Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Jackie and he arms Yet from Studio ceas
in your It is a dimly lit room deeper than
the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications combound. And
(00:40):
today on Wednesday, we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The Sharpie Arpy Arpy U Yucky, the mighty sharpie that
Donald J.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Trump is wielding to craft a new age for the
United States. That's a cool echo effect you came up with.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks, Yeah, man, I was twiddling knobs right till showtime' I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Ah, you can't turn it off. That stupid thing doesn't work.
So what was a big AI thing yesterday, a big
gathering and get together with all the top AI people
in America. Well, it was.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
A handful of guys Larry Ellison and Sam Altman and
a banker from Softbak talking about a gigantic investment in
some new data centers.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Building the biggest computer in the world. The biggest computer
in the world.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Then, is when that's three quarters done, they're going to
start building a bigger one.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Than that. I heard Larry Elson say, and I just
heard this this morning. He said, with AI and the
current technology, the COVID pandemic couldn't happen. I thought, right,
I need that explain to me. How's how does that
get stopped by AI?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh gosh, I'm guessing obviously I'm neither an epidemiologist nor
a computer you are.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I thought you were all these years. I thought you're
an epidemiologist. You know, I dabble in viruses. So it's
a hobby. Come to that. It's more love than you know, profession.
But uh.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
The idea is that all the reports of these illnesses
would be fed into databases just as a matter of course,
and it would identify patterns immediately and say, whoa, we
have a pandemic. It's this contagious and blah blah blah.
It would probably also analyze, you know, the the sewer
systems where you find viruses, and just all the all
(02:34):
the dots that we connected so brutally slowly, partly you know,
coowtowing to the damn Chinese be connected instantaneously.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now I can believe that AI can come up with
a vaccine like lickety split compared to a human being,
probably soon. Yeah, I'll bet. Well that's something. I mean,
if that's true. If because it was just twenty th
was just a couple of years ago, and we're on
the cusp of technology that that couldn't happen, that's that's unbelievable. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, I'm always a little wary about who's selling what
to build ensusiasm. It's probably gonna take a little while,
but it's we're definitely on that road cancer treatments one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, interesting, Well I can't. You know. The problem is
that AI is a is a giant, overarching thing that
encompasses many, many, many every part of life. That's that's
why it's going to be bigger or than the Internet
or fire. According to the Google guy who was at
(03:37):
the inauguration, it's gonna be bigger to mankind than fire.
So it ain't gonna just be medicine stuff. So that'd
be great. It's gonna be I mean fantastic that AI
can catch COVID quickly and tell you got colon cancer
before the doctor figures it out. He ain't got no job,
and you're having sex with a robot, so I don't know. Yeah, well,
(03:57):
I don't know any port in a storm. Here's what's
going to happen with AI. I've seen it. I've had asion,
a vision quest or something. So on the day it's
Sam Altman and all his text genius buddies, Larry Els
and the bankers, they're all going to ask. All right, folks,
we've got it perfected. Here the one hundred spectacular, mind
(04:18):
blowing wonderful things AI can do. Let's start with number one,
and at that moment, like four guys with a grudge,
we'll launch computer viruses around the world that wipe it
all out. Wha, they'll have the use of AI as well.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Maybe it's North Korea, maybe it's Russians, maybe it's just
a Donald Trump's four hundred pound guy on his bed
in his parents' basement.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Who knows, right, And we are watching Henry's going through
all the Star Wars movies in order in order of
the story, not in order of them being made. Well,
we're watching some of those droid robots and man, they
look very similar to what Boston Dynamics is building. And
we all know with AI they're gonna be able to
(05:03):
I mean, that's going to be for real, Like next summer.
Oh yeah, those things out on the battlefield. So that
goes along with your cancer solving AI.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Picture every phase of warfare land, air, and sea, in space.
Now get rid of all the humans and repicture it
with robots.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For better or worse. Right, So if no humans are dying,
it's just a race to whoever runs out of money,
who can wreck each other's stuff the fastest, exactly, Well,
that gives us an advantage.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, China's pretty good at manufacturing, from AI to DEI.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
How about the fact that by clothes of business today,
the federal government has to have all your DEI employees
on a paid leave.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I know, it's spectacular. I am overjoyed. I'm over the moon.
I'm ecstatic, and I'm also acutely aware a couple of
recent decisions executive orders, pardons, whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Trump's ability to do fabulous things is going to be
limited only by his inability not to do dumb things.
And we'll just ride it as long as we can. Well,
and he often covers up the good things with something else.
You know, it gets all the news coveragement. Yeah, the DEI.
By close of business today, all DEI employees in the
(06:27):
federal government have to be unpaid. Leave the other parts
of the announcement. We can read it, you know, their verbiage,
but no language in any of the websites or the
paperwork or anything like that. None of that di I stuff,
and no like slippery you're sneaking in an inn Dei
language either allowed.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No humiliating struggle sessions where you have to confess your
white complicity and systemic racism at the CIA. For God's sake, anymore,
that's all gone, And hallelujah for people who couldn't understand
how anyone could vote for Trump. For a lot of people,
it was that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Four to who knows, eight or sixteen more years of
going down the Dei road to where it's just so
entrenched in every part of our government there's no digging
it out. Or it's over today three days.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
RULs and universities too even more insidious, perhaps, yeah, Or it's.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Over today three days into the Trump administration. That's a
big deal, right, although there's still a battle to be fought.
I've been reading about the various companies that have either
abandoned their DEI people and programs or are clinging to them,
like Costco. Notably and even you know, there are a
number of reporters who want to know better. They have
not gotten the word. They still think and the companies
still think di means we probably ought to have some
(07:43):
black people who work here. Well, yeah, you probably ought
to have some black people who work there, if they're
qualified for the jobs. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
DEI, diversity doesn't mean diversity. It means takeover. It's a
neo Marxist technique for calling you a racist till you
give up the reins of control. It mascarades as giving
people the racial equality or their rights.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a masquerade. DEI, wake up. You want diversity, fine,
I'm fine with that. DEI ate it. And I just
heard a thing where the governor of Illinois, Pritzker, he's
a monster, yes, is gearing up to fight the Trump
people when the deportations begin. Chicago is rumored to be
(08:31):
top of the list of getting illegals out, and they're
gonna double down and making sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Boy, there is gonna be a flight out of Illinois.
It's gonna make California look like Florida.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There are lots of lawsuits, lots and lots and lots
of lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Between the half wit communist who's the mayor of Chicago
which dominates Illinois politics, and the insane fat brands gender
promoting just Oh my cay's up monster, JD. Pritzker, My
heart bleeds for my home state. Why'd you have to
body shame him in all that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Land of Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I wish Lincoln could rise from the grave and put
a prairie whooppan on JB.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Prisker. Come here, fat boy and say how again? Save you?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
What for?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm gonna twist you or not she'd do this to
my stay here? Oh let me go, Prisker and me
crying another f bomb for no reason?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The rail splitter, that's what we need, more of that spirit.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Okay, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday, January twenty second,
the year twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting
we approve of this program.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Anybody who'd like to use AI to animate a Lincoln
whooping up on JB. Pritzker, I will pay a handsome
price for that video. All right, let's begin officially according
to the FCC rules and regulations, here we go leaping
into action at Mark.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I also say this.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
You go to Portland where they did where they wrapped
Belisa office is shot, police offices, nothing happened to anybody.
