Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jattie and now Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: So before we go to our London bureau for a
Speaker 3: special guest. I'm a little bit embarrassed that I had
Speaker 3: to look this up. But I think for most of
Speaker 3: my life I would use Great Britain in England interchangeably,
Speaker 3: not knowing that they were different things. I think that
Speaker 3: happens with a lot of people. Great Britain means if
Speaker 3: you say Great Britain, you mean England, Scotland and Wales.
Speaker 3: Those three places are Great Britain. But if you say UK,
Speaker 3: I didn't know this. If you say the United Kingdom,
Speaker 3: it's those places plus Northern Ireland. So Great Britain's three countries.
Speaker 3: United Kingdom is four countries. Okay, I didn't know that,
Speaker 3: and I probably won't remember it anyway. In England, Joe Getty,
Speaker 3: the other half of the Armstrong Angetty show, probably in London.
Speaker 3: How are you this morning?
Speaker 4: Joe?
Speaker 1: I am in London and it is five o'clock in
Speaker 1: the evening here roughly, I am ridiculously jet lagged and
Speaker 1: sleep deprived, but otherwise in fine feddle.
Speaker 3: Still after you got there Friday, No Saturday morning, late
Speaker 3: Saturday morning here, I for some reason, I just couldn't
Speaker 3: sleep last night.
Speaker 2: Wired too much espresso or something.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I celebrated total sleeplessness by walking for six
Speaker 1: hours straight with my sweet wife around London town today,
Speaker 1: seeing a museum and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3: So did you five or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: Are you supposed to do afternoon tea or some bs
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: I could use a beer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we may do high tea at some point,
Speaker 1: depends on how hard my wife twists my arm. But
Speaker 1: mostly we've just we did the British Museum today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's awesome. That's one of the greatest museums
Speaker 3: in the world.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's breathtaking. It's I wasn't sure exactly what
Speaker 1: to expect. I hadn't done a lot of research, honestly,
Speaker 1: but the collection of antiquities from the ancient world, your
Speaker 1: Goths and Visigoths, your Romans, your Greeks, so your Persians
Speaker 1: throwing a few Persians.
Speaker 2: There and Assyrians.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's amazing though. I saw the oldest books
Speaker 1: that exists and the oldest library, and I was gazing
Speaker 1: at the Rosetta stone.
Speaker 2: The actual thing just amazing.
Speaker 3: So how is the weather.
Speaker 1: It's a ball me, it's absolutely beautiful, seventy five.
Speaker 2: There are no bugs.
Speaker 3: It's not no, it's not. That's fahrenheit. What is it
Speaker 3: in Celsius.
Speaker 2: Let's see the air conditioners set at twenty two?
Speaker 3: Whatever that means? Oh my god, that's warm work or cold?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It is comfortable, honey.
Speaker 3: The air conditioners said twenty two? What do we say
Speaker 3: to ood?
Speaker 4: Bye?
Speaker 3: So I don't want to get into serious stuff really,
Speaker 3: but I just Katie mentioned there were huge anti immigration
Speaker 3: protests over the weekend. Did you are you become aware
Speaker 3: of that?
Speaker 2: No? Not really.
Speaker 1: We saw cops going here and there, and we saw
Speaker 1: some bobby sporting.
Speaker 2: They don't look like bobbies, they just look like cops.
Speaker 3: You're talking fahrenheit and cops.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. You're not taking to England. No,
Speaker 1: not yet. But yeah, we saw a couple of smallest protests.
Speaker 1: They didn't seem to be anti immigration protests. But here's
Speaker 1: something interesting for you. Every Londoner we have talked to
Speaker 1: for an extended period, be the Uber driver, tour guide, waiter,
Speaker 1: et cetera, has mentioned the immigration situation really unprompted.
Speaker 2: I didn't ask them about it.
Speaker 1: In describing various things to see and do in London. Uh,
Speaker 1: it comes up a time.
Speaker 3: That's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: And I tell you what, it's not.
Speaker 1: These damn dan Tai immigrant jerks are No, it's like
Speaker 1: you probably don't want to go there and over here
Speaker 1: it's you hear a lot. Frankly, it's funny. I'm hesitating
Speaker 1: to say this out loud, but what it was said
Speaker 1: to me. You hear a lot of so many Arabs. Really,
Speaker 1: it's funny. They refer to them as Arabs mostly. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. There is tension, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's good information. I didn't know. I suppose
Speaker 3: I had never thought about it. They have Uber in London.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, exactly the same using the same app
Speaker 3: you used here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, easy peasy, no lyft though, don't even try.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you another thing about London is it is
Speaker 1: more teeming with humanity. Then well, it's like Times Square
Speaker 1: in New York in this summertime, or like Union Square
Speaker 1: in San Francisco before it got all poopy. I mean,
Speaker 1: just millions and millions of human beings everywhere. Really, it's unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you can still have a good time and
Speaker 1: see the sites and such, but it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: thriving metropolis, no doubt. And today's some sort of or
Speaker 1: this weekend a Giant Bank holiday they call it. It's
Speaker 1: a three day end of summer holiday. So it's it's
Speaker 1: extra crazy. What have you been eating a lot of
Speaker 1: fish and chips?
