Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and and He Armstrong and.
Speaker 1: Live. That's a bad start. Has anybody hurt?
Speaker 2: Live?
Speaker 1: Maybe I better take it down and Octavity live there
Speaker 1: we go. Oh, I like that. It's kind of a
Speaker 1: sexy approach.
Speaker 2: And I think he has tuberculosis sort of way right
Speaker 2: exactly live from a dimly lit room, deeply something about
Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications compound and
Speaker 2: a kick off a Monday, brand new week outside of
Speaker 2: you that.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh man, what's gonna happen this week? Today?
Speaker 2: We're under the tutelage of our general manager Rory McElroy.
Speaker 2: You're a Master's champion. That's a golf match. That is
Speaker 2: a golf tournament. We call them tournaments. Yes, indeed, it
Speaker 2: is the golf tournament. It is the pre eminent tournament.
Speaker 2: Is my super Bowl, as I often say.
Speaker 1: And that's where you were Friday?
Speaker 2: I was, indeed, Yeah, he abandoned the show during this
Speaker 2: tariff turmoil. Oh my god. Yeah, when I was needed
Speaker 2: the most, that's correct, Yes, yes, indeed.
Speaker 1: And it was an exciting victory.
Speaker 2: Jack, the plucky little Irishman, after eleven years the struggle,
Speaker 2: finally completed the career Grand Slam, winning all four majors.
Speaker 2: He tried to lose it as hard as he could,
Speaker 2: totally cow was chaotic.
Speaker 1: It was a rodeo ride.
Speaker 2: Here's the only thing I know about the Master's Golf tournament.
Speaker 2: As I saw a headliner and I clicked on it,
Speaker 2: a guy who four putted the other day and was
Speaker 2: doing really well too, and he four putted and that
Speaker 2: I had to watch that, just because, you know, as
Speaker 2: a man who's failed at so many things in his life,
Speaker 2: for some reason, I enjoy.
Speaker 1: Watching other people fail. Makes me feel better. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I was reading Jason Gay in the Wall Street Journal's
Speaker 2: account of mister McElroy's winning he and he pointed out
Speaker 2: that and this is the game of golf. He hit
Speaker 2: shots that nobody on the planet can hit. And he
Speaker 2: missed putts that you would yell at yourself if you
Speaker 2: missed them playing mini golf. It was just a humbling game.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so much.
Speaker 2: Going on, Oh y'all doing I think I just have allergies.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have a disease.
Speaker 1: Of any kin.
Speaker 2: Allergies are horrible where I live, but from what I understand,
Speaker 2: they're horrible across the country.
Speaker 1: Is is there some new plant out or something like that?
Speaker 2: My wife, who accompanied me to a beautiful Augusta National
Speaker 2: Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, was.
Speaker 1: Sneezing like me.
Speaker 2: Snidphrase should include afterwards, because we're better than you, I think?
Speaker 2: Or is that just? Is that just assumed when there
Speaker 2: should be bird chirps and theme music as well? When
Speaker 2: I say that Augusta National, I was at Augusta for
Speaker 2: the master's pause because I'm better than you. I wee jack,
Speaker 2: who are actually better than you?
Speaker 3: Know?
Speaker 2: To leave that unsaid? And if you were better than you,
Speaker 2: you would know that.
Speaker 1: There's the birds again.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So, oh my god, you're sneezing like a fiend,
Speaker 2: and there you are. You're like, you're twelve feet away
Speaker 2: from a guy desperately trying to sink a puttler to
Speaker 2: like save his career or fulfill his dreams. And if
Speaker 2: some lady goes, I mean right in the middle, that
Speaker 2: would be highly unfortunate.
Speaker 1: So, yes, you had a tissue pressed to her face.
Speaker 2: A great They're just sneezing like a fiend all across
Speaker 2: the country. But why are there more states with a
Speaker 2: higher level of bad allergies than normal?
Speaker 1: Don't please, don't say climate change, but Jack, the hends
Speaker 1: are as climate change, the warming planet. You have stolen
Speaker 1: my dreams. It made me sneeze.
Speaker 2: Is there just a new plant or something out that's
Speaker 2: just weird? My my windpipe is so tiny it feels
Speaker 2: like it's just squeezed tight, and that there's barely any
Speaker 2: air I can get it.
Speaker 1: Now, that's gracious, that's not good. No, it's not.
Speaker 2: My kids are the same way. It's just incredible. Anyway,
Speaker 2: that's Is.
Speaker 1: There a new plant?
Speaker 2: Do you suspect Chinese agents, possibly masquerading as a college students,
Speaker 2: have snuck into the country and like planted some new
Speaker 2: horrendous allergen plant.
Speaker 1: That'd be a clever attack.
