Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. What's happening, boy.
Russia's been pounding the heck out of Ukraine, trying to
blow up kids waiting in line.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
To go to school, or hospitals or apartment buildings, the
thing that they do. But there are a number of
stories out about how out of oil they are.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
They're out of oil and troops there in Russia.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
There's got to be a limit right on how long
you can prosecute a war like this and cheot through
people and material I would.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Think, right, Yeah, China's super dependent on Iranian oil right
now too, and they just did a big giant new
pipeline type.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah. I don't know, I don't know. This has all
got to well.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
As we've said many times, if something can't go on forever,
it will end, and it's just a question of when.
But yeah, they're they're literally in like carsan for instance,
the Russians are dropping grenades on individual civilians who are
just like getting out of their car to go to work,
just just trying to terrorize the population. In the submission,
so ugly, ugly stuff, A lot of good stuff not
(01:28):
as ugly. To get to this hour, hope you can
stay tuned. But first, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take
a fine look back at the week it was. It's
cow clips of the week, It's clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ooh yeah, maybe I'm doing the Super Bowl half done show.
I wanted you to know that I'm not dying and
I'm not ready to die yet. Oh you're disrespectful, you're entitled,
and you're being preposed right now.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
King James's highly anticipated announcement turned out to be an.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Ad Sanchez again advanced towards the driver, saying, the driver thought,
this guy's trying to kill me.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Both Israel and Hamas have signed on to.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
The first phase of his twenty point piece plan.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The world has come together around this deal.
Speaker 8 (02:23):
It's gotta be a different world.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
You guys have to say, President Trump, you gotta start
working out and put the bottle down, because I really
want to see how this all plays.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, I love it that we need at least fifty
percent of the Palestinian government to be trans women and
two phase reel.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
I toilt this flag that from that man that was
burning it in the streets.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Do you know who he is?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
To it to the Attorney General and let's start prosecutions.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Senator, I don't think a lot of people like to
say we're out with ant fix.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Your vehicle, driven by Border Patrol agents, was allegedly rammed
and boxed in by two cars.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
One of the things I've been dealing with all day
here in Portland is a bunch of pansies. So when
this person is committing six or seven crimes, I didn't
know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as
a child, maybe they're hungry.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And then this is the most stupid thing I think
I've ever witnessed in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You're a complete and total embarrassment. Yeah, you're embarrassing yourself
in your district right now. So I'm anxious to him
MENTU the J. Jones sent texts that imagined shooting the
Republican Speaker of the House.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Can you tell me why my phone records when I'm
the chairman.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the Jack Smith agents.
What do you say to the forty percent of California
voters who you'll need in order to win? Who voted
for Trump? How would I need them in order to win?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Man?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well to those voters.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Okay, so you I don't want to keep doing this,
I'm gonna call it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm thank you, and the state could lose. You're out
of my shop.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm glad I didn't blow up my life this week
the way Katie Porter blew up her life.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
How did Alec Baldwin describe his wife's divorce lawyer once
a harmunngulus with a face like a clenched fist.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I was being kind, Morley, that's Katie Porter. Kerbluey, there
goes your career. What are you gonna do? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Speaking of bad politics, I don't know. I've been itching
to say this because nobody ever does.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
So.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The Supreme Court is going to hear a case wednesday.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I think about redistricting in Louisiana, and it's all about
racial redistricting and a misinterpretation of the Voting Civil Rights
Act and Voting Rights Act I should say and stuff
like that. You know what, nobody ever says. The racial
politics thing yields crappy leadership for the people involved.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You remember, there's a leaked tape la.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
County not long ago, where the Hispanic folks were bad
mouth and the black people on the council and talking
about we got to have our share and they're trying
to take our.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Share and the rest of it. I've seen this over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You get a city, for instance, a majority black city
like Houston or Saint Louis or something like that, and
it's like one party rule where if you are anointed
the black person that will get this office, like a
Maxine Waters or a Jasmine Crockett in Houston or whatever,
(05:47):
you're untouchable. You are ordained by the powers that be
to be the black person that will win. And everybody
comes together because they want to keep that consolidated. But
the losers in that sort of ethnic or racial politics
is always the citizens. They always get bad representation because
(06:09):
it's it's a mob, it's a scam. It's not representative government.
And nobody ever has the balls to say that. But
I just did vote.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you vote for somebody because of their race, or
don't vote for somebody because of the race, you're a
bad person, a bad American and a dope. Yeah, it's
just not just at her heart. Also, right, speaking of
blowing up your life. I was talking to a medical
(06:39):
professional yesterday. I'd never heard this before this what is
she a nurse? I guess she's explaining how easily in
the medical field you can blow up your life by
making a mistake.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh boy, And that I didn't know, And I don't
know if it's fair or a good idea. You know,
we hear every year the total number of deaths due
to mistakes. It's a lot. It's like more than car wrecks. Yeah,
it's like forty thousand people die every year for medical mistakes.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Or something like that number fifty but yeah, it's a
huge number. Yeah, and people make mistakes.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It's impossible to see the picture for the Philadelphia Phillies
last night. People who are really really good, trying the best,
make mistakes sometimes. So I don't know if that but anyway,
she's explaining to me how she was explaining to me
somebody who had gotten in a hurry and gave the
wrong medicines someone, and you know, and obviously it's a
(07:37):
very important thing to do, but it ended up killing
this person and she got a first first, they just
caught the person got sick and they so she got
fired immediately, even before the person had died or whatever,
and the person died, and then she got sued into
like ruin over it and just was a mistake, which
it'd be almost impossible to have a mistake free system.
(08:02):
I think, Yeah, there's got to be different levels of
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I mean, because that sounds incrigeous. Although I don't know
what happens specific I'm guessing it was, but because that
can happen. Everybody is scared to death all the time.
This person was telling me, and lives their lives really scared,
and that can't be good. Oh, Katie is trying to
talk and Hanson is silenced. Misogyny almost certainly, probably racism.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Gating around here is thick Johns Hopkins medicine, according to them,
two hundred and fifty thousand to as high as four
hundred and forty thousand US desks and annually due.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
To medical errors. Oh I can't, Holy crap. Yeah, are
you arguing with Johns Hopkins. I'm arguing with John's. I
kind of trust Hopkins. Yeah, well, anyway, whatever it is,
many tens of thousands, how can you how could you
get have a situation where you get sued into oblivion
if you make a mistake and have that many mistakes
going on, or have people running around scared. I guess
(09:03):
that's my point is that she said, oh yeah, me
and my friends talk about this all the time. We're
just worried to death regularly when we'll make a mistake
and then we're done. We'll never be able to get
hired anywhere ever again, we might get sued to ruin.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think a lot of medical professionals would say, yeah,
our hospital companies intentionally understaff and overwork us to save
money and raise their profits.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was part of running us, you know. Yeah, glad
you brought that up.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That was one of the points they were making, is
that you know, they had been running up and down
several floors because they were short staffed, right, and running
from one pati to another, and just missed one.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, God dank. Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Because like our job, we we regularly say when we're
trying to decide what to talk about next segment, nobody's
gonna die. I mean if we if we decide to
talk about the shutdown instead of Taylor Swift or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm glad I don't have a job with that kind
of pressure.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, no kidding, Oh, speaking of mistakes, And this is
pales in the face of the story you just told.
