Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy. A brand new
(00:25):
monkey species has been discovered. You wouldn't think that could
still happen on planet Earth in the year twenty twenty six.
But they discovered a brand new monkey saw. Then.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, if you're bored with the standard monkeys, good news, I'll.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Tell you about that coming up. So Presidential election twenty
eight Republican side, the most dumbed down version is Marco
Rubio versus JD. Vance. Four people names will probably emerge
that you don't even know or I don't even know,
but Jdvans versus Marco Rubio. JD Vance the current sitting
(00:58):
Vice President, who I don't know exactly what or who
he is because he's been a number of different things.
He was on Joe Rogan the other day for like
three hours or something. Ah man, I heard him getting
killed by a lot of different corners.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well I'll kill him for this, absolutely dropping his pants
for the it's the Jews crowd, shameless, disgusting, mortifying anyway, Yeah,
Mark Calpern thought it was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Jd Vance went on there and some of the things
that he said I was obscene. So then you got
Marco Rubio, who is the sitting Secretary of State, who
is very verbally gifted. So's jd Vance. Well, actually, back
to jd Vance the fact that he is so verbally
gifted see Trump. Trump's verbally gifted in a weird way.
(01:50):
But he also sometimes just says stuff because of the
way his brain works that he doesn't really mean or
he should have said it differently. Jd Vance is not
saying anything by accident. So none of that stuff he
said on Joe Rogan was like a slip of the
tongue or I'm sorry, I didn't think that through.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, it is, as the Brits say, too clever by half.
He's really trying to get that crowd consolidated behind him,
the anti Semitic New Right. Anyway, Marco meanwhile, who I
am a great admirer of, gave a speech and I'm
trying to read this print. It's super tiny. It was
(02:27):
a big sincatorium about leftism, militant leftism, leftist violence, and
communism in short, and he absolutely brought the thunder. He
had kind of two main points, one being the violence
coming from the left and then the false promises of
the left. Here's a nice sample of the first theme.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
More than eighty percent of radical violence is now driven
by far left and anarchist actors. These are not abstract statistics.
Americans have seen what those numbers mean. And all out
assault on our immigration officers, sniper attacks, explosives, armed ambushes,
a transgender shooter opening fire on Catholic elementary school students
(03:10):
as they pray, his gun marked with slogans like where
is your God now? A healthcare executive executed in cold
blood in the streets, multiple assassination attempts on a sitting president,
and the murder of the greatest conservative activist of a generation,
a man who happened to also be a husband and
(03:33):
the father of two young children, shot and killed while
speaking to a crowd of students.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And he makes a point that this is a distinctive evil.
It's the worst against the best. This is what radical
leftism is. It's trying to tear people down.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So you're ready to move on to the socialism part? Sure,
so does he start with that at eighty two or
eighty three of them this list. I listened to the
clips last night, and I listened to his speech or
has heard the socialism part of the speech, but I
don't know how it's broken out. It's all good. Let's
just start from eighty two, Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place
and time. They can call themselves anti capitalists or anti imperialists,
or communists or anarchists or Marxists, but the fundamental character
is always the same. It's always the same. It is
a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and
(04:30):
justice and liberation and overwhelming need to tear down what
greater men have built, to wreck what is beautiful and
what is right on behalf of people who are only
filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah. We played the clip of Bertrand Russell a while back,
and this was in black and white. He said this
in the fifties or something, one of your thinkers, and
i'd never heard it. Heard set that plainly, and I
will think about it differently for the rest of my life.
Not about helping the downtrodden, It's about bringing down the successful,
(05:06):
because it is the politics of envy. It's some sort
of weird they have more than me, and I'm going
to stop them from having stuff. But that doesn't work,
so you have to claim it's about helping the working class.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right right, It's the politics of envy, of blame, and
it's almost always the young, disaffected, educated who don't have
the lives they think they ought to have, and so
they need somebody to blame. And you throw in, oh,
I get stuff without trying. That sounds great too. That's
what it is. That's what it's always been.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Marco goes on in the next clip.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Through violence and through terror, they once again seek to
impose their ugliness all of us. The old dogma was wrong.
The old dogma was wrong. None of this is driven
by idealism. It is not utopian. In fact, it is
the opposite. The criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example,
(06:04):
is that it sounds good in theory, but it never
works in practice. That's actually not true. Communism does not
sound good in theory. The world in envisions for all
of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception,
drained of all that is good and noble in the
human soul, The world that envisions is a world without courage,
(06:27):
a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes
or glory or great causes to strive towards, without a
world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above
the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the
world communism and visions is a world without God.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, we need to stop with the it sounds good
in theory. He's right, because it doesn't sound good even
in theory because of the force mechanism. You need to
make it work. Right, that by definition is going to
make it evil. You'd need so much force to make
(07:08):
all these things happen. You know. I was reading the
Democratic Socialists of America platform a little bit earlier and
their talk of the government owning the biggest corporations in America.
So you're talking about what Apple and SpaceX and Google
and GM and how how is that going to happen?
(07:30):
I mean, the amount of force that it would take
to take over those companies and then run them and
take the money and do whatever they're going to do
with it. It's absolutely asinine. It's unworkable.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And anybody who's who has any real world experience knows
that the fact that a scheme that ludicrous is as
appealing as it is to young people who are miseducated,
and it's worth mentioning. And I've got some more statistics.
We've touched on this the other day. This is almost
exclusively a movement of the young, white and educated. Now
(08:10):
they like to trot out a minority person here and
there because that's their claim that it's to lift up
the downtrodden, but it is wildly young white and athluent.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Anyway, a little more from Marco.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of
our civilization for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder
of what they cannot do and a reminder of what
they cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy. They
attack pipelines, they attack railroads, They attack power grids and laboratories,
(08:45):
the physical embodied symbols of power and invention and achievement.
This is the nature of the terrorism we face today.
They despise the West because the West is great.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So you asked this the other day, and I'd like
to hear Tim or one of our lawyer friends, explain
why this doesn't cross the line because everybody joins the military,
becomes a judge, becomes President of the United States, becomes
a member of the Senate, whatever, all kinds of different positions.
You have to swear to uphold the Constitution. The Democratic
the DSA platform wants to rewrite the Constitution, Well, that's
(09:23):
a gentle way of saying, tear up the current constitution,
destroy the constitution, not uphold the current constitution. How are
they not enemies of America if they want to end capitalism,
destroy the constitution, get rid of the Senate, and abolish
prisons and the police. How are you not an enemy
of the United States if that's your platform, Well, that's revolution.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I mean, to end the Senate unless you specifically say
we're going to promote a constitutional amendment and get it
approved by two thirds of the states.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Blah blah blah. Yeah, you're talking about revolution, And again
I agree with you completely the amount of force it
would take to do that. What are you gonna an
army gonna come in and close it down? I mean,
what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, Yeah, it's an interesting question about It's kind of
a philosophical question. One of the things that proves how
dedicated we are to free speech, and how incredibly great
it is is We'll let these jackassya who's shoot off
their mouths and a lot of it actually kind of
crosses the line. Well, look, they're not doing any harm
(10:26):
and we're that dedicated to free speech. We are the
shining city on the hill when it comes to liberty.
