Speaker 1 (00:32):
From Studio C see signor the dimly lit.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Room due with them the bowels of the Armstrong Ngetty Communications.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Compound and hey y'all.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Friday headed into one of the final summer weekends before
school starts.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And today we're under the tulage of our general Manager
Trump puton net and Yahoo.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We're at pivot points in a couple of major conflicts
and or.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Volatile parts of the world. I'd saying, feels like it's
all going to turn.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Into something in both of those regions, both Europe and
the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I was just thinking myself as I walked in the studio.
I think, sometimes what I'm mostly interested lines up with
what I think listeners are probably interested in, but sometimes not.
And I and on this one, like, I don't have
any idea how into the whole Russia, Ukraine, y'all are
I'm that's to me. The most interesting thing today is
Trump going to stick with his punishing Russia through sanctions
(01:35):
because they didn't meet his deadline? Or is he gonna,
in my opinion, fall for another bogus delay and put
it off until the talks, and then the talks will
claim something and it'll get put off again. If that happens,
I'm gonna be highly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, boy, there are so it's like a hand of
cards with nothing but wild cards.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I think you know your Zelensky, I know what their
goals are and what they hope to achieve. But yeah,
that's an excellent set of questions. What is Putin trying
to accomplish other than just a slight delay, If anything,
Trump's actual attitude toward Putin and this whole deal at
this point also mysterious.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, because I was gonna say, if, if if Trump
is aligned where some of you are and some of
the magabases where not our circus, not our monkeys, we
don't need to be involved in this, well, then he
just should just say that out loud, you know, as
President of the United States and commander in chief. I
don't believe this is our war, So good luck to y'all.
(02:38):
But if he's acting like he needs the war to
end and he's angry with Putin and he's threatening him,
all this stuff and then he doesn't follow through it all.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I just think that's going to be the worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, And honestly, that first suggestion of what his attitude
might be I need to quibble with that because that
is underappreciate it, I think, particularly by casual geopolitics fans.
If Administration A makes solemn promises, even if Administration A
(03:12):
is run by I don't know, Senile Mummy for instance,
and the administration that's not a very charitable view Mummy
for instance. Anyway, uh, and then Administration B comes in
and immediately rescinds America's commitment to that promise. And there's
(03:33):
a caveat to this, but that will seriously impinge on
Administration b's ability to get international cooperation on any number
of topics, because every country on the world, around the
world is going to say, yeah, they're making this demand
or this promise, but they're gonna reset in a couple
(03:55):
of years. So no, we're not going to go along
with your plan. We can't afford to your too volatile.
And that is incredibly important. Here's my caveat. Sometimes administrations
do stuff so dumb you have to do that, but
you have to understand how serious a thing that is.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
When you do, why does Administration A, this fictional administration
A is being led.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Back totally from our imaginations. Perhaps I don't even know
this administration's second in command is dumber than a dog.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I don't know, It's all in our imaginy. Could go on.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, in this fictional scenario, administration A with a senile
mummy who regularly falls upstairs.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In the half with dog second in command?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yes, why is he getting credit for saying we'll stay
with you to the end, We're committed to the very end,
and we're not even going to give you bullets in
the beginning though, We'll just give you meals and blankets.
Why do you get what do you get credit for that?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Trump's given way more weaponry, like serious weaponry, than Biden
ever did. Biden's talk was better, but he didn't actually
do near as much. Well, most of the weaponry we've
given him is defensive at this point, I think for sure.
But Biden didn't give him offensive or I'm not given
I'm not giving Biden credit for anything, but I feel
like he gets credit for saying we're with you to
(05:13):
the end, even though they we weren't giving them anything
to do anything other than lose less slowly, right right, Yeah,
which frustrates me any who clearly won't Trump look like
a punk if he lets Putin kick the can down
the road? I mean, because it's clearly just a ploy
to avoid the sanctions that are supposed to kick in today. Yeah,
(05:34):
and Donald Jay has spoken to that. I have a
feeling he's ready for that in what SAE He's already
identified that as a Putin tactic. So we'll see, Well, is.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There a way around delaying the sanctions that doesn't make
you look like a punk?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
What would that be? God? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I could, I could cook up a hypothetical for you,
but is that I would be very very hesitant to
accept that sort of thing if I were in Trump's shoes, and.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I think he will be too.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I hope he's gonna want rock solid assurances or else
he will bring down various hammers of various sizes.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well, we'll play the clip later.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But so Trump originally said it's gonna be Putin, Zelensky
and me. Then Putin came out and said, yesterday's no Zelensky.
I'll meet with Trump, but I ain't meet with Zelensky.
Then Trump later in the day said, okay, just you
and me. Has letting Putin do way too much dictating
in my dictating the terms to me?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, now I heard it said then that Trump said, well,
I'll meet with you, but only if the plans are
laid to then.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's funny with So maybe that happened after I went
to bed, as maybe yours happened after mine. I don't know,
since it's changes on a moment by moment basis.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Anyway, we should speaking of which in the Middle East,
which I referenced, the Israeli cabinet in an overnight meeting
has said yeah, okay, let's go ahead and occupy at
least Gaza City.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There's a fair amount of controversy over that. But meanwhile,
across the border in Lebanon, and I know this is
kind of backstagey, but it's really important for a lot
of people. They don't follow Lebanon, Lebanon where Hesba lah is.
Picture this a political party that has an army. Okay,
not a good situation. Lebanon is saying, at least tentatively,
(07:23):
only the only the government gets to have an army
from here on out, and we're about to enforce it,
which could seriously rein in radical Islamism in that region,
particularly that sponsored by Iran, so could be a real
pivot point for there too.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I had stuff to say about all this. The reporting
on it is driving me nuts. But as usual, because
it's so bad, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this Holy Count's Friday. Aren't you excited?
Let's get the blender doll. We got to get dackeries
up in here. Friday August eighth, the year twenty twenty five,
were Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program. Okay,
(07:59):
let's begin, and then officially, according to the FCC rules
and regulations, here we go with the show starts at mark.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They're expecting it. Then you was coming.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
The market was down, but not as much as it
could have been. The Grand Experiment has begun. Tires the
like of which has not been seen for a century
now in place, and really we just wait and see.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
God experiment has begun.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And that's one hundred percent true. That is one hundred
percent true. The Grand Experiment has begun.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
According to that Star Wars character from the CANTEENA or
