Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jette and he arms range.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh man, I was just about to buy a bathroom vanity.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Why I'm from studio see a four and one huh
se Senior timly Litt room deep with from the bowels
of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
It's Friday, and under the tutelage of our general manager James,
call me convict, well defended, well, inditey.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And if you indict the proverbial ham sandwich along with
commy swiss and some nice spicy.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Mustard on mine. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You're referencing an old saying that is what you can
indict a ham sandwich? And where does that? Why is
that saying exist? I've heard that my whole life. Well,
an indictment is has no has few of the elements
of a trial. All you have is the prosecution trying
to give the grand jury enough evidence to say, you know,
we want to hold a trial and see if this
(01:29):
guy might be guilty. And then the grand jury says, yeah,
go ahead if you want, and then the defense gets
geared up and says, no, these charges are garbage, and
then you have an actual trial, so the defense does
not testify at a grand jury indictment. By hearing, sounds
like a certain Joe Getty is standing up for the
lanky law man James Commy and I wish I'll ry
(01:51):
had one. Yes, that's correct. No, it's this kind of
case is kind of difficult to prove. Let me tell you,
as we'll hear from various experts. Yes, before you get
into anything, let me tell you. Let me tell you
the landscape for people who don't take in lots of media.
I've taken in lots of different media today, pretty much
everybody but Fox is treating this as one of the
biggest things, if not the single biggest thing Trump.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Has ever done as president either term. I mean, they're
full on hair on fire.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This is where it's crossed the line. This is the
end of our democracy. Oh by big, you mean like horrifying.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes, yes, this is the This is the biggest thing
that has happened ever with Trump. According to like MSNBC
that we're into completely new territory here, blah blah blah.
I will say this I'm not a lawyer. I don't
know much about this, but I will say this. Fox
(02:50):
had it in their second segment of their first hour
today on Fox and Friends. They didn't get around to it.
The first segment, they talked about legs.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They talked about how yes exactly, they talked about how
Trump was going to be at the Right Cup golf
tournament today and walk with the players and how cool
that was, and a couple other things. But they changes everything.
They did not get around to the lanky lawman. So
I feel like if Fox thought this was a really
good story for Trump, they would have not waited to
(03:18):
the second segment to get it. Oh that's that's a
good point. Yeah, yeah, here's my reaction. Call me lies
like a rug.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So many questions standing in the woods looking up, so
many questions.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So many lies, so many distortions, so many leaks. This.
I will also say this, this prosecution is a stretch,
and some of Trump's own people in the past have said, no,
we don't want to do this, this is not a
good idea, but he insisted as the statute of limitations approached,
and I think probably it's not a good move. But
(03:57):
here's my last reaction. Hey Democrats, you're against law fair.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let me ask you again. You're against lawfair? Is that right?
I feel like in the intelligentia circles, anytime you bring
this sort of thing up, you get accused of what
about ism or all these different things? Do you not
recognize everybody?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We're on a trajectory, and if they're going to try
to prosecute Trump for a gazillion different things that were
completely bogus, then he's gonna do it to people. And
it's just we're just gonna keep going that direction and
until like violence and everything else, until sides start calling
out their own side. Like if I was watching MSNBC
and Joe Scarbroo said we should have never tried to
(04:41):
throw Trump in jail over the whole got a good
deal on a loan thing that was out of line
and Trump shouldn't do this. I would listen to you.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But since you cheered that right and then called us
the worst thing that's ever happened, it's a.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Little hard to take.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, and it doesn't mean you're in favor of what's
happening now, but a it's hard to take and be
just the idea of a guy in you know, a fistfight,
breaking out a knife, and then the other guy breaks
out a knife and the first guy says, say, God,
it haven't hey he's brought out a knife. Well, yes,
yes you did too, So say with me your faux outrage,
(05:18):
and for God's sake, would somebody listen to us, somebody, anybody? Well,
you folks are thank you very much. You can't do
stuff that changes norms that, then you will say is
abhorrent when your opponent does the same, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Good lord? A knife? Oh dare you sir? Well?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Benjamin Netanya, who's speaking at the un right now, he's
got a map out, and I have a feeling he's
going to lay the wood to them with the.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What are you talking about? A Palestinian state? What are
you even talking about?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah, but we'll have some phony. Phony, we'll have some
we'll have some highlights of that later.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Back to the James Comy thing, because this is going
to be the dominant media's only story for today and
maybe for some time to come. Andrew McCarthy of the
National Review, who many people who lean right, including Fox News,
tend to listen to his headline, I haven't read the
whole article is another ill advised indictment.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
He's not a fan of this apparently, right right.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think Collmy absolutely, he got that Steele dossier into
the record and into the whole blood stream of the
Justice Department and everything that no one it was crap
and it just leaked it on purpose. And Andrew McKay
testified that the old FBI director and nobody's No, nothing's
(06:47):
going to get be proven. Comy's not going to jail. No,
but that's what happened. He's he's almost certainly guilty of
everything he's accused of, but it's extremely difficult to get
a conviction on this sort of charge, which will described
later on, and have legal experts who know what they're
talking about described, Yeah, I just this one more step
down the road of ugly.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I get Trump's.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Utter bitterness about his opponents at this point and how
advisors and there are several of his high level advisors
who are telling him, no, don't take the bait, take
the high road, stay on the high road.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And Trump's saying, f the high road. I've been taking
this stuff for what?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
How?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
When did he come down the escalator a decade ago?
June twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Thank you, um, And he's like, no, no, no, that.
Nobody's been on the high road for ages. It's like
an abandoned railroad track. It's to stop it with that.
I'm getting on the low road and I'm gonna punch
him in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
A little bit ball.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
By the way to my opening comment of I was
just about to buy a vanity. Trump announced a bunch
of new tariffs on a variety of things, big trucks
of some kind, and vanities, bathroom vanities for some reason,
and the pharmaceuticals. But there are lots of carve outs. Yeah,
a bunch of different things. We'll we'll hit you with
that list coming up a little bit later. We had
a big swore a last night radio swore. You were there, Michael.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Angelo, Yes, yes, I was. Yeah. It was quite the party.
We were all there. I did not make it. I
was unavoidably detained.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It was a big radio get together with clients and whatnot.
That a fancy restaurant with food, and you know the
kind of food where you stand up with a little
tiny plate and that people carried around say would you
like to try the blah blah blah, and then you
stand there and you try to talk to people while
you're eating really tiny food with your hands and up
spitting on them, and then you get stuff all over
your fingers and people already wants to shake hands.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
One of those kind of deals. But the food is fantastic. Yeah.
Do you have the short reb but tacos? Michael? Oh yeah,
I had a bunch of them. Damn good, Oh my god,
that was good stuff. I remember when we could afford
long rib tacos, but those days are gone. Yeah, I know,
Thank you Biden.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, this is Joe Biden's America tacos made with short
little ribs, any little ribs. I had a point with
the party last night.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Oh, lots of standing around, smiling, working on my new face.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
My new pleasant face. So I don't look like I
want to raise just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
As if you expect to hear something interesting, I don't.
