Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jettidie and now Hee Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
In the middle of a May twenty five game against
the Reds. The indictment says Clause texted a Better, asking
if the Better was ready. The Better responded, but of course,
ten minutes later, the Better won ten thousand dollars by
wagering Clause's pitch would be a ball slower than ninety
eight miles per hour. That pitch was off speed and
in the dirt. Prosecutors say Clause recruited or teased of
(00:46):
the scheme this year before June start against the Maritors,
or Teas allegedly agreed to throw a ball for his
first pitch in the second inning, first pitch missing low
ball won two weeks later, or Teas allegedly agreed to
throw a ball in the third inning of the game
against Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Is just a little bit outside.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Prosecutors say, Ortiz and Classe took a cut of the
winning bets.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Major how about that.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
First of all, the fact that you can in a
game in May between two non likely playoff teams bet
on one pitch that it'll be less than ninety eight
miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Who's making these bets? I wouldn't think there'd be.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Any money in it because there wouldn't anybody anybody else. Yeah,
how maybe I don't know. I mean, who cares. The
only reason those bets exist is for degenerate gambling addicts,
and so they can be fixed. That's an absurd bet
to make, so burying in the headline in case you
don't know it. At least two major league pitchers have
(01:50):
been caught up in a scandal where they were fixing pitches,
at least to make themselves money or make other people money.
That gets complet and I doubt it's just these two.
Probably bigger than this. How about the fact that it
was during the game he texts this, dude, are you ready?
(02:11):
Of course I'm ready. Then he goes out there for
the next inning, throws one low and slow and somebody makes.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Me Yeah, nobody notices, but money is made.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You combined that with this also broke yesterday six players
This is NCAA basketball. Six players from three schools through
games or shared betting info and have been kicked out
of the schools and the investigation is going on. And again,
is it only these six or is this rampant? You
got several people here I can't pronounce their names who
played for different schools. Two players at Mississippi Valley State
(02:45):
were offered money to throw a January sixth, twenty twenty
five game against Alabama A and M. According to the NCAA,
this one kid was overheard discussing throwing the game.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
During a time out.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
He told one of the other players, Hey, don't shoot
anymore or I don't want you to score any more points.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Wow. Also genius there.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And they also listened in on some phone calls in
which they're discussing after the game, you know where do
I go pick up your money? And they've got a
recording of this guy forty five minutes after the game
going out to the parking lot and getting a bag
of money. I can't believe that there's bags of money
to be had in like I follow college basketball, some
these are not powerhouse schools or well known players. You
(03:29):
wouldn't think there'd be that much betting going on on
these But like you said, degenerate gamblers or are there
enough of them out there? To cover every meaningless small
college basketball game. Who's going to score the most points?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He just wouldn't think that'd be possible.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, and if I'm a mob to up gambler and
I've got one hundred thousand dollars, say to bet, Yeah,
I'm gonna go where it won't be noticed and bet,
excuse me, I'm I'm going to bet a huge amount
of money on that game. Nobody cares about win once
and then go about my you know, my men, the
ol activities elsewhere. But the problem is now the computers
(04:04):
can identify that sort of weird blip in gambling and
make it harder to pull that off. But this, this
sort of thing, I think it's going to be a
drum beat going forward. Sure, I don't know how you
stop it. I think we're going to hear about a
baseball slash basketball slash college sports scandal every couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I think it's probably good for the individual sports like
NBA is probably happier in hack that Major League Baseball
and college basketball are now pulled into it, so it
doesn't seem like, you know, they're just a rogue league
that has problems. It's just a general cultural problem that
we all have and we want to get ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, that's true, I think, Oh yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They have the advantage of the fact that everybody's doing it.
Has the NFL been touched yet, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm waiting for field goal kickers to miss a kick
or something.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I was about to say. It's a little more difficult
than the NFL, isn't it to Uh suppose we could
get to a quarterback or a field goal kicker. A
kicker extra points too, kickers and quarterbacks. But other than that,
I suppose you could get a receiver to drop a pass.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, if you could get a kicker, I mean, but
there's so much at stake in These guys make a
lot of money. It's hard to believe anybody would go
for a little extra cash on the side.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But that's an excellent point. Baseball and basketball have so
many games that and somebody plays.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Within the games. I mean, kickers live and die by
their makes and misses. So I mean, maybe if I'm
a kicker, you know, back in the old country, they
got my uncle in the clutches of the government, and
I've got gambling debts, maybe I miss an extra point
when we're ahead by three touchdowns, but have to be
(05:46):
a pretty special circumstance. Anyway, we're gonna hear all.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Do you think there'll be any change in a betting
in America? Any change in the laws.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Maybe just because so many of the big apps have
relationships with the big leagues, and so the leagues will
tell them, hey, you're going to kill us with this,
so you got to quit with the spots, props or
whatever the term is for betting on a single pitch.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That's just amazing to me that there's any money to
be that you can find somebody that would take up
a bet on a meaningless pitch and a meaningless game
by somebody you've never heard of, that it'll be less
than ninety eight miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There's some money to be had on that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That's crazy. It is, Yeah, you know, part of me,
this is the cynical part of me, which is most
of me, thinks as I look at how mobbed up
and dishonest and how money laundry the federal government is,
and people just ho ham, it's nothing we can do
about it. I wonder if the main reaction all these
betting scandal is going to be apathy. People think, yeah,
(06:53):
pitch here, pitsh there, who cares? You can't get people,
you know, to pay attention.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You know, what we haven't had is a ref or
an MP that's got That's gotta happen in this whole.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
BAF got busted a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, but in this whole new betting world, there's got
to be got because that's something that's an easy person
to get to too.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, I wonder if most of.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Them are going to turn out to be degenerate gamblers themselves.
They got themselves in gambling debt, and that's mostly.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
What drives it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You know, umson, refs make good money, but they don't
make I wouldn't cross the street for twenty five thousand
bucks money.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Well, and again, if it's gambling debts you make, you
make good money, but you get yourself a half million
in the hole, and somebody says, oh, I got a
way for you to get out of this problem real fast.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Right right right? Yeah, I could absolutely picture that. So,
speaking of making money in uh not the usual ways, uh,
President Trump and Jack, I'll need you to rule on
the uh the over under for we ever hear about
this again? Trump over the weekend. Truth doubt people are
(08:06):
against tariffs are fools. Exclamation point. We are now the
richest most respected country in the world with almost no
inflation and a record stock market price.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
That's true, that was stocker market's records.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But the inflation is not.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, that was pretty tone def to me to the
working people whose votes he got last time. Almost no inflation.
Nobody thinks that. Nobody thinks that. I mean, it's down
significantly from when it was nine percent during the nightmare
Biden years.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But again it's all cumulative.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You get three more percent on top of that nine
percent and three and a half percent before that and whatever. Yeah,
working people do not proceed that there's no inflation. Anyway,
A dividend of at least two thousand a person, not
including high income people, will be paid to everyone, So
a at least two two thousand dollars tariff dividend because
(09:03):
the government is making so much money on tariffs. This
is less than a week after his lawyers were in
front of the Supreme Court arguing that this is not
revenue generation, that's just kind of an accident. This is
a regulatory tariff. This is foreign policy. So who would
get the two thousand dollars checks everybody except not high
(09:27):
income people, according to the truth.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And where do they draw the line on high income.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Of course, this is never going to happen, so it
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I told you I need your ruling on that. Yeah,
it's completely unclear who would be writing the check out,
who would qualify what account? All right? Well, and the
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board says this was as hail
Mary pass Sunday about tariffs in the wake of the
Supreme Court decision, and they point out this is a
(10:00):
teaching moment for a high school logic class. Start with
the contradiction that mister Trump can both pay a tariff
rebate and pay down the national debt with the same money.
