Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong, and Jakie and Key.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Armstrong live from Studio C see senor.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh my god, the eighteen seed just knocked off the
sixth seed just happened. We're in a dimly lit room
deeper from the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Hey one.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Judges.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Judges everywhere, Judge many. Oh wait a minute, lest ye
be judged?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Boo.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I hadn't thought of that one. It's a good one.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Putting down my gavel, peeling off moroe. I've been doing
too much judging, say judges. The three seed just beat
the fourteen seed. Okay, that's expected as expected, but that's
a close on.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Firstly, everything going on in the MURCA these days is
going before judge sooner or later.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's craziness, right, And uh, I find that difficult to
comment on because I I don't know what are you
gonna do? What are you gonna do? So the listen
to the Armstrong and Getdy Show and it'll bring you updates.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, like a judge is looking.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I guess by noon today, gotta get the information on
the whole ship in Venezuela's the Venezuela whatever, whenever that happened.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Let us know what you're figuring out. You know, when
the game is over NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Actually the nineteen seed has just gotten by the twenty
two seed.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's changed the practice. It's much madness, don't you know. Yeah,
I'm reminded.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Since you get a ruling from a district court judge say,
and then an appeals court judge no, no, non, it goes
until maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The soups take a look at it.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's like America is a little kid that really wants
a cupcake and mom says no, so he goes to dad.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
What your mom says no? Well right, yeah, there's that too.
Mom didn't say anything dad, I just want a goodcake.
But if dad says no, the kid goes to the uncle,
and then like grandpa, and then great Grandpa.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's you know, he's got so many layers of appeal.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's not clear if you'll ever get a cupcake for
a very long time.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Here's something I heard from the dispatch. A couple of
weeks ago on a podcast I thought was really really good.
This is part of our whole performative politics and how
it's not really taking us a good direction.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like for instance, Holman.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The other day, and I like him booting out the
illegals and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But he's tough talking. That's right, he's seen talking Tom Hole.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He suggested, you know, we're doing it whether the judges
say so or not or whatever, like, you can defy
the judges, you don't care what the judges right, that
sort of thing. And Biden did that all the time.
So when the Supreme Court ruled against him bailing out
student loans for college kids, he came up with different avenues.
But in his speeches he would always say the Supreme
(03:22):
Court told me I couldn't and I did it anyway,
and the crowd would cheer like crazy, this notion of
the president defying the courts, and that's not actually what
he was doing. They were finding other technical ways to
get around the idea, because that's legally the only thing.
You can't actually just defy the court. But so it's
been put into a bloodstream, this idea that you can
(03:45):
just stand up to the courts and you can't.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right, they're trying to bully us, and we're not going
to have it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But so now a lot of average voters, that's what
they think because that's what they're being told by presidents
of the United States, that you can just defy the
courts if you're tough. Imagine if our brave free press
had called out the Democrats when they were doing it,
and then Trump came into office and started doing it,
or Trump's people came into office and help, then they
would have a fiber of credibility with which to call
(04:13):
him on it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But they don't. There's such dummies.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I mean, never mind the question of ethics or honesty
or what's best for the country. Just as a business model,
you people are stupid. You're so clouded by your ideology.
You don't understand how you're cutting your own throats. But
they're not listening to me, and that's fine. Go ahead,
Oh oh, that's right. Your outlet is dying because you're
terrible at your jobs.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why am I yelling at them? Why bother?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So we're in a career airplane that's headed quickly toward
the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A couple of things will be getting to today, the
University of California, which is the biggest university system in
the United States and so dictates a lot of what
goes on in the country, will stop requiring diversities statements
and they're hiring that is long, long over too and
welcome as those statements were obscene. If you don't know
(05:09):
what that means, we can get into that a little
bit later. And the other one is Donald Trump is
signing the executive order to wind down the Department of Education,
something conservatives have wanted forever. And I was just reading
in Mark Alpern's newsletter. The Trump people are well aware
of the polling on this that is on their side,
and they'll make a big showy splash out of this
(05:29):
with kids and everything like that. In assigning Delio today,
that will be to his benefit, right, I would agree completely.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, I can't wait to talk about that. Got a
lot of good stuff to get to today. There are
all sorts of interesting developments on the Justice Department looking
into this and going after that in a way that's
very very pleasing. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the I think
it's Justice Department.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I had a check.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But somebody is going to do a deep die into
the Biden epas handing out of all of those billions
of dollars to those activist groups, that giant, giant, graft
driven slush fund.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And I'm so happy about that. Here's my other.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We've got to cut thats out to use the plain
parlance of the American people. Oh, that is some That
is some plane spoken frontier talk right there.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Uh, cut the crap.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You remember that was my slogan there for a cup
of coffee. I love this story. It was in the
New York Times yesterday, and we'll get to it a
little bit later. We've talked about this before.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Do we age in bursts for many people, aging fields?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
For many people, aging feels like it happens and stops
and starts. And it turns out there's scientific basis for
this experiment of this experience, and we'll talk about that later.
That everything just doesn't gradually happen. He's just like, all
of a sudden, this happens or that happens. Which is interesting.
Why would we be built that way.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
To get out of the way of the young, make
room for the young to come and have babies.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
But they're not holding up there.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like like Seinfeld says, about babies. Make no mistake. They
are here to replace us.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh yeah, that's their goal.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
If you young people are not coupling and making babies,
we oldsters are going to stick around and harass you
until you start, all right, that's the deal. Put down
your porn, stop your radical angry twenty two year old
woman crap. Find the diff with somebody you like, you'd
love and to get along with them to have.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
A damn family. That's enough vaping and get off my lawn.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What did you stop vaping? Let's start to show officially.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is
a Thursday, March twentieth year, twenty twenty five, happy to
be alive in twenty five or Armstrong and geddy, and
we approve of this program.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I like your positivity. Let's begin now officially according to
de f SEC rules regulations.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Here we go at mark you guys, scare them a
little bit, kick most of there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I do that. I know I can run him, but
I don't know if we're going to fall into that
place where we want to. Okay, we challenge you to
a do you know a w W E fight?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Wow, I'm intimidated, color me intimidated.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So that was Tim Walls, which I thought I was
going to get to not ever have to hear from again,
But he was on Gavin Newsom's podcast the other day.
Our executive producer is a theory that Gavin's bringing on
these leading lights of the Democratic Party to to make
them look dim next to him, which might be his strategy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Actually they make him look laugh, I laughed.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
If you make him looky, make him look reasonable maybe
and and and smart?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Executive producer Hanson also suggested that America is the richer
for having Tim Walls on the scene spouting his nonsense.
And I would agree. He is an amusing ass cloud there.
So his rap is about the Maga crowd, that he's
a maggis in timid his masculinity. Boy, I don't know
(09:02):
if he's reading that old thing, right, I love him.
I'm sure he's reading. And I'm a knucklehead at times.
