Speaker 1 (00:00):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty enough he Armstrong and Getty Putin's lackey.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Dmitri Medvedev, who served as the bridge between Putin's presidential terms,
has posted an implicit threat as President Trump is weighing
these harsh sanctions on Russia.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Medvedev rights regarding.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Trump's words about Putin playing with fire and really bad
things happening to Russia, I only know of one really
bad thing, world War three. I hope Trump understands this.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Wow, that's nice, as the country with the most nuclear
weapons on planet Earth, by the way, more than China
or the United States threatening World War three? Why did
Medgidev do that? You'll remember Trump said this the.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Other day because.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But that's why he said that. He's got Putin's form
of his body. He's a puppet, he's a spokesman. When
you want a statement to be like one step removed
from Putin himself, it's to be taken seriously, reminds me Diddy.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Update on the way. Oh lord, sorry, Michael, I think
you're trying to play some audio. I don't like what
Putin is doing, not even a little bit. He's killing
people and something happened to this guy, and I don't
like it. Right. So Trump said that the other day.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Then yesterday he truthed out what Vladimir Putin doesn't realize
it is if it weren't for me, lots of really
bad things that have already happened to Russia, and I
mean really bad all caps. He's playing with fire. So
that's when Medidev fires back. Oh yeah, one bad thing
I can think of World War three. There's no way
he talks without Putin's agreement, right, or you fall out
(01:59):
of though right?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh yeah, yeah he is again. He is the guy
who puts out a statement if you want it, one
step removed from Putin himself.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Wow, So you think not only was he reflecting Putin's thoughts,
it was thought out that much like if I say it,
that's the one step more than I want to go.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Right now, how about.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You say, yeah, yeah, absolutely, he wanted to raise the
specter of World War three and thought having med Vedyev
speak the words was a good interim step.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
So the ball is definitely on in Trump's court right now.
Jackie Henric of Fox reporting on where that might be.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But the President's patience does appear to be running thin.
The White House, we know, is actively reviewing sanctions options,
and already the Senate has a veto proof bill ready
to go that would slap five hundred percent tariffs on
any country that buys Russian energy. And you're already hearing
from some congressional Republicans say that they are ready to
see the Senate act with or without the White House's
(03:06):
green light.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I think even more importantly than that is that
Europe is completely on board with those level of sanctions
and would help enforce them, because I mean, like, we
had all kinds of sanctions on Iraq, but France continued
to buy from Iraq even they were our friends.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Europe passed these.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Really really tough sanctions a week or so ago, and
that's when Trump undermined them with this phony piece talking
Istanbul stuff that delayed things by a.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Week or so.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah. Meanwhile, we the United States are actively aiding NATO
in beefing up the defenses of our allied countries in
the North, particularly close to Russia. We are actively helping
arm them. So what Trump is thinking or what's going
on behind the scenes is very mystifying to me.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't know what Trump is thinking. According to NBC News,
intelligence officials believe Putin. The reason Putin is amped up
his attacks during the so called ceasefire talks, which don't exist.
The reason he's amplified his attacks on Kiev with the
(04:18):
biggest drone attack of the entire war over the weekend
is he thinks Trump will walk away from the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's what Putin believes. He thinks Trump's.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Reaction won't be all right, that's it, and start arming Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Putin thinks Trump's gonna say, all right, that's it, I
don't want anything to do with this anymore, and just
get out of it. That's Putin's belief. Whether he's right
or not.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I actually don't know evidence to the contrary what we're
doing in northern Europe, which I just mentioned, the fact
that in the Senate there are I think eighty two
co sponsors of this hardcore sanctioned Russiaville going on, and
then very h this clip fifty six very trumpy friend
(05:02):
of the Armstrong and Getty Show, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen
said this on Hannity.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
The President has been very patient with Putin. At the
same time he's trying to clean up a mess that
he didn't start.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
He's been very clear from day one he wanted the
killing to stop. He's tried to work with Putin. His
patience is running thin. And if Putin continues to push
this envelope the way that he is, He's going to
give Zelinsky the tools he needs to fight back on
the full scale and full support of the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But Europe needs to take a lead. I hope that's true.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
But Trump said to reporters in the Middle East as
recently his last weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
JD.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Vance said it too that they were leaning more towards
throw up their hands. Okay, you all work it out.
It's not our problem, not our circus, not our monkeys.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Very clearly a divide behind the scenes between JD. Vance
and the restrainers and Lindsey Graham types and Mark Wayne Mullen.
I mean that was and again Mark Wayne is quite
close to Trump to say we'll give Zealiski everything he needs.
That is a real departure from the more JD vancy
in state God, I'd say so.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now there is evidence my favorite podcast on this from
the Telegraph newspaper in London. I listened to at least
parts of it every single day. It's so good with
the latest news on Ukraine and then their analysis such
as fantastic. But they say there's all kinds of indications
that Russia is building up from major offensive coming up
(06:36):
in the near future. And Ukraine believes that too. They're
getting all kinds of cell phone pings and seeing supply
line stuff that leads them to believe Russia's planning for
a major offensive. So if we would throw up our
hands and back off and most importantly stop with the
intelligence sharing that we did briefly a while back. Remember
when Trump threatened it, Ukraine wud be in a bad spot.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, yeah, agreed, disastrous. I also think if.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Putin has his way, I think he will try to
take one of those smaller NATO countries. He'll make up
a reason, he'll take a portion of it and see
how the world reacts. Then you got the full on
this NATO reel is Article five reel or not situation.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right, and it could be like almost hilariously small the
incursion right as he is attempting to find out if
he's got another Biden on his hands. Just depends on
the size of the incursion, because if you know there's
some you know, a little farm town in Estonia where
two thirds of the people speak Russian and just grab
(07:42):
that little town and some Russian gets killed, maybe by Putin,
because he's done this sort of thing before any classic
and he can blame it on someone else.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Merely protecting ethnic Russians for a temporary period, he will say,
and the world will be like, I wonder if it's
really temporary, And maybe he was just worried about those people.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
So those of you who believe us being involved in
this and pushing back into its Putin is going to
lead to World War three.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I think world War three is more likely with that scenario.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You let Putin grab a big, chunky Ukraine, then he
takes some Estonia. If NATO lives up to its obligations, NATO,
which is US more than anybody else, is at war
with the number one or.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Clear power in the world immediately. Well, and you have
to factor into this discussion. The other two main foreign
policy pivot points were at and you know, I get
tired of hyperbole and clickbait and I really try not
to engage in it. But this might not just be
changes in America's foreign policy. This could be like inflection
(08:46):
points in history. You've got the China thing, Taiwan aggression
in the South China, see all sorts of different examples.
They're on the move all over the world aggressively. Do
they think there will be a low cost to territorial
acquisition and acts of aggression? Or did they think there
will be a very high cost to doing those things?
