Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Jetty and he.
Speaker 1: Armedy live from my home, piped into the Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Getty Communications.
Speaker 1: Compound to avoid spreading my back fever or monkey pox
Speaker 1: or perd.
Speaker 2: Floor or whatever I've got to everyone else. Here we
Speaker 2: are on a Friday, and.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, under the tutelage of
Speaker 1: our general manager going with Volodimir Zelensky soon to arrive
Speaker 1: at the White House to discuss ending the carnage. Yep,
Speaker 1: nobody knows exactly how that conversation's gonna go, how he's
Speaker 1: gonna act, how Trump's gonna act. I'll do a press conference,
Speaker 1: just like he's done this week with McCrone, the Prime
Speaker 1: Minister of England. I saw the stats the other day
Speaker 1: on how many questions Trump has taken in the first
Speaker 1: month compared to previous presidents. It's many, many, many multiples
Speaker 1: more than even our most verbose presidents, and obviously a
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount more than the last president, who didn't talk
Speaker 1: to anybody about anything, sure but his defense. He couldn't Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I actually got in my car
Speaker 1: to come to work today as planning a good drive
Speaker 1: to work, and I get in my car and I thought, no,
Speaker 1: I don't believe my stomach is going to let me.
Speaker 2: Go all the way to work. I think I better
Speaker 2: stay close to home.
Speaker 1: That might have been a disaster had I gotten on
Speaker 1: the road. This weird diseason. Our brain is in charge.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's unprecedented in the animal kingdom. But our
Speaker 1: bowels often ruled the day. Your big, old, fancy brain
Speaker 1: can say anything it wants if you're intestinal system says no,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, and I just throw I just
Speaker 1: throw that out to make it even more clear that
Speaker 1: you don't hear that on any other radio show.
Speaker 2: For better or worse.
Speaker 1: And we're up for some We're up for some new
Speaker 1: projects that may be coming our way, either new stations
Speaker 1: or new things.
Speaker 2: Everything like that we were.
Speaker 1: I just want to make it clear we're not like
Speaker 1: every other show. Yes, we're not like the other boys.
Speaker 1: My theory got blown up five minutes ago. I was
Speaker 1: sticking with my theory. I thought I was right until
Speaker 1: I got one more nugget of detail on the story
Speaker 1: people brought up to me most yesterday.
Speaker 2: Okay, when I found out.
Speaker 1: That the dog that died in Gene Hackman's home was
Speaker 1: in the crate, still in the crate, that ruins the hole.
Speaker 2: He ate the pills?
Speaker 1: Because I was going with Gene Hackman has a heart attack,
Speaker 1: dies in the mud room, his canes there, looks like
Speaker 1: he fell.
Speaker 2: She's so distraught, her husband of thirty some years.
Speaker 1: She couldn't take it. She gobbles some pills, she dies.
Speaker 1: Pills are spread around the floor. Dog eats some pills.
Speaker 1: Dog dies, solved, crawl pot solved, solved, solved, please, But
Speaker 1: the dog was in a crate, so the dog did
Speaker 1: not eat the pills.
Speaker 2: So now it's back to sort.
Speaker 1: Dog starved trying desperately to get out of the crate.
Speaker 2: Well that's the worst thing I ever heard. Oh goodness sakes.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm like, okay, that's a detail thought I look
Speaker 1: at facts. That's a detail we need to know. Because
Speaker 1: I was about to say, okay, we're back to the
Speaker 1: gas leak theory. But if the dog starved, no, well
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's starved, but if it was
Speaker 1: locked in a crate.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you just made that up. Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: I'm presuming it was locked in the crate as opposed
Speaker 1: to comfortably reclining there. No, it was, it was Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: it was in the crate. But it still could have
Speaker 1: been the gas thing. Maybe the gas was sober, But
Speaker 1: why the bottle of pills unless she got overcome, just
Speaker 1: happened to get overcome while she was taking her morning pills.
Speaker 2: It happens here.
Speaker 1: There is mystery here though, no doubt this is this
Speaker 1: is like some sort of movie mystery.
Speaker 2: Judy and I would watch It's It's It's.
Speaker 1: Well. I don't know that much about when people get
Speaker 1: overcoming their own homes by carbon monoxide or what's the
Speaker 1: other one. You got a beeper on your ceiling for
Speaker 1: raid dom that keeps you cancer, So that doesn't make
Speaker 1: you pass. So carbonnoxide does it? Does it like overwhelm
Speaker 1: you quickly? Like if if your house was full of it,
Speaker 1: would you open the door and immediately go down like
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman might have. I don't feel like it would
Speaker 1: be the way the door would open, air would mix.
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't think that would happen.
