Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well, the whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes
or no to this deal here. But in the interim
it remains rather tense environment here because overnight here we
saw five rockets being fired from Gaza here at Israel.
Just goes to show how fragile this whole situation is.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Robert Sherman of News Nation, who's actually in that part
of the world, commenting on the big piece deal. He
goes on.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
President making clear that Hamas has a matter of days
in order to give their formal indication on all of this.
And we have an understanding exactly where Hamas's hesitations are.
On the one hand, the total demilitarization, the destruction of
their offensive weaponry capabilities, their tunnels, that's one concern that
they have. Another major one is the governance of Gaza,
(01:10):
which will not be Hamas. Instead, it'll be overseen by
this Board of Peace, which we headed up by President Trump.
Those are some of the areas in which Hamas has
expressed disinterest in this deal to this point.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Okay, so what's your alternative there, Hamas continue to fight
and die. Yes, if you're a difficult you don't really
mind that, right exactly, or.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Pretend to comply and then be out of compliance as
quickly as possible, which.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Will be the same result. You're gonna die. I wish
Trump would put a firm end date on it and say,
instead of saying in the next few days, that's not
the best way to force an answer, how about midnight
Saturday or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I think that may be coming.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
He might be a little patient with them because they
he knows that it's this is a big transitional moment
for them. But at some point he's going to say, look,
it's got to be by the end of the day today.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You know, here's my prediction, and I know you agree
with this.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hamas's greatest weapon is anti Israeli world opinion. Yeah, I've
got a great quote from a Hamas leader about why
do you think this gets so much attention.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's because it's Jews.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
People kind of like what we do. That's a paraphrase
of what he said. But what was my point? Oh, so,
the greatest weapon Hamas has is the world opinion progressive opinion,
especially against Israel and or weak spinallest politicians in Europe,
you know, making declarations so their own Muslim populations don't get.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Mad at them.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So I think what they're gonna do is say, we
agree wholeheartedly, one percent, we're in we want peace, peace
for the region, and then they will violate the agreement
every chance they get and bring the weight of the
IDF down upon themselves while claiming to the rest of
the world that, hey, we agreed to the peace deal.
(03:09):
We're being oppressed here. We agreed, we agreed, and your
soft heads of the world will fall for that.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Will they agree and then hold off long enough for
Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Because if
it looks like it's in place and it's happening, he
is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I think,
how would you not give it to him?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh, you'd have to.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
If this thing comes together, And so Hamas would hold
off so Donnie could go out at I don't think
they would do it and not a tactical move. I
just wonder if the timing will work out for Donald Trump. Oh,
I don't know, Yeah, I don't know, So I don't
know who Scott Galway is.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Who is Scott Galloway? Is he somebody I should know? Anyway?
He was on MSNBC this morning making an argument we're
often making.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Twenty two hundred American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We
go on to kill three and a half million Japanese,
including one hundred thousand and one night twenty eight hundred
Americans in nine to eleven. We go on to kill
four hundred thousand people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren't
accused of genocide. You had if Mexico had elected a
Jihatas Kartel to run their country and then they incurred
(04:18):
into Texas and on a per capita basis, killed thirty
five thousand people or the population of the University of Texas,
and on the way back took the freshman class at
SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What would we do? It'd be the Great.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews are not allowed and
Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war, and they
are prosecuting a war more humanly than we have done.
The ratio of combatants to civilians. Is of civilian death
to combatant mortality is lower than it was in Mosil,
lower than it was in Japan, lower was in Germany.
(04:53):
So there's just a different standard for Jews in Israel
when it comes to prosecuting a war. They're allowed to
fight back to truce, but unlike America or any other
Western nation that has attacked usitiously, they're not allowed to
win a war. It's a double standard.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
That's pretty interesting, and we've been saying it for a
long time and it's obviously true.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it's a little oversimplification of like the the
World War two stuff with Japan, as we've talked about,
but to the point remains.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, pretty pretty clever pr by Palestinians over the years,
going all the way back to Yasara AIRFOA and everybody
to position this all in such a way that Israel
is held to and you have to have a compliant
media obviously and a compliant un but to be able
to position Israel is being held to just a completely
different standard than any other country ever.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, And you couple that with the fact that there
has never been a situation that anybody can identify where
one country invaded their neighbor, killed, raped, murdered, took hostages,
et cetera, and then in the resulting war lost that
they didn't lose their land, their sovereignty or both. That's
(06:06):
always the result and always will be the result.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Well, you've made the argument that this is the first
war in the social media age. How are you going
to end a war in the social media age the
way other wars ended? Can you imagine the social media
that would have been coming out of Japan when we
were finishing that off Having just talked about the eightieth
(06:31):
anniversary of that, or Germany or anywhere else. Because there's
a lot of human suffering, a lot of civilian suffering.
That happens when you have to completely devastate an enemy
to get them to surrender completely.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, you have to do a lot to get that
to happen. Just read Sherman's letter to Atlanta. Yeah yeah, yeah,
he said, Yeah, war is miserable, it's horrible. The quickest
way to end it is I'm going to defeat the
Confederate forces and it's going to be ugly.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So sorry, And part of a total victory is getting
the population to surrender also.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Hey don't like invade your neighbor and kill and murder
and rape and burn.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's a bad idea anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Ah, more on that to come for the rest of
our lives, so stay tuned for that.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Oh I don't know the first chapter is gonna We're
gonna see this weekend. I think they either gonna say
yes or no. I think, mmmm, well, here's something you
don't often hear. Gosh, I wish I was in Brooklyn's
Federal Jail to take Ditty's class on the Power of
Positive Thinking. P Diddy and the Peace stands for a professor.
(07:38):
That's right, he's teaching a class to the inmates. Very popular. Okay,
we've got that coming up, among other things. Stay tuned.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I always say there's two things on this earth you
should do. You should eat with the Italians and you
should drink with the Irish.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Never play poker with a guy named Boss. Whatever those
things are. That's Connor McGregor, the absolutely crazy UFC fighter.
Drink drink with the Irish, and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
What eat with it?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Play it again, Michael, for God's sake, com man, clean
out your ears.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
I always say there's two things on this earth you
should do. You should eat with the Italians, and you
should drink with the.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Irish, and then sucker punch an old guy at the
bar from behind because you're a jerk. I don't I
hate Connor McGregor too much to enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Connor McGregor, who should probably be behind bars and probably
will be.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
At some point. I bet money of that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So Sean diddy Combe's career imploded when dozens of women,
dozens accused him of sex trafficking and beatings and rapings
and all sorts of depatchery. But now jackies teaching his
fellow inmates how to build up their careers. Combs has
offered a six week class it is Brooklyn Federal Jail
called free Game with Diddy. Free game is slang on
(08:57):
the street. They tell me for knowledge or information given freely.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Free game.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
So the courses are not as Katie had suggested. How
to throw a freak off, just figured based on his past. Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Step one oil use for fun and profit.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Right. Step one, order ten thousand bottles of baby bill.
