Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jettie and no heee Armstrong and Yehetty.
Speaker 2: And according to new research, ozempic could help people cut
Speaker 2: back on drinking. Yep, thanks to ozempic, you can have
Speaker 2: less food and less foods so you'll live longer.
Speaker 1: But what's the point there? You go an old old joke.
Speaker 3: Indeed, I probably should read this text just to because
Speaker 3: it represents quite a few messages we've gotten and we'll
Speaker 3: probably get over the next twenty four hours as people
Speaker 3: listen to the podcast. Because I've said some unkind things
Speaker 3: about Matt Gates. For instance, Yes you have it. I've
Speaker 3: been shocked and outraged. Excuse me. Matt Gates is the
Speaker 3: perfect man to do the job. Matt Gates makes you
Speaker 3: look like an elementary school student, Jack. Matt Gates is
Speaker 3: a warrior for the United States people. He might be
Speaker 3: in terms of trying to straighten out the Justice Department.
Speaker 3: Our take through the day has been just there's probably
Speaker 3: lots of guys or women that couder would do that,
Speaker 3: and they don't have all the baggage that Matt Gates
Speaker 3: has where he has made angry everybody in the other
Speaker 3: party and his own party for the most part. I mean,
Speaker 3: why why pick a guy who has no friends, which
Speaker 3: means in politics you have less power, and then you
Speaker 3: know all the media against him.
Speaker 4: I just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't see the point. But I mean when he
Speaker 3: says things like I saw a clip the other day.
Speaker 3: Now I laughed at this, but he said about some
Speaker 3: abortion pro abortion rally talked about how well I have
Speaker 3: to worry about abortions because they're all too fat and
Speaker 3: ugly to have sex or something like that. Like, well,
Speaker 3: since that that the sort of comment you want out
Speaker 3: of your attorney general.
Speaker 4: Man, just don't think that helps anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if one of my golf buddies said it, I
Speaker 1: might laugh, right, I think that's over the top, right,
Speaker 1: But yeah, come on, and I'll tell you this. And
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I have turned out to be
Speaker 1: wrong on a number of occasions. That number is two
Speaker 1: my entire life. No, I could be wrong. But when
Speaker 1: somebody tells me exactly I want what I want to hear,
Speaker 1: my immediate reaction is, what's going on here? Is this legit?
Speaker 1: A lot of people in politics, especially in these fever days,
Speaker 1: when somebody tells them exactly what they want to hear,
Speaker 1: they think that's a great person, and I'm with them,
Speaker 1: you know, Like Carrie Lake could be a perfect example.
Speaker 1: I think she's phony as a three dollar bill, but
Speaker 1: she's great at spouting the rhetoric of what people like
Speaker 1: me want to hear. Other people hear her and think
Speaker 1: she's great. I want her to win the people of Arizona,
Speaker 1: which is a fairly red stater, or used to be.
Speaker 1: Anyway I've spoken, but I put Matt Gates in that
Speaker 1: con man category. Perhaps you disagree, and again, if I
Speaker 1: turn out to be wrong, I will get on the
Speaker 1: air in front of the assembled millions and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I was wrong on that one. So we'll
Speaker 1: I'll find out together.
Speaker 3: Brian kill Meate on Fox and Friends said he's surprised
Speaker 3: Matt Gates is in the starting lineup instead of in
Speaker 3: a clown car.
Speaker 4: So I guess he's closer to my think. Gigmut, Oh my,
Speaker 4: who is this?
Speaker 1: This is Olivia Iverson and Matt Gates sixty one.
Speaker 5: Michael, is it safe to say that based off of
Speaker 5: your comments, you're suggesting that these women at these abortion
Speaker 5: rallies are ugly and overweight. Yes, what do you say
Speaker 5: to people who think that those comments are offensive?
Speaker 1: Be offended?
Speaker 3: I get the appeal of that sort of thing. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: as absolutely. I mean, you know, listen to our show
Speaker 3: over the years, but it's not always the best way
Speaker 3: to actually get anything done. Yeah, like actually bring down
Speaker 3: the deep state or corrupt.
Speaker 1: This or that. Yeah, you won't be effective, is the problem. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I love this from Andrew Styles the definitive list of
Speaker 1: winners and losers the twenty twenty five for election, and actually,
Speaker 1: much as I love Andrew, i' gon e quippal. With
Speaker 1: his opening, he says, the election's over. Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: the Republicans, excuse me, won a stunning and decisive victory.
Speaker 1: I would say Donald Trump won a stunning in decisive victory.
Speaker 1: The Senate performed very very well, and the House scraped
Speaker 1: by for the Republicans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, mentioned this, certified government mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it until I heard a Democrat
Speaker 3: pointed out, how can you call it a wave if
Speaker 3: you're going to have like a three seat majority in
Speaker 3: the House of Representatives.