I don't expect to hear anything.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, you're faking it. That's the point. I can only
go so far. Yeah, I thought you did good, Jack,
Thank you, thank you very much. Michael. It's nice. No,
as far as your resting face, it was very good.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I was the most dressed up person there. I think
outside the women. I wore a snazzy suit. Our top
sales guy didn't even tuck in his shirt. And he's
he's so far the top salesperson. He didn't have to.
He just he can just do whatever he wants. Showed
up the cat dresser.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Was it like an untucked shirt designed to be untucked?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't know, but it just he didn't care. Trust me,
he didn't put any thought into it. He did not care.
He doesn't need to care. He's got he's got. He's
got that sort of leverage. A good man.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Me, on the other hand, clinging to a mediocre career,
I had to get all.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Dressed up hoping people would respect me.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Just trying to run out, just trying to run out
the clock. Okay, we got these headlines on the way.
We'll get into some of the news. We are not
going to forget clips of the week today. We just
will mod all of that is coming up.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Stay here.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I am Joe Biden. Dementia has set in. I have
forgotten to start the show officially. I think twice in
the last I don't know five years, and both have
been this week.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I just, uh, I don't know what's going on. There
outrageous and where's the buzzer for that? Michael?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
The media bias you hear about when I screw up.
I get the buzzer, good loud, and it's fun. Jack
drops the ball, Jack drops the ball and nothing kid gloves.
You're like the New York Times with democrats, Michael.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I'm with Joe. Yes, all right, get the buzzer. Yeah,
from now on.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If I signaled a break without starting the show officially,
full buzzer and mockery and all the mockery that comes
with it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Where's Joe's retribution? Yes, exactly, retribution. I'll prosecute you.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, all right here, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe getting
on this. It is Frya, September twenty sixth, the year
twenty twenty five. We're armstrong and get in and we approve
of this program. Let's begin the show officially now according
the FCC rules. Rags at Mark.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. Shut up,
but I have a great confidence in the federal judicial system.
I'm innocent, so let's have a trial. I keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh, we got to play more of that because it's
classic Koby. It's so over the top. I will not
go I will not live on my knees, and neither
should you.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
What the frigg are you talking about? This is what,
and then we'll get through the headlines. This is what
Mark Halpern wrote today. He said, I have long been
mystified at the deification of Jim Comy, a man whose
public actions and statements have been put in sharp relief
with what a complete unprincipled phony.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And liar he is.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well and if you are trying to do a comedy
skit where you're like parody how pompous and self righteous
he is, you couldn't do it. You couldn't parody it.
You can't out call me colly. But Mark Alpernu tries
really hard to be nonpartisan, said, Jim Comy is a
complete phony and liar. You know why because he's a
complete phony and liar.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, yes, everybody, yes, yes, all right, let's figure out
more on that to come. We have expert legal commentators
weighing in on the topic, so you will know much
more than your friends and neighbors and co workers if
you stay tuned. But first let's figure out who's supporting
what it's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Katie just along with our opening clip from ABC.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Former FBI director.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
James Comy post video after indictment.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I am innocent And if you've ever wanted to see
what it looks like when somebody's hair is on fire,
flip over to MSNBC. At some point today, they are
treating this like the worst thing that has happened in
Trump's presidency that he's ever done.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
And they stated that.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
This from The Free Beacon, NBC said Ice held a
five year old autistic girl to pressure her father to surrender.
He actually abandoned her why while fleeing from law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Those are two different versions of a story. Wow, And that.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
False version started with Representative elon Omar.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh ilhan Omar.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, we've got a great Il han Omar clip coming
up with the way, very amusing. Yeah, just complete propaganda
from NBC, who quietly corrected its Finally unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
From the Washington Post, Trump announced his new tariffs un
quote big trucks, furniture and pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And vanity, I was gonna buy a bathroom. I was
going to buy a bathroom vanity today. Actually I'd planned
it for September twenty sixth. Then, unfortunately, my timing was
that now you gotta keep brushing your teeth in the toilet,
Jesus say Trump.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
From the New York Times, Israel is continuing to flatten
parts of Gaza City.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, it is not getting as much attention as I
thought it would because we got so many big stories
going on domestically. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, that's good point. That's good point.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I was gonna say, it's the usual suspects saying the
usual things, with the usual flaws in their reasoning, and
I think people are just tired of it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But that's a factor too. From NBC News.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Amazon to pay two point five billion dollars to settle
FTC allegations that it duped customers into enrolling in Prime.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And one of the parts of the penalty that they're paying,
this biggest penalty anybody's ever had to pay, is that
they made it impossible to cancel your Prime subscription. I
want this to scare other companies who make it impossible
to cancel one of your cell phones that you got,
or you know, your gym membership or whatever the heck
you've signed up for and then make it impossible to cancel.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh yeah, I know this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
First of all, government guy like me to advocate, but
we needed a department of canceling stuff. I'd just be
like twenty people who open subscriptions to Gym's and Amazon
Prime and cable packages or whatever and then try to
cancel them, and if they run into any headwind whatsoever,
the full force of the federal government comes down on
(15:15):
that company National Guard in their front lobby.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh I love that idea. Chie Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
From the Wall Street Journal, heg Seth orders top US
military officers to Washington for mystery meeting.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Do we know why yet?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I have a theory. Okay, Joe's theory. We have to
wait till Thursday. The Thursday theory. Joe's Thursday theory. We
gotta wait a week.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nobody's gonna care. They'll have had the meeting. I demand
a second theory.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
From USA Today, William Shatner pokes fun at hospitalization reports, saying, quote,
don't trust tabloids.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Or AI Did you see this story?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
No, it was everywhere that ninety four year old William
Shatner rushed to hostile a laughter medical emergency, and it
was on all the websites, and it was it was
fake and he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
No, he was fine. He got somebody there was.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
There was like apparently an AI picture of him being
wheeled out in all of it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh my gosh, Well he is suffering from space comdia
that he got from one of those hot alien chicks,
the Green Chick.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
If there are humans more comfortable in their own skin
than Bill Shatner, it is a short one. No, He's
enjoyed life a lot. Oh, I'm such a Bill Shatner fan.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
From the Bill. If you're listening, We've chatted with Bill.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Three years and just a just a really really likable guy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hope you're well Bill.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
From The New York Post. Greta Tuneberg's Flotilla Radio hacked
to blast Abba music and Jabbit activist, Abba Dancing Queen. Yes,
oh okay, little Jimmy, gimmey, gimmey, Okay, I'm a fan,
(17:00):
all right. Finally from The Babylon Bee, Kamila's audio book
lets you pick which accent you want to hear for
each chep.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So Joe's got a theory why Hegzeth demanded all the
generals show up. We also took a little more about
the Comby indictment, which is either the biggest thing ever
or not.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I will figure that out and clips of the week
coming up in seconds.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Stay with us Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I'm William Shatner. I have searched earnestly and desperately for
intelligence and perception in the universe, and I have found
it everywhere except here on Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
James Tiberius Kirk, who is not in hospitally is not sick.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That was an Internet rumor yesterday.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I just had an idea Hanson executive producer, who is
posted on a picture with the rest of the everybody
on Twitter last night from our party. We need some
drops from the Komi Instagram video he put out. I
want to hear I believe in the apartment. I will
not live on my lean knees.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You know, just some of that stuff is My heart
is broken right right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
His over the top ridiculousness.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He's one of the most annoying human beings in America,
and I think everybody agrees with that, like left, right
and center. Yeah, but it's funny depending on who is
besetting Komy or angry at him.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
At any given moment, the.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Other side rushes to the defense like he's a paragon.
