Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Democrats are going to push back aggressively to make sure
that we have fair maps across the country, not partisan
jerry mandering which Republicans have initiated in state after state
after state.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Wow, I know, I know, the great race to the
bottom of jerry mandering, with each side saying this makes
us sad, But we're only doing it because we have
to because the evildoers on the other side have done
it first.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
How are grown ups not in charge of all of this?
Are patriots not in charge? Patriots who like, I'm a Democrat,
you're a Republican, But we're both patriots and we both
know that Illinois is jerrymandered to death, and Massachusetts's jerry
mander to death, and now Texas is trying to do it.
How about we do away with jerry mandering the best
we can in all states.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. Yeah, it's tough, man self.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Governance is tough in the modern age because, like California
is a great example, came up with a really solid looking,
nonpartisan independent districting commission featuring lots of citizens, and but
the Democrats, because it's one party state, gained it immediately
and got control of it by lying about who was
(01:35):
who and the rest of them.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Which is why while Republicans represent about forty percent of
the votes in California, they only have about eighteen percent
of the representation in Congress. So it's already not fair.
This new may argue that this new map, and that's
about in line with tech what Texas is now. By
(01:57):
the way, so Texas caught up to California in terms
of them disenfranchising Democrats in the way that they had
done Republicans California even but now Republican Now California's going
to take it another step and get it down around
five percent. So you have forty percent of the votes
in California, Republicans will have five percent of the representation
after next Tuesday, when our moronic electorate goes to the
(02:21):
polls and votes for this stupid prop correct.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, my home state of Illinois.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's brutally hilariously Jerry manderd it's funny.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
HACKEM. Jeffreys doesn't mention that, but he must have forgotten.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
How do you have flipping do that with a straight face.
Where are the patriots? That's the right word. We need
to stop saying Republicans and Democrats and look for patriots.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah boy, I love that. Love that.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Somebody put that on the internet, or tattoo it on
your chest, or jot it down to something. Put it
next to our arms strong with this statement of the day.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Put it next to my big Nazi tattoo I've had
on my chest ever since that one night in Bangkok.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Come on now, Oh, we're all young ones.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So here's retch rich Edson on Fox News talking about
this whole thing.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
The congressional redistricting wave has arrived in Indiana. Governor Mike
Brawn's announcing he is quote calling a special legislative session
to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek
to diminish their voice in Washington. Following a push from
the White House, Indiana is among about a dozen states
considering new congressional districts.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The Democrats have done it long before we started.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
They've done it all over the place.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Last week, Virginia Democrats announced plans to redraw their commonwealth's
congressional districts to add as many as three more Democrats
to the House of Representatives, an issue now in the
governor's race.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
What we are seeing today is the worst kind of
political backtracking, an attempt to grab power by erasing the
voter's voice.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
How far are we going to self righteous statements wear
me out?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
How far are we going to take it? So Texas
will get to the point where it's all the House
members are Republicans and Democrats in California will be one
of the House members, and every state will just be
if you have the majority, you don't allow any of
the other party to have a representative. I guess that's
where we're going with our Jerry Mendry.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, I just I don't know where this ends. You
ever been to Indiana, Michael, No, never. You're a native Californian, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Indiana Dunes got sunburned several times there. In fact is
my dermatologist cuts various things out of me. I can
probably attribute several of them to the Indiana Dunes. Southern
Indiana is beautiful, it's absolutely gorgeous, and larry birds from Indiana.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So ends my welcome to India I.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Went to a course game once in Indianapolis, coach, and
it's the only indoor NFL game I've ever been to.
Been too pretty appealing, sitting there in your T shirt,
perfect temperature. Oh yeah that's pretty.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Not yeah nice.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Anyway that we want to hear from Arnold on this,
we do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Jake Tapper was talking to Arnold.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I just love Indiana.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Arnold Schutzenegger, who was reverting back to and I remember
how attractive he was as a candidate, a Republican and
a conservative in a lot of ways, but a reasonable
guy who was willing to compromise and talk to other people.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
And he's got the big neck and the ten and
the movie started and all that sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, and the maid don't forget the mate.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But then he overreached and the Unions beat the crap
out of him, and he gave up and just became
an annoyance.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
But anyway, here he is with Jake Tapper.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
As you acknowledged, this all started because of redistricting in Texas,
and this was Trump pushing Republican controlled states to throw
out their current congressional maps so as to cook the
book so that there is less it is less likely
for Democrats to retake control of the House during the
next year mid terms. I mean, is it fair to
(06:04):
argue that if you believe that the Republican Party is starting.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
This, No, Jake, there has been cherrymandering going on for
two hundred years. There is such such extreme cherry mandering
going on. They're in a state like Massachusetts, it has
like forty of the puper voting for Trump. They only
had they have seer representative. The Republican Party has Serra representatives.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sent to the House.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Think about that. In New Mexico have forty five percent
of the puper voted for Trump and voted Republican and
zerril is sent to the House zero representative from the
Republican Party. So there's cherrymandering, crazy cherrymandering going on all
over the country.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Jake Hillbridge Gary signed the effing Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's named after him. Jacob Blanken, Ignoramus. Hey, Jake Tapper,
you just lost a debate to an Austrian body building
or congratulations, so.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You tell me this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Jake Tapper actually not know that.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, the Republicans started this, didn't they? Are you serious?
You can't be serious. I mean, that was ten minutes
researching jerry mandering. You wouldn't make that statement.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, and Jake, he didn't even phrase it as Democrats
are saying.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Republic No, he just stated it. Everybody knows the Republican.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You know, he's lucky, Michael that Arnold didn't lose his
temper right because we know how how angry he gets.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And you know, but I hope you live en up
room for my fist because I'm going to ram it
into your stomach. And I don't know what in the interview. Yeah,
I don't know how you would respond to that. You're
gonna Arnold wasn't done.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I think this whole thing about finger pointing and said
they did it, it's aid defhobition doing it. That's not
really the way to go. Did one party should outperform
the other party? It should be performance. And when he
comes to mitchrom elections, as you know, always the party
is not in the White House usually wins, but twenty
twenty five thirty seeds. So what does five seats matter
(08:06):
in the first place? In Texas? It is crazy should
outperformed them? That is what where the action is.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Jake I'm sorry, Arnold. Right, everything he's saying is right.
I'm not sure why he called in from a mall
food court though it was noisy wherever he man.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
All I know is I hope you leave enough room
for my fist because I'm going to ram it into
your stomach.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yes, yes, what movie is that?
Speaker 10 (08:33):
You like that?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
What movie is that from?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Was it Kindergarten Cop?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I don't think so, do you know, Kady?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You know, I don't how many Arnold Swartzinger movies have
I actually seen?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Very very few.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, he thinks he's not a good actor.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I think I had a girlfriend who made me watch
The Terminator once because that's not really my bag. Oh yeah,
that one lass. You know, he portrayed a robot so
perfect for that role. I think she might have been
a lisbian.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Lesbian?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I think my girlfriend was a lisbian. Yet you back
to you, kiddy. This is from the film Running Man.
Oh okay, that's right. It's from Running Man, which I
have not seen. I unfortunately saw Conan the Barbarian at
a drive in theater and it was already so darkly filmed.
