Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jette and he
arms wrong get.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
From studio cere. It is the Humpty hump Day and
we are in our dimly lit room deep with from
the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications compound under
the tutelage of our general manager and judge, Ah, judge,
and then more judges after that, Judge.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The gigantic world shaking story about the tariffs. It's still
not clear whether the President has the authority to declare
a quote unquote emergency because of trade deficits and single
handedly set all these tariffs with all these countries around
the world. It hasn't worked its way through the court
system yet. There's a fair amount of doubt that he can,
(01:15):
so we might be looking at a gigantic do over.
We know, you mean all this could be called off. Yeah, wow,
I didn't know that. Yeah, I know, nobody does. Man,
Mother nature can be a bee huh ooh. True fact,
(01:36):
one of the biggest earthquakes ever measured hit Russia yesterday,
and it doesn't look like we got any awful tsunamis
My son is going to be in Hawaiian a couple
of days, and I got to say, if this had
happened while he was there, I would have been up
all night worried about it because of if you remember
the Christmas Day two thousand and four tsunami when there
(01:57):
was a nine point three earthquake in Indonesia killed the
tsunami killed a quarter of a million people, right with waves.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We've all seen the videos online.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're astonishing, with waves one hundred feet high. And that's
what I would have been worried about, you know, last night,
if i'd you know, because other people die. I guess
I don't care. I mean, that doesn't quite make sense.
But now you're allowed to care, especially about your own office.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I guess I am. That's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I am, I am. I am back to justifying
my own behavior. It will be allowed, Yes, they kill allowed.
But you know the weirdness of I don't know, vibrations
under the earth in the ocean, there were like ten
foot waves various places, but not one hundred foot waves.
How did That's one of the most unbelievable stories in
my lifetime, and it just kind of got glossed over
(02:46):
and it never gets talked about. A quarter of a
million people died in like a five minute period, right,
just stunning.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
In the modern world.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
There are a handful of of safety rules that every
human being should know, including lok left and right then left.
And also if the tide suddenly goes way way out,
that's because it's about to come way way in and
run for your freaking life. Yeah, and if I remember correctly,
you gotta be a long way in. Yes, you can't
(03:21):
just be like or up. You can't just be up
at your hotel and when you were safe AnyWho, So
that didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Thing goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I haven't seen much footage out of Russia for such
a giant earthquake. Is that a really really remote part
of Russia that it that it hit? Again? I think
it was off shore, is okay? Off shore in the
far far east of Russia. Okay, because usually when there's
a giant earthquake you see all kinds of videos of
things shaken and falling over and all that. But yeah, again,
(03:51):
mother nature can be a bee mm hmm. And then
so our other story we gotta get into. Joe's gonna
explain the whole judge thing and how the tariffs might
go away. I didn't know that. If if Trump is
handling the Epstein thing as if he wants the story
to continue on a day by day basis, he like
(04:13):
gives the news media a new nugget every day to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
As opposed to I think his intention is to end it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The man's he gave a brand new piece of information yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
If you haven't heard it, it's like, how are we
just hearing this now?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It still doesn't make me think he's like involved in
any nefarious way.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But it's like, how did you just let us know this? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right? But that's not good? Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't think it has any great significance, but it
is interesting enough to keep it rolling, right. So of
that being the fact that the main accuser of Epstein
and Maxwell worked at Mara a Lago, and indeed Epstein
Poaster as an employee. That most famous girl who has
herself from becoming so famous and her Jeffree having to
(05:04):
talk about it all the time. I've always hated that
picture because she looks like a dumb, cute girl, and
by dumb, I mean, you know, not worldly, which none
of us are when we're seventeen years old. And there
she was just a cute girl surrounded by some of
the most powerful men in the world, including Prince Andrew,
who had no good intentions whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's just I hate that picture. It's just awful. Uh.
And yes, she.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Worked for Trump, and Trump remembers her, at least according
to yesterday. That's a new nugget. Yeah, that never came
up before. That the most famous.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Girl from all this whole story.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one people picture when they're talking about this, worked
for you and you remember her.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, that's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And she went directly from mar A Lago to the
clutches of Epstein and Maxwell. And that is supposedly, according
to Trump yesterday, the falling out why they stopped talking
to each other. Right, it just seems weird. I still
don't think anything. It doesn't prove anything bad happened trump wise,
but it's just.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There's Mili a key part of the story. How did
we just learn this? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I would agree, I would agree it's crazy now and
we will we will play you some audio of Trump
talking about this. It seems very clear to me that
he was just pissed off because the guy was poaching employees.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Uh huh, But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Why does he remember her from that many years ago?
You don't remember all your employees. It caused, It caused
a falling out. Seriously, is serious enough that a guy
who was a quote unquote friend he never spoke to again. Yeah,
so I suppose some of the folks involved might stick
(06:50):
in your mind. And and you know, it's possible when
all of this came out, somebody said to him, you know,
she is to work here, could be and he was
reminded in the interim, who knows.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But again, if his goal was to keep this story
going every day, goal accomplished yesterday.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, we should start the show officially so we don't
get in trouble with the FCC. There's a major news event. Oh,
one major news event has already happened today we can mention,
and then one that's going to happen. We'll tell you
about that after this. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
on this. It is Wednesday, July thirtieth, the year twenty
twenty five, where I'm strong and getting We approve of
this program.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
All right, let's begin then.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
According to FCC rules and regulations, here we go at Mark.
He's a terrible he's a terrible fetch here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think he's a total stiff.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You talk to the guy, it's like talking to nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's like talking to a chair.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
So that chair, Jerome Powell, the guy who runs the
Federal Reserve, is going to have his conference this afternoon,
and there's a ninety five percent likelihood, according to economists,
he will not announce a cut, which will anger the President,
who will probably say more things.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Like he's a total stiff. He's like talking to a chair.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What a funny here, he's not a very good chairman
of the Fed Reserve anyway, What a.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Funny thing to say about someone. He's like talking to
a chair. Yeah, he's exist.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, oh god, I'm not gonna get into monetary policy.
But I don't look for excitement and like verve out
of my Fed chairs.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I kind of prefer that sort of guy. I don't know.
I like him to have some pizzazz bag full of glitter.
What's your social media presence, Jerome?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's nothing, nothing, little soft shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Come on, let's have some show soft shoe.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So there's that the uh he's going to announce there
isn't going to be a rake cut and uh Trump
will be very angry about that, so that'll be exciting.
And the numbers just came out right before we came
on the air. The economy grew at three percent in
the second quarter. It shrunk last quarter, So if it
had shrunked this quarter, in theory, that would have been
a recession. Thank god we avoided having to talk about that.
(09:11):
But it grew by three so fantastic. Just a quick note,
the second choice for general manager today was going to
be Corey Booker, who continues his desperate attempt And if
you're not a news junkie, you wouldn't realize this, but
Corey Booker has been conducting this desperate campaign of trying
(09:33):
to get attention and trying to move to the head
of the Democratic pack to be recognized as the ideological
leader of the Democrats these days. He's conducted a couple
of stunts where he gave the longest speech in his history,
the longest filipbuster and the longest continued, and then yesterday
he was inexplicably just bellowing and eyes bulging shouting at
(09:58):
the top of his lungs on the the well of
the Senate about a bipartisan bill that was about to
be passed by unanimous consent, but he decided to tilt
at the windmill. And it's just it's unintentionally hilarious. But again,
it's so ineffectual. Nobody's talking about it, which is actually
the best part. Mark Zuckerberg announced he thinks in the
(10:20):
near future, all human beings are going to have super intelligence.