But you remember how I told you, excuse me, earlier
this week about the plumbing screw up I did that
that almost ruined our newly remodeled kitchen. The floors had
just been done and came through the ceiling and everything.
But the contractors like, no, it's it's okay, don't It'll
(10:14):
be fine.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It was brief of a turns out, it was way
worse than we thought because it hadn't occurred to anybody
to check the room next door, which happened to be
like an attic storage room, entirely carpeted. Gallons of water
had gone in there and had been absorbed and held
by the carpet. And if that room hadn't been carpeted,
(10:38):
a contractor said, we'd have had to start again on
a lot of stuff, which would have meant eight weeks
set back, I mean like months. And I had as
he was telling me this, I had the feeling like
I'd narrowly escaped like a dangerous car wreck, or I
dodged a bullet or something. I was like, I almost went.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Down only cost you your your plumbing mistake could have
personally cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Uh yeah, oh easily easily several tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And what's especially annoying is I've done so much plumbing
and it was such a stupid, careless, tired in a
hurry mistake, you know, like the nurse lady reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is like.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
The teeny tiny mistake that could cost fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And then God to help you if you ever end
up with mold. I had that in my last house.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And depends on what county you live in, when a
state you live in the way they treat it. But
there's a lot of money to be made in the hole.
We found a one spora mold world.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah. So I've been working on my description of plumbing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I think the other day I said you can't fake
plumbing or something like that. Here's here's my new one.
Water doesn't care how hard you tried. It's either gonna
come out or it ain't.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We got a lot on the waist here, something funny
before we get to something semi serious about the Middle
East that I thought was super interesting. This is Jerry
Seinfeld is still fantastic. He is one of the great
observers of uh just life and noticing things that we
(12:23):
all notice, but he comments on them in a way
you know you know what he is. Anyway, this is
on Jimmy Fallon the other night.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Somebody called me h the other day, cell phone called drops,
friend calls back, says, I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Don't know what happened there. You know people do that.
I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Yet no one was hoping or expecting that maybe you
could explain a random micro glitch in an infinitely complex
global telecommunications that way, just at it all back and go.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You were saying, that's all. I don't know what happened there. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Like, I'm gonna go, what do you mean you don't
know what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Were on the phone?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
You heard us got cut off and now you claim
to know nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think you know exactly what happened. Who are you
coming up for? TEA Mobile? What's the team stand for?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Thora that is Oh my gosh, that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I don't know what happened what do you mean you
don't know what happened about microglisten an incredibly complicated global
communication system.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Beautiful, beautiful? Isn't it? Just isn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I didn't hang up on you. Isn't that what you're communicating?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I guess, I guess right. That's I was saying that
funny perfectly, Okay, that is funny. So maybe you've seen
the headline. We're sending a couple of a couple of hundred.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Troops to uh Israel Gaza to do Gaza Israel, right,
But if you know, are familiar with distances in the map,
everything's very very close together in that part of the world.
And again, like I.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Said earlier, they're not sending accountants in suits. They're sending
troops because if something troopy has to happen, you want troops.
And they're sending troops because something troopy could happen is
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I'm hoping it won't and I don't think it will.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But I was just reading this post that IDF soldiers
are celebrating like crazy as they exit the Gaza Strip today.
They'll remain in fact, they'll remain in fifty three percent
of the strip for now, but they're pulling back to
the edges. It's basically a pull back to the edges
that if we have to run back in, we can.
But they're getting away from you know, population centers and
(14:41):
all the sort of sort of stuff, and our soldiers
are going to be far away from it too. But yeah,
they're thrilled. Everybody seems to be thrilled. People in Israel
dancing in the streets. Gozen's dancing in the streets, all
thinking Trump, which is you know, amazing. And Trump is
going on Monday now, it has been an anounced he
will go to Israel on Monday and speak to their government,
(15:03):
which I'm sure he'll get a standing ovation as long
as any have ever happened.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'm sure you saw that cover of the Jerusalem Post
that was captioned their Coming Home, and it was Trump's
silhouette filled out by the portraits of all the hostages
alive and dead were still being held. I hope their
optimism is you know, I hope it comes through. Until
you know, the chicken lays the egg in the Middle East,
you never know. Oh, and I would just there is
(15:31):
one group that is absolutely not happy. And as we said, earlier.
There is one hundred percent certainty that there are splinter
groups within Hamas and allied groups that are absolutely not
down with the peace plan and will be exploding things
and shooting people as soon as possible.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So yes, but sometimes like that was a big concern
when our Civil War ended, that Lee could go to
Appomatics courthouse and say we're done. We give but there's
going to be you knowlshes of Southerners all across the
South that wouldn't stop fighting. But that didn't really happen,
not on the level that they were concerned about. Sometimes
(16:08):
that side, it's small enough the overwhelming you know, most
Southerners wanted it to be over too. They were happy
the war was over. So if you got enough people
happy it's over, they don't they they don't like the
idea of you trying to start it back up again.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I was just thinking some splinter group comes along into
a neighborhood and says, hey, we're going to resist the occupiers,
and the neighborhood is going to say.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
No, you're not. Yeah, I got no more of that.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I got food and electricity for the first time in
two years, and their.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Rebuildings going to school.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, that'll be interesting to What I wonder as
the first point of something getting derailed is if some
of these bodies come back and really rough shape and
it's really obvious what their end was like, or some
of the people that are alive start telling stories that
are like what, yeah, turns the mood.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There's a near one hundred percent chance of that too.
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But like I said, there are elements of Hamas that
are going to wait out the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
But it has been announced Trump will be in Israel
on Monday and on Columbus Day of all important days.
We've got a lot more on the way. Hope you
can stick around if you missed a segment, good.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Podcast, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
How's your weekend looking. You got football, you got playoff baseball?
Depending on where you live. You either got a fantastic
weather or horrible hurricane headed to the southeast.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Is that right? Nah, there's like a northeaster. Oh it's
going to be you know what was crazy? I was
like an old guy.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I was watching the Network of weather coverage last night
and they mentioned that temperatures are going to be like
below freezing at night in parts of the Northeast. You
get used to living in mild climates and that just
seems crazy in October. But anyway, God bless you people
in the northeast.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
May you endure man with the shutdown going on and rain,
that's a rough time. Oh my golly, you make a
terrible point.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Anyway, I was tempted to reset that candidate for Seattle mayor,
Bruce Harrell again, who is talking about how somebody who
commits seven or eight crimes in a row, maybe they're
hungry or had a bad childhood.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't want to jail them, which is just insane.
