Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is show Katty Armstrong and Jette and he
Speaker 2: armsdrong live from the studio.
Speaker 3: C see ten you are.
Speaker 2: I just took my pregnant zone as prescribed from my
Speaker 2: Whooping Golf along with Kathy. So I am super amped
Speaker 2: for the Friday edition of The Armstrong and Getty Show
Speaker 2: coming film from forty I've had this head straight in
Speaker 2: my head at one point, coming to you straight from
Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And
Speaker 2: today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3: Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump, salesman in chief.
Speaker 3: There you go, selling them out to the.
Speaker 2: Avirab world, even as they sell themselves to us. They
Speaker 2: all sell each other stuff and get so intertwined. Nobody
Speaker 2: kills anybody anymore. So I just ran over to the
Speaker 2: donut shop because I've had to completely blow up my
Speaker 2: eating routine because I'm on this medicine that you have
Speaker 2: to take with food or you'll get very sick. So
Speaker 2: this is going to be the fattest disease I've ever had.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come out of whooping cough, twenty five pounds
Speaker 2: fatter than I was when I went in, in addition
Speaker 2: to all the other problems. But driving back from the
Speaker 2: donut shop, I was listening to NPR and thinking, man,
Speaker 2: Trump gets more even with all the negative coverage, he
Speaker 2: gets more neutral to just regular presidential coverage now than
Speaker 2: he ever got first term. I was listening to their
Speaker 2: coverage of the Middle Eastern trip and it was just
Speaker 2: pretty neutral, like a regular president, which they never did
Speaker 2: first time around. Right, Yeah, I would agree. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's plenty of Trump derangements c to be had, and
Speaker 2: there's plenty of stuff he's doing that I think is
Speaker 2: semi insane and just bad ideas. But you know what,
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome is a much disgusted phenomenon frequently banned about.
Speaker 2: Is Trump exhaustion syndrome? Too much, too fast? I'm fine
Speaker 2: with that if we don't mention him again the rest
Speaker 2: of the show. I wouldn't. I wouldn't uh, I wouldn't WinCE. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he will still be there on Monday for no kidding. No,
Speaker 2: I can't help, but I feel, as you know, Jack,
Speaker 2: I have a deep psychic connection with our beloved listeners
Speaker 2: and I hear their souls crying out. You needed food
Speaker 2: for your medicine, so you got donuts. There are more
Speaker 2: foods than just donuts. What's open at this time of day?
Speaker 2: A donut shop? Twenty four our grocery store. You could
Speaker 2: have gotten some kale.
Speaker 3: Excuse.
Speaker 2: I used it as an excuse to completely break my
Speaker 2: all my rules. If I'm going in, I'm going on. Plus,
Speaker 2: I'm sick. I've been sick for I've been sick for
Speaker 2: six weeks. I am so tired of being sick. It's
Speaker 2: amazing how depressing that is. It's just depressing. And those
Speaker 2: of you who are chronically ill, you understand. But it's
Speaker 2: sures hour. Michael, I need your wisdom on this. Should
Speaker 2: there be a dread disease exemption for a New Year's resolution? No, no,
Speaker 2: I got something healthy, Wow, fundamentalist Michael Angelo. I was
Speaker 2: going to grant it.
Speaker 4: No, Katie, I'm surprised now, Michael, I disagree. Whatever you want, Jack, Yeah.
Speaker 2: When I get these exemption, yes, yeah. When I get sick,
Speaker 2: it's ramen.
Speaker 4: It's if I want a big mac, I'm eating a
Speaker 4: big mac. I don't care what I ingest if it
Speaker 4: makes me feel good. For five minutes when I feel
Speaker 4: like garbage the rest.
Speaker 5: Of the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do it.
Speaker 2: It's a tough one because obviously your body needs nutrients
Speaker 2: to help fight off the disease and you're doing the opposite.
Speaker 2: But there is the I've been miserable all day long
Speaker 2: and maybe all day to day before, and I'd like
Speaker 2: to not be miserable for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: I actually feel the same as Katie. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to encourage you. That's now. When I had when I
Speaker 2: was doing the chemotherapy thing, I remember saying to the
Speaker 2: doctor is like, the only thing that sounds good is
Speaker 2: like a milkshake or a donut. And because I couldn't
Speaker 2: eat anything, and they said, now is not the time
Speaker 2: to be concerned about your diet, and I took that
Speaker 2: as a green.
Speaker 3: Light for the record.
Speaker 2: I like to feel of a three judge panel there,
Speaker 2: the three judge panel of the Armstrong and Giddy Appeals
Speaker 2: Court getting to the Supreme Court thing from yesterday and ken,
Speaker 2: so do we do we want? Would we want one
Speaker 2: judge like a Michelangelo to hold up the whole thing
Speaker 2: if everybody's secreed, Probably not, Look at Jack tying it
Speaker 2: all together.
