Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
They are going and then got bulls down, but Montomery
is able to pick up.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The first down.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
So got bulls down is he's making the handoff and
they should seal it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They'll run the clock down ball game.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
The Lions on fourth down and made the fourth down
and decided that we're not gonna just play for the
tie and going overtime.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We're either gonna win or lose it. Here we go.
I love it when teams do that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The players were so fired up that the coach made
that decision. The two teams that if you're an NFL fan,
how do you not root for the Detroit Lions and
the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That would be a great super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
They're just a fun teams with cool coaches and cool players,
and their fan base has been awesome, even though they've
sucked my entire life. Well, certainly one of them has
to lose is the only downside. Yeah, And I was
at the Chiefs game last Friday, my Chiefs fan. But
because I'm from Kansas, but it's become clear to me
that unless you are a Chiefs fan, they are like
the Patriots used to be. Everybody hates them. If I
(01:23):
mentioned the Chiefs anybody, it's like, booh, you suck. So
I realized that. But so last night, after the game,
Lions win and stay twelve and one, two teams that
have one loss, and that's Chiefs and the Lines.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But anyway, you don't care about that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
The coach gives this super fired up speech afterwards in
the locker room.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, I told you you'd never forget this game. You
will never forget this game. We don't have to talk
about how tough we are. We don't have to talk
about how resilient we are. We live it, man, We've
been living it.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's where's our defense side. That's the way to step up, man,
that's the way to step up. Are you going skip?
Keep throwing up whatever you're.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Going up.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
On the wire, So the alignment is over in the corner,
vomiting here.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
You go, skip, keep throwing up. Wait a pike, buddy,
Dan Campbell, love.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Him, laughing, live it. That's great. God.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
The way the team reacted on that fourth down was cool.
It's like they were, you know, because fans and announces.
Oh yeah, I don't know if that was a good
idea done most coaches when the players were.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Like, that's done. Why not done? They're gonna win or not? Yes,
I didn't see it. I gotta watch it on the
very Dang, it's very cool. Thrown up, Skip, that's that.
Keep vomiting the boy. Tell you what, when somebody needs
up chuck Skip steps up. If you look around, he pukes.
I was like, that's all pukes. Take you figured him out.
(02:58):
Oh it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
We have some breaking news court cases. We have to
get a couple of biggies. Yeah, yeah, number one. Well,
in terms of significance, this might be number one. Let's
see that a federal appeals court rule that TikTok can
be banned in the US over national security concerns, upholding
a federal law requiring the popular social media to shed
(03:22):
its Chinese ownership to keep operating. That's a three judge
panel US court Fields District of Columbia said Congress has
that power to protect US national security interests. The ruling
rejected a First Amendment challenge brought by the app and
several of its star users. Blah blah blah, the app
which is run by the Chinese Communist.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Party for this specific purpose of undermining the United States
of America. Well, yeah, guys, but I get restaurant.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, but what part did you not hear?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Right?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
How about we can't to promote my art on Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But did you see the blonde college sitting in her
car yelling about Palestine?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Did you see that? That's good stuff? Yeah? Oh my god,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It's one of the craziest things we've done in America
is let the Chinese Communist Party educate all of our
young people on why America country?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Partly? Yeah, yeah, and I don't remember the particulars.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
But there's a big probe TikTok guy who's in Trump's
inner circle now, So it will be really really interesting
to see how that plays out. Because Trump famously was
the guy, to his eternal credit, who woke the US
out of our naive slumber about the communist Chinese Party
(04:39):
in China what it's trying to do. So the idea
that he would hear the case that, well, the commedis
are using this to undermine your country sir, and that
he'd say, well, that's all right.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't think that'll happen.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So it'll be super interesting to watch a second big
time court case. And this is beautiful. A federal judge
has rejected Boeing's guilty plea deal on those multiple Boeing
through seven thirty seven MAX crashes that happened in the
third Third World. You remember that at least one or
(05:12):
maybe both in Africa. I don't remember the specifics, but
the judge rejected the plea deal over the in part
because the deal's diversity, equity and Inclusion provision would have
suggest subjected an independent monitor of Boeing's operations to DEI requirements.
