Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Getty enough he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Shoot at ICE agents on site. That's right. If ICE
agents are trying to take you or a loved one,
shoot them on site. You have every right to shoot
at them. This would be the best self defense case.
You're just in fear for your life. The way these
ICE agents are pulling up with masks on unmarked vehicles,
(00:44):
they are pulling up like GAG members. They are pulling
up like the mafia. You might as well shoot them
on site and have your day in court.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, that is a TikToker. Do you get a visit
from the FEDS? Surely? I yeah, that'd be an interesting case.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
He's specifically inciting violence against law enforcement officers.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, domestic terrorism of some sort. Yeah, I think you
could absolutely classic as that.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I certainly hope something's done about the lunatic because there
are soft.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Heads who will believe him.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But speaking of immigration, I'm trying to remember the situation
before Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Got in office. How is the border doing? The border
is secure?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh, that's right, that's right. March numbers are in. This year,
border patrol encountered two hundred and thirty people per day,
two hundred and thirty. Last year it was seventy two hundred.
Biden's miserable betrayal of the country on the border.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I think most Americans know it.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I hope there are some history who are honest enough
to make it clear how unconscionable it was. Well, Bob Woodward, no,
you know right where in his book called it the
biggest migration in world history. Yeah, peacetime migration in world history.
(02:18):
And all it took was a couple of executive orders
and empowering the border patrol, and it ended.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It ended in the blink of an eye. It also
ended as presidency. So I don't understand. Getting back to
the I don't understand the politics and some of these issues.
It's not like it's popular. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
So we've been talking about, you know, tribalism and politics
and the way progressive minds think and how it's different
from conservatives on and off.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think you'll find this as interesting and amusing as
I did. Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
We're going to start with clip number eighty one, we
will discuss briefly, and then there's a bit of a reveal.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Donald Trump announced this past week that he would be
urging Ice and other stration authorities to seek out people
living here illegally they'd have broken law to deport them.
So have a quote for you here that's been making
the rounds social media about the deportation of criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We are a nation of laws.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Undocumented workers broke our laws, and I believe they must
be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
That's why over the past six years.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Deportations of criminals are up eighty percent, and we're going
to keep focusing on threats to our security. What's your
thought on that quote in that policy in general, I
think that policy comes from a place of like white
American nationalism.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Donald Trump has kind of like embraced this rhetoric of
like racism and xenophobia that is not beneficial to our
country at all.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I don't think that that quote really stands true. This
administration has totally not done anything moral.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
This is really awful.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Amnesty does not necessarily mean that we're losing border security.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I think that Trump feels that way.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think that's a bad decision because like the United
States should be open to like immigrants, Like it's like
they called it a lands with the free for a reason.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We just have to advocate for.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Those kind of people when people like in Congress, like
oas Cortez, who is helping people overcome these kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Crimes do not nullify your humanity, and people are coming
here in search of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh my god, several of those were hard to take.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, trying to reason what those people in the short
term would be a fool.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You'd have to have a class because they're they're greeting
card rhetoric level knowledgeable or have thought about this not
at all. They call for a reason, I mean, what
kind of argument is just so transparently stupid. But wait,
there's a twist.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm gonna show you the person who said that quote
undocumented workers.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Is that surprising, Yeah, a little bit, because I thought
it was the Trump administration that said something like that.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, it's quite surprising.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I thought from Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I didn't expect it to be Obama either.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Why did you not expect it to be Obama?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Because I'm stupid?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I just I guess I don' no like it just never.
It never occurred to me that it could be Abouma.
Is that surprising that it's a quote from President Obama?
That was surprising for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Do you think it's still a practice of white nationalism though,
to deport criminal league aliens? I think the way Trum's
doing it, it is, but President Obama to this to this
point in Trump's presidency, Obama actually deported more people though,
so it's in practice it was more from Obama?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Though, what's your question? Can I boil this down?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Your question?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think I can boil this down very simply. Self
governance doesn't work, and children should be seen and not heard.
And we most institute a nationwide compulsory child test. Are
you still a child? And only when you receive the
a of adulthood tattooed upon your body will you be
(05:49):
able to speak your damn stupid mind. And there will
be a variety of standards shack. If you enlist in
and serve in the military honorably for at least a year,
if you are married, if you have a child, if
you have paid income taxes for five years, there will
be a number of standards. I have an open mind
(06:10):
about this, but unless you are those things. For instance,
if you are a college gender studies major never had
a job, I don't want to hear an effing word
out of you. You don't know enough to advise an
eight year old on the world. Okay, just keep learning,
that's fine. That doesn't mean you're a bad person. It
(06:31):
doesn't mean I hate you. I don't want the new
person in the office to explain to me how things
really work around here. Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Unfair.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was going to go with a blanket rule if
you can't vote till you're thirty, but yours probably more
fair for people who get up to speed on reality
a little earlier, right right, Oh god, that hurts my heart.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I've said this before, and I wish, you know, we
had the power and influence to spread it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's my only lust for like more reach of the show,
which is great now, it's going really really well, and
thanks so much for the support and for listening. But
don't I don't want to make any more money. I'll
take it if it comes, but I just want sanity
to prevail. And I wish more people knew this. Adulthood
life is a big, complicated complex. It's like the Ford
(07:30):
Motor Company Okay, it's really complicated and huge and sprawling,
and if you die at the age of eighty eight,
your last week on earth, you will learn something you
didn't know. You young folks, you college kids especially, you've
been convinced by your professors that you can walk into
(07:52):
the reception area of Ford Motor Company and tell everyone
exactly how how it works and how it should be run.
As you stand there in the reception area having not
explored any of that giant, sprawling corporation. That's what you
are doing. That's why you're so blanking annoying. Which I
(08:13):
was at your age, but nobody paid a damn bit
of attention to what I said at your age, and
they were better for it, and I thought it was
better for it. Okay, boomer um, they call it the
land of the Free for a reason. Oh my god,
we're a nation of immigrants. Boom headshot got me. The
(08:35):
statue of liberty, says, Oh, I can't argue against that.
You can't argue with a statue. A pullem on a statue.
Everybody knows that. Okay, before we take a break, I
got some breaking news for you. Uh oh. Next segment,
a health lesson maybe we all should pay attention to
from the late Val Kilmer, Oh boy, who passed away yesterday.
