Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jettie
Speaker 1: and he arms yet from the studio CE season your
Speaker 1: a dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of
Speaker 1: the Armstrong Ngetti Communications Compound. And today today, y'all, on
Speaker 1: Little Friday, we are toiling under the title of the show.
Speaker 1: If your election lasts more than four years, seek medical attention.
Speaker 1: That's a good one, thank you. Or if you prefer,
Speaker 1: Spain is about to get a little messy.
Speaker 2: Oh you're really uncool, but so yeller that you bound
Speaker 2: out of today. You come in with the A plus material. Yes,
Speaker 2: how about that pass for me?
Speaker 1: See on the second goal, the touch is stunning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with supposedly his opposite foot. To kick that far that
Speaker 1: fast and put it with that placement and running down
Speaker 1: the field, it's just amazing. It reminds me of a
Speaker 1: when an NBA player like drives hard into the lane
Speaker 1: and then throws up that little tear drop shot. It's
Speaker 1: it's speed and force then finis and there are a
Speaker 1: few that can do it like that. That was something else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we got final of Argentina Spain. Is that right, Yes,
Speaker 1: that is correct. I'll be rooting hard for the Argentine side.
Speaker 1: Jack Javire Melai's boys embracing the free market as Britain crumbles.
Speaker 1: I mean it was there was no symbol there that
Speaker 1: that Britain ruled. They ruled for a long time, and
Speaker 1: but their weakness, their ultra, their lack of imagination, their
Speaker 1: lack of dynamic play slash economy, dragged them down in
Speaker 1: the end. It was a perfect metaphor. Yeah, kind of
Speaker 1: a passive let's just hope things turn out. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: sort of added ude. Yet they went into a socialist
Speaker 1: game plan. They did nothing dynamic. They just kind of
Speaker 1: took this. It just took their benefits and tried not
Speaker 1: to give up a goal. I like that eat them
Speaker 1: in the announcer. They're just taking their benefits, retiring early
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. They're dependent. That's just terrible, expecting their health
Speaker 1: care to be paid for by the taxpayer. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I was just reading some statistics about British healthcare. There's
Speaker 1: something like forty percent of Brits are now doing their
Speaker 1: own dentistry because the cant They're pulling their own teeth.
Speaker 1: Forty of Brits and pulling their own Wait a minute, now,
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, per se, but I won't. I
Speaker 1: won't get those. I can't even remember what I've got
Speaker 1: them somewhere. But oh my god, Oh it's shocking. Anybody
Speaker 1: who wants universal healthcare Medicare for all, for instance, look
Speaker 1: into what it looks like everywhere that tries it. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying our system is good right now. Our system
Speaker 1: is bizarre and broken right now. Reference to Jack's great
Speaker 1: conversation with Greig Gotwaals while I was on vacation. But
Speaker 1: the idea that do a need to move to a
Speaker 1: British style system, You're an idiot. Yeah, So Trump's addressing
Speaker 1: the nation to night, correct, that is correct. Yes, if
Speaker 1: your election lasts more than four years, seek medical attention.
Speaker 1: And that's all about the twenty twenty election that he
Speaker 1: says he's got new evidence that it was stolen or
Speaker 1: any interference from other countries or something. Yeah. The preview
Speaker 1: from the White House is essentially securing elections, how to
Speaker 1: have good, secure elections going forward. And I think some
Speaker 1: will have echoes of twenty twenty. Some actually is going
Speaker 1: to be about, you know, foreign intelligent services efforts to
Speaker 1: screw with us. Yeah. See Martin Mark Awprin's newsletter today
Speaker 1: said you cannot underestimate how angry other Republicans are that
Speaker 1: the President is digging this back up for a primetime
Speaker 1: national address. Oh boy, oh boy, I'll bet that's true.
Speaker 1: Really well, of all the things, especially where the war's going.
Speaker 1: Got something on that in a second, especially with where
Speaker 1: the war's going and everything else gonna get back into
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. Really, that is really quite astounding.
Speaker 1: Here's the most interesting thing I've read today, Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal with a piece that basically says, the Pentagon is
Speaker 1: telling the White House for us to open the Strait
Speaker 1: of Hormuz would be very very difficult and very very costly.
Speaker 1: You're talking about a major ground operation with many losses
Speaker 1: if you want to actually open the straight so ships
Speaker 1: would feel comfortable enough to sail through there. Right. That's
Speaker 1: that's the most stark presentation of that that i've heard reported.
Speaker 1: It absolutely squares with everything I've heard and everything I know.