Speaker 3: I agree it's a good point.
Speaker 2: We're gonna actually have our friend Tim sanderfer on the
Speaker 2: next hour to talk about that whole thing. I know
Speaker 2: where he stands on it, and I certainly get where
Speaker 2: he's coming from. You don't want everything to stand. You
Speaker 2: probably don't want everything to stand until and unless it
Speaker 2: makes it all the way to the Supreme Court three
Speaker 2: years later. If the Supreme Court sometimes decides, hey, that
Speaker 2: original ruling, none of us think that was a good idea.
Speaker 2: Too bad. You've been doing that for three years. You
Speaker 2: know that sort of thing, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's I'm
Speaker 2: curious to pick his brain about alternatives and solutions we
Speaker 2: might find middle grounds. What I want to ask him
Speaker 2: about is a cultural change. Has there been a cultural
Speaker 2: change among the judges where they feel like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't like Obama, I don't like Biden, I don't
Speaker 2: like Trump. Who whatever your situation is. I'm going to
Speaker 2: hold up what they want to do because I can
Speaker 2: one of the six hundred and eighty five judges in America.
Speaker 2: And another question that we both know the answer to
Speaker 2: before I even finish asking it, has there been a
Speaker 2: cultural change where precedents are much more willing to violate
Speaker 2: the law and or the constitution for jazzing up their
Speaker 2: base purposes, you know, and that I should have said
Speaker 2: that one before I said mine, because that's definitely true,
Speaker 2: and that's puts the judges in a rough position. Presidents
Speaker 2: now are almost certainly true. Yeah, Presidents now are absolutely
Speaker 2: challenging law to see if it will hold up, or
Speaker 2: or sometimes in the case of like certainly with Biden's
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court stuff, because Nancy Pelosi had said it
Speaker 2: one hundred times, knowingly defying the law and knowing it'll
Speaker 2: get shut down, but wanting the political credit.
Speaker 3: For having tried precisely. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's a problem. I don't know what you
Speaker 2: do with that cultural change. Oh yeah, the wobblers that
Speaker 2: you first described. You know, it might be constitutional, and
Speaker 2: we're not sure. That's that's fine, that's the way our
Speaker 2: system works, and that's fine. It's the deliberate flouting of
Speaker 2: the constitution knowing it'll be shot down that annoys the
Speaker 2: crap out of me. But violation of your actually, it
Speaker 2: absolutely is. Yeah, we will discuss that, and questioned Tim closely.
Speaker 3: Can't wait for it again. Next hour.
Speaker 2: So this got me riled up in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night. I was up in the middle of the night, coughing.
Speaker 2: I turned to my phone, which is the way to
Speaker 2: get to sleep staring at your phone. And Bruce Springsteen
Speaker 2: kicked off his world tour in Great Britain and annoyed
Speaker 2: the hell out of me. So that will be how
Speaker 2: we open the show. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty
Speaker 2: on this It is a Friday, May the sixteenth of
Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty five. Were Armstrong and Getty, and
Speaker 2: we approve of this program. I think Bruce annoyed all
Speaker 2: of America.
Speaker 3: Stay with us. Let's begin the show.
Speaker 2: Then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, here we
Speaker 2: go at Mark.
Speaker 5: The Mighty East Street Band is here tonight to call
Speaker 5: upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock
Speaker 5: and roll in dangerous times in my home, the America
Speaker 5: I love, the America I've written.
Speaker 6: About that has been a beacon of hope and liberty
Speaker 6: for two hundred and fifty years, is currently in the
Speaker 6: hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treason astric minister.
Speaker 2: So here's my question for you. If you lean right,
Speaker 2: you've been to many a concert, many a movie, many
Speaker 2: many of whatever where he had to listen to some
Speaker 2: crap and you put up with it. I actually don't
Speaker 2: think I could have stayed at the concert after that.
Speaker 2: I think i'd have thought, I am not gonna be
Speaker 2: part of your deal man, f you. I paid one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty dollars for this ticket, but I'm leaving
Speaker 2: that is. And he goes on and on from there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was just Oh he did.