The annual federal budget deficit is roughly eight one point
eight trillion dollars. That's for this year. The deficit is
one point eight trillion dollars even with tariff revenue, so
(10:21):
paying a rebate would add to the national debt, not
reduce it. But I don't think we'll ever hear anything
about it again.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Now, the best argument, and we talked about this last
week a little bit, Mam.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Make sure everybody heard.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The best argument came out in the oral arguments was
when even Trump's lawyer admitted that a future Democrat president
could announce a climate emergency the way Trump's announcing a
drug fentanyl emergency or a trade and balance emergency. A
Democrat could say climate emergency and then come up with
all kinds of things you would hate, right if we're
(10:52):
going to allow Trump to do this based on an
emergency power and we don't want that, No, you imagine
the thing's a president a Costia Cortes could come up with,
or Kamala Harris could have come up with an a
climate emergency. Oh, just the gas powered cars have an
added five thousand dollars tax tariff, fine, whatever you want
(11:16):
to call it for buying them, because we need more
people to buy electric cars.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We're in a climate emergency.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, exactly, I've appropriated some of Congress's powers because it's
an emergency. And what are we we're living under like
twenty two different states of emergency right now? Does anybody
feel like there's an emergency that ought to be the headline?
What is it with desclaring states of emergency where there
are none? If you don't want their guy to have
the power. Don't give your guy that power. It's a
(11:42):
bad idea.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We should take a break because I'm having a bit
of an emergency. I gotta get to.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh my, I am a bit of an Anglo phile,
a brit lover, and I see a really really intriguing
clip from a World War II British veteran about the
state of that country. A couple of stories from the
UK come up.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I heard that O'Reilly and Bill Maher got into it.
A couple of eighty year olds arguing on HBO Friday Night.
Maybe we can play that for you a little bit later.
Lots of stuff all the way, stay here, they are
gonna vote and all that sort of stuff. But it's
going to end this week, so if you were worried
about it, don't stop worrying about it.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thank God our long National nightmaron dot dot dot dot
YadA yadaya. Anyway, I've always loved Great Britain, fascinated by
the UK. Went there for the first time with my wife,
had a wonderful time in London, loved it. Our next
door neighbors over there for an extended period. And he's
wrapping up some business there and they absolutely love it too.
All those interesting. My wife was admiring our neighbors' shoes
(12:44):
and she Judy asked, did you buy those in London?
She said, Oh my god, no, everything's way too expensive there.
And that's an indication of well, one of the problems
afflicting Britain right now, which we're going to get to
in a second. But I'm intrigued by this. This is
what one hundred year old British w W two veteran
talking about the current state of Britain.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What does remembrance Sunday mean for you?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
What is your message?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
My message is I can see in my mind's eye
of rose and rose, of white stones, of all the
hundreds of my friends and everybody else that gave their
lives for what the country today. No, I'm sorry, the
(13:32):
sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh well, I'm sorry what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Though?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
What we fought for and what we fought for was
their freedom with father.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Even now is.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
The downside worst and what it was when I fought
for it?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, it was interesting how the female was like, oh,
that's not the mood are going for in the deuce,
like what do you mean let's talk about it. Yeah,
he's almost certainly talking about the hundreds of people that
are arrested every week for social media posts that the
authorities in the government don't like because they might stir
up discontent or offend somebody. An absolutely obscene trend. I
(14:18):
would love to spend more time on that because it's
one of my I g hods. But I found this interesting,
the migration of millionaires worldwide. I'm looking at a chart
and for instance, the US gained thirty eight hundred millionaires
last year. Thirty eight hundred millionaires moved to the United States.
China lost fifteen thousand and two hundred as anybody who
(14:39):
can get out of the increasingly oppressive communist rule is
getting out, probably although they have an enormous population. But
in second place for lost millionaires, the UK lost ninety
five hundred millionaires in twenty twenty four. No wonder the
old WW two vet is not optimistic about his country's future.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And do we have any idea? Primarily why was it? Yeah,
it wasn't a free speech thing.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It is there a tax thing happened or something.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, they're trying to find more and more ways to
tax the successful high earners. But this the story is
about how mobile people with money are now the global economy,
global world. Everybody flies all the time, and the idea
that Mom, Donnie like you can just stick the rich
with the bill is just it doesn't work. Man. I
(15:32):
wish we had more time to talk about the BBC scandal.
The more I look into it, the more interesting it becomes.
Is that countries and pr as it were, but they're
they're much bigger and more important than it are utterly
ridiculously biased. Here's another example of what's going on in
the UK. The Metropolitan Police put out a social media
(15:55):
post about a crime that they are they're writing about
an incident in Uxbridge of a man who sadly died.
Those were quotes from the report and I could read
the whole thing, but we don't really have time. So again,
it's an incident, and they talked about in this incident
(16:16):
a man sadly died. What was the incident? An older
man who works as a garbage collector was walking his
dog when, according to authorities, an Afghani immigrant named Safie
da Wood walked up and stabbed him to death as
the dog walker lay on the ground. The assailant stabbed
him more than a dozen times. London's Metropolitan Police didn't
want people to see the video. Sometimes people get violently
(16:37):
sadly died by immigrants during incidents, hurt people, hurt people
in Some of this sarcastic, and sometimes people become unalive
in the process. But the point is here's yet another
crime by another immigrant in London, and the Metropolitan Police
tried to cleanse it of all offensive words. The man
sadly died after an incident.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's troubling.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh my god, there's more, but we're out of time.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
So O'Reilly and Bill maher got into it. Friday night
on HBO. Will play a little of that and some
other news of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
To stick around Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
It's a supply in the Man country, now, ma'am. Donnie
doesn't want that. He's not a socialist, a communist, okay.
