Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And Jackie and he.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Arms live from the studio see see senor.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now we are in a dimly lit room, deep within
the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound, where
everything emanates that today we are under the tutelage of
our general manager, Hunter Biden, a new Biden for a
new century. I realize it's twenty twenty. We're still workshopping
to slogan Hunter Biden. Crack the coat of the White House.
(00:59):
That was the great It's no pipe dream, Hunter Biden.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hunter Biden, a lang, a gun and nothing else. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wow, put that pistol away, Hunter Biden in twenty twenty eight.
So does the word purient have to be sexual or
can it be just anything that you find? Like I'm
just wondering, is the enjoyment of the fact that Hunter
Biden did a three hour podcast where he goes off
(01:34):
like a crackhead is enjoying that just purient? Sort of
look at a scumbag who doesn't have their act together,
losing their mind? I mean, is there any I mean
I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not pretending that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Two too too fascinating questions.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
In one, I'm not pretending that I don't have purient interests.
But is that does that word apply here? It's mostly
with Kourian. Does seem to be uh a sexual?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Okay? So then what would be the right word?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
What would be what would be the right word for
enjoying something like Hunter Biden going off in a podcast
for three hours like a crackhead when there's like no
real value to it, but when it's fun. If you idea,
if you're not a fan of the Biden family, what
would you call that?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What? What is that word? It's it's on the tip
of my tongue. I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's whatever the word is for it. If it's not Purian,
it's it's close to Furian, it's Hurrians adjacent, as we
say these days. Because I was listening to it, I
think I kept thinking, I'm really enjoying this, but there's
like no real value to it. It depends according to
(02:50):
the Unforgivable book by Jake Tapper and the other guy
who's less of a weasel, Hunter was weighing in heavily
on important top He was part of the the Pulit
Bureau of the White House when his mummified father was
no longer capable of leading. So one could argue that
(03:10):
as historians and then others try to get to the
bottom of what was going on in that White House,
a more full understanding of Hunter is absolutely justified. Yeah,
and I'm not completely convinced by my case, But that
wasn't That wasn't as silly as I thought it would
sound when I was thinking of it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, that makes sense if you don't know what we're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So Hunter Biden, the crack addicted, drunk and just a
dick son of the former President Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Don't need to go to the dictionary for that one.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, you know what he's like. He's like most
people who grew up rich. Not most, that's unfair to say,
but he's like a lot of people who grew up
rich and powerful.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I've known several of my life. So you were in
a privilege.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Your dad or your dad or grandpa accomplished something, became
rich and powerful, and now you've got the swagger of
someone who accomplished anything. Though all you accomplished was being
born into that family.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, he got a law degree from somewhere, and I
have a feeling his way was paved with a nice,
big contribution. Sure has become clear in recent days. Sure, yeah,
and just that sort of person. And Hunter Biden is
like man, he is a special case of that. I
guess you'll hear in some of these clips he is.
I think he's actually a pretty bright guy. He's certainly articulate,
(04:35):
but he is a great, great example of somebody who
has high intelligence and absolutely no judgment. Well, I can
tell you, as a guy who's been around the world
of alcoholics and drug addicts a lot over the last
twenty years or so, he has got just the classic
everything is everybody else's fault attitude that keeps you a
(04:57):
drug addict your whole life. I mean just it just
blames everyone else for everything. He is completely uninable to
see his own role in things. Yeah, it would sound interesting. God,
he is such a jerk. Anyway, We're gonna play some
clips of him later. Uh, the one about it. I
found this interesting just because, like I said, I know
(05:19):
a lot about that world. His excuse for starting backup
on crack is just classic, I'm a victim.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You're a victim.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You're like one of the most elite upbringings on planet Earth.
How are you a victim of anything other than your
own decisions? Any who, We'll get to that a little
bit later. I was just reading Mark Halpern's newsletter yesterday
and I only read the first sentence. I never got
to the rest, But it was like, what was Hunter
Biden thinking going on this podcast?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And he's just a guy full of.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Anger for the fact that he's no longer, you know,
selling paintings at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars apiece
and walking around the White House making big calls.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He he hates that other people's fault.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He has significant and growing financial problems and the political world,
with its wide open checkbooks, which used to be so
generous for reasons that he probably never fully reckoned that
he didn't but he didn't make, but he thought he
should be, you know, making a million dollars a year
or whatever. He was advising various corporations on things he
(06:25):
had no expertise.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In, right, but those checkbooks have snapped closed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
The headline out of it, which we'll play, well, I
won't give that away one of the headlines out of it,
But we will get to that coming up very very
soon this hour probably, and then discuss as we go there.
Also want to share with you a story that had
both my daughter and I cracking up last night as
we went to dinner together.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Was absolutely delightful.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wait the law in turn, which my daughter happens to
be at this moment, who was finally let go because
she kept biting her coworkers?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
At what age the legal masticator.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Committed that offense between five and twelve times depending on
who you ask.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
She is almost certainly in her twenties.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, biting people at work, So that happens, That happens
with kindergarteners. Some were preschoolers, the Biden's dogs. My memory,
my memory is it didn't. I don't remember it happening
after kindergarten really kind of got the whole biting people
thing under control even by first grade generally, right.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yes, yes, so a bit of a deficiency.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I also, in discussing the story with her several new
hipster terms. So I can't wait to hear that that
is a you. Wow, that's a special kind of there's
something wrong with you. If you can't stop biting people.
Oh yeah, and then this is a human, right, not
a dog, not a dog that went to law school. No,
it's human human female as a matter of fact. And yeah,
and you know, one of our questions was, you know,
(08:05):
you bite one person, that's a that's pretty aberrant behavior.
You like administer that second, third, even fourth chomp? You
think you know your leashes run out? Probably poor metaphor,
but apparently it was allowed to continue.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's a fascinating tale. I really feel like once is
too much. I get a second time on biting.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You know what, I didn't mention this is one of
the biggest, most important, famous law firms in the country.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Really, yes, wow, okay, the tooth, the whole tooth and
nothing but the tooth. You I wrong. You get it, Michael,
I don't think you got it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I get it, Okay, a human, not a dog, but
a bitch nonetheless, Oh wow, I think I can call
someone a bitch if they would bite me multiple times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Surely I have the free reign. Well, I don't appreciate
the harsh language. You know what.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I watched too much of the Hunter Biden podcast, and
he curses so much that I've kind of felt like,
that's just the way people talk. So I got to
I gotta get readjusted to the normal world, the non
crack smoking in a cheap hotel room world where we
don't get is that way.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's so funny. I just had a conversation with my wife.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We have a remodel going on in our house, and
some electricians were in nice fellas. I don't mean to,
you know, bad mouth them at all, but they're like,
they're just on the other side of the plastic sheeting
and they're dropping some S bombs, and I'm like, hey,
you know, you're in your customer's house, Alan, that's not
super cool. I was trying to decide whether to say something.
