Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and He arm Strong and Getty
so p Diddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Sean Combs is speaking in court for the first time
since this unpleasantness befell his life, and he is taking
full responsibility. He said, it's been the most difficult two
years of his life. What am I supposed to feel
sorry for you?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or yeah, we're not here because you got wrong, you'd dope.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's been the most difficult two years of your life.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I would hope that once you got caught raping women
beating them that, yeah, it got a little unpleasant and
will continue to be quite unpleasant, maybe for the next
several decades. Unless the next part of that sentence is
and I brought it all on myself by.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Doing evil, evil deeds, then shut up. Yeah that's even
been hard for me, your honor, I'm telling you, Oh,
it's been a rough couple of years. I'm crazy rich.
I'm used to people doing everything I ask, I mean
up to and including raping, beating, drugging people, that sort
of thing. So as you can imagine me being in
jail has been tray inconvenience.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
If I'm the judge and he says I take full responsibile,
I'd say, as opposed to what?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
As opposed to what?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What was your other option in saying, man, mister comes
if you were to take partial responsibility, how would that
be different from what's happening here right now? Explain to
me what that phrase even means. It would be fun
to be a judge.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I'm very judgment a snarky judge.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I really would like a TV judge show. The field
is a little crowded. Its just I feel like I'd
be good at it. So I'd lost track of this
like you probably have. The prosecution is seeking a one
hundred and thirty five month sentence twelve months in a year,
so that'd be ten years. Care's another fifteen months, okay,
so eleven years think about it, but that's a long
(02:11):
time in jail. We'll see how much time he actually gets.
If that comes down while we're on the air, we'll
let you know. But first, it's the Friday tradition. It's
time to take a found look back at the week
that was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Cows are good cows are neat.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
But this cow is inmatee of me.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's clips of the week.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes or
no to this deal here.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
This couldn't be done the easy way, or it could
be done the hard way.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I have a feeling that we're going to have a
positive answer.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So let's go to Oregon where Antifa radical left anarchists
are causing chaos in that city. We're under invasion from within,
no different than a foreign enemy.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
How about we all together and say let's stop murders.
How about we all come.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Together and say let's stop attacking pedophile.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re election campaign.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
What's to spirit? Today's show is brought to you by
Driveway wait Bench, where your adult son works out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We became the Woke Department, but not anymore.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We are done with that show.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It teaches you etiquette.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Got poor Barton shirt a phot It's the final town.
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans bolt. It's a disgusting video.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Man, just ignore.
Speaker 7 (03:59):
It and is it helpful post pictures of leader Jeff
Viesoni Mpero.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, I think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You should eat with the Italians and you should drink
with the artists. Tilly Norwood is an AI generated actress,
gaining attention and drawing Swift backlash.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The so I googled what the latest variant is. It's
called Life of a Showgirl. It's called Life of a
show Girl.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, Taylor Swift has formed a promotional tie in Imagine.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They they couldn't take God bless you but me. Oh
but I didn't catch COVID just there me have pack
some of it immediately.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
So, Taylor Swift's new album dropped, as they say, at
midnight last night.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I listened to a good chunk of it on the
way to work today.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's good for that sort of thing, but in getting
really great reviews from people review that kind of music.
But what's interesting is that in the modern world, Uh,
she won't make like us four cents off of the
all the listening today over the next twenty four hours,
over the weekend, she won't make like a dollar literally,
and uh, she'll make a billion dollars literally when she
(05:16):
tours on the album, but nothing off like a hugely,
hugely successful album because people don't.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Buy albums well, and she and their people her people rather,
I just changed her pronoun for uh are so good
at merch tie ins and commercial tie ins. I remember,
you know, and I'll bet a lot of you guys
do too. You good people. Back in the day when
we were young rock and roll fans, if the Rolling
(05:44):
Stones are the who toured brought to you by Budweiser,
everybody'd be like, oh man, you're selling out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You gone corporate? And now it's like, what are you
kidding me? No, it's sick. All I got to do
is put that damn low go up there, and my
tour is my costs are covered so we can make
some money. But we're all so precious then yeah, or
you know what, maybe maybe it was better in that. Look,
this is creative arts to us. We understand we have
(06:16):
to buy the album, but you got to at least
pretend that this is art as opposed to just pure commerce.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's only twelve songs, which I like when albums are
a link that you can like digest them, we get
twenty four songs or whatever. I'm never going to get
to all of them. But there were listening parties all
across the country, like bars that at midnight started playing
it in dances and stuff like that. There's like nobody
on earth that can pull that off anymore. No has
(06:47):
that kind of juice.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And if she says, Michael, who else has that kind
of juice? Cone? Cone, It's got the juice. Favorite clip.
I'm sorry, it's Friday. I'm out of give a damn,
fresh out of give a damn.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I hate that I've done that. I think you came
up with this idea because.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I got a lot of Like most most music I
listened to, these people are barely making it. Most of
the music I listened to they ain't making no money
because nobody makes any money off of streaming. And then
you tour small places getting eighty people to show up,
and so I've done what you suggested. You don't buy
a T shirt off their website or something to pay
(07:32):
for all the enjoyment I'm getting from Mike tickets and
merch from listening to their music.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yep, yep, that's good. So Colin McGregor's little clip that
reminded me. It's been trying me crazy. One of my
favorite old jokes about Europe, where already says we don't
have that isolated, do we, Michael One, some of the
things you had to do. You got to eat with
the Italians and drink with the Irish. It was the shit, yes, right,
And this has been trying me crazy because there's a
(07:59):
great old joke about Europe if you've if you're into Europe,
or you've been to Europe, but I can't remember how
it works. And I finally had chat GPT tell me,
and of course it did immediately after oddly saying ah yes,
I said, I said, what's the joke about in Heaven
the Brits or the police, et cetera. And chat GPT response,
ah yes. That's a classical joke that plays on national
(08:21):
stereotypes about different countries supposed strengths and weaknesses. It goes
something like this, all right, all right, all right, all right,
all right. First of all, thanks for telling me the joke,
because you got it exactly right, But did I really
need a two like notes of caution? Right, plays on
national stereotypes about different countries supposed or supposed strengths and weaknesses.
(08:48):
Are you sure you want to enjoy this joke. I
don't want to call you a bigot, but you've seemed
like a bigot. Chat GPT is telling me, do you
have the joke on this earth?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You should do.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You should eat with the Italians, and you should drink
with the Irish. Okay, here's the difference between heaven and Hell.