You go to Seattle where they took over a big
chunk of the city and people died. Portland, a lot
of people died where a minute, and you go. Also
take a look at Minneapolis, because I was there and
(10:15):
I watched it. If I didn't bring in the National Guard,
that city wouldn't even exist today. People were killed and
nobody went to jail. So these people have already served
a long period of time, and I made a decision
to give a pardon.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I absolutely what we've been calling for years for the
combination of political violence on all sides.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Will this get us closer to that? Maybe? Or are
we now all political violence goes? Maybe we're going that
direction exactly. And what aboutism rules the day? Man? Dang it,
dang it, dang it. D He's right though, I mean,
it's not an excuse for letting some of these people off.
But it what he said is true. A whole bunch
of people who did very similar things they didn't get
(11:03):
prosecuted because their politics were different. And some of them
did it night after night after night openly, but their
names proudly displayed, although they often covered their faces. Cowards.
How does the bag of male look? What's good? Strong?
Maybe you can start having AI weed through the mail
and pick out the good stuff if you willing to
(11:23):
give it a try while you're having sex with your
AI robot. Hey, good question on that? Would that be
infidelity if you got an AI robot? Just be so weird?
Wive's okay with that? Fine, let the robot do it.
Katie says, no, hard, No, you're not okay with your
(11:44):
husband having sex with an AI robot. It's not a human,
it's not a person.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That is bizarre on all exactly. It's not a sexual problem.
It's like if your husband danced.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
With the cat.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, hours at a time. That's it's not sexual. It's
that he's nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We need to have a further discussion about this. This
is an interesting vein, so maybe later here's something to
look forward to. Here's our text line four one five
two nine five k ftc.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Armstrong, what's up?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How you doing? How you doing? I want to have
that conversation later. The more I think about it, the
more interesting. It is as uh, they're going to have
to figure out fidelity, infidelity, marriage, all kinds of different
things around AI robots. We got it. We got to
have new standards for something that never existed before, specifically
(12:35):
sexpots or companion bots.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I guess yeah, wow, sorry, honey, I'd love to take
you out to dinner tonight, but I really I need
a heart to heart with my robot girl.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, you find your you find your husband talking to
the robot person more than you. She understands me better.
Here's your freedom. Lovely quote of the day from Victor Frankel.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Between stimulus and response, there is a space, and that
space is our power to choose our response. In our
response lies our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I think we all know a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Of people though that there is no space between stimulus
and response.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, I think for practically everybody, there's different situations. Right,
there's situations, or there's spurs, there's definitely space for response,
and then there's situations where there's very little space.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
When a tiger is rushing at you with its fangs bear,
there's very little time to choose our response and explore
our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I agree completely. That's an extreme example. But like if
a certain a hole you work with, you've already got
a you know, a headful esteem for before you even
see them when you walk around the corner, you might
not have as much space for contemplation should they say
a certain thing. I mean, it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
True, and to whatever extent you can move away from
what you're describing, you'll have a better life, no doubt,
which was Frankel's point, and no doubt, mail bag, I
wonder how you control that or increase the space, give
yourself more time. You can drop us a note mail
bag at Armstrong and get it dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This is Dennis frequent correspondent Dennis.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm watching the news and it's apparent a growing backlash
or AGB as I abbreviate.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It is the new.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Media talking point involving everything Trump does from his executive
order on the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Of the JA six pardons.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Every story starts with a growing backlash as right, It's
as bad as every story on COVID or other emergencies.
Also explained, the official response was due to an abundance
of caution or AOC.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's the lazy writers. I blamed. Heg Zeth got out
of committee. He's going to face the full vote. And
then there was an October surprise, if you will, that
came out yesterday with his former sister in law. We
can talk about that coming up.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
A growing backlash right against Pete Heggzeth. Right, John writes
re Elon's Nazi salute and votes. I'm so tired of
this nonsense. AOC is a moron. We pay attention to
her because she's hot. I'll pay attention to Katie Green.
She's hot, not a moron. My side wins, go away, losers,
(15:12):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The Nazi salute good lord? Oh, I know, I know,
so stupid. Let's see Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
On the topic of birthright citizenship of Poolo rights from
the San Jose Mercury News, California, San Francisco in twenty
one other state sue Trump's birthright citizenship order.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
How about they tend to their business instead of more virtue,
saying like this is right up there with renaming the
schools when they should have been reopening them during COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It's absolutely true. I want to get into this again later. Also,
what's the argument for birthright citizenship. Just Trump's against it,
so here for it. I mean, explain to me your argument.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, Polo goes on to address that argument, why is
there such opposition to get hering rid of it? The
fourteenth Amendment intended to ensure that former slaves were granted citizenship, period. Good,
But it was never intended to give citizenship to the
children of people entered the country illegally. That was an accident,
So let's reconsider it and talk about it as a policy.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just haven't heard the argument for why it must
stay in the constitution.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
On the topic of the Jay six pardons, we got
this one, dear loyal bootlickers of the realm, congratulations for
being named the grand wizards of the newly created Department
of Mixing the kool Aid. More trusted servants of King
Donald could not be asked for God or elon Musk
save the King. May the age of Ignorance reign. And
we got this on the other side of it because
we're not trumpy enough. Dear ang, you guys missed the
(16:40):
main point on the big story so often. I now
assume you're paid or controlled or just playing stupid, possibly both.
Three questions one answer. You cowards don't mention who was
EPP's scaffold commander who didn't get arrested Feds and many others.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
When it's a FED set up, everyone goes free.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You stupid cucks are defending the FEDS involved in the
jays X setup. Convictioners are wrong, full, very very low
IQ of you from Brian. Well, I'm not getting a check,
so I can only assume I'm stupid. I think you
We've eliminated the other possibilities, so stupid it is.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Here's some breaking news. Mister beast is going to try
and buy TikTok. That's interesting. Among other things we got
to talk about coming up Armstrong and getdy Okay, a
couple of things we got to get to. Uh, because
there's all kinds of news. I just saw this breaking news.
Trump's decision to pardon everyone around January sixth, the not
just the nonviolent people, was a decision made last minute
(17:36):
before the inauguration, That's what I guess. According to sources.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, it almost had to be because of the way
he had jd Vance and Pam Bondi out saying the
opposite only days prior.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Right, which is a bad position to put them in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They they have got to be thinking, oh my gosh,
this is good. At what it's going to be like,
This is gonna be a ride. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I want to get to the Pete Hegseth semi mini
scandal that they're trying to dig up before the vote
comes down on the Secretary defense. What else do we
want to get to? Oh, some new stats came out
on how little sex young people are happening getting back
to AI sex robots. It's it's extraordinary. If any other
(18:22):
beast had this graph curve on their reproduction, we'd be
worried about the you know, the the African elephant or
the honeybee or whatever that stopped mating. The world of
science would be going wild over it. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Then to kick off hour two, a rundown of the
executive orders so far and their significance, plus big new
pull out from the Wall Street Journal on what Americans
want and expect from Donald Jay's administration.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
It's pretty interesting. I want to hear this how this
is how CBS, I guess handled the Hegzef October surprise
around him becoming the second herry defense is dropped yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Pete Hegseth's former sister in law, Danielle Hegseth, the llegis
of the Defense Secretary Nominee was abusive toward his second wife, Samantha.
