WEBVTT - I'm Not Comfortable With The Idea Of Beating A Gorilla 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:14.880 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:20.040 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong, and Jetty 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:21.200 and he. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:24.759 Arm draw. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:37.680 The drum studio scene sees and your dimly lit room deeper. 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.440 From the fowls of. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.519 The Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. Hey, y'all today, it's 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.880 all right Tuesday. We're under the tutelage of our general 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.680 manager Trump's first one hundred days. Mama, give him a 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.320 letter grade. We'll take care of calls from Oh bah, 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:54.000 what grade? 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:59.080 And why? Oh please? I don't care. I gave him 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.120 a bee my. I just don't care. I'm glad he's 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.120 sealed up. 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.759 You don't care. I don't care, apathetic, I don't care. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.080 It's if there's. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.360 One ongoing theme we have on this show, and it's 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.319 hit me in the face hard in the last twenty 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.440 four hours with all this dog is, why does everybody 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.160 spend so much time talking about the president? Don't you 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.920 have anything else to do with your life? Is there 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.000 something else you want to do with your life rather 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.880 than to the end of your days your dying breath. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.240 Discuss whoever's president? Is that what you saur national pastime. 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.840 This is our national sport. Come on, we've known that 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:37.399 for a while. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.319 What I'll tells do to talk about how your favorite 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.800 baseball team's doing. None zero. But people do it. They 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.240 enjoy it. It's a pastime. What a horrible pastime. It's 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.880 like the worst past time I can imagine. I don't know, 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.200 I collect infections or I don't know. You can't think 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.280 of the worst pastime. Yeah, Anthony Fauci did that. It 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.320 didn't go very well, speaking of infections or virus or 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.320 whatever I had. I feel close to normal for the 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.360 first time in three weeks, So I'm very excited about that. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.600 Even in my way, my head is still full of 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.040 whatever it's full of, and I can't here out of 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.000 either ear. But in terms of vim and vigor, both 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.800 both of these, I feel fantastic. So I hope you 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.720 sound quite normal. I hope you don't catch this disease whatever. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.720 My son's got like five days behind me and really struggling. Oh, 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.040 we got a note from a nice fellow whose son 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.359 is five weeks in. Oh my god, just the coffid 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.400 and sneezing and weeze and unspecified respiratory infection. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.480 Wow. Yeah, poor little lad and not something that antibiotics 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:38.920 can do. 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:43.639 Something without apparently not Wow, its email read like a 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.160 civilized man who has access to medical care. Yeah, I 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.120 don't think the antibotics have done anything for me, So 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.960 I think it turned out it was a virus and 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.760 not something that you could deal with that with anyway. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.200 You know, don't take your advice from disc jockeys. 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:02.400 That'd be my never use that, Never use that term 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.320 around me, sir. I don't ever want to hear you 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:04.960 say that again. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.000 You say that again, it won't be the truth that 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.800 hits you in the face. All right, enough said, Oh, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:17.000 which reminds me. I'm so excited about several topics we're 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.120 going to get to today. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:19.760 Cool really ensued. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:29.040 Perhaps chief among them, can one hundred unarmed men defeat 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:34.960 a single gorilla in a fight? Science and AI have 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.720 weighed in on the question, Well, if you had a 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.320 strategy maybe. If you didn't have a strategy, no, but 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.840 if you had a strategy. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.320 Maybe you're a thinking man. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.560 One hundred unarmed men against a single like eight hundred 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.160 pounds lowland gorilla. I think your strategy we'd have to 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.480 include some brave people who are willing to take a 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.800 severe ass kicking. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:58.960 To be the lead. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.160 Guys, Please the old Yankee your arm out of it 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.680 socket and beat you with a bloody stump, right yeah, 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.000 times like thirty at least. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.200 Or make you his wife briefly. 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.360 That would be a surprising twist later in the show, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.640 can one hundred unarmed men defeat a single gorilla in 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.040 a fight? 