Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Get and Keep Arms.
Speaker 2: From Studio c Hey Signor It's Fride Deep, the Fowls,
Speaker 2: the Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound and today We're toiling
Speaker 2: under the title of the show Markie Calendar's three possible
Speaker 2: titles Today, It's a very special day. Number one. We're
Speaker 2: at peak evil and peak stupid. It's like a blood
Speaker 2: winter wolf, gut wrenching moon for humanity be at peak
Speaker 2: evil and peak stupid at the same time. Not easy
Speaker 2: to Other titles include Booth assassinates, Lincoln Authorities, Unsure of
Speaker 2: the Motive, and a rare DS designation It's DF.
Speaker 1: Did you hear.
Speaker 2: That Donald Trump's the president put the DS designation on Iran?
Speaker 1: He called them deranged scumbags. I saw that in his
Speaker 1: truth social post in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: Yes, he said, what was it that they're going to
Speaker 2: have a day unlike the worst day of their life?
Speaker 1: Is what'd he say? I'll bring that up. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a worst day so far or something like that.
Speaker 1: Pete Hegzeth just said that, Uh, Iran's shooting stuff back
Speaker 1: at people dropped in ninety percent yesterday, the last first
Speaker 1: night in Israel last night, that they sirens didn't go
Speaker 1: off first time of the of the fourteen day war,
Speaker 1: that they didn't have any sirens go off overnight, and
Speaker 1: bigger I think. Pete Hegseth said that the new lead
Speaker 1: of Iran is severely wounded and likely disfigured, which I
Speaker 1: was wondering. I wonder if they have intel on that
Speaker 1: or is that just really great syops or maybe obvious
Speaker 1: syops of So show your face if you're not disfigured,
Speaker 1: trying to force the guy to show his face, which
Speaker 1: makes it more likely we figure out where he is.
Speaker 1: I guess it's eleven dimensional chess. Here's the quote.
Speaker 2: Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today?
Speaker 1: Trump soud in the middle of the night he sent that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he like doesn't go to sleep or wakes
Speaker 2: up and rolls over and thinks of oh, the deranged
Speaker 2: scum bag.
Speaker 1: Wait till you see what happens a day to the
Speaker 1: deranged scumbags. Where's my phone, Malania, where's my phone? I
Speaker 1: need to put out a statement. Go back to bed Donald.
Speaker 1: That's like they're sleeping together in the same bed. That's
Speaker 1: Joe Getty's rendering of the bedroom of the President. I
Speaker 1: tried to do Trump the other day in my kitchen.
Speaker 2: I was listening to him on the TV and was
Speaker 2: trying to do an imitation of him and couldn't even
Speaker 2: come close. It's just a voice. For whatever reason, the
Speaker 2: my throat can't do it. Yeah, there aren't that many
Speaker 2: people that can. Apparently Shane Gillis is sure certainly good
Speaker 2: at it, the comedian. We're avoiding getting to this because
Speaker 2: who wants to talk about this on a Friday. Apparently
Speaker 2: the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it. Because
Speaker 2: I watched MSNBC for a good fifteen minutes. They not
Speaker 2: only did not talk about the fact that we've had
Speaker 2: three ISIS attacks in a week.
Speaker 1: They didn't even tease that coming up. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that story. They're just all about how the war is
Speaker 1: failing and all the mistakes the administration has made. You
Speaker 1: don't think it's interesting that we've had three ISIS inspired attacks,
Speaker 1: two of them direct contact in a week, and then
Speaker 1: you could add in the beatdown that happened just you know,
Speaker 1: near the radio station here of a couple of guys
Speaker 1: speaking Hebrew get beat down in the street.
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like they're shooting at the US embassy
Speaker 2: in Canada. Was almost certainly related, right, So that'd be
Speaker 2: anyway four or five in North America in a week.
Speaker 2: You don't think that's an interesting story. Nobody finds that
Speaker 2: to be a trend. Remember when the whole Asian hate
Speaker 2: crime against Asians was like a big topic and it
Speaker 2: wasn't even real. No, no, I'm reminded of when Donald
Speaker 2: J said that he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue
Speaker 2: and his followers, his fans would still be with him,
Speaker 2: and the media acted like that was a horrible outrage.
Speaker 2: How about this one? Fundamentalist Muslims could shoot up, or
Speaker 2: ram or attack multiple synagogues and Jews all over America
Speaker 2: and the mainstream media wouldn't say a word. That's an
Speaker 2: overstatement because they are covering it. But man, they're trying
Speaker 2: to bury.
Speaker 1: It, man, I'd say, and then bury what is actually
Speaker 1: going on? So they had to lead with it on
Speaker 1: your big evening newscasts last night because it was such
Speaker 1: a big story. But I was riding around with my
Speaker 1: son as we're listening to the news. I said, let's
Speaker 1: see how.
