Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
And Getie and he arms get.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Live on a Friday from Studio C season your dimly
lit room deep with on the bowels of the Armstrong
and Getting Communications Compound. And hey, y'all, today we're under
the tutelage of our general manager. Angry young women, and
it's not about my dating history. God entirely angry young women.

(00:52):
I finally found the scholarship I'm looking for.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I've been looking for to help me understand why it's
so overwhelmingly.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Young women who are insane these days. Okay, I think
I finally get it. Joe shared it out with y'alls
having raised young women, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
And I had clues, I had hints.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I had a kind of a murky, half formed understanding
of it.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
You have the advantage of having raised girls and boys,
well boy, but yes, whereas I have raising only boys.
And I was talking to somebody. I've had this experience
a couple of times where I've talked to people who've
raised only girls and like, when either side interacts with
the other or sees it, They're like, wow, this is
completely different than what I'm doing, Like the raising girls

(01:38):
way different than raising boys. Yeah, and coaching both sexes
for years and years helped me understand a lot better too,
you know, the differences and the way they interact.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Especially uh huh yeah, and uh because.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Within a team, I mean, you have all sorts of
socializing going on.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's so interesting to observe.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
I was at a school yesterday and just talking about
my boys being teenagers now, and they had girls and boys,
and they said, all the girls are way harder as teenagers,
you know, in terms of being worried. I imagine I
would my level would be much higher. Yeah, there's that,
And just the emotional complexity of the evolving relationship with

(02:21):
dudes boys.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's it's not easy at all, but it's not.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's there are like two aspects to it. With girls,
it's like a roller coaster of ever changing. Oh my god,
and why is that evolutionary speaking? Oh gosh, wow, I
you know, this would be a long conversation. The way

(02:47):
women express loyalty, hostility, friendship, anger, et cetera. Is often
less straightforward than the way males do. If a dude
is mad at you.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
You're gonna know it because he's gonna tell you.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So. I wonder, I wonder if it had women more
than men hold societies together or did you know, through
most of evolution for human beings, and that would be
more complicated than you know, just getting thirty dudes together
to go hunt a bison, right, right, although bison hunting

(03:22):
is no uh picnic, but it's a very straightforward task. Yeah,
I see what you mean. Yeah, not the complexities of
the whole village and trying to figure that out.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And this actually relates directly to what I was talking
about with the angry young women and the way women
perceive the world and the way they form coalitions makes
them particularly prone to radicalization, especially if and this is
a little hint, but this should not be shocking to anybody,

(03:54):
especially if you can provoke their natural maternal instinct, that
same instinct that if a woman hears an infant crying,
doesn't matter her kid, somebody else's kid, the kid of
her mortal enemy, unless she's a psycho, she will feel
a strong urge to help, to comfort, to to you know,

(04:16):
to take care of that infant.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Where this is as deep in our DNA as anything.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
That can be easily manipulated by those who would radicalize women.
Interesting And that's just one layer of it. But yeah,
it's super interesting. We'll get to that in an hour
two of the show.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
So this morning.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I got a text yesterday from a friend of mine
who said, I did a cold plunge this morning and
it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
It was absolutely awesome. Changed his life, it was her,
but changed your life.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yes, And you know, and I had been threatening to
do this for quite some time, and I thought, I'm
gonna do it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm gonna jump in my pool in the morning. Yes.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
And I got up this morning and I just I
was afraid this would happen, and I thought, I can't
bring myself to jump in my pool. But I did
jump in a cold shower. I turned on the shower
and immediately got under there, which was quite shocking. I
made it made me go whoa.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, we've all done it.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I made noises and expelled breath and everything like that.
And I'll tell you what, I hated it and I
don't look forward to doing it and it ever again.
But I felt so awesome afterwards. I mean, the level
of invigoration and ready for the day was off the charts. Now,
if you were to like start it just like lookwarm

