Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Petty and he arms Ronget. I have a moral dilemma
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. We'll have to discuss momentary early
Speaker 1: in the day, for it really is live from Studio
Speaker 1: C see san a dimly lit room deeper than the
Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey
Speaker 1: y'all today on Tuesday, we're under the tutelage of our
Speaker 1: general manager. So many choices today. You have no idea
Speaker 1: the pressures face and choosing the general manager on a
Speaker 1: day like today where the smug Ignoramus Jimmy Kimmel comes
Speaker 1: back to TV. You've got the whole tail and all
Speaker 1: autism press conference yesterday, which was something else. You got
Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff going on. But we've got to
Speaker 1: go with this our general manager. The United Nations the
Speaker 1: greatest ratio of expense to productivity in the history of mankind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no kidding, As George Bush once called them, a meaningless
Speaker 1: debating society, which is pretty close to true, meaningless and
Speaker 1: incredibly expensive debating society. Yes, and what did you call Kimmel?
Speaker 1: That was appropriate? Smug Ignoramus, He's smug anyway. If you're
Speaker 1: like a Douglas Murray type, Doug is a little smug.
Speaker 1: I've been accused of smugging this myself, But Douglas Murray's brilliant,
Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant. If you're Neil Ferguson, you're a little smug. Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. If you're Jimmy Kimmel,
Speaker 1: your dumb as a dog. You don't know anything about anything.
Speaker 1: You just got a few talking points you saw on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky. And yet he comes off like the master
Speaker 1: of all, you know, the subtlety of thought. Hey, before
Speaker 1: I get to my dilemma, I'll never understand why the
Speaker 1: late night talk shows get so much conversation at all.
Speaker 1: I was gonna trust it off yesterdayar it really is.
Speaker 1: It's a hangover from when those shows matter. I was
Speaker 1: gonna try to see if Chat and GPT could come
Speaker 1: up with me for a list of other shows that
Speaker 1: have an audience of a million. I'll bet there are
Speaker 1: fifty shows with an audience the same size that you've
Speaker 1: never even heard the name, let alone watched. That would
Speaker 1: be amusing yeah, I'll bet you're right, because it's like
Speaker 1: a million people that watch each of those shows, so
Speaker 1: whipping cares. I got bad news for you, America. Johnny
Speaker 1: Carson is passed and will not return. Letterman still kicking,
Speaker 1: but will not right. I don't know. If it's a
Speaker 1: moral dilemma, if it's a courage dilemma, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But anyway, So, there was a street person standing at
Speaker 1: the front door of the building when I was walking in.
Speaker 1: If that always gets your day off to him still
Speaker 1: there a good adrenaline soaked start. Well, he was right
Speaker 1: at there at the front door, and I thought, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open the door and he's gonna follow me in?
Speaker 1: Is it my job to push him back out? Do
Speaker 1: I let him walk in the building where he then
Speaker 1: has free run of the entire building? Almost certainly a
Speaker 1: crazed drug addict. I mean, what am I supposed to
Speaker 1: do here? Luckily he turned away when I went in
Speaker 1: the door because I don't know, his dog was talking
Speaker 1: to him or whatever, and he got distracted. But would
Speaker 1: what would you do? Would you let him follow you in?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not well, you're shaping your head, Michael.
Speaker 1: What would you do. I agree we shouldn't let him
Speaker 1: come in, But what would you do? Are you gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir, you can't come in Like you're in
Speaker 1: charge of security? Do you have an appointment? I once
Speaker 1: asked a guy who was making it clear that he
Speaker 1: was going to follow me in because I had a
Speaker 1: key fob and he didn't, you know, prior to the
Speaker 1: crackadaw on, And I said, do you have a reason
Speaker 1: to be in the building or something like that, and
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I'm with the crew remodeling up on
Speaker 1: the fourth floor. Okay, but he probably didn't look like
Speaker 1: a crazed street person. Good point. Yeah, he was definitely scruffy,
Speaker 1: but kind of you know, working man scruffy, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: construction guy. I would I would I have said that
Speaker 1: to people. Well, And he had the look of you
Speaker 1: could have a conversation with right. This guy had the
Speaker 1: look of there's no conversation to be had, right. Uh, Katie,
Speaker 1: you duck in and you hold the door closed until
Speaker 1: it clicked. I shoulder, That magnetic thing kicks back in shoulder.
Speaker 1: I pulled the door closed. Hang on a stiff farm.
Speaker 2: I've been in this exact situation, and I walked around
Speaker 2: the building to the other door just to avoid it.
