Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Jetty and Armstrong and Jetty eleven months ago. I
(00:25):
inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
When I took office, inflation was the worst in forty
eight years, and some would say in the history of
our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before,
making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This
happened during a Democrat administration, and it's when we first began.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Hearing the word affordability. Donald Trump last night primetime address
with the belief that it's a messaging problem. The reason
people feel this way about the economy. The economy's fine.
It's a messaging problem. And I think that's true to
some extent. The president's energies, at least on camera, seemed
(01:09):
to be more about foreign policy. Leader I disagree. I
don't think it's true at all. I think I think
prices are still feel high. People some people who don't
understand what inflation is. A lot of people believe prices
were actually going to go down when he became president.
They didn't because that's not the way inflation works. And
(01:29):
they're still really mad about it. And you can try
to paint it however you want, with whatever messaging you want.
But until I get used to the fact that what
this meal cost eighty bucks, yeah, I ain't gonna go.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, you're disagreeing with me by agreeing with me completely.
In effect, that's what the Trump administration should be saying.
What you just said, that the lack of good messaging
about Look, this is going to be tough. Here's the
way inflation works, here's how we're trying to combat it,
and they just haven't. So they tried to the president
out for speech last night, which was covered in widely
(02:04):
divergent ways. As you might think. We'll give you some
of the headlines in a couple of minutes, but I
thought the opening stuff was really quite good.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Sixty one Michael.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions, and
insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even
eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders more than
(02:32):
fifty percent of whom killed more than one person.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This is what the.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and it
can never be allowed to happen again.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Man, there's no arguing on the whole immigration thing. And
New York Times had that great piece a week ago
on how everybody around Joe Biden was saying this is
a disaster.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, I thought that was strong and indisputable,
coming from jails, insane asylums, gunnerrhea, clinics, animal cruelty groups,
just scum.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Of the earth, insane asylums and mental institutions, which is
a rough TUO for that's terrible. Uh give me sixty two, Michael.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
We had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody,
crime at record levels, with law enforcement and words such
as that just absolutely forbidden.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We had the worst trade deals.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Ever made, and our country was laughed at.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
From all over the world. But they're not laughing anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
All right, good, good, strong, positive stuff. And then at
some point he god is adrenaline to kick in or something,
and got much louder on the microphone, but whoever was
in charge of the audio didn't notice or something, and
so the rest of it sounds kind of overdriven. If
you're familiar with the audio terminology or whatever, give me
(03:53):
a sixty five.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Michael, I am bringing those high prices down and bringing
them down very fast.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Let's look at the facts.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Under the Biden administration, car prices rose twenty two percent
and in many states thirty percent or more. Gasoline rose
thirty to fifty percent. Hotel rates rose thirty seven percent,
airfares rose thirty one percent.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Now under our.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Leadership, they are all coming down and coming down fast.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't watch the speech. What was the setting. Was
he sitting behind the desk or what was he doing?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
He was behind a lec turn in the diplomatic room.
I think that was decorating for Christmas and had the
flags behind him and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The Christmas thing nice, the Christmas White House look, which
is always nice.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And then he talked a little bit about wages and
tariffs his favorite word, and building factories and plants and that,
which is actually not there's not much of that happening.
But I think that's unfair criticism. That sort of thing
takes years to get going. But now and then that's
the problem with the whole tariff thing in general. Are
you going to invest in building a plant if you
know that takes years, but the next president that's all
(05:00):
going to.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Go away, and so you don't need to build a plant.
The Supreme Court does it next month.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's that's kind of a
silly criticism. But then he got to some cash for you,
clip seventy Michael.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big, beautiful bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress that includes no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on social Security
(05:35):
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
refund season of all time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And then go ahead, you got to do something on
I'll wait. And then finally he made this promise to
our our uniformed men and women.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Seventy one one million, four hundred and fifty thousand military
service members will receive a special we call Warrior dividend
before Christmas, a Warrior Dividend in honor of our nations
founding in seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We are sending.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We made a lot more.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Money than anybody thought because of tariffs, and the bill
helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's an interesting idea.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, So sending out checks for seventeen hundred and seventy
six dollars to everybody in uniform, I guess. So there's
even more pulling that came out this week where Trump's
really struggling with his numbers on the economy, which he
was bulletproof on that number his first term, no matter
what was going on, no matter what he said or
what you know, nuttiness by some people's standards, was happening
(06:56):
in the Trump administration. People trusted him on the economy,
and those numbers have collapsed. And I think because like
I was saying earlier, it's just look at what my
grocery bill is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
When I get to the end of the line. It
hasn't gone down and I don't see that turning around
anytime soon. But anyway, inflation numbers out today, they came
in less than expected. Whatever that's all about. So Kevin
Hassett's the uh, he's the Economic Council advisor for Donald Trump.
(07:25):
He said, this is just an astonishingly good inflation report
that came out today, two point seven percent. We've looked
at sixty one forecast this number came in better than
every single one of them, and not a single economist
surveyed by Bloomberg got it right. So that's the spin.
It's not I'm fair to call it spin. That's just
the fact today on that particular number when you break
(07:48):
it out, though, that's what they're doing in the Wall
Street Journal. Some of the numbers within the number, so
all items two point seven percent, but energy services up
seven point four percent, just flat energy four point two percent. Uh,
food about where it was two point six but fuel
oil up eleven percent, piped gas up nine percent. Energy
(08:10):
just killing people. I know, my bills are ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Also interesting because the President houted the fact that gasoline
prices are much lower than they were during the Biden years,
which is true.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Medical care services up three point three percent, shelter up
three percent, so a lot of the things you really
need up quite a bit. Electricity up six point nine percent.
Damn used vehicles. Well that's a good one or a
bad one, depending on whether you're buying or selling. Right.
If I'm selling one, I'm happy that they're up almost
four percent. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
So Trump's his modus operandi for a very long time
is been to make out landish promises and be always
the consummate salesperson and marketer. The problem he's got, though,
is if he were to make like grandiose claims about immigration,
and he doesn't have to because they've done an unbeliev job,
but about you know, how much is coming in or
(09:02):
how much they've stopped or whatever, people would kind of
sort of have to take his word for it or
look it up or whatever, because you know, I'm sitting
here talking to a microphone in my home whatever. I
can't see people crossing the border. I don't live on
the border. On the other hand, everybody, everybody is an
expert on the economy, their personal economy. They know exactly
(09:25):
what's going on. You can't sales pitch your way through
on people's personal economies, right, And you know, Trump his
vaunted instincts, he's how he's got to be able to
understand that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Biden didn't. Biden was a miserable failure at it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And I'm a little surprised to see Trump not doing
a little better job at it. But anyway, headful of
headlines New York Times, I wonder in my own life,
at what point I'll stop being surprised when they bring
me the bill at a restaurant or when they give
me the total the groceryes. I still am surprised as
of today. Yeah, what how do I spend? Are you
(10:04):
sure you ring that up right?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I would agree completely. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
A review of some of the headlines real quickly coming
up afterward from our friends at Omaha Steaks. Speaking of
spending money for Christmas gifts, do not squander your hard
earned dollars on some ill advised sweater or knickknack that
will go directly in a drawer and never be seen again.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
For that person you.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Care about who doesn't need stuff, give them Oh Maha Steaks,
Oh my gosh, the quality's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Give them a year of deliciousness. Yeah, Omaha Steaks are
so good. All the products that they have there are
so good, and they have been your butcher America's original
butcher since nineteen seventeen, family owned company. By the way,
it's a pretty cool story if you ever want to
look into it. But right now, our listeners get an
extra thirty five dollars off with the coat Armstrong when
you check out at Omaha Steaks dot Com.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Their fan favorite filet Mignon's have achieved the distinction of
USDA certified Very Tender, which is a thing apparently, but
the quality is absolutely fantastic. Everything there. The apple tartlets
are a revelation. Holy cowra They good say big on
gourmet gifts and more holiday favorites with Omaha Stakes.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Visit omahas takes.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Dot com and for an extra thirty five bucks off,
use that code Armstrong at checkout terms flies he say
for details. That's Omaha Stakes dot Com promo code Armstrong.