In Heaven, the police are British, the cooks are French,
the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian, and everything
is organized by the Swiss. In Hell, the police are German,
the cooks are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers
(09:25):
are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
That's funny that that holds up.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh it does it? So does Yeah, that's a great joke.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Culture is a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh yeah, of course it is. Culture's incredibly powerful. And
you know not to get overly serious. I know because
I always do. But the American educational establishment is trying
to convince you that your culture is nothing but ugly
and bad, but every other culture on earth is wonderful
and admirable. Come on, it sounded like Joe Biden. Right there,
(10:04):
come on, he did Actually I did. That was weird
and this is marlarky.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That should trouble you. It does trouble me.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Since this Friday? Do you want to hear the whole
corn kid clip?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, how long is it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's thirty seconds?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, we can do thirty second?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Right for me?
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I really like cone.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
What do you like about corn?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Ever, sends Iron. I was told that cone is real.
It tasted good.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Did you think corn wasn't real?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
And when I tried it with battle, everything changs. I
love cone. I mean, then look at this stand. I
can't imagine a more beautiful thing. It's cone.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
You described corn to someone who's never tasted it.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Before, a big lum lit knobs. It has to juice,
mister pot bussy makes me like the cone?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
How much do you think corn should cost?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Mandalo?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was around some kids the other day. It's just like, oh,
it made me long for when my kids were that age.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It was just so cute. Little kids are so flipping.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Cute and entertaining, and they're not evil and they're not evil,
and they're just they're just so in the moment of
just the enjoying what you're doing then, and it doesn't
have to be anything.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The fountain out front of the building here.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Every time there's kids out there, I think about when
my kids were out there, and they just enjoyed it
so much, just walking around in the smitt.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
See if they're going to fall in, and that sort
of stuff is just so entertaining for them.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Now they're teenagers and surly everything sucks. Oof no matter
what I bring up.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That sucks. That's stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
All right, Oh okay, we got more in the way. Stay here.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
President Trump declaring the US is in an armed conflict
with drug cartels. The words in a confidential memo sense
of Congressional Committee a president labeling smugglers unlawful combatants. The
memo following three deadly strikes last month against vessels the
White House claims were hauling drugs.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So I don't know if that was to get some
legal cover for what he has been doing because there's
been some pushback out there, or if he's planning to
go further and thought, maybe I better get some something
in writing to Congress since we're about to like really
unleash this thing.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't know, but that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's what it was, that memo, because both sides of
the isle are saying, hey, we're not entirely comfortable with this.
I mean you think he's planning to go more and further, Well, yeah,
I think so, or certainly continue as he's been. But
you know, if a guy is sitting at a desk
doing like the accounting for a cartels hotel that it owns,
(12:44):
can you take him out? Now, he's not directly bringing
drugs in, so I guess that is different.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But well, I like the example. I forget who brought
this up, but it's a pretty good the people in
the boat, are you a positive there ahead of the
United States where the drugs were? Were they headed to
lots of other places that they send drugs? And are
we allowed to kill those people?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah? Yeah, it's all a little questionable. And just beware
of granting too much the executive power to your guy
because the next guy I'll use it too. Yeah, probably
in a way that you hate. Anyway. A couple of
media notes very quickly, this is just dopey and almost funny.
But George snuffle up against he's interviewing Mike Johnson about
the government's shutdown, and he said, and I quote, the
(13:27):
Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from
losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher
healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? Yeah, snuffle up against,
asked and Johnson replied, that's an absurd statement, and then
he explained himself in a way that any adult can understand.
But again, that's just annoying and stupid. Nelly Bowle's writing
(13:50):
in the Free Press, and that's why I'm excited the
news that broke today that Barry Weiss is gonna be
the person in charge of news at CBS now and
I don't think she's gonna allow that sort of crap
to be.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
On CBS, I think right.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Indeed, speaking of the free press, and Nellie Bowl's writing
in the Free Press, and she was writing about the
response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, and this may be the
last time this comes up for a while anyway, but
she gives a bunch of examples of like the Guardian
who found a professor saying it was an unnerving spectacle
watching Charlie debate students, and that young debaters claim that
(14:26):
Kirk was there only to verbally beat his opponents, and
she writes, that's also known as a debate. But let's continue.
One student tells The Guardian that Kirk quote knew the
argument for nearly every conservative principle and even theological concepts,
and he spent years developing that ability. So he is
very great at pivoting and changing the conversation when it
was not going his way. And Nelly writes, in other words,
(14:47):
he was a man who was very good at debating
and prepared for his public appearances. Unnerving indeed, but again
kind of just amusing. But then she points out that
New York Times star writer M Gessen, who is a
transgender person of some sort, arguing that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin,
Tyler Robinson, is just like a man who killed a
(15:07):
Nazi one time. And I went to the original column
in the New York Times by this M. Guessing person,
and the tone of the column. It goes on for
quite some time about how it's so dangerous now for
transgender people and they're being hunted to extinction and everybody's
terrified and blah blah blah, and Trump's America is just
(15:29):
radical insisting on radical change. It's actually kind of funny
because it's the classic we institute radical change. Then when
you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, we don't
believe that you're accused of being the agent a radical change.
But anyway, he quotes somebody who had to leave Turkey
because they're being hunted down for being I'm not sure,
maybe transgender or something, and then he talked about how
(15:52):
frightened he and everyone is. Then he gets to the
part that Nelly was referencing. I've been thinking of historical
rather than fictional antecedents, in particular the assassination in nineteen
thirty eight of a Nazi diplomat in Paris by a
Polish German teenager. He goes on and on, I've been thinking
about it because it's an assassination, because like most public violence,
it was committed by a young man, and because it
(16:12):
was an act of despair. Then he goes into the
family's terrible treatment at the hands of the Nazis and
the rest of it. Staying with an uncle in Paris,
the young man was unable to help the family, he
decided to kill someone he saw his representation of the
force that was killing his loved ones. If the information
released by Utah investigators so far proves accurate, Tyler Robinson
(16:33):
might have felt a similar desperate fury. So he says,
because conservatives are rounding up transgender people and treating them
like Jews in the Holocaust, then this killing, like that killing,
is really justified, argued in the page's featured editorial in
(16:54):
the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow, and so you got that crazy side, and then
you've got the whatever you call the other side that
believes this kid is a patsy. And it was the
FBI working with Israel that took out Charlie kirk Man.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Unplug the Internet and the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We got some really good stuff on the way. Don't
have time to tell you about it. Trust us, it's good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Next Armstrong and Getty, kids, what just a quick tease.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
So there's a journal a conservative journalist in Portland who
claims he was beat up by Antifa and then.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He got arrested. So we'll try about right, try to
bring you that story coming up. Yeah, kids, Back in
the day, there were things called magazines that were like
websites that were printed on paper and then they would
be mailed to your home. People will read them. Time
magazine mattered at one point. Time dot com is a
news website struggling to survive. It is, like most news websites, progressive.
(17:52):
Here is your headline. Ice arrested a beloved school superintendent.
