Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and now
he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's not a criminal.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's crime.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's not a crime.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, we're still gonna heave you out, all right, to
obey immigration law or leave.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's wack adoodle.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett America hating communist, and I'm not trying
to be funny.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think she's all of those things.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I thought I had found the miracle cure for my
sleep problems. Then the underbelly. We'll get to that coming
up a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh and speaking of similar things, fellas you attempted to do,
click on the website and get yourself some pro pichia.
I think it is for your hair loss, and don't
do it until you've listened to this hour of the
Armstrong Untgetti Show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Unless you want to be blind.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't think that's a factor here anyway. I was
gonna leave it mysterious and you ruined it. So what's
the current state of the Democratic Party somewhere between a
poop show and a dumpster firecrat would seem crap crap,
there you go, Ram Emmanuel.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
There.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Democrats are in deep, deep trouble, according to their own
internal polling. Politico's Elena schneider I was writing about the
Democratic numbers on Tuesday, quote, the Democratic Party's brand is
in rough shape in the congressional battlegrounds. Nearly two months
into the second Donald Trump administration, A majority of voters
in battleground house districts still believe Democrats in Congress quote
(01:50):
are more focused on helping other people than people like me.
According to an internal poll long Independence, just twenty seven
believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared with fifty
five percent. Friends, that's more than double who say they're
focused on the other people, not people like me.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, although when it comes to election time, you just
have to be the smartest horse or the tallest little person.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, yeah, with the Republican Party b by then well.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And will the Republican Party manage not to nominate jackasses?
Ironically elephant jackasses. Democrat polster Molly Murphy is quoted in
the Political Pieces saying while voters were somewhat critical of
Trump in some spots. The Democrats have serious damage to
fix with their own brand before voters trust them in
government again, said prominent democrat. The Democratic brand is still
(02:48):
not where it needs to be in terms of core
trust and understanding people's challenges. Other numbers in the poll
are even worse for Democrats. A majority fifty six percent
of those surveys said Democrats are not looking out for
work class people are not. Forty two percent say they
shared values with Democrats. Just thirty nine percent said Democrats
(03:08):
value work, and just forty four percent said Democrats even
respect work. Thirty nine percent said Democrats have the right
priorities as a party, So that's not great.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Don't respect work? Wow, you don't want that brand. Gosh.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And in a completely wildly unrelated story, hundreds of protesters,
many of them in drag, descended on the Kennedy Center
on Saturday as part of a rally in March for Drag.
Was the latest in a serious protests in response to
President Trump's ban on Kennedy Center drag productions, said drag
(03:45):
artist Tara Hoot. This president is demonizing a marginalized community
in order to control the arts in America.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's shameful, immoral and weak. Keep going with that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Good Luckily, all right, I'm looking at a picture of
this freak wow and f bomb. That's a nerve freak anyway.
And finally this the DNC has picked a new executive director.
Have you heard about this guy. He's a former Liz
Warren campaign manager. Now, this is the guy who's going
(04:17):
to bring the Democratic Party back from what I was
just describing and all those poll results. He's a longtime
staffer and failed campaign manager for a handful of people,
who not only lists his pronouns on his website, but
lists them in Mandarin Roger law. He touts his decades
(04:40):
long experience. There's a campaign manager for a bunch of losers.
But Loo embodies many of the same characteristics that define
the Democrats defeat in twenty four He said in October
that it was very cool when vice presidential candidate Tim
Walls live streamed one half of a Madden NFL video
game with AOC The final score was zero to zero
(05:01):
because they were so bad at it. In addition to
disclosing his Chinese pronouns on social media, a low made
far left identity politics a central focus of Warren's twenty
twenty presidential campaign. You noted in a campaign memo the
company invested more than seven hundred thousand dollars in radio,
print and mail advertisement to reach LATINX communities, et cetera,
(05:24):
et cetera. So they picked a far lefty to lead
them back from the brink of irrelevance that they're on.
Then finally this from Politico, and we saw this the
other day. I should have asked for all those videos
when everybody was reading from the same script saying here's
what you're gonna hear.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
S that isn't true. Do you have that?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Evidently, using foul language is the new strategy in the
Democratic Party. Jasmin Crockett, who we just heard from, telling
Elon Musk to f off. You got it, Michael, Yeah,
don't worry, it's not that important. Ken Martin, the new
chair of the DNC, to a more Midwestern approach. Go
(06:03):
to hell, he said later on X. Let's see Democrats
are cursing up a storm, said John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
GD It tell me who started that. It's kind of
a funny thing to say. Former DNC chair Tom Ferez
frequently deployed profanity in twenty seventeen, saying, for example, that
(06:23):
Trump doesn't give.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
An ass about healthcare. Okay, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So I have talked a little bit lately about how
much trouble I'm having sleeping, worst I've ever had in
my life. It's reuly a drag. I wake up at
like one two o'clock and then stay awake in It's
been horrible. So somebody suggested these various supplements that they
said really worked for them. So I ordered them on Amazon,
had them the next day and tried it for the
first time Monday night and Tuesday night, and had the
(06:50):
two best nights of sleep I've had. This is an AD.
By the way it sounds like an AD, it is
the opposite of an AD soon to be. I had
the two best nights of sleep I've had in years.
I slept all night long, Like I don't remember the
last time I went to sleep and didn't wake up
until the alarm went off.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
God, it's been years. It was so awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I thought, well, this is fantastic, this will change my life,
except for I'm so freaking groggy during the day, and
like today is even worse. Than I like, it's like
I'm swimming in soup trying to wake up, which you
know is no good. And so I was taking valerian
root and I don't know which one of these is
doing it. Are all three valerian root, magnesium, and something
(07:31):
that starts with an owl. I don't remember what is
leah fine or leah something.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like it wow, something that starts with an L.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I t how you know it's not an ad. I
don't even know the name of the thing. L if
you lion urine or licin aprill or. And last night
I had some sort of crazy dream that I tried
to wake myself out of and I was up out
of my bed at one point and it was like
I couldn't tell what was happening, and it's like I
was a drugged So then, well, and you were describing
trying to get ready for work this morning, found that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Ye yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. I was like,
do I have my keys? Okay? I got my keys?
Where are my glasses? Okay? Which car? I was just
this horrible, oh, even worse than that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Katie, who on my recommendation, tried some valarian route almost
died yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, I was sitting here for an hour with a
resting heart rate at one And how how do you
trace suspected the Valerian route. I messaged my doctor and
he asked me, what have you changed? And I mean,
what did you do anything differently because I am on
a bunch of different medications and stuff. And I said,
the only thing that I changed is I took Valerian
Route last night to try to, you know, sleep through
(08:38):
the night. And you went, well, there it is those
caused heart that causes heart palpitations.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And someday Katie and I do a huge line of
cocaine together before the show just to get up for it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But we do that every day. Yeah, so that didn't change, right.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I'm going to be accused of a classic pumping dump
here where I talk up Valarian root.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Wait till the stock goes up? Is there stock?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And then I shorted it somehow, and then I come
out and talk about how it gives you heart attacks
and you sleepwalk or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
But yeah, a longtime friend of the show, Mike the
lawyer in Chicago, said, yeah, I bought some on Jack's
recommendation and tossed it on katies because he was having
bizarro dreams that he couldn't wake up from.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Sucks, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And I've talked about sleeping before, and my doctor has
never recommended Valerian root or any of that sort of stuff.
