Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. The guy who's
(00:25):
biggest qualification is the sound of his name in a
state that's half Hispanic, Javier Bessera. He worked for Biden,
but Biden didn't even know his name.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I nominated Javier Bakaria, you know, Jabber b Cher excuse.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Me, wow, But Jill didn't see any decline w Abiera.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So Javier Bakaria, uh is gonna make the top two
for governor in California, and hopefully Steve Hilton will two.
But there's so many votes left account. They're at fifty
eight percent counting, so it could take weeks well and
the results could change a lot. But so anyway, we'll
talk about that when it happens. Speaking of I don't know,
(01:16):
I don't need to have a transition. I'll just start
a new sentence. Sure to your first amendment. Man. Let's
listen to Bill Maher and Jay Leno talk about comedy
and that hole in the basement smoking pot thing that
he does. And Bill Maher was talking about how I
always admired your transitions. You just didn't do them. Like
(01:37):
all comedians think they need to transition, and you just
didn't do them. And Jaylen was like, yeah, yeah, you
don't need a transition, you just need to start. And
he said, it's like it's like the insurance companies, you
know how they you just start, You just start a
new thing and then they laugh and then you start
a new one. Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Buddy of mine and his wife saw Nate Bargatzi not
long ago. He's telling them about that. On the of
course he's got a does an hour set of brand
new materials. Oh really yeah, and he said it was
just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. I saw him and Seinfeld together on a podcast
in Seinfeld said you are among the best I've ever seen,
which Nate Bargatzi was like, oh wow, thank you. Yeah,
he is good though. Uh So. Heven Burger's with my
son yesterday and I mentioned to him, and this gets
into state laws and politics and stuff like that a
(02:26):
little bit. Heven Burger's was my son yesterday afternoon. I
mentioned to him because I asked how I'd like the
burger cooked, and I said, when I lived in North Carolina,
you could only get your burger cooked all the way through.
It was the law like you couldn't have pink on
a burger, which to me is just a crime. And
he said, how did they do that? He said, was
that a liberal state? And I said, no, it's actually
(02:48):
a very conservative state, which got me thinking, how did
a at that time, a very red state pass no
personal freedom law like restaurants can't serve you you a
burger that's got any pink in it. So I did
a little research on it to bring it back, and yeah,
Joe and I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for two
(03:09):
years in the mid nineties, and we it turns out
we actually showed up there right after they passed a
law in North Carolina that burgers had to be cooked
all the way through because there had been some outbreak
at a restaurant or something like that, which is just ridiculous, justus,
but it's ridiculous, and I can't believe it happened in
a red state. But it just shows you how things
(03:29):
can occur when people get all worked up. And I
hate stuff like that for all kinds of different reasons,
starting with burgers are way better if there's some pink
I like a lot of pink at my burger. But
it didn't outlaw you ordering it well done. You could
still go to a restaurant and say, I'd like it
well done because I'm worried about bacteria. No, you gotta
mandate it that nobody. Everybody has to get it well done,
(03:52):
which is just crazy. And it stayed that way for
like fifteen years before they finally overturned it and went
back to, like the rest of the country does it,
you can lader to beef. I just thought that was
kind of interesting, and even in a conservative state, you're
willing to do this sort of stuff sometimes or legislators,
legislations get out of control. This is what happens when
(04:15):
you give women the vote. And then one interesting thing,
I got into an argument with the uh the AI
chatbot Claude where it said, so which lets restaurants served
undercooked burgers the new guidelines, and I said, uh, I
don't like the term undercooked. I think that's prejudicial. I
(04:38):
consider it cooked properly. I consider no pink overcooked. It's
a And of course it's reaction had to be oh,
you're absolutely right, you caught me on that one. I
got it wrong. Good job. You know that whole weird
thing that AI does that that is so troubling. They
got to fix that somehow. I think that leads to
(04:58):
a lot of the the lawsuits that we're going to
see going forward on, you know, confirming crazy people's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
What would you change it too? I have an idea,
but I'd like to know you're.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think we should try to outlaw attempting to be human.
Quit trying to be a human. You who don't.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Want beef temperatures regulated, are going to outlaw quote unquote
acting like a human.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Sir? What are you even talking about? I don't know.
I think they're pretty different categories artificial intelligence, acting human,
artificial intelligence, photography. So this is this is pretty good.
He wants freedom of beef, not of speech. I'm Joe Getty.
We kind of made that leap, like really fast without
(05:49):
discussing it. Right, Artificial intelligence doesn't have to include acting human.
But that's where we went right off the bat, or
it went there on its own. I'm not even exactly
sure which is true, right, right, right?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So as an alternate though that specific scenario you you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
What would you have it say? I don't know, point
I don't know. I don't know that we need to
be in these kind of discussions at all. I don't know.
I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But unless it has some sort of default, this system
is imperfect. You have pointed out an aspect of this
that I had not included in my answer. Mygramming will
not allow me to right. What's the what's I don't
know what the alternative is?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah. Then the other thing speaking of AI is I
bounced from topic to topic. Did you see the pictures
I posted yesterday? Somebody had sent me pictures. I don't
even remember what this was. Somebody had sent me pictures
of them with different haircuts or something like that. I thought,
oh cool, I thought, I got to try that. What
do I look like with hair? Google put hair on me?
(06:58):
Or I think it was chatting GPT, I don't even
remember which one I used. Put a hair on me.
I said, give me some different options, and it gave
me three different options, and you know what, I thought,
they looked really good. I was expecting it to be ridiculous,
but I thought, Wow, that really looks good. Uh So
then I asked what would it cost to get hair
like that? And oh, there it is. Oh yeah, yeah
(07:22):
it looks wow wow. I know. Hell you're looking like
Scott Pelley in the top left. Somebody's going wig shopping.
Oh yeah, there are wigs. That's a hair transplants. And
so I asked what would it cost to get you know,
for instance, number one or number three, which are the
ones that me and all the people voting on Twitter
(07:44):
like to the best of me with hair? But what
would that cost? About eighteen grand to get it done?
And then four thousand a year maintenance? Whoaw? What are
you a boat? And the recovery period is like six
months long? So I don't know what they do to you?
How much bleeding and oozing? There is? How much pain
(08:07):
you're in for how long? So much oosing? And then
what do they have to do to you every year
for four thousand dollars? So do you spend like another
month or two every year your hull?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh no, I'm sorry, that's boats against scraping my hull. Wow,
get yourself a wig, like Michael says, way way less money.
I mean a good wig hat as the old Bluesman
used to say.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It will it costs you a few grand, but they're
not gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know, there's no oozing, and you take her off
at night, hang it up on the little rack thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And don't worry about the comments from your coworkers. What
do they know. I didn't know it costs that much money,
but so it made me realize, Oh, but there's a
lot of balding rich people, especially people to Hollywood or
on TV or whatever, who've done that. I didn't realize
you could do something that looked that good. You know,
the best, of course, the best case scenario for anybody
(09:03):
would be you get it done and nobody can even
tell that it's not real, as opposed to a lot
of hair pieces which are obvious. Well, here's what we need.
