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 Jackie and he arms Yet from Studio ceas
Speaker 2: in your It is a dimly lit room deeper than
Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications combound. And
Speaker 2: today on Wednesday, we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: The Sharpie Arpy Arpy U Yucky, the mighty sharpie that
Speaker 1: Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump is wielding to craft a new age for the
Speaker 2: United States. That's a cool echo effect you came up with.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Yeah, man, I was twiddling knobs right till showtime' I'm.
Speaker 2: Ah, you can't turn it off. That stupid thing doesn't work.
Speaker 2: So what was a big AI thing yesterday, a big
Speaker 2: gathering and get together with all the top AI people
Speaker 2: in America. Well, it was.
Speaker 1: A handful of guys Larry Ellison and Sam Altman and
Speaker 1: a banker from Softbak talking about a gigantic investment in
Speaker 1: some new data centers.
Speaker 2: Building the biggest computer in the world. The biggest computer
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 1: Then, is when that's three quarters done, they're going to
Speaker 1: start building a bigger one.
Speaker 2: Than that. I heard Larry Elson say, and I just
Speaker 2: heard this this morning. He said, with AI and the
Speaker 2: current technology, the COVID pandemic couldn't happen. I thought, right,
Speaker 2: I need that explain to me. How's how does that
Speaker 2: get stopped by AI?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm guessing obviously I'm neither an epidemiologist nor
Speaker 1: a computer you are.
Speaker 2: I thought you were all these years. I thought you're
Speaker 2: an epidemiologist. You know, I dabble in viruses. So it's
Speaker 2: a hobby. Come to that. It's more love than you know, profession.
Speaker 2: But uh.
Speaker 1: The idea is that all the reports of these illnesses
Speaker 1: would be fed into databases just as a matter of course,
Speaker 1: and it would identify patterns immediately and say, whoa, we
Speaker 1: have a pandemic. It's this contagious and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: It would probably also analyze, you know, the the sewer
Speaker 1: systems where you find viruses, and just all the all
Speaker 1: the dots that we connected so brutally slowly, partly you know,
Speaker 1: coowtowing to the damn Chinese be connected instantaneously.
Speaker 2: Now I can believe that AI can come up with
Speaker 2: a vaccine like lickety split compared to a human being,
Speaker 2: probably soon. Yeah, I'll bet. Well that's something. I mean,
Speaker 2: if that's true. If because it was just twenty th
Speaker 2: was just a couple of years ago, and we're on
Speaker 2: the cusp of technology that that couldn't happen, that's that's unbelievable. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm always a little wary about who's selling what
Speaker 1: to build ensusiasm. It's probably gonna take a little while,
Speaker 1: but it's we're definitely on that road cancer treatments one
Speaker 1: hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, Well I can't. You know. The problem is
Speaker 2: that AI is a is a giant, overarching thing that
Speaker 2: encompasses many, many, many every part of life. That's that's
Speaker 2: why it's going to be bigger or than the Internet
Speaker 2: or fire. According to the Google guy who was at
Speaker 2: the inauguration, it's gonna be bigger to mankind than fire.
Speaker 2: So it ain't gonna just be medicine stuff. So that'd
Speaker 2: be great. It's gonna be I mean fantastic that AI
Speaker 2: can catch COVID quickly and tell you got colon cancer
Speaker 2: before the doctor figures it out. He ain't got no job,
Speaker 2: and you're having sex with a robot, so I don't know. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know any port in a storm. Here's what's
Speaker 2: going to happen with AI. I've seen it. I've had asion,
Speaker 2: a vision quest or something. So on the day it's
Speaker 2: Sam Altman and all his text genius buddies, Larry Els
Speaker 2: and the bankers, they're all going to ask. All right, folks,
Speaker 2: we've got it perfected. Here the one hundred spectacular, mind
Speaker 2: blowing wonderful things AI can do. Let's start with number one,
Speaker 2: and at that moment, like four guys with a grudge,
Speaker 2: we'll launch computer viruses around the world that wipe it
Speaker 2: all out. Wha, they'll have the use of AI as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's North Korea, maybe it's Russians, maybe it's just
Speaker 1: a Donald Trump's four hundred pound guy on his bed
Speaker 1: in his parents' basement.
