Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty arm Strong
and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
But on Friday, it is important to see how serious
Puttin is and the only one who can do that
is President than Trump. So it's really crucial that the
meeting takes place. It will not be the final sale
on this. There will not be the final deal on this.
Of course Ukraine got to be involved in Europe, but
it is important to start the next phase of this
(00:43):
process putting pressure on the Russians exactly as President and
Trump has been doing over the last six months.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, that's pretty interesting in light of what Trump
just said a few minutes ago. That's the NATO General Secretary,
and I saw him on whatever show he was on yesterday,
was on a couple of them saying that this is
a process only Trump can figure out where Putin is.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well, let's hear what Trump said a few minutes ago,
and it fits in with that.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
This is really a feel out beating a little bit,
and President Putin invited me to get involved. He wants
to get involved. I think I believe he wants to get.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It over with.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I've said that a few times that.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I've been disappointed because I have like a great call
with him, and then missiles would be lobbed in Takiev
for some other place, and you'd have sixty people laying
on a road dying.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I said, that's cold. That's cold man. That doesn't sound
like a guy that's going to roll over. No, So
so now it makes more sense to me what this is.
I mean, this is the only thing I debated. There
was the idea that Putin lost. I think Putin lounst
then this time. Yeah, no, I Trump has said that
a couple of times in recent days. I think he
(01:55):
wants peace. No, he does not, absolutely doesn't. So that's troubling.
It's possible. It's possible Trump's just doing the sales guy
thing where you try to convince somebody or shame them
into doing what you want. I hope that's what it is,
or just not show your cards that you know what
they're up to. I hope it's not that he actually
(02:17):
believes Putin wants peace or gives a crap about how
many people are dying, including his own soldiers. That's not
on his mind anyway. So if it's a very preliminary
feeling out where is he meeting, that's a little different
than what I was picturing where if he was going
in there thinking he was going to make a deal
(02:37):
that day and coming out and lecturing Zelensky about it,
you know. And it's the whole norm breaking thing you've
been talking about for a while. The traditional way of
doing diplomacy is all kinds of surrogates have these preliminary
meetings for months or years before the heavyweights sit down together.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
But and I've heard a couple of the old hands
of foreign policies say, this is disgusting to flatter Putin
with a face to face meeting on US terror.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was going to ask you about it, amizes him.
I was going to ask you about that. How do
you feel about that? The when it was just I
didn't think. I'd never pictured it being in the United States,
when they were going to meet in the UAE or
wherever they were talking about. I thought you got to
meet with him at some point, I think, But on
US soil, it' trd to guy call a guy a
(03:33):
world norm breaking, war criminal, pariah and then allow him
to land in the United States.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Yeah, my answer you will find both wishy and washy.
I don't like it at all, and I think that
sort of thing is probably overrated as events, you know, play.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Out, I think it's probably overrated too, except for the
way he can sell it back home or to people
that are not quite paying attention. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah, it's so much easier if you a criticism of
Trump getting together with Kim Jong un, for instance, and
you know, giving him the legitimacy blaba back a couple
of years in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's like it had no effect. It had no positive effect,
But I don't think it had any negative effect either. Zero. Yeah,
I'd rather it wasn't on us soil.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I just.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't like that. But unless we're going to snatch
him up, unless we're gonna throw him in a carriage.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Or throw him out an open window, as an emailer
suggested earlier, why why.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wouldn't we do that? Tell me why we wouldn't arrest
the war criminal in Alaska?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
We would never be trusted in diplomacy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Again, it was Putin's idea to come to Alaska. Night
of the idea.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
By the way, I'm just I'm trying to come up
with some good counter argument is.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Putin's idea the way Trump tells it, to meet and
come to Alaska. Oh, you want to come to the
United States? Okay, yeah, sure, I'll see it Friday. And
then yeah, you know, to tell Pam BONDI have the
FBI there. Yeah, and or get get the brig ready
on the Air Force base. Or let's play this out
for Jolly's What would happen if Donald Trump walks out
(05:25):
and says you're under arrest, and they put him in
cuffs and take him to a car and fly him
to DC. We talk about a trial. What would happen?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Eighty five percent of the nations on Earth would shut
down their embassies, you think, because it's a violation of
diplomatic community. Yes, several of them would reopen their embassies
before too much time passed, giving a little wink to
the Trumpster. That would be considered completely outrageous. It well,
(05:59):
it would be and and and unacceptable and insane in
diplomatic circles.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I don't know, if I don't know, I don't
know if I agree with that. It'd be interesting to
see how it play out. I was thinking about how
it would play out back in Russia. It's quite possible
that back in Russia the people right beneath him would say, awesome,
we can freaking get out of Ukraine. Let's end this now.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, I wonder, but I'm just afraid you might see
like a drove of this sort of thing happening where
even if you met on neutral territory.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Where the Germans and arrest jd Vancey was there yesterday.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Well, yeah, exactly, yes, snatch him up and then throw
him in a cell and say, yeah, we'll hold a
hearing in a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We accuse you of being an Appalachian.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah, I'm just a boy. Again, I am in fevor
of the idea. But it would be a nine point
nine earthquake.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Diplomatically, Well, what what's the point of being calling people
a war criminal if you can't arrest them? Does that
term even mean? If if you if a war criminal
can show up in the United States and you don't
arrest them, well, we you know, we like to pretend
international law is a thing. It's not.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's silly, it's an exercise. I don't this is a
I'm in a difficult position here. I would love to
see Putin arrested. Would that make World War three more
likely or less likely?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I feel I could make it less likely.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I can't believe Putin has agreed to meet on US soil.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I know Alaska is beautiful, it is. It's a good point.
I'm gonna take an Alaska Cruz soon with my sweet wife.
That is an excellent point, Michael. That's good analysis, Michael.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
They got bears there and seals and like bald eagles
and stuff mountains allegedly, so uh yeah, I don't. This
is a very odd developmental fort.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do we know?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Is it? Nail down? I'm a big Seward's folly guy.
I think the Alaska purchase was a mistake.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
On a In a related story, Wall Street Journal with
some really good coverage of a big exercise being done
by the US with several of our allies, a big
military exercise, except this time it includes hundreds of drones
(08:25):
straight off the battlefields of Ukraine. They talk about this
Army starge you who became an electronic warfare specialist and
his main focus for years was detecting remote control roadside
explosives IEDs and that sort of thing. That was four
years ago a whole generation back on the battlefield, and
now it's all about drone and counter drone technology.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
When are we going to finally get a more descriptive
term or different terms that differentiate between things, because drones
is practically like saying things. I mean, it's so vague, right.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
A quad copter the size of a turkey platter, or
a predator drone that's like an unmanned jet fighter with missiles, right, yeah, yeah,
But this is this is so interesting because we have
wondered aloud what we are doing on this front and
hoping we're keeping up. This is the fourth in a
series of learn by Doing events, and the US British
(09:22):
maneuvers brought together top brass tech developers and soldiers while
troops staged engagements under drenching rain across the training grounds,
woods and fields. Officers and officials filled the base auditorium
to observe lessons from drone combat in Ukraine. Hear about
the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to apply
those lessons outside. Soldiers and technicians exhibited some of the
(09:44):
gear being tested bah bah, and they go into some
of the specific technologies, but the engagement scenario involves several
dozen troops attacking roughly one hundred and eighty defenders in
traditional land battles, augmented with hun of drones employed in
the most realistic ways possible short of lethality, say the organizers.