At the drive in where it's not as b it
was just it was like a black screen with a
guy you can't understand. So it was not that enjoyable
(09:26):
a cinema experience.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, what makes you think your girlfriend was a lesbian?
You're burying the lead?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Oh, I know this sounds like the sort of thing
a certain kind of guy would say. But the relationship
got hung up, and she, who knows, no longer interested
in me. And I know that's the dumb guy things.
She must be a lesbian if she doesn't like me.
But she It was very odd, and I had heard
(09:53):
stories that she had been with other women's. She was
an athlete, so I don't judge it. Just it made it.
I wish I would have known it. It had made more
sense why things weren't working out, because otherwise it seemed
like everything was.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Great, right, great friends and yeah, yeah, yeah, So why
is this not okay? Because you're anyway? She made me
watch Yeah, well, what straight girl makes you watch The Terminator?
It's a lesbian sort of flick, isn't it. What stop whining?
I asked my gay friends.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Just come up?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 11 (10:28):
Katie?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
That's not a typical sort of movie that a girl
wants to watch?
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I mean, I enjoy it, and I'm not a lesbian.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
What the hell had a strong Oh it did have
a super strong buff female character in it that.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
She probably was hot for my lesbian girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, yeah, just till she met a nice down huh.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
All right, so you can always depend on Gavy Newsome
to interject hyperbole and stupidity into the conversation. Our final
clip on this topic.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Quite literally, I'm making the case that's why I have
this initiative problem fifty. There may not be a twenty
twenty eight election that's free and fair. So my focus
is central to getting over the hump in November fourth
of this year and then working on twenty twenty six
in the midterm re elections. But look, when people, particularly
people that have run before, et cetera, everybody knows the politician.
(11:21):
The response to kabuki, Well, I'm just focusing on my
day job and we'll see where things go. So I
try to be a little more honest about it, and
people ran with it.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, you're trying to be honest about it by claiming
there might not be a twenty twenty eight presidential election.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
God, he's so full of crab.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
That's your honesty.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
He might gather and solidify the half wit vote, which
can get you pretty far in the Democratic primary.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
But anybody with two brain cells to rub together is
going to reject him out of hand.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
She didn't wear Doc Martin's. She didn't listen to Melissa Etherage. Sure, maybe,
I don't know if I can come up with any other.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
We intersected, right, I remember her? Yeah, yeah, she she
had a uh an aspect to her that rings true
to your diagnosis. I remember when you first floated that idea, Suvie.
I was not shocked. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
The hell yeah, yeah, Oh, do you have any theory
on that? Michael?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, fair enough, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Is there any chance the baseball players are going to
come out on the field and just weep tonight? I
wonder if they're going to walk out there and just
one of them finally goes down on their knees and
just puts her head in their hands, starts crying, we
have to play again. I barely slept.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Or they're going to send some you know, the the
last guy generally off the bench is going to be
seen in the shadows, pulling fire her alarms and evacuating
the stadium.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Fan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know if I can take first pitch to
and I loved last night's game.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Go in there and tweak the sprinkler so they run
too long in the fields, too muddy something anything.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
If they're in the outfield, they'll just let the ball
go by and just like point to the other person.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
You get it.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I can't move. I'm tired, right, Okay, we up more
in the way, stay here.
Speaker 10 (13:21):
New survey found that most adults believe Halloween is just
as much for grown ups as it is for children. Yeah,
you know you're too old for Halloween when you trick
a treat out a home, then look it up on Zilla.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That's kind of funny. The Senate just voted for the
thirteenth time on opening the government back up, and it
failed again, so we will remain closed for at least
another twenty four hours. We are now at twenty eight
days on the government shut down. The record is thirty four,
so I have a feeling we might get there.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, although the head of the federal employees union came
out yesterday and said end it now. Democrats clean Continuing
Resolution fund it now, so we'll have to see what
earthquakes that causes. So a couple of comments on the
last segment, one from a friend of the Armstrong Getty Show,
Alnonymous was quite plugged in, who said, on the topic
(14:13):
of redistricting in the Evil Prop fifty in California, I
heard that some GOP consultants believe that Gavin's proposition is
triggering Republicans in other states like Indiana to do way
more redistricting than they were planning to, potentially leading to
a very large GOP gain, thus backfiring on Newsom. The
(14:34):
theory is that this might explain why there's less spending
on the No On fifty team than was expected, because
some establishment GOP guys secretly wanted to pass, so it
triggers more backlash, which I could imagine happening because California
is almost jerrymandered to death.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I mean, there's just not much headroom there.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I'm pretty interesting. Yeah, there really is. Yeah, six to
eight dimensional chess there coming up later this hour. Why show,
Hey Otani messes with his hair so much?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Have an explanation.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Wow, Wow, that's a fairly gay tease.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And speaking of your girlfriend, the probable lesbian So one
of my favorite writers period who happens to be lesbian
Nelly Bowles wrote the following for The Free Press.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Wow, it really was a.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Social contagion, and she talks about the same pole we
were talking about a week ago or whatever it was,
that the number of young people in America who identify
as transgender has been cut in half in two years. Okay,
it was always a social contagion.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's really something.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Uh da da dad.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
This is good for a lot of reasons, she writes,
but in particular it's good for trans people.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why because there have always been a small.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Number of people who feel truly dysphoric in their sex.
And the last thing you want is a horde of
depressed teen girls latching onto your situation as a way
to rage against their bodies, a stand in for anarex
or cutting. I've never been more worried about my rights
as a gay person than when all the angry youths
started announcing they were gay or trans are queer, Because
then I just knew backlash was coming. Anything funky they did,
(16:11):
they called it gay, They wore a weird jacket and
got creative with their haircuts, and all of a sudden,
they're claiming my identity. I say, scram kids, get out
of here. I'm putting up a border around gay territory
and saying no more may enter. Uh it's me, it's
everyone in Provincetown, and it's my Dyke's in the Midwest.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And that's it. We're full up. Go see the Mormons.
See if the Mormons are taking applications.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I'm gonna start using the word scram more often. I
had forgotten about it. I do like that I'd forgotten
about cutting, which was the thing for a while, which
is obviously a contagion.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Also, yeah, yeah, adolescents.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And and the fact that the medical establishment in the
US did and is still saying, oh no no. If
a confused teenager says I feel like a boy, you've
got to give her hormones and delay puberty and remove
her healthy breasts. That's the only way, to my God,
these people ought to be jailed. The jails ought to
be brimming with the progressives in the American medical establishment.
(17:06):
I would be happy to be the judge of those
kangaroo courts when they're up and running.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Got a lot more to jam in the last half hour.
If you miss a get the podcast Armstrong in Getty
on the.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Men Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 12 (17:19):
So this is a massive overhaul of ICE leadership. I'm
told by four senior DHS officials that they're moving up
to twelve ICE chiefs from around the country from their
positions and reassigning them. I'm told this is a move
spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and it's all in an effort
to boost deportation numbers, which are already at more than
half a million since President Trump took off.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So here's what we're talking about.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
Some of the ICE leadership positions being removed are the
heads of ICE here in Los Angeles, in San Diego, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Seattle,
El Paso, New Orleans, and Denver, just to name some
of them.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
That's interesting. So they're going to replace a bunch of
the ICE people in charge hands let replacements by the
Border Patrol Commander Bavino. But why is the big thing?