We'll find out what the hell that means. Lots of
good stuff to talk about today, and I look forward
to getting into it. We've got Katie's headlines on the
way we got the bag of mail. The economy grew
at three percent, So did I. I try to keep
right in with the economy. I'm going to three percent quarterly. Wow,
(10:41):
I'll stay here. Our text line is four one, five
two nine KFTC. Did I hear correctly this morning? Maybe
I copped a buzz from my mouth wash during the
morning meeting. Did Joe Getty say there's another day of
controversy around that genes ad we discussed yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh, it refuses to die. Jack outrage entirely fake.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Spreading across the Internet, and only the Internet. America is
a flame with the Sydney Sweeney good Jens had I
thought it was too dumb to barely remark upon yesterday.
There's day two of this. Okay, I'll be interested to
hear what's being said.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, my analysis coming up.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stay with us for an utterly, utterly idiotic story. Speaking
of which, Katie, you may realize that we get many
thousands of emails, and you know, as this email address
has existed now for a little while now, it's completely
clogged with guest pitches and pr hacks and all sorts
of crap that we don't want to get instead of
(11:47):
just you good people. But this is my favorite guest
pitch that we've received via email so far today. Canning
cucumbers this year. That's a good that hooks at how
many people do they hook like my mom and many
other grandma's. If you're thinking of cannon cucumbers this year,
(12:08):
stay with us. I grew up in a world where
everybody's mom canned. That's just I don't know if it
was time and location or what, but it was just
like everybody did it every year.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's kind of I was going to can some peaches
and some.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Pickles and smokra, but not cucumbers.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
This show sucks. This cannons. You say canning's making a comeback.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It's like, uh, there's there's a lot of people doing
tutorials on how to do canning on various social media.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Cool, there's nothing wrong with canning. It's a fine way
to preserve food. Sure them on as a guest. Let's
hear about it. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the leads story with Katie Green Katie and.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
This is the lead story everywhere, but starting with NBC.
Tsunami waves reach Hawaii and California after quake off of Russia.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But small waves, not giant, bloodthirsty, murderous waves, or just
gigantic swells that just keep coming and coming and coming.
From the Washington everybody, I'm sorry because everybody picks like
the giant perfect storm wave.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But often it's just a swell. It just rises. Yeah,
right exactly from the Washington Post.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
EPA moves to end climate regulation under the Clean Air Act.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I was talking to a person involved in one of
your major American car companies yesterday about how the whole
thing for that major American car company. The big push
for all the electric stuff is over all the investment
having to put in electric chargers and plan for this
and that and a certain percentage of your fleet being
(13:52):
electric off just as gone.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And the moved by the EPA is enormous.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It could be just indescribably big tsunami pig in the
back in the Obama days, so they decided, yeah, yeah,
we can regulate greenhouse gases because at a climate change. Yeah, yeah,
we can do whatever we want. And the courts deferred
to them. And Trump's EBA is saying, no, no, that's silly,
that's not our job.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
From Fox News.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Two arrested in brutal Cincinnati mob attack. One was freed
on bail despite serious charges.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I saw watch this video, and I don't plan to
I don't, I don't. I don't like seeing that sort
of Yeah, that's what I understand. But and I have
yet to hear a single media outlet say it's a
bunch of back black people whooping up on a white guy,
even though if the roles would were reversed, that would
be not only included, that would be the headline around
the country.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What was the fight about the slate night outside of.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, outside of a club or yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
From Breitbart dot Com.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
The New York Times finally admits famine photo hoax gods
and child had pre existing health.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Problems, while The New York Times admitted that Okay, yesterday,
yes they did.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Interesting, it's possible they didn't know that when they posted it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
From newsley pose, Yeah, okay, go ahead, Katy.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Well no, but it's like your news outlet, like you
should look into that before.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You post it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, one of the problems they have, and I was
going to get into this later if we have time,
is that a lot of the stringers, the local people,
the part timers, the you know, temporary employees that big
news organizations use because they're on the ground already, they're
incredibly biased, and so they're more than happy to feed
their editors at the New York Times propaganda and the
(15:42):
New York Times just laughs it up and prints it
because it's sensationalistic.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
From The New York Post, chat GPT passes that I
am not a robot test a terrifying step toward AI
developing a mind.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Of its own. Okay, I want to know more about that.
Send me that protect or.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Vital organs and your your your juices, Joe's coming for us.
Joe is certain that artificial intelligence mostly wants variety of
human juices.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I don't I don't quite get it. But and organs.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Right from USA Today, Pete Sue's the Main Lobster Festival
says sixteen thousand lobsters were boiled, alive and tortured.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The first part is true. I don't know about the
second part.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
M Lobster from Steady Fines, would you leave your partner
for one million dollars? Forty three percent of Americans say yes?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Almost Wow. I want to talk about that later too, Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And finally from the Babylon b federal judge orders Sydney
Sweeney to gain one hundred pounds and get.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
One of those butch haircuts. Yeah, no, kidding, what, I
don't know? How is it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's day two of that scandal. We'll get to that later.
We got real stuff to talk about first.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
The backlash to the backlash suggests it's a bunch of
unattractive online creatures who are jealous of her beauty. All right,
it's not ideological. It's jealousy, woman scorn. More people need
to put down their phone and you know, touch grass.
As the saying goes, we got some news coming up.
(17:22):
Stay with us, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Here guys, right now, millions of Americans are dealing with
an intense heat wave, with temperatures along the East Coast
nearing triple digits. I saw some products are releasing special
ads reminding people to stay safe. For example, here check
out this first one I saw.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Power a power through and beat the heat. Nice. And
here's another one here, Banana Boat. Save your skin and
love the sun. It's cool. Here's another one stor Dash.
It's one hundred degrees. If you want pad tie, pick
it up yourself, Paul.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Here's another one over here, Campbell's chunky clam chowder.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Who is this in a heat wave? I think, I
don't know. I don't know what's going on with these.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Advertising soup. Yeah, what is it a heat dome. It's
a it's a life threatening heat dome. Its not just
any heat dome. Life threatening heat dome for a lot
of country, which proves climate changes. So locally, in northern California,
where we are based, it is among the coolest julyes.
It's in the top five coolest Julys on record. Last
(18:37):
year it was July was one of the top five
hottest Julyes on record, and of course both are an
indication of climate change. So you can't win for losing
in the pointing out, hey, now it's cool game. Although
I was talking to an Easterner yes just yesterday about
(18:59):
heat and they said, yeah, it's just hotter everywhere, and
I said, that's not actually true, and I pointed out
the uh, the statistic about California and she was completely unaware,
completely unaware. Whereas every single you know, heat record that's set,
it's trumpeted and repeated, sure, and tied to climate change
(19:19):
over and over again. You could you can't blain people
for having a twisted perception of reality when you know
the voices they depend on, give them, you know, one
sided inter or over again, and that you know, analysis
could be applied to several different stories we're going to
talk about today. You're right, the evening newscast, which hardly
anybody watches anymore, but on your evening major newscasts like
ABC Evening News, they do weather like they lead with
(19:40):
weather every night, and it's hundreds of cities setting records Okay, well,
how about all the cities that are setting records the
other direction that's as interesting, isn't it? From a data standpoint,
it's as significant. I mean because I'm not sure either
are well and from a wow, that's interesting perspective, which
(20:01):
is kind of what they're going for.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Uh, yes, it's absolutely valid.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, how the coolest summer in thirty years in California?