And we've probably played it enough, but it's like a
train wrecker two headed calf. I just have to keep
looking at it. Have you ever seen it? Have you
actually seen a two headed calf? I have? Uh? In person?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh no, no, Hanson, you've seen that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
No, never have. I'm kind of surprised you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Grown up in South Dakota and in rural parts of America,
those kind of roadside attractions, these my finger quotes or
attractions are semi common. It's basically just deformities.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
You know, see the two headed calf and you pull
over and you go, you pay five bucks and you
go on there and they got variety of horrific mistakes
of nature, and uh, you look at them and then
you walk out and think, why did I do this?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
The cost to my soul was way more than the
three dollars. Yes, oh my god. Oh, speaking of freakazoids,
Before we get to the main topic, that interview at
the pro Palestine rally that we played the other day
with that little guy who was trying to claim Islam
is a transgender religion and the rest of it that
(19:20):
it would appear he may be a troll. Oh really,
that's a hell of a thing to be hanging out
at that rally saying what he was saying.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But it would appear, and who knows.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It is so hard to tell when somebody is parodying
the woke lunatics, whether it's a parody or not.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If it's believable enough, like not even really shocking, then
you've got a problem, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Well, And as you pointed out, people around him Hurd
are saying, yeah, yeah, don't talk to him, he's a Zionist.
That was their only objection to this nonsense he was spouting.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, nobody walked up and said, don't talk to him.
He's a crazy troll. Listen to him. What does he saying.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Mohammad was a trans woman? What is he talking about?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Nobody said that, and that the new Gaza Council needs
to be at least half transgender women. I mean, but again,
it was indistinguishable from a sincere woke person anyway. On
a more significant level, the reason I wanted to replay
the two headed calf Bruce Harrel arguing for not jailing
(20:31):
people who commit eight crimes is how miserable a failure
that philosophy is. And anybody who knows anything about crime
and punishment knows that. And what wonderful timing this is.
We've referenced this before, the Bureau of Justice Statistics National
Crime Victimization Survey, which is so so so much better
(20:55):
a measure of crime, in particular violent crime but all
time than the official government statistics.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And they open this.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Article mentioning that Trump and conservatives say crime is rampant
in US cities is critics in the mainstream media assert
that it's under control and actually dropping.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Crime is down forty percent in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
How many times did we hear that keeping in mind
how incredibly easy it is to distort crime statistics based
on who you say to arrest, who you say to charge,
and what you decide to charge them with. So anyway,
they ask, have our cities become more crime ridden and unpleasant?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Or are they safe and livable?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Newly released data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics National
Crime Victimization Survey go a long way to answering those questions.
The survey finds that the rate of violent crime and
urban areas increased sixty one percent from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Now it's a little down from its peak in like
twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three in some cities,
but there's been an enormous rise since pre George Floyd
and pre pandemic for some reasons that are obvious, you know,
the pullback of policing, the being afraid to police certain neighborhoods,
the rest of it, abandoning the broken windows philosophy. Some
(22:15):
of it might be a little more mysterious.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
But in twenty twenty four, the rate of violent crime
in urban areas is forty six percent higher than the
nationwide rate, and one hundred and four percent higher more
than double the rural rate. Rural and suburban areas have
actually held pretty steady. It's the cities that are going
to hell, the blue cities, mostly where they've embraced woke
policing policies. And the reason this survey is so good
(22:44):
is rather than relying on police reports, which again are
incredibly easy to manipulate, the National Crime Victimization Survey asks
tons and tons of US residents whether they were a
crime victim in recent months. If so, it asks about
the nature of the crime, the demo graphics of those
involved in whether the crime was reported to the police.
It's been conducted since the Nixon administration and it is
(23:05):
by far the most accurate measure of crime.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
How many crimes are reported the police versus as a percentage? Yeah,
great question. I've had a number of crimes in my
life I didn't report to the police because there was
no point.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right right, you know, I've got a handful of stats
you might find interesting. In DC, number of homicides rose
thirteen percent from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Homicide how would report? I go ahead and call the police.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
By the way, if you go back a little bit
farther and study. Yeah, it's a good idea. If you
go back farther just to twenty seventeen and stretch it
to seven years, homicides are up sixty one percent. In Portland,
homicides almost doubled from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
As for the demographics of crime, the survey finds that
the likelihood that whites, blacks, and Hispanics will be victims
of violent crimes essentially matches their percentage of the population.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
A majority.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I understand how stealing cars can go up and down,
or breaking into houses go up down. I've always been
confused how murder rates go up and down.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
A lot of it is young men and gangs. Any
inner city cop will tell you this has been a
pretty good year for gang wars and turf wars.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Wish has just been settled down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
For the benefit of our own mental health, we should
probably separate those out into two completely separate numbers. A
this could actually happen to you murder rate, and A
this ain't going to happen to you unless you're in
a gang murder rate.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I agree, that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Uh So about the primary reason Black residents, oh oh,
some of the demographic stuff. A majority of incidents involving
black victims also featured black offenders, a result not true
for any other racial group, although it was just barely
over fifty percent. The primary reason Black residents weren't disproportionately
likely to be crime victims despite this high rate interracial
(25:01):
intro racial crime is that there are comparatively few crimes
committed against black victims by white offenders. White residents make
up sixty percent of the population, yet were offenders in
only seven percent of incidents involving black victims. The most
overlooked US crime story in recent years has been the
huge crime spike in our cities. Mister Trump is right
(25:21):
that that American cities are not nearly as safe as
they were before systemic racism became a familiar accusation, and
defund the police became a rallying cry. You're not going
to hear the story in many places at all the
journals on it, but almost nobody else is doesn't fit
the narrative you see.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So, hey, Hanson, have we been pitched Ken Burns, the
documentary filmmaker. We should probably reach out to his people
because he's making the Rounds. He started with Joe Rogan,
which is probably a good place to stop start. I
think it's the number one podcast in America. He did
like three hours the other day. Anyway, He's got his
big his latest giant, epic documentary coming out. It's about
(26:05):
the founding of America coming up this fourth of July,
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
this country. And Ken Burns has done a big documentary
and it looks fantastic. I don't know if you've seen
any of the previews, and from what I can tell
from the interviews he's doing, it's not a.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Bunch of woke nonsense, which makes me very very happy.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
It looks really, really great and you know, fully honoring
the amazing thing that it is, this nation being founded
on the principles it was founded on. So I'm looking
forward to that a lot. It'd be nice if we
could have again Burns on fantastic. Yeah, we had him.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
We had him. Note we had him in the studio
one time and we were unhappy with his hair color
in style. Very fortunately, he wears a haircut of a
ten year old boy, and he clearly darkens it. I mean,
just like very clearly a lot of people do. When
to do a documentary on that, a four part series
on your hair, at.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Least four One final note on crime. Baltimore has a
new city State's Attorney, whatever his title was. He's the
DA essentially, and he's a tough on crime democrat, and crime,
especially violent crime, is plunging. He says, hold violent repeat
offenders accountable, especially with illegal handguns. Too many murders for
(27:18):
eight years straight. That's terrible number to have. If you
lock up violent repeat offenders, you hold them accountable. We
invoke mandatory minimums, et cetera. Every compit a miracle. Tell
you I spend ninety percent of month time babysitting the
two percent of the population that commits ninety percent of
the crimes. And this guy said, now that that part
of the population, we're putting them in jail. And again
(27:40):
Baltimore is turning around.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Lock up that tiny percentage and the rest of us
can enjoy, you know, walking our dog through the neighborhood
at night and not haveing to worry about anything. We
will finish strong.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Next, this Connecticut woman is free on a million dollar
bond after she was charged with attempting to murder the
father of her child by pouring anti freeze into his wine.
