Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And Jetty and He arm Draw Yet.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The last time I get to say it? In twenty
twenty five, live from Studio C see Signior, a.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Dimly lit room deep in the bowels.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, and hey y'all,
on the last show of the year, under the tutelage
of our general manager, the year of twenty twenty five,
it was a very good year if you like crap.
There's a rotten year, a dumb year, really very dumb year,
(00:54):
A lot of dumb huh in terms of like, give
me a category, I will. I'll tell you this, my friend.
Listen to our blockbuster award winning, painstakingly prepared clips of
the year show and at the end, tell me it
wasn't a dumb year.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm just scanning through the clips and the stories and
the the controversies that lasted for about half a cup
of coffee and the rest of it. I'm making a list.
Started doing this in my head on the drive into
work today as jam and air supply on way to
work today, for some reason not on my bingo card. Well,
(01:34):
good real, it's Michael. I don't know why I was
doing that. It just seemed came up and I thought
I'll give that a listen. It's been a while lying
alone with my head on the phone. Been a while
since I this phone all out. He's so lost without you.
Two little gay dudes singing back and forth in a
duet sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Are they gay? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I always just assumed they were. Ain't real, butch, I
don't know which way they swing, not that there's anything
wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm talking in their eighties now. It's a little wait
out them.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
How's making a list of things I was going to
go through with you on? Like is this going to
be worse or better a year from now? Or like
I got a list here of like ten different categories
that'll be interested in all of our opinions on Yeah,
I for once in my life remembered that you would
be asking for predictions, and so have been working on those.
(02:28):
But the problem I ran into is, with one exception,
they're all fairly grim.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hum.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm bullush on it. I'm bullush on a couple that
you probably are not Okay, all right, fair enough, So
we'll get to those a little bit later. And yeah,
we got clips of the year that we'll get through throughout.
And well, I don't want people to walk away feeling grim.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Why would I last show there? Why would they?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Well, well, yeah, maybe we do the predictions early. Okay,
here's a happy prediction. Okay, Travis and Taylor do they
make a baby announcement.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
In twenty six?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think that's an absolute Yes, Ichael, Yes, I sure
hope you sure her clock's a tick and she's accomplished
anything professionally she would ever dream of.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, Trav is about to leave the field.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, they're gonna get it. They're going to start a family. Well,
if you're going to full huge family, if you're going
to have kids, and they both said that they want to. Yeah,
you know they're old enough that, yeah, you would start
and yeah, perfect timing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Actually yeah, a good look.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Oh my god, the best looking Michael. You're gonna have
to wear sunglasses to look at that child. I'll bet
Travis Kelsey will be a fantastic dad. Oh bet he
would be too.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know him. I don't know him, but I
just disents that.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, bet he would from everything I've heard him say,
well yeah, and from yeah, just everything you get from
his brother and their family and all.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I wonder though, if Taylor is going to play
I was just reading about this the other day, the
most expensive baby pictures in history, and how like People
Magazine paid I don't know how many million dollars for
the first picture of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby, right,
so it was on the cover or whatever. If it
(04:15):
didn't end well, I find that just horrific, the idea
that you're playing along with this. But then maybe, like
there's no getting around it. People are gonna, you know,
swing from cranes, hiding in bushes till they get a
picture and you'll get nothing for it. So you might
as well get the picture out there, so the paparazzi
(04:36):
maybe doesn't get so close to your family. You have
some control over the way it happens. Maybe that's the
way it works.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, I was about to.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Say, I find every player in that interaction morally reprehensible.
It hadn't occurred to me what you just said. I'd
forgotten about that dynamic. But so that's it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I was right.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I just had left out some different kinds of morally reprehensible.
On the other hand, if they were to auction off
the rights for some huge sum and then please donate
it to like neonatal care for families that can't have
the afford to, you know, have the best care for.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The baby or whatever, I don't do something positive.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
With This might be the most in demand baby one
ever though, Taylor Swift's first kid with Travis Kelcey. That's
gonna be pretty huge particula. Yeah, yeah, I think so.
I'm trying to picture the international footprint of it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, she's big it, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He is virtually a known although just knowing he's a
big hands of football stars probably enough for say, you're
French swifty.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right and she's one of the biggest things on planet Earth.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes, so right, Okay, So we're all in agreement there
will be a baby announcement next year. So from what
I understand from executive producer Hanson, we've got to get
to starting off the clips of the year right away
because we have so many to get through. Is that
the way it's working? Yeah, I think didn't we say
like three per half hour?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah? Is that what we need to have.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We got to get one in this segment. So I
don't have the list I do. It's right in front
of me. Oddly enough, We're going to start with January.
It is a beefy son of a gun. It's a
fun look back at the year that was. It's coy
eclipse of the year. The country is on edge after
a deadly New Year's Day terror attack that investigators say
(06:10):
was inspired by ISIS.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
This is not a terrorist event.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an
addiction to divisiveness and negativity.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A seafire deal between Israel and Tomas that will implement
a pause in fighting between the two sides for forty
two days, and palace expire, burning homes, enforcing thousands to
run for their lines.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You were to describe what we're seeing is just apocalyptic.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was like a hurricane. It just was shooting like
a blow torch. Like a blow torch, the remnants of flames.
Those were all homes. Now they are all gone.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
And I don't say half of them were standard, but
there is about six of them been gone this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Looking back, Would you have taken that sure for our series?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I am going to focus today, but on what we know.
Does the buck stop with you? Hey, you're governor of California,
inviting it will be the mayor of California. Do they
fail you? Yes, we're all better off. We're all better off.
