Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and
Jacky and he.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Armsrong the from studio scene, see Senior.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
It's a dimly lit room. Where does he put them?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
The bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communication compound?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
And is it? I don't know what day it is
because I was upsold late watching the baseball game today.
Is Q was Tuesday? It was Wednesday? A right, it's Tuesday,
and we're under the two leadership, our general manager. I
tell you what. The search committee was up all night,
unbelievable riches of talent. Could have gone with Melissa, most

(01:02):
powerful hurricane to ever strike Jamaica. Could have gone with
the great Brunella Scales, beloved actress Symbil Faulty on the
greatest British sitcom of all time according to BRIT's Faulty Towers.
But no, we've got to go with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Freddie Freeman for mercifully ending the longest Tide World Series

(01:25):
game in history last night. I think it'd be more
fair to just make the game the general manager. If
you want to honor something there, does it? There's six
hundred and nine pitches.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
I watched every single six of the six hundred nine,
all six hundred nine pitches.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I went to bed. What an amazing freaking sporting event
that was.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And the amazing thing is, and I won't go on
about this forever, but the amazing thing is, at the
end of nine they played two games. You realize eighteen
innings means you played a whole mine inning game then
played another nine inning game. Yeah, at the end of nine,
the announcers are saying, and I was saying to myself,
this is the best World Series game I've ever seen.
At the end of nine innings, everything that can happen

(02:06):
in a baseball game happened in that baseball game. Some
of the greatest things I've never seen before.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Some of the greatest throws I've ever seen, or situations
that occurred, or just it was just absolutely amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, craziness.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
And let me hit you with the most amazing thing
because I know nobody saw this because everybody went to bed.
This is the best part of the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Show you Tani, by the way, you got on base
nine times and is the starting pitcher tonight nine times. Yeah,
I wonder did the players go home or did they
just sleep in the locker room in their uniforms because
it would save time because they got to play here
in a couple more hours. Wow, just incredible show you
Tony got on based nine times in one game. He

(02:51):
went double home run, double home run, and then they decided, well,
we better walk him him from here on out. It
was just incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
But anyway, this is the most dramatic thing to me
of the whole game. So they've gone through so many pitchers,
they were running out of pitchers. The Blue Jays were
down that they were going to bring in their tonight's
starter because they were out of pitchers.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
If it went to nineteen innings.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
They went down to Roberts, the manager of the Dodgers,
because they were out of pitchers, and ask him what
are you gonna do if it goes one more inning?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And he said, I actually don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I guess I'm gonna have to go to with a
position player, which means you'd bring in a third basement
or a catcher, somebody who pitched in high school or
college right and hasn't pitched since to pitch then the
announcers say, there's the interpreter talking to Roberts, the manager
of the Dodgers. Oh my god, is he talking about
sho hey Otani coming in to pitch because they're out

(03:46):
of pitchers. And they wait, awhile, and pretty soon No Yamamoto,
who pitched a complete game Saturday night, right, told the interpreter, go,
tell the manager, I'm pitching next, And he went and
warmed up. He was gonna to come in, and he
was warming up in the bullpit. He was gonna come
in the ninth nineteenth inning as a guy who played
pitched a complete game two nights earlier. Right, what a

(04:09):
stud tell the manager I'm pitching? Holy crap.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Wow, this is this further cementing our strong relationship with Japan.
Our president to meeting with the new Prime Minister.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I got questions here, So Godzilla Matra all because of
some sort of radiation thing.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Is that what happened with Shoeo Tani. There's like a
radiation leak. Uh. I'm not allowed to talk about that.
It's class Riyamamoto. It doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
They're Mafra like characters and the President should be talking
to Japan about their baseball players. They need to stop
doing something or do it more oftener.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
When I was five years old, I had a little
Japanese friend whose name I do not recall, but we
would do the equivalent of if we didn't call him
play eights, but I would go play with him. He'd
come to my apartment play with me, and he was
crazy into the Japanese monster movies. And at age five,
I thought, you know, that's really silly. Whatever a cynic

(05:09):
in kindergarten.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
You know the great thing about baseball is that you
can have a six and a half hour How many
hours did that game go?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I started? I ended at ten minutes to twelve on
the West coast, ten minutes to three am on the
East coast.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I started watching Slash listening when I went to the
grocery store to get stuff for dinner, then got home
and made dinner. Actually I started at the gym, then
went to the grocery store, then made dinner. Then I
had a meeting thing I had to go to. Then
it came home, did stuff with Henry, did dishes, walked
the dog. I did I mean it, went to bed,
showered shit, Oh you know, because it's six hours long.

