Speaker 2 (00:11):
Cake and he.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Armstrong and Getty an important youth sports question. We'll let
Joe Getty be the judge coming up? Do I have to.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You could just say eh, I don't know. It doesn't
sound very entertaining. I see your point. I will be
the judge.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
A lot of good stuff to squeeze into the final
hour of the week. But first, it's the Friday tradition.
Take a fun look back at the week that was.
It's cow clips of the week, Clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Today.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
We have breaking news as we come on the air.
Ozzy Osbourne has died.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Scottish Shup has his Open championship, so please you well again.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
We hope it gets a little bit more competitive because
like a girl.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Trip to Cancun. Right now, there's no dame. Would an
untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism.
I still think about Kamala. I had to come back
for the insurance because I'm they informed me earlier this year.
I'm on Cobra, I'm as I am. There's someone that's
(01:46):
been so focused on trying to understand all of that.
Can a man become a woman? Can a man become
a woman?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Convicting killer Brian Coberger forced to face the families of
his victims and a survivor.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
He chows destruction, he chows evil.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
In my view, the time has now calm to end
mister Colberger's fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
You may received a's in high school and college, but
you're going to be getting big d's in prison.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people.
President Obama and his leadership team effectively launch a year's
long coup against the sitting president of the United States.
If you want to take a look at that and
stop talking about nonsense.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Attorney General Pambondi told President Trump that his name appears
multiple times of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Some Democrats are joining Republicans in Congress demanding the files
be released.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
People ask me what's going to cost me politically, I say, well,
share it is. How do you get correct? It's everywhere?
Mainly for that reason, I learned how to make my
own I know exactly what happened in that debate, she's
tired of give him ambient to be able to sleep. You,
how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you got food on your table? The
(03:13):
crack is whack.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, a couple of quick things before Joe's hot take
on youth sports one, and I'm not going to talk
about Epstein anymore today. Nobody can make me other than
what I'm about to say. Mark Halprin put out a
video today which I will watch. He says in my
reported monologue, I break down why the Trump Epstein scandal
might be the most politically dangerous controversy Trump has ever faced. Well,
(03:59):
I want to hear him explain that because I don't
get it, So stay tuned for that. I saw this yesterday.
I didn't listen Hulk Hogan's cardiac arrest nine to one
one dispatch audio came out. I hate that sort of thing.
I understand why transparency is good with government agencies, but
(04:20):
that's not the way it's used. It's used for celebrities
and just yeah, I get it. It's it's a public
record and we're the public. But it's distasteful. Yeah, not cool. Okay,
this so a they're in the Little League World Series time.
I guess the little kids playing little kids kid hit
(04:42):
a home run the other day, flipped a bat, got suspended,
and that's I guess that's become a problem nationwide, not
just this one kid who they reinstated, which I think
might be just because he's such a good player and
they need which happens also at all levels of sport.
But what do you think about bat flipping for kids?
(05:03):
Because in Japan, for instance, you hit a home run,
you flipped the bat. It's kind of an art form
and people love it. Nature and the United States we've
frowned upon it for many, many years. It's seen it
as showboating, although it seems kind of crazy the way
all sports are now that we have any limits on showboating, Yeah,
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I've got to get over my learned and long held
belief in not showboating because I was brought up to
not do that.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I hated people who did that.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I thought it was dumb, unnecessarily like look at me,
look at me, look at me. You just hit a
home run. Everybody is looking at you. You don't have
to do a dance. So my personal distaste for it.
I will put aside because I am like that little
solomonic in my wisdom.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And you're also old that too.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You could make a safety argument because the rules of
baseball make it very clear you have one option with
your bat, that is to drop it, to have it
no longer be in your hand as quickly as possible
before you run to first base, before.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You do anything right, So you could make that argue.
I get that, But the controversy is mostly around we
want the show voting or not. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell
you when my son was playing youth football, because it's
just it's just the zeitgeist. It's not good. I don't
like it, but I don't see how you're gonna stop
it because the pros do it, and the kids watch
the pros, and it's a TV show, a for profit
(06:36):
TV show, and the TV show is better when they
show boat.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean, it just is. But all the kids, young kids.
My son was what was he ten at the time.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Every play, every mundane play, there'd be the you know,
pop in the jersey and high five and the chest
bumps and the ooh flex and just every play that
was like half.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The fun of being in sports, it seemed was the.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
After It's like, okay, yeah, I really dislike the trend.
But the kids didn't come up with this. Again, they're
imitating their heroes, you know what. I think this is
the sort of thing that works itself out if the
it reminds me of the great I wish, I wish
(07:23):
I was as good as like Tim Sanderfort, remembering sayings
and who said them. But the idea that if if
the people have the Constitution in their hearts, there's nothing
that can take the Constitution away. And if the people
don't have the Constitution in their hearts, there's no defense
of it. So if the people, the players, the coaches,
the fans are like, there's nothing wrong with flipping the bat,
(07:47):
the bat flipping will come and become, you know, semi permanent.
If if the consensus is now we don't like this
or it's unsafe.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Or whatever, it'll go away. Well now, let me sound
like old school nineties talk radio conservative. Oh god, we're
not going to take calls, aren't I. But there's no
doubt the whole show boating thing is a selfish act.
It's a hey, look at me, look at me, Look
(08:15):
at me, and as a whole, is society more selfish
now or less selfish now? Oh yeah, vastly more selfish,
more selfish?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And and.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Kids frequently when you ask them their greatest goals, they
say to be famous.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, even more than rich. They want to be famous,
and that this feeds into that tendency. I just think,
you know, it's such an enormous societal trend. I'm not
going to stop it through forbidding the bat flip, but
I could easily be convinced, no, there's no positives here
to have young kids flipping ball bats around.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It hits somebody in the head. Now drop the bat
and run to the base. Quick political thing before we
take a break. I found this funny. So the DNC,
the Democratic National Committee, is doing an autopsy on the
nast last election. This is what parties do after they
get their asses kicked. They do what they call an autopsy,
(09:22):
which seems like an overly grim term to use for
an assessment of why you.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I would say, given the state of the Democratic Party,
it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's dead. What did to die of? But this is
the funny part. Well, I was about to go off
on this tangent I'll do the tangent first before I
get to the funny part. The tangent being the most
famous political autopsy. I think the first time anybody ever
heard the term was after Mitt Romney lost in twenty twelve.
(09:53):
The Republican Party did an autopsy every single thing they
determined in the twenty twelve autopsy. Trump did the opposite
of and won two terms. So so much on the.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Notable example of the Republicans decided we need to go
softer on immigration, much softer, and not only did Trump
go in the opposite direction, but he won the Hispanic
vote in the way Republicans never have so nice autops.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Part of that is because parties and committees just want
to win the election. They don't care about actually satisfying voters.
