Speaker 1 (00:00):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jettie and he.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Armstrong.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
And yet you know we start every Monday with that
junior high band attempting to play. And here we are
at the end of the school year, and I don't
feel like they've improved a bit in the entire the
entire year. So it's because the band directors. It's too
soft time, more screaming, more throwing of keys.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
And batons like old.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
School band directors live from studio C signor dimly lit
room to put them the bowels of the Armstrong and
Getty Communications compound. And hey, y'all, here we are under
the tutelage of our general manager. Yeah, mine are discouraging.
You got any good ones? Well, I'll tell you what
I noticed on the Sunday shows yesterday. At least I

(00:59):
tuned in the big getting of them. Every single one
of them had a different lead theme. So there is
no dominating story right now other than the freaking terrorist
attack that happened in Boulder, Colorado yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's just so ugly.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
I was thinking co general managers chaos and ugliness.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
They'll be a job sharing.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Who wants to chaos has to pick up her children
in the afternoon, whereas ugliness is freemost afternoons. It is
a great relationship. But a new week, new month, you
don't want to start with chaos. How about summer vacation,
A lot of school kids getting done the college or
my son. But my kids, it's the last week of school. Sure,

(01:39):
I mean, what's more optimistic and uplifting than that. I'm
happy for them, their optimism, their excitement rubs off on me.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
To more not listening up.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Their excitement rubs off on me, except for my life
gets harder while gets easier.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Which is kind of a funny thing. There you go,
you go.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
You feel in that bitterness. Seat back in, There you go.
There's it, love it.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm comforting. Yeah, I'm telling.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
You nonety times, folks, nonety times. Perhaps you've noticed, but
you know what, just remember this. A kiss is still
a kiss. Sunrise is still a beautiful life affirming thing.
Sip of cold pepsi with a hot hot dog. Hot
hot dog is probably pour a bit of writing there,
but anyway, a sip of pepsi with a hot dog. No,

(02:28):
I said a no, no, no, Michael. Did you hear
what he did there? He took all of the art out.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Of my sentence.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
He sure did, and hey, sure did, is right, and
he reduced it to this pedestrian jes see Jane run crap.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
He sure did, Hey sure did. Oh jeez, I know so. Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Somebody that shouldn't have been in the country in the
first place. They're in Boulder, Colorado, throwing molotov cocktails of people,
setting people on shouldn't have been here anyway?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Was that an illegal I hadn't heard that update.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, yeah, well overstayed something and then kept getting re
upped on his paperwork even though he didn't qualify in
any way whatsoever. It's just say somebody came in and
got to stay thing once again. We ought to be
more careful about.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That, I would say.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
So. Well, it's only a eighty twenty issue, like so
many issues these days, and you have two in a
week and three and two months with people killed or
nearly killed, with somebody shouting free Palestine, which seems to
me ought to raise it to the level of a
terrorist slogan that you can't scream on college campuses. People

(03:42):
lost their jobs by saying black lives matter. I think
all lives matter. That became a phrase. You cannot say,
people lost them. Nobody got killed saying that people are
being killed by people yelling free Palestine.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yet you can still scream it on college campuses.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I guess, or globalize the in which means murdered Jews
all over the world, right right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
This guy seemed pretty nutty, and.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I'm sorry before we move on, you remember the greatest
threat to homeland security is right wingers, right, yeah, not Islamism,
which continues to encircle the globe and try to take
it over. I personally know someone quite well who just
bought a gun, who is a lefty and is a
super progressive, who bought the first gun of their lives.

