Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
We need greenland for national security purposes.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You look outside.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You have China ships all over the place. You have
Russian ships all over the place.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're not letting that happen.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you
take a look at what that looks like, and it
would also be much better for national security. We're spending
hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We lose in trade deficits.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to trump the Gulf of America. Mexico has
to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Yeah, Gulf of America, Which, why why didn't we do
this a long time ago? That's the only thing I
thought when he said, Yeah, obviously we should call it
the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're going to plate the Bahamas in gold, gold plated islands.
There'll be a mini People are saying they'll be the
most beautiful islands. So just to summarize, we're annexing Greenland
and Canada and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And I'm in favor of all three.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
So I heard a Greenland politician on NPR today talking about, Yeah,
we got Chinese ships right after our shore. They're surveilling,
it's on a daily basis, and he was all for
some sort of falling under the umbrella of the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's absolutely necessary.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We've talked about it a couple of times today, including
it length I think during our one. But yeah, Greenland
and the Arctic in general is going to be of
enormous I mean, you can't even comprehend how enormous strategic
significance in the next fifty years. And yeah, what is
Denmark going to defend the free trade around the world.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
No, we are, And so we've.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Got to reevaluate our relationship with Greenland in what form
that takes.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Who knows the deal with Grenmark.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Denmark is fairly recent, that's what this politician was talking
about on NPR. I didn't know about that, I think
fifty six or something like that. The hell did Denmark
end up Greenland?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, and we'd looked at buying it or something to
that effect a couple of times and it just didn't
go through. But it's not that crazy. I mean, it's
fifty six thousand people. It's an enormous mass of land
and frozen fresh water, mostly of again, an incredible strategic importance,
and it's not like we're gonna run rough shot in
there and burn it like Sherman on his way to
(02:36):
Atlanta or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The c ATV Park, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Call Lord anyway. So more on that to come, I'm
sure in the days ahead. But as usual Trump he
left it vague enough. It sounded kind of loopy, but
when you dig into the details, pretty great. Canada is
not going to become part of the United States. He's
just dicking with them. Pardon me, he's trolling them as
part of going into trade negotiations.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The Gulf of America, though, you got me a hundred.
What the hell is it?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
The Gulf of Mexico. Please, we surrounded as much as
they do. If there's oil drilling, we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Maybe you're not fair of that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But if something goes wrong in the Gulf of Mexico,
if there's a natural disaster, a hurricane, an oil spell, whatever,
who cleans it up? The car tells no, the United
States government.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
As we said yesterday, when you change the name of
something like that, who do you call the map people?
Or I mean, what is the system for that?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well? And what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I mean I could call it Jimmy the Golf or
the Gulf of Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Or what significance does that have?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, okay, anyway, So I don't like I'm against cynicism
in general, because often it is laziness. It's the I
reject everything. I'm smarter than everyone. Everything everybody says is stupid.
I mean, that's like adolescent intellectual laziness. Yeah, I'm skeptical.
You got to be a realist.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, but that was you portrayed that as like an
overall life philosophy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Obviously that would be bad.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm pretty I'm pretty cynical about government. I mean, I'm
past skeptical into My assumption is you're bad in a thief.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You're already in Greenland ahead of the hundred and first
airborne jack.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's exactly what I was going.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
To point out, and the oh my god, I gave
up the classified plans they briefed me.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I swore I wouldn't say anything. So I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So got everyone. Ranger is going to land in Greenland. Say,
and now, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
There's nobody.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh yeah, they're sailing right now. Oh no, I did
it again. Oh I'm so sorry to fight.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
There's nobody here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
One of the most telling, devastating, sickening parts of Mark
Leivivich's brilliant book This Town. We've talked about this more
than once, but when uh, he is talking to a
couple of political consultants, avvyweight political guys, like campaign director
type guys, as they're gonna do an appearance on a
(05:11):
talk show and jaw with each other, argue with each
other and call each other names and the rest of it.
And they're good buddies. They're laughing and yucking it up
in the green room. Then they're going to go off
to the cocktail parties and the private schools and the
you know, rich parts of DC Metro that they all
live in. And one of them says, and this is
the classic definition of a gaff.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
He says, accidentally says the truth out loud.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He says something the effect of somebody's not in on
the joke or they don't get the joke, and Leibovich
has to try a couple of times to get them
to admit what the joke is. And finally the guy says,
the joke is that we're patriots.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Okay, that is disturbing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That ought to disturb you. If it doesn't, well again,
you're already there. And I congratulate you for your realism
and so on. Of my missions. So one of my
mini jihads is to help people understand that while morality
and decency and patriotism and all those things are really
important and I'm not cynical about them at.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All, you've got to be aware that.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Evil, cynical people use moral arguments because they know you
are a moral person, and they use those to win
the day and then do evil things. And you've got
to be aware of when people are doing that. It's
like the old saying, and it's been used about Islam
around the world. When and you know, to paraphrase it,
(06:41):
when we're in the minority, we will shout about free
expression because we don't have the power. When we have
the power, because that's your principles. When we have the power,
we're gonna suppress free expression because that's our principles. You've
just got to understand that as people are hitting you
with arguments. For instance, Haakim Jeffries, very very bright guys,
(07:05):
the minority leader of the Senate of the House. Now
he took over from Nancy Pelosi, Liberal from New York.
But he was speaking on the House floor after the
election of Mike Johnson as a speaker a couple of
days ago, and he said, and I quote two months ago,
the American people elected Donald Trump as the forty seventh
(07:25):
President of the United States of America. And then they
the Republicans, clapped. He said, thank you for that very
generous applause, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Says, it's okay. There are no election deniers on our
side of the aisle. You see.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
One should love America. One should love America when you
win and when you lose. That's the patriotic thing to do.
And that's the America that House Democrats will fight hard
to preserve because we love this country.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I agree with every word he said. And it's such
an interesting to me moral dilemma, undrum, thought provoking situation.
When you've got a gun drawn on a serial killer
who's about to attack somebody, and he says, whoa murder
is wrong? He's right, but you probably ought to shoot him.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Well, I don't know where are you going with this,
with the.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, you've got somebody completely immoral expressing a moral argument
that you agree with in order to get ahead. And
what do you do? What do I do? Since I
agree with every word Hakim Jeffrey said, but I know
what a hypocrite he is to wit March twenty two
to twenty seventeen, and I quote these happened to be tweets.
(08:43):
With legitimacy of Trump's presidential election in doubt, his lifetime
appointment of the Supreme Court can wait. Hashtag filibuster Gorsicic
stop gorsicch Febs sixteen, twenty eighteen. The more we learn
about the twenty sixteen election, the more illegitimate it becomes.
