Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Jetty
and now he.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there
is no starvation in Gaza.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I mean, some of those kids are that's real starvation stuff.
I see it, and you can't fake that. So we're
going to be even more involved. It's crazy what's going
on over there.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I think Trump at one point said I only know
what I've seen on TV, but you can't fake that
there's real starvation going on there. I don't know what
that means. I mean, we talked about one example of
a well publicized I saw it fifteen times over the week,
and horrifying picture of a kid that turns out has
(01:04):
a terrible other kind of malady that causes him to
look the way he looks. I'm not trying to completely
deny that people are hungry or whatever. I don't really
know what's going on in Gaza, but my main point
has been today, neither do you. Looking at the Washington
Post's breaking news, I woke up to Gaza's death toll
(01:26):
passes sixty thousand health officials say what health officials the
Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas. So I'm
supposed to take Hamas's word for it. And whatever Hamas
says is going on is true. Whatever net and Yaho
says is going on is clearly a lie just to
(01:47):
stay in power. How do you come to that conclusion because.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You're wildly biased. But yeah, that's a fair assessment of it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I don't know what's going on, But how can you
claim you know what's going on when your cited source
is That makes no sense, particularly.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Given Hamas's history and clear incentives for Since they can
no longer win the battle with guns, they are trying
to win it through information and propaganda and persuading the
world opinion to turn against Israel strongly enough and soon
enough that Israel has to call off the dogs from
preserving Hamas's ability to you know, live fight and rule Gaza. Well, tokay, Yeah,
(02:28):
they have every interest in turning world opinion against Israel.
Does that mean that everything that's being said about hunger
and Gaza is wrong?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, of course not. But they to treat them as
an honest brokerism scene.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, right, so you believe Amas. You don't believe in
Yahoo period. That makes no sense. In terms of a
step toward Israel having a back off, I think a
huge step was taken yesterday with Trump saying I was
watching TV clearly starvation going on. You can't fake that.
I mean, that didn't help Israel because Israel does not
have a lot of friends in the terms of trying
(03:04):
to craft world opinion in the world. Was I going
to say, oh, so I was watching news Nation this morning.
I meant to have hands and grab this. But their
analyst I loved their analysts. It's the only place I've
seen this today on any sort of like mainstream national broadcast.
Their analysts said, look for Hamas, Palestinians dying is a feature,
(03:26):
not a bug. The more Palestinians die, the better for Hermas.
That's their attitude. So they love people starving or being
shot or trampled or whatever that's good for them. That's
how much they care about the Palestinians.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, they don't care about the day to day health
of the people, not at all. They care about a
continuing their Islamist fight for Islamic supremacy around the world,
but primarily in defeating the Jews and sweeping them off
the land and taking back that land mass in the
name of Islam.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's very their goal.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
And if it takes them a thousand years, they'll keep
at it for a thousand years. So yes, they'll willingly
sacrifice inno sense. They've done it for decades, and politicians
and leaders and experts on both sides of the Aisle
have said so on equivocally for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, yeah, not anymore. But they did. Remember at the
very beginning of this, when Joe Biden said what Democrats
have been saying for years, he came out and said,
because somebody hit him with those statistics. I think it
might have been that ridiculous hospital bombing story. But Joe Biden,
the first time he talked about this, he said, well,
you can't trust the Health Ministry, they're run by Hamas.
(04:38):
He got crucified by the Israel hating left, and then
he shut up about that. He never said it again,
which is unfortunate because it's true the Health Ministry is
an arm of a moss. To even quote them at
all is ridiculous, let alone take it completely seriously. He
(04:58):
shouldn't even.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Put their numbers in the newspaper. If you weren't listening yesterday,
you might have missed. We were talking about Matty Friedman
writing in the Free Press, a very very even handed,
purely truth seeking article about is there is Gaza starving
searching for the truth in an information war? And he
(05:20):
was talking about how it's extremely difficult to know and
he asks people on the ground what's going on, and
they said, everybody's spinning like crazy, as in spinning the truth,
and it's it's become practically impossible to figure out what's
actually going on on the ground.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So again, I don't know what's going on. But if
your argument includes quotes from Hamas, then you don't know
what's going on either. I would say Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NPR,
everybody I watched today.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Right, Yeah, And the UN organizations that's being quoted over
and over again has said, and I don't have the
specific verbage in front of me, that famine conditions exist. Ah,
it's not a famine because you have to prove that
through multiple steps and you have to check a bunch
of boxes. But famine conditions exist, which is being interpreted
(06:17):
as there is a famine in the media.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
All over the place.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Maddi Friedman writes and experienced Israeli civilian involved in the
aid efforts from an organization that works both with international
aid groups and the Israelian military. This is a person
who has every interest in people not starving. Said on
Friday that mass starvation is not yet the reality, but
it could be in the near future. There are already
pockets of malnutrition and real hunger, he told me. The
(06:44):
only way to avoid a deterioration, he said, is for
Israel to abandon the mistaken idea that withholding aid weakened
some maas and to urgently flood Gaza with food. It's
the right move morally, he said, but also strategically because
the humanitarian crisis is devastating what's left.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Of Israel's international support.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So I think you can you can see that is
a pretty honest broker who says, no, no, no, don't
don't worry about hamas stealing food. That's not that big
a deal. Flood Gaza with food. You've got to do
it right away. Israel needs to stop what they're doing.
Their description is that there are pockets of malnutrition and
real hunger. Contrast that with the headlines.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Uh, yeah, no kidding. And then so Trump announced yesterday
we haven't done this headline. The White House announced a
two hundred million dollar surge in humanitarian food assistance to Gaza.
Included in the package emergency nutritional supplements, logistics, support for
NGO distribution, expansion of the maritime aid routes via Cyprus. So,
(07:47):
because Trump saw on TV and believes there's starvation happening,
he made the point earlier and this should be talked
about more often. There's a bunch of places in the
world right now people are starving, and in recent years
they've been some horrifying examples from people starving at the
hands of another entity, whether it's a government or a
(08:09):
religious faction or whatever, and none of you all cared.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah, there are a handful of situations in Sub Saharan Africa,
for instance, horrific levels of starvation and brutality and murder
and actual genocide that nobody's writing about. And then most
notably the situation in Yemen. You know, I remember the
who Thias and all that stuff that has been called
repeatedly the greatest humanitarian crisis on Earth for a.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Few years now. But you don't see the New York Times. Well,
the New York Times actually has touched on.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It, but you don't see the mainstream media really covering
it at all. Because it's Brownish people killing Brownish people.
