Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast.
Speaker 2: Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong and Jetty
Speaker 2: and know He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3: I'm here a Jurassic World used to be Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3: It was just informed that it's no, it's dressing World. Actually,
Speaker 3: you seem to be moving dinosaurs all over the globe.
Speaker 3: Seems like a pretty bad idea. You think that they've
Speaker 3: learned from their past mistakes. What about in the nineties
Speaker 3: when Theresaurs friends stropping through San Diego? It where what.
Speaker 2: Will California learn? Wow?
Speaker 4: That's a good Tucker Carlson personation by a comedian.
Speaker 2: Wow Wow, Well the laugh gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 4: But to start the beginning, I mean, I really like
Speaker 4: play that the beginning part again, I'm here in Jurassic World.
Speaker 3: He used to be Jurrassic Park. It was just important
Speaker 3: that it's no, it's dressing World, Ashley.
Speaker 4: So that sort of thing there that he does all
Speaker 4: the time. Just you know, the powers that be have
Speaker 4: done something wrong. We all know that's wrong. But I
Speaker 4: won't explain tint at it. We'll all nod yes, yes.
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein the Israelis. Yes, Jurassic World, now, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I went to coming up.
Speaker 1: If you're a special interest or you're a powerful person
Speaker 1: in California and you want something from the government, what
Speaker 1: you do is you write a giant check to Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom's wife's charity and then Gavin will do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for the details. He laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 4: So I went to the Jurassic movie with my thirteen
Speaker 4: year old and he has crossed into the age of
Speaker 4: four teenager doom like his brother, which hadn't happened until
Speaker 4: very recently, which is good, you know, ultimately, but you
Speaker 4: don't want him to have the attitude of a little
Speaker 4: kid the rest of their lives.
Speaker 2: But he wanted to go to the Jurassic movies. Really
Speaker 2: into that.
Speaker 4: He's really into dinosaurs, all that sort of stuff. He
Speaker 4: had a kid he was hoping would go to the
Speaker 4: movie with him, but that kid was on vacation. The
Speaker 4: movie came out, he needed to see it the first week,
Speaker 4: so he was willing to go with me. So we
Speaker 4: went to the Jurassic movie Friday night together. We get there,
Speaker 4: he's sitting there, there's a lot of kids in the theater.
Speaker 4: He said, Dad, it's going to be really embarrassing if
Speaker 4: anybody sees me sitting with my dad. Could you sit
Speaker 4: somewhere else? And I said sure, that's fine because I
Speaker 4: wasn't thrilled about watching the Jurassic movie anyway. I don't
Speaker 4: I don't go to movies really at all, and I
Speaker 4: certainly don't go to dinosaur movies.
Speaker 1: So I said, yeah, see, I love the idea of
Speaker 1: the dinosaur movie plays giant lizards running the rough shot
Speaker 1: across the landscape eating people.
Speaker 2: Love that idea.
Speaker 4: So I got up, going to a different seat, walked
Speaker 4: out of the theater and went next door and had
Speaker 4: a burrito.
Speaker 2: Which was absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4: And I sat there and I had my burrito by myself,
Speaker 4: a nice quiet reading my phone while I was eating
Speaker 4: my burrito. And then I went back in and caught
Speaker 4: the last part of the movie and he said, what
Speaker 4: did you think of it? I thought, yeah, it was
Speaker 4: dinosaurs or something, which I assume is a good That's
Speaker 4: all for I just I cannot handle formulaic movies. I
Speaker 4: never really liked them, but I've reached a point where
Speaker 4: I just can't do it. Just I'm amazed that they
Speaker 4: still make so much money that you all like them.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the same plot all of these movies
Speaker 4: all the time. They have the scientist, geeky guy who
Speaker 4: the girl eventually falls for, and then you got kind
Speaker 4: of the schlubby dude, often played by Jack Black, but
Speaker 4: not in this case. This is kind of corny and
Speaker 4: has funny Joe. Just it's the same characters and every
Speaker 4: one of these freaking movies, and they have the same
Speaker 4: conversations that I just can't.
Speaker 2: Do it right.
Speaker 1: Well, some people I read about this, and I was
Speaker 1: super curious about this, because, just by way of illustration,
Speaker 1: I convinced my wife we should rent on the streaming
Speaker 1: the new Wes Anderson movie. Wes Anderson, if you know him,
Speaker 1: you love him? Rushmore, Moonlight, Serenade?
Speaker 2: Was that the name of a movie?
Speaker 1: Just the Hotel Budapest is just brilliant artists. He makes
Speaker 1: art movies and I love him dryly hilariously surreal movies.