America deserves to know whether we have a fake president
in the Oval office. Hashtag Russian interference September twenty eighth,
(09:04):
twenty eighteen lie more than any administration in the history
of the public Cheat twenty sixteen election. Russian interference steal
one or two Supreme Court seats. When will Republicans put
country ahead of party? August thirteen, twenty twenty, It's now
clear the effort to destroy the Post office is part
of a continuing conspiracy to steal the election for the
(09:25):
most corrupt administration in American history. Remember that the entire
crime family must be held accountable. And November twenty twenty,
history will never accept you as a legitimate president. Twenty fourteen.
I'm sorry, say.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Funny twist on that if I could go back in time,
he wins again.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
September of twenty one, Republicans hijacked the judiciary by stealing
two Supreme Court seats, and now they want us to
respect illegitimate decisions from these people. October of twenty two,
right wing extremists are publicly plotting to steal the next
presidential election.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And on and on.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He is an election denier extraordinay, he's one of the
kings of it, making the moral argument to us that
how dare you You should never ever do that.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You can't be cynical enough about these people.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No you can't, No, you can't.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And I took in a fair amount of information about
the founding and the Constitution and stuff over the break,
and I was having those thoughts. I mean, were they
just a better class of people than us. Did our
culture decay to an extent where we can't have people
(10:44):
that actually care more about the country than their party.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Politicians have always been politicians.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I mean, and the podcast I was listening to, for instance,
one example of how quickly things can turn.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, we had the Bill of Rights and.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Free speech being number one, and it was just a
couple of years later that the sitting president in Congress passed.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The law outlawing saying anything bad about the.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Country, right, it was the Alien and Sedition Acts.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
One of the worst things that's ever passed in the
country was the Founding Generation themselves.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah, so, I don't know. Maybe that's just the state
of humanity. It's the seduction of power. It's power makes
you do perverse things. I think part of the answer.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
To your question, and that was the exception, but I
still think part of the answer is they were so
close to overcoming the crisis of oppression by Britain and
fighting for freedom than the articles of the Confederation falling apart.
Anybody who was like openly power hungry and damaging the country.
(11:50):
I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Lincoln
and one of the great Supreme Court justices said, Look,
if the Constitution doesn't live in the hearts of the people,
there's no army, there's no laws, there's nothing that can
save it. And if it does live in the hearts
of the people, there's nothing that can end it. And
we're at a point now where, especially in our political class,
(12:11):
we are so rich and so comfortable, and there's so
much power and money at stake, and we're so safe
that that impulsive you dare not threaten the health of
this country is given away to the opposite. Nobody cares
about the health of the country. We're great, will always
be great.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Grab what you can, right, there's going to be a
lot of money passed through my hands or my area.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I'm gonna get mine.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like the Biden family, they got rich, got their twenty
four LLC's going laundered, the money got away. What the
hell the guy got elected to the White House?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I am too.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
If you have any thoughts on that, because I wonder
about that all the time. Is that just a different
breed of people, or has it always been this way
tax line four one KFTC.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
A nutrition study analyzed the health benefits of various ultra
processed foods and drinks, and scientists have revealed that you
lose twelve minutes of your life every time you drink
a coke. What explains why Coca cola chants are slogan
from taste the feeling to get your affairs in order?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Wow, twelve minutes per coke, So four of them and
I've lost to you an hour.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Practically, I guess I.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Have five minutes per cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So if I wash down my cancer stick with a coke, Wow,
that's rough.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I am trying to cut back on the ultra process
anything that comes in a plastic bag I am. I'm
making a definite effort to have lessen. Hey, Katie, I
need you to do something because it's going to factor
into the end of this little conversation. Will you get
the Google definition or the Dictionary definition of neurotic for me?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Because I think that's what I am.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't know if I'm neurotic or a missingthroat more
one of the two anyway, So I was gonna mention
this this is all leading to that didn't watch the
Golden Globes the other night, but one of the biggest
winners was the movie The Brutalist, which I don't even
know if I'd ever heard of, but I won a
whole bunch of dang awards.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Do you know about the Rutless or have you seen it?
Just the headline? Okay, I had exactly the same reaction.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Escaping post war Europe, a visionary architect comes to America
to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage on
his own in a strange new country. He settles in Pennsylvania,
where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognizes his talent.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It's all in the execution, right.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So welcome to our country. Yeah, all that sort of stuff.
So it sounds like it is really really good. Denzel
Washington ended up losing. He set some sort of record
by being nominated for a certain number of times for
his role in a Gladiator two, which I have seen
and I saw with my kids. Over the break, Henry
and I watched the first Gladiator, which I'd forgotten how
(14:42):
great it is, and it is now in my top
certainly my top five all time movies. What an amazing
movie that is. But Gladiator two not as good in
a whole bunch of different ways. Denzel Washington was fantastic.
The really great actors they like stand out against the
other pe and I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I would agree, and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Particularly that doesn't mean I want to hear their opinion
about anything other than acting.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Although I would agree with most of what Denzel Washington
has to say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, Well a lot of movie acting is so
weird because it's just you and the camera and it's
just you're not reacting to people just anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But it's an art form certainly.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, But here's what happened going to the theater. Well,
what's a neurotic? Tell me what a neurotic is.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Well, you would have something called neurosis, which is a
mental condition that is not caused by organic disease, involving
symptoms of stress, depression, or anxiety, but also not a
radical loss of touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The way I always heard it described in psych class
was that if you're a psychotic, you do not perceive
reality as it is. If you're neurotic, you perceive it correctly,
but you come to the wrong conclusions.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
And I don't think that's what I am I'm a missanthrope.
I hate all humanity. Maybe that's it. But anyway, so
for this movie theater, you had to, like I have
book your seats.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Ahead of time or whatever.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, fine, we get to the movie theater and there's
nobody there. It's literally empty. We go in, we sit down.
Shortly before the movie starts. You know where I'm going here,
three people come in in an empty movie theater and
walk in and sit.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Right in front of us.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
So I wanted to ask the guy if we could
go outside, not to fight him, but to interview him,
because I want to know more about his life. I
want to know, what do you do for a living?
Are you married, do you pay taxes? What other views
do you have that makes you so freaking insane that
in an empty movie theater you would sit right in
(16:43):
front of the only people in there.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Right, Yeah, I'm the same. First, I would be just
insane with annoyance. Then I would think I want to
know more.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Right, just what the hell goes on in your mind
that you did that?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And it makes me crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I mean, it makes me more crazy that he exists
and wondering about him than the fact he was sitting
right in front of me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I'll send spitballs in the back of the neck Cake
Cure and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
The technology is head turning, allowing your car to come
to you from anywhere in the parking lot through Tesla's
phone app and the touch of a button.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
No driver inside. But the National Highway Traffic.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Safety Administration is raising concerns about the actually smart sum
in feature in an estimated two and a half million Teslas,
saying it is launching a probe over reported problems of
failing to detect posts or parked vehicles resulting in a
crash and the operator not having enough time to react.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Well, that would suck if I press the button for
my Tesla to come to me and it backs into somebody.
Now that has changed my afternoon. First of all, they're
what do you say, two million Teslas in the whole country.
