Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Jettie and he arms get it.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
From the studio. See you are a dimly lit room
deep with them the Bowels or the Armstrong and Getty
Communications Compound. Hey, it's Tuesday, and we're under the tuteline
of our general manager. Everything everywhere, all the time. Wow,
it's like that movie.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's a conceptual general Manager. I know how you love
the Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'm just looking at everything going on and everything we're
supposed to be like.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Briveted by too much.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We have now tied for the second longest shutdown in
government history, and I for one, am devastated.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So I think that's one of the reasons it's going
to keep dragging on. Is just it happened so many
times that people are just like, what, there's still a government.
I don't even know that unless you're a government worker,
and then it's a thing, you know, and you might
misspaycheck and all that sort of thing. But if you're not,
it's just nothing. Nobody's talking about it, nobody's paying.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Intention, right.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I read the always funny and snarky Andrews Styles and
the Free Beacon yesterday. I almost kept it around, but
he said something snarky about how nobody's paying attention to
the uh the shutdown because it's boring and nobody cares
and it's just political theater and everybody knows it, and
even the mainstream big papers aren't reporting on it.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And I thought, really, And I went.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
To the Washington Post and I scrolled like seven eight
stories down and there was nothing on it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yet I'm sure they covered it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
New York Times has been on it a bit because
they're still trying to, you know, cast Trump as the
villain in it. But yeah, even a lot of them
bigfoot media is like, yeah, this is stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Anyway, the second longest one ever. So I did hear
somebody saying it could go for.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The record, come on, America, Well, that would put us
into two more weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
There was some talk that they could extend till Thanksgiving
because of the way the Congress breaks for holidays and
stuff like that. You have you have air travel disrupted
over the busiest traveling week of the year, and that
will get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Oh yeah, well not only that, but people missing out
on seeing their loved ones or having their get togethers
cut short and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
That hurts.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I mean that really hurts. I'm lay to a business meeting.
That's inconvenient. I got to make apologies.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Blah blah blah. I don't get to see my kid.
That's the track.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
New York Times number one story, government shut down with
no clear end poses new economic threat. All right, Speaking
of airports, how about that mass shooting that they stopped
at the busiest airport in the world.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The Atlanta Airport yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, it looks like this guy his plan was he
brought some very deadly guns and lots of bullets and
was going to walk in there when it was busy
and just start killing people like people do now. And
then somehow I still don't quite understand the story of
how his relatives knew he was going to do this
(03:27):
or all that, but heard something crazy, ugly was going
to happen, to the point.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That you called the police and knewim.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Anyway, the cops spotted him walk in, went overstarted question him,
then put him on the ground, went and checked his truck.
Sure enough, there's the guns, there's the bullets. But it
looked like he went in there to see okay, lots
of long lines, was going to go back out to
his truck, get his gun.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And start killing people. Good lord, I know, good lord.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's just it's so crazy to think about how many
people in that airport at that time, five people, ten,
twenty people who lived rather than died because of that
tip off. It's just stunning to think about.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, and another unhappy loser who decided to commit suicide,
but his suicide would not be noted, would not be noticed,
nobody would care unless he can do something spectacular, taking
several people along with him. That's the new you know,
Overton window possibility for angry losers. Yeah, the suicide is
(04:31):
the point, and that's the way he wanted to go out. Man,
that is just horrifying. Glad they caught him, though, Maybe well,
we move beyond this.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Maybe we'll get better at recognizing, you know, that person,
a friend of mine, relative, whatever, has got serious mental
problems in they're talking about killing Charlie Kirker, shooting nobody,
airporter whatever it was, and will be more on top
of it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I hope so, and or it goes away as quickly
as it came mysteriously. One of the most interesting things
I've observed in my lifetime a couple of things is
the well, of course, the social contagion of transgenderism, especially
among adolescent girls. It's those numbers are plunging now. If
you didn't hear we talked about that last week, I
(05:14):
think it was because it's a social contagion, entirely a fad,
although this fad led to people taking powerful castrating chemicals
and mutilating their bodies, sorifying. But it was pointed out
in discussing that the anorexia social contagion there for a while.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, I can't remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
The nineties maybe where anorexia among adolescent girls just exploded
and then it just went away.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I went away completely.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
It's a terrible condition, but it went away by you know,
the numbers it became. It went back to being a
very very small people group of people with a very
serious problem.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah. I don't know how you stopped that from catching
on and becoming the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I realized hope is not a plan, But I
hope this social contagent somehow meets a similar end.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I don't know how I've talked many times about the
book The bomb Maker's Club. I think the Dynamite Club.
It was about people blowing stuff up in late eighteen hundreds,
early nineteen hundreds, and then it went away. But it
was a fad for a while over the world, and
it was just like, how are.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We going to stop this? And it just went.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Away as a social contagent. It's weird. That's not studied
enough or understood enough. Did you see that Japan elected
this ultra right conservative woman as their first female head
of the country.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I was just reading about that for first prime minister. Yeah.
I was listened to.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
NPR's coverage of it, and of course they went identity politics,
because that's what the left does, and their point was,
it's a woman for the first time, but she's voting
just like the men. Her attitudes are the same of
the men, so no progress made, So no progress made.
So a first female prime minister, ever, in one of
the most powerful countries on Earth, doesn't count unless she
(07:08):
takes the attitudes that NPR thinks a woman should have
to have.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How do you like that?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Women, you're not allowed to think for yourself. You have
to have a certain set of beliefs or it doesn't
count as a woman.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That's so crazy. Do you get it now?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's not about diversity, right, It's about people who think
like them. It's the same way as your Barry Wise,
a lesbian center lefty, the first LGB t q I
a LMOP plus minus over the power three to ever
run a major newte No, you didn't hear a single
word about it because she's not a super progressive.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's not about diversity. That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's like when that Larry Elder was running for governor
in California as a conservative and no credit for anything
of being black there. It's just he use the black
face of white supremacy or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He who's called bland La times right, that's just so crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Only white men get to make their own decisions. Everybody
else you have to vote your group or you're not.
You don't get any credit for your being part of
your group.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's the real white privilege, especially among men, is everybody thinks,
oh no, they'll look at the candidates and the issues
and they'll decide which candidate is best for them. Everybody else,
you're supposed to vote in blocks like sheep. Otherwise you're
the wrong sort of hispanic, you don't count as a woman.
You're not a fully fledged lesbian. Right identity politics is
(08:33):
one of the most insulting, disgusting things ever introduced by mankind.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
My God, reject it, please, it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
This first female Prime Minister of Japan. Among the things
she believes, she's against gay marriage. I mean, she's not
gonna be able to outlaw it, but she doesn't believe
in gay marriage. She doesn't think. She's against the idea
of two names between a married couple. You need to
take the man's name. She doesn't really Yeah, all kinds
of stuff like that. She's very traditional. Yeah, I don't.
