Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the
George Washington Broadcast Center.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now,
here's Armstrong and Getty. Live from Studio C. Si, senor.
A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the

(00:37):
Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, y'all, today, Thursday,
Little Friday, we're toiling under the title of the show.
America's two parties battle to out-incompetent each other. Or if
you prefer... AI?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Uh-oh.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, as we were saying yesterday, it was one of
the headlines of the day. Should have been the headline
of the day. Should have been the only story of
the day. Should have been the only story of the day.
The guy who was from Anthropic and ChatGPT who quit
and said, you know, in the hallways, they're discussing all
of mankind dying by the end of the decade. They

(01:17):
talk about this on a regular basis. And it did
make a lot of newscasts. It got a lot of attention,
a lot of articles written about it. So we'll play
you some of that a little bit later and talk
about it. It's a heck of a thing.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Let me summarize the reaction amongst those in the know
to that high-profile resignation.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
There was practically no, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
And practically 100% uh-huh from heavyweights.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Oh, yeah, they were like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'd put
it at least 10%. Including guys who are currently employed at,
for instance, Amadei's Outfit.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I can never remember which one is which. So wild.
Not opening eyes. Anthropic. Anthropic, thank you, yes. That is
so wild. I mean, if you release a product in
the United States, it kills three people. It gets pulled
off the shelf, or you can't sell it, or there's lawsuits,
or it gets a lot of attention.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Sure, the David Muirs of the world act as if
it's the greatest disaster to confront mankind, yes.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And we got a new product where a bunch of
people were going to say, yeah, there's around a 10%
chance it wipes out all of humanity. What? Yeah. Not
three people. Not 300 people. All people. Oh, boy. It's
so absurd. Yeah. Anyway, we will talk about that a
little bit later.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I did not watch one second of the midterm convention,
and I will keep my promise again tonight. Oh, my God.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I listened to all two hours of Trump's speech. He
spoke for almost two hours, if you didn't watch it.
That's a long speech. I'm reminded of the wise words
of John Lydon, a.k.a. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols,
when told that Bruce Springsteen played four-hour shows.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
He said, why does he do that to his fans?
Does he hate them? Ain't nobody got time for that.
That's what I'm saying. Oh, boy. That's a long speech.
It's torturous.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
At one point, he says, I can just talk all
night because y'all love me and I love you.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
And the crowd was roaring a lot. Even when I
was a little kid, I'd watch conventions and I would think,
who are those people that are so excited about this?
And I didn't know anything. I was a little kid.
I didn't understand any of the dynamics. And I thought,
who are these people? Why are they so excited? As
an adult, I'm really confused. The longer I've been around,

(03:36):
I don't understand who can get that excited about political
events like that. especially when it's not like the new thing.
Some new thing came along and one particular policy, but
just the overall, just kind of general go to an
event and cheer like crazy for three hours. I don't
get it. I think your blind spot here, and it's

(04:03):
definitely not a moral failing, is you can't relate to
people who want power. Because people close to power, who
they're the official delegate. In fact, I'm the assistant head
delegate from Iowa or whatever. Man, they love that.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
That's who they are. They revel in it, revel in
being in those circles. Then as they rise up a
little bit, and somebody kids, you ought to run for
Congress sometime.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
They just, oh my God, that's like animal lust in
their hearts. And a lot of those super politically active people,
that's the way they're made. Well, the highlight... One of
the many highlights you get to our speeches a lot
is him coming out, and we'll play it later, coming
out and saying, and I'm going to get, if we
win back Congress and the Senate, everybody gets $ 5, 000. Everybody

(04:50):
cheers like crazy. And apparently that was quite the shock
to a lot of people, even fairly close to him,
that he came out and said, everybody gets $ 5, 000. Call
it the Trump dividend. If we hold on to the
House and win the Senate.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's as if he just says crazy ass.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Which at the time he just said everyone. And then
it became, with a little more details being unveiled, adults
and then adults of a certain income bracket, I guess. Well,
I've already spent mine. I don't think you qualify, but
if every adult in America got $ 5, 000, it would be

