Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. But I
think there'll be others.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I mean they're corrupt, these these were corrupt radical lect
Democrats has called me essentially, was it he's worse than
a Democrat.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I would say the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Are better than call me, I think, But no, there'll
be others. Look it was That's my opinion. They weaponized
the Justice de carpet like nobody in history. What they've
done is therebook, and so I would I hope there frankly,
I hope.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
There are others.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Kids.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You can't let this happen. George Country. So over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
There was a fair amount of talk in your intelligentia
about Trump going after political opponents and whatnot, and the
mainstream media view seems to be that it had never
been thought overdone before Trump did this. To James Comy,
it's all brand new. Mark Alprin, to his credit in
his newsletter on Saturday morning, I think it was went
(01:21):
through all the examples of law fair just since two thousand,
actually went clear back to Clinton he went way back.
Just the number of times various White Houses have had
the Justice Department go after somebody unsuccessfully that they probably
almost certainly was just political.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It has happened a lot. Is it growing? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is it getting more troubling? Absolutely, But it's not new.
We've been on this trajectory for quite some time. I
don't know why we can't have conversations like this. Why
can't we say, yeah, everybody's doing it and it keeps
getting worse. So how do we do we go about
stopping it as opposed to pretending that only one side
does it.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I don't even write, And as always I find myself wondering,
are you people just completely unaware of what Jack just said?
Or are you just lying about it? I mean, because
I could handle it better if they're liars. I mean,
I know what to do with liars. But if you
somehow missed all of the examples out, even thought they
(02:29):
were entirely legit, Alvin Bragg running for office on the
I will get Trump then bringing an absolutely crap case forward,
Lettisha James did exactly the same thing as the state
attorney general.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
I'll get Trump.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, you know, if you could make the argument that
when it was the Democrats doing it over and over again,
mostly just the Democrats and the media pretending that it
was perfectly legitimate, we were never we're going to have
a productive discussion across the aisle about law fair and
(03:05):
that it took the Republicans saying Okay, we can do
this too, let's do this, let's dance, and it just
just going nuts to provoke a national conversation about it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So here's Dan Abrams on one of the talk shows yesterday.
He's a legal analyst, and he is You might not
like him because he's a lefty, but he's in agreement
with Andrew McCarthy of National Review and a number of
other people on the right that I like in the
likelihood of a prosecution being low.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say,
I don't even think that many in the Trump administration
believe they're going to get a conviction. I think that
there's a ninety five percent plus chance that there won't
be a conviction that will either get dismissed by a judge,
there'll be a hung jury, there'll be an acquittal. But
I'm not certain that that's the end goal here. And
that's what makes this so unusual, because typically a prosecutor's
(03:59):
office will not bring a case unless they think they
can win it.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Does it make it unusual?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
This didn't happen with Trump, where they brought cases that
they knew they weren't going to win just because they
wanted to make him look bad and drag him down
and be able to claim forty two feladies the first
time we've ever had a president.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Blah blah blah blah blah. See it's not new.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Everybody's doing it, and it's just say, it's so annoying
tiring to Scott Jennings forty five.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Michael, Yeah, watching somebody like Speaker Johnson normalize that, it
just it sends us down an incredibly dangerous cat. I'm
stunned to hear you say we're now worried about normalizing
this kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
We had a turn about to do.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
Right now, let's hear it.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I'm about to tell you what happened in the state
of New York when the Democratic Attorney General ran an
entire political campaign promising promising not to uphold justice, but
to prosecute one person, Donald Trump, and I didn't hear
a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth among Democrats
normalizing the weaponization of justice.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
What the plucky little anchor ette say to that, I wonder, Yeah, well,
I think we've covered this. We know we fat Alvin,
we know what this is. We know what's going on now,
whether or not they're gonna go after more people, Pam
Bondi's gonna go after more people than just former FBI
(05:26):
director James Comy. One of the things I really hate
about this is it's making James Comy a bit of
a martyr slash hero for a certain crowd, and he's
a disgusting human being. So I hate for him to
get any tread out there. I mean, if he gets
to sell a book or go around speaking to people
and making money, that's horrible.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
My heart is broken, is it?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Maybe he put out a series of greeting cards with
him staring up into the woods and maybe looking longingly
at a sunset, or I don't know, whatever waves crashing
on the show, or I can think of a number
of examples and keep the faith beholding a beautiful flower
in the morning light, exactly with his pithy quotes, his
pithy bits of.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Wisdom, staring at a puppy.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Like, but I'm not afraid exactly now I see him
like holding up a baby and looking at the baby
and its innocence.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
And then some pithy James Komy quote, we will not
live on our knees. That's a good one, right there.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yes, so unless we have our shins shot off, and
unfortunately we will live on our knees.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Hey, that is a very obscure reference to the King
of the Hill. Or remember how old cotton and niece
shut off by the Japanese in World War Two? Right,
the Korea is shins shot off those by the Koreans
in the Korean War.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Oh right, right, right, Sorry, I had the wrong conflict.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh So, chat GPS Chat GPT just made an announcement
they're rolling out new parental controls, which, if they work,
like most parental controls out there, you click on a
button and say, yeah, I'm eighteen. Okay, it's a good
parental control. But anyway, the new chat about you know
(07:17):
what I think has happened. I think I think my
tongue has said I've had enough of this. I don't
want to talk about any of this stuff anymore, so
I refused to cooperate.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Your tongue has retired before the rest of the assassinating.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
The new Chat bought accounts for minors will limit answers
related to graphic content, romantic and sexual role play.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So you're gonna You're not gonna allow a sixteen year
old to have a sexy conversation with a computer.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
We live in weird times. Viral challenges, no viral.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Challenges on chat GPT, and no extreme beauty ideals.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Know what that means? Familiar with that?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, it's those those trends you see
every so often about how they're convincing adolescent girls usually
and the boys too, that their thighs have to look
like this, or their stomach has to be this flat,
or the ratio for their hips the stomach should do
whatever the hell.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Hey hmm, okay, well, at least she's trying.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
So the modern world is going to kill me, but
at least the people I love know what my wishes are.
I just got done my sweet wife and I with
his process of getting an estate plan together. Here for
a trust and will A ANDNG with the here's the word,
get security and peace of mind by making a state
an estate plan. Now you can create and manage a
customer of state plan starting just one hundred and ninety
(08:47):
nine dollars. A trust is a little more. What's the difference?
What do I need? They are fabulous at helping you
understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think you shouldn't do this. And then when dad
passes on or mom or whatever, and he got a
bunch of stuff you gotta figure out you let the
government get involved, Let let your county, state and federal
government get involved, and splitting it up among the kids.
I think that's a better way to do it, and
make sure everybody hates each other at the end of
the process and the government keeps half of it. But yes,
if you don't want to do it that way, you
can go with this trust and will live customer support
(09:16):
through chat, phone or email. Have all your important documents
in one place, bank level encryption.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Secure your assets, protect your loved ones with trust and
will get twenty percent off on your estate planned documents
by visiting trustinwill dot com slash armstrong. That's trustinwill dot
com slash armstrong. Do this today, at least look into it.
