Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jakie and he Is Armstrong and Yaddy from studio Scene City.
(00:27):
Welcome to a brand new week, pregnant with possibilities, good
or bad. Whomers could be the weekier life you remember forever.
Oh man, I'll never forget it was October twenty fourth
that I met her? Or may it all fall apart
(00:48):
this week? You get march to your car with a
cardboard box, she leaves you, and you get into toad infection.
All can happen this week? Or more likely another boatload
of mess, the worst fate? What was the thing we
used to say all the time, another stinking weak answer
to the man? Could just be that exactly. But here
(01:09):
we are, and today we are under the tutelage of
our general manager Kings, which we want none of for something.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Screw that, Yeah, with all the Kings and such no way, man,
It's one of my kids were more aware of the
no Kings protests than I was, and I completely forgot
about it, and I ended up driving right through the
middle of one in my Tesla cyber truck, and that
got a tremendous amount of attention from the crowd as
people were jeering and screaming and yelling and pointing at
(01:38):
me and flipping me off.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It was quite the show as my kids and I
drove through that chase. Maybe no better symbol of what
odd times we're living in than that. Yeah, that I'm
driving an electric vehicle from the most successful electric car
company in world history and getting attacked by liberals. They
got to wear it fast. It is weird. Somebody like
(02:02):
from another culture or another time, asked you to explain
that it takes you minute. I was charging. There's a
Tesla charging station here behind the radio station. I was
charging like I do after the show every day, and
I was over there and there was this guy, young
black guy in a cyber truck pulled in next to
me to charge up. And then I asked him, how
do you like your truck? Bah blah blait antie. He said, Man,
though when I first got it, people kept flipping me
(02:22):
off and I couldn't figure out why because he's not
a guy who follows the news. He said. I had
to research it, and I found out it's because some
people ate the Elon Musk. It's funny. People kept flipping
me off. I was like, what is happening? It's funny.
But the No King's protest the interesting thing about it,
at least the one I drove through. There was a
counter protest too, but on both sides there were an
(02:45):
a high number of Epstein signs of some sort another.
But why sid what Hank? If you're not on the
Epstein list? I'd blasted my horn and gave me the
thumbs up. I don't know what I meant. He's denying
too much. If you ask me, Michael, anyway, get you,
I've got. That's still the thing. That's That's what got
you out of bed and down to the street corner
(03:05):
today was the Epstein files and these kings that we
don't want any of. How do they stand on the
whole Epstein thing? You'd have to ask both sides. I
guess well. The mainstream media anyway is calling it maybe
the biggest protest in US history, certainly the biggest in
that last half century in terms of a nationwide protest.
(03:26):
But does that surprise anybody. We're the most polarized we've
ever been at a time when people are following politics
like it's their religion in a way that never happened.
So no, I'm not surprised on either side. I'm sure
we'll have as big a one, you know, when you
have the Trump rallies all across the country and the
boat rallies and everything. Nobody had ever seen anything like that.
Of course, this is our this is our thing now.
(03:49):
The national pastime is not baseball. It's following Trump, whether
you like it or hate it, right, one hundred percent correct.
And the thing that's so amusing to me about the
whole No King's rally is in the size of it
makes it even more amusing. Nobody can quite tell you
what it is, what it's against other than kings, clearly,
(04:10):
But it's just kind of a generalized I don't like
Donald Trump demonstration, and given what you just cited so
eloquently and the permanent omni cause, which is you know,
a dozen, fifteen, twenty three different causes, but they're all
(04:30):
united around I don't like conservatism or Trump or whatever.
So it's so scatter shot in vague to me. You'd
think that if quote unquote the other side were to
have such a massive, massive demonstration that folks on the
right would be thinking, oh my god, what do we do?
What have we done here? But it's so scattershot, it's
it's mostly just amusing to me.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, it was, Yes, Michael, you think it's just an
excuse for people to get together. Oh yeah, yeah, that's
so much part of the sure we hate Trump get
together with the other people who don't like Trump, and
you know, it really energizes them and makes you feel
like you did something.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah. I had not thought about that because I was
taking it in as just basically an anti Trump protest.
But yeah, you couldn't tell from the signage as I
drove through that what the like any particular issue. It's
not like when it was the Iraq War protests or
something is a very specific thing. I think you glossed
(05:26):
over Michael's genius analysis there. That on the left, which
tends to be a little more emotional and a little
more social, it's about, as we've talked about through the years,
it's about approval as opposed to truth. If you have
an opinion that's greeted with a great deal of approval,
that's what you are seeking. If you're of that mindset
(05:47):
as opposed to like a careful analysis of if it
makes sense or not. You don't even care. And so
this is a giant orgy of approving of each other
and saying, look, we're all together, and doesn't this feel good?
And by the way, it feels really righteous because I
remember the Civil rights movement and people demonstrating in all
and it's just a giant ego fest. It's political masturbation. Sorry,
(06:11):
protests are so overrated. Oh yeah, they're just they don't
do anything. And because it happened once when everybody got
all energized around the civil rights which is as righteous
a cause as you could ever have in our nation's history.
And you know, and who knows how much the protests
had to do with that. I think Lyndon Johnson was
hell bent, based on my reading, to get this done anyway.
(06:33):
But protests are so overrated, I would agree. Yeah, organizing
is a lot better use of your time. Yeah, okay,
whoop do you do? I mean, this was the biggest
protest in the last fifty years. Almost certainly, tell me
by Tuesday noon, what the hell had accomplished, What minds
it changed, what legislation has spawned? Really? Anything other than
(06:57):
hot dog sales. I'd imagine there was a fairly good
day for you know, concessions right at these sites. Other
than that, nothing, it's just silly. Yeah. And well, and
then where I am the weather was gorgeous, so it
was just like it was a party. It was like
a good time has something to do. It's like you
if you wear going to the football game, similar sort
of thing. You see friends and hang out and wow,
(07:18):
that was fun. Why would people get together wear the
same color jersey and yell and scream in high five
each other just because their city's rented millionaires were having
a good game, because it feels good to be part
of a tribe of a group. And folks on the
left tend to be really really driven by that. Speaking
of rented millionaires and more. My Dodgers hat today, I'm
(07:39):
not even gonna call it a Dodger's hat anymore. I
bought this at Dodgers Stadium. My son and I were
there this summer. We saw show, Hey a Tani hit
a home run? Show heyo Tani Friday. If you don't
follow baseball, He's a pitcher and a hitter. He batted
three times, he hit three home runs. He pitched six
shutout innings with ten strikeouts of the starting pitcher. That
(07:59):
is many people are calling the greatest performance by any
single player in the history of a game that has
been going for one hundred and fifty years. People who
say that are correct. That is absolutely am And the
fact that it was in a you know, send him
to the World Series. It's not like it was the
middle of July in a meaningless game. So just incredible. Yeah. Yeah,
(08:22):
he's super hiven three for three home runs, strikes out ten,
shut out the their opponent, and for six innings. That's
just what is he the largest man ever in Japan,
A very big guy. I mean, the Japanese people are
not known for being, you know, physically imposing. He looks
to be enormous. Yeah he is. And he's so smooth.