I mentioned it to Judy and she said, oh, well,
(09:43):
when I was talking to him yesterday, I dropped an
F bomb. So well, we're you little permission structure there.
Are you offended? Are you afraid others in your house
might be offended?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You know what? I am slightly offended by the impropriet
of it, not like not like offended offense. You were
having tea in your You're already upset because your white
gloves had a smudge any right, yes, yes, and there
was peanut butter on them because our laundry room is
now our kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, I just thought, no, no, no, you don't do
that in somebody's home. That's not that's not right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And then turns out my foul mouth bride at the
root of it all Hunter.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Biden esque dietribe against the two of the weaker. Right, Okay,
let's start show officially.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this It is Tuesday,
July twenty second, the year twenty twenty five, where Armstrong
and getting we approved of this program. Okay, let's begin
then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show
starts at mark.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I know exactly what happened in that debate.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He flew around the world, basically the mileage that he
could have flown around the world three times. Yeah, he's
eighty one years old, he's tired. Give him ambient to
be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage
and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So that's breaking news of some sort.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
If the president was on ambient at the time because
he had to sleep to fly around the world. Worth
pointing out that part of the reason he did so
much flying is he had to fly back to the
United States for a big fundraiser at George Clooney's request,
to then fly back to the g whatever meeting it was,
so that was a choice to hang out with the
(11:26):
rich and powerful to make more money. He didn't have
to do that. Also worth pointing out he had eight
days nine days. News Nation said it was nine days
he had to recover. Wait a minute, I was about to,
you know, make some sympathetic it was sympathetic noises there,
but wait a minute, nine days to recover recording the
News Nation. I haven't looked into that. And secondly, what's
(11:46):
it like flying around the world on Air Force one
where you have a full you lay on it bed.
Is it really that difficult?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
With a nice woosh of the engines in the background,
that sounds really relaxing. I have a feeling it's not
exactly like the way we all fly when we fly.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No. Wow, some four hundred pounds idiot with his elbow
in our ribs. Yeah, it's he didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Stop in Chicago and had an eight hour layover, and
you're drinking some cold coffee with some kids screaming waiting
for your next flight, Come on now. Anyway, more on
that coming up later. We got some of the headlines
of the day. It's gonna be a good one. Stay
here text line four one five two nine KFTC. I
(12:32):
just got contacted by a secret source inside the world
of the Secret Service about the whole Trump assassination thing
with some new information that we will share a little
bit later. That's pretty interesting, I think since we just
came off the one year anniversary.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Also need to look into this. Trump was making some
noise last night.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
First time I think I've heard of this at the
presidential level, about the whole no bail thing that caught
on across country in various places, and you know how
many people are out on the streets committing more crimes.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Then I heard a.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Tease on News Nation, Is this actually the reason there's
more crime? We'll check the statistics and they use there.
We have statistics that would refute that tone of voice,
but I never got around to listening to it, So
I have to dig that up because I can't imagine
what that would be.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, you have.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To listen to the whole thing and assess it to
understand whether they're using the statistics fairly or right.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Obviously, abuse of that sort of thing is ramped.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Well, yeah, and we hear it all the time, including
the dude in his scumbag friend who shot that off
duty immigration dude in New York in the face. They
had been arrested multiple times for multiple crimes and let
go immediately with the no cash bail situation, right right,
I think one of the extremely faulty foundational assumption of
(14:00):
what somebody on the left would say about, you know,
no cash bail because it unfairly targets the poor and
they don't have cash so that they can't get out.
It's a financial discrimination, blah blah blah. There for in
our brave new Marxist world, we can't have this. The
problem is that underlying it, nobody ever says this is
an assumption that we all commit crimes at roughly the
(14:21):
same rate and that only the poor are victimized by
the whole cash bail thing, Whereas any cop, any judge,
any defense lawyers being honest will tell you, no, it's
a tiny percentage of the population that commits like all
of the crimes. And so if you have somebody who's
committed multiple crimes. I don't care if you're Bill Gates
(14:44):
or don't have a crust of bread to your name.
You gotta be held. You're a scumbag, you're a lawbreaker.
It's got nothing to do with class or financial status anyway,
speaking of assassinations, rather, I knew this got your attention, Jack.
The National Archives yesterday published more than six thousand documents
(15:07):
related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Junior in
nineteen sixty eight, hundreds of thousands of pages two hundred
and forty thousand pages in total made available to the public.
I gotta believe historians have written Pulitzer Prize winning books
were digging through that like a treasure trove of things
they've wondered forever. Apparently somebody reads more quickly than I
(15:28):
do and has read and digested all quarter million pages.
The trove does not appear to include any major new
details on King's murder. The material includes investigators, written notes,
and intelligence gathered during the manhunt for James Earl Ray
King's killer, all of which, while maybe not tripping the
trigger of conspiracy theorists and any giant headlines, is just
(15:50):
a fascinating glimpse of the time. Well, yeah, now what
I think is going to be what I guarantee is
in there is there is going to be a lot
about the way, uh, the FBI spied on Martin Luther
King Jr. In a way that probably isn't cool. We
already know lots about that. We're going we're gonna know
even more about it with these documents being released. That's
(16:11):
where the money is to me, not some sort of
crazy conspiracy like we were talking about yesterday. The same
FBI that's now lionized by the left that spied regularly
in all kinds of Americans without constitutional right to do
so in this case and many.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Others, right right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
In another political story of note, Japan's ruling party lost
a bunch of seats and is now going to have
to form some sort of coalition. And I read some
analysis of it. I was trying to decide whether it
was worth bringing it to you. I think that it's
too much and it's Japan. But here's the key. The
reason they lost is there's a new far right party
(16:57):
that was organized during COVID on YouTube, very populist, very trumpy,
some similar policy stances too, and they won fourteen seats
in the Upper House. This brand new YouTube launched party
that's pretty interesting in one of the world's major economies
is a big economy. We'll have to talk more about
(17:19):
that later. That's I wonder if that's a glimpse of
the future. So we'll get to some of the Hunter
Biden audio. He did a three hour podcast Unhinged gold Boy,
and some of it's pretty interesting, So stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Why do I have to listen to you? What right
do you have to step on a man who's given
fifty two years of his life to the service of
this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going
to take out basically a full page add in New
York Times to undermine the president.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Wow, you know it sound like a lunas senile Hunter
and unfit for the office.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You don't sound like a lunatic at all. Hunter.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Everybody's listening to this and thinking, Wow, you are the
smartest person Joe Biden knows. I mean, you are so
clearly intelligent, wise, steady, all kinds of good things.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
His lack of self awareness is amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Three hour podcast Hunter Biden did from what I've read,
though mostly Democrats are responding with good He finally said
some of the things out loud.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
People should have said that. They're not bothered by it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
A lot of mainstream Democrats really hate George Clooney for
taking out that New York full page New York Times
ad telling them the place they're delusional. I know, So
do you think he would have won if he stayed in?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You surely you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
There are people claiming that out loud, Jack, and they
know people are listening, so they must believe it. I
was gonna dive in later The New York Times with
their twenty Democrats twenty twenty four autopsy is described as
avoiding the likeliest cause of death. They're not going to
look at Joe Biden's decision to run or key decisions
(19:01):
by Kamala Harris's team. According to six people briefed on
the report, the level of delusion among Democrats right now
is unlike anything I've ever seen. So we played a
little snippet of the whole excuse for why the debate
was such a disaster for his dad. We'll play the
long version of that later, but I want to get
(19:23):
this on this is an interesting glimpse into the way
a lot of people on the left look at the
whole immigration slash illegal immigration topic.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
This is Hunter Biden, like all these Democrats say, you
have to talk about and realize that people are really
upset about illegal immigration. You, how do you think your
hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have
food on your table? Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your garden? Who do you
think is here by the sheer just grit and will
(19:58):
that they've figured out a way to get you because
they thought that they could give theirselves in their family
a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us
that these people are in the criminals.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
If you told me that voice was a twenty three
year old Columbia grad student, I'd be like, oh my god,
how did you get yours? It's going to take to
straighten that guy out. Well, he got through college because
that's what he was taught, right, But how do you
how are you that old and have such a stupid
view of the whole thing. So Hunter Biden, again, the
smartest person Joe Biden's ever known. According to Joe Biden,
(20:35):
thinks you should just randomly let people into the country
so they can clean your hotel rooms. There's all kinds
of problems with that. You gotta have borders, you gotta
have a system, obviously. And then do you realize, Hunter,
that the next batch of illegals that come in six
months from now undermine the wages of the last, the
(20:56):
most the current batch that's here, over and over again.