Speaker 1: But if that's if that's what they've been telling him
Speaker 1: all along, oh my god, all this talk about the
Speaker 1: strait is open or will open the strait or whatever.
Speaker 1: I think he's really been firing off his mouth without
Speaker 1: there's since he's not even willing to go the length
Speaker 1: he's talking about with the bombing, and maybe for good reason,
Speaker 1: maybe you agree with that. But since he's not really
Speaker 1: even willing to follow through with the like really really
Speaker 1: heavy bombing, there's no way he's interested in a major
Speaker 1: ground operation with heavy losses. We got to talk to
Speaker 1: Mike Lyons. Let's let's see if we can. We should
Speaker 1: based on the information. Yeah, yeah, I'm willing to put
Speaker 1: aside the merits of any of this for the purpose
Speaker 1: of this discussion. I think we have to. It's unquestionable.
Speaker 1: You can't completely suppress a regime, and it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's various proxies. Their ability to shoot a missile at
Speaker 1: a ship. It's too easy, it's too cheap. It's like
Speaker 1: me going to the store and buying a new driver.
Speaker 1: You can't eliminate that. You've got to eliminate their will
Speaker 1: to use those weapons through total defeat or negotiation, neither
Speaker 1: of which is seem has come about or come even close.
Speaker 1: Somebody tell me this is wrong. Trump has gotten himself
Speaker 1: into a situation he has no idea how to get
Speaker 1: out of. Is he aware of that? I think he is.
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason you're hearing all this ridiculous
Speaker 1: bluster from him. He doesn't know what else to do,
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't know what to tell him to do,
Speaker 1: honestly at this point. The summary of the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal piece about it today is the Pentagon has long
Speaker 1: told the White House that's securing the Strait to safely
Speaker 1: escort ships through tune is uh, somewhere between extremely dangerous
Speaker 1: and totally impossible. Wow, that's a problem. That's uh, that's rough.
Speaker 1: I had I had been talking about this under the
Speaker 1: assumption that it's it's doable. It'd be costly, but doable.
Speaker 1: Sounds like it's costly is understating it, and barely doable
Speaker 1: because it would take it take It would take so
Speaker 1: little to disrupt shipping that you really would when that's
Speaker 1: what the article says, You'd basically have to occupy that
Speaker 1: half of Iran to be able to stop, you know,
Speaker 1: any rogue person from firing a single rocket, because if
Speaker 1: any rockets in any day, if you got one rocket
Speaker 1: into the straight of day, ships ain't gonna go through
Speaker 1: right right, all right, here's the new Iranian playbook. It
Speaker 1: just unfolded in my mind. So the US grabs them
Speaker 1: by the cards, uh, grabs like carg Island, their their
Speaker 1: oil refining capacity. That that's a choke hold. Okay off
Speaker 1: and they say, we give, we give, we've had enough. Uncle,
Speaker 1: let us up and and and they suppressed the attacks
Speaker 1: on the straight for a little bit, wait until the
Speaker 1: heat is off. Then the attacks continue and they say,
Speaker 1: golly gee, these are rogue elements and we could really
Speaker 1: really really go after them if you want, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna cost you. It's gonna cost you this, this and this,
Speaker 1: and they will get the concessions they want. They will
Speaker 1: get the nuclear dogs pulled back. Maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: I've I've said several times the straight Orfward moves is
Speaker 1: the new nuclear weapon. That's what they want control of.
Speaker 1: That's their the toe against anybody messing with them. And
Speaker 1: then the minute they need it, they will start shooting
Speaker 1: at chips again and say, gosh, dang it. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: we'll go We'll please them even harder if you want,
Speaker 1: but we want this. I'm glad you brought up to
Speaker 1: the rest of our lives by the way, enjoy because
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if Mike Leons will say that's
Speaker 1: absolutely true or say that's that's not true. Somebody is
Speaker 1: spinning it that way because of who knows what. Because
Speaker 1: if it is true that it's somewhere between extremely difficult
Speaker 1: and impossible, it changes my entire view of this whole thing.
Speaker 1: That what I've been assuming all along. I thought it
Speaker 1: was doable and costly, as opposed to barely doable and
Speaker 1: the sort of cost that there's not a chance we're
Speaker 1: willing to put up with. Well, that's second part I believe.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's undoable. Well, of course it's doable.
Speaker 1: We'd have to take over the country like a rack style, right.
Speaker 1: That ain't gonna happen, right, So yeah, if you put
Speaker 1: any reasonable parameters around it, yeah, it's it's it's undoable,
Speaker 1: close to undoable, given the American will for that sort
Speaker 1: of fight, particularly over what we're talking about. I mean,
Speaker 1: if China had invaded California, well America might say you
Speaker 1: canna have it, But I don't know. It's just so implausible.