Speaker 2: The Royal Tembombs was him right, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, he's got a great list of very quirky movies.
Speaker 2: But you love him or you don't get them.
Speaker 1: And my beloved bride, my favorite human being Unearthed just
Speaker 1: doesn't get Wes Anderson. She's like, I'm really glad you're
Speaker 1: enjoying this so much.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. She likes that formulaic stuff.
Speaker 1: So I was extra interested in understanding that there are
Speaker 1: there's a substantial chunk of humanity that finds it comforting
Speaker 1: that in the chaos and stress of the world and
Speaker 1: life and death and disease and hopes realized and hopes dashed,
Speaker 1: it's comforting. It's like my favorite Beatles song.
Speaker 4: So it's the familiarity that people like, yeah, oh god,
Speaker 4: that's interesting.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess that kind of makes sense.
Speaker 4: It is so off putting to me, but for a
Speaker 4: majority of people it's like this is I can relax.
Speaker 4: I know exactly what these characters are. I know it's
Speaker 4: gonna happen. I know nothing bad is going to happen
Speaker 4: to any of the people I like in this movie.
Speaker 4: That guy there, who's a jerk through the whole movie
Speaker 4: is gonna get it coming.
Speaker 2: And he does.
Speaker 4: Trinosaurus thing bites him in half, his arm comes off,
Speaker 4: rips is pearl, Argon's right out of his belly.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. If you're a moron.
Speaker 4: And didn't think the guy who was rude to the
Speaker 4: girl was gonna end up getting eaten by a dinosaur
Speaker 4: and all the people you like are gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: I just again, do you like that? You like that?
Speaker 2: I guess like here's the scene.
Speaker 1: It's funny you you were at understanding for like three
Speaker 1: seconds then went right back to contempt.
Speaker 2: Am I wrong, Katie?
Speaker 5: No, that's I'm actually loving how upset jacket.
Speaker 4: Here's here's the scene that I just can't stand. I've
Speaker 4: seen this like seventy times in my life. I think
Speaker 4: it was in one of the superhero movies I saw recently,
Speaker 4: and it does I hope I can portray this well enough.
Speaker 4: You got somebody he's trying to solve the pressure situation. Yeah, like,
Speaker 4: and he's on he's working on calculations, or he's on
Speaker 4: the trying to do something, and somebody says, we.
Speaker 2: Just got a call. I don't have time for.
Speaker 4: That right now. Or you're gonna want to take this call.
Speaker 4: This better be good? That scenett. Yeah, I'm in the
Speaker 4: middle of solving this major problem that is a plot
Speaker 4: point for this movie. You're gonna want to take this call.
Speaker 2: All right? But this better be good. And it's a.
Speaker 1: Major plot point, sir, It's a new one that's really
Speaker 1: gonna change the arc of the story better.
Speaker 2: Taking it makes me.
Speaker 4: Want to die seeing that for the seventieth time in
Speaker 4: a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, I'm like you. Who's that four?
Speaker 5: I'm picturing that line running in a movie in a
Speaker 5: theater and you going.
Speaker 2: That's it? What is rhyme? On? And stand up? What
Speaker 2: is wrong with you people? Is that a new thing
Speaker 2: for you? This thing that just happened to the movie.
Speaker 4: Haven't you seen the seventy times in your life?
Speaker 1: I love this idea of a movie where a guy
Speaker 1: walks in and he says, Hi, I'm Joe Jones. I'm
Speaker 1: the charming, good liking fellow who will be slowly revealed
Speaker 1: as being evil. Then you'll be glad when I get
Speaker 1: my come upp and nice to meet you, mister Jones,
Speaker 1: says the other character, Right right, just go ahead and
Speaker 1: spell it out.
Speaker 4: I'm want to stand up, jesseph ber How is this
Speaker 4: suspenseful for you? Nothing's gonna happen to these people.
Speaker 1: I'm the glamorous current girl and who will reveal to
Speaker 1: be a controlling bitch.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1: I'm the girl next door type whose heart is true
Speaker 1: and I will end up with the hero.
Speaker 2: Good to meet you. These two people that are.
Speaker 4: Falling for each other aren't gonna get eaten by a dinosaur.
Speaker 2: How are you worried about this? Oh?
Speaker 1: See, that's what I want. I want a dinosaur movie
Speaker 1: that's more realistic.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: You just never know when the slashing fangs of antiquity
Speaker 1: are gonna remove a major character's head, just like in
Speaker 1: real life.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 4: Scarlett Johanson's head gets bit off halfway through. Now clean off,
Speaker 4: twist right, but the scientists have fallen for and she
Speaker 4: kind of thinks he's cute. And no, no, she got
Speaker 4: her head bit clear. No no, the tear Exo song
Speaker 4: green ate her head off. What do you not care
Speaker 4: about that?