Trust in will dot com slash Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So you got the protesters are out in Portland against
the idea of Trump sending the National Guard into Portland
to try to quell unrest, which they say, there.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Is no unrest. I don't I don't actually know answer
that question.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They've certainly because there is no unrest, you send troops,
we will create some unrest to prove that the troops
shouldn't be there.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Got it. Excellent point.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There's a week to two that story, among other things
on the way stay.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Here, marstrow Heyetty.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
The US team staged a furious rallied after falling behind
at the Ryder Cup of New York's Long Island, but
in the end, the European team held on to retain
one of golf's most prestigious titles Ireland. Shaye Lowerries. Thank
the putt that want it all for the Europeans. The
US will get another crack at the trophy in two years.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
In which the mainstream media takes one of the most
amazing things I've ever seen in sports and reduces it
to seventeen seconds of oh well we lost.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Right, we did indeed?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Okay, and what was one of the most interesting bottom
line so there are three sessions three days.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
There are actually five sessions, but three days. Day one
the US got whooped humiliated. Day two the US got
whooped humiliated.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Day three.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Twelve individual matches nobody has ever come back from I
think four and a half points and we are seven
points down. We had to win all the matches, but
one completely impossible. It was like a baseball team being
down by fifteen runs. After eight we lost by one run.
It was one of the most miraculous comebacks I've ever
(11:22):
seen in sports. It was it was edge of your seat,
jumping up and down. Are you blanking kidding me? Astonishing
comeback that fell?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
That sure, just that much. So I don't know, it's
super exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So I don't know much about the golf, but I
was flipping on the cable news this morning and I
heard people talking about the really unsportsmanlike conduct that was
occurring among a lot of the fans. What is the
story on that, like, really really over the top.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, a bunch of things at work there. Number one,
you're in New York, so start there. Number Two, America
was getting its ass whooped, and everybody was in a
bit of an ugly mood and some of the higher
profile players for Europe are fairly feisty, and so the
feisty fans of New York. And you know, if it's
(12:14):
one out of a thousand who screaming really bad stuff
or it really inopportune moments, because golf is one of
a few sports where you're expected to shut the hell
up as a fan during you know, the key moments,
like in tennis, for instance, it doesn't take a lot
of people being you know, bad humans to make the
(12:35):
crowd look really bad.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
But there was a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, we've talked about this many times.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Just the interesting idea that in sports like tomorrow night
you got Red Sox Yankees, a Major League Baseball playoffs start,
you could end up with a pitcher batter situation that
makes all the difference in the game very difficult to hit.
A baseball crowd scream at a decimal that is not
(13:01):
healthy as opposed to silent. Yes, different sports have a
different way of doing it.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Well yeah, yeah, But the funny thing is if you
are in a sport where everything's expected to be loud,
no individual yelling anything matters, you can't hear them, you
can't pick it out.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
It's a cacophony, right right, exactly, so golf.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Either, you know, and we've got some quotes here that
are pretty interesting, But do you know what were people saying?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I heard it was really really awful, but I haven't
heard he may say what like they insulting in their
wives or there. Oh everything you can imagine, really everything, man, Yeah, yeah,
personal insults, wow, obscenity.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Just anything you can imagine.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah, here's the great Rory McElroy's a cute little irishman.
He hits the ball about a mile and a half.
Give me fifteen, Michael.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
I think golf should be held a higher standard than
what was. You know, then, what was saying right there
this week? Golf high is the ability to unite people.
Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette,
It teaches you how to play by the rules. It
teaches you how to respect people. And you know sometimes
(14:14):
this week we didn't see that.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Your wife's a whore? Shut up your little iris.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, it took me lucky charms.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Oh, now a racial epithet more or less, you know,
I kind of like this one.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Give me eighteen, Michael.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
With all that in mind, everything you go through.
Speaker 11 (14:32):
How satisfying is it to turn around to someone and say, quote,
shut the effort, and then stiff it to two feet.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Very satisfying.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
Congratulations, It wasn't stiff.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It wasn't stiff.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I had to put it, you know. It's just it's
a reflection of the world we live in.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It definitely is, of course, as we just keep getting
courser and courser, and the last remnants of places where
you don't have courseness, it's starting to creep in. Weddings
and funerals are next. I so, wow, wow, that.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Is going to change. I will tell you this.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
When people would shout something awful or at an awful
moment that's very unsportsmanlike, uh, you would hear large portions
of the crowd booth them and express their disapproval of it.
And it wasn't just the other team's fans, It was
like all the fans. So it was a minority. But
has anybody who's observed any even a classroom or a wedding,
(15:43):
or any gathering of human beings, It doesn't take a
majority to ruin it, of course not. It just takes
a few people of social compact is a fairly fragile thing.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, dang it, everything goes in that direction. Oh and
one more golf thing. As I am not a golfer,
but I saw a Wall Street Journal story we need
to do away with the gimme putt? Did you read that? No,
would you have any idea what they were talking about?
Off the top of your head, Well, it's time to end,
(16:14):
like time to end the gimme putt. That's when it's
like it's so close you just say, eh, pick it up.
I'm sure in the context of the Ryder Cup or
just in general, just in general, just regular golf.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I have no freaking idea.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, I didn't click on it because I don't play golf,
but I just thought it was kind.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Of a funny thing.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So Trump is sitting down with net and Yahoo. They
are going to have a press conference today. Trump claimed
on Friday and all weekend long that he has got
a way to solve the whole Palestinian gazam hostage mess,
which is pretty thorny and violent, as you know. And
he says he's got a way to solve it. So
we're gonna hear about that at some point today. The
(16:53):
return of the hostage hostages not sausages, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Breakfast meat or a humans being detained by monsters the
second one, the second one.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Now I'm good. Now, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Okay, plus the whole soft on crime apparatus. This is
a carefully organized, well financed group of human beings who
have dedicated their lives to these bizarro practices that are
miserable failures. But they will continue succeeding until we recognize
who they are and what they're doing.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
So we'll talk more about that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Uh, fantastic. When does Comy's trial thing start? Do we
have any idea when that actually happens? Oh, that's gonna
be not sure. I'm not sure it'll ever come to trial.
You don't think it's either it'll get dismissed, yeah, or
it'll just peter out.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
The prosecutors in charge will just look at what they
have and the strength of the case and just to
hem and haw and shuffle their feet until everybody forgets
about it.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But I'm not afraid, So let's have a trial.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
Man.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Oh God's sake, is pampus a crime? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We got all that stuff Joe mentioned, and any news
that breaks while we're on the air, and I think
there's gonna be plenty today. If you missed the segment
or an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
demand Armstrong and Getty and the.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Basic problem we have.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
No, no, no, no, I want to set it up. I
want to set it up, Michael before we get to
Bill Maher if you recognize that voice.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Two things.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
One, I forgot to bring in my Trump pinata. Is
that my grocery store yesterday, my local grocery store, and
they're selling pinatas for some reason. This is a Mexican
grocery store.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Are you in Mexico? No?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Uh, it's my local mercado. Is that Spanish for market?