Which Bill Millusion of Fox explains more here.
Speaker 12 (18:08):
Now, replacing ICE leadership with Border patrol officials signals the
Trump administration wants deportation efforts to get much more aggressive,
with one Border Patrol source telling Fox quote, what did
everyone think mass deportations meant only the worst? Tom Homan
has said it himself. Anyone in the US illegally is
on the table.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
That's it. When I first saw this headline, I thought, Okay,
feels like they've gone a little too far, going to
back off. Nope, the other way around. They feel like
they aren't being aggressive enough. They need people. They're going
to be more aggressive than booting out every single person
that's here illegally.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I think they need to get started right after my
remodel is done.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Only in support of this.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
The minute all the work is done, because there are
apparently roughly two percent of the construction workers in America
who speak English, which is odd.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Give and how those are pretty good jobs? Well yeah,
but if you keep letting people come in from somewhere else,
the wages can keep going down, down, down, correct.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Which is why famously says our Chevez was staunchly against
illegal immigration.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And Bernie Bernie's against illegal immigration for the class.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I don't understand this. Maybe it'd be worth listening to
on how it fits in with the Build Back Better Plan.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
One O three.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
Michael, senior Trump administration official, did confirm these personnel moves
to Fox, adding that there was a big, widespread review
of Ice leadership after the one big beautiful bill passed,
and I'm told these changes were made based off who
the administration feels can execute a mass deportation agenda with
all of that added money and staffing coming from that bill.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Boy, all right, it's just who's who's down with the
plan and who's not. I'll bet they got plenty of
rumbles from those almost entire progressive cities that who ever
been in that gig for a while was really more
down with the local vibe, sure, than enthusiastic about carrying
out the administration's plans. I can believe that.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Well, we'll see how this plays out in practice and
also politically. Somebody, but about six weeks somebody texted as
to why Shoheo Tani messes with his hair so much?
Speaker 8 (20:22):
So.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
This is the big Japanese star of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
who may be the best baseball pair who ever.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Lived, and maybe the largest man ever to emerge from
the island of Japan.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
He's a very big human being.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Like I said earlier, I think it's similar to Godzilla
and Mathra. I think he came in contact with some
sort of nuclear thing probably, and that's why he's the
most likely explanation. Yeah, how he can be the best
hitter in the best pitcher in the World Series. I mean,
that doesn't mediation. It doesn't make any sense. Last night
he got on base nine times, and now I was
(20:56):
an eighteen inning game, but he set the record during
the nine innings for most extra base hits. Anyway, and
he's pitching tonight. So he's a really good looking guy.
He looks like a male model. And he gets done
hitting his home runs or doubles or striking people out
or whatever he's doing that particular day, and then he's
there with his hat off, and he's constantly messing with
(21:18):
his hair, like running his fingers, throwing it, fluffing it
back up, getting the getting the look just right. I
don't know if this is true or not. You tell
me the problem with Thoughtani's hair is a batting helmet.
American helmets don't fit Asian heads, right. He's trying to
get his helmet to sit right and stay in The
Giants Jung Ho Lee has a hell of a time.
His helmet flies off during swings a couple of times
(21:41):
a game. The Umps used to get in on his
case until they learned that a Korean head doesn't fit
a long American helmet. Do you know anything about.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That sounds ridiculous to me?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
That's don't all the uh don't major league players all
have custom fit helmets? Io that a guy like little
leagues that are not all sharing three helmets. I would
assume that a guy who who got a seven hundred
million dollar contract as the highest paid athlete on planet
Earth gets a helmet that fits his head.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I would assume, Yeah, I don't know. That sounds like
a crock of crap.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Ah boy, I'll tell you what the most I wish
that game last night had gone one more inning because
something really exciting was gonna happen. One the Toronto Blue
Jays were going to bring in their starter today starter
it looked like and Yamamoto, the pitcher who pitched a
complete game Saturday night for the Dodgers, said hey, coach,
(22:41):
put me in. As they ran they'd run completely out
of pitchers. They were gonna have to put him like
a catcher or something to pitch. And he said, I'm in,
and he went and warmed up. He was. He was
in the bullpen. Warming up is a guy who pitched
a full game forty eight hours earlier, which is amazing
by modern standards.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, I know, it's the World Series. This wouldn't happen.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
But I've always loved it when a team runs out
of pitchers and they got you know, like the their
center fielder's got a really live arm and he pitched
in college. So he comes in and you know, he's
throwing eighty four mile per hour fastballs and occasionally throws
a curve in.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
But because it's so different, the guys can't hit him.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Well, that's what the Dodgers were planning to do because
the manager wasn't going to call up Yamamoto. But it
was really high drama at the end of the game.
It happened in the middle of the night. But the
announcer said, the interpreter's talking to manager Roberts, is it
about Otani? Show Hey Otani? And they thought, wow, it's
got to be something. No, it turned out it was Yamamoto.
The guy had pitched the last game, said who said
(23:38):
put me in? Yeah, no, I'll pitch. He wouldn't to
let some right fielder go in who hasn't pitched since
high school.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You know why Yamamoto is so durable radiation exactly. The
Japanese players have been rated similar to the way Mathra was.
You know, take a look at the timeline. It's the
Fukushima plant.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
You're right, Tsami, the I'm connecting the dots clearly two
miles down the road from Japan's big baseball academy made up.
But that's the how Conspiracyani's hometown is wherever Fukushima is.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, he got radiated.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
That explains everything. Yes, Michael, you figured it out, weed out,
and we called that guy hair brain for the whole
helmets don't fit Asian heads story?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Do you have?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And then I'll shut up about this because I watched
every pitch of the game last night and found it
absolutely fascinating. You gotta like baseball because I mean, it
was a pitchers the second game. There were two games played,
really those two nine in games. The second game was
really a pitcher's duel up until the the very end.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
But I'd like to see the the ratings on the
East Coast and in Toronto for that matter.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The game ended at ten minutes to three in the morning.
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It was compelling. In a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They kept bringing different pitchers and all that, but I
like the short, fat catcher for Toronto.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
He's my favorite player. Alejandro Kirk, who they got for
seventy five hundred dollars from Tijuana for the price of
a used car. They got him as a player.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, that was a sign signing bonus. And he is
a guy.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
He's one of those people that like, if he worked
into your work walked into your workplace, you wouldn't want
him on your softball team. You'd think that guy is
not an athlete, A little portly, yeah, he just doesn't
walk like an athlete. He didn't look like an athlete.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
And they told the story early in the game. I
know you heard it because you're referencing it, but they
the guy was there, the scout, was there to scout
somebody else, and he told his bosses, No, no, no,
you got to hear about this guy Kirk. He's unbelievable.
Now you're going to see him and you're gonna think
I'm nuts. But trust me on this. The short, fat guy, yeah,
the short, short and portly. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
But what do you My final question on this, what
do you think it's going to be like tonight with
all the players who played basically two games last night
and stay up until the middle of the night. And
what what do you expec You're gonna let down in emotion.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You're gonna see a handful of guys uh resting to
start the game. Maybe as each manager sees if they
could can rest some of their starters, because you don't
want them to get hurt. It's it's less about being
tired per se than about them getting injured, because when
you're tired, that's when you blow something in sports. So yeah,
(26:26):
I think you know they're they're the next man up,
might get a start.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Today in some positions. Show freaking show he's the starting pitcher.
