Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Get Katy and no he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So some people are saying this is bigger than Watergate.
It's not landing like Watergate so far, but that's partially
because the most of the media isn't covering it at all.
What's the story?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, as of yesterday, several Republican senators revealed that Special
Council Jack Smith, you remember him, he's investigating January sixth.
He had analyzed, well, he'd gotten access to and analyzed
the phone records of nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers as
part of Operation Arctic Fraud looking into January sixth. As
(01:02):
I said, the list includes Lindsey Graham, Senator Marsha Blackburn,
Ron Johnson, Josh Holly, and others GOP Congressperson Mike Kelly.
The records allowed investigators to not listen to the calls,
but saw who was called, the date, the time, and
the length of phone calls. And they got these records
(01:25):
through a grand jury subpoena. I guess, but Republicans are
condemning the action. As a politically motivated abuse of power,
weaponization of the FBI, and essentially asking why the hell
are you spying on United States senators?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I you know, I hate to be overly cynical.
I just don't. I just don't think anything ever comes
of any of these stories. It's unfortunate. I mean, there's
lots of bad things that happen in government, especially around
our intel agencies, and just nothing ever comes of them.
And I'm not exactly sure why. I don't know if
it gets down to at the end, it's like a
(02:00):
we do they do it, we all do it. Let's
just move on or something.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know, Right, let's make a show out of
yelling about it, but it's not going to go anywhere
and we know it. Yeah, well, and who was it?
Was it jud Schumer who said, you know, you go
up against the intel agencies. They got six ways from
Sunday to get you. That's with you.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That's interesting. I believe that that this moves me into
semi conspiracy territory.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But I believe this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I think the intelligence agencies do whatever the hell they want,
whenever the hell they want, way beyond what most Americans
would accept or as constitutional.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think there's truth to that, sure.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I don't think there's anything you can do about it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't think they're completely out of control, but there's
a lot that happens in the shadows that you would
not approve of. And as you pointed out last time
this came up, we have intelligence sharing relationships with a
bunch of countries where we're not allowed to spy on
our people, but they are, and say we call him
up and say, hey, what did Jack Armstrong state to
Joe Getty when he called him the other day? And
(03:07):
the other country it's not constrained, says, oh, it was this.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah. And remember there was a big story home how
many years ago, and I surprised that I thought it
was a giant scandal at the time. Dianne Feinstein got
spied on by CIA, NSA whoever was spying on her,
and she was upset about it. Should have been huge
that the intelligencies shouldn't be spying on us Senators, right,
(03:34):
I would agree what happened, and I've always believed this,
and I think we're gonna learn more about it today
in future weeks. But the FBI, in particular, they were
certain Trump was going to lose, so they thought, we
can do all the spine we want. He's a bad guy,
he's gonna lose. Then he won. I'm talking about in
(03:55):
twenty sixteen, and then it was b right, and then
the cover ups began. Yeah, anyway, So Pam Bondy is,
she's the Attorney General and she was appearing before one
of these committees where they all give speeches and try
to score points and get on television. But because this
(04:15):
story broke yesterday, it kept coming up. For instance, this
is Lindsey Graham talking to Pam BONDI was.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
There, ever an effort by the FBI to tell the
Faizo Court about evidence that the man who helped prepare
the document retracted his statement.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I can't discuss that, Senator, should there have been, can't
discuss that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You wonder why we're looking at Koby? Give me a break.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why are we looking at Komy because he ran an
FBI and personally knew about its sculptor information.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And let it slide.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
How in the hell can two FBI agents interview a
man who says the document you're using again a sitting
president to suggest he may be a Russian agent or
Carter Page that is now no longer reliable. How does
that not get to the court? Can you tell me
how that doesn't get to the court. You can't, ken you.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I can't senat Arnie.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That wasn't the right topic. But that was a good clip.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So that is the hole. And this is well documented.
The FBI decided to spy on carter Page because they
thought he was a foreign agent. The CIA told the FBI, James,
call me, no, no, no, We've cleared him, He's not.
And he ignored that so that he could continue to
spy on carter Page.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And the Trump campaign, yeah, macked up the Steele dossier
and the fake the PISA warrant and the rest of it. Yeah.
But getting back to the phone records scandal, here's Lindsey
Graham on that one.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Can you tell me why my phone records when I'm
the chairman of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the
Jack Smith? H?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes? Why did they ask.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
To know who I called and what I was doing
from January fourth to the seventh?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Can you tell me.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That no senator and there were eight senators in total.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, do you think that was an abuse of power?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Senator, I cannot discuss whether there is or is not
an ongoing investigation. If I may add one thing, they
also wasted fifty million dollars on what you just described
trying to put President Trump in jail prior.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
To the election.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The intelligence agencies do whatever they want, whenever they want,
and never uh and they have little to no oversight.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah. That one. Plus, you know, if you are a
special prosecutor with a friendly administration in office, specifically the
Biden administration, who will turn a blind blind eye to,
you know, the weaponization of the Justice Department, which the
left is allegedly all upset about these days. With Trump off,
Josh Hawley wanted a little bit of this.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Thank you very much, mister Chairman. Attorney General BONDI good
to see you, welcome. I've been listening closely in this hearing,
and I've heard over and over from my Democrat colleagues
concerns about targeting political enemies, and they've accused you of
all manner of things, and the current president. I've also
heard them said, and I just wrote it down because
I wanted to be sure I heard it correctly. I've
heard them say that Joe Biden never targeted his political enemies.
(07:26):
Joe Biden never directed his attorney general to target his
political opponents. Huh, that's interesting because I could have sworn that.
Yesterday we learned that the FBI tap my phone.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Let's look at it. We've got a list.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Tap my phone, tap Lindsay Graham's phone, tapped, Marshall Blackburn's
phone tapped five other phones of United States senators.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Gee, it sure looks.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Like targeting political opponents to me, And yet I haven't
heard a word from that side of the DAIS about
any concern whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We've got nothing but.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Concerns today, but no concern at all for a Justice
Department that is tapping the phones of sitting United States
senators because who knows why they don't like them. They're
members of the opposition party, they're Republicans, they're Conservatives.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So well, this, this principle applies to so many of
our different things right now, political violence, statements about political violence, spying,
weaponizing the justice barman, all that. Until each side starts
calling out their own side, we will never make any progress.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know. I don't know if it's the size of
the government and the budget and the ability to spread
trillions of dollars around. I think it probably is. At
some point the incentives to be bad crowd out the
incentives to be good. And I just I don't see
(09:03):
energy toward actual reform and straightening it out and raining
in the budgets and the rest of it. I just
I don't see that. You know that you're looking for
green shoots, as they say in the commentary business, I'm
not seeing the green shoots. I don't think we can
govern ourselves anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, like, what's the example Trump did the other day
where he fired the one person and put in a
new person so they could go after who When he.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Talked about this last week or the week before whichever one, Oh, yeah,
they were refusing to prosecute somebody or other.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But anyway, you know the thing, And I like if
Josh Holly would say, and I don't think Donald Trump
should have gone after whoever it was and Democrats, And
then if you had one Democratic senator who would say,
it's outrageous that the Biden Justice Department was spying on
Republican senators. But that will never get anywhere until you
(10:01):
until somebody can ever do that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and even if both sides are right, It just
it sounds like noise to most people who observe it
because they don't spend all day thinking about this stuff,
and they shouldn't. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just discouraged.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It is discouraging. Well, you're right, we can't govern ourselves.
