Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty Armstrong and
Jet and No Key Arms get live from studio. See

(00:48):
please Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
It is a dimly lit room where deep within the
bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound today we're
under the tutelage of our general manager. Excited about anything,
I thinking maybe Pam Bondi going after domestic terrorists.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, the biggest political is in Rock. I like, I
love that story. I want to talk about that. Definitely
Rock in the Oval office yesterday, and and I like
his cause or at least an attempt to do something
about it. The biggest political story is definitely the Supreme
Court election in Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, if you care about that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Elon says all of civilization hangs in the balance because.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Of it, and uh, you know, maybe he's right. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
The Democrat is up by seven points according to the
polic came out yesterday, though, so I don't like the
chances of the Republican winning not good. And I heard
they had this reporting on MSNBC this morning. You never
know if it's true or not.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
This.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
John Heilman had it, and it could be true, but
could not be true.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
He's a liberal that republic he says.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Republicans, a lot of Republicans in d behind the hill,
behind the scenes, really want the Democrat to win, just
to take the wind out of the sales of Elon
Musk and make him a little less powerful and little
less feeling like he controls the world, because they feel
like he's doing them harm and that the midterms are
gonna end up being are you up four or against

(02:20):
Elon Musk, and that they feel like they'll lose because
of that. Whether now, whether or not that's one Republican
that thinks that or a lot or none, I have
no idea, but that was the reporting on MSNBC.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, that's not a crazy point of view. It's a
little double REVERSI for me, I know there are a
lot of Republicans who are on the receiving end of
a lot of the phony grants from the Biden Green
News Steel legislation who are now fighting to keep that
money flowing in from the Feds as their only real
principle is give me mine and get me reelected. Well,

(02:54):
if that's their complaint, then screw them, well, right, But
I don't know. So you're gonna tell me that the
Democratic Party doesn't like George Sorows weighing in on all
these elections with gazillions of dollars because elections end up,
you know, because he ends up being a boogeyman for
republic Is.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I doubt it.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, like I said, it's like I said, it seems
very double reversy to me. I don't know if somebody
does think in those terms. You know, congratulations to them
and their sophisticated political analysis, But it seems like.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
You're trying too hard. I or they're trying too hard.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I had some really interesting conversations last night with a
handful of fellas who ranged from a physician to a
contractor to a different contractor, and everybody was just thrilled
with having heard their entire lives. We need to get
rid of waste, fraud, and abuse and redundancy. Federal government's

(03:48):
just so inefficient their whole lives. They've been hearing that
and never seen a damn thing done about it.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Just see what I just did. No, I know how
you feel about it. I just put cream in my coffee.
Wow makes you feel just a little bit less. You know,
you have less of a feeling about me, because you
said if you see somebody put a guy put cream
in his coffee, it diminishes your view just a little bit.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, it's a little fancy, Michael, I was singing the
same thing. I know.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
And like I said last week, the weird thing is
I put cream in my coffee all the time, mostly
because it's easier on my stomach.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
That's the main reason.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
But uh, every time I put cream in my own coffee,
I feel a little diminished about myself.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's my view of myself goes down.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's a little My friend shows up late to watch
an NFL game because he had to loofah his feet.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Ish had to exfoliate just a little bit, like just
a little though. Sorry, I couldn't help you build the fence.
I had to exfoliate my feet. My heels were really rough.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, oh hey, no worries. We got her done.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
How are your heels? Yes, Katie's.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm judging you. Next thing it is Carmel venti latte.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right, you know, right, nice stefense.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, this summary is gonna be saying, look, silk panties
breathe better in the hot weather.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, I chave.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh well, yeah, that's fine, it's better for your stomach.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I but back to what you were saying, Uh, most
regular people, or at least half of the country, loves
the idea of cutting hand the waist.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Out of the stuff. So we'll see how that turns out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
So the idea is that, you know, Elon, he's got
too much power, he's running rough shot with the rank
and file.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, I don't see that.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
One hundred almost one hundred million dollars has been spent
on this Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, most expensive by
far ever in history of America. I mean, that's a
ton of money for a you know, little state in
the middle of nowhere for their Supreme Court race. But
all the noise on the left anyways, him, you know,
the world's richest man, which is always a phrase that

