Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty enough He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Americans bracing for a government shut down, the deadline booming.
The top four congressional leaders set to meet with President
Trump at the White House, a lastedch effort to make
a deal.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's right, the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Mount rush Bar will be sand and smooth. Matt McKinley leveled.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The Lincoln Memorial turned into peckleball cards.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Why would they?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Why would they sand smooth Mount Rushmore because of a
government shutdown?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Kay, we can't have nice things. It's shut it down.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I watch the Sunday talk shows, or at least portions
of them, every Sunday. Many all they led with the
government shut down. Save me a lot of time. I'm
not watching that crap. Nobody cares about that. But people
who live or work who live in DC or work
in the government, nobody else cares. I've never heard one
human being, and all these government shut down things that
have happened in our career, I've never heard one human
(01:21):
being in real life ever.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Bring it up to me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The only time I've heard people actually plugged in is
military families hoping they'll get their rent whatever, or Ulster's
afraid of Social Security. But so much of the actual
angst that exists, and there's much much less than the
media would have you believe. But some of it that
actually exists is just because it's been whipped up by
(01:44):
the media. Anyway, that's enough of that garment, no kidding.
So one of the departments of the government that people
do exactly what.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It cost a lot of money to sand down Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Well you can't have if your government is shut down.
You can't have nash Monuments. Everybody knows that Ojave desert
filled with water, etc. Grand Canyon cement filled with cement.
Is that what you want away? Anyway? God, just the
whole You need the government, The federal government is the
(02:18):
most important thing in the world.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
You need it. You need it.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Oh, it makes me want to vomit anyway, you don't
want to hear me vomit, So let's move along. The
Department of Defense is the department people actually do care about, and.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
With convince, Department of War.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Right, I get confused because various media outlets are still
calling it the old time name, which is the legal name.
It's like the Gulf of America. Anyway, God, the modern
world tires me out. President Trump is going to join
that unusual gathering of US military commanders convening tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We told you about that last week.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
All the eight hundred or so generals and admirals is
well as senior and listed folks, were ordered on short
notice to convene at Quantico, Virginia for the event. Unprecedented
in recent decades. This has not happened in many, many
moons or at all, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
But anyway, Trump.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Was talking to NBC News over the weekend and said,
it's really just a very nice meeting, talking about how
well we're doing militarily, talking about being in great shape,
talking about a lot of good positive things. We have
some great people coming in, and it's just in a
spree decor, you know, the expression of spree de corps.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's all it's about.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Further Hegseth is expected to address the senior officers and
enlisted leaders enlisted leaders on his calls to cultivate a
warrior ethos in the armed services and the other priorities
of the Pentagon's current leadership. You've got various folks complaining
it'll be expensive, they should be able to get on
a zoom call or something.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, But so is Pete feeling that there's not a
warrior ethos in the military.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Is that what he's trying to say.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, he made it very very clear during the election
and transition that he thought not enough the military had
become a woke jobs program as opposed to an organization warriors.
So I suspect this is just another step in the transition.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I just I wonder if it's just not a signal
to China, for instance, that hey, we're we're we're staying
on top of things.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Probably, So I like it, Hey have ad it, because
there was absolutely no question that we had our military
had become a woke jobs program under the Democratic administration.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
So go get it. We'll see how it goes. Well.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That So that second story on sixty minutes last night,
if you happened to see it, in the short version
of what happened there is over the last several years,
Russia has been cutting cables undersea cables that various NATO
members need for communit cas energy, all that sort of stuff,
(05:02):
and the most recent example being this big giant oil
tanker that sixty minutes, with seven months of investigation, was
able to trace back to Russia dropped its anchor. This
big giant tanker ship dropped its anchor to the ocean
floor and drug its anchor for sixty plus miles, cutting
(05:23):
all kinds of important cables of communication and energy between
Finland and Estonia, particularly in that sea there right by Russia.
Russia's on the other side of it, and obviously deliberately
doing it Finland, so as it's going on, they catch
out when it's going and it was heading toward an
even more important cable.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
They knew what was happening.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
They landed, like their version of Seal Team six on
the ship and took over the ship, which is really
quite the dramatic thing. Wow, and I I am the captain.
Now let's have a sauna. Yeah, and stopped it from
going any farther and causing any more damage. And there
were many many layers of distance between the people running
(06:10):
the ship and then the people owning the ship, and
then the people financing the ship. And they had to
go much investigation to go back back back to get
to where it was Russia, but it's clearly Russia.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
The captain of the ship and the crew claiming we had no.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Idea our anchor was down, which all other people that
the interview says, nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
There's no way you.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Don't know you're dragging your anchor across the ocean floor.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But she didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, Between Russia dragging anchors around the sea to cut
cables and getting away with it, and China bumping into
ships in the Philippines and doing their stuff, man, it
is an unsettled sea out there, which.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Brings us to the previous story we were talking about.
And one more.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I think Trump and Hexath both believe that the Department
of Defense needs to understand it is a Department of
war and that the prospect for armed conflict is not imaginary.
It's not, you know, just to taking classes on World
War Two. It's something that could be happening in front
(07:14):
of us very very soon. To that end, the Pentagon
alarmed at the low weapons stockpiles that we would have
on hand for any potential future conflict with China is
urging its missile suppliers to double or even quadruple production
rates on a break next schedule. So there have been
a series of high level meetings between Pentagon leaders and
(07:37):
senior reps from our most prominent missile makers in which
it has been made infinitely clear to them you need
to gear up fast and we will buy everything you
can make. So get on it, man, Serious times are coming, man, Michael,
(07:57):
how long would you guess it takes to assent an
individual missile A typical missile used by the United States.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
The production time, production time and a half. No, I'm
going to say about I'll say a year. It's two years.
It takes a long damn time.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Well, because they're I mean, they're incredibly sophisticated machines.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Wow, so we shoot off those missiles, it takes two
years to replace.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
One, right, which is why, as we're discussing last week,
those I can't remember, the Shahi edrones that Iran is
cranking out are in such demand because they're big and
nasty enough. They can provoke a country the US, Israel, Europe,
Ukraine whatever.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
To use.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Squander waste all of their anti aircraft missiles. Right, and
they know our production schedules how better than we do.
That's changed in ping makes that his business. So yeah,
that's the game they're playing, drain US or Russia Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Obviously, Russia attacked Kiev with a relentless flory of drones
and rockets over the weekend, almost entirely civilian targets.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Which nobody seems to pay any attention to.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But with the same theory, I guess that eventually the
defense system will run out of all the technology before
you can rebuild it, because it takes, as you just said,
longer than we thought.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Right, Right, do we have the budget? Don't have a choice,
all right, But the money's got to be switched around
in our system somehow or other, because analysts say that
hitting the Pentagon's aggressive targets would cost tens of billions
of dollars, and the Big Beautiful Bill pro had an
additional twenty five billion in five year munitions funding.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
But the actual need is much higher than that.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
A word from our friends at Trust and Will, you
know you need to do this get security and peace
of mind by making it a state plan. Now do
you need a trust or a will? What's the difference?
