Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty Enough Key, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Who live from Studio c C Sigure Timly lit rooms
deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications,
cop Pound and hey y'all. On Friday, We're under the
tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Iron clad support, iron clad conditional, iron clad conditional temporaries,
iron clad conditional temporaries support unless.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You do something we don't like. Oh, you're talking about
the Israel time. I am indeed, sir. It's funny. I
get stary. Daniel's on the mine so much. Had trouble
remembering what we were talking about because she's so.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sexy, because I was taken in a bunch of coverage
of it. Man, it's the whole you see the world
through your prism of whether you hate Donald Trump so
much you can't see straight or not, or in turn,
or maybe E love in so much you can't see straight.
I don't feel like I'm in either one of those camps.
I was taking in a whole bunch of MSNBC coverage
(01:35):
of the Stormy Daniel's thing. And it would seem to me,
at least on their Morning Joe program, nobody there can
even conceive that this woman would try to extort money
out of a rich guy for sex. Why it just
doesn't even seem like that that would possibly be on
the table. Wow, which is so nuts to me. Yeah,
(01:56):
I just and we are not We're not this And
I've not worked in a situation that I'm about to describe.
But it could be that they have a very carefully
constructed philosophy of never challenging their listeners their viewers in
any way. But well, your preconceptions are enthusiasm ever, Okay,
(02:16):
but even the viewers feel that way. I mean, like,
I I fully think Donald Trump had a sex with
a porn star Cheeta on his wife. I'm not not
trying to deny that, but to act like he's a
bad guy and she's a good person. Do you have
to have a good person and a bad person in
this Now that's a weird childlike over simplification of the world. Obviously, Yeah,
(02:39):
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it either, and.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't Maybe you only live in your own head.
I really don't get wanting to be led by then
we'll say nos intellectually and never get a full understanding
of what's going on, but always being you know, the
always were frequently wrong, but never in doubt.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Crowd, I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I want to know what's happening, so I don't say
something that's clearly wrong or believe something that's clearly wrong.
So we read a fair chunks of the testimony yesterday
during the show, and our favorite part was finding out
that Stormy Daniels is an amateur paranormal investigator, woman of
(03:30):
many talents, a polymath if you will, and believed that
the home she had in Louisiana was haunted and that
a ghost had once held her boyfriend's head under the
water in the bathtub, trying.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
To kill him.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Good lord, And then discovered that a lot of the
noises and bumps that they were hearing in their home
they attributed to a ghost turned out to be a
quote very large opossum, a giant possum.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
According to the testimony. Now so then I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Flipping on him, as in DC this morning, and they
went to their legal andlist whoeveryone and she said, Stormy
Daniels was fantastic on the stand yesterday, never constantly standing
your ground.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And pushing back at all. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I thought, really her story about the giant possum and
the ghosts, and right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Oh yeah, that just went off exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The rest of the media is saying it was a
poop show and just a humiliation and why did they
have her on the stand, Why did the judge permit
her to testify at all?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Why do you let her go as far as he did.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The rest of the world to say those things, But
you know, the playbook is clear. When it goes the
other way, they'll be able to claim it was evil
doers who interceded in the process and cheated, which is
you know, something Trump does too.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I do.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It is kind of hard to hold in your head
what is the goal at various points because I think
they switch goals.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I think I'm media, meaner, the prosecution, everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, I think everybody switches goals from time to time.
Are we talking about the presidential election or are we
talking about the court case? And I think it goes
back and forth, or they get blended together or whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Was the.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Having Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Be there to make Trump look bad for the election,
or is that to help prove a point in the case.
There are many people who think it's the former choice, right,
and this has never been about getting a conviction.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
But what so you think that if the world hears
Donald Trump sleeps around, that's going to move the needle.
You think that's new information to some people out there.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I think it's a terrible criminal case, as I've made clear.
I also think it's a terrible political strategy. I think
it is going to convince a significant swath of America
that this charge turned out to be farcical. I guess
gott to assume they're all farcic. And there are serious
problems developing with the other cases too, in terms of
the way the FBI handled the investigation, and well you
(06:07):
way Jacksmith's behaving too. So it appears to be a
bit of a house of cards. You having served on
a couple of journeymar a lago of cards, if you will,
if you too, if.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
You got a woman up there.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So they made it clear that she has written and
directed one hundred and fifty porn movies or whatever. Yes,
And whether you think it's fair or not, I think
for most average people that paint you as a certain
sort of person. If saying all right, rollover is directing, Yes,
she did direct them.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yes, I can't see you're you? Who was that light?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But don't you think most regular people, I think probably
have a negative view of someone who's been in one
hundred and fifty porns um.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, a lot of people would. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Anyway, you combine that with the whole we thought there
were ghosts in the house, and one tried to draw
my boyfriend, but it turned out or was a possum, Yes,
giant possum, not a regular sized one, and a variety
of other things. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Doesn't that make her look like a crackpot a little crackpotty? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, and the one thing it absolutely does not even
conceivably make her is sexually naive and the sort of
person who would never use sex for money. I mean,
I can't get through it without laughing. It is therefore
laughable to me. The proof that it was a disaster
is the fact that they announced today they are no
(07:31):
longer gonna call McDougall the playmate.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, they've given up on that.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So why'd you do that because the porn star turned
out to do you more harm than good?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, clearly.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, And McDougall was in love with Trump, so I
don't know what she.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Has to say, and better looking than Stormy.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And that was absolutely a consensual, actual relationship. So I
don't see how that would be a bad thing for
I don't see how to see how that would Trump
hurt Trump at all. But and then you got to
get to the this is about election campaign finance fraud
or something. And then so Stormy had no knowledge of
the transaction really other than she was told she was
(08:12):
going to get one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, which
she never got. She says, Oh, her talking about Afnati
stealing from her is something?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, the hero remember when he was on the view
in a variety of shows getting standing ovations and widely
discussed as a possible presidential candidate standing ovations because he
was standing up for women against that awful Donald Trump.
When he was stealing from a broke single mom who
has no other way.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
To make a living.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, he's a monster. Hey he's in jail. Yeah, good,
what an unbelievable deal, that is. I do have to
mention this. I'm going to tell the story later. I
wrecked my motorcycle yesterday. I am in a lot of pain,
oh boy, And I'll have to tell that whole story yesterday,
or I'll have to tell the whole story later about
how that all went down.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah, wow, pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Huh? What's your pain on a scale of one to ten?
You gotta explain to me how that works. I actually
I saw a good chart. So yesterday when I was
at the er, they said, compared to the worst pain
you've ever had, which they never have told me that before.
The worst pain I've ever had, well, that was my
gollbladder attack, which all the nurses said was worse than childbirth.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So that just seems like a hell of a standard.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, if that's gonna be my ten, right, then
really bad pain has got to be like a sex Well,
and what if I've lived an incredibly fortunate life and
never had any pain greater than a sunburn? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
If I hadn't had the gallbladder attack, my worst pain
would have been I don't know what, but yeah, the ten.