whatever that was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And everyone else with normal voices.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
About the tariff wars and does it solve your budget
problems and all the things that have been claimed. We
get to find out soon. Are we on shoring our
manufacturing might again? Yes, no we're not.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Occurred to me the other day, And I know this
is not exactly original thought and original thought, but why
does every everybody in space? Everybody have a British accent?
Always do they?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I not paid attention, But if I'm thinking about exception
of maybe the Guardians of the Galaxies, Star Wars, all
your space creatures except for like Luke Skywalker because Mark
Hamill probably couldn't pull off.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
A British accent, Everybody's got an English accent. I can't
even remember what I was watching the other day. Is
one of your Star Wars he spin offs or something
like that always an English accent?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
My guess would be it's a little what we were
talking about yesterday. For some reason, space exploration has been
treated as like different than the world. It's a sophisticated
area where we don't, you know, get into the normal
problems of human nature. And now that we're going to
start having a war on the moon with China that
we can watch on television for resources, like it's you know,
(09:55):
I don't know, like it's India in the eighteen hundred.
It's a war to decide who gets to control the country.
Maybe the English accents will go away, but just kind
of if it's.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You go to a foreign planet and the leader of
the planet doesn't speak like Alec Guinness, He's got like
a sick Asian acts thick Chinese accent.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You never run into that. It's always Englishman. That's a
good question. Now that I've pointed it out, it will
annoy you for the rest of your lives.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Joy, I'm Katy Perry. Let's got a.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Spash speaking astronauts exactly right. We should ask Katy Perry,
did you adopt an English accents while you were in
space for fourteen seconds or maybe eight seconds? Got Katie's
headlines on the way and that's the doctrine machine. What
are you making today? Let's the flavor that nothing.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Let's say we got strawberry banana right now.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh cool, that's a classic summertime combo. Yeah, that'll be
where it said.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
That'll be refreshing and the von koons, how do you
put it in a doctory rum?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Generally speaking, the room will help make me be less annoyed,
so that'll be cool too.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So all of that is on the way stay here.
You might find this interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Joe so I listened to music on Fridays on the
way to work, and I was watching the Billy Joel
interview on Bill Maher the other day, and Billy Joel
was there talking about songwriting. It's really interesting if you're
interested in Billy Joel or songwriting or anything about music.
But Bill Maher was talking to Billy Joel about writing
great songs and Billy I forget something about did you
(11:28):
achieve your goals? Blah blah bah, and Billy Joe so
I said, I never wrote a song as great as
Wichita Lineman, and he holds that up Wichita Lineman up
as like one of the greatest pop songs ever written,
which I would agree. And so I was listening to
various versions of that on a way to work today.
Ari E M's version cool in the Gang, Like everybody
in the world has covered Wichita Lineman. I mean in
(11:49):
the Gang, Yes, Sergio Mendez, all your big country artists
obviously but that is one of the greatest sets of
lyrics ever.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, it's funny. I had a music digression.
I was tempted Unleasha on everybody today. Maybe we'll get
to that later. It has to do with the critical
reaction to what is now considered a phenomenally great album
and the snide, superior, just pathetic, flexing music critics at
(12:21):
the time. And I have despised music critics since I
was like thirteen years old, which I know is weird,
and comparing the reaction at the time to the perception
of this piece of work now, and it just if
you listen to any critics of any art other than
to think that's interesting what he thinks and don't understand
(12:45):
that they're just that's just one person who generally speaking,
is a frustrated artist and just wants attention.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I just oh, I hate critics anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Critic, critic, sypolytic, hypocritics, that's what John Prime called critics.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well he was being generous.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead
story with Katy Green Katie.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Starting with ABC News Israeli security Cabinet. It proves Net
and Yahoo's plan to occupy Gaza City.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What does it mean. We'll talk about that in a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Well, And the coverage I was talking about that makes
me so angry is every news story I've seen about
this talks about UH flying in the face of a
world condemnation for the idea and protests in the street. Yeah,
but at least according to the polls I've seen, there
are very big protests in the street.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But the majority of the.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
People in Israel are on the side of Benjamin Yahoo
and as you can see in the vote his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So you're ignoring that, and the worldwide.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Condemnation from governments is government saying, hey, Israel, you need
to do what's best for us, right, and Israeli replies, now,
We're gonna do what's best for us, thank you, presenting
it as if Benjamin Netanyaho is going off on his
own completely to save his political career when his cabinet
majority voted for it and the majority of people in
his country won it.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
What come on now, yep From the Free Beacon, Chicago
is so jerrymandered its main airport is parking backlogged planes
in two different congressional districts.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Ha ha ha, I don't doubt it.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
From Reuters, Russia and India talk up quote strategic partnership
after Trump tariff hike.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh boy, that is the danger. India is a friend
of me.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It's a wobbler. It has been for decades and decades.
You don't want to drive them into the arms of
the Russians and the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You gotta be careful speaking of the Chinese.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
From Forbes, Dogs of War, China touts killer robot wolves.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I told you, I told you, I told you. Is
your response to kill a robot.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Wolves bullets out of their eyes and craping grenades.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Wow, China, Probably this lug. It's a flame thrower. You
don't want any of this is This is a terrible development.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
From the Washington Post, Pete Hegseth says Confederate memorial will
be returned to Arlington Cemetery.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
On which memorial assment either way? How is this such
a focus, folks? Noodle this through.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Embracing the Confederacy is not a good way to resist
the woke.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
No, and it's not the same as taking Thomas Jefferson's
name off your middle school.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
That's very different from The New York Times Uber's festering
sexual assault problem. Uber received a report of sexual assault
or sexual misconduct in the United States almost every eight
minutes on average, from the drivers, drivers and passengers both ways.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah wow, Oh so like assaulting a female driver probably.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, it could be a fellow, but most likely I
guess it was a drunk dude.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, coming on strong sun driving. Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
USA today w NBA sex toy incidents started by crypto
meme coin group.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Steady fines Eating French fries three times a week raises
diabetes risk by twenty three.
Speaker 4 (16:45):

