Speaker 2 (00:21):
He Arms Drongo the from the studio scene Seal sing
or fry Ye.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We're in a dimly lit room deep from the bowels
of the Armstrong and Getdy Communications compound. Today we're under
the tutelage of Bauer, General Manager Global Anti Semites what not.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Very cheery, but I'm sur viewing all the attacks on
Jews around the world.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Europe aflame with this sort of thing. People get stabbed in.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
All right, It's gonna take me a while to get
into that mood. I was not in that.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, No, that's I just I'm telling you. I was
got you got another nominee.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I was a Yes, the Life of Showgirls, the new
Taylor Swift album that dropped at midnight last night. I
was up very late. Of course, I had to wait
for the Taylor Swift album, so I didn't get a
lot of sleep. But actually I did not get much sleep,
not because of that, but I did listen to the
Taylor Swift album on the way to work today. On Fridays,
I usually listen to music, and I was digging it.
(01:28):
She has got a I don't know what people like
her do. They have ability to make the pop song
sound bigger somehow or more layered. I don't know if
it's because she has the best producers in the world
working on them, or some talents she has or what.
But they don't sound like you know, the other wannabes.
They sound different for some reason.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Interesting. I'll have to give it a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The Rolling Stone gave it five stars out of five stars.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
What's Rolling Stone?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's a magazine that they used to print on the
magazine now it's a website.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Reason.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Anyway, I was reading the review in the Washington Post,
and you know what Taylor Swift's talent is, and everybody
knows this, but I was listening to the album on
the way here. You know, it's not my genre usually
that I listened to, So it's not the sort of
thing that I normally am just gonna throw on. But
for that sort of thing, it's like she's really good
at that. But her ability to write songs that I
(02:24):
can really see how if you're a teenage girl, it'd
be like, yeah, that's exactly what I'm feeling whether it's
the I just fell in love or I just broke up,
or I've got you know, my my frenemies in the
hallway that are posting nasty things about me online and
been talking. I saw him talking to my ex boyfriend
and just she you know, she's just funny somethings and
thirty somethings too. Oh yeah, my lover all, my nieces
(02:46):
are super into it, and they're all adults now. They
liked her when they were kids, but this, but Taylor
Swift with her life, which has got to be more
different than practically any life on earth outside of like
maybe Elon Musk and Mick Jagger. You can write songs
that average teenage girls said, That's exactly what I'm feeling.
That's a talent right there. I don't know how you
(03:08):
do that, but you know.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Weirdly enough, the other night, after watching my newses, I
was watching my music Geek hour long interviews with producers
talking about what sort of microphone they like to use
on the snare drum type videos. And for some reason,
after that one ended YouTube gave me Taylor Swift shake
it Off video, Yeah, which I don't quite get, but
(03:31):
it's a very very catchy pop song and she's you know, cute.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So I decided to watch it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Oh, by the way, now it might be an appropriate
time you're busy crafting her. I think her music sucks,
and I don't think she's that hot. Email don't bother, Please,
don't bother, good lord, anyway, but I watched it and
was reminded of her, her whole thing of I'm super
gorgeous and talented but secretly adore and just like you.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Exactly if I were to summarize her holding yep.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That is it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
That is exactly it. And that's a lot of that
in the new album too. And the other side of
that coin is, hey, audience, you're just like me.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, And you know, in reality, heartbreak is heartbreak, whether
you're a billionaire or not. So you know, if you
can write about it, it's relatable to anyone. I suppose
it's just you know, you just you're you just flew
away from your boyfriend for the last time on a
private jet as opposed to took the subway, you know,
or whatever, but the same feelings. I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He accidentally sat in someone's spit.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yeah it's yeah, yeah, it is on the other hand,
you know, and this is more Taylor Swift talk than
I intended to get into today, but you duped me. H.
The Yes, I'm rich and famous now and I'm glammed up,
but I'm a dork just like you. Is a much
more realistic view of quote unquote stars. Oh, these standard
(05:04):
they're superhuman celebrities who must be worshiped.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's a very good point. It's a completely accurate they are.
You know, we've met a few celebrities with this job,
and uh, obviously people are just people. Yeah, yeah, that's
a that's a good point. Anyway. So we're in government
shut down day three, so it's a little tough. I'm
trying to put off talking because I get so emotional.
(05:30):
I know that about me. We gotta light all the candles, Michael.
They burnt out overnight. We got to get all the candles.
I get some matches. Yes, we light candles to uh,
I don't know. We're all we're all praying that the
Department of Interior being shut down for three days is
somehow not going to I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What do they do ill During commercial breaks, we form
a circle and we all hold hands and we sing
we Shall.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Overcome and all the all the old songs, Pete Seeger songs.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So they're gonna vote today probably, and there's no indication
that anybody any more Democrats are going to flake. So
it's going to go down. And the guy who runs
the Senate said, we're not going to vote over the weekend,
so it'll be at least Monday, Monday at the earliest
that they'll be able to get it open back up again.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Too bad, I'd planned on breathlessly following the proceedings over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, you know the media is going to I won't.
I won't follow it. I'll bet you The Sunday talk
shows all lead with government shut down, with the hilarious
lack of realization that nobody else cares.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely true. Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
They will lead with it with TikTok updates as if
everybody's hanging on every word. How can they be so
out of touch? Get on a bus, go to a
real town, sit in a diner, see how many people
are talking about the government shutdown. Just do it, any
of you good by.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Sit down at the counter and say how about that
government shutdown? Just wait to hear what they say. Oh yeah, yeah,
I guess I heard about if they've heard about it
at all? Right, all right, yeah, we should.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Start the show officially. And there's man, there's some interesting
stuff today. I took a bunch of AI information yesterday,
and then coincidentally, there's some AI news out today. For instance,
open Ai, that company that has chat GPT just hit
five hundred billion dollars, the most valuable privately owned company
in the world. And there's a great article in Washington
(07:25):
Post about is this a bubble that's super interesting and
uh and frightening af No, we'll get to that. Let's go,
but we need to start the show. I'm Jack Armstrong.
He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, October third,
the year twenty twenty five, where Armstrong is getting we
approve of this program.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
All right, then let's jump into action. Precisely according to
FCC Rules of Regulations. The show starts at mark Insulin.
Was people weren't taking it, I would imagine that they
couldn't take it. God bless you brought me. Oh but
I didn't catch COVID just there.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tell me he's got.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Give me give me a packtion of it immediately, and
you got people in masks outdoors alone in the blue
areas of the country who still, in a weird way
worship COVID is their god, certainly is the symbol of
their god.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
My son, my youngest, had a really bad sore throat
last night. He said, this is the worst sore throat
I've ever had. So I googled what the latest variant is.