I mean, it's it's a spiral of punishing those people
unless you just like, really really low wages for the
brown people that you import to do jobs you don't
think kids like your kids should have to do.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Progressive America is in favor of importing a brown underclass
and making them do manual You're the only person I've
really enlightened way to look.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
You're the only person I've ever heard say that, and
it is so clearly true.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, I can hardly.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Sum it up the energy to counter some of his
moronic statements. But dumb, dumb, the people you described, the
hard working, good, decent, honest people. There's a hell of
a lot of Americans who are like, hey, can we
figure out a way that if we need workers and
they want to come in, we can work on We're.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Perfectly fine with that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But the idea of throwing the border open so that
every trendy Aragua member with a gat and a little
ambition comes into the country along with your you know, vaunted,
mythic humble house cleaner, that's an idiotic system. It's so idiotic.
I'm sorry I wasted your time in refuting it. But
(22:08):
I mean, if he was basically the chief of staff
and advisor for his dad, that kind of explains their
border policy a little bit. If that's where he comes
from on the whole thing. By the way, the next
thing he said, and that might be just a family
belief true about immigration that Looney Tunes and just kindergarten oversimplified.
(22:30):
Oh yeah, and it also fits in with the whole
The neighborhood you live in hasn't changed in any way
because of the legal immigration like it has so many
places across the country.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Because you live in.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
A gazillion dollar gated community, so your school's hospitals, everything
else has not seen the repercussions of that policy. Right
You just when you stay in the presidential sweet it's
cleaned and you got a nice house cleaner and your
gardeners do a really nice job there at your mansions.
By the way, like the next sentence he says in
(23:00):
that little dietribe about illegal immigration, he says, by the way,
white men commit murder at fifty five times the rate
of illegal So what's that all about? Or something along
those lines. He goes all anti white men in the
classic way that those people do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is not pertinent to anything that matters to your life,
like policy or who was president for what reason, or
anything like that. This is just a drug addict explaining
how he ended up back on drugs and the victim
mentality of this crowd.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So he had been sober.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't remember where this picks up if he repeats
it on my apologies, but he'd been sober off and
on for a variety of years, and he had a
little stretch of sobriety going here, and he drank, and
he went back to his rehab and then anyway, he
tells the story here.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
For close to a year and between up in a
place in Pennsylvania and then back in DC to be
near my kids and not want it by my ex
wife back in the house, and so for the first
time in forty six years and live it alone. I
don't have my brother. The rest of the family is
in this awful state of grief and we feel reddless.
(24:19):
I think, for the first time in my life, completely reddless.
And anyway, long story short is I kind of held
it together for about a year and almost exactly a
year my brother's death, and then I admitted that I
slipped up with a drink and the doctor a patient
program that I was in I was going to four
times a day and getting tests. I said, look, I drank,
(24:43):
so we want to test you. Anyway, I said, you
test me, it becomes a part of a record, and
I don't want it as a part of a record
because it's not protected by HIPPA. And he said, well,
you can't come back in if we don't test you.
And I said, well, this is what I did. And
they said it doesn't matter telling us and we're.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Still we needed for our records.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
I said, well, thank you, and I walked out, and
I walked out to the park across the street and
Lincoln Park in d C, which is not very far
from the White House, which is I knew to be
a you know kind of sometimes an open air you know, uh,
drug market, and I saw someone that I knew from
(25:24):
my past life as being in the streets, a woman
that I referred to as bicycles, and I knew that
it was kind of a a suicidal thought. I said,
do you got any crack? She sold me crack, and
then that was it. From there, It's just progressively worse
and worse. How about that story?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Wow? And that something?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So this guy whose dad has been a US senator
for a half a century, they're ungodly wealthy. He has
screwed up his life so bad that he's going to
a rehab where he has to get tested four times
a day. I've never even heard of such a thing.
That's insane. Well, clearly because he's been so off the
rails so many different times. We're not going to let
(26:05):
you in here unless you get tested four times a
day because your track record is so sketchy. And he
goes in times a day. Twice a day would be something, Yeah,
I know. So he goes in there and says, I drank. Well, okay,
we need to test you. Why I just told you
I drink because that's what we do. We need to
test you because they want to know if you're doing
(26:26):
other drugs. Dude, Dude, they want to know if you
just drank or if you're lying, or you're also on
crack or whatever else. And besides, they're rules. You don't
like them. Go back to the run in your life yourself.
