Speaker 3 (01:08):
All are free, and all are available on the iHeart
app or wherever you like to download your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So a handful of things I want to get to.
Let me see if I can keep them stars. It
was a ball, bad dog, Bad Dog.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Well, first of all, at some point I would like
to get to how the manipulation of language by progressives
and neo Marxists is not a hey, you know what
else we could do kind of detail that's fundamental to
what they're trying to do, and how incredibly annoying it
is to me how easily people are manipulated to change
(01:42):
their own language, not realizing that they're they've become a
dupe of the left.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Anyway, more on that to come. Promised you We had
one story about neuroscience that's discovered different sorts of love
light up the brain in different ways, not surprisingly. And
I've got another neuroscience story for you too, But first
I meant to tell this yesterday, and I got distracted yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Michael Katie, I'm sure you.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Remember when when some members of the staff who will
go nameless, were making sport of mister Armstrong because he
poured coffee down his front.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
True.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, and we discussed his poor choice of coffee drinking
tools and how they were used. I was drinking out
of a cup with a straw hole, and I didn't
realize it was a straw hole, and when I tried
to drink out of it, it spills down my chest.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And there there was a moment or two when again
certain members of the team were trying to portray mister
Armstrong as some sort of buffoon and correct, I won't
have it. So this Jack, I should have told you immediately.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
This was not.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It was day before yesterday. So I do my workout
with my trainer physical therapist.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Dude. Went great, I'm feeling very physical.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I decided I'm going to go to the practice range
and hit some golf balls, blaze and sunshine.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And so naturally I'm gonna put on some sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I use spray sunscreen because a lot faster on my
arm's legs, that sort of thing. I apply it to
my face and neck by spraying it in my hand
and then applying it like patting it on, rubbing it
around and stuff like that. Well, I was having trouble
getting it out of the bottle because it was almost
almost so I kept spraying and I just closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hold my breath and go like this sh That's the
way I do it. There are days I think I
should do that. I'm maybe be swimming goggles.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'm a bald headed man, so it works fun, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway,
so I spray and I ended up with like way
too much of the liquid spray in my hand.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I go to put it on my cheek. I hurl
it directly into my eyeball. I mean a full eye
wash of sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And if you think it burned like fire, you would
be correct, did you not? How did you miss your face?
Your eye?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well that was the point because because I was distracted.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
By oh, that was just propellant.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I need to angle it like this to spray it,
just trying to get very dregs out of it, because
I'm thrifty, and I ended up with too much in
my palm, and so I had like a mini pool
of it in my palm, and I hurled it directly
into my eyeball. Do you ever take a spoonful of
soup and hurl it over your shoulder or any other neurological.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Not generally no.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
But so I go inside, I throw water in, I
try to rinse it out. I frantically call my wife,
who's with her friends.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Where's her moisturizing guy? Drops? I got something in my eye?
Where are the drops? Next to my sink? Is the
green bottle here? The costanzas?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yes, right exactly, I've got to go.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And so so I put the drops in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And for a long time.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was probably in the bathroom for like twenty twenty
five minutes because it hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'd be a little worried about all kind of damage
that might do.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yes, yes, But after a while I started feeling better,
so I went back out to.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The But your eyes won't.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Get sunburned, which is a good thing, not today anyway,
So I go back out to the the garage, and then,
because I'm just a plucky little fell I successfully apply
the sunburn or the sunscreen rather.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But as I'm doing this, I managed to.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Jostle one of my earbuds out because I was listening
to a podcast, and it falls into one of my
golf clubs that's got like twenty seven spare clubs, and
it goes all the way to the bottom. I'm like, oh,
Shikel Grouper's right, you clown you you Laurel and hearty style.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Before I know it, I've had that too.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You do one of those things, it's like you're, you know,
a physical comedian, but you do by an accdent. But
you do two in a short period of time. It
makes you feel makes you want to sit down on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I'm not yet, I'm not yet at the full mister
bean reality of that day.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So I think, oh god, I got no choice, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I grab my bring my golf bag over here, and
any golfer knows it's got like four putters.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I no longer use five drivers.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I used to own twenty seven clubs, my son's club whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I finally empty it out. That's a lot work.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I turn it upside down to shake my ear butt out,
failing to check whether the zippers were zipped.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, I shake it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Half a dozen golf balls, sixty t's three ball marker,
all cascade all over the garage floor, bouncing out onto
our drive on your cars. Oh god, and I'm thinking
you you are an S club.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I would have given up on golf for all that. Yes,
I would have sat on a walking comedy. I would
have sat on the floor and cried at that point. Yes,
that is funny.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
When the golf after putting the sunscreen in her eyes,
your eye button down, I'm pouring.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That is it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
If somebody had been following you around, they'd have thought,
you need a minder, you need to take care of you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I need to call.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah he doesn't drive, does he?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You know? It's funny though.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We were just talking about neuroscience and what part of
your brain lights up for this, that and the other,
and there's more to come. But at that moment I
realized the emotion I'm feeling right now is the same
one when, like for the third time in the night,
my kid woke up crying and it didn't matter when
I wanted. I had to deal with it, and I
(07:29):
couldn't get frustrated. I couldn't get angry. There was no
point in it. I had to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm two cocktails in and whether Onyx back in the
day or Baxter gets sprayed by a skunk, it's ten.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
To fifteen a night.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I should have been in bed fifteen minutes ago. The
next hour of my life is going to be spent
cleaning off a dog. Doesn't do any good to get mad.
I have no choice. I am going to do it.
So I cleaned up the t's and the balls and
blah blah blah. Ended up having him a very very
good practice session. God after reenacting The Benny Hill Show
(08:00):
in my garage.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
That's right, Michael, Oh, I've never wished that there was
a ring camera.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You talk about going viral.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Oh, that would somebody who put music to that, and
that would be Jimmy Kimmel will be talking about it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It really. Do you think he's done here, don't you?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
No, keep watching, No, keep watching, folks. You think he's
a jackass now? It's so needed, like a curly slapping
at his face. Curly of the Three Streets or or
don't or something.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It was. It was very Homer Simpson esk come to think.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, no, you were that character putting in your eye
yea Simpsons exactly exactly. I've had that before, like spill
coffee down my shirt then hit my head on the
car door getting in or something like that, and he
just sit in the car and think, Okay, there must
be a lesson from God here somewhere about humility or something.
I can't just be a freaking moron. There's gotta be
(08:53):
something deeper going on here.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I love so I love that you said you just
sit down on the floor, because I actually did that
the other day. I had like a series of three
just what the hell is going on? I just sat down,
I said, I obviously just need to sing and not
do anything.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Minimize the damage exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
So anyway to bring it to a close to anybody,
including me, who is trying to portray my friend mister
Armstrong as a buffoon, plays hold my Sun's screen.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Exactly. So I found this so interesting.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I've known for a very very long time I have
a different taste in movies from some of my friends.