It's called I looked it up. It doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Life of a show Girl.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's called Life of a show Girl. It's the latest
COVID variant.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, Taylor Swift has formed a promotional tie in with
the Corona.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Taylor Swift is so big and so powerful. Yes, but
the new coronavirus variant is named for her album.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But she has agreement Swiss Target stores, Anheuser Busch and Covid.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That is funny. But anyway, there's a new one out
there and the most dominant one. He can get his
sore throat. But I don't know if he got that
or not. Who knows, And if he did, what am I.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Going to do about it? It is? It is what
it is.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
The thing about the AI bubble, though, is really super
interesting stuff. We've been talking about this how the stock
market set and records constantly. There's like five stocks driving
the whole thing. And Washington Post broke down the percentage
of all the revenue and growth of everything that has
happened in recent times, and how it's so incredibly narrow,
(09:37):
and how it all could just be all of them
trading money to each other. Oh boy, yeah, which is
really something, Oh boy, yeah, no kidding, Oh boy, oh boy.
I got a couple of calls they need to make
his business. I don't know if they're right or not,
but who knows. And then some other interesting stuff about
(09:59):
when a I might be coming that'd be artificial super intelligence,
which is the next step beyond artificial general intelligence when
things get really wacky, which is either gonna happen never
or in two or three years.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
In the ask, Oh my god, I've given up trying
to swim against these currents. I'm just gonna float downstream
and take in the scenery. I don't know what to
think about any of this stuff, Honestly.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't know if there's much you could do about it,
unless unless, like you think you ought to vote for
people who would be in Congress who were in favor
of passing laws, blah blah blah. But I don't know
if there's a head of esteem for that.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
It just all seems so big and full of conflicting
descriptions and opinions, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Well, yeah, and according to most of the experts, if
it ever does happen, if it ever takes off, it'll
be out of our hands very quickly. Then it'll be
the computers doing whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And harvesting our organs, training our vital juices.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Or doing whatever. Or the example I keep hearing brought
up before we take a break is when human beings
decide they need to build a building somewhere. You know,
they're tons of ants on that ground and mice, all
kinds of different living beasts, but we don't worry about that.
(11:19):
We just roll the bulldozers in and build the building
because we think that needs to happen. And AI could
treat us the way we treat ants when we build
a building. Oh my, they've got something they need to do,
and we're just you know, kind of an in the way. Afterthought,
it's really not that it will make more of ourselves
just like ants. Yeah, or you just don't really even
think about it.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
On the other hand, what if they achieve that artificial
superintelligence and the computers for reasons that we cannot comprehend,
they just become obsessed with, say, tennis, building tennis robots
better and better tennis robots, and they just completely obsess
over tennis.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Who knows somehow like their hallucination is the most important
thing on planet Earth is tennis.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And you can't play tennis anymore because there's robots on
every court. But other than that, it's fine, better balls,
better rackets, right, more courts in every town.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We have developed a new ball that moves that. Okay, right,
everybody cares. That's pretty funny. Okay, we got Katie's headlines
on the way lots of other stuff stay here. You know, Katie,
you haven't had a chance to criticize me for this, Yes,
you know, Katie. I was just having a conversation with
the news director out there. She said, which song is
(12:38):
your favorite song? Because we both were listening to the
Taylor Swift album on the way to work. It's been
out for a couple hours. Nobody else comes close to
being able to do that in the modern world of music,
having music come out and you have people conversing about
the songs within hours of its launch, and I just
I'm just fascinated by the phenomenon. Albums don't even really
(12:58):
exist anymore. Yeah, I'm fascinated by it too. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I like Taylor Swift when I was in high school,
but I haven't really stuck with her.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But hey, there's no denying that she's got some massive talent,
some some magic going on, and business business wise too. Mean,
just you could ignore the music and just study your
business acumen.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I remember back when Madonna was huge, I was much
more interested in her entrepreneurial skills than her bubbs or
her songs.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't feel like Madonna can hold a candle to
Taylor Swift though, in terms of the craftsmanship.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Different league. Yeah, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with Katy Green, Katie, what's happening?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Starting with ABC News. US is engaged in formal armed
conflict with terrorist drug cartels.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
According to Trump, Yeah, Trump said a lender Congress, we
are at war with the drug cartels.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
There's reporting it's from the New York Times and anonymous
sources that there were members of both parties highly questioning
that behind the Yeah, senators of both sides saying that
the legal basis for this seems a little shaky. From
Folk from Fox News.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
White House memo says Democrats plan could spend two hundred
billion dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, we need to talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
There's one point that the Republicans are starting to get
nervous on, allegedly during the shutdown. Boy, and if they
give on this, it's the end of our experiments in
self governance.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's Yeah, it's highly troubling. I read that
too from the Free Beacon.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
University of Delaware student run TV network offers quote special thanks.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
To Charlie Kirk's Killer Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
School also houses the Biden Institute.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm telling you that peace.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I read you part of yesterday from Bart and Swim
really opened my eyes that a lot of the attitudes
that explained lefty violence are quite mainstream on the left.
You look at right wing violence, it's lunatics you don't
believe anything conservatives believe.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
But lefties they're straight out of campus.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
They're repeating what their professors have told them and using
the justifications for violence that their professors taught them.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
This one from The Daily Mail, Dave Chappelle says he
has more quote free speech in Saudi Arabia than in
the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
You've gotta be kidding. I like Dave Chappelle, but that's
a real ridiculous comment to make. And he's one of
the comedians. He's one of the comedians that took a
giant paycheck to go to perform for slave holding women's
stoning rapists. While Dave Chappelle is all about social justice
and all right.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well, but you know you did your transgender oaks and
the people yelled and screamed and tried to cancel you
and they've failed and you made fun of them.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But that's your lack of freedom of speech. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
that incredibly talented guy say.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And let's let's take it out of context. I'll wait
for context from the Times. Forget youthful brilliance. The human
mind actually piques at age sixty. Yes, no, that's bad news.
I'm sixty. I'm downhill from here, that's all. I don't
know if that's true.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
From the New York Post Egyptian wrestler pulls seven hundred
ton ship.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
With only his teeth. Yeah, we had that joke yesterday.
That's a good trick.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Good for you.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, wow wow, that's you know, it really restores your
faith in humanity. Somebody can pull a boat that big
with his teeth.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Chimney And finally from the Babylon b Chimp's honor, Jane
Goodall with twenty one.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Poosel Oh, I get it. So we have some breaking
news it's worth talking about as soon as we come back.
Barry Weiss named top editor at CBS News. This could
be a big deal for one of your legacy news outlets.
I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Maybe stay tuned. Oh I'm not no, no Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I complete, I completely forgot. I completely forgot. Yep, too
much Taylor Swift, not enough paying attention to the Friday schedule.
So much to come. I hope I've learned a lesson.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Including if the Republican's cave on this, the republic is over.
