Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Pecca and Key Arms. Somebody left a little remote control
(00:35):
on my desk here, and I can't imagine what this runs.
Maybe I'll just start pressing buttons. See that's mine? Oh
what is it? Run? Michael TV? In there? Okay, live
a from the studio. See hey, dimly lit room, where
deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and Giddy Communications compounds?
(00:56):
And already Thursday, Wow, and today we're under the tutelage
of our generalger Ice Ice. Baby. Oh that reminds me.
I saw Vanilla Ice driving down Duvall Street and Key
West in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Stop it. It
had to be him. I mean it looked exactly like him,
and he made two passes slow. So my son and
(01:16):
I got a good look at him, and we're like,
that's Vanilla Ice, the great Robbie van Winkle. Yeah, it's amazing.
I said, why I remember that? And can I get
that out of my head? Stop collaborate and listen, I
yelled out, But he didn't respond in anyway. I was
hoping to get a response. Too bad. But why is
Ice our general manager today? Well, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
(01:37):
in their efforts to round up illegals and criminals and
criminal illegals is running into more and more opposition, violence, controversy.
This story is doing nothing but getting bigger. Why do
you know the real name of Vanilla Ice is a
good I can't imagine, cannot effing that's funny because I
came up with my son, I said, what's his real name?
I said, my partner, Joe always calls these people by third,
(01:59):
that's right. And he said, I don't know Combs recently
acquitted in a Manhattan court room. But uh, I said,
you know who else knows? Is your uncle Joe? Your
uncle Joe if he was here right now, he'd be
calling him by Also what you say for the olysis
really Robert van Winkle, Roberts nice Lamborghini, Robert. Okay, So
(02:20):
we got that story. That's a good one. I also
want to get into at some point the what is
putin up to? What's his theory? When Trump has clearly
turned corner on this whole story and he's upping his attacks,
what read the mind? Of Vladimir Putin, what does he
think is gonna happen here? Yeah, well, that's a great question.
(02:43):
I suspect he's in a wait and see posture. He's
not quite sure what will happen given Trump's volatility, and
he wants to find out now he has We've discussed
for years and years. Putin thrusts and thrusts with his sword,
trying to find weakness and softness, and that's what he's
doing right now with Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well, hey, Ian Bremer had a tweet last night he said,
I think I think Putin's misreading the situation. I think
he might be two If you been following Trump over
the years. Iran Sulimani a couple other situations. When Trump
makes the turn, he makes the turn, and he does
things whether the you know, the world likes it or not. Yeah,
(03:22):
and Ian might be one hundred percent right. But Putin
is kind of the anti Biden. He will go with
a maximalist policy. He will push hard and push and
push until he provokes a response. Then he studies the response,
as opposed to Biden, for instance, who would never do
anything practically and would just beg people not to do anything.
(03:43):
So yeah. Yeah. And the danger of that, of course,
is that you push too far, too fast, and you
have a maniac on the other side who responds in kind.
Jo calls Trump maniac. Headlines quote, there's quotes, There are quotes,
so I think it wouldn't be a maniac response and
be the logical response to stop the the actual maniac putin.
I also think there's a coordination there. I doubt it's
(04:05):
an accident that you know, they'll launch a three hundred
drone strike and get the headline biggest strike since war began,
then launch a three hundred and fifty drone strike two
days later and get the headline biggest strike since war began.
That can't be an accident. That they're ratcheting up little
by little so they always get that headline, like two
nights ago, seven hundred drones, biggest strike since war began.
(04:29):
That's got to be on purpose. He wants the headline
around the world. I think he thinks it's going to
make the world think, Wow, this guy's serious. We better
back off or something. Yeah. Alternate theory. I was just
reading how the Russians drone building capabilities are increasing in
an impressive way on an impressive scale, and I wonder
(04:49):
if they're just their capabilities are increasing like that. So yeah,
they keep setting records because they can, but I don't know,
could be. McCrone was in London last couple of days,
meeting with the Prime Minister there and they made some
announcements together that are pretty pretty strong, world changing, possibly
sort of statements out of there. So we'll get to
(05:11):
that a little bit later. One interesting nugget on that
before we get to the opening clip is they're they're
in I guess it's in uh what do they meet,
Buckingham Palace, wherever they meet Parliament? I guess in Parliament.
I'm a big London I the ferris wheel go round
and round. I enjoy the view. Wherever they met, there
are two great, big paintings, one of them of when
(05:35):
Napoleon's defeated Waterloo at the hands of the Brits and
then a different major British beat in the French like
three hundred years ago painting. And I guess in the
past they've covered those paintings up when the leader of
France would come it's like, you know, don't rub their
face in it. But in this time they didn't and
(05:57):
I don't know. I don't know if that's a big
deal or not. I don't know if they'll harbor would
you would you still be upset about Napoleon's the feet?
If you're Macrone, I just find that hard to believe.
You know, if I steal my buddy's wife, I'm probably
not gonna have her greet him at the door every
time he comes. Well, how about you know what I mean,
how about two hundred and fifty years later, let's let
buy guns. I would think you should have fought better friendship.
(06:19):
All right, let's get down to business. Anyway, let's get
to start the show. Officially. We got a good one today.
I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this it is Thursday,
July tenth, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and
getting We approve of this program. Here we go officially
according to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.
You guys need to get off the door. You're not
scaring anybody. Come on, man, I told you go God
(06:47):
he leave alone.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Come on, man, hey, I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Not get them out of here. What conflicts violence and
at work? Kind of opening clip? Was that? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The world's greatest golf fight of all time.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Golf course. Yeah, let me take over here. So golf
course fights a great online genre for videos of things
at work. Here a couple of factors. Let's let me
get out the telestrainer. You got a lot of males,
You got a lot of men out there. Okay, I'm guessing.
There we go. I'm circling the men feeling. There's one
more element that's common. There is frequently alcohol on the
(07:32):
golf course. People drink beer. Here's a picture of a beer.
Let me circle the beer, draw a line to the men.
The men consumed the beer, and then somebody hits golf
ball which could really hurt somebody or even consumably kill them.
Sure into another group and or are just playing very
slowly and get ribbed over and over again. Testosterol plus
(07:54):
alcohol plus golf course equals fisticuffs. But I haven't seen
the video, Katie, that we go. I'm sorry, we go
live to our golf fight correspondent, Katie Green.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you, Joe Eddy.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yes, you can see the fight video at Katie's corner
at Armstrong Eddy dot com. These two guys, it was
the situation you just mentioned playing too slow. The group
of guys behind them are the ones that you're you're hearing.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Get off the course. They're yelling at them.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, is that to get your face beat in a fence?
Playing too slow? Uh no, but you could be urged
to speed it up. The golf course management ought to
step in. The marshals how to come out and deal
with that. But anyway, so no they obviously no, you
don't run up to them and punch him in the face.
