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 Jetty and he arms wrong man who live
from the studio c see signor on summer Eve.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are in a dimly lit room deeper from the
bowels the Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And Getty communications compounded.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Alexander Stubb.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Alexander Stubb could be a pivotal figure in history. He
has to a large extent, convinced Donald J. Trump that
Putin is a menace, a psychopath, and a liar. And
part of the reason he has Trump's ear. Alexander Stubb
the President of Finland. Really good golfer. Oh so Trump
(01:15):
was playing golf with this dude, honest to god cool.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So whatever it takes, you think that played a role
in Trump's a different view of Putin. It's practically guaranteed
they've become buds. And if you know anything about Finland's
history vis a vis the Soviet Union in Russia, the
Finns don't play when it comes to Russian aggression.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
They know all about it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, As we were talking last week on the anniversary
of dropping the bomb, the war in the Pacific really
started in thirty seven when Japan invaded China. The war
in Europe really started in thirty eight, is that what
it was? Thirty six whenever Russian invaded Finland. They went
to war at a very high level, right at the
(02:04):
time that the rest of the Europe was exploding, and
it was a bloody, bloody battle. But you're right, Finland
does not play no and incredibly tough, resilient and realistic people.
And this guy who he's really an interesting guy's like
a triathlon guy and an avid golfer, speaks five languages.
(02:26):
But he and Trump bonded and become buddies, and he's
been in Trump's here about Putin. Well good, you know
what I was thinking that I was thinking, I would
love to see Trump. So there's going to be a
news conference. That's breaking news. It looks like there's going
to be a news conference after the summit. Trump and
Putin's standing up there taking questions. Really, that's what all
(02:49):
the reporting is. Wow, I know the Western press, Yeah, yeah,
I know. My podcast I'm always talking about from Telegraph,
which is the best info on the war in Ukraine
that exists on planet Earth, if you're into it. I
listen every day to at least part of it, and
I've got some really good stuff. They passed along yesterday,
but they sent one of their reporters to be there.
(03:12):
So the White House has not confirmed a press conference.
The belief is Trump never turns down a press conference,
and Moscow has said yes to a press conference. And
I was just thinking, you know, the things did not
go well in twenty eighteen when Trump was standing up
next to Putin. I don't know why they would lie
about intelligence, which was a horrible move, a horrible thing
for him to say. He took the side of Putin
(03:34):
over the United States, and it just I hated the
whole thing. But I would love it if Trump stood
up there and treated Putin like he treated Rand Paul
in the debate stad like he treated Chris Christy. I
would love if he did that sort of thing. I
would love if he turned to him and said, look
this guy. I've been dealing with this guy for years now.
Every word out of him is a lie. If he
(03:54):
told me it was three o'clock, I'd check my watch,
he does nothing. I would love it if Trump because
we all know he's got that gear, right, treat him
like Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
We know he's got that Wow. How careful. Now you're
going to start World War three? Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I suppose that is one possibility of how it would go.
The other is much like the previous experience. But I'm
leaning more toward you know, the scenario you've painted. Oh,
that would be fantastic, That'd be great for the world.
Just end this charade. Look, he's nothing but lies. Everything's
a lie. We know what he's doing here. He's just
(04:30):
trying to drag this out. He kills civilians every single day.
He has no interest in peace. I would love for
somebody to stay that standing next to the guy right
right now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's the truth. This is exciting. I know you're ready
to do a Saturday show. I'm ready, I'm in. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think the stakes are very, very high. I assume
that national media is going for Eyeball's earballs and clicks
because the amount of time they're giving the cop situation
in DC versus the summon.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I was watching ABC News last night.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They got cops in DC they got like four different
disturbances on planes that are you know, one off, have
nothing to do with you, and a weather thing. And
then they get to like a one minute package around
Putin and Trump meeting.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
This is a big freaking deal, the.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
News coming pivot point in history, absolutely a massive point
in history. Now some guy yelled something on a plane
gets gets the lead, or yet another storm somewhere, Oh
my gosh, life threatening heat threatens the eastern part of
northern Kentucky. Will go to Ginger z or chief meteorologist.
What the hell if it's hot, wear a light shirt,
(05:42):
all right, take off your jacket. There you go, training outside,
go inside.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
If there is a press conference after that thing, whatever
I'm doing, I'm going to find a place to be
able to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That because that'll be freaking something. Yeah. Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So here's what I learned from the Telegraph podcast yesterday. Now,
there is always in a war a massive operation going
on on both sides for obvious reasons. I think I
get the feeling that the first casualty of war is
the truth. Thing is presented like I don't know what,
but of course it is. It's part of the job.
(06:21):
Of being at war is convincing your other enemy of
things that you know benefits you well and rallying your
own side. Yeah, it would be incredibly important. It'd be
malpractice if you didn't do that. But so the Telegraph
was reporting yesterday, the London Telegraph according to their sources.
Now this could be syops by Ukraine, but according to
(06:42):
their sources, it's it's closer to accurate than the Russian
version of that whole they broke through the line and
gobbled up a bunch of land is just not true.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's just not true.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
A few guys here and there on motorcycles went through
the line. The line where this occurred is very poorse
like the true are very far apart.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So you might have a mile where there's nobody.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So yeah, you could drive a dirt bike through there
and get way through there and claim you're there. But
Ukraine says the first group of there's three groups of
two to six men.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The first group they killed and they're hunting down the
second group. But the second or third group and they'll
kill them too. They didn't establish anything, but it's just
Russia trying to let the world know they're on the offensive.
They're gaining ground, so you know, we better come up
with something which is smart. Yeah, boy, this could go anywhere,
absolutely anywhere of the I don't know. You imagine five
(07:38):
different outcomes to this meeting, and in my mind, each
one is twenty percent likely, you know what I mean. Yeah,
just very very difficult to predict at all which direction
this might.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Go well, and Trump being such a wild card on
what he says.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You know, you just don't know what's going to happen
there either, right, man, They're going through a lot of
scenarios on Morning Joe, which I watch because I know
Trump watches it too. Of you know, Putin trying to
play Trump into a situation where they're both bad mouthing Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Not impossible to see happen.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right, right, But getting back to our general manager, as
Putin and his fellow KGB indoctrinated mind game, you know,
expert advisors, we're trying to figure out how to manipulate Trump.