For the rest of the world, they look at us,
you know, like Brits and Canadians think we're half nuts.
But yeah, well who's a great superpower and who's not.
But at some point, if you let them get too
much critical mass, then all of a sudden you've got
(10:47):
to crack down.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, we need a little we need a little more
free speech on this issue. But I'll tell you about
that after this. Yeah, congratulations. Your personal information is valuable.
The bad news it's far more accessible than you might want.
Every time you shop online, your data is collected package
sold to data brokers. That's why you ought to use Incogny. Yeah,
every scam starts with your personal info being out there,
(11:10):
available to the wrong person. And in Cogny is a
company that goes to the data brokers and uses the
law on their side to make these data brokers legally
force them to remove your information. We're using incognity to
get our names an info away from these data brokers.
They can't spam you if they can't find you. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I got to get back on my dashboard thinging because
I have a special request. I want to make it's
super customizable. They keep sending follow up requests or your
data stays protected and remove, protecting you from scams, spams
and real digital threats. They can't spam you if they
can't find you. Take back your privacy within cogni. In
cogni dot com slash armstrong, that's I ncog ni dot
(11:50):
com slash armstrong. You get sixty percent off for using
our code armstrong and in cognit dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Here's why we need more free speech around this issue.
So the Deep Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. The
website it says this was started by Bernie Sanders. I
don't know if Bernie believes all this stuff, but ask him,
make him answer the question, do you believe all the
stuff on the website? Do you want to do away
with the you're a senator, do you want to do
away with the US Senate? Do you want to rewrite
(12:18):
the constitution, which again is a nice way of saying
tear up the constitution, destroy the constitution, come up with
something different, destroy capitalism. Is that what you want to do?
All these candidates that have run as DSA, candidates that
have won their primaries, make them say, do you agree
with all this stuff?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to completely open the borders, and I want
to completely open the prisons, empty the prisons and eliminate
police forces.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That's what I want to make them say. That housing
is a right and it'll all be controlled by the government.
Is that what you advocate, say it out loud, Apple
is going to belong to the government. Is that your
continue to innovate and be efficient with its money and
blah blah. I think some of them that they would
say no, but I think some of them would say
(13:04):
know and be lying yeah, Marxists sly all the time. Anyway,
you have any thoughts on any of that text line
of four one five, two nine five kftc or Mary
zorron Mondania yesterday attended the World Cup watch party with
inmates at Rikers Island. That's how crowded the other bars were.
(13:34):
So I got more on that in a little bit.
The uh the watch party that Mamdani put together in
the prison, I wish, I wish you you communists worried
as much about taxpayers and citizens who obey the laws
as you do about people who are in prisons, who
demonstrated that they don't care about society. No kidding, I
(13:55):
thought this was so enlightening.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
A young woman by the name of Candle White, who's
some sort of like young fellow to Wall Street Journal,
writes it's summertime for socialism in New York and she
mentions the Democratic Socialists America claimed primary wins in three
of the safe congressional districts in New York and will
probably be headed into the United States Congress, And she
says how did.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They do it? To find out, I spent the last
month soaking up the warmth of collectivism by criming as
many DSA events as possible in my schedule. Coffee with comrades,
A Socialism won, a one course, a new Member's social
a book club, and even a hooton Nanny. I found
myself thinking, what is a hooton Nanny exactly? Is it
like a jamboree or is that different? Is it better
(14:36):
or worse than a hold hodown? Is it more than
a hodown or.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Less right or more somber right? Yes, I don't know,
but listen to this. This is, you know, enjoyable. It's
a less somber hodoun. Don't you know anything, idiot? Yeah,
but listen, Oh, for God's sake. The DSA also hosts
board game nights, running clubs, World Cup watch parties, a
(15:02):
softball league, in birding trips, and I think that is
really interesting, giving young people a chance to actually get
together and using that positive feeling to indoctrinate them into socialism.
Then she goes into the fact that the dssay is
of the opinion that we should just use the Democratic
(15:23):
Party ballot line, but we should build our own party.
So once we're in office, we're not responsible to the
Democratic Party at all.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We're the DSA. So we use that ballot line, call
ourselves Democrats, but we are the DSA. And then she
goes into some facilitators the things they said getting rid
of the Senate and the electoral College. Another important aspect
of socialism, he said, is that we generally consider ourselves
to be Marxists. And then they sang a Newish version
(15:52):
of Len Internationale, the Soviet Union's national anthem for much
of Stalin's reign. They changed some of the lyrics to
from the River to the sea, forever, trans rights, forever
that sort of thing, and kindle rights. At the new
member socialized sip to Seltzer while conversing with fellow travelers
in a spacious apartment, a copy of Mao's Little Red
(16:13):
Book and a Russian for hat with a Soviet red
star sat together on a bookshelf. The communist paraphernalia was
mirrored by a collection of Mamdani campaign signs on the
opposite side of the room. Comrades cracked open a reesling
that retails for nearly one hundred dollars a half bottle. Well,
that's why Jonah Goldber is right in the other day
that this hole the DSA is. No, it's just kind
(16:34):
of a slightly more left democratic party. No, these aren't communists. Yeah.
For instance, Byron York has this quote from the DSA website.
What would be like under them? You have no debt,
you don't need health insurance, you don't pay a mortgage
or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right.
(16:55):
Your retirement is publicly funded food, education, energy, medicine, and
transportation aren't for p right right, Kendall Wrights.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The DSA offers and attract a bill of goods, a
built in friend group, and the promise of free everything
for everyone all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Can how to landstream Democrats compete? Cats can talk, horses
can fly, sure might as well, and you can if
you gold bars. All Democrats have had on offer for
the past decade is a geriatric geriatric candidates and rage
against President Trump. If you're a young Democrat wanting to
meet like minded friends, good luck. I filled out the
New York State Democratic Interest for them two weeks ago,
(17:30):
have yet to hear back. There are no events listed
on their website.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Even if there were, a doubt they would have as
much folk music and free beer as the dsation digs
I attended. The democrats problem is of their own creation.
She goes on at some length, the warmth of collectivism
feels all the warmer because the social chill Democrats imposed
on New York.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You can wear cowboy boots to a hoot and nanny,
can't you? Sure? Yes, proster, probably not a shin dig No,
you would stand out, definitely, you could at a hoe
down jamboree. I'd wear loafers really, never mind always with socks.
(18:13):
I'm not sockless guy. Come on now, we got more
of the way. If you miss against podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand arm Strong and Getty. In a recent interview,
Keith Richards called America a bit of a disappointment at
the moment, leaving many people concerned that he's having trouble
finding drugs. So Mick Jagger's done about ten hours with
(18:38):
interviews in the last week. They got a new album
out that my brother, who is a Rolling Stones fanatic,
says it's pretty good. I haven't listened to anybody listen.