See how that has worked for you. And he says,
f you, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
My only defense of the fu is that he was
drunk apparently or had been drinking. But there's a stunning
lack of awareness. Let me see if I can put
the frase. And he's telling the story now like he's
justifying it. Obviously you could tell from the tone of
a voice. Yeah, he's so hug when he's doing this interview,
and he's not. He didn't say because I was drunk
and I was so self centered and you know I
(27:08):
made this stupid No, he's justifying it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
He's standing up for him.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So he's standing up for They were wrong, clearly you
can tell by his tone.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Not protected by hippo, which is terrible.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And they they forced me into a situation where I
had to go do crack because of the way.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
They treated me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh, it's still the victim, you're right, But the guy
is in a situation where he has to be tested
four times a day, and when they want to test him,
he's like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's out about right? Yeah? Wow, you are right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
He had been in and out of rehabs for years
and years and years. He knew the deal. But so
I just I'm just amazed that at this point in
his mid fifties, after all this's been through, he's still
blaming other people for the way things have gone.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And because doctor Chill was there and as a doctor sorry,
the control room's talking to me, not a real doctor.
Well remember that stuff that came out from his laptop
where he talked about how much smarter than he is
than doctor Jill about his degree.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Right, yeah, really bad mouse.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, he's so so much smarter because he went to
Yale or wherever he went to that. I'm sure, of
course the Biden kid was going to get into Yale.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So much dysfunction. Wow, what an interesting duty is.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I was looking at some apparently they've been floating around
for a long time, at text messages that came out
during one of the many court cases he was in
between him and Bow's wife, who he ended up ruining
her entire existence. And he was doing the whole victim
thing there too. She was trying to cut loose from him,
and he was all about the way she treated him,
(28:55):
and that's why he drank and blah blah blah. She
comes into his life, her husband dies of cancer, Hunter
comes into her life and spends all her money, gets
cracked up, all these different things. Just horrible. Yeah, God,
he is one of the all time losers, which you
know can happen with drugs and alcohol. But are you
(29:16):
ever going to own up into it to it? Are
you ever going to see yourself for what you are?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Hunter?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You're a loser raising your kid in affluence and power.
That might be the hardest parenting job that exists. Oh yeah,
I'm sure it is very very difficult. But the fact
that Hunter was that guy is that guy still apparently.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But his dad couldn't see it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I guess that's just part of being a parent sometimes
you know you're deluded by your own love of your kid.
But his dad was still treating him like a good,
steady presence to have around with. Very wise judgment on
how I should not only run my campaign but the
whole country. Yeah, yeah, Well, Joe Biden's an egomaniac.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I think that's clear at this point that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Whole Biden family thing is crazy. There'll be books written
about this when the more details are available. They were
such an insular, full of themselves king of.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
The world, Kings of the world.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Sort of thing, well like kings of and junkiest crooks
and junkies. And the information in this podcast that makes
it clear about how they punished people who went against
the family. And that was Bo's wife because she she
wrote a book about all this after she had her
life torn apart by Hunter and man. She was ostracized
(30:43):
by the whole family because you don't go against the family.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh. Part of that is you're all on the gravy train.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You don't want to go against the family because you're all,
you know, living in gazillion dollar houses and driving expensive
cars and going to fancy colleges because dad's paying for it. Well,
dad's not paying for it, Barisma Oil Company's paying for it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
In a variety of other people. It's like the mob
with Domerta.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You don't go outside, you don't speak of what our
thing in the Biden family, the Biden mob. Wow, And
that was one of your top advisors there in those
final days for how to handle situations. And where's Jill?
I mean, did Jill? Jill couldn't see hunder for what
(31:24):
he was t say.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
One way, you did it. You took all the drugs,
she said to him. Come on, we.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Got more of that three hour podcast for you. A
little bit later, we got mailbag on the way.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Next day.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Here, Stephen Colemer came last night with his first live show,
entire live show since he got fired or whatever. Anyway,
it was a star studded affair, like everybody who was
anybody was in the crowd for that first chill Act
to be part of the resistance. And I was just
(32:03):
reading an interesting piece about how NPR going away at
the same time that late night talk shows go away
is a pretty big blow to Democrats in terms of
just mainstream cultural hold on the messaging out there.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, it remains unclear how much NPR will be affected
by the drop in federal funding. I don't think much
at all. Uh yeah, okay, Maro on that to come.
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. We're gonna
go with Winston Churchill here. I love this one. Success
is not final failure. Is not fatal. It's the courage
to continue that counts man. That's all reminded.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Go ahead. That's a lesson I've had to learn over
and over.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Well on the flip side of that coin. And I
can't remember who said it, but it was absolutely brilliant.
It was our Freedom and Loving quote of the day.
You know, sometime in the last year was that the
great appeal of giving up is that success is temporary.
You have to prove yourself again and again. You have
to keep winning, you have to keep growing, innovating, whatever.
And that's a great way to live your life. But
(33:09):
if you give up, you're done well. In the line
I always quote from the Drive by Truckers, there's no
such thing as a happy ending.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It just depends on when you roll the credits. That
is very true.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, you can think of any favorite TV show or
movie you want that has a happy ending. Okay, how
about a year from then, are they still married or
does he keep the job or you know, whatever happened
there at the end, that was a happy turnaround. How
did they get hurt the first play of the game
once they made the team. You know, all kinds of
things can happen.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, it's so true, so true. The Avid Brothers have
a great song that addresses that that very thought. Anyway, Mailbag,
have practically no time, but drop us a note, Mailbag
and I'm strong.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Getdy dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Ernest and beautiful Valencia, California suggests that the Kisscam couple
the next chapter in their lives ought to be an
OnlyFans account. Oh man, they probably won't because they're still
both filthy rich unless they need to stroke their egos.
You never know, God, how are things at home? I
suppose that story will come out some way.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
At some point. Uncomfortable and lawyery.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Oh yes, boy, it's being a lawyers the intern who
kept biting your coworkers in.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
The New York law firms. Stay with us, let's see.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
You know, we're talking an how or four of the
show about various tests to see how well you're aging,
including can you stand up from the floor you're sitting
on the floor, can you stand up without using your hands?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
And a number of.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
People suggested, here's how I did it, you can do
it too, blah blah blah. Was great, And then a
number of people wrote in like paragraphed after paragraph.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
About their kick ass.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fitness regimen and how they can do this easily and
that easily, and I run eight hundred miles a week
and I do seventy five push ups before I even
wake up, and blah blah blah. Has your life experience
suggested to you that anybody wants to hear that ever
you bragging about how fit you are, what a hard
ass you will. Let I'm not sand there's anything wrong
(35:02):
with no for you. I envy you on a certain level.
But let me give you a little advice. Almost everybody
you tell that to resents you telling them that you're
not making any friends by doing it.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
At best, they're bored. That's the best case. It's a
bonus mail bag next hour. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
God, Oh, that's funny. That used to happen every time
I ran. When I used to run, and I'd mention
enough as I and everybody'd have to email about how
they ran faster.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, good for you.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh yeah, I run off one hundred miles a day,
every single day before dawn. All right, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And Jackie and he.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Arms live from the studio see see senor.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now we are in a dimly lit room, deep within
the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound, where
everything emanates that today we are under the tutelage of
our general manager, Hunter Biden, a new Biden for a
new century. I realize it's twenty twenty. We're still workshopping
to slogan Hunter Biden. Crack the coat of the White House.