New York Times, as you might expect, a bella cooast,
Trump points fingers in defending his record on the economy, lying, liar,
lied his way through lies and distortions and wrong statistics
(11:33):
and highly selective misleading use of statistics.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Washington Post. Trump attempts to domestic reset with fast paced
White House address, and they pointed out that, yeah, his
pace was much much faster than he used. It seems
like a fair headline from the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh yeah, I would agree. Here's your lead.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
President Donald Trump bashed his predecessor and praised his own
policy achievements in his first year back in office, delivering
an eighteen minute live address to the nation on Wednesdays.
He seeks to reverse lagging public opinion numbers and convince
Americans that he is addressing their economic concerns. I think
that is a perfectly fair assessment. They certainly are a
bit critical in the WAPO during the article, but you
know why not. Let's see the Wall Street journal Trump
(12:18):
defends handling of economy, announces military dividend. President Trump defended
his handling and the announced day's seventeen hundred and seventy
six dollars warrior dividend check for active duties service members,
he said would be paid for with tariff revenue. And again,
you know a mix of description and criticism where he
(12:38):
was right, where he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
As journalism, in short, I think that's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
The New York Post has clearly staked its stake. Is
that a thing on pro trumpiness? Trump tells America, I'm
fixing Biden's mess in chart filled primetime address and does
not have even the slightest caveat or cast much less
criticism for the whole thing, and they reproduce several of
(13:04):
his charts which actually are pretty interesting. You really have
to take in a broad variety of news if you
want to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I think later this hour we should do quarter
till at the end of this hour, we should do
our first challenge to raise money, where we do something
to punish you. We're going with carrot and stick approach.
We've tried the carrot of here's how you can help
young people out there, particularly young men with scouting.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Making them into the great Americans we want them to
be in our government schools. They're doing the opposite.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's the carot, which helps all the country obviously, if
you have a next generational leadership that believes in patriotism
and morals and all that sort of stuff. So we've
tried the carrot, We're going to go with the stick.
We're going to have Katie Green reading the licensing agreement
rules for something. Until you donate a certain amount of money,
we'll get to that lad Jack. It's always fun. Hey, hey,
(14:02):
you forced us into this. We've got a goal we've
got to hit. We got to your chance and other news.
We've got to get to stay here. On a recent.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Podcast, Kamala Harris argues that Democrats aren't speaking authentically even more.
She says they're stuck in the past, referring to that
one awkward time when President Biden tried to sell.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Her quite a joke. That is quite a joke. Wow,
I'm Greg Gutfoe. Wow. Now I'm not gonna mention this one, Hanson.
It's kind of funny, it's very edgy. But five bucks
you don't get mentioned. You got to give at least
twenty five dollars to Scouting to get your wacky name
(14:45):
mentioned on the air. We'll talk about total a little
bit later. We got a good fun challenge for you.
Got a couple of kind of sport Oh sock underwear garter.
Gave a thousand bucks. Thank you, whal sighting sock underwear garter.
That was my idea yesterday. I want some garter that
attaches to the bottom of my boxer briefs in the
top of my socks, keeping my socks up and my
underwear down. Wow. I just think it would be very,
(15:08):
very handy. I don't know how good a look it
would be, but you're not gonna see it. So God
Armstrong and Getty dot com. If you want to donate
to Scotting, we'll explain all that a little bit later
if you don't know what we're talking about. Three little
kind of non super sports e sports things. Philip Rivers,
the sixty five year old former NFL star who's playing
for the Indianapolis Colts now, is gonna play the final
(15:32):
five games of the year for the Colts at age
forty four and make over two hundred and seventy eight
thousand dollars. It presented is like a that's a lot
of money. Well, it's a lot of money, but for
an NFL quarterback, I'm surprised they aren't throwing more money
at him the way they throw around money in the NFL.
He's gonna start five NFL games and make two.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars as all well, after
taxes and his agent, that's not going to be very much.
I going to get that, Yeah, And there clearly they're desperate.
They're luring Grandpas off the couch.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well they're a playoff team, aren't They are possible playoff
team anyway, thought they're in the jack, They're in the hunt.
The Kansas City Chiefs are not in the hunt. I
keep seeing it being presented as Patrick Mahons out for
the season. Well, yeah, he had a bad injury. But
if he sprained his finger once they're eliminated from the playoffs,
playing Patrick Mahones would be insane for the last several
(16:26):
games of the year, wouldn't it. Since he played it,
he's played like an extra. It's the one in three
quarters seasons over the last decade because of all his
playoff runs, one of the great runs in NFL history,
if not the greatest run in NFL history, in terms
of making it deep into the playoffs year after year
after year after year, and then finally this one Delaware
(16:49):
beat Louisiana and the sixty eight Ventures Bowl. I'm sure
y'all were really tied into that and had a lot
of money on it. Boys, we've always been amused by
the Bowl games, the sixty eight Ventures. I'm sure that's
a big deal to some people in a certain part
of the country. I don't know where it is, and
there's lots of sponsors and money to be made, and
probably a queen and a pageant and a parade maybe.
And the people that were stars of passed Venture Bowls
(17:12):
came back and waved their hands at half time. I
was confused.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I thought, like the nineteen sixty eight Venture that's a
thing that just happened.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't know what it is. Delaware beats Louisiana in
the sixty eight Ventures Bowl. That's the headline. I have
no idea what that means. It's that a website or
an AI.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I whant to see actual playoffs for college football start
any minute.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Used to be, I mean, if you're old, it was
pretty much always New Year's Day they crowned the champion
or then they finally had a championship game. But now,
like everything else, that's got moved back. It's practically February.
I think when you finally get around to.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It, Yeah, check your local listings. It's coming up pretty
quick though, because there are multiple rounds.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Super Bowls in June this year, for instance, just keeps
getting moved back. I don't think that's right. We have
some more news. We're going to have Katie do something
awful on purpose to try to raise money for the Scouts.
We'll explain that a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And we got a touch on the most hated person
on the internet again.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh yeah, we gotta do that. Boy, if you haven't heard,
you want to be angry? Who doesn't stay tuned? Ho
Ho Ho Armstrong and Getty. We've got a great punishing
challenge to try to raise money for Scouting coming up
in a little bit. We'll explain it in a like
ten twelve minutes something like that. It's something that's the
(18:27):
idea is we're going to put something on the air
that you want to stop, and to get it to stop,
you have to go to Armstrong in getty dot com
and donate money to Scouting. That's the way it will works.
So stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So the Internet has decided to hate on a woman
from Chico, California this week, and she certainly earned a
certain amount of dislike derision. Although, as we've observed many times,
the Internet mob not only does it sometimes go overboard,
it practically starts overboard.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And just turns in do angry moms on this woman.
