Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong and Jetty
and know He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm here a Jurassic World used to be Jurassic Park.
It was just informed that it's no, it's dressing World. Actually,
you seem to be moving dinosaurs all over the globe.
Seems like a pretty bad idea. You think that they've
learned from their past mistakes. What about in the nineties
when Theresaurs friends stropping through San Diego? It where what.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Will California learn? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
That's a good Tucker Carlson personation by a comedian.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Wow Wow, Well the laugh gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But to start the beginning, I mean, I really like
play that the beginning part again, I'm here in Jurassic World.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He used to be Jurrassic Park. It was just important
that it's no, it's dressing World, Ashley.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
So that sort of thing there that he does all
the time. Just you know, the powers that be have
done something wrong. We all know that's wrong. But I
won't explain tint at it. We'll all nod yes, yes.
Jeffrey Epstein the Israelis. Yes, Jurassic World, now, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
That's pretty good. I went to coming up.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
If you're a special interest or you're a powerful person
in California and you want something from the government, what
you do is you write a giant check to Gavin
Newsom's wife's charity and then Gavin will do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Stay tuned for the details. He laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
So I went to the Jurassic movie with my thirteen
year old and he has crossed into the age of
four teenager doom like his brother, which hadn't happened until
very recently, which is good, you know, ultimately, but you
don't want him to have the attitude of a little
kid the rest of their lives.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But he wanted to go to the Jurassic movies. Really
into that.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
He's really into dinosaurs, all that sort of stuff. He
had a kid he was hoping would go to the
movie with him, but that kid was on vacation. The
movie came out, he needed to see it the first week,
so he was willing to go with me. So we
went to the Jurassic movie Friday night together. We get there,
he's sitting there, there's a lot of kids in the theater.
He said, Dad, it's going to be really embarrassing if
(02:36):
anybody sees me sitting with my dad. Could you sit
somewhere else? And I said sure, that's fine because I
wasn't thrilled about watching the Jurassic movie anyway. I don't
I don't go to movies really at all, and I
certainly don't go to dinosaur movies.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I said, yeah, see, I love the idea of
the dinosaur movie plays giant lizards running the rough shot
across the landscape eating people.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Love that idea.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I got up, going to a different seat, walked
out of the theater and went next door and had
a burrito.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Which was absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
And I sat there and I had my burrito by myself,
a nice quiet reading my phone while I was eating
my burrito. And then I went back in and caught
the last part of the movie and he said, what
did you think of it? I thought, yeah, it was
dinosaurs or something, which I assume is a good That's
all for I just I cannot handle formulaic movies. I
(03:29):
never really liked them, but I've reached a point where
I just can't do it. Just I'm amazed that they
still make so much money that you all like them.
I mean, it's the same plot all of these movies
all the time. They have the scientist, geeky guy who
the girl eventually falls for, and then you got kind
of the schlubby dude, often played by Jack Black, but
(03:51):
not in this case. This is kind of corny and
has funny Joe. Just it's the same characters and every
one of these freaking movies, and they have the same
conversations that I just can't.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, some people I read about this, and I was
super curious about this, because, just by way of illustration,
I convinced my wife we should rent on the streaming
the new Wes Anderson movie. Wes Anderson, if you know him,
you love him? Rushmore, Moonlight, Serenade?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was that the name of a movie?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Just the Hotel Budapest is just brilliant artists. He makes
art movies and I love him dryly hilariously surreal movies.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The Royal Tembombs was him right, right.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, Yeah, he's got a great list of very quirky movies.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But you love him or you don't get them.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And my beloved bride, my favorite human being Unearthed just
doesn't get Wes Anderson. She's like, I'm really glad you're
enjoying this so much.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't get it. She likes that formulaic stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So I was extra interested in understanding that there are
there's a substantial chunk of humanity that finds it comforting
that in the chaos and stress of the world and
life and death and disease and hopes realized and hopes dashed,
it's comforting. It's like my favorite Beatles song.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
So it's the familiarity that people like, yeah, oh god,
that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, I guess that kind of makes sense.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It is so off putting to me, but for a
majority of people it's like this is I can relax.
I know exactly what these characters are. I know it's
gonna happen. I know nothing bad is going to happen
to any of the people I like in this movie.
That guy there, who's a jerk through the whole movie
is gonna get it coming.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he does.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Trinosaurus thing bites him in half, his arm comes off,
rips is pearl, Argon's right out of his belly.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Spoiler alert. If you're a moron.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And didn't think the guy who was rude to the
girl was gonna end up getting eaten by a dinosaur
and all the people you like are gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just again, do you like that? You like that?
I guess like here's the scene.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's funny you you were at understanding for like three
seconds then went right back to contempt.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Am I wrong, Katie?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
No, that's I'm actually loving how upset jacket.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Here's here's the scene that I just can't stand. I've
seen this like seventy times in my life. I think
it was in one of the superhero movies I saw recently,
and it does I hope I can portray this well enough.
You got somebody he's trying to solve the pressure situation. Yeah, like,
(06:35):
and he's on he's working on calculations, or he's on
the trying to do something, and somebody says, we.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Just got a call. I don't have time for.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That right now. Or you're gonna want to take this call.
This better be good? That scenett. Yeah, I'm in the
middle of solving this major problem that is a plot
point for this movie. You're gonna want to take this call.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
All right? But this better be good. And it's a.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Major plot point, sir, It's a new one that's really
gonna change the arc of the story better.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Taking it makes me.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Want to die seeing that for the seventieth time in
a movie.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I know, I know, I'm like you. Who's that four?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I'm picturing that line running in a movie in a
theater and you going.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's it? What is rhyme? On? And stand up? What
is wrong with you people? Is that a new thing
for you? This thing that just happened to the movie.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Haven't you seen the seventy times in your life?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I love this idea of a movie where a guy
walks in and he says, Hi, I'm Joe Jones. I'm
the charming, good liking fellow who will be slowly revealed
as being evil. Then you'll be glad when I get
my come upp and nice to meet you, mister Jones,
says the other character, Right right, just go ahead and
spell it out.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I'm want to stand up, jesseph ber How is this
suspenseful for you? Nothing's gonna happen to these people.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I'm the glamorous current girl and who will reveal to
be a controlling bitch.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm the girl next door type whose heart is true
and I will end up with the hero.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Good to meet you. These two people that are.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Falling for each other aren't gonna get eaten by a dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
How are you worried about this? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
See, that's what I want. I want a dinosaur movie
that's more realistic.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You just never know when the slashing fangs of antiquity
are gonna remove a major character's head, just like in
real life.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Scarlett Johanson's head gets bit off halfway through. Now clean off,
twist right, but the scientists have fallen for and she
kind of thinks he's cute. And no, no, she got
her head bit clear. No no, the tear Exo song
green ate her head off. What do you not care
about that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
The dinosaur doesn't care who's in love with whom?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Idiots? The next move you go to Jackie.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You just got to stand up in the middle of
the crowd and look back at him and just start
expressing your displeasure.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Lecture them motor to work so.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
We can are up the spaceship and get out of here.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sir, we've got somebody on the phone. I don't have
time for that right now, you're gonna want to take
this call.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
It better be good and the acting in that do
I need to have any talent to act in that scene.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Much?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I head want to explode, right, I've said my piece.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You really so I go, okay.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You find it comforting that the good people don't die
and the jerk dies and that's good?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And people clapped at the end. I want to say,
what is wrong with you? Why are you clapping? This
is the same.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Movie as the previous seven, with different cgi ah people.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'd like to introduce you to doctor Smith.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm the secondary character who will help the heroes, but
I'm not important enough that I can't be sacrificed, so
I'll be eating in about fifteen minutes of screen time,
Doctor Smith.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Dr Smith.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
People are clappic the end of the movie, and Jack
his blood pressure is triple digits on both sides.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
What is wrong with you? How do you clap for this? S?
