Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty enough Key, I'm strong.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The US scrambling fighter jets to intercept for Russian warplanes
near Alaska. The Russian jets never entered US airspace, but
are another sign President Putin is testing NATO in Denmark's
night sky drones that witnesses say hovered over an airport
and a military base Denmark, calling them hybrid attacks by
(00:44):
a professional actor.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The Russian embassy.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Denying involvement, calling it staged and a provocation. More escalating rhetoric,
Russia's foreign minister saying NATO and Europe have declared war
on Russia through Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Man, it's one thing to be messing with Poland and
Finland and whoever the house Denmark. But I can't believe
Putin's buzzin r airspace.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Wow, what does he hope for? What is his pride plan?
Do not know?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I'm troubling. Here's a text we got though. This is
an interesting one, just out of nowhere on the text line.
Our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Here's the text we got, are you still in the
market for an artificial Christmas tree? I have a nine
foot pre lit tree that's been used twice, but it's
too big for my new house. Let me know if
you want it.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Be a hell of a bargain. Now did they mean
to text us, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't recall which were in the market for a
nine foot pre lit Christmas tree?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't remember talking about that in the month of September.
It's going to be one hundred degrees here today, right, yeah,
and said, we're doing tradio in the fourth hour, Oh,
tradio in the fourth hour, next hour during during the
fourth hour, snow tires, we're going to be talking about
one of the American tech giants warning us about the
(02:10):
anti Christ and how AI relates to that the old
ac right. Kind of an intriguing notion. Plus, you know,
I just remembered I asked Hanson for this. It is.
It's a libs of TikTok style piece of audio in
(02:32):
which the left says what they think and we all say,
holy crap, you people are crazy. Except this took place
at the UN. This is testimony at the UN by
the COVID cult. Oh, switch for that yesterday. I think
they're talking about COVID this week at the UN. Yeah, why,
(02:56):
I don't know. You want to play it was debating society.
What are you talking about, Michael fourteen? No, that's what
I'm saying that we'll get to that at some point.
But yeah, we will indeed get to that one. Michael
highly intrigued. Okay, So anyway, a couple of things really
quickly on the always do you need the nine Christmas
tree or not? I got to remeasure my ceilings. Remember
(03:22):
the one year I got the twenty foot tree? That
was something. I had a twenty foot Christmas tree one year,
just once because there's a lot of work. Oh, I
can't imagineficial. So I had to just blast it right
on through the scene. What no real, A real twenty
foot tree? A way to rape Mother Earth for your
temporary holiday with celebrations. What nice job I'm gonna bring
(03:46):
you before the UN. You monster. So anyway, the always
sexy topic of government budgeting, we around here do not
pay attention to the government.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Shutdown stuff shut down, we gotta cut down, locked down.
Here in the corner, you see the countdown to the shutdown. No,
I don't unplug it, ki't it break it.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Somebody hit it with a hammer, because it's always just
the inside the Beltway crap. Has nothing to do with
real Americans in their lives, their hopes and dreams and
their children and the rest of it. It's just it's
the two phony parties just maneuvering for more power. Right.
But this one I find at least a little bit
interesting because the Democrats for some reason, think it would
(04:26):
be good to have a government shut down, because they
say they won't do a stopgap funding measure to keep
the government running unless they're given four hundred and fifty
billion dollars in additional Obamacare money, an end to some
other holes on spending, and a reversal of the Medicaid
reform in the GOP's big beautiful bill. In other words,
(04:48):
is the fabulous Kim Strassel rights in the Wall Street Journal.
Democrats will give the Trump team exactly what it's been wanting,
a shutdown, in return for Democrats continuing demand something they
will never get. What a deal.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
And the point is, I say, you throw in banning
the tush push and you got a deal.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wow. So Russ voute vote, who's the vaught? The director
of the Office of Management Budget said, all right, if
you shut down the government and these departments are not funded,
we're going to fire everybody. We're going to end them,
and we will achieve the giant cuts that we've been
trying to make through executive orders or legislation or whatever.
(05:27):
You shut it down, all those folks are fired. That's
quite a play. Yeah, yeah, And Kim explains how it
would it be done and how it would work. Didn't
think about that, did you? Now? For small government advocates,
the beauty of this is its reset potential. When government reopens,
the Trump team will hire back the fewest possible statutorily
required employees at programs it already wanted to cut. For
(05:50):
a starter list, see the more than forty five. Trump's
recent budget asked Congress to eliminate including Economic Development Administration
blah blah blah, and the Education Department. So go ahead, Chuck,
go ahead, hockeen. Sounds great, fantastic. In case you didn't
hear it, this was what day was this? This was
yesterday front page. There's a picture of an elk on
(06:10):
the front page of the USA Today and.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Their story was staff cuts at national Parks had little
apparent impact. I'm surprised the USA Today ran that story,
but they went through the here are things people said
would happen when you fire all these people at the
national Parks. Everything was fine, right, good, right, I'll bet
that could happen with lots of departments. So when you're
financing a charity, for instance, maybe you go to Charity
(06:34):
Navigator you're thinking of giving to some fine cause, and
they will rate you on how much of your budget
actually goes to the programs and how much is overhead
and advertising that sort of thing, and you know you're
looking for high eighties at least.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, that's my advice. Anyway, your results make very But
the the what was the Blanket Agency? The USAID folks
that did a lot of global medical programs around the world,
which sound good like AIDS in HIV prevention. It's a
(07:15):
nice program. It's you know, the United States spreading some goodwill,
saving some human lives. How much good does it do
US A's debatable, as I'm actually pro foreign assistance, not
out of some pie in the sky, you know, Dreamer philosophy.
It's because there are three ways to have friends internationally.
(07:36):
One you just have obviously aligned priorities your country. A.
You live next to country. B you both are constantly
threatened by country. C. You're going to be friends. That's
easy to be the one that buys the beer to
you bribe them exactly. You bribe people to be your friends.
It's always been true, always will be true. A lot
of foreign age aid is bribery to keep them on
(07:56):
our side, and that's not wasted money, it's well spent.
The third way, you threaten to beat them up if
they don't be your friend. Those are the only three
ways to have friends internationally. So I'm pro smart fourn
a anyway, But listen to this with you. Of the
one hundred and ten billion dollars US taxpayers have poured
into global HIV age prevention since two thousand and three,
(08:18):
one hundred and ten billion dollars, just forty percent of
it went toward on the ground deliveries of life saving
medical supplies, tests, blah blah blah. The rest of it
is salaries and management and overhead and oh oh, and
paying for programs like a transgender Day of Remembrance and
a decolonizing development series et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, so
(08:42):
you know, you can be in favor of a thing
the government does, but be aware that they do it
horribly and wastefully and just line everybody's pockets with it.
That's the problem with big government. Who got fired for
only applying forty percent of that one hundred and ten
billion dollars toward actional on the ground helping people who
name the names nobody, of course nobody, because there's no
(09:04):
freaking accountability in government. That's why you got to join
us in, you know, squeezing the government as hard as
you can. Okay, I promise something entertaining. Celebrity cult alert.