Speaker 2: Oh, something that like in China or someplace that is
Speaker 2: a nonalogy and they're all used to it because it's
Speaker 2: been there for a thousands of years. But kind of
Speaker 2: like bringing smallpox to the Indians from Europe, you know
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Well, they did it with a freaking bat virus. Excellent point.
Speaker 2: So some sort of new daffodill on the scene. It
Speaker 2: would certainly not be beyond the evil of the Chinese.
Speaker 1: Did you see Zelensky on sixty minutes last night? Saw
Speaker 1: some of it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, I'm afraid he probably did his cause some
Speaker 2: harm on sixty minutes last night.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Trump was very angry at sixty minutes and put out
Speaker 2: a long blast about the last two weeks of sixty
Speaker 2: Minutes being so a biased in their news, which they
Speaker 2: have been like we've We've been talking about it the
Speaker 2: last couple of Mondays. It's been pretty over the top ridiculous.
Speaker 2: But he didn't mention any this stuff. Zelensky said, So
Speaker 2: I was happy as but you know, Zelensky basically said
Speaker 2: the idea that we started the wars insane. How could
Speaker 2: anybody think that I'm not going to go along with
Speaker 2: the rewriting of history.
Speaker 1: He basically said that JD.
Speaker 2: Vince is repeating Russian talking points to him in the
Speaker 2: Oval Office and also invited to Trump to come to
Speaker 2: Ukraine to see for himself what's going on. And they
Speaker 2: also featured some of the horrifying attacks for Marcia that
Speaker 2: have happened in like the last two weeks I mean
Speaker 2: just extra bad, including the attacking the school, which we
Speaker 2: talked about I think maybe on Friday, where they bombed
Speaker 2: the school and killed nine little kids, and just you know,
Speaker 2: when when Israel does that, even if they didn't actually
Speaker 2: do it, oftentimes the news story isn't even accurate that
Speaker 2: you know, a school or hospital has been attacked.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's worldwide condemnation.
Speaker 2: But Russia's attacking schools and hospitals regularly, and you know
Speaker 2: they Ukraine started it. Which is a crazy, crazy notion
Speaker 2: whose son is a monster, an absolute monster? And who
Speaker 2: is the hottest new get on the alt right or
Speaker 2: new right or woke rite whatever. Podcast scene Alexander Dugan,
Speaker 2: Who's the guy who was dubbed Putin's Brain. He's that
Speaker 2: far right wing extremist thinker dude who shaped Putin's thinking. Uh,
Speaker 2: he's He was Tucker's guest, and Tucker really was down
Speaker 2: with his thinking.
Speaker 1: Oh, Hanson's crazy.
Speaker 2: The clip I'd like from sixty Minutes just popped into
Speaker 2: my head was when Scott Pelly asked him about do
Speaker 2: you hate Vladimir Putin? And that was that was an
Speaker 2: interesting exchange, especially you know, I don't want to get
Speaker 2: off on the Trump Zelensky thing, so I won't. But
Speaker 2: I also heard driving in and I need to figure
Speaker 2: out who was some euro voice sounding person from some country.
Speaker 2: But anyway, saying Trump is mocking I mean, uh, Putin
Speaker 2: is mocking Trump and his ceasefire plan.
Speaker 1: And I hope that Trump picks up on that.
Speaker 2: He's being mocked for the idea that this is a
Speaker 2: ceasefire but going out of his way to attack schools
Speaker 2: and hospitals, and I mean with some of the most
Speaker 2: indiscriminate bombing civilians that have happened in the entire war.
Speaker 1: So certainly has that feel. Yeah, how do you let
Speaker 1: that happen?
Speaker 2: I mean, she's a dynamic that I haven't really thought about,
Speaker 2: but yeah, you're right. You would think Trump, for all
Speaker 2: of his pridefulness and tough guy you know persona, would not.
Speaker 1: Be having that, right. Yeah. So it's kind of busy
Speaker 1: on other fronts, I guess. Yeah, the whole tariff thing,
Speaker 1: which we suppose watch. I heard about that while I
Speaker 1: was at the golf tournament. That sounds crazy.
Speaker 2: Main highlight over the weekend was the It's funny because
Speaker 2: I just happened to see two headlines back to back
Speaker 2: Financial Times had a iPhones will cost thirty five hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: and then like two seconds later, ding New York Times
Speaker 2: headline was Trump says iPhones are exempt from tariffs and
Speaker 2: other smartphones and stuff like that. So the those kinds
Speaker 2: of products are exempt from the tariffs.
Speaker 1: Except they're not. No, Yeah, I don't know. Oh, very temporarily,
Speaker 1: very very very temporarily.
Speaker 2: According to one of the fellows making this delut neck
Speaker 2: or peasant, I don't know, somebody I.