Speaker 2: Long they get they go before they gettle around to
Speaker 2: ever mentioning that this is a radical Muslim killing Jews?
Speaker 1: Is what's going on here? I mean? And it was
Speaker 1: way deep in the story before they ever mentioned the
Speaker 1: guy's name. And then you'd you know, you got to
Speaker 1: draw your own conclusions. The still a still trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what the motive might be in an angry
Speaker 1: Muslim crashing his car into a school full of little
Speaker 1: Jewish kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably a robbery. Probably a robbery or a divorce
Speaker 2: custody suit.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that is, you know, one of these several
Speaker 2: things that came together in my head. Further the title
Speaker 2: were at peak evil and peak stupid. It's just I
Speaker 2: don't know what to make of my country at this point. Now.
Speaker 2: The first normal people I think are behaving normally. It's
Speaker 2: it's my great sin is looking at the world through
Speaker 2: the eyes of the media, which is perverse.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at fox US on edge after attacks at
Speaker 1: synagogue in college yesterday.
Speaker 2: Well, the US is not on edge. I don't know
Speaker 2: how much of the US is on edge. According to CNN,
Speaker 2: Nemicon BC. It's not on edge at all, because I
Speaker 2: don't see anything about this story.
Speaker 1: We've always wondered why attempts at horror that just barely
Speaker 1: come up short of being horrible are treated completely different
Speaker 1: than the successful ones because the intent was the same.
Speaker 1: And I assume this would be the only story in
Speaker 1: America if that guy had been successful and murdered eighty
Speaker 1: four year olds, which he certainly could have done.
Speaker 2: Good lord, I mean, that could have been among the
Speaker 2: worst stories ever.
Speaker 1: That was certainly his intent. It would seem crashing his
Speaker 1: truck into that synagogue in the school full of little kids,
Speaker 1: four and five year olds with a gun.
Speaker 2: And explosives and everything, Oh my god, that could have
Speaker 2: been horrible. But the fact that luckily there's a security
Speaker 2: guard that had to beat on him and shot him.
Speaker 1: It's since it didn't happen, you ignore the intent.
Speaker 2: I don't know your here, by the way, that security guard.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, yeah, I get what you mean. It's like,
Speaker 2: it's not real until the aim is fulfilled. The threat
Speaker 2: is not real until money is successful.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just stupid. If it would have been
Speaker 1: if it had had been the random shootings that we
Speaker 1: often have just a disgruntled teenager angry at the world,
Speaker 1: and you had two in one day, it'd be the
Speaker 1: lead story because it'd be all about, you know, the
Speaker 1: evil of the United States and our mass shootings and
Speaker 1: Republicans not refusing to pass common sense gun legislation and
Speaker 1: all the stuff that they say after a shooting.
Speaker 2: But because these were clearly a thing, two within a
Speaker 2: couple of hours of each other, where you got, you know,
Speaker 2: screaming allah acbarn Muslims wanting to kill Jews. They just
Speaker 2: didn't know the whole shooting thing well right, And one
Speaker 2: was a felon who shouldn't have a gun at all,
Speaker 2: so you have an extra excuse to go with the
Speaker 2: gun laws angle, which is the wrong angle anyway usually.
Speaker 2: But they're not even doing that. They are, so that's
Speaker 2: a great point. They are so uncomfortable with reporting this story.
Speaker 2: They're not even going with the usual tropes about guns.
Speaker 2: They're just hands off.
Speaker 1: Don't say anything bad about the fundamentalist Muslims. So what
Speaker 1: is that is that is that fear? It's it's fear
Speaker 1: and wokeness. Man.
Speaker 2: They were dancing around what actually happened yesterday. When they
Speaker 2: did talk about it, and then the next day it's
Speaker 2: just not a story.
Speaker 1: This is a big problem. You know, what would be a.
Speaker 2: Really interesting experiment is if you went to media figures
Speaker 2: or college professors or you know, you're leading woke crowd,
Speaker 2: and said, name one issue or thing that's happening in
Speaker 2: the world where the United States is on the right
Speaker 2: side of it, where the US are the good guys.
Speaker 1: That'd be a good one.
Speaker 2: And if they struggle for more than like a second
Speaker 2: and a half, you'll know that they are just utterly
Speaker 2: perverted in their thinking and they are as the I mean,
Speaker 2: for instance, it would be well, certainly, you know, fundamentalist
Speaker 2: Muslims who want to return women to to just slavery,
Speaker 2: and they actually have slavery, and they believe in rape
Speaker 2: as a punishment. Blah blah blah, just one hundred different things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the US and our Bill of Rights is one hundred
Speaker 2: percent on the right side of that one.