And you know, some of your hippie types would say
that's because big Pharma only wants you to take the
stuff manufactured by whoever, and we are are are nationalism
won't allow us to use Eastern medicine.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They Chinese figured this out of years ago and shot
up and get our haircut. Youa damn hippies, all that
sort of stuff. And it turns out maybe there's I
don't know, I've learned. Somebody said their bottle of larian
roots says only use occasionally. Okay, maybe not supposed to
use it every day.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I just take the magnesium jack. That should be good.
You think, do you take magnesium? I've taken magnesium.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
See.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Now I have a friend who takes magnesium and he
said it gave him insane dreams.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh maybe it was a magnic.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
See.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I took all three of them last night, the magnesium,
the blurring root, and the thing that starts with an hell.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, we'll see, I don't know. I don't I don't
want to tell anybody how to live. But like I say,
I start my day with an enormous line of cocaine
and then I put myself to sleep with a profifall
like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So you know it's worked for me for a years. Yeah,
you have a doctor that comes by and starts an
ibeed drip.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Anyway, so I'm excited about this though. I thought this
could be life changing.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Damn it.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We don't have time to get into this thoroughly, but
next segment, I'll just pay this off quickly. Then we'll
move on to other fair stories about people getting the
hair loss drugs online without a visit to the doctor
and some of the eye defects. We're talking to hair
loss pills. Fellas, trust me when I say you want
(11:06):
to stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, trust me, love this, it's on the way, Stay here.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
TikTok has announced a new feature that is designed to
help younger users relax and wind down after being glued
to their app all day. If a kid under sixteen
years old is still using the app after ten pm,
TikTok will interrupt their feed with a full screen wind
down reminder that plays calming music to help them relax.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
TikTok is trying to help kids relax. This is like
myth telling us to meditate.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That's a good punchline coming up later in the hour,
The myth that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal
in twenty twenty two. It is a myth, friends, so
I will just read this as presented. Mark Jones, not
his real name, twenty six years old, insecure about his
(12:07):
thinning hair, was curious curious about the ads he saw
promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a fourteen
question intake on a certain website and received a bottle
of Finasteride pills days later. This is the generic name
for Propecia. Soon after taking the medicine, Milich said, he fell.
(12:29):
That's his last name. I just gave it to you. Well,
it's published, it doesn't matter, said he felt strange symptoms.
He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Hell, I just call that Tuesday. Nay. Oh wait.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
A minute later, his libido plunged and his genitals shrank
and changed shape. Oh time out, Gotta take these once
the time time out. So when you said genitals shrink,
I was assuming just your testicles, but like the whole,
the whole, the whole wedding tackle and then change shape.
(13:07):
What's shaped like now? Well exact mickey mouse, that's and
it's a dude wrote this article.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm like, hey, hey, hey, come on on, behalf of
every damn man in ninety percent of the women listening
change shape?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
How picturing a balloon animal right exactly perfectly square. It's
like it's like stirring at clouds.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh today it looks like an elephant? Is that snoopy?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
His doctor said the symptoms were caused by the drug.
His wife said the symptoms upended their lives. Here's the deal.
Your telehealth companies don't have to disclose side effects that
the drug manufacturers.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Do it in their.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Genitals changing shape, you know what I mean? Shrinking genitals
changing shape is disturbing. On the other side, not the
same old, same old. You've been with the same guy
for years. Now get something new.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Every time you have a romantic time, it's like, what
is it this time? Getting some strange It looks looks
like a daisy or something.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Do you mind if I call you ken tonight, honey,
let's see this. Urologist at Cedar Sinai in La said
he's seen a steady increase of young men one or
two a week seeking treatment for finasteride sexual side effects.
Some also experience panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. He said,
(14:35):
the side effects are very, very common these days because
the medicine is easier to get from telehealth.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You get decided, you get the suicidal thoughts because your
junk is a corkscrew shaped like a pig, or a
quarter of its normal.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Size, which wasn't that great to begin with? Hey, oh right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
The companies deny this at customers go through a apprehensive
intake that is reviewed by a licensed provider.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Blah blah. Attorney stold us.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I don't want to give away too much my personal life,
but I've got a variety of medical things through these websites.
I mean, they ask you a couple of questions, you
talk to a doctor on the phone, and then they
sign you off on it. They've never seen you, they've
never met you. It's very easy to get a ton
of stuff that way. They're actual doctors. I'm surprised there
(15:27):
aren't more laws around you know, I'm a libertarian, so
buyer beware, do it or don't. But it's it's funny
the stuff that you can get. It's a you know,
it's an actual doctor. It's an actual prescription.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, try it. You have nothing to lose but your genitals.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
According to Perpitious Label, three point eight percent about four
percent of patients experience one or more sexual side effects. Interestingly,
that's twice as many, but only twice as many as
the folks who took a placebowercent of them report sexual
side effects of their sugar pill, not including changing shape
(16:10):
of your No, not that one.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't see how placebo could all of a sudden.
If it can, i'd retest that it's a placebo.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Right. Some men report worsening side effects after stopping finasteride,
a condition sometimes called post finasteride syndrome.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Uh wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
What's it shaped like today? Get up in the morning.
You think I don't even want to look, but I
might as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What is it today? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Shaped like a tesla. That's weird so much in the news.
I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's it's odd, like a cyber truck, like a lot
of sharp edges.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
So this is a study in not only the myth
that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal with Putin,
but also a study in how partial information can mislead
people coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and some of the results of Trump's method will
see if it happens.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Stay tuned, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Vladimir Putin said, there is that first of all, the
Russians want to kick all of the Ukrainians off their
territory and also create a buffer zone in that area,
which obviously could take months of combat operations to do. So,
the Russians right now feel that they have the edge
on the battlefield and that they are not going to
be pressured or rushed into any sort of ceasefire agreement.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, if you didn't see it on TV last night,
Putin showed up to the front lines there in military
garb as the Russians took back the biggest city in
that chunk of Russia that Ukraine had been holding on
to for ten months I think, And they're going to
push the Ukrainians out of there, and that was going
(18:02):
to be a good bargaining chip for the Ukrainians to
have to try to get back some of their land,
which of course Putin knows, which is why he's there
dressed as a general, trying to make sure his troops,
his troops North Koreans take back their chunk of land.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, the North Koreans convicts and conscripts. Yeah, I'm right,
and just on a purely practical level, if I was
advising Putin, I would say, no, no, we're on the
front foot right now. We got plenty of machine gun
fodder here, let's keep going.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Here's Clarissa a. Ward with another report.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
President Zelenski gave a press conference and he was really
walking a very straight line. He only spoke in Ukrainian.