(05:26):
$ 1. 2 trillion is what it would, that's the amount of
money it would be. Which is a lot. Damn it.
I pimped out my golf cart.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I mean, I got speakers like crazy, jeep-shaking speakers. I
got the purple lights in the undercarriage. I got the
big mag wheels, custom wheels. They're $ 700 each.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Now, great. Now I don't qualify? Probably shouldn't spend it
ahead of time like that. Some people are calling it...
He promised! Some people are calling it basically a bribe.
In what way? Yeah, explain that. Expound. I'm not following.
Every night.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Every night I go to bed and I think, all right,
that's as crazy as the world can get.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And every morning I wake up and find out I
was wrong. I don't know. I mean, I pay a
lot of taxes. I don't know about y'all. But getting
$ 5, 000 of it back doesn't break my heart. But just
in general. A $ 1. 2 trillion, if we hang on to
the house, everybody gets it. All right. I guess that's

(06:28):
what we do. Oh, golly.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Of course, when we're breathing in the AI-generated super virus,
none of this is going to matter very much, which
brings us to another topic we'll have to touch on.
Various sages and experts are now answering the question that
Several of our beloved listeners had yesterday. Okay, all right.
Even if I accept the fact that AI is going
to kill all of us within 10 years, how?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
What will that look like? Yeah, I was surprised that
nobody got into the details, at least yesterday in the
early discussions of in what way we're dying. Is AI
come for us and kill us in our sleeps with
lasers or hammers or something like that? Or is it
a virus or wars?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Right. There are a variety of tantalizing possibilities, so stay tuned. Wow. Okay.
Like you said, that should have been the only story
all day yesterday. And in sports scores? What do you
mean in sports scores? We're doomed! Who cares? It's extraordinarily
hot in Georgia. Should we talk about that? No, how
about the fact that all of mankind is going to

(07:31):
be dead? Any other products? Like, there's a new car.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Make up a name of a car. It's been developed.
It's electric. It gets, uh, it only costs this much,
but it kills, kills one out of 10 people. Right. Right.
Nobody's going to buy that. You'll go berserk.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh, Hey, I just came up with something clever, which
is odd. Uh, surprising if you know me. Um, So
we were texting last night, Hanson and Jack and I,
about the news story and the AI is going to
kill us all thing.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
And I mistakenly said, grab some audio. They led with
it on CBS News. And then I realized, no, wait
a minute. It was the second story after severe weather. Because,
of course, it was severe weather. But here's the clever
idea I just came up with.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Here's what you got to think every time you see
these stupid newscasts doing this.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Let's see. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Record heavy rain caused exciting footage in Mississippi this weekend.
The hurricane hit Hawaii, causing exciting footage.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Because that's what it's all about. Man, if that's... Causing video,
we'll show you. Well, nobody watches most of these shows
we mentioned, but... True. They're on the air for a reason.
I mean, Ford buys commercials on them and everything like that,
and I can't believe that some of y'all, that's what
you want out of your life. What's the best video
in the last 24 hours of a tree blowing in

(08:58):
the wind with rain? That's what I need for my day.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Really?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I just, I don't know. And to me, it's just
like porn, man. I see a tree, you know, swaying
really hard in the rain.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I get used to that. I need to see a
tree knocked down. Then I need to see a tree
flying through the air. Then I need to see a
tree flying through the air impaling a guy. I just
need harder core weather video. Tony DeCouple, bent-nosed jackass David Muir.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Come on, give it to me. Speaking of porn and AI,
we had quite a discussion about sex dolls and how
they're becoming more and more popular and more and more sophisticated.
We did that in the One More Thing podcast. We'll
have to bring you a little bit of that information
on the radio show. It's pretty dang interesting in a
lot of different ways. I mean, there are jokes to
be made. There was humor in the podcast. Some people

(09:47):
were immature in their jokes. It was disappointing. It was
disappointing in the One More Thing podcast. About sex dolls.
Some people went sophomoric on this topic. but it did happen.
So if you would like to find the One More
Thing podcast, you should check it out. We'll give you
a little more details. There's so many different angles to
it that are fascinating. And it's going to have an

(10:10):
effect on, you know, we already don't couple and have
sex and have kids. Yeah. If porn has anything to
do with it, it's about to just be energized in
a way that mankind has never seen.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Yes, it seems clear to me that an alternative lifestyle,
call it religious, philosophical, is going to solidify soon. And
you're going to hear about it a lot. People who
reject porn. the excesses of modern technology. Because I think
that that feeling is already burbling in a lot of people.