(05:35):
So part of the deal was, you've got to have
an independent monitor making sure you're really following your own
safety rules and rags and that of the federal government.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
But by the way, that monitor has to have full
DEI programs, and has to have quota hiring, and has
to have sensitivity workshops, and has to tell all the
white people are bad and the rest of it. The
DOJ said in the deal it would honor its commitment
into diverse and inclusion when selecting a monitor, a provision
about which US District Judge Riat O'Connor has to be
(06:05):
brief by the agency in October.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
In his ruling, Judge o'counter.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Cited concerns with THEE twenty one Biden administration order that
would seemingly encourage consideration of race and hiring at federal agencies. Quote,
in a case of this magnitude, it is in the
utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this
monitor selection is done based solely on competency, the judge wrote.
(06:32):
And since it's not, the agreement is not in the
public interest. Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Why could we.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Not extrapolate from that ruling in that common sense a
similar modus operandi for everything human beings do where there's
anything at stake competence, skill, excellence. If you don't think
there are enough black people who are like great engineers,
(07:03):
go start a program for little black kids to get
involved in engineering. Don't solve it at the back end
hiring people who are not competent just so you reach
a number. That's horrible and it's un American.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Couple of things.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
First, we got to get the audio from the fiery
hearing yesterday with the Secret Service and all that sort
of stuff. Kind of interesting. We caught a little bit
of it yesterday, so we got to get to that.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Also, well, there's been an accusation of bigfooting Jack, and
we need to get to the bottom of that.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's a term I've just become familiar with.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And the TikTok ruling you mentioned, I didn't realize this.
So the defeat inches the app closer to a us band,
which will take effeck to January nineteenth, unless there's another
court ruling at a higher level.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's pretty soon. Yeah, wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I love this if for no other reason that it
really draws people's attention to our relationship with the Dirty Comedies.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
But I gotta big a question. I gotta ask.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I did keep forgetting to ask it im and meaning
to ask all we canna.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Ask it right after this, Michael, make it so that
mister Armstrong remembers the big question. Okay, a quick quarter
from our friends at Simply Save Home Security. They are
always advancing I thought Simply Safe it was great two
years ago, well everybody did, but they've made it even
better with their active guard outdoor protection. It changes the
game by preventing crime before it even happens. If somebody's
(08:23):
lurking around your house acting suspiciously, the agents and AI
see them in real time, talk to them directly, figure
out what they're doing. They can set off your spotlights,
call the cops before the break in.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Holy Cow and that crazy great monitoring about a bucket day. Yeah,
it's super simple to understand old school systems. Even Simply Safe.
They catch somebody inside your home and then jump on it.
Now you catch people before they get in your home.
What the help is Simply Safe and their active guard
outdoor protection. And like Joe said, it's about a dollar
a day, and they've extended the Black Friday offer.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Yeah, and worth mentioning also that you get that dollar
a day if you sign up for five years. Wait, no,
there are no long term contracts and no cancelation fees.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Go to simply Safe dot.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Com slash armstrong get that fifty percent off any new
system with a selected professional monitoring plan. Again, that's Simplysafe
dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
So we've talked about the political story now being reported
multiple outlets that the Biden White House is really wrestling
with the idea of blanket pardons for people that have
never been charged with anything or whatever because of the
evil Trump administration is going to go after Adam Schiff
and Mark Milly and Liz Cheney and what's the other one?