Danielle Hegseth claimed Samantha told her she once hid in
a closet for fear of her safety. Danielle Hegseth, who
was married to Hegseth's brother, also alleged Samantha had a
plan to get away from Hegseth by texting a safe
word to her if she needed help. During his confirmation hearing,
(19:25):
Hegseth denied any allegations of violence toward his former wives.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, before we get to the substance, I've got
to mention. All right, now, I see the name I'm
gonna memorize this, Nicole Killian. She has the weirdest, most
unnatural manner of speaking of anyone in media.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Nobody talks like that, Nicole. Why are you talking like that?
Are you a robot? She? Or robot? Okay, Joe with
the style that we'll get to the substance here. The
important part that they left out, as did The New
York Times, as did Politico, as did practically all mainstream media. Uh,
the fact that Hegxet's ex wife, this is the sister
(20:04):
they were quoting of the wife. Hess's wife is on
record denying these smears, says none of this happened, and
is willing to do any interviews about it. My understanding
is this is the ex wife of Hegsas' brother. Uh.
Which which person?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The former wife of Hegsas's brother who knew them years ago?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Okay, wow, so it's not even as close as I thought.
The the the allegations and exits actual ex wife, who's
willing to talk to anybody. CBS News with the weird voice,
you could go interviewer if you want watchy thing? Did
you have to hide in a closet? New York Times
could ask that too. Peter Baker went with big with
(20:52):
the ex sister in law. Okay, that's a little fudgy
then if it's what you just described to say sister
in law, because it leads me to believe what I believed.
Ex sister in law submits a sworn statement that heg
Zeth was abusive toward her. Okay, Well, the wife herself
has responded and said, I do not believe you're info
to be accurate. I've ce Seed my lawyer, there is
(21:13):
no physical abuse in my marriage, and she has stated
she's willing to do interviews about it. So even if
you would think, well, she's I don't know, there's a
name for this, a syndrome, some sort of abused woman
who's unwilling to speak up because she's still scattered whatever,
you still got to include that in the story. I mean,
that's a pretty interesting nugget that the person in question says, No,
(21:35):
he didn't. The resistance is getting us act back together.
How you are gonna bring down Trump this time? Come
on CBS and New York Times and everyone else. You
can't leave that out. I mean, that's grengoues. I just
all I want is you don't have to like go
into Trump world. You don't have to be pro Trump.
Just give people all of the information and let them
(21:57):
decide for themselves. For crying out loud, God, that's so weak.
Let's label this part of the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Jack still expects ethics from the bigfoot media.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I do. I don't understand how more people don't quit
at New York Times, CBS, every well, some people have
like Barry Weiss or whatever, they go on to great careers.
But I understand how more people quit. Don't quit, like
raise their hand in the big news meeting and saym
are we going to include the part where his ex
wife says, no, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Because they've graduated from journalism schools in the last fifteen
years having been taught that advocacy is why they have
the job.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You would have to believe that. To go along with that,
you have to believe that your role in journalism is
advocacy to pick a side and promote it. That's the
only way you can excuse this. If you go with that,
well then it's pretty easy to excuse No. No, no.
My goal is to make an argument for why Trump
anything Trump wants as bad and shoot it down. You
need to make an argument with your facts and leave
(22:54):
out our facts, and that's the way we'll do this, right,
Maybe that is the way we're going to do it
from here on. It. That's really frustrated. Yes, absolutely, what's happening.
So Hexeth did get out of a committee because there
is some speculation that he might not even do that
thirteen to twelve vote, and then at some point they're
going to schedule that on the House floor I don't
think it's going to be like Marco Rubio and ninety
(23:15):
nine nothing, with people giving him a standing ovation as
soon as he's a given the title. But we'll see.
I suspect he gets through.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It'll be a very close vote partisan, but we will
if we the Senate. I'm expecting to be a senator soon.
The Senate will defer to the President's wishes and say,
all right, he's your guy, give him a try.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I would love to be a US senator. I don't
think I would actually enjoy being a House member, but
I would love to be a US senator. I think
that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'd take the gig if it was offered out there.
Sounds good. The House, no, no, no, no, the Senate,
Oh absolutely, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah. House would be a tough call.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
They'd say, all right, now, you got to fundraise twenty
hours a day, and I'd be like, no, I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, well we're not going to give you a plumb committee.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, all right, I'll just go right to the people
like AOC she's my hero.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'll go on Fox News and say crazy s and
raise money that way. Yeah, I'll be a media star. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, I'm not going into your basement phone bank calling.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Old rich people ask them for money.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Congress Bengetti, Now I'd like to show you to the
fundraising center.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
No, I'm not going. They'd say, well, work if you want,
we're gonna primary you, and we're giving you no money.
From the Republican National Committee to Ryn, she'd be a
one term House member. I get the pension. Oh that
w was there? You go. Yeah, that's the other part
of this DEI story. That's so disappointing. But it's just
the way the freaking government works the whole. By five
(24:42):
point thirty today, all DEI employees and the federal government
must be unpaid leave. Oh okay, so they still get paid.
That's that's the first step. I hope. I hope. I
hope that ends. At some point. I want to hit
you with this real quick. Maybe we could go into
details later. Wall Street journals out with their best and
worst airlines of twenty twenty four. I see this list
every year and I kind of pay attention to it
(25:04):
and think I got to remember that, and then I realize, Okay,
I usually choose the airline that's going where I want
to go. At the time that's most appropriate for me.
That's pretty much how I choose my airlines, not based
on this. I don't I my flying. I don't fly
very much, but I don't usually end up in a
situation where I've got multiple options of going where I
want to go at the time I want to go
there anyway. The number one airline in America again and
(25:29):
it has been quite a few years out of the
last ten, is Delta, which I don't know if I've
ever flown Delta in my life. Delta took the crown
again the Wall Street Journal's seventeenth airline scorecards, standing out
in nearly every category. This is Delta's fourth consecutive win
in seventh and eight years. So if you care about
if you have the option of choosing different airlines, I
(25:51):
guess you go with Delta. Yeah. I fly Delta all
the time and they're great.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You have three groups of people as airline travelers, those
who are you know, quality of experienced sensitive, primarily schedule
sensitive as you are because you're so busy and price sensitive,
who will be flexible on quality of experience and schedule
as long as they get the low ticket.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
And so everybody's looking for something a little different. Yeah,
I don't need to. I would, I don't, I don't.
I will pay a little more for better experience, But yeah,
my schedule is usually I got to be there to
grandma on Grandpa's house with the kids, and then we
got to be back for school, and I just can't
fly whenever. I don't know if I've ever been in
a delta plane anyway, if you want to know how
else this goes in the ratings, Cellar Frontier Spirit placed
(26:34):
eighth an American Airlines finished seventh Frontier no windows, pilot's
wearing one of those leather helmets with goggles.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right, tumbleweeds blowing through the plane out of a Frontier
of aviation.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Right. Their metrics were on time arrivals, flight cancelations, delays
of forty five minutes or more, baggage handling, tarmac delays,
involuntary bumping. What is that? What's up the plane? Or
you as a passenger? No, you as a passenger, You
get bumped out of your seat. Sorry, we're over a book.
Get out? Oh I thought like somebody bumping into me.