(05:37):
and then go toward cold, would that have the same
effect or do you have to have the shot? I
have no idea if the shock is the key or
not the best part of it. I'll bet it is too.
And I really want to do the jump in the
pool thing. Oh, I was ad we all think you should. Well.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I was asked, so have.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
You done that whole heart monitor thing and I said, no,
I have, and actually you might want to do the
heart monitor thing where you go jump in the cold
pool first.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Year, but uh, I don't know. It was you know.
So we got started by this client.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
We have a good dude that does it and he
hates he hates it and every day he dreads it.
He gets up in the morning things, oh God, I
gotta do it again. He hates every bit of it,
but loves the results. So he's been doing it for
a long time now. He bought one of the actual
you know, dub things that you do.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
But wow, it was it was shocking what it did
to me. It was just like WHOA bring it on world?
I mean, and I never feel that way. That is
so it's I am.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I think I am perfectly symmetrically intrigued and horrified, like
exactly the same levels of each. But why would something
that we dread so much be so good that that
that usually you dread things because you know, getting back
to evolution or our you know, our evolution is telling
us this is good idea. Well, I think what's going

(07:02):
on here? And this is my guess as a physician
now I fancy myself an amateur physician, is that the
human body has various gears from like just waking up
to you know, later onund on a summer's day, on
up to I'm at warwick on up to I'm coaching

(07:22):
soccer for instance, up to I'm under attack and my
life is at stake, right, And that you can't stay
at that level, that last level, partly because for millions
and millions of.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
The years you didn't have nearly enough calories available.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think you're artificially putting yourself in def Con one
and it feels.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Great, which we don't get enough.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Probably as modern adults, you probably got almost never historically speaking, well,
you get fight or flight every once in a while,
but not very often in the modern world every couple
of years.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Maybe that's what I meant by almost never.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, and uh, and I wonder back in the old
timy days, you might have gotten it every day, least
onely regularly. Yes, that's a pretty good theory right there
for an amateur doctor. Anyway, we should start the show officially.
But I've done it day one. I really enjoyed it hesitating.
But when I started it though, I thought, nah, maybe tomorrow.

(08:23):
But yeah, I thought you gotta do it all.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well, wait a minute, now is this I'm intrigued. I
have ideas.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean, for instance, if you don't want a cold
plunge and I don't, how about have just like a
lion run through your subdivisionality again?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Music sweet got it's a lion. You would feel fully alive,
higher and out.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
A don't work actor to put on a hockey mask
and jump up from behind the closet with a long blade, right,
But obviously it's got to be varied otherwise it's like.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Hey, Jim, how are you? Is that a new hockey mask?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, it wouldn't work, right, Okay, let's start the show
and there's the lion.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I you would feel alive.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getti on this It is Friday,
July eleventh. You're twenty twenty five Armstrong.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
You get in.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
We approve of this program. It's seven eleven. Is there
something stupid happening today in that seven store? Offering discounts?
Are free slushies? Do you have free slurpies or something today?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Michael, don't take our word for it. If you go
into seven eleven and they say, what are you talking about,
we don't walk out with a slurpey. Yeah, all right,
here we go. Let's start the show officially now. According
to f CC Rules of Regulations, leaping into action at Mark.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
The parent company of Rich issuing a voluntary recall of
some sandwich crackers, the company saying some individually wrapped crackers
may be incorrectly labeled as cheese that may have peanut
butter inside. Shoppers with peanut allergies or urged to discard
any product identified in the recall.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
That is a funny news story, well, especially with that
stupid idiot data Vor using his ultra serious voice with
cheese and peanut butter, people thinking they're going to get
cheese got peanut butter, all right, how many.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
People actually have dangerous peanut allergies? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
It doesn't taste like cheese or peanut butter. Is the
thing with those little rich crackers. They're delicious, but.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
They don't taste like either one of those things.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
The only way to tell the difference is the horrifically
cancer inducing, completely artificial dies.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, change exactly.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Please put that cheese orange dye in the formerly kind
of tannish brown peanut butter. Fake peanut butter. People would
swear it's cheese. So we've got Katie's headlines on the way.
We do need to get into the news of the day.
There is some lots to talk about. Stay here. We
got some trade stuff that's brand new. May or may