Speaker 1: They could not utter those words. We never did get
Speaker 1: to the poll. Maybe we'll do it today as the
Speaker 1: most depressing show in America. We saved it for Friday.
Speaker 1: This worldwide poll. The United States is the only country
Speaker 1: in the world where a majority of citizens think their
Speaker 1: other citizens are evil, that the people they live with
Speaker 1: their evil were the only country that thinks that about ourselves.
Speaker 1: That ain't good. That's weird, that's bad. I wonder if
Speaker 1: it's ever even happened in history. So anyway, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that among other things coming up later. We got
Speaker 1: to start the show officially.
Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna like they used to sayd money
Speaker 2: python and now for something completely different.
Speaker 1: That's what we'll do to start the show officially. I'm
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is another
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth. That's two months in a row. What
Speaker 1: is that all about? Friday the thirteenth. You're twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: We are I'm strung at getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: You do have bigfoot sightings really on the rise to
Speaker 2: so look out. Anyway, let's be get the show officially.
Speaker 2: Now according to season.
Speaker 1: Well, he's just said to be nine feet tall, so
Speaker 1: are you minimizing that's right? From a nine foot tall.
Speaker 2: Free beast London origin, Good lord man, get out of
Speaker 2: war footing here we go.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah at Mark, when was the.
Speaker 3: Last time you've made butter and ran simultaneously.
Speaker 1: You may be asking yourself why her who? Question is
Speaker 1: why not hear that? That's the sound of butter treing
Speaker 1: to juice the butt. Now we have to juice the butter,
Speaker 1: bring the butter out. I don't know. Now that is
Speaker 1: how you make butter and run simultaneously.
Speaker 2: So you brought this to us, Katie. Is this a
Speaker 2: TikTok trend or a challenge or what is this? Running
Speaker 2: and churning butter at the same time? This is a Michaelangelo. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's my face of disgust through that.
Speaker 1: Michael. What is this? Michael? You put heavy cream and
Speaker 1: salt in a backpack and then as you've run there
Speaker 1: with the butter making But what is the combining with running?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because as you run up and down with your feet,
Speaker 2: it churned the butter and creates Yeah, well you do
Speaker 2: end up with butter, Katie, I mean, but you have
Speaker 2: to run, Joe, Well, that's not going to happen. My
Speaker 2: question is purely theoretical discussion with all these things. And
Speaker 2: we had a dumb one earlier in the week.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It was a TikTok trend or something.
Speaker 2: And we wondered if does the trend include even two people?
Speaker 2: But want the young people run out of these things.
Speaker 2: At some point you got to run out, right. I
Speaker 2: feel like we're near the end.
Speaker 1: You're running and churning, butter, You're gonna run out of things,
Speaker 1: and you're just gonna have to accept the visit is.
Speaker 2: Humanity will catch up to me, because you know, often
Speaker 2: these trends are brought up, the new trend is this,
Speaker 2: and I'll say, no, it's not. And I think most
Speaker 2: of humanity, including young people, are going to realize, no,
Speaker 2: that's not. Three people did that. Who cares. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna I have life to use me, I have work
Speaker 2: to do. Everybody is not doing this.
Speaker 4: They'll come up with another word to call it. They'll
Speaker 4: drop the trend thing and come up with something else.
Speaker 1: Yes, Michael, at least they're being productive, exactly. It's true.
Speaker 2: It's better than sitting on your couch and not dating
Speaker 2: and watching video games. It's funny you would say they'll
Speaker 2: drop the trend, because I just the trend is dropping.
Speaker 2: I just found out what a drop is. I was
Speaker 2: not familiar with that term. Evidently that's the hottest thing
Speaker 2: in marketing. It's like when Starbucks drops their Barry Stuck coup.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but now everything's a drop and it's it's
Speaker 2: almost hilarious the things that they're trying to create, that
Speaker 2: sort of mob.
Speaker 1: Oh, I must have that excitement over.
Speaker 2: Stop it, humanity, stop it. Get a job or have
Speaker 2: a child or something.
Speaker 1: We're looking at the cover of the California Post before
Speaker 1: we go to break is lomist terror in the USA?
Speaker 2: That probably should be the cover or lead of everything.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised because the USA is pretty woke. It's California Post,
Speaker 2: the New Californy. I'm sorry, I'm mishard. Yeah, that's a weirdness.
Speaker 2: That is accurate. Longest terror in the USA should be
Speaker 2: a giant story. Anyway, We've got Katie's headlines on the week,
Speaker 2: We've got clips of the week. We got so much today,
Speaker 2: I hope you can stay here.
