Speaker 1 (00:03):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Shoe, Katty Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And he.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Arms the from the studio. Ce oh Si, you're a
little tired.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Had to fly back from New York last night. Of course,
I was in Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I paid three thousand dollars to have a men's room
stall problem.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
That I could kind of hear the game through a speaker.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Here are the roars coming around the corner. Yeah, we
are in studio, see the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound,
and today we toil under the title of the show Knicks.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Pricks nixt Potus Pics. What Nicks Pricks Nicks Photus picks. Okay,
I'm kind of proud of that one. Or if you
prefer Iran blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Blah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Ah YadA YadA YadA da war Yeah yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The parsident was at the next game and they showed
him during the national anthem. I raised his hand up
in a salute as the anthem was being sung quite
beautifully but overly elaborately by some Broadway star. H and Oh.
The reception was. It was not a warm one. Well
to New York though. I mean any Republican who's going
to get that, Oh, that's not contributing any great significance.
(01:36):
I think it could be about weather for the midterm.
Right now. I missed out because I fast forward through
the national anthem. Does that make me about American? This
is absolutely it does. Good God, if George Washington were here,
they slap you with the broad side of his sword. Really,
so they get the guy who played the scarecrow in
(01:58):
the Whiz on Broadway. Correct, Yes, I gotta watch it. Yeah, Well,
to be a good American, I watched the flags. I
watched the flags come out. As soon as the singing starts,
I flipped through it. But I tell you what, as
soon as the warbling starts, see, can you see, it's like, dude,
(02:20):
now it's about you. It's not about the anthem, it's
not about the country. I'm out. But I hung with it.
Sure enough. There was the potus. I really enjoyed the
star spotting during the game. It was something there'd be
a play and and you know it was it a
foul round and they put the camera on the guy
and says, look, there's Larry David sitting next to Rama
Manual and Robert Kraft who owns the Patriots, for instance,
(02:42):
And it was just so wild. There was so many
celebrities there. And then I always wonder who's the random
person like in between a bunch of celebrities, you know,
probably worth like five billion dollars or something like that,
way probably way richer than even the celebrities, But you
don't know who there. It's like, get that out of there.
I kned it's a celebrity in that seat and entertaining M.
(03:05):
I want to talk a little more about that later.
And then what's your Iran? Blah blah blah? What's the
latest on Iran? Oh? Well, we've got a clip of
Trump saying, yeah, I've asked everybody to calm down and
quit firing at each other because we're very close to
a deal two or three days away. He says. Yeah.
We had the reporting that Axios was doing yesterday of
Trump getting on the phone with n Yahu insane, you
(03:25):
got to stop. And porting reporting is that Israel was
planning like a major invasion of Lebanon and stopped it
because Trump said no. But today the reporting is Trump
went so far as to say, if you go forward
through with this, you're on your own from here on out,
which is heck of a threat. That is terrible, That
is terrible and dumb and short sighted. Yeah my opinion. Yeah, man,
(03:50):
what countries on earth would hold back if their capital
was under attack by a longtime enemy that vows to
destroy you? Right right? An Islamist bunch of cultist lunatics.
I've got some great analysis of Lebanon, those poor poor bastards.
Here's here's your factoid of the day. The Lebanese Army
(04:12):
is the third most powerful military force in Lebanon after
the Israelis and Hesblah. Wow, that's that's that's not a
good way to be ye. Trump said they could we
could open the straight in an hour if everybody comes together.
I'm sure that's probably true. The if everyone comes together
(04:34):
is the if if being a big word there, Yeah, yeah, show, show,
don't tell. And then we got some elections going on.
The biggest one that's getting attention there is in Maine
with the guy with the Nazi tattoo, who is going
to run away with it today? According to all pulling,
I found too much. I'm sorry, I've got so much today,
I'm actually excited to do the show. Normally I dread it. Ah,
(04:57):
I've got two great Graham Platiner factoids that we have
not discussed. Can't wait, Oh yeah, I have. One's good.
The other one is just it's just eight hundred pound gorilla.
It's unbelievable. So I was reading my favorite political newsletter
that let me know that one Platner is going to
run away with it today, but two, the deadline for
(05:22):
replacing him as the Democrats is a date in July.
I forget what date it is, I'll look at.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's a date in July.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
The Democrats would have up to then to put a
different person in his place. It's the day after that
date that the Republicans are going to drop all their
oppo research. So I thought it might come out tonight
or tomorrow, but no, they're gonna wait. They're gonna wait
until after he's definitely the nominee and it's too late
for the Democrats to switch it up to unleash the
(05:50):
And I can't imagine what you unleash having a Nazi
tattoo on your chest, a giant one, A giant Nazi
tattoo on your chest is such.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
A big deal.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Anybody he's weathering the storm on this if he was
a Republican, not a chance. No, No, it's just so
incredibly important we get that radical right winger Susan Collins
out of the Senate. Had to vote for anybody Hitler
himself would be excusable. Man, do times change. It used
to be like if they found out you would had
a girlfriend once during your marriage, no chance you even run.
(06:22):
You get out of the race immediately when that story comes.
And now we've moved way, way, way past that. But
I didn't think we'd ever get to the point where
you could have a Nazi tattoo the size of a
pipe played on your chest. Yeah, and weather the storm
while you were young and everything like that. And he was,
and he is a veteran of four combat tours and
(06:43):
all that sort of stuff. But still, and he had
admits to being confused in a dark place and that
sort of thing. And I have miles of sympathy for
that sort of thing. He still had the Nazi tattoo,
and he's a congenital liar. He still had the Nazi
tattoo that he in the mirror every single day. I'm sure,
up until what six months ago when it finally, you know,
(07:05):
hit the news and he had to start explaining it away.
So that's a little weird. I can see doing it.
I can't see getting it. How old is he? I
can't see getting into your forties and and still keeping it,
wearing it, looking at it everything every day and saying, yeah,
well I was young, and what's the uh George Bush line?
(07:25):
When I was young and irresponsible? I was young and irresponsible.
That's fine, but you would get rid of you're Nazi
tied to at some point. Yeah, yeah, well he's got
it covered up now. It's weird. It's broken the news,
but not before. Yeah he's forty one for the record,
all right, so welcome to let Jack decide the hole
waiting until the can't replace some date to drop the
(07:49):
bombs of APPO research and this guy, I mean, I
got my mouth set for could be anything, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I no kidding, could be any of that legit hardball politics?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Or is that too cute by half? Like financing the
weirdo a Democrat candidate to try to get them to
run again that because that I don't like that. In
the backfires, sometimes we end up with terrible leadership. Yeah,
I can't decide just legit hardball or too cute by
half if they were trying to destroy a decent person
(08:20):
to get him in that. I don't like when an
either party does that, and they both parties do do
that all the time. But this, I just this just
seems like within the normal range of politics, Jack has decided,
how do again? No, you're in your forties and you
still look in the mirror every day you're Nazi tattoo
(08:42):
and don't think you know what that was. That wasn't
the best idea I ever had that drunken night when
I was twenty two and I was pretty upset about
the combat and whatever, whatever his excuses for doing that. Yeah,
the whole Death's head for the concentration camp cars probably
a bad choice. I mean, the Luftwaffa they did good work.
I could have gone with that or the SS even
but my god, the concentration campguards. What was I thinking? No,
(09:06):
never never hit that that moment. Yeah, and then no
dating or do you want your kids to see it?
Or are going to be at the lake this summer?