(08:56):
It's age sixty five. But first, this breaking news is
according to ABC, Trump has indicated to top advisors that
Elon Musk will be taking a step back from his
current role in the administration. Sources familiar with the matter
told ABC News, Okay, I think that's good. Oh, I
(09:16):
think it's good too. I wonder if Elon on his
own just from a I run like six of the
biggest companies in the world that are very complicated. I
can't do this all day every day. If just from
that standpoint, or if he's disgusted with it, or Trump
told him, look, you're doing more than good at this point,
(09:37):
or whatever, I don't know. I'd like to know the why. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Trump is famously a Fox News viewer, and I I'm certain,
as close as certain as I can be, that Trump
saw that fabulous show Brett Baar did where he interviewed
Elon and the half a dozen other like head guys
of DOGE, and Trump, who is a genius at this
(10:00):
sort of thing, said those guys are much better more
effective spokespeople for dogs than Elon Musk is himself and
he's too much of a lightning rod effectiveness, says we
move him a little bit to the background. I'll bet
that's Trump's thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Hmm, you didn't get had anything to do with the
Wisconsin result. Elon jumping around in the cheesehead and I
don't know, but it could have. Tesla stock down thirteen percent.
First quarter numbers just came out today. Here here's a request,
Michael or not stock sales sorry, sales down thirteen oof. Oof.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Every time we mentioned Elon Musk, you gotta play him,
saying chainsawl.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Come on, uh, what can we learn from Doc Holiday
about our own health? Among other things?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
On the way, stay here, Doc, sorry of being dead?
What the hell are you doing this for? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
What is my friend?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Cal? I got lots of friends.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't what was the accent of Doc Holiday in
the movie Tombstone, as played by Val Kilmer famously I'll
be your friend? Why? I mean, what was that I'm
wild West or eighteen hundreds accent? I don't know. I
don't know what that was. I'm you all huckleber. I
never understood that, but it seemed to work for.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
One of the most interesting things I've ever read about
accents is how how they change, and that all you
can rely on is written descriptions of them prior to.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Nineteen hundred. Anyway, Valkimer, the actor who was from that
movie Clip, died yesterday sixty five, and he had cancer.
Cancer he got when he was fifty four and had
a bunch of operations in chemotherapy and radiation, all that
sort of stuff, and then the cancer eventually came back
and killed him. And they got this thing in the
(12:11):
New York Post about signs to look out for. I
don't know if this is boy. I don't know if
this is helpful to anybody it or not, or freak
me out. Persistent sore throat. These are things that they
say he ignored and caused it to go too far.
Difficulty swallowing your pain when you swallow, red or white
(12:31):
patches in your mouth or throat which I wouldn't notice.
Frequent and severe headaches, we all get those all the time.
Nick or ear pain, ongoing cough and coughing up blood.
If you don't go to the doctor when you're coughing
up blood, I don't know what to do for you. Wow,
you're just bent on denial, Yeah, or a lump in
(12:54):
your neck. If I gotta pick lump in my neck
and I'm coughing up blood, even I am going to
the doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, yeah, I get the tendency to not want to
get the terrifying diagnosis, but.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't get that. I've never understood that. I want
to know immediately. Yeah, I mean, I understand that a
lot of people are that way. I am not the
I don't want to find out at all. I don't
have that at all. But he struggled to swallow woke
up in a pool of his own blood on several occasions. Hmmm,
(13:28):
really only the once for I'm gonna, you know, go
to the urgent care. I admire actors skill acting. That's
all I want from them. I don't need them as
an example or to think for me. Thank you very little.
One other cancer note that is somewhat serious because it
came up in a real conversation the other day. So
(13:50):
David Dave Coolier? Is that how you say his name?
The star of full House.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
In the subject of Atlantis Morrisset's Jagged Little Pill album, Right.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
All those songs she wrote about like me, sex and
anger and everything, like that about this dude. Anyway, he's
got cancer. He actually has the same cancer I had,
same stage, same cancer, And he the other day said
he was prepared to die after his fifth round of chemo.
I don't know if I could do this again, he
told Bread magazine. And this just came up in a
(14:21):
conversation with some of the other day whose relatives going
through cancer. Here's my only advice on like cancer should
be in the same category as advice on child rearing
in my mind, partially because and this is the only
advice I ever give anybody. Don't listen to anybody's story
because it's got nothing to do with you. Everybody's situation
(14:42):
could be so radically different. I was so misled by
I did this and it wasn't bad, or this part
was horrible, and I had the reverse experience in both
of them. Something that wasn't bad for them was horrible
for me. Something that was horrible for me then was
a walk in the park for me. You have no
idea your situation is different. And also, if they had
cancer eight years ago, the technology has changed so much
(15:05):
in the last eight years, you don't have any So anyway,
my only advice would be and I said this to someone.
Don't don't let them listen to anybody's My uncle had
the same thing and this is what happened to him.
It's worthless information. Yeah, wow, that's good to know. That
is worthy information. I wish I had no going in.
(15:25):
There were a couple of things people told you, oh,
it's a walk in the park that were just brutal
any other way around it. So I was terrified. I
was like, that was what. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I had a friend who was going through a similar
thing to you at this that time you were going
through it, and it was it was black and white,
the difference.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So here's the val Kilmer advice. Then, if you wake
up in a pool of your own blood again, go
ahead and go to urgent care. And when you write
and then they gave me a clipboard and you write
down symptoms walk up and pool of blood again.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, go ahead and include that. Gee maney Yeah, Okay.
Transition music, Michael, We barely got a minute left in
the segment. The major universities of the United States are.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
On the run.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
They have been brought to heal. They are sitting, fetching
and lying down as commanded. And I love this headline,
Rich Lowry the National Review, somewhat sarcastically, this is the headline.
Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to support a larger,
more extensive federal government for one hundred years, because now
it's been used against y'all, thank goodness. So is there
(16:40):
hope in reforming the universities?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Maybe yet another book is out about the end of
the Biden administration. There are some nuggets that are coming
out before the book's actual release. Apparently Obama is working
furiously behind the scenes to make sure Kamala was not
the candidate because she's a moron?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Is that on?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
A talentless moron? Probably because she's a black woman was
the reason. Okay, more on the way, stay here, Armstrong
and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
There's this scorched earth campaign going on. I just have
a column out today on this where Democrats are shredding
many of the things they believe most fervently about. They're
adopting anti environmental positions, anti labor positions just to get
musk and it's really untoured. But also with the rise
of political violence on the left, it's very concerning. It's
(17:38):
very dangerous, and we're not seeing what we were hoping
to see from Democratic leadership denouncing this campaign.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah. Interesting, And then the breaking news from ABC that
Trump is telling aids that Elon is going to be
backing away from his role or stepping down or something,
I don't know, taking less of an out front right roll. Maybe, Yeah,
be interesting to see that. Joe brought up earlier the
fact that a certain kind of plane has been deployed
(18:09):
to the Middle East. Is that what your story was? Yeah,
be two Spirit stealth bombers. And we were looking for
the actual quote from Trump from two days ago. If
Iran doesn't make a deal, there will be bombing. It
will be bombing the likes of which they have never
seen before. It's got to be that thirty thousand pound
bunker buster which nobody in the world has. But US
(18:31):
Israel can't do that because they don't have them. Right,
So that could be happening any moment, any day, And
that'll be a fun little add in to tariffs and
everything else that's going on. Chimney. Oh, so, there's yet
another book out about the final years months weeks of
the Biden administration. This current one, which I would like
(18:53):
to read, also has Barack Obama working furiously behind the
scenes to keep Kamala Harris from being the nominee. It
says they said that Biden didn't want her to be
the nominee and Obama didn't want her to be the nominee. Man,
you'd think the sitting president and then the most popular
(19:13):
Democrat they've had in forty years would be able to
control that outcome better than they did, right.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I think it fits into what we were talking about earlier,
which was and was that our three grab the podcast
Armstrong and getting on demand. We were talking about, you know,
the different ways progressives see the world than conservatives on
a very very fundamental level, the different way they see life.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
The ezra klient stuff. Is that our two or our three,
I can't remember somebody looking up anyway. There's been so
much wisdom, it's tough to keep track of all of them.