Speaker 2: Who knows, right, And we are watching Henry's going through
Speaker 2: all the Star Wars movies in order in order of
Speaker 2: the story, not in order of them being made. Well,
Speaker 2: we're watching some of those droid robots and man, they
Speaker 2: look very similar to what Boston Dynamics is building. And
Speaker 2: we all know with AI they're gonna be able to
Speaker 2: I mean, that's going to be for real, Like next summer.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those things out on the battlefield. So that
Speaker 2: goes along with your cancer solving AI.
Speaker 1: Picture every phase of warfare land, air, and sea, in space.
Speaker 1: Now get rid of all the humans and repicture it
Speaker 1: with robots.
Speaker 2: For better or worse. Right, So if no humans are dying,
Speaker 2: it's just a race to whoever runs out of money,
Speaker 2: who can wreck each other's stuff the fastest, exactly, Well,
Speaker 2: that gives us an advantage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, China's pretty good at manufacturing, from AI to DEI.
Speaker 2: How about the fact that by clothes of business today,
Speaker 2: the federal government has to have all your DEI employees
Speaker 2: on a paid leave.
Speaker 1: I know, it's spectacular. I am overjoyed. I'm over the moon.
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic, and I'm also acutely aware a couple of
Speaker 1: recent decisions executive orders, pardons, whatever.
Speaker 2: Trump's ability to do fabulous things is going to be
Speaker 2: limited only by his inability not to do dumb things.
Speaker 2: And we'll just ride it as long as we can. Well,
Speaker 2: and he often covers up the good things with something else.
Speaker 2: You know, it gets all the news coveragement. Yeah, the DEI.
Speaker 2: By close of business today, all DEI employees in the
Speaker 2: federal government have to be unpaid. Leave the other parts
Speaker 2: of the announcement. We can read it, you know, their verbiage,
Speaker 2: but no language in any of the websites or the
Speaker 2: paperwork or anything like that. None of that di I stuff,
Speaker 2: and no like slippery you're sneaking in an inn Dei
Speaker 2: language either allowed.
Speaker 1: No humiliating struggle sessions where you have to confess your
Speaker 1: white complicity and systemic racism at the CIA. For God's sake, anymore,
Speaker 1: that's all gone, And hallelujah for people who couldn't understand
Speaker 1: how anyone could vote for Trump. For a lot of people,
Speaker 1: it was that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: Four to who knows, eight or sixteen more years of
Speaker 2: going down the Dei road to where it's just so
Speaker 2: entrenched in every part of our government there's no digging
Speaker 2: it out. Or it's over today three days.
Speaker 1: RULs and universities too even more insidious, perhaps, yeah, Or it's.
Speaker 2: Over today three days into the Trump administration. That's a
Speaker 2: big deal, right, although there's still a battle to be fought.
Speaker 2: I've been reading about the various companies that have either
Speaker 2: abandoned their DEI people and programs or are clinging to them,
Speaker 2: like Costco. Notably and even you know, there are a
Speaker 2: number of reporters who want to know better. They have
Speaker 2: not gotten the word. They still think and the companies
Speaker 2: still think di means we probably ought to have some
Speaker 2: black people who work here. Well, yeah, you probably ought
Speaker 2: to have some black people who work there, if they're
Speaker 2: qualified for the jobs. That's fine.
Speaker 1: DEI, diversity doesn't mean diversity. It means takeover. It's a
Speaker 1: neo Marxist technique for calling you a racist till you
Speaker 1: give up the reins of control. It mascarades as giving
Speaker 1: people the racial equality or their rights.
Speaker 2: It's a masquerade. DEI, wake up. You want diversity, fine,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. DEI ate it. And I just
Speaker 2: heard a thing where the governor of Illinois, Pritzker, he's
Speaker 2: a monster, yes, is gearing up to fight the Trump
Speaker 2: people when the deportations begin. Chicago is rumored to be
Speaker 2: top of the list of getting illegals out, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna double down and making sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Boy, there is gonna be a flight out of Illinois.
Speaker 1: It's gonna make California look like Florida.
Speaker 2: There are lots of lawsuits, lots and lots and lots
Speaker 2: of lawsuits.
Speaker 1: Between the half wit communist who's the mayor of Chicago
Speaker 1: which dominates Illinois politics, and the insane fat brands gender
Speaker 1: promoting just Oh my cay's up monster, JD. Pritzker, My
Speaker 1: heart bleeds for my home state. Why'd you have to
Speaker 1: body shame him in all that.
Speaker 2: Land of Lincoln.
Speaker 1: I wish Lincoln could rise from the grave and put
Speaker 1: a prairie whooppan on JB.
