Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Haven't mentioned that Secretary of State Blincoln met in person
with President Shiev China overnight. I am far enough into
the David Sanger book about our relationship with China to think,
why do we even try? I mean, unless you're going
to level some sort of concrete threat, any nudging or
(00:39):
any is useless. And anything he says to you is
a lie.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Right, unless it's a concrete you give us this and
we'll give you that. I mean, that sort of thing
is worthwhile. But I read a long account of the
various topics they went into and how Blincoln urged this right,
demanded that, and it's like, what, well, right.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And having, you know, reading that book now, after a
series of Secretaries of State and presidents have asked for
this or warned about that, they're going to do exactly
what they want and until there's you know, pushback, until
you you know, probe and reach bone or steel or
whatever that metaphor is, and so far China has not,
(01:20):
They get to do whatever they want. I don't know.
I don't know what the point of that is. We
still think people everybody in the world really cares what
we think.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I guess, yeah. I wonder if part of it is
just the way journalists describe this stuff and blink and
reads it and thinks, yes. I didn't urge them to
be better on human rights. I told them, if they
don't do this, we'll do that. It's just it's all transactional.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just went through that part of the book yesterday.
So that was back when China's really starting their One Belt,
One Road initiative of various places and these little African
countries and everything like that. We talked about this at
the time. But so we were in these countries funding
a variety of things, or offering to fund a variety
(02:06):
of things, and then China came in and they chose China.
Why did they choose China because we were putting all
these strings attached to the aid we were giving. You
have to do this in this on human rights. You
have to you know, you have to zero emissions. That
has to be your goal, and all these different things
and gay rights.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And democratic reforms.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Right, if you want our aid, we'll give you. You know. However,
many billion dollars here in some god forsaken African country.
But you need to human rights, climate change, China, come
and see do whatever the hell you want. We don't
care about climate change or human rights.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What do you want us to make out the check too?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We'll give you this money if you let us be
in control of your port and your cell phone towers
and a variety of other things. And of course we
lost forgot to mention it yesterday, our second African country
that we've pulled our troops out of in the last
couple of weeks. They now are going to rely on
China for their added security in those countries for probably
(03:04):
these same reasons I just mentioned. There are no strings attached. Well,
there are strings attached with China, but not the ridiculous
climate change human rights stuff that we push. And there's
no ridiculous still. We just don't have any leverage on
it right exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And since mostly most of these countries are run by
warlords anyway, I mean, they don't even make a gesture
toward real representative governance. We go in and we say
you've got to enact these reforms, all of which we can.
The warlords hold on power just because again they're nothing
like a representative democracy and don't even want to pretend.
(03:41):
And China comes in and says, not only do we
not give a damn that your warlord, Well, we'll make
sure you stay in power. We'll give you security guarantees.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
When we're the only game in town, we could go
around saying we'll give you aid if you act this way.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But that's over with very very few exceptions of ideology
and history, like the USR relationship with the Britain. In
France and a couple other countries, there's only two ways
to have friends in international relations. Either bribe them or
threaten them. That's it. And a lot of people think
foreign aid is like generosity. It's not. It's bribery. It's
(04:18):
pure bribery, some of which accomplishes some really cool stuff,
saves babies, cures diseases, the rest of it. But I
think a lot of people's objection to a lot of
foreign aid is they don't recognize what it is and
why it happens. Some of it's humanitarian, I don't mean
one hundred percent of it, but it's mostly just bribery. Anyway,
(04:38):
We've got a lot to talk about this hour. One
more hour of the week. It's going to be frantic,
Oh my gosh, action packed and info taming. But first,
let's take a fond look back of the week that was.
It's cow clips of the week. This case is an
abomination that a buy like fifteen pounds of meth, which
some of the week.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It is especially important we remember the power of young
people shaping this country.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Is there something that what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I'm pretty sure there. You know what in my straying out?
Yourself is more educated. We are a mass.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You're boss, Well, be glad, be grateful that I'm not
just going out and murdering Zis.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
They have screamed at those suits bear the star of David.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Enjoy your free speech.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
If you disagreed with Hamas, they take you to the
top of the building and push you off, or just
put a bullet in the back of your head.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Tie what we can do next four more years?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What's your message to Joe?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The folks in Ukraine are breathing a huge sigh relief.
She's a story, MoMA.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I want to thank you for such significant support.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Couldn't triumph triumphs in Ukraine?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
The next move of Russian forces could very well be
a direct attack on a NATO ally.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
It's a huge day with high stakes, not just for
Donald Trump at any future president.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Non disclosure agreements are not illegal, and neither is trying
to influence an election.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Blanche called that quote democracy without.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, there can be no presidency
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but continuation of the
Biden administration as national suicide.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Get out, Oh you too, stumpo. I don't like this.
Out of that squish esus shine and shows John and Daddy,
they all do no mind. There's a lot to take
(07:05):
in there. That cow was thick, it was well marbled.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So you got these college protesters all across the country.
Hadn't occurred to me yesterday heard somebody point this out.
One of the things that changed protesting over the year
is tent technology. A couple generations ago, when I was
a kid, canvas tents with big steaks. She had to
drive into the ground. You can't set up a tent
in less than many, many hours, and you couldn't drive
(07:32):
it into the turf. Now, I don't know if you've
bought a tent recently, but this time of the tent
you basically take them out of the bag and they
spring to life. And now you got a tent and
you're safe from the rain and there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So great time to be alive, A great time to
protest in favor of terrorists.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Right, Oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I meant to plug this. If you did not listen
to our two of the show, go through Armstrong and
get One of the first things you'll see is an
Armstrong and Getty select cut in which we talk about
at length how and why these lunatics are like a
trans like it's cross dressing. What do they call it?
(08:15):
Drag Queen story hour had little kids chant free Palestine.
Wait a minute, drag quick pre Palestine? What and how?
Somebody says the climate change is not just about energy,
it's about colonialism and racism and structural patriarchy, and we
need to tear it all down. And the idea that
(08:38):
it's everything at wants ism, it's all one thing. Ism
is what this one writer called it. And they are
trying to tear down Western civilization. And there are a
lot of great quotes and they explain it. It is
rock solid reasoning and we beg of you grab it
at Armstrong and getty dot com because it's really important.
And the reason I brought this up and plugging it
(09:00):
so strenuously is what Bill Barr said. That's exactly what
he was talking about, how a continuation of the Biden
administration is national suicide because we will continue to indulge
the DEI structural racism, you know, critical race theory, whatever,
it's all tearing down Western civilization. Don't believe it. Listen
(09:23):
to the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So I'm eating at a restaurant the other day with Henry,
and I'm usually pretty good at not hearing other people's conversations.