(09:38):
Don't matter, and then Sauci Fauci right, oh cheez, who
is guilty of millions of deaths? Anyway, Not to get
away from the main point, anyway, I've heard a couple
of people respond differently than me, and I just I
don't think you. I don't know if you've answered this
question specifically, if you were president of the United States,
(10:00):
would you let your and your son committed crimes like
Hunter Biden did? Hunter Biden committed crimes, he pled guilty
to crimes he signed, He made a deal. He wrote
about it in his book. He's as guilty as guilty
can be over a couple of things. Would you let
your kid go to jail for not that long, probably
to serve out the sentence he agreed to, or would
(10:22):
you pardon him? What would you do? Joe Getty.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Paul, Yeah, It so depends on the circumstances and his
life trajectory. I think I would be at the very
least extremely tempted to pardon him for the specific offenses
for which he was convicted, or commute the sentences or
something like that and say, look, I'm a daddy, straightened
(10:51):
himself out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I love him.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I can't leave office. I've got a magic wand I'm
going to use it. I don't The answer is, I
don't know, but I'm not eliminating that I would never, ever, ever,
ever issue a blanket pardon for anything he might conceivably
have done during an eleven year period. I find that obscene.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I guess the argument would be, you you think
the Trump administration is evil and into law fair and
they're going to ruin him financially and be nitpicking at
him for years to come.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
And but yeah, I get that, you know, at the
risk of repeating my screitive earlier, but to put to
give a license for lawlessness over a long period of
time to any human being is utterly on American It's unthinkable.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I was surprised.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I was listening to a couple of podcasts where several
moms and dad said Vice President I would not pardon
my son he committed those crimes. I'm the president of
the United States. I have to set a standard of
you know, you do the crime, you do the time.
No one's above the law.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It's part.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It comes with the territory. Sure it sucks for my kid,
and I could get him out, but that's the more
important thing. Is a country. You took the oath of office.
You're president of the damn United States. You know the
buck stops here.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Show it. I get that argument.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
It gets me kind of fucked up, except for if
I was actually sitting there on January nineteenth, then my
son was about to go to prison.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Yeah, as a conservative talk show host saying that boldly
and confidently is a better move on the air or
on a podcast, I believe it. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Yeah,
I'm not. I'm not claiming that that's the only reason
somebody would say that. I get it in principle. But
if I think about my own kid having screwed up
and I'm leaving office, I've got to admit I would
(12:35):
at least think about it. But I would and listen.
I if I perceived that there was some sort of
injustice at work, I would not only for political cover,
but because it's morally right, I would say, and therefore
I am advocating the passage of the Justice for the
Unjustly Convicted Act, or a program to help people in
(12:57):
a similar spot or something like that. Just single out
my son and say no, he gets a get out
of jail free pass.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
The rest of you scumbags don't. That's just that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Quite the heated argument in Congress yesterday with a Republican
congressman yelling at a Secret Service dute got hot, you
play that for you?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Among other things on the way stay here.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We caught the tail end of this yesterday while we
were on the air, and it just happened. They're having
a grilling in Congress about the assassination near successes with
Donald Trump and grilling secret Service people. I'm trying to
figure out how to make it better, although most hearings
aren't about making things better, they're about getting on TV
in your local district.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They were not Grill and Jack. They were not chilling
during the grilling. They were not.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
There was more yelling than when Janet walked it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It was a lot of people he bellowing at each other.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So this is a Texas Texas, Texas Republican congress person
ripping into a secret.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Service the acting head of the Secret Service representative there
at the ring. And here's how it sounded, special agent
in charge of the detail.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
Were you the special agent in charge of the detail
that day? Actually, let me address this? Could you please staff?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Leave?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
No leave that went up with the circle around me?
Thank you? So, Actually, congressman, what you're not seeing is
the sack of the detail off out of the pictures view.
And that is the day where we remember the more
than three thousand people that have died on nine to eleven.
I actually responded to ground zero. I was there going
(14:32):
through the ashes of the World Trade Center. I was
there at fresh Kills.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm not asking you that agenthow respect die? I do
not know that you're trying to be do that invoke
nine eleven for political purposes? Not I'm invoking this war, sir,
ask him?