The community rallied behind him. To those who knew him,
Superintendent doctor Ian Roberts is an integral part of the
school community and a former Principle of the Year. But
to the Department of Homeland Security, he is a criminal
alien and a threat to public safety.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You know, I saw that retweeted by I won't even
say who. One of our good friends of the Armstrong
and Getty Show said, I guess this is making America
great again. Arresting principles.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Fifty four year old Roberts submerged following his dramatic arrest
by ICE on Friday morning. The case that's stun des Moines,
Iowa community, where he has worked for years. My god,
this man, this doctor, this principle of the year. Good lord.
That story was published five days ago. Here's a little
update for you.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
The former Des Moines Public School superintendent made his initial
appearance before a judge today on a criminal complaint charging
him with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms
in Roberts will remain detained in federal custody pending further proceedings.
They complained alleged that Roberts attempted to hide from Ice
officers who surveiled his residence and then followed his vehicle.
(19:08):
Roberts was found with the help of local law enforcement
and a canine near his abandoned vehicle. A glock firearm
found in the jeep below the driver's seat. The DOJ
says a search of roberts home has turned up three
additional firearms.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
He had a work visa that expired years ago and
had a final order of removal last year in May
from an immigration judge. That's last year well Biden was
in office. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Roberts, a native of Guyana, resigned from his position as
the Des Moines superintendent Tuesday after he was detained nearly
a week ago on allegations he was in the country illegally.
School district officials say two years ago, Roberts claimed he
had a doctorate from Morgan State University, but they say
records showed he never obtained it. Despite the discrepancy, the
district that still hired him now MIT saying Roberts claim
(19:59):
he would an NBA student. There is also false and
George Washington University saying the Principle of the Year award
Roberts boasted he received does not exist. In a statement
a Des Moines school board saying they are a victim
of deception.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Well as a former gold medal long jumper, I find
that appalling.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So you thank you for your comment. Doctor. So you
get caught lying about your PhD, and they say, ah,
you know, we all exaggerate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You can be principal.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
It's little resume fluffing.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We all do it.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That doesn't indicate that you're a nut job or all
kinds of a liar.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We'll just go ahead and overlook it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So the trusted, beloved member of the school community, which
may be true, was a fake, degreed non principle of
the year ordered to be deported, illegal alien under Biden
who carried around guns illegally.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, and even before you got to the line on
the resume stuff, I thought, Okay, well, some of.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You're upset with this, Well change the law, then the laws.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
What the law is?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
What other laws do we get to ignore? Is always
the question I have, do I get to choose what
laws to ignore since you're choosing some.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, final note from his attorney.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
But Robert's attorney asking the public to withhold judgment.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
This is a very complex case. Take it a step
at a time, Okay, will do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I wonder how many people lie like that about accomplishments
and don't get caught. We hear about the ones that
get caught, obviously, right, But is there are there a
great number of people that get away with it their
whole lives gotta be true with degrees? I mean, whoever
checks to see if you actually have a degree, doctor
(21:57):
or something?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Right? Right? Yeah? I think the wait, what moment though
for all of us was the Des Moines Board of
Education said they were aware of the discrepancies but hired him. Anyway,
that's going on there now? He is a blackfellow? Was
it a whole diased down with the DEI? There? Down
(22:21):
with the DEI? He was one of theirs, So they
went ahead and hired him. I mean because the other
and I'm not jumping to that just because he's a
black man, because there are plenty of people of various
shades who are neo Marxist lunatics. But how do you
explain going ahead and hiring him.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That's nuts discrepancy. I almost wish I had at various
points in my life just started slightly altering my college
career just for the fun of it, not to gain anything,
just right, and that I mined in French.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh he did, yeah, we or something?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, yeah, just and you can do all sorts of
stuff just to amuse yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I was a dual major art history bachelor's and that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Also I kept I kept getting hurt, so I didn't
play college baseball. How about Yeah, I kept getting hurt
and I never made it past double A in the
CUB system. But there were good times. I really enjoyed
it at the time. But anyway, I moved on in life.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I mean, unless you rise to real prominence, nobody ever
checks that stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Right, you know? The year I lived in Bavaria was
it changed who I am and the way I see
the world. I was in my fraternity and a sorority.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, well there you go.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well I thought I was trans, then I decided I wasn't,
so it was confusing for everyone. But anyway, here we.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Are going full PhD.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Though, that's ballsy, right, right, But then when the mind
discovered the discrepancy in his record, Oh, you have no degree.
You don't have either of those degrees actually, and the
principle of the year thing doesn't exist. When can you start.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, again, that's not an indication that there are other
things we should be concerned about your personality. I'm sure
that's the only thing you've ever done that's slightly weird
and things will be fine.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, And that's funny. I thought you were going to
say that to no indication we have to worry about
what else is going on the Des Moines Public school system?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh a good point?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, no kidding, that is something that's the obvious follow up?
Is any media outlet following up on that?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hey, by the way, something, once you figured it out,
how come you still hired him?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I was searching, desperately googling because of that. You know,
I'm using my MacBook here and all for any conservative
outlets writing about this journalism about this case. And I
had to fight and fight and fight to find anything
I had to ask for specifically, But even the Wall
Street Journal, which is frequently. You know, they got young
(25:05):
woke reporters on kind of the second level stuff. It
doesn't mention any of that stuff, any of it in
this article.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
That's another reason why I'm going to really going to
keep my eye on CBS going forward. Now that Barry
Weiss is going to be in charge of the new stuff,
is she going to work really hard to be what
will be quite an outlier among your big foot media
and trying to get stuff right and treating you know,
stories from all sides.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Is equally a big deal, right, Yeah, it'll be interesting
to watch.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Probably doesn't help hurt any that she's going to get
what one hundred and fifty million dollars as they obtain
substack or free pross.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I'll give you the Armstrong and Getty show for half that.
I'll even show up for I don't know a year.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Max, Well, we can talk about it.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
We'll hear from the journalists who beat down by Antifa
and then got arrested by the cops in Portland for
being beaten down. What is this the tallybaan public bleeding?