I have no doubt. No, I haven't yet. Yeah, my
brother last film was pretty damn solid. My brother thought,
he said, this is like tattoo you again? What was
your That was my skeptical noise. Oh, I'd have to
(19:01):
hear it. They're in their eighties. But anyway, the whole
rock stars unhappy with America. Oh please, my, oh my
freaking god. We have to make one exception to free speech.
No more rock stars with their political opinions. Keith Richards
couldn't love your music more? Who could possibly give a
(19:22):
crap while you think about the state of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Right now, here's my only defensive Keith the guy who
asked him.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Good point. That is an excellent point. Actually, thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm here all week, which is mercifully about that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's what the new free speech rule has got to
be about. Stop asking someone who just won a gold
medal in the Olympics what they think of ice. Stop
asking aging guitar players what they think of the politics
of America. Yeah, stop, you really think you're doing some
good in the world. I assume you became a journalist
(19:59):
because you're gonna to do some good in the world
that ain't doing good in the world. All right, you bastards.
I'd like to fight you. I'd like to fight that guy,
whoever that guy is right now, he's perfectly normal. B
also perfectly normal, also old, probably roughly the same age
Joe Biden as Keith Richard. So he's got a new
book coming out in November, Promised Me America, which Nelly
(20:21):
Bowls of Free Press says she hasn't figured out what
the inflection is supposed to be on that Promise Me
America or promised Me America or what is how are
you supposed.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To be a pony for Christmas? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Here is the promo that they put out to challenge
me faced his nation about his decisions. I made why
I'm made him lead in the country through COVID.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
You're building our country, I'm restoring our democracy after the
attack on January sixth.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Here's a whole good one any nation's longest WIGNI finished?
If that's the good one born Aghanistan And as Nelly
Bowls writes, anyway, he released a video announcing the book,
and it's very sad to watch. Biden has declined further.
As it happens in life, the camera cuts every two seconds.
I hadn't thought about that, but it wasn't just being
(21:17):
a modern TikTok thing. It was a we have to
piece this together two seconds at a time, and that
thanks Afghanistan. I mean, we're in this business. All you
can do is assume that's the best they could do
after many, many many takes.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As long as we're Yeah, the people who are involved
in the production thought, that's as good as we're going
to get.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
We just need to move on. It's very sad to
watch the camera cuts every two seconds. His voice is
slurred and hushed. Some of his longer words are barely intelligible.
I'd say, after eighty why even beyond camera? Who is
the one saying we need him to be doing more
on camera stuff? And why do I feel like doctor
Jill is gearing him up to be on Dancing with Stars?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Right?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Oh, the evil doctor Jill.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Not a real doctor, not even close. No, holy cow, yeah, yes,
this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
She finishes with, please Biden's let this man retire from
public life. He's earned his candleope and let him eat.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
It in peace.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I discovered the joys of the humble cantlope whilst vacationing. Uh,
Genie and I used to buy him, but they're huge.
So you got a whole candlope and that for two people.
I mean that would last you three weeks, except the
candleopold last three weeks, or you buy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Pre sliced prohibitively expensive. My mom always called it musk melon.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Different melon. That's a different melon, I do believe, so, yes,
I could be mistaken. My melon knowledge is admittedly mediocre
at best.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
My kids always complain if you go to a cheap restaurant,
which we do a lot, and you get their fruit bowl,
which I'll often make them get a fruit bowl if
they're having other unhealthy stuff. The fruit bowl at a
cheap restaurant is all melon. They'll give you like ad
grape and a slice of strawberry and a bunch of melon.
(23:21):
Melon must be free. You go to a nice restaurant
and get a fruit bowl, like a more expensive breakfast place,
and there's lots of delicious fruit in there. You get some,
you get some pineapple, you get several grapes, she get
a couple of blueberries. Cheap restaurants some to looking at you,
Black Bear diner. Oh melon, nice job, fruit, way too
much melon. Look at that guy, he's some sort of
(23:41):
fruit bowl. Here's your answer, Jack, and we've all learned
something today. A cantlope is a type of musk melon,
but not all musk melons are cantalopes. Candleope without a girl,
say that again. A cantalope is a type of musk melon,
but not all musk melons are cantalop My mom was right, absolutely, yeah, yeah,
(24:03):
it was a specific sort of musk melon. She, you know,
child of the depression. She's a, Hey, we aren't the
kind of people that get to like individually identify our melons.
All right, right, We're lucky to have a melon at all.
They're all musk melons. Let's eat if you enjoy yourself.
The rich might be obsessing over what musk melon will
(24:25):
we serve to that, and we are happy to have
any melon we can get, exactly, God bless her, oh Man,
musk melon, which is a terrible name for a melon.
I don't find melon that enjoyable anyway, generally, but musk
is not a appetizing word. Oh I've hardly met a
melon I didn't enjoy really the humble water melon. I
(24:50):
have never understood of the melons size and deliciousness. I've
never understood the appeal of watermelon. What wow, Yeah, I know,
Michael working with a weirdo freak God. When I was
a kid, to'd be hey, we got watermelons, like I
don't know, like they gave us a pony or something,
And I'm like, okay, great freaking summer deliciousness. It's American deliciousness. Hey,
(25:16):
that was great. How the Cubs won the World Series
last year, wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I'm seeing whether he's a Soviet spine because the Cubs
didn't win the series and he didn't he got like
watermelon juice running down your arm. Well, put your elbow
to the side. This is this is a disappointing moment.
The sea should probably move a spit them out for distance.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It's how I learned really good spitting technique, by the way,
spitting watermelon seeds, spitting contests with my cousins back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Good times. We're gonna we got a person out in
the newsroom. Uh. Jensenen does news for us every now
and then. She's in her twenties. She's a regular person.
She went to opening night of The Odyssey last night.
Gonna ask her a regular person about it, and she
was hot at the Imax. Which is part of the
attempt here to like rescue the movie industry, because they
(26:08):
do have the problem of like, I got a really
great TV and was not expensive either, and it's really
really giant and really really good, and the leap from
that to a regular movie is just not enough to
make me go sometimes. But Imax is different. There's Imax
is a different world from television. And so this is
the first major motion picture that's been released in full
(26:31):
form on an Imax, and I'm gonna check that out.
And I tried to get seats and were seats available
for this weekend? And I thought, oh cool, opening weekend.
Still seats available, but only the front two rows. Well luckily,
as I mentioned that, is they a bunch of you
texted me and said, don't do it. You can't do you.
Not only do you have to crane your neck, which
I don't really care about that out much, but you
(26:52):
just can't. You can't really take in what's going on.
It's not designed. I don't even know why they sell
seats there and to extract the money from poor suckers
like yourself, I guess. But I'm gonna wait till next
week so I won't be able to review it this
weekend like I was hoping to. I'm gonna wait till
next week so I can get a seat further back
middle of the IMAX and watch it in the full form.