If they can satisfy voters and to win election, that's
just that's fantastic, but right. But the DNC said off
limits to the autopsy. Autopsy is reviewing whether Biden should
have stepped down earlier or not, or whether Kamala Harris
(10:42):
was a good candidate.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
The one thing we're not going to consider is whether
those thirty two gunshot wounds played a role in the
patient's death. That's off limits. Looks a little sad to me.
Why don't he say he died because he was fat?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
How funny is that? I know, it's it's beyond funny,
it's bizarre. You can't even imagine what they're thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I mean, I get that that's not likely to happen again,
but it's like, you know, getting back to sports, if
you have a pretty damn good idea why you lost
a game or why something went wrong, you don't blow
everything up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Because you don't want to undo everything.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
That was right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Now, if, for instance, the Democratic Party and I do
not believe this, trust me was doing more or less
everything right, but Joe Biden's brain took a downturn, Kamala
seemed like the obvious choice. We're in a hurry, so
we went with her. It turns out she's a dud
as a candidate. I mean that that's clearly true. But
but to ignore that and say, let's just take a
(11:56):
part or examine everything else we're doing, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I don't get that. Why are you bothering? So Joe
was regaling us with an amazing story last hour about
pilots crashing planes on purpose, which seems to happen more
often than we thought big commercial airlines. I would have
thought that might happen once every fifty years, but it
happened a number of times in recent years around the world. Yeah,
(12:22):
and there's some talk about what we can do about that. Yeah. Yeah,
automated planes ought to be way easier than cars. I'm
gonna start walking in, you know, and you're walking in
the little doorway, and you're waiting for people to get
to the seats and the pilots saying, hey, hey, how's
it going. How you doing? You're having a good das
they are a bad day. How's your marriage? How's your career? No,
(12:42):
when I say how you doing? I really really want
to know in depth. Huh you and your wife still
getting along?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
If you were to describe life in say, two or
three words, what would those words be?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No kidding, Okay, we'll get to that coming up.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You really don't want to splitch your audience. You know,
you don't want to say I'm a Democrat or I'm
a Republican. You are all kinds of people come to
see you for form. I stayed silent for so long
it was killing me. I watched the border crash and burn.
I watched the economy crash and burn. I watched Trump's
family be compromised. I watched his business. I watched him
(13:24):
try to put him in jail.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I was silent and I hardly could hold my tongue.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And then when they took that shot at him and
tried to kill our leader, that was it for me.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Brother, that's the man who played the character of Hulk
Hogan in his real voice and attitude, clearly a conservative
and why he joined the whole let's get Trump elected crowd. Yeah,
and gave that surreal and electrifying speech at the convention.
That was quite a moment. Finally came across an article
in The New York Post that mentioned his lifelong steroid
(13:56):
use in contributing to his health problems, because seventy one
is not that old for a guy who's obviously into
physical fitness.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Right, Yeah, yeah, clearly, Yeah, that stole years from his life.
Interesting if you could talk to him in the afterlife,
I wonder what he would say about the bargain he struck.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I bet he was okay with it. It's one of
the most famous people in the world. That'd be a
pretty cool ride.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, but when your heart is skipping beats, you might think, well,
who knows, that's why he's Well, he's not here, we
can't ask him. So talked a little earlier about pilot's suicide,
essentially where they take the plane down with them.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I like call it mass murder. You did at one point.
Let's lean away from the suicide and toward that you're
a mass murderer, you scumbag, right, a suicidal mass murderer.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, I think both are worthy of mentioning. But anyway,
and how the third world countries including China feel like
they have to deny it, which was an interesting aspect
of this, whereas the Western democracies are like, no, that's
what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
A couple of notes. First of all, a friend of.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Mine who's knowledgeable about this stuff, says, it's usually the
systems or the processes that let the pilot down, not
the pilot's fault. He's talking about a book that claims
it's easy to blame it on the pilot instead of
digging much deeper into what actually caused the accident with
the systems. This editorialist I'm writing I'm reading over here says, actually,
(15:23):
frequently if the pilots would have gotten out of the
way and let the airplane do what it was supposed
to do. So he's saying, yes, it is pilot air
I am not an authority on this, but he gets
into it really interesting thought, which is the fact that
having a pilotless airplane in the style of a driverless car,
what are your autonomous car, whatever you want to call it,
(15:46):
it'd be way simpler with airplanes because the hazards and
complexity of driving along in traffic are way worse than
go along the runway, you know, accelerate, go aloft, hit
thirty thousand and feet then land in Omaha, there aren't
nearly the.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hazards to avoid. I think we got to end. There
could be active ground control when it was necessary. Oh true.
I think you're gonna have the same psychological problem, though,
it'll be interesting to see how we receive this, because
it's going to happen over the next couple of years.
I think there'll be cars out there driving on their own.
Occasionally they're going to make a mistake and kill people.
(16:28):
But so if if everybody was an automatic driving car,
but highway deads went from the current thirty five thousand
a year to five thousand a year. Would that be
would we all just celebrate the win? Or doesn't that
seem extra weird and awful? If a computer driving car
kills you.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
And they're going back to people driving, because this is
obviously not good picture loved one?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, horrible's that'd be your loved one dies in
a car that was being driven automatically. Doesn't that seem
sort of worse than if it was their error? I
don't know why.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I see what you're driving at and how difficult it
would to get people to trust it, especially if you
can surround a waym and make it stop. What the
unforeseen airplane you know, similar incident?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Is there? Well? Switching gears?
Speaker 7 (17:18):
I saw that Miller Light is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
by offering fifty thousand free beers at bars across the country.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh, people are running up to the bar.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Like, can I get a Budwise, don't have to be
fifty thousand Miller Lights, which is about the number you
need to feel anything.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Jimmy, just shots of light beers. Jimmy fallon a big
drinker with that one, because he's a no fairly big drinker.
So that's kind of a funny joke, you know, now
that you mentioned it, I had forgotten the given his
lifestyle I mentioned earlier. Today is the sixtieth anniversary of what.
The sixtieth anniversary it will featured a major oscar winning
(18:02):
a Hollywood film last year, Bob Dylan went electric sixty
years ago today to booze and craziness and mayhem and
left the stage after only three songs because the crowd
went berzerko.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I never thought about this too. I read the commentary
magazine piece about it. The the the important part about
that was not musically whatever, but the fact that he
broke with the hippies. He didn't give a crap. I
don't care about I'm not I'm not here to be
your hippie leader. That's not That's not what I'm doing.
