Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center is.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
If you're like President Biden and you don't believe the polls,
then maybe this news won't bother you. But it's certainly
a tough one to swallow if you're not like President Biden.
Because the New York Times survey long Defilly Inquirer found
that Biden's behind Trump in five of six swing states,
all of which Biden won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This is among.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Registered voters, so trump'slating Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
Biden's only ahead in Wisconsin, and among likely voters the
race was closer. Biden eked out ahead of Trump and Michigan.
He was closer behind in Wisconsin in Pennsylvania, but the
results were similar with third party candidates in the race.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
So there's so many polls come out, and if you're
not super into this, I can understand why they would
all together. But this New York Times seen a pole
that everybody was talking about yesterday, is the most respected
poll in America. They only do four or five per
election year. They put a ton of money and resources
into it. It's historically been the most accurate, and it's
(01:17):
just so that's why it's getting so much attention. And
you know, fortunately or unfortunately, you know, you can have
some poll that's a fifth is respected, come out on
Wednesday and it'll get the same amount of coverage, and
so they all kind of blend together in your heads.
But that's why people are talking about it this way.
Mark Alprin writing about the poll. Unless public and private
polling of the battleground states is uniformly wrong, and unless
(01:41):
abortion and superior resources change how voters currently feel, Joe
Biden now has acts exactly one path to two hundred
and seventy electoral votes. He has to win all three Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania. One path is not great, but it is
a path that's better than zero paths. But that is
currently the situation. He's got to win Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
(02:03):
to win. Looking at it on one of the channels yesterday,
they got into it, blah blah bah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let me find it here with the same conclusion.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
By the way, bo Britt human Fox said yesterday, it's
not quite fair to say it's Trump's race to lose
at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
But it is definitely getting there. It keeps going this direction.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
The Great Lakes battlegrounds are the only thing Biden's campaign
has left to work with. That's the Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
where you're just talking about with the two seventy. They
have to give up on the Sun Belt battlegrounds. That's
what they said on CNN. They're just out of luck
on your Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, number of states like that
(02:46):
are just out of luck. So expect to see, well
one if you live in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan. Every
TV show you watch is going to have nineteen Joe
Biden ads in it. They're going to spend all their
money to those states. That's why I guess he's been
to Pennsylvania fifty times this year. Then it's close by,
and he can't really travel because he's an old man.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Apologies if this is kind of obvious analysis, but I
was trying to think what could hurt Trump at this
point because none of the trials are going to make
any difference, including the one that's going on right now.
The problem Biden's up against and it's an enormous problem
is that Trump is so well known, so thoroughly vetted
and discussed to the point of, my god, can we
(03:31):
talk about anything else. There's no revelation that's about to
come out against Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, the only angle, and he's not.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
In charge, so he won't be held responsible for things
going badly.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
The theory of the case for the Biden people is
that people have forgotten how bad Trump is, and then
they've got two billion dollars to spend up till election
day to remind enough of America just how crazy, chaotic, dangerous,
blah blah blah Trump is. That people are reminded, they'll
get back to where they were before. That's and it's
(04:03):
got their only theory of the case. Actually, of course,
you know, with five and a half months to go,
who knows what world events are going to come. Nobody
saw October seventh coming in Israel, so who knows. But also,
nothing major could happen over the next five and a
half months. We've had a lot of major things happen,
(04:23):
so we wouldn't be crazy to have like no major
event over the next five a half months, in which
case Biden's in tough shape. A little more from this
same survey on Hispanic and Black voters.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The big driver here is sliding support for Biden among
black and Hispanic voters, largely because of the economy and inflation.
In twenty twenty, Biden won about ninety one percent of
the black vote according to a Fox voter analysis. In
twenty twenty four, that's down to sixty three percent in
this survey among Hispanics, Biden's lead is only about three points.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I still have in my head the day after the
election when they announced the winner, how obvious it's going
to feel either direction. If Biden loses, and he could
lose in a landslide where you just say, of course,
he's a million years old and everybody buys groceries the end,
(05:21):
I mean, how is this ever a question?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And then if a goal and.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Gim is approval ratings going into the election were unprecedented.
And then if it goes the other direction and Biden
wins and easily you say, of course it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He's got the highest negatives anybody's ever had. He was
not going to win.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think the first, the first scenario better. The first story.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I believe more than the second story. But if Trump loses,
that is what it's going to be.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Well, we've never seen a ticket like the Democrats, a
corpse and a jackass, So.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I guess we'll hear from the jackass. We've already discussed
we need to hear from you. Did she do this
on purpose? Was this some sort of I'm as tough
as any guy? Is this some sort of play for
the younger vote? Why did Kambala Harris say this?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
This is part of what's involved, is that we have
to know that sometimes people will open the door for
you and leave it open.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
door down. Is an F bomb?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
If you didn't hear it, see my language got her
laugh at weird times. Is so off putting. It doesn't
have the sound of she didn't mean to drop an
F bomb?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But did it? Says?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think it has more of the sound of I'm
going to put an F bomb here for these calculated reasons.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
What are the calculated reasons? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I'm scanning email real quick to see if anybody wanted
to weigh in, and not really in a persuasive way.
I don't know, she's such a jackass. That's it's difficult
to come up with a sane explanation for why a
jackass does what they do unless you are able to
(07:26):
delve into their jackass ory and understand it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, I don't. I have no idea why she did that.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I can see you know it just it seems like
a reasonable thing to say, got.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
To kick down that FN door because you're into it,
you need to kick that door down.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
No vice presidential or presidential candidate has dropped an F
bomb on purpose? Have they has drop dropped an F bomb?
He obviously curses a lot. Has he dropped that bombs? Yeah, definitely, Yeah,
like rallies and stuff. Yeah, I just don't even remember.
It's funny though, if it's your brand, it doesn't stand
out the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's not her. F bombs are not her brand, and
I think it not it being your brand is an
okay thing.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
We don't We don't need to go further down the
road of this to where it just be.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Is expected an effort.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
That's what debate you. You're an effing liar. You're an
effing liar.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Few her insane guffaw, Well, she's so pleased with herself.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well that's the maniacal laugh of the insane.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And she goes on for like ten seconds, so guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And there's reporting from people with sources saying this, the
powerful people in the Democratic Party are in a panic
over Joe Biden. Well, when this New York Times poll
hit them Sunday night, they went into they were texting
each other and calling each other. Again, We've been asking
this question now for years. Are they thinking we've got
to dump Biden? But is anybody wanting to dump Biden
(09:08):
for Kamala Harris? Is she angling for the job at
the behest of powerful people or is she completely on
her own trying to elevate herself with nobody really interested.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
In this is the most election of our lifetime. This
is the most election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Well, there are no power people who are trying to
elevate Kamala Harris, guaranteed, none of any significance.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It would be terrible, some sort of flea bitten three
leg a dog that you're training for the Westminster Dog Show.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, just you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
So, yeah, I suspect she's just trying desperately to audition
for something, or you know, is she and her people
understand if Joe Biden wins the election, she will be
the president of the United States sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And she still sounds like a jackass. Trump hasn't said
that yet.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I don't think well, the Republican Party start saying that
at some point, Yes, a vote for Biden's a vote
for Harris.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, they'll or their surrogates will
do it and go big. Somebody or other will hammer
that angle for weeks and months. Do you think this
is the most important election of our lifetime? I have
mocked that idea.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Our entire talk radio career every election, them saying like,
give me a break, But I think this might actually be.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It's in your top tier for sure. Who would you
put up there? Oh man, you're gonna put me on
the spot. I don't think I can come up with
anything bigger than this.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
George Bush second time, which enabled him to completely screw
up Iraq even more than he did the first term.