Speaker 4: And ain't much of a wave.
Speaker 3: I mean when Obama won, he had like an eighty
Speaker 3: seat majority.
Speaker 1: It's an indy bitty wave. Yeah, But anyway, winners and losers.
Speaker 1: Winner diversity, actual diversity. All sorts of different people voted
Speaker 1: for Trump and got out of their electoral pens that
Speaker 1: the Democrat had told them they ought to stay in
Speaker 1: the Democrats rather, with the exception of seniors and college
Speaker 1: educated white women. Huzzah, Trump improved his margins in every group.
Speaker 1: Winner Hillary Clinton no longer the only Democrat to lose
Speaker 1: to Trump. Winner mental health professionals about to make a
Speaker 1: fortune treating the emotional breakdowns of college educated white women
Speaker 1: and deranged liberals and journalists who base their entire personalities
Speaker 1: on hating Trump and his supporters. Wow, what a way
Speaker 1: to live your life. All the same people who are
Speaker 1: cutting off friends and loved ones who care about them
Speaker 1: deeply as a human being because they because they've bought
Speaker 1: I think the most hyperbolic, ridiculous stuff about politics.
Speaker 3: Spend Thanksgiving alone and in the comfort of knowing at
Speaker 3: least you're not hanging around with Trump voters.
Speaker 1: You weirdo are evil, That's right. Another winner, Dean Phillips,
Speaker 1: only Democrat with the balls to run against Biden and
Speaker 1: the Democratic primary and say he's too old. He was
Speaker 1: mocked and ridiculed at the time.
Speaker 3: Oh Man in the Democratic Party cut his legs out
Speaker 3: from underneath him, made it impossible for him to get anywhere.
Speaker 4: And he was a one hundred percent right it turns out.
Speaker 1: And telling the truth. Yeah, tell he's not welcome in politics. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another winner, Josh Shapiro. He dodged the bullet of being
Speaker 1: a hitched to Kamala Harris's way, right, he looks smart
Speaker 1: for not taking the job, which he probably didn't want. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we've already forgotten the name of the guy she did pick,
Speaker 1: the guy in the camo had who pranced around and
Speaker 1: lied about China.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's his face top on? Or how about his
Speaker 3: weird five minutes of fame? That'll never I mean, it'll
Speaker 3: be a trivia question.
Speaker 1: Please, let's begin laughing at the laughing stock. Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: the whole temper tantrum, saying we got to be a
Speaker 1: reporter of news, not an opinion machine. Tony Hitchcliff and garbage.
Speaker 1: He goes into how that was like the final week
Speaker 1: closing argument. Look at this monster Trump mounted to nothing.
Speaker 1: Didn't amount to a pile of garbage in terms of
Speaker 1: electoral effect, right that the musk, Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 3: That remember we were counting the days. It had like
Speaker 3: five days of legs. That Puerto Rico joke as being
Speaker 3: one of the lead stories. What a stupid decision from
Speaker 3: the media who is hell bent on bringing down Trump?
Speaker 3: You thought that was your best argument. That comedian's joke
Speaker 3: apparently didn't work.
Speaker 1: Why because they see everything through the lens of identity politics.
Speaker 1: So this looked like an enormous faux paw and a
Speaker 1: great to break bet to beat Trump with the rest
Speaker 1: of us normal people, including plenty of Democrats and lefties,
Speaker 1: as many of whom are listening right now. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't afford my groceries. I don't care what some
Speaker 1: obscure comedians said about Puerto Rico alson new media, alternative media,
Speaker 1: including ourselves big winners in the election, Sonny Hostin and
Speaker 1: the other ladies of the view for sinking the Harris
Speaker 1: campaign with the what would you do differently than Biden?
Speaker 1: There is not a thing that comes to mind, Harris said,
Speaker 1: in a breathtaking display of unpreparedness, is Sonny Hosten a
Speaker 1: lock for Journalist of the Year.
Speaker 3: Well, as she has come out and said she was
Speaker 3: shocked to that answer. So she was trying to throw
Speaker 3: Kamala a life preserver because he had flubbed the answer
Speaker 3: the day before, and instead of throwing our life preserver,
Speaker 3: she threw a cinder block that took her under the water.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, well, said another winter women. Trump's victory of
Speaker 1: Russia in a golden era of women's rights, in spite
Speaker 1: of the muling and screeching of the college educated white
Speaker 1: women of a certain age. His chief of staff Susie Wiles,
Speaker 1: would be the first woman to hold a job. It'll
Speaker 1: soon be safe to play sports again. Women can say
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas and be attractive without getting publicly shamed, etcetera.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna learn, ladies, America does not want a
Speaker 3: female president. I think that's they'll take away.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was an attempt, and I emphasize
Speaker 1: attempt at humor, ladies, and I apologize for it. Scott
Speaker 1: Jameson's third great on the Yeah.
