Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong
and Jetty and he Armsrong. Oh my god, I just
(00:34):
gave across the story about a lip reader who has
read the lips of McCrone and his wife President McCrone
and his wife on the plane what they were saying
as she was shoving him in the face, and has
its justified backed up my theory that it was an
actual angry conflict. Stay tuned live from the studio, C
(00:54):
say signor a dimly lit room deep with them the
bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey,
it's you know what you like about these short weeks.
It's all ready in the middle of the week. Today
we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Vladimir Putin,
author of World War three question mark hanging in the air. Jeez,
(01:16):
you dropped to World War three right at the beginning
of the show. I figured you'd be excited about that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hey, he cats has been predicting the onslaught of World
War three for many years now.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
One of our favorite lines from the Great Larry Sanders
television show. You can't show. You can't start the show
with the show stopper. That's a show stopper. Yeah, don't
start the show with a showstopper. World War three is
a show stopper. Holy crab. Yeah, that's some good stuff.
I've been reading this book or listening to it, but
counts as reading called appeasement about all of Europe in
(01:51):
the world, letting Hitler get more and more powerful and
do whatever he wanted to do because nobody wanted to
have to go to war again. And it's it's really
damned interesting. And while I don't constantly look for parallels that,
you know, mean, this is the new Hitler or the
new Germany or whatever, because that's all ridiculous, I usually
(02:12):
think it is amazing how many of the similar things
are happening, with the way Putin is being looked at,
just little by little. Crimea was the Rhineland. I mean
it was the same sort of thing. Go into Crimean.
Nobody barely does anything. Okay, cool, they don't have the
DUTs to to stop me. So I guess I'll try
to take all of you, great Hitler. Hitler Invaded to Rhineland,
(02:35):
Part of Germany that he was not allowed to have
after World War One, so there's a buffer between them
and France. He made up a reason, just like Putin does.
He just make up a reason. He went in and
the world went, yeah, I don't want to go to war.
Do you want to go to war? I don't want
to go to worr either. Let's just let him have it.
He probably won't go any further.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher if you've
studied this sort of thing for a while. But if
you do something completely horrific, just do it. The world
will condemn you and sanctions and who knows what sort
of opposition will arise. But if you do that same
horrific thing and float some ridiculous fish story about why
it's justified, people rub their chins and spend a great
(03:14):
deal of time debating it, and a certain percentage of
people will say, you know, it kind of has.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
A point is if it's because you don't want to
have to fight, yes, that you will go ahead and
take their excuse. And Hitler knew that, and Putin knows that,
and lots of people have known that. If you come
up with me summarize offer them a threat and an
excuse to back down, and they will accept the Yeah,
offer them an excuse to do what they really want
(03:39):
to do. That's what Putin does, and the world accepts it,
at least so far has. And one other element of
this that I just wanted to throw in, this weird
thing that was going on in between England and Germany.
And I'd never heard this before, and I don't think
I'd have picked up on it if I hadn't lived
through all the Tucker Carlson stuff that's been going on.
(04:01):
How England after World War One, there was a belief
that they're young people today, no longer you know, cared
about England and blah blah blah, and they really admired
the elites in England, really admired how energetic the Germans were,
how much they cared about their country, how willing they
were to fight, how how much they cared about Christianity.
(04:23):
Exactly the same sort of stuff that the Tucker crowd
says about Russia's boutin. Well, they're the manly men, They're
the ones that you know, they're they're reinventing manhood over there.
Look at us, we're weak and soft and turning all
kinds of weird. True, and England did the exact, had
the same theory towards they kind of admired what Germany
was doing. And yes, you had that crowd also, yeah,
(04:49):
helping helping push the idea that, yeah, we were a
little hard on Germany after that whole World War One thing. Besides,
look at them, they're better than us. Right.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So Trump made those ridiculous statements the other day on
the tarmac of hod what happened to Putin?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He's changed? I thought we were bodies.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean, I'm paraphrasing, and I said yesterday, I thought
that was nuts, because Putin hasn't changed a bit. I mean,
his appetite has grown with the eating, as they say.
But other than that, no, he's the same cold hearted
KGB trained crocodile he's always been. But he is a
absolute genius when it comes to, you know, carrying out
(05:29):
the sort of plans were discussing. He is a student
of history, he is a student of human nature. He
has been schooled at the highest level in the arts
of deception and persuasion and flattery and threats. And you know,
even as you hate him, you've got to admire seeing
him operate. And Hitler, who is way over referenced in
society these days, was likewise a somewhat mad genius. Obviously
(05:57):
his heart was rotten with hate. But the two of them, actually,
what they haven't come in is incredible effectiveness. But Hubris,
that's just running a bit hot. I mean, Putin's whole
COVID fueled dreams of re establishing the Russian Empire and
being the new Peter the Great, little Nutty little third Reiki. Yeah, yeah,
(06:20):
Nutty and third Reichi.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah. I'm not a fan of Hitler. But the understanding
that your opponents don't really want to fight. They would,
they would, They will keep backing up and backing up
and backing up rather than actually fight.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well, that's why this is such an incredible pivot point
right right now.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is exactly what the Wall Street Journal says today,
We'll have to read from their editorial board, lady that
all the tweeting and talking and then theorizing and get
is up like very soon, like maybe this week, maybe today.
Trump's gonna have to either decide to continue to arm Ukraine,
support the new sanctions that Europe is signed on to
(07:01):
et cetera, et cetera, or not or send a message
similar to not the same, as there are plenty of differences,
but similar to Biden backing down in Afghanistan that there's
disastrous running for the exits withdrawal, the signal being we
will not hang in for the long term. So if
you're an evil doer, go ahead, give it a try. Right,
(07:24):
let's start the show officially because there's conversation will stem
from our opening clip. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty
on this. It is hopefully not the beginning of World
War three. I hope this isn't a date that lives
in infant Wednesday, May twenty eighth, year twenty twenty five,
were Armstrong in Getty and we approve of this program.
It's probably worth mentioning when the Chinese turn off the
electric grid and the power grid and the cell phones
(07:44):
in the water and the rest of it. We'll be
working on getting back on the air and doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It could be wild, though, just keep checking in. Okay, Well, anyway,
good lock up. It doesn't come to cannibalist.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Thanks for three. I hope it doesn't come to cannibalism. Look,
you gotta be mentally prepared. Oh god, yeah, why do
you drill? Why do you practice so it doesn't freak
out when the pooh hits the fall for the best,
prepare for the worst. At least put it in the
back of your head. You might have to eat your neighbor,
(08:15):
right right, have two weeks worth of water on hand, cash, weapons,
and mental preparedness for cannibalism. Here we go, officially now
according to FCC rules and regulations, which will also be
off when the dystopia begins. Here we go at Mark
medative rights. Regarding Trump's words about Putin playing with fire
and really bad things happening to Russia. I only know
(08:38):
of one really bad thing, world War three. I hope
Trump understands this. How's a response to Trump saying you're
really playing with fire? They shot back, Oh yeah, how
about world War three? Drop the World War three on Trump?
So what do you make of that?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's another example of Putin's posturing throughout this whole thing,
that this will escalate beyond your control and cataclysm and
you'll be in a blame. It hasn't happened so far.
