Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Armstrong and Jetty and no Key arm get We got
to redo that liner because we gotta we changed the name.
We're no longer the Armstrong you get to show or
the Department of War. I think everything should be called
(00:38):
the Department of War. I'm all for that, just everything.
You gotta pay your energy bill, where do you pay
your water bill? The Department of War. Everything's the de readiness.
It's about readiness exactly. It's about we see you coming.
That's what it is. Live from Studio C. Sason your
he didn't we let room do with them? The bowels
(00:59):
of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound and hey all
today Friday headed into the weekend off we're into we're
under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Two options and you, Jack will decide which of these
is our general manager.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But choose carefully. What was it the other day? There's
a really good earlier this week I don't remember. Here
are your two choices. This is the Sophie's choice. Man,
oh boy, think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Your two choices for our general manager today either Seal
Team six or Chicken.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And I don't know why it would be either one
of those. So this is very exciting. Well, I gotta
go with Seal Team six. Why why would Seal Team
six be our general manager? How do I phrase this?
Here's a way to phrase it. Number one. There's so
many choices today, Michael, just choices piled on top of choices.
Description number one.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The New York Times has disclosed a highly inflammatory, top
secret Seal Team six mission.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That went sideways a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The way two to describe it is an unbelievably bold
and brash Sealed Team six mission authorized by Donald J
in his first term, went kind of sideways, and the
description of how it unfolded is super interesting and exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, Bett, what was their mission? What were they trying
to accomplish? Plant listening device a very powerful important intelligence
gathering listening device in North Korea?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh wow, from the sea, emerging silently from the frigid
sea there off the coast of North Korea to plant
this critical advice during Trump's negotiations with fathead Kim Jong
un over the nuclear program. If you recall that, you know,
five years ago or so five six years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Did we lose any guys?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No, some Korean fishermen had enough at a rough night,
oh boy, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh boy. Yeah, and like they didn't have it coming,
just kind of in the wrong place, the wrong time,
right right.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
There are a couple of very very small miscalculations, and
these they're essentially fishermen thought they heard something or saw something,
busted out their flashlights to see what might have caused
that noise. Oh wow, and YadA YadA YadA, dot dot dot,
and then they punctured their lungs with knives to make
sure they sank to the bottom. Oh so anyway, yeah, wow,
(03:39):
that's the unfortunate. Like Quentin Tarantino, I will be weaving
the tail in and out and shifting your time frame.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But that's the end. Wow wee yeah hmm, okay, take
note of Venezuelan fishermen as we have a lot of noise.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
No, the point wasn't to kill the fisherman or I
see what you're saying. Yeah, hey, you hear something weird
say is probably a fish and just keep sailing.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, speaking of it. That the Trump's change, and he's
announcing it today officially, but he's changing the Department of
Defense to the Department of War. And apparently Hexith has
to ask Congress, and Congress needs to approve it, but
Congress probably will approve it. And it was the Department
of War till the end of World War Two, and
I'm not sure it matters that much, but any who,
(04:28):
the Department of War has a whole bunch of warships
and twenty five hundred marines down there by Venezuela. And
remember on Monday, I said, Ian Bremer's thinking there's going
to be some like, you know, kinetic action here. And
then it was the next day that we blew up
that that drug thing and I thought, wow, Ian, really
you think we're actually going to do something in Venezuela.
(04:49):
And then the next day it was that we and
last night Ian Bremer on his Twitter feed said he
doesn't think we're going to like invade and try to
take Venezuela, but he wouldn't be surprised with a a
a beach whatever you call it. When you take a
beach amphibious and an amphibious, Yeah, take the beach. The
marines take the beach for some policing action. And then
(05:12):
and then leave, so holy crap, I mean that might happen.
We might have a many little Normandy beach landing there
in Venezuela with our marines. Holy cow.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
One is reminded of Grenada way back in the day.
Reagan invading, invading, administering a couple of licks, then withdrawing
a Kamie Island nation that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Was up to no good. All right, how about Monday
night football? Last night? Huh got delayed for an hour
because of lightning strikes. There was the mid third quarter
tight game Philadelphia, the defending champions are supposed to blow
out the Cowboys, and I think at the time it
was like twenty one twenty or something like that. And uh,
and the electricity are the lightning strikes. They had to
(05:57):
delay for a whole hour. But anyway, that's unfortunate start
for anybody who was on the East coast, particularly because
you had to be up till one o'clock in the morning,
I think to watch the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, you want a great game until then though, And
there was an ejection right for spitting disgusting.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We'll hear about that shortly. The most interesting thing I've
heard today. Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today, Nike,
after forty years, is changing its slogan. It has been
just do it pretty much my entire adult life, and
now it's going to be why do it now. I
(06:37):
don't ever believe that slogan's matter near as much as
these corporate people seem to think. You know, when it
was always Coca Cola and it became today Coca Cola
or whatever. I'm not sure those things have anything to
do with anybody. I smashed up all my Coca Cola
bottles and poured it down the train I could. I
was shocked. I was horrified. Yeah, I think those things
are overthought, but I heard the description of why, and
(06:58):
I thought that was damn interesting. They're going to why
do it because they think the anxious generation, as they're
referred to young people. Nike needs young people to like
their shoes, obviously, because that's always you know where the
money is or and plus you get them for life.
Maybe as a brand, the anxious generation doesn't really understand
why you would want to do a lot of these things.
(07:22):
Just do what? Why? What's the point? And so there
needs to be like a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I'm afraid will I need to talk to you in
the eye that I don't want to exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Can we do this online?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Can we have a running club online where we just
like sit at desks and post about running.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Can you call the running club and ask him if
I can be a member because I don't want to
call them? Yeah, how about that? I thought that is
really interesting. The slogan I don't care about. But the
reason for the slogan that they think young people think, well,
why would I even bother? It's supposed to just do it?
It's why why do it? I thought the youngsters were
so fit and into that that they don't drink anymore.
(08:00):
They just certainly don't have sex, which by the way,
is excellent cardiovascular exercise. They don't drink or I have
a sec because I don't think it they're fit. I've
not heard any studies that they're fit. I haven't come
across that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Why keep seeing The reason for the drop an alcohol
consumption is quote unquote health concerns, which is a different thing.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Suddenly. Maybe I don't know. Hiding in your apartment playing
video games doesn't reek of fitness. No, no, it does not. Anyway,
we should start the show officially. We got lots to
get to today. Some highlights from the RFK Junior hearing yesterday,
which got a lot of attention. Obviously, I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this Praya, September fifth, the year
(08:40):
twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting we approve
of this program.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, bears repeating that if we flout FCC rules, what
Trump does is anybody's guests.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, drone strike for Blowy. Yeah. So let's begin the
show officially now.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
According to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We are the sickest country in the world. That's why
we have to fire people at CDC. They did not
do their job. Senaty, You've said in that chair for
how long, twenty twenty five years while the chronic disease
and our children went up to seventy six percent, and
you said nothing. You never asked the question why it's happened?
(09:18):
Why is this happening?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Boo to me? I thought that was the best thing
that rf K Junior said. I don't know that well.