Speaker 3: I heard somebody say the other day, how about try
Speaker 3: something different than pantsuits? Two pantsuit ladies who bring in
Speaker 3: effeminate men to be their underlings something different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh, Margaret Thatcher or dresses didn't she I
Speaker 1: don't remember. I don't care what they wear, wear anything,
Speaker 1: and wear nothing. Scott Jennings great on CNN, very reasonable,
Speaker 1: smart conservative, Mark Halperin, who's independent reporting in sober analysis,
Speaker 1: much of which you heard mentioned here on The Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty Show is vastly superior and more informative than
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. Is hackish, hyperventilating, another example of new
Speaker 1: media just whooping the old and then some other obscure
Speaker 1: stuh the p Israel winner.
Speaker 3: The pant suit thing is actually interesting and I learned
Speaker 3: this from listening to Sarah Izger in the Dispatch. I
Speaker 3: hadn't known about level one, level two, level three feminism,
Speaker 3: but like level two feminism or whatever, maybe one was
Speaker 3: the pant suit. It's like, see, we can be just
Speaker 3: like men. We've got our version of suits, and here
Speaker 3: we are in the workplace. And then like the next
Speaker 3: level of feminism, No, I can dress like kind of hot,
Speaker 3: like a woman likes to sometimes in a skirt and
Speaker 3: high heels, and also be effective. And I think that
Speaker 3: would be helpful to get away from that old level
Speaker 3: of pant suit thingy.
Speaker 4: I think there is sort of a subliminal thing going
Speaker 4: on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna free you by demanding you adhere to
Speaker 1: our stereotypes and our orders. You will work outside the home,
Speaker 1: you will turn your nose up at raising children and
Speaker 1: being the leader of the family. You will make money
Speaker 1: for a corporation, and you will wear pants in the
Speaker 1: name of freedom, right right? Yeah. Level threes where whatever
Speaker 1: you want, do whatever you want. And I tell you
Speaker 1: what that's And I don't know if there's a name
Speaker 1: for guys like I'll just speak for myself who are
Speaker 1: like women can do whatever they want and achieve whatever
Speaker 1: they want. And who the hell am I to tell
Speaker 1: them that it's more satisfying to make another half of
Speaker 1: a percent for your corporation as opposed to raising children
Speaker 1: and being the actual functional chief operating officer as a family.
Speaker 1: You do what you want. I trust you to make
Speaker 1: the decision. I don't believe in browbeating people to conform
Speaker 1: to some sort of you know, prefab image of what
Speaker 1: they ought to be. I find it disgusting no matter
Speaker 1: what you know, label it puts on itself. Oh running late,
Speaker 1: I tell you what why don't we get to the losers.
Speaker 1: I'm auditioning. I heard they got some openings on some
Speaker 1: of the daytime TV shows. Really, and I'm thinking, if
Speaker 1: if maybe like get myself a little chin lift and
Speaker 1: cheek tuck and eye lift and ear adjustment, dock my ears,
Speaker 1: maybe I could I could be a big time TV guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know with the delivery? Is that the key
Speaker 1: is the delivery? That's right coming up? We look at
Speaker 1: the losers.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's on the way.
Speaker 3: So that's a big crowd in Amsterdam, Amsterdam shouting shame
Speaker 3: on you.
Speaker 1: When did that happen?
Speaker 3: That's around the attacking of the Jews attending the soccer
Speaker 3: match from a week or so ago.
Speaker 1: Do you know who they're chanting at?
Speaker 3: I don't. I assume it's the people who attacked the
Speaker 3: Jewish people. But so tonight the Israeli soccer team is
Speaker 3: playing France in Paris. I didn't know this. France has
Speaker 3: the largest population in Europe of Jews and Muslims. Did
Speaker 3: not know that, and they have four thousand police. They're
Speaker 3: going to try to make sure nothing bad happens, even
Speaker 3: though social media makes it look like the Muslim crowd
Speaker 3: is looking.
Speaker 1: For a fight.
Speaker 3: Eighty thousand seat stadium. They've sold eleven thousand tickets, so
Speaker 3: not very many people are interested in being there.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: So interesting to see how this plays up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe tomorrow we can get to some more of
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy's absolutely brilliant peace about how this is absolutely
Speaker 1: a sign of something much, much bigger. It's not about soccer,
Speaker 1: and it's not even about Gaza or what have you.
