Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and Jackie and he
Speaker 2: arms range.
Speaker 1: From studio C See You signor Little Friday.
Speaker 2: We're deep within the bouteles of.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Giddy Communications Compound. Hey, y'all, today we're
Speaker 1: under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3: Telsey Gabber, stepping in the ring, facing the fire, under
Speaker 3: the spotlight, some sort of fiery spotlight ring.
Speaker 2: Those are the best kind, AH tell you.
Speaker 1: It's like one of those stunt motorcycle shows from the seventies,
Speaker 1: a lot of flame.
Speaker 2: And rings that was very hot then no pun intended.
Speaker 1: I feel like my whole life, certainly my whole career
Speaker 1: of doing this sort of thing. I felt like I
Speaker 1: had some grasp of what was going on in the world,
Speaker 1: and like the narrative and what people were talking about
Speaker 1: and all that, and I don't now. I just I've
Speaker 1: lost the grasp. And I don't know if it's me
Speaker 1: or if it's the just the way the world now
Speaker 1: works or whatever. But I'm just so confused. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how the Epstein story continues to be a thing
Speaker 1: and what people are even talking about. And then I
Speaker 1: don't understand how Tulci Gabbard goes up yesterday, does a
Speaker 1: briefing in the White House press room, first time she's
Speaker 1: ever been in there, and and says previous president orchestrated
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah, and it just doesn't make
Speaker 1: the news while Epstein makes the news all the time.
Speaker 1: I just don't I my brain is breaking. I don't
Speaker 1: understand what's going on. Yeah, I've got to admit it's
Speaker 1: a really it's a great thought. I've been so busy
Speaker 1: trying to grasp what people are talking about that I
Speaker 1: haven't stepped back and taken the broad view like you're
Speaker 1: trying to do.
Speaker 2: But it's a it's a good question. How is that
Speaker 2: not the lead story everywhere? Is it? Because?
Speaker 1: Uh, I feel like it's not even being treated as
Speaker 1: big as it should be on Fox.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is. Is it because
Speaker 1: everybody thinks Tulca Gabbart is a kook? And I know
Speaker 1: some of you don't, but is it enough people think
Speaker 1: she's a cook? So shes say, Well, she's saying that it's.
Speaker 2: A big deal. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: The d D and I came out and said a
Speaker 1: previous president orchestrated an attempt to Bobba all these differen
Speaker 1: things that would be criminal and certainly guilty of treason. Right, yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's it is a big thing to say. But
Speaker 1: is it a big deal indeed? Because I don't think
Speaker 1: anything will come of it. Number one, what she's accusing
Speaker 1: Obama of doing. And Obama and Brennan and Clapper and
Speaker 1: company call me dirty, liars, dirty, just manipulative phony under
Speaker 1: oath liars, Okay, And you know there could be some
Speaker 1: charges there, I suppose, But in terms of Obama, what
Speaker 1: he's accused of is squarely within the realm of executive immunity,
Speaker 1: the presidential immunity that Trump himself just got the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court to declare not very long ago, making calls within
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I'm not saying it was good, but
Speaker 1: the plausible deniability is the size of an elephant.
Speaker 2: It's not going to go anywhere.
Speaker 1: And I just I don't know why your foxes are
Speaker 1: ignoring it exactly, but I I don't feel they didn't
Speaker 1: ignore of the level that would be appropriate given what
Speaker 1: you just said anywhere, right. They didn't ignore it, but
Speaker 1: they didn't lead with it. It sure seems like the lead
Speaker 1: story to me. Yeah, uh, if you're gonna take it
Speaker 1: on face value. But uh, but the story that like
Speaker 1: was on the front page of everything today, not that
Speaker 1: anybody sees the front page of anything any anymore. On
Speaker 1: pay per versions was, uh, it's your top click was
Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump's name does appear in the
Speaker 1: Epstein files. Oh, that's just that was the lead on
Speaker 1: the news last night. Is the front page of everything.