(00:59):
That was the great It's no pipe dream, Hunter Biden.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hunter Biden, a lang, a gun and nothing else. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Wow, put that pistol away, Hunter Biden in twenty twenty eight.
So does the word purient have to be sexual or
can it be just anything that you find? Like I'm
just wondering, is the enjoyment of the fact that Hunter
Biden did a three hour podcast where he goes off
(01:34):
like a crackhead is enjoying that just purient? Sort of
look at a scumbag who doesn't have their act together,
losing their mind? I mean, is there any I mean
I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not pretending that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Two too too fascinating questions.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
In one, I'm not pretending that I don't have purient interests.
But is that does that word apply here? It's mostly
with Kourian. Does seem to be uh a sexual?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Okay? So then what would be the right word?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
What would be what would be the right word for
enjoying something like Hunter Biden going off in a podcast
for three hours like a crackhead when there's like no
real value to it, but when it's fun. If you idea,
if you're not a fan of the Biden family, what
would you call that?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What? What is that word? It's it's on the tip
of my tongue. I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's whatever the word is for it. If it's not Purian,
it's it's close to Furian, it's Hurrians adjacent, as we
say these days. Because I was listening to it, I
think I kept thinking, I'm really enjoying this, but there's
like no real value to it. It depends according to
(02:50):
the Unforgivable book by Jake Tapper and the other guy
who's less of a weasel, Hunter was weighing in heavily
on important top He was part of the the Pulit
Bureau of the White House when his mummified father was
no longer capable of leading. So one could argue that
(03:10):
as historians and then others try to get to the
bottom of what was going on in that White House,
a more full understanding of Hunter is absolutely justified. Yeah,
and I'm not completely convinced by my case, But that
wasn't That wasn't as silly as I thought it would
sound when I was thinking of it.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, that makes sense if you don't know what we're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So Hunter Biden, the crack addicted, drunk and just a
dick son of the former President Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Don't need to go to the dictionary for that one.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You know, you know what he's like. He's like most
people who grew up rich. Not most, that's unfair to say,
but he's like a lot of people who grew up
rich and powerful.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I've known several of my life. So you were in
a privilege.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Your dad or your dad or grandpa accomplished something, became
rich and powerful, and now you've got the swagger of
someone who accomplished anything. Though all you accomplished was being
born into that family.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, he got a law degree from somewhere, and I
have a feeling his way was paved with a nice,
big contribution. Sure has become clear in recent days. Sure, yeah,
and just that sort of person. And Hunter Biden is
like man, he is a special case of that. I
guess you'll hear in some of these clips he is.
I think he's actually a pretty bright guy. He's certainly articulate,
(04:35):
but he is a great, great example of somebody who
has high intelligence and absolutely no judgment. Well, I can
tell you, as a guy who's been around the world
of alcoholics and drug addicts a lot over the last
twenty years or so, he has got just the classic
everything is everybody else's fault attitude that keeps you a
(04:57):
drug addict your whole life. I mean just it just
blames everyone else for everything. He is completely uninable to
see his own role in things. Yeah, it would sound interesting. God,
he is such a jerk. Anyway, We're gonna play some
clips of him later. Uh, the one about it. I
found this interesting just because, like I said, I know
(05:19):
a lot about that world. His excuse for starting backup
on crack is just classic, I'm a victim.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You're a victim.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
You're like one of the most elite upbringings on planet Earth.
How are you a victim of anything other than your
own decisions? Any who, We'll get to that a little
bit later. I was just reading Mark Halpern's newsletter yesterday
and I only read the first sentence. I never got
to the rest, But it was like, what was Hunter
Biden thinking going on this podcast?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And he's just a guy full of.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Anger for the fact that he's no longer, you know,
selling paintings at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars apiece
and walking around the White House making big calls.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He he hates that other people's fault.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He has significant and growing financial problems and the political world,
with its wide open checkbooks, which used to be so
generous for reasons that he probably never fully reckoned that
he didn't but he didn't make, but he thought he
should be, you know, making a million dollars a year
or whatever. He was advising various corporations on things he
(06:25):
had no expertise.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
In, right, but those checkbooks have snapped closed.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
The headline out of it, which we'll play, well, I
won't give that away one of the headlines out of it,
But we will get to that coming up very very
soon this hour probably, and then discuss as we go there.
Also want to share with you a story that had
both my daughter and I cracking up last night as
we went to dinner together.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Was absolutely delightful.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wait the law in turn, which my daughter happens to
be at this moment, who was finally let go because
she kept biting her coworkers?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
At what age the legal masticator.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Committed that offense between five and twelve times depending on
who you ask.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
She is almost certainly in her twenties.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, biting people at work, So that happens, That happens
with kindergarteners. Some were preschoolers, the Biden's dogs. My memory,
my memory is it didn't. I don't remember it happening
after kindergarten really kind of got the whole biting people
thing under control even by first grade generally, right.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yes, yes, so a bit of a deficiency.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I also, in discussing the story with her several new
hipster terms. So I can't wait to hear that that
is a you. Wow, that's a special kind of there's
something wrong with you. If you can't stop biting people.
Oh yeah, and then this is a human, right, not
a dog, not a dog that went to law school. No,
it's human human female as a matter of fact. And yeah,
and you know, one of our questions was, you know,
(08:05):
you bite one person, that's a that's pretty aberrant behavior.
You like administer that second, third, even fourth chomp? You
think you know your leashes run out? Probably poor metaphor,
but apparently it was allowed to continue.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's a fascinating tale. I really feel like once is
too much. I get a second time on biting.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You know what, I didn't mention this is one of
the biggest, most important, famous law firms in the country.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Really, yes, wow, okay, the tooth, the whole tooth and
nothing but the tooth. You I wrong. You get it, Michael,
I don't think you got it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I get it, Okay, a human, not a dog, but
a bitch nonetheless, Oh wow, I think I can call
someone a bitch if they would bite me multiple times.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Surely I have the free reign. Well, I don't appreciate
the harsh language. You know what.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I watched too much of the Hunter Biden podcast, and
he curses so much that I've kind of felt like,
that's just the way people talk. So I got to
I gotta get readjusted to the normal world, the non
crack smoking in a cheap hotel room world where we
don't get is that way.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's so funny. I just had a conversation with my wife.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We have a remodel going on in our house, and
some electricians were in nice fellas. I don't mean to,
you know, bad mouth them at all, but they're like,
they're just on the other side of the plastic sheeting
and they're dropping some S bombs, and I'm like, hey,
you know, you're in your customer's house, Alan, that's not
super cool. I was trying to decide whether to say something.