In fact, in my opinion, he is not the answer.
But the question needs to be asking. He's right, where
where Where is the level of this is an emergency
about young people, the anxious generation, the autism, anxiety, depression,
(09:46):
suicide account, low sperm count, all that sort of strip strength.
Where is the hair on fire? Holy crap, something's gone
wrong attitude about that. And again I'm not sure our
K Junior is the answer, but I'm sure he's not.
But I see your point, right, there should be a
really high level of holy crap. Something is really really wrong,
(10:07):
whether it's plastics or parenting or whatever it is, something
is off the rails with young people, right, agreed. I
thought that was a good thing for him to point out.
We've failed to mention the jobs numbers just came out
and they are low compared to expectations, like really low,
and that Trump did a preview yesterday saying jobs numbers
(10:28):
will come out. Don't believe the numbers are probably gonna
be low. They lie. So he preemptively said, don't believe
the numbers, but they're pretty low. Yeah. Somebody whispered in
his ear clearly. Yeah. So we can get into some
of the analysis from the different publications on that. Of course,
then they will revise those numbers next month, probably downward
(10:49):
or upward, who knows.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I will explain why Chicken could have been our
general manager.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
That's right, and I want more details on that Seal
Team six story. Holy crap, it's wild. Yeah, we'll get
to it. He's beautiful morning for fishing. You suppose they're
biting this morning? Hair? Who are those guys in the black? Yeah?
Are they swimming at this hour at the night? Oh jeez?
Text line four one, five, two nine five k FTC.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Are strong YETI.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So, as you all know, probably Katie, Katie, the news
lady usually does does headlines in this segment, is doing
the whole IVF pregnancy thing. She has talked openly about
that and on the air and in our podcasts and
stuff like that, and she's gonna be out I think,
all the next week with that, and she'll have lots
of updates on that one when we come back. But
we miss the news headline segment, so we are looking
(11:42):
around who could possibly do that? And I believe we've
had Jensen from the newsroom on the air before. Haven't
we had you on before? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think mostly a podcasts once or twice.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But I was thinking, first of all, I know you've
been on other radio stations, other shows. This is the
big time though, this is the Major League is a
different level. As you can tell, I'm wearing a sewergyes,
I'm wearing a suit. This is a different level. You're
you know this is and I'm wearing a Cracker T shirt,
so you can tell this is a big time. But
do you sure you want to go just by Jensen still?
(12:14):
If you're I mean, yeah, we had a newsgirl named
Page Turner. I think we had a sunny day at
some point doing traffic versus you don't want a name
like that, or maybe Jensen Saint Jensen.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I think I was born with a stage name, so
I think I'll keep that.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Okay, you do have a very cool name, I would agree,
Jensen Saint Jensen's pretty good. So Katie is out temporarily.
But my gosh, how lucky we are to have such
a great pinch hitter. Let's figure out who's reporting what
it's the lead story with Jensen Raider Jensen.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
All right, some news headlines for today. This is from
ABC News.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Demolition for a new White House ballroom does not need approval.
This coming from a Trump appointed commission, demolition for President
Donald Trump's new ballroom that the White House can proceed
without approval from the National Capital Planning Commission. This according
to a Trump appointed head of the panel.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So I I have no problem with it, you know whatever.
But I just on a list of things I thought
would happen under a Trump presidency. A new ballroom I
just was not on my radar.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Will it be ready in time for the big MMA
fights next June?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's what I want. We're gonna have MA fights in
the ballroom. Well, no, that the MMA fights are going
to be on the south lawn. I think, Yeah, that's awesome.
You know, you got a certain meals somewhere.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
And the next headline is from NPR one and done.
Dose of LSD could help keep anxiety at bay. This
is new research came on right now, right right, But
don't take too much because it apparently could emphasize the
anxiety once you get past a certain point.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So they're recommending microdosing LSD.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay, done. That's a problem with a lot of those
sorts of things, especially if you have a well, if
a little was good, a lot must be awesome attitude
toward things like I do. Right, we were talking yesterday
latesh in the show, as I recall about beta blockers
that evidently are all the rage among women because they
reduce the various physical symptoms of anxiety, and so some
(14:15):
gals are taking them for like everything that could make
you the right bit nervous. They're popping pills, which it
doesn't that strike me as a great way to go
through life. No, what's that due to your nervous system?
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And my final headline is that Tesla is proposing a
pay increase for Elon Musk over the course of a decade,
could make him the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
He has a one trillion dollar bonus structure, A trillion
with a T.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, if he hits certain benchmarks Number one Tesla Board
of Directors, I'll do it for half that, So you know,
it's it's only if he quote unquote earns it, he'll
get that. But that's it's an incomprehensiable amount of money,
for sure, it really is.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I saw that yesterday that they their sales are down
thirty four percent a third in Europe year to year.
Now is that the blew them off the rows of
electric cars? Or is that the political view of Elon
Musk in Europe? Or both? Did they care about but
did they care about the fact that he got involved
in doge and is a Trump guy. Over in Europe,
(15:24):
they probably do. It couldn't help in Europe. I actually
know very little about electric car sales in Europe. I
know much more about China, weirdly enough, in which it's
become clear to me part of the reason they're doing
such a nice job at producing quality electric cars evs
for shockingly low price tags is that they're engaged in
(15:46):
shockingly predatory pricing practices and they're all driving each other
into bankruptcy with the help of the Chinese Communist Party.
So if you hear anything about.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, well in China they can make it like a
Tesla plaid for thirty four thousand dollars, Well yeah they can't. Actually,
they're borrowing money like lunatics. It's unsustainable.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That's interesting. So Jensen, Saint Jensen, thank you, and we
will see you on Monday. And I think you should
consider it again once now that you're in the big
time some sort of stage name.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
One more question for Jensen before you leave. If you're
going to Taco Bell today and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Gonna get yourself a couple of tacos, where you going
to take it be I hlid, are they gonna be
beef tacos or chicken tacos? Very difficult. She can't hear
you through for whatever reason our microphone. Sorry, oh for good, that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Would explain and everybody was just on the edge of
their seat wanting to hear the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So you're gonna explain the whole chicken thing to us?
I will and okay, cool. We do have some highlights
from the RFK junior hearing. A couple of things that
including he got beat up pretty decent by Republicans and
maybe the main thing is the Wall Street Journal just
tears them apart today. The editorial board. Oh yeah, yeah,
you got one great editorial writer punching him in the
(17:04):
head verbally speaking, another one kicking him in his nether regions.
It's just the National Review could not be more negative.
Oh really, Okay, so we got all that news coming up.
Hope you can stay here if you missing and get
the podcast Armstrong and get you on demand Armstrong and Getty.
Did you guys see this? Yesterday? In San Francisco, two
United planes on the tarmac bumped into each other. Oh.
(17:27):
United calls that an accident, while Southwest just calls it
a high five. At least it was on the ground.
That wouldn't frighten me that much. I'd think, Wow, this
is incompetent, but I wouldn't think I'm gonna die. Two
things I want to mention real quick. First of all,
a lot of people upset who paid for the NFL
(17:47):
Red Zone with the whole idea.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh my gosh, you both two weeks in a row.