They will coach you through all of that. They make
it easy and affordable. Now you've heard it's really expensive, right, well,
you can create and manage your customer state plan starting
at one hundred and ninety nine bucks. A trust is
a little more, but again they'll help you understand which
(10:13):
is which and why you need whatever you need.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh man, this is going to bring you such peace
of mind and then have you set up for the future.
And it's just a good idea all the way around.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Have all your.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Important documents in one place, bank level encryption with the
live customer support through chat, phone or email.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
This step by step process is going to guide you
through the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yep, secure your assets, protect your loved ones with trust
and will. You know you need to do this, And
it feels so good when it's done, Judy and I
just got done.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Trust me, it's a good feeling.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Get twenty percent off on your estate plan documents by
visiting trustinwill dot com slash armstrong. That's trustinwill dot com
slash armstrong, or doom your family to tearing themselves apart
after you're gone because you didn't do it trust andwill
dot com slash armstrong. That was guilt at the end.
That was an overt appeal to a guilty conscient and
it was over the top, and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
The schools across the country are trying to deal with
the six seven phenomenon, which I had never heard of.
And if you bring it up to your teenager, they
are going to laugh at you, guaranteed. But I had
never heard of it at all. So we'll bring you
up to speed on that. It's one of those things
that young people know about but older people.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Don't know about. We'll get to that next segment.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And one more story about the military, and in this
case Russia.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do you remember back when old old man Progosian and
his boys or such a force. What was the name
of his organization? I can't even remember though, the Wagner
Group or Wagner Group.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I'm sorry. I studied German for years.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I can't bring myself to pronounce it Wagner.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But the Wagner Group was a huge military force in Africa,
and a lot of African countries said, look, military is
a little weak. We're not sure we can trust our
generals come in and help us. Which and so Russia
had spread its umbrella of influence and all over some
critical parts of Africa.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The Kremlin's efforts to keep the Wagner Group going post progotions.
Unfortunate airline incident has been very, very unsuccessful, and so
all these countries are calling the US again saying, hey,
you remember how we used to be friends and you
would help us against our Islamist Islamist lunatics.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Are you guys still available?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So our influence is filling that vacuum again apparently, which
is probably a good thing as Russia continues to deplete
its you know, its forces, its weaponry, and its influence.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A couple of mass shootings over the weekend that we
might want to touch on, it's just is there anything
to say about any of these that does anybody any good?
Is the question, I guess, but might.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Take you away later.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
In getting ready to start the show, I always do
the same thing, which is go through everything I had
prepared over the last couple of days and decide which
of it would still be great. And some of it
is kind of out of dat or it's been replaced
by more urgent stuff. And I found myself saying, oh,
that was two rounds of horror ago, We're not talking
(13:16):
about that anymore. So, though it is relevant and important, Well,
just now I'll get rid of that because we have
so much new horror to talk about.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It's not pleasant.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Teachers and their clever ways to deal with the six
seven phenomenon. It's actually kind of funny among all the things.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
All the way stay here.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Young people have always had their slang or whatever right
that the older crowd doesn't know, and it's.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
How you separate yourself. As you know.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh, I had a funny experience with my high schooler
and his buddy. We picked up at his house and
we're driving back and listening to them talk in the
backseat of my truck. Wow, they could have been from
Kruzikstan and speaking in their language. I would have had
as much luck of understanding what the hell they were
talking about various terms they are using. So I read
(14:06):
this article about six seven last night. Uh, and my
son is out, so I text him. I said, do
you or any of your friends say six seven? He said,
there's no way. You're just becoming aware of this. I thought, well,
I just did, what does six seven mean? The new
(14:27):
brain rot slang kids are saying according to this article,
and of course six seven it's not well, that's part
of it. Well that's it, yeah, right there, from that song,
it's not new According to my son, you're just now
learning about this. A new viral trend has taken social
media by storm, and it's creeping into classrooms across the country.
It's called the six seven trend. While the name suggests numbers,
(14:52):
there's no math involved. Decoding what it actually means is
very tricky. It comes from this song can you Hit
That again? Six sat of it by Scrilla called Dute doote,
and it features a recurring lyric sixty seven over and
over against sixty seven sixty seven six seven six sat
In the song doote doute you say six to seven,
(15:13):
and it's become a popular sound to select when your
post videos on.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
TikTok or Instagram.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It also has an association with LaMelo Ball, a basketball
player who's six seven. Somehows factored into this I don't
quite understand, but anyway, it's becoming grained in generation alpha language.
Is that what we're supposed to call young people now?
Because we went through Z and we're back to A.
It's as common as lol and yolo were to millennials
(15:40):
back in the day. Here's my favorite part, though, what
does it mean? That's still up in the air? It
can be used as a casual descriptor to say something
is so, so, refer to someone as tall, or simply
as a joke without a punchline. Basically, it means nothing,
which annoys parents and teachers since kids are constantly saying it,
(16:00):
writing it, singing it.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Six sat of it.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
One of your big dictionaries had their list of new
words came out a few weeks ago, and one of
them was skivity. And what struck me was their standards
included terms that are likely to endure in the language
for many years to come, and I thought, that's not
going endoor till Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Some schools are trying to ban it because it's become
so disruptive.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Others are embracing it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And they had a teacher here who counts up to
five and then waits for the the kids to all
say six, seven, and then they all laugh to make
it feel like, you know, I'm one of you. She's
found a way, this teacher to incorporate it into teaching methods.
We're reading from page six and seven today and then
everyone laughs. Six Sava or writing challenges. You have a
(16:49):
writing challenge in English in which you are allowed six
to seven minutes to write what you're gonna write, or
you do it in sixty seven words.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Let the uh, let the record reflect that it was
at this moment that I gave up me too.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Michael and I have given up together?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Are you even as someone in your early thirties too
old for six seven?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I have no idea what there at least from when
I was younger. Or slang meant something and I had
like a definition.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yeah, well, and like I said, I asked my son
about it. He's like, you're just now learning about it.
So the new slang is old and tired for whatever.
Just let you know I'm old and tired.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I hear you the fact.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That English teachers are saying, we're gonna have an essay
writing assignment and you have six to seven minutes to
write it. To try too, I guess, sir.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
We need military academies all over this country, every state,
every town.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
We need school uniforms. We need short hair, we need
skirts below the knee, we need all of it. Bring
back the paddle, yes, all of it. The moment has arrived.