We're all better off, and we're working together. But see
that at Fox News.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I'm not going to bring up the insurance companies that
are just going to keep everybody's premiums and still get
themselves a bonus.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, free w waiting byers off firebarm. Then it was
just gone. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I wish I could do something that the kid.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
We got quarterman Americans dead and fan I'll across at
all border.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Where's the tears from that?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
We're going to get back to our roots and focus
on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression
on our platforms.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
We're eliminating the third party fact checking system.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I mean, this is like Chipotle announcing that it's ending
health inspections.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know, what's like, what do you mean in other
countries they don't have to spend twenty percent of their
paycheck on groceries.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And you know, we really need to paste ourselves if
we're going to freak out over every last tweet.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Here, fat boy, how you what for?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'm gonna twist you or not you do this to
Marsha here, you are very nice to meet.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I let you know what about sex change of the ratio,
the place in this worm clips of the Oh, so
(08:51):
it's hard to remember a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We started the year Joe Biden was still president, right, yeah,
so oddly, and didn't become president until the twentieth of
that first month January. And then I'd forgotten that the
Palisades fire was right off the bat to kick off fire.
Then the the DC helicopter airplane crash was the reference
to a fireball. What was the terrorist attack? Was that
(09:13):
the Louisiana in New Orleans saying maybe yeah New Year's Yes,
it was because I was in Washington, d C. And
some were worried for my safety being in a big city,
high profile place for New Year's Day.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And that happened.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And then the CEO of whichever company came out and
gave it just the most moronic statement.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Oh remember that, Yeah, yeah, the flap? Yeah, who was that.
Where is that? I don't know, Maybe I can find it.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Then there was me portraying Abraham Lincoln vowing to twist JB.
Pritzker in the nots for ruining Illinois. Oh it was
all states. Tom Wilson was his idiotic sugar bowl message.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes, yeah, I was dumb.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And the Amelia Perez song, the transgender drug cartel movie
that won the Oscar Right or something or whatever it was. Oh,
that's it was unwatchable trans movie. I'd forgotten all about that. Yes,
oh wow, you learn about sex change operations. So I'll
(10:22):
tell you what would be doing if this weren't the
last show of the year. What I would want to do.
I would want to do the play the entire trans
gender affirming care story they just did on NPR as
I was driving to work, play the entire thing and
take it apart, piece by piece.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
So RFK Junior announces yesterday that they're gonna pull all
kinds of funding for any states that don't outlaw what
he is calling sex denial procedures or something like that
on Children and NPR said doctors, it's the consensus among doctors.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's called gender firming Care.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So right off the bat, you can see the hatred
that is coming from the Trump administration towards something that
the All Pediatric Care agrees is and it was just
horsew crap.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, let's grab that whole thing and do it. When
we come back, that will still be a huge issue.
I was yelling at my This is why I started
listening to air supply. I was yelling at my radio saying,
how are you going to bring up Europe that Europe
has banned it? Or is it only RFK Junior that
thinks this is a bad idea. They are liars and fools.
They are such liars they've blinded themselves to the truth.
We need to take a break, though. I got more
(11:34):
clips of the year on the waist there. At some
point we got to talk about that football game last
night with one of the craziest plays ever in the
history of the NFL, with a fire.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
It's seen with a.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Very very consequential game and just a nutty play.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh wow, Yeah, but we need to get right into
the Clips of the year segments. There's so much this
is gonna the end of January is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It was as you recall the.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Month when Joe Biden was removed from his taxpayer funded
care facility also known as the White House. Here we
go the second half of January. It's clips of the year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):

Donald J.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred
and twelve votes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Kamala D Harris.
Speaker 6 (12:31):

she's angry. We need Greenland for national security purposes. We're
going to be changing the name of the Gulf of
(13:18):
Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
One of the dumbest phrases in military.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
History is our diversity is our strengths, Our diversity is
not our strength. Our unity and our shared purpose is
our strength.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
How many sinners have showed up drunk to vote at night?
Have any of you guys asked them to step down
and resign for their job?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And child? Listen, I watch.
Speaker 1 (13:45):

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I am no child? You were what of all these ones?
Speaker 1 (13:50):

I'm supportive of vaccines. Now you have velcrole in the cross?
What's wrong with snaps? It is one of some clothing
that satisfies the needs of the entire baby? Are you
in favor of? This is the Nazi salute. My heart
(14:12):
goes out to you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
One of the most exciting things we're working on to
cancer vaccine. This is the promise of AI and the
promise of the future. So the people who are concerned
about AI, what do you say to them?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I think people are really good and people will do
on balance incredible things with this technology.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And choices we get in lay. Those were your choices? Shadow? Somebody?
Oh now, what hold on the dirty dead? What I
want with my idea? Don't shut me?

religious president we've probably ever had.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
At the drunk Hooters girl with the cop, how do anything?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
She daddy? I wish we had more of. That was disgusting.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He got the rapper shooting himself during a podcast, and
they're incredibly sanguine reaction to someone getting shot, and you
all right, I'm okay, I don'tink. So then he got
Sam Altman while he's raising zillions of dollars talking about AI.
(16:13):
I think people on balance are good, so it will
do good thing. People on balance are good. When was
the last time you walked down the street. Yeah, And
that reminded me what a hot start we got off
to once Trump took over, obviously, with the Gulf of
America and Pete hegze f and all that sort of
stuff right off the.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Ax in Greenland.
Speaker 3 (16:36):

Finals four clip of the year, because that's one of
his all timers.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I agree completely that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You know, the go Exis or whatever the Eagles attempt was,
It's one of the all time stupid clips. I'm not
sure it Merrit's clip of the year consideration, although man,
we did reference it a lot. We do have more
clips of the year on the way and a bunch
of other frivolity we're going to get to. This is
a day of frivolity, and if you miss it, get
the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. Armstrong and Getty
(17:24):
College football Playoffs start tonight with its new expanded format.