That's a tiny number at that being the most popular
electric car out there. The new software update on the
self driving really good, smoother than it's ever been. But
(18:10):
somehow I got it on an old lady setting. Today
it's coming to work. It's like, how slow were we
gonna go?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
How much?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
How many car links do we need? To leave here
the old lady I got to change it. Or it
was a student driver with the teacher with them, that's
what it was driving.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like currently taking driving tech.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I need to set up for aggressive man on the
way to work, That's what it needs to be said up.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, it's a grudge against humidity exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
The car thing reminded me a term I heard yesterday.
You're gonna want to know this, you know how put
a pin in It has been big for a while.
If you're in your boardroom setting or whatever, you got
to talk the lingo. We're going to park the car
on that and come back to it later. I guess
that's a thing now park in the too many metaphors,
no longer putting a pennant. We're going to park that car.
(18:55):
We'll come back to it. So if you want to,
I know, I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I don't want to be in the meeting. I didn't
want any of it.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Hey, speaking of cars, though, I wanted to get this
on and this is getting no attention. I'm glad CBS
News touched on it. But the FBI, who has currently
covered itself in glory and others, had been telling the
City of New Orleans for years. You have got to
put up the ballards, those stout columns that stop people
(19:28):
from driving vehicles up on sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Washington, DC is full of them.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
We were riding those scooters around to go everywhere last week.
But you have to weave in and out of those
things because they're in a building in at least the
touristy part of Washington, DC that doesn't have those on
every sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, But a twenty seventeen report by the City of
New Orleans identify Bourbon Street as a potential terrorism target,
citing FBI warning excuse me, and they installed some but
over an again they've been told you've got to do this,
and the local and state government really is. The city
and county that are in charge of it have been terribly,
(20:09):
terribly slow about it, have ignored the recommendations, have had
money not spent it. I haven't been that all those
people got run down. I haven't been to Bourbon Street
in years. One of the great party districts in the world.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
But I had two people after that attack say yeah,
the last time I was at Bourbon Street, I.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Thought, wow, they don't have any of those polls here.
I'm not sure I would have noticed that. It's not
the sort of thing that's on my radar.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
But two different people said that they had been there
and thought, Wow, they don't have any of those polls here.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's tony. I noticed that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Either I don't think and it's a damned shame that
anybody ever does think that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But we live in the world live well.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Going further down that conversation, as listened to a podcast
about this, and it's clearly true. And whenever you have
these conversations you get accused of giving terrorists ideas. But
I have a feeling there pretty good at it on
their own. If you're gonna start using cars as weapons, man.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
No, there's no stop in that.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You could have a coordinated drive through school parking lots,
attack in twenty different cities this afternoon if you wanted to,
and there's nothing there's no way you could ever stop.
All the things are every local parade or fair or
wedding or I mean just there are endless gathered crowds.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Is my point.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
That you could drive a car through anytime. There's no
stop in that. What stops it is, thank god, hardly
anybody is murderous.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Thank god, right, it's murderous intent.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's what changed in society, not guns, although there are
a hell of a lot of guns. But I got
this note from Todd that I enjoyed. I think you
will too.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You're absolutely right that the choice of vehicle for the
New Orleans terrorist attack was not random.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That's weird. The FBI said immediately after you attack. This
is not a terrace and intent incident. Oh on.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Anyway, the use of the vehicle is not random. It
was indeed no ordinary truck. It was a four to
f one to fifty lightning, a fully automatic electric assault
truck that delivers twice the kinetic force of an ordinary
civilian truck. It has as much mass and makes as
much power as military trucks designed for the battlefield. In
states like Texas, you can rent these trucks without any
(22:24):
kind of background check or waiting period, just like the
terrorists did. I was surprised, said witness Dan mcpee. I
was surprised that vehicle was able to get as far
as it did. That's because he's thinking of ordinary vehicles,
not military grade assault trucks. Until we have common sense
truck control, until we prioritize people's safety instead of appeasing
the powerful truck lobby. We can expect more such deadly attacks, right,
(22:48):
I think, good sir.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I get the parody there.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
It is something that these electric vehicles, like my Sedan
weighs as much as a big suv and has a
thousand horsepower. I mean, if you're gonna want to ram
a crowd from a short distance, that's a vehicle for it.
He made the right choice.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A couple other follow ups via email.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Polly went to the French laundry not long ago, and
the server came up and said, hey, there's a twenty
percent service charge already, so the tip is taken care of.
Because I had this discussion. I was at the Gordon
Ramsay restaurant in Washington, d C. It had the twenty
percent charge on there, and I asked the question, do
you tip on not I've gotten I've spent a fair
(23:31):
amount of time googling this. There is no agreement on
this whatsoever among people who work at restaurants. Don't work
at restaurants. People that are regular goers to nice restaurants. Now,
by law, if it says we've added to twenty percent gratuity,
they have to share that with the people. But if
it just says twenty percent service charge, I might just
(23:51):
go to the restaurant in some cases, and you got
a tip on top of that. Obviously, if that's going
to the restaurant and I tipped twenty percent on top
of it, you've added forty percent to my meal.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And I ain't eating here under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I don't care how big your food is, right unless
you're going to serve me a stake for eleven dollars
and go ahead and heep another forty percent on top
of that. But that is not happening right. On another topic,
the jack you were railing yesterday about Biden on a
week's notice giving the entire federal workforce Thursday off to
(24:25):
more in the passing of Jimmy Carter, who's God bless him,
been in Heavens waiting room for now several years.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I know he can't explain anything at this point, but
a younger Joe Biden explain to me why federal workers
get the day off and taxpayers go to work to
honor Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mean, what's the theory behind that?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Two notes on that. Number One Kevin from Plasterville with
a great point. Hey, big freedom is simple, Jack. You
discussed Biden's right. My issue with it isn't the cost
is we will be paying for those workers, whether they're
at work or not. No, my issues My issue is
with what this action reveals about what those workers were
doing such that a pop up holity like this even
makes sense or is even possible. Imagine your local mom
(25:07):
and pop small business learning all their workers would be
out sick one day next week.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
No way. Yeah, let be a.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Major financial hardship. Losing even one day's revenue in a
month could put them under Even for a larger business,
it would be an issue. Imagine the CEO of home
Depot announced they'll be closed next Thursday. Bet the CEO
is fired by the board before the end of the
day Friday. You see the point, and you won't be
able to make any You won't be able to see
any difference in all in what the federal government accomplishes.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Isn't that revealing? Doge can't come soon enough?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I got a Jimmy Carter nugget. I will park the
car and get back to here in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Stop saying that, and then Rich in Groton, Connecticut says,
can you let Jack know that if he wants to
take Thursday off for morning the president, and he has
my permission last time I checked, you guys aren't hourly
and you're not going to get docked if you miss
Thursday from the radio ranch.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
True.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Then he says, meanwhile, I'm going to let some members
of my crew off. But seeing how I work in
a field in which we rotate a third of the
crew to be on watch twenty four seven three sixty five,
I can only do so much. He is in a
military type profession. Then he says, and I don't this
is okay. I agree with you guys. The federal government's
too bloated. People get away with essentially doing nothing. When
you go on your rants about all the time off
(26:23):
we get. The military hears you. And for me, I'm
listening to two guys complaining about how cold or hot
it is in the studio hidden behind the veneer of
a microphone and ragging about how much time I get off.