Thirty three year old Kristin Hogan and her partners shared
this Ridgefield home where in early August, prosecutors say he
fell ill and was hospitalized after consuming wine tainted with
(28:12):
ethylene glycol, a toxic, often colorless and odorless substance in
anti freeze. Will Lease, say Hogan search the Internet for
potassium cyanide and monoethylene glycol, as well as how much
monoethylene glycol would kill you?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
How have you weirdo want to be murderers not caught
onto the fact that somebody is going to check your
googles if your husband drops dead of poison or wife
or boss or whoever.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Well, he almost died, but the good news is he
doesn't get overheated on summer days anymore. Pulling a trailer
up a hill boy poison is the woman's murder weapon.
It is.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was going to mention that there's been quite a
few of these stories, and h you know, it's a
fairly common thing. Terrible that you know, a dog or
a cat will lick up some ani freeze that dripped
out of a car and die from a She probably
got that idea from that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You know why I did that? This husband that I
can't stand anymore, he drops dead, I'm free to go
out and you know, date and have a good time,
good plan.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Nobody you'll look at my computer records at all when
my man mysteriously comes up dead.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, I remember where did we hear this? Did a
cop tell us? Or is this from a book?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Or is it's just in the in the world of
solving problems, If a husband or wife dies, it was
their spouse. If a restaurant burns down, it was the owner.
And then there's like another one.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That is so often true. That's the first place.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You start, right, Yeah, and but so I was wondering
about that, relating it to who's making the joke. It
might have been from the Emmys the other night. It
was about all of the various dateline sorts of shows
on the on about stories like this. She thought she
had met the man of her dreams, but it turned
(30:05):
out he was hiding a dark secret. You know, it
turns out he'd poisoned his last two girlfriends or whatever.
And these real true crime sorts of stories that are very,
very popular, and women just absolutely love them. And psychologically
what is that all about? Every woman I know brings
up watching Dateline on a Friday night and Kate true
(30:26):
crimes podcasts, and Katie nods her head fall asleep to
murder documentaries. Yeah, so you and your friends, every woman
in America Friday night, if you're not you know, out
at the club, you're watching Dateline to see some horrible boyfriend, husband,
murderer something sort of. What what is the appeal? Why
do you think it's more appealing to women than men?
(30:47):
It seems to be more of a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I don't know that.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
I know, I'm attracted to the murder mystery and the
law enforcement aspect of it. It's not and it's not
always women killing their husbands. It's just any form of.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Crime, right, but usually the opposite on those shows, because
they're for women. Yeah, you know, I've actually well, go ahead, No.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
That was pretty I just I don't really know how
any rhyme or reason to it.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I've talked to my daughter about this a lot, because
she is becoming an attorney and is a true crimes
podcast freak, and so we've talked about the psychology of it,
and part of it is the old saw about why
people like horror movies. It's a way to deal with
your fears. Once removed, it's not actually in your life,
(31:31):
but you can kind of process your fear of that.
And the second thing is she thinks women are really
intent on figuring out how to avoid that. So if
they can see examples of when it happens, connecting with
the wrong guy and becoming a victim, if they can
start to get smart about the earmarks and what to
look out for, they feel more protected.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was from the Emmys.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
It was Nate Bargatzi, who was playing the character of
Filo Farnsworth, who invented tell vision, and this was old timing.
They're asking him what will television do and he said,
you know, we'll have true crime stories on at night.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Will they're solve crimes? Would anybody watch that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Your wife, my wife, everyone's Wife's a joke and it's
true and you know what you described, So that's interesting.
So and none of this is a one hundred percent,
But mostly guys watch sports because it's a simulation for war.
Women watch these true crimes things because it's a simulation
for how do I keep the village safe and spot
(32:31):
the bad person.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, and it's very evolutionary. I watched a.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
Particular horror movie the other day that encapsulated all of
my biggest fears, like home invasion, phone calls from people
that I don't know, like a mysterious voice. It was
like all of the things that make my skin crawl.
And my husband watching say why are you watching this one?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I don't badlong b headline. The other day I saw
this on Twitter. Why am I so depressed? Asks wife
who listens to eight hours of murder podcasts a day?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Touche. Yeah, I know, I remember clearly.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
It's just the thing. But I remember when my wife
was pregnant with our first kid, and she was constantly
watching these stories about you know, husband's dads that turned
out to be monsters, Like is this what you want
to watch when you're pregnant?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But I guess yeah, it helps you think you can
look out for that person. I guess YEP.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Final thoughts.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
They are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody
knows it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
There's sir, good job on the peace deal, mister president.
By the way, Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
You should have gotten the Nobel Prize day instead of
that woman from somewhere Venezuelan woman.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Armstrong and geddy. Final thoughts. Here's your host, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Michael Aangelow is off today. Mike Hanson filling in Hanson.
Do you have a final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
We talked about the Phillies pitcher who blew the game
last night, and when you know, I wondered if he
was done or not he's cooked.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
The Phillies fans will cast their verdict. Get out of here,
you bum is what they're gonna se So I wonder
if he's gonna have to leave town go to Tampa.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Yeah, Katie Green are esteemed newswoman.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
You're talking about working out earlier, and I had a
workout yesterday that just made me realize I am not
as strong as I think I am.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Nah. Yeah, yeah, sounds like we're out of time. Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, Armstrong and Getdy wracking up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So many people, thanks, so little time. Go to Armstrong
getdy dot com. A lot of great clicks there for you.
Check out the hotlinks. They are good every single day

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Buy some swag, watch some videos, and then comment on
how much you hate the show. A lot of people
seem to do that too. That's a fun thing to
do on a weekend. Armstrong and Getty done with another show.
We will see you next week.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
God bless America. Armstrong and Geeddy. There's a freaking war
going on. Well, you're being a wise guy with me
a little bit. I think that you may be overegging
the pudding. Enough talk. It's a little too much.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Donkey dog, I haven't said a word, so stop yelling
at me.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
We must together work together.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Come on, whip up animus. The left against the right,
the right against the left.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Animals pep animus, great Friday Mother, armstrong and geddy
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. What's happening, boy.