Speaker 1: The dinosaur doesn't care who's in love with whom?
Speaker 2: Idiots? The next move you go to Jackie.
Speaker 5: You just got to stand up in the middle of
Speaker 5: the crowd and look back at him and just start
Speaker 5: expressing your displeasure.
Speaker 2: Lecture them motor to work so.
Speaker 4: We can are up the spaceship and get out of here.
Speaker 2: Sir, we've got somebody on the phone. I don't have
Speaker 2: time for that right now, you're gonna want to take
Speaker 2: this call.
Speaker 4: It better be good and the acting in that do
Speaker 4: I need to have any talent to act in that scene.
Speaker 7: Much?
Speaker 4: I head want to explode, right, I've said my piece.
Speaker 2: You really so I go, okay.
Speaker 4: You find it comforting that the good people don't die
Speaker 4: and the jerk dies and that's good?
Speaker 2: And people clapped at the end. I want to say,
Speaker 2: what is wrong with you? Why are you clapping? This
Speaker 2: is the same.
Speaker 4: Movie as the previous seven, with different cgi ah people.
Speaker 2: I'd like to introduce you to doctor Smith.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 1: I'm the secondary character who will help the heroes, but
Speaker 1: I'm not important enough that I can't be sacrificed, so
Speaker 1: I'll be eating in about fifteen minutes of screen time,
Speaker 1: Doctor Smith.
Speaker 2: Dr Smith.
Speaker 5: People are clappic the end of the movie, and Jack
Speaker 5: his blood pressure is triple digits on both sides.
Speaker 4: What is wrong with you? How do you clap for this? S?
Speaker 4: I wish dinosaurs would eat you been now that would
Speaker 4: be exciting. I mean, I didn't even get to my
Speaker 4: other story of my son and his boy scout camp.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll get to that later or tomorrow or whenever.
Speaker 4: Some more we'll get to later this hour, not next.
Speaker 4: But Trump, as he usually does when he makes an announcement,
Speaker 4: it takes questions, It goes on and on, and more
Speaker 4: details came out about weapons systems were given to Ukraine,
Speaker 4: so we got the latest on that a little bit later.
Speaker 2: And there was the thing you mentioned.
Speaker 1: If you need the California government to do something for
Speaker 1: you, you just.
Speaker 2: Bribe the governor's wife.
Speaker 1: Did I say bribe, I mean contribute scads of money
Speaker 1: to her charity.
Speaker 2: Awesome? That's next.
Speaker 3: Next month, Jake Tapper will receive something called the truth
Speaker 3: Seekers Award. In other news, Joy Behart just got a
Speaker 3: Playboy centerfold.
Speaker 1: Wow, inappropriate, I think, is what he means.
Speaker 4: Well, if that's true, doesn't make sense? Is the key there?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect that the truth Seekers Award? Oh my god, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I know, all right, when that's sickening.
Speaker 2: When that happens, we'll talk about it, I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I love this. The Free Beacon with some great coverage.
Speaker 1: They mentioned that Gaviy Newsome, the governor of kell Unicornea,
Speaker 1: doesn't typically get involved in disputes between rival Native American tribes,
Speaker 1: but that changed last year when Newsom used his office
Speaker 1: to try to block a small tribe from opening a
Speaker 1: casino in northern California. In fact, in twenty August of
Speaker 1: twenty four, Newsom's office sent a letter on his behalf
Speaker 1: to the Biden Interior Department, urging it to reject a
Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollar proposed casino project north of San
Speaker 1: Francisco by the Koi Nation, a tribe with fewer.
Speaker 2: Than one hundred members. Wow.
Speaker 1: Biden administration approved the project anyway, So in May, Newsom
Speaker 1: sued the Trump administration in a last ditch effort to
Speaker 1: block the Coi Nation's casino.
Speaker 2: What the heck is going.
Speaker 4: On the whole Indian Tribe casino thing. I can't believe
Speaker 4: that still is existing in its current form.
Speaker 2: Forget about it.
Speaker 1: Should Newsom get his way, it would be a major
Speaker 1: win for the Federated Indians of Gratton Rancheria, a major
Speaker 1: California political donor which operates its own gambling compound close
Speaker 1: to the proposed site, which broke ground on a billion
Speaker 1: dollar expansion, a one billion dollar expansion in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: All under the all of this driven by originally the
Speaker 4: idea that well white people lied to the Indians and
Speaker 4: force them off their land. So we're going to help
Speaker 4: them rebuild by letting them have casinos, but then everything
Speaker 4: after that go sideway.