(10:44):
But I mean, now we're going beyond the already.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Twisted, you know, sick, depressed, anxious, porn obsessed, click, desperate,
you know, society we've already got into truly bizarre realms
of And I don't know, speaking for myself, I'm definitely
getting more and more serious about my, I'll be in

(11:08):
the woods if you need me, thoughts. Just a rejection
of all of this. It's unhealthy for the soul.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Why would you embrace it just because it exists? Particularly
if you consider yourself a person who has, I was
going to say who is religious, but you might just
have a philosophy of life that's not tied to religion.
Maybe you're a Socrates guy or something. I was just
reading great stuff about Socrates, but.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's absolutely of that brand to reject this stuff. Fornication exists.
I reject that. Drug abuse exists. I reject that.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
I can give you a thousand examples because it's terrible
for my soul. I'm telling you, non-techitarians or whatever we're
going to call ourselves, that's going to be the biggest
thing within a year or two.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Within a year or two? Well, that's a prediction. Yes, Michael.
These dolls are for people that do not want to
put out the effort to have a real relationship. They're
just selfish. Well, or path of the least resistance, at least. But, yeah,
there's a lot to that. We'll be talking about that more.
We've got to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.
He's Joe Getty. And on this, this is Thursday, September 10th,

(12:15):
the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve
of this program.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and regs.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Here we go at Mark. Shotgun snap to May. He's
looking right. He's pressing off-balance throw to the right, and
he throws an interception in.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
The end zone!

Speaker 2 (12:29):
What was he thinking? Ball picked off on the right
side of the end zone. Seattle has it with a touchback.
Replay of the Super Bowl last night to kick off
the NFL season. Same result. More exciting game. Closer game,
but same result. And, uh... Joe said yesterday the thing
about the NFL is your best player can go down.

(12:53):
Somebody lands on their knee and they go down. The
quarterback who won the Super Bowl last year out five
plays into the season. Whoops. Yeah, that can't happen. But anyway,
I'm 0-1-1 in our family football pool because I had
the Patriots. So what are you going to do? You suck.
Katie's got the headlines. So many good stories to get
into today. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Hey, Katie, I'm

(13:19):
sending you a headline just in case you don't have it.
I mean, this is last second stuff here. This is
last second stuff. Breaking news. Breaking news. Here we go.
I'll just rewrite the whole thing, Jack. Because I think
that's really interesting. Anyway, so we've got the headlines we're
going to do now, and then we're going to get
into some of the deeper news stuff, and we'll play
some clips from Trump's almost two-hour speech last night. So

(13:40):
that's all coming up.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
The question that plagues me is who is reporting what?
Let's find out. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Katie, hit it.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
All right, we're going to start with the Alphabet Network's ABC.
Bessette warns of, quote, socialist hellscape and touts the tariffs.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
From NBC, quote, I'm on the ballot.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Trump tries to energize his base by placing himself front
and center. And CNN, GOP heads into the general election
with a significant enthusiasm deficit.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Which usually happens in midterms after you win the presidency,
like just practically always.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
From the Chicago Times, a pilot of the Amazon cargo
plane that careened off the Miami runway warned it was
coming in too fast.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, so they get on the horn and say, hey, dude,
you're coming in a little hot here. And apparently the
two pilots were not working well with each other and
had a disagreement. I say we abort the landing. I
say we apply the brakes. Abort the landing. Apply the brakes.
And then people are dead.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I kind of assumed this was practically automated at this point. Yes,
me too.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
From the New York Post, how Lindsay Clancy's criminal case
could help her leverage, quote, million-dollar settlement in lawsuit against
the doctors.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Oh, suing the doctors.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, that... Unless there's an egregious something... We can't go
down that road because I've had enough family members, as
I've talked about before, with the various things and on
the various medications. They're guessing. They're doing the best they can,
trying different medications. The human brain is very complicated.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
It is very complicated.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Tempted to play that to woman, her editorial that we
played from yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
That was so good. There are more important things to
talk about, but it was very, very good about this case.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
It needs to come back because this is.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Now one of my jihads. I'm over this. Yeah, we
should play that coming up for anybody who didn't hear it.
It was so good.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay, from the Washington Post.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
For years, they warned that AI could kill all humans,
and now people are listening. Cool.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
For years.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
The whole thing's been around like a cup of coffee. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
USA Today, Apple reveals the first foldable iPhone in dramatic
new photos.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Man, I watched a bunch of the videos. Oh, me too.
That thing freaking looks slick, doesn't it? Oh, I want it.
That is awesome. Awesome. Feetfinder.com. Katie's going to start selling
pics of her feet to afford the $ 2, 000 phone.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Solid plan.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
From Study Finds, is pumpkin spice latte the worst drink
on the fall coffee shop menu? Many say yes.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, so it's a backlash after all these years? Uh-huh. Wow.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
And finally, from the Babylon Bee, God promises to spare
Massachusetts if the state can find 12 competent jurors.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah. I like the crowd that, for social media reasons,
jumps on the pumpkin spice latte bandwagon for a while,
and then when it seems like it would be popular
to turn on it, you turn on it publicly on
your social media. I don't know. I have a radio show,
so I don't know what it's like to only have
an audience through social media, I guess. Not healthy. Some