I have no desire to watch a horror movie ever
slasher movie, zero desire, my son loves him. He's like
a huge hobbyist slash critic of them no interest. Well,
a new study has uncovered sprising links between our movie
(09:49):
preferences and how our brains process emotions like fear and anger.
They did brain scans on hundreds of healthy individuals as
they viewed various fearful and angry faces and scenes that
sort of thing. They focused on two key brain ridge
in regions, the old amygdala, which plays a central role
in processing emotion, particularly fear and anger, and the nucleus incumbence,
(10:11):
part of the brain's rewards system, and they found different
people have much different reactions neurologically speaking to the same movies,
which is not, you know, crazy surprising, but this was surprising.
They found stark differences between fans of action movies and
those who, like me, prefer crime thrillers or detective thrillers.
(10:35):
Despite both genres often featuring high stake scenarios and negative emotions,
they were associated with opposite patterns of brain activity. Action
movie enthusiasts showed increased activity in the amygdala when viewing
fearful and angry phases and scenes heightened emotional responsiveness suggests
they may be more prone to intense emotional experiences. In contrast,
crime thriller fans exhibited decreased amygdalal activity, including a more
(11:00):
emotional response to the same stimuli.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
So would that lead you to believe that we're genetically
built from birth to like certain kinds of movies and
not of it at first?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Blush?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yes, unless some other neuroscientists could convince me that it's
a combination of like physiology and experience.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, And would it be similar? Possible? Sure? And but
it would it be similar for music?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I wonder that some of the reason, the reason people
some people like dance music and some people like metal
is just similar to the movie thing. It just lights
up a different part of your brain than it does.
That's almost certainly true. Huh, your music sucks. I've belonged.
I believed for a long time music's like wine.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
If you really like it, that's a good one for you.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Right, But I had always and if I don't, that's
got nothing to do with you. I certainly I'd always
assumed it's some sort of cultural taste or something. But
maybe you're born with your brain the pleasure part lights
up when you hear this kind of music, but not
that kind of music.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So it's not a judgment at all, at least in part. Yes,
that's interesting. Huh.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Well, they ever get the genome mall figured out, and
we and we nailed down that we aren't responsible for
like ninety percent of our decisions or behaviors. I don't
know what we're gonna do with that or even like
fifty one percent, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's
that's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Arm Strong.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
So the sun Belt poles came out yesterday, the Blue
Wall State poles are out today. They're all tied. So
we're to tide race. So hit her soap bubble has
her tide. So if it would pop, I have to
assume that would drop you down below tide. Yeah, absolutely true.
(12:55):
Who doesn't love soap bubbles, he writes, especially those a
lot of soap right, Ernie, Who doesn't.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Love soap bubbles, especially those giant ones that seem to
get impossibly big, so impressive in Kamala Harris, the Democrats
have created the biggest soap bubble American politics have ever seen.
The question is can they keep it from popping for
two months they might And then this is the part
I found really interesting. We inhabit a world in which
many people are willing to believe almost anything. This level
of credulity probably hasn't existed since humans lived in forests
(13:25):
and thought they cohabitated with ghosts and witches. I'm reminded
of the video of who was one of your super
geniuses who got the Internet going? Explaining that the internet
should eliminate any belief in things that are not true.
Everyone will have access to information, and therefore everyone will
become much more rational and knowledgeable.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's like, oh, you poor sap. Yeah, oh, anyway, I.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Don't so much have in mind the popularity of political
conspiracy theories such as QAnon or that Trump would be
a dictator on day one, A modern incredulousness arrived with Facebook,
Google in their offshoots. The success of the online platforms
has less to do with their content than it's appearing
on illuminated screens. Skipping ahead, the compulsion to check cell
phone screens is reset. The way people want to experience
(14:13):
their daily lives. With each glance, they are looking for
something new, not just something extraordinary or remarkable, just new.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You're right, which is sad even outside of this political discussion.
But that is right, just anything new. How sad is
that for our own brains? It's sad.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yes, and I'm trying to police myself posting and scrolling
pedestrian photos on Instagram and constantly checking social media feeds.
It proved that the bar for the quality of a
new experience has become very.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Low, but irresistible.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
How else to explain the phenomenon of online influencers. It's
become possible to sell anything for a while. This is
incredibly insightful and troubling.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, I would agree. I mean it's only partly about politics. Yeah,
I'm just thinking about my own brain and habit.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And he's right.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
The bar for this will get my attention is so
much lower than I would like to admit. Yes, wow,
that's embarrassing, easily amused, fascinated by shiny objects. Ah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Then this is my favorite part because it turns it
back to the politics. The Democrat's longest suite in the
manipulation of narratives. Recognize the utility of this obsession with
the new and created Kamala. This is the soap bubble.
It did it with admirable speed. The new Kamala is
a centrist. She's about joy, freedom in the middle class.
She will quote cut red tape. The convention Democrats were
(15:39):
wearing Hunt.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
The Convention Democrats were wearing Hunter's camouflage, waving American flags
and hilariously chanting USA. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a consummate pro,
called the new Harris directional whatever that means.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, It's like the sign in the yard across from
my new cul de Sac that I live in. It's
got a picture of Kamala and it's that Obama blue
red montage color artsy thing and then it just says forward.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That's all it says. Picture, Come a forward, don't cay.
There's a slogan for you. Boy.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That is the Instagram picture. That's not terribly notable. But
I looked at it because I haven't looked at it before.
It's just new mss Harrison. Her acceptance speech described quote
a precious fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness. She
made it sound as if we were actually emerging from
Donald Trump's presidency. Yep, not the fourth unpopular year of
Joe Biden's anyways. Point being this is an Instagram style.
(16:36):
It's new and so it's intriguing. But it's a soap bubble.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It cannot last unless, is he posited in his first
couple of sentences, Somehow the Democrats can keep that bubble
from bursting for two more months, two.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
More months, roughly two more months. Yeah, to get there.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
The Democrats will have the hard job of keeping the
Harris bubble out of contact with hard surfaces. And he
mentions Dana Pash than the debate and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Those are the two biggest points in the next two
weeks anyway, the interview on CNN today and the debate
on September tenth.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You know, And they're trying as hard as they can
to birth for Venus. But among golfers, if you've got
a guy who's like a mid handicap, he's just an
okay golfer and he plays the first four or five holes, great.
There's an old saying that the handicap will show up eventually.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Just wait.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
There's got to be a lot more comfortable for Israel
to be engaging with Hezbolah and then Hamas in both
Gaza and the West Bank, knowing there are two aircraft
carriers right off the coast and forty thousand US troops
in the area.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And though we're on maybe feeling froggy, it will not jump.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No, because if he didn't have that US backstop, they'd
be in a constant worry of Iran's going to launch
the full attack on US any moment.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But they don't have to worry about that now. So
that's the advantage of that.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Speaking of that part of the world, I don't know
how important this story is in a vacuum, but it
is indicative of a lot of things that are wrong
with the government in general. So from that standpoint, it
is very important. There's Jen Griffin on Fox with a
story you might remember tonight.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I'm directing the US military to lead an emergency mission
to establish a temporary peer in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
On the coast of Gaza.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
When President Biden announced he was sending a military peer
known by the acronym JLTS, based in Norfolk, Virginia, to
deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, Pentagon officials were caught by surprise.