Speaker 2: No joke?
Speaker 3: I know when I when I was in England, I
Speaker 3: have fishing chips every meal and they were all different,
Speaker 3: which was interesting.
Speaker 1: Well, right, yeah, we we like to when like in Mexico,
Speaker 1: we'd always try the guacamole. And when I was in Vienna,
Speaker 1: not that I travel that much. It sounds like I'm
Speaker 1: some sort of world traveler, but I'm not. I would
Speaker 1: try the veen or schnitzel everywhere we went.
Speaker 3: What did you eat when you were in Hamburg?
Speaker 2: Uh? A hot dog?
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's I had a couple of pints and
Speaker 1: as I mentioned last week, I guess we had dinner
Speaker 1: with our next door neighbors at home last night here
Speaker 1: in London.
Speaker 2: They happen to be here too, so that was that
Speaker 2: was delightful. It was funny.
Speaker 3: What what beer are you drinking that they have on
Speaker 3: tap there?
Speaker 2: You know, honestly I can't even It's not but light,
Speaker 2: is it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Good lord?
Speaker 1: No, No, I did have a peroni at lunch today.
Speaker 1: That's an Italian logger, I think. But you know, I'll
Speaker 1: go in and you know, order whatever's on tap and
Speaker 1: they'll do that weird tap that's not even refrigerated and
Speaker 1: it's like more of a pump.
Speaker 2: Than a like electrified American tap.
Speaker 1: But I do enjoy the pub thing though. I remember
Speaker 1: you saying how much you enjoyed thinking your dress days.
Speaker 2: I love the atmosphere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very very cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, quiet ish unless there's a soccer
Speaker 1: match going on.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, football football match going on and just I
Speaker 2: don't know. It's it's it's good. I like it.
Speaker 3: Yes, Michael has a question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you constantly hear the Benny theme and we
Speaker 5: go through the streets of.
Speaker 1: You want me to lose at one and a half speed?
Speaker 1: That's right, No, Michael, no, forgot.
Speaker 3: Oh that is funny.
Speaker 1: We did the big double decker bus trip bus tour
Speaker 1: thing yesterday. I just rode around more or less all day.
Speaker 3: I never did that and.
Speaker 2: Saw the site. Say it was fun. It was good.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, just get the lay of the land,
Speaker 1: getting get a mental picture of the city and how
Speaker 1: it lays out, and make mental notes of places you
Speaker 1: want to go back to.
Speaker 2: Got an eight and a quarter hour walking tour tomorrow. Wow,
Speaker 2: so all day, sucker. Yeah, I don't know what I
Speaker 2: was thinking. That's a lot about help me, God, help me.
Speaker 3: I yelled at an old man at sailing lessons. Missed
Speaker 3: that story. Oh really, Yeah, you haven't come in the
Speaker 3: old bastard, the old man in the sea. He was
Speaker 3: about to be the old man in the sea. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he had it coming, and keep telling me what to do.
Speaker 3: Me and him were.
Speaker 2: Sure a bull telling you what to do. So I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't like some guy who's also in the beginning
Speaker 3: sailing class telling you me what to do.
Speaker 6: Yes, Katie, yeah, Joe. This man has no name, he's
Speaker 6: just known as sir.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I yelled at him, sir, I'm going to do
Speaker 3: what the instructor told.
Speaker 7: Me to do sir.
Speaker 2: Wow, well there you go. Sorry it turned ugly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. Anyway, back to England.
Speaker 2: So Katie might be interested in this.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's a never ending fashion show walking the
Speaker 1: streets here. I guess most big cities are, really but
Speaker 1: because it's you know, a cosmopolitan euro and you know,
Speaker 1: just good lord, the things the women wear. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: everything from the full bee keeper to like are they
Speaker 1: filming a porn around here?
Speaker 3: A porn?
Speaker 1: And and like you know that's that's within five people
Speaker 1: walking by you.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I never so many navels in my life before, but
Speaker 1: it's very summary here in London.
Speaker 3: Well, as Samuel Johnson said, when a man is tired
Speaker 3: of London, he is tired of life. You can drink
Speaker 3: at the pub where he used to write all that stuff.
Speaker 3: By the way, maybe you've done that.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what I did? Oh, I was thinking
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: I got to send you the picture as I stood
Speaker 1: next to the desk where Karl Marx troke dust capita.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the leech ne'er do well money on it,
Speaker 1: and and and he even but did you tell me
Speaker 1: this here?
Speaker 2: Bregnated the maze or something. Yeah, he's a sku.
Speaker 1: Short snecker stuff, and then asked his friend Engels to take.
Speaker 2: The blame for it.