Clapping erasers. Everything needs to come back, something needs to
be done.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I willed delive.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Where did it go?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Armstrong? And Getty.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
This is yet another message of it's not us in them,
it's us. It's a country, it's a people, and when
these things happen, instead of the divide, this is the
time to unite.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
That is a sheriff in Michigan talking about how we've
got to do something about all this violence in the
wake of I don't know, pick your favorite bit of
horror of the last week and a half, two a month.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, I didn't know where you were going to say there,
if it was somebody in North Carolina, from the guy
that shot up that bar, whatever.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So on the political violence stuff, it's easier because you
can talk about the rhetoric and how we're all Americans
and this is only going to get worse if we
don't blah blah blah on just the random I'm just
mad at this church, bar school, whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I don't know that life.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, we have in my mind two distinct things happening.
Number One, there is political violence that is the culmination
of a maybe stupid and crazy, but thought out formation
of a political philosophy. You got your Antifa violence, for instance.
They know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
(19:37):
They all talk about it all the time. They are
a group. You have various groups on campus. You got
the up with hamas people committing various acts of violence.
You have some folks on the right who are loonies,
they have their militia in the woods whatever. Once in
a great while they committed an act of violence. That
is one thing. Then the other thing is and we've
(19:57):
got to recognize this in the half with jackass in
the mainstream media never will because they have neither the
capacity nor the desire to understand anything, and they suck
at their jobs and I hate them.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Anyway, Ah, the other thing that we have going is
the I'm angry, I'm probably suicidal. I think other people
should be hurt, And sometimes those people grasp onto an ideology,
like in the last four months before they commit their
glorified suicide.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, that's why most of these are glorified suicides.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And the way they get attention for their suicide is
to take a few or a bunch of people with them.
That is a different thing, and we need to recognize
that as a society, I think. But as far as
going over the details of the latest horrors and the
suspected motivations and blah blah, I just don't have it
in me.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Well, and there's the well, not only that, is it
depressing and I don't have it in me.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
There's just no there's no point. There's just no point
in it.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So the Governor of Utah was the lead story on
the season premiere sixty Minutes last night. You know that
got so much attention after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in
his state, and he was again on sixty minutes last
night going on about social media and the evils of
it and how it's making us all insane and crazy.
Do you think that plays a role at all in
(21:22):
the glorified suicide stuff? I wonder if it does, just
because it makes the world seem worse than it is. Well,
and I think it is just.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I think the culture of this has got to be
posted online to validate the experience online is what life?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Is?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
That a lot of the because you point out to
be pleased the next time one of these shooters turns
out to be an outgoing person who is involved in
several civics organizations.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And not he spent all his time online. He smoked
a lot of potty, played.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
A lot of video games, so their worldview is it's
got to be big and be posted online to matter.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
And I was listening to Governor what's his name? What's
the governor? You toaw his name Cox?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I can't remember his name. For whatever, I was listening
to Governor Cox last night. Talked about the social media
thing and the algorithms and how it dominates our lives
and how many hours a day people spend on it
and that sort of stuff, and I was just thinking,
is there a solution to this? I'm not sure there is.
Just he's right about all that. I think he's one
(22:34):
hundred percent right about the damage it's doing and how
it's crazy, it's making us and depressed and it seems
like there's nothing good in the world. And uh, but
I don't know if there's anything that can be done
about that. Spreading awareness of what you just said through
what Facebook exactly? You got to post it online, post
(22:54):
it on TikTok, have a TikTok dance about this is
bad for you.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I'm with the cat.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The newest trend is to reject all trends.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, oh, I'm not optimistic about that. Okay, So that's that.
Here's a different story.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They got a lot of attention in the last twenty
four hours.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
You always go ahead, you always say that, and you're right.
But that is the solution. It is clearly the solution.
Anybody's looked at it knows.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
It's this same. Well, yeah, but it's never going to happen.
That's why I dismiss it. It is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
You think people are going to turn away from from
the internet. I think that people who turn away from
the Internet are going to turn away from the Internet.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Maybe it's going to be a small percentage of.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
People and will be very happy. Well, okay, you're talking
about individuals. I'm talking about society. I'm wanting society to
get better. I'm wanting all these shootings to stop, for instance.
That's not going to stop. True, Okay, well then reagree
on that.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Well, well, it's yeah, I know, it's it's it's it's
an entirely rhetorical distinction. In the same way that a
corporate ration is people. As Mitt Romney tried to point
out too much mockery, society is a collection of individuals.
There is no fixing society quote unquote, there's only fixing individuals.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But that is doomed as well. Why would anyone listen
to this show? Can't imagine when you have many other
options out there. Listen to some happy music or somebody
talking about sports.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Or something like that. Anyway, here's a different news story
for you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Just five weeks before election day, the scandal scard Mayor
of New York City, Eric Adams is dropping out of
the race.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
So the big question is who gave him what? Both
both Republicans and Democrats. Trump offered him a job a
while back, and Adam said he didn't want to take it.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So, but they're all of people offering.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Him jobs spots on you know, a corporate board where
you're not gonna have to do anything, where you're gonna
get paid a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Just get out of the damn race.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
There's so many people left, right and center who don't
want the Communists to become mayor. Democrats don't want it
because it's gonna they're gonna have that hung around their
neck for however long he's mayor of New York?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Is you want this this party this guy.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Republicans don't want it because he's gonna bring policies that
are gonna be awful. So no nobody wants this guy.
So I just wonder what did Eric Adams get to
drop out? That's one story the IK immunity, Oh it
could be yeah. And then so you got the interesting
thing of one crook dropped out so that it's now
a different crook can run alone against the Communists.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
To see is gonna be mayor New York. What a situation.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But uh, the reason I wanted to bring this up
is Wall Street Journal had an article of why young
people are turning to socialisms? What socialism? What is the
moment that got them all interested in socialism? And according
to Wall Street Journal, the main moment for Momnami himself
and a lot of his friends and a lot of
people of that ilk today, it was the two thousand
(26:11):
and eight meltdown financial crisis.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
People that were.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Of the age that they were out and about and
new people who were losing their homes because the mortgage
rate jumped all all of a sudden, because you know,
you bought it at three percent and then it jumps
to whatever it was going to be after five years,
and people said they didn't know that or whatever but
that whole thing where the world crashed, that's what the
(26:40):
Tea Party grew out of. When we had the eight
hundred billion dollar bailout for these companies that had gone
around ripping people off, they got bailed out. That is
the ground zero for all the socialist communists out there
of what turned them the direction they got turned.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that so much of the crash was
set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market.