Did you look forward?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
What did you say it was three hours long?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Though?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh yeah, it's just like two minutes short of three
hour movie. Although they announced that I appreciated that. At
least our local Imax we ain't doing any previews, all right,
So the movie starts on time, don't show up on
time because I have started showing up a full half
hour late because that's how long the previews have become
at my local movie theater. And it's not just previews,
(27:35):
it's just ads. Here's an ad for State Farm insurance,
here's an ad for McDonald's, and then previews. It's just
I'm gonna sit there for a half hour and watch movies,
I mean commercials. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah, So that will be in our four We'll
get to Jensen's review. If you don't get our four,
grab it five podcast Armstrong You Getting on Demand you
ought to be subscribing. You will get the Armstrong You
Getty One More Thing podcast automatically. Yesterday's One More Thing
was about how perverse the American Museum of National History
at the Smithsonian in Washington, d C. Has become, how
(28:09):
it's become like an organ of Marxist education.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
It's sickening it really, as I complained about this last
summer because me and the kids went.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But I really think you'll enjoy the podcast again. Sarmstrong
and Getting on Demand from July sixteenth, coming up really
need to tip our cap to the fact that LA's
bums and junkies policies have reached a new level of
wasting incompetence.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Six months ago, you thought this is as bad as
it gets. No, they've they've striven to rise above.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That level of incompetence and they've gotten even better slash worse.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Cool, And man, they got a problem in Colorado. We'll
get to at some point. Somebody keeps hacking into online
court court dramas. No, that makes Sonily keep a show
actual courtrooms, court cases they're doing online and showing porn
or Nazi stuff, and it keeps happening over and over again.
I'm here and I'm not a cat exactly, that sort
(29:05):
of that sort of thing. Yeah, stay duned, coming up
in a moment. There is a problem with starting to
do all your court cases online. People are hacking in
and in Colorado they got a particular problem with porn
(29:28):
and Nazis showing up in their courtrooms. So more monographic Nazis.
Anything can get any worse.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
So, speaking of Great Western cities, or at least formerly
so in Great Western states, LA's homeless policy is piling
the incredibly expensive, absurd upon the appallingly expensive, ridiculous California
Post is reporting that a city homeless initiative championed by
(29:57):
Councilwoman Nithya Ramen, she is the communist who's way left
of Karen Bass, who was one of the final two
in the election, or Spencer Pratt being shoved to side.
But this homeless initiative champion by the socialist Ramen, has
spent more than sixty million dollars to fill three subsidized
(30:18):
apartments with homeless quote unquote Angelino's it was supposed to
be a couple of thousand, it's three so far three,
not three thousand, three hundred and three.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Meanwhile, City Hall still pumps hundreds of millions of taxpayer
dollars into a different thing. The scandal marred LA Homeless
Services Authority despite years of talk about the need for
the change, because they don't do any good. So then
you've got Karen Bass's signature inside safe program, which pays
(30:51):
exorbitant rates to temporary, temporarily stash bumps and junkies in
hotel rooms. Then there's the city's dismal record with the
LA Homeless Services Authority, which we could go into detail.
But Bass appoints five of the ten members who governed
that authority. But it's completely corrupt, completely ineffective, and the
(31:15):
city has appeared powerless to fix the agency or even
leave it.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
The county has more or less left that organization behind.
But this year, the Trump administration yanked two hundred million
dollars in federal funding that the LAHSA had been getting
as the FEDS probe the agency for alleged financial mismanagement.
G do you think conflicts of interest and poor contract oversight.
(31:45):
But the city officials who've been talking about how it's
ineffective have yet to even study the prospect of shifting
spending away from the LHSA. They just keep shoveling them
tens of millions of dollars. And this is a group
that just spent sixty million dollars to move homeless people
into three apartments. It's also a group that pours billions
(32:07):
of dollars into the homeless industrial complex, funneling taxpayer money
to nonprofits that benefit financially by entrenching homelessness rather than
abating it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
And it's just growing, holy crap, frustrating. Oh, and nobody's
willing to admit it's a it's a drug problem. It's
a drug and drug fueled mental illness problem. So we're
(32:36):
on a new radio station in Denver, Colorado, K HOW.
I grew up listening to K HOW KHOW every day
when I was a teenager, and it's one of the
main reasons I got into radio at all. So it's
very exciting that the Armstrong and Getty Show is now
on k HOW and Denver. We're ill also have been
on in Colorado Springs for quite some time. That's where
(32:59):
this story comes from, where my parents lived for years
and years loved the springs. Yeah, this is from kid
R d O and Colorado Springs and a problem they're
having with courtrooms.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
This video is sent to us by a viewer. Shows
but started as a routine court hearing and ended with pornography,
swastikas and a judge forced to shut the hearing down.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Literally, it would be men gratifying themselves with swastikas swirling
around the screen.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Defense attorney Jeremy Lowe was in the Opasso County courtroom
when it happened last week. He sells the judge immediately
shut the virtual proceeding down after the explicit video, which
we've heavily blurred took over the screen.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
This is pornographic and anti semitic images being projected throughout
a courtroom.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Thanks for your expertise people to observe, and it's just
not appropriate. We're tracking appreciate your expertise on that this
is inappropriate and anti semitic. Oh you mean the guy
walking off in the naz symbols. Oh okay, you got
a guy polishing this V two right there on the screen.
That's a little World War two humor for you. I'm
(34:12):
glad we brought in somebody with a PhD to let
us know why this is offensive. The report goes on.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Cardio thirteen Investigates also obtained video from a similar disruption
during a Pueblo County court hearing a few weeks ago.
The Colorado Judicial Department tells Cardio thirteen Investigates it has
received reports of at least twenty eight virtual courtroom disruptions
in the last six months alone, and the state says
the people responsible are disguising themselves as police officers, attorneys,
(34:44):
and other legitimate court participants. Back in twenty twenty four,
Cardio thirteen Investigates reported on similar disruptions inside Colorado's virtual
court system.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
There are high school kids and junior high school kids
that come throughout the courtrooms and observe proceedings again with
their school. You know, it is really sad that we
have the potential to expose them to this once again.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I was kind of on the fence for the heart
where they're having Nazi porn on our courtroom proceedings, was
a good idea or not, But he convinced me that's right.
The kids right. If you didn't have high schoolers there,
then we'd all be perfectly fine with watching a Nazi masturbate.
But but he makes an excellent point, so you know,
(35:32):
it turns out you were right. I wasn't picturing that.
I thought it was two different things. Likely. I thought
it was probably people hacking in, and I shouldn't say
hacking breaking in and then showing porn and then some
other Nazi stuff. But no, it was actually combined, right,
Nazi serviady, I say we'd break in and show porn. No, no, no,
(35:57):
We've got to inflict Nazi stuff on people. That that's
the most shocking. I say porn, I say, Nazi, You
got Nazi on my porn? You got porn on my Nazi.
That's an old reference. Uh yeah, But then they came
up with wait, wait, wait a minute, Heinrich, Wait a minute.
Two great offenses that offend together, Nazi and porn. That
(36:18):
is really something. Thank you Colorado for that. If you
missed a segment, 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, Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy. A brand new
(00:25):
monkey species has been discovered. You wouldn't think that could
still happen on planet Earth in the year twenty twenty six.
