Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and Key.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Arms.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We go from the studio Ceez is a dimly lit
room where deep with in the bowels of the Armstrong
in getting communications compound, surrounded by a molten razor wire.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And today we're under the tutelage of our.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
General Manager, Donald J. Trump, Commander in chief by god.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Didn't take long to get into the controversy of the
new term, which is exciting. Sheeeselouise, can we have a
constitutional amendment? Nothing happens day one? I know it's part
of every damn campaigns about day one. I will no
no give us day one. Just to catch up breath,
you know, I was just I didn't catch much of
this yesterday. I was catching some of it today before
(01:17):
the show. I thought it was really cool. I wish
this would happen more often. If you're gonna do the
day one executive order thing, sit there signing them, surrounded
by reporters, answering questions the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I love that. How great was that compared to you?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Just hear it in the news that they signed something
without explanation, or you don't get to ask any questions.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That was almost go ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
That was a throwback to the way Trump was compared to,
certainly Biden Harris, who never gave any nearing views how
much he would talk to the press.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Like him or not, he is not afraid to answer questions.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
If you missed it, Trump actually went to Capitol One Arena,
the Big Arena where the hockey and basketball teams play,
and in front of a giant crowd, explained what he
was signing and signed a bunch of executive orders, overturning
a lot of the garbage we all hated over the
last four years, and to roars of approval from the crowd.
And one of the most astute pieces of analysis I heard,
(02:14):
I'm pretty sure, was brit Human Fox News said, virtually
all of our just, wise and powerful leaders of the
past have governed from uh from the inside out. They
get together with their brain trust, they cook up policies
that will serve themselves and their cronies and sometimes America
(02:35):
then sell it to the American people. Trump just looks
around him and says, what do you want, and then he
signs it.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Popularism. Yeah, yeah, doing things that are popular. I will
never be a one hundred percent Trump honk.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I think he's a flawed guy, and we can get
into that at at you know, some point today. But
his orientation is truly to the people of the United States.
It's it's undeniable.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So, Katie, where did you get that outfit you wore
for your big Trump party that you went to yesterday
that you send us the picture you had Trump stuff on, shoes, socks, pants,
shirt at It's an accumulation free Yeah, you have to
accumulate it over time. It's not sort of thing you
can tow together in one day.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
I had to pick between four different Trump hats, so
I wore the one that had the picture of him
right after he got shot with a fist in the
air that said fight.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Right there you go. I had a T.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Shirt on where if you pull down the breast pocket breast.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's Trump's sexual harassment.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Oh yeah, well call hr it's Trump flipping everybody off.
Then I had my Trump's sweatshirt on, and then I
stole my husband's Trump socks of him doing the YMCA dances,
and then my shoes were just American flags.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Those I wear those every year for fourth of duly oh,
and today you're rocking the I'm voting for the Felon hat.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Yes, along with my armstrong and getting hooey. I have
no shame anymore. Want to be mad at me, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Walking billboard, yep, I'm in here's my favorite dumb thing
of the day. There are some some stuff that's actually
controversial that I look forward to talking about. The dumbest
controversy of the day, though, was Elon Musk's Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Have you been following that good? Yes? Yes, horrified?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
You know, with all due respect to the horrors of
the Nazi regime. I saw a headline a couple of
days ago the Taiwanese military. There's a controversy because they
do a stiff legged march, and some in the West
believe that's reminiscent of the Nazi goots step. Look, with
all due respect to the horrors of the Nazi regime,
can we just quit with the your lock and Nazi
(04:43):
in any in any unless somebody is sporting a swastika
and saying horrible things about the Jews, please.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Number one, it's a cliche. It's embarrassing. Nazi Germany.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
First of all, that right, sure, that's your best, with
all due respect, with all due respect to the horrifying
Nazi regime. Uh yeah, So Elon Musk, if he didn't
see it, he was all excited and emotional and he
like pats.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
His chest and sticks his arm in the air like
wave to the crowd. I love you. He's saying, I
love you and everything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
But you take a picture or or watch it out
of context, and it looks similar to what Hitler would.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Do and others would do, yes, Katie well.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
And and how quick everyone is to jump all over him.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But he is on the spectrum in.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Minute, right, he does have the mannerisms of that whole thing,
but autism.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You can say it out loud. So there are I've
got him in my phone here.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I got a bunch of screen captures of people taking
it completely seriously, but like not just that, not what
Joe was suggesting there, that it's reminiscent of a Nazi salute,
that it was just flat out or Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Here. This is from NPR or PBS news.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yesterday, billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a
fascist salute.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Monday, while making a speech, they just stated it a
stupid child to be quiet that adults are talking.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That was linked by an historian who teaches at some
fancy university history. I'm a historian of fascism here. That
was a Nazi salute, and a very belligerent one too,
says your history. Stupid child, be quiet, the adults are talking.
N AOC and a bunch of other people just flat
out stating he gives a Nazi salute?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Are people not bothered by this? So there's nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And then I liked the blowback of all the pictures
of everybody else you can practically come up with, I'm
doing it right.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Now with my hand, jider, my arm.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
If you always a Nazi, Michael, he's an right now.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But there's pictures of Hilary with their arm like that.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Ender and Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden and the Barack Obama
and everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
With all due respect to my with all due respect,
here's the good news. My screed wasn't even needed because
they have reached the point they've so beclowned them themselves
that at this point they claim, look at that, that
looks like a Nazi salute. And if the three hundred
and forty million of US in America, three hundred and
thirty nine million said that's stupid, shut up. You can
(07:11):
get a million people to pretend to be outraged by
something that's stupid, it no longer has any currency. It's
like if somebody says something perfectly reasonable, you're a racist.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's a systemic racism.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
The vast majority of US now know, well, I didn't
give a crap, but now no, it's okay to say, yeah,
that's not racism at all.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Be quiet. What I'm shocked.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Hasn't happened, and it should have happened years ago. I
would think after the election it would happen. If I'm
a progressive, I get together and like, you know, somebody
with some haft. If I'm a progressive with some half
fat progressive, I'm a fat progressive. Usually we're vegans and
we're very fit. We get up early in the morning,
ride our bikes. No, I mean, I'm a progressive. People
(07:53):
would listen to. I want to gather together all the
historians that go on TV and all you know, whoever
else it tweets, and all the people online everything like that,
say look, you're doing more harm than good. So if
you want to spend the day complaining about Trump pardoning
the J six people, fine, let's make that argument. You
start talking about a Hitler salute like that, and you
(08:14):
get dismissed by everybody and nobody hears our other arguments.
That's what I would say if I were a progressive. Well, right,
you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
They just can't help themselves because that's the only tool
in their toolkit. Like before I understood Neo Marxism and
what the DEI crowd was actually trying to do. We
said many times, don't you understand by calling everything racist
all the time, you're giving cover to actual racists, you're
harming your cause, not understanding that their cause wasn't anything
(08:44):
to do with racism. It was to take control of
institutions by shaming people and calling them racist.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So yeah, this is the same.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Although this is to me either, I think it's elite bubble.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Misreading of the American peace people.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
They, I think a lot of them actually believe when
they say, look at Elon Musk, he's straightened his arm.