Speaker 2: There's a lot more to it. Oh three, he does
Speaker 2: it through that's the opening. He does it throughout the
Speaker 2: concert multiple times. Good lord, but the usual, you know,
Speaker 2: crack at the Who's president? If it's a Republican I've
Speaker 2: dealt with We've all dealt with going to concerts our
Speaker 2: whole lives. But the flat out treason is destroying. Shut up,
Speaker 2: you freaking old man guitar players never had a job
Speaker 2: in his life, zillionaire. Yeah, I just I don't think
Speaker 2: I could. I don't think I could stay and enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I think I'd just go out and wait in the
Speaker 2: parking lot. Tell me when it's over, I'll drive you home. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: here here, Yeah, that's too much, especially when he hammered
Speaker 2: it over and over. Years ago, I and several buddies
Speaker 2: went to see Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, and
Speaker 2: he is a this was Trump one term one and
Speaker 2: he's just a frothing mouthed, wild eyed, a nut job
Speaker 2: and be you know, one of those guys who unleashes
Speaker 2: the most fevered rhetoric you could possibly imagine about everything,
Speaker 2: including Trump. And maybe it was just our mood or something,
Speaker 2: because he hammered it a fair amount. But by the
Speaker 2: end my buddies and I were just guffawing because it
Speaker 2: was so over the top and so stupid.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bruce is just the hole tir ring at this point,
Speaker 2: the whole All the cool people agree with me, and
Speaker 2: I'm a cool per something. Screw you, Yeah, that the
Speaker 2: rhetoric is awful enough and one sided enough, you know, especially,
Speaker 2: I mean unmissibly, because working class America is turning toward
Speaker 2: you know who, he's their alleged champion, please is turning
Speaker 2: more and more toward not only the Republicans, but Trump
Speaker 2: in particular. Oh yeah, yeah right, So to willfully ignore
Speaker 2: that fact just as a business person is odd.
Speaker 3: And then and what was the second, it.
Speaker 2: Is surprising that Bruce hasn't thought. I must be missing
Speaker 2: something because the people that I've appealed to my entire
Speaker 2: career really like Trump the way John Stewart did. John
Speaker 2: Stewart hates Trump, but he said, obviously there's something there.
Speaker 2: I've got working class friends who voted for Trump. But
Speaker 2: Bruce is so isolated from anything working class for the
Speaker 2: past three decades.
Speaker 3: How would he know, right?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and then the truly annoying part is kind
Speaker 2: of what you said about all the cool people agree.
Speaker 3: We're all cool here. We all agree.
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's cultish and annoying, you know, calling
Speaker 2: on art and rock and roll and whatever, and obviously
Speaker 2: we all agree. No, I tell you what, how about
Speaker 2: you have enough respect for your audience to understand their
Speaker 2: hair because I like your music and they might actually
Speaker 2: think independently. Here's the good news. I think we learned
Speaker 2: last election, and hopefully this is going forward. It doesn't
Speaker 2: work anymore. It's a net negative. Yeah, Deyonce concert and
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff did them Democrats more harm
Speaker 2: than good. So I think that era is over. Bruce
Speaker 2: doesn't know it, because he's ancient he's ancient and so
Speaker 2: full of self regard he can't think straight. Of one
Speaker 2: final note, at the risk of tearing my rotator cuff,
Speaker 2: patting us both on the back. We are entertainment here.
Speaker 2: What we do is entirely about politics and ideology. That is,
Speaker 2: and you know, culture and fun and humor and the
Speaker 2: rest of it. But I mean a large measure of
Speaker 2: it is what's happening in the world and what does
Speaker 2: everybody think about it? It not playing songs about going
Speaker 2: down to the levee with Mary and she broke my
Speaker 2: heart Now I'm born to run or whatever the hell.
Speaker 2: And we expect that a lot of you will disagree
Speaker 2: with us a lot of the time, and that's fine,
Speaker 2: and we respect it, and we listen and we read
Speaker 2: your emails and think, hey, maybe you got a point there.
Speaker 2: That smug everybody agrees, and if you don't agree, you're
Speaker 2: a fascist, bad person.
Speaker 3: F you.
Speaker 2: God, that is so full of I mean, our relationship
Speaker 2: with you is in a word, respect. Lecturing people as
Speaker 2: if there's no conceivable chance they would disagree is either
Speaker 2: just hubris, the sort of which is disgusting. Sam ut
Speaker 2: a screen door and marrying her dress in the River
Speaker 2: and a Cadillac or something like that.
Speaker 3: Just a complete lack of respect.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I thought that you so annoying? Oh lord?
Speaker 2: Any who? Oh Paul McCartney ought to grab him by
Speaker 2: his working man shirt he's never worn to work and say, listen,
Speaker 2: your stupid idiot. Your crowd now likes that guy, whether
Speaker 2: you agree with that or not. So why don't you
Speaker 2: just shut up and play your hits? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: that's annoying. Uh. We got Katie's headlines on the way.
Speaker 2: What else we got? Oh, it's Friday, so we got clips.
Speaker 3: Of the week.
Speaker 2: Lots of good stuff to talk about. Awesome O A p.