Speaker 1: And again, I don't understand what you're talking about. I
Speaker 1: just I don't understand what you're talking about. Those files
Speaker 1: have been around for a very long time, including under
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and a completely controlled democratic government, and you
Speaker 1: didn't have any interest in it whatsoever. And now you're
Speaker 1: acting like it's I don't I don't know what sort
Speaker 1: of weird judo is going on here. Even the New
Speaker 1: York Times is reporting that Democrats are swallowing their reservations
Speaker 1: to go on offense on the Epstein files because they
Speaker 1: just it's it's completely unnatural and out of nowhere for
Speaker 1: them to all of a sudden be interested and everybody
Speaker 1: knows it. Well, does everybody know worse? I hope so,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they do.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I never know how regular people who don't follow news closely,
Speaker 1: how stuff lands with them.
Speaker 2: That's the bulk of the country. Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, The New York Times their leads stories about Gossen's starving. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the front page of the paper paper
Speaker 1: which I saw on the television.
Speaker 2: Do oh good lord, really.
Speaker 1: Yes, the front page of the paper paper, Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: New York Times, New York Post, practically every big publication
Speaker 1: you could think of their paper paper front page was
Speaker 1: Trump's name in Epstein files m and on the news
Speaker 1: last night when I flipped on the five thirty news. Oh,
Speaker 1: for goodness sakes, I wonder if to actually move a
Speaker 1: paper paper. The industry has realized it's got to be
Speaker 1: clickbaitier than clickbait. Pay a dollar bait has got to
Speaker 1: be all the more pandry than clickbait, because that's a
Speaker 1: ridiculous headline. Because well, because.
Speaker 4: Epstein knew everybody in New York.
Speaker 1: There are hundreds of names quote unquote in the files,
Speaker 1: and it was made very clear in all of the stories.
Speaker 2: Every single one, even in the liberal media. I read.
Speaker 2: It was made clear immediately that.
Speaker 1: The AG said, yeah, your name's in there, but it's
Speaker 1: nothing significant, it's nothing derogatory. It's just in there. So
Speaker 1: it's a nothing burger. Well, I don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 1: So all the Democrats plus all the Democrats plus three
Speaker 1: Republicans voted to release the Epstein files yesterday.
Speaker 2: It continues.
Speaker 1: That's not clickbait. That's in our government. That's the continuing
Speaker 1: to act like it's a big deal. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what either side is doing.
Speaker 4: There's a tremendous amount of phony show voting.
Speaker 1: That's what this all is. A lot of it, well
Speaker 1: not all of it. I'm sorry, that's unfair. A lot
Speaker 1: of it is just show voting, no significance. That guy
Speaker 1: we played yesterday, whatever his name is, I forgot he
Speaker 1: he's Burschett. He leads one of the committees. He clearly
Speaker 1: believes in the giant child sex trafficking ring thing, because
Speaker 1: he gets very emotional and worked up when he's talking
Speaker 1: about this. So that's his belief, or he believes his
Speaker 1: constituents believe it. Yeah, Yeah, I came across a really
Speaker 1: interesting and well researched to think piece that pointed out
Speaker 1: and it's probably the most sad and depressing thing I've
Speaker 1: ever read.
Speaker 4: So I'll be sharing it with you at length later. No,
Speaker 4: I probably.
Speaker 1: Won't pointing out and I'll say this, then I'll move
Speaker 1: on quickly to another important point, but that ninety nine
Speaker 1: point nine nine percent of child molestation, child sexual exploitation
Speaker 1: happens within families, family members, not strangers, not trafficking, and
Speaker 1: that a lot of the Epstein outrage is people of
Speaker 1: good and decent conscience desperate to do something about all
Speaker 1: of the sexual exploitations of children in the world. But
Speaker 1: the problem is most of it is that terrible, but mundane,
Speaker 1: rarely reported, often misreported, murky world of my uncle touched me.
Speaker 1: That's the vast majority of it. Well, that's horrible. It
Speaker 1: is horrible. It's horrible. Anyway, onto the less depressing point,
Speaker 1: but interesting. The judge who was asked to rule on
Speaker 1: whether the grand jury, the Epstein grand jury files, testimony records,
Speaker 1: et cetera, could be released, issued a very reasonable rulings,
Speaker 1: said there are specific legal limits on when this sort
Speaker 1: of thing can be released, and the petition by the
Speaker 1: government hasn't come close to getting there. This would not
Speaker 1: be a proper release of a grand jury records in
Speaker 1: spite of the public interest.
Speaker 2: How soon this is?
Speaker 1: This not a story for mainstream media because I thought
Speaker 1: it was over a week ago, and it's still every day.
