Speaker 2 (00:24):
Army.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I need you to voice my documentary in your scary voice. Okay,
the Secret Downside of Valerian Root, the Secret Downside of
Valerian Route.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And obviously we'd need scary music, and obviously we'd oh, sorry, sorry,
because I think I feel drugged today.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I'd have taken those supplements to get me to sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't know which one it is, magnesium Vlarry and
Ruder are the one that starts with an L, but
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Has just been like, oh my god, ladies, gentlemen. For
the rest of the story, Katie Green Yeah, Jack, Well, so.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yesterday during the show, this was happening behind the scenes,
but I was sitting here with a resting heart rate
of about one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And it was freaking me out. It lies it should Yeah,
how do you not just go to the er?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Because I tend to wait too long for those things.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I mean, I'm I'm I'm okay, I'm a not go
to the er guy either. I'm a wait too long
guy either. But if I if my heart just all
of a sudden jumped up. Then it stayed there like
for an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, it stayed for an hour. We had a show
to do. You know, I was gonna happen. I was
gonna let it happen on the air.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, Well, you dying on the air would be
good for ratings. Gotta say, ing not approve of this conversation,
you know.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Anyway, So I I messaged my doctor and said, hey,
sitting here with one forty nine for about an hour.
He goes, have you done anything different? And I mentioned
to him the night before I had tried taking Valerian
route as you recommended, and he goes, okay, well, person
to person, but that causes heart palpitations.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Wow, you know I had weird heart on the way home,
and I couldn't I couldn't figure out if it was
Is this just because Katie was talking about it?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Because I just felt like, oh, let's go on here.
I promptly threw it away and then convinced that you
tried to kill me.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So it's so, Joe, you can do the scary voice
then for my documentary that I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh, I can't wait. The secret downside of Valarian roote,
the secret downside of Valerian roots. Yeah, like I don't
know about the heart palpitations, but like I feel so
like just look like it's trying to get out the doors,
like what do I yah? I name my car keys
and oh wow my glasses and what am I doing?
Way I'm going to work? And it was horrible, So
(03:00):
we got to be sharp as a tactic.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
People are counting on us.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, you're you're a You're a velunky, You're a Valerian
root junkie.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's right. I'm like the people that do the trank,
only it's Hilarian root.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yet the holes in your flesh. And as Katie pointed out,
you should be willing to die for this program. It's
that important.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's commitment. We did have a conversation barely willing to
show up. Just make sure you cue me, Katie, because
I want to make sure I get you on the air. Yeah,
I got the hand signaled down, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We did have a conversation after we got off the
air of Katie like how she would signal us if
she's dying so we could immediately go to her and
have her on microphone for the mostrman. I mean, if
it's happening, you might as well get some advantage out
of it. Obviously, be horrible and we don't want it
to happen. But if it does happen, you know, it
would be great for radio. Yeah, and I'm doing a lot,
(03:51):
so I don't want to miss it. You know. It's
a never let a crisis go to a waste moment.
It would get a lot of replay around the country.
This Armstrong and get It show sounds intrigued. I wonder
how it is since their lady, their news lady died,
But so you would you'd give the signal some some
noises probably right, and good lord, I am not enjoying this.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh some awful sound effects A dramatic crash.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I can't believe your heart rate jumped up to one
forty plus for an hour and you just stayed here working.
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm more particular about
my heart. You've had more heart stuff than me, so
you have a better idea of what you should be
doing and shouldn't be doing. But I've never had a
heart problem.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
No, I was sitting here pretty much wondering, Wow, I'm
wondering when I should go to the doctor.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'll be all right. Oh god, dang it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You never had a heart problem other than not having one. True,
that's heartless, Jack. You should see the emails. They agree.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I have music picked out if okay, here we'll go.
The jo can do the voice over.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wait, this is my death music or the talking about
changers of Valerian Route. Okay, go ahead and Katie do
your thing. Oh is it?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Am I dying? All right? Gotcha? Oh my heart? Oh
that's that wouldn't be in good. This is terrible. Can
we talk about tariffs instead? Anyway? So?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh, seriously, I was so excited about I've been you know,
I've been talking about on the air, sleeping the worst
I've ever slept in my life, and getting to where
I dreaded going to bed.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I know a number of people have this situation.
I had never had it this bad in my life.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I thought I found the miracle drug starting at Monday night,
slept all night long, two nights in a row.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But I feel drugged all day long. So that's not
a good trade off.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Standing around on street corners, just hanging down at the
waist urinating on yourself. Oh and the disgusting people I've
I've woken up next to. It's just well, you live
in a tent because of the Valerian route, right, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So that's that?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I had a headful steam? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Is there a couple of very exciting developments. One you
got Russia basically refusing the ceasefire. So there's a shock,
but noing that please Putin going to the front and
military fatigues and ordering his generals to take back every
last square foot of ground that the Ukrainians took.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's not a guy who's ready to engage in a ceasefire.
And he was making it very clear by wearing his
military fatigues.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, not even close. And then it's bent on conquest period.
And then John, it's because NATO did this in twenty
twenty two. They had an agreement we will blow up
that myth later. And then yesterday Germany put out a paper.
They're intelligence agencies like our CIA or I don't know
what you call them in Germany, GESTAPA or whatever they're called.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think they've updated it, but go on.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They released a report saying they're eighty to ninety percent
certain the COVID came out of the lab in Wuhan.
It was a lab league of course, is right, but
but it should be just enough. Different major countries have
said that's what happened. That shouldn't even be a conversation anymore.
It's a crackpot conspiracy theory. You're thrown off Twitter, you're
(07:06):
thrown off Facebook, you've lost your job at a university.
Never submit again, friends, but you that's one way to
look at it. The other way to look at it is,
this is why you delay if you can, because when
the truth comes out, if it's long after whatever the
crisis is.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Have you seen this story anywhere? I haven't. I haven't
seen it make the news anywhere. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If you can just delay, so you hold back the
truth as long as you can, and when the truth
does come out, nobody nobody's interested anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Apparently, for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The general manager today was going to be Lee zeld In,
the new head of the EPA, who is absolutely laying
waste to the ridiculous, graft ridden not even having anything
to do with the environmental environmental laws that were the
green new inflation reduction skim really cleaning up that agency
(08:02):
in a great way. So well done, Seramar from him
to come and I know you've got a list of
things the climate crazies have been promising for the years
that have not come true.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Exactly your top ten climate hoaxes.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So I got all that. Let's start the show officially.
How are you feeling, Kane on the brink of death? Jack, Well,
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Heart rate to the normal zone. Yep, we're a like
seventy six right now. We're doing good. There you go.
I'm Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, March thirteenth,
the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and getting we
approved of this program. Let's begin the show then, officially,
according to rules of regulations fueled the by Valerian Route
at Mark, A new book claims California Governor Gavin Newsom
secretly funded a monument to himself inside.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
San Francisco City Hall.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Apparently the statue is so realistic it also does nothing. Wow,
you know, I like Greg, But if Gavy had done nothing,
it would have been much, much, much better for California
and the rest of the country.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah. Also, the.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The real juice in that story is the fact that
he funded a lot of money a statue to himself
on the down low. Yes, I want video of when
they unveiled that statue, and he tried to pretend like
what an honor. I can't I can't believe you've done this.
