Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and no
he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
The relentless headlines can seem overwhelming.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
More federal agencies targeted, more court cases filed, more chaos
and confusion.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, listen, I think this is the most serious constitution
crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president
is attempting to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
The president wants to be able to decide how and
where money is spent so that he can reward his
political friends, he can punish his political enemies. That is
(00:54):
the evisceration of democracy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yes, I want you to shut up that center for
Senator Chris Murphy. Right before that was Martha Ratt. It's
opening ABC this week. Relentless headlines are overwhelming, chaos and confusion. Yeah,
you're gonna have some chaos and confusion as you try
to unwind a whole bunch of spending money on crap.
Nobody wants to spend money on You want everything to
just continue the way it is. Where everybody goes to
(01:18):
DC in the media and the government gets incredibly wealthy,
and we taxpayers just keep funding it. Guy suckers. For instance,
this is Representative Mike Wallas on Meet the Press yesterday,
explaining one of the many things we waste money on.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I could tell you I've worked out in the Middle East.
We saw a radio station with a big built by
America USAID.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We go inside and.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
There is literally a black turbaned moa backed by Iran
preaching anti American hate. And yet the USAID officer in
charge told me, as a Green Beret, well, we're just
building radio stations. We're just handing out food. That's our
job to just be humanitarian. No, we need to realign
their mission and line up it up with the president's
(02:01):
foreign policy vision.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, I don't mind Chris Murphy trying to hold
on to whatever hardcore constituency the left still has. I
don't mind Martha Raddits trying to hold on to whatever
rapidly dwindling audience they have by telling.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Them what they want to hear.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But man, there's nobody buying what you're selling outside of
that very small core group. The idea that in the
recent CBS News poll speaking of CBS. Recent CBS News
poll numbers, I should say, have made it clear that
in the vast majority of questions, what Trump and Musk
and Doge are doing are very, very popular, and to
(02:41):
the extent that they're not as popular, it's fine. Will
work through the process and make sure the right thing happens.
They're just they're pitching the sky is falling for the
four hundred and thirteenth time, and people stopped listening, like
seventy four times ago.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
My favorite tweet over the weekend from Trump back to
plastic paper straws don't work.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yes, that is so funny. Got done with around of
golf the other day and we were sitting around sipping
delightful drinks and refreshments, and I said, look at that
plastic straw winning.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You turned to sanity. What a huge easy political win.
Something like back to plastic straws. Paper straws don't work.
I know, God, that's probably a seventy thirty issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, So I got done with my drink, I took
my plastic straw out and I hunted for a long time.
Took me forever to find one, but I found a
sea turtle and just shoved it right into nose.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah. I stabbed it to death with my straw. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And you know why because we hate sea turtles right well,
just anything natural.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I just wanted to die.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Their mere existence makes me angry as a conservative. Yes,
I hate all living things obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Ah, so I love this. Jonathan Turley wrote this.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It appears that the Elon Musk is has cited insighted
the good townsfolk of Washington, DC. Across the Internet, politicians
and pundits are in a monstrous mood, the same people
who spent last year declaring the imminent death of democracy
if Donald Trump were elected, or now insisting that the
real threat is the monster he is unleashed upon the
federal bureaucracy. For Washingtonian's Musk is the boogey man they
(04:20):
have long described to their children around campfires at night,
an outsider who comes to town and lays waste to government,
waste firing thousands of slashing budgets, part Frankenstein, part Bigfoot.
That creature never had a name, but would be beholding
to no one.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And uninterested in the status quo. That monster now has
a name, and it is Elon Musk. As I've been saying,
It's the only name that surpassed Trump in the recent
years that I hear more often. Now if you flip
on NPR, CBS or whatever, you're gonna hear Elon's name
automatically because he is the monster.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And Turily refers to Chuck, Oh my gully, you want
to talk about an act that is worn out? I
mean this, Chuck Schumer makes Reo speedwagon at your local
county fair look like today's hit makers. Okay, Chuck Schumer
needs to go away. But anyway, Turtley describes how he
is bellowing dramatically to a crowd this week at some
(05:20):
outdoor rally that Musk's government efficiency efforts are taking away
everything that we have oi they So, anyway, what are
the dog guys actually up to? You heard the USA,
the aid stuff and a couple other things. They're now
digging into how to take a part, dismantle and end
the Department of Education and if there are any core
(05:43):
duties who could do those more efficiently, which I think
is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Bill Maher said on his HBO show Friday Night, the
Department of Education should go away. Started in nineteen seventy seven,
test scores have only gone down and Bill Maher, the
Liberals said, it seems to me all they do is
collect money. I don't understand how they're benefiting us in
any way. Uh yeah, Actually, we've got some of those clips.
Maybe we'll play them in a little bit. So and
(06:09):
so the what is this?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The Wall Street Journal goes through some of the things
they've done already and says, this is a mere fraction
of the two trillion dollars in spending cuts that Elon
set as a goal, of course, but shows how the
entity has begun going program by program across multiple federal agencies,
pairing back what it considers low hanging fruit. But soon
they're going to take on the General Service General Services Administration,
(06:31):
which manages government buildings and commercial real estate zillions of
dollars worth. And they've found all sorts of cuts to
make there. They've cut out a billion dollars worth of
DEI neo Marxist garbage. They've terminated about thirty million dollars
for contracts for digital modernization projects, and at least four
million in leases for little used office space. Now and
(06:55):
I actually, I trust Elon must to be smart about this.
I hope it's not misplaced. There are areas of the
federal government that are technologically living in nineteen eighty one
and really do need to be updated, so I hope
they don't overcut that. But then they also mentioned in
a subsequent article that DOGE at least some of the
(07:16):
DOGE guys are now looking through the Medicare agency the
payment systems for fraud.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And if you're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Medicare at all, and you know, I could have brought
reams of this stuff to you over the last couple
of years, but it's really really dry. But the amount
of fraudulent billing done by insurance companies and hospital companies
and medical organizations and stuff to Medicare is mind boggling.
(07:44):
If it wasn't our money, it would be hilarious that
any agency would be that apathetic about rooting out crime
and ripoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
But number one, it's you and me foot in the bill.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
In number two, you know, half of its deficit spending,
so our kids are going to be foot that bill.
But yeah, they are horrifically, almost mind bogglingly incompetent at
rooting out fraud and waste and just out and out thievery.
So now they're turning their attention. There they're going after,
you know, bigger fish.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Good for them. Elon is tweeting today about the amount
of DEI that got into education as this. As we mentioned,
he's turning his eye toward the Department of Education this week.
How people really don't comprehend the implications of all of this,
all the DEI being injected into schooling, All of the
federal contracting and grant funding has been infected with DEI
(08:37):
in both blatant and insidious ways, from the programs themselves
to the terms of awards to the scoring of proposals.
