Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And Joe Getty arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong
and Yetty. I am Cole Jr.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A thirty year old white man from the DC Suburbs,
is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce
and with malicious destruction. Now, if you follow the story
throughout today, it was not a white man white. Jake
Tapper went with he was a white guy. Now, I
got to admit I was expecting a white guy. The
whole pipe.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Kind of felt like a white dude to me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Pipe bombs left at the rn C and the d
NC is a bearded, fat white guy in a Carhart
jacket crime or a skinny Seattle.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
You're right hoodie guy and tefa hoodie right radical Marxist
politics baba.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Either way, Yeah a has a master's degree in something
that doesn't matter. But yeah, that's a white guy crime.
So I wasn't expecting a black guy. So so Jake did.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Jake ed live that because he wanted everyone to make
sure that they knew that he knows that white people
are bad. Or was that on his teleprompter for his
talking Eric had to repeat, or why.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Mention the race at all if you're not sure, or
even if you are sure, I'm not sure why it
makes any difference whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I think it actually might for reasons that we can
get into.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, let's listen to the ABC report on the finally
catching the guy five years later, and then we'll talk
about it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Brian Cole Junior was arrested and charged with placing the
pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Law enforcement swarming the home where he lives with his parents.
Authority said the arrest came not from a new tip,
but coming back through mill pieces of evidence, including cell
phone data that allegedly places a phone used by Cole
along the route the day the bombs were planted, a
photo that allegedly places his vehicle near the crime scene,
and financial transactions they say show Cole bought materials from
(02:15):
an area home depot that could be used to make bombs.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And he's a thirty year old dude that lives at
home and is described as he works for the family
business but only a couple hours a day, doesn't really
have any friends, walks around with headphones a lot picks
a dog.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Boats on his jiwawa jack.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
According to one report, I'm wondering if maybe he's, for
whatever reason, a youngster that's not cut out to go
out into the world to make a living, and then
they'd let him work at the family business a couple
hours a day.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Look, he was twenty five when he allegedly committed a crime.
You know, it sure looks to me like it's going
to be a disaffected, alienated young man with no attachment,
no partner, isolated, decided to get into radical politics. He
was and we've talked about this in the context of
(03:06):
the Charlie Kirk thing. Experts in the sort of thing
will tell you these people often they're angry and they
want to hurt somebody. Then they latch onto an ideology
quite late in the game and then commit an act
of violence almost immediately. They don't spend years campaigning for
that cause or whatever, sacrificing and thinking.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
In Oregon.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, they just think I would have hurt somebody. Here's
a cause. Yeah, I'm into that, let's hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's quite possible that at this point five years later,
he wishes he hadn't or has a completely different view
of the world or who knows.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, Yeah, sure, the growth from twenty five to thirty
is a lot, you know, the case by case obviously,
but that's a lot of insuring. So and I'm not
defending the guy. He did something abhorrent and terrible. Here's
a question for you. Because he was trying to bomb,
allegedly both the RNC and the dance twenty five year
(03:57):
old black man seven months after George Floyd got killed.
I'm thinking he was a Swede by the Neo Marxist
systemic racism. This country's corrupted needs to be brought down.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And the fact that it happened so close to the
January sixth ride is just a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, except that he might have known there was going
to be a big gathering in d C. Because he lived,
you know, in the suburbs. He might have thought, oh, hey,
this is perfect, this is perfect timing.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you think he was hoping those bombs would go
off and hurt her kill people.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That's one of the great questions to this case, because
it is said by the authorities they were both capable
of going off and causing terrible damage.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But didn't. Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's not a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was the January sixth, because there's a big rally
that day, but it had nothing to do with Stop
to Steal or the rally itself, I suspect, So I
think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So my my taking in of this information throughout the
day yesterday through mainstream media led me to believe that
it was a whole There was no new information that
was found. They took information that had already been gathered
and pieced it together and figured out who the guy was.
Now that's the way it was presented to me. It
was like, you know, it's not super easy if you
(05:15):
got a million different things to bring them all together
in a way that aha, you figure out who it is,
and that they just threw reopening the case and relooking
at it, figured it out. But you're saying cash Ptel says, no,
that's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, do we have that audio ready, I've got the
quote in front of me, but yeah, we do. Go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
As to this specific case, the pipe bomber, you're right,
the prior administration sat on the evidence for four years.
There wasn't any production of new evidence from five years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Here's what we did.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
We went out to the country, brought in our experts,
and Deputy Director Bongino led the charge and said, we're
going to look at every single piece of evidence again trace.
We looked at three million lines of evidence. We went
back and looked at the cell phone tower data dumps.
We went back and looked at the providers and what
information they provided, pursued to search warrant at the time
(06:06):
and asked questions such as why weren't all the phone
numbers scrubbed, and why weren't they connected? And why wasn't
there any geolocational data done? Now, that is either sheering
competence or complete intentional negligence, and neither of which is
acceptable for this FBI.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's a heck of a thing to say.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
That is really, really strong and presuming he was beaten
truthful with the they didn't scrub the phone numbers go
through them, you know anyway, why wasn't there any geolocational
data done? That's how they got the butcher of Idaho,
(06:41):
the killer of those poor college kids.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So hard to imagine why the Biden administration wouldn't have
been really hot to try to figure out who this was,
because I think they would have assumed it was a
Maga person that they could have you know, piled on
to that whole story.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So well, either Cash Mattel is wrong about what he
just said, or if he's right, this is an enormous
scandal slash question because sometimes, you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Know, when we all watch crime shows, we do, everybody does, movies, whatever,
sometimes a new detective can come along and look at
the same evidence and figure out something. It doesn't mean
that people before them were incompetent or corrupt, they just
didn't see it for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, but although he's just absolutely unequivocal, Yeah, no, he is.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, that was a scathing accusation. But like I said,
it doesn't make sense to me. I doubt that they
assumed that this would protect them in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One possible explanation, and I don't think this is true.
Probably it was that they figured out that it was
not a Maga person, that it was you know, a
young black democrat, but then covered it up.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's that's a stretch. Yeah, that is really a stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I mean, you'd have somebody in the FBI who would
leak the truth because most the vast majority of the
people in the FBI are serious patriotic Americans who are
trying to enforce the law and protect everybody. There are
some bad, bad apples back in the day in Washington,
d C. At headquarters, no doubt, but yes, this is
(08:21):
it's troubling. There's got to be an explanation to that question.
What happened in the last five years, So he didn't
he didn't have much of a footprint computer, social media wise,
or anything like that, so it's hard to know what
he was thinking, right this pipe bomber.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Dude, Mm hmm, yeah, huh, yeah, I would miss.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The biggest question to me is did he intend to
have those go off and hurt a bunch of people?
Or does he was he kind of like practically a
vandal in a real troll in a yeah, in a
really pathetic.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Sort of way.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, yeah, I certainly hope he has a good attorney
in the atturne and he's telling them look plead guilty
to everything and tell him everything they want to know
as your only hope anyway. Cheerier note here from Omaha Steaks.