(27:13):
The aisles are too narrow and the person going down
with their bag hits you. In the head.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I got bumped three times on that damn flight. No, no, no,
I mean getting heaved off here. Hey, speaking of the frontier,
have you watched that Mormons and Gunfights show that Craig
the Healthcare Guru is recommended on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I have watched no TV shows for fifteen years, roughly,
but yeah, I have heard about it. It sounds it sounds cool. Yeah,
what's a little grim? Sorry, I had to walk up
Joe's decided to walk out of the rent. Oh tell
it is boring. I gotta listen to this.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Uh no, I had to get something off the printer
over there in the corner of the studio.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Uh dirt. No, it just it looks like brutal and
dramatic and pain and suffering and hate and gunfire. Is
it supposed to be rarely in the mood for that
is supposed to be historically accurate? I have no idea
you're rarely in the mood for Mormon gunfights. I don't know.
I wake up in the in fid organstead. I don't know.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I just in my entertainment, I'd rather have something light
and like life affirming, or funny or musically impressive or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Hate and death and struggle. I just I don't know.
I spend all day on that. Enough enough of the hate,
death and struggle. The TV I will watch is this weekend.
I'm looking forward to watching the football games I'm gonna
get indeed.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And Prize Picks is the best, most fun way to
get in on the action win cash while watching the playoffs.
They have all sorts of interesting promotions too. For the
playoffs this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Here's one question, Will Patrick Mahomes throw for more than
two hundred and fifty three yards? No, is my guess,
unless they play a lot differently than they did last weekend.
Two hundred yards of total offense late in the fourth quarter.
I mean, that is embarrassing. But there are a lot
to numbers like that that you can choose for Price Picks.
You should download the app today and get involved. Yeah,
(29:05):
and they've got a game going on.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And the thing about Prize Picks, I mean, I could
give you some examples, but you'd have to know how
the game works. But the thing about Price Picks is
so easy to understand. I mean, it's almost entirely you
just pick more or less on player stat projections and
at least two players and up to several and you
can win up to a thousand times your money on
Prize Picks. But they also have flex play, so even
if your picks aren't perfect, one of your picks doesn't hit,
(29:28):
you can still cash out. So download the Prize Picks app.
Use the code Armstrong. Get fifty dollars instantly. When you
play your first five dollars lineup. You don't need to win,
you automatically get fifty just for playing five. That's the
Prize Picks app. The code Armstrong. Prize Picks run your game.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
So people aren't having sex anymore. We've got the graph
DEI is getting taken down by the Trump administration. The
language around that EO yesterday is pretty interesting, and a
whole bunch of other stuff. We've got Katie's headlines coming up.
Stay here, arm Strong. I didn't know what involved luntary
bumping was on airlines. We got this text involuntary bumping.
(30:05):
You're required to perform a seventies novel lead disco dance
to a village people's song. That's involuntary bumping. Hustle Wow.
I have one more question. Why is CNN keeps advertising
the heck out of Kobe, the making of a legend
a new TV series, and there's another one on Netflix
or something like that. What's what the Kobe hysteria thing
(30:27):
or enthusiasm? Do you have any idea? I feel like
he's a bigger deal now than he was when he
was playing. I don't know exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Okay, are we coming up on an anniversary? Didn't he
pass away in a February?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I can't one thing I would commit to memory. Oh,
let's figure out who's reporting what? Oh Early, that's fun.
It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Katie Oh yeah, Okay, So he passed away in January.
So maybe it's an anniversary thing.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Okay, And it's.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
The whole dying young thing you get devaulted to new
heights and are celebrated. I think it's a coping mechanism
we human beings have. Somebody gets robbed of like the
last half of their life, who we lionize them and
talk glowingly about them to protect ourselves from the fear
that it will happen to us.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Wow, look at you put in America on the couch.
That's good stuff. All right.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
We're gonna start with the Associated Press. You guys already
touched on this, but I love it so much. I
want to I want to do it anyway. Trump administration
directs all federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Staff to be put on leave. Yeah, that's awesome, and
it was gonna go screaming the other direction in a
Harris administration. I mean that's a significant difference.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And take your rainbow flag with you. Nobody wants it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yep. From the Free Beacon. Trump's State Department.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Tells embassys and outposts fly the stars and stripes only,
No more pride or BLM flags.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Wow. Certainly not lovely NBC News.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Trump's last minute decision to go big on January sixth
Pardons took many allies by surprise.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah. Well, obviously he had his damned vice president on
a Sunday talk show the weekend before, saying, oh no, no,
the violent people. No, they committed a crime and they
deserve to be punished. Way to hang him out to
dry Well and your attorney general.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Incoming attorney general and three major police organizations that endorse
Trump are out with statements today saying not cool.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah. From Apple News quote Elon Hitler.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Cryptocurrency launches in week of salute controversy.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Okay, here's something I just heard yesterday from another podcast,
so I'm stealing it from Eli Lake, who's fantastic. The
same people that are saying this is a Nazi salute
are the same people that wouldn't call any of the
college kids Nazis, who were, for instance, barring Jewish students
(33:10):
from going to class. So that's you're not a Nazi.
If you won't let a Jewish kid get to his class,
you are a Nazi. If you wave to the crowd
in a certain way, that's incite.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And that's how seriously these people should be taken back.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
From The New York Post speaking of college kids.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Jack, anti Israel protesters disrupt Columbia University class, sparking confrontation
between students.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, hunting Jews, not a Nazi waving to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Nazi.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Got it is utterly diseased.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yes, with the caveat that that was one weird wave.
He's just he's a he's an odd gentleman for variety reasons.
But that was a weird wave. Was it was more
I this arm I remember wave like that, But it
wasn't to nights. You do, I'll bet you do. Nobody's
ever called on it because it's nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
There's nothing to call Nazi straightened at your arm at
the moment you straighten your arm, Hey, I'm over here.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh yeah, sighile whatever. Every time you let the lift driver,
it's me you're looking for. You're doing a.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Nassy again with the nazism. Nazi please and the lift drivers.
First of color, you Nazi?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
From Forbes. Netflix raises prices.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
And the Internet is furious, so they're gonna start putting
advertisements in there.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yes, with advertisements.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Eighteen dollars a month without advertisements, twenty five dollars a
month for Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah, we're gonna be cutting some stuff in our household.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's just gotten completely outraged. Yeah. And then you gotta
keep tracking which ones you're still watching. Like, uh, my
son had his sleep over the other night and he
wanted to know where's Disney? Can you log me in?
And blah blah la hulu. I said, do you need
the Netflix pastor? And he said, now, we never watched Netflix.
I thought, okay, you're not watching it. I'm not watching it.
Why are we still paying for it? From CBS Cat mistakenly.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Left on a plane takes three trips covering over forty.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Five hundred miles. How can this happen?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And the only reason I picked this headline is because
the cat's name is Mittens.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Ah. I hope Mittens was on Delta where it was
a much more pleasant experience, the number one airline in America,
and I hope we had a window seat.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
And finally, the Babylon Bee neew some warns looters to
stay away from the fire zone.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And just rob your local stores as usual.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
That's just about perfect. What if our listeners sent us
a story from twenty twenty where Gaviy vetoed a very
very sensible law about fire preparedness because he said this
might encourage sprawl and it's important that we get people
to move into cities near public transportation. He's been anti
(35:59):
fired heard in this the whole time he's been in power,
and that whole trying to force us to take mass transit.