(04:27):
Can't believe they bought a gun, but they thought they
had to because of the rise of angry white right
wingers who are upset about being replaced. You're crazy, You're crazy.
That is not the threat per action. You had to
introduce me to them. I'm an angry white right winger
and I'm not going to shoot anybody.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Letst They've got it coming.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So they had it up with Israel parade there in Boulder,
Collar id in this nut job illegal showed up. He's
middle Eastern of some sort and he was Muhammed something
or other. Yeah, and just to be specific, it was
a please free the hostages right march. Yeah, I mean
it wasn't Israel whoop aass on Hamas.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
It was just turned the innocence loose. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
It could not be more morally defensible and gentle a sentiment.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, how would you not agree with that? That's a
good point. Journal's lomeest scumbag. That's why. Well, if you
want to look at the head the same hang.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Did the County Square there in Boulder, although Boulders so
woke it won't happen. CBS's headline at least last night
was attack at Boulder's Pearl Street mall in Colorado burned
several people.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
With attack that burned people.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, yeah, nothing about the politics of it there, what's
were scary scary right wingers targeting black or trans Absolutely,
it would be the country would come to a stop,
the President would address us.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
And NBC News was a little more descriptive, but still
did not get at the anti semitism and the hate
that seems to be rampant and is consistently like every weekend. Now,
multiple gaza hostage awareness marchers injured in attack in Bolder Man.
That is an antiseptic headline for a terrorist attack. The

(06:09):
FBI is calling in a terrorist attack now. The Boulder
police they came out and said, we don't think it's
a terrorist attack yet, so we're not willing to join
on it. Churs Boulder is like Berkeley, Yeah, in terms
of their Bolder you're covering yourself in shame.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Enjoy.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
So the coverage of it is interesting. It's you know,
it was the early hours of this last night, and
we'll get into it a little more later. But uh,
guy was pretty nutty, would seem he did set himself
on fire. That if you've seen the videos, that's why
he was shirtless his first attempt. He set himself on
fire and had to take his shirt off and stomp

(06:49):
it out before he started burning other people. But there
are people clinging to life. There is a murder charge
in the FBI indictment. Nobody's exactly sure what that's all
about yet though, because nobody's been announced to have died,
but there are people with near death injuries. Can you
imagine anything worse than that small town parade and you're

(07:10):
and people are on fire, rolling on the ground, and
there's no water nearby, So everybody who's running over to
the town fountain trying to fill up whatever receptacle they
have and running back to the people and trying to
pour water on them as they rolled around screaming in agony.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Oh my god. And it's horrific. It's about as horrible
as anything you can imagine, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Which makes you wonder why you would end up with
a headline, you know, given that scene and the guy
screaming Free Palestine the entire tire time, how would you,
in an Middle Eastern accent, which you know, kind of
helps you understand a little bit about what's going on,
how you end up with a headline attack at Boulders
Pearl Street and Mall in Colorado burns several people. Yeah,
the depths of dishonesty and self delusion in the media

(07:51):
is pretty well documented, but in a case like this,
it astounds me.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Anew, it's amazing. As Charles CW.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Cook of The Review retweeted, a headline purposely written to
convey the absolute minimum of information so as to smother
the story. Right, that's exactly right. We shall You've got
to take heart. If you're looking for an optimistic note, friends,
it's that we are eighty twenty strong on this stuff,

(08:19):
all of this stuff, including you know, boys and girls,
sports and you know I was just reading that's a
sixty six, like twenty seven issue among Democrats, right right, Well,
they have nothing but the academy, academia and the media.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
So keep fighting. Take heart, friends, Take heart.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Plus, Jack points out, summer vacation is here, so row
on your flip clops. Joey col PEPSI in a hot
hot dog course, I did it again. Let's start the
show officially, which has some good news in it from
my perspective. Anyway, In our opening clip, I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Here it is oh brand new month, rent is due
and it's two damns.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Monday, June second. You're twenty twenty five. We're Armstrong and getiyon.
We approve of this program.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Let's begin the show officially.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Then, according to FCC rules and regulations, we start at Mark.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
The Ukrainian Security Service able to use mobile wooden homes,
essentially the roofs of them. Seem to have opened up
and allowed these clouds of drones remotely piloted to target
some of Russia's most important long range strategic bombers. Forty
one damaged according to Ukraine's Security Service, air bases that
must have fought. They were basically far enough away to

(09:31):
be impregnable.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
They're calling it inside Russia, Russia's Pearl Harbor. One of
the most amazing attacks in the history of warfare, according
to many, that Ukraine pulled off over the weekend, taken
out about a third of Russia's long range bombers with
these drones that they had hidden in these little shacks
and somehow gotten into Russia. It's really quite the thing.