Speaker 1: I heard Mark Alpern and Meghan Kelly, both extremely intelligent
Speaker 1: and both extremely well informed and connected, say.
Speaker 2: A week ago, week and a half ago, that it.
Speaker 1: Peter out within a couple of days. They both saw
Speaker 1: it still so every day. I don't know, it is
Speaker 1: still an everyday story. It's got to end soon. There's
Speaker 1: nothing to talk about, all right, so we'll start the show.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to talk about unless unless there is, I
Speaker 1: mean why, Like there are several people like Prince Andrew
Speaker 1: most prominently, who settled big time with some of the accusers,
Speaker 1: including missus Jeffrey I believe her name is, who is
Speaker 1: now deceased. The people who settled, the people who were
Speaker 1: named as being into the teenagers.
Speaker 4: Where is that investigation? Why is it dried up?
Speaker 1: That's what people want to know, and that's what they
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a good solid explanation of. Look, there are
Speaker 1: other people within this report. I'm not going to name
Speaker 1: them because we can't press charges. And here's why we're
Speaker 1: not charging mister X, Y and Z. And just say
Speaker 1: that because the way it looks now to people is
Speaker 1: nothing to see here, just as you are folks go
Speaker 1: about your business, nothing to see here, and people are
Speaker 1: not satisfied with that. Let's start to show officially. I'm
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getti on This is Little Friday, Thursday,
Speaker 1: July twenty fourth, the year twenty twenty five, where I'm
Speaker 1: strong and getting We approved of this program. Let's be
Speaker 1: in then officially, according the FCC rules and regulations, here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 2: The show starts at mark. So do you believe boys
Speaker 2: should be able to play in girls sports?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: Do you believe the kids under the age of eighteen
Speaker 1: should be able to be put on puberty blockers then
Speaker 1: cross sex hormones? Parents have to make that decision themselves,
Speaker 1: I think, and before somebody makes a life decision, they
Speaker 1: have to think twice about that. Rama Manuel, I'm making
Speaker 1: Kelly's podcast. She also asked him can a man become
Speaker 1: a woman? He said, no, Gavy, don't even bother. We're
Speaker 1: going to compare and contrast Ram Emmanuel's political chops with
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's.
Speaker 2: Later Yeah, that lane is that lane is taken.
Speaker 1: That's you know, if you'd enjoy Mike Tyson boxing an
Speaker 1: eight year old girl, you'll enjoy that feature et.
Speaker 2: So that'll be fun to watch. Rama Manuel is good.
Speaker 1: He will beat the hell out of Gavin I on
Speaker 1: a debate stage and others. So we got the headlines
Speaker 1: on the way and mail bag this hour and the
Speaker 1: other stories to get to God, dang it, what I
Speaker 1: just I can't wrap my head around what stories get
Speaker 1: all the attention, what stories get no attention, and trying
Speaker 1: to wrestle that to the ground.
Speaker 2: In the modern world. I don't I think something has
Speaker 2: broken in our discourse.
Speaker 1: Well we must lead, but screw your courage to the
Speaker 1: sticking place. Some of the clips from that hearing yesterday
Speaker 1: and that scumbag murderers sentencing in Idaho are pretty dramatic,
Speaker 1: and we'll get all of those if you haven't heard
Speaker 1: of them, among other things. Stay with us, boy, here's
Speaker 1: a headline just because it's right in front of me
Speaker 1: from Chicago Tribune. Tesla's prophet plunges again as the fallout
Speaker 1: for Elon Musk's politics continue to repel buyers. It continues
Speaker 1: to be true to me that on a near daily
Speaker 1: basis happened yesterday. I either get flipped off or get
Speaker 1: the thumbs down when I'm driving my cyber truck. M
Speaker 1: matters to enough people. If that were the only problem,
Speaker 1: that would be a huge problem. The other problem is
Speaker 1: is government policy has changed all the incentives. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was barely worth it to buy an electric vehicle anyway, financially.
Speaker 1: People weren't doing it for the people were making a
Speaker 1: at least in the town I live, and mostly it
Speaker 1: was a signal of how I care about climate change.
Speaker 1: And then the seventy five hundred dollars tax credit and
Speaker 1: whatever else. The other boosts you got was enough to
Speaker 1: get you over the line. But you're right, you take
Speaker 1: that away and the politics turn. You got nothing right.
