Speaker 2 (00:32):
Build it to, Na will Combray, build it to, they
will come. We could have gotten a clip from that
to Baseball Movie better.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's eased just for me to use my little voice.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Come.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
James Earl Jones was among.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Us live from Studio C season.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You're a dimly lit room.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You put them the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Compound and today or under the tutelage of our general
manager Catherine Mayer. That's the blonde headed, awful nightmare of
a woman who's the head of NPR, who was grilled
in front of Congress yesterday. This woman, she is the
face of evil. She is ilsa she wolf of the SS.
(01:15):
She is Stalin's knife wielding mistress. She is evil among us. Wow,
that seems like a lot. The smiling, sexy subverter of
all that is good and decent. Okay, cool, And we
got lots of clips of the hearing from yesterday, and
we'll get into that. And that's some good stuff. If
(01:37):
you're a fan of world class liars, folks, this is
This is the Babe Ruth of liars. This is the
Lance Armstrong of liars. She is the Muhammad Ali of liars.
Stay with us. It's opening day of Major League Baseball,
kind of lots of is every team playing or most
teams playing or I don't even remember how they No,
(01:57):
it's it's back to your complaint and now kind of
just dripples out.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Opening day was last week in Japan in the middle
of the night. Come on MLB, once you get older,
that's the way it works. Facebook, stop it mark the time.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, this field, this game, it's a part of our pastory.
It reminds us all it once was good.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Again.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There you go, uh, crack of the bat, roar of
the crowd, et cetera. We will be out at the
A's game. They're opening. Is that they're opening or just
their home opening, home opening? It's no, it's an opening.
We should know that since we're the home station of it,
and we'll be out there on opening day on broadcasting. There.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yes, Katie, their hoping home opening is one. You will
be there tonight is the opening game against the Mariners.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Gotcha in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
A right, so we'll be there like eleven hours before
the game. For summer, we'll be at a major league
ballpark that only the nineteen thousand people, which is very exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I love Joe's attitude about.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We could be on the Moon or the Empire State
Building or all right, why would we be on the
Empire State Building. I'll be there. Why would we be
in an empty stadium to, you know, to soak in
the drama of opening day? Whatever? Joe, Yeah, Michael wants
us to run the basis. I don't think they want
(03:27):
you need to. I don't think they want disc jockeys
down on the field of the day of a major
league You call me a disc jockey again, I'm gonna
stab you. Uh. You need to take lessons from Catherine
Mayer at Skillful Line.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
To soak up the drama of opening day.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Please not bs abs, sir ah boy, just without getting
into any details, and we don't need to get any
into any.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Details over the next four hours if you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
But is the scandal Trump called it a witch hunt
yesterday around the whole signal app war plans. Thing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Is that growing shrinking stayed the same from yesterday. Depends
how you ask. Maybe stayed the same.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't. I don't know. The only thing I'm hearing
from well, I'm hearing two things from the right side
of the aisle. One, this is nothing. It's a witch hunter.
They're corrupt and incompetent in Jeffrey Goldberg's a liar, which
is just it's ridiculous. And Two our point of view,
why do you keep feeding this? Just say, yeah, it
was a mistake, but no harm was done. We have
(04:37):
a country to protect. No further comment. I do not
understand why they don't take that tack. But you know,
I'm not in charge.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Why any McCarthy leans right. He says they're in trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
This I'm reading from Politico because they've got a list
of people on the right who say this is a problem.
Andy McCarthy said that Piers Morgan, I don't care what
he thinks, but he thinks the Trump administration screwed up.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tommy Laren, who.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
We've shared a stage with Fox Hotty, she says, a
controversial maga ally Laura Lumer, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy,
a handful of others people on the right who are like, please, guys,
come on.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
This is bad.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You should have done that, so right, and just say
so and move on. I don't again, stop feeding the beast. Yeah, now,
I am certainly not on the side of the left
who wants a scalp or a resignation or a firing
or whatever. You know, they made a mistake that seemed
to have no significant repercussions. Thank god. Let's see how that. Yeah,
(05:39):
thank god? Is the idea well that lack of judgment
is a fatal indictment, Well, that's in the ivy beholder,
I say not really, Yeah, I just I don't know,
move on. I was watching Fox and Friends and Brian
Kilmead was making the point that the day after we
attacked the Hooties and it was the largest military extra
(06:00):
size of Trump's second term, which only a couple months old,
but still.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And worth noting, long long, long overdue.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh, absolutely completely justified, easily justified. But got no news coverage.
Kill Mead was pointing out. He said, the next day
he came into work and he's like, there's like page
fifteen of the New York Times. Nobody was talking about it.
He got no coverage, Nobody cared, even though it was
a pretty big deal. It got no coverage. Now all
of a sudden, it's at what time did the plane
leave the you know, all that sort of stuff like it.
(06:28):
Now it's a utmost you know, national importance. And hey,
there are some of you folks who are like, hey,
and gee, why are you criticizing the execution of the
given all the the bias and the scalp hunting and
the utter double standards and the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I feel your pain, I get it. I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't operate that way just because Joe Biden did
this or that or whatever, and making the list one
hundred things that they did that were awful and light
about and the media covered up all true. But I
can't stand here and pretend that it's not a private
those are that those weren't war plans. I'm not going
to go along with that. That's ridiculous. Mm hmm. Yeah.
I can't believe it came America or bad for America,
(07:08):
bad for America clearly, So let's clean it up.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, I agree, let it die somehow.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I can't believe that Hegzeth came out yesterday and argued
with people like force Fee like how dare you call
those war plans again yesterday? Go on, dude, all right, anyway,
I gotta believe in a week it'll be gone and and.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
If you'll all barely remember it even happened.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I just think it's refreshing that there's a story that
stayed in the national consciousness.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
For two days.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's a long run these days.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, we should start to show officially, because we got
a really good clip for you to give you a
little flavor of what we got coming up. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this opening day of Major League Baseball.
It is Thursday, March twenty seventh, the year twenty twenty five.
Where I'm strong in getting we approve of this program. Okay,
let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations,
here's the ceremony. You'll first pitch at. Mark, let me
(08:02):
ask you, why did you call President Trump a fascist
and a deranged racist sociopath in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I regret
those tweets. I would not tweet them again today. They
represented a time where I was reflecting on something that
I believe that the president had said, rather than who
he is, I don't presume that anyone is a racist.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Which you don't believe anyone is a racist.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I don't start by presuming anyone as a racist.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Sir. All right, that's that's a good clip. There's Catherine
Mayer there before Congress.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
There's a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And how does someone who tweets out things like you know,
the current president who won the popular vote and blah
blah blah it tweets out things like he's a racist
in the psychosaptic ranged racist running pr well, right, and
then she says that was a time in my life
(08:58):
when I was reflecting on blah blah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, then you don't have the judgment to run anything, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There are other clips which you will hear, in which
she tweeted out white people are evil and it should
pay reparations. I just read this great book and it
makes a powerful case everyone should read it. And then
the congressman says what about this? And she says, I
don't recall reading that book. Did I tweet that? I
doubt it. I don't know. I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Liar America hating scum.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, so I mean I listened to NPR almost to
just see how far are they going to take this
story in one direction? So this morning, this is not
an important news story, but I thought it's kind of interesting.
