Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and day and he.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Armsdrongdy all for my least favorite day, because we've a
candel in the studio live from Studio ce SR, a
dimly lit room deeper than the bowels.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And hey today we're.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Under the two ledge of our general manager, Pam Bondy,
America's toughest middle aged tidy.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
There you go, because she was what fired stood strong
against questions in the meaningless hearing yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
She stood tall against the onslaught of the bitter false
accusations and the true ones from from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Bye God, standing up for all that is good and right.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Speaking of good and right, you know who I would
tip my hat to is those air traffic controllers that
are going to work without pay, struggling to make their
rent and their house payments and childcare and putting food
on the table when they've got no money, despite the
fact that they haven't missed a single freaking penny yet.
I told you yesterday morning that all day long, the
(01:37):
news coverage is gonna be about how they've missed there
there there, won't go to work because they don't have
any money, and they interviewed all.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
These different air traffic controls. I have childcare.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I've read nobody has missed a single cent, and the
media pretends that's not true.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You know, I remember spin. I used to think spin
was a problem. Now people just tell outright untruths right
under the banner of our main your big foot media.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
The definition of spin is it's not a lie, but
it's not the whole truth. It's just a lie to
say that government workers are staying home because they have
they aren't getting paid.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I'm working without pay. I don't know how many.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
People I heard say that, No, you're not, No, you're not.
Your paycheck comes out next week. If the shutdown's still
going on, then you'll miss part of your paycheck and
then you'll get it back at the end.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But you're not working out without pay right now.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's just a flat out lie, And it's the number
one story I've seen on every newscast today. Yeah, Burbank airport,
yesterday airport. I'm very familiar with flying and out of
all kinds of flights, canceled because there these are traffic controls,
or would you work without pay?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
They're not working without pay?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Stop saying that, right right, There was another story I'll
dig it up where there was an overwhelming result in
public opinion polling, and but if people got sixty seconds
of information about the issue, huge percentage of them switched.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And so you look at various poll.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Numbers about the shutdown or the Obamacare subsidies or whatever,
what you never see is the enormous number of people
who aren't really paying attention and don't really know what
they're talking about. So, yeah, it's it's easy to sway
the masses with this sort of one sided, completely dishonest coverage.
But don't look at opinion polls and think, wow, these
(03:26):
are people with firmly grounded and carefully researched opinions and men,
do they have a stance.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, they're just like wait what oh the shutdown?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
No, I'm against it. I guess Republicans are at fault. Okay,
I mean it goes that deep, but only that deep? Ye,
so so much dishonesty.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, and then you have the other problem in this.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I'm not going to go off on this because we've
talked it to death, and we all know it's true.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The media bubbles blah blah blah algorithms.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But like this whole Portland story, for instance, it's as
if there are two stories going on and one of
them is for one crowd gets your media for one place,
and another stories for another crowd to get and they
don't and they're barely like the circles in a vendery Graham.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
There's very little overlap other.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Than like the town we're talking about, there's almost no
overlap in the in the story coverage. So if you're
talking to somebody whose news flowing algorithms lean the other direction,
you can't even have a conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Right right, I don't know what we do with that
invading peaceful cities.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's probably gonna become the norm with all stories, I suppose.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, well we're screwed, and we're screwed, absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Darren Judge hit a giant home run bring the Yankees
back last night from death door, and that's no serious
is now two to one?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Banged it off the fair pole.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah, reminding casual baseball fans, that's the so called foul
pole was actually in fair territory.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You hit the pole, hits a home run. I didn't
know that was a home run. The ball hit the pole,
round trip, poor bag, here went yard. That ball is
not playable, exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
The giant Aaron Judge, yes, seven feet six, five hundred pounds.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Correct that that's a very large man.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
James, call mey is gonna be in court today.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So this isn't a televised hilarity though, right, This is
like actual court proceedings.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This isn't the nonsense of.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Like those hearings like that we're going on yesterday, where
there's no real skin in the game and it's all
a joke. This is actual court proceedings in the Justice department.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
All right, it's a I don't know. I thought it
was a hearing, but I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Is it an affid they taken an AFFI David, I'll
have to look it up.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But you know it's the whole he lied under oath
thangy that even all my conservative legal friends seem to
think is not going to work.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
No, it's just too hard to prove the charge. I mean,
he certainly did lie. Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
He also seven foot six, but one hundred and five
pounds very thin, and his Hubris percentage is eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I wasted a fair amount of time before the show today.
Let me preface this by saying that there were a
number of and I don't know what the number was,
it was a large number of pro Hamas rallies yesterday
on October seventh, the second anniversary of the horrific, brutal,
(06:39):
tortuous rape, murderous.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Savage attack.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
We've got some amazing clips from idiots from those rallies, right,
And I know at least a few of those rallies
were in and around New York City. And I spent
a long time scraping through the New York Times website
trying to find coverage of those rallies.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Couldn't find it.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Now, maybe I didn't dig long and deep enough, but
I dug pretty long and deep and went past a
hell of a lot of coverage, of a hell of
a lot of stories and a hell of a lot
of opinion pieces about this or that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You have groups vowing.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
More October seventh, over and over again talking openly about
the evil Jews, just open bigotry, hatred, calling for war
and death. If that had been three blanking white supremacist,
in bred jackasses, the New York Times would have led
with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But the pro.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Islamic supremacist crowd, the anti semi crowd, now they're not
worth covering you, all right, nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Joe Biden said, the.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Ran the reason he ran for president is when he
saw that stuff from Charlottesville. I looked in their eyes hate.
I just thought, I can't let this country become that.
And I was like a half dozen idiots, And you
got people coast to coast saying the same thing.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, what's really out about it is yeah, they're saying
virtually the same thing about the Jews. But no, no, no,
this one's okay. This one's okay because it's the Palestinians
at all. All Right, I am impocrites, liars, you know, Yeah, Okay, enough,
We'll play.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Some clips from the dumbest of the people that we're
at these pro Palestine, pro Homa protests coming up.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's absolutely amazing. I mean, it's just stunning.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Hanson and I both had the problem last night as
we were going through the very long clip of is
this real?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
This guy can't be real?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
But it becomes clear it's real combination of stupidity and ignorance,
which are different things. Yeah, but it's striking, yeah, but
utterly vehement, right angry, ready to take up arms on
their completely either asinine or horribly ill informed worldview or
(08:59):
the very least politically support violence. Yes, oh yeah, yeah,
and more is coming out coming out rather on that
piece of crap. Who's running for attorney general in Virginia, Jones,
Jay Jones.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's a worse guy than I thought.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
We've just scratched the surface yesterday talking about this sicko.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We should do that.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Again, maybe at the bottom of this hour for people
who haven't heard it, because it's something.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, there are.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Significant forces on the left that are openly pro political violence,
and they will say so. Then they will deny it,
and you know, the aforementioned bigfoot media will shoveler being
say there's nothing to see here. Really, Republicans pounds as
if they cover it at all. But yeah, there are
open calls for political violence on the left. I don't
(09:51):
want to get bogged down in this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Maybe we'll talk about it later, but just I think
it's a common feeling that people have of Jim, just
like unmoored or broken or whatever. That nothing is like
it used to be, and it's been.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That way for a while now.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And I wonder how much of that you know, because
our politics got pretty that way prior to COVID, and
then wokeism came along, and George Floyd didn't really have
anything to do with COVID allthough COVID played a role
in that they were allowed to march and nobody else was.