(17:17):
serious wisdom about the Clancy trial, if you haven't heard it.
It's really interesting. Armstrong and Getty. the jury notice in
the mail, so I have to call after 5 o'clock
this afternoon to see if my group is supposed to
go in tomorrow, which would be during the show, so
I'll know at 5 o'clock. I missed the last one.

(17:38):
I checked on my group, thought I didn't see my number,
but apparently it was on there. Anyway, I got a
nasty letter from whatever government, county, I guess, and I
can't miss again. Six months in solitary for People like you.
I'll be in cuffs. So I hope I'm here tomorrow
just because I have a fair number of things I

(18:01):
want to talk about around the whole 25th anniversary of 9-11,
which I was listening to the National Review podcast yesterday,
and they were going to do a big 9-11 thing.
And I thought, I have no interest in this. And
it turned out to be pretty damn interesting to get
back into that mode of what a big deal that
was and what it means and what it still means.
and how we reacted and the good things and the
bad things and all that stuff. I found it pretty interesting.

(18:22):
So we'll get into that conversation tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
I won't listen to that because we're the only podcast
that exists, but, um, I was reminded recently of the
unbelievable slew of Islamist attacks within 18 months or so
of nine 11 in, uh, in Europe, in Mali, hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of people slaughtered.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Going about their daily lives by Islamists.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
And, uh, how we've kind of fallen asleep to that threat,
a recurring theme, but more on that to come. So
the Lindsay Clancy trial has gotten a tremendous amount of attention,
and I think.
I think ultimately for the good, as society is confronting
some of the tendencies that you see these days, particularly

(19:08):
in blue states, one of which is the idea that,
and you see this in leftist politics too, geopolitically, nobody
has any agency. All there are are victims and oppressors,
and the oppressed can't be asked to take responsibility for anything.
And this may seem like a stretch.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
But hang with me.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
The quote-unquote Palestinians, they had to slaughter, rape, and burn,
and burn families alive and the rest of it because
they're being oppressed.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
They can't help it. They have no agency. They can't choose.
And you can draw a line.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
In leftist politics to blue Massachusetts. and their belief that, hey,
if a person says they're crazy, the prosecution has to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person is not crazy. Picture,
I don't know, like the first five people in your
life who popped to mind.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Could you actually prove they're not crazy? A little crazy?
What does that even mean?