(09:09):
That will change Chijin Ping's calculations And they are watching
intently to see what's happening here. Likewise, although it's different
in several different ways, the whole Iran nuclear programs sing.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Where are we with that?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Trump has said, dismantle your nuclear program and verifiable wars
or the US will dismantle it by force. We are
getting very very close to one or the others going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Let me read from the Wall Street Journal opinion page
on this today. President Trump's foreign policy has been coasting
so far in his verbal threats and public cajoling, but
he'll soon face moments of decision on US adversaries that
will echo throughout a second term and could determine his legacy.
I agree the threats and this and that to reporters
(09:58):
is about to be over, and you got to pick
a path like today or this weekend, like really soon.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And with all due respect to how much I love
a lot of what he's done, the various Doge things
and Harvard battles and you know, lower court fights that
have been making the headlines in recent weeks will seem
like Liliputians compared to some of the headlines we might
see going forward.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And I would assume.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That the Wall Street Journal editorial board doesn't love the
idea of a major war. That's not usually good for
the stock market. That's sort of uncertainty because you never
know once you unleash the dogs of war where that's going.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But well, I think the jdvents of the world will say, no,
they love it. It's good for economies, especially defense contractors.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, I know that is what he would say, So
tip my cap to that argument. The editorial board writes this,
But the world is mister Trump now faces crucial decisions
on Russia, Iran, and China. As you just said, those
adversaries are increasingly wor working together against American interests. Will
the President send a message of deterrence or weakness? That's
(11:09):
a damn good question, and I don't actually, I don't
have the slightest idea. Mister Trump has to decide what
kind of relationship he wants with China, what kind of
how hard he wants to push on Iran, and what
he's going to do on Russia, and these decisions need
to be made soon. The next few months may be
as significant for America's role in the world as any
(11:31):
since the.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
End of the World War.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I think that is without a doubt. True, m m,
it's a big deal. These are not minor things. No, No,
before we take a break, do you think he's leaning
toward throwing up his hands, not our circus, not our monkeys,
or we can't let this happen. Slash Putin's making me
(11:55):
look weak?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I suspect with sixty one percent confidence, sixty one sixty
one percent confidence that we the United States will forcefully
back Ukraine and NATO both for some of the right
reasons and some of the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Like Trump feels like his manhood is being challenged.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Although that's an uncharitable way to put it, and I
think Trump is easily but hurt and takes everything way
too personally. If the strength of the United States and
its resolution is being challenged, that's kind of in the
same department as the president himself being personally challenged, and
(12:40):
we got to stand up for that. In my opinion,
I invited folks earlier today and I will repeat that invite.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Why are we wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com drop us
note you cannot use the term neokon nor forever wars
because those are not arguments, as are slogans, and we
will consider your your point of view and bring them
to the people tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I know we got to take a break, but if
if I had to bet money, I'd say it goes
that direction.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Also.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But if we make it clear we're arming Ukraine five
hundred percent sanctions, I mean, really go.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Not all in.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean because there'd be troops on the ground quite
a bit in How does Putin react so he go
ahead and fight that fight or realize that I can't
take this on, makes.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Material threats to use a technical nuclear device, moves those
teams into place, rattles a saber very very loudly.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, those are those are going to be some edgy
days if he does that, and he probably will.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
All right, stay here.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Three quarters of adults in the US use supplements, according
to an industry trade group. One study found serious liver
failure cases related to supplements in eightfold between nineteen ninety
five and twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Those still rare.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Experts say consumers should be especially mindful of botanical supplements,
which aren't as well studied. Turmeric green tea extract in Nashra,
Ganda are among the most popular that can lead to
liver damage.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
All right, well, one person change what they're doing based
on that one person in the country.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I've always been a little amused by the whole Uh.
It's not a drug, it's a natural supplement. A drug is,
in effect, to anything that causes a physiological change when
you ingest it or.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Eject it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
There are many quote unquote drugs that are made out
of natural substances. There is no dividing line between those
two things. Plus, rocks are very natural. I could swallow
rocks every day.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Wouldn't do me any good.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
This is kind of breaking news. They interviewed the freed
Israeli hostage the American and he said, my captors wanted
COMMLA to be elected. That's on CNA. Oh yeah, of
course they did.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But yeah, yeah, we willed halfway, of course, came across
a really interesting story about these three scumbags. They happen
to be teenage years but you know, young men and
women who committed a murder, a couple of murders, and
they would have gotten a wait with it, except that
the cups in the area subpoena the Google records for
(15:25):
who googled the address of the victims.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Wow, and then they cross referenced that with.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
All sorts of cell phone signals that had been pinged
in that area, and they narrowed it down and busted
these people. They're going to jail for a very very
long time. That is awesome and catching criminals. But man,
if we ever end up with a government that wants
to spy on us, their ability to track a you know,
(15:54):
a political group that wants to, for instance, fite that happening.
Oh yeah, CHIESI in ping is like, yeah, good start guys,
you got the idea. Let it go. A totally different topic,
the Trump administration fighting with Harvard.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
How much time do we have Michael, not very much. Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Whow we haven't trying to deal with foreign students, agitators,
that sort of thing. I'm in support of it in principle.
Some of the stuff they're doing is good. Some won't work,
it won't pass the Court's kind of silly in my opinion.
But there are one point one million foreign students in
the US right now. That's up seven percent from last year.
It's the highest number ever.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Students from China and India count for more than half
of the foreign student population, India more than China. But
there are more than a quarter million Chinese nationals quote
unquote studying in the US right now. Some of them
are studying, some of them are doing espionage work. Some
of them are studying. But we'll be forced to do
espionage work. And why do we permit this? Why do
(16:53):
colleges like this so much? In a word, money study
in twenty fifteen found out found that these foreign students
make up less than five percent of students, but they
contribute twenty eight percent of tuition revenue.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Sespinasby damned a lip reader has figured out what McCrone
and his wife were saying to each other after the
face shoven, stay tuned for.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
That Armstrong and Getty. The video of the show quickly
going viral.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
The president's team initially called it a fake, but later
Macron acknowledged it was real, downplaying the incident, saying he
and his wife what bickering and joking.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Sort bickering or joking.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Bickering and joking, they usually don't go together. Sometimes there's joking,
then it turns into bickering. It doesn't go back to
joking maybe for quite a while. The interesting nugget there
that was news to me. Now we're talking about Macrone.
I assume you know this that the president of France
said they land on their Air Force one and open
(18:01):
the door and she shoves him in the face, and
then he.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Looks out the doors like, ah, everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Saw that, then smiles say everybody ain't nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Then the whole world of speculating what the hell was
going on there? I didn't know that his office anyway.
