Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now protests live Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty and Key
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Who live from Studio CE see senior dimly let room
deeper than the bowel to the Armstrong and getting communications
compound to kick off a brand new week, pregnant with possibilities.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We are under the tutelage of our general manager. Hiring
process has gone poorly so far. Do you have a
nomination yourself excited about any of us?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Boy, that's a good one. I mean, I hate to
be kind of trite, but man, the college campus protests
continue to be quite the delio.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, I agree, I agree. Let's go with angry ignorant protesters.
Oh that was judgmental. I apologize.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I think the emphasis should be on the other side.
How about stupid complicit administrators as opposed to the protesters.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm reminded. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm gonna sound more sophisticated by saying one is reminded,
Hang on that, thanks, nish.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
One is reminded.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
One is reminded of the time honored quote from philosopher
Homer Simpson. Why do the things that happen as stupid
people keep happening to me? As we hear the bellows
of the college administrators saying.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Why have we reaped what we sold? Come on for?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Instead of educating people, young people, you spent the last
twenty years trying to turn them into a little revolutionaries.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What do you expect was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Right, And in some cases, like at Columbia, you got
a bunch of people that were revolutionaries in the sixties
on the board at the university, so they love this
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But anyway, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
How many times have I heard today already negotiations continue
at this university, or administrators at this university say negotiations
are going.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Why are you negotiating?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
It reminds me when I talk to my kids about
various things and I say something and they come back
with on my house, I.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Say, we're not having a negotiation about this. Why are
you negotiating?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
No, no, no, what you're misled college student.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You need to leave now or we're kicking you out
of college.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
We are not going to stop having classes or cancel
our graduation, leave or go along with the program.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's not a negotiation.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I don't understand why they're acting like they have to
give it. I don't remember what university. There are now
so many universities doing this, nine hundred arrests total across
the country over the weekend, but dozens and dozens and
dozens and dozens of universities all across the country, and
I don't remember which one I heard where They released
their list of demands from this university, and the statement
(03:32):
from this kid was something like, the university doesn't seem
to realize what boycott means. Boy if you don't respond
to that with you don't seem to understand your role
versus my role. I don't know who you are. You
have five demands, that's cute. We have three. Number one,
go back to your dorms. Number two, take your tent
(03:53):
with you. Number three take your stuff home because you're expelled.
I just I don't understand and why they're so scared
of their own students because they're a for profit enterprise.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's a wash in cash. Don't get me started on
the whole student loan thing. It's a giant for profit enterprise.
All those deans of DEI making three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars a year. They don't want to anger the customers.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And it seems to still be growing nationwide, So I
I don't know where it's going. As we get closer
to graduation, too, I think you're gonna have a lot
more of the Are you going to cancel your graduation
or are you going to try to have graduation and
just have an s storm like in the parking lot
or outside the gate or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, I've got to admit there's part of me that
thinks all this is kind of useful because the probably
substantial portion of Americans who are totally unaware of how
sick and craze this whole woke DEEI neo Marxist thing
is and how far it's gone, are starting.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
To wake up to it.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's a publicity stunt in favor of sanity.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Almost well, the college students and the stupid, stupid administrators
don't have a lot of people on their side. As
I was watching some MSNBC this morning, and everybody on
there was howling where are the adults and wow, you
know that sort of thing. So, uh, I don't all
the old liberals.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Are finally waking up to, Oh this this, this is
not what we believe all this DEI stuff. Huh.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, we've got some Bill Maher saying the same sort
of thing. So, yeah, a lot of old liberals and
even your lefty cable news channels are why are you
putting up with this so well, I don't think there's
been any polling yet nationwide on where the public is
on this, but I guarantee it's overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Go to class.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Yeah, and you keep talking about the point and this
is this is news to me, and it has changed
my entire view of everything. Really, when you were talking
last week about the fact that all of this stuff, microaggression,
train stuff, climate change, every every aspect of this stuff
is just Marxism trying to tear down the system. But
(06:05):
Elon Musk had a great tweet over the weekend that
are retweeted to that point, and it was some woman
talking to some dude. But the woman said, I want
to fight climate change. Guy says, be honest. Woman says,
I am being honest, be honest. Okay, I want communism,
thank you. So it's the idea that climate change, whatever
it is, everything is it's all about just trying to
(06:26):
get Marxism going. And I think that is for the
top level of all this sort of stuff. But I
saw more interviews with hilarious college students on the campus.
Is that they have no clue about that. They don't
even know about the Israel thing.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They're just there win attend, trying to disrupt their university
right because it's exciting, and because I came across one
psychologist saying that these kids are so angry and scarred
by being kept apart and out of school during COVID
that a lot of this is working out that anger
and the need to just associate with other human beings
because they're desperate for it. So this is a chance
(07:02):
to do that. And I think there's probably some of
that at play too. It's a stew of, you know,
both healthy and unhealthy emotions. But the puppet masters above
are absolutely just trying to tear down the systems. Like
that quote I read last week about climate changes, a
lot more than the climate. It's equity, it's a diversity
and inclusion. It's anti colonialism, it's anti racism. It's just
(07:26):
it's a dozen different reasons to tear down the system,
all grouped together.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So we played on Friday one of the leaders of
the Columbia protests that was telling us we should all
be thankful he hasn't murdered Jews yet. There are more
clips of him that came out. He's not afraid to
hide his feelings, and we'll hear more from him. It's
it's nutjob stuff, but it gives you an idea who
some of these leaders of these protests are and how.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
He's gender confused too.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
That's a shock. We should start to show a fish,
particularly on a Monday. I think the fines are higher
on a Monday from the FCC if we don't start officially.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is
a Monday, April twenty ninth. We're about out of April. People,
Your twenty twenty four life will not be a born
in twenty four. We're Armstrong and geddy, and we approve
of this program.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Let's beg of the show for the week officially now,
according to FCC rules.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Rags at Mark.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm not saying both candidates are old, but you know,
Jimmy Carter is out there thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I couldn't maybe win this thing. I thought that was
pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Joe Colin Jose, the comedian speaker at the White House
Correspondence Dinner on Saturday night, which he.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Still despised that event, like you have a year's past.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I do despise that event, and you should despise it.
Everyone should despise that event. But I thought Colin Jose
is pretty funny. All the reviews were poor, but whatever,
who cares. Went to my son's flag football game yesterday.
He had the best player of his life. So that
was very exciting, excellent. He he at the end of
(09:06):
the game, knocked down a pass. Guy was wide open,
he was a guy covering him, ball was in there,
guy was gonna catch. He springs in the air with
that famous armstrong hops.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, slaps off disgust and slaps.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The ball down.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
And then the best part was I don't know if
you've watched recent youth sports, but it has gone from
the professional level now down to the tiniest level. If
you make any play whatsoever, even if that's just the
play you were supposed to make, you have to flex
and struts and do all these things. Every player does
it on every team and all the sports that I
that I watch.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's just part of the deal. Now, what a cultural
change that is. I know my dad would.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Have been so unhappy if either one of us had
ever done that, but anyway, everybody does it now. So
my son he makes the first best play of his life,
knocks the ball down in his the flexing and everything
like that, and everybody's got to do so very I've
got to see this.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm sure I'd have to get over it for a minute.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
It is something because you got like six year olds
in some case, you know, kicking a soccer goal.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It was just blah blah blah, what's dabbing?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was that what people did? Dabbing? Going on funny? It
is a culture change, and I can't figure out.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I can't figure out if it's just being an old
man to not like it, or if it's an actual
negative thing, or if it's just you know, it's for
fun and it's the entertainment and they're they're entertaining themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I don't so, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I think it has great cultural significance. It's it's absolutely
a sign of something. But it's not the kid's fault.