But right now, in spite of Jack's carelessness, it's time
for Friday tradition. Let's take fun look back at the
week that was It's cow clips of the week. Cows
are good, cows are neat, but this cow is in
made of me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It's clips of the week. The Americans bracing for a
government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It's the final town.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because
of all of our woke trans bolt.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's a disgusting video. And is it helpful?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Is post pictures of leader Jeff Vies and a sombrero.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh, I think it's funny.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I make this solemn promise to you that if you
help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.
You see, you should eat with the Italians, and you
should drink with the artist. Charlie Norwood is an AI
generated actress gaining attention and drawing swift backlash because I
(18:58):
was feeling good. Well, that feels good. Look out this
may lead the part. Wow, Oh Toddie. Second of the night.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Today's show is brought to you by the official animal
of Long Island, tis Ticks.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get it off me, get it off me. Despite all
we've achieved, I cannot continue my re election campaign. So
let's go to Oregon, where antifa radical left anarchists are
causing chaos in that city.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
We're under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
How about we all come together and say let's stop murders.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How about we all come together and say let's stop
attacking pedophiles.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. Yeah,
brook about your shirt. We became the Woke Department, but
not anymore. No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
We are done with that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Well, the whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Or no to this deal here.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
This can be done the easy way, or it can
be done the hard way, but it will be done.
I have a feeling that we're going to have a
positive answer.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Arab leaders like dealing with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
They say he understands us, We understand him as you know,
maybe you'd have mar full backing to do what you
would have to do. You know what we got to
figure out for as a rule for clips of the
week is like practically every week now we have somebody
(20:47):
in an ai voice. And if you weren't around originally
when we played it, you had obviously been misled that
that's what Trump persumer or whoever we're playing actually said,
which is one of the problem with the whole AI thing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, the solution is simple, listen to every minute of
the show every week. There you go. I'm a problem solver.
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm flipping through that. It remains to be seen whether
Hamas will agree.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I'm flipping through the New York Times and nothing. Nothing.
There's no headline, there's no follow up, there's no.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Cuttery authorities say on the story. Yeah, one quick thing
before we get into the news. Does anybody have the
Sora code? So a brand new app just came out.
It's a it's a it's a social media app made
by open Ai. It's all AI generated. There are no
(21:45):
real humans or anything like that. It's all AI videos,
AI voices, AI everything. But you have to have an
invitation for somebody that's already a user to get on it.
I downloaded the app. I know we have enough people
listening in the Silicon Valley. Somebody's got the code. Send
me the code so I can get on the app,
all right? On a text line four one five two
nine five KFTC, who's got the Sora code? Text line
(22:08):
four one five two nine five KFTC. Now, we have
talked about Barry Weiss a lot over quite a few
years now. She was hired at the New York Times
in the opinion room as if they were trying to
get more conservative voices. And while she is conservative on
a number of issues, she's also a gay woman married
(22:28):
to another woman. She's pro choice, she's a whole bunch
of things that don't fit in always with what is conservative.
She's very pro Israel, she's very she's very pro free speech.
She's she's a lot of things that we tend to like.
But anyway, she said she was getting bullied so much
in the newsroom at New York Times that she resigned,
(22:50):
and then she went off and started her own gig,
Free Press, and it has been incredibly successful. She hired
a whole bunch of different journalists. She's done some absolutely
amazing journalism in the last however many years it is
for five years.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
And old school journalism. She calls out both sides, tells
it as she sees it, as do her people.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of her all the way around.
And so the news had been bubbling for a while
now that she was that CBS was looking to paramount Skydance,
which owns CBS, was looking to buy the Free Press for.
Originally the number was a couple hundred million dollars. Well,
the news just broke. Barry Weiss will be named top
(23:33):
editor at CBS News and they have purchased free Press
for one hundred and fifty million in cash and stock,
and also naming Weis to the CBS News's top editorial job.
CBS also recently hired a conservative leaning album Budsman, to
field complaints about the network's editorial coverage. As they are
(23:55):
trying to go they say, trying to go more what
they should have been all along middle of the road. Yeah,
I'm curious to you. That's not the right turn. Middle
of the road. Honest, you don't have to be the
middle of the road. If four stories in a row
break in the direction of the conservatives are wrong, feel
free to report it that way. Sure, but yeah, you know,
(24:15):
just report what's happening. Yeah, it always uh hmmm, I
was gonna say a nooise. It doesn't annoy me. People say,
you guys are right down the middle, and I know
what you mean. We try to be fair, but oh no,
I'm an avowed conservative and proud of it. But anyway,
i'd be curious to hear, and I'm sure I will
hear from Barry Weiss why she and the crew went
(24:35):
down this path or generational wealth. Uh, certainly, I doubt
that's attractive.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Off I doubt that's it.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
She is doing pretty well and she's got a Well,
that's why I'm so curious, because the free press doesn't
need paramount. Skaddans is CBS is completely irrelevant compared to
the free press. You think so, in my opinion, And
if it isn't true today, it will be in five years. Oh,
look at the demographics of who watches CBS News and
(25:05):
who logs onto their website or whatever. It's it's just
it's it's clearly going down as the way. Do you
think that's going on. Do you think that's because of that?
I mean, there's no denying that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But do you think that is because of the medium
or because they got such a tarnish on them? She
might think, well, we can rescue this medium. Television is
still fine if it's if people get the idea that
that someplace they can go to to get a you know,
a decent shake on a news story.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, I have a feeling that Paramount sold her on
the idea of complete editorial independence.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm sure that was part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Absolutely, there's no way she would take that job or
she'll she'll loudly scream if she gets overruled on something,
she'll quit right right.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But also the all of the resources of you know,
See News and Paramount sky Dance and the rest of it,
whatever those happen to be.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh my, got it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
An I'm a little worried.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It's like my favorite indie band that I worship, just
got you know, signed to Columbia Records back in the day,
and the producer is known for the top pop hits
of the day has been signed to work with them.
But ye see, your idea about resources could be a
lot of it. I mean, when you're the person in
(26:27):
charge of news direction and you have all of the
tools that exist with sixty minutes for instance, and covering stories.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
All around the world, holy crap.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Well, and I'm sure she can go to her bosses
and say, hey, we want to do a documentary on X.
It's going to be ninety minutes long, and we figure
it'll cost ten million dollars and they'll say do it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, I'll tell you what. With her in charge, there's
no way sixty Minutes is going to do some of
the ridiculously biased stories they've done about the whole Israel
Palestinian thing over the last few.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Years, whole lefty takeover of the media newsrooms all across America.