It'll be interested to see how kind of ratings they get.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, yeah, what the heck?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So a lot to get to clips of the year wise,
what a month February was, so boy, we're gonna have
plenty to discuss. So let's plunge into the first chunk
of February.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's Clips of the year.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
President Trump sending shock waves throughout Europe and.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I think I have the power to end this war
and I think it's going very well.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Doubling down and accusing the Ukrainian leader of being a dictator.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
A dictator without elections.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Selensky better move fast or he's not going to have
a country left.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Gotta move, gotta move fast.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
The United States does not believe that NATO membership for
Ukraine is a realistic outcome. Just so you understand, Europe
is loaning the money to Ukraine, they get their money back.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No, in fact, be to be frank.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
We beat Pennsylvania teacher Mark Fogel is all smiles.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
He says he is thrilled to be back on US soil.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I feel like the luckiest man on earth right now.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
The US will take over the Gaza strip and we
will do a job with it to well oad it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It's a remarkable idea.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
President Trump saying that if AMAS doesn't release those remaining hostages,
then he thinks that ceasefire deal should be canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Let hell break aerobust. Foreign policy is good for trade
and national security. The tariffs on Mexico and can To
are just paused. It's going to affect be here, It's
going to affect your block. President Trump signing an executive order.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
The war on women's sports is over.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I just feel vindicated.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
There is a difference between the word woman and being
a biological female.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You know, I wanted to find somebody smarter than him.
We said a little this thanks having me. This is
the chan's off of bureaucracy turns off? Which side are
you on?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Us?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Aid run by radical lunatic?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Fifteen million for condumns to the Taliban, But we have
actually just a bowl of worms.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Who has used the unfortunate nickname big balls?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Big balls?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Here?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well this is him?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Look at it?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
What's your name? Give me that idea again? So what
I showed you?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
The idea?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
You do what I showed you? The would you let
me see there again? Mother? I don't swear in public
very well.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
But how far are we from the kleptocracy?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And I think we are there.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
We don't live in a democracy, if we live in
a bureaucracy.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
He want you to bow to him, but we want
him in jail.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Would have to if you.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Sorry until your gramtas can be difficult sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
The Doge protest singers, which side are you on? Oh lord?
That just made me sad for the way Doge went
was portrayed and ended up and I'm sure we've got
it in our clips coming up later whatever month it
was where he did the fabulous interview with Brett Baar
on Fox with the whole Doge team. I wish they
(21:14):
could have explained it that way at the very very
beginning and maybe gotten more public will on their side,
right right, got in a hole? Are we a leptocracy
or a bureaucracy? It's so arly obvious to me.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
God dang it, it's mad enough. Oh boy, he's discouraged.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And it's only halfway through the discouraging. Well, and then
you got Colin Zelensky a dictator and just some of
that stuff, and it's just a boy, howdy.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
More to come.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
We'll we'll try to cheer you up with the second
half of February, which was unforgettable, wasn't it? Although I've
forgotten it almost completely, But you'll enjoy the clips. So
a word from our friends at webb webroots. Total protection
is amazing. It gives you real time antivirus, built in
password manager, identity protection with credit and dark web monitoring.
(22:10):

rapid alerts up to a million bucks in expense reimbursement,
plus a VPN for privacy, cloud backup for easy restore,
all in one protection.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, the bad guys are good at what they do.
They're still bad people, but they're good at what they do.
And the fake emails that say your package is delayed,
the eclick on because you think, oh no, it's not
going to get there in time, and then you realize it,
or maybe you don't realize it's not actually a UPS
it's a phishing email and you're protected against that sort
of stuff with webroot, and they do all this credit
(22:40):
and dark web monitoring to see if your stuff's already
been stolen and it's floating around out there. Up to
a million dollars in expense reimbursement. If you do get
ACT all around protection for individuals or families right now,

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Act now Live a better.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Digital life with Webot Webroot, webroot dot com slash armstrong.
Maybe it's because I saw they just announced six more
high level people charged in the Minnesota fraud scam.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Bernie, you're a liberal. You want money to go to
good things.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
The government wastes more money than there is billionaires not
paying their fair share, I mean, if you want to
have a competition.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Right right. In fact, I would suggest that any lefty.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Who engages in that sort of rhetoric about who needs
to pay their fair share and we need to tax
the rich blah blah blah and doesn't go after waste
is a fraudster. Yeah, the Charlatan They're part of their
version of the kleptocracy. Right, Yeah, exactly, exactly, I would agree.
I'm scanning the list for the rest of February. I'm
(23:53):
not sure they have it, but one of my favorite
writers noted that February was the month the journalist rejected freedom.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said, Hey, we're going to
embrace personal liberties and free markets, and the journalists went
crazy protesting against liberty, which is quite a moment in
American history. Thomas Payne is whirring in his grade like
(24:15):
a Mekita drill. Anyway, let's plunge on Shelby. It's the
second half of February. I find look back at the
year that was, it's coy clips.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Of the year.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on
my face so that you will hear and see me.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
It didn't reach that level to me to say something
terrible could happen and.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. Why didn't
it to me? I don't know. I mean I think
that that's one of the things we need.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
To look at.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Mammos. NBC canceled Joy Read's TV show Get What I
was doing head value value.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Kapper writing this book is like Hannibal Lecter writing one
on the dangers of cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Free speech needs boundaries.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
When I don't how a friend pink, like why the
pink in the winter? I eat only tagos and things
and rice. Now past to twenty four years in this country. Uh,
these people teaching me to eat bagos. I need twenty
K by this week, okay in my pocket in cash.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, that's a demand to the government. They do pumps
that went into the wall and it was the whole unit.
I'm getting the middle of a plum. What is happening
when they see the birds actually going up and flame.
They created a name for that. They call them screamers.