How do you leave out the most populated state in
the nation is having one of the coolest summers it's
ever had when you're talking about how freaking hot it
is in Nashville, As if we.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Needed more evidence as to what the media is up to.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But you know, it's I think that's a notable example
because heat does.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like that. I like the other one better, But if
we have that's.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Our jingle for life threatening heat dome, which we mentioned
five minutes ago. So on a totally different topic, Oh,
you're going to talk about the economy, right or yeah?
At the breaking news that is good news for the
Trump administration, I think is that the economy grew by
three percent.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It's shrunk last quarter.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
If you'll remember, three percent growth is not you know,
call your mom exciting, but compared to shrinking. It's damn good.
That's the annualized right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So, speaking of
the economy that actually applies to you and me in
our lives, some interesting grocery store news. Believe it or not.
(21:17):
I love this headline, Welcome to the grocery I don't
love the idea. I love the headline. Joe, just give
the headline. Okay, welcome to the grocery store where prices
change one hundred times a day. I didn't know that
electronic shelf labels are spreading at grocery stores in Europe
and now in the US, which enables instant price drops.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Wow, but the.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Surge pricing as well. Wait a minute, yeah it works
both ways. But how has this not happened already with
electronics being so cheap?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, this will be everywhere very soon, and.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It'll be the olden days of when the price just
stayed the same.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, this clearly is going to happen, And so five o'clock,
when the grocery store is packed, things are going to
be more expensive, just like the cheeseburger Wendy's is more
expensive at six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Now, yeah, I was gonna get to that but that's
absolutely truth.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
The way it's presented is, and they quote the head
of Norway's biggest grocery store chain. They actually have a
thousand locations.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah ha, goog Nublobin, that's the name of the grocery chain.
Ask for it by name.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So he says they can change up to a hundred
times a day, prices more often during holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
The idea is to match or beat the competition.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
With the touch of a button, we lower the prices
maybe ten cents, our competitors do the same.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It kind of gets to be a race to the bottom.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm a little confused by that because as I'm standing
in the aisle about to buy my gravy for Thanksgiving,
I don't know what the other grocery store's price is.
Or I'm not going to get in my car and
drive over there, am I.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's sort of second by second competition seems a little
weird unless somebody's on an app or something like that,
which is certainly possible. I've checked prices online while at
a store. It'd be incredibly cumbersome to do it when
you're shopping for groceries. I'd have to be for a
big item, sure, but well, my bananas. One disturbing aspect
(23:17):
of this. I mean, first of all, the surge pricing
idea you mentioned is absolutely disturbing because you know, from
as you say, from five to six thirty, they'll just
tweak everything up by half a.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Percent, not enough to really notice.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Why. I'll get you because they know you're in a
hurry to get dinner together. You're not comparison shopping or
anything like that.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, is everybody doing it?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Is it just Wendy's that's doing the thing where they
charge more during dinner time than they charge the rest
of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And I've had that experience.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I don't know, because they don't eat fast food because
I'm better than Because we had a baconator that was
like ten dollars a couple of weeks ago, because they're
a better name for a burger than that than anywhere
and even Norway.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But it was like six thirty, so it was ten dollars. Yeah,
if that catches on, whoom, I'll be darned.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah. And the other aspect of this, which it's funny,
I don't it's a long article, and who has time
to read the whole thing? But one aspect of this
that immediately leapt to my mind is all right, So
there I am in the aisle.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
What am I buying? In this case? Salsa? We just
needed salcy yesterday, so.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm getting restaurant style medium salsa. Mild is bland, it's
too sweet, man, the hot Why do I want.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
To suffer during my meals? I'm a medium guy.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
So anyway, there's my medium salsa, restaurant style, no preservatives.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It is two ninety nine. Then by the time I
get to the register it's three forty nine. Oh, what's
to stop that?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
How would you not do that? Because you don't know?
Maybe I'm a slow shot. I'm one of those old
people shuffle around real slow. I'm at the grocery. I
got a lot of crap to buy thirty five minutes.
There's no way. Yeah, you don't you know what the
price was? And I grabbed it off the show. Huh,
that's a good one. Well, of course, Elizabeth had a
(25:14):
cashier get so mad at the person in front of
me last night at the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
She was steaming, yes, and then she complained about the
woman after she left in front of mess. It was
very entertaining. I should tell that story later. Yeah, I
want to hear more about it after a word from
our friends. Oh more on the grocery thing, including Elizabeth
Warren standing up for the consumer and in favor of
incredibly suffocating government regulations.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, she can explain to us how the native people
did it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh boy, Oh, it means so much to feel safe
at home and safe that you can leave your home
simply safe. Home security is all about that feeling of safety.
It's a system that works to prevent break ins from
ever happening.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
In the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Tribe, we had fifteen different words for grocery store. She'll say, Oh,
back to simply safe. So I'm happy when I pull
away from my house as I often mentioned, to see
the simply safe sign.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
One, I hope it alerts bad guys.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But two, it's just the fact that I got the
sensors and the cameras and all the different stuff and
the AI powered live monitoring agents detecting suspicious activity. This
is all for about a dollar a day and no
contracts with simply Safe. And again, the AI powered cameras
and live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around your property.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Someone's lurking.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Agents can talk to them in real time, turn on
the spotlights called the cops, proactively deterring the break in
before it happens. Visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong
to claim fifty percent off a new system with professional
monitoring plant gets first month free. That's simply safe dot
com slash armstrong. There's no safe flight, simply say so.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The woman in front of me, mom and her daughter.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
She had her She carries it from her car shop
bag that she brings because she's a good environmentalist.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I don't do that, but yes, Katie.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
People who people who work in grocery stores hate those things,
by the way, because people don't clean them out and
they reek.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Okay, that explains a little bit of the anger then,
But so she's a good human that better than me
that she brings her own bag to brittershmithth So she
did all her shopping. She had all her stuff in
a bag and then she just sat the bag on
the conveyor belt. She didn't take the stuff out, she
just left it in the bag. And I thought to myself,
I thought, Hm, you can do that, or people do that.
I just I thought, as I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Standing by that.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm not going to make the busy, busy checker unpack
your bag to then you know, run it through the
register and then repack it. I thought, I didn't know
that was a thing, and maybe I'll if I ever
get one of those bags, I'll do it in the future. Anyway,
clearly you don't, because when then that bag got up
to the checker, the checker side really hard and said uh,
because the mom was like talking to her daughter and
(27:54):
they said, ma'am, uh uh, we appreciate it if you
take everything out of the bag. And then she started
taking everything out and slamming it on the conveyor belt.