According to a new USAID Inspector General report, many US
officials objected to the plan. Quote multiple USAIDS staff express
(19:00):
concerns that the focus on using jylots would detract from
the agency's advocacy to open land crossings in Israel and Egypt,
which were seen as more efficient and proven avenues for
delivering aid to Gaza.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
So, for one thing, the sort of like drive by
media public perception of that whole thing when in the
State of the Union address he threw that out was
correct of like, what does anybody know you're planning to
do that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Would this work?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I mean, all that skepticism turned out to be perfectly accurate, right,
And the emphasis there from Jen Griffin was on strategic questions. Well,
this will detract from the effort to open up much
more efficient avenues, which I get completely. But I remember
in the very early days of this, we got an
email from a military man who'd been involved with jay
lots and he was saying, this will not work, it's
(19:56):
not designed for there and that situation. I can't believe
they're doing it. So it turns out he was one
hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Well, the pup learn.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, the punchline, of course, being as we mentioned a
couple of months ago. They dismantled it after, however, many
months and it never accomplished anything. But here's more from
the Fox report.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
The goal was to deliver enough food for five hundred
thousand Palestinians for three months, but in the end only
enough aid to feed four hundred and fifty thousand for
one month came through the pier. It was operational for
just twenty days and cost two hundred and thirty million dollars.
Within days of being attached along the Gaza coast, the
Mediterranean's rough conditions broke it apart, resulting in twenty two
(20:38):
million dollars in damage.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, there are a bunch of people saying that that
that's not the kind of all right kind of water
where you can build one of those.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah, And so it was that fifteen sixteen million dollars
a day of operation, quarterbacks billion dollars including the damage. Yeah,
accomplished almost nothing. One more, And then I got a question.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Last month, the Pentagon was still publicly defending the temporary peer.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
We delivered nearly twenty million pounds of eight.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
But officials admitted the Doomed project was always known by
the Defense Department to be a near impossible task.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
We know that sea states were going to get worse
as the summer progressed.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is something that was always known.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Sea State's getting worse as the summer progressed. Can I
translate that, Yeah, there are waves there, and this is
no good if there are waves.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
So my question would be, is this ultimately a win?
Would anybody in the Pentagon or the White House say yeah? No,
it didn't work, and we didn't ever actually think it
would work, But we needed to have a big showy
gesture to keep the place from going nuts, to keep
the entire Middle East from going nuts. We tamped that
down by making the big showy gesture, if we're going
to feed these people, there's not going to be a famine. Look,
(21:51):
we're on it. And it worked, did it well? I'm
just think that was just for domestic consumption. You think
so that that that that that definitely could be the
other argument that we had our left wing college kids,
we're going to go nuts. Yes, yeah, I think that's
closer to the truth, just because and again referring to
(22:11):
the first clip of Gen Griffin, it was a pressure
release valve, but the people who are actually interested in
getting the aid in were like, no, no, we don't
want to release the pressure. We need to open up
the land crossings to get serious relief in and this
will make people think that's not essential. Now, whether I'd
be with those people ideologically or not, I don't know,
(22:34):
but yeah, if you're if you're aim was to have
a real effect on the region and certainly the locals,
you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Have done this.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I think it was.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It was.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It was a complete fake.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Virtue signaling incredibly expensive gesture. Yeah, this is pretty common
in warfare. It would be really troubling to be in
the military and be doing things that are a lot
of work and sometimes very dangerous that are just gestures,
either geopolitical gestures or domestic gestures, and sometimes justified, especially.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
If it's geopolitical.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
But you're doing all this work and risk in your life,
and everything that everybody's saying is fake just for an
overall Look we care about this, or or look over.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Here or whatever.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We've got to hold this valley until the regional elections
and that you guys can retreat.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't want to die between now and then. I
like being alive as much as you do, says the
foot soldier.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah and yeah exactly, But man, that.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I two minor a point probably for tonight for Kamala Harris.
But it'd be one of the many questions that because
Joe Biden doesn't answer any questions either. So we're going
from one guy who talked less than any president in
modern history to somebody who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Talk at all.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
But shouldn't somebody in the White House have to say, Hey,
that whole pier thing. According to reporting, nobody told you
was not going to work, so why'd you do it?
Love to hear that. Of course, they'd just say they
just make up some numbers about how it did work.
And I was advised it would work, and it did work, so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Shut up right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Speaking of which, speaking of Biden, I saw this report.
I hadn't gotten it on earlier, but according to a
couple of observers, President Biden was visibly shaking after he
got off Air Force one last week and was unable
to get into his suv on his own. He had
to be helped in by one of his Secret Service agents.
They were helping him in, pushing him in. One then
(24:37):
shielded them from watching cameras before giving him a boost.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And would that shock you if that's true? No, not
at all, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And the Washington Post story that I read earlier in
the week about how he has just disappeared. They got
him as far away from the convention as could be,
no public appearances. The press was not even allowed to
follow him in the way that they normally do. They
were at the back of the motorcade so that he
could go in. The one public thing he did was
he went to church, but they kept the press far
(25:07):
away so nobody saw him go in.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Doesn't that fit with what you.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Just said, Yeah, he is so bad off physically, slash
mentally that we can't have press within one hundred miles
of him because, and this might be perfectly good for
national security reasons, you don't want video going around the
world to president she and putin that he's shaking and
looking lost while president right. Occasionally we'll get an email
(25:32):
or text from people saying, hey, if two radio DJs
figured it out, you don't think China's intelligence services figured
it out.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, well, you're right in a way.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
My sarcastic intervening friend who calls radio DJs. Somebody wrote
almost precisely what I just said the other day as
we were talking about protecting the reality of Biden's went
mental state from the you know, from the world, You're
you know, you're you're mostly right, but you've got to
preserve that doubt. How often is he completely cojent for
(26:06):
how long a period, how bad has his decline been?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You just got to keep those waters cloud.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Oh yeah, seeing it changes everything. See the debate between
Trump and Biden. Two radio DJs and eighty percent of
the country knew that he was in really bad shape
and probably shouldn't be president, But seeing it changed everything.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
And they just don't want to put too fine a
point on it. And I think that's the way it
would be here. Yes, Michael, what would happen if he
were to pass?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Do you think they would tell us or do you
think that you would want to keep his hidden for
security reasons?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You're picturing a week White House at Bernie's. Yeah, and
they got like sticks tied to his arms. I don't
think they'd do that. Puppet strange, I'm doing fine. Just
to ask doctor Jill make him more a loctor. I
think Kamala Harris would be president and run as the
incumbent with incumbent, which would be quite the benefit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Maybe, Okay, Michael, stop it with that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Do you think they'd admit he was dead? Yes, he
was dead. I don't think we're that far down the
road of the deep state.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But so I some days when we when we look
at all these problems and issues and we identify them,
it fills me with the fighting spirit.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Some days it just is exhausting and discouraging. I'm feeling
exhausted and discouraged today. Well in a completely non partisan
you know, a moment here it's it's a it's a
tough time for the country right now. We've got an
elderly president who's really shouldn't be president at the time,
and are trying to figure out how to deal with it.