I mentioned it to Judy and she said, oh, well,
(09:43):
when I was talking to him yesterday, I dropped an
F bomb. So well, we're you little permission structure there.
Are you offended? Are you afraid others in your house
might be offended?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You know what? I am slightly offended by the impropriet
of it, not like not like offended offense. You were
having tea in your You're already upset because your white
gloves had a smudge any right, yes, yes, and there
was peanut butter on them because our laundry room is
now our kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, I just thought, no, no, no, you don't do
that in somebody's home. That's not that's not right.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And then turns out my foul mouth bride at the
root of it all Hunter.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Biden esque dietribe against the two of the weaker. Right, Okay,
let's start show officially.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this It is Tuesday,
July twenty second, the year twenty twenty five, where Armstrong
and getting we approved of this program. Okay, let's begin
then officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show
starts at mark.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I know exactly what happened in that debate.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He flew around the world, basically the mileage that he
could have flown around the world three times. Yeah, he's
eighty one years old, he's tired. Give him ambient to
be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage
and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So that's breaking news of some sort.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
If the president was on ambient at the time because
he had to sleep to fly around the world. Worth
pointing out that part of the reason he did so
much flying is he had to fly back to the
United States for a big fundraiser at George Clooney's request,
to then fly back to the g whatever meeting it was,
so that was a choice to hang out with the
(11:26):
rich and powerful to make more money. He didn't have
to do that. Also worth pointing out he had eight
days nine days. News Nation said it was nine days
he had to recover. Wait a minute, I was about to,
you know, make some sympathetic it was sympathetic noises there,
but wait a minute, nine days to recover recording the
News Nation. I haven't looked into that. And secondly, what's
(11:46):
it like flying around the world on Air Force one
where you have a full you lay on it bed.
Is it really that difficult?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
With a nice woosh of the engines in the background,
that sounds really relaxing. I have a feeling it's not
exactly like the way we all fly when we fly.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
No. Wow, some four hundred pounds idiot with his elbow
in our ribs. Yeah, it's he didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Stop in Chicago and had an eight hour layover, and
you're drinking some cold coffee with some kids screaming waiting
for your next flight, Come on now. Anyway, more on
that coming up later. We got some of the headlines
of the day. It's gonna be a good one. Stay
here text line four one five two nine KFTC. I
(12:32):
just got contacted by a secret source inside the world
of the Secret Service about the whole Trump assassination thing
with some new information that we will share a little
bit later. That's pretty interesting, I think since we just
came off the one year anniversary.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Also need to look into this. Trump was making some
noise last night.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
First time I think I've heard of this at the
presidential level, about the whole no bail thing that caught
on across country in various places, and you know how
many people are out on the streets committing more crimes.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Then I heard a.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Tease on News Nation, Is this actually the reason there's
more crime? We'll check the statistics and they use there.
We have statistics that would refute that tone of voice,
but I never got around to listening to it, So
I have to dig that up because I can't imagine
what that would be.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, you have.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
To listen to the whole thing and assess it to
understand whether they're using the statistics fairly or right.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Obviously, abuse of that sort of thing is ramped.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Well, yeah, and we hear it all the time, including
the dude in his scumbag friend who shot that off
duty immigration dude in New York in the face. They
had been arrested multiple times for multiple crimes and let
go immediately with the no cash bail situation, right right,
I think one of the extremely faulty foundational assumption of
(14:00):
what somebody on the left would say about, you know,
no cash bail because it unfairly targets the poor and
they don't have cash so that they can't get out.
It's a financial discrimination, blah blah blah. There for in
our brave new Marxist world, we can't have this. The
problem is that underlying it, nobody ever says this is
an assumption that we all commit crimes at roughly the
(14:21):
same rate and that only the poor are victimized by
the whole cash bail thing, Whereas any cop, any judge,
any defense lawyers being honest will tell you, no, it's
a tiny percentage of the population that commits like all
of the crimes. And so if you have somebody who's
committed multiple crimes. I don't care if you're Bill Gates
(14:44):
or don't have a crust of bread to your name.
You gotta be held. You're a scumbag, you're a lawbreaker.
It's got nothing to do with class or financial status anyway,
speaking of assassinations, rather, I knew this got your attention, Jack.
The National Archives yesterday published more than six thousand documents
(15:07):
related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Junior in
nineteen sixty eight, hundreds of thousands of pages two hundred
and forty thousand pages in total made available to the public.
I gotta believe historians have written Pulitzer Prize winning books
were digging through that like a treasure trove of things
they've wondered forever. Apparently somebody reads more quickly than I
(15:28):
do and has read and digested all quarter million pages.
The trove does not appear to include any major new
details on King's murder. The material includes investigators, written notes,
and intelligence gathered during the manhunt for James Earl Ray
King's killer, all of which, while maybe not tripping the
trigger of conspiracy theorists and any giant headlines, is just
(15:50):
a fascinating glimpse of the time. Well, yeah, now what
I think is going to be what I guarantee is
in there is there is going to be a lot
about the way, uh, the FBI spied on Martin Luther
King Jr. In a way that probably isn't cool. We
already know lots about that. We're going we're gonna know
even more about it with these documents being released. That's
(16:11):
where the money is to me, not some sort of
crazy conspiracy like we were talking about yesterday. The same
FBI that's now lionized by the left that spied regularly
in all kinds of Americans without constitutional right to do
so in this case and many.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Others, right right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
In another political story of note, Japan's ruling party lost
a bunch of seats and is now going to have
to form some sort of coalition. And I read some
analysis of it. I was trying to decide whether it
was worth bringing it to you. I think that it's
too much and it's Japan. But here's the key. The
reason they lost is there's a new far right party
(16:57):
that was organized during COVID on YouTube, very populist, very trumpy,
some similar policy stances too, and they won fourteen seats
in the Upper House. This brand new YouTube launched party
that's pretty interesting in one of the world's major economies
is a big economy. We'll have to talk more about
(17:19):
that later. That's I wonder if that's a glimpse of
the future. So we'll get to some of the Hunter
Biden audio. He did a three hour podcast Unhinged gold Boy,
and some of it's pretty interesting, So stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Why do I have to listen to you? What right
do you have to step on a man who's given
fifty two years of his life to the service of
this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going
to take out basically a full page add in New
York Times to undermine the president.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Wow, you know it sound like a lunas senile Hunter
and unfit for the office.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You don't sound like a lunatic at all. Hunter.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Everybody's listening to this and thinking, Wow, you are the
smartest person Joe Biden knows. I mean, you are so
clearly intelligent, wise, steady, all kinds of good things.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
His lack of self awareness is amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Three hour podcast Hunter Biden did from what I've read,
though mostly Democrats are responding with good He finally said
some of the things out loud.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
People should have said that. They're not bothered by it.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
A lot of mainstream Democrats really hate George Clooney for
taking out that New York full page New York Times
ad telling them the place they're delusional. I know, So
do you think he would have won if he stayed in?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You surely you don't.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
There are people claiming that out loud, Jack, and they
know people are listening, so they must believe it. I
was gonna dive in later The New York Times with
their twenty Democrats twenty twenty four autopsy is described as
avoiding the likeliest cause of death. They're not going to
look at Joe Biden's decision to run or key decisions
(19:01):
by Kamala Harris's team. According to six people briefed on
the report, the level of delusion among Democrats right now
is unlike anything I've ever seen. So we played a
little snippet of the whole excuse for why the debate
was such a disaster for his dad. We'll play the
long version of that later, but I want to get
(19:23):
this on this is an interesting glimpse into the way
a lot of people on the left look at the
whole immigration slash illegal immigration topic.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
This is Hunter Biden, like all these Democrats say, you
have to talk about and realize that people are really
upset about illegal immigration. You, how do you think your
hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have
food on your table? Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your garden? Who do you
think is here by the sheer just grit and will
(19:58):
that they've figured out a way to get you because
they thought that they could give theirselves in their family
a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us
that these people are in the criminals.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
If you told me that voice was a twenty three
year old Columbia grad student, I'd be like, oh my god,
how did you get yours? It's going to take to
straighten that guy out. Well, he got through college because
that's what he was taught, right, But how do you
how are you that old and have such a stupid
view of the whole thing. So Hunter Biden, again, the
smartest person Joe Biden's ever known. According to Joe Biden,
(20:35):
thinks you should just randomly let people into the country
so they can clean your hotel rooms. There's all kinds
of problems with that. You gotta have borders, you gotta
have a system, obviously. And then do you realize, Hunter,
that the next batch of illegals that come in six
months from now undermine the wages of the last, the
(20:56):
most the current batch that's here, over and over again.
