WEBVTT - Quick, Open Twitter, Save the Painting! 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.770 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:05.809 --> 0:00:10.050 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.250 --> 0:00:11.600 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:17.300 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.770 And finally, KFC has partnered with cereal brand Surreal to 0:00:26.829 --> 0:00:30.970 introduce a new Kentucky fried chicken flavored cereal. This news 0:00:31.050 --> 0:00:36.150 first reported at the United Nations. We have big things 0:00:36.190 --> 0:00:37.050 that are happening. 0:00:38.780 --> 0:00:41.720 Finally, KFC just released a new cereal that tastes like 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.760 fried chicken. And they recommended topping it with gravy instead 0:00:45.780 --> 0:00:49.040 of milk. They even have a good slogan for it, 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.860 make your arteries snap, crackle, and pop. 0:00:52.590 --> 0:00:56.650 The gravy's a joke, but KFC flavored cereal. I will 100% 0:00:56.650 --> 0:00:59.569 try that. First time I see it, I will. 0:01:00.450 --> 0:01:03.250 A bowl full of chicken, yes. Welcome to the Armstrong 0:01:03.310 --> 0:01:03.870 and Getty Show. 0:01:03.910 --> 0:01:06.010 Joe Getty, he's half of the name of the show. So, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.420 you know, you paid for the whole thing. You should 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.979 get the whole thing. 0:01:11.300 --> 0:01:13.880 You know this about me. I'm a conscientious objector when 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.440 it comes to stunt foods. I won't acknowledge their existence. 0:01:17.060 --> 0:01:20.390 I'm against them in principle. It's part of the degeneration 0:01:20.410 --> 0:01:22.270 of Western society, stump foods. 0:01:23.050 --> 0:01:24.350 I don't know if that's a stump food, if they're 0:01:24.370 --> 0:01:25.310 actually going to sell it. 0:01:28.250 --> 0:01:31.010 You know, I was listening to whichever joke included the 0:01:31.069 --> 0:01:34.030 gravy reference. I thought, well, do you just eat chicken then? 0:01:34.940 --> 0:01:36.300 Yeah. 0:01:36.420 --> 0:01:40.200 Hey, we were just, during news, we were on that 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:46.320 topic of wine. Another one of your really big been-around-for-generations 0:01:46.420 --> 0:01:48.300 wineries announced they're closing down. 0:01:49.590 --> 0:01:53.070 And so I have a theory on that. 0:01:53.090 --> 0:01:56.320 We all know young people are drinking less, but did 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.460 wine have the same thing happen to it that happened 0:01:59.500 --> 0:02:04.760 to golfing and Harleys, where it got really, really popular 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.900 for a while, and then just for whatever reasons of 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.000 changing tastes and attitudes, it got less popular? 0:02:12.590 --> 0:02:14.690 Boy, you know, that's an interesting theory. 0:02:14.750 --> 0:02:18.760 I will tell you, golf is... every bit as popular now, 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.019 like watching golf on TV, the tiger days, those are gone. 0:02:22.060 --> 0:02:25.120 But in COVID just every golf club in America filled 0:02:25.250 --> 0:02:30.310 up huge waiting lists. Um, but you know, that's an 0:02:30.350 --> 0:02:36.220 interesting question. I just, I think alcohol consumption is so 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:42.200 just notably, shockingly down among, you know, the under 40 crowd. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.139 It's just killing the industry. Whether there was some sort 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.489 of artificial bubble. I know that's true of bourbon. I'm 0:02:48.530 --> 0:02:52.190 aware of the bourbon craze where it used to be 0:02:52.210 --> 0:02:55.690 the bottom shelf whiskey. It's corn liquor. And all of 0:02:55.750 --> 0:02:58.160 a sudden, I don't know, and I don't want to 0:02:58.180 --> 0:03:00.460 be too harsh in case some of my bourbon enthusiasts 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.060 friends are listening, but everybody started acting like he was 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:03.919 the nectar. 