(27:40):
It's not good with with with some major hotspots around
the world and right and who's making the decisions on
that we don't know, but we know from watching that
debate it can't always be him. There have to be
I mean, this is this has got to be one
hundred percent true. There are times when decisions have to
(28:03):
be made and he can't He's not Kate, you can't
talk to him at that moment, undeniable, undeniable, that's a
pretty crazy place to be.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So you're coming out against having a president who's non compassmentus.
I just think I'll speak out in favor of it
as crossfire continues.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I just think it's crazy that it gets so little discussion.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Uh yeah, partly for partisan reasons. Partly four I don't
want to talk about it reasons. It's just so dangerous.
Like President Zelensky's peace proposal that he is talking about.
Were they able to talk to Joe Biden about that
or did they say I wan, I scream? Or did
they or did somebody come out of the bedroom and say,
(28:47):
today's not a good day.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I'm thinking tomorrow. Maybe that's way more likely.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
He's sleeping on the beach now it's one o'clock in
the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Didn't he just spend a whole week in An't she
doing nothing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
It's a rough day, which is fine if it's just Grandpa. Yeah,
God bless him. It's a tough time for the family.
He should not be potus.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
No, he should chance. Yeah, that's a weird thing that
we're all ignoring it. We got more on the way
the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah Yeah, your show, podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
This is the Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast
one more thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The tease was too many pansy ass kids. This is
referring to this particular mom who went on this screed
in her kitchen with a glass of wine in her hand.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I got a call from.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
My kid's assistant principal today because he and his other
friend were playing soccer with this other kid at recess.
The other kid happened to want to be the goalie
and apparently he sucked, and so he got really upset
because the other boys kept scoring goals on him. And
there was no teasing involved. I verified, it was just
he was so upset that the kids kept scoring goals
that he went to the teacher and cried about it,
(30:05):
and my kid and the other kid got brought to
the principal's office. Do not call me because some soft
ass kids feelings got hurt because some kid is better
than him at sports. Stop coddling your kids, especially your sons,
because let me tell you right now, what no woman
wants someday is to have to coddle their husband. Stop
(30:27):
raising pansy ass kids. Teach your kids how to be
confident in themselves and how to emotionally freaking figure their
out and stop with the bs.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
How we got this text in response to playing that earlier.
Oh my god, I love that recording you just played.
This is so true, Mike kids school has a no
running on the playground rule.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Wow. Always, what Mike despy.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Is that I could I could throw on the black
bandana and slit throats to quote hl menkin over that.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
What No, I'm just missing something. Well, you're not too dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
My kids' school, they don't have it all the time,
but if it is rained anytime in the last week,
you're not allowed to run because the grass could be
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I think I'm a fascist for even talking about this.
According to something I read, but when we conduct the
great experiment of conservatives get half the country and progressives
get the other half, and we see how it goes,
there's going to be all the run. And you've I
almost dropped an F bomb, which I can't, I suppose,
but I'd prefer not too.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can run all the f and much you want.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
In conservative America, kids go out there, play soccer. Skin
your knees, get sweaty, get to blow off steam. Then
we'll get back to school and learn. Well, we'll compare
test scores at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Bitches. Huh.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
We used to love to play soccer on wet fields
and we would slide in the hit.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
That was part of the fun. Oh guys. Even after
it would rain on the cement outside.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
We used to run and pretend we were skateboarding and
try to see who could slide the farthest. Oh, I
got my I hurt myself so many times doing that.
But it was a blood.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
None of that, None of that anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Good lord, think of the liability, Katie, you maniac.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
And we played and kill the man with the ball
and the poorn rain all the time, and I mean
that was a violent game.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I realize people are self selecting, and not to some
extent anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I'm not exactly a Navy seal nor I please what.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
But people are self selecting to some extent anyway. But
I so want to figure out a way to do
this because they're like schools, charter schools, like the John
Adams Academy, and there are other examples that like, do
school the way school ought to be done, and you
can run all you want at recess and you learn
(32:45):
and you learn the important stuff and you behave in
class and the kids come out all smart and educated.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
It works. It works. And the fact that.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Government union schools now don't work, as you know, an
indictment on them. But I would love to start some
sort of I don't know, colony or outpost.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I guess it's called idoh.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Conservatania, and there would be no ugliness, no racism, no,
you know, it would not be some sort of you know,
Mika Brazinski's fever dream of what a conservative place would be.
Everybody would get their constitutional rights, and by god, we
would enforce that and if you break anybody's rights, we
break your neck.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
But anyway, I would so love to conduct that experiment. Yeah,
I would like to see it play out.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Also, so she finishes up, my son got sent to
the office and received a citation for running on the playground.
So there's that issue that's mostly to do with lawyers
and the way our court system works and juries. So
I don't even know what to do about that because
the school would tell you. Look, I think it's freaking
stupid too. But we are just told we're going to
lose our insurance policy if we let kids run on
(33:53):
the school in school and get anybody gets hurt. So
what are you gonna do? So I hate that for
that's own thing. Then you have this different topic. The
school also told the kids they are no longer allowed
to play kickball because the kids spent so much time
arguing about the kids cheating. Way to teach the kids
how not how to work through conflict. That's not the
lawyers or the insurance company. That's the We think conflict
(34:14):
is always bad, and so we're going to solve the
conflict by not letting them play.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They do this at my kid's school too.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Like when I was a kid, a lot of us
would bring our own nerve football or own glove or
ball or bad or whatever. You're not allowed to bring
any sporting equipment because one kids might fight over it,
or you might have a nicer football than the other
kid does and that make them feel bad and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I know, we're doomed, Katie.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
We're so they have a number, they have a limited
number of balls, and there's like three and whoever gets
to him first, gets to play during recess with him,
and nobody else gets to.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Okay, I apologize for taking it back to this place.
But so all of this is going on, But these
kids can decide to identify as something else or right all.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, you can. And you can change into
a different sex. Yeah the secret be can't run in
the yard.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Yeah, you can make moves to mess them up hormonally
for the rest of their lives, but don't you run
on that wet grass.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing that those two things are happening
at the same time, you know. Speaking of which, and
here's a preview of a screed you'll hear on the
air in the next day or two. There are some
fairly high profile lawsuits that are going to go the
right way against the gender bending, cruel experiments on kid's crowd.
They're going to bring them to their knees and we
(35:32):
need more and more and more of that these and
it's it's I don't mean to seem like I'm gloating,
because it's a tragedy, but some of the victims of
these ideological lunatics are starting to move into adulthood and
realize what's been done.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
To them and are not happy about it. It can't
happen fast enough Jack

All are free, and all are available on the iHeart
app or wherever you like to download your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So a handful of things I want to get to.