(10:05):
To crank up the intensity they packed into the four
day exercise, a relentless series of attacks, engagements, and threats
modeled on fighting in Ukraine and other conflicts. Said this
sergeant who they quote, it's terrifying watching the drones counter
each other.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Ill bet wow, Yeah, I'm glad to hear.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Though it is the brass, but the guys on the
ground and the tech companies all observing this and then
very you know, actively enthusiastically trading notes and trying to
come to conclusions and understand what works best and what doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So the plan. So Putin has put forward a plan
for Friday, and he'll probably reiterate it to Trump face
to face. I want to keep all the land I grabbed.
I want assurances that Ukraine never becomes a member of NATO.
And they need to like demilitarized, do away with their military.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, to the point of just having local police practically no.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Military, Yeah, which is insane. Europe, and Zelensky are saying,
and Lindsey Graham, by the way, are saying, no, probably
like one hundred thousand European troops from a variety of
countries and a fast tracked SONATO membership for Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And a militarization slash securing of the border that's practically
got no limits.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know that I've seen a gap that wide
be bridged in negotiations.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
H No, I see so little overlap here. I can't
imagine how they get at home. And I'm no full
I'm aware that both sides come to the bargaining table
with maximalist demands, But like I said, I'm just not
even seen overlad.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
This is walking onto a car lot looking at a
Mercedes Benz and say I want you to give me
one hundred dollars and the car. Right, where do you
start from? That's not a starting position, right, yeah? And
the other person says, I want a million dollars for
the car and to sleep with your wife, And that's
(12:28):
where you're starting on your negotiations, right, Good luck there? Yeah,
no kidding. A arresting putin in Alaska. Those of you
smarter than me, and that would be practically all of you.
Text why why why we shouldn't do that? Text line
four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
The Alaska summit, which will be Putin's first trip to
the United States in nearly a decade and his first
meeting with an American president in more than four years,
allows Putin to avoid the new sanctions on.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
So, yeah, he hasn't gone abroad and what a decade
is said or something?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Huh way that again.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Yeah, the Alaska summit, which will be Putin's first trip
to the United States in nearly a decade and his
first meeting with an American president in more than four years,
allows Putin to avoid.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Ten years ago and met with Obama then, obviously, but
Obama missed the chance to snatch him. Uh remember when
Obama gave him the stern look and said, don't mess
with our elections. That was kind of in the category
of don't like you're gonna convince a dude like Putin.
Oh geez, sorry, I'll stop. So I threw out the
(13:47):
idea of Putin's a war criminal. He's going to be
on US soil in Alaska Friday meeting with Trump. Why
don't we arrest him explain to me why we shouldn't,
and we had a little conversation about it. Got some
pretty interesting responses. I can't wait to talk more about this. Yes, okay,
I don't want to steal the email of Thunder. I
mean one one obvious thing leaps to mind, but go ahead. Well,
(14:11):
let's let the good folks speak first. One really interesting point.
If if rest was tried, putin security detail would kill
everyone with one one hundred yards. So I got to
ask somebody I know within the secret service world, how
does that whole thing work? Do we let Putin's badass
rogue criminals themselves security people near our president with weapons,
(14:36):
or does everybody disarm like it's you know, the irp's
going to the okay corral? Or well, how does the
whole thing work? Sort of mob summit? Right? Yeah, great question?
This one. Thousands of dirty hippies would be marching around
the world, turning on Ukraine and saying they had it
coming while chanting one, two three, we will set Putin free.
That probably would have you loved a chant we got
(15:02):
this text, Get on somebody intelligence, someone you could have
a good conversation with, not stupid small talk. I make
my house payment with stupid small talk. But thank you
for the suggest friend. The reason is that Putin will
go to Alaska is see, they say I'm a war criminal,
they do nothing. They are afraid. This person says it
(15:24):
does give him legitimacy in the eyes of there is
something to that interesting the UN, You idiot. How many
world leaders come to the UN that we would want
to arrest? Would they ever come again? And probably be
about a third of the UN that would never show
up in New York again?
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Goold, yeah, good, Then shut it down, turn it into
affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
This is probably true. If we snatch a foreign leader,
that means no American president can travel ever again for
fear of reciprocal treatment. There's no upside to such a move.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Got an email saying you aren't touching on the one thing.
Do you really arrest the president of a nuclear power? Well,
and I was gonna say, we need to before we
do this. Empty out are our embassy in Russia certainly,
and our consulates and embassies in virtually every friend of
Russia's country, because every single one of our diplomats would
(16:17):
be in a prison camp and we would have to
bargain them loose Okay, so I give them backled of
Vladimir Vladimirvitchky.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm glad somebody thought this through. So step one, we
get all our diplomats out of all the embassies in
countries that would do that, and we're getting fumigated for insects.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah, that's why we're going back to the States just
for a little bit, though, we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah. Putin asks if on Thursday, while we're getting all
our diplomats out of the Moscow embassy, we say no
reason or something like that. Okay, so you're telling me
there's a downside, but maybe there's more upside. I actually
am interested in that security situation. How are Secret Service
sworn to protect the president and Putin's thug ever get
(17:01):
close to each other when Trump goes to see sheshin pain?
What's that all about? Of course they need our economy.
But great question. There's the summit gets closer on Friday.
There's gonna be a lot of interesting questions. Armstrong and Getty,
you were going to be the presidential candidate? Did your
balloon still up there?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I listen, life is good, man. I mean, you know,
I'm not an answer. I leave the door open. I
can't imagine myself doing it, but I haven't ruled it
out because I'm disgusted with what I'm seeing on the.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Left and there's nobody. There is nobody.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I look at the National Voice for the Democratic Party.
