Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Fifty six year old lifelong bachelor Cory Booker finally engaged. Interesting, Yeah,
which means were she did to leave is no longer
the only one with a beard?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Two jokes price a one.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Wow, Oh it was who it wasn't it was ilhan Omar.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I've been meaning to bring this up.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Her latest financial disclosures say she's worth as much as
thirty million dollars all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, as happens with lots of people in government. Yeah.
Speaking of government, Elizabeth Warren is on I'm the war Path. Hey,
how are you? Hey? How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
She is currently grilling RFK Junior. I don't know what
they're saying, but she's shaking her head and smiling in disbelief,
and he's waving his hands around and shouting.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So we'll bring that to you when we get it.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm surprised that she's attacking him, as he does have
red skin.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I earlier on the show committed to I'm going to
go to the super Bowl this time. I've never been
to a super Bowl. I would like to have us.
I'd like to have the experience to be able to
talk about on the air. And Super Bowl's always the
same as my age, so it's always been easy to remember.
It's super Bowl sixty. I'm sixty years old. But it's local,
so it's like seventy miles from my house, so I
wouldn't need a hotel or airfare.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So I was just asking.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Someone I know who has been to many Super Bowls
supporting their favorite team. Since I don't need airfare or
a hotel, what is it going to cost me a
couple thousand dollars to get ticket? And this person said,
last time I went, cheapest ticket I could find for
one person was ten grand.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh what oh that can't be can it? Well?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I don't know what they could find or how hard they.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Looked, but they have connections, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It could be that the real football fans snap up
the cheap seats because that's the best they can do,
and it's all corporate geeks who have the high dollar
ones who like free up their tickets.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
There's got to be a way anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
How about the vendor uniform walking backward if they don't
notice you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I get.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I buy one of the hot dog things. I get, right,
I do a little research. You can find out what
the uniforms look like.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
I get.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I buy one on Etsy or have one made.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And you act like you just walked out of the
exit and say, oh my god, I forgot my hot dogs.
You gotta let me back. I forgot my tongs. Right,
I can't just hand them a hot dog with my
bare hand.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's disgusting. Anyway, I gotta get back in there. I'm
sure that would work.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
And then, of course I don't have a seat, so
I have to walk around the entire Super Bowl with
my hot dog outfit pretending I have hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Everybody's yelling me, hey, I'm starving. What the hell? I
don't have any act. Actually I actually did that once.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's a line from a Who song, people walk in
sideways pretending that they're leaving. I actually did that at
the intermission of concert once and got in really Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Interesting, Okay, I'll keep that in mind for this great show.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
So it was Stevie Ray Vaughan in like nineteen eighty four,
So eighty four. Yeah, the war in Ukraine is still now.
Now Bernie is waving his hearts around and all worked
up saying something like that. But we'll get to that later.
The war between Russian and Ukraine continues.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Remember all that excitement from a couple of weeks ago
and Putin and Trump met and all that, nothing came
of it. So the European leaders are meeting today to
talk about what they can do in terms of security
guarantees to try to bring this thing to an end.
And they're asking Trump basically, you know, what can we
count on from the United States. The Trump administration is
(04:16):
offering airpower and intelligence, although you know it's a very
vague term, so the devil would be in the details
on that too. Trump today, just a little bit ago,
said he's really pushing Europe to stop buying Russian oil
once and for all, quit buy an oil from Russia,
(04:36):
and to punish China for their backing of Russia throughout
this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I thought this was interesting reporting from Mark Alpern, who
has a lot of sources in all levels of government. Today,
he said the time is almost up on Trump's deadline
of fifty days or whatever, you know, for the for
the hardcore sanctions. The conversation, the binary conversation that's being
had in his administration, according to Mark Appin's reporting, is
(05:06):
Trump's either going to go all in on helping Kiev
and Europe win the war, or he's going to walk
away those two choices. Gotta go all in with Europe
to help Ukraine win, or not our deal, not our circus,
not our monkeys. Yeah, huh, I'd say, huh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
And I'm not even sure what to make of that
because there's gray area.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm sure it's not all in. All in.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Because we went all in, we would, you know, launching
a nuclear strike on Moscow.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But well, then all out is a bit fuzzy too
from me. I mean, if like Britain says, hey, we
want to buy a bunch of these missiles, he's said, no,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
No, I'm sure we would never stop selling stuff to people.
But if we pulled our intelligence that were I mean,
that's very.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Valuable, don't do that. That would be a big move.
I'm personally am voting for closer to all in than
all out.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I'll tell you that because I think it's important to
the message sends the rest of the world.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
But I know a lot of your and a warmonger
or a chicken hawk. I'm just I'm trying to say
people the trouble of writing. They're angry text and or email. Yeah, oh,
speaking of global issues. I thought this was interesting, new
first of its kind of city.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
This I gotta get a jump brand bots. So I'm
just reading the what CNN's got up there. Man Bernie
is waving his arms around like he's out of his mind,
and RFK Junior is fighting back also, So I don't
know what they're talking about.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Carl Marx has been, has been, riadam, I didn't come
to life.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
But apparently Kennedy said at some point, and he's right,
nobody has any idea how many people died of COVID,
and Elizabeth Warren said, how could you possibly be so ignorant?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, we don't know. We know that we.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Don't know because that was well documented toward the end
of all this, that they would count it as a
COVID death if you died of a heart attack but
also had COVID.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yes, if you got.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Hit we're all killed yourself because your wife left you, right,
or if you got hit by a car and you
had to happen to have COVID when you forgot to
look left when you stepped into the.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Crosswalk, because there were huge financial incentives for hospitals to
deal with COVID patients.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Right huh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Anyway, anyway, Elizabeth Warren, what a crank she is?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Please she speaks with We all know it. That's that's
true enough.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Speaking of which, as I began to say, a new
first of its kind of study by Dutch researchers finds
no evidence of a global acceleration in sea level.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Rise because of climate change. This is a peer reviewed study.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
The A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Change Changes
is published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering.
It's the first study to be based on local data
taken from coastal sites around the world, rather than on
models based on extrapolations. The study conduct an analysis of
more than two hundred tide gage stations worldwide, and it
(08:04):
cuts against the long standing belief among climate scientists and
activists that the climate change is leading to rapidly accelerating
sea level rises. The research, conducted by a Dutch couple
of guys you've never heard of, found that the average
rate of sea level rise in twenty twenty is only
around one point five millimeters per year, worth fifteen centimeters
(08:24):
per century.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That ain't a lot. I spent all that money to
put my house on stilts for nothing.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wow, I know where your house is. That was cautious. Well,
yes house, listening to al Gore.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, So climate scientists and scientific literature and media have
been saying three to four millimeters per year, So this is.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Has per year. Well that's the harem scarem. I can't
even imagine how you measure that. That's so tiny. Yeah,
and so what they're saying is the.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Actual rise is either a half of that or less
than a third I'm sorry, around a third, depending on
which one millimeter a year.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
How could you possibly measure that?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The one scientist said he could not believe that no
research who had come before him had performed an analysis
of real world local data. The scientists name is Vortmann.