Speaker 2: Prisker. Come here, fat boy and say how again? Save you?
Speaker 3: What for?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna twist you or not she'd do this to
Speaker 2: my stay here? Oh let me go, Prisker and me
Speaker 2: crying another f bomb for no reason?
Speaker 1: The rail splitter, that's what we need, more of that spirit.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Speaker 2: Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday, January twenty second,
Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting
Speaker 2: we approve of this program.
Speaker 1: Anybody who'd like to use AI to animate a Lincoln
Speaker 1: whooping up on JB. Pritzker, I will pay a handsome
Speaker 1: price for that video. All right, let's begin officially according
Speaker 1: to the FCC rules and regulations, here we go leaping
Speaker 1: into action at Mark.
Speaker 2: I also say this.
Speaker 4: You go to Portland where they did where they wrapped
Speaker 4: Belisa office is shot, police offices, nothing happened to anybody.
Speaker 4: You go to Seattle where they took over a big
Speaker 4: chunk of the city and people died. Portland, a lot
Speaker 4: of people died where a minute, and you go. Also
Speaker 4: take a look at Minneapolis, because I was there and
Speaker 4: I watched it. If I didn't bring in the National Guard,
Speaker 4: that city wouldn't even exist today. People were killed and
Speaker 4: nobody went to jail. So these people have already served
Speaker 4: a long period of time, and I made a decision
Speaker 4: to give a pardon.
Speaker 1: I absolutely what we've been calling for years for the
Speaker 1: combination of political violence on all sides.
Speaker 2: Will this get us closer to that? Maybe? Or are
Speaker 2: we now all political violence goes? Maybe we're going that
Speaker 2: direction exactly. And what aboutism rules the day? Man? Dang it,
Speaker 2: dang it, dang it. D He's right though, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's not an excuse for letting some of these people off.
Speaker 2: But it what he said is true. A whole bunch
Speaker 2: of people who did very similar things they didn't get
Speaker 2: prosecuted because their politics were different. And some of them
Speaker 2: did it night after night after night openly, but their
Speaker 2: names proudly displayed, although they often covered their faces. Cowards.
Speaker 2: How does the bag of male look? What's good? Strong?
Speaker 2: Maybe you can start having AI weed through the mail
Speaker 2: and pick out the good stuff if you willing to
Speaker 2: give it a try while you're having sex with your
Speaker 2: AI robot. Hey, good question on that? Would that be
Speaker 2: infidelity if you got an AI robot? Just be so weird?
Speaker 2: Wive's okay with that? Fine, let the robot do it.
Speaker 2: Katie says, no, hard, No, you're not okay with your
Speaker 2: husband having sex with an AI robot. It's not a human,
Speaker 2: it's not a person.
Speaker 1: That is bizarre on all exactly. It's not a sexual problem.
Speaker 1: It's like if your husband danced.
Speaker 2: With the cat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hours at a time. That's it's not sexual. It's
Speaker 1: that he's nuts.
Speaker 2: We need to have a further discussion about this. This
Speaker 2: is an interesting vein, so maybe later here's something to
Speaker 2: look forward to. Here's our text line four one five
Speaker 2: two nine five k ftc.
Speaker 5: Armstrong, what's up?
Speaker 2: How you doing? How you doing? I want to have
Speaker 2: that conversation later. The more I think about it, the
Speaker 2: more interesting. It is as uh, they're going to have
Speaker 2: to figure out fidelity, infidelity, marriage, all kinds of different
Speaker 2: things around AI robots. We got it. We got to
Speaker 2: have new standards for something that never existed before, specifically
Speaker 2: sexpots or companion bots.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, wow, sorry, honey, I'd love to take
Speaker 1: you out to dinner tonight, but I really I need
Speaker 1: a heart to heart with my robot girl.
Speaker 2: Well, you find your you find your husband talking to
Speaker 2: the robot person more than you. She understands me better.
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom. Lovely quote of the day from Victor Frankel.
Speaker 1: Between stimulus and response, there is a space, and that
Speaker 1: space is our power to choose our response. In our
Speaker 1: response lies our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2: I think we all know a lot.
Speaker 1: Of people though that there is no space between stimulus
Speaker 1: and response.
Speaker 2: Well, I think for practically everybody, there's different situations. Right,
Speaker 2: there's situations, or there's spurs, there's definitely space for response,
Speaker 2: and then there's situations where there's very little space.