Speaker 2: Absolutely true.
Speaker 1: A somewhat different story, But back to Gavi Newsome, a
Speaker 1: little known California government disclosure database may shed some light
Speaker 1: on why exactly Newsom's so enthusiastic at quashing those evil
Speaker 1: Quite Nation people. In April of twenty four, a few
Speaker 1: months before Newsom sent his letter to the Biden Interior Department,
Speaker 1: the Democratic governor requested Gratton Rancheria contribute half a million
Speaker 1: dollars to his wife's charity, the California Partners Project, and
Speaker 1: they did.
Speaker 4: Wow, he requested, even, hey, that's a full.
Speaker 2: On shakedown there.
Speaker 1: And in April of this year, one month before Newsom
Speaker 1: filed his lawsuit against the Trump administration, he again asked
Speaker 1: Gratton Rancheria to contribute another half million dollars to his
Speaker 1: wife's charity. The tried cut those checks, specifically at Newsom's request,
Speaker 1: According to California's Behested payments database, which discloses whether whenever
Speaker 1: state elected officials request others to make donations on their behalf.
Speaker 1: Now I'm kind of glad that database exists, because I'll
Speaker 1: bet a lot of this stuff went on for a
Speaker 1: long time now. The Free Beacon says that data does
Speaker 1: not show an explicit quid pro quo between Newsome and
Speaker 1: the big Indian crime.
Speaker 4: Well, which is why you can get away with it,
Speaker 4: because you can't prove that that it's It's just a
Speaker 4: coincidence they donated to my wife's charity and not I
Speaker 4: did him a solid because I don't like that other
Speaker 4: Indian tribe.
Speaker 1: Ken Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and
Speaker 1: Civic Trust watchdog group, said any reasonable objective person would
Speaker 1: conclude this looks horrid. Of course, that happens, and it
Speaker 1: is hardly the first time Gavey has taken action to
Speaker 1: benefit donors just after he secured their contributions to charities
Speaker 1: connected to him and his wife.
Speaker 2: According to a Free Beacon review of this.
Speaker 1: Website, uh they get into more of the details on
Speaker 1: that Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, does not take a
Speaker 1: salary from the California Partners Project, but it works closely
Speaker 1: with her government office and serves an integral role in
Speaker 1: her efforts to force gender equity and private corporate boards.
Speaker 1: And remember she is a big time movie producer of
Speaker 1: educational films of woke themes in schools, including DEI and
Speaker 1: gender bending, madness and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: Now, I don't know if she's doing this, but oftentimes
Speaker 4: the whole they don't take a salary. You don't take
Speaker 4: a salary, but you drive a car that the particular
Speaker 4: entity pays four et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And you travel and you eat and drink, etc. Newsom
Speaker 1: has performed other political favors. After behesting contributions from companies
Speaker 1: within with business in a state September of twenty four,
Speaker 1: he'd behest today twenty five thousand dollars contribution from CVS.
Speaker 1: At the same time, the pharmacy giant lobby Newsom's office
Speaker 1: against the bill that would have cracked down on pharmacy
Speaker 1: benefit managed another coincidence.
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy.
Speaker 1: CVS cut its check to the California Protocol Foundation, a
Speaker 1: charity that pays for Newsom's out of state.
Speaker 2: And overseas travel.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's not a bribe at all, paying for his travel,
Speaker 1: that's just a contribution.
Speaker 2: Then Knewsom veto the bill a few weeks later.
Speaker 4: Of course, everybody involved with this would say to someone like,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe you the listener us would.
Speaker 2: Say, grow up, jeez, grow up, you children. How do
Speaker 2: you think this works?
Speaker 1: Newsom is behested nearly six million dollars to the California
Speaker 1: Protocol Foundation from private corporation such as CVS and activist
Speaker 1: groups with business interests in California since he became governor
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and he's put the funds to good use.
Speaker 1: In January of twenty for instance, Protocol Foundation gifted nine
Speaker 1: grand to Newsom so he could represent the state of
Speaker 1: California at the Super Bowl in Miami.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's so much goodness California was represented. How much
Speaker 2: disgusting stuff goes on it's mining? Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what did was Trump's big announcement about Ukraine Today?
Speaker 4: We're starting to figure it out. We've got some of
Speaker 4: his words for you.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: Any review that Vladimir Puttins could not clarify his intention
Speaker 4: to a peace deal?