This is nineteen year old Violet Affleck as in Ben
and Jennifer Garner, their daughter and Affleck and their daughter
(09:27):
who goes to Yale because of course she does.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah she, I'm sure shared her way in and just
it's funny how movie stars and politicians their kids are
always so smart they get into those best colleges.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and often they have a
brief rowing career as well. In a funny coincidence anyway,
So here she is testifying as a youth ambassador in
front of the un about the danger of long COVID
toward children and how we have to bring back mandatory
(09:59):
man now now she is testifying in a mask.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Here's what we know about sar Kobe too. It is airborne,
floating and lingering in the air. One infection can result
in disabling damage to almost every cell in the body,
from the brain and heart to the nerves and blood vessels.
Every subsequent infection increases the risk of long COVID and
places people.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Who already have it in greater danger.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Here's what we don't know is what it does to
reinfect children over and over and over again with no
end point in sight, from the day they are born.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We are about to find out.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
As doctor Akiko Ywasaki says, at this point, the whole
population is the control group, and after only five years,
long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic
illness in children five years. I am terrified for the
children who do not or soon will not know a
world without.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Ability to her the whole I'm obsessed with COVID cult.
I mean, if you're scientists, you study respiratory diseases, and
you're studying it good, you should it's interesting. It's weird disease.
I tell you what. If you want a really novel coronavirus,
go to doctor Fauci's Wuhan House of bat Viruses because man,
(11:16):
they'll design yah humdinger. But you people who are still
wearing masks in airports still like what I had an article.
I wish i'd kept it. All three of the West
Coast states, the infamous bluest states in America, California, Oregon,
and Washington are all still pushing COVID shots for children constantly. Wow,
(11:46):
that was interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So is there any truth any of that about the
current version of COVID that's flowing round That.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
COVID is now the most kid is more common than asthma.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I don't think it's given lots of long COVID. I
haven't heard that story at all. And I live in
the because.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
They're affected over and over and over again.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
What I live in this sort of town where if
it was happening, I would think I would have heard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
About it, right right, Yeah, yeah, craziness.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I know some kids with asthma. I haven't heard anybody
saying my kid has long COVID.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Not one person, No, I know one adult who claims
to have had long COVID. It might have been something else,
as it turns out. But anyway, Uh, did you say
Prize Picks Michael? Oh, I couldn't be more revved up
about Prize Picks so much fun. I loves the football,
you know, me watching last night oh so exciting. And
Prize Picks is the easiest way to get in on
fantasy sports action. You don't have to like go to
(12:38):
a draft and build a team and do trades and stuff.
It becomes a second job. No, With a Prize Picks,
you just pick two to six player stat projections and say,
I think it's going to be more or less. That's it.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I think that's one of the reasons Prize Picks is
so popular is you can dip in and out of
it and it's not you know, like you said, have
to take on a second job and.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Monitor her every week and every that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So you download the Prize Picks app today and use
the code Armstrong, and you get fifty dollars in lineups
after you play your first five dollars. They just want
you to play that first five dollars. Then you get
fifty dollars fifty dollars in lineups. Just use the code Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And this week there's a special max discount for motion
live on the board right now, Jalen Hurts has been
discounted to only needing to go for one passing yard
during Eagles v. Buccaneers on Sunday. Just add one more
play to your lineup and if your player hits, you
can cash in prize picks. Use that code Armstrong, download
the Prize Picks app, get the fifty dollars in lineups
(13:33):
after you play your first five dollars lineup. It's automatic.
You don't have to win prize picks. It's good to
be right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So Diet cokech bringing back a beloved flavor that had
gone away.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Tell you about that.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
We got to touch on the James Coley story, which
is either the biggest thing in the world or not.
And did Donald Trump and Millenia have an argument the
other day? Lip readers way in, we'll have that for you.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
NBC is area the season premieres of all of their
Law and Order French as is back to.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Back to back.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, there really are a lot of them.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Check out this promise on today Thursdays on NBC catch
the season premieres of Law and Order, Law and Order,
Special Victims Unit, and Law and Order Organized Crime. Then
on Friday, catch the season premieres of Law and Order,
Parking Tickets, Law and Order, Porchspirates, Law and Order, The
Trilight Turned Pretty Low and Order, waffle House, Lawn Order, Oops,
All Ditty Chicago, Law and Order, followed by.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
The Tonight Show. Yeah, promote them. I like no Law
and Order waffle House. That was my favorite one.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
There's no limit to how many of those people will watch.
Apparently the flavor is retro diet coke lime. It will
be hitting the shelves again.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Apparently that's a flavor people loved and it had gone
away in its back. So there you go. Good for you,
all right, super super is right?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Trump and Melania's finger waving spat what wasn't so? Apparently
the other day, after they left the un they got
on the helicopter. People could see through the window. Trump
was wagging his finger at Milania as she was shaking
her head, and there was speculation that this was some
sort of Macrone and his wife sort of fight. Remembered
that from a couple of months ago. Where did she
(15:19):
shove him in the face or whatever happened there. Back
off loser right anyway, So according to forensic lip readers,
this was not a fight. Donald Trump was angry about
the escalator having stopped, and he said to Mlania something like,
(15:46):
they tried. I can't forgive them. They tried to hurt you,
and we can't do this. We should stay safe. You're
not safe. And then she said something back to him
that was calmed down or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
He said that they could have.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He said, it's amazing that Malanney and I didn't fall
forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps face first.
He later posted, it was only that we were holding
on the handrail tightly, or it would have been a disaster.
I don't know that. I always grabbed the handrail the
second I step on an escalator. Of course, I'm not
eighty years old either. It would be a lot easier
for an eighty year old to go down hard on
an escalator. She's wearing ridiculously high heels. I don't even
(16:25):
know how she walks in.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Those those shoes. Practice. Yeah, and again, I could believe
this story that the White House videographer accidentally pressed the
emergency stop button while jostling from position in isolation. I
could believe that. But also with the teleprompter and what
was the PA speakers went out and.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Come on and again, Like I said the other day,
would it be the least bit shocking that somebody involved
in the UN wanted to mess with Trump and do that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
No, it's not even a tiny bit shocking. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
So yeah, I think the fact the elevator, escalator and
the teleprompter, Yeah, somebody was just you know, it's to
no effect, but it just shows you Trump derangement syndrome.
It's really the spitting in the hamburger of the diplomatic set.
So James call Mey being indicted and threatened with jail
(17:22):
time former FBI director. All media other than Fox is
considering this the worst thing, maybe the worst thing Trump
has ever done, and a real sign that our democracy
is over and we should all be afraid. Fox is
not treating it that way. Not surprisingly, we can delve
into that a little bit when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So the headline is Democrats rail against lawfair Okay, right,
I would like to discuss.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
This, pointing out that most of my conservative pundits that
I really like are saying this isn't going to go anywhere.