Speaker 4 (14:56):
And don't mean.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'm luckive member of Congress and I'm asking you a
serious question, and you were I am a public servant
who has served this nation. And you won't time questions
on our day, on our country dorklessness. Committee will commit
will come to or asking you serious questions for the
American people, and they're very simple, they're not true questions.
Were you the special agent in charge that I wasn't?
(15:19):
I was there representing mister not effect protective?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What you were in the expired because you want.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
To be visible, because you aren't listening for this for
a fond member of this agency, you Fressman, vice President Life,
because you are putting you put those agents out of position,
mister radio, mister ball, what happened, sir?
Speaker 7 (15:45):
And you were out of line?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's pretty jesz. Good lord, that's pretty jesz.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
How did they end up barking about nine to eleven
over whether or not Trump got his head blown off?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
And this is why I'm just not that into this.
Although it was a fine example of two men at each.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Other, it was a very good example of that if
you're a fan of the genre.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
The congressman was accusing Ronald Rowe, who was the acting
head of the Social Security, of big service Secret Service. Yeah,
I'm sorry, Secret Services, the other ss, well, the other
other sss, of big footing, which is a term only
people in Washington, DC use, of getting his way into
(16:26):
the picture with the really powerful people for political purposes.
He's auditioning for the permanent job as head of the
Secret Service, and that somehow him forcing his way into
that small group by the president decreased the security around
the president because maybe he took the place of an
(16:48):
actual working Secret Service agent because he really wanted to
be in the picture and the other guy and the
Secret Service guy. And if I'm wrong on this, I'm wrong,
and I'll admit it. My simp these lie with him.
He's saying, no, I was there representing the Secret Service
at the nine to eleven memorial because a bunch of
guys died on nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That's why I was there.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
You were big footing, you were auditioning.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
For the job.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
So the congressman's trying to make the argument that you
should never rise up or be in charge of the
Secret Service because you've already demonstrated that you're more concerned
with the politics of things than the protecting the protect Indeed,
that was his Yeah, the greater point ycually got a
scream it you can't say it well.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
And this is the new guy who came on after
the debicle of the assassination attempt.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I just again, really good grown men bellowing at each other.
But in terms of significance, I just don't.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't know if I got us any closer to
figuring out how the hell somebody ends up on a
roof with a rifle pointed at the president that close
and ironically, everybody was at the hearing says until that
moment it was actually very productive by partisan God dang it,
that kind of derailed it, right, and then that's the
only thing anybody hears about the hearing.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh, we got to play maybe one of our clips
of the year. We haven't played it for a while.
We've gotta play that. That's coming up, Stay to.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Spotify is releasing its annual Wrapped playlists, where they recap
your streaming habits for the year, and once again, the
number one most streamed artist globally was Taylor Swift's.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, no, that's no surprise.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
There's no surprise She's topping every list at this point.
She was just named number one kitchen tile installer in
the Tri State area.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Taylor's version. Yeah, those.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
What I would like to know is her being the
number one streamer on Spotify. How much money that actually
put in her pocket because it'd be a shockingly small
amount of money.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
Yeah, where you've got to achieve super duper stardom to
really make anything.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Well, I don't know if you can according to various
stars that I like talking about how I had a
million plays last month and made a dollar and a half,
you know that sort of thing. It's it's quite amazing.
We do have some breaking news. The jury in the
trial of Daniel Penny told the judge they could not
come to unanimous decision on the top charge of manslaughter.
(19:23):
Are you you're up to date on this more or
less on many? Okay, So maybe we'll talk about that
in a little bit. I want to get this clip on.
Wanted to get it on every hour. I think this
should be in the finalist for Clip of the Year,
even though it's not funny or the kind of stuff
we usually do, just because I think it's important. This
is the Speaker of the House, third in line to
the President yesterday.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Government uh is too big, it does too many things,
and it does almost nothing well, and the taxpayers deserve better.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
It's short, it's pithy, but what's the last time you
heard somebody at that level say that play it again, Michael.