I don't know that's it. Well, given the whole woke
DEI Marxist crowd that the Biden administration is pushing yeah,
I think if we let Marxism get even further and
(11:03):
capture the minds and hearts of more of our children,
that could do terrible, terrible damage.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I may be going along with you, I hate you.
You're gonna have to drown me there, but I know
I hate to be the sort of person that says
that I'm trying to dig in my heels and I
just keep slipping.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And his lack of willingness to confront the reality of
these foreign situations, that's what worries me.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Who the hell knows what Kamala Harris thinks about Israel
and Hamas or Ukraine. Nobody's got the slightest idea Reagan Carter.
Maybe that's what I was gonna throw out there.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Yeah, we're even going to double down on the awful
Malaysy Jimmy Carter, throw.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
On a sweater and turn down the thermostad. Yeah, go
to hell.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
There's a shining city on the hill I want to
talk about, said.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Rod Reagan, and he let us to greet this.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Any who oh god, dang it. I am so excited
for the way this is going to play out. Though,
when I divorced myself from the you know how it's
gonna affect my checkbook and my kid's future. It's just
damn and exciting politics. I mean, holy crap, we're going
to both conventions. I have no idea what they're going
to be like.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I don't know if the either ticket is going to
be the same as it is now.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, I think that Trump conventional the Republicans will be
a lot like twenty sixteen was in a way. Uh,
the Democrats is going to be a poop show.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think I.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Think it'll be significantly more united the Trump convention than
twenty sixteen. Remember you had the old Ted Cruz thing
and would he go along?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And there's a big chunk people I didn't want vote
your conscience.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, it'll be one hundred percent behind Trump at the convention. Yeah, true,
it's gonna be nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I don't. Well, five and a half months, yep.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It is time for us to do what we have
been doing in that time as every day. Maybe the
most interesting part of the whole thing is her and
what that piece adds to the complexity.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Because what the hell, God, if.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It was anybody else, practically anybody else, they would have
dumped Joe Biden already, and.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
The fact that they don't feel like they can get
rid of her because she's arguably ethnic of color.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But you're gonna say she's arb arguably a black woman.
She's a black woman.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Well, yeah, don't even get me start foughts.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Text Line four oneftc Armstrong and.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
What is the joing?
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Viral here in New York City and elevator security camera
caught a delivery driver eating toppings off someone's Papa John's beef.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Jeez, it's never gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Be ask to the door and the delivery guy's chewing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I don't like you eating my toppings because my pizza
will have less toppings on it. What I hate is
that you probably are picking them off with your hands.
I don't want you sticking your fingers on my pizza
unless you very very carefully, just touch only the sausage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You're plucking in the granite.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
We had the Panda Express last night, made with good
fresh Panda. We were talking about, like, what a magic
because we saw David Copperfield. It was like a David
Copperfield magic trick. They're tiny box. You think there's not
enough food in this tiny box? And then you open
it up and it's like a whole plate full of
walnut trip comes out. It's like a magic trick. I
don't know how they do that. Magically delicious a couple
(14:48):
of tech things. So earlier we were talking about this
portal between Dublin and New York. I don't anything about this.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
What is this?
Speaker 7 (14:55):
So it's an eight by eight foot camera and it's
a live stream. So as you're walking through this portion
of New York City, there's this giant eight by eight
screen and you can look directly at Dublin, Ireland and
people passing by there. And so it's a way too,
they said, bridge then they're looking at you.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, so you can.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
You can live stream back and forth through this giant
camera and they're having a lot of problems with troublemakers.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well, yeah, I can stand there on the streets in
New York and wave to somebody in Dublin.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
They're waving back at me. Yeah, and this OnlyFans.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Model in New York decided to flash the Dublin Ireland
folks and said that she thought that the people of Dublin,
Ireland deserved to see some New York homegrown potatoes.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Hot chicks trying to go viral. Whar's me out? God?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I have no time for them whatsoever. But I like
the portal idea. I hope that happens a lot more places.
I mean, I feel like it could have with some
sort of semi profound effect on making us all feel
closer than we are or something.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I don't know, you think so, am I overthinking?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yeah? No, I don't think that's completely crazy. Although a
bunch of people standing on the street like jumping up
and down and waving and yelling at each other as
just a novelty, it'd be kind of cool if there were,
I don't know, some sort of museum or center or
something where you could go and see. Wait a minute, Mumbai, India. Okay, yeah,
I'll wait in line. I'll talk to somebody in Mumbai.
(16:16):
I'm second in line to talk to somebody. Meanwhile, in
Mumbai there's a line different people. I'd say, Hi, I'm Joe,
I'm blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, a couple of tech things. So Apple has to.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Speak English foreigners, all right, or wasting our time?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Apple has a new update out iOS seventeen point five
that they're urging everybody with an iPhone to get because
it's got new security stuff that's supposed to beat back
the very latest attempts to break into your phone, and
usually they do that for a reason.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Excellent.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, there's something out there worth being cautious about. It
occurs to me, I've forgotten our own radio show. We
were just talking about the brand new version of chat GPT,
which can simultaneously translate a couple of different languages. So
obviously lead my little portal would be equipped with that,
and I'd be chatting with the person Mumbai, whether they
spoke English or not.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
One other Apple thing that I learned just the other day,
I did not know. I not sure should I tell
you or not. I think I should probably tell you. Yeah,
it's okay to tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Stay tuned. We'll have that carey to tell you a
secret or something. What are you talking about? Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
And of course we know that from the polls that
have come out, even from the New York Times Rasmussen
Interactive this week, President Trump is leading all over the country.