I think that does not have the colonial oppressor hook.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's the key. I really do, because a
lot of my favorite pundits would say, and what is
the difference Jews truth, I don't think it's that as
much as it is white people bad. If white people
are one side and people are starving on the other side,
then it's a it's a problem. If you got brown
people on both sides, or black people on both sides,
(09:14):
I ignore it.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Anti Semitism is part of the stew. But no, you're right.
I mean in Africa it's black people starving black people,
and or Brownish people starving black people in the case
of one notable genocide. Then you've got Yemen, where it's
Brownish people starving and murdering Brownish people, not the least
but interesting. But in the Israeli situation, you've got a
(09:38):
Western democracy with arguably Whitish people argue, you know, allegedly
killing and starving Brownish people. That is the hook. And
you remember earlier, we were talking about this fabulous essay
this guy wrote about the the just dopey, stoner logic
(09:58):
of so much of what is is taught in schools
these days, and that it relates to the whole neo
Marxist the person with more power is always wrong and
the person with less power is always right.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's that grossly oversimplified.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
And I know a lot of thinking people are probably
listening and saying to themselves, it can't be that academia
and the media have launched onto something that's simplistic and
dumb and obviously not true.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they have friends, they have.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, And I believe that once you become aware of it,
it becomes obvious because you see it all over the place.
We do have some breaking news around this now. Over
the weekend, President McCrone announced that France was going to
recognize a Palestinian state. That is the first time any
of the big G seven or G eight countries had
(10:53):
broken with the United States to recognize Palestine as a state.
All the other countries in the world all really do
already do because they hate Israel, right, the UN is
almost entirely anti Israel. But we had stuck together the
United States, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, and then there's like
one more had never broken in this France did. Now
(11:13):
England has announced that they're about to. This just happened.
Prime Minister Caer Starmer said the UK will recognize a
Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire
in Gaza and moves toward peace.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ah so it's a threat.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, Well, I don't know if Israel is going to
be able to fulfill their needs. Uh no, But I
don't think France is going to be able to fulfill
the threat or Britain. How do you recognize a state
that doesn't exist, It has no coherent governor government, it
has no agreed upon borders.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I definitely think it hurts that there's a break
in the alliance of the countries that have been holding
on to no Palestinian state for all these years. But Trump,
he's over the weekend and he's ask about does He said,
who cares? What difference does it make if France recognizes spells?
It doesn't make any difference. Doesn't that be actual effect?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's true?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So oddly enough, I have a couple of more Emmanuel
McCrone related stories. Okay, to squeeze in.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
His wife looks like a dude. Is that one of
the stories?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Mm, careful you might get sued. That's right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh, that's right. I heard this story. Yeah, we got
to do that when we come back. This is scary.
I might be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Suck Red Blue and inmate at a New Orleans jail
was mistakenly released on Friday after authorities confused him with
another prisoner with a similar name. So congratulations to Maxwell's Ghislane.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Louisiana needs to take a look at their whole jail system.
I got some problems there.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Jimmy, where's Jimmy, Jimmy, you're released? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Wow, there's a guy on. Let's make a deal. Katie
dressed as a pancake. Oh that cake. That's charming, as
we expect that out of one of you from now on.
His wife appears to be a stick of bacon. Isn't
that a nice couple? That's darling.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Apel don't normally dress his breakfast foods, so that is charming.
It occurs to me a great follow up to our
previous discussion about the idiotic victim oppresser. You know, philosophy,
And I was going to do something a little lighter hearted,
but I can't resist. Michael just plays seventy two from
(13:39):
Special Report.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Police sources in Cincinnati tell Fox News they have identified
at least five suspects and a violent browl that took
place downtown Friday night. Footage showing people attacking a man
who has shoved to the ground and kicked several times.
A woman also seen lying unconscious in the street after
apparently being punched.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
A White house spokesman saying.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Today several people have quotes about it being barbaric, hard
to watch, sickening violence.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There must be repercussions.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
All right, it's a bunch of black people beating a
white guy into serious medical trauma. Okay, If the roles
were reversed, the media would talk about it for the
next five years. It would be you would know that
man's name. He would be a household name like George.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Floyd, regardless of the circumstance of why anybody was beating anybody.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Oh yeah, Now, I'm not trying to make any greater
point about black people or white people or anything. But
if the roles were reversed and everything else was precisely
the same. This would be a gigantic story that you
would hear about forever. Why the difference because of that
whole idiotic victim oppressor philosophy being internalized by the woke
(14:54):
jackasses of America.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now you did say before the break, I might get
sued by President Macrone of France. I'm intrigued and you
would deserve it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Macrone and the lovely Missus Macrone Missus r have fought
what have filed a defamation suit in Delaware against social
media provocateurs using the female form that's interesting and general
crazy pants Candace Owens. According to the complaint, Owens has claimed,
(15:29):
among other things, that Madame Macrone is a man dude,
that the two Macrons are actually blood relatives committing incest.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh, that seems I've never made that.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Claim, and that Monsieur McCrone was elected president as part
of a ci A mind control experiment, and so Macrone's
suing Candace Owens. Yes, both of the Macrons are brothers.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That was a joke, It's parody.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
And then this very good article gets into the difficulty
of proving actual malice in a slander case.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But you know who's who's in the who's in the
mood for legalities?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Really, you got people running around dressed as pancakes and bacon.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I know so little about the law. I didn't know
the French president could sue me for in any way whatsoever,
no matter what sure, in what court a French quarter
US court just.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Told you in Delaware?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
How does the president Macrone have the ability to assue
me in Delaware? Anybody can sue anybody anywhere, practically might
not win. But I just don't understand because his insulted
as wife, or.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It's it's it's it's slanders slanderous designed to hurt their
reputation and cause them emotional pain and storm and drong
and whatever else I don't know, don't marry or high
school teacher. Oh boy, well, see candas owns claims, it's
not even that, it's that they're both dudes and their
blood relatives.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Why does Candice Owen's claim that for what reason?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Because she is, as the Free Press points out, a
general crazy pants.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay, we got more on the.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Way Armstrong and Geeddy. NFL great Dion Sanders emotional as
he reveals his battle with cancer saying he was diagnosed
with an aggressive form of bladder cancer just three months ago. Remarkably,
his medical team at u SEE Health University of Colorado
Hospital now consider him cured.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I am pleased to report that the results from the
surgery are that he is cured from the cancer.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Deon Sanders saying following the successful surgery to remove the
cancer and his bladder in early May, he is now
on the mend and he is grateful.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
God is so good.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You have no idea, Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He had his bladder removed. How are they making that work?
I suppose. I don't need the details on that.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
But this is not a story about the media, but
the whole aggressive form of cancer thing, which you have.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Addressed.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It sounds like impressive and like that's extra dangerous, but
that's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the more aggressive forms
are easier to treat.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, because they they take the bait, as my cancer
doctor said, with the poison that is chemotherapy, because they're aggressive,
so they're going after it and they eat it and dies.