And you think, ah, boy, every time I go to
the lake, it's just I worry about my Nazi tattoo.
None of that stuff bothered him until he started to
run for office. Could have turned it into a nice
like Moby Dick tattoo or something like that. It's got
(09:27):
kind of a whale like appearance, you know. Just thinking
out loud, we better start to show officially. Hey, Michael,
Michael Angelo is back. And Michael, I have a theory.
I think you take a couple of days off every
year just to let everybody know how indispensable you are,
Because you are. I appreciate that, but no, I just
went to see a nephew. Actually, and you're indispensable. So
(09:49):
you saw your nephew and proved you're indispensable. Hey, you're
gonna give my huge ego like Scott Pelly. We don't
want that, Michael. You could be replaced at the trap
of that hat. Keep it in mind. Uh, let's start,
so officially, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe getting on this.
It is Tuesday, June ninth, year, twenty twenty six. We
are Armstrong in getting and we approve of this program.
All right, let's begin officially. According to FCC rules and regulations,
(10:10):
the happy team is together. No one's getting dismissed. There
we go at mark head a.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
President Trump attending tonight's NBA Finals game. NBA Commissioner Adam
Silvers said that there would be extra security procedures, but
added quote, I think fans are very understanding of that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Oh sure.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
If there's one thing New York's sports fans are known for,
it's their patience and civilities.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Take your time up. I heard a couple of different
sportscasters say, even by big game standards, sportscaster have been
in the business for decades, blah blah blah, I've never
seen an atmosphere like this. Average ticket price was seventy
(10:53):
five hundred dollars. The get ins were whatever you said
the other day, like the worst seat in the place
was like almost four grand. Yeah, that's that's some ticket.
And then the parties they had, the outdoor parties they
had all over New York Giant, many thousands of people
at five different locations, which turned into riots afterwards in
(11:13):
some cases. But yeah, well that's what happens when you
have a team finally make a run in a metro
market of nineteen million people. I read one story about
a he's a working guy. He was not a rich executive.
He bought a ticket for five thousand dollars and it
went up to eighteen and he considered selling it. But
(11:34):
he says experiences count more than money. You got to
be rich to say that. Well he's not, though, and
I wanted to say he's a fool. But welcome back
to Jack decides. Is that a guy who just realizes, Hey,
life is short. You have the big age? That's a
such a where you are in your life? How old
are your kids? What are your financial situations? That I
did a lot over there. You know, don't know the
(11:57):
guy anything at all, but like, if you got kids
and any doubt whether or not you can support them
in the way you want to, then that's just a
selfish move in my opinion. But to each their own. Umm,
having just declared somebody a bad person, we'll get headlines
coming up next and then a whole bunch of other
stuff to get to stay here. The other side of that, though,
(12:25):
the conversation we were having before the commercials stuff versus experiences,
I definitely go with the experience. Like, if it's the
are you gonna, like, you know, get that new dining
room table, you wanted or have that lifetime memory of
going to that game. I'm for the memory by far.
I like a good table, so good, nice, well appointed table. Nice,
(12:47):
it's flat on top. Of course, with sports stuff, the
winner lose matters a lot. Is if you put in
a lot of effort and time to go to a
team and they lose, oftentimes it seems like why did
I do this? Yes? Correct, yes, yes, if they win,
it's a fantastic memory. All right, busy, busy news day today.
Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
with Heather Meyers, Heather.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Joe Jack. Good morning. Let's find out how the networks
are covering the news. And there's a lot of news today.
We'll start with this from CBS News. Trump says Iran
deal possible in two to three days. As Israel and hesbal,
I'll keep fighting.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We'll go ahead with your other headline to you, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I'll keep on this topic here for a moment. CNBC says,
Trump repeats claims that Iran deal is only days away
despite recent strikes, and the Hill looks at it like
this Iran war has no end in sight at one
hundred days. Despite Trump's vow.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The Trump saying it could be over the next couple
of days. Does that mean anything to anyone? And I
mean whether you're an Iranian soldier or a guy filling
up with gas thinking about the summer. I mean, how
does that mean anything to anyone? After all the backs
and forths on. It'll be over in two weeks, it'll
be over an hour, it'll be over today. It'll be
(14:01):
a bob. Whatever I have dealt in my life more
than one. Swiss people who always tell you what they're
gonna do, always tell you what's gonna happen. Got no interest,
tell me when it happens, Tarin, But you're wearing me out.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I'm guilty of that as a mom. You keep this up.
We're leaving for that ten times.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yes, Oh you gotta go, all right?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
From NBC News, US military helicopter goes down near straight
of Hormuz. Two crew members rescued. From The New York Times,
Democrats Secure, Democrats secures second LA Mayor spot and n
Spencer Pratt's run.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, the socialist got more votes than the guy who
wanted to do something about their drug addicts on the street.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
We'll have to talk about.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That more later, staying on the topic of California politics,
Newsmax GOP's Hilton Clinch's second spot in California governor's race.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, that's excellent news. Yeah,
it's going to be a tough sled. But what the
heck he's got a chance.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
CNBC's reporting this morning, fifty one percent of US adults
say the American dream is out of reach for most people.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Right now, that's such a stupid thing to think.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
We went through the statistics on that yesterday from the
New York Times. Maybe we'll bring that up again.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The Associated Press. Donald Trump booed by the crowd during
the anthem prior to Game three of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, we talked about that. A little bit eh to be.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Expected, Yes, New York NBC News adults should have no
more than one drink a day. A team of scientists says,
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What Joe's gonna say. Shut up, shut up.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Mind your own business, you team of scientists. All right?
From Fox News. Woman with advanced Alzheimer's regained speech and
memories after taking magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wow wait what wow?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, this is so interesting. It's that silo Cybon that
a lot of people are taking to do deal with
things like PTSD, and they're saying this one particular patient
again with advanced Alzheimer's, not early dementia. Advanced Alzheimer's, was
able to regain a little bit of speech and some memories.
So definitely more research needed there.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, that that story over to us. We need to
see that in full. I mean, that's fascinating. I wonder
if it lasts.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's hope. So CBS News reporting this morning that workers
say they like remote work, but research shows it hurts
their mental health. NBC news man fleeing police attacked by
alligator before continuing his getaway.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That's an alligator's helpful. A fan of law and order,
damn it. Clean up the streets and the ponds.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He ran from the cops, jumped into a swamp, was
attacked by the alligator, left the swamp, and kept trying
to run before he was finally apprehended and finally this
morning from the Babylon b LA vote updates, Pratt now
at negative one billion votes.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the How could this
happen and had to be stolen? Eighty four percent Democrat
votes in the last election in Los Angeles. That's how
it happens. It's not a mystery Armstrong and Getty. I
wonder if he is speaking of, you know, is it
worth the money for the ticket for big events to
(17:25):
have the life experience. I wonder if any of those
celebrities like met with publicists and stuff like that or
accountants and thought had conversations about it's going to cost
a million dollars for this seat. How much will this
raise my Q factor or get me parts in big
movies or whatever?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Because I'm thinking, I don't know. I don't know if
it's a good idea like an.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Investment, right, or if it was just like Shalomay just
is sew into the Knicks, which he seems to be
into the Knicks. He's on his feet like every play.
You know, they're just so into it. They're willing to
spend the money. I don't know, but it definitely raises
your Q factor to be in that crowd. Well, remember
we talked about the Wall Street crowd. How like your
lower tier of the upper tier is desperate to be
(18:07):
seen in those low low seats because that Wow, there's Jones.