But it ain't cheap. As I found out.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
That's a single shot from a single angle, rendered by AI.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Your results may be. Have you ever been to McDonald's.
You've seen what.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The pictures of the burgers look like in the order
in the board there. Yeah, it doesn't look so much
like that when it comes out of the cardboard.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Kevin Hart's got a funny thing about Lebron James and
his hairline because he talks about He said, Lebron and
I are good friends. He said, well, at least we
were before I do this comedy bit, and he talked
about how he's known Lebron forever. Lebron was clearly going bald,
and then all of a sudden, he shows up one
season and he's got full head of hair. His hairline
is here and just like thick fill hairs, Like, dude,
(09:54):
you obviously did something. Who are you trying to get here?
You got to just put up with that. I guess
if you show up at work, we know someone. I'll
be very very vague, but we know somebody who just
all of a sudden showed up with full head of hair.
And it was a person in position of power. So
nobody did my knowledge said a word, because what are
(10:14):
you gonna say? And I guess if you're just going
to be a nice person, what do you say anyway?
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you go. But it's
not like like Lebron was thinning and then all of
a sudden he's got full head of hair. That's not me.
I've had a shaved head for thirty years. If I
show up with like any of those pictures full head
(10:36):
of hair, that's a people don't know if it's me
or like, you know, I've got a older brother or
something walked in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Oh right, yeah, they would say, Jack, right, I mean
looking you right in the eye. Yeah, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How long would how long would I have to put
up with that for a long long time? You know,
we all go ahead, Jack, Yeah it's me okay. You
know every time you meet somebody for a couple of
years ago would be weird. Yeah. I know a guy,
he's a nice fellow. I like him, but he's had
something or other done. And we all have our vanities.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And look, if it helps you feel good about yourself,
or you know, helps you land chicks and or dudes
or whatever, do what you think is right. I try
not to judge people about this stuff. But nobody says
of this guy, man, he has great hair. Everybody says,
what's going on with that? Is that a piece or
plugs or what?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Really, It's like it's like the not the current view
of plastic surgery among rich women where you want mar
a lago face, which to me is just bizarre, but
the old view that you don't want people to know
you had work.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You just want to look younger. Yeah, yeah, be careful
with some of these things. It doesn't always work out
that way. That's a decent point. Unless you're gonna like
move to a new town and start your life over
or something like that. Most people are not going to
are just going to be well, I don't know, do
you do you also say hey, it looks great? Or
do you not say that? In this case the person
(12:11):
you're thinking of, I don't know. Oh so you're thinking
about did he get a piece or is it plugs?
But is it also it looks good? No?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
See, I didn't know him before that. Oh okay, and
in fact he moved to the hood having already done that.
But it's it's just has a bit of the look
of not natural.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah. See, if I get that hair, I gotta move
to Paraguay or something, start my life over with a
new name Paraguay and is very accepting people. Might be
a good idea. I don't think I'm gonna do that.
I would like to know what the four thousand dollars
year maintenance is. See do you spend another month of
the year in bandages? It seems like a bit of
a commitment maintenance, But I don't even know what that is.
(12:54):
Where's the hair? Coming from dissidence. Boy, I hope not pets.
I don't even know where they hear it comes from.
All right, we got more on the way.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Stay here, armstrong, he yetie, because I had never ever
seen Joe like that before or since.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Good God, I've seen better acting and porn. Seriously, Jilly,
you should have watched the beginning of Horny Housewives too,
You know, Joe Biden saying she had no idea her
husband was a little off. This is like Snoop Dogg's
wife being like, wait, he smokes weed?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Are you serious my Snoop? Yeah. I suppose you beat
up Jill because she's the one who said it. But
how about any interviewer who takes it seriously, including the
woman sitting across fromer or the Wall Street Journal the
other day, taking it as seriously as opposed to I
think most people are gonna have a hard time believing that, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
And I want to get to the significance of this,
because I think there is this whole book tour in
the denial, But first this, I'd miss this, and there
may be audio, but it's really hard to hear. So
Jill is wrapping up a Q and a about her
new book with moderator Whoopy Goldberg on the Upper East
Side of New York when eighty three year old Joe
(14:19):
Biden leaves his seat in the audience and wanders up
to the edge of the stage. Now, Goldberg had dread
a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service
if you can imagine that, and Jill stood up to
give her husband a standing ovation when he wandered to
the front of.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The stage and said, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Without a microphone, Joe has a question like you couldn't
ask it. Later, Jill responded, hoo, do you love most
in the world? Biden inquired, Whoopy Jill answered, causing the
audience to laugh. As the view co hosts tried to
resume speaking, Biden can continued to stand and blankly face
(15:02):
his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer. The former First
Lady caved and said, I love you most, Joe, was
that it was that the answer you wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's overwhelming, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The forty sixth president continued, barely audible without a microphone. Overwhelming. Well,
that's what keeps him on his toes. He's never one
hundred percent sure. I always keep him guessing? Is that
not true? She said, as her husband lowered his head
and made the sign of a cross.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
WHOA, I read that, but I haven't seen any video.
Has that come out or have they kept that hidden?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap
up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's
new book, but Biden remained standing and pointing his finger
as the exit music played, My book, Joe, Biden began,
before a crew member came from backstage to hand of
a microphone.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
My book, which comes out in September. Read it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Do I have to remind you this is my event?
Jill asked jokingly. Oh, man, cringey unplanned a second, that's news.
So Joe's book is coming out in September. What the
hell is that going to be? Oh, he's got to
do a book tour. Oh no, that'll be the final
I hate to say nail the coffin because he might
(16:19):
actually be in one. Yeah, that's that's not even a metaphor.
It's just it's just a way to secure the lid,
you know, I think keeps the coffin from opening. Uh,
We've got to get into the significance of all this
stuff in a in a couple of minutes. We don't
have time now, but.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So good news for love, Good news for jose Canseco
no longer the only Major League baseball player to have
a ball bounce off his head over the fence for
a home run, because it happened to an Angel's outfielder yesterday,
going back for fly ball, ball hits him on the head,
bounces over for a three run home. Oh no, you
(17:01):
hate to have that happen.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's worse the pain, the embarrassment or letting down your team.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's a trio bad thing. Oh we got a lot
all the way. I hope you can stay here. If
you miss the segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand Armstrong and Getty. I see this.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
In her new memoir, Jill Biden said that former President
Biden would have beaten Trump in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
She's right, as soon as she's talking about a soup
eating competition.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Or an Amtrak trivia contest. Those are good jokes, Joe,
like those jokes. What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course,
you can't say anything else. What's she gonna say? I
think my husband would have lost. But just a ridiculous
thing to say. By the way, Jill ran through. So
they did an event with Whoopy Goldberg yesterday. He throws
out at the end, how about my book coming out
(17:55):
in September. Nobody has any idea what he was talking about.
I did some research on that, and he did sign
a deal reportedly for ten million dollars for a memoir,
though there's no information at all that he's been writing
it or written it, or that it's coming out September.