I'll remember that next time I'm deployed over Christmas, or
I have to help my buddy because he just missed
the birth of his child overseas.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I don't think when we talk about federal employees working,
we're talking about the military.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's not what's in my mind.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, Rich, somebody sitting at a desk who's doing nothing
of any good whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, Rich, I will tell you this, my friend.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
First of all, you're right, I mean in what you're saying,
certainly saying about the military. But if you think when
we rail against government workers we're talking about active duty military,
you don't know us very well.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
That's not what anybody's talking about when they talk about.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Go No, Rich, come on, buddy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
And then I went to the trouble of looking it
up when you include state and county governments, and there
are twenty four million government workers in the United States,
twenty four million. There are one point three million active
duty military.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
When we say.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Government workers, we're not talking about freaking active duty military.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Obviously, that is a category all its own.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And I will take off my glove and slap you
on both sides of your face for daring.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
To suggest otherwise. I agree with you, But come on,
that's just hurtful, dude.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
So I'm not a hater of Jimmy Carter. I didn't
like his policies, but seemed like a nice.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Guy, incredibly misguided, and he really interfered with American foreign
policy post office. Someday I'll bore you with the details,
but it was way out of line, way way.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Way out of line.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Really a low point for our country though that period,
having I would live through it as a child, just
so much about it. So you had Nixon and Watergate,
so that was, you know, obviously rough to find out
your president could do that sort of stuff. And then
whatever was going on in the nation that Jimmy Carter
(28:33):
kind of symbolized.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It was the beginning of men being wooses.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Became very popular for like your actors, singers to be
very woosy, androgynous, feminine types. And if you're not old enough,
you don't know that this is when it really started.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And traditional masculinity was shamed, which is the other side that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Called singers actors. That sort of stuff got very feminine.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
There's so much like soft rock that was like the
limpest must There's no way you could possibly ever get
an erection listen to those songs.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I mean, it was just it just sucked the man.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Listening to.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Their own our our our cars were awful.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I mean, just horrible pieces of crap, starting like in
the late seventies, and then Jimmy Carter gave his famous
Malaise speech they call it, even though he never used
the word malaise, but the country was in a malays
and he's he sat there and talked about turning your
thermostat up and sitting in a cold house in the
in the winter, in a hot house in the summer,
and pay Laura bills. And the actual term that he
(29:36):
used was the age of limits and how we all
need to have more limits on the various things that
we do. But it was really a hey, the good
times are over, you have we all have to live
kind of sad lives from here on out speech. Actually
watched the speech the day after he died, UH to
revisit it and just how how did we get that
far off track? Just in just in kind of just
we lost our mojo as a country. Oh yeah, did
(30:00):
that happen again under Biden? Is one of my questions,
UH might have.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Was heading in that direction, I would agree, I mean,
in the wake of Vietnam and then Watergate and race
riots and assassinations and crappy economy, the Arab boil and bargo,
the gas crisis, rampant inflation. We were down and out.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We were, you.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Know, we were sleeping outside the bus station, living rough
as a country.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I had one of the museums in DC, at the Smithsonian,
they had a picture of Carter with the fifty five
mile an hour sign. Harry was smiling the age of limits.
We're only going to drive fifty five miles an hour
on interstates. And they had one of the old speedometers
from cars back then. The speedometers back then only went
up to eighty five to try and encourage you to
drive slower.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I mean, just one federal mandated woosey ah. I hate
that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, and again, Carter's leadership style, which Jack can attest
to having watched the speech, was yes, things are crappy,
they will be crappy.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
We're crappy. I'm crappy. Let's I'll be crappy.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
And then Reagan came on and he's like, no way,
we're a great country. Let's turn this bitch around. And
you know what, the bitch was turned.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Now that's the famous turn this bitch around speech that
we've all heard.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Right, we will finish strong next We're talking to Ian
Bremer tomorrow after the show. And Ian Bremer puts out
his risks lists every year and we always enjoy.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Talking about it. Was it last year or the year
before that?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
One of his risks slash predictions was the explosion of AI.
I don't know if he feels like that came true
or not, but it is going to in the future.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
It reminds me. I heard from somebody yesterday. I wish
I didn't have to be this vague. I wish I
wish I could have I wish I could play the
video they sent me or have them on the air
to describe this. It was someone with a group of
men well apparently are single, talking about how much they
like the chat GPT female relationships in completely sincere tones.
(32:05):
I mean then this person was blown away, like they
called to tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I just got out of a meaning it's.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Unbelievable, like really regular assault of the earth people too,
not talking about we're talking about I got to be
so vague, but like very very normal crowd. Uh yeah,
and uh who were super into the chat GPT. Oh
the voice is so soothing and you know they're always
(32:30):
there for me and we have conversations and and uh
and and I missed them when we're when we when
we don't talk, and I can't wait to get home
and you know, have another conversation and all that sort
of stuff. And they were just blown.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Away by the bye, by the fact that there was
there was a group.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Of them.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
In in in.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Not the kind of world I would have expected it
would latch onto.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, I think we're tracking with you.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
Yeah, yeah, wow. And whatever it is now, it's gonna
be a thousand times better by June.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Quote unquote better. Sure, yeah, more effective.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I certainly care about the future because I have kids
and someday grandkids, I think, but I hope. But if
you want to know who's going to be running the world,
not in twenty years, but in like a hundred years,
don't look at who's got bombs, look at who's making babies,
oh untos. People will run the world in terms of
the culture, well right, and just running the world. That's
(33:32):
who will be on the world.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Sure. People who have babies, yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
People who are getting with porn and chat GPT aren't
having babies.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
They are not, And that's gonna that's that's going the
wrong way. No, doubt Jack, you Clark, GISs time.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Stop.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
Jack and Joe They've got go and if they don't
give cane, they'll be bats tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap up the show for the day. There is
our technical director to lead us off, Michaelangelow.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Michael, I am the luckiest guy in the world.
Speaker 9 (34:10):
One of our cats, says now, got a habit of
as soon as I wake up, he mows lays down
unless we rub his belly purs pets. It is the
greatest way to start your day. Is very first thing
I do each morning.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Fantastic. I had no idea where that sentence was gone.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I trade there's going to be peanut burn falls. Oh
my god, I'm not a cat.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Katie Green as a final thought for us, if she
can recover, Katie.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
I'm gonna recover and just say, I'm very grateful for
all of our firefighters handling this situation ins out in California.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, I hope you guys are safe.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Jack a final thought, Yeah, I was thinking about that
whole thing with people getting into relationships with chat GPT people.