Barney Frank and Bill Clinton telling the banks, you got
to lend to anybody who Fogg's a mirror, otherwise we'll
bring you down. They said, all right, we'll go ahead,
and then they lent to people who had no business
having a mortgage and it all went kurb bluey, credit
(27:18):
to fault swaps, et cetera. But the young people reacted
to that with we need more crappy government policy. In fact,
we need the government in charge of everything. That's how
we'll prevent this. It's like we were saying last week,
socialism is one of the greatest, most clever scams ever
created by humankind. Because you can get young people to
fall for it over and over again.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It'll be interesting to see what the first polling is
with Eric Adams out and it's you know, well, some
of those people that were supporting him go to mom,
Dami de kami or will they all go over to
Andrew Cuomo the woman grabbing, old person killing, liar and crook.
So I love you And that was the short version
(28:03):
of Culomo's resume right there. Yeah, yeah, can we just
call him the villain Cuomo or something to summarize it.
And he's the great hope to stop the awfulness of
the communists.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Darling, I kissed a woman on the cheek.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Right, yeah, funny situation.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh, you know what, I'm desperate for something cheery and uh.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It's good to be right.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Six seven am I right? So you got that Kamala
Harris stuff. We got other stuff all the way. Stay here.
Speaker 8 (30:10):
In her new book, Kamala Harris said Gavin Newsom avoided
her call after Biden dropped out of the race. To
be fair, when she calls, it's usually at three am,
after she fails a breathalyzer.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Wow, gut Feld, and is Kamala is a drunk theme?
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Okay? Fair enough?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Ah So, if Guttfeld had written Kamala's book, I'm not
sure it would as thoroughly embarrass her as her own
book does.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Of course, I don't believe she wrote it.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
She just jabbered to some writer for a while and
he crafted it into a book. But or she But
it is the gift that keeps on giving. She has
explained finally why she did not ever appear on the
Joe Rogan Experience. Okay, that infamous incident. They were scheduled,
they were talking about doing it, and then she didn't
(31:05):
do it. And we said it was because she and
her people realized she can't.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
She's not smart enough.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
She's too you know, mushmouthed, well, there's just a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
They made the argument at the time that he wouldn't
agree to their terms, but they made their terms unagreeable
on purpose.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
So Harris recounts her side of the Rogan story in
a section of her new book. She writes that she
really wanted to do an interview with Rogan. Even his
campaign aids argued it was a bad idea that was
in the book, and they were right. When Rogan's team
asked Harris to come to Austin for the interview. However,
Harris was uncertain about, quote spending time in Texas so
(31:46):
close to the election, when every minute in a swing
state mattered.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
But then she traveled to Houston. You lost every single
swing state.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So but she traveled to Houston, which according to some experts,
is in Texas, for a quote big rally on reproductive
rights in late October, and Rogan said, hey, why don't
she come to Austin the next morning, Harris writes. They
said they could do it at eight thirty am, not later,
as Joe had commitments. I had commitments as well, and
(32:18):
it wasn't feasible to get from Houston to Austin. By
eight thirty am. By the way, there are multiple flights
every day. If you fly commercial in coach, it's an hour.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
She was flying on Air Force two and spent two
point six million dollars on private jets for campaign staffers,
including herself, the month of that rally, the month of
that rally, So the idea that she couldn't get to
Houston to Austin is absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
And then Harris's claims contradict Rogan's account of the saga.
Rogan said she had an opportunity to come here while
she was in Texas. I literally gave them an open invitation.
I said, anytime she's done at ten o'clock, I'll come
back here at ten o'clock. I'll do it at nine
in the morning, I'll do it at ten pm, I'll
do it at midnight. Whenever you guys say, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
And of course you would, because I mean, you can't
hardly get a bigger get than.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
That, right.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
But Kamalas in her book says, no, they told me
it was eight thirty am and only eight thirty am,
and it wasn't feasible to get from Houston.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
To Austin, so I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Well, she's the same person she was, you know when
those decisions were being made. She possibly thinks she's actually
going to run for president. I do not know, but yeah, yeah,
it's absolutely hilarious. It won't happen, but it's fun to
talk about.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
A Massachusetts is forcing foster parents to affirm trans children.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh my god, I fighting against that.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
So you do the whole foster parent thing, which is
a heck of a deal. It makes you a very
special person, assuming you're not a nut job. And then
the government forces you into this deal.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
And also next hour, I'd like to get in and
do how the whole soft on crime thing actually works.
It's a system of interlocking organizations and ideas, and we'll
trace it for you so you know who's doing what.
It's pretty interesting. I think.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yesterday I was at the my Son's Boy Scout physical
fitness thing. There's like twenty scouts there and they're all
doing push ups, doing sit ups, doing pull ups and
running and again it's like a six week thing here,
so you do it every couple of weeks. You time yourself,
you count the numbers of whatever you're doing, then you
try to practice in between and see if you can improve.
(34:35):
That's basically that's cool. Yeah, it's a good idea. And
then they talk about stuff you should eat, and you
know how the deal is.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I am fit.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I don't know if I'm more fit than the average
thirteen year old, but I'm more fit than most of
these thirteen year olds, for better or worse. But it's
amazing on how you can't look at a kid and
have any idea how many pull ups are gonna be
able to do. I'll tell you that because I was
in charge of the pull up bar with my board
and my pencil and everything like that, counting the pull ups.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, there's just no way you can. You see, you
can see a wiry kid and you think this kid's
gonna do ten. He does a half of one. And
then you see a different kid you think, I don't
know if he can do any cranks out eight.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's just it's the randomness of pull ups. Pull Ups
need to go away as a test of strength because
nobody understands why some people can do them some people.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Can't, right, And how often do you have to pull
yourself up in life, fat god, not that often ever,
but very seldom of I really needed to lean upon
that skill.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I haven't hop defense in many moons, so it's kind
of you know, you grab the top and you pullize
that same muscle group.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I suppose one very cute, uh like thirteen year old
girl decided she and she might have been eleven. She
decided to skip the entire one run, which is a
very eleven year old girl sort of thing to do.
Very cute, though, you gotta know your strength, she said,
as she sat down for a smoke.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
No, I'm kidding, not a smoke, certainly not.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I would like I would like to have compared the
group of thirteen year olds from yesterday, the scouts from
yesterday to I don't know, twenty years ago, forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I feel like we're getting weedier.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Oh no, no, of course I think we are.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
And it wasn't character that made me do physical stuff
all day long.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And this was my only option if I want to amuse.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Myself, it was either going to be a book or
playing physical games, riding a bike.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yeah, and you wouldn't have to go that many generations
back before your average thirteen year old was doing farm work, right.
Speaker 5 (36:35):
Which is a great deal of exercise.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
You don't do a lot of push ups, playing video
games or watching TikTok.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Well, famously still the guy with the hardest slap shot
ever recorded in hockey was Bobby Hull, whose training program
was I'm a farm boy, Yeah bailing.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Hey, Trump is meeting with net and Yahoo's sure to
be news coming out of that at some point during
the show today, and we'll have that for you. Trump
has just slapped a one hundred percent tariff on all
movies made outside the United States. Hundred percent tariff. What
is that gonna mean to you, the movie goer or watcher?