(09:01):
I don't care about those things.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I want Japan to build up a formidable military because
they're gonna need it.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't really care. But when you come across a
couple who she stayed with her name, you don't do it.
There's not just a little bit of a hm. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I don't judge. I'm not a judgmental person. My thing
is what else comes with that package? That's usually what
I think.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That particular instance doesn't bother me, but I'm thinking what
else comes with that package?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The fabulous Katie Grand Katie.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
The bizarre thing that I saw recently online were men
taking women's last names.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, that's what I just that's a weird one. I
just realized that all they're taking, if you know what
I'm saying. Uh wow, I just realized that recently with
White Stripes, Jack White's last name is something else he took.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He took the drummers last name when they got married.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Falls in the purse. Well right, that's why I think
what else comes with that package? That's not the only
thing here going on? Who is the quarterback and who's
the receiver?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then wow, wow, I wouldn't say that. Pictures catcher size, Yeah,
I get it. Let's start the show mental whatever. Now
that we've ever works for it, done that damage, let's
start to show officially.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getti on it is Tuesday,
October twenty first there, twenty twenty five or Armstrong and
getting we approved of this program.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh, speaking of pictures and catchers, I wish the Mariners
had been a little more effective. Condolences to the c
Tech area fans.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How disappointing. I was root and hard for him. What
are you gonna do.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Congratulations Blue Jays and Toronto and the good people. George Springer,
what a home run, America's fifty first state.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What all right? Let's be in now. Officially according to
FCC rules of rights, here we go at.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Mark aw Wes serves thirty seven percent of the cloud
computing market. It is the number one cloud services provider.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is also.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Amazon's biggest money maker. So in total, just from the
outage that we saw, one expert told me that he
estimates the financial impact of this is going to be
in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So that was news to me yesterday. I had no idea.
What's the percentage of websites they're part of amazons Amazon's
running thirty seven?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Said?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Who knew? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I remember a buddy of mine in tech told me
a while back that Joe Amazon is a web company.
It has a little retail operation as kind of a side.
I didn't know that at all. They're nearly forty percent
of the websites. That's their big money maker.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Who knew that?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I'll be darn And so if they go down, that's
what China little tack. Amazon's web center probably, and it
was said.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
To be a fairly mundane technical update problem, not a
Chinese hack. Of course, that's the sort of thing you
would say, Yeah, that could that could be true or
not true. They were they going to admit that they
got hacked by China and have the stock price go
down or whatever, or let China know whatever, and or
the White House might have reached out he said, hey,
keep this quiet, blaming some sort of technical glitch sayer
(11:59):
on top of it. We're working hard on you know,
operation you know, pandamits or whatever, and then we don't
want it out and it might be the smart thing
to do to to not let us know, right right, Yeah,
I'll let the spooks worry about that.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
We got Katy's headlines on the way, lots of good
stuff to talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
What was it? There was one one teaser, one of the.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Most important and persuasive pieces of analysis of how America
is going sideways and why that's come along in a
long time. We're going to share that with you an
hour or two. It is fairly mind blowing. Yeah, I
can't wait to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And phase two of the whole peace negotiation in the
Middle East thing, I guess hasn't been getting enough attention.
Phase two is a difficult one. We'll run through that
a little bit later. Katie's headlines. Next, stay here across
a really lot of good interesting stuff today. Hopefully it'll
be a good interesting show and not just you know,
(13:00):
replicating boring talking points about the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Or whatever else the mainstream media is doing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Eh, if you want that, go elsewhere. Plenty of place
right here, Plenty of places to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Get bab bab by.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
A lot of great stuff to talk about. Let's figure
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katy Green.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Katie Jack. No joke today, No oh wow? What I
gotta beat an?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I feel like you need a buzzer if you forget
now We'll start with ABC. Like you guys were talking
about man arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot up Atlanta Airport.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, man, he had an AR fifteen in his truck,
lots of rounds of ammunition. Went in to see where
all the long lines were. Would have been easy pickings.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Man. Glad that didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
From the New York Times on Ukraine and Russia, lots
of talk, but little has changed.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yes, I'm still mystified by Trump's approach. Don't get it,
you know, Mark Halprin said in his newsletter today. He said, uh,
quoting Donald Rumsfeld, you make heaes with the dictator you have,
not the dictator you want. I think suggesting that this
is the only way you're gonna get a deal with
Booten is the given up land or whatever. He ain't
gonna give up otherwise. I mean, you can talk about
(14:13):
what's right and wrong and everything that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
From bright bar dot com, Trump's DHS arrests more than
four hundred and eighty thousand illegals in nine months, seven
and ten are criminally convicted or charged.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's pretty good percentage. Yeah, that On that note.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
From the New York Post, Don Lemon urges quote black
and brown people to buy guns during illegal immigration crackdowns.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Well, aparently Don Lemon's still alive. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
From the Associated Press, massive Amazon cloud outage has been
resolved after disrupting entire Internet use worldwide.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, I wonder what caused it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
From Reuters, Trump downplays Taiwan risk in China talks and
expects a fair trade deal.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
All right, that's a positive, happy talk. That's the Trump method.
That's fine. Our relationship with China is going to be
impossible and difficult, you know what I mean, now until forever,
and at some point they're gonna move on Taiwan and
the world ain't gonna do nothing.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That'd be my guest.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Wow, wow, terrible that he's given up the demographic problems
in China.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Was just reading about them again. They're astonishing. You can't
even believe those numbers are true. We'll hit that in
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
From the Washington Examiner, national average gas prices fall below
three dollars a gallon, the lowest since twenty twenty, the.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Lowest sense before the pandemic from the baby drill.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah, this one from study fines size doesn't matter. Walking
style can make smaller men appear just as intimidating as
larger ones.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I will have to find that very interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I spent a fair amount of time in big cities
in my teenage years in early adulthood, and I know
that they teach you walk like you are not to
be messed with because criminals are cowards they want easy victims.
So yeah, I can believe that.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee homeless man
made fun of by all the other homeless men for
not having an iPhone seventeen.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I like that one because I live in it down
with a lot of street people that all have cell phones.
I was going to tell my street person story the
other day. I'm on the corner of the other day.