Speaker 1: But to my point, the other electric vehicle makers are
Speaker 1: seeing their sales plunge too, and everywhere but China. It's
Speaker 1: just such a small share their business. It doesn't nobody cares.
Speaker 1: GM pennies maybe, but yeah, yeah, the bloom is definitely
Speaker 1: off of that particular rows.
Speaker 2: Fast. They are getting weird fast, Elon.
Speaker 1: Boy, howdy what a rocket ship up and then down?
Speaker 1: Tesla is Oh, and it may still have a future
Speaker 1: of some sort. I mean they were into batteries and
Speaker 1: energy storage systems and stuff like that. Who knows, Maybe
Speaker 1: they turn it around. Elon's brilliant, but man, these are
Speaker 1: dark days. Yeah, I'd say this is not a headline
Speaker 1: before we get to what Joe's got for headlines. This
Speaker 1: is not a headline, but the Wall Street Journal opinion
Speaker 1: piece from Carl Rove today about the whole Epstein thing
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting about how you know you built this
Speaker 1: whole conspiracy thing. Vote for us and we'll bring the
Speaker 1: evildoers and now you don't get the payoff. How many
Speaker 1: people Not that people will necessarily vote on this issue,
Speaker 1: but just your enthusiasm for getting to the polls that
Speaker 1: existed in November, and I know plenty of people that
Speaker 1: were enthused, particularly around that seems to Epstein thing, to
Speaker 1: get out and vote that are just not going to
Speaker 1: vote in the midterms, just like you guys.
Speaker 2: Are all a bunch of whatever, just like everybody else.
Speaker 1: Mull and given how weak turnout is for midterms generally speak,
Speaker 1: and that could have an outsized effect, no doubt. You know,
Speaker 1: we will get to a couple of headlines real quick.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to mention there are a handful
Speaker 1: of things I'm very excited about today. Number one, talking
Speaker 1: to our friend Judge Larry about the scumbag and Idaho
Speaker 1: and you know what, I know his name, but I've
Speaker 1: decided consciously I'm not going to use it. I don't
Speaker 1: know his name. I'm not going to memorize it. I
Speaker 1: don't like learning the names of people like that. You've
Speaker 1: already you've gotten too much space in my head. If
Speaker 1: I know your name, piece of human garbage, you will
Speaker 1: soon be in a cage. But we'll talk to George
Speaker 1: Judge Larry about the plea deal and the hearing yesterday
Speaker 1: and what the prosecution should have gotten and didn't. Very
Speaker 1: interesting conversation which we will more or less repeat on
Speaker 1: the air. Secondly, little feature i'd like to call and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty proud of this one, Mom Dammy for mom dummies,
Speaker 1: an unbelievably interesting, uh explanation of his appeal. You said
Speaker 1: you're proud of that, I am, Mom Dammy for mom dummies.
Speaker 2: Stay with us. Uh?
Speaker 4: Plus, well, what was the other one that?
Speaker 1: Oh, oh oh, gender bending, Madness, dem On dem violence.
Speaker 4: Edition coming up later. Okay, so stay with us.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's see we make get clear since this is
Speaker 1: a headline a lots of places I just saw at
Speaker 1: any Easy News Trump named it Ebstein files. Is it
Speaker 1: clear to everyone that that doesn't mean a thing? I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure we didn't leave that, you know,
Speaker 1: too hip for the room. We're assuming you're tracking with
Speaker 1: us too easily. That doesn't mean anything. And by it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything, I mean it doesn't mean anything. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, no in what constantly the whole the
Speaker 1: Epstein thing? What do you mean exactly? Just do you
Speaker 1: mean the narrow criminal case? Do you mean the child
Speaker 1: sex ring? Do you mean Israel's in charge?
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: And in the files? The files are voluminous. There are
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of pages. There were hundreds of agents
Speaker 1: working on that case, which is amazing hundreds.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got a lot more to get to. I
Speaker 2: hope you can stay here. If you miss a segment,
Speaker 2: you can always get the podcast Armstrong and get you
Speaker 2: on to them. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest headlines that we didn't get to
Speaker 1: that we should mention in Columbia has agreed to pay
Speaker 1: a penalty of two hundred million dollars to the government
Speaker 1: for violating federal law and addition to over twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars to their Jewish employees who were unlawfully targeted harassed.