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Anyway, so Lindsay Clancy hung jury 11 to 1 to acquit.
The one holdout is now getting a tongue lashing from
his fellow jurors, some more sympathetic than others. Miranda Devine,
who's always writing with a pen dipped in sarcasm in
the New York Coast, writing today that the lone juror's.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Holdout is a true act of courage.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
And she starts with, One of the, to my mind,
condescending and smug fellow jurors who said, yeah, the one holdout,
he just couldn't get over the fact that Clancy viciously
killed her children.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
That's a direct quote. I know. Yeah, that's a hard
thing to get over, especially when, like, I haven't seen
the pictures. They had to look at all the pictures. Yeah.
The before and after. Here's the cute little kids. Here's
them dead. Oh, my God. Oh, and you can't get
over that? What's wrong with you? Right.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
And then one of the other jurors, who was actually
a bit more sympathetic to the lone holdout fellow, it
was one of the other guys. There were only three
guys on the 12-person jury.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
He said, you know, at one point, the guy took
the exercise bands, because they're evidence. They're on the evidence
tray thing that they get. Oh, my God. Actually took
that and wrapped it around a water bottle.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
And this juror's quoted said, I thought that was really inappropriate.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
And I'm sitting here thinking... I can't picture anything more appropriate. Right, right.
That may be the most appropriate thing I've ever heard
of in my.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Life, which shows the gulf between those of us who
believe in personal responsibility and the people who just believe
you can never assign any blame.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
It's just their world is as foreign to me as
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I don't know what it's like to be a shark
and swim under the ocean.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Do you have anything you want to add before we
get to the audio? No, I thought I'd heard all
the interesting angles, and then we had this yesterday. Yeah.
Hit it.

Speaker 5 (22:08):
Okay, with this Lancey Clancy trial, I feel like maybe
I missed the mark because I've been seeing all of
y'all's videos and I'm just a woman. So maybe I
just didn't understand fully, so help me out here, okay?
Because what I have gathered from all of your information
that you've put out there is that women are fully
incapable of self-governing our emotions and our hormones. So if

(22:30):
we murder someone or multiple people, it is absolutely not
our fault. It is because of our emotions and our
hormones that made us do it. Because we cannot control it.
Unless we went to the doctor and we got put
on medication for these hormones and emotions. But then it's
the medication's fault. It's not our fault. It's not our

(22:51):
hormones and emotions' faults anymore because we're on medicine for it.
And so then it's the medicine's fault if we murder someone.
Unless it's the wrong medicine, too much medicine, not enough medicine,
then it's the doctor's fault. It's definitely not our fault
as women. It is the doctor's fault. Or the medication's fault.
Or our hormones and emotions. But you know what else
we are?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
We are women.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
We are to be respected. We are to be seen
as equal to men. We can do every job that
a man can do. We can be the next president.
We can be police officers. We can be in high
stressful jobs.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
With weapons.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Unless our hormones go crazy. Because then our emotions and
our hormones could cause us to pop off and act
some type of way. But it's not our fault. It's
not our fault. It is our hormones and our emotions.
Unless we're on medicine, then it's the medication. Unless it's
the wrong medicine, too much medicine, not enough medicine, then
it's the doctors.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I particularly like the too much medicine, not enough medicine. Right.
Wrong medicine. The right medicine, not the right amount. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
What you said yesterday about if you're going to craft
a society, a pretty good place to start would be
you can't murder your own babies. You just can't. And

(24:04):
somebody who is afflicted with a one in many thousands
malady that actually renders them not responsible, maybe, we're not sure. Sorry,
you don't err in the direction of, yeah, you can
kill your babies. Katie, I know you're bursting at the seams.
I am, because here's the deal.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I didn't have postpartum psychosis, but I had postpartum anxiety,
which I didn't even know existed. But it was like
a constant feeling of like, I was going to have
a heart attack at any moment. And there are weird
like phantom cries when he's sleeping. And there's all these
elements that make you feel like you're going crazy. I

(24:46):
made three phone calls and was able to get the
help that I needed. And I'm not saying that like, Actually, no,
I am saying there's nothing on the planet that can
make you want to strangle your children if you have
as much help as she's claiming that she had.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
All right. right oh yeah whatever the however many medicines
and doctor's appointments and all the different things she all
of those.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Doctors talk to each other and they all find out
what medication she's on and who's taking what and unless
she i i don't know what her medical situation was
but i know that all of my doctors are constantly
talking so that none of my medications can get crisscrossed.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
That clever snarky woman we just heard from which uh
that was a that was a pretty good little rant
she had there if it was off the top of
her head which it sounded like that's pretty good um
If we go down that road, then how do you
craft a society if you go down that road on
all kinds of different horrifying crimes? Right, right. I don't