You're right, So then my numbers changed completely. What good
(09:50):
does that do them?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah? I saw this chart once.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I wish I hadn't in front of me, but it
was like five is I'm always aware of it, but
I can easily do it. I'm doing Okay, that would
be much better. That makes more sense to me than Yeah,
make ten your worst pain.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
And go on the scale.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I said, Well, if I'm gonna go compared to my
gall ladder attack, I'll put this at like a four
or five, even though it really really hurts. Because on
that I was unable to speak and writhing on the floor. Yeah,
that's that's that's a ten. But but that ruins every other.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Pain I have in my life. Well, that's why that
other chart I'm talking about is so much a better idea.
I think we'd have a handle on this.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
For goodness sakes, I would say, for daily, put humans
on the moon. We've split the atom, and we haven't
figured out it's standardized way for people to say it.
I can hardly do what I'm trying to do. It
hurts so bad. That's a seven. I'm gonna do something
you're gonna hate. Oh, I'm gonna show you a picture
of my knee already showed this to Hanson. Oh yeah,
(10:49):
that's pretty bad. That's my knee, pretty scrapy. Well, but
that shape, that's all my as somebody smuggled a pineapple
into your knee. That's not the way your knee is
to be shaped.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Indeedmates my shoulder that hurts the most. Any Well, I'll
talk about that later.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
On walking around every day pain, This is the worst
I've ever had walking around every day pain.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That's the other thing with pain.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Are you talking about something that lasted for a couple
of minutes that was the most excruciating and they gave
me morphine or are you talking about I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I don't understand the pain chart.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And the most interesting thing I've learned about pain, as
I've dealt with quite a bit of it through my life,
is that if there is no fear, if you know
exactly what's causing it, you know it's not hurting you
per se.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
That helps a lot. It's just an annoyance.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, And that's why kids are so they go ape
poop when they get a shot because the shot hurts.
It often hurts pretty bad. But as an adult you're thinking,
all right, it's all be over in three seconds. All
right here, Like Henry got stung by a wasp the
other day. It was the first time for him and he,
you know, he didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But it feels like it could be fatal. Yeah, it
feels like something really bad has happened. A wasp sting
does hurt it. It's gonna last a couple of minutes
and the little fade away. You'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, anyway, how does mail bag look? Oh it's very amusing.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
We never started the show officially. Oh my goodness. Should
we do it or not? Do we get thrown an
FCC jail?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, we're late. Okay, we'll be next to Avenati. I'm
Jack Armstrong. He's Jogetti something something or other twenty twenty four,
blah blah blah Mark. According to experts, if Trump goes
to jail for violating his gag order, he will likely
just be locked.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Up for an hour or two behind the courtroom.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
In other words, Trump would be the first former president
to be given a timeout.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Trump came out after the trial yesterday and said the
judge is completely crooked. Well, if that doesn't violate the
gag go what I mean, if you're gonna let him
slide on the judges completely crooked, you don't have a
gag order. No, no, indeed, he just pulled the trigger.
Let's see what comes out the barrel. So mail bag
on the way text line is four one five two
nine five kftc.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Armstrongy bred.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Stevens in The New York Times calls Biden's move on
Israel his biggest blunder of his prior to the presidency,
and that is saying some so a nice balanced description
of the different points of view.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Can share that with you later, make you or help
you make up your own mind if you haven't already.
All sorts of stuff to squeeze into the segment. If
we can, we have a great freedom loving quote of
the day, a really strong mailbag. But first the Friday tradition.
It's a fond look back of the week.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That was. It's cow clips of the week with their
gluten allergies. How is the goat? One jumps for fire
at a time, Whips.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Of the week.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Boy. Scouts of America is changing its name, soon to
be known as Scouting America.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
US News and World Report names Utah the best state
in America workplace romances, where as American is apple pat.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I don't think we can solve almostess. I note we
can solve almostess. We're working expeditiously. What does that mean?
Though we're in very short order? We'll have What do
short order mean?
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Our two biggest government programs, social Security and medicare the.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Thing that seniors that matters to seniors the.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Most, are both headed towards insolvency.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Well the uh so the I mean again, some of
this stuff gets the they uh uh uh.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Here's a little ditty about using hermus Just.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Days after Columbia University called in the NYPD, the school
now canceling the main ceremony.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You see all these little gazas out there on campuses.
It's drawing property. There's not peaceful protest. It's against the law.
I thought this was about peace. What am I missing here?
These are degenerate savages.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
How I'm off some kind of a temporary ceasefire. I
kind of felt, man, that sounds too good to be true.
That's probably too good to be true.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So it's not over your red line yet, not yet.
So you did not meet with Kim Jong un. That's
what you're saying, no, I met with many, many world leaders.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Our constitution is much more important than jail. It's setting
and close.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
At times.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
Stormy Daniels appeared really quite tense. She testified Trump was
on the bed in his boxer shorts and t shirt.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Utterly irrelevant, orange turd. Forgive the pun straight from the horse's.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mouth to swim Trump, this is one of the low
moments in American history.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Hisiz, that's pretty good. Cow wow. Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's crazy how intervening events can kind of wipe from
your consciousness the big stories of Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Christine home her.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Dog, I mean, for instance, in Kim Jong Oun, of course,
her summit meeting with him, mailbag, I'm sorry I skip
the freedom loving quote of the day from Margaret Thatcher.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
At the time, moderate socialism was referred to as safe
socialism in Britain, and she said safe socialism. If it's safe,
it's not socialism. If it's socialism, it's not safe. Signposts
a socialism point downhill. The less freedom, less prosperity, more muddle,
more failure. If we follow them to their destination, they
will lead this nation into bankruptcy. And Yana Dana Da,
(16:36):
which is why Maggie is so hated by the modern
left in Britain's only no time for Mailbag, which is
too bad because we've got some good stuff, but.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
We also have hours left in the show. We do
many hours.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I was just reading comments that Hillary Clinton made yesterday
on MSNBC.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yes, the irony police are up on horseback, helmeted with
their nightsticks of flashing and the college kids are not
going to dig that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I heard comments about Trump and his crimes. Imagine trying
to hide campaign funds those legal fees.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I was just talking about how college kids today don't
have any idea what's going on in the world, have
no knowledge of history, wow, and don't know how any
idea what's going on in the Middle East, which I
thought was really interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
I don't think we have to do any explaining.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'm not gonna have to win away because this judge
is corrupt. He's a corrupt judge.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
This judge, what he did did and what tish rolling
was is a disgrace. Everybody saw what happened today. He's
a corrupt judge and he's totally conflicted. And I got
to get back on the campaign trail. I'm not supposed
to be here. We are so innocent. There's ever been
anything like it. Beat every single analyst. I'm innocent, and
(18:02):
I'm being held in this court with a corrupt judge
who's totally conflict. And take a look at his time, Flip.
It's a disgrace to the city of New York, to
the state of New York, and to the country, Thank
you very much.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
So there's one thing I know about Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
If he repeats something a bunch of times, that was
the message that he wanted to get out. He is
a sales guy, and so if he's got a thing
he wants to say, he says it over and over
and over again to make sure.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
It's not lost on anybody.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
M m.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
And he used the word corrupt what five times?