(10:08):
Amahstakes dot Com used coat Armstrong singing This is all
the Way reminded me of that. The winter band concert
last night at my son's high school, and they had
the middle school play, then the junior high and then
the high school, all the band in in order, and
it got progressively better as it went along, of course,
as they got older and more talented and practiced up.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
But it's just it's so so so charming.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
The whole kids get dressed up in a way that
you never see them, and they're all nervous, and they're
up there and all the parents are there with their
phones out, and it's just so fantastic and they're focusing
on something for a pretty significant period of time, right
playing the songs that occurs to me, you know, just
in the wake of our conversation last hour about endorphin
hits and smartphone addictions.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I love that sort of thing. It was great. Yeah,
here we go. So's what it sounded like. Yep, there
you go. Yeah, the tempo, tempo tempo, what.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's If you don't know, that's me Joe Getty playing
trombone years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We might be doing that again next week. You still
have your trombone?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, we might have to break out
the trombone next week because you're gon we're gonna raise
some money. No, we're gonna raise some of that always
raises money. No, and then uh and then we all
have a really good time. You know it hurts my lips.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You don't want to, No, I don't want to. That's funny.
I was watching the band last night.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They get out to buy a trumpet, get back into
trumpet play and I haven't done it since high school?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Would it be pretty hard? But thank you? Pretty hard
to do?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You're umba, sure is it's it's getting your your lips
back in shape and your the muscles of your mouth
and face.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
That's it's a challenge, is it? So it sound insurmountable.
I mean you you play the piano every day. That's
that's harder than blowing into But I don't play it
with my lips. I gotta admit good. Yeah, So we
got other news we got to catch you up on. Oh,
I do want to get to the Josh Shapiro getting
so angry at Kamala Harris for lying about him in
(12:12):
her book. We have to get to that at some point.
But lots of other stuff on the way, stay here.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Armstrong, Heyyetty you Brook The Hunters.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That is a clip from the most popular movie in
the world this year, K Pop Demon Hunters. It is
the most watched film ever on Netflix, with more than
three hundred million views. It's the second most searched term
on Google the entire year. The soundtrack nominated for five Grammys.
There have been four top ten hits on Billboard's Hot
(12:46):
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Wow nominated for Grammys. I didn't know that. I don't
know anything about it. I just have heard about it,
and I've heard my kids, who are teenage boys, so
they particularly hate this sort of thing excellent and the
that it ever even gets brought up makes them angry.
But I did not realize that K Pop Demon Hunters
was the most streamed movie in Netflix history. That's something
(13:12):
I feel like I got to at least watch the
first fifteen minutes to have an idea of what the
hell it is.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Go ahead, tell me how you like it. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I was just thinking about movie reviews because I read
a long review by a pretentious bastard who writes about
movies that got sucked in just because the movie and
the premise of the movie and all were really interesting
to me. And then I went and watched the trailer,
and the trailer that the review was long, like in
pretentious and negative, and then I watched the trailer and
I thought I'd watch that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That looks enjoyable to me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Movie reviews should not be more than say, fifty words long,
and they shouldn't be about the reviewer, you know, pleasuring
himself or herself and showing how smart they are, and
oh man, that annoys me.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, And as you always point, it should be through
the lens of for people who like this sort of thing. Right,
If you like that sort of thing, you're gonna love
this movie. I don't like that sort of thing, so
I didn't like it, but you would love this because
it's a really good one.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Of these, right, exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Don't have the classical music writer review the latest punk album,
just don't anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
In news about Netflix, they're trying to acquire Warner Brothers
Film Studio and the stream service HBO Max would make,
which would make them even more of a behemoth than
they are. They're looking to just dominate that whole space
Netflix is and they're always already a five hundred pound
gorilla for whatever reason in the last hour that Donald
(14:45):
Trump has come out and said he's very got heavy
skepticism about whether or not this deal should happen. And
I don't know if it gets into the world of
monopolies or what they're I haven't seen there, gets into
the world of the Trump administration is way too willing
to interfere with commerce in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You know, I've got another hot take about Trump screwing
something up, and you know, here's here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Are you for Trump or against him? I'm for you,
I'm for taxpayers. He's for the America. Kil Getty's for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Speaking of Kamala Harris, some great Kamala Harris stuff coming up,
stay with us, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I just you know what it is.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's about the Somali thing in Minneapolis. This is an enormous, shining,
bipartisan admission that our welfare systems are utterly corrupt and
waste money. There's rampant fraud. It's absolutely disgusting, and it
is a horrific betrayal of the American taxpayer. And Trump
(15:47):
is making it about immigration.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You're right, Yeah, the Republicans should hammer this all the
way up to the election. Make it their issue welfare
fraud or all kinds of fraud, and but making it
specifically about the somalies is just only about the somomy.
It's just too easy to refute it as racism or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, right, yeah, and I'm not saying there's no issue.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
There absolutely is an issue with you know, allowing a
hostile culture to come in their tens of thousands. They
hate us, they hate our cultor they hate our world.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, that's one hundred percent an.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Issue, but it's not like the most useful issue here,
and it's not the core issue.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So Netflix to acquire Warner Brothers following that blah blah
blah blah blah value of eighty two point seven billion dollars.
I mean, these are some really big, giant companies that
are coming together. As a lot of people have pointed out,
there's a certain amount of bundling that's going on with
all these companies into one thing that's very similar to
what Cable used to be or you know, you got
(16:51):
it through dish or or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Although media is changing so fast, the idea that this
is a monopoly or that that is it's just no
it'll change so quickly. What's true today won't be true tomorrow.
It's like calling my Space a monopoly. You know, a
week later, nobody it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I tried to wean myself off a bunch of subscriptions
Hulu and Netflix and HBO, Max and Peacock and all
these other I've canceled liked them all six months, nine
months ago, and I've slowly added them back in as
a show comes along or a movie that you know,
me and my kids want to see, and it's only
on this one, so I sign up next thing. You know,
I got them all again. They got you, they got me, woof,
(17:32):
they got me. It's hard to get away. So Kamala
Harris wrote a really stupid book and went on a
stupid tour, and it got heavy reviews of how stupid
the whole thing was. She apparently lied about Governor Josh
Shapiro Pennsylvania. He did not dig that at all. We
have some quotes from him we can get to coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The famously measured Josh Shapiro lost his s and was
immediately regretful for it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, he's probably running for president. I don't know that
she is. Gavin definitely is.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
And the idea that that half what would run again,
I mean, that's that's too good to be true.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Christmas President. So we've got all that on the way.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Stay with us if you missed a second to get
the podcast, Armstrong and Getty. It is time for us
to do what we have been doing in that time
as every day there.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You go, her greatest hit. That's her, uh, that's her, her.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Emmy, her Oscar, her everything for Kamala Harris. And that's
what we're going to talk about here.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
To call Kamala Harris a mediocrity is to pay her
a compliment.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
She does not deserve.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You think about it, You think about Kamala Halfwit Harris
and Tim open Wallet Waltz. If that is not the
weakest ticket in American history, it is in the top five.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
She is the most qualified person to ever run for
president and America wasn't ready for a black female president.