But anyway, But then COVID, which was unlike anything, but anyway,
(10:29):
everything feels like, ah, broken, everything's just broken.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My heart is broken, well James Comy's heart, for instance, Yes, yes, well.
And I would point out also that the things that
tended to keep us moored, friends, family, civic engagement, that
sort of thing is going away because of the omnipresence
of the online world.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I mean, I can understand how people have anxiety, George,
so much anxious things going on.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Anyway, we should start to show officially keep that faith.
Thank you, James Comy, keeping my god, he's such a hero.
He's not gonna live on his knees and you shouldn't either,
That's what I guess.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Anybody ever been sainted while they were still alive. Because
I have a nominee. But I'm not afraid. So let's
have a try out.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty. On this it is
hump day. We have a camel in the studio. It's
October the eighth, the twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and Getty,
and we approve of this program.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Let's begin then officially according to the FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Here we go. Come on, now, let's get it on
at Mark, how do you think? How do you think
that happened? How did Jews start owning everything?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They use their dark magic.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I guess like.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I'm Jewish and I would like to have some magic,
but I don't feel like I have any magic.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
How do you think I can access this dark magic?
I don't know if you're maybe using your magic on
me right now? Oh Lord? Is this pro homos protester?
We got to play more of it. It's just un.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
But the Jews own everything. Jews are behind all the
bad things are happening, and all the Jews need to
go away and then to be killed. They need to
be put in ovens. He even gets into we could
use ovens at fast food places to put the Jews
in great again, like you said earlier, he's talking about
that out loud. It's just like, isn't that funny guy
talking about putting Jews in the ovens? If a right
winger was saying that off the charts news come, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah. I tell you you know.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I don't want to be a complete downer today. I
swear I don't. But if a stupid, ignorant people person
kills you, you're just as dead.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Oh and you know, on a lighter note, he cancels
my votes.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
We have a stupid ignorant person who wanted people dead
that got caught on a in a violent government plot
yesterday with two hundred bombs.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We got to get to that story that is that
is something else I made them.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I don't know what you feed a camel. I should
have chat gpt' did. But in baked beans last week,
I thought maybe cammel's like baked beans, and it did
not work out well.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Explosive, just so imaginable. This week I brought up beayle hay,
which seems better than baked beans. I don't know. So
we got Katie's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
We got Katie's headlines on the waist, stay here, had
a lot of good audio today. So the leading candidate
for governor in California name who I didn't even know
her name when I live in California.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Is that a Republican or Democrat? Gotcha? That is pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter. I've heard the name, but
I don't know anything about her. She had a disastrous
interview yesterday that has really gone viral, and we'll play
clips of that a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Given Katie's a bad name.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Dragging down, you know, the average Katie rating in America,
that's right, terrible. Hey, there's a lot to get to today.
Let's figure out who's reporting what it's. The lead story
was Katie Green Katie from.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The Washington Post.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Senior US officials when Gaza ceasefire talks as momentum builds
for peace.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Yeah, so Jared Kushner and uh Weiss cough, I guess
they they aren't leaving. They say they're not leaving until
a deal is signed. They're staying a whitcar. However many
days it takes.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I still hate their chances to get past Square one
or two.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But you don't think they'll get something signed. I assume
something will be signed.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
That's square one. Then square two is like the preliminary face.
After that it goes haywire, I would guess. But again,
I'm not rooting for that. I'm rooting for exactly the opposite.
But man, that's a tough road.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Ad from NBC Comy is charged with lying to Congress,
which he denies.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean, we'll see how that turns out. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And if there is not enough evidence to convict him,
which even conservative legal pundits say is true, he's gonna
go so full martyr, standing up for all that is good,
write a book, go on.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He'll be on the View and Jimmy Kimmel and oh,
it's going to be hard to take Gail.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Very re embraced by the left in a disgusting boot
licking display the shifting loyalties.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
From ABC News.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Trump signals optimism about US Canada trade agreement.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Saying, quote, We've come a long way.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know, back to the last story. You know that
people regularly say I threw up in my mouth a little.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Bit that that that freeze.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I really did on the thought I can picture James
Camy on Jimmy Kimmel and the standing ovation he gets
when he walks out.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
And just the woh, I don't can we talk about
gardening or sports or something.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It's just so gross, so gross. From Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
ICE arrests ninety one illegal immigrant semi truck drivers in
licensing crackdown.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That whole licensing truckers thing has turned out to be
quite the scandal.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's not uprising. I mean, you got people who don't
speak a lick English.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Uh, how did you pass any tests in the United
States of America?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You can't read the road signs.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
You fail if if somebody gives you the test retroactively,
you failed.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Blaming all these different.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Companies were hiring because they can pay him so much
less and give them so many fewer benefits of hiring
illegals for probably for.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Decades, and it was accommodation of Blue states that just believed,
now human being is illegal, and Red states just just
really needed truckers so are like, yeah, let's not worry
about it. They're already doing the construction and packing the meet.
We'll have them drive the trucks.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
And finally from the Babylon Bee Chicago mayor, hoping his
ice free zones work out better.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Than his gun free zones. Ah oh that blow landed. Woof.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
So there's this whack job politician out there that is
making like seriously, out loud, violent threats against his opponent,
like I want him dead that sort of thing, and
Democrats are standing behind him, which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Yep, yep, Jay Jones of Virginia, name that should live
in infamy.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, if you haven't heard this story, it's worth sticking
around from.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And then we got some great audio from crazy people
at the protests yesterday, which would be a lot more
fun if there weren't so many of them and they
weren't so dangerous.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Anyway, We've got a lot of good stuff on the way.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The Washington Post confirms j Jones sent texts that imagine
shooting the Republican Speaker of the House. J Jones witched
the speaker's wife could watch her own child die in
her arms. It's so disgusting, it's hard to believe, but
it's true.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I hear that, and I would think if that is
like provable, well, then obviously that person has to get out.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Of the race. I mean there's just no oh yeah, yeah,
clearly so.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
But no, the Democratic Party is embracing j Jones because
he apologized or something or took full responsibility or something.
So Jones is running for Attorney General in Virginia, trying
to take back the state after Glenn Youngkin and moderate
Republicans like the current ag took over the state in
(18:17):
the last elections. And it's worth contemplating for a second.