And the conclusion you could draw from that is the
American people have already acquitted Donald Trump because the things
that they're concerned about inflation, crime, the border, the economy,
(17:47):
all of these things. President Trump is leading by huge
double digits versus Joe Biden, and the sooner that this
scam trial can be concluded, the sooner that the President
can get back to getting out campaigning and talking to America,
can people about the issues that matter to them.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
That's Doug Burghum, the governor of North Dakota, and the
Stormy Daniels trial or whatever you want to call it,
has become some unofficial vice president running mate like American
Idol thing where all of the potential candidates are showing
up there and giving speeches and stuff, all of them. Yeah,
(18:25):
he's not gonna light up anybody's world, but he nailed that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's a good surrogate right there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, well, some people believe that lighting up somebody's world
is not what Donald Trump wants. He doesn't want somebody
that would get more attention than him, right or challenge
him for the spotlight. And so yeah, you know, see
Mike Pence, but I think Bergham's the guy. I think
he'd be a great choice. So we'll see how that
plays out. Got a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Mentioned.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Apple has a new update that they're encouraging you to
get if you got Apple products. Usually when they say that,
it's because there's some sort of awful thing out there
in the world that can corrupt your phone or your computer,
and they've come up with a fixed for it, so
it's worth downloading. But one of the things that comes
with the new device is their ability to detect third.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Party tracking devices.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
So when air tags first hit the scene, I thought, wow,
So the thing that seemed so cool in James Bond
movies or every cop show I watched in the seventies,
now everybody has a tracking device and you could put
it in somebody's luggage or their car or whatever like that. Well,
then Apple had to quickly come up with a fix
(19:35):
to that to detect it well now, but there are
a bunch of cheaper third party options out there. And
I had a similar experience this to the other day.
Henry went off with his mom and they went they're
going to go camping, and I've got the tracking thing
(19:56):
on his watch. I can see where he goes based
on where he goes. Because of his watch, I can
see it on my phone if I wanted to. And
she got with a completely different phone package and everything
like that she got an alert on her phone that
somebody was tracking Henry's watch.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh and then interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Wow, yes, yes, Now I don't know if that happens
if you don't all have Apple products, like if one
of us had added an Android or something like that.
But that's interesting. So if somebody got in my car
that was being tracked by somebody else, I would get
an alert on my phone.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't ever go anywhere like mysterious.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Or any place I'm trying to keep a secret, so
I don't really worry about this sort of stuff, and
I'm not tracking anybody.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So but I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah. I never go anywhere at all, so that makes
it easier to track me. So now wait a minute,
So so you've.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All got Apple products.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, but she's not on my son and I My
two sons and I are all on my phone.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah, but you said they can also let you know
if third party trackers are tracking.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Some the cheaper versions of air tag from some other company.
That's what the new Apple software says. It can let
you know you know, there is one of those devices
on your car somewhere.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, I don't know how many degrees of separation or
permitted or involved or work. I mean, yeah, I'm I
kind of need a chart. Can somebody draw me a chart?
It kind of creeped me out.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I didn't care, and I don't even know why it
creeped me out, But there's something about it that I
found creepy. Her phone getting an alert that I can
see where his watches.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I don't have a problem with that, I guess. So
now I wasn't hiding it odd turn of events that
I was somehow involved in this. Would I get an
alert that she got an alert that somebody is tracking Henry.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
That's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And then would Judy find out that I got that alert?
I don't know how many layers it goes. And then
the next thing, you know, Kevin Bacon gets an alert.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Exactly. Huh. Interesting?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Speaking of technology, I thought this was so interesting. If
an American is it tells you what'd you do last night?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I watched TV.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The chances are, except for one exception, that they were
watching YouTube. That is the second most popular thing to
be watching now and YouTube. I just I was watching
a concert last night, and I'm so sick of middle
of a song. Right before the big chorus, it goes
to some stupid ass ad And so I thought, all right,
(22:42):
on YouTube, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna describe I do now.
Oh okay, So I went ahead and did the two
month trial. It's thirteen to ninety nine a month.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's worth it, man, it is worth AD free if
you spend much time on YouTube. But yeah, it's worth it.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah, but like everybody else, that's one hundred and twenty
second right subscription. But so anyway, I went ahead and
did it. But and they mentioned that they're full. Let's see,
where's the where's the list of the pleasures of YouTube?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
If my kids have between the two of them, spent
five minutes on ABC, NBC or CBS in the last year,
I would be surprised five minutes. I'm talking YouTube every day.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
I am not that familiar with how YouTube works these days.
But they mentioned full length films, highly produced series, sports highlights,
and live events.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's not YouTube TV. That's just YouTube. Yeah, just regular
YouTube like Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Every sketch is individually on there from the SNL site,
and every other show that you can think of. Tonight's show,
Last Night Jimmy Fallon. Everything he did is on there
somewhere if you want to see it.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
So your number one streaming service right now, here's the end.
They're trying to change your child into a transgender that's right. Disney,
It's about eleven and a half percent of viewing is
the various Disney properties, which include uh Disney plus, Hulu
and ESPN.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I guess, so I'm guessing that's people camping their little
kids in front of the TV for Disney stuff, the
big glowing babysitter. That's what I'm guessing for.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
That could be not far behind it, Like nine point
eight percent is YouTube.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
YouTube as I read the other day how it's expected
to grow by multiples over the next couple of years,
and it's already a behamoth so the fact that it's
getting bigger, but yeah, it's it's pretty amazing how big
a part of my life and my kid's life. YouTube
is interesting metic lessons. I'm on on YouTube every single
day for piano lessons. Uh.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Netflix has gone from eight point one to seven point
six recently.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Percent.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
They're They're a dropping, as is NBC Universal, slightly dropping
Werner Brothers, Discovery pears.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
To have flattened out. That's your top? What is that six?
You got? You got peacock? You got Hulu?
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Uh no, yes, I do, Yes, I know, I don't remember.
I don't think we have Peacock anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's what we watched The Office on. So I got
to have Peacock. Hmm.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
I could buy a I'm sure I could buy a
house with what I spin on my subscriptions for all
these things, so could everybody else.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
By the way, yeah, watching The Office.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I was on a plane the other day and the
gal was watching episodes of the Office. She's actually playing
a video game and listening to the audio. You know,
it's interesting. I don't let my kids do that. They
both want to do that. I don't let them do that,
watch something while they're playing a video game. I don't
know why.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I just like intuitively feel like that's a bad thing,
but I don't have any data to back that up.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yes, Kat for the brain.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, well, first, I'm going to need a raise to
support all of the streaming services that I have. It
is a problem, and my problem I'm noticing lately is
I'll start watching something and then I go into my
phone and I need to stop doing that. I'm doing
the phone television thing really bad.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's the second screen experience. No, it's the crack monkey experience.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
I'll be watching the news and saying, yeah, maybe I'll
just take a look at email and blah blah, and.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Then I'm like, oh, I just missed that report. Zap zaps.
I got to go back and listen. What is that?
You got one screen going but you have to go
to the other screen.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I don't know, but I do it a lot, and Joe,
I'm doing that frequently where I'll start something, go into
the phone, forget about the something on the TV, and
rewind maybe two or three times.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Would be an endorphin crack monkey. Could it go to
another level? Could I be?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Could I have the TV on, I'm looking at my
phone and then I go to my watch, so then
I got three things going at once.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
My husband's done it with a headphone in where he'll
be listening to music and then have the crack monkey
screen and the television.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Do you think it's wrong that I don't let my
kids play video games with a show on? It just
seems like too much to me do one or the other.