Speaker 1: Don't know this update, Well, we'll have to get that
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Let's start to show officially before we get in trouble,
Speaker 2: and you know, I might die at any moment. So uh,
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Arby fist, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
Speaker 2: on this. It is Monday, April fourteenth, year, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: Oh one day short of tax day. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: All right, let's beak at officially then, according to FCC
Speaker 2: rules and regulations, so much to talk about.
Speaker 1: Let's do it at mark. Hi, I'm Katy Perry. Let's
Speaker 1: go to space. I'm looking up at that or opening clipped.
Speaker 1: I'm looking up. I'm looking up at CBS.
Speaker 2: They're going with making space history because Gail King's going
Speaker 2: into space, so and when is that happening?
Speaker 1: That's space history?
Speaker 2: Well, I guess she hasn't been in space prior to
Speaker 2: the present, so.
Speaker 1: What the heck?
Speaker 2: But I history making flight, I thought with all I
Speaker 2: was hearing about, this is the Jeff Bezos sending chicks
Speaker 2: to space thing that I'm pretty pretty sure his fiance
Speaker 2: made him do.
Speaker 1: It's Katy Perry. Why would I send Katy Perry to pace?
Speaker 1: SE's my favorite? Jeff? Right? Baby? All right, Katy Perry?
Speaker 1: Is that good? And send Gail King? Because I love
Speaker 1: the Today Show.
Speaker 2: CBS this morning doesn't make any difference. Nobody watches them.
Speaker 2: There was a new thing about their ratings the other
Speaker 2: day have fallen under two million people. Those shows get
Speaker 2: very very low ratings. I mean, that's it's it's only
Speaker 2: us old people, And this is a shot at us.
Speaker 2: It's us, like Joe and I and people in the industry.
Speaker 2: It's only us old people. And that's like anybody over
Speaker 2: forty five, really who don't pays attention to the Today
Speaker 2: Show sixty minutes any cable news show, and that stuff.
Speaker 1: That stuff has no relevance anymore.
Speaker 2: Well, I would be more than delighted to get with
Speaker 2: the hip youngsters and start ignoring them. They're stupid and terrible.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they just they anyway, So they might shoot
Speaker 2: Gail spring King into space.
Speaker 1: And liber there because the rating home.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you think it's a flop by the
Speaker 2: CBS management working with Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 1: I bet we hear about some sort of big merger
Speaker 1: or something this week. I think it's a week from now.
Speaker 1: Can you look that up? Katie?
Speaker 2: When do they actually send Katie space? Katy Perry, Gail King?
Speaker 2: And who's the other woman going into space? It Pino
Speaker 2: the soccer player girl or whoever? Yes, Katie, it's it's today. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's today, historic day. And take a look at the rocket.
Speaker 2: Just I sent you guys the picture. It's a little
Speaker 2: phallic all rockets, No, this one kind of goes a
Speaker 2: little step further. I think, oh my wow, that is
Speaker 2: I see your point. That looks exactly like America is
Speaker 2: a favorite to vibrator. According to the New York Times,
Speaker 2: it looks like, yeah, a pleasurement device. Yes, and they're
Speaker 2: sending women into space. That's kind of funny. You gotta
Speaker 2: admit there'll be lots of jokes around that.
Speaker 1: There will be many.
Speaker 2: By the way, Hey Katie, as long as you're on
Speaker 2: your mic, how do you like my Master's hoodie?
Speaker 1: You like that? I like it and I like the color.
Speaker 1: It's good. It's a good shade. Thank you. I think
Speaker 1: it's flattering. It's a lightish green. What do they charge
Speaker 1: you for that?
Speaker 2: I went nuts in the swag shop, Jack. I'd like
Speaker 2: to blame Judy, but it was mostly me. I mean,
Speaker 2: I didn't go completely nuts. It's not like I'm wearing
Speaker 2: a Master's T shirt under my hoodie. Oh whoops?
Speaker 1: Ye for the love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I bought master socks, but I'm not wearing
Speaker 2: them right now.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, did you get shot glasses? I did not,
Speaker 2: and doesn't really do shots as a grown man. And
Speaker 2: does it say on the back of your hoodie and
Speaker 2: T shirt because I'm better than you? No?
Speaker 1: Again, that's understood, doesn't need to be said. We've got Katis.
Speaker 2: The logo got Katie's headlines all the way text line
Speaker 2: four one KFTC.
Speaker 1: Probably hour two. Well play you.
Speaker 2: Some clips from Bill Mahers show Friday Night, which he
Speaker 2: talks about his dinner with Donald Trump and said some
Speaker 2: really nice things about Trump, basically saying he's a way
Speaker 2: more normal guy than you think he is than he
Speaker 2: shows on TV, way more self aware, way more will
Speaker 2: listen to what you have to say. So it's a yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure his audience hated that, but we'll get to
Speaker 2: that idea. I don't think it's an accident that Trump
Speaker 2: is a big has a lot of fans among the
Speaker 2: wrestling crowd, the ww crowd whatever they call themselves these days,
Speaker 2: in that you have people with these big, giant outside personas,
Speaker 2: they're performers, and Trump the private guy is very different
Speaker 2: than his persona according to like everybody spends time with them.