But how people on the left actually believe themselves to
be Katie Recline was the beginning of our three. Thank
you our three, I have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like I said, progressors actually believe themselves to be morally superior,
further down the road of perfection, morally end intellectually superior,
and therefore they should run things, and they don't trust
processes like the free market. For instance, the non having
(20:29):
of a primary when it became clear that Joe Biden
was every bit as senile as everybody was saying, he
was the decision not to have a primary great example
of that. We can't trust a quickly assembled primary where
people you know, audition for the job and the strongest
survive and the most articulate spokesperson for our policies emerges. No, no, no,
(20:52):
we will decide. We've got to go with the vice president.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yes. Sweet. So Obama apparently went to Biden in there
toward the end and told him I don't see a
path for you, and then was against the idea of
Kamala ending up the nomin knee. So I think that's
the first time we've heard that. You know, we know
Schumer went. New York Times had that story that Schumer
went there to his beach house and told him, if
(21:18):
you don't announce, you're stepping out. I got a whole
bunch of senators that they are going to break tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So, yeah, Obama's obnoxious, but he's got great political instincts.
Mostly I agree with you, but I mostly I don't
think you have to have great political instincts to realize
Joe Biden shouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Run well and that Kamala Harris is a no talent moron. Anyway,
what was I going to say? You know, Obama's lecturing
black males. The only reason you're not supporting her is
because she here against black That was one of the
stupidest maneuvers I've ever seen, the lecturing black dudes that
(21:56):
you you need to get over this whole sexism thing.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Even if that would be idiotic, I don't think it's true. Yes, incredibly,
it's sulting.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Anyway, what's that?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I had a point, but yeah, he in game, respects game.
I mean, he could tell Kamalo was just nothing, but
they went ahead did it.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
My last political note, Bill Maher and Donald Trump had
dinner last night at the White House, So I imagine
we'll be hearing more about that. Yeah, Friday night on
the Bill Maher's show, probably Yeah, crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I want to get to a little update on colleges
and how they've been brought to heal at least temporarily
by the Trump had been I wanted to drink Have
you heard that part Bill Mar's at the White House
with Trump and Kid Rock.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yes, Bill mar says, I'd really like a drink, and uh,
Trump got him a margarita. Wow, I'm telling you. Having
that chef around who's also a bartender, apparently, I'd be
so fat and so drunk.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Oh, they'd have to have, you know, the cabinet to
have to have an intervention. I'd want to in the
Oval office they're all there. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That was a good margarita? Is that like real line?
Oh yeah, fresh fresh lines flown in from Maine. Okay? Cool?
So you got any more of the biscuits and gravy?
So I need a margarita and more biscuits and gravy.
The cabinet meetings about to start, they get wait, I'm
eating this wallets? How dinner table events? That's right, man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Just to flesh out what Jack said about the bombers,
the US has moved nearly half of its entire B
two Spirit stealth bomber flyable fleet to Diego, Garcia and
the Indian Ocean. In addition, close to twenty tanker aircraft
were moved to the base. Effectively, given the B two
is the range to attack Iran pretty quickly, and not
(23:46):
to go in the full detail, but this plane specifically
can deliver the GBU fifty seven. That's that thirty thousand
pound bunker buster that only we have, and they're among
the few bombs blease capable of destroying buried, hardened complexes
like Iron's nuclear sites. And this plane is spectacular in
(24:09):
its stealth abilities. It relies on this coating skin technology
that's high maintenance, and they keep these things hangared in
air conditioning mostly to preserve the skin. Well, Diego Garcia
doesn't have much of that, so you would not capriciously
(24:29):
move these spectacularly high maintenance and expensive planes just to
sit there for six months in the sun just in case,
Oh no, we're.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gonna bomb ir In. I mean I would bet money
on it, uh to try to take out their nuclear facility.
What do you think the world reaction is gonna be
to that? Assuming it's successful.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Thoroughly predictable and the usual actors are gonna say the
usual things.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, I don't care what Russia and China says, but
will lass of a holes right? Well, our Germany, France,
English ends that we've you know, been sort of bad
mouth and lately, well they say, uh, that's a great question.
Of course, what you say out loud is not always
the same as what you actually believe. Oh yeah, exactly.
I was going to say that for domestic consumption, they
will have to condemn violence in all its forms and
(25:17):
or not. Democracy diplomacy is the way to achieve solutions.
Blah blah blah. Behind the scenes, they'll probably call up
Trump and say, way to go, dude, way to go.
We needed that. But yeah, they'll maake motly mouse to
euros style statements. I think most of the world, even China,
will probably think cool, there's one less unpredictable thing we
got to worry about as we try to take over
(25:37):
the world.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, I would love to talk to Shijin Pang
about you know, Iran's on your side these days?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What do you really think of them? How about domestically
we bomb Ran? It's successful? Is what are college students
and Democrats.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Are going to say, uh, just righteous condemnation, starting a
war for the more manger blah blah blah. And folks,
some folks on the right are gonna say Trump's gone
Neo Khon definitely what happened to JD vance JD talk
to him.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, well, I mentioned this when I read the autobiography
of Mohamed Begen, who was the Prime Minister of Israel
when they bombed a Raq's nuclear reactor, and we condemned
that out loud, we condemned it. Yeah, but behind the
scenes told him all right, nice job. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:37):
the usual people say the usual things. In short, I
feel like in the modern world, it'll be a one
day story from the biggest military attack since Iraq, and
it'll be a one day story. Maybe. Of course, that's
if it goes well, and it might not go well.