Is it a completely hollow threat? I don't know it
worked on Biden. This is the reporting. There are a
lot of folks on the right in America, some of
(09:17):
whom are listening, frustrated and red faced right now, who
think we're playing with that sort of fire for no
supportable reason. We've heard your arguments. I don't agree with you,
but we've heard them.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well. I do agree with you, just in a different way.
I think he let Putin win, and you get closer
to World War three, not further from World War three,
as he's right on the board of border of NATO
countries and he is going to try to take one
of those little NATO countries under some trumped up something
or other.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Any if you would like to drop us a note
saying why we're wrong, please do mail bag at armstrong
in getty dot com. Again, that's mail bag at Armstrong
in getty dot com. You are not allowed to use
the term neocon nor forever wars because though they don't
mean anything, those are just catching phrase. Are they allowed
to use the phrase be better at the end of
their screed?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Certainly?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or why don't you guys do a little studying before
you shoot off your mouth?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, that would be better. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
My final thought on this is and perhaps address this thought.
What we're talking about is the difference between telling Sheshin
Ping invading Taiwan, or telling Vladimir Putin invading Estonia or
going full on Nukan, Ukraine or whatever. It's the difference
(10:36):
between this will cost you one thousand dollars or one
hundred thousand dollars. What will it cost them to try
to realize their expansionist aims?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Will it cost a little or a lot?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
If it costs a lot, they reconsider it's been true
for all of human history. Well, Richard Engel is reporting
on NBC News what intelligence sources tell him Putin's strategy is.
We can get into that later because I'd been wondering,
and this actually makes sense. So uh, one of Elon's
rockets blew up yesterday, and the media once again treating
(11:14):
it like he's obviously a failure of a rocket engineer,
which makes me insane.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They're stupid, stupid idiots. We got Diddy trial updates, We
got all kinds of stuff for it. I hope you
can stick around. We get some oh, including let's talk
about the bond market. Ah, yeah, he wants to talk
about bonds. You World War three and bond markets. What
what the hell? Come for the horror? Stay with for
the snooze. I got it all, so we got a
(11:40):
lot on the way. I hope you can stay here.
Here's our text line four one FIFTC. Okay, I'll make
this deal with you. We can go through some real
headlines if you promise to leave me time to get
to the reader on McCrone and his wife from the plane.
(12:04):
Somebody was reading the lips of the video. We now
know what they said to each other, according to the
slip reader when she shoved him in the face.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I will agree to that bargain if you let me
talk about the bond market.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh my god, can we have an egg timer on
that or something?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Seriously, I came across an explanation of how it works,
and I thought.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh now I get it. Oh okay, well yeah yeah,
if it helps us understand, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well come on, how many of us have not heard
various financial the bond market reacted, yields were then you think.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I guess that's bad without really getting it. And it's
actually quite simple. So that's coming up in a little bit,
believe it or not. By the nip so.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You got a handful of headlines about Trump at war
with Harvard and foreign students and visas and stuff like that.
A lot of this is going to get knocked down
by the courts. Some of it's silly. It's all about
the awful state of our universities, and that's fine, and
we can dig into it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I was looking at the numbers of how many foreign
students there are in the US and universities and how
much money they're worth to the university.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So foreign students, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I mean everybody makes noises about well, it's diversity and
different perspectives, but no, it's an efing money spigots and
they pull that and they pay that full rate that
practically no American kid does. So I heard a couple
of times yesterday the White House officially changed COVID vaccination guidelines,
with RFK Junior croaking out that healthy children and pregnant
women no longer need to be vaccinated. On ABC News,
(13:38):
it was reported or you know, described last night as
overcoming the opinions of the experts, are ignoring them. AREFK
Junior changed national COVID policy? Can anybody explain to me
why the hell healthy children and pregnant ladies were getting
the shot anyway, especially late date.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Right, And as was pointed out only on Fox, they
had an expert on said European countries gave up on
making kids get inoculations several years ago. So we're noring
the opinions of experts, right, please. So on the financial
side of things, the stock market, maybe you're paying attention
yesterday was up yesterday and looks like it is again today.
(14:22):
Wall Street. This is from the Wall Street Journal. Their
headline wall Street BET's the worst of Trump's trade war
is behind it. It looks like that's what the smart
people are thinking. And also that consumer confidence number that
came out yesterday that we didn't really talk about, up
twelve points or something like that in one month. Can
you explain that Why did it go up so high? No? No,
(14:45):
I cannot. Either. I need to explain why it went
down so low or why it went up so high again.
I mean, one of those two needs to be explained.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The best I can offer is that those two stories
are related. It's become more clear that the we're going
to become some sort of isolationist smoot Hally tariff protected
fortresses of domestic economy. It's just it's not going to happen,
and he wasn't serious about it as posturing.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's true. I feel that way, but I guess maybe
this makes me an elitist. I didn't assume that most
people paid enough attention to to know both of those
things happened, the threat of the whole Terraf war and
then the back and off of it. I didn't know
most people paid attention to that. Yeah, I was struck
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I can't remember if we talked about it on the air,
And it doesn't really matter, I suppose, But there were
a handful of polls about the tariff policy, and I
was surprised how few no opinions there were. People seemed
to be paying attention to it. To your point, a
couple more headlines real quickly, US military has begun to
strengthen its presence in Northern Europe in the face of
increased Russian activity. We're going to get more deeply into
(15:54):
some of the interesting things being said by Trump. Yeah,
he gets all the attention by my major figures in
his administration and by an overwhelming number of United States senators.
There are now I believe eighty two co sponsors of
a bill to crush Rush's economy with oil sanctions, roughly speaking,
(16:14):
more on that to come.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, that's interesting based on huge consensus. This Wall Street
Journal headline, which is actually at the top of their
online right now, Putin has retooled his entire economy to
focus only on war. Right.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I was going to cite as an exhibit of why
you know we must stop the killing Vladimir stop is
just right.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's doomed right, He's put all his chips on the table,
So I blame myself. We have run out of time
and we're not going to get to the McCrone wife
lip reading thing. We got to guarantee we're going to
get it at some point, because I know the first
thing we do next second. This is the sort of
thing I would wait in my car to here. Yes,
it's pretty good too. Look gloom, doom and horror that
(17:01):
will be there afterward. Yes, get to that. But a
spat between a Russian president and his old wife, uh
who was his teacher when he was a kid, which
is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Especially the passionate French, oh you know them in their tempers.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, she shoves him in the face with both hands.
They're just a playful couple, or's a real animosity in
the air. We'll get that mere day out of here,
she said. We'll ask the lip reader some real news
all on the way, So stay tuned, Armstrong and Geeddy.
The video of the show quickly going viral. The President's
(17:37):
team initially called it a fake, but later Macron acknowledged
it was real, down playing the incident, saying he and
his wife were bickering and joking. Who originally called it
a fake? Uh? The President? Did he? Cron? Did he? Really?
It is lit? Sheep say, sheep say, wow, wow wow.
All right, So you've probably seen the video by now
(17:58):
of Macrone that the plane, the big plane like his
Air Force one lands, door opens, whatever whatever was going
on between him and his wife. She shoves him in
the face with both hands. He turns, sees the doors open.