Step up two drug your participants because they ain't gonna
like this.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Draw step free, Draw.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Up a guest list including friends and family you haven't
seen for a while anyway. So according to the Free
Game with Diddy syllabus, the course is a mix of
positive thinking and business tips that give attende's advice on
how to outwork the competition, tame their egos, deal with failure,
and set goals.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And there is homework. So did king to the syllabus, Yes.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Did he think that this would help him get a
better deal? Is that why he's doing this?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Indeed, and excuse me, and his lawyers are citing this
is a reason that he should get a much shorter sent.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Sure, he drugs and rapes and traffics underage women for sex,
but look at him give back to the community the course.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
This is from the syllabus.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
The course offers exclusive insights into the journey of Sean
Diddycomb's tracing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a
globally recognized icon and influential business mogul. Is that again
leaving any mention of prostitution, human trafficking or beating women
out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Let's see these lawyers provide the syllabus to the court.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They said the music Mogul views the class as one
of the most impactful and important endeavors of my life.
And they are citing his willingness to share his with
usdom to get a lighter sentence. Now here's the part
that I found really interesting. Oh great reviews for the
class among the inmates to.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Say, assignments got an essay? Assignments do on Friday? How
to handle a mouthy bee in the hallway of a hotel?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Oh wow, dark but great comment. Yeah yeah, dark, but Katie,
the judges will allow.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So hate that it worked.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
That it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
One more did he note? And then we'll get on
to other things.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But Colmbs launched the course after inmates kept asking him
how he.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Started his career.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
According to letters, his defense teams have been to the
judge uh blah blah. Several great reviews from inmates saying
how it's changed their life.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Keep up the great work, Zabadaba.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Inmates teaching each other is fairly common in prison where
everybody's got plenty of free time and is expected to
return to society eventually. For instance, Thereno's founder Elizabeth Holmes
has taught French, not biology. She's taught French to inmates.
(11:42):
The founder of FTX, Sam Bankman freed, remember him helped
fellow prisoners study for high school equivalency diplomas.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I was going into the prison for a while teaching
a thing. I did that for about a year.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I know a guy who has been doing it for
years and years, and he describes it as in incredibly rewarding.
Bill Baroni, you serve time in prison after being convicted
in the convicted in the New Jersey traffic jams scandaled
known as Bridge Gate. He was later turned loose by
the way it was overturned.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But uh.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He worked with other white collar inmates to teach a
shark tank style class to his fellow prisoners about how
to become an entrepreneur.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Another p Diddy tip, she starts to get tired. That's
when you need to bring in the kenemine because she's
about hour thirty. She's going to start to get really tired.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The seminars and Comb's class are named after a mix
of self help jargon and cultural references, and include just
do it, execute time, waits for no Man, and can't.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Stop, won't stop, along other things.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He has a teaching assistant just like a university class,
and a Spanish interpreter.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Wow. So when I was going into the local prison,
and the whole process is something I mean from the
prison guards picking you up at the gate and driving
you in there and going through all the various security
things and anything you get back into the bowels of
the prison. And this was all about, Uh, maybe you
should stop drinking. That's what the stuff I was talking
(13:13):
about was. But uh, some of the people are there
are usually a handful of people who are sincerely interested
in being there, and what you have to say, there
are several people clearly just want to get out of
their cells because they're bored that they're just they're they're
they're just there because they needed something else to do,
which is fine.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right, I get it fair enough.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, well I would the same a lot of botholder
making huh, all right.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Fine, basket weaving all rights better than sitting there and
staring at the wall.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Basket weaving taught by Ditty. See how that will get
you out of yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So, to earn your certificate of completion for taking Ditty's class,
students must complete homework assignments, including goal setting exercises, and
then essay assignment to incorporate lessons from Coomb's own journey.
He would grade it and tell you where you need
to improve it. And he said he's always saying if
you're not living, you're dying. And successful people do what
unsuccessful people won't do.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I bet it was the biggest problem was you couldn't
fit everybody into the class that wanted to take it.
I mean, he's a giant celebrity. You're in prison. Oh yeah,
here's a chance to go listen to a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, and he was one.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Of quite a few guys you could describe as street
hustlers who took their entrepreneurial spirit and their capacity for
hard work and ambition and became very, very wealthy. The
weird thing about sexual kinks and perversity is if you
put all of that aside, and if he were teaching
this class in a community college, for instance, or just offenders,
(14:49):
you know, low love offenders, young offenders, you'd think, Wow,
that's incredibly.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Cool that he's doing that. Now. Is it partly to
curry favor with a judge? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You think he's a tough teacher, like the they's got
to be seven hundred and fifty wards in double space or.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, no, great inflation with Diddy, No way, he will
drag you down a hall and kick you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Sorry, I couldn't go the hallway right right? Don't you?
Don't you be taking that elevator till your homework is done,
and if.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You do not get this paper in on time, I
will kick you in the hallway.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
I'll be excited to see how fast it takes for
one of those certificates of completion to end up on
like eBay.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
No kidding, if it's signed by p Diddy of course.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, yeah, I saw a Fox Was it Fox Digital
or Fox News? The TV show? Uh? Curtis fifty fifty
cent Jackson. He now refers to himself as is hosting
some sort of Show's fucking into the show?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Oh it's the Crime Stoppers or something.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I'll look OK. Yeah, But honestly, now you know he
had to change his name. What was the Biden's inflation
and everything?
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Fifty Ways to Catch a Killer with fifty cent?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
There you get it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Nobody's interested in somebody worth roughly nine pennies, which is
where he is compared to where he started.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So if it were thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Nine Ways to Catch a Killer hosted by fifty cent
I would never watch that because that would be stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
She man a Christmas some days.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
But I just, in all seriousness, a guy like that,
I think everybody could learn something from him about, you know,
just being positive, an entrepreneur, working hard.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He's a pretty disgusting human being. Though, how far are
you willing to take it? Dity cent or P didty pdity? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
P didty.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
How about Harvey Weinstein? You cool with him teaching some
you know, how to make it in Hollywood. I'm sure
he knows a lot about it. He's also a horrifying rapist.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah that's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm just making the point and you're not letting me,
probably because of racism, that a lot of these guys
are amazing America can success stories, and I'd like to
hear more from them how they got started and how
they turned. You know, I sold pot on the corner
into I now have a clothing line.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Luigi Manjoni, I bowed eyebrow trimming or some sort of
life God, here.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Goes Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
What if I persuaded my caucus to say, I'm going
to shut the government down. I am going to not
pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a
politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. Do we believe
strongly in immigration reform. We could say we're shutting down
the government. We're not going to raise the debt ceiling
until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental chaos.
(17:41):
We do not want to let a Trump temper tantrum
govern our policies or cause the shutdown of a government,
which everyone on both sides of the aisles knows is
the wrong idea.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
That's years past what Chuck Schumer was against shutdowns. It's
just they both both side to do this, the whole
shut Now, That's why I don't like to talk about it.