That's just like a Nazi, so he's a Nazi. They
actually believe America is responding with, oh my god, you're right,
thanks for warning us and.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not derisive laughter. Oh my god, god, what clowns.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
So the abl who stands up for people saying we're
doing bad things against the Jews against it, Yeah, stands
up against people doing bad things to or saying bad
things about the Jews.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
They came out and said they didn't think much.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You know, they weren't worried about it. They were neutral
on the whole Nazi salute from Elon Musk. Sure AOC
retweeted that and said, just to be clear, you're defending
a highle hit salute, hile Hitler salute that was performed
and repeated for emphasis and clarity, people can officially stop
listening to you as any sort of reputable source of
Thank you for making it clear to everyone. Yeah, go
(10:03):
whip us up a sandwich. We just signed to America. Oh,
I ask the same question I always ask, does she
believe that? Does she believe Elon Musk? I would think
if you're a Nazi, you'd try to hide it a
little more than do it in form of the basketball
stadium full of people. I'm gonna try to slip in
a quick Nazi salute. Right, hope nobody notices. Now you've
(10:28):
almost got the right question. The question is not whether
she believes it. The question is does she believe Americans
believe it? Her constituents, Democrats, people in general.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You're right, and because she considers it herself so smart,
she can manipulate everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Else, and a lot of the people of Brooklyn probably
do believe it. So we should start to show officially.
I'm going to slip in a Nazi salute. I think
I can get away with it. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, January twenty first,
the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program.
One more point. I was sweking down water and couldn't
make it in time. Looking back across the history of
Nazism and neo Nazism up to the current day, Nazis.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Can't wait to tell you they're Nazis. They tell you
the minute you meet them. They wear it on their shirts,
they weave flags. You don't have to sniff from out.
They'll tell you I'm a Nazi. They'll say, oh boy,
that's gonna end up as a clip. Ah, No, that's
probably not a good idea. All right, let's begin to
(11:31):
show officially, according to.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
FCC Rules of Regulations, brand new term, day one two
one and a half of the new Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Here we go at mark.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During
every single day of the Trump administration, I will very
simply put America first.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Hooray.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Well, that was the inaugural address, the official one. He
left there and went and gave another speech, and that
one was really jazzy, and you probably didn't hear a
lot of that, so we'll play you some clips. He
actually said at the end of it, this was better
than my speech. I gave up there certainly longer.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Uh, Peter Doucy just asked President Trump in the Oval office,
have you reinstalled the diet coke button? And he has
so he does once again have the electronic button. He
can press it and get a diet coke sent to
him immediately. I actually read about that.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
In with the old, in with the new, out with
the old.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
In the Oval office swapping out portraits and statues and
all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's more interesting than I.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Expected it to be. They don't have much time to
do it either. How does mail bag look? It's fine,
it's good, but it's pretty jazzy. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We got lots of jazzy stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Golden Age of mail bags that's on the way in
our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
A unanimous vote in the Senate last night. I didn't
look to see if it was ninety nine or one hundred.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Marco Rubio said he considered voting for himself though that's
normally not done. But a unanimous vote in the Senate
to confirm his as the Secretary of State, and he
was just sworn in, And that might be the thing
I'm most excited about with this new term, is a
Marco Rubio handling the whole China Middle East thing?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, that should be interesting. I'm about worn out on speeches.
We need less freedom of speeches. I like freedom of speech,
but we need a limited number of speeches. It's a
subtle difference. So your freedom loving Quote of the day
is actually from Donald J. Trump yesterday. The Golden Age
of a America begins right now. We'll see, and we
don't discuss the tone of the speech, the specifics of it.
(14:06):
The ass whoopan he gave the old guys while they
sat there and took it, all of it looking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Forward to that. I guess I understand.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Hillary laughed when he said he was going to change
the Gulf of Mexico through the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I did not see that myself, but I heard that
yet Ida laughed too. That's funny. JG. And livermore frequent correspondent.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
In defense of Trump's inaugural speech, years of being told
by Democrats in office that Trump was an illegitimate president,
an actual conspiracy in its first term by some of
the people in institutions he should have been able to
rely on, like the FBI and DOJ leakers, anonymous whistleblowers,
almost a decade of being called a fascist, being compared
to Hitler, being blamed for the January sixth ride, even
though he offered additional security and told him to be peaceful.
(14:56):
Two bogus impeachments, well one bogus law that currently has
him owing half a billion dollars, facing the loss of
his business license, on and on egos. Sometimes I admire
people who can turn the other cheek and remain completely statesmen,
like in the face of terrible insults. But sometimes, like now,
I really really want my leader to speak on my
behalf and speak truth to power. I squirmed while Trump
(15:17):
was unloading on the Biden presidency, while at the same
time feeling like Biden got off easy because he's been
shielded from such criticism by four years of a syncophatic
media and democratic party built around an army of sheeple.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What he said?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
John Stewart last night said he was playing clips from
the day and when the Biden's invited the Trumps into
the White House. John Stewart said, You're gonna go have
tea with the guy you called Hitler.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Garrick in the People's Republic of Davis, California. Rights You
guys whoa his title is? His subject is what the deuce?
You guys really think it's the weather that the onauguous
because of the whether the inaugurations indoors, the guy got
shot in the ear that almost got shot at again,
whether my hairy white I'm not going to read that
they are taking chances, and I don't blame them. He
(16:10):
thinks it was moved inside for security purposes with the
chilly weather, a convenient excuse certainly could be.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't think that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Uh. Henry George Washington firmly believed in what he called
providence for his evidence of how things beyond man's power
allowed victory. He Lincoln became much more of a believer
during the Civil War, humbly praying to be on God's
side in a cynical age.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I question knowing God's plan. But Trump's story makes you wonder.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
If Trump had won in two thousand, he would have
been successful. I think he means twenty twenty he would
have been successful, but not making permanent changes. It's like
things had to get so off track, so bad that
we needed an incredible leader to wake up America with
the strength to blasts through the evil opposition.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It makes me wonder.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I don't think God Almighty's in the business of choosing
American candidates and presidents, and if he was, I'm not
sure what you Trump, but I see your point.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We almost had to have the last.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Four years to truly clean, the house of woke, open bordered, garbage, nonsense,
A lot of stuff happening at the border immediately, and
we should talk about that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's pretty interesting. That is some significant Day one stuff
inter on Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I returned to the presidency confident and optimistic that we
are at the start of a thrilling new era of
national success. I stand before you now as proof that
you should never believe that something is impossible to do
in America. The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So that was one aspect of the inaugural address that
was sandwiched with a very different aspect we'll talk about
in a second. That gave me the peanut, butter and
jelly of uncomfortable enjoyment like I've never.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Felt before for an augurial address. All the positive this
is America. We could do great stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I was like, holy cow, after being told we're racist, awful,
we're a force for bad around the world. We've never
done anything in the greatest country on earths.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I thought it was great, But for me, it was
the full return of the whole Trump thing bunch of
stuff yesterday that I freaking loved, absolutely freaking loved, and
then some things I freaking hated, yeah, which.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I want to give you.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
But the other side of the inaugural jest thing that
I was talking about was then to deliver just a
firm handed spanking of the previous administration as they sat.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
There and took it.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It was at once the one of the most like
positive let's go get them and like uncomfortable indictment y
speeches I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, side by side.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It was a new way to handle that. As John
Stewart said last time in The Daily Show, I'm not
sure Biden heard it any way, so it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I don't and I think that's actually true.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I don't know if Joe Biden could hear it or
comprehend what was going on, but Kamala could, and Hillary
and Bill could and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Broke Bill at this point just thought it was funny.