But anyway, can we can we?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh? Go ahead? Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Did you have a follow up cancer wise or sports worse? No,
I was gonna switch to baseball via a clip. But
go ahead, my cancer thing is gonna be which is
tied in with baseball. A famous baseball player died yesterday
of or It was announced that he died yesterday of
prostate cancer, and I just wanted to point out the
whole I mean, I've been a cheerleader since I had
cancer of the don't overreact to cancer diagnosis whenever you
(18:48):
get one, because you don't have any idea how things
are going to be. It might be horrible, it might
be great. But there is the fact that like prostate
cancer is the most curable of all the cancers. It's
like ninety five percent of people get cured, but that
means five percent don't. Right, one out of fifty don't.
(19:09):
And he was one of them, I guess and killed him.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Wow, the great Ryan Sandberg one of my baseball heroes
as a young man.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Loved him.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Second basement Hall of Famer for the Chicago Cubs and
a lovely guy too.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, too bad.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Well, I remember when you had your cancer that you know,
the first round of treatment like nipset for eighty percent
of people roughly or whatever the numbers were. You remember
better than me, and you were in the twenty percent. Yeah,
and the next thing they went with kind of a
similar result.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, that happened a couple of times. And then I
always thought of because originally it was like I had
a seventy percent chance of living in a thirty percent
chance of dying. You know, those odds are good, But
like if you looked at us, like playing Russian Roulette,
and you're putting a gun to your head, you wouldn't
exactly not be flinching when you pulled the trigger, even
if you had a seventy percent chance of the bullet
(19:58):
not going off.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, those were the days when Michael started walking
around referring to himself as the co host and I
had to tell him, hey.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He's not dead yet. Yeah, so there are some dark
days wait till the body.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cools, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Anyway, speaking of sports, which we barely are, really, I
want to hear nineteen Michael.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Five men have joined baseball's all time greats in Cooper's Town.
Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, and Billy
Wagner were all officially inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Sabathia and so Zuki were first ballid picks. Wagner took
ten tries.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
To get in.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Alan and Parker both honored posthumously.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well coincidentally they're all great ballplayers. Huh. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Anyway, there is a sports this is kind of inside sports.
But so we played a clip there from Dion Sanders,
who's a legendary NFL player and now coach, and his
son got a lot of attention playing for him there
wherever he was playing in Colorado or whatever Colorado State
I act. And so his sons color son went into
the NFL draft. But so they retired Dion Sanders kid's
(21:09):
number there at the college. And Sean Gillis, the comedian
at the espi's had a pretty brutal joke about that,
congratulations to I don't remember sanders name. Do you remember
his first name?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Any Sanders?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, schadoor Sanders having his number retired there at Colorado
State as a quarterback. But you know you deserve it.
You went eleven and eight and almost won the Alamo Bowl.
So pretty impressive, I thought, how well, and then he
pre launched.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
In the draft for being like an all about me guy.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Almost won the Alimo Bowl. Was a roughly.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Anyway, speaking of sports baseball specifically, do you remember a
couple of two three weeks ago, I brought you the
term spot fixing. It's been absolutely a huge problem globally
in sports where you know, in the world of sports betting,
it's not just who's gonna win or who's gonna lose
or cover the spread. You can bet on very specific
(22:10):
minor occurrences in the game. Will the first pitch of
the third inning be a strike or a ball? And
people do gamble on that stuff. And when you fix
the outcome of that very little, insignificant actor or occurrence
in the game, that's called spot fixing.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I've never looked into this, but I suppose it's like,
so it's not how many rebounds is Luka Doncic gonna get?
It might be how many rebounds in the first quarter,
or like, or who will get rebound?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Now it's tougher in basketball, No, it would No, it
would be will Luka Doncik's first shot be a bucket
or a miss?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Will he miss his first free throw? Would be a
good one, yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
And so we brought you the story of pitcher Louis Ortiz.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I think it was who there was unusual wagering activity
on two of his pitches this season being a ball,
because they have algorithms that can track. I mean, if
you have you have a fairly you know, regular number,
predictable number of bets on silly stuff like this. I mean,
(23:25):
it doesn't vary that much. Then all of a sudden,
Louis Ortiz's first pitch in the third inning has an
enormous amount of betting on it.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's what they look for.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And both times he threw the ball far outside the
strike zone, like making extra sure it wasn't a strike.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well, his.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Team, His team made the Cleveland Guardians star closer Emmanuel
Clays is now a non disciplinary paid leave is part
of an ongoing investigation into him. Spot fixing could be
tough to stop. The only way to do that is
(24:07):
through the algorithms. But they're investigating, But how do you
investigate it exactly? Hey dude, there are a bunch of
bets on this and being a ball, and you threw
the ball into the stands. Yeah, yeah, lost the grip.
It happens now and again sucks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
For up and up sports betting. There is the problem
with AI now that practically everybody could be like the
very best sports betting people used to be. You just
ask AI because they scours all the stats.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
What they're trying to do, and this only works in
legal betting, is eliminate these so called micro bets. As
Rob Manford, the MLB Commissioner, said, there are certain types
of bets that strike me as unnecessary and particularly vulnerable,
and so they're trying to eliminate that in the law
(25:00):
awful betting sites. But you know, illegal bookies are still
a huge percentage of betting.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I don't know if, and I honestly I don't know
because I haven't done much sports gambling and and I've
only used a bookie like twice in my life, and
that was for who's gonna win, who's gonna lose?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Can you do that sort of prop bet with a
bookie these days? I don't even know anyway. Micro fixing
they're calling it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Have you ever known anybody, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Spot fixing and the second Major League Baseball player has
now been suspended under suspicion of it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Have you ever known anybody who was super into sports betting?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, like Norm McDonald level into sports betting site, really
like really into.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
It, addicted ruining their lives or just like you know,
I've known a handful of people who are very enthusiastic
about it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Did they mostly win? Or because there is some skill
involved in sports betting, or at least there used to
be pre ai, I don't know about now.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I've never realized if you did enough homework you had
some knowledge of what's most likely to happen. That might
not fit with the line as it comes out.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well right, yeah, because the line is all about what
the world thinks. And if you are more knowledgeable and
savvy or informed than the world, yeah, you ought to
be able to, you know, theoretically win more than you lose.
All the house cares about is equal bets on each
side of the equation. That's all they care about. Then
(26:27):
they take the vig from everybody and they win.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now. Was at a big casino the other night. I
hadn't met in one a long time, and man, people
sitting there shoveling money into those machines on a beautiful evening.