Speaker 1: Got some economic news, got some AI news, got some
Speaker 1: an interesting Oscar thing. Even if you hate the oscars
Speaker 1: because the oscars are Sunday plus lobster gate.
Speaker 2: We've not been on that. No, we have, like the
Speaker 2: mainstream media has stupid, speaking of peak stupid. But let's
Speaker 2: figure out who's reporting lot. It's lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4: Katie starting with the Alphabet networks talking about Iran. CNN
Speaker 4: the Trump administration underestimated Iran's war impact on the straits
Speaker 4: of her Moos. NBC Pete hag Set says new Supreme
Speaker 4: leader was quote wounded and likely disfigured. Calls out weak
Speaker 4: written statement and ABC four dead after US refueling aircraft
Speaker 4: goes down in western Iraq.
Speaker 1: Yeah, four more guys.
Speaker 4: Rough from the Financial Times, France and Italy open talks
Speaker 4: with Iran and bid to secure safe or moose passage.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. What kind of talks are What kind of
Speaker 1: talks are you going to have? France?
Speaker 2: Italy near ballplayers don't even da they couldn't find Italy
Speaker 2: on a map.
Speaker 1: Ponies from Fox.
Speaker 4: String of attacks across the United States puts nation on
Speaker 4: full alert.
Speaker 2: It should I don't know that it has. I guarantee
Speaker 2: you the Jewish community is on full alert. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. How do you hear debating? How secure can
Speaker 2: we make our synagogues and and temples? I mean, are
Speaker 2: we gonna have like an army division out front?
Speaker 1: It's insane? Can you imagine? I mean, because after nine
Speaker 1: to eleven man, we were such on the lookout for
Speaker 1: Islamists and their violence, but now that it's targeting Jews alone, No,
Speaker 1: not as much interest.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you'd had this number of al Qaeda
Speaker 2: inspired terrorist attacks in a week in two thousand.
Speaker 1: And three, Oh my god boy.
Speaker 2: The gift of the open borders Joe Biden gave us
Speaker 2: just keeps on giving too.
Speaker 4: From the Daily Mail, frozen brains reawaken an astonishing medical breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Whoa, so people who have done that whole thing where
Speaker 1: they freeze their head, they're bringing the brains back around.
Speaker 4: Apparently part of the tissue is waking up.
Speaker 2: Have they worked on Ted Williams yet, he's the most
Speaker 2: famous frozen brain I know of in that World Baseball class,
Speaker 2: the splendid splinter get Ted Williams in the lineup. Do
Speaker 2: have time to reanimate Ted Williams' brain, get it into
Speaker 2: a player and get him on the field before we
Speaker 2: take on the Japanese.
Speaker 4: Speaking of brains, from Study Fines, your brain has a
Speaker 4: quote distraction window that opens seven times per second.
Speaker 1: Watch I would like to know more about that.
Speaker 4: And finally, from the Babylon b Democrats condemn heg Seth
Speaker 4: for using money to feed the soldiers when it could
Speaker 4: have easily gone.
Speaker 1: To Somali daycares. So that gets into the lobster gate
Speaker 1: thing that we haven't discussed.
Speaker 2: So we'll have to lay that all out, or Joe
Speaker 2: will lay on that all out. Could I still have
Speaker 2: a baby intention to it? I'm beginning to think we
Speaker 2: need to rethink the First Amendment. The free press is
Speaker 2: no longer worth having.
Speaker 1: We've got clips of the week on the way and
Speaker 1: more news of the day to get into. Trump is
Speaker 1: speaking about the Warren Iran that Thready put out last
Speaker 1: night about the scumbags.
Speaker 2: Is that what he called them, deranged scumbags? All right,
Speaker 2: all on the way. If you missed a segment, get the.
Speaker 1: Podcast Armstrong and getdy. Hey, how you doing? Hope you're
Speaker 1: doing fine?
Speaker 2: He wave all across the United States for the most part,
Speaker 2: gonna be hot, lots of places like all over the country,
Speaker 2: like crazy hot. Sorry, I'm preoccupied. I was just reading
Speaker 2: a story about AI and the story about reanimating human brains,
Speaker 2: and it became clear.
Speaker 1: To me that the.
Speaker 2: Threat is less Chinese robot dogs with machine gun mouths
Speaker 2: and more computer powered zombies. So I've just had to
Speaker 2: adjust my thinking on that. So all right, it's the
Speaker 2: Friday traditional. Let's taking fun look back at the week
Speaker 2: that was. It's col clips of the week.
Speaker 1: It's the killing of ayatola An. Iran is reposedly naming
Speaker 1: his successor well Sabahammadai is known as the shadow printing.