Those are both absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So the Atlantic in the person of this Chap's named
Tim Alberta.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's a cool name.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He sounds like he ought to be some sort of
Americana singer, you know, acoustic guitar cowboy hat.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Tim Alberta. Yeah. Anyway, So he goes to.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Talk to Josh Shapiro about a couple of things, and
he says, I knew, from speaking to people close to
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Minister of Pennsylvania off the
rumored presidential candidate. He was looked at very seriously to
be Kamala Harris's running mate.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But he's a Jew. It's a good point anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That was the view of a lot of the left
wing of the Democratic Party who are flaming anti Semite. Anyway,
the guy writes, from speaking to people close to Shapiro,
I knew that he'd lost some respect for the former
vice president during the campaign, not simply because she shows
someone else as a running mate. In Shapiro's view, given
the near existential stakes for both the Democratic Party and
(19:59):
America Democracy, please, Harris's lapses during the election, in particularly
ignoring Joe Biden's obviously decline, were unforgivable, but he had
been careful not to say so publicly. Shapiro's kind of
the anti Trump, and that he's very measured and very strategic,
and he only plays his cards when he thinks it's
(20:20):
best to play them. Anyway, Uh, Shapiro knew I was
gonna ask him about Harris. What he didn't know is
that early copies of her book were then making the
rounds among reporters, having obtained the relevant sections of one
hundred and seven Days. And that morning I asked Shapiro
if Harris had given him and he heads up about
her books. She had not, he said, And I told him,
you know, Harris took some shots at you. Shapiro furred
(20:43):
his brow and crossed his arms. Okay, he said, I
love that.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I wouldn't have crossed my arms because that's just too
much of a giveaway.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
The man I observed over the next several minutes was unrecognizable.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Gone was his equilibrium.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
He moved between outrage and exasperation as I relaid the excerpts.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know why Harris, You know why he's so angry
before we even get into him. He has so little
respect for her. That's what makes him so mad. So
this dunderpate is coming at me. Oh, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This intellectual, lightweight, single party state slept her way to
the top.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Half wit who is coming at me? Ouch? Hey, if
the panties fit wear them?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Wow, that's right, another misogyny Friday the armstrong again.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, no, it's an accuracy. Truth is an absolute defense
against misogyny. Anyway, let's see, all right, the man I
observed unrecognizable. Gone was his equilibrium. He moved between outrage
and exasperation as that relayed the excerpts Harris had accused
him in essence of measuring the drapes, even inquiring about
featuring Pennsylvania artists and the vice presidential residence, of insisting
(21:57):
quote that he would want to be in the room
for every decision Harris might make, and more generally, of
hijacking the conversation when she interviewed him for the job,
to the point where she reminded them that you will
not be a co president.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
She wrote that in her book, he said, in response
to the claim, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Blah, that's complete and utter a bulls fed, using the
actual word, obviously, I can tell you that her accounts
are just blatant lies.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Wow, that's not measured. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
After reading Harris's book, talking with people from both camps,
I found descriptions of the meeting could be mostly consistent.
Shapiro arrived in an edgy mood, chafing at efforts among
fellow Democrats to Sabotagees tryout Shapiro is Jewish, was specially
irked by anti Semitic innuendo from the left. The two
skip past any semblance of small talk in Shapiro proceeded
(22:54):
to interview Harris rather than the other way around. I
did ask a bunch of questions, Shapiro told me, sounding exasperated.
Wouldn't you ask questions if someone was talking to you
about forming a partnership and working together?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, wait, you kind of YadA YadA, YadA this so
you're saying the interviewer from the Atlantic. The writer from
the Atlantic says, other people have told them that her
account is pretty consistent with what happened. Yes, okay, that's interesting.
Well that he was, he interviewed her. Yeah, well, I've
(23:26):
been in that sort of situation before. It really turns
me off. No, no, no, no, you've got this backwards.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And then he was annoyed because Harris was portraying him
in ways consistent with the whispers that had dogged him
throughout the vetting process and throughout his career that he
was selfish, petty, and monomoniacally ambitious given the fact that
they'd known each other for twenty years, Shapiro said with
a groan. I asked whether he felt betrayed. I mean,
(23:53):
she's trying to sell books and cover her ass, Shapiro snapped.
So Mitt stared past me, now shaking his head, blah
blah blah. Then quickly, I shouldn't say cover her ass.
I think that's not appropriate. She's trying to sell books, period.
He collected it too late.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sorry, you just said to a reporter in an interview
on the record. At that point, there's no fixing. So
I was about to say, is he angry because she
let out what actually happened or angry? But no, he
says blatant lies. So he's claiming that that's not the
way I went down. Uh yeah, the blatant lies part.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Referring to well, complete and utter bull spit that he
was practically measuring the drapes and inquired about featuring Pennsylvania
artists and the vice presidential residence and the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Who knows, who knows? Well?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Did he actually say I need to be in the
room for every decision.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I don't know. I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, I have nothing more to say about Josh Shapiro
and his prospects.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Honestly, I didn't care.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I just thought it was funny that he caught out
Kamala Harris so forcefully and interview on the record.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Right, Yeah, I'd like to know what actually happened there.
I could see him going led it though you nailed it.
He has no respect.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
He went in with that attitude with no respect for her,
so he probably was a little over the top. He
went in with the you're kind of an accidental You're
like a gerald Ford style president, just like the all
these dominoes fell in such a way that you might
end up president.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I would be doing you a favor by lending you
my gravitas, right, and you're too stupid to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's how I feel. Well, as it.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Turns out, she's not quite that stupid, and in her
book she calls him out for coming in with some tude.
So now we know precisely how stupid she is and
how stupid she's not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
She noticed that.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Hmm. Well, remember, and this is getting into the weeds
a little bit on this sort of thing, but remember
the way she ended up being the running mate was
a couple of different things. But when Biden was looking
for his vice presidential running mate, a lot of the
names that floated up all of a sudden appo research
(26:06):
would get dumped on these people, and Biden knew it
was coming from Kamala, and he liked the fact that, Okay,
she understands how this game is played, and she and
she is ready to throw elbows to get what she wants.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's what he liked about her.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So it's possible that she is incompetent in all kinds
of different ways, and she clearly is, but not in
the ways of fighting dirty in politics to get ahead,
which is how she rose to the you know that,
and maybe being a little hot and a little willing
to be friends to certain people.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Billy Brown was charming. I met Willie Brown, I was.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Charmed or uh, yeah, oh, she's unquestionably a skilled climber.
I mean, look at what she's you know, the jobs
she's held and done very badly at.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But yeah, skilled climber. You got to give her that.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
One of the reasons I'd never make it in politics,
and there's like a million reasons, is uh, you've got
to be willing to just realize it's part of the deal.