We've witnessed it personally. This could be a major moment
in it being rolled back where it ends. Nobody knows,
but it's intriguing.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, And there's just unlike you said, there's no way
she keeps her mouth shut if for some reason she
runs up against them not letting her do it the
way she wants to do it right, right, Yeah, I
guess the thing that keeps sticking with me, and you
have more affection for CBS and sixty minutes and stuff
than I.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Do, is all of that just seems irrelevant now. But again, parent,
Mount Skydance is a big company.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You might be right, and I might be fighting against
the tide of time, or the tide of time has
already overwhelmed me and I'm at the bottom of the
sea and I don't even realize it. But man, there
are all these other different you know, podcasts and YouTube
channels and substacked sort of things whenever like that, but
nobody has the resources to go do a big, long
(27:54):
piece story in the Middle East still, like the New
York Times or CBS or the bigfoot media. They just
don't do it. It's true.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
If we lose all that and everybody and it's all
just people alone in their apartments type and away.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I don't know if that's the best thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, Speaking of the battle front over progressive control, we
have a campus madness update coming up later in the show.
I'm telling you, the only thing that I believe has
been accomplished on college campuses is that we've forced some
of the maniacs into a defensive crouch and or a
(28:37):
strategic show of compliance just until the bad weather passes.
The bad weather being the Trump administration and the attention
of conservative America. The wildly angry, crazy left is still
firmly in charge of our educational systems top to bottom.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Need to admit something, and I'm highly embarrassed about.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Oh no, I tursh it's good for the soul.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I turned off the football game. I thought it was over.
I had no idea went in.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Over the forty nine ers Rams.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I had no idea went in overtime. I checked the
score at some point and I thought, okay, that's firmly
in hand, and then gave up. I didn't. I didn't,
I didn't. Man, it sounds like it was freaking fantastic.
Shame on you, sha all time great Thursday night division
for the division sort of game.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Good.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
If it was a movie, I'd walked out of the
theater saying that script was a bit much.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Damn it. I can't believe I haven't recorded. Can I
still enjoy it? Maybe? Oh you can.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's it's insane, damn it. It was unbelievable. Yeah, oh sorry,
Rams fans don't mean to gloat. And and my cubi's no,
I'm wearing my old school Cubs T shirt here, not
plain lettering the gray and a simple Cub patch on
my left s.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Old Hanson, as a longtime Podres fan, says there was
a bogus third strike call that led to the Podreys loosing.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yes, but it was at a critical moment, so oh
that makes it worse. Sorry, Yeah, it was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It was a bad call.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Oh, that's totally totally miss. That's a good argument for
the computer's coming in, I guess, or a good argument
for protecting the plate on a three and two count.
What do you got that bat in your hands for?
You're not gonna swing it? Huh? You gott to guard
the plate a while. Wow, Joe the little league coach
coming out. We've got mail bag on the way and
lots of news. Stay here. Got some seriously interesting AI
(30:37):
stuff that I can't wait to get to. There's some
seriously frightening Russia, Ukraine, NATO US stuff. That thing is
about to get way hotter, I think as a global
story anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Uh more on that later.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Neil Ferguson wrote a great piece for the Free Press
entitled the future of wars here in Europe is not
ready for it.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And we can dive into that when we discussed that
right now.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Controversial from Brendan O'Neill, the Irish writer. Ladies Irish or
does he just sound Irish? Brendan O'Neill Walley was a
certainly Irish family, and they're good folks. Many high status
women have giddaly sacrificed solidarity with their own sex on
(31:29):
the altar of validating the delusional identities of men in dresses.
They betrayed womankind so that they might gain access to
the rarefied realm of elite opinion, moral treachery masquerading his progressivism.
There you go, some good writing right there, mail Bag.
I have much to say about that, but another time.
(31:50):
Feel free to reach out. Mail Bag at Armstrong and
Geeddy dot com is the email addressed. And now this
is a good idea, a really good idea. I hesitate
to read it because the show is going to go
down the tubes, because the executive producer Hanson is going
to spend all of his time on this project. Sean's suggestion,
you have to have hands and make an ai we
(32:10):
are the World type song to raise money for the
government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Puny, oh boy, let's see moving along.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
A nice note from Sarah on media silos the high
school edition, Unplug the Internet, bring back objective newspaper journalism,
and then encyclopedia. She writes, My daughter is in her
senior year public high school in New Jersey, taking an
ap government class. She was asked to choose a political
topic and write a persuasive essay, he's either from the
Democratic or the Republican viewpoint. As both her parents are
(32:44):
on the conservative ends, she chose to try to write
something from the Republican viewpoint, only to be frustrated.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Everywhere she looked.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Google's AI, as well as most sites that were prompted
by her searches, never gave any actual information as to
the Republican viewpoint. Instead, they mainly gave the Democratic viewpoint
and then the Democrats view of what the Republicans think, right,
which is what you get out.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You can understand why the AI would do that, because
that's what all mainstream journalism is and that's where it's
getting its information.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She finally had to involve her brother, who writes papers
for a conservative view university. Yes, there are a couple
left in doing some of the research, so she could
find legitimate sites that she could use as sources. Several
of the sites he offered she could not even access
from her school issued computer.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
They were forbidden.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Wow, that's all they were mainstream conservative journalism.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Eon was talking the other day about having groc rewrite Wikipedia,
some sort of Grokipedia you could go to where it's
more fair imbalanced.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, Yeah, got some interesting stuff on one of the
founders of Wikipedia's trying to save it from becoming a
progressive hell hole. But maybe later I thought this was
amusing given the previous email. It's from the good folks
at CNN. They're asking me to stand with fact focused
journe We share your belief in the truth, power, essential journalism,
(34:05):
and a time when it matters most.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
And they want me to subscribe to some CNN web service.
And that's why we have nine panelists on every story,
all with the same view, and one token conservative that
we scream at like he's a Nazi. Exactly tied in
all of the above.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Jason Wrights, Oh, so AI is awesome, right, pick your
favorite AI app, Ask it to create an image of
a watch with the hour and minute hand anywhere. Tell
it what time you want analog watch, not digital. No
matter what time you select, the image will be set
to ten ten, No matter what the reason is that most,
if not all, online picks of watches are ads and.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
All are set to ten ten.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
They feel like it looks the best to show off
the watch, so AI has nothing to train on other
than that one.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
It's fascinating, and of course the point is not the
watch picture. It's just that that's what it does with everything. Yeah,
that is so quite actly.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's pretty.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
It can create a meal plan for my dad with
colon cancer, but can't even tell time. That's really interesting.
Jason oh Man, we're out of time, got so much
good stuff. Barry from Thailand wants to know someone please
tell me what's the big deal with the Nobel Peace Prize.