Wait a minute, I've hardly said a word.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Michael. You did not get me at all. Yeah, uh,
you weren't. This is the failed Jack administration. You weren't
this hit fault here. I was wrong, but you weren't
about to announce clips of the week. I was pretending
to be completely clueless. Cleverly. My acting skill is on
the Still great things too to talk about, well, and
we need to give plenty of time to the absolutely
(18:21):
stunning story of the Seal Team six mission into North Korea,
perhaps to kick off next hour. Yeah, and then I
got two great things after this little feature that I
completely forgot me that I remembered and was ready for.
All right.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yes, it's the Friday tradition, which we both cherish. Obviously,
it's times hit fun look back at the week that was,
It's cow clips of the.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Week and now clips of the week.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will perform at
the Super Bowl. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying maybe his name.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Is zorn Monadnie.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Well tays you quite male, covered in but in underwear,
who just died or love?
Speaker 8 (19:05):
He was all over the TV for hundreds of years
with his idiocy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
In long sense, he just wanted to sniff my feet,
and I didn't feel comfortable with that, counting.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
All the way to womanly and would literally take days count.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
We just over the last few minutes, literally, I shot
out a boat, a drug carrying boat, A lot of
drugs in that boat.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He's made very clear he's not going to allow of
the United States to continue to be flooded with cocaine
and fentnel. No fatial troops in the city of Chicago.
The White House sticking to its plans.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
After a violent, labored eight weekend in Chicago where eight
people were.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Killed, I refused to play a reality game show with
Donald Trump again.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Chicago is a hellhole right now.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
A new world order is forming the beaches of China.
India and Russia tonight hand in hand.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
A defiant show of force, China flexing its military might
with its largest ever parade and four legged robot wolves
designed to locate mines and hunt down soldiers. Human organs
can be continuously transplanted.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The longer you live, the younger you become, and can
even achieve immortality. Did you accept the fact that a
million Americans died from COVID? I don't know how many died.
All we know is open to the residence upstairs, and
somebody has thrown a big bag out of the window.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
If something happens, it's really bad. Maybe I'll have to
just blame Aie.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
We all know that it was his administration throw it
a bag full of the Epstein files out of the window,
and the orders of the Pope and the Jews, right,
really a Democrat hoax?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
For him to say what he's saying is beyond me.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I cordially invite you to the capital to meet me
in person so you can understand this is not a hoax.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
We will confidentially compile the names we all know who
are regularly in the Epsteam world.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Stay tuned for more details.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Narry Are you sure that wasn't clips of the month.
There's no way all that happened in a week now,
no wonder. I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
We didn't give enough time to this particular clip that
was at the beginning though, because the seriousness in his
voice compared to the subject matter is so hilarious.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will perform at
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
NFL Commissioner Roger.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Goodell saying maybe when asked about it, referring.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Questions and if PaaS does not agree to the seaspire,
I mean he is the same voice as the Helmas
October seventh attacks for Taylor Swift playing in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Iient just continue to believe that brain injury threatens NFL player. No, no,
it was speculation mounts whether Taylor Swift will sing.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
At the Super Bowl, all right, Rodre Goodell says, maybe
a couple of quick things. One. I knew this was
gonna happen. I already got a bunch of texts about
how hot Jensen sounds. I just knew that was gonna
happen because Jensen has very attractive voice. I knew that
was gonna happen. And I'm just warning her. She is
a skilled and respected Journalist's not a piece of meat
(22:30):
for you to all go your perves. I've been in
radio my whole life. I know how the whole thing works.
With females on the air, if they got a certain
kind of voice, it just it does something to men.
So Jensen, be prepared in your social media. You're just
gonna be swamped with weirdos. Okay, so sorry, swamped with weirdos. Uh,
there's that. Uh oh. And so I actually learned this
(22:51):
from Ian Bremmer on his Twitter feed last night. He
was angry NFL Red Zone, which is a new thing
you need to subscribe to to watch games this season.
You subscribe to it and pay, you don't get ads,
except they had ads even if you paid for it,
and everybody's super angry about it. Wow, what happened to
no ads? Well, we didn't mean many, not many ads.
(23:13):
We didn't say no, you said no ads, so free.
We meant that we don't charge you for the ads. Yeow.
So uh and I just came across this, which I
think is very very interesting, the boring truth about why
America got fat, A big giant article in some important publication,
which I like that headline, the boring truth about why
(23:33):
America got fat because it is kind of boring. It's
not super exciting and complicated. The truth about calories, ultra
processed food and why myth busting media sometimes make more myths.
But here's my favorite part of it. The most basic
truth in nutrition is simple and difficult. Caloric surplus drives
weight gain. Caloric deficit drives weight loss. Slow down, I'm Johnny,
(23:58):
I know, I know, I shouldn't. Where do I get
off talking over all your heads? You need to have
a PhD to understand what they're saying. I don't know
why they had to use a term like chloric choleric surplus.
Are you trying to.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Claim if I eat significantly more than I need, I'm
going to gain weight.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
If you take in more than you burn off, you
gain weight. If you take in less than you burn off,
you lose weight. The end, the end, period, Yeah, that's
the end. That's the whole thing. I know, isn't that something?
(24:42):
Caloric surplus drives weight gain, Cloric deficit drives weight loss.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, And as you know, I pointed out my little
vacation in England. We walked five to seven miles a day.
We could eat whatever we wanted.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, getting back now to my standard lifestyle. No,
I gotta be very very careful again anyway. Well that's that.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So the significance of chicken and why I keep bringing
it up in just a moment after a word from
our friends at Webroot, this is so great. You know
how you got like half a dozen companies. Maybe you
have a VPN, I do. I think it's a good idea.
Maybe you have you know, virus protection, maybe you got
fishing protection.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, webroute does it all for you. Yeah, we all
know somebody who has had their bank account hacked and
what a night merit is to get that all fixed.
I mean months of work and your credit score being
affected and you guys say, no, no, no, that wasn't me.
What a mess. That's why we trust Webroot Total Protection.
It monitors for stolen identities, credit fraud, even scans the
dark web looking for your info. And right now, great
(25:48):
offer for y'all, right now, fifty percent off Webroot Total
Protection or Webroot Essentials at webroot dot com. Slash Armstrong
if something does go wrong, which is incredibly unlikely, you're
backed with up to a million dollars in reimbursement. Yeah,

American institution at which Jack has never eaten.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Is that's still true? Still have not eaten Taco Bell?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Ever shocking they got a new CEO who actually came
from Nike, as I recall that we just mentioned earlier.
Oddly enough, anyway, some of the more interesting statistics about
Taco Bell, they used to say, think outside the bond.
Now they're thinking outside the tortilla. They're going to offer
Chrispy Chicken nuggets and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
But I was struck by this. This is where you
normally jump in and say, most people have to pay
for advertisements. Yeah I do, usually yell at don't I yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So last year, twenty five percent of orders at Taco Bell,
we're chicken chicken oriented, twenty five percent. This year it's
forty percent. There is an explosion in chicken lust among Americans'
fast food consumers. Apparently they're chicken sales at Taco hell
(27:30):
as we used to call it in high school, which
us an unfortunate and slanderous moniker, and I regret it.