I wish dinosaurs would eat you been now that would
be exciting. I mean, I didn't even get to my
other story of my son and his boy scout camp.
Maybe I'll get to that later or tomorrow or whenever.
Some more we'll get to later this hour, not next.
(10:29):
But Trump, as he usually does when he makes an announcement,
it takes questions, It goes on and on, and more
details came out about weapons systems were given to Ukraine,
so we got the latest on that a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And there was the thing you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
If you need the California government to do something for
you, you just.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Bribe the governor's wife.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Did I say bribe, I mean contribute scads of money
to her charity.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Awesome? That's next.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Next month, Jake Tapper will receive something called the truth
Seekers Award. In other news, Joy Behart just got a
Playboy centerfold.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Wow, inappropriate, I think, is what he means.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, if that's true, doesn't make sense? Is the key there?
I wouldn't expect that the truth Seekers Award? Oh my god, Yeah,
I know, all right, when that's sickening.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
When that happens, we'll talk about it, I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So I love this. The Free Beacon with some great coverage.
They mentioned that Gaviy Newsome, the governor of kell Unicornea,
doesn't typically get involved in disputes between rival Native American tribes,
but that changed last year when Newsom used his office
to try to block a small tribe from opening a
casino in northern California. In fact, in twenty August of
(11:53):
twenty four, Newsom's office sent a letter on his behalf
to the Biden Interior Department, urging it to reject a
seven hundred million dollar proposed casino project north of San
Francisco by the Koi Nation, a tribe with fewer.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Than one hundred members. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Biden administration approved the project anyway, So in May, Newsom
sued the Trump administration in a last ditch effort to
block the Coi Nation's casino.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
What the heck is going.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
On the whole Indian Tribe casino thing. I can't believe
that still is existing in its current form.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Should Newsom get his way, it would be a major
win for the Federated Indians of Gratton Rancheria, a major
California political donor which operates its own gambling compound close
to the proposed site, which broke ground on a billion
dollar expansion, a one billion dollar expansion in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
All under the all of this driven by originally the
idea that well white people lied to the Indians and
force them off their land. So we're going to help
them rebuild by letting them have casinos, but then everything
after that go sideway.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A somewhat different story, But back to Gavi Newsome, a
little known California government disclosure database may shed some light
on why exactly Newsom's so enthusiastic at quashing those evil
Quite Nation people. In April of twenty four, a few
months before Newsom sent his letter to the Biden Interior Department,
the Democratic governor requested Gratton Rancheria contribute half a million
(13:26):
dollars to his wife's charity, the California Partners Project, and
they did.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Wow, he requested, even, hey, that's a full.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
On shakedown there.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And in April of this year, one month before Newsom
filed his lawsuit against the Trump administration, he again asked
Gratton Rancheria to contribute another half million dollars to his
wife's charity. The tried cut those checks, specifically at Newsom's request,
According to California's Behested payments database, which discloses whether whenever
(13:57):
state elected officials request others to make donations on their behalf.
Now I'm kind of glad that database exists, because I'll
bet a lot of this stuff went on for a
long time now. The Free Beacon says that data does
not show an explicit quid pro quo between Newsome and
the big Indian crime.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Well, which is why you can get away with it,
because you can't prove that that it's It's just a
coincidence they donated to my wife's charity and not I
did him a solid because I don't like that other
Indian tribe.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ken Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and
Civic Trust watchdog group, said any reasonable objective person would
conclude this looks horrid. Of course, that happens, and it
is hardly the first time Gavey has taken action to
benefit donors just after he secured their contributions to charities
connected to him and his wife.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
According to a Free Beacon review of this.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Website, uh they get into more of the details on
that Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, does not take a
salary from the California Partners Project, but it works closely
with her government office and serves an integral role in
her efforts to force gender equity and private corporate boards.
(15:10):
And remember she is a big time movie producer of
educational films of woke themes in schools, including DEI and
gender bending, madness and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Now, I don't know if she's doing this, but oftentimes
the whole they don't take a salary. You don't take
a salary, but you drive a car that the particular
entity pays four et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
And you travel and you eat and drink, etc. Newsom
has performed other political favors. After behesting contributions from companies
within with business in a state September of twenty four,
he'd behest today twenty five thousand dollars contribution from CVS.
At the same time, the pharmacy giant lobby Newsom's office
against the bill that would have cracked down on pharmacy
(15:57):
benefit managed another coincidence.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
CVS cut its check to the California Protocol Foundation, a
charity that pays for Newsom's out of state.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And overseas travel.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Wow, that's not a bribe at all, paying for his travel,
that's just a contribution.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Then Knewsom veto the bill a few weeks later.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Of course, everybody involved with this would say to someone like,
you know, maybe you the listener us would.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Say, grow up, jeez, grow up, you children. How do
you think this works?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Newsom is behested nearly six million dollars to the California
Protocol Foundation from private corporation such as CVS and activist
groups with business interests in California since he became governor
in twenty nineteen, and he's put the funds to good use.
In January of twenty for instance, Protocol Foundation gifted nine
grand to Newsom so he could represent the state of
(16:50):
California at the Super Bowl in Miami.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Wow, there's so much goodness California was represented. How much
disgusting stuff goes on it's mining? Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Okay, So what did was Trump's big announcement about Ukraine Today?
We're starting to figure it out. We've got some of
his words for you.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Any review that Vladimir Puttins could not clarify his intention
to a peace deal?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And what happens now in the next phase is there
and we're going.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
To go for a period of time. Maybe you'll start
to go share and I think we felt. I felt
I don't know about you, Mark, but I felt that
we had a deal about four times. And here we
are still talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
So that's Donald Trump in the Oval office with the
guy who runs NATO, uh saying I thought we had
a deal four times.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
With fool me once, shame on me. You fool me twice,
shame on me, fool me three times, shame on who?