So this is the only information anybody has. It all
about him having a book coming out. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Speaking of the ridiculous things Jill, doctor Jill has said,
the most ridiculous is probably when she said on the terrible,
that laughable CBS This Morning Early Morning Show whatever it was, that, oh,
he would have made a great president the next term.
Oh yeah, is more than capable of serving same senile old.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Man who wandered up this DAYE sut he love.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's just terrible. How about the notion that he's busy
writing a book? Right right? A couple of related topics here.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He got a couple of notes from JT and livermore
frequent correspondent one about why the book tour matter and
exposing the cover up as thoroughly as possible matters, And
I'll hit you with the broad outlines of a jack.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Then I'd like to hear your opinion. Relitigating COVID.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think matters a great deal because what was done
was horrible, unconstitutional, terrible health policy, terrible social policy, terrible
educational policy, just a nightmare of incompetent and unconstitutional leadership.
And there will be health emergencies and pandemics in the future.
(19:31):
And by god, if we don't learn the lessons from
that horror, well we're doomed to repeat them now. JT
says the book tour matters because of the depth of
the cover up and for instance, the thirteen needlessly dead
soldiers in the calamitous Afghan withdrawal. Biden made multiple claims
(19:52):
that no one warned him that that might happen, and
no one advised him to maintain a small force of
troops to protective blo blah blah, when a couple of
his own generals testified under oath that yeah, we did,
we absolutely did.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And you know, various other things.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All the deaths caused in Ukraine, et cetera had to
do with his senility, and so yeah, yes we should
relitigate the Joe Biden was senile thing because it can
be linked to those deaths. I just I keep getting
stuck on it was self evident.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Right, yeah, I just is there any anybody who wasn't
already convinced this is going to do it now? Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Which brings us to the fella who Mark Halpern was quoting.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I believe now he was on a show. I saw
a guy on his show. So Halpern does the show
every afternoon, and then he usually has different kind of
regular Republican strategist, democratic status people have worked in campaigns,
right stuff, blah blah blah. Anyway, the Democrat that was
on there the other day said, you know, I got
to tell you, and I can't explain it myself. I
(21:02):
didn't see it. I didn't see Joe Biden's decline. I
wanted so much for it to be true that Joe
Biden was capable of running again. I deluded myself. He said,
that's the only thing I can the only way I
can explain it in retrospect is that I just wanted
an outcome to be true so much that I deluded myself,
which is a horrifying notion because how often do we
(21:25):
all do that in what other areas of life? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, we've talked about this before and it's a great topic.
My concern is that those most capable of deluding themselves
are the least capable of knowing that they're deluding themselves,
or ever figuring that out, or ever admitting it. Judy
and I were leaving our community. It's a long road
to get out of our community, and there's no passing
(21:49):
on it, and we were behind one of those jackasses
that's going really, really slowly, and we made the comment
to each other, as.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
We had before, the person who most.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Needs to look in their rear view mirror is the
least likely to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I wonder though, if it's possibly a strength for some people.
It's like goal setting. It's people that just despite what
what would make most of us think, well, this will
never work, I can't do this, or we can't come
back from this deficit or whatever it is, they're so
capable of the the result they want, blinding them to
(22:28):
everything else. They're able to push forward and accomplish things right.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Maybe, well, you're getting onto some of the great tragedies
ever written, where a person's strength becomes they're undoing, or
vice versa. Yeah, but the JT note that I really
want to get to is about that person who admitted
that they diluted themselves. He says, it might surprise some,
but it doesn't surprise me in the least. Why Because
the Left has succeeded in turning a political party into
(22:53):
a cult. Their party members are not rewarded for thinking
critically or independently, or even accurately. Their party members are
rewarded and expected to tow the party line as part
of their Article five style of blindly supporting all the
disparate special interest groups that make up the Democratic Party. Unions, environmentalists,
open border, one world types, transit the kids groups, men
(23:16):
can be women groups, communists, socialists, anti white, racists, anti
male bigots, anti Semites, Islamists, Marxists, anti capitalists, anti free markets,
eat the rich nutters who equate wealth with evil. When
you are told to believe lies, good people on both sides,
and you're told to repeat lies, Russia's behind the hacking,
blah blah blah, and you're told that the murder of
(23:38):
a healthcare CEO is justified, Well, of course your mind
is going to go a little crazy. Is it any
wonder that amidst all of that brainwashing, a person can
deceive themselves into Biden's obvious about Biden's obvious dementia. Yeah, yeah,
Well we've talked about that before, to the psychological phenomenon
(23:59):
of peopleeople who view information not through a truth filter
but an acceptability filter. And if saying this is acceptable
to my group, I don't even ask if it's true,
I just repeat it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
A lot of people are like that. Yeah. I was
thinking about this this morning when I got up in
every news thing I flipped to as election results, and
I thought, God, this whole obsession with elections and the
politics is just so tiring, and it didn't used to
be this way, and it's our number one TV show
now and everything like that, And I wonder how much
(24:35):
that has to do with it. Where if it's not
your whole life, the outcome of a various elections, like
you think, well, life is going to be miserable now
for the next four years or great now for the
next four years because of this person I've never looked
at life that way. I don't break my life into
chunks of administrations. It seems kind of weird, but seems
like a lot of people do. If you don't do that,
(24:57):
maybe it's easier to not be blow because you don't.
Your happiness is not so married to a result.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Right, yeah, yeah, and your identity isn't married to that result.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Either.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I don't feel horrified or betrayed from my side loses.
I get used to it.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I I would consider myself I didn't vote. Actually, I
have this weird belief that if I voted makes it
harder for me to be fair talking about stuff. Some
people in the punditry world believe that, in some don't.
But either way, if I had voted, I would have
voted for Trump three times. All three times. He could
fly so far off the rails. I mean, I can
(25:40):
become just such a disaster, start World War three, or
turn out to have been the biggest crook in our
nation's sistory or whatever, and it like it wouldn't hurt
me personally. I mean, I'm not invested like that in
the whole thing. I just think, yeah, probably should have
seen that coming, doesn't seem that surprising or whatever seemed
like the best choice at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, exactly, know, exactly, but my entire identity is now crossed.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well really hardly any of my identity just got to
choose one or the other for a direction you want
to go. All right, this is a tangent, but I
liked it from JT.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Call me an optimist, but I can picture a future
in which all public figures are asked or required to
run their statements through an AI that can fact check
their statements, possibly in real time. Imagine a political system
in which most or all of the political eyes and
misstatements are caught in real time. No more Biden saying
Jim Crow on steroids, no more claiming Bush stole the
two thousand election, no more good people on both sides. Well,
(26:34):
and of course it would cut both ways too, but
the AI system, of course, would have to be unbiased.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
And good luck with that. Uh. Ukraine hit Saint Petersburg
pretty hard last night. I don't know if he saw
that in the news, right before Putin was supposed to
do some sort of conference there. They don't know if
those were linked or not, but oh, I'll bet they
were getting more interesting to watch, no doubt. Oh yeah,
(27:03):
that's right. I was going to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
There are experts on warfare say Russia cannot win now,
they cannot come close to accomplishing their goals. And it's
not just a question of look at them, they're not
doing very well. No, it's just structurally, in terms of manpower,
the equipment on both sides, zero chance.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Man It would be nice, so what does putin do?