I just I don't get it. I mean, if that's
if you enjoyed it, So if.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The weather's foul, it's okay.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Or what.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I enjoy things you probably think would stupid. But just
I look at that and I think, what the hell
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah? I did that. I was in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I don't do it much, have just done it really once,
maybe twice, for like a couple hours. But anyway, I
was there with a bunch of college buy and we
were eating and drinking and carrying on. And I think
it was the NCAA tournament and we were there at
the sports book and it was it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Was great fun.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, that's different than shoving shoveling money into a machine
that set the dole out of sort amount in the
casino was Bill talking about that you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Love machines, and Soffer I hadn't realized.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
We moved on from all there were different kinds of machines.
I was just watching all the people. I mean, it
was packed full of people on a gorgeous summer evening
inside in the dark, in smoke because it can smoke
there shoveling money into these machines, that just seems insane
to me. You can do whatever you want as long
as you don't end up with any of my taxpayer
dollars if you uh decide you spent more money than
(27:38):
you should have.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
But there's no way to guarantee that. Is there such
a thing as spot fixing? Like betting on a talk show?
Will Joe Getty's first attempt at humor land or not
be subjective? Because I would throw that in a minute
for the right, you know, dollar figures. If there's any
mobsters out there listening, we will finish Strong.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Next Armstrong and Getty, we begin with the backlash of
our new ad campaign featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Yeah, the ads are for American Eagle and the tagline
is Sidney Sweeney has great genes Now. In one ad,
the blonde hair, blue eyed actress talks about genes as
in DNA, being passed down from her parents.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
The play on words is being compared to.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Nazi propaganda with racial undertones.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
The pun is good genes activates a troubling historical associations
for this country. The American eugenics movement and it's prime
between like nineteen hundred and nineteen forty, weaponized the idea
of good genes just to justify white supremacism.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
No, despite that backlash, American eagle stock has been soaring.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That was nobody's finding your crap anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
That was some old lady professor about Eugenny or something
or other.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Sorry, old lady, nobody's buying that steam and pilot extrament anymore.
You scared people into saying, oh, okay, sure, yeah there
for a few years because people are afraid of losing
their jobs. No, you're full of crap. You're a crackpot.
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
She's a gorgeous woman with an amazing body.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Do you think maybe that's what they're referring to, Yeah,
crack pot, I hope you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I guarantee I'm right.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That the whole making up controversies thing is dying all.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
In the hole.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
At least around a white supremacy critical theory thing, please.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, at least around political correctness. Have you seen the
ad there, Katie, I have, And this is so dumb.
It is so dumb, and so that old lady professor
there and their serious tones about it's the worst example
of our history of eugenics and white supremacy in this country.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And eugenics was part of the progressive movement of the day.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yes, Michael Hanson said he's been studying the ad most
of the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Did you remember Sidney Sweeney is the one who was
selling the bar soap with a little bit of her
bathwater in it? Not right? Yeah, Oh, so she has
an eye for getting attention, or her people do, because
that's two things in a row, soap with a little
of my bathwater that get in every late night comedian
made a joke, and then this thing is a controversy. Okay,
(30:28):
I see how she's working.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Hanson says, she has lingerie coming out as well.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
All right, probably reminds people of slavery or something I do.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I'm gonna make a joke then then contradict it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
But I wonder if her PR firm has like a
a a.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Bowlpen full of serious looking academics and they say, look,
we need we need you to say that the joke
about jeans is like reminiscent of the Nazis or something
like that, because we need to stir up some controversy.
And the old lady says, okay, all right, if you
want me to, I'll say that her. If she's under
the employee of the PR firm.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Her new line of lingerie, which reminds many of the
slave trade of the eighteenth century.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
What that's right, The underwear imported much as the slaves were, right, Yeah,
all right, moron, something to sleep in like slaves once
had to sleep in their beds after a long day.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Picking cotton, which not coincidently, I would think, is what
this lingerie is made of?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Cotton?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
It's a dog with salt.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
That's not much dumber than this, which is actually being
discussed on Good Morning America. Not much, My dumb example
is not much dumber then white supremacy and eugenics.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Outside of academia and the media, though, I'm telling you,
everybody's rolling their eyes at this. I have everybody who
has it, he says, I mean, you're pierced, hair dyed.
Gender bending online young militant woman community is a gast,
but they woke up aghast.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So I feel like we're going through some sort of
churn that is going to lead us to some new
point on all of this sort of thing. And I'll
just be interested to see where we land, because I
think everybody's tired of what we have been doing for
a while. Yeah, and so I don't know where we're
(32:33):
going to land, nor I neither does anybody else.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
But getting back to that fabulous essay I read part
of earlier, this guy is talking about despite the veil
of critical thinking in colleges, for instance, it's really just
a subtle attempt to indoctrinate students with a simplistic but
intuitively satisfying progressive worldview.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Indeed, it applied this kind of.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Analysis to all sorts of sociological insights you with psychological topics.
Far from super seating my old stoner intuition in the university,
wasn't reinforcing it. I was learning to argue by analogy
rather than appealing to evidence.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm strong, I'm strong. You're ready with Katy Green and.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
Strong.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the
coupe to wrap up this show for the day.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Michaelangelow, our technical director, will lead us off. Michael, maybe
I should.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Sell some of my bathwater.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
It'd be maybe, you know, at the dollar store for
ninety nine cents or something new.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And what am I gonna do with it? Like put
it on the shelf to look.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
At or tell your friends about it?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Tell your friends about it.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Sell it Katie Green or Esteemed and Newswoman. As a
final thought, Katie.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Uh, you can go to Katie's corner and see the
smoking hot Sydney Sweeney, not the commercial.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I just put it up all right, fantastic stick Jack.
Final thought for.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Us, I am fatigued by the modern world. I have
just may have reached my limit of being able to
be amused by or interested in modern society. I think
I've hit the wall. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Oh, I get it. Yeah, you'll bounce back tomorrow though.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
So speaking of tomorrow, tomorrow's show, a couple of stories
I didn't get to that I really wanted to get to.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Indonesian monkey gangs. Are you at risk?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Plus grocery stores will soon change their prices hundreds of
times per day.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Her new eyeliner reminiscent of the Holocaust. Armstrong in Getty
rabbing up another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
So many people, thanks, so a little time. Go to
Armstrong and Getty dot com. Got a lot of great
clicks there for you.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
We'll see tomorrow. God bless America.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I'm strong and gata.
Speaker 11 (35:00):
Fools, Sidney Sweete routines.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
The Internet left goes me Tom Tom.
Speaker 11 (35:07):
Stoation, Foss claims on TV gunn NYC.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Are you know two?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Did you see?