These things don't always work out the way they're supposed to. Yeah, yeah,
a lot, I was gonna say. And then you know,
(26:59):
AOC cry or something.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And there's somebody Elon Musk will do something. Everybody will
go crazy and forget about it, which reminds me. I
was reading various theories about the Trump third term thing.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Honey booboo will get married and have a kid something
like that. Wow, Wow, the wedding all of America has
waited for. Honey boo boo. It's all grown up, aren't
we at war with the Ran honey, Bob was grown up,
didn't you hear me? But anyway, somebody was positing that
Trump's one of Trump's greatest talents is distraction, and that
(27:38):
the Mike Waltz signal string war plans thing. He thought,
all right, we'll distract everybody third term, third terms.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Good.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I can lean on that one man.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I can play that card about as often as I
feel like. And so they trotted it out again.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Jeez. And if if the tariffs go badly, he will
announce that the Constitution doesn't apply to him or something
like that. He'll say something completely cuckoo nuts. Right, I'm
going to expand the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Sure, or I will declare myself the Chancellor of America,
which is above the presidency, and people will go crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We are used to successful military operations, these one off
sorts of things, not like Afghanistan was not a successful
military or operation over twenty years, but like this attacking around.
We're used to these things going well. But you could
have a plane load of guys go down captured. You know,
they're prisoners of war. I mean just you know, all
(28:44):
kinds of ugly things could happen. Yeah, true, but it
is this is going to happen. I would be shocked
if we don't bomb the hell out of Iran. So
the left hoisted on by around their own petard, whatever
a petard is. The college they're sitting, they're staying, they're
begging for treats from the Trump administration. It's delightful. What
(29:05):
does it mean? Coming up?
Speaker 10 (29:10):
Starbucks new free refill perk has tripled customer traffic in stores,
which is perfect for everyone thinking this Starbucks is okay.
I just wish there were three times more people using
that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I didn't know they had a free refill thing now,
but you'd have to stick around long enough to finish
your coffee and one another one, which I never do. Right. Yeah? Interesting?
So ah. I love this headline from Rich Lowry National Review.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to support a larger,
more extensive federal government for one hundred years. He's talking
about how Trump is using every tool he has to
challenge woke practices in America and all the many tentacles
of the federal government and funding, specifically that the Left
is built up through the years. He is aimlessly and
(30:01):
good using them, and Lowry, I wish we had more
time for this, but a recent Slate headline and slates
left colleges are getting in line. An expert in higher
ed finance explains why every school in the US is
vulnerable to Trump. It's the power of the purse, all
(30:22):
the research, all the grants, all the subsidies, all the everything,
and Trump is using it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I would like to see it all go away.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Right, But you know what, what better use of those
things when you have power than to use them to
reign in the insanity. So a couple of headlines, real quick,
Trump pauses one hundred and seventy five million dollars in
funding to pen over the trans Swimmer deal.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's a lot of money on dred and seventy five
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I think that may be the smallest amount of money
we're about to talk about as we scroll through these
headlines too. Yeah, it's breath taking amounts of money.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Why are they getting so much money from me? Why
is Penn, which probably has an endowment of billions of dollars,
getting so much money from US taxpayers?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Now I could give you the policy, the stated policy reason,
or I could just say why does the government hand
out money to anybody. Yeah, to ensure they're never ending support.
So Trump is going after him for the whole. Leah
Thomas six foot four inch mail with a penis taking
victories away from women. Oh that kind of male, the
(31:28):
kind with penises. Yeah, male, And I don't use the
term biological male. It's the only kind of male there is,
So it's redundant. And as Riley Gains has described, she
when she tied with the dude, at one point the
NCAA was so terrified of the progressives.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
They said, look, we only got one medal and we're
giving it to Leah. I forgot that. Yeah, and she
cried backstage at how she's being victimized. Oh that was
so horrible. I know, so horrible.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Here's another headline from the journal, Harvard's nine billion dollars
scramble to avoid becoming the next Columbia. The president Alan Garber,
what a man is? A university president? Can't believe it
made a flurry of moves before Trump, before Trump opened
a federal funding review.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
This Garber bloke is dancing as fast as he can.
Why has this been going on so long? Why did
Trump just figure out that, hey, we can really get
these universities to do what we want by Yank and
their funding. Headline Princeton says Trump administration is halting research
grant funding. Nobody wanted to blow back on that. That
(32:41):
that's why nobody's done it before.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well, right, because it's so easy to demogog it and say,
you know what, we are two days from spit from
care and cancer, right, and now all of our research
all the rats died, so now enjoy your cancer, folks.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
All great things are simple and many. Can it be
expressed in a single word? Freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Final thoughts is two words.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Okay, here's your host for final thoughts. Let's get a
final thought from everybody on the crew. There he is
pressing the buttons. Our technical director, Michael Aangelo Michael final thought.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
Okay, I'm getting this ready.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's for when clinics with passes. Jack, do you want
a clip from Unforgiven or Bronco Billy, Dirty Harry or
the Ape Fight movies? Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman as
a final thought, Katie mine is right along that vein
as well.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
If you want to hear Jack absolutely blow a gasket,
go listen to hour one of today's podcast Armstrong Getty
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
We're about thirty percent of shows anytime in the last
twenty eight years. To Shay, that's a good point. Jack.
A final thought for us. Yes, my son and I
are on board. After our food orgy at the baseball
game the other night, hot dogs, milkshakes, we both lost control,
were committed. We're on. We're no more of that. We're
gonna the diet starts today. We're both an agreement. Wow,
(33:58):
new way of looking at life. You gottaci plan. Just
don't eat crap.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
You know, it's funny. That distracted me from my final thought.
Reminded me of a Twitter threat I saw on which
somebody was arguing that corn dogs were stupid and perverse
and how could you eat them? Just eat a regular
hot dog if you have passed on the.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Blessing from the Lord God, that is the corn dog
with a little mustard one. Why are you alive? Wow?
That is good. Yes, you surrender your years to me
so I can enjoy them. Corn dog in hand. Armstrong
and Getty we're having another grueling four hour work there.
So good. So many people think go to Armstrong and
(34:38):
get Eat dot com for the hot links for the
swag drop us a notep mail bag at Armstrong and
geedtdy dot com. Dogs were put on earth to be corned.
That's how I'm corn Dogs are dogs, Marvel, God bless America,
I'm Strong and Getty was he's crazy thinking just as
a national emergency.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yep, absolutely, so let's go with it. Do you tune
into that radio show where they talk about we're all doomed? Yeah,
life is going to hell and our best days are
behind us. That's a good radio show you're tuned in.
It's about the one guy thinks beavers are going to
take over the planet and the other guy gets extremely
worked up over Val Kilma, Tommy Huckleberry, damn right on
(35:15):
that high notes. Thank you all very much, Armstrong and Getty.