You know, I'm just a public servant. He has grown
(09:35):
up an average kid, right attached to the most money
powerful families in California.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'd ever dream I have, says an honor.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You shouldn't have, as I said, you hundreds of thousands
of dollars to build a statue or whatever the amount
of money was.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I have no beliefs, but I never believed there'd be
a statue for me in city hall. Man, if you're
going to fund your own statue, you got to make
sure nobody finds out.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's very importan. You got to consult the Biden family.
You gotta get twenty three.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
LLC is going with all sorts of mysterious money transfers
that are masquerading his loans. Nobody can ever figure out
where to held the money went jigs, Gabby, Come on,
you're still an amateur, you know. For all I know
though half statues you see to political people were funded
by their own.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Crowd. Who knows, Oh my gosh, all right, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
With one layer of separation, it was some group you
funneled a bunch of money too, with the idea there, hey,
make sure a statue goes up for Manka. We might
have a challenge in that we don't own the land
that the radio ranch is on. Maybe we can talk
to the management company and you know, kick in that
that damn fountain out front that always needs repair it,
maybe we can repair it, and then say, all right,
(10:47):
in return for that, you let us erect a statue
to ourselves right in front of the radio ranch, the
two of us, looking like the Gavin Newsom statue. They're
in the city, all in San Francisco, gazing into the future. Sure,
looking like I said yesterday, like Gregory Peck in the
grapes of wrath, all dignified and hopeful.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If I'm paying for a statue, I'm having a full
head of hair. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Wow, we got Katie's headlines on the way, assuming she's
still with us. Oh, we've got mail bag later. We
got more updates on a bunch of different stories, including
Russia no interest in the ceasefire, so I don't know
where we are now on that tariffs, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You see the native people's they knew about Valerian roots.
Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about the ancient
medicines of Eastern theory or something like that. And then
you try valarian roots and your heart's exploding and ye,
you can't wake up in the morning. And so maybe
sometimes what your doctor recommends is a good idea, Mike,
(11:47):
because my doctor didn't recommend valarian root. A hippie Dan
our old friend, Mike the lawyer, says, you can add
weird dreams to it, where you know you're dreaming you
can't wake up. I bought it after Jack mentioned it
and tossed it. Like Kate, I did have an extraordinarily
strange dream last night where I was like stumbling min
around my room trying to figure out how to handle
it and everything. I was very yeah, so yeah, I'm
(12:09):
on the trunk. I'm basically on the trunk. Might as
well be Yeah, it's probably eaten human flesh next or something,
or developing sores or living in a tent, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's on the road to junkie doom. Folks. It's sad
to see. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It's the lead story from Katie Green Katie starting with ABC.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Putin demands curse, total victory ed of Moscow talks with
Trump envoy.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, so there was a discussion over the weekend of
is Putin really going to agree to cease fire while
Ukraine has still got a chunk of Russia.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's not a good look for him.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ah, well, it looks like he's hell bent on taking
back that chunk of Russia and about to accomplish it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And he knows, and everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Knows, even if they're barely paying attention to this, that
that region was going to be swapped for a chunk
of Ukraine them getting them back. So it's not like
there wasn't a means for him to get it back
other than continuing the war.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
He has no interest in peace. He wants conquest.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
From NBC, Canada hits the US with twenty one billion
dollars in retaliatory tariffs as global trade war heats up.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, well, I don't know if you have the latest
tariff threat from Trump as your headlines.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It just came across.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He's threatening a two hundred percent tariff on champagne and
wine from France, for instance, European booze. Now, so if
you're a need to leave for about forty five minutes
to go make a run. If you're a front or
wine connoisseur or champagn or whatever you want, want to
jump on that soon.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
From Newsweek, Ice seeks more bedspace as detainee.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Numbers hit maximum capacity.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I have no doubt we have a real bottleneck of
the courts and the judges and the hearings, because you've
got to have some level of due process to heave
people out, which is, you know what the country's based on.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
From the Washington Post, Washington braces for a governments shut
down as DOGE cuts continue.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'm not going to talk about that. You can't make
me talk about that. What about Chuck Schumer's in transit
any interest in that? No?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, one more Doge from Breitbart.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Doge cancels NIH grants to prevent tregnancy, pregnancy, pregnancy in
transgender boys.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm sorry, I'm making the same face. The everybody in
the audience is now what Now.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
They're canceling grants to prevent pregnancy in transgender boys.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, then we're gonna have a so a transgender boy
is a girl. That's a girl, so they can but
still right, instead of transgender, use the term pretend right,
and then you know what you're talking to, bring forward, fallback.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's how you're remembered.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
From The Free Beacon, lawyer for radical Columbia grad student
represented Alkaida members, including close associate.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Of Bin Laden. Oh, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That's surprising that a hardcore pro Hamas up with Islamism
guy would be.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Soft on al Qaeda too.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Huh. I feel like this is a complicated issue as
we've talked about, but it would help if a lot
of you new free speech warriors didn't always advocate for
people who support Moas.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
From the New York Post, Luigi Mangione gets largest donation
yet from mystery donator, thirty six thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Why that's the murder of the Healthscare executive for his
legal defense fund?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I guess wow. From Yahoo News, five.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Men accused of blocking traffic with.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Torquing l oh Lord.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This is something I've been seeing across the internet where
people are going out into roadways and they're dancing and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Blocking solely to take a video to put it on
the internet. Right, you're gonna get run over by me,
I'm gonna run you over. Wow. That's uh well, harsh, justice,
but justice.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And finally the babylon Bee Ireland capsizes after a rival
of Rosie o'donnald.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
No, no, no, First of all, that's a body shaming joke.
That wouldn't be it is, that wouldn't be cool if
sheer fat. She's no longer fat, she's now a skinny.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I saw a tweet the other day that said, Wow,
Johnny Knoxville is aging gracefully.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, she's an old skinny woman.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Though, Rosie o'donnald moved to Ireland because it's so unwelcoming
in the United States now that Trump is president, which
is just such a moronic, childish like your four year
old did it gesture of throwing a tantrum over something
didn't not going your way. It's just I hope she
brought her lucky charms, because she's a charming man. Trump
(16:57):
responded that yesterday we need to get the latest on that.
Of course, the leader of the free world had to
respond to Rosie O'Donnell moves to Ireland and now obscure
has been from the nineties. All right, we'll get into
some more of the news of the day. I'm not
liking this Russia story at all. Watching the very latest
(17:17):
not good, but a whole bunch of other stuff. You've
missed a segment. Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Caitlin Clark returned for season two of the WNBA Jacked.
She apparently spent the entire offseason lifting weights. Looks like
a different person tired of getting beat around. Ain't gonna
happen this year? All right, bring the hate, Caitlin, give
me clip number eighty two, there Wouldjimichael, Come on, this
(17:48):
is Lee's eld and everybody with the EPA give it up.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
EPA will be reconsidering many suffocating rules that were strict
nearly every sector of our economy today. The green new
scam ends as the EPA does. It's hard to usher
in the golden age of American success.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Which includes, by the way, doing away with a whole
bunch of mandatory electric car stuff that Ford and GM
and those companies actually hated. They couldn't say it out
loud because they'd have been on the wrong side of
the administration, the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
But I know somebody who runs a dealership, so it
was just killing.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Them having to put in all these electric chargers that
nobody was ever gonna use, and have a certain number
of electric cars in a lot that nobody was buying.