Speaker 11 (18:32):
Mmmm?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And the judge is going to use the word contempt
several times, which is precisely what Trump was hoping for. Yeah,
that was axon and right. Yeah, strategy. If he'd have
said it once, I'd have thought maybe he lost his temper.
But he did the Trump thing where I've got a
point I'm trying to sell here. I think he's in
his team figured out on the heels of the Stormy fiasco.
All right, the wind is in our sales. Now's the
(18:55):
time we do the big, the big stunt, if you
Will's over three days after the judge says, look, the
findes aren't working. You do this again, and I'm gonna
have to throw you in jail to save democracy or
something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Right, Trump comes out and calls him grow up five times. Yeah,
so that's a heck of a deal today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Colins expected to testify on Monday, although I don't know,
maybe Trump gets thrown in jail today.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Who knows, that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So the Stormy Daniels testimony, which we've been bringing you
as it unfolded, kind of secondhand because there's no cover,
there's no uh, electronic media. Obviously, our source has been
generally speaking the New York Times because they have a
reporter in the courtroom who's reporting stuff in more or
less real time. But and so no conservative outlet. They
(19:43):
at the New York Times. Just want you to keep
that in mind as we have been bringing you the
updates on what she said, how the cross examination went,
and that sort of thing. So here is Jonathan Turley,
Professor George Washington University, where George Washington is dressed up
like Hamas Harris because the little communist children did they
finally get the Kafia off of George Washington. That lasted
(20:05):
like way too many days. I do not know that
at any rate. Here's Jonathan Turley commenting on Stormy's testimony
and cross examination.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We'll start with thirty three.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
First, Michael, Well, just when you thought this trial could
get more bizarre, they called this former porn star to
the stand, and Trump's council objected repeatedly on good grounds
that her testimony is virtually entirely immaterial, the NDA is
not in dispute, that this was just an effort to
(20:36):
get lurid details, and the judge refused to listen to them.
He narrowed it, but not much. And what happened was
a dumpster fire. It was embarrassing. It really made the
judge look quite, you know, effeckless and if not farcical
in his own courtroom.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Reminded of our conversation with Judge Goodman, who could not
have been more critical yesterday of the judge in the
Trump case, Judge Murchon.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
When more from Turley, thirty.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Four The prosecutors then allowed a cross examination that they
knew would be devastating. But that's the important thing here.
This is exactly what the prosecutors expected. They coached her,
she admitted to that, So they just wanted to get
these lurid details out. And the question is why it
doesn't seem to be winning the case as much as
(21:25):
trying to win the election.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Dumpster fire judges feckless.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, not so much trying to win the cases win
the election, right, I've assumed that's the whole point of
this case all along.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
But you would hope the judge is not in on
the DA's plan. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If judges are that corrupt and ideological or screwed, yeah,
I mean, we can't have a justice system like that.
So that's what folks heard from us from Fox News,
and I would submit to you without fear of contradiction.
Jonathan Turley's one hundred percent right. Here's how you would
(22:09):
have taken it in if you consumed more mainstream media.
This is ABC News. Our old friend Aaron Katirski Clip thirty.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Donald Trump watched in rapt attention as his lawyer Susan
Necklace aggressively questions Stormy Daniels. Daniels pushed, right back, is
lawyer challenging the porn star. You have a lot of
experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real.
Daniels fired back. The sex in the films is very real,
she said, just like what happened to me in that room.
She added that if she were to fictionalize her encounter
(22:39):
with Trump, I would have written it to be a
lot better.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Oh, pluggy wise, cracking story.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Daniels and I you know, anytime you use language like
fired back, okay, that's a way to you know, portray
the way something was said.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But uh again, that is a way to characterize this
as if the trial is did they have sex or not?
The evidence is mounting up that they did have sex. Well, okay,
that's not the trial's about.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And if you doubt whether or not Trump or Stormy
head sex, I don't know who you are, Well it's
irrelevant anyway, and it's got.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Nothing to do with the case. But actually, yeah, I
was next time. Blah blah blah blah. What the hell
are you talking about? I know one more?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Lisa Rubin on MSNBC forty Storman Daniels is.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
The rare witness who's better on cross examination than she
is hondirect Willie. She really held her ground.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's an understatement against some withering attack by the defense.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, I will point out, because truth is our hallmark,
that there were actually a couple of commentators on MSNBC
who said, I'm not going with the narrative here.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I thought it was terrible. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
So Danny Sivalos in particular, And again, what are we
talking about? That's what I got to say in every conversation.
Are we talking about whether or not they had sex?
Or are we talking about the trial? Or are we
talking about whether or not this looks bad for the public.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
For the election? Right right?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And honestly, well, yeah, I'm focusing on some of the
legal matters partly because I think this trial is so
dangerous to the republic, this sort of law fair against
the candidate. As I've pointed out, there are plausibly easily
a dozen big city das where all of these big
(24:28):
time politicians spend a lot of time in those cities,
do business there, give speeches there, et cetera. Who could
cook up a case as plausible as this one? This
one is not very plausible either. But if we start
doing that, hey, look, we could probably get him into
court for four or five weeks. If we charge him
with this. We'll never get a conviction. But that's not
the point. If we start down that road. Oh, God
(24:51):
and Alexander Hamilton help us. Oh, that is something definitely
to be concerned about. But as to the did they
or didn't they have sex? I have a feeling it's
going to be like when they ask Christians about his
belief in God. Uh, you ask most evangelicals to Trump.
Is Trump a real, actual Christian Bible believing No, No,
absolutely not. I don't think he's name. Well, they're not
fooled by that, did They just think he you know,
(25:14):
he gets the right judges and everything like that. I'll
bet when we start hearing interviews from the jury when
this whole trial is over, they're all gonna say, well,
of course they had sex. That was never a question
in my mind, right right, and that it's more or less.
And even if they didn't, the NDA has still been stipulated,
the non disclosure right. So that guy that testified earlier
(25:35):
in the week, who puts together these deals for people
who live exciting lives like Charlie Sheen and Hulk Hogan
and Donald Trump said that he's put together these deals
when people did have sex or didn't have sex, because
sometimes you know, in case somebody's gonna claim something, you
pay him to not talk about anything, right the very
week they're about to cast you in the big show.
You don't want some scuttle butt happenings, So we'll pay
(25:57):
somebody a few bucks. So even if they didn't have sex,
it doesn't make any difference to the case.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So you got that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Also, there was some testimony at some point in the day,
and I didn't read the specifics of this, where it
became clear she'd had conversations about we got to get
this done because they assumed Trump was gonna lose, And
my only leverage to get any money out of this
is prior to November twenty sixteen, before the election, because
once he loses, nobody will care.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
So, I mean, if that's not money focused, I don't
know what is right.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, clearly, I mean to the point of do you
feel bad you even have to say it again? The
fact that they've canceled having the Playboy playmate as a
witness means they didn't think Stormy went well. You know,
it's funny. I referenced to Alexander Hamilton a moment ago.
(26:51):
I probably had him in the back of my mind.