They can go on around me and I just don't
even notice them. And I know some people are built
in such a way that if you can hear them,
you can't not listen. Correct, that's me, that's you, Yeah,
(09:47):
because I've known people like that, Like I can't have
a conversation with with who I'm with because they can't
stop listening to that booth over there. Highly annoying for
your dinner. I can't talk, You're stuck listening to them.
I usually don't. I'm usually not like that, But the
other day, this one. I think it's because I picked
(10:07):
up on the topic matter. They were describing their gross
dental work that they'd had in great detail, like five
feet away from me, really loud while I'm trying to eat.
It was so disgusting. Is that Is that a moment
where you what do you do? Is there anything to
do in that situation other than move? There wasn't really
(10:29):
anybody place to move too.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, I yeah, I don't know. I'm that sort of
situation makes me so uncomfortable. Like I was at a
concert the other night. It was a vocal group thing
like a choir, and there is a I'm just.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Mad about Sally and Sally's mad. Joe goes to a
lot of barbershop quartet stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I actually I kind of do, but anyway, but this
was a more classical thing. But this gal behind me
decides it's time for a snack, and she's doing what
you loathe the most, jack hard plastic wrapper every time
she goes in for more snacks, crinkly, crinkly. And it
went on for an absurd amount of time.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Right, I always want to reach over and I'm gonna
take the box out of the plastic. Now I'm gonna
hold onto the plastic. Now you enjoy your mic and
ikes or whatever the hell it is, but no more
plastic sound, jackass, I'm gonna murder someone.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So finally, after I'd put up with it, I mean
I was, I went beyond rage to a musisement, back
to rage again, and I finally did something I almost
never do, because I don't like hostility. Everybody's there to
enjoy a show. I don't want them behind me sitting
angry at me, because then I'll be conscious of that
and I'll But I finally turned around and gave her
the look of death and uh, and she wandered out.
(11:47):
And actually a little bit later on, she started coughing
uncontrollably and uh and wandered out.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Because you had your arm around her next so tight.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Probably but wrinkling plastic at a classical concert, thinking that
it's not that loud, and people like two rows in
front of me were turned around, like what the hell,
how are you that unsullf away?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I don't know, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I got to bring a squirt gun with me everywhere
I go and just scort people in the face because
I'm not a violent man. But they need to be
corrected like a cat on a countertop. There needs to
be a sanction.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That reminds me. Somebody at a local school, high school kid,
I had a squirt gun, opened the door to a classroom,
stuck the squirt gun in their scut scort scort score,
and then ran out. Well, it caused a locked down,
the school searched the lockers. Possible shooter on campus. Thing
need to happen. Oh no, and I got all completely
(12:45):
out of hand.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, wasn't the scuore gun made out of like bright
green plastics?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I have no idea. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So no, I was yeah, yeah, read the room, which
is the nation.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm all for a good prank, but m.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, bad choice. There's another thing we got to get
on before we get done today. I don't know. I've
lost my WTL your will to live, will will ebbing?
Maybe coffee? Yeah, why don't we take a break. I've
got something pretty interesting on China. I don't know if
(13:25):
people want that. I don't know if you've looked at
used cars lately. Where I was going to remember how
much used cars were worth during the pandemic and everything
like that. Where things Now, here's the latest kind of
interesting among other things on the way stay here?
Speaker 10 (13:35):
What is the joge ating on me?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
Old?
Speaker 10 (13:38):
A succulent chinage old, and I've been carrying this glove
with me for years.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Now's my time. I got one common poll in the glove. Man,
What can I say? Being off my dome and got
a nice little goose egg, It don't feel good.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
I felt like they have a bit of one hundred
and nine mile an hour home run ball.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Yes we get the ball after there no skipped over
the fence. But Josh Pearson, man, he's such a great guy.
He came to toss their toss ball that they do
in between innings. Probably Friday, I'll go get Tommy White
to sign it for me and maybe kiss my bobo.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Sounds like a nice guy. I would like to sit
in the outfield with and have a beer and watch
a baseball game. Big old boy brought his glove to
the to the game, so I mean he's a guy
expecting to hope to get the chance to catch a
home run. But straight off his nogging, as he said,
didn't feel good. I can tell you that the video
(14:40):
was pretty funny. He's sitting there and he's rubbing his head,
liking like it's a three Stooges film. And he's sitting
down there rubbing.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
His head, and you mocked him. Now you're admitting he
seems like a fine fellow. I'll tell you what the
but baseball players do. In Major League Baseball, people understand
that they could never play football. And I think if
you've ever sat like close to an NBA game, like
(15:09):
down on the floor, you understand the speed with which
it moves and you think, wow, I couldn't hang in there.
People don't understand how good baseball players are. As I've
heard read the average you know, not terribly old guy
playing for his softball team whatever, could not play catch
with a major league ball player. They throw it way
(15:30):
too hard, and you think you could catch a towering flyball.
I'll give you five chances.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
No, I don't think I could.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This guy. So this guy went boy. I bet he
played some ball, you know, during his pre three hundred
pound days. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He definitely did like I would do. He just kind
of right off his head. Then he rubbed it. Oh wow,
didn't feel good. I'll tell you that I was reading
this stuff in the Wall Street Journal about people buying cars. Now,
one thing that stuck out to me I thought was
kind of interesting, is, up until fairly recently, it still
(16:08):
was the most common thing someone did if they're going
to buy a car was an in person visit at
the car lot. Now online has surpassed that. More people
pick out their cars online, and quite a few people
don't visit the lot until, like the very end to
(16:29):
pick up the car.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Interesting. I've bought and sold cars in that way. I
think a total of three transactions the online thing.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, especially for new vehicles. It's unless
you're wondering. If I don't know what you're wondering.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But yeah, we helped. It was kind of a complex deal,
but helped a couple of our kids buy vehicles and
we found them the right vehicle through one of those
services delivered to their doors. More or less.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, that is that is certainly the future, and looking
at the graph here, that is the direction it's going.
Phone call tends to be a fairly popular for your
first interaction. Man, I don't call anybody if I can
avoid it, and not because I'm scared to talking about it.
It's just because it's usually a waste of time.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I wouldn't even think of that. Excuse me, do you
have any pickup trucks there looking for a blue wood
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Overnight, Ohio State University joined the growing list of colleges
demonstrating against Israel's war in Gaza. Earlier Thursday, a similar
scene at Emery University. Social media video showed officers tearing
down tents and appearing to use a taser on someone
pinned to the ground. It came a day after more
(17:47):
than fifty people were arrested at the University of Texas at.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Austin portrayed it as a protest against Israel's war against Amas.
