Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and Key.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Armstrong and Getty from the studio see season your a
dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of the
Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And today we are under the tutelage of our general manager,
gotta go.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
With Joseph R. Biden Man.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He is bringing it out on the campaign trail, saying
some crazies. You know, I was all ready to go
to talk about the the fact that he gave a
speech in Detroit and the White House had to make
nine corrections to his speech. But that's not really that's
(01:09):
the fun part. The part that makes me so mad
are the policies. And he announced today while you were asleep,
another round of billions of dollars to bail out student
loans with your tax money.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I just don't even know what to.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Do anymore, bail out of the for profit university scam
and put it like that too. So once again, and
I know you've heard this a thousand times, especially from me,
because it drives me so crazy, because I worked all
through college. I went to a cheap college on purpose,
like a lot of people do. And now a whole
(01:49):
bunch of people who decided to do it differently get
their loans waived by the rest of us taxpayers with
our hard earned money that we make every day going
to work. Another seven point seven billion dollars in student loans,
another one hundred and sixty thousand loan borrowers, bringing the
total now, keeping in mind, of course, that the Supreme
Court said the way he was doing it before was
(02:11):
unconstitutional because the president of the United States doesn't have
the power to just cancel student loans well so to
summarily cancel debt wherever he wants to. So far, the
total now is one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars.
And as a lot of people point out, when you
do the math on all kinds of different things, when
you include interest in all these different things, it's a
(02:33):
lot more money than that that the taxpayers are on
the hook for.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Right. I'm glad you brought up the Supreme Court. I
have two points to make.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Number one, the best case is that once again it
becomes clear it's already clear that the president is willing
to do things he knows to be patently unconstitutional to
get the credit among his constituency for trying and then
have the court conveniently prevent him from doing something that's
absolutely terrible custally speaking. Number two, Yeah, you were working
(03:02):
your way through college. I, as you know, work my
way through college in a house of ill repute, and
I saw and did things I will never forget. And
that's how you learned to become an erectionist, which is
a term we all learned yesterday. If you were following
the White House correction, that was part of my work duties.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Joe Biden the other day, when he was given his
speech of the nine corrections that the White House had
to release yesterday to his spoken word was they corrected
the word erectionist, those you who were erectionists on January sixth,
And of course they change it to insurrectionists.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's what he meant. But erectionist is a good word.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I feel like it's something I could apply in my
daily life. It does sound like a job with very
very specific duties.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Very specific. Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anyway, perhaps us that we move on. Good work if
you can get it. I don't even know what to
do about I mean, it's so transparent.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
He stands up in front of those all those black
graduates the other day and says, you have to work
ten times harder just to break even in this country,
because this country is out to kill you and keep
you down. Thanks for that, evil country, an awful country.
I hate this country, said Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And then two days later he bails out a whole
bunch of debt that people willingly took. And those are
the most advantaged people in America statistically, the people that
are going.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
To do the best in life.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
There's all kinds of people you could bail out on
the loans that they signed up for if you really
care about because I've got his quote here about once
again helping the middle class. You want to help the
middle class or the people that are trying to get
you wave car loans for cheap cars or rent or
and I'm not for this, I'm again sure of course,
if you actually want to help, you know, people on
(04:56):
the bottom rungs get ahead. Yeah, that's the if you
would bail out, not the college kids. Are you curing
me giant confiscation of other people's tax wady to cancel.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Credit card debt. Is that next that'd be popular. I don't.
I don't, I don't. I don't even know what we're
doing anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think we have passed into a different part of
our history, a different era of our history.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I'm not sure what to call.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
It at this point, but the cheery, go go times
is not on my list. The other thing, just if
you want to look at it from the politics of it,
I don't think he's getting any bang for my buck.
I don't think he's getting any bang from my buck.
I don't think the young people are now going to
(05:48):
vote for him. I think I think he'd been promising
it that so for so long that they they that
he was going to bail out, you know, pay for
their college loans. I think they've been expecting it for
so long, because I know some people personally who just
had been all along expecting this to happen. They've been
told now for years, I think it was. I think
if it didn't happen, there'd have been a negative reaction,
(06:10):
But the fact that it is happening is going to
be a wash. So I don't even think he's going
to get any extra.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Votes from young people for this. For all the exact
para money.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, you'd like to see somebody prostitute the Constitution and
at least get something out of it now instead of just,
you know, just crap it on it. Yeah, so we'll
run through all the corrections I had to make to
the speech the other day, because it's just it's pretty
dang funny. And I know Trump misspeaks also, and I've
got some examples of that we'll get to a little
bit later. But it's pretty dang funny the fact that
(06:42):
the White House official, whoever they are, now, after he
gives a speech, they have to come out and fix
all of the phrases and words that he said that
oftentimes are the exact opposite of what he was trying
to say. Right, you got, you have your chief of
bad ahead of kef Care, come in and mop everything up.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh hey, this will gratify you.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Jack Jason Riley, Proud black Man, columnist for the Wall
Street Journal. He despised that Morehouse College speech. He could
not have hated it more and boy did he bring
the thunder.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'll share that with you in a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I want to hear that Wall Street Journal has
got a heck of an editorial about it today too.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's it's that is awful.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I mean, like the student loan thing is a policy
thing that I think is unfair and all, but it's
not going to lead to violence. A president standing in
front of Black America and saying this is a racist
country and you can't get ahead because they are keeping
you down will lead to violence, right or at best,
(07:52):
despair and terrible lives for the people concerned. It's it's awful,
it's corrosive. It's just it's evil. You know, we under
use that word in the modern world.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Evil.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's actually evil to do that. You know what other
word we under use, erectionist. It just doesn't come up enough.
I'm going to make sure I say it at least
ten times today. Let's start the show efficially. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this it is how did he
get to be? Wednesday? Made the twenty second the year
twenty twenty four? Life will not being a born twenty four?
Where Armstrong and getting we approve of this program, all right,
then let's begin officially according to CC rules and regulations.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Here comes to show at Mark Unified Reich. That's Shittler's language.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
That's not America's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just when you thought the nation's discourse couldn't get any dumber,
we go with that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So how did this start?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Trump said something or somebody posted something that had Reich
in it. Yeah, it was on the Trump campaign website.
Somebody posted some video that included a quote of some
kind about a unified Reich, which was actually from the
World War One era of Germany, just meaning unified kingdom
or whatever. Reich doesn't have some sort of magical Nazi meaning.
(09:06):
They called it the third Reich, meaning the third Kingdom.
It's not a good idea, but as soon as somebody
saw the word, they took it down. It's this is
just nothing. Now, it's bad politics to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Use that word. That is a that is never gonna
work out to your favor.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Well, what what, mister biased Robert what's his last name?