We no longer can govern ourselves. Good night, good night.
I don't know I see how we break out.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Duty and patriotism up against greed and lust for power.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I don't know how you break out of this, because
anybody who called out their own side in an effort
to call out both sides would get primaried and lose
immediately next election.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Monarchy, now, that's all. When Prince William gets the helm
over there in Great Britain, why don't we say, hey,
look the whole seventeen seventy six thing. We feel bad
about it. We're wondering whether or not being part of
Britain would be a giant step in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So wise and benevolent king, that's all we need. You
have more of that polling on how progressives are crazier
than because I want to hear I want to talk
about that more. Okay, because I have a comment on
that that's just right.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, just so much commenting. Right, it's a talk show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's on my W two.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's what I gotta do. And I want to get
to the big time solid media editorial talking about how
stupid it is that all the mainstream media is referring
to the guy who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh as
a woman. It's a dude, it's a dude. And finally,
mainstream publications, well the Wall Street Journal anyway, you're saying, look,
he's a man. Can we stop this place?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
How recently did he decide he was a Woman's pretty recently, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But it got him a much much lighter prison sentence
because the Biden appointee judge said, ah, that's so tough
what you're going through. I don't want to put you
in a men's prison for a long time. I'll give
you lights. Did you do that if you got pulled over? Sure?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Hey, you know what. I was just driving to work
and I decided I think I'm on and as little confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And you're prosecuting me because I'm transgender, and my parents
are mean to me because they don't accept it. So
don't give me a ticket and the trooper says, I
see your point. Drivet carefully, Okay, we got a lot
on the way.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Stay here, Hi, good night everybody.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounding the alarm, saying, as air
traffic controllers worry about when they'll next get paid, the
department is now seeing a slight uptick in sick calls
around the country. President Trump implying negotiations are underway, but
Schumer denying any talks, saying Trump's claim isn't true, but
if he's finally ready to work with Democrats, we'll be
(12:44):
at the table.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So air traffic controllers are calling in sick or saying
they won't go to work because they're not getting paid.
And evening newscast I watched last night it was some
air traffic controllers saying, how am I going to make
my mortgage? Nobody's missed a dime of payment yet were
full week away from anybody missing a paycheck. So this
(13:07):
is some sort of political gambit. Oh yeah, yeah, for no,
absolutely So the reason this we started talking about this
poll last hour has listened to a couple of people
talking about the online dating world and how common it
is for people to have in their profiles, no magas,
(13:28):
but they've never come across a single person who said
nobody who voted for Kamala Harris. Like it's common to
say I will not date anybody who voted for Trump,
but unheard of, at least according to them, for anyone
to say I will not date someone that voted for
Kamala Harris. And that doesn't really surprise me, I guess.
(13:49):
And then we got this poll to back it up. Yeah,
I've been looking through a couple of different polls. More
than seventy percent of single Democrats so they would not
date someone who voted for Trump, according to a twenty
twenty poll. And then you've got a pully got a
lot of attention Harris poll.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I think it was that three times as many Democrats
had ended friendships as Republicans over politics. Young people much
more often than older people, who think that's ludicrous, but wow,
And a lot of it's tied to they are who
(14:28):
they are is their politics, and they see all politics
is an important moral decision.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Not just a policy difference.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, practical application of various policies by a government that
really ought to stay the hell out of our lives. No,
they associate the politics so closely with who they are.
Anybody who rejects their politics is insulting them and hurting
them personally. Conservatives feel that way a lot less.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That rings true with a couple of examples I'm thinking
of in my head. People actually know that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Feel like you're not just wrong about the policy, you
are evil and you're judging them as Yeah, that's interesting. Hmm.
Do you have any idea why that is? People on
the left tend to be more emotional.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah, and just there's this strain of thinking that
you know, generally speaking, conservatives think progressives are wrong, Progressives
think conservatives are evil, and I will gladly be friends
with somebody I think is wrong about something. All my
friends are wrong about something. I'm wrong about something, but
(15:44):
I'm not going to be friends with somebody I view
as just clearly evil. True, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's hard for me to come up with an example,
but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Like if you were a hardcore.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Little kids who just who decide they're the different sex
ought to be whisked off to be operated on and
hide it from the parents, I don't think I'd probably
be friends with you, no as opposed. Do you believe
in a bigger safety net than I do?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, that's that's way beyond the pale, and that's you know,
that's a great example of how the radical like nobody
was with them left became the mainstream during the madness
that period of COVID and everything elsewhere you weren't allowed
to say somebody with a penis and testicles was a man,
and you weren't allowed to say all lives matter, and
(16:39):
you weren't allowed to say no. I think a gay
adolescent boy ought to not get operations to turn him,
to turn himself into an imitation of a woman. I
think that's sick.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Can you out there do the online dating thing? Do
you see that?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No maga or no?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Do you ever see no Kamala nobody who voted for
Kamala or anything like that on anything. I'm just curious
text line four, one, five, two, ninetc.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, you're much much less likely to see the Kammal
thing just because conservatives don't care that much.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Right, it's not so much of your identity, I think.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Right, Yeah, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
There's certainly some military lawyers inside the Pentagon who including
international law experts, who have raised concerns about the legality
of these strikes construct boats of the Caribbean. We've even
from multiple who said they these strikes don't appear to
be legal. The problem here is that Pentagon lawyers can't
overrule the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. That's really
the pre eminent legal interpretation for the executive branch, and
(17:36):
where many sources told us that lawyers inside the Pentagon
are effectively.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Resigned to put their head down and eat it.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
One put it that way, basically say that they could
go along with it, not to rock the boat because
ultimately they know they can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But I'm interesting to see when we get a final
ruling on the weather or not we can blast people
out of the sea because we think the drug runners
and we're at war with them because they're a terrorist orgation, Yeah,
narco terrorists.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, that will be determined.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
So, uh, before we get to our main thing, we're
on the topic of I don't know, polarization and all
that different sort of stuff, and then the idea that
there's a lot of people apparently in online dating you
have no MAGA. But I wonder does anybody ever say no, Kamala,
somebody texted the common not as common, but what you
see is no vas, So you won't date somebody got vaccinated?
(18:29):
But I don't know does that I guess it's tied
into politics. Yeah, what that is?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't know that that.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That to me is crazy too, to not date somebody
because they got vaccinated. Yeah, I think that is crazy, Karamba.