It's all stupid. Both sides, when they think it benefits them,
will shut down the government, and then the other side
claims that we should never shut down the government, and
then you flip scripts when it goes. Who cares? So
far in my lifetime, and I don't think it's ever
(18:12):
amounted to anything in terms of doing anybody any good
for anything. It's a sign of our dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I want to get to a verb before I get
to the whole. Is the shutdown really about illegals getting
free healthcare but a verb. I believe it's come up
on the show recently, Katie. I think you maybe brought
it to us, or maybe I'm misremembering that. So yesterday,
the Democrats had attempted a twenty four hour live stream
(18:46):
with all their I mean all the heavyweight to a
Schumer and Jeffreys and Pelosi and AOC and all these
different people at various times speaking that this live stream
going all day long, and they're hoping to really build
momentum to this for this, and they at times had
as few as four hundred people watching. Eventually pulled the
(19:06):
plug on it way early because it was not working.
I mean, at one point there were two hundred people watching,
oh nationwide, whereas the White House did a live feed
also and had one hundred thousand people watching. So at
the time, at the time that the live this is
(19:27):
some inside DC stuff. No normal person knew this was
going on or cares at all. None of you kne
you listening now, and none of your friends were on
either of the live streams or paying attention to them
at all. This is completely DC media crap. But anyway,
if you were following both live streams at the same
(19:49):
time at the time that the Democrats had four hundred
on THEIRS and the Republicans had one hundred thousand on THEIRS.
One of the Republicans tweeted out, the White House is
schlonging Democrats on the viewer count here. Oh now, I
I think was it U Katie that brought us that
schlanging is a verb? Now a while back?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
I possibly it sounds like something i'd say.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I think has become all that.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Might have been one of your kids that said that schlanging.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I feel like it made it onto the air somehow. Anyway,
we please.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Get to a definition before that word is spoken anymore and.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Untoward it's it's a Is it Yiddish or anything like that?
Or is it just a yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:37):
It's derived from the Yiddish slang word?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Is it an f SEC violation this word?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
If so, I'm obviously fired. So only if you're an
anti Semite whatever you're reading from there about it being
a Yiddish word for.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Yeah, but it implies a humiliating defeat as a verb shlonging.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Well, if a word's going to become poppet or I
need to be able to use it properly.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
We gotta work harder.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I mean, as a there's a Republican congress person that
put out the White House is schlonging the Democrats on
the viewer count right now at a hundred thousand one
side and four under the.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Other place, Claria, what else would you call it?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I don't want to be Maybe you do want to
be schlong. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I don't tell right what was the White House streaming?
Do we know that?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I don't know similar pro funny Mexican videos maybe I
don't know. Trump is all five mariachis and Jkem Jeffries
and a black mustache and sombrero.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
So why is in the fake video Jkem Jeffreys the
leader of the Democrats in the House wearing a sombrero
in a big black mustache. It's two with the mariachi
band playing in the background. That is Trump on the trumpet? Uh? Uh,
it's to draw attention to the whole illegals, usually of
Hispanic descent, are going to get healthcare paid for by
(22:02):
the taxpayer. You're an illegal and you're getting taxpayer funded
healthcare under the Democrats plan.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
To what extent that's true or not? I haven't looked
into it, because I'm not gonna look into it. I
know how this works after all these years. Legislation gets
so complicated. You can have two different things that our
opposite statements be true at the same time. Very easy
when it comes to legislation. It's so it's like the
famous John Kerry. I voted for it before I voted
against it, which was technically true. It just didn't work
(22:34):
as a political message. It's just right. Legislation gets very complicated.
But as Charlie Hurt pointed out yesterday on Fox, the
Democrats earned people being skeptical about their stance on because
all mainstream media is saying that is a lie. By
the way, the Democrats proposal does not allow illegals to
(22:57):
have healthcare paid for by the tax payer. Well, they
earned this position.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Let's remember in the Democrat primary for twenty twenty, all
the Democrats running, they're about a dozen of them month
stage were asked which ones of them supported giving free
healthcare to illegal aliens paid for by legal taxpayers. Every
single one of them raised their hands. So I don't
even know why they're pretending to refute this and to
(23:25):
claim that this isn't what they're doing because this is
exactly what they promised their voters, their Democrat voters, that
they would do.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Do you remember that. I remember coming in the next
day and talking about it. I was flower gast watching
on TV. Every single person raised their hand up for
who's in favor of free health care for illegals?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I remember famously, Senile Joe Biden didn't raise his hand,
then he looked around, then he raised his hand late.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So crazy. But yeah, so you earned epticism about this.
It's a lot more difficult that that is not true.
We do not believe.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
You.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
For the record, the legislation does not specifically say and
we're going to give this to illegals. It just lets
it happen. It does not include the safeguards to prevent it.
So yeah, they can make a loyally argument that no,
it doesn't give it to legal aliens in the right,
but it's it's misleading.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Why I think they're getting schlonged on the issue.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Oh up and up one side and down the other,
kidding me repeatedly.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Long.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I was watching an interview last night on Fox News
and it was one learned commentator talking to another, and
the one guy said just.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Read the legislation. It's right there. Oh, that's right, it was.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
John Roberts was interviewing Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
and Mike Johnson said, look at section sixty one, sub
section B thirty two B. It says right there. Then
and Robert stops him. He said, I did read it.
I couldn't figure out what it meant. And they had
a bit of a chuckle. But to your point about,
(25:09):
you know, God bless it, he can't be stopped, Michael.
You have the microphone button right in front of you.
Do the right thing. Have the courage, Michael to do
the right thing anyway, But to your point, John Roberts,
who's a very bright guy, was like, I would like
to say I agree with you, but I can't. I
can't make any sense of this legislative language. So yeah,
(25:31):
it's just there's so much dishonesty. That's why we're supposed
to have a small government. Oh well, so a different topic.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I think the WNBA players are about to make a
huge mistake. So the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement is set
to expire end of this month, and they are talking
about a work stoppage that they're gonna walk out. Wow, and.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
That shut down thinks that's a bad idea.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, the government shut down things. Boys, anybody gonna care?
Uh man, oh man. So the players wearing the shirts
that say because the playoffs are going on right now,
you didn't know that, which is part of the point.
You didn't know that the playoffs are going on right
now because very few people watch and it's it's precious God,
bless bless your heart. Is that what you're supposed to say?
(26:25):
Bless their hearts? That all your mainstream sports broadcasts will
throw that in because they think they should to be nice.
It is not driven by any interest in it. If
it were a male sport that got as much attention
as the WNBA does, they wouldn't cover it. The playoffs
are going on for indoor soccer, for instance, wouldn't make
(26:47):
it onto your sports cast right because it's just not
a juice to it, and there's not for the w NBA.
And they're wearing the t shirts for the playoffs to
pay us what you owe us, well they are. You've
been subsidized to death by the NBA this entire time.