He says, quote, it's crazy that it had not been done.
I started doing this research in twenty twenty one by
doing the literature review. Who has done their comparisons of
the projections with the observations, and there were none to
study wow.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So it's all.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Been models that, as we all know, could be way wrong,
and they use those projections.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
And interestingly enough, this was done with external funding. This
was a hydraulic engineer who's involved in flood protection and
coastal infrastructure adaptation projects all over the world. And he said,
I just need to know the facts, and I couldn't
find anybody looking at actual data.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I mean, like, if you're trying to predict how fat
you're going to be without ever weighing yourself, right, you're
just guessing based on it. You can continue to eat pie.
At the rate you eat pie, you could be nine
thousand pounds by next year.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And this Wortmann guy said, well, how much did you gain, like,
you know, twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, And
the answer came back, nobody's actually like wighed Jack and
he's and his response is a very polite are you
ef thing kidding me? So for the vast majority of stations,
he says, the differences between the two curves were not significant.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That gets deep into the methodology anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
His takeaway is that no, the sea level are rising,
but at a fraction of what they're said to be rising,
and there are only a very small percentage that showed
notable increases or decreases in sea level. The rest were
practically the same. Anyway, is this going to be completely
(11:06):
debunked in our lifetimes to where it just like it
becomes a story for the history books. Yeah, it'll be
referenced in the same way that we reference the coming
ice age Harem scarem talk of the nineteen seventies. Yeah,
I think so, sincerely. And I don't have a seal
(11:28):
on this ice flow. I hate to say I don't
have a dog in the fight, because I find dogfighting abhorrent,
but yeah, I don't have a herring in this seal
feeding frenzy. But no, I think we're going to realize. Yeah,
the climate is changing. The climate is always changing. Human
activity has had some effect on it. But one of
(11:49):
the effects has been global cooling, which I think I
talked about a few weeks ago, because some of the
particular matter in the air blocks sunlight and so it's
actually cooled the globe. And it's actually more complicated than that.
That's not a good thing necessarily if it's true. But
what you need to always always remember is that a crisis,
(12:09):
whether real or imagined, is the reason given to move
enormous amounts of money around. Yeah, from taxpayers to the
recipients of taxpayer money. It can be global warming, It
can be the police need to be defunded because of
(12:29):
an alleged penchant for killing black men. It can be
a werewolf epidemic. It doesn't matter. It's just important to
have a crisis to justify the moving of enormous amounts
of money.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Right, And it's just human nature.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I mean so, even if you believe the first study,
when another study comes along that would take away your
livelihood and the billions of dollars you want to spend
on various things, how likely are you to pay attention
to that as opposed to in the desk drawer and
worry about it later.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Why did the Biden administration in their last moments in
office doll out billions of dollars to the likes of
Stacy Abrams and people like that? Because every single GD
person involved in the whole Green thing votes Democrat all
the time, so you keep them financed. It's entirely a
measure to retain power. I have nothing to do with
(13:24):
the level of the ocean in the.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Netherlands and everyone knows it, and everyone knows their.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Bad built butch body, you're right, I don't know if
any of this RFK Junior stuff is actually good.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
If it is, we'll play it for you. To stay here.
He's running.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Lets tells you quite male covered in mud and underwear.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh, man, you had a chance, you had a choice.
I was scared, Joe okare was that?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I was?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Headline?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Man covered in mud wearing only a speedo runs from
Idaho Springs police.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Why don't they have this guy's first note? What had
the miscreant done?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
They're trying to serve warrant credit card fraud and stolen identification.
But they found him in the Hot Springs mud bath
and confronted him about his alleged credit card fraud. Oh
his name is Alec Bogus. That is so totally bogus.
What you have dead with my credit cards? Alec Bogus.
(14:40):
Bogus denied the claims before the officers mentioned the warrant
from a different county told him he'd be going to jail. Well,
not putting up with that, he leapt from the mud
in his speedo and took to the hills.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Excellent plan because people always get away and then they
never hear from the police again, and they just go
on to live perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Lines happens all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Right the copsu have your name and address and your
charges and a warrant and the rest of it, they'll
just get bored and move on.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Okay, Han, totally bogus.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Which of these clips is the very best clip of
RFK Junior being grilled by someone?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Which is your favorite.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Executive producer, Mike Canson whispering into our ears.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
So he's not whispering to my ear because he doesn't
know what the best one is.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
He doesn't, who does. I don't want that one. Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I hate to have Elizabeth Warren's voice on the air
at all if I can avoid it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Let's go with thirty six to just again some basic fact.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Do you do you accept the fact that a million
Americans died from COVID?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I don't know how many died.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Here's a Secretary of Health and Human Services. You don't
have any idea how many Americans died from COVID.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't think anybody knows because there was so much
data chaos coming out of the CDC, and.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They would all take you and these are models.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
You know, I know the answer of how many Americas
from COVID? This is the site here of Health and
Human Services. Do you think the vaccine did anything to
prevent additional tests?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Again, I would like to see the data and talk
about the data.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And you had had this job for eight months and.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You don't know the data about whether the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Face And the problem is that they didn't have the data.
The data by the Biden administration absolutely dismal.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So I think the gist of that.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
So but on that one, I think there's going to
be some questions that I agree with the questionnaires about,
like Cacassidy. The Republican was beating him up pretty good
on some things he's done. That is in effect denying
people the opportunity to even get vaccines if you want
to get them. But we don't know how many people
die to COVID because of the way they were counting.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We don't know the data.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
The data was chaos is a RF case And he's
right about that. Yeah, And since you don't have any
idea people died, bull crap.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I know all of these hearings. Has you had this
job right? Monson? You still don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I just told you no because the data is ridiculous.
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I committed in the show today on day one of
the NFL season to go to the super Bowl this year,
as I've never been. Then I was talked out of
it in the subsequent hours, so I will not do that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I was talked out of it. Why how in two
hours time?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
A fellow broadcaster has been a handful of times said
they have been and have nothing to add to talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The super Bowl having been multiple times.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Oh, which is the only reason I would go, because
I just always assumed there'd be all kinds of stuff
that I would experience it be fun to talk about.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But they said that is not.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
True because it is so overwhelmingly a made for TV event.