Their first response to reporters was that was fake, so
freaking weak that. But we knew this was coming with
AI because we had what a week or so ago.
You had to him grabbing the bag of coke off
the table, which to me was obviously fake. But you know,
(18:32):
so the ground has been laid all around the world
with so many fake videos to claim a real one
is fake. I always thought that's gonna be the biggest
danger is of being able to claim the real stuff
is fake, even more than the fake stuff convincing people
of trail.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
We're one hundred percent there, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, that's a trouble. But so what was going on
there with the hersh shoving him in the face. As
I said yesterday, I have seen couples playfully do that
sort of thing, but the way she didn't grab his
arm when they came down the stairs made it seem
I mean, if they had like smiled and held hands
(19:12):
as they went down the stairs, I thought, Okay, that
was just some sort of playful whatever, right, that is
not what he offered his arm and she just turned
and we now know what they said according to a
lip reader. A lip reader read the lips, and here
we go. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in
(19:33):
the face after the door opened, him and Crone noticed
that the cameras were on him. He then said hi,
before raising his hand. Even I, not an expert flip reader,
was able to tell that was some sort of gesture
similar to hi. He then steps closer to her before
composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later,
he signals for her to follow him with let's go,
(19:57):
the lip reader said. He thanks the pilot and waves
at the cameras, trying to recover his public facing image.
But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again,
says the lip reader. He offers his arm, she ignores it,
choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes,
she appears to mutter the gajespet de loser translated in
(20:17):
English stay away you loser.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yes, I don't know if I believe that she actually
said to her husband's stay away you loser.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I mean, that's too much.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No, it fits perfectly with a shove in the face.
Are you kidding? The hand on face? Get away from me?
I am claiming it. I am saying leauthentique.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I have never called a person a female, you know,
love relationship person a loser in an argument.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Ever, I don't can't imagine that I ever would. That
sounds more like a thing a woman would say to a.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Man I've never been called that I would take that
is pretty damned. This is close to broken and irreparable.
That is the one thing a relationship cannot survive. Contempt
both hands. According to the videos, when you really slow
it down, she shoved him in the face with both hands.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
She looks to weigh about one hundred and five pounds.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Of course, he looks to weigh about one hundred and
two pounds, so it's hard to say how that bout
would go.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It is a bank to weight bout, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I hope those crazy kids can settle it before it
comes to the fisticuffs.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
More blows, obviously, so she says stay away, you lose her.
Moments later, the lip reader claims McCrone said as jon
sele pate, which translated to let's try please. She responds none,
which I assume means no, yes his clothing we we
no is none yes we. His closing expression in the
phrase lip red as Java's translated in English as I see,
(21:57):
according to the lipreador.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Or also translating in English as all right, okay, I
got no time for this. So that's how it's going
to be I'm the president of a dying socialist republic
that used to.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Be an empire.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I got no time for your crap, yeah, said the loser.
She replies, you never know with people in their relationships.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
So I remember reading I think it was in the
book Game Change way back in the day. Probably was
about McCain running against O Barack Obama. Mark Alpern and
Heilman wrote that book. Anyway, there was a on the
tarmac moment with John McCain and his wife who they
stayed married till the day he died, and they seemed
to be a happy couple, but he was in her face,
(22:47):
red faced, screaming at her, just screaming at her, And
that was sort of chalked up to he has a temper.
You know, he was a prisoner war beaten daily for
eight years, blah blah blah blah, and she's used to
it or something. But you know, some people are more fiery,
Some people are willing to put up with fiery more
(23:10):
than other people are.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I guess. So who knows.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Maybe she shoves them in the face and does the
don't hold my hand, you lose your routine twice a year.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Who knows, right, right?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's all rings true, though, she's you know, being schlept
around the world on these trips where he's got meetings
and and she's just got a smile and shake hands
and look fascinated by the foreign leaders that you know,
greetings and the rest of it. Then go watch some
native damn dance and eat some native damn food.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And she's not in the mood. She's married to a
French woosy boy.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Some days she's just had it up to here, here
at it and says, get off me, loser.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
You're at some three hour meal where you've got to
talk to the wife of the assistant minister of something
or other. Right, Oh, but it's funny you say that
coming out of We just came out of Jill Biden
with roughly the same lifestyle, seemed to be willing to
do anything to hang onto that lifestyle as opposed to
I'm sick of this different human being. Sure yeah, and
(24:15):
you know, arguing against myself. Michelle Obama, we now know,
and she keeps talking about it more and more. Absolutely
freaking hated the whole first Lady thing, hated every.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Bit of it. Sure yeah, I don't blame her.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I don't blame her either man, the charm would go
out of that really fast for.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Me, and it wasn't because she had a schantz by
the way, so quit with that having a penis maker.
Hate it more or less. I don't be in first lady.
Too much pressure. I don't know, somebody might discover it.
You dance, jan Ellen, and all of a sudden it
slips out of your slacks.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I've seen that video, but no, no, no, it didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But anyway, Yeah, so you had Michelle who despised it,
and Jill Biden, who would perpetrate a fraud and trot
out her senile husband to be humiliated. If that's what
it took to hold onto the trappings of power.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Sure, you did such a great job.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
You answered every question it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yay.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
And just the backstory again in case you don't remember it.
She was his forty year old teacher when he was fifteen.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
We're back to macron, Macron.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, yeah, she was a forty year old teacher when
he was fifteen, and they've been together ever since.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Love true love. Oh apparently apparently it is.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Though some days she's had enough as his loser act.
She's given him a C minus as a husband.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I wonder if that's again, that's just part of their lifestyle,
happens a couple times a year. They love each other,
that'll go on, or if things have deteriorated and we're
about to see ah, I don't know, a splitting imagineal
line or something.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
What now? And who cares? We're talking about France.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Nice architecture, some good food there, huh at towery that
tower they got what's that called the Ethel Tower? Very attractive.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
To turn it slightly serious for a moment, the s
might hit the fan with Russia Ukraine and everybody who
backs Ukraine and France will be right there at the
lead of it. It ain't that far away. So he's
going to have some serious, serious decisions and politics he's
(26:33):
dealing with in the coming days and weeks also.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And they are France is rotten in a lot of ways.
It's interior structures of government and society are rotten, rotted
out by socialism and ultra powerful unions and honestly being
able to indulge those impulses because of the American security
(26:57):
umbrella for last seventy five years.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
But if you and you're in Germany and Britain are
fighting Russia. Maybe on your own if the US back's
out or whatever, you ain't got time for face shovens
by your whole wife.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, true enough, So how old is he now?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Like fifty, so she's seventy five? No idea, I'm gonna
find out how old is Emmanuel Macron?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No, you can't stumble over your worse. It doesn't work
that way.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's what I always tell my son, like, spit it out, son,
what are you D'm not wasting my time with you?