I feel like I want to try it, but I'm
almost scared to because I just to learn about it.
What if I like it? What if I try it
and like it? Think, you know what, this is a
kind of scratching me where.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I mentioned and and it's uh, you know, it ain't
gonna cost me anything.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Oh boy, speaking of babies and that sort of thing.
Most dangerous thing to be in the world is the
world's oldest person. Tamika Utuka died last Sunday at the
age of one hundred and sixteen. Japanese woman born in
May of eight, lived through twenty one American presidencies.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
She was married for fifty one years and a widow
for forty five.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Wow, who's killing the oldest people in the world off?
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Because they always got Armstrong and Getty wronging up another
grueling four hour work day.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
armstrong a gedtdy dot com, pick up some ang swag,
drop us notes there's something we ought to be talking about.
Send it along.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. The hot
links are hotter than ever.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
World keep spinning. We'll have plenty of news for you tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I'm strong and Getti the country is on edge. I mean,
if anyone think that's bonker, it's like, well, lighting up, Francis,
it's true, are you?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
And you know?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
We really need to pace ourselves if we're going to
freak out.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an
addiction to divisiveness and negativity.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Shut up, Thank you very much, appreciate it. And that
high note. The chair declares this joint Session dissolved.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Thank you, But why Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
We need greenland for national security purposes.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You look outside.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You have China ships all over the place. You have
Russian ships all over the place.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're not letting that happen.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you
take a look at what that looks like, and it
would also be much better for national security. We're spending
hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We lose in trade deficits.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to trump the Gulf of America. Mexico has
to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Yeah, Gulf of America, Which, why why didn't we do
this a long time ago? That's the only thing I
thought when he said, Yeah, obviously we should call it
the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're going to plate the Bahamas in gold, gold plated islands.
There'll be a mini People are saying they'll be the
most beautiful islands. So just to summarize, we're annexing Greenland
and Canada and renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And I'm in favor of all three.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
So I heard a Greenland politician on NPR today talking about, Yeah,
we got Chinese ships right after our shore. They're surveilling,
it's on a daily basis, and he was all for
some sort of falling under the umbrella of the United States.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's absolutely necessary.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We've talked about it a couple of times today, including
it length I think during our one. But yeah, Greenland
and the Arctic in general is going to be of
enormous I mean, you can't even comprehend how enormous strategic
significance in the next fifty years. And yeah, what is
Denmark going to defend the free trade around the world.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
No, we are, And so we've.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Got to reevaluate our relationship with Greenland in what form
that takes.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Who knows the deal with Grenmark.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Denmark is fairly recent, that's what this politician was talking
about on NPR. I didn't know about that, I think
fifty six or something like that. The hell did Denmark
end up Greenland?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, and we'd looked at buying it or something to
that effect a couple of times and it just didn't
go through. But it's not that crazy. I mean, it's
fifty six thousand people. It's an enormous mass of land
and frozen fresh water, mostly of again, an incredible strategic importance,
and it's not like we're gonna run rough shot in
there and burn it like Sherman on his way to
(02:36):
Atlanta or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The c ATV Park, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Call Lord anyway. So more on that to come, I'm
sure in the days ahead. But as usual Trump he
left it vague enough. It sounded kind of loopy, but
when you dig into the details, pretty great. Canada is
not going to become part of the United States. He's
just dicking with them. Pardon me, he's trolling them as
part of going into trade negotiations.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The Gulf of America, though, you got me a hundred.
What the hell is it?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
The Gulf of Mexico. Please, we surrounded as much as
they do. If there's oil drilling, we're doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Maybe you're not fair of that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
But if something goes wrong in the Gulf of Mexico,
if there's a natural disaster, a hurricane, an oil spell, whatever,
who cleans it up? The car tells no, the United
States government.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
As we said yesterday, when you change the name of
something like that, who do you call the map people?
Or I mean, what is the system for that?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Well? And what does that mean exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I mean I could call it Jimmy the Golf or
the Gulf of Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Or what significance does that have?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, okay, anyway, So I don't like I'm against cynicism
in general, because often it is laziness. It's the I
reject everything. I'm smarter than everyone. Everything everybody says is stupid.
I mean, that's like adolescent intellectual laziness. Yeah, I'm skeptical.
You got to be a realist.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, but that was you portrayed that as like an
overall life philosophy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Obviously that would be bad.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I'm pretty I'm pretty cynical about government. I mean, I'm
past skeptical into My assumption is you're bad in a thief.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
You're already in Greenland ahead of the hundred and first
airborne jack.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's exactly what I was going.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
To point out, and the oh my god, I gave
up the classified plans they briefed me.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I swore I wouldn't say anything. So I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So got everyone. Ranger is going to land in Greenland. Say,
and now, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
There's nobody.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh yeah, they're sailing right now. Oh no, I did
it again. Oh I'm so sorry to fight.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
There's nobody here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
One of the most telling, devastating, sickening parts of Mark
Leivivich's brilliant book This Town. We've talked about this more
than once, but when uh, he is talking to a
couple of political consultants, avvyweight political guys, like campaign director
type guys, as they're gonna do an appearance on a
(05:11):
talk show and jaw with each other, argue with each
other and call each other names and the rest of it.
And they're good buddies. They're laughing and yucking it up
in the green room. Then they're going to go off
to the cocktail parties and the private schools and the
you know, rich parts of DC Metro that they all
live in. And one of them says, and this is
the classic definition of a gaff.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
He says, accidentally says the truth out loud.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He says something the effect of somebody's not in on
the joke or they don't get the joke, and Leibovich
has to try a couple of times to get them
to admit what the joke is. And finally the guy says,
the joke is that we're patriots.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Okay, that is disturbing.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That ought to disturb you. If it doesn't, well again,
you're already there. And I congratulate you for your realism
and so on. Of my missions. So one of my
mini jihads is to help people understand that while morality
and decency and patriotism and all those things are really
important and I'm not cynical about them at.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
All, you've got to be aware that.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Evil, cynical people use moral arguments because they know you
are a moral person, and they use those to win
the day and then do evil things. And you've got
to be aware of when people are doing that. It's
like the old saying, and it's been used about Islam
around the world. When and you know, to paraphrase it,
(06:41):
when we're in the minority, we will shout about free
expression because we don't have the power. When we have
the power, because that's your principles. When we have the power,
we're gonna suppress free expression because that's our principles. You've
just got to understand that as people are hitting you
with arguments. For instance, Haakim Jeffries, very very bright guys,
(07:05):
the minority leader of the Senate of the House. Now
he took over from Nancy Pelosi, Liberal from New York.
But he was speaking on the House floor after the
election of Mike Johnson as a speaker a couple of
days ago, and he said, and I quote two months ago,
the American people elected Donald Trump as the forty seventh
(07:25):
President of the United States of America. And then they
the Republicans, clapped. He said, thank you for that very
generous applause, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Says, it's okay. There are no election deniers on our
side of the aisle. You see.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
One should love America. One should love America when you
win and when you lose. That's the patriotic thing to do.