Top to bottom. It's everywhere, with hundreds of billions of
dollars impacted. And as Elon said, those are just the
explicit DEI grants found. Vastly worse is that every education
and research grant in the last four years has required
(09:00):
DEI in one form or another. Correct.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yep, all federal grants for science. Can I translate that
for you. If I'm in charge of say one hundred
billion dollars in grants and it's meritocratic, I have no
control of who.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Gets that money.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
If it's DEI governed, I have all the control of
who gets that money. I will identify who gets the
federal large s and then perhaps I know this is crazy,
perhaps they will make my life a lot better, whether
now or down the road.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
God. I had a friend I talked about this a
little years ago. I had a friend who was working
for a big organization in getting their grants. That was
his job. He was the guy who did the dollars
and cents and applied, and he didn't know it until
he got the job, but he explained all the different
parts of how it's all politics. I mean, it's entirely
(09:54):
getting stuff that sounds good to the people who are
in charge of the perse strings at the time, and
it's you accomplish anything or not. It's just you know,
you'd you'd get to it. We got another two million
dollars for our blah blah blah project, everybody'd be like, yes,
we can get to keep the doors open for another
three months, and everybody gets their salaries where they don't.
You don't have to actually accomplish anything. It's just a
(10:15):
never ending how do you get your next grant? And
in the world of DEI, you just got to play
toward that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Then you combine that with what we were talking about
last week, where in many cases the usaid money only
ten percent got to where the rubber met the road.
The rest was spent by the bureaucrats on salaries and
perks and travel and lining pockets in whatever foreign land
the money was going. It's an enormous scam, and there
(10:44):
are some good things accomplished by it, and some noble goals.
But if you can't accomplish your stated goals, you know,
to within a certain standard of efficiency, you aren't the
people to accomplish that goal.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We will find somebody better.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And if you have a situation where hundreds of millions
of dollars are being filtered through a system that not
only it reminds me of Gavin Newsom spending on the
so called homeless in California, not only does nobody know
what standard of efficiency you're living up to, Nobody even
bothers to ask, there's no system to measure it. How
(11:21):
nightmarishly ridiculous is that, fellow taxpayers? Makes you I want
to slap yourself in the forehead. And then as somebody's
trying to straighten it out, Chuck Schumer says, that's taking
away everything that is did to us.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Hey Elon tweets out a lot of interesting stuff if
you don't follow his account, but this was one.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Not as interesting as Kanye, but pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So this is a tweet of a response to an
article in The Daily Beast. If you'll follow me, Congresswoman
Nancy Mace, Republican South Carolina, claimed she uncovered, in scare quotes,
a ten million dollar federal program for quote making animals
trans and the person that commented on this story said,
these people are just so full of s. Elon attached
(12:07):
an article from NBC that said taxpayers have footed a
bill for roughly ten million dollars in transgender animal experiments
in recent years, according to a selection of grants compiled
by this waste project by the Washington Examiner. So yes,
they were experimenting with trans animals some or other.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, well I'm relying. I'm reminded rather of what
the great James Lindsay taught us. Marxists just lie, They
lie so overtly and blatantly that people begin to question
their own perception.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Well, the point was Elon's point was this, which I
think is really interesting. One reason conservatives have had such
a difficult uphill battle all along is It's hard for
people to believe how insane a lot of this stuff
is because when you hear it, and if somebody says
that's not true, it's Nancy Mayce just being nuts, you
can understand why you think. I'm sure she's exaggerated. We
(13:00):
weren't spending millions of dollars on trans studies for animals
injecting with hormones to see how it blah blah blah,
were two nuts. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, and if somebody told me a few years ago,
even yeah, USA, they don't even have systems to measure effectiveness.
Nobody even asks that question. I think, now, come on,
surely they do, at least on someone.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Nope, there's lots of examples of that. We got a
little more, some interesting stuff about the Super Bowl you
may or may not have noticed, and other things on
the waistay here strong broad struct so listen closely. Is
this cheers or booze here.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Through the pad?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Was fine? Actually, they show Trump up on the screen
for the first time during the national anthem. Sure seemed
like more cheers and booze to me when I saw
it live.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It was unambiguously one hundred percent way more cheers, having
listened to it again, I have the same opinion, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's not the way it was for Chiefs or Eagles
when they came out. That was clearly booze for the
Chiefs and clearly cheers for the Eagles. I wasn't even close,
so I missed. I've read about it several times, somehow
didn't catch it. Taylor Swift got booed the first time
she was on the screen. Was she actually booed? That's
been quite the controversy. Yes, Katie, Oh, she was booed,
(14:35):
and she did the jaw open. Can't believe this is
happening my face, I'll bet for a number of reasons.
First of all, I'm sure she's never been booed really
in her life. And also, why are you booing me?
I mean, what don't you like about what she's associated with?
The evil Chiefs? Jack? Come on, and she endorsed Kamala,
(14:57):
So right, so that's why, yeah, boo. So that's why
Trump tweeted out last night he had to troll her
about Taylor being booed and how she made a bad
decision in supporting Colas.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
In Taylor Swift's defense, she makes that same face whether
she is cheered or booed, or winning a Grammy, or
drops a little toothpaste in the sink and realize she'll
have to clean it up. Ah, with the mouth wide open. Everything,
it's just.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Nuts, or go to Nobody needs to feel sorry for
Taylor Swift. She's a billionaire and everything else, but she's
got rf resting amazed face. But she had to at
some point yesterday think I'm a pop star and I
just got booed. What football game? But you did wade
into politics, and a lot of these celebrities, for some reason,
(15:45):
don't seem to think that it's not never ending adulation
for your support of the liberals. A lot of us
don't dig that. When you come out on the stage
and start talking about your pro choice this or anti
war that or whatever, a lot of us really freaking hated.
And we go to your concert anyway or your movie
just because we want to see the concert of the movie.
But we're not all digging it. All your friends are
(16:06):
talking about how brave you are for coming out and
supporting this or that. Well, we don't all like it.
So you got booed.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well, yeah, we'll go to your shows unless you just
are so obnoxious about it for so long, we can't
stand it anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Bruce. There are endless stats that point out what a
drubbing it was of the Kansas City Chiefs White Eagles
last night. And I think it's all about the offensive line.
I mean, they just think Patrick Mallens didn't have a chance.
But it was what is a game sixty minutes long?
It was at the forty two minute mark the Chiefs
(16:40):
crossed midfield for the first time in the game. Oh
the mark they got past the fifty yard line. That's
an early season, mismatched game. It had that feel. It's
not a game you want to watch. No, No, it's
rough on the and right before half they had a
player before half, but like with a minute before half,
(17:02):
they had fourteen total offensive yards the Chiefs in the
and a half. That is brutus, Armstrong and getdy.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Those families of the three hostages released now describing how
the men endured horrific conditions. Ohad ben Ami, Elisha Rabi
and or Levy looking frail and gaunt as they were
handed over from Harmas to the Red Cross in Gaza
now or Levi's brother. He said they were subjected to
physical and psychological abuse, adding that he doesn't think the
(17:33):
remaining hostages will actually survive the conditions any longer. Now
there are still six Americans held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
There's so much going on domestically, and it's getting so
much coverage because the mainstream media is so in love
with government. Any attempt to cut it is the only
thing that matters in the world. But this Trump is
their catnip. But this whole cease fire thing with Hamas
is crazy. I understand Israel wants to get the hostages back,
(18:08):
and it is their religious law and their history to
go above and beyond. I mean, they'll give hundreds of
horrible criminals who have murdered Jews back to get one
Israeli citizen. That's their history. So they're putting up with this.