Is very check charitable view of it, as opposed to
they're protesting in support of Hamas and the terrorists. So
former Obama speech writer tweeted out, it's dangerous and unacceptable
(18:14):
to call American protesters in college students terrorists or military
proxies of Hesbolah. Yeah. Well, have you seen the picture
going around of a number of different campuses where they've
got the Hezbola flag, an organization that has been a
declared terrorist organization by the United States and the rest
of the world forever.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
They've got the he Bola flag.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Here's somebody sitting around with his acoustic guitar singing with
people with the his Bola flag between them, and it's
out of bounds to call them pro Hezbola.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, I know, Citi Onic. We actually a lot of
it is just particularly the people organizing. It is just
this overall, this is every issue at once. This is uh,
it's all one thing, which we were talking about before.
It's about overthrowing Western civilization, which is why you can
have such a bizarre and unthinkable notion as queers for Palestine.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And if you're a college kid who isn't pro homous
or pro Hizbollah, but the people with the flags are there,
you gotta either like band together and boot them out
or leave the protest.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I mean we went to a lot of tea party rallies,
and if there had been if the dominant theme had
actually been racism or.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Something like that, I would have left.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I wouldn't have just stayed there and continued to march
and say, yeah, I don't believe what they believe, but
I want to be part of the group or.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Something, right, Well, I don't want to weaken the cause
by leaving right, like I'm harshly anti DEI programs. But
if I find myself, you know, with like white supremacists
or neo Nazis or something like that, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm gone that minute, right, And then you got those
girls we played at umpteen times yesterday with the one
girls that why are we here? I don't know. We
should get more informed on that. I mean, that's why.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Sound more educated.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, here's going to protest.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
What end you was doing? What are they doing again
about lot? It was a comedy routine.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Here's a little more from the CBS report today.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Both police and protesters have at times crossed the line,
says Greg Lukianov, the president of the Foundation for Individual
Rights and Expression.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
You don't have a generalized First Amendment right to, you know,
turn the public area of a campus into a camping ground.
But definitely we've seen at places like Emery and places
like U T Austin police taking things much, much too far.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Most detained demonstrators have not been charged with violent offenses,
but there have been several instances of threatening and abusive behavior.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I love Greg Lukianov, He's one of my intellectual heroes.
I think he's wrong on that. I did not see
anything approaching brutality or above the necessary force to take
back order.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
USC has canceled their graduation ceremony. If you haven't heard,
I think it's going to be the first of many
colleges unless they all of a sudden get a backbone
and decide to clamp down on this sort of stuff
and say, hey, you disrupt the graduation, You're out of school.
We're kicking you out of school. Unless they do something
like that, they're gonna have to cancel the graduations because
(21:29):
it'll be a mess. It'll just be a mess.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah. And the little activists and their overlords, their string
pullers know that if USC or any other university does
what's necessary to take back control and restore order, that
they'll be sued. Every single one of those little wind
bags is gonna get lawyered up and soem and it'll
be enormously expensive. It's a multi front, fairly clever, and
(21:56):
completely insidious war against Western civilization.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
If you'd like to hear from one of the leaders
of the Columbia protests, this guy might be the leader,
according to some and some videos showing him at the
very beginning of this thing. But he's certainly one of
the leaders, and he put this out himself. This isn't like.
This isn't a hot mic caught behind scenes. You know,
someone close to the source leaked it. He posted this yesterday.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Listen to this, and so be glad, be grateful that
I'm not just going out and murdering Zionus. I've never
murdered anyone in my life, and I hope to keep
it that way. I genuinely hope to keep it that way.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I haven't murdered any Jews yet. I hope to keep
it that way. If that's not a threat, I don't
know what is.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Sounds like a bit of a theater major, doesn't he anyway?
Speaking of Columbia and what's being said there, Plas eighty one, Michael, so,
occupation is a crime. They don't want a two state solution,
(23:09):
We want all of it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
The guy just said he's hasn't murdered any Jews yet,
and he hopes he doesn't have to as one of
the leaves that cover.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Term Zionists, So he doesn't mean Jews can bull crap.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I guess you're not supposed to do this I keep
hearing this from various quarters the whole turning it around
on the other side.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But going back to the tea party, going back to
the consistency is not a sin.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Imagine one of the leaders of the tea parties saying,
I haven't murdered anybody yet. I hope I don't have to,
and that would just get a pass. The President wouldn't
have an Oval Office address about that, right right? Some
weird times man, and again, I think, well, I've checked
(24:04):
in every day with you. Do you think this is growing,
staying the same, or receding at this point? Yeah, I
beg of you. Got Armstrong and getty dot Com. Listen
to the select cut about it's labeled something about intersectionality,
but you really need to understand it. It's growing a
number of campuses. They've clamped down on a few and
rested a bunch of people, like in Texas they did.
(24:26):
And oh did you see that thing? I tweeted out
the guy who said is it up there in front
of me? He said, I think I got it in
my head. I said, I'm working on my new country song.
Try your campus protests at a college in a red
state and in some of the Red States, they have
(24:49):
arrested people a lot faster. Yeah, yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, it's I'm I find this stuff so interesting,
even as it's so troubling being a student of radical
movements through history, to see it unfolding in real time.
The different layers of activists are that range from hardcore
(25:20):
idlogues who know precisely what they're doing, to the kids
who are in young adults, many many women for whatever reason,
who think they're trying to protect the Palestinian people and
they don't know what the ultimate aim is really of
what they're doing. And then the just complete go along
(25:42):
because it's fashionable idiots like those two young girls in
our favorite clip. It's it's wild to see in real time.
But that anger and potential for violence and energy human
energy that can do real damage. And if somebody caves
in your head who has just a tenth of an
idea why they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Your head remains caved in absolutely. And the book I
read or your Government Overthrown, the book I read about
the French Revolution where the author made the point that
and you only really need like fifteen percent of people
to be interested in the revolution, because you get enough
other tagalogs that you can win the day, and we're
(26:23):
seeing it now. I don't know what percentage of people
are on board with this stuff, but there are a
lot of tagalogs for a variety of reasons, whether you're
into trans writes or climate change, or you don't even
know why you're there, but the cool people are doing it,
so I'll show up and yeah, it's quite amazing. And again,
(26:43):
the women I did it didn't make an impression on
many of time. But in the book of Taylor Two
Cities by Dickens about the French Revolution, the main revolutionary
character in that, Madame Lafarge is her name, was a woman.
Her and her friends. They're willing to spill blood, or
have the men spill blood, you know, for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
And maybe this will be a good note to end
the segment on. I remember so distinctly, Gladys. My two
big kids were probably thirteen and fourteen or something like that,
and they adored their little sister. They had a nice
relationship with her, but Delaney, as the youngest, was being
a bit dictatorial in her demands, and my two big kids,
(27:26):
having studied the French rectal evolution, started calling her robespearre wow.
And it was funny for a couple of minutes. But
they did it repeatedly till it made Delaney cry.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And I said, all right, stop calling your sister one
of the lead radicals of the French Revolution. All right,
you've hurt her feelings now. And I was simultaneously very
proud of my children and ashamed.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Of what a highly intellectual way to make your sister cry.