You would not be solvent at all. If the NBA
wasn't subsidizing this.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
How do they not get that?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I don't know whoever, their leaders are not being straight
with them.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, and or And I keep thinking, I fully appreciate this,
and I keep being amazed anew the capacity human beings
have to ignore facts that are inconvenient to their ideology,
including like ignoring all of the facts. How can as
a WNBA player, you you suggest that you're getting ripped off.
(27:34):
The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA to build goodwill and
because they had a string of players who abused women
or raped women or whatever, and they thought, oh my god,
we got to do something positive for women.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
That's the reality.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, they're lacrosse leagues that I don't have as many
of you or tilt. Caitlyn Clark showed up. Of course,
that's another controversy. The the various heads of the union
stuff are again saying Caitlyn ought to shut up. The
only reason she's earning these riches is because of the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Okay, well, they might drive her into ice cubes three
on three competition. Eventually she might think, you know what,
screw this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Or for form the and I want to cut of
this if it happens, Kaitlyn all Right, form the Harlem
Girl Trotters Women's Razzle Dazzle Basketball League and she jacks
up fifty footers regularly.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Right, they play the.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Washington general Lets or whatever, and the Barnstorming tour for
us make plenty of money. Then Washington general Lets are
not going to elbow her in the side of her
head either.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I don't take any glee in this. I mean, it's
fine with me that the WNBA exists, and the fans
that like it like it, that's fine. It's just the
pretending it's more than it's not, is well, it's just dumb. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's an odd thing for a sports league and
(29:10):
these girls that have worked so hard and and everything
their whole lives to to get into this being misled
that you're just being really stolen from now. Now, if
the NBA was going to be honest about it, they'd say,
you know, this is a loss for us, We should
probably probably let this go.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I don't know, I don't know.
I'm tired, and the world and your people don't understand commerce.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
And you're every player, but Caitlin Clark who's already rich enough.
She didn't have to work again all those other plays.
You're going to be in Europe playing for even a
smaller crowd for even less money. If this goes away, yeah,
I don't know. We'll see if they if they actually
do a workstopage and outwards. I mean it. It It
hurt major League Baseball, and and that was at a
time when baseball was really beloved, and it really really
(30:01):
damaged that sport.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, part of it resentment, but part of it, just
as I said yesterday about my baseball viewing, I just
fell out of the habit.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
And there's lots of entertainment options in the modern role,
lots of them more than ever. Right, we'll finished strong
next time.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Rosie o'donald said, every time she walks into a pub
in Ireland, people give her free drinks.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
She left out that it's from a bowl on the floor.
Didn't have my headphones on? What did I miss? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So why didn't I notice this? Obviously? So I mentioned
earlier in the show. Elon is once again the world's
richest person. He briefly was dethroned by Paul Allen, who
had had a huge He gained one hundred billion dollars
in one day, because gain anybody's ever had in one
day in personal wealth and passed Elon. But Elon's back
(31:01):
on top again after yesterday.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
And why didn't I notice that this obviously happened. Tesla
stock skyrocketed on their earnings report. Why because this seventy
five hundred dollars EV mandate ended yesterday or day before whatever,
the end of September, and and people ran out like
crazy to buy Tesla's before it went away, and Tesla
(31:24):
stock just screamed up in the last month.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Why didn't I think of that. That's an obvious one.
It's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, But why would the stock go up? I mean
because it won't continue.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It works.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
People were anticipating what they anticipated. I guess, you know,
and then it will.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh it had gone up, I say, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
But because of that, Elon his net worth went up
so much. With Tesla stock back up to a crazy level,
he's now worth for the first time ever, we have
someone on planet Earth worth a half a trillion dollars.
He's a half a trillionaire five hundred billion dollars. Wow,
that's crazy money.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, yeah, I would like to have more money than
I have.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I don't need that much money.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
How much would it change your life? Like my kids
ways say, what would you do if the will and
the lottery?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
They like to play that game, I'd say pretty much
exactly what I'm doing now. I don't think i'd do
much different. Oh no, I would, Yeah, I would very different.
I would have I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I would have houses all my favorite places instead of
like staying in hotels and schlapping my stuff there and back.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't want to go in any and see that
that that eliminates that need for me. I don't want
to go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
See, I like I would pick four or five golf
mecchas and have homes there where I could bring my
friends and we would just stay at my super cool
house and go play golf and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Other than that, probably not much. Well, I'd fly private,
for sure.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
If you if I went anywhere, I would, yes, yeah,
And I'm hoping not to some of them that.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm a simple man with simple needs. I love the
fact that private jet into four or five homes.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I love the fact that Elon you know, he's not
like Jeff Bezos thinking, well, I need to get the
world's biggest yacht, even bigger than the the NBS has
to show how freaking cool I am Elon doesn't seem
to care about that stuff all. What he cares about
the most is saving the planet. He thinks climate change
is a big problem. That's why he started electric car company.
(33:30):
He also impregnating hotties and having fifteen kids from thirteen
different women. And he also thinks the only species that
can survive in the universe needs to be multiplanetary. That
there have probably been other species on in the world,
but they only lived in one planet, and eventually that
planet either gets ruined or dies on his own, so
that's the end of the species. So for humans to survive,
(33:53):
we need to be on more than one planet. He
believes that to his core, and that's what he's going
to spend his money on.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I would love to talk to him about that, just
because you know, my skeptical take is that anything truly
cataclysmic is unlikely to happen for so many years, there's
just too much chance for other things you haven't anticipated
to happen that there's no point in planning.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
For what's going to happen in three million years.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
So you think you should just go out and buy
the biggest, buy an even bigger yacht than Jeff Bezos has.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh yeah, and a wife with big boltons too. That
that is what Bezels did.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Popcorn, peanuts, pot final thoughts.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Got your final thoughts here?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah, I was from our conversation earlier. We were wondering
at big, big concert festivals do they not not like
you have a beer stand? Do you have a weed stand?
At concerts? Somebody should probably conte a guy with a.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Tray walking around, get a joint. Who needs a giant
who's not high enough? Get higher?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Let's get a final.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up
for the day. Michael Angelo lead us off.
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Gotta be quick here. You can bribe me and uh
pizza and donuts if I blackmail you, I don't need cash.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Okay, fabulous Katie Green a final thought for us.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Just a thought for Jack's son with the braces teeth
might be a little sore today.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh really yeah? Ice cream soft foods.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Just a heads up, Wow, we're out of time.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
My final thought very quickly whire. Brace is so freaking expensive.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Back to Joe, Oh yeah, too expensive. I don't believe me.
I've paid the bills.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
So many people, thanks a little times, Thank you good Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
In Getty dot com.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
We will see tomorrow. God bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I'm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
A stomach virus nearly knocked Jack down.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Advice eat some rice or a little bread. Buffy is
one O deal.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Bet you better get out of your head just Fastidy
or Epstein.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
It's a dead in the right kind of massage. It's
the right kind of massage. If you think it's right,
well you're not that brighte the right kind of masage.