This guy, dirty toothless, there's no shoes and socks, sitting there,
playing in old beat up guitar and sounds great.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I thought, why is this guy a better guitar player
than me? It was so maddening. That is that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
His life's a complete rock, But he's a better guitar
player than me.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
After all. Yeah, I feel your pain. We'll let to
tank you on some of the stories coming up side.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Top of the order to the fluids is George Springer
at the plate, tied round the score position.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Eduard Bizardo on the pitch left field, a Rosa.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
What is it go?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was an exciting home run.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
George Springer of the Houston Astros, who was the MVP
back then.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I knew he was gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Because is what he did every single time, and back
when they were turns out, they were also pretty good. Yeah,
those use stats stars because they had a lot of
big hits and home runs this playoff series for different
teams as they got spread around. He had to be
liking that so he could get out of the cloud
because he hit He hit the record for most home
runs in a World Series back in twenty seventeen five,
(18:16):
and and he you know, he always had the cloud
over his head of yeah, because you got you knew
what the calls were going to be, you.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Know what the bitches were going to be. Then he
can hit a little. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I just hate to have a foreign team in the
World Series, Canadians that are mostly Dominicans in Venezuelans. Yeah,
they're exactly they're not exactly plucky upstarts. They do have
the fifth highest payroll, but even with the fifth highest payroll,
they're one hundred and fifty million less than the Dodgers. Yeah,
that's how much difference series between the Dodgers and everybody else. Anyway,
(18:49):
your World Series starts on Friday in Toronto, because Toronto
had a bit of record. I just saw up on
the TV France feeling humiliated after Louver.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I guess they are.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
That is well, Jimmy Fallon had the joke last night,
why is the toothpaste at the CBS locked up better
than the loop, which is a deasy question. You gotta
get somebody to get with, get a key to get
my toothpaste. Here the loop, you can just walk in
the window.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
France and Britain are just they're sad sacks of countries.
They're that friend that you see at the twentieth Reunion
that things are not going well at all, and you
keep a brave face and you smile and say you
turn it around.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I know you, and you think, oh god, oh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Boy, and you're walking your car. You realize he sleeps
in his car. That's France. That's France. Yeah, a man
even protect your crown jewels.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A national humiliation. So that's rough.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Speaking of foreign countries, a couple of international things to
catch you up on. As I mentioned the whole Russia
Ukraine thing. So this is from Politico, so Up said
over the weekend, why I don't know. He talked to
Putin on the phone and then he tells Zelensky, sorry,
you don't get the Tomahawk missiles. And I think you
should give up some of your land to end this thing. Well,
(20:11):
the top diplomat from the EU does not agree. He
said yesterday, guy who's in making the decisions for the EU,
if we just give away the territories, then this gives
a message to everybody that you can just use force
against your neighbors and get what you want. I think
this is very dangerous. That's why we have international law
in the first place, so that people don't do that.
(20:31):
I would agree with him if you were making more
of an effort to stop it from happening.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I mean, those are nice.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Words, but hey, EU, where are you enforcing some sort of.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
End to this war?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You're unhappy with the way the United States across the
ocean is handling this.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Every time I'm reminded of that, I get so annoyed
with Europe because it's absolutely appropriate speaking of our sad
sax squo chums Europe, because that's absolutely true. At the
same time, your first point was true. And that's that's
one thing that bothers me about Trump. I mean, he
really really is into making deals and in the Middle
(21:12):
East thing, which you know, remains to be seen how
that comes out. That's not his fault. He does not
worry about old assumptions and conventional thinking that sort of thing.
To his credit, absolutely, but the one thing I fault
him for is he looks too much at deals as
as you know, without the context that in isolation, yeah, exactly,
(21:36):
that you cannot appease aggression like that, or you're going
to get a lot more.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's not just about the particulars of that deal.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And and you know, there are times that he's like, yeah,
we're we're gonna withdraw that aid, or the US isn't
gonna do that, or we're going to pull out of
that treaty. And I don't think he thinks enough about
the fact that that's our credibility on the line as
a country. Country's only jump on our team if they
think we're there for the long haul, that we're not
gonna be mercurial about it. Otherwise they've bet on China
(22:07):
because China say no, you just yeah, you're gonna be
our little brother.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But yeah, well we'll stick with you.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And hey, Europe, it's if the United States pushes for
giving up the land, it's your land that's gonna get
grabbed up the next time, So maybe you.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Want to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But we are so weak we have had this socialism
paid for by.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Your security umbrella. We don't know what to do now.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
France, which is spending itself into oblivion, is like, hey,
can we like move the retirement age.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I don't know, like three weeks later. Oh no, there's strikes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
In the streets and riots and fires and the stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're doomed.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You can't even keep Napoleon the Third's crown from being stolen.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You know, when I was in London, in the Tower London,
I should have just walked out with the crown on
my head. That's little. You're Europe. You're stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
E'rerope so stupid, should a miss the opportune You're Europe
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Dumber the better.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And then in the other war that Trump gets credit for,
probably get the Nobel Peace Prize for this, depending on
how it turns out, got a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Phase two. It's gonna turn out, but go ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Phase two, which they're talking about now. I don't see
how any of these are gonna happen. New government in Gaza.
This is of a nineteen point plan or twenty point
planer r heck is this is just phase two. New
government in Gaza all right, Well that's that's a very
handy four words. That is a lot harder to do
(23:47):
than say, creation of a stabilization force.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It's like saying to your.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Spouse, you know we're having trouble payer bills. I've got
an idea. First you become a heart surgeon. Looks like
the old what uh Steve Martin joke from way back
in the seventies, how to become a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
First get a million dollars. It's exactly the same sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, creation of a stabilization force another for words, that's
a lot easier said than done. Okay, who are the
countries going to be? Who's sending how many troops? With
what rules of engagement? Right? And well here's the headline
for you. Let me see if I can come up
with it really quickly. Hang on a second, I'm close.
(24:33):
I'm getting close. All right, never mind it said essentially,
country is hesitant to send troops, fearful of engaging with
hamas it's still a hot war zone. And as I
said the other day, this peacekeeping force is not going
to be a bunch of blue helmets cruising around. It
is going to be people with guns drawn ready and
they will be engaged in battle more than once.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And the whole rules of engagement things not a minor decision.
Do you get to do as a bunch of I
don't know, Indonesians, Egyptians, Jordanians, I don't know whatever the
Saudi Arabian forces?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You firing back at people? Or what are you doing anyway?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And now, yeah, here's the headline from the New York Times,
Nations hesitate to send troops to Gaza, fearing clashes with
hamas your sub had. The Trump Peace Plan calls for
an international security force in the Gaza trip, but countries
that might send troops are wary of danger, an unclear
mission and being seen as occupiers.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah, yep, yep, that's a problem. So step one, get
a new government in Gaza. Okay, who's supposed to form that?
Speaker 4 (25:39):
How?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
How would you even start? Well? Who would even start that?
And then how who? Who? The Peace Commission headed by Trump? Right?
All right, okay, who are you gonna put in charge? You?
And you you know you're.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Gonna have some interviews. They're gonna go to glassdoor or
what are you call it? The job of a website? Yeah,
you know LinkedIn putting that they'll go to LinkedIn. That's right,
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So you just say, you two your president, you're vice president,
or do you want to have a parliamentary system your
president and your prime minister, or do you want to
have one of those systems or the president's most powerful
of the prime ministers of both Barbara or whatever kind
of what do you want to have here?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean that's where they are.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I mean, haven't got the slightest ideal kind of government
they're going to have or who's going to be involved
in it? Okay, so you got new government in Gaza,
creation of stabilization for us, which is just who knows what?