The checker did like uh, grunting with everyone and sighing
with every single.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
One of them. Mike a big show how unheavy she
was at this.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And then and then the mom I could tell, was like,
who didn't hear her when when she got dressed down,
She didn't hear that part, but she heard the slamming.
And then she comes over and she's looking at her
because I think she's wondering about her chips and her
you know, sold up eggs whatever, her now flat bread
getting slammed on the thing. And the checker said, do
(28:33):
you have a question, like why are you standing over
your mica? God, I thought I was going to see
an actual fight or something. I had my phone out video,
but no, I don't have a question. Yeah, the question
is why are you slamming all my stuff down on
the conveyor belt? And then so she slams it all down,
rings it all through, everything goes through, They're done. Then
(28:54):
when I get up there, the checker doesn't pay any
attention to me. She's running mic through stuff and talking
to bag girl. What is wrong with that woman? Did
you see what she did? Did she even know what
she was doing? I've reached into that bag. I don't
know what's inside there. So she's bitching about the person
in front of me to the checker while she's bringing
me up. I was very entertaining. Wow, and it reminded
(29:16):
me of the thing I've been talking about for I
don't know how well I've applied it, but it's the
thing I've talked about. It started with TSA agents, but
just recognizing that you can you can be mad about
something or not be mad about something. The outcome is
gonna be the same, but you're gonna feel so much
better if you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Just let it go. Yeah, yep, roll your eyes and
think what a putts and move on with your deck.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That didn't make her life better getting all worked up
about it. She didn't change that person's behavior any No, sir,
nothing was accomplished other than you were angry and you
put angry vibes out into the world.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Some people have a lot better ability to do that
than others, though. It's kind of the way you're made.
Ah So, speaking of grocery stores, I think this is
worth mentioning. As socialist Zora Mamdani proposes government owned supermarkets
for New York City. Kansas City's experiment in subsidized store
stores are absolutely flopping. Casey Sunfresh, which opened in twenty eighteen,
(30:15):
was taken over by a nonprofit a couple of years ago,
is now on the brink of closure amid spiraling crime,
plummeting sales, and empty shelves in an absolute replay of
the Soviet Union. And it's you know, pretty surprised Kansas
City tried government run grocery stores. The well, the city
itself is pretty blue. But the store lost eight hundred
(30:38):
and eighty five thousand dollars last year. Now has only
about four thousand shoppers a week. Despite a recent three
quarter of a million dollar cash infusion from the city,
the shelves are almost bare.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
We expect us out of Berkeley or Austin or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure somebody made some sort of food
desert argument and it caught out with the city council
what have you, and they gave it a try.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It's just it's a miserable failure. Do you have a question,
why are you slamming all my stuff on the conveyor belt?
That's my question. That was entertaining for me. It was
like having a floor show while I waited in line. Yeah,
it sounds like you got it could have gone another way.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
If if the mom had decided to say one thing,
I think we could have gone full on. Somebody would
have swung on somebody. Yeah yeah, well, and the whole
one person not hearing what the other one said dynamic.
I've seen that many times, the other person deciding that
they're defying me, and I'm like, no, she was talking
(31:42):
at the same time you were talking. She didn't comprehend it.
You can see it in her face.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
But look if you're gonna fight on the conveyor belt.
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We got mailbag next the here. I hope you're a fine.
We have much news to tell you about throughout the
day to day.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I hope you can stay with us. Indeed, here's your
freedom woman. Quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
A series from a modern hero, Javier Milay of Argentina.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, him and his weird dog obsession.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But I like his economics and as nutty sideburns, but
his economics are wonderful.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
We're gonna do a series from him. I just was
reading one of his speeches. Here's a here.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
First, collective experiments are never the solution of the problems
that afflict as citizens of the world.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Rather, they are the root cause.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Collectivist experiments A men to that, over and over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
We have to prove that, Eh, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Mail bag featuring my favorite pie related email perhaps of
all time. You can drop us a note at mail
bag at Armstrong you getdy dot com. That's the email address.
The pie, the deserter pie, the ancient mathematical equation, the dessert. Indeed,
all right, the dessert one of your favorite pastimes, no
(33:03):
doubt downing Pie. This is from Matt Jay. Guys reporting
from Fort Lauderdale. Here for work, sadly dining solo like
a lonely CIA agent in a beachside rom com, eating
crab cakes with a view of the Atlantic, in a
creeping sense that the world is falling apart from the
burbank butt sniffer, why is this even a thing to
(33:26):
inflation to the real possibility of war breaking out while
I'm still figuring out how to expense parking. But then
a miracle, a slice of Key Lime pie, so glorious,
Sotangian smooth that for one brief moment I forgot the
world was on fire. I even forgot that I was
sitting alone. I became one with the pie. It didn't
fix the world, but it did make me forget that
(33:48):
it was broken.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's pretty good. Where is.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Uh morel of the story? Dessert is greater than doom.
Keep fighting the good fight, Matt Jay. Matt Jay is
in Fort Lauderdale, Okay. Most of my pie in South
Beach and Key West, where they know what they're doing
with Key Lime pie. There. It's one of my favorite
parts of the Southeastern United States, where I spend a
fair amount of Time, Key Lime Pie, Holy Cow, Moving
(34:14):
all uh Alnonymous Beautiful Walnut Creek, California says a little
supplement to your discussion on Gaza on how the Left
views Israeli's as white oppressors. The Left lights to create
a simple message in order to influence and mobilize more
easily its simple followers the best I can figure, and
the Israel versus Palestine conflict fits this paradigm the way
(34:36):
they describe it. The Israeli Jewish population is actually more
than fifty percent brown and black by the left's own standards.
More than half are descended from Arab Jews, brown expelled
from Arab countries like Iraq after nineteen forty eight, and
about one hundred and sixty thousand are descended from Ethiopian
black Jews rescued from Ethiopia since late nineteen nineties. But
of course this information might muddy its message. Show best
(34:58):
to ignore it and repeat the white colonial to pressure stick.
I actually have more detail on that story, Al, but
you're one hundred percent right about that. Yeah, it would
it would do, It would do Israeli Israel a lot
of good to somehow present to the world. The different
hue of colors of their population because I knew that
(35:18):
was true, But I don't think most people do. And
that would help, because you know, if you're if you're
built in such a way that white equals bad, presenting
yourself as a white country doesn't see you any good. Yeah,
I suppose they're, although they don't present themselves that way exactly. Well,
they just don't do the opposite, right, I'm saying you
should somehow actively do the opposite, and I don't know
(35:40):
how you would do it, Benatona ad maybe uh the
Brandy JT in Livermore Rights, Sidney Sweeney fake controversy. So
a young, beautiful, sexy Hollywood starlet making a buck by
using your popularity and her good looks to sell more
genes is racist, akin to Hitler's dream of a master race.