I'll bet they didn't game plan. But what if you
like totally bonds with one of our most implacable critics
(08:38):
over the game of golf, Right, you know, it's a
complicated beast that Donald j the most interesting thing I
heard about the whole Europe thing. So Zelensky was in London,
ten Downing Street meeting with care Stormer. They made a
big announcement most interesting thing I heard about, the whole
Europe part of this. We can do next, but after
we start officially, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on
(09:00):
this at his Thursday August fourteenth, the year twenty twenty
five or Armstrong and getting we approved of this program. Okay,
let's begin then officially. According to SCC rules and regulations,
the show starts at Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Get this Trump is hosting Putin at a US military
base because it's peak tourist season in Alaska and the
options were limited.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
This meeting could end a war in Alaska's like, oh, sorry, but.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The Marriott conference room is all tied up with a
rotary Clubs Salmon Retreat, Salmon Retreat, Rhode Island's Clubs Salmon Retreat.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Jimmy so.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
As Henry Kissinger famously said, if I want to talk
to Europe, who do I call? The problem with referring
to Europe like.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's one thing, is it's not.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's a whole bunch of different countries with different ideas,
and so there was a I forget who it was,
as some reporter or something. The quote is the best
part doesn't matter who came from observing Europe around this
whole Ukraine thing. So, uh, Trump. The Wall Street Journal
is reporting today, like right now, that Trump has agreed
(10:07):
to the red lines that Zelensky in Europe came up
with that include no land swap without him signing off
on it.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Trump has agreed to that, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That would be a big deal Lensky sign Yeah, that
would be a big deal if that is true. But
how much guarantee on anything of a ceasefires Europe willing
to do in terms of troops or you know, threatening
given weapons or whatever. And uh, this person who observes
Europe says, the problem with Europe is it's a miss
(10:39):
a misshmash of those who want but can't, can but
won't and can't but won't wow, which is pretty interesting. Yeah,
you got some countries that could help, but they ain't.
You got some countries that would love to but they
(11:00):
can't actually because they ain't got nothing. And then there's
the won't ame can't crowd, which would be you know,
probably a third of Europe, right, Yeah, And look the
idea of them banding the other informing the EU.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It was smart. It was a good idea.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
In some ways. They're still working it out. But if
you were to look at the last three hundred years
of history in Europe and somebody told you, all right,
you got to pick one word to describe the history
of Europe, that word would have to be war. I mean,
they've been killing the hell out of each other every
chance they get.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You could list a dozen.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Different conflicts just just to warm up various you know,
land battles and you name it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Just constant warfare.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The reporter and independence movements that turned violent, blah blah blah.
Reporter I was listening to yesterday had been in Ukraine
and was talking about the absolutely amazing, brilliant, cutting edge
drone stuff they're doing in Ukraine and garages. You got
really smart handi dudes working out of garages, nearing the
front lines, near the front lines, coming up with new
(12:07):
stuff every day to try to adjust to what Russia
is doing. But they don't have enough money to do
what they want to do, so they run gofundmes and
they put gofundmes up hoping that people will donate enough
money so they can amazon various parts or do various
R and D everything.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Like that and how and his point was how ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It is that Europe hasn't stepped up and is funding
these things, so they're not using gofundmes to try to
figure out how to build their drones. They got the
same problem every socialist civilizations ends up with, They're out
of money. Unbelievable. We got Katie's headlines on the way
and a bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I have a comment on the Big Taylor Swift podcast.
She rarely does interviews and did a very very long
interview with her boyfriend and his brother yesterday two days ago. Also,
I learned a lot about the whole redistricting fight that
I can't believe Republicans haven't been able to get onto
talk shows when they're interviewed. They do a terrible job
(13:04):
of preparing for this stuff. Two parties, the Evil Party
and the Stupid Party, also coming up. As Katie Green
herself prepares to read us headlines, one of the most egregious,
dishonest headlines in the history of looking at egregiously dishonest headlines,
and it came out in the last week or so,
got a tremendous amount of attention. I'll unmask it for
(13:28):
you in a bit. Right now, let's figure out who's
supporting what it's leak story with Katy Green.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Katy already starting with ABC News. Putin says Trump is
making quote energetic.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Efforts to end the war as the summit nears. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We were just in the lunch room and Michael is saying,
I said, Trump needs to treat Putin like he treated
Chris Christie Orran Paul on the debate stage. Need to
treat him like he treated Zelensky in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's what I like to see. Bring jd Vance. Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They have a wingman say to Trump there, say to
poot into his face. You're losing a thousand guys every
two days or whatever the number is, you butcher.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Speaking of crap headlines from NBC, Ice sent three US
citizen children, including one with cancer, back to Honduras with
their deported mothers.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, so you're satan for dividing families and your satan
for keeping them together. Okay, super thanks NBC for your input.
How are your ratings.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
From CNN Newsom says California to redraw congressional maps to
quote end Trump presidency.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay, I got a bunch of interesting information and redistricting
that I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I should know it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I should have heard it from Republicans out there when
they're being interviewed about this, but they don't do their
research for some reason.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
From the New York Times, fed faces high bar for
big cuts despite White House pressure.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, that's all interest rate. That's interest rate. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
From the New York Post, Toronto Film Festival outrageously cuts
October seventh documentary because Hamas didn't give footage permission.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
This story is incredible. We'll get into it later.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
From The Independent, Musk's Grock calls Trump the most notorious
criminal in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
When asked about violent crime in the city.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Ah, well, it's a whatever, open model language learning thingy.
And that's been a talking point of the left. That's
what Joaquin Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the House,
said the other day. Yeah, there's criminals in Washington, d C.
It's at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Ball Singer.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A million votes just changed because you're cleverness hockey.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But that's probably where gro got it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
From page six, Jesse Smollett claim Chicago police and ron
Emmanual are villains. Why while denying the hate crime hoax,
he is still going with this.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Not going to you are a cuckoo bird.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Way to double down, bro, Yeah, you get more support
every day from what I've heard.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
USA today.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Man charged with assaulting federal agent in d C with
a sandwich went up to the ice officers and said
I don't want you here and hurled.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
A sub And now he's caught a fellon e chair.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
She threw something somebody. Ye, well right, and it's a
waste of a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
From Fox News, Chicken linked to slightly more gut disruption
than beef, according.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
To a new study. I'm glad to hear that. What
his gut disruption?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm a beef guy. You know what gut disruption is it?