Speaker 3: Right, he was all kinds of awful. It's unbelievable that
Speaker 3: anybody respects him. What I had another question about England
Speaker 3: and the pubs and the what you were doing in
Speaker 3: the and I remember what it was. It'll flip back
Speaker 3: into my head. I'm an old man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Go to the How did the
Speaker 1: tour tomorrow? Is the Tower of London? Spending a couple
Speaker 1: of hours there them, super fascinating cool? Yeah, off to
Speaker 1: Parliament in the afternoon, I think, so. Yeah, I'm super
Speaker 1: excited about it. It's just, oh my god, the walking
Speaker 1: we've done.
Speaker 2: But it's good. This may be the first vacation in
Speaker 2: my life. I'm gonna lose weight. We're on that trend
Speaker 2: so far.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I do that a lot. If
Speaker 3: you go to big cities like that and you walk
Speaker 3: most places, you couldn't eat enough galleries to counterbalance how
Speaker 3: much walking you're doing. When I you know, my trip
Speaker 3: got kind of was weird. I've only been to England
Speaker 3: once and it was there over nine to eleven, so
Speaker 3: everything got really weird right when nine to eleven happened.
Speaker 3: Everything was locked down and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: But one of the coolest things I ever got to
Speaker 3: see was just because of the timing of it all,
Speaker 3: is when they did the national anthem in front of
Speaker 3: Buckingham Palace. Oh wow, to try to stay in solidarity
Speaker 3: with the United States. That had to be moving, and
Speaker 3: they had a there's a giant is it Eisenhower DR statue?
Speaker 3: I don't remember which. I think there's both, but one
Speaker 3: of them where everybody was and it was putting flowers
Speaker 3: and everything like that, And it was interesting to me
Speaker 3: that I think it was FDR that they hold FDR
Speaker 3: in such high regard there for helping win England, but
Speaker 3: you know, half the country doesn't in the United States
Speaker 3: doesn't like FDR. And the reverse with Winston Churchill. There
Speaker 3: we so idolize Winston Churchill over here and over there.
Speaker 3: It's gone. Oh it's a mixed bag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, indeed, it was interesting.
Speaker 1: The tour guide and I were chatting about contemporary politics
Speaker 1: a little bit. We hired a guide for the British Museum.
Speaker 1: We went a little nuts, but it was it was
Speaker 1: super interesting. This guy was a history professor, and oh
Speaker 1: my god, did he have a grasp of the ancient world.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all a bit of a swirrel
Speaker 1: by the end. But I'll tell you what a couple
Speaker 1: of takeaways. Number one, what I was going to say
Speaker 1: is he was talking about how the country's growing broke
Speaker 1: and they've over promised pensions to all the civil service,
Speaker 1: just like you know, I talked about the pension bomb
Speaker 1: in Californy in the US. And the other thing he
Speaker 1: said that was interesting was after COVID, they can't get
Speaker 1: anybody to work. There's a worker shortage. It's just like
Speaker 1: in the States.
Speaker 3: Because people got used to not working and getting a check.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are on the dole and one on one
Speaker 1: program or another. And are we talking about Oh, one
Speaker 1: of the galories was closed. He said, yeah, they can't
Speaker 1: get workers. Can't get workers over here. He put into
Speaker 1: a restaurant. We can't get security people over here. Just
Speaker 1: nobody wants to work.
Speaker 3: Wow. So we had that, but it didn't It wasn't
Speaker 3: that bad for that long. I remember at the beginning
Speaker 3: when things opened up, all kinds of restaurants, you know,
Speaker 3: they'd have half the thing knocked off because they didn't
Speaker 3: have enough people to work there. But that's still going
Speaker 3: on there.
Speaker 2: Wow, right right.
Speaker 1: And then the other takeaway, the final takeaway from Big Tour,
Speaker 1: what time is it?
Speaker 2: I'm talking your ear off.
Speaker 1: The other big takeaway was that as we went, it's
Speaker 1: through the various wrestling matches over who would control what
Speaker 1: ground across Europe and Asia and North Africa and everything
Speaker 1: like that. The idea that the people just before you
Speaker 1: who had the land, they're the rightful owners, right and
Speaker 1: you should feel guilty that now you and your people
Speaker 1: are sitting on it is hilarious.
Speaker 3: When you're in New Europe. Yes, definitely.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, every square inch of the earth has
Speaker 1: traded hands so many times through the millennia. It's just
Speaker 1: just silly. But you know, as I'm always lecturing people,
Speaker 1: it's not about justice or anything like that. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a method of it's a tool of takeover. It's
Speaker 1: a way to cow you into saying sorry, sorry, it's yours.
Speaker 3: Before we take a break, and I hope you can
Speaker 3: call in again maybe tomorrow. But what's the conversion rate
Speaker 3: on the money?
Speaker 1: I think it's about a buck thirty five to a pound.
Speaker 1: The dollars a little weaker than it's been in recent
Speaker 1: years from what I understand.
Speaker 3: I remember back in the day though, when it was
Speaker 3: like two to one, so it was really expensive to
Speaker 3: go to Europe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dollar was crazy strong there for a while.
