Speaker 1 (00:38):
The Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound. Here we are on
Little Friday, and we are working under the tutelage of
our General.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Manager, Donald J. Trump and the art of the peace Deal. Yah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
A special consideration also given a Benjamin Nett and Yahoo
the bad cop, without whom the good would not have
had a chance. You think that's whoy I worked? Or
was Trump the bad Gump putting pressure on Netan?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yahoo?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Maybe they switched back in Fortan. No, No, I don't
think so. They're switches. They're like people who are into
that whole domination, submission sexual thing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
They're switches. Flip a coin. Maybe, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Uh No, you know, there's there's absolutely been some of that.
I think he has been wrangling both sides in his way.
My point was mostly because I've come across a couple
of just useless left leaning pieces of analysis that said, yeah,
it's a great deal. Get the hostages back. Why did
(01:39):
it take so long? Come on, you know, did Trump
get to deserve that much credit? Why didn't net Yang Man?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Were you?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Are you doom scrolling? I have taken in so much
media today. I don't think Trump has gotten this much praise.
Oh that's true from the mainstream media ever. I mean,
it's just amazing, it's absolutely. I was thinking about the
day after January sixth to today and the arc of
(02:05):
Donald Trump. I mean, the the people that just can't,
with a gun to their head say anything even semi
neutral about Donald Trump. They hate him so much, praising
him like crazy today. It's it's wild. It is wild,
and it's deserved too. And I've been thinking a lot
about the contrast between Trump and for instance, Joe Biden
(02:29):
and you know Obama and others and Republicans for that matter.
But Trump's boldness, which borders on goes into recklessness sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Absolutely it is.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And I'm not saying this to kick Joe Biden, who
has one foot in the grave and will be recorded
as one of his worst presidents ever and deserves it
without my trying. But the unwillingness to really do anything,
try anything bold, ruffle any feathers, break any eggs. That's
characterized a lot of American foreign policy for a long time.
(03:03):
We've finally seen the contrast and what a robust foreign
policy looks like.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I saw Ian Bremer, who very seldom has anything positive
to say, David Ignatius of the Washington Posts, both both
specifically naming Biden, saying Joe Biden couldn't do this right
and God forbid, Kamala Harris, can you imagine well another another.
So that's the most interesting thing about Donald Trump is
(03:34):
you know, his his his his worst, his own his
worst enemy on planet Earth is him. It always has
not even clubs. I mean in the fact that, like
you said, boldness becomes recklessness. The the other thing is
the willing to defy norms. I mean, sometimes it brings
amazing things that nobody thought could happen, that are good,
(03:54):
and sometimes it's horrible. So, yeah, what's the opposite of
picking your spots or picking your battles.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's Trump? Yeah, but chaos. But he.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
This might be the main thing that he's got going
for him. And also it makes it difficult for his life.
He does not care what other people think, right right, Yeah, right,
in my mind, I'm going to do what I think
is the best thing. Well, right, And he would, I'd imagine,
in the midst of these negotiations say no, the cutteries
have to say this to you know who Hamas and
(04:26):
advisors or learned men and women would say, Well, President
Trump traditionally the guitaris he'd.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Be like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, he would tell him that he didn't do anything
throughout this peace process where he was thinking, I wonder
what the people at the Cato Institute are going to
write about this, that his mind right.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Is what has the conventional wisdom been here? Yeah, it
is absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And to see people dancing in the streets in Gaza
and Tel Aviv over this thing, right, I mean, that's
just stunning. It's an amazing achievement. Well, it's the beginning
of an amazing achievement. Fingers crossed. Yeah, you know, our
lips to God's ears.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
God.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I hope it works. I really really hope it works.
It'd be so good for so many people. Yes, and
the problem is Hamas.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But as many people following this closely have pointed out,
from Tom Friedman in the Washington Post, to everybody it's
the pressure because of the deal's Trump's made with all
these air people, the pressure that Arab countries have been
putting on Hamas.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's just been It's.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Never happened before where they look around like does anybody
support us anymore? No, nobody supports you anymore, including and
we're gonna have a clip of this later the gozzin's.
I just saw a report on News Nation. They had
a reporter embedded in Gaza. They were saying, this is
an exclusive, We're the only media outlet in Gaza talking
to people on the ground and asking him about Hamas,
(05:54):
and they were every person they talked to. No, Hamas
doesn't care about us. They've been ruining our lives for
seventeen years. Were done with them. So Hamas might have
looked around and had zero support from anybody.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All they have left is terror and the force of arms.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And so you know, a key part of this deal
is Hamas disarming, and I don't see that happening. So
it might just be, you know, the international folks and
Palestinians and Israel joined together and hunting down the last
of them. I couldn't know what UH saw. Farid zakaria
I think he is a smart thinker. On CNN last night,
(06:32):
said once they give back to hostages, which is gonna
happen on Monday, I guess or Trump says by Monday,
which I was kind of surprised.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I saw.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I always quote David Ignatius because I know he's got
tremendous sources inside of white houses in the Pentagon, so
he you know, he gets information with those people. He said,
I have zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned.
I thought, wow, I don't know. Wow, yeah, I know,
so I thought he's got some reason to believe that anyway,
you know, I'm just just a quick note. I happen
to hear an interview with the brother of one of
(07:04):
the believed to be living hostages, and he was explaining
it was heartbreaking that they.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Don't dare tell his daughters. Oh yeah, I can. I
can understand that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That their dad, who they barely remember because they're at
this point they're four and two years old.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god. No, I wouldn't tell them either. I
wouldn't tell what's the point.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Because there have been too many heartbreaks and nightmares.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And what condition is he going to be in right? Right?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Which is having been tortured and starved like all of
the hostages by these inhuman monsters.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now for two years.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They are inhuman monsters, and imagine how hard it is
to sit across a table from them and sign something
or shake hands or safe banks or.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Whatever you'd have to do. But uh, what was my
point I was going to make.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh, so David Ignatious with all his sources, is saying
he has zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned.