That's what it says on the sign. AnyWho, They have
piatas in there, all kinds of different pinatas, and they
had a Trump pagnanda. I thought I gotta have that.
We got to have that in the studio. So I
bought it and I'll bring it in and hang it
in the studio. It's pretty big, it's like four feet tall.
And then this idea of.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Being you beat an effigy of the President of the
United States until it breaks open.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And candy falls them. Yeah, I don't know if that Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't know if there's any politics behind that or not,
or if they just thought it would sell and that
was the only thing to it.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Confirming something JD.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Vance said earlier today, the US is considering granting Ukrainian
President Zelenski's request for Tomahawk cruise missiles and allowing Kiev
to strike deep into Russia. President Trump's envoy confirmed that
would be a big deal. Tomahawk missiles and you can
(19:36):
shoot deep into Russia. That's a different war than what
we've had for the last three years. And interesting that.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's Vance saying that, since he's been highly Ukraine skeptical
over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But it's been confirmed, so that ought to get Vlad's attention.
Different topic.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Bill maher.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Lifetime lefty progressive Democrat and proud of it and often
crazy in my opinion, thinks the Democratic parties ain't going
to win unless they change the road they're on. On
his show Friday Night, got a lot of attention, saying
things like this.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
The basic problem we have in America is conservatives think
the Liberals are insane, and they're not completely wrong. Now
I don't think most liberals are insane, but neither do
they make it clear they disapprove of the ones who are,
and their cowardice in not marginalizing their own crazies has
been their downfall. I couldn't get Neil de grasse Tyson,
(20:32):
a genius scientist and pre eminent scientific voice in the media,
to agree that it was ridiculous for scientific American and
the Atlantic to be claiming that separating sports by sex
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Actually, it makes perfect sense, and it's obvious that.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It does crowd collapse.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Though maybe they would clap for anything, he said, I
don't know, although we know from polling it's like an
eighty twenty ninety ten issue.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Right, Yeah, anyway, And it is exceptional and interesting that
a so called mainstream liberal would not say, yeah, no,
I'm not going to.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Say that the sports should be separated by sex. What
was he afraid option?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He doesn't believe it. There's not a chance he actually
believes it. Anyway, next clip there, Michael, And there's a.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Lot of stuff like that on the left, and when
conservatives see it, they say, I'm sorry, We're just not
going to go along with reinventing society, often pointlessly, even
if we have to cancel democracy to do it.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
That's what they're saying.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
They see gender is only a construct, and sex is
assigned at birth, and they say, we're not doing that.
Transing kids by self diagnosis with no age limit, no
parental notification, and no acknowledgment.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Of social contagion.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Not doing it asylum now covers any reason for anyone
to come to America. Not doing it. Homelessness is a lifestyle.
Natural immunity doesn't count anymore. Whiteness is toxic penises in
women's prisons, welcoming the Intifada.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
We're not doing it.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
He's right, We're not.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
He is right, and that is white Trump what we
are not doing any of that. I like the one
dog darn it, and one of them really stood out
to me. Homelessness is a lifestyle, is a good way. Well,
we're not putting up with those. No, we aren't, and
that is why Democrats will lose forever, at which he
(22:37):
goes on to talk about here, I believe next.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
If we are ever going to get back to the
old America, that's got to be the Democrats part of
the bargain. Stop coming up with radically new and often
terrible ideas, And then then the next breath insists there'll
be no debate about any of it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
That if you don't see.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
It right away and go along, you're bad, stupid and deplorable,
as if he were saying, dug too plus two equals
five is not obvious. Yeah, it's obvious.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You can't add.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, trans and kids by self diagnosis with no age limit,
no printal notification, and no acknowledgment of social contagion. Exactly.
I really like that one. The not biling when to say, look,
this is a trend, this is a fad, this is
it's like, you know, horrifically, if you have in your
(23:33):
high school a kid commits suicide, it often catches on
and you have more than one.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I remember my high school.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You had a trend there for a while of getting
pregnant caught on. Yeah, the whole I'm a different gender. Look,
all the attention I'm getting is a contagion. Also, that's
the first time I've ever heard anybody other than like
a hardcore conservative say out loud it's a social contagion.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
And to ignore social contagion among teens, especially teen girls,
is too nor like the number one thing that happens
teens following trends. Does that ring a bell for anybody?
You know, That's what they do all the time, and
we kind of did too as kids, and that's just
what kids from.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Time immemorial do.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
And yet you weren't allowed to say that when you're
talking about the trans thing. You're right, it's obscene, it's disgusting,
and it's a denial of what is plainly true.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I get like Republicans are afraid to contradict Trump or
go up against Trump because they need the Trump wing
of the party to get elected.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
It's got to be a.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Really uncomfortable thing for mainstream lefties to be so terrified
of the radical neo Marxist crowd that you can't even
call out mutilating children who are just following a social
contagion of transgenderism.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
That's a bad position.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
I suggest you dig deep and find some courage, friends,
because you're con owning some really, really sick stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I wanted to read this part so mar mocked democrats
smug self righteousness in defending some of the dumbest ideas
to ever come down the pike, and he had examples
of math is racist, queers for Palestine, looting is cool?
Healthy at any weight? If the men's football team played
the women's team, it would be a tie.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Those are things.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
We have heard in the last several years, right the
whole healthy at any weight. Do not acknowledge that that
being three hundred pounds is anything that you should take.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
A look at, just not yeah, yeah, is it over?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
That's the question.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
The craziness.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
It hasn't peaked at least.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I absolutely think so. I think we're on the downhill
side of that. That whatever that was, I think we're
on the downhill side of it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
But can the sane mainstream clean out the pockets of
hardcore insanity?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Though?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Like education, which is what I'm always thinking about, is
the is the lack of the fervor for that madness
among you know, the mainstream going to be enough to
root it out of where it's really really entrenched. I
don't see that unless there's a concerted effort and you
(26:19):
know a whole lot of screaming and yelling and throwing
up of hands and demonstrations. Because the colleges, man, that's
going to be a hard fight. One more comment from
Bill Maher before we move on.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Smug self righteousness in the defense of some of the
dumbest ideas to ever come down the pike is not
a formula that's really working for you. Because here's one
thing I can promise every liberal in this country. The
Democrats can win every election from now until forever, and
the people who now hold the reins of power will
(26:49):
not give it back if they think you're still nutty.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know if I agree with that, but the
opposite is certainly true. Democrats will lose every election from
now until forever if you don't abandon like shun I
mean vocally shun the crazies in your party right right.