Wait a minute, you said he was satan like last week,
Oh my gosh, our politics are broken. What are you
gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
We're gonna take a fond look back at the week
that was. It's cow clips of the week, and so on.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
That terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty five, our greatest
evangelist for American liberty became immortal.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
He wanted to save young men, just like the one
who took his life.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It is better to face a gunman than to live
your life afraid to speak the truth.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
That man, that young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent
and I don't want the best of them. I'm sorry.
I am sorry, Erica.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
You believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do.
There it was, that's that's it, a selfless act of graces.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It a Trump saying that Ukraine, with NATO's help, might
be able to win back land taken by Russia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Are you surprised to hear that admit, do you think.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
That NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they
enter their airspace?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The finish answer is to be cool, calm and collected,
take a salma, take an ice bath, take the right action.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Don't take tail and all there's no downside, don't take it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I fear that we will not have an election in
twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I really mean that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
When Democrats like Gavin Newsom, what they're doing is encouraging
crazy people to go and commit violence.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Unless a rhetoric stops, is not over. And it's just
it's scary.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
And maybe I was being too cautious with a great
deal of sadness about also the fact, what's that it
might have been a risk.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Let's look on merit, and I can tell you on
merit he's a failure, and on merit she's a failure.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Trump was right about everything.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but
it's true. I've been right about everything to all of
these predictions. They were made by stupid people. The wind
doesn't blow. I'm really good at this stuff. The countries
are going to hell. These are the two things I
got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a
(21:06):
bad teleprompter, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah. Trump gets talked about so much and too much.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But I heard a good back to back earlier this
week somewhere long clips of Charlie Kirk's wife and her
amazing moving speech that was not about politics. It was
all about redemption and Jesus and forgiveness and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Back to back with Trump's. You know what, I hate
my enemies. I hate him. I know I shouldn't, but
I do. Maybe you can talk to America about I
hate him. I hate him and I want him to fail.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And that is one of the I mean, nobody, no
other politician in the history of America would have gone
on that stage after her speech and said that. And
it worked for him, right, It made him true, bigger,
stronger in his own crowd.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, it's just he just he. That is an
amazing political trick. Yeah, you're right, it's just completely unique.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
On the other hand, I would like to submit to
you that Kamala Harris is the most consistently entertaining entertainer
in the history of the world, more consistent than the Beatles.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Jerry Seinfeld he'd have to have a bracket.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And had come down with different entertainers and to have
Kamala Harris versus Frank Sinatra and her vote.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Right, Frank had his off moments put out a couple
of albums that were a little bit flat, but Kamala
never fails to entertain. Gone now her parenthetical speaking is
just wow, it's amazing. Somebody can't fix that for her.
Come for the gobblede, stay for the cook's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
So what I want to hear, I actually want to
hear this.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What's your theory on why Pete Hagszth, Secretary of War,
I keep forgetting to say that because that's actually what.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
It well it's not actually what it is now, it's.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What the sign says on his door, but Congress hasn't
actually approved it yet. The Secretary of War, Pete Haggsth
called all the generals and admirals and everybody together and
with no revealing why.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So what happened? Escape room party?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Everybody says, I don't want to do that, but when
they get there, they have a great time.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So that's my thing. Right, there's a gift bag at
the end, right, Yeah, it's fun. It really is. Fun.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, the theories are either unveiling a big new national
defense strategy, emphasizing the Western hemisphere, that whole spheres of influence,
a giant master plan. We've been discussing the trumpet times.
Seems like he's leaning toward and some people think it's
(24:00):
just going to be some sort of big overhaul of
the Pentagon in some way. But no, no, nobody knows.
In fact, the theories are just theories. I haven't even
seen any decent leaks. One of the you'd think there
would be leaks. One of the thinkers at the party
last night was speculating that it was to frighten Russia.
Although unless it's coordinated with the timing of something else, I.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Don't know why you would have any effect.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Putin hasn't been afraid of anything but COVID since he
was eleven years old. He's the iceman. It'll be interesting
to see. I hope it's, you know, big ish. If
you're like, you know, running the seventh Fleet way the
hell out in the Pacific and you're told you got
(24:50):
to be in Washington Tuesday, that's that's that's a big deal.
And we have many, many generals and admirals around the world.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I don't know what the total number is.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If you no how many people, this is a hell
of a lot. So I don't know how to handle
the whole James Comy thing. I think it's just from
the legal experts that I read that are conservatives that
just from a law standpoint, it's not likely to get
a conviction from a don't cry any tears.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
From Comy's standpoint, though there's a lot there. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Mark Halpern and his newsletter today talking about everything that
has happened throughout the however many years with Trump and
the back and forth in the legal department and all that,
and he said, and where was James Comy floating above
it all, halo polished by podcasts and cable hits, framed
as the dutiful boy scout against the Orange menace, the
irony rights itself. The public sees the claresy protect its own,
(25:52):
and they start to want, yes, a pound of flesh,
not torches and pitchforks. Lawful accountability, hearings with teeth inspectors
general with bite phisor reforms that don't evaporate at cocktail hour,
naming names, mapping processes, clawing back authorities, the bureaucracy assumed
was theirs by birthright, and he goes through all the
you know, clearly lying to the Phisi Court about getting
(26:19):
warrants to be able to search various people leak in
the Steele dossier. So then he could say there are
reports out there, mister President, I need to tell you, Yeah,
there reports out there because.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You leaked them.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I mean, the whole thing is so flip and phony,
and he's never had to pay a price for it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Who were you quoting just then, Mark Alprin's writing, Oh,
that's really good. That's really good writing. Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's you know, this is mostly exhausting to me in
that First of all, you have the never ending when
one side pushes the bounds of any sort of restraint
in the executive branch, you have the other side saying,
oh my god, it's horrible. And then they switch sides
(27:02):
and the other side pushes the bounds of what the
executive ought to be doing, and they say this is good,
and just the other side says, oh my god, that's horrible.