But they discovered a brand new monkey saw. Then.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, if you're bored with the standard monkeys, good news, I'll.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Tell you about that coming up. So Presidential election twenty
eight Republican side, the most dumbed down version is Marco
Rubio versus JD. Vance. Four people names will probably emerge
that you don't even know or I don't even know,
but Jdvans versus Marco Rubio. JD Vance the current sitting
(00:58):
Vice President, who I don't know exactly what or who
he is because he's been a number of different things.
He was on Joe Rogan the other day for like
three hours or something. Ah man, I heard him getting
killed by a lot of different corners.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well I'll kill him for this, absolutely dropping his pants
for the it's the Jews crowd, shameless, disgusting, mortifying anyway, Yeah,
Mark Calpern thought it was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Jd Vance went on there and some of the things
that he said I was obscene. So then you got
Marco Rubio, who is the sitting Secretary of State, who
is very verbally gifted. So's jd Vance. Well, actually, back
to jd Vance the fact that he is so verbally
gifted see Trump. Trump's verbally gifted in a weird way.
(01:50):
But he also sometimes just says stuff because of the
way his brain works that he doesn't really mean or
he should have said it differently. Jd Vance is not
saying anything by accident. So none of that stuff he
said on Joe Rogan was like a slip of the
tongue or I'm sorry, I didn't think that through.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, it is, as the Brits say, too clever by half.
He's really trying to get that crowd consolidated behind him,
the anti Semitic New Right. Anyway, Marco meanwhile, who I
am a great admirer of, gave a speech and I'm
trying to read this print. It's super tiny. It was
(02:27):
a big sincatorium about leftism, militant leftism, leftist violence, and
communism in short, and he absolutely brought the thunder. He
had kind of two main points, one being the violence
coming from the left and then the false promises of
the left. Here's a nice sample of the first theme.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
More than eighty percent of radical violence is now driven
by far left and anarchist actors. These are not abstract statistics.
Americans have seen what those numbers mean. And all out
assault on our immigration officers, sniper attacks, explosives, armed ambushes,
a transgender shooter opening fire on Catholic elementary school students
(03:10):
as they pray, his gun marked with slogans like where
is your God now? A healthcare executive executed in cold
blood in the streets, multiple assassination attempts on a sitting president,
and the murder of the greatest conservative activist of a generation,
a man who happened to also be a husband and
(03:33):
the father of two young children, shot and killed while
speaking to a crowd of students.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And he makes a point that this is a distinctive evil.
It's the worst against the best. This is what radical
leftism is. It's trying to tear people down.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So you're ready to move on to the socialism part? Sure,
so does he start with that at eighty two or
eighty three of them this list. I listened to the
clips last night, and I listened to his speech or
has heard the socialism part of the speech, but I
don't know how it's broken out. It's all good. Let's
just start from eighty two, Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place
and time. They can call themselves anti capitalists or anti imperialists,
or communists or anarchists or Marxists, but the fundamental character
is always the same. It's always the same. It is
a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and
(04:30):
justice and liberation and overwhelming need to tear down what
greater men have built, to wreck what is beautiful and
what is right on behalf of people who are only
filled with ugliness and have nothing else to offer the world.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah. We played the clip of Bertrand Russell a while back,
and this was in black and white. He said this
in the fifties or something, one of your thinkers, and
i'd never heard it. Heard set that plainly, and I
will think about it differently for the rest of my life.
Not about helping the downtrodden, It's about bringing down the successful,
(05:06):
because it is the politics of envy. It's some sort
of weird they have more than me, and I'm going
to stop them from having stuff. But that doesn't work,
so you have to claim it's about helping the working class.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right right, It's the politics of envy, of blame, and
it's almost always the young, disaffected, educated who don't have
the lives they think they ought to have, and so
they need somebody to blame. And you throw in, oh,
I get stuff without trying. That sounds great too. That's
what it is. That's what it's always been.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Marco goes on in the next clip.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Through violence and through terror, they once again seek to
impose their ugliness all of us. The old dogma was wrong.
The old dogma was wrong. None of this is driven
by idealism. It is not utopian. In fact, it is
the opposite. The criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example,
(06:04):
is that it sounds good in theory, but it never
works in practice. That's actually not true. Communism does not
sound good in theory. The world in envisions for all
of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception,
drained of all that is good and noble in the
human soul, The world that envisions is a world without courage,
(06:27):
a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes
or glory or great causes to strive towards, without a
world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above
the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the
world communism and visions is a world without God.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, we need to stop with the it sounds good
in theory. He's right, because it doesn't sound good even
in theory because of the force mechanism. You need to
make it work. Right, that by definition is going to
make it evil. You'd need so much force to make
(07:08):
all these things happen. You know. I was reading the
Democratic Socialists of America platform a little bit earlier and
their talk of the government owning the biggest corporations in America.
So you're talking about what Apple and SpaceX and Google
and GM and how how is that going to happen?
(07:30):
I mean, the amount of force that it would take
to take over those companies and then run them and
take the money and do whatever they're going to do
with it. It's absolutely asinine. It's unworkable.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And anybody who's who has any real world experience knows
that the fact that a scheme that ludicrous is as
appealing as it is to young people who are miseducated,
and it's worth mentioning. And I've got some more statistics.
We've touched on this the other day. This is almost
exclusively a movement of the young, white and educated. Now
(08:10):
they like to trot out a minority person here and
there because that's their claim that it's to lift up
the downtrodden, but it is wildly young white and athluent.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Anyway, a little more from Marco.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of
our civilization for them, it's an unbearable humiliation, a reminder
of what they cannot do and a reminder of what
they cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy. They
attack pipelines, they attack railroads, They attack power grids and laboratories,
(08:45):
the physical embodied symbols of power and invention and achievement.
This is the nature of the terrorism we face today.
They despise the West because the West is great.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So you asked this the other day, and I'd like
to hear Tim or one of our lawyer friends, explain
why this doesn't cross the line because everybody joins the military,
becomes a judge, becomes President of the United States, becomes
a member of the Senate, whatever, all kinds of different positions.
You have to swear to uphold the Constitution. The Democratic
the DSA platform wants to rewrite the Constitution, Well, that's
(09:23):
a gentle way of saying, tear up the current constitution,
destroy the constitution, not uphold the current constitution. How are
they not enemies of America if they want to end capitalism,
destroy the constitution, get rid of the Senate, and abolish
prisons and the police. How are you not an enemy
of the United States if that's your platform, Well, that's revolution.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I mean, to end the Senate unless you specifically say
we're going to promote a constitutional amendment and get it
approved by two thirds of the states.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Blah blah blah. Yeah, you're talking about revolution, And again
I agree with you completely the amount of force it
would take to do that. What are you gonna an
army gonna come in and close it down? I mean,
what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, Yeah, it's an interesting question about It's kind of
a philosophical question. One of the things that proves how
dedicated we are to free speech, and how incredibly great
it is is We'll let these jackassya who's shoot off
their mouths and a lot of it actually kind of
crosses the line. Well, look, they're not doing any harm
(10:26):
and we're that dedicated to free speech. We are the
shining city on the hill when it comes to liberty.