Speaker 11 (35:17):
This is the end of the show as we know
as this is Terrell's the end of the show as
we know as him, Jack and Joe will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Armstrong and gettys
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Jetty
and now he.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there
is no starvation in Gaza.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I mean, some of those kids are that's real starvation stuff.
I see it, and you can't fake that. So we're
going to be even more involved. It's crazy what's going
on over there.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I think Trump at one point said I only know
what I've seen on TV, but you can't fake that
there's real starvation going on there. I don't know what
that means. I mean, we talked about one example of
a well publicized I saw it fifteen times over the week,
and horrifying picture of a kid that turns out has
(01:04):
a terrible other kind of malady that causes him to
look the way he looks. I'm not trying to completely
deny that people are hungry or whatever. I don't really
know what's going on in Gaza, but my main point
has been today, neither do you. Looking at the Washington
Post's breaking news, I woke up to Gaza's death toll
(01:26):
passes sixty thousand health officials say what health officials the
Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas. So I'm
supposed to take Hamas's word for it. And whatever Hamas
says is going on is true. Whatever net and Yaho
says is going on is clearly a lie just to
(01:47):
stay in power. How do you come to that conclusion because.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You're wildly biased. But yeah, that's a fair assessment of it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I don't know what's going on, But how can you
claim you know what's going on when your cited source
is That makes no sense, particularly.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Given Hamas's history and clear incentives for Since they can
no longer win the battle with guns, they are trying
to win it through information and propaganda and persuading the
world opinion to turn against Israel strongly enough and soon
enough that Israel has to call off the dogs from
preserving Hamas's ability to you know, live fight and rule Gaza. Well, tokay, Yeah,
(02:28):
they have every interest in turning world opinion against Israel.
Does that mean that everything that's being said about hunger
and Gaza is wrong?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, of course not. But they to treat them as
an honest brokerism scene.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, right, so you believe Amas. You don't believe in
Yahoo period. That makes no sense. In terms of a
step toward Israel having a back off, I think a
huge step was taken yesterday with Trump saying I was
watching TV clearly starvation going on. You can't fake that.
I mean, that didn't help Israel because Israel does not
have a lot of friends in the terms of trying
(03:04):
to craft world opinion in the world. Was I going
to say, oh, so I was watching news Nation this morning.
I meant to have hands and grab this. But their
analyst I loved their analysts. It's the only place I've
seen this today on any sort of like mainstream national broadcast.
Their analysts said, look for Hamas, Palestinians dying is a feature,
(03:26):
not a bug. The more Palestinians die, the better for Hermas.
That's their attitude. So they love people starving or being
shot or trampled or whatever that's good for them. That's
how much they care about the Palestinians.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Yeah, they don't care about the day to day health
of the people, not at all. They care about a
continuing their Islamist fight for Islamic supremacy around the world,
but primarily in defeating the Jews and sweeping them off
the land and taking back that land mass in the
name of Islam.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's very their goal.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
And if it takes them a thousand years, they'll keep
at it for a thousand years. So yes, they'll willingly
sacrifice inno sense. They've done it for decades, and politicians
and leaders and experts on both sides of the Aisle
have said so on equivocally for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, yeah, not anymore. But they did. Remember at the
very beginning of this, when Joe Biden said what Democrats
have been saying for years, he came out and said,
because somebody hit him with those statistics. I think it
might have been that ridiculous hospital bombing story. But Joe Biden,
the first time he talked about this, he said, well,
you can't trust the Health Ministry, they're run by Hamas.
(04:38):
He got crucified by the Israel hating left, and then
he shut up about that. He never said it again,
which is unfortunate because it's true the Health Ministry is
an arm of a moss. To even quote them at
all is ridiculous, let alone take it completely seriously. He
(04:58):
shouldn't even.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Put their numbers in the newspaper. If you weren't listening yesterday,
you might have missed. We were talking about Matty Friedman
writing in the Free Press, a very very even handed,
purely truth seeking article about is there is Gaza starving
searching for the truth in an information war? And he
(05:20):
was talking about how it's extremely difficult to know and
he asks people on the ground what's going on, and
they said, everybody's spinning like crazy, as in spinning the truth,
and it's it's become practically impossible to figure out what's
actually going on on the ground.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
So again, I don't know what's going on. But if
your argument includes quotes from Hamas, then you don't know
what's going on either. I would say Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NPR,
everybody I watched today.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Right, Yeah, And the UN organizations that's being quoted over
and over again has said, and I don't have the
specific verbage in front of me, that famine conditions exist. Ah,
it's not a famine because you have to prove that
through multiple steps and you have to check a bunch
of boxes. But famine conditions exist, which is being interpreted
(06:17):
as there is a famine in the media.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
All over the place.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Maddi Friedman writes and experienced Israeli civilian involved in the
aid efforts from an organization that works both with international
aid groups and the Israelian military. This is a person
who has every interest in people not starving. Said on
Friday that mass starvation is not yet the reality, but
it could be in the near future. There are already
pockets of malnutrition and real hunger, he told me. The
(06:44):
only way to avoid a deterioration, he said, is for
Israel to abandon the mistaken idea that withholding aid weakened
some maas and to urgently flood Gaza with food. It's
the right move morally, he said, but also strategically because
the humanitarian crisis is devastating what's left.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Of Israel's international support.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
So I think you can you can see that is
a pretty honest broker who says, no, no, no, don't
don't worry about hamas stealing food. That's not that big
a deal. Flood Gaza with food. You've got to do
it right away. Israel needs to stop what they're doing.
Their description is that there are pockets of malnutrition and
real hunger. Contrast that with the headlines.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Uh, yeah, no kidding. And then so Trump announced yesterday
we haven't done this headline. The White House announced a
two hundred million dollar surge in humanitarian food assistance to Gaza.
Included in the package emergency nutritional supplements, logistics, support for
NGO distribution, expansion of the maritime aid routes via Cyprus. So,
(07:47):
because Trump saw on TV and believes there's starvation happening,
he made the point earlier and this should be talked
about more often. There's a bunch of places in the
world right now people are starving, and in recent years
they've been some horrifying examples from people starving at the
hands of another entity, whether it's a government or a
(08:09):
religious faction or whatever, and none of you all cared.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah, there are a handful of situations in Sub Saharan Africa,
for instance, horrific levels of starvation and brutality and murder
and actual genocide that nobody's writing about. And then most
notably the situation in Yemen. You know, I remember the
who Thias and all that stuff that has been called
repeatedly the greatest humanitarian crisis on Earth for a.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Few years now. But you don't see the New York Times. Well,
the New York Times actually has touched on.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It, but you don't see the mainstream media really covering
it at all. Because it's Brownish people killing Brownish people.