I didn't know he was such a mover. Yeah, shaker, interesting,
Maybe I will call him back. You know, they're looking
for that sort of lake up, so yeah, I think
the answer is yeah, clearly some people do that, so
I looked it up. It's July twenty seventh there in Maine.
Is the way the rules work. So Platner's gonna win today.
(18:28):
The Democrats have until the twenty seventh to replace him
on the ballot. If things got super ugly, they as
a party there in Maine could say, you know, if
enough bad stuff comes out, and I don't know what
it have to be after the avalanche of bad stuff
he's at. But after the twenty seventh, though, they can't
replace him. So that's when the Susan Collins super pac
(18:49):
money Appo research will land.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
The day after that when they can't replace him anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Wow. To make sure she wins, I will set my
alarm to make sure I wake up early in that.
So you've got the drunk woman, abusing Nazi sometimes communist
Nazi tattoo, sporting, bad decision making, trustafarian, no real job,
elite private school as he claims to be a man
(19:16):
of the people guy. There's a little baggage there turns
out there's even more than that, which we'll get to
in a second or two. But first, this interview, I
think it was a Wall Street Journal's podcast or whatever,
interviewing the two political activists who recruited Platner to run
in the first place. There is one gal Leanne fan
(19:38):
who sits there fairly quietly and doesn't say much at
all the somewhat how do I describe this? The weirdly
effeminate vocal frye, high pitched, odd voice is that of
Daniel Morath, who looks like he's never even come in
(20:00):
in the same room as a piece of red meat,
rather weedy looking fellow and a progressive activist explaining how
in the world all this baggage got through their vetting process.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
At this point, you hadn't vetted Grand Planner, You hadn't
done a full scrub of who he is.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
And why did you We paid a Yeah, we paid
a nice firm a whole chunk of money and got
some stuff back. Some of what you've seen on the
news we got back other stuff we didn't.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Giant Nazi tattoo. Well, he had his shirt on. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
The reddit posts? Did that turn up in the vetting process?
Speaker 9 (20:57):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the yea, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
And what did you think about that?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 9 (21:14):
I said, none of this will or should stop him
from becoming us.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Centator, And what was your thinking?
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Very I think if what the voters wanted were people
who were grown in vats and had never done or said,
oh my god, do thing that they might regret their
entire lives. Oh you're Kevin Ry a different country. Part
of our thesis here is that people do not want
their candidates grown in vats. They want people who are
real human beings, and they want people who do not
(21:42):
look and sound like the background people who've been leading
this country off a cliff for the last century. Then
that was Graham.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Just days after this interduce, Yeah, more details about Platinir's
past emerge.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You're going to have to tell me what that guy said,
because it might be important or interesting. I couldn't listen
to it to shout. I got a start talking like that. Wow,
he's got the vocal fry of all vocal fries.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh that is hard to listen to.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Can you imagine coming on to a woman with a
voice like that. I don't know that he don't know
that he is, but coming on to someone or anymore
a man or a beast or anyone. That's the worst
voice ever. Oh my god, I can't even picture a
more annoying voice. Do you want the meal or the
(22:34):
individual sandwich? I want the sandwich. I don't want the
sandwiches that have led this country. On a clip, oh
my I was trying to listen to what he was saying,
and then I got so distracted by his affectation, which
it is. We have that funny clip from whatever that
(22:54):
TV show was on Netflix for the guys yelling at
the chick, the barista. You don't talk like that's the
way you actually talk. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful. Find the most
annoying clip at from that clip? Would you?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh my god, that was hard to listen to.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's kind of interesting the background search stuff in the
modern world. It's almost all online. I mean, I'm sure
they you know, they had perfected years ago, the going
through legal records and tax records and that sort of
stuff that has always existed, you know, and you scour
the country to try to see if a guy got
(23:33):
a dui in this county in nineteen, you know, ninety
eight or whatever. But the every Reddit post, every possible
hook up app when everybody's got a you know, a
fake name on there and everything like that. That that's
a whole new world of trying to vet people. And
I don't know how you didn't catch everything. It almost
be impossible. Yeah, old Pea Hustle, that's right, he was
(23:55):
on the Kick until a few days ago. He still
had his account open, but Pa Hustle what he called himself. Yeah,
I don't know how did they even how did they
catch him on this stuff? I'd be kind of curious
to that. How did somebody figure out his Reddit handle,
his Kick handle, his every different kind of made up
name he has on all these different profiles around the country.
And by the way, if you didn't hear this, we
(24:15):
talked about this later later in the show yesterday. This
is so amazing. So Kick is a people who walk
on the wild side, a hookup app app not like
Tinder from what I understand. I'm just like I've read
about this. Tinder is just like regular hookups for the
most part. But Kick is where you go if you know,
like you know, we need we need another dude for
(24:36):
our marriage or whatever, that sort of stuff, and lots
of other things. Uh and uh. Pa Hustle or soon
to be Senator Platner was on that site a lot.
And John Fetterman, another Democratic Senator, is hinting a lot
that Pa Hustle was on there to meet underage people,
(24:58):
which is a heck of a claim to make with
no prove. Well, the Kick has a reputation for that happening,
Sator Senator Fetterman said, if Graham Platner can prove that
all the people he was chatting with on Kick and
sending dick picks, those are the words of the Senator,
so they're unquote, so I feel like I can say
(25:20):
them part of our nation's rich history, part of the
congressional record. Yes, if Graham Platner can prove all the
people he was chatting with on Kick and sending picks
to were adults and not miners, I'll wear a suit
every day, okay, which is a heck of a thing
to say, is a fellow possible senator, Yeah, I would say, so,
(25:40):
all right, we've got to get to the quote unquote
new revelations right afterword from our friend's had in Cogny,
they're all about getting your name off of data broker
site speaking of online presence where they get your info
and they try to they just spam you all day long,
scam emails, that sort of thing you can hit, you know,
(26:01):
a delete scam over and over again. But you got
to get your name off those sites. That's what incognitoes.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's part of our nation's rich history.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's hilarious. You've got to cover it. So the two
revelations that we haven't talked about. Number one, he has
tried to portray himself as a man of the people,
a populist, a working man, oyster farmer. He's a trust
fund kid. He's got no discernible way to make a living.
His only client at the oyster thing is his mom.
(27:08):
And he had like a three thousand dollars a year job.
All of his money comes from disability. And if he
was disabled as a veteran, and it's legit, that's fine.
I can respect that. But who knows. But so he
went to this crazy expensive boarding school when he was
like a high schooler, and his dad also, you know,
paid for his new house. But he explained the reason
(27:31):
he went to the super expensive private boarding school was
because his local school had been unaccredited for a time.
And it's the easiest thing in the world. You look
back and it's like, no, they weren't. They've never not
been accredited. They've been around since the seventies whatever, They've
always been accredited. What the hell are you talking about?
(27:52):
What a terrible why and your alternative to your local
normal public school not being accredited? If that happened, wouldn't
be So I'll go to the most expensive private school
that exists. Right, that's a funny that's a funny plan.
B I'm a school choice guy, and I have railed
against the current state of America's government schools. So if
(28:13):
you think that's the best move for your kids, do it.
