Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jack Katy and he arms Drawn. I'm from studio C
(00:37):
see you are.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
We're in a dimly lit room deep it from the
bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Commutigations compound.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's Wednesday home Days.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We have a camel in here, which is uh. It
was fun at first, but it's become my least favorite
day of the week.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Having the camel in the studio give me away from
the microphones I got.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I got the business end of camel in my face
while I'm trying to Donald Oh boy anyway, And today
we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Let's be serious.
It's not what's his Face back on TV? Yeah, it's
the Kremlin, openly defiant and mocking Trump. I am shocked
(01:22):
by news outlets that have made the return of What's
his Face the number one story. When Donald Trump announced
yesterday Ukraine's getting all their land back and Russia's in No,
you ain't. That seems like quite a bit bigger a
story to me. The whole First Amendment angle is super
(01:43):
interesting and I want to talk about sure.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
On the other hand, old, what's his face? And his
travails will be forgotten soon, very soon. Yeah, whereas the
warfare in Europe, NATO's involvement, Putin's real goals would wherever
they are, et cetera, they will echo through history.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think you could see the look on Zelensky's face.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
He seemed to be thinking what a lot of people
when I saw the headline come across the alert come
across my phone. Trump says Ukraine should get all of
their land back and vows to help the.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What what what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Holy crap.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
That was in addition to the fact when he was
asked sitting down yesterday, should NATO shoot down Russian planes
from the violat airspace? Yes, next question, I mean, yeah,
that was a that's something too. That was not a
Joe Biden answer.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I wish, I wish an AI simulator or a parallel
universe could show me how Kamala Harris would have answered
that question.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I don't know if your believers, folks, but it had
to be the hand of God or something that kept
her out.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Of the White House. I mean can you imagine that, lunkhead?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean, Trump is mercurial and unpredictable and half nuts
have time, but I mean at least he's resolute. We've
got more of this more Kamala Harris later, but she
Mark Halprin's been doing such a great job on his
YouTube show about it.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Very entertaining. But anyway, he played.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
One clip and he said, can I get a light
vinaigrette with that? I thought that, Well, I've seen I've
enjoyed many terrific headlines among them thoughts like Kamala Harris
reminds us why we.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Didn't vote for her. Yes, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So getting back to the Russia thing though briefly, and
there isn't much humor to be found here, but there's
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, My favorite back and forth is Donald Trump said
essentially that they've that the Russian military is a paper tiger.
They've been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years. Well,
the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said, Russia is in the
way tiger. Still Russia more compared with bear. There are
(03:55):
no paper bears. Your face is a paper bear. You're
paper bear?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Right? Yeah? What he said, there are no there are
no paper bears.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So David Ignatius writes in the Washington Post today, and
he's one of the best thinkers and the most connected
people on these topics, with sources in the Pentagon, in
the White House, he wrote, And I thought this was interesting.
He said, nobody senses weakness and an opponent better than
Donald Trump. That's one of the things he does well,
(04:28):
and what their weak spot is.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And he thinks, both from a personality standpoint and from
a military and economic standpoint, that Russia is very weak
and that a strong pushback against them could cause them
to really be hurting. So that's pretty interesting. And he
thought some of that was based on, you know, we
have the best intelligence in the world, and our intelligence
showing us that the military is close to collapse and
(04:51):
their economy is close to collapse. Yeah, which is basically
what the definition of a paper tiger is when you're
talking about a country, right.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Right, Yeah, paper bear.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Anyway, Yeah, and Peskov wasn't the only one in mouth off.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
What else.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
The outspoken former Russian president Dmitri Medvedyev mocked Trump's new position,
saying he had been given a dose of quote alternative
reality and noted his off changing views on the conflict, quote,
I have no doubt he will come back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He always comes back.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
The main thing is to radically change your point of
view on various issues more often, and everything will be fine.
That's the essence of successful government through social media, which
is a pretty good shot.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, but you might want to contact some of your
late friends in Tehran who no longer exist. That there
is a limit and sometimes Trump does follow through on
his threats at some point with a whistle from the sky.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
The head of the Russian English language state news channel
RT dismissed the president's support for Zelensky is that of
a carnival hawks quote. Trump debuts as a tarot card
reader telling the thrice divorced lady that she is going
to meet that billionaire prince after all, as long as
she buys the magic crystals. She wrote on X Wow.
So they are openly mocking the president. Yeah. So I
(06:17):
was watching MSNBC and that Joe Scarborough was asking and
nobody had an answer.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Why would they openly taunt a guy that one is
easily butt hurt. Two has been like laying out literally
that's about to say, laying out the red carpet, literally
laid out the red carpet for Putin?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Why taunt him and poke him? What's I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
The story of the last several weeks, everybody has figured
out you need to flatter Donald Trump to get what
you want, and that's what everybody does to European leader.
Why does Putin going the opposite direction? What does he
think he's going to get out of that?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I have thought long, in a heart about that question, Jack,
and the only thing I can come up with is
either Putin wants to provoke Trump into doing something that
will be condemned worldwide and thereby weaken Trump's standing like
what which that's remote, that's I don't know, I don't know,
(07:10):
attack Kurkutsk or something I don't I don't know. The
other possibility is he wants war with NATO and or
a nuclear war.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, that would suck. That would suck.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think we can all agree on that, even old
what's his face, the comedian fella who's back on the air,
I'm told I think he would agree that would suck.
That can't be though, but that it's an incredibly intriguing question. Well,
I mean they could flatter and lie. That's what they've
been doing and stringing the president along like they do
(07:45):
everybody else. Will they grab inches of territory at the
costs of hundreds of lives? What does defiance and mockery
get them? I can't imagine. I can't imagine. And you
know you were reading from RT their media, their press
or whatever. They're not printing anything without Putin's approval. Oh no,
(08:08):
that's state media. Yeah, yeah, that's just it's hard to
figure out what's going on there. That might be the
scariest part of it all is that that does not
make sense. Why would you taunt Donald Trump? And it's
a Sam Harrow card reader telling the thrice divorced ladies
she's going to meet that billionaire prince after all, as
long as she buys the magic crystals.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
On the other hand, what could Trump possibly mean about
Ukraine's going to get all its land back?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
All of its land back? A fifth of it is
currently controlled by Russia. Well, and some of it was
taken in twenty fourteen?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Does it mean out? Does he mean crimea too?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Even if we say even if we think he doesn't
mean crimea, crimea off the table. But the rest of it,
it's still that would be a heck of a chore.