You know what you've heard the guy in there groaning?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It is Oh good?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Wow, all right Babylon b quote crime is down in DC,
shouts journalists currently being pummeled by group of thubs.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Wow, yeah, no kidding, What a story that is there's
actually a class action lawsuit going on against the DC
city fathers and mothers for systematically misreporting crime.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Interesting, Yeah, we got more on that too. We got
a lot of stuff to catch up on.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I hope you can stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war
after your meeting on Friday.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yes they will, Yeah, what will.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
The haunts day will be conservations, tariffs, There will be I.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Don't have to say they will be very severe consequences.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I got a lot of attention. He wasn't specific, but
we're gonna get into that more in hour two.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So I can't remember were you gonna go first on
the Hamas staff or was I okay, all right, great?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So this is just.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I can't believe I still have the has to be
to be surprised by the dishonesty of the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's my childlike nature.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But last month you saw, and it was actually just
a couple of weeks ago, really big headlines in Reuters, CNN, ABC, NPR,
et cetera that the USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance quote
(18:28):
found no evidence of systemic theft by the Palestinian militant
group HAMAS UABC. Specifically, USAID reported failed to find any
evidence that HAMAS engaged in widespread diversions of assistance.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Okay, here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So USAID, one of the offices that still is funded,
does internal analysis tracking reports of waste, fraud, and abuse
of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
According to that report, over the covered.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Period, which was eighteen months, they received one hundred and
fifty six notifications of fraud, waste and abuse from their
NGO non governmental organization partners in Gaza, amounting to a
loss of about five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The key finding was for.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
All one hundred and fifty six incidents, partners did not
provide any information in their incident reports alleging sanctioned group
or foreign terrorist organization involvement. Again, the key finding was
our NGO partners did not say anything about foreign terrorist
(19:42):
organization involvement. But when the analysis was leaked to legacy
news organizations, they reported something completely different that there was
no evidence. They failed to find any evidence. There is
a world of difference. These are very different things. Oh
my god, between notifications of made misuse and actual misuse
(20:05):
and quoting Jonas do.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here in an article.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Two sources familiar with USAID and its analysis confirmed that
they're the partner's failure to report terrorist involvement does absolutely
not mean there is no evidence of theft by Hamas.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The report appears to be wholly reliant on self reporting
by UN agencies and NGOs who are extremely reticent to
report Hamas interference out of fear of violent retribution by Hamas,
said a senior.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Official familiar with the USA report.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was assuming it was because they're ideologically on the
side of the Palestinians and Hamas and hate Israel. But
you're saying they're physically afraid. Wow, oh yeah, yeah. These
are the NGOs that are on the ground. They do
not dare call out Hamas for theft. So that's once
no matter that. The next story I'm going to do
is another example of that's once more of radical Islam
(21:00):
winning because Pete, because they threatened to hurt or kill.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You, right. A couple more items.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
When the Reuters study or a story was published, quote,
nobody at the highest levels of the USAID administration had
yet seen the report, said a senior official at the
State Department. It was deliberately and intentionally manufactured and distributed
to plant a deliberate false narrative. Worse yet, Hamas used
Reuter's framing to fuel accusations of starvation and genocide against
(21:27):
the US and Israel. Allegations of theft quote were reluctantly
recently refuted by an internal investigation by the USAID Agency,
which confirmed the absence of any reports or data indicating
the theft of aid by Hamas. Said a Hamas guy,
and that was dutifully reported by the mainstream media. If Hamas,
(21:47):
if there is evidence that Hamas was not stealing food,
it would be a very big story because that would
be incredibly out of character of their decades long reign.
Oh yeah, as a you know, a bunch of thugs
who steal stuff. It would be a seriously important headline
to say, Hummas no longer stealing aid. Yeah, as you said,
(22:09):
that would interrupt decades of And one more, very quick note.
We can get into this later maybe, but the UN
agency that actually declares we are in famine conditions or
we have a proto famine, or we have a famine
quietly changed their standards in.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
The last couple of months. Okay, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Well, as Jonah Goldberg wrote the other day in the
La Times, famine is a plural word. To have a famine,
you need lots of people starving. Why does the media
seem to be struggling so much to come up with
more than that one kid to put on their front
page if there are so many people starving? Real quickly
they used to the standard was you had to find
(22:52):
thirty percent of children in an area suffering from acute
malnutrition is shown by comparing their weight to their height.
Thirty percent comparing weight to height. The agency's July report
used another metric, mid upper arm circumference, a measure that
can be done much more quickly and is considered less precise.
It also lowered the thirty percent threshold down to fifteen percent,
(23:17):
cut it in half, and changed what they measure. That's
a pretty big shift in standards. One veteran eight insider
told the Washington Free Beacon, suggesting the IPC that's year
Integrated Food Security Phase classification blah blah blah quote is
lowering the bar or trying to make it easier for
the famine determination to be made.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The IPC report revealed.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That shift through a small statement attached to an asterisk
under a graphic titled when is famine classified?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I was a very skinny kid.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
If you would have measured my arm's circumference in seventh grade,
I'm sure I would have met the famine definition. I
had guns like Hulcoka and God Rest his soul. And
then this story, here's another one of Islam winning the day.
And I had to get to the very end of
the story to understand why Toronto Film Festival it's second
only to the con Film Festival in terms of film
(24:09):
festivals that are a big deal for your Hollywood elite,
and they all fly there and they go there and
they watch.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The films that they talk about them on blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
A new documentary about the October seventh attack on Israel
by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film
Festival because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from
the terrorist group to use their footage in the massacre,
the footage that those Hamas guys got with the gop
pros on top of their heads as they raped grandma's
(24:36):
and shop babies and all that sort of stuff. The
Toronto Film festival said, well, you don't have the rights
from them to use this, so we're not going to
allow your film. And I thought, again, it was just
outrageous there on the side of hamas they hate Israel.
At the end of the article they quote somebody the
New York Post said they learned that the film one
(24:57):
had insurance to protect its creators and festival from potential lawsuits.
On the actual legal part of it, I mean, who
is going to prosecute that case anyway?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Almas and sources told.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
The Post that the festival pulled the doc out of
concern that potential anti Israel protests would form in downtown
Toronto and could turn violent.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I was gonna say that rights things sounds like an
excuse to me, and that's absolutely true. Yeah, the angry
Muslims will tear the place apart, so can't show it.
So once again, just keep retreating Western civilization. Keep retreating.
It'll be fine. And I always use the same example.
The dudes that made South Park could make a musical
mocking Mormons. That was one of the biggest hit musicals
(25:42):
in America. Because the Mormons aren't going to kill you,
go ahead, make a movie mocking Islam anyone and run
it somewhere. But no you won't because they get not
just the Heckler's veto, but the murderous lunatics veto right,
you know, which brings us to one more point that
I'll flesh out later.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
God, this, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
We were not going to allow people to see this
movie about October seventh because you don't have the rights
from Hummas for this footage. Yeah that's yeah, of of
you know, entire families being machine guns. Yeah yeah, great piece.

So this university, a Tennessee professor wrote this piece, and
it's funny. It's a great minds think alike, or at
least my mediocre mind thinks like his.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
The question of what do you want to call it? Ideological?
Dam breaking, postponed confidence.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
He's writing about Great Britain and how there has been
overwhelming agreement on the immigration crisis there, but people haven't
known it. They've been thinking and folks, this may sound
fairly familiar to you, particularly if you live in Blue
states where you had become a browbeaten into thinking. I
(28:16):
guess everybody's into this DEI stuff and the critical theory
and queer theory and men can become women. I think
it's insane, but I'm looking around and nobody's disagreeing, So
I guess I'm in the minority. Right. You joined the
pronouns on your emails just because you think you're supposed to,
not because you believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Right and to avoid trouble.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, this guy's writing about how in Britain the powers
that be have been a straining mightily to keep people
from being able to express their opinions. But now that
it's happening, people are looking around and saying, no, I'm
not in a small minority of quote unquote bigots. Everybody agrees,
they just haven't let us say it out loud. And
(28:57):
it's a bit of a damn burst. So more on
that to come. Wow, that's pretty interesting. Yeah, yeah, And
we talked about that in another context. I think it
was the DEI thing, assumed acquiescence, assumed agreement. Where you're
sitting there in the humiliating racist Robin DiAngelo retraining to
(29:19):
convince you that white people are the source of all evil.