Hamilton no longer the hottest ticket in New York for
tourists tech. What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
The Trump trial?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
People are this one guy they profile in the journal
left his hotel room at four thirty am and waited
for hours in line. Gotta tell you this legacy. I'd
pay quite a bit to be in there and watch that. Yeah,
and but imagine the luck of the draw. Instead of
getting the assistant to the accountant of the Trump organization,
(27:20):
who says and after the check was signed, I would
process it and send it to the bank instead of her.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You get to Tom Daniels, by the way, on that.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So, some sort of secretary or something did testify yesterday,
and she went on and about how she loves Donald Trump,
she loved working for Donald Trump. She was just trying
to establish the chain of command of the checks and
all that sort of stuff. But she went on and
on about how she thought Trump was a great president
and she loved him. So if there was any attempt
to build a Trump is awful to all women narrative
(27:53):
in the judge's mind. You know that that helped Trump
with that that commentary. Yeah, she unleashed a good and
she said something to the effect of the man you
people talk about has no resemblance to the man I know.
That's really interesting. Yeah, yeah, so we'll see how it goes.
What what a what a dumpster fire judge?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
He's a corrupt judge. He's a corrupt judge. To be
held in this quarter with a corrupt judge.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Glad you played that, Michael, because we can't lose track
of the fact that that is hanging out there.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Trump is going to be in the detention hall. How
is the judge going to handle that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So we've got that and Cohen on Monday, and oh,
like I've been saying, if if they if they got
that prepared to cross examine Stormy, who doesn't really matter
to the case. God, They've got who knows what they've
got to talk about with Cohen one day. This would
be tough to do. We need to come up with
something like a comprehensive list of the number of people
(28:55):
and institutions and policies. And that became so completely unhinged
because of Trump and their hatred of them. They did
indefensible things. I mean, we can start with keeping the
schools closed just because Trump said we should open them
in the face of all evidence from around the world.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
That is a mortal sin. That is, that should be
a capital crime.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
And so many high level journalists abandoning their profession. Really
the FBI page and what's his face? Trump derangement syndrome
is a real thing. Yes, it absolutely is. Yes, Trump
is so dangerous. I'm going to abandon every principle I've
ever held and be utterly dishonest and damaged children, millions
(29:41):
of children, not just a few millions. And you crush
the economy. Let's see what else can we do? Pervert
the legal system and turn it into a political weapon. Yes, yes,
that's what we'll do. And he is a whole bunch
of the things they claim he is. But you can't
lose sight of what's true and what's not in the
midst of that. Be careful, ye who would fight monsters
(30:03):
that you not become a monster yourself.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, there's some quote about the devil. If you could
change all the laws to get the devil, would it
be worth it or something like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I love that quote.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well maybe we'll come up with that and it's like,
you know, the devil one if you do that or
something right exactly. Yeah, we've got almost said Stormy's headlines.
I'm sorry, Katie, I don't know. I was in a
motorcycle wreck. My head bounced off the pavement.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
So give motorcycle the motorcycle wreck as soon to be
the least of your worries.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Jack. Oh oh, another head injury coming down the line.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Katie Green with our headlines next. They just got a
text somebody happy we're back on kt in Seattle area.
So cool, what a great radio station. And happy to
be on in the morning again.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Oh heck yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Greetings to everybody up there, including my kid little bonus
mail bag, just because we have a minute. The Stormy
Daniels testimony that she's an amateur paranormal investigator based on
the haunted house she lived in New Orleans, which turned
out to be not haunted, but have a quote giant
possum in the attic. I want to know how big
(31:22):
the possum was. You can't tell me giant possum and
not give me dimensions. I'd like to know more about
how long she went on with her friends about the
ghosts and spirits.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
In her house before they figured out it was a possible.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
A couple of emails I want to share with you,
this one from Robert at the topic marsupial madness. Oh guys,
somewhere in the country side, there's an impossum thinking, how
the hell did I get dragged into this? I mean
once they figured out what Once I figured out what
kind of madhouse I was in, I made my way
to Britney Spears Place or some peace and quiet. Yes,
the possum would be a hostile witness. And then Tom
(31:55):
from SoCal Tom the only thing missing from yesterday's trial
fiasco is Trump coming out after the proceedings and saying
you can just grab them by the possum. So somebody
said the judge doesn't count for the gag order. You
can't say anything about the jury or witnesses. You can
say anything you want about the judge.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I know, you can't go after his family or the
family's the If you know, nail that down text line
four one KFTC.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what? It's the lead
story with Katie Green.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
Katie alrighty, well, thank you guys. We will start with
ABC News. Michael Cohen expected to testify Monday. According to sources,
that is going to be spectacular.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I was just reading somebody who watched his previous testimony,
because he's testified a lot, and that he is not
likely to hold up as well as Stormy Daniels under
withering criticism. Well, he's a disbarred serial perjurer and a combative,
half wit mobster, he says, who says me you have
(32:58):
with Okay?
Speaker 11 (33:00):
From NBC News, Defiant Net and Yahoo says Israel can
quote stand alone after Biden threat to withhold weapons.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, he said, we'll stand alone if we have to,
and we'll fight with our fingernails if we have to.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
From the Associated Press, Robert F.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Kennedy Junior challenges Donald Trump to debate at Libertarian convention.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Biden suggested he might debate yesterday. Did you see that
somebody yelled how about a debate? And he said, set
it up? So, of course, he says all kinds of stuff. Yeah, yeah, Well,
I suspect what will happen at this point well, as
Mark Alpernan is writing, Yes, David thinking is now he's
far enough behind. He needs a game changing moment, and
there aren't a lot of those in an election, So
(33:47):
he might have to debate to try to hit a
home run, Well, they will have to jab him with
a dose of the good stuff that you probably shouldn't
give to a.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Man that old. From Fox News.
Speaker 11 (33:57):
Anti Israel teen sixteen years old arrested for defacing World
War One memorial in New York after father turns him in. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I love that story.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Dad turned in his own kid because no, you ain't
doing that, and I ain't putting up with that. Did
you see Mary Mayor Eric Adams put out five thousand
dollars of his own money.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I did say add to the reward on catching whoever
did that. Yeah, yeah, good for you, dad. I wouldn't
do that. I would absolutely do that. Yep.
Speaker 11 (34:25):
For the Washington Post, Apple apologizes for iPad ad after blowback.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I watched that.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
What's the hubbub? Oh, the hubbub, sir, It's it's a
terrible ad. It's an offense against humankind. What we don't
really have time to go into it, but yeah, it's
an ad for the super thin new iPad, and it
shows a bunch of musical instruments and paints and paint
brushes getting crushed like they're.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
In a crusher being destroyed. Could have been waymit. Okay,
people upset.
Speaker 11 (34:54):
Because they destroyed perfectly good art supplies.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Much set okay.
Speaker 11 (34:59):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Stormy Daniels offers hush money
to courtroom sketch artists to please stop drawing her.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Right, Yes, the sketch artist clearly hates Stormy Daniels because
those are some unflattering charcoal representations. Yeah, on a purely
physical level, she is a lovely, almost fifty year old woman,
very attracted.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Not in the charcoal drawings, she's not. She's a I'm goblin,
a monster.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I know Trump called her horse face, but you don't
need to play horse sound effects whenever we talk about her. Yeah, Michael,
it's disrespectful. Do better, all right, be better.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
She's an artist, armstrong and getdy,
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and

tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Iron clad support, iron clad conditional, iron clad conditional temporaries,
iron clad conditional temporaries support unless.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You do something we don't like. Oh, you're talking about
the Israel time. I am indeed, sir. It's funny. I
get stary. Daniel's on the mine so much. Had trouble
remembering what we were talking about because she's so.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sexy, because I was taken in a bunch of coverage
of it. Man, it's the whole you see the world
through your prism of whether you hate Donald Trump so
much you can't see straight or not, or in turn,
or maybe E love in so much you can't see straight.