Look at me, I don't Uh yeah, it's uh. In
the past, the idea of hot dogging like that, as
we would have called it, it was just unthinkable, and uh,
it's I think the culture has gone from yeah I
did my job, of course, I did my job.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
To look at me, look at me, look at me,
look at me.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Well, there was a there used to be a saying
among you, like your old timey coaches, that if you
score a touchdown, act like you've been there before. You
just hand off the ball to the ref and you
jog back. But that is not what anybody does anymore. No,
you act like you won the Universe Championship with by yourself,
(11:20):
with your one play.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Every single thing you do. It's pretty mucky. I am
a fan of the touchdown dance. I've got to admit.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Spiking of the ball, but that's because that's the ultimate
goal of what you're doing. But like defending a pass
or a gain in eight yards or running play or
something like that, you don't you don't get to do
an eight yard running play dance.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That isn't a thing. As the kids say, Michael.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
You know, the new thing in the NFL is when
a defense makes a great play, like an interception or something.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The entire defense runs into the end zone and that's
a dance. Yeah, yeah, for a picture.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, Oh well, whatever, times change.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
How does manbag look that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
It'll do.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Our text line is four one, five two nine five
kftcar hot off the press's fresh new CNN poll out
that has Trump with his biggest lead.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
In any national poll, and uh so he'll be going
nutsoe and Democratic circcles. If that turns out to not
be an outlier, we'll look at it later.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I tempted to dismiss any national poll, particularly one in April, but.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The growing dissatisfaction.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
With Joe Biden as a candidate and his growing frailty
in the rest of it, and I think it's worth
keeping at least a one eye on that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I also think it's worth mentioning that, while we don't
elect people with national numbers, he lost the general election
vote both times, including the time he got elected president.
The fact that he's actually ahead when he's lost both
times the total raw vote is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah. True true.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Here's your freedom loving quote of today, wrapping up our series,
from Nicholas Gomez da Villa, the brilliant Colombian reactionary.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This is a good to.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Be a leftist is to judge the adversary not only
guilty of his crimes, but also of your own. I'm
reminded of a lot of the people on the left
saying the protest getting out of hand is the fault
of the cops for trying to enforce the law or
clear out the campuses. After the university said, hey, can
you help us clear out the campus place, that's the
(13:37):
fault of the cops, not of the protesters. So again
they judge the adversary not only guilty of his crimes,
but also of your own. It's good quote, mailbag whoo.
I was reminded the other day of the Twitter account Jack.
You said you were going to feature semi regularly. I'm
not sure we have, but it's the a crime a
day Twitter account.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh right, it's more or less.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Mocking the mind boggling infinites incomprehensible number of federal regulations
that exist.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So they list a crime a day including.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
US Code Section twenty one, subsection six seventy six, and
nine CFR three seventeen dot eight B five subsection two.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Make it a federal crime to sell a one pound
or smaller package of sliced bacon if the transparent bacon
preview window is located more than five eighths of an
inch from the top or bottom edge.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Of the package.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Wow, and a bunch of lawyers poured over the wording
of that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, right, a great expense.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Moving along the definition of outer and inner perimeter, John,
who's law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I was mocking the term of outer perimeter.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I said it was redundant, but he said, many times,
when we're set up around a barricaded subject, we have
an inner and outer perimeter. The outer perimeter keeps the
media and civilians out of the way. The tactical team
is on the inner perimeter preparing to make entry. So
that's what those terms mean. Thank you, John, appreciate that.
Let's see, hey guys, love a show for over twenty years.
Thanks Davis from San Jose. We appreciate that quick end
(15:15):
to the student santi Semitic protests place all those that
say I am Hamas and the terror watch list making
their life hell, then go after the colleges for harboring
terrorists as students.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
That would be an activist approach.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Indeed, Sir, I have sympathy to it, but I think
most of the kids are just easily led dunder heads
who need to be slapped and straightened out, and then
they'll grow up.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Got a great example of that coming up a little
bit later. I hope you can stick around for it.
From some of the job protesters over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I like this one from Chris and San Diego on
the question of Donald Trump at his trial and the
gag order in the First Amendment. He says, first, Joe, actually,
I don't know if it's a miss Chris or a
mister Chris.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Joe.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
The first thing your da daughter will learn in law
school is that every answer starts with it depends.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Get used to.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Never having a simple answer to a simple question. Again,
it's your own fault for not discouraging it from this
disastrous life choice.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I still regret doing it thirty one years later. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
The First Amendment states Congress show making a law.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
We've all heard it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
There are those who argue that the plain language of
the First Amendment only applies to Congress, not the judiciary.
After all, the court always has the power to control
their proceedings, including for efficiency and fairness. I haven't done
much research on the issue, so my instinct is to
say it depends. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. Let's see Oh,
(16:44):
I like this JT and Livermore. Where's the press announcement
from the Biden administration about Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He's sent along a headline.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That there are various demands that Israel protects civilians, and
he says, where's the call from the international community demand
that Iran make the protection of Israeli citizens their highest priority?
Or Israeli civilians? I should say, Yeah, nobody's saying that
about Hamas or Rhyme's many proxies. Your number one priority
(17:12):
should be protecting Israeli civilians.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Nobody says that.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Hamas released another hostage video over the weekend, and one
of the family members was on Face the nation and
I was so mad. I was yelling at my television.
I have to tell that story. A lot of stuff
on the way.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I hope you can stay.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Here, armstrong and getty, like many of you here tonight,
I pretend to do news on TV. My weekend Update
co anchor Michael Jay was going to join me here tonight,
(17:47):
but in solidarity with President Biden, I decided to lose
all my black support.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, no, grumble, grumble, grumble, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
There some people just throwing her heads back and go flying,
and others like, oh.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Maybe that explains this CNN poll that is hot off
the presses an expression that's at least fifty years old,
certainly forty years old, hot off the presses. New CNN
poll national poll among registered voters, Trump leads by six
(18:28):
That's the biggest lead he's ever had any national poll
according to this, I think, and I don't remember seeing one.