But the idea that there's any sort of agreement on
(18:35):
both sides to like tone down hostilities or anything like
that is obviously ridiculous. These people are coming out tortured
and thin and with all kinds of health problems, and
they'll never be the same heart problems for the way
they've been treated. As you just heard. There, a lot
of the hostages are left. The hostages that are coming
(18:57):
out are saying they're not going to survive. And then,
if you haven't watched any of these turning over ceremonies,
Hamas mentally tortures them as they hand them over. Yeah,
humiliates them at the very very least. Yeah, Making the
hostages on Saturday they released obviously at gunpoint. If not,
(19:21):
you know, if not, well, literally even without the gunpoint
at him, you're literally at gunpoint until you're in the
hands of the Israelis. They could, they could do anything
to you, making them fank they're captors. What sort of
s is that?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, it's just bizarre because nobody buys it. It's not
changed any minds in Israel. The whole thing's obscene. Well,
that's that's what I'm getting getting at.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I guess. I mean, I'm gonna give you back to
the Israelis because we're getting back a whole bunch of
hundreds of prisoners, including eighteen on Saturday, that had life
sentences because they were that bad Palestinians that the Israelis
let go. You're going to give back these hostages who
you've tortured. Yeah, Before I turn you over, I want
you to look me in the nine. Thank me. That's
some depraved crap right there, right right, and we have
(20:11):
this impraved I'm sorry, the almost immediate call for a
quote unquote ceasefire on October the ninth. You know it's
just not only idiotic, but just morally bankrupt. Uugh, let
me do this before I get to the breaking news.
Obviously it's not to breaking that I got to get
to it right away, but I'll just read the dispatch
report on this. Israel on Saturday welcome home three male
(20:33):
hostages from terrorist captivity after four hundred and ninety one days.
That's a year and a half, ladies and gentlemen. Health
officials said. The men, who all were underweight upon their release,
release now suffer from health conditions including malnutrition and heart disorders.
Also on Saturday, Israel free to one hundred and eighty
three Palestinian prisoners, eighteen of whom had been serving life
(20:53):
sentences because what they did was so horrible. Part of
the first phase of a three part ceasefire d between
Israel and Hamas and goes through the number of hostages
and prisoners and blah blah, blah blah. On Sunday, Israeli
troops withdrew from another one of the corridors. It's part
of their agreement to get out of Gaza and leave
them alone. Meanwhile, the Trump administration notified Congress on Friday
(21:18):
that it hit approved the sale of more than seven
billion dollars in weapons to Israel, including three thousand hell
fire missiles and other munitions. So I think it's what
you said earlier. Trump's completely on board with BBE on
this whole. Do you got to do to get as
many living hostages back or the bodies of the dead ones.
I'm giving you all this stuff. As soon as it's over,
(21:39):
you freaking lay waste to those people. Yeah, which I
think is well.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, they accepted a set back of a few weeks,
few months, who knows, to get as many people back.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
But then it'll be on with a vengeance, as it
should be. But the breaking news is Hamas says it's
postponing the next hostage release, alleging Israel has broken terms
of the agreement. Of course, and somehow and a lot
of quarters Netnyahu will be blamed for this. Yeah, they're animals,
(22:12):
these Hamas people. They should be eliminated from a living
from planet Earth. Every single last one of them.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And they've stated openly if a million Palestinians have to
die to boot the Jews out, that that's fine with us.
You're gonna have a cease fire. But somebody who says
that and then do what kamala Joe college kids, Well,
there's the settler colonialists. Okay, God, please go to class
(22:39):
and be quiet.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's rough man, that that whole screaming at them, pointing
guns at them as they move the hostages from the
hands of Hamas to Israel. I mean, that's just wow.
They're not even making the slight effort.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
No, well, and I think it's worth noting that how
many American hostages did you say there still are?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And then how little attention has been paid to that
in the US.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
What's become of us as our country our countrymen are
being held by monsters is because the mainstream media and
the college kids tell us they're on the wrong side
because they're Jews, and you can't recognize that for what
it is.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, that's a very good point anyway, just wanted to
get that on because of the breaking news that Hamas
has said they're pausing the next phase.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well, speaking of negativity, on a much lighter note if
I might, you know, Michael, we need transition music. Do
you have anything handy?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Little uh? I tell you what I need? An enema
well or something I hate, So Michael, grab the kit,
which you can get on at Armstrong and Geddy dot
com with our logo on it. Gian of a kid. Wow.
I hate so much of Michael's cheese dip yesterday. I
(24:07):
mean like a lock wow wow. So speaking of negativity,
and I guess I've lost my touch. I can't believe
we didn't go there. We counted down the top ten.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Super Bowl lads last night, and of course number one
the little Clydesdal rolling the cag across the untry side
because little horse is the top priority is timely beard delivering.
Let at that kid, little horse go. I mean, oh, America,
I know it's a cute little horse, all right, but
that doesn't make it the best.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Add Oh, come on, have more, oh my god, discretion
or something than that. So oh, hush in ping.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You want to invade the US, have a cute little
horse lead the way America. Oh, it's way to being conquered.
The hell they could have that little horse committed murder
and it would be the number one Super Bowl lad.
We did switch over to the Puppy Bowl for a
while when the game was so boring.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
How was the Puppy Ball close shooter? The heck so
dang cute? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Now the flop Ears now lead the Ears up in
the air team by four boys.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh, there are endless dog puns around football and everything
like that are so good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Uh so we didn't touch on the least popular ads
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's usually like a PSA for prostate cancer or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Now that actually finished very nicely. Interestingly enough, we commented
on it early earlier. Fifth from the bottom was open
AI's black dots, swirling them around making pictures that turned
out to be AI.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So we mentioned last week that there were going to
be a lot of AI commercials now as we're really
looking forward to it because I'm really into the whole
AI thing and what it's going to do to society
and all that. I didn't understand any of the ads.
I didn't know what they were telling me or asking
me to do or projecting. I couldn't tell what they were.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Maybe they're just statements that we have eight million dollars
to squander. Look how big we are. I mean one
of them. I don't know if you saw the one
with the the kid saying someday AI will take over
all this. And then there's a flashback when dad said
the same thing about the computer and people were still
writing checks and stuff like that, and I thought, okay,
so this is an ad just to say, ais a
(26:21):
thing and it'll be big.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Okay, So what do you want me to do at
this point? You want me to I don't know, just
remember it. Tuck it away.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fourth from the bottom, some white guy in a blue
T shirt yelling about you got circle whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Nobody cares moving along. Yeah, that's funny. I didn't. I
was trying to grasp what the product was. Didn't get it.