The best country album Cowboy Carter Beyonce. Oh my god,
(25:53):
he's nine hundree.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Is there anything more annoying than putting a fitted sheet
on mattress?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh god, I hate that. She'd boy. She'd boy a
new fit of sheet. Please, they don't try to get
it in on the homes. This food for a best
in show. I choose the giant chellsy a seismic shift
(26:21):
in the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks treating Luka Doncic to
the Los Angeles Lakers. They made a decision. I don't
know why.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If you put your effort and concentration into playing to
your potential, that'll.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Be the best that you can be. I don't care
what the scoreboard says at the end of the game.
In my book, we're going to be winners, okay. I
hate you because we're from different neighborhoods. I hate you
because you look different. I hate you because I don't
understand you. I hate you because people I know hate you.
Oh great, We're in a brave new world. Not my
(26:58):
captain America okay, fifty of the best times of.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Drunk Uncle not my Captain America. I'd forgotten the context
of a supreme new world.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Joy Reads show canceled. We still miss her. Yeah, a.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Heck of a super Bowl I remember. It's always stunning
to me to find out that those things happened like
this year. Yeah, a lot of things I hear.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I think that was like ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah, that sixty minute story that you heard the gal
was she Germans saying free speech needs boundary. Yeah, I
remember we made some hay with that. It was absolutely chilling.
Or well rose out of his grave and it committed
atrocities across the German plane, or he certainly should have.
(28:10):
So you didn't see the game last night, No, I
was at the big social enjoy I had a tuxxedo
on last night. I was at a formal social engagement
a tuxedo. So we mentioned during the show it was
one of the biggest regular season games in a decade.
So you had Seahawks rams for who likely will have
home field throughout in the NFC, and the loser is
(28:31):
like in a struggle to make the playoffs. So it
was a really big game. Ends up the Seattle needs
a two point conversion to tie the game to have
a shot at going into overtime. Throw the ball, it's
it hits it that they don't catch it. It hits
the ground, an incomplete pass. Game party over, player walks over,
(28:53):
picks up the ball like to hand it to the reft.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
They then rule it. Everybody thought it was done. They
then rule it No, it was a admiral pass, so
it was a fumble.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
And the guy who walked over nonchalantly and picked up
the ball in the end zone score two point conversion.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He was picking up the ball for the heck of it,
and everybody thought the play was dead.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Two point conversion, tie game, going to overtime in the
Seattle wins in overtime.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Wow, it's an amazing game, but one of the weirdest
plays I've definitely ever seen.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, I can't wait to watch that on the DVR
and then the I think the Niners have Seattle on
the last game of the year.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
That'll be an exciting one. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong,
But anyway, cool.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
We ought to take a break and then we'll get
more clips of the year coming up with the discussion
that follows. Stay right here. Trump just legalized pot across
the country. Okay, I have to take a look at
that story. It's a little overstated, but we can discuss that.
But first let's forge ahead. It's a fun look back
(29:56):
of the year that was. It's COI clips to the year.
The first part of March.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Shape is the US Pentagon building. Isn't it just a square?
I think, my lazy husband hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I start by adding onion and bell peppers and seasoning,
of course, and then I fry them up and a cheese.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
A Dallas company that works on de extinction genetically modified
them with hair to resemble the traits of a worldly mammoth,
Hanna Lucy Say.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Forty six year old Gerhard Koenik was hiking the polytrail
on O Wahoo with his wife when he struck her
in the head with a rock and tried to push
her off the ledge.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He's rigged and he's whistling his way into your heart.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I would like to be called Joseph, Joseph of villadois
can I go with Jack the Great?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Just call me Jack the Grape.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Lately, there's been a shift in the toy market thanks
to the rise of grown up toy aficionados known as kidults. Many.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I'm studying the unseen body and created spaces of a
racin exposure the queers. Do we have jobs for that? Yes,
it's called Starbucks. Would you do something like that? Would
you say no? Men and female sports? Well, I think
it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you
on that.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
When you go to these college campus I love watching
your TikTok, which is next level, and clearly that's expressed
by my thirteen year old son.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I want to meet this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I actually calling to a turning point event this summer
Tampa Flora Student Action Summit. Actually, because by the way,
if you be concerned, it's not just white men we're
losing them.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
We're losing them to these guys online. We're losing people
that I'm bringing on this podcast as well. It's why
I bring these are bad guys. Though I made my
money all by myself, that ain't true. That's what you
just heard from here in Ireland. Moved here in January fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And when you know it is safe for all citizens
to have equal rights there in America, that's when we
will consider coming back.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
They should honestly become our fifty first sick.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
The Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I
have never said that, sir, Yes you did.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I think there's just a reference to the idea that
we all owe much to the people who came before us.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Who
was that?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I remember the back and forth, but who was it?
That was NPRS? What's her name? Blond headed? She fascist? Now, Hey,
March was a hell of a month. We've got the
State of the Union dress. Let's plunge ahead with the
clips of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
America is back.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
And once again I look at the Democrats in front
of me, and I realized there is absolutely nothing I
can say to make them happy. Remove this gentleman from
the sabor million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the
African nation of Lesuto, which nobody has ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm also working.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, you would say, Pocahunta says yes. Every single day,
we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight
for the country our citizens believe him, and for the
country our people deserves.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Trump adding a twenty five percent tax on all goods
coming across the border.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Your government has chosen to do this to you.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Then is Weland gang members arriving to his country overnight
marching into prison.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I don't care whether judges sink. I don't care the leftanks.
We're coming.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
President Trump has a clear message for those that are
in our country illegally leave now.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Ye know as an x CFO of a big public
tech company. Really what we're doing is we're applying public
company standards to the federal government. And it is alarming
how the financial operations and financial management is set up today.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I am a firm believer that President Trump will run
and win again in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Why don't you wear a suit? I will wear costume.
After this war we'll finish. Have you ever been to Ukraine?