(08:44):
He's just one of those guys. Just the way he
walks and everything is just like very very coordinated, more
than the ever in the air Michael hunh that's getting
the same feeling. Smooth, Eh, just incredible, disgraceful maybe that's
the better word. La. You know, however, you like your men,
that's none of my business. Less homootic Muggy, the two
(09:08):
of you go for your Brazilians together. Wow, that's funny.
That's funny. All right, we should start the show officially. Yes,
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is Monday,
October twentieth of the year twenty twenty five. Or I'm
Strong and Getty. We improve of this program. Hang on
a second, looking around, just making sure. Yeah, no freaking
(09:29):
kings in here. Good, so I'm against that. All right,
Here we go officially according to FCC rules regulations the show,
and indeed the week starts officially at mark terms a bitch. Yeah,
why is that? I don't know. He's just we don't
like him. That's the word around here. Any any particular
reason why you don't like him, No clue at all.
I'm just going with everybody else saying, there you go.
(09:51):
Who's with me? Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd. Yeah, yeah,
And I understand there are things you could complain about
Trump doing that are certainly authoritarian issue, whether it's yeah,
I've got a list of complaints, whether it's tariffs or
blown up boats or whatever, you know, some of the
immigration stuff. But uh, remember when Joe Biden was going
(10:15):
around Supreme Court said I couldn't do away of those
college loans, but I did anyway, and the crowd would
cheer that he had ignored the Supreme Court, which he
didn't actually, but he liked pretending he did. Do you
remember the last couple of days of his administration where
he tweeted out that the Equal Rights Amendment was now
part of the constitution. Do you remember that? Right? Wow? Yeah,
(10:43):
that's not cared then? That was a king move of
any kind. All right, whatever, knock yourselves out and joy yourselves.
I've decided I just can't take that anymore. That whole thing.
It's just attiring to laugh, it is to laugh and
not smooth enough for I like being smooth boy, got
a little stubble there going on. Smooth it up from
(11:06):
mister Armstrong. I came across a study over the weekend
of a woman writing a column about what happened to men?
What's going on with men? Why can't we date men?
And there's some interesting statistics in there, and this female
columnist both blaming men for some of their decisions and
(11:26):
blaming women for driving men into some of these decisions
that I thought was fantastic. There is real momentum around
the idea of coming to grips with the feminization of
American society. I read a fascinating piece over the weekend
that a number of folks recommended. I'm going to edit
it because it's long and get it ready for air,
(11:47):
but it is absolutely thought provoking. And it's not like
there's something wrong with being feminine or women. It's a
question of balance, and we are way the hell out
of balance. Speaking of being, we don't want to deny
the feminine Katie Green her time, So I'm great. We've
got Katie's headlines on the way. You have any thoughts
our text line four one five two nine five kftc
(12:10):
Armstrong Andy, Yeah, we had to check in on the
old UH ceasefire and do that a little bit later.
And some things Trump said on the plane last night.
Do you have a somehow I missed this story over
the weekend Financial Times reporting that Trump and Zolensky were
screaming each either in the Oval office on Friday. Really,
I hadn't heard that. I hadn't heard that either till today.
(12:31):
But that did not go well. Apparently, well, I don't know,
there might have been a heated moment. Well, Trump said
Trump backed off the Tomahawks thing after talking to Boot
and then screamed at Zelensky. So that looks like the
way I went down the boy. Ugh, what is going on?
I don't know what's going on? All right, more on
that to come. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
(12:51):
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Katie hit it all righty guys, Starting with ABC. Widespread
internet outage reported as Amazon Web Services works.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On the issue. Yeah, a lot of your super giant
sites were down. I guess in the wee hours. Are
they still working on it still? Yeah, they're still working.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
There's a couple of glitches still going on with some
of these websites.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I've been checking them. It's a heck. Or is it
just some sort of dumb you forgot to update your
something or other on itself? Yeah, that's the president's theory. Uh.
I just chose this because it was hilarious from CNN.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Trump's response to No King's Marches only proved the protesters point.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Did you see the video he sets out? It's hilarious.
Oh my god. They played it on the news last night.
He's a he's a fighter pilot and a plane flying
a plane. Over the No Kings protesters drumping poo on
them and wearing a crown, and the jet says Trump
King Trump right, wearing a crown, Yeah right. From Fox News.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
FBI investigates hunting stand with sight line to Trump's air
Force one exit area at Palm Beach Airport.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, that's troubling. Yeah, I don't know how good the
hunting is down there in Palm Beach. I mean, they
got a lot of prize bucks running around through the woods. Well,
even if even if they did they called it suspicious,
I think it's beyond suspicious. Yeah. I think we know
what they were up to. That's a big deal. That's crazy. Yeah, scary.
(14:22):
Good lord. Can you imagine? I mean we had discussed
this plenty when he was almost assassinated during the election.
Can you imagine what then to this country? Anybody, if
you're a lefty and you think that that would help
the country in any way, you are wrong, oh Lord.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
From CBS News, Israel launches retaliatory strikes in Gaza after
saying Hamas targeted its forces, killing two IDF soldiers.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Virtually every story I've seen in the Bigfoot media has
been phrased in that very way Israel fires at Hamas, Yeah,
claiming blah blah blah. Where is Hamas violate ceasefire? And
is you know, shoots at them? Well, which is everybody's
description of what happened, unless you're like a super pro
Palestinian activist. Even the Washington Post of New York Times though,
(15:10):
are mostly blaming Hamas. So that's good in there. In
the text of their writing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
From the Wall Street Journal, Trump turning up the heat
on Latin America.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's an interesting front. Oh. Speaking of
the Journal, they had a really really interesting piece about
how China came to have such a stranglehold over the
rare earth stuff we need so much. We could talk
about that maybe an hour or two, because it presents
a really interesting dilemma to a free society like ours.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
From study fines, detached retinas, fractured sockets. Pickleball eye injuries
soar along sports popularity.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And this is just all of a sudden. Pickleball's been
hot for quite a few years, just all of a sudden,
a lot of people got whacked in the eye in
the last all of a sudden, I like my retina,
I'm afraid of that's exactly why Michael didn't play attached retinas.
And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee, John Bolton's
mustache agrees to testify against him in exchange for immunity.
(16:11):
That's a good story. So when I see oldsters at
the place where I lift weights playing pickleball, ain't nobody
getting their eyes detached from those hits. I mean they're
kind of barely lobbing it back and forth across. This
sounds like an editor said, Hey, pickleball's really hot. Can
you give me an angle on pickleball story? I don't
(16:32):
know what it is. This something tie into it, make
it dramatic. Yeah, scary is always good. People getting hurt.
Trump commented on the ceasefire and whether it's still holding
or not, among other things we can talk about coming up.
So stay here, Armstrong and getty. The President, is this
ceasefire going to hold? Are you confident the cease file
(16:53):
with hold? Saying? Are you confident that the ceasefire is
going to hold? I think I think it's going to hold.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I think people are a lot of reasons why it's
gonna hold. But I think people are tired of it.
It's been it's been centuries. Okay, not just recent, it's
s been centuries.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think people are tired of it. Yeah, the seasfire's
gonna hold. And why are they even talking about whether
the ceasefire basically announced a week ago is going to hold.