Now my son says, it's some sort of flavored water
or something.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, oh that's right, yeah, everybody, or or a filtered
something or other, big dumb cup.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I don't know. I don't care. I got running water
at my house.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
As it turns out, it's a great convenient A third
from the bottom, the incredibly off putting coffee Mate foam Diva,
the guy who sprays coffee mate foam into his mouth
that his tongue dances around and gets disembodied.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I just remembered because it popped into my head. The
most off putting ad. And I don't know if you're
about to mention it or not.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The ad think so because the the last two and
I'll let me hit him real quick. Uh, fetch the
big reward. It was some dumb contest. And then to
be with a fifteen second ad the Z Suite that
was like TikTok videos of gen Z declaring that they
got the job.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But I watched, I said, what was an AD for?
What's two?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
What is to be?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's like webs It's like it's like Hulu. I guess
I'm an old man. I don't even understand what the
ad streaming service it's used to be for cars and
beer melody? Was there a card yesterday? Was there a single?
Yeah out Kevin Cosner?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'm sorry, Harrison Ford in a G bad I missed
reference to his surname.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I missed that. But they used to be endless car ads.
I mean that would be the new Chevy, this, the
new Ford, that, the new Mercedes this. Yeah. Wonder why
all the car companies have decided to that that's not
money well spent. I don't know comes and goes. The
most disturbing ads to me were, and I don't even
remember what the ads were for the poor guy whose
(28:30):
head was shaped like a cowboy hat with all that flopping,
weird skin.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
What the freak was that? And he finally fit in
when he went to a cowboy talon or something.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You're dude, you're your You're like your ears are shaped,
all that skin shaped like a cowboy hat. Nice deformity,
nice birth defects something or other, just off putting in
a weird I'm trying to find it in the ad
meter the first ad time, because they had multiple versions
of the ad, and the first one I thought saw.
(29:02):
I didn't get the ad, but I thought he was
wearing a couboy hat. It was the second one where
the song mentions his weirdly shaped skin hat and I
want to run away in horror. You Oh. One that
was super popular.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
At the gathering I was at that was number eighteen
in the admeter rankings was the uh coarse light, slow
Monday with the sloths.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, we're inhabiting the man. There were lols all over
the place for that one. I thought that id was
damn funny.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, we liked America lacked a little horse better Jack
the kid little horse did I mention tell you he
saw the keg fall off the truck and roll the
keg all the way across the land nap, because people
have little horses and kegs.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The fact that that's the number one commercial people like
that the most makes me want to check out of
the entertainment business. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well, luckily mass appeal is not really the idea of
our sort of media god.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Trying to freely Yeah, that was weird off putting. How
little could the horse have done for it to be
your favorite ad? Could have just stood there well, and.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
The horse looked it was a waggon with like fifty kegs.
If they run short of one, they'll just come back
to the bar and get another one and deliver it
to Joe's bar and then the drunks can continue drinking.
I wouldn't I wouldn't go to all that trouble, little horse.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
So the degenerates in the CD bar their next keg.
Your fleshy the fleshy cowboy hat was a two b
ad see what's tooby?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, it's a streaming sass it's like, yeah, one of
the million drinking slicks, but one at the headlines. Well
in that Netflix is a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yes, it's like Hulu or all those other ones, Paramount plus.
Do I need it? It's the only one I don't have.
But what's with the fleshy cowboy? That's what they called it,
a cowboy and fleshy hat. Yes, it was the song
where they said the cowboy and his fleshy hat, and
I thought, oh, that's his skin. I didn't realize. I
thought it was just like cowboy had the same color
as his head.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's had Frankenstein ad. That was hard to look at, jackasses.
Cowboy and his fleshy hat.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The word fleshy you it's like a giant ear lobe.
Did you like to wear that one? Ranked?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Katie?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh no, I don't see it in the ranking. Was
I was just trying to figure out where that hard
to say it came from? Any comments on anything? Yes, Michael,
I like the little horse. If he had dance, I
would have lost it. Anything you liked from the whole
thing yesterday, whether it was Trump, the ads to play anything,
text line four one five to KFTC. You call us
(31:42):
the party called the sack Party Bush. Here's our metaphor
for an invitation, is that our least floor party quarterly
to the end of a secon. This is incredible. Snus meat,
(32:05):
smoker cuts grass most of my I wanted to get
you more smokes meat. No, my smoker cuts grass. Shane
Gillis is a funny guy, but like commercial of course
promoting uh boozing, all the other hands promote gluttony. At
(32:26):
least they weren't promoting near as much sex. Oh, how
about the boo bad that ended up being for breast cancer.
My son actually said, should I be watching this? He'll
be fine? Son? Yeah, yeah, it was. It was fine.
The Dispatch mentioned one of the weirder ads I'd forgotten about,
with Seal the singer as an actual Seal singing kiss
(32:49):
from a Rose with hilarious lyrics. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Washington Post gave that their most Disturbing Visual award. I
wouldn't think the deformed cowboy hat guy, but no, that
this skin cowboy hat is the most disturbing visual.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, without a doubt. What did you come across on that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Somebody wrote whose idea was this? Explain yourself?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I agree? What do you mean, his hat's gonna be
skin Yeah, it'll be great. No, you're disturbing to me.
And I haven't even seen it yet. I I was
so disappointed in the game. I was really expecting a
really close game and like really enjoying it. I like
(33:36):
close football games. It's really fun to watch. And I
don't mind as much that the Eagles won. I just
it was just no fun. I mean there was no
enjoyment after like the first minute of the game practically.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
So.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I was at a gathering and it was standing
around and hobnobbing with people and chatting and stuff like that,
which I'm not a huge fan of anyway, lovely folks
and all was great. Yeah, as a football fan, I
go to watch the championship football game.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well, you're lucky to be at a social gathering in
this case, because Henry and I were there thinking, you know,
we're two football fans, are going to sit here and
watch us as like a game. And that was not
enjoyable at all.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
No, No, it was one of those I wonder how
bad it can get. That was the only level of
interest as a football game.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
How did they score two shot points? I missed? I
didn't watch the second half, I checked in now and
then see kind of your standard.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They really opened up the offense and the Eagles were
giving ground slowly, so the Chiefs couldn't score quickly, but
you knew they were going to score and mop up
time typical.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It wasn't as close as the score indicates, as they
say in the football business. Ah right, So that takes
care of that.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Now we're into the no exciting sports ghetto unless you're
a big hockey fan or something for a while.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, So we do four hours of this every single day.
If you miss an hour or a chunk, Like we
went through the top ads for an instance, as rated
by Admeter. If you want to hear that Finder podcast,
Armstrong and Getty on demand. New Jersey cancels another windmill project.