You know, for a regular season Baseball, NBA, you got
to be able to get fans in there. You gotta
have the fan experiences gotta be good enough to make
the whole thing work.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The super Bowl doesn't, right.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
They have fans there for all kinds of corporate reasons,
and you know, it'd be weird if the crowd was
if it was an empty stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But don't need them. It's a multi.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Billion dollar four TV event and nothing to gain by
being a fan, according.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
To them, Yeah, maybe we can pursue this off the air.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I have faith in your ability to observe and tell tales.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, and make it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Clear how not fan oriented it is if you're there,
which I would find interest.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
If I could go for free, that would be worthwhile,
But ten thousand dollars probably not, since I could fly
to Hawaii, spend a week in a nice hotel, watch
it on TV, and fly back for the same amount
of money.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, you got a point there. So speaking of money,
look the whole no tax on tips thing in the
Big Beautiful Bill, which is now the Middle Class Tax
Cut Bill for the middle Class Opportunity Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They changed the name of it. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, they're yeah, trying to like change the name of
it in the popular consciousness or the purposes of winning
the midterms. And because you know, Republicans in general are
up against not only the Democratic Party but the entirety
of the media practically, and so people, for instance, get
the idea that the bill actually raise taxes on the
(19:26):
middle class to cut it for billionaires, or the billionaires
get the biggest benefit of which even The New York
Times is debunked, but that's what a lot of people think.
So yeah, they're trying to respind it by renaming it.
But anyway, the whole no tax on tips thing is
ridiculous and always has been. It was just an effort
to win Nevada, which is fine. You have to win
to hold office. Although you know, I do have a
(19:48):
little bit of sympathy for the idea that a tip
is a gift, it's not a wage. But anyway, the
list of who gets to deduct it and who doesn't
is a bit unintentionally funny because it's not all taxed
or tipped employees. But the list of who does get
(20:09):
to deduct it up to twenty five thousand dollars is interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Well, there's going to be a lot of effort to
to restructure your the way you're paid at your job
so that some of it could be called a tip.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Maybe we can do that. Maybe if we could get a.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Big chunk of our salary, you'd be called a tip,
then we don't pay taxes on it.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Well, so we were talking earlier about how NFL teams
play pay the minimum salary to the superstars, but to
then give them ginormous signing bonuses because you can amortize
that over many, many years to keep under the salary camp. Anyway, Yes,
we should be tipped and generously. I think we had
good service guessing game. Just for chuckles, what percentage of
(20:55):
Americans work in tipped jobs tipped industry. I'm going to
go ten percent two point five. Wow, I would have
missed that completely, and I.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Thought I was going low. So it's very low. Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah. I wasn't trying to hang you out to try
or anything. I just I was surprised by that number.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's about four million Americans, that's all. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Initially it was unclear what jobs the tax deductions would
apply to. Now the Treasury Department is settled on an
expensive but fare list and released it this week. Policy
in effect through twenty twenty eight on tips up to
twenty five thousand dollars as the maximum induction. The sixty
eight jobs that qualify were separated into eight categories by
(21:38):
the Treasury Department.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
What's what?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
They hand you the thing with your credit cards sticking
out at the top, and your choices are like, it's
not twenty Usually the choices are eighteen twenty two and
fifteen or something like that. What is that trick they're
hoping that you'll round up? You think, well, I'm not
the kind of person that's going to stip them at eighteen.
(22:00):
I guess I'll go twenty two unless you wanted to
cost them and then you press costume and you got
to go to another screen and you got to type
in the numbers, and you just don't want to do it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I believe you have answered your own question quite accurately. Okay,
it's exactly. Virtually every single thing we ate in Europe
was like that. They show up with a little machine
bingay bangaddy bogaty. You've paid your gone, there's no they
bring you the check. You quick go for your credit card,
but they've walked away already, and they finally come back
and get your credit card.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Fifteen minutes later, You're like, where do you have? Are they?
I want to get out of here? No, none of that,
None of that. It was great.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I was gonna give you a three quid, but I'm
only going to give you two guinea.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now, let's stick that in your hogshead and didn't smoke
it or something. Sixty eight jobs to qualify eight categories
beverages and food service, which is exactly what you'd think.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The list is kind of funny, but do we have
time for this? Not really?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Entertainment and events, including gambling dealers, gambling change persons and
booth cashiers, gambling cage workers, gambling in sports, book writers
and runners.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I don't gamble, so you're supposed you're supposed to tip
the person dealing the cards.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
When you play blackjack or something.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
If you win, generally you lay a little love on them,
which I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
When you lose, they don't lay any damn love on me.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Uh, And the cage workers like you swap out.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Dancers, so tip those dancers exotic or otherwise.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Musicians and they're counting strippers, so part of that is
two percent of people who get tips or strippers, right,
Musicians and singers, disc jockeys except radio.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Wait a minute, ye, that is unfair to its core ridge.
I told you what the traffic is, and I don't
get a tip. I put traffic in weather together on
the eights.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No tips for you.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Entertainers and performers, digital content creators, ushers, lobby attendants, and
tick takers, locker room, coat room, and the dressing room attendance.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
With some of these, nobody was paying taxes on anyway.
I mean the musicians.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
If you're a fool.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
If you're a musician who gets a tip, that means
your person standing on the corner with a hat in
front of you, singing a song at a busy third,
you know part of town.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You're paying taxes on that. Come on now.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
In fact, I often, like when I'm getting my hairs
cut or whatever, I will hand the person the tip
and say, as opposed to putting it on the credit card,
I'll say it, let's keep the government out of the
tipping process.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Good for you. I should do that. Yeah, yeah, that'd
make me a better person, clared or not.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Anyway, hospital I'm sorry, Hospitality and guest services, baggage porters
and bell hops, concierges, hotel motel and resort desk clerks, hote.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Are you paying tips on it?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
So I give you two bucks for putting my bag
on the cart, You're gonna well, I better write that down.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Make sure the government gets a cut.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
What it's eleven cents in taxes and I got them
to pay it. Maids and housekeeping cleaners. Then in home services,
here are the people you can tip and they can
deduct it. Home maintenance and repair workers, home landscaping and
groundskeeping workers, home electricians, home plumbers, heating and air conditioning
mechanics and installers. I have never tipped somebody who fixed
(25:18):
my air conditioner.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
You tap your landscaper. I've never paid for a landscaper.
I've lived places that had them, but you tip them.
I thought we just worked out a deal. Yeah, yeah,
you pay them.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Home appliance installers and repairers, home cleaning service workers, locksmith's,
roadside assistance.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Workers, locksmith's boy.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I'll tell you what, every time I need a locksmith
once in your life.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
You got personal services that include both pet caretakers and
tutors along other things.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You tip your tutor. I haven't. I haven't caught a
few tutors, but I just we worked out a wage. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Personal appearance and wellness everything from massada therapists and shampoos
to tattoo artists, recreation instruction.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
The number we don't know is what percentage of people
were claiming this money on their taxes anyway, And it's
got to be incredibly low.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Zero percent is how many recreation and instruction golf caddies,
self enrichment teachers, recreational and tour pilots, to guides and escorts.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
What the hell's a self enrichment teacher. I haven't tipped
him or her in a very long time.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know. Maybe if you're more enriched, you know
who to tip. Jack Ass a nice job today, I
am walking out of here enriched af.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Oh sports and recreation instructors. And finally, transportation and delivery,
which includes parking and valet attendance, taxi and rise here,
rides here drivers and show first shuttle drivers, good delivery people,
personal vehicle and equipment cleaners, private carter charter bus drivers,
water taxi operators and charter boat workers. Rickshaw, peedicab and
(27:02):
carriage drivers. Thank god, oh movers.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
The rickshaw peddlers will no longer have to pay taxes
on their tips.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
The suffocating oppression of taxation will no longer crush the
humble American rickshaw operator.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
The yoke of taxation no longer ways on the shoulder
of the man peddling your rickshaw down the street.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Free of the rickshaw.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Okay, we might if there's a good clip play RFK
Junior getting yelled at because that's going on right now,
or among other things that will finish strong with next.