Speaker 1: When a tiger is rushing at you with its fangs bear,
Speaker 1: there's very little time to choose our response and explore
Speaker 1: our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2: I agree completely. That's an extreme example. But like if
Speaker 2: a certain a hole you work with, you've already got
Speaker 2: a you know, a headful esteem for before you even
Speaker 2: see them when you walk around the corner, you might
Speaker 2: not have as much space for contemplation should they say
Speaker 2: a certain thing. I mean, it's absolutely.
Speaker 1: True, and to whatever extent you can move away from
Speaker 1: what you're describing, you'll have a better life, no doubt,
Speaker 1: which was Frankel's point, and no doubt, mail bag, I
Speaker 1: wonder how you control that or increase the space, give
Speaker 1: yourself more time. You can drop us a note mail
Speaker 1: bag at Armstrong and get it dot com.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: This is Dennis frequent correspondent Dennis.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: I'm watching the news and it's apparent a growing backlash
Speaker 1: or AGB as I abbreviate.
Speaker 2: It is the new.
Speaker 1: Media talking point involving everything Trump does from his executive
Speaker 1: order on the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 2: Of the JA six pardons.
Speaker 1: Every story starts with a growing backlash as right, It's
Speaker 1: as bad as every story on COVID or other emergencies.
Speaker 1: Also explained, the official response was due to an abundance
Speaker 1: of caution or AOC.
Speaker 2: It's the lazy writers. I blamed. Heg Zeth got out
Speaker 2: of committee. He's going to face the full vote. And
Speaker 2: then there was an October surprise, if you will, that
Speaker 2: came out yesterday with his former sister in law. We
Speaker 2: can talk about that coming up.
Speaker 1: A growing backlash right against Pete Heggzeth. Right, John writes
Speaker 1: re Elon's Nazi salute and votes. I'm so tired of
Speaker 1: this nonsense. AOC is a moron. We pay attention to
Speaker 1: her because she's hot. I'll pay attention to Katie Green.
Speaker 1: She's hot, not a moron. My side wins, go away, losers,
Speaker 1: Thank you, John.
Speaker 2: The Nazi salute good lord? Oh, I know, I know,
Speaker 2: so stupid. Let's see Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1: On the topic of birthright citizenship of Poolo rights from
Speaker 1: the San Jose Mercury News, California, San Francisco in twenty
Speaker 1: one other state sue Trump's birthright citizenship order.
Speaker 2: San Francisco.
Speaker 1: How about they tend to their business instead of more virtue,
Speaker 1: saying like this is right up there with renaming the
Speaker 1: schools when they should have been reopening them during COVID.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely true. I want to get into this again later. Also,
Speaker 2: what's the argument for birthright citizenship. Just Trump's against it,
Speaker 2: so here for it. I mean, explain to me your argument.
Speaker 1: Well, Polo goes on to address that argument, why is
Speaker 1: there such opposition to get hering rid of it? The
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment intended to ensure that former slaves were granted citizenship, period. Good,
Speaker 1: But it was never intended to give citizenship to the
Speaker 1: children of people entered the country illegally. That was an accident,
Speaker 1: So let's reconsider it and talk about it as a policy.
Speaker 2: I just haven't heard the argument for why it must
Speaker 2: stay in the constitution.
Speaker 1: On the topic of the Jay six pardons, we got
Speaker 1: this one, dear loyal bootlickers of the realm, congratulations for
Speaker 1: being named the grand wizards of the newly created Department
Speaker 1: of Mixing the kool Aid. More trusted servants of King
Speaker 1: Donald could not be asked for God or elon Musk
Speaker 1: save the King. May the age of Ignorance reign. And
Speaker 1: we got this on the other side of it because
Speaker 1: we're not trumpy enough. Dear ang, you guys missed the
Speaker 1: main point on the big story so often. I now
Speaker 1: assume you're paid or controlled or just playing stupid, possibly both.
Speaker 1: Three questions one answer. You cowards don't mention who was
Speaker 1: EPP's scaffold commander who didn't get arrested Feds and many others.
Speaker 2: When it's a FED set up, everyone goes free.
Speaker 1: You stupid cucks are defending the FEDS involved in the
Speaker 1: jays X setup. Convictioners are wrong, full, very very low
Speaker 1: IQ of you from Brian. Well, I'm not getting a check,
Speaker 1: so I can only assume I'm stupid. I think you
Speaker 1: We've eliminated the other possibilities, so stupid it is.