Let me see if I can keep them stars. It
was a ball, bad dog, Bad Dog.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Well, first of all, at some point I would like
to get to how the manipulation of language by progressives
and neo Marxists is not a hey, you know what
else we could do kind of detail that's fundamental to
what they're trying to do, and how incredibly annoying it
is to me how easily people are manipulated to change
(01:42):
their own language, not realizing that they're they've become a
dupe of the left.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Anyway, more on that to come. Promised you We had
one story about neuroscience that's discovered different sorts of love
light up the brain in different ways, not surprisingly. And
I've got another neuroscience story for you too, But first
I meant to tell this yesterday, and I got distracted yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Michael Katie, I'm sure you.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Remember when when some members of the staff who will
go nameless, were making sport of mister Armstrong because he
poured coffee down his front.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
True.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, and we discussed his poor choice of coffee drinking
tools and how they were used. I was drinking out
of a cup with a straw hole, and I didn't
realize it was a straw hole, and when I tried
to drink out of it, it spills down my chest.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
And there there was a moment or two when again
certain members of the team were trying to portray mister
Armstrong as some sort of buffoon and correct, I won't
have it. So this Jack, I should have told you immediately.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
This was not.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It was day before yesterday. So I do my workout
with my trainer physical therapist.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Dude. Went great, I'm feeling very physical.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I decided I'm going to go to the practice range
and hit some golf balls, blaze and sunshine.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And so naturally I'm gonna put on some sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I use spray sunscreen because a lot faster on my
arm's legs, that sort of thing. I apply it to
my face and neck by spraying it in my hand
and then applying it like patting it on, rubbing it
around and stuff like that. Well, I was having trouble
getting it out of the bottle because it was almost
almost so I kept spraying and I just closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hold my breath and go like this sh That's the
way I do it. There are days I think I
should do that. I'm maybe be swimming goggles.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'm a bald headed man, so it works fun, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway,
so I spray and I ended up with like way
too much of the liquid spray in my hand.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I go to put it on my cheek. I hurl
it directly into my eyeball. I mean a full eye
wash of sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And if you think it burned like fire, you would
be correct, did you not? How did you miss your face?
Your eye?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well that was the point because because I was distracted.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
By oh, that was just propellant.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I need to angle it like this to spray it,
just trying to get very dregs out of it, because
I'm thrifty, and I ended up with too much in
my palm, and so I had like a mini pool
of it in my palm, and I hurled it directly
into my eyeball. Do you ever take a spoonful of
soup and hurl it over your shoulder or any other neurological.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Not generally no.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
But so I go inside, I throw water in, I
try to rinse it out. I frantically call my wife,
who's with her friends.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Where's her moisturizing guy? Drops? I got something in my eye?
Where are the drops? Next to my sink? Is the
green bottle here? The costanzas?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yes, right exactly, I've got to go.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And so so I put the drops in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And for a long time.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was probably in the bathroom for like twenty twenty
five minutes because it hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'd be a little worried about all kind of damage
that might do.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yes, yes, But after a while I started feeling better,
so I went back out to.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The But your eyes won't.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Get sunburned, which is a good thing, not today anyway,
So I go back out to the the garage, and then,
because I'm just a plucky little fell I successfully apply
the sunburn or the sunscreen rather.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But as I'm doing this, I managed to.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Jostle one of my earbuds out because I was listening
to a podcast, and it falls into one of my
golf clubs that's got like twenty seven spare clubs, and
it goes all the way to the bottom. I'm like, oh,
Shikel Grouper's right, you clown you you Laurel and hearty style.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Before I know it, I've had that too.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You do one of those things, it's like you're, you know,
a physical comedian, but you do by an accdent. But
you do two in a short period of time. It
makes you feel makes you want to sit down on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I'm not yet, I'm not yet at the full mister
bean reality of that day.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So I think, oh god, I got no choice, all right, So.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I grab my bring my golf bag over here, and
any golfer knows it's got like four putters.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I no longer use five drivers.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I used to own twenty seven clubs, my son's club whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I finally empty it out. That's a lot work.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I turn it upside down to shake my ear butt out,
failing to check whether the zippers were zipped.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh, I shake it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Half a dozen golf balls, sixty t's three ball marker,
all cascade all over the garage floor, bouncing out onto
our drive on your cars. Oh god, and I'm thinking
you you are an S club.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I would have given up on golf for all that. Yes,
I would have sat on a walking comedy. I would
have sat on the floor and cried at that point. Yes,
that is funny.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
When the golf after putting the sunscreen in her eyes,
your eye button down, I'm pouring.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That is it.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
If somebody had been following you around, they'd have thought,
you need a minder, you need to take care of you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I need to call.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah he doesn't drive, does he?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You know? It's funny though.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
We were just talking about neuroscience and what part of
your brain lights up for this, that and the other,
and there's more to come. But at that moment I
realized the emotion I'm feeling right now is the same
one when, like for the third time in the night,
my kid woke up crying and it didn't matter when
I wanted. I had to deal with it, and I
(07:29):
couldn't get frustrated. I couldn't get angry. There was no
point in it. I had to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm two cocktails in and whether Onyx back in the
day or Baxter gets sprayed by a skunk, it's ten.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
To fifteen a night.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I should have been in bed fifteen minutes ago. The
next hour of my life is going to be spent
cleaning off a dog. Doesn't do any good to get mad.
I have no choice. I am going to do it.
So I cleaned up the t's and the balls and
blah blah blah. Ended up having him a very very
good practice session. God after reenacting The Benny Hill Show
(08:00):
in my garage.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
That's right, Michael, Oh, I've never wished that there was
a ring camera.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You talk about going viral.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Oh, that would somebody who put music to that, and
that would be Jimmy Kimmel will be talking about it.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
It really. Do you think he's done here, don't you?
Speaker 5 (08:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
No, keep watching, No, keep watching, folks. You think he's
a jackass now? It's so needed, like a curly slapping
at his face. Curly of the Three Streets or or
don't or something.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It was. It was very Homer Simpson esk come to think.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, no, you were that character putting in your eye
yea Simpsons exactly exactly. I've had that before, like spill
coffee down my shirt then hit my head on the
car door getting in or something like that, and he
just sit in the car and think, Okay, there must
be a lesson from God here somewhere about humility or something.
I can't just be a freaking moron. There's gotta be
(08:53):
something deeper going on here.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I love so I love that you said you just
sit down on the floor, because I actually did that
the other day. I had like a series of three
just what the hell is going on? I just sat down,
I said, I obviously just need to sing and not
do anything.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Minimize the damage exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
So anyway to bring it to a close to anybody,
including me, who is trying to portray my friend mister
Armstrong as a buffoon, plays hold my Sun's screen.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Exactly. So I found this so interesting.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I've known for a very very long time I have
a different taste in movies from some of my friends.
I have no desire to watch a horror movie ever
slasher movie, zero desire, my son loves him. He's like
a huge hobbyist slash critic of them no interest. Well,
a new study has uncovered sprising links between our movie
(09:49):
preferences and how our brains process emotions like fear and anger.