(06:06):
gets into every story trying to buy this.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, he's spent twenty million.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
What about the other eighty million, which I'm sure you
know around fifty of it is probably spent by Democrats.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
What about that?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Whether it comes from a billionaire or somebody with JB.
Pritzker from Illinois, he's almost a billionaire. He's spent a
ton of money, So I don't know. Whatever he says.
Shut up with that noise. I know, I know, it's
so phony. It's just a dopey, dopey argument. But dopey,
dopey voters fall for dopey dope arguments, so you just
have to get used to it.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
But it is frustrating, right, I mean, you've got this postmodernist,
call um woke whatever judge who has a completely different
point of view than any you know, quote unquote liberal
has ever had until the last you know, fifteen years when.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
The crazy critical theory.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Postmodern neo Marxist left caught on in education blah blah blah.
And he's a person of that school of thought. And
there's just no compromise. There's no reconciling with people who
think like that. You can't meet them halfway. They want
to tear down civilization.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
We gotta start the show officially because I got a
question about this clip we're gonna play.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, put the fancy cream in my coffee. It's not flavored,
is it?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Okay, all right, okay, that's gonna walk out. Who are you?

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'm Jack Armstrong's he's Joe Getty on this. It is hey,
it's April first Tuesday, April first year, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
The rent is due. We are arm rent. It's too
damn clear, Armstrong getting we approve of this program.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
All right, let's begin unleashing what we do precisely according
the FCC rules and regulations. We will not be making
any idiotic, practical jokes because we are grown a men.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
As they say, Let's begin at mark.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I've made it clear if you take part in the
wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla property, we will find you,
arrest you, and put you behind bars.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Now is that including?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
For instance, just last evening, I was reading about a
story out of the San Francisco Bay Area in beautiful Nevato, California,
where Mmm, some scumbag, what did he do? He slashed
the tires and spray painted. I think Tesla is a
cyber truck causing many, many, many dollars in damage.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Well, that's what I wonder is an.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Individual thing he's Is that going to be prosecuting this
domestic terrorists?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't well, I don't know if legally you can
or not. That's what I want to know it is.
I don't know why it. I mean, that's their goal.
They're they're you know, spreading spray painting Nazi on your tesla,
so that people will be scared to buy tesla's or
you'll get rid of yours, right, I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
That's not terrorism or domestic terrorism. I think you could
make an argument that it is. It's not nearly as
serious and significant as say burning across on the lawn
of a black person, for instance, or you know, or
spray painting KKK or something like that. But it is
an effort to intimidate politically, I mean, not only intimidate

(09:18):
in the emotional way that people mostly use the word,
but causing you a serious financial laws. Well, I can
tell you, yeah, I can tell you every single person
I brought up when I was thinking about buying this vehicle.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I just bought.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Every person I brought it up to said, boy, you're
sure you want to do that? With what everybody's doing.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
So people are factoring in their buying the second biggest
buying decision you make in your life behind a house, Yeah,
factoring in the fear of the way people react politically
to what you drive.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
How is that not domestic terrorism.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well right, yeah, I would agree, and I'm glad the
Justice Department is taking a serious look at it and
being fairly aggressive because this sort of thing could get
way out of hand and distort the political process. Now
you are not a protected class quote unquote, although you
do put cream in your coffee, so.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
You're edging torn one. I was an essential worker during COVID.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Right right, what now you use us and you throw
us away, right.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Bravely coming in day after day.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
God, for a long time I had my essential worker
badge hanging off my rear view mirror. I need to
get that back out again.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Happen to be listening to an interview with the Jay
Botachari on the way in the Great Dissident doctor Researcher,
co signer of the Great Barrington Declaration, talking about those
years and the insanity of the damage to children, the
working class and the poor and the rest of it.
Will I will never stop preaching about that. It's just