Here's the news report on that from the weekend, in
case you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Israel carrying out a number of air strikes across Gods
and they also cut off aid to the enclave, but
have since reversed that decision. But Prime Minister net Yah,
who had already threatened to cut off aid until all
of the hostage bodies are returned, Israeli official saying this
was retaliation for Hamas violating the ceasefire agreement. Over the weekend, too,
Israeli soldiers were killed when Hamas fighters attacked their position
(17:48):
along the Yellow Line, that area where they have partially
withdrawn now. Hamas says they have been going after criminal
gangs and that the allegation that they're violating the ceasefire
agreement is a false pretext for Israel to a zoom.
It's heavy bombardment.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Both sides are accusing the others of violating the agreement.
But I think and to me, the smart people on
both sides are recognizing these are dead ender Hamas soldiers
out there that aren't being directed by someone higher up
as part of a movement. They're just well they're nihilist
job as lomists right right. Always soldiers, factions and sub
(18:27):
factions of all of these organizations that we've heard about
through the years. But yeah, the leopard will not change
its spots. The idea that there's some enduring peace right
now is practically fantasy. Really interesting. I feel like it's
stronger than you do. The Washington Post editorial board, the
Gaza cease fire is cracking. Hamas is to blame terrorist brutality,
(18:48):
risks igniting a Palestinian civil war. So the food aid
got cut off. Israel bombed the crap out of Gaza
after two of their soldiers got killed. Trump said the
ceasefire is holding. Both sides.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Let me get the quote from the New York Times,
because I thought that was pretty good. I don't know
if I can find it or not, but it was basically,
both sides say they are committed to the ceasefire holding.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
But do the spokespeople for Hamas speak for the rank
and file? That's the disconnect here. I don't think they
do anymore. Well, I don't think there's enough rank and
file left to make a difference. So that is basically
what the Washington Post editorial board goes into, is that
there's not much Hamas left. Hamas is so weak right
(19:39):
now that it faces challenges to its control of Gaza
and is trying to hang on to power as it
has for many, many years. All revolutions eventually consume themselves.
Unfortunately for miserable Palestinians of Gaza, Hamas is not quite
yet in its final death throws, but they are coming.
Who knows what the next weeks will look like. The
(20:01):
problem with stuff like this is, you know, you get
one bad, really bad incident that gets everybody completely fired
up again, and then all hell could break it loose.
I hope that doesn't happen, just because who's the everybody
in this scenario? Do you mean like the average Palestinian? Yeah,
if the average Palestinian thought that, wow, Israel doesn't mean
(20:21):
it or whatever, yeah, well, I you know, how long
the death throws last is the question. I guess that
there's some disagreement on I see no reason for real optimism,
So netting. Yahoo has got his highest approval rating he's
had in forever after the hostages have been returned, and
his party is dominant according to the latest polls. So
(20:44):
that's an interesting result. Yeah, and we'll see where this goes. Oh.
Jd Vance is going to arrive in the region tomorrow
and is planning to be there all week long in
an attempt to get the cease fire to hold. I
don't know if you saw sixty Minutes last night, but
their lead story was with Jared Kushner and Whitcoff, the
two main architects of the ceasefire, and I thought some
(21:07):
of the conversations were really interesting. For instance, this I
heard the President asked you what the chances were for success, yes,
and you said.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
One hundred percent. And he said, why do you feel
so confident? And I said, well, we can't afford to fail.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
We just kept on thinking to ourselves this finish line,
This finish line is about saving lives. So that's Jared
Kushner and Whitcough there in sixty minutes. I got a
comment on this, but here's a little more from the report.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
We wanted the hostages to come out, We wanted a
real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a
way to bring humanitarian aid into the people, and then
we had to write all these complex words to deal
with the fifty years of stupid word games that everyone
in that region is so used to playing. Both sides
wanted the objective and we just need to find a
way to help everyone get.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
There stupid word games. I talked about that a couple
months ago when I was reading a book about the
Piece of cord under Carter back in the UH late seventies,
and how they would have all these arguments over like
one dumb word, and they'd put it in it. They'd
have this word in this agreement and change the words
(22:19):
slightly in this agreement so that they both could sign
off for their people and stuff like that. And that's
what Jared Krishner was talking about, trying to get past
these stupid word games that've been playing for half a
century on these peace deals. But the thing I took
away from well, two things. One sixty minutes leading with
that story treating them like adults, and like, wow, this
is amazing. What you pulled off, I think is the
(22:40):
new Berry Weiss's paramount sixty minutes. But two. It reminded
me of when Brett Baron Fox had the Doge team on.
They're all the stuff you heard about the crazy Doge people.
Then you saw him actually interviewed and thought, well, these
are really serious, smart people. That's why I thought we
heard for weeks that they were stone teenage just like
(23:00):
to play around on computers, and now they've been turned
loose in the government. No, they're brilliant guys. The way
wit coffin Jared Kushner presented in your mainstream or left
leaning media as just corrupt, crazy people with no experience
in Neppo blah blah blah, and they were. They came
off as really really very serious, very smart people who
(23:23):
worked on this deal and were able to pull it off.
M good for sixty minutes for doing that story. Yeah.
The second story was like super critical of the Trump administration.
Wasn't very There was some really good football on, so
I didn't get to get to that. How about baseball?
How about the Broncos scoring thirty three points in the
fourth quarter yesterday? Do that in the first three quarters
(23:50):
or he took to the Giants. The game is four
quarters long? Yeah, yeah, games into sports game seven tonight yeah, yeah,
the Mariners and Blue Jay So Seattle fans rooting for you.
They've never been to the World Series. The Mariners they
win tonight, they're going that's a good story. But they
(24:12):
sympathized with the good folks of Seattle. But you're not,
you know, chucking firebombs at cops. Up start Blue Jays
something too. Underdogs either one of those teams. They're the
exact opposite of the Colossus Dodgers. Did you see what
the Dodgers manager said on Friday after they swept their
way into the World Series? Now, what about critics who
(24:34):
say you bought a World Series by spending four hundred
million dollars, way more than any other team. And he said, yeah,
well we're really going to prove that's true by sweeping
in the World Series too, And everybody cheered like unashamed
on the desk. Exactly why would you be ashamed? I mean,
what am I supposed to do? I managed the team,
They got me all the best players. Cool, what do
you want me to do? Lose just to make you
(24:55):
feel better? Set some of them on the bench or what?
What the hell? All right? Us good money after bad,
bad minute? This is different. Yeah, we spent the money,
so we want to get our money's worth. Yeah, we're
gonna whoop a little urs. A friend of mine who's
in sports financing pointed out that the Dodgers pitching staff
is a higher payroll than two major league teams. Wow,
(25:16):
that's pretty impressive. Yeah, okay, we have breaking news before
we take a break. The Supreme Court will consider whether
people who regularly smoke pot can legally own guns. I
didn't know that was on the table.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Is a question.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They're pretty a couple of pretty big pot stories in
my bullpen of news. The answer has got to be
clearly yes. Now that marijuana is legal practically everywhere, isn't it.
I mean, because you can drink beer known a gun.
But what if they get all stoned up on their
marijuanas and there their guns, eating off their guns like
potheads do? Right right? Sure? I wonder how they defined regularly.
(25:56):
That's a good question right there. The Supreme Court's gonna
have to learn some We'll have to speak up. SA
defined regularly. If you don't take every third day off,
no gun for you. This is an odd case. They're
gonna take it on. Huh, I just getting high on
the weekends, you're gonna have a gun. I get high
every day. That ends with why no gun for me? Dude?