Megan Markle, Harry's wife, Oh, has got a new show,
and it's at least six weeks since I heard that name,
and you ruined the streak. She wants to be called
(09:49):
Meghan of Whales now or something like that, and I thought, okay, great,
you can say whatever you want. I'll call you whatever
I want. So, but Megan Markle's got a new show.
I would like to be called Joe of Illinois. I'd
prefer be no Joseph Joseph. No Joseph Joseph of Illinois.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And I go with Jack the Great. Just call me
Jack the Great.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So Megan Marcles, she's got this new show and it's
getting a lot of critical clapback. I mean it's getting
beat up fairly good, like in social media and everything
like that. And they got into a bit of an
argument on NPR, the host and then the guest that
they had on, because the guest said the pushback against
Megan Markle is racism, but the host said, I have
(10:32):
to push back on you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I think it's sexism.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh, that's beautiful, funny, because it couldn't be that the
show is craft or that she's just an insufferable presence
by everybody. Remember South Park, Tod that whole episode leave
us it alone.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Just everybody hates it. They're so hateable, shut out Meg.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But if you're if you're mocking her stupid, stupid show, Uh,
is it racism or sexism? I'm sorry, I got to
push back againto racism. Claim it's sexyst Oh that is precious,
And I thought, okay, this is the NPR that just
yesterday and from of Congress. They're trying to claim we're
not bias. We're just we're trying to you know, we're
presenting the news. Ah, that's funny. We've got Katie's headlines
(11:18):
on the way, We've got mailbag this hour. There's some
weird stuff going with the peace talks with Ukraine and Russia.
But really those clips from the hearing yesterday in NPR.
If you're an NPR hater, you're gonna love this so much,
so I hope you can stick around for that. Our
text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It is spring Baseball's here.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Who's expected to win the Dodgers, who have spent twice
as much as the next closest team and ten times
as much as the average baseball team to have all
the best players?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Is that who's their favorite?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Serious concern that baseball has ruined itself through its fiscal policies,
lack of a salary cap, et cetera. As indeed, there
are teams that are spending eight ten times as much
as the low level teams. It'sta haves and have nots.
Jack Right might have to take a look at that later.
I think we will. Yeah, it's pretty interesting and as
(12:14):
baseball fan, I think there is trouble at Bruin like
college sports is coming apart. It seems the signs are there.
We'll touch on that briefly. The NCAA men's basketball tournament
is proof. Anyway, plenty to talk about today. Let's figure
out who's reporting what it's the lead story with Katie
Green Katie.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Thank you, guys. Starting with NBC.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Trump threatens quote far larger tariffs on EU and Canada
if they unite to do quote.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Economic harm to the United States.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, you know, not to jump to one of your
other headlines. But the twenty five percent tariff on all
cars coming in in parts, which kicks in April first,
just a couple of days. WHOA, what is that going
to do to the car market? Or it doesn't, or
it will exclude the countries with whom we have trade agreements,
or it will include them but exclude spare parts or
(13:05):
something something something nobody's really sure.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
For ABC News, Trump says US will go quote as
far as we have to to get control of Greenland.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. Man, I read some quotes yesterday from him, and
I mean it's he doesn't leave any wiggle room on that.
We got to have Greenland. The world has changed and
it's just we have to have it. So it will happen. Coolkie.
This will be interesting to see unfold, as.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
It will from CNN. HHS to cut.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Ten thousand employees in major overhaul of health agencies.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Is this a doge thing or were they going to
do it anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
There are a number of stories out about Medicare and
it's mispayment of this, that and the other, totally many
tens of billions of dollars. It's really quite astounding how
corrupt and wasteful it is as an institution, and the
fact that it got no scrutiny at all during the
last administration, it's a I wish. I wish people were
(14:11):
more aware of the lack of something like when the
Democrats have the White House, how could you not want
to scrutinize, you know, something expenditure is enormous as medicare
and make more efficient what it does because that frees
up other It's just utter incompetence and apathy about taxpayer dollars.
(14:32):
But the lack of that story for the previous four years,
people don't notice.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
From the free Beacon, NPR CEO who called Trump a deranged,
racist psychopath tells Congress there's no political bias a taxpayer funded,
taxpayer funded broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
For them to state that there's no political bias at
NPR and PBS.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Is just hilarious. I mean, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And I always ask you the same question, do they
believe that are they so where they are politically that
they think they're representing mainstream America? In the case of
evil She Devil Catherine Mayer, No, she does not believe that.
She is the classic example of what we're always talking
about You've got the activist class that knows precisely what
(15:20):
they're doing, and then the soft heads who are persuaded
by their duplicitous arguments and go along with it because
they think it makes them good people. But no, she
is evil.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
From the Washington Post amid the rubble of Gaza protesters
speak out against Tamas.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, that's amazing. Hundreds of people marching and chanting out
with Hamas. We don't want to die. And that's courage,
I'd say.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You know, hey, hey, college kids with the mask around
your face on your own campus, surrounded by people who
agree with you, those protesters are really putting it on
the line. And that's where they're protesting against Hamas. Huh,
what do you think of that? Muffy and Jimmy Muffy,
but mostly Muffy, mostly Muffy. Muffy's getting a graduate degree
(16:07):
in some sort of studies. F you angry, angry Muffy,
F you Muffy, Amen to that. That's the armstrung you
getdy t shirt available by this afternoon. Few Muffy.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
From study fines.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Scientists create robot that can walk right off the three
D printer, no electronics required.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What it's alive it's a live and I need more,
I'd say, oh, it's in hot links.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You can find it their at Armstrong getdy dot com.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
All right from the Babylon b State Farm now offering
optional quote car torched by psychotic purple haired weirdo coverage.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
A little rider on your policy. Yeah that's smart. Dang,
it's smart boy. The point's been made by exactly points
been made by uh plenty of folks. So in like
a year they've gone from everyone must drive an electric
car too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm setting fire to electric.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Car and people wonder why they get no respect idiots.
The NPR hearing was something we got some highlights for you.
I guarantee you're gonna like Armstrong and Getty. So I
mock these stupid congressional hearings all the time. They are
often like most of the time, like practically all the time,
a waste of time and nothing has learned. But that
(17:30):
is not the case yesterday. In my opinion, with talking
to the leader of NPR, what do you think I
would agree it was an excellent opportunity to expose a
truly evil person for her true evil, and I think
that was done. I'm not sure how many people will
see or hear this, but I'm glad it happened. Well,
(17:51):
we had the clip of her a couple of years ago,
I mean when she was named to lead NPR and
there was that clip going around from a Ted talk
where she discussed, you know, the truth is getting in
the way these days of the truth is a distraction
from us accomplishing what we need to accomplish. Right, so
we already knew. She added weird views of the world.