Speaker 8 (19:55):
Government is too big, it does too many things, and
it does almost nothing well and rock taxpayers deserve better.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Right, Let's just start from there. You have different priorities
than me. Okay, let's talk about it. But let's all
never forget what we have just heard because it is undeniable.
And I know we talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
But the way to sell it to the left is
you want your programs for the trans bathrooms, are the
homeless or whatever. This is where you get your money. Yeah,
by not wasting it on other crapper dup, we'll get.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Programs or whatever or stuff that was started forty years ago,
didn't work as an intended never has worked, but just
keeps growing its budget for some reason.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Get rid of that stuff. You got plenty of money.
A couple other little things before we get to the trial.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Josh crush Hour, writing in Axios yesterday, I thought this
was interesting. Behind the curtain Biden's haunting Twin Sins Joe Biden,
age eighty one, will limp away from the limelight. Widely
disliked by the public and now loathed by many Democrats
who blame him for the twin sins of selfishness, running
(20:59):
again and then pardoning Hunter after saying you wouldn't right.
Biden's going to limp away from the White House, disliked
by everyone, including top Democrats. Yip, I would like to
go back to twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
I guess it would be when it was looking like
Joe Biden might be the nominee and we were talking
about who he is, his political weakness, his character, his
history of lies and exaggerations and the rest of it,
and how he's always been kind of a mediocrity and
a hack and a backslapper. I don't think anything that's
(21:35):
happened in the last four to five years has changed
a syllable of that in my head.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I might be more adamant about it, but he was
what he's always been.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
He was the adult in the room, the man of character,
the wise elder statesman, the steady hand.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That was all invented. He ought to be on that
Mount Rushmore. That was a crazy invention.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
My word as a Biden, right, your word's worth nothing,
you lie constantly, you're half a nutcase.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Then go meanwhile a mobster.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, did you see the statue
of old man a sad come down in Hama, Syria.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That was something.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
So the current dictator, evil devil, human being, Asad his dad.
This is the way it works in dictator ships or
kingdom sometimes was also the dictator and a horribly violent man,
and once went into this village of Hama and slaughtered
most people, believe forty thousand people, mostly fighting age males,
(22:42):
because the city had rose up risen up against him.
Slaughtered forty thousand people in like the most brutal Middle
Ages sort of way you possibly can. Well, enough of
the rebels have taken over enough of Syria. Now they
went into that very town and took down that guy's statue.
But that had to be a feeling for them. Doesn't
mean they're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The day you got to start for her, that they should.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
It's all about Sheites and Sunnies and Alloites. It's all
sect sectarian divisions and who's going to be in charge
and which of the powers Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, US
who backs home.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So Taylor Lorenz is no longer a columnist for The
New York Times or the Washington Post, but she once
was for two of the most important newspapers in the world,
and The kind of person she is has been laid
out in the last several days. She's the one who
said raw dogging the air and got all up said
about COVID protocols in a weird way. But she's big
(23:42):
on the whole CEO of United Healthcare getting gunned down,
and she put out a Corota column yesterday. Yes we
want insurance executives dead. Wow, she said, No, that doesn't
mean people should murder them. But if you've watched a
loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal
to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.
(24:03):
Happy to see the CEO of United Healthcare gunned down
in the street.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, yeah, you know this is.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
And I wanted to talk about this and I can't
believe we've gotten this far without it coming up. The
more you dig into and I haven't read the book.