(26:19):
Locks my gummies, no gun. Okay, we got the mail
bag and a whole bunch of other stuff on the way.
Stay here. I blew it all last week. I was
trying to establish this new thing where I do a
dumb joke right before Katie's headlines, and I forgot it. Today.
My girlfriend recently dumped me. She said I was an American.
(26:41):
I saw it coming from a kilometer away. Last week.
I did your your your combo chicken crossing the road,
knock knock, going to my wife yesterday. That's a good joke,
out said sad. Yeah. Here's your freedom loving quote of
the day. This is a great one set along by
Alert Listener, and it is from Maria Coriina Machado, the
(27:03):
Venezuelan liberty proponent who's been standing up against Maduro and
won the Nobel Prize. Oh by the way, Ms Machado
was called a far right wing activist by NPR, who
prior to the Nobel Prize, was trying to portray her
some sort of fascist monster who how dare she stand
(27:24):
up against the kind and just Maduro regime. They really
are too far gone to save. But here's what she said,
do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to
losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously, defend it fiercely,
because freedom is not just an American promise. It is
the hope of the world. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
(27:44):
I put it, and you know I liked her. You
rarely have the word sexy in a freedom loving quote
of the day, but I like her. It's seductive. Socialism
is one of the greatest scams ever concocted. Mailbag, I
put a post note of my mirror mind myself, do
not go boting off the coast of Venezuela, and just
to put a post a note there right right. You
(28:06):
get preoccupied, you're thinking about something else, going along in
your speedboat with two giant engines and kerb Bloyd drops
note mail bag at Armstrong Eyeddy dot com. This is
a nice note from Dave. A good early morning find
gentleman and Katie. Couple of usings from the People's Republic
of Davis, California. Here's something that's always bothered me about
the trans movement. The whole premise is that your identity
(28:29):
is separate from your body. You have a female body,
that is irrelevant if you identify as a male for instance. Okay,
got it. But if your identity is separate from your
physical presence, why do you need to go through such
machinations like surgery and drugs to make yourself look like
that which you say doesn't define you. That is confusing.
That is confusing. Then he throws in, Also, Joe, what
(28:51):
do you tell a radio talk show host who has
two black eyes? Nothing you've already told him twice is unfortunate?
Unfortunate Jefe? Yes, yes, not appropriate at all, David Davis.
Let's see what else? Oh, let's see Aaron who is
recovering from surgery and is ranting about Netflix, among other things.
(29:13):
He lists several complaints that he says and furthermore, everything
is gay, gay to the max, Max gay. My kids
can't watch this year's Halloween Baking Challenge shows because they're
so freaking gay. Daddy. Why does that man act like
a lady, Daddy? Why does he have a rainbow beard?
He says, I'm stuck in better covering from spine surgery.
So this media hatred is all extra relevant for me
(29:35):
right now. Oh, we wish you was speedy recovery moving along.
A great example of progressivism, Joshan, it's been years since
you've covered this topic. Not quite, but anyway, he says.
I was down in La Jolla, California this past week.
What a beautiful part of the world that is. Went
to a restaurant which had no bathroom for anyone. Of course,
the guy said, we can't let anyone use their bathrooms
(29:56):
because the building is old, not up to eighty a
co And there's a guy in a wheelchair suing all
the businesses on their strip because of it, the wheelchair
Nazis ride again. Stupid people ruin everything. Yeah, between wheelchair
Nazis and the homeless situation, the idea of public restrooms
have just gone away. Yeah. Yeah, bums and junkies washing there.
(30:19):
They're junk in the Starbucks sink, causing the downfall of America. Disgusting.
It's time for playing talk. Let me you're dancing around
the topic. See move o. God, I saw it coming
from a kilometer away. You see that's just not good. Oh.
(30:41):
In the wake of the No Kings rally, which I
want to talk about more next hour. Uh, the most
impactful thing you can do today. Look at that. It's
an email from Team d NC to us Jack Team election.
A day is just weeks away on November fourth. What
that's an awful off your election? What kind of America
(31:01):
do you want to wake up to on November fifth?
Donald Trump will be hoping for good news. He wants
to flip the new Jersey governor's mansion. He wants California's
districting amendment to fail. He wants MAGA Republicans to take
control of Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Here at the DNC, we
don't plan on letting that happen. But team we need
your help and here's the most impactful thing you can do.
Send the money. Of course, that's thanks your contribution. That's
(31:24):
the big Prop fifty in California redistricting, trying to take
on Texas thing. We'll see how that turns out. We
had got a note from a person in the know
who said the no on fifty people have canceled all
their ads. It's going to pass. The California will become
even more blue. What that's how they interpreted that. Behind
the scenes of most attest to its Veracid, the most
(31:47):
recent polling, and there hasn't been a lot. Was like
two thirds of Californians were saying, including sixty percent of Democrats,
were against it. But the hatred of Trump has settled in. Well. Well, No,
in an off off year election, turnout is spectacularly low,
and they will turn out every single public employee union
(32:09):
member and public employee adjacent union like the nurses, for instance,
and they will vote for it. In their internal polling
says it'll pass, which has nothing to do with what
most Californias think because most Californians aren't going to vote correct. Yeah, okay, yeah,
it's a concentrated special interest wins lots of elections over
(32:30):
a generalized general interest, gives us. The generalized general interest
hasn't been given marching orders to show up that they
know they have to do. Anyway, that's why California is
so corrupt. Anyway, let's move on from that. Let's see
caxpat happy and Idaho right, and this is delightful, guys.
(32:50):
Topic last week about dressing dead bodies into the sounds
they can make brought back a memory I retired from
a large fire department. One day we had a call
for a well, being check, we found these subjects slumped
over a chair with the needle still in her arm
and obviously dead from an OD. While waiting for the corner,
my boss said to sit the subject up, and when
I did, the sound of air escaping the body let
(33:12):
out a very loud moan, which scared the crap out
of me and the other new guy. My boss laughed
his ass off. Wow, he that would freak you out. Yeah. Ah,
the lighter side of drug ods. See, do we have
time for that? It's pretty serious. This is an interesting
(33:33):
question though, from a confused Jim. Guys, I don't understand
your position on the race to the bottom when it
comes to one side prosecuting the other law fair and
similar topics. For years, it's only been one side, and
as soon as the other side does it, we're in
a race to the bottom. One side can't just continue
sitting on their hands while the other gets away with
(33:55):
attacking the other. At some point one side will stop
because they know the other will just do the same.
But having one side sitting on their hands, it will continue.
I think that's a pretty generous reading that both sides
do where they think the other side has always done it.
We've never fought back. We're finally going to. That's just
not accurate. I just don't think that's accurate. We've been
tit for tat one rung on the ladder, going downhill,
(34:17):
both sides. In terms of breaking norms for a very
long time. I think the speed of the downward slide
has increased or oh no kidding, Yeah norms? What norms?
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Where does it end? Eh? Probably nowhere? Good. So how
did China get a strangle hold on the rare earths?
And what can we do about it as a country.
It's going to take a little bit of creativity and
departing from some of our principles, and man have just decided,
I ain't Dayton any of y'all heterosexual month? Why is
(34:51):
that an interesting column about that? We'll get to at
some point. If you missed a segment, get the podcast
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jakie and he Is Armstrong and Yaddy from studio Scene City.