It's an absolute fraud. Many of its recipients had nothing
to do with peace, and I wish Trump wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Obsess over it.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, he thinks it'd look cool. I hang it on
his wall or on his desk or whatever. We got
three more hours. If you miss any segment, get the
podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jettie and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
He Arms Drongo the from the studio scene Seal sing
or fry Ye.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We're in a dimly lit room deep from the bowels
of the Armstrong and Getdy Communications compound. Today we're under
the tutelage of Bauer, General Manager Global Anti Semites what not.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Very cheery, but I'm sur viewing all the attacks on
Jews around the world.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Europe aflame with this sort of thing. People get stabbed in.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
All right, It's gonna take me a while to get
into that mood. I was not in that.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
No, No, that's I just I'm telling you. I was
got you got another nominee.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I was a Yes, the Life of Showgirls, the new
Taylor Swift album that dropped at midnight last night. I
was up very late. Of course, I had to wait
for the Taylor Swift album, so I didn't get a
lot of sleep. But actually I did not get much sleep,
not because of that, but I did listen to the
Taylor Swift album on the way to work today. On Fridays,
I usually listen to music, and I was digging it.
(01:28):
She has got a I don't know what people like
her do. They have ability to make the pop song
sound bigger somehow or more layered. I don't know if
it's because she has the best producers in the world
working on them, or some talents she has or what.
But they don't sound like you know, the other wannabes.
They sound different for some reason.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Interesting. I'll have to give it a listen.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The Rolling Stone gave it five stars out of five stars.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
What's Rolling Stone?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's a magazine that they used to print on the
magazine now it's a website.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Reason.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Anyway, I was reading the review in the Washington Post,
and you know what Taylor Swift's talent is, and everybody
knows this, but I was listening to the album on
the way here. You know, it's not my genre usually
that I listened to, So it's not the sort of
thing that I normally am just gonna throw on. But
for that sort of thing, it's like she's really good
at that. But her ability to write songs that I
(02:24):
can really see how if you're a teenage girl, it'd
be like, yeah, that's exactly what I'm feeling whether it's
the I just fell in love or I just broke up,
or I've got you know, my my frenemies in the
hallway that are posting nasty things about me online and
been talking. I saw him talking to my ex boyfriend
and just she you know, she's just funny somethings and
thirty somethings too. Oh yeah, my lover all, my nieces
(02:46):
are super into it, and they're all adults now. They
liked her when they were kids, but this, but Taylor
Swift with her life, which has got to be more
different than practically any life on earth outside of like
maybe Elon Musk and Mick Jagger. You can write songs
that average teenage girls said, That's exactly what I'm feeling.
That's a talent right there. I don't know how you
(03:08):
do that, but you know.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Weirdly enough, the other night, after watching my newses, I
was watching my music Geek hour long interviews with producers
talking about what sort of microphone they like to use
on the snare drum type videos. And for some reason,
after that one ended YouTube gave me Taylor Swift shake
it Off video, Yeah, which I don't quite get, but
(03:31):
it's a very very catchy pop song and she's you know, cute.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So I decided to watch it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Oh, by the way, now it might be an appropriate
time you're busy crafting her. I think her music sucks,
and I don't think she's that hot. Email don't bother, Please,
don't bother, good lord, anyway, but I watched it and
was reminded of her, her whole thing of I'm super
gorgeous and talented but secretly adore and just like you.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Exactly if I were to summarize her holding yep.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
That is it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
That is exactly it. And that's a lot of that
in the new album too. And the other side of
that coin is, hey, audience, you're just like me.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, And you know, in reality, heartbreak is heartbreak, whether
you're a billionaire or not. So you know, if you
can write about it, it's relatable to anyone. I suppose
it's just you know, you just you're you just flew
away from your boyfriend for the last time on a
private jet as opposed to took the subway, you know,
or whatever, but the same feelings. I agree.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He accidentally sat in someone's spit.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yeah it's yeah, yeah, it is on the other hand,
you know, and this is more Taylor Swift talk than
I intended to get into today, but you duped me. H.
The Yes, I'm rich and famous now and I'm glammed up,
but I'm a dork just like you. Is a much
more realistic view of quote unquote stars. Oh, these standard
(05:04):
they're superhuman celebrities who must be worshiped.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
That's a very good point. It's a completely accurate they are.
You know, we've met a few celebrities with this job,
and uh, obviously people are just people. Yeah, yeah, that's
a that's a good point. Anyway. So we're in government
shut down day three, so it's a little tough. I'm
trying to put off talking because I get so emotional.
(05:30):
I know that about me. We gotta light all the candles, Michael.
They burnt out overnight. We got to get all the candles.
I get some matches. Yes, we light candles to uh,
I don't know. We're all we're all praying that the
Department of Interior being shut down for three days is
somehow not going to I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What do they do ill During commercial breaks, we form
a circle and we all hold hands and we sing
we Shall.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Overcome and all the all the old songs, Pete Seeger songs.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So they're gonna vote today probably, and there's no indication
that anybody any more Democrats are going to flake. So
it's going to go down. And the guy who runs
the Senate said, we're not going to vote over the weekend,
so it'll be at least Monday, Monday at the earliest
that they'll be able to get it open back up again.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Too bad, I'd planned on breathlessly following the proceedings over
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, you know the media is going to I won't.
I won't follow it. I'll bet you The Sunday talk
shows all lead with government shut down, with the hilarious
lack of realization that nobody else cares.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely true. Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
They will lead with it with TikTok updates as if
everybody's hanging on every word. How can they be so
out of touch? Get on a bus, go to a
real town, sit in a diner, see how many people
are talking about the government shutdown. Just do it, any
of you good by.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Sit down at the counter and say how about that
government shutdown? Just wait to hear what they say. Oh yeah, yeah,
I guess I heard about if they've heard about it
at all? Right, all right, yeah, we should.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Start the show officially. And there's man, there's some interesting
stuff today. I took a bunch of AI information yesterday,
and then coincidentally, there's some AI news out today. For instance,
open Ai, that company that has chat GPT just hit
five hundred billion dollars, the most valuable privately owned company
in the world. And there's a great article in Washington
(07:25):
Post about is this a bubble that's super interesting and
uh and frightening af No, we'll get to that. Let's go,
but we need to start the show. I'm Jack Armstrong.
He's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, October third,
the year twenty twenty five, where Armstrong is getting we
approve of this program.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
All right, then let's jump into action. Precisely according to
FCC Rules of Regulations. The show starts at mark Insulin.
Was people weren't taking it, I would imagine that they
couldn't take it. God bless you brought me. Oh but
I didn't catch COVID just there.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tell me he's got.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Give me give me a packtion of it immediately, and
you got people in masks outdoors alone in the blue
areas of the country who still, in a weird way
worship COVID is their god, certainly is the symbol of
their god.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
My son, my youngest, had a really bad sore throat
last night. He said, this is the worst sore throat
I've ever had. So I googled what the latest variant is.