(18:11):
But anyway, this is Representative Brandon Gill and his questioning
of the leader of NPR and a hearing yesterday, and
it's all about trying to justify two Republicans why they
should get federal funding. That's you know, it's kind of
a doge thing. But here we go.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
last half decade.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't
be able to.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Say, Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder?
And White Democracy.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I don't believe that, sir.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You tweeted reference to a book you were reading at
the time, apparently the Case for Reparations.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You tweeted about it. You said you took a day
off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put
that on Twitter in January twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I apologies, I don't recall that.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I didn't no doubt that your tweet there is correct,
but I don't recall that.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay, is it possible to forget reading a long nonfiction book.
I don't think so that you tweeted I've taken the
day off to read this scarely. No. Now occasionally I will,
you know, have the punchline last, and then sometimes I announce,
you know, I'm gonna break format and do the punchline first.
This is true Joe Getty innovation. Here's the punchline in
(19:39):
the beginning part of the middle. Here's what you need
to remember as you listen to the rest of these clips.
And this is a quote from James Lindsay. Marxists just lie.
They lie so overtly and blatantly that people begin to
question their own perceptions. It works because no one expects
another person to lie so overtly. They don't believe shared truth.
(20:00):
They use words as weapons. Until you learn to keep
this in mind during interaction, you will get continue to
get played. They rely on you implicitly assuming that they
have good intentions and are aiming at shared truth, and
so dialogue can be productive. That's a deception. For Marxists
like Catherine Mayer, dialogue is not a way of attaining truth.
It is a form for manipulation. She is lying every word.
(20:26):
Well you think we got a Marxist running in pr
oh one hundred percent? Well certainly? Well, yeah, a neo Marxist,
and that she believes Western civilization should be torn down.
She believes absolutely every single thing that she's asked about
and denies in this herac and Sary Moore.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Do you believe that white people and inherently feel superior
to other races? I do not. You don't. You tweeted
something to that effect. You said I grew up feeling superior. Ha,
how wide of me? Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to be to grow up in an en where I
had lots of advantages.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I
was just reflecting on my own experiences.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Do you think that white people should pay reparations?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I've never said that, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What kind of reparations was it a reference to.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I think it was just a reference to the idea
that we all owe much to the people who came
before us.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Right. That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay,
how many how much reparations have you personally paid?
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Sir?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Okay, just for everybody else, I'm not asking anyone. Seems
to be what you're suggesting.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I heard that I was not very familiar with Brandon Gill.
He is at the top of my list now of
guys to support and keep an eye on I will
contribute to his reelection campaign. That is, he could barely
stop himself from giggling at one point because he was
just astounded at the blatancy of her lying, Well, we're
(22:15):
supposed to believe that a highly educated woman in the
news business is not familiar with the term reparations and
how it's normally used. No, when I use reparations, I
just mean we owe them something. I don't mean, I know,
a debt to those who's come before us. No reparations.
Oh that's what that means. Oh, what did you mean? Money?
(22:37):
Even though I guarantee I could find eight hundred versions
of them covering the California reparation story and all the
money involved. Take it home, Brandon, take it home, buddy.
Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
it as counterproductive.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
I think it should be prosecuted.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You believe it's wrong, though, of course, of course, then
why did you refer to it as counterproductive? A very different,
very different way to describe it.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as
being tweeted.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
It's hard to be mad about protests in reference to
the BLM protests not prioritizing the private property of a
system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting, you said
that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted a book
called in Defensive Looting. Do you think that that's an
appropriate use of taxpayer dollars?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
that was at.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Tweeted that you read that book.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
But I don't believe that I did read that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh my god, yeah, oh my god, that is something
the person running in PR is in that furthest gosh,
maybe half percent of Americans' political views. Yes, yeah, she
is an avowed would be destroyer of American and Western civilization.
(23:59):
She has dedicated her life to that goal. I am
one hundred percent confident of that statement. Well, and then
then what's the structure of NPR that gave her that job.
I mean, I don't know how the board works, or
the hiring process or whatever. What is Obviously people that
wanted someone like her, and then you got all kinds
of people who work beneath her who have gone along
(24:19):
with all of that and been fine with it. Apparently
except for that one guy whatever his name was, in
DC that remember he quit, He resigned, and he let
us all know that that was a break. After leinner,
he was talking about how NPR had changed over the
years that he had been there, and but yeah, so
you've got an entire structure that has to exist for
(24:41):
her to be in charge of it for multiple years.
Excellent point. Yeah, the problem is not her per sae.
It reminds me of what I was saying. Remember when
Clouding Gay of Stanford University was in the process of
being run out of town, partly for being a serial
plagiarizer and an undistinguished academic, and people were like, how
(25:02):
is she the president of Harvard? That seems like a
bad decision. I was trying to communicate with people. She's
not president in spite of her being a mindless parrot
of woke doctrine. She's president of Harvard because of that.
That's how she got the job. And of course she's
a plagiarizer. The entire field of woke social science is
(25:27):
repeating the religious incantations of that secular religion.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So no, you're not supposed to break ground, you're supposed
to repeat it.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You know what I would like to know did NPR
cover this at all? Did they cover this in twenty
four hours or did they present it didn't happen. Well, Katie,
if you have a minute to dig into that, I'd
love to hear that. And if they, if they reported it,
how did they handle it right?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Did I see this on the evening newscast last night?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Dang it? I took in so much news because I
saw this footing around clips on Twitter with people who
lean right just absolutely loving all this stuff. But I
don't know if it made CBS Evening News, ABC Evening
News at all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It should.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I know, people like nice, smart people who are friends
of mine, who like look at me wide eyed, like
I'm some sort of nut. If I suggest that NPR
is biased, even to suggest that it's biased, let alone
anywhere within her realm, which is beyond biased, you're into
crazyville the stuff she's talking about. But I suggest that, well, NPR,
(26:35):
you know, and they just they look at me like
I'm some sort of right wing, crazy conspiracy person. To
think NBR is biased, well, isn't to that woman? Wow,
the power of perspective, it's amazing. You can't overestimate how
important it is. Katie's answer to my query right after
a word for our friends, that's simply say own security.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Use that as a tease.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Katie's answer next, I feel like I already did that,
but you know whatever. So traditional security systems take action
after someone smashed in your door and broken your windows.
Isn't that helpful? No, that's too late. Simply safe, active
guard outdoor protection can help prevent breakings before they happen.
You got your AI powered cameras backed by live professional
(27:18):
monitoring agents who monitor your property to take suspicious activity.
Somebody's lurking around acting suspiciously, those agents can talk to
them in real time, activate spotlights, call the cops before
the smashings and bashians. Now only twenty seconds till Katie's
answer with simply safe.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
It's about a dollar a day.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
No contract.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You can have a clock in the corner of the screen,
right one. It's radio, but so y'all wouldn't see it.
But anyway back to you jack about a dollar day
for simply safety. They don't make you sign contracts because
they believe you're gonna like the thing. They don't need
to lock you in for a couple of years. Love
it monitoring plans that we're talking about start affordably around
a bucket day. Visit simply safe dot com slash Armstrong.