Secretary of Labor Clinton, Robert Reiche.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's right, not just the word. They had n't bed
that cabinet hildkiten, hild kiten hile Clinton arrest my insane case.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I don't think they should use that word, but to
try to pretend that it portends, uh, you know, Nazism
is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's on the level of pretending to throw a tennis
ball for a dog. I mean, it's that level of
political discourse and the ball in here here, there you go.
I guess my mood is shaped somewhat by the cable
news I took in today and I saw this on
both Fox and MSNBC from different angles. But like MSNBC,
(10:11):
they did a long segment about Trump wanting to be
a dictator. I mean, the guy has stated he wants
to be a dictator, And they played a clip of
FDR talking about dictators and then went to Trump saying
I'll be a dictator on day one, and then had
this long conversation about World War Two and Hitler and
I just like, what are we doing here? Well? And
(10:33):
Biden himself in the speech the other day said Trump
he promised a bloodbath if he loses.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right, Yeah, everybody's playing games with the language and playing
games with people's emotions in a way that's just it's
not gonna work out for us.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's not gonna work out. Yeah, yep, we have.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
A band in any sense of decency in patriotism anyway,
what are you gonna do? Life as you loved it
is over. But what are you gonna do? More on
the way? How's your life? We don't ask you that enough.
(11:24):
How's your life?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Is it good? Are you thriving?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Isn't that the question they ask the polls to Gallip
asks are you thriving or struggling?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah? Yeah? Was there a third one? Or is it
just those two choices? I think it's just those two.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think you're either thriving or struggling. I think if
I got to choose a two for today, I'm struggling.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But we can.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, more on that to come. Let's just dive right
into our freedom loving Quote of the day. This is
from a American novelist, writer, and journalist, Martha Gellhorn. She
lived from nineteen oh eight to nineteen nine.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I don't know her work, but I like this quote.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
People often say with pride, I'm not interested in politics.
They might just as well say I'm not interested in
my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights,
my freedoms, my future, or any future. If we mean
to keep any control over our world and lives, we
must be interested in politics. That is so good and
so true. Yet I was talking to a good friend
of mine the other day, who has just decided to
(12:25):
check out and he can because he's in a situation
where he can, and he seems pretty happy.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I think his argument, or some folks argument, might be,
it's become so mobbed up and corrupt and enormous and
profitable that a little fellow like.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Me just doesn't have any effect. I would say, if
you focus on.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Worry less about changing the globe and more about changing
your town or your county, and you might find yourself
interested again.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, gonna.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm never gonna argue with anybody over that point. But
you know, I would ask him all your kids, you
know again, they got a whole world to come into.
Surely have some interest in what world they're gonna grow
up in.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, Yeah, mail Bag, if.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You'd like to drop us an no, please do Mailbag
at Armstrong Andngetti dot com. Ah, let's see this is
from Frank. He says, Guys, next time Katie's dad, the Judge,
is on the show, please ask the good jurist to
name his favorite courtroom movie.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Ah, it's a great one.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I'm guessing just Night Court the television series could be
because of its realism.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, Katie, if you could extend that question to your pop.
I'm guessing it's, uh, what's it with Marissa Tomay my
cousin Vinny.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Isn't that everybody's favorite courtroom movie? The Two Uts?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Let's see, ah, inflation versus price, Terry with a lovely explanation.
Acceleration is to inflation as velocity is to price. When
you stop accelerating the velocity, your price stays the same.
When eggs accelerate from three bucks a dozen of six
bucks per dozen, and you stop accelerating, the price stays
(14:20):
at six bucks per dozen. I a news story today
again today where they kind of insinuated that prices are
going down.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And right, all right, I don't know who that's for.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's it's shocking and discouraging that ignorance, that profound and
widespread influences our our journalism and hence our politics.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And I'm a guy who says hence.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
See then, doctor Goodtooth says, and trust me, see an
eggs at six bucks a dozen here in the HNT
as hogs Nipple, Tennessee is quite alarming.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Thanks you, thank you, doctor. Oh that's hilarious. I know
it just keeps getting better and better. Oh, that's great.
All right, let's see moving all along. Ah bah bah
bah ah.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This is a note from Travis, and he had a
couple of topics in His main point was he'd spent
three days motorcycling up and down the coast I believe
the West coast.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, eating and drink.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh yeah, and it would stop and eat and drink
along the way, and was really having a festa. He says,
got home late last night, woke up this morning, hopped
on the scale. I have gained ten pounds since Friday morning.
I think we have a record.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And then he.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Says, I feel ploaded.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And I noticed that I needed to loosen my wrist
watch because my wrist got fat.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is that even a thing? Maybe you can ask a sleeve. Boy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, when in a week you've eaten enough you have
to loosen your wrist watch, that's a problem. Wow, dude, Yeah,
maybe get off your bike. He can go jog to
the next diner.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That's awesome. On the topic of grade.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Inflation, got this note from Alnonymous, taught ninth grade science.
I was the only one of four ninth grade science teachers.
I'm sorry I was one of four, but the only
one that ever gave f's. The entire summer school ninth
grade science makeup course was filled with my students. The
administrators pressured me to get the grades up. I spent
hours in meetings with parents and had to keep careful
records for the challenged grades to stick. Eventually, the administrators
(16:29):
were changing my grades. I got tired of the fight
and resigned with a nice settlement from the district. Can't
do the right thing even if you want, because you
emphasize the knowledge they actually get as opposed to the grade. Wow.
Uh yeah, I like this note from Joe Joe the Lady.
P Diddy can't be prosecuted for his beating on video
(16:52):
of his former girlfriend because the statute of limitations has expired.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
This happened in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
If the Trump prosecutors picked up an extra year because COVID,
why can't we apply the same premise to P Diddy
beating down women in public? Man, I understand statute of
limitation laws and why they exist, But when you got
a video like that, I mean, it actually happened. He's
apologizing for it, so he's not even denying it. How
do you get to skate on that? Well, you skate
(17:19):
on that and not paperwork errors. If you're Trump, what
a kangaroo court.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And when I was vice president, things were kind of
bad during the pandemic. And what happened was Rock said.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
To me, go to Detroit and help fix it.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Well, poor Mary, he spend more time with me than
he ever thought he's going to have to God.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So that was a speech that Biden gave in Detroit,
and the White House had to make nine corrections to
Biden's NAACP Detroit speech. Now, from what I understand, common
in white Houses to have to make corrections now and then,
but it's usually like every fifth speech, you'd make one correction,
(18:09):
as opposed to nine corrections in one speech like this.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I mean him.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Saying that as vice president during the pandemic, Barack sent
him to Detroit. Obviously that doesn't make any sense, is
he was not vice president then. But so the White
House correction of that was he meant during the recession,
not during the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Okay, fine, but it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's gonna be hard for all of us to follow
a lot of this campaign if we have this going on,
and to be fair and we'll get into this more later.