When will the Progressives ever give up on that? It
ain't gonna happen. No, no, but one percent of America
could get ahead in the world while taking mass transit.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The rest of us two time consumers. We got a
lot more on the way Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Jackie and he arms Yet from Studio ceas
in your It is a dimly lit room deeper than
the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications combound. And
(00:40):
today on Wednesday, we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
The Sharpie Arpy Arpy U Yucky, the mighty sharpie that
Donald J.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Trump is wielding to craft a new age for the
United States. That's a cool echo effect you came up with.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks, Yeah, man, I was twiddling knobs right till showtime' I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Ah, you can't turn it off. That stupid thing doesn't work.
So what was a big AI thing yesterday, a big
gathering and get together with all the top AI people
in America. Well, it was.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
A handful of guys Larry Ellison and Sam Altman and
a banker from Softbak talking about a gigantic investment in
some new data centers.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Building the biggest computer in the world. The biggest computer
in the world.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Then, is when that's three quarters done, they're going to
start building a bigger one.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Than that. I heard Larry Elson say, and I just
heard this this morning. He said, with AI and the
current technology, the COVID pandemic couldn't happen. I thought, right,
I need that explain to me. How's how does that
get stopped by AI?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh gosh, I'm guessing obviously I'm neither an epidemiologist nor
a computer you are.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I thought you were all these years. I thought you're
an epidemiologist. You know, I dabble in viruses. So it's
a hobby. Come to that. It's more love than you know, profession.
But uh.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
The idea is that all the reports of these illnesses
would be fed into databases just as a matter of course,
and it would identify patterns immediately and say, whoa, we
have a pandemic. It's this contagious and blah blah blah.
It would probably also analyze, you know, the the sewer
systems where you find viruses, and just all the all
(02:34):
the dots that we connected so brutally slowly, partly you know,
coowtowing to the damn Chinese be connected instantaneously.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now I can believe that AI can come up with
a vaccine like lickety split compared to a human being,
probably soon. Yeah, I'll bet. Well that's something. I mean,
if that's true. If because it was just twenty th
was just a couple of years ago, and we're on
the cusp of technology that that couldn't happen, that's that's unbelievable. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, I'm always a little wary about who's selling what
to build ensusiasm. It's probably gonna take a little while,
but it's we're definitely on that road cancer treatments one
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, interesting, Well I can't. You know. The problem is
that AI is a is a giant, overarching thing that
encompasses many, many, many every part of life. That's that's
why it's going to be bigger or than the Internet
or fire. According to the Google guy who was at
(03:37):
the inauguration, it's gonna be bigger to mankind than fire.
So it ain't gonna just be medicine stuff. So that'd
be great. It's gonna be I mean fantastic that AI
can catch COVID quickly and tell you got colon cancer
before the doctor figures it out. He ain't got no job,
and you're having sex with a robot, so I don't know. Yeah, well,
(03:57):
I don't know any port in a storm. Here's what's
going to happen with AI. I've seen it. I've had asion,
a vision quest or something. So on the day it's
Sam Altman and all his text genius buddies, Larry Els
and the bankers, they're all going to ask. All right, folks,
we've got it perfected. Here the one hundred spectacular, mind
(04:18):
blowing wonderful things AI can do. Let's start with number one,
and at that moment, like four guys with a grudge,
we'll launch computer viruses around the world that wipe it
all out. Wha, they'll have the use of AI as well.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Maybe it's North Korea, maybe it's Russians, maybe it's just
a Donald Trump's four hundred pound guy on his bed
in his parents' basement.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Who knows, right, And we are watching Henry's going through
all the Star Wars movies in order in order of
the story, not in order of them being made. Well,
we're watching some of those droid robots and man, they
look very similar to what Boston Dynamics is building. And
we all know with AI they're gonna be able to
(05:03):
I mean, that's going to be for real, Like next summer.
Oh yeah, those things out on the battlefield. So that
goes along with your cancer solving AI.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Picture every phase of warfare land, air, and sea, in space.
Now get rid of all the humans and repicture it
with robots.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
For better or worse. Right, So if no humans are dying,
it's just a race to whoever runs out of money,
who can wreck each other's stuff the fastest, exactly, Well,
that gives us an advantage.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, China's pretty good at manufacturing, from AI to DEI.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
How about the fact that by clothes of business today,
the federal government has to have all your DEI employees
on a paid leave.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I know, it's spectacular. I am overjoyed. I'm over the moon.
I'm ecstatic, and I'm also acutely aware a couple of
recent decisions executive orders, pardons, whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Trump's ability to do fabulous things is going to be
limited only by his inability not to do dumb things.
And we'll just ride it as long as we can. Well,
and he often covers up the good things with something else.
You know, it gets all the news coveragement. Yeah, the DEI.
By close of business today, all DEI employees in the
(06:27):
federal government have to be unpaid. Leave the other parts
of the announcement. We can read it, you know, their verbiage,
but no language in any of the websites or the
paperwork or anything like that. None of that di I stuff,
and no like slippery you're sneaking in an inn Dei
language either allowed.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No humiliating struggle sessions where you have to confess your
white complicity and systemic racism at the CIA. For God's sake, anymore,
that's all gone, And hallelujah for people who couldn't understand
how anyone could vote for Trump. For a lot of people,
it was that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Four to who knows, eight or sixteen more years of
going down the Dei road to where it's just so
entrenched in every part of our government there's no digging
it out. Or it's over today three days.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
RULs and universities too even more insidious, perhaps, yeah, Or it's.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Over today three days into the Trump administration. That's a
big deal, right, although there's still a battle to be fought.
I've been reading about the various companies that have either
abandoned their DEI people and programs or are clinging to them,
like Costco. Notably and even you know, there are a
number of reporters who want to know better. They have
not gotten the word. They still think and the companies
still think di means we probably ought to have some
(07:43):
black people who work here. Well, yeah, you probably ought
to have some black people who work there, if they're
qualified for the jobs. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
DEI, diversity doesn't mean diversity. It means takeover. It's a
neo Marxist technique for calling you a racist till you
give up the reins of control. It mascarades as giving
people the racial equality or their rights.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's a masquerade. DEI, wake up. You want diversity, fine,
I'm fine with that. DEI ate it. And I just
heard a thing where the governor of Illinois, Pritzker, he's
a monster, yes, is gearing up to fight the Trump
people when the deportations begin. Chicago is rumored to be
(08:31):
top of the list of getting illegals out, and they're
gonna double down and making sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Boy, there is gonna be a flight out of Illinois.
It's gonna make California look like Florida.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
There are lots of lawsuits, lots and lots and lots
of lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Between the half wit communist who's the mayor of Chicago
which dominates Illinois politics, and the insane fat brands gender
promoting just Oh my cay's up monster, JD. Pritzker, My
heart bleeds for my home state. Why'd you have to
body shame him in all that.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Land of Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I wish Lincoln could rise from the grave and put
a prairie whooppan on JB.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Prisker. Come here, fat boy and say how again? Save you?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
What for?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm gonna twist you or not she'd do this to
my stay here? Oh let me go, Prisker and me
crying another f bomb for no reason?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The rail splitter, that's what we need, more of that spirit.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Okay, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday, January twenty second,
the year twenty twenty five. We are armstrong in getting
we approve of this program.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Anybody who'd like to use AI to animate a Lincoln
whooping up on JB. Pritzker, I will pay a handsome
price for that video. All right, let's begin officially according
to the FCC rules and regulations, here we go leaping
into action at Mark.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I also say this.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
You go to Portland where they did where they wrapped
Belisa office is shot, police offices, nothing happened to anybody.