(10:54):
so evil. Give someone power and then watch them like
a vicious dog, because power just perverts people's minds, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
So we should get We got Katie's headlines on the way,
We got mail bag. Later.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
We got some news of the day that'll be fun.
Went to a baseball game last night. I want to
talk a little bit about the going to a baseball
game experience.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
You eat two hot dogs and have a chocolate shake,
you don't feel that good.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh, I can tell you that.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Speaking of being a grown ass man, I'm a mad
I did not feel good.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
One hot dog and a chocolate shake, or two hot
dogs no chocolate shake. I think I'd have been Okay, yeah,
you're you're on the edge. But yeah, two dogs in
a chocolate shake. I felt like I was gonna vomit
driving home. Child, Yeah, that was rough anyway. Katie's Headlines
on the Way text line four one five nine KFTC.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Speaking of billionaires, I don't need to use my scary
voice because most of you admire billionaires and wish you
could be one. The Forbes list of billionaires is out,
and it's pretty interesting who's on it.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
People that have made the list now or people have
dropped off mean something about the world economy and that
sort of thing. Kind of interesting. We'll get to that later.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
That sounds very interesting.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Got Freedom lom we Quote of the day mail bag,
all sorts of good stuff to talk about in the news.
There's Kid Rock in the Oval office. Yes, what about outfit?
Look at that? How great is that? I would need that?
Seriously let out to fit into it. He's a thin man,
but I love that. Let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with Katie Green. Oh, that's right.

(12:29):
I knew I had something I wanted to mention coming up.
Serious analysis of how Trump could serve a third term.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
It is doable.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Wow, we've studied this. I've studied it. There are ways
I will explain them. Katie, what's happening?

Speaker 4 (12:48):
All right, Let's start with USA today. Wisconsin Supreme Court
election comes with high stakes and huge spending.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I don't know if the Democrats up by seven in that, Polly,
I don't know how good the polling is in Wisconsin
about Supreme Court races state by state is notoriously unreliable.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
But it's not a great sign.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
From the New York Post, Ice arrested one hundred and
thirteen thousand deported over one hundred thousand since Trump's return
as he keeps his promise to boot illegal migrants.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Which, as we pointed out, yesterday, and the CBS poll
is pretty dang popular.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
And PR's got a story going about all these poor, unfortunate,
innocent people are caught up in the over zealous roundup
of green card holders and the visa holders and the
rest of it, and how tragic it is, and their
families are worried. And their first example is a woman
who was convicted of embezzling from her company. You know,

(13:48):
he come to the country, you get whatever she had,
or maybe a green carn or whatever, and you commit
a felony.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
And then when the administration says.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Now we don't want your kind, they act like it's
just an indefensible outrage.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Right From Fox News, Musk shares mind blowing chart showing
two point one million non citizens given Social Security numbers
under Biden.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Wow, I haven't seen that. A full look. Can't do it.
We'll report more later.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
From Reuters, Trump says TikTok sale deal to come before
the Saturday deadline.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Really, the polling has changed on TikTok more people now
want to keep it around, which is weird.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well, keep it.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Around, just sell it to an American company.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
From The Independent, Bergham says they're certainly room.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
For Trump's face on Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh my god, boy, he was asked, and what was
he supposed to say? Ugh, the question is dumb, but
what was his answer supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I mean, that's.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Pretty well handled, obviously, honestly for an obvious trap. Well
there's room. Yeah, it is trap. That's exactly what it was.
I mean, it's some mountains, so yes, there is room.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
It reminds me of that meme from when Nancy Pelosi
said Biden should be up there and they put him on.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
But his face was backwards. It was just the back
of his head. Oh my god. Oh.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
From Hid Party, Canada slaps tariffs on flame throwers, manity meat,
fake beards, and live.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Monkeys in response to Trump.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Right, live monkeys, live monkeys, a deceased monkey.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
You can still purchase the regular press.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Thank god, my frozen monkey wholesale business will be untouched.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
And you can still get your nanity meat. So everybody,
everybody's fine.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Wow from study fines.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Don't walk around northern California saying you're looking for manit
he meat.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
People will misunderstand you. Yeah, sorry, back to you.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I overnighted my monkey to get it in under the deadline.
Oh good, saved me a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Good study fines, freezing fountain of youth. Just one week
of cold plunges could slow down aging at cellular level.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
What if we find out, like our friend who said
he's never slept better, that cold plunging is like the
best thing you can possibly do for some reason.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Because I just don't know if they can do it.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I was just reading the American Heart Association saying be
careful can give you a heart attack.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
They got to say that what can't? Yeah, what can't?