And then I said, Salver for Reid Zuccari on CNN, say,
once Hamas gives up the hostages, they have zer or
a leverage. That's their only leverage they've got on planet
Earth is those hostages, and that'll be gone as of Monday,
(08:08):
and then they just have to trust in an amnesty
and Trump rating net yaho, I guess. But that's why
Trump doesn't I'm sorry, that's why Hamas doesn't want to disarm. Yeah,
fighting that tooth and nail, all right, But you know,
and I understand why everybody says this is just the beginning.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well yeah, okay, but that's the way everything in life works.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Have a baby, Okay, you're enjoying having a baby, but
this is just the beginning. Yeah, I know, I know,
it's just the beginning, right, Yeah, yeah, Well I well,
and it'll take it. I don't know if that's that
me or not. No, but just as a an immediately
dismissive I mean, if you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Skepticism is not dismissiveness. But if you don't understand it's
only the beginning, you are a moron. That's true.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's what I'm saying about the baby thing. It's like
stating the unbelieve peably obvious.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
The peace in the Middle East for all time was
not declared last night and is going to be solid,
of course, but you got to start somewhere, and this
is the best.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Start that has happened. And I don't know, maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Given the pressure coming from the Arab States, Yeah, I
would agree.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I thought this was interesting the idea that the reason
Trump could get the Arab States on board the way
he did is partially because of all the personal business
deals he and Jared have done with all these Arab
countries that a lot of people are fairly uncomfortable with given,
you know, in the presidency, out of the presidency, back
in the presidency. But that allowed them to build all
(09:43):
these relationships where they've got him and now they've got
you know, first name, Basis, got them on the cell phone,
You're on my favorites list, sort of relationships with all
these people, right right. That's fascinating it really. They got
to teach that in political science classes. Yeah, because you've
done big, multi billion dollar deals with Jared and these
(10:05):
other people, you trust them and know them. Yeah, and
a lot of it, Honestly, Biden esk in its mingling
of government and commerce. There's no denying that, definitely, But
it might just be in history is always more complicated
than people wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But this might be a key element of the whole thing,
right right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It reminds me, in a weird way of how the
mob in New York especially would keep crime off the
streets in the neighborhoods it controlled. Some of what it
did was not good, but it could reach out and
stop bad people from doing bad things. And though I
don't approve of the co mingling of government and business,
(10:46):
although it's happening all the time anyway, there is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
No question that what you said was true.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What a lesson for life or something that the of
this is the awful thing that was October seventh, two
years and two days ago led to this. Yeah, yeah, almost,
that's what was the energy to get here.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
This is you know, yeah, what does this look like
a year or two from now? I'm so interested.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I got to start taking care of myself so I
find out because if so, if it's dead enders, if
there wasn't peace in the Middle East, you're just gonna
let yourself go and maybe die pretty much within twenty
four months.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh the trend, I'm on place.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But if because there they are two real paths this
might go down. Number one was the you know, inevitable hiccups.
The piece deal works pretty much and continues down the
road it seems to be on. Possibility Number two is
that it doesn't and with the full blessing of the
(12:00):
United States of America, Israel finishes the job. Well maybe
either way Hamas and it's you know, the Iranian proxies
are dead. Yeah, maybe the full blessing of Katar in
Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Egypt. Also, do you think
we could get the hostages back and still kill Hamas? Yeah,
(12:22):
or render them irrelevant. That's the goal. It's not going
to be easy, but yeah, that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh you know.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Another part of this, it is damned interesting, is to
get the how many hostages are they're dead and alive,
twenty twenty alive and twenty some dead. They believe they're
given back two thousand terrorists that Israel has locked up
two thousand basically Hamas warriors or Hamas adjacent.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Warriors that they're going to give a baisers certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And you remember that sinwar bastard that started this whole thing,
that was the or Straighter of the October seventh and
died in that rubble throwing a news rock at that drone.
That guy, he was one of the prisoners who got
let out last time. They had to do a big deal.
I mean, the people that they let out are bad
guys who can go on to do bad things. So
(13:16):
me interesting to see how that plays out. There's just
no question that we who cherish life are at a
disadvantage in that sort of negotiation with people who don't
give a damn, who are anxious for martyrdom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
We got to start the show officially.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
October ninth or twenty twenty five were armstrong and getting
we approve of this program.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Let's begin that officially according to the SEC rules, Rags
at Mark.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Constage us will come back, all coming back Monday.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
All that was Trump on the speaker phone in Israel
when the announcement happened, and people were cheering, just like
they were cheering in Gaza, which is quite amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We got Katie's headlines on the way. We'll get to those.
Stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Rook for the left, Let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with's Katie Green. Katie take it away?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All right?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
The Washington Post Israelis and Palestinians celebrate Gaza ceasefire deal
that would release the hostages.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, well, everybody's got to be happy and all ends
if this actually ends the hostility.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, we'll give you the big provisions of the deal
next segment.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I'm guessing they're certainly in the next half hour so.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
From the Wall Street Journal, Russian drones turned the streets
of Carson into a civilian kill zone.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Another really big strike.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, they're trying to terrorize civilians by murdering them. One
or two at a time with the drone strikes from
reading civilians getting out of their cars, its stores. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
From NBC after a summer break, bird flew is back
as waterfowl migrate.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh boy, boy, I thought I had it last year.
Remember I'm too remember this chilling? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
From the BBC, China's TikTok is recommending porn to children.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh my god, where is the TikTok deal? Where is that?
Somehow I lost track of that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, wait a minute, wasn't there something was going to
happen Monday three weeks ago or something I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
From USA today, Sober October is the new dry January
and more people are trying it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
What is it just because it rhymes? I think?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I totally think.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I got any particular reason that you go drinkless in
October and January?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Or is it just rhyme? June drink out of a spoon.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Then you got August angel dust and then no, no, no,
Sober October.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Either drink or don't, but don't tell me about it.
And I don't care what your diet is either.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
From the New York Post, Florida Bar live streams It's
customer activity so those at home can hilariously watch.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh that's a great idea.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I tuned into this and it is hysterically.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That is a great idea.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh no, it's too good an idea. People are going
to tune out of the show to go do that.
Mutsh Just give me.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
The link.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
From study fines poor sleep can make your brain age faster.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I know I'm doing that to myself.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
The National Inquirer nearly half of United States homes harbor
hidden mold, making them sick.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I doubt it, having been through this.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
There is so much money to be made on if
they can find one molecule of mold. Yeah, and I
have two questions. Who goes to the National Inquirer for
their science news? And two the National Inquirer still exists.
Those are both good points.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And finally, from the Babylon bee authorities warned, Katie Porter
has grown to six hundred feet and is currently rampaging
through San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh, we got more Katie Porter stuff going. Boy, she's
really become an internet sensation. That's the leading Democrat for
governor in California who turns out to be a bee.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh she's she's.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
A for se are you kidding graduated from B school
in Oh please, she's a monster worse than we thought.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh that's funny, Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The whole world came together, to be honest, so many
countries that you wouldn't have even.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Thought of it.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
They came together. The world has come together around this deal.
And that's something I would say that without that wouldn't happen.