(10:40):
or may not be in Katie's headlines. But I was
reading the newsletter I read every morning to see what's
going on in the world.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
And Mark Alpern wrote.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
As Planet Earth continues to revolve around DJT to a
degree that would flummex the founders.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
That is absolutely true.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
The whole world and everything in this revolves around one
guy's decisions in a way that really wasn't the way
The whole thing was crafted. But that's partially because the
not partially almost entirely because the main branch of government, Congress,
has decided.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Eh, you do it right, right.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
We just want to keep our jobs forever and our
healthcare and our pensions and not have to do anything
or beyond the record. So if you would just do everything,
that would be great. Yeah, some of the stuff's great
as usual. Some of it is inexplicable and bizarre and terrible.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
This is why we didn't want it king anyway, more
of that to come. Let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with Katie Green. Katie all right,
starting with ABC.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Trump is heading to Texas after catastrophic flooding.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't know that it does anybody any good anytime
that happens, but you gotta.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
NBC Ice faces off with protesters at Southern California cannabis farm.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I saw this.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
This was huge, and they have a fifty thousand dollars
reward out for one of these guys that brand just
a gun at the ice officers.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Wow, we're gonna have a bad scene. I mean, we've
already had some bad scenes. We're gonna have some worse scenes.
I think now, is that the Antifa scumbag who shot
at ICE officers, because yeah, he's all right. I think
that's a different thing, but maybe not anyway. Yeah, you're
hearing all sorts of news, aren't you, in commentary on
your your cable channels and your major news sites about

(12:34):
Antifa and how dangerous they are and.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Gun wielding lunatics. No, not so much. Huh, that's funny CNN.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Trump threatens thirty five percent tariff on Canadian goods and
he made double what most other nations are charged.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, man, does he hate Canada or what the deal?
But we got some polling I meant to get to
yesterday on what Canadians and Mexicans in a variety of
other countries think of the United States.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
It's really interesting.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, and there are a couple other movies he's made,
including a fifty percent terrify copper that is going to
brutalize the American economy.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
There's just no reason for it. Thank god we got
rid of the penny from Breitbart dot Com.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
DHS Trisia McLaughlin says, we have arrested almost six hundred
known or suspected terrorists.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Really six hundred six hundred Wow. From the New York Times.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Two dozen hospitalized in mass drug overdose in Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh, got some bad fentanyl or whatever? What was it?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
So I was reading through the article and officials have
not said what the drug is, but I mean it
has to be fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Well it could be in Philly, you said, Baltimore. Baltimore, Okay, yeah,
they have a terrible drug problem too. It could be
trank or or one of those other I forgot about.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Drugs? Was the thing in San Francisco the other day?
It was spent in a laced with rat rat poisons.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
From the Hollywood reporter Larry David returning to HBO with
an Obama produced sketch series.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay, go ahead, Well is it gonna be political?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I hope not. Is that just where he got the
seed money?

Speaker 4 (14:31):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Just let me let me know if it's any good.
From the New York Post.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
A great Detroit father's final wish is granted as helicopter
drops money and rose pedals from the sky.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
What now?

Speaker 4 (14:49):
This guy's dying wish was to drop money over the
neighbor neighborhood he grew up In this helicopter drives over
and starts dropping rose pedal and money, and everybody goes nuts.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Four people were killed preceding him into the grave during
the melee.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
From study fines happy thoughts could be the secret to
a stronger memory. Wow, okay, saying that being positive reinforces
your mind.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh okay, all right, I'm positive that won't work.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
So I also read a study that if you have
frequent nightmares, you're much more likely to die prematurely.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, I don't.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Which we can get into, but I'm thinking, you know,
if you do have frequent nightmares, you're already in a
bit of a mood. I mean, it's not good. And
now I'm telling you you're going to die early.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
I feel bad.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I feel like I'm piling on. But it's really interesting.
It was, you know, intense surges of fear over and
over again wear you out. Back to our earlier theme
of lions and cold plunges.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
And finally, from the Babylon b Mattel introduces new Ozepic
barbie with syringe and detachable belly.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
That's based on the barbie, the first ever barbie with diabetes, right, yeah,
type one diabetes and It was funny when you said that.
I was thinking, really, type one, which is you know, genetic,
it's a condition as opposed to obesity caused, which is
type two. But yeah, sure enough, it's type one. Ninety