Speaker 2: So anyway, so much talk about Let's figure out who's
Speaker 2: reporting what it's Lead's story with Katie Green.
Speaker 1: Katie starting with ABC News.
Speaker 4: White House physician says President Trump remains in excellent health.
Speaker 1: Man. What is he six six three two twenty or
Speaker 1: something like that. I got the numbers.
Speaker 2: He lost weight from last I'm around, but he's a
Speaker 2: large man. As we were reminded during the Biden years,
Speaker 2: these exams and announcements are completely meaningless because the White
Speaker 2: Householdings releases what it wants.
Speaker 4: To so whos From CNN, Trump administration says Russia's deadly
Speaker 4: strikes on Ukraine cross quote any line of decency.
Speaker 1: Well good, I didn't hear that.
Speaker 2: I'm glad they said that, because, well, for one thing,
Speaker 2: it's true.
Speaker 1: It's very true.
Speaker 4: This one from Katie Grimes at the cow Globe, as
Speaker 4: Trump chalks up big wins for the American people. Democrats
Speaker 4: hail Bernie Sanders as quote fresh.
Speaker 1: Bernie was in our neighborhood over the weekend.
Speaker 2: We got some clips of the oligarch tour, and also
Speaker 2: a hilarious montage I came across over the weekend of
Speaker 2: him claiming we're now living in an oligarchy. Every year
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety two he has said that, Wow, oh hey,
Speaker 2: it's his free bird. I mean, you gotta send the
Speaker 2: folks home happy.
Speaker 4: From New York Post, gop seditor proposes bill to claw
Speaker 4: back forty six million dollars owed in taxes by IRS workers.
Speaker 4: From the New York Times. Blue Origin flight will take
Speaker 4: six women, including Gail King and Katy Perry, to space, and.
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos's old lady is one of them.
Speaker 1: She designed the sexy little space outsuits. I was just
Speaker 1: wondering that.
Speaker 2: I thought she told Jeff Bezos, if I'm wearing a
Speaker 2: space outfit, I better look hot in it, because it's
Speaker 2: like it's like very very fashionable, makes them look super hot.
Speaker 1: Well, aren't.
Speaker 2: Roughly twenty percent of women aspiring fashion designers, including Horbly
Speaker 2: Bezos is squeeze probably, and so she wants to introduce
Speaker 2: her style onto the scene.
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I want to get this on because a friend of
Speaker 2: mine who hates Katy Perry sent this. I don't know
Speaker 2: why you hate Katy Perry like this, but they hate
Speaker 2: Katy Perry twenty five minutes until John Mayer and I
Speaker 2: get a world without Katy Perry for a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Let's got of space, all right, stay there.
Speaker 2: Any chance we can blast the hens from the view
Speaker 2: into space, I'd pay for it.
Speaker 1: Yes, this one is a very strange story.
Speaker 4: USA Today, FBI says team killed parents in Wisconsin as
Speaker 4: part of a plot to assassinate Trump.
Speaker 2: I saw that crazy completely fruit loops from NBC.
Speaker 4: Woman admits trying to sell human toes regurgitated by dogs.
Speaker 2: That's a difficult supply chain to maintain, that's the tough
Speaker 2: part of that business.
Speaker 1: That's a very specific interest, right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And finally the Babylon Bee China trade war update. Trump
Speaker 4: classifies Panda Express as domestic terror organization.
Speaker 1: It has been on my stomach before.
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you have like a cabala pitbulls
Speaker 2: you send forth that you off people's toes and then
Speaker 2: you drag them back and then monitor their poopins or
Speaker 2: what I mean? I get your supply chain going. I
Speaker 2: will dig into that story and have more later that
Speaker 2: please do. It seems like an Armstrong and Getty story.
Speaker 2: And we've got some news of the day. I hope
Speaker 2: you can stick around if you miss a segment, get
Speaker 2: the podcast.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Geddy thinking. The extracts right now.
Speaker 4: To a standing okay, share the forty seventh Presidents of
Speaker 4: the United.
Speaker 1: States, South America White by us CEOK but.
Speaker 2: White and others.
Speaker 3: Don Jay, Is there anybody else that no, isn't a fighter?
Speaker 3: Why some music kid walk star here?
Speaker 1: You always get to walk out? Give it the walk out,
Speaker 1: peeple love it.