Speaker 1: I certainly think, well, if you pause to change your
Speaker 1: shoes or whatever, and you're ninety five and you're ninety four,
Speaker 1: exactly right. That's why your theory was crackpot. Why any
Speaker 1: woman with a ninety five year old husband who's shocked
Speaker 1: when he passes and it has to offer self hasn't
Speaker 1: been thinking about it much or had planned it all
Speaker 1: along and would leave a note.
Speaker 2: Oh so you believe it?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my frail ninety five year old husband
Speaker 1: has passed an untimely death, said nobody. So Joe Getti
Speaker 1: believes it was murder, murder, most foul. No, I have
Speaker 1: no ideas so intriguing a mystery. The current facts don't
Speaker 1: fit together with an easy explanation, which is, you know
Speaker 1: they do not what makes a good murder mystery or
Speaker 1: or mystery.
Speaker 2: We don't know that there's a murder, right.
Speaker 1: There are odd relationships here. He was in the mud rooms,
Speaker 1: she was in the master bath. Fairly, you know, good
Speaker 1: sized house.
Speaker 2: Now. A radio colleague.
Speaker 1: Brought up to me yesterday something about are you aware
Speaker 1: of the kids in the financial situation there? And I
Speaker 1: said no, And they said, okay, well that's an interesting
Speaker 1: so I haven't looked into that. But now we're going
Speaker 1: way and I think we're way into crazyville. Now, my
Speaker 1: theory was at least, you know, not doable. Well, as
Speaker 1: you know, I am a disciplined investigator. I don't to theories.
Speaker 1: I just collect evidence. Ninety five year olds don't just
Speaker 1: fall over dead. No, no, wait a second, to sit
Speaker 1: here all the time. Yes, in fact, that's the most
Speaker 1: likely thing that will happen to you when you get
Speaker 1: up in the morning as a ninety five year old
Speaker 1: today is fall over dead. Well, you try not to,
Speaker 1: like all day long. Yeah, that's anyway. I can't decide.
Speaker 1: Would I be amused if my end causes this sort
Speaker 1: of speculation. I'm not nearly as famous Gene Hackman, but
Speaker 1: some crazy intriguing people talk about it for a week's end.
Speaker 1: Or is that just I'd rather have them talking about
Speaker 1: my life's work.
Speaker 2: I think. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I like the idea they found Jack. He's sprawled on
Speaker 1: top of the table, a half eaten apple pie at
Speaker 1: his side. But why was the car running? You know,
Speaker 1: that's sort of excuse he forgot to turn it off. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: he'll be missed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. There's more to this story.
Speaker 1: It's definitely gone from nothing to see here just an
Speaker 1: old man died to what the hell? What the hell? Yes,
Speaker 1: something very strange has happened. And the one thing you
Speaker 1: have to remember is if the cops are being at
Speaker 1: all responsible and they have.
Speaker 2: The very details that were.
Speaker 1: Hungry for, they're not saying they don't want to tip
Speaker 1: off the subjects of an investigation. Again, they were partially mummified.
Speaker 1: If he didn't hear that detailed. They had been there
Speaker 1: for a while, week or weeks before anybody noticed, so
Speaker 1: that probably doesn't help the investigation. As I heard on
Speaker 1: NBC News last night, they said, if it was carbon monoxide,
Speaker 1: obviously in a couple of weeks, there's plenty of time
Speaker 1: for that to clear out of the air, so there's
Speaker 1: no way to detect, you know, if that's what did it, yeah,
Speaker 1: or maybe even you know, if they were drugged, if
Speaker 1: it was murdered by their greedy children.
Speaker 2: I have no idea of any of this stuff. By
Speaker 2: the way, the cal.
Speaker 1: The wife who's sixty almost sixty five as opposed to
Speaker 1: the great actor who was ninety five, she passed out,
Speaker 1: died whatever in the bathroom, pulling a space heater down
Speaker 1: beside her, which absolutely well no it could be suicide.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know, have to wait
Speaker 1: and see. I will be going over the autopsy results
Speaker 1: personally in detail.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: The dog dying in the crate, I never thought about.
Speaker 1: The dog could have starved to death, which is horrible.
Speaker 1: But now I'm back to poor boy Hackman has a
Speaker 1: heart attack. He had heart The reason he left acting
Speaker 1: was he had heart surgery when he was like seventy
Speaker 1: or something like that, and the doctor told him he
Speaker 1: couldn't handle the stress of that kind of work anymore.
Speaker 1: And that's why he got out of the biz. And
Speaker 1: so he's got a bad heart. He's ninety five years old,
Speaker 1: has a heart attack, She's distraught, takes the pills, dogs.
Speaker 2: In the cage can't eat.
Speaker 1: Horrible story, but I've solved it, so I just want
Speaker 1: my do when that finally gets declared. All right, then
Speaker 1: I've made a note.