(16:28):
to ninety five percent of cases of diabetes are type two.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh really, Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, just looked
it up.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Okay, so you're yeah, So why Barbie type one diabetes
is a pretty good question because they didn't want a
heavy set Barbie. I guess under any circumstances. Look, we
want to resonate with the diabetes crowd, but we can't
have a fat Barbie. So what do we do? How
about type one diabetes? Just a pancreatic condition. Excellent job, Jones,

(16:57):
You're promote him. And then a ken who's one leg
is slightly longer than the other and all everything that
comes with that.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Limpy Ken, limpy Ken. Wow.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Okay, maybe we can get to some of the actual
news of the day. Yet, the tariff thing on some
of our friends and then some of their attitudes toward
us according to polls, a lot of it based around
the tariffs is pretty interesting. All kinds of stuff on
the way. If you miss a segment gets the podcast
Armstrong and Getty on.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Demand Armstrong and Getty.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's an interesting angle to the headline. So Katie had
one of our headlines was about Ice and the raid
on the pot farm, and then that turned violent and everything.
And then he made the point that this is getting
no news coverage. Violent attacks with guns on federal agents
who are just enforcing the current law right is getting

(17:48):
passed by Congress is getting zero attention in the news
unless you're watching Fox.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
And then this point being made.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Ice rescued many illegal alien children from forced labor on
Merrill one of farms. I mean, so they've got child
labor going on there, right, which you don't.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Allow for you know, white kids.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, you're not allowed to work under the age of
sixteen because I'd be exploitive.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, it's the whole thing is so crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yet another example a measure of how utterly dishonest and
and stupid blind our media is. On the other hand,
they're dying, so true, there's our vengeance. Uh, let's we've
got so much to get to and including a couple
more examples of that sort of thing. But first, excuse me,

(18:34):
it's the Friday tradition let's take fun look back at
the week there was.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's cow clips of the week. Get rid of the gorilla, Henry,
the whips of the week. You guys need to get
off the gol course. You're not scaring anybody. Come on, man, No, yeah,

(18:58):
I wish I ate a couple more.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
I'm so al right, guys, I'll sang your car for
a fraction of the price of a parking ticket.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I exceeded OTS by twenty five percent, retaining customer growth.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
The TSA saying, effective immediately, all passengers will be able
to keep their shoes on through security, the company saying
some individually wrapped crackers may be incorrectly labeled as cheese
that may have peanut butter inside. Hey god, they called
this area flash flood Alley.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Four months of rate fell in a matter of hours.
In the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, it's sitting on
my desk right now, meaning the file. That's what I
meant by that.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
A Democrat politician is calling for those to ratchet up
their activities and spill blood.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
There were many, many, many dozens of rounds fired from
by the suspect towards ability Evan.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Musk breaking even more from President Trump saying he will
create the America Party.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Julian Musk vow to retrain his AI system known as Grok.
Those changes appear to have prompted Grok to use some
anti Semitic tropes, the chatbot going so far as praising
Adolf Hitler.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
We get a lot of emotion thrown at us by.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Poop, the Russian leader unleashing his largest aerials sold yet
on Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
So I don't know what and you tell me what.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Does it say that such a big decision could be
made inside your government without you knowing.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I would know if a decision was made.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I will know.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
President Trump now saying the US will resume weaponship ins
to Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
The Iranians were very serious. How about wanting to take
out the president? The letter I sent to the Nobel
Prize Committee, Oh, it's moment in you for the Peace Prize,
which is well deserved. We're gonna have a UFC fight.
We're gonna have a UFC fight. Think of this on
the grounds of the White House.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Come on, man, Wow ended on a sour note there

(21:27):
that call me Daddy podcast chick intensely abusing the national anthem.
So Wrigley Field, of all plays the shrine of baseball,
the ball game not quite as egregious, but still it's
a haload tradition. Right, yeah, I'm sorry, right exactly. So
we need to dig more. Wait a minute, the national
anthem isn't the one with a peanuts and cracker jack.