You think it wasn't what I'm socialist is?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
One of the takeaways from the bio pic of recent
days too. Yeah, Pete Zieger, the banjo player and everybody
else wanted to be part of the hippie socialist movement,
and he just wasn't interested in that whole thing. Glad
you liked my songs and you're using him however you
want to use them. But I'm not into your hippie things.
Because if he had continued down, if he'd done like
a lot of artists do, and if this is what
the crowd wants, this is, I'm going to give him
(19:03):
more of it, that would have just made it even
more powerful and more annoying. Right, if any continuing down
that path, right break? I don't think he had the
capacity to do that. Honestly, No, he's not made that well, no,
definitely not. Yeah, so if you haven't seen that movie,
(19:23):
it's really good. What was the other thing I wanted
to mention? And I remember, I don't know. I want
the week to be over. Is there any chance we
can come back next week and the E word is
not part of the show. I suppose there's no chance
of that, right, I can tell you how.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
To end it, you mean for us or just just
now the Trump administration, because the FBI is the Justice
Department have already made detailed statements about it that no
further disclosure is appropriate. Sent set of information relating to
(20:01):
the victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific
details They go on in quite some you know, you
know specificity. Who is this writing doesn't matter, says If
miss Bondi and mister Patel are now telling the truth
about the contents of the Epstein files, then what's needed
are officials who will take the responsibility then take the
heat for declining to publish documents that could hurt victims
(20:24):
and ruin reputations.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Without a criminal case.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
They point out, a Bill Barr type, wouldn't it given
a crap what the angry mob thought.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He just said, no, we can't do this.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
And these are the reasons why the problem is that
Bondi and Cash Pattel are to some extent a creation
of the very crowd that's now yelling about the Epstein thing.
And they fed into that creation too by egging on
the crowd. So they're the wrong people to say, look,
I know you don't like it, but this is the
(20:57):
right thing and that's what we're doing some but he
needs to say that and say exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Why Dylan only played three songs? What were the three songs?
If you've seen the movie, you know he played Maggie's Farm,
he played like at a da Vida, He played like
a Rolling Stone, which is my son's favorite song, and
He played an early version of it takes a lot
to laugh, It takes a train to cry, which is
(21:22):
an awesome tune. I just want to be your lover, baby,
I don't want to be your boss. Heard that? Why
do you think? Mark Halpern, in his newscast today, I'm
going to watch it later said this is the most
the biggest vulnerability Trump has ever had in his presidency,
(21:43):
in his political life. Thesteis I suspect slash predict and
I would love to follow up with you over the weekend.
That it is because he will lose the incredibly energetic
popular support that has fueled the whole tree from a machine.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
That he will actually have shot somebody on Fifth Avenue
to paraphrase Trump himself, but the base will say no,
not cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, he shot somebody to maga hat on Fifth Street,
which is different. Get out of my way and shut
him down. Yeah, that fits in with So today's Wall
Street Journal poll that's out and that's one of your
respected polling organizations. They have Trump a little higher than
a couple of big polls have had him in the
last week. They have him at forty six percent, forty
(22:33):
six percent job approval rating and as they point out,
that's with a number of his policies not that popular
right now. This is Obama like where Obama's policies would
pull fairly low, but his personal approof rating would be
pretty high, even though by the way, Trump at forty six.
Obama was at forty at this point in his presidency.
(22:55):
He ended higher, but he was at forty at this point. Well,
Trump is at forty six. Yeah, I was gonna say
forty six pretty healthy. Yeah, heck yeah, heck yeah, you'd
take that any day. But as they point out, he's
got an almost ninety percent of Republican voters approving of
the performance. Historically, that doesn't happen even Ronald Reagan was
in the seventies. We didn't. We just didn't used to
(23:18):
be this way. So Trump, to your point about the
Epstein thing, at ninety percent of the Republican voters, if
a whole bunch of those are super hardcore mega and
they believed, you know, the story about Epstein being one
of the goals of the second Trump administration, and they
feel like fu I could.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Drop off quite a bit pretty fast. Yeah, that's the
that's my only guess what Halford's talking about. Because in
terms of actual political significance, there.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Isn't no, there's zero political significance. I mean from a
real policy standpoint or affecting people's lives, yeah standpoint. Yeah
A speaking of which, and I'll keep.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
This short, but I still think speaking of popularity, in
spite of the unpopularity of of policies, the tariff thing
has yet to actually land, and when it does.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Popular of the ones that they pull, but all exact right,
don't think I hung up hung onto that one. That
one's really unpopular. Let me dig that up real quick
while you're taking Yeah, just let me know when you
have that.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
But and this is this is worth listening to Trump's
various trade wars thing and then individual deals with individual
countries and blah blah blah. Trump trying to discourage auto
parts for American cars being built in Mexico and Canada,
imposed a twenty five percent tariff on autos and parts. Okay,
(24:42):
he just came to a trade deal with the Japanese.
They will pay a tariff of fifteen percent. So, because
American auto plants rely heavily on parts from Canada and Mexico,
the tariffs on American made American cars could be higher
than on Japanese imports and European cars depending on what
(25:04):
has worked out there. We would have higher tariffs on
American made cars than Japanese cars because we tend to
have parts factories on the other sides of the border.
What does an American made car mean, Joe? In that case,
it's a reasonable question. But the UAW is freaking out
and they are pissed, as they should be. This is
(25:25):
not what Sean Fain was open for when he threw
his lot in with Trump by not endorsing Biden.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
That's interesting. Yeah, Trump say upside down seventeen points on tariffs,
and that's as you say before they've really hit Yeah,
it's also pretty chaotic. What are people even upset about.
It's got to be the feeling that I'm not sure
this is going to work out? Well, what if it
actually doesn't work out? Like you've got the proof in
front of you. I'll give you the crazy short version
(25:57):
of this.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Peggy Noon and Brilliant that had article about Trump and
what makes him tick, and I think she's absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And again this is the crazy short version of it.
Is he just loves being in a fight.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
He likes to fight guy, as radio host Jim Rome
used to talk about the guy who likes to go
out to the bars and he wants to get in
a fight. Trump loves conflict and particularly and that explains
a lot of what he does and a lot of
who he is. And like the tariff thing, he's not
(26:35):
worried that it's probably damaging or too chaotic, or doing
more harm than it's worth with it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Like our closest friends, he just loves being in a scrape.