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong
and Getty enough he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Shoot at ICE agents on site. That's right. If ICE
agents are trying to take you or a loved one,
shoot them on site. You have every right to shoot
at them. This would be the best self defense case.
You're just in fear for your life. The way these
ICE agents are pulling up with masks on unmarked vehicles,
(00:44):
they are pulling up like GAG members. They are pulling
up like the mafia. You might as well shoot them
on site and have your day in court.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Okay, that is a TikToker. Do you get a visit
from the FEDS? Surely? I yeah, that'd be an interesting case.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
He's specifically inciting violence against law enforcement officers.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, domestic terrorism of some sort. Yeah, I think you
could absolutely classic as that.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I certainly hope something's done about the lunatic because there
are soft.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Heads who will believe him.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But speaking of immigration, I'm trying to remember the situation
before Trump.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Got in office. How is the border doing? The border
is secure?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh, that's right, that's right. March numbers are in. This year,
border patrol encountered two hundred and thirty people per day,
two hundred and thirty. Last year it was seventy two hundred.
Biden's miserable betrayal of the country on the border.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I think most Americans know it.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I hope there are some history who are honest enough
to make it clear how unconscionable it was. Well, Bob Woodward, no,
you know right where in his book called it the
biggest migration in world history. Yeah, peacetime migration in world history.
(02:18):
And all it took was a couple of executive orders
and empowering the border patrol, and it ended.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It ended in the blink of an eye. It also
ended as presidency. So I don't understand. Getting back to
the I don't understand the politics and some of these issues.
It's not like it's popular. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
So we've been talking about, you know, tribalism and politics
and the way progressive minds think and how it's different
from conservatives on and off.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think you'll find this as interesting and amusing as
I did. Michael.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
We're going to start with clip number eighty one, we
will discuss briefly, and then there's a bit of a reveal.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Donald Trump announced this past week that he would be
urging Ice and other stration authorities to seek out people
living here illegally they'd have broken law to deport them.
So have a quote for you here that's been making
the rounds social media about the deportation of criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
We are a nation of laws.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Undocumented workers broke our laws, and I believe they must
be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
That's why over the past six years.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Deportations of criminals are up eighty percent, and we're going
to keep focusing on threats to our security. What's your
thought on that quote in that policy in general, I
think that policy comes from a place of like white
American nationalism.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Donald Trump has kind of like embraced this rhetoric of
like racism and xenophobia that is not beneficial to our
country at all.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
I don't think that that quote really stands true. This
administration has totally not done anything moral.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
This is really awful.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Amnesty does not necessarily mean that we're losing border security.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I think that Trump feels that way.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I think that's a bad decision because like the United
States should be open to like immigrants, Like it's like
they called it a lands with the free for a reason.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We just have to advocate for.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Those kind of people when people like in Congress, like
oas Cortez, who is helping people overcome these kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Crimes do not nullify your humanity, and people are coming
here in search of opportunity.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh my god, several of those were hard to take.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, trying to reason what those people in the short
term would be a fool.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You'd have to have a class because they're they're greeting
card rhetoric level knowledgeable or have thought about this not
at all. They call for a reason, I mean, what
kind of argument is just so transparently stupid. But wait,
there's a twist.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'm gonna show you the person who said that quote
undocumented workers.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Is that surprising, Yeah, a little bit, because I thought
it was the Trump administration that said something like that.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, it's quite surprising.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I thought from Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I didn't expect it to be Obama either.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Why did you not expect it to be Obama?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Because I'm stupid?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I just I guess I don' no like it just never.
It never occurred to me that it could be Abouma.
Is that surprising that it's a quote from President Obama?
That was surprising for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Do you think it's still a practice of white nationalism though,
to deport criminal league aliens? I think the way Trum's
doing it, it is, but President Obama to this to this
point in Trump's presidency, Obama actually deported more people though,
so it's in practice it was more from Obama?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Though, what's your question? Can I boil this down?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Your question?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think I can boil this down very simply. Self
governance doesn't work, and children should be seen and not heard.
And we most institute a nationwide compulsory child test. Are
you still a child? And only when you receive the
a of adulthood tattooed upon your body will you be
(05:49):
able to speak your damn stupid mind. And there will
be a variety of standards shack. If you enlist in
and serve in the military honorably for at least a year,
if you are married, if you have a child, if
you have paid income taxes for five years, there will
be a number of standards. I have an open mind
(06:10):
about this, but unless you are those things. For instance,
if you are a college gender studies major never had
a job, I don't want to hear an effing word
out of you. You don't know enough to advise an
eight year old on the world. Okay, just keep learning,
that's fine. That doesn't mean you're a bad person. It
(06:31):
doesn't mean I hate you. I don't want the new
person in the office to explain to me how things
really work around here. Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Unfair.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was going to go with a blanket rule if
you can't vote till you're thirty, but yours probably more
fair for people who get up to speed on reality
a little earlier, right right, Oh god, that hurts my heart.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I've said this before, and I wish, you know, we
had the power and influence to spread it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's my only lust for like more reach of the show,
which is great now, it's going really really well, and
thanks so much for the support and for listening. But
don't I don't want to make any more money. I'll
take it if it comes, but I just want sanity
to prevail. And I wish more people knew this. Adulthood
life is a big, complicated complex. It's like the Ford
(07:30):
Motor Company Okay, it's really complicated and huge and sprawling,
and if you die at the age of eighty eight,
your last week on earth, you will learn something you
didn't know. You young folks, you college kids especially, you've
been convinced by your professors that you can walk into
(07:52):
the reception area of Ford Motor Company and tell everyone
exactly how how it works and how it should be run.
As you stand there in the reception area having not
explored any of that giant, sprawling corporation. That's what you
are doing. That's why you're so blanking annoying. Which I
(08:13):
was at your age, but nobody paid a damn bit
of attention to what I said at your age, and
they were better for it, and I thought it was
better for it. Okay, boomer um, they call it the
land of the Free for a reason. Oh my god,
we're a nation of immigrants. Boom headshot got me. The
(08:35):
statue of liberty, says, Oh, I can't argue against that.
You can't argue with a statue. A pullem on a statue.
Everybody knows that. Okay, before we take a break, I
got some breaking news for you. Uh oh. Next segment,
a health lesson maybe we all should pay attention to
from the late Val Kilmer, Oh boy, who passed away yesterday.