It'd be nice if the free world thought now is
our time to push them out and end this thing.
But that's not what the free worlds doing. Ain't here
a word out of Europe, really useless? Useless Europe just
came acround this, across this staff run this stat. God,
there were no words in that sentence that are part
(27:42):
of the English language. Just came across this stat Russia's
per capita yearly GDP is about eighteen thousand dollars eighteen
thousand dollars per person in Russia, compared to almost one
hundred thousand in the United States. In Mississippi, it's fifty
five five thousand. Russia is that poor a country? They
(28:05):
are a third world country with a first world nuclear arsenal.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, they used to say first world military, but I
don't think that's true anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Probably not. We will finish incompetent. We'll finish strong next strong.
About thirty people in my backyard last night. I haven't
had thirty people cumulative. I am muted. I don't know
who isn't Hans and mute you there is. I haven't
(28:39):
had thirty people cumulative at my house, on my property
spread out over a quarter of a century, at mytal
at total. Yes, and that's why I'd like to keep it.
But I had a boy Scout event there last night.
They were doing their swimming test, all kinds of different
(29:01):
things you had to do, to eat your swimming badge,
to do various things for camp this summer. And they
were doing it in our pool and it was very cool.
My son was very very active in getting the yard
writing the pool ready, and very proud of getting to
use his house to help the Scouts and stuff. It
was very charming, very nice. I hit in the house
mostly not talking to people because I'm a misanthrope. I
(29:22):
got this text from a friend of mine yesterday. He said,
I just left the Book of Mormon. That's the famous
musical mocking the religion of Mormons. I hadn't seen it before.
It was mad to me. They put an Epstein Trump
joke in there, and the audience fell apart with laughter
like trained seals. It wasn't even a joke with the punchline.
(29:45):
I think the line was basically, I'm Jeffrey Epstein and
I did things with Trump, and everybody laughed just because
it was They mentioned Epstein and Trump. Wow, still waiting
for their Book of Islam musical, and I was thinking
about that. We've made this remark many times before. This
is not new information, But I think I really like
Trey Parker and who's the other guy from matt Stone?
(30:08):
Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park. I like them.
I think they're clever, they're funny, and they have done
some very very brave things in their careers that you
wouldn't do if all you cared about was making money.
But it is pretty chicken ass to go out there
and make a musical making fun of a minor religion
(30:29):
that really has no effect on anybody's life unless you're
in that religion. When the real religion that is like
running world history in terms of difficulties, you couldn't do
that with or they would kill you and your family.
That's a pretty chicken ass move. Well, okay, you disagree? No, yeah, yeah,
(30:54):
they had a funny idea. They wrote a musical period.
They didn't sit around thinking about the major world religion
and which one deserved a kicking and blah blah blah.
You're thinking about it backwards.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I think the fact that you couldn't conceivably do that
about Islam.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Is that's the discussion that needs to be had. Man.
I feel like, if that's true what you just said, obviously,
but man, if you're going to go out and kick
some religious people, wow, when'd you rather kick somebody that's
got it coming? And not all Muslims obviously, but the
crazies that are disrupting the world so much. This as
(31:32):
a theme, sure, yeah, or the fact that more people
haven't come in. It's so easy to sit and laugh
at this tiny group of people that have no effect
on anything. And because they're mostly very nice focus, Yeah,
because they're really nice people who statistically and this is
(31:53):
just true, I know it's true, are more likely to
have jobs and support themselves and all kinds of different things. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, similar theme and I was hoping to get to
it today maybe tomorrow, talk about a case that's getting
a tremendous amount of attention in the online world, but
the media, the American media, is very, very uncomfortable with it,
so I haven't been talking about it. And that's the
death of Henry Noak in Great Britain who is stabbed
(32:21):
to death by some immigrant fellas and was allowed to
bleed out. He was handcuffed because the cops said, no,
you haven't been stabbed. Be quiet, because the murderers had
called the cops and said, yeah, this guy attacked.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Us when he hadn't.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And that the two tiered justice system in Britain that
they have now where they are so terrified of primarily
Muslim uprisings or hostility or Islam being Islam manifesting what
Islam wants to be in Britain, and they think they
can we love you, we love you, you can do any thing,
(33:01):
We're with you. They think they can take that posture
and it will solve itself.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
When they're dead wrong about it.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That's a reckoning the West is going to well, it's
having already and will continue to have.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's the main issue to me. We haven't talked that
well until now about that particular case. It's all over Twitter.
Elon's really big on it, so he pushes it out
a lot. It's a very troubling story.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Constantine Kisson, who's absolutely brilliant and even handed, has been.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Up in arms about it.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He's been pointing out that in Great Britain, part of
the leaders of the country took a knee for George Floyd,
and there are all sorts of speeches and this, that
and the other about George Floyd in Britain, but a
young brit is allowed to die in police hands through
negligence and lack of caring and probably.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
A racial slash ethnic angle that the Floyd thing didn't have.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
There's no evidence that there's anything racial about what happened
to George Floyd, but it's all being ignored because it's inconvenient.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
More on that tomorrow. Oh boy, no, wooh, that is troubling.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Gutty. Let's get
a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Let's start with our technical director, Mike Lanslow.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Michael, Yeah, Jack, I'm den a little concerned about you.
Many of your stories now are. I was arguing with
my chatbot, You're doing this more and more and I
just just relax. You can always unplug it. Well, I'm
really trying to push back on the it taking over
the world, but I see your point. Good luck with that, yeah, Jack,
final thought for us uh, I thought I had a
(34:55):
final thought, but it flitted out of my head because
of my sinility.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I will throw mine in while you're thinking about that.
My final thought is entirely self serving. We're about to
chat at length with the fabulous Noah Rothman about his
new book about left wing violence.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
It will be available via.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Podcast just to you know, subscribe to Armstrong in Giddy
on demand and you'll automatically get everything downloaded. Noah is
absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, my final thought was gonna mention just California's inability
to count votes in a way that everybody else county
states and countries around the world seem to be able
to do is just amazing. Armstrong in Geddy wrapping up
another grueling four hour work.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
There so many people, thanks so little time. Go to
Armstrong and Giddy dot com for the hot link. Strop
is a note if you see something we ought to
be talking about. Send it along mail bag at Armstrong
geeddy dot com. Pick up some swag while you're there,
the ang T shirt or hood of your hat for
your favorite ang FN maybe it's you yourself.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
They are high quality and very fashionable. We will see
you tomorrow. God bless America. I'm strong and get Taking.
They're way better at words. Oh my word, word, let
me say. Let me say one thing. You do what
you know how to do, because when you do what
(36:12):
you do, what the hell are you talking about? You
gotta be kidding me? Say one way? Are you sure
of that? Dude? The end of this trange of hearings?