(05:48):
No other sport do. They just keep going and going
and going like that, right, right, Yeah, during the regular
season they've introduced those JIV rules about you started with
a guy on pace or whatever.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
But now they keep it pure for the world serious,
which is good. Yes, Michael.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Do you think if the game went long enough they
would pull a fan, like each team would pull a
fan of your choice.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
You know, it's like in the NHL, if your two
goalies get hurt, they have an emergency goalie in the
stands who's like a college player, beer league guy or whatever. Really,
it's a special rule in the NHL, so they only
carry two goalies. You got to have that in baseball.
And man, it sure looked from the crowd that very
few people left. It was still packed. Absolutely when Freddy

(06:32):
Freeman hit the damned home run, there was at least
on the East coast. It started a night game that
almost ended up a day game. Think about that, The
sun could have been coming up.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, it's almost a shame that it ended up going
so late because a lot of people missed out on
really really amazing sporting of it. And I'm quite tired
because of that. Six hundred and nine pitches.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's nothing. Hard to imagine. They ran out of baseballs.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
They had to get people to scuff up more baseballs
because they get like three hundred baseballs ready for every
game and they that's way more than you need. But
they ran through them all, so they had to get
somebody down there to get all the baseballs ready.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Just that home plate ump had to be weeping between innings.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, you can't focus that long. No, And there are
some weird calls when it got later. But but but yeah,
how would you because at some point you'd be thinking, God,
what time is it?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Is?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
My wife in bed yet? Oh? Strike or a ball?
I don't know. I didn't see that. I wasn't anybody
see that? Hey what was it? Come on? Cool?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
And then, in my final note on this, this is
a baseball e note, my favorite player for Toronto, Springer
got hurt, and that really hurt because he could have
been the home run heroics because that's his thing. But
I'm always interested in professional athletes when they get hurt
and they know what their injury is because they're so
in tune with their body and injuries and the ways

(07:49):
that most of us aren't.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Like most of us, we get hurt. It's like, what
was that? Out of that? And I hope this is
nothing big. They all know exactly at the time he
swings the ball, he grabs his he immediately waves like okay,
I'm done and goes like right to the locker room
and out into the tunnel, like okay, that's bad.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I may never play again. I don't know how they
know this about their bodies. I regularly hurt myself and think,
oh my god, I'll never walk again, and then I'm
fine three minutes later. Well, you know, might be an
individual thing. Don't you crack your toe on the edge
of the coffee table and you think.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh, the gotta be broken. I don't even want to look.
It's gotta be pointed straight up. Mines.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's fine, all right, let's start the show officially before
we get in trouble. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty
on this It is Tuesday, October twenty eighth, the year
twenty twenty five, or Armstrong and getting we approve of
this program.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Let's begin then officially according to FCC rules regulations. Here
we go at mark eleven fifty in Los Angeles. Corman
sends a five out of simple field varshow's going back too?
That's all right here, goot the last round, hold on again.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
The announcwers kept saying through the game, this is gonna
be emotionally devastating to however, loses just devastating, it.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Would be yeah, yeah, not to mention physically.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, I've been devastated before. It takes a while you
get over, or maybe you don't. What do you think
of the phrase, if it doesn't kill you, it makes
you stronger.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I quibble with that. I think I think some things
weaken you and are bad. No, it's it's a ridiculous
greeting card cliche. Or really yeah, yeah, it depends what
you're talking about. There's a range of stuff. Some stuff
doesn't kill you, it leaves you weakened and in pain
for the rest of your life. Shut up.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Or is a really bad thing that happened and there's
really nothing positive to gain out of it?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You just have to soldier on and do you have
sadder but wiser perhaps? Yeah? Right, I can think of examples,
but I won't use them. You all need to rally,
I guess, and that's if that's how you rally yourself.
Go ahead, it's but it's silly.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I will say this. You shouldn't say that to people
when they're in a time of distress over something.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Oh no, no, I feel like people.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Have said that to me many times, and I feel
like I want to punch you in the nose right now.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, I don't see. I don't see how this is
going to make my life any better in any way whatsoever.
Trump is in Asia right now, and uh he met
with that new Japanese Prime ministry yesterday. How about her
rolling out of Ford f one fifty for him to
see right when he gets off the plane. These world
leaders are really catching on how to trip his trigger.