But the football dad talking to his sons about the
(36:02):
dangers of diluting their black gens via white wives is a.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Non issue.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Because it doesn't fit into the white supremacy progressive paradigm. Well, yeah,
it's hypocrisy, it's stupid, it's ridiculous, boy, and I's believed
by a hell of a lot of young people. Controversy
about hotties and gene commercials. Has been going on since
I was a child, so that's just a tone genre.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
From studio cere. It is the Humpty hump Day and
we are in our dimly lit room deep with from
the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications compound under
the tutelage of our general manager and judge, Ah, judge,
and then more judges after that, Judge.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The gigantic world shaking story about the tariffs. It's still
not clear whether the President has the authority to declare
a quote unquote emergency because of trade deficits and single
handedly set all these tariffs with all these countries around
the world. It hasn't worked its way through the court
system yet. There's a fair amount of doubt that he can,
(01:15):
so we might be looking at a gigantic do over.
We know, you mean all this could be called off. Yeah, wow,
I didn't know that. Yeah, I know, nobody does. Man,
Mother nature can be a bee huh ooh. True fact,
(01:36):
one of the biggest earthquakes ever measured hit Russia yesterday,
and it doesn't look like we got any awful tsunamis
My son is going to be in Hawaiian a couple
of days, and I got to say, if this had
happened while he was there, I would have been up
all night worried about it because of if you remember
the Christmas Day two thousand and four tsunami when there
(01:57):
was a nine point three earthquake in Indonesia killed the
tsunami killed a quarter of a million people, right with waves.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
We've all seen the videos online.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're astonishing, with waves one hundred feet high. And that's
what I would have been worried about, you know, last night,
if i'd you know, because other people die. I guess
I don't care. I mean, that doesn't quite make sense.
But now you're allowed to care, especially about your own office.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I guess I am. That's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I am, I am. I am back to justifying
my own behavior. It will be allowed, Yes, they kill allowed.
But you know the weirdness of I don't know, vibrations
under the earth in the ocean, there were like ten
foot waves various places, but not one hundred foot waves.
How did That's one of the most unbelievable stories in
my lifetime, and it just kind of got glossed over
(02:46):
and it never gets talked about. A quarter of a
million people died in like a five minute period, right,
just stunning.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
In the modern world.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
There are a handful of of safety rules that every
human being should know, including lok left and right then left.
And also if the tide suddenly goes way way out,
that's because it's about to come way way in and
run for your freaking life. Yeah, and if I remember correctly,
you gotta be a long way in. Yes, you can't
(03:21):
just be like or up. You can't just be up
at your hotel and when you were safe AnyWho, So
that didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Thing goodness.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I haven't seen much footage out of Russia for such
a giant earthquake. Is that a really really remote part
of Russia that it that it hit? Again? I think
it was off shore, is okay? Off shore in the
far far east of Russia. Okay, because usually when there's
a giant earthquake you see all kinds of videos of
things shaken and falling over and all that. But yeah, again,
(03:51):
mother nature can be a bee mm hmm. And then
so our other story we gotta get into. Joe's gonna
explain the whole judge thing and how the tariffs might
go away. I didn't know that. If if Trump is
handling the Epstein thing as if he wants the story
to continue on a day by day basis, he like
(04:13):
gives the news media a new nugget every day to
talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
As opposed to I think his intention is to end it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The man's he gave a brand new piece of information yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
If you haven't heard it, it's like, how are we
just hearing this now?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It still doesn't make me think he's like involved in
any nefarious way.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But it's like, how did you just let us know this? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right? But that's not good? Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't think it has any great significance, but it
is interesting enough to keep it rolling, right. So of
that being the fact that the main accuser of Epstein
and Maxwell worked at Mara a Lago, and indeed Epstein
Poaster as an employee. That most famous girl who has
herself from becoming so famous and her Jeffree having to
(05:04):
talk about it all the time. I've always hated that
picture because she looks like a dumb, cute girl, and
by dumb, I mean, you know, not worldly, which none
of us are when we're seventeen years old. And there
she was just a cute girl surrounded by some of
the most powerful men in the world, including Prince Andrew,
who had no good intentions whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's just I hate that picture. It's just awful. Uh.
And yes, she.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Worked for Trump, and Trump remembers her, at least according
to yesterday. That's a new nugget. Yeah, that never came
up before. That the most famous.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Girl from all this whole story.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one people picture when they're talking about this, worked
for you and you remember her.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, that's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And she went directly from mar A Lago to the
clutches of Epstein and Maxwell. And that is supposedly, according
to Trump yesterday, the falling out why they stopped talking
to each other. Right, it just seems weird. I still
don't think anything. It doesn't prove anything bad happened trump wise,
but it's just.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There's Mili a key part of the story. How did
we just learn this? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I would agree, I would agree it's crazy now and
we will we will play you some audio of Trump
talking about this. It seems very clear to me that
he was just pissed off because the guy was poaching employees.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Uh huh, But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Why does he remember her from that many years ago?
You don't remember all your employees. It caused, It caused
a falling out. Seriously, is serious enough that a guy
who was a quote unquote friend he never spoke to again. Yeah,
so I suppose some of the folks involved might stick
(06:50):
in your mind. And and you know, it's possible when
all of this came out, somebody said to him, you know,
she is to work here, could be and he was
reminded in the interim, who knows.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But again, if his goal was to keep this story
going every day, goal accomplished yesterday.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, we should start the show officially so we don't
get in trouble with the FCC. There's a major news event. Oh,
one major news event has already happened today we can mention,
and then one that's going to happen. We'll tell you
about that after this. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
on this. It is Wednesday, July thirtieth, the year twenty
twenty five, where I'm strong and getting We approve of
this program.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
All right, let's begin then.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
According to FCC rules and regulations, here we go at Mark.
He's a terrible he's a terrible fetch here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I think he's a total stiff.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You talk to the guy, it's like talking to nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's like talking to a chair.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
So that chair, Jerome Powell, the guy who runs the
Federal Reserve, is going to have his conference this afternoon,
and there's a ninety five percent likelihood, according to economists,
he will not announce a cut, which will anger the President,
who will probably say more things.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Like he's a total stiff. He's like talking to a chair.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What a funny here, he's not a very good chairman
of the Fed Reserve anyway, What a.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Funny thing to say about someone. He's like talking to
a chair. Yeah, he's exist.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, oh god, I'm not gonna get into monetary policy.
But I don't look for excitement and like verve out
of my Fed chairs.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I kind of prefer that sort of guy. I don't know.
I like him to have some pizzazz bag full of glitter.
What's your social media presence, Jerome?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's nothing, nothing, little soft shoe.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Come on, let's have some show soft shoe.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
So there's that the uh he's going to announce there
isn't going to be a rake cut and uh Trump
will be very angry about that, so that'll be exciting.
And the numbers just came out right before we came
on the air. The economy grew at three percent in
the second quarter. It shrunk last quarter, So if it
had shrunked this quarter, in theory, that would have been
a recession. Thank god we avoided having to talk about that.
(09:11):
But it grew by three so fantastic. Just a quick note,
the second choice for general manager today was going to
be Corey Booker, who continues his desperate attempt And if
you're not a news junkie, you wouldn't realize this, but
Corey Booker has been conducting this desperate campaign of trying
(09:33):
to get attention and trying to move to the head
of the Democratic pack to be recognized as the ideological
leader of the Democrats these days. He's conducted a couple
of stunts where he gave the longest speech in his history,
the longest filipbuster and the longest continued, and then yesterday
he was inexplicably just bellowing and eyes bulging shouting at
(09:58):
the top of his lungs on the the well of
the Senate about a bipartisan bill that was about to
be passed by unanimous consent, but he decided to tilt
at the windmill. And it's just it's unintentionally hilarious. But again,
it's so ineffectual. Nobody's talking about it, which is actually
the best part. Mark Zuckerberg announced he thinks in the
(10:20):
near future, all human beings are going to have super intelligence.