(09:54):
We'll get into more details on that a little bit
later talking to my clients about it, and I can't
wait for that in our three of the show, our
Military Analyst, just because I'm so curious about the advantages
of drones as opposed to missiles and that sort of thing,
because it's an incredibly sophisticated plan that took them a

(10:14):
year to come up with and execute as opposed to
just shooting ordinance, And what are the advantages of drones disadvantages?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Why did they do it like this? Can't wait to
talk to Mike.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Well and Ian Bremmer tweeted out on this attack. Until now,
Putin hasn't felt there are any costs to continuing the war.
Ukraine just changed that equation with one of the most
extraordinary asymmetrical attacks we've ever seen in modern warfare. Might
actually get his attention and think, hmmm, continuing this could
have downsides for me. There's so old peace talks starting today.

(10:46):
Oh please, that's a joke. Or it might flip a
switch and have them say conquest requires the killing of millions.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Let's kill some millions. Yep, we'll see.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
We got Katie back. Katie is Maxwell of Katie these headlines.
We got more news of the day and all kinds
of stuff to get to. Here's our text line four
one five two nine five kftcart So, just a clarification
after Russia's Pearl Harbor over the weekend, in Ukraine's amazing attack,
you said this might cause Russia to hit back even harder.

(11:20):
Are you suggesting that perhaps Ukraine shouldn't have done this?
Oh no, no, I'm just saying that's one of the
two alternatives. It's a choose your own adventure book, right,
and Vladimir Putin is gonna choose how to respond. Hmmm,
all right, cool, we'll I'm looking forward to talking to
Mike Leines about this later. He was super excited about
how amazingly successful it was the Ukrainian attack, and we

(11:42):
have him on later.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
M Let's figure out who's supporting what.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's a weak story with Katy Green, Katy, welcome back,
hit it, thank you.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Starting with Reuters, Iran poised to dismiss US nuclear proposal,
according to Iranian diplomat.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh really, okay, well, this will be yet another giant
global potential war in which the ball is in Trump's.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Court and how he reacts.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yes's just reading a little breakdown of this. Both sides say, yeah,
we're approaching a deal. The US says the one red
line is enrichment. No way Iran can enrich another iota
of uranium, and Aaron says, yeah, we're getting closest to
a deal, but the one thing we will always preserve
is our right tour enrich So.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Please from Breitbart, like you guys mentioned suspect an anti
Semitic terror attack in Boulder is illegal alien admitted into
country under Biden.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now that's a headline. That's some information.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well, and then the weirdness of our system where you
get to stay with all these different kinds extended work
visas he didn't have a job ever.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
So what was that? Wow from USA? Today?

Speaker 5 (12:50):
US stock futures lower after Trump's steel and aluminum tariff threats.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, and I'll tell you what. There's one story I've
checked out of.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
It's the ar story. Yeah. Yeah, let me know when
something firms.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Up from the Wall Street Journal. Harvard has trained so
many Chinese communist officials they refer to it as their
party school.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I can't wait to get to that. Where's the headline
on that Wall Street Journal? Oh really? Oh wow? Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
We are spending a great deal of time and effort
to educate the best and brightest Chinese communists and have
been for generations.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Which is it excusable?

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Back when we thought we were drawing Chinese China out
to become.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
A citizen of the world, a nation like other nations.
But no, that ship is.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Long ago sailed, and we're still doing it for the money.
Hi caroambo. We're so dopey. We deserve to fall apart
as an empire. From Seagine Julius Caesar announcing the generous subsidies,
and well, there aren't subsidies because we're money grubbers. But
Julius Caesar opening up the academy for barbars. We want

(14:01):
to make sure the barbarians are up on all the
latest weaponry and techniques of war.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
From CNN, climate activist Greta Dunberg joins aid, ship sailing
to Gaza.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, I saw that. So that's she's got a new thing. Huh,
this is her new thing, the Palestinian.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Damned Well, it's you're doing it publicly, so that isn't important.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
That is an ugly scene, even, you know, regardless of
the Uh, who could stop it or make it worse
or whatever?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
H What an ugly, ugly situation. You have stolen my dreams.
From The New York Post.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Three hundred and thirty four pounds man sus Walt Disney
World Over injuries sustained on water slide that didn't.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Support his weight.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Wow, so you're three forty and because they didn't make
it for somebody who weighs three hundred and forty pounds,
you deserve money.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Oh they should have kept him off of that.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
He should have said, give him jumbo, the old ho
ho ho. Hang on there, big boy, all right, food giant,
come here and have a good time.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
But you're not going down in this slide. You got
to have the guts to do that. The concession stands
over there. Why don't you wait till your family gets done?
The jumbo and food giant?