Speaker 2: Here's some breaking news. Mister beast is going to try
Speaker 2: and buy TikTok. That's interesting. Among other things we got
Speaker 2: to talk about coming up Armstrong and getdy Okay, a
Speaker 2: couple of things we got to get to. Uh, because
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of news. I just saw this breaking news.
Speaker 2: Trump's decision to pardon everyone around January sixth, the not
Speaker 2: just the nonviolent people, was a decision made last minute
Speaker 2: before the inauguration, That's what I guess. According to sources.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it almost had to be because of the way
Speaker 1: he had jd Vance and Pam Bondi out saying the
Speaker 1: opposite only days prior.
Speaker 2: Right, which is a bad position to put them in. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They they have got to be thinking, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this is good. At what it's going to be like,
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a ride. Here we go.
Speaker 2: I want to get to the Pete Hegseth semi mini
Speaker 2: scandal that they're trying to dig up before the vote
Speaker 2: comes down on the Secretary defense. What else do we
Speaker 2: want to get to? Oh, some new stats came out
Speaker 2: on how little sex young people are happening getting back
Speaker 2: to AI sex robots. It's it's extraordinary. If any other
Speaker 2: beast had this graph curve on their reproduction, we'd be
Speaker 2: worried about the you know, the the African elephant or
Speaker 2: the honeybee or whatever that stopped mating. The world of
Speaker 2: science would be going wild over it. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Then to kick off hour two, a rundown of the
Speaker 1: executive orders so far and their significance, plus big new
Speaker 1: pull out from the Wall Street Journal on what Americans
Speaker 1: want and expect from Donald Jay's administration.
Speaker 2: It's pretty interesting. I want to hear this how this
Speaker 2: is how CBS, I guess handled the Hegzef October surprise
Speaker 2: around him becoming the second herry defense is dropped yesterday.
Speaker 5: Pete Hegseth's former sister in law, Danielle Hegseth, the llegis
Speaker 5: of the Defense Secretary Nominee was abusive toward his second wife, Samantha.
Speaker 5: Danielle Hegseth claimed Samantha told her she once hid in
Speaker 5: a closet for fear of her safety. Danielle Hegseth, who
Speaker 5: was married to Hegseth's brother, also alleged Samantha had a
Speaker 5: plan to get away from Hegseth by texting a safe
Speaker 5: word to her if she needed help. During his confirmation hearing,
Speaker 5: Hegseth denied any allegations of violence toward his former wives.
Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the substance, I've got
Speaker 1: to mention. All right, now, I see the name I'm
Speaker 1: gonna memorize this, Nicole Killian. She has the weirdest, most
Speaker 1: unnatural manner of speaking of anyone in media.
Speaker 2: Nobody talks like that, Nicole. Why are you talking like that?
Speaker 2: Are you a robot? She? Or robot? Okay, Joe with
Speaker 2: the style that we'll get to the substance here. The
Speaker 2: important part that they left out, as did The New
Speaker 2: York Times, as did Politico, as did practically all mainstream media. Uh,
Speaker 2: the fact that Hegxet's ex wife, this is the sister
Speaker 2: they were quoting of the wife. Hess's wife is on
Speaker 2: record denying these smears, says none of this happened, and
Speaker 2: is willing to do any interviews about it. My understanding
Speaker 2: is this is the ex wife of Hegsas' brother. Uh.
Speaker 2: Which which person?
Speaker 1: The former wife of Hegsas's brother who knew them years ago?
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, so it's not even as close as I thought.
Speaker 2: The the the allegations and exits actual ex wife, who's
Speaker 2: willing to talk to anybody. CBS News with the weird voice,
Speaker 2: you could go interviewer if you want watchy thing? Did
Speaker 2: you have to hide in a closet? New York Times
Speaker 2: could ask that too. Peter Baker went with big with
Speaker 2: the ex sister in law. Okay, that's a little fudgy
Speaker 2: then if it's what you just described to say sister
Speaker 2: in law, because it leads me to believe what I believed.