I think I'd be happier if I could delude myself
to that level. Off they're just mad at me because
I'm so smart or something like that. Yeah, that's why
we're man nailed it. We got to get the unedited
version of that. I think the good folks can handle
(09:24):
Tim Walls.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Saying asses, I think we'll be all right. I hope
we'll be all right.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But he's a good here's a good one for you
as a parent. So my son wants to take a
girl to a movie this weekend. The state of the
of movies is not what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Uh everything is either uh R rated or a kid's movie.
There's like nothing in between anymore. For some reason, it's
just the way it is. Or a superhero movie. That's
that's pretty much your choice, is superhero movie, R rated
movie or children's movies.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think it has something to do with the fact
that we're in the age of hyperbole. It's difficult to
break through all the millions of signals wanting our attention
with something that is subtle and you know, just you know,
rich and homespun and you know what I'm saying, and
some onceritysl and a certain number of our movies are
not that are are They're just anyway they want to
(10:25):
go to this one particular movie that I researched, and
it's just there's some scary it's horror film stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Scary horror film stuff. That's why it's rated R. Doesn't
have the hardcore frontal sex in it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Anyway, I was thinking about and I was going to
ask the parents of I take them in there to
the R rated movie, then I leave, I drop them off,
just to get them into the rated movie.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Does anybody do that? That's an interesting question. I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It seems reasonable, if you know, if you've looked into it,
and it's fine. Although, oh, that's right, our is restricted
without your presence. Yeah, I don't know what aren't read there?
What AR means anymore? What does it mean?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I think you gotta leave the law? Oh yeah, yeah,
you've once again defrauded an inch. Yes, Gers Jack was
guilty of years ago. I remember correctly.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It was anybody under seventeen needed to be accompanied by
a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Through the door or throughout the entire movie. That's what
I ad the movie. But I have to hold their
hands and hold their hands. Well, you got to be
ready at any moment to yanks amount of the cen
the film.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sunfolds, right, cover your eyes, son, cover You're there to
cover their.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
When the film unfolds. Can't have that anyway, if you
have any opinion on that, you can text us. And
we got Katie's headlines on the way four one, five, two, nine,
five kftc.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Age in jumps.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
According to new studies, the two ages where you jump
old the most.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We can get that for you. Maybe next hour on
the Armstrong and Giddisha, or maybe this hour. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
When I'm so old that I no longer can remember,
I might not be around next hour if I jump,
you know too far, Wow, well you'll be missed. But
there are two ages where all of a sudden boom,
you're way older.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You're gonna want to know what those are.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, starting with USA today, Trump to sign order aimed
at eliminating.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
The education Department.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, and that is gonna be uh popular. They've already
reduced the size by half. But the more on that
later and how it began, which I think is key
to the argument of.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Why it should end. Freaking Jimmy Carter, Damn.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Jimmy Carter from ABC Ukraine targets key Russian air base
with quote massive drone attack.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, ain't cease firing yet.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
From NBC, Israeli military launches new ground operation in.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
There's another one that ain't ended yet. Oh no, and
it can't it won't.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
From the New York Post.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Anti Israel protesters push past NYPD to enter World Trade
Center's oculus.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow, I didn't see that. How did the NYPD let
them get by? They overpowered them? Really? Yeah, they were outnumbered.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Up, I'm doing a Katie's Corner and I'll put the
video on there.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
How much longer will America kneel before angry people just
because they're from the left, and only when they're from
the left. From the New York Stot, I just keep
doing it, and you'll see the Democratic Party shrink and
shrink and shrink because normal people see that and they're aghast.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
From the New York Times.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
China executed four Canadians over drug related convictions, a development
that threatens to worsen an already tense relationship.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, it's not like we in Cana that got along
with China before this, But they executed four Canadians after
Canada said, hey, yeah, don't need to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Why don't you just send a mirror or something they
executed in for them. Wow, don't go to one of
those authoritarian countries and think you can do.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Drugs from the New York Times's that's a that's a
poke in Canada, right, I mean, then that's the point
of that, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, And there's probably.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
A domestic aspect to two sision. Ping is probably trying
to h gin up support at home to look at me,
how I'm standing up to these foreigners. It's like the
opium Wars of the Brits infected us. We're not having
it now. I'm not having it now. I'm standing up
for you China.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
New York Times.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Europe delays tariffs on US whiskey and other goods.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
From younger So many ways to get drunk. I mean,
I have my favorites, don't we all. But if they
like outlawed American whiskey, this final drink, Scotch or Irish
whiskey or whatever, or will huff paint or something. I
realized if you're in the industry, it's terrible. It's disruptive
and probably unnecessary. But yes, I don't think it's as.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Impactful as non drunks think it is I still got
a glue bottle?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I'm fine? Oh boy?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
From Yahoo news man tries to set Tesla chargers on fire,
accidentally sets himself.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
On fire as well.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah good, We got some more on this whole clearly
domestic terrorism issue to talk about later.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
From The Wall Street Journal, a facelift at thirty five,
Why younger women are going under the knife?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Ah interesting that age is a little earlier than one
of the big jumps you make in aging, which we'll
get to later.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That is so no, no, just no.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
And finally, the Babylon be Democrats say fire at Tesla facility.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Likely caused by climate change.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So, uh, you're wanting you don't want women to look pretty?
Is that what you're going?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Good lord, If you're carving up your face in your
mid thirties, why yeah, but why yeah, well yeah, not
only that, but oh because the natural processes of life
aren't acceptable. And your plan or your point of view
is what he's explained to me, your point of view,
(16:29):
I've just got to stay as hot as I was
at twenty four my entire life.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I was thinking about when I was at the stupid,
Stupid Captain America movie the other day with Harrison Ford
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He's a guy who's just aged.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He clearly hasn't had any work done, or at least
he hasn't clearly had work done. He looks like an
old man, and it's so much better than looking like
Kenny Rogers or you know, any of those weirdos who
carve up their faces and become laughing stocks.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He just looks like an old man, which he's supposed
to be. Two. Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I suppose I should be more compassionate for people who
are suffering so acutely over their natural aging that they
that they get this done.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know. Yeah, that's interesting. We will talk about
the whole aging thing. We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And I do want to talk about this domestic terrorism
that needs to be called out more by mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'll say that Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And a firm believer that President Trump will run and
went again at twenty twenty eight, so I've already endorsed
President Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
A man like this comes along.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Once every century. If we're lucky, we've got him now.
He's on fire, and I'm a huge supporter. I want
to see him again in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Eight no, right, whatever, Steve benn and what a con man.
Nice trolling, all right, we're trying to get some headlines.
That was a little over the top even for use. Yes,
it was even by his standards, that was too much.
Here are the two ages where you jump in aging,
and then we'll get to the details a little bit
later from this new study that's out. You don't age gradually.
(18:05):
They're like cliffs. And the two ages where you jump
in aging the most, they say are forty and sixty.
Not my experience, true fact, Ding, that's not really my experience,
but you know, your mileage may vary. I don't have
any memory of all of a sudden feeling forty four.