We're talking about the attorney general. We're talking about the
top law enforcement officer in the state of Virginia.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So it's not just like an assembly member or something,
or a recorder of deeds or like the environmental director.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Now this guy is running to be the top law
enforcement officer in Virginia. And as Jeff Blair in the
National Review put, and I thought this was great, he's
also a moral monster of the first degree. And it
all goes back to, among other things, text and phone
calls he had with a state Republican delegate back in
(19:02):
twenty twenty two, his friendly chit chat about how his
opponents should go, how he would like to see them
die and quote go to their funerals and piss on
their graves to send them out a wash in something
was rude.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Obviously.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Blair actually points out that's something like Lyndon Johnson might say,
though it's nasty.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
But if that's it, you know, okay.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
But it was then that he started to muse out
loud to miss Coiner, that's carry Coinner, that's the person
he was talking to. He declared, if he was trapped
in a room with a gun and two bullets alongside Hitler,
Paul Pott, and Todd Gilbert, who is the Republican Speaker
of the State House, he would shoot Gilbert twice.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's an old and cruel joke.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
But oh my god, during this era of assassination attempts
and violence and stuff, it's terrible. But and here's the
part that I should have emphasized wore yesterday when we
talked about this late in the show, when she said, hey,
that's not funny. You need to stop. He called her
(20:13):
and explained himself all too clearly, and she says it
was utterly clear he was not kidding, and he was
not kidding on the square where you're joking but not
really joking. No, he was adamant. He was making an
impassioned argument in defense of killing people. He said he
(20:34):
thought at least some Republicans deserved to die for their politics,
and he extended that wish to their children as well.
According to the source The Democratic, quoting the news story, now,
former legislator double down on the call, saying the only
way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves,
like the pain that parents feel when they watched their
children die from gun violence. He asked her to provide
(20:58):
a counter example to disprove his claim. Then at that point,
he suggested he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own
child die in her arms, so that Gilbert might can
reconsider his political views, and Coiner hung up the phone
in disgust.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
If you say that stuff seriously, you're a crazy person.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Now you say it jokingly, you have pretty out there
jokes as a politician in the current climate. But I
could see doing it, especially in private. But if you
got called on it, it'd be like, well, no, you know,
I'm kidding obviously, but I hate the guy.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You'd say something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
But he didn't, right, He said, no, no, no, I
mean it well, yeah, And Coyner called him on it
one more time, and he said, yes, I've told you
this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they
move on policy.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And then, of course the punchline being Democrats in Virginia
are standing by the guy. He's expressed remorse and he apologized,
so I'm fine with him.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah. Oh. He also he threw in at one point.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
That that he was justified in his desire to see
a mother punished for her politics by the death of
her children, because they're just breeding little fascists anyway, Wow,
talking about the Republican fella, and they're two beautiful small children.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I hadn't heard that one. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Can you imagine this moral monster being the top cop
in Virgini. It's disgusting and I hate to even do this.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I hate to waste my breath on this next sentence,
My precious, precious breaths. You know, I've only got somebody
left h right at this point in my life, not
many looking at you. But if somebody running in a
red state for Republican Party said the same thing, the
media would be going crazy. It'd be the only story
(22:48):
they're covering. Until he finally backed out of the race.
But it's quite possible that if you're a Democrat, are
you taking mainstream media haven't heard this story at all,
because I haven't seen it in most places.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
No, No, it's they've touched on it in some of
the bigfoot media, mostly under the banner of Republicans pounds
and accuse Jay Jones of right. Right, of course, I'm
going to give the last word on this, or unless
you want to throw in more to Jeff Blair, who
I really appreciate, is writing with the understanding that is
that it is dangerous to speak of the left or
(23:22):
the right as a whole. These movements are infinitely more
complex than any simple characterization. He mentions, it is undeniable
that the language of leftist radicalism is steeped in the
color red. Every political defeat is an apocalyptic catastrophe, the
dark cloud of fascism forever threatens to descend. The only
answer is direct action or propaganda of the deed, and
(23:44):
only when evil people are made to suffer and die.
These are Jones's thoughts near verbatim. Mind you not mine, Jeff, right,
That's the only way they might possibly change their ways
and agree with you again. I emphasize J. Jones did
not let slip a few air thoughts. He made a
passionate appeal to a bleak moral worldview that alarmingly is
consistent with other rhetoric and violent slaughter we have seen
(24:07):
coming from the left in recent months and weeks. And
he wants to be the attorney general of the state
of Virginia. Let the voters decide. You think he weathers this.
I certainly hope he loses. I mean, if a and
this is just this is the truth, and I've known
this for a very long time. And the sooner you
(24:28):
know what, the healthier your brain will be. If a
pole comes out tomorrow that says, Okay, this guy's now
going to lose to the Republican the Democrats will turn
on him right and say, oh, moral outrage, et cetera,
et cetera. But if the pole comes out tomorrow and
he's a head, they'll say, oh, he's apologized, there was
ill considered words and blah blah blah, and they'll stick
with them completely.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
They hang those principles, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Their only principle, that it's not a guiding principle, is
their only principle is we want power?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah, okay, a line was crossed in technology yesterday. I
want to tell you about in a second to first,
we need to tell you about this. If you like
to get into the football action and take your strong
opinions about who's hot and who's not and what team
can't be beat and whatnot and turn it into cash
instead of just mouthing off to your friends at the bar,
you need to.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Get the Prize Picks app. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Price Picks is the easiest, most fun, simplest way to
get in on daily fantasy sports. You just pick two
or more player stats and say I think he's going
to do more or less.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If you get your picks right, you could cash in.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
And Price Picks is the only app app that offers
what they call stacks, meaning you can pick the same
player up to three times in the same lineup. For instance,
you can puck pick more on Josh Allen's passing yards
rush yards, but less on his touchdowns because he's throwing
more at whatever. You can combine that player's stats into
your lineup.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, that's pretty cool. So download the Prize Picks app today.
Use the code Armstrong to get fifty dollars in lineups.
After you play your first five dollars lineup. Yeah, you
don't have to win, it's automatic.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You play a five dollars lineup, very modest, and you
get fifty dollars to play around with. Prize picks. Oh,
prize picks app Armstrong is the code prize picks. It's
good to be right.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
So there's a new social media app out that is
all Ai called Sora.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It just came out a week ago. And who's behind that? Altman?
Is that?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I think it's an Altman thing? Yeah, open Ai and
right now it's invitation only. You have to have a
code and I couldn't find a code, and thank you
to whoever it was. It's emailed listen, sent a code
and I used the code and I got in. But
here's the main thing. And as soon it's going to
be open to everybody. I just wanted to be in
before everybody else so I can feel special. Very important
(26:37):
that I feel special.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But so I was on.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I was rolling through Sora and the whole thing is
it's everything on there is AI and I kind of
like knowing that. So you're not scrolling and thinking is
this real or not? Or Bubba? Every single thing on there,
you know, is completely AI. So it's it's interesting. I
came across several videos where you could not at all
(27:03):
tell that it wasn't the lips moving the voice saying,
because as recently as a few months ago it was
pretty good. You know, like if you had Donald Trump
saying I think we should attack Paris tomorrow, you know,
the lips didn't quite match up or something like that.