Speaker 1: You know, that's not a bad idea, right there, that's
Speaker 1: not a bad I read there. I sniff arm him
Speaker 1: right in the beer, right right, snap his head back.
Speaker 1: I did the thing I often do when I approach
Speaker 1: a street person. I taped. Okay, I do have my
Speaker 1: knife with me if I end up in a fight
Speaker 1: for my life, because that's just part of the world
Speaker 1: we've created where you have to semi regularly wonder. I
Speaker 1: wonder if I'm about to be in a fight for
Speaker 1: my life because you get to just hang around as
Speaker 1: a crazy person. Bums and junkies everywhere in America. You
Speaker 1: can have this too. Vote Kevin Newsom at twenty eight
Speaker 1: No kidding, all right, So Hanson, what would you do?
Speaker 1: You let him follow you in or do you become
Speaker 1: you know, I'm the cop, Hanson's cop all the way
Speaker 1: you've been spending all that time in a gym. Come
Speaker 1: on now, just don't feel like report of my job
Speaker 1: description to fight my way in the door and keep
Speaker 1: pop and keep junkies out right, Hanson suggested a lake
Speaker 1: kick to the back of the thigh. Oh yeah, sweeping
Speaker 1: leg kick one of these. Yeah exactly. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good maneuver. See I had to let him in
Speaker 1: and put in a put him in a competing radio station,
Speaker 1: so just there you go. Put him in the other studio.
Speaker 1: I told him, here, press that button that turns the
Speaker 1: mic on. Hef the breeze is down the hall, Go
Speaker 1: in there and say whatever you want to those people. Ye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably wouldn't have let him follow
Speaker 1: me in, just out of my own safety. But right,
Speaker 1: so that's enough of that. Trump is speaking at the
Speaker 1: UN today. Who knows what he will say and if
Speaker 1: it makes any difference whatsoever. I don't think it's good
Speaker 1: news that all these countries have joined in with there
Speaker 1: needs to be a Palestinian state. It certainly gives Israel
Speaker 1: less cover in coming days, months, and years anytime they're
Speaker 1: trying to do anything if the whole world says, hey,
Speaker 1: there's supposed to be a country there, right. I read
Speaker 1: some great analysis. I wish I'd come up with this myself,
Speaker 1: but it it made it clear that all of these
Speaker 1: recognitions of the Palestinian state, whatever the hell that means,
Speaker 1: is purely a gesture of disapproval toward Israel. It is
Speaker 1: purely a punishment of Israel because the Macrones of the world,
Speaker 1: the keer Starmer's whatever halfwit is in charge of Canada
Speaker 1: right now, they know there's no Palestinian state and aren't
Speaker 1: going to be. It is a truly and merely symbolic gesture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say so. Like all the questions you had yesterday, Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: what are the boundaries? What's the government?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: What are their laws? Tell me about this Palestinian state
Speaker 1: of yours? WHOA well, when do you suggest it starts? Well? Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's it's more than a little disturbing that world leaders,
Speaker 1: including our feckless allies, engage in that sort of foolish
Speaker 1: isn't aren't there you know, I'm asking the good folks.
Speaker 1: Aren't there enough real problems out there without people engaging
Speaker 1: in that sort of useless cynical symbolism. Well, part of
Speaker 1: it is just to buy off their own Muslim populations
Speaker 1: and their own progressive left, just to try to neutralize
Speaker 1: that to whatever extent they can. But I tell you what,
Speaker 1: you know, whether in life are in politics, you compromise
Speaker 1: your principles to buy off you know, one constituency or
Speaker 1: another enough and you end up putting no principles. A
Speaker 1: little bit later, I took in a podcast yesterday with
Speaker 1: a person who is an expert and written a book
Speaker 1: about your mass shooters, assassin type people that do the
Speaker 1: high profile, spectacular killings of themselves and others, and it's
Speaker 1: what it's worth. I ran into the same thing. I
Speaker 1: found it fascinating. Yeh, yeah, I'd say so. So we'll
Speaker 1: take a look at that fits in with, you know,
Speaker 1: some of the events that have happened in recent weeks. Absolutely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to hear your your favorite parts of it
Speaker 1: are the most intriguing parts to you, because again I
Speaker 1: thought it was super insightful. And there's one other thing
Speaker 1: I wanted to tease. I don't remember. It was Keith
Speaker 1: Oberman's an a hole. But that's not really new news. No,
Speaker 1: that's not a tease. In addition to what he said
Speaker 1: last week, Keith Oberman, he used to have a very
Speaker 1: highly rated show on MSNBC. Okay, we'll get into that
Speaker 1: more later. Uh. The the biggest carrier of Kimmel affiliates
Speaker 1: says they're not gonna air Kimmel the Second hasn't made
Speaker 1: a choice yet, haven't hasn't publicized that choice yet, hasn't
Speaker 1: publicized it. That's an excellent distinction. But so we'll see
Speaker 1: how that plays out throughout the day. Lots of stuff
Speaker 1: on the way, Katie's headlines on the way. Next, here's
Speaker 1: our text line four one five nine five KFTC. Holy Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm stealing a headline from you, Katie.