Everybody screws everybody. Nobody's friends with anybody. You're friendly to
somebody on a moment by moment basis, if it helps you,
you'll turn on them a second later, and then you
go back to being friends five minutes later. If you've
switched to a different topic. And I couldn't. I would
(27:14):
never be able to live like that. We're we're either
friends or we're not.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
But plus, Michael and I have been compiling a catalog
of your you know, your missteps for years.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
In fact, we had to start a second volume, so yeah,
there might be a third.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Give it a while anyway, Thank god, we don't have
to worry about presidential politics for a Oh, Gavin Newsom
just gave a speech in South Carolina. Yeah what, Yeah,
I know. I mean I need to pay attention to it.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I am paying attention to this because I get them

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Remember when I was interacting with that woman who was
claiming we were in a relationship, and I was just
trying to see how far the scam would go or
when she would ask me for money or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, the email thing. Yeah, where was she was?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
She was were Ukrainian or Russian or something like that anyway,
And I still don't know how she I got my
email address originally, but at some point I don't know.
It's just the mood I was in that day. I
just was tired of dealing with it because I had
played along for quite some time, and she'd send me
these pictures and talk about how in love we were beautiful.
(29:19):
I finally sent her I said, hey, you know, I
just have gotten busy and I don't have time to
go along with this anymore. So I've been playing along
with this just to see when you were going to
finally ask for money.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And I said, I'm just curious, like it.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Doesn't bother you at all, that you play upon people's
emotions and like lonely desperate people think you actually like them,
and then you make some money off of it, that
you sleep okay at night with that act.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And then I just never heard anything back from her.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Of course, what do you think they might have replied,
as I've brought this story to you that look, I'm
an Indonesian fisherman. I was snatched up by the Chinese.
I'm being held against my will. Hmmm, they make me
do this all day long?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
How do you feel about that? Huh, that's what I think. Thought. Now,
if you'll excuse me, I'm off to scam somebody else.
Oh so, no, I'm supposed to feel bad.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Right, Yes, should think about somebody other thane of yourself
for once, fisherman, how about that?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah? Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
So the whole multi zillion dollar climate scam is on
the rocks and for a good reason, but the climate
activists seem to have no concept of why that is.
It's not that people have woken up to the giant
scam and how it's crippled economies without doing any good.
It's misinformation and disinformation by evildoers has swayed the minds
(30:37):
of people.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hopefully that ruse is over, we'll talk about that. No
stuff on the way.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Stay here.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Well, guys, we've eventually kicked off the holiday season, and
they're always filled with little highs and lows. The high
when your child enjoys a candy cane, and a low
when they suck it down to a ship and say.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Get me a little boo boo. Or else.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
There's a high when opening an advent calendar and a
low when realizing all the chocolate expired during.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The Reagan administration. So it be great, I said.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
There's a high wind seeing Santa at the mall, and
the low when the whiskey and Santa's breast singes.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Your nose hair. And finally there's a high.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
When attending your office Christmas party, and then there's a
low when attending a private party the next day.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In hr it all evens out. Do we have any
kind of Christmas party? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:33):
We do.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We have some sort of lunch. When is that next week?
That's a check that's jack to date. But yeah, okay,
I should go to that a Christmas lunch. Nothing says
festivities more than lunch. Is in the building? Is it
here in the building?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I remember back in the old days when you had
real Christmas parties and people bring their spouses and get
dressed up.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Those are awesome good times. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I have no interest in the who's a better basketball player,
Lebron James or Michael Jordan. You can't drag me into
that conversation. But an interesting record came to an end
last night for Lebron James, who might finally be old
at age forty. He had a Hall of Fame level
season last year. If he'd averaged what he averaged last
year his whole career, he'd be in the Hall of
(32:23):
Fame at age thirty nine. This year, he's dropped off
quite a bit, and last night, for the first time
in many, many years, he scored less than ten points
in a game, ending his record streak of almost thirteen
hundred consecutive games of scoring at least ten points in
a game.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
He scored eight last night.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He did, to his credit, by the way, have a
chance to make ten points at the Veria in the game,
but he passed the ball to somebody else. They scored
the winning basket. He was asked afterwards, you have any regrets,
He said, no, we won.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
That's the whole goal.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Twelve hundred and ninety seven consecutive games. Second place by
Michael Jordan is eight sixty six, four.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Hundred games shorter. I mean, that's stunning.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Some of the numbers that Lebron has are just amazing,
you know, for how long he's played at such a
high level. But he might finally be old, So this
has got to be his last season. I would assume,
although time is undefeated, but it sure had to fight hard.
In his case, God, I would say, so had to
hang in there. I don't know why this story didn't
get more attention.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I just became aware of it myself.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
There was an effort, it looks like, to assassinate President
Zelensky on his trip to Dublin the other day, as
four drones converged in his flight path after he had
flown through so his plane arrived early, and it really
(33:53):
looks like that four drones and nobody's exactly sure where
they came from, please converted right where his plane was
going to be coming into the landing strip there, and
they're still trying to figure that all that out plane
got there earlier, and it was supposed to him the
drones would would have gotten there right when his plane
(34:13):
had gotten there and shot.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Him out of this guy possibly.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And I was reading one of my favorite thinkers saying,
this is where we are, that there's just so much
stuff going on all the time that a close call
assassination attempt on a world leader in the middle of
a war with all these peace negotiations happening doesn't even really.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Make the news right right, Well, there are a lot
of examples of that. It's just got to kind of
catch on, like this Somali ripoff in Minnesota story. Yeah,
that story's a couple of years old. Hell, we had
it eighteen months ago, I think. But now all of
a sudden it's the biggest thing in politics, partly because
Trump latched onto it and is talking about it, and
(34:57):
all of a sudden, like the New York Times has decided, Yeah,
we probably ought to write about this. So's just too
much going on, it's too wild.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I mentioned yesterday that one of the great AI thinkers
predicting what it's going to be like in the future,
the way AI is gonna destroy civilization, if not destroy
you know, all human beings, is everything is just gonna
become so confusing. We're just gonna be so inundated with
crap all the time that you don't know what's true
(35:25):
and what's not and what's really happening, and just there's
just so much blah constantly, And I, like Joe said,
it feels like we're halfway there already.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
I have two completely contradictory thoughts on that. The first
one is the becoming zen or confusion or praying ceaselessly
or whatever. A lot more people are gonna embrace that,
they're gonna check out completely from the information economy and
try to live simple lives. My completely oppositional thought to
that is that the evil doers will have enormous powers
(36:01):
and we all need to be on our guard. Yeah,
it's definitely a fever pitch confusing age we're moving into.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Well, so you mean, like checking out individually really good
for you, but not is not going to help society
if people that checked out can't really be motivated to
get in to do anything.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, I'm not sure they could do anything anyway, depending
on which way the AI thing goes and who gets
it and how they use it. I realized this is
all kind of terrifying and dislocating. I would concentrate on
the world close to you.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
There's nothing much I can do about this stuff, so
I don't worry about it?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Or is there?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
It creeps into my dream sometimes and I wake up
screaming and weeping.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Could we get regulations in place to slow down this train?