He would not, despite the best efforts of a number
of reporters, be drawn into more talk about his spot
with President Trump. He really wanted to keep the focus
on where the narrative is now. Effectively, we are not
(18:55):
blocking piece. The words he used, I believe, were to say,
it's very important to me to end this war, and
I very much want Americans to know and to feel this.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Well, we all know where he is. He's got to
make sure Trump's happy.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Sure. Sure.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
By the way, after the Trump spat, his popularity in
Ukraine surged higher.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Interesting which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, speaking of interesting, So there's this story that some
of our beloved listeners perhaps you're listening now, sent along
to us, said, you guys are totally missing the boat
on Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's completely corrupt. I've addressed that more than once.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Every post Soviet republic struggles with corruption and claws its
way toward something close to actual.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Democracy and decency.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's inevitable when you throw off the yoak communism. Anyway,
I've never argued for a minute that there's no corruption
in Ukraine. There's plenty of corruption in America. Asked Joe
Biden and Hunter and James anyway, But the story is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I feel like that's a complete distraction anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, if it were a friendly dictatorship, we don't Russia
want Russia taking it over. No, No, So the other
story that's making the rounds and we've had sent to
us is that Russia, and this is the essence of it.
Russian and Ukrainian negotiators sat down early in the war,
in the spring of twenty twenty two, and reached a deal,
(20:23):
or were very close to one.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Ukraine became overconfident and influenced by Boris Johnson of the
uk and the US decided, no, we're not going to
sign this excellent deal.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're going to fight instead.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And it's the US that promoted this war, not Putin,
and we're the bad guys. It's very much the same
strain of thinking that Churchill was the bad guy in
World War Two and Hitler just accidentally killed all those people.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Lunacy. Anyway, it goes on.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
At Ukraine accepted the deal, it could have gaped with
its territory, or at least its sovereignty intact, it would
have had to renounce joining NATO, and the Brits and
the US didn't want that. Therefore, the continuation of the
war for the past four years is essentially Ukraine's fault
and proof that Putin is right to resist by arms
any Ukrainian steps toward NATO membership. And this justifies abandoning
(21:18):
Zelensky now to leave them to face the consequences of
a bad choice. That's pretty good summary of what people
have tried to pitch to us, whether it's through other
media or even emails and that sort of thing. And
as usual, there is a grain of truth to the fraud.
The myth. It started in Ukraine a Pravda or whatever.
(21:42):
A member of Zelenski's own negotiating team said, quote, when
we were turned from istanbul Boris Johnson came to Kiev
and said, we would not sign anything with them at all.
Let's just fight, essentially, because the Russians can't be trusted
and this doesn't assure your security well. In an interview
with Tucker Carlson last year, Putin brought up the story,
(22:04):
claiming it showed the West and pushed Ukraine further into
the war, and he quoted this guy, But what he
leaves out is the other part of the quote, in
which the same guy said the Ukrainian delegation had not
planned to sign anything. In any case, we were already
where the Brits said, you know it ought to be.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
We'd come to that conclusion already.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Comments by Victoria Nulin, former State Department official, have also
fed this storyline, although Newland Similarity argues that to Western
skepticism only confirmed what Ukraine had already concluded again to
that point, and then Dan McLachlan writes in The National
Review as typical of usable myths, there are strains of
truth here, but the myth far outruns the evidence. In fact,
(22:48):
from what we can gather from the public record, While
the talks between the two sides were extensive in early
twenty two, there was never a finally agreed deal between
Russian and Ukrainian negotiators. The deals on the table would
stripped territory from Ukraine and limited its military and departed
from joining NATO, and the Ukrainians were prepared to agree,
at least in principle to all three of these conditions,
(23:11):
and they negotiated a bunch of other stuff. But the
deal breaker was Russian insistence that any security guarantees given
to Ukraine in exchange for its effective disarmament must be
subject to a veto by Russia itself, So Russia would
be the judge and jury of any security guarantees and
could invade any minute, any time, for any reason.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You'd be crazy to agree to that. Oh yeah, that
would be insane.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, if anybody wants more details, we can go
into more details down the road. But the idea that, yeah, yeah,
Ukraine was ready to come to just this sweet agreement
and we talked him out of it is a myth.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's potent's propaganda.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Okay, So back in the real world, this think tank
person tweeted out the day, and I thought it was
interesting as to where things are right now. It's useful
speaking of skeptics like you were just talking about, to
people who believe that thing. It's useful that the skeptics
in the American population now see that Ukraine is working
with US negotiators. Trump forced him into it, He's agreeing
(24:15):
with it and is doing its part to end the
war and have a cease fire. Russia is and always
has been the problem, but now it's going to be
more easily seen by everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That's got to be.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
True, right, And maybe to a certain extent, I don't
know if there's given Trump too much credit or not.
Maybe he figured out a way to bring that crowd
you were just talking about along for the ride. Was
so hard on Zelensky, so openly, you know, dismissive of
him and critical of him and everything like that, And
(24:45):
now that Zelensky's gone along, it's just like, Okay, now
you see he's playing ball with us.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's all Russia that's stopping this at this point.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I think that is probably excellent analysis. I think Trump,
who you've got to remember, he's real good at shaping
public perception, like when he wanted to build a giant
golf resort in Ireland or whatever, and people were against
it at first, and he's very sensitive to Okay, where
are the people, what are they thinking? What do I
(25:13):
have to overcome? And I think, you know, to rephrase
what you said. He said, all right, first thing I
need to do is make it explicitly clear to my
supporters that Ukraine is not playing me in any way.
They're not somehow cleverly duping us out of cash. I'm
in charge of this and I'm going to do X,
(25:35):
Y and z, whether he you know, spelled that out
to himself or to his aides or just knows it instinctively.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So before we take a break, right now, there are
protesters occupying Trump Tower in New York City over the
whole detained anti Israeli agitator at Columbia student dude whose
wife is pregnant.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I keep hearing on the age pregnant Jack, not just
a little pregnant.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
The question is whether or not he's a you know,
cross the line into advocating for terrorists, and legally he
can be held whether or not his wife.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It's pregnant plays no role.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't care if he has three wives each pregnant
with triplets. That's irrelevant to the.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Case, right it is.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
But anyway, you got a whole bunch of protesters in
front of Trump Tower and they've occupied the bottom floor
and they're trying to arrest them right now. They're all
wearing no More Aid to Israel t shirts. So this
continues to be a spicy story, certainly in New York. Anyway,
more on the way.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Armstrong going on now with the White House Tesla autom all.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
It's the biggest sale of the year.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
It's safe, it's very strong, heavy, it's all steel.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Stealers, y'all come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue, just off
Route twenty nine to get our best deal ever on
a brand new Tesla.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I want to make a good deal here.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
If they have one, which is thirty five thousand dollars,
which is pretty.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Low, get a model one with a different panel and
everything's computer. This is a different panel that everything's computer.