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that. We're going over the winners
Speaker 1: and losers from the recent election. Loser number one, Come on,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The experts told us sleepy Joe would be
Speaker 1: the most consequential president since FDR when he dropped out
Speaker 1: in July. Those same experts compared Biden to George Washington,
Speaker 1: praising his selfless act as political courage. He will not
Speaker 1: be remembered that way now. In reality, Biden's decision to
Speaker 1: run for reelection rights Andrew Styles will be remembered as
Speaker 1: one of the most reckless acts of political hubris and
Speaker 1: American history. His selection of Kamala Harris as a running
Speaker 1: mate in twenty twenty his decision to immediately endorse her
Speaker 1: also regarded as monumental blunders. This is the legacy Biden deserves.
Speaker 3: They met Trump and Biden met for two hours yesterday.
Speaker 3: I find that pretty interesting alone. What were they talking about?
Speaker 3: Trump says they talked a lot about Ukraine and talked
Speaker 3: a lot about Israel. But two hours, that's a pretty
Speaker 3: serious conversation.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, I have no doubt. I'm glad
Speaker 1: to hear it, Honestly. Another loser, of course, Tim Walls,
Speaker 1: oh right, the camo hat guy who around pranced around
Speaker 1: on stage and lied constantly about China and other weird things.
Speaker 1: He was supposed to help the Hair's campaign appeal to men.
Speaker 1: He pretended to go pheasant hunting, cackled with the ladies
Speaker 1: of the U, and played video games with AOC. He
Speaker 1: said Republicans were weird. Trump won mail voters by thirteen.
Speaker 3: Points, right, And obviously, if you're going to pick somebody
Speaker 3: out of the whole crowd, that was weird.
Speaker 1: He was almost certainly the weirdest. And I'm a knucklehead
Speaker 1: at times. Another losers, other losers, the Obamas, and you know,
Speaker 1: he talks about various things. But they tried to shame
Speaker 1: black men and voting for Kamala, scolding the brothers for
Speaker 1: hating women. Oh go away, please go away. Other losers
Speaker 1: Alex Soros, who's the son of billionaire George Soros who
Speaker 1: funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into the Democrats in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, hanging out with him at elite conferences,
Speaker 1: inviting them to his swanky Manhattan pad, etc. And some
Speaker 1: other people you've never heard of. The mainstream media journalists
Speaker 1: are the worst. They scolded the American people for feeling
Speaker 1: stressed about the economy and thinking, but Biden was too
Speaker 1: old to run for reelection. They still don't understand why
Speaker 1: no one trusts them or takes them seriously. They try
Speaker 1: to put their thumbs on the scale for Harris, but
Speaker 1: it made no difference due to their rapidly diminishing credibility
Speaker 1: and relevance. They will learn nothing and carry on into
Speaker 1: the void. Speaking of spending.
Speaker 3: Money, did you see that Kamala Harris's campaign gave Al
Speaker 3: Sharpton a half a million dollars five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 3: they gave to Kamala before he did the glowing interview
Speaker 3: with her. Wow, what kind of shakedown is that? And
Speaker 3: I can't believe that they play that game with Al
Speaker 3: freaking Sharpton. You gave him a half a million dollars
Speaker 3: so he'd do a softball interview with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, more losers, the Lincoln Project go away, shameless grifters, criminals,
Speaker 1: terrorists in Iran. Not even Ben Rhodes can save you. Now, losers.
Speaker 3: That Al Sharpton thing pisses me off because that interview
Speaker 3: got a fair amount of play in mainstream media because
Speaker 3: she was addressing, you know, the black community and all
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 6: He did.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't do the interview unless he got a half a
Speaker 4: million dollars. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Can we have some sort of giant statement from you know,
Speaker 1: the black folks in America, fabulous loyal Americans who disavow
Speaker 1: the very concept of Al Sharpton being a spokesperson for anybody.
Speaker 3: We have a US Senator who is a friend of
Speaker 3: the Armstrong and Getty show laying out the personality of
Speaker 3: our perhaps next Attorney General, Matt Gates.
Speaker 4: If you haven't heard this, it's somewhat chuckin.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: I will tonight discuss Matt Gate. Some of you will
Speaker 2: think I'm too hard on him. Some of you who
Speaker 2: think I'm much too easy on him. And this is
Speaker 2: in the context of what is one of the most
Speaker 2: jaw dropping days in the last ten years of Trump.
Speaker 4: And that is a heck of a statement from Mark Halper.
Speaker 3: And it's hard to have jaw dropping days that stand
Speaker 3: out with Trump, but yesterday was one. Here's a prescient
Speaker 3: Matt Gates from a little over a year ago, and
Speaker 3: maybe an Attorney General Matt Gates down the road or
Speaker 3: someone of my liking who will be there to actually
Speaker 3: enforce the law and provide the accountability.
Speaker 1: And I like that. I like that Attorney General Matt Gates.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Man? The world is not ready?