like that, but three times a week is quite.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
A bit a lot of French fries. And we played
with U yesterday. But I like this one from the.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Babylon b Female Empire ejects plays for something he did
in her dream last night.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Wow, something the player did last week exactly. I don't
think that's a fair portrayal of one kind frankly.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Traffic's and stereotype.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
We will get to some of the news of the
day coming up there. Man, Like Joe said, there are
lots of stories and the grand experiment of worldwide traps
has begun, so we'll keep our eye on that.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Armstrong and Geddy, You're like a person.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Who says, you hear somebody's going to a movie Michael,
and you say, oh, wait till you find out the
main character dies at the end.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Would you do that for Michael? Dream's tension behind the scenes, folks,
real tension. Yes, Katie's not on.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yes, Katie, were you in class and did you ask
the teacher? Oh, I'm sorry you forgot to let us
turn in our homework.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Right, That was exactly what Michael did. So a lot
of listeners really look forward to every Friday. Yes, if
one of us forgets that we have to play clips
of the week, mostly me, and we get tremendous joy
of it. I don't know why, pathetic and idiotic. That's
why Ransom and I and Katy we get so much joy.
If Joe forgets Clips of the week, it's so much fun.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And then right before we come back, Michael says, are
you guys forgetting something. Missus Johnson, Now you forgot to
ask us.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
For our homework.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
I don't know why I did that this morning, because
for whatever reason, I had this tremendous amount of guilt
that if I don't tell them, something bad's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I had come for the record. I had completely forgotten
about it. I know, just a buzzer does not count.
That is an unauthorized buzzer.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But I'm just showing fun.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
We missed out on Hanson and I would have been
high five and listeners would have been texting.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It was the It made their day.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
It's been many years since I've gotten the beating one,
but I deserve it today.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Michael, you just raised your hand at the end of
a meeting, dude.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, and ask a question prolonging the meeting. That's what
Michael did.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well, let's not prolong Michael's agony. He's a fine fellow.
Let's take a fun look back at the week that well,