Speaker 5 (15:25):
What From the New York Times, Sydney Sweeney's fans wanted
her bath water and now.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
They can buy it.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, yeah, it's got some of her bath water in it.
Like if you get the the lotions and the perfume
and a variety of different things, have so much.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
There's just a little bit of her bathwater in it,
tiny bit.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
The whole matter. She's so hot, I would drink her bathwater.
Phrase that's been around for many years.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
And finally the Babylon.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Bee Elon Musk leaves job of making government more efficient
for much easier job of sending humans to Mars.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, no, kidding. The truth to that there is there,
absolutely is. Are there people so hot you would drink
their bath water?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Is a good question.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I question whether the drinking of the bath water would
indeed establish any sort of emotional much less sexual connection
between me and the object to my desire. There is
a bit of a disconnect, there isn't there. What am
I getting out of drinking the bath water? I'm not
close enough for eight to twelve cluss an upset stomach,
great deal of vomiting, some sort of gastro intestinal disorder.

(16:36):
So I don't think it's as sexy as you imagine.
We got some more news of the day to get
to and mail bag, so I hope you can stigu.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Around are strong and getty.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Do you make your kid go to school the last
day of school?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Do you make your kid.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Go to school the last week of school? I don't
make my kids go to school the last couple of
days of school. I don't to the point most of
the teachers would rather you keep your kids home anyway,
at least around here. My parents, they made us go
to school every single day, all the way to the
very last day of school.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Every year. I have cleaned a lot of disks.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
That is what we did the last week of school
when I was a kid, So what was the point
of sending me to school on the last few days
of school?

Speaker 2 (17:16):
But I'm not doing that.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
My kids stay home, baby, this summertime.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Time to go interesting. Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
True that in many cases this is not the case
of my high school. Or they're doing finals all week long,
so it's like the most intense week of the year,
this last four days.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
But in general I remember a lot of those final days.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
I don't know about the whole week, but certainly several
days of not a lot of learning going on, just
kind of no, No, you're fulfilling the minimum number of
days of school required by your State's a lot of movies, yeah,
a lot of movies. And I hate to get this
cynical about well, how do you not get cynical about
the whole school thing after COVID and the shutdown and

(18:00):
everything we learned, But there's a lot of days that
are you got to have a certain number of kids
in school to get the federal funding or the state funding.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
That's why we're that's why we're here today.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
I was just going to say her sentiment that the
tapechers don't want them there.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, they do.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
The administration sure does, because you get you got to
take attendance, and then you get your funding based on
your per student. You know, the amount from your state.
That's Another thing we should demand is every day that
you make my kid be there is an instruction day
of this level. You want your federal funding be teaching something.

(18:38):
And I'd say with the success in terms of reading
and math, and the proficiency scores and all that, I
got plenty to back up my side of the argument,
right right, Well, and if you've got all that stuff down,
pat give me twenty four hours. I will come up
with a list of enrichment activities that you could do

(18:58):
on those last few days that you're teaching the kids something.
How about the useful nots? How about you know, the
basic financial literacy. Of course that's so important it shouldn't
be left a chance. But I mean, how do you
use a navigation system? Is there anything? What did my
seventh grader say the other day to me, Oh, we
were watching there was a joke about They used the
joke the punchline was Robert E.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Lee And my son said, who's Robert E. Lee? He's
in said, oh, so yeah, how about that day you
teach the Civil War?