Chicken sales have grown fifty percent in the last two
years and are on paced to double to five billion
dollars worth by twenty thirty, increasing interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Poultry when they eat out. What I find interesting about
that is I have found myself, when faced with the
option at a fast forward eatery of the burger, which
I've been getting my whole life, or a chicken thing,
I've been going with the chicken more often. I don't.
I'm not part of a trend or anything. I didn't
discuss this with anybody, not intentionally. Why would we all
(28:06):
of a sudden all decide let's do chicken instead of meat?
That seems a little heavy I'll go with the chicken.
Why all this instead of like red meat?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, I don't have considered chicken meat. Wow, it's Kansas
cattle farmer talking there. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know. It's crazy. Huh.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, they're gonna have like chicken wings and chicken nuggets
and chicken that they're just gonna go kind of Well,
I was gonna say, anything goes, but this is what
our customers ask us for, so we're gonna give it
to it. Well, that'd be a lot that says taco
on the sign, will serve whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
This is America. That'll be our call in topic for
the day. Why eating so much chicken? I'll take your calls.
We got mail bag on the way. Joe's gonna explain
this amazing Seal Team six story that just came out
in the New York Times today. That's something so RFK
Junior highlights. What how close are we to invading a
country down in South America with the Marines, Like it's
(29:01):
Omaha Beach, A whole bunch of stuff on the way
stay here. I wish I had a better understanding of
what wolf right is. Every time I think I got
my head around it. I see something that makes me
think I don't. Yeah, I think there are variations and
(29:22):
the young far right. Yeah, we could talk about that later.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Here's your freedom let me quote of the day, focusing on
British authors.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think this guy's British doesn't really matter. We'll get
back to that Monday. But William Ralph Inge Lincoln actually
said something similar to this. But here's your quote.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in
favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So true.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
If you cannot enforce your will, there's no point in
having will at all. Mailbag trub Us note, would you
mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com keep it
brief if you can less like you're a member of
Seal Team six and want to tell us about the
mission you were on, then field fee to let it.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Rip any This fits in with we'll get to it
hour two, what Europe said about troops on the ground
in Russia and what Putin said back. We'll see how
that turns out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, So first and most importantly, I would like to apologize.
I often say accuracy is my Hallmark, I swung and
I missed yesterday. Probably poor metaphoric. As we're talking about football.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
The tush push has not been out lawed.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Everybody thought it would be, but then at the last
minute the owners said, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And push people's big eye nies into the end zone
if you like. The fans seem to dig it, okay,
so anyway, let's see then.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Speaking of Britain, this is Greg of the Military. All right, Joe,
I can't believe you didn't take the opportunity to get
yourself arrested in the UK. Yeah, I was going to
intentionally run a foul of their unbelievably sickeningly politically correct
anti what do they call it hate speech laws or whatever?
(31:15):
In the UK they've gone way too far and we'll
talk more about that later as well.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Throw you in the Tower of London. You don't want that.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But Greg says, all it would have taken is speaking
the truth about trans or misgendering some money, or maybe
you could take a WII on the Queen's final resting place.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
No, wait a minute, wait, Greg, why don't you think No,
I was trying to make a point. That's a different thing.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
That's a very difference testing you're not testing vandalism laws,
but he says, referring to maybe talking about the transgender thing,
he suggests a headline that I don't think I should
read on the air. Shock jocked locked for calling.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
A rooster or rooster. Gotcha? Well, that comedian that got
arrested at Heathrow for some anti transgender tweets showed up
to court yesterday and a sandwich board that said there's
no such thing as transgender. So he's going further down
that world. Way to go, brother, world of the.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Free speech cherishing world is one hundred percent on his side,
including a lot of my favorite thinkers. Greg's final note is, Joe,
that was the worst business decision. Blah blah blah. The
show would have blown up like a Venezuelan narco bo.
Let's see moving along. It's the always interesting Pallo. You
guys were talking about technology that makes its way onto
(32:35):
the battlefield AI, specifically an AI driven drone swarms. They're
actually using this in Ukraine now. They send out three drones.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
The drones talk to each other about where to attack
and when no humans being involved, they picked their targets
and come up with strategy. And what did China show
at the parade the other day? Four legged robot wolves wolves? Yeah,
robot wolves, let's see, he says, I wonder if it's
possible that eventually that may turn out to be a
(33:05):
good thing. If technology advances enough, humans will be unable
to effectively engage in compact against it, and the technology
will be so advanced that no human assistances required. Drones
another tech will duke it out to determine the winner. Yet.
I hadn't thought about that. But if that is the future,
and then at some point surrender because you realize we're best.
(33:26):
Did they have better technology or more money or whatever.
There's no point in fighting on and no human beings fight,
So it would become like the NFL or Major League
Baseball that the team with the biggest payroll just wins mostly. Wow,
that's interesting. Cowboys disputed that notion last night until the
lightning came. Yeah yeah, wow, fabulous topic. Let's see.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Side show Bob on the topic of Florida moving to
rescind its vaccination requirements ten years from now, the way
times that the Magic Kingdom are going to be pure
hell with all those kids with polio skipping to the
front of the line.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Oh wow, that Joe Bob against it. Apparently some strong stuff. Yeah,
polio making a comeback, obviously would be just horrific. Oh
my lord, is that even possible? Uh? Yeah, I think so. Sure.
Do they have polio in other parts of the world?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Still, Oh goodness, that's that's actually a very good question.
Once in a great while a case pops up. But
i'd have to look into that. I'm not sure. I'm yeah,
And which kind of brings us indirectly to the whole
RFK junior hearing, and we'll play you some highlights and
low lights later. The fact that there are probably too
(34:41):
many vaccinations and once in a while a kid is
injured by one and the CDC shredded all of its
credibility during COVID does not lead me to rejecting all
of it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
In all cases, maybe need to be geared back a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But the idea that kids shouldn't be getting vaccinations against
these childhood diseases that cause them to die horribly as
you weep and beg the doctors to save their lives
for generations and generations, that's what happened, all right. There's
not some sort of imaginary exercise in selling pharmaceuticals at
the same time. Yeah, big farmers make it zillions of dollars.
(35:23):
You're not wrong about that. The answer, as usual, probably
lies somewhere in the middle. And then let's see do
we have time for this? Aaron with a really intriguing
note about why AI hallucinates. In short, it's because not
really thinking at all. Instead, all the AI models do
is predict what the next word in the sentence should
be given the words so far has huge databases of
(35:44):
training data, looks for what should be next, not calculating anything.
It just keeps redicting what predicting what words should be next,
and that it will find an answer, even if it's
ridiculous or seams made up to human beings. And at
least so far, it doesn't have the human mind to say,
(36:05):
wait a second, that can't be true. It doesn't have
any skepticism well, or just.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Say you know what, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I've been looking at this all day and I can't
figure it out, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Now we have so much news we've got to get to.