So don't waste your time going to those other Tesla
dealerships with riots and flaming cyber trucks. You gotta come
down to White House Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I love Tesler.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
You gotta come down to white House, Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
This is really amazing. That's really well done. Where'd I
come from? That's funny. The Internet come down to thee
slur audible, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I I wonder if they're ever gonna have to put
a limit on electric cars in their their power because
the cyber truck weighs seven thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And if you get the cyberbeast version with the three
motors in it, it's insanely fast, Like it's faster than
a l than most sports cars, gas powered sports cars
that people spends.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
And but weighs seven thousand pounds. What's the math on
stopping one of those things if they're flying?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, or if it's got you know, you know, somebody
always want to say, hits the gas. There's no guess,
hits the accelerator. She got all that momentum at seven pounds,
you just crush anything else on the road.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, if you're in it, if you're
in that one, yeah exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Hey. One final very quick note on the Ukraine thing
we were just talking about, is the draft agreement that
the Ukrainians rejected. Had Russia and China as the as
two of the Guarran tours, that Russia would not invade,
meaning Russia could veto any assistance given to stop another
(28:44):
Russian invasion, and Ukraine said no way. So yeah, the
US and UK said this is a terrible agreement. They
were already there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So I'm watching live on cable news. Only Fox has
it these anti Israel protesters that have occupied the bottom
floor of Trump Tower, and now they're all being arrested.
This whole game that we play all over the country
with protesters. So they're all standing there, clapping their hands,
(29:16):
they've got music playing, they're dancing around, and then one
by one the cops will come to them and they
turn around and they put their hands behind their back,
and then they zip tie them and then they go
put them in a car. And just how much money
do taxpayers spend on these the going through the motions
of a pretend to rest and a pretend take them down,
and a pretend book them and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Maybe they're never prosecuted. Just the whole thing is they
are Kamala Harris will pay their fine.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I never used the term kabuki theater, but this is
it's all such kabuki theory. I mean, the protest is kabuki,
the arrest is kabuki. It's all kabuki. But we're paying
a lot of money for it, and it's very disruptive.
Is there any way to get around that in a
country with free speech and right of assembly and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Less kabuki, more wood shampoos, That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I mean they're having that's a party. They're having way
too much fun there as they're getting arrested. I've never
been arrested in my life, and I always pictured if
I got arrested, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience.
But they're having a good time. Almost entirely white women
and asexual males as far as I can tell. Yeah,
(30:26):
are they all wearing the terrorist scarf? Not only one
of them were in the Kafia. Some of them have
COVID masks on. But they're just clapping and playing music.
And then you when it's your turn, you put your
hand behind your back, and then they arrest you and
march you off into a big truck and take you
down and what a waste of time and money.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Here's a crazy idea, and this is why I'm known
as such an extremist. How about we follow the law,
for instance, the laws that say you can't be masked
in a demonstration, Santai clan laws. A lot of cities
had them from the nineteen thirties, I guess twenties and thirties.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Those laws are still on the books. And force them.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Free Mohammed, free them all, is what they're mostly chanting. Yeah,
go ahead, Yeah, all right, good for you, And then
they feel like they're really brave standing up for I'd
take your free speech concerns, which I have concerns about
that on this case too, but i'd take your free
(31:23):
speech concerns more seriously if you weren't also protesting, you know,
for Hamas before this happened. Yeah, that's the beauty of
these people is they are demonstrating in favor of Islamist
organizations that would beat them, torture them, rape them, heave
them off the building a building before noon day one
(31:47):
when they were in charge, every damn one of those
linguini armed radical sexless, pale women's study.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Major jack gases. God, how do you not get that.
It's like Jews for Hitler. Seriously, I don't know why
it's that bizarre and troubling.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't know why the size of their arms comes
into play. Just descriptive. I'm an artist, that's true. You're
just describing the scene, and I'm looking at the scene
right now live and that's pretty accurate. I'd be willing
to arm wrestle almost every dude I can see up
there at your advanced age. Old Yeah, okay, great. Now
(32:34):
you get to say forever you're a protester and arrested
by the man standing up for something or other, and
we hope you do.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are
right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Here's your for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I'm about a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap up the show for the day. There is
Michaelangelow into the control room. Michael final thought, trying to
think of what Jack.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Can do to get himself so we could sleep at night.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
I was thinking warm milk maybe, or I guess you
could get yourself right with the Lord.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Jack. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Maybe that's are right, you can be awake. That's right,
Sir Katie Green, are esteemed and usewoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
So, the popular vote on Twitter from our first hour
from when I almost died on the show yesterday is
that they all think it would have been great ratings,
great radio and great ratings.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Huh, there's no doubt. I don't know about yeah, well, yeah, yeah, Jack.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
A final thought for us in the late evening hours tonight,
there is going to be a full hour long lunar eclipse.
If you are somewhere where the sky is clear, it's
supposed to be longer and better to see than they
usually are, just because of the way the Earth's tilted
and variety of things.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
So hoping for clear skies tonight, I'll see you on
the dark side of the moon. Speaking of music, I
was tossing and turning last night for a very long
time and just kept having music go through my head.
I kept telling myself, shut up, shut up. Then I thought,
you know what, every single band going through my head
is a British band.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I wonder what that means. Then I said, shut up with.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That too, shut up analyzing. You're insomnia. That's crazy. When
the brain turns on, it turns on. You can't turn
it off.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We have breaking news.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Putin says he agrees to the US plan for a
Ukraine sea spire, but the details are the key.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (34:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Hilarious Armstrong and Getdy wrapping up at other grueling for
our workday.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I am rolling my eyes violently. So many people.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Thanks so a little time. Go to armstrong geddy dot com.
Check out Katie's corner.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Katie and Corner are both spells with k.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You got your hot lengths, you got your ang swag.
Drop his note. If there's something we ought to be
talking about.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Send it along mail bag at Armstrong Yeeddy dot com.
So we're advocating a literacy. Are we see you tomorrow?
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I'm strong and Getty. Our message is clear. You're going
to continue to speak lies to his truth. I was
wondering you know what you felt about that? It makes
no sense? Are you sure? Yes?
Speaker 3 (35:14):
So let's go with it comes to trade, though China's
like a pig with an enormously long tongue. I mean, really,
if you think about it, I'm sorry, but are strong
and getty.