Then it's a big smile and waven He tries to
turn it around real quick and hope that nobody saw
that other part. They did, And everybody's been speculating was
(18:22):
this an actual fighter? They did? They just being playful
and that's the way they're playful or whatever. I've seen
people do that playfully. I'm not at that age. Yeah, true,
this is more of a twenty somethings sort of plan
in face shove at age sixty or whatever. Well, anyway,
so The New York Post went to a lip reader
(18:45):
to try to figure out what was being said. As
the aircraft door opens, President McCrone is seen turning toward Brigette.
In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face.
After the door open, Macrone noticed that the cameras were
on him, then he said hi before raising his hand,
even if out that part saw the video. Emmanuel then
steps closer to his wife before composing himself and crossing
(19:07):
to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her
to follow him with let's go, the lip reader says.
He thanks the pilot and waves at the camera, trying
to recover his public facing image, but at the top
of the stairs things turn icy again. He offers his arm,
she ignores it, choosing to cling to the Rali instead.
We all saw that. To me, that was the indication
that it was an actual anger thing. I mean, because
(19:30):
that was pretty evident. As she passes, she appears to mutter,
I won't try to say it in French translated in
English stay away you lose her. Yeah, I don't know
if I to gageous piece de loser stay away loser.
Moments later, the lipreader claims Macrone said esion silte plate,
(19:55):
which translates to let's try please. Oh God, I've been
there before. That's the worst. Then she responds none, which
I assume means no. We his closing expression and the
phrase lip red as javos translate in englishes. I see,
al right, that's the direct translation. Alright, great, okay, oh fantastic.
(20:25):
So you're not even gonna for everybody in the cameras
and everybody down there, even though we got you know,
we're dealing with a war and peace here. Can't let
this happen at home, a trumble.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
In economy, trying to cut a trade deal with these
nice communist people, and you can't even try.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Ah, right, Of course, it depends on what they're fighting about.
Maybe she's hardcore support Ukraine and he's more temperate on it,
or it's something incredibly stupid like can happen in the relationship,
or yeah, she's sick.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And tired of being the first lady of a country
because he's been right, isn't it for a long time?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right? It's just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Another plane ride so I can smile, dignitaries. I don't
even know who these people are. I'm gonna go off
to a hotel room. You're gonna have your stupid meetings.
Our economies crumbling, our empires a one hundred years in
the past. Oh ivey schlepping around the world.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'm sick of it. I feel like she's aged out
of the incredibly short skirt. But she apparently thinks her
legs are her best feature and wants to make sure
everybody sees them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Wow, listen to you judging. Plus they're French. They have
different ways they do. God, if that is the translation,
does that not fit beautifully with all the body language?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No way, you lose her? Can we try? Please? No? Oh? Great,
get away? Well to get away, get away from me?
You lose her? Oh jeez, So there you go. Eh.
I don't remember what we're gonna talk about. Next. Rocket tree.
Oh yes, I was watching that on the television. So
(22:04):
the SpaceX just launched some more satellites into space. Only
Fox was covering it. I think that was Fox wanting
to have something successful elonish on TV because the media
went so huge yesterday on another one of Elon's rockets
failing at a certain points. It's an experiment, it's an
(22:24):
effort to make the rockets better and better and better.
We've talked about this a thousand times. Elon has a
completely different way of doing this than NASA ever did.
NASA being a government program and for a variety of reasons,
they wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it
would take many, many years before you'd ever try anything
because you couldn't handle the disaster of a mis launch
(22:45):
or something like that. I guess, yes, there was a.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Mishaf It was seen as a horror, an utter disaster.
Whereas as SpaceX, their motto is fail fast, learn faster.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, so you do it, you do it right now.
You see how far you get and then it fails
and you say, okay, so what was the failure part?
And you fix that and then you go again, you
go a little further. This one went further than the
last one. It was presented on the media last night
once again SpaceX rocket fails to blah blah blah without
understanding the concept of what he's doing at all, or
(23:14):
they understand the concept and like pretending that Elon is
a failure. Then they mentioned the boot let me jump in.
These dumb bastards if they were on the if they
were on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, they'd be the
right brothers failed again to launch their arrow plane. The
(23:35):
bicycle repairman who believed they could equal the birds that
fail again, right right, You could apply that to a
zillion different great breakthroughs in human history, I'm sure, all
kinds of medicines and everything else where. You tried this,
it didn't work. Tried this, it didn't work. You tried
a thousand times it didn't work. But each time you
(23:55):
got a little closer until you figured it out. That's
why it works. You freaking morons. You did bastards.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
To quote the great and crazy Pete Townshend of the
WHO typewriter tappers, you're all.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Just crappers anyway. Then they mentioned on ABC Evening News
I'm watching last night about how the booster part then
came down and was grabbed by the arms again, which
is one of the most amazing technological feats that has
ever happened on the planet. And you kind of YadA YadA,
yachta that. Yeah, shot a skyscraper into space, then brought
(24:27):
it back and parallel parked it right any who, so
there you go. Yeah. Oh, speaking of Elon Musk, Oh,
I just knocked my mouse into the garbage? Is that
a metaphor? Is that an omen?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He used my finger now like it's I don't know,
like it's nineteen ninety here it is.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Elon Musk, in an interview, came out strong against djt's big,
beautiful spending bill. He was being interviewed Sunday CBS Sunday
Morning quote. I was disappointed to see a massive spending bill, frankly,
which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and
undermines the work that the Doge team is doing.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, he's a businessman and he's big on the debt
and understands that it's just unsustainable. As Rand Paul said
on Sunday, is my favorite line on this. We spend five,
we spend seven, and we take in five trillion. We
spend seven trillion, we take in five trillion every year.
We can't continue to do this. It's that simple, Ladies
(25:32):
and germs. Well, right, all right, Musk went on to say,
of the horrible betrayal bill, it's big but not beautiful.
I think a bill can be big or it could
be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both.
And they talk about some of his doge goals and
how much money's actually been saved and how many jobs
(25:55):
have actually been cut, and he said, in the grand
scheme of things, I think we've been effective, not as
effective as I'd like. I think we could be more effective,
but we'd made progress. I'm glad to hear him coming
out against this horrific bill. And again Mike Johnson would say, dude,
the best we can get, Well, we don't have the
votes for anything more responsible. What do you want me
to do? It's our system of government, right, Well, we're
(26:16):
fair enough. What we need and are going to have
to have at some point, whether we like it or not,
is a new electorate. Is a big, painful bill that
is going to include all kinds of cuts to all
kinds of things and tax increases because we got no choice.
But you know, you kick the can down the road
as long as you can. I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
One of the great truths of politics, and this is
going to make you want to stick your head in
the oven, don't bother. The truth is, if you are
looking at say four year terms, just to keep it simple,
we'll go with presidents because everybody's fixating on the president.
You got the president who screams toward the cliff for
four years, and the next one of screams toward the cliff,
(26:58):
then the next one who streams toward the and then
on day three in office, the next guy or girl jack.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's legal under the constitution, it could be a woman.
A woman president three days into their term we go
over the cliff. They will be blamed right or at
the very least, they will be tasked with fixing the problem.