Trump yesterday said he was looking into changing the laws
or letting states change the laws around birth control. That
caused a big kerf fluffle. Later he kind of walked
(18:58):
it back. I think I don't know this, but I
think he thought he was talking about abortion. He just
made a mistake. Maybe that's what I think happened. But regardless,
it's gonna be hard to follow these guys. I mean,
I don't know how we're gonna have debates over Paul.
Of course, I don't think any of the policy debates
(19:20):
make any difference. It's just that you either can handle
Trump or you can't. I think that's it. But anyway,
back to the Biden speech, in the nine corrections, m
changes fixed trips of the tongue in addition to having
words just completely wrong, for instance, calling the capital writers
capital rioters erectionists instead of insurrectionists. That's because his teeth
(19:45):
don't work, you know, That's what that's all about. Arm
It's not his teeth and his brain. So you got
the whole He went because of the pandemic, not because
of the pandemic, but because of the recession. He att
point said, folks I'm humbled to receive this organization, which
defines the character. He meant award, not organization. So the
(20:06):
White House puts out these transcripts and they just draw
a line through the ward organization and then put in
parentheses award, and they just have to correct the sentence.
So it makes any sense whatsoever that he was reading
off of a teleprompter. It's not like he was, you know,
ad libbing it or whatever. Right, Yeah, be handy to
have that service in day to day life. He said,
(20:27):
here's the transcript of what mister Giddey actually meant. I
wish I could do that, you know, in a relationships.
Sometimes what I actually meant was this exactly. It was
truly inspurising, he said, over four hundred young black men,
they meant inspiring.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, fine, that's just another flub.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
This is a he said, I protected and expanded the
Affordable Care Act, saving families eight hundred thousand dollars a
year in premiums. Well, that would be a lot to
say per family. He meant eight dollars, eight hundred dollars
would be really well received. I liked this one particularly
(21:08):
because I heard this one somehow without the correction and
didn't understand what it meant. We're cracking down on corporate
landlords who keep rents down. Okay, you don't like landlords
who keep rents down? He met, we're cracking down on
corporate landlords to keep rents down. So they just out
they draw line through who keep rents down and change
(21:29):
it to to keep rents. Now, that's a pretty big difference.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean, you picture the audience sitting there without the
benefit of the corrections. By the end of it, they
had to be pretty mystified. This list is getting long.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, exactly if I'm sitting there in the crowd.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
He said, we're cracking down, and he always does the
yelling wagon a finger, red faced, I'm really.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
A tough guy thing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
We're cracking down on landlords who keep rents down?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What why?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Why can you stop?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Exact? Please stop? It says here.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Many politicians have mangled the word insurrection.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
We have.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We have Chuck Schumer calling it an erection at one.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Point, Chuck Chuck Todd Chuck Todd or was it a
Jake Tapper, It doesn't matter, but so he did call it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We've done it. I'm sure we have. H oh but
that's not Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Donald Trump has said if he loses again in November,
there will be quote a blood bloodshed. What in God's
name are we talking about here, Biden said, So, he
said that Trump said there will be bloodshed. He said
there would be a blood bath, and he said it
in the context of economics, and blood bath is a
common economic term.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You can ask.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Why we use such a over the top grotesque term
for economics, but they do regularly, and they have my
entire life. But yes, quite specifically, a setback in the
automotive industry lying sack of senility. So even if you
get the word correct, it's a horrible thing for the
president to be saying, stoking fear where it's not there.
(23:09):
But how about him saying Donald Trump has said if
he loses in November, there will be bloodshed.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Wow, so misleading and wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Um, he said the spirit of the nubleac spirit endurers
in front of the NAACP.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So he just left that left out a couple of
letters since the thing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Mm, yeah, ACP, which has gone from heroic to utterly
corrupt and ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And a number of other minor ones where he said
is and said R and stuff like that. But the U.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Some of those are cunts. You know, they have some consequences.
The whipping up people about bloodshed just factually flat out
a lie.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
God damn it. How do we How do we get
to this point?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
And I like it when people make the argument that
our culture brought along Trump. Trump didn't change our culture.
We were headed this direction. Trump amplified this whole thing.
But now we have the sitting president of the United
States saying my opponent promises bloodshed if he loses. Right,
(24:19):
that's wild, it's discouraging. It's a little scary. Are you
looking around and asking where are the adults, where are
the referees, where are those who would keep us on
a higher plane? And then him telling young black people
that you have to work ten times as hard just
to have a shot in this country. They're gutting you
down in the streets. They don't want you to succeed.
(24:40):
They like the Republicans, don't want black people to succeed.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well that's interesting. Yeah, I want to get to that
in a minute.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But first, can we please enjoy the actualities as we
say in the business the audio, Can we do sixty two? Michael,
come on, here's the president, and when I.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic.