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty and now
he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's not a criminal.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's crime.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It's not a crime.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, we're still gonna heave you out, all right, to
obey immigration law or leave.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's wack adoodle.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett America hating communist, and I'm not trying
to be funny.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think she's all of those things.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I thought I had found the miracle cure for my
sleep problems. Then the underbelly. We'll get to that coming
up a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh and speaking of similar things, fellas you attempted to do,
click on the website and get yourself some pro pichia.
I think it is for your hair loss, and don't
do it until you've listened to this hour of the
Armstrong Untgetti Show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Unless you want to be blind.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't think that's a factor here anyway. I was
gonna leave it mysterious and you ruined it. So what's
the current state of the Democratic Party somewhere between a
poop show and a dumpster firecrat would seem crap crap,
there you go, Ram Emmanuel.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
There.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Democrats are in deep, deep trouble, according to their own
internal polling. Politico's Elena schneider I was writing about the
Democratic numbers on Tuesday, quote, the Democratic Party's brand is
in rough shape in the congressional battlegrounds. Nearly two months
into the second Donald Trump administration, A majority of voters
in battleground house districts still believe Democrats in Congress quote
(01:50):
are more focused on helping other people than people like me.
According to an internal poll long Independence, just twenty seven
believe Democrats are focused on helping them, compared with fifty
five percent. Friends, that's more than double who say they're
focused on the other people, not people like me.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, although when it comes to election time, you just
have to be the smartest horse or the tallest little person.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, yeah, with the Republican Party b by then well.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And will the Republican Party manage not to nominate jackasses?
Ironically elephant jackasses. Democrat polster Molly Murphy is quoted in
the Political Pieces saying while voters were somewhat critical of
Trump in some spots. The Democrats have serious damage to
fix with their own brand before voters trust them in
government again, said prominent democrat. The Democratic brand is still
(02:48):
not where it needs to be in terms of core
trust and understanding people's challenges. Other numbers in the poll
are even worse for Democrats. A majority fifty six percent
of those surveys said Democrats are not looking out for
work class people are not. Forty two percent say they
shared values with Democrats. Just thirty nine percent said Democrats
(03:08):
value work, and just forty four percent said Democrats even
respect work. Thirty nine percent said Democrats have the right
priorities as a party, So that's not great.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Don't respect work? Wow, you don't want that brand. Gosh.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And in a completely wildly unrelated story, hundreds of protesters,
many of them in drag, descended on the Kennedy Center
on Saturday as part of a rally in March for Drag.
Was the latest in a serious protests in response to
President Trump's ban on Kennedy Center drag productions, said drag
(03:45):
artist Tara Hoot. This president is demonizing a marginalized community
in order to control the arts in America.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's shameful, immoral and weak. Keep going with that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Good Luckily, all right, I'm looking at a picture of
this freak wow and f bomb. That's a nerve freak anyway.
And finally this the DNC has picked a new executive director.
Have you heard about this guy. He's a former Liz
Warren campaign manager. Now, this is the guy who's going
(04:17):
to bring the Democratic Party back from what I was
just describing and all those poll results. He's a longtime
staffer and failed campaign manager for a handful of people,
who not only lists his pronouns on his website, but
lists them in Mandarin Roger law. He touts his decades
(04:40):
long experience. There's a campaign manager for a bunch of losers.
But Loo embodies many of the same characteristics that define
the Democrats defeat in twenty four He said in October
that it was very cool when vice presidential candidate Tim
Walls live streamed one half of a Madden NFL video
game with AOC The final score was zero to zero
(05:01):
because they were so bad at it. In addition to
disclosing his Chinese pronouns on social media, a low made
far left identity politics a central focus of Warren's twenty
twenty presidential campaign. You noted in a campaign memo the
company invested more than seven hundred thousand dollars in radio,
print and mail advertisement to reach LATINX communities, et cetera,
(05:24):
et cetera. So they picked a far lefty to lead
them back from the brink of irrelevance that they're on.
Then finally this from Politico, and we saw this the
other day. I should have asked for all those videos
when everybody was reading from the same script saying here's
what you're gonna hear.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
S that isn't true. Do you have that?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Evidently, using foul language is the new strategy in the
Democratic Party. Jasmin Crockett, who we just heard from, telling
Elon Musk to f off. You got it, Michael, Yeah,
don't worry, it's not that important. Ken Martin, the new
chair of the DNC, to a more Midwestern approach. Go
(06:03):
to hell, he said later on X. Let's see Democrats
are cursing up a storm, said John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
GD It tell me who started that. It's kind of
a funny thing to say. Former DNC chair Tom Ferez
frequently deployed profanity in twenty seventeen, saying, for example, that
(06:23):
Trump doesn't give.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
An ass about healthcare. Okay, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So I have talked a little bit lately about how
much trouble I'm having sleeping, worst I've ever had in
my life. It's reuly a drag. I wake up at
like one two o'clock and then stay awake in It's
been horrible. So somebody suggested these various supplements that they
said really worked for them. So I ordered them on Amazon,
had them the next day and tried it for the
first time Monday night and Tuesday night, and had the
(06:50):
two best nights of sleep I've had. This is an AD.
By the way it sounds like an AD, it is
the opposite of an AD soon to be. I had
the two best nights of sleep I've had in years.
I slept all night long, Like I don't remember the
last time I went to sleep and didn't wake up
until the alarm went off.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
God, it's been years. It was so awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I thought, well, this is fantastic, this will change my life,
except for I'm so freaking groggy during the day, and
like today is even worse. Than I like, it's like
I'm swimming in soup trying to wake up, which you
know is no good. And so I was taking valerian
root and I don't know which one of these is
doing it. Are all three valerian root, magnesium, and something
(07:31):
that starts with an owl. I don't remember what is
leah fine or leah something.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Like it wow, something that starts with an L.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I t how you know it's not an ad. I
don't even know the name of the thing. L if
you lion urine or licin aprill or. And last night
I had some sort of crazy dream that I tried
to wake myself out of and I was up out
of my bed at one point and it was like
I couldn't tell what was happening, and it's like I
was a drugged So then, well, and you were describing
trying to get ready for work this morning, found that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Ye yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. I was like,
do I have my keys? Okay? I got my keys?
Where are my glasses? Okay? Which car? I was just
this horrible, oh, even worse than that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Katie, who on my recommendation, tried some valarian route almost
died yesterday.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, I was sitting here for an hour with a
resting heart rate at one And how how do you
trace suspected the Valerian route. I messaged my doctor and
he asked me, what have you changed? And I mean,
what did you do anything differently because I am on
a bunch of different medications and stuff. And I said,
the only thing that I changed is I took Valerian
Route last night to try to, you know, sleep through
(08:38):
the night. And you went, well, there it is those
caused heart that causes heart palpitations.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And someday Katie and I do a huge line of
cocaine together before the show just to get up for it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But we do that every day. Yeah, so that didn't change, right.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I'm going to be accused of a classic pumping dump
here where I talk up Valarian root.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Wait till the stock goes up? Is there stock?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And then I shorted it somehow, and then I come
out and talk about how it gives you heart attacks
and you sleepwalk or whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
But yeah, a longtime friend of the show, Mike the
lawyer in Chicago, said, yeah, I bought some on Jack's
recommendation and tossed it on katies because he was having
bizarro dreams that he couldn't wake up from.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Sucks, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And I've talked about sleeping before, and my doctor has
never recommended Valerian root or any of that sort of stuff.