The Big Beautiful Bill does not pull particularly well. I
don't know if that matters at all. Do you call
it a legislative achievement if it doesn't pull very well
like right after it happened, although Obamacare pulled horribly for
a long time and then became just everybody got used
(27:05):
to it and now polls fairly well.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
When you combine the complexity of the bill, the Big
Beautiful Bill, and the misreporting of it, and the misperceptions
people have of what was in it, oh well, and
the enormousness of it, I don't know a tenth of
what's in it.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's difficult for me to answer that question. I don't
know what to make of any of it. I don't
remember which. One of my favorite reporters said this was
when the right, when they were voting on it, said
you could walk through halls of Congress and you'd be
lucky if you found anybody that could name five things
that are in the bill. If the people who voted
for it don't know didn't know what was in it,
what's the average human being across America be able to
(27:45):
tell you about the big beautiful bill. The only thing
I could really tell you is that the Trump tax
cuts from twenty seventeen continued. I don't know if I
got much else than that they were all back some
of the Green New Deal stuff. They kicked some people
off Medicaid kinda.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Well in professional politicos would tell you none of that
crap matters that you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The Only thing that matters is the perception in the
poll numbers.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
That's how we make our living, That's how we get
people to vote, and that's how we get power.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So I don't care what was in it.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If it was the worst steaming pile of excrement ever
generated by any legislative body in the history of mankind,
but it polled, well.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's a win. Sure, it's a legislative achievement. Isn't that nice?
Well that's a good Friday story. Well, democracy doesn't work, clearly,
We'll finish strong. Next.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
The grandmother and army veteran restraining a woman allegedly trying
to storm the cock that had happened on the Delta
flight from Atlanta to Tucson. It happened about twenty minutes
into the flight. The pilot were turning to Atlanta where
authorities were waiting.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, okayse she was a grandmother who restrained out of
control passenger, which is a nice But was she like
thirty five? I VISI on those kind of grandmas. I mean,
cause you're kind of implying that she was old, but
she's right. I'm guessing she wasn't as old as the
normal grandmother. I think she was younger. By the way,
we have a clip of the woman that I pulled yesterday.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Okay, she didn't want to be on the plane anymore,
she said God told her to do it. She had
a call in and I'm just like, wait a minute,
I don't know about this conversation you got going on,
but not today. Nobody else was doing nothing, so I
just literally knew I had to do something. I got
to make it home to my kids, my children, you,
my grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah cool, not today, and nobody else is doing anything,
so I guess I will where to go, sister, Yeah,
I got to be done. Was I having a conversation
with some of the other day, a woman who was
around fifty about how fifty year olds are so much
different than fifty year olds years ago, using the example
of Aunt B from the Andy Griffith Show, was like
(29:51):
fifty four. I mean that was the age she said,
is the character? So so there's plenty of women that
aren't looking like Aunt Be at that age anyway, right, Yeah, Katie,
this grandmother is a whopping twenty six years old. Twenty
six year old grandmother.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
That's almost number one. Where does David mu Or get
off describing her as a grandmother?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
That's weak? So two thirteen year old had babies? If
the math is mathing on the average jack yet, Yeah,
thank you, thank you for verifying my difficult math complexity there. Yes,
we've checked the figures. But yeah, okay, come on, David,
that was the truth that tells a lie. You were
(30:39):
factually truth but true, But that was a lie, and
you know it was a lie. Come on, yeah, she's
twenty six. A twenty six year old woman restrained somebody
on a plane is not as good as story. It's
still kind of interesting. You couldn't even gone twenty twenty
six year old army veteran, that's fine. But grandma, grandmother,
(31:00):
punk da, that's funny. In my mind, there's like a
shawl and the little glasses down on the nose. Throw
a few young people, help rescue this flight. Beating him
with a cane riding exact play. Six freaking years old.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
She you know, by modern standards, I had my kids
fairly young. I was a year older than her when
we had our first kid, right, and she's a grandma
at this point. All right, that's that's probably.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Push over to the ground with your walker and you
get your big black orthopedic shoes. You're stomping on their faces.
Stop doing that. Sitting here with an old timey burse
throwing hard candy at her, throw hard candy at him.
Her dentures fly out in the midst of it all.
Twenty six you say, I'll give it to you like
(31:51):
he gave it to the Kaiser and w W one
she's not even thirty, threw her soup on the guy,
David Muir, you lying professional, liar bastards. I haven't been
go ahead, sorry about little under a minute.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay, I was gonna say, I haven't gone real heavy
on the whole reforming the university's thing lately.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
A couple of good signs. Columbia University, who was among
the worst of the worst, actually disciplined at least seventy
of the students who took part in that library takeover.
I hope they voted a lot of them out of school?
Did they put them completely? And I saw suspended suspended
was that well?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And Columbia has a history of reversing certain sanctions against schools.
So my point was going to be, yeah, let's keep
an eye on this, because those scheming Marxists the first
thing they do is say absolutely yes, we've we've suspended everybody.
We've kicked fifteen people out, and.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
As soon as the cameras go away, they reinstate all
of them.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
I will also say this George Mason University, which I
would only be paying attention to because one of my
kids went there, and it's actually the biggest university in
the University of Virginia system. Their Marxist president is finally
coming under fire for still doing DEI stuff, inflaming violation
of federal law. Progress is being made, my friends. Let's
(33:22):
keep up the good fight.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Hey, how about a final thought from everybody on the
crew to wrap things up for the week. There he is,
Michael Angelo, pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, yesterday I tried to rip a T shirt like
Haul Cogan, you know, and I felt something pop in
my back and so it didn't go real well, the
shirt had stayed and yeah, not good.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Oh how lovely to have our esteemed news woman Katie
Green back with us. Katie final thought, It.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Is so good to be back, and IVF is not
for the week. Maybe I'll do one more thing you
guys about it?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Okay, okay, let's sat on that Monday. It sounds very interesting. Yeah,
I love it, terrific, Jackie.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Final thought for us, Big grandmother and Army veteran restraining
a try the story.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Are you proud of yourself? That's good? My goal. Seriously,
how do you consider yourself a journalist? You put that
in your thirty minute newscast? You lying up? Oh, I
have no respect for you. So Katie, you'll totally get
this high five.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I was thinking about what I could do with the
rest of my day, and I thought I could go
to the gym and instead of a two.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
But crap. My emotional response is, oh, that would be cool. Yeah,
I think I've turned a corner. Oh, I've got the habit.
That's it. Yeah, if you can make it a habit,
I feel bad if I can't get to the gym.