It is non existent. As far as I'm concerned. A
damn construction worker could win the Democratic nomination right now,
as bad as it is.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
But a Democratic Party, they better get they better get their.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Act together because I'm going to say that other and
I excuse my language, but they are in for an
ass kicking if they don't get their act together. The
part is in disirect no leadership.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, that is really interesting. That's Stephen A. Smith, the
most listened to sports analyst in America. Uh, is somebody
gonna come along that's got the self confidence of a
Donald Trump or maybe a Barack Obama who just doesn't
care what other people in the party say. No, No,
(18:24):
Stephen A. Smith, Yeah maybe, but that's well that's what
Stephen A. Smith thinks. Yeah, but there is you know,
there's got to be somebody out there who just is
well got the self confidence to just ignore those people
because they know they're right. I know that eighty five
percent of the party, maybe ninety five percent of the
party is with me, and I'm gonna say this stuff
(18:47):
anyway like Trump did. Yeah. I remember when when Trump
first ran, all of the Republican heavyweights that are all
on the cable show saying, look, this is one thing
I can tell you, Trump is not going to be
the nominee, and he had them flipped within six months,
right right.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
It's interesting though, as you know, as a question Tom
all Over, it's like the opposite of triangulating, because that's
what everybody's trying to do right now. You're Chuck Schumer
and your Elizabeth's Warren.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Hey, yeah, are you there.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
They're trying to take some of the energy from the
socialist wing and say, oh, we're totally with that stuff
and plus we've got legitimacy and blah blah blah. But
you're you're suggesting the opposite. Well, I feel like Elizabeth
because they're because they're not. I feel like people like
Elizabeth Warren and AOC. I mean Elizabeth Warren. She uses
every part of the buffalo sure, but I think she
(19:41):
plays just to the the woke people. But there are
the people, Gavin, who are trying to have it both ways,
and ain's never gonna work right right, Well, And I'm
thinking about various successful triangulations through American political history, and
the difference is that, like when Bill kla triangulated toward
(20:02):
being tougher on crime or welfare reform, it's because the
conservatives were right.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, they were clearly right.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't say that just because I'm conservative.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
But if a like you know, reasonable Democrat is gonna
triangulate toward communists, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Just say, yeah, well, try collective farms. Let's do it.
I don't know if. I don't know if any of
those comparisons work, because as recently as ninety two, you know,
you played toward the middle eighty five percent of the country,
you didn't. Neither party was answering to their furthest wings.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
So earlier today we discussed the fact that there were
practically no purple states anymore. North Carolina actually is and
I hit the Lanhi Chen with this. It's my favorite
domestic headline of the day. North Carolina DMV hits all
of its DEI targets.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
This is all of its road safety goals that could
be schools everywhere meets all of the DEI targets, meets
none of the proficiency targets.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
The report from the NC dot DOT reveals that the
state's Department of Motor Vehicles reached its DEI target for
twenty twenty four, while falling short on several other key
performance metrics, including road safety, infrastructure maintenance, and fiscal management.
(21:26):
Let's see the report comes from Governor Roy Cooper, etcetera. Anyway,
I think that's funny, a mixed performance at best. And then,
speaking of domestic policy, this New York City, speaking of
mister mom Donnie to spend sixty five million dollars on
a homeless shelter for transgender people. Aces Place homeless shelter
(21:54):
in Long Island open out on Tuesday and will cost
taxpayers sixty five million dollars over the next five years.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
According to The Daily Mail, first of all, homeless shelters
are a magnet or do nothing everywhere in the United States.
I mean, I don't know if I've seen a single
homeless program that hasn't resulted in more homeless, But how
many transgender homeless are there anywhere? Officials said.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
The facilities, the only of its kind in the entire nation,
will offer up to one hundred and fifty beds to
transgender New Yorkers in up to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And fifty for how much money?
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Sixty five million dollars years, about twelve million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You mean I could house one hundred people for the
mere cost of sixty five million dollars? Where do I sign?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Or more specifically, eighty six thousand, seven hundred dollars per
bed annually through the year twenty thirty.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And that's the minimum. That's if they fill one hundred
and fifty beds. Why don't we just give them a
fifty thousand dollars a year check and if you can't
live on this, that's your fault. That'd be cheaper for
the taxpayer.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Well yeah, oh yeah, Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Park,
who's got a suspiciously prominent jaw? Anyway, what is a
suspiciously prominent jaw? What do you suspect? What is the suspicion?
We don't have time, uh, Ace's Place says, She says.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Quote Ace's Place.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Will offer transgender New Yorkers a safe place to heal
and stabilize in trauma informed settings. Well, you gotta have
trauma informed settings you can't have like trauma misinformed draw
informed settings with the supportive staff who are deeply invested
in their growth and well being.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I've got a boy I shouldn't even I wouldn't be
fair to even be slightly not vague. Someone I know
got out of a very prestigious university and their first
big job was helping trans drug addicted homeless people. There
(24:08):
you go. It's a terrible need. How many people in
the country are in that situation?
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Miss Park, the aforementioned public official with a suspicious jaw m,
told the UH the paper that is, the city places
people in shelters based on gender identity. New York City
reserves thirty pads across the city for transgender and gender
non conforming people.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
These individuals are allowed to stay in traditional shelters. Blah
blah blah. God dang it. If I'm a dude and
I end up in a facility, I'm not a liar
or want to play that game, but I think I'd
say I was a chick. It's got to be way
better over there at the chick facility than over here
at the scary dude facility. I'm guessing, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Ms.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Coleman said, it's almost impossible to thrive in an environment
quote where you're asking for help and they're constantly misgendering you.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh my god, that's your problem. So you're homeless, you're
probably a drug addict, but your big problem is people
misgendering you.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
People call you sir when you identify as a gal,
and also constantly telling you you're not who you say
you are.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I would put that on the back burner until I
became not a drug addict and maybe had some shelter.
Uh yeah, no kidding, no kidding. Yeah, why don't you
go swim for penn? There? Sir? It's madness, absolute gender
bending madness. Okay, so now you're done. Now I need
(25:34):
to ask what is a suspiciously large draw jaw? What
are you suspecting like implant steroids? Dude? Oh okay, I
can't believe I didn't track with you. Okay, got you either,
can anybody else? Okay? I got you trying to be subtle.
I didn't want to. I'm not. I'm not trying to
misgender this time.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I don't have the phobia you have, so I don't
think that way. You're transphobic. I'm really not. Okay, so yeah,
I can't believe I missed that. Did I tell you
about North Carolina's DMV? Yeah you did, Yeah, I did. Excellent.
Is it is shocking what we put up with in
(26:20):
various places around the country at the local, county, state,
federal level, of our money being spent on zero results
or negative results, like things are worse than if we
hadn't spent money. It's amazing how often we put up
with that. It shows you how rich we are. I think, well, yeah,
(26:40):
actually that's a good point. Well, not only that, but
the complete lack of accountability, which the powers that be
have noticed a long time ago.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Therefore they can hand out money to their cronies. And
then when somebody people like us, say but that didn't work,
they're like, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
The only ones saying that. Nobody's paying attention.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Shut up, bullet train junkie industrial complex.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You know there a doesn't exists. Your school's top to bottom, right, Yeah, okay,
we will finish strong next, are strong and a tough
one here. But Garcia coming in, did he stay with it?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
He did.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
A whole little juggling. How did he keep that from it?