Speaker 2: Excellent.
Speaker 1: It's being treated differently in different news quarters about you know,
Speaker 1: Trump extorting colleges so they can get their federal funding back.
Speaker 2: Or you could look at it as.
Speaker 1: They're clearly violating people's rights in the way that they
Speaker 1: usually complain about.
Speaker 2: Which you on the left used to be uh into.
Speaker 1: I think you were kind of interested in that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, right, Yes, No, unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I've got to admit.
Speaker 1: The one odd part of it to me is that
Speaker 1: they are going to pay the government two hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars to resolve civil rights investigations, which will reinstate hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars of research grants at federal funding. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why the money has to cross in
Speaker 1: the mail. I would make that deal too, So I
Speaker 1: have to give you two hundred million dollars to get
Speaker 1: back five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, can we move on place. But anyway,
Speaker 2: it's it's it's good.
Speaker 1: And there are a couple other stories, you know, in
Speaker 1: that area about the out of control, rampant progressiveism of
Speaker 1: our universities, at least getting a punch in the nose,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's going to be a decades
Speaker 1: long fight to win them back. Anyway, speaking of fights,
Speaker 1: there was a court hearing yesterday, the scenting hearing for
Speaker 1: the inhumane monster who butchered for college kids, either for
Speaker 1: fun or to show how clever he was, and as
Speaker 1: a criminology major, he knew how to get away with crimes.
Speaker 1: And we'll play a couple of clips then more on
Speaker 1: that theme. But it's sensing hearing. The victim impact statements
Speaker 1: are heard, and the victim's families, since the victims are
Speaker 1: all dead, the victims families, the roommates of the victims, etc.
Speaker 2: Made statements about the.
Speaker 1: Monster as they have the right to do, or about
Speaker 1: how the crime has affected them, and we'll play a
Speaker 1: handful of those.
Speaker 2: This is the sister one of the victims.
Speaker 6: Where is the murder weapon, the clothes you wore that night?
Speaker 6: What were Kaylee's last words? If you're really smart, do
Speaker 6: you think you'd be here right now if you had
Speaker 6: attacked them in their sleep in the middle of the
Speaker 6: night like a pedophile. Kaylee would have kicked your mess.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: So I want to approach this delicately because it's an
Speaker 1: obviously very delicate situation, and people get to grieve or
Speaker 1: handle these situations however they want. I hope to hell,
Speaker 1: I never ever am in this situation. But what are
Speaker 1: what are you hoping to get when you do that?
Speaker 1: I was looking at that guy sitting there. You're having
Speaker 1: no effect on him. He's a psychopath. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: think they hope their words echo in his ears as
Speaker 1: he lives in a cage until he finally dies, anonymous
Speaker 1: and alone.
Speaker 2: That's that's what they hope they want to have their say.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think i'd lean toward I'm not even going
Speaker 1: to dignify showing up. Go to jail for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life. I got other things to do with
Speaker 1: my life. Oh to the unanswered questions that Kaylee's sisters
Speaker 1: there had, We're going to talk to our friend judge
Speaker 1: Larry Judge Larry Goodman about this sort of hearing and
Speaker 1: how he believes those unanswered questions should have been answered
Speaker 1: as part of the plea deal. That's interesting, and he's
Speaker 1: pretty outraged that they weren't. That is really interesting. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to him next hour. I believe it's next hour.
Speaker 1: Here is that same victim's mom.
Speaker 2: Quick message from our youngest daughter.
Speaker 6: Aubrey wanted to say, you may have.
Speaker 1: Received a's in high school and college, but you're going
Speaker 1: to be getting big d's in prison.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That would be an implied threat of prison rape for
Speaker 1: the perpetrator, who that probably won't happen because the way
Speaker 1: he's going to be held from what I understand.
Speaker 4: But anyway, that's an interesting note to go with.
Speaker 1: But that's what they said about Jeffrey Dahmer and a
Speaker 1: number of other people who ended up dying in very
Speaker 1: horrific ways in prison, right yeah, yeah, getting their head crushed,
Speaker 1: which is a different question.
Speaker 2: But and then here's her dad.