I'm humble to receive this organization for truly inspires saving
millions of families, eight hundred thousand dollars in premium, eight
thousand dollars in a year in premium, for cracking down
on corporate landlords. Well, keep rents down. The mortality rate
for black moms, where I'm nearly three times more likely
(25:19):
to die, he calls. The direction is who storm Capitol
Hill Patriots? Donald Trumps said, if he loses again in November,
there will be quote.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Bloodshed, double ac spirited doors.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
See on an individual individual basis, they range from to
how that's pretty funny. Taken as a collection in a
single speech, that's just gobbledegod. Well, if I was sitting
there in the crowd, I would have been mystified as
to what's going exactly. Sometimes I'm an erectionist. Sometimes I
(25:55):
don't know if I'm tired, if I have any money,
car somebody stop him. So Jason Riley, who's one of
my favorite columnists. He's just a super smart guy, great
sense of humor too. He writes primarily for The Wall
Street Journal, he is a black man for what it's worth,
and he, like us, was just disgusted by Biden's speech
to Morehouse. Morehouse State isn't Morehouse College traditionally black college
(26:19):
men's college, and the headline is Biden's demoralizing speech to
more House grads. And interestingly, he compares and contrasts Biden's
speech the other day with Barack Obama's speech to the
same college in twenty thirteen, and how Barama's Obama's could
not have Burama.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
There you go, You're gonna have to correct that transcript.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
How Obama's could not have been more different than Biden's
and vice versa, Joe Gay calling him Barama, which of
course has undertones of racism and othering.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh it does anyway.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Ah, It's unmistakable to me the incredible paternalism of the
old white liberal toward black people. I mean, they really
want black people on the government plantation to be completely
dependent and dumb and not ask questions. So he mentions
(27:18):
that Obama talked about the all the opportunities, the tremendous
opportunities the twenty first century America had to offer the
black graduates. He highlighted that laws and hearts and minds
had changed significantly over the previous decades, and he said,
your generation is uniquely poised for success, unlike generations of
(27:39):
African Americans that came before it. How unblm is that,
how uncritical race theory is that from the first black president,
Obama emphasized the importance of individual responsibility and black advancement,
and counseled the graduates to guard against self pity. He
said that while his job as president was to have
(28:00):
for policies that generate more opportunity for everybody, government can
only go so far. Quote, there are some things, as
black men, we can only do for ourselves. Among those
he mentioned was being a role model. Just as more
houses taught you to expect more of yourselves, inspire those
who look.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Up to you to expect more of themselves.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Then, he said, too many young black men in the
US continue to make bad personal choices and blame others. Wow,
As I have to say, growing up, I made quite
a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings
as just another example of the world trying to keep
a black man down. I had a tendency to sometimes
make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But
one of the things that you've all learned over the
(28:38):
past four years is there's no longer room for any excuses.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
What a great speech to give from the first black president,
and it was cruelly undercovered at the time. I ought
to remember this speech having taken place, and it ought
to be fairly high in my my kind of mental
file of Barack Obama, who he was.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Not controversial enough. Well, I would.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Also argue that white liberal journalists despised that speech. They
hated it, and they didn't they didn't amplify it at all. Wow,
you're absolutely right, Jason Riley's right to compare and contrast
a black president saying that to those young black men
(29:28):
compared to Joe Biden saying you can't.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Get ahead, you know where we go.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Pointedly, Obama said that while racism and discrimination still exist,
they should not be used as a crutch quote. Nobody
cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you
suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that
whatever you've gone through, it pales in comparison to the
hardship's previous and generations endured, and they overcame them. If
they overcame them. You can overcome them. Wow, that's what
(29:55):
a great speech. No kid, Now, When Biden took the
stage on he didn't see an audience of black men
with limitless opportunities awaiting them. Instead, he saw an audience
of black victims who should question their prospects. Quote, you
started college just as George Floyd was murdered.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
There was a reckoning on race.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually
works for you. What is democracy of black men are
being killed.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
In the street.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
By whom only in mister Biden's imagination would be quote
natural for black people in the audience, many of whom
were second and third generation college graduates, to wonder if
democracy was working for them. And he goes back to
the fact that Atlanta, where Morehouses had black mayors going
back to the seventies, has a black Democratic US Senator,
a Morehouse grad and one reelection by defeating a black Republican.
(30:45):
Obama told Morehouse graduates that if they act responsibly and
make good choices, they can live productive and fulfilling lives
in our society. Mister Biden suggested that the graduates see
themselves in George Floyd if black men are being killed
on the streets, we bear witness for me. That means
to call out the poison of white supremacy, to root
out systemic racism, which is fine, Riley writes, But what's
(31:08):
the connection between white supremacy and black homicides when nearly
all black murder victims are killed not by white people
or police officers, by other black people. Name checking Floyd
in front of a black audience doesn't change that reality.
And using a convicted felon and drug addict is a
poster child for black men in this country is deeply insulting.
(31:29):
And then he finally summarizes mister Biden's speech revealed someone
who doesn't believe that black people can or should be
held to the same standards as other groups. You know what, Jason,
The worst thing Biden said in that whole speech to
me was you got to work ten times harder to
even have a shot.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's just not true. No, it's not, It's not true
at all.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
But Jason says that he doesn't believe black people canner
should be held at the same standards as any other groups.
You know, Joe Biden, so senile. It's hard to say
what he thinks at this point, but I think it's
more that black people are empowered and educating and aware
enough that they're starting to choose other than always the
Democratic Party automatically.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And his strategy is, we've.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Got to convince black people they don't have a chance
unless they rely on us, the great white, old Democratic Party,
which is just not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
What a fraudulent pitch that is. God dang it.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
We're still far over five months away from the election,
and I assume it's going to get hotter and worse
before we get there.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
That is awful. I've got Katie Green's headlines coming up.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We got quite a bit to talk about today to
catch you up on, including Joe Biden announcing another round
of student debt relief, in other words, stealing taxpayer money
from you. You went to work today to pay off
some college kids student loan that they willingly signed up for,
which I just couldn't be more mad about. You couldn't
make me more mad than I about that story.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Godh wow.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
All right, more on that got all sorts of good
stuff to squeeze in today. But first let's figure out
who's reporting what it's the lead story with Katie.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Green, Katie, thank you guys from ABC News Ireland, Norway
and Spain to recognize Palestinian state.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I was just reading about that.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
It's don't get me started, well to get Jack started
again from the Associated Press, Biden administration canceling student loans
for another one hundred and sixty thousand borrowers.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, bringing the total to whatever it is, one hundred
and eighty billion dollars worth of loan cancelation since the
Supreme Court said you don't have the power to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
All to perpetuate their.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Their permanent constituency in academia's scam.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's what this is about.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
It's buying votes, absolutely, but it's trying to perpetuate the
bloated university scam by taxpayers taken on the exorbitant, unjustifiable
tuition payments the dopey kids took on.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
From CNN, Pentagon says none of the aid unloaded from
US peer off coast of Gaza has been delivered to
Palestinian population.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Well that's interesting. Why they're saying some death oh go ahead.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Oh they're saying desperate gosins blocked some of the trucks
and then now they've offloaded them, but they're just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, that's one way to put it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
It all got stolen every time they try to bring
a truck in, it all gets stolen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And one of the reasons the ICC put out an
arrest warrant for bab Net and Yahoo is that he's
using hunger as a war weapon.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
First of all, they've provided gazillions of tons of food
and it gets stolen by hamas.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
What are they supposed to do about it?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And the ICC is completely made up, It doesn't have
any authority from.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
NBC news man is fined after trying to body slam
killer Whale.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
How bad idea.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
They jumped off the boat and tried to body I
am this thing. They filmed it, of course, put it
on social media, and now authorities in New Zealand er
trying to track him down.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
All right, I hope it showed off his face.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Finally, the Babylon Bee Biden begins speech by thinking, I
ran President Ibraham Racey for coming.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, he's sitting next to Jackie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
The other day he thanked one of the hostages for
being in the crowd. The person is in a tunnel
in Gaza. Oh, somehow he got that wrong in his speech.