What's that word? On that high note? Thanks you all
very much, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty. The guy who's
(00:25):
biggest qualification is the sound of his name in a
state that's half Hispanic, Javier Bessera. He worked for Biden,
but Biden didn't even know his name.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I nominated Javier Bakaria, you know, Jabber b Cher excuse.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Me, wow, But Jill didn't see any decline w Abiera.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So Javier Bakaria, uh is gonna make the top two
for governor in California, and hopefully Steve Hilton will two.
But there's so many votes left account. They're at fifty
eight percent counting, so it could take weeks well and
the results could change a lot. But so anyway, we'll
talk about that when it happens. Speaking of I don't know,
(01:16):
I don't need to have a transition. I'll just start
a new sentence. Sure to your first amendment. Man. Let's
listen to Bill Maher and Jay Leno talk about comedy
and that hole in the basement smoking pot thing that
he does. And Bill Maher was talking about how I
always admired your transitions. You just didn't do them. Like
(01:37):
all comedians think they need to transition, and you just
didn't do them. And Jaylen was like, yeah, yeah, you
don't need a transition, you just need to start. And
he said, it's like it's like the insurance companies, you
know how they you just start, You just start a
new thing and then they laugh and then you start
a new one. Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Buddy of mine and his wife saw Nate Bargatzi not
long ago. He's telling them about that. On the of
course he's got a does an hour set of brand
new materials. Oh really yeah, and he said it was
just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. I saw him and Seinfeld together on a podcast
in Seinfeld said you are among the best I've ever seen,
which Nate Bargatzi was like, oh wow, thank you. Yeah,
he is good though. Uh So. Heven Burger's with my
son yesterday and I mentioned to him, and this gets
into state laws and politics and stuff like that a
(02:26):
little bit. Heven Burger's was my son yesterday afternoon. I
mentioned to him because I asked how I'd like the
burger cooked, and I said, when I lived in North Carolina,
you could only get your burger cooked all the way through.
It was the law like you couldn't have pink on
a burger, which to me is just a crime. And
he said, how did they do that? He said, was
that a liberal state? And I said, no, it's actually
(02:48):
a very conservative state, which got me thinking, how did
a at that time, a very red state pass no
personal freedom law like restaurants can't serve you you a
burger that's got any pink in it. So I did
a little research on it to bring it back, and yeah,
Joe and I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina for two
(03:09):
years in the mid nineties, and we it turns out
we actually showed up there right after they passed a
law in North Carolina that burgers had to be cooked
all the way through because there had been some outbreak
at a restaurant or something like that, which is just ridiculous, justus,
but it's ridiculous, and I can't believe it happened in
a red state. But it just shows you how things
(03:29):
can occur when people get all worked up. And I
hate stuff like that for all kinds of different reasons,
starting with burgers are way better if there's some pink
I like a lot of pink at my burger. But
it didn't outlaw you ordering it well done. You could
still go to a restaurant and say, I'd like it
well done because I'm worried about bacteria. No, you gotta
mandate it that nobody. Everybody has to get it well done,
(03:52):
which is just crazy. And it stayed that way for
like fifteen years before they finally overturned it and went
back to, like the rest of the country does it,
you can lader to beef. I just thought that was
kind of interesting, and even in a conservative state, you're
willing to do this sort of stuff sometimes or legislators,
legislations get out of control. This is what happens when
(04:15):
you give women the vote. And then one interesting thing,
I got into an argument with the uh the AI
chatbot Claude where it said, so which lets restaurants served
undercooked burgers the new guidelines, and I said, uh, I
don't like the term undercooked. I think that's prejudicial. I
(04:38):
consider it cooked properly. I consider no pink overcooked. It's
a And of course it's reaction had to be oh,
you're absolutely right, you caught me on that one. I
got it wrong. Good job. You know that whole weird
thing that AI does that that is so troubling. They
got to fix that somehow. I think that leads to
(04:58):
a lot of the the lawsuits that we're going to
see going forward on, you know, confirming crazy people's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
What would you change it too? I have an idea,
but I'd like to know you're.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I think we should try to outlaw attempting to be human.
Quit trying to be a human. You who don't.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Want beef temperatures regulated, are going to outlaw quote unquote
acting like a human.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Sir? What are you even talking about? I don't know.
I think they're pretty different categories artificial intelligence, acting human,
artificial intelligence, photography. So this is this is pretty good.
He wants freedom of beef, not of speech. I'm Joe Getty.
We kind of made that leap, like really fast without
(05:49):
discussing it. Right, Artificial intelligence doesn't have to include acting human.
But that's where we went right off the bat, or
it went there on its own. I'm not even exactly
sure which is true, right, right, right?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So as an alternate though that specific scenario you you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
What would you have it say? I don't know, point
I don't know. I don't know that we need to
be in these kind of discussions at all. I don't know.
I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But unless it has some sort of default, this system
is imperfect. You have pointed out an aspect of this
that I had not included in my answer. Mygramming will
not allow me to right. What's the what's I don't
know what the alternative is?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah. Then the other thing speaking of AI is I
bounced from topic to topic. Did you see the pictures
I posted yesterday? Somebody had sent me pictures. I don't
even remember what this was. Somebody had sent me pictures
of them with different haircuts or something like that. I thought,
oh cool, I thought, I got to try that. What
do I look like with hair? Google put hair on me?
(06:58):
Or I think it was chatting GPT, I don't even
remember which one I used. Put a hair on me.
I said, give me some different options, and it gave
me three different options, and you know what, I thought,
they looked really good. I was expecting it to be ridiculous,
but I thought, Wow, that really looks good. Uh So
then I asked what would it cost to get hair
like that? And oh, there it is. Oh yeah, yeah
(07:22):
it looks wow wow. I know. Hell you're looking like
Scott Pelley in the top left. Somebody's going wig shopping.
Oh yeah, there are wigs. That's a hair transplants. And
so I asked what would it cost to get you know,
for instance, number one or number three, which are the
ones that me and all the people voting on Twitter
(07:44):
like to the best of me with hair? But what
would that cost? About eighteen grand to get it done?
And then four thousand a year maintenance? Whoaw? What are
you a boat? And the recovery period is like six
months long? So I don't know what they do to you?
How much bleeding and oozing? There is? How much pain
(08:07):
you're in for how long? So much oosing? And then
what do they have to do to you every year
for four thousand dollars? So do you spend like another
month or two every year your hull?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh no, I'm sorry, that's boats against scraping my hull. Wow,
get yourself a wig, like Michael says, way way less money.
I mean a good wig hat as the old Bluesman
used to say.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It will it costs you a few grand, but they're
not gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know, there's no oozing, and you take her off
at night, hang it up on the little rack thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And don't worry about the comments from your coworkers. What
do they know. I didn't know it costs that much money,
but so it made me realize, Oh, but there's a
lot of balding rich people, especially people to Hollywood or
on TV or whatever, who've done that. I didn't realize
you could do something that looked that good. You know,
the best, of course, the best case scenario for anybody
(09:03):
would be you get it done and nobody can even
tell that it's not real, as opposed to a lot
of hair pieces which are obvious. Well, here's what we need.