And you know, some of your hippie types would say
that's because big Pharma only wants you to take the
stuff manufactured by whoever, and we are are are nationalism
won't allow us to use Eastern medicine.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They Chinese figured this out of years ago and shot
up and get our haircut. Youa damn hippies, all that
sort of stuff. And it turns out maybe there's I
don't know, I've learned. Somebody said their bottle of larian
roots says only use occasionally. Okay, maybe not supposed to
use it every day.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I just take the magnesium jack. That should be good.
You think, do you take magnesium? I've taken magnesium.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
See.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Now I have a friend who takes magnesium and he
said it gave him insane dreams.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh maybe it was a magnic.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
See.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I took all three of them last night, the magnesium,
the blurring root, and the thing that starts with an hell.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, we'll see, I don't know. I don't I don't
want to tell anybody how to live. But like I say,
I start my day with an enormous line of cocaine
and then I put myself to sleep with a profifall
like Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So you know it's worked for me for a years. Yeah,
you have a doctor that comes by and starts an
ibeed drip.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Anyway, so I'm excited about this though. I thought this
could be life changing.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Damn it.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We don't have time to get into this thoroughly, but
next segment, I'll just pay this off quickly. Then we'll
move on to other fair stories about people getting the
hair loss drugs online without a visit to the doctor
and some of the eye defects. We're talking to hair
loss pills. Fellas, trust me when I say you want
(11:06):
to stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, trust me, love this, it's on the way, Stay here.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
TikTok has announced a new feature that is designed to
help younger users relax and wind down after being glued
to their app all day. If a kid under sixteen
years old is still using the app after ten pm,
TikTok will interrupt their feed with a full screen wind
down reminder that plays calming music to help them relax.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
TikTok is trying to help kids relax. This is like
myth telling us to meditate.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That's a good punchline coming up later in the hour,
The myth that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal
in twenty twenty two. It is a myth, friends, so
I will just read this as presented. Mark Jones, not
his real name, twenty six years old, insecure about his
(12:07):
thinning hair, was curious curious about the ads he saw
promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a fourteen
question intake on a certain website and received a bottle
of Finasteride pills days later. This is the generic name
for Propecia. Soon after taking the medicine, Milich said, he fell.
(12:29):
That's his last name. I just gave it to you. Well,
it's published, it doesn't matter, said he felt strange symptoms.
He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Hell, I just call that Tuesday. Nay. Oh wait.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
A minute later, his libido plunged and his genitals shrank
and changed shape. Oh time out, Gotta take these once
the time time out. So when you said genitals shrink,
I was assuming just your testicles, but like the whole,
the whole, the whole wedding tackle and then change shape.
(13:07):
What's shaped like now? Well exact mickey mouse, that's and
it's a dude wrote this article.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm like, hey, hey, hey, come on on, behalf of
every damn man in ninety percent of the women listening
change shape?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
How picturing a balloon animal right exactly perfectly square. It's
like it's like stirring at clouds.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh today it looks like an elephant? Is that snoopy?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
His doctor said the symptoms were caused by the drug.
His wife said the symptoms upended their lives. Here's the deal.
Your telehealth companies don't have to disclose side effects that
the drug manufacturers.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Do it in their.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Genitals changing shape, you know what I mean? Shrinking genitals
changing shape is disturbing. On the other side, not the
same old, same old. You've been with the same guy
for years. Now get something new.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Every time you have a romantic time, it's like, what
is it this time? Getting some strange It looks looks
like a daisy or something.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Do you mind if I call you ken tonight, honey,
let's see this. Urologist at Cedar Sinai in La said
he's seen a steady increase of young men one or
two a week seeking treatment for finasteride sexual side effects.
Some also experience panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. He said,
(14:35):
the side effects are very, very common these days because
the medicine is easier to get from telehealth.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You get decided, you get the suicidal thoughts because your
junk is a corkscrew shaped like a pig, or a
quarter of its normal.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Size, which wasn't that great to begin with? Hey, oh right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
The companies deny this at customers go through a apprehensive
intake that is reviewed by a licensed provider.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Blah blah. Attorney stold us.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I don't want to give away too much my personal life,
but I've got a variety of medical things through these websites.
I mean, they ask you a couple of questions, you
talk to a doctor on the phone, and then they
sign you off on it. They've never seen you, they've
never met you. It's very easy to get a ton
of stuff that way. They're actual doctors. I'm surprised there
(15:27):
aren't more laws around you know, I'm a libertarian, so
buyer beware, do it or don't. But it's it's funny
the stuff that you can get. It's a you know,
it's an actual doctor. It's an actual prescription.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, try it. You have nothing to lose but your genitals.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
According to Perpitious Label, three point eight percent about four
percent of patients experience one or more sexual side effects. Interestingly,
that's twice as many, but only twice as many as
the folks who took a placebowercent of them report sexual
side effects of their sugar pill, not including changing shape
(16:10):
of your No, not that one.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't see how placebo could all of a sudden.
If it can, i'd retest that it's a placebo.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Right. Some men report worsening side effects after stopping finasteride,
a condition sometimes called post finasteride syndrome.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Uh wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
What's it shaped like today? Get up in the morning.
You think I don't even want to look, but I
might as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What is it today? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Shaped like a tesla. That's weird so much in the news.
I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's it's odd, like a cyber truck, like a lot
of sharp edges.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
So this is a study in not only the myth
that Ukraine turned down a perfectly great deal with Putin,
but also a study in how partial information can mislead
people coming up.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and some of the results of Trump's method will
see if it happens.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Stay tuned, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Vladimir Putin said, there is that first of all, the
Russians want to kick all of the Ukrainians off their
territory and also create a buffer zone in that area,
which obviously could take months of combat operations to do. So,
the Russians right now feel that they have the edge
on the battlefield and that they are not going to
be pressured or rushed into any sort of ceasefire agreement.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, if you didn't see it on TV last night,
Putin showed up to the front lines there in military
garb as the Russians took back the biggest city in
that chunk of Russia that Ukraine had been holding on
to for ten months I think, And they're going to
push the Ukrainians out of there, and that was going
(18:02):
to be a good bargaining chip for the Ukrainians to
have to try to get back some of their land,
which of course Putin knows, which is why he's there
dressed as a general, trying to make sure his troops,
his troops North Koreans take back their chunk of land.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, the North Koreans convicts and conscripts. Yeah, I'm right,
and just on a purely practical level, if I was
advising Putin, I would say, no, no, we're on the
front foot right now. We got plenty of machine gun
fodder here, let's keep going.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Here's Clarissa a. Ward with another report.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
President Zelenski gave a press conference and he was really
walking a very straight line. He only spoke in Ukrainian.