But there was like a showing hands in this Martin
(27:23):
Luther King Jr. The high I have a dream speech
and is I have a dream was something about you know,
AI conquering the world, and it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Was perfect, I mean one hundred percent perfect.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
God help us. So, like I said, we're there. We're
wondering when we would get there.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We're there.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, on where you could have a video that there
is not a hint in there that that wasn't Donald Trump,
you know, in a in a private meeting declaring war
on France or whatever. Right, and don't I don't know
where we go from now, because the flip side of
that being, of course, no matter what, who gets caught
doing what like this guy here, except he's standing by
(28:01):
his statements. So it makes it harder but you could deny,
You could deny anything and say that I was ai.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
How is something going to prove you wrong? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
The interesting thing about the Jay Jones thing is he
said he I've called to Uh, I've tried to personally
apologize to mister Gillis was it, and his wife and
his children and his mother and his dog.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But you know what he hasn't done nobody's asked him
to do, is specifically disavow the point of view that
no people have to feel actual pain to change their politics,
and so we are justified in causing that physical pain.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He hasn't addressed that, which is interesting.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
But back to your greater point, what percentage of the
population do you think at this point, just in the
US could see a video of say, Donald Trump saying
we're canceling the next election and be fooled by it, see.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It and say, oh my god, it's true.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
It's true, and not think, ah, it's probably a deep fake,
is it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It's it's a sizeable percentage.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well right, And then the other question is how big
a percentage does it have to be to really make
a mess of things?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Well, yeah, I think we're here, And how will that
change in a year or two? How will it change
in the midterms. I mean, and we're not gonna talk
about the midterms. But if every single and as cheap
and easy as it is to do this, this is
not a pipe dream. If every single swing house district
(29:37):
was just flooded with deep fake videos that were indistinguishable
from legitimate candidate a beating his wife dragon or is
through a hotel lobby like he's a diddy, all right
and saying loathsome stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Well, well, imagine today's technology in twenty twenty, when you
could have made all kinds of videos of people loading
boxes of ballots into trucks that looked one hundred percent
true in.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Various places like that. Yeah for instance. Yeah, oh that's
a great for instance. Yeah, oh boy, that's gonna be fun.
This is gonna be a fun last part of my life.
Oh boy, I'll be in the woods if you need me.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
We got mail leg takes off myself mailbag on the
way stay here. So a complete nut job arrested with
two hundred bombs, some of which made with the same
chemicals the Oklahoma City bomber used, which was pretty successful.
Was outside of church where all of the Supreme Court
justices were supposed to show up for a mass on Sunday,
(30:37):
And luckily the guy was caught and he didn't kill
all nine justices, which have been quite the problem.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Keep ranting about the outer control, fascist Maga Court, Chuck Schumer,
just keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We'll reap the whirlwind.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
God, Kavanaugh, you will reap the whirlwind. What a monstery
is mail? I'm sorry freedom loving to the day.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
This one's a little self helpy, but I think it's
a good one.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Continuing our series on change, writer Mandy Hale says change
is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck
somewhere you don't belong.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Ah, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, this is gonna be hard, but staying in this
situation will be harder.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's the long term pain versus the short term pain.
That's what you got to think about.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yeah, the pains spread out over many years of continuing
to do what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah. Uh, here's your mail bag. That's a good one.
That's a good philosophical thought.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
It is drops a note mail bag at Armstrong and
Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Uh, this is Russ from Portland. He writes, greetings Jents
and Katie and Jack. Not sure what category Jack falls into.
I'm putting some pieces together here. Wow, let's see Jack
takes off his co like a girl. Jack can't grow mustache.
Jack can't grill like a man, only like a hobo.
But the biggest tell. Jack seems really excited about the
(32:09):
new Tea Swizzle album and has been jamming out to
it like a fourteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Fourteen year old girls.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Also take off their coats like a girl, can't grow mustaches,
and can't grill. Something you want to tell us Jack,
or is a Jacqueline? It's okay, we still love you.
Maybe you can get some makeup tips from Katie.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That's funny, got a whole riff.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Henry and I were watching that video I take my
coat off like a girl's on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I watch It's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Actually, eah boy, let's see another Jay in San Jose,
says guys, The internet social media echo chamber seems to
be entering its teenage hormone phase. Moody acne totally uninformed,
yet unquestionably certain, brought to us with immense computing power
of rapidly expanding aid the whirlwind is just beginning. It
(32:55):
will get harder to see reality because crap in eagles, crap.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Out with two teenage boys. That description sounded pretty accurate. Yeah,
I wish you were wrong, Jay, I don't can't come up.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
With how you are.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Let's say Alvin in beautiful, Berserkly, California. I've often wondered
why the Trump haters are not at all bothered by
the assassination attempts. They just completely pass over them like
they hadn't happened.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Then it hit me.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
They really think it was justified. It's like those fantasies
of going back in time and killing baby Hitler. They
think this is like the attempt on Hitler when he
was out arranged when the bomb went off, you know,
the famous bomb plot. They really think Trump is a
new Hitler. It's disgusting, but I think they actually hate
him that much a certain percentage of people.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And this would be another super interesting study.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Maybe a university could do it, but it's got to
be one of the four to six not completely woke
universities in America go with the most extreme rhetoric. You know,
and we've hit you with a couple of examples of
it this segment and poll how many people take it literally?
How many people don't understand? Oh no, this is just
(34:05):
supposed to whip me up and get me going. But
I mean he's not actually Hitler. I mean, come on,
que say oh yeah, it's just the same.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
And how many and how what percentage do you need
to make things won't make life really hard?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Probably not very many.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Well, in the best prosecution of Hitler, well see right there,
unless that's Ai, it's not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It was before. Anyway.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I think that one of the best indictments you can
make of these people in their rhetoric is that if
I did take you literally and seriously and you were correct,
violence would be justified.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I would commit violence if I thought the democracy was.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Ending, Yes, I would join you. It would make you
a patriot.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Right, we're through here, your honor. I think the jury
is waving an American flag. I think that's a good
sign for my side. Yeah, it's just terrible. Anyway, Uh,
that's so serious. Maybe we'll get to that later. How
much time do we have a minute?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Twelb?