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Well, the whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes
or no to this deal here. But in the interim
it remains rather tense environment here because overnight here we
saw five rockets being fired from Gaza here at Israel.
Just goes to show how fragile this whole situation is.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Robert Sherman of News Nation, who's actually in that part
of the world, commenting on the big piece deal. He
goes on.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
President making clear that Hamas has a matter of days
in order to give their formal indication on all of this.
And we have an understanding exactly where Hamas's hesitations are.
On the one hand, the total demilitarization, the destruction of
their offensive weaponry capabilities, their tunnels, that's one concern that
they have. Another major one is the governance of Gaza,
(01:10):
which will not be Hamas. Instead, it'll be overseen by
this Board of Peace, which we headed up by President Trump.
Those are some of the areas in which Hamas has
expressed disinterest in this deal to this point.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Okay, so what's your alternative there, Hamas continue to fight
and die. Yes, if you're a difficult you don't really
mind that, right exactly, or.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Pretend to comply and then be out of compliance as
quickly as possible, which.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Will be the same result. You're gonna die. I wish
Trump would put a firm end date on it and say,
instead of saying in the next few days, that's not
the best way to force an answer, how about midnight
Saturday or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I think that may be coming.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
He might be a little patient with them because they
he knows that it's this is a big transitional moment
for them. But at some point he's going to say, look,
it's got to be by the end of the day today.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You know, here's my prediction, and I know you agree
with this.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Hamas's greatest weapon is anti Israeli world opinion. Yeah, I've
got a great quote from a Hamas leader about why
do you think this gets so much attention.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's because it's Jews.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
People kind of like what we do. That's a paraphrase
of what he said. But what was my point? Oh, so,
the greatest weapon Hamas has is the world opinion progressive opinion,
especially against Israel and or weak spinallest politicians in Europe,
you know, making declarations so their own Muslim populations don't get.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Mad at them.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So I think what they're gonna do is say, we
agree wholeheartedly, one percent, we're in we want peace, peace
for the region, and then they will violate the agreement
every chance they get and bring the weight of the
IDF down upon themselves while claiming to the rest of
the world that, hey, we agreed to the peace deal.
(03:09):
We're being oppressed here. We agreed, we agreed, and your
soft heads of the world will fall for that.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Will they agree and then hold off long enough for
Donald Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Because if
it looks like it's in place and it's happening, he
is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I think,
how would you not give it to him?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh, you'd have to.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
If this thing comes together, And so Hamas would hold
off so Donnie could go out at I don't think
they would do it and not a tactical move. I
just wonder if the timing will work out for Donald Trump. Oh,
I don't know, Yeah, I don't know, So I don't
know who Scott Galway is.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Who is Scott Galloway? Is he somebody I should know? Anyway?
He was on MSNBC this morning making an argument we're
often making.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Twenty two hundred American servicemen killed at Pearl Harbor. We
go on to kill three and a half million Japanese,
including one hundred thousand and one night twenty eight hundred
Americans in nine to eleven. We go on to kill
four hundred thousand people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We weren't
accused of genocide. You had if Mexico had elected a
Jihatas Kartel to run their country and then they incurred
(04:18):
into Texas and on a per capita basis, killed thirty
five thousand people or the population of the University of Texas,
and on the way back took the freshman class at
SMU hostage and hid them under tunnels.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What would we do? It'd be the Great.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Sonora radioactive parking lot. But Jews are not allowed and
Israel is not allowed to prosecute a war, and they
are prosecuting a war more humanly than we have done.
The ratio of combatants to civilians. Is of civilian death
to combatant mortality is lower than it was in Mosil,
lower than it was in Japan, lower was in Germany.
(04:53):
So there's just a different standard for Jews in Israel
when it comes to prosecuting a war. They're allowed to
fight back to truce, but unlike America or any other
Western nation that has attacked usitiously, they're not allowed to
win a war. It's a double standard.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
That's pretty interesting, and we've been saying it for a
long time and it's obviously true.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it's a little oversimplification of like the the
World War two stuff with Japan, as we've talked about,
but to the point remains.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, pretty pretty clever pr by Palestinians over the years,
going all the way back to Yasara AIRFOA and everybody
to position this all in such a way that Israel
is held to and you have to have a compliant
media obviously and a compliant un but to be able
to position Israel is being held to just a completely
different standard than any other country ever.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Is right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, And you couple that with the fact that there
has never been a situation that anybody can identify where
one country invaded their neighbor, killed, raped, murdered, took hostages,
et cetera, and then in the resulting war lost that
they didn't lose their land, their sovereignty or both. That's
(06:06):
always the result and always will be the result.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Well, you've made the argument that this is the first
war in the social media age. How are you going
to end a war in the social media age the
way other wars ended? Can you imagine the social media
that would have been coming out of Japan when we
were finishing that off Having just talked about the eightieth
(06:31):
anniversary of that, or Germany or anywhere else. Because there's
a lot of human suffering, a lot of civilian suffering.
That happens when you have to completely devastate an enemy
to get them to surrender completely.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, you have to do a lot to get that
to happen. Just read Sherman's letter to Atlanta. Yeah yeah, yeah,
he said, Yeah, war is miserable, it's horrible. The quickest
way to end it is I'm going to defeat the
Confederate forces and it's going to be ugly.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
So sorry, And part of a total victory is getting
the population to surrender also.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Hey don't like invade your neighbor and kill and murder
and rape and burn.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's a bad idea anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Ah, more on that to come for the rest of
our lives, so stay tuned for that.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Oh I don't know the first chapter is gonna We're
gonna see this weekend. I think they either gonna say
yes or no. I think, mmmm, well, here's something you
don't often hear. Gosh, I wish I was in Brooklyn's
Federal Jail to take Ditty's class on the Power of
Positive Thinking. P Diddy and the Peace stands for a professor.
(07:38):
That's right, he's teaching a class to the inmates. Very popular. Okay,
we've got that coming up, among other things. Stay tuned.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I always say there's two things on this earth you
should do. You should eat with the Italians and you
should drink with the Irish.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Never play poker with a guy named Boss. Whatever those
things are. That's Connor McGregor, the absolutely crazy UFC fighter.
Drink drink with the Irish, and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
What eat with it?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Play it again, Michael, for God's sake, com man, clean
out your ears.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
I always say there's two things on this earth you
should do. You should eat with the Italians, and you
should drink with the.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Irish, and then sucker punch an old guy at the
bar from behind because you're a jerk. I don't I
hate Connor McGregor too much to enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Connor McGregor, who should probably be behind bars and probably
will be.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
At some point. I bet money of that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So Sean diddy Combe's career imploded when dozens of women,
dozens accused him of sex trafficking and beatings and rapings
and all sorts of depatchery. But now jackies teaching his
fellow inmates how to build up their careers. Combs has
offered a six week class it is Brooklyn Federal Jail
called free Game with Diddy. Free game is slang on
(08:57):
the street. They tell me for knowledge or information given freely.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Free game.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
So the courses are not as Katie had suggested. How
to throw a freak off, just figured based on his past. Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Step one oil use for fun and profit.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Right. Step one, order ten thousand bottles of baby bill.