AI my watch said, what are you drunk? Mushmouth hed?
How old Isowel's who?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
The time? I got it right?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
He's forty seven, So she's seventy three? Maybe I don't know,
but she's twenty five years older, is she?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
She was forty He was fifteen, all right, which is
you know, almost fifty and seventy five is not the same,
But forty and fifteen You can get away with that
in France, I guess you would never. You could never
get elected president in the United States hooking up with
your forty year old teacher as a fifteen year old
(28:10):
or vice versa. You couldn't be the first lady who
hosts these, you know, white tied dinners and.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Everything like that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
When you were sexing up your fifteen year old boyfriend
as a forty year old.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
The term cradle robbery used to be thrown around with
a grin and a wink.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yes, different culture.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We will finish strong next. We've talked about this a
couple of times today. We think it's a really big deal.
It certainly could turn into the biggest of deals. But
Trump blasts out at Russia yesterday, at Putin. Hey, if
it weren't for me, really really bad things would have
(28:51):
happened to you. Russia blasts back. The only bad thing
I can think of is World War three. Trump taking
questions moments ago. First question was about Russia Ukraine. I'm
just wondering what he said.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Do you believe the Russians are being disrespectful when they
say that your criticisms of Putin are simply an emotional response.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And do you still believe that Putin actually wants to
end the war?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
I can't tell you that, but I'll let you know
in about two weeks. Within two weeks, we're going to
find out very soon. We're going to find out whether
or not he's tapping us along or not, And if
he is, we'll respond a little bit differently, but it'll
take about a week and a half, two weeks. We
have mister Whitgoff is here, is doing a phenomenal job,
is dealing with them very strongly. Right now, they seem
(29:41):
to want to do something, but until the document is signed,
I can't tell you.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
The document. Is he talking about the cease fire agreement?
I don't know, So I wondered what he got two weeks?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Why two weeks? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
And that wasn't the best first question if you're gonna
ask a question about you rush the Ukraine to me,
I mean, it sounded to me like whoever that reporter was,
they wanted to tee up the you know, the personality battle.
He says, you're being emotional. How do you feel about
it as opposed to you know, all the brass tacks
of foreign diplomacy and war right like it's an episode
of Big Brother?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah yeah, situation where hundreds of thousands of people are
being killed.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah too. I don't know why you put a two
week deadline on it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's a very Trumpian semi leak of something going on
behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Who's tappened? Who along? Okay, by the way, have you
ever heard that expression that's just tapping me along?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I'm never in my life have I heard it? Curious
tapping along? But it must be a queen's real estate
sort of thing, you say. Uh, Whitcoff is working on
an agreement in the Okay that is never ever gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I'm working on reanimating a corpse. I'm gonna call him
Joeenstein's monster. Please, I'm gonna reanimate a corpse before Steve
Whitcof Witkoff is gonna settle the Russian invasion of your See.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The problem with that is Putin wants to delay. He
heard that? Oh cool, another two weeks.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
All I gotta do is come up with yet another
dumb reason to delay for another two weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
As I just keep delaying and doing whatever the hell
I want until I get in the US is not
fully you know, backing Ukraine? Yeah, right, and the sanctions
haven't happened.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
In fact, in two weeks or three or four or five,
you'll come out and say, all right, all right, I
see your point. You know what all killing? What was
I thinking? I lost my mind, let's figure out how
we stopped the killing. And he's stringing along for another
month or.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Two, whatever it takes.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I'm sure we'll have more on this tomorrow. For those
of you who were into the Tate brothers, Andrew and
Tristan Tate, and I won't explain who they are if
you don't know. They've been charged with twenty one counts
of rape and many other crimes by the Brits and
that's going to be its own Diddy style trial over there.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Uh yeah, if they can haul them in. Where are
they They're back in the US now.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
They're seen as right wing influencers, whether that's fair or not.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, they're not left wing. They're heroes to a lot
of the right wing for some reason.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, the young, angry, displaced ideologically right wingy guys.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, which bothers me.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, bothers me too. It's too bad. These are times
of great discontent. Jack, how much time have we gotten
that word is discontent? Yes, about twenty seconds.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
We had twenty seconds. We had we do a four
hour show. We had three hours and fifty nine minutes
worth of material, and then we ran out. It happens tomorrow.
We'll try to show up with full four full hours.
Oh we're gone.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
It's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap of the show. Wouldn't that be lovely? How
about Mike Langelo leading the way? Michael in the control room?
Speaker 7 (33:11):
I hit it, Jack, you were talking about your son
getting in a fight with another little kid of argument,
no fight, argument for politics.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Well, I guess this is common.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I had somebody text me and she said that another
little boy had a cardboard pie chart about social Security
reform and he hit another little boy with the damn thing.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Thought some Medicaid cuts were too deep.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
So I guess this is getting, you know, quite common.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, these are fevered times. Katie Green is off this week. Jack,
Do you have a final thought for us?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I was. My son moved up the next level in
boy Scouts last night, and he was very proud of himself,
and he put in a lot of work. I couldn't
be a bigger fan of that organization. I mean I
was in it as a kid as many many years ago.
Seeing it up close now, a lot of parents really
dedicating a lot of time and effort to it and
it's just absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
My final thought is I was hoping to get into
this but didn't get a chance. San Francisco is doing
some really really good things about cleaning itself up.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
The new leadership is absolutely kicking butt, and a lot
of neighborhood organizations have come together and are advocating for
themselves in their neighborhoods in a way that is very
very American.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
It's cool. I have seen it with my own eyes.
I was there all day on Saturday. It is.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
It's starkly different than it was a year ago. I mean,
it's starkly to do.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And the neighborhood folks who did not passively wait for
the authorities to do something, they said, this is our city,
this is our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
We're going to do something good for y'all. You get
further down Mission Street, it's the same old, same old oid.
It's disgusting. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up on other grueling
four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
So many people think, so a little time go to
Armstrong andedtdy dot com pickups, me ANGI swag, maybe one
of those light hoodies for the favorite eight and g
fan on your gift list.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Maybe it's you yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Office a note mail bag at Armstrong at geeddy dot
com and hit those hot links sassinating. We will see
tomorrow with all the latest. God bless America.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the
dancing bears has passed.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
What the American people need is a break. Let's go, Brandon.
I will not sugarcoat this. This is a disappointing day
for us. Big mistake, but not too bad.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
The fun level in this room is at an eleven
right now, and that brought it down, and we apologize
for our stupidity.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, he's a damn idiot. Go away, get out of here.
You more on you hit me, take your turtle kneck
import on that high note. Thank you all very much,
Armstrong and Getty.