That's opposed to the other way around. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
If I have a day that I don't do something exercisey,
it weirds me out with it.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
It's that I'm better than anybody folks. Trust me, as
Jack taught me. Habits are hard to break. Good ones too.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
A grandmother, an army veteran armstrong in Getty wrapping up
another grueling four hour workday. So many people, thanks so
little time.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Good Armstrong in getty dot com for the hotlings, for
Katie's corner.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
For the swag. How about an amng T shirt or
hat or hoodie? For your favorite a g FN. Maybe
it's you.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Helps keep everybody on the hey roll. And if you
see something over the weekend we really ought to be
talking about, email it to us.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Which it? Please mail bag at Armstrong e geeddy dot com. Well,
the Epstein scandal please go away before Monday. We will
see you then. God bless America. Do you want to
thank you? Listening to the armstrong S. Jack and Jo
(35:50):

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Monday with Kane and Lady and Michael Angel from the
Epstein drama of Immigration even though he don't will have it.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
That you.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
That's Monday on the Armstrong I'm Getty Show, The Armstrong
and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and get.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Cake and he.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Armstrong and Getty an important youth sports question. We'll let
Joe Getty be the judge coming up? Do I have to.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
You could just say eh, I don't know. It doesn't
sound very entertaining. I see your point. I will be
the judge.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
A lot of good stuff to squeeze into the final
hour of the week. But first, it's the Friday tradition.
Take a fun look back at the week that was.
It's cow clips of the week, Clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Today.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
We have breaking news as we come on the air.
Ozzy Osbourne has died.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Scottish Shup has his Open championship, so please you well again.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
We hope it gets a little bit more competitive because
like a girl.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Trip to Cancun. Right now, there's no dame. Would an
untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism.
I still think about Kamala. I had to come back
for the insurance because I'm they informed me earlier this year.
I'm on Cobra, I'm as I am. There's someone that's
(01:46):
been so focused on trying to understand all of that.
Can a man become a woman? Can a man become
a woman?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Not?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Convicting killer Brian Coberger forced to face the families of
his victims and a survivor.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
He chows destruction, he chows evil.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
In my view, the time has now calm to end
mister Colberger's fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
You may received a's in high school and college, but
you're going to be getting big d's in prison.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people.
President Obama and his leadership team effectively launch a year's
long coup against the sitting president of the United States.
If you want to take a look at that and
stop talking about nonsense.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Attorney General Pambondi told President Trump that his name appears
multiple times of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Some Democrats are joining Republicans in Congress demanding the files
be released.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
People ask me what's going to cost me politically, I say, well,
share it is. How do you get correct? It's everywhere?
Mainly for that reason, I learned how to make my
own I know exactly what happened in that debate, she's
tired of give him ambient to be able to sleep. You,
how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you got food on your table? The
(03:13):
crack is whack.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
It?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, a couple of quick things before Joe's hot take
on youth sports one, and I'm not going to talk
about Epstein anymore today. Nobody can make me other than
what I'm about to say. Mark Halprin put out a
video today which I will watch. He says in my
reported monologue, I break down why the Trump Epstein scandal
might be the most politically dangerous controversy Trump has ever faced. Well,
(03:59):
I want to hear him explain that because I don't
get it, So stay tuned for that. I saw this yesterday.
I didn't listen Hulk Hogan's cardiac arrest nine to one
one dispatch audio came out. I hate that sort of thing.
I understand why transparency is good with government agencies, but
(04:20):
that's not the way it's used. It's used for celebrities
and just yeah, I get it. It's it's a public
record and we're the public. But it's distasteful. Yeah, not cool. Okay,
this so a they're in the Little League World Series time.
I guess the little kids playing little kids kid hit
(04:42):
a home run the other day, flipped a bat, got suspended,
and that's I guess that's become a problem nationwide, not
just this one kid who they reinstated, which I think
might be just because he's such a good player and
they need which happens also at all levels of sport.
But what do you think about bat flipping for kids?
(05:03):
Because in Japan, for instance, you hit a home run,
you flipped the bat. It's kind of an art form
and people love it. Nature and the United States we've
frowned upon it for many, many years. It's seen it
as showboating, although it seems kind of crazy the way
all sports are now that we have any limits on showboating, Yeah,
I would agree.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I've got to get over my learned and long held
belief in not showboating because I was brought up to
not do that.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I hated people who did that.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I thought it was dumb, unnecessarily like look at me,
look at me, look at me. You just hit a
home run. Everybody is looking at you. You don't have
to do a dance. So my personal distaste for it.
I will put aside because I am like that little
solomonic in my wisdom.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And you're also old that too.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You could make a safety argument because the rules of
baseball make it very clear you have one option with
your bat, that is to drop it, to have it
no longer be in your hand as quickly as possible
before you run to first base, before.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You do anything right, So you could make that argue.
I get that, But the controversy is mostly around we
want the show voting or not. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell
you when my son was playing youth football, because it's
just it's just the zeitgeist. It's not good. I don't
like it, but I don't see how you're gonna stop
it because the pros do it, and the kids watch
the pros, and it's a TV show, a for profit
(06:36):
TV show, and the TV show is better when they
show boat.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It just is.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I mean, it just is. But all the kids, young kids.
My son was what was he ten at the time.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Every play, every mundane play, there'd be the you know,
pop in the jersey and high five and the chest
bumps and the ooh flex and just every play that
was like half.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The fun of being in sports, it seemed was the.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
After It's like, okay, yeah, I really dislike the trend.
But the kids didn't come up with this. Again, they're
imitating their heroes, you know what. I think this is
the sort of thing that works itself out if the
it reminds me of the great I wish, I wish
(07:23):
I was as good as like Tim Sanderfort, remembering sayings
and who said them. But the idea that if if
the people have the Constitution in their hearts, there's nothing
that can take the Constitution away. And if the people
don't have the Constitution in their hearts, there's no defense
of it. So if the people, the players, the coaches,
the fans are like, there's nothing wrong with flipping the bat,
(07:47):
the bat flipping will come and become, you know, semi permanent.
If if the consensus is now we don't like this
or it's unsafe.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Or whatever, it'll go away. Well now, let me sound
like old school nineties talk radio conservative. Oh god, we're
not going to take calls, aren't I. But there's no
doubt the whole show boating thing is a selfish act.
It's a hey, look at me, look at me, Look
(08:15):
at me, and as a whole, is society more selfish
now or less selfish now? Oh yeah, vastly more selfish,
more selfish?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And and.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Kids frequently when you ask them their greatest goals, they
say to be famous.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, even more than rich. They want to be famous,
and that this feeds into that tendency. I just think,
you know, it's such an enormous societal trend. I'm not
going to stop it through forbidding the bat flip, but
I could easily be convinced, no, there's no positives here
to have young kids flipping ball bats around.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It hits somebody in the head. Now drop the bat
and run to the base. Quick political thing before we
take a break. I found this funny. So the DNC,
the Democratic National Committee, is doing an autopsy on the
nast last election. This is what parties do after they
get their asses kicked. They do what they call an autopsy,
(09:22):
which seems like an overly grim term to use for
an assessment of why you.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I would say, given the state of the Democratic Party,
it's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's dead. What did to die of? But this is
the funny part. Well, I was about to go off
on this tangent I'll do the tangent first before I
get to the funny part. The tangent being the most
famous political autopsy. I think the first time anybody ever
heard the term was after Mitt Romney lost in twenty twelve.