Speaker 2: And what happens now in the next phase is there
Speaker 2: and we're going.
Speaker 8: To go for a period of time. Maybe you'll start
Speaker 8: to go share and I think we felt. I felt
Speaker 8: I don't know about you, Mark, but I felt that
Speaker 8: we had a deal about four times. And here we
Speaker 8: are still talking about it.
Speaker 4: So that's Donald Trump in the Oval office with the
Speaker 4: guy who runs NATO, uh saying I thought we had
Speaker 4: a deal four times.
Speaker 1: With fool me once, shame on me. You fool me twice,
Speaker 1: shame on me, fool me three times, shame on who?
Speaker 1: How about four times?
Speaker 4: I guess fill me four times? And I finally come
Speaker 4: out and say, I think Putin's a liar, and you
Speaker 4: start doing things like severe tariffs. If no deal in
Speaker 4: fifty days, why fifty days?
Speaker 2: Well? Trump was asked, why.
Speaker 3: Are you giving fifty more days?
Speaker 2: I think the well, I think it's a period of time.
Speaker 2: I think they'll forget.
Speaker 8: I've just really been involved in this and not very long,
Speaker 8: and it wasn't initial focus. This is again, this is
Speaker 8: a Biden war. This is a Democrat who're not a
Speaker 8: Republican or Trump war. This is a war that would
Speaker 8: have never happened.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't have happened. A lot of people being killed.
Speaker 6: When the.
Speaker 8: Final numbers come in, you're going to see a lot
Speaker 8: more people are being killed.
Speaker 2: In this war.
Speaker 8: Than than you think, than you've been writing about.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, because the numbers are horrific
Speaker 4: if you've been paying attention and have been for three years,
Speaker 4: And why you need fifty more days. Last week was
Speaker 4: the worst week in terms of drones and missiles and
Speaker 4: everything for Ukraine in the entire war, And why you'd
Speaker 4: get fifty more days of doing that before you finally
Speaker 4: hit him, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: My guess is because you know, he mentioned I haven't
Speaker 1: been on this deal for very long. It's been six
Speaker 1: months in like a week. My guess is he is
Speaker 1: still clinging to the hope that he can get a
Speaker 1: deal out of Putin. I mean, obviously why. I mean
Speaker 1: because he's four times he thought he had a deal. Allegedly.
Speaker 1: He finally wakes up the other day, says Putin. He's
Speaker 1: surprised a lot of people. He's given us bull ass.
Speaker 1: He talks pretty, but it's bullss. Therefore, if he doesn't
Speaker 1: come around in fifty days, we're gonna hit him with
Speaker 1: some real sanctions.
Speaker 2: I don't get that.
Speaker 4: I don't need either, but I'm happy that they are
Speaker 4: sending weaponry to Ukraine, like Patriot missiles and Trumpe's asked
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 7: Will these be Patriot missiles specifically, or Patriot batteries that
Speaker 7: you're planning, and when you when.
Speaker 8: You're everything Patriots solid, it's a full compliment with the
Speaker 8: batteries when you expect, well, we're going to have some
Speaker 8: come very soon, within days.
Speaker 4: Actually, I think that's pretty significant Patriots lots of them,
Speaker 4: whole battery within.
Speaker 2: Days, So that's pretty helpful.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Maybe that gets Putin's attention.
Speaker 1: I don't know one more clip, if I might request,
Speaker 1: it's seventy eight.
Speaker 6: I speak to them a lot about getting this thing done,
Speaker 6: and I always hang up and say, well, that was
Speaker 6: a nice phone call. And then missiles launched into Kiev
Speaker 6: as some of the city.
Speaker 2: I said, strange.
Speaker 6: And after that happens three or four times, you say
Speaker 6: the talk doesn't mean anything. My conversations with them are
Speaker 6: always very pleasant. I say, is that really lovely conversation?
Speaker 2: And then the missiles go off.
Speaker 6: That night, I go home, I tell a first lady
Speaker 6: and I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.
Speaker 6: She said, oh really, uh another city was just hit.
Speaker 6: So it's like, look he's uh. I don't want to
Speaker 6: say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy. It's
Speaker 6: been proven over the years.
Speaker 8: He's fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 2: He fooled Bush, he fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 6: He fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden.
Speaker 4: He did fool me, true, he did fool all those people.
Speaker 4: I don't know how he fooled them either, but uh wow,
Speaker 4: I'm making my squinty face over that one.
Speaker 1: He didn't fool you except those four times you thought
Speaker 1: you had a deal and you did.