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Oh, anyway, I'm sure there was some sort of pride
celebration that bumped that off the schedule exactly. Anyway, civil
War was when one group of white supremacists fought another
group of white supremacists to see who would be the
ultimate white supremacists, and they accidentally freed some black people.
I wanted to nail this down for you, just because

(19:50):
it came up several times. So that guy, if you've
seen the video, he looks like a white guy. So
that that was the confusing to a lot of people.
Shirtless white guy and in some grass there in Boulder, Colorado,
with a couple of bottles in his hand, and he
was setting people on fire because he ates Jews, is
what was going on there. He looks less white in

(20:10):
his picture that he used to get into the country.
This is confirmed by dh S sources to Bill Millusion
of Fox. The Boulder terror suspect is an Egyptian national
in the US illegally as a visa overstay. He entered
the US during the Biden administration. Mohammad Sabre Solomon arrived
at lax in twenty two on a B one B

(20:32):
two non immigrant visa with an authorized stay through February
of twenty three, but he overstayed had never left then
he got it re signed up with some sort of
work authorization. Although there's no information whatsoever that he ever
worked anywhere, but he was illegal. Why he overstates his
first visa and then you give him a work authorization?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
It we got it, obviously.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
One of the points of that is we got to
come up with a better system or stick to the rules.
Or the people that want open borders, they know that
there's no follow through.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's all, it's all a farce. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, and here I am griping about this guy overstaying
a visa when millions, literally millions of people were allowed
to just march in there for they were so yeah, yeah,
it's kind of discouraging speaking of our hardworking undocumented friends.
Illegal aliens are being recruited to joint sophisticated criminal networks
in the US that stage accidents and injuries to get

(21:26):
payouts through the nation's personal injury system. House Republicans told
Attorney General Pam Bondi. A group of Republicans warned Bondi
the personal injury fraud is a growing industry in the
US that requires immediate attention from the do OHAN. So
is this the uh I kind of like step in
front of a moving car, Oh my leg do that
whole routine.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Exactly slipping Jimmy is slipping Jose on the hood. D
what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Roll? Probably settle my name, Jed. You don't go with
your arm. They can X ray that my neck, my back.
You can't really x rayling and numbness. Yeah, in particular,
excuse me. The Republicans noted that a criminal ring operating
in Louisiana staging vehicle accidents with commercial trucks, resulted in
sixty three individuals, including PLAINTUS attorneys, getting indicted as part

(22:16):
of a federal probe into the scheme. Also appears that
the legal immigrants are being recruited as part of these schemes,
sometimes as a requirement to pay coyotes who helped them
cross the border. Numerous cases highlight the intersection of a
legal immigration alleged abuse abuse of the personal injury system,
with some plaintiffs reportedly using litigation loans and workers' compensation

(22:36):
payments to repay debts owed to human smugglers. You know,
I've always kind of wanted to do this sort of thing,
just to see how easy it is to do the
slip in Jimmy act. Well, like, remember I got rear
ended in my brand new cyberbeast, like two weeks after
I bought it.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
This is a month or so ago.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I got rear ended, got hit pretty hard, and if
I had gone immediately, Oh god, my neck, Oh geez,
my fingers are numb. You know that routine, even though
I was fine, Uh, who's going to stop me?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
What? What?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
What mechanism would stop me from continuing to claim that
and his insurance company, My insurance company goes after his
insurance blah blah blah. Right, I find that despicable discouraging
because it happens every day. But I would I would
be kind of interested in how easy it is to
do that and pull it off being perfectly fine. The
only way I could, you know, morally do it is

(23:26):
if at some point I Houdini like, pull the curtain off,
open up the curtain. Dah, I'm perfectly fine. You this
as a sting, and lots of people do this all
across the country all the.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Time, and we need to fix it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Then I'd be thrown in jail for fraud or something
probably so yeah, although then GoFundMe would start and you'd
be a millionaire exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's the way these things work.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, there are better ways to manage
your money. Speaking of which, a quick word from our

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Though this has been a scam for a long time.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
But if people from other countries are coming here and
figuring out the United States is so weird and lawyered
up and soft and blah blah blah, that all you
got to do is leap up on the hood of
a car and claim your neck hurt so you can
get lots of money.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
We're doomed. We gotta or we got to fix our system.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
A yes, yeah, I'm very pessimistic about the idea of
fixing the system honestly, although you're absolutely right. Yeah, but
what's happening here. And we've talked to people in social
services and law enforcement and all sorts of different walks
of life who pointed out that when you import people
in large numbers who come from societies where the only

(25:40):
way you can get ahead or get stuff or get
richer than you are is to game the system. You
figure out the system, you game it, you know, And
I could give you various examples of that, but they're generally,
you know, socialist countries, communist countries form communist countries, and
those people immediately look for the loopholes. They look for