Speaker 1: This is breaking news. Swatting hoaxes have led Secret Service
Speaker 1: agents as to three hundred servers capable of crippling New
Speaker 1: York City's cell phone system. That news is just breaking.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty damned interesting to me. Oh boy, well
Speaker 1: that's super great. I'm in the process of shipping all
Speaker 1: my guitars to my son in case I die in
Speaker 1: FCC prison because you failed to officially start the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: way to go, Jack, last segment. Yeah, thanks a lot. Trump.
Speaker 1: The FCC is on the war path, and you jab
Speaker 1: them in the eye. Well in a jab the junkie
Speaker 1: in the eye, but you jabbed the FCC in the eye.
Speaker 1: And the show. Yeah, Katie open to start a family
Speaker 1: and she's going to be an FCC Chaiels. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I think only I go to prison. So I
Speaker 1: think you're on the hook, off the hook, we can
Speaker 1: we'll justify against you. We could do it now. I'm
Speaker 1: Jack Armstrong, He's Jo Getti on this. It is Twoday day,
Speaker 1: September twenty third, the year twenty twenty five or Armstrong
Speaker 1: and getting and we approve of this program. All right,
Speaker 1: let's begin the show officially according to SEC rules. Rags
Speaker 1: at Mark.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian.
Speaker 1: Profession No, No, I said, no, not you you're cenn
Speaker 1: you effect this Go ahead, Brian, I want to go
Speaker 1: back to there you go as part of the press
Speaker 1: conference just day around tailand oh, I think in that
Speaker 1: big announcement we'll play a little bit of that. Trump says,
Speaker 1: don't take it. It's not worth the risk. Even if
Speaker 1: RFK Junior said, well, in these specific certain sense, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't take it, and Trump said, I don't see why
Speaker 1: the point of taking the risk because Trump's like an
Speaker 1: anti He doesn't take He doesn't no caffeine, no booze,
Speaker 1: no smoking. I don't think he takes medicine either, if
Speaker 1: he can avoid it. It's one of those people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he asked, McDonald's just mc donalds. Yeah, right, hell's not Yeah,
Speaker 1: all of his advisors behind him were like, we didn't
Speaker 1: say that that. No, oh boy, about the tail and
Speaker 1: all thing. All right, but I think it'll come and go. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We can talk about it later. There
Speaker 1: will be a fair number of women who are afraid
Speaker 1: to take any aced of minafin product during pregnancy because
Speaker 1: of that. Consult your doctor. Toughen out. That's what he said,
Speaker 1: toughen out. Oh boy, it's not quite anyway. Let's figure
Speaker 1: out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 2: Katie alrighty guys, starting with The New York Times, Jimmy
Speaker 2: Kimmel's show to return to ABC tonight.
Speaker 1: You, Oh, America rejoices. You know, it's like Trump lashing
Speaker 1: out at CNN speaking of things that have no real
Speaker 1: significance anymore. Just lash out at them. Don't like swatting a.
Speaker 2: Mosquito speaking of CNN from CNN. US is blocking Iranian
Speaker 2: diplomats in United States from shopping at Costco.
Speaker 1: There you go, right, huh, that's right, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pay. You can't buy in bulk, are right? All right?
Speaker 1: You call me the Great Satan. You can't shop in
Speaker 1: our stupendous superstores. Take that from the Washington Post.
Speaker 2: Drone flights shut down airports in Denmark and Norway as
Speaker 2: anxiety over Russia sores.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like big nasty military, well piloted drones, couple of
Speaker 1: major airports in northern Europe. Wow, I didn't know that. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a story from NBC.
Speaker 2: Trump to address un AS divisions with allies deep in
Speaker 2: over Palestinian statehood.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Boy, for all the attention that that's going to
Speaker 1: get today, that question of Russia pushing NATO further and
Speaker 1: further every day, That's that's the where the decision needs
Speaker 1: to be made. That's where they need to get together
Speaker 1: in corners and figure out what they're going to do.