I hope you can stick around if you can't get
the podcast. Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Armstrong and Jetty and no Key arm get We got
to redo that liner because we gotta we changed the name.
We're no longer the Armstrong you get to show or
the Department of War. I think everything should be called
(00:38):
the Department of War. I'm all for that, just everything.
You gotta pay your energy bill, where do you pay
your water bill? The Department of War. Everything's the de readiness.
It's about readiness exactly. It's about we see you coming.
That's what it is. Live from Studio C. Sason your
he didn't we let room do with them? The bowels
(00:59):
of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound and hey all
today Friday headed into the weekend off we're into we're
under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Two options and you, Jack will decide which of these
is our general manager.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But choose carefully. What was it the other day? There's
a really good earlier this week I don't remember. Here
are your two choices. This is the Sophie's choice. Man,
oh boy, think about it.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Your two choices for our general manager today either Seal
Team six or Chicken.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And I don't know why it would be either one
of those. So this is very exciting. Well, I gotta
go with Seal Team six. Why why would Seal Team
six be our general manager? How do I phrase this?
Here's a way to phrase it. Number one. There's so
many choices today, Michael, just choices piled on top of choices.
Description number one.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
The New York Times has disclosed a highly inflammatory, top
secret Seal Team six mission.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That went sideways a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The way two to describe it is an unbelievably bold
and brash Sealed Team six mission authorized by Donald J
in his first term, went kind of sideways, and the
description of how it unfolded is super interesting and exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, Bett, what was their mission? What were they trying
to accomplish? Plant listening device a very powerful important intelligence
gathering listening device in North Korea?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh wow, from the sea, emerging silently from the frigid
sea there off the coast of North Korea to plant
this critical advice during Trump's negotiations with fathead Kim Jong
un over the nuclear program. If you recall that, you know,
five years ago or so five six years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Did we lose any guys?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No, some Korean fishermen had enough at a rough night,
oh boy, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh boy. Yeah, and like they didn't have it coming,
just kind of in the wrong place, the wrong time,
right right.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
There are a couple of very very small miscalculations, and
these they're essentially fishermen thought they heard something or saw something,
busted out their flashlights to see what might have caused
that noise. Oh wow, and YadA YadA YadA, dot dot dot,
and then they punctured their lungs with knives to make
sure they sank to the bottom. Oh so anyway, yeah, wow,
(03:39):
that's the unfortunate. Like Quentin Tarantino, I will be weaving
the tail in and out and shifting your time frame.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
But that's the end. Wow wee yeah hmm, okay, take
note of Venezuelan fishermen as we have a lot of noise.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
No, the point wasn't to kill the fisherman or I
see what you're saying. Yeah, hey, you hear something weird
say is probably a fish and just keep sailing.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, speaking of it. That the Trump's change, and he's
announcing it today officially, but he's changing the Department of
Defense to the Department of War. And apparently Hexith has
to ask Congress, and Congress needs to approve it, but
Congress probably will approve it. And it was the Department
of War till the end of World War Two, and
I'm not sure it matters that much, but any who,
(04:28):
the Department of War has a whole bunch of warships
and twenty five hundred marines down there by Venezuela. And
remember on Monday, I said, Ian Bremer's thinking there's going
to be some like, you know, kinetic action here. And
then it was the next day that we blew up
that that drug thing and I thought, wow, Ian, really
you think we're actually going to do something in Venezuela.
(04:49):
And then the next day it was that we and
last night Ian Bremer on his Twitter feed said he
doesn't think we're going to like invade and try to
take Venezuela, but he wouldn't be surprised with a a
a beach whatever you call it. When you take a
beach amphibious and an amphibious, Yeah, take the beach. The
marines take the beach for some policing action. And then
(05:12):
and then leave, so holy crap, I mean that might happen.
We might have a many little Normandy beach landing there
in Venezuela with our marines. Holy cow.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
One is reminded of Grenada way back in the day.
Reagan invading, invading, administering a couple of licks, then withdrawing
a Kamie Island nation that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Was up to no good. All right, how about Monday
night football? Last night? Huh got delayed for an hour
because of lightning strikes. There was the mid third quarter
tight game Philadelphia, the defending champions are supposed to blow
out the Cowboys, and I think at the time it
was like twenty one twenty or something like that. And uh,
and the electricity are the lightning strikes. They had to
(05:57):
delay for a whole hour. But anyway, that's unfortunate start
for anybody who was on the East coast, particularly because
you had to be up till one o'clock in the morning,
I think to watch the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, you want a great game until then though, And
there was an ejection right for spitting disgusting.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We'll hear about that shortly. The most interesting thing I've
heard today. Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today, Nike,
after forty years, is changing its slogan. It has been
just do it pretty much my entire adult life, and
now it's going to be why do it now. I
(06:37):
don't ever believe that slogan's matter near as much as
these corporate people seem to think. You know, when it
was always Coca Cola and it became today Coca Cola
or whatever. I'm not sure those things have anything to
do with anybody. I smashed up all my Coca Cola
bottles and poured it down the train I could. I
was shocked. I was horrified. Yeah, I think those things
are overthought, but I heard the description of why, and
(06:58):
I thought that was damn interesting. They're going to why
do it because they think the anxious generation, as they're
referred to young people. Nike needs young people to like
their shoes, obviously, because that's always you know where the
money is or and plus you get them for life.
Maybe as a brand, the anxious generation doesn't really understand
why you would want to do a lot of these things.
(07:22):
Just do what? Why? What's the point? And so there
needs to be like a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I'm afraid will I need to talk to you in
the eye that I don't want to exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Can we do this online?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Can we have a running club online where we just
like sit at desks and post about running.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Can you call the running club and ask him if
I can be a member because I don't want to
call them? Yeah, how about that? I thought that is
really interesting. The slogan I don't care about. But the
reason for the slogan that they think young people think, well,
why would I even bother? It's supposed to just do it?
It's why why do it? I thought the youngsters were
so fit and into that that they don't drink anymore.
(08:00):
They just certainly don't have sex, which by the way,
is excellent cardiovascular exercise. They don't drink or I have
a sec because I don't think it they're fit. I've
not heard any studies that they're fit. I haven't come
across that.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Why keep seeing The reason for the drop an alcohol
consumption is quote unquote health concerns, which is a different thing.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Suddenly. Maybe I don't know. Hiding in your apartment playing
video games doesn't reek of fitness. No, no, it does not. Anyway,
we should start the show officially. We got lots to
get to today. Some highlights from the RFK Junior hearing yesterday,
which got a lot of attention. Obviously, I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this Praya, September fifth, the year
(08:40):
twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting we approve
of this program.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, bears repeating that if we flout FCC rules, what
Trump does is anybody's guests.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, drone strike for Blowy. Yeah. So let's begin the
show officially now.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
According to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We are the sickest country in the world. That's why
we have to fire people at CDC. They did not
do their job. Senaty, You've said in that chair for
how long, twenty twenty five years while the chronic disease
and our children went up to seventy six percent, and
you said nothing. You never asked the question why it's happened?