How about four times?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I guess fill me four times? And I finally come
out and say, I think Putin's a liar, and you
start doing things like severe tariffs. If no deal in
fifty days, why fifty days?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well? Trump was asked, why.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Are you giving fifty more days?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I think the well, I think it's a period of time.
I think they'll forget.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
I've just really been involved in this and not very long,
and it wasn't initial focus. This is again, this is
a Biden war. This is a Democrat who're not a
Republican or Trump war. This is a war that would
have never happened.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
It shouldn't have happened. A lot of people being killed.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
When the.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Final numbers come in, you're going to see a lot
more people are being killed.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
In this war.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Than than you think, than you've been writing about.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I don't know about that, because the numbers are horrific
if you've been paying attention and have been for three years,
And why you need fifty more days. Last week was
the worst week in terms of drones and missiles and
everything for Ukraine in the entire war, And why you'd
(19:07):
get fifty more days of doing that before you finally
hit him, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
My guess is because you know, he mentioned I haven't
been on this deal for very long. It's been six
months in like a week. My guess is he is
still clinging to the hope that he can get a
deal out of Putin. I mean, obviously why. I mean
because he's four times he thought he had a deal. Allegedly.
(19:40):
He finally wakes up the other day, says Putin. He's
surprised a lot of people. He's given us bull ass.
He talks pretty, but it's bullss. Therefore, if he doesn't
come around in fifty days, we're gonna hit him with
some real sanctions.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't get that.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I don't need either, but I'm happy that they are
sending weaponry to Ukraine, like Patriot missiles and Trumpe's asked
about that.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Will these be Patriot missiles specifically, or Patriot batteries that
you're planning, and when you when.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You're everything Patriots solid, it's a full compliment with the
batteries when you expect, well, we're going to have some
come very soon, within days.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Actually, I think that's pretty significant Patriots lots of them,
whole battery within.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Days, So that's pretty helpful.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Mm hmm. Maybe that gets Putin's attention.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I don't know one more clip, if I might request,
it's seventy eight.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I speak to them a lot about getting this thing done,
and I always hang up and say, well, that was
a nice phone call. And then missiles launched into Kiev
as some of the city.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I said, strange.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
And after that happens three or four times, you say
the talk doesn't mean anything. My conversations with them are
always very pleasant. I say, is that really lovely conversation?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And then the missiles go off.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
That night, I go home, I tell a first lady
and I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.
She said, oh really, uh another city was just hit.
So it's like, look he's uh. I don't want to
say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy. It's
been proven over the years.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
He's fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He fooled Bush, he fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
He fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
He did fool me, true, he did fool all those people.
I don't know how he fooled them either, but uh wow,
I'm making my squinty face over that one.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He didn't fool you except those four times you thought
you had a deal and you did.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Or you're explaining to us how Putin's a bad guy,
Like we don't know that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, we know, like everybody knows, it's an odd blind
spot for a very practical guy.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Yeah, we're going through the possibilities on this earlier, Like,
how do you explain that Trump is not a dumb
guy at all? And in certainly, I gotta believe in terms.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Of reading human beings, he's.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Got to be like at the very highest level of
that throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I would agree, Yeah, I think could it be.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know, he made the claim I could solve this
in twenty four hours now he's said, look, clearly that
was sarcasm, hyperbole, I just meant I could solve it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The reality might be you can't solve it at all.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's unsolvable, and that I think would be a serious
blow to his self.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Conception is ego.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Do you think that we in Europe can make this
ugly enough for Russia that they'll quit?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh, we'd have to go a long, long way, and
I think Europe's willing to.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They're willing to do whatever they have to do. Man, Oh,
where this is headed? More to come on that story.
If you weren't listening at the time.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The lines are frozen more or less the front lines
because there's so many drones in the air. If anybody
so much as you know, comes out of their fox
hole and walks fifty yards, a drone sees them and
kills them. So it's practically impossible to get an offensive going.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Enough of that, Well, we mentioned last week how Russia
had taken out one of Ukraine's top spies there on
the streets at Kiev. I don't know if you saw
those videos, but guy and T shirt and shorts runs
up to super spy there in Kiev who's just walking
down the street in front of his apartment complex. Shoots
him five times, sticks a gun in his pants, and
(23:48):
runs off. Well, there was a reaction to that from Ukraine,
not surprisingly.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Let me find that for you.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Pretty good story on how they found owned that dude
and someone else.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Where my notes on this. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I gave him a stern talking to, gave him a
stern talking to, and then that's how it ended.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I can't find minutes. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Anyway, they found the dude and an accomplice in their
apartment and said, while being questioned, they resisted and we
had to kill them. Oh okay, in the midst of
a war. I imagine you you don't worry too much about the.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
No no indeed, so they found them and killed them
pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I wanted to tell briefly this story about dropping my
son off at boy Scouts yesterday. I continue to be
amazingly impressed by the whole Boy Scouts. I guess it's
just supposed to be called Scouting America now because girls
are involved too. Not very many, but there are some
Scouting call it whatever you want, and maybe they changed
the name back someday. Hello, I don't know. I'm highly
(25:01):
impressed by the organization on every level except for their
paperworking websites, which is partially because they got the Jesus
suit out of them a couple of years ago, you know,
that whole scandal and then got lots of lawyers involved.
And now the amount of paperwork that is involved in
scouting is insane.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I mean, you.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Can't even imagine. It's like buying a house every camp.
It's just crazy hours and hours. Just last week I
spent on paperworking websites hours.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
It's something anyway, not their fault, that has nothing to
do with it. The organization is absolutely fantastic and one
of the things I didn't know about it that I've
really come to appreciate is how it's kid led. Parents
are there, you know, to oversee and if anything came up.
I mean, you can't just send a bunch of kids
out into the wilderness on their owns, on their own
for obvious reasons, but the parents, just the leaders just
(25:56):
stay back and kids take care of it. And you
go through the ranks and you climb the ladder of
authority by proving yourself and end up in positions of.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Being in charge.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And the way I've seen some of these fourteen year
old fifteen year old, sixteen year old kids taking charge
of these things is so incredibly impressive. I mean it
would have been impressive years ago, but in this modern
era where I know twenty five year olds who can't
do that, I mean, it's really something and just absolutely
love it. Like we got to the camp and there
(26:29):
are kids out there with the clipboards and everything like that,
and you know, hey, who you here with? Okay, well
you go down there and you park there and you
drop this off and everything like that. And then I
get down there and then there was some kid that
came to our group and he looked like he was
fourteen years old, and he said, who's the PSO. I
think that's the INITIALS, which is the patrol Scout Organizer
(26:50):
or something like that. See, whoever, who's PSO here?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I am? How many scouts you got? How many adults? Fourteen? Three? Okay?