(21:49):
I'm always getting them confused. That's a funny slip of
the brain. There no ours does that. I just saw
this from Uh, I don't remember who. One of our
followers who's funny the other day had tweeted on fourth
of July.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's right our national anthem.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
The middle part of it includes a long passage about
blowing us up. Well, I'm thinking about Francis Scott Key.
Are the ramparts we watched for the peanuts and cracker jack?
Uh huh no, So Katie, you can do this for
news or whatever, and we'll do it. Also, we need
to dig more into this whole immigration rate at the

(22:22):
marijuana farm. I'm catching a lot more on this, and
it's quite the story because Gavin Newsom, the governor, is
out saying all kinds of things about parents being disappeared
into violent or dangerous, horrifying detention centers, blah blah blah.
And they're activists trying to stop ice from rounding up

(22:43):
to people at this illegal marijuana cru All right, I'm
watching the video and I see the tear gas and
the people running, but I don't see what led up
to it. So got to look into this more. But
Gavin Newsom tweeted out kids running from tear gas, crying
on the phone because their mother was just taken from
the fields. Trump called me newscum. He's the real scum,
says Gavin Newsom. Wow, way to be on the wrong

(23:05):
side of every issue you putts. The California Border Patrol
Commissioner tweeted out, here's some breaking news. Ten juveniles were
found at this marijuana facility, all illegal aliens, eight of
them unaccompanied. It's now under investigation for child labor violations.
So you got eight kids there working in the fields

(23:25):
and there are no parents there, right, So they're imported
child labor, they're trafficked child laborers. And when the federal
Offeds try to go in there and deal with it,
Gavin Newsom says, it's disgusting and.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Wrong way to go. Gavy, way to read the room.
You idiot.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Je I just wish we could have an honest conversation
about this.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Look, we have lots of people here illegally. That's the law.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Do you want to enforce it or not. Let's figure
that out, and then are we all comfortable with the
fact that we've decided there are certain kinds of jobs
we don't want our kids to do, or we don't
want to do ourselves. So we're gonna import brown people
and have them do it. And if we can't get
enough brown grown ups, let's bring in some brown children.
They'll work right, they don't know any better, and if

(24:12):
they try to leave, will beat them or something, says
the left in America. So man, Yeah, so we got
to dig more into that story, because that's a big one.
Today Katie's working the pot farm beat. We'll do that
what next hour maybe, And it's also just an interesting
story that illegal platforms continue to be apparently a profitable business,

(24:35):
even with marijuana illegal. One hundred percent. Yeah, legal marijuana
has done nothing to the illegal marijuana market because, especially
in cant Unicornea, it is so taxed and regulated it
is prohibitively expensive compared to the illegal stuff. And given
the lack of will to enforce marijuana laws. At this point,

(24:57):
those who have a better margin in the league illegal
trade have very little, uh to fear. Well, if you
could buy illegal gas in California that didn't have the
taxes on it, I'd be buying that every day.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
And where is that available?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Exam theory exactly So different story, but also a big story. Today,
President Trump said he plans to impose blanket tariffs of
fifteen or twenty percent on almost all trade partners. It
says here in NBC News, which is a little prejudicial obviously,
dismissing concerns that further tariffs could negatively affect the stock

(25:31):
market or drive inflation. Well, he thinks it's going to
positively affect the stock market over time and make the
country better.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's why he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
He might be wrong, but I mean that's his His
intent is not to make things worse, right, But I
think this is pretty interesting.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Some polling that came.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Out, where's the US considered the most important ally and
where's it considered the greatest threat?