And you know, speaking of tariffs are attacks on the consumer.
Who do you think pays for all that stuff? They again,
it's got to get paid for somehow, So it jacks
up the prices of other vehicles, obviously. And it's worth
pointing out that that dealership wasn't in Lincoln, Nebraska. It
(18:43):
was in northern California, for the love of really good point.
So Leezeldon of the EPA, who he just heard, has
been publishing editorials as well.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I will quote briefly from one.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yesterday was the most consequential day of deregulation in American history.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Wow ur rah. Alongside President Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We announced that the EPA will take thirty one actions
to advance as Day one executive orders and power the
Great American comeback by overhauling massive rules on the endangerment,
finding the social cost of carbon and similar issues. We
are driving a dagger through the heart of climate change
religion and ushering in America's golden age. These actions will
roll back trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and hidden
(19:22):
taxes just as a result. Yes, a quick aside on that,
you know, the carbon neutrality and all that different sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What percentage of people care about that? Do you think
you know? I only know my own.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Orbit, but I feel like it's almost nobody. And so
many things I buy, airline tickets, a pair of genes, whatever,
it's got some sort of carbon score on there.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How many people care about that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And even if it were a significant percentage of people,
I would ask the question, as they would be rational
human being, Is it going to do any good? Of course,
honest effort and expense to what end see, I would
guess would be sink digit So people that give a
crap about that or even think about it for a second.
But I didn't go to public school being told climate
(20:07):
change was the biggest problem in the world every single
class of my life, like your kids, my kids, everybody
else's kids have done to the point that climate anxiety
is anxiety is a significant source of angst for kids.
Don't get me started about educators these days. As a result,
writes zeld In, the cost of living for American families
(20:29):
will decrease in essentials such as buying a car, heating
your home, and operating business will become more affordable. Well,
we'll see with the tariffs, but our actions will also
reignite American manufacturing, spreading economic benefits to communities, and that
he makes clear that the EPA will continue to protect
human health in the environment well unleashing America's full potential.
And he touches on the illegal Clean Power Plan two
(20:52):
point zero particulate matter crap electric vehicle mandates that Jack mentioned.
Instead of forcing Americans to buy expensive vehicles they need,
their want, or can keep powered up, we are restoring
choice to consumers and bringing automaking jobs back home, in
line with our Great America Comeback initiative. And then he
touches on energy dominance, which stands at the center of
(21:12):
America's resurgence. Amen to that, but says, look, it's gonna
be clean. We're going to be smart about it, but
we're not going to follow the climate cult. Having said that,
I thought this was so interesting David Zimmerman writing a
piece for The National Review entitled Environmentalist hysterics fall on
deaf Years in the new Trump Era, And he doesn't
(21:33):
just mean in the White House. He points out that
environmental activists are sounding their frantic alarm like always in
response to what leez Elden's doing, but this time around,
he writes, their ap apocalyptic warnings are not generating the
public fanfare they did four years ago. Since taking office,
(21:54):
Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord again, reopened
six hundred and twenty five million acres of federal waters
in Alaskan Land for oil and gas leasing, pause the
approval of new offshore wind projects that are stupid and ugly.
The Parish Climate Accord, which other countries signed but didn't
follow through on their obligations.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So yay, you get credit for signing it. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, it's like signing the Paris Exercise Accord, the pledges
you'll go to the gym three times a week, but
you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I mean, you just sign it and then claim you
signed it. But this is the really interesting part.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Environmental organizations are, of course rushing to accuse the administration
of jeopardizing humanity's future, but their most prominent and well
healed backers don't seem to be on board in the
same way they were during Trump's first term, and he
mentions Jeff Bezos, who kicked in ten billion dollars of
his own money to launch the Bezos Earth Fund in
twenty twenty. Now he and his fellow billionaires have stayed
(22:49):
silent on it. But more significantly, the American public seems
to be over the be afraid be afright craze. Well,
there's broad support for certain climate pol us. He's on
both sides of the aisle. Of course, Americans tend to
diverge when asked about their emotional reactions to news involving
climate change. Fifty one percent of respondents say they feel
(23:09):
suspicious of the groups and people pushing for climate action.
According to Pew Research, just over half they hear oh
global warming will do us all or climate change, and
more than half barely say my immediate reaction is suspicion. Additionally, additionally,
(23:31):
forty eight percent say they feel confused by all the
information about the politically divisive issue. The same survey shows
a split thirty four percent say climate policies help the
US economy, thirty four percent say hurt, thirty percent say
they make no difference.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How can they possibly think they help the economy? I
know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well, long term, otherwise everybody will be on fire and
the oceans will swallow up the entire United States.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So yes, it will help the economy.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And finally, this much less urgency around the issue, particularly
among young adults. Half of Americans between eighteen and thirty
four view climate change is a very serious problem. But
that's down seventeen points good in four years, according to
a monmouthly Wake Up Children. The same demographic also showed
a precipitous drop when asked about support for government action
(24:20):
to reduce climate change. Sixty two percent of the dewey
eyed youngsters are in support, but that's compared with eighty
percent three years ago, at eighteen percent drop. So anyway,
there are a bunch of more statistics, but they essentially
all point to the same thing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And I wanted to get to this.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The top ten catastrophic climate predictions that failed long history,
dating back to the nineteen seventies. Number one in nineteen
seventy s Dylan Ripley, a wildlife conservationists who served as secretary.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Of the Smithsonian Institute. That's pretty loft.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Sure warned that seventy five to eighty percent of species
on Earth would be tinked by the year nineteen ninety five.
This is the guy only think that was a sixth
by nineteen ninety five was my hair. In nineteen seventy,
Kenneth wat, a cologist and professor at the University of
(25:14):
California Davis, famously warned there won't be any more crude oil,
and none of our land will be usable for agriculture,
and the world would be eleven degrees colder by the
year two thousand. Yeah, I've told this falls. I've told
this story before, me telling people because I learned it
in college. Michael, get the buzzer. We need the buzzer now.
(25:37):
We wouldn't be driving any cars on gas by like
nineteen ninety two or something like that, because that's what
I learned in college. There will be any more crude oil, Jack, exactly.
It's embarrassing looking back on it.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You're fool.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Also, in nineteen seventy, which evidently was like a real
I mean, it was great for rock music and great
for wacked doodal climate predictions, biologist Paul Erlick at Stanford Universe.