Short of violence, I'm fine with practically whatever. Oh my oh,
my disavow, I disavow anyway. Here is the incident. You
have a younger woman berating an elderly gal who is
working to earn a few bucks at her local Target.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I can wear red any red shirt, but Charlie kirkshirt.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yes, oh yes, I know. Are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Why the would you wear that? You're at work Target?
You support a racist? It's not racist. Yes, I'm sorry
that I'm at here and argue with you're not. You
should go get your manager. You should not be allowed
to wear the artwork. Got your The opinion is he's
a racist and you support him. Yes, your opinion. This
is going to be taken above your head. That's insane.
(19:53):
And yeah, you're awful. You're an awful person. We're big
in cheek, oh Chico, Northern California. The dang up by
writing those areas they lean way more conservative than I'm
talking to people around the country who don't know. This
lean way more conservative than a lot of what you
picture with California. So it's not that surprising that you
(20:14):
got an older woman wearing a Charlie kirkt shirt at
the Target. The woman who decides to drop f bombs
on an old woman probably working a seasonal schedule at
Target to make a little extra money, and then posting
it with are you f ing stupid? Oh my god,
you're an awful person? Back to you know, whatever derision
(20:34):
comes our way, I'm fine with God, You're a horrible
human being. And then she posted it herself because she
is so look at me own this nice old woman right,
very proud of it, posted herself online. Hate you.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Social media is shut down, as you might imagine now,
as hate and derision and dosing followed the posting. Somebody
before she sat down shut down her social media posted
a picture of her with some companion who are posing
next to an America Needed Charlie Kirk a sticker on
a car gesturing at their throat like having your throat
(21:10):
shot out and then a middle finger and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Very clever, very smug. I hate this woman. On the
other hand, I would never take even ten seconds of
my time to post anything about her or call her
work or I would never ever do that. There's been
quite a bit of anger pour down on her, Katie right.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
The medical facility that she works for has received six
thousand plus profanity laced phone calls.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, I just I don't get that impulse. Really,
I kind of think, well, I think you get the impulse,
you don't get the action. Yes, I get the impulse,
I don't get the action, correct. I think it's more
along the lines of what you always say about people
like that, the punishment you could dole out as them
having to be themselves the rest of their lives. It's
(22:04):
a life sentence. I'm sure she doesn't have a lot
of friends. A lot of people hate her, whether she
knows it or not.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Well, I'll bet she has a lot of people who
are her fellow, strident, hateful, superior. Stop me, when you
recognize a good quality in a person, you know, judgmental,
vicious tribesmen like her and they all support each other
in high five and that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah, that's probably the crowd. She was posting this too. Sure,
it's it's difficult, Like, I don't I don't know that
people ought to be hounded out of their jobs for
this sort of thing. But as we were talking about yesterday,
if we found out somebody around here that I need,
that I needed to work with, don't just work with
like it's they're in the building and I see them occasionally,
(22:50):
like I need to interact with them on a regular
basis and have conversations with them.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I don't want to work with somebody like that.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
No, And if they were under my supervision, I would
seek a way to have them not be in the
organization anymore. I don't, you know, it's a sort of
because of why because they're a hateful lunatic.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Well, yeah, that that, among other things.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
We got an email we were talking about I can't
remember what the topic was exactly, but we got an
email from a guy who's in the car business. Well,
I guess we were talking about dishonest car dealers or
something like that, and he said, look, I learned a
long time ago that anybody who will lie for me
sooner or later will lie to me, And so he
doesn't employ.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
People like that.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Well, you get a hateful, vicious, bigot woman like this,
there's no chance. That's the only you know, moral failing
and the only you know way in which that will
come out over time. So no, I don't want that
sort of person in my organization. On the other hand,
the lovely and gentle spirited older gal who were talking
(23:54):
about the target employee has something to say Clip eighteen.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I wrongs don't make a right. You know, she wronged
me that I don't want to wrong her. That was
her opinion. But she's the one that fitted on Facebook,
you know. But I really wouldn't want to see her
somebody lose their job over it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Wow, you know nothing about clapping back.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's a very kind and decent thing. And you have
not wronged her, gene and then you will not wrong her.
It's everybody else that wants to wrong her.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And then, in the way that the modern world works,
somebody started to go fund me for the old lady
who was wearing the Charlie kirk t shirt to raise
money for her. Where are we on that because of
her financial losses? Oh wait wait no, there weren't any Yes,
where are we on that, Katie? I believe we're at
one hundred and twenty seven thousand. There you go. That
(24:47):
is so interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
It's like one of those raffles where you get to
pick which prizes you like the best, and you put
your ticket in front of the golf clubs, but not
in front of the poe Parie because you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, America with the GoFundMe, just like puts.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Their dollars in the jar of whoever they like the
best or or think is the on the right side
of something.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It's an interesting impulse. Let's make her at least momentarily wealthy.
So this nice old woman work at a target because
some ass clown comes and says some rude things. Now
probably is more cash flush than she's ever been in
her life. Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You could make the argument that it's a praise, it's
a tip if you will, for her restraint, her kindness,
and her good manner, her.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Rewarding good behavior punishing bad behavior. That's the whole thing. Really.
And by the way, if you had some nice old
black woman wearing a BLM T shirt and some right
winger came along and said, are you effing stupid Black
lives matter? Blah blah blah, I would feel exactly the
same way. Exactly Well then, and it's worth noting that
(25:53):
the nation's media would have this on their front page
for a week. True, that's a very good point.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah, yeah, some nice old lady who leans right being
verbally accosted by a vicious younger person doesn't get a
breath of attention.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
In the mainstream media. But we're used to that. These
are weird times to live in. Yeah, I'm not a fan.
So her company, the awful human being that is the
woman drop a f bombs and complaining she hasn't lost
her job yet her company hasn't fired her. They haven't.
(26:29):
Of course, that might just be the difficulty of firing
anybody in California. They don't want to deal with the
lawsuits and all that sort of stuff. Might just be
that if it were if they're like the olden days
or different states, where you could think, I hate her,
what a jerk, let's get rid of her, they probably
would have.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
The company released a statement, I can't remember if it
was on Instagram or Facebook, basically saying we're aware of
the video, we don't condone our employees' actions, and there's
a further investigation or you know, the corporate.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Please stop calling us.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, see what they said, because our yeah, yeah, because
our patients can't get.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Somebody had just came across this on Twitter. Apropos of nothing.
The best part of being married is having a permanent
person to debrief immediately with after any social event. That's
that's good and it reminds me. I saw a thing
j Moore, the comedian, I saw on Instagram thing on
him yesterday. He's talking about getting married and people always say,
(28:33):
you know, you got to find somebody you got stuff
in common with, and he says, that's crap, which I
also kind of think is true. One of my best
friends we have very little in common with and like
music and movies and all that sort of stuff and
restaurants stuff like that. But we're best friends for all
kinds of different deeper reasons. But he said, you know
who you need to be married to that you have
(28:53):
the things you hate in common. That's the important thing.
When you get married you hate the same sort of stuff.
That might be very true, it might absolutely be true. Wow, Yeah,
somebody's got to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Write a momentarily hot book on that topic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
We're going to do something we've done year after year
after year when we're raising money for a good cause,
like we are with the Scouts this year. We can
go through explaining why you should donate just because it's
a good idea, or we can punish you on the
radio because you haven't donated yet with something you don't
want to hear, and we're going to do that. Coming
(29:29):
up next, we'll explain stay tuned. Huge Jazz donated some money.