For the rest of the world, they look at us,
you know, like Brits and Canadians think we're half nuts.
But yeah, well who's a great superpower and who's not.
But at some point, if you let them get too
much critical mass, then all of a sudden you've got
(10:47):
to crack down.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, we need a little we need a little more
free speech on this issue. But I'll tell you about
that after this. Yeah, congratulations. Your personal information is valuable.
The bad news it's far more accessible than you might want.
Every time you shop online, your data is collected package
sold to data brokers. That's why you ought to use Incogny. Yeah,
every scam starts with your personal info being out there,
(11:10):
available to the wrong person. And in Cogny is a
company that goes to the data brokers and uses the
law on their side to make these data brokers legally
force them to remove your information. We're using incognity to
get our names an info away from these data brokers.
They can't spam you if they can't find you. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I got to get back on my dashboard thinging because
I have a special request. I want to make it's
super customizable. They keep sending follow up requests or your
data stays protected and remove, protecting you from scams, spams
and real digital threats. They can't spam you if they
can't find you. Take back your privacy within cogni. In
cogni dot com slash armstrong, that's I ncog ni dot
(11:50):
com slash armstrong. You get sixty percent off for using
our code armstrong and in cognit dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Here's why we need more free speech around this issue.
So the Deep Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. The
website it says this was started by Bernie Sanders. I
don't know if Bernie believes all this stuff, but ask him,
make him answer the question, do you believe all the
stuff on the website? Do you want to do away
with the you're a senator, do you want to do
away with the US Senate? Do you want to rewrite
(12:18):
the constitution, which again is a nice way of saying
tear up the constitution, destroy the constitution, come up with
something different, destroy capitalism. Is that what you want to do?
All these candidates that have run as DSA, candidates that
have won their primaries, make them say, do you agree
with all this stuff?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to completely open the borders, and I want
to completely open the prisons, empty the prisons and eliminate
police forces.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That's what I want to make them say. That housing
is a right and it'll all be controlled by the government.
Is that what you advocate, say it out loud, Apple
is going to belong to the government. Is that your
continue to innovate and be efficient with its money and
blah blah. I think some of them that they would
say no, but I think some of them would say
(13:04):
know and be lying yeah, Marxists sly all the time. Anyway,
you have any thoughts on any of that text line
of four one five, two nine five kftc or Mary
zorron Mondania yesterday attended the World Cup watch party with
inmates at Rikers Island. That's how crowded the other bars were.
(13:34):
So I got more on that in a little bit.
The uh the watch party that Mamdani put together in
the prison, I wish, I wish you you communists worried
as much about taxpayers and citizens who obey the laws
as you do about people who are in prisons, who
demonstrated that they don't care about society. No kidding, I
(13:55):
thought this was so enlightening.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
A young woman by the name of Candle White, who's
some sort of like young fellow to Wall Street Journal,
writes it's summertime for socialism in New York and she
mentions the Democratic Socialists America claimed primary wins in three
of the safe congressional districts in New York and will
probably be headed into the United States Congress, And she
says how did.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They do it? To find out, I spent the last
month soaking up the warmth of collectivism by criming as
many DSA events as possible in my schedule. Coffee with comrades,
A Socialism won, a one course, a new Member's social
a book club, and even a hooton Nanny. I found
myself thinking, what is a hooton Nanny exactly? Is it
like a jamboree or is that different? Is it better
(14:36):
or worse than a hold hodown? Is it more than
a hodown or.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Less right or more somber right? Yes, I don't know,
but listen to this. This is, you know, enjoyable. It's
a less somber hodoun. Don't you know anything, idiot? Yeah,
but listen, Oh, for God's sake. The DSA also hosts
board game nights, running clubs, World Cup watch parties, a
(15:02):
softball league, in birding trips, and I think that is
really interesting, giving young people a chance to actually get
together and using that positive feeling to indoctrinate them into socialism.
Then she goes into the fact that the dssay is
of the opinion that we should just use the Democratic
(15:23):
Party ballot line, but we should build our own party.
So once we're in office, we're not responsible to the
Democratic Party at all.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We're the DSA. So we use that ballot line, call
ourselves Democrats, but we are the DSA. And then she
goes into some facilitators the things they said getting rid
of the Senate and the electoral College. Another important aspect
of socialism, he said, is that we generally consider ourselves
to be Marxists. And then they sang a Newish version
(15:52):
of Len Internationale, the Soviet Union's national anthem for much
of Stalin's reign. They changed some of the lyrics to
from the River to the sea, forever, trans rights, forever
that sort of thing, and kindle rights. At the new
member socialized sip to Seltzer while conversing with fellow travelers
in a spacious apartment, a copy of Mao's Little Red
(16:13):
Book and a Russian for hat with a Soviet red
star sat together on a bookshelf. The communist paraphernalia was
mirrored by a collection of Mamdani campaign signs on the
opposite side of the room. Comrades cracked open a reesling
that retails for nearly one hundred dollars a half bottle. Well,
that's why Jonah Goldber is right in the other day
that this hole the DSA is. No, it's just kind
(16:34):
of a slightly more left democratic party. No, these aren't communists. Yeah.
For instance, Byron York has this quote from the DSA website.
What would be like under them? You have no debt,
you don't need health insurance, you don't pay a mortgage
or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right.
(16:55):
Your retirement is publicly funded food, education, energy, medicine, and
transportation aren't for p right right, Kendall Wrights.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The DSA offers and attract a bill of goods, a
built in friend group, and the promise of free everything
for everyone all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Can how to landstream Democrats compete? Cats can talk, horses
can fly, sure might as well, and you can if
you gold bars. All Democrats have had on offer for
the past decade is a geriatric geriatric candidates and rage
against President Trump. If you're a young Democrat wanting to
meet like minded friends, good luck. I filled out the
New York State Democratic Interest for them two weeks ago,
(17:30):
have yet to hear back. There are no events listed
on their website.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Even if there were, a doubt they would have as
much folk music and free beer as the dsation digs
I attended. The democrats problem is of their own creation.
She goes on at some length, the warmth of collectivism
feels all the warmer because the social chill Democrats imposed
on New York.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You can wear cowboy boots to a hoot and nanny,
can't you? Sure? Yes, proster, probably not a shin dig No,
you would stand out, definitely, you could at a hoe
down jamboree. I'd wear loafers really, never mind always with socks.
(18:13):
I'm not sockless guy. Come on now, we got more
of the way. If you miss against podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand arm Strong and Getty. In a recent interview,
Keith Richards called America a bit of a disappointment at
the moment, leaving many people concerned that he's having trouble
finding drugs. So Mick Jagger's done about ten hours with
(18:38):
interviews in the last week. They got a new album
out that my brother, who is a Rolling Stones fanatic,
says it's pretty good. I haven't listened to anybody listen.