Speaker 5: We started calling, we started texting, we started emailing, and
Speaker 5: you know what, within hours, within hours, we had your
Speaker 5: white car and a camera. We knew, we knew from
Speaker 5: the very beginning we had you. The police officers tell us,
Speaker 5: within minutes they had your DNA like a calling card.
Speaker 5: You were that careless, that foolish, that's stupid, master degree,
Speaker 5: You're a joke.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think I must have had an experience
Speaker 1: that I'm blocking out somewhere of having the trying to
Speaker 1: get to somebody whose brain doesn't work right, And how
Speaker 1: incredibly frustrating that is that you're having no impact on
Speaker 1: them because they don't care.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what I'm thinking of, because you had the
Speaker 1: guy man, look at the do you see the blank
Speaker 1: look on that dude's face. He's freaking completely Whatever those
Speaker 1: people are, I don't know what those people are, psychopaths,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the same look that defendants always have.
Speaker 1: Convicts in those hearings, those victim impact I've seen a
Speaker 1: bunch of them. They all stare impassively ahead because and
Speaker 1: I don't debate your point that he's his brain doesn't
Speaker 1: work right and he's a psychopath or a twistoid of
Speaker 1: one variety or another. But they all do that, because
Speaker 1: what's the alternative. I mean, unless you're truly a monster
Speaker 1: and then you laugh and you mug at people or whatever,
Speaker 1: most of them just sit there in a self induced
Speaker 1: trance and wait for it to be over so they
Speaker 1: can get back to their cell.
Speaker 2: That's not the clip. I thought it was.
Speaker 1: That last one, and I'm not sure we have it.
Speaker 1: Kaylee's dad saying essentially, your fifteen minutes of fame is
Speaker 1: over and it's good.
Speaker 2: Well, the judge said that too.
Speaker 1: Actually, he said it's time for your fifteen minutes of
Speaker 1: fame to be over. Go be anonymous, Go be nobody
Speaker 1: in a cell right along. Yeah, that's kind of the
Speaker 1: angle I was working at. But I did like the
Speaker 1: somebody saying, you're not as smart as you think you are.
Speaker 1: If you're so smart, you wouldn't be here, you'd have
Speaker 1: been able to pull it off. You're an idiot.
Speaker 2: Well, and the.
Speaker 1: Dad who we just heard went on at some length
Speaker 1: about how clearly you thought you're such a criminal genius
Speaker 1: you could do this, and you did it to show
Speaker 1: how smart you are, and he lectured the guy on
Speaker 1: how incredibly stupid he was and how easy it was
Speaker 1: to catch him. Now, you know, if that brings dad
Speaker 1: some measure of peace, or if that's something he had
Speaker 1: to get off his chest, right, good, good say it.
Speaker 1: But what's done is done, and what's done is unthinkable.
Speaker 2: It's just horrible.
Speaker 1: I'm interested in talking to the judge coming up later
Speaker 1: about some of the legal aspects of this. So we taxpayers,
Speaker 1: not we in this case, I guess it'd be Idaho taxpayers.
Speaker 2: Where is it? Federal prison? What is it? What kind
Speaker 2: of prison is he in? State?
Speaker 1: So Idaho taxpayers, they have to pay extra money to
Speaker 1: protect this scumbag. So you get that on top of
Speaker 1: everything else, I got to pick more of my money
Speaker 1: goes to make sure he doesn't get his head carved
Speaker 1: in or raped all day. According to one correspondent, he'll
Speaker 1: be in it's a twenty three hour lockdown, maximum security situation,
Speaker 1: so he'll be kept isolated from other humans. Although again,
Speaker 1: like a number of other high profile people, at some
Speaker 1: point down the line and something must change or I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's amazing how many of these people
Speaker 1: end up with ugly ends to their lives. They're in prison, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're head caved in in a bathroom or what have you. Like,
Speaker 1: what happened to the subway?
Speaker 2: Dude?
Speaker 1: Subway saying subway dude, the subway soared? Yeah didn't something
Speaker 1: didn't he have a tragic ending? Also, I don't remember
Speaker 1: that something came to.
Speaker 2: His Now he was just beaten in prison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got beaten really bad. You ever been beaten
Speaker 1: really bad? Michael, let's say. I mean, just because you
Speaker 1: don't end up dead doesn't mean it's not pretty awful.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: But I remember he was going to get all kinds
Speaker 1: of protection because as a you know, a pedophile, he
Speaker 1: was a target, the biggest target of all. And some
Speaker 1: point the protection went away, or the judt where the
Speaker 1: guards decided, oh, it's a beautiful sunrise we got today.