We will finish strong next. I have only heard a
description the oh sorry, stop it phone. I've only heard
(28:18):
a description of this clip from Michaelangelow, and I'm reading
the very brief written description here on our audio sheet.
Utah couple accidentally sent their cat to California in an
Amazon package, I say, having not heard it, effort to
go viral.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Phony, Well is the cat alive?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yes, that's great.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, then it almost has to be shipped the cats.
It almost has to be on purpose. There's no way
you would accidentally have your cat in a box, even
if it was like, even if it was overnight, I
don't think it would live, would it?
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Some of you would hear it owing, Well, let's find
out together.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Play it, Michael, we got the most amazing, insane news
in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I just couldn't even believe that she was in California.
I thought it was a prank. Like I still still
hard to wrap my brain around. She was trapped in
an Amazon package, and it was in this really big
sized Amazon package.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
We had no idea, so Matt took the package to
the drop off without knowing that our dear cat was inside.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I don't know. They seemed so innocent and goofy.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
No, no, you didn't notice your cat was missing?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Or do?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They don't say they were looking for their cat? Or
how did the cat live? I don't understand that. How
would it have enough air to not die?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
This guy hated the cat and stuck it in the
box and shipped off on purpose. And it's like, hey,
I am mad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's weird, honey. Yeah, I have no idea how that
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I almost got away with it. Weren't for you muddling kids,
we wouldn't have a cat now.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, all right, No, I don't want to answer that
opid phone. Well, here's spam. I need to check something.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Joe's always suspicious of this, and I think for a
good reason that because a lot of the things that
go viral were on purpose. If it's a hot chick,
it was on purpose. It's a hot chick dressed hot.
And this just happened to me. No, okay, whatever, I
know what you're up to.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
All right, all right, I've done the journalism that needed
to be done. Let's see cats love boxes. It appears
this cat also fancies shoes.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't see how the cat live days later. No, No,
a cat was not in a box for seven days,
and either one nobody noticed it wasn't meowing or something
when it was running out of water.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Or.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
She had slash hidden in one of our Amazon return
packages without us knowing.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
No, she did not for seven days.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Cats can thear live up to two weeks without food.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
If they have access to water, but they can only survive.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Up to three days without water, as all living beasts are.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, Bill, they got a call seven days later from
a vet who probably went through the whole ship thing.
That's an attractive feline anyway. The box was large and
contained five pairs of work boots. According to Brandy, the
woman in question.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
The cat would get crushed or starbardive thirst, or not
have enough air. I'm not buying this story at all.
I'm angry about you. Are you questioning the USA today?
My questioning thing videos going viral? Boy, it's nothing sacred.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
The vet reported that asign from dehydration and weight loss,
the cat was in good shape. Said the cat, F you, No,
I'm not. I'm miserable. I was terrified. I'm starving. I
had no water. I was sure I was going to die.
My life flashed in front of me. This has been
a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Having worked at ups and moved to a gazillion boxes
in my life, I just can't imagine that. Not the
cat not meowing, or you notice it shifting around, you
lift the box or whatever. It just it just doesn't
make any sense to me.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Oh come on, I'm looking at the box. They're claiming
this thing was in no way, it had no room
it was I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I'm not believing that. Gonna it seems to work for
a lot of people. I gotta come up with a
dumb way to go viral today and then wear an
armstrong and yetty T shirt when I get on the
local news. Oh my kid felt down the well. He
was down there for three months. I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I'm wearing my Armstrong and Getty T shirt.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
How dare you turn my viral video world into a
dent offlies?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
How much time I got?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I go about forty seconds.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hmmm, I'll slip this in. I was meaning to get
to it earlier. This is from Axios. By the way,
this is not like some just right wing publication. The
Biden team has changed the way Joe Biden walks across
the lawn from the helicopter to the White House. They
now surround him with people, so it's not as noticeable
that he's shuffling along in his old mangates. According to Axios,
(33:10):
and so him walking alone through the grass and shuffling
and then trying to run for one step. They're surrounding
him with people now so that you don't get footage
of him doing that.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Still going to be six and a half months to
the election.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, good point. And they're already surrounding him with people
so he can't see him walk.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He's old as the hills, in senile and aging like
a president.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Still, Jack and Joe continue to peddle their lives about
the sanctity and integrity of the Daily News and their
final thoughts on Armstrong and Getty and they do this
as paid contributors to our sacred air waves.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That's pretty good. That's what's their name from MSNBC. You
made that hilarious comment about the sacred air waves in
the Colt Wall.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
It sounded exactly like Nicole Walls, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Ai, Betty, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
How about we'll lead off with Michael Angelo, our technical director, Michael.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
It was very flattered by the Ai song about Michaelangelo today,
although I did feel a little embarrassed. I felt like
when you're in a restaurant and suddenly the entire staff
comes and sings Happy Birthday to you.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I had that same feeling. Oh, Katie greeneres deemed Newswoman.
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's gotten to the point where when I see those
videos of Biden do that little shuffle jog thing, I
actually kind of get at this nervous like, Oh, he's
gonna fall, He's gonna eat it one day.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, he definitely is.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Oh boy Jack final thought.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh yeah, I accidentally mailed my infant to Paris, put
it in a FedEx box and set it to Paris,
and then here it is and look at that. I'll
be darned.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
What the nail hand of the thing. Learn to speak French?
We yeah, no kidding. My final thought is Jack, you've
been cancer free for ten years, So Michael, I think
it's time for When Jack says how much time do
I have? You go back to saying not long. I
don't like how you look. Okay, you don't believe to
add to me?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
How much time have I got left? About six months?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Humans joke about what we fear.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Oh, it was a funny joke. Armstrong and Getty wrapping
up another grueling four hour worthday.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I beg you, I beg you, We beg you, We
all beg you. Go to Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Listen to the select cut about intersectionality. It is. It
explains everything. Got some hot links there for you. You
can pick up some and g swagon got some great
T shirts. These sports broad endorsed by my beloved daughter.
And if you see something over the weekend we ought
to be talking about, send it along mail bag at
(35:44):
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Come Monday, when we do this again. Will the protests
college at the colleges be bigger or smaller than they are? Now?
What's your guests?