Trump forty nine, Biden forty three. So is that an
outlier or is this a trend heading back the other direction?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Who knows. I mean there's a.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
There's a lot of eroding support from Biden over a
couple of different issues. I mean, the young people were
already headed south. Maybe they've all abandoned him in light
of the whole Israel college protest thing. Or how about
grown ups who see this and don't see the president
speaking out against it. Man, you talk about an easy
win for the president come out against these violent, crazy
(19:05):
protesters on the college campus. As a president, that's such
an easy win, but he won't do it.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, it seems like an obvious case of trying to
please everyone, so you please no one, right, and don't
forget with the younger Quinn Tile of voters. Getting them
to show up is the number one challenge. I mean,
you might have their quote unquote support, but if they
don't show up, it doesn't do any good. And I
see youthful voter enthusiasm for Biden being practically zero, unmeasurable.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Exactly exactly like my tea very low choice for president.
Six point lead for Trump. Then you break it down
one more number on this Trump's president you see was
a success?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yes or no.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Republicans ninety two percent say his presidency was a success.
In January twenty one, that was six points lower, So
it's going up. All these numbers are going up. Independents
fifty one percent say it was a success, also six
points But Democrats only three percent in January of twenty
one said Trump's presidency was a success. It's now up
(20:08):
to a quarter twenty four percent among Democrats.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Wow, I know, wow, Wow, that is voter enthusiasm right there.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
That is quite amazing. Hey, Michael, I just ordered a
box of donuts. I will okay, uh yeah, door Dash
donuts because why I needed cream for my coffee, so
I thought I'd throw it donuts in there. Because I'm
I'm so often a taker and not a giver here
in the office. I eat a lot of other people's donuts,
but I will be in solidarity with you. I will
not eat one. I know you will not eat one,
(20:36):
and we'll hold together. We'll be a band of brothers
against these donuts.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Who he kidding? We're both going to eat it. I'm not.
I'm not going to eat a don't Okay? Well, wow,
this is troubling, Michael.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Are you gonna eat a donut?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
No? No, I won't eat a donut?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
All right? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Wow? I feel I feel if you. If I will
not eat it, If you've.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Given this in this much before you've even smelled them,
I think you're doomed.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I won't look at them. I just won't look at them.
I won't wait one.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right, Why didn't you get some steel cutoat meal
or seven grain bread for your coworkers instead of an
unhealthy snack like doughnut?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Hey, everybody, I got a seven grain bread, Slice it
up and enjoy.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
So.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
In the world's most predictable headline, perhaps in the history
of headlines, California fast food chains are now serving sticker shock.
Restaurants for months have said menu prices are going to
have to rise because of the phony mobbed up union
driven minimum wage for fast food workers unless you work
for Gavin Newsom law. Now they're falling through. Consumers picking
(21:40):
up any sort of fast food are seeing prices that
have been rising at a faster clip than any other
state and much faster than inflation, which this will help cause.
Fast and fast casual restaurants have increased prices by ten
percent over all, and they go through several examples, said
(22:00):
Chipotle chief executive Brian Nicole. The state is not making
it easy to do business. In other words, the state
makes it hard to do business. Of course, that's been
California's reputation for quite some time.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I got three blasts at the Sonic the other day.
They were even mini blasts, two OREO, one M and
M and they are extraordinarily expensive. I was like, what
the idea of let's just get a couple of ice
cream on a beautiful Friday night is just so that
sits in an investment.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, check with your advisor. Fans of populist crap will
enjoy this statement. A spokesman for the governor said fast
food companies can afford to give their workers and deserve
bump and pay.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
They can quote.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
These are wages that will go towards basic necessities like
rent and groceries. And that's the reason the government ought
to be involved in fixing a price for a product,
namely labor.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
God, is that garbage.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You want to restraw for that? You are too stupid
to vote. You're probably too stupid to drive. Just sit
at home, you're too stupid to drive.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Sit it all. Well, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
And they have quotes from various people saying I feel
ripped off. I can't afford to do this. I've got
to cut back how often I eat out, and people
will do that indeed. And oh and they don't even
go into the thousands of workers who've already lost their
jobs as a result of that idiotic and disastrous law.
But moving along, speaking of economic headlines, I thought this
was interesting. Air Conditioning and artificial intelligence are demanding more
(23:33):
of the world's power, and renewables can't possibly keep up,
which means, especially outside the US, which is more careful
with energy production, the amount of coal burned around the
planet is about the skyrocket.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I was not aware until fairly recently how much
energy AI takes and is going to take into a
bunch of really powerful computers running at top speed, and
that really choose up your electricity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, in the US, the new driver of fuel use
electricity use I should says the energy guzzling Artificial intelligence
demand was already on the rise to power electric vehicles,
heat pumps and other devices designed to reduce fossil fuel use.
In the developing world, the boom is just driven by
industrialization and modernization. They now have electric lights in some
(24:21):
parts of India, for instance, for the first time, and
air conditioning, and that means more fossil fuels, says Sumant Sinha,
chief executive of renew one of India's biggest renewable energy companies.
The reality is we can keep adding renewables until we're
blue in the face and it won't be enough. So
look for more coal to be burned in a third
(24:42):
world country near you. How about a quick word from
our friends that simply save home security. Then we can
get back into the headlines of the day.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
How is not more of the zeitgeist on understanding this
whole electric problem, this electricity problem when it comes to
electric cars and all these different sort of things. The
electricity has to come from somewhere. How is that not
like busted through as something everybody understands. I think, getting
(25:13):
back to our discussion of the college protests and all,
a lot of it is just pandering to simpletons who
think they're doing the right thing and get all enthusiastic
about anything that's not fossil fuel. I don't think it through.
We're back to you're too dumb to drive a car.
Stay home.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Just sit at home, Yeah, exactly, and stay out of
the rest of our way, all right. Simply Safe Home
Security number one rated security system according to US News
and World reported Newsweek. System blankets your home and protection
has sensors to detect to detect break ins, fire's, floods,
and more, plus a variety of indoor and outdoor cameras
to keep watch over your property day at night. Too
(25:51):
many scumbags, not enough cops.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It's a lot more relaxing to walk out the door
and know you got Simply Safe doing its work twenty
four to seven professional monitoring and only paying about a
dollar a day for it to make sure that you'd
catch anybody if anything happens. The monitoring agents can even
stop crime in real time by speaking to intruders.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Through the wireless indoor camera. How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
No contract, sixty day money back guarantee, less than a
buck a day for the monitoring. Try simply safe risk free,
and we want you to get twenty percent off any
new simply Safe system when you sign up for fast
protect monitoring. So just visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong.
That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong for that twenty
percent off. There's no safe like simply safe. So much
(26:37):
of politics and even economics these days, it's just such
silly emotional thinking. Like you were pointing out, you would think,
all right, I'm really into the idea of climate change
or renewable energy or whatever. Therefore, you know, think about
what you're really into, things you think are important or
exciting or whatever. In my case, I learn everything I
(27:02):
can about those things. That's part of being excited about it.