Things escalate, yes, words are exchanged.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
This video started clearly well into this conflict, but the
two guys that are playing.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Too slow are also clearly way too drunk to be
out there, and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
The smaller of the two decides to charge at the
really big, angry guy who's telling them to.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Move it along, who happens to be.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
NFL star or NHL star. Excuse me, Nick TARNASKI.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Don't fight hockey players. Oh. My brother used to manage
a bar in Wichitah where the minor league hockey team
would come afterwards, and regularly people would get in fights
with hockey players, not realizing they were fighting hockey players
who fight for a living. That's how you get paid
to do. His fight you don't want to fight people
who get paid to fight. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Back to you, Kiddy, to give this hockey player Tarnasky
some credit, he did everything in his power to avoid
punching this game for him, including throwing both of the
guys one at a time into the pond right next
to where they were parked.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, unfortunately it was South Florida and both men have
been consumed by alligators. Okay, so you spawn first. Yeah,
here's a man of peace.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Nick, the smaller of the two is the one that
got hurled into the lake first, and he comes crawling
out on all fours like a swamp creature and recharges Tarnaski.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And that's when you start hearing.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
The bam bam as he's holding onto his collar and
just game akering him in the face.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jack reminiscence of the incident where one Charles Barkley threw
a dwarf through window years ago. Back to you, Katie, right, Oh,
I like the sound of that. I don't like the
sound wow, the bang bang bang. You don't need to
supply your own sound effect. Now, the sound of the batman,
of the sound of the face on the fist on
face is not an enjoying that.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
And the other very enjoyable part of this is the
second guy, who was of the two that were playing
too slow that started this whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
He's hammered and stumbling over himself, going come on, man,
come on, don't hit.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Him man, and the other guy's telling him to shut
the f up, and it's just, oh wow, it's two
and a half minutes of chaos that you'll thoroughly enjoy
if you got armstrong getting on.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Coming, know when to say when let's talk before we
throw a pot, and don't fight NHL players.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
No, they tried to shake his hand after He's like.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I want to shake your hand.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh wow, guys throwing back in the lake. Yes, I
don't understand the enjoys fighting thing. I don't. I don't
get it, but enjoy getting your face beating thing. But
if that's you know what turns you on, I guess
as long as you can find someone else who also
enjoys it and as a willing participant to then have
(11:27):
your fun. Right, Yeah, it's none of my problem. I
guess I'm partially reacting to a video I saw the
other day. I don't know how this ended up in
my feed. Why I got this. Oh, don't bring us down.
We're all cheery. You're right, I will not bring us down. Michael,
I saw it coming, did you you too? Yeah, I
can tell by the look in the face. Yeah, you're right.
Debbie Downer is about to ruin the party. Who Yeah
(11:48):
about feline leukemia. Wah Wahbie, I wish we had a
lake in the studio. Let's throw you in. That's the
famous Debbie Downer click where Jimmy Folon laughed so hard
he can't finish his lines feline leukemia. If you've ever
seen that, it's very funny. We got Katie's headlines on
(12:10):
the way, and we'll get into a bunch of the
news of the day. Our text line is four one
five two nine five KFTC. We're coming up on the
one year anniversary of one of the craziest several days
in US history, the one year anniversary of Trump almost
(12:30):
being assassinated and then immediately into the Republican Convention and
Biden and the debate and you know everything that followed.
But six Secret Service personnel were suspended yesterday around that
and I got some inside information about that. That's really
(12:51):
damned interesting. I didn't know there was anything new to
learn about that, But we'll get to that coming up.
What could they have learned or acted upon so recently
that they shouldn't have known within seventy two hours. It's
not like twelve hours. That's the question in my mind. Right.
We will answer it, I hope. First though, let's figure
(13:14):
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie
Green Katie Take it Away, starting.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
With NBC News.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Texas flood's death toll rises to one hundred and twenty
as rescue operations.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Shift to recovery phase. Do you have much time for
the trying to turn this into a political issue. I
just do not. I've not spent much effort on that. No,
I've been aware of it. It's disgusting, it's obvious. It's
there's on the Democrats side, they're stretching it as far
as they possibly can to blame Greg Abbott and Ted
(13:44):
Cruz and climate change and whatever. Right. I saw a
good list yesterday. It was just from National Review that
a number of over the last couple of decades, natural
disasters that happened when a Republican president that becomes a
giant political issue, and what the Republican president did wrong
versus natural disasters that happened when a Democrats president, and
(14:05):
it's just chalked up to nature, right, or it's still
Republican's fault because of climate change for instance, rights or
something like that. Yes, either way, it's Republican's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
ABC News Russia kills two in Kiev in quote obvious
escalation of terror according to his Zelenski exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
That was my point is it's an obvious escalation. It's
like I'm going further. I'm going to go even further
in spite of what Trump is saying. So what is
the plan there from Putin? That's a fascinating story.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
CNN.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Biden's physician refuses to answer questions from Republicans and House
probe of former president's mental fitness.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, not surprising. He was never going to say anything
between HIPPA and the Fifth Amendment. It's just this is silly.
It's yes, he was completely senile, and everybody from the
family to the cabin to the closest advisors hid it
from the American people and lied constantly with the complicity
of the press. Guilty. And this is the third or
(15:09):
fourth time this has happened in the last one hundred years,
so it's not exactly brand new as a strategy. And
understand me, I'm not saying it's not a huge deal
in scandalous and terrible, but we all know with one
hundred percent certainty, and we know who was involved, including
this doctor's die job is highly suspicious. Just ready to
(15:32):
go for exercises. Hair. Oh, it's terrible. It has like
the haircut of an eight year old boy in nineteen
sixty four. I mean, it's just a terrible look. But no,
nothing is going to come up. That's an interesting critique.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
From the Washington Post.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Trump announces fifty percent tariff on Brazil, citing the trial.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Of President Yeah, that's not my favorite Trump story from.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
The New York Jealous ex wife allegedly spied on former
husband and new family inside of home for over seven
hundred hours by tapping into ring cameras.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Wow, oh wow, funny. I was just closing the tab
we were talking about yesterday about how all of your
smart devices are constantly reporting on you constantly, But I
hadn't thought of that. I would like to hear more
about the whole smart device spying on me thing. I
had a friend who was really big on putting tape
over their cameras and uh and or short circuiting the
(16:36):
audio speaker and stuff like that. And I thought that
was paranoid, but maybe not.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
And finally, from the Babylon b after tsa shoe policy change,
production finally resumes at Crazy Mohammed's shoebomb factory.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, that's that's etchy. Alright, I appreciate it. Yeah,
As Joe made the point the other day, if the
guy had tried twenty five years ago to blow up
a plane with earbuds that were bombs, you wouldn't be
allowed to take earbuds on a plane, and everybody would
be listening to their audio through their speaker out loud
and carrying on their conversation, walking through security with shoes
(17:14):
on all this time. So it's just, you know, it's
kind of an odd reaction the way we do things.