That's insane.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
He got a little hurt in the middle of the game.
He tried to steal a base and then he pulled
up limp and hobbled around a little bit, and the
manager ran out there right away. Everything okay, And they
did a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Of I almost dropped an S bomb.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
It's s The owners should have run out there, and
what's wrong and wrong and the head of Fox Sports
and everyone else.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Oh yeah, the commissioner of baseball, he stretched.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
A little winced a little and then then kept on playing.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
But who knows that another benefit of the radiation thing
quick healing, great healing.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You can pull a muzzle in at heels in like
a minute because you've been radiated by the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's the upside, Yeah, exactly. We will finish strong next
strong New Yorkers. By the way, no one will be
as mad at you if it doesn't go right as
the people who love you. Now. Have you felt that
as well?
Speaker 13 (27:29):
You know, it's it's often framed as a burden or
as an obligation, right, But frankly, I think it's an opportunity.
It's an opportunity to actually show that this whole campaign
where we've talked about freezing the rent, making buses fast,
free delivering universal childcare, these are not just slogans, right,
These are commitments, and when we deliver them here in
New York City, it will be also the delivery of
(27:50):
a politics that can actually aspire for more than what
you're living through.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Ron.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
That's Ron Mundani on John Stewart's Day Show last night.
He doesn't have that overly consulted, scared to answer a
question thing that most losers have, which is one of
the reasons he's winning.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's Zoran.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yeah, he is very very skillful and smooth and charming
at pitching his suicidal programs.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He is has Zorn Monodani.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
He is the actually not right.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
He is the archetype of that kind of person. Grew
up rich and privileged, oh yeah, and fights for socialism
in a way that will make more people poor.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I wish we had enough time to read.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I'm working my way through the Matt tayebipiece I've referenced
earlier and the response to it and his blast, which
is absolutely wonderful. But he's talking about who's the guy
with the Nazi tattoo. You know, I'm gonna learn his
name just in time to forget at it because he's
gonna go away plan I remember in Maine with the
Nazi tattoo. But he's talking about Mamdani as well, and
(29:07):
he talks about how he became a journalist, and it's
actually very very funny. But Matt Taibi, like this platner
guy like Mundani, grew up with East Coast money and
were sent to high dollar boarding schools. And he got
us out of his high dollar boarding school and he
realized all this self actualization crap they were teaching me
hasn't done me any good. I have no skills, I
(29:27):
don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life.
And he went overseas and worked, you know, menial jobs
until he could start selling articles. But he says, in
countries where the bulk of people have to be concerned
with survival, getting enough to eat, not being conquered by
rival nations or revolutionaries, and holding crime and corruption to
tolerable levels, colleges don't teach kids that they're citizens of
(29:48):
oppressor nations that should probably be disbanded. They certainly wouldn't
do it if they lucked into the benefits of citizenship
in a country like the United States.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
This country has problems, even serious ones.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But it's not like gangsters are setting up freelance toll
booths on I ninety five, or the strip stake you
ordered at Ponderosa has a good chance of being cat meat.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Citizens of countries that have known easy they have lawyers.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Citizens of countries that have known true suckage, including especially
the ones with Marxist or Maoist histories, laugh at the
things Americans call problems.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
The only people who think.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
The system that produce the richest, safest empire in history
is essentially unfixable are America's own wealthy, whose current disdain
for their own good fortune. It's like a political version
of Heroin Chic. He is one of the greatest writers
operating on earth, and he's absolutely right. This freaking neo
Marxism is all about bored, overly intellectual, overly indoctrinated, slash
(30:46):
educated kids of the affluent.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
God, it makes me sick.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Why do you have all these carpet and scratching polls
back here in the kitchen?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No reason? See, I don't think you're taking this seriously.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
No reason. Let's trip all the little ballsy arns stuff
scratching posts.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Those are scrubbers for the you know, the specialists, trap
gets in the little holes in the specialists. Anyways, let's
go back out front.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Uh oh, we do have a serious breaking news thing
ro that Nettan Yahoo, the Prime Minister of Israel, has
instructed the Israeli Defense Force to immediately carry out powerful
strikes in the Gaza Strip. I don't know if that
means the ceasefire is over or if that will be
received as trying to maintain the ceasefire somehow. It's still
(31:44):
early days. But here's what I've taken away.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Number One, Obviously, Hamas never had any intention of coming
to peace to the Arab nations, which had stood up
and said, yeah, we'll be part of imposing the peace.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
When it became clear that now how' was go time, they're.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Like, yeah, we uh, we're in with you in spirit.
Let's talk more about this defense force and who's going
to be in it. Well, you're going to be in it.
Let's talk about who else is gonna be in it.
So yeah, they'd signed the deal because Trump was twisting
their arms.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
But now's the hard part.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
That seems like this six years ago, like a week,
two weeks.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I don't even know, two weeks lost the ability to
sense the passage of time. I'm like a dog. My
wife comes home, I'm like crying with joy. She's like,
I just went out to the mailbox. I it no
longer since the passage of time.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
And now final faults with Armstrong and getting engage. Here's
your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That's a bad imitation of a really out of date reference.
All right, let's get a final thought from everybody on
the crew.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
To wrap up the show, Mike Langelow or technical director
will lead us into the future of Michael.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Okay, I think I'm the last one on the show.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
I've got this cover grock and take family photos and
start having them do silly thing.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
It's pretty fun and it's real easy too. The learning
curve is there's hardly any learning curve at all. Katie
Green are esteemed and't use women as a final thought.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Katie, speaking of Grok, apparently there's a new character on
there named Mila, and she is quite the bee and
she talks back, Oh really, yeah, I could be sporty.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Yeah, I need to do that in my car. I'll
use this for my final thought. You can change the
personality of the person that is your Grok. Yeah, and
mine is like friendly chummy. I should make more sarcastic
and aggressive. See how that works out.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
So my final thought is with the remodel I've mentioned
many times going on, we're constantly moving our stuff from
one area to the other to another room to make
room for the painters, and then you got to move
the stuff that was in there. It's like a never
ending game of like materialistic musical chairs. I am burning
the place down. I am moving to the woods.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I will live in a tent. I will have a
camp stove in a water purifier period.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
My actual final thought is how much I enjoyed that
baseball game last night. I mean, it was six hours long,
and I was listening and watching throughout the whole thing
and doing other stuff. But man, oh man, did I
enjoy that? That was really fun?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And I'm telling you you gotta do it like soccer.
After twelve innings, you have a home run contest or something,
or the bat race where you spin around three.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Times and then so you can run at first base.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Right something you get Come Armstrong and Getty wrapping up
another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I kid, I've lectured other sports. Plate till somebody wins.
Don't go with some novelty contest. Play till somebody wins.
So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
Armstrong Getdy dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Pickups Mangee swag for your favorite Armstrong and Getty fan.
Christmas is approaching rapidly.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
If you see something we ought to be talking about,
some brilliant thinking or writing, send it along mail bag
at Armstrong and Getdy dot com.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
There's a lot of news to be made this week
in that looming Trump sheet meeting in South Korea. We'll
have all that for you. God bless America.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I'm strong and we cover a lot on today's big,
big show from Trump in Asia. His trade deal is
a gold freeman's walk off. Put the Blue Jays too bad.