It's called I looked it up. It doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Life of a show Girl.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It's called Life of a show Girl. It's the latest
COVID variant.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, Taylor Swift has formed a promotional tie in with
the Corona.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Taylor Swift is so big and so powerful. Yes, but
the new coronavirus variant is named for her album.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But she has agreement Swiss Target stores, Anheuser Busch and Covid.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
That is funny. But anyway, there's a new one out
there and the most dominant one. He can get his
sore throat. But I don't know if he got that
or not. Who knows, And if he did, what am I.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Going to do about it? It is? It is what
it is.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
The thing about the AI bubble, though, is really super
interesting stuff. We've been talking about this how the stock
market set and records constantly. There's like five stocks driving
the whole thing. And Washington Post broke down the percentage
of all the revenue and growth of everything that has
happened in recent times, and how it's so incredibly narrow,
(09:37):
and how it all could just be all of them
trading money to each other. Oh boy, yeah, which is
really something, Oh boy, yeah, no kidding, Oh boy, oh boy.
I got a couple of calls they need to make
his business. I don't know if they're right or not,
but who knows. And then some other interesting stuff about
(09:59):
when a I might be coming that'd be artificial super intelligence,
which is the next step beyond artificial general intelligence when
things get really wacky, which is either gonna happen never
or in two or three years.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
In the ask, Oh my god, I've given up trying
to swim against these currents. I'm just gonna float downstream
and take in the scenery. I don't know what to
think about any of this stuff, Honestly.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I don't know if there's much you could do about it,
unless unless, like you think you ought to vote for
people who would be in Congress who were in favor
of passing laws, blah blah blah. But I don't know
if there's a head of esteem for that.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
It just all seems so big and full of conflicting
descriptions and opinions, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Well, yeah, and according to most of the experts, if
it ever does happen, if it ever takes off, it'll
be out of our hands very quickly. Then it'll be
the computers doing whatever they're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And harvesting our organs, training our vital juices.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Or doing whatever. Or the example I keep hearing brought
up before we take a break is when human beings
decide they need to build a building somewhere. You know,
they're tons of ants on that ground and mice, all
kinds of different living beasts, but we don't worry about that.
(11:19):
We just roll the bulldozers in and build the building
because we think that needs to happen. And AI could
treat us the way we treat ants when we build
a building. Oh my, they've got something they need to do,
and we're just you know, kind of an in the way. Afterthought,
it's really not that it will make more of ourselves
just like ants. Yeah, or you just don't really even
think about it.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
On the other hand, what if they achieve that artificial
superintelligence and the computers for reasons that we cannot comprehend,
they just become obsessed with, say, tennis, building tennis robots
better and better tennis robots, and they just completely obsess
over tennis.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Who knows somehow like their hallucination is the most important
thing on planet Earth is tennis.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And you can't play tennis anymore because there's robots on
every court. But other than that, it's fine, better balls,
better rackets, right, more courts in every town.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
We have developed a new ball that moves that. Okay, right,
everybody cares. That's pretty funny. Okay, we got Katie's headlines
on the way lots of other stuff stay here. You know, Katie,
you haven't had a chance to criticize me for this, Yes,
you know, Katie. I was just having a conversation with
the news director out there. She said, which song is
(12:38):
your favorite song? Because we both were listening to the
Taylor Swift album on the way to work. It's been
out for a couple hours. Nobody else comes close to
being able to do that in the modern world of music,
having music come out and you have people conversing about
the songs within hours of its launch, and I just
I'm just fascinated by the phenomenon. Albums don't even really
(12:58):
exist anymore. Yeah, I'm fascinated by it too. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I like Taylor Swift when I was in high school,
but I haven't really stuck with her.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But hey, there's no denying that she's got some massive talent,
some some magic going on, and business business wise too. Mean,
just you could ignore the music and just study your
business acumen.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I remember back when Madonna was huge, I was much
more interested in her entrepreneurial skills than her bubbs or
her songs.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I don't feel like Madonna can hold a candle to
Taylor Swift though, in terms of the craftsmanship.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Different league. Yeah, all right, let's figure out who's reporting what.
It's the lead story with Katy Green, Katie, what's happening?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
All right?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Starting with ABC News. US is engaged in formal armed
conflict with terrorist drug cartels.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
According to Trump, Yeah, Trump said a lender Congress, we
are at war with the drug cartels.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
There's reporting it's from the New York Times and anonymous
sources that there were members of both parties highly questioning
that behind the Yeah, senators of both sides saying that
the legal basis for this seems a little shaky. From
Folk from Fox News.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
White House memo says Democrats plan could spend two hundred
billion dollars on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, we need to talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
There's one point that the Republicans are starting to get
nervous on, allegedly during the shutdown. Boy, and if they
give on this, it's the end of our experiments in
self governance.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's Yeah, it's highly troubling. I read that
too from the Free Beacon.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
University of Delaware student run TV network offers quote special thanks.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
To Charlie Kirk's Killer Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
School also houses the Biden Institute.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm telling you that peace.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I read you part of yesterday from Bart and Swim
really opened my eyes that a lot of the attitudes
that explained lefty violence are quite mainstream on the left.
You look at right wing violence, it's lunatics you don't
believe anything conservatives believe.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
But lefties they're straight out of campus.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
They're repeating what their professors have told them and using
the justifications for violence that their professors taught them.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
This one from The Daily Mail, Dave Chappelle says he
has more quote free speech in Saudi Arabia than in
the United States.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
You've gotta be kidding. I like Dave Chappelle, but that's
a real ridiculous comment to make. And he's one of
the comedians. He's one of the comedians that took a
giant paycheck to go to perform for slave holding women's
stoning rapists. While Dave Chappelle is all about social justice
and all right.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Well, but you know you did your transgender oaks and
the people yelled and screamed and tried to cancel you
and they've failed and you made fun of them.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
But that's your lack of freedom of speech. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
that incredibly talented guy say.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And let's let's take it out of context. I'll wait
for context from the Times. Forget youthful brilliance. The human
mind actually piques at age sixty. Yes, no, that's bad news.
I'm sixty. I'm downhill from here, that's all. I don't
know if that's true.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
From the New York Post Egyptian wrestler pulls seven hundred
ton ship.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
With only his teeth. Yeah, we had that joke yesterday.
That's a good trick.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Good for you.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, wow wow, that's you know, it really restores your
faith in humanity. Somebody can pull a boat that big
with his teeth.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Chimney And finally from the Babylon b Chimp's honor, Jane
Goodall with twenty one.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Poosel Oh, I get it. So we have some breaking
news it's worth talking about as soon as we come back.
Barry Weiss named top editor at CBS News. This could
be a big deal for one of your legacy news outlets.
I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Maybe stay tuned. Oh I'm not no, no Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I complete, I completely forgot. I completely forgot. Yep, too
much Taylor Swift, not enough paying attention to the Friday schedule.
So much to come. I hope I've learned a lesson.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Including if the Republican's cave on this, the republic is over.