We'll find out what the hell that means. Lots of
good stuff to talk about today, and I look forward
to getting into it. We've got Katie's headlines on the
way we got the bag of mail. The economy grew
at three percent, So did I. I try to keep
right in with the economy. I'm going to three percent quarterly. Wow,
(10:41):
I'll stay here. Our text line is four one, five
two nine KFTC. Did I hear correctly this morning? Maybe
I copped a buzz from my mouth wash during the
morning meeting. Did Joe Getty say there's another day of
controversy around that genes ad we discussed yesterday?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh, it refuses to die. Jack outrage entirely fake.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Spreading across the Internet, and only the Internet. America is
a flame with the Sydney Sweeney good Jens had I
thought it was too dumb to barely remark upon yesterday.
There's day two of this. Okay, I'll be interested to
hear what's being said.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, my analysis coming up.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stay with us for an utterly, utterly idiotic story. Speaking
of which, Katie, you may realize that we get many
thousands of emails, and you know, as this email address
has existed now for a little while now, it's completely
clogged with guest pitches and pr hacks and all sorts
of crap that we don't want to get instead of
(11:47):
just you good people. But this is my favorite guest
pitch that we've received via email so far today. Canning
cucumbers this year. That's a good that hooks at how
many people do they hook like my mom and many
other grandma's. If you're thinking of cannon cucumbers this year,
(12:08):
stay with us. I grew up in a world where
everybody's mom canned. That's just I don't know if it
was time and location or what, but it was just
like everybody did it every year.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's kind of I was going to can some peaches
and some.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Pickles and smokra, but not cucumbers.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
This show sucks. This cannons. You say canning's making a comeback.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
It's like, uh, there's there's a lot of people doing
tutorials on how to do canning on various social media.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Cool, there's nothing wrong with canning. It's a fine way
to preserve food. Sure them on as a guest. Let's
hear about it. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the leads story with Katie Green Katie and.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
This is the lead story everywhere, but starting with NBC.
Tsunami waves reach Hawaii and California after quake off of Russia.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But small waves, not giant, bloodthirsty, murderous waves, or just
gigantic swells that just keep coming and coming and coming.
From the Washington everybody, I'm sorry because everybody picks like
the giant perfect storm wave.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But often it's just a swell. It just rises. Yeah,
right exactly from the Washington Post.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
EPA moves to end climate regulation under the Clean Air Act.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I was talking to a person involved in one of
your major American car companies yesterday about how the whole
thing for that major American car company. The big push
for all the electric stuff is over all the investment
having to put in electric chargers and plan for this
and that and a certain percentage of your fleet being
(13:52):
electric off just as gone.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
And the moved by the EPA is enormous.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It could be just indescribably big tsunami pig in the
back in the Obama days, so they decided, yeah, yeah,
we can regulate greenhouse gases because at a climate change. Yeah, yeah,
we can do whatever we want. And the courts deferred
to them. And Trump's EBA is saying, no, no, that's silly,
that's not our job.

Two arrested in brutal Cincinnati mob attack. One was freed
on bail despite serious charges.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I saw watch this video, and I don't plan to
I don't, I don't. I don't like seeing that sort
of Yeah, that's what I understand. But and I have
yet to hear a single media outlet say it's a
bunch of back black people whooping up on a white guy,
even though if the roles would were reversed, that would
be not only included, that would be the headline around
the country.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What was the fight about the slate night outside of.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, outside of a club or yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
From Breitbart dot Com.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
The New York Times finally admits famine photo hoax gods
and child had pre existing health.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Problems, while The New York Times admitted that Okay, yesterday,
yes they did.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Interesting, it's possible they didn't know that when they posted it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
From newsley pose, Yeah, okay, go ahead, Katy.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Well no, but it's like your news outlet, like you
should look into that before.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You post it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, one of the problems they have, and I was
going to get into this later if we have time,
is that a lot of the stringers, the local people,
the part timers, the you know, temporary employees that big
news organizations use because they're on the ground already, they're
incredibly biased, and so they're more than happy to feed
their editors at the New York Times propaganda and the
(15:42):
New York Times just laughs it up and prints it
because it's sensationalistic.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
From The New York Post, chat GPT passes that I
am not a robot test a terrifying step toward AI
developing a mind.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Of its own. Okay, I want to know more about that.
Send me that protect or.

Vital organs and your your your juices, Joe's coming for us.
Joe is certain that artificial intelligence mostly wants variety of
human juices.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I don't I don't quite get it. But and organs.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Right from USA Today, Pete Sue's the Main Lobster Festival
says sixteen thousand lobsters were boiled, alive and tortured.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
The first part is true. I don't know about the
second part.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
M Lobster from Steady Fines, would you leave your partner
for one million dollars? Forty three percent of Americans say yes?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Almost Wow. I want to talk about that later too, Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And finally from the Babylon b federal judge orders Sydney
Sweeney to gain one hundred pounds and get.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
One of those butch haircuts. Yeah, no, kidding, what, I
don't know? How is it?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's day two of that scandal. We'll get to that later.
We got real stuff to talk about first.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
The backlash to the backlash suggests it's a bunch of
unattractive online creatures who are jealous of her beauty. All right,
it's not ideological. It's jealousy, woman scorn. More people need
to put down their phone and you know, touch grass.
As the saying goes, we got some news coming up.
(17:22):
Stay with us, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Here guys, right now, millions of Americans are dealing with
an intense heat wave, with temperatures along the East Coast
nearing triple digits. I saw some products are releasing special
ads reminding people to stay safe. For example, here check
out this first one I saw.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Power a power through and beat the heat. Nice. And
here's another one here, Banana Boat. Save your skin and
love the sun. It's cool. Here's another one stor Dash.
It's one hundred degrees. If you want pad tie, pick
it up yourself, Paul.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Here's another one over here, Campbell's chunky clam chowder.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Who is this in a heat wave? I think, I
don't know. I don't know what's going on with these.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Advertising soup. Yeah, what is it a heat dome. It's
a it's a life threatening heat dome. Its not just
any heat dome. Life threatening heat dome for a lot
of country, which proves climate changes. So locally, in northern California,
where we are based, it is among the coolest julyes.