Speaker 2 (16:20):
What do you ever do in your life that doesn't
say a good cause? All right, scoffers, enjoy your heart
going for bluey.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
And finally the Babylon Bee Lego introduces California home set
where kids fill out a permit and wait two years
for approval. Oh that's so good.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I came up against something the other day and I
thought this, we I wish we could figure out the
tort reformer, whatever the hell it would be, so you
could get actual warnings for things, because every warning does
have to include every possibility to keep them out of
a legal jam so they become worthless.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Right, Yeah, may.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Cause dizziness, may cause this may cause, may cause incited excitability,
may make you tired, may you know?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
So it doesn't do you any good. Is there a
name for that principle? It's got to be the overly
broad warning. Therefore no warning is worth anything?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, you know what, did you tease something that was fantastic?
Third term?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
All right, more mega than maga, folks, I'll explain.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Oh my god, Armstrong and.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
The Trump administration is reportedly looking for corporate sponsors for
the White House Easter egg role. Yeah, that's how bad
egg prices are right now. It's either cancel the event
altogether or welcome kids to the White House egg roll
presented by Toastinos.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Ex at expensive You see, I've heard that.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, hasn't really caused as much damage in my family
as you'd think, judging by popular culture.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Eat oatmeal for a while when eggs dat. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So President Trump is clearly trolling when he says he
isn't joking considering a third term in office.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
They're way, he said. You know, we could have grabbed a.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Sound of him making jokes about this, and I think
he is making jokes.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
But he said, look, there are ways.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
There are people who believe that we're looking into it.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's too early to talk about Well they led.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
I don't know how many newscasts I saw yesterday led
with this really yeah and yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:32):
How long are you going to let him jerk you
around as lies? It gets clicks and views? I guess
maybe that's well, yeah, yeah, Trump horror is like the
greatest viewer and clickbait gimmick in the last century.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Probably anyway you want to.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Drive him crazy, just say eight more years or twelve,
four years, sixteen would.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Do it good. You'd really drive him into the looney bin.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
So I must admit I thought he was trolling, and
part of my evidence was that impossible for him to
serve another term.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
But it turns out it is not.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
So it popped into my head when I heard him
say that, I thought, I wonder if it's worded as
two consecutive terms, is it or not? No. Twenty second
Amendment nineteen fifty one. In the wake of FDR, everybody
knows this right. No person shall be elected to the
office of the President more than twice.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
FDR doesn't get dinged for that at all.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Well, never throughout history, you never hear anybody ding him
for he stuck around. He broke president because he thought
he was so important he needed to stick.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Around, the indispensable man.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, after prolonging the Great Depression, ballooning the size of
the government, threatening to pack the Supreme Court if they
adhered to the constitution.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's monstrous anyway.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
So there is no debate that the twenty second Amendment
renders Trump ineligible for election to a third term, and
in the would he be eighty two and most we'll
see that's I was going to get there eventually, although
his energy.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Is just insane, shocking. He's like he's in his sixties anyway.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
In somebody else's sixties, not mine. Most yeah, no, kidding, yeah.
Most scholars point to the twelfth Amendment, which states, quote,
no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President will
be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States,
Meaning Trump can't run as somebody's VP and then have