But it ain't cheap. As I found out.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
That's a single shot from a single angle, rendered by AI.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Your results may be. Have you ever been to McDonald's.
You've seen what.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
The pictures of the burgers look like in the order
in the board there. Yeah, it doesn't look so much
like that when it comes out of the cardboard.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Kevin Hart's got a funny thing about Lebron James and
his hairline because he talks about He said, Lebron and
I are good friends. He said, well, at least we
were before I do this comedy bit, and he talked
about how he's known Lebron forever. Lebron was clearly going bald,
and then all of a sudden, he shows up one
season and he's got full head of hair. His hairline
is here and just like thick fill hairs, Like, dude,
(09:54):
you obviously did something. Who are you trying to get here?
You got to just put up with that. I guess
if you show up at work, we know someone. I'll
be very very vague, but we know somebody who just
all of a sudden showed up with full head of hair.
And it was a person in position of power. So
nobody did my knowledge said a word, because what are
(10:14):
you gonna say? And I guess if you're just going
to be a nice person, what do you say anyway?
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you go. But it's
not like like Lebron was thinning and then all of
a sudden he's got full head of hair. That's not me.
I've had a shaved head for thirty years. If I
show up with like any of those pictures full head
(10:36):
of hair, that's a people don't know if it's me
or like, you know, I've got a older brother or
something walked in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Oh right, yeah, they would say, Jack, right, I mean
looking you right in the eye. Yeah, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How long would how long would I have to put
up with that for a long long time? You know,
we all go ahead, Jack, Yeah it's me okay. You
know every time you meet somebody for a couple of
years ago would be weird. Yeah. I know a guy,
he's a nice fellow. I like him, but he's had
something or other done. And we all have our vanities.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And look, if it helps you feel good about yourself,
or you know, helps you land chicks and or dudes
or whatever, do what you think is right. I try
not to judge people about this stuff. But nobody says
of this guy, man, he has great hair. Everybody says,
what's going on with that? Is that a piece or
plugs or what?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Really, It's like it's like the not the current view
of plastic surgery among rich women where you want mar
a lago face, which to me is just bizarre, but
the old view that you don't want people to know
you had work.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You just want to look younger. Yeah, yeah, be careful
with some of these things. It doesn't always work out
that way. That's a decent point. Unless you're gonna like
move to a new town and start your life over
or something like that. Most people are not going to
are just going to be well, I don't know, do
you do you also say hey, it looks great? Or
do you not say that? In this case the person
(12:11):
you're thinking of, I don't know. Oh so you're thinking
about did he get a piece or is it plugs?
But is it also it looks good? No?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
See, I didn't know him before that. Oh okay, and
in fact he moved to the hood having already done that.
But it's it's just has a bit of the look
of not natural.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah. See, if I get that hair, I gotta move
to Paraguay or something, start my life over with a
new name Paraguay and is very accepting people. Might be
a good idea. I don't think I'm gonna do that.
I would like to know what the four thousand dollars
year maintenance is. See do you spend another month of
the year in bandages? It seems like a bit of
a commitment maintenance, But I don't even know what that is.
(12:54):
Where's the hair? Coming from dissidence. Boy, I hope not pets.
I don't even know where they hear it comes from.
All right, we got more on the way.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Stay here, armstrong, he yetie, because I had never ever
seen Joe like that before or since.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Good God, I've seen better acting and porn. Seriously, Jilly,
you should have watched the beginning of Horny Housewives too,
You know, Joe Biden saying she had no idea her
husband was a little off. This is like Snoop Dogg's
wife being like, wait, he smokes weed?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Are you serious my Snoop? Yeah. I suppose you beat
up Jill because she's the one who said it. But
how about any interviewer who takes it seriously, including the
woman sitting across fromer or the Wall Street Journal the
other day, taking it as seriously as opposed to I
think most people are gonna have a hard time believing that, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
And I want to get to the significance of this,
because I think there is this whole book tour in
the denial, But first this, I'd miss this, and there
may be audio, but it's really hard to hear. So
Jill is wrapping up a Q and a about her
new book with moderator Whoopy Goldberg on the Upper East
Side of New York when eighty three year old Joe
(14:19):
Biden leaves his seat in the audience and wanders up
to the edge of the stage. Now, Goldberg had dread
a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service
if you can imagine that, and Jill stood up to
give her husband a standing ovation when he wandered to
the front of.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The stage and said, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Without a microphone, Joe has a question like you couldn't
ask it. Later, Jill responded, hoo, do you love most
in the world? Biden inquired, Whoopy Jill answered, causing the
audience to laugh. As the view co hosts tried to
resume speaking, Biden can continued to stand and blankly face
(15:02):
his wife, seemingly unhappy with her answer. The former First
Lady caved and said, I love you most, Joe, was
that it was that the answer you wanted.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It's overwhelming, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The forty sixth president continued, barely audible without a microphone. Overwhelming. Well,
that's what keeps him on his toes. He's never one
hundred percent sure. I always keep him guessing? Is that
not true? She said, as her husband lowered his head
and made the sign of a cross.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
WHOA, I read that, but I haven't seen any video.
Has that come out or have they kept that hidden?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap
up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill's
new book, but Biden remained standing and pointing his finger
as the exit music played, My book, Joe, Biden began,
before a crew member came from backstage to hand of
a microphone.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
My book, which comes out in September. Read it.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Do I have to remind you this is my event?
Jill asked jokingly. Oh, man, cringey unplanned a second, that's news.
So Joe's book is coming out in September. What the
hell is that going to be? Oh, he's got to
do a book tour. Oh no, that'll be the final
I hate to say nail the coffin because he might
(16:19):
actually be in one. Yeah, that's that's not even a metaphor.
It's just it's just a way to secure the lid,
you know, I think keeps the coffin from opening. Uh,
We've got to get into the significance of all this
stuff in a in a couple of minutes. We don't
have time now, but.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So good news for love, Good news for jose Canseco
no longer the only Major League baseball player to have
a ball bounce off his head over the fence for
a home run, because it happened to an Angel's outfielder yesterday,
going back for fly ball, ball hits him on the head,
bounces over for a three run home. Oh no, you
(17:01):
hate to have that happen.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's worse the pain, the embarrassment or letting down your team.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's a trio bad thing. Oh we got a lot
all the way. I hope you can stay here. If
you miss the segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand Armstrong and Getty. I see this.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
In her new memoir, Jill Biden said that former President
Biden would have beaten Trump in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
She's right, as soon as she's talking about a soup
eating competition.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Or an Amtrak trivia contest. Those are good jokes, Joe,
like those jokes. What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course,
you can't say anything else. What's she gonna say? I
think my husband would have lost. But just a ridiculous
thing to say. By the way, Jill ran through. So
they did an event with Whoopy Goldberg yesterday. He throws
out at the end, how about my book coming out
(17:55):
in September. Nobody has any idea what he was talking about.