And that's going to be a rip in the band
aid off moment, no doubt. It's gonna sting, and you're
gonna go out. But I feel like somebody that we've
(27:17):
never heard of is going to run for president as
a Democrat and say and just ignore those people. No, no, no, no,
there's two genders. No no no no, no girls, boy
sports no no no. We got to do something about
the homeless thing.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Now. No, math isn't racist, that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's just going to say that and really bring a
big chunk of people over to their side.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It might be somebody we've never heard of, or it
might be recent tourists to beautiful Iowa. Ram Emmanuel could
be who's making the rounds at all the big events,
could be he would say.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
That sort of thing. He absolutely would. Yeah, all right,
I know you had something good.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Yeah, the uh let him out of prison? Industrial complex?
How it works, who's financing it? The maniac who murdered
that poor Ukrainian girl is in Charlotte. It's absolutely clear
what's going on and how that works.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I hate that.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I hate that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
All right, bunch of other stuff on the way to
stay here. Perhaps now I'm gonna go ahead and name
it not. Perhaps it is the single dumbest front page,
top of the fold USA Today headline they've ever had.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I can't. Oh, that's a.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Leap, you know, And I'm kind of feeling them. They
might be where we are. They're just like so much
mayhem in the world. You're like, I don't even know
if I can talk about it anymore. Their big front
page story today USA Today is the semi colon dying
opinion split on relevance. We needed a moment of mirth,
(28:47):
and there it is, and they take it completely seriously.
Is the semi colon dying opinion split onrelevance? Is their
big front page mini page story. Got to admit, I
don't know exactly how to use a semiaelon. I'm not
sure I ever did. I certainly don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I used to, but yes, it's grown fuzzy in my head.
Absolutely Anyway, Roy Cooper was the former governor of North Carolina.
I got a reputation as kind of a moderate lefty,
a normal lefty. But he's running for the open Senate
(29:25):
seat next year in that fine state. And he says
one of his major accomplishments as the state's governor was
the creation of a racial equity task force that pushed
to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes, the result of which,
among many many other things, was career criminal, crazy person
anonymous scumbag who senselessly murdered that poor Ukrainian refugee gal
(29:50):
on the Charlotte subway train.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
God, that's one of the worst things ever.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And it is interesting on a couple of different levels
that he is touting this partly because the left side
of the Democratic Party. The far left, including a lot
of black folks, is still really down with these philosophies,
given how the rest.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Of America feels about them.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
It's striking to me that again, this is like an
important part of his resume, what he's offering to voters.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Well, this thinking which is very you know, socialism, communism.
Mom Dommy said the other day he proposed on a
radio show, proposed higher tax rates for white neighborhoods. Yeah,
basing tax rates on the color of the people in
your neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
So the Free vecn goes through Cooper's history with the
Task Force for Racial Equity and Criminal Justice. But the
part that I wanted to get into, at least a
little bit, is that that there are a couple of
a big, really well financed not for profits that are
(31:02):
pushing this stuff all over America. And the Free Beacon
reported that Mecklenburg County, which is where Charlotte is, actually
thanked one of those groups, the MacArthur Foundation, in twenty
twenty in a press release for helping fund its efforts
to reduce its jail population through reforming bail policy and
(31:22):
equity programs. And it was interesting to see the MacArthur
Foundation mentioned because I'd read elsewhere that that is one
of several nonprofits or NGOs that are spending zillions of
dollars to push this stuff. This is their charity. And
here's a great example for you. Andrew Kerr, writing in
(31:42):
The Free Beacon, a consulting firm funded by left wing
billionaires has embedded itself in the offices of forty progressive
prosecutors in America, where it has quietly helped to craft
soft on crime policies that now affect forty eight million
Americans across twenty two states. They are known as the
Wren Collective WRN, like the Bird, The Ren Collective is
(32:06):
a firm that provides its services to prosecutors for free
and with no expectation of publicity.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
In fact, they don't want it.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
According to a new report from the Law Enforcement Legal
Defense Fund, they are an incredibly well financed think tank
corporation that whenever a Democrat prosecutor gets elected, they call
you up and say, hey, we've got this system for
bail reform.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
It's plug and play.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Let us drop by and give you all the information
you need, the how to's, and you can get this
going and the progressive prosecutors all say yes, thank.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
You very much.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
The ren Collective is bankrolled by several left wing billionaires,
Texas billionaire John Arnold, who invested more than forty six
million dollars into progressive criminal justice reform since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Now do you think that like him and these people
are all Marxists. It's just to you know, flood the
zone with s and have the whole system collapsed because
we don't like in capitalism in Western demoxracies. Because if
they don't believe that that's actually an easier sell to me,
then you trying to explain to me how you think
(33:20):
this is going to make society better, like even things out.
How could you possibly believe that leaving a black, proven
to be violent person on the street helps.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Anything, right, Yeah, I know it seems crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
You know. The thing about dedicated Marxists is that they
frame their argument in moral terms because they know not
everybody's going to believe their program. But if they can
convince everybody that to do X is racist, even though
doing X has nothing to do with racism whatsoever, and
the people doing X or just normal people going about
(33:59):
their lives. But as James Lindsay put it so beautifully
and simply. The critical race theory deal and the neo
Marxism is call something racist until you control it. And
a lot of people fall for the moral argument. They
don't realize where it's coming from. And they sit there
(34:19):
being lectured by Robin DiAngelo about white fragility or something,
and they're so desperate to be a good person as
they say, Okay, okay, yes we should empty the prisons
because that's a legacy of what's the term chattel slavery, right, right,
and we have systemic racism, so yes, we should empty
the prisons.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
And they fall for these arguments.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
By even if you believe the idea that there are
thousands and thousands of black men in prison for simply
possessing a joint like that old story, right, how does
that justify leaving some guy who's a violent lunatic on
the street.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I know, but that's you're trying to make a logical
argument against a cultish belief, an emotional belief, and that's
it's hard to argue logic to somebody who's just swept
up in this emotional idea, this group, the rent collected,
I'm talking about and it sounds like something out of
a spy novel, but you can. You can follow the
money and follow the paperwork, and these people are active activists.
(35:23):
The group has worked with some of the most left
wing prosecutors in the country, including former San Francisco da Ceso,
Bodine Burlington, Vermont State's attorney Sarah George Monica, I'm sorry,
Monique Warel, the state attorney in Florida.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Blah blah blah blah bah.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
And what they do is again furnished plug and play
far left prosecute policies for all these prosecutors' offices. And
they do it very very quietly. Oh you know what,
I didn't get to this story, the final story here.
I'll just give you the headline anti Israel. Microsoft employees
arrested for storming the president's office have partnered with a
(36:03):
bail fund led by a murderer who bashed a man's
skull with a hammer. And all of those violent demonstrators
got arrested or getting bailed out by these radical left groups.