(10:37):
Oh yeah, they are absolutely in like a global contest
for who can flatter Trump most effectively, trout out the
most you know, F eighteen flyovers, or traditional dancers or
marching bands or what have you, the most elaborate greeting
they can dream up.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
It's all building up to his meeting with She in China,
which of course is a very very big deal. Is
the two countries that are going to control the world's
destiny for the next half century or more, or vying
for supremacy. And I just read an interesting article in
The New York Times about how China is really going
to push him on Taiwan to see where he stands
on that, hoping that he doesn't care quite as much

(11:16):
about Taiwan as maybe other presidents have or the United
States has claimed it has in the past. And Mark
Halpern even writes today of maybe some sort of Ukraine
for Taiwan deal that Trump will hint at or explicitly
say stop helping out there and we won't worry about
Taiwan so much.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah. My final note is that everything that was said
and done with Japan would tend to weaken the argument
that Trump is in some sort of grand bargain that
we get this hemisphere, you get that hemisphere. Maybe Japan's
an exception to that because it's right across the Pacific
from us, But does that appeared to be a serious
deepening of relations cool. I want to hear more about that.

(11:58):
We get a lot on the way, We got Katie
headlines and you can come in anytime four one five.
This is the text line.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
We don't want you to call us, good lord, don't
call us text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Halloween's on a Friday night this year, cops in every
town in America. I gotta think it's gonna be a
long night. Yeah, yeah, the party. Since I've engaged in
wildness on Halloween, I keep forgetting that's right. Oh, it's
the biggest party day of the year. Now safer. All right,

(12:34):
let's figure out who's reporting what. I thought you had
something more to say on that thing.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
That's neat.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's it's it's a statistic. We should all consider who's
reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie's being Katie.
It's kind of weird because it wasn't it all when
we were younger. It was just at some point somebody decided, Wow,
older people should dress up for Halloween and go out
and turn it into a party. And then now like
that's seems like the main thing. Go ahead, Katie, where's
my Oh you kidding? I went to bed at one

(13:01):
o'clock in the morning. Joke is in your hand? Whatever
that's saying, Oh Lord, no, good god. It disappoints a nation,
then discusss the nation. Nice job disappoints a nation.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Wow, Okay, On that note, ESPN An Unforgettable Night of
the World series lasted eighteen incredible innings.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I can't imagine what tonight's gonna be for the fans
of the fans are gonna be like, I don't really
want to go back.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
I mean, I got things to do. My hand's hurt
from clapping, so I'm just gonna whoop.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
From NBC, Trump defends boat strikes and speech to troops
warns of deployment to more US cities.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
All right.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
From the New York Times, Beyond the trade war, China's
gee looks to press Trump on Taiwan.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, that's interesting. I'll read more from some analysis about that.
Trump might be right about that, whether people like it
or not, that the world is not going to stop
China from taking Taiwan. I'm just going to try to
get as much for it as I fraud as I can, right,
But I would also suggest delaying it as long as

(14:15):
you humanly can, because of our reliance on Taiwanese chip
makers in particular, and other economic ties that'd be incredibly
disruptive to the world economy. I have a theory on that.
But later from the.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
Washington Post, Amazon to cut corporate workforce by about fourteen thousand.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, I saw thousand hasn't got anything to do with AI. Yeah,
focusing on ai. Wow.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Fox News suspect with a lengthy rap sheet arrested for
pambondi quote murder for higher scheme on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah. Now, sureletical violences everywhere, especially on the left. It
is being openly encouraged and eared all over the place.
This is sick from the New York Post. Perverted Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Chat bot tells kids to spill their craziest secrets.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
What the hell?

Speaker 5 (15:15):
It's a chat bot that is named besty Epstein and
it allows thousands of chats with users on chat Ai.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
But who developed it?