That is the basis or really the reflection of a
saying a slogan that people who look into this, study, this,
fight this are fully aware of. That's delay, deny, defend,
(24:37):
that's the way the healthcare companies, the insurance companies save money,
including in my opinion and those of many others, perfectly
legitimate claims. If you have a thousand legitimate claims and
you deny, say five hundred of them, and then you
delay until people get tired of they get other treatment,
(25:00):
or they pay for themselves, or they forget about, or
they die, and then when it goes sideways, you defend
those few cases that you will save money even though
you have put people through hell trying to get what
they have been paying for. That if it results in
the death of a loved one, would fill you with
murderous rage.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Most people don't know this. I didn't know this.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Until our friend Craig, the healthcare genius, let me know.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
If you will me.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Say this, just very briefly, but that doesn't mean you
get to murder anybody. You have to find another way.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
That should go without saying, but I'm glad you said it. Well,
it doesn't go without saying. In Taylor Lorenz world, apparently,
if you get turned down, if you work for a
big company and you get turned down, it wasn't the
insurance company that turned you down. It was the company
that you work for. The company that you work for,
if you work for a big company, is the one
that calls the shots. They hide it behind the healthcare
(25:59):
company because the health care companies are giant and impossible
to take on and they're used to being hated. Your
company doesn't want you to hate them if you work
for a really big company.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But they're the ones that make the decisions. And I
didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And Craig says, most people have no idea that that's
who they're talking to, their own company that they work
for a lot of the times. So I don't know
if that's your situation where you are, but it's very possible.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
He is. A lot of it is self insurance.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
They use the healthcare provider, yeah, because they have the
the mechaiic work to process stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, but yeah, but the decisions on that stuff is
being made by your own company. And so that's pretty
interesting aspect of the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That very few people are aware of.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, and again, you can't murder people the laws of
God and man forbid it. Decency forbids it. But I
have a very strong feeling when the facts of this
perpetrator situation come out, there is going to be a
lot of sympathy. I saw it interestingly on Twitter, which
(27:03):
is so interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It is all these things at once.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Is it is great source for breaking news, really interesting perspectives.
You get information you never would have found on your own,
and it's a cesspool of hate and.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Division and lies.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
People being sympathetic towards the shooter saying good the guy
got what he wanted. Was being portrayed as a right
versus left thing, which I thought was interesting and I
don't think really fits. But our healthcare system, insurance system,
everything in the US is so screwed up. It is
so monumentally unjust and expensive and abusive and stupid. It's
(27:44):
I don't even want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So I want to ask you about the Daniel Penny
trial right after this and the breaking news around that.
I know one thing that I'm eating this weekend. I'm
grilling up some of those filet mignons with the little
bacon around them from Omaha Steaks. Those are so really
really good steaks.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Minimum purchase may apply. Maybe we ought to take a
break in talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Joe got fired up during the commercials on some breaking
news around the Daniel Penny trial the other day.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I haven't been following, but it's the.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Guy who you know, there was a scary a scary
guy in the subway and he wrestled the guy to
the ground and.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
The guy died.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
And now he's being charged with, you know, all kinds
of horrible crimes and could go to prison.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And what's that going to do to.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Decent citizens ever coming to someone's aid all across America
if he ends up going to prison, right right? And
the breaking news around the jury saying they can't come
to a conclusion. So we've got some more on that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Stay here.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
So I'm out in the sales area the other day
here at the radio station, and we got on the
topic of buying stuff for Christmas, and somebody mentioned the
Armstrong in Getty Store and how are they were going
to get a fan of the show they know an
Armstrong and get a sweatshirt. I think the Adida sweatshirt
is really hot right now, but T shirt or whatever that.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Is a pretty I mean, you know, you get certain,
you got.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
People that you really care about, and it's very important
you get him a good gift. Then there's people that
you know you just got to get him something. You
got to scratch it off the list. You know you
like him enough. Whatever big the.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Armstrung and Getty Superstore is great for both, perfect for that. Yes,
either way, people are digging the classic stupid should hurt
hot dogs are dogs?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Cut the crap flying off the shelves.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
We got to say that more, folks, is people confront
us in real life for the workplace with this crap
that the postmodern lunatics are trying to shove down their throats.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Cut the crap so that during the Daniel Penny trial
came out and said they can't come to an agreement,
a unanimous agreement on the biggest charge of manslaughter.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
You were fired up.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I've heard a bunch of people fired up over the prosecution.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Of this thing. Is what is going on here?