Maybe they're going to take another look at it. We'll see.
I know we are so that they didn't explain what
happened there, but it is a bare handed catch and
a candidate for catch of the Year in Major League Baseball,
(27:42):
which is very, very exciting. That's the triumphs of man
in sports. Then sometimes he goes the other direction.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
A NASCAR driver is recovering from a freak accident. Connor
Village fell while getting out of his car to celebrate
his win yesterday, and Watkins Glen, New York and broke
a collarbone. Posted to social media that he's quote getting
better already.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So he won the race but then managed to break
his collar bone. Here's the actual play by play seven
career wins. Let's go down to mobile on Victory Lane.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Dyning.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
On the cage. What happened there, Katie, I haven't watched it.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
So he was he was climbing out of his driver's
side window and he went to put his foot up
on top of his car so he could pop the champagne,
and his foot slipped and his actual foot got hooked
inside the car and he went straight down his collarbone.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh yeah, looked bad. Oh so he's probably young and
obviously in good shape and fell and broke his car.
You glad I haven't done that. Of course, I don't
ever try to crawl on top of my car. After
the draft, Champagne, he.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Did an interview and he said, well, you know, the collarbone,
that's probably the best injury.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I could get terms of driving.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Looking on the upside, and we're just mortified and embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But did he did he have his helmet on at
the time.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Oh, I mean he's lucky he didn't crack his head open. Then, yeah,
that been the worst case scenario. Oh, that would boof lucky. Yeah,
it was ugly. There were some gruesome injuries in the
NFL yesterday, which is rough for preseason is really nothing.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Oh the guys who you know, they're living their dream
finally and and their nego sideways in a exhibition game
of preseason game. Oh, it's just it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It's heartbreaking. Or if your stars go out for one
series and get hurt, that's also horrible too.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well they try to avoid that like crazy,
but yeah, it happens. So I bring this up for
two reasons. Number one, I want to close the tab. No,
I'm sorry. Number one, I wanted to talk about it.
Number two, I want to close the tab. Finally, Disney
reached a settlement with actress Gina Carano over getting canned
from The Mandalorian over quote unquote controvert rusial social media
(30:01):
posts in a world where every lefty in Hollywood from
the key grip to the start of the producer, constantly
posts about progressive politics and the most strident of terms.
Gina Carano, Katie, you have some of the things she tweeted,
some of the outrageous, horrific, hateful things she tweeted.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yes, brace yourselves.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
You're more likely to be assaulted for being a Trump
supporter than for your race in America today, probably true,
followed by America does not have a systematic racism problem.
America has a violent leftist extremism problem.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But either way, those are not what Joe is talking about.
Outside the norm of of where people talk about politics
in Hollywood, I mean they say outrageous things all the time.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well, and she had the one where she was talking
about do you have the Nazi adjacent stuff, Katie, you
don't need it. She was making the point that people
being hounded and outed and like run out of their
jobs for political beliefs, for being a conservative was like,
you know, a Nazi situation, And of course that gave
(31:14):
the left and opening.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
They don't care about the Jews anymore, but back in the.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Day they could pretend that, oh my god, she referenced
the Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
She made light of a Holocaust. She compared her situation
obliquely to that of the news, and we can cancel her.
So they cancel her. So she said that was wildly inappropriate,
and yes, so she sued Disney then sponsored by Elon Musk.
(31:42):
Oh wow, didn't know that she funded her lawsuit. That's helpful.
And then she got a big old settlement from Disney.
How big do we know?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Uh no, it's it's your typical. The terms are not disclosed.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I hope it's a lot, though, because she may have
missed out on many tens of millions of dollars, because
that could have launched her to a female when she
was on the Mandalorian and we were all into the
Mandalorian lots of us during COVID. That could have launched
her into a Schwarzenegger style action movie female thing that
(32:16):
shent on for ten years and made her hundreds of
millions of dollars, but she got ruined right at the beginning.
Thank you, Arnold.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Here's the actual back and forth, because I think the
actual verbiage is handy to hear.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
She tweeted.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Most people today don't realize that to get to the
point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews,
the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply
for being Jews. How is that any different from hating
someone for their political views? And Disney said in a
court filing that Karana was comparing criticisms of political conservatives
(32:49):
to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well and again, like you said, musicians and movie stars
say outrageous crap up like that all the time and
pay no penalty because it's on the left.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Side, exactly, Jack GISs tom stop, Jack and Joe liv
go and if they don't give Candale be back tomorrow boy.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
But she pulled Mickey's pants down and gave him what
four with the help of Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well done, Gina. Wow, here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty. Let's get a final thought from everybody on
the crew.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
To wrap things up for the day. There he is
our technical director, Michael Angelo. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
All right?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I want you to picture this scenario we got putin
in Alaska with Trump going through a gift shop and
Anchorage picking up a T shirt, coffee cup, and bumper sticker,
while Zelenski sits in the car pouting.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Wow, not reverent. Katie Greener esteemed a Newswoman.
Speaker 10 (33:48):
As a final thought, Katie thinking about how AOL cut
off the dial up and I remember that I reprogrammed
mine somehow, so it was some British guy that would go,
you've got.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Post hello Jack. A final thought for us, I need
a high school teacher, this high school science teacher to
explain to me how my swimming pool can sit out
in the one hundred and three degree heat every day
and still be so freaking cold. Somebody explain that to me.
How does that work?
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So my final thought, and this is kind of dark.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
I don't mean it to be, but I've heard people
like trying to cover up domestic violence, say oh yeah,
I hit my head on a cabinet door or something
like that. Well, I actually dropped something in our laundry room.
And I was looking around for it. I finally found
it and stood up forgetting that a cabinet door was open.
I split my head open.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh I hate it was. There was a fair amount
of blood. Oh my god, rocks your world. Oh yeah,
that's a bad feeling. My counterpunched her ar. I'm strung
getting wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. So many people,
thanks so a little time. Go to armstrong and getdy
dot com. A lot of great clicks there. Yeah, that's
the heart of it. When you hit your head, you
immediately pop up and want somebody to have to pay
(34:56):
for it. See tomorrow, God bless America.
Speaker 8 (34:59):
Such way, take your turn tomorrow left and alone, left
some more.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
But we promise they won't make you cry, because we'll
be feeling good, doing good with squats giving us a
natural high. You are strong and Getty show
Speaker 6 (35:23):
The Jack and Joe return tomorrow morning.
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty arm Strong
and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
But on Friday, it is important to see how serious
Puttin is and the only one who can do that
is President than Trump. So it's really crucial that the
meeting takes place. It will not be the final sale
on this. There will not be the final deal on this.