Blah blah blah, the whole dee I thing. And you're
looking around and you see one guy who looks like
he wants.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To say something, but everybody else is being quiet, so
I guess they agree. No, no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It's the people who just can't bring themselves to standing
up and say, don't assume you know what, have more confidence.
That's what I would say. If you listen to something
and think this is looney tunes, trust yourself. You're probably right.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So we got mail bag on the way.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
We'll jump back into the whole Putin Trump summit, which
I think is a huge deal that's happening tomorrow and
Alaska and a bunch of other news.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Hope you can stay here.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I just saw the video footage. You've probably heard the story.
It's getting way too much tension. Drunk nut job on
a plane swinging a skateboard around, screaming racial slurs. They
restrain him twice on the flight, he gets out twice.
Then finally this great, big, giant dude I just watched
the video of it comes over picks him up under
the arms like he's eight years old, carries him to
(30:23):
the back, sits him down.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Say sit out. Wow, I mean this dude was huge. Yeah,
that was great.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Quantity is its own quality, as they say about warfare.
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along
by Paolo. Guys, you must have seen mention this Thomas
Sowell quote, but just in case, it's one of the
all time greats quote. Envy was once considered one of
the deadly sins before it became one of the most
admired virtues under its new name social Justice.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
oOoOO, that's Tomas Sowell for the win.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Mailbag jumps, you know, mailbag at armstrung you get a
dot com great crappy emails today, Gotta start.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
With this one, though.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'm afraid, guys, I'm excited about this transition. It's a
lot less stressful. I've been listening to your show since
you arrived many years ago. I wish I had a
dollar for every time I recommended you to people, but
I can only half listen. Now. Jack has been driving
me crazy over the last couple of years, but his
rant about bone broth was the straw that broke the
(31:27):
Gamble's back, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
That was all time stupid. I didn't know where this
was going, but I didn't expect that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, well, we just keep kicking. Our beloved listeners are friends,
our supporters. Was the one that did bone broth.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Y is mine?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well, my thing is, it's just these things, bone broth, kale,
pink salt, whatever, they become trendy and then y'all jump
on it. And I don't know, Karen, bone broth is
fine and nutritious liquid food, and I support you're eating it,
and God bless you and all your efforts dietaryan Otherwise,
don't your little booboo and bone broth and just don't
(32:07):
life no.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No idiot probably lost as another listener.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
JT from Livermore bringing it so Chuck Todd talking about
a cold civil war as usual, the toster is a
metaphorical daylight and a dollar short. We're already in a
cold civil war, and like the original, there's a good
side and a bad side. The good side is the
side that believes in the good of the country and
inequality and freedom as in a side. Perhaps those words
(32:34):
sound familiar to you. Founding documents, Federals paper anybody, the
rule of law, and the right to self determination. The
bad side hates the country, loves any group that hates
this country, and is willing to do or say anything
to keep their power in order to continue their attempt
to attempt to fundamentally transform the country away from the
self determining, freedom seeking entity was created to be. It
(32:57):
is the Dems that support illegal immigration, open borders, porn
in school, experimental surgery on children, late term abortion and fantaside,
open air drug markets, anti free speech, anti constitution. It's
the Dems pushing to pack the court, resist pallid integrity,
spread lies like Russia Gate and Hunter's Laptop. It's the
Dems who support terrorists like Hamas and Iran, and admire
dictatorial regimes like China, and put the country's national security
(33:21):
at risk by hiding the sanility.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Of Biden for years.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, moving along on a similar but very different note,
Drew the millennial guys been seeing a lot of rabble
on the right over the gay Minnesota Vikings cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Guy, I'd missed this somehow. I don't know this story either.
Apparently they've got a gay fella as a cheerleader now, shocking,
Drew Wrights. I am sorry.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I didn't realize so many grown men on the right
cared so passionately about NFL cheerleading. I usually just watch
for the football part, but I guess a lot of
guys are really upset over the cheerleading. What's next a
lesbian on the Bachelor? This is unacceptable. I never understood
this tendency with people. Something exists your whole life, and
you could not have cared less about it because it's
dumb and pointless in this case. But if it changes somehow,
(34:10):
now I care. Just continue not caring. There's freedom in
not caring. Yeah, my son will tell you that Katie
has some details on the male gay cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh, there's not one, but two. Good lord gay male careleaders.
Good Lord in pairs. I'm in pairs. Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right. So they got a couple of gay fellows
jumping up and down in Many and you know that
it's set fits Minneapolis. Unless you're in the stadium and
you happen to have seats right where they are, you
don't even know they're there. The French mark rights. This evening,
I went to the community meeting in my liberal enclave.
Various city people were presenting something of a pathway toward
(34:51):
a master plan to justify their jobs and solicit resident feedback.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
He says, if climate change by POC LGA, BTQ plus minus,
et cetera, marginalized urban forest, ecological open space, preservation, housing,
climate hazzard heat way, vulnerable and unhoused, pollution, vehicle traffic,
electric vehicles, connected, and biodiverse.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Run your Bengo cards. Man, you cleaned house, eh boy?
Buzzword fest. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
On a lighter note, Marina from San Diego on the
topic of feeding your former pets.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
To zoo animals. Boy, it's just the math works out
to me.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Well, then this is this is kind of tangential. But guys,
don't judge me. But I have a pass to the
San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Wonderful place, wonderful to
visit it if you get a chance. And on more
than one occasion I've thought, man, there are a lot
of gazelle's here, like they're all over the place. Then
there are the poor lethargic lions and tigers. Don't they
deserve a little excitement. They're a little thrill for the
(35:51):
visitors too. I mean, not every day, but maybe once
a month trouble one of those gazelles in think Jurassic Park, barbaric.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Right, and it would happen. It's not. It's as natural
as could be.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It happened to a certain percentage of them in the wild. Yeah,
it's as natural as could be. And think how much
exciting that would be for the I was gonna say
it'd be exciting to watch. I don't know if i'd
want to watch. Actually, oh, I'd go to frigging gazelle
Day every month.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh see.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
My theory is, you got shelters full of stray cats
and dogs nobody wants. You got hungry animals at the zoo.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Now, if anybody didn't leave over the bone broth thing,
they're they're reaching for the dial right now. You euthanize
them first. But all right, we got to get into
the news of the day. We do four hours every
single day. For you miss a 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 and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Jetty and he arms wrong man who live
from the studio c see signor on summer Eve.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We are in a dimly lit room deeper from the
bowels the Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And Getty communications compounded.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Alexander Stubb.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Alexander Stubb could be a pivotal figure in history. He
has to a large extent, convinced Donald J. Trump that
Putin is a menace, a psychopath, and a liar. And
part of the reason he has Trump's ear. Alexander Stubb
the President of Finland. Really good golfer. Oh so Trump
(01:15):
was playing golf with this dude, honest to god cool.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So whatever it takes, you think that played a role
in Trump's a different view of Putin. It's practically guaranteed
they've become buds. And if you know anything about Finland's
history vis a vis the Soviet Union in Russia, the
Finns don't play when it comes to Russian aggression.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
They know all about it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, As we were talking last week on the anniversary
of dropping the bomb, the war in the Pacific really
started in thirty seven when Japan invaded China. The war
in Europe really started in thirty eight, is that what
it was? Thirty six whenever Russian invaded Finland. They went
to war at a very high level, right at the
(02:04):
time that the rest of the Europe was exploding, and
it was a bloody, bloody battle. But you're right, Finland
does not play no and incredibly tough, resilient and realistic people.