Speaker 3: You probably certainly sent a conform me wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: But you know, we're getting a boy and dream boy.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 3: He was kind of throwing it out there as kind
Speaker 3: of like a jokey idea Senate confirmation would be difficult. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Trump heard that. Why if you don't know the Matt
Speaker 3: Gates story, Well, here's a little inkling to his personal
Speaker 3: life from a friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show,
Speaker 3: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, who we talked to when we
Speaker 3: were in Milwaukee.
Speaker 7: You got a thing about this guy this is a
Speaker 7: guy that didn't have the media didn't give a time
Speaker 7: at day to after he was accused of sleeping with
Speaker 7: an underage girl. There's a reason why no one and
Speaker 7: the conference came definite him because we had all seen
Speaker 7: the videos he was showing on the house floor that
Speaker 7: all of us had walked away, of the girls that
Speaker 7: he had slept with. He'd brag about how he would
Speaker 7: crush ed medicine and chase it with with an energy
Speaker 7: drink so he could go all night. This is obviously
Speaker 7: before you got married. And so when that accusation came out,
Speaker 7: no one definit him, and then no one on the
Speaker 7: media would give him a time of the day. All
Speaker 7: of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the
Speaker 7: speaker of the house back in November, and he's always
Speaker 7: stayed there and he was never going to leave until
Speaker 7: he got this last moment of fame by saying by
Speaker 7: going after a motion to vacate.
Speaker 3: Sleeping around as a congressman probably not a wise idea period,
Speaker 3: But the kind of forty year old dude who shows
Speaker 3: other people at work videos of the girls he's sleeping with, Yeah,
Speaker 3: not my kind of guy. Wow week and then, So
Speaker 3: whether or not he was ever with a seventeen year
Speaker 3: old or transported a girl across st state lines where
Speaker 3: seventeen years old was an acceptable age, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We might learn more about that tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So coincidentally, with Trump announcing his name for Attorney General yesterday,
Speaker 3: than Matt Gates immediately resigning from.
Speaker 4: The House, which is not what usually happens.
Speaker 3: Usually you hang around in your gig until you get
Speaker 3: to the confirmation time. But he immediately resigned, which means
Speaker 3: the House Ethics Committee has no reason to put out
Speaker 3: their report that it turns out, was due to come
Speaker 3: out tomorrow about their investigation into Matt Gates's personal life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Ethics Committee doesn't put out reports on former
Speaker 1: congress people.
Speaker 4: Now then why would they.
Speaker 3: We have a strong feeling that it will leak since
Speaker 3: Republicans and Democrats hate the guy, and there'll probably be
Speaker 3: a lot of people who could easily get a copy
Speaker 3: of that to whatever news source. I am kind of interested, though,
Speaker 3: a number of people that have said really harsh things
Speaker 3: about Matt Gates over the years. When Trump named him
Speaker 3: for AG, you know, soft feddled at a little Lindsey
Speaker 3: Graham being one of them, Marco Rubio being another one
Speaker 3: of them, and maybe Mark Wayne Mullen. I haven't heard this.
Speaker 3: He was on CNN yesterday with Jake Tapper.
Speaker 1: Are you going to vote for mac Gains?
Speaker 7: You know Matt Gates, And either's no question that we've
Speaker 7: had our differences. They've been very public about it. I
Speaker 7: completely trust President Trump's decision making on this one. But
Speaker 7: at the same time, he's got a to Congress and
Speaker 7: sell themself. There's a lot of or to the Senate
Speaker 7: and sell themself. There's a lot of questions that are
Speaker 7: going to be out there. He's got to answer those
Speaker 7: questions and hopefully he's able to answer the questions right
Speaker 7: and if he can, then we'll we'll go through the
Speaker 7: confirmation process.
Speaker 1: That's good. That's some good strategy there from Mark Quinn.
Speaker 1: I think that's perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 3: I suppose if you if you hate Trump, you would say,
Speaker 3: look at the Republicans scared to oppose their their God
Speaker 3: or whatever. But I think that's perfectly reasonable. Like as
Speaker 3: written in the Constitution, the president gets to choose his cabinet,
Speaker 3: and the role of the Senate is then to have
Speaker 3: them come before them ask them questions. And then you know,
Speaker 3: approve or not. And so that's that's not unreasonable to
Speaker 3: say what he said at all.
Speaker 1: And if Senator Mullen is part of the committee that's
Speaker 1: actually going to and the Senate is the entire committee
Speaker 1: that is going to consider the nomination, I think it
Speaker 1: would be untoward. It would be improper for him to
Speaker 1: announce a prejudgment honestly, right now that he is the nominee.
Speaker 1: It's like some of the things Thatmocrats did to smear
Speaker 1: the name of Brett Kavanaugh. That's that's terrible, it's awful,
Speaker 1: it's unacceptable. So, yeah, Mark Wayne said exactly the right thing. Hey,
Speaker 1: he was nominated, we'll give him a fair hearing. Do
Speaker 1: you any I think that's that's a flip flopping at
Speaker 1: all or being a hypocrite, Not in the least.