And the negative effects, the punishment, the imprisonment or beatings
or fines that ought to go to the previous people
(27:27):
we've talked about, those will never exist. For the opposite,
historians will continue to rate them very highly for growing
these various programs over the years that put us in
the cataclysm that we got into. Back to stick in
your head in the oven, Yeah, you alerted me to
something a while back I had never thought of in
my life. So I've used the phrase makes me want
to stick my head in the oven, which is really
a pretty dark graphic sort of aside to say in
(27:51):
a semi humorous fashion, it's a like saying I'd like
to put a gun in my mouth. Yeah, it's a
suicide reference, and none of us take it seriously. But
thought I had never really thought about the I guess
I had thought the stick your head in the oven
to make it so hot that you're you die. But
you're saying it's a gas thing because you said that
(28:12):
would do no good because most people have an electric oven.
Until then, I had never thought that it was a
gas thing. I always thought it was a heat thing.
So you stick your head in the oven, turn on
the gas, and then the fumes kill you. It's not
because you're cooking your head, yes, exactly, Okay, cooking your
head would be a slow and patience requiring effort to
to offer yourself. Probably want to preheat the oven, like
(28:33):
you're making a baked potato or something. Yes, Like turning
on your car in the garage, yeah, like I can.
It'd be be the equivalent now of me parking my
Tesla in the garage and closing the door and sitting
there until I got turning it up, sitting there until
I need to pee or got very hungry, and then
going back in the house right till you just wander
out out of bordo. Like you know what, Now my
(28:56):
hope is rekindled and I'm just really bored. So that's hilarious. Douck.
You know what we're gonna do today. We're going to
leave enough time for mail bag because we never do,
and we got plenty of stuff. And man, there's a
lot of news today. Stay here. Joe Tani, who has
(29:18):
not pitched in almost two years, is about to pitch again.
It'll be very soon, according to the Dodgers, and he
looks fantastic as one of the best pitchers in baseball
and one of the best hitters in baseball will be
back doing both soon for the La Dodgers. So that's exciting.
I gotta get it. I gotta get to a game
at Dodgers Stadium and see him, because Eve, once in
(29:40):
one hundred years player, I.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Would agree, Yeah, that sounds really great. I wonder if
he just bagged I want to pitch, come on, I
really like pitch in here's your freedom loving quote of
the day. Loved this from Daniel Webster. God grants liberty
only to those who love it and are always ready
to guard. And liberty is not a marble edifice. It
(30:06):
is a garden. If it is not tended, it will die.
Very easy to take for granted. Oh yeah, definitely, I
think about that A lot mailbag drop us a note
mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Got this
from Sean on the topic of perseverance, which we were discussing,
I believe later in the show yesterday. I used to
(30:27):
tell my corporate coworkers that the healthiest way to approach
work challenges is to stop asking why are they doing
this and start asking why are they doing this to me? Yes,
make it personal, Sean, You're so.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Right about you to me right, do the same thing
like in traffic all the time. Anytime relationships, your spouse
is and you know, living their own life and expressing
their field, they're directing it towards you. It's about you.
They don't have their own stresses and needs. They're doing
(31:09):
it to you. Right.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Holding along Kevin the Texas Marine with the thought about
the night versus morning shower question, The answer is both.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I have a job.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Mike Crow might would approve of so I need a
shower after work. I also have a girlfriend, so I
shower in the morning, hopefully with her. Wow, well, good
for you.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
There you go. Uh, but my real answer is shower never.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You want spend literally weeks in the field without being
able to do much more than rag cleaning, surrounded by
other guys who haven't been able to shower in weeks,
you will never.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Want to be stinky again.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
As comedians Kevin the Texas Marine, who was stationed overseas
obviously on more than one occasion.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, I got to come in on that. As the
comedian Sarah Silverman once said, if you shower with your boyfriend,
your boobs will be very clean. Oh that's true. Yeah,
my brother went a whole month, might have been more
without a shower in Iraq. I think the first door
and has never been right since he showers like six
times a day. Yeah, yeah, who can blame him.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Moving along a different topic from frequent correspondent Pallo, guys
inspired by the story from the Wappo from the comment section,
you might consider it nutpicking finding people who spout off,
which is so easy to do. Nonetheless, I think it's
perfect in this case.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
So I had to send it.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Here's what a Wappo commentator had to say about illegal immigration, quoting,
I'm happy with people that want to come here and
mow my lawn and pick my crops, whether they're.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Here legally or illegally.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I certainly don't expect you in the MAGA bigots to
be volunteering for those jobs. It just gives you a
reason to spew your bile.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
That is the dumbest sentence or sentences I've ever heard. Right,
and how do you think this person feels about equity?
Paolo wants to know.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They'd probably have a big moralizing lecture for us on
the subject. Do you think he she is volunteering for
those jobs or feeling superior and relegating them to the
lesser among us. I could respond to the comment in
lots of snarky ways, but none better than you could
come up with yourself, I'm sure, so I'll just leave
it at that. Well, I don't know, Pallo, try your
hand at it. But oh my god, the great progressive
(33:06):
who believes in equity, who also believes in importing a
brown underclass to do the ugly jobs that we're too
good for, that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Can't even recognize their hypocrisy. They amaze me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Another frequent correspondent, JT and livermore the media didn't fail
on Tuesday's final Hour, and the topic of the media's
failure probably imported on Biden's metal ink capacity. Jack said,
and I quote, oh, and there's more on this, believe
it or not. More really good info on the media.
Cover up'll cover up. But anyway, JT writes, Jack said,
it's the biggest failure of media in the nation's history.
(33:44):
Except from their point of view, it was not a failure.
It was the goal since the twenty twenty primaries. They
were biased against Trump and biased for Biden. Their goal
was to be political propagandists and partisans, and they succeeded.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah. What's crazy about that, as others have pointed out,
is they got Trump elected. You moron, you'd have been
waiting if your goal was to stop Trump, you'd have
been way better off pointing out Biden's failures earlier and
having a longer period of time to for Kamala Harris's
campaign or for them to run somebody else or whatever. Right, Actually,
(34:19):
and JT disagrees.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
He says, just because they weren't able to pull off
the impossible, ie get Biden reelected. Doesn't mean they failed
because they accomplished a lot. But no, I think you
win that mini argument.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They were so unwilling to let the chips fall, the
chips of democracy, which I mean, for God's sake, the
Washington Post, with their hilariously self important democracy dies in darkness.
I mean, these people are howling about democracy to constantly,
but they didn't trust it in iota. They had to
(34:52):
fix it in favor of Biden getting the nomination because
he was well, I guess the obvious guy. Well, yeah,
because you didn't let the prime this work. So yeah,
absolutely a miserable failure morally, ethically, and professionally. If you
may be covered in the slime of their own shame,
(35:12):
may be you may you be covered in slime of shame. Yes,
I like that. Well, you almost got it right. If
you miss this late in the day last night, uh,
Trump and Russia trading barbs about World War three and
threats and that sort of thing that are pretty freaking
(35:33):
big deal. We're at a major inflection point historically, ball
is still in Trump's court as far as I can
tell on this whole thing. We'll talk about that an
hour two. If you miss that, get the podcast Armstrong
and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong
and Jetty and he Armsrong. Oh my god, I just
(00:34):
gave across the story about a lip reader who has
read the lips of McCrone and his wife President McCrone
and his wife on the plane what they were saying
as she was shoving him in the face, and has
its justified backed up my theory that it was an
actual angry conflict. Stay tuned live from the studio, C
(00:54):
say signor a dimly lit room deep with them the
bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey,
it's you know what you like about these short weeks.