I think that does not have the colonial oppressor hook.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think that's the key. I really do, because a
lot of my favorite pundits would say, and what is
the difference Jews truth, I don't think it's that as
much as it is white people bad. If white people
are one side and people are starving on the other side,
then it's a it's a problem. If you got brown
people on both sides, or black people on both sides,
(09:14):
I ignore it.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Anti Semitism is part of the stew. But no, you're right.
I mean in Africa it's black people starving black people,
and or Brownish people starving black people in the case
of one notable genocide. Then you've got Yemen, where it's
Brownish people starving and murdering Brownish people, not the least
but interesting. But in the Israeli situation, you've got a
(09:38):
Western democracy with arguably Whitish people argue, you know, allegedly
killing and starving Brownish people. That is the hook. And
you remember earlier, we were talking about this fabulous essay
this guy wrote about the the just dopey, stoner logic
(09:58):
of so much of what is is taught in schools
these days, and that it relates to the whole neo
Marxist the person with more power is always wrong and
the person with less power is always right.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's that grossly oversimplified.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
And I know a lot of thinking people are probably
listening and saying to themselves, it can't be that academia
and the media have launched onto something that's simplistic and
dumb and obviously not true.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they have friends, they have.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, And I believe that once you become aware of it,
it becomes obvious because you see it all over the place.
We do have some breaking news around this now. Over
the weekend, President McCrone announced that France was going to
recognize a Palestinian state. That is the first time any
of the big G seven or G eight countries had
(10:53):
broken with the United States to recognize Palestine as a state.
All the other countries in the world all really do
already do because they hate Israel, right, the UN is
almost entirely anti Israel. But we had stuck together the
United States, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, and then there's like
one more had never broken in this France did. Now
(11:13):
England has announced that they're about to. This just happened.
Prime Minister Caer Starmer said the UK will recognize a
Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire
in Gaza and moves toward peace.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ah so it's a threat.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, Well, I don't know if Israel is going to
be able to fulfill their needs. Uh no, But I
don't think France is going to be able to fulfill
the threat or Britain. How do you recognize a state
that doesn't exist, It has no coherent governor government, it
has no agreed upon borders.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
What does that even mean?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I definitely think it hurts that there's a break
in the alliance of the countries that have been holding
on to no Palestinian state for all these years. But Trump,
he's over the weekend and he's ask about does He said,
who cares? What difference does it make if France recognizes spells?
It doesn't make any difference. Doesn't that be actual effect?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
That's true?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
So oddly enough, I have a couple of more Emmanuel
McCrone related stories. Okay, to squeeze in.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
His wife looks like a dude. Is that one of
the stories?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Mm, careful you might get sued. That's right.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Oh, that's right. I heard this story. Yeah, we got
to do that when we come back. This is scary.
I might be in trouble.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Suck Red Blue and inmate at a New Orleans jail
was mistakenly released on Friday after authorities confused him with
another prisoner with a similar name. So congratulations to Maxwell's Ghislane.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Louisiana needs to take a look at their whole jail system.
I got some problems there.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Jimmy, where's Jimmy, Jimmy, you're released? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Wow, there's a guy on. Let's make a deal. Katie
dressed as a pancake. Oh that cake. That's charming, as
we expect that out of one of you from now on.
His wife appears to be a stick of bacon. Isn't
that a nice couple? That's darling.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Apel don't normally dress his breakfast foods, so that is charming.
It occurs to me a great follow up to our
previous discussion about the idiotic victim oppresser. You know, philosophy,
And I was going to do something a little lighter hearted,
but I can't resist. Michael just plays seventy two from
(13:39):
Special Report.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Police sources in Cincinnati tell Fox News they have identified
at least five suspects and a violent browl that took
place downtown Friday night. Footage showing people attacking a man
who has shoved to the ground and kicked several times.
A woman also seen lying unconscious in the street after
apparently being punched.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
A White house spokesman saying.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Today several people have quotes about it being barbaric, hard
to watch, sickening violence.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There must be repercussions.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
All right, it's a bunch of black people beating a
white guy into serious medical trauma. Okay, If the roles
were reversed, the media would talk about it for the
next five years. It would be you would know that
man's name. He would be a household name like George.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Floyd, regardless of the circumstance of why anybody was beating anybody.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Oh yeah, Now, I'm not trying to make any greater
point about black people or white people or anything. But
if the roles were reversed and everything else was precisely
the same. This would be a gigantic story that you
would hear about forever. Why the difference because of that
whole idiotic victim oppressor philosophy being internalized by the woke
(14:54):
jackasses of America.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now you did say before the break, I might get
sued by President Macrone of France. I'm intrigued and you
would deserve it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Macrone and the lovely Missus Macrone Missus r have fought
what have filed a defamation suit in Delaware against social
media provocateurs using the female form that's interesting and general
crazy pants Candace Owens. According to the complaint, Owens has claimed,
(15:29):
among other things, that Madame Macrone is a man dude,
that the two Macrons are actually blood relatives committing incest.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Oh, that seems I've never made that.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Claim, and that Monsieur McCrone was elected president as part
of a ci A mind control experiment, and so Macrone's
suing Candace Owens. Yes, both of the Macrons are brothers.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That was a joke, It's parody.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
And then this very good article gets into the difficulty
of proving actual malice in a slander case.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But you know who's who's in the who's in the
mood for legalities?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Really, you got people running around dressed as pancakes and bacon.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I know so little about the law. I didn't know
the French president could sue me for in any way whatsoever,
no matter what sure, in what court a French quarter
US court just.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Told you in Delaware?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
How does the president Macrone have the ability to assue
me in Delaware? Anybody can sue anybody anywhere, practically might
not win. But I just don't understand because his insulted
as wife, or.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It's it's it's it's slanders slanderous designed to hurt their
reputation and cause them emotional pain and storm and drong
and whatever else I don't know, don't marry or high
school teacher. Oh boy, well, see candas owns claims, it's
not even that, it's that they're both dudes and their
blood relatives.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Why does Candice Owen's claim that for what reason?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Because she is, as the Free Press points out, a
general crazy pants.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay, we got more on the.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Way Armstrong and Geeddy. NFL great Dion Sanders emotional as
he reveals his battle with cancer saying he was diagnosed
with an aggressive form of bladder cancer just three months ago. Remarkably,
his medical team at u SEE Health University of Colorado
Hospital now consider him cured.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I am pleased to report that the results from the
surgery are that he is cured from the cancer.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
Deon Sanders saying following the successful surgery to remove the
cancer and his bladder in early May, he is now
on the mend and he is grateful.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
God is so good.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You have no idea, Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He had his bladder removed. How are they making that work?