You over there? You over there?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
And it's just it's amazing lot these kids behave this
way and what it reminded me of and we all
should know. And I'm a victim of this or a victim.
I'm a perpetrator of this as much as anybody, unfortunately is.
Kids can grow to the responsibility. They're given in a
way that we seem to have lost in this country.
(27:20):
And you know, you give them the opportunity and they
can grow into it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I don't need them working in a mercury factory
at age eight, like it's Dikenzie in London. But we've
gone so far in the other direction, like infantalizing them
until they're twenty five.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Oh, it's the it's the polar opposite of the adults
in charge of every aspect of a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Of youth sports. For instance, I love it.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
As opposed to you know, when you used to if
you're old, this happened back in the day. You get
some of your friends and go have a game and
your bases were squashed popcans or whatever that you just
put out. There are random distances and you made up
the rules as you went, and that sort of thing
just does not exist anymore. Yeah, and parents warn everything.
(28:08):
And just to see that all these kids in charge
like that, it was just it was something to watch.
And there are four hundred kids there and so many
cars and unloading stuff and loading them on boats and
taking them there and getting everything, and it was the
kids running everything is I was so impressed by it.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Wow, that's so cool. I love hearing that.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I know, I know not to turn it bitter, but
I love the idea of the kids proving themselves, earning respect,
climbing ladder, a true meritocracy as opposed to I don't know,
some other belief systems, or it's whoever makes the most
impassioned speech or whoever claims the greatest grievance. They are
(28:49):
given the floor, they are given the respect.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Not in my world.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, and I gotta Watching that yesterday reminded me I
gotta do better with my kids of you know, allowing
them to grow into responsibility and everything like that.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I saw that a lot as a kid working. I
know it had a big effect on me getting into
working with adults and being treated like an adult and
being expected to act like an adult from age fourteen on. Yeah,
and I worked with guys who were fifteen years old.
You couldn't have told them. There was no way to
tell them from a thirty year old in terms of
their ability to like just be in charge of things.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Likewise, well, that's a great deal of the media is controversy,
click bait. There's plenty controversial and there are plenty of
things to bring to your attention that are kind of
outragey or controversial, but there's no coverage of what you
just were describing, of how notable that is and important
(29:48):
that is. So for all of the sins or whatever.
Scouting absolutely worth your support. Boys and girls clubs, big
fan of them. Helping kids develop the tools to get
themselves good lives. Not put them on the freaking government dole.
Give them the skill sets they need. You know, those organizations, friends,
(30:08):
you love America, you love kind of traditional values. Look
into those organizations and support them.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, either financially or the parents. Seeing a lot of
parents a lot of hours like youth sports and other things,
a lot a lot of I mean just underappreciated but
absolutely one hundred percent necessary. Parents putting a lot of
time in. I did nine hours of driving yesterday, not
near as much time as a lot of the other people. Anyway,
we'll finish strong next. Why didn't I buy in video
(30:38):
stock company that makes the super cool chips for AI,
which is now a four trillion dollar company. It's blown
by Apple, Google, Tesla, some of the other biggest stocks
in the world. And if I'd have got in the
first time, I said, why didn't I buy in video stock?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I would have been very very happy.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I'm sorry an interrupt, but Michael, could you bring a
towel in here please. I just saw a video of
a demonstration of the state of the art robot soldier
and I wet.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Myself, so I would appreciate the help. Oh Lord, oh Lord.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Probably using the chips I was just talking about, you know, yeah,
probably so. Honestly, it's funny. I came across the video
through an article about an editorial that, interestingly enough, was
in one of the Chinese big newspapers that is approved
of by the Communist Party, and it was a bunch
(31:39):
of researchers expressing their concerns about the ethical and legal
research into robot soldiers, and again the fact that it
was published in Chinese Communists you know, publications I find
intriguing and something I'd like to learn more about. But
an op ed by these three researchers in the People's
(32:02):
Liberal Liberation Army Daily warned that faulty robots could lead
to quote, indiscriminate killings and accidental death, which would inevitably
result in legal charges and moral condemnation and They pointed
out that these kill bots if you will, violate various
of Isaac Asimov's three Laws of robotics, the first of
(32:22):
which is a robot may not injure a human being
or through an action, allow a human being to come
to harm.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, those what did you say?
Speaker 4 (32:30):
There are those moral recriminations will really do me a
lot of good when the robot armies are sweeping across
the plains.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, they're really worried about the things just won't stop
when they ought to stop, and will indiscriminately kill when
set loose, to rampage across wherever they're set loose. Yeah,
I share your concern, especially after watching that video.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
I'm strong. I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green, I'm strong.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Post that video or send it to me or something
I want to see.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, we'll put it up at Armstrong and geeddy dot
com under hot links.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
To wrap up the show, there is technical director Michael
Angelow to lead us off.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Michael, Yeah, teach your kids responsibility.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Let him grow the next time there's a thunderstorm and
there's a hole in the roof and is leaking.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Have him get a meadow.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Ladder out of the garage, get up on the roof
and patch that hole.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Responsibility, Let you gain confidence up there. That's right, Katie
Green are esteemed to us woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Speaking of responsibility, I have way too much of it today.
I have like three appointments and I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Go to any of it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Adulting so tiring. Jack. Final thought shopping for a cheap
crappy car.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Haven't done it many many years, But my my son's
about to turn driving age, and so it's time to
get back into the world of shopping for cheap crappy cars.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh man, I haven't done it in such a long time.
It's kind of its own funny, little niche thing. Yeah,
go for a good safe one thought. You know, airbags,
et cetera. Can you buy a car without air bags?
I don't know how old would you have to go?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Probably not? I don't know, model t probably. My final
thought is, and again we'll post this video. These guys
who are testing these robots shove it. They beat it
with heavy sticks. They do everything they can. You can't
knock it over and it keeps firing accurately.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
It's like the Winter Soldier, like the Bucky the super
Soldier from the Marvel Lobbies.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
A lot like that. Oh that's frightening.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
So many people, thanks, so a little time go to
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
We will see tomorrow. God bless America. I'm Strong and Getty.
That's made in heaven under on the crazy meat. We're
all better off and we're working together and everyone knows that. Okay,
so let's go with a bang.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You know, I'd rather swim in a pool filled with
the boiling hot, sulfurous urine of Satan and say this phrase.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That's quite a phrase right there that I notes. Bye bye,
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong and Jetty
and know He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm here a Jurassic World used to be Jurassic Park.