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, I will tell you this coming up next hour,
I've got a segment I'm going to be calling the
major media.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
The clowns itself.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
I've got a couple of great examples of that in
which they write oh so eloquently and accidentally make the
point opposite to the one they think they're making.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
But just real.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
One of those stories is about that illegal alien des
Moines superintendent schools who also faked up his resume and
was a gun, total nut and the rest of it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
And you're going to really enjoy that story.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
But we got this note from alnonymous about some people
specifically in the state of California, who had very important
jobs with very specific credentials required, and it was all fake.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Nobody bothered to check.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
I wish I'd have known that when I was younger,
and and the number I'd be, uh, I'd be I'd
be pulling somebody's wisdom teeth right now.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
They got to come out, well, numb me up, don't
worry about it. Yeah, do you know?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Have you done that? Do you know people who've done that?
Drop us a notemail bag at Armstrong and Getdy dot com. Boy,
do we have some good nut picking for hour two?
It's a nut job at a Palestinian protest.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
They do
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Armstrong and Getdy
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and day and he.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Armsdrongdy all for my least favorite day, because we've a
candel in the studio live from Studio ce SR, a
dimly lit room deeper than the bowels.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And hey today we're.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Under the two ledge of our general manager, Pam Bondy,
America's toughest middle aged tidy.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
There you go, because she was what fired stood strong
against questions in the meaningless hearing yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
She stood tall against the onslaught of the bitter false
accusations and the true ones from from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Bye God, standing up for all that is good and right.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Speaking of good and right, you know who I would
tip my hat to is those air traffic controllers that
are going to work without pay, struggling to make their
rent and their house payments and childcare and putting food
on the table when they've got no money, despite the
fact that they haven't missed a single freaking penny yet.
I told you yesterday morning that all day long, the
(01:37):
news coverage is gonna be about how they've missed there
there there, won't go to work because they don't have
any money, and they interviewed all.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
These different air traffic controls. I have childcare.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I've read nobody has missed a single cent, and the
media pretends that's not true.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You know, I remember spin. I used to think spin
was a problem. Now people just tell outright untruths right
under the banner of our main your big foot media.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
The definition of spin is it's not a lie, but
it's not the whole truth. It's just a lie to
say that government workers are staying home because they have
they aren't getting paid.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I'm working without pay. I don't know how many.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
People I heard say that, No, you're not, No, you're not.
Your paycheck comes out next week. If the shutdown's still
going on, then you'll miss part of your paycheck and
then you'll get it back at the end.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But you're not working out without pay right now.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's just a flat out lie, And it's the number
one story I've seen on every newscast today. Yeah, Burbank airport,
yesterday airport. I'm very familiar with flying and out of
all kinds of flights, canceled because there these are traffic controls,
or would you work without pay?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
They're not working without pay?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Stop saying that, right right, There was another story I'll
dig it up where there was an overwhelming result in
public opinion polling, and but if people got sixty seconds
of information about the issue, huge percentage of them switched.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
And so you look at various poll.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Numbers about the shutdown or the Obamacare subsidies or whatever,
what you never see is the enormous number of people
who aren't really paying attention and don't really know what
they're talking about. So, yeah, it's it's easy to sway
the masses with this sort of one sided, completely dishonest coverage.
But don't look at opinion polls and think, wow, these
(03:26):
are people with firmly grounded and carefully researched opinions and men,
do they have a stance.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, they're just like wait what oh the shutdown?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
No, I'm against it. I guess Republicans are at fault. Okay,
I mean it goes that deep, but only that deep? Ye,
so so much dishonesty.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, and then you have the other problem in this.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I'm not going to go off on this because we've
talked it to death, and we all know it's true.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The media bubbles blah blah blah algorithms.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But like this whole Portland story, for instance, it's as
if there are two stories going on and one of
them is for one crowd gets your media for one place,
and another stories for another crowd to get and they
don't and they're barely like the circles in a vendery Graham.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
There's very little overlap other.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Than like the town we're talking about, there's almost no
overlap in the in the story coverage. So if you're
talking to somebody whose news flowing algorithms lean the other direction,
you can't even have a conversation.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Right right, I don't know what we do with that
invading peaceful cities.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That's probably gonna become the norm with all stories, I suppose.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, well we're screwed, and we're screwed, absolutely so.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Darren Judge hit a giant home run bring the Yankees
back last night from death door, and that's no serious
is now two to one?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Banged it off the fair pole.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah, reminding casual baseball fans, that's the so called foul
pole was actually in fair territory.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
You hit the pole, hits a home run. I didn't
know that was a home run. The ball hit the pole,
round trip, poor bag, here went yard. That ball is
not playable, exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
The giant Aaron Judge, yes, seven feet six, five hundred pounds.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Correct that that's a very large man.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
James, call mey is gonna be in court today.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So this isn't a televised hilarity though, right, This is
like actual court proceedings.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
This isn't the nonsense of.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Like those hearings like that we're going on yesterday, where
there's no real skin in the game and it's all
a joke. This is actual court proceedings in the Justice department.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
All right, it's a I don't know. I thought it
was a hearing, but I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Is it an affid they taken an AFFI David, I'll
have to look it up.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But you know it's the whole he lied under oath
thangy that even all my conservative legal friends seem to
think is not going to work.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
No, it's just too hard to prove the charge. I mean,
he certainly did lie. Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
He also seven foot six, but one hundred and five
pounds very thin, and his Hubris percentage is eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
I wasted a fair amount of time before the show today.
Let me preface this by saying that there were a
number of and I don't know what the number was,
it was a large number of pro Hamas rallies yesterday
on October seventh, the second anniversary of the horrific, brutal,
(06:39):
tortuous rape, murderous.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Savage attack.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
We've got some amazing clips from idiots from those rallies, right,
And I know at least a few of those rallies
were in and around New York City. And I spent
a long time scraping through the New York Times website
trying to find coverage of those rallies.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Couldn't find it.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Now, maybe I didn't dig long and deep enough, but
I dug pretty long and deep and went past a
hell of a lot of coverage, of a hell of
a lot of stories and a hell of a lot
of opinion pieces about this or that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You have groups vowing.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
More October seventh, over and over again talking openly about
the evil Jews, just open bigotry, hatred, calling for war
and death. If that had been three blanking white supremacist,
in bred jackasses, the New York Times would have led
with it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But the pro.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Islamic supremacist crowd, the anti semi crowd, now they're not
worth covering you, all right, nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Joe Biden said, the.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Ran the reason he ran for president is when he
saw that stuff from Charlottesville. I looked in their eyes hate.
I just thought, I can't let this country become that.