I mean, we'd have to give them NATO. We and
NATO would have to give Ukraine some serious weaponry and
lots of money.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well and uh, Mike, the attorney from Chicago just sent
me a picture of a brown Origami bear. So there
are paper bears. So the Kremlin is lied once again, there.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Are no paper bears. What a nod thing to say.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, it's it's it's a heck of a thing. It's
definitely the news of the day. It should be the
news of the day for the world, for planet Earth II.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Karumba, fans of uncertainty, you've got to really been enjoying
yourselves these days.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But again, the most confusing part of it is why
Putin would think insulting Trump and his family could possibly
be a good idea. Anyway, It's it just that that
worries me that he does want a big war with NATO,
which would be horrifying obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
All right, I thought of.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
One more theory, and certainly if you have a good
one mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, we
could maybe even feature it in male bag coming up
in a couple of minutes or text four one five
two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The other theory is.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
As Trump is somewhat mercurial and a unique bird to
say the least, is the Kremlin trying to weaken support
among Europeans, to shake the people and leadership of Europe
pointing out that Trump is mercurial and has completely about
(10:28):
faced all of a sudden, and that he shouldn't cast
you a lot with this guy. He'll turn his back
on you as quick as he'll turn towards you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Just I'm thinking out.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Loud from everything I've read in the last twenty fo hours,
that ain't gonna work. Because Zelensky was thrilled, so Macron
was thrilled. Starmer was thrilled. These people they weren't like,
oh no, this shows him to be mercurial. This was Yes,
finally he's on our side.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Macron hasn't been that thrilled since his old teacher invited
him to colabor racers after class, if you know what
I mean, or since the crosswalk guard told him he
could cross the stre eat in New York. The real president,
the president that matters, has gone through. You can cross now.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You gotta wait. The real president's coming through. We that's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We got to start the show officially for certain. How
about the guy who tried to kill Trump stabbing himself
in the neck with a pen last yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's quite the story. Go ahead, Yeah, why stop him?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't understand when somebody who's been just convicted of
trying to murder the president tries to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You gotta intervened. Yeah, we'll be. We're gonna go eat lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We'll come back and see how you're doing with the
pen in about an hour, boy Staddy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yes, Michael, that pen's gonna be a collector's item. Now,
that's true. It should be on eBay. Ah. Yeah, you're
always thinking, Michael, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on
this It is Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Can't swhy the camel's in the studio September twenty fourth,
the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong in getting we
approve of this program.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Here we go then officially according de FCC rules, the regulations.
Mister Carr, Brendon Carr, please don't come after us.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
We beg you. Here we go, at Mark, do you.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if
they enter their airspace?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, would you back them up with the United States
help them out in some way?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Depends on the circumstance. But you know we're very strong
towards NATO. Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I do you realize these sorts of back and forth,
way short of what happened yesterday used to rattle the
world during the Cold War. Well, it's the same two
countries with the same nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeahs back then? Yeah? Does the camel eat prunes? What
is going on in here? God?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
A lot of fiber. Camel's eat a lot of fiber
there is You would beat his regular zim, you would
improve your diet.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
We've got Katie's headlines on the way, a lot more
news for you. I hope you can stay here. Are strong,
he getty.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
As I said yesterday, I thought Kimmel was going to
be insufferable. I wasn't looking forward to hearing clips. Everybody's
playing the same Jimmy Kimmel clips. Nobody is playing Bye
to my mind, clearly the most dramatic part. Nobody's playing it.
I haven't seen it or heard it anywhere. I've only
read it. And why is nobody playing that clip anyway.
(13:14):
We'll play that clip for you coming up next segment. Yeah,
I got a handful of quote unquote highlights. I also
have a surprising and contrarian view of the whole thing
that will shock and outrage most of the listening audience
and drive you away from the show for good.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So stay tuned for that.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, just to fill in the tease, I think this
makes it more interesting. He declares himself a follower of
Jesus Christ while crying. That is hella dramatic. And nobody
is playing that clip.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nobody. It's uncomfortable. It doesn't fit in there, right, abstraction.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't think Hollywood wants that on the air or something.
I find that very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Certainly lefty journalists don't. They have no interest in it.
All right, so much to talk about. Let's figure out
who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Grey
and Katie all.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Right, thank you guys. This is the big one and
you touched it.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Last segment the Hill, Trump says NATO country should shoot
down Russian planes if they.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Enter their airspace. This sort of talk during the Cold
War was earthshaking whenever it happened. There are books written
about these moments.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Now it happens, and everybody's like, Eh, Jimmy Kimble's back
on to hear that.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well, And what a contrast from the Biden days when
Chinese spy balloons could float over the Heartland for weeks
at a time and he was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Thinking, I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
From Fox News, Google to reinstate banned YouTube accounts that
were censored for political.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Speech justin I need to talk about that absolutely, a
directly related story to the Jimmy Kimmel deal.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
From ABC, Kamala Harris admits she was quote reckless and
not challenging Biden's decision to run for reelection.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
She isn't admitting anything.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I can't wait to read Mark Halpern's review of her
appear pearances so far. What he's calling a disastrous rollout
of a book.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, I would agree with that, but I've been enjoying
it more than anything since I don't know, maybe the
Master's last Spring.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm enjoying the hell out of her media tour.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
From NBC, officials warned that extremists are using discord to
recruit American youth.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, I'm like, I've been sitting on this article about
the FBI warning parents about nihilists, essentially recruiting their songs
to this hateful nothing matters.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You ought to go hurt somebody.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Ideology from Breitbart dot com. Pregnant liberal women post videos
of themselves doubting Thailand all.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
To own Trump. That does not surprise me.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Tailand all will become like the mask if you're if
you like Trump, you won't use Thailand all anymore. Even
if you feel fine, you'll take Thailand all every day
to show how much you hate Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The world has become too stupid. I'm checking out. Goodbye
everyone from.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The Associate Eating of Nihilists.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
From the Associated Press.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Major League Baseball will use robot umpires starting in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I can't wait to hear more about this.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, it's just it's the electric you know, sensor balls
of strikes that they've had in the miners for a
while coming to the major leagues.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
From study fines eat more way less men are shedding
pounds in six weeks by replacing most.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Meat with beans. Beans. What kind of beans? All the beans, all.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The beans, all the different beans, your bean beans? Last
night myself and I'm down two tenths of a pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
See it works, I weighed myself.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And finally from the Babylon Bee genius, Trump enacts plan
to dumb down Chinese population by inviting them to attend
American University.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, yeah, well played.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And I hope China is not involved in any of
the putin stuff, that there's no strategy going on. And
we got to follow up on that big phone server
that China, Russia, Iran somebody put in New York was
gonna shut down the whole cell phone service for some reason,
a state actor according to the Secret Service. We got
lots to talk about today, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
N Anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted,
if you're just joining us, we are preempting your regularly
scheduled encore episode of Celebrity Family Feud to bring you
this special report. I'm happy to be here tonight with you.
(17:59):
I'm not sure at a weird forty eight hours me
or the CEO of.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Tile at all.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I that's funny. I've already thrown up three times and
that's all I've heard of him. Oh my, I care
so little about this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The free free speech tough huge, definitely a real conversation
and all that. Oh Gavin was on Late Night with Colbert.
I didn't realize that. Oh yes, oh, and he said
some stuff that is so horrible, low delicious.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But back to Kimmel, I just there's so many things
about this to hate. First of you, he's a smug
a hole, he just is. Yeah, and uh, he hates
you unless you're his politics. He hates you and thinks
you're stupid, so screw him. Oh he's utterly contemptuous of you.
Yes that's correct, Yeah, yeah he is. And he gets
like a million viewers a night, like six hundred thousand
(18:54):
in demo. Why do these shows get so much attention?