Actually it's forty four and sixty, specifically forty four feeling
(18:28):
great At age forty three, you're windsurfing and mountain climbing,
and I don't know one of all the things you're doing,
and then all of a sudden you're in a wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
You you have it bound down right exactly more on
that list.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's a range, yeh. And my experience aging is a
lot like mountain biking. Jack.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I will explain when we talk about it later on,
but I can attest to at least part of that.
So a couple of absolutely excellent examples of.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
The Justice Department doing what it should do.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
First of all, Pam Bondi has said that Tesla set
on fire, bullets and bombs aimed at showroom and charging
stations are domestic terrorism. A Justice Department crackdown has been announced.
She has announced what she've used as politically motivated attacks
against Tesla and leader Elon Musk when President's most powerful
(19:24):
advisors quote the swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property
is nothing short of domestic terrorism, adding that prosecutors would
pursue federal charges that can carry long mandatory prison sentences
and unlike your say California shoplifting conviction, where you get
sentenced to two years, you know, if you're like a
(19:45):
serial shoplifter and end up serving five and a half
months or what have you not, So with federal sentences,
you do your time.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
A number of people on the right have pointed out
that many of the article are the coverage about the
whole Tesla attacks and the domestic terrorism. There's a yeah,
but can you blame them? I mean, here's why they're
so mad, laying out all the flaws of Elon Musk,
which is something that wouldn't be happening if you had
(20:15):
maga people out there. I don't know what would they
be attacking. I don't know what would maga people attack something. Yeah,
some woke ceo said something. Target stores.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You know they're setting fire to Target stores back during
the Hey, tell your kid to tuck away his penis
and pretend to be.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
A little girl sale.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The New York Times wouldn't be explaining away, Well, you
can't blame them for being mad, because here's what Target did,
the way they're doing in every article.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And well, I've got a quick example of that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
For many, says The New York Times, the people that
are attacking Tesla dealerships and setting Tesla's on fire. For many,
the deal breaker came when mister Musk made a gesture
that resembled a fascist salute while speaking at a rally
celebrating poet from the Inuguration.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's from The New York Times.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The deal biker for these domestic terrorists were when Elon
Musk waved to the crowd in a weird, autistic way,
and you claimed it was a Nazi salute. That's actually
in the New York Times, and everybody agreed. Anybody with
any conscience agreed, No, that's not what he was doing.
But that was the final straw for many. So domestic
terrorism is okay. You people are just a joke Nazi.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
In the past few weeks alone, federal prosecutors say a
Colorado woman, through molotov cocktails at vehicles at a dealership,
scrawled the word Nazi on one of its signs. I
think it was a rich lowry of The National Review
went through all the ways in which calling Elon Muska
Nazi is hilariously misguided. I won't bother her, but it's idiotic.
(21:47):
Nazi just means anything you don't like. Now, it's like fascist.
An Oregon man file fired bullets and explosives into a
dealership in its cars. In a South Carolina man spray
painted anti Trump messages on a Tesla charging station parking
spot before throwing five homemade bombs at the chargers, torching them.
Inside the man's bedroom, investigators found a purple composition notebook
(22:08):
with a three page handwritten statement that asserted, you know
you never see brevity among maniacs.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Has science ever studied why that's? A fast?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
High editor right right, Hey Jim, you're rambling twenty five
thousand word manifesto, very very compelling, but I feel like
we could tighten it up.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I see your point about the eco terrorism. But this
is a run on sentence.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
So the handwritten statement asserted anti government beliefs and statements
opposed to the Department of Government efficiency. According to court
documents anyway, So Pam Bondi has said, no, this Chisneizzel
will not stand.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It's terrorism.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I mean, if somebody spray paints graffiti on something, they
don't need to spend ten years in the federal pen.
I mean it'll We'll give them a good solid slapping
on the wrist, and you know that's probably good enough.
Can you believe The New York Times, in their big
article about Tesla vandalism, actually said, for some the deal
(23:09):
breaker came when mister Musk made a gesture.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
That resembled a fashion salute. Can you believe that dumb?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It is dumb and nakedly desperate for a rationale.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Have you seen all the pictures and videos where they
have you know, name whoever, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton,
anybody on the left raising their hand like that. At
some point in a crap because you do it all
the time. Oh yeah, you're waving to a friend or
pointing out a bird, whatever you're doing. It doesn't mean
you're a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Reminds me very much, in an odd way of when
Deborah Burks you remember a scarf lady from the COVID
that was there was Those were good times where she
said and it's very very important, do not touch your face,
and touch your face like five times during the speech please,
people routinely wave like that anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, I just.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I am astounded how stupid smart people can be when
their ideology blinds them. Anyway, So the thing was a yes,
nobody in New York Times or anybody else ever pays
off the point of this. So should the Trump administration
(24:21):
get rid of elaon Musk and Doge and stop trying
to cut government because people are setting Tesla's on fire?
In other words, you let people who are violent dictate policy?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Is that what you want? I mean, that's nuts.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
There are somebody on the left who their muscles of
argument are completely atrophied because they are so bubbled, and
they famously don't know any Trump voters, don't know anybody
who knows any Trump voters. They never look at arguments
from the right and anywhere on the right, whether the
(24:55):
Mega writer or the National Review writer or the Wall
Street Journal or the Washington Times. They're just never exposed
to those arguments at all, and so their muscles of
argument I think of atrophied to the point where they say,
you know, that ridiculous stuff about the alleged Nazi salute,
that's absurd. It's not just a weak argument, it's like
a parody.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I thought this was also really really good Trump's epa
versus Biden's dark climate money. A lawsuit may expose how
the Democratic green New Steel really worked. See that I
changed deal into steel like that?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I like that devastating, so, as some the editorial board
at the Journal points out, imagine if Republicans gave the
Trump administration tens of billions of dollars to dole out
to right wing groups to sprinkle around to favorite businesses,
whether they were like related.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
To the alleged goal or not. That's what Democrats did
with the Inflation Reduction Act. The Trump team's effort to
break this spending racket up has led to a court
brawl which could.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Be educational t wit.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
EPA administrator Lee zeld In goal Go recently canceled some
twenty billion dollars in grants that his Biden predecessors there
rushed out to left wing groups from the EPA's Greenhouse
Gas Reduction Fund, which again could literally go to anything.
Democrats established this quasi private green bank in the inflation reduction.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It makes me sick to even call it that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The Green New dealct to avoid government oversight of climate spending. Specifically,
they structured it the way they did so there would
be no accountability. Mister Zelden claims the freeze is needed
because of substantial concerns regarding program integrity, the award process,
programmatic fraud, waste abuse, and misalignment with the agency's priorities.
(26:42):
And he's right that the program is rife with political conflicts.