And I was like a half dozen idiots, And you
got people coast to coast saying the same thing.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, what's really out about it is yeah, they're saying
virtually the same thing about the Jews. But no, no, no,
this one's okay. This one's okay because it's the Palestinians
at all. All Right, I am impocrites, liars, you know, Yeah, Okay, enough,
We'll play.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Some clips from the dumbest of the people that we're
at these pro Palestine, pro Homa protests coming up.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's absolutely amazing. I mean, it's just stunning.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Hanson and I both had the problem last night as
we were going through the very long clip of is
this real?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
This guy can't be real?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
But it becomes clear it's real combination of stupidity and ignorance,
which are different things. Yeah, but it's striking, yeah, but
utterly vehement, right angry, ready to take up arms on
their completely either asinine or horribly ill informed worldview or
(08:59):
the very least politically support violence. Yes, oh yeah, yeah,
and more is coming out coming out rather on that
piece of crap. Who's running for attorney general in Virginia, Jones,
Jay Jones.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's a worse guy than I thought.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
We've just scratched the surface yesterday talking about this sicko.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We should do that.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Again, maybe at the bottom of this hour for people
who haven't heard it, because it's something.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, there are.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Significant forces on the left that are openly pro political violence,
and they will say so. Then they will deny it,
and you know, the aforementioned bigfoot media will shoveler being
say there's nothing to see here. Really, Republicans pounds as
if they cover it at all. But yeah, there are
open calls for political violence on the left. I don't
(09:51):
want to get bogged down in this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Maybe we'll talk about it later, but just I think
it's a common feeling that people have of Jim, just
like unmoored or broken or whatever. That nothing is like
it used to be, and it's been.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That way for a while now.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And I wonder how much of that you know, because
our politics got pretty that way prior to COVID, and
then wokeism came along, and George Floyd didn't really have
anything to do with COVID allthough COVID played a role
in that they were allowed to march and nobody else was.
But anyway, But then COVID, which was unlike anything, but anyway,
(10:29):
everything feels like, ah, broken, everything's just broken.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My heart is broken, well James Comy's heart, for instance, Yes, yes, well.
And I would point out also that the things that
tended to keep us moored, friends, family, civic engagement, that
sort of thing is going away because of the omnipresence
of the online world.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I mean, I can understand how people have anxiety, George,
so much anxious things going on.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Anyway, we should start to show officially keep that faith.
Thank you, James Comy, keeping my god, he's such a hero.
He's not gonna live on his knees and you shouldn't either,
That's what I guess.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Anybody ever been sainted while they were still alive. Because
I have a nominee. But I'm not afraid. So let's
have a try out.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty. On this it is
hump day. We have a camel in the studio. It's
October the eighth, the twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and Getty,
and we approve of this program.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Let's begin then officially according to the FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Here we go. Come on, now, let's get it on
at Mark, how do you think? How do you think
that happened? How did Jews start owning everything?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They use their dark magic.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I guess like.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I'm Jewish and I would like to have some magic,
but I don't feel like I have any magic.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
How do you think I can access this dark magic?
I don't know if you're maybe using your magic on
me right now? Oh Lord? Is this pro homos protester?
We got to play more of it. It's just un.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
But the Jews own everything. Jews are behind all the
bad things are happening, and all the Jews need to
go away and then to be killed. They need to
be put in ovens. He even gets into we could
use ovens at fast food places to put the Jews
in great again, like you said earlier, he's talking about
that out loud. It's just like, isn't that funny guy
talking about putting Jews in the ovens? If a right
winger was saying that off the charts news come, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah. I tell you you know.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I don't want to be a complete downer today. I
swear I don't. But if a stupid, ignorant people person
kills you, you're just as dead.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Oh and you know, on a lighter note, he cancels
my votes.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
We have a stupid ignorant person who wanted people dead
that got caught on a in a violent government plot
yesterday with two hundred bombs.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We got to get to that story that is that
is something else I made them.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I don't know what you feed a camel. I should
have chat gpt' did. But in baked beans last week,
I thought maybe cammel's like baked beans, and it did
not work out well.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Explosive, just so imaginable. This week I brought up beayle hay,
which seems better than baked beans. I don't know. So
we got Katie's.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
We got Katie's headlines on the waist, stay here, had
a lot of good audio today. So the leading candidate
for governor in California name who I didn't even know
her name when I live in California.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Is that a Republican or Democrat? Gotcha? That is pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter. I've heard the name, but
I don't know anything about her. She had a disastrous
interview yesterday that has really gone viral, and we'll play
clips of that a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Given Katie's a bad name.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Dragging down, you know, the average Katie rating in America,
that's right, terrible. Hey, there's a lot to get to today.
Let's figure out who's reporting what it's. The lead story
was Katie Green Katie from.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The Washington Post.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Senior US officials when Gaza ceasefire talks as momentum builds
for peace.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Yeah, so Jared Kushner and uh Weiss cough, I guess
they they aren't leaving. They say they're not leaving until
a deal is signed. They're staying a whitcar. However many
days it takes.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I still hate their chances to get past Square one
or two.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But you don't think they'll get something signed. I assume
something will be signed.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
That's square one. Then square two is like the preliminary face.
After that it goes haywire, I would guess. But again,
I'm not rooting for that. I'm rooting for exactly the opposite.
But man, that's a tough road.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Ad from NBC Comy is charged with lying to Congress,
which he denies.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I mean, we'll see how that turns out. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And if there is not enough evidence to convict him,
which even conservative legal pundits say is true, he's gonna
go so full martyr, standing up for all that is good,
write a book, go on.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He'll be on the View and Jimmy Kimmel and oh,
it's going to be hard to take Gail.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Very re embraced by the left in a disgusting boot
licking display the shifting loyalties.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
From ABC News.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Trump signals optimism about US Canada trade agreement.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Saying, quote, We've come a long way.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know, back to the last story. You know that
people regularly say I threw up in my mouth a little.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Bit that that that freeze.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I really did on the thought I can picture James
Camy on Jimmy Kimmel and the standing ovation he gets
when he walks out.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
And just the woh, I don't can we talk about
gardening or sports or something.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It's just so gross, so gross. From Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
ICE arrests ninety one illegal immigrant semi truck drivers in
licensing crackdown.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
That whole licensing truckers thing has turned out to be
quite the scandal.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's not uprising. I mean, you got people who don't
speak a lick English.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Uh, how did you pass any tests in the United
States of America?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You can't read the road signs.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
You fail if if somebody gives you the test retroactively,
you failed.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Blaming all these different.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Companies were hiring because they can pay him so much
less and give them so many fewer benefits of hiring
illegals for probably for.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Decades, and it was accommodation of Blue states that just believed,
now human being is illegal, and Red states just just
really needed truckers so are like, yeah, let's not worry
about it. They're already doing the construction and packing the meet.
We'll have them drive the trucks.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
And finally from the Babylon Bee Chicago mayor, hoping his
ice free zones work out better.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Than his gun free zones. Ah oh that blow landed. Woof.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
So there's this whack job politician out there that is
making like seriously, out loud, violent threats against his opponent,
like I want him dead that sort of thing, and
Democrats are standing behind him, which is amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Yep, yep, Jay Jones of Virginia, name that should live
in infamy.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, if you haven't heard this story, it's worth sticking
around from.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And then we got some great audio from crazy people
at the protests yesterday, which would be a lot more
fun if there weren't so many of them and they
weren't so dangerous.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Anyway, We've got a lot of good stuff on the way.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and
Getty on demand.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The Washington Post confirms j Jones sent texts that imagine
shooting the Republican Speaker of the House. J Jones witched
the speaker's wife could watch her own child die in
her arms. It's so disgusting, it's hard to believe, but
it's true.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I hear that, and I would think if that is
like provable, well, then obviously that person has to get out.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Of the race. I mean there's just no oh yeah, yeah,
clearly so.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
But no, the Democratic Party is embracing j Jones because
he apologized or something or took full responsibility or something.