Step up two drug your participants because they ain't gonna
like this.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Draw step free, Draw.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Up a guest list including friends and family you haven't
seen for a while anyway. So according to the Free
Game with Diddy syllabus, the course is a mix of
positive thinking and business tips that give attende's advice on
how to outwork the competition, tame their egos, deal with failure,
and set goals.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And there is homework. So did king to the syllabus, Yes.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Did he think that this would help him get a
better deal? Is that why he's doing this?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Indeed, and excuse me, and his lawyers are citing this
is a reason that he should get a much shorter sent.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Sure, he drugs and rapes and traffics underage women for sex,
but look at him give back to the community the course.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
This is from the syllabus.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
The course offers exclusive insights into the journey of Sean
Diddycomb's tracing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a
globally recognized icon and influential business mogul. Is that again
leaving any mention of prostitution, human trafficking or beating women
out of it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Let's see these lawyers provide the syllabus to the court.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They said the music Mogul views the class as one
of the most impactful and important endeavors of my life.
And they are citing his willingness to share his with
usdom to get a lighter sentence. Now here's the part
that I found really interesting. Oh great reviews for the
class among the inmates to.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Say, assignments got an essay? Assignments do on Friday? How
to handle a mouthy bee in the hallway of a hotel?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Oh wow, dark but great comment. Yeah yeah, dark, but Katie,
the judges will allow.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So hate that it worked.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
That it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
One more did he note? And then we'll get on
to other things.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
But Colmbs launched the course after inmates kept asking him
how he.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Started his career.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
According to letters, his defense teams have been to the
judge uh blah blah. Several great reviews from inmates saying
how it's changed their life.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Keep up the great work, Zabadaba.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Inmates teaching each other is fairly common in prison where
everybody's got plenty of free time and is expected to
return to society eventually. For instance, Thereno's founder Elizabeth Holmes
has taught French, not biology. She's taught French to inmates.
(11:42):
The founder of FTX, Sam Bankman freed, remember him helped
fellow prisoners study for high school equivalency diplomas.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I was going into the prison for a while teaching
a thing. I did that for about a year.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I know a guy who has been doing it for
years and years, and he describes it as in incredibly rewarding.
Bill Baroni, you serve time in prison after being convicted
in the convicted in the New Jersey traffic jams scandaled
known as Bridge Gate. He was later turned loose by
the way it was overturned.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
But uh.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He worked with other white collar inmates to teach a
shark tank style class to his fellow prisoners about how
to become an entrepreneur.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Another p Diddy tip, she starts to get tired. That's
when you need to bring in the kenemine because she's
about hour thirty. She's going to start to get really tired.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The seminars and Comb's class are named after a mix
of self help jargon and cultural references, and include just
do it, execute time, waits for no Man, and can't.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Stop, won't stop, along other things.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He has a teaching assistant just like a university class,
and a Spanish interpreter.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Wow. So when I was going into the local prison,
and the whole process is something I mean from the
prison guards picking you up at the gate and driving
you in there and going through all the various security
things and anything you get back into the bowels of
the prison. And this was all about, Uh, maybe you
should stop drinking. That's what the stuff I was talking
(13:13):
about was. But uh, some of the people are there
are usually a handful of people who are sincerely interested
in being there, and what you have to say, there
are several people clearly just want to get out of
their cells because they're bored that they're just they're they're
they're just there because they needed something else to do,
which is fine.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right, I get it fair enough.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, well I would the same a lot of botholder
making huh, all right.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Fine, basket weaving all rights better than sitting there and
staring at the wall.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Basket weaving taught by Ditty. See how that will get
you out of yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So, to earn your certificate of completion for taking Ditty's class,
students must complete homework assignments, including goal setting exercises, and
then essay assignment to incorporate lessons from Coomb's own journey.
He would grade it and tell you where you need
to improve it. And he said he's always saying if
you're not living, you're dying. And successful people do what
unsuccessful people won't do.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I bet it was the biggest problem was you couldn't
fit everybody into the class that wanted to take it.
I mean, he's a giant celebrity. You're in prison. Oh yeah,
here's a chance to go listen to a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, and he was one.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Of quite a few guys you could describe as street
hustlers who took their entrepreneurial spirit and their capacity for
hard work and ambition and became very, very wealthy. The
weird thing about sexual kinks and perversity is if you
put all of that aside, and if he were teaching
this class in a community college, for instance, or just offenders,
(14:49):
you know, low love offenders, young offenders, you'd think, Wow,
that's incredibly.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Cool that he's doing that. Now. Is it partly to
curry favor with a judge? Yeah, of course.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You think he's a tough teacher, like the they's got
to be seven hundred and fifty wards in double space or.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, no, great inflation with Diddy, No way, he will
drag you down a hall and kick you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Sorry, I couldn't go the hallway right right? Don't you?
Don't you be taking that elevator till your homework is done,
and if.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You do not get this paper in on time, I
will kick you in the hallway.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
I'll be excited to see how fast it takes for
one of those certificates of completion to end up on
like eBay.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
No kidding, if it's signed by p Diddy of course.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yeah, yeah, I saw a Fox Was it Fox Digital
or Fox News? The TV show? Uh? Curtis fifty fifty
cent Jackson. He now refers to himself as is hosting
some sort of Show's fucking into the show?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Oh it's the Crime Stoppers or something.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I'll look OK. Yeah, But honestly, now you know he
had to change his name. What was the Biden's inflation
and everything?
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Fifty Ways to Catch a Killer with fifty cent?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
There you get it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Nobody's interested in somebody worth roughly nine pennies, which is
where he is compared to where he started.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So if it were thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Nine Ways to Catch a Killer hosted by fifty cent
I would never watch that because that would be stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
She man a Christmas some days.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
But I just, in all seriousness, a guy like that,
I think everybody could learn something from him about, you know,
just being positive, an entrepreneur, working hard.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
He's a pretty disgusting human being. Though, how far are
you willing to take it? Dity cent or P didty pdity? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
P didty.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
How about Harvey Weinstein? You cool with him teaching some
you know, how to make it in Hollywood. I'm sure
he knows a lot about it. He's also a horrifying rapist.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah that's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm just making the point and you're not letting me,
probably because of racism, that a lot of these guys
are amazing America can success stories, and I'd like to
hear more from them how they got started and how
they turned. You know, I sold pot on the corner
into I now have a clothing line.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Luigi Manjoni, I bowed eyebrow trimming or some sort of
life God, here.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Goes Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
What if I persuaded my caucus to say, I'm going
to shut the government down. I am going to not
pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a
politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. Do we believe
strongly in immigration reform. We could say we're shutting down
the government. We're not going to raise the debt ceiling
until you pass immigration reform. It would be governmental chaos.