I like that. That's a classic. Thank you, mister Jazz,
Thank you you raising money for Scouts this week. I've
been talking since my son joined the Boy Scouts back
in last spring or whatever. That's one of the most
impressive things I've ever seen. It's the best thing that's
(29:50):
happened in his life. I've talked to other dads in
his Scout group and what it's done for their kids.
Seeing I'm mature and learned patriotism and the flag ceremony
and saying the Pledge of Allegiance and just all this
different good stuff that I like about Scouting. And we
can talk more about a little bit later. And the
idea is that it costs a couple hundred bucks definitely
(30:12):
per family, get the uniform and all the different fees
and everything like that to sign up and not everybody
can afford it, so we're raising money that then the
Scouts could say to a family, hey, we'll cover it
and your kid can be in Scouting, which sounds pretty dangnice.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, we want every kid, no matter their financial status,
to be able to enjoy the benefits of Scouting.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So the more money we raise, the more kids we
can get into Scouting. Go to Armstrong and getty dot
com to gifts. We're currently at about one hundred and
ten thousand dollars, would love to hit one hundred and
fifty by the end of the show. Today at about
one hundred and ten thousand dollars. So here's what we've
got planned now. Later in the show, Joe is going
to play the trombone and I'm going to play the violin. Correct, yes,
(30:53):
Christmas songs, playing beloved Christmas classes. I don't actually play
the violin.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And I haven't picked up my trombone since last year,
and we have no music, but I'm sure as musicians
we can figure it out and play it by ear.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So stay turned and the idea, well, we'll play songs
and it will sound horrible, and we are not going
to stop until you raise a certain amount of money.
And that's what we're going to do here with Katie Green,
except she's not going to play an instrument. She is
just going to read from a licensing agreement from a
variety of different things, that thing that you check I
agree on without actually reading.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Right, because you know they're going to steal your data
and your money. But it's too painful to read.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And this we're going to do to ratchet it up,
not that it's not boring and annoying enough just to
hear her read it. She's going to start adopting different
voices like valley girl up talk, screeching as we go along,
to make it more and more indolerable as the minutes
go by. So I think we do with a little
mini goal of five thousand dollars one ten, until we
(31:52):
get to one fifteen, it's going to be Katie Green
go the Netflix materials license agreement.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
We're starting off normal by downloading or otherwise receiving from
Netflix the Netflix artwork, images, graphics, photographs, clips, video.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Whoever thinks, just keep going, I'm just speaking. You just
keep reading, going, you just keep reading, just keep going, photographs, clips,
videos for second about Netflix or content on the Netflix
Brands site.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Imagine if one human being in.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
The three to be bound by the following terms and conditions,
and here comes the vocal fry.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
And some up speak.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
You like, agree to comply Alix brand.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Asset terms and.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Terms set forth on the Netflix Brands side.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Are a California girl.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
As long as you do so, and provided you are
a Netflix current, Flix Ink and It's affiliates.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
A little low pitch worldwide. Money is coming in undred
five hundred dollars or twenty nine dollars at the time.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
License to use Netflix material halfway there already as approved
by Netflix.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
We got about twenty five hundred bucks. We need another
two thousand five or make this stock. No lord, the
Netflix materials are Netflix.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Looks like hits by the right then the last intellectual
property or otherwise, yes, one hundred.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Materials at all uses. The money is coming in. We
get some text with people who are saying it's clogged
up they can't donate, which I appreciate of netflil boys,
car It's designs.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
You're always continue to do a sex kitt and Katie.
But I'm afraid we'd get a million dollars in stock.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Objectionable to Netflix. If you want to donate Netflix, we're
very close to getting you five thousand dollars that we
needed to terminator modify. You're pretty imagine this would be bad.
This is far worse than I see. Just one more,
one more donation will be there. This was any intellectual
(34:11):
pro Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, god we've got We're there.
We're there, We're there, We're there. We made it. We
made it. We made it, we made it, we made it. Wait,
wait a minute. She didn't even get to food and mouth.
I ain't got food moose like this. I'm glad you stopped.
I would have had to leave the room for food
and mount.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I know that's why I wanted to hear it, because
it would make you sick.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I can't listen to someone talk and eat. I just hey, guys,
that was a lot of fun. Thank you. That's a
good idea. Wow, we got to do that next year.
Just right off the bat, somebody talking while they eat,
maybe soup, maybe having a bowl of soup while they talk.
Thanks for going to Armstrong and getdy dot com. We'll
hit you with a toe a little bit later, because
(34:54):
I know it's hard for the internet to keep up
with the donations when they start coming in really fast
like that. That's fantastic. Yeah yeah, I'm trying to think
what the go ahead? The gravel in Gavin Newsom's voice
donated twenty five bucks. Appreciate that. I hate monopoly for
twenty five bucks? What is this the olden days? One
hundred dollars? A lot of different versions of the f
(35:16):
f Olican party, which Joe and Haunty. Yes, yes, a
lot of donations. Bat is crazy for twenty five dollars.
But anyway, we'll head toe a little bit later and
really appreciate it, and particularly the Scouts and Society appreciate it.
So go to Armstrong and Getty dot com, Katie.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
When you hit that high pitched voice, it looks like
the money really started to flow in.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Work, I hope. So definitely was that was oddly painful? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Hey, you know what I'd like to get to next
hour is so we talked about the concept of dynamic pricing.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Oh boy, yeah, that's so interesting.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Your fast food burger is more expensive at lunchtime. Well,
it's way way more sophisticated and some might say insidious
than that. Instantly being able to change the price not
only based on when you're buying, but who is doing
the buying.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well in Citius usually has negative connotations on it. I
don't know if I have any problem with this. I don't.
It's not gonna benefit me certainly. But now that the
technology exists, how do you convince a retailer they shouldn't
do this?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Right? Why wouldn't you? On every single item you sell,
you do basically a negotiation which eat with each and
every customer.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
It makes perfect sense from a free market perspective. I
think it would probably be good if our friends knew
what was happening.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Oh yeah, the fact that you might get charged more
for an airline ticket because the airline company has enough
of your data to know you can afford a little more,
that's troubling.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Well, I've got an example where people are getting charged
what would that be about? Almost twenty percent more for
a jar of peanut butter based on who they are? Wow, yeah,
it's all. It's it's down to that sort of product.
Jack will pay three fifty nine for a jar peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Hit him hard, And then I wonder about all the
different ways to try to get around this with different logins,
or having your you know, your poor neighbor by stuff.
I don't know what if you miss me, poor Jim,
do me a favor? Would Jim Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Jetty and Armstrong and Jetty eleven months ago. I
(00:25):
inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
When I took office, inflation was the worst in forty
eight years, and some would say in the history of
our country, which caused prices to be higher than ever before,
making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This
happened during a Democrat administration, and it's when we first began.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Hearing the word affordability. Donald Trump last night primetime address
with the belief that it's a messaging problem. The reason
people feel this way about the economy. The economy's fine.
It's a messaging problem. And I think that's true to
some extent. The president's energies, at least on camera, seemed
(01:09):
to be more about foreign policy. Leader I disagree. I
don't think it's true at all. I think I think
prices are still feel high. People some people who don't
understand what inflation is. A lot of people believe prices
were actually going to go down when he became president.