(27:59):
You get fifty percent off a new system with professional
monitoring plan and your first month is free. That's simplysafe
dot com slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe now.
Arm Kadi's answer.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Going to NPR dot com.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Their head story is Trump officials downplay the signal leak,
of course. Then down to the bottom left corner of
the screen. Four takeaways from PBS and NPR's testimony on
Capitol Hill, which I clicked on, and it says NPR
CEO and PBS appeared Wednesday before a House subcommittee on
(28:39):
Government Efficiency where they defended public broadcasting against accusations by
Republican lawmakers of political bias.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What those Republicans accusation?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But that's just hilarious accusation. They defended themselves against accusations
of bias. Is like Jack Armstrong defended himself against accusations
of baldness.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's just what. It's right there.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You can see it, so everybody knows it's it's JJ
Watt defending himself against accusations of tackling people.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Right, you guys have the four takeaways.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, I'm interested in that.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, here they are.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
One, Republicans say they've lost trust in NPR and PBS
to to provide balanced coverage half.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
To two thirds of the country, is there?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Okay? Yes?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Number two, public criticism from a former NPR editor acted
as a blueprint for Republicans.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Didn't need a blueprint. You're condescending bitches. Sorry. Oh that
was way over the folks. I am so sir.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I get so fired up about this stuff.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
I love Joe does that.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Number Three Democrats say Republicans are trying to distract from
real news and shut down contrary opinions.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's right. So if anything more important, even if I
were to confess that is clearly more important than that.
That means you can't do the second thing. Honey, the
house is on fire and our son is a heroin
addict murderer. Don't you bother me with that whole heroin
addict murder stuff. We've got to ignore that because the
house is a fire. Oh okay, Oh, got my mistake. Okay,
(30:22):
So we got more clips from this, like jim Jordan
getting in her shorts and all that sort of stuff coming.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Up a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Gah, there Jimmy Joe's mailbag on the way, and we'll
leave you with the leader of NPR's view of the truth.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Perhaps, for our.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince
others of the truth might not be the right place
to start. In fact, our reference for the truth might
be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding
common ground and getting things done.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Wow, she should be.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now, Michael, I know you got diabetes.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But the executive producer handsOn is raving about the cookies
out there. It says they are absolutely excellent. Yeah, I
got to stay away from it. Christina's husband made Oh jeez,
what a.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Species are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What kind of cookie? What kind of cookie was it?
Hanson white chocolate? Okay with Macadamian knots? Perhaps, Yeah, lightful,
absolutely subtle. We have got more from the NPR hearings
that are just mind blowing, So we'll get to that
a little bit later. I mean it makes a big
it's a big deal to us. You know, we're in
(31:33):
the radio business and they're very successful radio outfit NPR.
They do well in every city in America for a
variety of reasons, including they don't need commercials. But god,
is it ridiculous. Well, they have huge budgets. Yeah, yeah,
And you know, all of that is interesting to me.
What I really care about is that they're misleading the
minds and hearts of Americans and perverting them with the
(31:55):
self hatred. Anyway, more on that to come. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. It's actually a series
of freedom hating quotes of the day, he sent along
by alert listener Jeremy. I love this. People do this
now and again taking a look at the other side
of the coin. Here's a super progressive provost to King's
College at Cambridge in Britain in nineteen sixty seven, Edmund Leitch,
(32:18):
The family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is
the source of all our discontents. Wow, here's one from
Adolf Hitler, Michael, if you must, what luck for rulers
that men do not think? So what do you do
with that? You think? You dig, you learn, you speak?
(32:39):
And then finally this from Joseph Stalin, The people who
cast the votes don't decide an election the people who
count the votes due. That's a good one, and.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That is a really good one. Thanks Jeremy.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Nice job. Mailbag, drop us note mail bag Armstrong and
getty dot com is the email address. Idiot media, writes Antonio.
The weather doppler radar misreported. Local doppler shows no rain.
It's raining hard outside, folks. The lies disinformation now right, deceit.
(33:10):
It might just be in competence, you know, a militant
about the bed for you know, I am about meteor
Aloich just arely. Oh don't they just start speaking of Stalin.
They just want to see the world burn. Oh my god.
I shouldn't have brought it up side Joe Bob writes
on the signal scandal. I've been fired from good jobs
(33:31):
for much less than the mistake made by Waltz. I'm
not sure he should be fired for that, but I
think the lies under oath should be fireable offenses for sure.
If there were lies and then we got this gotten
several like this, Bob says, you continue to give oxygen
something that is not consequential. That's why it's still alive.
If you talk about something else, then it moves on
don't be part of the mainstream media. You're ignoring far
(33:52):
more consequential stories. If you keep talking about it, or
if you stop talking about it, it will die. Two things, Bob.
Number one, we are not ignoring far more consequential stories.
We have four hours and we deal with a lot
of different stuff. And secondly, I wish we had that
much influence, but we don't. We're commenting on the game
being played. We're trying to learn it, we're trying to
(34:14):
understand it. Not just cheerleading all the time. But you
know it's not for everybody. Kevin from Beautiful Plastic, Plasterville, California.
Just as a lot of news that you get on
the news, we get on the news just because it's interesting.
You don't find it interesting that they have a when
they're discussing war plans, they get together on a commercial
(34:34):
chat thing like that.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I found that fascinating. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Accidentally include Jeffrey Goldberg, although I have a theory on
that I want to share next hour and I'm pretty
confident about it. But yeah, we don't always cheerlead. We
just find things interesting and want to understand what's happening
around here. At the Armstrong and Getty Show. Anyway, Hey,
Big Freedom and Old Simple Jack? Do I have this right?
What we learned from the World Happiness ratings methodology We
(34:57):
talked about this hour four in the show I Think
yesterday if you didn't catch it Gravit Fi podcast Armstrong
and Getty on demand our four Yes dray My one
mob review scintillating what we learned from the World Happiness
ratings methodology is that Scandinavian socialism doesn't create happiness. It
creates hopelessness, as in no hopes or aspirations for making
a better life for oneself. I guess if you're living
(35:19):
as a quasi surf working as state supported job until
you retire on a government pension, you probably see that
as the pinnacle of life's possibilities. I guess this helps
explain why nearly every major company founded in the last
fifty years as American not European. We hear in the
States still have the entrepreneurial spirit to go out and
make a better life. Being high on the World Happiness
Ratings sounds like an economic death knell. Anyway, Oh and two,
(35:44):
and we don't have time to play the you'll frequently
hear people, especially on emails. Hey sign off with anyway?
Oh and two, why don't we kick off next hour
if you've never heard that before season with a full context,
a tribute to the national pastime, the great Vince Skull
and this fabulous country, and a shot at socialism all
in one clip. Yes, it's fantastic. If you don't get
(36:07):
that segment or hour for whatever reason, get our podcast,
Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
There's a lot of news today. I hope you can
stick around
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong
and Jettie and now he arms ronge.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Build it to, Na will Combray, build it to, they
will come. We could have gotten a clip from that
to Baseball Movie better.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's eased just for me to use my little voice.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Come.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
James Earl Jones was among.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Us live from Studio C season.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You're a dimly lit room.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You put them the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Compound and today or under the tutelage of our general
manager Catherine Mayer. That's the blonde headed, awful nightmare of
a woman who's the head of NPR, who was grilled
in front of Congress yesterday. This woman, she is the
face of evil. She is ilsa she wolf of the SS.