0:03:03.620 --> 0:03:05.139 Of the gods, and it's just not. 0:03:06.020 --> 0:03:09.480 And so finally, everybody figured that out. 0:03:09.740 --> 0:03:12.630 Now there's bourbon companies that, you know, geared up for 0:03:12.650 --> 0:03:17.370 the bourbon craze. They have 10 years of stock sitting 0:03:17.450 --> 0:03:19.649 in their warehouses and barrels, and they have no idea 0:03:19.669 --> 0:03:20.270 what to do with it. 0:03:21.150 --> 0:03:25.160 Yeah, so that's tough for the whole wine thing. We've 0:03:25.180 --> 0:03:27.239 talked about this many times before, but I don't remember 0:03:27.260 --> 0:03:28.980 if there are stats on this. Did a lot of, 0:03:29.100 --> 0:03:32.440 did a lot, but enough people start smoking pot instead? 0:03:34.060 --> 0:03:35.400 That's got to be a factor. 0:03:35.620 --> 0:03:36.780 I would think so. 0:03:36.780 --> 0:03:38.820 2% or 7%. I have no idea, but it's a 0:03:38.860 --> 0:03:42.040 factor for sure. I just want to tell the good 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:48.040 folks in Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Amador County, all 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.900 over California's wine regions, by God, we did our best 0:03:51.980 --> 0:03:56.760 last night to support y'all. We struck a blow, okay? 0:03:57.020 --> 0:04:00.220 Fantastic. Maybe you can keep a winery open on your own. 0:04:02.850 --> 0:04:04.290 I'm accepting offers. Yeah. 0:04:04.530 --> 0:04:07.820 This is where you have been missed over the last 0:04:07.860 --> 0:04:11.300 couple of days on this topic, because I am actually 0:04:11.340 --> 0:04:13.980 the Wall Street Journal editorial board seemed to agree with 0:04:14.020 --> 0:04:14.620 me on Monday. 0:04:15.410 --> 0:04:16.230 All this U.N. 0:04:16.290 --> 0:04:19.529 Talk and the white tie dinner dinner that Trump's having 0:04:19.570 --> 0:04:24.570 a sheet, mostly fluff. Very, very, very little comes out 0:04:24.620 --> 0:04:25.240 of these things. 0:04:25.300 --> 0:04:25.960 Tell me I'm wrong. 0:04:27.010 --> 0:04:29.330 Well, one at a time. The UN, I would just 0:04:29.450 --> 0:04:34.310 like to... Hang on, let me flip to it. I 0:04:34.330 --> 0:04:40.900 just hear Millet, my libertarian Argentinian dog-cloning hero, who I'm 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:41.860 sure you've quoted. 0:04:42.230 --> 0:04:44.410 I haven't today. I forgot about that. Yes, that's a 0:04:44.430 --> 0:04:44.770 good one. 0:04:45.630 --> 0:04:48.390 He said basically what I've been saying about the UN yesterday. 0:04:49.190 --> 0:04:49.690 I've got it. 0:04:50.350 --> 0:04:53.940 Let's see. Well, he said that the UN has broken 0:04:53.980 --> 0:04:56.540 its covenant. It's not what it claimed to be. A 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.320 bunch of noble words. That's to say it has become 0:04:59.339 --> 0:05:02.789 a useless organization whose only purpose is to sustain a 0:05:02.850 --> 0:05:07.870 cast of fatally arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:09.350 Booyah! 0:05:10.770 --> 0:05:15.109 Yeah, and that's, you know, that's exciting language and everything 0:05:15.150 --> 0:05:16.909 like that, but it's also just very, very true. 0:05:18.130 --> 0:05:20.310 Yeah, and you know the funny thing, I was thinking 0:05:20.330 --> 0:05:22.150 about how great the speech was, and he went on 0:05:22.170 --> 0:05:25.700 and on. He absolutely blasted COVID shutdowns, which I thought 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.880 was wonderful. Then it occurred to me, these, again, to 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:35.080 quote him, fatally arrogant parasite, he is well-intentioned bureaucrat, they 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.049 hear that stuff and they laugh, and they go back 0:05:37.060 --> 0:05:38.070 to their cocktail parties. 0:05:38.460 --> 0:05:38.620 Right. 0:05:39.770 --> 0:05:41.990 And the number of people that heard that speech would 0:05:42.050 --> 0:05:45.050 be less than one percent. 0:05:44.790 --> 0:05:45.470 Would be my guess. 0:05:46.230 --> 0:05:47.770 Oh, yeah. 0:05:47.910 --> 0:05:50.150 I almost dropped my phone. Yeah. Yeah. 0:05:50.190 --> 0:05:50.790 Very, very small. 