It's been. It's been really an amazing period of time
and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for
the Arab countries, uh, and so great for this country,
(17:55):
for the United States of America, and that we could
be involved in making a deal like this happened.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, the politics of it don't matter, at least
for today. But why do you think the crowd that
hates Trump so much or even we're in love with
this piece deal as soon as it arrived a week
ago and are so happy about it today and so
positive on Trump? Is it because he leaned on Israel
so hard. I just think the goodness of it, the
(18:26):
positive aspects of it, are impossible to ignore. I mean,
you would have to engage in some serious, serious delusion
really not to say, hey, this is a chance that
something really good happening, Right, It's like, if you know,
it's damn close to the joke that if Trump carried cancer,
(18:48):
Democrats would come out pro cancer and to be you know,
cynical or dismissive of this is damn close to that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
But I mean it's amazing. I mean, Trump's biggest detractors
are saying to give him credit on this one. Sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
And my god, if our politics were so far gone
that they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I mean, it's even worse than I thought it is.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Anyway, major aspects of the first phase of the deal,
which apparently has been agreed to, is all living hostages
held by Hamas are to be released.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Trump said.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
On Monday forty eight hostages, twenty believed to be alive,
the bodies of hostages.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Who have died or to be handed over. Later.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It said it would need at least ten days to
locate the bodies of dead hostages, according to people close
to the talks. God, and just imagine dealing with Hamas
and biting your tongue. Wow, right, Well, how about the
fact that the head Hamas negotiator was the guy Israel
tried to drop a bomb on his head.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
What was that a couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh? Really that they missed and they got his son.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Wow, So on both sides, can you imagine? Yeah, well,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's almost always the way it is at the end
of the war though, you know, and then you have
the Germans and the French sitowan. It's hard to imagine
either one of them being in the same room together.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Right, Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Another aspect of this Israel will release Palestinian prisoners. Israel's
expected to release two hundred once all the hostages are returned.
Israel has expected to release two hundred and fifty Palestinians
who are in Israeli prisons and seventeen hundred who have
been detained in Gaza during the conflict. They're finalizing who
is on that list and who's not, and Hamas is
(20:35):
pushing to get as many of the big name guys,
the worst guys released as possible, including Marwan Barguti, who
Israel jailed over his role in the Palestinian uprising in
the early two thousands. Kind of a celeb over there.
They got posters of them and such. Also part of
the deal, Israeli defense forces will withdraw from seventy percent
of the enclave. The deal includes a map of the
(20:57):
withdrawal lines, but without exact locations or coordinates beyond clave
being Gaza. Uh yeah, yeah, well they want they don't
want to be there. So the final lines, the final
preliminary lines, are still under discussion, apparently. And finally, the
Rafa crossing with Egypt will open to facilitate humanitarian aid
(21:20):
and allow for the entry and exit of Palestinians. But
of course, the dirty little secret of the Middle East
is ain't nobody wants them? Yeah, Egypt doesn't want any Palestinians,
Jordan doesn't want any Palestinians. Siria please, But man, the
rockets start stop coming in from Israel and the troops
aren't on the ground, and food starts flowing in. Yeah,
(21:42):
the average Gazin is going to be pretty happy with that.
So when all of that happens, what are the always angry,
eternal omnikause college kids going to be screeching about in
the streets? Good one, back to carving up healthy children
turning them into transsexuals.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Or what good one?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Or is there an angle of this that that that
they're pointing out? It's just horrible. Somehow I haven't heard
from that crowd in the last twenty four hours. You know,
a good representation of that crowd is actually, how quickly
can I find this stand by everybody?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
As a guy who just finds this sort of stuff
very interesting. Uh, the whole who the hell's gonna govern
Gaza thing is going to be really something to follow me.
Somebody's got to keep picking up the garbage and be
the police force and blah blah blah, all the things
that are you know, the civil society.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Who is that going to be right?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you know, not to be cynical, but anytime you
hear the term international peacekeeping force, keep in mind the
useless blue helmets of the UN. Who have you know,
a couple of modes Number one do nothing, number two
rape your women and girls, and steel.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So anyway, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
But I found the thing I wanted to mention a
couple of and it's a couple of media notes, but
they're you know, dancing the same steps as the always
angry college children who really ought to shut up and
study because they don't have nearly the life experience to
be going around telling the world I would ought to
run itself anyway. A NPR the other day interviewed a
(23:26):
human rights lawyer about the prospects for the peace proposal.
Diana Boutu, who was described as a Harvard University lecturer
and a human rights lawyer, was also a big Hamas supporter,
called October seventh a great thing.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
What did she call it to one?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A year you know, fighting against the oppressor or whatever,
and she said she complained that Palestinians and amass are
expected to make any concessions at all. Then the war quote,
I think a bigger issue is why is it that
Palestinian has had to negotiate an end to genocide. NPR
described her as a human rights lawyer and former Palestinian
(24:09):
peace negotiator. She was a PLO apparatic and an Hamas supporter.
And also speaking of the media, good old Al Jazeera,
Cutter financed Muslim brotherhood run Islamist Al Jazeer.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So weird we're friends with the quitarist anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Cutter, facing pressure from Trump, has pushed its Hamas linked
news outlet Al Jazeera to reduce incitement to terror throughout
the Middle East. Israel's Channel twelve journalist to meet Siegel reported,
and you have to remember Al Jazeera has like a
different newsroom for different parts of the world. The Al
(24:49):
Jazeera US is quite a bit more careful than say
the Middle East Al Jazeera. But this Israeli news journalist
to report. He asks what's going on at Ali his era.
If you go onto its website, you'll see relatively mild
news items as opposed to the incitement that is usually
prominent on the Katari propaganda network. Qatar is carrying out
(25:11):
a purge at Al Jazeera, and the network is starting
to focus more on the humanitarian situation in Gaza quote,
instead of praising and boasting about the actions of Hamasa's
military wing. You know what Trump is saying behind closed
doors to his closest friends. This is what he believes
about the world at his core, and he's very close
(25:32):
to right. When it comes down to it, people want
to make money. That's the driving force, and that's what
may have brought all of this together is the personal
deals he and Jared and his family have been doing
with all these Arab countries and the Qatar thing. You
were just saying, when it got down to it, there's
(25:53):
rich people that want to get richer.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, that's what they want more than anything else. Well,
and this is always been true, but I believe Trump
is a little more nakedly frank about the silver or
lead deal.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
If they talk about the cartels offering, you know, officials
in Mexico, for instance, he went to the cutteries and
he said, look, you can either make a crapload of
money or I'll let Israel go nuts.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
So let's talk.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, and often, you know, that sort of transaction is
dressed up in fancy Sunday go to meet and clothes
in democracy, and people try to pretend it's not happening.
But I think Trump just probably at this point, especially
in this conflict, said look, yeah, he's got.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
A couple of choices.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's not much different an offer than Pablo Salazar would
have given you that Escobar Pablo Escobar gave you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You want to get rich or you want to die.
Those are your two.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Options, right, right, yeah, yeah, but this is in the
name of peace. Now, Islamism isn't going anywhere. But as Jack,
you know, I'm not telling you this, but a lot
of the hardest core Islamic supremacist, expansionist lunatics exist in
(27:19):
this uneasy alliance with the regimes that run their countries.