Those Swans that don't talk, just.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Hit them in the head. The Armstrong and get the
show Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jettie and no Hee Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Democrats are going to push back aggressively to make sure
that we have fair maps across the country, not partisan
jerry mandering which Republicans have initiated in state after state
after state.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Wow, I know, I know, the great race to the
bottom of jerry mandering, with each side saying this makes
us sad, But we're only doing it because we have
to because the evildoers on the other side have done
it first.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
How are grown ups not in charge of all of this?
Are patriots not in charge? Patriots who like, I'm a Democrat,
you're a Republican, But we're both patriots and we both
know that Illinois is jerrymandered to death, and Massachusetts's jerry
mander to death, and now Texas is trying to do it.
How about we do away with jerry mandering the best
we can in all states.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. Yeah, it's tough, man self.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Governance is tough in the modern age because, like California
is a great example, came up with a really solid looking,
nonpartisan independent districting commission featuring lots of citizens, and but
the Democrats, because it's one party state, gained it immediately
and got control of it by lying about who was
(01:35):
who and the rest of them.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Which is why while Republicans represent about forty percent of
the votes in California, they only have about eighteen percent
of the representation in Congress. So it's already not fair.
This new may argue that this new map, and that's
about in line with tech what Texas is now. By
(01:57):
the way, so Texas caught up to California in terms
of them disenfranchising Democrats in the way that they had
done Republicans California even but now Republican Now California's going
to take it another step and get it down around
five percent. So you have forty percent of the votes
in California, Republicans will have five percent of the representation
after next Tuesday, when our moronic electorate goes to the
(02:21):
polls and votes for this stupid prop correct.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, my home state of Illinois.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It's brutally hilariously Jerry manderd it's funny.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
HACKEM. Jeffreys doesn't mention that, but he must have forgotten.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
How do you have flipping do that with a straight face.
Where are the patriots? That's the right word. We need
to stop saying Republicans and Democrats and look for patriots.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah boy, I love that. Love that.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Somebody put that on the internet, or tattoo it on
your chest, or jot it down to something. Put it
next to our arms strong with this statement of the day.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Put it next to my big Nazi tattoo I've had
on my chest ever since that one night in Bangkok.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Come on now, Oh, we're all young ones.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So here's retch rich Edson on Fox News talking about
this whole thing.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
The congressional redistricting wave has arrived in Indiana. Governor Mike
Brawn's announcing he is quote calling a special legislative session
to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek
to diminish their voice in Washington. Following a push from
the White House, Indiana is among about a dozen states
considering new congressional districts.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The Democrats have done it long before we started.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
They've done it all over the place.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Last week, Virginia Democrats announced plans to redraw their commonwealth's
congressional districts to add as many as three more Democrats
to the House of Representatives, an issue now in the
governor's race.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
What we are seeing today is the worst kind of
political backtracking, an attempt to grab power by erasing the
voter's voice.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
How far are we going to self righteous statements wear
me out?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
How far are we going to take it? So Texas
will get to the point where it's all the House
members are Republicans and Democrats in California will be one
of the House members, and every state will just be
if you have the majority, you don't allow any of
the other party to have a representative. I guess that's
where we're going with our Jerry Mendry.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, I just I don't know where this ends. You
ever been to Indiana, Michael, No, never. You're a native Californian, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Indiana Dunes got sunburned several times there. In fact is
my dermatologist cuts various things out of me. I can
probably attribute several of them to the Indiana Dunes. Southern
Indiana is beautiful, it's absolutely gorgeous, and larry birds from Indiana.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So ends my welcome to India I.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Went to a course game once in Indianapolis, coach, and
it's the only indoor NFL game I've ever been to.
Been too pretty appealing, sitting there in your T shirt,
perfect temperature. Oh yeah that's pretty.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Not yeah nice.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Anyway that we want to hear from Arnold on this,
we do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Jake Tapper was talking to Arnold.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I just love Indiana.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Arnold Schutzenegger, who was reverting back to and I remember
how attractive he was as a candidate, a Republican and
a conservative in a lot of ways, but a reasonable
guy who was willing to compromise and talk to other people.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
And he's got the big neck and the ten and
the movie started and all that sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, and the maid don't forget the mate.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
But then he overreached and the Unions beat the crap
out of him, and he gave up and just became
an annoyance.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
But anyway, here he is with Jake Tapper.
Speaker 9 (05:42):
As you acknowledged, this all started because of redistricting in Texas,
and this was Trump pushing Republican controlled states to throw
out their current congressional maps so as to cook the
book so that there is less it is less likely
for Democrats to retake control of the House during the
next year mid terms. I mean, is it fair to
(06:04):
argue that if you believe that the Republican Party is starting.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
This, No, Jake, there has been cherrymandering going on for
two hundred years. There is such such extreme cherry mandering
going on. They're in a state like Massachusetts, it has
like forty of the puper voting for Trump. They only
had they have seer representative. The Republican Party has Serra representatives.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sent to the House.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Think about that. In New Mexico have forty five percent
of the puper voted for Trump and voted Republican and
zerril is sent to the House zero representative from the
Republican Party. So there's cherrymandering, crazy cherrymandering going on all
over the country.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Jake Hillbridge Gary signed the effing Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
It's named after him. Jacob Blanken, Ignoramus. Hey, Jake Tapper,
you just lost a debate to an Austrian body building
or congratulations, so.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You tell me this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Jake Tapper actually not know that.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, the Republicans started this, didn't they? Are you serious?
You can't be serious. I mean, that was ten minutes
researching jerry mandering. You wouldn't make that statement.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well, and Jake, he didn't even phrase it as Democrats
are saying.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Republic No, he just stated it. Everybody knows the Republican.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
You know, he's lucky, Michael that Arnold didn't lose his
temper right because we know how how angry he gets.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And you know, but I hope you live en up
room for my fist because I'm going to ram it
into your stomach. And I don't know what in the interview. Yeah,
I don't know how you would respond to that. You're
gonna Arnold wasn't done.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
I think this whole thing about finger pointing and said
they did it, it's aid defhobition doing it. That's not
really the way to go. Did one party should outperform
the other party? It should be performance. And when he
comes to mitchrom elections, as you know, always the party
is not in the White House usually wins, but twenty
twenty five thirty seeds. So what does five seats matter
(08:06):
in the first place? In Texas? It is crazy should
outperformed them? That is what where the action is.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Jake I'm sorry, Arnold. Right, everything he's saying is right.
I'm not sure why he called in from a mall
food court though it was noisy wherever he man.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
All I know is I hope you leave enough room
for my fist because I'm going to ram it into
your stomach.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yes, yes, what movie is that?
Speaker 10 (08:33):
You like that?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
What movie is that from?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Was it Kindergarten Cop?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
I don't think so, do you know, Kady?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
You know, I don't how many Arnold Swartzinger movies have
I actually seen?
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Very very few.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, he thinks he's not a good actor.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I think I had a girlfriend who made me watch
The Terminator once because that's not really my bag. Oh yeah,
that one lass. You know, he portrayed a robot so
perfect for that role. I think she might have been
a lisbian.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Lesbian?
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I think my girlfriend was a lisbian. Yet you back
to you, kiddy. This is from the film Running Man.