I suppose. I don't need the details on that.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
But this is not a story about the media, but
the whole aggressive form of cancer thing, which you have.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Addressed.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
It sounds like impressive and like that's extra dangerous, but
that's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the more aggressive forms
are easier to treat.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, because they they take the bait, as my cancer
doctor said, with the poison that is chemotherapy, because they're aggressive,
so they're going after it and they eat it and dies.
But anyway, can we can we?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh? Go ahead? Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Did you have a follow up cancer wise or sports worse? No,
I was gonna switch to baseball via a clip. But
go ahead, my cancer thing is gonna be which is
tied in with baseball. A famous baseball player died yesterday
of or It was announced that he died yesterday of
prostate cancer, and I just wanted to point out the
whole I mean, I've been a cheerleader since I had
cancer of the don't overreact to cancer diagnosis whenever you
(18:48):
get one, because you don't have any idea how things
are going to be. It might be horrible, it might
be great. But there is the fact that like prostate
cancer is the most curable of all the cancers. It's
like ninety five percent of people get cured, but that
means five percent don't. Right, one out of fifty don't.
(19:09):
And he was one of them, I guess and killed him.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Wow, the great Ryan Sandberg one of my baseball heroes
as a young man.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Loved him.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Second basement Hall of Famer for the Chicago Cubs and
a lovely guy too.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, too bad.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Well, I remember when you had your cancer that you know,
the first round of treatment like nipset for eighty percent
of people roughly or whatever the numbers were. You remember
better than me, and you were in the twenty percent. Yeah,
and the next thing they went with kind of a
similar result.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, that happened a couple of times. And then I
always thought of because originally it was like I had
a seventy percent chance of living in a thirty percent
chance of dying. You know, those odds are good, But
like if you looked at us, like playing Russian Roulette,
and you're putting a gun to your head, you wouldn't
exactly not be flinching when you pulled the trigger, even
if you had a seventy percent chance of the bullet
(19:58):
not going off.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, yeah, those were the days when Michael started walking
around referring to himself as the co host and I
had to tell him, hey.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
He's not dead yet. Yeah, so there are some dark
days wait till the body.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Cools, yes, exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Anyway, speaking of sports, which we barely are, really, I
want to hear nineteen Michael.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
Five men have joined baseball's all time greats in Cooper's Town.
Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, and Billy
Wagner were all officially inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Sabathia and so Zuki were first ballid picks. Wagner took
ten tries.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
To get in.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Alan and Parker both honored posthumously.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well coincidentally they're all great ballplayers. Huh. Interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Anyway, there is a sports this is kind of inside sports.
But so we played a clip there from Dion Sanders,
who's a legendary NFL player and now coach, and his
son got a lot of attention playing for him there
wherever he was playing in Colorado or whatever Colorado State
I act. And so his sons color son went into
the NFL draft. But so they retired Dion Sanders kid's
(21:09):
number there at the college. And Sean Gillis, the comedian
at the espi's had a pretty brutal joke about that,
congratulations to I don't remember sanders name. Do you remember
his first name?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Any Sanders?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, schadoor Sanders having his number retired there at Colorado
State as a quarterback. But you know you deserve it.
You went eleven and eight and almost won the Alamo Bowl.
So pretty impressive, I thought, how well, and then he
pre launched.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
In the draft for being like an all about me guy.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Almost won the Alimo Bowl. Was a roughly.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Anyway, speaking of sports baseball specifically, do you remember a
couple of two three weeks ago, I brought you the
term spot fixing. It's been absolutely a huge problem globally
in sports where you know, in the world of sports betting,
it's not just who's gonna win or who's gonna lose
or cover the spread. You can bet on very specific
(22:10):
minor occurrences in the game. Will the first pitch of
the third inning be a strike or a ball? And
people do gamble on that stuff. And when you fix
the outcome of that very little, insignificant actor or occurrence
in the game, that's called spot fixing.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I've never looked into this, but I suppose it's like,
so it's not how many rebounds is Luka Doncic gonna get?
It might be how many rebounds in the first quarter,
or like, or who will get rebound?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Now it's tougher in basketball, No, it would No, it
would be will Luka Doncik's first shot be a bucket
or a miss?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Will he miss his first free throw? Would be a
good one, yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
And so we brought you the story of pitcher Louis Ortiz.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
I think it was who there was unusual wagering activity
on two of his pitches this season being a ball,
because they have algorithms that can track. I mean, if
you have you have a fairly you know, regular number,
predictable number of bets on silly stuff like this. I mean,
(23:25):
it doesn't vary that much. Then all of a sudden,
Louis Ortiz's first pitch in the third inning has an
enormous amount of betting on it.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
That's what they look for.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And both times he threw the ball far outside the
strike zone, like making extra sure it wasn't a strike.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well, his.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Team, His team made the Cleveland Guardians star closer Emmanuel
Clays is now a non disciplinary paid leave is part
of an ongoing investigation into him. Spot fixing could be
tough to stop. The only way to do that is
(24:07):
through the algorithms. But they're investigating, But how do you
investigate it exactly? Hey dude, there are a bunch of
bets on this and being a ball, and you threw
the ball into the stands. Yeah, yeah, lost the grip.
It happens now and again sucks.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
For up and up sports betting. There is the problem
with AI now that practically everybody could be like the
very best sports betting people used to be. You just
ask AI because they scours all the stats.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
What they're trying to do, and this only works in
legal betting, is eliminate these so called micro bets. As
Rob Manford, the MLB Commissioner, said, there are certain types
of bets that strike me as unnecessary and particularly vulnerable,
and so they're trying to eliminate that in the law
(25:00):
awful betting sites. But you know, illegal bookies are still
a huge percentage of betting.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I don't know if, and I honestly I don't know
because I haven't done much sports gambling and and I've
only used a bookie like twice in my life, and
that was for who's gonna win, who's gonna lose?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Can you do that sort of prop bet with a
bookie these days? I don't even know anyway. Micro fixing
they're calling it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Have you ever known anybody, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Spot fixing and the second Major League Baseball player has
now been suspended under suspicion of it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Have you ever known anybody who was super into sports betting?
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, like Norm McDonald level into sports betting site, really
like really into.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
It, addicted ruining their lives or just like you know,
I've known a handful of people who are very enthusiastic
about it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Did they mostly win? Or because there is some skill
involved in sports betting, or at least there used to
be pre ai, I don't know about now.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I've never realized if you did enough homework you had
some knowledge of what's most likely to happen. That might
not fit with the line as it comes out.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well right, yeah, because the line is all about what
the world thinks. And if you are more knowledgeable and
savvy or informed than the world, yeah, you ought to
be able to, you know, theoretically win more than you lose.