And if the regimes that run their countries start to think,
you know, these crazy bastards are more trouble than their worst.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, that could really, you know, be at.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Least a step in the right direction for you know,
resisting the expansion of fundamentalist Islam around world. Unfortunately, countries
in Europe have already let so many of those people in.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Man, there they got a problem. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wouldn't that be something that at the same time that
Great Britain, France, Germany, these countries start to become or
have already become, beholden to their Islamists, that Saudi Arabia
and Egypt and tatar and places like this.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We've had enough of this.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, you could easily see a situation where NBS and
Cutter are saying a Muslim brotherhood, no, no, no more,
and Keir Starmer's saying.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
We must beware of islamaphobia. Yep, you're absolutely right. Wow,
what an interesting point in history.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Dr.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, I've heard the animal noises.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
This is Oh, like I say, I got to start
working out and put the bottle down because I really
want to see how.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
This all plays out.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I love that finding out out piece in the Middle
East plays out as a recent free to exercise and
stop drinking.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Oh see, the backstory is Judy was out last night.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He had dinner and went to a show with friends,
and I was at home watching playoff Baseball after I
watched my news is welcome back Baseball All night night Yankees.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, and they're just there may have been some liquid refreshment.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I watched Happy as can Be Philly's Dodgers was a
good game. Yeah, I didn't see that one.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh that was good, the best thing. And uh the
Dodgers had a chance to wrap it up and they lost.
Announce two one Dodgers. But my favorite thing about baseball
is when you bring in your ace in middle relief.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Because you feel like you got to and that's what
that's what they did. All the chips are on the table.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, yeah, it's just Oh that stuff is awesome. I
watched the Cubbies cling to life and the Yankees get vanquished.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We have got mail bag on the way and so
much news.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
We haven't got to that scumbag that started the Palisades
fire that they arrested. The backstory on him is sure interesting,
among other things. I hope he can stick around.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
The return of the Sussages apostage.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So journalist Mark Alvirin, writing in his newsletter today, it says,
the biggest story in the world today is a trade
announcement China made, not the Middle East. And if you
don't know what that is, and you probably don't, stay
tuned for hour two, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Wow. Yeah, looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, continuing the
series on change, This from a George Bernard Shaw. Those
who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
One of my favorite thinkers have made the point that
if you don't have the capacity to change your mind,
you're a moron. You know, I don't expect to change
my mind on certain that that's the definition of an idiot. Yes,
that's never change your mind. That's pretty good. That's pretty good,
(30:40):
right right. At some point, the preponderance of evidence of
something ought to be able to change your mind.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Depending.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's not to say you don't hold anything dear, I
mean uncompromisable, But if you never change your mind, it
would be a statement that I am right about everything.
I mean, can always have been and always have But
who could say that you say that out loud, but
well Trump could say that, actually Trump.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Was right about everything.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Here's your mail bag, Trump said, Nope, mail bag at
Armstrong Egeddy dot com speaking of the tangerine tornado. Oh
uh yeah, I gave the address. It's so rote At
this point I think, oh, you forgot to give the address.
While I'm giving the address. Mail bag at Armstrong he
Getty dot com. Breaking news, Rich Rides, breaking news, Hitler
broker's piece deal between Hamas and Israel.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, can we check back with everybody who's are dropped
in h bomb?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Recent?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is he still Hitler? Just just checking?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Then this.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
From rote Her, gentlemen, love your show as of September.
I've been a listener for over ten years. I wish
I'd found you sooner. That's very kind of you to say,
thank you very much. I wish you had found us sooner. Also,
ten years is what the potholders, right, Yeah, you get
the Armstrong Getdy potholders in the mail.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
They're in the mail, So look forward to receiving that.
Five years is the up admit, right?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Then the complete set of potholders, and then twenty years
of course is the engraved pen set?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Very nice Mount blanc.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Ish anyway, he writes, if Trump were my neighbor, I'm
sure I wouldn't like him.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He's arrogant, pompous, bossy, etc. Etc.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Thank god he had the fortitude to survive the law
fair and run for president a second time.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Lesser men would have given up.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He's the most transformative president in my lifetime, and I've
been alive since Truman. He's put America first, He's closed
the border. He's trying to reign and excessive spending not
hard enough, but I'll get back to your email. He's
trying to bring peace to the Middle East. Etcat Center's
energy and commitment to the presidency are amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well, his first term wasn't as productive because he had
to fight the Russia collusion. Lies in being new to politics.
He listened too much to the go along to get
along the Republican establishment. I'm sure the end results will
be mixed, but just imagine how awful it would be
without his leadership.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
At this time, we've got three years and three months left.
They can't possibly be correct, Michael checked the mathematics. It's correct.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I know John sent this along based on our conversation
of only a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
It's a meme.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's Trump in a hospital ward wearing the full doctor outfit,
the stethoscope, the white lab code, etc.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And the caps. The headline is Trump cures cancer.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Than the bottom half is angry protesters in the streets
waving placards that say curing cancer is racist. We have
the right to die from cancer and we want our
cancer back.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's pretty accurate. We want our cancer back.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
The always dependable Marina from San Diego rights guys. There's
another meme going around. Adam Carolla may have had this idea. First,
not sure. He told Guttfeld that Trump should change the
name of ICE to NICE, the National Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Agency. Then the Dems would have to condemn Nice.
(33:54):
They would call for abolishing Nice. We hate Nice, get
rid of Nice, no more Nice. And then this it's
criticism from our old friend JT in Livermore. First of all,
he points out that one of us is having to disavow.
I disavow much more than the other one. Perhaps someone
(34:15):
is out of the control here in the in the
show what are we disavowing I'm often disavowing your insanity. Oh,
you're outrageous things you say terrible?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
All right, anyway, And.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Then then he also says, we appreciate he appreciates us
not wanting the show to be too dark, but he is, uh,
he says, which brings me to a certain member of
the show who, as of late, has seems is seemingly
obsessed with their impending demise. Said person is constantly bringing
up the limited number of breaths, limited number of days,
(34:49):
mentioning how they're in the winter of their life. In general,
seems to be obsessing over the mortality.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I see.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I don't love being constantly reminded of my own mortality
in a way above I love jocularity about death.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
But okay, anyway, we got a text.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
We got a text the other day from someone who said,
I've been listening for ten years. You were the most
depressing today you've ever been. That is fair criticism. Yeah,
that's not good. We got to find a way to
break out of that. It's tough when the times are
what they are, but we will try. We will try
not to be the darkest show in America, perhaps the
(35:28):
entire Western atmosphere. If you miss the segment and you
wanted the darkness, get the podcast Armstrong and get you
on demand Armstrong and Getty

Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Arms who live from Studio c SE Senor a dimly lit.