Oh okay, that's right. It's from Running Man, which I
have not seen. I unfortunately saw Conan the Barbarian at
a drive in theater and it was already so darkly filmed.
At the drive in where it's not as b it
was just it was like a black screen with a
guy you can't understand. So it was not that enjoyable
(09:26):
a cinema experience.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, what makes you think your girlfriend was a lesbian?
You're burying the lead?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Oh, I know this sounds like the sort of thing
a certain kind of guy would say. But the relationship
got hung up, and she, who knows, no longer interested
in me. And I know that's the dumb guy things.
She must be a lesbian if she doesn't like me.
But she It was very odd, and I had heard
(09:53):
stories that she had been with other women's. She was
an athlete, so I don't judge it. Just it made it.
I wish I would have known it. It had made more
sense why things weren't working out, because otherwise it seemed
like everything was.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Great, right, great friends and yeah, yeah, yeah, So why
is this not okay? Because you're anyway? She made me
watch Yeah, well, what straight girl makes you watch The Terminator?
It's a lesbian sort of flick, isn't it. What stop whining?
I asked my gay friends.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Just come up?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Am I wrong?
Speaker 11 (10:28):
Katie?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
That's not a typical sort of movie that a girl
wants to watch?
Speaker 8 (10:31):
It?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
I mean, I enjoy it, and I'm not a lesbian.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
What the hell had a strong Oh it did have
a super strong buff female character in it that.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
She probably was hot for my lesbian girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yes, yeah, just till she met a nice down huh.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
All right, so you can always depend on Gavy Newsome
to interject hyperbole and stupidity into the conversation. Our final
clip on this topic.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Quite literally, I'm making the case that's why I have
this initiative problem fifty. There may not be a twenty
twenty eight election that's free and fair. So my focus
is central to getting over the hump in November fourth
of this year and then working on twenty twenty six
in the midterm re elections. But look, when people, particularly
people that have run before, et cetera, everybody knows the politician.
(11:21):
The response to kabuki, Well, I'm just focusing on my
day job and we'll see where things go. So I
try to be a little more honest about it, and
people ran with it.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yeah, you're trying to be honest about it by claiming
there might not be a twenty twenty eight presidential election.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
God, he's so full of crab.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
That's your honesty.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
He might gather and solidify the half wit vote, which
can get you pretty far in the Democratic primary.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
But anybody with two brain cells to rub together is
going to reject him out of hand.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
She didn't wear Doc Martin's. She didn't listen to Melissa Etherage. Sure, maybe,
I don't know if I can come up with any other.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
We intersected, right, I remember her? Yeah, yeah, she she
had a uh an aspect to her that rings true
to your diagnosis. I remember when you first floated that idea, Suvie.
I was not shocked. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
The hell yeah, yeah, Oh, do you have any theory
on that? Michael?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
No, fair enough, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Is there any chance the baseball players are going to
come out on the field and just weep tonight? I
wonder if they're going to walk out there and just
one of them finally goes down on their knees and
just puts her head in their hands, starts crying, we
have to play again. I barely slept.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Or they're going to send some you know, the the
last guy generally off the bench is going to be
seen in the shadows, pulling fire her alarms and evacuating
the stadium.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Fan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I don't know if I can take first pitch to
and I loved last night's game.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Go in there and tweak the sprinkler so they run
too long in the fields, too muddy something anything.
Speaker 11 (13:08):
If they're in the outfield, they'll just let the ball
go by and just like point to the other person.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
You get it.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I can't move. I'm tired, right, Okay, we up more
in the way, stay here.
Speaker 10 (13:21):
New survey found that most adults believe Halloween is just
as much for grown ups as it is for children. Yeah,
you know you're too old for Halloween when you trick
a treat out a home, then look it up on Zilla.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That's kind of funny. The Senate just voted for the
thirteenth time on opening the government back up, and it
failed again, so we will remain closed for at least
another twenty four hours. We are now at twenty eight
days on the government shut down. The record is thirty four,
so I have a feeling we might get there.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, although the head of the federal employees union came
out yesterday and said end it now. Democrats clean Continuing
Resolution fund it now, so we'll have to see what
earthquakes that causes. So a couple of comments on the
last segment, one from a friend of the Armstrong Getty Show,
Alnonymous was quite plugged in, who said, on the topic
(14:13):
of redistricting in the Evil Prop fifty in California, I
heard that some GOP consultants believe that Gavin's proposition is
triggering Republicans in other states like Indiana to do way
more redistricting than they were planning to, potentially leading to
a very large GOP gain, thus backfiring on Newsom. The
(14:34):
theory is that this might explain why there's less spending
on the No On fifty team than was expected, because
some establishment GOP guys secretly wanted to pass, so it
triggers more backlash, which I could imagine happening because California
is almost jerrymandered to death.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I mean, there's just not much headroom there.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
I'm pretty interesting. Yeah, there really is. Yeah, six to
eight dimensional chess there coming up later this hour. Why show,
Hey Otani messes with his hair so much?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Have an explanation.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Wow, Wow, that's a fairly gay tease.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And speaking of your girlfriend, the probable lesbian So one
of my favorite writers period who happens to be lesbian
Nelly Bowles wrote the following for The Free Press.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Wow, it really was a.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Social contagion, and she talks about the same pole we
were talking about a week ago or whatever it was,
that the number of young people in America who identify
as transgender has been cut in half in two years. Okay,
it was always a social contagion.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's really something.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Uh da da dad.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
This is good for a lot of reasons, she writes,
but in particular it's good for trans people.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why because there have always been a small.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Number of people who feel truly dysphoric in their sex.
And the last thing you want is a horde of
depressed teen girls latching onto your situation as a way
to rage against their bodies, a stand in for anarex
or cutting. I've never been more worried about my rights
as a gay person than when all the angry youths
started announcing they were gay or trans are queer, Because
then I just knew backlash was coming. Anything funky they did,
(16:11):
they called it gay, They wore a weird jacket and
got creative with their haircuts, and all of a sudden,
they're claiming my identity. I say, scram kids, get out
of here. I'm putting up a border around gay territory
and saying no more may enter. Uh it's me, it's
everyone in Provincetown, and it's my Dyke's in the Midwest.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And that's it. We're full up. Go see the Mormons.
See if the Mormons are taking applications.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I'm gonna start using the word scram more often. I
had forgotten about it. I do like that I'd forgotten
about cutting, which was the thing for a while, which
is obviously a contagion.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Also, yeah, yeah, adolescents.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And and the fact that the medical establishment in the
US did and is still saying, oh no no. If
a confused teenager says I feel like a boy, you've
got to give her hormones and delay puberty and remove
her healthy breasts. That's the only way, to my God,
these people ought to be jailed. The jails ought to
be brimming with the progressives in the American medical establishment.
(17:06):
I would be happy to be the judge of those
kangaroo courts when they're up and running.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Got a lot more to jam in the last half hour.