It seems like that's the last thing a lot of
your renewable energy enthusiasts do. Could they tell you about
the incredible amount of energy it takes to mine the
materials for an electric car battery, for instance?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Mostly not?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I meant I read a great breakdown that of the
other day, I should bring that in. It's long and complicated,
but it got into it got a is granular as
the big giant bulldozer, and how many hours it has
to run with its big giant diesel engine to dig
up x number of kilos of whichever mineral goes into
(27:39):
a big giant Tesla battery. When you start doing the
math on all the different sort of stuff, it just
doesn't work out.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No, no, it doesn't. Also from the world of technology,
we have this headline. Sam Altman of open Ai and
the chief executives of Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet are among
technology industry leaders. A new federal advisory board focused on
the secure use of AI within US critical infrastructure in
(28:06):
the Biden administration's latest effort to fill a regulatory vacuum
over the rapidly proliferating technology, something tells me it's not
going to do any good.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Now there are a bunch of heavyweights.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
The chief executive Northrope Grumman Delta Airlines. Yeah, I just
think rogue actors are gonna or China are going to
get where they want to get. And then Katie bar
the door.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
No, it absolutely is not going to work.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I guess you could make the argument that it's worth trying,
but I'm not positive it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Is even worth trying. Well, now, some of the.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Things I think they're doing are are worth doing there
because security national security officials are concerned about vulnerabilities, including
potential physical attacks, cyber intrusions, and accidents on infrastructure, critical infrastructure, water,
And in fact, that reminds me I meant to get
to this so anyway. They want to make sure they
(29:01):
understand how AI could affect that and how they can
protect infrastructure, which is worth doing. But that reminds me
absolutely no coverage of this story for reasons I do
not get at all. There's a little town in Texas,
Panhandle town in Texas where a Russian hacker group hacked
into their water supply and flooded the water system there
(29:27):
as something like a test run, but it got no
attention whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I'll tell you what we've got to talk about at
some point is South Dakota Governor Christy Noome talking about
shooting her dog and what a what a political conversation
that was over the weekend. Oh man, So she's not
going to be on the ticket. That's the end of that.
If you haven't heard that story. We'll get to it,
among other things.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, I was totally unaware of it until I was
flipping through Twitter and people were going crazy talking about
how sex.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
She is for murdering her dog. I'm like, murdering her dog?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
What?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh my god. Anyway, so we got Katie's headlines on
the way, A bunch of.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Other stuff stay with us, Armstrong.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
A couple of quick texts regarding the height to minimum
wage and what it's doing to restaurants.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Wish I had grabbed a photo.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Domino's Pizza has a sign now that says we no
longer give you tensils, plates, or cheese because of the
new minimum wage.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
That's their way of combating that.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Another text said, it is cruel for you to buy
donuts in front of your diabetic coworker.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Uh. Perhaps I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I just set the donuts out there, Michael, I will
not eat one I bought them for.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I will not myself. Perhaps some unslavored Greek yogurt would
be a better alternative. Perhaps I'll get that in the
seven grain bread next time.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yes, one step, no less a six grain bread out.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
One headline before we get to Katie's that I don't
know if you have this happened on Friday. I mean
because it happened on or it got released on Friday,
which might not be an accident. But the story that
that peer we're constructing off of Gaza got attacked and
one worker got injured and a bunch of equipment got
blown up. Fairly minor attack, but Hamas was firing mortars
(31:19):
on it, and there's going to be a lot more
of that as we build that thing.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
That's the peer to supply the people with food and medicine,
right correct, and Hamas is attacking it.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Hum.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Hum, all right, do that math for me. College girl,
go ahead, what's happening there? What do you suppose is
going on there?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
They have no idea.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Katie, thank you guys, and speaking of the college girl
from ABC News. College protests police cracked down lead to
hundreds of arrests across the country.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, about nine hundred.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I feel like there could have been about fifteen thousand
arrests if you actually want to do us stop these things.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
From NBC News.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Israel fears International Criminal Court will issue a rest warrant
for Nettan, Yahoo and other top officials.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh, I saw that headline.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
So they're talking to RESK warrants for Israeli officials and
HUMAS officials.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
So talk about your empty gestures.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, no kidding from USA today.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Well, Ron DeSantis helped Donald Trump's twenty twenty four campaign.
They met privately this weekend in Florida.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
That'll be interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
If you get into politics, you better prepare for the
fact that you're going to have to pretend to like
or do business with people you loathe.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
At various points.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
From the Wall Street Journal, even if the FED cuts,
the days of ultra low rates are over.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, yeah, I said that the whole time it was
going on. Joe and I both did it.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Those will never come back in any of our lifetimes
when they are people getting three percent home rates. But
now we've kind of got it in our head that
that's what's got to get back to before it makes
sense to buy a house. Well, and it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
No, it's crazy artificial low unless there's some sort of cataclysm.
But if that's the case, there's been a cataclysm, So.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It's not a good deal.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
In Palace from vox dot Com The AI grift that
can literally poison you when AI comes for mushroom foragers,
there's an AI book. There's an AI book going around
basically telling mushroom foragers that the poisonous ones are the
ones that are okay, that are okay.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Oh wow, that's not good. No.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Heard a thing about how Amazon is having to work
so hard so fast to take down books that have
stuff like that in them, that are just so incredibly
wrong and written by AI that they they can't have
them on their platform, but they can't take They're going
they're going up faster than they can take them down.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, we got an email from a listener who I
can't remember what function he had, but I think he
may have worked for Amazon or something. But he figured
out which books are AI and had the very first
review be from him as don t buy, as in
don't buy, and he pinned that review just so people
(34:23):
would know.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
But so, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Guess that's a big deal. Oh what if it's killing
mushroom foragers.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
But yeah, it's really easy, Like I could make a
quickie book on AI like immediately, that is, you know,
how to get your kid through school? So they'll get
a good job or something like that, and then parents
just googling or searching on Amazon for some sort of
book about that topic might buy it. And so there's
something like that on every topic, gardening for the Organic
(34:49):
minded or whatever you want to call it. An AI
spits out a book and people don't pay attention and
they buy them. And so Amazon's really struggling to figure
out what to do with this situation.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And here's a tip.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The best place to forage for mushrooms your local grocery store.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
They have them all the time.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
From Fox News, NASA astronauts arrive for Boeing's first human spaceflight.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Good luck lying on the Boeing spaceship does not sound
like a good plan.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
From The New York Post, chat GPT overwhelmingly depicts financiers
CEOs as men and women as secretaries.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Wow, okay, chat GPT is sexist. Where they're going with that,
good Lord?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
And finally, the Babylon Bee to avoid falling, Biden to
traverse lawn in giant hamster ball.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
So that's based on the political story last week that
they are now going to have a like a all
his helpers are going to walk in kind of a
circle around him when he walks from the hell copter
into the White House, as opposed to him strolling alone
across the yard like presidents have done for a long time,
because he looks so old. Wow, trying to cover up
(36:10):
the shuffle, Yeah, which not a bad idea, no, but
it's obvious and will probably lead to as much or
more talk. I mean, if you just let him shuffle,
you got an old man shuffling. If you're actively visibly
covering up the shuffle, then people think, why are they
working so hard to cover it up?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I know he's old, he must be even older than
I thought. What point are they gonna be pulling him
in a rickshaw or something?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I mean, I don't know if he's long for just
being able to walk across the lawn
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Armstrong and Getty
Now protests live Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty and Key
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Who live from Studio CE see senior dimly let room
deeper than the bowel to the Armstrong and getting communications
compound to kick off a brand new week, pregnant with possibilities.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
We are under the tutelage of our general manager. Hiring
process has gone poorly so far. Do you have a
nomination yourself excited about any of us?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Boy, that's a good one. I mean, I hate to
be kind of trite, but man, the college campus protests
continue to be quite the delio.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, I agree, I agree. Let's go with angry ignorant protesters.