I was a fairly embarrassing moment, but he's ready to
serve another four years.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Absolutely wow, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and Key.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Armstrong and Getty from the studio see season your a
dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of the
Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
And today we are under the tutelage of our general manager,
gotta go.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
With Joseph R. Biden Man.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He is bringing it out on the campaign trail, saying
some crazies. You know, I was all ready to go
to talk about the the fact that he gave a
speech in Detroit and the White House had to make
nine corrections to his speech. But that's not really that's
(01:09):
the fun part. The part that makes me so mad
are the policies. And he announced today while you were asleep,
another round of billions of dollars to bail out student
loans with your tax money.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And I just don't even know what to.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Do anymore, bail out of the for profit university scam
and put it like that too. So once again, and
I know you've heard this a thousand times, especially from me,
because it drives me so crazy, because I worked all
through college. I went to a cheap college on purpose,
like a lot of people do. And now a whole
(01:49):
bunch of people who decided to do it differently get
their loans waived by the rest of us taxpayers with
our hard earned money that we make every day going
to work. Another seven point seven billion dollars in student loans,
another one hundred and sixty thousand loan borrowers, bringing the
total now, keeping in mind, of course, that the Supreme
Court said the way he was doing it before was
(02:11):
unconstitutional because the president of the United States doesn't have
the power to just cancel student loans well so to
summarily cancel debt wherever he wants to. So far, the
total now is one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars.
And as a lot of people point out, when you
do the math on all kinds of different things, when
you include interest in all these different things, it's a
(02:33):
lot more money than that that the taxpayers are on
the hook for.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Right. I'm glad you brought up the Supreme Court. I
have two points to make.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Number one, the best case is that once again it
becomes clear it's already clear that the president is willing
to do things he knows to be patently unconstitutional to
get the credit among his constituency for trying and then
have the court conveniently prevent him from doing something that's
absolutely terrible custally speaking. Number two, Yeah, you were working
(03:02):
your way through college. I, as you know, work my
way through college in a house of ill repute, and
I saw and did things I will never forget. And
that's how you learned to become an erectionist, which is
a term we all learned yesterday. If you were following
the White House correction, that was part of my work duties.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Joe Biden the other day, when he was given his
speech of the nine corrections that the White House had
to release yesterday to his spoken word was they corrected
the word erectionist, those you who were erectionists on January sixth,
And of course they change it to insurrectionists.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's what he meant. But erectionist is a good word.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I feel like it's something I could apply in my
daily life. It does sound like a job with very
very specific duties.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Very specific. Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anyway, perhaps us that we move on. Good work if
you can get it. I don't even know what to
do about I mean, it's so transparent.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
He stands up in front of those all those black
graduates the other day and says, you have to work
ten times harder just to break even in this country,
because this country is out to kill you and keep
you down. Thanks for that, evil country, an awful country.
I hate this country, said Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And then two days later he bails out a whole
bunch of debt that people willingly took. And those are
the most advantaged people in America statistically, the people that
are going.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
To do the best in life.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
There's all kinds of people you could bail out on
the loans that they signed up for if you really
care about because I've got his quote here about once
again helping the middle class. You want to help the
middle class or the people that are trying to get
you wave car loans for cheap cars or rent or
and I'm not for this, I'm again sure of course,
if you actually want to help, you know, people on
(04:56):
the bottom rungs get ahead. Yeah, that's the if you
would bail out, not the college kids. Are you curing
me giant confiscation of other people's tax wady to cancel.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Credit card debt. Is that next that'd be popular. I don't.
I don't, I don't. I don't even know what we're
doing anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I think we have passed into a different part of
our history, a different era of our history.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I'm not sure what to call.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
It at this point, but the cheery, go go times
is not on my list. The other thing, just if
you want to look at it from the politics of it,
I don't think he's getting any bang for my buck.
I don't think he's getting any bang from my buck.
I don't think the young people are now going to
(05:48):
vote for him. I think I think he'd been promising
it that so for so long that they they that
he was going to bail out, you know, pay for
their college loans. I think they've been expecting it for
so long, because I know some people personally who just
had been all along expecting this to happen. They've been
told now for years, I think it was. I think
if it didn't happen, there'd have been a negative reaction,
(06:10):
But the fact that it is happening is going to
be a wash. So I don't even think he's going
to get any extra.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Votes from young people for this. For all the exact
para money.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, you'd like to see somebody prostitute the Constitution and
at least get something out of it now instead of just,
you know, just crap it on it. Yeah, so we'll
run through all the corrections I had to make to
the speech the other day, because it's just it's pretty
dang funny. And I know Trump misspeaks also, and I've
got some examples of that we'll get to a little
bit later. But it's pretty dang funny the fact that
(06:42):
the White House official, whoever they are, now, after he
gives a speech, they have to come out and fix
all of the phrases and words that he said that
oftentimes are the exact opposite of what he was trying
to say. Right, you got, you have your chief of
bad ahead of kef Care, come in and mop everything up.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Oh hey, this will gratify you.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Jack Jason Riley, Proud black Man, columnist for the Wall
Street Journal. He despised that Morehouse College speech. He could
not have hated it more and boy did he bring
the thunder.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'll share that with you in a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I want to hear that Wall Street Journal has
got a heck of an editorial about it today too.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's it's that is awful.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I mean, like the student loan thing is a policy
thing that I think is unfair and all, but it's
not going to lead to violence. A president standing in
front of Black America and saying this is a racist
country and you can't get ahead because they are keeping
you down will lead to violence, right or at best,
(07:52):
despair and terrible lives for the people concerned. It's it's awful,
it's corrosive. It's just it's evil. You know, we under
use that word in the modern world.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Evil.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's actually evil to do that. You know what other
word we under use, erectionist. It just doesn't come up enough.
I'm going to make sure I say it at least
ten times today. Let's start the show efficially. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this it is how did he
get to be? Wednesday? Made the twenty second the year
twenty twenty four? Life will not being a born twenty four?
Where Armstrong and getting we approve of this program, all right,
then let's begin officially according to CC rules and regulations.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Here comes to show at Mark Unified Reich. That's Shittler's language.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
That's not America's.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Just when you thought the nation's discourse couldn't get any dumber,
we go with that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So how did this start?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Trump said something or somebody posted something that had Reich
in it. Yeah, it was on the Trump campaign website.
Somebody posted some video that included a quote of some
kind about a unified Reich, which was actually from the
World War One era of Germany, just meaning unified kingdom
or whatever. Reich doesn't have some sort of magical Nazi meaning.
(09:06):
They called it the third Reich, meaning the third Kingdom.
It's not a good idea, but as soon as somebody
saw the word, they took it down. It's this is
just nothing. Now, it's bad politics to.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Use that word. That is a that is never gonna
work out to your favor.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Well, what what, mister biased Robert what's his last name?