(20:32):
them resign and then he becomes president. He was an
elected president for the third time. He became president because
he was VAP.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
They have one.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Who is this Written by Bruce Peabody, Professor Government Politics
at Fairleigh Dickinson University, which happens to be my parents
alma mater in beautiful North Jersey. He wrote an article
and it said he said, it is not obvious Trump
is limited eight years of service. The way of historical evidence,
legal analysis, and constitutional texts add up to make this

(21:05):
the most defensible reading. I think he's wrong. Most other
legal scholars say, no, it's self evident. The Twelfth Amendment
what it means. So I think this guy's a fringe actor.
And I thought, why am I wasting my time?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I don't think Trump has any intention of pursuing it.
So quiet you know nothing about show business anyway. But
then I came across this.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
If another Republican is elected president next time, that person
could appoint Trump's secretary of State third in line of succession.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Then you shoot the other two.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, then they resigned, so the Great Donald J can
sendim to the throne again.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
If all the others ahead of the secretary of State
and the line of succession step aside, Well wait a minute,
is President's vice president the Speaker of the House president
pro temoth? Does somebody check where is the secretary of
State in the line of succession? Well, wait a minute,
you can be appointed Speaker of the House yeah, you
don't have to be a congress person. As we discussed

(22:10):
a while back, federal law establishing the presidential line of
succession excludes cabinet officials who are ineligible to be president.
But Congress could loosen that restriction through normal legislation without
amending the Constitution, which is a non starter. Katie, you
got anything or you're just still looking.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Secretary of State is fourth? There you go? Of course?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
You know, I get elected president under the nefarious and
then we'll both resign and Trump will be president again.
And I'm sitting there behind the resolute desk. I'm thinking, yeah,
you know, let's keep thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I won't.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
That's a great plan. I got a couple of things
I would like to do. And Donald, do you seem
comfortable there at the Department of State?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
So I'll get back to you, Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
I don't imagine you give up the reigns of power
that easily if you get elected presidents of the United States.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
So we don't have the audio of this, but this
happened yesterday in the Oval office. Peter Doucy of Fox said, well,
what if Barack Obama runs again? You're running against Barack
Obama and he said, I would love that. I would
love that. Bring that on. So there's a fantastic hypothetical
to throw out there for people Barack Obama running against
Donald Trump and the whole world breaks in half and

(23:27):
we plummet into the sun or something.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
I don't know what happens.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, exactly, Dogs and cats rise on their hind feet
and walked around talking to each other. Yeah right, so
it is theoretically possible, but extremely unlikely.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, well, I'm going to spend zero seconds thinking about that.
The only thing I find amusing, yes, is that he
trolls people and then they jump then leap at the
bait like hungry up And do they leap because they
take him literally but not seriously as the saying goes
or is it what you said? Because their audience is

(23:59):
so literal and they get clicks and views that way.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I think it probably varies sliding scale. I believe there
are people in the mainstream media who believe everything they
say about Trump. I mean, haven't you known people that
say things do things, get attention and eventually catch on
and you start ignoring them. I don't understand why more
people haven't done that though, Right with these things. I mean, if,
for instance, some if Tim Walls is who's continues to

(24:27):
be at least on the fringes of the scene, which
is hilarious to me. But if a Tim Wall says
something plainly click baity Elon Musk should be executed for treason, right,
you know, I know it's ridiculous, but we'll bring you
that story because we wouldn't have a full panel discussion

(24:47):
with legal experts and everything if it were serious, right, right, right. So,
I think there are some people who actually believe what
they shriek about Trump and others who are just cynics
and they think, oh man, this will hook them all.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, So Joe and I were at the A's baseball
game last night, and I was there with my son.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
He got several compliments as we were.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Walking around running into people that knew me on his mullet,
which he was very happy about.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yes, he loves people complimenting on his air. Yeah, so
that was the highlight of him, since he's not that
into baseball that people complimented his hair.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I don't know what that means. You know, it's funny,
as he has wavy hair.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
It hadn't even Donna of course, I was mostly sitting
next behind him and leaning forward to chat with him,
but it didn't strike me as very mulletish. Honestly didn't
get the full front view, gotcha. Yeah, I attempted to
influence his classic rock leanings.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Did he mention that?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Good, He kept it to himself. He was good.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Mum gave him a little advice while I was out
getting the hot dogs. Yes, that's funny. Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'm trying to turn him against you.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Uh sure, a lot easier having one kid who likes
the same music as me as opposed to a man.
Sam and I did the road trip to get my
uh my new vehicle, and I told him, you know,
you can have Ox on the way back and listen
to whatever you want. Oh my god, two hours his
music was rough?