Speaker 2: President Trump has warned that Iran's next leader won't last long.
Speaker 2: What did he picked the wrong week to be a
Speaker 2: Nepo baby.
Speaker 1: He was in the hospital for two months for lack
Speaker 1: of erection.
Speaker 4: No, I don't want to brag, but you know, they
Speaker 4: said this about a lot of things.
Speaker 2: Still, as a president could do some of this shit
Speaker 2: I'm doing.
Speaker 5: You could see black smoke rising from the horizon in
Speaker 5: tiff Ran, people on the ground even.
Speaker 1: Describing it as raining oil.
Speaker 4: The national average for a gallon of gas now at
Speaker 4: three dollars fifty nine cents.
Speaker 1: The Russians said that they have not been sharing. That's
Speaker 1: that's what they said. So let's hope that they're not sharing.
Speaker 2: You just said it is a little obscursion, and you
Speaker 2: said it is a worse, So which one is as.
Speaker 1: Well as both. The NYPD says this device was indeed
Speaker 1: an improvised explosive.
Speaker 3: Device after an attempt to terror attack against New York's
Speaker 3: from mayors Or on Mumdanni and the House Speaker. I
Speaker 3: incorrectly said that the bombs that were thrown by ISIS
Speaker 3: inspired suspects in New York over the weekend were directed
Speaker 3: at Mayor Mum Donnie.
Speaker 1: They were not.
Speaker 2: Each day we're told by those in houfs to fear
Speaker 2: each other and to turn on each other.
Speaker 1: Something that you love that's not family or friends. I
Speaker 1: love trans children, people, you know.
Speaker 2: But for me, Nobos is standing up for ideals, striking
Speaker 2: out against injustice and define.
Speaker 1: That's my wife three. Basically, shut the film, do your
Speaker 1: art and shut up. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 6: Who is it from shopolising the criminal? The idea of
Speaker 6: not getting enough protein that really reminds me of toxic masculinity.
Speaker 1: Oh he's doing it, Emma is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: snakes in Sneak Yoga. It's just a different vibe. Judd
Speaker 1: swags and missus and Annaly has pulled off a stunner.
Speaker 1: You're welcome to USA. We were thinking of you guys.
Speaker 1: It's clips of the week. There you go, quite a
Speaker 1: week as usual. I'm keeping an eye on this is
Speaker 1: happening live Senator Alissa Slotkin. You might not know her,
Speaker 1: maybe you do. She's a Democrat from Michigan. She's given
Speaker 1: quite the barn burner of a speech right now. It
Speaker 1: looks like about the epidemic of hate against Jewish people
Speaker 1: in this country and how this, what happened in Michigan
Speaker 1: was clearly a hate crime, and so she, as a
Speaker 1: Democratic senator, is running against the grain of the mainstream
Speaker 1: media on this. Certainly good for her, but we'll get
Speaker 1: some uh clips of that coming up a little bit later.
Speaker 2: So the baseball clip reminded me, and you mentioned this
Speaker 2: the other day. I think you were onto something that
Speaker 2: you got the USA team, which is a bunch of
Speaker 2: American ball players wearing red, white and blue UNI for
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Class an all star team if you will, right,
Speaker 2: And then you've got the Italian team, which is a
Speaker 2: bunch of American ball players wearing red and green. But
Speaker 2: they're the underdogs, they're the pasted over guys.
Speaker 1: They would have played for the USA team if they
Speaker 1: could have made the team almost certainly.
Speaker 2: And they are to a man. I think Americans. There
Speaker 2: might be an Italian or two but baseball is practically
Speaker 2: unknown in Italy. Nobody plays it, so it's kind of
Speaker 2: silly that they have a team at all. But I mean,
Speaker 2: if you want to root for Americans, who are the
Speaker 2: scrappy under dogs.
Speaker 1: Right, got to root for Italy? Right? Yeah? It doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's not exactly like during the Olympics. It doesn't. I
Speaker 1: don't feel like a bad person if I'm rooting for
Speaker 1: the American guys playing for Italy that didn't make the
Speaker 1: team and now they're thrilled that they're beaten Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: and whoever, and.
Speaker 2: Even saying what I said, you got to root for Italy,
Speaker 2: what does that even mean?
Speaker 1: The shirt says Italy, so what so you're rooting for
Speaker 1: that shirt? They're American guys. There's also a breaking news
Speaker 1: we'll have to dig into a little bit about how
Speaker 1: the economy they downgraded, how the economy did at the
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five. Is there any reason to
Speaker 1: pay attention to these numbers when they come out?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Why was there? The jobs numbers come out Friday. The
Speaker 1: job's numbers came out to day. The jobs numbers just
Speaker 1: came out, analysis, analysis, analysis, and then you wait three
Speaker 1: four months and then you say, all that was wrong?