(25:48):
even know how that would be doable, even if you
buy it. Even if you believe she was completely out
of control with that because too much medicine, not enough medicine, blah, blah, blah.
How are you going to craft a society around that? Right, right.
That vague a standard.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yeah. Look at the woman in Illinois that just killed
her kid.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Copycat yeah well i hope that's a one-off yeah but
about all all murders beatings i don't know infidelity all
kinds of different things so be just you'd be endlessly
excused away by too much medicine not enough medicine all
right i would agree one more note from.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
The uh the three female jurors who were interviewed uh
most notably a couple of days ago by the networks
um They absolutely loved Lindsay's attorney, Kevin Reddington, and gushed
about how entertaining and compassionate he was.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Those are quotes.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
In their minds, he proved that Lindsay was not a
bad mother and she loved her children and that was
all that mattered. This is the same guy who blasted
the holdout juror. He said he was a liar and
stole seven weeks of the life of the other jurors.
And then he cast doubt on the innocence of the husband, Patrick,
before he recanted that a day or two later. But

(27:06):
they call the prosecutor lacking compassion and being unprofessional.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
And I just.
I don't know. This feels like a terrible miscarriage of justice. Yeah, Katie?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
The husband's lawyer said if anybody else continues these false
allegations that he killed the kids.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
You will be sued. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, good.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Good.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Man, that's interesting that they came away with a.
They didn't have enough compassion toward the.
The lawyer didn't have enough compassion toward her as opposed
to there's not enough compassion for murdered babies. Right, they
never bring up the children. They don't.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
And one more final note, and I don't mean to
piss people off or anything, but I'm so interested in
a clinical way in the mental illness that's afflicting a
significant chunk of American society.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
District Attorney Tim Cruz... who's dedicated his entire career to
putting criminals behind bars, including those who victimize children, hurt them,
kill them, sexually abuse them, that sort of thing, was
heckled relentlessly outside the court on Friday. The guy who
spent his entire career, he's the son of a plumber,

(28:25):
he's got kids and grandkids, he's the longest-serving DA in Massachusetts,
and I have a kid in law school. Trust me,
if you make that your career, it's because you want
to do that. It's not because you want to get rich.
So this guy is dedicating his entire career to keeping
his fellow townspeople safe, and he's heckled relentlessly for trying

(28:45):
to prosecute a woman who strangled her three kids. Wow.
That is sick. That had to be tough to deal with.
He had to be thinking, how did I end up
here where I'm the bad guy? Wow. Yes, Katie.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Saw a beautiful quote the other day on Twitter that said,
had these been three puppies, she would be burned at
the stake.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I saw that too, and I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
There'd have been no wiggle room on if it had
been puppies. Right. But no, they're children, so.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
I'll give the last word to Mr. Cruz, the prosecutor,
as he is being heckled. I understand that this has
been an emotional trial for everybody. But in the end,
I bring it all back to the child victims in
this case. Cora, Dawson and Callen. Children were murdered and
it's our job to seek justice.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Wow. Wow. I didn't hear that about the abuse the
prosecutor was getting. That's troubling. Holy crap. Put an exclamation
point on that and move on. Yeah, I almost made
a horrible transition. Oh, God, no, no, no. I was
going to say what's also troubling, which you can't say

(29:57):
is a transition from that. No, I'm glad you didn't.
Drake Mays' pass at the end of last night's game
was troubling. We take you to the Patriots' sidelines.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Drake, Drake, I don't mean to sound impatient or to
wear this topic out, but the guys in the white
jerseys are the.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Fellas we want to throw the ball to. Anyway, the

Armstrong and Getty. Listen to this headline we'll elaborate. Elon
Musk reportedly considering spending between $ 50 and $ 200 million in
Texas alone. For the Republicans to keep the Senate. Wow. Woo!
More on that later. Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day.