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Is that the hippie hop? Ox by boy auxiliary?

Speaker 3 (26:20):
That's what you people call it if they get to
choose the music or they get to hook their phone up.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, I really need a glossary to have this conversation.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
So he had Ox and uh play uh Playboy Carti
and Tupac and just stuff like that. And I'm not
anti that music, but I just I can't do two
hours of it and it's just it's just nonstuff. That's
that's all I get out of it. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Oh, speaking of hippie hop music, uh alert listener sent
us a video of Kanye doing an interview the other day.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
He was in a clan robe, a ku kluck, a
black one.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Speaking of doing things provocative obviously to get attention, and
you start to ignore them.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah yeah, I although I think he's actually like seriously
mentally ill.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah, he's way around them. He's for real crazy. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
But you can't react to each one of his things
like it means something. The meaning has already been decided.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
You're nuts. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, as a media weasel, I was watching the guy
interviewing him, and they were standing for some reason, chatting
with each other on this podcast or whatever video of
some sort, and I could read the guy's face. It
was like, this is so effing crazy. But here I
am a guy who talks about hip hop music and
culture and here's Kanye West, right, So I got.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
To talk to him, one of the biggest music stars ever.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
But he's literally in a clan robe with just his
eyeslits and his voice. You know, I ought to send
hands in the audience just so his voice is like
coming through the hood. Wow, So I'm really interested in
your new album. Before we get to the I just
have to ask, what's the delio? What's the clan robe? Yeah,

(28:05):
well that's the other part of it he was talking about.
I can only infer that he was talking about that
at one point and his rambling turning on itself nonsense.
Was that of somebody experiencing psychosis. Wow, it was random
thoughts strung together in ways that only he understood.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Shocked he's still alive.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, evidently he hasn't money and people enough to protect him.
But he's so clearly needs some sort of conservatorship right
where he'll end up Dad.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
But he's got he's a billionaire. Yeah, that'd be difficult.
You make the Forbes list. Oh to check.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
We've got a mail bag on the way, and then
we'll get into some more the news. Some of the
international stuff is pretty dang interesting.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Also. I hope you can stay here. I didn't see
the Daily.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Show last night because we're at the baseball game, but
apparently talked about Trump claiming he could have a third term.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I just saw the headline.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
John Stewart mocks Trump's claim there are methods to serve
a third term. Historically, some of them involve catapults.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
That's pretty amazing. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Just to be ornery, I've chosen a handful from Elon
musk Ooh, Hitler a lot of goods.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I really don't see that. He wore a cheese hat
just like Hitler did.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
A couple of quotes. People work better when they know
what the goal is and why. It is important that
people look forward to coming into work in the morning
and enjoy working.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
If you want to achieve great things, yeah, yeah, I
like this one. Pay attention to negative feedback and solicit it,
particularly from friends. Hardly anyone does that, and it's incredibly helpful.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
How do you go about doing that? I go to
my friends, say tell me something you don't like about me,
or like, what are my faults? What we do? Tell
me what my faults are? What was bad about the
show today? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
You know, I'm not an engineer. I don't design material things.
So I will tell you this, whether i'll you know,
I'll put it apart from what we do for a
living as a musician. You gotta be careful because if
you pick the wrong person, they'll destroy your confidence and
you'll just be ruined.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
I don't think it works with creative ventures.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
I think you're right because it's all eye the beholder,
whereas like building a aerodynamic car right might be different.
Or Elon Hay, your last rocket blew up and killed
all the astronauts. I'm thinking maybe a rocket that doesn't
blow up and kill everybody. And he'd rub his chin
and think, you know, I think you're onto something there.