If you miss a get the podcast Armstrong in Getty
on the.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Men Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 12 (17:19):
So this is a massive overhaul of ICE leadership. I'm
told by four senior DHS officials that they're moving up
to twelve ICE chiefs from around the country from their
positions and reassigning them. I'm told this is a move
spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and it's all in an effort
to boost deportation numbers, which are already at more than
half a million since President Trump took off.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So here's what we're talking about.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
Some of the ICE leadership positions being removed are the
heads of ICE here in Los Angeles, in San Diego, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Seattle,
El Paso, New Orleans, and Denver, just to name some
of them.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
That's interesting. So they're going to replace a bunch of
the ICE people in charge hands let replacements by the
Border Patrol Commander Bavino. But why is the big thing?
Which Bill Millusion of Fox explains more here.
Speaker 12 (18:08):
Now, replacing ICE leadership with Border patrol officials signals the
Trump administration wants deportation efforts to get much more aggressive,
with one Border Patrol source telling Fox quote, what did
everyone think mass deportations meant only the worst? Tom Homan
has said it himself. Anyone in the US illegally is
on the table.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
That's it. When I first saw this headline, I thought, Okay,
feels like they've gone a little too far, going to
back off. Nope, the other way around. They feel like
they aren't being aggressive enough. They need people. They're going
to be more aggressive than booting out every single person
that's here illegally.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I think they need to get started right after my
remodel is done.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Only in support of this.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
The minute all the work is done, because there are
apparently roughly two percent of the construction workers in America
who speak English, which is odd.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Give and how those are pretty good jobs? Well yeah,
but if you keep letting people come in from somewhere else,
the wages can keep going down, down, down, correct.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Which is why famously says our Chevez was staunchly against
illegal immigration.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
And Bernie Bernie's against illegal immigration for the class.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I don't understand this. Maybe it'd be worth listening to
on how it fits in with the Build Back Better Plan.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
One O three.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
Michael, senior Trump administration official, did confirm these personnel moves
to Fox, adding that there was a big, widespread review
of Ice leadership after the one big beautiful bill passed,
and I'm told these changes were made based off who
the administration feels can execute a mass deportation agenda with
all of that added money and staffing coming from that bill.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Boy, all right, it's just who's who's down with the
plan and who's not. I'll bet they got plenty of
rumbles from those almost entire progressive cities that who ever
been in that gig for a while was really more
down with the local vibe, sure, than enthusiastic about carrying
out the administration's plans. I can believe that.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Well, we'll see how this plays out in practice and
also politically. Somebody, but about six weeks somebody texted as
to why Shoheo Tani messes with his hair so much?
Speaker 8 (20:22):
So.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
This is the big Japanese star of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
who may be the best baseball pair who ever.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Lived, and maybe the largest man ever to emerge from
the island of Japan.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
He's a very big human being.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Like I said earlier, I think it's similar to Godzilla
and Mathra. I think he came in contact with some
sort of nuclear thing probably, and that's why he's the
most likely explanation. Yeah, how he can be the best
hitter in the best pitcher in the World Series. I mean,
that doesn't mediation. It doesn't make any sense. Last night
he got on base nine times, and now I was
(20:56):
an eighteen inning game, but he set the record during
the nine innings for most extra base hits. Anyway, and
he's pitching tonight. So he's a really good looking guy.
He looks like a male model. And he gets done
hitting his home runs or doubles or striking people out
or whatever he's doing that particular day, and then he's
there with his hat off, and he's constantly messing with
(21:18):
his hair, like running his fingers, throwing it, fluffing it
back up, getting the getting the look just right. I
don't know if this is true or not. You tell
me the problem with Thoughtani's hair is a batting helmet.
American helmets don't fit Asian heads, right. He's trying to
get his helmet to sit right and stay in The
Giants Jung Ho Lee has a hell of a time.
His helmet flies off during swings a couple of times
(21:41):
a game. The Umps used to get in on his
case until they learned that a Korean head doesn't fit
a long American helmet. Do you know anything about.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
That sounds ridiculous to me?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
That's don't all the uh don't major league players all
have custom fit helmets? Io that a guy like little
leagues that are not all sharing three helmets. I would
assume that a guy who who got a seven hundred
million dollar contract as the highest paid athlete on planet
Earth gets a helmet that fits his head.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I would assume, Yeah, I don't know. That sounds like
a crock of crap.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Ah boy, I'll tell you what the most I wish
that game last night had gone one more inning because
something really exciting was gonna happen. One the Toronto Blue
Jays were going to bring in their starter today starter
it looked like and Yamamoto, the pitcher who pitched a
complete game Saturday night for the Dodgers, said hey, coach,
(22:41):
put me in. As they ran they'd run completely out
of pitchers. They were gonna have to put him like
a catcher or something to pitch. And he said, I'm in,
and he went and warmed up. He was. He was
in the bullpen. Warming up is a guy who pitched
a full game forty eight hours earlier, which is amazing
by modern standards.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, I know, it's the World Series. This wouldn't happen.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
But I've always loved it when a team runs out
of pitchers and they got you know, like the their
center fielder's got a really live arm and he pitched
in college. So he comes in and you know, he's
throwing eighty four mile per hour fastballs and occasionally throws
a curve in.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
But because it's so different, the guys can't hit him.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Well, that's what the Dodgers were planning to do because
the manager wasn't going to call up Yamamoto. But it
was really high drama at the end of the game.
It happened in the middle of the night. But the
announcer said, the interpreter's talking to manager Roberts, is it
about Otani? Show Hey Otani? And they thought, wow, it's
got to be something. No, it turned out it was Yamamoto.
The guy had pitched the last game, said who said
(23:38):
put me in? Yeah, no, I'll pitch. He wouldn't to
let some right fielder go in who hasn't pitched since
high school.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You know why Yamamoto is so durable radiation exactly. The
Japanese players have been rated similar to the way Mathra was.
You know, take a look at the timeline. It's the
Fukushima plant.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
You're right, Tsami, the I'm connecting the dots clearly two
miles down the road from Japan's big baseball academy made up.
But that's the how Conspiracyani's hometown is wherever Fukushima is.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, he got radiated.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
That explains everything. Yes, Michael, you figured it out, weed out,
and we called that guy hair brain for the whole
helmets don't fit Asian heads story?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Do you have?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
And then I'll shut up about this because I watched
every pitch of the game last night and found it
absolutely fascinating. You gotta like baseball because I mean, it
was a pitchers the second game. There were two games played,
really those two nine in games. The second game was
really a pitcher's duel up until the the very end.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
But I'd like to see the the ratings on the
East Coast and in Toronto for that matter.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The game ended at ten minutes to three in the morning.
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It was compelling. In a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They kept bringing different pitchers and all that, but I
like the short, fat catcher for Toronto.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
He's my favorite player. Alejandro Kirk, who they got for
seventy five hundred dollars from Tijuana for the price of
a used car. They got him as a player.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, that was a sign signing bonus. And he is
a guy.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
He's one of those people that like, if he worked
into your work walked into your workplace, you wouldn't want
him on your softball team. You'd think that guy is
not an athlete, A little portly, yeah, he just doesn't
walk like an athlete. He didn't look like an athlete.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
And they told the story early in the game. I
know you heard it because you're referencing it, but they
the guy was there, the scout, was there to scout
somebody else, and he told his bosses, No, no, no,
you got to hear about this guy Kirk. He's unbelievable.