You go to Seattle where they took over a big
chunk of the city and people died. Portland, a lot
of people died where a minute, and you go. Also
take a look at Minneapolis, because I was there and
(10:15):
I watched it. If I didn't bring in the National Guard,
that city wouldn't even exist today. People were killed and
nobody went to jail. So these people have already served
a long period of time, and I made a decision
to give a pardon.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I absolutely what we've been calling for years for the
combination of political violence on all sides.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Will this get us closer to that? Maybe? Or are
we now all political violence goes? Maybe we're going that
direction exactly. And what aboutism rules the day? Man? Dang it,
dang it, dang it. D He's right though, I mean,
it's not an excuse for letting some of these people off.
But it what he said is true. A whole bunch
of people who did very similar things they didn't get
(11:03):
prosecuted because their politics were different. And some of them
did it night after night after night openly, but their
names proudly displayed, although they often covered their faces. Cowards.
How does the bag of male look? What's good? Strong?
Maybe you can start having AI weed through the mail
and pick out the good stuff if you willing to
(11:23):
give it a try while you're having sex with your
AI robot. Hey, good question on that? Would that be
infidelity if you got an AI robot? Just be so weird?
Wive's okay with that? Fine, let the robot do it.
Katie says, no, hard, No, you're not okay with your
(11:44):
husband having sex with an AI robot. It's not a human,
it's not a person.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That is bizarre on all exactly. It's not a sexual problem.
It's like if your husband danced.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
With the cat.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, hours at a time. That's it's not sexual. It's
that he's nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We need to have a further discussion about this. This
is an interesting vein, so maybe later here's something to
look forward to. Here's our text line four one five
two nine five k ftc.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Armstrong, what's up?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
How you doing? How you doing? I want to have
that conversation later. The more I think about it, the
more interesting. It is as uh, they're going to have
to figure out fidelity, infidelity, marriage, all kinds of different
things around AI robots. We got it. We got to
have new standards for something that never existed before, specifically
(12:35):
sexpots or companion bots.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I guess yeah, wow, sorry, honey, I'd love to take
you out to dinner tonight, but I really I need
a heart to heart with my robot girl.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, you find your you find your husband talking to
the robot person more than you. She understands me better.
Here's your freedom. Lovely quote of the day from Victor Frankel.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Between stimulus and response, there is a space, and that
space is our power to choose our response. In our
response lies our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I think we all know a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Of people though that there is no space between stimulus
and response.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Well, I think for practically everybody, there's different situations. Right,
there's situations, or there's spurs, there's definitely space for response,
and then there's situations where there's very little space.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
When a tiger is rushing at you with its fangs bear,
there's very little time to choose our response and explore
our growth and our freedom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I agree completely. That's an extreme example. But like if
a certain a hole you work with, you've already got
a you know, a headful esteem for before you even
see them when you walk around the corner, you might
not have as much space for contemplation should they say
a certain thing. I mean, it's absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
True, and to whatever extent you can move away from
what you're describing, you'll have a better life, no doubt,
which was Frankel's point, and no doubt, mail bag, I
wonder how you control that or increase the space, give
yourself more time. You can drop us a note mail
bag at Armstrong and get it dot com.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
This is Dennis frequent correspondent Dennis.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I'm watching the news and it's apparent a growing backlash
or AGB as I abbreviate.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It is the new.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Media talking point involving everything Trump does from his executive
order on the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Of the JA six pardons.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Every story starts with a growing backlash as right, It's
as bad as every story on COVID or other emergencies.
Also explained, the official response was due to an abundance
of caution or AOC.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's the lazy writers. I blamed. Heg Zeth got out
of committee. He's going to face the full vote. And
then there was an October surprise, if you will, that
came out yesterday with his former sister in law. We
can talk about that coming up.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
A growing backlash right against Pete Heggzeth. Right, John writes
re Elon's Nazi salute and votes. I'm so tired of
this nonsense. AOC is a moron. We pay attention to
her because she's hot. I'll pay attention to Katie Green.
She's hot, not a moron. My side wins, go away, losers,
(15:12):
Thank you, John.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The Nazi salute good lord? Oh, I know, I know,
so stupid. Let's see Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
On the topic of birthright citizenship of Poolo rights from
the San Jose Mercury News, California, San Francisco in twenty
one other state sue Trump's birthright citizenship order.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
How about they tend to their business instead of more virtue,
saying like this is right up there with renaming the
schools when they should have been reopening them during COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It's absolutely true. I want to get into this again later. Also,
what's the argument for birthright citizenship. Just Trump's against it,
so here for it. I mean, explain to me your argument.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, Polo goes on to address that argument, why is
there such opposition to get hering rid of it? The
fourteenth Amendment intended to ensure that former slaves were granted citizenship, period. Good,
But it was never intended to give citizenship to the
children of people entered the country illegally. That was an accident,
So let's reconsider it and talk about it as a policy.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just haven't heard the argument for why it must
stay in the constitution.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
On the topic of the Jay six pardons, we got
this one, dear loyal bootlickers of the realm, congratulations for
being named the grand wizards of the newly created Department
of Mixing the kool Aid. More trusted servants of King
Donald could not be asked for God or elon Musk
save the King. May the age of Ignorance reign. And
we got this on the other side of it because
we're not trumpy enough. Dear ang, you guys missed the
(16:40):
main point on the big story so often. I now
assume you're paid or controlled or just playing stupid, possibly both.
Three questions one answer. You cowards don't mention who was
EPP's scaffold commander who didn't get arrested Feds and many others.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
When it's a FED set up, everyone goes free.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You stupid cucks are defending the FEDS involved in the
jays X setup. Convictioners are wrong, full, very very low
IQ of you from Brian. Well, I'm not getting a check,
so I can only assume I'm stupid. I think you
We've eliminated the other possibilities, so stupid it is.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Here's some breaking news. Mister beast is going to try
and buy TikTok. That's interesting. Among other things we got
to talk about coming up Armstrong and getdy Okay, a
couple of things we got to get to. Uh, because
there's all kinds of news. I just saw this breaking news.
Trump's decision to pardon everyone around January sixth, the not
just the nonviolent people, was a decision made last minute
(17:36):
before the inauguration, That's what I guess. According to sources.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, it almost had to be because of the way
he had jd Vance and Pam Bondi out saying the
opposite only days prior.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Right, which is a bad position to put them in. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They they have got to be thinking, oh my gosh,
this is good. At what it's going to be like,
This is gonna be a ride. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I want to get to the Pete Hegseth semi mini
scandal that they're trying to dig up before the vote
comes down on the Secretary defense. What else do we
want to get to? Oh, some new stats came out
on how little sex young people are happening getting back
to AI sex robots. It's it's extraordinary. If any other
(18:22):
beast had this graph curve on their reproduction, we'd be
worried about the you know, the the African elephant or
the honeybee or whatever that stopped mating. The world of
science would be going wild over it. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Then to kick off hour two, a rundown of the
executive orders so far and their significance, plus big new
pull out from the Wall Street Journal on what Americans
want and expect from Donald Jay's administration.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
It's pretty interesting. I want to hear this how this
is how CBS, I guess handled the Hegzef October surprise
around him becoming the second herry defense is dropped yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Pete Hegseth's former sister in law, Danielle Hegseth, the llegis
of the Defense Secretary Nominee was abusive toward his second wife, Samantha.