Speaker 1: Why do we do this? What is the point of this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's funny the way habits become. I
Speaker 2: mean they're impossible to break, especially for the media, Like
Speaker 2: anybody who spends any time studying the stock market. No,
Speaker 2: citing the down industrial average is silly. There's just no
Speaker 2: reason to do it because the way it's composed and
Speaker 2: the differences with the S and P five hundred. Google
Speaker 2: it if you want to learn about it. But everybody
Speaker 2: still does. And in the same way, we've been quoting
Speaker 2: these economic statistics that came to be during a period
Speaker 2: where there was excellent data gathering, HI quick response rates,
Speaker 2: so the data was valued valid. Now we have very
Speaker 2: very low response rates, much of it terribly terribly delayed,
Speaker 2: But we continue to recite those figures as if they're
Speaker 2: the same thing.
Speaker 1: It reminds me, in a weird way of.
Speaker 2: Your discussion of one hundred dollars a barrel oil That
Speaker 2: means something fundamentally different than it used to because of inflation.
Speaker 2: But do we just go on repeating the same credit. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't, I'm my own man.
Speaker 1: Economic growth was slower at the end of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five than data first showed, and inflationary pressures persisted at
Speaker 1: the start of this year, a troubling snapshot of an
Speaker 1: economy on unsteady footing before the war with.
Speaker 2: Iran up ended the whale in financial markets. So they
Speaker 2: changed all the numbers that got discussed three months ago. Fine, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: uncertainty piled on uncertainty.
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll get to this next hour. I was
Speaker 1: reading Mark Halprin's newsletter today and he has tremendous sources
Speaker 1: in the White House, and he said, uh, for the
Speaker 1: first time since the war began, he feels like there
Speaker 1: are a lot of people inside the administration who were
Speaker 1: supported of supportive of the war who are getting a
Speaker 1: pretty nervous about the direction things are going and how
Speaker 1: they're going to handle this particular problem, the straits of
Speaker 1: horror moves. How is that going to be dealt with?
Speaker 1: Like they are actually didn't see this coming, really concerned.
Speaker 1: How were going to fix this problem?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: The clearest headed thinkers I've been reading, I'll say roughly
Speaker 2: the same thing.
Speaker 1: Hey, we can't stop now.
Speaker 2: You knock down the rubnets now, yeah, you got to
Speaker 2: finish the job. You can't leave the mullas the Hornets,
Speaker 2: with the ability to do terrible damage and now dead
Speaker 2: set on just to open hatred and violent resistance against
Speaker 2: the West.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't I don't buy the Powell doctrine of
Speaker 1: if you break it, you bought it or own it
Speaker 1: or whatever. Whatever. We broke it, we're leaving you fix it.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. But in this particular case, since
Speaker 1: they blocked off twenty percent of oil traffic, we gotta
Speaker 1: fix that.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Well, we certainly can't let it continue indefinitely.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's ridiculous, which has changed the calculus obviously,
Speaker 2: because we started it when we wanted to, and certainly,
Speaker 2: in my mind, I'm probably in Trump's mind, it felt
Speaker 2: like and we'll end it when we want to, that's all.
Speaker 1: Now Iran has a real say in when it ends
Speaker 1: and how it ends, unless we can force them to
Speaker 1: not be able to attack those ships anymore. And then
Speaker 1: the news Financial Times reporting that France and Italy are
Speaker 1: negotiating with Iran to try to get their ships through.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what their bargaining position would be. What
Speaker 1: are they gonna offer a ray about their leadership? Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Cron will have his panties in a twist when he
Speaker 2: reads that statement. Huh wow, yeah, you heard me. So

Speaker 1: Watch the health benefits come alive with. So the Democratic
Speaker 1: senator there in Michigan came out and said, we've got
Speaker 1: an epidemic of hate and violence against Jews. And now
Speaker 1: the Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer just came out and said
Speaker 1: that said basically the same thing. We have got an
Speaker 1: epidemic of hate against an epidemic of anti Semitism, which
Speaker 1: was a word not used on the newscasts I watched
Speaker 1: last night. They didn't even though you had two attacks
Speaker 1: within an hour that were obviously that they were unwilling
Speaker 1: to connect the dots and claim that we have any
Speaker 1: rise in anti Semitism or that it's a problem, so
Speaker 1: that it's Muslims attacking Jews, period. So good on the
Speaker 1: Democratic senators of a state where they're there are a
Speaker 1: lot of Muslim voters for coming out and saying what
Speaker 1: is the case?