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty enough he Armstrong and Getty Putin's lackey.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Dmitri Medvedev, who served as the bridge between Putin's presidential terms,
has posted an implicit threat as President Trump is weighing
these harsh sanctions on Russia.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Medvedev rights regarding.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Trump's words about Putin playing with fire and really bad
things happening to Russia, I only know of one really
bad thing, world War three. I hope Trump understands this.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Wow, that's nice, as the country with the most nuclear
weapons on planet Earth, by the way, more than China
or the United States threatening World War three? Why did
Medgidev do that? You'll remember Trump said this the.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Other day because.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
But that's why he said that. He's got Putin's form
of his body. He's a puppet, he's a spokesman. When
you want a statement to be like one step removed
from Putin himself, it's to be taken seriously, reminds me Diddy.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Update on the way. Oh lord, sorry, Michael, I think
you're trying to play some audio. I don't like what
Putin is doing, not even a little bit. He's killing
people and something happened to this guy, and I don't
like it. Right. So Trump said that the other day.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Then yesterday he truthed out what Vladimir Putin doesn't realize
it is if it weren't for me, lots of really
bad things that have already happened to Russia, and I
mean really bad all caps. He's playing with fire. So
that's when Medidev fires back. Oh yeah, one bad thing
I can think of World War three. There's no way
he talks without Putin's agreement, right, or you fall out
(01:59):
of though right?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh yeah, yeah he is again. He is the guy
who puts out a statement if you want it, one
step removed from Putin himself.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Wow, So you think not only was he reflecting Putin's thoughts,
it was thought out that much like if I say it,
that's the one step more than I want to go.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Right now, how about.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You say, yeah, yeah, absolutely, he wanted to raise the
specter of World War three and thought having med Vedyev
speak the words was a good interim step.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
So the ball is definitely on in Trump's court right now.
Jackie Henric of Fox reporting on where that might be.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But the President's patience does appear to be running thin.
The White House, we know, is actively reviewing sanctions options,
and already the Senate has a veto proof bill ready
to go that would slap five hundred percent tariffs on
any country that buys Russian energy. And you're already hearing
from some congressional Republicans say that they are ready to
see the Senate act with or without the White House's
(03:06):
green light.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I think even more importantly than that is that
Europe is completely on board with those level of sanctions
and would help enforce them, because I mean, like, we
had all kinds of sanctions on Iraq, but France continued
to buy from Iraq even they were our friends.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Europe passed these.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Really really tough sanctions a week or so ago, and
that's when Trump undermined them with this phony piece talking
Istanbul stuff that delayed things by a.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Week or so.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah. Meanwhile, we the United States are actively aiding NATO
in beefing up the defenses of our allied countries in
the North, particularly close to Russia. We are actively helping
arm them. So what Trump is thinking or what's going
on behind the scenes is very mystifying to me.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't know what Trump is thinking. According to NBC News,
intelligence officials believe Putin. The reason Putin is amped up
his attacks during the so called ceasefire talks, which don't exist.
The reason he's amplified his attacks on Kiev with the
(04:18):
biggest drone attack of the entire war over the weekend
is he thinks Trump will walk away from the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's what Putin believes. He thinks Trump's.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Reaction won't be all right, that's it, and start arming Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Putin thinks Trump's gonna say, all right, that's it, I
don't want anything to do with this anymore, and just
get out of it. That's Putin's belief. Whether he's right
or not.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I actually don't know evidence to the contrary what we're
doing in northern Europe, which I just mentioned, the fact
that in the Senate there are I think eighty two
co sponsors of this hardcore sanctioned Russiaville going on, and
then very h this clip fifty six very trumpy friend
(05:02):
of the Armstrong and Getty Show, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen
said this on Hannity.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
The President has been very patient with Putin. At the
same time he's trying to clean up a mess that
he didn't start.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Right.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
He's been very clear from day one he wanted the
killing to stop. He's tried to work with Putin. His
patience is running thin. And if Putin continues to push
this envelope the way that he is, He's going to
give Zelinsky the tools he needs to fight back on
the full scale and full support of the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
But Europe needs to take a lead. I hope that's true.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
But Trump said to reporters in the Middle East as
recently his last weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
JD.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Vance said it too that they were leaning more towards
throw up their hands. Okay, you all work it out.
It's not our problem, not our circus, not our monkeys.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Very clearly a divide behind the scenes between JD. Vance
and the restrainers and Lindsey Graham types and Mark Wayne Mullen.
I mean that was and again Mark Wayne is quite
close to Trump to say we'll give Zealiski everything he needs.
That is a real departure from the more JD vancy
in state God, I'd say so.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now there is evidence my favorite podcast on this from
the Telegraph newspaper in London. I listened to at least
parts of it every single day. It's so good with
the latest news on Ukraine and then their analysis such
as fantastic. But they say there's all kinds of indications
that Russia is building up from major offensive coming up
(06:36):
in the near future. And Ukraine believes that too. They're
getting all kinds of cell phone pings and seeing supply
line stuff that leads them to believe Russia's planning for
a major offensive. So if we would throw up our
hands and back off and most importantly stop with the
intelligence sharing that we did briefly a while back. Remember
when Trump threatened it, Ukraine wud be in a bad spot.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, yeah, agreed, disastrous. I also think if.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Putin has his way, I think he will try to
take one of those smaller NATO countries. He'll make up
a reason, he'll take a portion of it and see
how the world reacts. Then you got the full on
this NATO reel is Article five reel or not situation.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right, and it could be like almost hilariously small the
incursion right as he is attempting to find out if
he's got another Biden on his hands. Just depends on
the size of the incursion, because if you know there's
some you know, a little farm town in Estonia where
two thirds of the people speak Russian and just grab
(07:42):
that little town and some Russian gets killed, maybe by Putin,
because he's done this sort of thing before any classic
and he can blame it on someone else.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Merely protecting ethnic Russians for a temporary period, he will say,
and the world will be like, I wonder if it's
really temporary, And maybe he was just worried about those people.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
So those of you who believe us being involved in
this and pushing back into its Putin is going to
lead to World War three.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I think world War three is more likely with that scenario.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
You let Putin grab a big, chunky Ukraine, then he
takes some Estonia. If NATO lives up to its obligations, NATO,
which is US more than anybody else, is at war
with the number one or.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Clear power in the world immediately. Well, and you have
to factor into this discussion. The other two main foreign
policy pivot points were at and you know, I get
tired of hyperbole and clickbait and I really try not
to engage in it. But this might not just be
changes in America's foreign policy. This could be like inflection
(08:46):
points in history. You've got the China thing, Taiwan aggression
in the South China, see all sorts of different examples.
They're on the move all over the world aggressively. Do
they think there will be a low cost to territorial
acquisition and acts of aggression? Or did they think there
will be a very high cost to doing those things?