But I might just be an old man, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I had an uncomfortable conversation or two with our
youngest especially. We'd sit down, Hey, let's watch Muppet Christmas
Carol or something. Yeah it's Christmas time. Yeah, it's our favorite.
Blah blah blah, flipping on. She's looking at flipping through
her phone. It's like I thought we were going to
watch the movie. I am watching the movie.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
My son is that way now that he's got all
his friends have texting devices, is always texting, Hey, could you.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Stop texting long enough? Well, I just had get my
watch is blown up? All right? What I did?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
She'd get one of those those phone boxes you know what?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Oh like, yeah, boxes like.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
When I went to the copper Field magic thing, they
may just put our phones in a box. As first
time I'd ever had that experience. And then when you
took your phone out, it magically had an email from him.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Minute.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I don't know how he did that, seriously, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Like, wait on minute, weird? Theys something wrong there? I know.
I think he had little people under the table. It
could be clever little yes, exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Can you justify the second I'm trying to Can you
justify the second screen experience.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
If you're watching I will do it sometimes watching sports.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, I've done that before, Like what what did was
that guy drafted in like the.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Third round or the first round and Mike, Mike google
that real quick or something.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I'm more like, I'm going through email while I'm watching
between pitches or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Now I've got a problem.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
I'll be like watching a movie and then go into
Instagram for some reason and there's zero cause for it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Oh yeah, you're You'll be scratching the fleas soon cracked monkey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Telling you, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
And I'm playing a pipe organ with my feet. Oh,
this is going on. We will finish strong next strong.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
I think it's really important to note that Hamas has
said they want every day to be like October seventh,
and so I don't see how the Israelers have any
other option but to destroy Hamas and in RAFA, I
mean just yesterday the Israeli Defense Forces, in the limited
operation of Rafa, destroyed ten tunnels. And so this is
where Hamas's leadership is cowering. This is where they're holding
(29:13):
the hostages. They've killed in any of those hostages. So
you know, on the same day that President Biden said,
you know, likened October seventh to the Holocaust. That's the
same day he's cutting off munitions.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
So it's hr McMaster, Trump's former national security advisor. And
the first thing he said there, they're vowing for ten
thousand more October seventh. Still, how do you not wipe
that crowd out? To the last person, what's your argument
other than that it's.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Yeah, I like hr McMaster and those words came straight
out of my mouth, and vice versa. I agree with
him one hundred percent. That's what I'm been saying for
a long time. Glad to hear him agree.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Little better idea of who Hamas is in case you
didn't know from rchard Angle and NBC News and hey
college kids, I wish you could hear this.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
It's impossible for foreign journalists to get into Gaza because
Israel is not allowing access. But I used to go
to Gaza regularly, and Hamas was once elected, So at
one stage people did give them an opportunity because they
were not comfortable with the previous Palatinian authority. They wanted change,
so they did vote them in. But then Hamas took
(30:21):
over in a violent coup, killed the opposition and were
ruling through terror. Whenever I had encounters with Hamas or
the palest Indians that I was working with in Gaza
had encounters with Hamas, they were frightening experiences. You didn't
want Hamas coming to your door and asking questions about you,
or asking questions about your reports. You were afraid of them.
(30:44):
The palest Indians I worked with wanted as little to
do with Hamas as humanly possible. And yes, they kept
track on people, they kept files on people, and they
ruled through fear.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
That conversation came out of the big New York Times
story today that Hamas has been running Gaza like Stalin
ran the Soviet.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Union, or Mao ran China or she runs China.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now, I mean, just you know, if you say a
bad word about the government, you'll be drug out of
your house and beaten or disappear, and you freaking more
on college kids wearing their clothes and cots playing amas, I.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Would like to hear the more on college kids explain it.
I have a feeling I know where it would go.
If they've been well trained. They would probably say, well,
that's because the colonial settler occupiers. They've been forced into
a made them kill resistance band, makes them abuse fellow
Muslims that way and kill gay people. Yes, well they're
(31:43):
just that's the fault of the oppressors. All resistance is
legitimate resistance.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Guys, you're a US. Whoa you idiots? You're actually really
dumb as a dog baby. I saw a professor yesterday.
I was making the argument that the reason there are
(32:10):
no democraies in the democracies in the Middle East is
because of Israel. All of these countries that booted the
Jews out long long ago have not managed to put
together a democracy. Israel is a democracy, but the reason
they're not democracies is because of the Jews.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Difficult to argue with these people.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are
right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the
crew to wrap things up for the day.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
There is are technical Michael Angelo. Michael final thought, Okay,
I'm guilty.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I drive my wife crazy by doing the two screen
thing while we're watching TV.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I'll look at my tablet.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
And if she starts talking to me, sometimes I pull
out the tablet or my phone and I stop listening
to her.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So I gotta stop it. I know I got to stop.
Katie Green are esteemed news person. As a final thought, Katie,
I have.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Been called so many things in my life, and the
crack monkey today, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Was the first around your devices?
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yeah, Katie, the crack monkey, wake up and smell the
monkey house. Jack your final thought.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
For us, I am really trying to pair back the
amount of time when I'm not doing anything productive on
my device. If I can eliminate, I don't mind the
fact that I read a lot of news or as
long as I'm doing something, but if it's just killing time,
which it's very easy to slip into, that's the thing
(33:55):
I want to eliminate.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, yep here here.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
My final thought is I think I'm coming down with
a cold or something. And I texted my trainer guy
who I work with on my back problems, said, Hey,
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold, So
if you want to cancel, that's fine, he texted it back.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh no, we'll go ahead, like damn it. Oh, I
see you're hoping. Oh feel great. I want to lay around.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It's probably COVID with a just a hint of a bola,
so maybe the.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Twist of old bola. I'm not coughing up much blood.
Let's go ahead and get together.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Right, Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
So many people.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong Getdy dot com. Man,
we have a lot of great hot links there for
you today.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Enjoy.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Drop us a note if there's something we ought to
be talking about. The email addresses mail bag at Armstrong
and Getty dot com. Pick up some swag while you're
at the site.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
A nice T shirt Come on for that ang fan
in your life.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
No takers on the internship I was offering earlier in
the show. Somebody didn't come by my house and help
me get dressed in the morning.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Huh, rest your wounds.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I go wreck.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I can't just do it myself, and oh gross, all right,
keep doing it myself.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
See tomorrow. God bless America. I'm strong and Getty. This
is one of the low moments in American history. It
is are you sure, oh dead sure, absolutely.
Speaker 9 (35:19):
This has to stop, and it has to stop like
the day before yesterday.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I'm disgusted by what is happening here. This thing is
a farce. This is garbage. That's frankly, it used to go.
You need to kick that door down. It is a
painful moment. We get that sounds more educated. Thank you
all very much, Armstrong and Getty.