Did you say what problems we have? I have been
to come one. Have you said thank you once this
entire meeting. No, in this entire meeting, you said thank
you today, Because let me tell you, you don't have
the cards with us.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
You start having cards right now, you're playing card.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
You're gambling with billions of people. Think you're gambling with
World War three. You're gambling with World War three. And
that's what Zelenski did.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Unfortunately, is he found every opportunity to try to Ukraine's
plain on every issue.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
A group chat for the history books, it appears a
journalist was accidentally added to a text change.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Nobody was texting war plans. No, that's a lie. He
was texting war plans. I take responsibility. I built the
I built the group. Embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, the FBI is investigating what it calls a targeted attack.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Shots fired at this Tesla dealership in Oregon.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
And all I want to see happen on my birthday
is for Eli to be taken down.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yet, Tesla is a peaceful company. We're don't done anything harpful.
Look on the right side.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I made.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
On the right side of life. Now here's the bad news.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
I'm not allowed to drive because if I haven't driven
a for a long time.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
You gotta come down to white House Tesla Auto Mall.
I love Tesler, you gotta come down to white House
Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
This is really amazing Okay, so that narrows down.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
When I started getting flipped off on a daily basis
driving around my cyber truck. Oh the excruciating oval office
argument slash meeting.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Oh it's rough to hear again. Oh what a month man.
We got more clips of the year. We got some
of our predictions for the year. A lot on the way.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And Jetty and He arm Draw Yet.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The last time I get to say it? In twenty
twenty five, live from Studio C see Signior, a.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Dimly lit room deep in the bowels.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, and hey y'all,
on the last show of the year, under the tutelage
of our general manager, the year of twenty twenty five,
it was a very good year if you like crap.
There's a rotten year, a dumb year, really very dumb year,
(00:54):
A lot of dumb huh in terms of like, give
me a category, I will. I'll tell you this, my friend.
Listen to our blockbuster award winning, painstakingly prepared clips of
the year show and at the end, tell me it
wasn't a dumb year.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I'm just scanning through the clips and the stories and
the the controversies that lasted for about half a cup
of coffee and the rest of it. I'm making a list.
Started doing this in my head on the drive into
work today as jam and air supply on way to
work today, for some reason not on my bingo card. Well,
(01:34):
good real, it's Michael. I don't know why I was
doing that. It just seemed came up and I thought
I'll give that a listen. It's been a while lying
alone with my head on the phone. Been a while
since I this phone all out. He's so lost without you.
Two little gay dudes singing back and forth in a
duet sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Are they gay? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I always just assumed they were. Ain't real, butch, I
don't know which way they swing, not that there's anything
wrong with it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm talking in their eighties now. It's a little wait
out them.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
How's making a list of things I was going to
go through with you on? Like is this going to
be worse or better a year from now? Or like
I got a list here of like ten different categories
that'll be interested in all of our opinions on Yeah,
I for once in my life remembered that you would
be asking for predictions, and so have been working on those.
(02:28):
But the problem I ran into is, with one exception,
they're all fairly grim.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hum.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm bullush on it. I'm bullush on a couple that
you probably are not Okay, all right, fair enough, So
we'll get to those a little bit later. And yeah,
we got clips of the year that we'll get through throughout.
And well, I don't want people to walk away feeling grim.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Why would I last show there? Why would they?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Well, well, yeah, maybe we do the predictions early. Okay,
here's a happy prediction. Okay, Travis and Taylor do they
make a baby announcement.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
In twenty six?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think that's an absolute Yes, Ichael, Yes, I sure
hope you sure her clock's a tick and she's accomplished
anything professionally she would ever dream of.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, Trav is about to leave the field.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, they're gonna get it. They're going to start a family. Well,
if you're going to full huge family, if you're going
to have kids, and they both said that they want to. Yeah,
you know they're old enough that, yeah, you would start
and yeah, perfect timing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Actually yeah, a good look.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Oh my god, the best looking Michael. You're gonna have
to wear sunglasses to look at that child. I'll bet
Travis Kelsey will be a fantastic dad. Oh bet he
would be too.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I don't know him. I don't know him, but I
just disents that.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, bet he would from everything I've heard him say,
well yeah, and from yeah, just everything you get from
his brother and their family and all.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I wonder though, if Taylor is going to play
I was just reading about this the other day, the
most expensive baby pictures in history, and how like People
Magazine paid I don't know how many million dollars for
the first picture of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby, right,
so it was on the cover or whatever. If it
(04:15):
didn't end well, I find that just horrific, the idea
that you're playing along with this. But then maybe, like
there's no getting around it. People are gonna, you know,
swing from cranes, hiding in bushes till they get a
picture and you'll get nothing for it. So you might
as well get the picture out there, so the paparazzi
(04:36):
maybe doesn't get so close to your family. You have
some control over the way it happens. Maybe that's the
way it works.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, I was about to.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Say, I find every player in that interaction morally reprehensible.
It hadn't occurred to me what you just said. I'd
forgotten about that dynamic. But so that's it.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I was right.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I just had left out some different kinds of morally reprehensible.
On the other hand, if they were to auction off
the rights for some huge sum and then please donate
it to like neonatal care for families that can't have
the afford to, you know, have the best care for.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The baby or whatever, I don't do something positive.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
With This might be the most in demand baby one
ever though, Taylor Swift's first kid with Travis Kelcey. That's
gonna be pretty huge particula. Yeah, yeah, I think so.
I'm trying to picture the international footprint of it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, she's big it, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He is virtually a known although just knowing he's a
big hands of football stars probably enough for say, you're
French swifty.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Right and she's one of the biggest things on planet Earth.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yes, so right, Okay, So we're all in agreement there
will be a baby announcement next year. So from what
I understand from executive producer Hanson, we've got to get
to starting off the clips of the year right away
because we have so many to get through. Is that
the way it's working? Yeah, I think didn't we say
like three per half hour?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah? Is that what we need to have.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We got to get one in this segment. So I
don't have the list I do. It's right in front
of me. Oddly enough, We're going to start with January.