But that's not because James Comy isn't a jerk and
a liar and a phony. But it's just in this
particular case, it's not going to go anywhere. But anyway,
we'll bring you up to speed on all that coming
up in just a moment. If you missed a segment,
get the podcast Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
On demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
So this is breaking news. Trump just said this a
few minutes ago, looking.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Like we have a deal on Gaza.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, we'll let you know. I think it's a deal
that we'll get the hostages back. It's going to be
a deal that will end the war. It's gotta be
a deal which it's gonna be a peace. I think
we have a deal that'll be number eight Beeter.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
That's the sort of thing Trumps throws out before he
gets on a helicopter. I think we got a deal
in Gaza. War will be over and we'll get the
hostages back. Anyway, talk to you later, a good weekend. Okay,
no details, no, no, don't don't have any idea. Yahoo
spoke with you n day to day. He didn't sound
like there was any any any deal happening.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But if I had to guess, the scumbag Hamas leaders
are saying, wait, what So this is the forty third
supposed political earthquake around Donald Trump? According to the mainstream media,
it might actually be. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I don't know, but so James Comby for me FBI
former FBI director got indicted yesterday by the Trump Justice
Department at Trump's behest. I mean, it's that's not even
the sources close say no. He said out loud, Hey,
Pam BONDI, what are you gonna indicet? James Coby said
that the other day, time's right out.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He fired the guy in the gig, the Eastern Virginia
prosecutor gig, who wouldn't do it, and appointed one of
his own people who would do it, who happened to
be a really hot looking woman.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Anyway, that's irrelevant. So yeah, it was clearly a tost.
It's not irrelevant to Trump. I know that she's a
hot looking woman because all his lawyers tend to be
look like they are models, like his wife. So what's
Comey being accused of lying under oath claiming that he
never leaked anything when he did, and like I said,
(20:08):
most of my favorite lawyer pundit people that lean right say,
this isn't going to go anywhere. Comy's a dick and
a liar and a phony and all and probably should
have gone to jail for all kinds of stuff, but
didn't for a variety of reasons. This is explained by
their analyst, Keith Jarrett on Fox the trail of all
(20:30):
the different things and him called me testifying under oath.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
The grand jury actually considered but rejected, a third charge
involving he yet another suspected lie by Comy. You know,
when he was asked by Lindsey Graham about, you know,
the notorious plan approved by Hillary in twenty sixteen to
accuse Trump falsely, including with Russia, you know, in his
answer he claimed amnesia. He said, Gee, that doesn't ring
(20:55):
a bell with me, and that's absurd. Of course, he
members it vividly. He not only received personally a top
secret report on it from the CIA, then he attended
this urgent meeting in the White House with Obama and
Biden and Brennan in which the CIA director was apoplectic
revealing Hillary's illicit scheme.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Gee, what do we do well.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
They ended up concealing it, so of course he remembers it.
You know, his answers often were evasive. During one congressional session,
he said, I don't recall, I don't remember more than
two hundred times.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It's scrupulous people do that to avoid perjurying themselves. But
apparently he wasn't cautious enough.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
He said, I don't recall, I don't remember two hundred times,
right right, Yeah, And that's one of the reasons it's
going to be tough to nail on. My daughter, who's
in law school, is on the mock trial team of
her law school. Very auspicious, very proud of her. But
they practice over and over again, you know, not only
(22:00):
as attorneys, but as witnesses. And can you imagine somebody
so completely versed in what can I say and get
away with? How can I have a lawyerly answer that
skirts the law. James Comy is one of the all
time heavyweights in that art. He knows exactly what he
can say and how to say it. So it's tough,
(22:21):
tough sledding. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
As I read earlier in the show, Mark Halpern, who
works really hard to be nonpartisan said in his newsletter today,
He's amazed that Comy is still held up by the
mainstream media. Is some paragon is something since he's a
complete phonyan liar. That's because and that's because James Comy
is a complete phony and liar. Here's some of the
other stuff from Lindsey Graham, Senator South Carolina.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
If an FBI director can mislead the court to get
a warrant against American citizen to further a political conspiracy
to destroy somebody you don't like, we're in a world
of hurt. Here's the question for the legal system today.
Is there compelling evidence that CALLI withheld from the court
pertinent information about the warrant application.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
How can you say he didn't The FBI.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Knew three different times it was all internet rumor and
never told the court.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Why did they do that?
Speaker 9 (23:17):
They wanted the investigation to continue during the Trump presidency.
I believe this with all my heart, to destroy Donald Trump.
If people get away with this, lying to a court,
manipulating court, withholding exculpatory information to a court of law
to get a warrant against American citizen for political purposes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The rule of law has died.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, that's all horrible, and he's completely right. But from
what I understand from what I read from Andrew McCarthy
and other people, the statute of limitations has run out
on all the stuff Lindsey Graham was just talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He's not being charged with those specific things. Yeah, you know,
I agree that the weaponization of the Justice Department law
fair from the White House is awful, awfuling, worse and
worth both sides have done it. I don't like this
action by Trump. On the other hand, all the Democrats
who were acting like this is just an unforgivable horror
(24:09):
of injustice. I remember vividly, Jack, when you were reading,
I think for the first time, one of the Tailor
Branch books about the civil rights movement, and you pointed
out that the myth that Rosa Parks was like the
first person ever say no, I'm not moving to the
back of the bus. No, they were just the civil
(24:29):
rights folks were just waiting for the perfect case, a
woman so spotless of character and reputation and goodness, no record,
blah blah blah, that she was a very very sympathetic defendant.
Is that more or less accurate? Right? And so Coomy's
the anti Rosa Parks. He's guilty of all of this stuff.
He's a lion, power abusing, selfish, ego, maniacal justice, manipulating,
(24:56):
false testifying PISA application, faking bad human being. Doesn't mean
this is necessarily a great thing to have The president
fire people till he can find somebody, will prosecute somebody
for something. He'll never get a conviction for. My heart
is broken. His heart's broken, Joe, you'll get are paying
any attention. The man's will get broken. They got surgery
(25:18):
for that now anyway. But I'm not afraid. Well good,
oh my god, you're so brave. You are so brave.
We like him. Keep all those may I form a
religion around you a place that would be fine. We
will not live on our knees. There you go.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We got to keep those clips around because this is
going to be in the news for quite a while.
We should play longer versions. I suppose of his Instagram
rebuttal last night that he released just because it's so
flipping good. Start with the first one and let's just
roll a Michael.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
My family and I have known for years that there
are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we
couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not
live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
God, I'm good. I'm bitfooted right now.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Thank you for giving me the courage to get up
off my knees, which I wasn't on he goes on.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is
the tool of a tyrant.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And she's right. But I'm not afraid. Ooh, and I
hope you're not either.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Nope, I hope instead you are engaged, You are paying attention,
and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it,
which it does.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I wish I remember who it was that said in
James Comy's mind, he's the hero of every story, and
he is.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah. I think he said he is the hero of
every story he tells. Yeah, he is too.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Look, I mean this whole thing is not just him,
you know, fighting back against possible jail time. He's doing
it for you. He's gonna help you get up off
your knees and not live in fear. Okay, keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I will do and vote as if your country depends
on it. What like in the midterms, to do what
exactly on what policy? Is there another peach Trump for this?
Does the lanky lawman have more?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, But
I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. I'm innocent.
So let's have a trial and keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's the one that's the most annoying.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Your heart is broken for the FBI, your beloved FBI.
After all the things you did, like that that Lindsay
Graham just laid out, and those are known. It's not
just like Lindsey Graham right wing Fox stuff. Those are
known things. You you briefed the president on the Steele
dossier then leaked to the newspapers.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The president has been briefed on this story.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Knowing it was crap, just so it could get out
into the into the world, into the the news.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Stream with the patina of credibility.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yeah, faking up PISA warrants so you could spy on
various people. You weep for the FB, your beloved FB.