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Uh? Yeah, there's already a lot of opinions out that
and other stuff. Next hour, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty enough He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Americans bracing for a government shut down, the deadline booming.
The top four congressional leaders set to meet with President
Trump at the White House, a lastedch effort to make
a deal.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
That's right, the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Mount rush Bar will be sand and smooth. Matt McKinley leveled.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The Lincoln Memorial turned into peckleball cards.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Why would they?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Why would they sand smooth Mount Rushmore because of a
government shutdown?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Kay, we can't have nice things. It's shut it down.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I watch the Sunday talk shows, or at least portions
of them, every Sunday. Many all they led with the
government shut down. Save me a lot of time. I'm
not watching that crap. Nobody cares about that. But people
who live or work who live in DC or work
in the government, nobody else cares. I've never heard one
human being, and all these government shut down things that
have happened in our career, I've never heard one human
(01:21):
being in real life ever.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Bring it up to me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
The only time I've heard people actually plugged in is
military families hoping they'll get their rent whatever, or Ulster's
afraid of Social Security. But so much of the actual
angst that exists, and there's much much less than the
media would have you believe. But some of it that
actually exists is just because it's been whipped up by
(01:44):
the media. Anyway, that's enough of that garment, no kidding.
So one of the departments of the government that people
do exactly what.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It cost a lot of money to sand down Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Well you can't have if your government is shut down.
You can't have nash Monuments. Everybody knows that Ojave desert
filled with water, etc. Grand Canyon cement filled with cement.
Is that what you want away? Anyway? God, just the
whole You need the government, The federal government is the
(02:18):
most important thing in the world.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
You need it. You need it.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Oh, it makes me want to vomit anyway, you don't
want to hear me vomit, So let's move along. The
Department of Defense is the department people actually do care about, and.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
With convince, Department of War.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Right, I get confused because various media outlets are still
calling it the old time name, which is the legal name.
It's like the Gulf of America. Anyway, God, the modern
world tires me out. President Trump is going to join
that unusual gathering of US military commanders convening tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We told you about that last week.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
All the eight hundred or so generals and admirals is
well as senior and listed folks, were ordered on short
notice to convene at Quantico, Virginia for the event. Unprecedented
in recent decades. This has not happened in many, many
moons or at all, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
But anyway, Trump.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Was talking to NBC News over the weekend and said,
it's really just a very nice meeting, talking about how
well we're doing militarily, talking about being in great shape,
talking about a lot of good positive things. We have
some great people coming in, and it's just in a
spree decor, you know, the expression of spree de corps.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's all it's about.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Further Hegseth is expected to address the senior officers and
enlisted leaders enlisted leaders on his calls to cultivate a
warrior ethos in the armed services and the other priorities
of the Pentagon's current leadership. You've got various folks complaining
it'll be expensive, they should be able to get on
a zoom call or something.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, But so is Pete feeling that there's not a
warrior ethos in the military.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Is that what he's trying to say.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, he made it very very clear during the election
and transition that he thought not enough the military had
become a woke jobs program as opposed to an organization warriors.
So I suspect this is just another step in the transition.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I just I wonder if it's just not a signal
to China, for instance, that hey, we're we're we're staying
on top of things.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Probably, So I like it, Hey have ad it, because
there was absolutely no question that we had our military
had become a woke jobs program under the Democratic administration.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
So go get it. We'll see how it goes. Well.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That So that second story on sixty minutes last night,
if you happened to see it, in the short version
of what happened there is over the last several years,
Russia has been cutting cables undersea cables that various NATO
members need for communit cas energy, all that sort of stuff,
(05:02):
and the most recent example being this big giant oil
tanker that sixty minutes, with seven months of investigation, was
able to trace back to Russia dropped its anchor. This
big giant tanker ship dropped its anchor to the ocean
floor and drug its anchor for sixty plus miles, cutting
(05:23):
all kinds of important cables of communication and energy between
Finland and Estonia, particularly in that sea there right by Russia.
Russia's on the other side of it, and obviously deliberately
doing it Finland, so as it's going on, they catch
out when it's going and it was heading toward an
even more important cable.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
They knew what was happening.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
They landed, like their version of Seal Team six on
the ship and took over the ship, which is really
quite the dramatic thing. Wow, and I I am the captain.
Now let's have a sauna. Yeah, and stopped it from
going any farther and causing any more damage. And there
were many many layers of distance between the people running
(06:10):
the ship and then the people owning the ship, and
then the people financing the ship. And they had to
go much investigation to go back back back to get
to where it was Russia, but it's clearly Russia.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
The captain of the ship and the crew claiming we had no.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Idea our anchor was down, which all other people that
the interview says, nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
There's no way you.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Don't know you're dragging your anchor across the ocean floor.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But she didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, Between Russia dragging anchors around the sea to cut
cables and getting away with it, and China bumping into
ships in the Philippines and doing their stuff, man, it
is an unsettled sea out there, which.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Brings us to the previous story we were talking about.
And one more.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I think Trump and Hexath both believe that the Department
of Defense needs to understand it is a Department of
war and that the prospect for armed conflict is not imaginary.
It's not, you know, just to taking classes on World
War Two. It's something that could be happening in front
(07:14):
of us very very soon. To that end, the Pentagon
alarmed at the low weapons stockpiles that we would have
on hand for any potential future conflict with China is
urging its missile suppliers to double or even quadruple production
rates on a break next schedule. So there have been
a series of high level meetings between Pentagon leaders and
(07:37):
senior reps from our most prominent missile makers in which
it has been made infinitely clear to them you need
to gear up fast and we will buy everything you
can make. So get on it, man, Serious times are coming, man, Michael,
(07:57):
how long would you guess it takes to assent an
individual missile A typical missile used by the United States.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
The production time, production time and a half. No, I'm
going to say about I'll say a year. It's two years.
It takes a long damn time.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Well, because they're I mean, they're incredibly sophisticated machines.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Wow, so we shoot off those missiles, it takes two
years to replace.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
One, right, which is why, as we're discussing last week,
those I can't remember, the Shahi edrones that Iran is
cranking out are in such demand because they're big and
nasty enough. They can provoke a country the US, Israel, Europe,
Ukraine whatever.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
To use.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Squander waste all of their anti aircraft missiles. Right, and
they know our production schedules how better than we do.