That's right, Wolf finished Strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
We did talk to Nick pretty much minutes after He
was released from jail this morning, so we asked him
what went down last night. What he told us is
he was out here filming protesters as they were getting
maced by federal agents, and he said it was a
little embarrassing for the protesters because they were shrieking and
crying about having the mace in their eyes, so they
didn't like being recorded. So they kind of chased them
(26:35):
down the street a little bit, then surrounded him and
pushed him down into a flower bed.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
He says.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
They then punched and assaulted him, and he tried.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
To defend himself.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Okay, so that's in Portland last night. You got a
conservative journalist being chased by Antifa. Here's the actual dude himself.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
So they threw multiple punches at me. They broke my
camera by hitting that. So I was on the ground
at that point. I tried to swing. I missed. I
saw the opportunity to get up and get away, and
that's when I went over to the police officers, which
I thought, you know, maybe they'd help me, but no,
instead they threw me in a handcuffs. This is going to
backfire on them tremendously.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It already is.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Okay, people knew that something out here stunk and that
it was corrupt, and at the police are they take
the side of the violent criminals that are here every
single day, assaulting ice officers, assaulting journalists. And then a
reporter comes and you know, tries to embed deep within
the chaos that's going in out here, and he's the
one that gets arrested.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
So you don't know what happened in that particular situation,
but if it went down the way it's described there,
that would fit in with a lot of other people's
versions of the story of the last one hundred days
where the police are not doing anything or have been
told not to do anything.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, Andy noj just posted on substack. I'm trying to
find it because another a young woman journalists got smashed
in the face with some sort of poll his as well.
No arrests there as far as I can tell.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, we'll keep our eye on that story. It's probably
not going to calm down over the weekend. So I
mentioned this new app that just came out called Sora.
It's from the Open Ai crowd chat GPT. It's a
social media app made by one of your AI companies.
Actually that company is now worth five hundred billion dollars.
(28:25):
It's the most valuable private company in the world.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Open Ai.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But they've got those their profits, right, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
A good question.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
There the new thing Sora. It's an AI only social
media platform. Every post, every video, every bit of audio
is all AI created. There's no humans and but I
wanted to check it out. It's still in its beta
phase or whatever. You have to have an invite code,
which you can only get from somebody who's already on
(28:56):
the platform. It's like, you know, you need to have
somebody in the cool club that can tell the bouncer, no,
he's okay, let me in.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Does somebody with the code? Could you text me five
one four eight.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
No, No, no, that's I was about to give. I
almost gave my social security number. Oh crazy, good lord? Wow,
how funny is that? What's wrong with my brain? I
almost gave up my social security number? No, our text line?
Text me the code? Hey, what's your mom's maiden name?
We're you know, while we're at.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It was the name of your first dog, Just just asking.
Text line is four one five something or other. I
don't remember what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Everyone's one, five, two nine five, KFTC.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
But so I'd ask for the code earlier and I
thought some people were helping me out. Here's the invitation code.
I've been on it for a while. I love it.
It's case sensitive though small G capital E capital T
small a capital l if E get a life.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It's spelled see people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I gotta admit I'm a little mystified by the premise.
It's a social media media platform with only AI generated everything.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, and it's by the most valuable private company AI
thing in the world, so it's probably pretty good. The
reviews of it are it's just spectacular. It's just all
AI posts spectacular at what just memes, funny video song
stuff like that. It's just all it's just showing it's
basically showing off what AI can do, and everybody's posting
(30:25):
their best stuff. Here's somebody else who said, yeah, I
got the code.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's Ei EI. Oh. You people aren't helping me. I
don't think you're taking me seriously. I believe you're being
I believe I'm being mocked.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Then somebody else said it code that's not funny, but
it doesn't work, So I mean it was it was
way too many numbers to fit into the thing.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
So you were also trolling me. Why why do you
gotta be like this.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I was trying to do a little research on something
and I can report back to you what I thought
of it. But no, see, I'm seeing if anybody emailed it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Get out Why.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We didn't get a number a text when I was
talking about AI, Like somebody said, is Jack getting paid
by some company to talk about AI?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Wise? He's so obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I don't understand how people aren't obsessed with it. First
of all, it's financially the money that's being made. The
point that was in the article as reading earlier. Oh yeah,
AI is going to change the world.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
It might not just be the way you think, and
that we might have one of the biggest financial crashes
we've ever had because this is all made up.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That's how AI might change the world.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, Walmart's CEO issues wake up call. AI is going
to change literally every job, he said a few days ago.
And remember old Vivek Erralmaswami. He's out with a plan
for all people sharing in the profits of AI, and
(31:47):
it'll be like a really healthy minimum basic income for
every man, woman, and child in America because there'll be
very little to do, so that's.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
A good thing.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
People won't need to work, and that's a good thing.
You people are nuts if you think that, you're just
you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
We can lay around all day and do drugs and
play video games. That's right, It'll be wonderful heaven on Earth.
I hope you said when I was gone doing important,
important things that couldn't wait, and you were talking to
Sandifer and Gottwals that they're both of the opinion that know,
like all technological advances before, AI will enhance productivity and
(32:26):
open up more jobs, just maybe a little different, But
I hope they're right.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, that's just one aspect of what doomers talk about.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Even if it doesn't crush employment, even if that's you know, fine,
it's just the it's it's gonna get wildly out of
control and do whatever it wants, and human beings will
not want, won't be able to stop it at that point.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Will only crush employment, connectedness, and creativity.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Hey, kids, it's that time again.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
To wrap things up for the day, Michaelangelo lead us
so off, would you.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Please, Jack?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We're getting a lot of text people are requesting your
home address, place, some birth and yourself right, So if
you wouldn't mind. I can't believe I gave out half
my social Security number roun. Now you only need to
guess the other half. You've stolen my identity. Well, maybe
you'll have more fun with that than I have. Katie
Green or esteemed muse woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'm trying to find these stray codes.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It looks like there's a few on Reddit if you
go into the Google search.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
On the thread. Why did I just ask Chad GPT
or Reddit or something?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, ask a young person, Grandpa, ask a young person.
SE's your final thought, Katie? All right, moving along to
Jack Jack final thought, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't like be controlled there. You gotta get mock
me like that. That's not a good way for me
to head off into the weekend being mocked. I feel
like I'm in high school. My final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Jane Goodall quote from her obituary in The New York
Times on the Scientific merits alone, her discoveries about how
wild chimpanzees raised their young, established leadership, socialized and communicated,
broke new ground, and attracted immense attention and respect among researcher.
Stephen J. Gould, the evolutionary biologist, set her work with
ch chimpanzees represents one of the Western world's greatest scientific
(34:18):
achievements period.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Wow, that's something and it was kind of accidental.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Lewis Leaky, the paleontologist, etc. Famously remarked, now we must
redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans based
on her discoveries.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Armstrong in Getty wrapping, I'm another grueling for our workday.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
Armstrong and Getty dot com. A lot of great clicks there.