I don't feel like I'm in either one of those camps.
I was taking in a whole bunch of MSNBC coverage
(01:35):
of the Stormy Daniel's thing. And it would seem to me,
at least on their Morning Joe program, nobody there can
even conceive that this woman would try to extort money
out of a rich guy for sex. Why it just
doesn't even seem like that that would possibly be on
the table. Wow, which is so nuts to me. Yeah,
(01:56):
I just and we are not We're not this And
I've not worked in a situation that I'm about to describe.
But it could be that they have a very carefully
constructed philosophy of never challenging their listeners their viewers in
any way. But well, your preconceptions are enthusiasm ever, Okay,
(02:16):
but even the viewers feel that way. I mean, like,
I I fully think Donald Trump had a sex with
a porn star Cheeta on his wife. I'm not not
trying to deny that, but to act like he's a
bad guy and she's a good person. Do you have
to have a good person and a bad person in
this Now that's a weird childlike over simplification of the world. Obviously, Yeah,
(02:39):
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it either, and.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't Maybe you only live in your own head.
I really don't get wanting to be led by then
we'll say nos intellectually and never get a full understanding
of what's going on, but always being you know, the
always were frequently wrong, but never in doubt.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Crowd, I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I want to know what's happening, so I don't say
something that's clearly wrong or believe something that's clearly wrong.
So we read a fair chunks of the testimony yesterday
during the show, and our favorite part was finding out
that Stormy Daniels is an amateur paranormal investigator, woman of
(03:30):
many talents, a polymath if you will, and believed that
the home she had in Louisiana was haunted and that
a ghost had once held her boyfriend's head under the
water in the bathtub, trying.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
To kill him.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Good lord, And then discovered that a lot of the
noises and bumps that they were hearing in their home
they attributed to a ghost turned out to be a
quote very large opossum, a giant possum.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
According to the testimony. Now so then I'm.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Flipping on him, as in DC this morning, and they
went to their legal andlist whoeveryone and she said, Stormy
Daniels was fantastic on the stand yesterday, never constantly standing
your ground.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And pushing back at all. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I thought, really her story about the giant possum and
the ghosts, and right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Oh yeah, that just went off exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The rest of the media is saying it was a
poop show and just a humiliation and why did they
have her on the stand, Why did the judge permit
her to testify at all?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Why do you let her go as far as he did.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The rest of the world to say those things, But
you know, the playbook is clear. When it goes the
other way, they'll be able to claim it was evil
doers who interceded in the process and cheated, which is
you know, something Trump does too.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I do.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It is kind of hard to hold in your head
what is the goal at various points because I think
they switch goals.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I think I'm media, meaner, the prosecution, everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, I think everybody switches goals from time to time.
Are we talking about the presidential election or are we
talking about the court case? And I think it goes
back and forth, or they get blended together or whatever.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Was the.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Having Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Be there to make Trump look bad for the election,
or is that to help prove a point in the case.
There are many people who think it's the former choice, right,
and this has never been about getting a conviction.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
But what so you think that if the world hears
Donald Trump sleeps around, that's going to move the needle.
You think that's new information to some people out there.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I think it's a terrible criminal case, as I've made clear.
I also think it's a terrible political strategy. I think
it is going to convince a significant swath of America
that this charge turned out to be farcical. I guess
gott to assume they're all farcic. And there are serious
problems developing with the other cases too, in terms of
the way the FBI handled the investigation, and well you
(06:07):
way Jacksmith's behaving too. So it appears to be a
bit of a house of cards. You having served on
a couple of journeymar a lago of cards, if you will,
if you too, if.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
You got a woman up there.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So they made it clear that she has written and
directed one hundred and fifty porn movies or whatever. Yes,
And whether you think it's fair or not, I think
for most average people that paint you as a certain
sort of person. If saying all right, rollover is directing, Yes,
she did direct them.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yes, I can't see you're you? Who was that light?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But don't you think most regular people, I think probably
have a negative view of someone who's been in one
hundred and fifty porns um.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, a lot of people would. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Anyway, you combine that with the whole we thought there
were ghosts in the house, and one tried to draw
my boyfriend, but it turned out or was a possum, Yes,
giant possum, not a regular sized one, and a variety
of other things. Right.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Doesn't that make her look like a crackpot a little crackpotty? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, and the one thing it absolutely does not even
conceivably make her is sexually naive and the sort of
person who would never use sex for money. I mean,
I can't get through it without laughing. It is therefore
laughable to me. The proof that it was a disaster
is the fact that they announced today they are no
(07:31):
longer gonna call McDougall the playmate.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, they've given up on that.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So why'd you do that because the porn star turned
out to do you more harm than good?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yes, clearly.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, And McDougall was in love with Trump, so I
don't know what she.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Has to say, and better looking than Stormy.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And that was absolutely a consensual, actual relationship. So I
don't see how that would be a bad thing for
I don't see how to see how that would Trump
hurt Trump at all. But and then you got to
get to the this is about election campaign finance fraud
or something. And then so Stormy had no knowledge of
the transaction really other than she was told she was
(08:12):
going to get one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, which
she never got. She says, Oh, her talking about Afnati
stealing from her is something?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, the hero remember when he was on the view
in a variety of shows getting standing ovations and widely
discussed as a possible presidential candidate standing ovations because he
was standing up for women against that awful Donald Trump.
When he was stealing from a broke single mom who
has no other way.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
To make a living.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, he's a monster. Hey he's in jail. Yeah, good,
what an unbelievable deal, that is. I do have to
mention this. I'm going to tell the story later. I
wrecked my motorcycle yesterday. I am in a lot of pain,
oh boy, And I'll have to tell that whole story yesterday,
or I'll have to tell the whole story later about
how that all went down.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah, wow, pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Huh? What's your pain on a scale of one to ten?
You gotta explain to me how that works. I actually
I saw a good chart. So yesterday when I was
at the er, they said, compared to the worst pain
you've ever had, which they never have told me that before.
The worst pain I've ever had, well, that was my
gollbladder attack, which all the nurses said was worse than childbirth.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So that just seems like a hell of a standard.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I mean, if that's gonna be my ten, right, then
really bad pain has got to be like a sex Well,
and what if I've lived an incredibly fortunate life and
never had any pain greater than a sunburn? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
If I hadn't had the gallbladder attack, my worst pain
would have been I don't know what, but yeah, the ten.