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday,
Speaker 2: last day of February.
Speaker 1: If you had any plans in February of things you
Speaker 1: really wanted to do, day the last day, because this
Speaker 1: is this weird month that's twenty eight days long. February
Speaker 1: twenty eight year, twenty twenty five or armstrong you getting
Speaker 1: and we approve of this program. Let's begin then officially,
Speaker 1: according to FCC rules regulations, here comes the show at mark.
Speaker 2: That mister Zelenski is a dictator? Did I say that?
Speaker 2: I can't believe I said that.
Speaker 1: Next ration, here is the watchword of this Trump era.
Speaker 1: This is your your matto, your slogan. He says, all
Speaker 1: sorts of crazy kick crap. Watch what he does well.
Speaker 1: And he has got a certain style of negotiating which
Speaker 1: I would not appreciate if I was dealing with someone
Speaker 1: where they're going to like really insult me and try
Speaker 1: to make me so uncomfortable and then you know, immediately
Speaker 1: back off various things they said.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't dig that. But I was watching MSNBC.
Speaker 1: So Trump last week said Zelensky is a dictator, hasn't
Speaker 1: had an elections, blah blah blah. He's asked yesterday at
Speaker 1: the press conference that he's there with the British Prime
Speaker 1: Ministry the day before Zelensky's coming to town, which is today,
Speaker 1: do you still think Zelensky is a dictator?
Speaker 2: And he says, did I say that? I can't believe
Speaker 2: I said that?
Speaker 1: I can't believe I said that, and uh MSNBC portraded it.
Speaker 2: Does he not remember saying it? No?
Speaker 1: Did you see the smirk on his face? Did you
Speaker 1: miss the smirk? It was pretty obvious.
Speaker 2: Did I say that? Smark? Next question. It's just the
Speaker 2: way he is.
Speaker 1: He just tries to make people uncomfortable or or discombobulated
Speaker 1: or whatever. It's what he does, right, And the figures
Speaker 1: he's thrown out about we've given this much to Ukraine
Speaker 1: are like two and a half times the reality of it.
Speaker 2: And it's just I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good idea for president because
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessary.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, let's just let's see what sort
Speaker 2: of results come out of it.
Speaker 1: I would like to know what he said to Zelensky
Speaker 1: in private, because he keeps hinting at he did it
Speaker 1: again yesterday. Look, if we have assets there, obviously we'll
Speaker 1: have interest in the country. When they're asked about guaranteeing,
Speaker 1: you know, a defense for Britain and France, for instance,
Speaker 1: or saying they'll put thirty thousand troops on the ground,
Speaker 1: Trump's asked, will we commit troops? He said no, but
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if we have assets there, that's the
Speaker 1: mineral deal that we're going to sign today. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: we'll have assets there, we'll have some interesting country. He's
Speaker 1: hinting at Putin or whoever, like, we got money coming
Speaker 1: in from a big project, a bunch of Americans working there.
Speaker 2: You better not go in there?
Speaker 1: Did he tell Zelensky specifically privately that look, ain't no
Speaker 1: way we put up with that.
Speaker 2: So I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know either, Like the honey badger, Putin don't
Speaker 1: care his history of breaking your agreements, sometimes at enormous cost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but to realize his dreams of conquest is quite extensive.
Speaker 1: Directly attacking French and British troops and United States interests
Speaker 1: would be a different level.
Speaker 2: That'd be a different level. I would agree. He is the.
Speaker 1: Expert prober to find weakness. He wouldn't start there. He
Speaker 1: would find ways to go three quarters of the way there,
Speaker 1: test the reaction and push it another ten percent. Test
Speaker 1: the reaction. That's what he does over and over. It
Speaker 1: will be all about the West's reaction.
Speaker 2: Then want it.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be something. We've got Katie's headlines on the
Speaker 1: way and a lot of good stuff today. So stay
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 2: You're gonna do Katie's headlines. Next segment.
Speaker 1: Joe has become a Kremlinologist is that what they used
Speaker 1: to call him, and believes believes he can read Putin's
Speaker 1: mind and knows how he's going.
Speaker 2: To react to things.
Speaker 1: It's ted overstated, but yes, I have an idea overstating things.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the whole talk radio thing.
Speaker 1: All right, fine, So, as the Democrats wander in the
Speaker 1: wilderness in search of a strategy or a clue other
Speaker 1: than chanting in favor of government bloat, the next thing
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear squealing about his Medicaid reform. Want to
Speaker 1: give you a real perspective on what that is and
Speaker 1: is not, because of course they will be shrieking, amplified
Speaker 1: by the moron mainstream media that it is an offense
Speaker 1: against God and man. So again, a little pre perspective
Speaker 1: on that coming up later in the show. Also, Executive
Speaker 1: Hanson has his theory on what happened at Gene Hackman's house.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that. Oh okay, all right, excellent.