They did brain scans on hundreds of healthy individuals as
they viewed various fearful and angry faces and scenes that
sort of thing. They focused on two key brain ridge
in regions, the old amygdala, which plays a central role
in processing emotion, particularly fear and anger, and the nucleus incumbence,
(10:11):
part of the brain's rewards system, and they found different
people have much different reactions neurologically speaking to the same movies,
which is not, you know, crazy surprising, but this was surprising.
They found stark differences between fans of action movies and
those who, like me, prefer crime thrillers or detective thrillers.
(10:35):
Despite both genres often featuring high stake scenarios and negative emotions,
they were associated with opposite patterns of brain activity. Action
movie enthusiasts showed increased activity in the amygdala when viewing
fearful and angry phases and scenes heightened emotional responsiveness suggests
they may be more prone to intense emotional experiences. In contrast,
crime thriller fans exhibited decreased amygdalal activity, including a more
(11:00):
emotional response to the same stimuli.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
So would that lead you to believe that we're genetically
built from birth to like certain kinds of movies and
not of it at first?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Blush?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yes, unless some other neuroscientists could convince me that it's
a combination of like physiology and experience.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, And would it be similar? Possible? Sure? And but
it would it be similar for music?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I wonder that some of the reason, the reason people
some people like dance music and some people like metal
is just similar to the movie thing. It just lights
up a different part of your brain than it does.
That's almost certainly true. Huh, your music sucks. I've belonged.
I believed for a long time music's like wine.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
If you really like it, that's a good one for you.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Right, But I had always and if I don't, that's
got nothing to do with you. I certainly I'd always
assumed it's some sort of cultural taste or something. But
maybe you're born with your brain the pleasure part lights
up when you hear this kind of music, but not
that kind of music.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So it's not a judgment at all, at least in part. Yes,
that's interesting. Huh.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Well, they ever get the genome mall figured out, and
we and we nailed down that we aren't responsible for
like ninety percent of our decisions or behaviors. I don't
know what we're gonna do with that or even like
fifty one percent, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's
that's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Arm Strong.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
So the sun Belt poles came out yesterday, the Blue
Wall State poles are out today. They're all tied. So
we're to tide race. So hit her soap bubble has
her tide. So if it would pop, I have to
assume that would drop you down below tide. Yeah, absolutely true.
(12:55):
Who doesn't love soap bubbles, he writes, especially those a
lot of soap right, Ernie, Who doesn't.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Love soap bubbles, especially those giant ones that seem to
get impossibly big, so impressive in Kamala Harris, the Democrats
have created the biggest soap bubble American politics have ever seen.
The question is can they keep it from popping for
two months they might And then this is the part
I found really interesting. We inhabit a world in which
many people are willing to believe almost anything. This level
of credulity probably hasn't existed since humans lived in forests
(13:25):
and thought they cohabitated with ghosts and witches. I'm reminded
of the video of who was one of your super
geniuses who got the Internet going? Explaining that the internet
should eliminate any belief in things that are not true.
Everyone will have access to information, and therefore everyone will
become much more rational and knowledgeable.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's like, oh, you poor sap. Yeah, oh, anyway, I.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Don't so much have in mind the popularity of political
conspiracy theories such as QAnon or that Trump would be
a dictator on day one, A modern incredulousness arrived with Facebook,
Google in their offshoots. The success of the online platforms
has less to do with their content than it's appearing
on illuminated screens. Skipping ahead, the compulsion to check cell
phone screens is reset. The way people want to experience
(14:13):
their daily lives. With each glance, they are looking for
something new, not just something extraordinary or remarkable, just new.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You're right, which is sad even outside of this political discussion.
But that is right, just anything new. How sad is
that for our own brains? It's sad.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yes, and I'm trying to police myself posting and scrolling
pedestrian photos on Instagram and constantly checking social media feeds.
It proved that the bar for the quality of a
new experience has become very.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Low, but irresistible.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
How else to explain the phenomenon of online influencers. It's
become possible to sell anything for a while. This is
incredibly insightful and troubling.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, I would agree. I mean it's only partly about politics. Yeah,
I'm just thinking about my own brain and habit.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And he's right.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
The bar for this will get my attention is so
much lower than I would like to admit. Yes, wow,
that's embarrassing, easily amused, fascinated by shiny objects. Ah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Then this is my favorite part because it turns it
back to the politics. The Democrat's longest suite in the
manipulation of narratives. Recognize the utility of this obsession with
the new and created Kamala. This is the soap bubble.
It did it with admirable speed. The new Kamala is
a centrist. She's about joy, freedom in the middle class.
She will quote cut red tape. The convention Democrats were
(15:39):
wearing Hunt.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
The Convention Democrats were wearing Hunter's camouflage, waving American flags
and hilariously chanting USA. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a consummate pro,
called the new Harris directional whatever that means.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, It's like the sign in the yard across from
my new cul de Sac that I live in. It's
got a picture of Kamala and it's that Obama blue
red montage color artsy thing and then it just says forward.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That's all it says. Picture, Come a forward, don't cay.
There's a slogan for you. Boy.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That is the Instagram picture. That's not terribly notable. But
I looked at it because I haven't looked at it before.
It's just new mss Harrison. Her acceptance speech described quote
a precious fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness. She
made it sound as if we were actually emerging from
Donald Trump's presidency. Yep, not the fourth unpopular year of
Joe Biden's anyways. Point being this is an Instagram style.
(16:36):
It's new and so it's intriguing. But it's a soap bubble.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It cannot last unless, is he posited in his first
couple of sentences, Somehow the Democrats can keep that bubble
from bursting for two more months, two.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
More months, roughly two more months. Yeah, to get there.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
The Democrats will have the hard job of keeping the
Harris bubble out of contact with hard surfaces. And he
mentions Dana Pash than the debate and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Those are the two biggest points in the next two
weeks anyway, the interview on CNN today and the debate
on September tenth.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You know, And they're trying as hard as they can
to birth for Venus. But among golfers, if you've got
a guy who's like a mid handicap, he's just an
okay golfer and he plays the first four or five holes, great.
There's an old saying that the handicap will show up eventually.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Just wait.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
There's got to be a lot more comfortable for Israel
to be engaging with Hezbolah and then Hamas in both
Gaza and the West Bank, knowing there are two aircraft
carriers right off the coast and forty thousand US troops
in the area.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And though we're on maybe feeling froggy, it will not jump.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
No, because if he didn't have that US backstop, they'd
be in a constant worry of Iran's going to launch
the full attack on US any moment.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But they don't have to worry about that now. So
that's the advantage of that.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Speaking of that part of the world, I don't know
how important this story is in a vacuum, but it
is indicative of a lot of things that are wrong
with the government in general. So from that standpoint, it
is very important. There's Jen Griffin on Fox with a
story you might remember tonight.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
I'm directing the US military to lead an emergency mission
to establish a temporary peer in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
On the coast of Gaza.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
When President Biden announced he was sending a military peer
known by the acronym JLTS, based in Norfolk, Virginia, to
deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, Pentagon officials were caught by surprise.