It was just informed that it's no, it's dressing World. Actually,
you seem to be moving dinosaurs all over the globe.
Seems like a pretty bad idea. You think that they've
learned from their past mistakes. What about in the nineties
when Theresaurs friends stropping through San Diego? It where what.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Will California learn? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
That's a good Tucker Carlson personation by a comedian.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Wow Wow, Well the laugh gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But to start the beginning, I mean, I really like
play that the beginning part again, I'm here in Jurassic World.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He used to be Jurrassic Park. It was just important
that it's no, it's dressing World, Ashley.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
So that sort of thing there that he does all
the time. Just you know, the powers that be have
done something wrong. We all know that's wrong. But I
won't explain tint at it. We'll all nod yes, yes.
Jeffrey Epstein the Israelis. Yes, Jurassic World, now, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
That's pretty good. I went to coming up.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
If you're a special interest or you're a powerful person
in California and you want something from the government, what
you do is you write a giant check to Gavin
Newsom's wife's charity and then Gavin will do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Stay tuned for the details. He laughed. I laughed.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
So I went to the Jurassic movie with my thirteen
year old and he has crossed into the age of
four teenager doom like his brother, which hadn't happened until
very recently, which is good, you know, ultimately, but you
don't want him to have the attitude of a little
kid the rest of their lives.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But he wanted to go to the Jurassic movies. Really
into that.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
He's really into dinosaurs, all that sort of stuff. He
had a kid he was hoping would go to the
movie with him, but that kid was on vacation. The
movie came out, he needed to see it the first week,
so he was willing to go with me. So we
went to the Jurassic movie Friday night together. We get there,
he's sitting there, there's a lot of kids in the theater.
He said, Dad, it's going to be really embarrassing if
(02:36):
anybody sees me sitting with my dad. Could you sit
somewhere else? And I said sure, that's fine because I
wasn't thrilled about watching the Jurassic movie anyway. I don't
I don't go to movies really at all, and I
certainly don't go to dinosaur movies.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So I said, yeah, see, I love the idea of
the dinosaur movie plays giant lizards running the rough shot
across the landscape eating people.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Love that idea.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So I got up, going to a different seat, walked
out of the theater and went next door and had
a burrito.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Which was absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
And I sat there and I had my burrito by myself,
a nice quiet reading my phone while I was eating
my burrito. And then I went back in and caught
the last part of the movie and he said, what
did you think of it? I thought, yeah, it was
dinosaurs or something, which I assume is a good That's
all for I just I cannot handle formulaic movies. I
(03:29):
never really liked them, but I've reached a point where
I just can't do it. Just I'm amazed that they
still make so much money that you all like them.
I mean, it's the same plot all of these movies
all the time. They have the scientist, geeky guy who
the girl eventually falls for, and then you got kind
of the schlubby dude, often played by Jack Black, but
(03:51):
not in this case. This is kind of corny and
has funny Joe. Just it's the same characters and every
one of these freaking movies, and they have the same
conversations that I just can't.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Do it right.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well, some people I read about this, and I was
super curious about this, because, just by way of illustration,
I convinced my wife we should rent on the streaming
the new Wes Anderson movie. Wes Anderson, if you know him,
you love him? Rushmore, Moonlight, Serenade?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Was that the name of a movie?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Just the Hotel Budapest is just brilliant artists. He makes
art movies and I love him dryly hilariously surreal movies.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The Royal Tembombs was him right, right.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, Yeah, he's got a great list of very quirky movies.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But you love him or you don't get them.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And my beloved bride, my favorite human being Unearthed just
doesn't get Wes Anderson. She's like, I'm really glad you're
enjoying this so much.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't get it. She likes that formulaic stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So I was extra interested in understanding that there are
there's a substantial chunk of humanity that finds it comforting
that in the chaos and stress of the world and
life and death and disease and hopes realized and hopes dashed,
it's comforting. It's like my favorite Beatles song.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
So it's the familiarity that people like, yeah, oh god,
that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, I guess that kind of makes sense.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It is so off putting to me, but for a
majority of people it's like this is I can relax.
I know exactly what these characters are. I know it's
gonna happen. I know nothing bad is going to happen
to any of the people I like in this movie.
That guy there, who's a jerk through the whole movie
is gonna get it coming.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And he does.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Trinosaurus thing bites him in half, his arm comes off,
rips is pearl, Argon's right out of his belly.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Spoiler alert. If you're a moron.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And didn't think the guy who was rude to the
girl was gonna end up getting eaten by a dinosaur
and all the people you like are gonna be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I just again, do you like that? You like that?
I guess like here's the scene.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It's funny you you were at understanding for like three
seconds then went right back to contempt.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Am I wrong, Katie?
Speaker 5 (06:11):
No, that's I'm actually loving how upset jacket.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Here's here's the scene that I just can't stand. I've
seen this like seventy times in my life. I think
it was in one of the superhero movies I saw recently,
and it does I hope I can portray this well enough.
You got somebody he's trying to solve the pressure situation. Yeah, like,
(06:35):
and he's on he's working on calculations, or he's on
the trying to do something, and somebody says, we.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Just got a call. I don't have time for.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That right now. Or you're gonna want to take this call.
This better be good? That scenett. Yeah, I'm in the
middle of solving this major problem that is a plot
point for this movie. You're gonna want to take this call.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
All right? But this better be good. And it's a.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Major plot point, sir, It's a new one that's really
gonna change the arc of the story better.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Taking it makes me.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Want to die seeing that for the seventieth time in
a movie.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I know, I know, I'm like you. Who's that four?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I'm picturing that line running in a movie in a
theater and you going.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's it? What is rhyme? On? And stand up? What
is wrong with you people? Is that a new thing
for you? This thing that just happened to the movie.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Haven't you seen the seventy times in your life?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I love this idea of a movie where a guy
walks in and he says, Hi, I'm Joe Jones. I'm
the charming, good liking fellow who will be slowly revealed
as being evil. Then you'll be glad when I get
my come upp and nice to meet you, mister Jones,
says the other character, Right right, just go ahead and
spell it out.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
I'm want to stand up, jesseph ber How is this
suspenseful for you? Nothing's gonna happen to these people.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I'm the glamorous current girl and who will reveal to
be a controlling bitch.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm the girl next door type whose heart is true
and I will end up with the hero.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Good to meet you. These two people that are.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Falling for each other aren't gonna get eaten by a dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
How are you worried about this? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
See, that's what I want. I want a dinosaur movie
that's more realistic.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
You just never know when the slashing fangs of antiquity
are gonna remove a major character's head, just like in
real life.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Scarlett Johanson's head gets bit off halfway through. Now clean off,
twist right, but the scientists have fallen for and she
kind of thinks he's cute. And no, no, she got
her head bit clear. No no, the tear Exo song
green ate her head off. What do you not care
about that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
The dinosaur doesn't care who's in love with whom?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Idiots? The next move you go to Jackie.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You just got to stand up in the middle of
the crowd and look back at him and just start
expressing your displeasure.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Lecture them motor to work so.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
We can are up the spaceship and get out of here.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sir, we've got somebody on the phone. I don't have
time for that right now, you're gonna want to take
this call.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
It better be good and the acting in that do
I need to have any talent to act in that scene.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
Much?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I head want to explode, right, I've said my piece.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You really so I go, okay.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
You find it comforting that the good people don't die
and the jerk dies and that's good?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And people clapped at the end. I want to say,
what is wrong with you? Why are you clapping? This
is the same.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Movie as the previous seven, with different cgi ah people.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I'd like to introduce you to doctor Smith.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm the secondary character who will help the heroes, but
I'm not important enough that I can't be sacrificed, so
I'll be eating in about fifteen minutes of screen time,
Doctor Smith.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Dr Smith.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
People are clappic the end of the movie, and Jack
his blood pressure is triple digits on both sides.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
What is wrong with you? How do you clap for this? S?