Oh that was judgmental. I apologize.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I think the emphasis should be on the other side.
How about stupid complicit administrators as opposed to the protesters.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm reminded. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm gonna sound more sophisticated by saying one is reminded,
Hang on that, thanks, nish.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
One is reminded.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
One is reminded of the time honored quote from philosopher
Homer Simpson. Why do the things that happen as stupid
people keep happening to me? As we hear the bellows
of the college administrators saying.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Why have we reaped what we sold? Come on for?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Instead of educating people, young people, you spent the last
twenty years trying to turn them into a little revolutionaries.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What do you expect was gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Right, And in some cases, like at Columbia, you got
a bunch of people that were revolutionaries in the sixties
on the board at the university, so they love this
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But anyway, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
How many times have I heard today already negotiations continue
at this university, or administrators at this university say negotiations
are going.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Why are you negotiating?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
It reminds me when I talk to my kids about
various things and I say something and they come back
with on my house, I.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Say, we're not having a negotiation about this. Why are
you negotiating?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
No, no, no, what you're misled college student.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You need to leave now or we're kicking you out
of college.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
We are not going to stop having classes or cancel
our graduation, leave or go along with the program.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's not a negotiation.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I don't understand why they're acting like they have to
give it. I don't remember what university. There are now
so many universities doing this, nine hundred arrests total across
the country over the weekend, but dozens and dozens and
dozens and dozens of universities all across the country, and
I don't remember which one I heard where They released
their list of demands from this university, and the statement
(03:32):
from this kid was something like, the university doesn't seem
to realize what boycott means. Boy if you don't respond
to that with you don't seem to understand your role
versus my role. I don't know who you are. You
have five demands, that's cute. We have three. Number one,
go back to your dorms. Number two, take your tent
(03:53):
with you. Number three take your stuff home because you're expelled.
I just I don't understand and why they're so scared
of their own students because they're a for profit enterprise.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It's a wash in cash. Don't get me started on
the whole student loan thing. It's a giant for profit enterprise.
All those deans of DEI making three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars a year. They don't want to anger the customers.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
And it seems to still be growing nationwide, So I
I don't know where it's going. As we get closer
to graduation, too, I think you're gonna have a lot
more of the Are you going to cancel your graduation
or are you going to try to have graduation and
just have an s storm like in the parking lot
or outside the gate or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, I've got to admit there's part of me that
thinks all this is kind of useful because the probably
substantial portion of Americans who are totally unaware of how
sick and craze this whole woke DEEI neo Marxist thing
is and how far it's gone, are starting.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
To wake up to it.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It's a publicity stunt in favor of sanity.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Almost well, the college students and the stupid, stupid administrators
don't have a lot of people on their side. As
I was watching some MSNBC this morning, and everybody on
there was howling where are the adults and wow, you
know that sort of thing. So, uh, I don't all
the old liberals.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Are finally waking up to, Oh this this, this is
not what we believe all this DEI stuff. Huh.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, we've got some Bill Maher saying the same sort
of thing. So, yeah, a lot of old liberals and
even your lefty cable news channels are why are you
putting up with this so well, I don't think there's
been any polling yet nationwide on where the public is
on this, but I guarantee it's overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Go to class.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Yeah, and you keep talking about the point and this
is this is news to me, and it has changed
my entire view of everything. Really, when you were talking
last week about the fact that all of this stuff, microaggression,
train stuff, climate change, every every aspect of this stuff
is just Marxism trying to tear down the system. But
(06:05):
Elon Musk had a great tweet over the weekend that
are retweeted to that point, and it was some woman
talking to some dude. But the woman said, I want
to fight climate change. Guy says, be honest. Woman says,
I am being honest, be honest. Okay, I want communism,
thank you. So it's the idea that climate change, whatever
it is, everything is it's all about just trying to
(06:26):
get Marxism going. And I think that is for the
top level of all this sort of stuff. But I
saw more interviews with hilarious college students on the campus.
Is that they have no clue about that. They don't
even know about the Israel thing.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
They're just there win attend, trying to disrupt their university
right because it's exciting, and because I came across one
psychologist saying that these kids are so angry and scarred
by being kept apart and out of school during COVID
that a lot of this is working out that anger
and the need to just associate with other human beings
because they're desperate for it. So this is a chance
(07:02):
to do that. And I think there's probably some of
that at play too. It's a stew of, you know,
both healthy and unhealthy emotions. But the puppet masters above
are absolutely just trying to tear down the systems. Like
that quote I read last week about climate changes, a
lot more than the climate. It's equity, it's a diversity
and inclusion. It's anti colonialism, it's anti racism. It's just
(07:26):
it's a dozen different reasons to tear down the system,
all grouped together.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So we played on Friday one of the leaders of
the Columbia protests that was telling us we should all
be thankful he hasn't murdered Jews yet. There are more
clips of him that came out. He's not afraid to
hide his feelings, and we'll hear more from him. It's
it's nutjob stuff, but it gives you an idea who
some of these leaders of these protests are and how.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
He's gender confused too.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
That's a shock. We should start to show a fish,
particularly on a Monday. I think the fines are higher
on a Monday from the FCC if we don't start officially.
I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is
a Monday, April twenty ninth. We're about out of April. People,
Your twenty twenty four life will not be a born
in twenty four. We're Armstrong and geddy, and we approve
of this program.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Let's beg of the show for the week officially now,
according to FCC rules.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Rags at Mark.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
I'm not saying both candidates are old, but you know,
Jimmy Carter is out there thinking.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I couldn't maybe win this thing. I thought that was
pretty funny.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Joe Colin Jose, the comedian speaker at the White House
Correspondence Dinner on Saturday night, which he.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Still despised that event, like you have a year's past.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I do despise that event, and you should despise it.
Everyone should despise that event. But I thought Colin Jose
is pretty funny. All the reviews were poor, but whatever,
who cares. Went to my son's flag football game yesterday.
He had the best player of his life. So that
was very exciting, excellent. He he at the end of
(09:06):
the game, knocked down a pass. Guy was wide open,
he was a guy covering him, ball was in there,
guy was gonna catch. He springs in the air with
that famous armstrong hops.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, slaps off disgust and slaps.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
The ball down.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
And then the best part was I don't know if
you've watched recent youth sports, but it has gone from
the professional level now down to the tiniest level. If
you make any play whatsoever, even if that's just the
play you were supposed to make, you have to flex
and struts and do all these things. Every player does
it on every team and all the sports that I
that I watch.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It's just part of the deal. Now, what a cultural
change that is. I know my dad would.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Have been so unhappy if either one of us had
ever done that, but anyway, everybody does it now. So
my son he makes the first best play of his life,
knocks the ball down in his the flexing and everything
like that, and everybody's got to do so very I've
got to see this.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I'm sure I'd have to get over it for a minute.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
It is something because you got like six year olds
in some case, you know, kicking a soccer goal.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It was just blah blah blah, what's dabbing?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was that what people did? Dabbing? Going on funny? It
is a culture change, and I can't figure out.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
I can't figure out if it's just being an old
man to not like it, or if it's an actual
negative thing, or if it's just you know, it's for
fun and it's the entertainment and they're they're entertaining themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I don't so, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I think it has great cultural significance. It's it's absolutely
a sign of something. But it's not the kid's fault.