So there's no repercussion for breaking the law.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. But I
think there'll be others.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I mean they're corrupt, these these were corrupt radical lect
Democrats has called me essentially, was it he's worse than
a Democrat.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I would say the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Are better than call me, I think, But no, there'll
be others. Look it was That's my opinion. They weaponized
the Justice de carpet like nobody in history. What they've
done is therebook, and so I would I hope there frankly,
I hope.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
There are others.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Kids.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You can't let this happen. George Country. So over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
There was a fair amount of talk in your intelligentia
about Trump going after political opponents and whatnot, and the
mainstream media view seems to be that it had never
been thought overdone before Trump did this. To James Comy,
it's all brand new. Mark Alprin, to his credit in
his newsletter on Saturday morning, I think it was went
(01:21):
through all the examples of law fair just since two thousand,
actually went clear back to Clinton he went way back.
Just the number of times various White Houses have had
the Justice Department go after somebody unsuccessfully that they probably
almost certainly was just political.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It has happened a lot. Is it growing? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is it getting more troubling? Absolutely, But it's not new.
We've been on this trajectory for quite some time. I
don't know why we can't have conversations like this. Why
can't we say, yeah, everybody's doing it and it keeps
getting worse. So how do we do we go about
stopping it as opposed to pretending that only one side
does it.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I don't even write, And as always I find myself wondering,
are you people just completely unaware of what Jack just said?
Or are you just lying about it? I mean, because
I could handle it better if they're liars. I mean,
I know what to do with liars. But if you
somehow missed all of the examples out, even thought they
(02:29):
were entirely legit, Alvin Bragg running for office on the
I will get Trump then bringing an absolutely crap case forward,
Lettisha James did exactly the same thing as the state
attorney general.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
I'll get Trump.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, you know, if you could make the argument that
when it was the Democrats doing it over and over again,
mostly just the Democrats and the media pretending that it
was perfectly legitimate, we were never we're going to have
a productive discussion across the aisle about law fair and
(03:05):
that it took the Republicans saying Okay, we can do
this too, let's do this, let's dance, and it just
just going nuts to provoke a national conversation about it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So here's Dan Abrams on one of the talk shows yesterday.
He's a legal analyst, and he is You might not
like him because he's a lefty, but he's in agreement
with Andrew McCarthy of National Review and a number of
other people on the right that I like in the
likelihood of a prosecution being low.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say,
I don't even think that many in the Trump administration
believe they're going to get a conviction. I think that
there's a ninety five percent plus chance that there won't
be a conviction that will either get dismissed by a judge,
there'll be a hung jury, there'll be an acquittal. But
I'm not certain that that's the end goal here. And
that's what makes this so unusual, because typically a prosecutor's
(03:59):
office will not bring a case unless they think they
can win it.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Does it make it unusual?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
This didn't happen with Trump, where they brought cases that
they knew they weren't going to win just because they
wanted to make him look bad and drag him down
and be able to claim forty two feladies the first
time we've ever had a president.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Blah blah blah blah blah. See it's not new.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Everybody's doing it, and it's just say, it's so annoying
tiring to Scott Jennings forty five.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
Michael, Yeah, watching somebody like Speaker Johnson normalize that, it
just it sends us down an incredibly dangerous cat. I'm
stunned to hear you say we're now worried about normalizing
this kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
We had a turn about to do.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
Right now, let's hear it.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I'm about to tell you what happened in the state
of New York when the Democratic Attorney General ran an
entire political campaign promising promising not to uphold justice, but
to prosecute one person, Donald Trump, and I didn't hear
a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth among Democrats
normalizing the weaponization of justice.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
What the plucky little anchor ette say to that, I wonder, Yeah, well,
I think we've covered this. We know we fat Alvin,
we know what this is. We know what's going on now,
whether or not they're gonna go after more people, Pam
Bondi's gonna go after more people than just former FBI
(05:26):
director James Comy. One of the things I really hate
about this is it's making James Comy a bit of
a martyr slash hero for a certain crowd, and he's
a disgusting human being. So I hate for him to
get any tread out there. I mean, if he gets
to sell a book or go around speaking to people
and making money, that's horrible.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
My heart is broken, is it?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Maybe he put out a series of greeting cards with
him staring up into the woods and maybe looking longingly
at a sunset, or I don't know, whatever waves crashing
on the show, or I can think of a number
of examples and keep the faith beholding a beautiful flower
in the morning light, exactly with his pithy quotes, his
pithy bits of.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Wisdom, staring at a puppy.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Like, but I'm not afraid exactly now I see him
like holding up a baby and looking at the baby
and its innocence.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
And then some pithy James Komy quote, we will not
live on our knees. That's a good one, right there.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yes, so unless we have our shins shot off, and
unfortunately we will live on our knees.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Hey, that is a very obscure reference to the King
of the Hill. Or remember how old cotton and niece
shut off by the Japanese in World War Two? Right,
the Korea is shins shot off those by the Koreans
in the Korean War.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Oh right, right, right, Sorry, I had the wrong conflict.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Uh So, chat GPS Chat GPT just made an announcement
they're rolling out new parental controls, which, if they work,
like most parental controls out there, you click on a
button and say, yeah, I'm eighteen. Okay, it's a good
parental control. But anyway, the new chat about you know
(07:17):
what I think has happened. I think I think my
tongue has said I've had enough of this. I don't
want to talk about any of this stuff anymore, so
I refused to cooperate.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Your tongue has retired before the rest of the assassinating.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
The new Chat bought accounts for minors will limit answers
related to graphic content, romantic and sexual role play.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So you're gonna You're not gonna allow a sixteen year
old to have a sexy conversation with a computer.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
We live in weird times. Viral challenges, no viral.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Challenges on chat GPT, and no extreme beauty ideals.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Know what that means? Familiar with that?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, it's those those trends you see
every so often about how they're convincing adolescent girls usually
and the boys too, that their thighs have to look
like this, or their stomach has to be this flat,
or the ratio for their hips the stomach should do
whatever the hell.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Hey hmm, okay, well, at least she's trying.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
So the modern world is going to kill me, but
at least the people I love know what my wishes are.
I just got done my sweet wife and I with
his process of getting an estate plan together. Here for
a trust and will A ANDNG with the here's the word,
get security and peace of mind by making a state
an estate plan. Now you can create and manage a
customer of state plan starting just one hundred and ninety
(08:47):
nine dollars. A trust is a little more. What's the difference?
What do I need? They are fabulous at helping you
understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think you shouldn't do this. And then when dad
passes on or mom or whatever, and he got a
bunch of stuff you gotta figure out you let the
government get involved, Let let your county, state and federal
government get involved, and splitting it up among the kids.
I think that's a better way to do it, and
make sure everybody hates each other at the end of
the process and the government keeps half of it. But yes,
if you don't want to do it that way, you
can go with this trust and will live customer support
(09:16):
through chat, phone or email. Have all your important documents
in one place, bank level encryption.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Secure your assets, protect your loved ones with trust and
will get twenty percent off on your estate planned documents
by visiting trustinwill dot com slash armstrong. That's trustinwill dot
com slash armstrong. Do this today, at least look into it.