They didn't because that's not the way inflation works. And
(01:29):
they're still really mad about it. And you can try
to paint it however you want, with whatever messaging you want.
But until I get used to the fact that what
this meal cost eighty bucks, yeah, I ain't gonna go.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, you're disagreeing with me by agreeing with me completely.
In effect, that's what the Trump administration should be saying.
What you just said, that the lack of good messaging
about Look, this is going to be tough. Here's the
way inflation works, here's how we're trying to combat it,
and they just haven't. So they tried to the president
out for speech last night, which was covered in widely
(02:04):
divergent ways. As you might think. We'll give you some
of the headlines in a couple of minutes, but I
thought the opening stuff was really quite good.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Sixty one Michael.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions, and
insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even
eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders more than
(02:32):
fifty percent of whom killed more than one person.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This is what the.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and it
can never be allowed to happen again.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Man, there's no arguing on the whole immigration thing. And
New York Times had that great piece a week ago
on how everybody around Joe Biden was saying this is
a disaster.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, I thought that was strong and indisputable,
coming from jails, insane asylums, gunnerrhea, clinics, animal cruelty groups,
just scum.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Of the earth, insane asylums and mental institutions, which is
a rough TUO for that's terrible. Uh give me sixty two, Michael.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
We had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody,
crime at record levels, with law enforcement and words such
as that just absolutely forbidden.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We had the worst trade deals.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Ever made, and our country was laughed at.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
From all over the world. But they're not laughing anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
All right, good, good, strong, positive stuff. And then at
some point he god is adrenaline to kick in or something,
and got much louder on the microphone, but whoever was
in charge of the audio didn't notice or something, and
so the rest of it sounds kind of overdriven. If
you're familiar with the audio terminology or whatever, give me
(03:53):
a sixty five.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Michael, I am bringing those high prices down and bringing
them down very fast.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Let's look at the facts.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Under the Biden administration, car prices rose twenty two percent
and in many states thirty percent or more. Gasoline rose
thirty to fifty percent. Hotel rates rose thirty seven percent,
airfares rose thirty one percent.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Now under our.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Leadership, they are all coming down and coming down fast.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't watch the speech. What was the setting. Was
he sitting behind the desk or what was he doing?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
He was behind a lec turn in the diplomatic room.
I think that was decorating for Christmas and had the
flags behind him and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The Christmas thing nice, the Christmas White House look, which
is always nice.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And then he talked a little bit about wages and
tariffs his favorite word, and building factories and plants and that,
which is actually not there's not much of that happening.
But I think that's unfair criticism. That sort of thing
takes years to get going. But now and then that's
the problem with the whole tariff thing in general. Are
you going to invest in building a plant if you
know that takes years, but the next president that's all
(05:00):
going to.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Go away, and so you don't need to build a plant.
The Supreme Court does it next month.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's that's kind of a
silly criticism. But then he got to some cash for you,
clip seventy Michael.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big, beautiful bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress that includes no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on social Security
(05:35):
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
refund season of all time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And then go ahead, you got to do something on
I'll wait. And then finally he made this promise to
our our uniformed men and women.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Seventy one one million, four hundred and fifty thousand military
service members will receive a special we call Warrior dividend
before Christmas, a Warrior Dividend in honor of our nations
founding in seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We are sending.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We made a lot more.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Money than anybody thought because of tariffs, and the bill
helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's an interesting idea.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, So sending out checks for seventeen hundred and seventy
six dollars to everybody in uniform, I guess. So there's
even more pulling that came out this week where Trump's
really struggling with his numbers on the economy, which he
was bulletproof on that number his first term, no matter
what was going on, no matter what he said or
what you know, nuttiness by some people's standards, was happening
(06:56):
in the Trump administration. People trusted him on the economy,
and those numbers have collapsed. And I think because like
I was saying earlier, it's just look at what my
grocery bill is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
When I get to the end of the line. It
hasn't gone down and I don't see that turning around
anytime soon. But anyway, inflation numbers out today, they came
in less than expected. Whatever that's all about. So Kevin
Hassett's the uh, he's the Economic Council advisor for Donald Trump.
(07:25):
He said, this is just an astonishingly good inflation report
that came out today, two point seven percent. We've looked
at sixty one forecast this number came in better than
every single one of them, and not a single economist
surveyed by Bloomberg got it right. So that's the spin.
It's not I'm fair to call it spin. That's just
the fact today on that particular number when you break
(07:48):
it out, though, that's what they're doing in the Wall
Street Journal. Some of the numbers within the number, so
all items two point seven percent, but energy services up
seven point four percent, just flat energy four point two percent. Uh,
food about where it was two point six but fuel
oil up eleven percent, piped gas up nine percent. Energy
(08:10):
just killing people. I know, my bills are ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Also interesting because the President houted the fact that gasoline
prices are much lower than they were during the Biden years,
which is true.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Medical care services up three point three percent, shelter up
three percent, so a lot of the things you really
need up quite a bit. Electricity up six point nine percent.
Damn used vehicles. Well that's a good one or a
bad one, depending on whether you're buying or selling. Right.
If I'm selling one, I'm happy that they're up almost
four percent. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
So Trump's his modus operandi for a very long time
is been to make out landish promises and be always
the consummate salesperson and marketer. The problem he's got, though,
is if he were to make like grandiose claims about immigration,
and he doesn't have to because they've done an unbeliev job,
but about you know, how much is coming in or
(09:02):
how much they've stopped or whatever, people would kind of
sort of have to take his word for it or
look it up or whatever, because you know, I'm sitting
here talking to a microphone in my home whatever. I
can't see people crossing the border. I don't live on
the border. On the other hand, everybody, everybody is an
expert on the economy, their personal economy. They know exactly
(09:25):
what's going on. You can't sales pitch your way through
on people's personal economies, right, And you know, Trump his
vaunted instincts, he's how he's got to be able to
understand that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Biden didn't. Biden was a miserable failure at it.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And I'm a little surprised to see Trump not doing
a little better job at it. But anyway, headful of
headlines New York Times, I wonder in my own life,
at what point I'll stop being surprised when they bring
me the bill at a restaurant or when they give
me the total the groceryes. I still am surprised as
of today. Yeah, what how do I spend? Are you
(10:04):
sure you ring that up right?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I would agree completely. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
A review of some of the headlines real quickly coming
up afterward from our friends at Omaha Steaks. Speaking of
spending money for Christmas gifts, do not squander your hard
earned dollars on some ill advised sweater or knickknack that
will go directly in a drawer and never be seen again.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
For that person you.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Care about who doesn't need stuff, give them Oh Maha Steaks,
Oh my gosh, the quality's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Give them a year of deliciousness. Yeah, Omaha Steaks are
so good. All the products that they have there are
so good, and they have been your butcher America's original
butcher since nineteen seventeen, family owned company. By the way,
it's a pretty cool story if you ever want to
look into it. But right now, our listeners get an
extra thirty five dollars off with the coat Armstrong when
you check out at Omaha Steaks dot Com.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Their fan favorite filet Mignon's have achieved the distinction of
USDA certified Very Tender, which is a thing apparently, but
the quality is absolutely fantastic. Everything there. The apple tartlets
are a revelation. Holy cowra They good say big on
gourmet gifts and more holiday favorites with Omaha Stakes.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Visit omahas takes.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Dot com and for an extra thirty five bucks off,
use that code Armstrong at checkout terms flies he say
for details. That's Omaha Stakes dot Com promo code Armstrong.