Speaker 1: First, though, it's time to take a fond look back
Speaker 1: at the week that was its cow clips of the week.
Speaker 2: This is the kind of snow it course of the week.
Speaker 2: Here's Zelensky is ready to make a major economic deal.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make security guarantees beyond very much.
Speaker 2: We're going to have Europe to do.
Speaker 1: The just so you understand, Europe is loaning the money
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, they get their money back.
Speaker 2: No, in fact, to be frank, we pay if you
Speaker 2: believe that. It's okay with me. The war didn't need
Speaker 2: to happen. It was provoked. Fair It's very complicated situation.
Speaker 3: And haha, there's Ukraine which has Chernobyl and some radiation
Speaker 3: proof dogs.
Speaker 2: Another Doge disruption. You're the White House.
Speaker 1: We say hell no to dismantling the postal service.
Speaker 2: Imagine Saint your postman? Can you count the people in
Speaker 2: the house? What day could he do? The census? Monday?
Speaker 2: How about Wednesday? Goes every day a grit. To achieve
Speaker 2: a trillion dollar deficit reduction, it requires saving four billion
Speaker 2: dollars per day every day. The MSNBC canceled Joy Reads
Speaker 2: TV show, Get what I was doing head value hen value. Personally,
Speaker 2: I think it is a bad mistake to let her
Speaker 2: walk out the door. You could peel on my leg,
Speaker 2: but don't tell me it's rain.
Speaker 3: Happer writing this book is like Hannibal Lecter writing one
Speaker 3: on the dangers of cannibalis, I'm gonna put my head
Speaker 3: in the oven during the commercial break.
Speaker 2: You have an electric oven, will just get your head hot.
Speaker 2: When I know how a friend pinch like wipe a
Speaker 2: pink in the winter.
Speaker 1: My message to young men is, don't allow this broken
Speaker 1: culture to send you a message that you're a bad person.
Speaker 2: There is a difference between the word woman and being
Speaker 2: a biological female. I don't know your gender. I don't
Speaker 2: know canvases. I don't know mine. You don't know my gender.
Speaker 2: I don't do I look like a woman. I don't
Speaker 2: know what a woman looks like. Curs because docs just rich.
Speaker 2: I immediately turn to about space.
Speaker 1: If you put your effort in concentration into playing to
Speaker 1: your potential, that'll be.
Speaker 2: The best that you can be. I don't care what
Speaker 2: the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In
Speaker 2: my book, we're going to be winners. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: Great Gene Hackman murdered by his dog or was he?
Speaker 1: Many theories are floating around and followed the investigation for you.
Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned this very important thing, and is this
Speaker 1: going to be a big deal or not. Somebody's trying
Speaker 1: to organize an economic blackout for today. I've been hearing
Speaker 1: about it all week. I can forgetting to bring it
Speaker 1: up on the air. It's some sort of liberal economic blackout.
Speaker 1: If you're a lefty and you don't like the Trump
Speaker 1: administration today, no purchases in any store or online, No Amazon, Walmart,
Speaker 1: Best Buy nowhere, no fast food, gas, major retailers, no
Speaker 1: credit in debit cards for non essential spending.
Speaker 2: We can do this together.
Speaker 1: And apparently it got sent all over to people who
Speaker 1: were on various Democratic lists, and we'll see if it
Speaker 1: makes a dent. Well, I saw this and I decided
Speaker 1: it was so stupid and lame. I wasn't even gonna
Speaker 1: bring it up. The idea is, and I quote roughly,
Speaker 1: we're going to show them how important we are to
Speaker 1: the economy. Okay, defer your purchases till tomorrow in them skulls, please,
Speaker 1: it's just flailing and silly.
Speaker 2: Okay. We got Katie's headlines, a bunch of other stuff
Speaker 2: on the right.
Speaker 4: Side, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: There's some honest to God, potentially history of the world.
Speaker 1: Changing news stories in development right now. Oh yeah, the pile,
Speaker 1: the one on top of the other. Yeah, that's quite
Speaker 1: amazingly craziness. Most interesting thing I've learned about college sports recently, well,
Speaker 1: that's probably not true. The most interesting thing is that
Speaker 1: they're paying them like pro athletes now and it's just
Speaker 1: completely changed the game.
Speaker 2: But the second most interesting thing coming up.
Speaker 1: Or that you're as likely to be a highly paid
Speaker 1: pro athlete because you're super hot, is because you score
Speaker 1: a lot of points.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another good one. All sorts of stuff to
Speaker 1: get to. We have mail bags, freedom ving, quote of
Speaker 1: the day all coming up. But first let's figure out
Speaker 1: who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4: Katie all right, guys, let's start with the New York Times.