If you see something we ought to be talking about
over the weekends, send along mail bag at armstrong in
Geddy dot com. It's getting to be Christmas time. Get
some swag for your favorite AAG fan.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I'm going to peel a banana upside down in honor
of her passing. See him unday, God bless m.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I'm strong and Jetty show. If that's a hussysd
you try to get pee by trying some dough p
SD you get still, I get it, or I'll pay
you to try some d I got. That's good.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That's another.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
I thought
Speaker 5 (35:16):
I'm strong and
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and He arm Strong and Getty
so p Diddy.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Sean Combs is speaking in court for the first time
since this unpleasantness befell his life, and he is taking
full responsibility. He said, it's been the most difficult two
years of his life. What am I supposed to feel
sorry for you?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or yeah, we're not here because you got wrong, you'd dope.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's been the most difficult two years of your life.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I would hope that once you got caught raping women
beating them that, yeah, it got a little unpleasant and
will continue to be quite unpleasant, maybe for the next
several decades. Unless the next part of that sentence is
and I brought it all on myself by.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Doing evil, evil deeds, then shut up. Yeah that's even
been hard for me, your honor, I'm telling you, Oh,
it's been a rough couple of years. I'm crazy rich.
I'm used to people doing everything I ask, I mean
up to and including raping, beating, drugging people, that sort
of thing. So as you can imagine me being in
jail has been tray inconvenience.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
If I'm the judge and he says I take full responsibile,
I'd say, as opposed to what?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
As opposed to what?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What was your other option in saying, man, mister comes
if you were to take partial responsibility, how would that
be different from what's happening here right now? Explain to
me what that phrase even means. It would be fun
to be a judge.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I'm very judgment a snarky judge.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I really would like a TV judge show. The field
is a little crowded. Its just I feel like I'd
be good at it. So I'd lost track of this
like you probably have. The prosecution is seeking a one
hundred and thirty five month sentence twelve months in a year,
so that'd be ten years. Care's another fifteen months, okay,
so eleven years think about it, but that's a long
(02:11):
time in jail. We'll see how much time he actually gets.
If that comes down while we're on the air, we'll
let you know. But first, it's the Friday tradition. It's
time to take a found look back at the week
that was. It's cow clips of the week.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Cows are good cows are neat.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
But this cow is inmatee of me.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's clips of the week.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes or
no to this deal here.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
This couldn't be done the easy way, or it could
be done the hard way.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I have a feeling that we're going to have a
positive answer.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So let's go to Oregon where Antifa radical left anarchists
are causing chaos in that city. We're under invasion from within,
no different than a foreign enemy.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
How about we all together and say let's stop murders.
How about we all come.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Together and say let's stop attacking pedophile.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re election campaign.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
What's to spirit? Today's show is brought to you by
Driveway wait Bench, where your adult son works out.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We became the Woke Department, but not anymore.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We are done with that show.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It teaches you etiquette.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Got poor Barton shirt a phot It's the final town.
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans bolt. It's a disgusting video.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Man, just ignore.
Speaker 7 (03:59):
It and is it helpful post pictures of leader Jeff
Viesoni Mpero.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, I think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
You should eat with the Italians and you should drink
with the artists. Tilly Norwood is an AI generated actress,
gaining attention and drawing Swift backlash.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
The so I googled what the latest variant is. It's
called Life of a Showgirl. It's called Life of a
show Girl.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, Taylor Swift has formed a promotional tie in Imagine.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They they couldn't take God bless you but me. Oh
but I didn't catch COVID just there me have pack
some of it immediately.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
So, Taylor Swift's new album dropped, as they say, at
midnight last night.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I listened to a good chunk of it on the
way to work today.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
It's good for that sort of thing, but in getting
really great reviews from people review that kind of music.
But what's interesting is that in the modern world, Uh,
she won't make like us four cents off of the
all the listening today over the next twenty four hours,
over the weekend, she won't make like a dollar literally,
and uh, she'll make a billion dollars literally when she
(05:16):
tours on the album, but nothing off like a hugely,
hugely successful album because people don't.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Buy albums well, and she and their people her people rather,
I just changed her pronoun for uh are so good
at merch tie ins and commercial tie ins. I remember,
you know, and I'll bet a lot of you guys
do too. You good people. Back in the day when
we were young rock and roll fans, if the Rolling
(05:44):
Stones are the who toured brought to you by Budweiser,
everybody'd be like, oh man, you're selling out.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
You gone corporate? And now it's like, what are you
kidding me? No, it's sick. All I got to do
is put that damn low go up there, and my
tour is my costs are covered so we can make
some money. But we're all so precious then yeah, or
you know what, maybe maybe it was better in that. Look,
this is creative arts to us. We understand we have
(06:16):
to buy the album, but you got to at least
pretend that this is art as opposed to just pure commerce.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It's only twelve songs, which I like when albums are
a link that you can like digest them, we get
twenty four songs or whatever. I'm never going to get
to all of them. But there were listening parties all
across the country, like bars that at midnight started playing
it in dances and stuff like that. There's like nobody
on earth that can pull that off anymore. No has
(06:47):
that kind of juice.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And if she says, Michael, who else has that kind
of juice? Cone? Cone, It's got the juice. Favorite clip.
I'm sorry, it's Friday. I'm out of give a damn,
fresh out of give a damn.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I hate that I've done that. I think you came
up with this idea because.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I got a lot of Like most most music I
listened to, these people are barely making it. Most of
the music I listened to they ain't making no money
because nobody makes any money off of streaming. And then
you tour small places getting eighty people to show up,
and so I've done what you suggested. You don't buy
a T shirt off their website or something to pay
(07:32):
for all the enjoyment I'm getting from Mike tickets and
merch from listening to their music.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yep, yep, that's good. So Colin McGregor's little clip that
reminded me. It's been trying me crazy. One of my
favorite old jokes about Europe, where already says we don't
have that isolated, do we, Michael One, some of the
things you had to do. You got to eat with
the Italians and drink with the Irish. It was the shit, yes, right,
And this has been trying me crazy because there's a
(07:59):
great old joke about Europe if you've if you're into Europe,
or you've been to Europe, but I can't remember how
it works. And I finally had chat GPT tell me,
and of course it did immediately after oddly saying ah yes,
I said, I said, what's the joke about in Heaven
the Brits or the police, et cetera. And chat GPT response,
ah yes. That's a classical joke that plays on national
(08:21):
stereotypes about different countries supposed strengths and weaknesses. It goes
something like this, all right, all right, all right, all right,
all right. First of all, thanks for telling me the joke,
because you got it exactly right, But did I really
need a two like notes of caution? Right, plays on
national stereotypes about different countries supposed or supposed strengths and weaknesses.
(08:48):
Are you sure you want to enjoy this joke. I
don't want to call you a bigot, but you've seemed
like a bigot. Chat GPT is telling me, do you
have the joke on this earth?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You should do.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You should eat with the Italians, and you should drink
with the Irish. Okay, here's the difference between heaven and Hell.