But right now, in spite of Jack's carelessness, it's time
for Friday tradition. Let's take fun look back at the
week that was It's cow clips of the week. Cows
are good, cows are neat, but this cow is in
made of me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It's clips of the week. The Americans bracing for a
government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It's the final town.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because
of all of our woke trans bolt.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's a disgusting video. And is it helpful?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Is post pictures of leader Jeff Vies and a sombrero.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh, I think it's funny.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I make this solemn promise to you that if you
help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.
You see, you should eat with the Italians, and you
should drink with the artist. Charlie Norwood is an AI
generated actress gaining attention and drawing swift backlash because I
(18:58):
was feeling good. Well, that feels good. Look out this
may lead the part. Wow, Oh Toddie. Second of the night.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Today's show is brought to you by the official animal
of Long Island, tis Ticks.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get it off me, get it off me. Despite all
we've achieved, I cannot continue my re election campaign. So
let's go to Oregon, where antifa radical left anarchists are
causing chaos in that city.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
We're under invasion from within, no different than a foreign enemy.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
How about we all come together and say let's stop murders.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
How about we all come together and say let's stop
attacking pedophiles.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette. Yeah,
brook about your shirt. We became the Woke Department, but
not anymore. No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
We are done with that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Well, the whole world is waiting for Hamas's formal yes.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Or no to this deal here.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
This can be done the easy way, or it can
be done the hard way, but it will be done.
I have a feeling that we're going to have a
positive answer.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Arab leaders like dealing with Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
They say he understands us, We understand him as you know,
maybe you'd have mar full backing to do what you
would have to do. You know what we got to
figure out for as a rule for clips of the
week is like practically every week now we have somebody
(20:47):
in an ai voice. And if you weren't around originally
when we played it, you had obviously been misled that
that's what Trump persumer or whoever we're playing actually said,
which is one of the problem with the whole AI thing.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, the solution is simple, listen to every minute of
the show every week. There you go. I'm a problem solver.
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm flipping through that. It remains to be seen whether
Hamas will agree.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I'm flipping through the New York Times and nothing. Nothing.
There's no headline, there's no follow up, there's no.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Cuttery authorities say on the story. Yeah, one quick thing
before we get into the news. Does anybody have the
Sora code? So a brand new app just came out.
It's a it's a it's a social media app made
by open Ai. It's all AI generated. There are no
(21:45):
real humans or anything like that. It's all AI videos,
AI voices, AI everything. But you have to have an
invitation for somebody that's already a user to get on it.
I downloaded the app. I know we have enough people
listening in the Silicon Valley. Somebody's got the code. Send
me the code so I can get on the app,
all right? On a text line four one five two
nine five KFTC, who's got the Sora code? Text line
(22:08):
four one five two nine five KFTC. Now, we have
talked about Barry Weiss a lot over quite a few
years now. She was hired at the New York Times
in the opinion room as if they were trying to
get more conservative voices. And while she is conservative on
a number of issues, she's also a gay woman married
(22:28):
to another woman. She's pro choice, she's a whole bunch
of things that don't fit in always with what is conservative.
She's very pro Israel, she's very she's very pro free speech.
She's she's a lot of things that we tend to like.
But anyway, she said she was getting bullied so much
in the newsroom at New York Times that she resigned,
(22:50):
and then she went off and started her own gig,
Free Press, and it has been incredibly successful. She hired
a whole bunch of different journalists. She's done some absolutely
amazing journalism in the last however many years it is
for five years.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
And old school journalism. She calls out both sides, tells
it as she sees it, as do her people.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of her all the way around.
And so the news had been bubbling for a while
now that she was that CBS was looking to paramount Skydance,
which owns CBS, was looking to buy the Free Press for.
Originally the number was a couple hundred million dollars. Well,
the news just broke. Barry Weiss will be named top
(23:33):
editor at CBS News and they have purchased free Press
for one hundred and fifty million in cash and stock,
and also naming Weis to the CBS News's top editorial job.
CBS also recently hired a conservative leaning album Budsman, to
field complaints about the network's editorial coverage. As they are
(23:55):
trying to go they say, trying to go more what
they should have been all along middle of the road. Yeah,
I'm curious to you. That's not the right turn. Middle
of the road. Honest, you don't have to be the
middle of the road. If four stories in a row
break in the direction of the conservatives are wrong, feel
free to report it that way. Sure, but yeah, you know,
(24:15):
just report what's happening. Yeah, it always uh hmmm, I
was gonna say a nooise. It doesn't annoy me. People say,
you guys are right down the middle, and I know
what you mean. We try to be fair, but oh no,
I'm an avowed conservative and proud of it. But anyway,
i'd be curious to hear, and I'm sure I will
hear from Barry Weiss why she and the crew went
(24:35):
down this path or generational wealth. Uh, certainly, I doubt
that's attractive.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Off I doubt that's it.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
She is doing pretty well and she's got a Well,
that's why I'm so curious, because the free press doesn't
need paramount. Skaddans is CBS is completely irrelevant compared to
the free press. You think so, in my opinion, And
if it isn't true today, it will be in five years. Oh,
look at the demographics of who watches CBS News and
(25:05):
who logs onto their website or whatever. It's it's just
it's it's clearly going down as the way. Do you
think that's going on. Do you think that's because of that?
I mean, there's no denying that.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But do you think that is because of the medium
or because they got such a tarnish on them? She
might think, well, we can rescue this medium. Television is
still fine if it's if people get the idea that
that someplace they can go to to get a you know,
a decent shake on a news story.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yeah, I have a feeling that Paramount sold her on
the idea of complete editorial independence.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm sure that was part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Absolutely, there's no way she would take that job or
she'll she'll loudly scream if she gets overruled on something,
she'll quit right right.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But also the all of the resources of you know,
See News and Paramount sky Dance and the rest of it,
whatever those happen to be.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh my, got it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
An I'm a little worried.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
It's like my favorite indie band that I worship, just
got you know, signed to Columbia Records back in the day,
and the producer is known for the top pop hits
of the day has been signed to work with them.
But ye see, your idea about resources could be a
lot of it. I mean, when you're the person in
(26:27):
charge of news direction and you have all of the
tools that exist with sixty minutes for instance, and covering stories.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
All around the world, holy crap.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Well, and I'm sure she can go to her bosses
and say, hey, we want to do a documentary on X.
It's going to be ninety minutes long, and we figure
it'll cost ten million dollars and they'll say do it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, I'll tell you what. With her in charge, there's
no way sixty Minutes is going to do some of
the ridiculously biased stories they've done about the whole Israel
Palestinian thing over the last few.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Years, whole lefty takeover of the media newsrooms all across America.