Speaker 2 (00:37):

Speaker 1 (00:38):
The Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound. Here we are on
Little Friday, and we are working under the tutelage of
our General.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Manager, Donald J. Trump and the art of the peace Deal. Yah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
A special consideration also given a Benjamin Nett and Yahoo
the bad cop, without whom the good would not have
had a chance. You think that's whoy I worked? Or
was Trump the bad Gump putting pressure on Netan?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yahoo?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Maybe they switched back in Fortan. No, No, I don't
think so. They're switches. They're like people who are into
that whole domination, submission sexual thing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
They're switches. Flip a coin. Maybe, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Uh No, you know, there's there's absolutely been some of that.
I think he has been wrangling both sides in his way.
My point was mostly because I've come across a couple
of just useless left leaning pieces of analysis that said, yeah,
it's a great deal. Get the hostages back. Why did
(01:39):
it take so long? Come on, you know, did Trump
get to deserve that much credit? Why didn't net Yang Man?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Were you?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Are you doom scrolling? I have taken in so much
media today. I don't think Trump has gotten this much praise.
Oh that's true from the mainstream media ever. I mean,
it's just amazing, it's absolutely. I was thinking about the
day after January sixth to today and the arc of
(02:05):
Donald Trump. I mean, the the people that just can't,
with a gun to their head say anything even semi
neutral about Donald Trump. They hate him so much, praising
him like crazy today. It's it's wild. It is wild,
and it's deserved too. And I've been thinking a lot
about the contrast between Trump and for instance, Joe Biden
(02:29):
and you know Obama and others and Republicans for that matter.
But Trump's boldness, which borders on goes into recklessness sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Absolutely it is.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And I'm not saying this to kick Joe Biden, who
has one foot in the grave and will be recorded
as one of his worst presidents ever and deserves it
without my trying. But the unwillingness to really do anything,
try anything bold, ruffle any feathers, break any eggs. That's
characterized a lot of American foreign policy for a long time.
(03:03):
We've finally seen the contrast and what a robust foreign
policy looks like.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I saw Ian Bremer, who very seldom has anything positive
to say, David Ignatius of the Washington Posts, both both
specifically naming Biden, saying Joe Biden couldn't do this right
and God forbid, Kamala Harris, can you imagine well another another.
So that's the most interesting thing about Donald Trump is
(03:34):
you know, his his his his worst, his own his
worst enemy on planet Earth is him. It always has
not even clubs. I mean in the fact that, like
you said, boldness becomes recklessness. The the other thing is
the willing to defy norms. I mean, sometimes it brings
amazing things that nobody thought could happen, that are good,
(03:54):
and sometimes it's horrible. So, yeah, what's the opposite of
picking your spots or picking your battles.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's Trump? Yeah, but chaos. But he.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
This might be the main thing that he's got going
for him. And also it makes it difficult for his life.
He does not care what other people think, right right, Yeah, right,
in my mind, I'm going to do what I think
is the best thing. Well, right, And he would, I'd imagine,
in the midst of these negotiations say no, the cutteries
have to say this to you know who Hamas and
(04:26):
advisors or learned men and women would say, Well, President
Trump traditionally the guitaris he'd.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Be like, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, he would tell him that he didn't do anything
throughout this peace process where he was thinking, I wonder
what the people at the Cato Institute are going to
write about this, that his mind right.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Is what has the conventional wisdom been here? Yeah, it
is absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And to see people dancing in the streets in Gaza
and Tel Aviv over this thing, right, I mean, that's
just stunning. It's an amazing achievement. Well, it's the beginning
of an amazing achievement. Fingers crossed. Yeah, you know, our
lips to God's ears.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
God.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I hope it works. I really really hope it works.
It'd be so good for so many people. Yes, and
the problem is Hamas.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But as many people following this closely have pointed out,
from Tom Friedman in the Washington Post, to everybody it's
the pressure because of the deal's Trump's made with all
these air people, the pressure that Arab countries have been
putting on Hamas.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's just been It's.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Never happened before where they look around like does anybody
support us anymore? No, nobody supports you anymore, including and
we're gonna have a clip of this later the gozzin's.
I just saw a report on News Nation. They had
a reporter embedded in Gaza. They were saying, this is
an exclusive, We're the only media outlet in Gaza talking
to people on the ground and asking him about Hamas,
(05:54):
and they were every person they talked to. No, Hamas
doesn't care about us. They've been ruining our lives for
seventeen years. Were done with them. So Hamas might have
looked around and had zero support from anybody.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All they have left is terror and the force of arms.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And so you know, a key part of this deal
is Hamas disarming, and I don't see that happening. So
it might just be, you know, the international folks and
Palestinians and Israel joined together and hunting down the last
of them. I couldn't know what UH saw. Farid zakaria
I think he is a smart thinker. On CNN last night,
(06:32):
said once they give back to hostages, which is gonna
happen on Monday, I guess or Trump says by Monday,
which I was kind of surprised.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I saw.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I always quote David Ignatius because I know he's got
tremendous sources inside of white houses in the Pentagon, so
he you know, he gets information with those people. He said,
I have zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned.
I thought, wow, I don't know. Wow, yeah, I know,
so I thought he's got some reason to believe that anyway,
you know, I'm just just a quick note. I happen
to hear an interview with the brother of one of
(07:04):
the believed to be living hostages, and he was explaining
it was heartbreaking that they.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Don't dare tell his daughters. Oh yeah, I can. I
can understand that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That their dad, who they barely remember because they're at
this point they're four and two years old.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh my god. No, I wouldn't tell them either. I
wouldn't tell what's the point.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Because there have been too many heartbreaks and nightmares.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And what condition is he going to be in right? Right?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Which is having been tortured and starved like all of
the hostages by these inhuman monsters.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now for two years.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They are inhuman monsters, and imagine how hard it is
to sit across a table from them and sign something
or shake hands or safe banks or.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Whatever you'd have to do. But uh, what was my
point I was going to make.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh, so David Ignatious with all his sources, is saying
he has zeroed out the hostages are going to be returned.