Speaker 2: Speaking of understanding performative everything, there's Donald Trump walking into
Speaker 2: a big UFC match the other night, the crowd going
Speaker 2: absolutely burst orcan Kid Rocks there and Joe Rogan's announcing
Speaker 2: and all the sort of stuff that everyone in the
Speaker 2: lift absolutely hates about Trump, and I kind of enjoy
Speaker 2: that part of it. What Kid rock song is it?
Speaker 2: That's his walk up?
Speaker 1: Official? I don't know, They're all pretty good. It is official.
Speaker 1: We do have chicks in space.
Speaker 2: The Blue Origin rocket has blasted off just a few
Speaker 2: minutes ago. I see on the television every networks in
Speaker 2: an Fox, CBS, obviously in ABC all I'll have it live.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate, I have hated forever.
Speaker 2: I started complaining about it before I heard anybody complaining
Speaker 2: about it. Performative space stuff where it's the first, you know,
Speaker 2: African American, gay one legged person to.
Speaker 1: Blast and mates all this stuff. It's a historic day.
Speaker 2: Jad I've hated this since they started it, and I
Speaker 2: think it's what killed the space program because most people
Speaker 2: don't give a crap about that. They care about reaching
Speaker 2: places we never reached before. Or you do some sort
Speaker 2: of scientific experiment that's novel, but the first this or
Speaker 2: that human nobody freaking cares.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 2: But this one is rocket is shaped like a device
Speaker 2: that reaches places and nobody's reached before. If you hear me, oh,
Speaker 2: the first all female crew, how did they end up
Speaker 2: with a rocket?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: All I realize now Katie brought this up and said,
Speaker 2: to a rocket's phallic. Okay, no, kidd in, all rockets
Speaker 2: are phallic. And I only know this from reading like
Speaker 2: New York Times articles because I don't, as a dude,
Speaker 2: own any female pleasuring devices. But I know from the
Speaker 2: New York Times that is shaped exactly like by far
Speaker 2: the number one female pleasure and device on Earth because
Speaker 2: they review it all the time. You can't be a
Speaker 2: coincidence that the rocket's shaped exactly like that. You know,
Speaker 2: I kind of consider myself the number one female pleasure
Speaker 2: and device on Earth.
Speaker 1: Jack, that's the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 2: It really is that things that things number two at best.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is the worst thing you have ever said.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, anyway, So the very wand like rocket is
Speaker 2: making its way through space.
Speaker 1: Let's hear the lift off right here. Lifts cleared the tower.
Speaker 1: It's about the thread lab. So they're gonna be pulling
Speaker 1: three genes as they rocket up to space. It's about
Speaker 1: an eleven minute trip in total. Four minutes of it
Speaker 1: will be weightless. Do you even know where?
Speaker 2: As you know, we've seen this before with various celebrities
Speaker 2: slow down climbing.
Speaker 1: Why why are we paying attention to this? I don't
Speaker 1: care if King is the space Okay, I don't care.
Speaker 1: How about Katy Perry? Do you care the m Katy Perry,
Speaker 1: let's got a spad.
Speaker 2: I just sent you all a picture to your text
Speaker 2: line that is the most popular vibrating device for women
Speaker 2: that is sold in America.
Speaker 1: Tell me that rocket ship doesn't look exactly freaking like that.
Speaker 2: No, they just they just put boosters at the bottom
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: Vibrator and is the same thing that's hilarious.
Speaker 2: That has to be Jeff Bezos is trying to get
Speaker 2: on and in on the Elon Musk, making subtle jokes,
Speaker 2: childish thing. I think it's what's happening there. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: we're in a trade war with China. All right, we
Speaker 2: got to be serious. Give you times.
Speaker 4: You you have completely eliminated yourself from taking that with.
Speaker 1: What you just said a couple of seconds ago.
Speaker 2: So I'm only gonna give this a few more seconds
Speaker 2: because I think we are right about this.
Speaker 1: Is there any significance to this at all.
Speaker 2: Other than the claim of it's the first of all
Speaker 2: female space flight and who cares?
Speaker 1: Who cares?
Speaker 2: Rocket Company, which is in probably second place in the
Speaker 2: race to be the pre eminent rocket company, needed a
Speaker 2: little attention, little publicity to help the investments come in.
Speaker 1: A weak way to do it? This is a week
Speaker 1: way to do it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I would agree, hence my disdaining for the
Speaker 2: nakedly the commercial mission.
Speaker 1: Who freaking cares?
Speaker 4: Right along until they create the Blue Origin, which is
Speaker 4: Amazon's new sex toy.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this afternoon, Katie, that's what this is
Speaker 2: all about. He's going to debut the new magic wand
Speaker 2: massage or rechargeable. This is Blue Origin on the side
Speaker 2: with maybe a picture of Katie Perry smiling. It'll take
Speaker 2: you to space, Katie, you are now in charge of
Speaker 2: all of our marketing efforts and congratulations.