I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
And then okay, so I want to get to the
butt whipping part and then return to your theme of
stuff you love and stuff you hate. But this is
a nice montage of some of the h He might
as well have turned around and pointed a finger at
Biden and Harris moments.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop
all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the
constitutional rule of law. We will forge a society that
is color blind and merit based. There are only two genders,
(19:58):
male and female.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Are going to be changing.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf
of America. We will pursue our manifest Destiny into the Stars,
launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on
the planet Mars.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And part wasn't exactly an indictment of Biden, just the
gung ho let's do stuff. Ah, but I love that.
I loved all of that indictmenty stuff. It was just
weird and uncomfortable to have it an inauguration, But I'll get over.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
My favorite part of the day, as I already mentioned,
was the rolling Oval Office press conference as he signed
executive orders.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It lasted like an hour. I don't know how many
of you saw it. You should. You should find it.
It's on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I just checked to make sure every president should be
obligated to do this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
All presidents should do that.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah, if you're going to sign a whole bunch of
executive orders day one. Sit there with the press in
front of you. Of course, a Democrat wouldn't have a
hostile press. They'd all be, you know, people cheerleading everything
as opposed to questioning him on it. But sit there
with a hostile press, answered questions as you go along.
That's fantastic. I loved it as politics. I loved it
as theater.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I loved it his leadership, and it just it was
so Trump in that he governs looking toward the American
people for guidance to a very large extent. I mean,
the press makes a big deal about Elon Musk and
Vivek and who he's got around him in his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I tell you what his cabinet is.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
The cabinet is the American people to a large extent,
for good or ill, sometimes because the majority isn't always right.
And to your point, Jack, the things you love and
things you hate. The pardoning all of the J six
people I find horrific.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He said he was going to go case by case.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Some of the violent lunatics who were trying to kill
cops with flag poles shouldn't be pardoned for anything. There
were a lot of people who are over prosecuted and
they should be helped out. But two points Number one,
he has helpfully made the idea that we really need
to reform the pardon thing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Bipartisan.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Oh everyone kidd thinks both presidents yesterday were poster children
for the whole pardon thing needs.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
To be fixed.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
And secondly, unless unless you're just really in love with
a person or a presidential candidate, the then diagram of
who they are and what you like about them is
gonna have some areas that don't overlap. There are things
Trump doesn't says I can't stand. But I'll tell you what.
(22:29):
We needed a big fat change, and we're gonna get one.
Let's see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Let me tease a conversation about the January sixth pardons,
just because I got onto a thread on Twitter, and
usually you get into comments and you're just into the
sewer and there's no point. There was some really interesting
comments going both directions that I think you'll find illuminating
about the conversation. Things I hadn't thought of, and uh,
maybe we'll get to that now or two. I mean,
(22:54):
really good points of discussion around the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I'm really intrigued by that. I love that. And if
you're new to the show, for what it's worth.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
We will neither scream and cry that Trump is Hitler
and this is the worst outrage ever against the Republic,
nor will we pretend it's not happening or say it's wonderful.
In every regard, We'll try to understand the truth and
pass it along to you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But we'll get to that next hour.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So Peter Baker writes today in The New York Times,
eight years after his first inauguration, mister Trump looked a
little older, but if possible, even more sure of himself
as he takes power with more political wind at his
back thanks to a popular vote victory that eluded him
last time, in a better understanding of how to manipulate
the levers of government. So and Mark Alprin calls this
(23:35):
the greatest Mulligan in the history of Mulligan. Mulligan's Trump
getting back in office again. But so that's the New
York Times version and the Wall Street version Wall Street
Journal version similar. His first day and office showed that
he will continue to ping pong between the serious and
the stunning, participating in official Washington rituals one minute minute
and whipping up his devoted supporters the next. And while
(23:57):
former President Joe Biden was tightly managed by his advisors,
Trump has made it clear that he will resist efforts
by friends, allies, and advisors to constrain him.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's true, for better or worse.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Unlike in twenty seventeen, when Trump arrived in Washington as
an outsider with few political ties, this time he returns
with greater knowledge about how to pull the levers of government,
how to enact as agenda, and how to plow through
those who might stand in his way.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That is clearly true.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
He may have greatly benefited from losing in twenty and
getting to come back and try it now with the
you know, the hindsight of experience and new people and everything.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Especially you know, at risk of repeating myself, because the
past four years have illustrated so vividly how awful the
policies of progressives are for the country economically, in terms
of crime, in terms of our national character. That the
fake racism everywhere, and the DEI hires.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Kamala Harris among others. I mean, just it made it much.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It's much more solid ground upon which to leap toward
his policies that he prefers and that American voters preferred.