And then step three, there's only three steps in the
phase two. It shouldn't be that hard. Step three disarming
her moss. Okay, we'll just make a bunch of dead
end or nihilist people who who'd rather be dead than
(26:44):
alive because they think they're going to get to all
the virgins, give up their.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Guns, and I solve the one problem. I figured it out.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I was thinking, all right, if you were to put
an ad on next door one of the job websites,
or are you looking at the next door looking for
president of Gaza right temporary leader and calmer downer of Gaza.
You need must own bulletproof vest some you need great
administrative abilities, organizational abilities like a CEO. And you need
(27:15):
to be absolutely comfortable with whoop and ass ladies and gentlemen.
Dana White, Dana White, Sure he'd love that job of
the Mixed Martial arts fame. A friend to President Trump,

good matchups all year. Anyway, you should download the price

It's good to be right. I've been more optimistic on
this whole Middle East thing than Joe than negative Nelly.
Joe Getty can't do Guy has been on the Middle
East pross. But then I look at this phase two
and I think, how would any of these three things happen?
(28:53):
I can't even imagine how possibly even like well with
the look in reality, I feel like a unicorn like attitude.
How do I see how any of these three things
could happen in less than a century? Hamas will never
disarm and give up on wiping out Israel. Hell, the
(29:16):
college kids, the college kids right now, I've got a
story on that for later. The angry little simpleton jackass,
brainwashed arrested adolescent American college students yelling about the river.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
To the sea.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
They want they want Hamas to keep fighting.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Please.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The only way this ends is when Hamas is decimated.
Israel struck a great deal to get the hostages home.
Hammas thought, all right, we can buy a little time.
Otherwise they're gonna decimate us right now. Time is at
least we can try to figure out another strategy.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Okay, TikTok, TikTok. That time is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Going by now and it's back, so the decimating that
is the only choice, says me. How to become a millionaire?
First get a million dollars. It's exactly the same sort
of thing. We've got email on the way.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Joe's got this mind blowing thing that I'm looking forward
to myself about our culture that I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Stay tuned if you're a man or a woman, because
it is all about the dynamics between males and females.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Fascinating, trust me, awesome, we got all that today.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
If you miss a segment get the podcast Armstrong a
Getty on demand. Oh Boy concert that my son wanted
to go to, that we didn't go to because the
timing rasons that there were so many fights the other
night they had to cancel the concert.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I'm glad we didn't go to see Boy. To see Luliyati?
Is that a yacht rock act? I love that, Michael McDonald.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Not excuttle boat.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Here's your freedom loving Quotes of the day, Continuing on
our series of the Great Chinese Warrior son Su, Victorious
warriors win first and then go to war. Well, defeated
warriors go to war first and then seek to win,
which is similar to us is saying the supreme arti
ort is to subdue the enemy without fighting. America is
(31:23):
so big and dumb and naive and friendly. We say,
we really want to be your friend. We'd happy to
be your friend. We'd like to be your friend. If
you don't be our friend, we're gonna pounced you on
the head. But we real really like to be friends.
The Chinese way, and this is entrined and a lot
of the greatest Chinese wisdom is deception is the way
to dominate you deceive your opponent into thinking you're their friend,
(31:45):
and that's not seen as some sort of sin or
something bad.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
That's seen as smart.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Also reminds me of our old producer Sean saying of
you know who wins a fight the first person who
realizes they're in a fight.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, and China realizes they're a fight, We do not
well and back to the sun too quote China is
making all sorts of efforts to win the war before
the fight starts, by subterfusion, all sorts of other methods.
Mailbag probs note mailbag at Armstrong yet in getty dot
(32:20):
com again, that's Armstrong in getty dot com. Greg writes
Greg with two g's at the end. That's three total.
How many g's are enough?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Greg? Congratulations Katie. The heartbeat means everything.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Late in the show yesterday or midway through, we played
the audio of Katie's baby's heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
It's fantastic, Thank you, Greg, gigagey do we have that
handy there?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
It is?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That's wonderful. What do you do officially, Katie? I'm due
on May. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
But he writes the heart heartbeat means everything, and he
describes how when he and his wife first got pregnant,
the first ultrasound didn't detect a heartbeat, uh, and they
were just so stressed and heartbroken after the after waiting
a couple of months, they tried again and everything was great.
And he said, hearing that heartbeat brought back to joy
and relief we had now twenty four years ago. Our
(33:13):
son is an awesome twenty four year old young man.
Couldn't be more proud of it, happy to have That's awesome.
And then they said.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Something nam did dan da n n O? Jeez, wow wow,
or what would it be anyway?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Then he says something so powerfully simple and simply powerful.
He says, the heartbeat means there is life, and I
help you enjoy him as much as we do ours. Yeah,
the heartbeat means there is life. Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Denying that, so clear, one hundred thousand true obviously, Yeah,
how could you possibly deny that? And then the fact, see,
this is something guys or birthing persons only get to understand.
I'll never know what it's like to have life inside me.
I barely have life.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
As it is right right, just a bitter empty space. Anyway,
let's see, moving along, to the politics.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Tim.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Right, Tim is harshly critical of us every day. Practically,
you guys helped elect a man child, Thanks ever so much?
Right well, Tim, your side ran a dei higher moron,
So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Having had to abandon your dimension ridden old man? Right?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
So, okay, this is interesting from Ad Jason sending along
the actual Craigslist job posting for the protest. This happens
to be in the capitol California. You've seen, ex Sacramento,
the birthplace of the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
But yeah, no, King's anti.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Trump protest of a sales team, cash paid and it
explains where you need to be and how much you
can make for showing up to the protest. It's George
Soros money and that sort of thing at work. Let's see,
on the topic of the New York mayor race. I've
never been to a protest. I was thinking about this yesterday.
What what cause would get me out to actually leave
(35:14):
my home. We've spoken, we went to tea party events, yeah,
because we were asked to speak at them or whatever.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But yeah, I've never on my own own gone to
a protest. You're too passive. You're the problem.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Anyway, the stick is writing about the New York mayor's
race and how Mamdani could possibly have this party does
but he, like a couple of other emailers, have mentioned
a poll that showed and here's my point in bringing
this up, forty two percent of Americans were not aware
that Lay's potato chips are made from potatoes which are.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Grown in the ground.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, there's little obfuscation going on here. It's in the name. Well,
they didn't know that potatoes grow underground. I guess I
didn't see the poll, but.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, these troubled times, obviously ignoramus. Your potato knowledge is embarrassing.