Speaker 1 (21:04):

opportunity to defect the de facto end the Trump presidency.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Not only are we gonna punch back, but we about to.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Beat you down.
Speaker 1 (21:17):

That's okay.

President Donald Trump very much standing by this decision to
fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Do you agree that the heir apparent to Maga is
Jade Vance?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, I think most likely.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, look out, something just came until the floor and an
object that just look like that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Get a player too, foxing buildos.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
All right, that's two words.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Jack won't say, clips.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Off, apologize for the naughty language. Should be relegated to
the One More Thing podcast. Maybe while you are asleep,
(22:19):
this happened and you don't know it. The Israeli government
late yesterday early today, depending on where you are approved
a plan to expand the war by taking control of Gaza,
a pivotal and risky decision. The New York Times says
that went against recommendations of the Israeli military.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
The subheadline from everybody is.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
It stopped short of a full takeover of Gaza city. Okay, well,
how does that fit in with what was actually approved?
The cabinet approved five principles for ending the war, disarming Hamas,
the return of all fifty hostages, twenty of whom are
thought to be alive, the demilitarization of all of Gaza,
(23:04):
is Raeli security control over the enclave, and the establishment
of an alternative civilian administration. How are those five objectives
going to be met without a full takeover of Gaza?
But I guess that allows net Nyabu the wiggle room
by saying we're not going to fully take it over, We're.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Just going to accomplish those five goals.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
And given the context of everything that's happened, I think
all five of those goals are perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So the hostages will.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Not all come back, unfortunately, but no, yeah, that's that's
perfectly reasonable. And the idea is they will they're not
going to plan to hold onto Gaza indefinitely. They will
just clean house then transfer control of the territory to
quote Arab forces that will govern it properly. And how
long will this no sence Islamis lunatics.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
According to The New York Times, it is likely to
take the military days at least to call up reserve forces,
carry out troop deployments for a push into Gaza City,
and allow time for the force to vacuus of tens
of thousands of Palestinians from new areas of combat.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So uh oh, this is my favorite part.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Some analysts have said that the plan for the new
offensive maybe a threat to compel Hamas to offer concessions
in a stalled ceasefire negotiation.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, I think all of war is.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That it's an attempt to compel the other side to
agree to your terms.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, that is what is. It's what you're doing in
a war to a better settlement. Yes, that's some excellent analysis.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
H huh.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
And they go on to say that talks to achieve
a ceasefire and the release of hostages hit an impass with.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Here's my favorite part.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Actually, this is my favorite favorite part with the Israelian
Hamas officials blaming each other. Nice job, New York Times
to make it seem like it's just a fifty to
fifty Who are you gonna blame? Both Israel and Hamas
have got complaints about the ceasefire. Give me a freaking break,
Are you kidding? One side wants the other side to
(24:59):
be The other side says if you stop saying that
will quit.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Right or, as.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Mike Watson wrote in The Free Beacon recently, that this
latest round of talks will not produce much of value
because it does not take seriously the aspirations of the
people residing in the West Bank and Gaza. The only
state they get they can get is one they don't want,
so the bloodshed shed will continue. They want to remove
(25:27):
Israel from the map. Those who are in power now
I'm ever gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I think this is interesting, if accurately reported by all
your major news sources, which almost entirely are against Israel.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So you have to keep that in mind. With all
the reporting.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
That the military was arguing against this. The current chief
of the military that was put in by net and
Yahoo shared his concerns about the exhaustion and fitness of
reservists because they've been fighting this for quite a while.
And about the military becoming responsible for governing millions of Palestinians.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I could see how you'd run the military.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You'd think, man, we are going to be in a
hostile area for a long time with everybody wanting to
kill us.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
So yeah, there's that's absolutely legitimate, and that's a hell
of a challenge. But again, the analysis from the mainstream
media to me is idiotic because it overlooks some absolutely
fundamental facts, including this again quoting from the Gent and
the Free beeakon a quick comparison to the dueling national
(26:33):
movements shows why this stuff won't work. David Bengurian and
the Zionists were willing to accept nearly any agreement that
offered them a state because they prioritized having one even
before the British left. They built the institutions needed to
govern Isurreel and defend it from Arab attacks. The Jews
made their state, they didn't demand someone else to hand
it to them. Rather than build a state, the Palestinian
(26:54):
Arabs based their national identity on resistance to Zionism. Accordingly,
they have readjected every offer to settle their dispute with
the Jews, and he goes into the history of it,
several great opportunities for a solid Palestinian state that permitted
Israel to resist, and every single time, at the very end,
(27:17):
the governing authority said, Nope, We're going to.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Keep fighting the Jews. Another hilarious thing.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
The New York Times reported on the latest development, the
military leadership would prefer a new cease fire instead of
ramping up fighting. Yeah, I'm sure they would, But how
are you going to get that to happen when your
opponent still wants you dead and has not even pretended
that they don't want you to They can't even bring
themselves to pretend that they don't want to kill you. Right,
(27:45):
Maybe the most important part of this is Trump, in
a statement yesterday, said it's really up to Israel what
they do. So instead of a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, don't,
what do you say to Israel's attempt to go into Rafa?
Remember they asked Kamala Harris during the election, don't. So
(28:08):
they told Israel don't on all these and Trump said.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
No, it's up to them.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
On a basically go in and take over Gaza, So
that gives them quite a bit of cover the fact
that there's international condemnation. There's always international condemnation of Israel
over everything they do, because much of the world hates Israel.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Or I would, you know, to be a little more specific,
I think they've been steeped in the postmodern mania that
so much of the you know, college educated elite in
the US have. It's this phenomenon is not restricted to
the US, sort of pointing out in fact, like the
ideological father of it was the Frenchman. So yeah, they're
(28:52):
all steeped in this settler colonial thing. Plus, as I
said earlier, the Macrones of the world, for instance, And
and what's his face? The new guy in Canada who
would have been the conservative if Trump hadn't threatened to
annex Canada over and over again.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But what are you gonna do anyway?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What they are saying to Israel is, hey, you got
to do what's best for me, because I've got my
radical college students in my left. He's going crazy over here,
so please come to a peace settlement. Israel says, well,
it would be a fake peace settlement and it would
just enable.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
A moster re armed. Well, we don't care.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We got protests in our streets, responds Macrone.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
So again the total headline, Israeli Security Cabinet approves plan
to take control of Gaza City. It was a majority
win for the side that wants to go in. And
it's not just netn Yahoo trying to hold on to
government or the way it's being portrayed on CNN or wherever.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, I just have not heard anybody make a counter
case and steal man their arguments as they say about
what is the altar hernative that ensures Israeli security?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
They always just kind of blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You know, international force or an agreement or a treaty
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
But it's got to at least like half take shape. Well,
for that's an alternative.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
An idea is not reason enough for the Israelis to reach.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
A ceasefire, even some of the families of the hostages,
and god, what a horrible situation to be in. And
how dare I criticize them? But when you're when you're saying, no,
don't go in militarily, we need the hostages back, how
do you think that's going to occur?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Right? We will never be given back.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
What indication do you have that there's a way to
get Hamas to give you your your loved one back alive.
Why would the all of a sudden do that, right,
I'm mystified by that, the protests in the street, What
do you what is your plan? You think if they think,
I guess they think if Israel pulls their forces out
(30:58):
of Gaza, Hamas give the hostages back and.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Things would go back to people and grief.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Stricken, which is a really difficult position to bargain from.
And again I have great sympathy for them. It's unthinkable. Yeah,
pretty awful. We've got mail bag on the way, a
lot more news of the day stay here.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
So we had a clip Greg Gutfeld in Clips of
the Week, and I think it's interesting that on the
most watched late night show in America, which great Gutfeld
often is, he routinely makes jokes that Michelle Obama is
a man. That's like a staple of his jokes that
(31:43):
a former popular president's wife is a dude.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I just can't believe that's happening. Do you want to
talk about that or well, we're really running late. All right,
here's your freedom.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Love me quote.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I discovered another speech by Harvey here at Melay the
Savior of Argentina, and I love it. The state, first
and foremost is a thief that spends on itself, the
political cast, and not only by explicit taxes literally a
form of theft, but also by a hidden tax that
destroys the economy, the inflation tax.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's good stuff, good stuff. I'd like to go.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Into my screen about why inflation is a tax. I
have been before, I have before. It is absolutely theft
from your pockets. Mailbag who Rose Notoe? Mailbag at Armstrong

I know each day is a challenge and appreciation should
be noted. To listen to your show for a few
(32:47):
years now. Notice that your partner in crime, Joe, does
not show much compassion for your success in recovery. What
even if he doesn't understand what many of us go through,
he should at least try.

need to publicly cheerlead.

I also wouldn't say it's a challenge every day. I mean,
there are things I do every day, but I haven't
had the slightest desire for a drink in eighteen and
a half years.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
They're just not even.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
A thing, which is awesome if it's good for you
in your life, I'm in favor of it for the record,
all right, Moving along, Megan, beautiful Hermo, sub Beach, California,
listening Monday, when you mentioned testing out new cameras in
the studio to eventually air the show in video format
in some form, we will let me just say, I'm
(33:45):
really hoping this becomes a reality and soon. Why I
think it's safe to say that actually seeing Jack spill
his coffee not once, but twice in the span of
five minutes comedy Gold and in seeing him frantically mop
up himself and his Nazi jeans, this needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Thank you, Megan.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I'm wearing the full what's your Name outfit today, the
dnim shirt and the Nazi jeans, dressed just like her,
although I don't look like her.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Tennessee tuxedo, looking good very sharp lee right.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Oh, this is another California related email. I was passing
through the capital of Sacramento today with my four young kids.
Went to a playground where I immediately noticed several bums
and junkies laying on the ground all around the bathroom building.
This is a couple of miles or maybe less than
a mile from the Capitol of California. Were Gavin Newsom
rules with an iron fist. There was also one in
(34:39):
the distance having a foul, heated argument with the air.
Super awesome for my kids to hear that. Anyway, my
sweet sensitive eight year old son had to go to
the bathroom. I'd already seen bums and junkies in and
out of the bathroom. It was not about to let
him go in there. She had him duck into the bushes,
and some dads saw that and started bellowing from the
basketball courts.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You know, the there's a bathroom right there, right.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Oh my god, So you, as a grown man, you're
concerned about a little kid peeing in the bushes, but
you're okay with the drug addict laying over there.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
And she wanted to say, I agree, it's not ideal.
He didn't want to, but I'm not going to send
him into a bathroom with potentially dangerous, mentally ill individuals,
drug addicts, needles, et cetera. You want to holler at
people for being in decent around children, how about you
direct your disgust at to the actual perpetrators, not my
eight year old, no kidding, Armstrong and Geddy