Speaker 1: But no, it's not bad. Well it's not bad big
Speaker 1: city prices. But you know, we went up to big
Speaker 1: steak dinner last night and it was about what a
Speaker 1: big steak dinner is going to cost you?
Speaker 3: Right? And did you yell bloody hell when you saw
Speaker 3: the check?
Speaker 2: I wish I had.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe we'll talk to you tomorrow. Joe Getty are
Speaker 3: from our London bureau. Thank you. We got more ways
Speaker 3: to one and all more of the ways to hear.
Speaker 8: Farm strong he Getty time flies and all too quickly
Speaker 8: it was in the country. There was no electricity, no
Speaker 8: warming water, so everything had to be done hard. We
Speaker 8: The wedding was the seven o'clock and mister Turney was
Speaker 8: late sold.
Speaker 7: The wedding was the seven thirty.
Speaker 9: The Guinness World Record for longest marriage is eighty eight years,
Speaker 9: three hundred and forty nine days. That means currently Ray
Speaker 9: and g McKay are just under fourteen years, shy nothing.
Speaker 8: Probably will get divorced before then. No secret, just patience
Speaker 8: and keep on talk.
Speaker 3: Them couple celebrating their seventy fifth wedding anniversary, which obviously
Speaker 3: you got to be pretty old to be able to
Speaker 3: pull off, even if you were fifteen when you got married.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they were in this in this case.
Speaker 3: I think this is of course, mister Tarti was late,
Speaker 3: so the wedding started at seven thirty. That's funny. Uh.
Speaker 3: She still remembers that he was late for their wedding
Speaker 3: seventy five years ago.
Speaker 7: She is still bringing that up.
Speaker 3: Of course, mister Tarti here, I was precious. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: was cute and I like that. I don't know that
Speaker 3: I liked whoever the news correspondent was having to present.
Speaker 3: It is like a failure. Of course, the world record
Speaker 3: is eighty some years, so they're a long way from that.
Speaker 7: Oh, these guys got them beat.
Speaker 3: So there's no point in really talking about this since
Speaker 3: seventy five, since the world record is fourteen years longer
Speaker 3: than what's you throw them that nugget.
Speaker 6: Four Gene is ninety six and ray is one hundred
Speaker 6: and two.
Speaker 3: I don't like their chances for breaking the all time record,
Speaker 3: he'd have to be one hundred and sixteen.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: You never know one of two and ninety eight to
Speaker 3: four years apart. They may at work. Patient cyz a key.
Speaker 3: I would say that is a true with all relationships
Speaker 3: of any kind. Yeah, patient size key and the h
Speaker 3: and the recognizing that you always ain't so great to
Speaker 3: deal with yourself is also a very big help.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at another quote from then.
Speaker 6: I tell Jane that I tell people that Gene and
Speaker 6: I do a little bit of traveling these days. I
Speaker 6: drive her up the wall and she drives me up.
Speaker 7: The other wall.
Speaker 3: Hey, no, oh, they're good.
Speaker 7: They're darling. I love this story.
Speaker 3: They got a comedy routine. Good for them. That's fed
Speaker 3: the man. That is a long time Wow. Coming up,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump had a impromptu, as he always does, press
Speaker 3: conference practically every day. Took a ton of questions on
Speaker 3: a ton of issues, a ton of issues, and some
Speaker 3: of them are pretty darn interesting his replies. So we'll
Speaker 3: get to that. Coming up. We still got a minute left.
Speaker 10: Cool.
Speaker 3: I was just reading over the protests from the weekend.
Speaker 3: They had protests just this weekend, really big protests in
Speaker 3: England where Joe is. It's around a hotel on the
Speaker 3: outskirts of London where immigrants somebody from the Middle East
Speaker 3: tried to kiss a fourteen year old girl. That's what
Speaker 3: is being alleged. He says he didn't. Other people say
Speaker 3: they saw it. That has been the issue in a
Speaker 3: lot of the dust ups with immigration over there. You know,
Speaker 3: in the Middle East have a different view of the
Speaker 3: relationship between men and women, and no age barrier on
Speaker 3: any of that, as you might be aware of. So
Speaker 3: that's what caused the spark, and they're hoping it doesn't
Speaker 3: turn super violent like it did last year. But they're
Speaker 3: up fifty percent in terms of illegal channel crossings this
Speaker 3: year from last and they set the record two years ago.
Speaker 3: So I got a lot of people still coming in
Speaker 3: and things could turn even uglier, all right, what Trump
Speaker 3: had to say, and a whole bunch of different topics
Speaker 3: coming up next to them, of it's pretty entertaining.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10: We want to go from here to other places. But
Speaker 10: I was telling some of the people that in a certain.
Speaker 2: Way, you really want to be asked to go.
Speaker 10: You know, I hate to barge in on a city
Speaker 10: and then be treated to horribly by corrupt politicians and
Speaker 10: bad politicians like a.
Speaker 2: Guy like Pritzkert. He had to spend more time in
Speaker 2: the gym. Actually, I had.