I give me a break from you lie in phony.
So let's have a trial. Let's have a trial. I agree. Unfortunately,
he's probably gonna be it's never going to go to trial,
and if it does.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He'll be acquitted. My heart is broken. Oh shut up,
shutting up boy. So Uh, James Comy probably also guilty
of breaking and entering I suspect. Uh. And if only
the victim had simply Safe home security, they wouldn't have
had James Comy inside their house when the alarms went off.
This is all parody and for the purposes of entertainment,
(28:47):
but the point, the point is absolutely true. Uh. Simply
Safe uses a I powered cameras to identify threats lurking
outside your home that immediately alert simply Safe professional monitoring agents,
who then can intervene in real time before the break
in even begins, and they access two A audio to
(29:07):
confront the person. Call them all sorts of nasty names.
I hope trigger sirens, spotlights, Call the cops again before
your windows get smashed. How do you like that?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Simply Safe could catch James Comy lurking in your backyard
before he breaks into plant evidence in your home.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That's say, stretch backd f up, Huh what are you
doing here? So That's what I'd say if I was
a Simply Safe operator or monitoring agent.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Sixty day money back guarantee, no long term contracts, that's
why you want to use simply safe.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You got a night stick in coming there, tall boy.
All right, run for your life's see. That's what I
would say. Visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong to
claim fifty percent off a new system. Simply safe does
not endorse any of the stuff I just said. Simply
safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
My final word on the topic for today would be
for the umpteenth time, So if the people on MSNBC
would come on and say, we should have never gone
after the Justice Department under Biden shouldn't have gone after
Trump in all of those cases outside of the documents
one probably it was it was it was lawfair. It
was an attempt to either jail him or bog him
(30:16):
down in legal matters so he couldn't run. We should
have never done this and Trump shouldn't be doing it.
But unless you say that, spare me with your hysteria.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah again, tears trickling down your facing. I can't believe
they're engaging in law fair for political purposes. I mean
I can't. I can't even laugh. Your hypocrisy is so
astounding and bold faced and unhidden. It's just crazy. That
doesn't make all of this right. But please, my God,
(30:48):
where does this end? How does it end? My heart
is broken, Your heart's broken.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I was up late last night shopping for a bathroom vanity,
and I wake up to find out that tariffs have
been put on those two. We have new tariff news
for you, among other things on the way.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Stay here and keep the faith. That's what they wanted
to do, is take us backwards. Democracy. You got to
protect it, and you got to go and fight for it.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
The ad work could top two hundred million. Billionaire Charles
Munger Junior thirty million helped pay for this ad with
former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Democrats top donor is George Sorows
his twenty million pay for this AOC.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Ad fight for democracy in all fifty faith.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Oh that reminds me. Yesterday Trump said George Soros should
go to jail, so he might be next, oh boy,
in some sort of anyway. M Prop fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Oh yeah, that's all about financing groups that engage in
political islands. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Prop fifty In California in November, we're going to vote
on whether or not we want to redistrict the way
Texas did. I think you know that whole story. Here's
something Joe might not know because he abandoned the show
during a tumultuous week last week and played golf.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Anyway, if you had a presidential Medal of Freedom, it
should be taken away from you because of all. But
we had Lanhi chen on and I was talking to
Lonnie about how the polling shows Californians ain't digging this
and now it's like two thirds of Californians against it,
and he said, and I'll bet he's right. He said,
(32:28):
they will by the time voting gets here, turning into
are you with Trump or not? And it'll just be
a vote about that. It won't have anything to do
about redistricting. It'll be like masks, it'll be like vaccines,
it'll be like the border, it'll be like school closes,
it'll be like everything. It's just are you with Trump
or not? Oh, so you're for Trump? And if they
can turn it into that, then you got a decent
chance of passing it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Plus the turnout will be tiny, yeah, And all of
the state employee unions and those who benefit from the
government's large s will turn out to support Gavy boy.
Average citizens who have like real job and things to
accomplish in their lives. They won't laugh. I laughed.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
What's so long and short of the latest tariff thing
that got announced overnight?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Trump announced a bunch of tariffs on pharmaceuticals and like
semi trucks and furniture of various.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Sorts, including kitchen vanities, I mean, bathroom vanities. Maybe I'll
put my vanity in the kitchen, brush my.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Wash your hands in a bucket, put a bucket next
to the toilet with some soap.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Semi trucks, kitchen cabinets, furniture including kitchen vanities. I don't
know why they say that all the time. Did that
many people go out and buy international kitchen vanities? I mean,
is it a major purchase, regular purchase more than once
in your life?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I don't know. I don't I don't really know. There
are a bunch of carve outs and different tariffs on
different places and so complicated, and it's you know, there
are a range of industries that range from it's incredibly
(34:08):
important that we on shore manufacturing again, We've talked about
this many times. And there's other stuff like what the hell,
does it matter where you buy it. If I can
get a better deal on a high quality product, then
let me import it. I want. I'm like the character
in the street car named Desire. What's her name?
Speaker 4 (34:24):
The not his wife, the sister, Blanche Blanche. I'm like,
keep the light low, you know, I'm I'm in the
winter of my life. I keep the light low, aging
beauty sort of thing. I like low light in the
in the bathroom. I want to I want to feel good,
soft soft light, soft focus, kind.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Of at a distance.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Maybe slimming mirror, kind of like you get a funhouse mare,
like they have a nice hotels.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Nice hotels have slimming mirrors.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Did you know that with the theory, I think it's
dumb that you'll feel better about yourself and somehow remember
a positive feeling and want to go back to that hotel.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I don't know, but I have to buy it. I
absolutely buy it.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I have stayed in nice hotels where clearly they were
doing that, like cool, That's what I wanted in my back.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And when you walk by the maids in the hallway,
they're trained to say, mister clooney, oh I'm sorry, I
thought you're George Clooney, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
I want the lights so dim in my bathroom I
can barely shave.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And to feel your way exactly looking good.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Looking good, fantastic. Ah Man, I'm so tired of the news.
I'm just just tired of it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
It blows. I know what you mean, it blows, Yes, sir,
that's some frank talk, mister president. But yeah, there are days, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Can I bore you once again with talking about James
Joyce's Ulysses, which I'm still reading.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I think you want. I think I've come to figure
out why. I think it's so absolutely amazing in one
of the great works of art. It's if you don't
know this very brief version, it's just it's one day
in Dublin, and it follows three characters, and it's basically
what happens to three people in and not particularly unique day,
just a regular day. And the point of the art
(36:05):
is that that's that's what life is for all of us.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Really, it's just the day to day life, and that's
where the story lies for all of our lives, just
day to day activity.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Not the mountaintop moments sadly.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Or being a general who wins a war, or anything.
I mean, that does happen for some people, but.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Not most of us. Most of us, it's just getting
up and going.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
To work, and you know, you have an argument with
your wife, and you stop by the bar and talk
with your friends, and you look at that girl over
there and thinks she's kind of hot, but she wouldn't
have you, And just just a regular, regular things that
people think all the time. That's what life is for
almost all of us, and it portrays it better than
anything ever has.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
But I can still try to become a puffy lipped influencer, right,
Sure of course you can if you want. Okay, I
don't know if that was worth going to dream lots
of followers.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I don't know if that would work on you with your goatee,
big puffy lips sticking out of your goatee.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
By the way, gals, no to the puffy lips. No,
I agree. Man.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
There was a person last night at the party. Did
you see that Michael went into her lips?