I do not understand to the legacy of Johnny Carson,
it's not earned significant. Before we get to the clip
that I'm as not getting played, well, it's up to Joe.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't need to hear any more from this. It's
it's way overblown.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I don't freaking care, but I do want to play
the one clip that nobody else is playing. But I
wanted to read this analysis from Mark Halprin, which I
thought was really interesting because Kimmel comes out, does this
thing gets treated like I get my analysis at some point,
of course, but Kimmel comes out, gets his standing ovation
and treated like a returning war hero or whatever, and
(19:35):
everybody goes gaga. To one side, Kima was a defiant
hero standing up to a bullying president. To the other,
he was a smug Hollywood elitist refusing to apologize for
mocking a tragedy. That is the real takeaway. The episode
was not a turning point, not a resolution, but another
marker and a period of ever increasing division. The standing
ovations in the studio were genuine, but outside those walls,
(19:56):
the applause sounded very different. Kimil got his redemption, ARC
Disney got it streaming bump, Trump got its spoil but
the country country remained where it was, split, bruise, bewildered,
embracing for what comes next.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Right right, I would agree that's some good analysis. So
here's here's my take, and I'm going to start with
The New York Post has collected a bunch of what
I think I'm supposed to say, reactions from various conservative
people about crocodile tears. Look at Jimmy the Martyr, Kimmel,
fake crying, tonight, deny attack, reverse victim, and offender Darvo playbook.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Said Charlie Kirk's friend jacksoviec and typical leftist fashioned Jimmy
makes the victim himself, who's a Dana Losh says no apologies,
he wasn't making a Jokey outright lied about the killer
because he hated the politics of the victim. Jimmy Kimmel
can pound sand. Let's see, you lied about the Maga gang.
You lied about what happened. You definitely intended to.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Make light of it. Blah blah blah, said Scott Jennings.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Ex pathetic blah blah blah, and several more things of
that sort. All of those takes and opinions are absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And I agree with them completely. Here's the crappy part
about that. Though the First Amendment question is extremely important,
extremely Jimmy Kimmel being an a hole doesn't matter. Two consecutive,
four consecutive administrations going as far as they can to
(21:30):
limit free speech if they don't like it, that's no good,
that's horrible. It's an American. I agreed with virtually everything
Jimmy Kimmel said about the First Amendment last night.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
One hundred percent, and he's an a hole.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He reminds me of none other than Ernesto Miranda of
the Miranda Warnings, who was a raping, kidnapping scumbag who
rotted in prison precisely where he deserved to be. And
Americans ought to be reminded of the rights when they
get arrested.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Those two things are.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Both true, and they're called Miranda rights because of that case.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Right, that was exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, the uh Jimmy Kimmel's he sees it's an awful
human being and smug ignoramus and the chairman of the
FCC and the President himself saying people who don't agree
with me or pissed me off or accurate ought to
be taken off the air. That sucks and I will
never ever support that from either administration, either party, or
(22:33):
if some third party emerges in days to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Come, I will hate that too, Amen, and of rant.
So I think it's interesting that every news I'm sorry
one more thought, Hey Democrats, what are the f for you?
When your guys were doing exactly the same thing?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So please save me your righteous igdignation, you lying hypocrites.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Now that's the endime I've.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Seen a lot of those the uh, the comments from
people when Tucker got booted, Well, there are limits to
what you can say on the air versus what the
things they're saying when Kimmel got booted.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Briefly and all this.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Skills YouTube now say, all those accounts that we banned
during COVID for telling the truth, well the administration made
us do it. You can have your account back. Oh,
there's there was some principle.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I can't believe that he gets away with kim Will
gets away with saying what he said and he doesn't
even have to take it back.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Because that was a ridiculously dumb thing to say. Oh yeah, anyway,
this part is not being played by anyone, and I
thought it was the most dramatic part of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They're like a.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Moment over the weekend, a very beautiful moment. I don't
know if you saw this on Sunday, Erica Kirk forgave
the man who shot her husband. She forgave him. That
is an example we should follow. Yeah, if you believe
in the teaching of Jesus as I do. There it
(24:03):
was that's that's it, a selfless act of grace forgiveness.
From a grieving widow. It touched me deeply.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And I hope that it touches learning and.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
If there's anything we should take from this tragedy to
carry forward, I hope it can be that and not this.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So you know a lot of people claim those were
crocodile tears, et cetera. I actually think he was sincere,
completely sincere. Jimmy Kimmel's not a monster.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's a fool.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Do you think he's a He's a follower of Jesus
who that's a part of his life in his mind
it is. I didn't say he's wise or smart or right,
just that he was sincere.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He thinks he is. Why do you think is a fool?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
How about Why do you think nobody's playing that part?
I haven't heard that clip anywhere?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Because Christianity is evil and white supremacist or something something
I learned in social classes in college. Every other religion
is to be revered as beautiful and sacred and should
not be described.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I think it might be on the progressive left.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I think it might be as much as because he
said something nice about Charlie Kirk's wife.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
They don't want that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
They don't like that yeah, so I'll leave that part out. Yeah,
we're pressed for time, we can't. We'll leave out clearly
the most dramatic part of his speech last night, clearly
the most dramatic part to me. He praises Erica Trump
for being a follower of Christ and we should all
emulate her. And there nobody Erica Kirk. Sorry, and nobody's
playing that because you just want it to be one
(25:46):
hundred percent defiant of Trump and all those people and
the evil Kirk who is actually a racist, don't you
know that.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I just I hate the way we do things now.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I hate it, even as much as I think Jimmy
Kimmel's an a hole. And lots of people say behind
the scenes he's a nice guy. He's a nice guy
if you agree with him. He is Joseid contemptuous of
half the country. He thinks you're a moron. Yeah, so
if you think I'm a moron, I don't have to
like you. I don't care how nice you are.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To other people.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
But he says something nice about their enemy, and that
clip doesn't make the highlights for anyone, just the defiant
against Trump stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I hate everything we do now, And there have been
a number of voices on the right saying the right
things about free speech, and we've we've mentioned some of them,
but I don't know you do. You all are gonna
do what you want, you should, But commentators who are
merely blasting Jimmy Kimmel for as many character flaws and
(26:49):
not taking a moment to think about the First Amendment
implications and how you've got to be consistent on this
stuff or we will lose it, you know, shop for
your ideas. You know, accordingly, it's okay to censor if
it's there. Guys, No, oh my god, if you don't
know where that road leads, well, there's no help in you.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, so, like I'm thinking, like one percent of the
country watches him through broadcast airwaves. If you took away
that one percent the rest of them, there's no free
speech involved in the in the UH there's no FCC
control over screaming or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So you couldn't threaten it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, well, no, I disagree, just because it's one one
company that owns the right to put him as a
product on all of those platforms, and if you take
away one of them, then he's no longer profitable enough period.
I just the FCC commissioner ought to shut his by hole.