(01:15):
She is Stalin's knife wielding mistress. She is evil among us. Wow,
that seems like a lot. The smiling, sexy subverter of
all that is good and decent. Okay, cool, And we
got lots of clips of the hearing from yesterday, and
we'll get into that. And that's some good stuff. If
(01:37):
you're a fan of world class liars, folks, this is
This is the Babe Ruth of liars. This is the
Lance Armstrong of liars. She is the Muhammad Ali of liars.
Stay with us. It's opening day of Major League Baseball,
kind of lots of is every team playing or most
teams playing or I don't even remember how they No,
(01:57):
it's it's back to your complaint and now kind of
just dripples out.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Opening day was last week in Japan in the middle
of the night. Come on MLB, once you get older,
that's the way it works. Facebook, stop it mark the time.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, this field, this game, it's a part of our pastory.
It reminds us all it once was good.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Again.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There you go, uh, crack of the bat, roar of
the crowd, et cetera. We will be out at the
A's game. They're opening. Is that they're opening or just
their home opening, home opening? It's no, it's an opening.
We should know that since we're the home station of it,
and we'll be out there on opening day on broadcasting. There.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yes, Katie, their hoping home opening is one. You will
be there tonight is the opening game against the Mariners.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Gotcha in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
A right, so we'll be there like eleven hours before
the game. For summer, we'll be at a major league
ballpark that only the nineteen thousand people, which is very exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I love Joe's attitude about.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We could be on the Moon or the Empire State
Building or all right, why would we be on the
Empire State Building. I'll be there. Why would we be
in an empty stadium to, you know, to soak in
the drama of opening day? Whatever? Joe, Yeah, Michael wants
us to run the basis. I don't think they want
(03:27):
you need to. I don't think they want disc jockeys
down on the field of the day of a major
league You call me a disc jockey again, I'm gonna
stab you. Uh. You need to take lessons from Catherine
Mayer at Skillful Line.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
To soak up the drama of opening day.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Please not bs abs, sir ah boy, just without getting
into any details, and we don't need to get any
into any.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Details over the next four hours if you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
But is the scandal Trump called it a witch hunt
yesterday around the whole signal app war plans. Thing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Is that growing shrinking stayed the same from yesterday. Depends
how you ask. Maybe stayed the same.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I don't. I don't know. The only thing I'm hearing
from well, I'm hearing two things from the right side
of the aisle. One, this is nothing. It's a witch hunter.
They're corrupt and incompetent in Jeffrey Goldberg's a liar, which
is just it's ridiculous. And Two our point of view,
why do you keep feeding this? Just say, yeah, it
was a mistake, but no harm was done. We have
(04:37):
a country to protect. No further comment. I do not
understand why they don't take that tack. But you know,
I'm not in charge.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Why any McCarthy leans right. He says they're in trouble.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
This I'm reading from Politico because they've got a list
of people on the right who say this is a problem.
Andy McCarthy said that Piers Morgan, I don't care what
he thinks, but he thinks the Trump administration screwed up.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Tommy Laren, who.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
We've shared a stage with Fox Hotty, she says, a
controversial maga ally Laura Lumer, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy,
a handful of others people on the right who are like, please, guys,
come on.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
This is bad.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You should have done that, so right, and just say
so and move on. I don't again, stop feeding the beast. Yeah, now,
I am certainly not on the side of the left
who wants a scalp or a resignation or a firing
or whatever. You know, they made a mistake that seemed
to have no significant repercussions. Thank god. Let's see how that. Yeah,
(05:39):
thank god? Is the idea well that lack of judgment
is a fatal indictment, Well, that's in the ivy beholder,
I say not really, Yeah, I just I don't know,
move on. I was watching Fox and Friends and Brian
Kilmead was making the point that the day after we
attacked the Hooties and it was the largest military extra
(06:00):
size of Trump's second term, which only a couple months old,
but still.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And worth noting, long long, long overdue.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh, absolutely completely justified, easily justified. But got no news coverage.
Kill Mead was pointing out. He said, the next day
he came into work and he's like, there's like page
fifteen of the New York Times. Nobody was talking about it.
He got no coverage, Nobody cared, even though it was
a pretty big deal. It got no coverage. Now all
of a sudden, it's at what time did the plane
leave the you know, all that sort of stuff like it.
(06:28):
Now it's a utmost you know, national importance. And hey,
there are some of you folks who are like, hey,
and gee, why are you criticizing the execution of the
given all the the bias and the scalp hunting and
the utter double standards and the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I feel your pain, I get it. I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't operate that way just because Joe Biden did
this or that or whatever, and making the list one
hundred things that they did that were awful and light
about and the media covered up all true. But I
can't stand here and pretend that it's not a private
those are that those weren't war plans. I'm not going
to go along with that. That's ridiculous. Mm hmm. Yeah.
I can't believe it came America or bad for America,
(07:08):
bad for America clearly, So let's clean it up.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, I agree, let it die somehow.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I can't believe that Hegzeth came out yesterday and argued
with people like force Fee like how dare you call
those war plans again yesterday? Go on, dude, all right, anyway,
I gotta believe in a week it'll be gone and and.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
If you'll all barely remember it even happened.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I just think it's refreshing that there's a story that
stayed in the national consciousness.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
For two days.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's a long run these days.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, we should start to show officially, because we got
a really good clip for you to give you a
little flavor of what we got coming up. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this opening day of Major League Baseball.
It is Thursday, March twenty seventh, the year twenty twenty five.
Where I'm strong in getting we approve of this program. Okay,
let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations,
here's the ceremony. You'll first pitch at. Mark, let me
(08:02):
ask you, why did you call President Trump a fascist
and a deranged racist sociopath in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Congressman, I appreciate the opportunity to address this. I regret
those tweets. I would not tweet them again today. They
represented a time where I was reflecting on something that
I believe that the president had said, rather than who
he is, I don't presume that anyone is a racist.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Which you don't believe anyone is a racist.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
I don't start by presuming anyone as a racist.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Sir. All right, that's that's a good clip. There's Catherine
Mayer there before Congress.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
There's a lot of them.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And how does someone who tweets out things like you know,
the current president who won the popular vote and blah
blah blah it tweets out things like he's a racist
in the psychosaptic ranged racist running pr well, right, and
then she says that was a time in my life
(08:58):
when I was reflecting on blah blah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, then you don't have the judgment to run anything, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There are other clips which you will hear, in which
she tweeted out white people are evil and it should
pay reparations. I just read this great book and it
makes a powerful case everyone should read it. And then
the congressman says what about this? And she says, I
don't recall reading that book. Did I tweet that? I
doubt it. I don't know. I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Liar America hating scum.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, so I mean I listened to NPR almost to
just see how far are they going to take this
story in one direction? So this morning, this is not
an important news story, but I thought it's kind of interesting.