Or then they switch again and the roles are reversed,
and it keeps moving in the same way. Yeah, well,
we say this is good in just because look what
they did last time, which is true, but we end
up in a race to the bottom, as I keep saying,
(27:23):
we just go further down the road of no norms and.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Discourse. That's just you're an fing liar.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
No, you're an fing liar, right, And in the past
the idea that and a lot of people are saying
this with a perfectly straight face, and I would hope
this is the sort of thing you come to us for,
not that quit with the old.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You know, cliched half lies. I just I don't have
any patience for them anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
For instance, the idea that there is a high wall
of separation between the Oval Office and the Department of Justice,
that's half true. It reminds me of speed limits. It
says seventy so you don't go one hundred, but everybody's
going seventy.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Five to eighty to eighty five. Whatever you say.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
There's a separation between the president and the Justice Department,
so things don't get too obvious and too over the top,
like I don't know, prosecuting your enemies because you're pissed
off at them. But it happens, but it's kept within
a certain level of lawlessness.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
This is a step toward.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, you're just your job is to prosecute and or persecute,
depending on your point of view my opponents, Now go
do it, and if you won't, like the guy in
the Eastern District of Virginia, if you won't, I'll fire
you and get somebody a will right or not prosecute
my friends or family. In the case of Hunter Biden,
and you had people, you know, whistleblowers in the Justice
(28:51):
Department saying in any other case, we would have done this,
but we didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Hear right. There are lots and lots of examples for it.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As you often say, Jack, until you're calling out your
own side, save your crocodile tears doesn't help. So here's
a practical This is a life hack, ironically, because it's
like anti hacking TransUnion. Just to confirm the breach, over
four million people affected. That's a wake up call for you, friends.
(29:18):
These breaches happen a lot, and that's why we strongly
suggest you use Webroot total protection. It's not just antivirus,
it's identity for protection from up to ten people, dark
web monitoring, up to a million bucks in fraud expense reimbursement.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
A lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Companies get hacked, then your information is out there. You know,
webroot they actually scan the dark web looking for your
info to see if it's out there and can help
you out with that, which is pretty pretty cool. Webroot
Total Protection identity protection for up to ten people, dark
web monitoring as I said, and up to a million
dollars in fraud expense reimbursement, plus twenty four to seven
US based support, elder fraud hotline, VPN, cloud backup, anti virus,
(29:57):
the whole package and as much mo more efficient than
the a lot of the other guys that runs a
lot faster. Get fifty percent off webroot Total Protection or
webroot Essentials at webroot dot com slash armstrong. That's webroot
dot com slash armstrong one more time, webroot dot com
slash armstrong. Looking at our picture from the party last
(30:18):
night that I posted, you know what most people commented
about you, Michael.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What how thin you look? Yeah, congratulations on your thinness.
Thank you. That's out of necessity, out of health. There
was a fair amount of how old some of us look.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But what are you gonna do about it, Hanson, can
you take that down and photoshop me into it.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I don't want rumors to start that, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I'm like dad, Like Paul McCartney's second Beatles reference of
the half hour. I remember the last party similar to this.
I wasn't there because I had COVID.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Remember that. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's there. A
bunch of pictures splitting around where I wasn't there. That's
on my my dB, my deathbed.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
We've got mail bag on the way and a bunch
more news of the day that we've got to get
to stay here.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Strong.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, who just spoke at the UN He had set
up giant loud speakers around Gaza City, blasting his speech
in to hopefully be heard by other Palestinians and the hostages.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
He said, which is in haw interesting plan.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, indeed, more on that to come. Plus we
have promised a couple of times and we'll pay off.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Next hour.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Various thinkers and sages and experts talking about the indictment
of James Komy and what it means and how likely
it is to succeed, and the sins of Komi and
just the good imagine this. We'll bring you all sides
of the story and of the question, so you understand
what's going on. Here's your freedom loving quote of the
day from writer Brendan O'Neill, who wrote a piece recently
(31:45):
about what he characterized is Britain's working class uprising. I
was talking about this a little bit yesterday, how the
ruling class in Britain, which is the protected class, it
can unleash all sorts of policies on the country that
it never feels it's not living next to some migrant
hotel where rape gangs are victimizing their daughters, and on
(32:10):
and on, the whole bizarro queer thing. There are no
men in their wives dressing rooms anyway, he writes. I
wonder if it is the destiny of the English to
do with peaceful protest what Donald Trump has done with
executive orders, push out all the destructive eccentricity that has
(32:32):
self identified as wisdom these past few years. There's a
brilliant gender critical group called sex Matters. To that we
might now add borders matter, and sovereignty matters, and communities matter.
That's what I hear working class communities saying right now
to there are too often indifferent superiors.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
We matter. Well, that's why I know you don't pay
attention to this and why would you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
But British politics, it's expected that the Reform part is
going to win the next election and have a prime
minister from their party, probably that Nigel LeFarge Defarge.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And that's a huge deal. That'd be like a third
party winning in the United States, which.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Is why the left is so desperate to let children vote,
because that might usher usher in the far left party,
left of labor, I mean, oh ugliness mailbag, drop us
a note mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com.
Here's your meme of the day, sent along by somebody
or other. It's Obama throwing his head back and laughing.
(33:37):
And the caption is when you preach climate change, income, inequality,
and racism are America's biggest problems, yet you buy a
fifteen million dollar mansion on the water in an all
white neighborhood. Boy, Yeah, how about this. On the topic
of TMJ's trained monkey jobs, Trained monkey jobs came up
(34:01):
at the party last night. Everybody was discussing what job
have you had that a somewhat trained monkey could have
done when you were younger? Right, we got a number
of responses. I liked this one from Jeff Listener from
day one. Thanks Jeff, guys unloading rocks from a semi
pick up a rock, walk to the opening, toss the
rock out, repeat for six hours. Yes, I had that
(34:23):
kind of job too, and seriously, a monkey could do it.
In fact, the monkey would might say this is beneath
me and swing away on the branches.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yes, yes, if it had any sense.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Anonymous writing on the topic of this was part of
the Armstrong and Getting One More Thing podcast from yesterday,
talking about different ways to achieve sobriety, among other topics,
and he says, my wife has been using now trek
Zone for quite a while now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's been extremely helpful.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
It essentially blocks the dopamine hit you get from either
drinking or opioids, and it makes the experience of intoxication
simply a physical chore, not an enjoyable experience. From the
it seems to have simply helped her rewire her emotional
relationship with alcohol. No longer fixes bad feelings, doesn't make
the party more lively, and drinking out of boredom is
just an immediate nap.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Do you take it every day or that doesn't make
that clear. Signs off.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
This is where I'd like to insert some astute observation
about the human condition, but it's late and I'm dumb.
I just wonder because I keep thinking about my sugar things.
Since I can't taste sugar, that makes me want to
eat more sugar. I wish I could find a way
around that.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Interesting, Oh we talked about that too, Tom and so
col wrights guys. Kamala Harris's book tour comments or just
reinforcing her lack of qualifications to hold most any job,
please the presidency, no individual thought. Excuse after excuse, general
lack of awareness and leadership, not to mention the insult
that Americans would never accept a black woman running with
a gay man.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
What we care about at this stage, after enduring the
Biden Harris regime.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
The corruption and the damage done is.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
That all political parties pick qualified Americans, qualified, regardless of race, sex,
sexual preference, or whatever new category you come up with
next next time. Enough racism, sexism, misogyny. No, you weren't qualified,
and it was blatantly obvious. I don't know if she
knows it yet, but her book tour this week I
think killed any chance of her being able to run
(36:19):
for president. She put the final nail in the coffin
of her political career. It's hilarious to me that anybody
who thought that those hopes were alive in a real way.