Look at me, I don't Uh yeah, it's uh. In
the past, the idea of hot dogging like that, as
we would have called it, it was just unthinkable, and uh,
it's I think the culture has gone from yeah I
did my job, of course, I did my job.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
To look at me, look at me, look at me,
look at me.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Well, there was a there used to be a saying
among you, like your old timey coaches, that if you
score a touchdown, act like you've been there before. You
just hand off the ball to the ref and you
jog back. But that is not what anybody does anymore. No,
you act like you won the Universe Championship with by yourself,
(11:20):
with your one play.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Every single thing you do. It's pretty mucky. I am
a fan of the touchdown dance. I've got to admit.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Spiking of the ball, but that's because that's the ultimate
goal of what you're doing. But like defending a pass
or a gain in eight yards or running play or
something like that, you don't you don't get to do
an eight yard running play dance.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
That isn't a thing. As the kids say, Michael.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
You know, the new thing in the NFL is when
a defense makes a great play, like an interception or something.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
The entire defense runs into the end zone and that's
a dance. Yeah, yeah, for a picture.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, Oh well, whatever, times change.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
How does manbag look that's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
It'll do.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Our text line is four one, five two nine five
kftcar hot off the press's fresh new CNN poll out
that has Trump with his biggest lead.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
In any national poll, and uh so he'll be going
nutsoe and Democratic circcles. If that turns out to not
be an outlier, we'll look at it later.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I tempted to dismiss any national poll, particularly one in April, but.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
The growing dissatisfaction.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
With Joe Biden as a candidate and his growing frailty
in the rest of it, and I think it's worth
keeping at least a one eye on that sort of thing.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I also think it's worth mentioning that, while we don't
elect people with national numbers, he lost the general election
vote both times, including the time he got elected president.
The fact that he's actually ahead when he's lost both
times the total raw vote is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah. True true.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Here's your freedom loving quote of today, wrapping up our series,
from Nicholas Gomez da Villa, the brilliant Colombian reactionary.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This is a good to.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Be a leftist is to judge the adversary not only
guilty of his crimes, but also of your own. I'm
reminded of a lot of the people on the left
saying the protest getting out of hand is the fault
of the cops for trying to enforce the law or
clear out the campuses. After the university said, hey, can
you help us clear out the campus place, that's the
(13:37):
fault of the cops, not of the protesters. So again
they judge the adversary not only guilty of his crimes,
but also of your own. It's good quote, mailbag whoo.
I was reminded the other day of the Twitter account Jack.
You said you were going to feature semi regularly. I'm
not sure we have, but it's the a crime a
day Twitter account.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh right, it's more or less.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Mocking the mind boggling infinites incomprehensible number of federal regulations
that exist.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So they list a crime a day including.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
US Code Section twenty one, subsection six seventy six, and
nine CFR three seventeen dot eight B five subsection two.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I'm not joking.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Make it a federal crime to sell a one pound
or smaller package of sliced bacon if the transparent bacon
preview window is located more than five eighths of an
inch from the top or bottom edge.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Of the package.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Wow, and a bunch of lawyers poured over the wording
of that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, right, a great expense.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Moving along the definition of outer and inner perimeter, John,
who's law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I was mocking the term of outer perimeter.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I said it was redundant, but he said, many times,
when we're set up around a barricaded subject, we have
an inner and outer perimeter. The outer perimeter keeps the
media and civilians out of the way. The tactical team
is on the inner perimeter preparing to make entry. So
that's what those terms mean. Thank you, John, appreciate that.
Let's see, hey guys, love a show for over twenty years.
Thanks Davis from San Jose. We appreciate that quick end
(15:15):
to the student santi Semitic protests place all those that
say I am Hamas and the terror watch list making
their life hell, then go after the colleges for harboring
terrorists as students.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
That would be an activist approach.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Indeed, Sir, I have sympathy to it, but I think
most of the kids are just easily led dunder heads
who need to be slapped and straightened out, and then
they'll grow up.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Got a great example of that coming up a little
bit later. I hope you can stick around for it.
From some of the job protesters over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I like this one from Chris and San Diego on
the question of Donald Trump at his trial and the
gag order in the First Amendment. He says, first, Joe, actually,
I don't know if it's a miss Chris or a
mister Chris.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Joe.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
The first thing your da daughter will learn in law
school is that every answer starts with it depends.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Get used to.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Never having a simple answer to a simple question. Again,
it's your own fault for not discouraging it from this
disastrous life choice.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I still regret doing it thirty one years later. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
The First Amendment states Congress show making a law.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
We've all heard it.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
There are those who argue that the plain language of
the First Amendment only applies to Congress, not the judiciary.
After all, the court always has the power to control
their proceedings, including for efficiency and fairness. I haven't done
much research on the issue, so my instinct is to
say it depends. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. Let's see Oh,
(16:44):
I like this JT and Livermore. Where's the press announcement
from the Biden administration about Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He's sent along a headline.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That there are various demands that Israel protects civilians, and
he says, where's the call from the international community demand
that Iran make the protection of Israeli citizens their highest priority?
Or Israeli civilians? I should say, Yeah, nobody's saying that
about Hamas or Rhyme's many proxies. Your number one priority
(17:12):
should be protecting Israeli civilians.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Nobody says that.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Hamas released another hostage video over the weekend, and one
of the family members was on Face the nation and
I was so mad. I was yelling at my television.
I have to tell that story. A lot of stuff
on the way.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I hope you can stay.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Here, armstrong and getty, like many of you here tonight,
I pretend to do news on TV. My weekend Update
co anchor Michael Jay was going to join me here tonight,
(17:47):
but in solidarity with President Biden, I decided to lose
all my black support.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, no, grumble, grumble, grumble, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
There some people just throwing her heads back and go flying,
and others like, oh.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Maybe that explains this CNN poll that is hot off
the presses an expression that's at least fifty years old,
certainly forty years old, hot off the presses. New CNN
poll national poll among registered voters, Trump leads by six
(18:28):
That's the biggest lead he's ever had any national poll
according to this, I think, and I don't remember seeing one.