Man Donnie's greatest quote is I agree with seizing the
means of production. Yeah, okay, that's communism. That's not socialism,
because in order to seize something, you have to use force,
(17:37):
and that's what the communists do.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Bill O'Reilly sounding pretty old but still seems to be
as sharp as ever on Bill Maher's Friday night HBO show,
Bill Maher, who has called Bill Maher, who's a lifelong
Democrat and voted for Kamala Harris, calling Mondami a communist
Donny's show, Where's interesting? But here this clip get into
a little old guys junk measuring contest about race that
(18:07):
actually has an interesting point to it.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Also here is Bill Maher and Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You're disenchanted with the far left wing of the Democratic Parties, okay,
because they never met anything that was counterintuitive that they
didn't love, right, So they want to put trans people
in here, and they want to do this, and it
just dilutes the message that the Democratic Party has traditionally
(18:34):
had that we're for the workers, we want to improve
the lives of the backbone of the country. Now you're
into all this fringe garbage that Americans don't want.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I think that's your posture.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
And I wouldn't put it that way, but go ahead, okay,
but you might want to rethink because that's.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
A good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, I'm still on the air and here not but
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I expected that.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So we did a town all on his Nation two
weeks ago from Kennedy Center, twenty three million people watch,
twenty three million. Okay, you can add up all the
hbos you want.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You're not going to come close.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You just want to correct a record.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
So interesting about that. First of all, I like the
way he characterized the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Word isn't.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Bill Maher basically agrees with him as a lifelong normal Democrat.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But that stuff about the ratings I thought fit in
with the.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Current brew haha between I don't even know what the
sides are, but that involves Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes
and Meghan Kelly and all these different people weighing in
on different sides, and how.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That all works.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
It's very easy, especially for me being in the radio
industry my whole life, to look at traditional media and
ratings and that sort of stuff is like figuring out
where you rank. That's ridiculous. Bill O'Reilly is absolutely right there.
The number of people that could tune into a town
hall on some platform I've never even heard of, would
dwarf the number of people watching Friday Night on HBO.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, probably, although I don't I don't trust those how
many people watch numbers on the Internet, but it's it
is obviously the future.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, and it's clearly bigger. I mean, I just can't
you feel that it's bigger. Oh yeah, then, I mean
obviously Nick Fuentes is a bigger thing than.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Face the Nation is. Oh yeah. At this point, it's
just it just is.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I mean, if you know, well, it's hard to know
what the ratings are for anything, because like I watched
every pitch of the World series on my phone. Did
that count anywhere? I don't know. I don't know the
way they count the ratings. But like the Nick went
is Tucker Carls thing, you add in all the different platforms,
there's like sixty million views. Okay, if it's a sixth
(21:00):
of that, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Still a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Compared to all these other traditional media things. And I
just I can't figure out. So Joe sent me a
clip yesterday of uh Ben Shapiro was on Megan Kelly's show,
and like, I don't watch Megan Kelly's show.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I know a lot of you do. I know a
lot of people who do.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
She's she's bigger now, I think in influence than what
she was on Fox. Oh yeah, And I don't even
know where a show is just which platform I'd have
to search to figure it out if it's YouTube or
something I've never heard of or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And she's huge with that.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But where they where everybody fits in on this different stuff,
and who's who's saying it because they actually are flipping Nazis,
like I think Nick Fuint is this although I'm not
even share with him, or or people who are scared
of their own audience and afraid to say certain things
or don't want to get on the wrong side of
Tucker Carlson because.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He's such a big deal.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I don't, I don't, or you got the candas Owen's thing.
I was talking to somebody about Candie Owens yesterday who's
just so in love with Candace o Ones and watches
everything she does.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't know how this fits together. Well, it's it's
an ongoing fight contest. As I made it clear on Twitter,
I thought Ben Shapiro was speaking with utter moral clarity,
whereas Megan was either afraid of her audience or afraid
of offending Tucker Carlson and some of the woke right.
(22:31):
I thought she's an utter moral coward, which I made clear.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Well, there's right or wrong, and I would prefer to
just go with right as opposed wrong. But in terms
of like who's winning battles and stuff like that, you
used to be able to tell, either through voting or
ratings for shows.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
But I have no sense of how big a deal
this Nick Fuenta is Nazi actually is because of the reasons.
You said, millions of views and down loads, but is
it the same and Nazi's downloading in a million times
or what?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
How does that translate to real world effectiveness too? I mean,
if you get a firestorm of jabbering on the internet
and astounding numbers, numbers we never thought we'd see, but
that's where it stays, and it doesn't result in votes
or legislation or whatever. You know, it can result in votes.
I think Mamdanni is proof of that. But yeah, you're right,
(23:26):
it's it's tough to get a sense of because the
technology and the platforms change so rapidly.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Some woman I don't know, but she's something I guess
on the left win after Ted Cruise, but again on
some platform I've never heard of, over the weekend saying
Ted Cruise is the real Nazi here what and Ted Cruz,
Senator from Texas, tweeted out, I don't know who this
angry lady is, but she's missing a key distinction. Fwentez
(23:51):
calls himself a Nazi. He has said Hitler is cool,
Hitler is right. I'm on team Hitler. If you explicitly
sighed and advocate for Hitler, you're an actual effing Nazi.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, but who's trolling? Who means it? Who's watching it.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
As part of the troll because they get a kick
out of seeing so many face say things over the
line but don't actually agree with the sentiment. I don't
have any concept of at this point.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I think it's just various case by case, and
you gotta make a judgment. Like Candae Owens is so
completely off the rails, I mean, really off the rails.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I guess my point would be, I'd like to know
if there's a growing movement. Sometimes you can feel a
growing movement, like the Tea Party or something like that.
I can't tell if this whole Tucker nick Flints thing
is a growing movement where it's just it just looks
that way because of the way media currently works.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, and algorithms and the rest of it. Yeah, I
don't know. I definitely think it's significant. And the reason
I felt so strongly about the Megan Kelly Shapiro conversation
was because I've become completely convinced. Not that I needed
much convincing, but if you don't police your own side,
you become corrupted by the crazies. That has been a
(25:12):
lesson that's learned over and over again. Actually, the Democratic
Socialists of America is an excellent example of that. I
was just listening to some stuff on their history and
how they started off as a very classic looking out
for the working people, particularly the Working Poor Party, and
the modern woke wack wackadoodles and the like. Revolutionary communists
(25:35):
took them over and rotted the place out from inside
and now they run it. That's what the DSA has become.
And you see it in the Democratic Party that's so
beholden to its woke left that they can't even say, uh,
a woman is a woman. You know that a man
can't decide he's a woman and becomes a woman. They
(25:56):
can't even deny that. Or boys shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Say several sports even though they probably mostly agree with that.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh yeah, virtually everybody agrees with that who's saying, but
they're afraid to say it. And in the same way,
I think if the Right allows itself to be co
opted by its wacky doodles, conservatism and patriotism will suffer
for it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I actually texted Joe.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
I mean, this is a real life conversation he and
I were having over the weekend. I said, I wish
we were bigger, but I'm glad we're not so big.
We have to deal with some of these problems. I
don't mind saying, you know, having our whatever niche we've
got in the world of broadcast, uh radio or podcast
or just broadcasting to people, I don't mind saying the
(26:37):
Jews didn't kill Charlie Kirk, and uh and and what
else would be a good one? The Epstein list isn't
really anything, and you know whatever else I don't I
don't mind saying that out loud, because you know whatever,
I don't think we're gonna lose a giant portion of
our audience who we need to kind of pretend we
think the Jews killed Charlie Kirk to keep happy.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Just hint at it, but not to say it, because
we know it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
It's a weird time the internet.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I took it a little.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It wasn't Candace, but it was Candace adjacent stuff about
how Erica Kirk was.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Working with the Jews to have her husband killed. I mean,
this is some insane ss.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah. Actually Candace has been claiming that lately.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh my god, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
What the because he wasn't sufficiently right wingy for her,
so she conspired with the Jews to kill him or something.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I was watching a video yesterday, so they had it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
They had a clip of it was Charlie Kirk and
and his wife doing a little video thing together talking
about how they met and everything, and the guy hosting
it said, look, how long it takes her to answer
the question of how they met? Well, you want to
tell everybody how we met, honey, And she starts in
and says, how we met? Why did it take her
(27:56):
so long to answer that question? She's trying to remember
the that they came up with. I mean, it's that
sort of conspiracy nuttiness, and so like, I don't have
a concept. I'm hoping that I shouldn't even be talking
about it because it's just a small segment of society.