Speaker 11 (35:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Bigger, more widespread and lots of arrests.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Really okay, okay, I was hoping maybe they were going
to recede. Well you then, God bless America.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
So I haven't said a word, so stop yelling at me.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Okay, Sorry, this is a beautiful moment. This is the
sort of original sim and this is horrible. There is
no point say it's.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
The main goal.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
With tonight's struts, I think that you may be overagging
the pudding a bit more years. He said, Wow, have
a great Friday, mother, the Armstrong and Geddy
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington
Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty show, we.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Haven't mentioned that Secretary of State Blincoln met in person
with President Shiev China overnight. I am far enough into
the David Sanger book about our relationship with China to think,
why do we even try? I mean, unless you're going
to level some sort of concrete threat, any nudging or
(00:39):
any is useless. And anything he says to you is
a lie.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Right, unless it's a concrete you give us this and
we'll give you that. I mean, that sort of thing
is worthwhile. But I read a long account of the
various topics they went into and how Blincoln urged this right,
demanded that, and it's like, what, well, right.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And having, you know, reading that book now, after a
series of Secretaries of State and presidents have asked for
this or warned about that, they're going to do exactly
what they want and until there's you know, pushback, until
you you know, probe and reach bone or steel or
whatever that metaphor is, and so far China has not,
(01:20):
They get to do whatever they want. I don't know.
I don't know what the point of that is. We
still think people everybody in the world really cares what
we think.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I guess, yeah. I wonder if part of it is
just the way journalists describe this stuff and blink and
reads it and thinks, yes. I didn't urge them to
be better on human rights. I told them, if they
don't do this, we'll do that. It's just it's all transactional.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just went through that part of the book yesterday.
So that was back when China's really starting their One Belt,
One Road initiative of various places and these little African
countries and everything like that. We talked about this at
the time. But so we were in these countries funding
a variety of things, or offering to fund a variety
(02:06):
of things, and then China came in and they chose China.
Why did they choose China because we were putting all
these strings attached to the aid we were giving. You
have to do this in this on human rights. You
have to you know, you have to zero emissions. That
has to be your goal, and all these different things
and gay rights.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And democratic reforms.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Right, if you want our aid, we'll give you. You know. However,
many billion dollars here in some god forsaken African country.
But you need to human rights, climate change, China, come
and see do whatever the hell you want. We don't
care about climate change or human rights.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What do you want us to make out the check too?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We'll give you this money if you let us be
in control of your port and your cell phone towers
and a variety of other things. And of course we
lost forgot to mention it yesterday, our second African country
that we've pulled our troops out of in the last
couple of weeks. They now are going to rely on
China for their added security in those countries for probably
(03:04):
these same reasons I just mentioned. There are no strings attached. Well,
there are strings attached with China, but not the ridiculous
climate change human rights stuff that we push. And there's
no ridiculous still. We just don't have any leverage on
it right exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And since mostly most of these countries are run by
warlords anyway, I mean, they don't even make a gesture
toward real representative governance. We go in and we say
you've got to enact these reforms, all of which we can.
The warlords hold on power just because again they're nothing
like a representative democracy and don't even want to pretend.
(03:41):
And China comes in and says, not only do we
not give a damn that your warlord, Well, we'll make
sure you stay in power. We'll give you security guarantees.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
When we're the only game in town, we could go
around saying we'll give you aid if you act this way.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
But that's over with very very few exceptions of ideology
and history, like the USR relationship with the Britain. In
France and a couple other countries, there's only two ways
to have friends in international relations. Either bribe them or
threaten them. That's it. And a lot of people think
foreign aid is like generosity. It's not. It's bribery. It's
(04:18):
pure bribery, some of which accomplishes some really cool stuff,
saves babies, cures diseases, the rest of it. But I
think a lot of people's objection to a lot of
foreign aid is they don't recognize what it is and
why it happens. Some of it's humanitarian, I don't mean
one hundred percent of it, but it's mostly just bribery. Anyway,
(04:38):
We've got a lot to talk about this hour. One
more hour of the week. It's going to be frantic,
Oh my gosh, action packed and info taming. But first,
let's take a fond look back of the week that was.
It's cow clips of the week. This case is an
abomination that a buy like fifteen pounds of meth, which
some of the week.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
It is especially important we remember the power of young
people shaping this country.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Is there something that what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I'm pretty sure there. You know what in my straying out?
Yourself is more educated. We are a mass.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You're boss, Well, be glad, be grateful that I'm not
just going out and murdering Zis.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
They have screamed at those suits bear the star of David.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Enjoy your free speech.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
If you disagreed with Hamas, they take you to the
top of the building and push you off, or just
put a bullet in the back of your head.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Tie what we can do next four more years?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
What's your message to Joe?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The folks in Ukraine are breathing a huge sigh relief.
She's a story, MoMA.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I want to thank you for such significant support.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Couldn't triumph triumphs in Ukraine?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
The next move of Russian forces could very well be
a direct attack on a NATO ally.
Speaker 9 (06:13):
It's a huge day with high stakes, not just for
Donald Trump at any future president.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Non disclosure agreements are not illegal, and neither is trying
to influence an election.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Blanche called that quote democracy without.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, there can be no presidency
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but continuation of the
Biden administration as national suicide.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Get out, Oh you too, stumpo. I don't like this.
Out of that squish esus shine and shows John and Daddy,
they all do no mind. There's a lot to take
(07:05):
in there. That cow was thick, it was well marbled.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So you got these college protesters all across the country.
Hadn't occurred to me yesterday heard somebody point this out.
One of the things that changed protesting over the year
is tent technology. A couple generations ago, when I was
a kid, canvas tents with big steaks. She had to
drive into the ground. You can't set up a tent
in less than many, many hours, and you couldn't drive
(07:32):
it into the turf. Now, I don't know if you've
bought a tent recently, but this time of the tent
you basically take them out of the bag and they
spring to life. And now you got a tent and
you're safe from the rain and there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So great time to be alive, A great time to
protest in favor of terrorists.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Right, Oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I meant to plug this. If you did not listen
to our two of the show, go through Armstrong and
get One of the first things you'll see is an
Armstrong and Getty select cut in which we talk about
at length how and why these lunatics are like a
trans like it's cross dressing. What do they call it?
(08:15):
Drag Queen story hour had little kids chant free Palestine.
Wait a minute, drag quick pre Palestine? What and how?
Somebody says the climate change is not just about energy,
it's about colonialism and racism and structural patriarchy, and we
need to tear it all down. And the idea that
(08:38):
it's everything at wants ism, it's all one thing. Ism
is what this one writer called it. And they are
trying to tear down Western civilization. And there are a
lot of great quotes and they explain it. It is
rock solid reasoning and we beg of you grab it
at Armstrong and getty dot com because it's really important.
And the reason I brought this up and plugging it
(09:00):
so strenuously is what Bill Barr said. That's exactly what
he was talking about, how a continuation of the Biden
administration is national suicide because we will continue to indulge
the DEI structural racism, you know, critical race theory, whatever,
it's all tearing down Western civilization. Don't believe it. Listen
(09:23):
to the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So I'm eating at a restaurant the other day with Henry,
and I'm usually pretty good at not hearing other people's conversations.