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Giant wow, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Arm Strong and Getty enough Key, I'm strong.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The US scrambling fighter jets to intercept for Russian warplanes
near Alaska. The Russian jets never entered US airspace, but
are another sign President Putin is testing NATO in Denmark's
night sky drones that witnesses say hovered over an airport
and a military base Denmark, calling them hybrid attacks by
(00:44):
a professional actor.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The Russian embassy.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Denying involvement, calling it staged and a provocation. More escalating rhetoric,
Russia's foreign minister saying NATO and Europe have declared war
on Russia through Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Man, it's one thing to be messing with Poland and
Finland and whoever the house Denmark. But I can't believe
Putin's buzzin r airspace.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Wow, what does he hope for? What is his pride plan?
Do not know?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
I'm troubling. Here's a text we got though. This is
an interesting one, just out of nowhere on the text line.
Our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Here's the text we got, are you still in the
market for an artificial Christmas tree? I have a nine
foot pre lit tree that's been used twice, but it's
too big for my new house. Let me know if
you want it.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Be a hell of a bargain. Now did they mean
to text us, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I don't recall which were in the market for a
nine foot pre lit Christmas tree?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't remember talking about that in the month of September.
It's going to be one hundred degrees here today, right, yeah,
and said, we're doing tradio in the fourth hour, Oh,
tradio in the fourth hour, next hour during during the
fourth hour, snow tires, we're going to be talking about
one of the American tech giants warning us about the
(02:10):
anti Christ and how AI relates to that the old
ac right. Kind of an intriguing notion. Plus, you know,
I just remembered I asked Hanson for this. It is.
It's a libs of TikTok style piece of audio in
(02:32):
which the left says what they think and we all say,
holy crap, you people are crazy. Except this took place
at the UN. This is testimony at the UN by
the COVID cult. Oh, switch for that yesterday. I think
they're talking about COVID this week at the UN. Yeah, why,
(02:56):
I don't know. You want to play it was debating society.
What are you talking about, Michael fourteen? No, that's what
I'm saying that we'll get to that at some point.
But yeah, we will indeed get to that one. Michael
highly intrigued. Okay, So anyway, a couple of things really
quickly on the always do you need the nine Christmas
tree or not? I got to remeasure my ceilings. Remember
(03:22):
the one year I got the twenty foot tree? That
was something. I had a twenty foot Christmas tree one year,
just once because there's a lot of work. Oh, I
can't imagineficial. So I had to just blast it right
on through the scene. What no real, A real twenty
foot tree? A way to rape Mother Earth for your
temporary holiday with celebrations. What nice job I'm gonna bring
(03:46):
you before the UN. You monster. So anyway, the always
sexy topic of government budgeting, we around here do not
pay attention to the government.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Shutdown stuff shut down, we gotta cut down, locked down.
Here in the corner, you see the countdown to the shutdown. No,
I don't unplug it, ki't it break it.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Somebody hit it with a hammer, because it's always just
the inside the Beltway crap. Has nothing to do with
real Americans in their lives, their hopes and dreams and
their children and the rest of it. It's just it's
the two phony parties just maneuvering for more power. Right.
But this one I find at least a little bit
interesting because the Democrats for some reason, think it would
(04:26):
be good to have a government shut down, because they
say they won't do a stopgap funding measure to keep
the government running unless they're given four hundred and fifty
billion dollars in additional Obamacare money, an end to some
other holes on spending, and a reversal of the Medicaid
reform in the GOP's big beautiful bill. In other words,
(04:48):
is the fabulous Kim Strassel rights in the Wall Street Journal.
Democrats will give the Trump team exactly what it's been wanting,
a shutdown, in return for Democrats continuing demand something they
will never get. What a deal.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
And the point is, I say, you throw in banning
the tush push and you got a deal.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wow. So Russ voute vote, who's the vaught? The director
of the Office of Management Budget said, all right, if
you shut down the government and these departments are not funded,
we're going to fire everybody. We're going to end them,
and we will achieve the giant cuts that we've been
trying to make through executive orders or legislation or whatever.
(05:27):
You shut it down, all those folks are fired. That's
quite a play. Yeah, yeah, And Kim explains how it
would it be done and how it would work. Didn't
think about that, did you? Now? For small government advocates,
the beauty of this is its reset potential. When government reopens,
the Trump team will hire back the fewest possible statutorily
required employees at programs it already wanted to cut. For
(05:50):
a starter list, see the more than forty five. Trump's
recent budget asked Congress to eliminate including Economic Development Administration
blah blah blah, and the Education Department. So go ahead, Chuck,
go ahead, hockeen. Sounds great, fantastic. In case you didn't
hear it, this was what day was this? This was
yesterday front page. There's a picture of an elk on
(06:10):
the front page of the USA Today and.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Their story was staff cuts at national Parks had little
apparent impact. I'm surprised the USA Today ran that story,
but they went through the here are things people said
would happen when you fire all these people at the
national Parks. Everything was fine, right, good, right, I'll bet
that could happen with lots of departments. So when you're
financing a charity, for instance, maybe you go to Charity
(06:34):
Navigator you're thinking of giving to some fine cause, and
they will rate you on how much of your budget
actually goes to the programs and how much is overhead
and advertising that sort of thing, and you know you're
looking for high eighties at least.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, that's my advice. Anyway, your results make very But
the the what was the Blanket Agency? The USAID folks
that did a lot of global medical programs around the world,
which sound good like AIDS in HIV prevention. It's a
(07:15):
nice program. It's you know, the United States spreading some goodwill,
saving some human lives. How much good does it do
US A's debatable, as I'm actually pro foreign assistance, not
out of some pie in the sky, you know, Dreamer philosophy.
It's because there are three ways to have friends internationally.
(07:36):
One you just have obviously aligned priorities your country. A.
You live next to country. B you both are constantly
threatened by country. C. You're going to be friends. That's
easy to be the one that buys the beer to
you bribe them exactly. You bribe people to be your friends.
It's always been true, always will be true. A lot
of foreign age aid is bribery to keep them on
(07:56):
our side, and that's not wasted money, it's well spent.
The third way, you threaten to beat them up if
they don't be your friend. Those are the only three
ways to have friends internationally. So I'm pro smart fourn
a anyway, But listen to this with you. Of the
one hundred and ten billion dollars US taxpayers have poured
into global HIV age prevention since two thousand and three,
(08:18):
one hundred and ten billion dollars, just forty percent of
it went toward on the ground deliveries of life saving
medical supplies, tests, blah blah blah. The rest of it
is salaries and management and overhead and oh oh, and
paying for programs like a transgender Day of Remembrance and
a decolonizing development series et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, so
(08:42):
you know, you can be in favor of a thing
the government does, but be aware that they do it
horribly and wastefully and just line everybody's pockets with it.
That's the problem with big government. Who got fired for
only applying forty percent of that one hundred and ten
billion dollars toward actional on the ground helping people who
name the names nobody, of course nobody, because there's no
(09:04):
freaking accountability in government. That's why you got to join
us in, you know, squeezing the government as hard as
you can. Okay, I promise something entertaining. Celebrity cult alert.