Why because they're stupid? An hour flour if you get it.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and no
he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
The relentless headlines can seem overwhelming.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
More federal agencies targeted, more court cases filed, more chaos
and confusion.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, listen, I think this is the most serious constitution
crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president
is attempting to seize control of power and for corrupt purposes.
The president wants to be able to decide how and
where money is spent so that he can reward his
political friends, he can punish his political enemies. That is
(00:54):
the evisceration of democracy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yes, I want you to shut up that center for
Senator Chris Murphy. Right before that was Martha Ratt. It's
opening ABC this week. Relentless headlines are overwhelming, chaos and confusion. Yeah,
you're gonna have some chaos and confusion as you try
to unwind a whole bunch of spending money on crap.
Nobody wants to spend money on You want everything to
just continue the way it is. Where everybody goes to
(01:18):
DC in the media and the government gets incredibly wealthy,
and we taxpayers just keep funding it. Guy suckers. For instance,
this is Representative Mike Wallas on Meet the Press yesterday,
explaining one of the many things we waste money on.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I could tell you I've worked out in the Middle East.
We saw a radio station with a big built by
America USAID.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We go inside and.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
There is literally a black turbaned moa backed by Iran
preaching anti American hate. And yet the USAID officer in
charge told me, as a Green Beret, well, we're just
building radio stations. We're just handing out food. That's our
job to just be humanitarian. No, we need to realign
their mission and line up it up with the president's
(02:01):
foreign policy vision.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, I don't mind Chris Murphy trying to hold
on to whatever hardcore constituency the left still has. I
don't mind Martha Raddits trying to hold on to whatever
rapidly dwindling audience they have by telling.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Them what they want to hear.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But man, there's nobody buying what you're selling outside of
that very small core group. The idea that in the
recent CBS News poll speaking of CBS. Recent CBS News
poll numbers, I should say, have made it clear that
in the vast majority of questions, what Trump and Musk
and Doge are doing are very, very popular, and to
(02:41):
the extent that they're not as popular, it's fine. Will
work through the process and make sure the right thing happens.
They're just they're pitching the sky is falling for the
four hundred and thirteenth time, and people stopped listening, like
seventy four times ago.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
My favorite tweet over the weekend from Trump back to
plastic paper straws don't work.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yes, that is so funny. Got done with around of
golf the other day and we were sitting around sipping
delightful drinks and refreshments, and I said, look at that
plastic straw winning.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You turned to sanity. What a huge easy political win.
Something like back to plastic straws. Paper straws don't work.
I know, God, that's probably a seventy thirty issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, So I got done with my drink, I took
my plastic straw out and I hunted for a long time.
Took me forever to find one, but I found a
sea turtle and just shoved it right into nose.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah. I stabbed it to death with my straw. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And you know why because we hate sea turtles right well,
just anything natural.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I just wanted to die.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Their mere existence makes me angry as a conservative. Yes,
I hate all living things obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Ah, so I love this. Jonathan Turley wrote this.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It appears that the Elon Musk is has cited insighted
the good townsfolk of Washington, DC. Across the Internet, politicians
and pundits are in a monstrous mood, the same people
who spent last year declaring the imminent death of democracy
if Donald Trump were elected, or now insisting that the
real threat is the monster he is unleashed upon the
federal bureaucracy. For Washingtonian's Musk is the boogey man they
(04:20):
have long described to their children around campfires at night,
an outsider who comes to town and lays waste to government,
waste firing thousands of slashing budgets, part Frankenstein, part Bigfoot.
That creature never had a name, but would be beholding
to no one.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And uninterested in the status quo. That monster now has
a name, and it is Elon Musk. As I've been saying,
It's the only name that surpassed Trump in the recent
years that I hear more often. Now if you flip
on NPR, CBS or whatever, you're gonna hear Elon's name
automatically because he is the monster.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And Turily refers to Chuck, Oh my gully, you want
to talk about an act that is worn out? I
mean this, Chuck Schumer makes Reo speedwagon at your local
county fair look like today's hit makers. Okay, Chuck Schumer
needs to go away. But anyway, Turtley describes how he
is bellowing dramatically to a crowd this week at some
(05:20):
outdoor rally that Musk's government efficiency efforts are taking away
everything that we have oi they So, anyway, what are
the dog guys actually up to? You heard the USA,
the aid stuff and a couple other things. They're now
digging into how to take a part, dismantle and end
the Department of Education and if there are any core
(05:43):
duties who could do those more efficiently, which I think
is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Bill Maher said on his HBO show Friday Night, the
Department of Education should go away. Started in nineteen seventy seven,
test scores have only gone down and Bill Maher, the
Liberals said, it seems to me all they do is
collect money. I don't understand how they're benefiting us in
any way. Uh yeah, Actually, we've got some of those clips.
Maybe we'll play them in a little bit. So and
(06:09):
so the what is this?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The Wall Street Journal goes through some of the things
they've done already and says, this is a mere fraction
of the two trillion dollars in spending cuts that Elon
set as a goal, of course, but shows how the
entity has begun going program by program across multiple federal agencies,
pairing back what it considers low hanging fruit. But soon
they're going to take on the General Service General Services Administration,
(06:31):
which manages government buildings and commercial real estate zillions of
dollars worth. And they've found all sorts of cuts to
make there. They've cut out a billion dollars worth of
DEI neo Marxist garbage. They've terminated about thirty million dollars
for contracts for digital modernization projects, and at least four
million in leases for little used office space. Now and
(06:55):
I actually, I trust Elon must to be smart about this.
I hope it's not misplaced. There are areas of the
federal government that are technologically living in nineteen eighty one
and really do need to be updated, so I hope
they don't overcut that. But then they also mentioned in
a subsequent article that DOGE at least some of the
(07:16):
DOGE guys are now looking through the Medicare agency the
payment systems for fraud.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And if you're familiar with.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Medicare at all, and you know, I could have brought
reams of this stuff to you over the last couple
of years, but it's really really dry. But the amount
of fraudulent billing done by insurance companies and hospital companies
and medical organizations and stuff to Medicare is mind boggling.
(07:44):
If it wasn't our money, it would be hilarious that
any agency would be that apathetic about rooting out crime
and ripoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
But number one, it's you and me foot in the bill.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
In number two, you know, half of its deficit spending,
so our kids are going to be foot that bill.
But yeah, they are horrifically, almost mind bogglingly incompetent at
rooting out fraud and waste and just out and out thievery.
So now they're turning their attention. There they're going after,
you know, bigger fish.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Good for them. Elon is tweeting today about the amount
of DEI that got into education as this. As we mentioned,
he's turning his eye toward the Department of Education this week.
How people really don't comprehend the implications of all of this,
all the DEI being injected into schooling, All of the
federal contracting and grant funding has been infected with DEI
(08:37):
in both blatant and insidious ways, from the programs themselves
to the terms of awards to the scoring of proposals.