I mean, if you're a you get the new vaccination
every month. Still weren't a mask person like you mentioned
earlier that that makes you a nut? But you ever
got a vaccination?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
No, that's fine, right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
A couple of texts I did online dating after I
got divorced.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm over the age of fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The first person to contact me about three messages in
before they started. I was only three messages in before
they started to ask me about what my thoughts on Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Although I did not vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I told them I didn't think we would be a
good fit just because politics matters so much to you.
She proceeded to start texting me about how I was
a Nazi, just kept going.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
For not wanting to talk about politics.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, and then I want to get this one on
because this is a good text. This was us having
the conversation about Barry Weiss's Free Press organization getting bought
by Paramount and then she's going to be in charge
of news at CBS. And I was happy about that
because I think she's just trying to do honest journalism.
And I said, that's kind of what we're trying to do.
(19:56):
This person reacted, wa ha ha ha ha. You comparing
your product horror show to Berry Weiss and the Free Press.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Baha, guess that makes high.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Pitched, squawking, menopausal jackal and armstrong your lesbian wife.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Bah. That's an excellent bit. Enjoyed that. Hunter Thompson esked,
I don't know what's going on there. Oh that's great.
Oh yeah, you know what I said. I was going
to bring you more of the freak out quotes from
various people in the media over Barry Weiss, the female Jewish, lesbian,
(20:38):
center lefty person taking over CBS News and how that
was the end of the republic and the ushering and
fascism and the rest of it. It's just these people
are out of their minds. And if you're that whipped
up emotionally, I understand how they can back violence because
they're they're like shrieking, they're so upset about all of it. Well,
(21:01):
gassing is justified. I get it. If you're that beside
yourself over this minor you know, twist in American journalism, Yes,
you're probably going to commit an act of violence.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't think we've mentioned Gavin Newsome all week. Well
it's only Tuesday, but see on vacation.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
What the hell what's going on? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He said again over the weekend, I'm not sure there's
going to be an election after twenty six or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That sort of.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Talk is just not helping anyone.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, and because gave certain people believe that, right, they
don't understand that you're engaging in Twitter style hyperbole to
raise money and get people's attention and sell yourself as
the guy who's fighting against Trump. They actually believe that.
And if they actually believe that, I would say, you know,
given Jefferson's proclamation that the tree of liverty must be
(21:48):
watered with a blood of tyrants and patriots from time
to time, if you actually thought it was going to
be the end of our democracy, yeah, you'd be justified
in committing acts of violence. See that's the problem, Gavin.
But you don't care because you have no soul and
you have no principles. So laugh, I laughed. I might
(22:09):
as well lecture a goat as Gavin Newsom. So I
came across this yesterday that a Biden appointed judge had
a seven hour hearing and gave a long speech justifying
a shockingly low sentence for the twenty two year old
man who showed up to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
(22:31):
He was heavily, heavily armed with burglary tools and zip
ties and guns and ammunition and knives and all sorts
of stuff. And at one point the judge said she
was glad the crime had made his mom accept his
transgender identity. And I quote from the judge, you know,
more than an hour long speech just finding the light sentence,
(22:52):
Judge Boardman said, quote. Ms Rosky came out to herself
as transgender in twenty twenty. This is the man who
committed of the crime. Came out to herself as transgender
in twenty twenty, but kept it secret. Mis Roski's sister
came out as gay two years prior, but mis Roski
saw that their parents struggled to reconcile her sexuality with
their religious beliefs. I am heartened that this terrible infraction
(23:15):
has helped the Roski family accept their daughter for who
she is. His mother, Colleen told the judge on Friday
that quote, I have attended p flag meetings and learned
about the LGBTQ plus community. I am committed to going
on this journey with Sophie. She was frustrated with what
was going on in the world, and we weren't a
safe place to process it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, this leads me to believe that the lighter sentence
was about the transgender stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, partly because Trump has declared men will serve out
their full terms in men's prisons or whatever, and so
this judge thought, oh, no, this woman, because a twenty
two year old man who just says, yeah, now I'm
a girl is a woman in this judge's islence, but
it was too cruel to sentence him to a man's
(24:03):
prison for a long time. Well, or am I wrong?
Or note from this journalist. As his mother wept, Nicholas
Roski also choked up his Adam's apple, bobbing up and down.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's a good detail. I may have gotten lost as
to which was the journalist and which was the judge.
But somebody in there thinks that you're somewhat excused for
wanting to kill a Supreme Court justice if you had
a difficult home life around your transgender situation. Correct, Yeah, yeah,
(24:35):
that's nuts to you. A pardon the expression, I will,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Earlier in the hearing, the judge lashed out at prosecutors
and President Donald Trump, saying, quote, let's not hide the
fact that President Trump issued an executive order saying transgender
inmates would be assigned to prison with their biological sex.
The prosecutor replied that there was an injunction holding up
much of the inform one of that executive order. But
the judge of pined about giving a shorter sentence because
(25:06):
of Rosky's transgenderism, even as she said that thanks to
a cord in junction, Rosky may get female hormones in
federal prison. Essentially, it's now a girl, and Trump is
cruel to put him her in a woman's prison, So
I'm going to give her a lighter sentence.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's crazy that people are in supportive putting someone with
a penis in a woman's prison.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, to rape or do whatever else, and they're clearly
mentally disturbed, I mean by any reasonable definition.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I had another point on this with a prison
and Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And let me chuch you with this, and then you
jump in. So Matthew Hennessy in the opinion section of
Wall Street Journal wrote this piece It's called Kavanaughs would
be assassin as a man. One benefit of Donald Trump's
second presidency is the Americans can talk openly about the
trans delusion and what it's doing to our politics. In
the cultural atmosphere of a year or two ago, I
(26:02):
probably wouldn't say this. The person who is sentenced to
Friday ninety seven months in federal prison for attempting to
assassinate kevanah blah blah blah is a twenty nine year
old man. His name is Nicholas Rosky. Most of the
mainstream media and Judge Deborah L. Boardman of the Federal
District of Maryland decided to endorse the fiction that mister
Roski is now a woman named Sophie, and then he
(26:23):
quotes the judge. The Justice Department distinguished itself by refusing
to participate in this charade. In his statement on the sentence,
FBI Director Cash Mattel made a point of referring to
mister Roski's Nicholas, which is his legal name. For a decade,
trans advocates in their media allies and bullied ordinary people
into silence about biographical facts, biological reality exactly somebody else,
(26:49):
was it this guy or somebody else said that was
very clever.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Whoever came up dead naming to put the word dead
in there. I mean, how a you're doing is given
a different name, but you know it fits in with
that whole narrative of they'll kill themselves if you don't
buy into this dead name, right.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It sounds very dramatic. Well, and I love what he
writes when the federal Law Enforcement Apparatus says it's okay
to not lie. Justice has served. When people no longer
feel they might lose their jobs or reputations if they
misgender or dead name someone, we're back on the path
to sanity. And he says at one point, I can't
find it, but his sex is as much a question
(27:27):
of fact as his hometown and his age. You don't
get to declare what it is. It's a biological fact.