Trump forty nine, Biden forty three. So is that an
outlier or is this a trend heading back the other direction?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Who knows. I mean there's a.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
There's a lot of eroding support from Biden over a
couple of different issues. I mean, the young people were
already headed south. Maybe they've all abandoned him in light
of the whole Israel college protest thing. Or how about
grown ups who see this and don't see the president
speaking out against it. Man, you talk about an easy
win for the president come out against these violent, crazy
(19:05):
protesters on the college campus. As a president, that's such
an easy win, but he won't do it.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, it seems like an obvious case of trying to
please everyone, so you please no one, right, and don't
forget with the younger Quinn Tile of voters. Getting them
to show up is the number one challenge. I mean,
you might have their quote unquote support, but if they
don't show up, it doesn't do any good. And I
see youthful voter enthusiasm for Biden being practically zero, unmeasurable.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Exactly exactly like my tea very low choice for president.
Six point lead for Trump. Then you break it down
one more number on this Trump's president you see was
a success?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yes or no.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Republicans ninety two percent say his presidency was a success.
In January twenty one, that was six points lower, So
it's going up. All these numbers are going up. Independents
fifty one percent say it was a success, also six
points But Democrats only three percent in January of twenty
one said Trump's presidency was a success. It's now up
(20:08):
to a quarter twenty four percent among Democrats.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Wow, I know, wow, Wow, that is voter enthusiasm right there.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
That is quite amazing. Hey, Michael, I just ordered a
box of donuts. I will okay, uh yeah, door Dash
donuts because why I needed cream for my coffee, so
I thought I'd throw it donuts in there. Because I'm
I'm so often a taker and not a giver here
in the office. I eat a lot of other people's donuts,
but I will be in solidarity with you. I will
not eat one. I know you will not eat one,
(20:36):
and we'll hold together. We'll be a band of brothers
against these donuts.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Who he kidding? We're both going to eat it. I'm not.
I'm not going to eat a don't Okay? Well, wow,
this is troubling, Michael.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Are you gonna eat a donut?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
No? No, I won't eat a donut?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
All right? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Wow? I feel I feel if you. If I will
not eat it, If you've.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Given this in this much before you've even smelled them,
I think you're doomed.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I won't look at them. I just won't look at them.
I won't wait one.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right, Why didn't you get some steel cutoat meal
or seven grain bread for your coworkers instead of an
unhealthy snack like doughnut?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Hey, everybody, I got a seven grain bread, Slice it
up and enjoy.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
So.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
In the world's most predictable headline, perhaps in the history
of headlines, California fast food chains are now serving sticker shock.
Restaurants for months have said menu prices are going to
have to rise because of the phony mobbed up union
driven minimum wage for fast food workers unless you work
for Gavin Newsom law. Now they're falling through. Consumers picking
(21:40):
up any sort of fast food are seeing prices that
have been rising at a faster clip than any other
state and much faster than inflation, which this will help cause.
Fast and fast casual restaurants have increased prices by ten
percent over all, and they go through several examples, said
(22:00):
Chipotle chief executive Brian Nicole. The state is not making
it easy to do business. In other words, the state
makes it hard to do business. Of course, that's been
California's reputation for quite some time.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I got three blasts at the Sonic the other day.
They were even mini blasts, two OREO, one M and
M and they are extraordinarily expensive. I was like, what
the idea of let's just get a couple of ice
cream on a beautiful Friday night is just so that
sits in an investment.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, check with your advisor. Fans of populist crap will
enjoy this statement. A spokesman for the governor said fast
food companies can afford to give their workers and deserve
bump and pay.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
They can quote.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
These are wages that will go towards basic necessities like
rent and groceries. And that's the reason the government ought
to be involved in fixing a price for a product,
namely labor.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
God, is that garbage.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You want to restraw for that? You are too stupid
to vote. You're probably too stupid to drive. Just sit
at home, you're too stupid to drive.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Sit it all. Well, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
And they have quotes from various people saying I feel
ripped off. I can't afford to do this. I've got
to cut back how often I eat out, and people
will do that indeed. And oh and they don't even
go into the thousands of workers who've already lost their
jobs as a result of that idiotic and disastrous law.
But moving along, speaking of economic headlines, I thought this
was interesting. Air Conditioning and artificial intelligence are demanding more
(23:33):
of the world's power, and renewables can't possibly keep up,
which means, especially outside the US, which is more careful
with energy production, the amount of coal burned around the
planet is about the skyrocket.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I was not aware until fairly recently how much
energy AI takes and is going to take into a
bunch of really powerful computers running at top speed, and
that really choose up your electricity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, in the US, the new driver of fuel use
electricity use I should says the energy guzzling Artificial intelligence
demand was already on the rise to power electric vehicles,
heat pumps and other devices designed to reduce fossil fuel use.
In the developing world, the boom is just driven by
industrialization and modernization. They now have electric lights in some
(24:21):
parts of India, for instance, for the first time, and
air conditioning, and that means more fossil fuels, says Sumant Sinha,
chief executive of renew one of India's biggest renewable energy companies.
The reality is we can keep adding renewables until we're
blue in the face and it won't be enough. So
look for more coal to be burned in a third
(24:42):
world country near you. How about a quick word from
our friends that simply save home security. Then we can
get back into the headlines of the day.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
How is not more of the zeitgeist on understanding this
whole electric problem, this electricity problem when it comes to
electric cars and all these different sort of things. The
electricity has to come from somewhere. How is that not
like busted through as something everybody understands. I think, getting
(25:13):
back to our discussion of the college protests and all,
a lot of it is just pandering to simpletons who
think they're doing the right thing and get all enthusiastic
about anything that's not fossil fuel. I don't think it through.
We're back to you're too dumb to drive a car.
Stay home.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Just sit at home, Yeah, exactly, and stay out of
the rest of our way, all right. Simply Safe Home
Security number one rated security system according to US News
and World reported Newsweek. System blankets your home and protection
has sensors to detect to detect break ins, fire's, floods,
and more, plus a variety of indoor and outdoor cameras
to keep watch over your property day at night. Too
(25:51):
many scumbags, not enough cops.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It's a lot more relaxing to walk out the door
and know you got Simply Safe doing its work twenty
four to seven professional monitoring and only paying about a
dollar a day for it to make sure that you'd
catch anybody if anything happens. The monitoring agents can even
stop crime in real time by speaking to intruders.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Through the wireless indoor camera. How awesome is that?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
No contract, sixty day money back guarantee, less than a
buck a day for the monitoring. Try simply safe risk free,
and we want you to get twenty percent off any
new simply Safe system when you sign up for fast
protect monitoring. So just visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong.
That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong for that twenty
percent off. There's no safe like simply safe. So much
(26:37):
of politics and even economics these days, it's just such
silly emotional thinking. Like you were pointing out, you would think,
all right, I'm really into the idea of climate change
or renewable energy or whatever. Therefore, you know, think about
what you're really into, things you think are important or
exciting or whatever. In my case, I learn everything I
(27:02):
can about those things. That's part of being excited about it.