(09:18):
Why is this happening?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Boo to me? I thought that was the best thing
that rf K Junior said. I don't know that well.
In fact, in my opinion, he is not the answer.
But the question needs to be asking. He's right, where
where Where is the level of this is an emergency
about young people, the anxious generation, the autism, anxiety, depression,
(09:46):
suicide account, low sperm count, all that sort of strip strength.
Where is the hair on fire? Holy crap, something's gone
wrong attitude about that. And again I'm not sure our
K Junior is the answer, but I'm sure he's not.
But I see your point, right, there should be a
really high level of holy crap. Something is really really wrong,
(10:07):
whether it's plastics or parenting or whatever it is, something
is off the rails with young people, right, agreed. I
thought that was a good thing for him to point out.
We've failed to mention the jobs numbers just came out
and they are low compared to expectations, like really low,
and that Trump did a preview yesterday saying jobs numbers
(10:28):
will come out. Don't believe the numbers are probably gonna
be low. They lie. So he preemptively said, don't believe
the numbers, but they're pretty low. Yeah. Somebody whispered in
his ear clearly. Yeah. So we can get into some
of the analysis from the different publications on that. Of course,
then they will revise those numbers next month, probably downward
(10:49):
or upward, who knows.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I will explain why Chicken could have been our
general manager.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
That's right, and I want more details on that Seal
Team six story. Holy crap, it's wild. Yeah, we'll get
to it. He's beautiful morning for fishing. You suppose they're
biting this morning? Hair? Who are those guys in the black? Yeah?
Are they swimming at this hour at the night? Oh jeez?
Text line four one, five, two nine five k FTC.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Are strong YETI.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So, as you all know, probably Katie, Katie, the news
lady usually does does headlines in this segment, is doing
the whole IVF pregnancy thing. She has talked openly about
that and on the air and in our podcasts and
stuff like that, and she's gonna be out I think,
all the next week with that, and she'll have lots
of updates on that one when we come back. But
we miss the news headline segment, so we are looking
(11:42):
around who could possibly do that? And I believe we've
had Jensen from the newsroom on the air before. Haven't
we had you on before? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I think mostly a podcasts once or twice.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But I was thinking, first of all, I know you've
been on other radio stations, other shows. This is the
big time though, this is the Major League is a
different level. As you can tell, I'm wearing a sewergyes,
I'm wearing a suit. This is a different level. You're
you know this is and I'm wearing a Cracker T shirt,
so you can tell this is a big time. But
do you sure you want to go just by Jensen still?
(12:14):
If you're I mean, yeah, we had a newsgirl named
Page Turner. I think we had a sunny day at
some point doing traffic versus you don't want a name
like that, or maybe Jensen Saint Jensen.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I think I was born with a stage name, so
I think I'll keep that.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Okay, you do have a very cool name, I would agree,
Jensen Saint Jensen's pretty good. So Katie is out temporarily.
But my gosh, how lucky we are to have such
a great pinch hitter. Let's figure out who's reporting what
it's the lead story with Jensen Raider Jensen.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
All right, some news headlines for today. This is from
ABC News.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Demolition for a new White House ballroom does not need approval.
This coming from a Trump appointed commission, demolition for President
Donald Trump's new ballroom that the White House can proceed
without approval from the National Capital Planning Commission. This according
to a Trump appointed head of the panel.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
So I I have no problem with it, you know whatever.
But I just on a list of things I thought
would happen under a Trump presidency. A new ballroom I
just was not on my radar.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Will it be ready in time for the big MMA
fights next June?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
That's what I want. We're gonna have MA fights in
the ballroom. Well, no, that the MMA fights are going
to be on the south lawn. I think, Yeah, that's awesome.
You know, you got a certain meals somewhere.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
And the next headline is from NPR one and done.
Dose of LSD could help keep anxiety at bay. This
is new research came on right now, right right, But
don't take too much because it apparently could emphasize the
anxiety once you get past a certain point.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
So they're recommending microdosing LSD.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay, done. That's a problem with a lot of those
sorts of things, especially if you have a well, if
a little was good, a lot must be awesome attitude
toward things like I do. Right, we were talking yesterday
latesh in the show, as I recall about beta blockers
that evidently are all the rage among women because they
reduce the various physical symptoms of anxiety, and so some
(14:15):
gals are taking them for like everything that could make
you the right bit nervous. They're popping pills, which it
doesn't that strike me as a great way to go
through life. No, what's that due to your nervous system?
Speaker 5 (14:28):
And my final headline is that Tesla is proposing a
pay increase for Elon Musk over the course of a decade,
could make him the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
He has a one trillion dollar bonus structure, A trillion
with a T.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, if he hits certain benchmarks Number one Tesla Board
of Directors, I'll do it for half that, So you know,
it's it's only if he quote unquote earns it, he'll
get that. But that's it's an incomprehensiable amount of money,
for sure, it really is.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I saw that yesterday that they their sales are down
thirty four percent a third in Europe year to year.
Now is that the blew them off the rows of
electric cars? Or is that the political view of Elon
Musk in Europe? Or both? Did they care about but
did they care about the fact that he got involved
in doge and is a Trump guy. Over in Europe,
(15:24):
they probably do. It couldn't help in Europe. I actually
know very little about electric car sales in Europe. I
know much more about China, weirdly enough, in which it's
become clear to me part of the reason they're doing
such a nice job at producing quality electric cars evs
for shockingly low price tags is that they're engaged in
(15:46):
shockingly predatory pricing practices and they're all driving each other
into bankruptcy with the help of the Chinese Communist Party.
So if you hear anything about.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, well in China they can make it like a
Tesla plaid for thirty four thousand dollars, Well yeah they can't. Actually,
they're borrowing money like lunatics. It's unsustainable.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That's interesting. So Jensen, Saint Jensen, thank you, and we
will see you on Monday. And I think you should
consider it again once now that you're in the big
time some sort of stage name.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
One more question for Jensen before you leave. If you're
going to Taco Bell today and you're.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Gonna get yourself a couple of tacos, where you going
to take it be I hlid, are they gonna be
beef tacos or chicken tacos? Very difficult. She can't hear
you through for whatever reason our microphone. Sorry, oh for good, that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Would explain and everybody was just on the edge of
their seat wanting to hear the answer.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So you're gonna explain the whole chicken thing to us?
I will and okay, cool. We do have some highlights
from the RFK junior hearing. A couple of things that
including he got beat up pretty decent by Republicans and
maybe the main thing is the Wall Street Journal just
tears them apart today. The editorial board. Oh yeah, yeah,
you got one great editorial writer punching him in the
(17:04):
head verbally speaking, another one kicking him in his nether regions.
It's just the National Review could not be more negative.
Oh really, Okay, so we got all that news coming up.
Hope you can stay here if you missing and get
the podcast Armstrong and get you on demand Armstrong and Getty.
Did you guys see this? Yesterday? In San Francisco, two
United planes on the tarmac bumped into each other. Oh.
(17:27):
United calls that an accident, while Southwest just calls it
a high five. At least it was on the ground.