Secretary of Labor Clinton, Robert Reiche.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's right, not just the word. They had n't bed
that cabinet hildkiten, hild kiten hile Clinton arrest my insane case.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I don't think they should use that word, but to
try to pretend that it portends, uh, you know, Nazism
is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's on the level of pretending to throw a tennis
ball for a dog. I mean, it's that level of
political discourse and the ball in here here, there you go.
I guess my mood is shaped somewhat by the cable
news I took in today and I saw this on
both Fox and MSNBC from different angles. But like MSNBC,
(10:11):
they did a long segment about Trump wanting to be
a dictator. I mean, the guy has stated he wants
to be a dictator, And they played a clip of
FDR talking about dictators and then went to Trump saying
I'll be a dictator on day one, and then had
this long conversation about World War Two and Hitler and
I just like, what are we doing here? Well? And
(10:33):
Biden himself in the speech the other day said Trump
he promised a bloodbath if he loses.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Right, Yeah, everybody's playing games with the language and playing
games with people's emotions in a way that's just it's
not gonna work out for us.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's not gonna work out. Yeah, yep, we have.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
A band in any sense of decency in patriotism anyway,
what are you gonna do? Life as you loved it
is over. But what are you gonna do? More on
the way? How's your life? We don't ask you that enough.
(11:24):
How's your life?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Is it good? Are you thriving?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Isn't that the question they ask the polls to Gallip
asks are you thriving or struggling?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah? Yeah? Was there a third one? Or is it
just those two choices? I think it's just those two.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I think you're either thriving or struggling. I think if
I got to choose a two for today, I'm struggling.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But we can.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah, more on that to come. Let's just dive right
into our freedom loving Quote of the day. This is
from a American novelist, writer, and journalist, Martha Gellhorn. She
lived from nineteen oh eight to nineteen nine.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
I don't know her work, but I like this quote.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
People often say with pride, I'm not interested in politics.
They might just as well say I'm not interested in
my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights,
my freedoms, my future, or any future. If we mean
to keep any control over our world and lives, we
must be interested in politics. That is so good and
so true. Yet I was talking to a good friend
of mine the other day, who has just decided to
(12:25):
check out and he can because he's in a situation
where he can, and he seems pretty happy.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I think his argument, or some folks argument, might be,
it's become so mobbed up and corrupt and enormous and
profitable that a little fellow like.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Me just doesn't have any effect. I would say, if
you focus on.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Worry less about changing the globe and more about changing
your town or your county, and you might find yourself
interested again.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, gonna.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm never gonna argue with anybody over that point. But
you know, I would ask him all your kids, you
know again, they got a whole world to come into.
Surely have some interest in what world they're gonna grow
up in.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, Yeah, mail Bag, if.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You'd like to drop us an no, please do Mailbag
at Armstrong Andngetti dot com. Ah, let's see this is
from Frank. He says, Guys, next time Katie's dad, the Judge,
is on the show, please ask the good jurist to
name his favorite courtroom movie.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Ah, it's a great one.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I'm guessing just Night Court the television series could be
because of its realism.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, Katie, if you could extend that question to your pop.
I'm guessing it's, uh, what's it with Marissa Tomay my
cousin Vinny.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Isn't that everybody's favorite courtroom movie? The Two Uts?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Let's see, ah, inflation versus price, Terry with a lovely explanation.
Acceleration is to inflation as velocity is to price. When
you stop accelerating the velocity, your price stays the same.
When eggs accelerate from three bucks a dozen of six
bucks per dozen, and you stop accelerating, the price stays
(14:20):
at six bucks per dozen. I a news story today
again today where they kind of insinuated that prices are
going down.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And right, all right, I don't know who that's for.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's it's shocking and discouraging that ignorance, that profound and
widespread influences our our journalism and hence our politics.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And I'm a guy who says hence.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
See then, doctor Goodtooth says, and trust me, see an
eggs at six bucks a dozen here in the HNT
as hogs Nipple, Tennessee is quite alarming.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Thanks you, thank you, doctor. Oh that's hilarious. I know
it just keeps getting better and better. Oh, that's great.
All right, let's see moving all along. Ah bah bah
bah ah.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
This is a note from Travis, and he had a
couple of topics in His main point was he'd spent
three days motorcycling up and down the coast I believe
the West coast.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh, eating and drink.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh yeah, and it would stop and eat and drink
along the way, and was really having a festa. He says,
got home late last night, woke up this morning, hopped
on the scale. I have gained ten pounds since Friday morning.
I think we have a record.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And then he.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Says, I feel ploaded.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And I noticed that I needed to loosen my wrist
watch because my wrist got fat.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Is that even a thing? Maybe you can ask a sleeve. Boy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, when in a week you've eaten enough you have
to loosen your wrist watch, that's a problem. Wow, dude, Yeah,
maybe get off your bike. He can go jog to
the next diner.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
That's awesome. On the topic of grade.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Inflation, got this note from Alnonymous, taught ninth grade science.
I was the only one of four ninth grade science teachers.
I'm sorry I was one of four, but the only
one that ever gave f's. The entire summer school ninth
grade science makeup course was filled with my students. The
administrators pressured me to get the grades up. I spent
hours in meetings with parents and had to keep careful
records for the challenged grades to stick. Eventually, the administrators
(16:29):
were changing my grades. I got tired of the fight
and resigned with a nice settlement from the district. Can't
do the right thing even if you want, because you
emphasize the knowledge they actually get as opposed to the grade. Wow.
Uh yeah, I like this note from Joe Joe the Lady.
P Diddy can't be prosecuted for his beating on video
(16:52):
of his former girlfriend because the statute of limitations has expired.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
This happened in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
If the Trump prosecutors picked up an extra year because COVID,
why can't we apply the same premise to P Diddy
beating down women in public? Man, I understand statute of
limitation laws and why they exist, But when you got
a video like that, I mean, it actually happened. He's
apologizing for it, so he's not even denying it. How
do you get to skate on that? Well, you skate
(17:19):
on that and not paperwork errors. If you're Trump, what
a kangaroo court.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And when I was vice president, things were kind of
bad during the pandemic. And what happened was Rock said.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
To me, go to Detroit and help fix it.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Well, poor Mary, he spend more time with me than
he ever thought he's going to have to God.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So that was a speech that Biden gave in Detroit,
and the White House had to make nine corrections to
Biden's NAACP Detroit speech. Now, from what I understand, common
in white Houses to have to make corrections now and then,
but it's usually like every fifth speech, you'd make one correction,
(18:09):
as opposed to nine corrections in one speech like this.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I mean him.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Saying that as vice president during the pandemic, Barack sent
him to Detroit. Obviously that doesn't make any sense, is
he was not vice president then. But so the White
House correction of that was he meant during the recession,
not during the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Okay, fine, but it's gonna be hard.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's gonna be hard for all of us to follow
a lot of this campaign if we have this going on,
and to be fair and we'll get into this more later.