It's in the top five coolest Julys on record. Last
(18:37):
year it was July was one of the top five
hottest Julyes on record, and of course both are an
indication of climate change. So you can't win for losing
in the pointing out, hey, now it's cool game. Although
I was talking to an Easterner yes just yesterday about
(18:59):
heat and they said, yeah, it's just hotter everywhere, and
I said, that's not actually true, and I pointed out
the uh, the statistic about California and she was completely unaware,
completely unaware. Whereas every single you know, heat record that's set,
it's trumpeted and repeated, sure, and tied to climate change
(19:19):
over and over again. You could you can't blain people
for having a twisted perception of reality when you know
the voices they depend on, give them, you know, one
sided inter or over again, and that you know, analysis
could be applied to several different stories we're going to
talk about today. You're right, the evening newscast, which hardly
anybody watches anymore, but on your evening major newscasts like
ABC Evening News, they do weather like they lead with
(19:40):
weather every night, and it's hundreds of cities setting records Okay, well,
how about all the cities that are setting records the
other direction that's as interesting, isn't it? From a data standpoint,
it's as significant. I mean because I'm not sure either
are well and from a wow, that's interesting perspective, which
(20:01):
is kind of what they're going for.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Uh, yes, it's absolutely valid.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, how the coolest summer in thirty years in California?
How do you leave out the most populated state in
the nation is having one of the coolest summers it's
ever had when you're talking about how freaking hot it
is in Nashville, As if we.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Needed more evidence as to what the media is up to.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But you know, it's I think that's a notable example
because heat does.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like that. I like the other one better, But if
we have that's.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Our jingle for life threatening heat dome, which we mentioned
five minutes ago. So on a totally different topic, Oh,
you're going to talk about the economy, right or yeah?
At the breaking news that is good news for the
Trump administration, I think is that the economy grew by
three percent.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
It's shrunk last quarter.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
If you'll remember, three percent growth is not you know,
call your mom exciting, but compared to shrinking. It's damn good.
That's the annualized right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So, speaking of
the economy that actually applies to you and me in
our lives, some interesting grocery store news. Believe it or not.
(21:17):
I love this headline, Welcome to the grocery I don't
love the idea. I love the headline. Joe, just give
the headline. Okay, welcome to the grocery store where prices
change one hundred times a day. I didn't know that
electronic shelf labels are spreading at grocery stores in Europe
and now in the US, which enables instant price drops.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Wow, but the.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Surge pricing as well. Wait a minute, yeah it works
both ways. But how has this not happened already with
electronics being so cheap?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah, this will be everywhere very soon, and.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
It'll be the olden days of when the price just
stayed the same.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, this clearly is going to happen, And so five o'clock,
when the grocery store is packed, things are going to
be more expensive, just like the cheeseburger Wendy's is more
expensive at six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Now, yeah, I was gonna get to that but that's
absolutely truth.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
The way it's presented is, and they quote the head
of Norway's biggest grocery store chain. They actually have a
thousand locations.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah ha, goog Nublobin, that's the name of the grocery chain.
Ask for it by name.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So he says they can change up to a hundred
times a day, prices more often during holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
The idea is to match or beat the competition.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
With the touch of a button, we lower the prices
maybe ten cents, our competitors do the same.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It kind of gets to be a race to the bottom.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm a little confused by that because as I'm standing
in the aisle about to buy my gravy for Thanksgiving,
I don't know what the other grocery store's price is.
Or I'm not going to get in my car and
drive over there, am I.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's sort of second by second competition seems a little
weird unless somebody's on an app or something like that,
which is certainly possible. I've checked prices online while at
a store. It'd be incredibly cumbersome to do it when
you're shopping for groceries. I'd have to be for a
big item, sure, but well, my bananas. One disturbing aspect
(23:17):
of this. I mean, first of all, the surge pricing
idea you mentioned is absolutely disturbing because you know, from
as you say, from five to six thirty, they'll just
tweak everything up by half a.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Percent, not enough to really notice.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Why. I'll get you because they know you're in a
hurry to get dinner together. You're not comparison shopping or
anything like that.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, is everybody doing it?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Is it just Wendy's that's doing the thing where they
charge more during dinner time than they charge the rest
of the day.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And I've had that experience.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I don't know, because they don't eat fast food because
I'm better than Because we had a baconator that was
like ten dollars a couple of weeks ago, because they're
a better name for a burger than that than anywhere
and even Norway.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
But it was like six thirty, so it was ten dollars. Yeah,
if that catches on, whoom, I'll be darned.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah. And the other aspect of this, which it's funny,
I don't it's a long article, and who has time
to read the whole thing? But one aspect of this
that immediately leapt to my mind is all right, So
there I am in the aisle.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
What am I buying? In this case? Salsa? We just
needed salcy yesterday, so.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I'm getting restaurant style medium salsa. Mild is bland, it's
too sweet, man, the hot Why do I want.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
To suffer during my meals? I'm a medium guy.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
So anyway, there's my medium salsa, restaurant style, no preservatives.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
It is two ninety nine. Then by the time I
get to the register it's three forty nine. Oh, what's
to stop that?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
How would you not do that? Because you don't know?
Maybe I'm a slow shot. I'm one of those old
people shuffle around real slow. I'm at the grocery. I
got a lot of crap to buy thirty five minutes.
There's no way. Yeah, you don't you know what the
price was? And I grabbed it off the show. Huh,
that's a good one. Well, of course, Elizabeth had a
(25:14):
cashier get so mad at the person in front of
me last night at the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
She was steaming, yes, and then she complained about the
woman after she left in front of mess. It was
very entertaining. I should tell that story later. Yeah, I
want to hear more about it after a word from
our friends. Oh more on the grocery thing, including Elizabeth
Warren standing up for the consumer and in favor of
incredibly suffocating government regulations.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, she can explain to us how the native people
did it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh boy, Oh, it means so much to feel safe
at home and safe that you can leave your home
simply safe. Home security is all about that feeling of safety.
It's a system that works to prevent break ins from
ever happening.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
In the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Tribe, we had fifteen different words for grocery store. She'll say, Oh,
back to simply safe. So I'm happy when I pull
away from my house as I often mentioned, to see
the simply safe sign.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
One, I hope it alerts bad guys.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But two, it's just the fact that I got the
sensors and the cameras and all the different stuff and
the AI powered live monitoring agents detecting suspicious activity. This
is all for about a dollar a day and no
contracts with simply Safe. And again, the AI powered cameras
and live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around your property.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Someone's lurking.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Agents can talk to them in real time, turn on
the spotlights called the cops, proactively deterring the break in
before it happens. Visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong

com slash armstrong. There's no safe flight, simply say so.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The woman in front of me, mom and her daughter.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
She had her She carries it from her car shop
bag that she brings because she's a good environmentalist.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I don't do that, but yes, Katie.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
People who people who work in grocery stores hate those things,
by the way, because people don't clean them out and
they reek.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Okay, that explains a little bit of the anger then,
But so she's a good human that better than me
that she brings her own bag to brittershmithth So she
did all her shopping. She had all her stuff in
a bag and then she just sat the bag on
the conveyor belt. She didn't take the stuff out, she
just left it in the bag. And I thought to myself,
I thought, Hm, you can do that, or people do that.
I just I thought, as I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Standing by that.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm not going to make the busy, busy checker unpack
your bag to then you know, run it through the
register and then repack it. I thought, I didn't know
that was a thing, and maybe I'll if I ever
get one of those bags, I'll do it in the future. Anyway,
clearly you don't, because when then that bag got up
to the checker, the checker side really hard and said uh,
because the mom was like talking to her daughter and
(27:54):
they said, ma'am, uh uh, we appreciate it if you
take everything out of the bag. And then she started
taking everything out and slamming it on the conveyor belt.