Speaker 4: Or you're explaining to us how Putin's a bad guy,
Speaker 4: Like we don't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know, like everybody knows, it's an odd blind
Speaker 1: spot for a very practical guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going through the possibilities on this earlier, Like,
Speaker 4: how do you explain that Trump is not a dumb
Speaker 4: guy at all? And in certainly, I gotta believe in terms.
Speaker 2: Of reading human beings, he's.
Speaker 4: Got to be like at the very highest level of
Speaker 4: that throughout his life.
Speaker 2: I would agree, Yeah, I think could it be.
Speaker 1: You know, he made the claim I could solve this
Speaker 1: in twenty four hours now he's said, look, clearly that
Speaker 1: was sarcasm, hyperbole, I just meant I could solve it.
Speaker 2: The reality might be you can't solve it at all.
Speaker 1: It's unsolvable, and that I think would be a serious
Speaker 1: blow to his self.
Speaker 2: Conception is ego.
Speaker 4: Do you think that we in Europe can make this
Speaker 4: ugly enough for Russia that they'll quit?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, we'd have to go a long, long way, and
Speaker 1: I think Europe's willing to.
Speaker 2: They're willing to do whatever they have to do. Man, Oh,
Speaker 2: where this is headed? More to come on that story.
Speaker 2: If you weren't listening at the time.
Speaker 1: The lines are frozen more or less the front lines
Speaker 1: because there's so many drones in the air. If anybody
Speaker 1: so much as you know, comes out of their fox
Speaker 1: hole and walks fifty yards, a drone sees them and
Speaker 1: kills them. So it's practically impossible to get an offensive going.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Enough of that, Well, we mentioned last week how Russia
Speaker 4: had taken out one of Ukraine's top spies there on
Speaker 4: the streets at Kiev. I don't know if you saw
Speaker 4: those videos, but guy and T shirt and shorts runs
Speaker 4: up to super spy there in Kiev who's just walking
Speaker 4: down the street in front of his apartment complex. Shoots
Speaker 4: him five times, sticks a gun in his pants, and
Speaker 4: runs off. Well, there was a reaction to that from Ukraine,
Speaker 4: not surprisingly.
Speaker 2: Let me find that for you.
Speaker 4: Pretty good story on how they found owned that dude
Speaker 4: and someone else.
Speaker 2: Where my notes on this. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I gave him a stern talking to, gave him a
Speaker 4: stern talking to, and then that's how it ended.
Speaker 2: I can't find minutes. Sorry.
Speaker 4: Anyway, they found the dude and an accomplice in their
Speaker 4: apartment and said, while being questioned, they resisted and we
Speaker 4: had to kill them. Oh okay, in the midst of
Speaker 4: a war. I imagine you you don't worry too much about the.
Speaker 2: No no indeed, so they found them and killed them
Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: I wanted to tell briefly this story about dropping my
Speaker 4: son off at boy Scouts yesterday. I continue to be
Speaker 4: amazingly impressed by the whole Boy Scouts. I guess it's
Speaker 4: just supposed to be called Scouting America now because girls
Speaker 4: are involved too. Not very many, but there are some
Speaker 4: Scouting call it whatever you want, and maybe they changed
Speaker 4: the name back someday. Hello, I don't know. I'm highly
Speaker 4: impressed by the organization on every level except for their
Speaker 4: paperworking websites, which is partially because they got the Jesus
Speaker 4: suit out of them a couple of years ago, you know,
Speaker 4: that whole scandal and then got lots of lawyers involved.
Speaker 4: And now the amount of paperwork that is involved in
Speaker 4: scouting is insane.
Speaker 2: I mean, you.
Speaker 4: Can't even imagine. It's like buying a house every camp.
Speaker 4: It's just crazy hours and hours. Just last week I
Speaker 4: spent on paperworking websites hours.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: It's something anyway, not their fault, that has nothing to
Speaker 4: do with it. The organization is absolutely fantastic and one
Speaker 4: of the things I didn't know about it that I've
Speaker 4: really come to appreciate is how it's kid led. Parents
Speaker 4: are there, you know, to oversee and if anything came up.
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't just send a bunch of kids
Speaker 4: out into the wilderness on their owns, on their own
Speaker 4: for obvious reasons, but the parents, just the leaders just
Speaker 4: stay back and kids take care of it. And you
Speaker 4: go through the ranks and you climb the ladder of
Speaker 4: authority by proving yourself and end up in positions of.
Speaker 2: Being in charge.