(00:27):
Welcome to a brand new week, pregnant with possibilities, good
or bad. Whomers could be the weekier life you remember forever.
Oh man, I'll never forget it was October twenty fourth
that I met her? Or may it all fall apart
(00:48):
this week? You get march to your car with a
cardboard box, she leaves you, and you get into toad infection.
All can happen this week? Or more likely another boatload
of mess, the worst fate? What was the thing we
used to say all the time, another stinking weak answer
to the man? Could just be that exactly. But here
(01:09):
we are, and today we are under the tutelage of
our general manager Kings, which we want none of for something.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Screw that, Yeah, with all the Kings and such no way, man,
It's one of my kids were more aware of the
no Kings protests than I was, and I completely forgot
about it, and I ended up driving right through the
middle of one in my Tesla cyber truck, and that
got a tremendous amount of attention from the crowd as
people were jeering and screaming and yelling and pointing at
(01:38):
me and flipping me off.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It was quite the show as my kids and I
drove through that chase. Maybe no better symbol of what
odd times we're living in than that. Yeah, that I'm
driving an electric vehicle from the most successful electric car
company in world history and getting attacked by liberals. They
got to wear it fast. It is weird. Somebody like
(02:02):
from another culture or another time, asked you to explain
that it takes you minute. I was charging. There's a
Tesla charging station here behind the radio station. I was
charging like I do after the show every day, and
I was over there and there was this guy, young
black guy in a cyber truck pulled in next to
me to charge up. And then I asked him, how
do you like your truck? Bah blah blait antie. He said, Man,
though when I first got it, people kept flipping me
(02:22):
off and I couldn't figure out why because he's not
a guy who follows the news. He said. I had
to research it, and I found out it's because some
people ate the Elon Musk. It's funny. People kept flipping
me off. I was like, what is happening? It's funny.
But the No King's protest the interesting thing about it,
at least the one I drove through. There was a
counter protest too, but on both sides there were an
(02:45):
a high number of Epstein signs of some sort another.
But why sid what Hank? If you're not on the
Epstein list? I'd blasted my horn and gave me the
thumbs up. I don't know what I meant. He's denying
too much. If you ask me, Michael, anyway, get you,
I've got. That's still the thing. That's That's what got
you out of bed and down to the street corner
(03:05):
today was the Epstein files and these kings that we
don't want any of. How do they stand on the
whole Epstein thing? You'd have to ask both sides. I
guess well. The mainstream media anyway is calling it maybe
the biggest protest in US history, certainly the biggest in
that last half century in terms of a nationwide protest.
(03:26):
But does that surprise anybody. We're the most polarized we've
ever been at a time when people are following politics
like it's their religion in a way that never happened.
So no, I'm not surprised on either side. I'm sure
we'll have as big a one, you know, when you
have the Trump rallies all across the country and the
boat rallies and everything. Nobody had ever seen anything like that.
Of course, this is our this is our thing now.
(03:49):
The national pastime is not baseball. It's following Trump, whether
you like it or hate it, right, one hundred percent correct.
And the thing that's so amusing to me about the
whole No King's rally is in the size of it
makes it even more amusing. Nobody can quite tell you
what it is, what it's against other than kings, clearly,
(04:10):
But it's just kind of a generalized I don't like
Donald Trump demonstration, and given what you just cited so
eloquently and the permanent omni cause, which is you know,
a dozen, fifteen, twenty three different causes, but they're all
(04:30):
united around I don't like conservatism or Trump or whatever.
So it's so scatter shot in vague to me. You'd
think that if quote unquote the other side were to
have such a massive, massive demonstration that folks on the
right would be thinking, oh my god, what do we do?
What have we done here? But it's so scattershot, it's
it's mostly just amusing to me.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, it was, Yes, Michael, you think it's just an
excuse for people to get together. Oh yeah, yeah, that's
so much part of the sure we hate Trump get
together with the other people who don't like Trump, and
you know, it really energizes them and makes you feel
like you did something.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah. I had not thought about that because I was
taking it in as just basically an anti Trump protest.
But yeah, you couldn't tell from the signage as I
drove through that what the like any particular issue. It's
not like when it was the Iraq War protests or
something is a very specific thing. I think you glossed
(05:26):
over Michael's genius analysis there. That on the left, which
tends to be a little more emotional and a little
more social, it's about, as we've talked about through the years,
it's about approval as opposed to truth. If you have
an opinion that's greeted with a great deal of approval,
that's what you are seeking. If you're of that mindset
(05:47):
as opposed to like a careful analysis of if it
makes sense or not. You don't even care. And so
this is a giant orgy of approving of each other
and saying, look, we're all together, and doesn't this feel good?
And by the way, it feels really righteous because I
remember the Civil rights movement and people demonstrating in all
and it's just a giant ego fest. It's political masturbation. Sorry,
(06:11):
protests are so overrated. Oh yeah, they're just they don't
do anything. And because it happened once when everybody got
all energized around the civil rights which is as righteous
a cause as you could ever have in our nation's history.
And you know, and who knows how much the protests
had to do with that. I think Lyndon Johnson was
hell bent, based on my reading, to get this done anyway.
(06:33):
But protests are so overrated, I would agree. Yeah, organizing
is a lot better use of your time. Yeah, okay,
whoop do you do? I mean, this was the biggest
protest in the last fifty years. Almost certainly, tell me
by Tuesday noon, what the hell had accomplished, What minds
it changed, what legislation has spawned? Really? Anything other than
(06:57):
hot dog sales. I'd imagine there was a fairly good
day for you know, concessions right at these sites. Other
than that, nothing, it's just silly. Yeah. And well, and
then where I am the weather was gorgeous, so it
was just like it was a party. It was like
a good time has something to do. It's like you
if you wear going to the football game, similar sort
of thing. You see friends and hang out and wow,
(07:18):
that was fun. Why would people get together wear the
same color jersey and yell and scream in high five
each other just because their city's rented millionaires were having
a good game, because it feels good to be part
of a tribe of a group. And folks on the
left tend to be really really driven by that. Speaking
of rented millionaires and more. My Dodgers hat today, I'm
(07:39):
not even gonna call it a Dodger's hat anymore. I
bought this at Dodgers Stadium. My son and I were
there this summer. We saw show, Hey a Tani hit
a home run? Show heyo Tani Friday. If you don't
follow baseball, He's a pitcher and a hitter. He batted
three times, he hit three home runs. He pitched six
shutout innings with ten strikeouts of the starting pitcher. That
(07:59):
is many people are calling the greatest performance by any
single player in the history of a game that has
been going for one hundred and fifty years. People who
say that are correct. That is absolutely am And the
fact that it was in a you know, send him
to the World Series. It's not like it was the
middle of July in a meaningless game. So just incredible. Yeah. Yeah,
(08:22):
he's super hiven three for three home runs, strikes out ten,
shut out the their opponent, and for six innings. That's
just what is he the largest man ever in Japan,
A very big guy. I mean, the Japanese people are
not known for being, you know, physically imposing. He looks
to be enormous. Yeah he is. And he's so smooth.
(08:44):
He's just one of those guys. Just the way he
walks and everything is just like very very coordinated, more
than the ever in the air Michael hunh that's getting
the same feeling. Smooth, Eh, just incredible, disgraceful maybe that's
the better word. La. You know, however, you like your men,
that's none of my business. Less homootic Muggy, the two
(09:08):
of you go for your Brazilians together. Wow, that's funny.