Speaker 1: But if you know, if China tried to invade the
Speaker 1: West Coast or something like that, we as a country
Speaker 1: would go crazy and we would summon up the great
Speaker 1: American will that's won many wars and struggles through the centuries.
Speaker 1: But for this right, we're gotter start the show officially.
Speaker 1: Have more thoughts on that, and there's more information on that,
Speaker 1: But that's a man, that's a heck of a situation
Speaker 1: we're in now and then, So with all that in
Speaker 1: the background, tonight's speech is going to be about the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, July sixteenth, the year twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 1: Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and riggs,
Speaker 1: here we go at Mark. That series sets Matsy driving again.
Speaker 1: Stop time, God, Entina, it just can you do it
Speaker 1: one more time? For some reason, as a Chiefs fan,
Speaker 1: it reminds me of that season where the Chiefs had
Speaker 1: went wod They go sixteen and one, fell behind every
Speaker 1: game and pulled a rabbit out of a hat every
Speaker 1: single game, but didn't in the Super Bowl. Is Argentina
Speaker 1: gonna be the same thing? Because can you pull a
Speaker 1: rabbit out of the hat. Every single time you fall behind,
Speaker 1: you have to come from behind with magic goals and
Speaker 1: then do it one more time for the championship. In
Speaker 1: the knockout round, Argentina has scored nine of eleven goals
Speaker 1: after the seventy fifth minute of play. That's amazing. Seventy
Speaker 1: five ninety plus a few extra minutes. But yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: That is incredible. Wow, it's fun to watch them. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot to get to. We got some more headlines.
Speaker 1: I want to I really want to address this whole
Speaker 1: issue of the twenty twenty election. And because I did
Speaker 1: it on Twitter a little bit, got a lot of
Speaker 1: pushback from a lot of you who can't believe, we believe.
Speaker 1: I'll talk with me with a single person identifier. You
Speaker 1: can't believe that I believe that Trump actually lost. You
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm so stupid to believe that Trump actually
Speaker 1: lost the twenty twenty election. I want to revisit the
Speaker 1: facts around their challenges in the courts and how it went.
Speaker 1: And if you've got pushback on that, fine, but I
Speaker 1: can't imagine what it would be because he's going to
Speaker 1: reliigate twenty twenty well, I don't want to Trump is
Speaker 1: he's speaking to the nation about it tonight? Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, man seem to talk about soccer more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we got a lot on the way to
Speaker 1: stay here. So Trump is speaking from the East Room tonight,
Speaker 1: nine Eastern, six Pacific. That's the big ceremonial room room
Speaker 1: usually used for nationally televised presidential speeches. You know the
Speaker 1: look you can walking down the hall and he got
Speaker 1: the flags behind you, So I mean it's he's treating
Speaker 1: it like a big address. All the cable news channels
Speaker 1: are expected to take it live. It's not known at
Speaker 1: this moment whether ABC, CBS, NBC will take it live.
Speaker 1: They've not confirmed it. You know, they don't have to.
Speaker 1: The The White House generally asks for airtime, and the
Speaker 1: networks generally give it because it's the President United Strates
Speaker 1: addressing the nation. Since the topic is the twenty twenty election.
Speaker 1: I don't I've since the networks hate him, I would
Speaker 1: think they'd want to take it just because it's kind
Speaker 1: of ridiculous that this is what the topic is, as
Speaker 1: opposed to ignore it. Although I guess their ultimate goal
Speaker 1: is to make money and maybe they lose money by
Speaker 1: not running their primetime shows. Right, yeah, definitely, So I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Have you have you heard what the decision is from
Speaker 1: most of them? No, they haven't announced that yet. The
Speaker 1: table news channels will take it live, of course, because
Speaker 1: they take you know, a guy who saw an alligator
Speaker 1: walk across the road in South Florida. Look, I got
Speaker 1: a video of it. Sure, but yeah, it's not known
Speaker 1: yet whether the major networks will take it live. Right,
Speaker 1: And so the guy who wants to be the new DNI,
Speaker 1: remember Telsea Gabbert is out of the head of the
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies, the new guy in there. He was getting
Speaker 1: grilled yesterday for his confirmation hearing and they ask him
Speaker 1: endlessly who won the election, and he would not answer
Speaker 1: that question. So you know, you said, you're gonna bring
Speaker 1: this back up again. Well, I don't know. The president's
Speaker 1: speaking about it in prime time tonight and his new
Speaker 1: DNI director wouldn't answer the question, and his confirmation hearing yesterday. Right,
Speaker 1: we can get into this a little bit more later.