That wouldn't frighten me that much. I'd think, Wow, this
is incompetent, but I wouldn't think I'm gonna die. Two
things I want to mention real quick. First of all,
a lot of people upset who paid for the NFL
(17:47):
Red Zone with the whole idea.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Oh my gosh, you both two weeks in a row.
Wait a minute, I've hardly said a word.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Michael. You did not get me at all. Yeah, uh,
you weren't. This is the failed Jack administration. You weren't
this hit fault here. I was wrong, but you weren't
about to announce clips of the week. I was pretending
to be completely clueless. Cleverly. My acting skill is on
the Still great things too to talk about, well, and
we need to give plenty of time to the absolutely
(18:21):
stunning story of the Seal Team six mission into North Korea,
perhaps to kick off next hour. Yeah, and then I
got two great things after this little feature that I
completely forgot me that I remembered and was ready for.
All right.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yes, it's the Friday tradition, which we both cherish. Obviously,
it's times hit fun look back at the week that was,
It's cow clips of the.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Week and now clips of the week.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will perform at
the Super Bowl. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell saying maybe his name.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Is zorn Monadnie.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Well tays you quite male, covered in but in underwear,
who just died or love?
Speaker 8 (19:05):
He was all over the TV for hundreds of years
with his idiocy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
In long sense, he just wanted to sniff my feet,
and I didn't feel comfortable with that, counting.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
All the way to womanly and would literally take days count.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
We just over the last few minutes, literally, I shot
out a boat, a drug carrying boat, A lot of
drugs in that boat.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He's made very clear he's not going to allow of
the United States to continue to be flooded with cocaine
and fentnel. No fatial troops in the city of Chicago.
The White House sticking to its plans.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
After a violent, labored eight weekend in Chicago where eight
people were.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Killed, I refused to play a reality game show with
Donald Trump again.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Chicago is a hellhole right now.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
A new world order is forming the beaches of China.
India and Russia tonight hand in hand.
Speaker 9 (20:09):
A defiant show of force, China flexing its military might
with its largest ever parade and four legged robot wolves
designed to locate mines and hunt down soldiers. Human organs
can be continuously transplanted.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The longer you live, the younger you become, and can
even achieve immortality. Did you accept the fact that a
million Americans died from COVID? I don't know how many died.
All we know is open to the residence upstairs, and
somebody has thrown a big bag out of the window.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
If something happens, it's really bad. Maybe I'll have to
just blame Aie.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
We all know that it was his administration throw it
a bag full of the Epstein files out of the window,
and the orders of the Pope and the Jews, right,
really a Democrat hoax?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
For him to say what he's saying is beyond me.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I cordially invite you to the capital to meet me
in person so you can understand this is not a hoax.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
We will confidentially compile the names we all know who
are regularly in the Epsteam world.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Stay tuned for more details.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Narry Are you sure that wasn't clips of the month.
There's no way all that happened in a week now,
no wonder. I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
We didn't give enough time to this particular clip that
was at the beginning though, because the seriousness in his
voice compared to the subject matter is so hilarious.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Tonight's speculation mounting over whether Taylor Swift will perform at
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
NFL Commissioner Roger.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Goodell saying maybe when asked about it, referring.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Questions and if PaaS does not agree to the seaspire,
I mean he is the same voice as the Helmas
October seventh attacks for Taylor Swift playing in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Iient just continue to believe that brain injury threatens NFL player. No, no,
it was speculation mounts whether Taylor Swift will sing.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
At the Super Bowl, all right, Rodre Goodell says, maybe
a couple of quick things. One. I knew this was
gonna happen. I already got a bunch of texts about
how hot Jensen sounds. I just knew that was gonna
happen because Jensen has very attractive voice. I knew that
was gonna happen. And I'm just warning her. She is
a skilled and respected Journalist's not a piece of meat
(22:30):
for you to all go your perves. I've been in
radio my whole life. I know how the whole thing works.
With females on the air, if they got a certain
kind of voice, it just it does something to men.
So Jensen, be prepared in your social media. You're just
gonna be swamped with weirdos. Okay, so sorry, swamped with weirdos. Uh,
there's that. Uh oh. And so I actually learned this
(22:51):
from Ian Bremmer on his Twitter feed last night. He
was angry NFL Red Zone, which is a new thing
you need to subscribe to to watch games this season.
You subscribe to it and pay, you don't get ads,
except they had ads even if you paid for it,
and everybody's super angry about it. Wow, what happened to
no ads? Well, we didn't mean many, not many ads.
(23:13):
We didn't say no, you said no ads, so free.
We meant that we don't charge you for the ads. Yeow.
So uh and I just came across this, which I
think is very very interesting, the boring truth about why
America got fat, A big giant article in some important publication,
which I like that headline, the boring truth about why
(23:33):
America got fat because it is kind of boring. It's
not super exciting and complicated. The truth about calories, ultra
processed food and why myth busting media sometimes make more myths.
But here's my favorite part of it. The most basic
truth in nutrition is simple and difficult. Caloric surplus drives
weight gain. Caloric deficit drives weight loss. Slow down, I'm Johnny,
(23:58):
I know, I know, I shouldn't. Where do I get
off talking over all your heads? You need to have
a PhD to understand what they're saying. I don't know
why they had to use a term like chloric choleric surplus.
Are you trying to.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Claim if I eat significantly more than I need, I'm
going to gain weight.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
If you take in more than you burn off, you
gain weight. If you take in less than you burn off,
you lose weight. The end, the end, period, Yeah, that's
the end. That's the whole thing. I know, isn't that something?
(24:42):
Caloric surplus drives weight gain, Cloric deficit drives weight loss.
Thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, And as you know, I pointed out my little
vacation in England. We walked five to seven miles a day.
We could eat whatever we wanted.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, getting back now to my standard lifestyle. No,
I gotta be very very careful again anyway. Well that's that.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So the significance of chicken and why I keep bringing
it up in just a moment after a word from
our friends at Webroot, this is so great. You know
how you got like half a dozen companies. Maybe you
have a VPN, I do. I think it's a good idea.
Maybe you have you know, virus protection, maybe you got
fishing protection.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, webroute does it all for you. Yeah, we all
know somebody who has had their bank account hacked and
what a night merit is to get that all fixed.
I mean months of work and your credit score being
affected and you guys say, no, no, no, that wasn't me.
What a mess. That's why we trust Webroot Total Protection.

American institution at which Jack has never eaten.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Is that's still true? Still have not eaten Taco Bell?
Speaker 9 (26:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Ever shocking they got a new CEO who actually came
from Nike, as I recall that we just mentioned earlier.
Oddly enough, anyway, some of the more interesting statistics about
Taco Bell, they used to say, think outside the bond.
Now they're thinking outside the tortilla. They're going to offer
Chrispy Chicken nuggets and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
But I was struck by this. This is where you
normally jump in and say, most people have to pay
for advertisements. Yeah I do, usually yell at don't I yeah, sorry.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So last year, twenty five percent of orders at Taco Bell,
we're chicken chicken oriented, twenty five percent. This year it's
forty percent. There is an explosion in chicken lust among Americans'
fast food consumers. Apparently they're chicken sales at Taco hell
(27:30):
as we used to call it in high school, which
us an unfortunate and slanderous moniker, and I regret it.