Speaker 2 (25:57):
They asked people that in various countries.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
For instance, in Israel, which is where the population likes
US the most. For a lots of obvious reasons. Ninety
five percent of Israelis considered the United States their greatest ally,
one percent their greatest threat. The worst number and the
second to worst number are what stand out. You go

(26:21):
down the list, I mean South Korea, it's eighty nine percent,
say greatest ally, Jet you go buddy, Japan's seventy eight percent,
greatest ally. But you go down the list, you get
down to the bottom.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Worst.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Mexico sixty eight percent greatest threat to Mexico is the
United States, and Canada fifty nine percent say the greatest
threat to their country is the United States.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh that one hurts well, even Mexico.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, you think we're not keeping you from being run
by China or someone else. You really think some of
the country wouldn't with all your natural resources, one of
these big, bad, violent countries wouldn't come in and say, hey,
we're taking over, but we have cartels, get the f
out of here cartels.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
And I mean now, China would say right, and they
would take care of it.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
They would send one hundred thousand men yeah to take
care of that. Uh yeah, yeah, well that's troubling.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
God.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I would say, you're the two countries that border you
believe you're the biggest threat to them. Yeah, there are
aspects of Trump's foreign policy that I've just absolutely hated.
The thing with Canada is, you know, a lot of
this stuff will settle down. Canada will be like, well,
we're Okaya and uh, and we'll go back to being buddies.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I think mostly hockey seasons starting.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Mexico's a little more complicated, i'd say, and good way. Now,
Trump did threatn to like send the military in to
deal with the cartels and that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm sure that.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Because you have to remember, a country like Mexico has
irresponsible clickbait media.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It's just like we do.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Sure, and so for all I know, that's like a
narrative in the left leaning media. I would think if
you lived in Mexico, you'd want the United States to
send the military in and wipe out the cartels. Tell
you what if I'm running some you know, county newspaper,
some small time or bigtime news operation, and the cartels
are like, yeah, we kind of like this angle that

(28:22):
the US is the real threat.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
You're gonna run those stories.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I would like to know what these numbers were prior
to Liberation Day when all the tariff stuff started, I
got it, or I guess Trump had already talked about
taking over Canada and making it the fifty first state.
I think that's where most of the anger comes from,
don't you from Canada?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, well you're going to be our state. Talk.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, that's the only source of it, you know, think
the tariffs plays a role? Oh no, no, those two things,
that set of things you mentioned, Yeah, that's it. It's
not like long simmering resentments. There aren't any. That's something though.
And one more thing. Trump told Kristin Walker of NBC News.
I believe he did an interview that's going to air

(29:07):
and meet the press. Read the Russia Ukraine thing, which
is quite the developing story. And I want to read
Peggy Noonan's column in the Wall Street Journal today about
how heartened as she is and Trump's turn against isolationism.
She makes quite the argument against isolationists too, in her
very eloquent way.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
But maybe we'll get to that later.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Trump told Christian Walker of NBC News yesterday that the
United States is continuing to send weapons to Ukraine through
NATO and that he will be making a major statement
on Russia on Monday. Oh my, So I wonder if
he's going to announce the big package of what's the
word armaments, no sanctions, sanctions, He's going to finally announce

(29:53):
that big sanction thing on Monday. He's made a turn
for what a reason?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Right? Right?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
That much is clear, you know there are I was
going to make the case later that well, no, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Going to make the case now.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's it's it's it's provocative, it's dare I say dangerous,
and so I want to be able to support it. Okay,
So we'll dig into that raid on the legal potfarm
and try to figure out what's going there. Gavin saying
he calls me new scum, he's the scum.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Okay, I wish we could have the conversation about this
at all. It's slightly higher level, but you.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Know, with a with the ship is saled, ship has sale,
no kidding. We've got mail bag on the way and
a bunch of other stuff. Stay here. Got an American
chick in the finals at Wimbledon. She knocked off the
number one seed yesterday. Good USA Democratic Party has got