I have no doubt. No, I haven't yet. Yeah, my
brother last film was pretty damn solid. My brother thought,
he said, this is like tattoo you again? What was
your That was my skeptical noise. Oh, I'd have to
(19:01):
hear it. They're in their eighties. But anyway, the whole
rock stars unhappy with America. Oh please, my, oh my
freaking god. We have to make one exception to free speech.
No more rock stars with their political opinions. Keith Richards
couldn't love your music more? Who could possibly give a
(19:22):
crap while you think about the state of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Right now, here's my only defensive Keith the guy who
asked him.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Good point. That is an excellent point. Actually, thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm here all week, which is mercifully about that.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's what the new free speech rule has got to
be about. Stop asking someone who just won a gold
medal in the Olympics what they think of ice. Stop
asking aging guitar players what they think of the politics
of America. Yeah, stop, you really think you're doing some
good in the world. I assume you became a journalist
(19:59):
because you're gonna to do some good in the world
that ain't doing good in the world. All right, you bastards.
I'd like to fight you. I'd like to fight that guy,
whoever that guy is right now, he's perfectly normal. B
also perfectly normal, also old, probably roughly the same age
Joe Biden as Keith Richard. So he's got a new
book coming out in November, Promised Me America, which Nelly
(20:21):
Bowls of Free Press says she hasn't figured out what
the inflection is supposed to be on that Promise Me
America or promised Me America or what is how are
you supposed.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To be a pony for Christmas? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Here is the promo that they put out to challenge
me faced his nation about his decisions. I made why
I'm made him lead in the country through COVID.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
You're building our country, I'm restoring our democracy after the
attack on January sixth.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Here's a whole good one any nation's longest WIGNI finished?
If that's the good one born Aghanistan And as Nelly
Bowls writes, anyway, he released a video announcing the book,
and it's very sad to watch. Biden has declined further.
As it happens in life, the camera cuts every two seconds.
I hadn't thought about that, but it wasn't just being
(21:17):
a modern TikTok thing. It was a we have to
piece this together two seconds at a time, and that
thanks Afghanistan. I mean, we're in this business. All you
can do is assume that's the best they could do
after many, many many takes.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
As long as we're Yeah, the people who are involved
in the production thought, that's as good as we're going
to get.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
We just need to move on. It's very sad to
watch the camera cuts every two seconds. His voice is
slurred and hushed. Some of his longer words are barely intelligible.
I'd say, after eighty why even beyond camera? Who is
the one saying we need him to be doing more
on camera stuff? And why do I feel like doctor
Jill is gearing him up to be on Dancing with Stars?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Right?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Oh, the evil doctor Jill.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Not a real doctor, not even close. No, holy cow, yeah, yes,
this is terrible.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
She finishes with, please Biden's let this man retire from
public life. He's earned his candleope and let him eat.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
It in peace.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And I discovered the joys of the humble cantlope whilst vacationing. Uh,
Genie and I used to buy him, but they're huge.
So you got a whole candlope and that for two people.
I mean that would last you three weeks, except the
candleopold last three weeks, or you buy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Pre sliced prohibitively expensive. My mom always called it musk melon.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Different melon. That's a different melon, I do believe, so, yes,
I could be mistaken. My melon knowledge is admittedly mediocre
at best.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
My kids always complain if you go to a cheap restaurant,
which we do a lot, and you get their fruit bowl,
which I'll often make them get a fruit bowl if
they're having other unhealthy stuff. The fruit bowl at a
cheap restaurant is all melon. They'll give you like ad
grape and a slice of strawberry and a bunch of melon.
(23:21):
Melon must be free. You go to a nice restaurant
and get a fruit bowl, like a more expensive breakfast place,
and there's lots of delicious fruit in there. You get some,
you get some pineapple, you get several grapes, she get
a couple of blueberries. Cheap restaurants some to looking at you,
Black Bear diner. Oh melon, nice job, fruit, way too
much melon. Look at that guy, he's some sort of
(23:41):
fruit bowl. Here's your answer, Jack, and we've all learned
something today. A cantlope is a type of musk melon,
but not all musk melons are cantalopes. Candleope without a girl,
say that again. A cantalope is a type of musk melon,
but not all musk melons are cantalop My mom was right, absolutely, yeah, yeah,
(24:03):
it was a specific sort of musk melon. She, you know,
child of the depression. She's a, Hey, we aren't the
kind of people that get to like individually identify our melons.
All right, right, We're lucky to have a melon at all.
They're all musk melons. Let's eat if you enjoy yourself.
The rich might be obsessing over what musk melon will
(24:25):
we serve to that, and we are happy to have
any melon we can get, exactly, God bless her, oh Man,
musk melon, which is a terrible name for a melon.
I don't find melon that enjoyable anyway, generally, but musk
is not a appetizing word. Oh I've hardly met a
melon I didn't enjoy really the humble water melon. I
(24:50):
have never understood of the melons size and deliciousness. I've
never understood the appeal of watermelon. What wow, Yeah, I know,
Michael working with a weirdo freak God. When I was
a kid, to'd be hey, we got watermelons, like I
don't know, like they gave us a pony or something,
And I'm like, okay, great freaking summer deliciousness. It's American deliciousness. Hey,
(25:16):
that was great. How the Cubs won the World Series
last year, wasn't it?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I'm seeing whether he's a Soviet spine because the Cubs
didn't win the series and he didn't he got like
watermelon juice running down your arm. Well, put your elbow
to the side. This is this is a disappointing moment.
The sea should probably move a spit them out for distance.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It's how I learned really good spitting technique, by the way,
spitting watermelon seeds, spitting contests with my cousins back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Good times. We're gonna we got a person out in
the newsroom. Uh. Jensenen does news for us every now
and then. She's in her twenties. She's a regular person.
She went to opening night of The Odyssey last night.
Gonna ask her a regular person about it, and she
was hot at the Imax. Which is part of the
attempt here to like rescue the movie industry, because they
(26:08):
do have the problem of like, I got a really
great TV and was not expensive either, and it's really
really giant and really really good, and the leap from
that to a regular movie is just not enough to
make me go sometimes. But Imax is different. There's Imax
is a different world from television. And so this is
the first major motion picture that's been released in full
(26:31):
form on an Imax, and I'm gonna check that out.
And I tried to get seats and were seats available
for this weekend? And I thought, oh cool, opening weekend.
Still seats available, but only the front two rows. Well luckily,
as I mentioned that, is they a bunch of you
texted me and said, don't do it. You can't do you.
Not only do you have to crane your neck, which
I don't really care about that out much, but you
(26:52):
just can't. You can't really take in what's going on.
It's not designed. I don't even know why they sell
seats there and to extract the money from poor suckers
like yourself, I guess. But I'm gonna wait till next
week so I won't be able to review it this
weekend like I was hoping to. I'm gonna wait till
next week so I can get a seat further back
middle of the IMAX and watch it in the full form.