Do which you think is best for him, and I
support you. But it's the lie. It's the weird Brian Jennings,
Joe Biden esque weak lie. I was top of my
class to see there are records that are records of
this Joe. That's what's so weird. Lies it and really
easily checked. Yeah, so the guy is just kind of
(28:35):
a congenital liar. But here's the part, and this is like,
we went how many was it twenty one paragraphs in
or sixteen paragraphs in to the New York Times piece
before they got to the fact that the allegation that
he man handled that girlfriend of his, you know, in
a pretty serious fashion. He's very physically rough with her
on more than one occasion, but they buried it. Oh,
(28:57):
it's even after that. It's multipleographs after that that you
get to the fact that she said he kept an
ar fifteen line around his apartment on Capitol Hill and
he would sharpen an axe while watching television. He had
what she described as a warrior ethos and would fantasize
about killing people he deemed a threat. She said. He
told her that rape was about power. It stuck with
(29:19):
her through the years. He said this a lot, not
once or twice, a lot. If anybody ever broke in here,
I would rape them, saying that it would not be
in a sexual way, not in a gay way. He
was like, I would rape them to show them that
I'm dominant.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
That is a weird thing to say.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is not a normal I know a lot of
tough guy guys in my life. I've never known anybody
who said that. That's a weird thing to say. Well,
and you part of training to use firearms is to
rehearse and know that you're not going in the moment think,
oh my god, a gun. A gun is a dangerous thing.
(30:00):
Do I want to do something dangerous. No, you've got
to be ready mentally as well as physically, so I
get that. But yeah, I would rape him to show
him my dominance. Not a gay thing at all, but yeah,
I would rape him. How about to sitting around sharpening
and axe talking about what you'd do to people if
they broke into your house.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
That's just that's a certain sort of guy.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, dude, dude, is damn watching TV sharpen in the axe.
I'll tell you what, if somebody ever breaks in here,
I'm going to rape him and show him who's boss
sharpening here. So what you've got these two activist socialist duebs,
including mister Manly over here. Who find this guy? He's handsome,
(30:39):
he's rugged looking, he was a marine, he's a oyster farmer.
Sounds very mainish, and they recruit this guy, do a
crappy job of vetting him. He's all sorts of nuts,
and yet because of our current politics, there he is.
He's going to be the Democratic nominee. Yeah, and some
of the leading lights of the Democratic Party standing up
for him. At this late day Rocanna on how cynical
(31:02):
they are one of the Sunday talk shows, Just You know, well,
the important thing is we stop this maga movement. Blah
blah blah blah. Nobody's perfect, right, nobody's perfect. No, he
is definitely not perfect. How far would you go there?
Ro I mean like John Gasey? He lord what twenty
four or thirty two whatever it was young men to
(31:22):
be raped and murdered and buried him under his house?
Now would you hit us with a look? Nobody's perfect
with him? Where does that end? Exactly? Youthful indiscretion? Yeah,
what's the what's your limit of look? Nobody's perfect? Or
as the guy said, people know, oh, so would grow
it a lab But we gotta play that guy again. Yeah,
(31:43):
we don't have to do that again. Later in Dissect,
that was too good. We got mailbag on the wais
stay here, Timothy Challomay and Fat Joe is that what
his name is?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
The rapper?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But shared a private plane to get to New York
to go to Madison Square Garden to be in the
front row of the game last night. That's a nice
lifestyle if you can afford, said, that's something. Yeah, here's
your freedom loving quote of the day. Adam from Boyse
sent this one along. He just finished Tom Hollands's excellent
book Dominion about the importance of Christian principles in Western civilization,
(32:22):
not the religious ones so much as like giant assumptions
like all men are a created equal, that view is
not shared around the world anyway, And that is a
gross and hilariously oversimplified over simplification. But moving along to
the quote, Communist leaders may have been no less murderous
than fascist ones, but they because communism was the expression
of a concern for the oppressed masses, rarely seemed as
(32:43):
diabolical to people today. The measure of how Christian we
are as a society remain is that mass murder precipitated
by racism tends to be seen as vastly more abhorrent
than mass murder precipitated by an ambition to usher in
a classless paradise. And Adam wanns inn. So maybe that's
why communism continues to exist. People want to do good
and are blinded by what communism actually is, or as
(33:06):
the who is the great thinker? Sidney Hook was a
philosophery he said, I was guilty of judging socialism by
its aims and capitalism by its functions, including the most
unfortunate of you know, the things that happened in capitalism,
that's part of it. Interesting thought mail bag? Who drop
us a note? Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com,
(33:28):
for instance, Karen from Scenic Pioneer, California. Right, you guys
were talking about your T shirts ideas a couple of
weeks ago. Your new T shirt could say socialism sucks
in it never works. Two sayings. One shirt that's perfect.
I would wear that six.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Days a week. Yeah, that's really good.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Socialism sucks and it never works. Hanson, Let's get busy. Well,
let's see how about this from Katie and Carson City, Nevada.
Let's see heard Jack's quick yesterday about women only dating
men with global entry clearance. My immediate thought was that
those women are looking for a baked in background check
(34:09):
kind of clever, no conventions or even investigations for something serious. Interesting.
I didn't know anything about that. Yeah, let's see Anna Luisa,
frequent correspondent rights on the topic of the swift Kelsey
wedding one of the more important topics. Who are dressing
this week.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
At Madison Square Garden?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Hmm, exactly, Taylor and Travis getting married in MSG. Nope,
don't buy it. This sounds like classic misdirection to me.
While fake guests arrived at MSG, the couple will be
hundreds of miles away, if not a thousand, maybe Monacito, Napa,
Beachy Place, maybe the Caribbean. I'm also suspicious of the day.
July third is a misdirection. I guess it'd be July second,
or fourth, or fifth, Not that I care about any
(34:52):
of this now. Yeah, I hope so that that would be. Yeah,
that's hard to like the idea making a show of it. Oh,
it's just it's despicable. We're going to get married on
some island most people have never heard of, because you
have to be them to even know what exists. Maybe
they're going to get married quote unquote and a very small,
intimate ceremony with friends and family and then do the
(35:13):
super bonanza for their fans, breaking a zillion dollars and wow, yeah,
I know, I know. Let's see this from Jim on
the topic of the obnoxious and insufferable anterior eyed Scott Pelly.
Pelly's an a hole. He thinks he's indispensable to sixty Minutes,
a show that used to feature Dan rather Morley Safer,
Mike Wallace, and Andy Rooney. But somehow in Pelly's mind,
(35:35):
the show can't survive without him. What a narcissistic whanker.
That's a good point, and it's heyday. All those people
are gone and it kept on, so you'll be okay,
or it'll be okay without you. And then the invaluable
JT and Livermore says, I'm officially off the Trump bandwagon
when it comes to his handling of the Iran War.
It's a certain saneness to his handling of the Russia
(35:56):
Ukraine War, and his handling of the Iran War comes
down to the same Trump flaw. In both cases. Trump
thinks everybody is simply positioning for a better deal, when
in reality sometimes people actually don't want a quote unquote deal.
They need to win. Yea, and he goes into some detail,
but that's the gist. Or you are a religious zalet
like the Uranians, or some sort of crazy megalomania act
(36:19):
like Putin, and those are different things than a regular
business deal.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
More on the way, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Shoe, Katty Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
And he.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Arms the from the studio. Ce oh Si, you're a
little tired.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Had to fly back from New York last night. Of course,
I was in Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I paid three thousand dollars to have a men's room
stall problem.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
That I could kind of hear the game through a speaker.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Here are the roars coming around the corner. Yeah, we
are in studio, see the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound,
and today we toil under the title of the show Knicks.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Pricks nixt Potus Pics. What Nicks Pricks Nicks Photus picks. Okay,
I'm kind of proud of that one. Or if you
prefer Iran blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Blah, I like that.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Ah YadA YadA YadA da war Yeah yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
The parsident was at the next game and they showed
him during the national anthem. I raised his hand up
in a salute as the anthem was being sung quite
beautifully but overly elaborately by some Broadway star. H and Oh.