Why are we even acknowledging its existence? But at least
it kind of looks on media, and by knowing how
(28:18):
some of these people are being paid, how things get
monetized is not a bad indication of how big they are,
because people advertisers don't throw money around just in crazy
ways usually, and some of these people are pretty damn big,
some of you. Enough of you think Erica Kirk was
working with the Jews to have her husband killed.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, stay away from me in nut jobs.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, far away. I missed an opportunity in discussing Mumdani.
There's something I meant to say speaking of young people
in their wacky doodle politics. After a quick word from
our friends at Prize Picks. On Prize Picks, being right
can get you paid. Don't miss any of the excitement
of the sports season, whether you're football fan, basketball fan,
or both like us and always feels good to be right.
(29:04):
Prize Picks, it's super easy. Just pick two, at least two.
Player stats say more or less. If you get your
picks right, you could cash in.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah, and they've got stacks now, meaning you can pick
the same player up to three times in the same lineup.
For instance, Steph Curry, greatest shooter of all time. You
could go points, three pointers and assists, have three different
things stacks all of them in the same lineup. Download
the Prize Picks up today, use a coat Armstrong, and
you get fifty dollars in lineups after you play the
first five dollars lineup.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, you can have one football player and one basketball
player too. If you like mix sports, that's fine. Download
that Prize Picks app today again, use the code Armstrong.
They will give you fifty dollars in lineups to play
with after you play just a five dollars lineup. Again,
that's the code Armstrong to get fifty in lineups after
you play your first five dollars lineups Prize Picks. It's
good to be right.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
One thing that is clear, and we've talked about this
a lot over the years. Now we're living through a
time of incredible uncertainty. I mean, there's just no getting
a around. Things are more up in the air and
weirder than they've ever been agreed.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I mean, is anybody going to argue with that?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
And when it's like that, whether it's the economy, doesn't
make sense, or our politics don't make sense, or the
world order or whatever. It's comforting, apparently for a lot
of people to settle on some nut job theory that
explains it rather than have it just be kind of
up in the air.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah. I came across an absolutely great think piece that
called the conspiracy Theorists what was it, Modern Medievals or
something like that, explaining how similar conspiracy theories are to
a lot of medieval thought about you know, demons and
hidden forces and the rest of it. Maybe we can
get into that someday. It's a little longish, but it's
(30:44):
thought provoking. So when we were talking about Mundani earlier,
I'd forgotten one of my key realizations was, you know what,
we don't have time. I don't want to rush through it.
Why would I rush your time some sort of maniac
like I've got a head full of cocaine or something.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
No, no, Once you'd.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Be able to go through and put it in his money.
As adjectives and adverbs as you want.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Oh, I do love a good adverb. I add adverbs skillfully,
nice job, thank you, that's all on the way, stay here.
Lions Gate has released the first trailer for Michael.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
The upcoming bio pick about Michael Jackson, and like Jackson,
it starts out very dark but ends in a much
lighter tone. If that is an attempt to be honest,
that could be damned interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, huh will it be though probably some more?
Would you sell more tickets being honest about the craziness.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Hey, geography to make more money?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah? I don't know, I really don't know. Huh. So
during hour two, I think it was we talked a
bit about mcdonni's followers and how he won the affluent,
college educated vote, or at least the college educated vote.
The working class didn't vote for him, which is really
pretty interesting, and it was a lot of affluent people.
(32:16):
I thought this was interesting too. The New Jersey gi
hotties who got arrested at the end of last week
who were associated with the Michigan jihatis that got arrested.
The one Milo Cedat is the young son of a
famous poet and professor who was arrested at his father's
(32:37):
sprawling Victorian home in Mountclair, New Jersey, Montclair for allegedly
plotting a terror attack. His fellow aspiring terrorist, another product
of Montclair, who also grew up in a beautiful Victorian home,
was arrested too. So these are upper income intellectual guys.
If I was going to assign one thing to, like progress,
the progressive move but not just liberals in general, but
(32:58):
like progressive, they're all like telling people they see is
beneath them what's best for them, Yes, and they don't
want it, Like you should call yourself LATINX. No, I
don't want to.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
You know, we're voting for Mannani to help the bodego
worker and the person who rides the subway. We don't,
but we're voting for him because it's going to help you, right,
But they don't vote for him.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Longtime listeners to the show, how many times have you
heard me rant and rave about the paternalism of the left.
How they're constantly telling you you can't make it, you're
too pathetic. The only way you can make it is
of us. Wise, college educated white people fix the game
for you. Look, because you're too stupid.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Look how sad the working classes they voted for Cuomo?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Right? Yeah, for instance, So the other thing I came
up with it clicked in my head and I can't
believe I'm this slow. But please. I gotta be used
to it by now. I've been talking about the Red
Green Alliance for a long time. How Marxists team with
Islamists to, for instance, overthrow a government like in Iran,
and the Marxists and Islamists both say to each other, Yeah,
(34:01):
we'll work with you, we'll share power, it'll be great.
But behind the scenes both are saying, yeah, the minute
we're in power, we're going to kill those guys off
and we're gonna seize power. But often it's the Islamists
who triumph, because not only are they into it politically,
but they're religious zealots too. They finally figured it out.
(34:21):
You got to come up with a communist, a Marxist
who is an Islamist.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Zorn Mumdani.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
He's an Islamist who claims to be a Marxist to
gain power because remember, he has said openly and proudly,
he came to politics through the so called Palestinian issue,
including Jew hatred, and that's still what animates him. The
Marxist stuff is just to put on. He is smart
(34:51):
enough and clever enough and the product of prominent lefty academics.