Trump ought to stop Well, I would just well, I
(27:50):
agree with that hum percent. I just think it's going
to be completely moot in like five years. We're down
to we're down to like six people in the country
watching anything through broad gast airwaves.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So the FCC will have no role in any of that.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
But given the media landscape, the fact that because of
over regulation which Democrats have ushered into being mostly you
need the president to put his anointing oil on your
merger for renting oil, or the FTC, the Federal Trade
Commission or the Justice Department or who the hell ever
(28:25):
else will say, na, we're gonna make it real tough
for you unless you kiss our ring and beg us
rent seeking we call it in economics.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
All of it sucks.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
There was another interesting point from just a business standpoint
that was made, but I'll tell you about that right
after this from Simply Safe. I like to pull out
of my driveway and I give my little salute to
the simply Safe sign that I got in the yard
that lets me know and everyone know that I got
all that protection in my home. I got the cameras,
I got the censors, I got to everything. And what's
(28:57):
so different about simply Safe.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well, there's a lot of stuff that's different, but one
of the primary things is instead of the old systems
that an alarm goes off after somebody's already smashed into
your house and taken your stuff, simply Safe is proactive.
They use smart AI powered cameras to identify threats lurking
outside your home and immediately alert simply Safe professional monitoring
agents who can interven and intervene in real time before
(29:19):
the break in even begins.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So here's my question, why wouldn't you try it? It's
super easy to set up. That's part of the whole
Simply Safe name sixty day money back guarantee, no long
term contracts. Simply Safe earns your business every day, keeping
you safe and satisfied every day. Visit simply safe dot
com slash armstrong. You get fifty percent off your new system.
That's simplysafe dot com slash armstrong use that code.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Please. There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
So one of the business analyzes of this whole thing
was not very many years ago. The two biggest distributors
of a network show saying we're not airing it would
have been the.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
End of the show.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Absolutely, not even a question Sinclair and whatever that other
one saying that they weren't gonna Eric Kimmel, that would
have been the end of the show. But everything has
changed so much, so fast, and there's so few people
that get there shows that way anymore. Anyway, it didn't matter,
and the people at Disney and I had thought about this,
but clearly true. They love the Anything that hurts network
(30:22):
out there and drives stuff to the streaming contracts is
a plus for them.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They want that.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
They want you to get your antenna down off the
roof and sign up for Hulu Disney. That's what they want.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
To have happened.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
So wow, true, absolutely, that's just the changing world that
we live in. I hope I don't hear another word
about Jimmy Kimmel in my life. Who flipping cares what
he thinks about anything? I do care about free speech.
I don't care about Jimmy Kimmel. I wonder what his
ratings were last night. I'm sure that will come out.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Uh slightly higher. For a few days.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
It could have tripled it and it would have been
three million people across the whole country.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, and give it four, five, six days, and people
will be reminded why they didn't watch.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
In the first place. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
We got mail bag on the way, We got a
whole bunch of stuff. We got to read the whole Dang. Well,
I don't know if we can read the whole thing?
Is too long?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
A truth?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Social posts that Trump put out yesterday about Ukraine getting
all their territory back.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
What does that that all mean? It could be very
very huge.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Tell you that anyways, stick around. Zelenski, speaking at the
UN just said we're in the most destructive arms race
in human history.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That might actually be true. Oh yeah, I think he probably, Yeah,
he's right, you're right. Freedom loving Quote of the Day.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm thinking about legacy and posterity in the wake of
the assassination of young Charlie Kirk and his message and
how it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
May continue on and even greater than when he was alive.
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
This is from the American writer Edward Abbey, whose work
I don't really know, but I like this quote. Those
who have no sense of posterity or any concern for
future generations are the ones who are really dead. I
mean they are dead right now walking zombies. Hmm, interesting thought,
mail bag.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't like the way I'm dressed today. You ever
have that happen?
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Do you get dressed and you look at yourself in
the mirror and think, I just do not like this
and it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It seems like a good idea in the closet.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I didn't have time to change, and now I just
gotta walk around looking like a homeless person or a
high school kid all day long.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't know if I'd go that far. Are your
casual comfortable? Drops a note mail bag at Armstrong E
Geddy dot com. Let's see. We'll begin here and then
move on. It's Neil in beautiful Hanford, California.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Bull ass Joe. Jimmy Kimmel is a suck up a hole.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Nothing he said last night was sincere, but thank you
for watching so I didn't have to. And this from
Ed appreciate what you said about Kimmel's show yesterday.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
He gives the middle finger every night to half the country.
His non apology apology was a disgrace than this from
side Joe, Bob. I'm much more concerned about the president
proclaiming hate for half the country than a late night
hack doing the same, and that's probably enough.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Does it make sense to.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Mock the idea that anybody thinks it wasn't the Maga
that killed him, and you're so touched by her speech
and forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I don't know if those two things fit together. Uh yeah, right.
I like this one guy whose name I don't know. Oh,
he was Andrew KOLFDD. He's an executive producer of The
Charlie Kirk Show and a friend. He said, Jimmy, it's simple.
I'm sorry for saying the shooter was Maga.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He was not.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He was of the left. I apologized to the Kirk
family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will
do better.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I was wrong, yes, because you said to that woman
last night and now I'm getting fired up. So you said,
Erica Kirkshie said an example we should all follow. I'm
a Christian and we're both following Jesus and he forgave
him and she's so wonderful and everything like that. You
said that her husband and father, the children were killed
by people that he had been talking to, that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Had recruited that he had that he had created this
situation thereby deserving it exactly. That's what you said, Jimmy Kimmel, Right,
you lie in a hole. And that's again, he's not
an evil genius, He's a fool. He's a jackass. Moving
along what was Putin's thinking? Robin Walnut Creek writes Jack Joe.
(34:34):
The multi year meat grinders greatly exhausted the supply of
Russian conscripts, with Putin resorting to North Korea as a
stopgap to provide more cannon fodder. Iran is a shell
of itself and not in a place to help. It's
only remaining allies China, who to date has provided indirect
support of weapons supplies and intelligence. Why would he want
a war against NATO? Maybe because it's to pull China
(34:54):
in for direct support. He believes Russia plus China against
NATO would provide better odds than the current stalemate.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Welcome to World War three.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And that's what I said. That's why I said what
I said like twenty minutes ago. I hope China is
involved in this calculation.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, I don't know if that would work anyway. China
and Rush our frenemies never forget that, and they can
be a formidable force together, but there's a high level
of mistrust there. And finally, RFK Anonymous writes, first of all, Michael,
well done. When Jack was telling his bear story, playing
the classic Dennis green Cliff, the bears are who he
(35:29):
thought they were, his email topic is actually you want
to crown Michael, crown him, which is.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
A less remembered part of that rant.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
But then he said, I was so disillusioned learning that
Jack was not mad enough to fight a bear in
his underwear. I was sure that the story would end
with our hero Jack and Henry taking the bear carcass
off the roof of the car and leaving it in
Golden Gate Park on the bike path next to the
old bike Jack always keeps in the car. Oh go
(35:58):
full RFK bear carcass humor.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Come on, I should have been rolling around in the
campground in my underwear fighting the bear. You're absolutely right
to save my Coleman cooler that costs twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yes, yes, if you were a man, you would have.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
We also got a great email about fake Russian slash
Ukrainian brides. You owe us an update on your romance
with the Ukrainian honey that's right.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I have an update on my Ukrainian girlfriend. Yes, we
got a lot on the way. I hope you can
stay here. If you miss a segment, get the podcast
Armstrong and Getty on demand
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and
Jack Katy and he arms Drawn. I'm from studio C
(00:37):
see you are.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
We're in a dimly lit room deep it from the
bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Commutigations compound.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's Wednesday home Days.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We have a camel in here, which is uh. It
was fun at first, but it's become my least favorite
day of the week.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Having the camel in the studio give me away from
the microphones I got.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I got the business end of camel in my face
while I'm trying to Donald Oh boy anyway, And today
we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Let's be serious.