Russia's been pounding the heck out of Ukraine, trying to
blow up kids waiting in line.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
To go to school, or hospitals or apartment buildings, the
thing that they do. But there are a number of
stories out about how out of oil they are.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
They're out of oil and troops there in Russia.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
There's got to be a limit right on how long
you can prosecute a war like this and cheot through
people and material I would.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Think, right, Yeah, China's super dependent on Iranian oil right
now too, and they just did a big giant new
pipeline type.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah. I don't know, I don't know. This has all
got to well.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
As we've said many times, if something can't go on forever,
it will end, and it's just a question of when.
But yeah, they're they're literally in like carsan for instance,
the Russians are dropping grenades on individual civilians who are
just like getting out of their car to go to work,
just just trying to terrorize the population. In the submission,
so ugly, ugly stuff, A lot of good stuff not
(01:28):
as ugly. To get to this hour, hope you can
stay tuned. But first, it's the Friday tradition. Let's take
a fine look back at the week it was. It's
cow clips of the week, It's clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Ooh yeah, maybe I'm doing the Super Bowl half done show.
I wanted you to know that I'm not dying and
I'm not ready to die yet. Oh you're disrespectful, you're entitled,
and you're being preposed right now.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
King James's highly anticipated announcement turned out to be an.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Ad Sanchez again advanced towards the driver, saying, the driver thought,
this guy's trying to kill me.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Both Israel and Hamas have signed on to.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
The first phase of his twenty point piece plan.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The world has come together around this deal.
Speaker 8 (02:23):
It's gotta be a different world.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
You guys have to say, President Trump, you gotta start
working out and put the bottle down, because I really
want to see how this all plays.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, I love it that we need at least fifty
percent of the Palestinian government to be trans women and
two phase reel.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
I toilt this flag that from that man that was
burning it in the streets.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Do you know who he is?
Speaker 6 (02:52):
To it to the Attorney General and let's start prosecutions.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Senator, I don't think a lot of people like to
say we're out with ant fix.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Your vehicle, driven by Border Patrol agents, was allegedly rammed
and boxed in by two cars.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
One of the things I've been dealing with all day
here in Portland is a bunch of pansies. So when
this person is committing six or seven crimes, I didn't
know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as
a child, maybe they're hungry.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And then this is the most stupid thing I think
I've ever witnessed in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You're a complete and total embarrassment. Yeah, you're embarrassing yourself
in your district right now. So I'm anxious to him
MENTU the J. Jones sent texts that imagined shooting the
Republican Speaker of the House.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Can you tell me why my phone records when I'm
the chairman.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the Jack Smith agents.
What do you say to the forty percent of California
voters who you'll need in order to win? Who voted
for Trump? How would I need them in order to win?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Man?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Well to those voters.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
Okay, so you I don't want to keep doing this,
I'm gonna call it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm thank you, and the state could lose. You're out
of my shop.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm glad I didn't blow up my life this week
the way Katie Porter blew up her life.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
How did Alec Baldwin describe his wife's divorce lawyer once
a harmunngulus with a face like a clenched fist.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I was being kind, Morley, that's Katie Porter. Kerbluey, there
goes your career. What are you gonna do? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Speaking of bad politics, I don't know. I've been itching
to say this because nobody ever does.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
So.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The Supreme Court is going to hear a case wednesday.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I think about redistricting in Louisiana, and it's all about
racial redistricting and a misinterpretation of the Voting Civil Rights
Act and Voting Rights Act I should say and stuff
like that. You know what, nobody ever says. The racial
politics thing yields crappy leadership for the people involved.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You remember, there's a leaked tape la.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
County not long ago, where the Hispanic folks were bad
mouth and the black people on the council and talking
about we got to have our share and they're trying
to take our.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Share and the rest of it. I've seen this over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
You get a city, for instance, a majority black city
like Houston or Saint Louis or something like that, and
it's like one party rule where if you are anointed
the black person that will get this office, like a
Maxine Waters or a Jasmine Crockett in Houston or whatever,
(05:47):
you're untouchable. You are ordained by the powers that be
to be the black person that will win. And everybody
comes together because they want to keep that consolidated. But
the losers in that sort of ethnic or racial politics
is always the citizens. They always get bad representation because
(06:09):
it's it's a mob, it's a scam. It's not representative government.
And nobody ever has the balls to say that. But
I just did vote.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you vote for somebody because of their race, or
don't vote for somebody because of the race, you're a
bad person, a bad American and a dope. Yeah, it's
just not just at her heart. Also, right, speaking of
blowing up your life. I was talking to a medical
(06:39):
professional yesterday. I'd never heard this before this what is
she a nurse? I guess she's explaining how easily in
the medical field you can blow up your life by
making a mistake.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh boy, And that I didn't know, And I don't
know if it's fair or a good idea. You know,
we hear every year the total number of deaths due
to mistakes. It's a lot. It's like more than car wrecks. Yeah,
it's like forty thousand people die every year for medical mistakes.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Or something like that number fifty but yeah, it's a
huge number. Yeah, and people make mistakes.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It's impossible to see the picture for the Philadelphia Phillies
last night. People who are really really good, trying the best,
make mistakes sometimes. So I don't know if that but anyway,
she's explaining to me how she was explaining to me
somebody who had gotten in a hurry and gave the
wrong medicines someone, and you know, and obviously it's a
(07:37):
very important thing to do, but it ended up killing
this person and she got a first first, they just
caught the person got sick and they so she got
fired immediately, even before the person had died or whatever,
and the person died, and then she got sued into
like ruin over it and just was a mistake, which
it'd be almost impossible to have a mistake free system.
(08:02):
I think, Yeah, there's got to be different levels of
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I mean, because that sounds incrigeous. Although I don't know
what happens specific I'm guessing it was, but because that
can happen. Everybody is scared to death all the time.
This person was telling me, and lives their lives really scared,
and that can't be good. Oh, Katie is trying to
talk and Hanson is silenced. Misogyny almost certainly, probably racism.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
Gating around here is thick Johns Hopkins medicine, according to them,
two hundred and fifty thousand to as high as four
hundred and forty thousand US desks and annually due.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
To medical errors. Oh I can't, Holy crap. Yeah, are
you arguing with Johns Hopkins. I'm arguing with John's. I
kind of trust Hopkins. Yeah, well, anyway, whatever it is,
many tens of thousands, how can you how could you
get have a situation where you get sued into oblivion
if you make a mistake and have that many mistakes
going on, or have people running around scared. I guess
(09:03):
that's my point is that she said, oh yeah, me
and my friends talk about this all the time. We're
just worried to death regularly when we'll make a mistake
and then we're done. We'll never be able to get
hired anywhere ever again, we might get sued to ruin.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I think a lot of medical professionals would say, yeah,
our hospital companies intentionally understaff and overwork us to save
money and raise their profits.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That was part of running us, you know. Yeah, glad
you brought that up.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That was one of the points they were making, is
that you know, they had been running up and down
several floors because they were short staffed, right, and running
from one pati to another, and just missed one.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, God dank. Can you imagine?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Because like our job, we we regularly say when we're
trying to decide what to talk about next segment, nobody's
gonna die. I mean if we if we decide to
talk about the shutdown instead of Taylor Swift or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I'm glad I don't have a job with that kind
of pressure.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, no kidding, Oh, speaking of mistakes, And this is
pales in the face of the story you just told.