It is a beefy son of a gun. It's a
fun look back at the year that was. It's coy
eclipse of the year. The country is on edge after
a deadly New Year's Day terror attack that investigators say
(06:10):
was inspired by ISIS.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
This is not a terrorist event.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an
addiction to divisiveness and negativity.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A seafire deal between Israel and Tomas that will implement
a pause in fighting between the two sides for forty
two days, and palace expire, burning homes, enforcing thousands to
run for their lines.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You were to describe what we're seeing is just apocalyptic.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was like a hurricane. It just was shooting like
a blow torch. Like a blow torch, the remnants of flames.
Those were all homes. Now they are all gone.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
And I don't say half of them were standard, but
there is about six of them been gone this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Looking back, Would you have taken that sure for our series?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I know.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I am going to focus today, but on what we know.
Does the buck stop with you? Hey, you're governor of California,
inviting it will be the mayor of California. Do they
fail you? Yes, we're all better off. We're all better off.
We're all better off, and we're working together. But see
that at Fox News.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I'm not going to bring up the insurance companies that
are just going to keep everybody's premiums and still get
themselves a bonus.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, free w waiting byers off firebarm. Then it was
just gone. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I wish I could do something that the kid.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
We got quarterman Americans dead and fan I'll across at
all border.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Where's the tears from that?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
We're going to get back to our roots and focus
on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression
on our platforms.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
We're eliminating the third party fact checking system.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I mean, this is like Chipotle announcing that it's ending
health inspections.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know, what's like, what do you mean in other
countries they don't have to spend twenty percent of their
paycheck on groceries.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And you know, we really need to paste ourselves if
we're going to freak out over every last tweet.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Here, fat boy, how you what for?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'm gonna twist you or not you do this to
Marsha here, you are very nice to meet.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I let you know what about sex change of the ratio,
the place in this worm clips of the Oh, so
(08:51):
it's hard to remember a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
We started the year Joe Biden was still president, right, yeah,
so oddly, and didn't become president until the twentieth of
that first month January. And then I'd forgotten that the
Palisades fire was right off the bat to kick off fire.
Then the the DC helicopter airplane crash was the reference
to a fireball. What was the terrorist attack? Was that
(09:13):
the Louisiana in New Orleans saying maybe yeah New Year's Yes,
it was because I was in Washington, d C. And
some were worried for my safety being in a big city,
high profile place for New Year's Day.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And that happened.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And then the CEO of whichever company came out and
gave it just the most moronic statement.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Oh remember that, Yeah, yeah, the flap? Yeah, who was that.
Where is that? I don't know, Maybe I can find it.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Then there was me portraying Abraham Lincoln vowing to twist JB.
Pritzker in the nots for ruining Illinois. Oh it was
all states. Tom Wilson was his idiotic sugar bowl message.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes, yeah, I was dumb.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And the Amelia Perez song, the transgender drug cartel movie
that won the Oscar Right or something or whatever it was. Oh,
that's it was unwatchable trans movie. I'd forgotten all about that. Yes,
oh wow, you learn about sex change operations. So I'll
(10:22):
tell you what would be doing if this weren't the
last show of the year. What I would want to do.
I would want to do the play the entire trans
gender affirming care story they just did on NPR as
I was driving to work, play the entire thing and
take it apart, piece by piece.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
So RFK Junior announces yesterday that they're gonna pull all
kinds of funding for any states that don't outlaw what
he is calling sex denial procedures or something like that
on Children and NPR said doctors, it's the consensus among doctors.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's called gender firming Care.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So right off the bat, you can see the hatred
that is coming from the Trump administration towards something that
the All Pediatric Care agrees is and it was just
horsew crap.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, let's grab that whole thing and do it. When
we come back, that will still be a huge issue.
I was yelling at my This is why I started
listening to air supply. I was yelling at my radio saying,
how are you going to bring up Europe that Europe
has banned it? Or is it only RFK Junior that
thinks this is a bad idea. They are liars and fools.
They are such liars they've blinded themselves to the truth.
We need to take a break, though. I got more
(11:34):
clips of the year on the waist there. At some
point we got to talk about that football game last
night with one of the craziest plays ever in the
history of the NFL, with a fire.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
It's seen with a.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Very very consequential game and just a nutty play.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But we'll talk about that later.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh wow, Yeah, but we need to get right into
the Clips of the year segments. There's so much this
is gonna the end of January is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It was as you recall the.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Month when Joe Biden was removed from his taxpayer funded
care facility also known as the White House. Here we
go the second half of January. It's clips of the year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The votes for President of the United States are as follows.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Donald J.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Trump of the state of Florida has received three hundred
and twelve votes.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Kamala D Harris.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
No oligarch is taking shape in America of extreme wealth,
power and influence that literally threads our entire democracy. I
know more world leaders than any one of you ever
met in your whole goddamn wife, what mark my words.
Fisher's gonna judge your You've done as wonderful significant contriusions
has been invaded by all of America.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You made it right, letters written along.