Speaker 3: No, I don't either, And I am, as I've stated
Speaker 3: many times throughout the show, not a Matt Gate fan.
Speaker 3: I wish Trump hadn't made that choice. I hope he
Speaker 3: doesn't get confirmed. But that's just my position.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that once we get into the
Speaker 1: hearing room and the questions and answers start flying, Mark
Speaker 1: Wayne is going to squat the Gates nomination aside, like
Speaker 1: he's tried to touch one of Mark Wayne's children inappropriately.
Speaker 1: The brawny mister Mullen.
Speaker 4: Would he say something like, uh, it's not a legal question.
Speaker 3: But would he say something like, do you remember when
Speaker 3: you used to show me videos of all the girls
Speaker 3: you were having sex with back when on the house.
Speaker 4: Floor, back when we were both house members? You remember that?
Speaker 1: That would be an odd question.
Speaker 4: Would that be out of bounds?
Speaker 6: Do you think?
Speaker 1: No? I don't think it would be.
Speaker 3: It's if I don't think that kind of guy should
Speaker 3: be Attorney general.
Speaker 1: It's appropriateness is murky. But you would have to de
Speaker 1: murk it as you as you asked it. You'd have
Speaker 1: to say, look, if there's all sorts of impropriety flying around,
Speaker 1: obviously your tenure would be blah blah blah blah. And
Speaker 1: so I'm asking you this to establish whether you'd want
Speaker 1: to frame it.
Speaker 3: Does it have to be a legal judgment or is
Speaker 3: it like impeachment where it can just be Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think this is an impeachable event.
Speaker 4: I mean, do you have to go up there?
Speaker 3: You have to go after something that that Matt Gates,
Speaker 3: that that is illegal or can you flat out stay
Speaker 3: I just don't like that kind of guy.
Speaker 4: I don't want that kind of guy to be attorney general.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: The second absolutely is it's advice. And is that a
Speaker 3: legal hearing at all?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a is this so bad for the country,
Speaker 1: we're going to veto the president's pick?
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's the question, because there is that whole The
Speaker 3: president is selected by the people. It's the biggest number
Speaker 3: of people making the loudest noise. He's about what they want,
Speaker 3: and he gets to pick who he wants to help
Speaker 3: him with that job.
Speaker 1: Is a you know, an argument, and some people might
Speaker 1: resent that, but A we got a constitution. B. Perhaps
Speaker 1: you've heard the phrase checks and balances. This is that
Speaker 1: at work.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: My favorite thing that I've learned in the last couple
Speaker 4: of years.
Speaker 3: And because I hear it thrown around a lot, I
Speaker 3: think it's worth pointing out.
Speaker 1: We do not have coequal branches of government.
Speaker 3: I grew up my whole life thinking that was true
Speaker 3: because I'd heard it over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: The reason you hear it over and over again originally
Speaker 3: Woodrow Wilson throw that out to try to make some
Speaker 3: argument why the president got to do.
Speaker 1: X Y or z.
Speaker 3: And then Richard Nixon really leaned on in in the
Speaker 3: seventies for why he could do X Y or Z
Speaker 3: around the whole Watergate thing. Look, we're a coequal branch.
Speaker 3: That's actually not the way it's set up. The Congress
Speaker 3: is more powerful than the other two, the best example
Speaker 3: being Congress can remove anybody in the government, from the
Speaker 3: President to a Supreme Court justice, to other members of
Speaker 3: their body the Supreme Court, and the executive branch has
Speaker 3: no ability whatsoever to get rid of the lowliest two
Speaker 3: year elected congressperson in America.
Speaker 4: That's all you need to.
Speaker 1: Know, right right, and certainly more evidence of that as
Speaker 1: the Constitution opens with we the people of the United States,
Speaker 1: we got to have a country worth a damn Okay,
Speaker 1: now let's get down to business. Article one, the legislative
Speaker 1: related branch. Let's talk about the legislative branch. And they
Speaker 1: lay out to the House and the Senate and the
Speaker 1: rest of it at length before they even get around
Speaker 1: to uh and and and when I say at length,
Speaker 1: I mean at length before they get to the executive branch.
Speaker 3: But isn't that something that all the way up to
Speaker 3: the president of the United States, the entire executive branch
Speaker 3: or the entire judicial branch. The Supreme Court cannot remove
Speaker 3: some lowly congressperson from middle of Montana who represents harvary
Speaker 3: thousand people.
Speaker 1: They just have no power to do that.
Speaker 3: Whereas the House can decide that this president's got to go,
Speaker 3: the chief Justice of the Supreme Court has got to go.