Speaker 1: But there's a new poll out and Trump's haunted instincts
Speaker 1: they're not serving him well. His support among Republicans is
Speaker 1: eroding pretty seriously. Among independents, that's kind of cratered. Democrats
Speaker 1: are going to be Democrats. That's fine, But yeah, things
Speaker 1: things are not going great. It's it's a it's a
Speaker 1: rough patch for the White House right now. And will
Speaker 1: tonight help or hurt? Who knows, We'll see, I guess. So. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had a couple of big hearings on the Hill
Speaker 1: that Washington's obsessed with Todd blanche for Attorney General and
Speaker 1: Jay Clayton for National Intelligence useless office. Probably that's who
Speaker 1: I was. You had the back and forth, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you had the back and forth on Ice traffic stops.
Speaker 1: We haven't really talked about this much because not because
Speaker 1: of any particular loyalty you're having one side or the other.
Speaker 1: It's just that it's so hard to get the fact.
Speaker 1: You get a spin version from the administration, honestly, and
Speaker 1: a couple of them have not panned out or even
Speaker 1: close and are our good close friend Mark Wayne Mullen
Speaker 1: said he was going to straighten all that out. And
Speaker 1: then you've got the inevitable activist story that you know,
Speaker 1: Ice just busted into the house and shot people as
Speaker 1: they were eating dinner, and that always turns out to
Speaker 1: be completely fictional too. But the main shooting of that
Speaker 1: young man who is here illegally lawfully or a primary
Speaker 1: Maine with an E? Did I not pronounce the e
Speaker 1: loudly enough? Maine? Anyway? Yeah, the state of Man. Did
Speaker 1: you not hear my capital m The story from Maine
Speaker 1: where the fellow from Columbia who was here lawfully and
Speaker 1: working and had a little kid and all, and there
Speaker 1: was a car chase of some sort and the the
Speaker 1: ice guy said, I feared for public safety is why
Speaker 1: I shot him. This doesn't mean it's not legit. But
Speaker 1: that's not great. No, No, it's not.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Royal waters for the Union right now, Jack and
Speaker 1: the Democrats are holding up the defense appropriation that's always
Speaker 1: been by Partisans to protest Iran. But it's leaving our
Speaker 1: troops underpaid and undefended, and it's just terrible. And these
Speaker 1: are ugly times and I hate it. Royal waters. You say,
Speaker 1: royal waters. We need a bridge over these royal waters. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got to get a little deeper on some of
Speaker 1: these stories and some stuff you haven't heard about yet.
Speaker 1: That's a lot more fun, Strong and getty. Some more
Speaker 1: political news.
Speaker 3: Former President Joe Biden just announced that he's written a
Speaker 3: book about his presidency that's coming out in November.
Speaker 1: Yep. The book was written by a ghostwriter, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: It's the second book Biden has written.
Speaker 1: The first was The Odyssey.
Speaker 3: The book is about what Biden remembers from his presidency.
Speaker 1: So it's three pages.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a strange book because towards the end
Speaker 3: it starts being written by Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Wow, those are pretty good jokes. But you know what's
Speaker 1: interesting about that? If that's the mainstream doesn't get into
Speaker 1: politics jokes the day the book is announced, what's it
Speaker 1: gonna be like once it's been around for a while
Speaker 1: and Joe's out there doing interviews and embarrassing himself again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. It's just it's a ship of fools. It's
Speaker 1: heading straight into disaster. There's just no way this can
Speaker 1: go well. Reminds me of the Kamala book launch. Everybody
Speaker 1: was snickering and laughing out loud before anybody'd read a page. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can believe that she wrote a book and
Speaker 1: she's as sharp as she ever was, to whatever extent
Speaker 1: that is for them. But Joe Biden, there's no way,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wrote a book, and he's two years further
Speaker 1: down the line. He's gonna do a book tour and
Speaker 1: do interviews, they said in November, two years further down
Speaker 1: the line than he was the last time you heard
Speaker 1: him do lots of interviews. Where's it three years by
Speaker 1: the time he gets around to it. We still have
Speaker 1: the audio we played yesterday from the Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, we should play that again. This is their
Speaker 1: actual they put this out. Joe Biden's people put this
Speaker 1: out as a promo piece and if this is the
Speaker 1: best you could do with him and a studio and
Speaker 1: multiple takes.