That's changed in ping makes that his business. So yeah,
that's the game they're playing, drain US or Russia Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Obviously, Russia attacked Kiev with a relentless flory of drones
and rockets over the weekend, almost entirely civilian targets.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Which nobody seems to pay any attention to.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But with the same theory, I guess that eventually the
defense system will run out of all the technology before
you can rebuild it, because it takes, as you just said,
longer than we thought.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Right, Right, do we have the budget? Don't have a choice,
all right, But the money's got to be switched around
in our system somehow or other, because analysts say that
hitting the Pentagon's aggressive targets would cost tens of billions
of dollars, and the Big Beautiful Bill pro had an
additional twenty five billion in five year munitions funding.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
But the actual need is much higher than that.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
A word from our friends at Trust and Will, you
know you need to do this get security and peace
of mind by making it a state plan. Now do
you need a trust or a will? What's the difference?
They will coach you through all of that. They make
it easy and affordable. Now you've heard it's really expensive, right, well,
you can create and manage your customer state plan starting
at one hundred and ninety nine bucks. A trust is
a little more, but again they'll help you understand which
(10:13):
is which and why you need whatever you need.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh man, this is going to bring you such peace
of mind and then have you set up for the future.
And it's just a good idea all the way around.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Have all your.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Important documents in one place, bank level encryption with the
live customer support through chat, phone or email.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
This step by step process is going to guide you
through the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yep, secure your assets, protect your loved ones with trust
and will. You know you need to do this, And
it feels so good when it's done, Judy and I
just got done.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Trust me, it's a good feeling.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Get twenty percent off on your estate plan documents by
visiting trustinwill dot com slash armstrong. That's trustinwill dot com
slash armstrong, or doom your family to tearing themselves apart
after you're gone because you didn't do it trust andwill
dot com slash armstrong. That was guilt at the end.
That was an overt appeal to a guilty conscient and
it was over the top, and I apologize.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
The schools across the country are trying to deal with
the six seven phenomenon, which I had never heard of.
And if you bring it up to your teenager, they
are going to laugh at you, guaranteed. But I had
never heard of it at all. So we'll bring you
up to speed on that. It's one of those things
that young people know about but older people.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Don't know about. We'll get to that next segment.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And one more story about the military, and in this
case Russia.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Do you remember back when old old man Progosian and
his boys or such a force. What was the name
of his organization? I can't even remember though, the Wagner
Group or Wagner Group.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
I'm sorry. I studied German for years.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I can't bring myself to pronounce it Wagner.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But the Wagner Group was a huge military force in Africa,
and a lot of African countries said, look, military is
a little weak. We're not sure we can trust our
generals come in and help us. Which and so Russia
had spread its umbrella of influence and all over some
critical parts of Africa.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
The Kremlin's efforts to keep the Wagner Group going post progotions.
Unfortunate airline incident has been very, very unsuccessful, and so
all these countries are calling the US again saying, hey,
you remember how we used to be friends and you
would help us against our Islamist Islamist lunatics.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Are you guys still available?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So our influence is filling that vacuum again apparently, which
is probably a good thing as Russia continues to deplete
its you know, its forces, its weaponry, and its influence.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A couple of mass shootings over the weekend that we
might want to touch on, it's just is there anything
to say about any of these that does anybody any good?
Is the question, I guess, but might.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Take you away later.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
In getting ready to start the show, I always do
the same thing, which is go through everything I had
prepared over the last couple of days and decide which
of it would still be great. And some of it
is kind of out of dat or it's been replaced
by more urgent stuff. And I found myself saying, oh,
that was two rounds of horror ago, We're not talking
(13:16):
about that anymore. So, though it is relevant and important, Well,
just now I'll get rid of that because we have
so much new horror to talk about.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
It's not pleasant.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Teachers and their clever ways to deal with the six
seven phenomenon. It's actually kind of funny among all the things.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
All the way stay here.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Young people have always had their slang or whatever right
that the older crowd doesn't know, and it's.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
How you separate yourself. As you know.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh, I had a funny experience with my high schooler
and his buddy. We picked up at his house and
we're driving back and listening to them talk in the
backseat of my truck. Wow, they could have been from
Kruzikstan and speaking in their language. I would have had
as much luck of understanding what the hell they were
talking about various terms they are using. So I read
(14:06):
this article about six seven last night. Uh, and my
son is out, so I text him. I said, do
you or any of your friends say six seven? He said,
there's no way. You're just becoming aware of this. I thought, well,
I just did, what does six seven mean? The new
(14:27):
brain rot slang kids are saying according to this article,
and of course six seven it's not well, that's part
of it. Well that's it, yeah, right there, from that song,
it's not new According to my son, you're just now
learning about this. A new viral trend has taken social
media by storm, and it's creeping into classrooms across the country.
It's called the six seven trend. While the name suggests numbers,
(14:52):
there's no math involved. Decoding what it actually means is
very tricky. It comes from this song can you Hit
That again? Six sat of it by Scrilla called Dute doote,
and it features a recurring lyric sixty seven over and
over against sixty seven sixty seven six seven six sat
In the song doote doute you say six to seven,
(15:13):
and it's become a popular sound to select when your
post videos on.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
TikTok or Instagram.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It also has an association with LaMelo Ball, a basketball
player who's six seven. Somehows factored into this I don't
quite understand, but anyway, it's becoming grained in generation alpha language.
Is that what we're supposed to call young people now?
Because we went through Z and we're back to A.
It's as common as lol and yolo were to millennials
(15:40):
back in the day. Here's my favorite part, though, what
does it mean? That's still up in the air? It
can be used as a casual descriptor to say something
is so, so, refer to someone as tall, or simply
as a joke without a punchline. Basically, it means nothing,
which annoys parents and teachers since kids are constantly saying it,
(16:00):
writing it, singing it.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Six sat of it.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
One of your big dictionaries had their list of new
words came out a few weeks ago, and one of
them was skivity. And what struck me was their standards
included terms that are likely to endure in the language
for many years to come, and I thought, that's not
going endoor till Christmas.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Some schools are trying to ban it because it's become
so disruptive.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Others are embracing it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And they had a teacher here who counts up to
five and then waits for the the kids to all
say six, seven, and then they all laugh to make
it feel like, you know, I'm one of you. She's
found a way, this teacher to incorporate it into teaching methods.
We're reading from page six and seven today and then
everyone laughs. Six Sava or writing challenges. You have a
(16:49):
writing challenge in English in which you are allowed six
to seven minutes to write what you're gonna write, or
you do it in sixty seven words.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Let the uh, let the record reflect that it was
at this moment that I gave up me too.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Michael and I have given up together?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Are you even as someone in your early thirties too
old for six seven?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I have no idea what there at least from when
I was younger. Or slang meant something and I had
like a definition.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yeah, well, and like I said, I asked my son
about it. He's like, you're just now learning about it.
So the new slang is old and tired for whatever.