Top to bottom. It's everywhere, with hundreds of billions of
dollars impacted. And as Elon said, those are just the
explicit DEI grants found. Vastly worse is that every education
and research grant in the last four years has required
(09:00):
DEI in one form or another. Correct.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yep, all federal grants for science. Can I translate that
for you. If I'm in charge of say one hundred
billion dollars in grants and it's meritocratic, I have no
control of who.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Gets that money.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
If it's DEI governed, I have all the control of
who gets that money. I will identify who gets the
federal large s and then perhaps I know this is crazy,
perhaps they will make my life a lot better, whether
now or down the road.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
God. I had a friend I talked about this a
little years ago. I had a friend who was working
for a big organization in getting their grants. That was
his job. He was the guy who did the dollars
and cents and applied, and he didn't know it until
he got the job, but he explained all the different
parts of how it's all politics. I mean, it's entirely
(09:54):
getting stuff that sounds good to the people who are
in charge of the perse strings at the time, and
it's you accomplish anything or not. It's just you know,
you'd you'd get to it. We got another two million
dollars for our blah blah blah project, everybody'd be like, yes,
we can get to keep the doors open for another
three months, and everybody gets their salaries where they don't.
You don't have to actually accomplish anything. It's just a
(10:15):
never ending how do you get your next grant? And
in the world of DEI, you just got to play
toward that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Then you combine that with what we were talking about
last week, where in many cases the usaid money only
ten percent got to where the rubber met the road.
The rest was spent by the bureaucrats on salaries and
perks and travel and lining pockets in whatever foreign land
the money was going. It's an enormous scam, and there
(10:44):
are some good things accomplished by it, and some noble goals.
But if you can't accomplish your stated goals, you know,
to within a certain standard of efficiency, you aren't the
people to accomplish that goal.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We will find somebody better.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And if you have a situation where hundreds of millions
of dollars are being filtered through a system that not
only it reminds me of Gavin Newsom spending on the
so called homeless in California, not only does nobody know
what standard of efficiency you're living up to, Nobody even
bothers to ask, there's no system to measure it. How
(11:21):
nightmarishly ridiculous is that, fellow taxpayers? Makes you I want
to slap yourself in the forehead. And then as somebody's
trying to straighten it out, Chuck Schumer says, that's taking
away everything that is did to us.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Hey Elon tweets out a lot of interesting stuff if
you don't follow his account, but this was one.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Not as interesting as Kanye, but pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So this is a tweet of a response to an
article in The Daily Beast. If you'll follow me, Congresswoman
Nancy Mace, Republican South Carolina, claimed she uncovered, in scare quotes,
a ten million dollar federal program for quote making animals
trans and the person that commented on this story said,
these people are just so full of s. Elon attached
(12:07):
an article from NBC that said taxpayers have footed a
bill for roughly ten million dollars in transgender animal experiments
in recent years, according to a selection of grants compiled
by this waste project by the Washington Examiner. So yes,
they were experimenting with trans animals some or other.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, yeah, well I'm relying. I'm reminded rather of what
the great James Lindsay taught us. Marxists just lie, They
lie so overtly and blatantly that people begin to question
their own perception.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Well, the point was Elon's point was this, which I
think is really interesting. One reason conservatives have had such
a difficult uphill battle all along is It's hard for
people to believe how insane a lot of this stuff
is because when you hear it, and if somebody says
that's not true, it's Nancy Mayce just being nuts, you
can understand why you think. I'm sure she's exaggerated. We
(13:00):
weren't spending millions of dollars on trans studies for animals
injecting with hormones to see how it blah blah blah,
were two nuts. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Well, and if somebody told me a few years ago,
even yeah, USA, they don't even have systems to measure effectiveness.
Nobody even asks that question. I think, now, come on,
surely they do, at least on someone.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Nope, there's lots of examples of that. We got a
little more, some interesting stuff about the Super Bowl you
may or may not have noticed, and other things on
the waistay here strong broad struct so listen closely. Is
this cheers or booze here.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Through the pad?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Was fine? Actually, they show Trump up on the screen
for the first time during the national anthem. Sure seemed
like more cheers and booze to me when I saw
it live.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
It was unambiguously one hundred percent way more cheers, having
listened to it again, I have the same opinion, not
even close.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's not the way it was for Chiefs or Eagles
when they came out. That was clearly booze for the
Chiefs and clearly cheers for the Eagles. I wasn't even close,
so I missed. I've read about it several times, somehow
didn't catch it. Taylor Swift got booed the first time
she was on the screen. Was she actually booed? That's
been quite the controversy. Yes, Katie, Oh, she was booed,
(14:35):
and she did the jaw open. Can't believe this is
happening my face, I'll bet for a number of reasons.
First of all, I'm sure she's never been booed really
in her life. And also, why are you booing me?
I mean, what don't you like about what she's associated with?
The evil Chiefs? Jack? Come on, and she endorsed Kamala,
(14:57):
So right, so that's why, yeah, boo. So that's why
Trump tweeted out last night he had to troll her
about Taylor being booed and how she made a bad
decision in supporting Colas.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
In Taylor Swift's defense, she makes that same face whether
she is cheered or booed, or winning a Grammy, or
drops a little toothpaste in the sink and realize she'll
have to clean it up. Ah, with the mouth wide open. Everything,
it's just.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Nuts, or go to Nobody needs to feel sorry for
Taylor Swift. She's a billionaire and everything else, but she's
got rf resting amazed face. But she had to at
some point yesterday think I'm a pop star and I
just got booed. What football game? But you did wade
into politics, and a lot of these celebrities, for some reason,
(15:45):
don't seem to think that it's not never ending adulation
for your support of the liberals. A lot of us
don't dig that. When you come out on the stage
and start talking about your pro choice this or anti
war that or whatever, a lot of us really freaking hated.
And we go to your concert anyway or your movie
just because we want to see the concert of the movie.
But we're not all digging it. All your friends are
(16:06):
talking about how brave you are for coming out and
supporting this or that. Well, we don't all like it.
So you got booed.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well, yeah, we'll go to your shows unless you just
are so obnoxious about it for so long, we can't
stand it anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Bruce. There are endless stats that point out what a
drubbing it was of the Kansas City Chiefs White Eagles
last night. And I think it's all about the offensive line.
I mean, they just think Patrick Mallens didn't have a chance.
But it was what is a game sixty minutes long?