Speaker 1: That is not co equal. Yeah, the uh, I'm just
Speaker 1: I've got my pocket copy of the Constitution here and
Speaker 1: the Bill of Rights and all the amendments, and it's
Speaker 1: like five one, two three, and that's our five. We
Speaker 1: call this counting on the radio. It's one of our
Speaker 1: most beloved seconds. Yeah, it's there's five pages about Congress
Speaker 1: and two pages about the executive branch.
Speaker 3: And that's one of the reasons we're in such a mess,
Speaker 3: is that the most powerful branch of our three branches
Speaker 3: no longer does its job lots of the time.
Speaker 1: Oh no, And I would suggest that it is a weak,
Speaker 1: little punk compared to the executive branch, which is an
Speaker 1: unfortunate inversion slash per version of the founder's wishes.
Speaker 3: Marshally, because we're so into the whole personalities thing. So
Speaker 3: you let the person, the big personality that is the president,
Speaker 3: do all kinds of stuff that they have no business doing.
Speaker 3: The House of the Senate should say, well, you can't
Speaker 3: do that. We do that, and we'll decide if that's
Speaker 3: a good idea or not. But what do you think
Speaker 3: you're doing? Which is the way it used to be.
Speaker 3: Like the Senate and House used to have like real
Speaker 3: institutional like they protect themselves. They you know, they believed
Speaker 3: in themselves. They had a lot of self respect. That's
Speaker 3: what I'm looking for. And they lost that somewhere along
Speaker 3: the line, right right well, as historians remind us. James
Speaker 3: Madison in a conversation with Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin said, Hey,
Speaker 3: people really like having kings. This constitution you're working on,
Speaker 3: you think you can stave that off. Madison replied, listen,
Speaker 3: I've done five hundred computer simulations. I think I can
Speaker 3: buy you two hundred and fifty years. And Franklin said,
Speaker 3: you know, good enough, good enough.
Speaker 1: But people want a king, you want a single figure
Speaker 1: of power.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite stories to do this is from
Speaker 3: one of the Carol books about Lyndon Johnson Rayburn. Sam Rayburn,
Speaker 3: who was the Speaker of the House for like thirty
Speaker 3: years or something like that, back when the Democrats always
Speaker 3: controlled the House of Representatives and went back when Congress
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Asserted their power.
Speaker 3: There is some argument I don't remember what it was
Speaker 3: with Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother went to
Speaker 3: Sam Rayburn and was complaining about this or saying like that,
Speaker 3: or you need to do this, and Sam Rayburn says,
Speaker 3: you tell the president that if he wants anything done,
Speaker 3: he better come talk to the Speaker of the House
Speaker 3: of Representatives and shut the door on him, because that's
Speaker 3: the way you get to talk to the president. When
Speaker 3: you're the Speaker of the House. I am more powerful
Speaker 3: than you. You need something, you better come ask me.
Speaker 3: But that's not the way Congress looks at it anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is not good.
Speaker 3: They should be writing immigration law and deciding whether or
Speaker 3: not college students get their student loans taken away or whatever,
Speaker 3: not the president.
Speaker 1: Right, it's very frustrated and certainly not creating agencies than
Speaker 1: telling the president, you know, have them write whatever laws
Speaker 1: they want and penalties and the hell even have them
Speaker 1: have their own courts and we just we won't say
Speaker 1: anything or do anything, because if you do something, you
Speaker 1: might do the wrong thing and then we wouldn't get reelected. So,
Speaker 1: if you'll excuse me, I got to go raise some money.
Speaker 3: Oh by the way, one quick thing, and one of
Speaker 3: the reasons that speakers of the House have been scared
Speaker 3: of the president was the new rule that just one
Speaker 3: person could call for a vote and have you, you know,
Speaker 3: boosted out. So if you could get one House member
Speaker 3: loyal to the president Matt Gates, to want to boost
Speaker 3: out the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, the president
Speaker 3: could do that. Yesterday, they at least have made the
Speaker 3: first motions towards changing that from.
Speaker 1: One to nine.
Speaker 3: You would need nine House members to get together and
Speaker 3: want to oust the speaker before you could do it.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking, which seems like a more workable number.
Speaker 1: You can't have the tip of the tail wagging the dog.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: We will finish strong next. RFK Junior reveals what Trump's
Speaker 3: diet is like, having flown on the plane with him
Speaker 3: throughout the campaign, I will reveal that from my final thought,
Speaker 3: Oh my, so I don't know what it is with
Speaker 3: the media, from you know, the mainstream kind of silly
Speaker 3: media to the very very serious media. But they just
Speaker 3: had another big hearing about UFOs or you a VS
Speaker 3: or what are we supposed to call him now? UAPs
Speaker 3: Unidentified anomalous phenomena.