New York Times, as you might expect, a bella cooast,
Trump points fingers in defending his record on the economy, lying, liar,
lied his way through lies and distortions and wrong statistics
(11:33):
and highly selective misleading use of statistics.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Washington Post. Trump attempts to domestic reset with fast paced
White House address, and they pointed out that, yeah, his
pace was much much faster than he used. It seems
like a fair headline from the Washington Post.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh yeah, I would agree. Here's your lead.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
President Donald Trump bashed his predecessor and praised his own
policy achievements in his first year back in office, delivering
an eighteen minute live address to the nation on Wednesdays.
He seeks to reverse lagging public opinion numbers and convince
Americans that he is addressing their economic concerns. I think
that is a perfectly fair assessment. They certainly are a
bit critical in the WAPO during the article, but you
know why not. Let's see the Wall Street journal Trump
(12:18):
defends handling of economy, announces military dividend. President Trump defended
his handling and the announced day's seventeen hundred and seventy
six dollars warrior dividend check for active duties service members,
he said would be paid for with tariff revenue. And again,
you know a mix of description and criticism where he
(12:38):
was right, where he's wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
As journalism, in short, I think that's fine.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
The New York Post has clearly staked its stake. Is
that a thing on pro trumpiness? Trump tells America, I'm
fixing Biden's mess in chart filled primetime address and does
not have even the slightest caveat or cast much less
criticism for the whole thing, and they reproduce several of
(13:04):
his charts which actually are pretty interesting. You really have
to take in a broad variety of news if you
want to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So I think later this hour we should do quarter
till at the end of this hour, we should do
our first challenge to raise money, where we do something
to punish you. We're going with carrot and stick approach.
We've tried the carrot of here's how you can help
young people out there, particularly young men with scouting.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Making them into the great Americans we want them to
be in our government schools. They're doing the opposite.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's the carot, which helps all the country obviously, if
you have a next generational leadership that believes in patriotism
and morals and all that sort of stuff. So we've
tried the carrot, We're going to go with the stick.
We're going to have Katie Green reading the licensing agreement
rules for something. Until you donate a certain amount of money,
we'll get to that lad Jack. It's always fun. Hey, hey,
(14:02):
you forced us into this. We've got a goal we've
got to hit. We got to your chance and other news.
We've got to get to stay here. On a recent.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Podcast, Kamala Harris argues that Democrats aren't speaking authentically even more.
She says they're stuck in the past, referring to that
one awkward time when President Biden tried to sell.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Her quite a joke. That is quite a joke. Wow,
I'm Greg Gutfoe. Wow. Now I'm not gonna mention this one, Hanson.
It's kind of funny, it's very edgy. But five bucks
you don't get mentioned. You got to give at least
twenty five dollars to Scouting to get your wacky name
(14:45):
mentioned on the air. We'll talk about total a little
bit later. We got a good fun challenge for you.
Got a couple of kind of sport Oh sock underwear garter.
Gave a thousand bucks. Thank you, whal sighting sock underwear garter.
That was my idea yesterday. I want some garter that
attaches to the bottom of my boxer briefs in the
top of my socks, keeping my socks up and my
underwear down. Wow. I just think it would be very,
(15:08):
very handy. I don't know how good a look it
would be, but you're not gonna see it. So God
Armstrong and Getty dot com. If you want to donate
to Scotting, we'll explain all that a little bit later
if you don't know what we're talking about. Three little
kind of non super sports e sports things. Philip Rivers,
the sixty five year old former NFL star who's playing
for the Indianapolis Colts now, is gonna play the final
(15:32):
five games of the year for the Colts at age
forty four and make over two hundred and seventy eight
thousand dollars. It presented is like a that's a lot
of money. Well, it's a lot of money, but for
an NFL quarterback, I'm surprised they aren't throwing more money
at him the way they throw around money in the NFL.
He's gonna start five NFL games and make two.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars as all well, after
taxes and his agent, that's not going to be very much.
I going to get that, Yeah, And there clearly they're desperate.
They're luring Grandpas off the couch.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well they're a playoff team, aren't They are possible playoff
team anyway, thought they're in the jack, They're in the hunt.
The Kansas City Chiefs are not in the hunt. I
keep seeing it being presented as Patrick Mahons out for
the season. Well, yeah, he had a bad injury. But
if he sprained his finger once they're eliminated from the playoffs,
playing Patrick Mahones would be insane for the last several
(16:26):
games of the year, wouldn't it. Since he played it,
he's played like an extra. It's the one in three
quarters seasons over the last decade because of all his
playoff runs, one of the great runs in NFL history,
if not the greatest run in NFL history, in terms
of making it deep into the playoffs year after year
after year after year, and then finally this one Delaware
(16:49):
beat Louisiana and the sixty eight Ventures Bowl. I'm sure
y'all were really tied into that and had a lot
of money on it. Boys, we've always been amused by
the Bowl games, the sixty eight Ventures. I'm sure that's
a big deal to some people in a certain part
of the country. I don't know where it is, and
there's lots of sponsors and money to be made, and
probably a queen and a pageant and a parade maybe.
And the people that were stars of passed Venture Bowls
(17:12):
came back and waved their hands at half time. I
was confused.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I thought, like the nineteen sixty eight Venture that's a
thing that just happened.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't know what it is. Delaware beats Louisiana in
the sixty eight Ventures Bowl. That's the headline. I have
no idea what that means. It's that a website or
an AI.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I whant to see actual playoffs for college football start
any minute.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Used to be, I mean, if you're old, it was
pretty much always New Year's Day they crowned the champion
or then they finally had a championship game. But now,
like everything else, that's got moved back. It's practically February.
I think when you finally get around to.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
It, Yeah, check your local listings. It's coming up pretty
quick though, because there are multiple rounds.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Super Bowls in June this year, for instance, just keeps
getting moved back. I don't think that's right. We have
some more news. We're going to have Katie do something
awful on purpose to try to raise money for the Scouts.
We'll explain that a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And we got a touch on the most hated person
on the internet again.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh yeah, we gotta do that. Boy, if you haven't heard,
you want to be angry? Who doesn't stay tuned? Ho
Ho Ho Armstrong and Getty. We've got a great punishing
challenge to try to raise money for Scouting coming up
in a little bit. We'll explain it in a like
ten twelve minutes something like that. It's something that's the
(18:27):
idea is we're going to put something on the air
that you want to stop, and to get it to stop,
you have to go to Armstrong in getty dot com
and donate money to Scouting. That's the way it will works.
So stay tuned.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So the Internet has decided to hate on a woman
from Chico, California this week, and she certainly earned a
certain amount of dislike derision. Although, as we've observed many times,
the Internet mob not only does it sometimes go overboard,
it practically starts overboard.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And just turns in do angry moms on this woman.
Short of violence, I'm fine with practically whatever. Oh my oh,
my disavow, I disavow anyway. Here is the incident. You
have a younger woman berating an elderly gal who is
working to earn a few bucks at her local Target.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
I can wear red any red shirt, but Charlie kirkshirt.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yes, oh yes, I know. Are you stupid?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Why the would you wear that? You're at work Target?