It's not a decision to be made or an opinion
to be held well, especially since.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
He was identifying as male at the time of the crime.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Right, yeah, yeah, although he'd come out to himself according
to the judge.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Okay, I'm not sure I know what that means. Uh,
that'd be a hard one to That'd be a hard
one to prove not true. If you can start announcing
when you came out to yourself, and yet it was
good enough for a federal judge, that's something.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And then picture of this being said anywhere but on
this show a year or two ago, handing your rights.
You'd have to be pretty out of touch or really
committed to the bit not to have noticed how trans
people a bit at the center of recent episodes of
political violence. Prosecutors have said that Charlie Kirk's alleged killer
was in a relationship with a biological man who is
transitioning genders. Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman born Robert, posted
(28:28):
a manifesto in which he claimed he was tired of
being trans. Police said Audrey Hale, who killed three children
and three adults at a Nashville, Tennessee school in March
twenty three, was transgender as journalists often say one examples
of fluke, two is a coincidence, three is a trend.
Four puts us well into trend territory. But the media
has been loathed to connect the dots. Well, how about
(28:49):
what journalistic investigations of the trend are dedicated to the
proposition that trans people are more often the victim of
crimes than perpetrators, so we probably shouldn't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Well, how do you get three or four of one
particular group when that particular group is like zo point
zero one percent of the population. I mean, the odds
of that are like astronomical.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah. Well, and I stand by my statement that quote
unquote transgender people are mentally disturbed, you know, a little
or a lot. I recently saw the statistics on sex
crimes being committed. The number out of one hundred thousand
people that commit sex crimes among women, it's vanishingly small,
(29:28):
Among men, it's troublingly large. Among transgender people, it dwarfs
men per capita. They're sexually confused people. And finally, Hennessy ends,
Perhaps experts in psychiatry and criminology will begin to exploring
the obvious but poorly understood connection connections among mental illness,
(29:49):
radical trans ideology, and the recent upsurge in political violence.
In the meantime, the Trump administration has done a public
service by refusing to bow before the liberal consensus that
people can change the sex. That has released the rest
of us from the obligation to play along. I never
felt that obligation, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Isn't that one of the issues that Democrat Rama Manuel
said the Democratic Party needs to Uh there was a
crazy one putting men in women's prisons.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, yeah, I think he mentioned sports too, but yeah,
and he's absolutely right. You know, Ram did an interview
with a lefty organization. I can't remember who it was,
but and he he knows when attack left because he
came off as a full on, you know, liberal politician.
So it's not like he's you know, nineties Bill Clinton
(30:40):
or anything, but he's he's better than the wok lunatics.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Okay, we will what that say? Okay, something about a
shark attack. I got distracted. We will finish strong next.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
What they're doing to the country is so incredible, and
they got away with it with all their woke crap,
and now it's stopped and we have a country that's
based on common sense and strength and intelligence.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
There you go woke crap and now it's stopped. Good,
Like Canadian Prime Minister is sitting there. Oh, hey, we're
still woke up here. We're still crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're out of control.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
I guess I've got to sit here and take it
because we're just your hat. But we're still woke, you
know what I wish? Oh, and I forgot all about
the Canada be in our fifty first state thing. I
forgot all about that. Those were good times. President Trump's
been president for what nine months?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
In Greenland? What happened Greenland? Seems like many years. It's
been nine months.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Uh, I do not mind that I have no hair
on my head. It really is not something I ever
think about or or like about what would you call it?
Feel bad about it? Which wish I could change?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, insecurity, I have zero. I have zero insecurity about that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And you've got a pleasingly you're very fortunate in that regard.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, I am lucky that I don't have like a
weird dent somewhere, But I do wish I could grow
a mustache. I was looking at a guy there's like
a musician up on the TV playing on the talk
the morning shows.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I've got the mustache.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I just really really really really really wish I could
grow mustache.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I would take that over hair on I at any day.
What style of mustaches do you imagine wearing?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I actually wish I had kind of the I mentioned
people that not everybody knows, like Timothy LeMay, like not
the really big but like I'm sad and Mussein mustache
just kind of a you know, it's not so wispy
that you look like a sophomore in high school trying
to grow mustache. Something in between there. I want like
a medium, That's what I would like. Can that so
(32:42):
I know? You can get hair transplants on your head?
Does anybody ever get their lip done, like transplants on
their lip that take like they take it from your
lower back and graft it onder your lip or something
like that. It's a hell of a for instance, I
don't I don't know that you would think so sure?
Speaker 10 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah, yeah, what do you think Katie grafting upper lip
graft plugs, plugs, yeah, plugs on your lips? How come
I ever heard of that? Whatever?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Whatever, I'll make you happy, Jack.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, I'm single, so I got to think in that terms.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You know, I don't know if I see you about
the biker slash Paroli Fu manshue. What do you think
of that?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Full on biker fu manshoe. The other day, we were
walking by a guy who had a handlebar mustache, pretty
white one too, and my son said, I wanted to
say nice mustache, but I thought I would hurt his feelings.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And I said, no way.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
If you have a handlebar mustache, you do that wanting
people to look at you and comment on it.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You're not like, Wow, don't mention my mustache. That's the
whole reason for doing it.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
By a thought.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
With your hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Am I wrong
or right?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
If you got a handlebar mustache or blue spiked haear
or a mohawk or something like that, don't you want
people to comment on it? I mean, isn't that the
whole point? Anyway? Let's get some final thoughts. We'll start
with our technical director Michaelangelo. Michael, what's your final thought? Yeah,
the holidays are here.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
My neighbors are setting up Halloween inflatables. I walked inside
Costco that got the entire Christmas display up.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
My wife asked me, Chris Christmas.
Speaker 10 (34:28):
Yeah, everything, Christmas, trees, decoration, you name it, the lights, everything.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Wow, we're three weeks from Halloween. Let's get final thought
from a newsperson, Katie green Well. I have a buddy
named Jamie who's got a handlebar mustache that would put
Kurt Russell and toombs Sound to shame. And what does
he want people to comment on? I would assume so
everybody does. Yeah, of course a good mustache.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah that's cool, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
My final thought, my son this morning, by himself, cooked
bacon and eggs and he sent me a picture and
said it turned out really really good. It's a good
briand thirteen years old cooking his bacon and eggs. He's
very proud of himself. Armstrong in and Getty wrapping up
an other're grueling a four hour workday, so many people
to thank and oh, by the way, go to the
website armstrong ingetdy dot com. Speaking of Christmas being right
(35:19):
around the corner, We've got lots of cool gear there
that would be a fantastic stocking. Stuff over that special
someone also Katie's corner, who's got the video of that
helicopter going down on the freeway if you haven't seen that.
Lots of good stuff always at Armstrong and Getdy dot com.
There's a bunch of stories we'll be following for tomorrow.
Whether it's the Gaza piece deal or the shutdown or
(35:41):
whatever the hell. We'll have the latest tomorrow for you.