We've witnessed it personally. This could be a major moment
in it being rolled back where it ends. Nobody knows,
but it's intriguing.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, And there's just unlike you said, there's no way
she keeps her mouth shut if for some reason she
runs up against them not letting her do it the
way she wants to do it right, right, Yeah, I
guess the thing that keeps sticking with me, and you
have more affection for CBS and sixty minutes and stuff
than I.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Do, is all of that just seems irrelevant now. But again, parent,
Mount Skydance is a big company.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You might be right, and I might be fighting against
the tide of time, or the tide of time has
already overwhelmed me and I'm at the bottom of the
sea and I don't even realize it. But man, there
are all these other different you know, podcasts and YouTube
channels and substacked sort of things whenever like that, but
nobody has the resources to go do a big, long
(27:54):
piece story in the Middle East still, like the New
York Times or CBS or the bigfoot media. They just
don't do it. It's true.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
If we lose all that and everybody and it's all
just people alone in their apartments type and away.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I don't know if that's the best thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, Speaking of the battle front over progressive control, we
have a campus madness update coming up later in the show.
I'm telling you, the only thing that I believe has
been accomplished on college campuses is that we've forced some
of the maniacs into a defensive crouch and or a
(28:37):
strategic show of compliance just until the bad weather passes.
The bad weather being the Trump administration and the attention
of conservative America. The wildly angry, crazy left is still
firmly in charge of our educational systems top to bottom.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Need to admit something, and I'm highly embarrassed about.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Oh no, I tursh it's good for the soul.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I turned off the football game. I thought it was over.
I had no idea went in.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Over the forty nine ers Rams.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I had no idea went in overtime. I checked the
score at some point and I thought, okay, that's firmly
in hand, and then gave up. I didn't. I didn't,
I didn't. Man, it sounds like it was freaking fantastic.
Shame on you, sha all time great Thursday night division
for the division sort of game.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Good.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
If it was a movie, I'd walked out of the
theater saying that script was a bit much.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Damn it. I can't believe I haven't recorded. Can I
still enjoy it? Maybe? Oh you can.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
It's it's insane, damn it. It was unbelievable. Yeah, oh sorry,
Rams fans don't mean to gloat. And and my cubi's no,
I'm wearing my old school Cubs T shirt here, not
plain lettering the gray and a simple Cub patch on
my left s.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Old Hanson, as a longtime Podres fan, says there was
a bogus third strike call that led to the Podreys loosing.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yes, but it was at a critical moment, so oh
that makes it worse. Sorry, Yeah, it was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It was a bad call.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Oh, that's totally totally miss. That's a good argument for
the computer's coming in, I guess, or a good argument
for protecting the plate on a three and two count.
What do you got that bat in your hands for?
You're not gonna swing it? Huh? You gott to guard
the plate a while. Wow, Joe the little league coach
coming out. We've got mail bag on the way and
lots of news. Stay here. Got some seriously interesting AI
(30:37):
stuff that I can't wait to get to. There's some
seriously frightening Russia, Ukraine, NATO US stuff. That thing is
about to get way hotter, I think as a global
story anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Uh more on that later.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Neil Ferguson wrote a great piece for the Free Press
entitled the future of wars here in Europe is not
ready for it.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
And we can dive into that when we discussed that
right now.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It's your freedom loving quote of the day.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Controversial from Brendan O'Neill, the Irish writer. Ladies Irish or
does he just sound Irish? Brendan O'Neill Walley was a
certainly Irish family, and they're good folks. Many high status
women have giddaly sacrificed solidarity with their own sex on
(31:29):
the altar of validating the delusional identities of men in dresses.
They betrayed womankind so that they might gain access to
the rarefied realm of elite opinion, moral treachery masquerading his progressivism.
There you go, some good writing right there, mail Bag.
I have much to say about that, but another time.
(31:50):
Feel free to reach out. Mail Bag at Armstrong and
Geeddy dot com is the email addressed. And now this
is a good idea, a really good idea. I hesitate
to read it because the show is going to go
down the tubes, because the executive producer Hanson is going
to spend all of his time on this project. Sean's suggestion,
you have to have hands and make an ai we
(32:10):
are the World type song to raise money for the
government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Puny, oh boy, let's see moving along.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
A nice note from Sarah on media silos the high
school edition, Unplug the Internet, bring back objective newspaper journalism,
and then encyclopedia. She writes, My daughter is in her
senior year public high school in New Jersey, taking an
ap government class. She was asked to choose a political
topic and write a persuasive essay, he's either from the
Democratic or the Republican viewpoint. As both her parents are
(32:44):
on the conservative ends, she chose to try to write
something from the Republican viewpoint, only to be frustrated.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Everywhere she looked.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Google's AI, as well as most sites that were prompted
by her searches, never gave any actual information as to
the Republican viewpoint. Instead, they mainly gave the Democratic viewpoint
and then the Democrats view of what the Republicans think, right,
which is what you get out.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
You can understand why the AI would do that, because
that's what all mainstream journalism is and that's where it's
getting its information.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She finally had to involve her brother, who writes papers
for a conservative view university. Yes, there are a couple
left in doing some of the research, so she could
find legitimate sites that she could use as sources. Several
of the sites he offered she could not even access
from her school issued computer.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
They were forbidden.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Wow, that's all they were mainstream conservative journalism.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Eon was talking the other day about having groc rewrite Wikipedia,
some sort of Grokipedia you could go to where it's
more fair imbalanced.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, Yeah, got some interesting stuff on one of the
founders of Wikipedia's trying to save it from becoming a
progressive hell hole. But maybe later I thought this was
amusing given the previous email. It's from the good folks
at CNN. They're asking me to stand with fact focused
journe We share your belief in the truth, power, essential journalism,
(34:05):
and a time when it matters most.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
And they want me to subscribe to some CNN web service.
And that's why we have nine panelists on every story,
all with the same view, and one token conservative that
we scream at like he's a Nazi. Exactly tied in
all of the above.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
Jason Wrights, Oh, so AI is awesome, right, pick your
favorite AI app, Ask it to create an image of
a watch with the hour and minute hand anywhere. Tell
it what time you want analog watch, not digital. No
matter what time you select, the image will be set
to ten ten, No matter what the reason is that most,
if not all, online picks of watches are ads and.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
All are set to ten ten.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
They feel like it looks the best to show off
the watch, so AI has nothing to train on other
than that one.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
It's fascinating, and of course the point is not the
watch picture. It's just that that's what it does with everything. Yeah,
that is so quite actly.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
It's pretty.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
It can create a meal plan for my dad with
colon cancer, but can't even tell time. That's really interesting.
Jason oh Man, we're out of time, got so much
good stuff. Barry from Thailand wants to know someone please
tell me what's the big deal with the Nobel Peace Prize.
It's an absolute fraud. Many of its recipients had nothing
to do with peace, and I wish Trump wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Obsess over it.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Yeah, he thinks it'd look cool. I hang it on
his wall or on his desk or whatever. We got
three more hours. If you miss any segment, get the

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