Speaker 2: Didy update. Quite a day yesterday. All on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here. Two things we'll get to former FBI director
Speaker 2: James Comy. Is he going to be arrested for assassination,
Speaker 2: attempt or threat? And Hey, Starbucks baristas, where what the
Speaker 2: boss tells you to wear? Shut up later? Wow, strong opinions,
Speaker 2: brace yourselves. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
Speaker 2: the lead story with Katie Green. Katie hit it all.
Speaker 7: Right, Starting with ABC talks led by US delegation between
Speaker 7: Russia and Ukraine underway in Turkey.
Speaker 2: You might as well have talks between me and my dog. Good.
Speaker 2: That's what most analysts are saying, although it is the
Speaker 2: first actual talks they've had in the full three years
Speaker 2: of the war. Most analysts are mentioning my dog no,
Speaker 2: that these thoughts are gonna get nowhere. And I understand
Speaker 2: why she continues to wear the Trump Book the cone
Speaker 2: of shame rather.
Speaker 3: All yes, yes, back to you.
Speaker 2: Jack Trump just keeps letting Putin off the hook instead
Speaker 2: of putting pressure on him. I don't know what's going
Speaker 2: on there, but he said we're gonna meet soon. We
Speaker 2: gotta meet soon. It's gonna happen, So that'll be something.
Speaker 7: NBC Cassie faces skeptical cross examination from Diddy's defense team.
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll get details coming up.
Speaker 2: On the BBC Supreme Court backs.
Speaker 7: Quote biological definition.
Speaker 3: Of a woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only one. There is anything else that's
Speaker 2: just play acting.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard this.
Speaker 2: I want to hear that.
Speaker 7: From the Wall Street Journal Meta battles a quote epidemic
Speaker 7: of scams as criminals flood Instagram and Facebook.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna bring that up.
Speaker 2: If you're on the GRAM or the book Brace Yourselves
Speaker 2: flood of scams.
Speaker 7: From the Washington Post on a remote island in Australia,
Speaker 7: the birds are so full of plastic they crunch.
Speaker 2: Oh not good, anybody concerned about plastics. Asia churns out
Speaker 2: and throws in the ocean and just out into the environment.
Speaker 2: So many multiples of what the United States does. We
Speaker 2: could eliminate plastic here and still have a huge problem.
Speaker 2: I get a ticket if I don't put my plastic
Speaker 2: bottle in the right container. That's because you live in
Speaker 2: a communist and community.
Speaker 7: From study fines, could one animal have eight brains? Octopus
Speaker 7: set study says kind of.
Speaker 2: The amazing octopus. The more you learn, the more you
Speaker 2: admire them.
Speaker 7: And finally, from the Battle on Bee Home.
Speaker 3: Depot adds self deportation. Kiosks, honey, that is beautiful.
Speaker 2: So that story from the bebe about the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: rules biological definition of woman?
Speaker 3: Is that the British Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: Yes, Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought, so okay.
Speaker 2: I got all excited to fill in my Starbucks story
Speaker 2: really quick. Thousands of Starbucks baristas went on strike to
Speaker 2: protest the new dress code, where the company decided you
Speaker 2: need to wear like a black shirt or black pants
Speaker 2: underneath your green apron and a bunch of I'm not
Speaker 2: striking again. My advice is where what your boss tells
Speaker 2: you to wear, or go somewhere else. You're fired, feel
Speaker 2: free to reapply, but I don't love your chances.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: Do like Reagan did gia air traffic controllers.
Speaker 3: It's quite important, just the whole God.
Speaker 2: I would tell my kids immediately, where what the boss
Speaker 2: tells you to wear? I want to bring my whole
Speaker 2: self to work. Don't armstrong and getty. The whole world
Speaker 2: got to witness that weird hair flippy thingy spinning your
Speaker 2: head thingy yesterday out of the Middle East. That Trump
Speaker 2: hardon me. You didn't see that, No one of the
Speaker 2: many celebrations when Trump's going around with these Middle Eastern countries.
Speaker 2: I had all these long haired women to music, swinging
Speaker 2: their hair around like a line that he walked through.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's entertainment.
Speaker 2: Camels, cyber trucks and hair flippy thingy women.
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, good times, thump said. Trump said, what a culture.
Speaker 3: Trump said, a lot of interesting things. We will bring
Speaker 3: them to you.
Speaker 2: With so many, so many great topics to cover today.
Speaker 2: I vowed to stay until midnight tonight to best serve
Speaker 2: you good people.
Speaker 3: Jack, I hope you're with me.
Speaker 2: The incredibly tall, pompous and nut job James call mey
Speaker 2: former FBI director, is going to be answering questions the
Speaker 2: FBI today for a stupid post he put out yesterday.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that story. But first, it's the Friday tradition.