I wish dinosaurs would eat you been now that would
be exciting. I mean, I didn't even get to my
other story of my son and his boy scout camp.
Maybe I'll get to that later or tomorrow or whenever.
Some more we'll get to later this hour, not next.
(10:29):
But Trump, as he usually does when he makes an announcement,
it takes questions, It goes on and on, and more
details came out about weapons systems were given to Ukraine,
so we got the latest on that a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And there was the thing you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
If you need the California government to do something for
you, you just.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Bribe the governor's wife.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Did I say bribe, I mean contribute scads of money
to her charity.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Awesome? That's next.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Next month, Jake Tapper will receive something called the truth
Seekers Award. In other news, Joy Behart just got a
Playboy centerfold.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Wow, inappropriate, I think, is what he means.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Well, if that's true, doesn't make sense? Is the key there?
I wouldn't expect that the truth Seekers Award? Oh my god, Yeah,
I know, all right, when that's sickening.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
When that happens, we'll talk about it, I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So I love this. The Free Beacon with some great coverage.
They mentioned that Gaviy Newsome, the governor of kell Unicornea,
doesn't typically get involved in disputes between rival Native American tribes,
but that changed last year when Newsom used his office
to try to block a small tribe from opening a
casino in northern California. In fact, in twenty August of
(11:53):
twenty four, Newsom's office sent a letter on his behalf
to the Biden Interior Department, urging it to reject a
seven hundred million dollar proposed casino project north of San
Francisco by the Koi Nation, a tribe with fewer.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Than one hundred members. Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Biden administration approved the project anyway, So in May, Newsom
sued the Trump administration in a last ditch effort to
block the Coi Nation's casino.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
What the heck is going.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
On the whole Indian Tribe casino thing. I can't believe
that still is existing in its current form.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Should Newsom get his way, it would be a major
win for the Federated Indians of Gratton Rancheria, a major
California political donor which operates its own gambling compound close
to the proposed site, which broke ground on a billion
dollar expansion, a one billion dollar expansion in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
All under the all of this driven by originally the
idea that well white people lied to the Indians and
force them off their land. So we're going to help
them rebuild by letting them have casinos, but then everything
after that go sideway.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
A somewhat different story, But back to Gavi Newsome, a
little known California government disclosure database may shed some light
on why exactly Newsom's so enthusiastic at quashing those evil
Quite Nation people. In April of twenty four, a few
months before Newsom sent his letter to the Biden Interior Department,
the Democratic governor requested Gratton Rancheria contribute half a million
(13:26):
dollars to his wife's charity, the California Partners Project, and
they did.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Wow, he requested, even, hey, that's a full.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
On shakedown there.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And in April of this year, one month before Newsom
filed his lawsuit against the Trump administration, he again asked
Gratton Rancheria to contribute another half million dollars to his
wife's charity. The tried cut those checks, specifically at Newsom's request,
According to California's Behested payments database, which discloses whether whenever
(13:57):
state elected officials request others to make donations on their behalf.
Now I'm kind of glad that database exists, because I'll
bet a lot of this stuff went on for a
long time now. The Free Beacon says that data does
not show an explicit quid pro quo between Newsome and
the big Indian crime.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Well, which is why you can get away with it,
because you can't prove that that it's It's just a
coincidence they donated to my wife's charity and not I
did him a solid because I don't like that other
Indian tribe.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Ken Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and
Civic Trust watchdog group, said any reasonable objective person would
conclude this looks horrid. Of course, that happens, and it
is hardly the first time Gavey has taken action to
benefit donors just after he secured their contributions to charities
connected to him and his wife.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
According to a Free Beacon review of this.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Website, uh they get into more of the details on
that Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, does not take a
salary from the California Partners Project, but it works closely
with her government office and serves an integral role in
her efforts to force gender equity and private corporate boards.
(15:10):
And remember she is a big time movie producer of
educational films of woke themes in schools, including DEI and
gender bending, madness and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Now, I don't know if she's doing this, but oftentimes
the whole they don't take a salary. You don't take
a salary, but you drive a car that the particular
entity pays four et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
And you travel and you eat and drink, etc. Newsom
has performed other political favors. After behesting contributions from companies
within with business in a state September of twenty four,
he'd behest today twenty five thousand dollars contribution from CVS.
At the same time, the pharmacy giant lobby Newsom's office
against the bill that would have cracked down on pharmacy
(15:57):
benefit managed another coincidence.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
CVS cut its check to the California Protocol Foundation, a
charity that pays for Newsom's out of state.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And overseas travel.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Wow, that's not a bribe at all, paying for his travel,
that's just a contribution.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Then Knewsom veto the bill a few weeks later.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Of course, everybody involved with this would say to someone like,
you know, maybe you the listener us would.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Say, grow up, jeez, grow up, you children. How do
you think this works?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Newsom is behested nearly six million dollars to the California
Protocol Foundation from private corporation such as CVS and activist
groups with business interests in California since he became governor
in twenty nineteen, and he's put the funds to good use.
In January of twenty for instance, Protocol Foundation gifted nine
grand to Newsom so he could represent the state of
(16:50):
California at the Super Bowl in Miami.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Wow, there's so much goodness California was represented. How much
disgusting stuff goes on it's mining? Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Okay, So what did was Trump's big announcement about Ukraine Today?
We're starting to figure it out. We've got some of
his words for you.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Any review that Vladimir Puttins could not clarify his intention
to a peace deal?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And what happens now in the next phase is there
and we're going.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
To go for a period of time. Maybe you'll start
to go share and I think we felt. I felt
I don't know about you, Mark, but I felt that
we had a deal about four times. And here we
are still talking about it.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
So that's Donald Trump in the Oval office with the
guy who runs NATO, uh saying I thought we had
a deal four times.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
With fool me once, shame on me. You fool me twice,
shame on me, fool me three times, shame on who?