And this guy who he's really an interesting guy's like
a triathlon guy and an avid golfer, speaks five languages.
(02:26):
But he and Trump bonded and become buddies, and he's
been in Trump's here about Putin. Well good, you know
what I was thinking that I was thinking, I would
love to see Trump. So there's going to be a
news conference. That's breaking news. It looks like there's going
to be a news conference after the summit. Trump and
Putin's standing up there taking questions. Really, that's what all
(02:49):
the reporting is. Wow, I know the Western press, Yeah, yeah,
I know. My podcast I'm always talking about from Telegraph,
which is the best info on the war in Ukraine
that exists on planet Earth, if you're into it. I
listen every day to at least part of it, and
I've got some really good stuff. They passed along yesterday,
but they sent one of their reporters to be there.
(03:12):
So the White House has not confirmed a press conference.
The belief is Trump never turns down a press conference,
and Moscow has said yes to a press conference. And
I was just thinking, you know, the things did not
go well in twenty eighteen when Trump was standing up
next to Putin. I don't know why they would lie
about intelligence, which was a horrible move, a horrible thing
for him to say. He took the side of Putin
(03:34):
over the United States, and it just I hated the
whole thing. But I would love it if Trump stood
up there and treated Putin like he treated Rand Paul
in the debate stad like he treated Chris Christy. I
would love if he did that sort of thing. I
would love if he turned to him and said, look
this guy. I've been dealing with this guy for years now.
Every word out of him is a lie. If he
(03:54):
told me it was three o'clock, I'd check my watch,
he does nothing. I would love it if Trump because
we all know he's got that gear, right, treat him
like Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
We know he's got that Wow. How careful. Now you're
going to start World War three? Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I suppose that is one possibility of how it would go.
The other is much like the previous experience. But I'm
leaning more toward you know, the scenario you've painted. Oh,
that would be fantastic, That'd be great for the world.
Just end this charade. Look, he's nothing but lies. Everything's
a lie. We know what he's doing here. He's just
(04:30):
trying to drag this out. He kills civilians every single day.
He has no interest in peace. I would love for
somebody to stay that standing next to the guy right
right now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's the truth. This is exciting. I know you're ready
to do a Saturday show. I'm ready, I'm in. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think the stakes are very, very high. I assume
that national media is going for Eyeball's earballs and clicks
because the amount of time they're giving the cop situation
in DC versus the summon.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I was watching ABC News last night.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They got cops in DC they got like four different
disturbances on planes that are you know, one off, have
nothing to do with you, and a weather thing. And
then they get to like a one minute package around
Putin and Trump meeting.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
This is a big freaking deal, the.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
News coming pivot point in history, absolutely a massive point
in history. Now some guy yelled something on a plane
gets gets the lead, or yet another storm somewhere, Oh
my gosh, life threatening heat threatens the eastern part of
northern Kentucky. Will go to Ginger z or chief meteorologist.
What the hell if it's hot, wear a light shirt,
(05:42):
all right, take off your jacket. There you go, training outside,
go inside.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
If there is a press conference after that thing, whatever
I'm doing, I'm going to find a place to be
able to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That because that'll be freaking something. Yeah. Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So here's what I learned from the Telegraph podcast yesterday. Now,
there is always in a war a massive operation going
on on both sides for obvious reasons. I think I
get the feeling that the first casualty of war is
the truth. Thing is presented like I don't know what,
but of course it is. It's part of the job.
(06:21):
Of being at war is convincing your other enemy of
things that you know benefits you well and rallying your
own side. Yeah, it would be incredibly important. It'd be
malpractice if you didn't do that. But so the Telegraph
was reporting yesterday, the London Telegraph according to their sources.
Now this could be syops by Ukraine, but according to
(06:42):
their sources, it's it's closer to accurate than the Russian
version of that whole they broke through the line and
gobbled up a bunch of land is just not true.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's just not true.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
A few guys here and there on motorcycles went through
the line. The line where this occurred is very poorse
like the true are very far apart.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So you might have a mile where there's nobody.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So yeah, you could drive a dirt bike through there
and get way through there and claim you're there. But
Ukraine says the first group of there's three groups of
two to six men.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The first group they killed and they're hunting down the
second group. But the second or third group and they'll
kill them too. They didn't establish anything, but it's just
Russia trying to let the world know they're on the offensive.
They're gaining ground, so you know, we better come up
with something which is smart. Yeah, boy, this could go anywhere,
absolutely anywhere of the I don't know. You imagine five
(07:38):
different outcomes to this meeting, and in my mind, each
one is twenty percent likely, you know what I mean. Yeah,
just very very difficult to predict at all which direction
this might.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Go well, and Trump being such a wild card on
what he says.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You know, you just don't know what's going to happen
there either, right, man, They're going through a lot of
scenarios on Morning Joe, which I watch because I know
Trump watches it too. Of you know, Putin trying to
play Trump into a situation where they're both bad mouthing Zelensky.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Not impossible to see happen.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right, right, But getting back to our general manager, as
Putin and his fellow KGB indoctrinated mind game, you know,
expert advisors, we're trying to figure out how to manipulate Trump.