It's all ready in the middle of the week. Today
we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Vladimir Putin,
author of World War three question mark hanging in the air. Jeez,
(01:16):
you dropped to World War three right at the beginning
of the show. I figured you'd be excited about that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Hey, he cats has been predicting the onslaught of World
War three for many years now.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
One of our favorite lines from the Great Larry Sanders
television show. You can't show. You can't start the show
with the show stopper. That's a show stopper. Yeah, don't
start the show with a showstopper. World War three is
a show stopper. Holy crab. Yeah, that's some good stuff.
I've been reading this book or listening to it, but
counts as reading called appeasement about all of Europe in
(01:51):
the world, letting Hitler get more and more powerful and
do whatever he wanted to do because nobody wanted to
have to go to war again. And it's it's really
damned interesting. And while I don't constantly look for parallels that,
you know, mean, this is the new Hitler or the
new Germany or whatever, because that's all ridiculous, I usually
(02:12):
think it is amazing how many of the similar things
are happening, with the way Putin is being looked at,
just little by little. Crimea was the Rhineland. I mean
it was the same sort of thing. Go into Crimean.
Nobody barely does anything. Okay, cool, they don't have the
DUTs to to stop me. So I guess I'll try
to take all of you, great Hitler. Hitler Invaded to Rhineland,
(02:35):
Part of Germany that he was not allowed to have
after World War One, so there's a buffer between them
and France. He made up a reason, just like Putin does.
He just make up a reason. He went in and
the world went, yeah, I don't want to go to war.
Do you want to go to war? I don't want
to go to worr either. Let's just let him have it.
He probably won't go any further.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher if you've
studied this sort of thing for a while. But if
you do something completely horrific, just do it. The world
will condemn you and sanctions and who knows what sort
of opposition will arise. But if you do that same
horrific thing and float some ridiculous fish story about why
it's justified, people rub their chins and spend a great
(03:14):
deal of time debating it, and a certain percentage of
people will say, you know, it kind of has.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
A point is if it's because you don't want to
have to fight, yes, that you will go ahead and
take their excuse. And Hitler knew that, and Putin knows that,
and lots of people have known that. If you come
up with me summarize offer them a threat and an
excuse to back down, and they will accept the Yeah,
offer them an excuse to do what they really want
(03:39):
to do. That's what Putin does, and the world accepts it,
at least so far has. And one other element of
this that I just wanted to throw in, this weird
thing that was going on in between England and Germany.
And I'd never heard this before, and I don't think
I'd have picked up on it if I hadn't lived
through all the Tucker Carlson stuff that's been going on.
(04:01):
How England after World War One, there was a belief
that they're young people today, no longer you know, cared
about England and blah blah blah, and they really admired
the elites in England, really admired how energetic the Germans were,
how much they cared about their country, how willing they
were to fight, how how much they cared about Christianity.
(04:23):
Exactly the same sort of stuff that the Tucker crowd
says about Russia's boutin. Well, they're the manly men, They're
the ones that you know, they're they're reinventing manhood over there.
Look at us, we're weak and soft and turning all
kinds of weird. True, and England did the exact, had
the same theory towards they kind of admired what Germany
was doing. And yes, you had that crowd also, yeah,
(04:49):
helping helping push the idea that, yeah, we were a
little hard on Germany after that whole World War One thing. Besides,
look at them, they're better than us. Right.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So Trump made those ridiculous statements the other day on
the tarmac of hod what happened to Putin?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He's changed? I thought we were bodies.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean, I'm paraphrasing, and I said yesterday, I thought
that was nuts, because Putin hasn't changed a bit. I mean,
his appetite has grown with the eating, as they say.
But other than that, no, he's the same cold hearted
KGB trained crocodile he's always been. But he is a
absolute genius when it comes to, you know, carrying out
(05:29):
the sort of plans were discussing. He is a student
of history, he is a student of human nature. He
has been schooled at the highest level in the arts
of deception and persuasion and flattery and threats. And you know,
even as you hate him, you've got to admire seeing
him operate. And Hitler, who is way over referenced in
society these days, was likewise a somewhat mad genius. Obviously
(05:57):
his heart was rotten with hate. But the two of them, actually,
what they haven't come in is incredible effectiveness. But Hubris,
that's just running a bit hot. I mean, Putin's whole
COVID fueled dreams of re establishing the Russian Empire and
being the new Peter the Great, little Nutty little third Reiki. Yeah, yeah,
(06:20):
Nutty and third Reichi.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah. I'm not a fan of Hitler. But the understanding
that your opponents don't really want to fight. They would,
they would, They will keep backing up and backing up
and backing up rather than actually fight.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well, that's why this is such an incredible pivot point
right right now.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is exactly what the Wall Street Journal says today,
We'll have to read from their editorial board, lady that
all the tweeting and talking and then theorizing and get
is up like very soon, like maybe this week, maybe today.
Trump's gonna have to either decide to continue to arm Ukraine,
support the new sanctions that Europe is signed on to
(07:01):
et cetera, et cetera, or not or send a message
similar to not the same, as there are plenty of differences,
but similar to Biden backing down in Afghanistan that there's
disastrous running for the exits withdrawal, the signal being we
will not hang in for the long term. So if
you're an evil doer, go ahead, give it a try. Right,
(07:24):
let's start the show officially because there's conversation will stem
from our opening clip. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty
on this. It is hopefully not the beginning of World
War three. I hope this isn't a date that lives
in infant Wednesday, May twenty eighth, year twenty twenty five,
were Armstrong in Getty and we approve of this program.
It's probably worth mentioning when the Chinese turn off the
electric grid and the power grid and the cell phones
(07:44):
in the water and the rest of it. We'll be
working on getting back on the air and doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It could be wild, though, just keep checking in. Okay, Well, anyway,
good lock up. It doesn't come to cannibalist.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Thanks for three. I hope it doesn't come to cannibalism. Look,
you gotta be mentally prepared. Oh god, yeah, why do
you drill? Why do you practice so it doesn't freak
out when the pooh hits the fall for the best,
prepare for the worst. At least put it in the
back of your head. You might have to eat your neighbor,
(08:15):
right right, have two weeks worth of water on hand, cash, weapons,
and mental preparedness for cannibalism. Here we go, officially now
according to FCC rules and regulations, which will also be
off when the dystopia begins. Here we go at Mark
medative rights. Regarding Trump's words about Putin playing with fire
and really bad things happening to Russia. I only know
(08:38):
of one really bad thing, world War three. I hope
Trump understands this. How's a response to Trump saying you're
really playing with fire? They shot back, Oh yeah, how
about world War three? Drop the World War three on Trump?
So what do you make of that?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's another example of Putin's posturing throughout this whole thing,
that this will escalate beyond your control and cataclysm and
you'll be in a blame. It hasn't happened so far.