That's what we do here. Text line is always four one, five,
two nine five KFTC. If you have any comments on
anything from today, I will be looking at them all
day long. See you tomorrow. God bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, Armstrong and Getty Show. I would much rather just
get in a pen, be fed, be sheared. Every so
often do exactly what the government tells me to do
or they're making my own decisions. Is so confusing, tell
me what to do. Get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
(36:18):
on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Get Katy and no he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So some people are saying this is bigger than Watergate.
It's not landing like Watergate so far, but that's partially
because the most of the media isn't covering it at all.
What's the story?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, as of yesterday, several Republican senators revealed that Special
Council Jack Smith, you remember him, he's investigating January sixth.
He had analyzed, well, he'd gotten access to and analyzed
the phone records of nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers as
part of Operation Arctic Fraud looking into January sixth. As
(01:02):
I said, the list includes Lindsey Graham, Senator Marsha Blackburn,
Ron Johnson, Josh Holly, and others GOP Congressperson Mike Kelly.
The records allowed investigators to not listen to the calls,
but saw who was called, the date, the time, and
the length of phone calls. And they got these records
(01:25):
through a grand jury subpoena. I guess, but Republicans are
condemning the action. As a politically motivated abuse of power,
weaponization of the FBI, and essentially asking why the hell
are you spying on United States senators?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I you know, I hate to be overly cynical.
I just don't. I just don't think anything ever comes
of any of these stories. It's unfortunate. I mean, there's
lots of bad things that happen in government, especially around
our intel agencies, and just nothing ever comes of them.
And I'm not exactly sure why. I don't know if
it gets down to at the end, it's like a
(02:00):
we do they do it, we all do it. Let's
just move on or something.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know, Right, let's make a show out of
yelling about it, but it's not going to go anywhere
and we know it. Yeah, well, and who was it?
Was it jud Schumer who said, you know, you go
up against the intel agencies. They got six ways from
Sunday to get you. That's with you.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That's interesting. I believe that that this moves me into
semi conspiracy territory.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But I believe this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I think the intelligence agencies do whatever the hell they want,
whenever the hell they want, way beyond what most Americans
would accept or as constitutional.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think there's truth to that, sure.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I don't think there's anything you can do about it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't think they're completely out of control, but there's
a lot that happens in the shadows that you would
not approve of. And as you pointed out last time
this came up, we have intelligence sharing relationships with a
bunch of countries where we're not allowed to spy on
our people, but they are, and say we call him
up and say, hey, what did Jack Armstrong state to
Joe Getty when he called him the other day? And
(03:07):
the other country it's not constrained, says, oh, it was this.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah. And remember there was a big story home how
many years ago, and I surprised that I thought it
was a giant scandal at the time. Dianne Feinstein got
spied on by CIA, NSA whoever was spying on her,
and she was upset about it. Should have been huge
that the intelligencies shouldn't be spying on us Senators, right,
(03:34):
I would agree what happened, and I've always believed this,
and I think we're gonna learn more about it today
in future weeks. But the FBI, in particular, they were
certain Trump was going to lose, so they thought, we
can do all the spine we want. He's a bad guy,
he's gonna lose. Then he won. I'm talking about in
(03:55):
twenty sixteen, and then it was b right, and then
the cover ups began. Yeah, anyway, So Pam Bondy is,
she's the Attorney General and she was appearing before one
of these committees where they all give speeches and try
to score points and get on television. But because this
(04:15):
story broke yesterday, it kept coming up. For instance, this
is Lindsey Graham talking to Pam BONDI was.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
There, ever an effort by the FBI to tell the
Faizo Court about evidence that the man who helped prepare
the document retracted his statement.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I can't discuss that, Senator, should there have been, can't
discuss that.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You wonder why we're looking at Koby? Give me a break.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why are we looking at Komy because he ran an
FBI and personally knew about its sculptor information.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And let it slide.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
How in the hell can two FBI agents interview a
man who says the document you're using again a sitting
president to suggest he may be a Russian agent or
Carter Page that is now no longer reliable. How does
that not get to the court? Can you tell me
how that doesn't get to the court. You can't, ken you.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
I can't senat Arnie.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That wasn't the right topic. But that was a good clip.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
So that is the hole. And this is well documented.
The FBI decided to spy on carter Page because they
thought he was a foreign agent. The CIA told the FBI, James,
call me, no, no, no, We've cleared him, He's not.
And he ignored that so that he could continue to
spy on carter Page.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And the Trump campaign, yeah, macked up the Steele dossier
and the fake the PISA warrant and the rest of it. Yeah.
But getting back to the phone records scandal, here's Lindsey
Graham on that one.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Can you tell me why my phone records when I'm
the chairman of the Judiciary Committee were sought by the
Jack Smith? H?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yes? Why did they ask.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
To know who I called and what I was doing
from January fourth to the seventh?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Can you tell me.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
That no senator and there were eight senators in total.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, do you think that was an abuse of power?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Senator, I cannot discuss whether there is or is not
an ongoing investigation. If I may add one thing, they
also wasted fifty million dollars on what you just described
trying to put President Trump in jail prior.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
To the election.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
The intelligence agencies do whatever they want, whenever they want,
and never uh and they have little to no oversight.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah. That one. Plus, you know, if you are a
special prosecutor with a friendly administration in office, specifically the
Biden administration, who will turn a blind blind eye to,
you know, the weaponization of the Justice Department, which the
left is allegedly all upset about these days. With Trump off,
Josh Hawley wanted a little bit of this.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Thank you very much, mister Chairman. Attorney General BONDI good
to see you, welcome. I've been listening closely in this hearing,
and I've heard over and over from my Democrat colleagues
concerns about targeting political enemies, and they've accused you of
all manner of things, and the current president. I've also
heard them said, and I just wrote it down because
I wanted to be sure I heard it correctly. I've
heard them say that Joe Biden never targeted his political enemies.
(07:26):
Joe Biden never directed his attorney general to target his
political opponents. Huh, that's interesting because I could have sworn that.