Speaker 1: It's what are we politically correct? Here? You go from
Speaker 1: you know, handicapped to handy capable to whatever.
Speaker 3: I just can't but UFOs is stuff flying around, So
Speaker 3: this could this also be like if you got a
Speaker 3: poltergeist in your ceiling.
Speaker 1: For instance. But I am paragraphs into this Wall Street
Speaker 1: journal piece about the hearing the other day, and you
Speaker 1: had a bunch of Pentagon officials, former Pentagon officials saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of stuff out there that the government
Speaker 1: is covering up. But and every news story does this,
Speaker 1: I think to keep you tuned in or because it's
Speaker 1: kind of fun. They never get to a look, are
Speaker 1: we talking about freaking space aliens? Are we talking about
Speaker 1: probably military terrestrial military craft? But they never get into
Speaker 1: that until like, way way deep into the articles. So
Speaker 1: it's more fun to talk about I.
Speaker 3: Guess is that because either in the committee or if
Speaker 3: you're the journalist, the article or the committee hearing would
Speaker 3: be over.
Speaker 4: In like two minutes if you did that, So you
Speaker 4: leave that to the end.
Speaker 1: Is that why? I don't know. I would think there's
Speaker 1: plenty of interest in Hey, we got some stuff on
Speaker 1: the radar. Our pilots have seen it. We can't identify it.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the bottom of it. You need not
Speaker 1: bring into that, Oh, do aliens exist? To alien autopsies?
Speaker 3: Little agreement?
Speaker 1: Why is that even part of this discussion. I don't know.
Speaker 3: You can't make a logical argument for why there would
Speaker 3: be intelligent life at the level somewhere in the universe
Speaker 3: that it can travel through solar systems because nobody believes
Speaker 3: it's in our solar system all the way here and
Speaker 3: then hang around for some reason and.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't and would bother to maintain secrets?
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, exactly. I mean, it just doesn't make any
Speaker 4: logical sense.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I could cook up a scenario, but
Speaker 1: please Anyway, the Department has previously said there's no evidence
Speaker 1: that UFO sightings are alien spacecraft. Okay, good, all right, great,
Speaker 1: But whether they are, what are they? That's the question?
Speaker 8: What are they?
Speaker 1: Here's your host final thoughts, Joe Getty, and I'm afraid
Speaker 1: we don't have time for the utterly stupid grand standing
Speaker 1: by some of the people on the committee, but trust me,
Speaker 1: it was stupid. Let's get a final thought from everybody
Speaker 1: on the crew, starting with our technical director Michael Angelo.
Speaker 1: Michael final thought, Yeah, you can watch the Matts Gates
Speaker 1: send It confirmation hearing on c SPAN between ten pm
Speaker 1: and six am during the Safe Harbor hours. Beautiful. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: said Katie Greener, esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie,
Speaker 1: speaking of UFOs, I saw mem years ago. It was
Speaker 1: a picture of an alien looking down at Earth and
Speaker 1: they were going f that. Yeah, no, getting we're out.
Speaker 1: It's like you start to check into a hotel and
Speaker 1: you see rats running around and all You're like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to stay here. Jack final thought RFK Junior.
Speaker 3: Is he going to be the Secretary of HHS or
Speaker 3: surgeon General?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But he flew around with Trump on Trump's playing during
Speaker 3: the campaign, which is like a grueling, grueling job that
Speaker 3: most thirty five year olds couldn't do, but nearly eighty
Speaker 3: Trump did it. And RFK Junior said, it's true. I
Speaker 3: watched him eat every day. He eats mostly KFC and
Speaker 3: Big Max. Wow, what incredible what kind of metabolism does
Speaker 3: he has it and allows him to do what he
Speaker 3: does and still be alive. My final thought, All legislative
Speaker 3: powers herein granted, shall be vested in a Congress of
Speaker 3: the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and
Speaker 3: a House of Representatives.
Speaker 1: All legislative power. It's from the Constitution. Huh, love it
Speaker 1: or leave it?
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getdy RABBI up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1: So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
Speaker 1: Armstrong getdy dot com. Pick up an A and G
Speaker 1: present for your favorite AG fan the Ang Store. It's
Speaker 1: right there. I'm strong in Giddy dot com.
Speaker 4: We'll see tomorrow. God bless America.
Speaker 1: I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 2: And this is in the context of what is one
Speaker 2: of the most jaw dropping days in the last ten years.
Speaker 7: I would describe of it as God t your level trolling.
Speaker 1: There were verbal gats.
Speaker 7: You could literally hear the jaws dropping to the floor.
Speaker 4: One official saying this can't be real.
Speaker 1: Anyone else humping the meltdown.
Speaker 7: We're gonna be okay, Bye bye, Armstrong and Getty