He would not, despite the best efforts of a number
of reporters, be drawn into more talk about his spot
with President Trump. He really wanted to keep the focus
on where the narrative is now. Effectively, we are not
(18:55):
blocking piece. The words he used, I believe, were to say,
it's very important to me to end this war, and
I very much want Americans to know and to feel this.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Well, we all know where he is. He's got to
make sure Trump's happy.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Sure. Sure.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
By the way, after the Trump spat, his popularity in
Ukraine surged higher.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Interesting which is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, speaking of interesting, So there's this story that some
of our beloved listeners perhaps you're listening now, sent along
to us, said, you guys are totally missing the boat
on Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It's completely corrupt. I've addressed that more than once.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Every post Soviet republic struggles with corruption and claws its
way toward something close to actual.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Democracy and decency.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's inevitable when you throw off the yoak communism. Anyway,
I've never argued for a minute that there's no corruption
in Ukraine. There's plenty of corruption in America. Asked Joe
Biden and Hunter and James anyway, But the story is.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I feel like that's a complete distraction anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, if it were a friendly dictatorship, we don't Russia
want Russia taking it over. No, No, So the other
story that's making the rounds and we've had sent to
us is that Russia, and this is the essence of it.
Russian and Ukrainian negotiators sat down early in the war,
in the spring of twenty twenty two, and reached a deal,
(20:23):
or were very close to one.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Ukraine became overconfident and influenced by Boris Johnson of the
uk and the US decided, no, we're not going to
sign this excellent deal.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
We're going to fight instead.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And it's the US that promoted this war, not Putin,
and we're the bad guys. It's very much the same
strain of thinking that Churchill was the bad guy in
World War Two and Hitler just accidentally killed all those people.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Lunacy. Anyway, it goes on.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
At Ukraine accepted the deal, it could have gaped with
its territory, or at least its sovereignty intact, it would
have had to renounce joining NATO, and the Brits and
the US didn't want that. Therefore, the continuation of the
war for the past four years is essentially Ukraine's fault
and proof that Putin is right to resist by arms
any Ukrainian steps toward NATO membership. And this justifies abandoning
(21:18):
Zelensky now to leave them to face the consequences of
a bad choice. That's pretty good summary of what people
have tried to pitch to us, whether it's through other
media or even emails and that sort of thing. And
as usual, there is a grain of truth to the fraud.
The myth. It started in Ukraine a Pravda or whatever.
(21:42):
A member of Zelenski's own negotiating team said, quote, when
we were turned from istanbul Boris Johnson came to Kiev
and said, we would not sign anything with them at all.
Let's just fight, essentially, because the Russians can't be trusted
and this doesn't assure your security well. In an interview
with Tucker Carlson last year, Putin brought up the story,
(22:04):
claiming it showed the West and pushed Ukraine further into
the war, and he quoted this guy, But what he
leaves out is the other part of the quote, in
which the same guy said the Ukrainian delegation had not
planned to sign anything. In any case, we were already
where the Brits said, you know it ought to be.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
We'd come to that conclusion already.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Comments by Victoria Nulin, former State Department official, have also
fed this storyline, although Newland Similarity argues that to Western
skepticism only confirmed what Ukraine had already concluded again to
that point, and then Dan McLachlan writes in The National
Review as typical of usable myths, there are strains of
truth here, but the myth far outruns the evidence. In fact,
(22:48):
from what we can gather from the public record, While
the talks between the two sides were extensive in early
twenty two, there was never a finally agreed deal between
Russian and Ukrainian negotiators. The deals on the table would
stripped territory from Ukraine and limited its military and departed
from joining NATO, and the Ukrainians were prepared to agree,
at least in principle to all three of these conditions,
(23:11):
and they negotiated a bunch of other stuff. But the
deal breaker was Russian insistence that any security guarantees given
to Ukraine in exchange for its effective disarmament must be
subject to a veto by Russia itself, So Russia would
be the judge and jury of any security guarantees and
could invade any minute, any time, for any reason.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You'd be crazy to agree to that. Oh yeah, that
would be insane.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
You know, if anybody wants more details, we can go
into more details down the road. But the idea that, yeah, yeah,
Ukraine was ready to come to just this sweet agreement
and we talked him out of it is a myth.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's potent's propaganda.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Okay, So back in the real world, this think tank
person tweeted out the day, and I thought it was
interesting as to where things are right now. It's useful
speaking of skeptics like you were just talking about, to
people who believe that thing. It's useful that the skeptics
in the American population now see that Ukraine is working
with US negotiators. Trump forced him into it, He's agreeing
(24:15):
with it and is doing its part to end the
war and have a cease fire. Russia is and always
has been the problem, but now it's going to be
more easily seen by everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That's got to be.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
True, right, And maybe to a certain extent, I don't
know if there's given Trump too much credit or not.
Maybe he figured out a way to bring that crowd
you were just talking about along for the ride. Was
so hard on Zelensky, so openly, you know, dismissive of
him and critical of him and everything like that, And
(24:45):
now that Zelensky's gone along, it's just like, Okay, now
you see he's playing ball with us.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's all Russia that's stopping this at this point.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I think that is probably excellent analysis. I think Trump,
who you've got to remember, he's real good at shaping
public perception, like when he wanted to build a giant
golf resort in Ireland or whatever, and people were against
it at first, and he's very sensitive to Okay, where
are the people, what are they thinking? What do I
(25:13):
have to overcome? And I think, you know, to rephrase
what you said. He said, all right, first thing I
need to do is make it explicitly clear to my
supporters that Ukraine is not playing me in any way.
They're not somehow cleverly duping us out of cash. I'm
in charge of this and I'm going to do X,
(25:35):
Y and z, whether he you know, spelled that out
to himself or to his aides or just knows it instinctively.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So before we take a break, right now, there are
protesters occupying Trump Tower in New York City over the
whole detained anti Israeli agitator at Columbia student dude whose
wife is pregnant.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I keep hearing on the age pregnant Jack, not just
a little pregnant.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
The question is whether or not he's a you know,
cross the line into advocating for terrorists, and legally he
can be held whether or not his wife.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It's pregnant plays no role.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't care if he has three wives each pregnant
with triplets. That's irrelevant to the.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Case, right it is.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
But anyway, you got a whole bunch of protesters in
front of Trump Tower and they've occupied the bottom floor
and they're trying to arrest them right now. They're all
wearing no More Aid to Israel t shirts. So this
continues to be a spicy story, certainly in New York. Anyway,
more on the way.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Armstrong going on now with the White House Tesla autom all.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
It's the biggest sale of the year.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
It's safe, it's very strong, heavy, it's all steel.