Speaker 3: To do a fat shot at the fat governor of
Speaker 3: Illinois there at the end. Spend more time on the gym.
Speaker 3: By the way, I love it. That is funny. Donald
Speaker 3: Trump saying he'd like to be invited before he sends
Speaker 3: the National Guard troops into Chicago. That's what Republican house
Speaker 3: Member Tom mclint set on our show a little bit earlier,
Speaker 3: that he'd be okay with it if they were asked,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't like the idea of the federal government
Speaker 3: just sending troops unasked. Ay you Trump talking about DC
Speaker 3: and how crime is there since he decided to get involved.
Speaker 10: But in the last eleven days, we've had no murders,
Speaker 10: and that's the first time that's taking place in.
Speaker 2: Years.
Speaker 10: Actually years, we always have a murder a week, they
Speaker 10: call it a murder a week. You come here from Iowa,
Speaker 10: you come here from Indiana, you come here from Idaho,
Speaker 10: because you're so proud of your country, you love your country,
Speaker 10: and then you get murdered, your son gets murdered, you
Speaker 10: do it, or gets murdered. You get murdered, see the media,
Speaker 10: you get murdered. Many of you have been mugged in Washington.
Speaker 10: You just don't want to talk about it. And I
Speaker 10: know that every time I do this with you, you almost everything.
Speaker 10: But every time I do this with you, people are
Speaker 10: saying to yourselves, he's right, he's right, and then you
Speaker 10: write a negative.
Speaker 3: So the crime statistics in Chicago are being argued just
Speaker 3: like what happened in Washington, DC a week or so ago.
Speaker 3: The mayor of the socialist mayor of Chicago and the
Speaker 3: fat governor of Illinois are both claiming crime is actually
Speaker 3: down in Chicago, so they don't need the National Guard troops.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that story turns out later in
Speaker 3: this week. But Trump, doing his impromptu press conference today,
Speaker 3: did get asked about Gavin Newsom, Gavin.
Speaker 4: Dison, You mentioned Gavin Newsom on crime.
Speaker 6: Is there a federal mechanism you're hoping to use to
Speaker 6: fight back against his redistricting constitutional amendment or is that call?
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon,
Speaker 4: and I think we're going to be very successful in it.
Speaker 4: We're going to be filing it through the Department of Justice.
Speaker 2: That's going to happen.
Speaker 3: He had to get into the new scum thing. I
Speaker 3: don't know if that does him any good or not,
Speaker 3: but so a different topic. On Friday, the hot story
Speaker 3: was the FBI rating John Bolton's home, former National security
Speaker 3: advisor under Trump, who has turned to Trump critic and
Speaker 3: the mainstream media claiming it is some sort of retribution
Speaker 3: or a just targeting people he hates and lawfully that
Speaker 3: sort of thing. I was kind of surprised because Chris Christy,
Speaker 3: huge Trump critic, former governor of New Jersey, never has
Speaker 3: anything positive to say about anything Trump does, was ask
Speaker 3: about the whole thing on ABC this week and his
Speaker 3: answer was a little bit surprising to me.
Speaker 10: It had to get two separate judges to sign off
Speaker 10: on those search warrants, so they have to have some
Speaker 10: evidence of probable calls.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, and look, let's be fair. When we talked about
Speaker 11: this in the context of the raid of mar A Lago,
Speaker 11: I said the same thing at that point, that a
Speaker 11: federal judge had found probable cause to sign off on
Speaker 11: a search warrant, which means there's something it doesn't necessarily
Speaker 11: mean that there's evidence beyond a reasonable doubts of guilt
Speaker 11: to a violation of a federal law. What it means
Speaker 11: there's probable cause that a crime. Evidence of a crime
Speaker 11: was kept at the residence where he was searched.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's good Chris Christie. So he was asked,
Speaker 3: was the reason was this? And I think I watched
Speaker 3: it twice, actually several times too, because it seemed to
Speaker 3: me that Jonathan carl really thought he was teeing up
Speaker 3: Chris Christie to say. So Chris Christie can say this
Speaker 3: is a retribution presidency. All he's trying to do is
Speaker 3: target political enemies. And Chris Christy said no, two federal
Speaker 3: judges signed off from warrants, so there's got to be
Speaker 3: something there or the federal doesn't mean the guy's guilty,
Speaker 3: but there is something there. It's it's not just made up.
Speaker 3: So I was happy to see that. Now Chris Christie
Speaker 3: might have been trying to stay on the good side
Speaker 3: of Trump because Trump might be coming after Chris Christie,
Speaker 3: and you know, federal agents going there and once you
Speaker 3: get past all the McDonald's rappers and everything like that,
Speaker 3: they try to find some classified documents of some sort.
Speaker 7: Now he's taking fat shots exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm just working Trump's side of the street. I guess
Speaker 3: that's the way you do things. You constantly body shame.
Speaker 7: People body shaming. That's where we're at, Michael.