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:17.440 Today? 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:23.400 With the topic everyone's talking about? So I do pay 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.400 attention to the media landscape because that's what I do 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:25.839 for a living. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.520 I thought that was this was interesting. 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.760 So Trump has got a rally tonight, first rally since 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:35.080 he's been president Tomorrow Night News Nation, which I've started 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.320 watching every morning along with the other shows that I watch. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.960 Tomorrow Night, he's going to be on a show with 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:49.479 Andrew Cuomo, Bill O'Reilly and Stephen A. Smith on News Nation. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.560 That's their lineup for a town hall with Trump tomorrow night. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.760 It's a heck of a lineup, isn't it odd? Eh? 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.400 So if you if you've been sleeping on that channel, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.520 I know a lot of you been screaming at me, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.440 why aren't you watching this? But if you've been sleeping 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:04.920 on that channel, you got to check it out. It's 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.479 like I said, it's it's weird. It takes a little 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.240 getting used to, and it's making me think about what 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:15.520 we do. But it's flat unfair. It just doesn't have 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.960 the passion of hatred that the other channels have, where 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.359 you gotta hate somebody and scream about it. They don't 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.360 do that, so it just I'm not used to that. 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.359 That's the way all news used to be when I 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.120 was younger, nobody was screaming about hating anyone or anything. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.000 But I need to watch it. Not all dislike, I 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:40.919 hate the term hate. Not all dislike is inappropriate, and 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:44.600 not all energy or enthusiasm is negative. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.200 But I will have to watch. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.600 It's just a calmer Is that how you would describe it? 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:49.880 Yeah? 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.480 Well, less analysis for one thing, Just less analysis overall. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.520 We have too much analysis, that says a guy who 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.200 makes his house payment with analysis and is analyzing even 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.599 if he speaks. Yes, but there's too much freaking analysis. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.359 There's not enough news reporting, and there's way too much 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.279 punditry around the little news reporting that is inaccurately put 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:11.720 out there. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.599 Yeah you could say that. Yeah, for sure. 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.200 I was profoundly annoyed, for instance, by a Wall Street 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.479 Journal report this morning written by some gal about the 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.520 chaos and ugliness and yelling speaking of that sort of 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.960 thing at various Republican congress people's town hall meetings during 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.960 the two week recess. And it was long and included 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.960 far too many quotes of what people were shouting in 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.679 what district and blah blah blah. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.520 And I'll get to that in a little bit. But 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.960 at no point did. 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.800 This gal even ask the question, which is widely. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:50.200 Known at this point. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.520 I've said at this point twice, at this point, at 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.280 this point, and even I think you've sufficiently covered at 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.240 what point we're at. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:00.520 Yes, we are. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:05.000 At no other point than this, clearly so concluded by remarks. 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.520 And then you walk up the stay, anybody picks an 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.360 ice space out for a second or did he not 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.680 say anything? It's either brilliant or wait a minute, yeah 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.480 that's said. Wow, I'm like work in Kamala Harris's side 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:17.920 of the street. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.360 When you consider the passes your time, right, you have 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.280 to consider the significance of the time that passes, all right, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.160 But she didn't even ask the question, and it's been answered, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.520 are these organized disruptions by democrats? 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:42.120 Doesn't even make a brief appearance in the article. Hey sweetheart, 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.880 he says, somewhat demeaningly, why didn't you spend an extra 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:50.280 few minutes on that report and dig into that? I know, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.560 I haven't wanted to play some of the clips that 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.960 they just go crazy over on CNN and MSNBC about 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.600 these people that disrupted this Republican congressman's town hall is 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:02.160 shouting in. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.320 His constituents are so unhappy. What's a job he's doing? 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.200 Like when I saw where they were shouting tax the rich, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.480 and I thought, there's not a freaking chance in hell 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.960 there's a self organized group of Republicans showing up to 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.000 the Republican congressman chanting tax the wretch. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:19.520 Not a chance. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.760 It's extremely unlikely anybody who voted for that person would 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.360 shout that under any circumstances. Right, and so again, so 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.360 that news article, and I'm sorry I didn't make the point. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.040 But the news article is in its own way analysis 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.480 because it is not collecting the facts that are relevant 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:37.920 to understanding the situation. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.119 The situation is interesting, and it's fine. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.240 Democratic activists are organizing groups to go to Republican congress 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.600 people's town halls to disrupt them and shout obscenities or 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.319 chant or or come out against doge or whatever. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.320 There are a bunch of different examples. That is what's happening. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.520 Well, if you are only going to continue the story 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.560 from my channel, I would say, and mainstream media is 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:05.120 pretending it's their own constituents turned against them. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.280 highly annoying. We should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.680 He's Joe Getty on this It is Tuesday, April twenty 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.920 ninth to or twenty twenty five. It is the one 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.600 hundredth day of Donald Trump's whatever the year, twenty twenty five. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.400 We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.040 You know, one of the primary difficulties in defeating the gorilla, 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.320 Jack is that they have extremely thick skulls, so you 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.880 can rain blows down upon them. I don't know, and 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.960 and and you know, do practically no damage. I'm not 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.719 comfortable with the idea of beating a gorilla on this 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.040 story either, but I suppose of my life depended on it, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.240 I would well, I assume the gorillas signed up for 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.800 this willingly. Anyway, let's begin the show according to FCC 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.320 rules and regulations. Let's begin beating the gorilla of the 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.600 lies of the progressive as precisely, atl Mark. 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.640 Cwton has renegged on every promise that he's made to 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:04.000 President Trump. I think at Putin thinks that America has 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.720 taken the bullet train to jump town. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.640 Oh geez, alright, that's it. That's it. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.320 Speaking of bipartisanship and the lack of it, can everyone 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.240 get together, left, right and center and agree. Senator John 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:24.080 Kennedy needs to stop with the homespun little sayings. You're 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.800 not illustired, you're not amusing anybody. You're not enlightening anybody. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.520 Nobody is gratified by the bullet train to chump town. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:33.320 It's not a. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.880 Thing to legislate. Well, he found a niche. You gotta 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.240 admire carving out your own niche. My niche is kind 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.960 of odd, hometown homespun sounding phrases that nobody's ever heard before. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.199 I wish he'd take the greyhound bush to shut up villa. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:57.640 Oh boy. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:06.520 Loud, Perhaps a transient to stick his head inside my 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.480 cyberbast yesterday, and I think I'm paying a price for it. 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:14.080 I need to tell that story later. W what, yes, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.280 what did he do? I find myself wondering, I'll have 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.000 to tell that story later, not at this time, at 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.360 a different time. We've got Katie's headlines on the way, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.079 which we got to get to. Got mail bag this hour. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.480 We'll catch you up on some of the news of 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.240 the day. Why did that seventy million dollar fighter plane 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.240 fall off the aircraft carrier yesterday? 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:36.160 What the hell? 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.400 What is going on there?

Weirdly enough, 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.760 on this show, we don't necessarily present everything for the 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:16.240 purpose of, you know, praising or condemning Donald J. 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:16.880 Trump. 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.560 It's just interesting. Here's your headline number one from the 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:25.000 Wall Street Journal. GM pulls profit guidance, citing significant tariff impact. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.920 GM's net income slid six point six percent in the 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.159 first quarter on weaker sales of highly profitable trucks and SUV's, 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.040 and GM is shelving its earlier profit guidance. That's when 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.320 they tell investors, look, here's how it looks. We think 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.639 we're gonna make an x amount of revenue x amount 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.440 of profit or within a couple of percent for twenty 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:50.040 twenty five. They have shelved it all, saying President Trump's 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.680 auto tariffs have clouded the outlook and its prior forecast 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:58.240 quote can't be relied upon, said the chief financial officer. 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.680