Speaker 4: It's about the challenge we faced as a nation, about
Speaker 4: the decisions I made, why I made them, leading the
Speaker 4: country through COVID, we're building our economy and they're restoring
Speaker 4: our democracy after the attack on January sixth, any in
Speaker 4: our nation's longest war in Afganestania, and supporting Ukraine. That's
Speaker 4: about why I chose to run for election and why
Speaker 4: I chose to step aside.
Speaker 1: Now that part we know, We figured that out in
Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds. Yeah wow, wow, wow wow. I
Speaker 1: think it's driven by one thing that broke the Biden
Speaker 1: family is broken, and this is their last ditch effort
Speaker 1: until Hunter decides to be a sculptor. This is their
Speaker 1: last ditch effort to make any money. Doctor Jill's gonna
Speaker 1: have to go back to working in the er. You
Speaker 1: love that joke, and you know that the road is
Speaker 1: over soon for that, so you've got to take advantage
Speaker 1: of it. I know it's such a good road. I've
Speaker 1: enjoyed it so much. Not a real doctor. So you
Speaker 1: want to run for president? Do you? Gavin Newsom has
Speaker 1: got a problem. Here's a fun name to say, Ruby Rippy, giveney.
Speaker 1: Just say it with me, Ruby Rippy. Give me Ruby Rippy,
Speaker 1: Give me Ruby. It's fun. Anyway. She was the wife
Speaker 1: of Gavin's best friend back in the day, who Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom had an affair with. And she's got a big
Speaker 1: piece coming out in Vanity Fair, where apparently she is
Speaker 1: going to tell her the whole story and all kinds
Speaker 1: of ugly details and redig up that embarrassing chapter of
Speaker 1: his life, which I would imagine is maybe, quite possibly,
Speaker 1: almost certainly the most embarrassing chapter of his entire life.
Speaker 1: It erupted back in two thousand and seven when he
Speaker 1: was mayor of San Francisco. It came out that he
Speaker 1: was having an affair with her. She was involved in
Speaker 1: his in city hall with something or other. He was
Speaker 1: Gavin's campaign manager and longtime friend. The husband and Gavin
Speaker 1: was having an affair with his wife, and Gavin said
Speaker 1: at the time that it was a horrible personal lapse
Speaker 1: of judgment, and he said, I want to make it
Speaker 1: clear that everything you've heard about and read is true,
Speaker 1: and I'm deeply sorry about that. That's the sort of
Speaker 1: thing you say when you're mayor of San Francisco. That
Speaker 1: is not the sort of thing you say when you're
Speaker 1: running for president. Probably. I mean, when's the last time
Speaker 1: you heard anybody say that. Yeah, I've heard all the rumors.
Speaker 1: They're true. I did all those things. It is horrible.
Speaker 1: I think that's smart. Well, people don't do it when
Speaker 1: they running for president.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, It depends what the content is though. If she says, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're both having troubles with our spouses and he's really
Speaker 1: suave and we got together and I'm ashamed of it,
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Okay, nobody's gonna care. We're all human,
Speaker 1: we all short. Because con Man So the California Post
Speaker 1: presented it as it's going to be a damning piece
Speaker 1: that rejredges up an embarrassing instant incident. But they said
Speaker 1: they don't know anything about the article on what she says.
Speaker 1: So you're saying it's possibly a helps Gavin out, what's
Speaker 1: it the old saying, Oh, hangs a lantern on it,
Speaker 1: Hang a lantern on it, Hang a lantern on one
Speaker 1: of his biggest personal crisises of his life. Early, get
Speaker 1: the actual participantion participant out there saying, my husband and
Speaker 1: I were barely of marriage at that point. It's a
Speaker 1: catch and kill. It's just like the New York Times
Speaker 1: with the Graham Platner, the rape, fake oysterman. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: didn't even think about that possibility. But I'll bet your eyes.
Speaker 1: I mean, Vanity Fair is not going to run a
Speaker 1: hit piece on Gavin Newsom. No, no, you wouldn't think so. Well.