All the house cares about is equal bets on each
side of the equation. That's all they care about. Then
(26:27):
they take the vig from everybody and they win.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Now. Was at a big casino the other night. I
hadn't met in one a long time, and man, people
sitting there shoveling money into those machines on a beautiful evening.
I just I don't get it. I mean, if that's
if you enjoyed it, So if.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
The weather's foul, it's okay.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Or what.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I enjoy things you probably think would stupid. But just
I look at that and I think, what the hell
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah? I did that. I was in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I don't do it much, have just done it really once,
maybe twice, for like a couple hours. But anyway, I
was there with a bunch of college buy and we
were eating and drinking and carrying on. And I think
it was the NCAA tournament and we were there at
the sports book and it was it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Was great fun.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, that's different than shoving shoveling money into a machine
that set the dole out of sort amount in the
casino was Bill talking about that you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Love machines, and Soffer I hadn't realized.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
We moved on from all there were different kinds of machines.
I was just watching all the people. I mean, it
was packed full of people on a gorgeous summer evening
inside in the dark, in smoke because it can smoke
there shoveling money into these machines, that just seems insane
to me. You can do whatever you want as long
as you don't end up with any of my taxpayer
dollars if you uh decide you spent more money than
(27:38):
you should have.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
But there's no way to guarantee that. Is there such
a thing as spot fixing? Like betting on a talk show?
Will Joe Getty's first attempt at humor land or not
be subjective? Because I would throw that in a minute
for the right, you know, dollar figures. If there's any
mobsters out there listening, we will finish Strong.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Next Armstrong and Getty, we begin with the backlash of
our new ad campaign featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
Yeah, the ads are for American Eagle and the tagline
is Sidney Sweeney has great genes Now. In one ad,
the blonde hair, blue eyed actress talks about genes as
in DNA, being passed down from her parents.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
The play on words is being compared to.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Nazi propaganda with racial undertones.
Speaker 9 (28:30):
The pun is good genes activates a troubling historical associations
for this country. The American eugenics movement and it's prime
between like nineteen hundred and nineteen forty, weaponized the idea
of good genes just to justify white supremacism.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
No, despite that backlash, American eagle stock has been soaring.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That was nobody's finding your crap anymore.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
That was some old lady professor about Eugenny or something
or other.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Sorry, old lady, nobody's buying that steam and pilot extrament anymore.
You scared people into saying, oh, okay, sure, yeah there
for a few years because people are afraid of losing
their jobs. No, you're full of crap. You're a crackpot.
Shut up.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
She's a gorgeous woman with an amazing body.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Do you think maybe that's what they're referring to, Yeah,
crack pot, I hope you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I guarantee I'm right.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That the whole making up controversies thing is dying all.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
In the hole.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
At least around a white supremacy critical theory thing, please.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, at least around political correctness. Have you seen the
ad there, Katie, I have, And this is so dumb.
It is so dumb, and so that old lady professor
there and their serious tones about it's the worst example
of our history of eugenics and white supremacy in this country.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And eugenics was part of the progressive movement of the day.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yes, Michael Hanson said he's been studying the ad most
of the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Did you remember Sidney Sweeney is the one who was
selling the bar soap with a little bit of her
bathwater in it? Not right? Yeah, Oh, so she has
an eye for getting attention, or her people do, because
that's two things in a row, soap with a little
of my bathwater that get in every late night comedian
made a joke, and then this thing is a controversy. Okay,
(30:28):
I see how she's working.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Hanson says, she has lingerie coming out as well.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
All right, probably reminds people of slavery or something I do.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I'm gonna make a joke then then contradict it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
But I wonder if her PR firm has like a
a a.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Bowlpen full of serious looking academics and they say, look,
we need we need you to say that the joke
about jeans is like reminiscent of the Nazis or something
like that, because we need to stir up some controversy.
And the old lady says, okay, all right, if you
want me to, I'll say that her. If she's under
the employee of the PR firm.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Her new line of lingerie, which reminds many of the
slave trade of the eighteenth century.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
What that's right, The underwear imported much as the slaves were, right, Yeah,
all right, moron, something to sleep in like slaves once
had to sleep in their beds after a long day.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Picking cotton, which not coincidently, I would think, is what
this lingerie is made of?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Cotton?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
It's a dog with salt.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
That's not much dumber than this, which is actually being
discussed on Good Morning America. Not much, My dumb example
is not much dumber then white supremacy and eugenics.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Outside of academia and the media, though, I'm telling you,
everybody's rolling their eyes at this. I have everybody who
has it, he says, I mean, you're pierced, hair dyed.
Gender bending online young militant woman community is a gast,
but they woke up aghast.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
So I feel like we're going through some sort of
churn that is going to lead us to some new
point on all of this sort of thing. And I'll
just be interested to see where we land, because I
think everybody's tired of what we have been doing for
a while. Yeah, and so I don't know where we're
(32:33):
going to land, nor I neither does anybody else.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
But getting back to that fabulous essay I read part
of earlier, this guy is talking about despite the veil
of critical thinking in colleges, for instance, it's really just
a subtle attempt to indoctrinate students with a simplistic but
intuitively satisfying progressive worldview.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Indeed, it applied this kind of.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Analysis to all sorts of sociological insights you with psychological topics.
Far from super seating my old stoner intuition in the university,
wasn't reinforcing it. I was learning to argue by analogy
rather than appealing to evidence.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm strong, I'm strong. You're ready with Katy Green and.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
Strong.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the
coupe to wrap up this show for the day.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Michaelangelow, our technical director, will lead us off. Michael, maybe
I should.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Sell some of my bathwater.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
It'd be maybe, you know, at the dollar store for
ninety nine cents or something new.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And what am I gonna do with it? Like put
it on the shelf to look.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
At or tell your friends about it?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Tell your friends about it.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Sell it Katie Green or Esteemed and Newswoman. As a
final thought, Katie.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Uh, you can go to Katie's corner and see the
smoking hot Sydney Sweeney, not the commercial.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I just put it up all right, fantastic stick Jack.
Final thought for.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Us, I am fatigued by the modern world. I have
just may have reached my limit of being able to
be amused by or interested in modern society. I think
I've hit the wall. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Oh, I get it. Yeah, you'll bounce back tomorrow though.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
So speaking of tomorrow, tomorrow's show, a couple of stories
I didn't get to that I really wanted to get to.
Speaker 2 (34:25):

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Plus grocery stores will soon change their prices hundreds of
times per day.
Speaker 1 (34:35):

clicks there for you.

Stoation, Foss claims on TV gunn NYC.