Trust in will dot com slash Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So you got the protesters are out in Portland against
the idea of Trump sending the National Guard into Portland
to try to quell unrest, which they say, there.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Is no unrest. I don't I don't actually know answer
that question.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
They've certainly because there is no unrest, you send troops,
we will create some unrest to prove that the troops
shouldn't be there.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Got it. Excellent point.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
There's a week to two that story, among other things
on the way stay.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Here, marstrow Heyetty.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
The US team staged a furious rallied after falling behind
at the Ryder Cup of New York's Long Island, but
in the end, the European team held on to retain
one of golf's most prestigious titles Ireland. Shaye Lowerries. Thank
the putt that want it all for the Europeans. The
US will get another crack at the trophy in two years.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
In which the mainstream media takes one of the most
amazing things I've ever seen in sports and reduces it
to seventeen seconds of oh well we lost.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Right, we did indeed?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Okay, and what was one of the most interesting bottom
line so there are three sessions three days.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
There are actually five sessions, but three days. Day one
the US got whooped humiliated. Day two the US got
whooped humiliated.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Day three.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Twelve individual matches nobody has ever come back from I
think four and a half points and we are seven
points down. We had to win all the matches, but
one completely impossible. It was like a baseball team being
down by fifteen runs. After eight we lost by one run.
It was one of the most miraculous comebacks I've ever
(11:22):
seen in sports. It was it was edge of your seat,
jumping up and down. Are you blanking kidding me? Astonishing
comeback that fell?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
That sure, just that much. So I don't know, it's
super exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So I don't know much about the golf, but I
was flipping on the cable news this morning and I
heard people talking about the really unsportsmanlike conduct that was
occurring among a lot of the fans. What is the
story on that, like, really really over the top.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, a bunch of things at work there. Number one,
you're in New York, so start there. Number Two, America
was getting its ass whooped, and everybody was in a
bit of an ugly mood and some of the higher
profile players for Europe are fairly feisty, and so the
feisty fans of New York. And you know, if it's
(12:14):
one out of a thousand who screaming really bad stuff
or it really inopportune moments, because golf is one of
a few sports where you're expected to shut the hell
up as a fan during you know, the key moments,
like in tennis, for instance, it doesn't take a lot
of people being you know, bad humans to make the
(12:35):
crowd look really bad.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
But there was a lot of it.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, we've talked about this many times.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Just the interesting idea that in sports like tomorrow night
you got Red Sox Yankees, a Major League Baseball playoffs start,
you could end up with a pitcher batter situation that
makes all the difference in the game very difficult to hit.
A baseball crowd scream at a decimal that is not
(13:01):
healthy as opposed to silent. Yes, different sports have a
different way of doing it.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Well yeah, yeah, But the funny thing is if you
are in a sport where everything's expected to be loud,
no individual yelling anything matters, you can't hear them, you
can't pick it out.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
It's a cacophony, right right, exactly, so golf.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Either, you know, and we've got some quotes here that
are pretty interesting, But do you know what were people saying?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I heard it was really really awful, but I haven't
heard he may say what like they insulting in their
wives or there. Oh everything you can imagine, really everything, man, Yeah, yeah,
personal insults, wow, obscenity.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Just anything you can imagine.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah, here's the great Rory McElroy's a cute little irishman.
He hits the ball about a mile and a half.
Give me fifteen, Michael.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
I think golf should be held a higher standard than
what was. You know, then, what was saying right there
this week? Golf high is the ability to unite people.
Golf teaches you very good life lessons. It teaches you etiquette,
It teaches you how to play by the rules. It
teaches you how to respect people. And you know sometimes
(14:14):
this week we didn't see that.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Your wife's a whore? Shut up your little iris.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, it took me lucky charms.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Oh, now a racial epithet more or less, you know,
I kind of like this one.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Give me eighteen, Michael.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
With all that in mind, everything you go through.
Speaker 11 (14:32):
How satisfying is it to turn around to someone and say, quote,
shut the effort, and then stiff it to two feet.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Very satisfying.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
Congratulations, It wasn't stiff.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
It wasn't stiff.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I had to put it, you know. It's just it's
a reflection of the world we live in.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It definitely is, of course, as we just keep getting
courser and courser, and the last remnants of places where
you don't have courseness, it's starting to creep in. Weddings
and funerals are next. I so, wow, wow, that.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Is going to change. I will tell you this.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
When people would shout something awful or at an awful
moment that's very unsportsmanlike, uh, you would hear large portions
of the crowd booth them and express their disapproval of it.
And it wasn't just the other team's fans, It was
like all the fans. So it was a minority. But
has anybody who's observed any even a classroom or a wedding,
(15:43):
or any gathering of human beings, It doesn't take a
majority to ruin it, of course not. It just takes
a few people of social compact is a fairly fragile thing.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, dang it, everything goes in that direction. Oh and
one more golf thing. As I am not a golfer,
but I saw a Wall Street Journal story we need
to do away with the gimme putt? Did you read that? No,
would you have any idea what they were talking about?
Off the top of your head, Well, it's time to end,
(16:14):
like time to end the gimme putt. That's when it's
like it's so close you just say, eh, pick it up.
I'm sure in the context of the Ryder Cup or
just in general, just in general, just regular golf.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I have no freaking idea.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, I didn't click on it because I don't play golf,
but I just thought it was kind.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Of a funny thing.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
So Trump is sitting down with net and Yahoo. They
are going to have a press conference today. Trump claimed
on Friday and all weekend long that he has got
a way to solve the whole Palestinian gazam hostage mess,
which is pretty thorny and violent, as you know. And
he says he's got a way to solve it. So
we're gonna hear about that at some point today. The
(16:53):
return of the hostage hostages not sausages, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Breakfast meat or a humans being detained by monsters the
second one, the second one.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Now I'm good. Now, I'm good.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Okay, plus the whole soft on crime apparatus. This is
a carefully organized, well financed group of human beings who
have dedicated their lives to these bizarro practices that are
miserable failures. But they will continue succeeding until we recognize
who they are and what they're doing.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
So we'll talk more about that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Uh, fantastic. When does Comy's trial thing start? Do we
have any idea when that actually happens? Oh, that's gonna
be not sure. I'm not sure it'll ever come to trial.
You don't think it's either it'll get dismissed, yeah, or
it'll just peter out.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
The prosecutors in charge will just look at what they
have and the strength of the case and just to
hem and haw and shuffle their feet until everybody forgets
about it.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
But I'm not afraid, So let's have a trial.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
Man.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Oh God's sake, is pampus a crime? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We got all that stuff Joe mentioned, and any news
that breaks while we're on the air, and I think
there's gonna be plenty today. If you missed the segment
or an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on
demand Armstrong and Getty and the.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Basic problem we have.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
No, no, no, no, I want to set it up. I
want to set it up, Michael before we get to
Bill Maher if you recognize that voice.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Two things.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
One, I forgot to bring in my Trump pinata. Is
that my grocery store yesterday, my local grocery store, and
they're selling pinatas for some reason. This is a Mexican
grocery store.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Are you in Mexico? No?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Uh, it's my local mercado. Is that Spanish for market?