Just let you know I'm old and tired.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I hear you the fact.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That English teachers are saying, we're gonna have an essay
writing assignment and you have six to seven minutes to
write it. To try too, I guess, sir.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
We need military academies all over this country, every state,
every town.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
We need school uniforms. We need short hair, we need
skirts below the knee, we need all of it. Bring
back the paddle, yes, all of it. The moment has arrived.
Clapping erasers. Everything needs to come back, something needs to
be done.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I willed delive.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Where did it go?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Armstrong? And Getty.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
This is yet another message of it's not us in them,
it's us. It's a country, it's a people, and when
these things happen, instead of the divide, this is the
time to unite.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
That is a sheriff in Michigan talking about how we've
got to do something about all this violence in the
wake of I don't know, pick your favorite bit of
horror of the last week and a half, two a month.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, I didn't know where you were going to say there,
if it was somebody in North Carolina, from the guy
that shot up that bar, whatever.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
So on the political violence stuff, it's easier because you
can talk about the rhetoric and how we're all Americans
and this is only going to get worse if we
don't blah blah blah on just the random I'm just
mad at this church, bar school, whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I don't know that life.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, we have in my mind two distinct things happening.
Number One, there is political violence that is the culmination
of a maybe stupid and crazy, but thought out formation
of a political philosophy. You got your Antifa violence, for instance.
They know what they're doing and why they're doing it.
(19:37):
They all talk about it all the time. They are
a group. You have various groups on campus. You got
the up with hamas people committing various acts of violence.
You have some folks on the right who are loonies,
they have their militia in the woods whatever. Once in
a great while they committed an act of violence. That
is one thing. Then the other thing is and we've
(19:57):
got to recognize this in the half with jackass in
the mainstream media never will because they have neither the
capacity nor the desire to understand anything, and they suck
at their jobs and I hate them.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Anyway, Ah, the other thing that we have going is
the I'm angry, I'm probably suicidal. I think other people
should be hurt, And sometimes those people grasp onto an ideology,
like in the last four months before they commit their
glorified suicide.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, that's why most of these are glorified suicides.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And the way they get attention for their suicide is
to take a few or a bunch of people with them.
That is a different thing, and we need to recognize
that as a society, I think. But as far as
going over the details of the latest horrors and the
suspected motivations and blah blah, I just don't have it
in me.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Well, and there's the well, not only that, is it
depressing and I don't have it in me.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
There's just no there's no point. There's just no point
in it.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So the Governor of Utah was the lead story on
the season premiere sixty Minutes last night. You know that
got so much attention after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in
his state, and he was again on sixty minutes last
night going on about social media and the evils of
it and how it's making us all insane and crazy.
Do you think that plays a role at all in
(21:22):
the glorified suicide stuff? I wonder if it does, just
because it makes the world seem worse than it is. Well,
and I think it is just.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
I think the culture of this has got to be
posted online to validate the experience online is what life?
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Is?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
That a lot of the because you point out to
be pleased the next time one of these shooters turns
out to be an outgoing person who is involved in
several civics organizations.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And not he spent all his time online. He smoked
a lot of potty, played.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
A lot of video games, so their worldview is it's
got to be big and be posted online to matter.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
And I was listening to Governor what's his name? What's
the governor? You toaw his name Cox?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I can't remember his name. For whatever, I was listening
to Governor Cox last night. Talked about the social media
thing and the algorithms and how it dominates our lives
and how many hours a day people spend on it
and that sort of stuff, and I was just thinking,
is there a solution to this? I'm not sure there is.
Just he's right about all that. I think he's one
(22:34):
hundred percent right about the damage it's doing and how
it's crazy, it's making us and depressed and it seems
like there's nothing good in the world. And uh, but
I don't know if there's anything that can be done
about that. Spreading awareness of what you just said through
what Facebook exactly? You got to post it online, post
(22:54):
it on TikTok, have a TikTok dance about this is
bad for you.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
I'm with the cat.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The newest trend is to reject all trends.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, oh, I'm not optimistic about that. Okay, So that's that.
Here's a different story.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
They got a lot of attention in the last twenty
four hours.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
You always go ahead, you always say that, and you're right.
But that is the solution. It is clearly the solution.
Anybody's looked at it knows.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
It's this same. Well, yeah, but it's never going to happen.
That's why I dismiss it. It is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
You think people are going to turn away from from
the internet. I think that people who turn away from
the Internet are going to turn away from the Internet.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
Maybe it's going to be a small percentage of.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
People and will be very happy. Well, okay, you're talking
about individuals. I'm talking about society. I'm wanting society to
get better. I'm wanting all these shootings to stop, for instance.
That's not going to stop. True, Okay, well then reagree
on that.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Well, well, it's yeah, I know, it's it's it's it's
an entirely rhetorical distinction. In the same way that a
corporate ration is people. As Mitt Romney tried to point
out too much mockery, society is a collection of individuals.
There is no fixing society quote unquote, there's only fixing individuals.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
But that is doomed as well. Why would anyone listen
to this show? Can't imagine when you have many other
options out there. Listen to some happy music or somebody
talking about sports.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Or something like that. Anyway, here's a different news story
for you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Just five weeks before election day, the scandal scard Mayor
of New York City, Eric Adams is dropping out of
the race.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
So the big question is who gave him what? Both
both Republicans and Democrats. Trump offered him a job a
while back, and Adam said he didn't want to take it.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So, but they're all of people offering.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Him jobs spots on you know, a corporate board where
you're not gonna have to do anything, where you're gonna
get paid a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Just get out of the damn race.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
There's so many people left, right and center who don't
want the Communists to become mayor. Democrats don't want it
because it's gonna they're gonna have that hung around their
neck for however long he's mayor of New York?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Is you want this this party this guy.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Republicans don't want it because he's gonna bring policies that
are gonna be awful. So no nobody wants this guy.
So I just wonder what did Eric Adams get to
drop out? That's one story the IK immunity, Oh it
could be yeah. And then so you got the interesting
thing of one crook dropped out so that it's now
a different crook can run alone against the Communists.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
To see is gonna be mayor New York. What a situation.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But uh, the reason I wanted to bring this up
is Wall Street Journal had an article of why young
people are turning to socialisms? What socialism? What is the
moment that got them all interested in socialism? And according
to Wall Street Journal, the main moment for Momnami himself
and a lot of his friends and a lot of
people of that ilk today, it was the two thousand
(26:11):
and eight meltdown financial crisis.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
People that were.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Of the age that they were out and about and
new people who were losing their homes because the mortgage
rate jumped all all of a sudden, because you know,
you bought it at three percent and then it jumps
to whatever it was going to be after five years,
and people said they didn't know that or whatever but
that whole thing where the world crashed, that's what the
(26:40):
Tea Party grew out of. When we had the eight
hundred billion dollar bailout for these companies that had gone
around ripping people off, they got bailed out. That is
the ground zero for all the socialist communists out there
of what turned them the direction they got turned.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it's unfortunate that so much of the crash was
set up by stupid government policy messing with the free market.