(09:09):
That will change Chijin Ping's calculations And they are watching
intently to see what's happening here. Likewise, although it's different
in several different ways, the whole Iran nuclear programs sing.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Where are we with that?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Trump has said, dismantle your nuclear program and verifiable wars
or the US will dismantle it by force. We are
getting very very close to one or the others going
to happen.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Let me read from the Wall Street Journal opinion page
on this today. President Trump's foreign policy has been coasting
so far in his verbal threats and public cajoling, but
he'll soon face moments of decision on US adversaries that
will echo throughout a second term and could determine his legacy.
I agree the threats and this and that to reporters
(09:58):
is about to be over, and you got to pick
a path like today or this weekend, like really soon.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And with all due respect to how much I love
a lot of what he's done, the various Doge things
and Harvard battles and you know, lower court fights that
have been making the headlines in recent weeks will seem
like Liliputians compared to some of the headlines we might
see going forward.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And I would assume.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
That the Wall Street Journal editorial board doesn't love the
idea of a major war. That's not usually good for
the stock market. That's sort of uncertainty because you never
know once you unleash the dogs of war where that's going.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
But well, I think the jdvents of the world will say, no,
they love it. It's good for economies, especially defense contractors.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, I know that is what he would say, So
tip my cap to that argument. The editorial board writes this,
But the world is mister Trump now faces crucial decisions
on Russia, Iran, and China. As you just said, those
adversaries are increasingly wor working together against American interests. Will
the President send a message of deterrence or weakness? That's
(11:09):
a damn good question, and I don't actually, I don't
have the slightest idea. Mister Trump has to decide what
kind of relationship he wants with China, what kind of
how hard he wants to push on Iran, and what
he's going to do on Russia, and these decisions need
to be made soon. The next few months may be
as significant for America's role in the world as any
(11:31):
since the.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
End of the World War.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I think that is without a doubt. True, m m,
it's a big deal. These are not minor things. No, No,
before we take a break, do you think he's leaning
toward throwing up his hands, not our circus, not our monkeys,
or we can't let this happen. Slash Putin's making me
(11:55):
look weak?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I suspect with sixty one percent confidence, sixty one sixty
one percent confidence that we the United States will forcefully
back Ukraine and NATO both for some of the right
reasons and some of the wrong reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Like Trump feels like his manhood is being challenged.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Although that's an uncharitable way to put it, and I
think Trump is easily but hurt and takes everything way
too personally. If the strength of the United States and
its resolution is being challenged, that's kind of in the
same department as the president himself being personally challenged, and
(12:40):
we got to stand up for that. In my opinion,
I invited folks earlier today and I will repeat that invite.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Why are we wrong?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com drop us
note you cannot use the term neokon nor forever wars
because those are not arguments, as are slogans, and we
will consider your your point of view and bring them
to the people tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I know we got to take a break, but if
if I had to bet money, I'd say it goes
that direction.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Also.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But if we make it clear we're arming Ukraine five
hundred percent sanctions, I mean, really go.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Not all in.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean because there'd be troops on the ground quite
a bit in How does Putin react so he go
ahead and fight that fight or realize that I can't
take this on, makes.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Material threats to use a technical nuclear device, moves those
teams into place, rattles a saber very very loudly.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, those are those are going to be some edgy
days if he does that, and he probably will.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
All right, stay here.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Three quarters of adults in the US use supplements, according
to an industry trade group. One study found serious liver
failure cases related to supplements in eightfold between nineteen ninety
five and twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Those still rare.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Experts say consumers should be especially mindful of botanical supplements,
which aren't as well studied. Turmeric green tea extract in Nashra,
Ganda are among the most popular that can lead to
liver damage.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
All right, well, one person change what they're doing based
on that one person in the country.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I've always been a little amused by the whole Uh.
It's not a drug, it's a natural supplement. A drug is,
in effect, to anything that causes a physiological change when
you ingest it or.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Eject it or whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
There are many quote unquote drugs that are made out
of natural substances. There is no dividing line between those
two things. Plus, rocks are very natural. I could swallow
rocks every day.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Wouldn't do me any good.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
This is kind of breaking news. They interviewed the freed
Israeli hostage the American and he said, my captors wanted
COMMLA to be elected. That's on CNA. Oh yeah, of
course they did.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But yeah, yeah, we willed halfway, of course, came across
a really interesting story about these three scumbags. They happen
to be teenage years but you know, young men and
women who committed a murder, a couple of murders, and
they would have gotten a wait with it, except that
the cups in the area subpoena the Google records for
(15:25):
who googled the address of the victims.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Wow, and then they cross referenced that with.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
All sorts of cell phone signals that had been pinged
in that area, and they narrowed it down and busted
these people. They're going to jail for a very very
long time. That is awesome and catching criminals. But man,
if we ever end up with a government that wants
to spy on us, their ability to track a you know,
(15:54):
a political group that wants to, for instance, fite that happening.
Oh yeah, CHIESI in ping is like, yeah, good start guys,
you got the idea. Let it go. A totally different topic,
the Trump administration fighting with Harvard.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
How much time do we have Michael, not very much. Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Whow we haven't trying to deal with foreign students, agitators,
that sort of thing. I'm in support of it in principle.
Some of the stuff they're doing is good. Some won't work,
it won't pass the Court's kind of silly in my opinion.
But there are one point one million foreign students in
the US right now. That's up seven percent from last year.
It's the highest number ever.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Students from China and India count for more than half
of the foreign student population, India more than China. But
there are more than a quarter million Chinese nationals quote
unquote studying in the US right now. Some of them
are studying, some of them are doing espionage work. Some
of them are studying. But we'll be forced to do
espionage work. And why do we permit this? Why do
(16:53):
colleges like this so much? In a word, money study
in twenty fifteen found out found that these foreign students
make up less than five percent of students, but they
contribute twenty eight percent of tuition revenue.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Sespinasby damned a lip reader has figured out what McCrone
and his wife were saying to each other after the
face shoven, stay tuned for.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
That Armstrong and Getty. The video of the show quickly
going viral.
Speaker 7 (17:24):
The president's team initially called it a fake, but later
Macron acknowledged it was real, downplaying the incident, saying he
and his wife what bickering and joking.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Sort bickering or joking.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Bickering and joking, they usually don't go together. Sometimes there's joking,
then it turns into bickering. It doesn't go back to
joking maybe for quite a while. The interesting nugget there
that was news to me. Now we're talking about Macrone.
I assume you know this that the president of France
said they land on their Air Force one and open
(18:01):
the door and she shoves him in the face, and
then he.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Looks out the doors like, ah, everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Saw that, then smiles say everybody ain't nothing to see here.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Then the whole world of speculating what the hell was
going on there? I didn't know that his office anyway.