Speaker 5 (15:25):
It's all so chat Ai allows you to create your
characters and then other people can chat with them. And
somebody created this and now it's become a thing.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Wow. Besty Epstein does sound like an eighties punk band,
back to the day of the Dead Milkman and you know,
Sick Puppies and that sort of thing from USA.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Today, singles are paying two hundred dollars to.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Hold each other in dark rooms. There's a name for that. Yeah,
exactly what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (15:56):
They're calling it the fields, but it's a singles mixer
that employs various touch based techniques. Am getting participants to
learn more about themselves and maybe just fall in love
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, do it the other way around, That's what I suggest.
How about you fall in love and then get to
the touching. Don't start touching and then hope you fall
in love after the touch. Wait, these are odd time I'd.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
Say I hate everything about this story from tech Radar,
Samsung launches ads on its smart fridges.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
God, so refrigerator will be like the gas pump, some
loud ad bluring at me. Have you ever shot a refrigerator?
You're about to with Sam's song? Yeah, are you kidding?
Oh Lord?

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Study fines primal fitness trend dubbed quad botics has people
walking like dogs to get in shape.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, I need to know more about that story. Send
me that, Katie. Okay. Some crimes include their own punishment.
I love that.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
And finally, the Babylon Bee animatronic ice agents raid Disneylands.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's a small world. Oh no, that's funny. God, you
had a bunch of annoying stories in your newscast today.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I mean like I was reaching for that. Half of
them were so maddening and annoying and frightening. Wow, you're welcome.
We'll have more details on a whole bunch of those
and news of the day on the ways there.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Armstrong and Geeddy.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Police saying this armed motorist sped away from a shooting
of a San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy, first exceeding one
hundred miles per hour, then one hundred and thirty and
even faster, only slowing to pull out a handgun. You
see him rack a bullet into the chamber in full
view of the news helicopters, until a motorist swerved into
his lane. The bike smashed the rider throne police swarming.

(17:49):
Police said that that motorcyclist was a suspect to earlier
had held a woman at gunpoint then shot a deputy.
That deputy has been transported to an area hospital.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, they didn't mention the beginning of the clip. The
person in questionnaire talking about is on a motorcycle. A
bunch of people have sent me that clip. I don't know,
because I'm a motorcyclist. I keep seeing it on the TV.
You know, TV likes exciting coverage, and it's pretty exciting
to see a motorcycle, a guy with a gun flying
through traffic and then when he hits a car and
then flies over the top of it.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Is that what happened? Yeah? Car drifted into his lane
and at one point he was going over two hundred
miles per hour. Oh, go ahead, and he was loading
and cocking a semi automatic pistol. How do you put
his hands off the handlebars? How do you do that?
He must have had a cruise control of some sort.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
And talk about timing. The car that ran the motorcycle
off the road? Was an off duty officer?

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Really? Oh yeah, yeah, intentionally? Or do we know they're.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Saying that an off duty sheriff's deputy conducted a legal
intervention by striking the suspect off the motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
All right, can you look up see what kind of
motorcycle that was? Because not every motorcycle will go two
hundred miles an hour?

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Was that a higher vent? Sad white guy too? Because he
sat up after the wreck and was taken off from
medical treatment, I was like, all right, what kind of
guy is this? How was he? So you must have
had some sort of cruise control lock on his throttle.
That's a good point. Oh boy, I.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Can't pronounce what huss Klavarna, Norton. I know one.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh really, yeah, I know what those are, but I
didn't know that would go two hundred miles an hour. Yeah, Scirvana,
which got bought by KTM a couple of years ago.
But yeah, they make some fast bikes. I mean, the
guy's a really, really good rider. It wouldn't surprise me
if he'd done some mods modification.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he killed that deputy by the way,
he didn't make it deputy that he shot.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Horrible, horrible, horrible, very bad, come, very very bad person.
I wish he'd been hurt more severely. What's your favorite clip? Uh?
Complete change of topic. What's your favorite clip?

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Michael from John Stewart last night had Zohan Mundana.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I'm not how you're supposed to say it correctly, but
he was on Ran Mandani. He was on The Daily
Show last night? Which is your favorite clip?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Showing off is Zoran Mundani's wonderful personality that people seem
to like so.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Much, any of them, I'll just start a clip for
her way you anything. So what's it like reaching out
to that other group? You know?