(09:53):
The Republican Party did an autopsy every single thing they
determined in the twenty twelve autopsy. Trump did the opposite
of and won two terms. So so much on the.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Notable example of the Republicans decided we need to go
softer on immigration, much softer, and not only did Trump
go in the opposite direction, but he won the Hispanic
vote in the way Republicans never have so nice autops.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Part of that is because parties and committees just want
to win the election. They don't care about actually satisfying voters.
If they can satisfy voters and to win election, that's
just that's fantastic, but right. But the DNC said off
limits to the autopsy. Autopsy is reviewing whether Biden should
have stepped down earlier or not, or whether Kamala Harris
(10:42):
was a good candidate.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
The one thing we're not going to consider is whether
those thirty two gunshot wounds played a role in the
patient's death. That's off limits. Looks a little sad to me.
Why don't he say he died because he was fat?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
How funny is that? I know, it's it's beyond funny,
it's bizarre. You can't even imagine what they're thinking.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I mean, I get that that's not likely to happen again,
but it's like, you know, getting back to sports, if
you have a pretty damn good idea why you lost
a game or why something went wrong, you don't blow
everything up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Because you don't want to undo everything.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
That was right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Now, if, for instance, the Democratic Party and I do
not believe this, trust me was doing more or less
everything right, but Joe Biden's brain took a downturn, Kamala
seemed like the obvious choice. We're in a hurry, so
we went with her. It turns out she's a dud
as a candidate. I mean that that's clearly true. But
but to ignore that and say, let's just take a
(11:56):
part or examine everything else we're doing, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I don't get that. Why are you bothering? So Joe
was regaling us with an amazing story last hour about
pilots crashing planes on purpose, which seems to happen more
often than we thought big commercial airlines. I would have
thought that might happen once every fifty years, but it
happened a number of times in recent years around the world. Yeah,
(12:22):
and there's some talk about what we can do about that. Yeah. Yeah,
automated planes ought to be way easier than cars. I'm
gonna start walking in, you know, and you're walking in
the little doorway, and you're waiting for people to get
to the seats and the pilots saying, hey, hey, how's
it going. How you doing? You're having a good das
they are a bad day. How's your marriage? How's your career? No,
(12:42):
when I say how you doing? I really really want
to know in depth. Huh you and your wife still
getting along?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
If you were to describe life in say, two or
three words, what would those words be?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No kidding, Okay, we'll get to that coming up.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
You really don't want to splitch your audience. You know,
you don't want to say I'm a Democrat or I'm
a Republican. You are all kinds of people come to
see you for form. I stayed silent for so long
it was killing me. I watched the border crash and burn.
I watched the economy crash and burn. I watched Trump's
family be compromised. I watched his business. I watched him
(13:24):
try to put him in jail.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I was silent and I hardly could hold my tongue.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
And then when they took that shot at him and
tried to kill our leader, that was it for me.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Brother, that's the man who played the character of Hulk
Hogan in his real voice and attitude, clearly a conservative
and why he joined the whole let's get Trump elected crowd. Yeah,
and gave that surreal and electrifying speech at the convention.
That was quite a moment. Finally came across an article
in The New York Post that mentioned his lifelong steroid
(13:56):
use in contributing to his health problems, because seventy one
is not that old for a guy who's obviously into
physical fitness.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Right, Yeah, yeah, clearly, Yeah, that stole years from his life.
Interesting if you could talk to him in the afterlife,
I wonder what he would say about the bargain he struck.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I bet he was okay with it. It's one of
the most famous people in the world. That'd be a
pretty cool ride.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah, but when your heart is skipping beats, you might think, well,
who knows, that's why he's Well, he's not here, we
can't ask him. So talked a little earlier about pilot's suicide,
essentially where they take the plane down with them.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I like call it mass murder. You did at one point.
Let's lean away from the suicide and toward that you're
a mass murderer, you scumbag, right, a suicidal mass murderer.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, I think both are worthy of mentioning. But anyway,
and how the third world countries including China feel like
they have to deny it, which was an interesting aspect
of this, whereas the Western democracies are like, no, that's
what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
A couple of notes. First of all, a friend of.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Mine who's knowledgeable about this stuff, says, it's usually the
systems or the processes that let the pilot down, not
the pilot's fault. He's talking about a book that claims
it's easy to blame it on the pilot instead of
digging much deeper into what actually caused the accident with
the systems. This editorialist I'm writing I'm reading over here says, actually,
(15:23):
frequently if the pilots would have gotten out of the
way and let the airplane do what it was supposed
to do. So he's saying, yes, it is pilot air
I am not an authority on this, but he gets
into it really interesting thought, which is the fact that
having a pilotless airplane in the style of a driverless car,
what are your autonomous car, whatever you want to call it,
(15:46):
it'd be way simpler with airplanes because the hazards and
complexity of driving along in traffic are way worse than
go along the runway, you know, accelerate, go aloft, hit
thirty thousand and feet then land in Omaha, there aren't
nearly the.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hazards to avoid. I think we got to end. There
could be active ground control when it was necessary. Oh true.
I think you're gonna have the same psychological problem, though,
it'll be interesting to see how we receive this, because
it's going to happen over the next couple of years.
I think there'll be cars out there driving on their own.
Occasionally they're going to make a mistake and kill people.
(16:28):
But so if if everybody was an automatic driving car,
but highway deads went from the current thirty five thousand
a year to five thousand a year. Would that be
would we all just celebrate the win? Or doesn't that
seem extra weird and awful? If a computer driving car
kills you.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
And they're going back to people driving, because this is
obviously not good picture loved one?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
You know, horrible's that'd be your loved one dies in
a car that was being driven automatically. Doesn't that seem
sort of worse than if it was their error? I
don't know why.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I see what you're driving at and how difficult it
would to get people to trust it, especially if you
can surround a waym and make it stop. What the
unforeseen airplane you know, similar incident?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Is there? Well? Switching gears?
Speaker 7 (17:18):
I saw that Miller Light is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary
by offering fifty thousand free beers at bars across the country.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh, people are running up to the bar.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Like, can I get a Budwise, don't have to be
fifty thousand Miller Lights, which is about the number you
need to feel anything.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Jimmy, just shots of light beers. Jimmy fallon a big
drinker with that one, because he's a no fairly big drinker.
So that's kind of a funny joke, you know, now
that you mentioned it, I had forgotten the given his
lifestyle I mentioned earlier. Today is the sixtieth anniversary of what.