He warned it by the end of the decade, up
to two hundred million people would die each year from
starvation due to overpopulation. Life expectancy would plumb it to
forty two years, and all ocean life would perish. Expectancy
(26:14):
would drop to forty two because the climate change wow
extremely false. And that's Stanford University, folks, another one of
our elite university. Nobody pays a price for making these
crazy predictions, do they What.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you want a flogging and public flogging. I'm in
favor of that.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Also in nineteen seventy, Peter Gutzer, professor North Texas State University,
predicted the world population will outrun food supplies in the
entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America
and Australia will be in famine by the year two thousand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Give them some leeway. It depends on whether or not
they were talking all climate change or not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Nobody saw human beings deciding they don't want to have
sex anymore. Nobody saw that coming. So you know, the
population was going to grow to a certain level. That
would have been interesting to figure out how we were
going to deal with No he saw it coming, people
would just stop coupling. What for the record, and especially
in case my wife is listening, Not all humans want
(27:09):
to give up sex, Okay, just for the record.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Nineteen seventy one, doctor s I.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Russul, an atmospheric scientist at NASA, predicted the coming of
a new ice age within fifty years, and that what
year did they predict that? I was seventy one. Let's say,
get a little closer to the pressent. We're there and
doesn't appear to be a nice age. In nineteen seventy five, Irlick,
who still had a job at Stanford, apparently warned that
(27:34):
ninety percent of tropical rainforests and fifty percent of species
would disappear within thirty years. In nineteen eighty eight, Hussein Shabib,
environmental director of the Maldives, warned that his island nation
would be completely underwater in thirty years, which wouldn't even
matter because experts also predicted the Maldives would run out
(27:54):
of drinking water by nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You can vacation there today. They're not underwater.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
In two thousand and four, a Pentagon analysis warned of
global anarchy due to climate change. Major European cities would
be underwater by twenty twenty, at which point Britain would
suffer from a Siberian climate Wow. That was in two
thousand and four. In two thousand and eight, Bob Woodruff
of ABC News hosted a two hour climate change special
(28:22):
warning that New York City could be underwater by twenty fifteen,
among other apocalyptic predictions.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Years ago, New York was supposed to be underwater.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Nice job, Bob woodroof, And in two thousand and nine,
former Vice president and climate activist it said more like
climate profit Here. Al Gore predicted the Arctic Ocean would
have no ice by twenty fourteen, which is the same
thing Gretaitunberg said would happen by twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Double buzzer.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Mi al Gore is the pt Barnum of climate change,
which is oh yeah, which has enriched him greatly. Yeah,
he just weaponized I'm sorry, H. L. Menken's famous you
know instruction that the aim of practical politics is to
keep the populace terrified by one bugaboo after another, and
(29:13):
you can either gain profit or power or both from
frightening the herd to run in one direction or another.
And Al Gore, I mean, he's P. T. Barnum, He's
Bill Gates. You got to admire the guy. He fed
steroids to the scam and then profited mightily from it,
(29:34):
costing the US economy, you know, many millions of jobs
and trillions of dollars. But when did he He did
that after he lost the election? Right, he must have thought,
that's it. I'm out, I need a scam. Hell, you
know what, I'm gonna do his whole hockey stick thing.
I'm going to do a documentary exactly. Hey, cook up
some stats that say the planet is cooking and do
me a chart, would you?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Just trust me on this, bring me the most extreme predictions.
I'll act like the mainstream, and I'm gonna, you know,
end up with a yacht. Well, there's some inconvenient data.
Get get rid of it. Just get rid of the
data that doesn't tend to support my hypothesis. But that's
scientifically invalid, fools, Yeah, that is really really something. We've
(30:18):
got mailbag on the way and some more news of
the day. Stayre Valerian route taking a beating on the
text line. I don't know, Katie and I had unfortunate
experiences this week after some good sleep, but some side
effects anyway, Maybe more on that later. The Valerian Root
r O U t E is my new spy novel.
(30:40):
Oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Out in a month. Yeah, here's your freedom loving quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Continuing on our series with Teddy Roosevelt, we can have
no fifty to fifty allegiance in this country. Either a
man as an American and nothing else, or he is
not an American at all. You couldn't say that today.
I just did al contrere monfrere mailbag. Hei Freder drop
us a note mailbag at armstrong eddy dot com. Another
(31:09):
cyber truck sighting specifically fund license plates Katie Wrights, who
are successful evacuees from California now living in Park City, Utah.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Well that sounds nice. We ski nearly every day. There's
a Tesla cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
With a personalized plate that says ski Mars Gotta love it.
That's pretty cool. Elon musk reference there no clever sign off.
Okay to you're forgiving, Andy writes, Wow, you guys made
my head snap when you were discussing snap food stamps.
Wanted to get this discussion going for quite a while.
I grew up on food stamps. We had six kids,
(31:40):
my parents were divorced. This was back in the early seventies.
He had a coupon book and could only buy certain things.
What's been bugging me is these signs around saying we
accept snap. Well, now, I'm okay with buying food and
cooking it. I needed it, and many families do today
as well. But my problem is the signs I mentioned
are at McDonald's, Elpoyo Loco and many other fast food restaurants.
(32:01):
He said, you guys said the biggest expense is pop.
That's right, Yeah, soda. How much is it in fast food?
Good question, Andrew. That was the actual stat that snap
is It was the biggest single soda, Pop, sugary drinks
was the single biggest expenditure on taxpayer money given to
(32:22):
the poor.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
So they don't starve to death. That's something. Yeah, I
haven't a side, but we don't really have time for it.
Maybe another time.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Mister Anonymous commenting on the story we heard the other
day about the man in Memphis who was shot by
his own dog.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
What we want to get you to some breaking news
just out of our newsroom here at Fox thirteen. A
man is in the hospital after being shot in the
leg overnight. Memphis police say he was shot by.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
His dog. Seriously, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This happened is as it turns out, it was the
dog jumped on the bed and there was a gun
on the bed and a girl according to the newscaster. Anyway,
Anonymous Rights, when we were first married, my beagle Bell
was not happy to share the bed with my wife.
She expressed her displeasure by pooping on missus Anonymous side
of the bed. I've been in that situation before. I've
(33:12):
never trusted any of our dogs with firearms. That's just
as sensible, mister Anonymous. Moving along, speaking of offspring and
people who you live with, Jack's kids and their phones,
Scott frequent corresponded through the years. Rights, My sons are
about Sam and Henry's age and is addicted to their
phones as anyone. Car rides were just as Jack described,
(33:35):
no conversation, everyone engrossed in their own screen. So I
outlawed phones in the truck. Some phone time is loud
on long rides, but going to school boy scouts, Sarah,
no phones. They do call the ride Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I've had to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean, because if you don't, your your every trip
is going to be in silence. They do call the
ride to school the most depressing twenty five minutes of
the day. As we listen to the Armstrong and Getty
Show and discuss the topics on this show.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Funny and he says, I'm the parent, I make the rules.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And folks, just in general, your kids are addicted to
their screens. Tell them, Junior, wouldn't you rather listen to
the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Maybe you can blure them away.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Let's see the micro trends, the never ending trends that
are beginning to drive young people crazy and convince them
maybe they ought to put down their phones.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Ironically enough, you know, I have the thought that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
The Internet, that smartphones in particular, are a new toy
and humanity, like a child is fascinated by the new toy,
but may figure out that it's bad for them.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't know. I hope so.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
But let's see Nick and Minnesota rights guys, it's all
about TikTok. Not only is the TikTok algorithm the most
addictive piece of software, out there. It's the greatest advertising
tool in human history. Knows exactly who will buy your
product and when they'll buy your product. It constantly sends
them videos with paid influencers marketing what the latest fashion is.