How do you get through the day? Well, I guess
we're kind of out of time, aren't we. Nick in
Minnesota with a great shot at jack. Maybe we can
get to that later. We're gonna kick off next hour
with a brilliant bit of thinking about why America has
(36:25):
gone sideways.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Don't miss it, Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Jettie and he arms get it.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
From the studio. See you are a dimly lit room
deep with them the Bowels or the Armstrong and Getty
Communications Compound. Hey, it's Tuesday, and we're under the tuteline
of our general manager. Everything everywhere, all the time. Wow,
it's like that movie.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's a conceptual general Manager. I know how you love
the Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'm just looking at everything going on and everything we're
supposed to be like.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Briveted by too much.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We have now tied for the second longest shutdown in
government history, and I for one, am devastated.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
So I think that's one of the reasons it's going
to keep dragging on. Is just it happened so many
times that people are just like, what, there's still a government.
I don't even know that unless you're a government worker,
and then it's a thing, you know, and you might
misspaycheck and all that sort of thing. But if you're not,
it's just nothing. Nobody's talking about it, nobody's paying.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Intention, right.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I read the always funny and snarky Andrews Styles and
the Free Beacon yesterday. I almost kept it around, but
he said something snarky about how nobody's paying attention to
the uh the shutdown because it's boring and nobody cares
and it's just political theater and everybody knows it, and
even the mainstream big papers aren't reporting on it.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And I thought, really, And I went.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
To the Washington Post and I scrolled like seven eight
stories down and there was nothing on it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yet I'm sure they covered it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
New York Times has been on it a bit because
they're still trying to, you know, cast Trump as the
villain in it. But yeah, even a lot of them
bigfoot media is like, yeah, this is stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Anyway, the second longest one ever. So I did hear
somebody saying it could go for.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The record, come on, America, Well, that would put us
into two more weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
There was some talk that they could extend till Thanksgiving
because of the way the Congress breaks for holidays and
stuff like that. You have you have air travel disrupted
over the busiest traveling week of the year, and that
will get people's attention.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Oh yeah, well not only that, but people missing out
on seeing their loved ones or having their get togethers
cut short and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
That hurts.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I mean that really hurts. I'm lay to a business meeting.
That's inconvenient. I got to make apologies.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Blah blah blah. I don't get to see my kid.
That's the track.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
New York Times number one story, government shut down with
no clear end poses new economic threat. All right, Speaking
of airports, how about that mass shooting that they stopped
at the busiest airport in the world.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The Atlanta Airport yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, it looks like this guy his plan was he
brought some very deadly guns and lots of bullets and
was going to walk in there when it was busy
and just start killing people like people do now. And
then somehow I still don't quite understand the story of
how his relatives knew he was going to do this
(03:27):
or all that, but heard something crazy, ugly was going
to happen, to the point.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That you called the police and knewim.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Anyway, the cops spotted him walk in, went overstarted question him,
then put him on the ground, went and checked his truck.
Sure enough, there's the guns, there's the bullets. But it
looked like he went in there to see okay, lots
of long lines, was going to go back out to
his truck, get his gun.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And start killing people. Good lord, I know, good lord.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's just it's so crazy to think about how many
people in that airport at that time, five people, ten,
twenty people who lived rather than died because of that
tip off. It's just stunning to think about.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, and another unhappy loser who decided to commit suicide,
but his suicide would not be noted, would not be noticed,
nobody would care unless he can do something spectacular, taking
several people along with him. That's the new you know,
Overton window possibility for angry losers. Yeah, the suicide is
(04:31):
the point, and that's the way he wanted to go out. Man,
that is just horrifying. Glad they caught him, though, Maybe well,
we move beyond this.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Maybe we'll get better at recognizing, you know, that person,
a friend of mine, relative, whatever, has got serious mental
problems in they're talking about killing Charlie Kirker, shooting nobody,
airporter whatever it was, and will be more on top
of it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I hope so, and or it goes away as quickly
as it came mysteriously. One of the most interesting things
I've observed in my lifetime a couple of things is
the well, of course, the social contagion of transgenderism, especially
among adolescent girls. It's those numbers are plunging now. If
you didn't hear we talked about that last week, I
(05:14):
think it was because it's a social contagion, entirely a fad,
although this fad led to people taking powerful castrating chemicals
and mutilating their bodies, sorifying. But it was pointed out
in discussing that the anorexia social contagion there for a while.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, I can't remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
The nineties maybe where anorexia among adolescent girls just exploded
and then it just went away.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I went away completely.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
It's a terrible condition, but it went away by you know,
the numbers it became. It went back to being a
very very small people group of people with a very
serious problem.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah. I don't know how you stopped that from catching
on and becoming the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well, I realized hope is not a plan, But I
hope this social contagent somehow meets a similar end.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I don't know how I've talked many times about the
book The bomb Maker's Club. I think the Dynamite Club.
It was about people blowing stuff up in late eighteen hundreds,
early nineteen hundreds, and then it went away. But it
was a fad for a while over the world, and
it was just like, how are.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
We going to stop this? And it just went.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Away as a social contagent. It's weird. That's not studied
enough or understood enough. Did you see that Japan elected
this ultra right conservative woman as their first female head
of the country.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I was just reading about that for first prime minister. Yeah.
I was listened to.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
NPR's coverage of it, and of course they went identity politics,
because that's what the left does, and their point was,
it's a woman for the first time, but she's voting
just like the men. Her attitudes are the same of
the men, so no progress made, So no progress made.
So a first female prime minister, ever, in one of
the most powerful countries on Earth, doesn't count unless she
(07:08):
takes the attitudes that NPR thinks a woman should have
to have.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How do you like that?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Women, you're not allowed to think for yourself. You have
to have a certain set of beliefs or it doesn't
count as a woman.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That's so crazy. Do you get it now?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's not about diversity, right, It's about people who think
like them. It's the same way as your Barry Wise,
a lesbian center lefty, the first LGB t q I
a LMOP plus minus over the power three to ever
run a major newte No, you didn't hear a single
word about it because she's not a super progressive.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's not about diversity. That's a lie.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
It's like when that Larry Elder was running for governor
in California as a conservative and no credit for anything
of being black there. It's just he use the black
face of white supremacy or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He who's called bland La times right, that's just so crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Only white men get to make their own decisions. Everybody
else you have to vote your group or you're not.
You don't get any credit for your being part of
your group.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's the real white privilege, especially among men, is everybody thinks,
oh no, they'll look at the candidates and the issues
and they'll decide which candidate is best for them. Everybody else,
you're supposed to vote in blocks like sheep. Otherwise you're
the wrong sort of hispanic, you don't count as a woman.