Chicken sales have grown fifty percent in the last two
years and are on paced to double to five billion
dollars worth by twenty thirty, increasing interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Poultry when they eat out. What I find interesting about
that is I have found myself, when faced with the
option at a fast forward eatery of the burger, which
I've been getting my whole life, or a chicken thing,
I've been going with the chicken more often. I don't.
I'm not part of a trend or anything. I didn't
discuss this with anybody, not intentionally. Why would we all
(28:06):
of a sudden all decide let's do chicken instead of meat?
That seems a little heavy I'll go with the chicken.
Why all this instead of like red meat?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, I don't have considered chicken meat. Wow, it's Kansas
cattle farmer talking there. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know. It's crazy. Huh.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, they're gonna have like chicken wings and chicken nuggets
and chicken that they're just gonna go kind of Well,
I was gonna say, anything goes, but this is what
our customers ask us for, so we're gonna give it
to it. Well, that'd be a lot that says taco
on the sign, will serve whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
This is America. That'll be our call in topic for
the day. Why eating so much chicken? I'll take your calls.
We got mail bag on the way. Joe's gonna explain
this amazing Seal Team six story that just came out
in the New York Times today. That's something so RFK
Junior highlights. What how close are we to invading a
country down in South America with the Marines, Like it's
(29:01):
Omaha Beach, A whole bunch of stuff on the way
stay here. I wish I had a better understanding of
what wolf right is. Every time I think I got
my head around it. I see something that makes me
think I don't. Yeah, I think there are variations and
(29:22):
the young far right. Yeah, we could talk about that later.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Here's your freedom let me quote of the day, focusing on
British authors.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think this guy's British doesn't really matter. We'll get
back to that Monday. But William Ralph Inge Lincoln actually
said something similar to this. But here's your quote.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in
favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So true.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
If you cannot enforce your will, there's no point in
having will at all. Mailbag trub Us note, would you
mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com keep it
brief if you can less like you're a member of
Seal Team six and want to tell us about the
mission you were on, then field fee to let it.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Rip any This fits in with we'll get to it
hour two, what Europe said about troops on the ground
in Russia and what Putin said back. We'll see how
that turns out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, So first and most importantly, I would like to apologize.
I often say accuracy is my Hallmark, I swung and
I missed yesterday. Probably poor metaphoric. As we're talking about football.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
The tush push has not been out lawed.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Everybody thought it would be, but then at the last
minute the owners said, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And push people's big eye nies into the end zone
if you like. The fans seem to dig it, okay,
so anyway, let's see then.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Speaking of Britain, this is Greg of the Military. All right, Joe,
I can't believe you didn't take the opportunity to get
yourself arrested in the UK. Yeah, I was going to
intentionally run a foul of their unbelievably sickeningly politically correct
anti what do they call it hate speech laws or whatever?
(31:15):
In the UK they've gone way too far and we'll
talk more about that later as well.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Throw you in the Tower of London. You don't want that.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
But Greg says, all it would have taken is speaking
the truth about trans or misgendering some money, or maybe
you could take a WII on the Queen's final resting place.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
No, wait a minute, wait, Greg, why don't you think No,
I was trying to make a point. That's a different thing.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
That's a very difference testing you're not testing vandalism laws,
but he says, referring to maybe talking about the transgender thing,
he suggests a headline that I don't think I should
read on the air. Shock jocked locked for calling.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
A rooster or rooster. Gotcha? Well, that comedian that got
arrested at Heathrow for some anti transgender tweets showed up
to court yesterday and a sandwich board that said there's
no such thing as transgender. So he's going further down
that world. Way to go, brother, world of the.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Free speech cherishing world is one hundred percent on his side,
including a lot of my favorite thinkers. Greg's final note is, Joe,
that was the worst business decision. Blah blah blah. The
show would have blown up like a Venezuelan narco bo.
Let's see moving along. It's the always interesting Pallo. You
guys were talking about technology that makes its way onto
(32:35):
the battlefield AI, specifically an AI driven drone swarms. They're
actually using this in Ukraine now. They send out three drones.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
The drones talk to each other about where to attack
and when no humans being involved, they picked their targets
and come up with strategy. And what did China show
at the parade the other day? Four legged robot wolves wolves? Yeah,
robot wolves, let's see, he says, I wonder if it's
possible that eventually that may turn out to be a
(33:05):
good thing. If technology advances enough, humans will be unable
to effectively engage in compact against it, and the technology
will be so advanced that no human assistances required. Drones
another tech will duke it out to determine the winner. Yet.
I hadn't thought about that. But if that is the future,
and then at some point surrender because you realize we're best.
(33:26):
Did they have better technology or more money or whatever.
There's no point in fighting on and no human beings fight,
So it would become like the NFL or Major League
Baseball that the team with the biggest payroll just wins mostly. Wow,
that's interesting. Cowboys disputed that notion last night until the
lightning came. Yeah yeah, wow, fabulous topic. Let's see.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Side show Bob on the topic of Florida moving to
rescind its vaccination requirements ten years from now, the way
times that the Magic Kingdom are going to be pure
hell with all those kids with polio skipping to the
front of the line.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Oh wow, that Joe Bob against it. Apparently some strong stuff. Yeah,
polio making a comeback, obviously would be just horrific. Oh
my lord, is that even possible? Uh? Yeah, I think so. Sure.
Do they have polio in other parts of the world?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Still, Oh goodness, that's that's actually a very good question.
Once in a great while a case pops up. But
i'd have to look into that. I'm not sure. I'm yeah,
And which kind of brings us indirectly to the whole
RFK junior hearing, and we'll play you some highlights and
low lights later. The fact that there are probably too
(34:41):
many vaccinations and once in a while a kid is
injured by one and the CDC shredded all of its
credibility during COVID does not lead me to rejecting all
of it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
In all cases, maybe need to be geared back a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But the idea that kids shouldn't be getting vaccinations against
these childhood diseases that cause them to die horribly as
you weep and beg the doctors to save their lives
for generations and generations, that's what happened, all right. There's
not some sort of imaginary exercise in selling pharmaceuticals at
the same time. Yeah, big farmers make it zillions of dollars.
(35:23):
You're not wrong about that. The answer, as usual, probably
lies somewhere in the middle. And then let's see do
we have time for this? Aaron with a really intriguing
note about why AI hallucinates. In short, it's because not
really thinking at all. Instead, all the AI models do
is predict what the next word in the sentence should
be given the words so far has huge databases of
(35:44):
training data, looks for what should be next, not calculating anything.
It just keeps redicting what predicting what words should be next,
and that it will find an answer, even if it's
ridiculous or seams made up to human beings. And at
least so far, it doesn't have the human mind to say,
(36:05):
wait a second, that can't be true. It doesn't have
any skepticism well, or just.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Say you know what, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I've been looking at this all day and I can't
figure it out, So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Now we have so much news we've got to get to.