I can't imagine how tiring it would be to ever
be grilled by Congress at one of those hearings, because
(27:51):
it's just it's just it's it's a gotcha fest. It's
just an attempt to get you to lose your temper
or put you in a position where you can and said,
the question look bad, so dumb. Oh, and it's completely pointless.
I mean, you can cut your weight through it.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
If something was being accomplished, you could screer courage to
this taking place. But excuse me, you're just there to
generate jazzy you know video for people to watch twenty
seconds of, get misinformed and go about their evening.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
That is an excellent encapsulation of what happens. Yes, Elizabeth
Warren questioning RFK Junior kids, tell the.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Head of the CDC that if she refused to sign
off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, that
she had to resign.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh. I told her that she had to resign because
I asked her, are you a trustworthy person?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And she said no.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
If you had an employee who told you they weren't trustworthy,
would you ask them to resigneditor.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So I'm sorry, but this is not what she has
said publicly.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
She has said I'm not surprised about that. So you're
saying she's lying.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yes, every conversation I had with her there, Yes, just straight.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
This is the same person that less than a month
earlier you stood next to her and described her as unimpeachable,
and you had full confidence in her, and that you
had full confidence in her scientific credentials. And in a
month she became a liar.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, we should ask her what change?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And by the way, a month ago you were voting
against her because you thought she was either incompetent, in allegible,
or on suited to the task.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Maybe I was afraid she was going to bend the
need of you and Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
That is hilarious. Sow RFK Junior for the wind. That
is hilarious. You voted against her. Now you're horrified that
I fired her.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Come on, man, that was We need more of that
than these hearings. What are you joking you? Let's talk
about you for a Yeah, let me.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Hit the ball across the net back to your side
of the court for a moment.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm not a giant RFK junior fan, but that was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, no kidding. What an interesting character he is. What
do you spend it a dozen years as a heroin
addict or something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, he was on the smack for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
And then my problem with the guy has to do
with the fact that he's a plaintiffs attorney who specialized
in milk and money out of medical companies, pharmaceutical companies
and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So that's his that's his orientation. Has he been able
to set that aside in his role?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
His fans would say, yes, I'm not sure, but I
tell you what, I think ninety eight percent of Americans
would vote with me. What if she all the senators,
both the chieftain there, the chief is there? There? There's
no female equivalent of an Indian chief?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Is there? The Native people very sexist. I don't like
it anyway. They never get knocked for that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
No, of course not, of course not. It doesn't fit
the narrative. But what if she were to ask him
questions like she did, and he gave answers and she
says interesting because that conflicts with this, And he answered that,
and they discussed it like adults, and we all learned something.
I think ninety eight point eight percent of Americans would
vote for that and it never happens.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Well, wouldn't it be great if candy canes grew out
of the ground?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Also, Oh my god, kind of la la land you
expect to listen, beautiful dream.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I would ride the PONYU I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Get for Christmas across the landscape harvesting candy canes.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
He will toss a bear carcass in front of your
bicycle too.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It's funny. It was funny, then it's funny. Now that's
a funny gag.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Or if he got a whalehead, you need to get
between here and there, and he's got a van, he
will transport that.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Were you?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I think it was an article in the New York
Times opinion piece. Of course, the opinion piece news story,
it's the same thing in New York Times, but they
mentioned that Kennedy, who now advocates protecting whales, once saw
the head of a whale off what dead whale?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And that was well, no, that's the problem. That was
the sentence, as I explained it.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
It didn't didn't mention the fact that.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
It was a whale corpse.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The whale you could cut off his head or attached
the second one or whatever, wouldn't make any difference to
the damn whale.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
It was dead.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
He didn't go deep sea diving with chainsaws just because
he loves removing the noggins from whales and watching them.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Nesopher a quatic jack the Ripper.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
No, no, oh, we are so ill served that, both
our media and our leadership.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It's really discouraging, isn't God no kidding?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
So the actual government conversations are dumb, and then the
reporting am them are dumb.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And where you supposed to get your actual information about anything? Yeah, yeah,
I tell you what the roads are.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Chainsaw, the whole Maha thing, make America healthy again. There's
a lot of that that I am a big fan of,
and we don't have time to delve into it now,
but let's get into it tomorrow. Really interesting piece I
read by a gal, the title of which is my
family went off ultra processed foods for a month.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The results surprised us. Oh, I'd like to hear that.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I don't know if I started it as an experiment
has become our new diet.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It wouldn't be easy.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, No, it wasn't. That's one of the points she makes.
But they found the rewards to be far greater than
they'd even hoped.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
H I'm gonna have to look into that.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Check Clark, GISs time stop, Jack and Joe lift go
and if they don't get can the lpbats in Maro.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Here's your host for final thoughts. His name is Joe getting.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap things up for the day, beginning with our
technical director Michael Langelo.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Michael, what's your final thoughts? All right, my wife is
away tonight.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I've got a seventy seven inch TV, I can get
my own dinner, and the NFL starts tonight.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It doesn't get any better. Yeah, that's pretty good. I
love my life, but that's pretty good. Just claimer Nina said,
that's great. Katie Green is off. Can't wait till she's back. Jack,
do you have a final thought for us? Yes? I do.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
So.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
I've had a cold for a few days now, and
so I haven't been to the gym, I haven't worked out,
I haven't done my exercising, and I haven't been eating
that well. It's amazing how quickly you can pack on pounds.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I mean it's just shocking, shocking.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I get on the scale and I think, is this
thing broken?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, you know, I'm changing my final thought inspired by
that thinking this, I really fell in love with having
a pint in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
In Britain.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
There you go, you know, a nice tall beer with lunch,
and that's short thing at four John. Nobody got drunk
or disorderly or stupid or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It was just nice. It was relaxing.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Then you have four John with your day. Oh I'm
drinking way too much beer now. Oh I'm gonna get
so fat. So yeah, I gotta swear off of it.
It's got to be an occasional pleasure.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What beer are you going to? The one in front
of me? Right? Somebody drinking a lot of pernis? Okay?
Is that Italian? I think it is. Armstrong in Geddy.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Armstrong and Geeddy wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
So many people thank so little time. Good Armstrong in
geddy dot com for the hot links. Drop us a
line if there's something we ought to be talking about.