For instance, in one example, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,
the director jih Wise oversaw a five billion dollar grant
to his former employer, Coalition for Green Capital. Through a
bunch more, here's two billion dollars to Power Forward Communities,
(27:04):
an umbrella group of climate outfits that was formed specifically
to receive the money. It was formed in twenty twenty three,
supposedly to finance home energy efficiency upgrades, but the IRA
includes tax credits and other grant programs for this purpose
Power forwards. Real purpose is to spread spread taxpayer funds
(27:25):
to progressives.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
There are a bunch more examples.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It is egregious and shameless, and I say go get
them our two.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We'll get to that hole.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
The way we age thing which is new and I
think it's going to be uh, you know, news you
can use. I don't know how you plan ahead or
I don't know, plan that cross country ski trip before
you turn forty four.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Maybe that's what you do something like that. I don't know.
And also we got mailbag on the way next day
here a strong I y'all do it? Go ahead? The
one glad to hear it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The big, the big part of the tournament starts today,
right Thursday. I mean, you had some playing games and
all that sort of stuff, but your march man kind
of out of touch with the tournament this year for
some reason. I'll get into it on lots of games today.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, yeah, huh.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm trying to pick the best freedom loving quote of
the day.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Michael. You know, I may go with this one. Teddy
was a really interesting guy.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
He overcame childhood illness and weakness and became perhaps the
world's greatest advocate for hard work and overcoming obstacles and
that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
We're on a first name basis Teddy who Oh sorry,
Teddy Roosevelt is continuing our our series from Theodore Roosevelt
to a number of people have been commenting via email,
so I forget I have to set, but I'll go
with this one. Never throughout history has a man who
lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Wow. Based on talking to my high schooler, he would say,
I don't care. Then perhaps read him this.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
The boy who was going to make a great man
must not make up his mind merely to overcome a
thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand
repulses and defeats.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Count your repulses and defeats. If you're not too a thousand,
You've got to keep striving. Friends. Mailbag wo drops no
mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com. First of all,
Rich has a comment on the famous quote from Governor
Jerry Brown of cal Unicornia we played yesterday.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Those who have been blessed the most who have disproportionately
attracted by whatever skill, more and more from the national wealth.
They're gonna have to share more of that.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's so freaky perverse. It makes me insane. Anybody who
was going to use so we put in jail. Wow.
Well yeah, the idea of communist you're you're promoting communism,
and I want you out of society. There's a fixed.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Pie of quote national wealth, and anybody who creates a
successful business and earns more money, for instance, has taken money,
not added to the economy, but taken from it.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Good law.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Course, he, like many politicians, ended up really wealthy somehow.
But I guess that doesn't there's nothing wrong with that
kind of wealth, precisely rich rights.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I think we might be taking Jerry's words wrong, all wrong.
According to dogs, there are plenty of people extracting money
from the national wealth. That's the way he sees the world.
Keep up the good work, you keep up the good work, rich.
That's a fine email. Let's see this is from Aaron.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The Left.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Be kind, humankind, Kindness is everything. Inclusiveness me, I know
what that really means. You want me to align myself
morally and philosophically with gender theory.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No thanks, I'm not interested.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
The Left die early, you nazi effing maggot scum. Maggot
not spelled in the standard form jack referring to the
larva of the fly, but indeed maga with a tea
at the end, magat scum, which is something a leftist
friend of thirty five years actually said.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
To me a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Wow, kindness, Yeah, yeah, let's see Jeff said this along.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
It is a bit of a meme. I haven't seen
Democrats this mad since we took away their slaves.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's that's well, yeah, the Democrats were the party's slavery,
as you remember, I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I don't get a lot of joy out of that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
To me, the roles and identities of the parties have
shifted and switched so many times means century.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And a half.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
If you just want to be mean, though, it's pretty good, eh.
I have been that mad since we took away their slaves.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Eric the Machinist writes on the topic of large televisions.
When my wife and I were television shopping a couple
of years ago, she asked why I wanted the largest
television that would reasonably fit on her living room wall.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
This comes from me going to Costco and seeing they
now have a ninety eight inch television on display.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Ninety eight yes, oh give me.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I told her that some people actually enjoyed coming home
and watching a little television, but I didn't want to
be that guy. It was the first time I actually
heard someone's eyes audibly roll back in their head. Also,
Jack is the only person I've ever heard of that
simultaneously doesn't care about food and has no self control
with it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Pick a lane, Jack, I'm the same with the TV.
I don't even hardly ever watch television, So why do
I want a ninety eight inch television?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, I've told this story before, but a one hundred
years ago, when we worked in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina,
you spent a couple of days on the air talking
about how you were through a TV. It was stu
but in a waste of time essentially, and then literally
the next day you purchased the biggest TV I had
at that point ever seen in my life. Well, I'm mercurier,
that's my charm. Yes, yes, how Bet, I watched ninety
(33:12):
eight percent of all TV and movies on my phone
on my phone.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Hm.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Wow, let's see on Oswald and Lee R v. Oswald
and the assassination of JFK. And I've got to dig
up more revelations because they're still coming and they're not
like smoking gunnish, Oh my god, but they are so
illustrative of how spycraft worked in the middle part of
the twentieth century and how the CIA was out of control. Anyway,
(33:40):
Jay and San Jose, Right, So I'm listening to all
the experts talk about the new information.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
My guess was it wasn't super complicated.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Seems that the minimum Oswald was an informant for the CIA.
He hears CIA folks lamenting about JFK, who didn't trust
the CIA and fired their boss, and Oswald takes it
on himself to assassinate JFK, maybe to be a hero
to his CIA or Communist friends, who knows not. Some
big play people go rogue sometimes. And he says, you
(34:05):
should do an experiment, run all the documents through chat,
GPT or whatever AI and then ask it what all
this info means about who killed JFK. Ah interesting, that
is interesting. Speaking of which, Darren writes, Hello, gentlemen, just
to make Jack feel more anxious about AI, I can
confidently declare that the age of AI coding has arrived.