That's funny. All right, we should start the show officially. Yes,
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is Monday,
October twentieth of the year twenty twenty five. Or I'm
Strong and Getty. We improve of this program. Hang on
a second, looking around, just making sure. Yeah, no freaking
(09:29):
kings in here. Good, so I'm against that. All right,
Here we go officially according to FCC rules regulations the show,
and indeed the week starts officially at mark terms a bitch. Yeah,
why is that? I don't know. He's just we don't
like him. That's the word around here. Any any particular
reason why you don't like him, No clue at all.
I'm just going with everybody else saying, there you go.
(09:51):
Who's with me? Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd. Yeah, yeah,
And I understand there are things you could complain about
Trump doing that are certainly authoritarian issue, whether it's yeah,
I've got a list of complaints, whether it's tariffs or
blown up boats or whatever, you know, some of the
immigration stuff. But uh, remember when Joe Biden was going
(10:15):
around Supreme Court said I couldn't do away of those
college loans, but I did anyway, and the crowd would
cheer that he had ignored the Supreme Court, which he
didn't actually, but he liked pretending he did. Do you
remember the last couple of days of his administration where
he tweeted out that the Equal Rights Amendment was now
part of the constitution. Do you remember that? Right? Wow? Yeah,
(10:43):
that's not cared then? That was a king move of
any kind. All right, whatever, knock yourselves out and joy yourselves.
I've decided I just can't take that anymore. That whole thing.
It's just attiring to laugh, it is to laugh and
not smooth enough for I like being smooth boy, got
a little stubble there going on. Smooth it up from
(11:06):
mister Armstrong. I came across a study over the weekend
of a woman writing a column about what happened to men?
What's going on with men? Why can't we date men?
And there's some interesting statistics in there, and this female
columnist both blaming men for some of their decisions and
(11:26):
blaming women for driving men into some of these decisions
that I thought was fantastic. There is real momentum around
the idea of coming to grips with the feminization of
American society. I read a fascinating piece over the weekend
that a number of folks recommended. I'm going to edit
it because it's long and get it ready for air,
(11:47):
but it is absolutely thought provoking. And it's not like
there's something wrong with being feminine or women. It's a
question of balance, and we are way the hell out
of balance. Speaking of being, we don't want to deny
the feminine Katie Green her time, So I'm great. We've
got Katie's headlines on the way. You have any thoughts
our text line four one five two nine five kftc
(12:10):
Armstrong Andy, Yeah, we had to check in on the
old UH ceasefire and do that a little bit later.
And some things Trump said on the plane last night.
Do you have a somehow I missed this story over
the weekend Financial Times reporting that Trump and Zolensky were
screaming each either in the Oval office on Friday. Really,
I hadn't heard that. I hadn't heard that either till today.
(12:31):
But that did not go well. Apparently, well, I don't know,
there might have been a heated moment. Well, Trump said
Trump backed off the Tomahawks thing after talking to Boot
and then screamed at Zelensky. So that looks like the
way I went down the boy. Ugh, what is going on?
I don't know what's going on? All right, more on
that to come. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
(12:51):
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Katie hit it all righty guys, Starting with ABC. Widespread
internet outage reported as Amazon Web Services works.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
On the issue. Yeah, a lot of your super giant
sites were down. I guess in the wee hours. Are
they still working on it still? Yeah, they're still working.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
There's a couple of glitches still going on with some
of these websites.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I've been checking them. It's a heck. Or is it
just some sort of dumb you forgot to update your
something or other on itself? Yeah, that's the president's theory. Uh.
I just chose this because it was hilarious from CNN.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Trump's response to No King's Marches only proved the protesters point.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Did you see the video he sets out? It's hilarious.
Oh my god. They played it on the news last night.
He's a he's a fighter pilot and a plane flying
a plane. Over the No Kings protesters drumping poo on
them and wearing a crown, and the jet says Trump
King Trump right, wearing a crown, Yeah right. From Fox News.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
FBI investigates hunting stand with sight line to Trump's air
Force one exit area at Palm Beach Airport.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, that's troubling. Yeah, I don't know how good the
hunting is down there in Palm Beach. I mean, they
got a lot of prize bucks running around through the woods. Well,
even if even if they did they called it suspicious,
I think it's beyond suspicious. Yeah. I think we know
what they were up to. That's a big deal. That's crazy. Yeah, scary.
(14:22):
Good lord. Can you imagine? I mean we had discussed
this plenty when he was almost assassinated during the election.
Can you imagine what then to this country? Anybody, if
you're a lefty and you think that that would help
the country in any way, you are wrong, oh Lord.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
From CBS News, Israel launches retaliatory strikes in Gaza after
saying Hamas targeted its forces, killing two IDF soldiers.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Virtually every story I've seen in the Bigfoot media has
been phrased in that very way Israel fires at Hamas, Yeah,
claiming blah blah blah. Where is Hamas violate ceasefire? And
is you know, shoots at them? Well, which is everybody's
description of what happened, unless you're like a super pro
Palestinian activist. Even the Washington Post of New York Times though,
(15:10):
are mostly blaming Hamas. So that's good in there. In
the text of their writing.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
From the Wall Street Journal, Trump turning up the heat
on Latin America.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's an interesting front. Oh. Speaking of
the Journal, they had a really really interesting piece about
how China came to have such a stranglehold over the
rare earth stuff we need so much. We could talk
about that maybe an hour or two, because it presents
a really interesting dilemma to a free society like ours.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
From study fines, detached retinas, fractured sockets. Pickleball eye injuries
soar along sports popularity.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And this is just all of a sudden. Pickleball's been
hot for quite a few years, just all of a sudden,
a lot of people got whacked in the eye in
the last all of a sudden, I like my retina,
I'm afraid of that's exactly why Michael didn't play attached retinas.
And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee, John Bolton's
mustache agrees to testify against him in exchange for immunity.
(16:11):
That's a good story. So when I see oldsters at
the place where I lift weights playing pickleball, ain't nobody
getting their eyes detached from those hits. I mean they're
kind of barely lobbing it back and forth across. This
sounds like an editor said, Hey, pickleball's really hot. Can
you give me an angle on pickleball story? I don't
(16:32):
know what it is. This something tie into it, make
it dramatic. Yeah, scary is always good. People getting hurt.
Trump commented on the ceasefire and whether it's still holding
or not, among other things we can talk about coming up.
So stay here, Armstrong and getty. The President, is this
ceasefire going to hold? Are you confident the cease file
(16:53):
with hold? Saying? Are you confident that the ceasefire is
going to hold? I think I think it's going to hold.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
I think people are a lot of reasons why it's
gonna hold. But I think people are tired of it.
It's been it's been centuries. Okay, not just recent, it's
s been centuries.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I think people are tired of it. Yeah, the seasfire's
gonna hold. And why are they even talking about whether
the ceasefire basically announced a week ago is going to hold.