Speaker 1: And I still maintain that most of these statements of
Speaker 1: solidarity with the Palestinian state are just trying to buy
Speaker 1: off the Muslim populations and the progressive left in the
Speaker 1: various countries England, France, Canada, whatever from US say today.
Speaker 1: White House says, TikTok.
Speaker 2: Reaches deal to keep operating in the United States under
Speaker 2: American ownership.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's all about the algorithm. Is the algorithm going
Speaker 1: to be the same or Not.
Speaker 2: From the Washington Times, intelligence chief warns of Chinese threats
Speaker 2: in space.
Speaker 1: Their modernization pace is alarming. Ooh boy, what are you
Speaker 1: trying to do to me today? Give me a heart attack.
Speaker 1: China attacking on every front that can think of. Wake up, America,
Speaker 1: wake up and smell the soy sauce.
Speaker 2: From the New York Post, Connecticut said ban first cousin marriages,
Speaker 2: which are still legal in at least sixteen states.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody's getting married at all or having sex,
Speaker 1: So go ahead. Eaden's second cousins are getting married. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to dig into that. Send me that story, Katie,
Speaker 1: because I'm just curious as to why, why, now, why
Speaker 1: did Connecticut all of a sudden to say, damn it,
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, maybe not looking at birth rates and thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, unless it's clearly a horrible idea, let's just
Speaker 1: let's not put up any barriers the family.
Speaker 2: Starting from study fines, college students' test scores soared after
Speaker 2: chat GPT.
Speaker 1: They're writing not so much. Okay, that's pretty interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was reading about a subculture of college students. High
Speaker 1: school students too or refuse to use it at all.
Speaker 1: They insist on learning the old school way, and they're
Speaker 1: taking on a hell of a challenge. They're a fairly
Speaker 1: small minority, I guess, but they will run the world.
Speaker 2: And finally, from the Babylon b more winning, Trump orders
Speaker 2: bombing of ship smuggling thirty thousand kilos of pumpkin spice
Speaker 2: into the United States.
Speaker 1: I had ending up for Americans against that bully. I
Speaker 1: have it out with that flavor right now. I can't.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere and it's driving me crazy already. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you mentioned in chat GPT. I was big on that
Speaker 1: for a while and I still am. So I've got
Speaker 1: chat GPT, Claude and Grock now that I compare every
Speaker 1: question with I should get Gemini I on there and
Speaker 1: see who I like the best. He's one of my favorite.
Speaker 1: Pundits said they like Claude the best, so I was
Speaker 1: trying that out. They are all subtly different. They're definitely
Speaker 1: different around copyright stuff. Like I was doing some research
Speaker 1: on art that I was talking to somebody about well
Speaker 1: last night, and a couple of them will not give
Speaker 1: you the image. I'm sorry, that's copyrighted. We can't show
Speaker 1: you that. Whereas chat GPT is like, yeah, here's eight
Speaker 1: different versions. So I'm you know, it just just shows
Speaker 1: you how there's the rules are all over the place
Speaker 1: on this stuff. I'm a computer. I don't need a lawyer.
Speaker 1: I show you anything you want. Yeah. Speaking of which,
Speaker 1: the copy shop employee you refuse to print a Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk poster and got fired. Isn't that just like the
Speaker 1: Denver baker who wouldn't make gay cupcakes or what have you.
Speaker 1: We've had people emailing about that. I would love to
Speaker 1: talk about that. Why it is different? Okay, cool, Well
Speaker 1: we'll do that next and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a pretty big news day, So
Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: That campaign that you all launched pretending that you were
Speaker 3: going to cancel Hulu while secretly racing through four seasons
Speaker 3: of only murders in the building. I really was congratulations,
Speaker 3: wasn't it? Wasn't it interesting to try and figure out
Speaker 3: all the tentacles Disney has in your daily life. It's
Speaker 3: one thing to swear off cruises, but the Avengers.
Speaker 1: Nah, how is.
Speaker 3: It possible that by getting rid of one company? I
Speaker 3: can't watch Winnie the Pooh or Monday Night Football.