According to a new USAID Inspector General report, many US
officials objected to the plan. Quote multiple USAIDS staff express
(19:00):
concerns that the focus on using jylots would detract from
the agency's advocacy to open land crossings in Israel and Egypt,
which were seen as more efficient and proven avenues for
delivering aid to Gaza.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
So, for one thing, the sort of like drive by
media public perception of that whole thing when in the
State of the Union address he threw that out was
correct of like, what does anybody know you're planning to
do that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Would this work?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
I mean, all that skepticism turned out to be perfectly accurate, right,
And the emphasis there from Jen Griffin was on strategic questions. Well,
this will detract from the effort to open up much
more efficient avenues, which I get completely. But I remember
in the very early days of this, we got an
email from a military man who'd been involved with jay
lots and he was saying, this will not work, it's
(19:56):
not designed for there and that situation. I can't believe
they're doing it. So it turns out he was one
hundred percent correct.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Well, the pup learn.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, the punchline, of course, being as we mentioned a
couple of months ago. They dismantled it after, however, many
months and it never accomplished anything. But here's more from
the Fox report.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
The goal was to deliver enough food for five hundred
thousand Palestinians for three months, but in the end only
enough aid to feed four hundred and fifty thousand for
one month came through the pier. It was operational for
just twenty days and cost two hundred and thirty million dollars.
Within days of being attached along the Gaza coast, the
Mediterranean's rough conditions broke it apart, resulting in twenty two
(20:38):
million dollars in damage.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, there are a bunch of people saying that that
that's not the kind of all right kind of water
where you can build one of those.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah, And so it was that fifteen sixteen million dollars
a day of operation, quarterbacks billion dollars including the damage. Yeah,
accomplished almost nothing. One more, And then I got a question.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Last month, the Pentagon was still publicly defending the temporary peer.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
We delivered nearly twenty million pounds of eight.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
But officials admitted the Doomed project was always known by
the Defense Department to be a near impossible task.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
We know that sea states were going to get worse
as the summer progressed.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
That is something that was always known.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Sea State's getting worse as the summer progressed. Can I
translate that, Yeah, there are waves there, and this is
no good if there are waves.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
So my question would be, is this ultimately a win?
Would anybody in the Pentagon or the White House say yeah? No,
it didn't work, and we didn't ever actually think it
would work, But we needed to have a big showy
gesture to keep the place from going nuts, to keep
the entire Middle East from going nuts. We tamped that
down by making the big showy gesture, if we're going
to feed these people, there's not going to be a famine. Look,
(21:51):
we're on it. And it worked, did it well? I'm
just think that was just for domestic consumption. You think
so that that that that that definitely could be the
other argument that we had our left wing college kids,
we're going to go nuts. Yes, yeah, I think that's
closer to the truth, just because and again referring to
(22:11):
the first clip of Gen Griffin, it was a pressure
release valve, but the people who are actually interested in
getting the aid in were like, no, no, we don't
want to release the pressure. We need to open up
the land crossings to get serious relief in and this
will make people think that's not essential. Now, whether I'd
be with those people ideologically or not, I don't know,
(22:34):
but yeah, if you're if you're aim was to have
a real effect on the region and certainly the locals,
you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Have done this.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I think it was.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
It was.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It was a complete fake.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Virtue signaling incredibly expensive gesture. Yeah, this is pretty common
in warfare. It would be really troubling to be in
the military and be doing things that are a lot
of work and sometimes very dangerous that are just gestures,
either geopolitical gestures or domestic gestures, and sometimes justified, especially.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
If it's geopolitical.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
But you're doing all this work and risk in your life,
and everything that everybody's saying is fake just for an
overall Look we care about this, or or look over.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Here or whatever.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We've got to hold this valley until the regional elections
and that you guys can retreat.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't want to die between now and then. I
like being alive as much as you do, says the
foot soldier.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah and yeah exactly, But man, that.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I two minor a point probably for tonight for Kamala Harris.
But it'd be one of the many questions that because
Joe Biden doesn't answer any questions either. So we're going
from one guy who talked less than any president in
modern history to somebody who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Talk at all.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
But shouldn't somebody in the White House have to say, Hey,
that whole pier thing. According to reporting, nobody told you
was not going to work, so why'd you do it?
Love to hear that. Of course, they'd just say they
just make up some numbers about how it did work.
And I was advised it would work, and it did work, so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Shut up right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Speaking of which, speaking of Biden, I saw this report.
I hadn't gotten it on earlier, but according to a
couple of observers, President Biden was visibly shaking after he
got off Air Force one last week and was unable
to get into his suv on his own. He had
to be helped in by one of his Secret Service agents.
They were helping him in, pushing him in. One then
(24:37):
shielded them from watching cameras before giving him a boost.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And would that shock you if that's true? No, not
at all, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
And the Washington Post story that I read earlier in
the week about how he has just disappeared. They got
him as far away from the convention as could be,
no public appearances. The press was not even allowed to
follow him in the way that they normally do. They
were at the back of the motorcade so that he
could go in. The one public thing he did was
he went to church, but they kept the press far
(25:07):
away so nobody saw him go in.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Doesn't that fit with what you.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Just said, Yeah, he is so bad off physically, slash
mentally that we can't have press within one hundred miles
of him because, and this might be perfectly good for
national security reasons, you don't want video going around the
world to president she and putin that he's shaking and
looking lost while president right. Occasionally we'll get an email
(25:32):
or text from people saying, hey, if two radio DJs
figured it out, you don't think China's intelligence services figured
it out.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, well, you're right in a way.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
My sarcastic intervening friend who calls radio DJs. Somebody wrote
almost precisely what I just said the other day as
we were talking about protecting the reality of Biden's went
mental state from the you know, from the world, You're
you know, you're you're mostly right, but you've got to
preserve that doubt. How often is he completely cojent for
(26:06):
how long a period, how bad has his decline been?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You just got to keep those waters cloud.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Oh yeah, seeing it changes everything. See the debate between
Trump and Biden. Two radio DJs and eighty percent of
the country knew that he was in really bad shape
and probably shouldn't be president, But seeing it changed everything.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
And they just don't want to put too fine a
point on it. And I think that's the way it
would be here. Yes, Michael, what would happen if he
were to pass?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Do you think they would tell us or do you
think that you would want to keep his hidden for
security reasons?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You're picturing a week White House at Bernie's. Yeah, and
they got like sticks tied to his arms. I don't
think they'd do that. Puppet strange, I'm doing fine. Just
to ask doctor Jill make him more a loctor. I
think Kamala Harris would be president and run as the
incumbent with incumbent, which would be quite the benefit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Maybe, Okay, Michael, stop it with that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Do you think they'd admit he was dead? Yes, he
was dead. I don't think we're that far down the
road of the deep state.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But so I some days when we when we look
at all these problems and issues and we identify them,
it fills me with the fighting spirit.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Some days it just is exhausting and discouraging. I'm feeling
exhausted and discouraged today. Well in a completely non partisan
you know, a moment here it's it's a it's a
tough time for the country right now. We've got an
elderly president who's really shouldn't be president at the time,
and are trying to figure out how to deal with it.