(08:56):
It's age sixty five. But first, this breaking news is
according to ABC, Trump has indicated to top advisors that
Elon Musk will be taking a step back from his
current role in the administration. Sources familiar with the matter
told ABC News, Okay, I think that's good. Oh, I
(09:16):
think it's good too. I wonder if Elon on his
own just from a I run like six of the
biggest companies in the world that are very complicated. I
can't do this all day every day. If just from
that standpoint, or if he's disgusted with it, or Trump
told him, look, you're doing more than good at this point,
(09:37):
or whatever, I don't know. I'd like to know the why. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Trump is famously a Fox News viewer, and I I'm certain,
as close as certain as I can be, that Trump
saw that fabulous show Brett Baar did where he interviewed
Elon and the half a dozen other like head guys
of DOGE, and Trump, who is a genius at this
(10:00):
sort of thing, said those guys are much better more
effective spokespeople for dogs than Elon Musk is himself and
he's too much of a lightning rod effectiveness, says we
move him a little bit to the background. I'll bet
that's Trump's thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Hmm, you didn't get had anything to do with the
Wisconsin result. Elon jumping around in the cheesehead and I
don't know, but it could have. Tesla stock down thirteen percent.
First quarter numbers just came out today. Here here's a request,
Michael or not stock sales sorry, sales down thirteen oof. Oof.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Every time we mentioned Elon Musk, you gotta play him,
saying chainsawl.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Come on, uh, what can we learn from Doc Holiday
about our own health? Among other things?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
On the way, stay here, Doc, sorry of being dead?
What the hell are you doing this for? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
What is my friend?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Cal? I got lots of friends.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't what was the accent of Doc Holiday in
the movie Tombstone, as played by Val Kilmer famously I'll
be your friend? Why? I mean, what was that I'm
wild West or eighteen hundreds accent? I don't know. I
don't know what that was. I'm you all huckleber. I
never understood that, but it seemed to work for.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
One of the most interesting things I've ever read about
accents is how how they change, and that all you
can rely on is written descriptions of them prior to.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Nineteen hundred. Anyway, Valkimer, the actor who was from that
movie Clip, died yesterday sixty five, and he had cancer.
Cancer he got when he was fifty four and had
a bunch of operations in chemotherapy and radiation, all that
sort of stuff, and then the cancer eventually came back
and killed him. And they got this thing in the
(12:11):
New York Post about signs to look out for. I
don't know if this is boy. I don't know if
this is helpful to anybody it or not, or freak
me out. Persistent sore throat. These are things that they
say he ignored and caused it to go too far.
Difficulty swallowing your pain when you swallow, red or white
(12:31):
patches in your mouth or throat which I wouldn't notice.
Frequent and severe headaches, we all get those all the time.
Nick or ear pain, ongoing cough and coughing up blood.
If you don't go to the doctor when you're coughing
up blood, I don't know what to do for you. Wow,
you're just bent on denial, Yeah, or a lump in
(12:54):
your neck. If I gotta pick lump in my neck
and I'm coughing up blood, even I am going to
the doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, yeah, I get the tendency to not want to
get the terrifying diagnosis, but.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I don't get that. I've never understood that. I want
to know immediately. Yeah, I mean, I understand that a
lot of people are that way. I am not the
I don't want to find out at all. I don't
have that at all. But he struggled to swallow woke
up in a pool of his own blood on several occasions. Hmmm,
(13:28):
really only the once for I'm gonna, you know, go
to the urgent care. I admire actors skill acting. That's
all I want from them. I don't need them as
an example or to think for me. Thank you very little.
One other cancer note that is somewhat serious because it
came up in a real conversation the other day. So
(13:50):
David Dave Coolier? Is that how you say his name?
The star of full House.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
In the subject of Atlantis Morrisset's Jagged Little Pill album, Right.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
All those songs she wrote about like me, sex and
anger and everything, like that about this dude. Anyway, he's
got cancer. He actually has the same cancer I had,
same stage, same cancer, And he the other day said
he was prepared to die after his fifth round of chemo.
I don't know if I could do this again, he
told Bread magazine. And this just came up in a
(14:21):
conversation with some of the other day whose relatives going
through cancer. Here's my only advice on like cancer should
be in the same category as advice on child rearing
in my mind, partially because and this is the only
advice I ever give anybody. Don't listen to anybody's story
because it's got nothing to do with you. Everybody's situation
(14:42):
could be so radically different. I was so misled by
I did this and it wasn't bad, or this part
was horrible, and I had the reverse experience in both
of them. Something that wasn't bad for them was horrible
for me. Something that was horrible for me then was
a walk in the park for me. You have no
idea your situation is different. And also, if they had
cancer eight years ago, the technology has changed so much
(15:05):
in the last eight years, you don't have any So anyway,
my only advice would be and I said this to someone.
Don't don't let them listen to anybody's My uncle had
the same thing and this is what happened to him.
It's worthless information. Yeah, wow, that's good to know. That
is worthy information. I wish I had no going in.
(15:25):
There were a couple of things people told you, oh,
it's a walk in the park that were just brutal
any other way around it. So I was terrified. I
was like, that was what. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I had a friend who was going through a similar
thing to you at this that time you were going
through it, and it was it was black and white,
the difference.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So here's the val Kilmer advice. Then, if you wake
up in a pool of your own blood again, go
ahead and go to urgent care. And when you write
and then they gave me a clipboard and you write
down symptoms walk up and pool of blood again.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, go ahead and include that. Gee maney Yeah, Okay.
Transition music, Michael, We barely got a minute left in
the segment. The major universities of the United States are.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
On the run.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
They have been brought to heal. They are sitting, fetching
and lying down as commanded. And I love this headline,
Rich Lowry the National Review, somewhat sarcastically, this is the headline.
Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to support a larger,
more extensive federal government for one hundred years, because now
it's been used against y'all, thank goodness. So is there
(16:40):
hope in reforming the universities?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Maybe yet another book is out about the end of
the Biden administration. There are some nuggets that are coming
out before the book's actual release. Apparently Obama is working
furiously behind the scenes to make sure Kamala was not
the candidate because she's a moron?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Is that on?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
A talentless moron? Probably because she's a black woman was
the reason. Okay, more on the way, stay here, Armstrong
and Getty.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
There's this scorched earth campaign going on. I just have
a column out today on this where Democrats are shredding
many of the things they believe most fervently about. They're
adopting anti environmental positions, anti labor positions just to get
musk and it's really untoured. But also with the rise
of political violence on the left, it's very concerning. It's
(17:38):
very dangerous, and we're not seeing what we were hoping
to see from Democratic leadership denouncing this campaign.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah. Interesting, And then the breaking news from ABC that
Trump is telling aids that Elon is going to be
backing away from his role or stepping down or something,
I don't know, taking less of an out front right roll. Maybe, Yeah,
be interesting to see that. Joe brought up earlier the
fact that a certain kind of plane has been deployed
(18:09):
to the Middle East. Is that what your story was? Yeah,
be two Spirit stealth bombers. And we were looking for
the actual quote from Trump from two days ago. If
Iran doesn't make a deal, there will be bombing. It
will be bombing the likes of which they have never
seen before. It's got to be that thirty thousand pound
bunker buster which nobody in the world has. But US
(18:31):
Israel can't do that because they don't have them. Right,
So that could be happening any moment, any day, And
that'll be a fun little add in to tariffs and
everything else that's going on. Chimney. Oh, so, there's yet
another book out about the final years months weeks of
the Biden administration. This current one, which I would like
(18:53):
to read, also has Barack Obama working furiously behind the
scenes to keep Kamala Harris from being the nominee. It
says they said that Biden didn't want her to be
the nominee and Obama didn't want her to be the nominee. Man,
you'd think the sitting president and then the most popular
(19:13):
Democrat they've had in forty years would be able to
control that outcome better than they did, right.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I think it fits into what we were talking about earlier,
which was and was that our three grab the podcast
Armstrong and getting on demand. We were talking about, you know,
the different ways progressives see the world than conservatives on
a very very fundamental level, the different way they see life.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
The ezra klient stuff. Is that our two or our three,
I can't remember somebody looking up anyway. There's been so
much wisdom, it's tough to keep track of all of them.