(26:03):
the opportunities and say our you know, compensation for injuries
systems here they think, wow, that's just that is ripe
fruit plucked and it's low to the ground, and they
do it. Probably too late for my little car wreck
to claim blurred vision and numbness, right, I'm probably not
How long ago was it? Six eight weeks? You cut

(26:26):
me in. I'll say, you've been complaining about it since
that day. Ah, perfect, Michael, happy to help.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, I'd like to be part of this as well.
There you go, see how see it is to make friends.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
I'd like to be part of this very vocal public
fraud myself. Boy.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
So we mentioned it earlier.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
We the United States have stupid have been educating communist
Chinese officials for years and years to make sure they're
extra good at governance.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
In particular. It's just insane and incredibly lucrative. I'll tell
you about that too. Awesome. So we got mail bag
on the way.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
We got another transathlete winning contest sort of situation where
the girls involved refused to participate in the whole awards ceremony.
Way to go, ladies. Yeah, so we'll have to get
to that story a little bit later. The two year
old that ended up on the baggage thing at the

(27:30):
Newark Airport is getting a lot of attention.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Have you seen that video? No, just heard about it.
We can't go around with the bags. I'm surprised that
doesn't happen more often.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
But then I also have some real news to get to,
and we got Joe's mail bag coming up next.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm the subject we are just talking about.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
We got a text from somebody who's doing one of
the many dream jobs I would like to have. Hey, fellas,
I work as a fraud surveillance investigator. I hunt down
fraudsters and get video of the actively violating their claims.
It's really fun. Some of these people really claim they
can't stand or walk, yet I get footage of them
building backyard fences, working second jobs, or just staying home
and taking care of the kids.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I would love that job. I would take so much
satisfaction in that. That's my next chapter. I think, Oh
that would be good.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Oh yeah, wow, cool job, man, I hope it pays
pretty well.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Saw you out there water skiing? Hi? There. I'm Jack Armstrong,
fraud investigator.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
You're under arrest read yeah, exactly, fadulous.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
One of your founding Papa's not discussed that much, but
a wise man, Lysander Spooner.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
I don't know if I know that name Spooner. I
just met her anyway, he said, quote. The only security
men can have for their political liberty consists in keeping
their own money in their own pockets. M yeah, well
the government disagrees these days, Lesander. You wouldn't believe the
taxes mailbag, feel free.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
To reach out.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Drop us an email mail bag at Armstrong geddy dot com.
Mail bag at Armstrong geeddy dot com.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Not from Dan here, guys.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
I was just forced to download a security update from
my iPhone and a gay Pride flag came along with
the download.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Are you kidding man? Yep, yep, yep, yep yep.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
So the download, they say you gotta do it for
some new virus that's out there or something like that.
So Apple's saying, download the latest, but it also includes
some gay pride stuff that you now have access to,
YIPI mojis and whatnot. So for yeah, the little graphic explains,
oh he hasked to chat GPT if I can delete it,

(29:41):
You cannot delete the Pride Harmony wallpaper directly. The best
way to delete it is simply not to choose to
use it as your wallpaper.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, thank Yeah, you don't have giving us that option.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
You don't have to use the emojis or the wallpaper.
It's just included in the updated Right, moving along, I
can't keep up, writes Chris. For months from the left,
I heard about Elon's drastic slashing of the government.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That'll kill people.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Now he left, and all I hear from the left
is that he didn't cut enough. I can't keep up
with the shifting sands of the left. Chris from Saint Louis, Roseville,
Lake Zurich in Springfield, Missouri. How many houses are off?

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Chris?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I saw Elon yesterday and his Occupy Mars T shirt.
I'm glad he's focused on that. Let's let's get that going,
see how far we can go. Well, we put somebody
on Mars in my lifetime. I mean, that's that's fascinating stuff.
And there are some great guys still involved in the
Doge project. It could still bear some fruit I don't.
We are so headline driven in clickbaity as a society.