In Heaven, the police are British, the cooks are French,
the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian, and everything
is organized by the Swiss. In Hell, the police are German,
the cooks are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers
(09:25):
are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
That's funny that that holds up.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh it does it? So does Yeah, that's a great joke.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Culture is a thing.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh yeah, of course it is. Culture's incredibly powerful. And
you know not to get overly serious. I know because
I always do. But the American educational establishment is trying
to convince you that your culture is nothing but ugly
and bad, but every other culture on earth is wonderful
and admirable. Come on, it sounded like Joe Biden. Right there,
(10:04):
come on, he did Actually I did. That was weird
and this is marlarky.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That should trouble you. It does trouble me.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Since this Friday? Do you want to hear the whole
corn kid clip?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, how long is it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's thirty seconds?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, we can do thirty second?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Right for me?
Speaker 8 (10:25):
I really like cone.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
What do you like about corn?
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Ever, sends Iron. I was told that cone is real.
It tasted good.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Did you think corn wasn't real?
Speaker 8 (10:35):
And when I tried it with battle, everything changs. I
love cone. I mean, then look at this stand. I
can't imagine a more beautiful thing. It's cone.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
You described corn to someone who's never tasted it.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
Before, a big lum lit knobs. It has to juice,
mister pot bussy makes me like the cone?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
How much do you think corn should cost?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Mandalo?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was around some kids the other day. It's just like, oh,
it made me long for when my kids were that age.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It was just so cute. Little kids are so flipping.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Cute and entertaining, and they're not evil and they're not evil,
and they're just they're just so in the moment of
just the enjoying what you're doing then, and it doesn't
have to be anything.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
The fountain out front of the building here.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Every time there's kids out there, I think about when
my kids were out there, and they just enjoyed it
so much, just walking around in the smitt.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
See if they're going to fall in, and that sort
of stuff is just so entertaining for them.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Now they're teenagers and surly everything sucks. Oof no matter
what I bring up.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That sucks. That's stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
All right, Oh okay, we got more in the way. Stay here.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
President Trump declaring the US is in an armed conflict
with drug cartels. The words in a confidential memo sense
of Congressional Committee a president labeling smugglers unlawful combatants. The
memo following three deadly strikes last month against vessels the
White House claims were hauling drugs.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So I don't know if that was to get some
legal cover for what he has been doing because there's
been some pushback out there, or if he's planning to
go further and thought, maybe I better get some something
in writing to Congress since we're about to like really
unleash this thing.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't know, but that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's what it was, that memo, because both sides of
the isle are saying, hey, we're not entirely comfortable with this.
I mean you think he's planning to go more and further, Well, yeah,
I think so, or certainly continue as he's been. But
you know, if a guy is sitting at a desk
doing like the accounting for a cartels hotel that it owns,
(12:44):
can you take him out? Now, he's not directly bringing
drugs in, so I guess that is different.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
But well, I like the example. I forget who brought
this up, but it's a pretty good the people in
the boat, are you a positive there ahead of the
United States where the drugs were? Were they headed to
lots of other places that they send drugs? And are
we allowed to kill those people?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah? Yeah, it's all a little questionable. And just beware
of granting too much the executive power to your guy
because the next guy I'll use it too. Yeah, probably
in a way that you hate. Anyway. A couple of
media notes very quickly, this is just dopey and almost funny.
But George snuffle up against he's interviewing Mike Johnson about
the government's shutdown, and he said, and I quote, the
(13:27):
Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from
losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher
healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? Yeah, snuffle up against,
asked and Johnson replied, that's an absurd statement, and then
he explained himself in a way that any adult can understand.
But again, that's just annoying and stupid. Nelly Bowle's writing
(13:50):
in the Free Press, and that's why I'm excited the
news that broke today that Barry Weiss is gonna be
the person in charge of news at CBS now and
I don't think she's gonna allow that sort of crap
to be.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
On CBS, I think right.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Indeed, speaking of the free press, and Nellie Bowl's writing
in the Free Press, and she was writing about the
response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, and this may be the
last time this comes up for a while anyway, but
she gives a bunch of examples of like the Guardian
who found a professor saying it was an unnerving spectacle
watching Charlie debate students, and that young debaters claim that
(14:26):
Kirk was there only to verbally beat his opponents, and
she writes, that's also known as a debate. But let's continue.
One student tells The Guardian that Kirk quote knew the
argument for nearly every conservative principle and even theological concepts,
and he spent years developing that ability. So he is
very great at pivoting and changing the conversation when it
was not going his way. And Nelly writes, in other words,
(14:47):
he was a man who was very good at debating
and prepared for his public appearances. Unnerving indeed, but again
kind of just amusing. But then she points out that
New York Times star writer M Gessen, who is a
transgender person of some sort, arguing that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin,
Tyler Robinson, is just like a man who killed a
(15:07):
Nazi one time. And I went to the original column
in the New York Times by this M. Guessing person,
and the tone of the column. It goes on for
quite some time about how it's so dangerous now for
transgender people and they're being hunted to extinction and everybody's
terrified and blah blah blah, and Trump's America is just
(15:29):
radical insisting on radical change. It's actually kind of funny
because it's the classic we institute radical change. Then when
you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, we don't
believe that you're accused of being the agent a radical change.
But anyway, he quotes somebody who had to leave Turkey
because they're being hunted down for being I'm not sure,
maybe transgender or something, and then he talked about how
(15:52):
frightened he and everyone is. Then he gets to the
part that Nelly was referencing. I've been thinking of historical
rather than fictional antecedents, in particular the assassination in nineteen
thirty eight of a Nazi diplomat in Paris by a
Polish German teenager. He goes on and on, I've been thinking
about it because it's an assassination, because like most public violence,
it was committed by a young man, and because it
(16:12):
was an act of despair. Then he goes into the
family's terrible treatment at the hands of the Nazis and
the rest of it. Staying with an uncle in Paris,
the young man was unable to help the family, he
decided to kill someone he saw his representation of the
force that was killing his loved ones. If the information
released by Utah investigators so far proves accurate, Tyler Robinson
(16:33):
might have felt a similar desperate fury. So he says,
because conservatives are rounding up transgender people and treating them
like Jews in the Holocaust, then this killing, like that killing,
is really justified, argued in the page's featured editorial in
(16:54):
the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Wow, and so you got that crazy side, and then
you've got the whatever you call the other side that
believes this kid is a patsy. And it was the
FBI working with Israel that took out Charlie kirk Man.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Unplug the Internet and the New York Times.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We got some really good stuff on the way. Don't
have time to tell you about it. Trust us, it's good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Next Armstrong and Getty, kids, what just a quick tease.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
So there's a journal a conservative journalist in Portland who
claims he was beat up by Antifa and then.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He got arrested. So we'll try about right, try to
bring you that story coming up. Yeah, kids, Back in
the day, there were things called magazines that were like
websites that were printed on paper and then they would
be mailed to your home. People will read them. Time
magazine mattered at one point. Time dot com is a
news website struggling to survive. It is, like most news websites, progressive.
(17:52):
Here is your headline. Ice arrested a beloved school superintendent.