They can go on around me and I just don't
even notice them. And I know some people are built
in such a way that if you can hear them,
you can't not listen. Correct, that's me, that's you, Yeah,
(09:47):
because I've known people like that, Like I can't have
a conversation with with who I'm with because they can't
stop listening to that booth over there. Highly annoying for
your dinner. I can't talk, You're stuck listening to them.
I usually don't. I'm usually not like that, But the
other day, this one. I think it's because I picked
(10:07):
up on the topic matter. They were describing their gross
dental work that they'd had in great detail, like five
feet away from me, really loud while I'm trying to eat.
It was so disgusting. Is that Is that a moment
where you what do you do? Is there anything to
do in that situation other than move? There wasn't really
(10:29):
anybody place to move too.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, I yeah, I don't know. I'm that sort of
situation makes me so uncomfortable. Like I was at a
concert the other night. It was a vocal group thing
like a choir, and there is a I'm just.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Mad about Sally and Sally's mad. Joe goes to a
lot of barbershop quartet stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I actually I kind of do, but anyway, but this
was a more classical thing. But this gal behind me
decides it's time for a snack, and she's doing what
you loathe the most, jack hard plastic wrapper every time
she goes in for more snacks, crinkly, crinkly. And it
went on for an absurd amount of time.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Right, I always want to reach over and I'm gonna
take the box out of the plastic. Now I'm gonna
hold onto the plastic. Now you enjoy your mic and
ikes or whatever the hell it is, but no more
plastic sound, jackass, I'm gonna murder someone.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So finally, after I'd put up with it, I mean
I was, I went beyond rage to a musisement, back
to rage again, and I finally did something I almost
never do, because I don't like hostility. Everybody's there to
enjoy a show. I don't want them behind me sitting
angry at me, because then I'll be conscious of that
and I'll But I finally turned around and gave her
the look of death and uh, and she wandered out.
(11:47):
And actually a little bit later on, she started coughing
uncontrollably and uh and wandered out.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Because you had your arm around her next so tight.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Probably but wrinkling plastic at a classical concert, thinking that
it's not that loud, and people like two rows in
front of me were turned around, like what the hell,
how are you that unsullf away?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I don't know, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I got to bring a squirt gun with me everywhere
I go and just scort people in the face because
I'm not a violent man. But they need to be
corrected like a cat on a countertop. There needs to
be a sanction.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That reminds me. Somebody at a local school, high school kid,
I had a squirt gun, opened the door to a classroom,
stuck the squirt gun in their scut scort scort score,
and then ran out. Well, it caused a locked down,
the school searched the lockers. Possible shooter on campus. Thing
need to happen. Oh no, and I got all completely
(12:45):
out of hand.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, wasn't the scuore gun made out of like bright
green plastics?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I have no idea. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's not a good idea.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So no, I was yeah, yeah, read the room, which
is the nation.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm all for a good prank, but m.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, bad choice. There's another thing we got to get
on before we get done today. I don't know. I've
lost my WTL your will to live, will will ebbing?
Maybe coffee? Yeah, why don't we take a break. I've
got something pretty interesting on China. I don't know if
(13:25):
people want that. I don't know if you've looked at
used cars lately. Where I was going to remember how
much used cars were worth during the pandemic and everything
like that. Where things Now, here's the latest kind of
interesting among other things on the way stay here?
Speaker 10 (13:35):
What is the joge ating on me?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
Old?
Speaker 10 (13:38):
A succulent chinage old, and I've been carrying this glove
with me for years.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Now's my time. I got one common poll in the glove. Man,
What can I say? Being off my dome and got
a nice little goose egg, It don't feel good.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
I felt like they have a bit of one hundred
and nine mile an hour home run ball.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Yes we get the ball after there no skipped over
the fence. But Josh Pearson, man, he's such a great guy.
He came to toss their toss ball that they do
in between innings. Probably Friday, I'll go get Tommy White
to sign it for me and maybe kiss my bobo.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Sounds like a nice guy. I would like to sit
in the outfield with and have a beer and watch
a baseball game. Big old boy brought his glove to
the to the game, so I mean he's a guy
expecting to hope to get the chance to catch a
home run. But straight off his nogging, as he said,
didn't feel good. I can tell you that the video
(14:40):
was pretty funny. He's sitting there and he's rubbing his head,
liking like it's a three Stooges film. And he's sitting
down there rubbing.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
His head, and you mocked him. Now you're admitting he
seems like a fine fellow. I'll tell you what the
but baseball players do. In Major League Baseball, people understand
that they could never play football. And I think if
you've ever sat like close to an NBA game, like
(15:09):
down on the floor, you understand the speed with which
it moves and you think, wow, I couldn't hang in there.
People don't understand how good baseball players are. As I've
heard read the average you know, not terribly old guy
playing for his softball team whatever, could not play catch
with a major league ball player. They throw it way
(15:30):
too hard, and you think you could catch a towering flyball.
I'll give you five chances.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
No, I don't think I could.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
This guy. So this guy went boy. I bet he
played some ball, you know, during his pre three hundred
pound days. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He definitely did like I would do. He just kind
of right off his head. Then he rubbed it. Oh wow,
didn't feel good. I'll tell you that I was reading
this stuff in the Wall Street Journal about people buying cars. Now,
one thing that stuck out to me I thought was
kind of interesting, is, up until fairly recently, it still
(16:08):
was the most common thing someone did if they're going
to buy a car was an in person visit at
the car lot. Now online has surpassed that. More people
pick out their cars online, and quite a few people
don't visit the lot until, like the very end to
(16:29):
pick up the car.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Interesting. I've bought and sold cars in that way. I
think a total of three transactions the online thing.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, especially for new vehicles. It's unless
you're wondering. If I don't know what you're wondering.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But yeah, we helped. It was kind of a complex deal,
but helped a couple of our kids buy vehicles and
we found them the right vehicle through one of those
services delivered to their doors. More or less.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, that is that is certainly the future, and looking
at the graph here, that is the direction it's going.
Phone call tends to be a fairly popular for your
first interaction. Man, I don't call anybody if I can
avoid it, and not because I'm scared to talking about it.
It's just because it's usually a waste of time.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I wouldn't even think of that. Excuse me, do you
have any pickup trucks there looking for a blue wood
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Overnight, Ohio State University joined the growing list of colleges
demonstrating against Israel's war in Gaza. Earlier Thursday, a similar
scene at Emery University. Social media video showed officers tearing
down tents and appearing to use a taser on someone
pinned to the ground. It came a day after more
(17:47):
than fifty people were arrested at the University of Texas at.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Austin portrayed it as a protest against Israel's war against Amas.