From Studio C see signor the dimly lit.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Room due with them the bowels of the Armstrong Ngetty Communications.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Compound and hey y'all.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Friday headed into one of the final summer weekends before
school starts.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And today we're under the tulage of our general Manager
Trump puton net and Yahoo.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We're at pivot points in a couple of major conflicts
and or.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Volatile parts of the world. I'd saying, feels like it's
all going to turn.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Into something in both of those regions, both Europe and
the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I was just thinking myself as I walked in the studio.
I think, sometimes what I'm mostly interested lines up with
what I think listeners are probably interested in, but sometimes not.
And I and on this one, like, I don't have
any idea how into the whole Russia, Ukraine, y'all are
I'm that's to me. The most interesting thing today is
Trump going to stick with his punishing Russia through sanctions
(01:35):
because they didn't meet his deadline? Or is he gonna,
in my opinion, fall for another bogus delay and put
it off until the talks, and then the talks will
claim something and it'll get put off again. If that happens,
I'm gonna be highly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, boy, there are so it's like a hand of
cards with nothing but wild cards.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I think you know your Zelensky, I know what their
goals are and what they hope to achieve. But yeah,
that's an excellent set of questions. What is Putin trying
to accomplish other than just a slight delay, If anything,
Trump's actual attitude toward Putin and this whole deal at
this point also mysterious.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, because I was gonna say, if, if if Trump
is aligned where some of you are and some of
the magabases where not our circus, not our monkeys, we
don't need to be involved in this, well, then he
just should just say that out loud, you know, as
President of the United States and commander in chief. I
don't believe this is our war, So good luck to y'all.
(02:38):
But if he's acting like he needs the war to
end and he's angry with Putin and he's threatening him,
all this stuff and then he doesn't follow through it all.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I just think that's going to be the worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, And honestly, that first suggestion of what his attitude
might be I need to quibble with that because that
is underappreciate it, I think, particularly by casual geopolitics fans.
If Administration A makes solemn promises, even if Administration A
(03:12):
is run by I don't know, Senile Mummy for instance,
and the administration that's not a very charitable view Mummy
for instance. Anyway, uh, and then Administration B comes in
and immediately rescinds America's commitment to that promise. And there's
(03:33):
a caveat to this, but that will seriously impinge on
Administration b's ability to get international cooperation on any number
of topics, because every country on the world, around the
world is going to say, yeah, they're making this demand
or this promise, but they're gonna reset in a couple
(03:55):
of years. So no, we're not going to go along
with your plan. We can't afford to your too volatile.
And that is incredibly important. Here's my caveat. Sometimes administrations
do stuff so dumb you have to do that, but
you have to understand how serious a thing that is.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
When you do, why does Administration A, this fictional administration
A is being led.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Back totally from our imaginations. Perhaps I don't even know
this administration's second in command is dumber than a dog.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I don't know, It's all in our imaginy. Could go on.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, in this fictional scenario, administration A with a senile
mummy who regularly falls upstairs.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In the half with dog second in command?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yes, why is he getting credit for saying we'll stay
with you to the end, We're committed to the very end,
and we're not even going to give you bullets in
the beginning though, We'll just give you meals and blankets.
Why do you get what do you get credit for that?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Trump's given way more weaponry, like serious weaponry, than Biden
ever did. Biden's talk was better, but he didn't actually
do near as much. Well, most of the weaponry we've
given him is defensive at this point, I think for sure.
But Biden didn't give him offensive or I'm not given
I'm not giving Biden credit for anything, but I feel
like he gets credit for saying we're with you to
(05:13):
the end, even though they we weren't giving them anything
to do anything other than lose less slowly, right right, Yeah,
which frustrates me any who clearly won't Trump look like
a punk if he lets Putin kick the can down
the road? I mean, because it's clearly just a ploy
to avoid the sanctions that are supposed to kick in today. Yeah,
(05:34):
and Donald Jay has spoken to that. I have a
feeling he's ready for that in what SAE He's already
identified that as a Putin tactic. So we'll see, Well, is.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There a way around delaying the sanctions that doesn't make
you look like a punk?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
What would that be? God? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I could, I could cook up a hypothetical for you,
but is that I would be very very hesitant to
accept that sort of thing if I were in Trump's shoes, and.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I think he will be too.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I hope he's gonna want rock solid assurances or else
he will bring down various hammers of various sizes.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Well, we'll play the clip later.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But so Trump originally said it's gonna be Putin, Zelensky
and me. Then Putin came out and said, yesterday's no Zelensky.
I'll meet with Trump, but I ain't meet with Zelensky.
Then Trump later in the day said, okay, just you
and me. Has letting Putin do way too much dictating
in my dictating the terms to me?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well, now I heard it said then that Trump said, well,
I'll meet with you, but only if the plans are
laid to then.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
That's funny with So maybe that happened after I went
to bed, as maybe yours happened after mine. I don't know,
since it's changes on a moment by moment basis.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Anyway, we should speaking of which in the Middle East,
which I referenced, the Israeli cabinet in an overnight meeting
has said yeah, okay, let's go ahead and occupy at
least Gaza City.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
There's a fair amount of controversy over that. But meanwhile,
across the border in Lebanon, and I know this is
kind of backstagey, but it's really important for a lot
of people. They don't follow Lebanon, Lebanon where Hesba lah is.
Picture this a political party that has an army. Okay,
not a good situation. Lebanon is saying, at least tentatively,
(07:23):
only the only the government gets to have an army
from here on out, and we're about to enforce it,
which could seriously rein in radical Islamism in that region,
particularly that sponsored by Iran, so could be a real
pivot point for there too.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I had stuff to say about all this. The reporting
on it is driving me nuts. But as usual, because
it's so bad, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong,
He's Joe Getty on this Holy Count's Friday. Aren't you excited?
Let's get the blender doll. We got to get dackeries
up in here. Friday August eighth, the year twenty twenty five,
were Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program. Okay,
(07:59):
let's begin, and then officially, according to the FCC rules
and regulations, here we go with the show starts at mark.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They're expecting it. Then you was coming.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
The market was down, but not as much as it
could have been. The Grand Experiment has begun. Tires the
like of which has not been seen for a century
now in place, and really we just wait and see.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
God experiment has begun.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And that's one hundred percent true. That is one hundred
percent true. The Grand Experiment has begun.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
According to that Star Wars character from the CANTEENA or
whatever that was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And everyone else with normal voices.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
About the tariff wars and does it solve your budget
problems and all the things that have been claimed. We
get to find out soon. Are we on shoring our
manufacturing might again? Yes, no we're not.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Probably not.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Occurred to me the other day, And I know this
is not exactly original thought and original thought, but why
does every everybody in space? Everybody have a British accent?
Always do they?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I not paid attention, But if I'm thinking about exception
of maybe the Guardians of the Galaxies, Star Wars, all
your space creatures except for like Luke Skywalker because Mark
Hamill probably couldn't pull off.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
A British accent, Everybody's got an English accent. I can't
even remember what I was watching the other day. Is
one of your Star Wars he spin offs or something
like that always an English accent?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
My guess would be it's a little what we were
talking about yesterday. For some reason, space exploration has been
treated as like different than the world. It's a sophisticated
area where we don't, you know, get into the normal
problems of human nature. And now that we're going to
start having a war on the moon with China that
we can watch on television for resources, like it's you know,
(09:55):
I don't know, like it's India in the eighteen hundred.
It's a war to decide who gets to control the country.
Maybe the English accents will go away, but just kind
of if it's.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Right.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You go to a foreign planet and the leader of
the planet doesn't speak like Alec Guinness, He's got like
a sick Asian acts thick Chinese accent.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You never run into that. It's always Englishman. That's a
good question. Now that I've pointed it out, it will
annoy you for the rest of your lives.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Joy, I'm Katy Perry. Let's got a.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Spash speaking astronauts exactly right. We should ask Katy Perry,
did you adopt an English accents while you were in
space for fourteen seconds or maybe eight seconds? Got Katie's
headlines on the way and that's the doctrine machine. What
are you making today? Let's the flavor that nothing.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Let's say we got strawberry banana right now.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh cool, that's a classic summertime combo. Yeah, that'll be
where it said.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
That'll be refreshing and the von koons, how do you
put it in a doctory rum?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Generally speaking, the room will help make me be less annoyed,
so that'll be cool too.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So all of that is on the way stay here.
You might find this interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Joe so I listened to music on Fridays on the
way to work, and I was watching the Billy Joel
interview on Bill Maher the other day, and Billy Joel
was there talking about songwriting. It's really interesting if you're
interested in Billy Joel or songwriting or anything about music.
But Bill Maher was talking to Billy Joel about writing
great songs and Billy I forget something about did you
(11:28):
achieve your goals? Blah blah bah, and Billy Joe so
I said, I never wrote a song as great as
Wichita Lineman, and he holds that up Wichita Lineman up
as like one of the greatest pop songs ever written,
which I would agree. And so I was listening to
various versions of that on a way to work today.
Ari E M's version cool in the Gang, Like everybody
in the world has covered Wichita Lineman. I mean in
(11:49):
the Gang, Yes, Sergio Mendez, all your big country artists
obviously but that is one of the greatest sets of
lyrics ever.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, it's funny. I had a music digression.
I was tempted Unleasha on everybody today. Maybe we'll get
to that later. It has to do with the critical
reaction to what is now considered a phenomenally great album
and the snide, superior, just pathetic, flexing music critics at
(12:21):
the time. And I have despised music critics since I
was like thirteen years old, which I know is weird,
and comparing the reaction at the time to the perception
of this piece of work now, and it just if
you listen to any critics of any art other than
to think that's interesting what he thinks and don't understand
(12:45):
that they're just that's just one person who generally speaking,
is a frustrated artist and just wants attention.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I just oh, I hate critics anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Critic, critic, sypolytic, hypocritics, that's what John Prime called critics.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well he was being generous.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead
story with Katy Green Katie.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Starting with ABC News Israeli security Cabinet. It proves Net
and Yahoo's plan to occupy Gaza City.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
What does it mean. We'll talk about that in a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Well, And the coverage I was talking about that makes
me so angry is every news story I've seen about
this talks about UH flying in the face of a
world condemnation for the idea and protests in the street. Yeah,
but at least according to the polls I've seen, there
are very big protests in the street.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But the majority of the.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
People in Israel are on the side of Benjamin Yahoo
and as you can see in the vote his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So you're ignoring that, and the worldwide.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Condemnation from governments is government saying, hey, Israel, you need
to do what's best for us, right, and Israeli replies, now,
We're gonna do what's best for us, thank you, presenting
it as if Benjamin Netanyaho is going off on his
own completely to save his political career when his cabinet
majority voted for it and the majority of people in
his country won it.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
What come on now, yep From the Free Beacon, Chicago
is so jerrymandered its main airport is parking backlogged planes
in two different congressional districts.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Ha ha ha, I don't doubt it.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
From Reuters, Russia and India talk up quote strategic partnership
after Trump tariff hike.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Oh boy, that is the danger. India is a friend
of me.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
It's a wobbler. It has been for decades and decades.
You don't want to drive them into the arms of
the Russians and the Chinese.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You gotta be careful speaking of the Chinese.