0:05:51.210 --> 0:05:52.220 And the the. 0:05:52.190 --> 0:05:55.900 Welcome my good close pal Xi Jinping to this white 0:05:55.960 --> 0:06:02.460 tie dinner thing. Speaking of percentages, will that make 1% 0:06:02.460 --> 0:06:04.750 of a difference in the relationship with China going forward? 0:06:04.770 --> 0:06:06.530 God, I don't think so. I just find it hard 0:06:06.550 --> 0:06:09.830 to believe. They got a 100-year plan of things they're 0:06:09.870 --> 0:06:11.570 going to do, and they're going to keep doing them. 0:06:11.630 --> 0:06:16.850 And whether they have roasted sea bass, I think they're having, 0:06:16.970 --> 0:06:19.950 or something different, or Trump meets him on the tarmac, 0:06:20.010 --> 0:06:21.349 or meets him in front of the White House, none 0:06:21.370 --> 0:06:23.770 of that stuff I can imagine matters at all. 0:06:25.290 --> 0:06:29.550 I recommend a nice California Sauvignon Blanc with that sea bass. But, yeah, 0:06:29.570 --> 0:06:31.940 the idea that Xi Jinping would go to the Politburo 0:06:32.390 --> 0:06:35.039 and say, you know, that whole we've got to take 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.240 over the globe and subjugate the U.S. and instill communism 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:40.940 all over the world. We've got to forget about that 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.240 because that Donald Trump was really nice to me. 0:06:43.700 --> 0:06:49.390 I mean, come on. Don't even. So there's that. Trump 0:06:50.089 --> 0:06:52.080 was again. I had something else I was going to say. 0:06:52.089 --> 0:06:52.510 I don't remember. 0:06:52.650 --> 0:06:56.070 Oh, the Iranians. So this is fairly new information. One 0:06:56.089 --> 0:07:00.080 of your top Iranian dudes, because they're there in. New 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.020 York and getting interviewed around the whole United Nations thing 0:07:04.060 --> 0:07:06.610 this week. One of your top Iranians just said the 0:07:06.930 --> 0:07:09.910 United States has four to five days to follow through 0:07:10.150 --> 0:07:12.770 on the things we've demanded, which sounded more like a 0:07:12.830 --> 0:07:15.050 threat than anything anybody's heard out of Iran in a 0:07:15.070 --> 0:07:17.490 long time. We have four to five days to follow 0:07:17.510 --> 0:07:19.910 through on the things you want or what he didn't say. 0:07:21.860 --> 0:07:23.940 Oh, my God. I'm sure they're going to send their 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.720 latest batch of missiles that they've hastily constructed toward our 0:07:26.740 --> 0:07:31.020 military bases. I hope we've hardened our defenses somehow. 0:07:30.700 --> 0:07:33.850 To protect our guys. Yeah. 0:07:33.870 --> 0:07:36.489 Well, that one feels like it's on hold, too. I mean... 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.710 Where's the progress directionally? Well, I guess the answer is 0:07:42.170 --> 0:07:44.690 we're still choking their economy, and it's getting worse and worse, 0:07:44.770 --> 0:07:48.010 and you just kind of wait for that to play out. 0:07:48.670 --> 0:07:50.470 Well, I was going to get into some polling a 0:07:50.510 --> 0:07:53.610 little bit later from one of your top internal pollsters 0:07:53.630 --> 0:07:56.590 that Mark Halpern actually said he got the permission to 0:07:56.650 --> 0:08:01.460 print out yesterday. Republicans view of the war with Iran 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.190 is really in the toilet. And this is like this 0:08:06.330 --> 0:08:09.870 is like what the bailout was for Obama in the 0:08:09.910 --> 0:08:13.030 rise of the Tea Party level. People are unhappy in 0:08:13.070 --> 0:08:15.330 the Republican Party, the war with Iran for all kinds 0:08:15.350 --> 0:08:17.490 of different reasons. I mean, it is just really gone 0:08:17.530 --> 0:08:20.780 off a cliff in recent weeks. It was already unpopular, 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.700 but it's gotten way more unpopular. 0:08:23.750 --> 0:08:24.620 Right, right. 