President Trump sending shock waves throughout Europe and.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
I think I have the power to end this war
and I think it's going very well.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Doubling down and accusing the Ukrainian leader of being a dictator.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
A dictator without elections.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Selensky better move fast or he's not going to have
a country left.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Gotta move, gotta move fast.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
The United States does not believe that NATO membership for
Ukraine is a realistic outcome. Just so you understand, Europe
is loaning the money to Ukraine, they get their money back.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No, in fact, be to be frank.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
We beat Pennsylvania teacher Mark Fogel is all smiles.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
He says he is thrilled to be back on US soil.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I feel like the luckiest man on earth right now.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
The US will take over the Gaza strip and we
will do a job with it to well oad it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It's a remarkable idea.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
President Trump saying that if AMAS doesn't release those remaining hostages,
then he thinks that ceasefire deal should be canceled.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Let hell break aerobust. Foreign policy is good for trade
and national security. The tariffs on Mexico and can To
are just paused. It's going to affect be here, It's
going to affect your block. President Trump signing an executive order.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
The war on women's sports is over.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I just feel vindicated.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
There is a difference between the word woman and being
a biological female.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You know, I wanted to find somebody smarter than him.
We said a little this thanks having me. This is
the chan's off of bureaucracy turns off? Which side are
you on?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Us?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Aid run by radical lunatic?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Fifteen million for condumns to the Taliban, But we have
actually just a bowl of worms.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Who has used the unfortunate nickname big balls?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Big balls?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Here?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Well this is him?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Look at it?
Speaker 2 (19:58):

The idea?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
You do what I showed you? The would you let
me see there again? Mother? I don't swear in public
very well.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
But how far are we from the kleptocracy?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And I think we are there.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
We don't live in a democracy, if we live in
a bureaucracy.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
He want you to bow to him, but we want
him in jail.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Would have to if you.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Sorry until your gramtas can be difficult sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
The Doge protest singers, which side are you on? Oh lord?
That just made me sad for the way Doge went
was portrayed and ended up and I'm sure we've got
it in our clips coming up later whatever month it
was where he did the fabulous interview with Brett Baar
on Fox with the whole Doge team. I wish they
(21:14):
could have explained it that way at the very very
beginning and maybe gotten more public will on their side,
right right, got in a hole? Are we a leptocracy
or a bureaucracy? It's so arly obvious to me.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
God dang it, it's mad enough. Oh boy, he's discouraged.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And it's only halfway through the discouraging. Well, and then
you got Colin Zelensky a dictator and just some of
that stuff, and it's just a boy, howdy.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
More to come.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
We'll we'll try to cheer you up with the second
half of February, which was unforgettable, wasn't it? Although I've
forgotten it almost completely, But you'll enjoy the clips. So
a word from our friends at webb webroots. Total protection

password manager, identity protection with credit and dark web monitoring.

Speaker 2 (22:19):

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, the bad guys are good at what they do.
They're still bad people, but they're good at what they do.
And the fake emails that say your package is delayed,
the eclick on because you think, oh no, it's not
going to get there in time, and then you realize it,
or maybe you don't realize it's not actually a UPS
it's a phishing email and you're protected against that sort
of stuff with webroot, and they do all this credit
(22:40):
and dark web monitoring to see if your stuff's already

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Act now Live a better.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Digital life with Webot Webroot, webroot dot com slash armstrong.
Maybe it's because I saw they just announced six more
high level people charged in the Minnesota fraud scam.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Bernie, you're a liberal. You want money to go to
good things.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
The government wastes more money than there is billionaires not
paying their fair share, I mean, if you want to
have a competition.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Right right. In fact, I would suggest that any lefty.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Who engages in that sort of rhetoric about who needs
to pay their fair share and we need to tax
the rich blah blah blah and doesn't go after waste
is a fraudster. Yeah, the Charlatan They're part of their
version of the kleptocracy. Right, Yeah, exactly, exactly, I would agree.
I'm scanning the list for the rest of February. I'm
(23:53):
not sure they have it, but one of my favorite
writers noted that February was the month the journalist rejected freedom.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos said, Hey, we're going to
embrace personal liberties and free markets, and the journalists went
crazy protesting against liberty, which is quite a moment in
American history. Thomas Payne is whirring in his grade like
(24:15):
a Mekita drill. Anyway, let's plunge on Shelby. It's the
second half of February. I find look back at the
year that was, it's coy clips.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Of the year.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on
my face so that you will hear and see me.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
It didn't reach that level to me to say something
terrible could happen and.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. Why didn't
it to me? I don't know. I mean I think
that that's one of the things we need.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
To look at.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Mammos. NBC canceled Joy Read's TV show Get What I
was doing head value value.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Kapper writing this book is like Hannibal Lecter writing one
on the dangers of cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Free speech needs boundaries.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
When I don't how a friend pink, like why the
pink in the winter? I eat only tagos and things
and rice. Now past to twenty four years in this country. Uh,
these people teaching me to eat bagos. I need twenty
K by this week, okay in my pocket in cash.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, that's a demand to the government. They do pumps
that went into the wall and it was the whole unit.
I'm getting the middle of a plum. What is happening
when they see the birds actually going up and flame.
They created a name for that. They call them screamers.
The best country album Cowboy Carter Beyonce. Oh my god,
(25:53):
he's nine hundree.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Is there anything more annoying than putting a fitted sheet
on mattress?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh god, I hate that. She'd boy. She'd boy a
new fit of sheet. Please, they don't try to get
it in on the homes. This food for a best
in show. I choose the giant chellsy a seismic shift
(26:21):
in the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks treating Luka Doncic to
the Los Angeles Lakers. They made a decision. I don't
know why.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If you put your effort and concentration into playing to
your potential, that'll.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Be the best that you can be. I don't care
what the scoreboard says at the end of the game.
In my book, we're going to be winners, okay. I
hate you because we're from different neighborhoods. I hate you
because you look different. I hate you because I don't
understand you. I hate you because people I know hate you.
Oh great, We're in a brave new world. Not my
(26:58):
captain America okay, fifty of the best times of.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Drunk Uncle not my Captain America. I'd forgotten the context
of a supreme new world.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Joy Reads show canceled. We still miss her. Yeah, a.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Heck of a super Bowl I remember. It's always stunning
to me to find out that those things happened like
this year. Yeah, a lot of things I hear.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I think that was like ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Yeah, that sixty minute story that you heard the gal
was she Germans saying free speech needs boundary. Yeah, I
remember we made some hay with that. It was absolutely chilling.