(34:25):
The tools that they're rolling out and the employers like
mine are embracing. Now feel like having a dedicated program
or intern that instantly completes any task that you give them. Sure,
you still have to check the work for now, but
prompts like write me some code that does X, y
zor how can I make this code better? Or help
me debug why this system is failing quickly yield quality
code that is integrated into a project with the click
(34:45):
of a button, and suggestions that massively improve productivity. Jack,
please take steps to protect your vital fluids from our
AI overlords.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
The time is at hand.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
That's got to be so disappointing if you're good at coding,
or spend a lot of time learning how to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Man times change, he.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Says, KSFTFB keeps searching for that firm bottom.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's my favorite stock market term. And we don't really
have time for this. From Chuck in Vancouver, Washington. But
homeschoolers are under attack, absolutely true. Illinois and Washington State
in particular, attacking homeschooling.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It to be hest of the evil teachers.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Unions definitely want to talk about this on the day
Trump's going to get rid of the Department of Education.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong, and Jakie and Key.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Armstrong live from Studio C see senor.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh my god, the eighteen seed just knocked off the
sixth seed just happened. We're in a dimly lit room
deeper from the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Hey one.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Judges.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Judges everywhere, Judge many. Oh wait a minute, lest ye
be judged?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Boo.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I hadn't thought of that one. It's a good one.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Putting down my gavel, peeling off moroe. I've been doing
too much judging, say judges. The three seed just beat
the fourteen seed. Okay, that's expected as expected, but that's
a close on.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Firstly, everything going on in the MURCA these days is
going before judge sooner or later.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's craziness, right, And uh, I find that difficult to
comment on because I I don't know what are you
gonna do? What are you gonna do? So the listen
to the Armstrong and Getdy Show and it'll bring you updates.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, like a judge is looking.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I guess by noon today, gotta get the information on
the whole ship in Venezuela's the Venezuela whatever, whenever that happened.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Let us know what you're figuring out. You know, when
the game is over NonStop.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Actually the nineteen seed has just gotten by the twenty
two seed.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's changed the practice. It's much madness, don't you know. Yeah,
I'm reminded.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Since you get a ruling from a district court judge say,
and then an appeals court judge no, no, non, it goes
until maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The soups take a look at it.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It's like America is a little kid that really wants
a cupcake and mom says no, so he goes to dad.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
What your mom says no? Well right, yeah, there's that too.
Mom didn't say anything dad, I just want a goodcake.
But if dad says no, the kid goes to the uncle,
and then like grandpa, and then great Grandpa.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's you know, he's got so many layers of appeal.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's not clear if you'll ever get a cupcake for
a very long time.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Here's something I heard from the dispatch. A couple of
weeks ago on a podcast I thought was really really good.
This is part of our whole performative politics and how
it's not really taking us a good direction.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like for instance, Holman.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The other day, and I like him booting out the
illegals and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But he's tough talking. That's right, he's seen talking Tom Hole.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
He suggested, you know, we're doing it whether the judges
say so or not or whatever, like, you can defy
the judges, you don't care what the judges right, that
sort of thing. And Biden did that all the time.
So when the Supreme Court ruled against him bailing out
student loans for college kids, he came up with different avenues.
But in his speeches he would always say the Supreme
(03:22):
Court told me I couldn't and I did it anyway,
and the crowd would cheer like crazy, this notion of
the president defying the courts, and that's not actually what
he was doing. They were finding other technical ways to
get around the idea, because that's legally the only thing.
You can't actually just defy the court. But so it's
been put into a bloodstream, this idea that you can
(03:45):
just stand up to the courts and you can't.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right, they're trying to bully us, and we're not going
to have it.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But so now a lot of average voters, that's what
they think because that's what they're being told by presidents
of the United States, that you can just defy the
courts if you're tough. Imagine if our brave free press
had called out the Democrats when they were doing it,
and then Trump came into office and started doing it,
or Trump's people came into office and help, then they
would have a fiber of credibility with which to call
(04:13):
him on it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But they don't. There's such dummies.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I mean, never mind the question of ethics or honesty
or what's best for the country. Just as a business model,
you people are stupid. You're so clouded by your ideology.
You don't understand how you're cutting your own throats. But
they're not listening to me, and that's fine. Go ahead,
Oh oh, that's right. Your outlet is dying because you're
terrible at your jobs.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why am I yelling at them? Why bother?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So we're in a career airplane that's headed quickly toward
the ground.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A couple of things will be getting to today, the
University of California, which is the biggest university system in
the United States and so dictates a lot of what
goes on in the country, will stop requiring diversities statements
and they're hiring that is long, long over too and
welcome as those statements were obscene. If you don't know
(05:09):
what that means, we can get into that a little
bit later. And the other one is Donald Trump is
signing the executive order to wind down the Department of Education,
something conservatives have wanted forever. And I was just reading
in Mark Alpern's newsletter. The Trump people are well aware
of the polling on this that is on their side,
and they'll make a big showy splash out of this
(05:29):
with kids and everything like that. In assigning Delio today,
that will be to his benefit, right, I would agree completely.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, I can't wait to talk about that. Got a
lot of good stuff to get to today. There are
all sorts of interesting developments on the Justice Department looking
into this and going after that in a way that's
very very pleasing. Oh my gosh. Yeah, the I think
it's Justice Department.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I had a check.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But somebody is going to do a deep die into
the Biden epas handing out of all of those billions
of dollars to those activist groups, that giant, giant, graft
driven slush fund.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And I'm so happy about that. Here's my other.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
We've got to cut thats out to use the plain
parlance of the American people. Oh, that is some That
is some plane spoken frontier talk right there.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Uh, cut the crap.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You remember that was my slogan there for a cup
of coffee. I love this story. It was in the
New York Times yesterday, and we'll get to it a
little bit later. We've talked about this before.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Do we age in bursts for many people, aging fields?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
For many people, aging feels like it happens and stops
and starts. And it turns out there's scientific basis for
this experiment of this experience, and we'll talk about that later.
That everything just doesn't gradually happen. He's just like, all
of a sudden, this happens or that happens. Which is interesting.
Why would we be built that way.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
To get out of the way of the young, make
room for the young to come and have babies.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
But they're not holding up there.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like like Seinfeld says, about babies. Make no mistake. They
are here to replace us.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh yeah, that's their goal.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
If you young people are not coupling and making babies,
we oldsters are going to stick around and harass you
until you start, all right, that's the deal. Put down
your porn, stop your radical angry twenty two year old
woman crap. Find the diff with somebody you like, you'd
love and to get along with them to have.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
A damn family. That's enough vaping and get off my lawn.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What did you stop vaping? Let's start to show officially.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is
a Thursday, March twentieth year, twenty twenty five, happy to
be alive in twenty five or Armstrong and geddy, and
we approve of this program.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I like your positivity. Let's begin now officially according to
de f SEC rules regulations.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Here we go at mark you guys, scare them a
little bit, kick most of there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I do that. I know I can run him, but
I don't know if we're going to fall into that
place where we want to. Okay, we challenge you to
a do you know a w W E fight?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Wow, I'm intimidated, color me intimidated.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So that was Tim Walls, which I thought I was
going to get to not ever have to hear from again,
But he was on Gavin Newsom's podcast the other day.
Our executive producer is a theory that Gavin's bringing on
these leading lights of the Democratic Party to to make
them look dim next to him, which might be his strategy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Actually they make him look laugh, I laughed.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
If you make him looky, make him look reasonable maybe
and and and smart?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Executive producer Hanson also suggested that America is the richer
for having Tim Walls on the scene spouting his nonsense.
And I would agree. He is an amusing ass cloud there.
So his rap is about the Maga crowd, that he's
a maggis in timid his masculinity. Boy, I don't know
(09:02):
if he's reading that old thing, right, I love him.
I'm sure he's reading. And I'm a knucklehead at times.