minutes on average, from the drivers, drivers and passengers both ways.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah wow, Oh so like assaulting a female driver probably.
Speaker 3 (16:07):

guess it was a drunk dude.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, coming on strong sun driving. Yeah, it's terrible.

We will get to some of the news of the

main character dies at the end.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Would you do that for Michael? Dream's tension behind the scenes, folks,
real tension. Yes, Katie's not on.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yes, Katie, were you in class and did you ask
the teacher? Oh, I'm sorry you forgot to let us
turn in our homework.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Right, That was exactly what Michael did. So a lot
of listeners really look forward to every Friday. Yes, if
one of us forgets that we have to play clips
of the week, mostly me, and we get tremendous joy
of it. I don't know why, pathetic and idiotic. That's
why Ransom and I and Katy we get so much joy.
If Joe forgets Clips of the week, it's so much fun.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And then right before we come back, Michael says, are
you guys forgetting something. Missus Johnson, Now you forgot to
ask us.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
For our homework.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
I don't know why I did that this morning, because
for whatever reason, I had this tremendous amount of guilt
that if I don't tell them, something bad's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I had come for the record. I had completely forgotten
about it. I know, just a buzzer does not count.
That is an unauthorized buzzer.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
But I'm just showing fun.

It's been many years since I've gotten the beating one,
but I deserve it today.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Michael, you just raised your hand at the end of
a meeting, dude.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, and ask a question prolonging the meeting. That's what
Michael did.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well, let's not prolong Michael's agony. He's a fine fellow.
Let's take a fun look back at the week that well,
it's cow Clips of the week. This here is your
range fed us d a prime cow.
Speaker 2 (19:12):

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Beat you down.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's so I'd say to the Republicans, you're fighting fire
with fire.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
President Donald Trump very much standing by this decision to
fire the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Do you agree that the heir apparent to Maga is
Jade Vance?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Well, I think most likely.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, look out, something just came until the floor and an
object that just look like that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Get a player too, foxing buildos.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
All right, that's two words.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Jack won't say, clips.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Off, apologize for the naughty language. Should be relegated to
the One More Thing podcast. Maybe while you are asleep,
(22:19):
this happened and you don't know it. The Israeli government
late yesterday early today, depending on where you are approved
a plan to expand the war by taking control of Gaza,
a pivotal and risky decision. The New York Times says
that went against recommendations of the Israeli military.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
The subheadline from everybody is.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
It stopped short of a full takeover of Gaza city. Okay, well,
how does that fit in with what was actually approved?
The cabinet approved five principles for ending the war, disarming Hamas,
the return of all fifty hostages, twenty of whom are
thought to be alive, the demilitarization of all of Gaza,
(23:04):
is Raeli security control over the enclave, and the establishment
of an alternative civilian administration. How are those five objectives
going to be met without a full takeover of Gaza?
But I guess that allows net Nyabu the wiggle room
by saying we're not going to fully take it over, We're.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Just going to accomplish those five goals.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
And given the context of everything that's happened, I think
all five of those goals are perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So the hostages will.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Not all come back, unfortunately, but no, yeah, that's that's
perfectly reasonable. And the idea is they will they're not
going to plan to hold onto Gaza indefinitely. They will
just clean house then transfer control of the territory to
quote Arab forces that will govern it properly. And how
long will this no sence Islamis lunatics.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
According to The New York Times, it is likely to
take the military days at least to call up reserve forces,
carry out troop deployments for a push into Gaza City,
and allow time for the force to vacuus of tens
of thousands of Palestinians from new areas of combat.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So uh oh, this is my favorite part.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Some analysts have said that the plan for the new
offensive maybe a threat to compel Hamas to offer concessions
in a stalled ceasefire negotiation.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah, I think all of war is.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
That it's an attempt to compel the other side to
agree to your terms.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, that is what is. It's what you're doing in
a war to a better settlement. Yes, that's some excellent analysis.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
H huh.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
And they go on to say that talks to achieve
a ceasefire and the release of hostages hit an impass with.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Here's my favorite part.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Actually, this is my favorite favorite part with the Israelian
Hamas officials blaming each other. Nice job, New York Times
to make it seem like it's just a fifty to
fifty Who are you gonna blame? Both Israel and Hamas
have got complaints about the ceasefire. Give me a freaking break,
Are you kidding? One side wants the other side to
(24:59):
be The other side says if you stop saying that
will quit.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Right or, as.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Mike Watson wrote in The Free Beacon recently, that this
latest round of talks will not produce much of value
because it does not take seriously the aspirations of the
people residing in the West Bank and Gaza. The only
state they get they can get is one they don't want,
so the bloodshed shed will continue. They want to remove
(25:27):
Israel from the map. Those who are in power now
I'm ever gonna get that.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I think this is interesting, if accurately reported by all
your major news sources, which almost entirely are against Israel.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So you have to keep that in mind. With all
the reporting.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
That the military was arguing against this. The current chief
of the military that was put in by net and
Yahoo shared his concerns about the exhaustion and fitness of
reservists because they've been fighting this for quite a while.
And about the military becoming responsible for governing millions of Palestinians.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I could see how you'd run the military.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You'd think, man, we are going to be in a
hostile area for a long time with everybody wanting to
kill us.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
So yeah, there's that's absolutely legitimate, and that's a hell
of a challenge. But again, the analysis from the mainstream
media to me is idiotic because it overlooks some absolutely
fundamental facts, including this again quoting from the Gent and
the Free beeakon a quick comparison to the dueling national
(26:33):
movements shows why this stuff won't work. David Bengurian and
the Zionists were willing to accept nearly any agreement that
offered them a state because they prioritized having one even
before the British left. They built the institutions needed to
govern Isurreel and defend it from Arab attacks. The Jews
made their state, they didn't demand someone else to hand
it to them. Rather than build a state, the Palestinian
(26:54):
Arabs based their national identity on resistance to Zionism. Accordingly,
they have readjected every offer to settle their dispute with
the Jews, and he goes into the history of it,
several great opportunities for a solid Palestinian state that permitted
Israel to resist, and every single time, at the very end,
(27:17):
the governing authority said, Nope, We're going to.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Keep fighting the Jews. Another hilarious thing.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
The New York Times reported on the latest development, the
military leadership would prefer a new cease fire instead of
ramping up fighting. Yeah, I'm sure they would, But how
are you going to get that to happen when your
opponent still wants you dead and has not even pretended
that they don't want you to They can't even bring
themselves to pretend that they don't want to kill you. Right,
(27:45):
Maybe the most important part of this is Trump, in
a statement yesterday, said it's really up to Israel what
they do. So instead of a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, don't,
what do you say to Israel's attempt to go into Rafa?
Remember they asked Kamala Harris during the election, don't. So
(28:08):
they told Israel don't on all these and Trump said.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
No, it's up to them.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
On a basically go in and take over Gaza, So
that gives them quite a bit of cover the fact
that there's international condemnation. There's always international condemnation of Israel
over everything they do, because much of the world hates Israel.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Right right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Or I would, you know, to be a little more specific,
I think they've been steeped in the postmodern mania that
so much of the you know, college educated elite in
the US have. It's this phenomenon is not restricted to
the US, sort of pointing out in fact, like the
ideological father of it was the Frenchman. So yeah, they're
(28:52):
all steeped in this settler colonial thing. Plus, as I
said earlier, the Macrones of the world, for instance, And
and what's his face? The new guy in Canada who
would have been the conservative if Trump hadn't threatened to
annex Canada over and over again.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But what are you gonna do anyway?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
What they are saying to Israel is, hey, you got
to do what's best for me, because I've got my
radical college students in my left. He's going crazy over here,
so please come to a peace settlement. Israel says, well,
it would be a fake peace settlement and it would
just enable.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
A moster re armed. Well, we don't care.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We got protests in our streets, responds Macrone.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
So again the total headline, Israeli Security Cabinet approves plan
to take control of Gaza City. It was a majority
win for the side that wants to go in. And
it's not just netn Yahoo trying to hold on to
government or the way it's being portrayed on CNN or wherever.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, I just have not heard anybody make a counter
case and steal man their arguments as they say about
what is the altar hernative that ensures Israeli security?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
They always just kind of blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You know, international force or an agreement or a treaty
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
But it's got to at least like half take shape. Well,
for that's an alternative.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
An idea is not reason enough for the Israelis to reach.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
A ceasefire, even some of the families of the hostages,
and god, what a horrible situation to be in. And
how dare I criticize them? But when you're when you're saying, no,
don't go in militarily, we need the hostages back, how
do you think that's going to occur?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Right? We will never be given back.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
What indication do you have that there's a way to
get Hamas to give you your your loved one back alive.
Why would the all of a sudden do that, right,
I'm mystified by that, the protests in the street, What
do you what is your plan? You think if they think,
I guess they think if Israel pulls their forces out
(30:58):
of Gaza, Hamas give the hostages back and.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Things would go back to people and grief.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Stricken, which is a really difficult position to bargain from.
And again I have great sympathy for them. It's unthinkable. Yeah,
pretty awful. We've got mail bag on the way, a
lot more news of the day stay here.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
So we had a clip Greg Gutfeld in Clips of
the Week, and I think it's interesting that on the
most watched late night show in America, which great Gutfeld
often is, he routinely makes jokes that Michelle Obama is
a man. That's like a staple of his jokes that
(31:43):
a former popular president's wife is a dude.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I just can't believe that's happening. Do you want to
talk about that or well, we're really running late. All right,
here's your freedom.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Love me quote.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I discovered another speech by Harvey here at Melay the
Savior of Argentina, and I love it. The state, first
and foremost is a thief that spends on itself, the
political cast, and not only by explicit taxes literally a
form of theft, but also by a hidden tax that
destroys the economy, the inflation tax.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's good stuff, good stuff. I'd like to go.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Into my screen about why inflation is a tax. I
have been before, I have before. It is absolutely theft
from your pockets. Mailbag who Rose Notoe? Mailbag at Armstrong