It's not what's his Face back on TV? Yeah, it's
the Kremlin, openly defiant and mocking Trump. I am shocked
(01:22):
by news outlets that have made the return of What's
his Face the number one story. When Donald Trump announced
yesterday Ukraine's getting all their land back and Russia's in No,
you ain't. That seems like quite a bit bigger a
story to me. The whole First Amendment angle is super
(01:43):
interesting and I want to talk about sure.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
On the other hand, old, what's his face? And his
travails will be forgotten soon, very soon. Yeah, whereas the
warfare in Europe, NATO's involvement, Putin's real goals would wherever
they are, et cetera, they will echo through history.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think you could see the look on Zelensky's face.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
He seemed to be thinking what a lot of people
when I saw the headline come across the alert come
across my phone. Trump says Ukraine should get all of
their land back and vows to help the.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What what what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Holy crap.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
That was in addition to the fact when he was
asked sitting down yesterday, should NATO shoot down Russian planes
from the violat airspace? Yes, next question, I mean, yeah,
that was a that's something too. That was not a
Joe Biden answer.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I wish, I wish an AI simulator or a parallel
universe could show me how Kamala Harris would have answered
that question.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I don't know if your believers, folks, but it had
to be the hand of God or something that kept
her out.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Of the White House. I mean can you imagine that, lunkhead?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean, Trump is mercurial and unpredictable and half nuts
have time, but I mean at least he's resolute. We've
got more of this more Kamala Harris later, but she
Mark Halprin's been doing such a great job on his
YouTube show about it.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Very entertaining. But anyway, he played.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
One clip and he said, can I get a light
vinaigrette with that? I thought that, Well, I've seen I've
enjoyed many terrific headlines among them thoughts like Kamala Harris
reminds us why we.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Didn't vote for her. Yes, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So getting back to the Russia thing though briefly, and
there isn't much humor to be found here, but there's
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yes, My favorite back and forth is Donald Trump said
essentially that they've that the Russian military is a paper tiger.
They've been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years. Well,
the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said, Russia is in the
way tiger. Still Russia more compared with bear. There are
(03:55):
no paper bears. Your face is a paper bear. You're
paper bear?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Right? Yeah? What he said, there are no there are
no paper bears.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So David Ignatius writes in the Washington Post today, and
he's one of the best thinkers and the most connected
people on these topics, with sources in the Pentagon, in
the White House, he wrote, And I thought this was interesting.
He said, nobody senses weakness and an opponent better than
Donald Trump. That's one of the things he does well,
(04:28):
and what their weak spot is.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And he thinks, both from a personality standpoint and from
a military and economic standpoint, that Russia is very weak
and that a strong pushback against them could cause them
to really be hurting. So that's pretty interesting. And he
thought some of that was based on, you know, we
have the best intelligence in the world, and our intelligence
showing us that the military is close to collapse and
(04:51):
their economy is close to collapse. Yeah, which is basically
what the definition of a paper tiger is when you're
talking about a country, right.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Right, Yeah, paper bear.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Anyway, Yeah, and Peskov wasn't the only one in mouth off.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
What else.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
The outspoken former Russian president Dmitri Medvedyev mocked Trump's new position,
saying he had been given a dose of quote alternative
reality and noted his off changing views on the conflict, quote,
I have no doubt he will come back.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
He always comes back.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
The main thing is to radically change your point of
view on various issues more often, and everything will be fine.
That's the essence of successful government through social media, which
is a pretty good shot.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, but you might want to contact some of your
late friends in Tehran who no longer exist. That there
is a limit and sometimes Trump does follow through on
his threats at some point with a whistle from the sky.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
The head of the Russian English language state news channel
RT dismissed the president's support for Zelensky is that of
a carnival hawks quote. Trump debuts as a tarot card
reader telling the thrice divorced lady that she is going
to meet that billionaire prince after all, as long as
she buys the magic crystals. She wrote on X Wow.
So they are openly mocking the president. Yeah. So I
(06:17):
was watching MSNBC and that Joe Scarborough was asking and
nobody had an answer.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Why would they openly taunt a guy that one is
easily butt hurt. Two has been like laying out literally
that's about to say, laying out the red carpet, literally
laid out the red carpet for Putin?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Why taunt him and poke him? What's I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
The story of the last several weeks, everybody has figured
out you need to flatter Donald Trump to get what
you want, and that's what everybody does to European leader.
Why does Putin going the opposite direction? What does he
think he's going to get out of that?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I have thought long, in a heart about that question, Jack,
and the only thing I can come up with is
either Putin wants to provoke Trump into doing something that
will be condemned worldwide and thereby weaken Trump's standing like
what which that's remote, that's I don't know, I don't know,
(07:10):
attack Kurkutsk or something I don't I don't know. The
other possibility is he wants war with NATO and or
a nuclear war.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, that would suck. That would suck.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think we can all agree on that, even old
what's his face, the comedian fella who's back on the air,
I'm told I think he would agree that would suck.
That can't be though, but that it's an incredibly intriguing question. Well,
I mean they could flatter and lie. That's what they've
been doing and stringing the president along like they do
(07:45):
everybody else. Will they grab inches of territory at the
costs of hundreds of lives? What does defiance and mockery
get them? I can't imagine. I can't imagine. And you
know you were reading from RT their media, their press
or whatever. They're not printing anything without Putin's approval. Oh no,
(08:08):
that's state media. Yeah, yeah, that's just it's hard to
figure out what's going on there. That might be the
scariest part of it all is that that does not
make sense. Why would you taunt Donald Trump? And it's
a Sam Harrow card reader telling the thrice divorced ladies
she's going to meet that billionaire prince after all, as
long as she buys the magic crystals.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
On the other hand, what could Trump possibly mean about
Ukraine's going to get all its land back?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
All of its land back? A fifth of it is
currently controlled by Russia. Well, and some of it was
taken in twenty fourteen?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Does it mean out? Does he mean crimea too?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Even if we say even if we think he doesn't
mean crimea, crimea off the table. But the rest of it,
it's still that would be a heck of a chore.