Megan Markle, Harry's wife, Oh, has got a new show,
and it's at least six weeks since I heard that name,
and you ruined the streak. She wants to be called
(09:49):
Meghan of Whales now or something like that, and I thought, okay, great,
you can say whatever you want. I'll call you whatever
I want. So, but Megan Markle's got a new show.
I would like to be called Joe of Illinois. I'd
prefer be no Joseph Joseph. No Joseph Joseph of Illinois.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
And I go with Jack the Great. Just call me
Jack the Great.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So Megan Marcles, she's got this new show and it's
getting a lot of critical clapback. I mean it's getting
beat up fairly good, like in social media and everything
like that. And they got into a bit of an
argument on NPR, the host and then the guest that
they had on, because the guest said the pushback against
Megan Markle is racism, but the host said, I have
(10:32):
to push back on you a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I think it's sexism.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh, that's beautiful, funny, because it couldn't be that the
show is craft or that she's just an insufferable presence
by everybody. Remember South Park, Tod that whole episode leave
us it alone.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Just everybody hates it. They're so hateable, shut out Meg.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But if you're if you're mocking her stupid, stupid show, Uh,
is it racism or sexism? I'm sorry, I got to
push back againto racism. Claim it's sexyst Oh that is precious,
And I thought, okay, this is the NPR that just
yesterday and from of Congress. They're trying to claim we're
not bias. We're just we're trying to you know, we're
presenting the news. Ah, that's funny. We've got Katie's headlines
(11:18):
on the way, We've got mailbag this hour. There's some
weird stuff going with the peace talks with Ukraine and Russia.
But really those clips from the hearing yesterday in NPR.
If you're an NPR hater, you're gonna love this so much,
so I hope you can stick around for that. Our
text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It is spring Baseball's here.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Who's expected to win the Dodgers, who have spent twice
as much as the next closest team and ten times
as much as the average baseball team to have all
the best players?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Is that who's their favorite?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Serious concern that baseball has ruined itself through its fiscal policies,
lack of a salary cap, et cetera. As indeed, there
are teams that are spending eight ten times as much
as the low level teams. It'sta haves and have nots.
Jack Right might have to take a look at that later.
I think we will. Yeah, it's pretty interesting and as
(12:14):
baseball fan, I think there is trouble at Bruin like
college sports is coming apart. It seems the signs are there.
We'll touch on that briefly. The NCAA men's basketball tournament
is proof. Anyway, plenty to talk about today. Let's figure
out who's reporting what it's the lead story with Katie
Green Katie.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Thank you, guys. Starting with NBC.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Trump threatens quote far larger tariffs on EU and Canada
if they unite to do quote.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Economic harm to the United States.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, you know, not to jump to one of your
other headlines. But the twenty five percent tariff on all
cars coming in in parts, which kicks in April first,
just a couple of days. WHOA, what is that going
to do to the car market? Or it doesn't, or
it will exclude the countries with whom we have trade agreements,
or it will include them but exclude spare parts or
(13:05):
something something something nobody's really sure.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
For ABC News, Trump says US will go quote as
far as we have to to get control of Greenland.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. Man, I read some quotes yesterday from him, and
I mean it's he doesn't leave any wiggle room on that.
We got to have Greenland. The world has changed and
it's just we have to have it. So it will happen. Coolkie.
This will be interesting to see unfold, as.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
It will from CNN. HHS to cut.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Ten thousand employees in major overhaul of health agencies.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Is this a doge thing or were they going to
do it anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
There are a number of stories out about Medicare and
it's mispayment of this, that and the other, totally many
tens of billions of dollars. It's really quite astounding how
corrupt and wasteful it is as an institution, and the
fact that it got no scrutiny at all during the
last administration, it's a I wish. I wish people were
(14:11):
more aware of the lack of something like when the
Democrats have the White House, how could you not want
to scrutinize, you know, something expenditure is enormous as medicare
and make more efficient what it does because that frees
up other It's just utter incompetence and apathy about taxpayer dollars.
(14:32):
But the lack of that story for the previous four years,
people don't notice.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
From the free Beacon, NPR CEO who called Trump a deranged,
racist psychopath tells Congress there's no political bias a taxpayer funded,
taxpayer funded broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
For them to state that there's no political bias at
NPR and PBS.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Is just hilarious. I mean, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And I always ask you the same question, do they
believe that are they so where they are politically that
they think they're representing mainstream America? In the case of
evil She Devil Catherine Mayer, No, she does not believe that.
She is the classic example of what we're always talking
about You've got the activist class that knows precisely what
(15:20):
they're doing, and then the soft heads who are persuaded
by their duplicitous arguments and go along with it because
they think it makes them good people. But no, she
is evil.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
From the Washington Post amid the rubble of Gaza protesters
speak out against Tamas.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, that's amazing. Hundreds of people marching and chanting out
with Hamas. We don't want to die. And that's courage,
I'd say.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You know, hey, hey, college kids with the mask around
your face on your own campus, surrounded by people who
agree with you, those protesters are really putting it on
the line. And that's where they're protesting against Hamas. Huh,
what do you think of that? Muffy and Jimmy Muffy,
but mostly Muffy, mostly Muffy. Muffy's getting a graduate degree
(16:07):
in some sort of studies. F you angry, angry Muffy,
F you Muffy, Amen to that. That's the armstrung you
getdy t shirt available by this afternoon. Few Muffy.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
From study fines.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Scientists create robot that can walk right off the three
D printer, no electronics required.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
What it's alive it's a live and I need more,
I'd say, oh, it's in hot links.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You can find it their at Armstrong getdy dot com.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
All right from the Babylon b State Farm now offering
optional quote car torched by psychotic purple haired weirdo coverage.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
A little rider on your policy. Yeah that's smart. Dang,
it's smart boy. The point's been made by exactly points
been made by uh plenty of folks. So in like
a year they've gone from everyone must drive an electric
car too.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm setting fire to electric.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Car and people wonder why they get no respect idiots.
The NPR hearing was something we got some highlights for you.
I guarantee you're gonna like Armstrong and Getty. So I
mock these stupid congressional hearings all the time. They are
often like most of the time, like practically all the time,
a waste of time and nothing has learned. But that
(17:30):
is not the case yesterday. In my opinion, with talking
to the leader of NPR, what do you think I
would agree it was an excellent opportunity to expose a
truly evil person for her true evil, and I think
that was done. I'm not sure how many people will
see or hear this, but I'm glad it happened. Well,
(17:51):
we had the clip of her a couple of years ago,
I mean when she was named to lead NPR and
there was that clip going around from a Ted talk
where she discussed, you know, the truth is getting in
the way these days of the truth is a distraction
from us accomplishing what we need to accomplish. Right, so
we already knew. She added weird views of the world.