There's plenty of news to get to and we'll do
that coming up if you miss it. Gets the podcast
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
A new declaration in Mexico gives nineteen cats roaming the
Presidential Palace food and care forever. That's cute in gratitude,
the cats will act like they want you to rub
their belly. Then if you do, claw the Bejesus out
of your arm.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
True, I do not understand you people who feed feral cats. Ah,
we got a couple in my neighborhood. Luckily it's a
couple of blocks from my house, but my son actually
got attacked. As overstating it, but the cat ran at him,
jumped on him and scratched up his legs. So that
(18:04):
is an attack. It's an attack. But I don't want
to make it sound like he was attacked by a
lion or something. But it was a cat and he
got scratched up, and nobody wants that to happen. It
did easy feral cats. And every night, it seems like
around sundown when everybody's out walking their dogs in the
neighborhoods full of people like that, there's always different people
gathered around this one tree putting food out for these cats,
(18:29):
and they just are amazed by the existence of these
feral cats and feeding them and nourishing their lives. They're wild,
dangerous cats. And well, okay, yeah, that that's another element.
But there's I could how about I should pick you
up in my car. I'll pick you up in my
cyber truck. Drive you to the local shelter where there
(18:51):
are like a thousand really nice house cats that are
going to be put to sleep that you could take
in if you want that. Aren't going to attack anyone,
You feral cat people, What is your deal? I know
there's a similar phenomenon in my neighborhood. There are a
group of gals. There may have been a dude involved,
but I think it was all gals who actually built
(19:12):
built a clandestine shelter for the feral cats, like a
house for them, and when it was discovered, it was like,
you can't do that. But they're utterly dedicated to feeding
and medicating they. I think they have a spade neutered,
which is good. Well, that's great, but I don't get
(19:32):
it at all. Yeah. I mean, if you have a
like a big rat problem or something, all right, we
can talk. But yeah, I don't. I don't get you.
Let me tell you this, the faral cat invites me.
If I can't, I'm gonna kick the living crap out
of that thing. Well, you murdered a rooster for attacking
your son. I don't need to be gets off scott Free.
I need to be attacked by wildcats. No, no, I
(19:56):
think that would have been dealt with harshly in my
Anny who I got us off track? Yes you did. So.
We mentioned briefly the inevitable, idiotic, immoral politicization of the
Texas floods. America does have a problem with emergency warning systems,
(20:18):
as the people of Pacific Palisades. I actually have a
bunch of different examples of that, and I do want
to get to that. We seem unable as a country
to come up with a way to have emergency warnings
that work well. I was talking to a radio insider
who said everything in the emergency broadcast system worked the
(20:40):
way it is designed to work around this particular story.
It's just some of the stuff that we talked about
the other day. People go to these camps specifically to
get away from their smartphones. So everybody puts their smartphones
away and or both. You're somewhere where you don't get
smart phone signal, and you know, we've all come to
(21:03):
rely on our smartphones for any information. So if people
are going to put those away, what's your alert system
going to be? I didn't talk about I grew up
in the middle of nowhere where you had town siren
for all kinds of different things, and that's been done
away with a lot of places because of the smartphone
alert system. You'd feel like, well, you don't need the
town siren anymore. But the town siren's pretty good if
(21:25):
you don't have your phone. And if you're in a
very rural area like Kirk County, Texas, the river country
there but is pretty heavily populated in the summertime with campers,
what sort of systems you need there? And one had
been green lighted to be studied or something, but they
hadn't gotten around to building it yet. But Wall Street
(21:48):
Journal was talking about how time after time, like fire
evacuation warnings in the Alta d in the neighborhood of
La arrived too late. Across the Pacific, Maui's outdoor sirens
never sounded two years ago, remember that when those horrific,
deadly wildfires approached the edge that's Hawaiian Island. And they
(22:08):
give a couple more examples too. But between the over
lapping patchwork of technologies that Jack was just discussing, and
let's not leave out radio AM, radio especially which is
still a major part of the emergency broadcast system and
worked pretty well. But obviously you've got to have your
radio on. So anyway, it's a real change. Seconding you
(22:31):
telling me a bunch of children campers didn't have AM
radios with them at camp? What fun is camp without
listening to AM radio? Please? Can we listen to talk radio?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We've got a go canoeing?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
What do armstrong?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You get? You think of the tariffs right right? Poor
little kids denying them that pleasure. So anyway, what we
do about this, if we do anything about it, and
we probably won't, is anybody's guess. But I am tempted
to advocate something exceedingly simple and technology free like the
(23:07):
town siren. Now how that applies in a rural area
like this. There are ways to adapt it, I would think.
But if you have catastrophic flood issues in a particular
area and everybody knows it, you have one tower that
has a siren, and the emergency management to people in
(23:28):
that county have the responsibility to set it off every mile.
Cases they don't, every so many miles you do because
you can hear these sirens. Having grown up with this,
you can hear them for a very long way away.
We lived several miles outside of town, and we heard
the noon whistle every day. Yeah. Another related story on
the I was taking shots at left wing wackadoodles only
(23:50):
moments ago on the quote unquote, I guess right wing
conspiracy theory side of things. They are running hot and heavy,
and this poor son of a gun he runs. His
name is Augustus Dorico. He's a young entrepreneur, a scientist.
He's started a cloud seating company, rain Maker, that had
(24:15):
actually been operating in Texas, not terribly far from you
know where the terrible flooding occurred. Uh And and because
of this, the Internet has decided that he caused the
catastrophic flooding and is responsible for the murder of all
those children. Oh my god. Of course, as he pointed out,
the most the most successful experiment in the history of
(24:38):
our country, our company rather yielded a like an infinitesimal
uh fraction the rainfall that came right. I was gonna say,
much Ley, we couldn't do that if we wanted. My
knowledge of cloud seating is that it's not that effective.
So yeah, he's not the blame uh one. Prominent conspiracy
(25:02):
influencer on X in a post that received two point
six million views. I'm gonna try to figure out who
it was. Meet Augustus Dorico, twenty five year old tech
pro and thel fellow who founded the weather modification startup
brain Maker. Why is a billionaire funding private weather experiments
in Texas? Texas got biblical flooding, fake weather, fake hurricanes,
(25:24):
fake flooding, fake fake fake, wrote Republican congressional candidate Candice
Taylor on X. And this guy's getting death threats round
the clock. I don't like the term weather modification. I
don't think we need to be doing that. Yeah, yeah,
so the Internet goes wild. And one more story. We
(25:44):
don't have time for this, but I thought it was
really interesting. Chris Martz wrote a piece for The Free Beacon.
He is, he's got a degree in meteorological science, and
he just by following the evidence, became very skeptical of
the conventional claims about climate change and man causing it
(26:08):
and what could be done about and that sort of stuff,
a topic we've talked about many, many times. And he
was shocked. And most of this piece is about how
he has been targeted and ridiculed and docked, and people
have tried to ruin his career and the rest of
it merely for asking difficult questions about data. And it's
(26:31):
now happened a couple of times, I think with enough
clarity that all of us are starting to wake up
to it. The COVID thing was a perfect example. The
very nature of science is questioning what was believed before
and experimenting and looking at data and uncovering new truths. Wrong.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The sun revolves around the Earth and we're sticking with that.
Anybody who says any different should be hung upside down, right,
And one of the highest goals of some science is
to figure out that what we used to believe is wrong.