Here's the news report on that from the weekend, in
case you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Israel carrying out a number of air strikes across Gods
and they also cut off aid to the enclave, but
have since reversed that decision. But Prime Minister net Yah,
who had already threatened to cut off aid until all
of the hostage bodies are returned, Israeli official saying this
was retaliation for Hamas violating the ceasefire agreement. Over the weekend, too,
Israeli soldiers were killed when Hamas fighters attacked their position
(17:48):
along the Yellow Line, that area where they have partially
withdrawn now. Hamas says they have been going after criminal
gangs and that the allegation that they're violating the ceasefire
agreement is a false pretext for Israel to a zoom.
It's heavy bombardment.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Both sides are accusing the others of violating the agreement.
But I think and to me, the smart people on
both sides are recognizing these are dead ender Hamas soldiers
out there that aren't being directed by someone higher up
as part of a movement. They're just well they're nihilist
job as lomists right right. Always soldiers, factions and sub
(18:27):
factions of all of these organizations that we've heard about
through the years. But yeah, the leopard will not change
its spots. The idea that there's some enduring peace right
now is practically fantasy. Really interesting. I feel like it's
stronger than you do. The Washington Post editorial board, the
Gaza cease fire is cracking. Hamas is to blame terrorist brutality,
(18:48):
risks igniting a Palestinian civil war. So the food aid
got cut off. Israel bombed the crap out of Gaza
after two of their soldiers got killed. Trump said the
ceasefire is holding. Both sides.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Let me get the quote from the New York Times,
because I thought that was pretty good. I don't know
if I can find it or not, but it was basically,
both sides say they are committed to the ceasefire holding.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
But do the spokespeople for Hamas speak for the rank
and file? That's the disconnect here. I don't think they
do anymore. Well, I don't think there's enough rank and
file left to make a difference. So that is basically
what the Washington Post editorial board goes into, is that
there's not much Hamas left. Hamas is so weak right
(19:39):
now that it faces challenges to its control of Gaza
and is trying to hang on to power as it
has for many, many years. All revolutions eventually consume themselves.
Unfortunately for miserable Palestinians of Gaza, Hamas is not quite
yet in its final death throws, but they are coming.
Who knows what the next weeks will look like. The
(20:01):
problem with stuff like this is, you know, you get
one bad, really bad incident that gets everybody completely fired
up again, and then all hell could break it loose.
I hope that doesn't happen, just because who's the everybody
in this scenario? Do you mean like the average Palestinian? Yeah,
if the average Palestinian thought that, wow, Israel doesn't mean
(20:21):
it or whatever, yeah, well, I you know, how long
the death throws last is the question. I guess that
there's some disagreement on I see no reason for real optimism,
So netting. Yahoo has got his highest approval rating he's
had in forever after the hostages have been returned, and
his party is dominant according to the latest polls. So
(20:44):
that's an interesting result. Yeah, and we'll see where this goes. Oh.
Jd Vance is going to arrive in the region tomorrow
and is planning to be there all week long in
an attempt to get the cease fire to hold. I
don't know if you saw sixty Minutes last night, but
their lead story was with Jared Kushner and Whitcoff, the
two main architects of the ceasefire, and I thought some
(21:07):
of the conversations were really interesting. For instance, this I
heard the President asked you what the chances were for success, yes,
and you said.
Speaker 8 (21:19):
One hundred percent. And he said, why do you feel
so confident? And I said, well, we can't afford to fail.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
We just kept on thinking to ourselves this finish line,
This finish line is about saving lives. So that's Jared
Kushner and Whitcough there in sixty minutes. I got a
comment on this, but here's a little more from the report.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
We wanted the hostages to come out, We wanted a
real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a
way to bring humanitarian aid into the people, and then
we had to write all these complex words to deal
with the fifty years of stupid word games that everyone
in that region is so used to playing. Both sides
wanted the objective and we just need to find a
way to help everyone get.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
There stupid word games. I talked about that a couple
months ago when I was reading a book about the
Piece of cord under Carter back in the UH late seventies,
and how they would have all these arguments over like
one dumb word, and they'd put it in it. They'd
have this word in this agreement and change the words
(22:19):
slightly in this agreement so that they both could sign
off for their people and stuff like that. And that's
what Jared Krishner was talking about, trying to get past
these stupid word games that've been playing for half a
century on these peace deals. But the thing I took
away from well, two things. One sixty minutes leading with
that story treating them like adults, and like, wow, this
is amazing. What you pulled off, I think is the
(22:40):
new Berry Weiss's paramount sixty minutes. But two. It reminded
me of when Brett Baron Fox had the Doge team on.
They're all the stuff you heard about the crazy Doge people.
Then you saw him actually interviewed and thought, well, these
are really serious, smart people. That's why I thought we
heard for weeks that they were stone teenage just like
(23:00):
to play around on computers, and now they've been turned
loose in the government. No, they're brilliant guys. The way
wit coffin Jared Kushner presented in your mainstream or left
leaning media as just corrupt, crazy people with no experience
in Neppo blah blah blah, and they were. They came
off as really really very serious, very smart people who
(23:23):
worked on this deal and were able to pull it off.
M good for sixty minutes for doing that story. Yeah.
The second story was like super critical of the Trump administration.
Wasn't very There was some really good football on, so
I didn't get to get to that. How about baseball?
How about the Broncos scoring thirty three points in the
fourth quarter yesterday? Do that in the first three quarters
(23:50):
or he took to the Giants. The game is four
quarters long? Yeah, yeah, games into sports game seven tonight yeah, yeah,
the Mariners and Blue Jay So Seattle fans rooting for you.
They've never been to the World Series. The Mariners they
win tonight, they're going that's a good story. But they
(24:12):
sympathized with the good folks of Seattle. But you're not,
you know, chucking firebombs at cops. Up start Blue Jays
something too. Underdogs either one of those teams. They're the
exact opposite of the Colossus Dodgers. Did you see what
the Dodgers manager said on Friday after they swept their
way into the World Series? Now, what about critics who
(24:34):
say you bought a World Series by spending four hundred
million dollars, way more than any other team. And he said, yeah,
well we're really going to prove that's true by sweeping
in the World Series too, And everybody cheered like unashamed
on the desk. Exactly why would you be ashamed? I mean,
what am I supposed to do? I managed the team,
They got me all the best players. Cool, what do
you want me to do? Lose just to make you
(24:55):
feel better? Set some of them on the bench or what?
What the hell? All right? Us good money after bad,
bad minute? This is different. Yeah, we spent the money,
so we want to get our money's worth. Yeah, we're
gonna whoop a little urs. A friend of mine who's
in sports financing pointed out that the Dodgers pitching staff
is a higher payroll than two major league teams. Wow,
(25:16):
that's pretty impressive. Yeah, okay, we have breaking news before
we take a break. The Supreme Court will consider whether
people who regularly smoke pot can legally own guns. I
didn't know that was on the table.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Is a question.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They're pretty a couple of pretty big pot stories in
my bullpen of news. The answer has got to be
clearly yes. Now that marijuana is legal practically everywhere, isn't it.
I mean, because you can drink beer known a gun.
But what if they get all stoned up on their
marijuanas and there their guns, eating off their guns like
potheads do? Right right? Sure? I wonder how they defined regularly.
(25:56):
That's a good question right there. The Supreme Court's gonna
have to learn some We'll have to speak up. SA
defined regularly. If you don't take every third day off,
no gun for you. This is an odd case. They're
gonna take it on. Huh, I just getting high on
the weekends, you're gonna have a gun. I get high
every day. That ends with why no gun for me? Dude?