The reception was. It was not a warm one. Well
to New York though. I mean any Republican who's going
to get that, Oh, that's not contributing any great significance.
(01:36):
I think it could be about weather for the midterm.
Right now. I missed out because I fast forward through
the national anthem. Does that make me about American? This
is absolutely it does. Good God, if George Washington were here,
they slap you with the broad side of his sword. Really,
so they get the guy who played the scarecrow in
(01:58):
the Whiz on Broadway. Correct, Yes, I gotta watch it. Yeah, Well,
to be a good American, I watched the flags. I
watched the flags come out. As soon as the singing starts,
I flipped through it. But I tell you what, as
soon as the warbling starts, see, can you see, it's like, dude,
(02:20):
now it's about you. It's not about the anthem, it's
not about the country. I'm out. But I hung with it.
Sure enough. There was the potus. I really enjoyed the
star spotting during the game. It was something there'd be
a play and and you know it was it a
foul round and they put the camera on the guy
and says, look, there's Larry David sitting next to Rama
Manual and Robert Kraft who owns the Patriots, for instance,
(02:42):
And it was just so wild. There was so many
celebrities there. And then I always wonder who's the random
person like in between a bunch of celebrities, you know,
probably worth like five billion dollars or something like that,
way probably way richer than even the celebrities, But you
don't know who there. It's like, get that out of there.
I kned it's a celebrity in that seat and entertaining M.
(03:05):
I want to talk a little more about that later.
And then what's your Iran? Blah blah blah? What's the
latest on Iran? Oh? Well, we've got a clip of
Trump saying, yeah, I've asked everybody to calm down and
quit firing at each other because we're very close to
a deal two or three days away. He says. Yeah.
We had the reporting that Axios was doing yesterday of
Trump getting on the phone with n Yahu insane, you
(03:25):
got to stop. And porting reporting is that Israel was
planning like a major invasion of Lebanon and stopped it
because Trump said no. But today the reporting is Trump
went so far as to say, if you go forward
through with this, you're on your own from here on out,
which is heck of a threat. That is terrible, That
is terrible and dumb and short sighted. Yeah my opinion. Yeah, man,
(03:50):
what countries on earth would hold back if their capital
was under attack by a longtime enemy that vows to
destroy you? Right right? An Islamist bunch of cultist lunatics.
I've got some great analysis of Lebanon, those poor poor bastards.
Here's here's your factoid of the day. The Lebanese Army
(04:12):
is the third most powerful military force in Lebanon after
the Israelis and Hesblah. Wow, that's that's that's not a
good way to be ye. Trump said they could we
could open the straight in an hour if everybody comes together.
I'm sure that's probably true. The if everyone comes together
(04:34):
is the if if being a big word there, Yeah, yeah, show, show,
don't tell. And then we got some elections going on.
The biggest one that's getting attention there is in Maine
with the guy with the Nazi tattoo, who is going
to run away with it today? According to all pulling,
I found too much. I'm sorry, I've got so much today,
I'm actually excited to do the show. Normally I dread it. Ah,
(04:57):
I've got two great Graham Platiner factoids that we have
not discussed. Can't wait, Oh yeah, I have. One's good.
The other one is just it's just eight hundred pound gorilla.
It's unbelievable. So I was reading my favorite political newsletter
that let me know that one Platner is going to
run away with it today, but two, the deadline for
(05:22):
replacing him as the Democrats is a date in July.
I forget what date it is, I'll look at.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's a date in July.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
The Democrats would have up to then to put a
different person in his place. It's the day after that
date that the Republicans are going to drop all their
oppo research. So I thought it might come out tonight
or tomorrow, but no, they're gonna wait. They're gonna wait
until after he's definitely the nominee and it's too late
for the Democrats to switch it up to unleash the
(05:50):
And I can't imagine what you unleash having a Nazi
tattoo on your chest, a giant one, A giant Nazi
tattoo on your chest is such.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
A big deal.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Anybody he's weathering the storm on this if he was
a Republican, not a chance. No, No, it's just so
incredibly important we get that radical right winger Susan Collins
out of the Senate. Had to vote for anybody Hitler
himself would be excusable. Man, do times change. It used
to be like if they found out you would had
a girlfriend once during your marriage, no chance you even run.
(06:22):
You get out of the race immediately when that story comes.
And now we've moved way, way, way past that. But
I didn't think we'd ever get to the point where
you could have a Nazi tattoo the size of a
pipe played on your chest. Yeah, and weather the storm
while you were young and everything like that. And he was,
and he is a veteran of four combat tours and
(06:43):
all that sort of stuff. But still, and he had
admits to being confused in a dark place and that
sort of thing. And I have miles of sympathy for
that sort of thing. He still had the Nazi tattoo,
and he's a congenital liar. He still had the Nazi
tattoo that he in the mirror every single day. I'm sure,
up until what six months ago when it finally, you know,
(07:05):
hit the news and he had to start explaining it away.
So that's a little weird. I can see doing it.
I can't see getting it. How old is he? I
can't see getting into your forties and and still keeping it,
wearing it, looking at it everything every day and saying, yeah,
well I was young, and what's the uh George Bush line?
(07:25):
When I was young and irresponsible? I was young and irresponsible.
That's fine, but you would get rid of you're Nazi
tied to at some point. Yeah, yeah, well he's got
it covered up now. It's weird. It's broken the news,
but not before. Yeah he's forty one for the record,
all right, so welcome to let Jack decide the hole
waiting until the can't replace some date to drop the
(07:49):
bombs of APPO research and this guy, I mean, I
got my mouth set for could be anything, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I no kidding, could be any of that legit hardball politics?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Or is that too cute by half? Like financing the
weirdo a Democrat candidate to try to get them to
run again that because that I don't like that. In
the backfires, sometimes we end up with terrible leadership. Yeah,
I can't decide just legit hardball or too cute by
half if they were trying to destroy a decent person
(08:20):
to get him in that. I don't like when an
either party does that, and they both parties do do
that all the time. But this, I just this just
seems like within the normal range of politics, Jack has decided,
how do again? No, you're in your forties and you
still look in the mirror every day you're Nazi tattoo
(08:42):
and don't think you know what that was. That wasn't
the best idea I ever had that drunken night when
I was twenty two and I was pretty upset about
the combat and whatever, whatever his excuses for doing that. Yeah,
the whole Death's head for the concentration camp cars probably
a bad choice. I mean, the Luftwaffa they did good work.
I could have gone with that or the SS even
but my god, the concentration campguards. What was I thinking? No,
(09:06):
never never hit that that moment. Yeah, and then no
dating or do you want your kids to see it?
Or are going to be at the lake this summer?
And you think, ah, boy, every time I go to
the lake, it's just I worry about my Nazi tattoo.
None of that stuff bothered him until he started to
run for office. Could have turned it into a nice
like Moby Dick tattoo or something like that. It's got
(09:27):
kind of a whale like appearance, you know. Just thinking
out loud, we better start to show officially. Hey, Michael,
Michael Angelo is back. And Michael, I have a theory.