The checker did like uh, grunting with everyone and sighing
with every single.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
One of them. Mike a big show how unheavy she
was at this.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And then and then the mom I could tell, was like,
who didn't hear her when when she got dressed down,
She didn't hear that part, but she heard the slamming.
And then she comes over and she's looking at her
because I think she's wondering about her chips and her
you know, sold up eggs whatever, her now flat bread
getting slammed on the thing. And the checker said, do
(28:33):
you have a question, like why are you standing over
your mica? God, I thought I was going to see
an actual fight or something. I had my phone out video,
but no, I don't have a question. Yeah, the question
is why are you slamming all my stuff down on
the conveyor belt? And then so she slams it all down,
rings it all through, everything goes through, They're done. Then
(28:54):
when I get up there, the checker doesn't pay any
attention to me. She's running mic through stuff and talking
to bag girl. What is wrong with that woman? Did
you see what she did? Did she even know what
she was doing? I've reached into that bag. I don't
know what's inside there. So she's bitching about the person
in front of me to the checker while she's bringing
me up. I was very entertaining. Wow, and it reminded
(29:16):
me of the thing I've been talking about for I
don't know how well I've applied it, but it's the
thing I've talked about. It started with TSA agents, but
just recognizing that you can you can be mad about
something or not be mad about something. The outcome is
gonna be the same, but you're gonna feel so much
better if you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Just let it go. Yeah, yep, roll your eyes and
think what a putts and move on with your deck.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That didn't make her life better getting all worked up
about it. She didn't change that person's behavior any No, sir,
nothing was accomplished other than you were angry and you
put angry vibes out into the world.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Some people have a lot better ability to do that
than others, though. It's kind of the way you're made.
Ah So, speaking of grocery stores, I think this is
worth mentioning. As socialist Zora Mamdani proposes government owned supermarkets
for New York City. Kansas City's experiment in subsidized store
stores are absolutely flopping. Casey Sunfresh, which opened in twenty eighteen,
(30:15):
was taken over by a nonprofit a couple of years ago,
is now on the brink of closure amid spiraling crime,
plummeting sales, and empty shelves in an absolute replay of
the Soviet Union. And it's you know, pretty surprised Kansas
City tried government run grocery stores. The well, the city
itself is pretty blue. But the store lost eight hundred
(30:38):
and eighty five thousand dollars last year. Now has only
about four thousand shoppers a week. Despite a recent three
quarter of a million dollar cash infusion from the city,
the shelves are almost bare.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
We expect us out of Berkeley or Austin or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure somebody made some sort of food
desert argument and it caught out with the city council
what have you, and they gave it a try.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It's just it's a miserable failure. Do you have a question,
why are you slamming all my stuff on the conveyor belt?
That's my question. That was entertaining for me. It was
like having a floor show while I waited in line. Yeah,
it sounds like you got it could have gone another way.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
If if the mom had decided to say one thing,
I think we could have gone full on. Somebody would
have swung on somebody. Yeah yeah, well, and the whole
one person not hearing what the other one said dynamic.
I've seen that many times, the other person deciding that
they're defying me, and I'm like, no, she was talking
(31:42):
at the same time you were talking. She didn't comprehend it.
You can see it in her face.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
But look if you're gonna fight on the conveyor belt.
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We got mailbag next the here. I hope you're a fine.
We have much news to tell you about throughout the
day to day.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I hope you can stay with us. Indeed, here's your
freedom woman. Quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
A series from a modern hero, Javier Milay of Argentina.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, him and his weird dog obsession.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But I like his economics and as nutty sideburns, but
his economics are wonderful.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
We're gonna do a series from him. I just was
reading one of his speeches. Here's a here.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
First, collective experiments are never the solution of the problems
that afflict as citizens of the world.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Rather, they are the root cause.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Collectivist experiments A men to that, over and over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
We have to prove that, Eh, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Mail bag featuring my favorite pie related email perhaps of
all time. You can drop us a note at mail
bag at Armstrong you getdy dot com. That's the email address.
The pie, the deserter pie, the ancient mathematical equation, the dessert. Indeed,
all right, the dessert one of your favorite pastimes, no
(33:03):
doubt downing Pie. This is from Matt Jay. Guys reporting
from Fort Lauderdale. Here for work, sadly dining solo like
a lonely CIA agent in a beachside rom com, eating
crab cakes with a view of the Atlantic, in a
creeping sense that the world is falling apart from the
burbank butt sniffer, why is this even a thing to
(33:26):
inflation to the real possibility of war breaking out while
I'm still figuring out how to expense parking. But then
a miracle, a slice of Key Lime pie, so glorious,
Sotangian smooth that for one brief moment I forgot the
world was on fire. I even forgot that I was
sitting alone. I became one with the pie. It didn't
fix the world, but it did make me forget that
(33:48):
it was broken.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's pretty good. Where is.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Uh morel of the story? Dessert is greater than doom.
Keep fighting the good fight, Matt Jay. Matt Jay is
in Fort Lauderdale, Okay. Most of my pie in South
Beach and Key West, where they know what they're doing
with Key Lime pie. There. It's one of my favorite
parts of the Southeastern United States, where I spend a
fair amount of Time, Key Lime Pie, Holy Cow, Moving
(34:14):
all uh Alnonymous Beautiful Walnut Creek, California says a little
supplement to your discussion on Gaza on how the Left
views Israeli's as white oppressors. The Left lights to create
a simple message in order to influence and mobilize more
easily its simple followers the best I can figure, and
the Israel versus Palestine conflict fits this paradigm the way
(34:36):
they describe it. The Israeli Jewish population is actually more
than fifty percent brown and black by the left's own standards.
More than half are descended from Arab Jews, brown expelled
from Arab countries like Iraq after nineteen forty eight, and
about one hundred and sixty thousand are descended from Ethiopian
black Jews rescued from Ethiopia since late nineteen nineties. But
of course this information might muddy its message. Show best
(34:58):
to ignore it and repeat the white colonial to pressure stick.
I actually have more detail on that story, Al, but
you're one hundred percent right about that. Yeah, it would
it would do, It would do Israeli Israel a lot
of good to somehow present to the world. The different
hue of colors of their population because I knew that
(35:18):
was true, But I don't think most people do. And
that would help, because you know, if you're if you're
built in such a way that white equals bad, presenting
yourself as a white country doesn't see you any good. Yeah,
I suppose they're, although they don't present themselves that way exactly. Well,
they just don't do the opposite, right, I'm saying you
should somehow actively do the opposite, and I don't know
(35:40):
how you would do it, Benatona ad maybe uh the
Brandy JT in Livermore Rights, Sidney Sweeney fake controversy. So
a young, beautiful, sexy Hollywood starlet making a buck by
using your popularity and her good looks to sell more
genes is racist, akin to Hitler's dream of a master race.
But the football dad talking to his sons about the
(36:02):
dangers of diluting their black gens via white wives is a.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Non issue.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Because it doesn't fit into the white supremacy progressive paradigm. Well, yeah,
it's hypocrisy, it's stupid, it's ridiculous, boy, and I's believed
by a hell of a lot of young people. Controversy
about hotties and gene commercials. Has been going on since
I was a child, so that's just a tone genre.