(26:19):
Locks my gummies, no gun. Okay, we got the mail
bag and a whole bunch of other stuff on the way.
Stay here. I blew it all last week. I was
trying to establish this new thing where I do a
dumb joke right before Katie's headlines, and I forgot it. Today.
My girlfriend recently dumped me. She said I was an American.
(26:41):
I saw it coming from a kilometer away. Last week.
I did your your your combo chicken crossing the road,
knock knock, going to my wife yesterday. That's a good joke,
out said sad. Yeah. Here's your freedom loving quote of
the day. This is a great one set along by
Alert Listener, and it is from Maria Coriina Machado, the
(27:03):
Venezuelan liberty proponent who's been standing up against Maduro and
won the Nobel Prize. Oh by the way, Ms Machado
was called a far right wing activist by NPR, who
prior to the Nobel Prize, was trying to portray her
some sort of fascist monster who how dare she stand
(27:24):
up against the kind and just Maduro regime. They really
are too far gone to save. But here's what she said,
do not be seduced. Socialism is the sexiest path to
losing your freedom. Guard your freedom jealously, defend it fiercely,
because freedom is not just an American promise. It is
the hope of the world. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
(27:44):
I put it, and you know I liked her. You
rarely have the word sexy in a freedom loving quote
of the day, but I like her. It's seductive. Socialism
is one of the greatest scams ever concocted. Mailbag, I
put a post note of my mirror mind myself, do
not go boting off the coast of Venezuela, and just
to put a post a note there right right. You
(28:06):
get preoccupied, you're thinking about something else, going along in
your speedboat with two giant engines and kerb Bloyd drops
note mail bag at Armstrong Eyeddy dot com. This is
a nice note from Dave. A good early morning find
gentleman and Katie. Couple of usings from the People's Republic
of Davis, California. Here's something that's always bothered me about
the trans movement. The whole premise is that your identity
(28:29):
is separate from your body. You have a female body,
that is irrelevant if you identify as a male for instance. Okay,
got it. But if your identity is separate from your
physical presence, why do you need to go through such
machinations like surgery and drugs to make yourself look like
that which you say doesn't define you. That is confusing.
That is confusing. Then he throws in, Also, Joe, what
(28:51):
do you tell a radio talk show host who has
two black eyes? Nothing you've already told him twice is unfortunate?
Unfortunate Jefe? Yes, yes, not appropriate at all, David Davis.
Let's see what else? Oh, let's see Aaron who is
recovering from surgery and is ranting about Netflix, among other things.
(29:13):
He lists several complaints that he says and furthermore, everything
is gay, gay to the max, Max gay. My kids
can't watch this year's Halloween Baking Challenge shows because they're
so freaking gay. Daddy. Why does that man act like
a lady, Daddy? Why does he have a rainbow beard?
He says, I'm stuck in better covering from spine surgery.
So this media hatred is all extra relevant for me
(29:35):
right now. Oh, we wish you was speedy recovery moving along.
A great example of progressivism, Joshan, it's been years since
you've covered this topic. Not quite, but anyway, he says.
I was down in La Jolla, California this past week.
What a beautiful part of the world that is. Went
to a restaurant which had no bathroom for anyone. Of course,
the guy said, we can't let anyone use their bathrooms
(29:56):
because the building is old, not up to eighty a
co And there's a guy in a wheelchair suing all
the businesses on their strip because of it, the wheelchair
Nazis ride again. Stupid people ruin everything. Yeah, between wheelchair
Nazis and the homeless situation, the idea of public restrooms
have just gone away. Yeah. Yeah, bums and junkies washing there.
(30:19):
They're junk in the Starbucks sink, causing the downfall of America. Disgusting.
It's time for playing talk. Let me you're dancing around
the topic. See move o. God, I saw it coming
from a kilometer away. You see that's just not good. Oh.
(30:41):
In the wake of the No Kings rally, which I
want to talk about more next hour. Uh, the most
impactful thing you can do today. Look at that. It's
an email from Team d NC to us Jack Team election.
A day is just weeks away on November fourth. What
that's an awful off your election? What kind of America
(31:01):
do you want to wake up to on November fifth?
Donald Trump will be hoping for good news. He wants
to flip the new Jersey governor's mansion. He wants California's
districting amendment to fail. He wants MAGA Republicans to take
control of Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Here at the DNC, we
don't plan on letting that happen. But team we need
your help and here's the most impactful thing you can do.
Send the money. Of course, that's thanks your contribution. That's
(31:24):
the big Prop fifty in California redistricting, trying to take
on Texas thing. We'll see how that turns out. We
had got a note from a person in the know
who said the no on fifty people have canceled all
their ads. It's going to pass. The California will become
even more blue. What that's how they interpreted that. Behind
the scenes of most attest to its Veracid, the most
(31:47):
recent polling, and there hasn't been a lot. Was like
two thirds of Californians were saying, including sixty percent of Democrats,
were against it. But the hatred of Trump has settled in. Well. Well, No,
in an off off year election, turnout is spectacularly low,
and they will turn out every single public employee union
(32:09):
member and public employee adjacent union like the nurses, for instance,
and they will vote for it. In their internal polling
says it'll pass, which has nothing to do with what
most Californias think because most Californians aren't going to vote correct. Yeah, okay, yeah,
it's a concentrated special interest wins lots of elections over
(32:30):
a generalized general interest, gives us. The generalized general interest
hasn't been given marching orders to show up that they
know they have to do. Anyway, that's why California is
so corrupt. Anyway, let's move on from that. Let's see
caxpat happy and Idaho right, and this is delightful, guys.
(32:50):
Topic last week about dressing dead bodies into the sounds
they can make brought back a memory I retired from
a large fire department. One day we had a call
for a well, being check, we found these subjects slumped
over a chair with the needle still in her arm
and obviously dead from an OD. While waiting for the corner,
my boss said to sit the subject up, and when
I did, the sound of air escaping the body let
(33:12):
out a very loud moan, which scared the crap out
of me and the other new guy. My boss laughed
his ass off. Wow, he that would freak you out. Yeah. Ah,
the lighter side of drug ods. See, do we have
time for that? It's pretty serious. This is an interesting
(33:33):
question though, from a confused Jim. Guys, I don't understand
your position on the race to the bottom when it
comes to one side prosecuting the other law fair and
similar topics. For years, it's only been one side, and
as soon as the other side does it, we're in
a race to the bottom. One side can't just continue
sitting on their hands while the other gets away with
(33:55):
attacking the other. At some point one side will stop
because they know the other will just do the same.
But having one side sitting on their hands, it will continue.
I think that's a pretty generous reading that both sides
do where they think the other side has always done it.
We've never fought back. We're finally going to. That's just
not accurate. I just don't think that's accurate. We've been
tit for tat one rung on the ladder, going downhill,
(34:17):
both sides. In terms of breaking norms for a very
long time. I think the speed of the downward slide
has increased or oh no kidding, Yeah norms? What norms?
Speaker 7 (34:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Where does it end? Eh? Probably nowhere? Good. So how
did China get a strangle hold on the rare earths?
And what can we do about it as a country.
It's going to take a little bit of creativity and
departing from some of our principles, and man have just decided,
I ain't Dayton any of y'all heterosexual month? Why is
(34:51):
that an interesting column about that? We'll get to at
some point. If you missed a segment, get the podcast