I'll bet they didn't game plan. But what if you
like totally bonds with one of our most implacable critics
(08:38):
over the game of golf, Right, you know, it's a
complicated beast that Donald j the most interesting thing I
heard about the whole Europe thing. So Zelensky was in London,
ten Downing Street meeting with care Stormer. They made a
big announcement most interesting thing I heard about, the whole
Europe part of this. We can do next, but after
we start officially, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on
(09:00):
this at his Thursday August fourteenth, the year twenty twenty
five or Armstrong and getting we approved of this program. Okay,
let's begin then officially. According to SCC rules and regulations,
the show starts at Mark.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Get this Trump is hosting Putin at a US military
base because it's peak tourist season in Alaska and the
options were limited.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
This meeting could end a war in Alaska's like, oh, sorry, but.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
The Marriott conference room is all tied up with a
rotary Clubs Salmon Retreat, Salmon Retreat, Rhode Island's Clubs Salmon Retreat.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Jimmy so.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
As Henry Kissinger famously said, if I want to talk
to Europe, who do I call? The problem with referring
to Europe like.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's one thing, is it's not.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's a whole bunch of different countries with different ideas,
and so there was a I forget who it was,
as some reporter or something. The quote is the best
part doesn't matter who came from observing Europe around this
whole Ukraine thing. So, uh, Trump. The Wall Street Journal
is reporting today, like right now, that Trump has agreed
(10:07):
to the red lines that Zelensky in Europe came up
with that include no land swap without him signing off
on it.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Trump has agreed to that, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That would be a big deal Lensky sign Yeah, that
would be a big deal if that is true. But
how much guarantee on anything of a ceasefires Europe willing
to do in terms of troops or you know, threatening
given weapons or whatever. And uh, this person who observes
Europe says, the problem with Europe is it's a miss
(10:39):
a misshmash of those who want but can't, can but
won't and can't but won't wow, which is pretty interesting. Yeah,
you got some countries that could help, but they ain't.
You got some countries that would love to but they
(11:00):
can't actually because they ain't got nothing. And then there's
the won't ame can't crowd, which would be you know,
probably a third of Europe, right, Yeah, And look the
idea of them banding the other informing the EU.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It was smart. It was a good idea.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
In some ways. They're still working it out. But if
you were to look at the last three hundred years
of history in Europe and somebody told you, all right,
you got to pick one word to describe the history
of Europe, that word would have to be war. I mean,
they've been killing the hell out of each other every
chance they get.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You could list a dozen.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Different conflicts just just to warm up various you know,
land battles and you name it.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Just constant warfare.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The reporter and independence movements that turned violent, blah blah blah.
Reporter I was listening to yesterday had been in Ukraine
and was talking about the absolutely amazing, brilliant, cutting edge
drone stuff they're doing in Ukraine and garages. You got
really smart handi dudes working out of garages, nearing the
front lines, near the front lines, coming up with new
(12:07):
stuff every day to try to adjust to what Russia
is doing. But they don't have enough money to do
what they want to do, so they run gofundmes and
they put gofundmes up hoping that people will donate enough
money so they can amazon various parts or do various
R and D everything.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Like that and how and his point was how ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It is that Europe hasn't stepped up and is funding
these things, so they're not using gofundmes to try to
figure out how to build their drones. They got the
same problem every socialist civilizations ends up with, They're out
of money. Unbelievable. We got Katie's headlines on the way
and a bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I have a comment on the Big Taylor Swift podcast.
She rarely does interviews and did a very very long
interview with her boyfriend and his brother yesterday two days ago. Also,
I learned a lot about the whole redistricting fight that
I can't believe Republicans haven't been able to get onto
talk shows when they're interviewed. They do a terrible job
(13:04):
of preparing for this stuff. Two parties, the Evil Party
and the Stupid Party, also coming up. As Katie Green
herself prepares to read us headlines, one of the most egregious,
dishonest headlines in the history of looking at egregiously dishonest headlines,
and it came out in the last week or so,
got a tremendous amount of attention. I'll unmask it for
(13:28):
you in a bit. Right now, let's figure out who's
supporting what it's leak story with Katy Green.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Katy already starting with ABC News. Putin says Trump is
making quote energetic.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Efforts to end the war as the summit nears. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We were just in the lunch room and Michael is saying,
I said, Trump needs to treat Putin like he treated
Chris Christie Orran Paul on the debate stage. Need to
treat him like he treated Zelensky in the Oval office.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's what I like to see. Bring jd Vance. Huh.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They have a wingman say to Trump there, say to
poot into his face. You're losing a thousand guys every
two days or whatever the number is, you butcher.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Speaking of crap headlines from NBC, Ice sent three US
citizen children, including one with cancer, back to Honduras with
their deported mothers.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Okay, so you're satan for dividing families and your satan
for keeping them together. Okay, super thanks NBC for your input.
How are your ratings.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
From CNN Newsom says California to redraw congressional maps to
quote end Trump presidency.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Okay, I got a bunch of interesting information and redistricting
that I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I should know it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I should have heard it from Republicans out there when
they're being interviewed about this, but they don't do their
research for some reason.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
From the New York Times, fed faces high bar for
big cuts despite White House pressure.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, that's all interest rate. That's interest rate. Yeah, that's okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
From the New York Post, Toronto Film Festival outrageously cuts
October seventh documentary because Hamas didn't give footage permission.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
This story is incredible. We'll get into it later.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
From The Independent, Musk's Grock calls Trump the most notorious
criminal in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
When asked about violent crime in the city.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Ah, well, it's a whatever, open model language learning thingy.
And that's been a talking point of the left. That's
what Joaquin Jeffries, the leader of the Democrats in the House,
said the other day. Yeah, there's criminals in Washington, d C.
It's at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Ball Singer.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A million votes just changed because you're cleverness hockey.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
But that's probably where gro got it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
From page six, Jesse Smollett claim Chicago police and ron
Emmanual are villains. Why while denying the hate crime hoax,
he is still going with this.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Not going to you are a cuckoo bird.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Way to double down, bro, Yeah, you get more support
every day from what I've heard.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
USA today.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Man charged with assaulting federal agent in d C with
a sandwich went up to the ice officers and said
I don't want you here and hurled.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
A sub And now he's caught a fellon e chair.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
She threw something somebody. Ye, well right, and it's a
waste of a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
From Fox News, Chicken linked to slightly more gut disruption
than beef, according.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
To a new study. I'm glad to hear that. What
his gut disruption?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm a beef guy. You know what gut disruption is it?