Speaker 4 (20:22):
I don't begrudge New Yorkers who are skeptical because they've
also lived through tens of millions of dollars of commercials
telling them to fear me. Right, you know, they have
lived through waking up every morning and seeing a photo
of me and just be like like, oh my god,
because the language that's written around me is as if
I am a threat to the city that they love.
And so when I meet with them, just the mere

(20:43):
fact that I don't strangle them within thirty seconds is
often but but and then I think it's it's an
opportunity where, you know, I both can tell them the
things that I will do and the things that I
won't do.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Right.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
I will freeze the rent, I won't defund the police.
I will make bus is fasten free. I won't decriminalize misdemeanors.
I will deliver universal childcare.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
That's pretty good. And I've seen him on a bunch
of interviews. He is good.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
He's got, he's got the Obama things, got the drump thing.
He's just he's comfortable in his own skin. The people
that win tend to be comfortable in our own skin
and seem like they're not faking it.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
What's really interesting. I read a bit of analysis about
the race. He is not even very popular for a
Democrat in New York. It's just that he's running against
a bomb. Now. The guy is a phenomenon of sorts,
no doubt, and you know Sung Su style. Let's not
under estate made our enemy because he is our enemy
without question. But he's got talent. He so I wonder

(21:40):
of the reasons I wanted to play that. Maybe we'll
play more later. As a new pole came out yesterday
in which the gap had closed by half. He had
been up by twenty points a month ago, and he's
now by ten over Cuoma. This pole could be an
outlier that come election day we find out that was
an outliar. But even if it's close to ten and
it's for real, ten points is a huge lead. I mean,
if that was the lead to start with, if you'd

(22:02):
say he was running away with it, I mean, that's
a big lead when you're this close to the election.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
So that's that, And then I wanted to get to
this other thing poll wise, because it kind of fits
into the whole where's the Democratic Party going? Bill Maher
was complaining on HBO on Friday night that if Ziron wins,
and he probably is, he's going to become the face
of the Democratic Party, and everybody's going to think that's
what they are. They're aoc bernie socialist types more than

(22:32):
anything else. And Bill Maher, at least as a Democrat,
thinks that's a bad idea. But the latest poll out
for Democratic nominee for president for twenty twenty eight, as
a new person in the lead, former Transportation Secretary Pete
boot Edge Edge, Oh, for the love of having is
the Democratic Party's early presidential front runner. Now, these are
polls at this point are fairly stupid. Fairly I'm going

(22:57):
to give you some information about something. They don't use
to give you information about who's going to be the
nomin knee. They give you some information about where a
party is in terms of their hopes and dreams and
wants currently.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I guess okay, I'll buy that anyway.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Boot Edge Edge is the early front runner, ahead of Gasm,
Gavin Newsom, and Acossio Cortes. Nineteen percent support for Pete.
Who's got the beard? I wonder probably at least five
points of it is.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
The beard could be. It's definitely made him look a
little less pixyish, a little more manly. He's got age.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Now, these polls have huge margins of error, and you're
asking people in the average person saying for twenty twenty eight,
I don't know, I haven't thought about it. I got
a life. But Mayor Pete's at nineteen four points behind
at fifteen is Gavin Newsom, the current governor of the
state of California. The only other double digits were Acossio

(23:57):
Cortez at fourteen and Kamala Harris at eleven.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh god, what the hell's going on? That cecee?

Speaker 3 (24:03):
That shows you how stupid these polls are. That's just
a name recognition. Well, I've heard of her, something.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
That I draw up that slate of candidates as a joke,
as a prank on Democrats. You got Pete, who has
accomplished nothing. He was a terrible, miserable failure as a
Secretary of Transportation after being the mayor of South Bend, Indiana,
a lovely college town. You've got Gavin Newsom, who was
practically single handed. Nice an exaggeration. He's been at the

(24:31):
head of the horrific monster that's trashed California. Kamala, please
don't even and AOC the Instagram influencer whose side hustle
is being a congress lady.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Please if I had to bet money, and it'd be
weird if I did have to, Like if I was
compelled to, I would bet none of those people are
going to be the nominee. And if I had to
choose one of those names, it would be Gavin Newsom.
I don't think of any other ones I would chance of being. Yeah,
i'd agree, that's where we are. We're a twentieth. That'll
be kind of fun to watch. That's got to be tough.
And so there's a John Carl of ABC's got a