Of course Ukraine got to be involved in Europe, but
it is important to start the next phase of this
(00:43):
process putting pressure on the Russians exactly as President and
Trump has been doing over the last six months.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know, that's pretty interesting in light of what Trump
just said a few minutes ago. That's the NATO General Secretary,
and I saw him on whatever show he was on yesterday,
was on a couple of them saying that this is
a process only Trump can figure out where Putin is.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well, let's hear what Trump said a few minutes ago,
and it fits in with that.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
This is really a feel out beating a little bit,
and President Putin invited me to get involved. He wants
to get involved. I think I believe he wants to get.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It over with.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I've said that a few times that.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I've been disappointed because I have like a great call
with him, and then missiles would be lobbed in Takiev
for some other place, and you'd have sixty people laying
on a road dying.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I said, that's cold. That's cold man. That doesn't sound
like a guy that's going to roll over. No, So
so now it makes more sense to me what this is.
I mean, this is the only thing I debated. There
was the idea that Putin lost. I think Putin lounst
then this time. Yeah, no, I Trump has said that
a couple of times in recent days. I think he
(01:55):
wants peace. No, he does not, absolutely doesn't. So that's troubling.
It's possible. It's possible Trump's just doing the sales guy
thing where you try to convince somebody or shame them
into doing what you want. I hope that's what it is,
or just not show your cards that you know what
they're up to. I hope it's not that he actually
(02:17):
believes Putin wants peace or gives a crap about how
many people are dying, including his own soldiers. That's not
on his mind anyway. So if it's a very preliminary
feeling out where is he meeting, that's a little different
than what I was picturing where if he was going
in there thinking he was going to make a deal
(02:37):
that day and coming out and lecturing Zelensky about it,
you know. And it's the whole norm breaking thing you've
been talking about for a while. The traditional way of
doing diplomacy is all kinds of surrogates have these preliminary
meetings for months or years before the heavyweights sit down together.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
But and I've heard a couple of the old hands
of foreign policies say, this is disgusting to flatter Putin
with a face to face meeting on US terror.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was going to ask you about it, amizes him.
I was going to ask you about that. How do
you feel about that? The when it was just I
didn't think. I'd never pictured it being in the United States,
when they were going to meet in the UAE or
wherever they were talking about. I thought you got to
meet with him at some point, I think, But on
US soil, it' trd to guy call a guy a
(03:33):
world norm breaking, war criminal, pariah and then allow him
to land in the United States.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Yeah, my answer you will find both wishy and washy.
I don't like it at all, and I think that
sort of thing is probably overrated as events, you know, play.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Out, I think it's probably overrated too, except for the
way he can sell it back home or to people
that are not quite paying attention. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah, it's so much easier if you a criticism of
Trump getting together with Kim Jong un, for instance, and
you know, giving him the legitimacy blaba back a couple
of years in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's like it had no effect. It had no positive effect,
But I don't think it had any negative effect either. Zero. Yeah,
I'd rather it wasn't on us soil.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I just.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't like that. But unless we're going to snatch
him up, unless we're gonna throw him in a carriage.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Or throw him out an open window, as an emailer
suggested earlier, why why.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wouldn't we do that? Tell me why we wouldn't arrest
the war criminal in Alaska?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
We would never be trusted in diplomacy.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Again, it was Putin's idea to come to Alaska. Night
of the idea.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
By the way, I'm just I'm trying to come up
with some good counter argument is.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Putin's idea the way Trump tells it, to meet and
come to Alaska. Oh, you want to come to the
United States? Okay, yeah, sure, I'll see it Friday. And
then yeah, you know, to tell Pam BONDI have the
FBI there. Yeah, and or get get the brig ready
on the Air Force base. Or let's play this out
for Jolly's What would happen if Donald Trump walks out
(05:25):
and says you're under arrest, and they put him in
cuffs and take him to a car and fly him
to DC. We talk about a trial. What would happen?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Eighty five percent of the nations on Earth would shut
down their embassies, you think, because it's a violation of
diplomatic community. Yes, several of them would reopen their embassies
before too much time passed, giving a little wink to
the Trumpster. That would be considered completely outrageous. It well,
(05:59):
it would be and and and unacceptable and insane in
diplomatic circles.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, I don't know, if I don't know, I don't
know if I agree with that. It'd be interesting to
see how it play out. I was thinking about how
it would play out back in Russia. It's quite possible
that back in Russia the people right beneath him would say, awesome,
we can freaking get out of Ukraine. Let's end this now.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah, I wonder, but I'm just afraid you might see
like a drove of this sort of thing happening where
even if you met on neutral territory.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Where the Germans and arrest jd Vancey was there yesterday.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Well, yeah, exactly, yes, snatch him up and then throw
him in a cell and say, yeah, we'll hold a
hearing in a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We accuse you of being an Appalachian.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Yeah, I'm just a boy. Again, I am in fevor
of the idea. But it would be a nine point
nine earthquake.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Diplomatically, Well, what what's the point of being calling people
a war criminal if you can't arrest them? Does that
term even mean? If if you if a war criminal
can show up in the United States and you don't
arrest them, well, we you know, we like to pretend
international law is a thing. It's not.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's silly, it's an exercise. I don't this is a
I'm in a difficult position here. I would love to
see Putin arrested. Would that make World War three more
likely or less likely?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I feel I could make it less likely.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I can't believe Putin has agreed to meet on US soil.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I know Alaska is beautiful, it is. It's a good point.
I'm gonna take an Alaska Cruz soon with my sweet wife.
That is an excellent point, Michael. That's good analysis, Michael.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
They got bears there and seals and like bald eagles
and stuff mountains allegedly, so uh yeah, I don't. This
is a very odd developmental fort.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do we know?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Is it? Nail down? I'm a big Seward's folly guy.
I think the Alaska purchase was a mistake.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
On a In a related story, Wall Street Journal with
some really good coverage of a big exercise being done
by the US with several of our allies, a big
military exercise, except this time it includes hundreds of drones
(08:25):
straight off the battlefields of Ukraine. They talk about this
Army starge you who became an electronic warfare specialist and
his main focus for years was detecting remote control roadside
explosives IEDs and that sort of thing. That was four
years ago a whole generation back on the battlefield, and
now it's all about drone and counter drone technology.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
When are we going to finally get a more descriptive
term or different terms that differentiate between things, because drones
is practically like saying things. I mean, it's so vague, right.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
A quad copter the size of a turkey platter, or
a predator drone that's like an unmanned jet fighter with missiles, right, yeah, yeah,
But this is this is so interesting because we have
wondered aloud what we are doing on this front and
hoping we're keeping up. This is the fourth in a
series of learn by Doing events, and the US British
(09:22):
maneuvers brought together top brass tech developers and soldiers while
troops staged engagements under drenching rain across the training grounds,
woods and fields. Officers and officials filled the base auditorium
to observe lessons from drone combat in Ukraine. Hear about
the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to apply
those lessons outside. Soldiers and technicians exhibited some of the
(09:44):
gear being tested bah bah, and they go into some
of the specific technologies, but the engagement scenario involves several
dozen troops attacking roughly one hundred and eighty defenders in
traditional land battles, augmented with hun of drones employed in
the most realistic ways possible short of lethality, say the organizers.