This causes constant new trends to go viral as the
algorithm knows exactly when to push the next newest trend in.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
The cycle continues.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And if you let me put on my tinfoil hat
for a second, most of these fast fashioned clothes are
made in China. That's not tinfoil hattie at all. Chinese
companies are ranking and tons of money selling all these
clothes with each changing trend.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Wow. Yeah, I wonder if the brilliant Chinese TikTok algorithm
has figured out how to push some sort of trend
then sell it to us just keep changing it. Wow,
that is brilliant, well said, if you miss a segment,
good podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Jack arms Strong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and Joy.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
And he.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Army.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I need you to voice my documentary in your scary voice. Okay,
the Secret Downside of Valerian Root, the Secret Downside of
Valerian Route.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And obviously we'd need scary music, and obviously we'd oh, sorry, sorry,
because I think I feel drugged today.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I'd have taken those supplements to get me to sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't know which one it is, magnesium Vlarry and
Ruder are the one that starts with an L, but
this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Has just been like, oh my god, ladies, gentlemen. For
the rest of the story, Katie Green Yeah, Jack, Well, so.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yesterday during the show, this was happening behind the scenes,
but I was sitting here with a resting heart rate
of about one.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And it was freaking me out. It lies it should Yeah,
how do you not just go to the er?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Because I tend to wait too long for those things.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I mean, I'm I'm I'm okay, I'm a not go
to the er guy either. I'm a wait too long
guy either. But if I if my heart just all
of a sudden jumped up. Then it stayed there like
for an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, it stayed for an hour. We had a show
to do. You know, I was gonna happen. I was
gonna let it happen on the air.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You know, Well, you dying on the air would be
good for ratings. Gotta say, ing not approve of this conversation,
you know.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Anyway, So I I messaged my doctor and said, hey,
sitting here with one forty nine for about an hour.
He goes, have you done anything different? And I mentioned
to him the night before I had tried taking Valerian
route as you recommended, and he goes, okay, well, person
to person, but that causes heart palpitations.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Wow, you know I had weird heart on the way home,
and I couldn't I couldn't figure out if it was
Is this just because Katie was talking about it?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Because I just felt like, oh, let's go on here.
I promptly threw it away and then convinced that you
tried to kill me.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So it's so, Joe, you can do the scary voice
then for my documentary that I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh, I can't wait. The secret downside of Valarian roote,
the secret downside of Valerian roots. Yeah, like I don't
know about the heart palpitations, but like I feel so
like just look like it's trying to get out the doors,
like what do I yah? I name my car keys
and oh wow my glasses and what am I doing?
Way I'm going to work? And it was horrible, So
(03:00):
we got to be sharp as a tactic.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
People are counting on us.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, you're you're a You're a velunky, You're a Valerian
root junkie.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's right. I'm like the people that do the trank,
only it's Hilarian root.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yet the holes in your flesh. And as Katie pointed out,
you should be willing to die for this program. It's
that important.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's commitment. We did have a conversation barely willing to
show up. Just make sure you cue me, Katie, because
I want to make sure I get you on the air. Yeah,
I got the hand signaled down, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
We did have a conversation after we got off the
air of Katie like how she would signal us if
she's dying so we could immediately go to her and
have her on microphone for the mostrman. I mean, if
it's happening, you might as well get some advantage out
of it. Obviously, be horrible and we don't want it
to happen. But if it does happen, you know, it
would be great for radio. Yeah, and I'm doing a lot,
(03:51):
so I don't want to miss it. You know. It's
a never let a crisis go to a waste moment.
It would get a lot of replay around the country.
This Armstrong and get It show sounds intrigued. I wonder
how it is since their lady, their news lady died,
But so you would you'd give the signal some some
noises probably right, and good lord, I am not enjoying this.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Oh some awful sound effects A dramatic crash.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I can't believe your heart rate jumped up to one
forty plus for an hour and you just stayed here working.
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm more particular about
my heart. You've had more heart stuff than me, so
you have a better idea of what you should be
doing and shouldn't be doing. But I've never had a
heart problem.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
No, I was sitting here pretty much wondering, Wow, I'm
wondering when I should go to the doctor.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'll be all right. Oh god, dang it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
You never had a heart problem other than not having one. True,
that's heartless, Jack. You should see the emails. They agree.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I have music picked out if okay, here we'll go.
The jo can do the voice over.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Wait, this is my death music or the talking about
changers of Valerian Route. Okay, go ahead and Katie do
your thing. Oh is it?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Am I dying? All right? Gotcha? Oh my heart? Oh
that's that wouldn't be in good. This is terrible. Can
we talk about tariffs instead? Anyway? So?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh, seriously, I was so excited about I've been you know,
I've been talking about on the air, sleeping the worst
I've ever slept in my life, and getting to where
I dreaded going to bed.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And I know a number of people have this situation.
I had never had it this bad in my life.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I thought I found the miracle drug starting at Monday night,
slept all night long, two nights in a row.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But I feel drugged all day long. So that's not
a good trade off.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Standing around on street corners, just hanging down at the
waist urinating on yourself. Oh and the disgusting people I've
I've woken up next to. It's just well, you live
in a tent because of the Valerian route, right, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So that's that?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I had a headful steam? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Is there a couple of very exciting developments. One you
got Russia basically refusing the ceasefire. So there's a shock,
but noing that please Putin going to the front and
military fatigues and ordering his generals to take back every
last square foot of ground that the Ukrainians took.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's not a guy who's ready to engage in a ceasefire.
And he was making it very clear by wearing his
military fatigues.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, not even close. And then it's bent on conquest period.
And then John, it's because NATO did this in twenty
twenty two. They had an agreement we will blow up
that myth later. And then yesterday Germany put out a paper.
They're intelligence agencies like our CIA or I don't know
what you call them in Germany, GESTAPA or whatever they're called.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think they've updated it, but go on.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They released a report saying they're eighty to ninety percent
certain the COVID came out of the lab in Wuhan.
It was a lab league of course, is right, but
but it should be just enough. Different major countries have
said that's what happened. That shouldn't even be a conversation anymore.
It's a crackpot conspiracy theory. You're thrown off Twitter, you're
(07:06):
thrown off Facebook, you've lost your job at a university.
Never submit again, friends, but you that's one way to
look at it. The other way to look at it is,
this is why you delay if you can, because when
the truth comes out, if it's long after whatever the
crisis is.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Have you seen this story anywhere? I haven't. I haven't
seen it make the news anywhere. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If you can just delay, so you hold back the
truth as long as you can, and when the truth
does come out, nobody nobody's interested anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Apparently, for what it's worth.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The general manager today was going to be Lee zeld In,
the new head of the EPA, who is absolutely laying
waste to the ridiculous, graft ridden not even having anything
to do with the environmental environmental laws that were the
green new inflation reduction skim really cleaning up that agency
(08:02):
in a great way. So well done, Seramar from him
to come and I know you've got a list of
things the climate crazies have been promising for the years
that have not come true.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Exactly your top ten climate hoaxes.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So I got all that. Let's start the show officially.
How are you feeling, Kane on the brink of death? Jack, Well,
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Heart rate to the normal zone. Yep, we're a like
seventy six right now. We're doing good. There you go.
I'm Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, March thirteenth,
the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and getting we
approved of this program. Let's begin the show then, officially,
according to rules of regulations fueled the by Valerian Route
at Mark, A new book claims California Governor Gavin Newsom
secretly funded a monument to himself inside.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
San Francisco City Hall.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Apparently the statue is so realistic it also does nothing. Wow,
you know, I like Greg, But if Gavy had done nothing,
it would have been much, much, much better for California
and the rest of the country.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah. Also, the.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The real juice in that story is the fact that
he funded a lot of money a statue to himself
on the down low. Yes, I want video of when
they unveiled that statue, and he tried to pretend like
what an honor. I can't I can't believe you've done this.