Speaker 1: It will be brilliant. It will launch you into other worlds.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is a dumb story and we
Speaker 1: shouldn't have spent this much time on it. Well, folks,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm dealing with.
Speaker 2: The parachutes have deployed, So does that mean they're coming
Speaker 2: back down already?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: When they get out will probably be a big deal,
Speaker 2: mostly because they're gonna have to be really concerned about
Speaker 2: how their hair looks, so I don't know if they
Speaker 2: have a stylust that will run in there and fix
Speaker 2: their hair real quick before they get out. Also coming up,
Speaker 2: perhaps next hour. I found this very very interesting how
Speaker 2: the US lost its place as the world's manufacturing powerhouse.
Speaker 2: And I think all of us, you know, over the
Speaker 2: age of thirty, will remember a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't one thing it was.
Speaker 2: It was several things, all designed to make products cheaper
Speaker 2: and more efficient, more profitable. And it is this absolutely
Speaker 2: more interesting than it sounds based on my description. Wow,
Speaker 2: that seems like a hard landing. I just watched the
Speaker 2: spacecraft hit the ground. I'll be interested to hear them
Speaker 2: talk about that. I mean, it's got all the pairshiute,
Speaker 2: it's on top of it, and it's coming down on
Speaker 2: the the hard sands of Texas and it hit pretty hard.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's down already.
Speaker 2: Okay, that couldn't have been Well, it's just like when
Speaker 2: he went up, remember and he got out in the
Speaker 2: cowboy hat and ran around Jeff Bezos himself. It looks
Speaker 2: like a pretty hard landing. I don't know if they
Speaker 2: have uh if the seats are like on springs, maybe
Speaker 2: to help with the impact. But that's a pretty hard
Speaker 2: hit the ground. I hope Katy Perry was wearing supportive undergarments.
Speaker 2: Well shot can be top Gaily anatomy. Gail King's like
Speaker 2: eighty and and his his fiance is going to come out.
Speaker 1: And say that was awful and starts screaming at him.
Speaker 2: And he's told me it wouldn't hurt, and he's gonna
Speaker 2: be standing there saying yep it, yeb it, yeb it,
Speaker 2: as she continues to yell at him.
Speaker 5: I'm the world's second richest man. Yes, second richest. Yes,
Speaker 5: maybe I'll call Elon. He knows how to build rockets.
Speaker 5: Talk to me right now, do not talk to me?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but oh boy.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're kind of putting off getting into the heavy
Speaker 2: news of the day.
Speaker 1: Who can blame us?
Speaker 2: Friday, I put it off for four hours and it
Speaker 2: was awesome, good man. Uh, we do need to jump
Speaker 2: into the what trade stuff is exempt and what is
Speaker 2: actually going to be included, because that changed quite a
Speaker 2: bit over the weekend.
Speaker 1: So I don't know where that leaves us. And confused.
Speaker 2: Honestly, that's where it's left virtually everybody around the world
Speaker 2: not quite figuring out what the plan is and what's
Speaker 2: happening next. So there are people out there who claim
Speaker 2: that the Trump crowd is just flailing and just like
Speaker 2: making it up as they go, seated the pants, winging it.
Speaker 1: And then there are people who claim, including Trump.
Speaker 2: That it is a plan, like she didn't look like
Speaker 2: a plan over the weekend when it was hit China
Speaker 2: with the strong tariffs. Then Saturday announce but not not
Speaker 2: iPhones and other electronics.
Speaker 1: You really, really like you're slumnecker.
Speaker 2: Somebody came out and said, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: they're not exempt, not really just for a minute, just
Speaker 2: for a minute. Yeah, it seems made up. As they
Speaker 2: go to me, I stand ready to be convinced otherwise.
Speaker 2: No Trump derangement syndrome here. I just I don't get it.
Speaker 2: So I suppose it's one thing reacting to the bond market.
Speaker 2: It's another thing reacting to like you just to have
Speaker 2: a bunch of cable news shows on and if people
Speaker 2: go start talking about the iPhone, then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden you announce iPhones are exempt. I mean is that
Speaker 2: how we're doing it? Or Tim Cook calls a White
Speaker 2: House and says, you realize the United States is the
Speaker 2: tech leader of the universe, and if you h damage
Speaker 2: us this severely, we won't be anymore. Why are they
Speaker 2: going to have internal polling? And all of a sudden
Speaker 2: they put a poll in in front of them. It says,
Speaker 2: we just did pulling on the iPhone. If the iPhone
Speaker 2: goes to three thousand dollars, ninety five percent of people
Speaker 2: say they're going to hate you or something like that.