Speaker 1: That is pretty funny when you think about now, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna boycott Disney. Oh are you if you looked
Speaker 1: into what that means? Right? Why were they gonna boycott
Speaker 1: Disney because canceled Kimmel? All right? Yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: hottest story among back crowd for the last week. So
Speaker 1: people were, so, you're gonna cancel your Hulu your Disney trip,
Speaker 1: not watch the Avengers or Monday Night Football or yeah,
Speaker 1: that's his point. You got a boycott Disney, A tiny
Speaker 1: flash in a stupid pan. You know, you probably don't
Speaker 1: remember this. A couple of years ago, I came across
Speaker 1: a really good comprehensive chart. I guess it was of
Speaker 1: Disney Corporation and it's holdings, and as I was describing
Speaker 1: at the time, it makes Exxon or GM look like
Speaker 1: your corner coffee shop. It is all the stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: lots of media stuff is John Store was pointing out
Speaker 1: that you didn't realize hotels all in conference centers all
Speaker 1: over the world branded Disney and many not branded Disney.
Speaker 1: MANU factoring just accounting processing, just like they have their
Speaker 1: The mouse is not a mouse he's an eight hundred
Speaker 1: pound gorilla, giant soul crushing just calculating corporation. The fact
Speaker 1: that they've still got the image of facts the happiest
Speaker 1: pleasure on earth come with your smile at kids is
Speaker 1: really quite an accomplishment. You almost have to admire it.
Speaker 1: That's right. I'm a pretty big effing deal. Move out
Speaker 1: of the way. Oh crush you. I I crushed goofy.
Speaker 1: You don't hear much from him anymore?
Speaker 3: Do Yeah?
Speaker 1: Jeez? Put his head and device. I got a follow
Speaker 1: up on the banning marriages among first cousins in Connecticut.
Speaker 1: Gotta follow on that story. Didn't see that coming from
Speaker 1: one angle of the controversy. That actually what makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. Why would you ban gay first cousins from
Speaker 1: getting married. It's all about having kids, So I can't
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes who are first cousins who fall
Speaker 1: in love with each other a little weird, uh, decided
Speaker 1: to get married. Why not make Thanksgiving dinner a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: That's where the controversy comes in. So anyway, more on
Speaker 1: that and a whole bunch of other stuff later. Wow. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: speaking of controversies, I found this very interesting, particularly because
Speaker 1: we got a couple of females asking about it. Uh.
Speaker 1: You remember the Colorado bake shop who refused to make
Speaker 1: a gag for a gay wedding, And there have been
Speaker 1: a couple other cases like this. There was a giant
Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling, right and which what did they rule
Speaker 1: that he could say no to making the cake? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm getting to that it was made a huge
Speaker 1: cause by the left who was screaming no, it's discrimination,
Speaker 1: and what the Supreme Court decided quite correctly in my opinion,
Speaker 1: And I don't have the decisions in front of me,
Speaker 1: So forgive me if my paraphrasing is a little off,
Speaker 1: actual attorneys, But if you are asking somebody to engage
Speaker 1: in create the creative arts, an act of sell of
Speaker 1: expression and creation, as opposed to say, pressing go on
Speaker 1: a copy machine, they cannot be compelled to engage in
Speaker 1: that speech because compelled speech is as bad as censored speech.
Speaker 1: So you cannot force me to write a song or well,
Speaker 1: you cannot compel me to agree to write a song
Speaker 1: zorin mum, danmi will save New York. I won't do it.
Speaker 1: I won't take money for it. I won't create that.
Speaker 1: And that's good because the First Amendment protects you against
Speaker 1: compel spe But you couldn't say I won't sell you
Speaker 1: this cardboard to make signs, because that's a commodity. It's
Speaker 1: not a creative expression. So you got this case in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
Speaker 1: one of our more amusingly named cities in America. Kalamazoo.
Speaker 1: Here's this twenty one year old duty. He's the head
Speaker 1: of the Kalamazoo Young Republicans. He's running errands, getting ready
Speaker 1: for a vigil honoring Charlie Kirk. One of his stops
Speaker 1: was at his local office depot to print a poster
Speaker 1: that was a picture of Charlie in black and white
Speaker 1: and said the legendary Charlie Kirk nineteen ninety three twenty five.
Speaker 1: And some folks there at the home depot refused to
Speaker 1: print it, calling it propaganda. Okay, so two and a
Speaker 1: home depot fired the employees initiative of public apology. So
Speaker 1: there are two levels of two questions here. One is
Speaker 1: the first time men, sure they did, I'm sure they've
Speaker 1: got Hey, just if somebody comes in and wants to
Speaker 1: make just make the freaking copy and send them up
Speaker 1: a Dorria, freaking morh, nobody cares what you think, and
Speaker 1: concluding me, I think you are go go. So anyway,
Speaker 1: there's two questions here. The first one is the First
Speaker 1: Amendment question, which I think I've more or less dealt with.