You know, I'm just a public servant. He has grown
(09:35):
up an average kid, right attached to the most money
powerful families in California.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'd ever dream I have, says an honor.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You shouldn't have, as I said, you hundreds of thousands
of dollars to build a statue or whatever the amount
of money was.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I have no beliefs, but I never believed there'd be
a statue for me in city hall. Man, if you're
going to fund your own statue, you got to make
sure nobody finds out.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It's very importan. You got to consult the Biden family.
You gotta get twenty three.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
LLC is going with all sorts of mysterious money transfers
that are masquerading his loans. Nobody can ever figure out
where to held the money went jigs, Gabby, Come on,
you're still an amateur, you know. For all I know
though half statues you see to political people were funded
by their own.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Crowd. Who knows, Oh my gosh, all right, or maybe.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
With one layer of separation, it was some group you
funneled a bunch of money too, with the idea there, hey,
make sure a statue goes up for Manka. We might
have a challenge in that we don't own the land
that the radio ranch is on. Maybe we can talk
to the management company and you know, kick in that
that damn fountain out front that always needs repair it,
maybe we can repair it, and then say, all right,
(10:47):
in return for that, you let us erect a statue
to ourselves right in front of the radio ranch, the
two of us, looking like the Gavin Newsom statue. They're
in the city, all in San Francisco, gazing into the future. Sure,
looking like I said yesterday, like Gregory Peck in the
grapes of wrath, all dignified and hopeful.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
If I'm paying for a statue, I'm having a full
head of hair. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Wow, we got Katie's headlines on the way, assuming she's
still with us. Oh, we've got mail bag later. We
got more updates on a bunch of different stories, including
Russia no interest in the ceasefire, so I don't know
where we are now on that tariffs, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You see the native people's they knew about Valerian roots.
Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about the ancient
medicines of Eastern theory or something like that. And then
you try valarian roots and your heart's exploding and ye,
you can't wake up in the morning. And so maybe
sometimes what your doctor recommends is a good idea, Mike,
(11:47):
because my doctor didn't recommend valarian root. A hippie Dan
our old friend, Mike the lawyer, says, you can add
weird dreams to it, where you know you're dreaming you
can't wake up. I bought it after Jack mentioned it
and tossed it. Like Kate, I did have an extraordinarily
strange dream last night where I was like stumbling min
around my room trying to figure out how to handle
it and everything. I was very yeah, so yeah, I'm
(12:09):
on the trunk. I'm basically on the trunk. Might as
well be Yeah, it's probably eaten human flesh next or something,
or developing sores or living in a tent, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
He's on the road to junkie doom. Folks. It's sad
to see. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It's the lead story from Katie Green Katie starting with ABC.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Putin demands curse, total victory ed of Moscow talks with
Trump envoy.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, so there was a discussion over the weekend of
is Putin really going to agree to cease fire while
Ukraine has still got a chunk of Russia.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's not a good look for him.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Ah, well, it looks like he's hell bent on taking
back that chunk of Russia and about to accomplish it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And he knows, and everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Knows, even if they're barely paying attention to this, that
that region was going to be swapped for a chunk
of Ukraine them getting them back. So it's not like
there wasn't a means for him to get it back
other than continuing the war.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
He has no interest in peace. He wants conquest.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
From NBC, Canada hits the US with twenty one billion
dollars in retaliatory tariffs as global trade war heats up.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, well, I don't know if you have the latest
tariff threat from Trump as your headlines.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It just came across.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
He's threatening a two hundred percent tariff on champagne and
wine from France, for instance, European booze. Now, so if
you're a need to leave for about forty five minutes
to go make a run. If you're a front or
wine connoisseur or champagn or whatever you want, want to
jump on that soon.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
From Newsweek, Ice seeks more bedspace as detainee.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Numbers hit maximum capacity.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I have no doubt we have a real bottleneck of
the courts and the judges and the hearings, because you've
got to have some level of due process to heave
people out, which is, you know what the country's based on.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
From the Washington Post, Washington braces for a governments shut
down as DOGE cuts continue.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'm not going to talk about that. You can't make
me talk about that. What about Chuck Schumer's in transit
any interest in that? No?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, one more Doge from Breitbart.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Doge cancels NIH grants to prevent tregnancy, pregnancy, pregnancy in
transgender boys.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I'm sorry, I'm making the same face. The everybody in
the audience is now what Now.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
They're canceling grants to prevent pregnancy in transgender boys.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, then we're gonna have a so a transgender boy
is a girl. That's a girl, so they can but
still right, instead of transgender, use the term pretend right,
and then you know what you're talking to, bring forward, fallback.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's how you're remembered.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
From The Free Beacon, lawyer for radical Columbia grad student
represented Alkaida members, including close associate.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Of Bin Laden. Oh, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
That's surprising that a hardcore pro Hamas up with Islamism
guy would be.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Soft on al Qaeda too.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Huh. I feel like this is a complicated issue as
we've talked about, but it would help if a lot
of you new free speech warriors didn't always advocate for
people who support Moas.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
From the New York Post, Luigi Mangione gets largest donation
yet from mystery donator, thirty six thousand, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Why that's the murder of the Healthscare executive for his
legal defense fund?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I guess wow. From Yahoo News, five.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Men accused of blocking traffic with.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Torquing l oh Lord.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
This is something I've been seeing across the internet where
people are going out into roadways and they're dancing and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Blocking solely to take a video to put it on
the internet. Right, you're gonna get run over by me,
I'm gonna run you over. Wow. That's uh well, harsh, justice,
but justice.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And finally the babylon Bee Ireland capsizes after a rival
of Rosie o'donnald.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
No, no, no, First of all, that's a body shaming joke.
That wouldn't be it is, that wouldn't be cool if
sheer fat. She's no longer fat, she's now a skinny.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
I saw a tweet the other day that said, Wow,
Johnny Knoxville is aging gracefully.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, she's an old skinny woman.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Though, Rosie o'donnald moved to Ireland because it's so unwelcoming
in the United States now that Trump is president, which
is just such a moronic, childish like your four year
old did it gesture of throwing a tantrum over something
didn't not going your way. It's just I hope she
brought her lucky charms, because she's a charming man. Trump
(16:57):
responded that yesterday we need to get the latest on that.
Of course, the leader of the free world had to
respond to Rosie O'Donnell moves to Ireland and now obscure
has been from the nineties. All right, we'll get into
some more of the news of the day. I'm not
liking this Russia story at all. Watching the very latest
(17:17):
not good, but a whole bunch of other stuff. You've
missed a segment. Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Caitlin Clark returned for season two of the WNBA Jacked.
She apparently spent the entire offseason lifting weights. Looks like
a different person tired of getting beat around. Ain't gonna
happen this year? All right, bring the hate, Caitlin, give
me clip number eighty two, there Wouldjimichael, Come on, this
(17:48):
is Lee's eld and everybody with the EPA give it up.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
EPA will be reconsidering many suffocating rules that were strict
nearly every sector of our economy today. The green new
scam ends as the EPA does. It's hard to usher
in the golden age of American success.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Which includes, by the way, doing away with a whole
bunch of mandatory electric car stuff that Ford and GM
and those companies actually hated. They couldn't say it out
loud because they'd have been on the wrong side of
the administration, the Biden administration.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
But I know somebody who runs a dealership, so it
was just killing.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Them having to put in all these electric chargers that
nobody was ever gonna use, and have a certain number
of electric cars in a lot that nobody was buying.