Speaker 4: After insults and false claims Trump hosting Zolenski for minerals deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a what a development.
Speaker 1: This is So Trump made up this idea that they
Speaker 1: owed his money because that was yeah, nobody, nobody, nobody was.
Speaker 2: Saying that at any point.
Speaker 1: And uh and and now he's kind of done the
Speaker 1: presumptive clothes where everybody's just going with Yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 1: this will this will get us too, even if we
Speaker 1: get them anial rights deal. And Zlency's kind of acting
Speaker 1: like that, I guess at this point. And and Trump
Speaker 1: said the other day in front of Macrone, I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys had a guarantee where you get
Speaker 1: paid back And mcrun said.
Speaker 2: No, we didn't. We didn't have any expectation of getting
Speaker 2: paid back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't demand reparations from your allies.
Speaker 2: It's just not a thing that happens.
Speaker 1: But where this actually ends putting aside, you know, some
Speaker 1: of the crazy rhetoric is anybody's gas.
Speaker 2: But what if this is.
Speaker 1: And this could be some serious, three dimensional chest What
Speaker 1: is this if this just is a clever way to
Speaker 1: get us, us involved with a steak in Ukraine, where hey, Rush,
Speaker 1: you better not mess with us because we're involved now too.
Speaker 1: Whereas if we would have announced, you know, if we
Speaker 1: had just flat out announced we are going to you know,
Speaker 1: buy the mining corporation in Ukraine outright, and it's now
Speaker 1: off the table for Rush to mess with it, I mean,
Speaker 1: that would have been way more provocative. Right. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just need to wait and see, because what Trump says
Speaker 1: is frequently nutty.
Speaker 2: But then it ends up in a good place.
Speaker 4: So from the Washington Post, feds to start getting weekly
Speaker 4: emails asking what they did. Bosses will see if it
Speaker 4: fits Trump's goals.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was listening to a podcast the other day and
Speaker 1: the hosts, who are right leaning but hate Trump, we're saying,
Speaker 1: nobody in the free market does this, and if you did,
Speaker 1: you'd quit your And I thought, practically every salesperson I've
Speaker 1: ever known has to do this every week. It's not uncommon. Well,
Speaker 1: some people like, but it's not uncommon in the in
Speaker 1: the private sector, it really isn't. And sometimes it's unproductive
Speaker 1: and stupid. But I know in Silicon Valley there's a
Speaker 1: real culture of well, honestly, among go get them startups.
Speaker 1: Whether Silicon Valley or elsewhere, the culture is you prove
Speaker 1: yourself every day.
Speaker 2: The idea that you just coast is utterly foreign.
Speaker 4: ABC Pennsylvania bill could make it a felony to take children.
Speaker 2: To drag shows. Interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're saying it tends to corrupt the morals of
Speaker 4: a minor.
Speaker 2: I doubt that fits with something free speed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it won't score with the first Amendment. I
Speaker 1: like the discussion. It will provoke.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: You are a weirdo if you take your kids to
Speaker 1: drag shows, though, I will tell you that out.
Speaker 2: Yes it's weirdo. Yes you are. You're a sexualizing, woke
Speaker 2: numbs skull.
Speaker 4: From the New York Post, Biden Aid admits administration was
Speaker 4: gas lighting Americans by covering up alarm at his age
Speaker 4: and health.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's starting to come in drips and drives now
Speaker 1: with the Jake Tapper having his book that's coming out
Speaker 1: in May. This guy who was the press secretary for
Speaker 1: doctor Jill Biden so real doctor says yeah, we were
Speaker 1: absolutely gaslighting people from day one. Yes, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: didn't need that confirmation. No, I was not ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent certain he was senile and they were lying.
Speaker 2: I was one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: So well, the follow up question, though, is how do
Speaker 1: you feel about that? How do you feel about gas
Speaker 1: lighting the nation about whether or not the president is
Speaker 1: mentally capable of doing the job? You?
Speaker 2: Okay with that?
Speaker 1: Oh, it is doctor Jill's press secretary. He might have
Speaker 1: known squat about what was actually happening in the White House.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to know, excuse me, who was running
Speaker 1: the country. Oh, good one, who is making critical decisions,
Speaker 1: day to day decisions.
Speaker 4: I love this from Katie Grimes at the California Globe.
Speaker 4: Governor Gavin Newsom is trying to distance himself from himself
Speaker 4: with his latest vanity podcast.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 4: She's saying he thinks he can pass himself off as
Speaker 4: like this friendly by the fire chat guy.
Speaker 1: After all, the ts or a Bill Maher esque reasonable
Speaker 1: democrat who just wants to hear other points of view
Speaker 1: and call the balls.