But how people on the left actually believe themselves to
be Katie Recline was the beginning of our three. Thank
you our three, I have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Like I said, progressors actually believe themselves to be morally superior,
further down the road of perfection, morally end intellectually superior,
and therefore they should run things, and they don't trust
processes like the free market. For instance, the non having
(20:29):
of a primary when it became clear that Joe Biden
was every bit as senile as everybody was saying, he
was the decision not to have a primary great example
of that. We can't trust a quickly assembled primary where
people you know, audition for the job and the strongest
survive and the most articulate spokesperson for our policies emerges. No, no, no,
(20:52):
we will decide. We've got to go with the vice president.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yes. Sweet. So Obama apparently went to Biden in there
toward the end and told him I don't see a
path for you, and then was against the idea of
Kamala ending up the nomin knee. So I think that's
the first time we've heard that. You know, we know
Schumer went. New York Times had that story that Schumer
went there to his beach house and told him, if
(21:18):
you don't announce, you're stepping out. I got a whole
bunch of senators that they are going to break tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So, yeah, Obama's obnoxious, but he's got great political instincts.
Mostly I agree with you, but I mostly I don't
think you have to have great political instincts to realize
Joe Biden shouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Run well and that Kamala Harris is a no talent moron. Anyway,
what was I going to say? You know, Obama's lecturing
black males. The only reason you're not supporting her is
because she here against black That was one of the
stupidest maneuvers I've ever seen, the lecturing black dudes that
(21:56):
you you need to get over this whole sexism thing.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Even if that would be idiotic, I don't think it's true. Yes, incredibly,
it's sulting.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Anyway, what's that?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I had a point, but yeah, he in game, respects game.
I mean, he could tell Kamalo was just nothing, but
they went ahead did it.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
My last political note, Bill Maher and Donald Trump had
dinner last night at the White House, So I imagine
we'll be hearing more about that. Yeah, Friday night on
the Bill Maher's show, probably Yeah, crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I want to get to a little update on colleges
and how they've been brought to heal at least temporarily
by the Trump had been I wanted to drink Have
you heard that part Bill Mar's at the White House
with Trump and Kid Rock.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yes, Bill mar says, I'd really like a drink, and uh,
Trump got him a margarita. Wow, I'm telling you. Having
that chef around who's also a bartender, apparently, I'd be
so fat and so drunk.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Oh, they'd have to have, you know, the cabinet to
have to have an intervention. I'd want to in the
Oval office they're all there. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
That was a good margarita? Is that like real line?
Oh yeah, fresh fresh lines flown in from Maine. Okay? Cool?
So you got any more of the biscuits and gravy?
So I need a margarita and more biscuits and gravy.
The cabinet meetings about to start, they get wait, I'm
eating this wallets? How dinner table events? That's right, man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Just to flesh out what Jack said about the bombers,
the US has moved nearly half of its entire B
two Spirit stealth bomber flyable fleet to Diego, Garcia and
the Indian Ocean. In addition, close to twenty tanker aircraft
were moved to the base. Effectively, given the B two
is the range to attack Iran pretty quickly, and not
(23:46):
to go in the full detail, but this plane specifically
can deliver the GBU fifty seven. That's that thirty thousand
pound bunker buster that only we have, and they're among
the few bombs blease capable of destroying buried, hardened complexes
like Iron's nuclear sites. And this plane is spectacular in
(24:09):
its stealth abilities. It relies on this coating skin technology
that's high maintenance, and they keep these things hangared in
air conditioning mostly to preserve the skin. Well, Diego Garcia
doesn't have much of that, so you would not capriciously
(24:29):
move these spectacularly high maintenance and expensive planes just to
sit there for six months in the sun just in case,
Oh no, we're.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gonna bomb ir In. I mean I would bet money
on it, uh to try to take out their nuclear facility.
What do you think the world reaction is gonna be
to that? Assuming it's successful.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Thoroughly predictable and the usual actors are gonna say the
usual things.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Well, I don't care what Russia and China says, but
will lass of a holes right? Well, our Germany, France,
English ends that we've you know, been sort of bad
mouth and lately, well they say, uh, that's a great question.
Of course, what you say out loud is not always
the same as what you actually believe. Oh yeah, exactly.
I was going to say that for domestic consumption, they
will have to condemn violence in all its forms and
(25:17):
or not. Democracy diplomacy is the way to achieve solutions.
Blah blah blah. Behind the scenes, they'll probably call up
Trump and say, way to go, dude, way to go.
We needed that. But yeah, they'll maake motly mouse to
euros style statements. I think most of the world, even China,
will probably think cool, there's one less unpredictable thing we
got to worry about as we try to take over
(25:37):
the world.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, I would love to talk to Shijin Pang
about you know, Iran's on your side these days?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
What do you really think of them? How about domestically
we bomb Ran? It's successful? Is what are college students
and Democrats.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Are going to say, uh, just righteous condemnation, starting a
war for the more manger blah blah blah. And folks,
some folks on the right are gonna say Trump's gone
Neo Khon definitely what happened to JD vance JD talk
to him.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, well, I mentioned this when I read the autobiography
of Mohamed Begen, who was the Prime Minister of Israel
when they bombed a Raq's nuclear reactor, and we condemned
that out loud, we condemned it. Yeah, but behind the
scenes told him all right, nice job. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:37):
the usual people say the usual things. In short, I
feel like in the modern world, it'll be a one
day story from the biggest military attack since Iraq, and
it'll be a one day story. Maybe. Of course, that's
if it goes well, and it might not go well.