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center is.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
If you're like President Biden and you don't believe the polls,
then maybe this news won't bother you. But it's certainly
a tough one to swallow if you're not like President Biden.
Because the New York Times survey long Defilly Inquirer found
that Biden's behind Trump in five of six swing states,
all of which Biden won in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
This is among.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Registered voters, so trump'slating Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
Biden's only ahead in Wisconsin, and among likely voters the
race was closer. Biden eked out ahead of Trump and Michigan.
He was closer behind in Wisconsin in Pennsylvania, but the
results were similar with third party candidates in the race.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
So there's so many polls come out, and if you're
not super into this, I can understand why they would
all together. But this New York Times seen a pole
that everybody was talking about yesterday, is the most respected
poll in America. They only do four or five per
election year. They put a ton of money and resources
into it. It's historically been the most accurate, and it's
(01:17):
just so that's why it's getting so much attention. And
you know, fortunately or unfortunately, you know, you can have
some poll that's a fifth is respected, come out on
Wednesday and it'll get the same amount of coverage, and
so they all kind of blend together in your heads.
But that's why people are talking about it this way.
Mark Alprin writing about the poll. Unless public and private
polling of the battleground states is uniformly wrong, and unless
(01:41):
abortion and superior resources change how voters currently feel, Joe
Biden now has acts exactly one path to two hundred
and seventy electoral votes. He has to win all three Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania. One path is not great, but it is
a path that's better than zero paths. But that is
currently the situation. He's got to win Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
(02:03):
to win. Looking at it on one of the channels yesterday,
they got into it, blah blah bah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let me find it here with the same conclusion.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
By the way, bo Britt human Fox said yesterday, it's
not quite fair to say it's Trump's race to lose
at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
But it is definitely getting there. It keeps going this direction.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
The Great Lakes battlegrounds are the only thing Biden's campaign
has left to work with. That's the Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
where you're just talking about with the two seventy. They
have to give up on the Sun Belt battlegrounds. That's
what they said on CNN. They're just out of luck
on your Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, number of states like that
(02:46):
are just out of luck. So expect to see, well
one if you live in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan. Every
TV show you watch is going to have nineteen Joe
Biden ads in it. They're going to spend all their
money to those states. That's why I guess he's been
to Pennsylvania fifty times this year. Then it's close by,
and he can't really travel because he's an old man.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Apologies if this is kind of obvious analysis, but I
was trying to think what could hurt Trump at this
point because none of the trials are going to make
any difference, including the one that's going on right now.
The problem Biden's up against and it's an enormous problem
is that Trump is so well known, so thoroughly vetted
and discussed to the point of, my god, can we
(03:31):
talk about anything else. There's no revelation that's about to
come out against Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, the only angle, and he's not.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
In charge, so he won't be held responsible for things
going badly.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
The theory of the case for the Biden people is
that people have forgotten how bad Trump is, and then
they've got two billion dollars to spend up till election
day to remind enough of America just how crazy, chaotic, dangerous,
blah blah blah Trump is. That people are reminded, they'll
get back to where they were before. That's and it's
(04:03):
got their only theory of the case. Actually, of course,
you know, with five and a half months to go,
who knows what world events are going to come. Nobody
saw October seventh coming in Israel, so who knows. But also,
nothing major could happen over the next five and a
half months. We've had a lot of major things happen,
(04:23):
so we wouldn't be crazy to have like no major
event over the next five a half months, in which
case Biden's in tough shape. A little more from this
same survey on Hispanic and Black voters.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
The big driver here is sliding support for Biden among
black and Hispanic voters, largely because of the economy and inflation.
In twenty twenty, Biden won about ninety one percent of
the black vote according to a Fox voter analysis. In
twenty twenty four, that's down to sixty three percent in
this survey among Hispanics, Biden's lead is only about three points.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I still have in my head the day after the
election when they announced the winner, how obvious it's going
to feel either direction. If Biden loses, and he could
lose in a landslide where you just say, of course,
he's a million years old and everybody buys groceries the end,
(05:21):
I mean, how is this ever a question?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And then if a goal and.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Gim is approval ratings going into the election were unprecedented.
And then if it goes the other direction and Biden
wins and easily you say, of course it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He's got the highest negatives anybody's ever had. He was
not going to win.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I think the first, the first scenario better. The first story.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I believe more than the second story. But if Trump loses,
that is what it's going to be.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Well, we've never seen a ticket like the Democrats, a
corpse and a jackass, So.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I guess we'll hear from the jackass. We've already discussed
we need to hear from you. Did she do this
on purpose? Was this some sort of I'm as tough
as any guy? Is this some sort of play for
the younger vote? Why did Kambala Harris say this?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
This is part of what's involved, is that we have
to know that sometimes people will open the door for
you and leave it open.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Sometimes they won't, and then you need to kick that
door down. Is an F bomb?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
If you didn't hear it, see my language got her
laugh at weird times. Is so off putting. It doesn't
have the sound of she didn't mean to drop an
F bomb?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But did it? Says?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I think it has more of the sound of I'm
going to put an F bomb here for these calculated reasons.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
What are the calculated reasons? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I'm scanning email real quick to see if anybody wanted
to weigh in, and not really in a persuasive way.
I don't know, she's such a jackass. That's it's difficult
to come up with a sane explanation for why a
jackass does what they do unless you are able to
(07:26):
delve into their jackass ory and understand it.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, I don't. I have no idea why she did that.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
I can see you know it just it seems like
a reasonable thing to say, got.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
To kick down that FN door because you're into it,
you need to kick that door down.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
No vice presidential or presidential candidate has dropped an F
bomb on purpose? Have they has drop dropped an F bomb?
He obviously curses a lot. Has he dropped that bombs? Yeah, definitely, Yeah,
like rallies and stuff. Yeah, I just don't even remember.
It's funny though, if it's your brand, it doesn't stand
out the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's not her. F bombs are not her brand, and
I think it not it being your brand is an
okay thing.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
We don't We don't need to go further down the
road of this to where it just be.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Is expected an effort.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
That's what debate you. You're an effing liar. You're an
effing liar.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Few her insane guffaw, Well, she's so pleased with herself.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Well that's the maniacal laugh of the insane.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And she goes on for like ten seconds, so guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
And there's reporting from people with sources saying this, the
powerful people in the Democratic Party are in a panic
over Joe Biden. Well, when this New York Times poll
hit them Sunday night, they went into they were texting
each other and calling each other. Again, We've been asking
this question now for years. Are they thinking we've got
to dump Biden? But is anybody wanting to dump Biden
(09:08):
for Kamala Harris? Is she angling for the job at
the behest of powerful people or is she completely on
her own trying to elevate herself with nobody really interested.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
In this is the most election of our lifetime. This
is the most election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Well, there are no power people who are trying to
elevate Kamala Harris, guaranteed, none of any significance.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
It would be terrible, some sort of flea bitten three
leg a dog that you're training for the Westminster Dog Show.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I mean, just you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
So, yeah, I suspect she's just trying desperately to audition
for something, or you know, is she and her people
understand if Joe Biden wins the election, she will be
the president of the United States sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And she still sounds like a jackass. Trump hasn't said
that yet.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I don't think well, the Republican Party start saying that
at some point, Yes, a vote for Biden's a vote
for Harris.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely, they'll or their surrogates will
do it and go big. Somebody or other will hammer
that angle for weeks and months. Do you think this
is the most important election of our lifetime? I have
mocked that idea.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Our entire talk radio career every election, them saying like,
give me a break, But I think this might actually be.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It's in your top tier for sure. Who would you
put up there? Oh man, you're gonna put me on
the spot. I don't think I can come up with
anything bigger than this.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
George Bush second time, which enabled him to completely screw
up Iraq even more than he did the first term.