Speaker 2: I wonder, And there's no way to run a railroad.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just don't quite understand how this is
Speaker 2: going to work out. Yeah, me too, I'm I'm troubled
Speaker 2: by all of this partly, and various thinkers have written
Speaker 2: on this, and I'll quote them later perhaps, but there
Speaker 2: are a lot of our friends around the world who
Speaker 2: are thinking, you know, you know how we always go
Speaker 2: along with the US and if they ask us for help,
Speaker 2: we always say yes. And you know, we've got this
Speaker 2: close relationship. I remember, we ought to rethink that. I mean,
Speaker 2: China's making us some good offers.
Speaker 1: H's and that's that's just not good. No, I hope
Speaker 1: that's not true.
Speaker 2: They are restructuring trade relationships. Great love it. So it's possible,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's possible to do the right thing in
Speaker 2: the wrong way.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm a little concerned about.
Speaker 2: So those of us who are listening to this live
Speaker 2: the space capsule is landed on the ground.
Speaker 1: I don't care about this story at all.
Speaker 2: That I've made very clear, and I hate the whole
Speaker 2: first this or that into space, but then they hit
Speaker 2: the ground hard and it's sitting there at the doors closed,
Speaker 2: and I'm just wondering if they're all sitting there with
Speaker 2: broken necks right now. So we'll announce when they come
Speaker 2: out of there and seem to be healthy. We've got
Speaker 2: a mail bag on the way. A lot more news
Speaker 2: of the day to get to stay tuned. ABC News
Speaker 2: is reporting stocks jumped because of the announcement that consumer
Speaker 2: electronics would be exempt from Trump's tariffs like the iPhone.
Speaker 2: Except for Trump yesterday, truth out there was no tariff
Speaker 2: exemption announced on Friday.
Speaker 1: He truthed that out yesterday. Yes, So, okay, I'm confused
Speaker 1: by that, so is everybody. Yeah, more on that next hour.
Speaker 2: Certainly many of us frustrated that tech super giants were
Speaker 2: exempt than not exempt but appear to be exempt, and
Speaker 2: small manufacturers that are the backbone of the economy were not.
Speaker 2: Who import Chinese stuff for their output like Apple, just on.
Speaker 1: A much smaller skill.
Speaker 2: Anyway, here's your freedom loving quote of the thing from
Speaker 2: Albert Camo Japp, the French philosopher and author.
Speaker 1: My dad carries around a Camu quote in his wallet.
Speaker 1: He does. How interesting Do you remember what it is?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Hmm, it's a shame.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: As you know.
Speaker 2: Camu was a moralist and leaned towards a narco syndicalism,
Speaker 2: but his views contributed to the rise of the philosophy
Speaker 2: known as absurdism. Some consider Camu's works to show him
Speaker 2: to be an existentialist, although he himself firmly rejected the
Speaker 2: term throughout his lifetime. Does anybody ever have those conversations
Speaker 2: with about us? I believe Joe Geddy to be an
Speaker 2: narco syndicalist. IM sure, I am. I went out through
Speaker 2: a Camu kick about a year ago. I guess read
Speaker 2: all this big stuff. Yeah, fantastic it.
Speaker 1: Is name looks like Camus, Camus does French.
Speaker 2: That is not the most interesting part about it. Philosophedb No.
Speaker 2: So here's what he said. The only way to deal
Speaker 2: with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free
Speaker 2: that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I love that. I enjoy KMU dry
Speaker 1: though odd it's art. You know.
Speaker 2: Here's your mail bag, drops a note. Mail bag at
Speaker 2: armstrong a geddy dot com is the email address, you know,
Speaker 2: keep it short, ashi if you can.
Speaker 1: It depends.
Speaker 2: Mail bag and armstrong yedtdy dot com. Jack Wright Sean,
Speaker 2: regarding the topic as starting daylight savings time year round,
Speaker 2: you said we should just try it. Well, we did
Speaker 2: do it in the Winner of nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1: I was a kid.
Speaker 2: I remember walking to the school bus stop with a flashlight.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 2: I was a kid at that point too. I don't
Speaker 2: remember that. I don't either was that regional or in
Speaker 2: one state?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think I'll remember that all of us kids needed
Speaker 2: to use a flashlight where we were. There was such
Speaker 2: a huge BackFlash mainly by mothers, that it was repealed
Speaker 2: the following year and we went back to standard time
Speaker 2: in November of seventy five.
Speaker 1: But how does look into that how does Arizona pull
Speaker 1: it off every year? With everybody's fine.
Speaker 2: Piles a bodies jack terrible carnage. Paula with an interesting
Speaker 2: bunch of statistics about the bullet dodger wheeze. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: the bullet dodging weezer wife. Oh I remember that story
Speaker 2: from the US. Still have not heard anybody nail down
Speaker 2: why she isn't dead. She squeezed off a shot at
Speaker 2: multiple lapd and kind of gets shot, and then goes
Speaker 2: in the house and hangs out with the babysitter for
Speaker 2: a while, then comes back up. That's not the way
Speaker 2: this story usually goes. If you shoot at cops, how
Speaker 2: is your day, honey? So it's really not surprising, he says.