I think you take a couple of days off every
year just to let everybody know how indispensable you are,
Because you are. I appreciate that, but no, I just
went to see a nephew. Actually, and you're indispensable. So
(09:49):
you saw your nephew and proved you're indispensable. Hey, you're
gonna give my huge ego like Scott Pelly. We don't
want that, Michael. You could be replaced at the trap
of that hat. Keep it in mind. Uh, let's start,
so officially, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe getting on this.
It is Tuesday, June ninth, year, twenty twenty six. We
are Armstrong in getting and we approve of this program.
All right, let's begin officially. According to FCC rules and regulations,
(10:10):
the happy team is together. No one's getting dismissed. There
we go at mark head a.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
President Trump attending tonight's NBA Finals game. NBA Commissioner Adam
Silvers said that there would be extra security procedures, but
added quote, I think fans are very understanding of that.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Oh sure.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
If there's one thing New York's sports fans are known for,
it's their patience and civilities.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Take your time up. I heard a couple of different
sportscasters say, even by big game standards, sportscaster have been
in the business for decades, blah blah blah, I've never
seen an atmosphere like this. Average ticket price was seventy
(10:53):
five hundred dollars. The get ins were whatever you said
the other day, like the worst seat in the place
was like almost four grand. Yeah, that's that's some ticket.
And then the parties they had, the outdoor parties they
had all over New York Giant, many thousands of people
at five different locations, which turned into riots afterwards in
(11:13):
some cases. But yeah, well that's what happens when you
have a team finally make a run in a metro
market of nineteen million people. I read one story about
a he's a working guy. He was not a rich executive.
He bought a ticket for five thousand dollars and it
went up to eighteen and he considered selling it. But
(11:34):
he says experiences count more than money. You got to
be rich to say that. Well he's not, though, and
I wanted to say he's a fool. But welcome back
to Jack decides. Is that a guy who just realizes, Hey,
life is short. You have the big age? That's a
such a where you are in your life? How old
are your kids? What are your financial situations? That I
did a lot over there. You know, don't know the
(11:57):
guy anything at all, but like, if you got kids
and any doubt whether or not you can support them
in the way you want to, then that's just a
selfish move in my opinion. But to each their own. Umm,
having just declared somebody a bad person, we'll get headlines
coming up next and then a whole bunch of other
stuff to get to stay here. The other side of that, though,
(12:25):
the conversation we were having before the commercials stuff versus experiences,
I definitely go with the experience. Like, if it's the
are you gonna, like, you know, get that new dining
room table, you wanted or have that lifetime memory of
going to that game. I'm for the memory by far.
I like a good table, so good, nice, well appointed table. Nice,
(12:47):
it's flat on top. Of course, with sports stuff, the
winner lose matters a lot. Is if you put in
a lot of effort and time to go to a
team and they lose, oftentimes it seems like why did
I do this? Yes? Correct, yes, yes, if they win,
it's a fantastic memory. All right, busy, busy news day today.
Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
with Heather Meyers, Heather.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Joe Jack. Good morning. Let's find out how the networks
are covering the news. And there's a lot of news today.
We'll start with this from CBS News. Trump says Iran
deal possible in two to three days. As Israel and hesbal,
I'll keep fighting.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
We'll go ahead with your other headline to you, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I'll keep on this topic here for a moment. CNBC says,
Trump repeats claims that Iran deal is only days away
despite recent strikes, and the Hill looks at it like
this Iran war has no end in sight at one
hundred days. Despite Trump's vow.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
The Trump saying it could be over the next couple
of days. Does that mean anything to anyone? And I
mean whether you're an Iranian soldier or a guy filling
up with gas thinking about the summer. I mean, how
does that mean anything to anyone? After all the backs
and forths on. It'll be over in two weeks, it'll
be over an hour, it'll be over today. It'll be
(14:01):
a bob. Whatever I have dealt in my life more
than one. Swiss people who always tell you what they're
gonna do, always tell you what's gonna happen. Got no interest,
tell me when it happens, Tarin, But you're wearing me out.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I'm guilty of that as a mom. You keep this up.
We're leaving for that ten times.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yes, Oh you gotta go, all right?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
From NBC News, US military helicopter goes down near straight
of Hormuz. Two crew members rescued. From The New York Times,
Democrats Secure, Democrats secures second LA Mayor spot and n
Spencer Pratt's run.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, the socialist got more votes than the guy who
wanted to do something about their drug addicts on the street.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
We'll have to talk about.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That more later, staying on the topic of California politics,
Newsmax GOP's Hilton Clinch's second spot in California governor's race.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, that's excellent news. Yeah,
it's going to be a tough sled. But what the
heck he's got a chance.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
CNBC's reporting this morning, fifty one percent of US adults
say the American dream is out of reach for most people.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Right now, that's such a stupid thing to think.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
We went through the statistics on that yesterday from the
New York Times. Maybe we'll bring that up again.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
The Associated Press. Donald Trump booed by the crowd during
the anthem prior to Game three of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, we talked about that. A little bit eh to be.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Expected, Yes, New York NBC News adults should have no
more than one drink a day. A team of scientists says,
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What Joe's gonna say. Shut up, shut up.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Mind your own business, you team of scientists. All right?
From Fox News. Woman with advanced Alzheimer's regained speech and
memories after taking magic mushrooms.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wow wait what wow?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, this is so interesting. It's that silo Cybon that
a lot of people are taking to do deal with
things like PTSD, and they're saying this one particular patient
again with advanced Alzheimer's, not early dementia. Advanced Alzheimer's, was
able to regain a little bit of speech and some memories.
So definitely more research needed there.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, that that story over to us. We need to
see that in full. I mean, that's fascinating. I wonder
if it lasts.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
It's hope. So CBS News reporting this morning that workers
say they like remote work, but research shows it hurts
their mental health. NBC news man fleeing police attacked by
alligator before continuing his getaway.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That's an alligator's helpful. A fan of law and order,
damn it. Clean up the streets and the ponds.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
He ran from the cops, jumped into a swamp, was
attacked by the alligator, left the swamp, and kept trying
to run before he was finally apprehended and finally this
morning from the Babylon b LA vote updates, Pratt now
at negative one billion votes.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the How could this
happen and had to be stolen? Eighty four percent Democrat
votes in the last election in Los Angeles. That's how
it happens. It's not a mystery Armstrong and Getty. I
wonder if he is speaking of, you know, is it
worth the money for the ticket for big events to
(17:25):
have the life experience. I wonder if any of those
celebrities like met with publicists and stuff like that or
accountants and thought had conversations about it's going to cost
a million dollars for this seat. How much will this
raise my Q factor or get me parts in big
movies or whatever?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Because I'm thinking, I don't know. I don't know if
it's a good idea like an.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Investment, right, or if it was just like Shalomay just
is sew into the Knicks, which he seems to be
into the Knicks. He's on his feet like every play.
You know, they're just so into it. They're willing to
spend the money. I don't know, but it definitely raises
your Q factor to be in that crowd. Well, remember
we talked about the Wall Street crowd. How like your
lower tier of the upper tier is desperate to be
(18:07):
seen in those low low seats because that Wow, there's Jones.
I didn't know he was such a mover. Yeah, shaker, interesting,
Maybe I will call him back. You know, they're looking
for that sort of lake up, so yeah, I think
the answer is yeah, clearly some people do that, so
I looked it up. It's July twenty seventh there in Maine.