Or well rose out of his grave and it committed
atrocities across the German plane, or he certainly should have.
(28:10):
So you didn't see the game last night, No, I
was at the big social enjoy I had a tuxxedo
on last night. I was at a formal social engagement
a tuxedo. So we mentioned during the show it was
one of the biggest regular season games in a decade.
So you had Seahawks rams for who likely will have
home field throughout in the NFC, and the loser is
(28:31):
like in a struggle to make the playoffs. So it
was a really big game. Ends up the Seattle needs
a two point conversion to tie the game to have
a shot at going into overtime. Throw the ball, it's
it hits it that they don't catch it. It hits
the ground, an incomplete pass. Game party over, player walks over,
(28:53):
picks up the ball like to hand it to the reft.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
They then rule it. Everybody thought it was done. They
then rule it No, it was a admiral pass, so
it was a fumble.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
And the guy who walked over nonchalantly and picked up
the ball in the end zone score two point conversion.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He was picking up the ball for the heck of it,
and everybody thought the play was dead.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Two point conversion, tie game, going to overtime in the
Seattle wins in overtime.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Wow, it's an amazing game, but one of the weirdest
plays I've definitely ever seen.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, I can't wait to watch that on the DVR
and then the I think the Niners have Seattle on
the last game of the year.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
That'll be an exciting one. Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong,
But anyway, cool.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
We ought to take a break and then we'll get
more clips of the year coming up with the discussion
that follows. Stay right here. Trump just legalized pot across
the country. Okay, I have to take a look at
that story. It's a little overstated, but we can discuss that.
But first let's forge ahead. It's a fun look back
(29:56):
of the year that was. It's COI clips to the year.
The first part of March.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Shape is the US Pentagon building. Isn't it just a square?
I think, my lazy husband hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I start by adding onion and bell peppers and seasoning,
of course, and then I fry them up and a cheese.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
A Dallas company that works on de extinction genetically modified
them with hair to resemble the traits of a worldly mammoth,
Hanna Lucy Say.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Forty six year old Gerhard Koenik was hiking the polytrail
on O Wahoo with his wife when he struck her
in the head with a rock and tried to push
her off the ledge.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He's rigged and he's whistling his way into your heart.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I would like to be called Joseph, Joseph of villadois
can I go with Jack the Great?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Just call me Jack the Grape.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Lately, there's been a shift in the toy market thanks
to the rise of grown up toy aficionados known as kidults. Many.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I'm studying the unseen body and created spaces of a
racin exposure the queers. Do we have jobs for that? Yes,
it's called Starbucks. Would you do something like that? Would
you say no? Men and female sports? Well, I think
it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you
on that.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
When you go to these college campus I love watching
your TikTok, which is next level, and clearly that's expressed
by my thirteen year old son.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I want to meet this guy.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I actually calling to a turning point event this summer
Tampa Flora Student Action Summit. Actually, because by the way,
if you be concerned, it's not just white men we're
losing them.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
We're losing them to these guys online. We're losing people
that I'm bringing on this podcast as well. It's why
I bring these are bad guys. Though I made my
money all by myself, that ain't true. That's what you
just heard from here in Ireland. Moved here in January fifteenth.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
And when you know it is safe for all citizens
to have equal rights there in America, that's when we
will consider coming back.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
They should honestly become our fifty first sick.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
The Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I
have never said that, sir, Yes you did.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I think there's just a reference to the idea that
we all owe much to the people who came before us.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Who
was that?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I remember the back and forth, but who was it?
That was NPRS? What's her name? Blond headed? She fascist? Now, Hey,
March was a hell of a month. We've got the
State of the Union dress. Let's plunge ahead with the
clips of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
America is back.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
And once again I look at the Democrats in front
of me, and I realized there is absolutely nothing I
can say to make them happy. Remove this gentleman from
the sabor million dollars to promote LGBTQI plus in the
African nation of Lesuto, which nobody has ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm also working.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Do you want to keep it going for another five years?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, you would say, Pocahunta says yes. Every single day,
we will stand up and we will fight, fight, fight
for the country our citizens believe him, and for the
country our people deserves.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Trump adding a twenty five percent tax on all goods
coming across the border.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Your government has chosen to do this to you.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Then is Weland gang members arriving to his country overnight
marching into prison.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I don't care whether judges sink. I don't care the leftanks.
We're coming.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
President Trump has a clear message for those that are
in our country illegally leave now.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Ye know as an x CFO of a big public
tech company. Really what we're doing is we're applying public
company standards to the federal government. And it is alarming
how the financial operations and financial management is set up today.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I am a firm believer that President Trump will run
and win again in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Why don't you wear a suit? I will wear costume.
After this war we'll finish. Have you ever been to Ukraine?
Did you say what problems we have? I have been
to come one. Have you said thank you once this
entire meeting. No, in this entire meeting, you said thank
you today, Because let me tell you, you don't have
the cards with us.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
You start having cards right now, you're playing card.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
You're gambling with billions of people. Think you're gambling with
World War three. You're gambling with World War three. And
that's what Zelenski did.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Unfortunately, is he found every opportunity to try to Ukraine's
plain on every issue.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
A group chat for the history books, it appears a
journalist was accidentally added to a text change.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Nobody was texting war plans. No, that's a lie. He
was texting war plans. I take responsibility. I built the
I built the group. Embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, the FBI is investigating what it calls a targeted attack.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Shots fired at this Tesla dealership in Oregon.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
And all I want to see happen on my birthday
is for Eli to be taken down.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yet, Tesla is a peaceful company. We're don't done anything harpful.
Look on the right side.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