Speaker 2: Here's the point. Handguns, especially even long guns, are extremely inaccurate,
Speaker 2: especially when discharged in stressful situations. The average person with
Speaker 2: a handgun would likely miss a bad guy me your
Speaker 2: feet away from their living room. Yes, they're highly trained
Speaker 2: military special forces or SWAT types, and they're freakishly talented
Speaker 2: Annie Oakley types. They're not your average police officer who
Speaker 2: likely never once fires this weapon his entire career in
Speaker 2: the line of duty. Lots of stories on the subject.
Speaker 2: Here's an old one from the New York Times. A
Speaker 2: hail of bullets, a heap of uncertainty. Here are the
Speaker 2: stats in twenty oh six, in cases where police officers
Speaker 2: intentionally fired a gun at a person, they discharged three
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four bullets and hit their target one
Speaker 2: hundred and three times, for a hit rate of twenty
Speaker 2: eight percent. In twenty oh five, officers fired four hundred
Speaker 2: and seventy two times in the same circumstances, hitting the
Speaker 2: mark just eighty two times, or a seventeen and a
Speaker 2: half percent hit rate and a forty three percent accuracy
Speaker 2: rate when the target ranged from zero to six feet away.
Speaker 2: So a cop within six feet is going to hit
Speaker 2: his target or did in those ears forty three percent
Speaker 2: of the time. As we were talking about this on Friday,
Speaker 2: there are tragic stories all the time.
Speaker 1: We know of.
Speaker 2: Guy's got a cell phone in his hand and the
Speaker 2: cops think it's a gun, or you know, it's a
Speaker 2: fake gun, it's a toy.
Speaker 1: All kinds of things where people get filled full of holes.
Speaker 2: She pointed a gun at the cops for a while
Speaker 2: while they said put it down with their guns pointed her.
Speaker 1: Then squeezes off a shot at them.
Speaker 2: I don't that this story doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2: There's still something missing from it. By the way, I
Speaker 2: gotta update you on this because it's too much. They've
Speaker 2: opened the capsule door, the space craft has landed, Bezos's
Speaker 2: fiance comes out, her hair looking perfect. He runs up
Speaker 2: to him her with his arms open and his really
Speaker 2: tiny T shirt and giant guns because he's a workout
Speaker 2: free and hugs her and they make a big spectacle
Speaker 2: out of that, which is just nauseating. I throw up
Speaker 2: and I did even go into space. Then Katy Perry
Speaker 2: comes out of the capsule and immediately kisses the ground.
Speaker 1: Right and launches her new single You're probably right, she's
Speaker 1: got a song that's gonna drop today. You send me
Speaker 1: into space or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm Katy Perry.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is too much.
Speaker 2: And the fact that they made these outfits sexy for
Speaker 2: the hot chicks is so funny.
Speaker 1: Jay and san Diego.
Speaker 2: Writes over the weekend, I got talking with my seventeen
Speaker 2: year old daughter about school House Rock and now entertaining
Speaker 2: and educational it was, and they dug into it and
Speaker 2: rediscovered a whole series of episodes about America.
Speaker 1: I'm only a bill, et cetera.
Speaker 2: There's a whole series about the Constitution, women's suffrage, the
Speaker 2: American melting Pot, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And it's heartwarming and fun.
Speaker 2: As it was to watch few old episodes episodes online
Speaker 2: with her, it was heartbreaking to realize we could not
Speaker 2: air these on broadcast television today.
Speaker 1: Well you could, but they don't. They are not just disappointing.
Speaker 1: It's not just sad. It's tragic and borderline criminal.
Speaker 2: They aired them in my son's school and then explained
Speaker 2: what's wrong with them?
Speaker 1: Oh my lord, yeah, the public school?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, wow, what do they believe out of that?
Speaker 2: They said to the class, because this was recounted to
Speaker 2: me by my son. Yes, they did not mention slavery.
Speaker 2: They did not bring up the fact that they were slave.
Speaker 1: Holders, any of that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: So you only played the schoolhouse rock thing to point
Speaker 2: out how bad America is. We are indoctrinating our children
Speaker 2: to hate their country in government schools. Fight it, friends,
Speaker 2: fight it.
Speaker 1: It's odd, lord.
Speaker 2: So I just read the Wall Street Journal version of
Speaker 2: the back and forth over the tariffs on iPhones, for instance,
Speaker 2: completely confusing. I have no idea what's going on. We
Speaker 2: got the Bill, Maher having dinner with Trump and talking
Speaker 2: about it. We got a lot of good stuff for
Speaker 2: hour two.
Speaker 1: I hope you can be there, Armstrong and Getty