Speaker 2: Let's take a fond look back at the week that was.
Speaker 2: It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 3: You're saying he's dead. That is a truth.
Speaker 2: Tap lights are blinking, the sirens are turning. Josh wis
Speaker 2: the week McDonald Squish Mellows Happy Mal twenty twenty five reviews.
Speaker 2: I noticed it right away. The tea is missing, just
Speaker 2: says are unp it says Rump.
Speaker 3: Is there anything in.
Speaker 1: There that makes it clear that it's a big kidney No,
Speaker 1: exactly like any one one.
Speaker 2: I don't see much sense and putting me on the
Speaker 2: ballot after I die, I say.
Speaker 3: Dig up his bones and reban them. Every thought.
Speaker 2: It the drastic de escalation in the trade war between
Speaker 2: the United States and China, so there is a chance
Speaker 2: to rebalance together.
Speaker 3: This is not a political conference. This is a business conference.
Speaker 2: I want to make a deal with Iran. I want
Speaker 2: to do something that is possible.
Speaker 3: There's two steps. Is a very very nice step, and
Speaker 3: there's a violent step.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do the second step. The equipment
Speaker 2: that we use, much of it, we can't buy parts
Speaker 2: for now.
Speaker 3: We have to go on eBay and buy parts.
Speaker 2: Any of the representatives that were there, you lay a
Speaker 2: finger on them, we are going to have a problem.
Speaker 3: You can't intimidate me.
Speaker 2: Come on, give me a break. You know I was
Speaker 2: wearing a green uniform barbitu rel agent for five years
Speaker 2: before she was even born. Eighty five year old Motown
Speaker 2: Legends Smokie Robinson has been accused of sexual assault by
Speaker 2: four of his former housekeepers. Robinson plans to beat the
Speaker 2: charges by being dead soon. The bottom line is the
Speaker 2: White House was lying not only to the press, not
Speaker 2: only to the public, but they were lying to members
Speaker 2: of their own cabinet. I think some of the criticism
Speaker 2: is fair.
Speaker 3: To be honest of me, again, it makes me mental.
Speaker 2: It was clear, far far away, there was galaxy and
Speaker 2: there were robuts. The robots were.
Speaker 1: Coming up close to the one trillion dollar amount is
Speaker 1: lost every year to fraud you saw it coming. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was like they threw money in the
Speaker 1: air and just let people run around and grab it.
Speaker 2: Nobody should be comfortable when our country is in a
Speaker 2: moment of crisis, and I think that there is far
Speaker 2: too much comfortability across the board. So I'm Dinny Combs.
Speaker 2: The so called freak offs happened weekly, many of the
Speaker 2: sessions photographed and filmed.
Speaker 7: She even testified about him, you know, threatening to blow
Speaker 7: up rapper Kid Cutty's part.
Speaker 3: I think he convicted.
Speaker 2: Trump's gonna important me?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Could I ask you a question what I'm in London
Speaker 2: and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.
Speaker 3: I said, it's not working.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that sixty minute story that we
Speaker 2: both found so explosive last Sunday night disappeared into the ether.
Speaker 2: A trillion dollars of COVID eight money got stolen. A
Speaker 2: kind of entertaining story for about twenty four hours for
Speaker 2: a few people.
Speaker 3: Doesn't make it dent the key aspect of it.
Speaker 2: As it was happening, the bureaucrats involved said, man, all
Speaker 2: this is going to get stolen and did nothing about it.
Speaker 2: But it just didn't land in the American consciousness. I
Speaker 2: hate to sound unpatriotic, but a country that behaves like that,
Speaker 2: an enterprise that behaves like that, should fail, should fall.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, that's gravity that I mean, that's what you're
Speaker 2: asking for, right, Yeah, what it would take to sustain
Speaker 2: it in the face of such incredible incoonfidence, dishonesties too much,
Speaker 2: it should give way to something better. Speaking of patriots,
Speaker 2: so many questions. The very tall, the very proud of
Speaker 2: himself James Coley for me, FBI director who really kickstarted
Speaker 2: the whole damn Russian thing by taking the story to
Speaker 2: Trump and then calling reporters and saying the President has
Speaker 2: been briefed on this. I mean, it was just, oh
Speaker 2: my god. He's so full of himself. So he posts
Speaker 2: about forty eight hours ago he's walking on the beach
Speaker 2: somewhere and he arranges shells in such a way on
Speaker 2: the beach that they read eighty six forty seven, and
Speaker 2: then he says, look this interesting shell arrangement. I just
Speaker 2: came across any posts.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, wow wow for No.