That's what science is. But here are a couple of
examples where any questioning of the conventional wisdom is treated
(27:13):
like heresy. And I use that term advisor, right. Yeah,
it is challenging the very god we worship. And you
will be banned, you'll be except communicated, you will be
burnt at this steak. And they haven't actually set this
guy on fire yet. But career wise, it's been a
hell of a battle that quasi religious like poisoning of
(27:39):
science and what it is. We've seen that a couple
of times now. And whenever you see that man get
you get your your spider sense up, or your fur
on the back of your neck, or getting a fighting
posture or I don't know, load your weapons. Uh load.
That is an unholy perversion of science. And no, I
don't work for an oil company. I don't care what
(28:00):
the truth is. I just want to know what the
truth is. I represent science and that's the last effing
thing you represent. You wuhan virus modifying murderer. Wow? Wow,
I stand by those words. There's a new Superman movie
out that's getting a lot of attention. Maybe tell you
(28:20):
about that coming up if you're that oh oh oh,
have you heard about what the woke director said? No?
I have not. Oh you got to do this? Why
do you got to do this? Why can't I God,
why can't my kid just go to Superman without knowing
what the wolke director said about? And hell, if you
want to turn your son into communists, send them to
the communist Superman movie. Go ahead, Okay, we got mail
(28:45):
Pak coming up. Stay here. Speaking of Russian bullspit uh
Marco Rubio's meeting with Lavrov, the spokesman for Putin, who
is the all time bs or in world history practically,
and Marco Ruby, who ain't the kind of guy that
(29:06):
puts up with that much. I don't know what his
marching orders are from Trump, but no, he knows exactly
who Lavrov because he's the foreign minister and has been
for twenty five thirty years something like that. I mean,
he is completely full of crap, that guy. Oh my goodness. Yeah,
it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that. Indeed, Yeah,
something guaranteed significant will come out of that. Here's your
(29:29):
freedom loving quote of today from Thomas Sowell, continuing the
series The Great Man, the Great Thinker, celebrating his ninety
fifth birthday. Oh, we're on vacation, and a funny coincidence.
The next and the list of quotes I had compiled
is some things must be done on faith, but the
most dangerous kind of faith is that which masquerades as science.
(29:50):
In quotes exactly what we were just talking about. Wow.
Then the next quote in the list, yet more on it. No,
it's just really interesting. Ye, it's funny coincidence. And his
next quote is it takes considerable knowledge just to realize
the extent of your own ignorance, and it's funny another coincidence.
I've said more than once that I've realized I have
(30:14):
the most depressing level of intelligence. I'm just bright enough
to understand how dumb I am. I mean, For instance,
we got an email from a listener. We're gonna get
the mailbag in a second. We got an email from
a listener with a set of arguments on a really
intriguing topic. And I understood them. I understood how astute
(30:35):
they were and clever they were, and I also understood
that I never could have come up with them. So
I sit here depressed. Not a hell with it. You
play the cards. You're tell best today.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Whoa, whoa?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I guess we'll do a mail bag now. Would drop
us a note mail bag at Armstrong and get it
dot com. We'll get to those brilliant arguments down the
road later. On the topic of Mamdani and a Marxist dad,
the president of the mayoral candidate in New York City
is getting so much attention. If you don't think it's
a big deal that a communist is about to become
(31:11):
the mayor of the most important city on Earth, you
are even dopier than I am. In nineteen seventy two,
Edia Mean expelled all Indians and South Asians from Uganda.
They've been there for generations, originally building railroads for the Brits.
They prospered, bird became a class of merchants, farmers, and
civil employees. Amn's a mean stole all their property and
(31:34):
blamed them for being racists. The Indians migrated all over
the world, and Mamdani's dad came to the US and
became a Marxist professor. His story is to blame everything
on colonialism to justify marx not dictators, not racial and
religious bigotry. He's a Muslim, not a big fan of
the Jews, so that wouldn't work. The biggest tyrant is
(31:54):
that his son's politics use some of Ediaman's policies and rationales,
like blaming one race over another for lack of success,
taking private property for greater good, et cetera. Only an
intellectual could believe this stuff. I agree, well, said my
friend Adam writes, guys, you were talking about your data
(32:15):
stealing toasters and TVs and ring doorbells and the rest
of it. The giant CD enterprise of data collectors. It
aligns with what I've been saying about the burger clown.
Many restaurants now have rewards apps, but they're blatant. They
have price differences if you don't share your valuable guilty time,
pleasure time habits with them. Well, I've not downloaded the
(32:38):
McDonald's app because I feel like that would be crossing
a line for me, but dietarily not like data. Yeah,
I hadn't thought about it, but I'm sure it's one
of those apps that you're given over all kinds of
information by downloading the app, and they push it hard.
Every time you go pull up to the McDonald's drive through,
they say, well, are you ordering with the app today?
(32:59):
To let you know that have the app, that's the
first thing that they say to you. And if you
opt in, they take all of your data and give
you a little discount. Yeah, because you're probably selling your
data for much much more than the little discount. Yeah,
there's more money in the app than there is and
whatever meal you're about to order. Wow. Yeah, I wonder
what the profit margin is? I mean, because what's the
cost associated with developing the app spread over millions of customers?
(33:23):
Practically enough? Ada McDonald's with the kids night before last. Delicious.
Gotta tell you didn't taste like a burger, but Delicious
cost fifty dollars. All we got was cheeseburgers, a couple
of fries, and waters fifty bucks. Another Jay in San
Jose writes, train your AI dragon. Having gone through all
the upgrades over the last three decades of technology changes
(33:44):
in the workforce, we learned that crap in eagles crap
out right. If we've put bad data in a system,
we get bad results. Groc that was spouting is spouting
anti Semitism and up with Hitler stuff and the rest
of it. The other day, Let's see Groc is looking worldwide,
including outside of the US. Huge numbers of Muslims and others
don't like Jews, and that sentiment probably shows up when
(34:05):
Groc is trolling for all the data or not. That's
why that listener yesterday was telling you to train your dragon.
You can't just let him fly around eating everything. Well.
Groc is Elon's outfit here was originally with open ai,
but left them when they decided to be a for
profit business. Open Ai is about to release their AI
powered web browser that is supposed to challenge Google. So
(34:28):
Google is in a bad spot, all right, need to
get to these let's see. Jennifer points out the government
needs to delve into the abuse of social security numbers,
start tracking down illegals, using them fraudulently, and deport them. Yeah,
I want to get to that. Identity theft is a
huge scandal that's never talked about with illegal immigration. Then
I needed to get to this. I absolutely love it.
(34:50):
Marilyn is listening to the show I Believe in Beautiful
San Diego. That's correct, and her Jack report that Tony
Sirico of the Sopranos has just died, but died in
twenty twenty two, and she's wondering why the Fabulous Patriot
AM thirteen sixty is playing years old reruns of the
Armstrong and Getty Show. Marilyn, They're not playing rerun. We
(35:16):
just got I don't know, duped into thinking he just
died or had forgotten he died the second time in
a year. We've gotten a celebrity death wrong.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
We got to get better, be better, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Pecca and Key Arms. Somebody left a little remote control
(00:35):
on my desk here, and I can't imagine what this runs.