(17:41):
We do not want to let a Trump temper tantrum
govern our policies or cause the shutdown of a government,
which everyone on both sides of the aisles knows is
the wrong idea.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
That's years past what Chuck Schumer was against shutdowns. It's
just they both both side to do this, the whole
shut Now, That's why I don't like to talk about it.
It's all stupid. Both sides, when they think it benefits them,
will shut down the government, and then the other side
claims that we should never shut down the government, and
then you flip scripts when it goes. Who cares? So
far in my lifetime, and I don't think it's ever
(18:12):
amounted to anything in terms of doing anybody any good
for anything. It's a sign of our dysfunction.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I think.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
I want to get to a verb before I get
to the whole. Is the shutdown really about illegals getting
free healthcare but a verb. I believe it's come up
on the show recently, Katie. I think you maybe brought
it to us, or maybe I'm misremembering that. So yesterday,
the Democrats had attempted a twenty four hour live stream
(18:46):
with all their I mean all the heavyweight to a
Schumer and Jeffreys and Pelosi and AOC and all these
different people at various times speaking that this live stream
going all day long, and they're hoping to really build
momentum to this for this, and they at times had
as few as four hundred people watching. Eventually pulled the
(19:06):
plug on it way early because it was not working.
I mean, at one point there were two hundred people watching,
oh nationwide, whereas the White House did a live feed
also and had one hundred thousand people watching. So at
the time, at the time that the live this is
(19:27):
some inside DC stuff. No normal person knew this was
going on or cares at all. None of you kne
you listening now, and none of your friends were on
either of the live streams or paying attention to them
at all. This is completely DC media crap. But anyway,
if you were following both live streams at the same
(19:49):
time at the time that the Democrats had four hundred
on THEIRS and the Republicans had one hundred thousand on THEIRS.
One of the Republicans tweeted out, the White House is
schlonging Democrats on the viewer count here. Oh now, I
I think was it U Katie that brought us that
schlanging is a verb? Now a while back?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
I possibly it sounds like something i'd say.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I think has become all that.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Might have been one of your kids that said that schlanging.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
I feel like it made it onto the air somehow. Anyway,
we please.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Get to a definition before that word is spoken anymore and.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Untoward it's it's a Is it Yiddish or anything like that?
Or is it just a yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:37):
It's derived from the Yiddish slang word?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Is it an f SEC violation this word?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
If so, I'm obviously fired. So only if you're an
anti Semite whatever you're reading from there about it being
a Yiddish word for.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Yeah, but it implies a humiliating defeat as a verb shlonging.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Well, if a word's going to become poppet or I
need to be able to use it properly.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
We gotta work harder.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I mean, as a there's a Republican congress person that
put out the White House is schlonging the Democrats on
the viewer count right now at a hundred thousand one
side and four under the.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Other place, Claria, what else would you call it?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I don't want to be Maybe you do want to
be schlong. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I don't tell right what was the White House streaming?
Do we know that?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I don't know similar pro funny Mexican videos maybe I
don't know. Trump is all five mariachis and Jkem Jeffries
and a black mustache and sombrero.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
So why is in the fake video Jkem Jeffreys the
leader of the Democrats in the House wearing a sombrero
in a big black mustache. It's two with the mariachi
band playing in the background. That is Trump on the trumpet? Uh? Uh,
it's to draw attention to the whole illegals, usually of
Hispanic descent, are going to get healthcare paid for by
(22:02):
the taxpayer. You're an illegal and you're getting taxpayer funded
healthcare under the Democrats plan.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
To what extent that's true or not? I haven't looked
into it, because I'm not gonna look into it. I
know how this works after all these years. Legislation gets
so complicated. You can have two different things that our
opposite statements be true at the same time. Very easy
when it comes to legislation. It's so it's like the
famous John Kerry. I voted for it before I voted
against it, which was technically true. It just didn't work
(22:34):
as a political message. It's just right. Legislation gets very complicated.
But as Charlie Hurt pointed out yesterday on Fox, the
Democrats earned people being skeptical about their stance on because
all mainstream media is saying that is a lie. By
the way, the Democrats proposal does not allow illegals to
(22:57):
have healthcare paid for by the tax payer. Well, they
earned this position.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Let's remember in the Democrat primary for twenty twenty, all
the Democrats running, they're about a dozen of them month
stage were asked which ones of them supported giving free
healthcare to illegal aliens paid for by legal taxpayers. Every
single one of them raised their hands. So I don't
even know why they're pretending to refute this and to
(23:25):
claim that this isn't what they're doing because this is
exactly what they promised their voters, their Democrat voters, that
they would do.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Do you remember that. I remember coming in the next
day and talking about it. I was flower gast watching
on TV. Every single person raised their hand up for
who's in favor of free health care for illegals?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I remember famously, Senile Joe Biden didn't raise his hand,
then he looked around, then he raised his hand late.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
So crazy. But yeah, so you earned epticism about this.
It's a lot more difficult that that is not true.
We do not believe.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
You.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
For the record, the legislation does not specifically say and
we're going to give this to illegals. It just lets
it happen. It does not include the safeguards to prevent it.
So yeah, they can make a loyally argument that no,
it doesn't give it to legal aliens in the right,
but it's it's misleading.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Why I think they're getting schlonged on the issue.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Oh up and up one side and down the other,
kidding me repeatedly.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Long.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I was watching an interview last night on Fox News
and it was one learned commentator talking to another, and
the one guy said just.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Read the legislation. It's right there. Oh, that's right, it was.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
John Roberts was interviewing Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House,
and Mike Johnson said, look at section sixty one, sub
section B thirty two B. It says right there. Then
and Robert stops him. He said, I did read it.
I couldn't figure out what it meant. And they had
a bit of a chuckle. But to your point about,
(25:09):
you know, God bless it, he can't be stopped, Michael.
You have the microphone button right in front of you.
Do the right thing. Have the courage, Michael to do
the right thing anyway, But to your point, John Roberts,
who's a very bright guy, was like, I would like
to say I agree with you, but I can't. I
can't make any sense of this legislative language. So yeah,
(25:31):
it's just there's so much dishonesty. That's why we're supposed
to have a small government. Oh well, so a different topic.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I think the WNBA players are about to make a
huge mistake. So the WNBA's collective bargaining agreement is set
to expire end of this month, and they are talking
about a work stoppage that they're gonna walk out. Wow, and.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
That shut down thinks that's a bad idea.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, the government shut down things. Boys, anybody gonna care?
Uh man, oh man. So the players wearing the shirts
that say because the playoffs are going on right now,
you didn't know that, which is part of the point.
You didn't know that the playoffs are going on right
now because very few people watch and it's it's precious God,
bless bless your heart. Is that what you're supposed to say?