had the slightest desire for a drink in eighteen and

They're just not even.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
A thing, which is awesome if it's good for you
in your life, I'm in favor of it for the record,
all right, Moving along, Megan, beautiful Hermo, sub Beach, California,
listening Monday, when you mentioned testing out new cameras in
the studio to eventually air the show in video format
in some form, we will let me just say, I'm
(33:45):
really hoping this becomes a reality and soon. Why I
think it's safe to say that actually seeing Jack spill
his coffee not once, but twice in the span of
five minutes comedy Gold and in seeing him frantically mop
up himself and his Nazi jeans, this needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Thank you, Megan.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
I'm wearing the full what's your Name outfit today, the
dnim shirt and the Nazi jeans, dressed just like her,
although I don't look like her.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Tennessee tuxedo, looking good very sharp lee right.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Oh, this is another California related email. I was passing
through the capital of Sacramento today with my four young kids.
Went to a playground where I immediately noticed several bums
and junkies laying on the ground all around the bathroom building.
This is a couple of miles or maybe less than
a mile from the Capitol of California. Were Gavin Newsom
rules with an iron fist. There was also one in
(34:39):
the distance having a foul, heated argument with the air.
Super awesome for my kids to hear that. Anyway, my
sweet sensitive eight year old son had to go to
the bathroom. I'd already seen bums and junkies in and
out of the bathroom. It was not about to let
him go in there. She had him duck into the bushes,
and some dads saw that and started bellowing from the
basketball courts.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
You know, the there's a bathroom right there, right.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Oh my god, So you, as a grown man, you're
concerned about a little kid peeing in the bushes, but
you're okay with the drug addict laying over there.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
And she wanted to say, I agree, it's not ideal.
He didn't want to, but I'm not going to send
him into a bathroom with potentially dangerous, mentally ill individuals,
drug addicts, needles, et cetera. You want to holler at
people for being in decent around children, how about you
direct your disgust at to the actual perpetrators, not my
eight year old, no kidding, Armstrong and Geddy