Speaker 2: And strikes on his side as well as the other side.
Speaker 1: I was reading some of the publicity stuff there, generating.
Speaker 2: Which which sounds great.
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be cynical about that idea, but
Speaker 1: the fact that it would come out of Gavy, who
Speaker 1: has stolen such extravagant amounts of taxpayer money to hand
Speaker 1: out to his cronies, he makes like the Kings of
Speaker 1: old look modest in their ambitions. Well as for his podcast,
Speaker 1: same thing I said yesterday, and the idea seems like
Speaker 1: it's good. It's all about the execution in any entertainment venue, though,
Speaker 1: and we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: So there's a chance he'll be executed, is that what
Speaker 2: you're saying?
Speaker 1: Oh geez, what after a fair trial.
Speaker 4: This is America from brightbar dot com. Mark Zuckerberg's meta
Speaker 4: apologizes for quote error flooding Instagram with porn and violent videos.
Speaker 2: H porn and violent videos. Yes, yeah, I noticed. I
Speaker 2: noticed this too. I was like, what the help?
Speaker 4: First of all, how did this stuff get on the
Speaker 4: platform to begin with?
Speaker 2: And why am I seeing it?
Speaker 1: So you were just like seeing that Instagram feed of
Speaker 1: all the things that suggests and there is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was gross. Wow.
Speaker 4: And finally the Babylon b White House cheerleading squad loads
Speaker 4: Epstein files into T shirt cannons and launches them into
Speaker 4: the crowd.
Speaker 1: So the Epstein files did not come out yesterday. And
Speaker 1: Pam Bundy says, Pam Bondi, who is the Attorney General, says,
Speaker 1: the FBI is Stonewallinger on the list and she's going
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. And I'm not
Speaker 1: exactly sure what's going on there, No, no me neither.
Speaker 1: I mean Cash Betel's in charge.
Speaker 2: Of the FBI.
Speaker 1: You'd think if anybody could get the ball roll and
Speaker 1: he would, But I need to know more.
Speaker 2: Well, but I brought this up yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know that for a certain of you out there
Speaker 1: that listen to this show on the right QAnon and
Speaker 1: a lot of people qan on adjacent This whole Epstein
Speaker 1: list is a really big deal. They think this is
Speaker 1: the now We've got them Hollywood, the Clinton's, the Obamas,
Speaker 1: their pedophile ring.
Speaker 2: The whole thing is going to come out in the
Speaker 2: Epstein List.
Speaker 1: And it's possible that Pam Bondy and their Republicans think
Speaker 1: we got to figure out a way to massage this.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, I'll tell you all right. I
Speaker 1: don't even want to go down that rabbit hole with
Speaker 1: the rabbit Hole explorers. I just well, you don't think
Speaker 1: that they might think politically, we got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of we got I don't know if it's hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands or small numbers of millions or tens of millions
Speaker 1: of people out there who believe a certain thing. We
Speaker 1: can't blow up their illusion that keeps them on our
Speaker 1: side some sort of because you said, what they will
Speaker 1: do is somebody will claim some deep state actor is
Speaker 1: keeping the real information and we're fighting hard to get
Speaker 1: it exactly exactly. Yeah, they'll invent a plot twist that
Speaker 1: explains it all and makes it even more insidious. I said,
Speaker 1: the other day that it's a lot like how soap
Speaker 1: opera strings you along, Yeah, and how good guys become
Speaker 1: bad guys in there good guys again, and people rise
Speaker 1: from the dead, and evil twins appear then disappear. The
Speaker 1: QAnon things a lot like that. It's also a lot
Speaker 1: like The X Files. It dawned on me, which I
Speaker 1: just absolutely love the show. In the movie and the
Speaker 1: rest of it, where the great truth, the answer to
Speaker 1: the riddle is always just beyond your reach. But next
Speaker 1: episode Smoking Man will be brought to justice and always
Speaker 1: slipped away again. It's just it's like that, Well, isn't
Speaker 1: it always an old It's not an old woman.
Speaker 2: It was a mask. Now that's Scooby Do. I get
Speaker 2: Scooby Doo mixed up with the X Files. Yeah. Similar.
Speaker 1: So here's what I learned about college sports that I
Speaker 1: found very very interesting. That in all conferences there are
Speaker 1: huge fines. This is basketball now, and I suspect football
Speaker 1: is the same, but I'm not one hundred percent sure.
Speaker 1: There are huge fines if your fans rush the court
Speaker 1: after a big victory. In fact, in the SEC, it's
Speaker 1: a half million dollars if you storm the court. Well,
Speaker 1: your opponents are still on the court before they've lost,
Speaker 1: gotten to the locker room, finding the home team's school,
Speaker 1: finding whoever, well, yeah whatever. Fans rushes the court. Yeah huh.