Speaker 4: And the way I've seen some of these fourteen year
Speaker 4: old fifteen year old, sixteen year old kids taking charge
Speaker 4: of these things is so incredibly impressive. I mean it
Speaker 4: would have been impressive years ago, but in this modern
Speaker 4: era where I know twenty five year olds who can't
Speaker 4: do that, I mean, it's really something and just absolutely
Speaker 4: love it. Like we got to the camp and there
Speaker 4: are kids out there with the clipboards and everything like that,
Speaker 4: and you know, hey, who you here with? Okay, well
Speaker 4: you go down there and you park there and you
Speaker 4: drop this off and everything like that. And then I
Speaker 4: get down there and then there was some kid that
Speaker 4: came to our group and he looked like he was
Speaker 4: fourteen years old, and he said, who's the PSO. I
Speaker 4: think that's the INITIALS, which is the patrol Scout Organizer
Speaker 4: or something like that. See, whoever, who's PSO here?
Speaker 2: I am? How many scouts you got? How many adults? Fourteen? Three? Okay?
Speaker 2: You over there? You over there?
Speaker 4: And it's just it's amazing lot these kids behave this
Speaker 4: way and what it reminded me of and we all
Speaker 4: should know. And I'm a victim of this or a victim.
Speaker 4: I'm a perpetrator of this as much as anybody, unfortunately is.
Speaker 4: Kids can grow to the responsibility. They're given in a
Speaker 4: way that we seem to have lost in this country.
Speaker 4: And you know, you give them the opportunity and they
Speaker 4: can grow into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't need them working in a mercury factory
Speaker 1: at age eight, like it's Dikenzie in London. But we've
Speaker 1: gone so far in the other direction, like infantalizing them
Speaker 1: until they're twenty five.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's the it's the polar opposite of the adults
Speaker 4: in charge of every aspect of a lot.
Speaker 2: Of youth sports. For instance, I love it.
Speaker 4: As opposed to you know, when you used to if
Speaker 4: you're old, this happened back in the day. You get
Speaker 4: some of your friends and go have a game and
Speaker 4: your bases were squashed popcans or whatever that you just
Speaker 4: put out. There are random distances and you made up
Speaker 4: the rules as you went, and that sort of thing
Speaker 4: just does not exist anymore. Yeah, and parents warn everything.
Speaker 4: And just to see that all these kids in charge
Speaker 4: like that, it was just it was something to watch.
Speaker 4: And there are four hundred kids there and so many
Speaker 4: cars and unloading stuff and loading them on boats and
Speaker 4: taking them there and getting everything, and it was the
Speaker 4: kids running everything is I was so impressed by it.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so cool. I love hearing that.
Speaker 1: I know, I know not to turn it bitter, but
Speaker 1: I love the idea of the kids proving themselves, earning respect,
Speaker 1: climbing ladder, a true meritocracy as opposed to I don't know,
Speaker 1: some other belief systems, or it's whoever makes the most
Speaker 1: impassioned speech or whoever claims the greatest grievance. They are
Speaker 1: given the floor, they are given the respect.
Speaker 2: Not in my world.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I gotta Watching that yesterday reminded me I
Speaker 4: gotta do better with my kids of you know, allowing
Speaker 4: them to grow into responsibility and everything like that.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: I saw that a lot as a kid working. I
Speaker 4: know it had a big effect on me getting into
Speaker 4: working with adults and being treated like an adult and
Speaker 4: being expected to act like an adult from age fourteen on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I worked with guys who were fifteen years old.
Speaker 4: You couldn't have told them. There was no way to
Speaker 4: tell them from a thirty year old in terms of
Speaker 4: their ability to like just be in charge of things.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Likewise, well, that's a great deal of the media is controversy,
Speaker 1: click bait. There's plenty controversial and there are plenty of
Speaker 1: things to bring to your attention that are kind of
Speaker 1: outragey or controversial, but there's no coverage of what you
Speaker 1: just were describing, of how notable that is and important
Speaker 1: that is. So for all of the sins or whatever.
Speaker 1: Scouting absolutely worth your support. Boys and girls clubs, big
Speaker 1: fan of them. Helping kids develop the tools to get
Speaker 1: themselves good lives. Not put them on the freaking government dole.
Speaker 1: Give them the skill sets they need. You know, those organizations, friends,
Speaker 1: you love America, you love kind of traditional values. Look
Speaker 1: into those organizations and support them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, either financially or the parents. Seeing a lot of
Speaker 4: parents a lot of hours like youth sports and other things,
Speaker 4: a lot a lot of I mean just underappreciated but
Speaker 4: absolutely one hundred percent necessary. Parents putting a lot of
Speaker 4: time in. I did nine hours of driving yesterday, not
Speaker 4: near as much time as a lot of the other people. Anyway,
Speaker 4: we'll finish strong next. Why didn't I buy in video
Speaker 4: stock company that makes the super cool chips for AI,
Speaker 4: which is now a four trillion dollar company. It's blown
Speaker 4: by Apple, Google, Tesla, some of the other biggest stocks
Speaker 4: in the world. And if I'd have got in the
Speaker 4: first time, I said, why didn't I buy in video stock?