Is it a completely hollow threat? I don't know it
worked on Biden. This is the reporting. There are a
lot of folks on the right in America, some of
(09:17):
whom are listening, frustrated and red faced right now, who
think we're playing with that sort of fire for no
supportable reason. We've heard your arguments. I don't agree with you,
but we've heard them.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well. I do agree with you, just in a different way.
I think he let Putin win, and you get closer
to World War three, not further from World War three,
as he's right on the board of border of NATO
countries and he is going to try to take one
of those little NATO countries under some trumped up something
or other.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Any if you would like to drop us a note
saying why we're wrong, please do mail bag at armstrong
in getty dot com. Again, that's mail bag at Armstrong
in getty dot com. You are not allowed to use
the term neocon nor forever wars because though they don't
mean anything, those are just catching phrase. Are they allowed
to use the phrase be better at the end of
their screed?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Certainly?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or why don't you guys do a little studying before
you shoot off your mouth?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, that would be better. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
My final thought on this is and perhaps address this thought.
What we're talking about is the difference between telling Sheshin
Ping invading Taiwan, or telling Vladimir Putin invading Estonia or
going full on Nukan, Ukraine or whatever. It's the difference
(10:36):
between this will cost you one thousand dollars or one
hundred thousand dollars. What will it cost them to try
to realize their expansionist aims?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Will it cost a little or a lot?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
If it costs a lot, they reconsider it's been true
for all of human history. Well, Richard Engel is reporting
on NBC News what intelligence sources tell him Putin's strategy is.
We can get into that later because I'd been wondering,
and this actually makes sense. So uh, one of Elon's
rockets blew up yesterday, and the media once again treating
(11:14):
it like he's obviously a failure of a rocket engineer,
which makes me insane.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They're stupid, stupid idiots. We got Diddy trial updates, We
got all kinds of stuff for it. I hope you
can stick around. We get some oh, including let's talk
about the bond market. Ah, yeah, he wants to talk
about bonds. You World War three and bond markets. What
what the hell? Come for the horror? Stay with for
the snooze. I got it all, so we got a
(11:40):
lot on the way. I hope you can stay here.
Here's our text line four one FIFTC. Okay, I'll make
this deal with you. We can go through some real
headlines if you promise to leave me time to get
to the reader on McCrone and his wife from the plane.
(12:04):
Somebody was reading the lips of the video. We now
know what they said to each other, according to the
slip reader when she shoved him in the face.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I will agree to that bargain if you let me
talk about the bond market.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh my god, can we have an egg timer on
that or something?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Seriously, I came across an explanation of how it works,
and I thought.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh now I get it. Oh okay, well yeah yeah,
if it helps us understand, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well come on, how many of us have not heard
various financial the bond market reacted, yields were then you think.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I guess that's bad without really getting it. And it's
actually quite simple. So that's coming up in a little bit,
believe it or not. By the nip so.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You got a handful of headlines about Trump at war
with Harvard and foreign students and visas and stuff like that.
A lot of this is going to get knocked down
by the courts. Some of it's silly. It's all about
the awful state of our universities, and that's fine, and
we can dig into it a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I was shocked.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I was looking at the numbers of how many foreign
students there are in the US and universities and how
much money they're worth to the university.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So foreign students, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I mean everybody makes noises about well, it's diversity and
different perspectives, but no, it's an efing money spigots and
they pull that and they pay that full rate that
practically no American kid does. So I heard a couple
of times yesterday the White House officially changed COVID vaccination guidelines,
with RFK Junior croaking out that healthy children and pregnant
women no longer need to be vaccinated. On ABC News,
(13:38):
it was reported or you know, described last night as
overcoming the opinions of the experts, are ignoring them. AREFK
Junior changed national COVID policy? Can anybody explain to me
why the hell healthy children and pregnant ladies were getting
the shot anyway, especially late date.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Right, And as was pointed out only on Fox, they
had an expert on said European countries gave up on
making kids get inoculations several years ago. So we're noring
the opinions of experts, right, please. So on the financial
side of things, the stock market, maybe you're paying attention
yesterday was up yesterday and looks like it is again today.
(14:22):
Wall Street. This is from the Wall Street Journal. Their
headline wall Street BET's the worst of Trump's trade war
is behind it. It looks like that's what the smart
people are thinking. And also that consumer confidence number that
came out yesterday that we didn't really talk about, up
twelve points or something like that in one month. Can
you explain that Why did it go up so high? No? No,
(14:45):
I cannot. Either. I need to explain why it went
down so low or why it went up so high again.
I mean, one of those two needs to be explained.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
The best I can offer is that those two stories
are related. It's become more clear that the we're going
to become some sort of isolationist smoot Hally tariff protected
fortresses of domestic economy. It's just it's not going to happen,
and he wasn't serious about it as posturing.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's true. I feel that way, but I guess maybe
this makes me an elitist. I didn't assume that most
people paid enough attention to to know both of those
things happened, the threat of the whole Terraf war and
then the back and off of it. I didn't know
most people paid attention to that. Yeah, I was struck
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I can't remember if we talked about it on the air,
And it doesn't really matter, I suppose, But there were
a handful of polls about the tariff policy, and I
was surprised how few no opinions there were. People seemed
to be paying attention to it. To your point, a
couple more headlines real quickly, US military has begun to
strengthen its presence in Northern Europe in the face of
increased Russian activity. We're going to get more deeply into
(15:54):
some of the interesting things being said by Trump. Yeah,
he gets all the attention by my major figures in
his administration and by an overwhelming number of United States senators.
There are now I believe eighty two co sponsors of
a bill to crush Rush's economy with oil sanctions, roughly speaking,
(16:14):
more on that to come.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, that's interesting based on huge consensus. This Wall Street
Journal headline, which is actually at the top of their
online right now, Putin has retooled his entire economy to
focus only on war. Right.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I was going to cite as an exhibit of why
you know we must stop the killing Vladimir stop is
just right.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
It's doomed right, He's put all his chips on the table,
So I blame myself. We have run out of time
and we're not going to get to the McCrone wife
lip reading thing. We got to guarantee we're going to
get it at some point, because I know the first
thing we do next second. This is the sort of
thing I would wait in my car to here. Yes,
it's pretty good too. Look gloom, doom and horror that
(17:01):
will be there afterward. Yes, get to that. But a
spat between a Russian president and his old wife, uh
who was his teacher when he was a kid, which
is weird.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Especially the passionate French, oh you know them in their tempers.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, she shoves him in the face with both hands.
They're just a playful couple, or's a real animosity in
the air. We'll get that mere day out of here,
she said. We'll ask the lip reader some real news
all on the way, So stay tuned, Armstrong and Geeddy.
The video of the show quickly going viral. The President's
(17:37):
team initially called it a fake, but later Macron acknowledged
it was real, down playing the incident, saying he and
his wife were bickering and joking. Who originally called it
a fake? Uh? The President? Did he? Cron? Did he? Really?
It is lit? Sheep say, sheep say, wow, wow wow.
All right, So you've probably seen the video by now
(17:58):
of Macrone that the plane, the big plane like his
Air Force one lands, door opens, whatever whatever was going
on between him and his wife. She shoves him in
the face with both hands. He turns, sees the doors open.