Speaker 1: I think I'll go check that out.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works, but somehow these people
Speaker 1: don't end up being quite as protected as you were
Speaker 1: led to believe in the beginning. I have read, I
Speaker 1: have it on quite good authority that inmates like this guy,
Speaker 1: the other guys at the inmate at the prison are
Speaker 1: well aware that he's coming because they get to take
Speaker 1: in media. Uh, and they're are There is a desire
Speaker 1: on the part of some of the inmates to make
Speaker 1: their name being the guy who ended the monster yeah
Speaker 1: or beat him up or whatever.
Speaker 2: I know that was the thing, was Jeffrey Dahmer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And indeed, I am told by those close to a
Speaker 1: source close to a source that this is exactly that
Speaker 1: sort of guy. Oh I'm sure, yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: as I said yesterday, as a libertarian leaning guy, I
Speaker 1: don't want extra judicial penalties because that's not the way
Speaker 1: the system is supposed to work. Once you allow it
Speaker 1: to work that way, it's it can all fall apart.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, there's a lot of things to
Speaker 1: worry about in the world, and whether or not this
Speaker 1: guy gets raped or his head gets crushed in I
Speaker 1: don't have the bandwidth for that concern, right, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a long list of things to worry about
Speaker 1: before I'm worried about that even a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, ugliness, ugliness. Sorry, we'll move on.
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised that people like that fight so hard
Speaker 1: to avoid the death penalty. I'm surprised he cares whether
Speaker 1: he lives or dies. I would agree, I would agree.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that myself yesterday. I don't I
Speaker 1: suppose we all want to stay alive even if you're
Speaker 1: gonna Even if you that's what you did, you're going
Speaker 1: to be in a very confined prison forever with no
Speaker 1: chance of getting out right and surprising to me, afraid
Speaker 1: for your life. Uh, whenever you're in contact with other humans. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I suppose so. I don't know, but he did. They
Speaker 1: fought very hard. I mean everything was to do with
Speaker 1: getting not getting the death penalty. That's all the trading
Speaker 1: they did. You know, if there's one takeaway from this
Speaker 1: that gives me the will to continue, it's that people
Speaker 1: need to understand that evil exists. You can debate about
Speaker 1: the theological source of evil, or the nature of it,
Speaker 1: or the psychological aspects of it or whatever, but evil exists.
Speaker 1: And it gets back to our theme yesterday. I think
Speaker 1: it may have been hour two that a society that
Speaker 1: is so tolerant it tolerates intolerance will lose its tolerance.
Speaker 4: It will become utterly intolerant.
Speaker 1: And in the same way, a society that becomes so
Speaker 1: tolerant that it will not call out evil is doomed.
Speaker 2: I agree with all that.
Speaker 1: The flip side of that would be something we've been
Speaker 1: saying for decades. Is the reason this got so much attention,
Speaker 1: or sometimes these cases get so much attention, is that
Speaker 1: they're so unlikely.
Speaker 2: It's so rare that people just out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Are going to sneak into you know, you can't live
Speaker 1: your life scared of child abductions which are rare, or
Speaker 1: at somebody breaking in your house and killing you like this.
Speaker 1: I mean, these things almost never happen, right, one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: which is you know why they get so much attention
Speaker 1: when they do, because it's so incredibly unthinkable.
Speaker 2: Well that's enough of that.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Yeah, mail bag is considerably more lighthearted. I
Speaker 1: can promise you that. Plus coming up, he says, desperately,
Speaker 1: trying to salvage the mood.
Speaker 2: Mum dummy for mum dummies. Stay with us. Also, I
Speaker 2: see up there easy homemade dishes to make your dog smile.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm cooking for my dog in this scenario, I guess.
Speaker 1: So we got a lot on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here. How you doing? You want to feel superior
Speaker 2: to people?
Speaker 1: I mean, what's better than that a cup of coffee
Speaker 1: starts your day and feeling superior to your your fellows,
Speaker 1: what your financial feeling about, how how well you're doing
Speaker 1: compared to others.
Speaker 2: We got latest polling on that, and we'll get to
Speaker 2: that now or two. A chance to feel superior or
Speaker 2: inferior to others.