You're not a fully fledged lesbian. Right identity politics is
(08:33):
one of the most insulting, disgusting things ever introduced by mankind.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
My God, reject it, please, it's horrible.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
This first female Prime Minister of Japan. Among the things
she believes, she's against gay marriage. I mean, she's not
gonna be able to outlaw it, but she doesn't believe
in gay marriage. She doesn't think. She's against the idea
of two names between a married couple. You need to
take the man's name. She doesn't really Yeah, all kinds
of stuff like that. She's very traditional. Yeah, I don't.
(09:01):
I don't care about those things.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I want Japan to build up a formidable military because
they're gonna need it.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't really care. But when you come across a
couple who she stayed with her name, you don't do it.
There's not just a little bit of a hm. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I don't judge. I'm not a judgmental person. My thing
is what else comes with that package? That's usually what
I think.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That particular instance doesn't bother me, but I'm thinking what
else comes with that package?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The fabulous Katie Grand Katie.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
The bizarre thing that I saw recently online were men
taking women's last names.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, that's what I just that's a weird one. I
just realized that all they're taking, if you know what
I'm saying. Uh wow, I just realized that recently with
White Stripes, Jack White's last name is something else he took.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He took the drummers last name when they got married.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Falls in the purse. Well right, that's why I think
what else comes with that package? That's not the only
thing here going on? Who is the quarterback and who's
the receiver?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And then wow, wow, I wouldn't say that. Pictures catcher size, Yeah,
I get it. Let's start the show mental whatever. Now
that we've ever works for it, done that damage, let's
start to show officially.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getti on it is Tuesday,
October twenty first there, twenty twenty five or Armstrong and
getting we approved of this program.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh, speaking of pictures and catchers, I wish the Mariners
had been a little more effective. Condolences to the c
Tech area fans.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How disappointing. I was root and hard for him. What
are you gonna do.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Congratulations Blue Jays and Toronto and the good people. George Springer,
what a home run, America's fifty first state.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What all right? Let's be in now. Officially according to
FCC rules of rights, here we go at.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Mark aw Wes serves thirty seven percent of the cloud
computing market. It is the number one cloud services provider.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is also.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Amazon's biggest money maker. So in total, just from the
outage that we saw, one expert told me that he
estimates the financial impact of this is going to be
in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So that was news to me yesterday. I had no idea.
What's the percentage of websites they're part of amazons Amazon's
running thirty seven?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Said?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Who knew? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I remember a buddy of mine in tech told me
a while back that Joe Amazon is a web company.
It has a little retail operation as kind of a side.
I didn't know that at all. They're nearly forty percent
of the websites. That's their big money maker.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Who knew that?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I'll be darn And so if they go down, that's
what China little tack. Amazon's web center probably, and it
was said.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
To be a fairly mundane technical update problem, not a
Chinese hack. Of course, that's the sort of thing you
would say, Yeah, that could that could be true or
not true. They were they going to admit that they
got hacked by China and have the stock price go
down or whatever, or let China know whatever, and or
the White House might have reached out he said, hey,
keep this quiet, blaming some sort of technical glitch sayer
(11:59):
on top of it. We're working hard on you know,
operation you know, pandamits or whatever, and then we don't
want it out and it might be the smart thing
to do to to not let us know, right right, Yeah,
I'll let the spooks worry about that.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
We got Katy's headlines on the way, lots of good
stuff to talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
What was it? There was one one teaser, one of the.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Most important and persuasive pieces of analysis of how America
is going sideways and why that's come along in a
long time. We're going to share that with you an
hour or two. It is fairly mind blowing. Yeah, I
can't wait to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And phase two of the whole peace negotiation in the
Middle East thing, I guess hasn't been getting enough attention.
Phase two is a difficult one. We'll run through that
a little bit later. Katie's headlines. Next, stay here across
a really lot of good interesting stuff today. Hopefully it'll
be a good interesting show and not just you know,
(13:00):
replicating boring talking points about the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Or whatever else the mainstream media is doing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Eh, if you want that, go elsewhere. Plenty of place
right here, Plenty of places to.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Get bab bab by.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
A lot of great stuff to talk about. Let's figure
out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katy Green.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Katie Jack. No joke today, No oh wow? What I
gotta beat an?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I feel like you need a buzzer if you forget
now We'll start with ABC. Like you guys were talking
about man arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot up Atlanta Airport.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, man, he had an AR fifteen in his truck,
lots of rounds of ammunition. Went in to see where
all the long lines were. Would have been easy pickings.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Man. Glad that didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
From the New York Times on Ukraine and Russia, lots
of talk, but little has changed.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yes, I'm still mystified by Trump's approach. Don't get it,
you know, Mark Halprin said in his newsletter today. He said, uh,
quoting Donald Rumsfeld, you make heaes with the dictator you have,
not the dictator you want. I think suggesting that this
is the only way you're gonna get a deal with
Booten is the given up land or whatever. He ain't
gonna give up otherwise. I mean, you can talk about
(14:13):
what's right and wrong and everything that I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
From bright bar dot com, Trump's DHS arrests more than
four hundred and eighty thousand illegals in nine months, seven
and ten are criminally convicted or charged.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's pretty good percentage. Yeah, that On that note.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
From the New York Post, Don Lemon urges quote black
and brown people to buy guns during illegal immigration crackdowns.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Well, aparently Don Lemon's still alive. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
From the Associated Press, massive Amazon cloud outage has been
resolved after disrupting entire Internet use worldwide.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, I wonder what caused it.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
From Reuters, Trump downplays Taiwan risk in China talks and
expects a fair trade deal.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
All right, that's a positive, happy talk. That's the Trump method.
That's fine. Our relationship with China is going to be
impossible and difficult, you know what I mean, now until forever,
and at some point they're gonna move on Taiwan and
the world ain't gonna do nothing.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
That'd be my guest.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Wow, wow, terrible that he's given up the demographic problems
in China.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Was just reading about them again. They're astonishing. You can't
even believe those numbers are true. We'll hit that in
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
From the Washington Examiner, national average gas prices fall below
three dollars a gallon, the lowest since twenty twenty, the.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Lowest sense before the pandemic from the baby drill.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah, this one from study fines size doesn't matter. Walking
style can make smaller men appear just as intimidating as
larger ones.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I will have to find that very interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I spent a fair amount of time in big cities
in my teenage years in early adulthood, and I know
that they teach you walk like you are not to
be messed with because criminals are cowards they want easy victims.
So yeah, I can believe that.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
And finally, this one from the Babylon Bee homeless man
made fun of by all the other homeless men for
not having an iPhone seventeen.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I like that one because I live in it down
with a lot of street people that all have cell phones.
I was going to tell my street person story the
other day. I'm on the corner of the other day.