(25:09):
new book out. I think it's called Retribution anyway, it's
got some new reporting about the presidential race and some
of the craziness that was going on during the whole
period of time where you know, Biden had the debates
and they kicked him out of the party and chose
and chose the numb nuts instead of having a primary
and stuff like that, and Obama and Nancy Pelosi and

(25:30):
Chuck Schumer, we're all pushing really hard to have some
sort of contest because none of them thought that Kamala
Harris should be the nominee or was capable of winning.
They were all pushing for it, but Joe Biden coming
out fast and naming Kamala Harris really upended the whole
thing and just set things into motion really quick. And

(25:52):
John Carl's got a quote in there of Obama because
Nancy Pelosi came out fairly quickly and endorsed Kamala Harris.
There's a quote in there of Obama saying, what the
hell are you doing? And her saying that train has
left the station. It's too late now now that Biden's
coming out and put his name on it, we can't
go any other direction, which she might.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Have been right about. I don't know. Yeah, the New
York Post is quoting it is what the f or
did you do? I thought we were all on the
same page. Yeah, I read that second ago.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Several other people are saying that that was in a friendly,
joking sort of.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Way, not in a angry so oh okay, wow.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
You know they're friends. Well what the eff are you doing?
You know that sort of thing. And she said, well,
that train has left the station. Since the President has
put his thumb on the scale, not much we can
do at this point.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Was her thing. I don't know. It would have been
a mess. It would have been a real mess with
one hundred and seven days to go or whatever to
try to have some sort of open primary and then
eat up a couple of weeks and then have that
person run. That wouldn't have been easy. Well yeah, but
that would have had the ring of authenticity. That's Canada
as opposed to running a moron. Any process that ends

(27:01):
with you running an unelectable moron is by definition a
bad process that you can try to defend it well.
The other process would have taken time but would have
yielded a non moron. Yeah, I was about to say,
arguing against myself is up with someone who can't win?
Doesn't do you any favors. Now we've got plenty of
time to run the person who can't win. Yeah, it's

(27:24):
not a good strategy.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
But isn't it funny that all the powerful people except
for the dementia ridden president president knew she can't She's
not going to be president.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Kamala Harris can't win? What are we doing here? Ironically,
enough to go back to my argument, if they had
strung it out with some sort of primary process for
several weeks that and Kamala somehow came out at the
top of that process, and that would have been better
for her. Yeah, oh yeah, definitely. The more you know,
the less you like. She wouldn't have But yeah, that

(27:55):
would have been better for her, and it would have
eaten up a lot of time. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Maybe that would have helped in someone because it would
have been very hard for Trump to get any coverage
with that whole primary thing going on.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
I don't know. Yeah, Trump, You would think that people
as powerful as Barack Obama Nancy Pelosi could have controlled
that situation a little better than they did, but they
were not. Oh, Kamala Harris, the ultimate DEI hire reminds me.
Coming up if we can squeeze in the next hour

(28:26):
a couple of examples of how absurd and bizarre the
DEI thing got during the Biden years. You remember what
I used to always say, dismantle every DEI program everywhere
it exists, education, corporations, government, everywhere. I stand by that,
I amplify it, and I will drive home the case.

(28:47):
Next hour. Quick breaking news before we take a break
to get to mailbag. Secretary of War Hegxeth just announced it.
We blasted four more boats out of the water, four more,
four more, killing fourteen alleged drug traffickers, four different boats. Wow, wow,
fishing wanted to see the sunset. We're moving drugs. I

(29:09):
don't know whatever. Can I give you a little hint
to the DEI stuff? Sure? A Secret Service agent too
fat to ever pass the physical standards, never passed it,
And the Secret Service head lady said, don't worry about it. Really, yes,

(29:34):
fat secret Service agents right, never passedst stand in front
of the president. Stand in front of the president. You
block more area? Hang on, I'll be right there was
just longer walked in. It looks mister President, all from
my body in front of you soon as I can.
Holy cow, that's a lot of stairs.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
On the other hand, if Jumbo gets there, the assassin
is thinking, I can't see the president.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Right, damn it. I've been foiled. Right, so pros and cons. Wow,
we got mail bag all the way. Stay here.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
The one was up pretty late last night taking in
a seven hour amazing baseball game.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
But we have lots of news for you today. Right First,
a freedom loving quote of the day from the great
English writer and thinker G. K. Chesterton, tolerance is the
virtue of the Take two. Tolerance is the virtue of
the man without convictions. It's an interesting quote. Tolerantly is
the virtue of the man without convictions right right now,