But if they were, you're right, this ended it.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Wild Huh.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
You put out a book hoping to run for president
and it ends your political career. We got a lot
more on the way.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
If you miss a segment or an hour, get the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Jette and he arms range.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh man, I was just about to buy a bathroom vanity.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Why I'm from studio see a four and one huh
se Senior timly Litt room deep with from the bowels
of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound on a Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
It's Friday, and under the tutelage of our general manager James,
call me convict, well defended, well, inditey.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And if you indict the proverbial ham sandwich along with
commy swiss and some nice spicy.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Mustard on mine. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You're referencing an old saying that is what you can
indict a ham sandwich? And where does that? Why is
that saying exist? I've heard that my whole life. Well,
an indictment is has no has few of the elements
of a trial. All you have is the prosecution trying
to give the grand jury enough evidence to say, you know,
we want to hold a trial and see if this
(01:29):
guy might be guilty. And then the grand jury says, yeah,
go ahead if you want, and then the defense gets
geared up and says, no, these charges are garbage, and
then you have an actual trial, so the defense does
not testify at a grand jury indictment. By hearing, sounds
like a certain Joe Getty is standing up for the
lanky law man James Commy and I wish I'll ry
(01:51):
had one. Yes, that's correct. No, it's this kind of
case is kind of difficult to prove. Let me tell you,
as we'll hear from various experts. Yes, before you get
into anything, let me tell you. Let me tell you
the landscape for people who don't take in lots of media.
I've taken in lots of different media today, pretty much
everybody but Fox is treating this as one of the
biggest things, if not the single biggest thing Trump.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Has ever done as president either term. I mean, they're
full on hair on fire.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
This is where it's crossed the line. This is the
end of our democracy. Oh by big, you mean like horrifying.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes, yes, this is the This is the biggest thing
that has happened ever with Trump. According to like MSNBC
that we're into completely new territory here, blah blah blah.
I will say this I'm not a lawyer. I don't
know much about this, but I will say this. Fox
(02:50):
had it in their second segment of their first hour
today on Fox and Friends. They didn't get around to it.
The first segment, they talked about legs.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They talked about how yes exactly, they talked about how
Trump was going to be at the Right Cup golf
tournament today and walk with the players and how cool
that was, and a couple other things. But they changes everything.
They did not get around to the lanky lawman. So
I feel like if Fox thought this was a really
good story for Trump, they would have not waited to
(03:18):
the second segment to get it. Oh that's that's a
good point. Yeah, yeah, here's my reaction. Call me lies
like a rug.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So many questions standing in the woods looking up, so
many questions.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So many lies, so many distortions, so many leaks. This.
I will also say this, this prosecution is a stretch,
and some of Trump's own people in the past have said, no,
we don't want to do this, this is not a
good idea, but he insisted as the statute of limitations approached,
and I think probably it's not a good move. But
(03:57):
here's my last reaction. Hey Democrats, you're against law fair.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let me ask you again. You're against lawfair? Is that right?
I feel like in the intelligentia circles, anytime you bring
this sort of thing up, you get accused of what
about ism or all these different things? Do you not
recognize everybody?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We're on a trajectory, and if they're going to try
to prosecute Trump for a gazillion different things that were
completely bogus, then he's gonna do it to people. And
it's just we're just gonna keep going that direction and
until like violence and everything else, until sides start calling
out their own side. Like if I was watching MSNBC
and Joe Scarbroo said we should have never tried to
(04:41):
throw Trump in jail over the whole got a good
deal on a loan thing that was out of line
and Trump shouldn't do this. I would listen to you.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But since you cheered that right and then called us
the worst thing that's ever happened, it's a.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Little hard to take.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, and it doesn't mean you're in favor of what's
happening now, but a it's hard to take and be
just the idea of a guy in you know, a fistfight,
breaking out a knife, and then the other guy breaks
out a knife and the first guy says, say, God,
it haven't hey he's brought out a knife. Well, yes,
yes you did too, So say with me your faux outrage,
(05:18):
and for God's sake, would somebody listen to us, somebody, anybody? Well,
you folks are thank you very much. You can't do
stuff that changes norms that, then you will say is
abhorrent when your opponent does the same, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Good lord? A knife? Oh dare you sir? Well?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Benjamin Netanya, who's speaking at the un right now, he's
got a map out, and I have a feeling he's
going to lay the wood to them with the.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What are you talking about? A Palestinian state? What are
you even talking about?
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah, but we'll have some phony. Phony, we'll have some
we'll have some highlights of that later.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Back to the James Comy thing, because this is going
to be the dominant media's only story for today and
maybe for some time to come. Andrew McCarthy of the
National Review, who many people who lean right, including Fox News,
tend to listen to his headline, I haven't read the
whole article is another ill advised indictment.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
He's not a fan of this apparently, right right.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think Collmy absolutely, he got that Steele dossier into
the record and into the whole blood stream of the
Justice Department and everything that no one it was crap
and it just leaked it on purpose. And Andrew McKay
testified that the old FBI director and nobody's No, nothing's
(06:47):
going to get be proven. Comy's not going to jail. No,
but that's what happened. He's he's almost certainly guilty of
everything he's accused of, but it's extremely difficult to get
a conviction on this sort of charge, which will described
later on, and have legal experts who know what they're
talking about described, Yeah, I just this one more step
down the road of ugly.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I get Trump's.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Utter bitterness about his opponents at this point and how
advisors and there are several of his high level advisors
who are telling him, no, don't take the bait, take
the high road, stay on the high road.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And Trump's saying, f the high road. I've been taking
this stuff for what?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
How?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
When did he come down the escalator a decade ago?
June twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Thank you, um, And he's like, no, no, no, that.
Nobody's been on the high road for ages. It's like
an abandoned railroad track. It's to stop it with that.
I'm getting on the low road and I'm gonna punch
him in the mouth.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
A little bit ball.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
By the way to my opening comment of I was
just about to buy a vanity. Trump announced a bunch
of new tariffs on a variety of things, big trucks
of some kind, and vanities, bathroom vanities for some reason,
and the pharmaceuticals. But there are lots of carve outs. Yeah,
a bunch of different things. We'll we'll hit you with
that list coming up a little bit later. We had
a big swore a last night radio swore. You were there, Michael.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Angelo, Yes, yes, I was. Yeah. It was quite the party.
We were all there. I did not make it. I
was unavoidably detained.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It was a big radio get together with clients and whatnot.
That a fancy restaurant with food, and you know the
kind of food where you stand up with a little
tiny plate and that people carried around say would you
like to try the blah blah blah, and then you
stand there and you try to talk to people while
you're eating really tiny food with your hands and up
spitting on them, and then you get stuff all over
your fingers and people already wants to shake hands.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
One of those kind of deals. But the food is fantastic. Yeah.
Do you have the short reb but tacos? Michael? Oh yeah,
I had a bunch of them. Damn good, Oh my god,
that was good stuff. I remember when we could afford
long rib tacos, but those days are gone. Yeah, I know,
Thank you Biden.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, this is Joe Biden's America tacos made with short
little ribs, any little ribs. I had a point with
the party last night.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Oh, lots of standing around, smiling, working on my new face.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
My new pleasant face. So I don't look like I
want to raise just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
As if you expect to hear something interesting, I don't.