And that's the America that House Democrats will fight hard
to preserve because we love this country.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I agree with every word he said. And it's such
an interesting to me moral dilemma, undrum, thought provoking situation.
When you've got a gun drawn on a serial killer
who's about to attack somebody, and he says, whoa murder
is wrong? He's right, but you probably ought to shoot him.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Well, I don't know where are you going with this,
with the.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Well, you've got somebody completely immoral expressing a moral argument
that you agree with in order to get ahead. And
what do you do? What do I do? Since I
agree with every word Hakim Jeffrey said, but I know
what a hypocrite he is to wit March twenty two
to twenty seventeen, and I quote these happened to be tweets.
(08:43):
With legitimacy of Trump's presidential election in doubt, his lifetime
appointment of the Supreme Court can wait. Hashtag filibuster Gorsicic
stop gorsicch Febs sixteen, twenty eighteen. The more we learn
about the twenty sixteen election, the more illegitimate it becomes.
America deserves to know whether we have a fake president
in the Oval office. Hashtag Russian interference September twenty eighth,
(09:04):
twenty eighteen lie more than any administration in the history
of the public Cheat twenty sixteen election. Russian interference steal
one or two Supreme Court seats. When will Republicans put
country ahead of party? August thirteen, twenty twenty, It's now
clear the effort to destroy the Post office is part
of a continuing conspiracy to steal the election for the
(09:25):
most corrupt administration in American history. Remember that the entire
crime family must be held accountable. And November twenty twenty,
history will never accept you as a legitimate president. Twenty fourteen.
I'm sorry, say.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Funny twist on that if I could go back in time,
he wins again.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
September of twenty one, Republicans hijacked the judiciary by stealing
two Supreme Court seats, and now they want us to
respect illegitimate decisions from these people. October of twenty two,
right wing extremists are publicly plotting to steal the next
presidential election.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And on and on.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
He is an election denier extraordinay, he's one of the
kings of it, making the moral argument to us that
how dare you You should never ever do that.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You can't be cynical enough about these people.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
No you can't, No, you can't.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And I took in a fair amount of information about
the founding and the Constitution and stuff over the break,
and I was having those thoughts. I mean, were they
just a better class of people than us. Did our
culture decay to an extent where we can't have people
(10:44):
that actually care more about the country than their party.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Politicians have always been politicians.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I mean, and the podcast I was listening to, for instance,
one example of how quickly things can turn.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, we had the Bill of Rights and.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Free speech being number one, and it was just a
couple of years later that the sitting president in Congress passed.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The law outlawing saying anything bad about the.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Country, right, it was the Alien and Sedition Acts.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
One of the worst things that's ever passed in the
country was the Founding Generation themselves.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah, so, I don't know. Maybe that's just the state
of humanity. It's the seduction of power. It's power makes
you do perverse things. I think part of the answer.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
To your question, and that was the exception, but I
still think part of the answer is they were so
close to overcoming the crisis of oppression by Britain and
fighting for freedom than the articles of the Confederation falling apart.
Anybody who was like openly power hungry and damaging the country.
(11:50):
I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Lincoln
and one of the great Supreme Court justices said, Look,
if the Constitution doesn't live in the hearts of the people,
there's no army, there's no laws, there's nothing that can
save it. And if it does live in the hearts
of the people, there's nothing that can end it. And
we're at a point now where, especially in our political class,
(12:11):
we are so rich and so comfortable, and there's so
much power and money at stake, and we're so safe
that that impulsive you dare not threaten the health of
this country is given away to the opposite. Nobody cares
about the health of the country. We're great, will always
be great.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Grab what you can, right, there's going to be a
lot of money passed through my hands or my area.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I'm gonna get mine.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like the Biden family, they got rich, got their twenty
four LLC's going laundered, the money got away. What the
hell the guy got elected to the White House?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I am too.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
If you have any thoughts on that, because I wonder
about that all the time. Is that just a different
breed of people, or has it always been this way
tax line four one KFTC.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
A nutrition study analyzed the health benefits of various ultra
processed foods and drinks, and scientists have revealed that you
lose twelve minutes of your life every time you drink
a coke. What explains why Coca cola chants are slogan
from taste the feeling to get your affairs in order?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Wow, twelve minutes per coke, So four of them and
I've lost to you an hour.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Practically, I guess I.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Have five minutes per cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
So if I wash down my cancer stick with a coke, Wow,
that's rough.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I am trying to cut back on the ultra process
anything that comes in a plastic bag I am. I'm
making a definite effort to have lessen. Hey, Katie, I
need you to do something because it's going to factor
into the end of this little conversation. Will you get
the Google definition or the Dictionary definition of neurotic for me?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Because I think that's what I am.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't know if I'm neurotic or a missingthroat more
one of the two anyway, So I was gonna mention
this this is all leading to that didn't watch the
Golden Globes the other night, but one of the biggest
winners was the movie The Brutalist, which I don't even
know if I'd ever heard of, but I won a
whole bunch of dang awards.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Do you know about the Rutless or have you seen it?
Just the headline? Okay, I had exactly the same reaction.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Escaping post war Europe, a visionary architect comes to America
to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage on
his own in a strange new country. He settles in Pennsylvania,
where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognizes his talent.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
It's all in the execution, right.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So welcome to our country. Yeah, all that sort of stuff.
So it sounds like it is really really good. Denzel
Washington ended up losing. He set some sort of record
by being nominated for a certain number of times for
his role in a Gladiator two, which I have seen
and I saw with my kids. Over the break, Henry
and I watched the first Gladiator, which I'd forgotten how
(14:42):
great it is, and it is now in my top
certainly my top five all time movies. What an amazing
movie that is. But Gladiator two not as good in
a whole bunch of different ways. Denzel Washington was fantastic.
The really great actors they like stand out against the
other pe and I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I would agree, and it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Particularly that doesn't mean I want to hear their opinion
about anything other than acting.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Although I would agree with most of what Denzel Washington
has to say.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, yeah, Well a lot of movie acting is so
weird because it's just you and the camera and it's
just you're not reacting to people just anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
But it's an art form certainly.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, But here's what happened going to the theater. Well,
what's a neurotic? Tell me what a neurotic is.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Well, you would have something called neurosis, which is a
mental condition that is not caused by organic disease, involving
symptoms of stress, depression, or anxiety, but also not a
radical loss of touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The way I always heard it described in psych class
was that if you're a psychotic, you do not perceive
reality as it is. If you're neurotic, you perceive it correctly,
but you come to the wrong conclusions.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
And I don't think that's what I am I'm a missanthrope.
I hate all humanity. Maybe that's it. But anyway, so
for this movie theater, you had to, like I have
book your seats.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Ahead of time or whatever.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Okay, fine, we get to the movie theater and there's
nobody there. It's literally empty. We go in, we sit down.