Maybe I'll just start pressing buttons. See that's mine? Oh
what is it? Run? Michael TV? In there? Okay, live
a from the studio. See hey, dimly lit room, where
deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong and Giddy Communications compounds?
(00:56):
And already Thursday, Wow, and today we're under the tutelage
of our generalger Ice Ice. Baby. Oh that reminds me.
I saw Vanilla Ice driving down Duvall Street and Key
West in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Stop it. It
had to be him. I mean it looked exactly like him,
and he made two passes slow. So my son and
(01:16):
I got a good look at him, and we're like,
that's Vanilla Ice, the great Robbie van Winkle. Yeah, it's amazing.
I said, why I remember that? And can I get
that out of my head? Stop collaborate and listen, I
yelled out, But he didn't respond in anyway. I was
hoping to get a response. Too bad. But why is
Ice our general manager today? Well, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
(01:37):
in their efforts to round up illegals and criminals and
criminal illegals is running into more and more opposition, violence, controversy.
This story is doing nothing but getting bigger. Why do
you know the real name of Vanilla Ice is a
good I can't imagine, cannot effing that's funny because I
came up with my son, I said, what's his real name?
I said, my partner, Joe always calls these people by third,
(01:59):
that's right. And he said, I don't know Combs recently
acquitted in a Manhattan court room. But uh, I said,
you know who else knows? Is your uncle Joe? Your
uncle Joe if he was here right now, he'd be
calling him by Also what you say for the olysis
really Robert van Winkle, Roberts nice Lamborghini, Robert. Okay, So
(02:20):
we got that story. That's a good one. I also
want to get into at some point the what is
putin up to? What's his theory? When Trump has clearly
turned corner on this whole story and he's upping his attacks,
what read the mind? Of Vladimir Putin, what does he
think is gonna happen here? Yeah, well, that's a great question.
(02:43):
I suspect he's in a wait and see posture. He's
not quite sure what will happen given Trump's volatility, and
he wants to find out now he has We've discussed
for years and years. Putin thrusts and thrusts with his sword,
trying to find weakness and softness, and that's what he's
doing right now with Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well, hey, Ian Bremer had a tweet last night he said,
I think I think Putin's misreading the situation. I think
he might be two If you been following Trump over
the years. Iran Sulimani a couple other situations. When Trump
makes the turn, he makes the turn, and he does
things whether the you know, the world likes it or not. Yeah,
(03:22):
and Ian might be one hundred percent right. But Putin
is kind of the anti Biden. He will go with
a maximalist policy. He will push hard and push and
push until he provokes a response. Then he studies the response,
as opposed to Biden, for instance, who would never do
anything practically and would just beg people not to do anything.
(03:43):
So yeah. Yeah. And the danger of that, of course,
is that you push too far, too fast, and you
have a maniac on the other side who responds in kind.
Jo calls Trump maniac. Headlines quote, there's quotes, There are quotes,
so I think it wouldn't be a maniac response and
be the logical response to stop the the actual maniac putin.
I also think there's a coordination there. I doubt it's
(04:05):
an accident that you know, they'll launch a three hundred
drone strike and get the headline biggest strike since war began,
then launch a three hundred and fifty drone strike two
days later and get the headline biggest strike since war began.
That can't be an accident. That they're ratcheting up little
by little so they always get that headline, like two
nights ago, seven hundred drones, biggest strike since war began.
(04:29):
That's got to be on purpose. He wants the headline
around the world. I think he thinks it's going to
make the world think, Wow, this guy's serious. We better
back off or something. Yeah. Alternate theory. I was just
reading how the Russians drone building capabilities are increasing in
an impressive way on an impressive scale, and I wonder
(04:49):
if they're just their capabilities are increasing like that. So yeah,
they keep setting records because they can, but I don't know,
could be. McCrone was in London last couple of days,
meeting with the Prime Minister there and they made some
announcements together that are pretty pretty strong, world changing, possibly
sort of statements out of there. So we'll get to
(05:11):
that a little bit later. One interesting nugget on that
before we get to the opening clip is they're they're
in I guess it's in uh what do they meet,
Buckingham Palace, wherever they meet Parliament? I guess in Parliament.
I'm a big London I the ferris wheel go round
and round. I enjoy the view. Wherever they met, there
are two great, big paintings, one of them of when
(05:35):
Napoleon's defeated Waterloo at the hands of the Brits and
then a different major British beat in the French like
three hundred years ago painting. And I guess in the
past they've covered those paintings up when the leader of
France would come it's like, you know, don't rub their
face in it. But in this time they didn't and
(05:57):
I don't know. I don't know if that's a big
deal or not. I don't know if they'll harbor would
you would you still be upset about Napoleon's the feet?
If you're Macrone, I just find that hard to believe.
You know, if I steal my buddy's wife, I'm probably
not gonna have her greet him at the door every
time he comes. Well, how about you know what I mean,
how about two hundred and fifty years later, let's let
buy guns. I would think you should have fought better friendship.
(06:19):
All right, let's get down to business. Anyway, let's get
to start the show. Officially. We got a good one today.
I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this it is Thursday,
July tenth, the year twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and
getting We approve of this program. Here we go officially
according to FCC rules and regulations, the show starts at mark.
You guys need to get off the door. You're not
scaring anybody. Come on, man, I told you go God
(06:47):
he leave alone.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Come on, man, hey, I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Not get them out of here. What conflicts violence and
at work? Kind of opening clip? Was that? What was that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
The world's greatest golf fight of all time.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Golf course. Yeah, let me take over here. So golf
course fights a great online genre for videos of things
at work. Here a couple of factors. Let's let me
get out the telestrainer. You got a lot of males,
You got a lot of men out there. Okay, I'm guessing.
There we go. I'm circling the men feeling. There's one
more element that's common. There is frequently alcohol on the
(07:32):
golf course. People drink beer. Here's a picture of a beer.
Let me circle the beer, draw a line to the men.
The men consumed the beer, and then somebody hits golf
ball which could really hurt somebody or even consumably kill them.
Sure into another group and or are just playing very
slowly and get ribbed over and over again. Testosterol plus
(07:54):
alcohol plus golf course equals fisticuffs. But I haven't seen
the video, Katie, that we go. I'm sorry, we go
live to our golf fight correspondent, Katie Green.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you, Joe Eddy.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yes, you can see the fight video at Katie's corner
at Armstrong Eddy dot com. These two guys, it was
the situation you just mentioned playing too slow. The group
of guys behind them are the ones that you're you're hearing.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Get off the course. They're yelling at them.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, is that to get your face beat in a fence?
Playing too slow? Uh no, but you could be urged
to speed it up. The golf course management ought to
step in. The marshals how to come out and deal
with that. But anyway, so no they obviously no, you
don't run up to them and punch him in the face.