Or is it just impossible? No? No, okay, well then
you have any other question in sports and weather exactly?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No, what about the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
As I always say, if you missed a segment of
an hour get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
More coming an hour three Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
And Joe Getty arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong
and Yetty. I am Cole Jr.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
A thirty year old white man from the DC Suburbs,
is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce
and with malicious destruction. Now, if you follow the story
throughout today, it was not a white man white. Jake
Tapper went with he was a white guy. Now, I
got to admit I was expecting a white guy. The
whole pipe.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Kind of felt like a white dude to me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Pipe bombs left at the rn C and the d
NC is a bearded, fat white guy in a Carhart
jacket crime or a skinny Seattle.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
You're right hoodie guy and tefa hoodie right radical Marxist
politics baba.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Either way, Yeah a has a master's degree in something
that doesn't matter. But yeah, that's a white guy crime.
So I wasn't expecting a black guy. So so Jake did.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Jake ed live that because he wanted everyone to make
sure that they knew that he knows that white people
are bad. Or was that on his teleprompter for his
talking Eric had to repeat, or why.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Mention the race at all if you're not sure, or
even if you are sure, I'm not sure why it
makes any difference whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I think it actually might for reasons that we can
get into.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, let's listen to the ABC report on the finally
catching the guy five years later, and then we'll talk
about it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Brian Cole Junior was arrested and charged with placing the
pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Law enforcement swarming the home where he lives with his parents.
Authority said the arrest came not from a new tip,
but coming back through mill pieces of evidence, including cell
phone data that allegedly places a phone used by Cole
along the route the day the bombs were planted, a
photo that allegedly places his vehicle near the crime scene,
and financial transactions they say show Cole bought materials from
(02:15):
an area home depot that could be used to make bombs.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And he's a thirty year old dude that lives at
home and is described as he works for the family
business but only a couple hours a day, doesn't really
have any friends, walks around with headphones a lot picks
a dog.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Boats on his jiwawa jack.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
According to one report, I'm wondering if maybe he's, for
whatever reason, a youngster that's not cut out to go
out into the world to make a living, and then
they'd let him work at the family business a couple
hours a day.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, this guy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Look, he was twenty five when he allegedly committed a crime.
You know, it sure looks to me like it's going
to be a disaffected, alienated young man with no attachment,
no partner, isolated, decided to get into radical politics. He
was and we've talked about this in the context of
(03:06):
the Charlie Kirk thing. Experts in the sort of thing
will tell you these people often they're angry and they
want to hurt somebody. Then they latch onto an ideology
quite late in the game and then commit an act
of violence almost immediately. They don't spend years campaigning for
that cause or whatever, sacrificing and thinking.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
In Oregon.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, they just think I would have hurt somebody. Here's
a cause. Yeah, I'm into that, let's hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's quite possible that at this point five years later,
he wishes he hadn't or has a completely different view
of the world or who knows.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, Yeah, sure, the growth from twenty five to thirty
is a lot, you know, the case by case obviously,
but that's a lot of insuring. So and I'm not
defending the guy. He did something abhorrent and terrible. Here's
a question for you. Because he was trying to bomb,
allegedly both the RNC and the dance twenty five year
(03:57):
old black man seven months after George Floyd got killed.
I'm thinking he was a Swede by the Neo Marxist
systemic racism. This country's corrupted needs to be brought down.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And the fact that it happened so close to the
January sixth ride is just a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, except that he might have known there was going
to be a big gathering in d C. Because he lived,
you know, in the suburbs. He might have thought, oh, hey,
this is perfect, this is perfect timing.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you think he was hoping those bombs would go
off and hurt her kill people.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That's one of the great questions to this case, because
it is said by the authorities they were both capable
of going off and causing terrible damage.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But didn't. Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's not a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was the January sixth, because there's a big rally
that day, but it had nothing to do with Stop
to Steal or the rally itself, I suspect, So I
think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So my my taking in of this information throughout the
day yesterday through mainstream media led me to believe that
it was a whole There was no new information that
was found. They took information that had already been gathered
and pieced it together and figured out who the guy was.
Now that's the way it was presented to me. It
was like, you know, it's not super easy if you
(05:15):
got a million different things to bring them all together
in a way that aha, you figure out who it is,
and that they just threw reopening the case and relooking
at it, figured it out. But you're saying cash Ptel says, no,
that's not what happened.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, do we have that audio ready, I've got the
quote in front of me, but yeah, we do. Go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
As to this specific case, the pipe bomber, you're right,
the prior administration sat on the evidence for four years.
There wasn't any production of new evidence from five years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Here's what we did.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
We went out to the country, brought in our experts,
and Deputy Director Bongino led the charge and said, we're
going to look at every single piece of evidence again trace.
We looked at three million lines of evidence. We went
back and looked at the cell phone tower data dumps.
We went back and looked at the providers and what
information they provided, pursued to search warrant at the time
(06:06):
and asked questions such as why weren't all the phone
numbers scrubbed, and why weren't they connected? And why wasn't
there any geolocational data done? Now, that is either sheering
competence or complete intentional negligence, and neither of which is
acceptable for this FBI.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That's a heck of a thing to say.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
That is really, really strong and presuming he was beaten
truthful with the they didn't scrub the phone numbers go
through them, you know anyway, why wasn't there any geolocational
data done? That's how they got the butcher of Idaho,
(06:41):
the killer of those poor college kids.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So hard to imagine why the Biden administration wouldn't have
been really hot to try to figure out who this was,
because I think they would have assumed it was a
Maga person that they could have you know, piled on
to that whole story.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So well, either Cash Mattel is wrong about what he
just said, or if he's right, this is an enormous
scandal slash question because sometimes, you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Know, when we all watch crime shows, we do, everybody does, movies, whatever,
sometimes a new detective can come along and look at
the same evidence and figure out something. It doesn't mean
that people before them were incompetent or corrupt, they just
didn't see it for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, but although he's just absolutely unequivocal, Yeah, no, he is.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, that was a scathing accusation. But like I said,
it doesn't make sense to me. I doubt that they
assumed that this would protect them in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One possible explanation, and I don't think this is true.
Probably it was that they figured out that it was
not a Maga person, that it was you know, a
young black democrat, but then covered it up.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's that's a stretch. Yeah, that is really a stretch.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I mean, you'd have somebody in the FBI who would
leak the truth because most the vast majority of the
people in the FBI are serious patriotic Americans who are
trying to enforce the law and protect everybody. There are
some bad, bad apples back in the day in Washington,
d C. At headquarters, no doubt, but yes, this is
(08:21):
it's troubling. There's got to be an explanation to that question.
What happened in the last five years, So he didn't
he didn't have much of a footprint computer, social media wise,
or anything like that, so it's hard to know what
he was thinking, right this pipe bomber.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Dude, Mm hmm, yeah, huh, yeah, I would miss.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The biggest question to me is did he intend to
have those go off and hurt a bunch of people?