(30:52):
It's a different field. Finally, this some people don't like change,
but you need to embrace change. If the alternative is disaster,
that's a good That's a really good one that's been
ignored Washington for a long time. Mailbag, if you would
like to correspond with us, drop us a note mailbag
at Armstrong in getty dot com. I'd meant to grab one,

(31:15):
and I didn't.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Sorry, it changed my mind on it. It was harshly,
harshly a critical of.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Us in kind of a funny way.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Maybe another time, let's see.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Matt writs, Guys, it's been a few years, but Joe,
you once spun a brilliant allegory about socialism that was
so fantastic.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I remember thinking of the time it should be required
listening for all Americans. Wow.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
It was about a dairy farmer who produced milk and
how government intervention caused supply and demand issues for the farmer. Therefore,
also with the farmer who made butter than the beef
producer and saw on downline. It perfectly illustrated the inevitable
downfalls of socialism. And I've not been able to find
the podcast, however, I'd love to hear you retell it
at some point. Love the show, Thanks man. Did anybody

(32:01):
remember that? Sure it wasn't Mark Levin, No, that it's
vaguely famil. I wonder could have been from one of
Tim Sanderver's books. I don't know it's I have a
vague memory of it. I searched and searched and searched.
I couldn't figure out what it was. Obviously it made
an impact on us.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, you know what.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I do remember it vaguely, but I couldn't find it.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Ah, I would like that. Yeah, if if.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Anybody remembers it more distinctly, and many of you often do,
drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and getdy
dot com because I remember it being incredibly persuasive. Nick
from Wisconsin writes, how did you guys talk about increasing ntes?
That's a Friday Last Friday show, night time erections. Somebody

(32:49):
made a reference to that. I don't remember talking about
that improving it improves your Oh it was a New
York Post headline. Right, yeah, right, And he said, without
bringing up the story of the Chinatown paint brush, I
believe to be one of the strangest, most mysterious ang
stories you've ever told. And then he signs off. Kp
us O y D keep painting Unknown substances. Hunting your

(33:11):
dingis Nick from Wisconsin.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I do remember this, but back, I do remember this,
but I don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Oh, yeah, there is. And it was recommended by a
by a client of ours. It was a Chinese remedy.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
It works. It really works.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I mean it has but it's a liquid and it
has a tiny little paint brush and you and you
it's like lacquering your own Oh, MyoD enough and it works.
Oh if you could again the look on Katie's face, friend,
I never yes, Katie.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I ordered vague with a side of vague. What are
you guys talking about.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's uh, it's a performance enhancing substance, a traditional Chinese
remedy for the male. Yeah, it's like a thousands year old,
hundreds year old sort of thing, like you know long before.
It's a presensitizing agent, right, yeah, that's what it is.
It Yeah, and it's better for a younger man.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
But if you were brought.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Into the game and wish not to pitch two innings,
but perhaps seven or eight innings, right, yes, yeah, but
it has the best part is it has a little
paint brush, so clearly the best part.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
I don't need the hand signals jacket, get it. Yeah,
she knows what a paint brush is, and I know
where it goes. You paint that on there and it
desensitizes you. You really need to move on. Okay, Sorry,
I asked yes from China and Chinese stores and it's awesome,
all right.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Speaking of that sort of horrifying thing, Don writes a
friend of his from beautiful Farroaks, California, send him this
picture of his son's first grade bathroom. Uh, it includes
a tampon dispenser for the first grade boys who are menstruy.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
You people are actually mentally ill.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
How do you not know that? I agree completely, you're
actually crazy.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yes, yes, you are no longer capable of running your
own life and that of your chill.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yeah, if your first grade son does menstruyway go to
the er. Oh my god, because that's the first time
in human history it's ever happened. Holy cow, nuts. Well,