Danielle Hegseth claimed Samantha told her she once hid in
a closet for fear of her safety. Danielle Hegseth, who
was married to Hegseth's brother, also alleged Samantha had a
plan to get away from Hegseth by texting a safe
word to her if she needed help. During his confirmation hearing,
(19:25):
Hegseth denied any allegations of violence toward his former wives.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, before we get to the substance, I've got
to mention. All right, now, I see the name I'm
gonna memorize this, Nicole Killian. She has the weirdest, most
unnatural manner of speaking of anyone in media.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Nobody talks like that, Nicole. Why are you talking like that?
Are you a robot? She? Or robot? Okay, Joe with
the style that we'll get to the substance here. The
important part that they left out, as did The New
York Times, as did Politico, as did practically all mainstream media. Uh,
the fact that Hegxet's ex wife, this is the sister
(20:04):
they were quoting of the wife. Hess's wife is on
record denying these smears, says none of this happened, and
is willing to do any interviews about it. My understanding
is this is the ex wife of Hegsas' brother. Uh.
Which which person?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
The former wife of Hegsas's brother who knew them years ago?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Okay, wow, so it's not even as close as I thought.
The the the allegations and exits actual ex wife, who's
willing to talk to anybody. CBS News with the weird voice,
you could go interviewer if you want watchy thing? Did
you have to hide in a closet? New York Times
could ask that too. Peter Baker went with big with
(20:52):
the ex sister in law. Okay, that's a little fudgy
then if it's what you just described to say sister
in law, because it leads me to believe what I believed.
Ex sister in law submits a sworn statement that heg
Zeth was abusive toward her. Okay, Well, the wife herself
has responded and said, I do not believe you're info
to be accurate. I've ce Seed my lawyer, there is
(21:13):
no physical abuse in my marriage, and she has stated
she's willing to do interviews about it. So even if
you would think, well, she's I don't know, there's a
name for this, a syndrome, some sort of abused woman
who's unwilling to speak up because she's still scattered whatever,
you still got to include that in the story. I mean,
that's a pretty interesting nugget that the person in question says, No,
(21:35):
he didn't. The resistance is getting us act back together.
How you are gonna bring down Trump this time? Come
on CBS and New York Times and everyone else. You
can't leave that out. I mean, that's grengoues. I just
all I want is you don't have to like go
into Trump world. You don't have to be pro Trump.
Just give people all of the information and let them
(21:57):
decide for themselves. For crying out loud, God, that's so weak.
Let's label this part of the podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Jack still expects ethics from the bigfoot media.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I do. I don't understand how more people don't quit
at New York Times, CBS, every well, some people have
like Barry Weiss or whatever, they go on to great careers.
But I understand how more people quit. Don't quit, like
raise their hand in the big news meeting and saym
are we going to include the part where his ex
wife says, no, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Because they've graduated from journalism schools in the last fifteen
years having been taught that advocacy is why they have
the job.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You would have to believe that. To go along with that,
you have to believe that your role in journalism is
advocacy to pick a side and promote it. That's the
only way you can excuse this. If you go with that,
well then it's pretty easy to excuse No. No, no.
My goal is to make an argument for why Trump
anything Trump wants as bad and shoot it down. You
need to make an argument with your facts and leave
(22:54):
out our facts, and that's the way we'll do this, right,
Maybe that is the way we're going to do it
from here on. It. That's really frustrated. Yes, absolutely, what's happening.
So Hexeth did get out of a committee because there
is some speculation that he might not even do that
thirteen to twelve vote, and then at some point they're
going to schedule that on the House floor I don't
think it's going to be like Marco Rubio and ninety
(23:15):
nine nothing, with people giving him a standing ovation as
soon as he's a given the title. But we'll see.
I suspect he gets through.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It'll be a very close vote partisan, but we will
if we the Senate. I'm expecting to be a senator soon.
The Senate will defer to the President's wishes and say,
all right, he's your guy, give him a try.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
I would love to be a US senator. I don't
think I would actually enjoy being a House member, but
I would love to be a US senator. I think
that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'd take the gig if it was offered out there.
Sounds good. The House, no, no, no, no, the Senate,
Oh absolutely, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah. House would be a tough call.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
They'd say, all right, now, you got to fundraise twenty
hours a day, and I'd be like, no, I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, well we're not going to give you a plumb committee.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yes, all right, I'll just go right to the people
like AOC she's my hero.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'll go on Fox News and say crazy s and
raise money that way. Yeah, I'll be a media star. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, I'm not going into your basement phone bank calling.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Old rich people ask them for money.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Congress Bengetti, Now I'd like to show you to the
fundraising center.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
No, I'm not going. They'd say, well, work if you want,
we're gonna primary you, and we're giving you no money.
From the Republican National Committee to Ryn, she'd be a
one term House member. I get the pension. Oh that
w was there? You go. Yeah, that's the other part
of this DEI story. That's so disappointing. But it's just
the way the freaking government works the whole. By five
(24:42):
point thirty today, all DEI employees and the federal government
must be unpaid leave. Oh okay, so they still get paid.
That's that's the first step. I hope. I hope. I
hope that ends. At some point. I want to hit
you with this real quick. Maybe we could go into
details later. Wall Street journals out with their best and
worst airlines of twenty twenty four. I see this list
every year and I kind of pay attention to it
(25:04):
and think I got to remember that, and then I realize, Okay,
I usually choose the airline that's going where I want
to go. At the time that's most appropriate for me.
That's pretty much how I choose my airlines, not based
on this. I don't I my flying. I don't fly
very much, but I don't usually end up in a
situation where I've got multiple options of going where I
want to go at the time I want to go
there anyway. The number one airline in America again and
(25:29):
it has been quite a few years out of the
last ten, is Delta, which I don't know if I've
ever flown Delta in my life. Delta took the crown
again the Wall Street Journal's seventeenth airline scorecards, standing out
in nearly every category. This is Delta's fourth consecutive win
in seventh and eight years. So if you care about
if you have the option of choosing different airlines, I
(25:51):
guess you go with Delta. Yeah. I fly Delta all
the time and they're great.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You have three groups of people as airline travelers, those
who are you know, quality of experienced sensitive, primarily schedule
sensitive as you are because you're so busy and price sensitive,
who will be flexible on quality of experience and schedule
as long as they get the low ticket.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
And so everybody's looking for something a little different. Yeah,
I don't need to. I would, I don't, I don't.
I will pay a little more for better experience, But yeah,
my schedule is usually I got to be there to
grandma on Grandpa's house with the kids, and then we
got to be back for school, and I just can't
fly whenever. I don't know if I've ever been in
a delta plane anyway, if you want to know how
else this goes in the ratings, Cellar Frontier Spirit placed
(26:34):
eighth an American Airlines finished seventh Frontier no windows, pilot's
wearing one of those leather helmets with goggles.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right, tumbleweeds blowing through the plane out of a Frontier
of aviation.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Right. Their metrics were on time arrivals, flight cancelations, delays
of forty five minutes or more, baggage handling, tarmac delays,
involuntary bumping. What is that? What's up the plane? Or
you as a passenger? No, you as a passenger, You
get bumped out of your seat. Sorry, we're over a book.
Get out? Oh I thought like somebody bumping into me.