I don't know that's it. Well, given the whole woke
DEI Marxist crowd that the Biden administration is pushing yeah,
I think if we let Marxism get even further and
(11:03):
capture the minds and hearts of more of our children,
that could do terrible, terrible damage.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I may be going along with you, I hate you.
You're gonna have to drown me there, but I know
I hate to be the sort of person that says
that I'm trying to dig in my heels and I
just keep slipping.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And his lack of willingness to confront the reality of
these foreign situations, that's what worries me.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Who the hell knows what Kamala Harris thinks about Israel
and Hamas or Ukraine. Nobody's got the slightest idea Reagan Carter.
Maybe that's what I was gonna throw out there.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Yeah, we're even going to double down on the awful
Malaysy Jimmy Carter, throw.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
On a sweater and turn down the thermostad. Yeah, go
to hell.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
There's a shining city on the hill I want to
talk about, said.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Rod Reagan, and he let us to greet this.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Any who oh god, dang it. I am so excited
for the way this is going to play out. Though,
when I divorced myself from the you know how it's
gonna affect my checkbook and my kid's future. It's just
damn and exciting politics. I mean, holy crap, we're going
to both conventions. I have no idea what they're going
to be like.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I don't know if the either ticket is going to
be the same as it is now.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, I think that Trump conventional the Republicans will be
a lot like twenty sixteen was in a way. Uh,
the Democrats is going to be a poop show.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I think I.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Think it'll be significantly more united the Trump convention than
twenty sixteen. Remember you had the old Ted Cruz thing
and would he go along?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And there's a big chunk people I didn't want vote
your conscience.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, it'll be one hundred percent behind Trump at the convention. Yeah, true,
it's gonna be nuts.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I don't. Well, five and a half months, yep.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It is time for us to do what we have
been doing in that time as every day. Maybe the
most interesting part of the whole thing is her and
what that piece adds to the complexity.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Because what the hell, God, if.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
It was anybody else, practically anybody else, they would have
dumped Joe Biden already, and.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
The fact that they don't feel like they can get
rid of her because she's arguably ethnic of color.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
But you're gonna say she's arb arguably a black woman.
She's a black woman.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Well, yeah, don't even get me start foughts.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Text Line four oneftc Armstrong and.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
What is the joing?
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Viral here in New York City and elevator security camera
caught a delivery driver eating toppings off someone's Papa John's beef.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Jeez, it's never gonna.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Be ask to the door and the delivery guy's chewing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I don't like you eating my toppings because my pizza
will have less toppings on it. What I hate is
that you probably are picking them off with your hands.
I don't want you sticking your fingers on my pizza
unless you very very carefully, just touch only the sausage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You're plucking in the granite.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
We had the Panda Express last night, made with good
fresh Panda. We were talking about, like, what a magic
because we saw David Copperfield. It was like a David
Copperfield magic trick. They're tiny box. You think there's not
enough food in this tiny box? And then you open
it up and it's like a whole plate full of
walnut trip comes out. It's like a magic trick. I
don't know how they do that. Magically delicious a couple
(14:48):
of tech things. So earlier we were talking about this
portal between Dublin and New York. I don't anything about this.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
What is this?
Speaker 7 (14:55):
So it's an eight by eight foot camera and it's
a live stream. So as you're walking through this portion
of New York City, there's this giant eight by eight
screen and you can look directly at Dublin, Ireland and
people passing by there. And so it's a way too,
they said, bridge then they're looking at you.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, so you can.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
You can live stream back and forth through this giant
camera and they're having a lot of problems with troublemakers.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Well, yeah, I can stand there on the streets in
New York and wave to somebody in Dublin.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
They're waving back at me. Yeah, and this OnlyFans.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Model in New York decided to flash the Dublin Ireland
folks and said that she thought that the people of Dublin,
Ireland deserved to see some New York homegrown potatoes.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Hot chicks trying to go viral. Whar's me out? God?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I have no time for them whatsoever. But I like
the portal idea. I hope that happens a lot more places.
I mean, I feel like it could have with some
sort of semi profound effect on making us all feel
closer than we are or something.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I don't know, you think so, am I overthinking?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yeah? No, I don't think that's completely crazy. Although a
bunch of people standing on the street like jumping up
and down and waving and yelling at each other as
just a novelty, it'd be kind of cool if there were,
I don't know, some sort of museum or center or
something where you could go and see. Wait a minute, Mumbai, India. Okay, yeah,
I'll wait in line. I'll talk to somebody in Mumbai.
(16:16):
I'm second in line to talk to somebody. Meanwhile, in
Mumbai there's a line different people. I'd say, Hi, I'm Joe,
I'm blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, a couple of tech things. So Apple has to.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Speak English foreigners, all right, or wasting our time?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Apple has a new update out iOS seventeen point five
that they're urging everybody with an iPhone to get because
it's got new security stuff that's supposed to beat back
the very latest attempts to break into your phone, and
usually they do that for a reason.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Excellent.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, there's something out there worth being cautious about. It
occurs to me, I've forgotten our own radio show. We
were just talking about the brand new version of chat GPT,
which can simultaneously translate a couple of different languages. So
obviously lead my little portal would be equipped with that,
and I'd be chatting with the person Mumbai, whether they
spoke English or not.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
One other Apple thing that I learned just the other day,
I did not know. I not sure should I tell
you or not. I think I should probably tell you. Yeah,
it's okay to tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Stay tuned. We'll have that carey to tell you a
secret or something. What are you talking about? Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
And of course we know that from the polls that
have come out, even from the New York Times Rasmussen
Interactive this week, President Trump is leading all over the country.