Speaker 3: Anyway, this is Trump talking about Christy.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Look, Chris is a slob. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 3: I stop it for a second. I need I need,
Speaker 3: I need to reset here, I need to resets.
Speaker 7: Are always off.
Speaker 3: My god, he starts with that, Chris is a slob.
Speaker 7: Okay, Chris is a slob, all right?
Speaker 3: Oh man, I like the way Trump always presents that
Speaker 3: as like evidence of something else. A person being overweight
Speaker 3: or having a thin neck, or not being able to
Speaker 3: hit golf ball very far, or being a slob is
Speaker 3: evidence of the other thing you're about to say. But anyway,
Speaker 3: let's get back to the response.
Speaker 4: Look, Chris is the slob. Everybody knows that. I know
Speaker 4: Chris better than anybody in the room. I always felt
Speaker 4: he was guilty. But what he did is he took
Speaker 4: the George Washington Bridge, which is very serious. He closed
Speaker 4: down the George Washington Bridge, and you had medical.
Speaker 10: People, you had ambulances caught up, you know this thing
Speaker 10: was closed down, and obviously.
Speaker 4: He knew about it, but he blamed the young lady
Speaker 4: that worked for him and another person, and they got
Speaker 4: into a lot of trouble. She ultimately was I don't know, exonerated,
Speaker 4: but she got out of it a little bit, but
Speaker 4: she went through hell. She was a young mother, nice person.
Speaker 4: I knew her a little bit. And another man went
Speaker 4: to jail and Chris got off. And so when I
Speaker 4: listened to Chris speak his hey, I say, oh, what
Speaker 4: about the George Washington Bridge? You know, tell me about
Speaker 4: the George Washington Bridge. He blamed other people. He knew
Speaker 4: all about it. So I don't know if they want
Speaker 4: to look at it. It's not for me.
Speaker 3: We're not going to get into at Bridgegate probably ever
Speaker 3: at this point. But Chris is a swob, as we
Speaker 3: all know, which has to do with what not exactly sure.
Speaker 3: Did you see the video of speaking to politicians and
Speaker 3: criticizing their body shapes and strength? Did you see the
Speaker 3: video of mom Dani trying to lift the weights? Just pathetic?
Speaker 3: I don't I can't imagine why he set himself up
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 6: And it was at some event called Men's Day in
Speaker 6: Brooklyn and yeah, like this was a display of guys
Speaker 6: showing off their strength and here comes this toothpick.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's all these big giant dudes out there
Speaker 3: lifting weights and he's doing the political thing going around
Speaker 3: shaking babies and kissing hands and U and wants to
Speaker 3: get involved in the workout. Well he is he unaware
Speaker 3: of his own physical strength.
Speaker 7: Did he maybe think he could lift that? Well, he
Speaker 7: only got a root awake.
Speaker 3: If you're a regular gym goer, I've known at a
Speaker 3: glance what that weighs for I don't know forty years.
Speaker 3: If you go to the gym a lot, one plate
Speaker 3: on each side, an Olympic bar is going to be
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty five pounds. Yeah, and you can
Speaker 3: either lift that or you can you get two plates
Speaker 3: on there. It's two twenty five. I mean, people just
Speaker 3: know this. If you go to Jim's a lot. Did
Speaker 3: he just not know? Apparently he did not know that.
Speaker 3: But anyway, he lays down underneath the bar, he really struggles.
Speaker 3: They have to help it up, help him get it
Speaker 3: up off his chest, or he would have dined. They
Speaker 3: should have just left him there. You're on your own, dude,
Speaker 3: he would have died under that thing.
Speaker 6: There was a guy on either side of the bar,
Speaker 6: and one standing directly over mom Donnie with both of
Speaker 6: his hands under I mean this, I don't even know
Speaker 6: if mom Donnie was.
Speaker 3: Touching it, But why did he set himself up for
Speaker 3: that ridicule? What an odd thing to do? That would
Speaker 3: be like would be an example of me? Uh, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I haven't played golf in twenty five years.
Speaker 3: If there's some golf of it, hey, oh, let me
Speaker 3: take a shot and just step up there, having not
Speaker 3: swung a golf club in a quarter of a cent.
Speaker 3: I'm setting myself up for ridicule by shanking it off,
Speaker 3: Which is why would I do that?
Speaker 6: Mab Do you think his ego's so big that that
Speaker 6: wasn't even on his radar? That maybe he could just
Speaker 6: go in there and the fact that he was there
Speaker 6: was cool.
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a weird one though, and it's
Speaker 3: not significant. I don't care how much some may can lift.
Speaker 3: I care about their brain and what their opinions are.
Speaker 3: But I just thought that was like such a weird
Speaker 3: self own. I'm happy it happened. He is a He
Speaker 3: is a scrawny little communist.
Speaker 7: Man got those weird little hands.
Speaker 3: I haven't noticed his tiny little.
Speaker 7: I have a hand, say, I have a weird thing
Speaker 7: about hands.