I mean, we'd have to give them NATO. We and
NATO would have to give Ukraine some serious weaponry and
lots of money.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well and uh, Mike, the attorney from Chicago just sent
me a picture of a brown Origami bear. So there
are paper bears. So the Kremlin is lied once again, there.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Are no paper bears. What a nod thing to say.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, it's it's it's a heck of a thing. It's
definitely the news of the day. It should be the
news of the day for the world, for planet Earth II.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Karumba, fans of uncertainty, you've got to really been enjoying
yourselves these days.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
But again, the most confusing part of it is why
Putin would think insulting Trump and his family could possibly
be a good idea. Anyway, It's it just that that
worries me that he does want a big war with NATO,
which would be horrifying obviously.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
All right, I thought of.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
One more theory, and certainly if you have a good
one mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, we
could maybe even feature it in male bag coming up
in a couple of minutes or text four one five
two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
The other theory is.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
As Trump is somewhat mercurial and a unique bird to
say the least, is the Kremlin trying to weaken support
among Europeans, to shake the people and leadership of Europe
pointing out that Trump is mercurial and has completely about
(10:28):
faced all of a sudden, and that he shouldn't cast
you a lot with this guy. He'll turn his back
on you as quick as he'll turn towards you.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Just I'm thinking out.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Loud from everything I've read in the last twenty fo hours,
that ain't gonna work. Because Zelensky was thrilled, so Macron
was thrilled. Starmer was thrilled. These people they weren't like,
oh no, this shows him to be mercurial. This was Yes,
finally he's on our side.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Macron hasn't been that thrilled since his old teacher invited
him to colabor racers after class, if you know what
I mean, or since the crosswalk guard told him he
could cross the stre eat in New York. The real president,
the president that matters, has gone through. You can cross now.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You gotta wait. The real president's coming through. We that's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We got to start the show officially for certain. How
about the guy who tried to kill Trump stabbing himself
in the neck with a pen last yesterday.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's quite the story. Go ahead, Yeah, why stop him?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I don't understand when somebody who's been just convicted of
trying to murder the president tries to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
You gotta intervened. Yeah, we'll be. We're gonna go eat lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We'll come back and see how you're doing with the
pen in about an hour, boy Staddy.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yes, Michael, that pen's gonna be a collector's item. Now,
that's true. It should be on eBay. Ah. Yeah, you're
always thinking, Michael, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on
this It is Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Can't swhy the camel's in the studio September twenty fourth,
the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong in getting we
approve of this program.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Here we go then officially according de FCC rules, the regulations.
Mister Carr, Brendon Carr, please don't come after us.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
We beg you. Here we go, at Mark, do you.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if
they enter their airspace?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, would you back them up with the United States
help them out in some way?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Depends on the circumstance. But you know we're very strong
towards NATO. Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I do you realize these sorts of back and forth,
way short of what happened yesterday used to rattle the
world during the Cold War. Well, it's the same two
countries with the same nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeahs back then? Yeah? Does the camel eat prunes? What
is going on in here? God?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
A lot of fiber. Camel's eat a lot of fiber
there is You would beat his regular zim, you would
improve your diet.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
We've got Katie's headlines on the way, a lot more
news for you. I hope you can stay here. Are strong,
he getty.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
As I said yesterday, I thought Kimmel was going to
be insufferable. I wasn't looking forward to hearing clips. Everybody's
playing the same Jimmy Kimmel clips. Nobody is playing Bye
to my mind, clearly the most dramatic part. Nobody's playing it.
I haven't seen it or heard it anywhere. I've only
read it. And why is nobody playing that clip anyway.
(13:14):
We'll play that clip for you coming up next segment. Yeah,
I got a handful of quote unquote highlights. I also
have a surprising and contrarian view of the whole thing
that will shock and outrage most of the listening audience
and drive you away from the show for good.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So stay tuned for that.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, just to fill in the tease, I think this
makes it more interesting. He declares himself a follower of
Jesus Christ while crying. That is hella dramatic. And nobody
is playing that clip.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nobody. It's uncomfortable. It doesn't fit in there, right, abstraction.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't think Hollywood wants that on the air or something.
I find that very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Certainly lefty journalists don't. They have no interest in it.
All right, so much to talk about. Let's figure out
who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Grey
and Katie all.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Right, thank you guys. This is the big one and
you touched it.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Last segment the Hill, Trump says NATO country should shoot
down Russian planes if they.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Enter their airspace. This sort of talk during the Cold
War was earthshaking whenever it happened. There are books written
about these moments.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Now it happens, and everybody's like, Eh, Jimmy Kimble's back
on to hear that.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well, And what a contrast from the Biden days when
Chinese spy balloons could float over the Heartland for weeks
at a time and he was.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Thinking, I don't know what to do.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
From Fox News, Google to reinstate banned YouTube accounts that
were censored for political.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Speech justin I need to talk about that absolutely, a
directly related story to the Jimmy Kimmel deal.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
From ABC, Kamala Harris admits she was quote reckless and
not challenging Biden's decision to run for reelection.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
She isn't admitting anything.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I can't wait to read Mark Halpern's review of her
appear pearances so far. What he's calling a disastrous rollout
of a book.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, I would agree with that, but I've been enjoying
it more than anything since I don't know, maybe the
Master's last Spring.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm enjoying the hell out of her media tour.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
From NBC, officials warned that extremists are using discord to
recruit American youth.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, I'm like, I've been sitting on this article about
the FBI warning parents about nihilists, essentially recruiting their songs
to this hateful nothing matters.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You ought to go hurt somebody.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Ideology from Breitbart dot com. Pregnant liberal women post videos
of themselves doubting Thailand all.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
To own Trump. That does not surprise me.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Tailand all will become like the mask if you're if
you like Trump, you won't use Thailand all anymore. Even
if you feel fine, you'll take Thailand all every day
to show how much you hate Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The world has become too stupid. I'm checking out. Goodbye
everyone from.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The Associate Eating of Nihilists.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
From the Associated Press.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Major League Baseball will use robot umpires starting in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I can't wait to hear more about this.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, it's just it's the electric you know, sensor balls
of strikes that they've had in the miners for a
while coming to the major leagues.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
From study fines eat more way less men are shedding
pounds in six weeks by replacing most.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Meat with beans. Beans. What kind of beans? All the beans, all.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The beans, all the different beans, your bean beans? Last
night myself and I'm down two tenths of a pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
See it works, I weighed myself.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And finally from the Babylon Bee genius, Trump enacts plan
to dumb down Chinese population by inviting them to attend
American University.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, yeah, well played.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And I hope China is not involved in any of
the putin stuff, that there's no strategy going on. And
we got to follow up on that big phone server
that China, Russia, Iran somebody put in New York was
gonna shut down the whole cell phone service for some reason,
a state actor according to the Secret Service. We got
lots to talk about today, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
N Anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted,
if you're just joining us, we are preempting your regularly
scheduled encore episode of Celebrity Family Feud to bring you
this special report. I'm happy to be here tonight with you.
(17:59):
I'm not sure at a weird forty eight hours me
or the CEO of.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Tile at all.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I that's funny. I've already thrown up three times and
that's all I've heard of him. Oh my, I care
so little about this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The free free speech tough huge, definitely a real conversation
and all that. Oh Gavin was on Late Night with Colbert.
I didn't realize that. Oh yes, oh, and he said
some stuff that is so horrible, low delicious.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
But back to Kimmel, I just there's so many things
about this to hate. First of you, he's a smug
a hole, he just is. Yeah, and uh, he hates
you unless you're his politics. He hates you and thinks
you're stupid, so screw him. Oh he's utterly contemptuous of you.
Yes that's correct, Yeah, yeah he is. And he gets
like a million viewers a night, like six hundred thousand
(18:54):
in demo. Why do these shows get so much attention?