I mean, nobody can argue that we need to crack
down at the border. You could have something like a
discussion in twenty nineteen as to whether we need to
further crack down now place. It's eighty five to three
in the public opinion.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So after the inaugural address, he goes into a different
room in front of more maga people and has more
fun and is more freewheeling, for instance.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And then we went out to the helicopter that just
part of this and said goodbye and said custom in
the wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat
that she's wearing, she almost blew away.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We almost lost offer.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
She was being elevated off the ground.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
She almost blew away.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Now that hat got a lot of attention yesterday. Yeah,
not just everyone could wear that hat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
She could.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And while way too much was written about it in
various publications of this morning, I'm like, I don't care
who made it, Where can what felt it's made out
of him? How the original one got damaged and they
had to quickly reso another.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
This point was made, though, and it's true Malania got
treated like first ladies normally get treated by the mainstream
press yesterday talking about her outfit and not joking snarky ways,
more like you talk about first ladies.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
The whole thing is different. I guess because of his victory.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, I think so, well, Sureley, Yeah, And generally I
rolled my eyes at this sort of thing. But it
was said that it was kind of a symbol of
privacy and inaccessibility that hat, and I'll buy that. It
was like, all right, look, I'll do this some. But
I'm a mom, I'm not a politician.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Stay away from me.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I keep quoting John Stewart from The Daily Show, but
he was funny last night. She basically put a border
around her face. It's a border. You can't get past
this border either, Right, That's funny. But well before he
got into the meat the speech, Trump said this.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And I did have a couple of things.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
You're not just saying that we're extremely controversial and between
j D and Milania and anybody else that her. Please, sir,
it's such a beautiful, unifying speech. Please sir, don't say
these things. And I said, I'm telling you it's going
to play great. They say you're right.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
For this group of people, it's gonna play great. You're
the only ones I heard by not but we had
some beauties, didn't we.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Milania?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
She said, sir, cause me, sir, when she's angry, what No,
I'm only kidd I better say I'm only kidding. And
the press is going to pick that one up louded.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I love the way when you tells stories, everybody calls
him sir.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
People come to you.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Last night, I was making dinner for my kids, and
my kids came up and they said, sir, do we
have to have chicken nuggets again?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Sir? That is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I don't want to fully get into it here because
it's it's a bitch biting off a big chunk the
January sixth stuff. So I do want to hit a
couple of tweets to kick off hour two, and then
the responses, and each one of them is like a conversation,
go in both directions in ways I hadn't even thought
of love it. I think you'll find it illuminating. We
got Katie's headlines on the way. I also stay here, Kyle.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
I hope will look back in these years.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Hope you look back on him.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
The same pride I have of all you've done.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm proud.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I'm proud of it is that you did it a
folding the core values, honesty, decency, integrity.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, no scandal. I mean it's incredible what you did.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Joe Biden his last words before flying out of Washington,
d C. He's been a US senator since I was
a tiny kid, and he's finally leaving now claiming there
were no.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Scandals in his term? Are you kidding?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
He is non COMPASSMENTUS. He is not mentally competent to
handle his own affairs.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
So none of your personal stuff, not Afghanistan, not the
fact that you were senile the whole time and it's
been covered up by who knows how many people?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
No scandals? How do you say that with the story
you have.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
To be I was about to say syphilitic. He's not syphilitic.
He's maybe he's senile. Those are two completely different things.
You'd have to be senile to stand up there and
say out loud, no scandals. I mean you pulled it off.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
What he is a senile, congenital liar. So what a
fine final greeting card for him to send to us?
So we don't forget what and who Joe Biden was.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Kevin Williamson writing in the Dispatch today, and then we'll
get to Katie's headlines.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Biden is a lesser sort of man.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
He is a man who is dishonest from the beginning
of his political career to the end of it, including
in the matter of pardons.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, he is a backslapping mediocrity.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He is awful goodbye.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You could make the argument, certainly when history tells the
whole story of how his White House was being managed
by other people because he asso see now, you can
make the argument that it's the most scandalous white House
we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Since the president wasn't in charge. Yes, and just the
worst leadership.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
James Buchanan is smiling up from hell, thinking, man, I
might get off the bottom of the list the worst
presidents of the US on the exciting news. He says
to his wife, who I assume is in hell with
him for some reason.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
His wife calls him, sir, what does that, sir?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Not really? Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Katie all right, starting with Breitbart dot Com, Trump forsons
seventy eight of Biden's executive actions with a stroke of
a pen and with tremendous public support. Love this from
The Daily Mail, Trump brags about saving one trillion dollars
with the flick of his wrist before tossing pens into
a doring crowd at inauguration rally.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
What was the executive order that was going to save
Troy's Oh, that's the Green New Deal stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, we haven't talked about that yet. Believable, but yeah,
he threw out.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
His pens like guitar picks and concerts.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, but you know who else is to throw pens
to audiences?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Katie, Oh, boy, fuddy, Hey.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Politico left off of Biden's pardons list.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Jack Smith.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I don't think he's going to get prosecuted for anything.
The Department wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Mark Alperrin writes in his newsletter Today, Trump is much
less interested in revenge than his critics claim.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right from the Free Beacon.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Senate confirms Rubio in ninety nine to zero vote, cementing
Trump's first official cabinet member.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yep, you'll get a Marco. From The New York Post.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Ratings starved CNN's revenue dropped by roughly four hundred million
dollars in three years.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh my god, Cooper Anderson. Cooper's underwear was wet with excitement.
Oh overginning to talk about the January sixth Pardons last night,
they were thinking, we're.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Back, we have a ship, we have a chance, we
have a pulse. Don't sell the cameras yet, there's a chance.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
From ABC, two wildfires ignite in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
According to CalFire, Oh boy, didn't see that.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
And windy, yeah, really windy. Over the next couple of days.
From NBC, Palestinians celebrate release of ninety prisoners and detainees
held by Israel in first phase of ceasefire.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Speaking of Marco Rubio, can't wait till he starts weighing
in on where this whole thing is with the peace deal.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Here's where it is.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Hamas sent thousands of gunmen into Gaza to reassert their
control and to make it clear that they have gone
nowhere and they are still a potent force. The idea
that you can now have a peace deal and negotiate
is childish idiocy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
This isn't a meme.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Well it is a meme, but I don't know about
you guys. But I'm a really big fan of little, local,
home owned diners.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh sure, and.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
This is yeah, this is one of those illuminated signs
that you see outside and it says family dining since
nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
My favorite essential oil is bacon grease. And finally the
Babylon Bee with TikTok band China forced to spy on
Americans by hiding little tiny cameras in fortune cookies.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Ah, oh, that's sad's my DEI lecture told me that
was a microaggression.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Nobody cares anymore.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Something you said reminded me, and I don't know why.
So we all know about dry January, which I imagine if
you're doing, you're happy that it's only ten more days left,
but dry January. I heard somebody bring up no wine February,
but it's with an hwhiny No wine February or pick
a month where you don't whine about things, you try
(34:18):
not to whine about anything, complain about anything for a month.
That is a great one. I don't think I could
do it for a month, But what a great test that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Would be, What a thought provoking idea.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Yeah, I mean, obviously, if there's a problem. If your
dog has run out the front door into traffic, it's
okay to say something negative about that. But if it's paired,
I'm guessing because I haven't read about this, if it's
paired with a solution.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah, we all know the different things. I think we
all know that. That's different than whining. Bad things always
happen to me. It's always me. I mean, it's that
sort of weird yeah, or some blaming somebody else if
you left the door open, you know that sort of thing.
Just eliminating all that for a month, that's a good one.