Speaker 2: Ex sister in law submits a sworn statement that heg
Speaker 2: Zeth was abusive toward her. Okay, Well, the wife herself
Speaker 2: has responded and said, I do not believe you're info
Speaker 2: to be accurate. I've ce Seed my lawyer, there is
Speaker 2: no physical abuse in my marriage, and she has stated
Speaker 2: she's willing to do interviews about it. So even if
Speaker 2: you would think, well, she's I don't know, there's a
Speaker 2: name for this, a syndrome, some sort of abused woman
Speaker 2: who's unwilling to speak up because she's still scattered whatever,
Speaker 2: you still got to include that in the story. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a pretty interesting nugget that the person in question says, No,
Speaker 2: he didn't. The resistance is getting us act back together.
Speaker 2: How you are gonna bring down Trump this time? Come
Speaker 2: on CBS and New York Times and everyone else. You
Speaker 2: can't leave that out. I mean, that's grengoues. I just
Speaker 2: all I want is you don't have to like go
Speaker 2: into Trump world. You don't have to be pro Trump.
Speaker 2: Just give people all of the information and let them
Speaker 2: decide for themselves. For crying out loud, God, that's so weak.
Speaker 2: Let's label this part of the podcast.
Speaker 1: Jack still expects ethics from the bigfoot media.
Speaker 2: I do. I don't understand how more people don't quit
Speaker 2: at New York Times, CBS, every well, some people have
Speaker 2: like Barry Weiss or whatever, they go on to great careers.
Speaker 2: But I understand how more people quit. Don't quit, like
Speaker 2: raise their hand in the big news meeting and saym
Speaker 2: are we going to include the part where his ex
Speaker 2: wife says, no, he didn't.
Speaker 1: Because they've graduated from journalism schools in the last fifteen
Speaker 1: years having been taught that advocacy is why they have
Speaker 1: the job.
Speaker 2: You would have to believe that. To go along with that,
Speaker 2: you have to believe that your role in journalism is
Speaker 2: advocacy to pick a side and promote it. That's the
Speaker 2: only way you can excuse this. If you go with that,
Speaker 2: well then it's pretty easy to excuse No. No, no.
Speaker 2: My goal is to make an argument for why Trump
Speaker 2: anything Trump wants as bad and shoot it down. You
Speaker 2: need to make an argument with your facts and leave
Speaker 2: out our facts, and that's the way we'll do this, right,
Speaker 2: Maybe that is the way we're going to do it
Speaker 2: from here on. It. That's really frustrated. Yes, absolutely, what's happening.
Speaker 2: So Hexeth did get out of a committee because there
Speaker 2: is some speculation that he might not even do that
Speaker 2: thirteen to twelve vote, and then at some point they're
Speaker 2: going to schedule that on the House floor I don't
Speaker 2: think it's going to be like Marco Rubio and ninety
Speaker 2: nine nothing, with people giving him a standing ovation as
Speaker 2: soon as he's a given the title. But we'll see.
Speaker 2: I suspect he gets through.
Speaker 1: It'll be a very close vote partisan, but we will
Speaker 1: if we the Senate. I'm expecting to be a senator soon.
Speaker 1: The Senate will defer to the President's wishes and say,
Speaker 1: all right, he's your guy, give him a try.
Speaker 2: I would love to be a US senator. I don't
Speaker 2: think I would actually enjoy being a House member, but
Speaker 2: I would love to be a US senator. I think
Speaker 2: that'd be cool.
Speaker 1: I'd take the gig if it was offered out there.
Speaker 1: Sounds good. The House, no, no, no, no, the Senate,
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah. House would be a tough call.
Speaker 1: They'd say, all right, now, you got to fundraise twenty
Speaker 1: hours a day, and I'd be like, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we're not going to give you a plumb committee.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, I'll just go right to the people
Speaker 1: like AOC she's my hero.
Speaker 2: I'll go on Fox News and say crazy s and
Speaker 2: raise money that way. Yeah, I'll be a media star. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not going into your basement phone bank calling.
Speaker 2: Old rich people ask them for money.
Speaker 1: Congress Bengetti, Now I'd like to show you to the
Speaker 1: fundraising center.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going. They'd say, well, work if you want,
Speaker 2: we're gonna primary you, and we're giving you no money.
Speaker 2: From the Republican National Committee to Ryn, she'd be a
Speaker 2: one term House member. I get the pension. Oh that
Speaker 2: w was there? You go. Yeah, that's the other part
Speaker 2: of this DEI story. That's so disappointing. But it's just
Speaker 2: the way the freaking government works the whole. By five
Speaker 2: point thirty today, all DEI employees and the federal government
Speaker 2: must be unpaid leave. Oh okay, so they still get paid.