But you remember how I told you, excuse me, earlier
this week about the plumbing screw up I did that
that almost ruined our newly remodeled kitchen. The floors had
just been done and came through the ceiling and everything.
But the contractors like, no, it's it's okay, don't It'll
(10:14):
be fine.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It was brief of a turns out, it was way
worse than we thought because it hadn't occurred to anybody
to check the room next door, which happened to be
like an attic storage room, entirely carpeted. Gallons of water
had gone in there and had been absorbed and held
by the carpet. And if that room hadn't been carpeted,
(10:38):
a contractor said, we'd have had to start again on
a lot of stuff, which would have meant eight weeks
set back, I mean like months. And I had as
he was telling me this, I had the feeling like
I'd narrowly escaped like a dangerous car wreck, or I
dodged a bullet or something. I was like, I almost went.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Down only cost you your your plumbing mistake could have
personally cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Uh yeah, oh easily easily several tens of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And what's especially annoying is I've done so much plumbing
and it was such a stupid, careless, tired in a
hurry mistake, you know, like the nurse lady reminded me of.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is like.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
The teeny tiny mistake that could cost fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And then God to help you if you ever end
up with mold. I had that in my last house.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And depends on what county you live in, when a
state you live in the way they treat it. But
there's a lot of money to be made in the hole.
We found a one spora mold world.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah. So I've been working on my description of plumbing.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I think the other day I said you can't fake
plumbing or something like that. Here's here's my new one.
Water doesn't care how hard you tried. It's either gonna
come out or it ain't.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We got a lot on the waist here, something funny
before we get to something semi serious about the Middle
East that I thought was super interesting. This is Jerry
Seinfeld is still fantastic. He is one of the great
observers of uh just life and noticing things that we
(12:23):
all notice, but he comments on them in a way
you know you know what he is. Anyway, this is
on Jimmy Fallon the other night.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Somebody called me h the other day, cell phone called drops,
friend calls back, says, I.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Don't know what happened there. You know people do that.
I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Yet no one was hoping or expecting that maybe you
could explain a random micro glitch in an infinitely complex
global telecommunications that way, just at it all back and go.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You were saying, that's all. I don't know what happened there. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
Like, I'm gonna go, what do you mean you don't
know what happened?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Were on the phone?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
You heard us got cut off and now you claim
to know nothing about it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think you know exactly what happened. Who are you
coming up for? TEA Mobile? What's the team stand for?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Thora that is Oh my gosh, that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I don't know what happened what do you mean you
don't know what happened about microglisten an incredibly complicated global
communication system.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Beautiful, beautiful? Isn't it? Just isn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
I didn't hang up on you. Isn't that what you're communicating?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I guess, I guess right. That's I was saying that
funny perfectly, Okay, that is funny. So maybe you've seen
the headline. We're sending a couple of a couple of hundred.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Troops to uh Israel Gaza to do Gaza Israel, right,
But if you know, are familiar with distances in the map,
everything's very very close together in that part of the world.
And again, like I.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Said earlier, they're not sending accountants in suits. They're sending
troops because if something troopy has to happen, you want troops.
And they're sending troops because something troopy could happen is
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I'm hoping it won't and I don't think it will.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But I was just reading this post that IDF soldiers
are celebrating like crazy as they exit the Gaza Strip today.
They'll remain in fact, they'll remain in fifty three percent
of the strip for now, but they're pulling back to
the edges. It's basically a pull back to the edges
that if we have to run back in, we can.
But they're getting away from you know, population centers and
(14:41):
all the sort of sort of stuff, and our soldiers
are going to be far away from it too. But yeah,
they're thrilled. Everybody seems to be thrilled. People in Israel
dancing in the streets. Gozen's dancing in the streets, all
thinking Trump, which is you know, amazing. And Trump is
going on Monday now, it has been an anounced he
will go to Israel on Monday and speak to their government,
(15:03):
which I'm sure he'll get a standing ovation as long
as any have ever happened.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'm sure you saw that cover of the Jerusalem Post
that was captioned their Coming Home, and it was Trump's
silhouette filled out by the portraits of all the hostages
alive and dead were still being held. I hope their
optimism is you know, I hope it comes through. Until
you know, the chicken lays the egg in the Middle East,
you never know. Oh, and I would just there is
(15:31):
one group that is absolutely not happy. And as we said, earlier.
There is one hundred percent certainty that there are splinter
groups within Hamas and allied groups that are absolutely not
down with the peace plan and will be exploding things
and shooting people as soon as possible.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So yes, but sometimes like that was a big concern
when our Civil War ended, that Lee could go to
Appomatics courthouse and say we're done. We give but there's
going to be you knowlshes of Southerners all across the
South that wouldn't stop fighting. But that didn't really happen,
not on the level that they were concerned about. Sometimes
(16:08):
that side, it's small enough the overwhelming you know, most
Southerners wanted it to be over too. They were happy
the war was over. So if you got enough people
happy it's over, they don't they they don't like the
idea of you trying to start it back up again.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I was just thinking some splinter group comes along into
a neighborhood and says, hey, we're going to resist the occupiers,
and the neighborhood is going to say.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
No, you're not. Yeah, I got no more of that.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I got food and electricity for the first time in
two years, and their.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Rebuildings going to school.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, that'll be interesting to What I wonder as
the first point of something getting derailed is if some
of these bodies come back and really rough shape and
it's really obvious what their end was like, or some
of the people that are alive start telling stories that
are like what, yeah, turns the mood.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
There's a near one hundred percent chance of that too.
Oh boy.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But like I said, there are elements of Hamas that
are going to wait out the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
But it has been announced Trump will be in Israel
on Monday and on Columbus Day of all important days.
We've got a lot more on the way. Hope you
can stick around if you missed a segment, good.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Podcast, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
How's your weekend looking. You got football, you got playoff baseball?