Speaker 2: I would have been very very happy.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry an interrupt, but Michael, could you bring a
Speaker 1: towel in here please. I just saw a video of
Speaker 1: a demonstration of the state of the art robot soldier
Speaker 1: and I wet.
Speaker 2: Myself, so I would appreciate the help. Oh Lord, oh Lord.
Speaker 1: Probably using the chips I was just talking about, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: probably so. Honestly, it's funny. I came across the video
Speaker 1: through an article about an editorial that, interestingly enough, was
Speaker 1: in one of the Chinese big newspapers that is approved
Speaker 1: of by the Communist Party, and it was a bunch
Speaker 1: of researchers expressing their concerns about the ethical and legal
Speaker 1: research into robot soldiers, and again the fact that it
Speaker 1: was published in Chinese Communists you know, publications I find
Speaker 1: intriguing and something I'd like to learn more about. But
Speaker 1: an op ed by these three researchers in the People's
Speaker 1: Liberal Liberation Army Daily warned that faulty robots could lead
Speaker 1: to quote, indiscriminate killings and accidental death, which would inevitably
Speaker 1: result in legal charges and moral condemnation and They pointed
Speaker 1: out that these kill bots if you will, violate various
Speaker 1: of Isaac Asimov's three Laws of robotics, the first of
Speaker 1: which is a robot may not injure a human being
Speaker 1: or through an action, allow a human being to come
Speaker 1: to harm.
Speaker 2: Well, those what did you say?
Speaker 4: There are those moral recriminations will really do me a
Speaker 4: lot of good when the robot armies are sweeping across
Speaker 4: the plains.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're really worried about the things just won't stop
Speaker 1: when they ought to stop, and will indiscriminately kill when
Speaker 1: set loose, to rampage across wherever they're set loose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I share your concern, especially after watching that video.
Speaker 7: I'm strong. I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green, I'm strong.
Speaker 4: Post that video or send it to me or something
Speaker 4: I want to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll put it up at Armstrong and geeddy dot
Speaker 1: com under hot links.
Speaker 4: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1: To wrap up the show, there is technical director Michael
Speaker 1: Angelow to lead us off.
Speaker 2: Michael, Yeah, teach your kids responsibility.
Speaker 5: Let him grow the next time there's a thunderstorm and
Speaker 5: there's a hole in the roof and is leaking.
Speaker 2: Have him get a meadow.
Speaker 5: Ladder out of the garage, get up on the roof
Speaker 5: and patch that hole.
Speaker 1: Responsibility, Let you gain confidence up there. That's right, Katie
Speaker 1: Green are esteemed to us woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5: Speaking of responsibility, I have way too much of it today.
Speaker 5: I have like three appointments and I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Go to any of it.
Speaker 2: Adulting so tiring. Jack. Final thought shopping for a cheap
Speaker 2: crappy car.
Speaker 4: Haven't done it many many years, But my my son's
Speaker 4: about to turn driving age, and so it's time to
Speaker 4: get back into the world of shopping for cheap crappy cars.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I haven't done it in such a long time.
Speaker 2: It's kind of its own funny, little niche thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go for a good safe one thought. You know, airbags,
Speaker 2: et cetera. Can you buy a car without air bags?
Speaker 2: I don't know how old would you have to go?
Speaker 1: Probably not? I don't know, model t probably. My final
Speaker 1: thought is, and again we'll post this video. These guys
Speaker 1: who are testing these robots shove it. They beat it
Speaker 1: with heavy sticks. They do everything they can. You can't
Speaker 1: knock it over and it keeps firing accurately.
Speaker 4: It's like the Winter Soldier, like the Bucky the super
Speaker 4: Soldier from the Marvel Lobbies.
Speaker 2: A lot like that. Oh that's frightening.
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1: So many people, thanks, so a little time go to
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2: We will see tomorrow. God bless America. I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 2: That's made in heaven under on the crazy meat. We're
Speaker 2: all better off and we're working together and everyone knows that. Okay,
Speaker 2: so let's go with a bang.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd rather swim in a pool filled with
Speaker 1: the boiling hot, sulfurous urine of Satan and say this phrase.
Speaker 2: That's quite a phrase right there that I notes. Bye bye,
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty
