Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty, and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
This is certainly about the tragic.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Death assassination political assassination of Charlie Kirk, but it is
also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It
is an attack on all of us. It is an
attack on the American experiment.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is an attack on our ideals.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We will never be able to solve all the other problems,
including the violence problems that people are worried about, if
we can't have a clash of ideas safely and securely,
even especially especially those ideas with which you disagree. That's
why this matters so much.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I can't imagine any position other than political violence is abhorrent.
It's just it doesn't make any sense to me. If
you're okay with the other side getting beaten down or killed,
you have not thought this through because it wouldn't end there.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It doesn't end there, right, right?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That was Governor Spencer Cox of Utah. To your point, Yeah,
to allow it against the other side, you are condoning
it against your side and have decided it's time for
open warfare, which is foolish, to say the very very least. Right,
(01:50):
So the assassin of Charlie Kirk has been apprehended. The
press conference happened recently. The salient facts follow. This is
Governor Cox once again.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
On the evening of September eleventh, a family member of
Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted
the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had
confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.
Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson, who stated that
Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family
(02:30):
member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to
dinner prior to September tenth, and in the conversation with
another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.
They talked about why they didn't like him and the
viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk
was full of hate and spreading hate.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Roommate who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made
a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show
them the messages on discord.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He opened it and showed several messages to.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen
as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
These photos consisted of various.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Messages, including content of messages between the phone contact named
Tyler with an emoji icon and Robinson's roommate's device.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The content of.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
These messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler, stating
a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point,
leaving the rifle in a bush, Messages related to visually
watching the area where a rifle was left, and a
message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.
(03:50):
The messages also referred to engraving bullets and a mention
of a scope and the rifle being unique messages from
the content, Tyler also.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Mentioned that he had changed outfits.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
So dumb dumb comes up with a plan where I
heard people say it was very clever. The spot he
chose made it easy to exit to a parking lot
that was right by the interstate. I mean, like, so
you know, I thought out an escape plan until you
get home, and then I'm just gonna hope nobody catches on,
(04:26):
even though I've made posts about how much I hate
Charlie Cook and rifles and whatnot online.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I mean, so, I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Right right, and we may never know. The greater point
has just come together in my head. But before we
get to that, one more clip of the governor talking
about the shell casings and the engravings that we talked
about yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the area north of Campus Drive Road where the
suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the
video that we released last night, consists of a grassy
area with trees. On the edge of the UVU campus,
investigators discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark
colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser
Model ninety eight thirty yacht six thirty six caliber bolt
(05:12):
action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top
of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on
casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing
read notices, bulges, capital, wo, What's this question mark? Inscriptions
on the three unfired casings read hey fascist exclamation point
(05:37):
catch exclamation point up arrow symbol, right arrow and symbol,
and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read oh,
bella chow bella chow bella chow chow chow. And a
third unfired casing read if you read this, you are
gay LMAO.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That one is.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Not quite as literate as the other ones, So hey
fascist catch is pretty easy to understand. The bella chaw
one is a song favored by resistance movements and revolutionary
anti capitalist partisans. So that's a fairly you know, scholarly
knowledge about these kind of movements for a guy whose
plan was all go home and hope they don't catch me.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And I just looked up o w os it's just
an emoji of a surprised person.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we will decode more of that as we go forward.
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It just came together in my head as I was
listening to the first clip we played to the governor
family members say he became more political, And what came
together in my head is how evil and dangerous it
is to politicize children and young people, and dictators have
(07:01):
known this. They've done it intentionally because they know how
pliable young people are, and they haven't developed their sense
of reasonable caution yet. But bear in mind, and we
don't know this young man's story, although it's probably very
similar to a lot of the other angry and violent
young activists we see on college campuses these days. It
(07:24):
is the avowed purpose of a lot of colleges and
universities and honestly some high school and elementary school teachers
to politicize everything. As we are discussing the last hour,
every class should be political, not just social sciences, but
English class should be political, Literature classes should be political, Mathematics,
(07:48):
computer science, engineering classes should be political.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
According to the neo Marxists, the radical left, they know
what they're doing. How does a young.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dipstick like this guy get so angry political at that
age that he's willing to do something that horrific, Well,
it's because he's been indoctrinated over and over Cotton here constantly,
you know, depending on where he got his education, in
what shape it took, and he's.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Been convinced by these Marxist nut jobs that politics should
be at the center of everything you do. And Nick
Gillispie of Reason Magazine, they're a libertarian outfit. He's one
of the most prominent libertarians in America. Gillispie wrote this yesterday.
Remember that the genius of America at its best is
precisely that it is the place where politics doesn't have
(08:47):
to dominate every aspect of your life. Our national proposition
is that we are free to live peacefully however we want,
without permission or coercion. Politics should be the least important
part of our lives. Imagine saying that to a room
full of college kids. They would think, what are you
talking about? Politics should be the least important part of
(09:07):
our lives. But it has become a war of all
against all because its most fervent practitioners are constantly saying
that all of us must live this way or that way.
Don't just walk don't just walk away from the battlefield.
Refuse to legitimize it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Right like looking to government to solve every single issue
and problem we have as people is insane.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is predicated upon
squeezing politics into the smallest corner of our daily lives possible.
And we have education K through PhD screaming just the
opposite no, no, no, everything is political. The way a
stop sign is shaped has got something to do with
(09:52):
white supremacy. I mean everything is political.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
We actually have a great piece of humor on that topic.
Maybe we'll play that coming up. But yeah, politics and
radical left politics need to be at the center of everything,
and a lot of us James lindsay On had been
reacting to, wait a minute, you want to make decolonialism
centered basic mathematics?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What the ever you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But that's their proposition, and I think Nick Gillespie's has
highlighted it beautifully by expressing the opposite. I'm paraphrasing, but
there I read something not too long ago, very famous
englishman I can't remember who it was, but said it
used to be that an Englishman could go two weeks
without being reminded of or bumping up against his government. Yeah,
(10:39):
and now you can't get through an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I really like it all together.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Don't just walk away from the battlefield, refuse to legitimate
it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Hey, Karama, that's a hell of a fight, o, getting
governments intruded into freaking everything.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
All right, A quick word from our friends at Trust
and will you know I'm not going to discuss whether
or not picnic is.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
A racist term, right, just not Yeah, we're gonna play
the funny version of that. Everybody needs a smile, I think.
But you don't want to get together a trust and
or will an estate plan because you think it's going
to be a drag, or it's going to be hard,
or it's going to be super expensive. But you know
you have to do it so the people you care
about aren't just doomed to linksy an expensive legal battles,
(11:26):
bitter disputes, or the state deciding what happens to your
assets when you go.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So get in touch with trust and Will dot com.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, so you can have all your important documents in
one place, bank level encryption. It's all set up to
be state specific in the laws in your state. With
the live customer support that you can get through chat,
phone or email, it's going to be real easy to
do and.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You can create and manage a custom estate plan starting
at one hundred and ninety nine dollars. Do I need
a trust or a will? What's the difference? They guide
you through all of that stuff, secure your assets and
protect your loved ones with trust and will get twenty
sent off on your estate plan documents by visiting trust
and will dot com slash armstrong Again, that's trust and
(12:07):
will dot com slash armstrong, trust and will dot com
slash armstrong. So I got breaking news that France is
sending some of their best jets to Poland. We should
update that story in a little bit because that is
still going on and still a really big deal. But
we've got this funny list of all the ridiculous things
that liberals have tried to cancel over the last few years,
(12:30):
which gets to them making everything about politics.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That and other stuff on the way, stay tuned, rong.
Why would I ever eat chocolate cake? There's no reason
for a grown man to ever eat a piece of
chocolate cake except that it's on the list of the
ten best things ever.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, but so I was at a dinner last night,
had chocolate cake there, so I ate the freaking thing,
felt horrible afterwards, probably gained ninety pounds Katie.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
How often do you eat chocolate cake? Though not very often?
But I will ever treat yourself, as they say, treat
yourself to me. Chocolate cake is the cherry on the
Sunday of life. Yes, that's pretty funny. Thank you. I'm
here all week speaking of funny. Enjoy this.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Liberals saying that Republicans and conservatives are sensitive and that
we're canceling everything is the biggest joke. You guys got
aunt Jemima Syrup rebranded to Pearl Milling Company. You pressured
them to remove a Native American lady from.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
A butter box.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
You made them remove a black chef from the cream
of Wheat box who was based off a real person.
You made it so Elmer Fudd can't carry his gun
in the newer cartoons. You got Eskimo Pies changed to
Eddie's Pies. Uncle Ben's Rice is no longer Uncle Ben's Rice.
Now it's just Ben's original he was everybody's. You got
(14:01):
mister potato Head changed to just potato Head to be
more gender inclusive.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
What that's pretty good. That does make you look crazy? Yeah,
I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We've received some wonderful, eloquent emails on the question and
answer of in the Way of the Horrible Murder of
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
How do we carry on his message? How do we proceed?
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
And one part of that answer and I want to
get back into that next hour. But one part of
that answer is laugh at these people, mock them, point
out how ridiculous their claims and their demands can be
banded together with people like you. There's an old saying
that the one thing a dictator can't take is being
(14:54):
laughed at. I mean, you can yell at him, you
can protest, and they let you get away with fair
amount of that. You successfully mock the rigid dictators of
leftist America.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That's when you get them.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Speaking of being mocked. So we had a meeting yesterday.
We had a zoom meeting with a client. So Joe's
on the screen where he is. We're all in different
locations because it was long after the show. We're all
different locations, Me Johansen, and we're doing this zoom meeting.
And Joe sends me a text, Oh boy, please stop
(15:30):
smiling like that. Please, it's creeping me out.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What was that about? I can't. I'm not gonna say that.
You're no, you were aware this is being aired? Correct?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Were you so? Okay? Did I misinterpret that? I thought
you were talking about me? Were you not talking about me?
Let's assume I was.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
I would assume so because you've been constantly.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Worrying on your RBF.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to talk about. So
I have been working on my UH and I don't
have RBF. I have r mf resting, murdery face. I
look like I want to attack your just sitting walking
down the street in a meeting. Well, I'm perfectly happy.
I might be like it's nearly a static, but that's
just what my face looks like. So I've been practicing
(16:20):
this every single day, and I walked down the street
with my new face, and it's been been received very well.
My new face, I can I can actually tell that
I get a different reaction out of people. So during
the Zoom call yesterday, I was practicing it and I thought.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe I had taken it too far.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now I will say for the record, because you've put
me in such a strange VI, it was Hanson.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hanson was smiling too much. Now I'm done talking about it. Okay,
Well I thought it was me. That's why that's why
I brought it up. Okay, So it was good. No,
you absolutely were not. So I did I look normal
or did I look Did I look like I had gas? No, No,
it was good.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It was It was good because when you don't look
like a homicidal maniac, you look like you're bored to
death instead of the quietly attentive face that I've actually
worked on with one of my children, who is brilliant
but easily bored.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And yeah, no, you looked quietly attentive. That well well done?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
You know anything beyond I'm like angrily plotting against you.
That's what I'm trying to not look like.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
No, you're You're definitely on the north side of that
well done.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
How many people try to change their face at age
sixty like I'm making a concerted effort when I catch
myself just driving down the road. I'm not doing it
because I'm trying to get the muscles, because that's what
it is. It's muscle memory. Yes, I got the mirror
in my car pointed at my face now, so I
can constantly check my facial expression while I'm driving.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You've had for a head on collisions, but I wouldn't
worry about it.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Yes, but if I have a head on collision or
get rear into or whatever, I will approach the.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Driver asking for their insurance card with a pleasant look.
On my face. Honey, a pleasant, cheerful man just plowed
into our car. I'm fine, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Armstrong and Getty, Hey, I.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Read that Starbucks is planning to renovate over one thousand
of its stores. They're going to make some big changes.
Is what some other chains had to say about it. First,
Panera Bread said good luck with the update, and Olive
Garden said, can't wait to see your new look. Then
Cracker Barrel said, are you out of your mine?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I wonder what they're gonna do. I wonder if it's
got anything to do with the bathroom situation. That's just
the only reason is on my mind. They still struggle
with that in a lot of different places, almost people
taking over the bathrooms and washing themselves, and Starbucks doesn't
want to be kicking out homeless people because I got
in trouble for that.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Blah blah blah blah. Yeah, that's yeah, just woke doesn't work.
Doesn't work in the real world.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
So I know you're not a Starbucks, you guy. A
lot of Starbucks they have bathrooms, but there's no sink
in there or anything like that to wash your hands.
And the washing your hands place is kind of out
in public, so there's no you can't like really be
a homeless person going there and wash yourself.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Which is what they want to do, like you're at
a music festival.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, which is kind of gross because you got to
leave the bathroom and touch the run, know, all that stuff,
and then go out there and wash your hands.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Yes, Katie, I had that experience for the first time recently,
where it was bathroom stalls and then like a communal sink,
and all of it was weird. And my husband Drew
felt really uncomfortable because a little girl came out of
the bathroom and he's like standing there washing his hands
next to her, and he's just like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
All of it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
But it's all as a response to they don't have
the freaking guts to say, hey, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Customers only.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, no junkies taking a bum bath in the bathroom.
This is our place, it's private property. We say, get out.
They don't have the guts to do that.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Different topic, because these stories, which are huge, kind of
got obliterated by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You still got the.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Israel Hamas thing going on, right, Israel's clearing out Gaza,
and the United Nations just had a vote on declaring
a state of Palestine.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
The vote was one hundred and forty two to ten.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
The United States voted no, along with Israel, Argentina, Hungary,
and a couple other tiny little countries, but one hundred
and forty two to ten in favor of a state
of Palestine, which will never ever, one more ever happen ever.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Correct, the leadership hasn't wanted it unless it wipes out
Israel for three generations.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
And it's silly that the meaningless debating society they called
the UN continues to push this forward. Marco Rubio actually
traveling to Israel as a show of support because they
knew this vote was coming and they're expected to be
there the whole contentious debate around the Palestinian state. Marco
(21:17):
Rubio wanted to be there at the United States and
Israel standing against the idea of Palestinian state.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So there's that story.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Then you got the whole putin testing NATO like he
did the other day with drones in Poland. Here's some
of that story, as reported on CNN yesterday. What numbers
that seventy two.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
We don't have seventy two.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Okay, Well, so in case you don't know that, we
talked about it quite a bit the day that had
happened nineteen. I think as a number they've settled on
drones that went quite a ways into Poland. The thing
is that this is after many drones that had gone
into Poland, crossing a little bit here, crossing a little
bit there, and getting no reaction whatsoever, until finally Russia
(22:04):
sent nineteen drones, some of them as far as three
hundred kilometers inside of Poland. That's one hundred and eighty
miles to you and me. That's a long way. As
Ian Bremmer points out, that was no mistake of any kind.
That was a test to see if there would be
a response. Donald Tusk of Poland said, we wish that
the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It wasn't, and we know it, okay. So the Russian
claim was that it's the Ukrainians fault. They used signal
jamming in our drones went off kilter, so it was
an accident, but authorities like Ian Bremer and Tusker saying
no way, okay.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Well, A reporter asked Trump about the reaction to that today,
this is what he said to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Russian drowning grusion into Poland.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Could have been a mistake, could have been a mistake,
but regardless, I'm not happy about anything happen to do
with that whole situation.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But hopefully it's going to come to an end.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
So he either felt the need to let Rush off
the hook, or he hasn't been paying attention to the
story and hasn't been updated, or I don't know which.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He's expressed. I'm not happy with this. I don't like
it several times. I don't like how hot it is
in August, but I'm not going to do anything about it.
I think we're down to the are you going to
do anything about a stage?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Sir?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Right.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So there's breaking news that France is sending some of
their fighter jets to Poland so that they could get
involved if they need to in shutting down any more
of these incursions as Russia tests and sees if NATO
will push back one hundred and eighty miles across the
(23:46):
borders quite a ways, and so there is talkie yesterday
among the European countries of establishing a I forgot the
exact term, as it ended in plus those like border
zone plus or something like that. The idea is that
this is our border plus. I think it was sixty miles.
You get within sixty miles of our border, and we
(24:07):
shoot you down starting today.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Right, Yeah, the idea being if you allow me to
swing my fist to within an inch of your nose,
because I haven't hit you in the nose, well, the
day I decide to break your nose, you'll never be
able to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So, yeah, there's a buffer zone. But what do you
think Putin was up to.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I understand the whole testing NATO thing, but if the
test had failed, NATO doesn't shoot the drowned drones down
and they just get to fly that far into Poland
and then cross into Ukraine. Was his ultimate goal? Was
he going to attack Poland and try to take them
over while he's fighting in Ukraine? That seems like a
horrible idea.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, I doubt it. I just think he would.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He's constantly calculating and recalculating NATO's will to oppose him
in a variety of ways, politically and militarily, and you
know it might affect the way they maneuver on the
ground or in the air. If NATO's response is very,
very soft, he would say to his generals, hey, go
ahead and fly through this airspace or pulllice maneuvers off
(25:11):
or whatever you.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Can because NATO isn't going to do anything about it.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I don't know specifically, though it could be partially this angle.
We have the clip now and this is what they
brought up on CNN yesterday.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
If I had speculate, I think they're kind of probing
testing how NATO responds. This drone warfare is the wave
of the future, and if I look at NATO's response,
it's good.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
There was a response.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
You don't wake up every morning seeing the Dutch defense
minister saying our F thirty fives were in the sky
downing Russian drones and NATO airspace.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
This is totally unprecedented.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
At the same time, to use F thirty five's most
expensive air platform in the world to take down these
really Iranian drones that Russia produces, very cheap, very easy
to make. That's not the most cost effective way to
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Right, and Putin knows that.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
So that's part of the whole Putin strategy, which he's
been doing in Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
For a long time.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Now is eventually you're gonna run out of that super
expensive equipment that you've got to shoot these down, and
you can't keep sending f Did you know the Dutch
had F thirty five's the best plane in the world.
Obviously they got them from US, But I didn't know
that the Dutch has F thirty fives and they can't
be having their best pilots with their best planes out
there shooting down drones.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean you can't do that endlessly. No, no, not endlessly.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I think it's probably good for training to put these
guys into actual hot you know, situations. But no, whether
it's you know, the F thirty fives are just the
Patriot anti missile systems.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I mean, we don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Unlimited stockpiles of the ordinance you use in those, so
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's not a good trend.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And to his point, in your point, you know, Putin
is thinking, hey, we're draining their stockpiles because they don't
have the manufacturing capacity up and running for warfare.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
By the way, we didn't talk about one of the
horrifying attacks. I think maybe because the Charlie Cook assassination
had happened bunch of old people in line to get there,
basically their social security checks there in Ukraine got obliterated
by a missile strike from Russia the other day, and
on purpose, because he knows what he's doing, old people
(27:21):
in line killed twenty five oldsters standing in line.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, I mean, what is that?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It was an unmistakably not military target. Yeah, it was
just killing civilians.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Horrifying.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Do you think Trump is reaching the end of the
road where he is going to do something sanctions arm Ukraine,
say you can start using these weapons deeper into Russian territory,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I read an account yesterday of the day before that
he had really strong armed the Europeans to wean themselves
from Russian oil and gas and quit screw and around
on that level, and he was also sending strong messages
to India.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
About that theme.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And one of the things that struck so he he
is openly pushing for We've got to get more forceful
with Putin. But one of my takeaways from that article was, oh,
that's right. The Europeans are still buying zillions of dollars
worth of Russian energy and financing Putin's war.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Machine. Are you kidding? And I know it's not.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Effortless to rearrange your energy, you know the sources of energy.
But a neighbor in your backyard is starting to do
invade countries. You gotta find a different way to do
it well. And you're on the cuspp of war with
that invader. Yeah, you can't be your financing.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
It was more than a billion dollars worth of oil
that Russia's old to European countries.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, it's crazy. Huh, don't watch. We don't listen to
what they say, watch what they do. I mean that's
true of everybody anyway.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
That's an update on both of those wars, which could
turn extra spicy any day. I think it's interesting that
Marco Rubio is going to be in Israel to stand
side by side with Nettan Yahoo, since we're the only
significant no vote on that whole Palestinian state thing. You
freaking phonies. It's like being a pacifist. It's just a
phony position. It makes you feel good about yourself and
(29:22):
you get to brag your other phony friends.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Like you're a good person. There's not going to be
a Palestinian state, are you? What are you even talking about.
I know what we could do.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We could get Jimmy Carter and Monock em Bagan and
Yasser Arafat and Bill Clinton, and we could all have
them sit down and come up with an agreement that
gives the Palestinian leadership virtually everything they've asked for. Oh
that's right, We've done that multiple times, and then they
reject it at the last second and go back to
(29:52):
militancy because they're militant Islamists that want to wipe out
Israel and all the Jews.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh right, I keep forgetting.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
So we got a bunch of other stuff, and an
update on the scumbag murderer that they caught and everything else.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Hooper has said that as soon as next year, users
will be able to book helicopters on the app.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I guess it's a good idea. That's a little worrying
to hear. I'm drunks.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Tend me to call me a helicopter. Hey, I get
chopper out of here. What would a helicopter cost to rent?
That's your level of rich. You got don't fly, you drive,
You've got fly coach, Then you've got fly first class,
then you've got fly private. Then you've got take a
(30:44):
helicopter to the airport to fly product. Those are your
levels of rich and then you own the jet right
own plane.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's your apex. Yes, that reminds me I got to
get my jets serviced. Anyway, what did it were? Wood
did it wear?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So I have a very carefully constructed and informative discussion
of how a couple of different foundations and their policies
led directly to that poor Ukrainian girl being murdered in Charlotte,
how that works and what can be done against it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But it's too damn serious. I'm not in the mood.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Got so that will be put in the refrigerator for
next hour or another day because it will remain incredibly important.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
But this instead, oh have to A bunch of people
have pointed out something Joe pointed out during commercials that
sometimes when I'm trying to say Charlie Kirk was assassinated,
I say Charlie Cook, who's also a conservative pundit. That
is somewhat controversial. Charlie Cook is alive. Charlie Kirk has
been assassinated, it's just a carl CW.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Cook remains among us. Yes, thank god, Yes, So blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Instead this are protein bars
actually good for you? Or are they just glorified candy bar?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
When I read the label, a lot of them they
did a great job of taking a regular candy bar,
putting a label on it that is like a natural
sort of color and maybe a stalk of wheat on
there or something. Yeah, and you fool me that instead
of a cartoon character, is a stalk of wheat that something?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Help me, right? And that's all it takes for a
lot of us. Yeah, you're so right.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
The long story short, and man, they milked this for
a lot of words. Long story short is a lot
of them have added sugar and a lot of them
are hyper process what's that? What's the term everybody's used
for a process ultra processed foods with all sorts of
(32:50):
ingredients you've never heard of in your life, A bunch
of added sugar, And look for ones that have as
little sugar as possible and as simple a list of
ingredients as possible.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And I've got a couple I like that are very
much that.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I went the other direction when I realized that these
energy bars I was eating, we basically just candy bars.
I just thought, what the hell, then I just get
a Snakers. I need a little pick me up energy.
I just eat a freaking Sninkers bar.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah. Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But one of the other takeaways that I thought was
interesting is they talked to a handful of nutritionists and
they're all saying the same thing. You'd have to search
high and low to find an American who actually needs
more protein than they're getting.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Oh really, now that's interesting. We have a quite a
good protein rich diet available to us.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
So unless you're a vegan or somebody who's just had
a really really strenuous workout, you're probably find protein.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Well I didn't know that about protein. I knew that
about all your various vitamins and everything like that. I've
known that for many, many years. Unless you have an
extreme diet, you're getting the maximum your body can take
of almost all the vitamins anyway, any extra you take,
you're just being them out right.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So I think you know, the bottom line is what's
been the bottom line for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Avoid excessive sugar and added sugar, protein and fat stick
with you longer, satiate your hunger longer, so as long
as it's in reasonable amounts. You know, do that protein's good,
which you probably don't need much more than you're getting.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Look for natural ingredients and less sugar.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
My favorite thing I came across the other day, the
big giant study that said, and I had technical terms
for calorie surplus.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
If you take in more calories than you burn every day,
you gain weight. If you take in fewer calories than
you burn every day, you lose weight. The end, according
to some nutritionists, that's the end. So I just all
of them. I've just been trying to take in fewer
calories than I'm burning. That I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
So one of the nutritionists says, you might consider opting
for a different snack. It's just as portable and nutritious,
like grapes, banana, an apple, or yogurt with berries. Another
doctor suggests a handful of nuts and or tuna or
hard boiled eggs, which is why I carry a tuna
fish around with me, the whole thing, carry it by
(35:12):
the tail. Every time I'm hungry, I take a bite
out of it like I'm Gollum in the Lord of
the Rings.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
I have a delicious and low sugar. I have a
sack hbees they carry everywhere I go. Hard boiled eggs
are a great snack.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, what are you anti hard boiled dog?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
No, you're just soft on them. Ironically, I don't like
peeling them.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Yeah, I find that annoying yeels pack with my idiotic
attempt at I liked that a lot.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Soft on the hard boiled egg, well played it just
not really.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
It does take a minute to peel them, but so
you eat a Snicker's bar instead. Well, there's no helping
you then, and I give up.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
What I what I find depressing is I ride my bike,
my new bike, I go out for a bike, or
I do a bunch of miles and everything like that.
Really feel like I kicked my ass And then you
know you burned off like a hundred and eighty calories.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, like halfn don Katie want to bite the tuna.
Fish always love some tuna.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
If you take a hard boiled egg and put it
in tupperware and shake it up real good, it helps
get a lot of the cracks off and.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Makes it easier to peel.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Oh fact, thank thanks for that hard boiled egg life hack.
Right at the end of the hour, if you miss
a segment with other great facts like
Speaker 2 (36:21):
That get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty, and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
This is certainly about the tragic.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Death assassination political assassination of Charlie Kirk, but it is
also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It
is an attack on all of us. It is an
attack on the American experiment.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is an attack on our ideals.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We will never be able to solve all the other problems,
including the violence problems that people are worried about, if
we can't have a clash of ideas safely and securely,
even especially especially those ideas with which you disagree. That's
why this matters so much.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I can't imagine any position other than political violence is abhorrent.
It's just it doesn't make any sense to me. If
you're okay with the other side getting beaten down or killed,
you have not thought this through because it wouldn't end there.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It doesn't end there, right, right?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That was Governor Spencer Cox of Utah. To your point, Yeah,
to allow it against the other side, you are condoning
it against your side and have decided it's time for
open warfare, which is foolish, to say the very very least. Right,
(01:50):
So the assassin of Charlie Kirk has been apprehended. The
press conference happened recently. The salient facts follow. This is
Governor Cox once again.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We got him.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
On the evening of September eleventh, a family member of
Tyler Robinson reached out to a family friend who contacted
the Washington County Sheriff's Office with information that Robinson had
confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident.
Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson, who stated that
Robinson had become more political in recent years. The family
(02:30):
member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to
dinner prior to September tenth, and in the conversation with
another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU.
They talked about why they didn't like him and the
viewpoints that he had. The family member also stated Kirk
was full of hate and spreading hate.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Roommate who stated that his roommate, referring to Robinson, made
a joke on Discord. Investigators asked if he would show
them the messages on discord.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He opened it and showed several messages to.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Investigators and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen
as each message was shown by Robinson's roommate.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
These photos consisted of various.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Messages, including content of messages between the phone contact named
Tyler with an emoji icon and Robinson's roommate's device.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
The content of.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
These messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler, stating
a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point,
leaving the rifle in a bush, Messages related to visually
watching the area where a rifle was left, and a
message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel.
(03:50):
The messages also referred to engraving bullets and a mention
of a scope and the rifle being unique messages from
the content, Tyler also.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Mentioned that he had changed outfits.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
So dumb dumb comes up with a plan where I
heard people say it was very clever. The spot he
chose made it easy to exit to a parking lot
that was right by the interstate. I mean, like, so
you know, I thought out an escape plan until you
get home, and then I'm just gonna hope nobody catches on,
(04:26):
even though I've made posts about how much I hate
Charlie Cook and rifles and whatnot online.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I mean, so, I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Right right, and we may never know. The greater point
has just come together in my head. But before we
get to that, one more clip of the governor talking
about the shell casings and the engravings that we talked
about yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the area north of Campus Drive Road where the
suspect crossed over, you saw some of that in the
video that we released last night, consists of a grassy
area with trees. On the edge of the UVU campus,
investigators discovered a bolt action rifle wrapped in a dark
colored towel. The rifle was determined to be a Mauser
Model ninety eight thirty yacht six thirty six caliber bolt
(05:12):
action rifle. The rifle had a scope mounted on top
of it. Investigators noted inscriptions that had been engraved on
casings found with the rifle. Inscriptions on a fired casing
read notices, bulges, capital, wo, What's this question mark? Inscriptions
on the three unfired casings read hey fascist exclamation point
(05:37):
catch exclamation point up arrow symbol, right arrow and symbol,
and three down arrow symbols. A second unfired casing read oh,
bella chow bella chow bella chow chow chow. And a
third unfired casing read if you read this, you are
gay LMAO.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That one is.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Not quite as literate as the other ones, So hey
fascist catch is pretty easy to understand. The bella chaw
one is a song favored by resistance movements and revolutionary
anti capitalist partisans. So that's a fairly you know, scholarly
knowledge about these kind of movements for a guy whose
plan was all go home and hope they don't catch me.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
And I just looked up o w os it's just
an emoji of a surprised person.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So we will decode more of that as we go forward.
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It just came together in my head as I was
listening to the first clip we played to the governor
family members say he became more political, And what came
together in my head is how evil and dangerous it
is to politicize children and young people, and dictators have
(07:01):
known this. They've done it intentionally because they know how
pliable young people are, and they haven't developed their sense
of reasonable caution yet. But bear in mind, and we
don't know this young man's story, although it's probably very
similar to a lot of the other angry and violent
young activists we see on college campuses these days. It
(07:24):
is the avowed purpose of a lot of colleges and
universities and honestly some high school and elementary school teachers
to politicize everything. As we are discussing the last hour,
every class should be political, not just social sciences, but
English class should be political, Literature classes should be political, Mathematics,
(07:48):
computer science, engineering classes should be political.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
According to the neo Marxists, the radical left, they know
what they're doing. How does a young.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Dipstick like this guy get so angry political at that
age that he's willing to do something that horrific, Well,
it's because he's been indoctrinated over and over Cotton here constantly,
you know, depending on where he got his education, in
what shape it took, and he's.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Been convinced by these Marxist nut jobs that politics should
be at the center of everything you do. And Nick
Gillispie of Reason Magazine, they're a libertarian outfit. He's one
of the most prominent libertarians in America. Gillispie wrote this yesterday.
Remember that the genius of America at its best is
precisely that it is the place where politics doesn't have
(08:47):
to dominate every aspect of your life. Our national proposition
is that we are free to live peacefully however we want,
without permission or coercion. Politics should be the least important
part of our lives. Imagine saying that to a room
full of college kids. They would think, what are you
talking about? Politics should be the least important part of
(09:07):
our lives. But it has become a war of all
against all because its most fervent practitioners are constantly saying
that all of us must live this way or that way.
Don't just walk don't just walk away from the battlefield.
Refuse to legitimize it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Right like looking to government to solve every single issue
and problem we have as people is insane.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is predicated upon
squeezing politics into the smallest corner of our daily lives possible.
And we have education K through PhD screaming just the
opposite no, no, no, everything is political. The way a
stop sign is shaped has got something to do with
(09:52):
white supremacy. I mean everything is political.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
We actually have a great piece of humor on that topic.
Maybe we'll play that coming up. But yeah, politics and
radical left politics need to be at the center of everything,
and a lot of us James lindsay On had been
reacting to, wait a minute, you want to make decolonialism
centered basic mathematics?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What the ever you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But that's their proposition, and I think Nick Gillespie's has
highlighted it beautifully by expressing the opposite. I'm paraphrasing, but
there I read something not too long ago, very famous
englishman I can't remember who it was, but said it
used to be that an Englishman could go two weeks
without being reminded of or bumping up against his government. Yeah,
(10:39):
and now you can't get through an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I really like it all together.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Don't just walk away from the battlefield, refuse to legitimate
it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Hey, Karama, that's a hell of a fight, o, getting
governments intruded into freaking everything.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
All right, A quick word from our friends at Trust
and will you know I'm not going to discuss whether
or not picnic is.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
A racist term, right, just not Yeah, we're gonna play
the funny version of that. Everybody needs a smile, I think.
But you don't want to get together a trust and
or will an estate plan because you think it's going
to be a drag, or it's going to be hard,
or it's going to be super expensive. But you know
you have to do it so the people you care
about aren't just doomed to linksy an expensive legal battles,
(11:26):
bitter disputes, or the state deciding what happens to your
assets when you go.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
So get in touch with trust and Will dot com.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Yeah, so you can have all your important documents in
one place, bank level encryption. It's all set up to
be state specific in the laws in your state. With
the live customer support that you can get through chat,
phone or email, it's going to be real easy to
do and.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You can create and manage a custom estate plan starting
at one hundred and ninety nine dollars. Do I need
a trust or a will? What's the difference? They guide
you through all of that stuff, secure your assets and
protect your loved ones with trust and will get twenty
sent off on your estate plan documents by visiting trust
and will dot com slash armstrong Again, that's trust and
(12:07):
will dot com slash armstrong, trust and will dot com
slash armstrong. So I got breaking news that France is
sending some of their best jets to Poland. We should
update that story in a little bit because that is
still going on and still a really big deal. But
we've got this funny list of all the ridiculous things
that liberals have tried to cancel over the last few years,
(12:30):
which gets to them making everything about politics.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That and other stuff on the way, stay tuned, rong.
Why would I ever eat chocolate cake? There's no reason
for a grown man to ever eat a piece of
chocolate cake except that it's on the list of the
ten best things ever.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Yeah, but so I was at a dinner last night,
had chocolate cake there, so I ate the freaking thing,
felt horrible afterwards, probably gained ninety pounds Katie.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
How often do you eat chocolate cake? Though not very often?
But I will ever treat yourself, as they say, treat
yourself to me. Chocolate cake is the cherry on the
Sunday of life. Yes, that's pretty funny. Thank you. I'm
here all week speaking of funny. Enjoy this.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Liberals saying that Republicans and conservatives are sensitive and that
we're canceling everything is the biggest joke. You guys got
aunt Jemima Syrup rebranded to Pearl Milling Company. You pressured
them to remove a Native American lady from.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
A butter box.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
You made them remove a black chef from the cream
of Wheat box who was based off a real person.
You made it so Elmer Fudd can't carry his gun
in the newer cartoons. You got Eskimo Pies changed to
Eddie's Pies. Uncle Ben's Rice is no longer Uncle Ben's Rice.
Now it's just Ben's original he was everybody's. You got
(14:01):
mister potato Head changed to just potato Head to be
more gender inclusive.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
What that's pretty good. That does make you look crazy? Yeah,
I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We've received some wonderful, eloquent emails on the question and
answer of in the Way of the Horrible Murder of
Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
How do we carry on his message? How do we proceed?
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
And one part of that answer and I want to
get back into that next hour. But one part of
that answer is laugh at these people, mock them, point
out how ridiculous their claims and their demands can be
banded together with people like you. There's an old saying
that the one thing a dictator can't take is being
(14:54):
laughed at. I mean, you can yell at him, you
can protest, and they let you get away with fair
amount of that. You successfully mock the rigid dictators of
leftist America.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That's when you get them.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Speaking of being mocked. So we had a meeting yesterday.
We had a zoom meeting with a client. So Joe's
on the screen where he is. We're all in different
locations because it was long after the show. We're all
different locations, Me Johansen, and we're doing this zoom meeting.
And Joe sends me a text, Oh boy, please stop
(15:30):
smiling like that. Please, it's creeping me out.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What was that about? I can't. I'm not gonna say that.
You're no, you were aware this is being aired? Correct?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Were you so? Okay? Did I misinterpret that? I thought
you were talking about me? Were you not talking about me?
Let's assume I was.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
I would assume so because you've been constantly.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Worrying on your RBF.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to talk about. So
I have been working on my UH and I don't
have RBF. I have r mf resting, murdery face. I
look like I want to attack your just sitting walking
down the street in a meeting. Well, I'm perfectly happy.
I might be like it's nearly a static, but that's
just what my face looks like. So I've been practicing
(16:20):
this every single day, and I walked down the street
with my new face, and it's been been received very well.
My new face, I can I can actually tell that
I get a different reaction out of people. So during
the Zoom call yesterday, I was practicing it and I thought.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Maybe I had taken it too far.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Now I will say for the record, because you've put
me in such a strange VI, it was Hanson.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hanson was smiling too much. Now I'm done talking about it. Okay,
Well I thought it was me. That's why that's why
I brought it up. Okay, So it was good. No,
you absolutely were not. So I did I look normal
or did I look Did I look like I had gas? No, No,
it was good.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It was It was good because when you don't look
like a homicidal maniac, you look like you're bored to
death instead of the quietly attentive face that I've actually
worked on with one of my children, who is brilliant
but easily bored.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And yeah, no, you looked quietly attentive. That well well done?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
You know anything beyond I'm like angrily plotting against you.
That's what I'm trying to not look like.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
No, you're You're definitely on the north side of that
well done.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
How many people try to change their face at age
sixty like I'm making a concerted effort when I catch
myself just driving down the road. I'm not doing it
because I'm trying to get the muscles, because that's what
it is. It's muscle memory. Yes, I got the mirror
in my car pointed at my face now, so I
can constantly check my facial expression while I'm driving.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You've had for a head on collisions, but I wouldn't
worry about it.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Yes, but if I have a head on collision or
get rear into or whatever, I will approach the.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Driver asking for their insurance card with a pleasant look.
On my face. Honey, a pleasant, cheerful man just plowed
into our car. I'm fine, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Armstrong and Getty, Hey, I.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
Read that Starbucks is planning to renovate over one thousand
of its stores. They're going to make some big changes.
Is what some other chains had to say about it. First,
Panera Bread said good luck with the update, and Olive
Garden said, can't wait to see your new look. Then
Cracker Barrel said, are you out of your mine?
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I wonder what they're gonna do. I wonder if it's
got anything to do with the bathroom situation. That's just
the only reason is on my mind. They still struggle
with that in a lot of different places, almost people
taking over the bathrooms and washing themselves, and Starbucks doesn't
want to be kicking out homeless people because I got
in trouble for that.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Blah blah blah blah. Yeah, that's yeah, just woke doesn't work.
Doesn't work in the real world.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
So I know you're not a Starbucks, you guy. A
lot of Starbucks they have bathrooms, but there's no sink
in there or anything like that to wash your hands.
And the washing your hands place is kind of out
in public, so there's no you can't like really be
a homeless person going there and wash yourself.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Which is what they want to do, like you're at
a music festival.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, which is kind of gross because you got to
leave the bathroom and touch the run, know, all that stuff,
and then go out there and wash your hands.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
Yes, Katie, I had that experience for the first time recently,
where it was bathroom stalls and then like a communal sink,
and all of it was weird. And my husband Drew
felt really uncomfortable because a little girl came out of
the bathroom and he's like standing there washing his hands
next to her, and he's just like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
All of it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
But it's all as a response to they don't have
the freaking guts to say, hey, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Customers only.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, no junkies taking a bum bath in the bathroom.