Speaker 1: How do you stop that though, if you honest, well,
Speaker 1: A couple of schools have tried, including when Vanderbilt was
Speaker 1: about to upset Kentucky, which was a huge win for them.
Speaker 1: The athletic director went in front of the student section,
Speaker 1: pressed her hands together as if in prayer, and desperately played,
Speaker 1: please don't storm the court, Please don't. But they did,
Speaker 1: and it cost the school half a million dollars. I
Speaker 1: was about to say, in terms of strategies to keep
Speaker 1: your students from storming the court, I.
Speaker 2: Don't think that one's gonna work.
Speaker 1: So coaches are walking over with like thirty seconds left
Speaker 1: in the game, grabbing the PA mike and say.
Speaker 2: I can see that work. I could see that you
Speaker 2: were run onto the court.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be able to recruit players and win games.
Speaker 2: It's gonna cost us a lot of money. Stay in
Speaker 2: your damn sea.
Speaker 1: Its yell as loud as you want some big, mean
Speaker 1: basketball coach, he's scary. Well, well, and if you're really
Speaker 1: in it like I'm thinking, I'm a Kansas fan. If
Speaker 1: Bill self comes to the sideline says, hey, jayowk you
Speaker 1: love us, I love you.
Speaker 2: Please don't do this, I mean that carries some more.
Speaker 2: Wait it does.
Speaker 1: The athletic director doesn't have that same nuche among a
Speaker 1: Rabbit fans, and so another thing they're trying to do
Speaker 1: is communicate to the fans. Look, ninety seconds. Give us
Speaker 1: ninety seconds to get our opponents off the court. Then
Speaker 1: you can run around and swing up the rims and
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. Take off your shirt. Look, you
Speaker 1: got a big k on your belly.
Speaker 2: That's great. Just give us ninety seconds.
Speaker 1: What if you said the fine is a half a
Speaker 1: million dollars, this.
Speaker 2: Is what we'll do.
Speaker 1: We'll take don't storm the court. We'll take fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: We'll buy nine hundred kegs and eight thousand chicken wings.
Speaker 1: That is a good idea. Got mailbag coming up in
Speaker 1: a moment or two, a really good freedom loving quote
Speaker 1: of the day, and a great deal of news issues
Speaker 1: to report on for you, So hope you can stay here.
Speaker 1: We're getting lots of theories on what happened at Gene
Speaker 1: Hackman's home. Maybe we'll go through some of those texts
Speaker 1: in an hour two. We already laid out our.
Speaker 2: Thoughts.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a mystery. Also in real news,
Speaker 1: the whole Iran getting a bomb thing. I know, I
Speaker 1: have been talking about this for years, but it looks
Speaker 1: like it's really coming to a head. Something's either gonna
Speaker 1: happen or they're going to have a bomb, like really soon.
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, a pivotal point in history
Speaker 1: is reached and goes which way.
Speaker 2: Nobody's quite sure. Yeah, yeah, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: It's funny how we can get caught up in what's
Speaker 1: happening within the country, and some of that's very important
Speaker 1: and really cool, and all of a sudden, the rest
Speaker 1: of the world reminds us that they're out there and
Speaker 1: pursuing their own goals, often to.
Speaker 2: The detriment of ours.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's your freedom loving quota today, continuing on the
Speaker 1: series from George Washington, I had picked out one the
Speaker 1: basis of our political system is the right of the
Speaker 1: people to make an alter institutions of government. There's a plain,
Speaker 1: straightforward statement effect, but came across this one and it rhymes.
Speaker 1: It reminds me so much of what we were just
Speaker 1: saying about Donald Trump earlier in the hour. Even a
Speaker 1: slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions,
Speaker 1: not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what was it?
Speaker 1: Was it? Martin Luther King Juniors said what hurt the
Speaker 1: most wasn't the words of my enemies, but the silence
Speaker 1: of my friends.
Speaker 2: Oh that effect, that's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And actions, yeah, and true for parents and kids and
Speaker 1: all kinds of things in the world. It's what I
Speaker 1: actually do as opposed to what you say. Indeed, Mailbag
Speaker 1: trumble snow at anytime, mail bag at Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what I forgot? Hansen?
Speaker 1: Can you come up with the haikup music? Is that
Speaker 1: going to be a huge pain in the butt?
Speaker 2: All right? The beautiful ancient Japanese are of the haiku? Jack,
Speaker 2: I know what a fan you are. The five Sylla,
Speaker 2: the seven, the five.
Speaker 1: It's very limitations that sets the artist free with the hikup?
Speaker 2: So dumb? How'd they ever end up with such a
Speaker 2: powerful economy with this? As art.