(27:13):
The aisles are too narrow and the person going down
with their bag hits you. In the head.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I got bumped three times on that damn flight. No, no, no,
I mean getting heaved off here. Hey, speaking of the frontier,
have you watched that Mormons and Gunfights show that Craig
the Healthcare Guru is recommended on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I have watched no TV shows for fifteen years, roughly,
but yeah, I have heard about it. It sounds it sounds cool. Yeah,
what's a little grim? Sorry, I had to walk up
Joe's decided to walk out of the rent. Oh tell
it is boring. I gotta listen to this.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Uh no, I had to get something off the printer
over there in the corner of the studio.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Uh dirt. No, it just it looks like brutal and
dramatic and pain and suffering and hate and gunfire. Is
it supposed to be rarely in the mood for that
is supposed to be historically accurate? I have no idea
you're rarely in the mood for Mormon gunfights. I don't know.
I wake up in the in fid organstead. I don't know.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I just in my entertainment, I'd rather have something light
and like life affirming, or funny or musically impressive or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Hate and death and struggle. I just I don't know.
I spend all day on that. Enough enough of the hate,
death and struggle. The TV I will watch is this weekend.
I'm looking forward to watching the football games I'm gonna
get indeed.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And Prize Picks is the best, most fun way to
get in on the action win cash while watching the playoffs.
They have all sorts of interesting promotions too. For the
playoffs this weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Here's one question, Will Patrick Mahomes throw for more than
two hundred and fifty three yards? No, is my guess,
unless they play a lot differently than they did last weekend.
Two hundred yards of total offense late in the fourth quarter.
I mean, that is embarrassing. But there are a lot
to numbers like that that you can choose for Price Picks.
You should download the app today and get involved. Yeah,
(29:05):
and they've got a game going on.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And the thing about Prize Picks, I mean, I could
give you some examples, but you'd have to know how
the game works. But the thing about Price Picks is
so easy to understand. I mean, it's almost entirely you
just pick more or less on player stat projections and
at least two players and up to several and you
can win up to a thousand times your money on
Prize Picks. But they also have flex play, so even
if your picks aren't perfect, one of your picks doesn't hit,
(29:28):
you can still cash out. So download the Prize Picks app.
Use the code Armstrong. Get fifty dollars instantly. When you
play your first five dollars lineup. You don't need to win,
you automatically get fifty just for playing five. That's the
Prize Picks app. The code Armstrong. Prize Picks run your game.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
So people aren't having sex anymore. We've got the graph
DEI is getting taken down by the Trump administration. The
language around that EO yesterday is pretty interesting, and a
whole bunch of other stuff. We've got Katie's headlines coming up.
Stay here, arm Strong. I didn't know what involved luntary
bumping was on airlines. We got this text involuntary bumping.
(30:05):
You're required to perform a seventies novel lead disco dance
to a village people's song. That's involuntary bumping. Hustle Wow.
I have one more question. Why is CNN keeps advertising
the heck out of Kobe, the making of a legend
a new TV series, and there's another one on Netflix
or something like that. What's what the Kobe hysteria thing
(30:27):
or enthusiasm? Do you have any idea? I feel like
he's a bigger deal now than he was when he
was playing. I don't know exactly.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Okay, are we coming up on an anniversary? Didn't he
pass away in a February?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I can't one thing I would commit to memory. Oh,
let's figure out who's reporting what? Oh Early, that's fun.
It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Katie Oh yeah, Okay, So he passed away in January.
So maybe it's an anniversary thing.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Okay, And it's.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
The whole dying young thing you get devaulted to new
heights and are celebrated. I think it's a coping mechanism
we human beings have. Somebody gets robbed of like the
last half of their life, who we lionize them and
talk glowingly about them to protect ourselves from the fear
that it will happen to us.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Wow, look at you put in America on the couch.
That's good stuff. All right.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
We're gonna start with the Associated Press. You guys already
touched on this, but I love it so much. I
want to I want to do it anyway. Trump administration
directs all federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Staff to be put on leave. Yeah, that's awesome, and
it was gonna go screaming the other direction in a
Harris administration. I mean that's a significant difference.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
And take your rainbow flag with you. Nobody wants it.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yep. From the Free Beacon. Trump's State Department.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Tells embassys and outposts fly the stars and stripes only,
No more pride or BLM flags.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Wow. Certainly not lovely NBC News.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Trump's last minute decision to go big on January sixth
Pardons took many allies by surprise.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah. Well, obviously he had his damned vice president on
a Sunday talk show the weekend before, saying, oh no, no,
the violent people. No, they committed a crime and they
deserve to be punished. Way to hang him out to
dry Well and your attorney general.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Incoming attorney general and three major police organizations that endorse
Trump are out with statements today saying not cool.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah. From Apple News quote Elon Hitler.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Cryptocurrency launches in week of salute controversy.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Okay, here's something I just heard yesterday from another podcast,
so I'm stealing it from Eli Lake, who's fantastic. The
same people that are saying this is a Nazi salute
are the same people that wouldn't call any of the
college kids Nazis, who were, for instance, barring Jewish students
(33:10):
from going to class. So that's you're not a Nazi.
If you won't let a Jewish kid get to his class,
you are a Nazi. If you wave to the crowd
in a certain way, that's incite.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And that's how seriously these people should be taken back.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
From The New York Post speaking of college kids.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Jack, anti Israel protesters disrupt Columbia University class, sparking confrontation
between students.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, hunting Jews, not a Nazi waving to the crowd.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Nazi.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Got it is utterly diseased.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yes, with the caveat that that was one weird wave.
He's just he's a he's an odd gentleman for variety reasons.
But that was a weird wave. Was it was more
I this arm I remember wave like that, But it
wasn't to nights. You do, I'll bet you do. Nobody's
ever called on it because it's nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
There's nothing to call Nazi straightened at your arm at
the moment you straighten your arm, Hey, I'm over here.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Oh yeah, sighile whatever. Every time you let the lift driver,
it's me you're looking for. You're doing a.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Nassy again with the nazism. Nazi please and the lift drivers.
First of color, you Nazi?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
From Forbes. Netflix raises prices.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
And the Internet is furious, so they're gonna start putting
advertisements in there.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yes, with advertisements.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Eighteen dollars a month without advertisements, twenty five dollars a
month for Netflix.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah, we're gonna be cutting some stuff in our household.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's just gotten completely outraged. Yeah. And then you gotta
keep tracking which ones you're still watching. Like, uh, my
son had his sleep over the other night and he
wanted to know where's Disney? Can you log me in?
And blah blah la hulu. I said, do you need
the Netflix pastor? And he said, now, we never watched Netflix.
I thought, okay, you're not watching it. I'm not watching it.
Why are we still paying for it? From CBS Cat mistakenly.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Left on a plane takes three trips covering over forty.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Five hundred miles. How can this happen?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And the only reason I picked this headline is because
the cat's name is Mittens.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Ah. I hope Mittens was on Delta where it was
a much more pleasant experience, the number one airline in America,
and I hope we had a window seat.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
And finally, the Babylon Bee neew some warns looters to
stay away from the fire zone.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
And just rob your local stores as usual.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
That's just about perfect. What if our listeners sent us
a story from twenty twenty where Gaviy vetoed a very
very sensible law about fire preparedness because he said this
might encourage sprawl and it's important that we get people
to move into cities near public transportation. He's been anti
(35:59):
fired heard in this the whole time he's been in power,
and that whole trying to force us to take mass transit.
When will the Progressives ever give up on that? It
ain't gonna happen. No, no, but one percent of America
could get ahead in the world while taking mass transit.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
The rest of us two time consumers. We got a
lot more on the way Armstrong and Getty