So Jones is running for Attorney General in Virginia, trying
to take back the state after Glenn Youngkin and moderate
Republicans like the current ag took over the state in
(18:17):
the last elections. And it's worth contemplating for a second.
We're talking about the attorney general. We're talking about the
top law enforcement officer in the state of Virginia.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So it's not just like an assembly member or something,
or a recorder of deeds or like the environmental director.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Now this guy is running to be the top law
enforcement officer in Virginia. And as Jeff Blair in the
National Review put, and I thought this was great, he's
also a moral monster of the first degree. And it
all goes back to, among other things, text and phone
calls he had with a state Republican delegate back in
(19:02):
twenty twenty two, his friendly chit chat about how his
opponents should go, how he would like to see them
die and quote go to their funerals and piss on
their graves to send them out a wash in something
was rude.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Obviously.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Blair actually points out that's something like Lyndon Johnson might say,
though it's nasty.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
But if that's it, you know, okay.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
But it was then that he started to muse out
loud to miss Coiner, that's carry Coinner, that's the person
he was talking to. He declared, if he was trapped
in a room with a gun and two bullets alongside Hitler,
Paul Pott, and Todd Gilbert, who is the Republican Speaker
of the State House, he would shoot Gilbert twice.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's an old and cruel joke.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
But oh my god, during this era of assassination attempts
and violence and stuff, it's terrible. But and here's the
part that I should have emphasized wore yesterday when we
talked about this late in the show, when she said, hey,
that's not funny. You need to stop. He called her
(20:13):
and explained himself all too clearly, and she says it
was utterly clear he was not kidding, and he was
not kidding on the square where you're joking but not
really joking. No, he was adamant. He was making an
impassioned argument in defense of killing people. He said he
(20:34):
thought at least some Republicans deserved to die for their politics,
and he extended that wish to their children as well.
According to the source The Democratic, quoting the news story, now,
former legislator double down on the call, saying the only
way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves,
like the pain that parents feel when they watched their
children die from gun violence. He asked her to provide
(20:58):
a counter example to disprove his claim. Then at that point,
he suggested he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own
child die in her arms, so that Gilbert might can
reconsider his political views, and Coiner hung up the phone
in disgust.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
If you say that stuff seriously, you're a crazy person.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Now you say it jokingly, you have pretty out there
jokes as a politician in the current climate. But I
could see doing it, especially in private. But if you
got called on it, it'd be like, well, no, you know,
I'm kidding obviously, but I hate the guy.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You'd say something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
But he didn't, right, He said, no, no, no, I
mean it well, yeah, And Coyner called him on it
one more time, and he said, yes, I've told you
this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they
move on policy.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And then, of course the punchline being Democrats in Virginia
are standing by the guy. He's expressed remorse and he apologized,
so I'm fine with him.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah. Oh. He also he threw in at one point.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
That that he was justified in his desire to see
a mother punished for her politics by the death of
her children, because they're just breeding little fascists anyway, Wow,
talking about the Republican fella, and they're two beautiful small children.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I hadn't heard that one. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Can you imagine this moral monster being the top cop
in Virgini. It's disgusting and I hate to even do this.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I hate to waste my breath on this next sentence,
My precious, precious breaths. You know, I've only got somebody
left h right at this point in my life, not
many looking at you. But if somebody running in a
red state for Republican Party said the same thing, the
media would be going crazy. It'd be the only story
(22:48):
they're covering. Until he finally backed out of the race.
But it's quite possible that if you're a Democrat, are
you taking mainstream media haven't heard this story at all,
because I haven't seen it in most places.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
No, No, it's they've touched on it in some of
the bigfoot media, mostly under the banner of Republicans pounds
and accuse Jay Jones of right. Right, of course, I'm
going to give the last word on this, or unless
you want to throw in more to Jeff Blair, who
I really appreciate, is writing with the understanding that is
that it is dangerous to speak of the left or
(23:22):
the right as a whole. These movements are infinitely more
complex than any simple characterization. He mentions, it is undeniable
that the language of leftist radicalism is steeped in the
color red. Every political defeat is an apocalyptic catastrophe, the
dark cloud of fascism forever threatens to descend. The only
answer is direct action or propaganda of the deed, and
(23:44):
only when evil people are made to suffer and die.
These are Jones's thoughts near verbatim. Mind you not mine, Jeff, right,
That's the only way they might possibly change their ways
and agree with you again. I emphasize J. Jones did
not let slip a few air thoughts. He made a
passionate appeal to a bleak moral worldview that alarmingly is
consistent with other rhetoric and violent slaughter we have seen
(24:07):
coming from the left in recent months and weeks. And
he wants to be the attorney general of the state
of Virginia. Let the voters decide. You think he weathers this.
I certainly hope he loses. I mean, if a and
this is just this is the truth, and I've known
this for a very long time. And the sooner you
(24:28):
know what, the healthier your brain will be. If a
pole comes out tomorrow that says, Okay, this guy's now
going to lose to the Republican the Democrats will turn
on him right and say, oh, moral outrage, et cetera,
et cetera. But if the pole comes out tomorrow and
he's a head, they'll say, oh, he's apologized, there was
ill considered words and blah blah blah, and they'll stick
with them completely.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
They hang those principles, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Their only principle, that it's not a guiding principle, is
their only principle is we want power?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah, okay, a line was crossed in technology yesterday. I
want to tell you about in a second to first,
we need to tell you about this. If you like
to get into the football action and take your strong
opinions about who's hot and who's not and what team
can't be beat and whatnot and turn it into cash
instead of just mouthing off to your friends at the bar,
you need to.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Get the Prize Picks app. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Price Picks is the easiest, most fun, simplest way to
get in on daily fantasy sports. You just pick two
or more player stats and say I think he's going
to do more or less.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
If you get your picks right, you could cash in.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
And Price Picks is the only app app that offers
what they call stacks, meaning you can pick the same
player up to three times in the same lineup. For instance,
you can puck pick more on Josh Allen's passing yards
rush yards, but less on his touchdowns because he's throwing
more at whatever. You can combine that player's stats into
your lineup.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Well, that's pretty cool. So download the Prize Picks app today.
Use the code Armstrong to get fifty dollars in lineups.
After you play your first five dollars lineup. Yeah, you
don't have to win, it's automatic.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You play a five dollars lineup, very modest, and you
get fifty dollars to play around with. Prize picks. Oh,
prize picks app Armstrong is the code prize picks. It's
good to be right.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
So there's a new social media app out that is
all Ai called Sora.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It just came out a week ago. And who's behind that? Altman?