How about four times?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
I guess fill me four times? And I finally come
out and say, I think Putin's a liar, and you
start doing things like severe tariffs. If no deal in
fifty days, why fifty days?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well? Trump was asked, why.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Are you giving fifty more days?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I think the well, I think it's a period of time.
I think they'll forget.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
I've just really been involved in this and not very long,
and it wasn't initial focus. This is again, this is
a Biden war. This is a Democrat who're not a
Republican or Trump war. This is a war that would
have never happened.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
It shouldn't have happened. A lot of people being killed.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
When the.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Final numbers come in, you're going to see a lot
more people are being killed.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
In this war.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Than than you think, than you've been writing about.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
I don't know about that, because the numbers are horrific
if you've been paying attention and have been for three years,
And why you need fifty more days. Last week was
the worst week in terms of drones and missiles and
everything for Ukraine in the entire war, And why you'd
(19:07):
get fifty more days of doing that before you finally
hit him, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
My guess is because you know, he mentioned I haven't
been on this deal for very long. It's been six
months in like a week. My guess is he is
still clinging to the hope that he can get a
deal out of Putin. I mean, obviously why. I mean
because he's four times he thought he had a deal. Allegedly.
(19:40):
He finally wakes up the other day, says Putin. He's
surprised a lot of people. He's given us bull ass.
He talks pretty, but it's bullss. Therefore, if he doesn't
come around in fifty days, we're gonna hit him with
some real sanctions.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't get that.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I don't need either, but I'm happy that they are
sending weaponry to Ukraine, like Patriot missiles and Trumpe's asked
about that.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Will these be Patriot missiles specifically, or Patriot batteries that
you're planning, and when you when.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
You're everything Patriots solid, it's a full compliment with the
batteries when you expect, well, we're going to have some
come very soon, within days.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Actually, I think that's pretty significant Patriots lots of them,
whole battery within.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Days, So that's pretty helpful.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Mm hmm. Maybe that gets Putin's attention.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I don't know one more clip, if I might request,
it's seventy eight.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I speak to them a lot about getting this thing done,
and I always hang up and say, well, that was
a nice phone call. And then missiles launched into Kiev
as some of the city.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I said, strange.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
And after that happens three or four times, you say
the talk doesn't mean anything. My conversations with them are
always very pleasant. I say, is that really lovely conversation?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And then the missiles go off.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
That night, I go home, I tell a first lady
and I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.
She said, oh really, uh another city was just hit.
So it's like, look he's uh. I don't want to
say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy. It's
been proven over the years.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
He's fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He fooled Bush, he fooled a lot of people.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
He fooled Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
He did fool me, true, he did fool all those people.
I don't know how he fooled them either, but uh wow,
I'm making my squinty face over that one.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He didn't fool you except those four times you thought
you had a deal and you did.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Or you're explaining to us how Putin's a bad guy,
Like we don't know that.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, we know, like everybody knows, it's an odd blind
spot for a very practical guy.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Yeah, we're going through the possibilities on this earlier, Like,
how do you explain that Trump is not a dumb
guy at all? And in certainly, I gotta believe in terms.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Of reading human beings, he's.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Got to be like at the very highest level of
that throughout his life.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I would agree, Yeah, I think could it be.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know, he made the claim I could solve this
in twenty four hours now he's said, look, clearly that
was sarcasm, hyperbole, I just meant I could solve it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The reality might be you can't solve it at all.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's unsolvable, and that I think would be a serious
blow to his self.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Conception is ego.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Do you think that we in Europe can make this
ugly enough for Russia that they'll quit?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh, we'd have to go a long, long way, and
I think Europe's willing to.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They're willing to do whatever they have to do. Man, Oh,
where this is headed? More to come on that story.
If you weren't listening at the time.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The lines are frozen more or less the front lines
because there's so many drones in the air. If anybody
so much as you know, comes out of their fox
hole and walks fifty yards, a drone sees them and
kills them. So it's practically impossible to get an offensive going.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Enough of that, Well, we mentioned last week how Russia
had taken out one of Ukraine's top spies there on
the streets at Kiev. I don't know if you saw
those videos, but guy and T shirt and shorts runs
up to super spy there in Kiev who's just walking
down the street in front of his apartment complex. Shoots
him five times, sticks a gun in his pants, and
(23:48):
runs off. Well, there was a reaction to that from Ukraine,
not surprisingly.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Let me find that for you.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Pretty good story on how they found owned that dude
and someone else.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Where my notes on this. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I gave him a stern talking to, gave him a
stern talking to, and then that's how it ended.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I can't find minutes. Sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Anyway, they found the dude and an accomplice in their
apartment and said, while being questioned, they resisted and we
had to kill them. Oh okay, in the midst of
a war. I imagine you you don't worry too much about the.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
No no indeed, so they found them and killed them
pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I wanted to tell briefly this story about dropping my
son off at boy Scouts yesterday. I continue to be
amazingly impressed by the whole Boy Scouts. I guess it's
just supposed to be called Scouting America now because girls
are involved too. Not very many, but there are some
Scouting call it whatever you want, and maybe they changed
the name back someday. Hello, I don't know. I'm highly
(25:01):
impressed by the organization on every level except for their
paperworking websites, which is partially because they got the Jesus
suit out of them a couple of years ago, you know,
that whole scandal and then got lots of lawyers involved.
And now the amount of paperwork that is involved in
scouting is insane.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I mean, you.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Can't even imagine. It's like buying a house every camp.
It's just crazy hours and hours. Just last week I
spent on paperworking websites hours.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
It's something anyway, not their fault, that has nothing to
do with it. The organization is absolutely fantastic and one
of the things I didn't know about it that I've
really come to appreciate is how it's kid led. Parents
are there, you know, to oversee and if anything came up.
I mean, you can't just send a bunch of kids
out into the wilderness on their owns, on their own
for obvious reasons, but the parents, just the leaders just
(25:56):
stay back and kids take care of it. And you
go through the ranks and you climb the ladder of
authority by proving yourself and end up in positions of.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Being in charge.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And the way I've seen some of these fourteen year
old fifteen year old, sixteen year old kids taking charge
of these things is so incredibly impressive. I mean it
would have been impressive years ago, but in this modern
era where I know twenty five year olds who can't
do that, I mean, it's really something and just absolutely
love it. Like we got to the camp and there
(26:29):
are kids out there with the clipboards and everything like that,
and you know, hey, who you here with? Okay, well
you go down there and you park there and you
drop this off and everything like that. And then I
get down there and then there was some kid that
came to our group and he looked like he was
fourteen years old, and he said, who's the PSO. I
think that's the INITIALS, which is the patrol Scout Organizer
(26:50):
or something like that. See, whoever, who's PSO here?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I am? How many scouts you got? How many adults? Fourteen? Three? Okay?