The sixtieth anniversary it will featured a major oscar winning
(18:02):
a Hollywood film last year, Bob Dylan went electric sixty
years ago today to booze and craziness and mayhem and
left the stage after only three songs because the crowd
went berzerko.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I never thought about this too. I read the commentary
magazine piece about it. The the the important part about
that was not musically whatever, but the fact that he
broke with the hippies. He didn't give a crap. I
don't care about I'm not I'm not here to be
your hippie leader. That's not That's not what I'm doing.
You think it wasn't what I'm socialist is?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
One of the takeaways from the bio pic of recent
days too. Yeah, Pete Zieger, the banjo player and everybody
else wanted to be part of the hippie socialist movement,
and he just wasn't interested in that whole thing. Glad
you liked my songs and you're using him however you
want to use them. But I'm not into your hippie things.
Because if he had continued down, if he'd done like
a lot of artists do, and if this is what
the crowd wants, this is, I'm going to give him
(19:03):
more of it, that would have just made it even
more powerful and more annoying. Right, if any continuing down
that path, right break? I don't think he had the
capacity to do that. Honestly, No, he's not made that well, no,
definitely not. Yeah, so if you haven't seen that movie,
(19:23):
it's really good. What was the other thing I wanted
to mention? And I remember, I don't know. I want
the week to be over. Is there any chance we
can come back next week and the E word is
not part of the show. I suppose there's no chance
of that, right, I can tell you how.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
To end it, you mean for us or just just
now the Trump administration, because the FBI is the Justice
Department have already made detailed statements about it that no
further disclosure is appropriate. Sent set of information relating to
(20:01):
the victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific
details They go on in quite some you know, you
know specificity. Who is this writing doesn't matter, says If
miss Bondi and mister Patel are now telling the truth
about the contents of the Epstein files, then what's needed
are officials who will take the responsibility then take the
heat for declining to publish documents that could hurt victims
(20:24):
and ruin reputations.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Without a criminal case.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
They point out, a Bill Barr type, wouldn't it given
a crap what the angry mob thought.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He just said, no, we can't do this.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
And these are the reasons why the problem is that
Bondi and Cash Pattel are to some extent a creation
of the very crowd that's now yelling about the Epstein thing.
And they fed into that creation too by egging on
the crowd. So they're the wrong people to say, look,
I know you don't like it, but this is the
(20:57):
right thing and that's what we're doing some but he
needs to say that and say exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Why Dylan only played three songs? What were the three songs?
If you've seen the movie, you know he played Maggie's Farm,
he played like at a da Vida, He played like
a Rolling Stone, which is my son's favorite song, and
He played an early version of it takes a lot
to laugh, It takes a train to cry, which is
(21:22):
an awesome tune. I just want to be your lover, baby,
I don't want to be your boss. Heard that? Why
do you think? Mark Halpern, in his newscast today, I'm
going to watch it later said this is the most
the biggest vulnerability Trump has ever had in his presidency,
(21:43):
in his political life. Thesteis I suspect slash predict and
I would love to follow up with you over the weekend.
That it is because he will lose the incredibly energetic
popular support that has fueled the whole tree from a machine.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
That he will actually have shot somebody on Fifth Avenue
to paraphrase Trump himself, but the base will say no,
not cool.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, he shot somebody to maga hat on Fifth Street,
which is different. Get out of my way and shut
him down. Yeah, that fits in with So today's Wall
Street Journal poll that's out and that's one of your
respected polling organizations. They have Trump a little higher than
a couple of big polls have had him in the
last week. They have him at forty six percent, forty
(22:33):
six percent job approval rating and as they point out,
that's with a number of his policies not that popular
right now. This is Obama like where Obama's policies would
pull fairly low, but his personal approof rating would be
pretty high, even though by the way, Trump at forty six.
Obama was at forty at this point in his presidency.
(22:55):
He ended higher, but he was at forty at this point. Well,
Trump is at forty six. Yeah, I was gonna say
forty six pretty healthy. Yeah, heck yeah, heck yeah, you'd
take that any day. But as they point out, he's
got an almost ninety percent of Republican voters approving of
the performance. Historically, that doesn't happen even Ronald Reagan was
in the seventies. We didn't. We just didn't used to
(23:18):
be this way. So Trump, to your point about the
Epstein thing, at ninety percent of the Republican voters, if
a whole bunch of those are super hardcore mega and
they believed, you know, the story about Epstein being one
of the goals of the second Trump administration, and they
feel like fu I could.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Drop off quite a bit pretty fast. Yeah, that's the
that's my only guess what Halford's talking about. Because in
terms of actual political significance, there.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Isn't no, there's zero political significance. I mean from a
real policy standpoint or affecting people's lives, yeah standpoint. Yeah
A speaking of which, and I'll keep.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
This short, but I still think speaking of popularity, in
spite of the unpopularity of of policies, the tariff thing
has yet to actually land, and when it does.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Popular of the ones that they pull, but all exact right,
don't think I hung up hung onto that one. That
one's really unpopular. Let me dig that up real quick
while you're taking Yeah, just let me know when you
have that.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
But and this is this is worth listening to Trump's
various trade wars thing and then individual deals with individual
countries and blah blah blah. Trump trying to discourage auto
parts for American cars being built in Mexico and Canada,
imposed a twenty five percent tariff on autos and parts. Okay,
(24:42):
he just came to a trade deal with the Japanese.
They will pay a tariff of fifteen percent. So, because
American auto plants rely heavily on parts from Canada and Mexico,
the tariffs on American made American cars could be higher
than on Japanese imports and European cars depending on what
(25:04):
has worked out there. We would have higher tariffs on
American made cars than Japanese cars because we tend to
have parts factories on the other sides of the border.
What does an American made car mean, Joe? In that case,
it's a reasonable question. But the UAW is freaking out
and they are pissed, as they should be. This is
(25:25):
not what Sean Fain was open for when he threw
his lot in with Trump by not endorsing Biden.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
That's interesting. Yeah, Trump say upside down seventeen points on tariffs,
and that's as you say before they've really hit Yeah,
it's also pretty chaotic. What are people even upset about.
It's got to be the feeling that I'm not sure
this is going to work out? Well, what if it
actually doesn't work out? Like you've got the proof in
front of you. I'll give you the crazy short version
(25:57):
of this.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Peggy Noon and Brilliant that had article about Trump and
what makes him tick, and I think she's absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And again this is the crazy short version of it.