Is very check charitable view of it, as opposed to
they're protesting in support of Hamas and the terrorists. So
former Obama speech writer tweeted out, it's dangerous and unacceptable
(18:14):
to call American protesters in college students terrorists or military
proxies of Hesbolah. Yeah. Well, have you seen the picture
going around of a number of different campuses where they've
got the Hezbola flag, an organization that has been a
declared terrorist organization by the United States and the rest
of the world forever.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
They've got the he Bola flag.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Here's somebody sitting around with his acoustic guitar singing with
people with the his Bola flag between them, and it's
out of bounds to call them pro Hezbola.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, I know, Citi Onic. We actually a lot of
it is just particularly the people organizing. It is just
this overall, this is every issue at once. This is uh,
it's all one thing, which we were talking about before.
It's about overthrowing Western civilization, which is why you can
have such a bizarre and unthinkable notion as queers for Palestine.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And if you're a college kid who isn't pro homous
or pro Hizbollah, but the people with the flags are there,
you gotta either like band together and boot them out
or leave the protest.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I mean we went to a lot of tea party rallies,
and if there had been if the dominant theme had
actually been racism or.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Something like that, I would have left.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I wouldn't have just stayed there and continued to march
and say, yeah, I don't believe what they believe, but
I want to be part of the group or.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Something, right, Well, I don't want to weaken the cause
by leaving right, like I'm harshly anti DEI programs. But
if I find myself, you know, with like white supremacists
or neo Nazis or something like that, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I'm gone that minute, right, And then you got those
girls we played at umpteen times yesterday with the one
girls that why are we here? I don't know. We
should get more informed on that. I mean, that's why.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Sound more educated.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, here's going to protest.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
What end you was doing? What are they doing again
about lot? It was a comedy routine.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Here's a little more from the CBS report today.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Both police and protesters have at times crossed the line,
says Greg Lukianov, the president of the Foundation for Individual
Rights and Expression.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
You don't have a generalized First Amendment right to, you know,
turn the public area of a campus into a camping ground.
But definitely we've seen at places like Emery and places
like U T Austin police taking things much, much too far.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Most detained demonstrators have not been charged with violent offenses,
but there have been several instances of threatening and abusive behavior.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I love Greg Lukianov, He's one of my intellectual heroes.
I think he's wrong on that. I did not see
anything approaching brutality or above the necessary force to take
back order.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
USC has canceled their graduation ceremony. If you haven't heard,
I think it's going to be the first of many
colleges unless they all of a sudden get a backbone
and decide to clamp down on this sort of stuff
and say, hey, you disrupt the graduation, You're out of school.
We're kicking you out of school. Unless they do something
like that, they're gonna have to cancel the graduations because
(21:29):
it'll be a mess. It'll just be a mess.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah. And the little activists and their overlords, their string
pullers know that if USC or any other university does
what's necessary to take back control and restore order, that
they'll be sued. Every single one of those little wind
bags is gonna get lawyered up and soem and it'll
be enormously expensive. It's a multi front, fairly clever, and
(21:56):
completely insidious war against Western civilization.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
If you'd like to hear from one of the leaders
of the Columbia protests, this guy might be the leader,
according to some and some videos showing him at the
very beginning of this thing. But he's certainly one of
the leaders, and he put this out himself. This isn't like.
This isn't a hot mic caught behind scenes. You know,
someone close to the source leaked it. He posted this yesterday.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Listen to this, and so be glad, be grateful that
I'm not just going out and murdering Zionus. I've never
murdered anyone in my life, and I hope to keep
it that way. I genuinely hope to keep it that way.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I haven't murdered any Jews yet. I hope to keep
it that way. If that's not a threat, I don't
know what is.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Sounds like a bit of a theater major, doesn't he anyway?
Speaking of Columbia and what's being said there, Plas eighty one, Michael, so,
occupation is a crime. They don't want a two state solution,
(23:09):
We want all of it.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
The guy just said he's hasn't murdered any Jews yet,
and he hopes he doesn't have to as one of
the leaves that cover.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Term Zionists, So he doesn't mean Jews can bull crap.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I guess you're not supposed to do this I keep
hearing this from various quarters the whole turning it around
on the other side.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But going back to the tea party, going back to
the consistency is not a sin.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Imagine one of the leaders of the tea parties saying,
I haven't murdered anybody yet. I hope I don't have to,
and that would just get a pass. The President wouldn't
have an Oval Office address about that, right right? Some
weird times man, and again, I think, well, I've checked
(24:04):
in every day with you. Do you think this is growing,
staying the same, or receding at this point? Yeah, I
beg of you. Got Armstrong and getty dot Com. Listen
to the select cut about it's labeled something about intersectionality,
but you really need to understand it. It's growing a
number of campuses. They've clamped down on a few and
rested a bunch of people, like in Texas they did.
(24:26):
And oh did you see that thing? I tweeted out
the guy who said is it up there in front
of me? He said, I think I got it in
my head. I said, I'm working on my new country song.
Try your campus protests at a college in a red
state and in some of the Red States, they have
(24:49):
arrested people a lot faster. Yeah, yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, it's I'm I find this stuff so interesting,
even as it's so troubling being a student of radical
movements through history, to see it unfolding in real time.
The different layers of activists are that range from hardcore
(25:20):
idlogues who know precisely what they're doing, to the kids
who are in young adults, many many women for whatever reason,
who think they're trying to protect the Palestinian people and
they don't know what the ultimate aim is really of
what they're doing. And then the just complete go along
(25:42):
because it's fashionable idiots like those two young girls in
our favorite clip. It's it's wild to see in real time.
But that anger and potential for violence and energy human
energy that can do real damage. And if somebody caves
in your head who has just a tenth of an
idea why they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Your head remains caved in absolutely. And the book I
read or your Government Overthrown, the book I read about
the French Revolution where the author made the point that
and you only really need like fifteen percent of people
to be interested in the revolution, because you get enough
other tagalogs that you can win the day, and we're
(26:23):
seeing it now. I don't know what percentage of people
are on board with this stuff, but there are a
lot of tagalogs for a variety of reasons, whether you're
into trans writes or climate change, or you don't even
know why you're there, but the cool people are doing it,
so I'll show up and yeah, it's quite amazing. And again,
(26:43):
the women I did it didn't make an impression on
many of time. But in the book of Taylor Two
Cities by Dickens about the French Revolution, the main revolutionary
character in that, Madame Lafarge is her name, was a woman.
Her and her friends. They're willing to spill blood, or
have the men spill blood, you know, for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
And maybe this will be a good note to end
the segment on. I remember so distinctly, Gladys. My two
big kids were probably thirteen and fourteen or something like that,
and they adored their little sister. They had a nice
relationship with her, but Delaney, as the youngest, was being
a bit dictatorial in her demands, and my two big kids,
(27:26):
having studied the French rectal evolution, started calling her robespearre wow.
And it was funny for a couple of minutes. But
they did it repeatedly till it made Delaney cry.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
And I said, all right, stop calling your sister one
of the lead radicals of the French Revolution. All right,
you've hurt her feelings now. And I was simultaneously very
proud of my children and ashamed.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Of what a highly intellectual way to make your sister cry.