These things don't always work out the way they're supposed to. Yeah, yeah,
a lot, I was gonna say. And then you know,
(26:59):
AOC cry or something.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And there's somebody Elon Musk will do something. Everybody will
go crazy and forget about it, which reminds me. I
was reading various theories about the Trump third term thing.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Honey booboo will get married and have a kid something
like that. Wow, Wow, the wedding all of America has
waited for. Honey boo boo. It's all grown up, aren't
we at war with the Ran honey, Bob was grown up,
didn't you hear me? But anyway, somebody was positing that
Trump's one of Trump's greatest talents is distraction, and that
(27:38):
the Mike Waltz signal string war plans thing. He thought,
all right, we'll distract everybody third term, third terms.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Good.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I can lean on that one man.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I can play that card about as often as I
feel like. And so they trotted it out again.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Jeez. And if if the tariffs go badly, he will
announce that the Constitution doesn't apply to him or something
like that. He'll say something completely cuckoo nuts. Right, I'm
going to expand the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Sure, or I will declare myself the Chancellor of America,
which is above the presidency, and people will go crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We are used to successful military operations, these one off
sorts of things, not like Afghanistan was not a successful
military or operation over twenty years, but like this attacking around.
We're used to these things going well. But you could
have a plane load of guys go down captured. You know,
they're prisoners of war. I mean just you know, all
(28:44):
kinds of ugly things could happen. Yeah, true, but it
is this is going to happen. I would be shocked
if we don't bomb the hell out of Iran. So
the left hoisted on by around their own petard, whatever
a petard is. The college they're sitting, they're staying, they're
begging for treats from the Trump administration. It's delightful. What
(29:05):
does it mean? Coming up?
Speaker 10 (29:10):
Starbucks new free refill perk has tripled customer traffic in stores,
which is perfect for everyone thinking this Starbucks is okay.
I just wish there were three times more people using
that bathroom.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I didn't know they had a free refill thing now,
but you'd have to stick around long enough to finish
your coffee and one another one, which I never do. Right. Yeah? Interesting?
So ah. I love this headline from Rich Lowry National Review.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Maybe it wasn't such a great idea to support a larger,
more extensive federal government for one hundred years. He's talking
about how Trump is using every tool he has to
challenge woke practices in America and all the many tentacles
of the federal government and funding, specifically that the Left
is built up through the years. He is aimlessly and
(30:01):
good using them, and Lowry, I wish we had more
time for this, but a recent Slate headline and slates
left colleges are getting in line. An expert in higher
ed finance explains why every school in the US is
vulnerable to Trump. It's the power of the purse, all
(30:22):
the research, all the grants, all the subsidies, all the everything,
and Trump is using it.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I would like to see it all go away.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Right, But you know what, what better use of those
things when you have power than to use them to
reign in the insanity. So a couple of headlines, real quick,
Trump pauses one hundred and seventy five million dollars in
funding to pen over the trans Swimmer deal.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That's a lot of money on dred and seventy five
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I think that may be the smallest amount of money
we're about to talk about as we scroll through these
headlines too. Yeah, it's breath taking amounts of money.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Why are they getting so much money from me? Why
is Penn, which probably has an endowment of billions of dollars,
getting so much money from US taxpayers?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Now I could give you the policy, the stated policy reason,
or I could just say why does the government hand
out money to anybody. Yeah, to ensure they're never ending support.
So Trump is going after him for the whole. Leah
Thomas six foot four inch mail with a penis taking
victories away from women. Oh that kind of male, the
(31:28):
kind with penises. Yeah, male, And I don't use the
term biological male. It's the only kind of male there is,
So it's redundant. And as Riley Gains has described, she
when she tied with the dude, at one point the
NCAA was so terrified of the progressives.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
They said, look, we only got one medal and we're
giving it to Leah. I forgot that. Yeah, and she
cried backstage at how she's being victimized. Oh that was
so horrible. I know, so horrible.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Here's another headline from the journal, Harvard's nine billion dollars
scramble to avoid becoming the next Columbia. The president Alan Garber,
what a man is? A university president? Can't believe it
made a flurry of moves before Trump, before Trump opened
a federal funding review.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
This Garber bloke is dancing as fast as he can.
Why has this been going on so long? Why did
Trump just figure out that, hey, we can really get
these universities to do what we want by Yank and
their funding. Headline Princeton says Trump administration is halting research
grant funding. Nobody wanted to blow back on that. That
(32:41):
that's why nobody's done it before.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well, right, because it's so easy to demogog it and say,
you know what, we are two days from spit from
care and cancer, right, and now all of our research
all the rats died, so now enjoy your cancer, folks.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
All great things are simple and many. Can it be
expressed in a single word? Freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Final thoughts is two words.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Okay, here's your host for final thoughts. Let's get a
final thought from everybody on the crew. There he is
pressing the buttons. Our technical director, Michael Aangelo Michael final thought.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
Okay, I'm getting this ready.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It's for when clinics with passes. Jack, do you want
a clip from Unforgiven or Bronco Billy, Dirty Harry or
the Ape Fight movies? Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman as
a final thought, Katie mine is right along that vein
as well.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
If you want to hear Jack absolutely blow a gasket,
go listen to hour one of today's podcast Armstrong Getty
dot Com.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
We're about thirty percent of shows anytime in the last
twenty eight years. To Shay, that's a good point. Jack.
A final thought for us. Yes, my son and I
are on board. After our food orgy at the baseball
game the other night, hot dogs, milkshakes, we both lost control,
were committed. We're on. We're no more of that. We're
gonna the diet starts today. We're both an agreement. Wow,
(33:58):
new way of looking at life. You gottaci plan. Just
don't eat crap.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
You know, it's funny. That distracted me from my final thought.
Reminded me of a Twitter threat I saw on which
somebody was arguing that corn dogs were stupid and perverse
and how could you eat them? Just eat a regular
hot dog if you have passed on the.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Blessing from the Lord God, that is the corn dog
with a little mustard one. Why are you alive? Wow?
That is good. Yes, you surrender your years to me
so I can enjoy them. Corn dog in hand. Armstrong
and Getty we're having another grueling four hour work there.
So good. So many people think go to Armstrong and
(34:38):
get Eat dot com for the hot links for the
swag drop us a notep mail bag at Armstrong and
geedtdy dot com. Dogs were put on earth to be corned.
That's how I'm corn Dogs are dogs, Marvel, God bless America,
I'm Strong and Getty was he's crazy thinking just as
a national emergency.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yep, absolutely, so let's go with it. Do you tune
into that radio show where they talk about we're all doomed? Yeah,
life is going to hell and our best days are
behind us. That's a good radio show you're tuned in.
It's about the one guy thinks beavers are going to
take over the planet and the other guy gets extremely
worked up over Val Kilma, Tommy Huckleberry, damn right on
(35:15):
that high notes. Thank you all very much, Armstrong and Getty.