You support a racist? It's not racist. Yes, I'm sorry
that I'm at here and argue with you're not. You
should go get your manager. You should not be allowed
to wear the artwork. Got your The opinion is he's
a racist and you support him. Yes, your opinion. This
is going to be taken above your head. That's insane.
(19:53):
And yeah, you're awful. You're an awful person. We're big
in cheek, oh Chico, Northern California. The dang up by
writing those areas they lean way more conservative than I'm
talking to people around the country who don't know. This
lean way more conservative than a lot of what you
picture with California. So it's not that surprising that you
(20:14):
got an older woman wearing a Charlie kirkt shirt at
the Target. The woman who decides to drop f bombs
on an old woman probably working a seasonal schedule at
Target to make a little extra money, and then posting
it with are you f ing stupid? Oh my god,
you're an awful person? Back to you know, whatever derision
(20:34):
comes our way, I'm fine with God, You're a horrible
human being. And then she posted it herself because she
is so look at me own this nice old woman right,
very proud of it, posted herself online. Hate you.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Social media is shut down, as you might imagine now,
as hate and derision and dosing followed the posting. Somebody
before she sat down shut down her social media posted
a picture of her with some companion who are posing
next to an America Needed Charlie Kirk a sticker on
a car gesturing at their throat like having your throat
(21:10):
shot out and then a middle finger and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Very clever, very smug. I hate this woman. On the
other hand, I would never take even ten seconds of
my time to post anything about her or call her
work or I would never ever do that. There's been
quite a bit of anger pour down on her, Katie right.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
The medical facility that she works for has received six
thousand plus profanity laced phone calls.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, yeah, I just I don't get that impulse. Really,
I kind of think, well, I think you get the impulse,
you don't get the action. Yes, I get the impulse,
I don't get the action, correct. I think it's more
along the lines of what you always say about people
like that, the punishment you could dole out as them
having to be themselves the rest of their lives. It's
(22:04):
a life sentence. I'm sure she doesn't have a lot
of friends. A lot of people hate her, whether she
knows it or not.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Well, I'll bet she has a lot of people who
are her fellow, strident, hateful, superior. Stop me, when you
recognize a good quality in a person, you know, judgmental,
vicious tribesmen like her and they all support each other
in high five and that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Yeah, that's probably the crowd. She was posting this too. Sure,
it's it's difficult, Like, I don't I don't know that
people ought to be hounded out of their jobs for
this sort of thing. But as we were talking about yesterday,
if we found out somebody around here that I need,
that I needed to work with, don't just work with
like it's they're in the building and I see them occasionally,
(22:50):
like I need to interact with them on a regular
basis and have conversations with them.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I don't want to work with somebody like that.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
No, And if they were under my supervision, I would
seek a way to have them not be in the
organization anymore. I don't, you know, it's a sort of
because of why because they're a hateful lunatic.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Well, yeah, that that, among other things.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
We got an email we were talking about I can't
remember what the topic was exactly, but we got an
email from a guy who's in the car business. Well,
I guess we were talking about dishonest car dealers or
something like that, and he said, look, I learned a
long time ago that anybody who will lie for me
sooner or later will lie to me, And so he
doesn't employ.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
People like that.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Well, you get a hateful, vicious, bigot woman like this,
there's no chance. That's the only you know, moral failing
and the only you know way in which that will
come out over time. So no, I don't want that
sort of person in my organization. On the other hand,
the lovely and gentle spirited older gal who were talking
(23:54):
about the target employee has something to say Clip eighteen.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I wrongs don't make a right. You know, she wronged
me that I don't want to wrong her. That was
her opinion. But she's the one that fitted on Facebook,
you know. But I really wouldn't want to see her
somebody lose their job over it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Wow, you know nothing about clapping back.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's a very kind and decent thing. And you have
not wronged her, gene and then you will not wrong her.
It's everybody else that wants to wrong her.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And then, in the way that the modern world works,
somebody started to go fund me for the old lady
who was wearing the Charlie kirk t shirt to raise
money for her. Where are we on that because of
her financial losses? Oh wait wait no, there weren't any Yes,
where are we on that, Katie? I believe we're at
one hundred and twenty seven thousand. There you go. That
(24:47):
is so interesting.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
It's like one of those raffles where you get to
pick which prizes you like the best, and you put
your ticket in front of the golf clubs, but not
in front of the poe Parie because you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well, America with the GoFundMe, just like puts.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Their dollars in the jar of whoever they like the
best or or think is the on the right side
of something.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It's an interesting impulse. Let's make her at least momentarily wealthy.
So this nice old woman work at a target because
some ass clown comes and says some rude things. Now
probably is more cash flush than she's ever been in
her life. Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You could make the argument that it's a praise, it's
a tip if you will, for her restraint, her kindness,
and her good manner, her.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Rewarding good behavior punishing bad behavior. That's the whole thing. Really.
And by the way, if you had some nice old
black woman wearing a BLM T shirt and some right
winger came along and said, are you effing stupid Black
lives matter? Blah blah blah, I would feel exactly the
same way. Exactly Well then, and it's worth noting that
(25:53):
the nation's media would have this on their front page
for a week. True, that's a very good point.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah, yeah, some nice old lady who leans right being
verbally accosted by a vicious younger person doesn't get a
breath of attention.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
In the mainstream media. But we're used to that. These
are weird times to live in. Yeah, I'm not a fan.
So her company, the awful human being that is the
woman drop a f bombs and complaining she hasn't lost
her job yet her company hasn't fired her. They haven't.
(26:29):
Of course, that might just be the difficulty of firing
anybody in California. They don't want to deal with the
lawsuits and all that sort of stuff. Might just be
that if it were if they're like the olden days
or different states, where you could think, I hate her,
what a jerk, let's get rid of her, they probably
would have.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
The company released a statement, I can't remember if it
was on Instagram or Facebook, basically saying we're aware of
the video, we don't condone our employees' actions, and there's
a further investigation or you know, the corporate.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Please stop calling us.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, see what they said, because our yeah, yeah, because
our patients can't get.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Through Yeah that was it.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, fair enough, all right. Quick word from our friends
at Prize Picks. The easiest, most fun way to get
involved with fantasy sports, uh fantasy football for instance, every week,
you don't need to draft a team and then wait
till the end of the season, then wait till next
year's draft. You can pick your favorite players and win
when they hit their projections every week, no draft required.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, you know, a lot of a lot of fantasy
sports stuff works. You're you know, you got Patrick Mahons
on your team, and he gets hurt and he's out,
and you're just well, you're wasting all that time, all
that work. Prize Picks you can stay engaged through the
whole season, through the whole game, with all kinds of
different cool stuff. And now this the new year early payouts.
If your lineup gets off to a hot start, you
may now have the option to cash out those winnings

And now on Prize Picks, how he plays up to you.
If you want flexibility, choose the flex play where you
can get paid even if one of your picks misses.
Download the Prize Picks after today. Use the code Armstrong

dollar lineup. That's the coat Armstrong to get fifty dollars
in lineups after you play just a five dollars lineup.
It's automatic. You get it either way, Prize picks. It's
good to be right.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Somebody had just came across this on Twitter. Apropos of nothing.