A perspective you want to share, Send it along mail
bag at Armstrong in Geeddy dot com. Got some great
swag for you, the lighthood. He's very popular. Grab it
at the sight see tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
I'm Strong and Getty. There were so many great moments.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
On today's Armstrong and Getty Show, but perhaps none.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
As great as this Wait a minute, that is unfair
to its core Ridge. I told you what the traffic is,
and I don't get a tippy. I put traffic in
weather together on the eights.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But by Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Fifty six year old lifelong bachelor Cory Booker finally engaged. Interesting, Yeah,
which means were she did to leave is no longer
the only one with a beard?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Two jokes price a one.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Wow, Oh it was who it wasn't it was ilhan Omar.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I've been meaning to bring this up.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Her latest financial disclosures say she's worth as much as
thirty million dollars all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, as happens with lots of people in government. Yeah.
Speaking of government, Elizabeth Warren is on I'm the war Path. Hey,
how are you? Hey? How are you?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
She is currently grilling RFK Junior. I don't know what
they're saying, but she's shaking her head and smiling in disbelief,
and he's waving his hands around and shouting.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So we'll bring that to you when we get it.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm surprised that she's attacking him, as he does have
red skin.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I earlier on the show committed to I'm going to
go to the super Bowl this time. I've never been
to a super Bowl. I would like to have us.
I'd like to have the experience to be able to
talk about on the air. And Super Bowl's always the
same as my age, so it's always been easy to remember.
It's super Bowl sixty. I'm sixty years old. But it's local,
so it's like seventy miles from my house, so I
wouldn't need a hotel or airfare.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So I was just asking.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Someone I know who has been to many Super Bowls
supporting their favorite team. Since I don't need airfare or
a hotel, what is it going to cost me a
couple thousand dollars to get ticket? And this person said,
last time I went, cheapest ticket I could find for
one person was ten grand.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh what oh that can't be can it? Well?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I don't know what they could find or how hard they.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Looked, but they have connections, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It could be that the real football fans snap up
the cheap seats because that's the best they can do,
and it's all corporate geeks who have the high dollar
ones who like free up their tickets.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
There's got to be a way anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
How about the vendor uniform walking backward if they don't
notice you.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I get.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I buy one of the hot dog things. I get, right,
I do a little research. You can find out what
the uniforms look like.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
I get.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I buy one on Etsy or have one made.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And you act like you just walked out of the
exit and say, oh my god, I forgot my hot dogs.
You gotta let me back. I forgot my tongs. Right,
I can't just hand them a hot dog with my
bare hand.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's disgusting. Anyway, I gotta get back in there. I'm
sure that would work.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
And then, of course I don't have a seat, so
I have to walk around the entire Super Bowl with
my hot dog outfit pretending I have hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Everybody's yelling me, hey, I'm starving. What the hell? I
don't have any act. Actually I actually did that once.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's a line from a Who song, people walk in
sideways pretending that they're leaving. I actually did that at
the intermission of concert once and got in really Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Interesting, Okay, I'll keep that in mind for this great show.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
So it was Stevie Ray Vaughan in like nineteen eighty four,
So eighty four. Yeah, the war in Ukraine is still now.
Now Bernie is waving his hearts around and all worked
up saying something like that. But we'll get to that later.
The war between Russian and Ukraine continues.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Remember all that excitement from a couple of weeks ago
and Putin and Trump met and all that, nothing came
of it. So the European leaders are meeting today to
talk about what they can do in terms of security
guarantees to try to bring this thing to an end.
And they're asking Trump basically, you know, what can we
count on from the United States. The Trump administration is
(04:16):
offering airpower and intelligence, although you know it's a very
vague term, so the devil would be in the details
on that too. Trump today, just a little bit ago,
said he's really pushing Europe to stop buying Russian oil
once and for all, quit buy an oil from Russia,
(04:36):
and to punish China for their backing of Russia throughout
this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I thought this was interesting reporting from Mark Alpern, who
has a lot of sources in all levels of government. Today,
he said the time is almost up on Trump's deadline
of fifty days or whatever, you know, for the for
the hardcore sanctions. The conversation, the binary conversation that's being
had in his administration, according to Mark Appin's reporting, is
(05:06):
Trump's either going to go all in on helping Kiev
and Europe win the war, or he's going to walk
away those two choices. Gotta go all in with Europe
to help Ukraine win, or not our deal, not our circus,
not our monkeys. Yeah, huh, I'd say, huh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
And I'm not even sure what to make of that
because there's gray area.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm sure it's not all in. All in.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Because we went all in, we would, you know, launching
a nuclear strike on Moscow.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But well, then all out is a bit fuzzy too
from me. I mean, if like Britain says, hey, we
want to buy a bunch of these missiles, he's said, no,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
No, I'm sure we would never stop selling stuff to people.
But if we pulled our intelligence that were I mean,
that's very.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Valuable, don't do that. That would be a big move.
I'm personally am voting for closer to all in than
all out.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I'll tell you that because I think it's important to
the message sends the rest of the world.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
But I know a lot of your and a warmonger
or a chicken hawk. I'm just I'm trying to say
people the trouble of writing. They're angry text and or email. Yeah, oh,
speaking of global issues. I thought this was interesting, new
first of its kind of city.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
This I gotta get a jump brand bots. So I'm
just reading the what CNN's got up there. Man Bernie
is waving his arms around like he's out of his mind,
and RFK Junior is fighting back also, So I don't
know what they're talking about.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Carl Marx has been, has been, riadam, I didn't come
to life.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
But apparently Kennedy said at some point, and he's right,
nobody has any idea how many people died of COVID,
and Elizabeth Warren said, how could you possibly be so ignorant?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, we don't know. We know that we.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Don't know because that was well documented toward the end
of all this, that they would count it as a
COVID death if you died of a heart attack but
also had COVID.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yes, if you got.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Hit we're all killed yourself because your wife left you, right,
or if you got hit by a car and you
had to happen to have COVID when you forgot to
look left when you stepped into the.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Crosswalk, because there were huge financial incentives for hospitals to
deal with COVID patients.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Right huh.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Anyway, anyway, Elizabeth Warren, what a crank she is?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Please she speaks with We all know it. That's that's
true enough.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Speaking of which, as I began to say, a new
first of its kind of study by Dutch researchers finds
no evidence of a global acceleration in sea level.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Rise because of climate change. This is a peer reviewed study.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
The A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Change Changes
is published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering.
It's the first study to be based on local data
taken from coastal sites around the world, rather than on
models based on extrapolations. The study conduct an analysis of
more than two hundred tide gage stations worldwide, and it
(08:04):
cuts against the long standing belief among climate scientists and
activists that the climate change is leading to rapidly accelerating
sea level rises. The research, conducted by a Dutch couple
of guys you've never heard of, found that the average
rate of sea level rise in twenty twenty is only
around one point five millimeters per year, worth fifteen centimeters
(08:24):
per century.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That ain't a lot. I spent all that money to
put my house on stilts for nothing.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wow, I know where your house is. That was cautious. Well,
yes house, listening to al Gore.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, So climate scientists and scientific literature and media have
been saying three to four millimeters per year, So this is.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Has per year. Well that's the harem scarem. I can't
even imagine how you measure that. That's so tiny. Yeah,
and so what they're saying is the.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Actual rise is either a half of that or less
than a third I'm sorry, around a third, depending on
which one millimeter a year.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
How could you possibly measure that?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The one scientist said he could not believe that no
research who had come before him had performed an analysis
of real world local data. The scientists name is Vortmann.