And then I said, Salver for Reid Zuccari on CNN, say,
once Hamas gives up the hostages, they have zer or
a leverage. That's their only leverage they've got on planet
Earth is those hostages, and that'll be gone as of Monday,
(08:08):
and then they just have to trust in an amnesty
and Trump rating net yaho, I guess. But that's why
Trump doesn't I'm sorry, that's why Hamas doesn't want to disarm. Yeah,
fighting that tooth and nail, all right, But you know,
and I understand why everybody says this is just the beginning.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well yeah, okay, but that's the way everything in life works.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Have a baby, Okay, you're enjoying having a baby, but
this is just the beginning. Yeah, I know, I know,
it's just the beginning, right, Yeah, yeah, Well I well,
and it'll take it. I don't know if that's that
me or not. No, but just as a an immediately
dismissive I mean, if you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Skepticism is not dismissiveness. But if you don't understand it's
only the beginning, you are a moron. That's true.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's what I'm saying about the baby thing. It's like
stating the unbelieve peably obvious.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
The peace in the Middle East for all time was
not declared last night and is going to be solid,
of course, but you got to start somewhere, and this
is the best.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Start that has happened. And I don't know, maybe ever.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Given the pressure coming from the Arab States, Yeah, I
would agree.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I thought this was interesting the idea that the reason
Trump could get the Arab States on board the way
he did is partially because of all the personal business
deals he and Jared have done with all these Arab
countries that a lot of people are fairly uncomfortable with given,
you know, in the presidency, out of the presidency, back
in the presidency. But that allowed them to build all
(09:43):
these relationships where they've got him and now they've got
you know, first name, Basis, got them on the cell phone,
You're on my favorites list, sort of relationships with all
these people, right right. That's fascinating it really. They got
to teach that in political science classes. Yeah, because you've
done big, multi billion dollar deals with Jared and these
(10:05):
other people, you trust them and know them. Yeah, and
a lot of it, Honestly, Biden esk in its mingling
of government and commerce. There's no denying that, definitely, But
it might just be in history is always more complicated
than people wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
But this might be a key element of the whole thing,
right right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It reminds me, in a weird way of how the
mob in New York especially would keep crime off the
streets in the neighborhoods it controlled. Some of what it
did was not good, but it could reach out and
stop bad people from doing bad things. And though I
don't approve of the co mingling of government and business,
(10:46):
although it's happening all the time anyway, there is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
No question that what you said was true.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
What a lesson for life or something that the of
this is the awful thing that was October seventh, two
years and two days ago led to this. Yeah, yeah, almost,
that's what was the energy to get here.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
This is you know, yeah, what does this look like
a year or two from now? I'm so interested.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I got to start taking care of myself so I
find out because if so, if it's dead enders, if
there wasn't peace in the Middle East, you're just gonna
let yourself go and maybe die pretty much within twenty
four months.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh the trend, I'm on place.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But if because there they are two real paths this
might go down. Number one was the you know, inevitable hiccups.
The piece deal works pretty much and continues down the
road it seems to be on. Possibility Number two is
that it doesn't and with the full blessing of the
(12:00):
United States of America, Israel finishes the job. Well maybe
either way Hamas and it's you know, the Iranian proxies
are dead. Yeah, maybe the full blessing of Katar in
Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Egypt. Also, do you think
we could get the hostages back and still kill Hamas? Yeah,
(12:22):
or render them irrelevant. That's the goal. It's not going
to be easy, but yeah, that's the goal.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh you know.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Another part of this, it is damned interesting, is to
get the how many hostages are they're dead and alive,
twenty twenty alive and twenty some dead. They believe they're
given back two thousand terrorists that Israel has locked up
two thousand basically Hamas warriors or Hamas adjacent.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Warriors that they're going to give a baisers certainly.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
And you remember that sinwar bastard that started this whole thing,
that was the or Straighter of the October seventh and
died in that rubble throwing a news rock at that drone.
That guy, he was one of the prisoners who got
let out last time. They had to do a big deal.
I mean, the people that they let out are bad
guys who can go on to do bad things. So
(13:16):
me interesting to see how that plays out. There's just
no question that we who cherish life are at a
disadvantage in that sort of negotiation with people who don't
give a damn, who are anxious for martyrdom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
We got to start the show officially.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
October ninth or twenty twenty five were armstrong and getting
we approve of this program.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Let's begin that officially according to the SEC rules, Rags
at Mark.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Constage us will come back, all coming back Monday.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
All that was Trump on the speaker phone in Israel
when the announcement happened, and people were cheering, just like
they were cheering in Gaza, which is quite amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
We got Katie's headlines on the way. We'll get to those.
Stay here, Armstrong and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Rook for the left, Let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with's Katie Green. Katie take it away?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All right?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
The Washington Post Israelis and Palestinians celebrate Gaza ceasefire deal
that would release the hostages.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, well, everybody's got to be happy and all ends
if this actually ends the hostility.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, we'll give you the big provisions of the deal
next segment.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I'm guessing they're certainly in the next half hour so.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
From the Wall Street Journal, Russian drones turned the streets
of Carson into a civilian kill zone.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Another really big strike.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, they're trying to terrorize civilians by murdering them. One
or two at a time with the drone strikes from
reading civilians getting out of their cars, its stores. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
From NBC after a summer break, bird flew is back
as waterfowl migrate.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh boy, boy, I thought I had it last year.
Remember I'm too remember this chilling? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
From the BBC, China's TikTok is recommending porn to children.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh my god, where is the TikTok deal? Where is that?
Somehow I lost track of that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, wait a minute, wasn't there something was going to
happen Monday three weeks ago or something I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
From USA today, Sober October is the new dry January
and more people are trying it.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
What is it just because it rhymes? I think?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I totally think.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I got any particular reason that you go drinkless in
October and January?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Or is it just rhyme? June drink out of a spoon.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Then you got August angel dust and then no, no, no,
Sober October.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Either drink or don't, but don't tell me about it.
And I don't care what your diet is either.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
From the New York Post, Florida Bar live streams It's
customer activity so those at home can hilariously watch.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh that's a great idea.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I tuned into this and it is hysterically.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
That is a great idea.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh no, it's too good an idea. People are going
to tune out of the show to go do that.
Mutsh Just give me.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
The link.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
From study fines poor sleep can make your brain age faster.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I know I'm doing that to myself.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
The National Inquirer nearly half of United States homes harbor
hidden mold, making them sick.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I doubt it, having been through this.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
There is so much money to be made on if
they can find one molecule of mold. Yeah, and I
have two questions. Who goes to the National Inquirer for
their science news? And two the National Inquirer still exists.
Those are both good points.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And finally, from the Babylon bee authorities warned, Katie Porter
has grown to six hundred feet and is currently rampaging
through San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh, we got more Katie Porter stuff going. Boy, she's
really become an internet sensation. That's the leading Democrat for
governor in California who turns out to be a bee.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh she's she's.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
A for se are you kidding graduated from B school
in Oh please, she's a monster worse than we thought.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh that's funny, Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The whole world came together, to be honest, so many
countries that you wouldn't have even.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Thought of it.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
They came together. The world has come together around this deal.
And that's something I would say that without that wouldn't happen.