The community rallied behind him. To those who knew him,
Superintendent doctor Ian Roberts is an integral part of the
school community and a former Principle of the Year. But
to the Department of Homeland Security, he is a criminal
alien and a threat to public safety.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You know, I saw that retweeted by I won't even
say who. One of our good friends of the Armstrong
and Getty Show said, I guess this is making America
great again. Arresting principles.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Fifty four year old Roberts submerged following his dramatic arrest
by ICE on Friday morning. The case that's stun des Moines,
Iowa community, where he has worked for years. My god,
this man, this doctor, this principle of the year. Good lord.
That story was published five days ago. Here's a little
update for you.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
The former Des Moines Public School superintendent made his initial
appearance before a judge today on a criminal complaint charging
him with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms
in Roberts will remain detained in federal custody pending further proceedings.
They complained alleged that Roberts attempted to hide from Ice
officers who surveiled his residence and then followed his vehicle.
(19:08):
Roberts was found with the help of local law enforcement
and a canine near his abandoned vehicle. A glock firearm
found in the jeep below the driver's seat. The DOJ
says a search of roberts home has turned up three
additional firearms.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
He had a work visa that expired years ago and
had a final order of removal last year in May
from an immigration judge. That's last year well Biden was
in office. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Roberts, a native of Guyana, resigned from his position as
the Des Moines superintendent Tuesday after he was detained nearly
a week ago on allegations he was in the country illegally.
School district officials say two years ago, Roberts claimed he
had a doctorate from Morgan State University, but they say
records showed he never obtained it. Despite the discrepancy, the
district that still hired him now MIT saying Roberts claim
(19:59):
he would an NBA student. There is also false and
George Washington University saying the Principle of the Year award
Roberts boasted he received does not exist. In a statement
a Des Moines school board saying they are a victim
of deception.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Well as a former gold medal long jumper, I find
that appalling.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So you thank you for your comment. Doctor. So you
get caught lying about your PhD, and they say, ah,
you know, we all exaggerate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You can be principal.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
It's little resume fluffing.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We all do it.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That doesn't indicate that you're a nut job or all
kinds of a liar.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
We'll just go ahead and overlook it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So the trusted, beloved member of the school community, which
may be true, was a fake, degreed non principle of
the year ordered to be deported, illegal alien under Biden
who carried around guns illegally.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, and even before you got to the line on
the resume stuff, I thought, Okay, well, some of.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You're upset with this, Well change the law, then the laws.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
What the law is?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
What other laws do we get to ignore? Is always
the question I have, do I get to choose what
laws to ignore since you're choosing some.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, final note from his attorney.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
But Robert's attorney asking the public to withhold judgment.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
This is a very complex case. Take it a step
at a time, Okay, will do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I wonder how many people lie like that about accomplishments
and don't get caught. We hear about the ones that
get caught, obviously, right, But is there are there a
great number of people that get away with it their
whole lives gotta be true with degrees? I mean, whoever
checks to see if you actually have a degree, doctor
(21:57):
or something?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Right? Right? Yeah? I think the wait, what moment though
for all of us was the Des Moines Board of
Education said they were aware of the discrepancies but hired him. Anyway,
that's going on there now? He is a blackfellow? Was
it a whole diased down with the DEI? There? Down
(22:21):
with the DEI? He was one of theirs, So they
went ahead and hired him. I mean because the other
and I'm not jumping to that just because he's a
black man, because there are plenty of people of various
shades who are neo Marxist lunatics. But how do you
explain going ahead and hiring him.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That's nuts discrepancy. I almost wish I had at various
points in my life just started slightly altering my college
career just for the fun of it, not to gain anything,
just right, and that I mined in French.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh he did, yeah, we or something?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, yeah, just and you can do all sorts of
stuff just to amuse yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I was a dual major art history bachelor's and that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Also I kept I kept getting hurt, so I didn't
play college baseball. How about Yeah, I kept getting hurt
and I never made it past double A in the
CUB system. But there were good times. I really enjoyed
it at the time. But anyway, I moved on in life.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I mean, unless you rise to real prominence, nobody ever
checks that stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Right, you know? The year I lived in Bavaria was
it changed who I am and the way I see
the world. I was in my fraternity and a sorority.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, well there you go.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well I thought I was trans, then I decided I wasn't,
so it was confusing for everyone. But anyway, here we.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Are going full PhD.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Though, that's ballsy, right, right, But then when the mind
discovered the discrepancy in his record, Oh, you have no degree.
You don't have either of those degrees actually, and the
principle of the year thing doesn't exist. When can you start.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, again, that's not an indication that there are other
things we should be concerned about your personality. I'm sure
that's the only thing you've ever done that's slightly weird
and things will be fine.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Well, And that's funny. I thought you were going to
say that to no indication we have to worry about
what else is going on the Des Moines Public school system?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh a good point?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, no kidding, that is something that's the obvious follow up?
Is any media outlet following up on that?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hey, by the way, something, once you figured it out,
how come you still hired him?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I was searching, desperately googling because of that. You know,
I'm using my MacBook here and all for any conservative
outlets writing about this journalism about this case. And I
had to fight and fight and fight to find anything
I had to ask for specifically, But even the Wall
Street Journal, which is frequently. You know, they got young
(25:05):
woke reporters on kind of the second level stuff. It
doesn't mention any of that stuff, any of it in
this article.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
That's another reason why I'm going to really going to
keep my eye on CBS going forward. Now that Barry
Weiss is going to be in charge of the new stuff,
is she going to work really hard to be what
will be quite an outlier among your big foot media
and trying to get stuff right and treating you know,
stories from all sides.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Is equally a big deal, right, Yeah, it'll be interesting
to watch.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Probably doesn't help hurt any that she's going to get
what one hundred and fifty million dollars as they obtain
substack or free pross.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I'll give you the Armstrong and Getty show for half that.
I'll even show up for I don't know a year.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Max, Well, we can talk about it.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
We'll hear from the journalists who beat down by Antifa
and then got arrested by the cops in Portland for
being beaten down. What is this the tallybaan public bleeding?