I don't expect to hear anything.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, you're faking it. That's the point. I can only
go so far. Yeah, I thought you did good, Jack,
Thank you, thank you very much. Michael. It's nice. No,
as far as your resting face, it was very good.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I was the most dressed up person there. I think
outside the women. I wore a snazzy suit. Our top
sales guy didn't even tuck in his shirt. And he's
he's so far the top salesperson. He didn't have to.
He just he can just do whatever he wants. Showed
up the cat dresser.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Was it like an untucked shirt designed to be untucked?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't know, but it just he didn't care. Trust me,
he didn't put any thought into it. He did not care.
He doesn't need to care. He's got he's got. He's
got that sort of leverage. A good man.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Me, on the other hand, clinging to a mediocre career,
I had to get all.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Dressed up hoping people would respect me.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Just trying to run out, just trying to run out
the clock. Okay, we got these headlines on the way.
We'll get into some of the news. We are not
going to forget clips of the week today. We just
will mod all of that is coming up.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Stay here.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I am Joe Biden. Dementia has set in. I have
forgotten to start the show officially. I think twice in
the last I don't know five years, and both have
been this week.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I just, uh, I don't know what's going on. There
outrageous and where's the buzzer for that? Michael?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
The media bias you hear about when I screw up.
I get the buzzer, good loud, and it's fun. Jack
drops the ball, Jack drops the ball and nothing kid gloves.
You're like the New York Times with democrats, Michael.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I'm with Joe. Yes, all right, get the buzzer. Yeah,
from now on.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
If I signaled a break without starting the show officially,
full buzzer and mockery and all the mockery that comes
with it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Where's Joe's retribution? Yes, exactly, retribution. I'll prosecute you.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, all right here, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe getting
on this. It is Frya, September twenty sixth, the year
twenty twenty five. We're armstrong and get in and we approve
of this program. Let's begin the show officially now according
the FCC rules. Rags at Mark.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. Shut up,
but I have a great confidence in the federal judicial system.
I'm innocent, so let's have a trial. I keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh, we got to play more of that because it's
classic Koby. It's so over the top. I will not
go I will not live on my knees, and neither
should you.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
What the frigg are you talking about? This is what,
and then we'll get through the headlines. This is what
Mark Halpern wrote today. He said, I have long been
mystified at the deification of Jim Comy, a man whose
public actions and statements have been put in sharp relief
with what a complete unprincipled phony.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And liar he is.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well and if you are trying to do a comedy
skit where you're like parody how pompous and self righteous
he is, you couldn't do it. You couldn't parody it.
You can't out call me colly. But Mark Alpernu tries
really hard to be nonpartisan, said, Jim Comy is a
complete phony and liar. You know why because he's a
complete phony and liar.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, yes, everybody, yes, yes, all right, let's figure out
more on that to come. We have expert legal commentators
weighing in on the topic, so you will know much
more than your friends and neighbors and co workers if
you stay tuned. But first let's figure out who's supporting
what it's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Katie just along with our opening clip from ABC.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Former FBI director.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
James Comy post video after indictment.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I am innocent And if you've ever wanted to see
what it looks like when somebody's hair is on fire,
flip over to MSNBC. At some point today, they are
treating this like the worst thing that has happened in
Trump's presidency that he's ever done.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
And they stated that.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
This from The Free Beacon, NBC said Ice held a
five year old autistic girl to pressure her father to surrender.
He actually abandoned her why while fleeing from law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Those are two different versions of a story. Wow, And that.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
False version started with Representative elon Omar.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh ilhan Omar.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, we've got a great Il han Omar clip coming
up with the way, very amusing. Yeah, just complete propaganda
from NBC, who quietly corrected its Finally unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
From the Washington Post, Trump announced his new tariffs un
quote big trucks, furniture and pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And vanity, I was gonna buy a bathroom. I was
going to buy a bathroom vanity today. Actually I'd planned
it for September twenty sixth. Then, unfortunately, my timing was
that now you gotta keep brushing your teeth in the toilet,
Jesus say Trump.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
From the New York Times, Israel is continuing to flatten
parts of Gaza City.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, it is not getting as much attention as I
thought it would because we got so many big stories
going on domestically. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, that's good point. That's good point.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I was gonna say, it's the usual suspects saying the
usual things, with the usual flaws in their reasoning, and
I think people are just tired of it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But that's a factor too. From NBC News.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Amazon to pay two point five billion dollars to settle
FTC allegations that it duped customers into enrolling in Prime.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And one of the parts of the penalty that they're paying,
this biggest penalty anybody's ever had to pay, is that
they made it impossible to cancel your Prime subscription. I
want this to scare other companies who make it impossible
to cancel one of your cell phones that you got,
or you know, your gym membership or whatever the heck
you've signed up for and then make it impossible to cancel.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Oh yeah, I know this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
First of all, government guy like me to advocate, but
we needed a department of canceling stuff. I'd just be
like twenty people who open subscriptions to Gym's and Amazon
Prime and cable packages or whatever and then try to
cancel them, and if they run into any headwind whatsoever,
the full force of the federal government comes down on
(15:15):
that company National Guard in their front lobby.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh I love that idea. Chie Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
From the Wall Street Journal, heg Seth orders top US
military officers to Washington for mystery meeting.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Do we know why yet?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I have a theory. Okay, Joe's theory. We have to
wait till Thursday. The Thursday theory. Joe's Thursday theory. We
gotta wait a week.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Nobody's gonna care. They'll have had the meeting. I demand
a second theory.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
From USA Today, William Shatner pokes fun at hospitalization reports, saying, quote,
don't trust tabloids.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Or AI Did you see this story?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
No, it was everywhere that ninety four year old William
Shatner rushed to hostile a laughter medical emergency, and it
was on all the websites, and it was it was
fake and he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
No, he was fine. He got somebody there was.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
There was like apparently an AI picture of him being
wheeled out in all of it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh my gosh, Well he is suffering from space comdia
that he got from one of those hot alien chicks,
the Green Chick.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
If there are humans more comfortable in their own skin
than Bill Shatner, it is a short one. No, He's
enjoyed life a lot. Oh, I'm such a Bill Shatner fan.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
From the Bill. If you're listening, We've chatted with Bill.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Three years and just a just a really really likable guy.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hope you're well Bill.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
From The New York Post. Greta Tuneberg's Flotilla Radio hacked
to blast Abba music and Jabbit activist, Abba Dancing Queen. Yes,
oh okay, little Jimmy, gimmey, gimmey, Okay, I'm a fan,
(17:00):
all right. Finally from The Babylon Bee, Kamila's audio book
lets you pick which accent you want to hear for
each chep.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So Joe's got a theory why Hegzeth demanded all the
generals show up. We also took a little more about
the Comby indictment, which is either the biggest thing ever
or not.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I will figure that out and clips of the week
coming up in seconds.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Stay with us Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Hi.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I'm William Shatner. I have searched earnestly and desperately for
intelligence and perception in the universe, and I have found
it everywhere except here on Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
James Tiberius Kirk, who is not in hospitally is not sick.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That was an Internet rumor yesterday.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I just had an idea Hanson executive producer, who is
posted on a picture with the rest of the everybody
on Twitter last night from our party. We need some
drops from the Komi Instagram video he put out. I
want to hear I believe in the apartment. I will
not live on my lean knees.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
You know, just some of that stuff is My heart
is broken right right.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
His over the top ridiculousness.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He's one of the most annoying human beings in America,
and I think everybody agrees with that, like left, right
and center. Yeah, but it's funny depending on who is
besetting Komy or angry at him.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
At any given moment, the.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Other side rushes to the defense like he's a paragon.