You know what you've heard the guy in there groaning?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It is Oh good?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Wow, all right Babylon b quote crime is down in DC,
shouts journalists currently being pummeled by group of thubs.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Wow, yeah, no kidding, What a story that is there's
actually a class action lawsuit going on against the DC
city fathers and mothers for systematically misreporting crime.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Interesting, Yeah, we got more on that too. We got
a lot of stuff to catch up on.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I hope you can stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war
after your meeting on Friday.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yes they will, Yeah, what will.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
The haunts day will be conservations, tariffs, There will be I.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Don't have to say they will be very severe consequences.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I got a lot of attention. He wasn't specific, but
we're gonna get into that more in hour two.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So I can't remember were you gonna go first on
the Hamas staff or was I okay, all right, great?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
So this is just.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I can't believe I still have the has to be
to be surprised by the dishonesty of the mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's my childlike nature.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But last month you saw, and it was actually just
a couple of weeks ago, really big headlines in Reuters, CNN, ABC, NPR,
et cetera that the USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance quote
(18:28):
found no evidence of systemic theft by the Palestinian militant
group HAMAS UABC. Specifically, USAID reported failed to find any
evidence that HAMAS engaged in widespread diversions of assistance.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Okay, here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
So USAID, one of the offices that still is funded,
does internal analysis tracking reports of waste, fraud, and abuse
of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
According to that report, over the covered.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Period, which was eighteen months, they received one hundred and
fifty six notifications of fraud, waste and abuse from their
NGO non governmental organization partners in Gaza, amounting to a
loss of about five million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The key finding was for.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
All one hundred and fifty six incidents, partners did not
provide any information in their incident reports alleging sanctioned group
or foreign terrorist organization involvement. Again, the key finding was
our NGO partners did not say anything about foreign terrorist
(19:42):
organization involvement. But when the analysis was leaked to legacy
news organizations, they reported something completely different that there was
no evidence. They failed to find any evidence. There is
a world of difference. These are very different things. Oh
my god, between notifications of made misuse and actual misuse
(20:05):
and quoting Jonas do.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Here in an article.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Two sources familiar with USAID and its analysis confirmed that
they're the partner's failure to report terrorist involvement does absolutely
not mean there is no evidence of theft by Hamas.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The report appears to be wholly reliant on self reporting
by UN agencies and NGOs who are extremely reticent to
report Hamas interference out of fear of violent retribution by Hamas,
said a senior.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Official familiar with the USA report.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I was assuming it was because they're ideologically on the
side of the Palestinians and Hamas and hate Israel. But
you're saying they're physically afraid. Wow, oh yeah, yeah. These
are the NGOs that are on the ground. They do
not dare call out Hamas for theft. So that's once
no matter that. The next story I'm going to do
is another example of that's once more of radical Islam
(21:00):
winning because Pete, because they threatened to hurt or kill.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You, right. A couple more items.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
When the Reuters study or a story was published, quote,
nobody at the highest levels of the USAID administration had
yet seen the report, said a senior official at the
State Department. It was deliberately and intentionally manufactured and distributed
to plant a deliberate false narrative. Worse yet, Hamas used
Reuter's framing to fuel accusations of starvation and genocide against
(21:27):
the US and Israel. Allegations of theft quote were reluctantly
recently refuted by an internal investigation by the USAID Agency,
which confirmed the absence of any reports or data indicating
the theft of aid by Hamas. Said a Hamas guy,
and that was dutifully reported by the mainstream media. If Hamas,
(21:47):
if there is evidence that Hamas was not stealing food,
it would be a very big story because that would
be incredibly out of character of their decades long reign.
Oh yeah, as a you know, a bunch of thugs
who steal stuff. It would be a seriously important headline
to say, Hummas no longer stealing aid. Yeah, as you said,
(22:09):
that would interrupt decades of And one more, very quick note.
We can get into this later maybe, but the UN
agency that actually declares we are in famine conditions or
we have a proto famine, or we have a famine
quietly changed their standards in.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
The last couple of months. Okay, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Well, as Jonah Goldberg wrote the other day in the
La Times, famine is a plural word. To have a famine,
you need lots of people starving. Why does the media
seem to be struggling so much to come up with
more than that one kid to put on their front
page if there are so many people starving? Real quickly
they used to the standard was you had to find
(22:52):
thirty percent of children in an area suffering from acute
malnutrition is shown by comparing their weight to their height.
Thirty percent comparing weight to height. The agency's July report
used another metric, mid upper arm circumference, a measure that
can be done much more quickly and is considered less precise.
It also lowered the thirty percent threshold down to fifteen percent,
(23:17):
cut it in half, and changed what they measure. That's
a pretty big shift in standards. One veteran eight insider
told the Washington Free Beacon, suggesting the IPC that's year
Integrated Food Security Phase classification blah blah blah quote is
lowering the bar or trying to make it easier for
the famine determination to be made.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The IPC report revealed.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That shift through a small statement attached to an asterisk
under a graphic titled when is famine classified?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I was a very skinny kid.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
If you would have measured my arm's circumference in seventh grade,
I'm sure I would have met the famine definition. I
had guns like Hulcoka and God Rest his soul. And
then this story, here's another one of Islam winning the day.
And I had to get to the very end of
the story to understand why Toronto Film Festival it's second
only to the con Film Festival in terms of film
(24:09):
festivals that are a big deal for your Hollywood elite,
and they all fly there and they go there and
they watch.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The films that they talk about them on blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
A new documentary about the October seventh attack on Israel
by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film
Festival because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from
the terrorist group to use their footage in the massacre,
the footage that those Hamas guys got with the gop
pros on top of their heads as they raped grandma's
(24:36):
and shop babies and all that sort of stuff. The
Toronto Film festival said, well, you don't have the rights
from them to use this, so we're not going to
allow your film. And I thought, again, it was just
outrageous there on the side of hamas they hate Israel.
At the end of the article they quote somebody the
New York Post said they learned that the film one
(24:57):
had insurance to protect its creators and festival from potential lawsuits.
On the actual legal part of it, I mean, who
is going to prosecute that case anyway?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Almas and sources told.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
The Post that the festival pulled the doc out of
concern that potential anti Israel protests would form in downtown
Toronto and could turn violent.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I was gonna say that rights things sounds like an
excuse to me, and that's absolutely true. Yeah, the angry
Muslims will tear the place apart, so can't show it.
So once again, just keep retreating Western civilization. Keep retreating.
It'll be fine. And I always use the same example.
The dudes that made South Park could make a musical
mocking Mormons. That was one of the biggest hit musicals
(25:42):
in America. Because the Mormons aren't going to kill you,
go ahead, make a movie mocking Islam anyone and run
it somewhere. But no you won't because they get not
just the Heckler's veto, but the murderous lunatics veto right,
you know, which brings us to one more point that
I'll flesh out later.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
God, this, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
We were not going to allow people to see this
movie about October seventh because you don't have the rights
from Hummas for this footage. Yeah that's yeah, of of
you know, entire families being machine guns. Yeah yeah, great piece.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I'll tell you about it in a minute afterward from
our friends at Trust and Will. Look, if you've accumulated

So this university, a Tennessee professor wrote this piece, and
it's funny. It's a great minds think alike, or at
least my mediocre mind thinks like his.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
The question of what do you want to call it? Ideological?
Dam breaking, postponed confidence.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
He's writing about Great Britain and how there has been
overwhelming agreement on the immigration crisis there, but people haven't
known it. They've been thinking and folks, this may sound
fairly familiar to you, particularly if you live in Blue
states where you had become a browbeaten into thinking. I
(28:16):
guess everybody's into this DEI stuff and the critical theory
and queer theory and men can become women. I think
it's insane, but I'm looking around and nobody's disagreeing, So
I guess I'm in the minority. Right. You joined the
pronouns on your emails just because you think you're supposed to,
not because you believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Right and to avoid trouble.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, this guy's writing about how in Britain the powers
that be have been a straining mightily to keep people
from being able to express their opinions. But now that
it's happening, people are looking around and saying, no, I'm
not in a small minority of quote unquote bigots. Everybody agrees,
they just haven't let us say it out loud. And
(28:57):
it's a bit of a damn burst. So more on
that to come. Wow, that's pretty interesting. Yeah, yeah, And
we talked about that in another context. I think it
was the DEI thing, assumed acquiescence, assumed agreement. Where you're
sitting there in the humiliating racist Robin DiAngelo retraining to
(29:19):
convince you that white people are the source of all evil.