Depending on where you live. You either got a fantastic
weather or horrible hurricane headed to the southeast.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Is that right? Nah, there's like a northeaster. Oh it's
going to be you know what was crazy? I was
like an old guy.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I was watching the Network of weather coverage last night
and they mentioned that temperatures are going to be like
below freezing at night in parts of the Northeast. You
get used to living in mild climates and that just
seems crazy in October. But anyway, God bless you people
in the northeast.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
May you endure man with the shutdown going on and rain,
that's a rough time. Oh my golly, you make a
terrible point.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Anyway, I was tempted to reset that candidate for Seattle mayor,
Bruce Harrell again, who is talking about how somebody who
commits seven or eight crimes in a row, maybe they're
hungry or had a bad childhood.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't want to jail them, which is just insane.
And we've probably played it enough, but it's like a
train wrecker two headed calf. I just have to keep
looking at it. Have you ever seen it? Have you
actually seen a two headed calf? I have? Uh? In person?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh no, no, Hanson, you've seen that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
No, never have. I'm kind of surprised you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Grown up in South Dakota and in rural parts of America,
those kind of roadside attractions, these my finger quotes or
attractions are semi common. It's basically just deformities.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
You know, see the two headed calf and you pull
over and you go, you pay five bucks and you
go on there and they got variety of horrific mistakes
of nature, and uh, you look at them and then
you walk out and think, why did I do this?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
The cost to my soul was way more than the
three dollars. Yes, oh my god. Oh, speaking of freakazoids,
Before we get to the main topic, that interview at
the pro Palestine rally that we played the other day
with that little guy who was trying to claim Islam
is a transgender religion and the rest of it that
(19:20):
it would appear he may be a troll. Oh really,
that's a hell of a thing to be hanging out
at that rally saying what he was saying.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
But it would appear, and who knows.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It is so hard to tell when somebody is parodying
the woke lunatics, whether it's a parody or not.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If it's believable enough, like not even really shocking, then
you've got a problem, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Well, And as you pointed out, people around him Hurd
are saying, yeah, yeah, don't talk to him, he's a Zionist.
That was their only objection to this nonsense he was spouting.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah, nobody walked up and said, don't talk to him.
He's a crazy troll. Listen to him. What does he saying.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Mohammad was a trans woman? What is he talking about?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Nobody said that, and that the new Gaza Council needs
to be at least half transgender women. I mean, but again,
it was indistinguishable from a sincere woke person anyway. On
a more significant level, the reason I wanted to replay
the two headed calf Bruce Harrel arguing for not jailing
(20:31):
people who commit eight crimes is how miserable a failure
that philosophy is. And anybody who knows anything about crime
and punishment knows that. And what wonderful timing this is.
We've referenced this before, the Bureau of Justice Statistics National
Crime Victimization Survey, which is so so so much better
(20:55):
a measure of crime, in particular violent crime but all
time than the official government statistics.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And they open this.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Article mentioning that Trump and conservatives say crime is rampant
in US cities is critics in the mainstream media assert
that it's under control and actually dropping.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Crime is down forty percent in Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
How many times did we hear that keeping in mind
how incredibly easy it is to distort crime statistics based
on who you say to arrest, who you say to charge,
and what you decide to charge them with. So anyway,
they ask, have our cities become more crime ridden and unpleasant?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Or are they safe and livable?
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Newly released data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics National
Crime Victimization Survey go a long way to answering those questions.
The survey finds that the rate of violent crime and
urban areas increased sixty one percent from twenty nineteen to
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Now it's a little down from its peak in like
twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three in some cities,
but there's been an enormous rise since pre George Floyd
and pre pandemic for some reasons that are obvious, you know,
the pullback of policing, the being afraid to police certain neighborhoods,
the rest of it, abandoning the broken windows philosophy. Some
(22:15):
of it might be a little more mysterious.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
But in twenty twenty four, the rate of violent crime
in urban areas is forty six percent higher than the
nationwide rate, and one hundred and four percent higher more
than double the rural rate. Rural and suburban areas have
actually held pretty steady. It's the cities that are going
to hell, the blue cities, mostly where they've embraced woke
policing policies. And the reason this survey is so good
(22:44):
is rather than relying on police reports, which again are
incredibly easy to manipulate, the National Crime Victimization Survey asks
tons and tons of US residents whether they were a
crime victim in recent months. If so, it asks about
the nature of the crime, the demo graphics of those
involved in whether the crime was reported to the police.
It's been conducted since the Nixon administration and it is
(23:05):
by far the most accurate measure of crime.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
How many crimes are reported the police versus as a percentage? Yeah,
great question. I've had a number of crimes in my
life I didn't report to the police because there was
no point.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right right, you know, I've got a handful of stats
you might find interesting. In DC, number of homicides rose
thirteen percent from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Homicide how would report? I go ahead and call the police.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
By the way, if you go back a little bit
farther and study. Yeah, it's a good idea. If you
go back farther just to twenty seventeen and stretch it
to seven years, homicides are up sixty one percent. In Portland,
homicides almost doubled from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
As for the demographics of crime, the survey finds that
the likelihood that whites, blacks, and Hispanics will be victims
of violent crimes essentially matches their percentage of the population.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
A majority.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I understand how stealing cars can go up and down,
or breaking into houses go up down. I've always been
confused how murder rates go up and down.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
A lot of it is young men and gangs. Any
inner city cop will tell you this has been a
pretty good year for gang wars and turf wars.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Wish has just been settled down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
For the benefit of our own mental health, we should
probably separate those out into two completely separate numbers. A
this could actually happen to you murder rate, and A
this ain't going to happen to you unless you're in
a gang murder rate.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I agree, that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Uh So about the primary reason Black residents, oh oh,
some of the demographic stuff. A majority of incidents involving
black victims also featured black offenders, a result not true
for any other racial group, although it was just barely
over fifty percent. The primary reason Black residents weren't disproportionately
likely to be crime victims despite this high rate interracial
(25:01):
intro racial crime is that there are comparatively few crimes
committed against black victims by white offenders. White residents make
up sixty percent of the population, yet were offenders in
only seven percent of incidents involving black victims. The most
overlooked US crime story in recent years has been the
huge crime spike in our cities. Mister Trump is right
(25:21):
that that American cities are not nearly as safe as
they were before systemic racism became a familiar accusation, and
defund the police became a rallying cry. You're not going
to hear the story in many places at all the
journals on it, but almost nobody else is doesn't fit
the narrative you see.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So, hey, Hanson, have we been pitched Ken Burns, the
documentary filmmaker. We should probably reach out to his people
because he's making the Rounds. He started with Joe Rogan,
which is probably a good place to stop start. I
think it's the number one podcast in America. He did
like three hours the other day. Anyway, He's got his
big his latest giant, epic documentary coming out. It's about
(26:05):
the founding of America coming up this fourth of July,
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
this country. And Ken Burns has done a big documentary
and it looks fantastic. I don't know if you've seen
any of the previews, and from what I can tell
from the interviews he's doing, it's not a.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Bunch of woke nonsense, which makes me very very happy.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
It looks really, really great and you know, fully honoring
the amazing thing that it is, this nation being founded
on the principles it was founded on. So I'm looking
forward to that a lot. It'd be nice if we
could have again Burns on fantastic. Yeah, we had him.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
We had him. Note we had him in the studio
one time and we were unhappy with his hair color
in style. Very fortunately, he wears a haircut of a
ten year old boy, and he clearly darkens it. I mean,
just like very clearly a lot of people do. When
to do a documentary on that, a four part series
on your hair, at.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Least four One final note on crime. Baltimore has a
new city State's Attorney, whatever his title was. He's the
DA essentially, and he's a tough on crime democrat, and crime,
especially violent crime, is plunging. He says, hold violent repeat
offenders accountable, especially with illegal handguns. Too many murders for
(27:18):
eight years straight. That's terrible number to have. If you
lock up violent repeat offenders, you hold them accountable. We
invoke mandatory minimums, et cetera. Every compit a miracle. Tell
you I spend ninety percent of month time babysitting the
two percent of the population that commits ninety percent of
the crimes. And this guy said, now that that part
of the population, we're putting them in jail. And again
(27:40):
Baltimore is turning around.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Lock up that tiny percentage and the rest of us
can enjoy, you know, walking our dog through the neighborhood
at night and not haveing to worry about anything. We
will finish strong.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
Next, this Connecticut woman is free on a million dollar
bond after she was charged with attempting to murder the
father of her child by pouring anti freeze into his wine.