It's been. It's been really an amazing period of time
and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for
the Arab countries, uh, and so great for this country,
(17:55):
for the United States of America, and that we could
be involved in making a deal like this happened.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
You know, the politics of it don't matter, at least
for today. But why do you think the crowd that
hates Trump so much or even we're in love with
this piece deal as soon as it arrived a week
ago and are so happy about it today and so
positive on Trump? Is it because he leaned on Israel
so hard. I just think the goodness of it, the
(18:26):
positive aspects of it, are impossible to ignore. I mean,
you would have to engage in some serious, serious delusion
really not to say, hey, this is a chance that
something really good happening, Right, It's like, if you know,
it's damn close to the joke that if Trump carried cancer,
(18:48):
Democrats would come out pro cancer and to be you know,
cynical or dismissive of this is damn close to that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
But I mean it's amazing. I mean, Trump's biggest detractors
are saying to give him credit on this one. Sure, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
And my god, if our politics were so far gone
that they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I mean, it's even worse than I thought it is.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Anyway, major aspects of the first phase of the deal,
which apparently has been agreed to, is all living hostages
held by Hamas are to be released.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Trump said.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
On Monday forty eight hostages, twenty believed to be alive,
the bodies of hostages.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Who have died or to be handed over. Later.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It said it would need at least ten days to
locate the bodies of dead hostages, according to people close
to the talks. God, and just imagine dealing with Hamas
and biting your tongue. Wow, right, Well, how about the
fact that the head Hamas negotiator was the guy Israel
tried to drop a bomb on his head.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
What was that a couple of weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh? Really that they missed and they got his son.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Wow, So on both sides, can you imagine? Yeah, well,
that's why.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's almost always the way it is at the end
of the war though, you know, and then you have
the Germans and the French sitowan. It's hard to imagine
either one of them being in the same room together.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Right, Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Another aspect of this Israel will release Palestinian prisoners. Israel's
expected to release two hundred once all the hostages are returned.
Israel has expected to release two hundred and fifty Palestinians
who are in Israeli prisons and seventeen hundred who have
been detained in Gaza during the conflict. They're finalizing who
is on that list and who's not, and Hamas is
(20:35):
pushing to get as many of the big name guys,
the worst guys released as possible, including Marwan Barguti, who
Israel jailed over his role in the Palestinian uprising in
the early two thousands. Kind of a celeb over there.
They got posters of them and such. Also part of
the deal, Israeli defense forces will withdraw from seventy percent
of the enclave. The deal includes a map of the
(20:57):
withdrawal lines, but without exact locations or coordinates beyond clave
being Gaza. Uh yeah, yeah, well they want they don't
want to be there. So the final lines, the final
preliminary lines, are still under discussion, apparently. And finally, the
Rafa crossing with Egypt will open to facilitate humanitarian aid
(21:20):
and allow for the entry and exit of Palestinians. But
of course, the dirty little secret of the Middle East
is ain't nobody wants them? Yeah, Egypt doesn't want any Palestinians,
Jordan doesn't want any Palestinians. Siria please, But man, the
rockets start stop coming in from Israel and the troops
aren't on the ground, and food starts flowing in. Yeah,
(21:42):
the average Gazin is going to be pretty happy with that.
So when all of that happens, what are the always angry,
eternal omnikause college kids going to be screeching about in
the streets? Good one, back to carving up healthy children
turning them into transsexuals.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Or what good one?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Or is there an angle of this that that that
they're pointing out? It's just horrible. Somehow I haven't heard
from that crowd in the last twenty four hours. You know,
a good representation of that crowd is actually, how quickly
can I find this stand by everybody?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
As a guy who just finds this sort of stuff
very interesting. Uh, the whole who the hell's gonna govern
Gaza thing is going to be really something to follow me.
Somebody's got to keep picking up the garbage and be
the police force and blah blah blah, all the things
that are you know, the civil society.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Who is that going to be right?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you know, not to be cynical, but anytime you
hear the term international peacekeeping force, keep in mind the
useless blue helmets of the UN. Who have you know,
a couple of modes Number one do nothing, number two
rape your women and girls, and steel.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So anyway, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
But I found the thing I wanted to mention a
couple of and it's a couple of media notes, but
they're you know, dancing the same steps as the always
angry college children who really ought to shut up and
study because they don't have nearly the life experience to
be going around telling the world I would ought to
run itself anyway. A NPR the other day interviewed a
(23:26):
human rights lawyer about the prospects for the peace proposal.
Diana Boutu, who was described as a Harvard University lecturer
and a human rights lawyer, was also a big Hamas supporter,
called October seventh a great thing.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
What did she call it to one?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
A year you know, fighting against the oppressor or whatever,
and she said she complained that Palestinians and amass are
expected to make any concessions at all. Then the war quote,
I think a bigger issue is why is it that
Palestinian has had to negotiate an end to genocide. NPR
described her as a human rights lawyer and former Palestinian
(24:09):
peace negotiator. She was a PLO apparatic and an Hamas supporter.
And also speaking of the media, good old Al Jazeera,
Cutter financed Muslim brotherhood run Islamist Al Jazeer.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So weird we're friends with the quitarist anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Cutter, facing pressure from Trump, has pushed its Hamas linked
news outlet Al Jazeera to reduce incitement to terror throughout
the Middle East. Israel's Channel twelve journalist to meet Siegel reported,
and you have to remember Al Jazeera has like a
different newsroom for different parts of the world. The Al
(24:49):
Jazeera US is quite a bit more careful than say
the Middle East Al Jazeera. But this Israeli news journalist
to report. He asks what's going on at Ali his era.
If you go onto its website, you'll see relatively mild
news items as opposed to the incitement that is usually
prominent on the Katari propaganda network. Qatar is carrying out
(25:11):
a purge at Al Jazeera, and the network is starting
to focus more on the humanitarian situation in Gaza quote,
instead of praising and boasting about the actions of Hamasa's
military wing. You know what Trump is saying behind closed
doors to his closest friends. This is what he believes
about the world at his core, and he's very close
(25:32):
to right. When it comes down to it, people want
to make money. That's the driving force, and that's what
may have brought all of this together is the personal
deals he and Jared and his family have been doing
with all these Arab countries and the Qatar thing. You
were just saying, when it got down to it, there's
(25:53):
rich people that want to get richer.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, that's what they want more than anything else. Well,
and this is always been true, but I believe Trump
is a little more nakedly frank about the silver or
lead deal.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
If they talk about the cartels offering, you know, officials
in Mexico, for instance, he went to the cutteries and
he said, look, you can either make a crapload of
money or I'll let Israel go nuts.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
So let's talk.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, and often, you know, that sort of transaction is
dressed up in fancy Sunday go to meet and clothes
in democracy, and people try to pretend it's not happening.
But I think Trump just probably at this point, especially
in this conflict, said look, yeah, he's got.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
A couple of choices.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It's not much different an offer than Pablo Salazar would
have given you that Escobar Pablo Escobar gave you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
You want to get rich or you want to die.
Those are your two.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Options, right, right, yeah, yeah, but this is in the
name of peace. Now, Islamism isn't going anywhere. But as Jack,
you know, I'm not telling you this, but a lot
of the hardest core Islamic supremacist, expansionist lunatics exist in
(27:19):
this uneasy alliance with the regimes that run their countries.