Wait a minute, you said he was satan like last week,
Oh my gosh, our politics are broken. What are you
gonna do?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We're gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
We're gonna take a fond look back at the week
that was. It's cow clips of the week, and so on.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
That terrible day September tenth, twenty twenty five, our greatest
evangelist for American liberty became immortal.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
He wanted to save young men, just like the one
who took his life.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
It is better to face a gunman than to live
your life afraid to speak the truth.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
That man, that young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent
and I don't want the best of them. I'm sorry.
I am sorry, Erica.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
You believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do.
There it was, that's that's it, a selfless act of graces.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It a Trump saying that Ukraine, with NATO's help, might
be able to win back land taken by Russia.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Are you surprised to hear that admit, do you think.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
That NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they
enter their airspace?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The finish answer is to be cool, calm and collected,
take a salma, take an ice bath, take the right action.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Don't take tail and all there's no downside, don't take it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I fear that we will not have an election in
twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I really mean that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
When Democrats like Gavin Newsom, what they're doing is encouraging
crazy people to go and commit violence.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Unless a rhetoric stops, is not over. And it's just
it's scary.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
And maybe I was being too cautious with a great
deal of sadness about also the fact, what's that it
might have been a risk.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Let's look on merit, and I can tell you on
merit he's a failure, and on merit she's a failure.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Trump was right about everything.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but
it's true. I've been right about everything to all of
these predictions. They were made by stupid people. The wind
doesn't blow. I'm really good at this stuff. The countries
are going to hell. These are the two things I
got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a
(21:06):
bad teleprompter, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah. Trump gets talked about so much and too much.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
But I heard a good back to back earlier this
week somewhere long clips of Charlie Kirk's wife and her
amazing moving speech that was not about politics. It was
all about redemption and Jesus and forgiveness and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Back to back with Trump's. You know what, I hate
my enemies. I hate him. I know I shouldn't, but
I do. Maybe you can talk to America about I
hate him. I hate him and I want him to fail.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
And that is one of the I mean, nobody, no
other politician in the history of America would have gone
on that stage after her speech and said that. And
it worked for him, right, It made him true, bigger,
stronger in his own crowd.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, it's just he just he. That is an
amazing political trick. Yeah, you're right, it's just completely unique.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
On the other hand, I would like to submit to
you that Kamala Harris is the most consistently entertaining entertainer
in the history of the world, more consistent than the Beatles.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Jerry Seinfeld he'd have to have a bracket.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
And had come down with different entertainers and to have
Kamala Harris versus Frank Sinatra and her vote.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Right, Frank had his off moments put out a couple
of albums that were a little bit flat, but Kamala
never fails to entertain. Gone now her parenthetical speaking is
just wow, it's amazing. Somebody can't fix that for her.
Come for the gobblede, stay for the cook's amazing.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
So what I want to hear, I actually want to
hear this.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What's your theory on why Pete Hagszth, Secretary of War,
I keep forgetting to say that because that's actually what.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
It well it's not actually what it is now, it's.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What the sign says on his door, but Congress hasn't
actually approved it yet. The Secretary of War, Pete Haggsth
called all the generals and admirals and everybody together and
with no revealing why.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
So what happened? Escape room party?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Everybody says, I don't want to do that, but when
they get there, they have a great time.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So that's my thing. Right, there's a gift bag at
the end, right, Yeah, it's fun. It really is. Fun.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
No, the theories are either unveiling a big new national
defense strategy, emphasizing the Western hemisphere, that whole spheres of influence,
a giant master plan. We've been discussing the trumpet times.
Seems like he's leaning toward and some people think it's
(24:00):
just going to be some sort of big overhaul of
the Pentagon in some way. But no, no, nobody knows.
In fact, the theories are just theories. I haven't even
seen any decent leaks. One of the you'd think there
would be leaks. One of the thinkers at the party
last night was speculating that it was to frighten Russia.
Although unless it's coordinated with the timing of something else, I.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Don't know why you would have any effect.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Putin hasn't been afraid of anything but COVID since he
was eleven years old. He's the iceman. It'll be interesting
to see. I hope it's, you know, big ish. If
you're like, you know, running the seventh Fleet way the
hell out in the Pacific and you're told you got
(24:50):
to be in Washington Tuesday, that's that's that's a big deal.
And we have many, many generals and admirals around the world.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I don't know what the total number is.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If you no how many people, this is a hell
of a lot. So I don't know how to handle
the whole James Comy thing. I think it's just from
the legal experts that I read that are conservatives that
just from a law standpoint, it's not likely to get
a conviction from a don't cry any tears.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
From Comy's standpoint, though there's a lot there. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Mark Halpern and his newsletter today talking about everything that
has happened throughout the however many years with Trump and
the back and forth in the legal department and all that,
and he said, and where was James Comy floating above
it all, halo polished by podcasts and cable hits, framed
as the dutiful boy scout against the Orange menace, the
irony rights itself. The public sees the claresy protect its own,
(25:52):
and they start to want, yes, a pound of flesh,
not torches and pitchforks. Lawful accountability, hearings with teeth inspectors
general with bite phisor reforms that don't evaporate at cocktail hour,
naming names, mapping processes, clawing back authorities, the bureaucracy assumed
was theirs by birthright, and he goes through all the
you know, clearly lying to the Phisi Court about getting
(26:19):
warrants to be able to search various people leak in
the Steele dossier. So then he could say there are
reports out there, mister President, I need to tell you, Yeah,
there reports out there because.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You leaked them.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I mean, the whole thing is so flip and phony,
and he's never had to pay a price for it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Who were you quoting just then, Mark Alprin's writing, Oh,
that's really good. That's really good writing. Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's you know, this is mostly exhausting to me in
that First of all, you have the never ending when
one side pushes the bounds of any sort of restraint
in the executive branch, you have the other side saying,
oh my god, it's horrible. And then they switch sides
(27:02):
and the other side pushes the bounds of what the
executive ought to be doing, and they say this is good,
and just the other side says, oh my god, that's horrible.