Yesterday we learned that the FBI tap my phone.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Let's look at it. We've got a list.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
Tap my phone, tap Lindsay Graham's phone, tapped, Marshall Blackburn's
phone tapped five other phones of United States senators.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Gee, it sure looks.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Like targeting political opponents to me, And yet I haven't
heard a word from that side of the DAIS about
any concern whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We've got nothing but.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Concerns today, but no concern at all for a Justice
Department that is tapping the phones of sitting United States
senators because who knows why they don't like them. They're
members of the opposition party, they're Republicans, they're Conservatives.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So well, this, this principle applies to so many of
our different things right now, political violence, statements about political violence, spying,
weaponizing the justice barman, all that. Until each side starts
calling out their own side, we will never make any progress.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You know. I don't know if it's the size of
the government and the budget and the ability to spread
trillions of dollars around. I think it probably is. At
some point the incentives to be bad crowd out the
incentives to be good. And I just I don't see
(09:03):
energy toward actual reform and straightening it out and raining
in the budgets and the rest of it. I just
I don't see that. You know that you're looking for
green shoots, as they say in the commentary business, I'm
not seeing the green shoots. I don't think we can
govern ourselves anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, like, what's the example Trump did the other day
where he fired the one person and put in a
new person so they could go after who When he.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Talked about this last week or the week before whichever one, Oh, yeah,
they were refusing to prosecute somebody or other.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But anyway, you know the thing, And I like if
Josh Holly would say, and I don't think Donald Trump
should have gone after whoever it was and Democrats, And
then if you had one Democratic senator who would say,
it's outrageous that the Biden Justice Department was spying on
Republican senators. But that will never get anywhere until you
(10:01):
until somebody can ever do that.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and even if both sides are right, It just
it sounds like noise to most people who observe it
because they don't spend all day thinking about this stuff,
and they shouldn't. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just discouraged.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It is discouraging. Well, you're right, we can't govern ourselves.
We no longer can govern ourselves. Good night, good night.
I don't know I see how we break out.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Duty and patriotism up against greed and lust for power.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I don't know how you break out of this, because
anybody who called out their own side in an effort
to call out both sides would get primaried and lose
immediately next election.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Monarchy, now, that's all. When Prince William gets the helm
over there in Great Britain, why don't we say, hey,
look the whole seventeen seventy six thing. We feel bad
about it. We're wondering whether or not being part of
Britain would be a giant step in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So wise and benevolent king, that's all we need. You
have more of that polling on how progressives are crazier
than because I want to hear I want to talk
about that more. Okay, because I have a comment on
that that's just right.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, just so much commenting. Right, it's a talk show.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's on my W two.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's what I gotta do. And I want to get
to the big time solid media editorial talking about how
stupid it is that all the mainstream media is referring
to the guy who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh as
a woman. It's a dude, it's a dude. And finally,
mainstream publications, well the Wall Street Journal anyway, you're saying, look,
he's a man. Can we stop this place?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
How recently did he decide he was a Woman's pretty recently, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But it got him a much much lighter prison sentence
because the Biden appointee judge said, ah, that's so tough
what you're going through. I don't want to put you
in a men's prison for a long time. I'll give
you lights. Did you do that if you got pulled over? Sure?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Hey, you know what. I was just driving to work
and I decided I think I'm on and as little confusing.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And you're prosecuting me because I'm transgender, and my parents
are mean to me because they don't accept it. So
don't give me a ticket and the trooper says, I
see your point. Drivet carefully, Okay, we got a lot
on the way.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Stay here, Hi, good night everybody.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounding the alarm, saying, as air
traffic controllers worry about when they'll next get paid, the
department is now seeing a slight uptick in sick calls
around the country. President Trump implying negotiations are underway, but
Schumer denying any talks, saying Trump's claim isn't true, but
if he's finally ready to work with Democrats, we'll be
(12:44):
at the table.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So air traffic controllers are calling in sick or saying
they won't go to work because they're not getting paid.
And evening newscast I watched last night it was some
air traffic controllers saying, how am I going to make
my mortgage? Nobody's missed a dime of payment yet were
full week away from anybody missing a paycheck. So this
(13:07):
is some sort of political gambit. Oh yeah, yeah, for no,
absolutely So the reason this we started talking about this
poll last hour has listened to a couple of people
talking about the online dating world and how common it
is for people to have in their profiles, no magas,
(13:28):
but they've never come across a single person who said
nobody who voted for Kamala Harris. Like it's common to
say I will not date anybody who voted for Trump,
but unheard of, at least according to them, for anyone
to say I will not date someone that voted for
Kamala Harris. And that doesn't really surprise me, I guess.
(13:49):
And then we got this poll to back it up. Yeah,
I've been looking through a couple of different polls. More
than seventy percent of single Democrats so they would not
date someone who voted for Trump, according to a twenty
twenty poll. And then you've got a pully got a
lot of attention Harris poll.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I think it was that three times as many Democrats
had ended friendships as Republicans over politics. Young people much
more often than older people, who think that's ludicrous, but wow,
And a lot of it's tied to they are who
(14:28):
they are is their politics, and they see all politics
is an important moral decision.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Not just a policy difference.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, practical application of various policies by a government that
really ought to stay the hell out of our lives. No,
they associate the politics so closely with who they are.
Anybody who rejects their politics is insulting them and hurting
them personally. Conservatives feel that way a lot less.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That rings true with a couple of examples I'm thinking
of in my head. People actually know that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, they.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Feel like you're not just wrong about the policy, you
are evil and you're judging them as Yeah, that's interesting. Hmm.
Do you have any idea why that is? People on
the left tend to be more emotional.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah, and just there's this strain of thinking that
you know, generally speaking, conservatives think progressives are wrong, Progressives
think conservatives are evil, and I will gladly be friends
with somebody I think is wrong about something. All my
friends are wrong about something. I'm wrong about something, but
(15:44):
I'm not going to be friends with somebody I view
as just clearly evil. True, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's hard for me to come up with an example,
but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Like if you were a hardcore.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Little kids who just who decide they're the different sex
ought to be whisked off to be operated on and
hide it from the parents, I don't think I'd probably
be friends with you, no as opposed. Do you believe
in a bigger safety net than I do?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, that's that's way beyond the pale, and that's you know,
that's a great example of how the radical like nobody
was with them left became the mainstream during the madness
that period of COVID and everything elsewhere you weren't allowed
to say somebody with a penis and testicles was a man,
and you weren't allowed to say all lives matter, and
(16:39):
you weren't allowed to say no. I think a gay
adolescent boy ought to not get operations to turn him,
to turn himself into an imitation of a woman. I
think that's sick.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Can you out there do the online dating thing? Do
you see that?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No maga or no?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Do you ever see no Kamala nobody who voted for
Kamala or anything like that on anything. I'm just curious
text line four, one, five, two, ninetc.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, you're much much less likely to see the Kammal
thing just because conservatives don't care that much.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Right, it's not so much of your identity, I think.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Right, Yeah, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
There's certainly some military lawyers inside the Pentagon who including
international law experts, who have raised concerns about the legality
of these strikes construct boats of the Caribbean. We've even
from multiple who said they these strikes don't appear to
be legal. The problem here is that Pentagon lawyers can't
overrule the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. That's really
the pre eminent legal interpretation for the executive branch, and
(17:36):
where many sources told us that lawyers inside the Pentagon
are effectively.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Resigned to put their head down and eat it.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
One put it that way, basically say that they could
go along with it, not to rock the boat because
ultimately they know they can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But I'm interesting to see when we get a final
ruling on the weather or not we can blast people
out of the sea because we think the drug runners
and we're at war with them because they're a terrorist orgation, Yeah,
narco terrorists.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, that will be determined.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
So, uh, before we get to our main thing, we're
on the topic of I don't know, polarization and all
that different sort of stuff, and then the idea that
there's a lot of people apparently in online dating you
have no MAGA. But I wonder does anybody ever say no, Kamala,
somebody texted the common not as common, but what you
see is no vas, So you won't date somebody got vaccinated?