Speaker 2: I agree, that's big, That is significant because that's and
Speaker 2: I hate to even say this, like any insane human
Speaker 2: being would even consider it, but it is a political
Speaker 2: risk and something they have been loathed to do in
Speaker 2: the past because of the huge Muslim voting blocks around
Speaker 2: Detroit especially.
Speaker 1: Maybe it will give cover to NBC and ABC and
Speaker 1: whoever else to treat this as what it is. We've
Speaker 1: got a rise of fundamentalist Islam violence again. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's beyond obvious that this is a problem. What four
Speaker 1: or five in a week? You know, even a stop
Speaker 1: clock is right twice a day. But when was that?
Speaker 1: My big thing was.
Speaker 2: It looks like the Western world has forgotten that this
Speaker 2: conflict is still raging, that we've gotten comfortable. The fundamentalist
Speaker 2: Islam versus civilization has just paused briefly, and here it
Speaker 2: is again. Well again, it never went away.
Speaker 1: It left our shores, maybe because we did such a
Speaker 1: good job with protecting ourselves or keeping them busy in
Speaker 1: other countries. But they've been attacking other countries for a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, this is an interesting one to keep
Speaker 1: our eye on. We got a whole bunch of updates
Speaker 1: on a bunch of different stories. We've got mailbag on
Speaker 1: the way next. Holy crap, I just read Katie's story
Speaker 1: she had about them. First time ever they've frozen a
Speaker 1: brain and then thought it out and it's still working
Speaker 1: and firing and stuff like that. Well, slices of a
Speaker 1: brain that rode it off yesterday. That looks like it
Speaker 1: could be what people have been talking about forever, the
Speaker 1: idea of freezing a brain and then you can thought
Speaker 1: back out and it still works.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, can we freeze mine for like five years?
Speaker 2: I'm not enjoying this, this period of America's history, and
Speaker 2: you're gonna and think it's gonna be better than five years? Man,
Speaker 2: that'd be a heck of wager. Now, what a great
Speaker 2: wager that would be. Would I rather live the next
Speaker 2: five years of my life? Now we're twenty years from now.
Speaker 2: I'm betting on twenty years from now and you go
Speaker 2: ahead and get frozen.
Speaker 1: Wow, I wouldn't make that bet with you. Elon Musk
Speaker 1: has to freeze his head.
Speaker 2: That is such a fascinating question. We got to talk
Speaker 2: about that later. All right, here's your freedom loving quote
Speaker 2: of the day. First, you been doing a series about war.
Speaker 2: This one is not exactly about war, but.
Speaker 5: It's from a great warrior, Douglas MacArthur, who said, build
Speaker 5: me a son, oh Lord, who will be strong enough
Speaker 5: to know when he is weak and brave enough to
Speaker 5: face himself when he is afraid, one who will be
Speaker 5: proud and unbending and honest defeat and humble and gentle
Speaker 5: in victory.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a eloquence from the great General. Yeah, wow, Mailbag,
Speaker 1: see the final sorting. There we go. Drop this note,
Speaker 1: Mailbag and armstrong.
Speaker 2: You getting out, Jeff and SoCal writes, saying, Frye now
Speaker 2: makes total sense. You live in the Bay Area. Is
Speaker 2: that a gay shot.
Speaker 1: At you, Jack might be. I'll not have it.
Speaker 2: It's a little Uh, it's gayish. I can see that
Speaker 2: it's gay adjacent. Yeah, let's see moving along, Oh, millennial
Speaker 2: match with a helpful note. Uh, you're talking about why
Speaker 2: Apple's transcription is so horrible. If AI is supposed to
Speaker 2: take over long and short of it is Apple's using
Speaker 2: like basic, out of date stuff, that's time bear split
Speaker 2: to the industry.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's that's a great question, but a different one, he says.
Speaker 2: If you want to see what AI transcription is actually like,
Speaker 2: a better example would be to download an app or
Speaker 2: use a tool specifically made for this. Popular ones include Typeless,
Speaker 2: Whisper with no E or whisper Flow. I personally use typeless,
Speaker 2: he writes, I'm writing this email with it as we speak.
Speaker 2: It manages grammar and formatting and nails the words with
Speaker 2: fantastic accuracy. I have over sixty five thousand words transcribed
Speaker 2: with it today. It made my work production skyrocket because
Speaker 2: I can tear through emails faster.
Speaker 1: Never Thanks Millennial on Matt. I believe it, but I
Speaker 1: believe my point is still relevant that so clearly it
Speaker 1: is not to the place where it's either cheap enough
Speaker 1: or easy enough or whatever to put it on all
Speaker 1: our phones.
Speaker 2: I'm mystified why Apple is as bad as it is
Speaker 2: they are Coop Pertino. You're listening, drop me a note,
Speaker 2: WOI a mail bag at arms strung giddy dot com.