That's what it says on the sign. AnyWho, They have
piatas in there, all kinds of different pinatas, and they
had a Trump pagnanda. I thought I gotta have that.
We got to have that in the studio. So I
bought it and I'll bring it in and hang it
in the studio. It's pretty big, it's like four feet tall.
And then this idea of.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Being you beat an effigy of the President of the
United States until it breaks open.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And candy falls them. Yeah, I don't know if that Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I don't know if there's any politics behind that or not,
or if they just thought it would sell and that
was the only thing to it.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Confirming something JD.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Vance said earlier today, the US is considering granting Ukrainian
President Zelenski's request for Tomahawk cruise missiles and allowing Kiev
to strike deep into Russia. President Trump's envoy confirmed that
would be a big deal. Tomahawk missiles and you can
(19:36):
shoot deep into Russia. That's a different war than what
we've had for the last three years. And interesting that.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's Vance saying that, since he's been highly Ukraine skeptical
over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But it's been confirmed, so that ought to get Vlad's attention.
Different topic.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Bill maher.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Lifetime lefty progressive Democrat and proud of it and often
crazy in my opinion, thinks the Democratic parties ain't going
to win unless they change the road they're on. On
his show Friday Night, got a lot of attention, saying
things like this.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
The basic problem we have in America is conservatives think
the Liberals are insane, and they're not completely wrong. Now
I don't think most liberals are insane, but neither do
they make it clear they disapprove of the ones who are,
and their cowardice in not marginalizing their own crazies has
been their downfall. I couldn't get Neil de grasse Tyson,
(20:32):
a genius scientist and pre eminent scientific voice in the media,
to agree that it was ridiculous for scientific American and
the Atlantic to be claiming that separating sports by sex
doesn't make sense.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Yes, it does.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
Actually, it makes perfect sense, and it's obvious that.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
It does crowd collapse.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Though maybe they would clap for anything, he said, I
don't know, although we know from polling it's like an
eighty twenty ninety ten issue.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Right, Yeah, anyway, And it is exceptional and interesting that
a so called mainstream liberal would not say, yeah, no,
I'm not going to.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Say that the sports should be separated by sex. What
was he afraid option?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He doesn't believe it. There's not a chance he actually
believes it. Anyway, next clip there, Michael, And there's a.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Lot of stuff like that on the left, and when
conservatives see it, they say, I'm sorry, We're just not
going to go along with reinventing society, often pointlessly, even
if we have to cancel democracy to do it.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
That's what they're saying.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
They see gender is only a construct, and sex is
assigned at birth, and they say, we're not doing that.
Transing kids by self diagnosis with no age limit, no
parental notification, and no acknowledgment.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Of social contagion.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
Not doing it asylum now covers any reason for anyone
to come to America. Not doing it. Homelessness is a lifestyle.
Natural immunity doesn't count anymore. Whiteness is toxic penises in
women's prisons, welcoming the Intifada.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
We're not doing it.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
He's right, We're not.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
He is right, and that is white Trump what we
are not doing any of that. I like the one
dog darn it, and one of them really stood out
to me. Homelessness is a lifestyle, is a good way. Well,
we're not putting up with those. No, we aren't, and
that is why Democrats will lose forever, at which he
(22:37):
goes on to talk about here, I believe next.
Speaker 9 (22:39):
If we are ever going to get back to the
old America, that's got to be the Democrats part of
the bargain. Stop coming up with radically new and often
terrible ideas, And then then the next breath insists there'll
be no debate about any of it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
That if you don't see.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
It right away and go along, you're bad, stupid and deplorable,
as if he were saying, dug too plus two equals
five is not obvious. Yeah, it's obvious.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You can't add.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, trans and kids by self diagnosis with no age limit,
no printal notification, and no acknowledgment of social contagion. Exactly.
I really like that one. The not biling when to say, look,
this is a trend, this is a fad, this is
it's like, you know, horrifically, if you have in your
(23:33):
high school a kid commits suicide, it often catches on
and you have more than one.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I remember my high school.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You had a trend there for a while of getting
pregnant caught on. Yeah, the whole I'm a different gender. Look,
all the attention I'm getting is a contagion. Also, that's
the first time I've ever heard anybody other than like
a hardcore conservative say out loud it's a social contagion.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
And to ignore social contagion among teens, especially teen girls,
is too nor like the number one thing that happens
teens following trends. Does that ring a bell for anybody?
You know, That's what they do all the time, and
we kind of did too as kids, and that's just
what kids from.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Time immemorial do.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
And yet you weren't allowed to say that when you're
talking about the trans thing. You're right, it's obscene, it's disgusting,
and it's a denial of what is plainly true.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I get like Republicans are afraid to contradict Trump or
go up against Trump because they need the Trump wing
of the party to get elected.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
It's got to be a.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Really uncomfortable thing for mainstream lefties to be so terrified
of the radical neo Marxist crowd that you can't even
call out mutilating children who are just following a social
contagion of transgenderism.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
That's a bad position.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
I suggest you dig deep and find some courage, friends,
because you're con owning some really, really sick stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I wanted to read this part so mar mocked democrats
smug self righteousness in defending some of the dumbest ideas
to ever come down the pike, and he had examples
of math is racist, queers for Palestine, looting is cool?
Healthy at any weight? If the men's football team played
the women's team, it would be a tie.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Those are things.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
We have heard in the last several years, right the
whole healthy at any weight. Do not acknowledge that that
being three hundred pounds is anything that you should take.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
A look at, just not yeah, yeah, is it over?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
That's the question.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
The craziness.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
It hasn't peaked at least.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I absolutely think so. I think we're on the downhill
side of that. That whatever that was, I think we're
on the downhill side of it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
But can the sane mainstream clean out the pockets of
hardcore insanity?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Though?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Like education, which is what I'm always thinking about, is
the is the lack of the fervor for that madness
among you know, the mainstream going to be enough to
root it out of where it's really really entrenched. I
don't see that unless there's a concerted effort and you
(26:19):
know a whole lot of screaming and yelling and throwing
up of hands and demonstrations. Because the colleges, man, that's
going to be a hard fight. One more comment from
Bill Maher before we move on.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Smug self righteousness in the defense of some of the
dumbest ideas to ever come down the pike is not
a formula that's really working for you. Because here's one
thing I can promise every liberal in this country. The
Democrats can win every election from now until forever, and
the people who now hold the reins of power will
(26:49):
not give it back if they think you're still nutty.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know if I agree with that, but the
opposite is certainly true. Democrats will lose every election from
now until forever if you don't abandon like shun I
mean vocally shun the crazies in your party right right.