And finally, okay, so did you combine the two in
one person. So you think we're misreading him talking about
his communism all the time, that that's not his that's
not his main thing. I think there is an element
of socialism in Islamism, but I think his main motivator
(35:14):
is Islamism. He's just smart enough to know, having observed
that you can attract American young people to socialists.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Well, that's an interesting that's an interesting thing to keep
an eye on. Once he takes office in January. What
is he mostly a communist or a Jew hater?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Did he get into office to fight against Jews or
to you know, take over grocery stores?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, keeping in mind, he might perceive the more successful
I am as a socialist, the more power I'll have
to push Jahadism. So I will keep that in the
closet for a while.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, he won't.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
He won't show his cards immediately, Okay. I would think
his priority will reveal itself at some point.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, I don't know that Islamist have a long, long timeline,
and as Peggy Noonan put it, he is really smart
and calculating.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Hummm, well, i'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
That will only show you as true colors if he
decides he wants to.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
We do twenty hours of this every week. Maybe you
don't hear every hour or every segment. Get the podcast
Armstrong and Getty on demand. You should subscribe
Speaker 1 (36:17):

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jettidie and now Hee Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
In the middle of a May twenty five game against
the Reds. The indictment says Clause texted a Better, asking
if the Better was ready. The Better responded, but of course,
ten minutes later, the Better won ten thousand dollars by
wagering Clause's pitch would be a ball slower than ninety
eight miles per hour. That pitch was off speed and
in the dirt. Prosecutors say Clause recruited or teased of
(00:46):
the scheme this year before June start against the Maritors,
or Teas allegedly agreed to throw a ball for his
first pitch in the second inning, first pitch missing low
ball won two weeks later, or Teas allegedly agreed to
throw a ball in the third inning of the game
against Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Is just a little bit outside.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Prosecutors say, Ortiz and Classe took a cut of the
winning bets.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Major how about that.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
First of all, the fact that you can in a
game in May between two non likely playoff teams bet
on one pitch that it'll be less than ninety eight
miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Who's making these bets? I wouldn't think there'd be.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Any money in it because there wouldn't anybody anybody else. Yeah,
how maybe I don't know. I mean, who cares. The
only reason those bets exist is for degenerate gambling addicts,
and so they can be fixed. That's an absurd bet
to make, so burying in the headline in case you
don't know it. At least two major league pitchers have
(01:50):
been caught up in a scandal where they were fixing pitches,
at least to make themselves money or make other people money.
That gets complet and I doubt it's just these two.
Probably bigger than this. How about the fact that it
was during the game he texts this, dude, are you ready?
(02:11):
Of course I'm ready. Then he goes out there for
the next inning, throws one low and slow and somebody makes.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Me Yeah, nobody notices, but money is made.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You combined that with this also broke yesterday six players
This is NCAA basketball. Six players from three schools through
games or shared betting info and have been kicked out
of the schools and the investigation is going on. And again,
is it only these six or is this rampant? You
got several people here I can't pronounce their names who
played for different schools. Two players at Mississippi Valley State
(02:45):
were offered money to throw a January sixth, twenty twenty
five game against Alabama A and M. According to the NCAA,
this one kid was overheard discussing throwing the game.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
During a time out.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
He told one of the other players, Hey, don't shoot
anymore or I don't want you to score any more points.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Wow. Also genius there.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And they also listened in on some phone calls in
which they're discussing after the game, you know where do
I go pick up your money? And they've got a
recording of this guy forty five minutes after the game
going out to the parking lot and getting a bag
of money. I can't believe that there's bags of money
to be had in like I follow college basketball, some
these are not powerhouse schools or well known players. You
(03:29):
wouldn't think there'd be that much betting going on on
these But like you said, degenerate gamblers or are there
enough of them out there? To cover every meaningless small
college basketball game. Who's going to score the most points?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He just wouldn't think that'd be possible.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well, and if I'm a mob to up gambler and
I've got one hundred thousand dollars, say to bet, Yeah,
I'm gonna go where it won't be noticed and bet,
excuse me, I'm I'm going to bet a huge amount
of money on that game. Nobody cares about win once
and then go about my you know, my men, the
ol activities elsewhere. But the problem is now the computers
(04:04):
can identify that sort of weird blip in gambling and
make it harder to pull that off. But this, this
sort of thing, I think it's going to be a
drum beat going forward. Sure, I don't know how you
stop it. I think we're going to hear about a
baseball slash basketball slash college sports scandal every couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I think it's probably good for the individual sports like
NBA is probably happier in hack that Major League Baseball
and college basketball are now pulled into it, so it
doesn't seem like, you know, they're just a rogue league
that has problems. It's just a general cultural problem that
we all have and we want to get ahead of it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, that's true, I think, Oh yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They have the advantage of the fact that everybody's doing it.
Has the NFL been touched yet, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm waiting for field goal kickers to miss a kick
or something.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I was about to say. It's a little more difficult
than the NFL, isn't it to Uh suppose we could
get to a quarterback or a field goal kicker. A
kicker extra points too, kickers and quarterbacks. But other than that,
I suppose you could get a receiver to drop a pass.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, if you could get a kicker, I mean, but
there's so much at stake in These guys make a
lot of money. It's hard to believe anybody would go
for a little extra cash on the side.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But that's an excellent point. Baseball and basketball have so
many games that and somebody plays.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Within the games. I mean, kickers live and die by
their makes and misses. So I mean, maybe if I'm
a kicker, you know, back in the old country, they
got my uncle in the clutches of the government, and
I've got gambling debts, maybe I miss an extra point
when we're ahead by three touchdowns, but have to be
(05:46):
a pretty special circumstance. Anyway, we're gonna hear all.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Do you think there'll be any change in a betting
in America? Any change in the laws.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Maybe just because so many of the big apps have
relationships with the big leagues, and so the leagues will
tell them, hey, you're going to kill us with this,
so you got to quit with the spots, props or
whatever the term is for betting on a single pitch.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
That's just amazing to me that there's any money to
be that you can find somebody that would take up
a bet on a meaningless pitch and a meaningless game
by somebody you've never heard of, that it'll be less
than ninety eight miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There's some money to be had on that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That's crazy. It is, Yeah, you know, part of me,
this is the cynical part of me, which is most
of me, thinks as I look at how mobbed up
and dishonest and how money laundry the federal government is,
and people just ho ham, it's nothing we can do
about it. I wonder if the main reaction all these
betting scandal is going to be apathy. People think, yeah,
(06:53):
pitch here, pitsh there, who cares? You can't get people,
you know, to pay attention.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You know, what we haven't had is a ref or
an MP that's got That's gotta happen in this whole.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
BAF got busted a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, but in this whole new betting world, there's got
to be got because that's something that's an easy person
to get to too.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, I wonder if most of.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Them are going to turn out to be degenerate gamblers themselves.
They got themselves in gambling debt, and that's mostly.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
What drives it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You know, umson, refs make good money, but they don't
make I wouldn't cross the street for twenty five thousand
bucks money.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Well, and again, if it's gambling debts you make, you
make good money, but you get yourself a half million
in the hole, and somebody says, oh, I got a
way for you to get out of this problem real fast.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Right right right? Yeah, I could absolutely picture that. So,
speaking of making money in uh not the usual ways, uh,
President Trump and Jack, I'll need you to rule on
the uh the over under for we ever hear about
this again? Trump over the weekend. Truth doubt people are
(08:06):
against tariffs are fools. Exclamation point. We are now the
richest most respected country in the world with almost no
inflation and a record stock market price.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
That's true, that was stocker market's records.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But the inflation is not.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, that was pretty tone def to me to the
working people whose votes he got last time. Almost no inflation.