That's right, Wolf finished Strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
We did talk to Nick pretty much minutes after He
was released from jail this morning, so we asked him
what went down last night. What he told us is
he was out here filming protesters as they were getting
maced by federal agents, and he said it was a
little embarrassing for the protesters because they were shrieking and
crying about having the mace in their eyes, so they
didn't like being recorded. So they kind of chased them
(26:35):
down the street a little bit, then surrounded him and
pushed him down into a flower bed.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
He says.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
They then punched and assaulted him, and he tried.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
To defend himself.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Okay, so that's in Portland last night. You got a
conservative journalist being chased by Antifa. Here's the actual dude himself.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
So they threw multiple punches at me. They broke my
camera by hitting that. So I was on the ground
at that point. I tried to swing. I missed. I
saw the opportunity to get up and get away, and
that's when I went over to the police officers, which
I thought, you know, maybe they'd help me, but no,
instead they threw me in a handcuffs. This is going to
backfire on them tremendously.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It already is.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Okay, people knew that something out here stunk and that
it was corrupt, and at the police are they take
the side of the violent criminals that are here every
single day, assaulting ice officers, assaulting journalists. And then a
reporter comes and you know, tries to embed deep within
the chaos that's going in out here, and he's the
one that gets arrested.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
So you don't know what happened in that particular situation,
but if it went down the way it's described there,
that would fit in with a lot of other people's
versions of the story of the last one hundred days
where the police are not doing anything or have been
told not to do anything.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, Andy noj just posted on substack. I'm trying to
find it because another a young woman journalists got smashed
in the face with some sort of poll his as well.
No arrests there as far as I can tell.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, we'll keep our eye on that story. It's probably
not going to calm down over the weekend. So I
mentioned this new app that just came out called Sora.
It's from the Open Ai crowd chat GPT. It's a
social media app made by one of your AI companies.
Actually that company is now worth five hundred billion dollars.
(28:25):
It's the most valuable private company in the world.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Open Ai.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
But they've got those their profits, right, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
A good question.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
There the new thing Sora. It's an AI only social
media platform. Every post, every video, every bit of audio
is all AI created. There's no humans and but I
wanted to check it out. It's still in its beta
phase or whatever. You have to have an invite code,
which you can only get from somebody who's already on
(28:56):
the platform. It's like, you know, you need to have
somebody in the cool club that can tell the bouncer, no,
he's okay, let me in.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Does somebody with the code? Could you text me five
one four eight.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
No, No, no, that's I was about to give. I
almost gave my social security number. Oh crazy, good lord? Wow,
how funny is that? What's wrong with my brain? I
almost gave up my social security number? No, our text line?
Text me the code? Hey, what's your mom's maiden name?
We're you know, while we're at.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It was the name of your first dog, Just just asking.
Text line is four one five something or other. I
don't remember what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Everyone's one, five, two nine five, KFTC.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
But so I'd ask for the code earlier and I
thought some people were helping me out. Here's the invitation code.
I've been on it for a while. I love it.
It's case sensitive though small G capital E capital T
small a capital l if E get a life.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It's spelled see people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I gotta admit I'm a little mystified by the premise.
It's a social media media platform with only AI generated everything.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, and it's by the most valuable private company AI
thing in the world, so it's probably pretty good. The
reviews of it are it's just spectacular. It's just all
AI posts spectacular at what just memes, funny video song
stuff like that. It's just all it's just showing it's
basically showing off what AI can do, and everybody's posting
(30:25):
their best stuff. Here's somebody else who said, yeah, I
got the code.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's Ei EI. Oh. You people aren't helping me. I
don't think you're taking me seriously. I believe you're being
I believe I'm being mocked.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Then somebody else said it code that's not funny, but
it doesn't work, So I mean it was it was
way too many numbers to fit into the thing.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
So you were also trolling me. Why why do you
gotta be like this.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I was trying to do a little research on something
and I can report back to you what I thought
of it. But no, see, I'm seeing if anybody emailed it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Get out Why.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
We didn't get a number a text when I was
talking about AI, Like somebody said, is Jack getting paid
by some company to talk about AI?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Wise? He's so obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I don't understand how people aren't obsessed with it. First
of all, it's financially the money that's being made. The
point that was in the article as reading earlier. Oh yeah,
AI is going to change the world.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
It might not just be the way you think, and
that we might have one of the biggest financial crashes
we've ever had because this is all made up.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That's how AI might change the world.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, Walmart's CEO issues wake up call. AI is going
to change literally every job, he said a few days ago.
And remember old Vivek Erralmaswami. He's out with a plan
for all people sharing in the profits of AI, and
(31:47):
it'll be like a really healthy minimum basic income for
every man, woman, and child in America because there'll be
very little to do, so that's.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
A good thing.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
People won't need to work, and that's a good thing.
You people are nuts if you think that, you're just
you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
We can lay around all day and do drugs and
play video games. That's right, It'll be wonderful heaven on Earth.
I hope you said when I was gone doing important,
important things that couldn't wait, and you were talking to
Sandifer and Gottwals that they're both of the opinion that know,
like all technological advances before, AI will enhance productivity and
(32:26):
open up more jobs, just maybe a little different, But
I hope they're right.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, that's just one aspect of what doomers talk about.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Even if it doesn't crush employment, even if that's you know, fine,
it's just the it's it's gonna get wildly out of
control and do whatever it wants, and human beings will
not want, won't be able to stop it at that point.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Will only crush employment, connectedness, and creativity.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Hey, kids, it's that time again.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
To wrap things up for the day, Michaelangelo lead us
so off, would you.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Please, Jack?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We're getting a lot of text people are requesting your
home address, place, some birth and yourself right, So if
you wouldn't mind. I can't believe I gave out half
my social Security number roun. Now you only need to
guess the other half. You've stolen my identity. Well, maybe
you'll have more fun with that than I have. Katie
Green or esteemed muse woman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'm trying to find these stray codes.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It looks like there's a few on Reddit if you
go into the Google search.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
On the thread. Why did I just ask Chad GPT
or Reddit or something?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, ask a young person, Grandpa, ask a young person.
SE's your final thought, Katie? All right, moving along to
Jack Jack final thought, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I don't like be controlled there. You gotta get mock
me like that. That's not a good way for me
to head off into the weekend being mocked. I feel
like I'm in high school. My final thought.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Jane Goodall quote from her obituary in The New York
Times on the Scientific merits alone, her discoveries about how
wild chimpanzees raised their young, established leadership, socialized and communicated,
broke new ground, and attracted immense attention and respect among researcher.
Stephen J. Gould, the evolutionary biologist, set her work with
ch chimpanzees represents one of the Western world's greatest scientific
(34:18):
achievements period.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Wow, that's something and it was kind of accidental.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Lewis Leaky, the paleontologist, etc. Famously remarked, now we must
redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans based
on her discoveries.
Speaker 8 (34:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Armstrong in Getty wrapping, I'm another grueling for our workday.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
Armstrong and Getty dot com. A lot of great clicks there.
If you see something we ought to be talking about
over the weekends, send along mail bag at armstrong in
Geddy dot com. It's getting to be Christmas time. Get
some swag for your favorite AAG fan.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I'm going to peel a banana upside down in honor
of her passing. See him unday, God bless m.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I'm strong and Jetty show. If that's a hussysd
you try to get pee by trying some dough p
SD you get still, I get it, or I'll pay
you to try some d I got. That's good.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
That's another.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