0:08:25.420 --> 0:08:27.760 I'll be interested to hear the results of that poll, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.000 and particularly if they drill down a little bit into 0:08:30.050 --> 0:08:33.709 the why's people believe what they believe, because not everybody 0:08:33.750 --> 0:08:37.089 has a radio show slash podcast. And, you know, their 0:08:37.250 --> 0:08:39.650 actual view might be a little nuanced, but when you're 0:08:39.670 --> 0:08:42.490 just asked thumbs up or thumbs down and you just 0:08:42.630 --> 0:08:45.460 hate the way the wars, the prosecutor, how it's going, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.980 you're going to say thumbs down, even if you agree 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.300 that Iran can't get a nuke. 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:50.840 So, yeah. Wow. 0:08:51.140 --> 0:08:55.080 I'd heard the numbers were pretty miserable, but, you know, well, 0:08:55.100 --> 0:08:56.939 the the the. 0:08:56.660 --> 0:08:59.130 The percentage of people who think there is no plan 0:08:59.190 --> 0:09:03.089 for ending this, for instance, it's like 80 percent of Republicans. 0:09:03.590 --> 0:09:08.610 And I think the constant, I'm going to obliterate them, 0:09:08.809 --> 0:09:11.570 then you back off at midnight tonight, I'm going to, 0:09:11.650 --> 0:09:14.230 then an hour before you stop. I think that over time, 0:09:14.290 --> 0:09:17.830 the cumulative effect of that is, okay, this is just ridiculous, 0:09:17.990 --> 0:09:19.210 is where we've landed. 0:09:20.250 --> 0:09:24.890 Well, yeah, clearly I have chatted with conservatives from very, 0:09:24.929 --> 0:09:30.500 very Trumpy to kind of never Trumpy. the same reaction 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.600 to that stuff just rolling their eyes and shaking their 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.400 heads and saying what the hell is that. 0:09:35.620 --> 0:09:38.650 I don't know yeah i i honestly i don't even 0:09:38.690 --> 0:09:41.710 really have a guess what kind of an adult you 0:09:41.730 --> 0:09:44.610 know who's been around the world and particularly a business 0:09:44.690 --> 0:09:48.089 guy who's had so many negotiations in his life goes 0:09:48.130 --> 0:09:50.449 around making threats like that all the time and then 0:09:50.510 --> 0:09:54.069 not following through it's just it's i'm i'm as mystified 0:09:54.130 --> 0:09:57.010 by that as practically anything any president has ever done. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.890 I guess we could get into psychoanalyzing him. but that's 0:10:01.950 --> 0:10:05.429 a muddy, mucky field you get stuck in. Is it 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.680 because when you're doing a hotel, if you intimidate the 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.920 plumbing contractor once, you don't have to deal with them again? 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.650 You're on to another project? I don't know. But it's odd. 0:10:16.730 --> 0:10:20.309 And I get that people are disgusted, even if, again, 0:10:20.870 --> 0:10:23.330 they're hardcore that the mullahs can't have a nuke, which 0:10:23.390 --> 0:10:25.000 I think most of humanity agrees on. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:26.400 Oh, yeah. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.040 I'm looking up at the TV. 0:10:28.110 --> 0:10:32.209 They're reviewing that Elizabeth Holmes documentary we were talking about 0:10:32.250 --> 0:10:34.790 last hour. Man, that looks good. I just saw all 0:10:34.809 --> 0:10:39.699 the reviews of that. People say it's fantastic. And we 0:10:39.740 --> 0:10:42.160 played the clip from it a couple of weeks ago, 0:10:42.179 --> 0:10:43.960 but I hadn't watched the video. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.290 The video. Holy crap. What is the deal with her? 0:10:48.260 --> 0:10:50.189 She looks like she's possessed, doesn't she? 0:10:50.309 --> 0:10:50.710 She does. 0:10:50.730 --> 0:10:54.890 She's got her eyes wide and giving you that insane 0:10:54.990 --> 0:10:55.830 look constantly. 0:10:55.870 --> 0:10:59.890 She never blinks. She looks like she thinks she can 0:10:59.950 --> 0:11:01.350 control you with her eyeballs. 0:11:02.309 --> 0:11:02.709 Yes. 0:11:03.850 --> 0:11:04.230 Yes. 0:11:04.890 --> 0:11:07.830 And apparently she can because she met with people around 0:11:07.890 --> 0:11:11.819 the world and raised billions of dollars on a phony thing. 0:11:11.860 --> 0:11:13.719 So maybe she could look at you with those big 0:11:13.860 --> 0:11:15.880 eyes and get you to do all kinds of weird stuff. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:16.340 I don't know. 0:11:17.450 --> 0:11:19.290 I don't know. I'd just find it off-putting. 0:11:20.250 --> 0:11:21.660 Yeah, it would have creeped me out. I'd have been like, 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:22.620 why are you looking at me like that? 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.500 I'd have found myself looking away a lot. 0:11:25.740 --> 0:11:26.500 Oh, right. Yeah. 0:11:26.700 --> 0:11:29.000 Somebody who has too much eye contact, and you're like, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.310 I gotta look away. You're weirding me out here, dude. 0:11:32.370 --> 0:11:35.050 You know, you make a good point, though. Because in 0:11:35.070 --> 0:11:37.810 the documentary, she comes off as completely looney tunes, but... 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.939 And she was duping, allegedly, you know, like super heavyweights 0:11:43.020 --> 0:11:45.040 of world diplomacy and industry. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:11:48.070 --> 0:11:50.209 Yeah, it wasn't that she went out there and she 0:11:50.309 --> 0:11:53.209 fooled dumb people like with a Ponzi scheme or something 0:11:53.230 --> 0:11:55.870 like that. She was convincing some of the smartest people 0:11:55.910 --> 0:11:57.670 in the world so she can look at you with 0:11:57.710 --> 0:12:00.130 those big eyes. Anyway, I'm going to watch that documentary 0:12:00.150 --> 0:12:00.810 the moment it hits. 0:12:02.830 --> 0:12:07.020 To me, it's more like. coming on to men in 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.280 high-dollar hotels and then rolling them when they get to 0:12:10.300 --> 0:12:13.760 the room. She strikes me as more like that than 0:12:14.220 --> 0:12:16.939 bilking former secretaries of state out of millions of dollars, 0:12:16.980 --> 0:12:19.160 but go figure. Yeah, it'll be an interesting watch. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.420 So you're back in the studio tomorrow, correct? 0:12:22.370 --> 0:12:23.040 That is correct, yeah. 0:12:23.110 --> 0:12:25.430 One more day of golf today at the scenic and 0:12:25.470 --> 0:12:29.190 gorgeous Monterey Peninsula Country Club, and then back to work. 0:12:29.790 --> 0:12:31.610 And is this the sort of place other people can play, 0:12:31.630 --> 0:12:33.929 or is this not someplace you've got to know somebody? 0:12:34.860 --> 0:12:36.900 Yeah, you got to be a guest of a member. 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.450 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how exclusive is it? 0:12:40.500 --> 0:12:42.179 Is this the sort of thing like when you tell 0:12:42.220 --> 0:12:42.980 other golfers, you're. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.210 Like, oh, my God, you get to play there? A 0:12:45.230 --> 0:12:45.810 little bit, yeah. 0:12:46.130 --> 0:12:46.410 Oh, cool. 0:12:46.970 --> 0:12:47.170 Yeah. 0:12:47.530 --> 0:12:48.689 And then do you lord it over them? 0:12:51.090 --> 0:12:54.689 No, I act as if it's no big deal, which 0:12:54.770 --> 0:12:56.650 is the best kind of lording it over them. 0:12:56.870 --> 0:12:59.050 Yes. Take that, little people. 0:12:59.090 --> 0:13:01.150 Take that. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.520 Okay, perfect. Well, thanks for calling in. We will talk 0:13:03.540 --> 0:13:03.980 to you tomorrow. 0:13:04.990 --> 0:13:06.630 Of course. Sorry to abandon the show in a time 0:13:06.950 --> 0:13:07.929 of need. I'll see you tomorrow. 0:13:07.970 --> 0:13:11.550 Yeah, the time of need during the UN conference. Yeah, 0:13:11.570 --> 0:13:13.200 that is the best way to lord it over somebody 0:13:13.220 --> 0:13:14.439 like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, I play there. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.179 I play there a lot. Yeah, why? You wanted to 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:18.220 play there? Oh, I'm sorry you haven't. 0:13:22.450 --> 0:13:24.650 Speaking of the kind of people that probably play at 0:13:24.690 --> 0:13:27.170 that golf course, mostly the suit and tie crowd. If 0:13:27.190 --> 0:13:30.170 you think financial planning is only for those people, you 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.179 should think again.