I think I'd be happier if I could delude myself
to that level. Off they're just mad at me because
I'm so smart or something like that. Yeah, that's why
we're man nailed it. We got to get the unedited
version of that. I think the good folks can handle
(09:24):
Tim Walls.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Saying asses, I think we'll be all right. I hope
we'll be all right.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But he's a good here's a good one for you
as a parent. So my son wants to take a
girl to a movie this weekend. The state of the
of movies is not what it used to be.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Uh everything is either uh R rated or a kid's movie.
There's like nothing in between anymore. For some reason, it's
just the way it is. Or a superhero movie. That's
that's pretty much your choice, is superhero movie, R rated
movie or children's movies.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think it has something to do with the fact
that we're in the age of hyperbole. It's difficult to
break through all the millions of signals wanting our attention
with something that is subtle and you know, just you know,
rich and homespun and you know what I'm saying, and
some onceritysl and a certain number of our movies are
not that are are They're just anyway they want to
(10:25):
go to this one particular movie that I researched, and
it's just there's some scary it's horror film stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Scary horror film stuff. That's why it's rated R. Doesn't
have the hardcore frontal sex in it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Anyway, I was thinking about and I was going to
ask the parents of I take them in there to
the R rated movie, then I leave, I drop them off,
just to get them into the rated movie.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Does anybody do that? That's an interesting question. I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It seems reasonable, if you know, if you've looked into it,
and it's fine. Although, oh, that's right, our is restricted
without your presence. Yeah, I don't know what aren't read there?
What AR means anymore? What does it mean?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I think you gotta leave the law? Oh yeah, yeah,
you've once again defrauded an inch. Yes, Gers Jack was
guilty of years ago. I remember correctly.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It was anybody under seventeen needed to be accompanied by
a parent.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Through the door or throughout the entire movie. That's what
I ad the movie. But I have to hold their
hands and hold their hands. Well, you got to be
ready at any moment to yanks amount of the cen
the film.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Sunfolds, right, cover your eyes, son, cover You're there to
cover their.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
When the film unfolds. Can't have that anyway, if you
have any opinion on that, you can text us. And
we got Katie's headlines on the way four one, five, two, nine,
five kftc.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Age in jumps.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
According to new studies, the two ages where you jump
old the most.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We can get that for you. Maybe next hour on
the Armstrong and Giddisha, or maybe this hour. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
When I'm so old that I no longer can remember,
I might not be around next hour if I jump,
you know too far, Wow, well you'll be missed. But
there are two ages where all of a sudden boom,
you're way older.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
You're gonna want to know what those are.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie, what's happening?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, starting with USA today, Trump to sign order aimed
at eliminating.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
The education Department.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, and that is gonna be uh popular. They've already
reduced the size by half. But the more on that
later and how it began, which I think is key
to the argument of.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Why it should end. Freaking Jimmy Carter, Damn.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Jimmy Carter from ABC Ukraine targets key Russian air base
with quote massive drone attack.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, ain't cease firing yet.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
From NBC, Israeli military launches new ground operation in.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
There's another one that ain't ended yet. Oh no, and
it can't it won't.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
From the New York Post.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Anti Israel protesters push past NYPD to enter World Trade
Center's oculus.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow, I didn't see that. How did the NYPD let
them get by? They overpowered them? Really? Yeah, they were outnumbered.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Up, I'm doing a Katie's Corner and I'll put the
video on there.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
How much longer will America kneel before angry people just
because they're from the left, and only when they're from
the left. From the New York Stot, I just keep
doing it, and you'll see the Democratic Party shrink and
shrink and shrink because normal people see that and they're aghast.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
From the New York Times.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
China executed four Canadians over drug related convictions, a development
that threatens to worsen an already tense relationship.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah, it's not like we in Cana that got along
with China before this, But they executed four Canadians after
Canada said, hey, yeah, don't need to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Why don't you just send a mirror or something they
executed in for them. Wow, don't go to one of
those authoritarian countries and think you can do.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Drugs from the New York Times's that's a that's a
poke in Canada, right, I mean, then that's the point
of that, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, And there's probably.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
A domestic aspect to two sision. Ping is probably trying
to h gin up support at home to look at me,
how I'm standing up to these foreigners. It's like the
opium Wars of the Brits infected us. We're not having
it now. I'm not having it now. I'm standing up
for you China.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
New York Times.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Europe delays tariffs on US whiskey and other goods.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
From younger So many ways to get drunk. I mean,
I have my favorites, don't we all. But if they
like outlawed American whiskey, this final drink, Scotch or Irish
whiskey or whatever, or will huff paint or something. I
realized if you're in the industry, it's terrible. It's disruptive
and probably unnecessary. But yes, I don't think it's as.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Impactful as non drunks think it is I still got
a glue bottle?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I'm fine? Oh boy?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
From Yahoo news man tries to set Tesla chargers on fire,
accidentally sets himself.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
On fire as well.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah good, We got some more on this whole clearly
domestic terrorism issue to talk about later.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
From The Wall Street Journal, a facelift at thirty five,
Why younger women are going under the knife?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Ah interesting that age is a little earlier than one
of the big jumps you make in aging, which we'll
get to later.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
That is so no, no, just no.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
And finally, the Babylon be Democrats say fire at Tesla facility.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Likely caused by climate change.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So, uh, you're wanting you don't want women to look pretty?
Is that what you're going?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Good lord, If you're carving up your face in your
mid thirties, why yeah, but why yeah, well yeah, not
only that, but oh because the natural processes of life
aren't acceptable. And your plan or your point of view
is what he's explained to me, your point of view,
(16:29):
I've just got to stay as hot as I was
at twenty four my entire life.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I was thinking about when I was at the stupid,
Stupid Captain America movie the other day with Harrison Ford
in it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He's a guy who's just aged.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He clearly hasn't had any work done, or at least
he hasn't clearly had work done. He looks like an
old man, and it's so much better than looking like
Kenny Rogers or you know, any of those weirdos who
carve up their faces and become laughing stocks.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He just looks like an old man, which he's supposed
to be. Two. Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I suppose I should be more compassionate for people who
are suffering so acutely over their natural aging that they
that they get this done.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't know. Yeah, that's interesting. We will talk about
the whole aging thing. We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And I do want to talk about this domestic terrorism
that needs to be called out more by mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'll say that Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
And a firm believer that President Trump will run and
went again at twenty twenty eight, so I've already endorsed
President Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
A man like this comes along.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Once every century. If we're lucky, we've got him now.
He's on fire, and I'm a huge supporter. I want
to see him again in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Eight no, right, whatever, Steve benn and what a con man.
Nice trolling, all right, we're trying to get some headlines.
That was a little over the top even for use. Yes,
it was even by his standards, that was too much.
Here are the two ages where you jump in aging,
and then we'll get to the details a little bit
later from this new study that's out. You don't age gradually.
(18:05):
They're like cliffs. And the two ages where you jump
in aging the most, they say are forty and sixty.