He says, quote, it's crazy that it had not been done.
I started doing this research in twenty twenty one by
doing the literature review. Who has done their comparisons of
the projections with the observations, and there were none to
study wow.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So it's all.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Been models that, as we all know, could be way wrong,
and they use those projections.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
And interestingly enough, this was done with external funding. This
was a hydraulic engineer who's involved in flood protection and
coastal infrastructure adaptation projects all over the world. And he said,
I just need to know the facts, and I couldn't
find anybody looking at actual data.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I mean, like, if you're trying to predict how fat
you're going to be without ever weighing yourself, right, you're
just guessing based on it. You can continue to eat pie.
At the rate you eat pie, you could be nine
thousand pounds by next year.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And this Wortmann guy said, well, how much did you gain, like,
you know, twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, And
the answer came back, nobody's actually like wighed Jack and
he's and his response is a very polite are you
ef thing kidding me? So for the vast majority of stations,
he says, the differences between the two curves were not significant.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
That gets deep into the methodology anyway.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
His takeaway is that no, the sea level are rising,
but at a fraction of what they're said to be rising,
and there are only a very small percentage that showed
notable increases or decreases in sea level. The rest were
practically the same. Anyway, is this going to be completely
(11:06):
debunked in our lifetimes to where it just like it
becomes a story for the history books. Yeah, it'll be
referenced in the same way that we reference the coming
ice age Harem scarem talk of the nineteen seventies. Yeah,
I think so, sincerely. And I don't have a seal
(11:28):
on this ice flow. I hate to say I don't
have a dog in the fight, because I find dogfighting abhorrent,
but yeah, I don't have a herring in this seal
feeding frenzy. But no, I think we're going to realize. Yeah,
the climate is changing. The climate is always changing. Human
activity has had some effect on it. But one of
(11:49):
the effects has been global cooling, which I think I
talked about a few weeks ago, because some of the
particular matter in the air blocks sunlight and so it's
actually cooled the globe. And it's actually more complicated than that.
That's not a good thing necessarily if it's true. But
what you need to always always remember is that a crisis,
(12:09):
whether real or imagined, is the reason given to move
enormous amounts of money around. Yeah, from taxpayers to the
recipients of taxpayer money. It can be global warming, It
can be the police need to be defunded because of
(12:29):
an alleged penchant for killing black men. It can be
a werewolf epidemic. It doesn't matter. It's just important to
have a crisis to justify the moving of enormous amounts
of money.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Right, And it's just human nature.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I mean so, even if you believe the first study,
when another study comes along that would take away your
livelihood and the billions of dollars you want to spend
on various things, how likely are you to pay attention
to that as opposed to in the desk drawer and
worry about it later.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Why did the Biden administration in their last moments in
office doll out billions of dollars to the likes of
Stacy Abrams and people like that? Because every single GD
person involved in the whole Green thing votes Democrat all
the time, so you keep them financed. It's entirely a
measure to retain power. I have nothing to do with
(13:24):
the level of the ocean in the.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Netherlands and everyone knows it, and everyone knows their.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Bad built butch body, you're right, I don't know if
any of this RFK Junior stuff is actually good.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
If it is, we'll play it for you. To stay here.
He's running.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Lets tells you quite male covered in mud and underwear.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Oh, man, you had a chance, you had a choice.
I was scared, Joe okare was that?
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I was?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Headline?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Man covered in mud wearing only a speedo runs from
Idaho Springs police.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Why don't they have this guy's first note? What had
the miscreant done?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
They're trying to serve warrant credit card fraud and stolen identification.
But they found him in the Hot Springs mud bath
and confronted him about his alleged credit card fraud. Oh
his name is Alec Bogus. That is so totally bogus.
What you have dead with my credit cards? Alec Bogus.
(14:40):
Bogus denied the claims before the officers mentioned the warrant
from a different county told him he'd be going to jail. Well,
not putting up with that, he leapt from the mud
in his speedo and took to the hills.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Excellent plan because people always get away and then they
never hear from the police again, and they just go
on to live perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Lines happens all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Right the copsu have your name and address and your
charges and a warrant and the rest of it, they'll
just get bored and move on.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Okay, Han, totally bogus.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Which of these clips is the very best clip of
RFK Junior being grilled by someone?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Which is your favorite.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Executive producer, Mike Canson whispering into our ears.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
So he's not whispering to my ear because he doesn't
know what the best one is.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
He doesn't, who does. I don't want that one. Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
I hate to have Elizabeth Warren's voice on the air
at all if I can avoid it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Let's go with thirty six to just again some basic fact.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Do you do you accept the fact that a million
Americans died from COVID?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I don't know how many died.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Here's a Secretary of Health and Human Services. You don't
have any idea how many Americans died from COVID.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't think anybody knows because there was so much
data chaos coming out of the CDC, and.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They would all take you and these are models.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
You know, I know the answer of how many Americas
from COVID? This is the site here of Health and
Human Services. Do you think the vaccine did anything to
prevent additional tests?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Again, I would like to see the data and talk
about the data.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And you had had this job for eight months and.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You don't know the data about whether the vaccine.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Face And the problem is that they didn't have the data.
The data by the Biden administration absolutely dismal.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So I think the gist of that.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
So but on that one, I think there's going to
be some questions that I agree with the questionnaires about,
like Cacassidy. The Republican was beating him up pretty good
on some things he's done. That is in effect denying
people the opportunity to even get vaccines if you want
to get them. But we don't know how many people
die to COVID because of the way they were counting.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We don't know the data.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
The data was chaos is a RF case And he's
right about that. Yeah, And since you don't have any
idea people died, bull crap.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I know all of these hearings. Has you had this
job right? Monson? You still don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
I just told you no because the data is ridiculous.
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I committed in the show today on day one of
the NFL season to go to the super Bowl this year,
as I've never been. Then I was talked out of
it in the subsequent hours, so I will not do that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I was talked out of it. Why how in two
hours time?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
A fellow broadcaster has been a handful of times said
they have been and have nothing to add to talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
The super Bowl having been multiple times.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Oh, which is the only reason I would go, because
I just always assumed there'd be all kinds of stuff
that I would experience it be fun to talk about.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But they said that is not.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
True because it is so overwhelmingly a made for TV event.