And that's going to be a rip in the band
aid off moment, no doubt. It's gonna sting, and you're
gonna go out. But I feel like somebody that we've
(27:17):
never heard of is going to run for president as
a Democrat and say and just ignore those people. No, no, no, no,
there's two genders. No no no no, no girls, boy
sports no no no. We got to do something about
the homeless thing.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Now. No, math isn't racist, that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's just going to say that and really bring a
big chunk of people over to their side.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
It might be somebody we've never heard of, or it
might be recent tourists to beautiful Iowa. Ram Emmanuel could
be who's making the rounds at all the big events,
could be he would say.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
That sort of thing. He absolutely would. Yeah, all right,
I know you had something good.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Yeah, the uh let him out of prison? Industrial complex?
How it works, who's financing it? The maniac who murdered
that poor Ukrainian girl is in Charlotte. It's absolutely clear
what's going on and how that works.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I hate that.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I hate that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
All right, bunch of other stuff on the way to
stay here. Perhaps now I'm gonna go ahead and name
it not. Perhaps it is the single dumbest front page,
top of the fold USA Today headline they've ever had.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I can't. Oh, that's a.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Leap, you know, And I'm kind of feeling them. They
might be where we are. They're just like so much
mayhem in the world. You're like, I don't even know
if I can talk about it anymore. Their big front
page story today USA Today is the semi colon dying
opinion split on relevance. We needed a moment of mirth,
(28:47):
and there it is, and they take it completely seriously.
Is the semi colon dying opinion split onrelevance? Is their
big front page mini page story. Got to admit, I
don't know exactly how to use a semiaelon. I'm not
sure I ever did. I certainly don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I used to, but yes, it's grown fuzzy in my head.
Absolutely Anyway, Roy Cooper was the former governor of North Carolina.
I got a reputation as kind of a moderate lefty,
a normal lefty. But he's running for the open Senate
(29:25):
seat next year in that fine state. And he says
one of his major accomplishments as the state's governor was
the creation of a racial equity task force that pushed
to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes, the result of which,
among many many other things, was career criminal, crazy person
anonymous scumbag who senselessly murdered that poor Ukrainian refugee gal
(29:50):
on the Charlotte subway train.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
God, that's one of the worst things ever.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
And it is interesting on a couple of different levels
that he is touting this partly because the left side
of the Democratic Party. The far left, including a lot
of black folks, is still really down with these philosophies,
given how the rest.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Of America feels about them.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
It's striking to me that again, this is like an
important part of his resume, what he's offering to voters.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Well, this thinking which is very you know, socialism, communism.
Mom Dommy said the other day he proposed on a
radio show, proposed higher tax rates for white neighborhoods. Yeah,
basing tax rates on the color of the people in
your neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
So the Free vecn goes through Cooper's history with the
Task Force for Racial Equity and Criminal Justice. But the
part that I wanted to get into, at least a
little bit, is that that there are a couple of
a big, really well financed not for profits that are
(31:02):
pushing this stuff all over America. And the Free Beacon
reported that Mecklenburg County, which is where Charlotte is, actually
thanked one of those groups, the MacArthur Foundation, in twenty
twenty in a press release for helping fund its efforts
to reduce its jail population through reforming bail policy and
(31:22):
equity programs. And it was interesting to see the MacArthur
Foundation mentioned because I'd read elsewhere that that is one
of several nonprofits or NGOs that are spending zillions of
dollars to push this stuff. This is their charity. And
here's a great example for you. Andrew Kerr, writing in
(31:42):
The Free Beacon, a consulting firm funded by left wing
billionaires has embedded itself in the offices of forty progressive
prosecutors in America, where it has quietly helped to craft
soft on crime policies that now affect forty eight million
Americans across twenty two states. They are known as the
Wren Collective WRN, like the Bird, The Ren Collective is
(32:06):
a firm that provides its services to prosecutors for free
and with no expectation of publicity.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
In fact, they don't want it.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
According to a new report from the Law Enforcement Legal
Defense Fund, they are an incredibly well financed think tank
corporation that whenever a Democrat prosecutor gets elected, they call
you up and say, hey, we've got this system for
bail reform.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
It's plug and play.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Let us drop by and give you all the information
you need, the how to's, and you can get this
going and the progressive prosecutors all say yes, thank.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
You very much.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
The ren Collective is bankrolled by several left wing billionaires,
Texas billionaire John Arnold, who invested more than forty six
million dollars into progressive criminal justice reform since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Now do you think that like him and these people
are all Marxists. It's just to you know, flood the
zone with s and have the whole system collapsed because
we don't like in capitalism in Western demoxracies. Because if
they don't believe that that's actually an easier sell to me,
then you trying to explain to me how you think
(33:20):
this is going to make society better, like even things out.
How could you possibly believe that leaving a black, proven
to be violent person on the street helps.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Anything, right, Yeah, I know it seems crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
You know. The thing about dedicated Marxists is that they
frame their argument in moral terms because they know not
everybody's going to believe their program. But if they can
convince everybody that to do X is racist, even though
doing X has nothing to do with racism whatsoever, and
the people doing X or just normal people going about
(33:59):
their lives. But as James Lindsay put it so beautifully
and simply. The critical race theory deal and the neo
Marxism is call something racist until you control it. And
a lot of people fall for the moral argument. They
don't realize where it's coming from. And they sit there
(34:19):
being lectured by Robin DiAngelo about white fragility or something,
and they're so desperate to be a good person as
they say, Okay, okay, yes we should empty the prisons
because that's a legacy of what's the term chattel slavery, right, right,
and we have systemic racism, so yes, we should empty
the prisons.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
And they fall for these arguments.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
By even if you believe the idea that there are
thousands and thousands of black men in prison for simply
possessing a joint like that old story, right, how does
that justify leaving some guy who's a violent lunatic on
the street.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I know, but that's you're trying to make a logical
argument against a cultish belief, an emotional belief, and that's
it's hard to argue logic to somebody who's just swept
up in this emotional idea, this group, the rent collected,
I'm talking about and it sounds like something out of
a spy novel, but you can. You can follow the
money and follow the paperwork, and these people are active activists.
(35:23):
The group has worked with some of the most left
wing prosecutors in the country, including former San Francisco da Ceso,
Bodine Burlington, Vermont State's attorney Sarah George Monica, I'm sorry,
Monique Warel, the state attorney in Florida.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Blah blah blah blah bah.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
And what they do is again furnished plug and play
far left prosecute policies for all these prosecutors' offices. And
they do it very very quietly. Oh you know what,
I didn't get to this story, the final story here.
I'll just give you the headline anti Israel. Microsoft employees
arrested for storming the president's office have partnered with a
(36:03):
bail fund led by a murderer who bashed a man's
skull with a hammer. And all of those violent demonstrators
got arrested or getting bailed out by these radical left groups.
So there's no repercussion for breaking the law.