Speaker 2: Eighty six depending I usually heard it bar related when
Speaker 2: people get eighty six from a bar, kicked out of
Speaker 2: a bar, some people interred it, interpreted it as a
Speaker 2: threat he should be killed, like President Trump should be
Speaker 2: killed Trump being the forty seventh president regard that's the
Speaker 2: code for murder in various jurisdictions. I don't know which
Speaker 2: one specifically, one eighty six as an island. I definitely
Speaker 2: think it's a stretch that he was advocating an assassination,
Speaker 2: attempt or threatening on himself or anything like that. The
Speaker 2: FBI is going to investigate it, as they would with
Speaker 2: any individual who did that sort of thing. But just
Speaker 2: how incredibly unwise is that, a guy who ran the FBI,
Speaker 2: after all the trouble you've been through and this and
Speaker 2: that and the way people feel about and everything like that,
Speaker 2: you're gonna post an eighty six forty seven And then
Speaker 2: he took it down quickly and realized and then apologized
Speaker 2: or something. It's just he's unhinged.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: At the same time, I almost think it's kind of useful.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go all Thomas Paine on you here, and
Speaker 2: he's actually the source of our freedom loving quote of
Speaker 2: the day in a few minutes. But it just goes
Speaker 2: to show you that you remove the you know, the surroundings,
Speaker 2: the big building and all of the granite and the
Speaker 2: suit and the grava toss.
Speaker 3: But these guys are just.
Speaker 2: People, clearly, dudes and women, and they have the same
Speaker 2: failings and frailties as the rest of us. Stop worshiping them,
Speaker 2: any of them, well even less than a lot of
Speaker 2: average people. Most people I know would think, that's not
Speaker 2: gonna that's gonna be do me more harm than good.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna help my life in any way. But
Speaker 2: he thought it would be funny for a second to
Speaker 2: take a shot at the president that he hates so much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the more I think about it, we're gonna eighty six
Speaker 2: the bee fribs tonight. We don't have enough of them,
Speaker 2: that's it just means canceled. Yeah, as opposed to murder.
Speaker 2: You don't murder an order or you know, the Margherita
Speaker 2: machines broken, So we got eighty six the Marguerite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just okay, all right, whooped? You do?
Speaker 2: Nothing will ever beat. When he was standing in the
Speaker 2: woods looking at the sky, so many questions, all.
Speaker 3: Right, good, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 2: I U back to trying to find somewhere to get
Speaker 2: my haircut. That doesn't annoy me. That's one of the
Speaker 2: greatest struggles of my life. What are the criteria? Just
Speaker 2: cut my hair and don't annoy me. That's it.
Speaker 3: So you're not worse than dead.
Speaker 2: It's got nothing to do with like the quality of
Speaker 2: the haircut that you're having a problem with. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: well obviously, yeah, there's a band of quality that I
Speaker 2: must have. I mean, if it's some hack with dull
Speaker 2: scissors who doesn't know how to cut hair, of course
Speaker 2: that's unacceptable. But it doesn't sound like the standards are
Speaker 2: too high there. Oh no, I'm an average middle aged dude.
Speaker 2: I need an average middle aged dude haircut. It's not difficult.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it just occurred to me what annoyed me
Speaker 2: so much about the one guy who was.
Speaker 3: Going to it.
Speaker 2: He was really good and really fast, a man who
Speaker 2: cut hair. Yes there are them, though them who does that? Uh?
Speaker 2: He was like James Komy. And this was the best
Speaker 2: description of Komy I ever heard. He is the hero
Speaker 2: of every story he tells. Komy's self regard, it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: All right, that's enough of that. I hope I the
Speaker 2: haircutter guy, though, so he tells you some story in
Speaker 2: which he comes out the uh looking good or whatever.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't want to give too many facts, partly because
Speaker 2: he's an enormous human being and could break me in half.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just it's like, dude, it's stop. Do you
Speaker 2: like really big beefy men cutting your hair? I really
Speaker 2: do strip to the waist if possible. Yeah, shop with
Speaker 2: hair cutting. You can't because I don't have any hair,
Speaker 2: so I haven't had a haircut since I was like eleven,
Speaker 2: So you can't. I have like a thick, lustrous mane
Speaker 2: of chestnut locks for the ladies listening. Yes, Jack, you
Speaker 2: can't do like uber where you put on a preference
Speaker 2: if i'd like at sixty eight degrees and no talking,
Speaker 2: not that i'm aware of that. Awesome if you could, though,
Speaker 2: yeah everything, Yeah, I'm sorry, pressed the wrong for my
Speaker 2: off the that'd be awesome. I wonder if that's the future,
Speaker 2: since everything gets more computerized, like everything you do before
Speaker 2: you get to the cash register, you'll be able to
Speaker 2: press no interaction please, or just everything everywhere you go
Speaker 2: all the time. Of course, that's not going to help
Speaker 2: us as a society. No, that gives me the dystopian chills,
Speaker 2: but good idea. Anyway, mail bag coming up in a
Speaker 2: couple of minutes, and some really interesting stuff about an
Speaker 2: epidemic of scams that is flooding a couple of the
Speaker 2: most popular social media outlets. You thought the waters were
Speaker 2: full of sharks, Now I know it's your phone is well? Scammers? Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought you scammers? Literally no, So we'll be talking
Speaker 2: about that, among other things. Walmart has said, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: going to raise prices because of the tariffs, which opens
Speaker 2: the door for all of America to do the same.