Speaker 1: They have had some pretty good, fairly centrist articles of
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, I'm sorry, I was thinking of
Speaker 1: the Atlantic. No, Vanity Fair is shameless. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: this is a catch and kill. Okay, well, let's let's
Speaker 1: get this. Let's get this out. Early, I made let's
Speaker 1: publish this down before the primaries. Yeah, they're getting rid
Speaker 1: of it. I was talking to a I don't know
Speaker 1: his actual politics, but I assume because of where I
Speaker 1: live that he's a lefty. I could be wrong, but
Speaker 1: he thought he was really hoping Gavin Newsom runs for president,
Speaker 1: just so uh, all of this gets exposed and dooms
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. The crime, the drug addicts in the streets
Speaker 1: all over the place, the fraud, all that sort of
Speaker 1: stuff that maybe it wakes up California politics too, that
Speaker 1: we can't keep doing it this way. I mean, a
Speaker 1: guy tried to run for president on our state and
Speaker 1: just got humiliated when people started looking at the tents
Speaker 1: up and down the streets in Los Angeles and Sacramento
Speaker 1: and everywhere else. I have a featurette coming up later
Speaker 1: on in the show, just a review of how almost
Speaker 1: hilariously incompetent LA has been dealing with bombs and junkies.
Speaker 1: It's the numbers. They staggered the mind five years ago,
Speaker 1: and they have quintupled and more layer upon layer of redundant,
Speaker 1: useless programs. I mean, if you have an agency that's
Speaker 1: doing something well, doing something, and then you have another
Speaker 1: agency that's kind of doing the same thing, and you
Speaker 1: really could be more efficient. Okay, but these agencies aren't
Speaker 1: doing anything but spreading out money. Anyway, more on that
Speaker 1: to come stay with us. I think I almost got
Speaker 1: scammed yesterday. I'm not certain of it, but I got
Speaker 1: a text and I thought, oh, dang, I better deal
Speaker 1: with that, and I almost clicked on. I thought, wait
Speaker 1: a second, I don't know that this is real. That
Speaker 1: happens all the time with you and I and everybody.
Speaker 1: Your personal information is valuable, and it's out there, and
Speaker 1: it's on databanks, and that's why you get these spams sometimes,
Speaker 1: scam emails, texts, and phone calls. And there is something
Speaker 1: you can do about it, thanks to Incogniti. Yeah. In
Speaker 1: Cogni contacts the hundreds of data brokers that are out
Speaker 1: there that have all your personal info and they demand,
Speaker 1: using the law, that they remove your info and they'll
Speaker 1: do it too, and it Cognate keeps going back to
Speaker 1: make sure your data stays removed, protecting you from the scammers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all that stuff is just sitting on those databases, hidden
Speaker 1: databases that you can't find. You don't even know existing.
Speaker 1: Cogny is busy removing our names in infomo from hundreds
Speaker 1: of them with the law on their side. Remember, they
Speaker 1: can't scam you if they can't find you. Take your
Speaker 1: personal data back within cogni I ncogna eyes how it's spelled.
Speaker 1: Get sixty percent off the regular price, which is quite
Speaker 1: modest when you use the code armstrong and in Cogniti
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong. That's sixty percent off when you
Speaker 1: use the coat use the code armstrong at in cognit
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong. That's in Cognit dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: Do you know who Constantine Kissen is. He's a podcaster
Speaker 1: and britt comedian. Smart, he's brilliant. Yeah. Anyway, he put
Speaker 1: this out about the soccer match yesterday, getting to what
Speaker 1: you were talking about earlier. The England football team lost
Speaker 1: for the same reason the country is losing. The people
Speaker 1: in charge fear taking a risk and try to hold
Speaker 1: on to what they have instead of being ambitious about
Speaker 1: the future. This attitude permeates everything and it needs to change.
Speaker 1: The soccer teams was a metaphor for the country. It
Speaker 1: was a perfect metaphor. In fact, when the thought occurred
Speaker 1: to me, I was like, Oh, that's too on the nose.
Speaker 1: If it was you know, if it was a novel,
Speaker 1: it'd be criticized for being too obvious. Yeah, Britain just
Speaker 1: gave up anything dynamic, anything creative, anything forward looking. They
Speaker 1: just kind of huddled into a socialist fetal position. It's terrible,
Speaker 1: just like the country crazy mm hm. I hope we
Speaker 1: don't go that direction. There's a lot of people trying
Speaker 1: to take us there. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And the
Speaker 1: scary part about it is it happens little by little,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to recognize a lack of dining, dynam
Speaker 1: being dynamic. Uh, it's it's kind of hard to recognize that.