You're right, So then my numbers changed completely. What good
(09:50):
does that do them?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah? I saw this chart once.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I wish I hadn't in front of me, but it
was like five is I'm always aware of it, but
I can easily do it. I'm doing Okay, that would
be much better. That makes more sense to me than Yeah,
make ten your worst pain.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
And go on the scale.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I said, Well, if I'm gonna go compared to my
gall ladder attack, I'll put this at like a four
or five, even though it really really hurts. Because on
that I was unable to speak and writhing on the floor. Yeah,
that's that's that's a ten. But but that ruins every other.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Pain I have in my life. Well, that's why that
other chart I'm talking about is so much a better idea.
I think we'd have a handle on this.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
For goodness sakes, I would say, for daily, put humans
on the moon. We've split the atom, and we haven't
figured out it's standardized way for people to say it.
I can hardly do what I'm trying to do. It
hurts so bad. That's a seven. I'm gonna do something
you're gonna hate. Oh, I'm gonna show you a picture
of my knee already showed this to Hanson. Oh yeah,
(10:49):
that's pretty bad. That's my knee, pretty scrapy. Well, but
that shape, that's all my as somebody smuggled a pineapple
into your knee. That's not the way your knee is
to be shaped.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Indeedmates my shoulder that hurts the most. Any Well, I'll
talk about that later.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
On walking around every day pain, This is the worst
I've ever had walking around every day pain.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
That's the other thing with pain.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Are you talking about something that lasted for a couple
of minutes that was the most excruciating and they gave
me morphine or are you talking about I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I don't understand the pain chart.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And the most interesting thing I've learned about pain, as
I've dealt with quite a bit of it through my life,
is that if there is no fear, if you know
exactly what's causing it, you know it's not hurting you
per se.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
That helps a lot. It's just an annoyance.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, And that's why kids are so they go ape
poop when they get a shot because the shot hurts.
It often hurts pretty bad. But as an adult you're thinking,
all right, it's all be over in three seconds. All
right here, Like Henry got stung by a wasp the
other day. It was the first time for him and he,
you know, he didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But it feels like it could be fatal. Yeah, it
feels like something really bad has happened. A wasp sting
does hurt it. It's gonna last a couple of minutes
and the little fade away. You'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, anyway, how does mail bag look? Oh it's very amusing.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
We never started the show officially. Oh my goodness. Should
we do it or not? Do we get thrown an
FCC jail?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, we're late. Okay, we'll be next to Avenati. I'm
Jack Armstrong. He's Jogetti something something or other twenty twenty four,
blah blah blah Mark. According to experts, if Trump goes
to jail for violating his gag order, he will likely
just be locked.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Up for an hour or two behind the courtroom.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
In other words, Trump would be the first former president
to be given a timeout.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Trump came out after the trial yesterday and said the
judge is completely crooked. Well, if that doesn't violate the
gag go what I mean, if you're gonna let him
slide on the judges completely crooked, you don't have a
gag order. No, no, indeed, he just pulled the trigger.
Let's see what comes out the barrel. So mail bag
on the way text line is four one five two
nine five kftc.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Armstrongy bred.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Stevens in The New York Times calls Biden's move on
Israel his biggest blunder of his prior to the presidency,
and that is saying some so a nice balanced description
of the different points of view.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Can share that with you later, make you or help
you make up your own mind if you haven't already.
All sorts of stuff to squeeze into the segment. If
we can, we have a great freedom loving quote of
the day, a really strong mailbag. But first the Friday tradition.
It's a fond look back of the week.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That was. It's cow clips of the week with their
gluten allergies. How is the goat? One jumps for fire
at a time, Whips.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Of the week.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Boy. Scouts of America is changing its name, soon to
be known as Scouting America.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
US News and World Report names Utah the best state
in America workplace romances, where as American is apple pat.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I don't think we can solve almostess. I note we
can solve almostess. We're working expeditiously. What does that mean?
Though we're in very short order? We'll have What do
short order mean?
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Our two biggest government programs, social Security and medicare the.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Thing that seniors that matters to seniors the.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Most, are both headed towards insolvency.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
Well the uh so the I mean again, some of
this stuff gets the they uh uh uh.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Here's a little ditty about using hermus Just.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Days after Columbia University called in the NYPD, the school
now canceling the main ceremony.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You see all these little gazas out there on campuses.
It's drawing property. There's not peaceful protest. It's against the law.
I thought this was about peace. What am I missing here?
These are degenerate savages.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
How I'm off some kind of a temporary ceasefire. I
kind of felt, man, that sounds too good to be true.
That's probably too good to be true.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So it's not over your red line yet, not yet.
So you did not meet with Kim Jong un. That's
what you're saying, no, I met with many, many world leaders.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
Our constitution is much more important than jail. It's setting
and close.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
At times.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
Stormy Daniels appeared really quite tense. She testified Trump was
on the bed in his boxer shorts and t shirt.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Utterly irrelevant, orange turd. Forgive the pun straight from the horse's.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mouth to swim Trump, this is one of the low
moments in American history.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Hisiz, that's pretty good. Cow wow. Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's crazy how intervening events can kind of wipe from
your consciousness the big stories of Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Christine home her.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Dog, I mean, for instance, in Kim Jong Oun, of course,
her summit meeting with him, mailbag, I'm sorry I skip
the freedom loving quote of the day from Margaret Thatcher.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
At the time, moderate socialism was referred to as safe
socialism in Britain, and she said safe socialism. If it's safe,
it's not socialism. If it's socialism, it's not safe. Signposts
a socialism point downhill. The less freedom, less prosperity, more muddle,
more failure. If we follow them to their destination, they
will lead this nation into bankruptcy. And Yana Dana Da,
(16:36):
which is why Maggie is so hated by the modern
left in Britain's only no time for Mailbag, which is
too bad because we've got some good stuff, but.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
We also have hours left in the show. We do
many hours.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I was just reading comments that Hillary Clinton made yesterday
on MSNBC.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yes, the irony police are up on horseback, helmeted with
their nightsticks of flashing and the college kids are not
going to dig that.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I heard comments about Trump and his crimes. Imagine trying
to hide campaign funds those legal fees.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I was just talking about how college kids today don't
have any idea what's going on in the world, have
no knowledge of history, wow, and don't know how any
idea what's going on in the Middle East, which I
thought was really interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
I don't think we have to do any explaining.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'm not gonna have to win away because this judge
is corrupt. He's a corrupt judge.
Speaker 10 (17:39):
This judge, what he did did and what tish rolling
was is a disgrace. Everybody saw what happened today. He's
a corrupt judge and he's totally conflicted. And I got
to get back on the campaign trail. I'm not supposed
to be here. We are so innocent. There's ever been
anything like it. Beat every single analyst. I'm innocent, and
(18:02):
I'm being held in this court with a corrupt judge
who's totally conflict. And take a look at his time, Flip.
It's a disgrace to the city of New York, to
the state of New York, and to the country, Thank
you very much.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
So there's one thing I know about Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
If he repeats something a bunch of times, that was
the message that he wanted to get out. He is
a sales guy, and so if he's got a thing
he wants to say, he says it over and over
and over again to make sure.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
It's not lost on anybody.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
M m.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
And he used the word corrupt what five times?
Speaker 11 (18:32):
Mmmm?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And the judge is going to use the word contempt
several times, which is precisely what Trump was hoping for. Yeah,
that was axon and right. Yeah, strategy. If he'd have
said it once, I'd have thought maybe he lost his temper.