(10:05):
To crank up the intensity they packed into the four
day exercise, a relentless series of attacks, engagements, and threats
modeled on fighting in Ukraine and other conflicts. Said this
sergeant who they quote, it's terrifying watching the drones counter
each other.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Ill bet wow, Yeah, I'm glad to hear.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Though it is the brass, but the guys on the
ground and the tech companies all observing this and then
very you know, actively enthusiastically trading notes and trying to
come to conclusions and understand what works best and what doesn't.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So the plan. So Putin has put forward a plan
for Friday, and he'll probably reiterate it to Trump face
to face. I want to keep all the land I grabbed.
I want assurances that Ukraine never becomes a member of NATO.
And they need to like demilitarized, do away with their military.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, to the point of just having local police practically no.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Military, Yeah, which is insane. Europe, and Zelensky are saying,
and Lindsey Graham, by the way, are saying, no, probably
like one hundred thousand European troops from a variety of
countries and a fast tracked SONATO membership for Ukraine.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And a militarization slash securing of the border that's practically
got no limits.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know that I've seen a gap that wide
be bridged in negotiations.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
H No, I see so little overlap here. I can't
imagine how they get at home. And I'm no full
I'm aware that both sides come to the bargaining table
with maximalist demands, But like I said, I'm just not
even seen overlad.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
This is walking onto a car lot looking at a
Mercedes Benz and say I want you to give me
one hundred dollars and the car. Right, where do you
start from? That's not a starting position, right, yeah? And
the other person says, I want a million dollars for
the car and to sleep with your wife, And that's
(12:28):
where you're starting on your negotiations, right, Good luck there? Yeah,
no kidding. A arresting putin in Alaska. Those of you
smarter than me, and that would be practically all of you.
Text why why why we shouldn't do that? Text line
four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
The Alaska summit, which will be Putin's first trip to
the United States in nearly a decade and his first
meeting with an American president in more than four years,
allows Putin to avoid the new sanctions on.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
So, yeah, he hasn't gone abroad and what a decade
is said or something?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Huh way that again.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
Yeah, the Alaska summit, which will be Putin's first trip
to the United States in nearly a decade and his
first meeting with an American president in more than four years,
allows Putin to avoid.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Ten years ago and met with Obama then, obviously, but
Obama missed the chance to snatch him. Uh remember when
Obama gave him the stern look and said, don't mess
with our elections. That was kind of in the category
of don't like you're gonna convince a dude like Putin.
Oh geez, sorry, I'll stop. So I threw out the
(13:47):
idea of Putin's a war criminal. He's going to be
on US soil in Alaska Friday meeting with Trump. Why
don't we arrest him explain to me why we shouldn't,
and we had a little conversation about it. Got some
pretty interesting responses. I can't wait to talk more about this. Yes, okay,
I don't want to steal the email of Thunder. I
mean one one obvious thing leaps to mind, but go ahead. Well,
(14:11):
let's let the good folks speak first. One really interesting point.
If if rest was tried, putin security detail would kill
everyone with one one hundred yards. So I got to
ask somebody I know within the secret service world, how
does that whole thing work? Do we let Putin's badass
rogue criminals themselves security people near our president with weapons,
(14:36):
or does everybody disarm like it's you know, the irp's
going to the okay corral? Or well, how does the
whole thing work? Sort of mob summit? Right? Yeah, great question?
This one. Thousands of dirty hippies would be marching around
the world, turning on Ukraine and saying they had it
coming while chanting one, two three, we will set Putin free.
That probably would have you loved a chant we got
(15:02):
this text, Get on somebody intelligence, someone you could have
a good conversation with, not stupid small talk. I make
my house payment with stupid small talk. But thank you
for the suggest friend. The reason is that Putin will
go to Alaska is see, they say I'm a war criminal,
they do nothing. They are afraid. This person says it
(15:24):
does give him legitimacy in the eyes of there is
something to that interesting the UN, You idiot. How many
world leaders come to the UN that we would want
to arrest? Would they ever come again? And probably be
about a third of the UN that would never show
up in New York again?
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Goold, yeah, good, Then shut it down, turn it into
affordable housing.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
This is probably true. If we snatch a foreign leader,
that means no American president can travel ever again for
fear of reciprocal treatment. There's no upside to such a move.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Got an email saying you aren't touching on the one thing.
Do you really arrest the president of a nuclear power? Well,
and I was gonna say, we need to before we
do this. Empty out are our embassy in Russia certainly,
and our consulates and embassies in virtually every friend of
Russia's country, because every single one of our diplomats would
(16:17):
be in a prison camp and we would have to
bargain them loose Okay, so I give them backled of
Vladimir Vladimirvitchky.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I'm glad somebody thought this through. So step one, we
get all our diplomats out of all the embassies in
countries that would do that, and we're getting fumigated for insects.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah, that's why we're going back to the States just
for a little bit, though, we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah. Putin asks if on Thursday, while we're getting all
our diplomats out of the Moscow embassy, we say no
reason or something like that. Okay, so you're telling me
there's a downside, but maybe there's more upside. I actually
am interested in that security situation. How are Secret Service
sworn to protect the president and Putin's thug ever get
(17:01):
close to each other when Trump goes to see sheshin pain?
What's that all about? Of course they need our economy.
But great question. There's the summit gets closer on Friday.
There's gonna be a lot of interesting questions. Armstrong and Getty,
you were going to be the presidential candidate? Did your
balloon still up there?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I listen, life is good, man. I mean, you know,
I'm not an answer. I leave the door open. I
can't imagine myself doing it, but I haven't ruled it
out because I'm disgusted with what I'm seeing on the.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Left and there's nobody. There is nobody.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I look at the National Voice for the Democratic Party.