The best part of being married is having a permanent
person to debrief immediately with after any social event. That's
that's good and it reminds me. I saw a thing
j Moore, the comedian, I saw on Instagram thing on
him yesterday. He's talking about getting married and people always say,
(28:33):
you know, you got to find somebody you got stuff
in common with, and he says, that's crap, which I
also kind of think is true. One of my best
friends we have very little in common with and like
music and movies and all that sort of stuff and
restaurants stuff like that. But we're best friends for all
kinds of different deeper reasons. But he said, you know
who you need to be married to that you have
(28:53):
the things you hate in common. That's the important thing.
When you get married you hate the same sort of stuff.
That might be very true, it might absolutely be true. Wow, Yeah,
somebody's got to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Write a momentarily hot book on that topic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
We're going to do something we've done year after year
after year when we're raising money for a good cause,
like we are with the Scouts this year. We can
go through explaining why you should donate just because it's
a good idea, or we can punish you on the
radio because you haven't donated yet with something you don't
want to hear, and we're going to do that. Coming
(29:29):
up next, we'll explain stay tuned. Huge Jazz donated some money.
I like that. That's a classic. Thank you, mister Jazz,
Thank you you raising money for Scouts this week. I've
been talking since my son joined the Boy Scouts back
in last spring or whatever. That's one of the most
impressive things I've ever seen. It's the best thing that's
(29:50):
happened in his life. I've talked to other dads in
his Scout group and what it's done for their kids.
Seeing I'm mature and learned patriotism and the flag ceremony
and saying the Pledge of Allegiance and just all this
different good stuff that I like about Scouting. And we
can talk more about a little bit later. And the
idea is that it costs a couple hundred bucks definitely
(30:12):
per family, get the uniform and all the different fees
and everything like that to sign up and not everybody
can afford it, so we're raising money that then the
Scouts could say to a family, hey, we'll cover it
and your kid can be in Scouting, which sounds pretty dangnice.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, we want every kid, no matter their financial status,
to be able to enjoy the benefits of Scouting.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So the more money we raise, the more kids we
can get into Scouting. Go to Armstrong and getty dot
com to gifts. We're currently at about one hundred and
ten thousand dollars, would love to hit one hundred and
fifty by the end of the show. Today at about
one hundred and ten thousand dollars. So here's what we've
got planned now. Later in the show, Joe is going
to play the trombone and I'm going to play the violin. Correct, yes,
(30:53):
Christmas songs, playing beloved Christmas classes. I don't actually play
the violin.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And I haven't picked up my trombone since last year,
and we have no music, but I'm sure as musicians
we can figure it out and play it by ear.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So stay turned and the idea, well, we'll play songs
and it will sound horrible, and we are not going
to stop until you raise a certain amount of money.
And that's what we're going to do here with Katie Green,
except she's not going to play an instrument. She is
just going to read from a licensing agreement from a
variety of different things, that thing that you check I
agree on without actually reading.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Right, because you know they're going to steal your data
and your money. But it's too painful to read.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And this we're going to do to ratchet it up,
not that it's not boring and annoying enough just to
hear her read it. She's going to start adopting different
voices like valley girl up talk, screeching as we go along,
to make it more and more indolerable as the minutes
go by. So I think we do with a little
mini goal of five thousand dollars one ten, until we
(31:52):
get to one fifteen, it's going to be Katie Green
go the Netflix materials license agreement.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
We're starting off normal by downloading or otherwise receiving from
Netflix the Netflix artwork, images, graphics, photographs, clips, video.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Whoever thinks, just keep going, I'm just speaking. You just
keep reading, going, you just keep reading, just keep going, photographs, clips,
videos for second about Netflix or content on the Netflix
Brands site.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Imagine if one human being in.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
The three to be bound by the following terms and conditions,
and here comes the vocal fry.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
And some up speak.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
You like, agree to comply Alix brand.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Asset terms and.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Terms set forth on the Netflix Brands side.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Are a California girl.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
As long as you do so, and provided you are
a Netflix current, Flix Ink and It's affiliates.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
A little low pitch worldwide. Money is coming in undred
five hundred dollars or twenty nine dollars at the time.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
License to use Netflix material halfway there already as approved
by Netflix.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
We got about twenty five hundred bucks. We need another
two thousand five or make this stock. No lord, the
Netflix materials are Netflix.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Looks like hits by the right then the last intellectual
property or otherwise, yes, one hundred.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Materials at all uses. The money is coming in. We
get some text with people who are saying it's clogged
up they can't donate, which I appreciate of netflil boys,
car It's designs.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
You're always continue to do a sex kitt and Katie.
But I'm afraid we'd get a million dollars in stock.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Objectionable to Netflix. If you want to donate Netflix, we're
very close to getting you five thousand dollars that we
needed to terminator modify. You're pretty imagine this would be bad.
This is far worse than I see. Just one more,
one more donation will be there. This was any intellectual
(34:11):
pro Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, god we've got We're there.
We're there, We're there, We're there. We made it. We
made it. We made it, we made it, we made it. Wait,
wait a minute. She didn't even get to food and mouth.
I ain't got food moose like this. I'm glad you stopped.
I would have had to leave the room for food
and mount.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I know that's why I wanted to hear it, because
it would make you sick.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I can't listen to someone talk and eat. I just hey, guys,
that was a lot of fun. Thank you. That's a
good idea. Wow, we got to do that next year.
Just right off the bat, somebody talking while they eat,
maybe soup, maybe having a bowl of soup while they talk.
Thanks for going to Armstrong and getdy dot com. We'll
hit you with a toe a little bit later, because
(34:54):
I know it's hard for the internet to keep up
with the donations when they start coming in really fast
like that. That's fantastic. Yeah yeah, I'm trying to think
what the go ahead? The gravel in Gavin Newsom's voice
donated twenty five bucks. Appreciate that. I hate monopoly for
twenty five bucks? What is this the olden days? One
hundred dollars? A lot of different versions of the f
(35:16):
f Olican party, which Joe and Haunty. Yes, yes, a
lot of donations. Bat is crazy for twenty five dollars.
But anyway, we'll head toe a little bit later and
really appreciate it, and particularly the Scouts and Society appreciate it.
So go to Armstrong and Getty dot com, Katie.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
When you hit that high pitched voice, it looks like
the money really started to flow in.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Work, I hope. So definitely was that was oddly painful? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Hey, you know what I'd like to get to next
hour is so we talked about the concept of dynamic pricing.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Oh boy, yeah, that's so interesting.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Your fast food burger is more expensive at lunchtime. Well,
it's way way more sophisticated and some might say insidious
than that. Instantly being able to change the price not
only based on when you're buying, but who is doing
the buying.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well in Citius usually has negative connotations on it. I
don't know if I have any problem with this. I don't.
It's not gonna benefit me certainly. But now that the
technology exists, how do you convince a retailer they shouldn't
do this?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Right? Why wouldn't you? On every single item you sell,
you do basically a negotiation which eat with each and
every customer.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
It makes perfect sense from a free market perspective. I
think it would probably be good if our friends knew
what was happening.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Oh yeah, the fact that you might get charged more
for an airline ticket because the airline company has enough
of your data to know you can afford a little more,
that's troubling.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Well, I've got an example where people are getting charged
what would that be about? Almost twenty percent more for
a jar of peanut butter based on who they are? Wow, yeah,
it's all. It's it's down to that sort of product.
Jack will pay three fifty nine for a jar peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Hit him hard, And then I wonder about all the
different ways to try to get around this with different logins,
or having your you know, your poor neighbor by stuff.
I don't know what if you miss me, poor Jim,
do me a favor? Would Jim Armstrong and Getty

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