It was at the forty two minute mark the Chiefs
(16:40):
crossed midfield for the first time in the game. Oh
the mark they got past the fifty yard line. That's
an early season, mismatched game. It had that feel. It's
not a game you want to watch. No, No, it's
rough on the and right before half they had a
player before half, but like with a minute before half,
(17:02):
they had fourteen total offensive yards the Chiefs in the
and a half. That is brutus, Armstrong and getdy.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Those families of the three hostages released now describing how
the men endured horrific conditions. Ohad ben Ami, Elisha Rabi
and or Levy looking frail and gaunt as they were
handed over from Harmas to the Red Cross in Gaza
now or Levi's brother. He said they were subjected to
physical and psychological abuse, adding that he doesn't think the
(17:33):
remaining hostages will actually survive the conditions any longer. Now
there are still six Americans held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
There's so much going on domestically, and it's getting so
much coverage because the mainstream media is so in love
with government. Any attempt to cut it is the only
thing that matters in the world. But this Trump is
their catnip. But this whole cease fire thing with Hamas
is crazy. I understand Israel wants to get the hostages back,
(18:08):
and it is their religious law and their history to
go above and beyond. I mean, they'll give hundreds of
horrible criminals who have murdered Jews back to get one
Israeli citizen. That's their history. So they're putting up with this.
But the idea that there's any sort of agreement on
(18:35):
both sides to like tone down hostilities or anything like
that is obviously ridiculous. These people are coming out tortured
and thin and with all kinds of health problems, and
they'll never be the same heart problems for the way
they've been treated. As you just heard. There, a lot
of the hostages are left. The hostages that are coming
(18:57):
out are saying they're not going to survive. And then,
if you haven't watched any of these turning over ceremonies,
Hamas mentally tortures them as they hand them over. Yeah,
humiliates them at the very very least. Yeah, Making the
hostages on Saturday they released obviously at gunpoint. If not,
(19:21):
you know, if not, well, literally even without the gunpoint
at him, you're literally at gunpoint until you're in the
hands of the Israelis. They could, they could do anything
to you, making them fank they're captors. What sort of
s is that?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, it's just bizarre because nobody buys it. It's not
changed any minds in Israel. The whole thing's obscene. Well,
that's that's what I'm getting getting at.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I guess. I mean, I'm gonna give you back to
the Israelis because we're getting back a whole bunch of
hundreds of prisoners, including eighteen on Saturday, that had life
sentences because they were that bad Palestinians that the Israelis
let go. You're going to give back these hostages who
you've tortured. Yeah, Before I turn you over, I want
you to look me in the nine. Thank me. That's
some depraved crap right there, right right, and we have
(20:11):
this impraved I'm sorry, the almost immediate call for a
quote unquote ceasefire on October the ninth. You know it's
just not only idiotic, but just morally bankrupt. Uugh, let
me do this before I get to the breaking news.
Obviously it's not to breaking that I got to get
to it right away, but I'll just read the dispatch
report on this. Israel on Saturday welcome home three male
(20:33):
hostages from terrorist captivity after four hundred and ninety one days.
That's a year and a half, ladies and gentlemen. Health
officials said. The men, who all were underweight upon their release,
release now suffer from health conditions including malnutrition and heart disorders.
Also on Saturday, Israel free to one hundred and eighty
three Palestinian prisoners, eighteen of whom had been serving life
(20:53):
sentences because what they did was so horrible. Part of
the first phase of a three part ceasefire d between
Israel and Hamas and goes through the number of hostages
and prisoners and blah blah, blah blah. On Sunday, Israeli
troops withdrew from another one of the corridors. It's part
of their agreement to get out of Gaza and leave
them alone. Meanwhile, the Trump administration notified Congress on Friday
(21:18):
that it hit approved the sale of more than seven
billion dollars in weapons to Israel, including three thousand hell
fire missiles and other munitions. So I think it's what
you said earlier. Trump's completely on board with BBE on
this whole. Do you got to do to get as
many living hostages back or the bodies of the dead ones.
I'm giving you all this stuff. As soon as it's over,
(21:39):
you freaking lay waste to those people. Yeah, which I
think is well.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, they accepted a set back of a few weeks,
few months, who knows, to get as many people back.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
But then it'll be on with a vengeance, as it
should be. But the breaking news is Hamas says it's
postponing the next hostage release, alleging Israel has broken terms
of the agreement. Of course, and somehow and a lot
of quarters Netnyahu will be blamed for this. Yeah, they're animals,
(22:12):
these Hamas people. They should be eliminated from a living
from planet Earth. Every single last one of them.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And they've stated openly if a million Palestinians have to
die to boot the Jews out, that that's fine with us.
You're gonna have a cease fire. But somebody who says
that and then do what kamala Joe college kids, Well,
there's the settler colonialists. Okay, God, please go to class
(22:39):
and be quiet.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's rough man, that that whole screaming at them, pointing
guns at them as they move the hostages from the
hands of Hamas to Israel. I mean, that's just wow.
They're not even making the slight effort.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
No, well, and I think it's worth noting that how
many American hostages did you say there still are?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And then how little attention has been paid to that
in the US.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
What's become of us as our country our countrymen are
being held by monsters is because the mainstream media and
the college kids tell us they're on the wrong side
because they're Jews, and you can't recognize that for what
it is.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, that's a very good point anyway, just wanted to
get that on because of the breaking news that Hamas
has said they're pausing the next phase.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Well, speaking of negativity, on a much lighter note if
I might, you know, Michael, we need transition music. Do
you have anything handy?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Little uh? I tell you what I need? An enema
well or something I hate, So Michael, grab the kit,
which you can get on at Armstrong and Geddy dot
com with our logo on it. Gian of a kid. Wow.
I hate so much of Michael's cheese dip yesterday. I
(24:07):
mean like a lock wow wow. So speaking of negativity,
and I guess I've lost my touch. I can't believe
we didn't go there. We counted down the top ten.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Super Bowl lads last night, and of course number one
the little Clydesdal rolling the cag across the untry side
because little horse is the top priority is timely beard delivering.
Let at that kid, little horse go. I mean, oh, America,
I know it's a cute little horse, all right, but
that doesn't make it the best.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Add Oh, come on, have more, oh my god, discretion
or something than that. So oh, hush in ping.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You want to invade the US, have a cute little
horse lead the way America. Oh, it's way to being conquered.
The hell they could have that little horse committed murder
and it would be the number one Super Bowl lad.
We did switch over to the Puppy Bowl for a
while when the game was so boring.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
How was the Puppy Ball close shooter? The heck so
dang cute? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Now the flop Ears now lead the Ears up in
the air team by four boys.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh, there are endless dog puns around football and everything
like that are so good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Uh so we didn't touch on the least popular ads
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's usually like a PSA for prostate cancer or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Now that actually finished very nicely. Interestingly enough, we commented
on it early earlier. Fifth from the bottom was open
AI's black dots, swirling them around making pictures that turned
out to be AI.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So we mentioned last week that there were going to
be a lot of AI commercials now as we're really
looking forward to it because I'm really into the whole
AI thing and what it's going to do to society
and all that. I didn't understand any of the ads.