This is our place, it's private property. We say, get out.
They don't have the guts to do that.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Different topic, because these stories, which are huge, kind of
got obliterated by the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You still got the.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Israel Hamas thing going on, right, Israel's clearing out Gaza,
and the United Nations just had a vote on declaring
a state of Palestine.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
The vote was one hundred and forty two to ten.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
The United States voted no, along with Israel, Argentina, Hungary,
and a couple other tiny little countries, but one hundred
and forty two to ten in favor of a state
of Palestine, which will never ever, one more ever happen ever.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Correct, the leadership hasn't wanted it unless it wipes out
Israel for three generations.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
And it's silly that the meaningless debating society they called
the UN continues to push this forward. Marco Rubio actually
traveling to Israel as a show of support because they
knew this vote was coming and they're expected to be
there the whole contentious debate around the Palestinian state. Marco
(21:17):
Rubio wanted to be there at the United States and
Israel standing against the idea of Palestinian state.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So there's that story.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Then you got the whole putin testing NATO like he
did the other day with drones in Poland. Here's some
of that story, as reported on CNN yesterday. What numbers
that seventy two.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
We don't have seventy two.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Okay, Well, so in case you don't know that, we
talked about it quite a bit the day that had
happened nineteen. I think as a number they've settled on
drones that went quite a ways into Poland. The thing
is that this is after many drones that had gone
into Poland, crossing a little bit here, crossing a little
bit there, and getting no reaction whatsoever, until finally Russia
(22:04):
sent nineteen drones, some of them as far as three
hundred kilometers inside of Poland. That's one hundred and eighty
miles to you and me. That's a long way. As
Ian Bremmer points out, that was no mistake of any kind.
That was a test to see if there would be
a response. Donald Tusk of Poland said, we wish that
the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
It wasn't, and we know it, okay. So the Russian
claim was that it's the Ukrainians fault. They used signal
jamming in our drones went off kilter, so it was
an accident, but authorities like Ian Bremer and Tusker saying
no way, okay.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Well, A reporter asked Trump about the reaction to that today,
this is what he said to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Russian drowning grusion into Poland.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Could have been a mistake, could have been a mistake,
but regardless, I'm not happy about anything happen to do
with that whole situation.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But hopefully it's going to come to an end.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
So he either felt the need to let Rush off
the hook, or he hasn't been paying attention to the
story and hasn't been updated, or I don't know which.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He's expressed. I'm not happy with this. I don't like
it several times. I don't like how hot it is
in August, but I'm not going to do anything about it.
I think we're down to the are you going to
do anything about a stage?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Sir?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Right.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So there's breaking news that France is sending some of
their fighter jets to Poland so that they could get
involved if they need to in shutting down any more
of these incursions as Russia tests and sees if NATO
will push back one hundred and eighty miles across the
(23:46):
borders quite a ways, and so there is talkie yesterday
among the European countries of establishing a I forgot the
exact term, as it ended in plus those like border
zone plus or something like that. The idea is that
this is our border plus. I think it was sixty miles.
You get within sixty miles of our border, and we
(24:07):
shoot you down starting today.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Right, Yeah, the idea being if you allow me to
swing my fist to within an inch of your nose,
because I haven't hit you in the nose, well, the
day I decide to break your nose, you'll never be
able to defend yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So, yeah, there's a buffer zone. But what do you
think Putin was up to.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I understand the whole testing NATO thing, but if the
test had failed, NATO doesn't shoot the drowned drones down
and they just get to fly that far into Poland
and then cross into Ukraine. Was his ultimate goal? Was
he going to attack Poland and try to take them
over while he's fighting in Ukraine? That seems like a
horrible idea.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, I doubt it. I just think he would.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
He's constantly calculating and recalculating NATO's will to oppose him
in a variety of ways, politically and militarily, and you
know it might affect the way they maneuver on the
ground or in the air. If NATO's response is very,
very soft, he would say to his generals, hey, go
ahead and fly through this airspace or pulllice maneuvers off
(25:11):
or whatever you.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Can because NATO isn't going to do anything about it.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I don't know specifically, though it could be partially this angle.
We have the clip now and this is what they
brought up on CNN yesterday.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
If I had speculate, I think they're kind of probing
testing how NATO responds. This drone warfare is the wave
of the future, and if I look at NATO's response,
it's good.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
There was a response.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
You don't wake up every morning seeing the Dutch defense
minister saying our F thirty fives were in the sky
downing Russian drones and NATO airspace.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
This is totally unprecedented.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
At the same time, to use F thirty five's most
expensive air platform in the world to take down these
really Iranian drones that Russia produces, very cheap, very easy
to make. That's not the most cost effective way to
do that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Right, and Putin knows that.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
So that's part of the whole Putin strategy, which he's
been doing in Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
For a long time.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Now is eventually you're gonna run out of that super
expensive equipment that you've got to shoot these down, and
you can't keep sending f Did you know the Dutch
had F thirty five's the best plane in the world.
Obviously they got them from US, But I didn't know
that the Dutch has F thirty fives and they can't
be having their best pilots with their best planes out
there shooting down drones.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean you can't do that endlessly. No, no, not endlessly.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I think it's probably good for training to put these
guys into actual hot you know, situations. But no, whether
it's you know, the F thirty fives are just the
Patriot anti missile systems.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I mean, we don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Unlimited stockpiles of the ordinance you use in those, so
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's not a good trend.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And to his point, in your point, you know, Putin
is thinking, hey, we're draining their stockpiles because they don't
have the manufacturing capacity up and running for warfare.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
By the way, we didn't talk about one of the
horrifying attacks. I think maybe because the Charlie Cook assassination
had happened bunch of old people in line to get there,
basically their social security checks there in Ukraine got obliterated
by a missile strike from Russia the other day, and
on purpose, because he knows what he's doing, old people
(27:21):
in line killed twenty five oldsters standing in line.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, I mean, what is that?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It was an unmistakably not military target. Yeah, it was
just killing civilians.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Horrifying.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Do you think Trump is reaching the end of the
road where he is going to do something sanctions arm Ukraine,
say you can start using these weapons deeper into Russian territory,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I read an account yesterday of the day before that
he had really strong armed the Europeans to wean themselves
from Russian oil and gas and quit screw and around
on that level, and he was also sending strong messages
to India.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
About that theme.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And one of the things that struck so he he
is openly pushing for We've got to get more forceful
with Putin. But one of my takeaways from that article was, oh,
that's right. The Europeans are still buying zillions of dollars
worth of Russian energy and financing Putin's war.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Machine. Are you kidding? And I know it's not.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Effortless to rearrange your energy, you know the sources of energy.