Speaker 6: And I just noticed, like the way he the way
Speaker 6: his mannerisms are.
Speaker 3: And uh, I've noticed how a lot of women do.
Speaker 3: Why why do a lot of women pay so much
Speaker 3: attention to men's hands.
Speaker 7: I don't know, I think I don't know. I actually
Speaker 7: I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 3: I've known half a dozen women, kno have comments about
Speaker 3: men's hands.
Speaker 7: And you now you know more than that. I'm the
Speaker 7: same way.
Speaker 3: I never think about somebody's hands. I wonder if it's
Speaker 3: some sort of strength thing or I.
Speaker 6: Think there's a strength and cleanliness aspect cliness. Yeah, but
Speaker 6: like when you have like weak, little like soft looking
Speaker 6: hands on a dude, I'm sorry for you.
Speaker 3: That's interesting. Okay, we will finish strong next farm Strong
Speaker 3: and Getty.
Speaker 12: I don't think they were close friends or I certainly
Speaker 12: never witnessed the president in any of I don't recall
Speaker 12: it ever seeing him in his house.
Speaker 13: And did you ever hear mister Epstein or anybody say
Speaker 13: that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with Messuss or
Speaker 13: with anybody in your world.
Speaker 2: Absolutely never in any context.
Speaker 3: So that's Kleine Maxwell and the interview that she did
Speaker 3: with the number two who at the Justice Department, what
Speaker 3: a couple of Fridays ago, eight nine hours of questioning.
Speaker 3: Nobody's exactly sure why she was being questioned at all,
Speaker 3: but asked if Trump and Epstein how good of friends
Speaker 3: they were, she said, not close friends and she never
Speaker 3: saw Trump do anything inappropriate ever. Of course, the backstory
Speaker 3: is that she did that interview, said that, and like
Speaker 3: three days later got moved from a pretty serious prison
Speaker 3: to a club fed which is kind of like being
Speaker 3: at a community college campus. You're not allowed to leave
Speaker 3: as so far as the prison goes. So you know,
Speaker 3: there was some speculation that there was an exchange there.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I still don't have any Even back
Speaker 3: to Chris Christie, who hates Donald Trump, he was asked
Speaker 3: about this yesterday on ABC This Week, and he said,
Speaker 3: he said, I have no indication in all my years
Speaker 3: of being around Donald Trump that he's the kind of
Speaker 3: guy that would have been involved in this sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: Even Chris Christie said that. Anyway, I want to hear
Speaker 3: a little more from Maxwell. Does she think that Epstein
Speaker 3: killed himself or not?
Speaker 2: So you think he was? He was?
Speaker 3: He did not die by suicide given all the things we.
Speaker 8: Just talked about.
Speaker 12: Do you not believe that, paciously.
Speaker 14: And do you believe that? Do you have any speculation
Speaker 14: or view of who killed him?
Speaker 3: I don't, So she thinks Epstein did not kill himself,
Speaker 3: which is interesting. And she goes on to explain a
Speaker 3: little bit about the blackmail and how easy it is
Speaker 3: to get somebody killed in prison.
Speaker 14: If you don't believe that there's any truth to the
Speaker 14: allegations of blackmail, or that he had kind of a list,
Speaker 14: or that he had reasons to how people hate him,
Speaker 14: why would somebody kill him in prison?
Speaker 15: Where I am, they'll kill you before they don't pay.
Speaker 15: Somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you. Four twenty
Speaker 15: five daughter is worth of commissary. There's about the going
Speaker 15: rate for a hit with a lock today.
Speaker 14: So that goes to the third reason, which is kind
Speaker 14: of the mismanagement or the short fallings are shortcomings of
Speaker 14: the fear of prisons.
Speaker 3: Yes, so, well, she's been lying in her whole life,
Speaker 3: as we all know. She's a scumbag. She was finding
Speaker 3: teen troubled teen girls, underage teen girls and literally pimping
Speaker 3: them out, turning them into sex slaves, basically for Epstein
Speaker 3: for years. So she's a bad person, and she got convicted,
Speaker 3: and she was in a real prison. But would she
Speaker 3: have knowledge that the going rate for a hit in
Speaker 3: prison is twenty five dollars worth of stuff at the commissary.
Speaker 3: I just find that hard to believe. I would. I
Speaker 3: would feel like there'd be a lot more prison murders
Speaker 3: if it were that. I mean, she made it seem
Speaker 3: like it just constantly happening. People being killed. You only
Speaker 3: have to pay twenty five bucks. It's just so easy
Speaker 3: to kill somebody and you get away with it. I guess,
Speaker 3: I just I know what happens in prison, but it's
Speaker 3: not constant.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I didn't like the way that that whole
Speaker 6: clip was kind of mapped to the way she said,
Speaker 6: well in prison where I am.
Speaker 7: It was just like a.
Speaker 6: Real SOB story almost right when she doesn't deserve that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to be in prison,
Speaker 3: Maybe don't find some troubled fifteen year old and set
Speaker 3: her up to be raped by an old prince.