Barney Frank and Bill Clinton telling the banks, you got
to lend to anybody who Fogg's a mirror, otherwise we'll
bring you down. They said, all right, we'll go ahead,
and then they lent to people who had no business
having a mortgage and it all went kurb bluey, credit
(27:18):
to fault swaps, et cetera. But the young people reacted
to that with we need more crappy government policy. In fact,
we need the government in charge of everything. That's how
we'll prevent this. It's like we were saying last week,
socialism is one of the greatest, most clever scams ever
created by humankind. Because you can get young people to
fall for it over and over again.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It'll be interesting to see what the first polling is
with Eric Adams out and it's you know, well, some
of those people that were supporting him go to mom,
Dami de kami or will they all go over to
Andrew Cuomo the woman grabbing, old person killing, liar and crook.
So I love you And that was the short version
(28:03):
of Culomo's resume right there. Yeah, yeah, can we just
call him the villain Cuomo or something to summarize it.
And he's the great hope to stop the awfulness of
the communists.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Darling, I kissed a woman on the cheek.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Right, yeah, funny situation.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Uh, you know what, I'm desperate for something cheery and uh.
And after a quick word from our friends of Prize Picks,

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It's good to be right.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Six seven am I right? So you got that Kamala
Harris stuff. We got other stuff all the way. Stay here.
Speaker 8 (30:10):
In her new book, Kamala Harris said Gavin Newsom avoided
her call after Biden dropped out of the race. To
be fair, when she calls, it's usually at three am,
after she fails a breathalyzer.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Wow, gut Feld, and is Kamala is a drunk theme?
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Okay? Fair enough?
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Ah So, if Guttfeld had written Kamala's book, I'm not
sure it would as thoroughly embarrass her as her own
book does.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Of course, I don't believe she wrote it.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
She just jabbered to some writer for a while and
he crafted it into a book. But or she But
it is the gift that keeps on giving. She has
explained finally why she did not ever appear on the
Joe Rogan Experience. Okay, that infamous incident. They were scheduled,
they were talking about doing it, and then she didn't
(31:05):
do it. And we said it was because she and
her people realized she can't.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
She's not smart enough.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
She's too you know, mushmouthed, well, there's just a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
They made the argument at the time that he wouldn't
agree to their terms, but they made their terms unagreeable
on purpose.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
So Harris recounts her side of the Rogan story in
a section of her new book. She writes that she
really wanted to do an interview with Rogan. Even his
campaign aids argued it was a bad idea that was
in the book, and they were right. When Rogan's team
asked Harris to come to Austin for the interview. However,
Harris was uncertain about, quote spending time in Texas so
(31:46):
close to the election, when every minute in a swing
state mattered.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
But then she traveled to Houston. You lost every single
swing state.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
So but she traveled to Houston, which according to some experts,
is in Texas, for a quote big rally on reproductive
rights in late October, and Rogan said, hey, why don't
she come to Austin the next morning, Harris writes. They
said they could do it at eight thirty am, not later,
as Joe had commitments. I had commitments as well, and
(32:18):
it wasn't feasible to get from Houston to Austin. By
eight thirty am. By the way, there are multiple flights
every day. If you fly commercial in coach, it's an hour.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
She was flying on Air Force two and spent two
point six million dollars on private jets for campaign staffers,
including herself, the month of that rally, the month of
that rally, So the idea that she couldn't get to
Houston to Austin is absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Let's see.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
And then Harris's claims contradict Rogan's account of the saga.
Rogan said she had an opportunity to come here while
she was in Texas. I literally gave them an open invitation.
I said, anytime she's done at ten o'clock, I'll come
back here at ten o'clock. I'll do it at nine
in the morning, I'll do it at ten pm, I'll
do it at midnight. Whenever you guys say, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
And of course you would, because I mean, you can't
hardly get a bigger get than.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
That, right.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
But Kamalas in her book says, no, they told me
it was eight thirty am and only eight thirty am,
and it wasn't feasible to get from Houston.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
To Austin, so I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Well, she's the same person she was, you know when
those decisions were being made. She possibly thinks she's actually
going to run for president. I do not know, but yeah, yeah,
it's absolutely hilarious. It won't happen, but it's fun to
talk about.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
A Massachusetts is forcing foster parents to affirm trans children.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh my god, I fighting against that.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
So you do the whole foster parent thing, which is
a heck of a deal. It makes you a very
special person, assuming you're not a nut job. And then
the government forces you into this deal.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
And also next hour, I'd like to get in and
do how the whole soft on crime thing actually works.
It's a system of interlocking organizations and ideas, and we'll
trace it for you so you know who's doing what.
It's pretty interesting. I think.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yesterday I was at the my Son's Boy Scout physical
fitness thing. There's like twenty scouts there and they're all
doing push ups, doing sit ups, doing pull ups and
running and again it's like a six week thing here,
so you do it every couple of weeks. You time yourself,
you count the numbers of whatever you're doing, then you
try to practice in between and see if you can improve.
(34:35):
That's basically that's cool. Yeah, it's a good idea. And
then they talk about stuff you should eat, and you
know how the deal is.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I am fit.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I don't know if I'm more fit than the average
thirteen year old, but I'm more fit than most of
these thirteen year olds, for better or worse. But it's
amazing on how you can't look at a kid and
have any idea how many pull ups are gonna be
able to do. I'll tell you that because I was
in charge of the pull up bar with my board
and my pencil and everything like that, counting the pull ups.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, there's just no way you can. You see, you
can see a wiry kid and you think this kid's
gonna do ten. He does a half of one. And
then you see a different kid you think, I don't
know if he can do any cranks out eight.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's just it's the randomness of pull ups. Pull Ups
need to go away as a test of strength because
nobody understands why some people can do them some people.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Can't, right, And how often do you have to pull
yourself up in life, fat god, not that often ever,
but very seldom of I really needed to lean upon
that skill.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
I haven't hop defense in many moons, so it's kind
of you know, you grab the top and you pullize
that same muscle group.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I suppose one very cute, uh like thirteen year old
girl decided she and she might have been eleven. She
decided to skip the entire one run, which is a
very eleven year old girl sort of thing to do.
Very cute, though, you gotta know your strength, she said,
as she sat down for a smoke.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
No, I'm kidding, not a smoke, certainly not.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I would like I would like to have compared the
group of thirteen year olds from yesterday, the scouts from
yesterday to I don't know, twenty years ago, forty years ago.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I feel like we're getting weedier.