Shortly before the movie starts. You know where I'm going here,
three people come in in an empty movie theater and
walk in and sit.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Right in front of us.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Oh my lord.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
So I wanted to ask the guy if we could
go outside, not to fight him, but to interview him,
because I want to know more about his life. I
want to know, what do you do for a living?
Are you married, do you pay taxes? What other views
do you have that makes you so freaking insane that
in an empty movie theater you would sit right in
(16:43):
front of the only people in there.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Right, Yeah, I'm the same. First, I would be just
insane with annoyance. Then I would think I want to
know more.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Right, just what the hell goes on in your mind
that you did that?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And it makes me crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I mean, it makes me more crazy that he exists
and wondering about him than the fact he was sitting
right in front of me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I'll send spitballs in the back of the neck Cake
Cure and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
The technology is head turning, allowing your car to come
to you from anywhere in the parking lot through Tesla's
phone app and the touch of a button.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
No driver inside. But the National Highway Traffic.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Safety Administration is raising concerns about the actually smart sum
in feature in an estimated two and a half million Teslas,
saying it is launching a probe over reported problems of
failing to detect posts or parked vehicles resulting in a
crash and the operator not having enough time to react.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Well, that would suck if I press the button for
my Tesla to come to me and it backs into somebody.
Now that has changed my afternoon. First of all, they're
what do you say, two million Teslas in the whole country.
That's a tiny number at that being the most popular
electric car out there. The new software update on the
self driving really good, smoother than it's ever been. But
(18:10):
somehow I got it on an old lady setting. Today
it's coming to work. It's like, how slow were we
gonna go?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
How much?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
How many car links do we need? To leave here
the old lady I got to change it. Or it
was a student driver with the teacher with them, that's
what it was driving.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like currently taking driving tech.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I need to set up for aggressive man on the
way to work, That's what it needs to be said up.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Well, it's a grudge against humidity exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
The car thing reminded me a term I heard yesterday.
You're gonna want to know this, you know how put
a pin in It has been big for a while.
If you're in your boardroom setting or whatever, you got
to talk the lingo. We're going to park the car
on that and come back to it later. I guess
that's a thing now park in the too many metaphors,
no longer putting a pennant. We're going to park that car.
(18:55):
We'll come back to it. So if you want to,
I know, I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I don't want to be in the meeting. I didn't
want any of it.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Hey, speaking of cars, though, I wanted to get this
on and this is getting no attention. I'm glad CBS
News touched on it. But the FBI, who has currently
covered itself in glory and others, had been telling the
City of New Orleans for years. You have got to
put up the ballards, those stout columns that stop people
(19:28):
from driving vehicles up on sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Washington, DC is full of them.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
We were riding those scooters around to go everywhere last week.
But you have to weave in and out of those
things because they're in a building in at least the
touristy part of Washington, DC that doesn't have those on
every sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Right, But a twenty seventeen report by the City of
New Orleans identify Bourbon Street as a potential terrorism target,
citing FBI warning excuse me, and they installed some but
over an again they've been told you've got to do this,
and the local and state government really is. The city
and county that are in charge of it have been terribly,
(20:09):
terribly slow about it, have ignored the recommendations, have had
money not spent it. I haven't been that all those
people got run down. I haven't been to Bourbon Street
in years. One of the great party districts in the world.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
But I had two people after that attack say yeah,
the last time I was at Bourbon Street, I.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Thought, wow, they don't have any of those polls here.
I'm not sure I would have noticed that. It's not
the sort of thing that's on my radar.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
But two different people said that they had been there
and thought, Wow, they don't have any of those polls here.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That's tony. I noticed that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Either I don't think and it's a damned shame that
anybody ever does think that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
But we live in the world live well.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Going further down that conversation, as listened to a podcast
about this, and it's clearly true. And whenever you have
these conversations you get accused of giving terrorists ideas. But
I have a feeling there pretty good at it on
their own. If you're gonna start using cars as weapons, man.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
No, there's no stop in that.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
You could have a coordinated drive through school parking lots,
attack in twenty different cities this afternoon if you wanted to,
and there's nothing there's no way you could ever stop.
All the things are every local parade or fair or
wedding or I mean just there are endless gathered crowds.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Is my point.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
That you could drive a car through anytime. There's no
stop in that. What stops it is, thank god, hardly
anybody is murderous.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Thank god, right, it's murderous intent.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's what changed in society, not guns, although there are
a hell of a lot of guns. But I got
this note from Todd that I enjoyed. I think you
will too.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You're absolutely right that the choice of vehicle for the
New Orleans terrorist attack was not random.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
That's weird. The FBI said immediately after you attack. This
is not a terrace and intent incident. Oh on.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Anyway, the use of the vehicle is not random. It
was indeed no ordinary truck. It was a four to
f one to fifty lightning, a fully automatic electric assault
truck that delivers twice the kinetic force of an ordinary
civilian truck. It has as much mass and makes as
much power as military trucks designed for the battlefield. In
states like Texas, you can rent these trucks without any
(22:24):
kind of background check or waiting period, just like the
terrorists did. I was surprised, said witness Dan mcpee. I
was surprised that vehicle was able to get as far
as it did. That's because he's thinking of ordinary vehicles,
not military grade assault trucks. Until we have common sense
truck control, until we prioritize people's safety instead of appeasing
the powerful truck lobby. We can expect more such deadly attacks, right,
(22:48):
I think, good sir.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I get the parody there.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
It is something that these electric vehicles, like my Sedan
weighs as much as a big suv and has a
thousand horsepower. I mean, if you're gonna want to ram
a crowd from a short distance, that's a vehicle for it.
He made the right choice.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A couple other follow ups via email.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Polly went to the French laundry not long ago, and
the server came up and said, hey, there's a twenty
percent service charge already, so the tip is taken care of.