Thirty three year old Kristin Hogan and her partners shared
this Ridgefield home where in early August, prosecutors say he
fell ill and was hospitalized after consuming wine tainted with
(28:12):
ethylene glycol, a toxic, often colorless and odorless substance in
anti freeze. Will Lease, say Hogan search the Internet for
potassium cyanide and monoethylene glycol, as well as how much
monoethylene glycol would kill you?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
How have you weirdo want to be murderers not caught
onto the fact that somebody is going to check your
googles if your husband drops dead of poison or wife
or boss or whoever.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Well, he almost died, but the good news is he
doesn't get overheated on summer days anymore. Pulling a trailer
up a hill boy poison is the woman's murder weapon.
It is.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was going to mention that there's been quite a
few of these stories, and h you know, it's a
fairly common thing. Terrible that you know, a dog or
a cat will lick up some ani freeze that dripped
out of a car and die from a She probably
got that idea from that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
You know why I did that? This husband that I
can't stand anymore, he drops dead, I'm free to go
out and you know, date and have a good time,
good plan.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Nobody you'll look at my computer records at all when
my man mysteriously comes up dead.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, I remember where did we hear this? Did a
cop tell us? Or is this from a book?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Or is it's just in the in the world of
solving problems, If a husband or wife dies, it was
their spouse. If a restaurant burns down, it was the owner.
And then there's like another one.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
That is so often true. That's the first place.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You start, right, Yeah, and but so I was wondering
about that, relating it to who's making the joke. It
might have been from the Emmys the other night. It
was about all of the various dateline sorts of shows
on the on about stories like this. She thought she
had met the man of her dreams, but it turned
(30:05):
out he was hiding a dark secret. You know, it
turns out he'd poisoned his last two girlfriends or whatever.
And these real true crime sorts of stories that are very,
very popular, and women just absolutely love them. And psychologically
what is that all about? Every woman I know brings
up watching Dateline on a Friday night and Kate true
(30:26):
crimes podcasts, and Katie nods her head fall asleep to
murder documentaries. Yeah, so you and your friends, every woman
in America Friday night, if you're not you know, out
at the club, you're watching Dateline to see some horrible boyfriend, husband,
murderer something sort of. What what is the appeal? Why
do you think it's more appealing to women than men?
(30:47):
It seems to be more of a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I don't know that.
Speaker 9 (30:49):
I know, I'm attracted to the murder mystery and the
law enforcement aspect of it. It's not and it's not
always women killing their husbands. It's just any form of.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Crime, right, but usually the opposite on those shows, because
they're for women. Yeah, you know, I've actually well, go ahead, No.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
That was pretty I just I don't really know how
any rhyme or reason to it.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I've talked to my daughter about this a lot, because
she is becoming an attorney and is a true crimes
podcast freak, and so we've talked about the psychology of it,
and part of it is the old saw about why
people like horror movies. It's a way to deal with
your fears. Once removed, it's not actually in your life,
(31:31):
but you can kind of process your fear of that.
And the second thing is she thinks women are really
intent on figuring out how to avoid that. So if
they can see examples of when it happens, connecting with
the wrong guy and becoming a victim, if they can
start to get smart about the earmarks and what to
look out for, they feel more protected.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
It was from the Emmys.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
It was Nate Bargatzi, who was playing the character of
Filo Farnsworth, who invented tell vision, and this was old timing.
They're asking him what will television do and he said,
you know, we'll have true crime stories on at night.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Will they're solve crimes? Would anybody watch that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Your wife, my wife, everyone's Wife's a joke and it's
true and you know what you described, So that's interesting.
So and none of this is a one hundred percent,
But mostly guys watch sports because it's a simulation for war.
Women watch these true crimes things because it's a simulation
for how do I keep the village safe and spot
(32:31):
the bad person.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, and it's very evolutionary. I watched a.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
Particular horror movie the other day that encapsulated all of
my biggest fears, like home invasion, phone calls from people
that I don't know, like a mysterious voice. It was
like all of the things that make my skin crawl.
And my husband watching say why are you watching this one?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I don't badlong b headline. The other day I saw
this on Twitter. Why am I so depressed? Asks wife
who listens to eight hours of murder podcasts a day?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Touche. Yeah, I know, I remember clearly.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
It's just the thing. But I remember when my wife
was pregnant with our first kid, and she was constantly
watching these stories about you know, husband's dads that turned
out to be monsters, Like is this what you want
to watch when you're pregnant?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
But I guess yeah, it helps you think you can
look out for that person. I guess YEP.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Final thoughts.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
They are right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody
knows it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
There's sir, good job on the peace deal, mister president.
By the way, Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
You should have gotten the Nobel Prize day instead of
that woman from somewhere Venezuelan woman.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Armstrong and geddy. Final thoughts. Here's your host, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Michael Aangelow is off today. Mike Hanson filling in Hanson.
Do you have a final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
We talked about the Phillies pitcher who blew the game
last night, and when you know, I wondered if he
was done or not he's cooked.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
The Phillies fans will cast their verdict. Get out of here,
you bum is what they're gonna se So I wonder
if he's gonna have to leave town go to Tampa.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Yeah, Katie Green are esteemed newswoman.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 9 (34:14):
You're talking about working out earlier, and I had a
workout yesterday that just made me realize I am not
as strong as I think I am.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Nah. Yeah, yeah, sounds like we're out of time. Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, Armstrong and Getdy wracking up another grueling four hour workday.

the pudding. Enough talk. It's a little too much.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
Donkey dog, I haven't said a word, so stop yelling
at me.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