Speaker 1: Just like in your everyday life for everyday regular voters,
Speaker 1: if you're not paying attention to you know GDP growth numbers,
Speaker 1: and you know where the countries are, where the companies
Speaker 1: are going that are innovative around the world. Are currently
Speaker 1: all the innovative companies in the world in the planet
Speaker 1: exist in the United States? Uh? For a reason. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk will tell you why. Uh what's his name over
Speaker 1: at Google will tell you why why that where they're
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing in the United States as opposed
Speaker 1: somewhere else. But I sure hope, but little by little
Speaker 1: we don't end up like a lot of these socialist
Speaker 1: countries where you just he can't get anything done, and
Speaker 1: yet nobody believes that you can really change things that
Speaker 1: don't even try, right, and then it poisons people on
Speaker 1: a personal level, which I think is the really, really
Speaker 1: sad part. Matthew Continetti wrote a great piece about how
Speaker 1: Democrats are falling for socialism again, and he makes a
Speaker 1: lot of good points, and I'd like to touch on
Speaker 1: the article in a little bit, but one fascinating thing
Speaker 1: he pointed out, and you know, people use the term
Speaker 1: capitalism all the time, even though that was Karl Marx's term,
Speaker 1: and you frequently hear me objecting and saying, let's say
Speaker 1: free market. And you might be thinking Joe's right, or
Speaker 1: you might think Joseph pedantic pain in the ass. I
Speaker 1: am a pedantic pain in the ass. But on this
Speaker 1: I am correct. Big Gallop poll, the public's positive image
Speaker 1: of capitalism has slipped to fifty four percent. Fifty four
Speaker 1: percent are in favor of capitalism, which is a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot more than socialism, except among young people,
Speaker 1: which is one of the shocking aspects of this article.
Speaker 1: So capitalism is fifty four percent, free enterprise eighty one
Speaker 1: percent approval. Okay, well that's something we all need to know.
Speaker 1: So people still like the idea of a free market.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, But for some reason, maybe because Carl
Speaker 1: Marx intentionally did this, capitalism has acquired this this awful
Speaker 1: and I think awful. Rep finish your sentence, Joe. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people just have this vague notion.
Speaker 1: I've heard that's bad. They told me that's bad in school,
Speaker 1: and I kind of heard it's bad. So, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't like capitalism. What about free enterprise and economic opportunity
Speaker 1: in the free market? Oh, those are great, says that
Speaker 1: same person. So the low information voter, what's one to do?
Speaker 1: Keep informing? I guess yeah. Oh, I got a question
Speaker 1: about the world of talk radio. There's a topic that
Speaker 1: the world of talk radio never addresses. Uh oh, that
Speaker 1: the world of television always addresses. I'll bring that up
Speaker 1: right before mail back next. Stay here, here's my question
Speaker 1: about national TV versus national radio. You tune into the
Speaker 1: evening TV newscast and the first half of it will
Speaker 1: be national weather before they get too important stories. National
Speaker 1: radio never does that. I never listen to my favorite
Speaker 1: national radio shows and they talk about the weather at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so what's the breakdown on that? Exciting visuals? It's gotta
Speaker 1: be colorful maps, reporters standing in hurricanes, floodwaters up to
Speaker 1: the knee. That solidifies my belief that there's no there
Speaker 1: there right. Oh no, there's absolutely not. I mean it's
Speaker 1: mildly interesting, I guess for a few minutes, but compared
Speaker 1: to whether we're at war or not. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: it's uranium for three thousand miles from where you live.
Speaker 1: Give the people what they want, and the people want crap.
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing our
Speaker 1: series about the nation of Iran, John Bolton said this,
Speaker 1: if Iran obtains nuclear weapons, then almost certainly Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: will do the same, as will Egypt, Turkey and perhaps
Speaker 1: others in the region. I don't know if they'd have time.
Speaker 1: Iran might just use it as soon as soon as
Speaker 1: they get it. Yeah, but I mean, if they only
Speaker 1: have one, or do you think they'll be able to
Speaker 1: like mass produce a bunch of them. I don't even
Speaker 1: know I need more than one. Their goal is to
Speaker 1: wipe Israel off the planet. Uh yeah, Israel's tiny, right,
Speaker 1: but Israel has nukes, so they would you know respond,
Speaker 1: We're talking Jep Turkey, Saudi Arabia flying with dying. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: Wild mail Bag drops a no mail bag and Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty dot Com Mike Rights. Guys, your segment on
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's book was great. This was yesterday. We just
Speaker 1: did another one. Since I commute and catch your show
Speaker 1: on podcast form, blah blah blah. Oh, I listen to
Speaker 1: a lot of audio books. I wondered if there will
Speaker 1: be an audible version of his book, preferably narrated by himself. Wow. Oh,
Speaker 1: that'd be tough, and you'd have to rewind a lot
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan, right, let's see. Just wanted to point out
Speaker 1: that Jack is not supposed to go see The Odyssey
Speaker 1: if he is pro ice, since John Leguizamo is in
Speaker 1: it and he has stated he doesn't want pro ice
Speaker 1: people watching these movies. What you'll have to trade in
Speaker 1: your tickets for minions and monsters or maybe the end
Speaker 1: of Oak Street, unless, of course, you really are anti ice,
Speaker 1: in which case carry on, or I don't pay attention
Speaker 1: to any of these controversies in these movies. Yeah, an actor,
Speaker 1: can you imagine that saying I don't want anybody who's
Speaker 1: pro ice coming to any of my movies. People are
Speaker 1: like children, all right, moving along. Wayne in Beautiful tiggered Oregon.