This is nineteen year old Violet Affleck as in Ben
and Jennifer Garner, their daughter and Affleck and their daughter
(09:27):
who goes to Yale because of course she does.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah she, I'm sure shared her way in and just
it's funny how movie stars and politicians their kids are
always so smart they get into those best colleges.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and often they have a
brief rowing career as well. In a funny coincidence anyway,
So here she is testifying as a youth ambassador in
front of the un about the danger of long COVID
toward children and how we have to bring back mandatory
(09:59):
man now now she is testifying in a mask.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Here's what we know about sar Kobe too. It is airborne,
floating and lingering in the air. One infection can result
in disabling damage to almost every cell in the body,
from the brain and heart to the nerves and blood vessels.
Every subsequent infection increases the risk of long COVID and
places people.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Who already have it in greater danger.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Here's what we don't know is what it does to
reinfect children over and over and over again with no
end point in sight, from the day they are born.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We are about to find out.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
As doctor Akiko Ywasaki says, at this point, the whole
population is the control group, and after only five years,
long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic
illness in children five years. I am terrified for the
children who do not or soon will not know a
world without.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Ability to her the whole I'm obsessed with COVID cult.
I mean, if you're scientists, you study respiratory diseases, and
you're studying it good, you should it's interesting. It's weird disease.
I tell you what. If you want a really novel coronavirus,
go to doctor Fauci's Wuhan House of bat Viruses because man,
(11:16):
they'll design yah humdinger. But you people who are still
wearing masks in airports still like what I had an article.
I wish i'd kept it. All three of the West
Coast states, the infamous bluest states in America, California, Oregon,
and Washington are all still pushing COVID shots for children constantly. Wow,
(11:46):
that was interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So is there any truth any of that about the
current version of COVID that's flowing round That.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
COVID is now the most kid is more common than asthma.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I don't think it's given lots of long COVID. I
haven't heard that story at all. And I live in
the because.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
They're affected over and over and over again.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
What I live in this sort of town where if
it was happening, I would think I would have heard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
About it, right right, Yeah, yeah, craziness.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I know some kids with asthma. I haven't heard anybody
saying my kid has long COVID.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Not one person, No, I know one adult who claims
to have had long COVID. It might have been something else,
as it turns out. But anyway, Uh, did you say
Prize Picks Michael? Oh, I couldn't be more revved up
about Prize Picks so much fun. I loves the football,
you know, me watching last night oh so exciting. And
Prize Picks is the easiest way to get in on
fantasy sports action. You don't have to like go to
(12:38):
a draft and build a team and do trades and stuff.
It becomes a second job. No, With a Prize Picks,
you just pick two to six player stat projections and say,
I think it's going to be more or less. That's it.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I think that's one of the reasons Prize Picks is
so popular is you can dip in and out of
it and it's not you know, like you said, have
to take on a second job and.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Monitor her every week and every that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
So you download the Prize Picks app today and use
the code Armstrong, and you get fifty dollars in lineups
after you play your first five dollars. They just want
you to play that first five dollars. Then you get
fifty dollars fifty dollars in lineups. Just use the code Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
And this week there's a special max discount for motion
live on the board right now, Jalen Hurts has been
discounted to only needing to go for one passing yard
during Eagles v. Buccaneers on Sunday. Just add one more
play to your lineup and if your player hits, you
can cash in prize picks. Use that code Armstrong, download
the Prize Picks app, get the fifty dollars in lineups
(13:33):
after you play your first five dollars lineup. It's automatic.
You don't have to win prize picks. It's good to
be right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So Diet cokech bringing back a beloved flavor that had
gone away.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Tell you about that.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
We got to touch on the James Coley story, which
is either the biggest thing in the world or not.
And did Donald Trump and Millenia have an argument the
other day? Lip readers way in, we'll have that for you.

away in its back. So there you go. Good for you,
all right, super super is right?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Trump and Melania's finger waving spat what wasn't so? Apparently
the other day, after they left the un they got
on the helicopter. People could see through the window. Trump
was wagging his finger at Milania as she was shaking
her head, and there was speculation that this was some
sort of Macrone and his wife sort of fight. Remembered
that from a couple of months ago. Where did she
(15:19):
shove him in the face or whatever happened there. Back
off loser right anyway, So according to forensic lip readers,
this was not a fight. Donald Trump was angry about
the escalator having stopped, and he said to Mlania something like,
(15:46):
they tried. I can't forgive them. They tried to hurt you,
and we can't do this. We should stay safe. You're
not safe. And then she said something back to him
that was calmed down or something like that.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
He said that they could have.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
He said, it's amazing that Malanney and I didn't fall
forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps face first.
He later posted, it was only that we were holding
on the handrail tightly, or it would have been a disaster.
I don't know that. I always grabbed the handrail the
second I step on an escalator. Of course, I'm not
eighty years old either. It would be a lot easier
for an eighty year old to go down hard on
an escalator. She's wearing ridiculously high heels. I don't even
(16:25):
know how she walks in.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Those those shoes. Practice. Yeah, and again, I could believe
this story that the White House videographer accidentally pressed the
emergency stop button while jostling from position in isolation. I
could believe that. But also with the teleprompter and what
was the PA speakers went out and.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Come on and again, Like I said the other day,
would it be the least bit shocking that somebody involved
in the UN wanted to mess with Trump and do that.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
No, it's not even a tiny bit shocking. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
So yeah, I think the fact the elevator, escalator and
the teleprompter, Yeah, somebody was just you know, it's to
no effect, but it just shows you Trump derangement syndrome.
It's really the spitting in the hamburger of the diplomatic set.
So James call Mey being indicted and threatened with jail
(17:22):
time former FBI director. All media other than Fox is
considering this the worst thing, maybe the worst thing Trump
has ever done, and a real sign that our democracy
is over and we should all be afraid. Fox is
not treating it that way. Not surprisingly, we can delve
into that a little bit when we come back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So the headline is Democrats rail against lawfair Okay, right,
I would like to discuss.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
This, pointing out that most of my conservative pundits that
I really like are saying this isn't going to go anywhere.
But that's not because James Comy isn't a jerk and
a liar and a phony. But it's just in this
particular case, it's not going to go anywhere. But anyway,
we'll bring you up to speed on all that coming
up in just a moment. If you missed a segment,
get the podcast Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
On demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
So this is breaking news. Trump just said this a
few minutes ago, looking.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Like we have a deal on Gaza.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, we'll let you know. I think it's a deal
that we'll get the hostages back. It's going to be
a deal that will end the war. It's gotta be
a deal which it's gonna be a peace. I think
we have a deal that'll be number eight Beeter.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
That's the sort of thing Trumps throws out before he
gets on a helicopter. I think we got a deal
in Gaza. War will be over and we'll get the
hostages back. Anyway, talk to you later, a good weekend. Okay,
no details, no, no, don't don't have any idea. Yahoo
spoke with you n day to day. He didn't sound
like there was any any any deal happening.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But if I had to guess, the scumbag Hamas leaders
are saying, wait, what So this is the forty third
supposed political earthquake around Donald Trump? According to the mainstream media,
it might actually be. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I don't know, but so James Comby for me FBI
former FBI director got indicted yesterday by the Trump Justice
Department at Trump's behest. I mean, it's that's not even
the sources close say no. He said out loud, Hey,
Pam BONDI, what are you gonna indicet? James Coby said
that the other day, time's right out.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He fired the guy in the gig, the Eastern Virginia
prosecutor gig, who wouldn't do it, and appointed one of
his own people who would do it, who happened to
be a really hot looking woman.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Anyway, that's irrelevant. So yeah, it was clearly a tost.