Speaker 2: So the tariff thing might not quite be over yet.
Speaker 2: Is a topic controversy. Yeah, I got two of the
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal's opinion on the Walmart thing, and then
Speaker 2: Axios which had a counter version oddly enough about the
Speaker 2: Walmart raising prices thing. So we'll hit you at that
Speaker 2: next hour see what you think is most likely, whether
Speaker 2: it's a big deal or not.
Speaker 3: All right, sounds good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and mail bag on the way next to here.
Speaker 2: Trump actually responded just moments ago to the James Comy
Speaker 2: Instagram post, and Trump said James Comy knew exactly what
Speaker 2: he was doing. That was an assassination threat. Here we go,
Speaker 2: Here we go ten years ago. Can you imagine a
Speaker 2: sitting president claiming the former FBI director had attempted had
Speaker 2: made an assassination threat. I mean, what a giant story
Speaker 2: that would be the world would have come to a stop,
Speaker 2: and everybody reacting to both sides of it with Komy
Speaker 2: what a jackass, and Trump's trolling again right and moving
Speaker 2: on with their day. Really, if you're normal, I think
Speaker 2: that's the way you ought to react. Here's your freedom
Speaker 2: loving quote of the day from Patrick Henry. Whoops, oh
Speaker 2: it's not Wait a minute, how did that go there?
Speaker 3: Thomas Pain?
Speaker 2: Thomas Pain, Those who expect to reap the blessings of
Speaker 2: freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
Speaker 3: And then you great tough women too.
Speaker 2: We needed a lot of expect to who expect to
Speaker 2: reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of
Speaker 2: supporting it. We needed a lot of Thomas Paine's energy
Speaker 2: during the revolution. But he was a full on advocate
Speaker 2: of the French Revolution style of just tearing everything completely
Speaker 2: the ground and starting over. He was a nut in
Speaker 2: my opinion. Wow wow, Jack computing the characters of our
Speaker 2: Founding Fathers and the greatest Americans? Is he part of
Speaker 2: the Russian plot to undermine our country together with the
Speaker 2: Chinese communists? Yes, is the answer to that. We'll take
Speaker 2: your calls. Next hour, stay with us, Mailbag He drops
Speaker 2: a note. Mail Bag and Armstrong and Getty dot Com
Speaker 2: have an opinion. Somebody ought to be talking about mail
Speaker 2: Bag and Armstrong and Getty dot com drew the Millennial
Speaker 2: rights guys on the topic of the Fourteenth Amendment. Get
Speaker 2: Timmy Sandy on to discuss it. Tim Sandifer, he wrote
Speaker 2: an entire book about it, sort of indirectly, but it's brilliant.
Speaker 3: Even if it's drier than.
Speaker 2: Assaulting Oh my, the conscience of the Constitution.
Speaker 3: It is an excellent book. Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of the first things he'll say is that the
Speaker 2: fourteenth Amendment was the codification of the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 2: He brushed over the Fourteenth briefly, and he's probably already
Speaker 2: drafted a ninety page response to everything he left out.
Speaker 2: He's weird but awesome. Love the show. Thanks Drew the Millennial.
Speaker 2: We'll have the weird but awesome Tim Sandifer on next hour. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll have to decide if we want to emphasize that
Speaker 2: or the bigger question of whether these judges can jump
Speaker 2: in and stop a president all the time that keeps happening.
Speaker 2: We will emphasize neither the peanut butter nor the jelly.
Speaker 2: We will marry them in sweet sweet accord. Wow, well
Speaker 2: a boat in other words, On the topic of virtual reality,
Speaker 2: John speaking for a lot of us, says, listening to
Speaker 2: the One More Thing talk about virtual reality. Yes, the
Speaker 2: Armstrong You Getty One More Thing podcast. We record it
Speaker 2: after the radio show is done. It never airs frequently,
Speaker 2: it has swears. Anyway, he says, I have a hard
Speaker 2: enough time dealing with actual reality.
Speaker 3: I don't need any more.