(26:25):
Bless their hearts? That all your mainstream sports broadcasts will
throw that in because they think they should to be nice.
It is not driven by any interest in it. If
it were a male sport that got as much attention
as the WNBA does, they wouldn't cover it. The playoffs
are going on for indoor soccer, for instance, wouldn't make
(26:47):
it onto your sports cast right because it's just not
a juice to it, and there's not for the w NBA.
And they're wearing the t shirts for the playoffs to
pay us what you owe us, well they are. You've
been subsidized to death by the NBA this entire time.
You would not be solvent at all. If the NBA
wasn't subsidizing this.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
How do they not get that?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I don't know whoever, their leaders are not being straight
with them.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, and or And I keep thinking, I fully appreciate this,
and I keep being amazed anew the capacity human beings
have to ignore facts that are inconvenient to their ideology,
including like ignoring all of the facts. How can as
a WNBA player, you you suggest that you're getting ripped off.
(27:34):
The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA to build goodwill and
because they had a string of players who abused women
or raped women or whatever, and they thought, oh my god,
we got to do something positive for women.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
That's the reality.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, they're lacrosse leagues that I don't have as many
of you or tilt. Caitlyn Clark showed up. Of course,
that's another controversy. The the various heads of the union
stuff are again saying Caitlyn ought to shut up. The
only reason she's earning these riches is because of the WNBA.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Okay, well, they might drive her into ice cubes three
on three competition. Eventually she might think, you know what,
screw this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Or for form the and I want to cut of
this if it happens, Kaitlyn all Right, form the Harlem
Girl Trotters Women's Razzle Dazzle Basketball League and she jacks
up fifty footers regularly.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Right, they play the.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Washington general Lets or whatever, and the Barnstorming tour for
us make plenty of money. Then Washington general Lets are
not going to elbow her in the side of her
head either.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I don't take any glee in this. I mean, it's
fine with me that the WNBA exists, and the fans
that like it like it, that's fine. It's just the
pretending it's more than it's not, is well, it's just dumb. Yeah, yeah,
it's it's an odd thing for a sports league and
(29:10):
these girls that have worked so hard and and everything
their whole lives to to get into this being misled
that you're just being really stolen from now. Now, if
the NBA was going to be honest about it, they'd say,
you know, this is a loss for us, We should
probably probably let this go.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I don't know, I don't know.
I'm tired, and the world and your people don't understand commerce.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
And you're every player, but Caitlin Clark who's already rich enough.
She didn't have to work again all those other plays.
You're going to be in Europe playing for even a
smaller crowd for even less money. If this goes away, yeah,
I don't know. We'll see if they if they actually
do a workstopage and outwards. I mean it. It It
hurt major League Baseball, and and that was at a
time when baseball was really beloved, and it really really
(30:01):
damaged that sport.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, part of it resentment, but part of it, just
as I said yesterday about my baseball viewing, I just
fell out of the habit.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
And there's lots of entertainment options in the modern role,
lots of them more than ever. Right, we'll finished strong
next time.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Rosie o'donald said, every time she walks into a pub
in Ireland, people give her free drinks.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
She left out that it's from a bowl on the floor.
Didn't have my headphones on? What did I miss? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
So why didn't I notice this? Obviously? So I mentioned
earlier in the show. Elon is once again the world's
richest person. He briefly was dethroned by Paul Allen, who
had had a huge He gained one hundred billion dollars
in one day, because gain anybody's ever had in one
day in personal wealth and passed Elon. But Elon's back
(31:01):
on top again after yesterday.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
And why didn't I notice that this obviously happened. Tesla
stock skyrocketed on their earnings report. Why because this seventy
five hundred dollars EV mandate ended yesterday or day before whatever,
the end of September, and and people ran out like
crazy to buy Tesla's before it went away, and Tesla
(31:24):
stock just screamed up in the last month.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Why didn't I think of that. That's an obvious one.
It's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, But why would the stock go up? I mean
because it won't continue.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It works.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
People were anticipating what they anticipated. I guess, you know,
and then it will.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh it had gone up, I say, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
But because of that, Elon his net worth went up
so much. With Tesla stock back up to a crazy level,
he's now worth for the first time ever, we have
someone on planet Earth worth a half a trillion dollars.
He's a half a trillionaire five hundred billion dollars. Wow,
that's crazy money.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, yeah, I would like to have more money than
I have.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
I don't need that much money.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
How much would it change your life? Like my kids
ways say, what would you do if the will and
the lottery?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Dad?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
They like to play that game, I'd say pretty much
exactly what I'm doing now. I don't think i'd do
much different. Oh no, I would, Yeah, I would very different.
I would have I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I would have houses all my favorite places instead of
like staying in hotels and schlapping my stuff there and back.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I don't want to go in any and see that
that that eliminates that need for me. I don't want
to go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
See, I like I would pick four or five golf
mecchas and have homes there where I could bring my
friends and we would just stay at my super cool
house and go play golf and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Other than that, probably not much. Well, I'd fly private,
for sure.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
If you if I went anywhere, I would, yes, yeah,
And I'm hoping not to some of them that.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm a simple man with simple needs. I love the
fact that private jet into four or five homes.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I love the fact that Elon you know, he's not
like Jeff Bezos thinking, well, I need to get the
world's biggest yacht, even bigger than the the NBS has
to show how freaking cool I am Elon doesn't seem
to care about that stuff all. What he cares about
the most is saving the planet. He thinks climate change
is a big problem. That's why he started electric car company.
(33:30):
He also impregnating hotties and having fifteen kids from thirteen
different women. And he also thinks the only species that
can survive in the universe needs to be multiplanetary. That
there have probably been other species on in the world,
but they only lived in one planet, and eventually that
planet either gets ruined or dies on his own, so
that's the end of the species. So for humans to survive,
(33:53):
we need to be on more than one planet. He
believes that to his core, and that's what he's going
to spend his money on.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I would love to talk to him about that, just
because you know, my skeptical take is that anything truly
cataclysmic is unlikely to happen for so many years, there's
just too much chance for other things you haven't anticipated
to happen that there's no point in planning.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
For what's going to happen in three million years.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
So you think you should just go out and buy
the biggest, buy an even bigger yacht than Jeff Bezos has.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh yeah, and a wife with big boltons too. That
that is what Bezels did.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Popcorn, peanuts, pot final thoughts.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Got your final thoughts here?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah, I was from our conversation earlier. We were wondering
at big, big concert festivals do they not not like
you have a beer stand? Do you have a weed stand?
At concerts? Somebody should probably conte a guy with a.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Tray walking around, get a joint. Who needs a giant
who's not high enough? Get higher?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (34:58):

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh really yeah? Ice cream soft foods.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Just a heads up, Wow, we're out of time.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
My final thought very quickly whire. Brace is so freaking expensive.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Back to Joe, Oh yeah, too expensive. I don't believe me.
I've paid the bills.
Speaker 4 (35:32):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