But he did the Trump thing where I've got a
point I'm trying to sell here. I think he's in
his team figured out on the heels of the Stormy fiasco.
All right, the wind is in our sales. Now's the
(18:55):
time we do the big, the big stunt, if you
Will's over three days after the judge says, look, the
findes aren't working. You do this again, and I'm gonna
have to throw you in jail to save democracy or
something like that.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Right, Trump comes out and calls him grow up five times. Yeah,
so that's a heck of a deal today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Colins expected to testify on Monday, although I don't know,
maybe Trump gets thrown in jail today.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Who knows, that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So the Stormy Daniels testimony, which we've been bringing you
as it unfolded, kind of secondhand because there's no cover,
there's no uh, electronic media. Obviously, our source has been
generally speaking the New York Times because they have a
reporter in the courtroom who's reporting stuff in more or
less real time. But and so no conservative outlet. They
(19:43):
at the New York Times. Just want you to keep
that in mind as we have been bringing you the
updates on what she said, how the cross examination went,
and that sort of thing. So here is Jonathan Turley,
Professor George Washington University, where George Washington is dressed up
like Hamas Harris because the little communist children did they
finally get the Kafia off of George Washington. That lasted
(20:05):
like way too many days. I do not know that
at any rate. Here's Jonathan Turley commenting on Stormy's testimony
and cross examination.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
We'll start with thirty three.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
First, Michael, Well, just when you thought this trial could
get more bizarre, they called this former porn star to
the stand, and Trump's council objected repeatedly on good grounds
that her testimony is virtually entirely immaterial, the NDA is
not in dispute, that this was just an effort to
(20:36):
get lurid details, and the judge refused to listen to them.
He narrowed it, but not much. And what happened was
a dumpster fire. It was embarrassing. It really made the
judge look quite, you know, effeckless and if not farcical
in his own courtroom.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Reminded of our conversation with Judge Goodman, who could not
have been more critical yesterday of the judge in the
Trump case, Judge Murchon.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
When more from Turley, thirty.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Four The prosecutors then allowed a cross examination that they
knew would be devastating. But that's the important thing here.
This is exactly what the prosecutors expected. They coached her,
she admitted to that, So they just wanted to get
these lurid details out. And the question is why it
doesn't seem to be winning the case as much as
(21:25):
trying to win the election.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Dumpster fire judges feckless.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, not so much trying to win the cases win
the election, right, I've assumed that's the whole point of
this case all along.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
But you would hope the judge is not in on
the DA's plan. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
If judges are that corrupt and ideological or screwed, yeah,
I mean, we can't have a justice system like that.
So that's what folks heard from us from Fox News,
and I would submit to you without fear of contradiction.
Jonathan Turley's one hundred percent right. Here's how you would
(22:09):
have taken it in if you consumed more mainstream media.
This is ABC News. Our old friend Aaron Katirski Clip thirty.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Donald Trump watched in rapt attention as his lawyer Susan
Necklace aggressively questions Stormy Daniels. Daniels pushed, right back, is
lawyer challenging the porn star. You have a lot of
experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real.
Daniels fired back. The sex in the films is very real,
she said, just like what happened to me in that room.
She added that if she were to fictionalize her encounter
(22:39):
with Trump, I would have written it to be a
lot better.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Oh, pluggy wise, cracking story.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Daniels and I you know, anytime you use language like
fired back, okay, that's a way to you know, portray
the way something was said.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
But uh again, that is a way to characterize this
as if the trial is did they have sex or not?
The evidence is mounting up that they did have sex. Well, okay,
that's not the trial's about.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And if you doubt whether or not Trump or Stormy
head sex, I don't know who you are, Well it's
irrelevant anyway, and it's got.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Nothing to do with the case. But actually, yeah, I
was next time. Blah blah blah blah. What the hell
are you talking about? I know one more?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Lisa Rubin on MSNBC forty Storman Daniels is.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
The rare witness who's better on cross examination than she
is hondirect Willie. She really held her ground.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's an understatement against some withering attack by the defense.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, I will point out, because truth is our hallmark,
that there were actually a couple of commentators on MSNBC
who said, I'm not going with the narrative here.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I thought it was terrible. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
So Danny Sivalos in particular, And again, what are we
talking about? That's what I got to say in every conversation.
Are we talking about whether or not they had sex?
Or are we talking about the trial? Or are we
talking about whether or not this looks bad for the public.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
For the election? Right right?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And honestly, well, yeah, I'm focusing on some of the
legal matters partly because I think this trial is so
dangerous to the republic, this sort of law fair against
the candidate. As I've pointed out, there are plausibly easily
a dozen big city das where all of these big
(24:28):
time politicians spend a lot of time in those cities,
do business there, give speeches there, et cetera. Who could
cook up a case as plausible as this one? This
one is not very plausible either. But if we start
doing that, hey, look, we could probably get him into
court for four or five weeks. If we charge him
with this. We'll never get a conviction. But that's not
the point. If we start down that road. Oh, God
(24:51):
and Alexander Hamilton help us. Oh, that is something definitely
to be concerned about. But as to the did they
or didn't they have sex? I have a feeling it's
going to be like when they ask Christians about his
belief in God. Uh, you ask most evangelicals to Trump.
Is Trump a real, actual Christian Bible believing No, No,
absolutely not. I don't think he's name. Well, they're not
fooled by that, did They just think he you know,
(25:14):
he gets the right judges and everything like that. I'll
bet when we start hearing interviews from the jury when
this whole trial is over, they're all gonna say, well,
of course they had sex. That was never a question
in my mind, right right, and that it's more or less.
And even if they didn't, the NDA has still been stipulated,
the non disclosure right. So that guy that testified earlier
(25:35):
in the week, who puts together these deals for people
who live exciting lives like Charlie Sheen and Hulk Hogan
and Donald Trump said that he's put together these deals
when people did have sex or didn't have sex, because
sometimes you know, in case somebody's gonna claim something, you
pay him to not talk about anything, right the very
week they're about to cast you in the big show.
You don't want some scuttle butt happenings, So we'll pay
(25:57):
somebody a few bucks. So even if they didn't have sex,
it doesn't make any difference to the case.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
So you got that.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Also, there was some testimony at some point in the day,
and I didn't read the specifics of this, where it
became clear she'd had conversations about we got to get
this done because they assumed Trump was gonna lose, And
my only leverage to get any money out of this
is prior to November twenty sixteen, before the election, because
once he loses, nobody will care.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
So, I mean, if that's not money focused, I don't
know what is right.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, clearly, I mean to the point of do you
feel bad you even have to say it again? The
fact that they've canceled having the Playboy playmate as a
witness means they didn't think Stormy went well. You know,
it's funny. I referenced to Alexander Hamilton a moment ago.
(26:51):
I probably had him in the back of my mind.