It seems like that's the last thing a lot of
your renewable energy enthusiasts do. Could they tell you about
the incredible amount of energy it takes to mine the
materials for an electric car battery, for instance?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Mostly not?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I meant I read a great breakdown that of the
other day, I should bring that in. It's long and complicated,
but it got into it got a is granular as
the big giant bulldozer, and how many hours it has
to run with its big giant diesel engine to dig
up x number of kilos of whichever mineral goes into
(27:39):
a big giant Tesla battery. When you start doing the
math on all the different sort of stuff, it just
doesn't work out.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
No, no, it doesn't. Also from the world of technology,
we have this headline. Sam Altman of open Ai and
the chief executives of Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet are among
technology industry leaders. A new federal advisory board focused on
the secure use of AI within US critical infrastructure in
(28:06):
the Biden administration's latest effort to fill a regulatory vacuum
over the rapidly proliferating technology, something tells me it's not
going to do any good.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Now there are a bunch of heavyweights.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
The chief executive Northrope Grumman Delta Airlines. Yeah, I just
think rogue actors are gonna or China are going to
get where they want to get. And then Katie bar
the door.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
No, it absolutely is not going to work.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I guess you could make the argument that it's worth trying,
but I'm not positive it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Is even worth trying. Well, now, some of the.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Things I think they're doing are are worth doing there
because security national security officials are concerned about vulnerabilities, including
potential physical attacks, cyber intrusions, and accidents on infrastructure, critical infrastructure, water,
And in fact, that reminds me I meant to get
to this so anyway. They want to make sure they
(29:01):
understand how AI could affect that and how they can
protect infrastructure, which is worth doing. But that reminds me
absolutely no coverage of this story for reasons I do
not get at all. There's a little town in Texas,
Panhandle town in Texas where a Russian hacker group hacked
into their water supply and flooded the water system there
(29:27):
as something like a test run, but it got no
attention whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I'll tell you what we've got to talk about at
some point is South Dakota Governor Christy Noome talking about
shooting her dog and what a what a political conversation
that was over the weekend. Oh man, So she's not
going to be on the ticket. That's the end of that.
If you haven't heard that story. We'll get to it,
among other things.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, I was totally unaware of it until I was
flipping through Twitter and people were going crazy talking about
how sex.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
She is for murdering her dog. I'm like, murdering her dog?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
What?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh my god. Anyway, so we got Katie's headlines on
the way, A bunch of.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Other stuff stay with us, Armstrong.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
A couple of quick texts regarding the height to minimum
wage and what it's doing to restaurants.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Wish I had grabbed a photo.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Domino's Pizza has a sign now that says we no
longer give you tensils, plates, or cheese because of the
new minimum wage.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
That's their way of combating that.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Another text said, it is cruel for you to buy
donuts in front of your diabetic coworker.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Uh. Perhaps I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
I just set the donuts out there, Michael, I will
not eat one I bought them for.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I will not myself. Perhaps some unslavored Greek yogurt would
be a better alternative. Perhaps I'll get that in the
seven grain bread next time.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yes, one step, no less a six grain bread out.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
One headline before we get to Katie's that I don't
know if you have this happened on Friday. I mean
because it happened on or it got released on Friday,
which might not be an accident. But the story that
that peer we're constructing off of Gaza got attacked and
one worker got injured and a bunch of equipment got
blown up. Fairly minor attack, but Hamas was firing mortars
(31:19):
on it, and there's going to be a lot more
of that as we build that thing.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
That's the peer to supply the people with food and medicine,
right correct, and Hamas is attacking it.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Hum.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Hum, all right, do that math for me. College girl,
go ahead, what's happening there? What do you suppose is
going on there?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
They have no idea.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
with Katie Green.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Katie, thank you guys, and speaking of the college girl
from ABC News. College protests police cracked down lead to
hundreds of arrests across the country.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, about nine hundred.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I feel like there could have been about fifteen thousand
arrests if you actually want to do us stop these things.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
From NBC News.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Israel fears International Criminal Court will issue a rest warrant
for Nettan, Yahoo and other top officials.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh, I saw that headline.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
So they're talking to RESK warrants for Israeli officials and
HUMAS officials.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
So talk about your empty gestures.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, no kidding from USA today.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Well, Ron DeSantis helped Donald Trump's twenty twenty four campaign.
They met privately this weekend in Florida.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
That'll be interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
If you get into politics, you better prepare for the
fact that you're going to have to pretend to like
or do business with people you loathe.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
At various points.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
From the Wall Street Journal, even if the FED cuts,
the days of ultra low rates are over.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, yeah, I said that the whole time it was
going on. Joe and I both did it.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Those will never come back in any of our lifetimes
when they are people getting three percent home rates. But
now we've kind of got it in our head that
that's what's got to get back to before it makes
sense to buy a house. Well, and it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
No, it's crazy artificial low unless there's some sort of cataclysm.
But if that's the case, there's been a cataclysm, So.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
It's not a good deal.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
In Palace from vox dot Com The AI grift that
can literally poison you when AI comes for mushroom foragers,
there's an AI book. There's an AI book going around
basically telling mushroom foragers that the poisonous ones are the
ones that are okay, that are okay.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Oh wow, that's not good. No.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Heard a thing about how Amazon is having to work
so hard so fast to take down books that have
stuff like that in them, that are just so incredibly
wrong and written by AI that they they can't have
them on their platform, but they can't take They're going
they're going up faster than they can take them down.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, we got an email from a listener who I
can't remember what function he had, but I think he
may have worked for Amazon or something. But he figured
out which books are AI and had the very first
review be from him as don t buy, as in
don't buy, and he pinned that review just so people
(34:23):
would know.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
But so, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Guess that's a big deal. Oh what if it's killing
mushroom foragers.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
But yeah, it's really easy, Like I could make a
quickie book on AI like immediately, that is, you know,
how to get your kid through school? So they'll get
a good job or something like that, and then parents
just googling or searching on Amazon for some sort of
book about that topic might buy it. And so there's
something like that on every topic, gardening for the Organic
(34:49):
minded or whatever you want to call it. An AI
spits out a book and people don't pay attention and
they buy them. And so Amazon's really struggling to figure
out what to do with this situation.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And here's a tip.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The best place to forage for mushrooms your local grocery store.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
They have them all the time.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
From Fox News, NASA astronauts arrive for Boeing's first human spaceflight.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Good luck lying on the Boeing spaceship does not sound
like a good plan.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
From The New York Post, chat GPT overwhelmingly depicts financiers
CEOs as men and women as secretaries.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Wow, okay, chat GPT is sexist. Where they're going with that,
good Lord?
Speaker 6 (35:40):
And finally, the Babylon Bee to avoid falling, Biden to
traverse lawn in giant hamster ball.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
So that's based on the political story last week that
they are now going to have a like a all
his helpers are going to walk in kind of a
circle around him when he walks from the hell copter
into the White House, as opposed to him strolling alone
across the yard like presidents have done for a long time,
because he looks so old. Wow, trying to cover up
(36:10):
the shuffle, Yeah, which not a bad idea, no, but
it's obvious and will probably lead to as much or
more talk. I mean, if you just let him shuffle,
you got an old man shuffling. If you're actively visibly
covering up the shuffle, then people think, why are they
working so hard to cover it up?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I know he's old, he must be even older than
I thought. What point are they gonna be pulling him
in a rickshaw or something?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I mean, I don't know if he's long for just
being able to walk across the lawn