Nobody thinks that. Nobody thinks that. I mean, it's down
significantly from when it was nine percent during the nightmare
Biden years.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But again it's all cumulative.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You get three more percent on top of that nine
percent and three and a half percent before that and whatever. Yeah,
working people do not proceed that there's no inflation. Anyway,
A dividend of at least two thousand a person, not
including high income people, will be paid to everyone, So
a at least two two thousand dollars tariff dividend because
(09:03):
the government is making so much money on tariffs. This
is less than a week after his lawyers were in
front of the Supreme Court arguing that this is not
revenue generation, that's just kind of an accident. This is
a regulatory tariff. This is foreign policy. So who would
get the two thousand dollars checks everybody except not high
(09:27):
income people, according to the truth.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And where do they draw the line on high income.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Of course, this is never going to happen, so it
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I told you I need your ruling on that. Yeah,
it's completely unclear who would be writing the check out,
who would qualify what account? All right? Well, and the
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board says this was as hail
Mary pass Sunday about tariffs in the wake of the
Supreme Court decision, and they point out this is a
(10:00):
teaching moment for a high school logic class. Start with
the contradiction that mister Trump can both pay a tariff
rebate and pay down the national debt with the same money.
The annual federal budget deficit is roughly eight one point
eight trillion dollars. That's for this year. The deficit is
one point eight trillion dollars even with tariff revenue, so
(10:21):
paying a rebate would add to the national debt, not
reduce it. But I don't think we'll ever hear anything
about it again.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Now, the best argument, and we talked about this last
week a little bit, Mam.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Make sure everybody heard.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The best argument came out in the oral arguments was
when even Trump's lawyer admitted that a future Democrat president
could announce a climate emergency the way Trump's announcing a
drug fentanyl emergency or a trade and balance emergency. A
Democrat could say climate emergency and then come up with
all kinds of things you would hate, right if we're
(10:52):
going to allow Trump to do this based on an
emergency power and we don't want that, No, you imagine
the thing's a president a Costia Cortes could come up with,
or Kamala Harris could have come up with an a
climate emergency. Oh, just the gas powered cars have an
added five thousand dollars tax tariff, fine, whatever you want
(11:16):
to call it for buying them, because we need more
people to buy electric cars.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We're in a climate emergency.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, exactly, I've appropriated some of Congress's powers because it's
an emergency. And what are we we're living under like
twenty two different states of emergency right now? Does anybody
feel like there's an emergency that ought to be the headline?
What is it with desclaring states of emergency where there
are none? If you don't want their guy to have
the power. Don't give your guy that power. It's a
(11:42):
bad idea.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We should take a break because I'm having a bit
of an emergency. I gotta get to.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh my, I am a bit of an Anglo phile,
a brit lover, and I see a really really intriguing
clip from a World War II British veteran about the
state of that country. A couple of stories from the
UK come up.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I heard that O'Reilly and Bill Maher got into it.
A couple of eighty year olds arguing on HBO Friday Night.
Maybe we can play that for you a little bit later.
Lots of stuff all the way, stay here, they are
gonna vote and all that sort of stuff. But it's
going to end this week, so if you were worried
about it, don't stop worrying about it.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Thank God our long National nightmaron dot dot dot dot
YadA yadaya. Anyway, I've always loved Great Britain, fascinated by
the UK. Went there for the first time with my wife,
had a wonderful time in London, loved it. Our next
door neighbors over there for an extended period. And he's
wrapping up some business there and they absolutely love it too.
All those interesting. My wife was admiring our neighbors' shoes
(12:44):
and she Judy asked, did you buy those in London?
She said, Oh my god, no, everything's way too expensive there.
And that's an indication of well, one of the problems
afflicting Britain right now, which we're going to get to
in a second. But I'm intrigued by this. This is
what one hundred year old British w W two veteran
talking about the current state of Britain.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
What does remembrance Sunday mean for you?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
What is your message?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
My message is I can see in my mind's eye
of rose and rose, of white stones, of all the
hundreds of my friends and everybody else that gave their
lives for what the country today. No, I'm sorry, the
(13:32):
sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh well, I'm sorry what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Though?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
What we fought for and what we fought for was
their freedom with father.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Even now is.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
The downside worst and what it was when I fought
for it?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, it was interesting how the female was like, oh,
that's not the mood are going for in the deuce,
like what do you mean let's talk about it. Yeah,
he's almost certainly talking about the hundreds of people that
are arrested every week for social media posts that the
authorities in the government don't like because they might stir
up discontent or offend somebody. An absolutely obscene trend. I
(14:18):
would love to spend more time on that because it's
one of my I g hods. But I found this interesting,
the migration of millionaires worldwide. I'm looking at a chart
and for instance, the US gained thirty eight hundred millionaires
last year. Thirty eight hundred millionaires moved to the United States.
China lost fifteen thousand and two hundred as anybody who
(14:39):
can get out of the increasingly oppressive communist rule is
getting out, probably although they have an enormous population. But
in second place for lost millionaires, the UK lost ninety
five hundred millionaires in twenty twenty four. No wonder the
old WW two vet is not optimistic about his country's future.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
And do we have any idea? Primarily why was it? Yeah,
it wasn't a free speech thing.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It is there a tax thing happened or something.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, they're trying to find more and more ways to
tax the successful high earners. But this the story is
about how mobile people with money are now the global economy,
global world. Everybody flies all the time, and the idea
that Mom, Donnie like you can just stick the rich
with the bill is just it doesn't work. Man. I
(15:32):
wish we had more time to talk about the BBC scandal.
The more I look into it, the more interesting it becomes.
Is that countries and pr as it were, but they're
they're much bigger and more important than it are utterly
ridiculously biased. Here's another example of what's going on in
the UK. The Metropolitan Police put out a social media
(15:55):
post about a crime that they are they're writing about
an incident in Uxbridge of a man who sadly died.
Those were quotes from the report and I could read
the whole thing, but we don't really have time. So again,
it's an incident, and they talked about in this incident
(16:16):
a man sadly died. What was the incident? An older
man who works as a garbage collector was walking his
dog when, according to authorities, an Afghani immigrant named Safie
da Wood walked up and stabbed him to death as
the dog walker lay on the ground. The assailant stabbed
him more than a dozen times. London's Metropolitan Police didn't
want people to see the video. Sometimes people get violently
(16:37):
sadly died by immigrants during incidents, hurt people, hurt people
in Some of this sarcastic, and sometimes people become unalive
in the process. But the point is here's yet another
crime by another immigrant in London, and the Metropolitan Police
tried to cleanse it of all offensive words. The man
sadly died after an incident.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That's troubling.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh my god, there's more, but we're out of time.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
So O'Reilly and Bill maher got into it. Friday night
on HBO. Will play a little of that and some
other news of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
To stick around Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
It's a supply in the Man country, now, ma'am. Donnie
doesn't want that. He's not a socialist, a communist, okay.