This guy, dirty toothless, there's no shoes and socks, sitting there,
playing in old beat up guitar and sounds great.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I thought, why is this guy a better guitar player
than me? It was so maddening. That is that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
His life's a complete rock, But he's a better guitar
player than me.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
After all. Yeah, I feel your pain. We'll let to
tank you on some of the stories coming up side.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Top of the order to the fluids is George Springer
at the plate, tied round the score position.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Eduard Bizardo on the pitch left field, a Rosa.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
What is it go?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was an exciting home run.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
George Springer of the Houston Astros, who was the MVP
back then.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I knew he was gonna do that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Because is what he did every single time, and back
when they were turns out, they were also pretty good. Yeah,
those use stats stars because they had a lot of
big hits and home runs this playoff series for different
teams as they got spread around. He had to be
liking that so he could get out of the cloud
because he hit He hit the record for most home
runs in a World Series back in twenty seventeen five,
(18:16):
and and he you know, he always had the cloud
over his head of yeah, because you got you knew
what the calls were going to be, you.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Know what the bitches were going to be. Then he
can hit a little. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I just hate to have a foreign team in the
World Series, Canadians that are mostly Dominicans in Venezuelans. Yeah,
they're exactly they're not exactly plucky upstarts. They do have
the fifth highest payroll, but even with the fifth highest payroll,
they're one hundred and fifty million less than the Dodgers. Yeah,
that's how much difference series between the Dodgers and everybody else. Anyway,
(18:49):
your World Series starts on Friday in Toronto, because Toronto
had a bit of record. I just saw up on
the TV France feeling humiliated after Louver.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I guess they are.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
That is well, Jimmy Fallon had the joke last night,
why is the toothpaste at the CBS locked up better
than the loop, which is a deasy question. You gotta
get somebody to get with, get a key to get
my toothpaste. Here the loop, you can just walk in
the window.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
France and Britain are just they're sad sacks of countries.
They're that friend that you see at the twentieth Reunion
that things are not going well at all, and you
keep a brave face and you smile and say you
turn it around.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I know you, and you think, oh god, oh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Boy, and you're walking your car. You realize he sleeps
in his car. That's France. That's France. Yeah, a man
even protect your crown jewels.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A national humiliation. So that's rough.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Speaking of foreign countries, a couple of international things to
catch you up on. As I mentioned the whole Russia
Ukraine thing. So this is from Politico, so Up said
over the weekend, why I don't know. He talked to
Putin on the phone and then he tells Zelensky, sorry,
you don't get the Tomahawk missiles. And I think you
should give up some of your land to end this thing. Well,
(20:11):
the top diplomat from the EU does not agree. He
said yesterday, guy who's in making the decisions for the EU,
if we just give away the territories, then this gives
a message to everybody that you can just use force
against your neighbors and get what you want. I think
this is very dangerous. That's why we have international law
in the first place, so that people don't do that.
(20:31):
I would agree with him if you were making more
of an effort to stop it from happening.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I mean, those are nice.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Words, but hey, EU, where are you enforcing some sort of.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
End to this war?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You're unhappy with the way the United States across the
ocean is handling this.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Every time I'm reminded of that, I get so annoyed
with Europe because it's absolutely appropriate speaking of our sad
sax squo chums Europe, because that's absolutely true. At the
same time, your first point was true. And that's that's
one thing that bothers me about Trump. I mean, he
really really is into making deals and in the Middle
(21:12):
East thing, which you know, remains to be seen how
that comes out. That's not his fault. He does not
worry about old assumptions and conventional thinking that sort of thing.
To his credit, absolutely, but the one thing I fault
him for is he looks too much at deals as
as you know, without the context that in isolation, yeah, exactly,
(21:36):
that you cannot appease aggression like that, or you're going
to get a lot more.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's not just about the particulars of that deal.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And and you know, there are times that he's like, yeah,
we're we're gonna withdraw that aid, or the US isn't
gonna do that, or we're going to pull out of
that treaty. And I don't think he thinks enough about
the fact that that's our credibility on the line as
a country. Country's only jump on our team if they
think we're there for the long haul, that we're not
gonna be mercurial about it. Otherwise they've bet on China
(22:07):
because China say no, you just yeah, you're gonna be
our little brother.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But yeah, well we'll stick with you.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And hey, Europe, it's if the United States pushes for
giving up the land, it's your land that's gonna get
grabbed up the next time, So maybe you.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Want to do something about it.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But we are so weak we have had this socialism
paid for by.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Your security umbrella. We don't know what to do now.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
France, which is spending itself into oblivion, is like, hey,
can we like move the retirement age.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I don't know, like three weeks later. Oh no, there's strikes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
In the streets and riots and fires and the stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They're doomed.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You can't even keep Napoleon the Third's crown from being stolen.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You know, when I was in London, in the Tower London,
I should have just walked out with the crown on
my head. That's little. You're Europe. You're stupid.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
E'rerope so stupid, should a miss the opportune You're Europe
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Dumber the better.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And then in the other war that Trump gets credit for,
probably get the Nobel Peace Prize for this, depending on
how it turns out, got a long way to go.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Phase two. It's gonna turn out, but go ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Phase two, which they're talking about now. I don't see
how any of these are gonna happen. New government in Gaza.
This is of a nineteen point plan or twenty point
planer r heck is this is just phase two. New
government in Gaza all right, Well that's that's a very
handy four words. That is a lot harder to do
(23:47):
than say, creation of a stabilization force.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It's like saying to your.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Spouse, you know we're having trouble payer bills. I've got
an idea. First you become a heart surgeon. Looks like
the old what uh Steve Martin joke from way back
in the seventies, how to become a millionaire.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
First get a million dollars. It's exactly the same sort
of thing.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, creation of a stabilization force another for words, that's
a lot easier said than done. Okay, who are the
countries going to be? Who's sending how many troops? With
what rules of engagement? Right? And well here's the headline
for you. Let me see if I can come up
with it really quickly. Hang on a second, I'm close.
(24:33):
I'm getting close. All right, never mind it said essentially,
country is hesitant to send troops, fearful of engaging with
hamas it's still a hot war zone. And as I
said the other day, this peacekeeping force is not going
to be a bunch of blue helmets cruising around. It
is going to be people with guns drawn ready and
they will be engaged in battle more than once.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And the whole rules of engagement things not a minor decision.
Do you get to do as a bunch of I
don't know, Indonesians, Egyptians, Jordanians, I don't know whatever the
Saudi Arabian forces?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You firing back at people? Or what are you doing anyway?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And now, yeah, here's the headline from the New York Times,
Nations hesitate to send troops to Gaza, fearing clashes with
hamas your sub had. The Trump Peace Plan calls for
an international security force in the Gaza trip, but countries
that might send troops are wary of danger, an unclear
mission and being seen as occupiers.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah, yep, yep, that's a problem. So step one, get
a new government in Gaza. Okay, who's supposed to form that?
Speaker 4 (25:39):
How?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
How would you even start? Well? Who would even start that?
And then how who? Who? The Peace Commission headed by Trump? Right?