(27:40):
It's not good with with with some major hotspots around
the world and right and who's making the decisions on
that we don't know, but we know from watching that
debate it can't always be him. There have to be
I mean, this is this has got to be one
hundred percent true. There are times when decisions have to
(28:03):
be made and he can't He's not Kate, you can't
talk to him at that moment, undeniable, undeniable, that's a
pretty crazy place to be.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So you're coming out against having a president who's non compassmentus.
I just think I'll speak out in favor of it
as crossfire continues.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I just think it's crazy that it gets so little discussion.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Uh yeah, partly for partisan reasons. Partly four I don't
want to talk about it reasons. It's just so dangerous.
Like President Zelensky's peace proposal that he is talking about.
Were they able to talk to Joe Biden about that
or did they say I wan, I scream? Or did
they or did somebody come out of the bedroom and say,
(28:47):
today's not a good day.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I'm thinking tomorrow. Maybe that's way more likely.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
He's sleeping on the beach now it's one o'clock in
the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Didn't he just spend a whole week in An't she
doing nothing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
It's a rough day, which is fine if it's just Grandpa. Yeah,
God bless him. It's a tough time for the family.
He should not be potus.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
No, he should chance. Yeah, that's a weird thing that
we're all ignoring it. We got more on the way
the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah Yeah, your show, podcasts and our hot links.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
This is the Armstrong and Getty Show featuring our podcast
one more thing, get it wherever you like to get podcasts.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
The tease was too many pansy ass kids. This is
referring to this particular mom who went on this screed
in her kitchen with a glass of wine in her hand.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I got a call from.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
My kid's assistant principal today because he and his other
friend were playing soccer with this other kid at recess.
The other kid happened to want to be the goalie
and apparently he sucked, and so he got really upset
because the other boys kept scoring goals on him. And
there was no teasing involved. I verified, it was just
he was so upset that the kids kept scoring goals
that he went to the teacher and cried about it,
(30:05):
and my kid and the other kid got brought to
the principal's office. Do not call me because some soft
ass kids feelings got hurt because some kid is better
than him at sports. Stop coddling your kids, especially your sons,
because let me tell you right now, what no woman
wants someday is to have to coddle their husband. Stop
(30:27):
raising pansy ass kids. Teach your kids how to be
confident in themselves and how to emotionally freaking figure their
out and stop with the bs.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
How we got this text in response to playing that earlier.
Oh my god, I love that recording you just played.
This is so true, Mike kids school has a no
running on the playground rule.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Wow. Always, what Mike despy.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Is that I could I could throw on the black
bandana and slit throats to quote hl menkin over that.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
What No, I'm just missing something. Well, you're not too dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
My kids' school, they don't have it all the time,
but if it is rained anytime in the last week,
you're not allowed to run because the grass could be
do it.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
I think I'm a fascist for even talking about this.
According to something I read, but when we conduct the
great experiment of conservatives get half the country and progressives
get the other half, and we see how it goes,
there's going to be all the run. And you've I
almost dropped an F bomb, which I can't, I suppose,
but I'd prefer not too.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can run all the f and much you want.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
In conservative America, kids go out there, play soccer. Skin
your knees, get sweaty, get to blow off steam. Then
we'll get back to school and learn. Well, we'll compare
test scores at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Bitches. Huh.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
We used to love to play soccer on wet fields
and we would slide in the hit.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
That was part of the fun. Oh guys. Even after
it would rain on the cement outside.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
We used to run and pretend we were skateboarding and
try to see who could slide the farthest. Oh, I
got my I hurt myself so many times doing that.
But it was a blood.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
None of that, None of that anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Good lord, think of the liability, Katie, you maniac.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
And we played and kill the man with the ball
and the poorn rain all the time, and I mean
that was a violent game.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
I realize people are self selecting, and not to some
extent anyway.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I'm not exactly a Navy seal nor I please what.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
But people are self selecting to some extent anyway. But
I so want to figure out a way to do
this because they're like schools, charter schools, like the John
Adams Academy, and there are other examples that like, do
school the way school ought to be done, and you
can run all you want at recess and you learn
(32:45):
and you learn the important stuff and you behave in
class and the kids come out all smart and educated.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
It works. It works. And the fact that.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Government union schools now don't work, as you know, an
indictment on them. But I would love to start some
sort of I don't know, colony or outpost.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I guess it's called idoh.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Conservatania, and there would be no ugliness, no racism, no,
you know, it would not be some sort of you know,
Mika Brazinski's fever dream of what a conservative place would be.
Everybody would get their constitutional rights, and by god, we
would enforce that and if you break anybody's rights, we
break your neck.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
But anyway, I would so love to conduct that experiment. Yeah,
I would like to see it play out.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Also, so she finishes up, my son got sent to
the office and received a citation for running on the playground.
So there's that issue that's mostly to do with lawyers
and the way our court system works and juries. So
I don't even know what to do about that because
the school would tell you. Look, I think it's freaking
stupid too. But we are just told we're going to
lose our insurance policy if we let kids run on
(33:53):
the school in school and get anybody gets hurt. So
what are you gonna do? So I hate that for
that's own thing. Then you have this different topic. The
school also told the kids they are no longer allowed
to play kickball because the kids spent so much time
arguing about the kids cheating. Way to teach the kids
how not how to work through conflict. That's not the
lawyers or the insurance company. That's the We think conflict
(34:14):
is always bad, and so we're going to solve the
conflict by not letting them play.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
They do this at my kid's school too.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Like when I was a kid, a lot of us
would bring our own nerve football or own glove or
ball or bad or whatever. You're not allowed to bring
any sporting equipment because one kids might fight over it,
or you might have a nicer football than the other
kid does and that make them feel bad and all
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I know, we're doomed, Katie.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
We're so they have a number, they have a limited
number of balls, and there's like three and whoever gets
to him first, gets to play during recess with him,
and nobody else gets to.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Okay, I apologize for taking it back to this place.
But so all of this is going on, But these
kids can decide to identify as something else or right all.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, you can. And you can change into
a different sex. Yeah the secret be can't run in
the yard.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Yeah, you can make moves to mess them up hormonally
for the rest of their lives, but don't you run
on that wet grass.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing that those two things are happening
at the same time, you know. Speaking of which, and
here's a preview of a screed you'll hear on the
air in the next day or two. There are some
fairly high profile lawsuits that are going to go the
right way against the gender bending, cruel experiments on kid's crowd.
They're going to bring them to their knees and we
(35:32):
need more and more and more of that these and
it's it's I don't mean to seem like I'm gloating,
because it's a tragedy, but some of the victims of
these ideological lunatics are starting to move into adulthood and
realize what's been done.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
To them and are not happy about it. It can't
happen fast enough Jack