Speaker 2: Why is your AI stuff so terrible? Still, Maybe they're
Speaker 2: trying to develop their own and they're just because they
Speaker 2: don't want to buy it from somebody and they're just
Speaker 2: having trouble.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let's see Oh Boy, Bob and East Texas on the
Speaker 2: cow slash lamb story, Jackie related to a friend back
Speaker 2: in the seventies went on a field tro probably would.
Speaker 1: Have been around nineteen eighty. I'm guessing yeah, field trip
Speaker 1: in grade school where they walked down to the butcher
Speaker 1: and they shot a steer in front of the kids
Speaker 1: and butchered it to show where meat came from. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, Bob and E's Texas. It's great to
Speaker 1: hear from you. He h a number of years ago,
Speaker 1: he sees on in years uh belong to the future
Speaker 1: Farmers of America, the FFA.
Speaker 2: In northern California, a group of us went on a
Speaker 2: field trip to a local rancher and to watch a
Speaker 2: cow butchering, something we had all seen or participated in anyway.
Speaker 2: This man, with a large knife on his side, says,
Speaker 2: follow me, So he did. We were walking down a
Speaker 2: path when we see a lamb tied up next to
Speaker 2: the path. If your kids are listening, folks may come
Speaker 2: listen because they need to toughen all.
Speaker 1: If your kids are listening, make vivolisen. We think nothing
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: The man stuff suddenly says nothing, grabs the lamb's head,
Speaker 2: reaches for the knife.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't even say yeah, I need to listen.
Speaker 1: I don't have to enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I understand the reality of it, but I don't have
Speaker 2: to look at it or ponder it all the time.
Speaker 2: Do it so he does what must be done to
Speaker 2: end the lamb's days, drops it on the ground. He
Speaker 2: starts down the path again, pulls out a rag, wipes
Speaker 2: the blade off, and says, we'll come back for this
Speaker 2: one later. I have no memory of later, and none
Speaker 2: of us said a word the rest of the visit
Speaker 2: or afterwards.
Speaker 1: Katie seems horrified by this. But you realize that is
Speaker 1: where all your meat comes from, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But like you said, I don't have to like it,
Speaker 4: or watch it or any hear about it.
Speaker 1: You gotta admit for me too, because I grew up
Speaker 1: around this stuff. It's a little.
Speaker 2: Weird that we're horrified by it. Yet I had Hamburger's
Speaker 2: last night. Oh yeah, I can't wait to have a
Speaker 2: lamb chop tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And Bob, I like your punchline, but it would take
Speaker 2: too much explaining, So thanks for the note.
Speaker 1: Let's see, do we have a minute yeah, oh oh,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Not to get serious again, but Matt's talking about the
Speaker 2: attack on the poor Jewish fellas in San Jose, which
Speaker 2: got no national attention exactly so, and it did get
Speaker 2: some regional attention. But he says, I have a friend
Speaker 2: who got into a yelling match with it a protester
Speaker 2: waving a Palestinian flag, and they yelled back and forth
Speaker 2: a little bit about you know. His friend said, if
Speaker 2: you think this country is so bad, go back to
Speaker 2: your own country. Protester says, you don't know what country
Speaker 2: I came from. My friend says, yeah, but it's probably
Speaker 2: an asshole.
Speaker 1: And that was it.
Speaker 2: Well, NBC News Local somehow somebody ran his plates on
Speaker 2: his company vehicle, figured out who he was, asked for
Speaker 2: comment from the company. He was driving an unmarked company car,
Speaker 2: but they ran his license plate and tried to.
Speaker 1: Figure out who this guy was and how dare he
Speaker 1: docked him? In effect?
Speaker 2: And you're right, and he says, Joe, you're one hundred
Speaker 2: percent correct about the Red Green Alliance. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: that's disturbing. Oh all right, let's end on a humorous note.
Speaker 2: This is a frequent correspondent, Ryan from Houston. He mentions
Speaker 2: one thing Facebook offers is it gives you memories what
Speaker 2: you posted each year on that day, Well, sixteen years ago,
Speaker 2: I wrote I can't wait to visit my mom and
Speaker 2: ride that sweet, sweet car California Bullet Train. He says,
Speaker 2: It's crazy to think a person born on that day
Speaker 2: that I posted it could be getting his driver's license
Speaker 2: and California is laid the same amount of track today
Speaker 2: that they laid the day he was born.
Speaker 1: Zero. Wow, that's true, said Ryan, that's true. We got
Speaker 1: a lot more on the way. If you miss a second,
Speaker 1: we get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Please
Speaker 1: stay tuned