Is he just loves being in a fight.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
He likes to fight guy, as radio host Jim Rome
used to talk about the guy who likes to go
out to the bars and he wants to get in
a fight. Trump loves conflict and particularly and that explains
a lot of what he does and a lot of
who he is. And like the tariff thing, he's not
(26:35):
worried that it's probably damaging or too chaotic, or doing
more harm than it's worth with it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Like our closest friends, he just loves being in a scrape.
The Big Beautiful Bill does not pull particularly well. I
don't know if that matters at all. Do you call
it a legislative achievement if it doesn't pull very well
like right after it happened, although Obamacare pulled horribly for
a long time and then became just everybody got used
(27:05):
to it and now polls fairly well.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
When you combine the complexity of the bill, the Big
Beautiful Bill, and the misreporting of it, and the misperceptions
people have of what was in it, oh well, and
the enormousness of it, I don't know a tenth of
what's in it.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It's difficult for me to answer that question. I don't
know what to make of any of it. I don't
remember which. One of my favorite reporters said this was
when the right, when they were voting on it, said
you could walk through halls of Congress and you'd be
lucky if you found anybody that could name five things
that are in the bill. If the people who voted
for it don't know didn't know what was in it,
what's the average human being across America be able to
(27:45):
tell you about the big beautiful bill. The only thing
I could really tell you is that the Trump tax
cuts from twenty seventeen continued. I don't know if I
got much else than that they were all back some
of the Green New Deal stuff. They kicked some people
off Medicaid kinda.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Well in professional politicos would tell you none of that
crap matters that you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The Only thing that matters is the perception in the
poll numbers.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
That's how we make our living, That's how we get
people to vote, and that's how we get power.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
So I don't care what was in it.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If it was the worst steaming pile of excrement ever
generated by any legislative body in the history of mankind,
but it polled, well.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's a win. Sure, it's a legislative achievement. Isn't that nice?
Well that's a good Friday story. Well, democracy doesn't work, clearly,
We'll finish strong. Next.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
The grandmother and army veteran restraining a woman allegedly trying
to storm the cock that had happened on the Delta
flight from Atlanta to Tucson. It happened about twenty minutes
into the flight. The pilot were turning to Atlanta where
authorities were waiting.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, okayse she was a grandmother who restrained out of
control passenger, which is a nice But was she like
thirty five? I VISI on those kind of grandmas. I mean,
cause you're kind of implying that she was old, but
she's right. I'm guessing she wasn't as old as the
normal grandmother. I think she was younger. By the way,
we have a clip of the woman that I pulled yesterday.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Okay, she didn't want to be on the plane anymore,
she said God told her to do it. She had
a call in and I'm just like, wait a minute,
I don't know about this conversation you got going on,
but not today. Nobody else was doing nothing, so I
just literally knew I had to do something. I got
to make it home to my kids, my children, you,
my grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah cool, not today, and nobody else is doing anything,
so I guess I will where to go, sister, Yeah,
I got to be done. Was I having a conversation
with some of the other day, a woman who was
around fifty about how fifty year olds are so much
different than fifty year olds years ago, using the example
of Aunt B from the Andy Griffith Show, was like
(29:51):
fifty four. I mean that was the age she said,
is the character? So so there's plenty of women that
aren't looking like Aunt Be at that age anyway, right, Yeah, Katie,
this grandmother is a whopping twenty six years old. Twenty
six year old grandmother.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
That's almost number one. Where does David mu Or get
off describing her as a grandmother?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
That's weak? So two thirteen year old had babies? If
the math is mathing on the average jack yet, Yeah,
thank you, thank you for verifying my difficult math complexity there. Yes,
we've checked the figures. But yeah, okay, come on, David,
that was the truth that tells a lie. You were
(30:39):
factually truth but true, But that was a lie, and
you know it was a lie. Come on, yeah, she's
twenty six. A twenty six year old woman restrained somebody
on a plane is not as good as story. It's
still kind of interesting. You couldn't even gone twenty twenty
six year old army veteran, that's fine. But grandma, grandmother,
(31:00):
punk da, that's funny. In my mind, there's like a
shawl and the little glasses down on the nose. Throw
a few young people, help rescue this flight. Beating him
with a cane riding exact play. Six freaking years old.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
She you know, by modern standards, I had my kids
fairly young. I was a year older than her when
we had our first kid, right, and she's a grandma
at this point. All right, that's that's probably.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Push over to the ground with your walker and you
get your big black orthopedic shoes. You're stomping on their faces.
Stop doing that. Sitting here with an old timey burse
throwing hard candy at her, throw hard candy at him.
Her dentures fly out in the midst of it all.
Twenty six you say, I'll give it to you like
(31:51):
he gave it to the Kaiser and w W one
she's not even thirty, threw her soup on the guy,
David Muir, you lying professional, liar bastards. I haven't been
go ahead, sorry about little under a minute.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Okay, I was gonna say, I haven't gone real heavy
on the whole reforming the university's thing lately.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
A couple of good signs. Columbia University, who was among
the worst of the worst, actually disciplined at least seventy
of the students who took part in that library takeover.
I hope they voted a lot of them out of school?
Did they put them completely? And I saw suspended suspended
was that well?
Speaker 4 (32:37):
And Columbia has a history of reversing certain sanctions against schools.
So my point was going to be, yeah, let's keep
an eye on this, because those scheming Marxists the first
thing they do is say absolutely yes, we've we've suspended everybody.
We've kicked fifteen people out, and.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
As soon as the cameras go away, they reinstate all
of them.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
I will also say this George Mason University, which I
would only be paying attention to because one of my
kids went there, and it's actually the biggest university in
the University of Virginia system. Their Marxist president is finally
coming under fire for still doing DEI stuff, inflaming violation
of federal law. Progress is being made, my friends. Let's
(33:22):
keep up the good fight.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Hey, how about a final thought from everybody on the
crew to wrap things up for the week. There he is,
Michael Angelo, pressing the buttons. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, yesterday I tried to rip a T shirt like
Haul Cogan, you know, and I felt something pop in
my back and so it didn't go real well, the
shirt had stayed and yeah, not good.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Oh how lovely to have our esteemed news woman Katie
Green back with us. Katie final thought, It.

have no respect for you. So Katie, you'll totally get
this high five.
Speaker 6 (34:28):

Speaker 4 (34:28):
I was thinking about what I could do with the
rest of my day, and I thought I could go
to the gym and instead of a two.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
But crap. My emotional response is, oh, that would be cool. Yeah,
I think I've turned a corner. Oh, I've got the habit.
That's it. Yeah, if you can make it a habit,
I feel bad if I can't get to the gym.
That's opposed to the other way around. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
If I have a day that I don't do something exercisey,
it weirds me out with it.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
It's that I'm better than anybody folks. Trust me, as
Jack taught me. Habits are hard to break. Good ones too.