I mean, it's it's a spiral of punishing those people
unless you just like, really really low wages for the
brown people that you import to do jobs you don't
think kids like your kids should have to do.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Progressive America is in favor of importing a brown underclass
and making them do manual You're the only person I've
really enlightened way to look.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
You're the only person I've ever heard say that, and
it is so clearly true.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, I can hardly.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Sum it up the energy to counter some of his
moronic statements. But dumb, dumb, the people you described, the
hard working, good, decent, honest people. There's a hell of
a lot of Americans who are like, hey, can we
figure out a way that if we need workers and
they want to come in, we can work on We're.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Perfectly fine with that.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But the idea of throwing the border open so that
every trendy Aragua member with a gat and a little
ambition comes into the country along with your you know, vaunted,
mythic humble house cleaner, that's an idiotic system. It's so idiotic.
I'm sorry I wasted your time in refuting it. But
(22:08):
I mean, if he was basically the chief of staff
and advisor for his dad, that kind of explains their
border policy a little bit. If that's where he comes
from on the whole thing. By the way, the next
thing he said, and that might be just a family
belief true about immigration that Looney Tunes and just kindergarten oversimplified.
(22:30):
Oh yeah, and it also fits in with the whole
The neighborhood you live in hasn't changed in any way
because of the legal immigration like it has so many
places across the country.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Because you live in.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
A gazillion dollar gated community, so your school's hospitals, everything
else has not seen the repercussions of that policy. Right
You just when you stay in the presidential sweet it's
cleaned and you got a nice house cleaner and your
gardeners do a really nice job there at your mansions.
By the way, like the next sentence he says in
(23:00):
that little dietribe about illegal immigration, he says, by the way,
white men commit murder at fifty five times the rate
of illegal So what's that all about? Or something along
those lines. He goes all anti white men in the
classic way that those people do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is not pertinent to anything that matters to your life,
like policy or who was president for what reason, or
anything like that. This is just a drug addict explaining
how he ended up back on drugs and the victim
mentality of this crowd.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So he had been sober.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't remember where this picks up if he repeats
it on my apologies, but he'd been sober off and
on for a variety of years, and he had a
little stretch of sobriety going here, and he drank, and
he went back to his rehab and then anyway, he
tells the story here.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
For close to a year and between up in a
place in Pennsylvania and then back in DC to be
near my kids and not want it by my ex
wife back in the house, and so for the first
time in forty six years and live it alone. I
don't have my brother. The rest of the family is
in this awful state of grief and we feel reddless.
(24:19):
I think, for the first time in my life, completely reddless.
And anyway, long story short is I kind of held
it together for about a year and almost exactly a
year my brother's death, and then I admitted that I
slipped up with a drink and the doctor a patient
program that I was in I was going to four
times a day and getting tests. I said, look, I drank,
(24:43):
so we want to test you. Anyway, I said, you
test me, it becomes a part of a record, and
I don't want it as a part of a record
because it's not protected by HIPPA. And he said, well,
you can't come back in if we don't test you.
And I said, well, this is what I did. And
they said it doesn't matter telling us and we're.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Still we needed for our records.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
I said, well, thank you, and I walked out, and
I walked out to the park across the street and
Lincoln Park in d C, which is not very far
from the White House, which is I knew to be
a you know kind of sometimes an open air you know, uh,
drug market, and I saw someone that I knew from
(25:24):
my past life as being in the streets, a woman
that I referred to as bicycles, and I knew that
it was kind of a a suicidal thought. I said,
do you got any crack? She sold me crack, and
then that was it. From there, It's just progressively worse
and worse. How about that story?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Wow? And that something?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So this guy whose dad has been a US senator
for a half a century, they're ungodly wealthy. He has
screwed up his life so bad that he's going to
a rehab where he has to get tested four times
a day. I've never even heard of such a thing.
That's insane. Well, clearly because he's been so off the
rails so many different times. We're not going to let
(26:05):
you in here unless you get tested four times a
day because your track record is so sketchy. And he
goes in times a day. Twice a day would be something, Yeah,
I know. So he goes in there and says, I drank. Well, okay,
we need to test you. Why I just told you
I drink because that's what we do. We need to
test you because they want to know if you're doing
(26:26):
other drugs. Dude, Dude, they want to know if you
just drank or if you're lying, or you're also on
crack or whatever else. And besides, they're rules. You don't
like them. Go back to the run in your life yourself.