Their first response to reporters was that was fake, so
freaking weak that. But we knew this was coming with
AI because we had what a week or so ago.
You had to him grabbing the bag of coke off
the table, which to me was obviously fake. But you know,
(18:32):
so the ground has been laid all around the world
with so many fake videos to claim a real one
is fake. I always thought that's gonna be the biggest
danger is of being able to claim the real stuff
is fake, even more than the fake stuff convincing people
of trail.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
We're one hundred percent there, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, that's a trouble. But so what was going on
there with the hersh shoving him in the face. As
I said yesterday, I have seen couples playfully do that
sort of thing, but the way she didn't grab his
arm when they came down the stairs made it seem
I mean, if they had like smiled and held hands
(19:12):
as they went down the stairs, I thought, Okay, that
was just some sort of playful whatever, right, that is
not what he offered his arm and she just turned
and we now know what they said according to a
lip reader. A lip reader read the lips, and here
we go. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in
(19:33):
the face after the door opened, him and Crone noticed
that the cameras were on him. He then said hi,
before raising his hand. Even I, not an expert flip reader,
was able to tell that was some sort of gesture
similar to hi. He then steps closer to her before
composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later,
he signals for her to follow him with let's go,
(19:57):
the lip reader said. He thanks the pilot and waves
at the cameras, trying to recover his public facing image.
But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again,
says the lip reader. He offers his arm, she ignores it,
choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes,
she appears to mutter the gajespet de loser translated in
(20:17):
English stay away you loser.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yes, I don't know if I believe that she actually
said to her husband's stay away you loser.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I mean, that's too much.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No, it fits perfectly with a shove in the face.
Are you kidding? The hand on face? Get away from me?
I am claiming it. I am saying leauthentique.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I have never called a person a female, you know,
love relationship person a loser in an argument.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Ever, I don't can't imagine that I ever would. That
sounds more like a thing a woman would say to a.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Man I've never been called that I would take that
is pretty damned. This is close to broken and irreparable.
That is the one thing a relationship cannot survive. Contempt
both hands. According to the videos, when you really slow
it down, she shoved him in the face with both hands.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
She looks to weigh about one hundred and five pounds.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Of course, he looks to weigh about one hundred and
two pounds, so it's hard to say how that bout
would go.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It is a bank to weight bout, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I hope those crazy kids can settle it before it
comes to the fisticuffs.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
More blows, obviously, so she says stay away, you lose her.
Moments later, the lip reader claims McCrone said as jon
sele pate, which translated to let's try please. She responds none,
which I assume means no, yes his clothing we we
no is none yes we. His closing expression in the
phrase lip red as Java's translated in English as I see,
(21:57):
according to the lipreador.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Or also translating in English as all right, okay, I
got no time for this. So that's how it's going
to be I'm the president of a dying socialist republic
that used to.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Be an empire.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I got no time for your crap, yeah, said the loser.
She replies, you never know with people in their relationships.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
So I remember reading I think it was in the
book Game Change way back in the day. Probably was
about McCain running against O Barack Obama. Mark Alpern and
Heilman wrote that book. Anyway, there was a on the
tarmac moment with John McCain and his wife who they
stayed married till the day he died, and they seemed
to be a happy couple, but he was in her face,
(22:47):
red faced, screaming at her, just screaming at her, And
that was sort of chalked up to he has a temper.
You know, he was a prisoner war beaten daily for
eight years, blah blah blah blah, and she's used to
it or something. But you know, some people are more fiery,
Some people are willing to put up with fiery more
(23:10):
than other people are.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I guess. So who knows.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Maybe she shoves them in the face and does the
don't hold my hand, you lose your routine twice a year.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Who knows, right, right?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's all rings true, though, she's you know, being schlept
around the world on these trips where he's got meetings
and and she's just got a smile and shake hands
and look fascinated by the foreign leaders that you know,
greetings and the rest of it. Then go watch some
native damn dance and eat some native damn food.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And she's not in the mood. She's married to a
French woosy boy.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Some days she's just had it up to here, here
at it and says, get off me, loser.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
You're at some three hour meal where you've got to
talk to the wife of the assistant minister of something
or other. Right, Oh, but it's funny you say that
coming out of We just came out of Jill Biden
with roughly the same lifestyle, seemed to be willing to
do anything to hang onto that lifestyle as opposed to
I'm sick of this different human being. Sure yeah, and
(24:15):
you know, arguing against myself. Michelle Obama, we now know,
and she keeps talking about it more and more. Absolutely
freaking hated the whole first Lady thing, hated every.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Bit of it. Sure yeah, I don't blame her.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I don't blame her either man, the charm would go
out of that really fast for.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Me, and it wasn't because she had a schantz by
the way, so quit with that having a penis maker.
Hate it more or less. I don't be in first lady.
Too much pressure. I don't know, somebody might discover it.
You dance, jan Ellen, and all of a sudden it
slips out of your slacks.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I've seen that video, but no, no, no, it didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But anyway, Yeah, so you had Michelle who despised it,
and Jill Biden, who would perpetrate a fraud and trot
out her senile husband to be humiliated. If that's what
it took to hold onto the trappings of power.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Sure, you did such a great job.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
You answered every question it.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yay.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
And just the backstory again in case you don't remember it.
She was his forty year old teacher when he was fifteen.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
We're back to macron, Macron.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah, yeah, she was a forty year old teacher when
he was fifteen, and they've been together ever since.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Love true love. Oh apparently apparently it is.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Though some days she's had enough as his loser act.
She's given him a C minus as a husband.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I wonder if that's again, that's just part of their lifestyle,
happens a couple times a year. They love each other,
that'll go on, or if things have deteriorated and we're
about to see ah, I don't know, a splitting imagineal
line or something.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
What now? And who cares? We're talking about France.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Nice architecture, some good food there, huh at towery that
tower they got what's that called the Ethel Tower? Very attractive.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
To turn it slightly serious for a moment, the s
might hit the fan with Russia Ukraine and everybody who
backs Ukraine and France will be right there at the
lead of it. It ain't that far away. So he's
going to have some serious, serious decisions and politics he's
(26:33):
dealing with in the coming days and weeks also.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
And they are France is rotten in a lot of ways.
It's interior structures of government and society are rotten, rotted
out by socialism and ultra powerful unions and honestly being
able to indulge those impulses because of the American security
(26:57):
umbrella for last seventy five years.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
But if you and you're in Germany and Britain are
fighting Russia. Maybe on your own if the US back's
out or whatever, you ain't got time for face shovens
by your whole wife.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, true enough, So how old is he now?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Like fifty, so she's seventy five? No idea, I'm gonna
find out how old is Emmanuel Macron?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No, you can't stumble over your worse. It doesn't work
that way.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's what I always tell my son, like, spit it out, son,
what are you D'm not wasting my time with you?