Or does he was he kind of like practically a
vandal in a real troll in a yeah, in a
really pathetic.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Sort of way.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, yeah, I certainly hope he has a good attorney
in the atturne and he's telling them look plead guilty
to everything and tell him everything they want to know
as your only hope anyway. Cheerier note here from Omaha Steaks.

on something for a pretty significant period of time, right
playing the songs that occurs to me, you know, just
in the wake of our conversation last hour about endorphin
hits and smartphone addictions.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I love that sort of thing. It was great. Yeah,
here we go. So's what it sounded like. Yep, there
you go. Yeah, the tempo, tempo tempo, what.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That's If you don't know, that's me Joe Getty playing
trombone years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We might be doing that again next week. You still
have your trombone?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, we might have to break out
the trombone next week because you're gon we're gonna raise
some money. No, we're gonna raise some of that always
raises money. No, and then uh and then we all
have a really good time. You know it hurts my lips.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You don't want to, No, I don't want to. That's funny.
I was watching the band last night.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
They get out to buy a trumpet, get back into
trumpet play and I haven't done it since high school?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Would it be pretty hard? But thank you? Pretty hard
to do?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
You're umba, sure is it's it's getting your your lips
back in shape and your the muscles of your mouth
and face.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
That's it's a challenge, is it? So it sound insurmountable.
I mean you you play the piano every day. That's
that's harder than blowing into But I don't play it
with my lips. I gotta admit good. Yeah, So we
got other news we got to catch you up on. Oh,
I do want to get to the Josh Shapiro getting
so angry at Kamala Harris for lying about him in
(12:12):
her book. We have to get to that at some point.
But lots of other stuff on the way, stay here.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Armstrong, Heyyetty you Brook The Hunters.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
That is a clip from the most popular movie in
the world this year, K Pop Demon Hunters. It is
the most watched film ever on Netflix, with more than
three hundred million views. It's the second most searched term
on Google the entire year. The soundtrack nominated for five Grammys.
There have been four top ten hits on Billboard's Hot
(12:46):
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Wow nominated for Grammys. I didn't know that. I don't
know anything about it. I just have heard about it,
and I've heard my kids, who are teenage boys, so
they particularly hate this sort of thing excellent and the
that it ever even gets brought up makes them angry.
But I did not realize that K Pop Demon Hunters
was the most streamed movie in Netflix history. That's something
(13:12):
I feel like I got to at least watch the
first fifteen minutes to have an idea of what the
hell it is.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Go ahead, tell me how you like it. You know.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I was just thinking about movie reviews because I read
a long review by a pretentious bastard who writes about
movies that got sucked in just because the movie and
the premise of the movie and all were really interesting
to me. And then I went and watched the trailer,
and the trailer that the review was long, like in
pretentious and negative, and then I watched the trailer and
I thought I'd watch that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That looks enjoyable to me.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Movie reviews should not be more than say, fifty words long,
and they shouldn't be about the reviewer, you know, pleasuring
himself or herself and showing how smart they are, and
oh man, that annoys me.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, And as you always point, it should be through
the lens of for people who like this sort of thing. Right,
If you like that sort of thing, you're gonna love
this movie. I don't like that sort of thing, so
I didn't like it, but you would love this because
it's a really good one.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Of these, right, exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Don't have the classical music writer review the latest punk album,
just don't anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
In news about Netflix, they're trying to acquire Warner Brothers
Film Studio and the stream service HBO Max would make,
which would make them even more of a behemoth than
they are. They're looking to just dominate that whole space
Netflix is and they're always already a five hundred pound
gorilla for whatever reason in the last hour that Donald
(14:45):
Trump has come out and said he's very got heavy
skepticism about whether or not this deal should happen. And
I don't know if it gets into the world of
monopolies or what they're I haven't seen there, gets into
the world of the Trump administration is way too willing
to interfere with commerce in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
You know, I've got another hot take about Trump screwing
something up, and you know, here's here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Are you for Trump or against him? I'm for you,
I'm for taxpayers. He's for the America. Kil Getty's for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Speaking of Kamala Harris, some great Kamala Harris stuff coming up,
stay with us, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I just you know what it is.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's about the Somali thing in Minneapolis. This is an enormous, shining,
bipartisan admission that our welfare systems are utterly corrupt and
waste money. There's rampant fraud. It's absolutely disgusting, and it
is a horrific betrayal of the American taxpayer. And Trump
(15:47):
is making it about immigration.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You're right, Yeah, the Republicans should hammer this all the
way up to the election. Make it their issue welfare
fraud or all kinds of fraud, and but making it
specifically about the somalies is just only about the somomy.
It's just too easy to refute it as racism or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, right, yeah, and I'm not saying there's no issue.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
There absolutely is an issue with you know, allowing a
hostile culture to come in their tens of thousands. They
hate us, they hate our cultor they hate our world.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, that's one hundred percent an.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Issue, but it's not like the most useful issue here,
and it's not the core issue.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So Netflix to acquire Warner Brothers following that blah blah
blah blah blah value of eighty two point seven billion dollars.
I mean, these are some really big, giant companies that
are coming together. As a lot of people have pointed out,
there's a certain amount of bundling that's going on with
all these companies into one thing that's very similar to
what Cable used to be or you know, you got
(16:51):
it through dish or or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Although media is changing so fast, the idea that this
is a monopoly or that that is it's just no
it'll change so quickly. What's true today won't be true tomorrow.
It's like calling my Space a monopoly. You know, a
week later, nobody it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I tried to wean myself off a bunch of subscriptions
Hulu and Netflix and HBO, Max and Peacock and all
these other I've canceled liked them all six months, nine
months ago, and I've slowly added them back in as
a show comes along or a movie that you know,
me and my kids want to see, and it's only
on this one, so I sign up next thing. You know,
I got them all again. They got you, they got me, woof,
(17:32):
they got me. It's hard to get away. So Kamala
Harris wrote a really stupid book and went on a
stupid tour, and it got heavy reviews of how stupid
the whole thing was. She apparently lied about Governor Josh
Shapiro Pennsylvania. He did not dig that at all. We
have some quotes from him we can get to coming up.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
The famously measured Josh Shapiro lost his s and was
immediately regretful for it.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, he's probably running for president. I don't know that
she is. Gavin definitely is.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
And the idea that that half what would run again,
I mean, that's that's too good to be true.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Christmas President. So we've got all that on the way.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Stay with us if you missed a second to get
the podcast, Armstrong and Getty. It is time for us
to do what we have been doing in that time
as every day there.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
You go, her greatest hit. That's her, uh, that's her, her.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Emmy, her Oscar, her everything for Kamala Harris. And that's
what we're going to talk about here.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
To call Kamala Harris a mediocrity is to pay her
a compliment.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
She does not deserve.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
You think about it, You think about Kamala Halfwit Harris
and Tim open Wallet Waltz. If that is not the
weakest ticket in American history, it is in the top five.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
She is the most qualified person to ever run for
president and America wasn't ready for a black female president.