And you know, speaking of tariffs are attacks on the consumer.
Who do you think pays for all that stuff? They again,
it's got to get paid for somehow, So it jacks
up the prices of other vehicles, obviously. And it's worth
pointing out that that dealership wasn't in Lincoln, Nebraska. It
(18:43):
was in northern California, for the love of really good point.
So Leezeldon of the EPA, who he just heard, has
been publishing editorials as well.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I will quote briefly from one.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yesterday was the most consequential day of deregulation in American history.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Wow ur rah. Alongside President Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We announced that the EPA will take thirty one actions
to advance as Day one executive orders and power the
Great American comeback by overhauling massive rules on the endangerment,
finding the social cost of carbon and similar issues. We
are driving a dagger through the heart of climate change
religion and ushering in America's golden age. These actions will
roll back trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and hidden
(19:22):
taxes just as a result. Yes, a quick aside on that,
you know, the carbon neutrality and all that different sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What percentage of people care about that? Do you think
you know? I only know my own.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Orbit, but I feel like it's almost nobody. And so
many things I buy, airline tickets, a pair of genes, whatever,
it's got some sort of carbon score on there.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
How many people care about that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And even if it were a significant percentage of people,
I would ask the question, as they would be rational
human being, Is it going to do any good? Of course,
honest effort and expense to what end see, I would
guess would be sink digit So people that give a
crap about that or even think about it for a second.
But I didn't go to public school being told climate
(20:07):
change was the biggest problem in the world every single
class of my life, like your kids, my kids, everybody
else's kids have done to the point that climate anxiety
is anxiety is a significant source of angst for kids.
Don't get me started about educators these days. As a result,
writes zeld In, the cost of living for American families
(20:29):
will decrease in essentials such as buying a car, heating
your home, and operating business will become more affordable. Well,
we'll see with the tariffs, but our actions will also
reignite American manufacturing, spreading economic benefits to communities, and that
he makes clear that the EPA will continue to protect
human health in the environment well unleashing America's full potential.
And he touches on the illegal Clean Power Plan two
(20:52):
point zero particulate matter crap electric vehicle mandates that Jack mentioned.
Instead of forcing Americans to buy expensive vehicles they need,
their want, or can keep powered up, we are restoring
choice to consumers and bringing automaking jobs back home, in
line with our Great America Comeback initiative. And then he
touches on energy dominance, which stands at the center of
(21:12):
America's resurgence. Amen to that, but says, look, it's gonna
be clean. We're going to be smart about it, but
we're not going to follow the climate cult. Having said that,
I thought this was so interesting David Zimmerman writing a
piece for The National Review entitled Environmentalist hysterics fall on
deaf Years in the new Trump Era, And he doesn't
(21:33):
just mean in the White House. He points out that
environmental activists are sounding their frantic alarm like always in
response to what leez Elden's doing, but this time around,
he writes, their ap apocalyptic warnings are not generating the
public fanfare they did four years ago. Since taking office,
(21:54):
Trump has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord again, reopened
six hundred and twenty five million acres of federal waters
in Alaskan Land for oil and gas leasing, pause the
approval of new offshore wind projects that are stupid and ugly.
The Parish Climate Accord, which other countries signed but didn't
follow through on their obligations.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So yay, you get credit for signing it. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, it's like signing the Paris Exercise Accord, the pledges
you'll go to the gym three times a week, but
you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I mean, you just sign it and then claim you
signed it. But this is the really interesting part.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Environmental organizations are, of course rushing to accuse the administration
of jeopardizing humanity's future, but their most prominent and well
healed backers don't seem to be on board in the
same way they were during Trump's first term, and he
mentions Jeff Bezos, who kicked in ten billion dollars of
his own money to launch the Bezos Earth Fund in
twenty twenty. Now he and his fellow billionaires have stayed
(22:49):
silent on it. But more significantly, the American public seems
to be over the be afraid be afright craze. Well,
there's broad support for certain climate pol us. He's on
both sides of the aisle. Of course, Americans tend to
diverge when asked about their emotional reactions to news involving
climate change. Fifty one percent of respondents say they feel
(23:09):
suspicious of the groups and people pushing for climate action.
According to Pew Research, just over half they hear oh
global warming will do us all or climate change, and
more than half barely say my immediate reaction is suspicion. Additionally, additionally,
(23:31):
forty eight percent say they feel confused by all the
information about the politically divisive issue. The same survey shows
a split thirty four percent say climate policies help the
US economy, thirty four percent say hurt, thirty percent say
they make no difference.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How can they possibly think they help the economy? I
know it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well, long term, otherwise everybody will be on fire and
the oceans will swallow up the entire United States.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So yes, it will help the economy.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And finally, this much less urgency around the issue, particularly
among young adults. Half of Americans between eighteen and thirty
four view climate change is a very serious problem. But
that's down seventeen points good in four years, according to
a monmouthly Wake Up Children. The same demographic also showed
a precipitous drop when asked about support for government action
(24:20):
to reduce climate change. Sixty two percent of the dewey
eyed youngsters are in support, but that's compared with eighty
percent three years ago, at eighteen percent drop. So anyway,
there are a bunch of more statistics, but they essentially
all point to the same thing.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And I wanted to get to this.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The top ten catastrophic climate predictions that failed long history,
dating back to the nineteen seventies. Number one in nineteen
seventy s Dylan Ripley, a wildlife conservationists who served as secretary.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Of the Smithsonian Institute. That's pretty loft.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Sure warned that seventy five to eighty percent of species
on Earth would be tinked by the year nineteen ninety five.
This is the guy only think that was a sixth
by nineteen ninety five was my hair. In nineteen seventy,
Kenneth wat, a cologist and professor at the University of
(25:14):
California Davis, famously warned there won't be any more crude oil,
and none of our land will be usable for agriculture,
and the world would be eleven degrees colder by the
year two thousand. Yeah, I've told this falls. I've told
this story before, me telling people because I learned it
in college. Michael, get the buzzer. We need the buzzer now.
(25:37):
We wouldn't be driving any cars on gas by like
nineteen ninety two or something like that, because that's what
I learned in college. There will be any more crude oil, Jack, exactly.
It's embarrassing looking back on it.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
You're fool.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Also, in nineteen seventy, which evidently was like a real
I mean, it was great for rock music and great
for wacked doodal climate predictions, biologist Paul Erlick at Stanford Universe.