It is non existent. As far as I'm concerned. A
damn construction worker could win the Democratic nomination right now,
as bad as it is.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
But a Democratic Party, they better get they better get their.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Act together because I'm going to say that other and
I excuse my language, but they are in for an
ass kicking if they don't get their act together. The
part is in disirect no leadership.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, that is really interesting. That's Stephen A. Smith, the
most listened to sports analyst in America. Uh, is somebody
gonna come along that's got the self confidence of a
Donald Trump or maybe a Barack Obama who just doesn't
care what other people in the party say. No, No,
(18:24):
Stephen A. Smith, Yeah maybe, but that's well that's what
Stephen A. Smith thinks. Yeah, but there is you know,
there's got to be somebody out there who just is
well got the self confidence to just ignore those people
because they know they're right. I know that eighty five
percent of the party, maybe ninety five percent of the
party is with me, and I'm gonna say this stuff
(18:47):
anyway like Trump did. Yeah. I remember when when Trump
first ran, all of the Republican heavyweights that are all
on the cable show saying, look, this is one thing
I can tell you, Trump is not going to be
the nominee, and he had them flipped within six months,
right right.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
It's interesting though, as you know, as a question Tom
all Over, it's like the opposite of triangulating, because that's
what everybody's trying to do right now. You're Chuck Schumer
and your Elizabeth's Warren.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Hey, yeah, are you there.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
They're trying to take some of the energy from the
socialist wing and say, oh, we're totally with that stuff
and plus we've got legitimacy and blah blah blah. But
you're you're suggesting the opposite. Well, I feel like Elizabeth
because they're because they're not. I feel like people like
Elizabeth Warren and AOC. I mean Elizabeth Warren. She uses
every part of the buffalo sure, but I think she
(19:41):
plays just to the the woke people. But there are
the people, Gavin, who are trying to have it both ways,
and ain's never gonna work right right, Well, And I'm
thinking about various successful triangulations through American political history, and
the difference is that, like when Bill kla triangulated toward
(20:02):
being tougher on crime or welfare reform, it's because the
conservatives were right.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I mean, they were clearly right.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't say that just because I'm conservative.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
But if a like you know, reasonable Democrat is gonna
triangulate toward communists, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Just say, yeah, well, try collective farms. Let's do it.
I don't know if. I don't know if any of
those comparisons work, because as recently as ninety two, you know,
you played toward the middle eighty five percent of the country,
you didn't. Neither party was answering to their furthest wings.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
So earlier today we discussed the fact that there were
practically no purple states anymore. North Carolina actually is and
I hit the Lanhi Chen with this. It's my favorite
domestic headline of the day. North Carolina DMV hits all
of its DEI targets.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
This is all of its road safety goals that could
be schools everywhere meets all of the DEI targets, meets
none of the proficiency targets.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
The report from the NC dot DOT reveals that the
state's Department of Motor Vehicles reached its DEI target for
twenty twenty four, while falling short on several other key
performance metrics, including road safety, infrastructure maintenance, and fiscal management.
(21:26):
Let's see the report comes from Governor Roy Cooper, etcetera. Anyway,
I think that's funny, a mixed performance at best. And then,
speaking of domestic policy, this New York City, speaking of
mister mom Donnie to spend sixty five million dollars on
a homeless shelter for transgender people. Aces Place homeless shelter
(21:54):
in Long Island open out on Tuesday and will cost
taxpayers sixty five million dollars over the next five years.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
According to The Daily Mail, first of all, homeless shelters
are a magnet or do nothing everywhere in the United States.
I mean, I don't know if I've seen a single
homeless program that hasn't resulted in more homeless, But how
many transgender homeless are there anywhere? Officials said.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
The facilities, the only of its kind in the entire nation,
will offer up to one hundred and fifty beds to
transgender New Yorkers in up to one hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And fifty for how much money?
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Sixty five million dollars years, about twelve million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
You mean I could house one hundred people for the
mere cost of sixty five million dollars? Where do I sign?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Or more specifically, eighty six thousand, seven hundred dollars per
bed annually through the year twenty thirty.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And that's the minimum. That's if they fill one hundred
and fifty beds. Why don't we just give them a
fifty thousand dollars a year check and if you can't
live on this, that's your fault. That'd be cheaper for
the taxpayer.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Well yeah, oh yeah, Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Park,
who's got a suspiciously prominent jaw? Anyway, what is a
suspiciously prominent jaw? What do you suspect? What is the suspicion?
We don't have time, uh, Ace's Place says, She says.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Quote Ace's Place.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Will offer transgender New Yorkers a safe place to heal
and stabilize in trauma informed settings. Well, you gotta have
trauma informed settings you can't have like trauma misinformed draw
informed settings with the supportive staff who are deeply invested
in their growth and well being.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I've got a boy I shouldn't even I wouldn't be
fair to even be slightly not vague. Someone I know
got out of a very prestigious university and their first
big job was helping trans drug addicted homeless people. There
(24:08):
you go. It's a terrible need. How many people in
the country are in that situation?
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Miss Park, the aforementioned public official with a suspicious jaw m,
told the UH the paper that is, the city places
people in shelters based on gender identity. New York City
reserves thirty pads across the city for transgender and gender
non conforming people.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
These individuals are allowed to stay in traditional shelters. Blah
blah blah. God dang it. If I'm a dude and
I end up in a facility, I'm not a liar
or want to play that game, but I think I'd
say I was a chick. It's got to be way
better over there at the chick facility than over here
at the scary dude facility. I'm guessing, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Ms.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Coleman said, it's almost impossible to thrive in an environment
quote where you're asking for help and they're constantly misgendering you.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh my god, that's your problem. So you're homeless, you're
probably a drug addict, but your big problem is people
misgendering you.
Speaker 6 (25:06):
People call you sir when you identify as a gal,
and also constantly telling you you're not who you say
you are.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I would put that on the back burner until I
became not a drug addict and maybe had some shelter.
Uh yeah, no kidding, no kidding. Yeah, why don't you
go swim for penn? There? Sir? It's madness, absolute gender
bending madness. Okay, so now you're done. Now I need
(25:34):
to ask what is a suspiciously large draw jaw? What
are you suspecting like implant steroids? Dude? Oh okay, I
can't believe I didn't track with you. Okay, got you either,
can anybody else? Okay? I got you trying to be subtle.
I didn't want to. I'm not. I'm not trying to
misgender this time.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I don't have the phobia you have, so I don't
think that way. You're transphobic. I'm really not. Okay, so yeah,
I can't believe I missed that. Did I tell you
about North Carolina's DMV? Yeah you did, Yeah, I did. Excellent.
Is it is shocking what we put up with in
(26:20):
various places around the country at the local, county, state,
federal level, of our money being spent on zero results
or negative results, like things are worse than if we
hadn't spent money. It's amazing how often we put up
with that. It shows you how rich we are. I think, well, yeah,
(26:40):
actually that's a good point. Well, not only that, but
the complete lack of accountability, which the powers that be
have noticed a long time ago.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Therefore they can hand out money to their cronies. And
then when somebody people like us, say but that didn't work,
they're like, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
The only ones saying that. Nobody's paying attention.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Shut up, bullet train junkie industrial complex.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You know there a doesn't exists. Your school's top to bottom, right, Yeah, okay,
we will finish strong next, are strong and a tough
one here. But Garcia coming in, did he stay with it?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
He did.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
A whole little juggling. How did he keep that from it?