(30:40):
it'd be helpful to know the context. And I don't
really want to get off on this tangent. But one
thing people fail to appreciate, those who are of simple
mind on the left, is that there are things that
should not be tolerated. Absolutely not okay. Once you admit that,
let's talk about what should and should not be tolerated.
And some of the stuff on your list what should

(31:01):
be tolerated, I disagree, and that actually factors into mailbag
drops a note mail bag at Armstrong and getdy dot com.
Before we get to the main themed mail bag today,
I wanted to throw this in from Roger. Is the
FBI gambling investigation going to include JB. Pritzker of Illinois?
I mean, he won one point four million dollars in Vegas?

(31:23):
Come on, he did declared it on his taxes. He
got hot playing blackjack and won one point four million dollars.
That's got to be getting pretty close to degenerate gambler. Territory.
What are you risking now? He's a billionaire. But is
that the sort of thing the public official law to

(31:44):
be doing. No? Yeah, yeah ah JD. And Clovis commenting
on zar n Mandani and his father, the Islamist who
made all sorts of bizarre claims about Hitler learning genocide
from the Americans, specifically Abra Lincoln. JD writes, after hearing
their rally audio yesterday practice, Zorn and his father would

(32:05):
be for returning the Temple Mount back to the Jews.
It's occupied land by their standards, right, No, no, absolutely
not JD. That's the thing about Islamism is if they
lose land, they scream stolen land. We need a back,
stolen land, we need it back. But as we're about
to get to, Islam has engaged in centuries of conquest,

(32:27):
centuries of brutal conquest. And if you were to say
to them, yeah, that land used to belong to somebody else,
you got to give it back, they would laugh at you,
they would go fall. But they demand it of their lands.
And on that theme, this is from Less who writes,
I just heard about Zoram Mamdani's father, Mackmood and invoking

(32:50):
Abraham Lincoln is the model for Adolf Hitler. This type
of opinion by a Columbia professor should not going challenged.
The Middle East Quarterly and he gives the issue and
Everything has an excellent article by Hannibal Travis titled did
the Armenian Genocide Inspire Hitler? It's a long article, but
here's the takeaway. If anyone influenced Hitler, it was max
Irwin von Schoubler Richter, who had been the Vice council

(33:15):
in Turkey in the early nineteen hundreds when the future
founding President of the Republic of Turkey at A Turk
was presiding over the first National Congress Blah blah blah.
He documented the planning and implementation of the murder of
Armenians by the young Turks in the name of Islam
and Turkic ideology, which, when later implemented forcibly deported Armenians
from villages and worked and starved them to death. Shoubler

(33:37):
Richter was a very close friend of Adolf Hitler, and
when the Beer Hall putch in nineteen twenty three happened,
he was killed while standing next to Hitler. Hitler then
dedicated the first part of man Kamfe to him, here's
the real irony in Machmudmumdani's logic. He talked about colonizers.
When he is a super colonizer. He's following in the
footsteps of the Europeans by being born in India then

(33:59):
moving to Uganda under the United States. If he truly
believed in decolonization, he would move back to India and
not bring his family to the United States and joins
what he calls colonizers. There's one other explanation. He may
be an Islamic colonizer. Islam has a very long history
of colonization. Remember the Blue of Oscar was originally a
Christian church. Also, before Islam, Aramaic was a very prominent

(34:20):
Middle Eastern language, etc. Enjoy the show, enjoy your emails,
Thanks les.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
When Mundami Mandani gets elected, he'll be the gift that
keeps on given. I think there's got to be a
lot more to his things his dad has said, or
that he's going to have to answer for and all
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, I suspect so and his associations, which are usually
just one step away from absolutely undeniable islam as terrorists.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
How about the lack of coverage on this story. Can
you imagine if there were a Republican candidate for a
major office whose father had said something as crazy as
Abraham Ham Lincoln was the inspiration for Hitler?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah yeah, wow, I know. Well. Can you imagine if
there was a Republican running for the Senate with an
actual Nazi tattoo place the world would stop? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yeah, we got a lot to cover in the next
several hours. If you miss a segment or a podcast, No,
a segment or an hour, there you get. You get
the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. I got all
the words in the right order. Armstrong and Getty on demand.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