Because I had this discussion. I was at the Gordon
Ramsay restaurant in Washington, d C. It had the twenty
percent charge on there, and I asked the question, do
you tip on not I've gotten I've spent a fair
(23:31):
amount of time googling this. There is no agreement on
this whatsoever among people who work at restaurants. Don't work
at restaurants. People that are regular goers to nice restaurants. Now,
by law, if it says we've added to twenty percent gratuity,
they have to share that with the people. But if
it just says twenty percent service charge, I might just
(23:51):
go to the restaurant in some cases, and you got
a tip on top of that. Obviously, if that's going
to the restaurant and I tipped twenty percent on top
of it, you've added forty percent to my meal.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And I ain't eating here under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I don't care how big your food is, right unless
you're going to serve me a stake for eleven dollars
and go ahead and heep another forty percent on top
of that. But that is not happening right. On another topic,
the jack you were railing yesterday about Biden on a
week's notice giving the entire federal workforce Thursday off to
(24:25):
more in the passing of Jimmy Carter, who's God bless him,
been in Heavens waiting room for now several years.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I know he can't explain anything at this point, but
a younger Joe Biden explain to me why federal workers
get the day off and taxpayers go to work to
honor Jimmy Carter.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I mean, what's the theory behind that?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Two notes on that. Number One Kevin from Plasterville with
a great point. Hey, big freedom is simple, Jack. You
discussed Biden's right. My issue with it isn't the cost
is we will be paying for those workers, whether they're
at work or not. No, my issues My issue is
with what this action reveals about what those workers were
doing such that a pop up holity like this even
makes sense or is even possible. Imagine your local mom
(25:07):
and pop small business learning all their workers would be
out sick one day next week.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
No way. Yeah, let be a.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Major financial hardship. Losing even one day's revenue in a
month could put them under Even for a larger business,
it would be an issue. Imagine the CEO of home
Depot announced they'll be closed next Thursday. Bet the CEO
is fired by the board before the end of the
day Friday. You see the point, and you won't be
able to make any You won't be able to see
any difference in all in what the federal government accomplishes.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Isn't that revealing? Doge can't come soon enough?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I got a Jimmy Carter nugget. I will park the
car and get back to here in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Stop saying that, and then Rich in Groton, Connecticut says,
can you let Jack know that if he wants to
take Thursday off for morning the president, and he has
my permission last time I checked, you guys aren't hourly
and you're not going to get docked if you miss
Thursday from the radio ranch.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
True.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Then he says, meanwhile, I'm going to let some members
of my crew off. But seeing how I work in
a field in which we rotate a third of the
crew to be on watch twenty four seven three sixty five,
I can only do so much. He is in a
military type profession. Then he says, and I don't this
is okay. I agree with you guys. The federal government's
too bloated. People get away with essentially doing nothing. When
you go on your rants about all the time off
(26:23):
we get. The military hears you. And for me, I'm
listening to two guys complaining about how cold or hot
it is in the studio hidden behind the veneer of
a microphone and ragging about how much time I get off.
I'll remember that next time I'm deployed over Christmas, or
I have to help my buddy because he just missed
the birth of his child overseas.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I don't think when we talk about federal employees working,
we're talking about the military.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's not what's in my mind.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah, Rich, somebody sitting at a desk who's doing nothing
of any good whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, Rich, I will tell you this, my friend.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
First of all, you're right, I mean in what you're saying,
certainly saying about the military. But if you think when
we rail against government workers we're talking about active duty military,
you don't know us very well.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
That's not what anybody's talking about when they talk about.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Go No, Rich, come on, buddy.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
And then I went to the trouble of looking it
up when you include state and county governments, and there
are twenty four million government workers in the United States,
twenty four million. There are one point three million active
duty military.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
When we say.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Government workers, we're not talking about freaking active duty military.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Obviously, that is a category all its own.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And I will take off my glove and slap you
on both sides of your face for daring.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
To suggest otherwise. I agree with you, But come on,
that's just hurtful, dude.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
So I'm not a hater of Jimmy Carter. I didn't
like his policies, but seemed like a nice.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Guy, incredibly misguided, and he really interfered with American foreign
policy post office. Someday I'll bore you with the details,
but it was way out of line, way way.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Way out of line.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Really a low point for our country though that period,
having I would live through it as a child, just
so much about it. So you had Nixon and Watergate,
so that was, you know, obviously rough to find out
your president could do that sort of stuff. And then
whatever was going on in the nation that Jimmy Carter
(28:33):
kind of symbolized.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It was the beginning of men being wooses.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Became very popular for like your actors, singers to be
very woosy, androgynous, feminine types. And if you're not old enough,
you don't know that this is when it really started.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And traditional masculinity was shamed, which is the other side that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Called singers actors. That sort of stuff got very feminine.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
There's so much like soft rock that was like the
limpest must There's no way you could possibly ever get
an erection listen to those songs.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I mean, it was just it just sucked the man.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Listening to.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Their own our our our cars were awful.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
I mean, just horrible pieces of crap, starting like in
the late seventies, and then Jimmy Carter gave his famous
Malaise speech they call it, even though he never used
the word malaise, but the country was in a malays
and he's he sat there and talked about turning your
thermostat up and sitting in a cold house in the
in the winter, in a hot house in the summer,
and pay Laura bills. And the actual term that he
(29:36):
used was the age of limits and how we all
need to have more limits on the various things that
we do. But it was really a hey, the good
times are over, you have we all have to live
kind of sad lives from here on out speech. Actually
watched the speech the day after he died, UH to
revisit it and just how how did we get that
far off track? Just in just in kind of just
we lost our mojo as a country. Oh yeah, did
(30:00):
that happen again under Biden? Is one of my questions,
UH might have.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Was heading in that direction, I would agree, I mean,
in the wake of Vietnam and then Watergate and race
riots and assassinations and crappy economy, the Arab boil and bargo,
the gas crisis, rampant inflation. We were down and out.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We were, you.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Know, we were sleeping outside the bus station, living rough
as a country.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I had one of the museums in DC, at the Smithsonian,
they had a picture of Carter with the fifty five
mile an hour sign. Harry was smiling the age of limits.
We're only going to drive fifty five miles an hour
on interstates. And they had one of the old speedometers
from cars back then. The speedometers back then only went
up to eighty five to try and encourage you to
drive slower.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I mean, just one federal mandated woosey ah. I hate
that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, and again, Carter's leadership style, which Jack can attest
to having watched the speech, was yes, things are crappy,
they will be crappy.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
We're crappy. I'm crappy. Let's I'll be crappy.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
And then Reagan came on and he's like, no way,
we're a great country. Let's turn this bitch around. And
you know what, the bitch was turned.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Now that's the famous turn this bitch around speech that
we've all heard.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Right, we will finish strong next We're talking to Ian
Bremer tomorrow after the show. And Ian Bremer puts out
his risks lists every year and we always enjoy.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Talking about it. Was it last year or the year
before that?
Speaker 5 (31:28):
One of his risks slash predictions was the explosion of AI.
I don't know if he feels like that came true
or not, but it is going to in the future.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
It reminds me. I heard from somebody yesterday. I wish
I didn't have to be this vague. I wish I
wish I could have I wish I could play the
video they sent me or have them on the air
to describe this. It was someone with a group of
men well apparently are single, talking about how much they
like the chat GPT female relationships in completely sincere tones.
(32:05):
I mean then this person was blown away, like they
called to tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I just got out of a meaning it's.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Unbelievable, like really regular assault of the earth people too,
not talking about we're talking about I got to be
so vague, but like very very normal crowd. Uh yeah,
and uh who were super into the chat GPT. Oh
the voice is so soothing and you know they're always
(32:30):
there for me and we have conversations and and uh
and and I missed them when we're when we when
we don't talk, and I can't wait to get home
and you know, have another conversation and all that sort
of stuff. And they were just blown.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Away by the bye, by the fact that there was
there was a group.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Of them.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
In in in.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Not the kind of world I would have expected it
would latch onto.