But a neighbor in your backyard is starting to do
invade countries. You gotta find a different way to do
it well. And you're on the cuspp of war with
that invader. Yeah, you can't be your financing.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
It was more than a billion dollars worth of oil
that Russia's old to European countries.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, it's crazy. Huh, don't watch. We don't listen to
what they say, watch what they do. I mean that's
true of everybody anyway.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
That's an update on both of those wars, which could
turn extra spicy any day. I think it's interesting that
Marco Rubio is going to be in Israel to stand
side by side with Nettan Yahoo, since we're the only
significant no vote on that whole Palestinian state thing. You
freaking phonies. It's like being a pacifist. It's just a
phony position. It makes you feel good about yourself and
(29:22):
you get to brag your other phony friends.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Like you're a good person. There's not going to be
a Palestinian state, are you? What are you even talking about.
I know what we could do.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We could get Jimmy Carter and Monock em Bagan and
Yasser Arafat and Bill Clinton, and we could all have
them sit down and come up with an agreement that
gives the Palestinian leadership virtually everything they've asked for. Oh
that's right, We've done that multiple times, and then they
reject it at the last second and go back to
(29:52):
militancy because they're militant Islamists that want to wipe out
Israel and all the Jews.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh right, I keep forgetting.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
So we got a bunch of other stuff, and an
update on the scumbag murderer that they caught and everything else.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Hooper has said that as soon as next year, users
will be able to book helicopters on the app.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I guess it's a good idea. That's a little worrying
to hear. I'm drunks.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Tend me to call me a helicopter. Hey, I get
chopper out of here. What would a helicopter cost to rent?
That's your level of rich. You got don't fly, you drive,
You've got fly coach, Then you've got fly first class,
then you've got fly private. Then you've got take a
(30:44):
helicopter to the airport to fly product. Those are your
levels of rich and then you own the jet right
own plane.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's your apex. Yes, that reminds me I got to
get my jets serviced. Anyway, what did it were? Wood
did it wear?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So I have a very carefully constructed and informative discussion
of how a couple of different foundations and their policies
led directly to that poor Ukrainian girl being murdered in Charlotte,
how that works and what can be done against it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But it's too damn serious. I'm not in the mood.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Got so that will be put in the refrigerator for
next hour or another day because it will remain incredibly important.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
But this instead, oh have to A bunch of people
have pointed out something Joe pointed out during commercials that
sometimes when I'm trying to say Charlie Kirk was assassinated,
I say Charlie Cook, who's also a conservative pundit. That
is somewhat controversial. Charlie Cook is alive. Charlie Kirk has
been assassinated, it's just a carl CW.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Cook remains among us. Yes, thank god, Yes, So blah
blah blah blah blah blah. Instead this are protein bars
actually good for you? Or are they just glorified candy bar?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
When I read the label, a lot of them they
did a great job of taking a regular candy bar,
putting a label on it that is like a natural
sort of color and maybe a stalk of wheat on
there or something. Yeah, and you fool me that instead
of a cartoon character, is a stalk of wheat that something?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Help me, right? And that's all it takes for a
lot of us. Yeah, you're so right.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
The long story short, and man, they milked this for
a lot of words. Long story short is a lot
of them have added sugar and a lot of them
are hyper process what's that? What's the term everybody's used
for a process ultra processed foods with all sorts of
(32:50):
ingredients you've never heard of in your life, A bunch
of added sugar, And look for ones that have as
little sugar as possible and as simple a list of
ingredients as possible.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And I've got a couple I like that are very
much that.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I went the other direction when I realized that these
energy bars I was eating, we basically just candy bars.
I just thought, what the hell, then I just get
a Snakers. I need a little pick me up energy.
I just eat a freaking Sninkers bar.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah. Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
But one of the other takeaways that I thought was
interesting is they talked to a handful of nutritionists and
they're all saying the same thing. You'd have to search
high and low to find an American who actually needs
more protein than they're getting.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Oh really, now that's interesting. We have a quite a
good protein rich diet available to us.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
So unless you're a vegan or somebody who's just had
a really really strenuous workout, you're probably find protein.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Well I didn't know that about protein. I knew that
about all your various vitamins and everything like that. I've
known that for many, many years. Unless you have an
extreme diet, you're getting the maximum your body can take
of almost all the vitamins anyway, any extra you take,
you're just being them out right.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So I think you know, the bottom line is what's
been the bottom line for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Avoid excessive sugar and added sugar, protein and fat stick
with you longer, satiate your hunger longer, so as long
as it's in reasonable amounts. You know, do that protein's good,
which you probably don't need much more than you're getting.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Look for natural ingredients and less sugar.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
My favorite thing I came across the other day, the
big giant study that said, and I had technical terms
for calorie surplus.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
If you take in more calories than you burn every day,
you gain weight. If you take in fewer calories than
you burn every day, you lose weight. The end, according
to some nutritionists, that's the end. So I just all
of them. I've just been trying to take in fewer
calories than I'm burning. That I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
So one of the nutritionists says, you might consider opting
for a different snack. It's just as portable and nutritious,
like grapes, banana, an apple, or yogurt with berries. Another
doctor suggests a handful of nuts and or tuna or
hard boiled eggs, which is why I carry a tuna
fish around with me, the whole thing, carry it by
(35:12):
the tail. Every time I'm hungry, I take a bite
out of it like I'm Gollum in the Lord of
the Rings.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
I have a delicious and low sugar. I have a
sack hbees they carry everywhere I go. Hard boiled eggs
are a great snack.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, what are you anti hard boiled dog?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
No, you're just soft on them. Ironically, I don't like
peeling them.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Yeah, I find that annoying yeels pack with my idiotic
attempt at I liked that a lot.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Soft on the hard boiled egg, well played it just
not really.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
It does take a minute to peel them, but so
you eat a Snicker's bar instead. Well, there's no helping
you then, and I give up.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
What I what I find depressing is I ride my bike,
my new bike, I go out for a bike, or
I do a bunch of miles and everything like that.
Really feel like I kicked my ass And then you
know you burned off like a hundred and eighty calories.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, like halfn don Katie want to bite the tuna.
Fish always love some tuna.
Speaker 7 (36:07):
If you take a hard boiled egg and put it
in tupperware and shake it up real good, it helps
get a lot of the cracks off and.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Makes it easier to peel.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Oh fact, thank thanks for that hard boiled egg life hack.
Right at the end of the hour, if you miss