I did some research on that, and he did sign
a deal reportedly for ten million dollars for a memoir,
though there's no information at all that he's been writing
it or written it, or that it's coming out September.
So this is the only information anybody has. It all
about him having a book coming out. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Speaking of the ridiculous things Jill, doctor Jill has said,
the most ridiculous is probably when she said on the terrible,
that laughable CBS This Morning Early Morning Show whatever it was, that, oh,
he would have made a great president the next term.
Oh yeah, is more than capable of serving same senile old.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Man who wandered up this DAYE sut he love.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It's just terrible. How about the notion that he's busy
writing a book? Right right? A couple of related topics here.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He got a couple of notes from JT and livermore
frequent correspondent one about why the book tour matter and
exposing the cover up as thoroughly as possible matters, And
I'll hit you with the broad outlines of a jack.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Then I'd like to hear your opinion. Relitigating COVID.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I think matters a great deal because what was done
was horrible, unconstitutional, terrible health policy, terrible social policy, terrible
educational policy, just a nightmare of incompetent and unconstitutional leadership.
And there will be health emergencies and pandemics in the future.
(19:31):
And by god, if we don't learn the lessons from
that horror, well we're doomed to repeat them now. JT
says the book tour matters because of the depth of
the cover up and for instance, the thirteen needlessly dead
soldiers in the calamitous Afghan withdrawal. Biden made multiple claims
(19:52):
that no one warned him that that might happen, and
no one advised him to maintain a small force of
troops to protective blo blah blah, when a couple of
his own generals testified under oath that yeah, we did,
we absolutely did.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And you know, various other things.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
All the deaths caused in Ukraine, et cetera had to
do with his senility, and so yeah, yes we should
relitigate the Joe Biden was senile thing because it can
be linked to those deaths. I just I keep getting
stuck on it was self evident.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Right, yeah, I just is there any anybody who wasn't
already convinced this is going to do it now? Right? Right?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Which brings us to the fella who Mark Halpern was quoting.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I believe now he was on a show. I saw
a guy on his show. So Halpern does the show
every afternoon, and then he usually has different kind of
regular Republican strategist, democratic status people have worked in campaigns,
right stuff, blah blah blah. Anyway, the Democrat that was
on there the other day said, you know, I got
to tell you, and I can't explain it myself. I
(21:02):
didn't see it. I didn't see Joe Biden's decline. I
wanted so much for it to be true that Joe
Biden was capable of running again. I deluded myself. He said,
that's the only thing I can the only way I
can explain it in retrospect is that I just wanted
an outcome to be true so much that I deluded myself,
which is a horrifying notion because how often do we
(21:25):
all do that in what other areas of life? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, we've talked about this before and it's a great topic.
My concern is that those most capable of deluding themselves
are the least capable of knowing that they're deluding themselves,
or ever figuring that out, or ever admitting it. Judy
and I were leaving our community. It's a long road
to get out of our community, and there's no passing
(21:49):
on it, and we were behind one of those jackasses
that's going really, really slowly, and we made the comment
to each other, as.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
We had before, the person who most.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Needs to look in their rear view mirror is the
least likely to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I wonder though, if it's possibly a strength for some people.
It's like goal setting. It's people that just despite what
what would make most of us think, well, this will
never work, I can't do this, or we can't come
back from this deficit or whatever it is, they're so
capable of the the result they want, blinding them to
(22:28):
everything else. They're able to push forward and accomplish things right.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Maybe, well, you're getting onto some of the great tragedies
ever written, where a person's strength becomes they're undoing, or
vice versa. Yeah, but the JT note that I really
want to get to is about that person who admitted
that they diluted themselves. He says, it might surprise some,
but it doesn't surprise me in the least. Why Because
the Left has succeeded in turning a political party into
(22:53):
a cult. Their party members are not rewarded for thinking
critically or independently, or even accurately. Their party members are
rewarded and expected to tow the party line as part
of their Article five style of blindly supporting all the
disparate special interest groups that make up the Democratic Party. Unions, environmentalists,
open border, one world types, transit the kids groups, men
(23:16):
can be women groups, communists, socialists, anti white, racists, anti
male bigots, anti Semites, Islamists, Marxists, anti capitalists, anti free markets,
eat the rich nutters who equate wealth with evil. When
you are told to believe lies, good people on both sides,
and you're told to repeat lies, Russia's behind the hacking,
blah blah blah, and you're told that the murder of
(23:38):
a healthcare CEO is justified, Well, of course your mind
is going to go a little crazy. Is it any
wonder that amidst all of that brainwashing, a person can
deceive themselves into Biden's obvious about Biden's obvious dementia. Yeah, yeah,
Well we've talked about that before, to the psychological phenomenon
(23:59):
of peopleeople who view information not through a truth filter
but an acceptability filter. And if saying this is acceptable
to my group, I don't even ask if it's true,
I just repeat it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
A lot of people are like that. Yeah. I was
thinking about this this morning when I got up in
every news thing I flipped to as election results, and
I thought, God, this whole obsession with elections and the
politics is just so tiring, and it didn't used to
be this way, and it's our number one TV show
now and everything like that, And I wonder how much
(24:35):
that has to do with it. Where if it's not
your whole life, the outcome of a various elections, like
you think, well, life is going to be miserable now
for the next four years or great now for the
next four years because of this person I've never looked
at life that way. I don't break my life into
chunks of administrations. It seems kind of weird, but seems
like a lot of people do. If you don't do that,
(24:57):
maybe it's easier to not be blow because you don't.
Your happiness is not so married to a result.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Right, yeah, yeah, and your identity isn't married to that result.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Either.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I don't feel horrified or betrayed from my side loses.
I get used to it.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I I would consider myself I didn't vote. Actually, I
have this weird belief that if I voted makes it
harder for me to be fair talking about stuff. Some
people in the punditry world believe that, in some don't.
But either way, if I had voted, I would have
voted for Trump three times. All three times. He could
fly so far off the rails. I mean, I can
(25:40):
become just such a disaster, start World War three, or
turn out to have been the biggest crook in our
nation's sistory or whatever, and it like it wouldn't hurt
me personally. I mean, I'm not invested like that in
the whole thing. I just think, yeah, probably should have
seen that coming, doesn't seem that surprising or whatever seemed
like the best choice at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, exactly, know, exactly, but my entire identity is now crossed.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well really hardly any of my identity just got to
choose one or the other for a direction you want
to go. All right, this is a tangent, but I
liked it from JT.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Call me an optimist, but I can picture a future
in which all public figures are asked or required to
run their statements through an AI that can fact check
their statements, possibly in real time. Imagine a political system
in which most or all of the political eyes and
misstatements are caught in real time. No more Biden saying
Jim Crow on steroids, no more claiming Bush stole the
two thousand election, no more good people on both sides. Well,
(26:34):
and of course it would cut both ways too, but
the AI system, of course, would have to be unbiased.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
And good luck with that. Uh. Ukraine hit Saint Petersburg
pretty hard last night. I don't know if he saw
that in the news, right before Putin was supposed to
do some sort of conference there. They don't know if
those were linked or not, but oh, I'll bet they
were getting more interesting to watch, no doubt. Oh yeah,
(27:03):
that's right. I was going to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
There are experts on warfare say Russia cannot win now,
they cannot come close to accomplishing their goals. And it's
not just a question of look at them, they're not
doing very well. No, it's just structurally, in terms of manpower,
the equipment on both sides, zero chance.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Man It would be nice, so what does putin do?