(18:29):
But I don't know does that I guess it's tied
into politics. Yeah, what that is?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I don't know that that.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That to me is crazy too, to not date somebody
because they got vaccinated. Yeah, I think that is crazy, Karamba.
I mean, if you're a you get the new vaccination
every month. Still weren't a mask person like you mentioned
earlier that that makes you a nut? But you ever
got a vaccination?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
No, that's fine, right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
A couple of texts I did online dating after I
got divorced.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm over the age of fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The first person to contact me about three messages in
before they started. I was only three messages in before
they started to ask me about what my thoughts on Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Although I did not vote for Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I told them I didn't think we would be a
good fit just because politics matters so much to you.
She proceeded to start texting me about how I was
a Nazi, just kept going.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
For not wanting to talk about politics.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, and then I want to get this one on
because this is a good text. This was us having
the conversation about Barry Weiss's Free Press organization getting bought
by Paramount and then she's going to be in charge
of news at CBS. And I was happy about that
because I think she's just trying to do honest journalism.
And I said, that's kind of what we're trying to do.
(19:56):
This person reacted, wa ha ha ha ha. You comparing
your product horror show to Berry Weiss and the Free Press.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Baha, guess that makes high.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Pitched, squawking, menopausal jackal and armstrong your lesbian wife.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Bah. That's an excellent bit. Enjoyed that. Hunter Thompson esked,
I don't know what's going on there. Oh that's great.
Oh yeah, you know what I said. I was going
to bring you more of the freak out quotes from
various people in the media over Barry Weiss, the female Jewish, lesbian,
(20:38):
center lefty person taking over CBS News and how that
was the end of the republic and the ushering and
fascism and the rest of it. It's just these people
are out of their minds. And if you're that whipped
up emotionally, I understand how they can back violence because
they're they're like shrieking, they're so upset about all of it. Well,
(21:01):
gassing is justified. I get it. If you're that beside
yourself over this minor you know, twist in American journalism, Yes,
you're probably going to commit an act of violence.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I don't think we've mentioned Gavin Newsome all week. Well
it's only Tuesday, but see on vacation.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
What the hell what's going on? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He said again over the weekend, I'm not sure there's
going to be an election after twenty six or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That sort of.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Talk is just not helping anyone.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, and because gave certain people believe that, right, they
don't understand that you're engaging in Twitter style hyperbole to
raise money and get people's attention and sell yourself as
the guy who's fighting against Trump. They actually believe that.
And if they actually believe that, I would say, you know,
given Jefferson's proclamation that the tree of liverty must be
(21:48):
watered with a blood of tyrants and patriots from time
to time, if you actually thought it was going to
be the end of our democracy, yeah, you'd be justified
in committing acts of violence. See that's the problem, Gavin.
But you don't care because you have no soul and
you have no principles. So laugh, I laughed. I might
(22:09):
as well lecture a goat as Gavin Newsom. So I
came across this yesterday that a Biden appointed judge had
a seven hour hearing and gave a long speech justifying
a shockingly low sentence for the twenty two year old
man who showed up to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
(22:31):
He was heavily, heavily armed with burglary tools and zip
ties and guns and ammunition and knives and all sorts
of stuff. And at one point the judge said she
was glad the crime had made his mom accept his
transgender identity. And I quote from the judge, you know,
more than an hour long speech just finding the light sentence,
(22:52):
Judge Boardman said, quote. Ms Rosky came out to herself
as transgender in twenty twenty. This is the man who
committed of the crime. Came out to herself as transgender
in twenty twenty, but kept it secret. Mis Roski's sister
came out as gay two years prior, but mis Roski
saw that their parents struggled to reconcile her sexuality with
their religious beliefs. I am heartened that this terrible infraction
(23:15):
has helped the Roski family accept their daughter for who
she is. His mother, Colleen told the judge on Friday
that quote, I have attended p flag meetings and learned
about the LGBTQ plus community. I am committed to going
on this journey with Sophie. She was frustrated with what
was going on in the world, and we weren't a
safe place to process it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, this leads me to believe that the lighter sentence
was about the transgender stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yes, partly because Trump has declared men will serve out
their full terms in men's prisons or whatever, and so
this judge thought, oh, no, this woman, because a twenty
two year old man who just says, yeah, now I'm
a girl is a woman in this judge's islence, but
it was too cruel to sentence him to a man's
(24:03):
prison for a long time. Well, or am I wrong?
Or note from this journalist. As his mother wept, Nicholas
Roski also choked up his Adam's apple, bobbing up and down.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's a good detail. I may have gotten lost as
to which was the journalist and which was the judge.
But somebody in there thinks that you're somewhat excused for
wanting to kill a Supreme Court justice if you had
a difficult home life around your transgender situation. Correct, Yeah, yeah,
(24:35):
that's nuts to you. A pardon the expression, I will,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Earlier in the hearing, the judge lashed out at prosecutors
and President Donald Trump, saying, quote, let's not hide the
fact that President Trump issued an executive order saying transgender
inmates would be assigned to prison with their biological sex.
The prosecutor replied that there was an injunction holding up
much of the inform one of that executive order. But
the judge of pined about giving a shorter sentence because
(25:06):
of Rosky's transgenderism, even as she said that thanks to
a cord in junction, Rosky may get female hormones in
federal prison. Essentially, it's now a girl, and Trump is
cruel to put him her in a woman's prison, So
I'm going to give her a lighter sentence.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's crazy that people are in supportive putting someone with
a penis in a woman's prison.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes, to rape or do whatever else, and they're clearly
mentally disturbed, I mean by any reasonable definition.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I had another point on this with a prison
and Supreme Court justice.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And let me chuch you with this, and then you
jump in. So Matthew Hennessy in the opinion section of
Wall Street Journal wrote this piece It's called Kavanaughs would
be assassin as a man. One benefit of Donald Trump's
second presidency is the Americans can talk openly about the
trans delusion and what it's doing to our politics. In
the cultural atmosphere of a year or two ago, I
(26:02):
probably wouldn't say this. The person who is sentenced to
Friday ninety seven months in federal prison for attempting to
assassinate kevanah blah blah blah is a twenty nine year
old man. His name is Nicholas Rosky. Most of the
mainstream media and Judge Deborah L. Boardman of the Federal
District of Maryland decided to endorse the fiction that mister
Roski is now a woman named Sophie, and then he
(26:23):
quotes the judge. The Justice Department distinguished itself by refusing
to participate in this charade. In his statement on the sentence,
FBI Director Cash Mattel made a point of referring to
mister Roski's Nicholas, which is his legal name. For a decade,
trans advocates in their media allies and bullied ordinary people
into silence about biographical facts, biological reality exactly somebody else,
(26:49):
was it this guy or somebody else said that was
very clever.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Whoever came up dead naming to put the word dead
in there. I mean, how a you're doing is given
a different name, but you know it fits in with
that whole narrative of they'll kill themselves if you don't
buy into this dead name, right.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It sounds very dramatic. Well, and I love what he
writes when the federal Law Enforcement Apparatus says it's okay
to not lie. Justice has served. When people no longer
feel they might lose their jobs or reputations if they
misgender or dead name someone, we're back on the path
to sanity. And he says at one point, I can't
find it, but his sex is as much a question
(27:27):
of fact as his hometown and his age. You don't
get to declare what it is. It's a biological fact.