Speaker 1: Pressing go on copy machine is not the same as
Speaker 1: painting a portrait, writing a song, painstakingly decorating a cake,
Speaker 1: which is an artistic expression. And the second question is,
Speaker 1: and there are people on the left saying, oh, you conservatives,
Speaker 1: you're defending the baker, blah blah blah. But no, are
Speaker 1: these poor guys you can fire from the home people. No.
Speaker 1: The second question is does a giant corporation must they
Speaker 1: employ jackasses? We will say, I'm not hitting go on
Speaker 1: this printer couse, I don't like your politics. It's a
Speaker 1: completely different question. I would suggest that a bakery that's
Speaker 1: not a owned and operated by the cake decorator. But
Speaker 1: if it's some big industrial bakery, I'm working for one
Speaker 1: of the big grocery stores that also does cake decorator.
Speaker 1: Costco does, don't they anyway? Uh? If I'm a cake
Speaker 1: decorator for Costco and I say, well, sorry, not going
Speaker 1: to decorate that cake for gay fellaws. Costco has every
Speaker 1: right to say, well that we do here and you
Speaker 1: work for us, so goobye, and then you can go
Speaker 1: ahead and start your own business where you can make
Speaker 1: that choice. But there's a difference between making it for
Speaker 1: yourself and making it for your employer. And you don't
Speaker 1: want to live in a world where you know either
Speaker 1: one of those things doesn't apply. So I couldn't. By
Speaker 1: the way, you got a job at office depot. It's
Speaker 1: not like you're the shortstop for the Yankees. You know,
Speaker 1: there are other jobs out there. Go somewhere they love
Speaker 1: you at. Get out of here. Well, I think in general,
Speaker 1: I think it should be easier to fire people. Just
Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, I don't like I don't like your attitude.
Speaker 1: You know, you shouldn't have to like document it over
Speaker 1: six months whatever. That's a that's a perfectly reasonable reason
Speaker 1: to get rid of people don't like you just did.
Speaker 1: It makes the workplace on front hard to work with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you raise our stress and your lower product, so
Speaker 1: you get goo bye. AnyWho. So I couldn't like just
Speaker 1: not like it's a wedding cake. I'm not decorating at all.
Speaker 1: I'd say, I'm not selling a wedding cake to you
Speaker 1: with your gay marriage. You can't do that, right, It's
Speaker 1: a private, little individual. I'm a one man cake shop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a commodity. It's not a creative expression. Okay, So
Speaker 1: that's the that's because people always use the example of
Speaker 1: not serving black people at a soda counter or whatever. Right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Now you might pour that soda with love and dedication,
Speaker 1: but it's not a creative expression. It's different. And and
Speaker 1: again it's protecting the preciousness of free speech, which is
Speaker 1: something of my many g hods. That's right at the top,
Speaker 1: which is why I'm vocally harshly critical of what the
Speaker 1: Trump administration is doing right now. I don't like it.
Speaker 1: There needs to be it's like we've talked about, there
Speaker 1: needs to be something called super guilty, where it's just
Speaker 1: like you're so incredibly obviously guilty in so many different ways,
Speaker 1: just like, let's skip the trial and execute I mean, right,
Speaker 1: super guilty. There needs to be super a hole or
Speaker 1: something like that. The sort of person who would refuse
Speaker 1: to print some up with Charlie Kirk poster, You're just
Speaker 1: a jerk. I don't want you around anything. I don't
Speaker 1: want you involved in my kids little league. I don't
Speaker 1: want you in my neighborhood. I just you're just an
Speaker 1: a hole. Yes, and there are a lot of them
Speaker 1: these days. And here's another great way to look at
Speaker 1: what I was describing before. If that person, the aforementioned
Speaker 1: a hole, according to mister Armstrong, were to say to
Speaker 1: the guy printing the Charlie Kirk poster, Okay, i'll print
Speaker 1: it for you, but I hated Charlie Kirk and I
Speaker 1: think your politics suck. You have a one hundred percent
Speaker 1: ironclad First Amendment right to say that, and Home Deepost
Speaker 1: should fire you on the spot. Yeah, because Home Depot
Speaker 1: is not the federal government. They're your employer. Well, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want them as an employee. Well, switching around because
Speaker 1: you know, too many people in an instagree with this.