Speaker 1: From Chris Girl Chris, she writes, which is helpful, because
Speaker 1: unless you're a biologist, you don't know if a woman
Speaker 1: is a woman or not.
Speaker 2: Hell, you can be having sex with her at that
Speaker 2: moment and still not know if it's a woman unless
Speaker 2: you ask her. I'd prefer remember that anyway.
Speaker 1: Chris the Girl writes, Sleepless nights, drag on, clammy skin
Speaker 1: and bloated size.
Speaker 2: Jack's dreams drift away.
Speaker 1: That's a high coup for you, Jack, feel better soon,
Speaker 1: she writes, listeners since.
Speaker 2: Day one, Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Oh the beautiful haikup moving along. Wow, great note from
Speaker 1: Jacob here. I know it's low hanging fruit, but I
Speaker 1: wonder if Michael Moore, who said one of those legal
Speaker 1: grins that gets booted out could cure cancer or deflect
Speaker 1: metior that was gonna kill the earth.
Speaker 2: Jacob writes, I wonder if Michael Moore is worried about
Speaker 2: one of.
Speaker 1: The tens of millions of unborn babies that have been aborted. Oh,
Speaker 1: they might have cured cancer. Shot meteors out of the sky.
Speaker 1: The obvious retort.
Speaker 2: So good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not well said for me to think of it
Speaker 1: at the time, but yeah, obviously. And then his ps
Speaker 1: has to do with your son's science project feeding one
Speaker 1: plant water and the other Coca cola.
Speaker 2: He says he's seen it done, and put your money
Speaker 2: on water.
Speaker 1: Another great insight from Steve and Everett Washington. You guys
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday Islam comprises this is about two billion people.
Speaker 1: For perspective, imagine the population in North America, South America,
Speaker 1: and Central America combined. Then double that and you have
Speaker 1: the Islamic population. Israel is essentially the state of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: It is not a heavy lift to ask the Islamic
Speaker 1: world to take in refugees from God. The population of
Speaker 1: Gaza is essentially that of Houston, Texas. If my math
Speaker 1: is correct, each Islamic community of a thousand people needs
Speaker 1: to take in only one refugee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that's roughly right. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I read a great think piece ad take too long
Speaker 1: to find it, but they pointed out that among the
Speaker 1: Arab world, including some of the more cooperative folks, there
Speaker 1: are two pieces two pieces of information you need to know.
Speaker 1: They're constantly claiming that Gaza is a prison colony. They're
Speaker 1: being the Israelis are cruel, Israelis are keeping them there.
Speaker 2: Simultaneously, they're saying, don't send them our away.
Speaker 1: No, no, Israel, let them out, but just make sure
Speaker 1: they don't come in our direction. Well, I saw Prime
Speaker 1: Minister Stormer on Fox yesterday and his response was, it
Speaker 1: all begins and ends with the two state solution.
Speaker 2: That's what we need to get back to.
Speaker 1: And like, oh please, spoken like a true weeni liberal
Speaker 1: limey weenie sorry party shimany what.
Speaker 2: Trash that is? Even now?
Speaker 1: Lacy and beautiful Santa Barbara writes, Guys, why isn't Jeff
Speaker 1: Bezos sending three qualified women astronauts into space? Sending these
Speaker 1: three celebs is almost insulting to all the women who've
Speaker 1: heeded the siren song and took the stem.
Speaker 2: Root in school.
Speaker 1: Hey, girls, sorry, but we have to make room for
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders and other popular girls. You just wait in
Speaker 1: the back of the room. Good grief, that's pretty good. Sorry,
Speaker 1: you weren't hot enough. I appreciate you studied science, but
Speaker 1: you should have been hotter well, or, in the case
Speaker 1: of at least two of the three, if you had
Speaker 1: bigger boobs, you could go on the space ship.
Speaker 2: But you don't, do you, So back to the lab.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: From Michael from Seattle, how about this guys teaching K
Speaker 1: through one students to protest at Lowell Elementary Elementary School.
Speaker 1: Here's a notice apparent received writing to let you know
Speaker 1: this week is Black Lives Matter Week at Lowell. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: We'll be having K one protest wherein the students will
Speaker 1: make signs to a few loops around the field and
Speaker 1: chant protest slogans. To teach the subject, we must emphasize
Speaker 1: black joy in the struggle. Black people have experienced. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah.
Speaker 2: Kindergarteners and first graders, you gotta pull your kids out
Speaker 2: of those schools.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know he's your right wing conspiracy theory that
Speaker 1: they're indoctrinating your children.
Speaker 2: Sure place, God, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I know, it's sick, it's we need to fight it.
Speaker 1: So there's just so dang much news going on today.
Speaker 1: Zelenski's coming to town, gonna meet with Trump, and there
Speaker 1: could be some history making stuff going on there. Armstrong