Trump yesterday said he was looking into changing the laws
or letting states change the laws around birth control. That
caused a big kerf fluffle. Later he kind of walked
(18:58):
it back. I think I don't know this, but I
think he thought he was talking about abortion. He just
made a mistake. Maybe that's what I think happened. But regardless,
it's gonna be hard to follow these guys. I mean,
I don't know how we're gonna have debates over Paul.
Of course, I don't think any of the policy debates
(19:20):
make any difference. It's just that you either can handle
Trump or you can't. I think that's it. But anyway,
back to the Biden speech, in the nine corrections, m
changes fixed trips of the tongue in addition to having
words just completely wrong, for instance, calling the capital writers
capital rioters erectionists instead of insurrectionists. That's because his teeth
(19:45):
don't work, you know, That's what that's all about. Arm
It's not his teeth and his brain. So you got
the whole He went because of the pandemic, not because
of the pandemic, but because of the recession. He att
point said, folks I'm humbled to receive this organization, which
defines the character. He meant award, not organization. So the
(20:06):
White House puts out these transcripts and they just draw
a line through the ward organization and then put in
parentheses award, and they just have to correct the sentence.
So it makes any sense whatsoever that he was reading
off of a teleprompter. It's not like he was, you know,
ad libbing it or whatever. Right, Yeah, be handy to
have that service in day to day life. He said,
(20:27):
here's the transcript of what mister Giddey actually meant. I
wish I could do that, you know, in a relationships.
Sometimes what I actually meant was this exactly. It was
truly inspurising, he said, over four hundred young black men,
they meant inspiring.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, fine, that's just another flub.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
This is a he said, I protected and expanded the
Affordable Care Act, saving families eight hundred thousand dollars a
year in premiums. Well, that would be a lot to
say per family. He meant eight dollars, eight hundred dollars
would be really well received. I liked this one particularly
(21:08):
because I heard this one somehow without the correction and
didn't understand what it meant. We're cracking down on corporate
landlords who keep rents down. Okay, you don't like landlords
who keep rents down? He met, we're cracking down on
corporate landlords to keep rents down. So they just out
they draw line through who keep rents down and change
(21:29):
it to to keep rents. Now, that's a pretty big difference.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean, you picture the audience sitting there without the
benefit of the corrections. By the end of it, they
had to be pretty mystified. This list is getting long.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, exactly if I'm sitting there in the crowd.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
He said, we're cracking down, and he always does the
yelling wagon a finger, red faced, I'm really.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
A tough guy thing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
We're cracking down on landlords who keep rents down?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What why?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Why can you stop?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Exact? Please stop? It says here.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Many politicians have mangled the word insurrection.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
We have.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We have Chuck Schumer calling it an erection at one.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Point, Chuck Chuck Todd Chuck Todd or was it a
Jake Tapper, It doesn't matter, but so he did call it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We've done it. I'm sure we have. H oh but
that's not Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Donald Trump has said if he loses again in November,
there will be quote a blood bloodshed. What in God's
name are we talking about here, Biden said, So, he
said that Trump said there will be bloodshed. He said
there would be a blood bath, and he said it
in the context of economics, and blood bath is a
common economic term.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You can ask.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Why we use such a over the top grotesque term
for economics, but they do regularly, and they have my
entire life. But yes, quite specifically, a setback in the
automotive industry lying sack of senility. So even if you
get the word correct, it's a horrible thing for the
president to be saying, stoking fear where it's not there.
(23:09):
But how about him saying Donald Trump has said if
he loses in November, there will be bloodshed.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Wow, so misleading and wrong.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Um, he said the spirit of the nubleac spirit endurers
in front of the NAACP.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So he just left that left out a couple of
letters since the thing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Mm, yeah, ACP, which has gone from heroic to utterly
corrupt and ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And a number of other minor ones where he said
is and said R and stuff like that. But the U.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Some of those are cunts. You know, they have some consequences.
The whipping up people about bloodshed just factually flat out
a lie.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
God damn it. How do we How do we get
to this point?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
And I like it when people make the argument that
our culture brought along Trump. Trump didn't change our culture.
We were headed this direction. Trump amplified this whole thing.
But now we have the sitting president of the United
States saying my opponent promises bloodshed if he loses. Right,
(24:19):
that's wild, it's discouraging. It's a little scary. Are you
looking around and asking where are the adults, where are
the referees, where are those who would keep us on
a higher plane? And then him telling young black people
that you have to work ten times as hard just
to have a shot in this country. They're gutting you
down in the streets. They don't want you to succeed.
(24:40):
They like the Republicans, don't want black people to succeed.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well that's interesting. Yeah, I want to get to that
in a minute.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But first, can we please enjoy the actualities as we
say in the business the audio, Can we do sixty two? Michael,
come on, here's the president, and when I.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic.