Maybe they're going to take another look at it. We'll see.
I know we are so that they didn't explain what
happened there, but it is a bare handed catch and
a candidate for catch of the Year in Major League Baseball,
(27:42):
which is very, very exciting. That's the triumphs of man
in sports. Then sometimes he goes the other direction.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
A NASCAR driver is recovering from a freak accident. Connor
Village fell while getting out of his car to celebrate
his win yesterday, and Watkins Glen, New York and broke
a collarbone. Posted to social media that he's quote getting
better already.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So he won the race but then managed to break
his collar bone. Here's the actual play by play seven
career wins. Let's go down to mobile on Victory Lane.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Dyning.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
On the cage. What happened there, Katie, I haven't watched it.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
So he was he was climbing out of his driver's
side window and he went to put his foot up
on top of his car so he could pop the champagne,
and his foot slipped and his actual foot got hooked
inside the car and he went straight down his collarbone.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh yeah, looked bad. Oh so he's probably young and
obviously in good shape and fell and broke his car.
You glad I haven't done that. Of course, I don't
ever try to crawl on top of my car. After
the draft, Champagne, he.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Did an interview and he said, well, you know, the collarbone,
that's probably the best injury.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I could get terms of driving.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Looking on the upside, and we're just mortified and embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
But did he did he have his helmet on at
the time.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Oh, I mean he's lucky he didn't crack his head open. Then, yeah,
that been the worst case scenario. Oh, that would boof lucky. Yeah,
it was ugly. There were some gruesome injuries in the
NFL yesterday, which is rough for preseason is really nothing.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Oh the guys who you know, they're living their dream
finally and and their nego sideways in a exhibition game
of preseason game. Oh, it's just it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It's heartbreaking. Or if your stars go out for one
series and get hurt, that's also horrible too.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well they try to avoid that like crazy,
but yeah, it happens. So I bring this up for
two reasons. Number one, I want to close the tab. No,
I'm sorry. Number one, I wanted to talk about it.
Number two, I want to close the tab. Finally, Disney
reached a settlement with actress Gina Carano over getting canned
from The Mandalorian over quote unquote controvert rusial social media
(30:01):
posts in a world where every lefty in Hollywood from
the key grip to the start of the producer, constantly
posts about progressive politics and the most strident of terms.
Gina Carano, Katie, you have some of the things she tweeted,
some of the outrageous, horrific, hateful things she tweeted.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yes, brace yourselves.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
You're more likely to be assaulted for being a Trump
supporter than for your race in America today, probably true,
followed by America does not have a systematic racism problem.
America has a violent leftist extremism problem.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
But either way, those are not what Joe is talking about.
Outside the norm of of where people talk about politics
in Hollywood, I mean they say outrageous things all the time.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well, and she had the one where she was talking
about do you have the Nazi adjacent stuff, Katie, you
don't need it. She was making the point that people
being hounded and outed and like run out of their
jobs for political beliefs, for being a conservative was like,
you know, a Nazi situation, And of course that gave
(31:14):
the left and opening.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
They don't care about the Jews anymore, but back in the.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Day they could pretend that, oh my god, she referenced
the Holocaust.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
She made light of a Holocaust. She compared her situation
obliquely to that of the news, and we can cancel her.
So they cancel her. So she said that was wildly inappropriate,
and yes, so she sued Disney then sponsored by Elon Musk.
(31:42):
Oh wow, didn't know that she funded her lawsuit. That's helpful.
And then she got a big old settlement from Disney.
How big do we know?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Uh no, it's it's your typical. The terms are not disclosed.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I hope it's a lot, though, because she may have
missed out on many tens of millions of dollars, because
that could have launched her to a female when she
was on the Mandalorian and we were all into the
Mandalorian lots of us during COVID. That could have launched
her into a Schwarzenegger style action movie female thing that
(32:16):
shent on for ten years and made her hundreds of
millions of dollars, but she got ruined right at the beginning.
Thank you, Arnold.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Here's the actual back and forth, because I think the
actual verbiage is handy to hear.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
She tweeted.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Most people today don't realize that to get to the
point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews,
the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply
for being Jews. How is that any different from hating
someone for their political views? And Disney said in a
court filing that Karana was comparing criticisms of political conservatives
(32:49):
to the annihilation of millions of Jewish people.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well and again, like you said, musicians and movie stars
say outrageous crap up like that all the time and
pay no penalty because it's on the left.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
Side, exactly, Jack GISs tom stop, Jack and Joe liv
go and if they don't give Candale be back tomorrow boy.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
But she pulled Mickey's pants down and gave him what
four with the help of Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well done, Gina. Wow, here's your host for final thoughts,
Joe Getty. Let's get a final thought from everybody on
the crew.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
To wrap things up for the day. There he is
our technical director, Michael Angelo. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
All right?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I want you to picture this scenario we got putin
in Alaska with Trump going through a gift shop and
Anchorage picking up a T shirt, coffee cup, and bumper sticker,
while Zelenski sits in the car pouting.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Wow, not reverent. Katie Greener esteemed a Newswoman.
Speaker 10 (33:48):
As a final thought, Katie thinking about how AOL cut
off the dial up and I remember that I reprogrammed
mine somehow, so it was some British guy that would go,
you've got.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Post hello Jack. A final thought for us, I need
a high school teacher, this high school science teacher to
explain to me how my swimming pool can sit out
in the one hundred and three degree heat every day
and still be so freaking cold. Somebody explain that to me.
How does that work?
Speaker 8 (34:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So my final thought, and this is kind of dark.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
I don't mean it to be, but I've heard people
like trying to cover up domestic violence, say oh yeah,
I hit my head on a cabinet door or something
like that. Well, I actually dropped something in our laundry room.
And I was looking around for it. I finally found
it and stood up forgetting that a cabinet door was open.
I split my head open.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Oh I hate it was. There was a fair amount
of blood. Oh my god, rocks your world. Oh yeah,
that's a bad feeling. My counterpunched her ar. I'm strung
getting wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. So many people,
thanks so a little time. Go to armstrong and getdy
dot com. A lot of great clicks there. Yeah, that's
the heart of it. When you hit your head, you
immediately pop up and want somebody to have to pay
(34:56):
for it. See tomorrow, God bless America.
Speaker 8 (34:59):
Such way, take your turn tomorrow left and alone, left
some more.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
But we promise they won't make you cry, because we'll
be feeling good, doing good with squats giving us a
natural high. You are strong and Getty show
Speaker 6 (35:23):
The Jack and Joe return tomorrow morning.