Is that?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I think it's an Altman thing? Yeah, open Ai and
right now it's invitation only. You have to have a
code and I couldn't find a code, and thank you
to whoever it was. It's emailed listen, sent a code
and I used the code and I got in. But
here's the main thing. And as soon it's going to
be open to everybody. I just wanted to be in
before everybody else so I can feel special. Very important
(26:37):
that I feel special.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But so I was on.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I was rolling through Sora and the whole thing is
it's everything on there is AI and I kind of
like knowing that. So you're not scrolling and thinking is
this real or not? Or Bubba? Every single thing on there,
you know, is completely AI. So it's it's interesting. I
came across several videos where you could not at all
(27:03):
tell that it wasn't the lips moving the voice saying,
because as recently as a few months ago it was
pretty good. You know, like if you had Donald Trump
saying I think we should attack Paris tomorrow, you know,
the lips didn't quite match up or something like that.
But there was like a showing hands in this Martin
(27:23):
Luther King Jr. The high I have a dream speech
and is I have a dream was something about you know,
AI conquering the world, and it.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Was perfect, I mean one hundred percent perfect.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
God help us. So, like I said, we're there. We're
wondering when we would get there.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We're there.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Yeah, on where you could have a video that there
is not a hint in there that that wasn't Donald Trump,
you know, in a in a private meeting declaring war
on France or whatever. Right, and don't I don't know
where we go from now, because the flip side of
that being, of course, no matter what, who gets caught
doing what like this guy here, except he's standing by
(28:01):
his statements. So it makes it harder but you could deny,
You could deny anything and say that I was ai.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
How is something going to prove you wrong? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
The interesting thing about the Jay Jones thing is he
said he I've called to Uh, I've tried to personally
apologize to mister Gillis was it, and his wife and
his children and his mother and his dog.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But you know what he hasn't done nobody's asked him
to do, is specifically disavow the point of view that
no people have to feel actual pain to change their politics,
and so we are justified in causing that physical pain.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
He hasn't addressed that, which is interesting.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
But back to your greater point, what percentage of the
population do you think at this point, just in the
US could see a video of say, Donald Trump saying
we're canceling the next election and be fooled by it, see.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It and say, oh my god, it's true.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
It's true, and not think, ah, it's probably a deep fake,
is it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It's it's a sizeable percentage.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well right, And then the other question is how big
a percentage does it have to be to really make
a mess of things?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Well, yeah, I think we're here, And how will that
change in a year or two? How will it change
in the midterms. I mean, and we're not gonna talk
about the midterms. But if every single and as cheap
and easy as it is to do this, this is
not a pipe dream. If every single swing house district
(29:37):
was just flooded with deep fake videos that were indistinguishable
from legitimate candidate a beating his wife dragon or is
through a hotel lobby like he's a diddy, all right
and saying loathsome stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Well, well, imagine today's technology in twenty twenty, when you
could have made all kinds of videos of people loading
boxes of ballots into trucks that looked one hundred percent
true in.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Various places like that. Yeah for instance. Yeah, oh that's
a great for instance. Yeah, oh boy, that's gonna be fun.
This is gonna be a fun last part of my life.
Oh boy, I'll be in the woods if you need me.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
We got mail leg takes off myself mailbag on the
way stay here. So a complete nut job arrested with
two hundred bombs, some of which made with the same
chemicals the Oklahoma City bomber used, which was pretty successful.
Was outside of church where all of the Supreme Court
justices were supposed to show up for a mass on Sunday,
(30:37):
And luckily the guy was caught and he didn't kill
all nine justices, which have been quite the problem.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Keep ranting about the outer control, fascist Maga Court, Chuck Schumer,
just keep doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We'll reap the whirlwind.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
God, Kavanaugh, you will reap the whirlwind. What a monstery
is mail? I'm sorry freedom loving to the day.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
This one's a little self helpy, but I think it's
a good one.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Continuing our series on change, writer Mandy Hale says change
is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck
somewhere you don't belong.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Ah, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, this is gonna be hard, but staying in this
situation will be harder.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's the long term pain versus the short term pain.
That's what you got to think about.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Yeah, the pains spread out over many years of continuing
to do what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah. Uh, here's your mail bag. That's a good one.
That's a good philosophical thought.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
It is drops a note mail bag at Armstrong and
Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Uh, this is Russ from Portland. He writes, greetings Jents
and Katie and Jack. Not sure what category Jack falls into.
I'm putting some pieces together here. Wow, let's see Jack
takes off his co like a girl. Jack can't grow mustache.
Jack can't grill like a man, only like a hobo.
But the biggest tell. Jack seems really excited about the
(32:09):
new Tea Swizzle album and has been jamming out to
it like a fourteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Fourteen year old girls.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Also take off their coats like a girl, can't grow mustaches,
and can't grill. Something you want to tell us Jack,
or is a Jacqueline? It's okay, we still love you.
Maybe you can get some makeup tips from Katie.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
That's funny, got a whole riff.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Henry and I were watching that video I take my
coat off like a girl's on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I watch It's pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Actually, eah boy, let's see another Jay in San Jose,
says guys, The internet social media echo chamber seems to
be entering its teenage hormone phase. Moody acne totally uninformed,
yet unquestionably certain, brought to us with immense computing power
of rapidly expanding aid the whirlwind is just beginning. It
(32:55):
will get harder to see reality because crap in eagles, crap.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Out with two teenage boys. That description sounded pretty accurate. Yeah,
I wish you were wrong, Jay, I don't can't come up.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
With how you are.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Let's say Alvin in beautiful, Berserkly, California. I've often wondered
why the Trump haters are not at all bothered by
the assassination attempts. They just completely pass over them like
they hadn't happened.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Then it hit me.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
They really think it was justified. It's like those fantasies
of going back in time and killing baby Hitler. They
think this is like the attempt on Hitler when he
was out arranged when the bomb went off, you know,
the famous bomb plot. They really think Trump is a
new Hitler. It's disgusting, but I think they actually hate
him that much a certain percentage of people.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And this would be another super interesting study.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Maybe a university could do it, but it's got to
be one of the four to six not completely woke
universities in America go with the most extreme rhetoric. You know,
and we've hit you with a couple of examples of
it this segment and poll how many people take it literally?
How many people don't understand? Oh no, this is just
(34:05):
supposed to whip me up and get me going. But
I mean he's not actually Hitler. I mean, come on,
que say oh yeah, it's just the same.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
And how many and how what percentage do you need
to make things won't make life really hard?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Probably not very many.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
Well, in the best prosecution of Hitler, well see right there,
unless that's Ai, it's not.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It was before. Anyway.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I think that one of the best indictments you can
make of these people in their rhetoric is that if
I did take you literally and seriously and you were correct,
violence would be justified.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