(30:42):
The idea of a long running, you know, group of
people who's going to study government efficiency and cut it
where they can and offer up suggestions James, Oh, nobody
has any time for something patient and cerebral. That was
his point last week, is that they've put some systems
in place to take a look at expenditures that didn't
exist before. It was just an automatic sign off on

(31:04):
so hey, I need four million dollars for this? Okay,
where do I sign without anybody looking into it? And
now they've got a system for looking into it. That's
a good That's good right, And I'm hearing even very
smart people who I respect offering up the question, was
DOZ a success or a failure? Well, clearly a failure.
They didn't come anywhere close to the goals. Moving along,
it's still happening. Crazy, smart guys are trying their best anyway.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Let's see.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
On the topic of extremists, mikey lukewritz, guys firebombing Colorado
senior citizens. Our fight is here in our homeland, not
in a country far away, but here in America. Increasingly,
let's see how about this, Ah Kevin, who's a Russian
apologist in the classical sense. He makes arguments in favor

(31:56):
of frequently Jence. Well, I'm sure you old warriors will
be crowing obnoxiously about how great Ukraine is and how
giant Zelenski's Schwantz is, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Don't hit send when you're drunk, brother, It's just not
a good look. It seems a little over the top.
It does, it really does.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I don't think many people realize how destabilizing the attack
on russia nuclear facilities could be. I'm not sure exactly
what he's referring to. A bunch of those long range
bombers were the bombers you would use to pull off
a nuclear attack as part of the nuclear whatever you
call it. Arsenal oh I see, Okay, nuclear facilities. Okay,

(32:39):
that's a stretch that's generally for too power generation anyway,
Now I get it. It's because of nuclear treaties that
all of those planes were out in the open, same
with the silos and the submarine base that was also hit.
Ukraine struck Russian nuclear infrastructure without any notice of the US.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
That's an insane thing.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
To do. How can we trust to Ukraine? Is a
nuclear response from Russia warranted at this point?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
So Russia, who every week sets a new record for
large attacks against just indiscriminate everything, schools, buses. If a
bunch of people are gathered at uh To to get
on a bus, you kill them, that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Ukraine fights back. That's a horror. That's that's cause for
nuclear war.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
That's ridiculous, only meant specifically part of the nuclear arsenal.
But anyway, I'm I aired it. My job here is done.
Jeff with a G on Natural writes, good morning, old
simple Jack and big Freedom, longtime consumer, your glorious talk product.
Minor correspondent for subjects such as killer clowns on the

(33:45):
Edge of the Woods updates. I've also been married to
a liberal in all caps for the past decade. When
it comes to politics, we rarely see ida. But we're
also not in our twenties, and we didn't start our
journey by establishing our political beliefs.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, that aside. She threw me for a loop yesterday.
They were taking a trip to the zoo.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
She jumps in the car, had a little soft rock
on the radio, and what I heard next will shock you.
The better half gets in the car, here's one court
of music and immediately says, throw on some Armstrong and getty.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Oh so this is a great day for America. Jents
Wright stuff, Wow, that's beautiful. Best to the little woman.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
And just because we have different ways of seeing things
doesn't mean we can't be friends.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
My goodness, I would like to learn from you. Perhaps
you can learn from me.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, I would like to hear more of that. How
you make a different politics long term relationship work?

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Do you just not talk about it? Is that the
best way to go about it? Yeah? That would seem
practically effortless to me. Honestly.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
I actually brought up politics last night to Judy over
dinner because it was on my mind, and as I
was speaking the words, I thought, Wow.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I never do this.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
You don't ever bring you don't. You don't ever bring
up any political anything at home, not much unless it
has a direct bearing on our lives, you know, local ordnance,
a tax, that sort of thing. Like It's never been
an issue with me really in my life, but but
I like, I know somebody whose spouse is big on
like going to all the marches and stuff like that,

(35:20):
and they aren't down with it. I mean, like that
would be I ain't going to the march, ain't marching
with you, love you, whatever you know, forever, but I ain't.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Marching with you in this freaking parade right right.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I'm curious which side of the aisle were marching on
in this scenario, but it doesn't really matter. That's your
super lefty marches. Yeah, oh lord, oh right. I couldn't
do that.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Can I go and heckle you? Sweetheart? Wouldn't that be fun?
How about if we scream each other. I'll be the
one on the sideline. You may. We be screaming f
you at each other. Then we'll get in the same
car and dry home. We'll get on TV.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, strong and getty

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Yah