Things escalate, yes, words are exchanged.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
This video started clearly well into this conflict, but the
two guys that are playing.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Too slow are also clearly way too drunk to be
out there, and.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
The smaller of the two decides to charge at the
really big, angry guy who's telling them to.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Move it along, who happens to be.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
NFL star or NHL star. Excuse me, Nick TARNASKI.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Don't fight hockey players. Oh. My brother used to manage
a bar in Wichitah where the minor league hockey team
would come afterwards, and regularly people would get in fights
with hockey players, not realizing they were fighting hockey players
who fight for a living. That's how you get paid
to do. His fight you don't want to fight people
who get paid to fight. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Back to you, Kiddy, to give this hockey player Tarnasky
some credit, he did everything in his power to avoid
punching this game for him, including throwing both of the
guys one at a time into the pond right next
to where they were parked.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yes, unfortunately it was South Florida and both men have
been consumed by alligators. Okay, so you spawn first. Yeah,
here's a man of peace.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Nick, the smaller of the two is the one that
got hurled into the lake first, and he comes crawling
out on all fours like a swamp creature and recharges Tarnaski.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And that's when you start hearing.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
The bam bam as he's holding onto his collar and
just game akering him in the face.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jack reminiscence of the incident where one Charles Barkley threw
a dwarf through window years ago. Back to you, Katie, right, Oh,
I like the sound of that. I don't like the
sound wow, the bang bang bang. You don't need to
supply your own sound effect. Now, the sound of the batman,
of the sound of the face on the fist on
face is not an enjoying that.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
And the other very enjoyable part of this is the
second guy, who was of the two that were playing
too slow that started this whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
He's hammered and stumbling over himself, going come on, man,
come on, don't hit.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Him man, and the other guy's telling him to shut
the f up, and it's just, oh wow, it's two
and a half minutes of chaos that you'll thoroughly enjoy
if you got armstrong getting on.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Coming, know when to say when let's talk before we
throw a pot, and don't fight NHL players.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
No, they tried to shake his hand after He's like.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I want to shake your hand.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh wow, guys throwing back in the lake. Yes, I
don't understand the enjoys fighting thing. I don't. I don't
get it, but enjoy getting your face beating thing. But
if that's you know what turns you on, I guess
as long as you can find someone else who also
enjoys it and as a willing participant to then have
(11:27):
your fun. Right, Yeah, it's none of my problem. I
guess I'm partially reacting to a video I saw the
other day. I don't know how this ended up in
my feed. Why I got this. Oh, don't bring us down.
We're all cheery. You're right, I will not bring us down. Michael,
I saw it coming, did you you too? Yeah, I
can tell by the look in the face. Yeah, you're right.
Debbie Downer is about to ruin the party. Who Yeah
(11:48):
about feline leukemia. Wah Wahbie, I wish we had a
lake in the studio. Let's throw you in. That's the
famous Debbie Downer click where Jimmy Folon laughed so hard
he can't finish his lines feline leukemia. If you've ever
seen that, it's very funny. We got Katie's headlines on
(12:10):
the way, and we'll get into a bunch of the
news of the day. Our text line is four one
five two nine five KFTC. We're coming up on the
one year anniversary of one of the craziest several days
in US history, the one year anniversary of Trump almost
(12:30):
being assassinated and then immediately into the Republican Convention and
Biden and the debate and you know everything that followed.
But six Secret Service personnel were suspended yesterday around that
and I got some inside information about that. That's really
(12:51):
damned interesting. I didn't know there was anything new to
learn about that, But we'll get to that coming up.
What could they have learned or acted upon so recently
that they shouldn't have known within seventy two hours. It's
not like twelve hours. That's the question in my mind. Right.
We will answer it, I hope. First though, let's figure
(13:14):
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie
Green Katie Take it Away, starting.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
With NBC News.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Texas flood's death toll rises to one hundred and twenty
as rescue operations.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Shift to recovery phase. Do you have much time for
the trying to turn this into a political issue. I
just do not. I've not spent much effort on that. No,
I've been aware of it. It's disgusting, it's obvious. It's
there's on the Democrats side, they're stretching it as far
as they possibly can to blame Greg Abbott and Ted
(13:44):
Cruz and climate change and whatever. Right. I saw a
good list yesterday. It was just from National Review that
a number of over the last couple of decades, natural
disasters that happened when a Republican president that becomes a
giant political issue, and what the Republican president did wrong
versus natural disasters that happened when a Democrats president, and
(14:05):
it's just chalked up to nature, right, or it's still
Republican's fault because of climate change for instance, rights or
something like that. Yes, either way, it's Republican's fault.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
ABC News Russia kills two in Kiev in quote obvious
escalation of terror according to his Zelenski exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
That was my point is it's an obvious escalation. It's
like I'm going further. I'm going to go even further
in spite of what Trump is saying. So what is
the plan there from Putin? That's a fascinating story.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
CNN.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Biden's physician refuses to answer questions from Republicans and House
probe of former president's mental fitness.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, not surprising. He was never going to say anything
between HIPPA and the Fifth Amendment. It's just this is silly.
It's yes, he was completely senile, and everybody from the
family to the cabin to the closest advisors hid it
from the American people and lied constantly with the complicity
of the press. Guilty. And this is the third or
(15:09):
fourth time this has happened in the last one hundred years,
so it's not exactly brand new as a strategy. And
understand me, I'm not saying it's not a huge deal
in scandalous and terrible, but we all know with one
hundred percent certainty, and we know who was involved, including
this doctor's die job is highly suspicious. Just ready to
(15:32):
go for exercises. Hair. Oh, it's terrible. It has like
the haircut of an eight year old boy in nineteen
sixty four. I mean, it's just a terrible look. But no,
nothing is going to come up. That's an interesting critique.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
From the Washington Post.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Trump announces fifty percent tariff on Brazil, citing the trial.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Of President Yeah, that's not my favorite Trump story from.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
The New York Jealous ex wife allegedly spied on former
husband and new family inside of home for over seven
hundred hours by tapping into ring cameras.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Wow, oh wow, funny. I was just closing the tab
we were talking about yesterday about how all of your
smart devices are constantly reporting on you constantly, But I
hadn't thought of that. I would like to hear more
about the whole smart device spying on me thing. I
had a friend who was really big on putting tape
over their cameras and uh and or short circuiting the
(16:36):
audio speaker and stuff like that. And I thought that
was paranoid, but maybe not.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
And finally, from the Babylon b after tsa shoe policy change,
production finally resumes at Crazy Mohammed's shoebomb factory.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa, that's that's etchy. Alright, I appreciate it. Yeah,
As Joe made the point the other day, if the
guy had tried twenty five years ago to blow up
a plane with earbuds that were bombs, you wouldn't be
allowed to take earbuds on a plane, and everybody would
be listening to their audio through their speaker out loud
and carrying on their conversation, walking through security with shoes
(17:14):
on all this time. So it's just, you know, it's
kind of an odd reaction the way we do things.