Did you look forward?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
What did you say it was three hours long?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Though?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh yeah, it's just like two minutes short of three
hour movie. Although they announced that I appreciated that. At
least our local Imax we ain't doing any previews, all right,
So the movie starts on time, don't show up on
time because I have started showing up a full half
hour late because that's how long the previews have become
at my local movie theater. And it's not just previews,
(27:35):
it's just ads. Here's an ad for State Farm insurance,
here's an ad for McDonald's, and then previews. It's just
I'm gonna sit there for a half hour and watch movies,
I mean commercials. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah, So that will be in our four We'll
get to Jensen's review. If you don't get our four,
grab it five podcast Armstrong You Getting on Demand you
ought to be subscribing. You will get the Armstrong You
Getty One More Thing podcast automatically. Yesterday's One More Thing
was about how perverse the American Museum of National History
at the Smithsonian in Washington, d C. Has become, how
(28:09):
it's become like an organ of Marxist education.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
It's sickening it really, as I complained about this last
summer because me and the kids went.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But I really think you'll enjoy the podcast again. Sarmstrong
and Getting on Demand from July sixteenth, coming up really
need to tip our cap to the fact that LA's
bums and junkies policies have reached a new level of
wasting incompetence.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Six months ago, you thought this is as bad as
it gets. No, they've they've striven to rise above.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That level of incompetence and they've gotten even better slash worse.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Cool, And man, they got a problem in Colorado. We'll
get to at some point. Somebody keeps hacking into online
court court dramas. No, that makes Sonily keep a show
actual courtrooms, court cases they're doing online and showing porn
or Nazi stuff, and it keeps happening over and over again.
I'm here and I'm not a cat exactly, that sort
(29:05):
of that sort of thing. Yeah, stay duned, coming up
in a moment. There is a problem with starting to
do all your court cases online. People are hacking in
and in Colorado they got a particular problem with porn
(29:28):
and Nazis showing up in their courtrooms. So more monographic Nazis.
Anything can get any worse.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
So, speaking of Great Western cities, or at least formerly
so in Great Western states, LA's homeless policy is piling
the incredibly expensive, absurd upon the appallingly expensive, ridiculous California
Post is reporting that a city homeless initiative championed by
(29:57):
Councilwoman Nithya Ramen, she is the communist who's way left
of Karen Bass, who was one of the final two
in the election, or Spencer Pratt being shoved to side.
But this homeless initiative champion by the socialist Ramen, has
spent more than sixty million dollars to fill three subsidized
(30:18):
apartments with homeless quote unquote Angelino's it was supposed to
be a couple of thousand, it's three so far three,
not three thousand, three hundred and three.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Meanwhile, City Hall still pumps hundreds of millions of taxpayer
dollars into a different thing. The scandal marred LA Homeless
Services Authority despite years of talk about the need for
the change, because they don't do any good. So then
you've got Karen Bass's signature inside safe program, which pays
(30:51):
exorbitant rates to temporary, temporarily stash bumps and junkies in
hotel rooms. Then there's the city's dismal record with the
LA Homeless Services Authority, which we could go into detail.
But Bass appoints five of the ten members who governed
that authority. But it's completely corrupt, completely ineffective, and the
(31:15):
city has appeared powerless to fix the agency or even
leave it.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
The county has more or less left that organization behind.
But this year, the Trump administration yanked two hundred million
dollars in federal funding that the LAHSA had been getting
as the FEDS probe the agency for alleged financial mismanagement.
G do you think conflicts of interest and poor contract oversight.
(31:45):
But the city officials who've been talking about how it's
ineffective have yet to even study the prospect of shifting
spending away from the LHSA. They just keep shoveling them
tens of millions of dollars. And this is a group
that just spent sixty million dollars to move homeless people
into three apartments. It's also a group that pours billions
(32:07):
of dollars into the homeless industrial complex, funneling taxpayer money
to nonprofits that benefit financially by entrenching homelessness rather than
abating it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
And it's just growing, holy crap, frustrating. Oh, and nobody's
willing to admit it's a it's a drug problem. It's
a drug and drug fueled mental illness problem. So we're
(32:36):
on a new radio station in Denver, Colorado, K HOW.
I grew up listening to K HOW KHOW every day
when I was a teenager, and it's one of the
main reasons I got into radio at all. So it's
very exciting that the Armstrong and Getty Show is now
on k HOW and Denver. We're ill also have been
on in Colorado Springs for quite some time. That's where
(32:59):
this story comes from, where my parents lived for years
and years loved the springs. Yeah, this is from kid
R d O and Colorado Springs and a problem they're
having with courtrooms.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
This video is sent to us by a viewer. Shows
but started as a routine court hearing and ended with pornography,
swastikas and a judge forced to shut the hearing down.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
Literally, it would be men gratifying themselves with swastikas swirling
around the screen.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Defense attorney Jeremy Lowe was in the Opasso County courtroom
when it happened last week. He sells the judge immediately
shut the virtual proceeding down after the explicit video, which
we've heavily blurred took over the screen.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
This is pornographic and anti semitic images being projected throughout
a courtroom.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Thanks for your expertise people to observe, and it's just
not appropriate. We're tracking appreciate your expertise on that this
is inappropriate and anti semitic. Oh you mean the guy
walking off in the naz symbols. Oh okay, you got
a guy polishing this V two right there on the screen.
That's a little World War two humor for you. I'm
(34:12):
glad we brought in somebody with a PhD to let
us know why this is offensive. The report goes on.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Cardio thirteen Investigates also obtained video from a similar disruption
during a Pueblo County court hearing a few weeks ago.
The Colorado Judicial Department tells Cardio thirteen Investigates it has
received reports of at least twenty eight virtual courtroom disruptions
in the last six months alone, and the state says
the people responsible are disguising themselves as police officers, attorneys,
(34:44):
and other legitimate court participants. Back in twenty twenty four,
Cardio thirteen Investigates reported on similar disruptions inside Colorado's virtual
court system.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
There are high school kids and junior high school kids
that come throughout the courtrooms and observe proceedings again with
their school. You know, it is really sad that we
have the potential to expose them to this once again.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I was kind of on the fence for the heart
where they're having Nazi porn on our courtroom proceedings, was
a good idea or not, But he convinced me that's right.
The kids right. If you didn't have high schoolers there,
then we'd all be perfectly fine with watching a Nazi masturbate.
But but he makes an excellent point, so you know,
(35:32):
it turns out you were right. I wasn't picturing that.
I thought it was two different things. Likely. I thought
it was probably people hacking in, and I shouldn't say
hacking breaking in and then showing porn and then some
other Nazi stuff. But no, it was actually combined, right,
Nazi serviady, I say we'd break in and show porn. No, no, no,
(35:57):
We've got to inflict Nazi stuff on people. That that's
the most shocking. I say porn, I say, Nazi, You
got Nazi on my porn? You got porn on my Nazi.
That's an old reference. Uh yeah, But then they came
up with wait, wait, wait a minute, Heinrich, Wait a minute.
Two great offenses that offend together, Nazi and porn. That
(36:18):
is really something. Thank you Colorado for that. If you