You know, for a regular season Baseball, NBA, you got
to be able to get fans in there. You gotta
have the fan experiences gotta be good enough to make
the whole thing work.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
The super Bowl doesn't, right.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
They have fans there for all kinds of corporate reasons,
and you know, it'd be weird if the crowd was
if it was an empty stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But don't need them. It's a multi.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Billion dollar four TV event and nothing to gain by
being a fan, according.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
To them, Yeah, maybe we can pursue this off the air.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I have faith in your ability to observe and tell tales.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, and make it.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Clear how not fan oriented it is if you're there,
which I would find interest.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
If I could go for free, that would be worthwhile,
But ten thousand dollars probably not, since I could fly
to Hawaii, spend a week in a nice hotel, watch
it on TV, and fly back for the same amount
of money.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah, you got a point there. So speaking of money,
look the whole no tax on tips thing in the
Big Beautiful Bill, which is now the Middle Class Tax
Cut Bill for the middle Class Opportunity Bill.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
They changed the name of it. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Well, they're yeah, trying to like change the name of
it in the popular consciousness or the purposes of winning
the midterms. And because you know, Republicans in general are
up against not only the Democratic Party but the entirety
of the media practically, and so people, for instance, get
the idea that the bill actually raise taxes on the
(19:26):
middle class to cut it for billionaires, or the billionaires
get the biggest benefit of which even The New York
Times is debunked, but that's what a lot of people think.
So yeah, they're trying to respind it by renaming it.
But anyway, the whole no tax on tips thing is
ridiculous and always has been. It was just an effort
to win Nevada, which is fine. You have to win
to hold office. Although you know, I do have a
(19:48):
little bit of sympathy for the idea that a tip
is a gift, it's not a wage. But anyway, the
list of who gets to deduct it and who doesn't
is a bit unintentionally funny because it's not all taxed
or tipped employees. But the list of who does get
(20:09):
to deduct it up to twenty five thousand dollars is interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Well, there's going to be a lot of effort to
to restructure your the way you're paid at your job
so that some of it could be called a tip.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Maybe we can do that. Maybe if we could get a.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Big chunk of our salary, you'd be called a tip,
then we don't pay taxes on it.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Well, so we were talking earlier about how NFL teams
play pay the minimum salary to the superstars, but to
then give them ginormous signing bonuses because you can amortize
that over many, many years to keep under the salary camp. Anyway, Yes,
we should be tipped and generously. I think we had
good service guessing game. Just for chuckles, what percentage of
(20:55):
Americans work in tipped jobs tipped industry. I'm going to
go ten percent two point five. Wow, I would have
missed that completely, and I.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Thought I was going low. So it's very low. Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah. I wasn't trying to hang you out to try
or anything. I just I was surprised by that number.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's about four million Americans, that's all. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Initially it was unclear what jobs the tax deductions would
apply to. Now the Treasury Department is settled on an
expensive but fare list and released it this week. Policy
in effect through twenty twenty eight on tips up to
twenty five thousand dollars as the maximum induction. The sixty
eight jobs that qualify were separated into eight categories by
(21:38):
the Treasury Department.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
What's what?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
They hand you the thing with your credit cards sticking
out at the top, and your choices are like, it's
not twenty Usually the choices are eighteen twenty two and
fifteen or something like that. What is that trick they're
hoping that you'll round up? You think, well, I'm not
the kind of person that's going to stip them at eighteen.
(22:00):
I guess I'll go twenty two unless you wanted to
cost them and then you press costume and you got
to go to another screen and you got to type
in the numbers, and you just don't want to do it.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I believe you have answered your own question quite accurately. Okay,
it's exactly. Virtually every single thing we ate in Europe
was like that. They show up with a little machine
bingay bangaddy bogaty. You've paid your gone, there's no they
bring you the check. You quick go for your credit card,
but they've walked away already, and they finally come back
and get your credit card.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Fifteen minutes later, You're like, where do you have? Are they?
I want to get out of here? No, none of that,
None of that. It was great.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I was gonna give you a three quid, but I'm
only going to give you two guinea.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Now, let's stick that in your hogshead and didn't smoke
it or something. Sixty eight jobs to qualify eight categories
beverages and food service, which is exactly what you'd think.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The list is kind of funny, but do we have
time for this? Not really?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Entertainment and events, including gambling dealers, gambling change persons and
booth cashiers, gambling cage workers, gambling in sports, book writers
and runners.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
I don't gamble, so you're supposed you're supposed to tip
the person dealing the cards.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
When you play blackjack or something.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
If you win, generally you lay a little love on them,
which I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
When you lose, they don't lay any damn love on me.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Uh, And the cage workers like you swap out.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Dancers, so tip those dancers exotic or otherwise.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Musicians and they're counting strippers, so part of that is
two percent of people who get tips or strippers, right,
Musicians and singers, disc jockeys except radio.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Wait a minute, ye, that is unfair to its core ridge.
I told you what the traffic is, and I don't
get a tip. I put traffic in weather together on
the eights.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No tips for you.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Entertainers and performers, digital content creators, ushers, lobby attendants, and
tick takers, locker room, coat room, and the dressing room attendance.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
With some of these, nobody was paying taxes on anyway.
I mean the musicians.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
If you're a fool.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
If you're a musician who gets a tip, that means
your person standing on the corner with a hat in
front of you, singing a song at a busy third,
you know part of town.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
You're paying taxes on that. Come on now.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
In fact, I often, like when I'm getting my hairs
cut or whatever, I will hand the person the tip
and say, as opposed to putting it on the credit card,
I'll say it, let's keep the government out of the
tipping process.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Good for you. I should do that. Yeah, yeah, that'd
make me a better person, clared or not.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Anyway, hospital I'm sorry, Hospitality and guest services, baggage porters
and bell hops, concierges, hotel motel and resort desk clerks, hote.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Are you paying tips on it?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
So I give you two bucks for putting my bag
on the cart, You're gonna well, I better write that down.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Make sure the government gets a cut.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
What it's eleven cents in taxes and I got them
to pay it. Maids and housekeeping cleaners. Then in home services,
here are the people you can tip and they can
deduct it. Home maintenance and repair workers, home landscaping and
groundskeeping workers, home electricians, home plumbers, heating and air conditioning
mechanics and installers. I have never tipped somebody who fixed
(25:18):
my air conditioner.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
You tap your landscaper. I've never paid for a landscaper.
I've lived places that had them, but you tip them.
I thought we just worked out a deal. Yeah, yeah,
you pay them.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Home appliance installers and repairers, home cleaning service workers, locksmith's,
roadside assistance.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Workers, locksmith's boy.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I'll tell you what, every time I need a locksmith
once in your life.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
You got personal services that include both pet caretakers and
tutors along other things.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You tip your tutor. I haven't. I haven't caught a
few tutors, but I just we worked out a wage. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Personal appearance and wellness everything from massada therapists and shampoos
to tattoo artists, recreation instruction.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
The number we don't know is what percentage of people
were claiming this money on their taxes anyway, And it's
got to be incredibly low.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Zero percent is how many recreation and instruction golf caddies,
self enrichment teachers, recreational and tour pilots, to guides and escorts.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
What the hell's a self enrichment teacher. I haven't tipped
him or her in a very long time.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know. Maybe if you're more enriched, you know
who to tip. Jack Ass a nice job today, I
am walking out of here enriched af.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Oh sports and recreation instructors. And finally, transportation and delivery,
which includes parking and valet attendance, taxi and rise here,
rides here drivers and show first shuttle drivers, good delivery people,
personal vehicle and equipment cleaners, private carter charter bus drivers,
water taxi operators and charter boat workers. Rickshaw, peedicab and
(27:02):
carriage drivers. Thank god, oh movers.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
The rickshaw peddlers will no longer have to pay taxes
on their tips.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
The suffocating oppression of taxation will no longer crush the
humble American rickshaw operator.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
The yoke of taxation no longer ways on the shoulder
of the man peddling your rickshaw down the street.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Free of the rickshaw.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Okay, we might if there's a good clip play RFK
Junior getting yelled at because that's going on right now,
or among other things that will finish strong with next.