Is the way the rules work. So Platner's gonna win today.
(18:28):
The Democrats have until the twenty seventh to replace him
on the ballot. If things got super ugly, they as
a party there in Maine could say, you know, if
enough bad stuff comes out, and I don't know what
it have to be after the avalanche of bad stuff
he's at. But after the twenty seventh, though, they can't
replace him. So that's when the Susan Collins super pac
(18:49):
money Appo research will land.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
The day after that when they can't replace him anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Wow. To make sure she wins, I will set my
alarm to make sure I wake up early in that.
So you've got the drunk woman, abusing Nazi sometimes communist
Nazi tattoo, sporting, bad decision making, trustafarian, no real job,
elite private school as he claims to be a man
(19:16):
of the people guy. There's a little baggage there turns
out there's even more than that, which we'll get to
in a second or two. But first, this interview, I
think it was a Wall Street Journal's podcast or whatever,
interviewing the two political activists who recruited Platner to run
in the first place. There is one gal Leanne fan
(19:38):
who sits there fairly quietly and doesn't say much at
all the somewhat how do I describe this? The weirdly
effeminate vocal frye, high pitched, odd voice is that of
Daniel Morath, who looks like he's never even come in
(20:00):
in the same room as a piece of red meat,
rather weedy looking fellow and a progressive activist explaining how
in the world all this baggage got through their vetting process.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
At this point, you hadn't vetted Grand Planner, You hadn't
done a full scrub of who he is.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
How did you go about vetting him?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
And why did you We paid a Yeah, we paid
a nice firm a whole chunk of money and got
some stuff back. Some of what you've seen on the
news we got back other stuff we didn't.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Giant Nazi tattoo. Well, he had his shirt on. But wait,
there's more.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
The reddit posts? Did that turn up in the vetting process?
Speaker 9 (20:57):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the yea, but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
And what did you think about that?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 9 (21:14):
I said, none of this will or should stop him
from becoming us.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Centator, And what was your thinking?
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Very I think if what the voters wanted were people
who were grown in vats and had never done or said,
oh my god, do thing that they might regret their
entire lives. Oh you're Kevin Ry a different country. Part
of our thesis here is that people do not want
their candidates grown in vats. They want people who are
real human beings, and they want people who do not
(21:42):
look and sound like the background people who've been leading
this country off a cliff for the last century. Then
that was Graham.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Just days after this interduce, Yeah, more details about Platinir's
past emerge.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You're going to have to tell me what that guy said,
because it might be important or interesting. I couldn't listen
to it to shout. I got a start talking like that. Wow,
he's got the vocal fry of all vocal fries.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh that is hard to listen to.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Can you imagine coming on to a woman with a
voice like that. I don't know that he don't know
that he is, but coming on to someone or anymore
a man or a beast or anyone. That's the worst
voice ever. Oh my god, I can't even picture a
more annoying voice. Do you want the meal or the
(22:34):
individual sandwich? I want the sandwich. I don't want the
sandwiches that have led this country. On a clip, oh
my I was trying to listen to what he was saying,
and then I got so distracted by his affectation, which
it is. We have that funny clip from whatever that
(22:54):
TV show was on Netflix for the guys yelling at
the chick, the barista. You don't talk like that's the
way you actually talk. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful. Find the most
annoying clip at from that clip? Would you?
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Oh my god, that was hard to listen to.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's kind of interesting the background search stuff in the
modern world. It's almost all online. I mean, I'm sure
they you know, they had perfected years ago, the going
through legal records and tax records and that sort of
stuff that has always existed, you know, and you scour
the country to try to see if a guy got
(23:33):
a dui in this county in nineteen, you know, ninety
eight or whatever. But the every Reddit post, every possible
hook up app when everybody's got a you know, a
fake name on there and everything like that. That that's
a whole new world of trying to vet people. And
I don't know how you didn't catch everything. It almost
be impossible. Yeah, old Pea Hustle, that's right, he was
(23:55):
on the Kick until a few days ago. He still
had his account open, but Pa Hustle what he called himself. Yeah,
I don't know how did they even how did they
catch him on this stuff? I'd be kind of curious
to that. How did somebody figure out his Reddit handle,
his Kick handle, his every different kind of made up
name he has on all these different profiles around the country.
And by the way, if you didn't hear this, we
(24:15):
talked about this later later in the show yesterday. This
is so amazing. So Kick is a people who walk
on the wild side, a hookup app app not like
Tinder from what I understand. I'm just like I've read
about this. Tinder is just like regular hookups for the
most part. But Kick is where you go if you know,
like you know, we need we need another dude for
(24:36):
our marriage or whatever, that sort of stuff, and lots
of other things. Uh and uh. Pa Hustle or soon
to be Senator Platner was on that site a lot.
And John Fetterman, another Democratic Senator, is hinting a lot
that Pa Hustle was on there to meet underage people,
(24:58):
which is a heck of a claim to make with
no prove. Well, the Kick has a reputation for that happening,
Sator Senator Fetterman said, if Graham Platner can prove that
all the people he was chatting with on Kick and
sending dick picks, those are the words of the Senator,
so they're unquote, so I feel like I can say
(25:20):
them part of our nation's rich history, part of the
congressional record. Yes, if Graham Platner can prove all the
people he was chatting with on Kick and sending picks
to were adults and not miners, I'll wear a suit
every day, okay, which is a heck of a thing
to say, is a fellow possible senator, Yeah, I would say, so,
(25:40):
all right, we've got to get to the quote unquote
new revelations right afterword from our friend's had in Cogny,
they're all about getting your name off of data broker
site speaking of online presence where they get your info
and they try to they just spam you all day long,
scam emails, that sort of thing you can hit, you know,
(26:01):
a delete scam over and over again. But you got
to get your name off those sites. That's what incognitoes.
And they got everything your home address, your email, your age,
the names of all your family members. All of it
is searchable, all of it is for sale, and scammers
don't need to be hackers to get it. You just
need to Google. Take five minutes in Google. So you
need to get this stuff off of the data brokers,
(26:23):
and in Cogniti does that. They contact hundreds of data
brokers legally force them to remove your information right now,
get sixty percent off with an exclusive deal at in
cognity dot com slash armstrong. Go to i ncog ni
dot com slash armstrong and take back your privacy. That's
in Cogni dot com slash armstrong for sixty percent off
one more time in Cogniti dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's part of our nation's rich history.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's hilarious. You've got to cover it. So the two
revelations that we haven't talked about. Number one, he has
tried to portray himself as a man of the people,
a populist, a working man, oyster farmer. He's a trust
fund kid. He's got no discernible way to make a living.
His only client at the oyster thing is his mom.
(27:08):
And he had like a three thousand dollars a year job.
All of his money comes from disability. And if he
was disabled as a veteran, and it's legit, that's fine.
I can respect that. But who knows. But so he
went to this crazy expensive boarding school when he was
like a high schooler, and his dad also, you know,
paid for his new house. But he explained the reason
(27:31):
he went to the super expensive private boarding school was
because his local school had been unaccredited for a time.
And it's the easiest thing in the world. You look
back and it's like, no, they weren't. They've never not
been accredited. They've been around since the seventies whatever, They've
always been accredited. What the hell are you talking about?
(27:52):
What a terrible why and your alternative to your local
normal public school not being accredited? If that happened, wouldn't
be So I'll go to the most expensive private school
that exists. Right, that's a funny that's a funny plan.