All right, okay, who are you gonna put in charge? You?
And you you know you're.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Gonna have some interviews. They're gonna go to glassdoor or
what are you call it? The job of a website? Yeah,
you know LinkedIn putting that they'll go to LinkedIn. That's right,
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
So you just say, you two your president, you're vice president,
or do you want to have a parliamentary system your
president and your prime minister, or do you want to
have one of those systems or the president's most powerful
of the prime ministers of both Barbara or whatever kind
of what do you want to have here?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I mean that's where they are.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I mean, haven't got the slightest ideal kind of government
they're going to have or who's going to be involved
in it? Okay, so you got new government in Gaza,
creation of stabilization for us, which is just who knows what?
And then step three, there's only three steps in the
phase two. It shouldn't be that hard. Step three disarming
her moss. Okay, we'll just make a bunch of dead
end or nihilist people who who'd rather be dead than
(26:44):
alive because they think they're going to get to all
the virgins, give up their.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Guns, and I solve the one problem. I figured it out.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I was thinking, all right, if you were to put
an ad on next door one of the job websites,
or are you looking at the next door looking for
president of Gaza right temporary leader and calmer downer of Gaza.
You need must own bulletproof vest some you need great
administrative abilities, organizational abilities like a CEO. And you need
(27:15):
to be absolutely comfortable with whoop and ass ladies and gentlemen.
Dana White, Dana White, Sure he'd love that job of
the Mixed Martial arts fame. A friend to President Trump,

It's good to be right. I've been more optimistic on
this whole Middle East thing than Joe than negative Nelly.
Joe Getty can't do Guy has been on the Middle
East pross. But then I look at this phase two
and I think, how would any of these three things happen?
(28:53):
I can't even imagine how possibly even like well with
the look in reality, I feel like a unicorn like attitude.
How do I see how any of these three things
could happen in less than a century? Hamas will never
disarm and give up on wiping out Israel. Hell, the
(29:16):
college kids, the college kids right now, I've got a
story on that for later. The angry little simpleton jackass,
brainwashed arrested adolescent American college students yelling about the river.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
To the sea.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
They want they want Hamas to keep fighting.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Please.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The only way this ends is when Hamas is decimated.
Israel struck a great deal to get the hostages home.
Hammas thought, all right, we can buy a little time.
Otherwise they're gonna decimate us right now. Time is at
least we can try to figure out another strategy.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Okay, TikTok, TikTok. That time is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Going by now and it's back, so the decimating that
is the only choice, says me. How to become a millionaire?
First get a million dollars. It's exactly the same sort
of thing. We've got email on the way.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Joe's got this mind blowing thing that I'm looking forward
to myself about our culture that I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Stay tuned if you're a man or a woman, because
it is all about the dynamics between males and females.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Fascinating, trust me, awesome, we got all that today.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
If you miss a segment get the podcast Armstrong a
Getty on demand. Oh Boy concert that my son wanted
to go to, that we didn't go to because the
timing rasons that there were so many fights the other
night they had to cancel the concert.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I'm glad we didn't go to see Boy. To see Luliyati?
Is that a yacht rock act? I love that, Michael McDonald.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Not excuttle boat.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Here's your freedom loving Quotes of the day, Continuing on
our series of the Great Chinese Warrior son Su, Victorious
warriors win first and then go to war. Well, defeated
warriors go to war first and then seek to win,
which is similar to us is saying the supreme arti
ort is to subdue the enemy without fighting. America is
(31:23):
so big and dumb and naive and friendly. We say,
we really want to be your friend. We'd happy to
be your friend. We'd like to be your friend. If
you don't be our friend, we're gonna pounced you on
the head. But we real really like to be friends.
The Chinese way, and this is entrined and a lot
of the greatest Chinese wisdom is deception is the way
to dominate you deceive your opponent into thinking you're their friend,
(31:45):
and that's not seen as some sort of sin or
something bad.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
That's seen as smart.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Also reminds me of our old producer Sean saying of
you know who wins a fight the first person who
realizes they're in a fight.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Yeah, and China realizes they're a fight, We do not
well and back to the sun too quote China is
making all sorts of efforts to win the war before
the fight starts, by subterfusion, all sorts of other methods.
Mailbag probs note mailbag at Armstrong yet in getty dot

describes how when he and his wife first got pregnant,
the first ultrasound didn't detect a heartbeat, uh, and they
were just so stressed and heartbroken after the after waiting
a couple of months, they tried again and everything was great.
And he said, hearing that heartbeat brought back to joy
and relief we had now twenty four years ago. Our
(33:13):
son is an awesome twenty four year old young man.
Couldn't be more proud of it, happy to have That's awesome.
And then they said.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Something nam did dan da n n O? Jeez, wow wow,

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Then he says something so powerfully simple and simply powerful.
He says, the heartbeat means there is life, and I
help you enjoy him as much as we do ours. Yeah,
the heartbeat means there is life. Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Denying that, so clear, one hundred thousand true obviously, Yeah,
how could you possibly deny that? And then the fact, see,
this is something guys or birthing persons only get to understand.
I'll never know what it's like to have life inside me.
I barely have life.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
As it is right right, just a bitter empty space. Anyway,
let's see, moving along, to the politics.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Tim.

Right, Tim is harshly critical of us every day. Practically,
you guys helped elect a man child, Thanks ever so much?
Right well, Tim, your side ran a dei higher moron,
So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Having had to abandon your dimension ridden old man? Right?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
So, okay, this is interesting from Ad Jason sending along
the actual Craigslist job posting for the protest. This happens
to be in the capitol California. You've seen, ex Sacramento,
the birthplace of the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
But yeah, no, King's anti.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Trump protest of a sales team, cash paid and it
explains where you need to be and how much you
can make for showing up to the protest. It's George
Soros money and that sort of thing at work. Let's see,
on the topic of the New York mayor race. I've
never been to a protest. I was thinking about this yesterday.
What what cause would get me out to actually leave
(35:14):
my home. We've spoken, we went to tea party events, yeah,
because we were asked to speak at them or whatever.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But yeah, I've never on my own own gone to

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Anyway, the stick is writing about the New York mayor's
race and how Mamdani could possibly have this party does
but he, like a couple of other emailers, have mentioned
a poll that showed and here's my point in bringing
this up, forty two percent of Americans were not aware
that Lay's potato chips are made from potatoes which are.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Grown in the ground.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, there's little obfuscation going on here. It's in the name. Well,
they didn't know that potatoes grow underground. I guess I
didn't see the poll, but.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, these troubled times, obviously ignoramus. Your potato knowledge is embarrassing.
How do you get through the day? Well, I guess
we're kind of out of time, aren't we. Nick in
Minnesota with a great shot at jack. Maybe we can
get to that later. We're gonna kick off next hour
with a brilliant bit of thinking about why America has

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