I can't imagine how tiring it would be to ever
be grilled by Congress at one of those hearings, because
(27:51):
it's just it's just it's it's a gotcha fest. It's
just an attempt to get you to lose your temper
or put you in a position where you can and said,
the question look bad, so dumb. Oh, and it's completely pointless.
I mean, you can cut your weight through it.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
If something was being accomplished, you could screer courage to
this taking place. But excuse me, you're just there to
generate jazzy you know video for people to watch twenty
seconds of, get misinformed and go about their evening.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
That is an excellent encapsulation of what happens. Yes, Elizabeth
Warren questioning RFK Junior kids, tell the.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Head of the CDC that if she refused to sign
off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, that
she had to resign.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh. I told her that she had to resign because
I asked her, are you a trustworthy person?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And she said no.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
If you had an employee who told you they weren't trustworthy,
would you ask them to resigneditor.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
So I'm sorry, but this is not what she has
said publicly.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
She has said I'm not surprised about that. So you're
saying she's lying.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yes, every conversation I had with her there, Yes, just straight.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
This is the same person that less than a month
earlier you stood next to her and described her as unimpeachable,
and you had full confidence in her, and that you
had full confidence in her scientific credentials. And in a
month she became a liar.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, we should ask her what change?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
And by the way, a month ago you were voting
against her because you thought she was either incompetent, in allegible,
or on suited to the task.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Maybe I was afraid she was going to bend the
need of you and Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
That is hilarious. Sow RFK Junior for the wind. That
is hilarious. You voted against her. Now you're horrified that
I fired her.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Come on, man, that was We need more of that
than these hearings. What are you joking you? Let's talk
about you for a Yeah, let me.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Hit the ball across the net back to your side
of the court for a moment.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm not a giant RFK junior fan, but that was beautiful.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, no kidding. What an interesting character he is. What
do you spend it a dozen years as a heroin
addict or something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, he was on the smack for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
And then my problem with the guy has to do
with the fact that he's a plaintiffs attorney who specialized
in milk and money out of medical companies, pharmaceutical companies
and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So that's his that's his orientation. Has he been able
to set that aside in his role?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
His fans would say, yes, I'm not sure, but I
tell you what, I think ninety eight percent of Americans
would vote with me. What if she all the senators,
both the chieftain there, the chief is there? There? There's
no female equivalent of an Indian chief?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Is there? The Native people very sexist. I don't like
it anyway. They never get knocked for that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
No, of course not, of course not. It doesn't fit
the narrative. But what if she were to ask him
questions like she did, and he gave answers and she
says interesting because that conflicts with this, And he answered that,
and they discussed it like adults, and we all learned something.
I think ninety eight point eight percent of Americans would
vote for that and it never happens.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Well, wouldn't it be great if candy canes grew out
of the ground?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Also, Oh my god, kind of la la land you
expect to listen, beautiful dream.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I would ride the PONYU I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Get for Christmas across the landscape harvesting candy canes.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
He will toss a bear carcass in front of your
bicycle too.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
It's funny. It was funny, then it's funny. Now that's
a funny gag.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Or if he got a whalehead, you need to get
between here and there, and he's got a van, he
will transport that.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Were you?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I think it was an article in the New York
Times opinion piece. Of course, the opinion piece news story,
it's the same thing in New York Times, but they
mentioned that Kennedy, who now advocates protecting whales, once saw
the head of a whale off what dead whale?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And that was well, no, that's the problem. That was
the sentence, as I explained it.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
It didn't didn't mention the fact that.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
It was a whale corpse.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The whale you could cut off his head or attached
the second one or whatever, wouldn't make any difference to
the damn whale.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
It was dead.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
He didn't go deep sea diving with chainsaws just because
he loves removing the noggins from whales and watching them.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Nesopher a quatic jack the Ripper.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
No, no, oh, we are so ill served that, both
our media and our leadership.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It's really discouraging, isn't God no kidding?
Speaker 5 (32:59):
So the actual government conversations are dumb, and then the
reporting am them are dumb.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And where you supposed to get your actual information about anything? Yeah, yeah,
I tell you what the roads are.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Chainsaw, the whole Maha thing, make America healthy again. There's
a lot of that that I am a big fan of,
and we don't have time to delve into it now,
but let's get into it tomorrow. Really interesting piece I
read by a gal, the title of which is my
family went off ultra processed foods for a month.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The results surprised us. Oh, I'd like to hear that.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
I don't know if I started it as an experiment
has become our new diet.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It wouldn't be easy.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, No, it wasn't. That's one of the points she makes.
But they found the rewards to be far greater than
they'd even hoped.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
H I'm gonna have to look into that.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Check Clark, GISs time stop, Jack and Joe lift go
and if they don't get can the lpbats in Maro.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Here's your host for final thoughts. His name is Joe getting.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap things up for the day, beginning with our
technical director Michael Langelo.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Michael, what's your final thoughts? All right, my wife is
away tonight.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I've got a seventy seven inch TV, I can get
my own dinner, and the NFL starts tonight.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It doesn't get any better. Yeah, that's pretty good. I

do you have a final thought for us? Yes? I do.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
So.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
I've had a cold for a few days now, and
so I haven't been to the gym, I haven't worked out,
I haven't done my exercising, and I haven't been eating
that well. It's amazing how quickly you can pack on pounds.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I mean it's just shocking, shocking.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
I get on the scale and I think, is this
thing broken?
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, you know, I'm changing my final thought inspired by
that thinking this, I really fell in love with having
a pint in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
In Britain.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
There you go, you know, a nice tall beer with lunch,
and that's short thing at four John. Nobody got drunk
or disorderly or stupid or anything.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
It was just nice. It was relaxing.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Then you have four John with your day. Oh I'm
drinking way too much beer now. Oh I'm gonna get
so fat. So yeah, I gotta swear off of it.
It's got to be an occasional pleasure.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What beer are you going to? The one in front
of me? Right? Somebody drinking a lot of pernis? Okay?
Is that Italian? I think it is. Armstrong in Geddy.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
On today's Armstrong and Getty Show, but perhaps none.
Speaker 7 (36:12):
As great as this Wait a minute, that is unfair
to its core Ridge. I told you what the traffic is,
and I don't get a tippy. I put traffic in
weather together on the eights.