Or then they switch again and the roles are reversed,
and it keeps moving in the same way. Yeah, well,
we say this is good in just because look what
they did last time, which is true, but we end
up in a race to the bottom, as I keep saying,
(27:23):
we just go further down the road of no norms and.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Discourse. That's just you're an fing liar.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
No, you're an fing liar, right, And in the past
the idea that and a lot of people are saying
this with a perfectly straight face, and I would hope
this is the sort of thing you come to us for,
not that quit with the old.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You know, cliched half lies. I just I don't have
any patience for them anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
For instance, the idea that there is a high wall
of separation between the Oval Office and the Department of Justice,
that's half true. It reminds me of speed limits. It
says seventy so you don't go one hundred, but everybody's
going seventy.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Five to eighty to eighty five. Whatever you say.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
There's a separation between the president and the Justice Department,
so things don't get too obvious and too over the top,
like I don't know, prosecuting your enemies because you're pissed
off at them. But it happens, but it's kept within
a certain level of lawlessness.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
This is a step toward.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
No, you're just your job is to prosecute and or persecute,
depending on your point of view my opponents, Now go
do it, and if you won't, like the guy in
the Eastern District of Virginia, if you won't, I'll fire
you and get somebody a will right or not prosecute
my friends or family. In the case of Hunter Biden,
and you had people, you know, whistleblowers in the Justice
(28:51):
Department saying in any other case, we would have done this,
but we didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Hear right. There are lots and lots of examples for it.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As you often say, Jack, until you're calling out your
own side, save your crocodile tears doesn't help. So here's
a practical This is a life hack, ironically, because it's
like anti hacking TransUnion. Just to confirm the breach, over
four million people affected. That's a wake up call for you, friends.
(29:18):
These breaches happen a lot, and that's why we strongly
suggest you use Webroot total protection. It's not just antivirus,
it's identity for protection from up to ten people, dark
web monitoring, up to a million bucks in fraud expense reimbursement.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
A lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Companies get hacked, then your information is out there. You know,
webroot they actually scan the dark web looking for your
info to see if it's out there and can help
you out with that, which is pretty pretty cool. Webroot
Total Protection identity protection for up to ten people, dark
web monitoring as I said, and up to a million
dollars in fraud expense reimbursement, plus twenty four to seven
US based support, elder fraud hotline, VPN, cloud backup, anti virus,
(29:57):
the whole package and as much mo more efficient than
the a lot of the other guys that runs a
lot faster. Get fifty percent off webroot Total Protection or
webroot Essentials at webroot dot com slash armstrong. That's webroot
dot com slash armstrong one more time, webroot dot com
slash armstrong. Looking at our picture from the party last
(30:18):
night that I posted, you know what most people commented
about you, Michael.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What how thin you look? Yeah, congratulations on your thinness.
Thank you. That's out of necessity, out of health. There
was a fair amount of how old some of us look.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But what are you gonna do about it, Hanson, can
you take that down and photoshop me into it.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I don't want rumors to start that, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I'm like dad, Like Paul McCartney's second Beatles reference of
the half hour. I remember the last party similar to this.
I wasn't there because I had COVID.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Remember that. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's there. A
bunch of pictures splitting around where I wasn't there. That's
on my my dB, my deathbed.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
We've got mail bag on the way and a bunch
more news of the day that we've got to get
to stay here.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Strong.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, who just spoke at the UN He had set
up giant loud speakers around Gaza City, blasting his speech
in to hopefully be heard by other Palestinians and the hostages.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
He said, which is in haw interesting plan.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, indeed, more on that to come. Plus we
have promised a couple of times and we'll pay off.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Next hour.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Various thinkers and sages and experts talking about the indictment
of James Komy and what it means and how likely
it is to succeed, and the sins of Komi and
just the good imagine this. We'll bring you all sides
of the story and of the question, so you understand
what's going on. Here's your freedom loving quote of the
day from writer Brendan O'Neill, who wrote a piece recently
(31:45):
about what he characterized is Britain's working class uprising. I
was talking about this a little bit yesterday, how the
ruling class in Britain, which is the protected class, it
can unleash all sorts of policies on the country that
it never feels it's not living next to some migrant
hotel where rape gangs are victimizing their daughters, and on
(32:10):
and on, the whole bizarro queer thing. There are no
men in their wives dressing rooms anyway, he writes. I
wonder if it is the destiny of the English to
do with peaceful protest what Donald Trump has done with
executive orders, push out all the destructive eccentricity that has
(32:32):
self identified as wisdom these past few years. There's a
brilliant gender critical group called sex Matters. To that we
might now add borders matter, and sovereignty matters, and communities matter.
That's what I hear working class communities saying right now
to there are too often indifferent superiors.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
We matter. Well, that's why I know you don't pay
attention to this and why would you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
But British politics, it's expected that the Reform part is
going to win the next election and have a prime
minister from their party, probably that Nigel LeFarge Defarge.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And that's a huge deal. That'd be like a third
party winning in the United States, which.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Is why the left is so desperate to let children vote,
because that might usher usher in the far left party,
left of labor, I mean, oh ugliness mailbag, drop us
a note mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com.
Here's your meme of the day, sent along by somebody
or other. It's Obama throwing his head back and laughing.
(33:37):
And the caption is when you preach climate change, income, inequality,
and racism are America's biggest problems, yet you buy a
fifteen million dollar mansion on the water in an all
white neighborhood. Boy, Yeah, how about this. On the topic
of TMJ's trained monkey jobs, Trained monkey jobs came up
(34:01):
at the party last night. Everybody was discussing what job
have you had that a somewhat trained monkey could have
done when you were younger? Right, we got a number
of responses. I liked this one from Jeff Listener from
day one. Thanks Jeff, guys unloading rocks from a semi
pick up a rock, walk to the opening, toss the
rock out, repeat for six hours. Yes, I had that
(34:23):
kind of job too, and seriously, a monkey could do it.
In fact, the monkey would might say this is beneath
me and swing away on the branches.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yes, yes, if it had any sense.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Anonymous writing on the topic of this was part of
the Armstrong and Getting One More Thing podcast from yesterday,
talking about different ways to achieve sobriety, among other topics,
and he says, my wife has been using now trek
Zone for quite a while now.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
It's been extremely helpful.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
It essentially blocks the dopamine hit you get from either
drinking or opioids, and it makes the experience of intoxication
simply a physical chore, not an enjoyable experience. From the
it seems to have simply helped her rewire her emotional
relationship with alcohol. No longer fixes bad feelings, doesn't make
the party more lively, and drinking out of boredom is
just an immediate nap.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Do you take it every day or that doesn't make
that clear. Signs off.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
This is where I'd like to insert some astute observation
about the human condition, but it's late and I'm dumb.
I just wonder because I keep thinking about my sugar things.
Since I can't taste sugar, that makes me want to
eat more sugar. I wish I could find a way
around that.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Interesting, Oh we talked about that too, Tom and so
col wrights guys. Kamala Harris's book tour comments or just
reinforcing her lack of qualifications to hold most any job,
please the presidency, no individual thought. Excuse after excuse, general
lack of awareness and leadership, not to mention the insult
that Americans would never accept a black woman running with
a gay man.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
What we care about at this stage, after enduring the
Biden Harris regime.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
The corruption and the damage done is.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
That all political parties pick qualified Americans, qualified, regardless of race, sex,
sexual preference, or whatever new category you come up with
next next time. Enough racism, sexism, misogyny. No, you weren't qualified,
and it was blatantly obvious. I don't know if she
knows it yet, but her book tour this week I
think killed any chance of her being able to run
(36:19):
for president. She put the final nail in the coffin
of her political career. It's hilarious to me that anybody
who thought that those hopes were alive in a real way.
But if they were, you're right, this ended it.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Wild Huh.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
You put out a book hoping to run for president
and it ends your political career. We got a lot
more on the way.
Speaker 2 (36:35):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