Speaker 2: That's that's the first step. I hope. I hope. I
Speaker 2: hope that ends. At some point. I want to hit
Speaker 2: you with this real quick. Maybe we could go into
Speaker 2: details later. Wall Street journals out with their best and
Speaker 2: worst airlines of twenty twenty four. I see this list
Speaker 2: every year and I kind of pay attention to it
Speaker 2: and think I got to remember that, and then I realize, Okay,
Speaker 2: I usually choose the airline that's going where I want
Speaker 2: to go. At the time that's most appropriate for me.
Speaker 2: That's pretty much how I choose my airlines, not based
Speaker 2: on this. I don't I my flying. I don't fly
Speaker 2: very much, but I don't usually end up in a
Speaker 2: situation where I've got multiple options of going where I
Speaker 2: want to go at the time I want to go
Speaker 2: there anyway. The number one airline in America again and
Speaker 2: it has been quite a few years out of the
Speaker 2: last ten, is Delta, which I don't know if I've
Speaker 2: ever flown Delta in my life. Delta took the crown
Speaker 2: again the Wall Street Journal's seventeenth airline scorecards, standing out
Speaker 2: in nearly every category. This is Delta's fourth consecutive win
Speaker 2: in seventh and eight years. So if you care about
Speaker 2: if you have the option of choosing different airlines, I
Speaker 2: guess you go with Delta. Yeah. I fly Delta all
Speaker 2: the time and they're great.
Speaker 1: You have three groups of people as airline travelers, those
Speaker 1: who are you know, quality of experienced sensitive, primarily schedule
Speaker 1: sensitive as you are because you're so busy and price sensitive,
Speaker 1: who will be flexible on quality of experience and schedule
Speaker 1: as long as they get the low ticket.
Speaker 2: And so everybody's looking for something a little different. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't need to. I would, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2: I will pay a little more for better experience, But yeah,
Speaker 2: my schedule is usually I got to be there to
Speaker 2: grandma on Grandpa's house with the kids, and then we
Speaker 2: got to be back for school, and I just can't
Speaker 2: fly whenever. I don't know if I've ever been in
Speaker 2: a delta plane anyway, if you want to know how
Speaker 2: else this goes in the ratings, Cellar Frontier Spirit placed
Speaker 2: eighth an American Airlines finished seventh Frontier no windows, pilot's
Speaker 2: wearing one of those leather helmets with goggles.
Speaker 1: Right, tumbleweeds blowing through the plane out of a Frontier
Speaker 1: of aviation.
Speaker 2: Right. Their metrics were on time arrivals, flight cancelations, delays
Speaker 2: of forty five minutes or more, baggage handling, tarmac delays,
Speaker 2: involuntary bumping. What is that? What's up the plane? Or
Speaker 2: you as a passenger? No, you as a passenger, You
Speaker 2: get bumped out of your seat. Sorry, we're over a book.
Speaker 2: Get out? Oh I thought like somebody bumping into me.

Speaker 2: with their bag hits you. In the head.
Speaker 1: I got bumped three times on that damn flight. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean getting heaved off here. Hey, speaking of the frontier,
Speaker 1: have you watched that Mormons and Gunfights show that Craig
Speaker 1: the Healthcare Guru is recommended on Netflix?
Speaker 2: I have watched no TV shows for fifteen years, roughly,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I have heard about it. It sounds it sounds cool. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's a little grim? Sorry, I had to walk up
Speaker 2: Joe's decided to walk out of the rent. Oh tell
Speaker 2: it is boring. I gotta listen to this.
Speaker 1: Uh no, I had to get something off the printer
Speaker 1: over there in the corner of the studio.
Speaker 2: Uh dirt. No, it just it looks like brutal and
Speaker 2: dramatic and pain and suffering and hate and gunfire. Is
Speaker 2: it supposed to be rarely in the mood for that
Speaker 2: is supposed to be historically accurate? I have no idea
Speaker 2: you're rarely in the mood for Mormon gunfights. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wake up in the in fid organstead. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I just in my entertainment, I'd rather have something light
Speaker 1: and like life affirming, or funny or musically impressive or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: Hate and death and struggle. I just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I spend all day on that. Enough enough of the hate,

Speaker 1: playoffs this weekend.
Speaker 2: Here's one question, Will Patrick Mahomes throw for more than
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty three yards? No, is my guess,

Speaker 3: So maybe it's an anniversary thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, And it's.