It'd be nice if the free world thought now is
our time to push them out and end this thing.
But that's not what the free worlds doing. Ain't here
a word out of Europe, really useless? Useless Europe just
came acround this, across this staff run this stat. God,
there were no words in that sentence that are part
(27:42):
of the English language. Just came across this stat Russia's
per capita yearly GDP is about eighteen thousand dollars eighteen
thousand dollars per person in Russia, compared to almost one
hundred thousand in the United States. In Mississippi, it's fifty
five five thousand. Russia is that poor a country? They
(28:05):
are a third world country with a first world nuclear arsenal.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, they used to say first world military, but I
don't think that's true anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Probably not. We will finish incompetent. We'll finish strong next strong.
About thirty people in my backyard last night. I haven't
had thirty people cumulative. I am muted. I don't know
who isn't Hans and mute you there is. I haven't
(28:39):
had thirty people cumulative at my house, on my property
spread out over a quarter of a century, at mytal
at total. Yes, and that's why I'd like to keep it.
But I had a boy Scout event there last night.
They were doing their swimming test, all kinds of different
(29:01):
things you had to do, to eat your swimming badge,
to do various things for camp this summer. And they
were doing it in our pool and it was very cool.
My son was very very active in getting the yard
writing the pool ready, and very proud of getting to
use his house to help the Scouts and stuff. It
was very charming, very nice. I hit in the house
mostly not talking to people because I'm a misanthrope. I
(29:22):
got this text from a friend of mine yesterday. He said,
I just left the Book of Mormon. That's the famous
musical mocking the religion of Mormons. I hadn't seen it before.
It was mad to me. They put an Epstein Trump
joke in there, and the audience fell apart with laughter
like trained seals. It wasn't even a joke with the punchline.
(29:45):
I think the line was basically, I'm Jeffrey Epstein and
I did things with Trump, and everybody laughed just because
it was They mentioned Epstein and Trump. Wow, still waiting
for their Book of Islam musical, and I was thinking
about that. We've made this remark many times before. This
is not new information, But I think I really like
Trey Parker and who's the other guy from matt Stone?
(30:08):
Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park. I like them.
I think they're clever, they're funny, and they have done
some very very brave things in their careers that you
wouldn't do if all you cared about was making money.
But it is pretty chicken ass to go out there
and make a musical making fun of a minor religion
(30:29):
that really has no effect on anybody's life unless you're
in that religion. When the real religion that is like
running world history in terms of difficulties, you couldn't do
that with or they would kill you and your family.
That's a pretty chicken ass move. Well, okay, you disagree? No, yeah, yeah,
(30:54):
they had a funny idea. They wrote a musical period.
They didn't sit around thinking about the major world religion
and which one deserved a kicking and blah blah blah.
You're thinking about it backwards.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I think the fact that you couldn't conceivably do that
about Islam.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Is that's the discussion that needs to be had. Man.
I feel like, if that's true what you just said, obviously,
but man, if you're going to go out and kick
some religious people, wow, when'd you rather kick somebody that's
got it coming? And not all Muslims obviously, but the
crazies that are disrupting the world so much. This as
(31:32):
a theme, sure, yeah, or the fact that more people
haven't come in. It's so easy to sit and laugh
at this tiny group of people that have no effect
on anything. And because they're mostly very nice focus, Yeah,
because they're really nice people who statistically and this is
(31:53):
just true, I know it's true, are more likely to
have jobs and support themselves and all kinds of different things. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, similar theme and I was hoping to get to
it today maybe tomorrow, talk about a case that's getting
a tremendous amount of attention in the online world, but
the media, the American media, is very, very uncomfortable with it,
so I haven't been talking about it. And that's the
death of Henry Noak in Great Britain who is stabbed
(32:21):
to death by some immigrant fellas and was allowed to
bleed out. He was handcuffed because the cops said, no,
you haven't been stabbed. Be quiet, because the murderers had
called the cops and said, yeah, this guy attacked.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Us when he hadn't.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And that the two tiered justice system in Britain that
they have now where they are so terrified of primarily
Muslim uprisings or hostility or Islam being Islam manifesting what
Islam wants to be in Britain, and they think they
can we love you, we love you, you can do any thing,
(33:01):
We're with you. They think they can take that posture
and it will solve itself.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
When they're dead wrong about it.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That's a reckoning the West is going to well, it's
having already and will continue to have.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That's the main issue to me. We haven't talked that
well until now about that particular case. It's all over Twitter.
Elon's really big on it, so he pushes it out
a lot. It's a very troubling story.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Constantine Kisson, who's absolutely brilliant and even handed, has been.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Up in arms about it.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
He's been pointing out that in Great Britain, part of
the leaders of the country took a knee for George Floyd,
and there are all sorts of speeches and this, that
and the other about George Floyd in Britain, but a
young brit is allowed to die in police hands through
negligence and lack of caring and probably.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
A racial slash ethnic angle that the Floyd thing didn't have.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
There's no evidence that there's anything racial about what happened
to George Floyd, but it's all being ignored because it's inconvenient.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
More on that tomorrow. Oh boy, no, wooh, that is troubling.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Gutty. Let's get
a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Let's start with our technical director, Mike Lanslow.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Michael, Yeah, Jack, I'm den a little concerned about you.
Many of your stories now are. I was arguing with
my chatbot, You're doing this more and more and I
just just relax. You can always unplug it. Well, I'm
really trying to push back on the it taking over
the world, but I see your point. Good luck with that, yeah, Jack,
final thought for us uh, I thought I had a
(34:55):
final thought, but it flitted out of my head because
of my sinility.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I will throw mine in while you're thinking about that.
My final thought is entirely self serving. We're about to
chat at length with the fabulous Noah Rothman about his
new book about left wing violence.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
It will be available via.

Podcast just to you know, subscribe to Armstrong in Giddy
on demand and you'll automatically get everything downloaded. Noah is
absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, my final thought was gonna mention just California's inability
to count votes in a way that everybody else county
states and countries around the world seem to be able
to do is just amazing. Armstrong in Geddy wrapping up
another grueling four hour work.

you tomorrow. God bless America. I'm strong and get Taking.
They're way better at words. Oh my word, word, let
me say. Let me say one thing. You do what
you know how to do, because when you do what
(36:12):
you do, what the hell are you talking about? You
gotta be kidding me? Say one way? Are you sure
of that? Dude? The end of this trange of hearings?
What's that word? On that high note? Thanks you all
very much, Armstrong and Getty