There's plenty of news to get to and we'll do
that coming up if you miss it. Gets the podcast
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
A new declaration in Mexico gives nineteen cats roaming the
Presidential Palace food and care forever. That's cute in gratitude,
the cats will act like they want you to rub
their belly. Then if you do, claw the Bejesus out
of your arm.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
True, I do not understand you people who feed feral cats. Ah,
we got a couple in my neighborhood. Luckily it's a
couple of blocks from my house, but my son actually
got attacked. As overstating it, but the cat ran at him,
jumped on him and scratched up his legs. So that
(18:04):
is an attack. It's an attack. But I don't want
to make it sound like he was attacked by a
lion or something. But it was a cat and he
got scratched up, and nobody wants that to happen. It
did easy feral cats. And every night, it seems like
around sundown when everybody's out walking their dogs in the
neighborhoods full of people like that, there's always different people
gathered around this one tree putting food out for these cats,
(18:29):
and they just are amazed by the existence of these
feral cats and feeding them and nourishing their lives. They're wild,
dangerous cats. And well, okay, yeah, that that's another element.
But there's I could how about I should pick you
up in my car. I'll pick you up in my
cyber truck. Drive you to the local shelter where there
(18:51):
are like a thousand really nice house cats that are
going to be put to sleep that you could take
in if you want that. Aren't going to attack anyone,
You feral cat people, What is your deal? I know
there's a similar phenomenon in my neighborhood. There are a
group of gals. There may have been a dude involved,
but I think it was all gals who actually built
(19:12):
built a clandestine shelter for the feral cats, like a
house for them, and when it was discovered, it was like,
you can't do that. But they're utterly dedicated to feeding
and medicating they. I think they have a spade neutered,
which is good. Well, that's great, but I don't get
(19:32):
it at all. Yeah. I mean, if you have a
like a big rat problem or something, all right, we
can talk. But yeah, I don't. I don't get you.
Let me tell you this, the faral cat invites me.
If I can't, I'm gonna kick the living crap out
of that thing. Well, you murdered a rooster for attacking
your son. I don't need to be gets off scott Free.
I need to be attacked by wildcats. No, no, I
(19:56):
think that would have been dealt with harshly in my
Anny who I got us off track? Yes you did. So.
We mentioned briefly the inevitable, idiotic, immoral politicization of the
Texas floods. America does have a problem with emergency warning systems,
(20:18):
as the people of Pacific Palisades. I actually have a
bunch of different examples of that, and I do want
to get to that. We seem unable as a country
to come up with a way to have emergency warnings
that work well. I was talking to a radio insider
who said everything in the emergency broadcast system worked the
(20:40):
way it is designed to work around this particular story.
It's just some of the stuff that we talked about
the other day. People go to these camps specifically to
get away from their smartphones. So everybody puts their smartphones
away and or both. You're somewhere where you don't get
smart phone signal, and you know, we've all come to
(21:03):
rely on our smartphones for any information. So if people
are going to put those away, what's your alert system
going to be? I didn't talk about I grew up
in the middle of nowhere where you had town siren
for all kinds of different things, and that's been done
away with a lot of places because of the smartphone
alert system. You'd feel like, well, you don't need the
town siren anymore. But the town siren's pretty good if
(21:25):
you don't have your phone. And if you're in a
very rural area like Kirk County, Texas, the river country
there but is pretty heavily populated in the summertime with campers,
what sort of systems you need there? And one had
been green lighted to be studied or something, but they
hadn't gotten around to building it yet. But Wall Street
(21:48):
Journal was talking about how time after time, like fire
evacuation warnings in the Alta d in the neighborhood of
La arrived too late. Across the Pacific, Maui's outdoor sirens
never sounded two years ago, remember that when those horrific,
deadly wildfires approached the edge that's Hawaiian Island. And they
(22:08):
give a couple more examples too. But between the over
lapping patchwork of technologies that Jack was just discussing, and
let's not leave out radio AM, radio especially which is
still a major part of the emergency broadcast system and
worked pretty well. But obviously you've got to have your
radio on. So anyway, it's a real change. Seconding you
(22:31):
telling me a bunch of children campers didn't have AM
radios with them at camp? What fun is camp without
listening to AM radio? Please? Can we listen to talk radio?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We've got a go canoeing?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
What do armstrong?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You get? You think of the tariffs right right? Poor
little kids denying them that pleasure. So anyway, what we
do about this, if we do anything about it, and
we probably won't, is anybody's guess. But I am tempted
to advocate something exceedingly simple and technology free like the
(23:07):
town siren. Now how that applies in a rural area
like this. There are ways to adapt it, I would think.
But if you have catastrophic flood issues in a particular
area and everybody knows it, you have one tower that
has a siren, and the emergency management to people in
(23:28):
that county have the responsibility to set it off every mile.
Cases they don't, every so many miles you do because
you can hear these sirens. Having grown up with this,
you can hear them for a very long way away.
We lived several miles outside of town, and we heard
the noon whistle every day. Yeah. Another related story on
the I was taking shots at left wing wackadoodles only
(23:50):
moments ago on the quote unquote, I guess right wing
conspiracy theory side of things. They are running hot and heavy,
and this poor son of a gun he runs. His
name is Augustus Dorico. He's a young entrepreneur, a scientist.
He's started a cloud seating company, rain Maker, that had
(24:15):
actually been operating in Texas, not terribly far from you
know where the terrible flooding occurred. Uh And and because
of this, the Internet has decided that he caused the
catastrophic flooding and is responsible for the murder of all
those children. Oh my god. Of course, as he pointed out,
the most the most successful experiment in the history of
(24:38):
our country, our company rather yielded a like an infinitesimal
uh fraction the rainfall that came right. I was gonna say,
much Ley, we couldn't do that if we wanted. My
knowledge of cloud seating is that it's not that effective.
So yeah, he's not the blame uh one. Prominent conspiracy
(25:02):
influencer on X in a post that received two point
six million views. I'm gonna try to figure out who
it was. Meet Augustus Dorico, twenty five year old tech
pro and thel fellow who founded the weather modification startup
brain Maker. Why is a billionaire funding private weather experiments
in Texas? Texas got biblical flooding, fake weather, fake hurricanes,
(25:24):
fake flooding, fake fake fake, wrote Republican congressional candidate Candice
Taylor on X. And this guy's getting death threats round
the clock. I don't like the term weather modification. I
don't think we need to be doing that. Yeah, yeah,
so the Internet goes wild. And one more story. We
(25:44):
don't have time for this, but I thought it was
really interesting. Chris Martz wrote a piece for The Free Beacon.
He is, he's got a degree in meteorological science, and
he just by following the evidence, became very skeptical of
the conventional claims about climate change and man causing it
(26:08):
and what could be done about and that sort of stuff,
a topic we've talked about many, many times. And he
was shocked. And most of this piece is about how
he has been targeted and ridiculed and docked, and people
have tried to ruin his career and the rest of
it merely for asking difficult questions about data. And it's
(26:31):
now happened a couple of times, I think with enough
clarity that all of us are starting to wake up
to it. The COVID thing was a perfect example. The
very nature of science is questioning what was believed before
and experimenting and looking at data and uncovering new truths. Wrong.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The sun revolves around the Earth and we're sticking with that.
Anybody who says any different should be hung upside down, right,
And one of the highest goals of some science is
to figure out that what we used to believe is wrong.
That's what science is. But here are a couple of
examples where any questioning of the conventional wisdom is treated
(27:13):
like heresy. And I use that term advisor, right. Yeah,
it is challenging the very god we worship. And you
will be banned, you'll be except communicated, you will be
burnt at this steak. And they haven't actually set this
guy on fire yet. But career wise, it's been a
hell of a battle that quasi religious like poisoning of
(27:39):
science and what it is. We've seen that a couple
of times now. And whenever you see that man get
you get your your spider sense up, or your fur
on the back of your neck, or getting a fighting
posture or I don't know, load your weapons. Uh load.
That is an unholy perversion of science. And no, I
don't work for an oil company. I don't care what
(28:00):
the truth is. I just want to know what the
truth is. I represent science and that's the last effing
thing you represent. You wuhan virus modifying murderer. Wow? Wow,
I stand by those words. There's a new Superman movie
out that's getting a lot of attention. Maybe tell you
(28:20):
about that coming up if you're that oh oh oh,
have you heard about what the woke director said? No?
I have not. Oh you got to do this? Why
do you got to do this? Why can't I God,
why can't my kid just go to Superman without knowing
what the wolke director said about? And hell, if you
want to turn your son into communists, send them to
the communist Superman movie. Go ahead, Okay, we got mail
(28:45):
Pak coming up. Stay here. Speaking of Russian bullspit uh
Marco Rubio's meeting with Lavrov, the spokesman for Putin, who
is the all time bs or in world history practically,
and Marco Ruby, who ain't the kind of guy that
(29:06):
puts up with that much. I don't know what his
marching orders are from Trump, but no, he knows exactly
who Lavrov because he's the foreign minister and has been
for twenty five thirty years something like that. I mean,
he is completely full of crap, that guy. Oh my goodness. Yeah,
it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that. Indeed, Yeah,
something guaranteed significant will come out of that. Here's your
(29:29):
freedom loving quote of today from Thomas Sowell, continuing the
series The Great Man, the Great Thinker, celebrating his ninety
fifth birthday. Oh, we're on vacation, and a funny coincidence.
The next and the list of quotes I had compiled
is some things must be done on faith, but the
most dangerous kind of faith is that which masquerades as science.
(29:50):
In quotes exactly what we were just talking about. Wow.
Then the next quote in the list, yet more on it. No,
it's just really interesting. Ye, it's funny coincidence. And his
next quote is it takes considerable knowledge just to realize
the extent of your own ignorance, and it's funny another coincidence.
I've said more than once that I've realized I have
(30:14):
the most depressing level of intelligence. I'm just bright enough
to understand how dumb I am. I mean, For instance,
we got an email from a listener. We're gonna get
the mailbag in a second. We got an email from
a listener with a set of arguments on a really
intriguing topic. And I understood them. I understood how astute
(30:35):
they were and clever they were, and I also understood
that I never could have come up with them. So
I sit here depressed. Not a hell with it. You
play the cards. You're tell best today.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Whoa, whoa?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I guess we'll do a mail bag now. Would drop
us a note mail bag at Armstrong and get it
dot com. We'll get to those brilliant arguments down the
road later. On the topic of Mamdani and a Marxist dad,
the president of the mayoral candidate in New York City
is getting so much attention. If you don't think it's
a big deal that a communist is about to become
(31:11):
the mayor of the most important city on Earth, you
are even dopier than I am. In nineteen seventy two,
Edia Mean expelled all Indians and South Asians from Uganda.
They've been there for generations, originally building railroads for the Brits.
They prospered, bird became a class of merchants, farmers, and
civil employees. Amn's a mean stole all their property and
(31:34):
blamed them for being racists. The Indians migrated all over
the world, and Mamdani's dad came to the US and
became a Marxist professor. His story is to blame everything
on colonialism to justify marx not dictators, not racial and
religious bigotry. He's a Muslim, not a big fan of
the Jews, so that wouldn't work. The biggest tyrant is
(31:54):
that his son's politics use some of Ediaman's policies and rationales,
like blaming one race over another for lack of success,
taking private property for greater good, et cetera. Only an
intellectual could believe this stuff. I agree, well, said my
friend Adam writes, guys, you were talking about your data
(32:15):
stealing toasters and TVs and ring doorbells and the rest
of it. The giant CD enterprise of data collectors. It
aligns with what I've been saying about the burger clown.
Many restaurants now have rewards apps, but they're blatant. They
have price differences if you don't share your valuable guilty time,
pleasure time habits with them. Well, I've not downloaded the
(32:38):
McDonald's app because I feel like that would be crossing
a line for me, but dietarily not like data. Yeah,
I hadn't thought about it, but I'm sure it's one
of those apps that you're given over all kinds of
information by downloading the app, and they push it hard.
Every time you go pull up to the McDonald's drive through,
they say, well, are you ordering with the app today?
(32:59):
To let you know that have the app, that's the
first thing that they say to you. And if you
opt in, they take all of your data and give
you a little discount. Yeah, because you're probably selling your
data for much much more than the little discount. Yeah,
there's more money in the app than there is and
whatever meal you're about to order. Wow. Yeah, I wonder
what the profit margin is? I mean, because what's the
cost associated with developing the app spread over millions of customers?
(33:23):
Practically enough? Ada McDonald's with the kids night before last. Delicious.
Gotta tell you didn't taste like a burger, but Delicious
cost fifty dollars. All we got was cheeseburgers, a couple
of fries, and waters fifty bucks. Another Jay in San
Jose writes, train your AI dragon. Having gone through all
the upgrades over the last three decades of technology changes
(33:44):
in the workforce, we learned that crap in eagles crap
out right. If we've put bad data in a system,
we get bad results. Groc that was spouting is spouting
anti Semitism and up with Hitler stuff and the rest
of it. The other day, Let's see Groc is looking worldwide,
including outside of the US. Huge numbers of Muslims and others
don't like Jews, and that sentiment probably shows up when
(34:05):
Groc is trolling for all the data or not. That's
why that listener yesterday was telling you to train your dragon.
You can't just let him fly around eating everything. Well.
Groc is Elon's outfit here was originally with open ai,
but left them when they decided to be a for
profit business. Open Ai is about to release their AI
powered web browser that is supposed to challenge Google. So
(34:28):
Google is in a bad spot, all right, need to
get to these let's see. Jennifer points out the government
needs to delve into the abuse of social security numbers,
start tracking down illegals, using them fraudulently, and deport them. Yeah,
I want to get to that. Identity theft is a
huge scandal that's never talked about with illegal immigration. Then
I needed to get to this. I absolutely love it.
(34:50):
Marilyn is listening to the show I Believe in Beautiful
San Diego. That's correct, and her Jack report that Tony
Sirico of the Sopranos has just died, but died in
twenty twenty two, and she's wondering why the Fabulous Patriot
AM thirteen sixty is playing years old reruns of the
Armstrong and Getty Show. Marilyn, They're not playing rerun. We
(35:16):
just got I don't know, duped into thinking he just
died or had forgotten he died the second time in
a year. We've gotten a celebrity death wrong.

We got to get better, be better, Armstrong and Getty