(18:11):
But anyway, this is Representative Brandon Gill and his questioning
of the leader of NPR and a hearing yesterday, and
it's all about trying to justify two Republicans why they
should get federal funding. That's you know, it's kind of
a doge thing. But here we go.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
last half decade.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't
be able to.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Say, Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder?
And White Democracy.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I don't believe that, sir.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You tweeted reference to a book you were reading at
the time, apparently the Case for Reparations.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You tweeted about it. You said you took a day
off to fully read The Case for Reparations. You put
that on Twitter in January twenty twenty.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I apologies, I don't recall that.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I didn't no doubt that your tweet there is correct,
but I don't recall that.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Okay, is it possible to forget reading a long nonfiction book.
I don't think so that you tweeted I've taken the
day off to read this scarely. No. Now occasionally I will,
you know, have the punchline last, and then sometimes I announce,
you know, I'm gonna break format and do the punchline first.
This is true Joe Getty innovation. Here's the punchline in
(19:39):
the beginning part of the middle. Here's what you need
to remember as you listen to the rest of these clips.
And this is a quote from James Lindsay. Marxists just lie.
They lie so overtly and blatantly that people begin to
question their own perceptions. It works because no one expects
another person to lie so overtly. They don't believe shared truth.
(20:00):
They use words as weapons. Until you learn to keep
this in mind during interaction, you will get continue to
get played. They rely on you implicitly assuming that they
have good intentions and are aiming at shared truth, and
so dialogue can be productive. That's a deception. For Marxists
like Catherine Mayer, dialogue is not a way of attaining truth.
It is a form for manipulation. She is lying every word.
(20:26):
Well you think we got a Marxist running in pr
oh one hundred percent? Well certainly? Well, yeah, a neo Marxist,
and that she believes Western civilization should be torn down.
She believes absolutely every single thing that she's asked about
and denies in this herac and Sary Moore.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Do you believe that white people and inherently feel superior
to other races? I do not. You don't. You tweeted
something to that effect. You said I grew up feeling superior. Ha,
how wide of me? Why did you tweet that?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
to be to grow up in an en where I
had lots of advantages.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I
was just reflecting on my own experiences.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Do you think that white people should pay reparations?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I've never said that, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.
You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes,
our original collective sin and unpaid debt. Yes, reparations, yes
on this day.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What kind of reparations was it a reference to.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I think it was just a reference to the idea
that we all owe much to the people who came
before us.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Right. That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay,
how many how much reparations have you personally paid?
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Sir?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Okay, just for everybody else, I'm not asking anyone. Seems
to be what you're suggesting.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I heard that I was not very familiar with Brandon Gill.
He is at the top of my list now of
guys to support and keep an eye on I will
contribute to his reelection campaign. That is, he could barely
stop himself from giggling at one point because he was
just astounded at the blatancy of her lying, Well, we're
(22:15):
supposed to believe that a highly educated woman in the
news business is not familiar with the term reparations and
how it's normally used. No, when I use reparations, I
just mean we owe them something. I don't mean, I know,
a debt to those who's come before us. No reparations.
Oh that's what that means. Oh, what did you mean? Money?
(22:37):
Even though I guarantee I could find eight hundred versions
of them covering the California reparation story and all the
money involved. Take it home, Brandon, take it home, buddy.
Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
it as counterproductive.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
I think it should be prosecuted.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You believe it's wrong, though, of course, of course, then
why did you refer to it as counterproductive? A very different,
very different way to describe it.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as
being tweeted.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
It's hard to be mad about protests in reference to
the BLM protests not prioritizing the private property of a
system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting, you said
that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted a book
called in Defensive Looting. Do you think that that's an
appropriate use of taxpayer dollars?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
that was at.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Tweeted that you read that book.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
But I don't believe that I did read that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh my god, yeah, oh my god, that is something
the person running in PR is in that furthest gosh,
maybe half percent of Americans' political views. Yes, yeah, she
is an avowed would be destroyer of American and Western civilization.
(23:59):
She has dedicated her life to that goal. I am
one hundred percent confident of that statement. Well, and then
then what's the structure of NPR that gave her that job.
I mean, I don't know how the board works, or
the hiring process or whatever. What is Obviously people that
wanted someone like her, and then you got all kinds
of people who work beneath her who have gone along
(24:19):
with all of that and been fine with it. Apparently
except for that one guy whatever his name was, in
DC that remember he quit, He resigned, and he let
us all know that that was a break. After leinner,
he was talking about how NPR had changed over the
years that he had been there, and but yeah, so
you've got an entire structure that has to exist for
(24:41):
her to be in charge of it for multiple years.
Excellent point. Yeah, the problem is not her per sae.
It reminds me of what I was saying. Remember when
Clouding Gay of Stanford University was in the process of
being run out of town, partly for being a serial
plagiarizer and an undistinguished academic, and people were like, how
(25:02):
is she the president of Harvard? That seems like a
bad decision. I was trying to communicate with people. She's
not president in spite of her being a mindless parrot
of woke doctrine. She's president of Harvard because of that.
That's how she got the job. And of course she's
a plagiarizer. The entire field of woke social science is
(25:27):
repeating the religious incantations of that secular religion.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
So no, you're not supposed to break ground, you're supposed
to repeat it.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You know what I would like to know did NPR
cover this at all? Did they cover this in twenty
four hours or did they present it didn't happen. Well, Katie,
if you have a minute to dig into that, I'd
love to hear that. And if they, if they reported it,
how did they handle it right?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Did I see this on the evening newscast last night?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Dang it? I took in so much news because I
saw this footing around clips on Twitter with people who
lean right just absolutely loving all this stuff. But I
don't know if it made CBS Evening News, ABC Evening
News at all.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It should.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I know, people like nice, smart people who are friends
of mine, who like look at me wide eyed, like
I'm some sort of nut. If I suggest that NPR
is biased, even to suggest that it's biased, let alone
anywhere within her realm, which is beyond biased, you're into
crazyville the stuff she's talking about. But I suggest that, well, NPR,
(26:35):
you know, and they just they look at me like
I'm some sort of right wing, crazy conspiracy person. To
think NBR is biased, well, isn't to that woman? Wow,
the power of perspective, it's amazing. You can't overestimate how
important it is. Katie's answer to my query right after
a word for our friends, that's simply say own security.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Use that as a tease.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Katie's answer next, I feel like I already did that,
but you know whatever. So traditional security systems take action
after someone smashed in your door and broken your windows.
Isn't that helpful? No, that's too late. Simply safe, active
guard outdoor protection can help prevent breakings before they happen.
You got your AI powered cameras backed by live professional
(27:18):
monitoring agents who monitor your property to take suspicious activity.
Somebody's lurking around acting suspiciously, those agents can talk to
them in real time, activate spotlights, call the cops before
the smashings and bashians. Now only twenty seconds till Katie's
answer with simply safe.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
It's about a dollar a day.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
No contract.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You can have a clock in the corner of the screen,
right one. It's radio, but so y'all wouldn't see it.
But anyway back to you jack about a dollar day
for simply safety. They don't make you sign contracts because
they believe you're gonna like the thing. They don't need
to lock you in for a couple of years. Love
it monitoring plans that we're talking about start affordably around
a bucket day. Visit simply safe dot com slash Armstrong.