And the conclusion you could draw from that is the
American people have already acquitted Donald Trump because the things
that they're concerned about inflation, crime, the border, the economy,
(17:47):
all of these things. President Trump is leading by huge
double digits versus Joe Biden, and the sooner that this
scam trial can be concluded, the sooner that the President
can get back to getting out campaigning and talking to America,
can people about the issues that matter to them.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
That's Doug Burghum, the governor of North Dakota, and the
Stormy Daniels trial or whatever you want to call it,
has become some unofficial vice president running mate like American
Idol thing where all of the potential candidates are showing
up there and giving speeches and stuff, all of them. Yeah,
(18:25):
he's not gonna light up anybody's world, but he nailed that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's a good surrogate right there.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, well, some people believe that lighting up somebody's world
is not what Donald Trump wants. He doesn't want somebody
that would get more attention than him, right or challenge
him for the spotlight. And so yeah, you know, see
Mike Pence, but I think Bergham's the guy. I think
he'd be a great choice. So we'll see how that
plays out. Got a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Mentioned.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Apple has a new update that they're encouraging you to
get if you got Apple products. Usually when they say that,
it's because there's some sort of awful thing out there
in the world that can corrupt your phone or your computer,
and they've come up with a fixed for it, so
it's worth downloading. But one of the things that comes
with the new device is their ability to detect third.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Party tracking devices.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
So when air tags first hit the scene, I thought, wow,
So the thing that seemed so cool in James Bond
movies or every cop show I watched in the seventies,
now everybody has a tracking device and you could put
it in somebody's luggage or their car or whatever like that. Well,
then Apple had to quickly come up with a fix
(19:35):
to that to detect it well now, but there are
a bunch of cheaper third party options out there. And
I had a similar experience this to the other day.
Henry went off with his mom and they went they're
going to go camping, and I've got the tracking thing
(19:56):
on his watch. I can see where he goes based
on where he goes. Because of his watch, I can
see it on my phone if I wanted to. And
she got with a completely different phone package and everything
like that she got an alert on her phone that
somebody was tracking Henry's watch.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh and then interesting.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Wow, yes, yes, Now I don't know if that happens
if you don't all have Apple products, like if one
of us had added an Android or something like that.
But that's interesting. So if somebody got in my car
that was being tracked by somebody else, I would get
an alert on my phone.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't ever go anywhere like mysterious.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Or any place I'm trying to keep a secret, so
I don't really worry about this sort of stuff, and
I'm not tracking anybody.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So but I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah. I never go anywhere at all, so that makes
it easier to track me. So now wait a minute,
So so you've.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All got Apple products.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, but she's not on my son and I My
two sons and I are all on my phone.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah, but you said they can also let you know
if third party trackers are tracking.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Some the cheaper versions of air tag from some other company.
That's what the new Apple software says. It can let
you know you know, there is one of those devices
on your car somewhere.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, I don't know how many degrees of separation or
permitted or involved or work. I mean, yeah, I'm I
kind of need a chart. Can somebody draw me a chart?
It kind of creeped me out.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I didn't care, and I don't even know why it
creeped me out, But there's something about it that I
found creepy. Her phone getting an alert that I can
see where his watches.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I don't have a problem with that, I guess. So
now I wasn't hiding it odd turn of events that
I was somehow involved in this. Would I get an
alert that she got an alert that somebody is tracking Henry.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
That's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
And then would Judy find out that I got that alert?
I don't know how many layers it goes. And then
the next thing, you know, Kevin Bacon gets an alert.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Exactly. Huh. Interesting?
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Speaking of technology, I thought this was so interesting. If
an American is it tells you what'd you do last night?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I watched TV.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The chances are, except for one exception, that they were
watching YouTube. That is the second most popular thing to
be watching now and YouTube. I just I was watching
a concert last night, and I'm so sick of middle
of a song. Right before the big chorus, it goes
to some stupid ass ad And so I thought, all right,
(22:42):
on YouTube, I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna describe I do now.
Oh okay, So I went ahead and did the two
month trial. It's thirteen to ninety nine a month.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It's worth it, man, it is worth AD free if
you spend much time on YouTube. But yeah, it's worth it.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah, but like everybody else, that's one hundred and twenty
second right subscription. But so anyway, I went ahead and
did it. But and they mentioned that they're full. Let's see,
where's the where's the list of the pleasures of YouTube?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
If my kids have between the two of them, spent
five minutes on ABC, NBC or CBS in the last year,
I would be surprised five minutes. I'm talking YouTube every day.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
I am not that familiar with how YouTube works these days.
But they mentioned full length films, highly produced series, sports highlights,
and live events.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's not YouTube TV. That's just YouTube. Yeah, just regular
YouTube like Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Every sketch is individually on there from the SNL site,
and every other show that you can think of. Tonight's show,
Last Night Jimmy Fallon. Everything he did is on there
somewhere if you want to see it.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
So your number one streaming service right now, here's the end.
They're trying to change your child into a transgender that's right. Disney,
It's about eleven and a half percent of viewing is
the various Disney properties, which include uh Disney plus, Hulu
and ESPN.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I guess, so I'm guessing that's people camping their little
kids in front of the TV for Disney stuff, the
big glowing babysitter. That's what I'm guessing for.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
That could be not far behind it, Like nine point
eight percent is YouTube.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
YouTube as I read the other day how it's expected
to grow by multiples over the next couple of years,
and it's already a behamoth so the fact that it's
getting bigger, but yeah, it's it's pretty amazing how big
a part of my life and my kid's life. YouTube
is interesting metic lessons. I'm on on YouTube every single
day for piano lessons. Uh.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Netflix has gone from eight point one to seven point
six recently.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Percent.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
They're They're a dropping, as is NBC Universal, slightly dropping
Werner Brothers, Discovery pears.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
To have flattened out. That's your top? What is that six?
You got? You got peacock? You got Hulu?
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Uh no, yes, I do, Yes, I know, I don't remember.
I don't think we have Peacock anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's what we watched The Office on. So I got
to have Peacock. Hmm.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
I could buy a I'm sure I could buy a
house with what I spin on my subscriptions for all
these things, so could everybody else.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
By the way, yeah, watching The Office.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I was on a plane the other day and the
gal was watching episodes of the Office. She's actually playing
a video game and listening to the audio. You know,
it's interesting. I don't let my kids do that. They
both want to do that. I don't let them do that,
watch something while they're playing a video game. I don't
know why.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
I just like intuitively feel like that's a bad thing,
but I don't have any data to back that up.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yes, Kat for the brain.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, well, first, I'm going to need a raise to
support all of the streaming services that I have. It
is a problem, and my problem I'm noticing lately is
I'll start watching something and then I go into my
phone and I need to stop doing that. I'm doing
the phone television thing really bad.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's the second screen experience. No, it's the crack monkey experience.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
I'll be watching the news and saying, yeah, maybe I'll
just take a look at email and blah blah, and.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Then I'm like, oh, I just missed that report. Zap zaps.
I got to go back and listen. What is that?
You got one screen going but you have to go
to the other screen.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I don't know, but I do it a lot, and Joe,
I'm doing that frequently where I'll start something, go into
the phone, forget about the something on the TV, and
rewind maybe two or three times.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Would be an endorphin crack monkey. Could it go to
another level? Could I be?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Could I have the TV on, I'm looking at my
phone and then I go to my watch, so then
I got three things going at once.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
My husband's done it with a headphone in where he'll
be listening to music and then have the crack monkey
screen and the television.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Do you think it's wrong that I don't let my
kids play video games with a show on? It just
seems like too much to me do one or the other.