(31:38):
Marty in beautiful Lincoln, California sent along a quote from
Thomas Sowell from his book Wealth, Poverty, and Politics.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
That is part of the Sowell section in my library.
Did I mention to you I got my big portrait
of Thomas Sowell for my study?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Wow. He's joining Orwell and H.L. Mencken so far in
my gallery of my intellectual heroes. What do you do
in your study? Very little, actually. I mostly watch stupid
YouTube videos. No, I do all sorts of stuff in there.
Let's see.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Anyway, from Sol, poverty occurs automatically. It is wealth that
must be produced.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
It's worth remembering. Mailbag. Joe G. from Reno wrote to
us at mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. He really enjoyed our... Our
segment on Signore Gramsci, the fellow who coined the term,
Antonio Gramsci, the long march through the... Institution. Institution, right.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
Who realized the only way to get Marxism to really
win was to start infecting the schools and the media and,
you know, education in general and... You've got to change
the culture to change the politics to revolutionary Marxism, and
he's been incredibly successful. If you missed it, grab the podcast,
Armstrong and Getty on Demand.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
You ought to subscribe. But anyway, Joe G.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Says, I was listening to the podcast, found the piece
on Gramsci very interesting. You probably got a thousand emails
reminding you that Boot Edge Edge's father was a promoter
and archivist of Gramsci's work.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I actually didn't know that. Wow. My guess is that
was a major selling point on Pete's resume.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
The streak of Marxism in the Democratic Party is nothing new.
I also found the sex robot story fascinating. Armstrong and Getty,
one more thing. You get that by subscribing to Armstrong
and Getty On Demand. I'm always looking for a new
idea to make money. Wondering if a sex robot rental
business would work. You know what they say, never buy
a boat, a plane, or a sex robot when you
can rent it. Hose it out, spray it with a

(33:32):
little Febreze, and you're good to go.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Spray it with a little Febreze, and you're ready to go. Oh,
that's disgusting. Joe G. from Reno, well done, sir. We've
got more on the explosion in technology with sex robots
coming up. Uh, Bill of Fullerton, uh, who says he
listens every day. Thanks very much, Bill. Uh, writes, uh,
how dis AIS gonna kill a, I believe that's a

(33:57):
reference to probably the clip. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
That's almost definitely the clip here. Anyway, uh, giant armies
of autonomous, autonomous, self-improving AI robots. Uh, what could possibly
go wrong?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Chinese AI robots marching across the land while our young
men who should be fighting are having sex with AI
sex dolls. Oh, boy. Things are getting weird, and they're
getting weird fast. You think?

Speaker 4 (34:25):
So, Gary, with a fabulous note, it's quite long with
a bunch of examples, and I'm going to mine it
for more on the topic of AI doom. says, I
believe AI's last words will be, oops, sorry, wrong again.
And he gives a bunch of examples of inquiries he's made.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I got one from last night, yeah. To AI, and
he challenged it.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
And for instance, it says, no, I wasn't trying to
predict the future. I gave an incorrect, apparently future-looking statement.
And he said, well, wait a minute, this, yes, if
I previously told you that Hurricane Lowell was a Category
1 hurricane, that was incorrect.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I'm sorry. And I did this. I said, when's the
last time either the Democrats or Republicans won the House
two elections in a row? Because we're going back and
forth a lot. And it said it's only happened twice
since 19-whatever. I said, well, didn't the Democrats control the
House for like 45 years? Oh, yeah, my bad. They

(35:20):
won every election between 19. So, I mean, it was
hilariously wrong. I mean, not even close to right. Right.
And only because I know something about the subject. So. Wow.
How about when I ask about medicine or something like
that when I don't know anything about the subject? All powerful,

(35:40):
uncontrollable and pig ignorant. Great. Where do I sign up?

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Came across a Twitter thread sent along by a beloved listener, actually,
that was saying, hey, the AI doomerism.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Come on, Michael. We've seen your thread. We will share
it with the folks coming up.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
Let's see, on the topic of the midtermapalooza, Sacrotarian writes,
I try to be optimistic, but y'all are right. Trump
delivers tactical wins, then immediately undermines them. Border security, critical minerals,
supply chain, infrastructure deals, each followed by White House chaos,
nepotistic contracts, or inflammatory rhetoric that poisons the accomplishment. The
core issue isn't competence, it's personality.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
You'll feel different when you get your $ 5, 000, which we'll
get into Trump's speech a little bit coming up an
hour or two.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
I just appreciate the fact that pandering is now just
very frank and straightforward.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
They no longer hide it anymore. I'll give you five grand. Yeah,
I'll give you $ 7, 500. Armstrong and Getty.