See how that has worked for you. And he says,
f you, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
My only defense of the fu is that he was
drunk apparently or had been drinking. But there's a stunning
lack of awareness. Let me see if I can put
the frase. And he's telling the story now like he's
justifying it. Obviously you could tell from the tone of
a voice. Yeah, he's so hug when he's doing this interview,
and he's not. He didn't say because I was drunk
and I was so self centered and you know I
(27:08):
made this stupid No, he's justifying it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
He's standing up for him.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So he's standing up for They were wrong, clearly you
can tell by his tone.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Not protected by hippo, which is terrible.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And they they forced me into a situation where I
had to go do crack because of the way.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
They treated me.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh, it's still the victim, you're right, But the guy
is in a situation where he has to be tested
four times a day, and when they want to test him,
he's like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
That's out about right? Yeah? Wow, you are right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
He had been in and out of rehabs for years
and years and years. He knew the deal. But so
I just I'm just amazed that at this point in
his mid fifties, after all this's been through, he's still
blaming other people for the way things have gone.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And because doctor Chill was there and as a doctor sorry,
the control room's talking to me, not a real doctor.
Well remember that stuff that came out from his laptop
where he talked about how much smarter than he is
than doctor Jill about his degree.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Right, yeah, really bad mouse.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, he's so so much smarter because he went to
Yale or wherever he went to that. I'm sure, of
course the Biden kid was going to get into Yale.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So much dysfunction. Wow, what an interesting duty is.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I was looking at some apparently they've been floating around
for a long time, at text messages that came out
during one of the many court cases he was in
between him and Bow's wife, who he ended up ruining
her entire existence. And he was doing the whole victim
thing there too. She was trying to cut loose from him,
and he was all about the way she treated him,
(28:55):
and that's why he drank and blah blah blah. She
comes into his life, her husband dies of cancer, Hunter
comes into her life and spends all her money, gets
cracked up, all these different things. Just horrible. Yeah, God,
he is one of the all time losers, which you
know can happen with drugs and alcohol. But are you
(29:16):
ever going to own up into it to it? Are
you ever going to see yourself for what you are?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Hunter?
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You're a loser raising your kid in affluence and power.
That might be the hardest parenting job that exists. Oh yeah,
I'm sure it is very very difficult. But the fact
that Hunter was that guy is that guy still apparently.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But his dad couldn't see it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I guess that's just part of being a parent sometimes
you know you're deluded by your own love of your kid.
But his dad was still treating him like a good,
steady presence to have around with. Very wise judgment on
how I should not only run my campaign but the
whole country. Yeah, yeah, Well, Joe Biden's an egomaniac.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I think that's clear at this point that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Whole Biden family thing is crazy. There'll be books written
about this when the more details are available. They were
such an insular, full of themselves king of.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
The world, Kings of the world.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Sort of thing, well like kings of and junkiest crooks
and junkies. And the information in this podcast that makes
it clear about how they punished people who went against
the family. And that was Bo's wife because she she
wrote a book about all this after she had her
life torn apart by Hunter and man. She was ostracized
(30:43):
by the whole family because you don't go against the family.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh. Part of that is you're all on the gravy train.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You don't want to go against the family because you're all,
you know, living in gazillion dollar houses and driving expensive
cars and going to fancy colleges because dad's paying for it. Well,
dad's not paying for it, Barisma Oil Company's paying for it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
In a variety of other people. It's like the mob
with Domerta.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You don't go outside, you don't speak of what our
thing in the Biden family, the Biden mob. Wow, And
that was one of your top advisors there in those
final days for how to handle situations. And where's Jill?
I mean, did Jill? Jill couldn't see hunder for what
(31:24):
he was t say.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
One way, you did it. You took all the drugs,
she said to him. Come on, we.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Got more of that three hour podcast for you. A
little bit later, we got mailbag on the way.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Next day.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Here, Stephen Colemer came last night with his first live show,
entire live show since he got fired or whatever. Anyway,
it was a star studded affair, like everybody who was
anybody was in the crowd for that first chill Act
to be part of the resistance. And I was just
(32:03):
reading an interesting piece about how NPR going away at
the same time that late night talk shows go away
is a pretty big blow to Democrats in terms of
just mainstream cultural hold on the messaging out there.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, it remains unclear how much NPR will be affected
by the drop in federal funding. I don't think much
at all. Uh yeah, okay, Maro on that to come.
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. We're gonna
go with Winston Churchill here. I love this one. Success
is not final failure. Is not fatal. It's the courage
to continue that counts man. That's all reminded.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Go ahead. That's a lesson I've had to learn over
and over.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Well on the flip side of that coin. And I
can't remember who said it, but it was absolutely brilliant.
It was our Freedom and Loving quote of the day.
You know, sometime in the last year was that the
great appeal of giving up is that success is temporary.
You have to prove yourself again and again. You have
to keep winning, you have to keep growing, innovating, whatever.
And that's a great way to live your life. But
(33:09):
if you give up, you're done well. In the line
I always quote from the Drive by Truckers, there's no
such thing as a happy ending.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
It just depends on when you roll the credits. That
is very true.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah, you can think of any favorite TV show or
movie you want that has a happy ending. Okay, how
about a year from then, are they still married or
does he keep the job or you know, whatever happened
there at the end, that was a happy turnaround. How
did they get hurt the first play of the game
once they made the team. You know, all kinds of
things can happen.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, it's so true, so true. The Avid Brothers have
a great song that addresses that that very thought. Anyway, Mailbag,
have practically no time, but drop us a note, Mailbag
and I'm strong.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Getdy dot com.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Ernest and beautiful Valencia, California suggests that the Kisscam couple
the next chapter in their lives ought to be an
OnlyFans account. Oh man, they probably won't because they're still
both filthy rich unless they need to stroke their egos.
You never know, God, how are things at home? I
suppose that story will come out some way.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
At some point. Uncomfortable and lawyery.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Oh yes, boy, it's being a lawyers the intern who
kept biting your coworkers in.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
The New York law firms. Stay with us, let's see.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
You know, we're talking an how or four of the
show about various tests to see how well you're aging,
including can you stand up from the floor you're sitting
on the floor, can you stand up without using your hands?
Speaker 2 (34:32):
And a number of.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
People suggested, here's how I did it, you can do
it too, blah blah blah. Was great, And then a
number of people wrote in like paragraphed after paragraph.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
About their kick ass.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Fitness regimen and how they can do this easily and
that easily, and I run eight hundred miles a week
and I do seventy five push ups before I even
wake up, and blah blah blah. Has your life experience
suggested to you that anybody wants to hear that ever
you bragging about how fit you are, what a hard
ass you will. Let I'm not sand there's anything wrong
(35:02):
with no for you. I envy you on a certain level.
But let me give you a little advice. Almost everybody
you tell that to resents you telling them that you're
not making any friends by doing it.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
At best, they're bored. That's the best case. It's a
bonus mail bag next hour. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
God, Oh, that's funny. That used to happen every time
I ran. When I used to run, and I'd mention
enough as I and everybody'd have to email about how
they ran faster.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Okay, good for you.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Oh yeah, I run off one hundred miles a day,
every single day before dawn. All right, Armstrong and Getty