(30:55):
an Antifa problem in a way that they've never had before.
Byron New York writing in The Washington Examiner. Maybe we'll
get to that an hour two. That's a heck of
an interesting story that's going to grow. Yeah, I think
they've had that problem for a long time, but the
cover up's been successful. But perhaps I'm quick quibbling. I
can't wait to hear this to stay with us. If
you can't subscribe to the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand,

(31:17):
you can listen to anytime you want later on.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Ah, here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Continuing on with our series from the great Thomas Sowell,
who turned ninety five lately, I've made a command decision.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
We will have two quotes today too.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Open ended demands are a mandate for ever expanding government
bureaucracies with ever expanding budgets and powers. Absolutely true, concise
description of reality. And then this is one of his
all timers. This is one of his you know, five
greatest hits. I have never understood why it is greed

(31:56):
to want to keep the money you have earned, but
it's not greed to want to take somebody else's money.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, that is that is so good.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Mailbag drops no mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.
If you want to keep your own money, you're a
bad person. If you want to take someone else's money,
you're a good person. Guess in the perverse upside down
universal progressivism, JT and Livermore has a couple of thoughts.
The first about the first Barbie with diabetes? What the

(32:27):
f I have no problem from a free market point
of view. If they think they can sell more dolls
this way, more power to them. But what does it
even mean to have a doll with a disease that
can't be reflected in any way by the actual doll?
I mean it would be like making a Barbie and
declaring she was born with only one kidney. With respect
to diabetes, she doesn't have any internal organs, let alone

(32:49):
a pancreas. Nor does she have an immune system that
she can't suffer from an autoimmune disease like diabetes. What's
next the first Barbie with trice to me twenty seven?
The first ken with prostate answer? These dolls don't even
have a hint of genitalia, so it cannot be justified
on the notion of educational value.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
That's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Oh boy, I have a great joke in mind. It
just looks like a regular Barbie. No, no, no, this
is high cholesterol Barbie. And then, on the topic of
Comy and Brennan being investigated for perjury, can we expect
a dawn raid by an FBI tactical team like they
did to Roger Stone, given that one or both of

(33:33):
them are being accused of the same crime that was
cited as justification for the Stone raid. Lying to congress Man,
Brennan put a pretty strong pushback yesterday. He is he
is one of the all time shady lion, scary people.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I hope yes gets outed. Yeah, one of the Alzheimers.
I agree.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Another Jay in San Jose writes the Russian lynchings could
all the mysterious deaths of Russian officials and vipis be
the modern day equivalent of the hangings in the town Square?

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Well, they are in a very real way.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
They just let you know what happens if you get
on the wrong side of Putin. And he also writes
they will continue until morale improves. That's dark and let's
see how about Aaron and sin City. Good morning, Big
Freedom and simple Jack. Difficult for me to write this
email because, I, like many friends of a g think
Michelangelo is a national treasure, but I must voice concern

(34:29):
regarding the inconsistency of the Hitler ding What actually triggers
the dan Recently, Hitler discussions on the show produce dings
barely fifty percent of the time. Hitler dings are some
of my favorite moments of the show. Could an in
turn be placed on the Hitler bell, or given recent news,
maybe Groc would volunteer to ring the bell for der
fure And in case anyone is keeping score, this email

(34:52):
deserves precisely.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
For dings KD THB.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Keep dinging that Hitler bell, Aaron, and since and we've
heard zero dings the other one?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
What Katie, I.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Was just gonna say, Michael gave you the biggest middle finger.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
You just didn't play one that whole yeah, yeah, right
right yeah, you tell me how to do my job, Aaron.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Well, And as I've been forced to clarify through the years,
it's for gratuitous mentions of the Chancellor of Germany, not
historically relevant ones. And I've yelled at Michael, sometimes rapidly
in German, for misinterpreting that.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Okay, we got to get to a whole bunch more news.
I hope you can stick around for hour two Armstrong