Those are both absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
So the Atlantic in the person of this Chap's named
Tim Alberta.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's a cool name.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
He sounds like he ought to be some sort of
Americana singer, you know, acoustic guitar cowboy hat.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Tim Alberta. Yeah. Anyway, So he goes to.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Talk to Josh Shapiro about a couple of things, and
he says, I knew, from speaking to people close to
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Minister of Pennsylvania off the
rumored presidential candidate. He was looked at very seriously to
be Kamala Harris's running mate.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But he's a Jew. It's a good point anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That was the view of a lot of the left
wing of the Democratic Party who are flaming anti Semite. Anyway,
the guy writes, from speaking to people close to Shapiro,
I knew that he'd lost some respect for the former
vice president during the campaign, not simply because she shows
someone else as a running mate. In Shapiro's view, given
the near existential stakes for both the Democratic Party and
(19:59):
America Democracy, please, Harris's lapses during the election, in particularly
ignoring Joe Biden's obviously decline, were unforgivable, but he had
been careful not to say so publicly. Shapiro's kind of
the anti Trump, and that he's very measured and very strategic,
and he only plays his cards when he thinks it's
(20:20):
best to play them. Anyway, Uh, Shapiro knew I was
gonna ask him about Harris. What he didn't know is
that early copies of her book were then making the
rounds among reporters, having obtained the relevant sections of one
hundred and seven Days. And that morning I asked Shapiro
if Harris had given him and he heads up about
her books. She had not, he said, And I told him,
you know, Harris took some shots at you. Shapiro furred
(20:43):
his brow and crossed his arms. Okay, he said, I
love that.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I wouldn't have crossed my arms because that's just too
much of a giveaway.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
The man I observed over the next several minutes was unrecognizable.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Gone was his equilibrium.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
He moved between outrage and exasperation as I relaid the excerpts.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know why Harris, You know why he's so angry
before we even get into him. He has so little
respect for her. That's what makes him so mad. So
this dunderpate is coming at me. Oh, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
This intellectual, lightweight, single party state slept her way to
the top.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Half wit who is coming at me? Ouch? Hey, if
the panties fit wear them?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Wow, that's right, another misogyny Friday the armstrong again.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, no, it's an accuracy. Truth is an absolute defense
against misogyny. Anyway, let's see, all right, the man I
observed unrecognizable. Gone was his equilibrium. He moved between outrage
and exasperation as that relayed the excerpts Harris had accused
him in essence of measuring the drapes, even inquiring about
featuring Pennsylvania artists and the vice presidential residence, of insisting
(21:57):
quote that he would want to be in the room
for every decision Harris might make, and more generally, of
hijacking the conversation when she interviewed him for the job,
to the point where she reminded them that you will
not be a co president.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
She wrote that in her book, he said, in response
to the claim, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Blah, that's complete and utter a bulls fed, using the
actual word, obviously, I can tell you that her accounts
are just blatant lies.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Wow, that's not measured. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
After reading Harris's book, talking with people from both camps,
I found descriptions of the meeting could be mostly consistent.
Shapiro arrived in an edgy mood, chafing at efforts among
fellow Democrats to Sabotagees tryout Shapiro is Jewish, was specially
irked by anti Semitic innuendo from the left. The two
skip past any semblance of small talk in Shapiro proceeded
(22:54):
to interview Harris rather than the other way around. I
did ask a bunch of questions, Shapiro told me, sounding exasperated.
Wouldn't you ask questions if someone was talking to you
about forming a partnership and working together?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, wait, you kind of YadA YadA, YadA this so
you're saying the interviewer from the Atlantic. The writer from
the Atlantic says, other people have told them that her
account is pretty consistent with what happened. Yes, okay, that's interesting.
Well that he was, he interviewed her. Yeah, well, I've
(23:26):
been in that sort of situation before. It really turns
me off. No, no, no, no, you've got this backwards.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
And then he was annoyed because Harris was portraying him
in ways consistent with the whispers that had dogged him
throughout the vetting process and throughout his career that he
was selfish, petty, and monomoniacally ambitious given the fact that
they'd known each other for twenty years, Shapiro said with
a groan. I asked whether he felt betrayed. I mean,
(23:53):
she's trying to sell books and cover her ass, Shapiro snapped.
So Mitt stared past me, now shaking his head, blah
blah blah. Then quickly, I shouldn't say cover her ass.
I think that's not appropriate. She's trying to sell books, period.
He collected it too late.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Sorry, you just said to a reporter in an interview
on the record. At that point, there's no fixing. So
I was about to say, is he angry because she
let out what actually happened or angry? But no, he
says blatant lies. So he's claiming that that's not the
way I went down. Uh yeah, the blatant lies part.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Referring to well, complete and utter bull spit that he
was practically measuring the drapes and inquired about featuring Pennsylvania
artists and the vice presidential residence and the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Who knows, who knows? Well?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Did he actually say I need to be in the
room for every decision.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I don't know. I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, I have nothing more to say about Josh Shapiro
and his prospects.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Honestly, I didn't care.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I just thought it was funny that he caught out
Kamala Harris so forcefully and interview on the record.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Right, Yeah, I'd like to know what actually happened there.
I could see him going led it though you nailed it.
He has no respect.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
He went in with that attitude with no respect for her,
so he probably was a little over the top. He
went in with the you're kind of an accidental You're
like a gerald Ford style president, just like the all
these dominoes fell in such a way that you might
end up president.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I would be doing you a favor by lending you
my gravitas, right, and you're too stupid to understand.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's how I feel. Well, as it.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Turns out, she's not quite that stupid, and in her
book she calls him out for coming in with some tude.
So now we know precisely how stupid she is and
how stupid she's not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
She noticed that.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Hmm. Well, remember, and this is getting into the weeds
a little bit on this sort of thing, but remember
the way she ended up being the running mate was
a couple of different things. But when Biden was looking
for his vice presidential running mate, a lot of the
names that floated up all of a sudden appo research
(26:06):
would get dumped on these people, and Biden knew it
was coming from Kamala, and he liked the fact that, Okay,
she understands how this game is played, and she and
she is ready to throw elbows to get what she wants.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's what he liked about her.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So it's possible that she is incompetent in all kinds
of different ways, and she clearly is, but not in
the ways of fighting dirty in politics to get ahead,
which is how she rose to the you know that,
and maybe being a little hot and a little willing
to be friends to certain people.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Billy Brown was charming. I met Willie Brown, I was.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Charmed or uh, yeah, oh, she's unquestionably a skilled climber.
I mean, look at what she's you know, the jobs
she's held and done very badly at.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But yeah, skilled climber. You got to give her that.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
One of the reasons I'd never make it in politics,
and there's like a million reasons, is uh, you've got
to be willing to just realize it's part of the deal.