I'm humble to receive this organization for truly inspires saving
millions of families, eight hundred thousand dollars in premium, eight
thousand dollars in a year in premium, for cracking down
on corporate landlords. Well, keep rents down. The mortality rate
for black moms, where I'm nearly three times more likely
(25:19):
to die, he calls. The direction is who storm Capitol
Hill Patriots? Donald Trumps said, if he loses again in November,
there will be quote.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Bloodshed, double ac spirited doors.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
See on an individual individual basis, they range from to
how that's pretty funny. Taken as a collection in a
single speech, that's just gobbledegod. Well, if I was sitting
there in the crowd, I would have been mystified as
to what's going exactly. Sometimes I'm an erectionist. Sometimes I
(25:55):
don't know if I'm tired, if I have any money,
car somebody stop him. So Jason Riley, who's one of
my favorite columnists. He's just a super smart guy, great
sense of humor too. He writes primarily for The Wall
Street Journal, he is a black man for what it's worth,
and he, like us, was just disgusted by Biden's speech
to Morehouse. Morehouse State isn't Morehouse College traditionally black college
(26:19):
men's college, and the headline is Biden's demoralizing speech to
more House grads. And interestingly, he compares and contrasts Biden's
speech the other day with Barack Obama's speech to the
same college in twenty thirteen, and how Barama's Obama's could
not have Burama.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
There you go, You're gonna have to correct that transcript.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
How Obama's could not have been more different than Biden's
and vice versa, Joe Gay calling him Barama, which of
course has undertones of racism and othering.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh it does anyway.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Ah, It's unmistakable to me the incredible paternalism of the
old white liberal toward black people. I mean, they really
want black people on the government plantation to be completely
dependent and dumb and not ask questions. So he mentions
(27:18):
that Obama talked about the all the opportunities, the tremendous
opportunities the twenty first century America had to offer the
black graduates. He highlighted that laws and hearts and minds
had changed significantly over the previous decades, and he said,
your generation is uniquely poised for success, unlike generations of
(27:39):
African Americans that came before it. How unblm is that,
how uncritical race theory is that from the first black president,
Obama emphasized the importance of individual responsibility and black advancement,
and counseled the graduates to guard against self pity. He
said that while his job as president was to have
(28:00):
for policies that generate more opportunity for everybody, government can
only go so far. Quote, there are some things, as
black men, we can only do for ourselves. Among those
he mentioned was being a role model. Just as more
houses taught you to expect more of yourselves, inspire those
who look.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Up to you to expect more of themselves.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Then, he said, too many young black men in the
US continue to make bad personal choices and blame others. Wow,
As I have to say, growing up, I made quite
a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings
as just another example of the world trying to keep
a black man down. I had a tendency to sometimes
make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But
one of the things that you've all learned over the
(28:38):
past four years is there's no longer room for any excuses.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
What a great speech to give from the first black president,
and it was cruelly undercovered at the time. I ought
to remember this speech having taken place, and it ought
to be fairly high in my my kind of mental
file of Barack Obama, who he was.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Not controversial enough. Well, I would.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Also argue that white liberal journalists despised that speech. They
hated it, and they didn't they didn't amplify it at all. Wow,
you're absolutely right, Jason Riley's right to compare and contrast
a black president saying that to those young black men
(29:28):
compared to Joe Biden saying you can't.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Get ahead, you know where we go.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Pointedly, Obama said that while racism and discrimination still exist,
they should not be used as a crutch quote. Nobody
cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you
suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that
whatever you've gone through, it pales in comparison to the
hardship's previous and generations endured, and they overcame them. If
they overcame them. You can overcome them. Wow, that's what
(29:55):
a great speech. No kid, Now, When Biden took the
stage on he didn't see an audience of black men
with limitless opportunities awaiting them. Instead, he saw an audience
of black victims who should question their prospects. Quote, you
started college just as George Floyd was murdered.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
There was a reckoning on race.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually
works for you. What is democracy of black men are
being killed.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
In the street.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
By whom only in mister Biden's imagination would be quote
natural for black people in the audience, many of whom
were second and third generation college graduates, to wonder if
democracy was working for them. And he goes back to
the fact that Atlanta, where Morehouses had black mayors going
back to the seventies, has a black Democratic US Senator,
a Morehouse grad and one reelection by defeating a black Republican.
(30:45):
Obama told Morehouse graduates that if they act responsibly and
make good choices, they can live productive and fulfilling lives
in our society. Mister Biden suggested that the graduates see
themselves in George Floyd if black men are being killed
on the streets, we bear witness for me. That means
to call out the poison of white supremacy, to root
out systemic racism, which is fine, Riley writes, But what's
(31:08):
the connection between white supremacy and black homicides when nearly
all black murder victims are killed not by white people
or police officers, by other black people. Name checking Floyd
in front of a black audience doesn't change that reality.
And using a convicted felon and drug addict is a
poster child for black men in this country is deeply insulting.
(31:29):
And then he finally summarizes mister Biden's speech revealed someone
who doesn't believe that black people can or should be
held to the same standards as other groups. You know what, Jason,
The worst thing Biden said in that whole speech to
me was you got to work ten times harder to
even have a shot.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
That's just not true. No, it's not, It's not true
at all.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
But Jason says that he doesn't believe black people canner
should be held at the same standards as any other groups.
You know, Joe Biden, so senile. It's hard to say
what he thinks at this point, but I think it's
more that black people are empowered and educating and aware
enough that they're starting to choose other than always the
Democratic Party automatically.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And his strategy is, we've.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Got to convince black people they don't have a chance
unless they rely on us, the great white, old Democratic Party,
which is just not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
What a fraudulent pitch that is. God dang it.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
We're still far over five months away from the election,
and I assume it's going to get hotter and worse
before we get there.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
That is awful. I've got Katie Green's headlines coming up.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
We got quite a bit to talk about today to
catch you up on, including Joe Biden announcing another round
of student debt relief, in other words, stealing taxpayer money
from you. You went to work today to pay off
some college kids student loan that they willingly signed up for,
which I just couldn't be more mad about. You couldn't
make me more mad than I about that story.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Godh wow.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
All right, more on that got all sorts of good
stuff to squeeze in today. But first let's figure out
who's reporting what it's the lead story with Katie.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Green, Katie, thank you guys from ABC News Ireland, Norway
and Spain to recognize Palestinian state.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, I was just reading about that.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
It's don't get me started, well to get Jack started
again from the Associated Press, Biden administration canceling student loans
for another one hundred and sixty thousand borrowers.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, bringing the total to whatever it is, one hundred
and eighty billion dollars worth of loan cancelation since the
Supreme Court said you don't have the power to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
All to perpetuate their.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Their permanent constituency in academia's scam.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
That's what this is about.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
It's buying votes, absolutely, but it's trying to perpetuate the
bloated university scam by taxpayers taken on the exorbitant, unjustifiable
tuition payments the dopey kids took on.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
From CNN, Pentagon says none of the aid unloaded from
US peer off coast of Gaza has been delivered to
Palestinian population.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Well that's interesting. Why they're saying some death oh go ahead.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Oh they're saying desperate gosins blocked some of the trucks
and then now they've offloaded them, but they're just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, that's one way to put it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
It all got stolen every time they try to bring
a truck in, it all gets stolen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And one of the reasons the ICC put out an
arrest warrant for bab Net and Yahoo is that he's
using hunger as a war weapon.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
First of all, they've provided gazillions of tons of food
and it gets stolen by hamas.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
What are they supposed to do about it?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And the ICC is completely made up, It doesn't have
any authority from.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
NBC news man is fined after trying to body slam
killer Whale.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
How bad idea.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
They jumped off the boat and tried to body I
am this thing. They filmed it, of course, put it
on social media, and now authorities in New Zealand er
trying to track him down.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
All right, I hope it showed off his face.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Finally, the Babylon Bee Biden begins speech by thinking, I
ran President Ibraham Racey for coming.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, he's sitting next to Jackie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
The other day he thanked one of the hostages for
being in the crowd. The person is in a tunnel
in Gaza. Oh, somehow he got that wrong in his speech.
I was a fairly embarrassing moment, but he's ready to
serve another four years.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Absolutely wow, Armstrong and Getty