Speaker 10 (26:46):
Stealers, y'all come on down to Pennsylvania Avenue, just off
Route twenty nine to get our best deal ever on
a brand new Tesla.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I want to make a good deal here.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
If they have one, which is thirty five thousand dollars,
which is pretty.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
Low, get a model one with a different panel and
everything's computer. This is a different panel that everything's computer.
So don't waste your time going to those other Tesla
dealerships with riots and flaming cyber trucks. You gotta come
down to White House Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I love Tesler.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
You gotta come down to white House, Tesla Auto Mall.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
This is really amazing. That's really well done. Where'd I
come from? That's funny. The Internet come down to thee
slur audible, that's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I I wonder if they're ever gonna have to put
a limit on electric cars in their their power because
the cyber truck weighs seven thousand pounds.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
And if you get the cyberbeast version with the three
motors in it, it's insanely fast, Like it's faster than
a l than most sports cars, gas powered sports cars
that people spends.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
And but weighs seven thousand pounds. What's the math on
stopping one of those things if they're flying?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, or if it's got you know, you know, somebody
always want to say, hits the gas. There's no guess,
hits the accelerator. She got all that momentum at seven pounds,
you just crush anything else on the road.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, sounds great. Yeah, if you're in it, if you're
in that one, yeah exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Hey. One final very quick note on the Ukraine thing
we were just talking about, is the draft agreement that
the Ukrainians rejected. Had Russia and China as the as
two of the Guarran tours, that Russia would not invade,
meaning Russia could veto any assistance given to stop another
(28:44):
Russian invasion, and Ukraine said no way. So yeah, the
US and UK said this is a terrible agreement. They
were already there.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So I'm watching live on cable news. Only Fox has
it these anti Israel protesters that have occupied the bottom
floor of Trump Tower, and now they're all being arrested.
This whole game that we play all over the country
with protesters. So they're all standing there, clapping their hands,
(29:16):
they've got music playing, they're dancing around, and then one
by one the cops will come to them and they
turn around and they put their hands behind their back,
and then they zip tie them and then they go
put them in a car. And just how much money
do taxpayers spend on these the going through the motions
of a pretend to rest and a pretend take them down,
and a pretend book them and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Maybe they're never prosecuted. Just the whole thing is they
are Kamala Harris will pay their fine.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I never used the term kabuki theater, but this is
it's all such kabuki theory. I mean, the protest is kabuki,
the arrest is kabuki. It's all kabuki. But we're paying
a lot of money for it, and it's very disruptive.
Is there any way to get around that in a
country with free speech and right of assembly and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Less kabuki, more wood shampoos, That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I mean they're having that's a party. They're having way
too much fun there as they're getting arrested. I've never
been arrested in my life, and I always pictured if
I got arrested, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience.
But they're having a good time. Almost entirely white women
and asexual males as far as I can tell. Yeah,
(30:26):
are they all wearing the terrorist scarf? Not only one
of them were in the Kafia. Some of them have
COVID masks on. But they're just clapping and playing music.
And then you when it's your turn, you put your
hand behind your back, and then they arrest you and
march you off into a big truck and take you
down and what a waste of time and money.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Here's a crazy idea, and this is why I'm known
as such an extremist. How about we follow the law,
for instance, the laws that say you can't be masked
in a demonstration, Santai clan laws. A lot of cities
had them from the nineteen thirties, I guess twenties and thirties.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Those laws are still on the books. And force them.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Free Mohammed, free them all, is what they're mostly chanting. Yeah,
go ahead, Yeah, all right, good for you, And then
they feel like they're really brave standing up for I'd
take your free speech concerns, which I have concerns about
that on this case too, but i'd take your free
(31:23):
speech concerns more seriously if you weren't also protesting, you know,
for Hamas before this happened. Yeah, that's the beauty of
these people is they are demonstrating in favor of Islamist
organizations that would beat them, torture them, rape them, heave
them off the building a building before noon day one
(31:47):
when they were in charge, every damn one of those
linguini armed radical sexless, pale women's study.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Major jack gases. God, how do you not get that.
It's like Jews for Hitler. Seriously, I don't know why
it's that bizarre and troubling.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I don't know why the size of their arms comes
into play. Just descriptive. I'm an artist, that's true. You're
just describing the scene, and I'm looking at the scene
right now live and that's pretty accurate. I'd be willing
to arm wrestle almost every dude I can see up
there at your advanced age. Old Yeah, okay, great. Now
(32:34):
you get to say forever you're a protester and arrested
by the man standing up for something or other, and
we hope you do.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are
right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Here's your for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I'm about a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap up the show for the day. There is
Michaelangelow into the control room. Michael final thought, trying to
think of what Jack.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Can do to get himself so we could sleep at night.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
I was thinking warm milk maybe, or I guess you
could get yourself right with the Lord.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Jack. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Maybe that's are right, you can be awake. That's right,
Sir Katie Green, are esteemed and usewoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
So, the popular vote on Twitter from our first hour
from when I almost died on the show yesterday is
that they all think it would have been great ratings,
great radio and great ratings.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Huh, there's no doubt. I don't know about yeah, well, yeah, yeah, Jack.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
A final thought for us in the late evening hours tonight,
there is going to be a full hour long lunar eclipse.
If you are somewhere where the sky is clear, it's
supposed to be longer and better to see than they
usually are, just because of the way the Earth's tilted
and variety of things.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
So hoping for clear skies tonight, I'll see you on
the dark side of the moon. Speaking of music, I
was tossing and turning last night for a very long
time and just kept having music go through my head.
I kept telling myself, shut up, shut up. Then I thought,
you know what, every single band going through my head
is a British band.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I wonder what that means. Then I said, shut up with.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That too, shut up analyzing. You're insomnia. That's crazy. When
the brain turns on, it turns on. You can't turn
it off.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
We have breaking news.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Putin says he agrees to the US plan for a
Ukraine sea spire, but the details are the key.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (34:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Hilarious Armstrong and Getdy wrapping up at other grueling for
our workday.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I am rolling my eyes violently. So many people.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Thanks so a little time. Go to armstrong geddy dot com.
Check out Katie's corner.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Katie and Corner are both spells with k.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
You got your hot lengths, you got your ang swag.
Drop his note. If there's something we ought to be
talking about.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Send it along mail bag at Armstrong Yeeddy dot com.
So we're advocating a literacy. Are we see you tomorrow?
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I'm strong and Getty. Our message is clear. You're going
to continue to speak lies to his truth. I was
wondering you know what you felt about that? It makes
no sense? Are you sure? Yes?
Speaker 3 (35:14):
So let's go with it comes to trade, though China's
like a pig with an enormously long tongue. I mean, really,
if you think about it, I'm sorry, but are strong
and getty.