Speaker 1: If I work somewhere and somebody's coming in and mom
Speaker 1: Dommy's a good idea, they got their big mom Dammy poster,
Speaker 1: I don't get to say no, I don't like mom Dommy,
Speaker 1: so I'm not printing your poster. I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I might say he's a commedy scumbag who's going to
Speaker 1: ruin New York. Thank you for your business. But then
Speaker 1: when my boss came to me and said, hey, malthe mcmotherson,
Speaker 1: I need you to see me in my office. Hey
Speaker 1: did you can't come as a shock. But what about
Speaker 1: free speech? I would say as an ignoramus, Hey, Jimmy
Speaker 1: notes skills. How about you just do what you're told
Speaker 1: until you develop some skills. The trained monkeys are about
Speaker 1: a day away from being ready. Do you get my meeting?
Speaker 1: All right? All right, more to come after a quick
Speaker 1: word from our friends at Trust and Will. You can
Speaker 1: get security and peace of mind by making the state plan. Now,
Speaker 1: I happen to be reading a really move article from
Speaker 1: a Wall Street journal writer who has recently passed young.
Speaker 1: It's terrible, but his last columns were about how hard
Speaker 1: he was working to prepare his family for when he
Speaker 1: was gone. He had a disease that he knew about,
Speaker 1: he knew it was not going to last very long.
Speaker 1: And what it made clear is how incredibly important it
Speaker 1: is to have your affairs settled so your family doesn't
Speaker 1: feel the stress and the anger and the expense and
Speaker 1: the courts and the rest of it. Get security and
Speaker 1: peace of mind by making the state plan now with

Speaker 1: Get twenty percent off on your state planned documents by
Speaker 1: visiting Trust and Will dot com slash armstrong. Drop this
Speaker 1: down Trust Anddwill dot com slash armstrong. I get came
Speaker 1: past the sort of person that part of your job
Speaker 1: description is pressing print on a copier and you're making
Speaker 1: big decisions. I mean, I mean, and I've had no
Speaker 1: skilled jobs. I was sorting nails at a big hardware
Speaker 1: store when I was a college graduate for a while.
Speaker 1: All right, that's about a lowest skilled job as you
Speaker 1: can and I should have had no role in making
Speaker 1: any decisions on behalf of the corporation as a guy
Speaker 1: who brought to the company the skill of telling a
Speaker 1: big nail from a small nail and put them in
Speaker 1: different piles. Yeah, literally trained monkey work, Yes, which I
Speaker 1: have done myself, trust me, right, right, right? What was
Speaker 1: I gonna say? It seemed important at the time trained
Speaker 1: monkeys nails the constitution. You could train a monkey to
Speaker 1: short nails, probably be better at it. Oh, I know
Speaker 1: what I was gonna say, Well, it would certainly, you know,
Speaker 1: if you gave it a banana every now and again
Speaker 1: or some grapes, probably be happy as can be. The
Speaker 1: generation or the sort of person who is so emotional
Speaker 1: about their political beliefs and so convinced that anybody who
Speaker 1: would print a Charlie Kirk poster is a monster and
Speaker 1: to be opposed is a very progressive thing. It's more
Speaker 1: common on the progressive side, I think than the conservative side,
Speaker 1: although there certainly I've known plenty of fairly obligerent conservatives
Speaker 1: who'd say what they thought, but that idea, that look,
Speaker 1: there's somebody who disagrees with me. I can't stand it.
Speaker 1: I just don't get that. Well, we need to move
Speaker 1: away from that. You're talking about people on both sides.
Speaker 1: How about we stop doing that. And you know what
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk might even say is he'd print it and say,
Speaker 1: you know, I find this character to be divisive and
Speaker 1: some stuff he said was like line hateful to me?
Speaker 1: Why do you like him? And not in a attacking way,
Speaker 1: but a curious way, even although I'd prefer you not
Speaker 1: do it on company time. Here at the home depot,
Speaker 1: the paper clips need sorting and it's Jack stay off.
Speaker 1: Bosa's out for the season. What Nick Bosa? He's out
Speaker 1: for this superstar San Francisco, forty first place, undefeated, forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. He's out for the season with a torn
Speaker 1: acl That sucks, got it. That's the worst part of
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, the NFL has got a lot
Speaker 1: going forward. It's the number one sport by far, But
Speaker 1: the worst part of it is so many of the
Speaker 1: good players get hurt. Yeah, god dang it, that sucks. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we got email on the way and a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of other different topics to get to. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel
Speaker 1: is gonna be back on the air Tonet. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard to take. He's gonna be so self satisfied
Speaker 1: and smug all of the apology. Did they brow beat
Speaker 1: him into making that'll be He's not making one, right.