Not my experience, true fact, Ding, that's not really my experience,
but you know, your mileage may vary. I don't have
any memory of all of a sudden feeling forty four.
Actually it's forty four and sixty, specifically forty four feeling
(18:28):
great At age forty three, you're windsurfing and mountain climbing,
and I don't know one of all the things you're doing,
and then all of a sudden you're in a wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
You you have it bound down right exactly more on
that list.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's a range, yeh. And my experience aging is a
lot like mountain biking. Jack.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I will explain when we talk about it later on,
but I can attest to at least part of that.
So a couple of absolutely excellent examples of.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
The Justice Department doing what it should do.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
First of all, Pam Bondi has said that Tesla set
on fire, bullets and bombs aimed at showroom and charging
stations are domestic terrorism. A Justice Department crackdown has been announced.
She has announced what she've used as politically motivated attacks
against Tesla and leader Elon Musk when President's most powerful
(19:24):
advisors quote the swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property
is nothing short of domestic terrorism, adding that prosecutors would
pursue federal charges that can carry long mandatory prison sentences
and unlike your say California shoplifting conviction, where you get
sentenced to two years, you know, if you're like a
(19:45):
serial shoplifter and end up serving five and a half
months or what have you not, So with federal sentences,
you do your time.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
A number of people on the right have pointed out
that many of the article are the coverage about the
whole Tesla attacks and the domestic terrorism. There's a yeah,
but can you blame them? I mean, here's why they're
so mad, laying out all the flaws of Elon Musk,
which is something that wouldn't be happening if you had
(20:15):
maga people out there. I don't know what would they
be attacking. I don't know what would maga people attack something. Yeah,
some woke ceo said something. Target stores.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
You know they're setting fire to Target stores back during
the Hey, tell your kid to tuck away his penis
and pretend to be.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
A little girl sale.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The New York Times wouldn't be explaining away, Well, you
can't blame them for being mad, because here's what Target did,
the way they're doing in every article.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And well, I've got a quick example of that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
For many, says The New York Times, the people that
are attacking Tesla dealerships and setting Tesla's on fire. For many,
the deal breaker came when mister Musk made a gesture
that resembled a fascist salute while speaking at a rally
celebrating poet from the Inuguration.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's from The New York Times.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The deal biker for these domestic terrorists were when Elon
Musk waved to the crowd in a weird, autistic way,
and you claimed it was a Nazi salute. That's actually
in the New York Times, and everybody agreed. Anybody with
any conscience agreed, No, that's not what he was doing.
But that was the final straw for many. So domestic
terrorism is okay. You people are just a joke Nazi.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
In the past few weeks alone, federal prosecutors say a
Colorado woman, through molotov cocktails at vehicles at a dealership,
scrawled the word Nazi on one of its signs. I
think it was a rich lowry of The National Review
went through all the ways in which calling Elon Muska
Nazi is hilariously misguided. I won't bother her, but it's idiotic.
(21:47):
Nazi just means anything you don't like. Now, it's like fascist.
An Oregon man file fired bullets and explosives into a
dealership in its cars. In a South Carolina man spray
painted anti Trump messages on a Tesla charging station parking
spot before throwing five homemade bombs at the chargers, torching them.
Inside the man's bedroom, investigators found a purple composition notebook
(22:08):
with a three page handwritten statement that asserted, you know
you never see brevity among maniacs.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Has science ever studied why that's? A fast?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
High editor right right, Hey Jim, you're rambling twenty five
thousand word manifesto, very very compelling, but I feel like
we could tighten it up.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I see your point about the eco terrorism. But this
is a run on sentence.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
So the handwritten statement asserted anti government beliefs and statements
opposed to the Department of Government efficiency. According to court
documents anyway, So Pam Bondi has said, no, this Chisneizzel
will not stand.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It's terrorism.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I mean, if somebody spray paints graffiti on something, they
don't need to spend ten years in the federal pen.
I mean it'll We'll give them a good solid slapping
on the wrist, and you know that's probably good enough.
Can you believe The New York Times, in their big
article about Tesla vandalism, actually said, for some the deal
(23:09):
breaker came when mister Musk made a gesture.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
That resembled a fashion salute. Can you believe that dumb?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It is dumb and nakedly desperate for a rationale.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Have you seen all the pictures and videos where they
have you know, name whoever, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton,
anybody on the left raising their hand like that. At
some point in a crap because you do it all
the time. Oh yeah, you're waving to a friend or
pointing out a bird, whatever you're doing. It doesn't mean
you're a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Reminds me very much, in an odd way of when
Deborah Burks you remember a scarf lady from the COVID
that was there was Those were good times where she
said and it's very very important, do not touch your face,
and touch your face like five times during the speech please,
people routinely wave like that anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, I just.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I am astounded how stupid smart people can be when
their ideology blinds them. Anyway, So the thing was a yes,
nobody in New York Times or anybody else ever pays
off the point of this. So should the Trump administration
(24:21):
get rid of elaon Musk and Doge and stop trying
to cut government because people are setting Tesla's on fire?
In other words, you let people who are violent dictate policy?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Is that what you want? I mean, that's nuts.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
There are somebody on the left who their muscles of
argument are completely atrophied because they are so bubbled, and
they famously don't know any Trump voters, don't know anybody
who knows any Trump voters. They never look at arguments
from the right and anywhere on the right, whether the
(24:55):
Mega writer or the National Review writer or the Wall
Street Journal or the Washington Times. They're just never exposed
to those arguments at all, and so their muscles of
argument I think of atrophied to the point where they say,
you know, that ridiculous stuff about the alleged Nazi salute,
that's absurd. It's not just a weak argument, it's like
a parody.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I thought this was also really really good Trump's epa
versus Biden's dark climate money. A lawsuit may expose how
the Democratic green New Steel really worked. See that I
changed deal into steel like that?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I like that devastating, so, as some the editorial board
at the Journal points out, imagine if Republicans gave the
Trump administration tens of billions of dollars to dole out
to right wing groups to sprinkle around to favorite businesses,
whether they were like related.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
To the alleged goal or not. That's what Democrats did
with the Inflation Reduction Act. The Trump team's effort to
break this spending racket up has led to a court
brawl which could.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Be educational t wit.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
EPA administrator Lee zeld In goal Go recently canceled some
twenty billion dollars in grants that his Biden predecessors there
rushed out to left wing groups from the EPA's Greenhouse
Gas Reduction Fund, which again could literally go to anything.
Democrats established this quasi private green bank in the inflation reduction.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It makes me sick to even call it that.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The Green New dealct to avoid government oversight of climate spending. Specifically,
they structured it the way they did so there would
be no accountability. Mister Zelden claims the freeze is needed
because of substantial concerns regarding program integrity, the award process,
programmatic fraud, waste abuse, and misalignment with the agency's priorities.
(26:42):
And he's right that the program is rife with political conflicts.