Man Donnie's greatest quote is I agree with seizing the
means of production. Yeah, okay, that's communism. That's not socialism,
because in order to seize something, you have to use force,
(17:37):
and that's what the communists do.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Bill O'Reilly sounding pretty old but still seems to be
as sharp as ever on Bill Maher's Friday night HBO show,
Bill Maher, who has called Bill Maher, who's a lifelong
Democrat and voted for Kamala Harris, calling Mondami a communist
Donny's show, Where's interesting? But here this clip get into
a little old guys junk measuring contest about race that
(18:07):
actually has an interesting point to it.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Also here is Bill Maher and Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
You're disenchanted with the far left wing of the Democratic Parties, okay,
because they never met anything that was counterintuitive that they
didn't love, right, So they want to put trans people
in here, and they want to do this, and it
just dilutes the message that the Democratic Party has traditionally
(18:34):
had that we're for the workers, we want to improve
the lives of the backbone of the country. Now you're
into all this fringe garbage that Americans don't want.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I think that's your posture.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
And I wouldn't put it that way, but go ahead, okay,
but you might want to rethink because that's.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
A good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, I'm still on the air and here not but
go ahead.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I expected that.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So we did a town all on his Nation two
weeks ago from Kennedy Center, twenty three million people watch,
twenty three million. Okay, you can add up all the
hbos you want.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You're not going to come close.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You just want to correct a record.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
So interesting about that. First of all, I like the
way he characterized the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Word isn't.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Bill Maher basically agrees with him as a lifelong normal Democrat.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But that stuff about the ratings I thought fit in
with the.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Current brew haha between I don't even know what the
sides are, but that involves Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes
and Meghan Kelly and all these different people weighing in
on different sides, and how.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
That all works.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
It's very easy, especially for me being in the radio
industry my whole life, to look at traditional media and
ratings and that sort of stuff is like figuring out
where you rank. That's ridiculous. Bill O'Reilly is absolutely right there.
The number of people that could tune into a town
hall on some platform I've never even heard of, would
dwarf the number of people watching Friday Night on HBO.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, probably, although I don't I don't trust those how
many people watch numbers on the Internet, but it's it
is obviously the future.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Well, and it's clearly bigger. I mean, I just can't
you feel that it's bigger. Oh yeah, then, I mean
obviously Nick Fuentes is a bigger thing than.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Face the Nation is. Oh yeah. At this point, it's
just it just is.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I mean, if you know, well, it's hard to know
what the ratings are for anything, because like I watched
every pitch of the World series on my phone. Did
that count anywhere? I don't know. I don't know the
way they count the ratings. But like the Nick went
is Tucker Carls thing, you add in all the different platforms,
there's like sixty million views. Okay, if it's a sixth
(21:00):
of that, it's.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Still a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Compared to all these other traditional media things. And I
just I can't figure out. So Joe sent me a
clip yesterday of uh Ben Shapiro was on Megan Kelly's show,
and like, I don't watch Megan Kelly's show.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I know a lot of you do. I know a
lot of people who do.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
She's she's bigger now, I think in influence than what
she was on Fox. Oh yeah, And I don't even
know where a show is just which platform I'd have
to search to figure it out if it's YouTube or
something I've never heard of or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And she's huge with that.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
But where they where everybody fits in on this different stuff,
and who's who's saying it because they actually are flipping Nazis,
like I think Nick Fuint is this although I'm not
even share with him, or or people who are scared
of their own audience and afraid to say certain things
or don't want to get on the wrong side of
Tucker Carlson because.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
He's such a big deal.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I don't, I don't, or you got the candas Owen's thing.
I was talking to somebody about Candie Owens yesterday who's
just so in love with Candace o Ones and watches
everything she does.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't know how this fits together. Well, it's it's
an ongoing fight contest. As I made it clear on Twitter,
I thought Ben Shapiro was speaking with utter moral clarity,
whereas Megan was either afraid of her audience or afraid
of offending Tucker Carlson and some of the woke right.
(22:31):
I thought she's an utter moral coward, which I made clear.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Well, there's right or wrong, and I would prefer to
just go with right as opposed wrong. But in terms
of like who's winning battles and stuff like that, you
used to be able to tell, either through voting or
ratings for shows.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
But I have no sense of how big a deal
this Nick Fuenta is Nazi actually is because of the reasons.
You said, millions of views and down loads, but is
it the same and Nazi's downloading in a million times
or what?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
How does that translate to real world effectiveness too? I mean,
if you get a firestorm of jabbering on the internet
and astounding numbers, numbers we never thought we'd see, but
that's where it stays, and it doesn't result in votes
or legislation or whatever. You know, it can result in votes.
I think Mamdanni is proof of that. But yeah, you're right,
(23:26):
it's it's tough to get a sense of because the
technology and the platforms change so rapidly.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Some woman I don't know, but she's something I guess
on the left win after Ted Cruise, but again on
some platform I've never heard of, over the weekend saying
Ted Cruise is the real Nazi here what and Ted Cruz,
Senator from Texas, tweeted out, I don't know who this
angry lady is, but she's missing a key distinction. Fwentez
(23:51):
calls himself a Nazi. He has said Hitler is cool,
Hitler is right. I'm on team Hitler. If you explicitly
sighed and advocate for Hitler, you're an actual effing Nazi.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, but who's trolling? Who means it? Who's watching it.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
As part of the troll because they get a kick
out of seeing so many face say things over the
line but don't actually agree with the sentiment. I don't
have any concept of at this point.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I think it's just various case by case, and
you gotta make a judgment. Like Candae Owens is so
completely off the rails, I mean, really off the rails.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I guess my point would be, I'd like to know
if there's a growing movement. Sometimes you can feel a
growing movement, like the Tea Party or something like that.
I can't tell if this whole Tucker nick Flints thing
is a growing movement where it's just it just looks
that way because of the way media currently works.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, and algorithms and the rest of it. Yeah, I
don't know. I definitely think it's significant. And the reason
I felt so strongly about the Megan Kelly Shapiro conversation
was because I've become completely convinced. Not that I needed
much convincing, but if you don't police your own side,
you become corrupted by the crazies. That has been a
(25:12):
lesson that's learned over and over again. Actually, the Democratic
Socialists of America is an excellent example of that. I
was just listening to some stuff on their history and
how they started off as a very classic looking out
for the working people, particularly the Working Poor Party, and
the modern woke wack wackadoodles and the like. Revolutionary communists
(25:35):
took them over and rotted the place out from inside
and now they run it. That's what the DSA has become.
And you see it in the Democratic Party that's so
beholden to its woke left that they can't even say, uh,
a woman is a woman. You know that a man
can't decide he's a woman and becomes a woman. They
(25:56):
can't even deny that. Or boys shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Say several sports even though they probably mostly agree with that.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh yeah, virtually everybody agrees with that who's saying, but
they're afraid to say it. And in the same way,
I think if the Right allows itself to be co
opted by its wacky doodles, conservatism and patriotism will suffer
for it.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I actually texted Joe.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
I mean, this is a real life conversation he and
I were having over the weekend. I said, I wish
we were bigger, but I'm glad we're not so big.
We have to deal with some of these problems. I
don't mind saying, you know, having our whatever niche we've
got in the world of broadcast, uh radio or podcast
or just broadcasting to people, I don't mind saying the
(26:37):
Jews didn't kill Charlie Kirk, and uh and and what
else would be a good one? The Epstein list isn't
really anything, and you know whatever else I don't I
don't mind saying that out loud, because you know whatever,
I don't think we're gonna lose a giant portion of
our audience who we need to kind of pretend we
think the Jews killed Charlie Kirk to keep happy.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Just hint at it, but not to say it, because
we know it's crazy. Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
It's a weird time the internet.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I took it a little.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
It wasn't Candace, but it was Candace adjacent stuff about
how Erica Kirk was.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Working with the Jews to have her husband killed. I mean,
this is some insane ss.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah. Actually Candace has been claiming that lately.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh my god, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
What the because he wasn't sufficiently right wingy for her,
so she conspired with the Jews to kill him or something.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I was watching a video yesterday, so they had it.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
They had a clip of it was Charlie Kirk and
and his wife doing a little video thing together talking
about how they met and everything, and the guy hosting
it said, look, how long it takes her to answer
the question of how they met? Well, you want to
tell everybody how we met, honey, And she starts in
and says, how we met? Why did it take her
(27:56):
so long to answer that question? She's trying to remember
the that they came up with. I mean, it's that
sort of conspiracy nuttiness, and so like, I don't have
a concept. I'm hoping that I shouldn't even be talking
about it because it's just a small segment of society.