(27:59):
You get fifty percent off a new system with professional
monitoring plan and your first month is free. That's simplysafe
dot com slash Armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe now.
Arm Kadi's answer.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Going to NPR dot com.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Their head story is Trump officials downplay the signal leak,
of course. Then down to the bottom left corner of
the screen. Four takeaways from PBS and NPR's testimony on
Capitol Hill, which I clicked on, and it says NPR
CEO and PBS appeared Wednesday before a House subcommittee on
(28:39):
Government Efficiency where they defended public broadcasting against accusations by
Republican lawmakers of political bias.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What those Republicans accusation?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But that's just hilarious accusation. They defended themselves against accusations
of bias. Is like Jack Armstrong defended himself against accusations
of baldness.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It's just what. It's right there.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You can see it, so everybody knows it's it's JJ
Watt defending himself against accusations of tackling people.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Right, you guys have the four takeaways.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, I'm interested in that.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Okay, here they are.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
One, Republicans say they've lost trust in NPR and PBS
to to provide balanced coverage half.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
To two thirds of the country, is there?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Okay? Yes?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Number two, public criticism from a former NPR editor acted
as a blueprint for Republicans.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Didn't need a blueprint. You're condescending bitches. Sorry. Oh that
was way over the folks. I am so sir.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I get so fired up about this stuff.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
I love Joe does that.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Number Three Democrats say Republicans are trying to distract from
real news and shut down contrary opinions.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's right. So if anything more important, even if I
were to confess that is clearly more important than that.
That means you can't do the second thing. Honey, the
house is on fire and our son is a heroin
addict murderer. Don't you bother me with that whole heroin
addict murder stuff. We've got to ignore that because the
house is a fire. Oh okay, Oh, got my mistake. Okay,
(30:22):
So we got more clips from this, like jim Jordan
getting in her shorts and all that sort of stuff coming.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Up a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Gah, there Jimmy Joe's mailbag on the way, and we'll
leave you with the leader of NPR's view of the truth.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Perhaps, for our.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince
others of the truth might not be the right place
to start. In fact, our reference for the truth might
be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding
common ground and getting things done.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Wow, she should be.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now, Michael, I know you got diabetes.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
But the executive producer handsOn is raving about the cookies
out there. It says they are absolutely excellent. Yeah, I
got to stay away from it. Christina's husband made Oh jeez,
what a.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Species are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What kind of cookie? What kind of cookie was it?
Hanson white chocolate? Okay with Macadamian knots? Perhaps, Yeah, lightful,
absolutely subtle. We have got more from the NPR hearings
that are just mind blowing, So we'll get to that
a little bit later. I mean it makes a big
it's a big deal to us. You know, we're in
(31:33):
the radio business and they're very successful radio outfit NPR.
They do well in every city in America for a
variety of reasons, including they don't need commercials. But god,
is it ridiculous. Well, they have huge budgets. Yeah, yeah,
And you know, all of that is interesting to me.
What I really care about is that they're misleading the
minds and hearts of Americans and perverting them with the
(31:55):
self hatred. Anyway, more on that to come. Here's your
freedom loving quote of the day. It's actually a series
of freedom hating quotes of the day, he sent along
by alert listener Jeremy. I love this. People do this
now and again taking a look at the other side
of the coin. Here's a super progressive provost to King's
College at Cambridge in Britain in nineteen sixty seven, Edmund Leitch,
(32:18):
The family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is
the source of all our discontents. Wow, here's one from
Adolf Hitler, Michael, if you must, what luck for rulers
that men do not think? So what do you do
with that? You think? You dig, you learn, you speak?
(32:39):
And then finally this from Joseph Stalin, The people who
cast the votes don't decide an election the people who
count the votes due. That's a good one, and.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That is a really good one. Thanks Jeremy.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Nice job. Mailbag, drop us note mail bag Armstrong and
getty dot com is the email address. Idiot media, writes Antonio.
The weather doppler radar misreported. Local doppler shows no rain.
It's raining hard outside, folks. The lies disinformation now right, deceit.
(33:10):
It might just be in competence, you know, a militant
about the bed for you know, I am about meteor
Aloich just arely. Oh don't they just start speaking of Stalin.
They just want to see the world burn. Oh my god.
I shouldn't have brought it up side Joe Bob writes
on the signal scandal. I've been fired from good jobs
(33:31):
for much less than the mistake made by Waltz. I'm
not sure he should be fired for that, but I
think the lies under oath should be fireable offenses for sure.
If there were lies and then we got this gotten
several like this, Bob says, you continue to give oxygen
something that is not consequential. That's why it's still alive.
If you talk about something else, then it moves on
don't be part of the mainstream media. You're ignoring far
(33:52):
more consequential stories. If you keep talking about it, or
if you stop talking about it, it will die. Two things, Bob.
Number one, we are not ignoring far more consequential stories.
We have four hours and we deal with a lot
of different stuff. And secondly, I wish we had that
much influence, but we don't. We're commenting on the game
being played. We're trying to learn it, we're trying to
(34:14):
understand it. Not just cheerleading all the time. But you
know it's not for everybody. Kevin from Beautiful Plastic, Plasterville, California.
Just as a lot of news that you get on
the news, we get on the news just because it's interesting.
You don't find it interesting that they have a when
they're discussing war plans, they get together on a commercial
(34:34):
chat thing like that.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I found that fascinating. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Accidentally include Jeffrey Goldberg, although I have a theory on
that I want to share next hour and I'm pretty
confident about it. But yeah, we don't always cheerlead. We
just find things interesting and want to understand what's happening
around here. At the Armstrong and Getty Show. Anyway, Hey,
Big Freedom and Old Simple Jack? Do I have this right?
What we learned from the World Happiness ratings methodology We
(34:57):
talked about this hour four in the show I Think
yesterday if you didn't catch it Gravit Fi podcast Armstrong
and Getty on demand our four Yes dray My one
mob review scintillating what we learned from the World Happiness
ratings methodology is that Scandinavian socialism doesn't create happiness. It
creates hopelessness, as in no hopes or aspirations for making
a better life for oneself. I guess if you're living
(35:19):
as a quasi surf working as state supported job until
you retire on a government pension, you probably see that
as the pinnacle of life's possibilities. I guess this helps
explain why nearly every major company founded in the last
fifty years as American not European. We hear in the
States still have the entrepreneurial spirit to go out and
make a better life. Being high on the World Happiness
Ratings sounds like an economic death knell. Anyway, Oh and two,
(35:44):
and we don't have time to play the you'll frequently
hear people, especially on emails. Hey sign off with anyway?
Oh and two, why don't we kick off next hour
if you've never heard that before season with a full context,
a tribute to the national pastime, the great Vince Skull
and this fabulous country, and a shot at socialism all
in one clip. Yes, it's fantastic. If you don't get
(36:07):
that segment or hour for whatever reason, get our podcast,
Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
There's a lot of news today. I hope you can