For instance, in one example, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund,
the director jih Wise oversaw a five billion dollar grant
to his former employer, Coalition for Green Capital. Through a
bunch more, here's two billion dollars to Power Forward Communities,
(27:04):
an umbrella group of climate outfits that was formed specifically
to receive the money. It was formed in twenty twenty three,
supposedly to finance home energy efficiency upgrades, but the IRA
includes tax credits and other grant programs for this purpose
Power forwards. Real purpose is to spread spread taxpayer funds
(27:25):
to progressives.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
There are a bunch more examples.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It is egregious and shameless, and I say go get
them our two.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We'll get to that hole.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
The way we age thing which is new and I
think it's going to be uh, you know, news you
can use. I don't know how you plan ahead or
I don't know, plan that cross country ski trip before
you turn forty four.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Maybe that's what you do something like that. I don't know.
And also we got mailbag on the way next day
here a strong I y'all do it? Go ahead? The
one glad to hear it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
The big, the big part of the tournament starts today,
right Thursday. I mean, you had some playing games and
all that sort of stuff, but your march man kind
of out of touch with the tournament this year for
some reason. I'll get into it on lots of games today.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, yeah, huh.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm trying to pick the best freedom loving quote of
the day.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Michael. You know, I may go with this one. Teddy
was a really interesting guy.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
He overcame childhood illness and weakness and became perhaps the
world's greatest advocate for hard work and overcoming obstacles and
that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
We're on a first name basis Teddy who Oh sorry,
Teddy Roosevelt is continuing our our series from Theodore Roosevelt
to a number of people have been commenting via email,
so I forget I have to set, but I'll go
with this one. Never throughout history has a man who
lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Wow. Based on talking to my high schooler, he would say,
I don't care. Then perhaps read him this.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
The boy who was going to make a great man
must not make up his mind merely to overcome a
thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand
repulses and defeats.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Count your repulses and defeats. If you're not too a thousand,
You've got to keep striving. Friends. Mailbag wo drops no
mailbag at Armstrong and getty dot com. First of all,
Rich has a comment on the famous quote from Governor
Jerry Brown of cal Unicornia we played yesterday.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Those who have been blessed the most who have disproportionately
attracted by whatever skill, more and more from the national wealth.
They're gonna have to share more of that.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's so freaky perverse. It makes me insane. Anybody who
was going to use so we put in jail. Wow.
Well yeah, the idea of communist you're you're promoting communism,
and I want you out of society. There's a fixed.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Pie of quote national wealth, and anybody who creates a
successful business and earns more money, for instance, has taken money,
not added to the economy, but taken from it.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Good law.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Course, he, like many politicians, ended up really wealthy somehow.
But I guess that doesn't there's nothing wrong with that
kind of wealth, precisely rich rights.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I think we might be taking Jerry's words wrong, all wrong.
According to dogs, there are plenty of people extracting money
from the national wealth. That's the way he sees the world.
Keep up the good work, you keep up the good work, rich.
That's a fine email. Let's see this is from Aaron.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
The Left.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Be kind, humankind, Kindness is everything. Inclusiveness me, I know
what that really means. You want me to align myself
morally and philosophically with gender theory.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
No thanks, I'm not interested.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
The Left die early, you nazi effing maggot scum. Maggot
not spelled in the standard form jack referring to the
larva of the fly, but indeed maga with a tea
at the end, magat scum, which is something a leftist
friend of thirty five years actually said.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
To me a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Wow, kindness, Yeah, yeah, let's see Jeff said this along.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
It is a bit of a meme. I haven't seen
Democrats this mad since we took away their slaves.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
That's that's well, yeah, the Democrats were the party's slavery,
as you remember, I don't.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I don't get a lot of joy out of that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
To me, the roles and identities of the parties have
shifted and switched so many times means century.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And a half.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
If you just want to be mean, though, it's pretty good, eh.
I have been that mad since we took away their slaves.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Eric the Machinist writes on the topic of large televisions.
When my wife and I were television shopping a couple
of years ago, she asked why I wanted the largest
television that would reasonably fit on her living room wall.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
This comes from me going to Costco and seeing they
now have a ninety eight inch television on display.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Ninety eight yes, oh give me.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I told her that some people actually enjoyed coming home
and watching a little television, but I didn't want to
be that guy. It was the first time I actually
heard someone's eyes audibly roll back in their head. Also,
Jack is the only person I've ever heard of that
simultaneously doesn't care about food and has no self control
with it.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Pick a lane, Jack, I'm the same with the TV.
I don't even hardly ever watch television, So why do
I want a ninety eight inch television?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, I've told this story before, but a one hundred
years ago, when we worked in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina,
you spent a couple of days on the air talking
about how you were through a TV. It was stu
but in a waste of time essentially, and then literally
the next day you purchased the biggest TV I had
at that point ever seen in my life. Well, I'm mercurier,
that's my charm. Yes, yes, how Bet, I watched ninety
(33:12):
eight percent of all TV and movies on my phone
on my phone.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Hm.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Wow, let's see on Oswald and Lee R v. Oswald
and the assassination of JFK. And I've got to dig
up more revelations because they're still coming and they're not
like smoking gunnish, Oh my god, but they are so
illustrative of how spycraft worked in the middle part of
the twentieth century and how the CIA was out of control. Anyway,
(33:40):
Jay and San Jose, Right, So I'm listening to all
the experts talk about the new information.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
My guess was it wasn't super complicated.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Seems that the minimum Oswald was an informant for the CIA.
He hears CIA folks lamenting about JFK, who didn't trust
the CIA and fired their boss, and Oswald takes it
on himself to assassinate JFK, maybe to be a hero
to his CIA or Communist friends, who knows not. Some
big play people go rogue sometimes. And he says, you
(34:05):
should do an experiment, run all the documents through chat,
GPT or whatever AI and then ask it what all
this info means about who killed JFK. Ah interesting, that
is interesting. Speaking of which, Darren writes, Hello, gentlemen, just
to make Jack feel more anxious about AI, I can
confidently declare that the age of AI coding has arrived.
(34:25):
The tools that they're rolling out and the employers like
mine are embracing. Now feel like having a dedicated program
or intern that instantly completes any task that you give them. Sure,
you still have to check the work for now, but
prompts like write me some code that does X, y
zor how can I make this code better? Or help
me debug why this system is failing quickly yield quality
code that is integrated into a project with the click
(34:45):
of a button, and suggestions that massively improve productivity. Jack,
please take steps to protect your vital fluids from our
AI overlords.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
The time is at hand.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
That's got to be so disappointing if you're good at coding,
or spend a lot of time learning how to do it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Man times change, he.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Says, KSFTFB keeps searching for that firm bottom.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's my favorite stock market term. And we don't really
have time for this. From Chuck in Vancouver, Washington. But
homeschoolers are under attack, absolutely true. Illinois and Washington State
in particular, attacking homeschooling.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
It to be hest of the evil teachers.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Unions definitely want to talk about this on the day
Trump's going to get rid of the Department of Education.