But I might just be an old man, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, I had an uncomfortable conversation or two with our
youngest especially. We'd sit down, Hey, let's watch Muppet Christmas
Carol or something. Yeah it's Christmas time. Yeah, it's our favorite.
Blah blah blah, flipping on. She's looking at flipping through
her phone. It's like I thought we were going to
watch the movie. I am watching the movie.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
My son is that way now that he's got all
his friends have texting devices, is always texting, Hey, could you.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Stop texting long enough? Well, I just had get my
watch is blown up? All right? What I did?
Speaker 7 (27:27):
She'd get one of those those phone boxes you know what?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Oh like, yeah, boxes like.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
When I went to the copper Field magic thing, they
may just put our phones in a box. As first
time I'd ever had that experience. And then when you
took your phone out, it magically had an email from him.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Minute.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I don't know how he did that, seriously, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Like, wait on minute, weird? Theys something wrong there? I know.
I think he had little people under the table. It
could be clever little yes, exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Can you justify the second I'm trying to Can you
justify the second screen experience.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
If you're watching I will do it sometimes watching sports.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, I've done that before, Like what what did was
that guy drafted in like the.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Third round or the first round and Mike, Mike google
that real quick or something.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
I'm more like, I'm going through email while I'm watching
between pitches or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Now I've got a problem.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
I'll be like watching a movie and then go into
Instagram for some reason and there's zero cause for it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Oh yeah, you're You'll be scratching the fleas soon cracked monkey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Telling you, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
And I'm playing a pipe organ with my feet. Oh,
this is going on. We will finish strong next strong.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
I think it's really important to note that Hamas has
said they want every day to be like October seventh,
and so I don't see how the Israelers have any
other option but to destroy Hamas and in RAFA, I
mean just yesterday the Israeli Defense Forces, in the limited
operation of Rafa, destroyed ten tunnels. And so this is
where Hamas's leadership is cowering. This is where they're holding
(29:13):
the hostages. They've killed in any of those hostages. So
you know, on the same day that President Biden said,
you know, likened October seventh to the Holocaust. That's the
same day he's cutting off munitions.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
So it's hr McMaster, Trump's former national security advisor. And
the first thing he said there, they're vowing for ten
thousand more October seventh. Still, how do you not wipe
that crowd out? To the last person, what's your argument
other than that it's.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Yeah, I like hr McMaster and those words came straight
out of my mouth, and vice versa. I agree with
him one hundred percent. That's what I'm been saying for
a long time. Glad to hear him agree.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Little better idea of who Hamas is in case you
didn't know from rchard Angle and NBC News and hey
college kids, I wish you could hear this.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
It's impossible for foreign journalists to get into Gaza because
Israel is not allowing access. But I used to go
to Gaza regularly, and Hamas was once elected, So at
one stage people did give them an opportunity because they
were not comfortable with the previous Palatinian authority. They wanted change,
so they did vote them in. But then Hamas took
(30:21):
over in a violent coup, killed the opposition and were
ruling through terror. Whenever I had encounters with Hamas or
the palest Indians that I was working with in Gaza
had encounters with Hamas, they were frightening experiences. You didn't
want Hamas coming to your door and asking questions about you,
or asking questions about your reports. You were afraid of them.
(30:44):
The palest Indians I worked with wanted as little to
do with Hamas as humanly possible. And yes, they kept
track on people, they kept files on people, and they
ruled through fear.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
That conversation came out of the big New York Times
story today that Hamas has been running Gaza like Stalin
ran the Soviet.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Union, or Mao ran China or she runs China.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now, I mean, just you know, if you say a
bad word about the government, you'll be drug out of
your house and beaten or disappear, and you freaking more
on college kids wearing their clothes and cots playing amas, I.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Would like to hear the more on college kids explain it.
I have a feeling I know where it would go.
If they've been well trained. They would probably say, well,
that's because the colonial settler occupiers. They've been forced into
a made them kill resistance band, makes them abuse fellow
Muslims that way and kill gay people. Yes, well they're
(31:43):
just that's the fault of the oppressors. All resistance is
legitimate resistance.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Guys, you're a US. Whoa you idiots? You're actually really
dumb as a dog baby. I saw a professor yesterday.
I was making the argument that the reason there are
(32:10):
no democraies in the democracies in the Middle East is
because of Israel. All of these countries that booted the
Jews out long long ago have not managed to put
together a democracy. Israel is a democracy, but the reason
they're not democracies is because of the Jews.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Difficult to argue with these people.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I have some final thoughts, and some people say they
are the greatest final thoughts they've ever heard. But if
you look at what's happening, I would have to say
Armstrong and Getty have some wonderful final thoughts. They are
right up there with Abraham Lincoln and everybody knows it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the
crew to wrap things up for the day.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
There is are technical Michael Angelo. Michael final thought, Okay,
I'm guilty.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I drive my wife crazy by doing the two screen
thing while we're watching TV.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I'll look at my tablet.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
And if she starts talking to me, sometimes I pull
out the tablet or my phone and I stop listening
to her.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So I gotta stop it. I know I got to stop.
Katie Green are esteemed news person. As a final thought, Katie,
I have.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Been called so many things in my life, and the
crack monkey today, wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Was the first around your devices?
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:28):
Yeah, Katie, the crack monkey, wake up and smell the
monkey house. Jack your final thought.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
For us, I am really trying to pair back the
amount of time when I'm not doing anything productive on
my device. If I can eliminate, I don't mind the
fact that I read a lot of news or as
long as I'm doing something, but if it's just killing time,
which it's very easy to slip into, that's the thing
(33:55):
I want to eliminate.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, yep here here.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
My final thought is I think I'm coming down with
a cold or something. And I texted my trainer guy
who I work with on my back problems, said, Hey,
I feel like I'm coming down with a cold, So
if you want to cancel, that's fine, he texted it back.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh no, we'll go ahead, like damn it. Oh, I
see you're hoping. Oh feel great. I want to lay around.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It's probably COVID with a just a hint of a bola,
so maybe the.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Twist of old bola. I'm not coughing up much blood.
Let's go ahead and get together.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Right, Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
So many people.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Thanks a little time. Go to Armstrong Getdy dot com. Man,
we have a lot of great hot links there for
you today.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Enjoy.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Drop us a note if there's something we ought to
be talking about. The email addresses mail bag at Armstrong
and Getty dot com. Pick up some swag while you're
at the site.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
A nice T shirt Come on for that ang fan
in your life.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
No takers on the internship I was offering earlier in
the show. Somebody didn't come by my house and help
me get dressed in the morning.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Huh, rest your wounds.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I go wreck.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I can't just do it myself, and oh gross, all right,
keep doing it myself.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
See tomorrow. God bless America. I'm strong and Getty. This
is one of the low moments in American history. It