Speaker 1: Oh and how that affec the support for old Momdami
Speaker 1: in New York. That very topic, yeah say is stay tuned.
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom woman quota of today. I think we'll
Speaker 1: wrap up our series with Thomas Sowel. I love this one.
Speaker 1: Life does not ask us what we want. It presents
Speaker 1: us with options. Economics is one of the ways of
Speaker 1: trying to make the most of those options. I know
Speaker 1: that seems so simple. It's not saying anything, but if
Speaker 1: you look at virtually everything you do in life is
Speaker 1: a series of options, a set of options. I don't
Speaker 1: know it's clarifying to me. It's not that life is
Speaker 1: coming at you and it's what you want, or it's
Speaker 1: what you don't want or whatever. Just think about Okay,
Speaker 1: here are my options. And I look at life that
Speaker 1: way all day, every day I would I really get tired, tiring,
Speaker 1: but yeah, everything is that way, especially time. Am I
Speaker 1: going to do this right now or all the other
Speaker 1: things I could do at that time?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I think when it really counts, as when you need
Speaker 1: clarity when you don't have it and things are seeming
Speaker 1: just crazy in all this produce it to Okay, what
Speaker 1: are my options?
Speaker 2: Anyway? I hope you find that helpful.
Speaker 1: Mailbag drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty dot com. When things get really nutty, I write,
Speaker 1: I write, like write, actually write it down. Here's the
Speaker 1: pros and cons and this, here's the pro cons of this.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that helps you understand.
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Indeed, Matt from Cloverdale, Michaelangelo's number one fan.
Speaker 2: He signs off.
Speaker 1: During yesterday's mailbag segment, you highlighted chat GPT pulling quotes
Speaker 1: from your transcripts. Here's the thing, Well, we don't have
Speaker 1: transcripts with I don't recall you ever saying those things.
Speaker 2: I listen every day.
Speaker 1: Are you sure didn't just do that thing where it
Speaker 1: makes stuff up? Did it just invent ang quotes? Thanks
Speaker 1: that great day.
Speaker 2: Maybe it invents better quotes than we're capable of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wish, Matt.
Speaker 1: I actually, as I was reading those, I was thinking,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's not what I said. That's characterizing
Speaker 1: what I said. And as a word, Smith, I find
Speaker 1: that very annoying. First interview I ever did with a paper,
Speaker 1: they interviewed me about being the new radio guy in
Speaker 1: town or what I can't even remember, but he asked.
Speaker 1: The reporter asked a question, and I gave a very
Speaker 1: specific answer, and I was very proud of how I
Speaker 1: phrased it. He rephrased it to be what he would
Speaker 1: have said, and it was dumb. I'm pretty sure dumb
Speaker 1: and clunky. Pretty sure that's been every time we've ever
Speaker 1: been in a newspaper or any publication that's been rephrased, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: And they just quotes around it.
Speaker 1: I interviewed William Shakespeare and he said, being or not
Speaker 1: being is kind of something.
Speaker 2: You worry about. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Moving along, Kevin the Texas Marine saying thanks for the
Speaker 1: first metal clip you played when you were looking for

Speaker 1: of humanity not looking for dessert grading from their favorite.
Speaker 2: Talk show hosts.
Speaker 1: Jack is great at so many things, but he is
Speaker 1: a lousy food critic. On Wednesday's show, Jack declared that
Speaker 1: the Subway cookie was a really good cookie. This is
Speaker 1: in line with many of his previous declarations, including that
Speaker 1: the mcflury is a really good desert.
Speaker 2: It is heavy, sigh, takes good.
Speaker 1: There's no way you can deny that a mcfluory is
Speaker 1: a good dessert. Even before Jack lost his ability to
Speaker 1: taste sweet, Thanks doctor Fauci, his self admitted diet consists
Speaker 1: of fat food, breakfast cereals, gas station sushi, grocery store
Speaker 1: parking lot pie in the occasional Bang Bang, just to
Speaker 1: name a few of his signature dunning options.
Speaker 2: That's all true. Am I asking too much?
Speaker 1: When I asked that a man who can't taste dessert
Speaker 1: stops telling the world which desserts he thinks are top notch?
Speaker 2: Amen to that, brother, Amen, I say, oh my god,
Speaker 2: so much more.