AI my watch said, what are you drunk? Mushmouth hed?
How old Isowel's who?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
The time? I got it right?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
He's forty seven, So she's seventy three? Maybe I don't know,
but she's twenty five years older, is she?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
She was forty He was fifteen, all right, which is
you know, almost fifty and seventy five is not the same,
But forty and fifteen You can get away with that
in France, I guess you would never. You could never
get elected president in the United States hooking up with
your forty year old teacher as a fifteen year old
(28:10):
or vice versa. You couldn't be the first lady who
hosts these, you know, white tied dinners and.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Everything like that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
When you were sexing up your fifteen year old boyfriend
as a forty year old.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
The term cradle robbery used to be thrown around with
a grin and a wink.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Yes, different culture.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
We will finish strong next. We've talked about this a
couple of times today. We think it's a really big deal.
It certainly could turn into the biggest of deals. But
Trump blasts out at Russia yesterday, at Putin. Hey, if
it weren't for me, really really bad things would have
(28:51):
happened to you. Russia blasts back. The only bad thing
I can think of is World War three. Trump taking
questions moments ago. First question was about Russia Ukraine. I'm
just wondering what he said.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Do you believe the Russians are being disrespectful when they
say that your criticisms of Putin are simply an emotional response.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And do you still believe that Putin actually wants to
end the war?
Speaker 8 (29:17):
I can't tell you that, but I'll let you know
in about two weeks. Within two weeks, we're going to
find out very soon. We're going to find out whether
or not he's tapping us along or not, And if
he is, we'll respond a little bit differently, but it'll
take about a week and a half, two weeks. We
have mister Whitgoff is here, is doing a phenomenal job,
is dealing with them very strongly. Right now, they seem
(29:41):
to want to do something, but until the document is signed,
I can't tell you.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
The document. Is he talking about the cease fire agreement?
I don't know, So I wondered what he got two weeks?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Why two weeks? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
And that wasn't the best first question if you're gonna
ask a question about you rush the Ukraine to me,
I mean, it sounded to me like whoever that reporter was,
they wanted to tee up the you know, the personality battle.
He says, you're being emotional. How do you feel about
it as opposed to you know, all the brass tacks
of foreign diplomacy and war right like it's an episode
of Big Brother?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah yeah, situation where hundreds of thousands of people are
being killed.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah too. I don't know why you put a two
week deadline on it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's a very Trumpian semi leak of something going on
behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Who's tappened? Who along? Okay, by the way, have you
ever heard that expression that's just tapping me along?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I'm never in my life have I heard it? Curious
tapping along? But it must be a queen's real estate
sort of thing, you say. Uh, Whitcoff is working on
an agreement in the Okay that is never ever gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I'm working on reanimating a corpse. I'm gonna call him
Joeenstein's monster. Please, I'm gonna reanimate a corpse before Steve
Whitcof Witkoff is gonna settle the Russian invasion of your See.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
The problem with that is Putin wants to delay. He
heard that? Oh cool, another two weeks.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
All I gotta do is come up with yet another
dumb reason to delay for another two weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
As I just keep delaying and doing whatever the hell
I want until I get in the US is not
fully you know, backing Ukraine? Yeah, right, and the sanctions
haven't happened.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
In fact, in two weeks or three or four or five,
you'll come out and say, all right, all right, I
see your point. You know what all killing? What was
I thinking? I lost my mind, let's figure out how
we stopped the killing. And he's stringing along for another
month or.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Two, whatever it takes.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I'm sure we'll have more on this tomorrow. For those
of you who were into the Tate brothers, Andrew and
Tristan Tate, and I won't explain who they are if
you don't know. They've been charged with twenty one counts
of rape and many other crimes by the Brits and
that's going to be its own Diddy style trial over there.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Uh yeah, if they can haul them in. Where are
they They're back in the US now.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
They're seen as right wing influencers, whether that's fair or not.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, they're not left wing. They're heroes to a lot
of the right wing for some reason.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, the young, angry, displaced ideologically right wingy guys.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, which bothers me.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, bothers me too. It's too bad. These are times
of great discontent. Jack, how much time have we gotten
that word is discontent? Yes, about twenty seconds.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
We had twenty seconds. We had we do a four
hour show. We had three hours and fifty nine minutes
worth of material, and then we ran out. It happens tomorrow.
We'll try to show up with full four full hours.
Oh we're gone.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
It's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap of the show. Wouldn't that be lovely? How
about Mike Langelo leading the way? Michael in the control room?
Speaker 7 (33:11):
I hit it, Jack, you were talking about your son
getting in a fight with another little kid of argument,
no fight, argument for politics.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Well, I guess this is common.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I had somebody text me and she said that another
little boy had a cardboard pie chart about social Security
reform and he hit another little boy with the damn thing.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Thought some Medicaid cuts were too deep.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
So I guess this is getting, you know, quite common.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, these are fevered times. Katie Green is off this week. Jack,
Do you have a final thought for us?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I was. My son moved up the next level in
boy Scouts last night, and he was very proud of himself,
and he put in a lot of work. I couldn't
be a bigger fan of that organization. I mean I
was in it as a kid as many many years ago.
Seeing it up close now, a lot of parents really
dedicating a lot of time and effort to it and
it's just absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
My final thought is I was hoping to get into
this but didn't get a chance. San Francisco is doing
some really really good things about cleaning itself up.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
The new leadership is absolutely kicking butt, and a lot
of neighborhood organizations have come together and are advocating for
themselves in their neighborhoods in a way that is very
very American.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
It's cool. I have seen it with my own eyes.
I was there all day on Saturday. It is.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
It's starkly different than it was a year ago. I mean,
it's starkly to do.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
And the neighborhood folks who did not passively wait for
the authorities to do something, they said, this is our city,
this is our neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
We're going to do something good for y'all. You get
further down Mission Street, it's the same old, same old oid.
It's disgusting. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up on other grueling
four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
So many people think, so a little time go to
Armstrong andedtdy dot com pickups, me ANGI swag, maybe one
of those light hoodies for the favorite eight and g
fan on your gift list.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Maybe it's you yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Office a note mail bag at Armstrong at geeddy dot
com and hit those hot links sassinating. We will see
tomorrow with all the latest. God bless America.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the
dancing bears has passed.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
What the American people need is a break. Let's go, Brandon.
I will not sugarcoat this. This is a disappointing day
for us. Big mistake, but not too bad.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
The fun level in this room is at an eleven
right now, and that brought it down, and we apologize
for our stupidity.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, he's a damn idiot. Go away, get out of here.
You more on you hit me, take your turtle kneck
import on that high note. Thank you all very much,
Armstrong and Getty.