You over there? You over there?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
And it's just it's amazing lot these kids behave this
way and what it reminded me of and we all
should know. And I'm a victim of this or a victim.
I'm a perpetrator of this as much as anybody, unfortunately is.
Kids can grow to the responsibility. They're given in a
way that we seem to have lost in this country.
(27:20):
And you know, you give them the opportunity and they
can grow into it.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I don't need them working in a mercury factory
at age eight, like it's Dikenzie in London. But we've
gone so far in the other direction, like infantalizing them
until they're twenty five.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Oh, it's the it's the polar opposite of the adults
in charge of every aspect of a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Of youth sports. For instance, I love it.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
As opposed to you know, when you used to if
you're old, this happened back in the day. You get
some of your friends and go have a game and
your bases were squashed popcans or whatever that you just
put out. There are random distances and you made up
the rules as you went, and that sort of thing
just does not exist anymore. Yeah, and parents warn everything.
(28:08):
And just to see that all these kids in charge
like that, it was just it was something to watch.
And there are four hundred kids there and so many
cars and unloading stuff and loading them on boats and
taking them there and getting everything, and it was the
kids running everything is I was so impressed by it.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Wow, that's so cool. I love hearing that.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
I know, I know not to turn it bitter, but
I love the idea of the kids proving themselves, earning respect,
climbing ladder, a true meritocracy as opposed to I don't know,
some other belief systems, or it's whoever makes the most
impassioned speech or whoever claims the greatest grievance. They are
(28:49):
given the floor, they are given the respect.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Not in my world.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah, and I gotta Watching that yesterday reminded me I
gotta do better with my kids of you know, allowing
them to grow into responsibility and everything like that.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I saw that a lot as a kid working. I
know it had a big effect on me getting into
working with adults and being treated like an adult and
being expected to act like an adult from age fourteen on. Yeah,
and I worked with guys who were fifteen years old.
You couldn't have told them. There was no way to
tell them from a thirty year old in terms of
their ability to like just be in charge of things.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Likewise, well, that's a great deal of the media is controversy,
click bait. There's plenty controversial and there are plenty of
things to bring to your attention that are kind of
outragey or controversial, but there's no coverage of what you
just were describing, of how notable that is and important
(29:48):
that is. So for all of the sins or whatever.
Scouting absolutely worth your support. Boys and girls clubs, big
fan of them. Helping kids develop the tools to get
themselves good lives. Not put them on the freaking government dole.
Give them the skill sets they need. You know, those organizations, friends,
(30:08):
you love America, you love kind of traditional values. Look
into those organizations and support them.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, either financially or the parents. Seeing a lot of
parents a lot of hours like youth sports and other things,
a lot a lot of I mean just underappreciated but
absolutely one hundred percent necessary. Parents putting a lot of
time in. I did nine hours of driving yesterday, not
near as much time as a lot of the other people. Anyway,
we'll finish strong next. Why didn't I buy in video
(30:38):
stock company that makes the super cool chips for AI,
which is now a four trillion dollar company. It's blown
by Apple, Google, Tesla, some of the other biggest stocks
in the world. And if I'd have got in the
first time, I said, why didn't I buy in video stock?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I would have been very very happy.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I'm sorry an interrupt, but Michael, could you bring a
towel in here please. I just saw a video of
a demonstration of the state of the art robot soldier
and I wet.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Myself, so I would appreciate the help. Oh Lord, oh Lord.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Probably using the chips I was just talking about, you know, yeah,
probably so. Honestly, it's funny. I came across the video
through an article about an editorial that, interestingly enough, was
in one of the Chinese big newspapers that is approved
of by the Communist Party, and it was a bunch
(31:39):
of researchers expressing their concerns about the ethical and legal
research into robot soldiers, and again the fact that it
was published in Chinese Communists you know, publications I find
intriguing and something I'd like to learn more about. But
an op ed by these three researchers in the People's
(32:02):
Liberal Liberation Army Daily warned that faulty robots could lead
to quote, indiscriminate killings and accidental death, which would inevitably
result in legal charges and moral condemnation and They pointed
out that these kill bots if you will, violate various
of Isaac Asimov's three Laws of robotics, the first of
(32:22):
which is a robot may not injure a human being
or through an action, allow a human being to come
to harm.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, those what did you say?
Speaker 4 (32:30):
There are those moral recriminations will really do me a
lot of good when the robot armies are sweeping across
the plains.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, they're really worried about the things just won't stop
when they ought to stop, and will indiscriminately kill when
set loose, to rampage across wherever they're set loose. Yeah,
I share your concern, especially after watching that video.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
I'm strong. I'm strong. You're ready, Katie Green, I'm strong.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Post that video or send it to me or something
I want to see.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, we'll put it up at Armstrong and geeddy dot
com under hot links.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
To wrap up the show, there is technical director Michael
Angelow to lead us off.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Michael, Yeah, teach your kids responsibility.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Let him grow the next time there's a thunderstorm and
there's a hole in the roof and is leaking.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Have him get a meadow.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Ladder out of the garage, get up on the roof
and patch that hole.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Responsibility, Let you gain confidence up there. That's right, Katie
Green are esteemed to us woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Speaking of responsibility, I have way too much of it today.
I have like three appointments and I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Go to any of it.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Adulting so tiring. Jack. Final thought shopping for a cheap
crappy car.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Haven't done it many many years, But my my son's
about to turn driving age, and so it's time to
get back into the world of shopping for cheap crappy cars.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh man, I haven't done it in such a long time.
It's kind of its own funny, little niche thing. Yeah,
go for a good safe one thought. You know, airbags,
et cetera. Can you buy a car without air bags?
I don't know how old would you have to go?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Probably not? I don't know, model t probably. My final
thought is, and again we'll post this video. These guys
who are testing these robots shove it. They beat it
with heavy sticks. They do everything they can. You can't
knock it over and it keeps firing accurately.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
It's like the Winter Soldier, like the Bucky the super
Soldier from the Marvel Lobbies.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
A lot like that. Oh that's frightening.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
So many people, thanks, so a little time go to
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
We will see tomorrow. God bless America. I'm Strong and Getty.
That's made in heaven under on the crazy meat. We're
all better off and we're working together and everyone knows that. Okay,
so let's go with a bang.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
You know, I'd rather swim in a pool filled with
the boiling hot, sulfurous urine of Satan and say this phrase.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That's quite a phrase right there that I notes. Bye bye,
Armstrong and Getty