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll really cry? The news was yesterday
Speaker 1: he said he is not part of the agreement. Was
Speaker 1: he is not going to apologize. Wow, okay, well, keep
Speaker 1: in mind this is utterly insignificant. Okay, stay tuned. Well,
Speaker 1: Fat Bear Week is back. I kind of remember this
Speaker 1: from last year Fat Bear Week, where there some website
Speaker 1: has a couple of fat bears and you vote on him,
Speaker 1: and then that bear goes on to in the bracket
Speaker 1: to face the next fat bear that people hiking. People
Speaker 1: vote on it. Fat You remember that from last year?
Speaker 1: I kind of was a full year ago. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: maybe it seems more recent because didn't like last year's
Speaker 1: champion croak or something. I do not know this. I
Speaker 1: did not know this matter Fat Bear Week. We'll have
Speaker 1: to come up with the link for that. She can
Speaker 1: get involved. She's like, yes, here's your freedom loving quote
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 2: For more.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll go with this one of a tree, especially
Speaker 1: one of the long living hardwood trees is a gift
Speaker 1: which you can make to posterity and almost no costing,
Speaker 1: with almost no trouble. And if the tree takes root,
Speaker 1: it will far outlive the visible effect of any of
Speaker 1: your other actions, good or evil. It's an interesting thought.
Speaker 1: I was walking through the forest on our big hike
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and redwood forest here in northern California,
Speaker 1: and you know, those trees are hundreds of years old.
Speaker 1: They were growing when George Washington was president. It's just
Speaker 1: a stunning thought, hitting things in perspective. Ye, I've heard
Speaker 1: the planting of trees that will be enjoyed long after
Speaker 1: you're gone as a it's a great metaphor for being
Speaker 1: a good citizen. Voting for things and policies are like
Speaker 1: planting those trees. I mean the opposite would be, I
Speaker 1: don't know, spending your children and grandchildren into oblivion. That
Speaker 1: would be the opposites of the good thing to do.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh, I'm sorry. That was discouraging. I'm discouraged. Scourge.
Speaker 1: Everybody's scourge. I apologize. Mailbag. Let's see mail bag at
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Giddy dot com is the email address. A
Speaker 1: lot of short emails today, Sean guys that social media
Speaker 1: is called blue Sky. I figured it was pronounced blue
Speaker 1: sky like Rusky during the Cold War. Feels like a
Speaker 1: better fit, and I don't think they disagree with the
Speaker 1: implication blue sky. Let's see, this is David talking about
Speaker 1: how bad network news is. Then we heard plenty about
Speaker 1: Jackie the Bear. Joe, how'd you do at your golf tournament?
Speaker 1: Just fine? Played fine, had a great time, solid friends,
Speaker 1: enjoyed the beauty of Monterey, California. A too much, drank
Speaker 1: too much, it was fantastic in the pack. Finished I'm
Speaker 1: nearly killed by a bear. And you equate that with
Speaker 1: how was Joe's golf round? Yes, that's correct. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Sheila right. Jack was sharing with us as efforts to
Speaker 1: get rid of his RBF and replace it with his new,
Speaker 1: heavily practiced happy face. I do it all the time, constantly.
Speaker 1: Now recalling how Davy Crockett famously grinned down a bar,
Speaker 1: I'm wondering why Jack didn't just fire up his new
Speaker 1: happy face an attempt to grin down that bar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good question, Shield exactly. I wasn't exactly sure
Speaker 1: what to do, but I was not sticking my head
Speaker 1: out of that tent flap. No, no, no, no. I
Speaker 1: mean a tent isn't much of a barrier, but at
Speaker 1: least the bear doesn't know where to swing its mighty claws,
Speaker 1: right if you're inside the tent. Yeah, what a chilling
Speaker 1: moment on the top of my name my underwear too.
Speaker 1: I can't fight a bear in my underwear. It's undignified.
Speaker 1: Right on the topic of young Erica Kirk, do you
Speaker 1: think missus Kirk for giving that man who shot her
Speaker 1: husband paves the way for Utah to not see the
Speaker 1: death penalty. No, absolutely not. I feel her near future
Speaker 1: will be on the Vance Kirk presidential ticket. That's an
Speaker 1: interesting thing. She may have no interest in that. John
Speaker 1: Anonymous writes, you guys have missed the real truth between
Speaker 1: Kimmel's cancelation the FTC has finally enacted his lifetime ban
Speaker 1: from comedy as a multiple loser of more than his
Speaker 1: share of late night jokeoffs on Armstrong and Getty Show. God,
Speaker 1: He's gonna be hard to take and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: watch it tonight, but the clips are going to be
Speaker 1: everywhere by the self satisfied media that feels like this
Speaker 1: is a blow against Trump. All right, whatever, We got