And if the regimes that run their countries start to think,
you know, these crazy bastards are more trouble than their worst.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, that could really, you know, be at.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Least a step in the right direction for you know,
resisting the expansion of fundamentalist Islam around world. Unfortunately, countries
in Europe have already let so many of those people in.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Man, there they got a problem. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Wouldn't that be something that at the same time that
Great Britain, France, Germany, these countries start to become or
have already become, beholden to their Islamists, that Saudi Arabia
and Egypt and tatar and places like this.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We've had enough of this.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, you could easily see a situation where NBS and
Cutter are saying a Muslim brotherhood, no, no, no more,
and Keir Starmer's saying.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
We must beware of islamaphobia. Yep, you're absolutely right. Wow,
what an interesting point in history.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Dr.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, I've heard the animal noises.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
This is Oh, like I say, I got to start
working out and put the bottle down because I really
want to see how.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
This all plays out.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I love that finding out out piece in the Middle
East plays out as a recent free to exercise and
stop drinking.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Oh see, the backstory is Judy was out last night.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He had dinner and went to a show with friends,
and I was at home watching playoff Baseball after I
watched my news is welcome back Baseball All night night Yankees.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, and they're just there may have been some liquid refreshment.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I watched Happy as can Be Philly's Dodgers was a
good game. Yeah, I didn't see that one.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Oh that was good, the best thing. And uh the
Dodgers had a chance to wrap it up and they lost.
Announce two one Dodgers. But my favorite thing about baseball
is when you bring in your ace in middle relief.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Because you feel like you got to and that's what
that's what they did. All the chips are on the table.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, yeah, it's just Oh that stuff is awesome. I
watched the Cubbies cling to life and the Yankees get vanquished.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
We have got mail bag on the way and so
much news.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
We haven't got to that scumbag that started the Palisades
fire that they arrested. The backstory on him is sure interesting,
among other things. I hope he can stick around.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
The return of the Sussages apostage.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
So journalist Mark Alvirin, writing in his newsletter today, it says,
the biggest story in the world today is a trade
announcement China made, not the Middle East. And if you
don't know what that is, and you probably don't, stay
tuned for hour two, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Wow. Yeah, looking forward to that.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, continuing the
series on change, This from a George Bernard Shaw. Those
who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
One of my favorite thinkers have made the point that
if you don't have the capacity to change your mind,
you're a moron. You know, I don't expect to change
my mind on certain that that's the definition of an idiot. Yes,
that's never change your mind. That's pretty good. That's pretty good,
(30:40):
right right. At some point, the preponderance of evidence of
something ought to be able to change your mind.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Depending.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's not to say you don't hold anything dear, I
mean uncompromisable, But if you never change your mind, it
would be a statement that I am right about everything.
I mean, can always have been and always have But
who could say that you say that out loud, but
well Trump could say that, actually Trump.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Was right about everything.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Here's your mail bag, Trump said, Nope, mail bag at
Armstrong Egeddy dot com speaking of the tangerine tornado. Oh
uh yeah, I gave the address. It's so rote At
this point I think, oh, you forgot to give the address.
While I'm giving the address. Mail bag at Armstrong he
Getty dot com. Breaking news, Rich Rides, breaking news, Hitler
broker's piece deal between Hamas and Israel.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, can we check back with everybody who's are dropped
in h bomb?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Recent?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is he still Hitler? Just just checking?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Then this.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
From rote Her, gentlemen, love your show as of September.
I've been a listener for over ten years. I wish
I'd found you sooner. That's very kind of you to say,
thank you very much. I wish you had found us sooner. Also,
ten years is what the potholders, right, Yeah, you get
the Armstrong Getdy potholders in the mail.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
They're in the mail, So look forward to receiving that.
Five years is the up admit, right?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Then the complete set of potholders, and then twenty years
of course is the engraved pen set?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Very nice Mount blanc.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Ish anyway, he writes, if Trump were my neighbor, I'm
sure I wouldn't like him.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
He's arrogant, pompous, bossy, etc. Etc.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Thank god he had the fortitude to survive the law
fair and run for president a second time.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Lesser men would have given up.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He's the most transformative president in my lifetime, and I've
been alive since Truman. He's put America first, He's closed
the border. He's trying to reign and excessive spending not
hard enough, but I'll get back to your email. He's
trying to bring peace to the Middle East. Etcat Center's
energy and commitment to the presidency are amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well, his first term wasn't as productive because he had
to fight the Russia collusion. Lies in being new to politics.
He listened too much to the go along to get
along the Republican establishment. I'm sure the end results will
be mixed, but just imagine how awful it would be
without his leadership.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
At this time, we've got three years and three months left.
They can't possibly be correct, Michael checked the mathematics. It's correct.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I know John sent this along based on our conversation
of only a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
It's a meme.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's Trump in a hospital ward wearing the full doctor outfit,
the stethoscope, the white lab code, etc.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
And the caps. The headline is Trump cures cancer.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Than the bottom half is angry protesters in the streets
waving placards that say curing cancer is racist. We have
the right to die from cancer and we want our
cancer back.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's pretty accurate. We want our cancer back.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
The always dependable Marina from San Diego rights guys. There's
another meme going around. Adam Carolla may have had this idea. First,
not sure. He told Guttfeld that Trump should change the
name of ICE to NICE, the National Immigration and Customs
Enforcement Agency. Then the Dems would have to condemn Nice.
(33:54):
They would call for abolishing Nice. We hate Nice, get
rid of Nice, no more Nice. And then this it's
criticism from our old friend JT in Livermore. First of all,
he points out that one of us is having to disavow.
I disavow much more than the other one. Perhaps someone
(34:15):
is out of the control here in the in the
show what are we disavowing I'm often disavowing your insanity. Oh,
you're outrageous things you say terrible?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
All right, anyway, And.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Then then he also says, we appreciate he appreciates us
not wanting the show to be too dark, but he is, uh,
he says, which brings me to a certain member of
the show who, as of late, has seems is seemingly
obsessed with their impending demise. Said person is constantly bringing
up the limited number of breaths, limited number of days,
(34:49):
mentioning how they're in the winter of their life. In general,
seems to be obsessing over the mortality.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I see.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I don't love being constantly reminded of my own mortality
in a way above I love jocularity about death.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
But okay, anyway, we got a text.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
We got a text the other day from someone who said,
I've been listening for ten years. You were the most
depressing today you've ever been. That is fair criticism. Yeah,
that's not good. We got to find a way to
break out of that. It's tough when the times are
what they are, but we will try. We will try
not to be the darkest show in America, perhaps the
(35:28):
entire Western atmosphere. If you miss the segment and you