Then it's a big smile and waven He tries to
turn it around real quick and hope that nobody saw
that other part. They did, And everybody's been speculating was
(18:22):
this an actual fighter? They did? They just being playful
and that's the way they're playful or whatever. I've seen
people do that playfully. I'm not at that age. Yeah, true,
this is more of a twenty somethings sort of plan
in face shove at age sixty or whatever. Well, anyway,
so The New York Post went to a lip reader
(18:45):
to try to figure out what was being said. As
the aircraft door opens, President McCrone is seen turning toward Brigette.
In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face.
After the door open, Macrone noticed that the cameras were
on him, then he said hi before raising his hand,
even if out that part saw the video. Emmanuel then
steps closer to his wife before composing himself and crossing
(19:07):
to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her
to follow him with let's go, the lip reader says.
He thanks the pilot and waves at the camera, trying
to recover his public facing image, but at the top
of the stairs things turn icy again. He offers his arm,
she ignores it, choosing to cling to the Rali instead.
We all saw that. To me, that was the indication
that it was an actual anger thing. I mean, because
(19:30):
that was pretty evident. As she passes, she appears to mutter,
I won't try to say it in French translated in
English stay away you lose her. Yeah, I don't know
if I to gageous piece de loser stay away loser.
Moments later, the lipreader claims Macrone said esion silte plate,
(19:55):
which translates to let's try please. Oh God, I've been
there before. That's the worst. Then she responds none, which
I assume means no. We his closing expression and the
phrase lip red as javos translate in englishes. I see,
al right, that's the direct translation. Alright, great, okay, oh fantastic.
(20:25):
So you're not even gonna for everybody in the cameras
and everybody down there, even though we got you know,
we're dealing with a war and peace here. Can't let
this happen at home, a trumble.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
In economy, trying to cut a trade deal with these
nice communist people, and you can't even try.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Ah, right, Of course, it depends on what they're fighting about.
Maybe she's hardcore support Ukraine and he's more temperate on it,
or it's something incredibly stupid like can happen in the relationship,
or yeah, she's sick.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And tired of being the first lady of a country
because he's been right, isn't it for a long time?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right? It's just like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Another plane ride so I can smile, dignitaries. I don't
even know who these people are. I'm gonna go off
to a hotel room. You're gonna have your stupid meetings.
Our economies crumbling, our empires a one hundred years in
the past. Oh ivey schlepping around the world.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I'm sick of it. I feel like she's aged out
of the incredibly short skirt. But she apparently thinks her
legs are her best feature and wants to make sure
everybody sees them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Wow, listen to you judging. Plus they're French. They have
different ways they do. God, if that is the translation,
does that not fit beautifully with all the body language?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No way, you lose her? Can we try? Please? No? Oh? Great,
get away? Well to get away, get away from me?
You lose her? Oh jeez, So there you go. Eh.
I don't remember what we're gonna talk about. Next. Rocket tree.
Oh yes, I was watching that on the television. So
(22:04):
the SpaceX just launched some more satellites into space. Only
Fox was covering it. I think that was Fox wanting
to have something successful elonish on TV because the media
went so huge yesterday on another one of Elon's rockets
failing at a certain points. It's an experiment, it's an
(22:24):
effort to make the rockets better and better and better.
We've talked about this a thousand times. Elon has a
completely different way of doing this than NASA ever did.
NASA being a government program and for a variety of reasons,
they wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it
would take many, many years before you'd ever try anything
because you couldn't handle the disaster of a mis launch
(22:45):
or something like that. I guess, yes, there was a.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Mishaf It was seen as a horror, an utter disaster.
Whereas as SpaceX, their motto is fail fast, learn faster.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, so you do it, you do it right now.
You see how far you get and then it fails
and you say, okay, so what was the failure part?
And you fix that and then you go again, you
go a little further. This one went further than the
last one. It was presented on the media last night
once again SpaceX rocket fails to blah blah blah without
understanding the concept of what he's doing at all, or
(23:14):
they understand the concept and like pretending that Elon is
a failure. Then they mentioned the boot let me jump in.
These dumb bastards if they were on the if they
were on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, they'd be the
right brothers failed again to launch their arrow plane. The
(23:35):
bicycle repairman who believed they could equal the birds that
fail again, right right, You could apply that to a
zillion different great breakthroughs in human history, I'm sure, all
kinds of medicines and everything else where. You tried this,
it didn't work. Tried this, it didn't work. You tried
a thousand times it didn't work. But each time you
(23:55):
got a little closer until you figured it out. That's
why it works. You freaking morons. You did bastards.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
To quote the great and crazy Pete Townshend of the
WHO typewriter tappers, you're all.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Just crappers anyway. Then they mentioned on ABC Evening News
I'm watching last night about how the booster part then
came down and was grabbed by the arms again, which
is one of the most amazing technological feats that has
ever happened on the planet. And you kind of YadA YadA,
yachta that. Yeah, shot a skyscraper into space, then brought
(24:27):
it back and parallel parked it right any who, so
there you go. Yeah. Oh, speaking of Elon Musk, Oh,
I just knocked my mouse into the garbage? Is that
a metaphor? Is that an omen?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He used my finger now like it's I don't know,
like it's nineteen ninety here it is.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Elon Musk, in an interview, came out strong against djt's big,
beautiful spending bill. He was being interviewed Sunday CBS Sunday
Morning quote. I was disappointed to see a massive spending bill, frankly,
which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and
undermines the work that the Doge team is doing.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, he's a businessman and he's big on the debt
and understands that it's just unsustainable. As Rand Paul said
on Sunday, is my favorite line on this. We spend five,
we spend seven, and we take in five trillion. We
spend seven trillion, we take in five trillion every year.
We can't continue to do this. It's that simple, Ladies
(25:32):
and germs. Well, right, all right, Musk went on to say,
of the horrible betrayal bill, it's big but not beautiful.
I think a bill can be big or it could
be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both.
And they talk about some of his doge goals and
how much money's actually been saved and how many jobs
(25:55):
have actually been cut, and he said, in the grand
scheme of things, I think we've been effective, not as
effective as I'd like. I think we could be more effective,
but we'd made progress. I'm glad to hear him coming
out against this horrific bill. And again Mike Johnson would say, dude,
the best we can get, Well, we don't have the
votes for anything more responsible. What do you want me
to do? It's our system of government, right, Well, we're
(26:16):
fair enough. What we need and are going to have
to have at some point, whether we like it or not,
is a new electorate. Is a big, painful bill that
is going to include all kinds of cuts to all
kinds of things and tax increases because we got no choice.
But you know, you kick the can down the road
as long as you can. I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
One of the great truths of politics, and this is
going to make you want to stick your head in
the oven, don't bother. The truth is, if you are
looking at say four year terms, just to keep it simple,
we'll go with presidents because everybody's fixating on the president.
You got the president who screams toward the cliff for
four years, and the next one of screams toward the cliff,
(26:58):
then the next one who streams toward the and then
on day three in office, the next guy or girl jack.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It's legal under the constitution, it could be a woman.
A woman president three days into their term we go
over the cliff. They will be blamed right or at
the very least, they will be tasked with fixing the problem.