It's not irrelevant to Trump. I know that she's a
hot looking woman because all his lawyers tend to be
look like they are models, like his wife. So what's
Comey being accused of lying under oath claiming that he
never leaked anything when he did, and like I said,
(20:08):
most of my favorite lawyer pundit people that lean right say,
this isn't going to go anywhere. Comy's a dick and
a liar and a phony and all and probably should
have gone to jail for all kinds of stuff, but
didn't for a variety of reasons. This is explained by
their analyst, Keith Jarrett on Fox the trail of all
(20:30):
the different things and him called me testifying under oath.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
The grand jury actually considered but rejected, a third charge
involving he yet another suspected lie by Comy. You know,
when he was asked by Lindsey Graham about, you know,
the notorious plan approved by Hillary in twenty sixteen to
accuse Trump falsely, including with Russia, you know, in his
answer he claimed amnesia. He said, Gee, that doesn't ring
(20:55):
a bell with me, and that's absurd. Of course, he
members it vividly. He not only received personally a top
secret report on it from the CIA, then he attended
this urgent meeting in the White House with Obama and
Biden and Brennan in which the CIA director was apoplectic
revealing Hillary's illicit scheme.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Gee, what do we do well.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
They ended up concealing it, so of course he remembers it.
You know, his answers often were evasive. During one congressional session,
he said, I don't recall, I don't remember more than
two hundred times.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It's scrupulous people do that to avoid perjurying themselves. But
apparently he wasn't cautious enough.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
He said, I don't recall, I don't remember two hundred times,
right right, Yeah, And that's one of the reasons it's
going to be tough to nail on. My daughter, who's
in law school, is on the mock trial team of
her law school. Very auspicious, very proud of her. But
they practice over and over again, you know, not only
(22:00):
as attorneys, but as witnesses. And can you imagine somebody
so completely versed in what can I say and get
away with? How can I have a lawyerly answer that
skirts the law. James Comy is one of the all
time heavyweights in that art. He knows exactly what he
can say and how to say it. So it's tough,
(22:21):
tough sledding. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
As I read earlier in the show, Mark Halpern, who
works really hard to be nonpartisan said in his newsletter today,
He's amazed that Comy is still held up by the
mainstream media. Is some paragon is something since he's a
complete phonyan liar. That's because and that's because James Comy
is a complete phony and liar. Here's some of the
other stuff from Lindsey Graham, Senator South Carolina.
Speaker 9 (22:46):
If an FBI director can mislead the court to get
a warrant against American citizen to further a political conspiracy
to destroy somebody you don't like, we're in a world
of hurt. Here's the question for the legal system today.
Is there compelling evidence that CALLI withheld from the court
pertinent information about the warrant application.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
How can you say he didn't The FBI.
Speaker 9 (23:11):
Knew three different times it was all internet rumor and
never told the court.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Why did they do that?
Speaker 9 (23:17):
They wanted the investigation to continue during the Trump presidency.
I believe this with all my heart, to destroy Donald Trump.
If people get away with this, lying to a court,
manipulating court, withholding exculpatory information to a court of law
to get a warrant against American citizen for political purposes.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The rule of law has died.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, that's all horrible, and he's completely right. But from
what I understand from what I read from Andrew McCarthy
and other people, the statute of limitations has run out
on all the stuff Lindsey Graham was just talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He's not being charged with those specific things. Yeah, you know,
I agree that the weaponization of the Justice Department law
fair from the White House is awful, awfuling, worse and
worth both sides have done it. I don't like this
action by Trump. On the other hand, all the Democrats
who were acting like this is just an unforgivable horror
(24:09):
of injustice. I remember vividly, Jack, when you were reading,
I think for the first time, one of the Tailor
Branch books about the civil rights movement, and you pointed
out that the myth that Rosa Parks was like the
first person ever say no, I'm not moving to the
back of the bus. No, they were just the civil
(24:29):
rights folks were just waiting for the perfect case, a
woman so spotless of character and reputation and goodness, no record,
blah blah blah, that she was a very very sympathetic defendant.
Is that more or less accurate? Right? And so Coomy's
the anti Rosa Parks. He's guilty of all of this stuff.
He's a lion, power abusing, selfish, ego, maniacal justice, manipulating,
(24:56):
false testifying PISA application, faking bad human being. Doesn't mean
this is necessarily a great thing to have The president
fire people till he can find somebody, will prosecute somebody
for something. He'll never get a conviction for. My heart
is broken. His heart's broken, Joe, you'll get are paying
any attention. The man's will get broken. They got surgery
(25:18):
for that now anyway. But I'm not afraid. Well good,
oh my god, you're so brave. You are so brave.
We like him. Keep all those may I form a
religion around you a place that would be fine. We
will not live on our knees. There you go.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We got to keep those clips around because this is
going to be in the news for quite a while.
We should play longer versions. I suppose of his Instagram
rebuttal last night that he released just because it's so
flipping good. Start with the first one and let's just
roll a Michael.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
My family and I have known for years that there
are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we
couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not
live on our knees, and you shouldn't either.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
God, I'm good. I'm bitfooted right now.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Thank you for giving me the courage to get up
off my knees, which I wasn't on he goes on.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is
the tool of a tyrant.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And she's right. But I'm not afraid. Ooh, and I
hope you're not either.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Nope, I hope instead you are engaged, You are paying attention,
and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it,
which it does.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I wish I remember who it was that said in
James Comy's mind, he's the hero of every story, and
he is.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah. I think he said he is the hero of
every story he tells. Yeah, he is too.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Look, I mean this whole thing is not just him,
you know, fighting back against possible jail time. He's doing
it for you. He's gonna help you get up off
your knees and not live in fear. Okay, keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I will do and vote as if your country depends
on it. What like in the midterms, to do what
exactly on what policy? Is there another peach Trump for this?
Does the lanky lawman have more?
Speaker 6 (27:19):
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, But
I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. I'm innocent.
So let's have a trial and keep the faith.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's the one that's the most annoying.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Your heart is broken for the FBI, your beloved FBI.
After all the things you did, like that that Lindsay
Graham just laid out, and those are known. It's not
just like Lindsey Graham right wing Fox stuff. Those are
known things. You you briefed the president on the Steele
dossier then leaked to the newspapers.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The president has been briefed on this story.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Knowing it was crap, just so it could get out
into the into the world, into the the news.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Stream with the patina of credibility.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yeah, faking up PISA warrants so you could spy on
various people. You weep for the FB, your beloved FB.
I give me a break from you lie in phony.
So let's have a trial. Let's have a trial. I agree. Unfortunately,
he's probably gonna be it's never going to go to trial,
and if it does.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
He'll be acquitted. My heart is broken. Oh shut up,
shutting up boy. So Uh, James Comy probably also guilty
of breaking and entering I suspect. Uh. And if only
the victim had simply Safe home security, they wouldn't have
had James Comy inside their house when the alarms went off.