I do not understand to the legacy of Johnny Carson,
it's not earned significant. Before we get to the clip
that I'm as not getting played, well, it's up to Joe.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't need to hear any more from this. It's
it's way overblown.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I don't freaking care, but I do want to play
the one clip that nobody else is playing. But I
wanted to read this analysis from Mark Halprin, which I
thought was really interesting because Kimmel comes out, does this
thing gets treated like I get my analysis at some point,
of course, but Kimmel comes out, gets his standing ovation
and treated like a returning war hero or whatever, and
(19:35):
everybody goes gaga. To one side, Kima was a defiant
hero standing up to a bullying president. To the other,
he was a smug Hollywood elitist refusing to apologize for
mocking a tragedy. That is the real takeaway. The episode
was not a turning point, not a resolution, but another
marker and a period of ever increasing division. The standing
ovations in the studio were genuine, but outside those walls,
(19:56):
the applause sounded very different. Kimil got his redemption, ARC
Disney got it streaming bump, Trump got its spoil but
the country country remained where it was, split, bruise, bewildered,
embracing for what comes next.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Right right, I would agree that's some good analysis. So
here's here's my take, and I'm going to start with
The New York Post has collected a bunch of what
I think I'm supposed to say, reactions from various conservative
people about crocodile tears. Look at Jimmy the Martyr, Kimmel,
fake crying, tonight, deny attack, reverse victim, and offender Darvo playbook.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Said Charlie Kirk's friend jacksoviec and typical leftist fashioned Jimmy
makes the victim himself, who's a Dana Losh says no apologies,
he wasn't making a Jokey outright lied about the killer
because he hated the politics of the victim. Jimmy Kimmel
can pound sand. Let's see, you lied about the Maga gang.
You lied about what happened. You definitely intended to.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Make light of it. Blah blah blah, said Scott Jennings.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Ex pathetic blah blah blah, and several more things of
that sort. All of those takes and opinions are absolutely correct.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Ha ha ha.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And I agree with them completely. Here's the crappy part
about that. Though the First Amendment question is extremely important,
extremely Jimmy Kimmel being an a hole doesn't matter. Two consecutive,
four consecutive administrations going as far as they can to
(21:30):
limit free speech if they don't like it, that's no good,
that's horrible. It's an American. I agreed with virtually everything
Jimmy Kimmel said about the First Amendment last night.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
One hundred percent, and he's an a hole.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
He reminds me of none other than Ernesto Miranda of
the Miranda Warnings, who was a raping, kidnapping scumbag who
rotted in prison precisely where he deserved to be. And
Americans ought to be reminded of the rights when they
get arrested.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Those two things are.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Both true, and they're called Miranda rights because of that case.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Right, that was exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, the uh Jimmy Kimmel's he sees it's an awful
human being and smug ignoramus and the chairman of the
FCC and the President himself saying people who don't agree
with me or pissed me off or accurate ought to
be taken off the air. That sucks and I will
never ever support that from either administration, either party, or
(22:33):
if some third party emerges in days to.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Come, I will hate that too, Amen, and of rant.
So I think it's interesting that every news I'm sorry
one more thought, Hey Democrats, what are the f for you?
When your guys were doing exactly the same thing?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So please save me your righteous igdignation, you lying hypocrites.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Now that's the endime I've.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Seen a lot of those the uh, the comments from
people when Tucker got booted, Well, there are limits to
what you can say on the air versus what the
things they're saying when Kimmel got booted.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Briefly and all this.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Skills YouTube now say, all those accounts that we banned
during COVID for telling the truth, well the administration made
us do it. You can have your account back. Oh,
there's there was some principle.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I can't believe that he gets away with kim Will
gets away with saying what he said and he doesn't
even have to take it back.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Because that was a ridiculously dumb thing to say. Oh yeah, anyway,
this part is not being played by anyone, and I
thought it was the most dramatic part of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They're like a.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Moment over the weekend, a very beautiful moment. I don't
know if you saw this on Sunday, Erica Kirk forgave
the man who shot her husband. She forgave him. That
is an example we should follow. Yeah, if you believe
in the teaching of Jesus as I do. There it
(24:03):
was that's that's it, a selfless act of grace forgiveness.
From a grieving widow. It touched me deeply.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And I hope that it touches learning and.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
If there's anything we should take from this tragedy to
carry forward, I hope it can be that and not this.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So you know a lot of people claim those were
crocodile tears, et cetera. I actually think he was sincere,
completely sincere. Jimmy Kimmel's not a monster.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's a fool.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Do you think he's a He's a follower of Jesus
who that's a part of his life in his mind
it is. I didn't say he's wise or smart or right,
just that he was sincere.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He thinks he is. Why do you think is a fool?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
How about Why do you think nobody's playing that part?
I haven't heard that clip anywhere?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Because Christianity is evil and white supremacist or something something
I learned in social classes in college. Every other religion
is to be revered as beautiful and sacred and should
not be described.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I think it might be on the progressive left.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I think it might be as much as because he
said something nice about Charlie Kirk's wife.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
They don't want that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
They don't like that yeah, so I'll leave that part out. Yeah,
we're pressed for time, we can't. We'll leave out clearly
the most dramatic part of his speech last night, clearly
the most dramatic part to me. He praises Erica Trump
for being a follower of Christ and we should all
emulate her. And there nobody Erica Kirk. Sorry, and nobody's
playing that because you just want it to be one
(25:46):
hundred percent defiant of Trump and all those people and
the evil Kirk who is actually a racist, don't you
know that.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I just I hate the way we do things now.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I hate it, even as much as I think Jimmy
Kimmel's an a hole. And lots of people say behind
the scenes he's a nice guy. He's a nice guy
if you agree with him. He is Joseid contemptuous of
half the country. He thinks you're a moron. Yeah, so
if you think I'm a moron, I don't have to
like you. I don't care how nice you are.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To other people.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
But he says something nice about their enemy, and that
clip doesn't make the highlights for anyone, just the defiant
against Trump stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I hate everything we do now, And there have been
a number of voices on the right saying the right
things about free speech, and we've we've mentioned some of them,
but I don't know you do. You all are gonna
do what you want, you should, But commentators who are
merely blasting Jimmy Kimmel for as many character flaws and
(26:49):
not taking a moment to think about the First Amendment
implications and how you've got to be consistent on this
stuff or we will lose it, you know, shop for
your ideas. You know, accordingly, it's okay to censor if
it's there. Guys, No, oh my god, if you don't
know where that road leads, well, there's no help in you.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Well, so, like I'm thinking, like one percent of the
country watches him through broadcast airwaves. If you took away
that one percent the rest of them, there's no free
speech involved in the in the UH there's no FCC
control over screaming or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
So you couldn't threaten it.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, well, no, I disagree, just because it's one one
company that owns the right to put him as a
product on all of those platforms, and if you take
away one of them, then he's no longer profitable enough period.
I just the FCC commissioner ought to shut his by hole.