Blah blah blah, the whole dee I thing. And you're
looking around and you see one guy who looks like
he wants.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To say something, but everybody else is being quiet, so
I guess they agree. No, no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It's the people who just can't bring themselves to standing
up and say, don't assume you know what, have more confidence.
That's what I would say. If you listen to something
and think this is looney tunes, trust yourself. You're probably right.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So we got mail bag on the way.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
We'll jump back into the whole Putin Trump summit, which
I think is a huge deal that's happening tomorrow and
Alaska and a bunch of other news.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Hope you can stay here.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I just saw the video footage. You've probably heard the story.
It's getting way too much tension. Drunk nut job on
a plane swinging a skateboard around, screaming racial slurs. They
restrain him twice on the flight, he gets out twice.
Then finally this great, big, giant dude I just watched
the video of it comes over picks him up under
the arms like he's eight years old, carries him to
(30:23):
the back, sits him down.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Say sit out. Wow, I mean this dude was huge. Yeah,
that was great.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Quantity is its own quality, as they say about warfare.
Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, sent along
by Paolo. Guys, you must have seen mention this Thomas
Sowell quote, but just in case, it's one of the
all time greats quote. Envy was once considered one of
the deadly sins before it became one of the most
admired virtues under its new name social Justice.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
oOoOO, that's Tomas Sowell for the win.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Mailbag jumps, you know, mailbag at armstrung you get a
dot com great crappy emails today, Gotta start.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
With this one, though.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I'm afraid, guys, I'm excited about this transition. It's a
lot less stressful. I've been listening to your show since
you arrived many years ago. I wish I had a
dollar for every time I recommended you to people, but
I can only half listen. Now. Jack has been driving
me crazy over the last couple of years, but his
rant about bone broth was the straw that broke the
(31:27):
Gamble's back, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
That was all time stupid. I didn't know where this
was going, but I didn't expect that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, well, we just keep kicking. Our beloved listeners are friends,
our supporters. Was the one that did bone broth.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Y is mine?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Well, my thing is, it's just these things, bone broth, kale,
pink salt, whatever, they become trendy and then y'all jump
on it. And I don't know, Karen, bone broth is
fine and nutritious liquid food, and I support you're eating it,
and God bless you and all your efforts dietaryan Otherwise,
don't your little booboo and bone broth and just don't
(32:07):
life no.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No idiot probably lost as another listener.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
JT from Livermore bringing it so Chuck Todd talking about
a cold civil war as usual, the toster is a
metaphorical daylight and a dollar short. We're already in a
cold civil war, and like the original, there's a good
side and a bad side. The good side is the
side that believes in the good of the country and
inequality and freedom as in a side. Perhaps those words
(32:34):
sound familiar to you. Founding documents, Federals paper anybody, the
rule of law, and the right to self determination. The
bad side hates the country, loves any group that hates
this country, and is willing to do or say anything
to keep their power in order to continue their attempt
to attempt to fundamentally transform the country away from the
self determining, freedom seeking entity was created to be. It
(32:57):
is the Dems that support illegal immigration, open borders, porn
in school, experimental surgery on children, late term abortion and fantaside,
open air drug markets, anti free speech, anti constitution. It's
the Dems pushing to pack the court, resist pallid integrity,
spread lies like Russia Gate and Hunter's Laptop. It's the
Dems who support terrorists like Hamas and Iran, and admire
dictatorial regimes like China, and put the country's national security
(33:21):
at risk by hiding the sanility.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Of Biden for years.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, moving along on a similar but very different note,
Drew the millennial guys been seeing a lot of rabble
on the right over the gay Minnesota Vikings cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Guy, I'd missed this somehow. I don't know this story either.
Apparently they've got a gay fella as a cheerleader now, shocking,
Drew Wrights. I am sorry.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I didn't realize so many grown men on the right
cared so passionately about NFL cheerleading. I usually just watch
for the football part, but I guess a lot of
guys are really upset over the cheerleading. What's next a
lesbian on the Bachelor? This is unacceptable. I never understood
this tendency with people. Something exists your whole life, and
you could not have cared less about it because it's
dumb and pointless in this case. But if it changes somehow,
(34:10):
now I care. Just continue not caring. There's freedom in
not caring. Yeah, my son will tell you that Katie
has some details on the male gay cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Uh, there's not one, but two. Good lord gay male careleaders.
Good Lord in pairs. I'm in pairs. Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right. So they got a couple of gay fellows
jumping up and down in Many and you know that
it's set fits Minneapolis. Unless you're in the stadium and
you happen to have seats right where they are, you
don't even know they're there. The French mark rights. This evening,
I went to the community meeting in my liberal enclave.
Various city people were presenting something of a pathway toward
(34:51):
a master plan to justify their jobs and solicit resident feedback.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
He says, if climate change by POC LGA, BTQ plus minus,
et cetera, marginalized urban forest, ecological open space, preservation, housing,
climate hazzard heat way, vulnerable and unhoused, pollution, vehicle traffic,
electric vehicles, connected, and biodiverse.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Run your Bengo cards. Man, you cleaned house, eh boy?
Buzzword fest. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
On a lighter note, Marina from San Diego on the
topic of feeding your former pets.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
To zoo animals. Boy, it's just the math works out
to me.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Well, then this is this is kind of tangential. But guys,
don't judge me. But I have a pass to the
San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Wonderful place, wonderful to
visit it if you get a chance. And on more
than one occasion I've thought, man, there are a lot
of gazelle's here, like they're all over the place. Then
there are the poor lethargic lions and tigers. Don't they
deserve a little excitement. They're a little thrill for the
(35:51):
visitors too. I mean, not every day, but maybe once
a month trouble one of those gazelles in think Jurassic Park, barbaric.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Right, and it would happen. It's not. It's as natural
as could be.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It happened to a certain percentage of them in the wild. Yeah,
it's as natural as could be. And think how much
exciting that would be for the I was gonna say
it'd be exciting to watch. I don't know if i'd
want to watch. Actually, oh, I'd go to frigging gazelle
Day every month.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh see.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
My theory is, you got shelters full of stray cats
and dogs nobody wants. You got hungry animals at the zoo.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Now, if anybody didn't leave over the bone broth thing,
they're they're reaching for the dial right now. You euthanize
them first. But all right, we got to get into
the news of the day. We do four hours every