Speaker 2: Well, the most amazing thing I ever got out of
Speaker 2: the virtuality the Apple headset was the serenity of nature
Speaker 2: and being alone by a lake. So it was interesting
Speaker 2: that I was able to bring that feeling to my
Speaker 2: life quickly and easily. Wow, the irony swat team is
Speaker 2: now breaking down our doors to enforce the law. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's amazing. Yes, lucky, this high tech gadget, I just
Speaker 2: got an incredible expense from a giant American corporation.
Speaker 3: It's allowed me to go to the woods.
Speaker 2: Let's see you moving along, Jess and Wiley Texas pretty disappointed? Michelangelow,
Speaker 2: How did I'm gonna rephrase this? But every time the
Speaker 2: P Diddy update comes along or that P Diddy bombshell,
Speaker 2: y'all laid out about the size of his manhood? How
Speaker 2: did you miss the delightful hip hop one hit wonder
Speaker 2: TUTSI role by the sixty nine Boys with a Z I.
Speaker 3: Don't know making your request?
Speaker 2: He plays the song every time Katie pops up with
Speaker 2: her ditty update. Does he take request? Tell him to
Speaker 2: start taking requests? I request? Did he take my request?
Speaker 3: Thanks? Jess. I've never heard of that song?
Speaker 2: Me neither.
Speaker 3: We don't know one hit hip hop wonders?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some testimony from a different did he
Speaker 2: trial that might lead you to believe that he's unusually
Speaker 2: a small in his manhood and that might have something
Speaker 2: to do with his weird, I mean beyond weird attitude
Speaker 2: toward women and sex.
Speaker 3: Yeah, violence fueled control freak year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see, this is serious?
Speaker 3: Do we have time for this?
Speaker 2: Why not to frequent correspond to JT in Livermore, I'm
Speaker 2: I'm a Trump supporter generally, though I've repeatedly stated I'd
Speaker 2: not want to have him over for dinner, but I'm
Speaker 2: glad he's in the White House. I'd love to have
Speaker 2: him over for dinner. I wouldn't want him to date
Speaker 2: my mom. Okay, fair enough, let's send your list Armstrong
Speaker 2: mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. But even
Speaker 2: though I've sought really hard to find justification for Trump's
Speaker 2: seemingly inexplicable behavior visa v. Putin, unless this is some
Speaker 2: sort of eighteen dimensional chess moved to keep Putin in
Speaker 2: the war so as to decimate Russia militarily and economically,
Speaker 2: I'm almost out of excuses, right, I agree, And then
Speaker 2: he says, in fact, I'm so out of excuses that
Speaker 2: my imagination and is dredging up old Kevin Costner movies,
Speaker 2: in which Costner plays a Navy intel officer turns out he's.
Speaker 3: A deep Russian mole after all. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite all time movies. No way out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: uh uh, I don't think that. I don't think Trump
Speaker 2: is any sort of asset or any of that sort
Speaker 2: of stuff. I don't know what is fascination with Putins,
Speaker 2: but I worry that if they meet Trump is going
Speaker 2: to say some way too flattering things about Putin and
Speaker 2: way too negative things about Zelensky for anybody to.
Speaker 3: Be able to take. I know, yeah, I worry about
Speaker 3: that too.
Speaker 2: More on Putin's history of manipulating American presidents later on
Speaker 2: in the show. This is so interesting from Sean. We
Speaker 2: were talking about AI dominated warehouses with AI forklifts and
Speaker 2: the rest of it. Lights out warehouses are definitely the future.
Speaker 2: It was more than ten years ago. I stood in
Speaker 2: a huge warehouse and they essentially had a pilot program
Speaker 2: of one section of it was entirely automated, very close aisles,
Speaker 2: no lights. Through the silhouettes of the aisles, I could
Speaker 2: see machines rising and pulling pallets and bringing them to
Speaker 2: exit points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wouldn't need any lighting.
Speaker 2: Wow, and how much would that save you if you
Speaker 2: didn't have to light and heat or air conditioned to
Speaker 2: a certain extent. You don't want the machines to burn up,
Speaker 2: but they wouldn't have to be as comfortable as for humans.
Speaker 2: I never even thought about the same there and this
Speaker 2: we have time for this, No, we really don't. We
Speaker 2: got three more hours from beautiful Placterville California, pointing out
Speaker 2: that the California Bullspit Train, as now described by the
Speaker 2: folks building it, is now officially slower than taking a
Speaker 2: bus from San Francisco to La Yeah, because it'd probably
Speaker 2: take nine or ten hours. Yeah, you could take a
Speaker 2: bus faster and a heck of a lot cheaper. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, that's amazing. We've got so much more for you.
Speaker 2: If you missed a segment, get the podcast. Just look
Speaker 2: for Armstrong and Getty on demand. Armstrong and Getty