Trump ought to stop Well, I would just well, I
(27:50):
agree with that hum percent. I just think it's going
to be completely moot in like five years. We're down
to we're down to like six people in the country
watching anything through broad gast airwaves.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So the FCC will have no role in any of that.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
But given the media landscape, the fact that because of
over regulation which Democrats have ushered into being mostly you
need the president to put his anointing oil on your
merger for renting oil, or the FTC, the Federal Trade
Commission or the Justice Department or who the hell ever
(28:25):
else will say, na, we're gonna make it real tough
for you unless you kiss our ring and beg us
rent seeking we call it in economics.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
All of it sucks.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
There was another interesting point from just a business standpoint
that was made, but I'll tell you about that right
after this from Simply Safe. I like to pull out
of my driveway and I give my little salute to
the simply Safe sign that I got in the yard
that lets me know and everyone know that I got
all that protection in my home. I got the cameras,
I got the censors, I got to everything. And what's
(28:57):
so different about simply Safe.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well, there's a lot of stuff that's different, but one
of the primary things is instead of the old systems
that an alarm goes off after somebody's already smashed into
your house and taken your stuff, simply Safe is proactive.
They use smart AI powered cameras to identify threats lurking
outside your home and immediately alert simply Safe professional monitoring
agents who can interven and intervene in real time before
(29:19):
the break in even begins.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So here's my question, why wouldn't you try it? It's
super easy to set up. That's part of the whole
Simply Safe name sixty day money back guarantee, no long
term contracts. Simply Safe earns your business every day, keeping
you safe and satisfied every day. Visit simply safe dot
com slash armstrong. You get fifty percent off your new system.
That's simplysafe dot com slash armstrong use that code.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Please. There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
So one of the business analyzes of this whole thing
was not very many years ago. The two biggest distributors
of a network show saying we're not airing it would
have been the.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
End of the show.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Absolutely, not even a question Sinclair and whatever that other
one saying that they weren't gonna Eric Kimmel, that would
have been the end of the show. But everything has
changed so much, so fast, and there's so few people
that get there shows that way anymore. Anyway, it didn't matter,
and the people at Disney and I had thought about this,
but clearly true. They love the Anything that hurts network
(30:22):
out there and drives stuff to the streaming contracts is
a plus for them.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
They want that.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
They want you to get your antenna down off the
roof and sign up for Hulu Disney. That's what they want.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
To have happened.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
So wow, true, absolutely, that's just the changing world that
we live in. I hope I don't hear another word
about Jimmy Kimmel in my life. Who flipping cares what
he thinks about anything? I do care about free speech.
I don't care about Jimmy Kimmel. I wonder what his
ratings were last night. I'm sure that will come out.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Uh slightly higher. For a few days.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
It could have tripled it and it would have been
three million people across the whole country.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, and give it four, five, six days, and people
will be reminded why they didn't watch.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
In the first place. Exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
We got mail bag on the way, We got a
whole bunch of stuff. We got to read the whole Dang. Well,
I don't know if we can read the whole thing?
Is too long?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
A truth?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Social posts that Trump put out yesterday about Ukraine getting
all their territory back.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
What does that that all mean? It could be very
very huge.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Tell you that anyways, stick around. Zelenski, speaking at the
UN just said we're in the most destructive arms race
in human history.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That might actually be true. Oh yeah, I think he probably, Yeah,
he's right, you're right. Freedom loving Quote of the Day.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm thinking about legacy and posterity in the wake of
the assassination of young Charlie Kirk and his message and
how it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
May continue on and even greater than when he was alive.
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
This is from the American writer Edward Abbey, whose work
I don't really know, but I like this quote. Those
who have no sense of posterity or any concern for
future generations are the ones who are really dead. I
mean they are dead right now walking zombies. Hmm, interesting thought,
mail bag.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't like the way I'm dressed today. You ever
have that happen?
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Do you get dressed and you look at yourself in
the mirror and think, I just do not like this
and it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
It seems like a good idea in the closet.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I didn't have time to change, and now I just
gotta walk around looking like a homeless person or a
high school kid all day long.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I don't know if I'd go that far. Are your
casual comfortable? Drops a note mail bag at Armstrong E
Geddy dot com. Let's see. We'll begin here and then
move on. It's Neil in beautiful Hanford, California.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Bull ass Joe. Jimmy Kimmel is a suck up a hole.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Nothing he said last night was sincere, but thank you
for watching so I didn't have to. And this from
Ed appreciate what you said about Kimmel's show yesterday.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Couldn't agree more.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
He gives the middle finger every night to half the country.
His non apology apology was a disgrace than this from
side Joe, Bob. I'm much more concerned about the president
proclaiming hate for half the country than a late night
hack doing the same, and that's probably enough.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Does it make sense to.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Mock the idea that anybody thinks it wasn't the Maga
that killed him, and you're so touched by her speech
and forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I don't know if those two things fit together. Uh yeah, right.
I like this one guy whose name I don't know. Oh,
he was Andrew KOLFDD. He's an executive producer of The
Charlie Kirk Show and a friend. He said, Jimmy, it's simple.
I'm sorry for saying the shooter was Maga.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He was not.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
He was of the left. I apologized to the Kirk
family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will
do better.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I was wrong, yes, because you said to that woman
last night and now I'm getting fired up. So you said,
Erica Kirkshie said an example we should all follow. I'm
a Christian and we're both following Jesus and he forgave
him and she's so wonderful and everything like that. You
said that her husband and father, the children were killed
by people that he had been talking to, that.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Had recruited that he had that he had created this
situation thereby deserving it exactly. That's what you said, Jimmy Kimmel, Right,
you lie in a hole. And that's again, he's not
an evil genius, He's a fool. He's a jackass. Moving
along what was Putin's thinking? Robin Walnut Creek writes Jack Joe.
(34:34):
The multi year meat grinders greatly exhausted the supply of
Russian conscripts, with Putin resorting to North Korea as a
stopgap to provide more cannon fodder. Iran is a shell
of itself and not in a place to help. It's
only remaining allies China, who to date has provided indirect
support of weapons supplies and intelligence. Why would he want
a war against NATO? Maybe because it's to pull China
(34:54):
in for direct support. He believes Russia plus China against
NATO would provide better odds than the current stalemate.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Welcome to World War three.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And that's what I said. That's why I said what
I said like twenty minutes ago. I hope China is
involved in this calculation.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, I don't know if that would work anyway. China
and Rush our frenemies never forget that, and they can
be a formidable force together, but there's a high level
of mistrust there. And finally, RFK Anonymous writes, first of all, Michael,
well done. When Jack was telling his bear story, playing
the classic Dennis green Cliff, the bears are who he
(35:29):
thought they were, his email topic is actually you want
to crown Michael, crown him, which is.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
A less remembered part of that rant.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
But then he said, I was so disillusioned learning that
Jack was not mad enough to fight a bear in
his underwear. I was sure that the story would end
with our hero Jack and Henry taking the bear carcass
off the roof of the car and leaving it in
Golden Gate Park on the bike path next to the
old bike Jack always keeps in the car. Oh go
(35:58):
full RFK bear carcass humor.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Come on, I should have been rolling around in the
campground in my underwear fighting the bear. You're absolutely right
to save my Coleman cooler that costs twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yes, yes, if you were a man, you would have.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
We also got a great email about fake Russian slash
Ukrainian brides. You owe us an update on your romance
with the Ukrainian honey that's right.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I have an update on my Ukrainian girlfriend. Yes, we
got a lot on the way. I hope you can
stay here. If you miss a segment, get the podcast