No wine February. It's a good idea of picking a
(35:04):
short month with only twenty eight days.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Good. I don't like my chances. Yeah, I'd like to
know more about that. I'm absolutely intrigued by that.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
We have more from the inaugural address, the informal inaugural
or address junior than the third lengthy speech Trump gave
reaction to it, the j six pardons.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
All sorts of stuff, Yeah, all kinds of arguments around
that that you may not have thought of if you
miss it. Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show Katty Armstrong and
Jetty and Key.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Arms.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We go from the studio Ceez is a dimly lit
room where deep with in the bowels of the Armstrong
in getting communications compound, surrounded by a molten razor wire.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And today we're under the tutelage of our.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
General Manager, Donald J. Trump, Commander in chief by god.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Didn't take long to get into the controversy of the
new term, which is exciting. Sheeeselouise, can we have a
constitutional amendment? Nothing happens day one? I know it's part
of every damn campaigns about day one. I will no
no give us day one. Just to catch up breath,
you know, I was just I didn't catch much of
this yesterday. I was catching some of it today before
(01:17):
the show. I thought it was really cool. I wish
this would happen more often. If you're gonna do the
day one executive order thing, sit there signing them, surrounded
by reporters, answering questions the whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I love that. How great was that compared to you?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Just hear it in the news that they signed something
without explanation, or you don't get to ask any questions.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That was almost go ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
That was a throwback to the way Trump was compared to,
certainly Biden Harris, who never gave any nearing views how
much he would talk to the press.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Like him or not, he is not afraid to answer questions.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
If you missed it, Trump actually went to Capitol One Arena,
the Big Arena where the hockey and basketball teams play,
and in front of a giant crowd, explained what he
was signing and signed a bunch of executive orders, overturning
a lot of the garbage we all hated over the
last four years, and to roars of approval from the crowd.
And one of the most astute pieces of analysis I heard,
(02:14):
I'm pretty sure, was brit Human Fox News said, virtually
all of our just, wise and powerful leaders of the
past have governed from uh from the inside out. They
get together with their brain trust, they cook up policies
that will serve themselves and their cronies and sometimes America
(02:35):
then sell it to the American people. Trump just looks
around him and says, what do you want, and then he
signs it.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Popularism. Yeah, yeah, doing things that are popular. I will
never be a one hundred percent Trump honk.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I think he's a flawed guy, and we can get
into that at at you know, some point today. But
his orientation is truly to the people of the United States.
It's it's undeniable.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
So, Katie, where did you get that outfit you wore
for your big Trump party that you went to yesterday
that you send us the picture you had Trump stuff on, shoes, socks, pants,
shirt at It's an accumulation free Yeah, you have to
accumulate it over time. It's not sort of thing you
can tow together in one day.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
I had to pick between four different Trump hats, so
I wore the one that had the picture of him
right after he got shot with a fist in the
air that said fight.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Right there you go. I had a T.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Shirt on where if you pull down the breast pocket breast.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's Trump's sexual harassment.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Oh yeah, well call hr it's Trump flipping everybody off.
Then I had my Trump's sweatshirt on, and then I
stole my husband's Trump socks of him doing the YMCA dances,
and then my shoes were just American flags.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Those I wear those every year for fourth of duly oh,
and today you're rocking the I'm voting for the Felon hat.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Yes, along with my armstrong and getting hooey. I have
no shame anymore. Want to be mad at me, I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Walking billboard, yep, I'm in here's my favorite dumb thing
of the day. There are some some stuff that's actually
controversial that I look forward to talking about. The dumbest
controversy of the day, though, was Elon Musk's Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Have you been following that good? Yes? Yes, horrified?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
You know, with all due respect to the horrors of
the Nazi regime. I saw a headline a couple of
days ago the Taiwanese military. There's a controversy because they
do a stiff legged march, and some in the West
believe that's reminiscent of the Nazi goots step. Look, with
all due respect to the horrors of the Nazi regime,
can we just quit with the your lock and Nazi
(04:43):
in any in any unless somebody is sporting a swastika
and saying horrible things about the Jews, please.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Number one, it's a cliche. It's embarrassing. Nazi Germany.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
First of all, that right, sure, that's your best, with
all due respect, with all due respect to the horrifying
Nazi regime. Uh yeah, So Elon Musk, if he didn't
see it, he was all excited and emotional and he
like pats.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
His chest and sticks his arm in the air like
wave to the crowd. I love you. He's saying, I
love you and everything like that.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
But you take a picture or or watch it out
of context, and it looks similar to what Hitler would.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Do and others would do, yes, Katie well.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
And and how quick everyone is to jump all over him.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But he is on the spectrum in.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Minute, right, he does have the mannerisms of that whole thing,
but autism.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You can say it out loud. So there are I've
got him in my phone here.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I got a bunch of screen captures of people taking
it completely seriously, but like not just that, not what
Joe was suggesting there, that it's reminiscent of a Nazi salute,
that it was just flat out or Nazi salute.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Here. This is from NPR or PBS news.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yesterday, billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a
fascist salute.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Monday, while making a speech, they just stated it a
stupid child to be quiet that adults are talking.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That was linked by an historian who teaches at some
fancy university history. I'm a historian of fascism here. That
was a Nazi salute, and a very belligerent one too,
says your history. Stupid child, be quiet, the adults are talking.
N AOC and a bunch of other people just flat
out stating he gives a Nazi salute?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Are people not bothered by this? So there's nothing?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And then I liked the blowback of all the pictures
of everybody else you can practically come up with, I'm
doing it right.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Now with my hand, jider, my arm.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
If you always a Nazi, Michael, he's an right now.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
But there's pictures of Hilary with their arm like that.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Ender and Kamala Harrison, Joe Biden and the Barack Obama
and everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
With all due respect to my with all due respect,
here's the good news. My screed wasn't even needed because
they have reached the point they've so beclowned them themselves
that at this point they claim, look at that, that
looks like a Nazi salute. And if the three hundred
and forty million of US in America, three hundred and
thirty nine million said that's stupid, shut up. You can
(07:11):
get a million people to pretend to be outraged by
something that's stupid, it no longer has any currency. It's
like if somebody says something perfectly reasonable, you're a racist.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's a systemic racism.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
The vast majority of US now know, well, I didn't
give a crap, but now no, it's okay to say, yeah,
that's not racism at all.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Be quiet. What I'm shocked.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Hasn't happened, and it should have happened years ago. I
would think after the election it would happen. If I'm
a progressive, I get together and like, you know, somebody
with some haft. If I'm a progressive with some half
fat progressive, I'm a fat progressive. Usually we're vegans and
we're very fit. We get up early in the morning,
ride our bikes. No, I mean, I'm a progressive. People
(07:53):
would listen to. I want to gather together all the
historians that go on TV and all you know, whoever
else it tweets, and all the people online everything like that,
say look, you're doing more harm than good. So if
you want to spend the day complaining about Trump pardoning
the J six people, fine, let's make that argument. You
start talking about a Hitler salute like that, and you
(08:14):
get dismissed by everybody and nobody hears our other arguments.
That's what I would say if I were a progressive. Well, right,
you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
They just can't help themselves because that's the only tool
in their toolkit. Like before I understood Neo Marxism and
what the DEI crowd was actually trying to do. We
said many times, don't you understand by calling everything racist
all the time, you're giving cover to actual racists, you're
harming your cause, not understanding that their cause wasn't anything
(08:44):
to do with racism. It was to take control of
institutions by shaming people and calling them racist.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So yeah, this is the same.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Although this is to me either, I think it's elite bubble.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Misreading of the American peace people.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
They, I think a lot of them actually believe when
they say, look at Elon Musk, he's straightened his arm.