Everybody screws everybody. Nobody's friends with anybody. You're friendly to
somebody on a moment by moment basis, if it helps you,
you'll turn on them a second later, and then you
go back to being friends five minutes later. If you've
switched to a different topic. And I couldn't. I would
(27:14):
never be able to live like that. We're we're either
friends or we're not.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
But plus, Michael and I have been compiling a catalog
of your you know, your missteps for years.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
In fact, we had to start a second volume, so yeah,
there might be a third.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Give it a while anyway, Thank god, we don't have
to worry about presidential politics for a Oh, Gavin Newsom
just gave a speech in South Carolina. Yeah what, Yeah,
I know. I mean I need to pay attention to it.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I am paying attention to this because I get them

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Remember when I was interacting with that woman who was
claiming we were in a relationship, and I was just
trying to see how far the scam would go or
when she would ask me for money or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, the email thing. Yeah, where was she was?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
She was were Ukrainian or Russian or something like that anyway,
And I still don't know how she I got my
email address originally, but at some point I don't know.
It's just the mood I was in that day. I
just was tired of dealing with it because I had
played along for quite some time, and she'd send me
these pictures and talk about how in love we were beautiful.
(29:19):
I finally sent her I said, hey, you know, I
just have gotten busy and I don't have time to
go along with this anymore. So I've been playing along
with this just to see when you were going to
finally ask for money.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
And I said, I'm just curious, like it.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Doesn't bother you at all, that you play upon people's
emotions and like lonely desperate people think you actually like them,
and then you make some money off of it, that
you sleep okay at night with that act.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And then I just never heard anything back from her.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Of course, what do you think they might have replied,
as I've brought this story to you that look, I'm
an Indonesian fisherman. I was snatched up by the Chinese.
I'm being held against my will. Hmmm, they make me
do this all day long?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
How do you feel about that? Huh, that's what I think. Thought. Now,
if you'll excuse me, I'm off to scam somebody else.
Oh so, no, I'm supposed to feel bad.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Right, Yes, should think about somebody other thane of yourself
for once, fisherman, how about that?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah? Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
So the whole multi zillion dollar climate scam is on
the rocks and for a good reason, but the climate
activists seem to have no concept of why that is.
It's not that people have woken up to the giant
scam and how it's crippled economies without doing any good.
It's misinformation and disinformation by evildoers has swayed the minds
(30:37):
of people.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Hopefully that ruse is over, we'll talk about that. No
stuff on the way.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Stay here.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
Well, guys, we've eventually kicked off the holiday season, and
they're always filled with little highs and lows. The high
when your child enjoys a candy cane, and a low
when they suck it down to a ship and say.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Get me a little boo boo. Or else.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
There's a high when opening an advent calendar and a
low when realizing all the chocolate expired during.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The Reagan administration. So it be great, I said.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
There's a high wind seeing Santa at the mall, and
the low when the whiskey and Santa's breast singes.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Your nose hair. And finally there's a high.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
When attending your office Christmas party, and then there's a
low when attending a private party the next day.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In hr it all evens out. Do we have any
kind of Christmas party? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:33):
We do.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
We have some sort of lunch. When is that next week?
That's a check that's jack to date. But yeah, okay,
I should go to that a Christmas lunch. Nothing says
festivities more than lunch. Is in the building? Is it
here in the building?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I remember back in the old days when you had
real Christmas parties and people bring their spouses and get
dressed up.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Those are awesome good times. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I have no interest in the who's a better basketball player,
Lebron James or Michael Jordan. You can't drag me into
that conversation. But an interesting record came to an end
last night for Lebron James, who might finally be old
at age forty. He had a Hall of Fame level
season last year. If he'd averaged what he averaged last
year his whole career, he'd be in the Hall of
(32:23):
Fame at age thirty nine. This year, he's dropped off
quite a bit, and last night, for the first time
in many, many years, he scored less than ten points
in a game, ending his record streak of almost thirteen
hundred consecutive games of scoring at least ten points in
a game.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
He scored eight last night.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
He did, to his credit, by the way, have a
chance to make ten points at the Veria in the game,
but he passed the ball to somebody else. They scored
the winning basket. He was asked afterwards, you have any regrets,
He said, no, we won.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
That's the whole goal.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Twelve hundred and ninety seven consecutive games. Second place by
Michael Jordan is eight sixty six, four.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Hundred games shorter. I mean, that's stunning.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Some of the numbers that Lebron has are just amazing,
you know, for how long he's played at such a
high level. But he might finally be old, So this
has got to be his last season. I would assume,
although time is undefeated, but it sure had to fight hard.
In his case, God, I would say, so had to
hang in there. I don't know why this story didn't
get more attention.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I just became aware of it myself.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
There was an effort, it looks like, to assassinate President
Zelensky on his trip to Dublin the other day, as
four drones converged in his flight path after he had
flown through so his plane arrived early, and it really
(33:53):
looks like that four drones and nobody's exactly sure where
they came from, please converted right where his plane was
going to be coming into the landing strip there, and
they're still trying to figure that all that out plane
got there earlier, and it was supposed to him the
drones would would have gotten there right when his plane
(34:13):
had gotten there and shot.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Him out of this guy possibly.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And I was reading one of my favorite thinkers saying,
this is where we are, that there's just so much
stuff going on all the time that a close call
assassination attempt on a world leader in the middle of
a war with all these peace negotiations happening doesn't even really.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Make the news right right, Well, there are a lot
of examples of that. It's just got to kind of
catch on, like this Somali ripoff in Minnesota story. Yeah,
that story's a couple of years old. Hell, we had
it eighteen months ago, I think. But now all of
a sudden it's the biggest thing in politics, partly because
Trump latched onto it and is talking about it, and
(34:57):
all of a sudden, like the New York Times has decided, Yeah,
we probably ought to write about this. So's just too
much going on, it's too wild.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I mentioned yesterday that one of the great AI thinkers
predicting what it's going to be like in the future,
the way AI is gonna destroy civilization, if not destroy
you know, all human beings, is everything is just gonna
become so confusing. We're just gonna be so inundated with
crap all the time that you don't know what's true
(35:25):
and what's not and what's really happening, and just there's
just so much blah constantly, And I, like Joe said,
it feels like we're halfway there already.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:36):
I have two completely contradictory thoughts on that. The first
one is the becoming zen or confusion or praying ceaselessly
or whatever. A lot more people are gonna embrace that,
they're gonna check out completely from the information economy and
try to live simple lives. My completely oppositional thought to
that is that the evil doers will have enormous powers
(36:01):
and we all need to be on our guard. Yeah,
it's definitely a fever pitch confusing age we're moving into.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Well, so you mean, like checking out individually really good
for you, but not is not going to help society
if people that checked out can't really be motivated to
get in to do anything.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, I'm not sure they could do anything anyway, depending
on which way the AI thing goes and who gets
it and how they use it. I realized this is
all kind of terrifying and dislocating. I would concentrate on
the world close to you.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
That's what I do.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
There's nothing much I can do about this stuff, so
I don't worry about it?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Or is there?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
It creeps into my dream sometimes and I wake up
screaming and weeping.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Could we get regulations in place to slow down this train?
Or is it just impossible? No? No, okay, well then
you have any other question in sports and weather exactly?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No, what about the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (37:05):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