Speaker 1: Once again, the idea of going to a year round
Speaker 1: daylight saving time is being pushed. One of you said,
Speaker 1: why don't we just try it for a while and
Speaker 1: see how we like it. Jack, you said, some facts
Speaker 1: of dead bodies, just like they heaven Arizona every six months.
Speaker 1: He points out, we've tried it at least twice, and
Speaker 1: it was hated by the vast majorities. During World War two,
Speaker 1: not World War eleven AOSA, the country went on daylight
Speaker 1: saving time for four years. My parents lived through it
Speaker 1: and hated it, so did most of the country. So
Speaker 1: at the end of the war we went back to
Speaker 1: the old system. Then in the winter of seventy three
Speaker 1: seventy four there was an Arab oil embargo. I remember this.
Speaker 1: The government decided again we should go a year around DST.
Speaker 1: I was in college and hated it, so did everyone
Speaker 1: I knew. Had to go to morning classes in the dark,
Speaker 1: then come home in the dark after the crisis, the
Speaker 1: country went back to the old system. I was alive,
Speaker 1: but I have no memory of not changing the clocks
Speaker 1: there for a couple of years. Yeah, I thought that wash.
Speaker 1: Was that a Carter idea? It would have been Jerry
Speaker 1: Ford at seventy three, seventy four, I guess. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened even with the seventies, though lifestyles are so
Speaker 1: much different now than they were fifty years ago. I say,
Speaker 1: we tried it, true, true, And then finally Wayne points
Speaker 1: out Arizona and Hawaii actually stay on standard time all year.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, this, no doubt, this dumb idea
Speaker 1: will become reality, because, like the old saying goes, those
Speaker 1: who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat. Nah.
Speaker 1: I'm all for trying it. Daylight saving time or standard time,
Speaker 1: I don't know which. I have no idea, all right,
Speaker 1: I want of information, changing the clocks, That's what I
Speaker 1: want to go. There you go. Let's see how about
Speaker 1: this from Richard? When looking at the Iran conflict, where
Speaker 1: America is clearly superior militarily, I am reminded of the
Speaker 1: War of Independence, where England had a superior army it
Speaker 1: lost to the guerrilla style warfare of the colonials. It
Speaker 1: was a bloody war, and soboul to ground. So would
Speaker 1: a ground war in Iraq because they don't fight like
Speaker 1: we are used to. The citizenry believe promised who wow,
Speaker 1: there are words missing in this, their promised rewards in
Speaker 1: the afterlife if they kill the enemy. And I have
Speaker 1: a feeling this is voice dictated are the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal and others with a couple of articles lately that
Speaker 1: there's been a surge in patriotism and nationalism in Iran,
Speaker 1: including people who used to be sympathetic to the resistance.
Speaker 1: That's what happened in the attack a country. That's what
Speaker 1: happened with the British and the soccer match yesterday. The
Speaker 1: Argentines kept jumping out from behind trees while the British
Speaker 1: team was marching in straight lines, and they just went
Speaker 1: around them with the ball and scored goals. Well, I
Speaker 1: should have paid more attention, let's see. And then Jim
Speaker 1: sent along an article from a moderate Democrat saying the
Speaker 1: three things the Democrats really need to do to win elections,
Speaker 1: And this is my favorite part. The odds of this
Speaker 1: suggestion getting adopted are the same as Blue Blue, Do Blue.
Speaker 1: Tarski's grade point average at Favor College zero point zero.
Speaker 1: It's far more likely that the author will receive death
Speaker 1: threats and be forced to publicly to publicly apologize and
Speaker 1: disavow his article, or face retribution from the DSA's Red Guards.
Speaker 1: You're right, sir, you're right. That's from the great movie
Speaker 1: Animal House. Yes, his great point average was zero point zero.
Speaker 1: That's not good, fat, drunk and stupid. There's no way
Speaker 1: to go through life, son. That's that's true. That's a
Speaker 1: true fact. We got a lot more on the way.