That's just like a Nazi, so he's a Nazi. They
actually believe America is responding with, oh my god, you're right,
thanks for warning us and.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Not derisive laughter. Oh my god, god, what clowns.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
So the abl who stands up for people saying we're
doing bad things against the Jews against it, Yeah, stands
up against people doing bad things to or saying bad
things about the Jews.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
They came out and said they didn't think much.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You know, they weren't worried about it. They were neutral
on the whole Nazi salute from Elon Musk. Sure AOC
retweeted that and said, just to be clear, you're defending
a highle hit salute, hile Hitler salute that was performed
and repeated for emphasis and clarity, people can officially stop
listening to you as any sort of reputable source of
Thank you for making it clear to everyone. Yeah, go
(10:03):
whip us up a sandwich. We just signed to America. Oh,
I ask the same question I always ask, does she
believe that? Does she believe Elon Musk? I would think
if you're a Nazi, you'd try to hide it a
little more than do it in form of the basketball
stadium full of people. I'm gonna try to slip in
a quick Nazi salute. Right, hope nobody notices. Now you've
(10:28):
almost got the right question. The question is not whether
she believes it. The question is does she believe Americans
believe it? Her constituents, Democrats, people in general.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You're right, and because she considers it herself so smart,
she can manipulate everybody.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Else, and a lot of the people of Brooklyn probably
do believe it. So we should start to show officially.
I'm going to slip in a Nazi salute. I think
I can get away with it. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, January twenty first,
the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program.
One more point. I was sweking down water and couldn't
make it in time. Looking back across the history of
Nazism and neo Nazism up to the current day, Nazis.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Can't wait to tell you they're Nazis. They tell you
the minute you meet them. They wear it on their shirts,
they weave flags. You don't have to sniff from out.
They'll tell you I'm a Nazi. They'll say, oh boy,
that's gonna end up as a clip. Ah, No, that's
probably not a good idea. All right, let's begin to
(11:31):
show officially, according to.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
FCC Rules of Regulations, brand new term, day one two
one and a half of the new Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Here we go at mark.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The golden age of America begins right now. From this
day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
We will be the envy of every nation, and we
will not.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During
every single day of the Trump administration, I will very
simply put America first.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Hooray.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Well, that was the inaugural address, the official one. He
left there and went and gave another speech, and that
one was really jazzy, and you probably didn't hear a
lot of that, so we'll play you some clips. He
actually said at the end of it, this was better
than my speech. I gave up there certainly longer.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Uh, Peter Doucy just asked President Trump in the Oval office,
have you reinstalled the diet coke button? And he has
so he does once again have the electronic button. He
can press it and get a diet coke sent to
him immediately. I actually read about that.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
In with the old, in with the new, out with
the old.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
In the Oval office swapping out portraits and statues and
all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It's more interesting than I.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Expected it to be. They don't have much time to
do it either. How does mail bag look? It's fine,
it's good, but it's pretty jazzy. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We got lots of jazzy stuff.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Golden Age of mail bags that's on the way in
our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
A unanimous vote in the Senate last night. I didn't
look to see if it was ninety nine or one hundred.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Marco Rubio said he considered voting for himself though that's
normally not done. But a unanimous vote in the Senate
to confirm his as the Secretary of State, and he
was just sworn in, And that might be the thing
I'm most excited about with this new term, is a
Marco Rubio handling the whole China Middle East thing?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, that should be interesting. I'm about worn out on speeches.
We need less freedom of speeches. I like freedom of speech,
but we need a limited number of speeches. It's a
subtle difference. So your freedom loving Quote of the day
is actually from Donald J. Trump yesterday. The Golden Age
of a America begins right now. We'll see, and we
don't discuss the tone of the speech, the specifics of it.
(14:06):
The ass whoopan he gave the old guys while they
sat there and took it, all of it looking.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Forward to that. I guess I understand.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Hillary laughed when he said he was going to change
the Gulf of Mexico through the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I did not see that myself, but I heard that
yet Ida laughed too. That's funny. JG. And livermore frequent correspondent.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
In defense of Trump's inaugural speech, years of being told
by Democrats in office that Trump was an illegitimate president,
an actual conspiracy in its first term by some of
the people in institutions he should have been able to
rely on, like the FBI and DOJ leakers, anonymous whistleblowers,
almost a decade of being called a fascist, being compared
to Hitler, being blamed for the January sixth ride, even
though he offered additional security and told him to be peaceful.
(14:56):
Two bogus impeachments, well one bogus law that currently has
him owing half a billion dollars, facing the loss of
his business license, on and on egos. Sometimes I admire
people who can turn the other cheek and remain completely statesmen,
like in the face of terrible insults. But sometimes, like now,
I really really want my leader to speak on my
behalf and speak truth to power. I squirmed while Trump
(15:17):
was unloading on the Biden presidency, while at the same
time feeling like Biden got off easy because he's been
shielded from such criticism by four years of a syncophatic
media and democratic party built around an army of sheeple.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What he said?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
John Stewart last night said he was playing clips from
the day and when the Biden's invited the Trumps into
the White House. John Stewart said, You're gonna go have
tea with the guy you called Hitler.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Garrick in the People's Republic of Davis, California. Rights You
guys whoa his title is? His subject is what the deuce?
You guys really think it's the weather that the onauguous
because of the whether the inaugurations indoors, the guy got
shot in the ear that almost got shot at again,
whether my hairy white I'm not going to read that
they are taking chances, and I don't blame them. He
(16:10):
thinks it was moved inside for security purposes with the
chilly weather, a convenient excuse certainly could be.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't think that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
No.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Uh. Henry George Washington firmly believed in what he called
providence for his evidence of how things beyond man's power
allowed victory. He Lincoln became much more of a believer
during the Civil War, humbly praying to be on God's
side in a cynical age.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I question knowing God's plan. But Trump's story makes you wonder.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
If Trump had won in two thousand, he would have
been successful. I think he means twenty twenty he would
have been successful, but not making permanent changes. It's like
things had to get so off track, so bad that
we needed an incredible leader to wake up America with
the strength to blasts through the evil opposition.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It makes me wonder.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I don't think God Almighty's in the business of choosing
American candidates and presidents, and if he was, I'm not
sure what you Trump, but I see your point.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We almost had to have the last.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Four years to truly clean, the house of woke, open bordered, garbage, nonsense,
A lot of stuff happening at the border immediately, and
we should talk about that.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's pretty interesting. That is some significant Day one stuff
inter on Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I returned to the presidency confident and optimistic that we
are at the start of a thrilling new era of
national success. I stand before you now as proof that
you should never believe that something is impossible to do
in America. The impossible is what we do best.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So that was one aspect of the inaugural address that
was sandwiched with a very different aspect we'll talk about
in a second. That gave me the peanut, butter and
jelly of uncomfortable enjoyment like I've never.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Felt before for an augurial address. All the positive this
is America. We could do great stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I was like, holy cow, after being told we're racist, awful,
we're a force for bad around the world. We've never
done anything in the greatest country on earths.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
I thought it was great, But for me, it was
the full return of the whole Trump thing bunch of
stuff yesterday that I freaking loved, absolutely freaking loved, and
then some things I freaking hated, yeah, which.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I want to give you.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
But the other side of the inaugural jest thing that
I was talking about was then to deliver just a
firm handed spanking of the previous administration as they sat.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
There and took it.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It was at once the one of the most like
positive let's go get them and like uncomfortable indictment y
speeches I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, side by side.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
It was a new way to handle that. As John
Stewart said last time in The Daily Show, I'm not
sure Biden heard it any way, so it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I don't and I think that's actually true.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I don't know if Joe Biden could hear it or
comprehend what was going on, but Kamala could, and Hillary
and Bill could and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Broke Bill at this point just thought it was funny.