He warned it by the end of the decade, up
to two hundred million people would die each year from
starvation due to overpopulation. Life expectancy would plumb it to
forty two years, and all ocean life would perish. Expectancy
(26:14):
would drop to forty two because the climate change wow
extremely false. And that's Stanford University, folks, another one of
our elite university. Nobody pays a price for making these
crazy predictions, do they What.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you want a flogging and public flogging. I'm in
favor of that.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Also in nineteen seventy, Peter Gutzer, professor North Texas State University,
predicted the world population will outrun food supplies in the
entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America
and Australia will be in famine by the year two thousand.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Give them some leeway. It depends on whether or not
they were talking all climate change or not.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Nobody saw human beings deciding they don't want to have
sex anymore. Nobody saw that coming. So you know, the
population was going to grow to a certain level. That
would have been interesting to figure out how we were
going to deal with No he saw it coming, people
would just stop coupling. What for the record, and especially
in case my wife is listening, Not all humans want
(27:09):
to give up sex, Okay, just for the record.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Nineteen seventy one, doctor s I.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Russul, an atmospheric scientist at NASA, predicted the coming of
a new ice age within fifty years, and that what
year did they predict that? I was seventy one. Let's say,
get a little closer to the pressent. We're there and
doesn't appear to be a nice age. In nineteen seventy five, Irlick,
who still had a job at Stanford, apparently warned that
(27:34):
ninety percent of tropical rainforests and fifty percent of species
would disappear within thirty years. In nineteen eighty eight, Hussein Shabib,
environmental director of the Maldives, warned that his island nation
would be completely underwater in thirty years, which wouldn't even
matter because experts also predicted the Maldives would run out
(27:54):
of drinking water by nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You can vacation there today. They're not underwater.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
In two thousand and four, a Pentagon analysis warned of
global anarchy due to climate change. Major European cities would
be underwater by twenty twenty, at which point Britain would
suffer from a Siberian climate Wow. That was in two
thousand and four. In two thousand and eight, Bob Woodruff
of ABC News hosted a two hour climate change special
(28:22):
warning that New York City could be underwater by twenty fifteen,
among other apocalyptic predictions.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Years ago, New York was supposed to be underwater.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Nice job, Bob woodroof, And in two thousand and nine,
former Vice president and climate activist it said more like
climate profit Here. Al Gore predicted the Arctic Ocean would
have no ice by twenty fourteen, which is the same
thing Gretaitunberg said would happen by twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Double buzzer.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Mi al Gore is the pt Barnum of climate change,
which is oh yeah, which has enriched him greatly. Yeah,
he just weaponized I'm sorry, H. L. Menken's famous you
know instruction that the aim of practical politics is to
keep the populace terrified by one bugaboo after another, and
(29:13):
you can either gain profit or power or both from
frightening the herd to run in one direction or another.
And Al Gore, I mean, he's P. T. Barnum, He's
Bill Gates. You got to admire the guy. He fed
steroids to the scam and then profited mightily from it,
(29:34):
costing the US economy, you know, many millions of jobs
and trillions of dollars. But when did he He did
that after he lost the election? Right, he must have thought,
that's it. I'm out, I need a scam. Hell, you
know what, I'm gonna do his whole hockey stick thing.
I'm going to do a documentary exactly. Hey, cook up
some stats that say the planet is cooking and do
me a chart, would you?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Why?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Just trust me on this, bring me the most extreme predictions.
I'll act like the mainstream, and I'm gonna, you know,
end up with a yacht. Well, there's some inconvenient data.
Get get rid of it. Just get rid of the
data that doesn't tend to support my hypothesis. But that's
scientifically invalid, fools, Yeah, that is really really something. We've
(30:18):
got mailbag on the way and some more news of
the day. Stayre Valerian route taking a beating on the
text line. I don't know, Katie and I had unfortunate
experiences this week after some good sleep, but some side
effects anyway, Maybe more on that later. The Valerian Root
r O U t E is my new spy novel.
(30:40):
Oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Out in a month. Yeah, here's your freedom loving quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Continuing on our series with Teddy Roosevelt, we can have
no fifty to fifty allegiance in this country. Either a
man as an American and nothing else, or he is
not an American at all. You couldn't say that today.
I just did al contrere monfrere mailbag. Hei Freder drop
us a note mailbag at armstrong eddy dot com. Another
(31:09):
cyber truck sighting specifically fund license plates Katie Wrights, who
are successful evacuees from California now living in Park City, Utah.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Well that sounds nice. We ski nearly every day. There's
a Tesla cyber truck.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
With a personalized plate that says ski Mars Gotta love it.
That's pretty cool. Elon musk reference there no clever sign off.
Okay to you're forgiving, Andy writes, Wow, you guys made
my head snap when you were discussing snap food stamps.
Wanted to get this discussion going for quite a while.
I grew up on food stamps. We had six kids,
(31:40):
my parents were divorced. This was back in the early seventies.
He had a coupon book and could only buy certain things.
What's been bugging me is these signs around saying we
accept snap. Well, now, I'm okay with buying food and
cooking it. I needed it, and many families do today
as well. But my problem is the signs I mentioned
are at McDonald's, Elpoyo Loco and many other fast food restaurants.
(32:01):
He said, you guys said the biggest expense is pop.
That's right, Yeah, soda. How much is it in fast food?
Good question, Andrew. That was the actual stat that snap
is It was the biggest single soda, Pop, sugary drinks
was the single biggest expenditure on taxpayer money given to
(32:22):
the poor.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
So they don't starve to death. That's something. Yeah, I
haven't a side, but we don't really have time for it.
Maybe another time.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Mister Anonymous commenting on the story we heard the other
day about the man in Memphis who was shot by
his own dog.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
What we want to get you to some breaking news
just out of our newsroom here at Fox thirteen. A
man is in the hospital after being shot in the
leg overnight. Memphis police say he was shot by.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
His dog. Seriously, I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This happened is as it turns out, it was the
dog jumped on the bed and there was a gun
on the bed and a girl according to the newscaster. Anyway,
Anonymous Rights, when we were first married, my beagle Bell
was not happy to share the bed with my wife.
She expressed her displeasure by pooping on missus Anonymous side
of the bed. I've been in that situation before. I've
(33:12):
never trusted any of our dogs with firearms. That's just
as sensible, mister Anonymous. Moving along, speaking of offspring and
people who you live with, Jack's kids and their phones,
Scott frequent corresponded through the years. Rights, My sons are
about Sam and Henry's age and is addicted to their
phones as anyone. Car rides were just as Jack described,
(33:35):
no conversation, everyone engrossed in their own screen. So I
outlawed phones in the truck. Some phone time is loud
on long rides, but going to school boy scouts, Sarah,
no phones. They do call the ride Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I've had to do that.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean, because if you don't, your your every trip
is going to be in silence. They do call the
ride to school the most depressing twenty five minutes of
the day. As we listen to the Armstrong and Getty
Show and discuss the topics on this show.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Funny and he says, I'm the parent, I make the rules.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And folks, just in general, your kids are addicted to
their screens. Tell them, Junior, wouldn't you rather listen to
the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Maybe you can blure them away.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Let's see the micro trends, the never ending trends that
are beginning to drive young people crazy and convince them
maybe they ought to put down their phones.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Ironically enough, you know, I have the thought that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
The Internet, that smartphones in particular, are a new toy
and humanity, like a child is fascinated by the new toy,
but may figure out that it's bad for them.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't know. I hope so.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
But let's see Nick and Minnesota rights guys, it's all
about TikTok. Not only is the TikTok algorithm the most
addictive piece of software, out there. It's the greatest advertising
tool in human history. Knows exactly who will buy your
product and when they'll buy your product. It constantly sends
them videos with paid influencers marketing what the latest fashion is.
This causes constant new trends to go viral as the
algorithm knows exactly when to push the next newest trend in.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
The cycle continues.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And if you let me put on my tinfoil hat
for a second, most of these fast fashioned clothes are
made in China. That's not tinfoil hattie at all. Chinese
companies are ranking and tons of money selling all these
clothes with each changing trend.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Wow. Yeah, I wonder if the brilliant Chinese TikTok algorithm
has figured out how to push some sort of trend
then sell it to us just keep changing it. Wow,
that is brilliant, well said, if you miss a segment,