This is all parody and for the purposes of entertainment,
(28:47):
but the point, the point is absolutely true. Uh. Simply
Safe uses a I powered cameras to identify threats lurking
outside your home that immediately alert simply Safe professional monitoring agents,
who then can intervene in real time before the break
in even begins, and they access two A audio to
(29:07):
confront the person. Call them all sorts of nasty names.
I hope trigger sirens, spotlights, Call the cops again before
your windows get smashed. How do you like that?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Simply Safe could catch James Comy lurking in your backyard
before he breaks into plant evidence in your home.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That's say, stretch backd f up, Huh what are you
doing here? So That's what I'd say if I was
a Simply Safe operator or monitoring agent.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Sixty day money back guarantee, no long term contracts, that's
why you want to use simply safe.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You got a night stick in coming there, tall boy.
All right, run for your life's see. That's what I
would say. Visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong to
claim fifty percent off a new system. Simply safe does
not endorse any of the stuff I just said. Simply
safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply safe.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
My final word on the topic for today would be
for the umpteenth time, So if the people on MSNBC
would come on and say, we should have never gone
after the Justice Department under Biden shouldn't have gone after
Trump in all of those cases outside of the documents
one probably it was it was it was lawfair. It
was an attempt to either jail him or bog him
(30:16):
down in legal matters so he couldn't run. We should
have never done this and Trump shouldn't be doing it.
But unless you say that, spare me with your hysteria.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah again, tears trickling down your facing. I can't believe
they're engaging in law fair for political purposes. I mean
I can't. I can't even laugh. Your hypocrisy is so
astounding and bold faced and unhidden. It's just crazy. That
doesn't make all of this right. But please, my God,
(30:48):
where does this end? How does it end? My heart
is broken, Your heart's broken.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
I was up late last night shopping for a bathroom vanity,
and I wake up to find out that tariffs have
been put on those two. We have new tariff news
for you, among other things on the way.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Stay here and keep the faith. That's what they wanted
to do, is take us backwards. Democracy. You got to
protect it, and you got to go and fight for it.
Speaker 7 (31:16):
The ad work could top two hundred million. Billionaire Charles
Munger Junior thirty million helped pay for this ad with
former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Democrats top donor is George Sorows
his twenty million pay for this AOC.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Ad fight for democracy in all fifty faith.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Oh that reminds me. Yesterday Trump said George Soros should
go to jail, so he might be next, oh boy,
in some sort of anyway. M Prop fifty.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Oh yeah, that's all about financing groups that engage in
political islands. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Prop fifty In California in November, we're going to vote
on whether or not we want to redistrict the way
Texas did. I think you know that whole story. Here's
something Joe might not know because he abandoned the show
during a tumultuous week last week and played golf.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Anyway, if you had a presidential Medal of Freedom, it
should be taken away from you because of all. But
we had Lanhi chen on and I was talking to
Lonnie about how the polling shows Californians ain't digging this
and now it's like two thirds of Californians against it,
and he said, and I'll bet he's right. He said,
(32:28):
they will by the time voting gets here, turning into
are you with Trump or not? And it'll just be
a vote about that. It won't have anything to do
about redistricting. It'll be like masks, it'll be like vaccines,
it'll be like the border, it'll be like school closes,
it'll be like everything. It's just are you with Trump
or not? Oh, so you're for Trump? And if they
can turn it into that, then you got a decent
chance of passing it.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Plus the turnout will be tiny, yeah, And all of
the state employee unions and those who benefit from the
government's large s will turn out to support Gavy boy.
Average citizens who have like real job and things to
accomplish in their lives. They won't laugh. I laughed.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
What's so long and short of the latest tariff thing
that got announced overnight?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Trump announced a bunch of tariffs on pharmaceuticals and like
semi trucks and furniture of various.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Sorts, including kitchen vanities, I mean, bathroom vanities. Maybe I'll
put my vanity in the kitchen, brush my.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Wash your hands in a bucket, put a bucket next
to the toilet with some soap.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Semi trucks, kitchen cabinets, furniture including kitchen vanities. I don't
know why they say that all the time. Did that
many people go out and buy international kitchen vanities? I mean,
is it a major purchase, regular purchase more than once
in your life?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I don't know. I don't I don't really know. There
are a bunch of carve outs and different tariffs on
different places and so complicated, and it's you know, there
are a range of industries that range from it's incredibly
(34:08):
important that we on shore manufacturing again, We've talked about
this many times. And there's other stuff like what the hell,
does it matter where you buy it. If I can
get a better deal on a high quality product, then
let me import it. I want. I'm like the character
in the street car named Desire. What's her name?
Speaker 4 (34:24):
The not his wife, the sister, Blanche Blanche. I'm like,
keep the light low, you know, I'm I'm in the
winter of my life. I keep the light low, aging
beauty sort of thing. I like low light in the
in the bathroom. I want to I want to feel good,
soft soft light, soft focus, kind.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Of at a distance.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Maybe slimming mirror, kind of like you get a funhouse mare,
like they have a nice hotels.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Nice hotels have slimming mirrors.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Did you know that with the theory, I think it's
dumb that you'll feel better about yourself and somehow remember
a positive feeling and want to go back to that hotel.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I don't know, but I have to buy it. I
absolutely buy it.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I have stayed in nice hotels where clearly they were
doing that, like cool, That's what I wanted in my back.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
And when you walk by the maids in the hallway,
they're trained to say, mister clooney, oh I'm sorry, I
thought you're George Clooney, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
I want the lights so dim in my bathroom I
can barely shave.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And to feel your way exactly looking good.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Looking good, fantastic. Ah Man, I'm so tired of the news.
I'm just just tired of it.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
It blows. I know what you mean, it blows, Yes, sir,
that's some frank talk, mister president. But yeah, there are days, yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Can I bore you once again with talking about James
Joyce's Ulysses, which I'm still reading.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I think you want. I think I've come to figure
out why. I think it's so absolutely amazing in one
of the great works of art. It's if you don't
know this very brief version, it's just it's one day
in Dublin, and it follows three characters, and it's basically
what happens to three people in and not particularly unique day,
just a regular day. And the point of the art
(36:05):
is that that's that's what life is for all of us.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Really, it's just the day to day life, and that's
where the story lies for all of our lives, just
day to day activity.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Not the mountaintop moments sadly.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Or being a general who wins a war, or anything.
I mean, that does happen for some people, but.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Not most of us. Most of us, it's just getting
up and going.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
To work, and you know, you have an argument with
your wife, and you stop by the bar and talk
with your friends, and you look at that girl over
there and thinks she's kind of hot, but she wouldn't
have you, And just just a regular, regular things that
people think all the time. That's what life is for
almost all of us, and it portrays it better than
anything ever has.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
But I can still try to become a puffy lipped influencer, right,
Sure of course you can if you want. Okay, I
don't know if that was worth going to dream lots
of followers.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I don't know if that would work on you with your goatee,
big puffy lips sticking out of your goatee.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
By the way, gals, no to the puffy lips. No,
I agree. Man.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
There was a person last night at the party. Did
you see that Michael went into her lips?