Speaker 1: The whole dying young thing you get devaulted to new
Speaker 1: heights and are celebrated. I think it's a coping mechanism
Speaker 1: we human beings have. Somebody gets robbed of like the
Speaker 1: last half of their life, who we lionize them and
Speaker 1: talk glowingly about them to protect ourselves from the fear
Speaker 1: that it will happen to us.

Speaker 2: a Sunday talk show the weekend before, saying, oh no, no,
Speaker 2: the violent people. No, they committed a crime and they
Speaker 2: deserve to be punished. Way to hang him out to

Speaker 3: Cryptocurrency launches in week of salute controversy.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's something I just heard yesterday from another podcast,
Speaker 2: so I'm stealing it from Eli Lake, who's fantastic. The
Speaker 2: same people that are saying this is a Nazi salute
Speaker 2: are the same people that wouldn't call any of the
Speaker 2: college kids Nazis, who were, for instance, barring Jewish students
Speaker 2: from going to class. So that's you're not a Nazi.
Speaker 2: If you won't let a Jewish kid get to his class,
Speaker 2: you are a Nazi. If you wave to the crowd
Speaker 2: in a certain way, that's incite.
Speaker 1: And that's how seriously these people should be taken back.
Speaker 2: From The New York Post speaking of college kids.
Speaker 3: Jack, anti Israel protesters disrupt Columbia University class, sparking confrontation
Speaker 3: between students.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hunting Jews, not a Nazi waving to the crowd.
Speaker 2: Nazi.
Speaker 1: Got it is utterly diseased.
Speaker 2: Yes, with the caveat that that was one weird wave.
Speaker 2: He's just he's a he's an odd gentleman for variety reasons.
Speaker 2: But that was a weird wave. Was it was more
Speaker 2: I this arm I remember wave like that, But it
Speaker 2: wasn't to nights. You do, I'll bet you do. Nobody's
Speaker 2: ever called on it because it's nothing.
Speaker 1: There's nothing to call Nazi straightened at your arm at
Speaker 1: the moment you straighten your arm, Hey, I'm over here.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sighile whatever. Every time you let the lift driver,
Speaker 2: it's me you're looking for. You're doing a.
Speaker 1: Nassy again with the nazism. Nazi please and the lift drivers.
Speaker 1: First of color, you Nazi?
Speaker 2: From Forbes. Netflix raises prices.
Speaker 3: And the Internet is furious, so they're gonna start putting
Speaker 3: advertisements in there.
Speaker 2: Yes, with advertisements.
Speaker 3: Eighteen dollars a month without advertisements, twenty five dollars a
Speaker 3: month for Netflix.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna be cutting some stuff in our household.
Speaker 2: It's just gotten completely outraged. Yeah. And then you gotta
Speaker 2: keep tracking which ones you're still watching. Like, uh, my
Speaker 2: son had his sleep over the other night and he
Speaker 2: wanted to know where's Disney? Can you log me in?
Speaker 2: And blah blah la hulu. I said, do you need
Speaker 2: the Netflix pastor? And he said, now, we never watched Netflix.
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, you're not watching it. I'm not watching it.
Speaker 2: Why are we still paying for it? From CBS Cat mistakenly.
Speaker 3: Left on a plane takes three trips covering over forty.
Speaker 2: Five hundred miles. How can this happen?
Speaker 3: And the only reason I picked this headline is because
Speaker 3: the cat's name is Mittens.
Speaker 2: Ah. I hope Mittens was on Delta where it was
Speaker 2: a much more pleasant experience, the number one airline in America,
Speaker 2: and I hope we had a window seat.
Speaker 3: And finally, the Babylon Bee neew some warns looters to
Speaker 3: stay away from the fire zone.
Speaker 2: And just rob your local stores as usual.
Speaker 1: That's just about perfect. What if our listeners sent us
Speaker 1: a story from twenty twenty where Gaviy vetoed a very
Speaker 1: very sensible law about fire preparedness because he said this
Speaker 1: might encourage sprawl and it's important that we get people
Speaker 1: to move into cities near public transportation. He's been anti
Speaker 1: fired heard in this the whole time he's been in power,
Speaker 1: and that whole trying to force us to take mass transit.
Speaker 1: When will the Progressives ever give up on that? It
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen. No, no, but one percent of America
Speaker 1: could get ahead in the world while taking mass transit.
Speaker 2: The rest of us two time consumers. We got a
Speaker 2: lot more on the way Armstrong and Getty