B I'm a school choice guy, and I have railed
against the current state of America's government schools. So if
(28:13):
you think that's the best move for your kids, do it.
Do which you think is best for him, and I
support you. But it's the lie. It's the weird Brian Jennings,
Joe Biden esque weak lie. I was top of my
class to see there are records that are records of
this Joe. That's what's so weird. Lies it and really
easily checked. Yeah, so the guy is just kind of
(28:35):
a congenital liar. But here's the part, and this is like,
we went how many was it twenty one paragraphs in
or sixteen paragraphs in to the New York Times piece
before they got to the fact that the allegation that
he man handled that girlfriend of his, you know, in
a pretty serious fashion. He's very physically rough with her
on more than one occasion, but they buried it. Oh,
(28:57):
it's even after that. It's multipleographs after that that you
get to the fact that she said he kept an
ar fifteen line around his apartment on Capitol Hill and
he would sharpen an axe while watching television. He had
what she described as a warrior ethos and would fantasize
about killing people he deemed a threat. She said. He
told her that rape was about power. It stuck with
(29:19):
her through the years. He said this a lot, not
once or twice, a lot. If anybody ever broke in here,
I would rape them, saying that it would not be
in a sexual way, not in a gay way. He
was like, I would rape them to show them that
I'm dominant.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
That is a weird thing to say.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That is not a normal I know a lot of
tough guy guys in my life. I've never known anybody
who said that. That's a weird thing to say. Well,
and you part of training to use firearms is to
rehearse and know that you're not going in the moment think,
oh my god, a gun. A gun is a dangerous thing.
(30:00):
Do I want to do something dangerous. No, you've got
to be ready mentally as well as physically, so I
get that. But yeah, I would rape him to show
him my dominance. Not a gay thing at all, but yeah,
I would rape him. How about to sitting around sharpening
and axe talking about what you'd do to people if
they broke into your house.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
That's just that's a certain sort of guy.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, dude, dude, is damn watching TV sharpen in the axe.
I'll tell you what, if somebody ever breaks in here,
I'm going to rape him and show him who's boss
sharpening here. So what you've got these two activist socialist duebs,
including mister Manly over here. Who find this guy? He's handsome,
(30:39):
he's rugged looking, he was a marine, he's a oyster farmer.
Sounds very mainish, and they recruit this guy, do a
crappy job of vetting him. He's all sorts of nuts,
and yet because of our current politics, there he is.
He's going to be the Democratic nominee. Yeah, and some
of the leading lights of the Democratic Party standing up
for him. At this late day Rocanna on how cynical
(31:02):
they are one of the Sunday talk shows, Just You know, well,
the important thing is we stop this maga movement. Blah
blah blah blah. Nobody's perfect, right, nobody's perfect. No, he
is definitely not perfect. How far would you go there?
Ro I mean like John Gasey? He lord what twenty
four or thirty two whatever it was young men to
(31:22):
be raped and murdered and buried him under his house?
Now would you hit us with a look? Nobody's perfect
with him? Where does that end? Exactly? Youthful indiscretion? Yeah,
what's the what's your limit of look? Nobody's perfect? Or
as the guy said, people know, oh, so would grow
it a lab But we gotta play that guy again. Yeah,
(31:43):
we don't have to do that again. Later in Dissect,
that was too good. We got mailbag on the wais
stay here, Timothy Challomay and Fat Joe is that what
his name is?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
The rapper?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But shared a private plane to get to New York
to go to Madison Square Garden to be in the
front row of the game last night. That's a nice
lifestyle if you can afford, said, that's something. Yeah, here's
your freedom loving quote of the day. Adam from Boyse
sent this one along. He just finished Tom Hollands's excellent
book Dominion about the importance of Christian principles in Western civilization,
(32:22):
not the religious ones so much as like giant assumptions
like all men are a created equal, that view is
not shared around the world anyway, And that is a
gross and hilariously oversimplified over simplification. But moving along to
the quote, Communist leaders may have been no less murderous
than fascist ones, but they because communism was the expression
of a concern for the oppressed masses, rarely seemed as
(32:43):
diabolical to people today. The measure of how Christian we
are as a society remain is that mass murder precipitated
by racism tends to be seen as vastly more abhorrent
than mass murder precipitated by an ambition to usher in
a classless paradise. And Adam wanns inn. So maybe that's
why communism continues to exist. People want to do good
and are blinded by what communism actually is, or as
(33:06):
the who is the great thinker? Sidney Hook was a
philosophery he said, I was guilty of judging socialism by
its aims and capitalism by its functions, including the most
unfortunate of you know, the things that happened in capitalism,
that's part of it. Interesting thought mail bag? Who drop
us a note? Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com,
(33:28):
for instance, Karen from Scenic Pioneer, California. Right, you guys
were talking about your T shirts ideas a couple of
weeks ago. Your new T shirt could say socialism sucks
in it never works. Two sayings. One shirt that's perfect.
I would wear that six.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Days a week. Yeah, that's really good.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Socialism sucks and it never works. Hanson, Let's get busy. Well,
let's see how about this from Katie and Carson City, Nevada.
Let's see heard Jack's quick yesterday about women only dating
men with global entry clearance. My immediate thought was that
those women are looking for a baked in background check
(34:09):
kind of clever, no conventions or even investigations for something serious. Interesting.
I didn't know anything about that. Yeah, let's see Anna Luisa,
frequent correspondent rights on the topic of the swift Kelsey
wedding one of the more important topics. Who are dressing
this week.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
At Madison Square Garden?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Hmm, exactly, Taylor and Travis getting married in MSG. Nope,
don't buy it. This sounds like classic misdirection to me.
While fake guests arrived at MSG, the couple will be
hundreds of miles away, if not a thousand, maybe Monacito, Napa,
Beachy Place, maybe the Caribbean. I'm also suspicious of the day.
July third is a misdirection. I guess it'd be July second,
or fourth, or fifth, Not that I care about any
(34:52):
of this now. Yeah, I hope so that that would be. Yeah,
that's hard to like the idea making a show of it. Oh,
it's just it's despicable. We're going to get married on
some island most people have never heard of, because you
have to be them to even know what exists. Maybe
they're going to get married quote unquote and a very small,
intimate ceremony with friends and family and then do the
(35:13):
super bonanza for their fans, breaking a zillion dollars and wow, yeah,
I know, I know. Let's see this from Jim on
the topic of the obnoxious and insufferable anterior eyed Scott Pelly.
Pelly's an a hole. He thinks he's indispensable to sixty Minutes,
a show that used to feature Dan rather Morley Safer,
Mike Wallace, and Andy Rooney. But somehow in Pelly's mind,
(35:35):
the show can't survive without him. What a narcissistic whanker.
That's a good point, and it's heyday. All those people
are gone and it kept on, so you'll be okay,
or it'll be okay without you. And then the invaluable
JT and Livermore says, I'm officially off the Trump bandwagon
when it comes to his handling of the Iran War.
It's a certain saneness to his handling of the Russia
(35:56):
Ukraine War, and his handling of the Iran War comes
down to the same Trump flaw. In both cases. Trump
thinks everybody is simply positioning for a better deal, when
in reality sometimes people actually don't want a quote unquote deal.
They need to win. Yea, and he goes into some detail,
but that's the gist. Or you are a religious zalet
like the Uranians, or some sort of crazy megalomania act
(36:19):
like Putin, and those are different things than a regular
business deal.