I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
And then okay, so I want to get to the
butt whipping part and then return to your theme of
stuff you love and stuff you hate. But this is
a nice montage of some of the h He might
as well have turned around and pointed a finger at
Biden and Harris moments.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop
all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the
constitutional rule of law. We will forge a society that
is color blind and merit based. There are only two genders,
(19:58):
male and female.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Are going to be changing.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf
of America. We will pursue our manifest Destiny into the Stars,
launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on
the planet Mars.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And part wasn't exactly an indictment of Biden, just the
gung ho let's do stuff. Ah, but I love that.
I loved all of that indictmenty stuff. It was just
weird and uncomfortable to have it an inauguration, But I'll get over.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
My favorite part of the day, as I already mentioned,
was the rolling Oval Office press conference as he signed
executive orders.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It lasted like an hour. I don't know how many
of you saw it. You should. You should find it.
It's on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I just checked to make sure every president should be
obligated to do this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
All presidents should do that.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Yeah, if you're going to sign a whole bunch of
executive orders day one. Sit there with the press in
front of you. Of course, a Democrat wouldn't have a
hostile press. They'd all be, you know, people cheerleading everything
as opposed to questioning him on it. But sit there
with a hostile press, answered questions as you go along.
That's fantastic. I loved it as politics. I loved it
as theater.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I loved it his leadership, and it just it was
so Trump in that he governs looking toward the American
people for guidance to a very large extent. I mean,
the press makes a big deal about Elon Musk and
Vivek and who he's got around him in his cabinet.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I tell you what his cabinet is.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
The cabinet is the American people to a large extent,
for good or ill, sometimes because the majority isn't always right.
And to your point, Jack, the things you love and
things you hate. The pardoning all of the J six
people I find horrific.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
He said he was going to go case by case.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Some of the violent lunatics who were trying to kill
cops with flag poles shouldn't be pardoned for anything. There
were a lot of people who are over prosecuted and
they should be helped out. But two points Number one,
he has helpfully made the idea that we really need
to reform the pardon thing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Bipartisan.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Oh everyone kidd thinks both presidents yesterday were poster children
for the whole pardon thing needs.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
To be fixed.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
And secondly, unless unless you're just really in love with
a person or a presidential candidate, the then diagram of
who they are and what you like about them is
gonna have some areas that don't overlap. There are things
Trump doesn't says I can't stand. But I'll tell you what.
(22:29):
We needed a big fat change, and we're gonna get one.
Let's see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Let me tease a conversation about the January sixth pardons,
just because I got onto a thread on Twitter, and
usually you get into comments and you're just into the
sewer and there's no point. There was some really interesting
comments going both directions that I think you'll find illuminating
about the conversation. Things I hadn't thought of, and uh,
maybe we'll get to that now or two. I mean,
(22:54):
really good points of discussion around the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I'm really intrigued by that. I love that. And if
you're new to the show, for what it's worth.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
We will neither scream and cry that Trump is Hitler
and this is the worst outrage ever against the Republic,
nor will we pretend it's not happening or say it's wonderful.
In every regard, We'll try to understand the truth and
pass it along to you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But we'll get to that next hour.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So Peter Baker writes today in The New York Times,
eight years after his first inauguration, mister Trump looked a
little older, but if possible, even more sure of himself
as he takes power with more political wind at his
back thanks to a popular vote victory that eluded him
last time, in a better understanding of how to manipulate
the levers of government. So and Mark Alprin calls this
(23:35):
the greatest Mulligan in the history of Mulligan. Mulligan's Trump
getting back in office again. But so that's the New
York Times version and the Wall Street version Wall Street
Journal version similar. His first day and office showed that
he will continue to ping pong between the serious and
the stunning, participating in official Washington rituals one minute minute
and whipping up his devoted supporters the next. And while
(23:57):
former President Joe Biden was tightly managed by his advisors,
Trump has made it clear that he will resist efforts
by friends, allies, and advisors to constrain him.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's true, for better or worse.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Unlike in twenty seventeen, when Trump arrived in Washington as
an outsider with few political ties, this time he returns
with greater knowledge about how to pull the levers of government,
how to enact as agenda, and how to plow through
those who might stand in his way.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That is clearly true.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
He may have greatly benefited from losing in twenty and
getting to come back and try it now with the
you know, the hindsight of experience and new people and everything.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Especially you know, at risk of repeating myself, because the
past four years have illustrated so vividly how awful the
policies of progressives are for the country economically, in terms
of crime, in terms of our national character. That the
fake racism everywhere, and the DEI hires.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Kamala Harris among others. I mean, just it made it much.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It's much more solid ground upon which to leap toward
his policies that he prefers and that American voters preferred.
I mean, nobody can argue that we need to crack
down at the border. You could have something like a
discussion in twenty nineteen as to whether we need to
further crack down now place. It's eighty five to three
in the public opinion.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So after the inaugural address, he goes into a different
room in front of more maga people and has more
fun and is more freewheeling, for instance.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And then we went out to the helicopter that just
part of this and said goodbye and said custom in
the wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat
that she's wearing, she almost blew away.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We almost lost offer.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
She was being elevated off the ground.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
She almost blew away.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Now that hat got a lot of attention yesterday. Yeah,
not just everyone could wear that hat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
She could.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And while way too much was written about it in
various publications of this morning, I'm like, I don't care
who made it, Where can what felt it's made out
of him? How the original one got damaged and they
had to quickly reso another.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
This point was made, though, and it's true Malania got
treated like first ladies normally get treated by the mainstream
press yesterday talking about her outfit and not joking snarky ways,
more like you talk about first ladies.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
The whole thing is different. I guess because of his victory.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, I think so, well, Sureley, Yeah, And generally I
rolled my eyes at this sort of thing. But it
was said that it was kind of a symbol of
privacy and inaccessibility that hat, and I'll buy that. It
was like, all right, look, I'll do this some. But
I'm a mom, I'm not a politician.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Stay away from me.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
I keep quoting John Stewart from The Daily Show, but
he was funny last night. She basically put a border
around her face. It's a border. You can't get past
this border either, Right, That's funny. But well before he
got into the meat the speech, Trump said this.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
And I did have a couple of things.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
You're not just saying that we're extremely controversial and between
j D and Milania and anybody else that her. Please, sir,
it's such a beautiful, unifying speech. Please sir, don't say
these things. And I said, I'm telling you it's going
to play great. They say you're right.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
For this group of people, it's gonna play great. You're
the only ones I heard by not but we had
some beauties, didn't we.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Milania?