Hamilton no longer the hottest ticket in New York for
tourists tech. What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
The Trump trial?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
People are this one guy they profile in the journal
left his hotel room at four thirty am and waited
for hours in line. Gotta tell you this legacy. I'd
pay quite a bit to be in there and watch that. Yeah,
and but imagine the luck of the draw. Instead of
getting the assistant to the accountant of the Trump organization,
(27:20):
who says and after the check was signed, I would
process it and send it to the bank instead of her.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You get to Tom Daniels, by the way, on that.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
So, some sort of secretary or something did testify yesterday,
and she went on and about how she loves Donald Trump,
she loved working for Donald Trump. She was just trying
to establish the chain of command of the checks and
all that sort of stuff. But she went on and
on about how she thought Trump was a great president
and she loved him. So if there was any attempt
to build a Trump is awful to all women narrative
(27:53):
in the judge's mind. You know that that helped Trump
with that that commentary. Yeah, she unleashed a good and
she said something to the effect of the man you
people talk about has no resemblance to the man I know.
That's really interesting. Yeah, yeah, so we'll see how it goes.
What what a what a dumpster fire judge?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
He's a corrupt judge. He's a corrupt judge. To be
held in this quarter with a corrupt judge.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Glad you played that, Michael, because we can't lose track
of the fact that that is hanging out there.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Trump is going to be in the detention hall. How
is the judge going to handle that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
So we've got that and Cohen on Monday, and oh,
like I've been saying, if if they if they got
that prepared to cross examine Stormy, who doesn't really matter
to the case. God, They've got who knows what they've
got to talk about with Cohen one day. This would
be tough to do. We need to come up with
something like a comprehensive list of the number of people
(28:55):
and institutions and policies. And that became so completely unhinged
because of Trump and their hatred of them. They did
indefensible things. I mean, we can start with keeping the
schools closed just because Trump said we should open them
in the face of all evidence from around the world.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
That is a mortal sin. That is, that should be
a capital crime.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
And so many high level journalists abandoning their profession. Really
the FBI page and what's his face? Trump derangement syndrome
is a real thing. Yes, it absolutely is. Yes, Trump
is so dangerous. I'm going to abandon every principle I've
ever held and be utterly dishonest and damaged children, millions
(29:41):
of children, not just a few millions. And you crush
the economy. Let's see what else can we do? Pervert
the legal system and turn it into a political weapon. Yes, yes,
that's what we'll do. And he is a whole bunch
of the things they claim he is. But you can't
lose sight of what's true and what's not in the
midst of that. Be careful, ye who would fight monsters
(30:03):
that you not become a monster yourself.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, there's some quote about the devil. If you could
change all the laws to get the devil, would it
be worth it or something like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I love that quote.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well maybe we'll come up with that and it's like,
you know, the devil one if you do that or
something right exactly. Yeah, we've got almost said Stormy's headlines.
I'm sorry, Katie, I don't know. I was in a
motorcycle wreck. My head bounced off the pavement.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
So give motorcycle the motorcycle wreck as soon to be
the least of your worries.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Jack. Oh oh, another head injury coming down the line.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Katie Green with our headlines next. They just got a
text somebody happy we're back on kt in Seattle area.
So cool, what a great radio station. And happy to
be on in the morning again.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Oh heck yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Greetings to everybody up there, including my kid little bonus
mail bag, just because we have a minute. The Stormy
Daniels testimony that she's an amateur paranormal investigator based on
the haunted house she lived in New Orleans, which turned
out to be not haunted, but have a quote giant
possum in the attic. I want to know how big
(31:22):
the possum was. You can't tell me giant possum and
not give me dimensions. I'd like to know more about
how long she went on with her friends about the
ghosts and spirits.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
In her house before they figured out it was a possible.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
A couple of emails I want to share with you,
this one from Robert at the topic marsupial madness. Oh guys,
somewhere in the country side, there's an impossum thinking, how
the hell did I get dragged into this? I mean
once they figured out what Once I figured out what
kind of madhouse I was in, I made my way
to Britney Spears Place or some peace and quiet. Yes,
the possum would be a hostile witness. And then Tom
(31:55):
from SoCal Tom the only thing missing from yesterday's trial
fiasco is Trump coming out after the proceedings and saying
you can just grab them by the possum. So somebody
said the judge doesn't count for the gag order. You
can't say anything about the jury or witnesses. You can
say anything you want about the judge.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I know, you can't go after his family or the
family's the If you know, nail that down text line
four one KFTC.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what? It's the lead
story with Katie Green.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
Katie alrighty, well, thank you guys. We will start with
ABC News. Michael Cohen expected to testify Monday. According to sources,
that is going to be spectacular.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I was just reading somebody who watched his previous testimony,
because he's testified a lot, and that he is not
likely to hold up as well as Stormy Daniels under
withering criticism. Well, he's a disbarred serial perjurer and a combative,
half wit mobster, he says, who says me you have
(32:58):
with Okay?
Speaker 11 (33:00):
From NBC News, Defiant Net and Yahoo says Israel can
quote stand alone after Biden threat to withhold weapons.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, he said, we'll stand alone if we have to,
and we'll fight with our fingernails if we have to.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
From the Associated Press, Robert F.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Kennedy Junior challenges Donald Trump to debate at Libertarian convention.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Biden suggested he might debate yesterday. Did you see that
somebody yelled how about a debate? And he said, set
it up? So, of course, he says all kinds of stuff. Yeah, yeah, Well,
I suspect what will happen at this point well, as
Mark Alpernan is writing, Yes, David thinking is now he's
far enough behind. He needs a game changing moment, and
there aren't a lot of those in an election, So
(33:47):
he might have to debate to try to hit a
home run, Well, they will have to jab him with
a dose of the good stuff that you probably shouldn't
give to a.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Man that old. From Fox News.
Speaker 11 (33:57):
Anti Israel teen sixteen years old arrested for defacing World
War One memorial in New York after father turns him in. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I love that story.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Dad turned in his own kid because no, you ain't
doing that, and I ain't putting up with that. Did
you see Mary Mayor Eric Adams put out five thousand
dollars of his own money.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I did say add to the reward on catching whoever
did that. Yeah, yeah, good for you, dad. I wouldn't
do that. I would absolutely do that. Yep.
Speaker 11 (34:25):
For the Washington Post, Apple apologizes for iPad ad after blowback.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
I watched that.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
What's the hubbub? Oh, the hubbub, sir, It's it's a
terrible ad. It's an offense against humankind. What we don't
really have time to go into it, but yeah, it's
an ad for the super thin new iPad, and it
shows a bunch of musical instruments and paints and paint
brushes getting crushed like they're.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
In a crusher being destroyed. Could have been waymit. Okay,
people upset.
Speaker 11 (34:54):
Because they destroyed perfectly good art supplies.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Much set okay.
Speaker 11 (34:59):
And finally, the Babylon Bee Stormy Daniels offers hush money
to courtroom sketch artists to please stop drawing her.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Right, Yes, the sketch artist clearly hates Stormy Daniels because
those are some unflattering charcoal representations. Yeah, on a purely
physical level, she is a lovely, almost fifty year old woman,
very attracted.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Not in the charcoal drawings, she's not. She's a I'm goblin,
a monster.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
I know Trump called her horse face, but you don't
need to play horse sound effects whenever we talk about her. Yeah, Michael,
it's disrespectful. Do better, all right, be better.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
She's an artist, armstrong and getdy,