Why are we even acknowledging its existence? But at least
it kind of looks on media, and by knowing how
(28:18):
some of these people are being paid, how things get
monetized is not a bad indication of how big they are,
because people advertisers don't throw money around just in crazy
ways usually, and some of these people are pretty damn big,
some of you. Enough of you think Erica Kirk was
working with the Jews to have her husband killed.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, stay away from me in nut jobs.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, far away. I missed an opportunity in discussing Mumdani.
There's something I meant to say speaking of young people
in their wacky doodle politics. After a quick word from
our friends at Prize Picks. On Prize Picks, being right
can get you paid. Don't miss any of the excitement
of the sports season, whether you're football fan, basketball fan,
or both like us and always feels good to be right.
(29:04):
Prize Picks, it's super easy. Just pick two, at least two.
Player stats say more or less. If you get your
picks right, you could cash in.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah, and they've got stacks now, meaning you can pick
the same player up to three times in the same lineup.
For instance, Steph Curry, greatest shooter of all time. You
could go points, three pointers and assists, have three different
things stacks all of them in the same lineup. Download
the Prize Picks up today, use a coat Armstrong, and
you get fifty dollars in lineups after you play the
first five dollars lineup.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, you can have one football player and one basketball
player too. If you like mix sports, that's fine. Download
that Prize Picks app today again, use the code Armstrong.
They will give you fifty dollars in lineups to play
with after you play just a five dollars lineup. Again,
that's the code Armstrong to get fifty in lineups after
you play your first five dollars lineups Prize Picks. It's
good to be right.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
One thing that is clear, and we've talked about this
a lot over the years. Now we're living through a
time of incredible uncertainty. I mean, there's just no getting
a around. Things are more up in the air and
weirder than they've ever been agreed.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I mean, is anybody going to argue with that?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
And when it's like that, whether it's the economy, doesn't
make sense, or our politics don't make sense, or the
world order or whatever. It's comforting, apparently for a lot
of people to settle on some nut job theory that
explains it rather than have it just be kind of
up in the air.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah. I came across an absolutely great think piece that
called the conspiracy Theorists what was it, Modern Medievals or
something like that, explaining how similar conspiracy theories are to
a lot of medieval thought about you know, demons and
hidden forces and the rest of it. Maybe we can
get into that someday. It's a little longish, but it's
(30:44):
thought provoking. So when we were talking about Mundani earlier,
I'd forgotten one of my key realizations was, you know what,
we don't have time. I don't want to rush through it.
Why would I rush your time some sort of maniac
like I've got a head full of cocaine or something.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
No, no, Once you'd.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Be able to go through and put it in his money.
As adjectives and adverbs as you want.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Oh, I do love a good adverb. I add adverbs skillfully,
nice job, thank you, that's all on the way, stay here.
Lions Gate has released the first trailer for Michael.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
The upcoming bio pick about Michael Jackson, and like Jackson,
it starts out very dark but ends in a much
lighter tone. If that is an attempt to be honest,
that could be damned interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, huh will it be though probably some more?
Would you sell more tickets being honest about the craziness.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Hey, geography to make more money?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah? I don't know, I really don't know. Huh. So
during hour two, I think it was we talked a
bit about mcdonni's followers and how he won the affluent,
college educated vote, or at least the college educated vote.
The working class didn't vote for him, which is really
pretty interesting, and it was a lot of affluent people.
(32:16):
I thought this was interesting too. The New Jersey gi
hotties who got arrested at the end of last week
who were associated with the Michigan jihatis that got arrested.
The one Milo Cedat is the young son of a
famous poet and professor who was arrested at his father's
(32:37):
sprawling Victorian home in Mountclair, New Jersey, Montclair for allegedly
plotting a terror attack. His fellow aspiring terrorist, another product
of Montclair, who also grew up in a beautiful Victorian home,
was arrested too. So these are upper income intellectual guys.
If I was going to assign one thing to, like progress,
the progressive move but not just liberals in general, but
(32:58):
like progressive, they're all like telling people they see is
beneath them what's best for them, Yes, and they don't
want it, Like you should call yourself LATINX. No, I
don't want to.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
You know, we're voting for Mannani to help the bodego
worker and the person who rides the subway. We don't,
but we're voting for him because it's going to help you, right,
But they don't vote for him.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Longtime listeners to the show, how many times have you
heard me rant and rave about the paternalism of the left.
How they're constantly telling you you can't make it, you're
too pathetic. The only way you can make it is
of us. Wise, college educated white people fix the game
for you. Look, because you're too stupid.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Look how sad the working classes they voted for Cuomo?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Right? Yeah, for instance, So the other thing I came
up with it clicked in my head and I can't
believe I'm this slow. But please. I gotta be used
to it by now. I've been talking about the Red
Green Alliance for a long time. How Marxists team with
Islamists to, for instance, overthrow a government like in Iran,
and the Marxists and Islamists both say to each other, Yeah,
(34:01):
we'll work with you, we'll share power, it'll be great.
But behind the scenes both are saying, yeah, the minute
we're in power, we're going to kill those guys off
and we're gonna seize power. But often it's the Islamists
who triumph, because not only are they into it politically,
but they're religious zealots too. They finally figured it out.
(34:21):
You got to come up with a communist, a Marxist
who is an Islamist.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Zorn Mumdani.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
He's an Islamist who claims to be a Marxist to
gain power because remember, he has said openly and proudly,
he came to politics through the so called Palestinian issue,
including Jew hatred, and that's still what animates him. The
Marxist stuff is just to put on. He is smart
(34:51):
enough and clever enough and the product of prominent lefty academics.
And finally, okay, so did you combine the two in
one person. So you think we're misreading him talking about
his communism all the time, that that's not his that's
not his main thing. I think there is an element
of socialism in Islamism, but I think his main motivator
(35:14):
is Islamism. He's just smart enough to know, having observed
that you can attract American young people to socialists.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Well, that's an interesting that's an interesting thing to keep
an eye on. Once he takes office in January. What
is he mostly a communist or a Jew hater?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Did he get into office to fight against Jews or
to you know, take over grocery stores?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, keeping in mind, he might perceive the more successful
I am as a socialist, the more power I'll have
to push Jahadism. So I will keep that in the
closet for a while.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, he won't.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
He won't show his cards immediately, Okay. I would think
his priority will reveal itself at some point.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, I don't know that Islamist have a long, long timeline,
and as Peggy Noonan put it, he is really smart
and calculating.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Hummm, well, i'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
That will only show you as true colors if he
decides he wants to.