We will finish strong next. I have only heard a
description the oh sorry, stop it phone. I've only heard
(28:18):
a description of this clip from Michaelangelow, and I'm reading
the very brief written description here on our audio sheet.
Utah couple accidentally sent their cat to California in an
Amazon package, I say, having not heard it, effort to
go viral.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Phony, Well is the cat alive?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yes, that's great.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, then it almost has to be shipped the cats.
It almost has to be on purpose. There's no way
you would accidentally have your cat in a box, even
if it was like, even if it was overnight, I
don't think it would live, would it?
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Some of you would hear it owing, Well, let's find
out together.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Play it, Michael, we got the most amazing, insane news
in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I just couldn't even believe that she was in California.
I thought it was a prank. Like I still still
hard to wrap my brain around. She was trapped in
an Amazon package, and it was in this really big
sized Amazon package.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
We had no idea, so Matt took the package to
the drop off without knowing that our dear cat was inside.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I don't know. They seemed so innocent and goofy.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
No, no, you didn't notice your cat was missing?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Or do?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They don't say they were looking for their cat? Or
how did the cat live? I don't understand that. How
would it have enough air to not die?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
This guy hated the cat and stuck it in the
box and shipped off on purpose. And it's like, hey,
I am mad.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And it was.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's weird, honey. Yeah, I have no idea how that
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I almost got away with it. Weren't for you muddling kids,
we wouldn't have a cat now.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, all right, No, I don't want to answer that
opid phone. Well, here's spam. I need to check something.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Joe's always suspicious of this, and I think for a
good reason that because a lot of the things that
go viral were on purpose. If it's a hot chick,
it was on purpose. It's a hot chick dressed hot.
And this just happened to me. No, okay, whatever, I
know what you're up to.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
All right, all right, I've done the journalism that needed
to be done. Let's see cats love boxes. It appears
this cat also fancies shoes.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I don't see how the cat live days later. No, No,
a cat was not in a box for seven days,
and either one nobody noticed it wasn't meowing or something
when it was running out of water.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Or.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
She had slash hidden in one of our Amazon return
packages without us knowing.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
No, she did not for seven days.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Cats can thear live up to two weeks without food.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
If they have access to water, but they can only survive.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Up to three days without water, as all living beasts are.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Yeah, Bill, they got a call seven days later from
a vet who probably went through the whole ship thing.
That's an attractive feline anyway. The box was large and
contained five pairs of work boots. According to Brandy, the
woman in question.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
The cat would get crushed or starbardive thirst, or not
have enough air. I'm not buying this story at all.
I'm angry about you. Are you questioning the USA today?
My questioning thing videos going viral? Boy, it's nothing sacred.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
The vet reported that asign from dehydration and weight loss,
the cat was in good shape. Said the cat, F you, No,
I'm not. I'm miserable. I was terrified. I'm starving. I
had no water. I was sure I was going to die.
My life flashed in front of me. This has been
a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Having worked at ups and moved to a gazillion boxes
in my life, I just can't imagine that. Not the
cat not meowing, or you notice it shifting around, you
lift the box or whatever. It just it just doesn't
make any sense to me.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Oh come on, I'm looking at the box. They're claiming
this thing was in no way, it had no room
it was I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I'm not believing that. Gonna it seems to work for
a lot of people. I gotta come up with a
dumb way to go viral today and then wear an
armstrong and yetty T shirt when I get on the
local news. Oh my kid felt down the well. He
was down there for three months. I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I'm wearing my Armstrong and Getty T shirt.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
How dare you turn my viral video world into a
dent offlies?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
How much time I got?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I go about forty seconds.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hmmm, I'll slip this in. I was meaning to get
to it earlier. This is from Axios. By the way,
this is not like some just right wing publication. The
Biden team has changed the way Joe Biden walks across
the lawn from the helicopter to the White House. They
now surround him with people, so it's not as noticeable
that he's shuffling along in his old mangates. According to Axios,
(33:10):
and so him walking alone through the grass and shuffling
and then trying to run for one step. They're surrounding
him with people now so that you don't get footage
of him doing that.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Still going to be six and a half months to
the election.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, good point. And they're already surrounding him with people
so he can't see him walk.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
He's old as the hills, in senile and aging like
a president.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Still, Jack and Joe continue to peddle their lives about
the sanctity and integrity of the Daily News and their
final thoughts on Armstrong and Getty and they do this
as paid contributors to our sacred air waves.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
That's pretty good. That's what's their name from MSNBC. You
made that hilarious comment about the sacred air waves in
the Colt Wall.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
It sounded exactly like Nicole Walls, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Ai, Betty, here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
How about we'll lead off with Michael Angelo, our technical director, Michael.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
It was very flattered by the Ai song about Michaelangelo today,
although I did feel a little embarrassed. I felt like
when you're in a restaurant and suddenly the entire staff
comes and sings Happy Birthday to you.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I had that same feeling. Oh, Katie greeneres deemed Newswoman.
As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's gotten to the point where when I see those
videos of Biden do that little shuffle jog thing, I
actually kind of get at this nervous like, Oh, he's
gonna fall, He's gonna eat it one day.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, he definitely is.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Oh boy Jack final thought.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Oh yeah, I accidentally mailed my infant to Paris, put
it in a FedEx box and set it to Paris,
and then here it is and look at that. I'll
be darned.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
What the nail hand of the thing. Learn to speak French?
We yeah, no kidding. My final thought is Jack, you've
been cancer free for ten years, So Michael, I think
it's time for When Jack says how much time do
I have? You go back to saying not long. I
don't like how you look. Okay, you don't believe to
add to me?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
How much time have I got left? About six months?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Humans joke about what we fear.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Oh, it was a funny joke. Armstrong and Getty wrapping
up another grueling four hour worthday.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I beg you, I beg you, We beg you, We
all beg you. Go to Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Listen to the select cut about intersectionality. It is. It
explains everything. Got some hot links there for you. You
can pick up some and g swagon got some great
T shirts. These sports broad endorsed by my beloved daughter.
And if you see something over the weekend we ought
to be talking about, send it along mail bag at
(35:44):
Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Come Monday, when we do this again. Will the protests
college at the colleges be bigger or smaller than they are? Now?
What's your guests?
Speaker 11 (35:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Bigger, more widespread and lots of arrests.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Really okay, okay, I was hoping maybe they were going
to recede. Well you then, God bless America.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
So I haven't said a word, so stop yelling at me.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Okay, Sorry, this is a beautiful moment. This is the
sort of original sim and this is horrible. There is
no point say it's.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
The main goal.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
With tonight's struts, I think that you may be overagging
the pudding a bit more years. He said, Wow, have
a great Friday, mother, the Armstrong and Geddy