And the negative effects, the punishment, the imprisonment or beatings
or fines that ought to go to the previous people
(27:27):
we've talked about, those will never exist. For the opposite,
historians will continue to rate them very highly for growing
these various programs over the years that put us in
the cataclysm that we got into. Back to stick in
your head in the oven, Yeah, you alerted me to
something a while back I had never thought of in
my life. So I've used the phrase makes me want
to stick my head in the oven, which is really
a pretty dark graphic sort of aside to say in
(27:51):
a semi humorous fashion, it's a like saying I'd like
to put a gun in my mouth. Yeah, it's a
suicide reference, and none of us take it seriously. But
thought I had never really thought about the I guess
I had thought the stick your head in the oven
to make it so hot that you're you die. But
you're saying it's a gas thing because you said that
(28:12):
would do no good because most people have an electric oven.
Until then, I had never thought that it was a
gas thing. I always thought it was a heat thing.
So you stick your head in the oven, turn on
the gas, and then the fumes kill you. It's not
because you're cooking your head, yes, exactly, Okay, cooking your
head would be a slow and patience requiring effort to
to offer yourself. Probably want to preheat the oven, like
(28:33):
you're making a baked potato or something. Yes, Like turning
on your car in the garage, yeah, like I can.
It'd be be the equivalent now of me parking my
Tesla in the garage and closing the door and sitting
there until I got turning it up, sitting there until
I need to pee or got very hungry, and then
going back in the house right till you just wander
out out of bordo. Like you know what, Now my
(28:56):
hope is rekindled and I'm just really bored. So that's hilarious. Douck.
You know what we're gonna do today. We're going to
leave enough time for mail bag because we never do,
and we got plenty of stuff. And man, there's a
lot of news today. Stay here. Joe Tani, who has
(29:18):
not pitched in almost two years, is about to pitch again.
It'll be very soon, according to the Dodgers, and he
looks fantastic as one of the best pitchers in baseball
and one of the best hitters in baseball will be
back doing both soon for the La Dodgers. So that's exciting.
I gotta get it. I gotta get to a game
at Dodgers Stadium and see him, because Eve, once in
(29:40):
one hundred years player, I.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Would agree, Yeah, that sounds really great. I wonder if
he just bagged I want to pitch, come on, I
really like pitch in here's your freedom loving quote of
the day. Loved this from Daniel Webster. God grants liberty
only to those who love it and are always ready
to guard. And liberty is not a marble edifice. It
(30:06):
is a garden. If it is not tended, it will die.
Very easy to take for granted. Oh yeah, definitely, I
think about that A lot mailbag drop us a note
mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Got this
from Sean on the topic of perseverance, which we were discussing,
I believe later in the show yesterday. I used to
(30:27):
tell my corporate coworkers that the healthiest way to approach
work challenges is to stop asking why are they doing
this and start asking why are they doing this to me? Yes,
make it personal, Sean, You're so.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Right about you to me right, do the same thing
like in traffic all the time. Anytime relationships, your spouse
is and you know, living their own life and expressing
their field, they're directing it towards you. It's about you.
They don't have their own stresses and needs. They're doing
(31:09):
it to you. Right.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Holding along Kevin the Texas Marine with the thought about
the night versus morning shower question, The answer is both.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I have a job.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Mike Crow might would approve of so I need a
shower after work. I also have a girlfriend, so I
shower in the morning, hopefully with her. Wow, well, good
for you.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
There you go. Uh, but my real answer is shower never.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You want spend literally weeks in the field without being
able to do much more than rag cleaning, surrounded by
other guys who haven't been able to shower in weeks,
you will never.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Want to be stinky again.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
As comedians Kevin the Texas Marine, who was stationed overseas
obviously on more than one occasion.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, I got to come in on that. As the
comedian Sarah Silverman once said, if you shower with your boyfriend,
your boobs will be very clean. Oh that's true. Yeah,
my brother went a whole month, might have been more
without a shower in Iraq. I think the first door
and has never been right since he showers like six
times a day. Yeah, yeah, who can blame him.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Moving along a different topic from frequent correspondent Pallo, guys
inspired by the story from the Wappo from the comment section,
you might consider it nutpicking finding people who spout off,
which is so easy to do. Nonetheless, I think it's
perfect in this case.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
So I had to send it.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Here's what a Wappo commentator had to say about illegal immigration, quoting,
I'm happy with people that want to come here and
mow my lawn and pick my crops, whether they're.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Here legally or illegally.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I certainly don't expect you in the MAGA bigots to
be volunteering for those jobs. It just gives you a
reason to spew your bile.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
That is the dumbest sentence or sentences I've ever heard. Right,
and how do you think this person feels about equity?
Paolo wants to know.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
They'd probably have a big moralizing lecture for us on
the subject. Do you think he she is volunteering for
those jobs or feeling superior and relegating them to the
lesser among us. I could respond to the comment in
lots of snarky ways, but none better than you could
come up with yourself, I'm sure, so I'll just leave
it at that. Well, I don't know, Pallo, try your
hand at it. But oh my god, the great progressive
(33:06):
who believes in equity, who also believes in importing a
brown underclass to do the ugly jobs that we're too
good for, that.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Can't even recognize their hypocrisy. They amaze me. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Another frequent correspondent, JT and livermore the media didn't fail
on Tuesday's final Hour, and the topic of the media's
failure probably imported on Biden's metal ink capacity. Jack said,
and I quote, oh, and there's more on this, believe
it or not. More really good info on the media.
Cover up'll cover up. But anyway, JT writes, Jack said,
it's the biggest failure of media in the nation's history.
(33:44):
Except from their point of view, it was not a failure.
It was the goal since the twenty twenty primaries. They
were biased against Trump and biased for Biden. Their goal
was to be political propagandists and partisans, and they succeeded.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah. What's crazy about that, as others have pointed out,
is they got Trump elected. You moron, you'd have been
waiting if your goal was to stop Trump, you'd have
been way better off pointing out Biden's failures earlier and
having a longer period of time to for Kamala Harris's
campaign or for them to run somebody else or whatever. Right, Actually,
(34:19):
and JT disagrees.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
He says, just because they weren't able to pull off
the impossible, ie get Biden reelected. Doesn't mean they failed
because they accomplished a lot. But no, I think you
win that mini argument.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They were so unwilling to let the chips fall, the
chips of democracy, which I mean, for God's sake, the
Washington Post, with their hilariously self important democracy dies in darkness.
I mean, these people are howling about democracy to constantly,
but they didn't trust it in iota. They had to
(34:52):
fix it in favor of Biden getting the nomination because
he was well, I guess the obvious guy. Well, yeah,
because you didn't let the prime this work. So yeah,
absolutely a miserable failure morally, ethically, and professionally. If you
may be covered in the slime of their own shame,
(35:12):
may be you may you be covered in slime of shame. Yes,
I like that. Well, you almost got it right. If
you miss this late in the day last night, uh,
Trump and Russia trading barbs about World War three and
threats and that sort of thing that are pretty freaking
(35:33):
big deal. We're at a major inflection point historically, ball
is still in Trump's court as far as I can
tell on this whole thing. We'll talk about that an
hour two. If you miss that, get the podcast Armstrong