That's the lesbian bar 0:14:35.100 --> 0:14:39.150 that drops its mask mandate and people go crazy there, 0:14:39.210 --> 0:14:42.670 some of the patrons. It's gotten a ton of attention 0:14:42.690 --> 0:14:44.470 in the last couple of days. Well, the free press 0:14:44.490 --> 0:14:46.970 has got a great piece on it today that we'll 0:14:47.010 --> 0:14:49.250 have to get to later this hour. It's such an 0:14:49.330 --> 0:14:54.250 interesting story about the woke crowd and them eating themselves. Again, 0:14:54.330 --> 0:14:56.280 later this hour. Also, we got a great guest. We're 0:14:56.300 --> 0:14:58.030 going to talk to Bill Gertz about China coming up. 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.160 We've talked to him before. He's really good, if you 0:15:00.180 --> 0:15:03.570 haven't heard his act on Trump and Xi and the 0:15:03.590 --> 0:15:07.410 real particulars of the issues between the United States and China. 0:15:08.130 --> 0:15:11.880 This is from Bill Maher. He had Terry Bradshaw on 0:15:11.940 --> 0:15:14.700 his show. If you're old enough, you remember Terry Bradshaw 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.500 was Tom Brady before Tom Brady was Tom Brady. He 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.940 won four Super Bowls back in the 70s. Terry Bradshaw 0:15:19.980 --> 0:15:22.270 is a quarterback. Anyway, Bill Maher was talking to him 0:15:22.330 --> 0:15:26.540 about football then and now. You took hits that no 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.370 quarterback today takes. 0:15:28.450 --> 0:15:30.500 It was a different game in the 70s. 0:15:30.570 --> 0:15:34.600 That's why I'm against comparing statistics. You cannot, as great 0:15:34.630 --> 0:15:37.660 as the quarterbacks are today, they don't, and I'm glad 0:15:37.700 --> 0:15:38.720 that they protect them more. 0:15:39.500 --> 0:15:40.980 They just did not live in the world. But don't 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.140 sit here and tell me that they're better than we were. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.280 In the 70s or the 60s because they didn't play 0:15:45.370 --> 0:15:46.100 under the same. 0:15:45.970 --> 0:15:47.630 Rules where you got slapped in the face. That's what 0:15:47.650 --> 0:15:48.610 I'm saying. Body slammed. 0:15:48.630 --> 0:15:49.010 Yeah, yeah. 0:15:49.170 --> 0:15:50.990 And knocked all over the place and you couldn't throw. 0:15:51.010 --> 0:15:53.090 They played bump and run. You couldn't just stand back 0:15:53.110 --> 0:15:53.680 there and throw it all. 0:15:53.970 --> 0:15:55.410 Oh, he's the greatest player that ever played. 0:15:55.450 --> 0:15:56.730 No, he isn't the greatest player. 0:15:56.930 --> 0:16:00.530 He's maybe the greatest of his decade, but not ever. 0:16:00.610 --> 0:16:02.340 I don't ever use ever. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.440 Yeah, well, that's true about all the sports comparisons over time. Everything, 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.440 the ball in baseball or the way they, the three-point 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.290 line in the NBA or the way they call fouls 0:16:13.350 --> 0:16:15.170 and then the football, all kinds of different stuff. 0:16:15.190 --> 0:16:18.410 But anyway, Terry Bradshaw goes on. Now we have high def. 0:16:19.530 --> 0:16:23.350 We have where we can, where we have 20 tape machines, 0:16:23.350 --> 0:16:24.590 30 cameras. 0:16:25.070 --> 0:16:27.729 Let's slow it down. We're even under the ball where 0:16:27.770 --> 0:16:32.190 they fall down, and we got in slow motion. Oh, 0:16:32.230 --> 0:16:33.050 my God. 0:16:34.030 --> 0:16:38.910 That looks like his jersey moved. And they go, it 0:16:38.930 --> 0:16:40.930 wasn't the fact that we have a perfect game, which 0:16:40.990 --> 0:16:42.930 is what they're trying to get. What made it great 0:16:42.980 --> 0:16:45.900 was collision and pass interference. 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:51.260 And bad calls and the fans being mad. I don't 0:16:51.300 --> 0:16:52.040 know about that. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.400 I'm against the replays constantly, but everybody else seems to 0:16:56.460 --> 0:16:59.910 like it. Yesterday was a major moment in NFL history, 0:16:59.950 --> 0:17:01.710 and then I will move off sports because I know 0:17:01.770 --> 0:17:03.770 it makes some of you mad, but it was 25 0:17:03.770 --> 0:17:09.070 years ago yesterday that Drew Bledsoe, who was the starting 0:17:09.150 --> 0:17:13.619 quarterback for the Patriots, got blasted and hurt. So they 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.460 had to put in their backup some sixth-round draft pick, 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.430 Tom Brady, who Which is the only reason Tom Brady 0:17:21.450 --> 0:17:23.730 got to play is because Drew Bledsoe got hurt and 0:17:23.750 --> 0:17:26.310 they put in Tom Brady and they went on to win. 0:17:26.350 --> 0:17:27.790 I think they won the Super Bowl that year and 0:17:27.810 --> 0:17:32.210 then Tom Brady won seven Super Bowls. So much for 0:17:32.270 --> 0:17:35.010 people being able to evaluate talent if you got Tom 0:17:35.030 --> 0:17:41.859 Brady on the sideline waiting. Game tonight, by the way, Falcons-Packers. 0:17:42.060 --> 0:17:44.120 I have to pick a team to win that game 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.460 because I'm in a pool now and I'm actually winning 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.139 the pool with a bunch of my family. I'm winning 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.340 after two weeks. I don't know anything. I know some, 0:17:53.420 --> 0:17:56.280 but just like a couple of teams and barely. I 0:17:56.300 --> 0:17:59.790 don't watch any games. Like, I'll guess tonight based on nothing. 0:17:59.850 --> 0:18:02.169 I couldn't name a single player on either team, and 0:18:02.210 --> 0:18:04.540 I will pick one. But anyway, I'm currently winning. We're 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.730 going to learn more about the relationship between China and U.S. 0:18:07.869 --> 0:18:09.650 And is it going the right way or the wrong way? 0:18:09.710 --> 0:18:11.109 Or is it going to get any better because of 0:18:11.150 --> 0:18:12.910 the dinner tonight with Trump and Xi? 0:18:12.950 --> 0:18:13.389 I doubt it. 0:18:13.390 --> 0:18:15.810 We'll talk to Bill Gertz next. He's super interesting if 0:18:15.830 --> 0:18:17.210 you haven't heard him. If you miss him, get the 0:18:17.250 --> 0:18:18.790 podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. 0:18:19.490 --> 0:18:20.619 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:22.250 --> 0:18:25.010 Not content to wait at the White House, President Trump 0:18:25.109 --> 0:18:28.810 choppered to Joint Base Andrews this afternoon to greet Chinese 0:18:28.869 --> 0:18:32.930 President Xi Jinping. It's the first time a US president 0:18:32.970 --> 0:18:35.570 has made that gesture for a foreign head of state 0:18:35.950 --> 0:18:36.310 since 1962. 0:18:36.310 --> 0:18:40.580 We're doing very well with China. President Xi and I 0:18:40.619 --> 0:18:43.620 have a good relationship. We're doing very well with China. 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:48.710 And that being the first time in six 60-whatever years 0:18:49.340 --> 0:18:52.060 that a president has met the Chinese leader on the tarmac, 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.440 that and $ 5 will get you a cup of coffee. 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:55.520 Who cares? 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.340 Anyway, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, his name is. 0:19:00.380 --> 0:19:02.359 Wicker, said, Mr. 0:19:02.420 --> 0:19:05.800 President, during every minute of dialogue, our commander-in-chief should keep 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.460 in mind that his guest is a brutal, unelected, and 0:19:08.500 --> 0:19:12.520 oppressive dictator who seeks to dominate his neighbors and whose 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.940 massive military arsenal is aimed directly at the United States 0:19:15.980 --> 0:19:19.910 of America. Yeah, it's interesting that we give Xi such 0:19:19.970 --> 0:19:22.670 a royal treatment, given the fact that all of that 0:19:22.790 --> 0:19:25.710 is very true. We welcome to the Armstrong and Getty 0:19:25.750 --> 0:19:28.550 Show Bill Gertz again to talk about China. He's a 0:19:28.570 --> 0:19:31.590 columnist and reporter with The Washington Times and knows a 0:19:31.630 --> 0:19:32.830