Speaker 7 (27:30):
She said, sir, cause me, sir, when she's angry, what No,
I'm only kidd I better say I'm only kidding. And
the press is going to pick that one up louded.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I love the way when you tells stories, everybody calls
him sir.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
People come to you.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Last night, I was making dinner for my kids, and
my kids came up and they said, sir, do we
have to have chicken nuggets again?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Sir? That is hilarious.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I don't want to fully get into it here because
it's it's a bitch biting off a big chunk the
January sixth stuff. So I do want to hit a
couple of tweets to kick off hour two, and then
the responses, and each one of them is like a conversation,
go in both directions in ways I hadn't even thought
of love it. I think you'll find it illuminating. We
got Katie's headlines on the way. I also stay here, Kyle.
Speaker 8 (28:27):
I hope will look back in these years.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Hope you look back on him.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
The same pride I have of all you've done.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm proud.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I'm proud of it is that you did it a
folding the core values, honesty, decency, integrity.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, no scandal. I mean it's incredible what you did.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Joe Biden his last words before flying out of Washington,
d C. He's been a US senator since I was
a tiny kid, and he's finally leaving now claiming there
were no.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Scandals in his term? Are you kidding?
Speaker 5 (29:03):
He is non COMPASSMENTUS. He is not mentally competent to
handle his own affairs.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
So none of your personal stuff, not Afghanistan, not the
fact that you were senile the whole time and it's
been covered up by who knows how many people?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
No scandals? How do you say that with the story
you have.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
To be I was about to say syphilitic. He's not syphilitic.
He's maybe he's senile. Those are two completely different things.
You'd have to be senile to stand up there and
say out loud, no scandals. I mean you pulled it off.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
What he is a senile, congenital liar. So what a
fine final greeting card for him to send to us?
So we don't forget what and who Joe Biden was.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Kevin Williamson writing in the Dispatch today, and then we'll
get to Katie's headlines.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Biden is a lesser sort of man.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
He is a man who is dishonest from the beginning
of his political career to the end of it, including
in the matter of pardons.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, he is a backslapping mediocrity.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
He is awful goodbye.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You could make the argument, certainly when history tells the
whole story of how his White House was being managed
by other people because he asso see now, you can
make the argument that it's the most scandalous white House
we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Since the president wasn't in charge. Yes, and just the
worst leadership.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
James Buchanan is smiling up from hell, thinking, man, I
might get off the bottom of the list the worst
presidents of the US on the exciting news. He says
to his wife, who I assume is in hell with
him for some reason.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
His wife calls him, sir, what does that, sir?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Not really? Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Katie all right, starting with Breitbart dot Com, Trump forsons
seventy eight of Biden's executive actions with a stroke of
a pen and with tremendous public support. Love this from
The Daily Mail, Trump brags about saving one trillion dollars
with the flick of his wrist before tossing pens into
a doring crowd at inauguration rally.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
What was the executive order that was going to save
Troy's Oh, that's the Green New Deal stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, we haven't talked about that yet. Believable, but yeah,
he threw out.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
His pens like guitar picks and concerts.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, but you know who else is to throw pens
to audiences?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Katie, Oh, boy, fuddy, Hey.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Politico left off of Biden's pardons list.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Jack Smith.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
I don't think he's going to get prosecuted for anything.
The Department wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Mark Alperrin writes in his newsletter Today, Trump is much
less interested in revenge than his critics claim.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right from the Free Beacon.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Senate confirms Rubio in ninety nine to zero vote, cementing
Trump's first official cabinet member.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yep, you'll get a Marco. From The New York Post.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Ratings starved CNN's revenue dropped by roughly four hundred million
dollars in three years.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Oh my god, Cooper Anderson. Cooper's underwear was wet with excitement.
Oh overginning to talk about the January sixth Pardons last night,
they were thinking, we're.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Back, we have a ship, we have a chance, we
have a pulse. Don't sell the cameras yet, there's a chance.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
From ABC, two wildfires ignite in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
According to CalFire, Oh boy, didn't see that.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
And windy, yeah, really windy. Over the next couple of days.
From NBC, Palestinians celebrate release of ninety prisoners and detainees
held by Israel in first phase of ceasefire.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Speaking of Marco Rubio, can't wait till he starts weighing
in on where this whole thing is with the peace deal.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Here's where it is.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Hamas sent thousands of gunmen into Gaza to reassert their
control and to make it clear that they have gone
nowhere and they are still a potent force. The idea
that you can now have a peace deal and negotiate
is childish idiocy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
This isn't a meme.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Well it is a meme, but I don't know about
you guys. But I'm a really big fan of little, local,
home owned diners.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh sure, and.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
This is yeah, this is one of those illuminated signs
that you see outside and it says family dining since
nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Quote.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
My favorite essential oil is bacon grease. And finally the
Babylon Bee with TikTok band China forced to spy on
Americans by hiding little tiny cameras in fortune cookies.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Ah, oh, that's sad's my DEI lecture told me that
was a microaggression.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Nobody cares anymore.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Something you said reminded me, and I don't know why.
So we all know about dry January, which I imagine if
you're doing, you're happy that it's only ten more days left,
but dry January. I heard somebody bring up no wine February,
but it's with an hwhiny No wine February or pick
a month where you don't whine about things, you try
(34:18):
not to whine about anything, complain about anything for a month.
That is a great one. I don't think I could
do it for a month, But what a great test that.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Would be, What a thought provoking idea.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Yeah, I mean, obviously, if there's a problem. If your
dog has run out the front door into traffic, it's
okay to say something negative about that. But if it's paired,
I'm guessing because I haven't read about this, if it's
paired with a solution.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah, we all know the different things. I think we
all know that. That's different than whining. Bad things always
happen to me. It's always me. I mean, it's that
sort of weird yeah, or some blaming somebody else if
you left the door open, you know that sort of thing.
Just eliminating all that for a month, that's a good one.
No wine February. It's a good idea of picking a
(35:04):
short month with only twenty eight days.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Good. I don't like my chances. Yeah, I'd like to
know more about that. I'm absolutely intrigued by that.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
We have more from the inaugural address, the informal inaugural
or address junior than the third lengthy speech Trump gave
reaction to it, the j six pardons.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
All sorts of stuff, Yeah, all kinds of arguments around
that that you may not have thought of if you
miss it. Gets the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