Speaker 6: Prince Andrew, This is a I never really looked at
Speaker 6: the facility where she is. Now, you're right, it's a
Speaker 6: it's a it's a community college campus. She can't leave, Oh,
Speaker 6: sprawling grounds. I see a garden, some tables and shares
Speaker 6: with umbrellas.
Speaker 3: And you basically have like dorm rooms for your for
Speaker 3: your cells. Using my finger quotes, I know, I mean
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be confined. Who would
Speaker 3: away from your family and all that. But I could
Speaker 3: spend the rest of my life somewhere there and be
Speaker 3: moderately happy, I mean, if I had to. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: what was that deal all about? Nobody's exactly sure. There's
Speaker 3: eight and a half hours of this audio tape. I've
Speaker 3: only heard those clips and it's been out since Friday,
Speaker 3: so I'm guessing there's nothing else there of any note,
Speaker 3: or you would have heard it already. And we don't
Speaker 3: have any idea if she's being honest or not, because
Speaker 3: she's a line scumback and she's going to say whatever
Speaker 3: benefits are the most, which is the problem with ever
Speaker 3: talking to people in prison. They got lots to gain
Speaker 3: by lying sometimes, so they do. I would like to know, Ay,
Speaker 3: she got moved from a real prison to the cushy
Speaker 3: prison though.
Speaker 7: Yeah, do you think it's that easy.
Speaker 3: To have somebody killed in prison? No? I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't think so, twicks Worth of Commissary.
Speaker 3: I just I don't believe that we would know that,
Speaker 3: wouldn't we if it was that, If it was that
Speaker 3: Shawshank redemption in there.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, it would be I mean prison, Like you said,
Speaker 6: prison hits would be way more common if it was
Speaker 6: twenty five bucks a commissary, right did.
Speaker 3: There'd be protests and people standing up for it, and
Speaker 3: it would be an issue about what we need to
Speaker 3: do to make our prison step because I'm I am
Speaker 3: not while while I, on the one hand, I don't
Speaker 3: care much about what happens to scumbags. We can't have
Speaker 3: extrajudicial killings and rapings in that sort of stuff willy nilly,
Speaker 3: because that's that's not good for anybody. It's final thoughts.
Speaker 2: Use so well her.
Speaker 3: Comments and.
Speaker 2: Yes, closer Ah the show.
Speaker 3: Love that, huh, Blind Boys of Alabama. There here's your
Speaker 3: host for final thoughts, me Jack Armstrong is Joe's on
Speaker 3: vacation in Great Britain. Let's check in with our what
Speaker 3: do we call you? Technical director? Michael Aangelo this morning. Michael,
Speaker 3: what do you got for us?
Speaker 5: All I can say, Jack is I really wouldn't have
Speaker 5: blamed you if you had tipped over that boat, you know,
Speaker 5: on that old man. I think you were well within
Speaker 5: your right to tip over that boat on that guy.
Speaker 3: I almost did on accident. Well that's I mean, man,
Speaker 3: it's really easy to flip a sailboat.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was not wearing a life preserver. I'm swimming
Speaker 3: as fast as I can to save you. I really am.
Speaker 3: Here's her Katie Katy the news Lady Katie Green with
Speaker 3: a final thought.
Speaker 7: Mine's more of like a state. You never told us
Speaker 7: what you wore to your sailing.
Speaker 3: Oh. I just wore stuff to keep the sun off
Speaker 3: me because it was so sunny out. There's one hundred
Speaker 3: and four degrees in sunny.
Speaker 7: But all right, fair enough.
Speaker 3: But one of the old women who did show up,
Speaker 3: I was the youngest person there. One of the older
Speaker 3: women that showed up, she showed up in a I'm
Speaker 3: super cute sailor outfit. She had a little sailor skirt
Speaker 3: and a sailor hat and everything like that. She didn't
Speaker 3: come back for day two. I don't think it was
Speaker 3: quite as fun and relaxing as she was hoping, because
Speaker 3: it was not relaxing. Sailing is hard. Here's my final thought.
Speaker 3: Trump's meeting with the president of South Korea and wearing
Speaker 3: a Make America Shipbuilding Great Again hat? Did you know
Speaker 3: that South Korea is the number two shipbuilder in the
Speaker 3: world and we're doing deals with them to get our
Speaker 3: shipbuilding caught back up to speed. We'll probably have more
Speaker 3: details on that tomorrow. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another
Speaker 3: grueling four hour workday. Buy some of our gear at
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty dot com. We'll see tomorrow. God Bliss America.
Speaker 3: I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 1: There have been so many magnificent moments on today's Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty show, perhaps none.
Speaker 2: Fine other than this.
Speaker 3: Yes, Michael has a question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you constantly hear the Benny Hill theme and
Speaker 5: you go through the streets.
Speaker 3: Of things like you're gonna lose it one.
Speaker 2: And a half speed?
Speaker 1: That's right, No, Michael, No, forgot so Armstrong and Getty