Now you're going to see him and you're gonna think
I'm nuts. But trust me on this. The short, fat guy, yeah,
the short, short and portly. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
But what do you My final question on this, what
do you think it's going to be like tonight with
all the players who played basically two games last night
and stay up until the middle of the night. And
what what do you expec You're gonna let down in emotion.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You're gonna see a handful of guys uh resting to
start the game. Maybe as each manager sees if they
could can rest some of their starters, because you don't
want them to get hurt. It's it's less about being
tired per se than about them getting injured, because when
you're tired, that's when you blow something in sports. So yeah,
(26:26):
I think you know they're they're the next man up,
might get a start.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Today in some positions. Show freaking show he's the starting pitcher.
That's insane.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
He got a little hurt in the middle of the game.
He tried to steal a base and then he pulled
up limp and hobbled around a little bit, and the
manager ran out there right away. Everything okay, And they
did a lot.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Of I almost dropped an S bomb.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
It's s The owners should have run out there, and
what's wrong and wrong and the head of Fox Sports
and everyone else.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Oh yeah, the commissioner of baseball, he stretched.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
A little winced a little and then then kept on playing.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
But who knows that another benefit of the radiation thing
quick healing, great healing.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
You can pull a muzzle in at heels in like
a minute because you've been radiated by the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's the upside, Yeah, exactly. We will finish strong next
strong New Yorkers. By the way, no one will be
as mad at you if it doesn't go right as
the people who love you. Now. Have you felt that
as well?
Speaker 13 (27:29):
You know, it's it's often framed as a burden or
as an obligation, right, But frankly, I think it's an opportunity.
It's an opportunity to actually show that this whole campaign
where we've talked about freezing the rent, making buses fast,
free delivering universal childcare, these are not just slogans, right,
These are commitments, and when we deliver them here in
New York City, it will be also the delivery of
(27:50):
a politics that can actually aspire for more than what
you're living through.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
Ron.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
That's Ron Mundani on John Stewart's Day Show last night.
He doesn't have that overly consulted, scared to answer a
question thing that most losers have, which is one of
the reasons he's winning.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's Zoran.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yeah, he is very very skillful and smooth and charming
at pitching his suicidal programs.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
He is has Zorn Monodani.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
He is the actually not right.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
He is the archetype of that kind of person. Grew
up rich and privileged, oh yeah, and fights for socialism
in a way that will make more people poor.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I wish we had enough time to read.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I'm working my way through the Matt tayebipiece I've referenced
earlier and the response to it and his blast, which
is absolutely wonderful. But he's talking about who's the guy
with the Nazi tattoo. You know, I'm gonna learn his
name just in time to forget at it because he's
gonna go away plan I remember in Maine with the
Nazi tattoo. But he's talking about Mamdani as well, and
(29:07):
he talks about how he became a journalist, and it's
actually very very funny. But Matt Taibi, like this platner
guy like Mundani, grew up with East Coast money and
were sent to high dollar boarding schools. And he got
us out of his high dollar boarding school and he
realized all this self actualization crap they were teaching me
hasn't done me any good. I have no skills, I
(29:27):
don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life.
And he went overseas and worked, you know, menial jobs
until he could start selling articles. But he says, in
countries where the bulk of people have to be concerned
with survival, getting enough to eat, not being conquered by
rival nations or revolutionaries, and holding crime and corruption to
tolerable levels, colleges don't teach kids that they're citizens of
(29:48):
oppressor nations that should probably be disbanded. They certainly wouldn't
do it if they lucked into the benefits of citizenship
in a country like the United States.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
This country has problems, even serious ones.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But it's not like gangsters are setting up freelance toll
booths on I ninety five, or the strip stake you
ordered at Ponderosa has a good chance of being cat meat.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Citizens of countries that have known easy they have lawyers.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Citizens of countries that have known true suckage, including especially
the ones with Marxist or Maoist histories, laugh at the
things Americans call problems.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
The only people who think.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
The system that produce the richest, safest empire in history
is essentially unfixable are America's own wealthy, whose current disdain
for their own good fortune. It's like a political version
of Heroin Chic. He is one of the greatest writers
operating on earth, and he's absolutely right. This freaking neo
Marxism is all about bored, overly intellectual, overly indoctrinated, slash
(30:46):
educated kids of the affluent.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
God, it makes me sick.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Why do you have all these carpet and scratching polls
back here in the kitchen?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
No reason? See, I don't think you're taking this seriously.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
No reason. Let's trip all the little ballsy arns stuff
scratching posts.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Those are scrubbers for the you know, the specialists, trap
gets in the little holes in the specialists. Anyways, let's
go back out front.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Uh oh, we do have a serious breaking news thing
ro that Nettan Yahoo, the Prime Minister of Israel, has
instructed the Israeli Defense Force to immediately carry out powerful
strikes in the Gaza Strip. I don't know if that
means the ceasefire is over or if that will be
received as trying to maintain the ceasefire somehow. It's still
(31:44):
early days. But here's what I've taken away.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Number One, Obviously, Hamas never had any intention of coming
to peace to the Arab nations, which had stood up
and said, yeah, we'll be part of imposing the peace.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
When it became clear that now how' was go time, they're.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Like, yeah, we uh, we're in with you in spirit.
Let's talk more about this defense force and who's going
to be in it. Well, you're going to be in it.
Let's talk about who else is gonna be in it.
So yeah, they'd signed the deal because Trump was twisting
their arms.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
But now's the hard part.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
That seems like this six years ago, like a week,
two weeks.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I don't even know, two weeks lost the ability to
sense the passage of time. I'm like a dog. My
wife comes home, I'm like crying with joy. She's like,
I just went out to the mailbox. I it no
longer since the passage of time.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
And now final faults with Armstrong and getting engage. Here's
your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That's a bad imitation of a really out of date reference.
All right, let's get a final thought from everybody on
the crew.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
To wrap up the show, Mike Langelow or technical director
will lead us into the future of Michael.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Okay, I think I'm the last one on the show.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
I've got this cover grock and take family photos and
start having them do silly thing.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
It's pretty fun and it's real easy too. The learning
curve is there's hardly any learning curve at all. Katie
Green are esteemed and't use women as a final thought.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Katie, speaking of Grok, apparently there's a new character on
there named Mila, and she is quite the bee and
she talks back, Oh really, yeah, I could be sporty.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Yeah, I need to do that in my car. I'll
use this for my final thought. You can change the
personality of the person that is your Grok. Yeah, and
mine is like friendly chummy. I should make more sarcastic
and aggressive. See how that works out.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
So my final thought is with the remodel I've mentioned
many times going on, we're constantly moving our stuff from
one area to the other to another room to make
room for the painters, and then you got to move
the stuff that was in there. It's like a never
ending game of like materialistic musical chairs. I am burning
the place down. I am moving to the woods.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I will live in a tent. I will have a
camp stove in a water purifier period.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
My actual final thought is how much I enjoyed that
baseball game last night. I mean, it was six hours long,
and I was listening and watching throughout the whole thing
and doing other stuff. But man, oh man, did I
enjoy that? That was really fun?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And I'm telling you you gotta do it like soccer.
After twelve innings, you have a home run contest or something,
or the bat race where you spin around three.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Times and then so you can run at first base.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
Right something you get Come Armstrong and Getty wrapping up
another grueling four hour workday.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
I kid, I've lectured other sports. Plate till somebody wins.
Don't go with some novelty contest. Play till somebody wins.
So many people, thanks so a little time. Go to