I didn't know what they were telling me or asking
me to do or projecting. I couldn't tell what they were.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Maybe they're just statements that we have eight million dollars
to squander. Look how big we are. I mean one
of them. I don't know if you saw the one
with the the kid saying someday AI will take over
all this. And then there's a flashback when dad said
the same thing about the computer and people were still
writing checks and stuff like that, and I thought, okay,
so this is an ad just to say, ais a
(26:21):
thing and it'll be big.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Okay, So what do you want me to do at
this point? You want me to I don't know, just
remember it. Tuck it away.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Fourth from the bottom, some white guy in a blue
T shirt yelling about you got circle whatever that is.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Nobody cares moving along. Yeah, that's funny. I didn't. I
was trying to grasp what the product was. Didn't get it.
Now my son says, it's some sort of flavored water
or something.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Okay, oh that's right, yeah, everybody, or or a filtered
something or other, big dumb cup.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I don't know. I don't care. I got running water
at my house.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
As it turns out, it's a great convenient A third
from the bottom, the incredibly off putting coffee Mate foam Diva,
the guy who sprays coffee mate foam into his mouth
that his tongue dances around and gets disembodied.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I just remembered because it popped into my head. The
most off putting ad. And I don't know if you're
about to mention it or not.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The ad think so because the the last two and
I'll let me hit him real quick. Uh, fetch the
big reward. It was some dumb contest. And then to
be with a fifteen second ad the Z Suite that
was like TikTok videos of gen Z declaring that they
got the job.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
But I watched, I said, what was an AD for?
What's two?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
What is to be?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It's like webs It's like it's like Hulu. I guess
I'm an old man. I don't even understand what the
ad streaming service it's used to be for cars and
beer melody? Was there a card yesterday? Was there a single?
Yeah out Kevin Cosner?
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'm sorry, Harrison Ford in a G bad I missed
reference to his surname.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I missed that. But they used to be endless car ads.
I mean that would be the new Chevy, this, the
new Ford, that, the new Mercedes this. Yeah. Wonder why
all the car companies have decided to that that's not
money well spent. I don't know comes and goes. The
most disturbing ads to me were, and I don't even
remember what the ads were for the poor guy whose
(28:30):
head was shaped like a cowboy hat with all that flopping,
weird skin.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
What the freak was that? And he finally fit in
when he went to a cowboy talon or something.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You're dude, you're your You're like your ears are shaped,
all that skin shaped like a cowboy hat. Nice deformity,
nice birth defects something or other, just off putting in
a weird I'm trying to find it in the ad
meter the first ad time, because they had multiple versions
of the ad, and the first one I thought saw.
(29:02):
I didn't get the ad, but I thought he was
wearing a couboy hat. It was the second one where
the song mentions his weirdly shaped skin hat and I
want to run away in horror. You Oh. One that
was super popular.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
At the gathering I was at that was number eighteen
in the admeter rankings was the uh coarse light, slow
Monday with the sloths.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, we're inhabiting the man. There were lols all over
the place for that one. I thought that id was
damn funny.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, we liked America lacked a little horse better Jack
the kid little horse did I mention tell you he
saw the keg fall off the truck and roll the
keg all the way across the land nap, because people
have little horses and kegs.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The fact that that's the number one commercial people like
that the most makes me want to check out of
the entertainment business. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well, luckily mass appeal is not really the idea of
our sort of media god.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Trying to freely Yeah, that was weird off putting. How
little could the horse have done for it to be
your favorite ad? Could have just stood there well, and.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
The horse looked it was a waggon with like fifty kegs.
If they run short of one, they'll just come back
to the bar and get another one and deliver it
to Joe's bar and then the drunks can continue drinking.
I wouldn't I wouldn't go to all that trouble, little horse.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
So the degenerates in the CD bar their next keg.
Your fleshy the fleshy cowboy hat was a two b
ad see what's tooby?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, it's a streaming sass it's like, yeah, one of
the million drinking slicks, but one at the headlines. Well
in that Netflix is a streaming service.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yes, it's like Hulu or all those other ones, Paramount plus.
Do I need it? It's the only one I don't have.
But what's with the fleshy cowboy? That's what they called it,
a cowboy and fleshy hat. Yes, it was the song
where they said the cowboy and his fleshy hat, and
I thought, oh, that's his skin. I didn't realize. I
thought it was just like cowboy had the same color
as his head.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's had Frankenstein ad. That was hard to look at, jackasses.
Cowboy and his fleshy hat.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The word fleshy you it's like a giant ear lobe.
Did you like to wear that one? Ranked?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Katie?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh no, I don't see it in the ranking. Was
I was just trying to figure out where that hard
to say it came from? Any comments on anything? Yes, Michael,
I like the little horse. If he had dance, I
would have lost it. Anything you liked from the whole
thing yesterday, whether it was Trump, the ads to play anything,
text line four one five to KFTC. You call us
(31:42):
the party called the sack Party Bush. Here's our metaphor
for an invitation, is that our least floor party quarterly
to the end of a secon. This is incredible. Snus meat,
(32:05):
smoker cuts grass most of my I wanted to get
you more smokes meat. No, my smoker cuts grass. Shane
Gillis is a funny guy, but like commercial of course
promoting uh boozing, all the other hands promote gluttony. At
(32:26):
least they weren't promoting near as much sex. Oh, how
about the boo bad that ended up being for breast cancer.
My son actually said, should I be watching this? He'll
be fine? Son? Yeah, yeah, it was. It was fine.
The Dispatch mentioned one of the weirder ads I'd forgotten about,
with Seal the singer as an actual Seal singing kiss
(32:49):
from a Rose with hilarious lyrics. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Washington Post gave that their most Disturbing Visual award. I
wouldn't think the deformed cowboy hat guy, but no, that
this skin cowboy hat is the most disturbing visual.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, without a doubt. What did you come across on that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Somebody wrote whose idea was this? Explain yourself?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I agree? What do you mean, his hat's gonna be
skin Yeah, it'll be great. No, you're disturbing to me.
And I haven't even seen it yet. I I was
so disappointed in the game. I was really expecting a
really close game and like really enjoying it. I like
(33:36):
close football games. It's really fun to watch. And I
don't mind as much that the Eagles won. I just
it was just no fun. I mean there was no
enjoyment after like the first minute of the game practically.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
So.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I was at a gathering and it was standing
around and hobnobbing with people and chatting and stuff like that,
which I'm not a huge fan of anyway, lovely folks
and all was great. Yeah, as a football fan, I
go to watch the championship football game.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well, you're lucky to be at a social gathering in
this case, because Henry and I were there thinking, you know,
we're two football fans, are going to sit here and
watch us as like a game. And that was not
enjoyable at all.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
No, No, it was one of those I wonder how
bad it can get. That was the only level of
interest as a football game.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
How did they score two shot points? I missed? I
didn't watch the second half, I checked in now and
then see kind of your standard.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
They really opened up the offense and the Eagles were
giving ground slowly, so the Chiefs couldn't score quickly, but
you knew they were going to score and mop up
time typical.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
It wasn't as close as the score indicates, as they
say in the football business. Ah right, So that takes
care of that.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Now we're into the no exciting sports ghetto unless you're
a big hockey fan or something for a while.