It's not a decision to be made or an opinion
to be held well, especially since.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
He was identifying as male at the time of the crime.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Right, yeah, yeah, although he'd come out to himself according
to the judge.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Okay, I'm not sure I know what that means. Uh,
that'd be a hard one to That'd be a hard
one to prove not true. If you can start announcing
when you came out to yourself, and yet it was
good enough for a federal judge, that's something.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And then picture of this being said anywhere but on
this show a year or two ago, handing your rights.
You'd have to be pretty out of touch or really
committed to the bit not to have noticed how trans
people a bit at the center of recent episodes of
political violence. Prosecutors have said that Charlie Kirk's alleged killer
was in a relationship with a biological man who is
transitioning genders. Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman born Robert, posted
(28:28):
a manifesto in which he claimed he was tired of
being trans. Police said Audrey Hale, who killed three children
and three adults at a Nashville, Tennessee school in March
twenty three, was transgender as journalists often say one examples
of fluke, two is a coincidence, three is a trend.
Four puts us well into trend territory. But the media
has been loathed to connect the dots. Well, how about
(28:49):
what journalistic investigations of the trend are dedicated to the
proposition that trans people are more often the victim of
crimes than perpetrators, so we probably shouldn't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Well, how do you get three or four of one
particular group when that particular group is like zo point
zero one percent of the population. I mean, the odds
of that are like astronomical.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah. Well, and I stand by my statement that quote
unquote transgender people are mentally disturbed, you know, a little
or a lot. I recently saw the statistics on sex
crimes being committed. The number out of one hundred thousand
people that commit sex crimes among women, it's vanishingly small,
(29:28):
Among men, it's troublingly large. Among transgender people, it dwarfs
men per capita. They're sexually confused people. And finally, Hennessy ends,
Perhaps experts in psychiatry and criminology will begin to exploring
the obvious but poorly understood connection connections among mental illness,
(29:49):
radical trans ideology, and the recent upsurge in political violence.
In the meantime, the Trump administration has done a public
service by refusing to bow before the liberal consensus that
people can change the sex. That has released the rest
of us from the obligation to play along. I never
felt that obligation, but I get it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Isn't that one of the issues that Democrat Rama Manuel
said the Democratic Party needs to Uh there was a
crazy one putting men in women's prisons.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, yeah, I think he mentioned sports too, but yeah,
and he's absolutely right. You know, Ram did an interview
with a lefty organization. I can't remember who it was,
but and he he knows when attack left because he
came off as a full on, you know, liberal politician.
So it's not like he's you know, nineties Bill Clinton
(30:40):
or anything, but he's he's better than the wok lunatics.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Okay, we will what that say? Okay, something about a
shark attack. I got distracted. We will finish strong next.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
What they're doing to the country is so incredible, and
they got away with it with all their woke crap,
and now it's stopped and we have a country that's
based on common sense and strength and intelligence.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
There you go woke crap and now it's stopped. Good,
Like Canadian Prime Minister is sitting there. Oh, hey, we're
still woke up here. We're still crazy.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're out of control.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
I guess I've got to sit here and take it
because we're just your hat. But we're still woke, you
know what I wish? Oh, and I forgot all about
the Canada be in our fifty first state thing. I
forgot all about that. Those were good times. President Trump's
been president for what nine months?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
In Greenland? What happened Greenland? Seems like many years. It's
been nine months.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Uh, I do not mind that I have no hair
on my head. It really is not something I ever
think about or or like about what would you call it?
Feel bad about it? Which wish I could change?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, insecurity, I have zero. I have zero insecurity about that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
And you've got a pleasingly you're very fortunate in that regard.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, I am lucky that I don't have like a
weird dent somewhere, But I do wish I could grow
a mustache. I was looking at a guy there's like
a musician up on the TV playing on the talk
the morning shows.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I've got the mustache.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I just really really really really really wish I could
grow mustache.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I would take that over hair on I at any day.
What style of mustaches do you imagine wearing?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I actually wish I had kind of the I mentioned
people that not everybody knows, like Timothy LeMay, like not
the really big but like I'm sad and Mussein mustache
just kind of a you know, it's not so wispy
that you look like a sophomore in high school trying
to grow mustache. Something in between there. I want like
a medium, That's what I would like. Can that so
(32:42):
I know? You can get hair transplants on your head?
Does anybody ever get their lip done, like transplants on
their lip that take like they take it from your
lower back and graft it onder your lip or something
like that. It's a hell of a for instance, I
don't I don't know that you would think so sure?
Speaker 10 (32:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah, yeah, what do you think Katie grafting upper lip
graft plugs, plugs, yeah, plugs on your lips? How come
I ever heard of that? Whatever?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Whatever, I'll make you happy, Jack.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Well, I'm single, so I got to think in that terms.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You know, I don't know if I see you about
the biker slash Paroli Fu manshue. What do you think
of that?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Full on biker fu manshoe. The other day, we were
walking by a guy who had a handlebar mustache, pretty
white one too, and my son said, I wanted to
say nice mustache, but I thought I would hurt his feelings.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And I said, no way.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
If you have a handlebar mustache, you do that wanting
people to look at you and comment on it.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
You're not like, Wow, don't mention my mustache. That's the
whole reason for doing it.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
By a thought.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
With your hosts Jack Armstrong and Joe Am I wrong
or right?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
If you got a handlebar mustache or blue spiked haear
or a mohawk or something like that, don't you want
people to comment on it? I mean, isn't that the
whole point? Anyway? Let's get some final thoughts. We'll start
with our technical director Michaelangelo. Michael, what's your final thought? Yeah,
the holidays are here.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
My neighbors are setting up Halloween inflatables. I walked inside
Costco that got the entire Christmas display up.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
My wife asked me, Chris Christmas.
Speaker 10 (34:28):
Yeah, everything, Christmas, trees, decoration, you name it, the lights, everything.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Wow, we're three weeks from Halloween. Let's get final thought
from a newsperson, Katie green Well. I have a buddy
named Jamie who's got a handlebar mustache that would put
Kurt Russell and toombs Sound to shame. And what does
he want people to comment on? I would assume so
everybody does. Yeah, of course a good mustache.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah that's cool, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
My final thought, my son this morning, by himself, cooked
bacon and eggs and he sent me a picture and
said it turned out really really good. It's a good
briand thirteen years old cooking his bacon and eggs. He's
very proud of himself. Armstrong in and Getty wrapping up