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Well, it's, first of all, it's Salvin Bragg's super progressive
prosecutor's office in the gal who's heading up the prosecution
of this case is a way left wing activist kook.
And the fact that this is a white guy who
was involved in the death of a black man is
like the whole impetus for the case because in it's
(31:07):
just there's not much there at all. The decedent that's
the dead guy has dozens of arrests, many of them
for assaulting people on subway. Oh my God, and Daniel
Penny says, yeah, I stopped this guy from hurting people.
And when I've let go, when the cops got there,
he was dead.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
I didn't mean to. I mean, I don't know what
he died of.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
If you're following this at all, I mean Penny laying
on his back, holding him like in a headlock, trying
to restrain the guy because he was obviously dangerous. And
you know the difference between straining a guy and them
dying would be difficult to tell in the midst of
a fight.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Right, So anyway, the jury says, no, we can't come
to a verdict, So the judge is probably going to
give him what's known as the uh what's the the
the Allan charge, the Allan order, Allan charge, Yes, urging
them to reach a unanimous verdict.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
It's important as you reach your verdict, and they'll.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Go back in the room and say, I still think
what I thought before he yelled at us, how about you?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, me too?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
But so were their efforts to make it seem like
it was a white guy killing a black guy because
he's a racist.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
There's all sorts of stuff, and the family is out
there claiming that and all sorts of black people were
on the subway car thanking Daniel Paddy for apprehending this
guy and helping him restrain him.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
And the rest of it is it's it is a DEI.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Blacks Lives matter fake whipping up racial hatred over well
in a place where it does not belong.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
That was evident within the first couple of days of
this happening, and that's what bothered me so much. I mean,
the people in the subway car, including lots of black people,
were like, thank god he was there.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, that's really troubling. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
The only good news is that it appears that he
will not be convicted anytime soon of manslaughter. This The
next charge down is reckless homicide or something like that,
negligent homicide, yeah, but criminally anyway, I suspect that the
(33:13):
jury will remain hung as opposed to hanged. You can't
hang a jury. The jury will remain hung, and the
prosecutor's office BB being lefty radicals, may try to try
him again.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
I hope not fout out.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
The New York Times editorial Board wrote a piece yesterday
the Daniel Penny Penny trial. Alvin Bragg is a menace
to our society and must go.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah. Well, the people of New York apparently don't feel
the same way. Do you remember Susan Smith, the woman
who killed her kids? You remember that. I don't want
to get him into a lake.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, I remember that ages ago. She was denied parole.
The other day I got a lot of attention. This
just came out.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Kill her mom.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Susan Smith was hoping to go on Dancing with the
Stars if she was paroled this week, and his devastated
that it didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Wow, well that would have been something.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Oh speaking of famous women or infamous there are developments
in the story of the excuse me hawk twug girl.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
See, I still don't know the story. I haven't looked
into it. I feel like I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, we've talked to but I've never watched the video
where I just have never It won't gratify you in
any way. That's what I thought. Don't bother, Okay, and
I haven't.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
But so this girl is some webcast dude asks her
a question about a sex act, and she simulates spitting
on a man's anatomy, and it simulates the sound of it.
And it catches on.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
My son anyway, my son wanted to dresses her for
Halloween because his friends would have thought it was so funny.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
And I said, yes, they would have that's correct. And
I said, no, you ain't.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
All right, let me go through this real quickly because
I've got to get to the punchline. So the Internet
loves a good meme, and when Hailey Welch, better known
as the Haktua Girl, became in her own night sensation,
no one could predict how far her meme would go.
But as with many Internet phenomena, the journey from meme
to meme coin was both swift and surprising. So her
fame began with a simple, candid moment on a video
(35:20):
which I have described celebrities. Everybody was talking about it,
parodying it, laughing about it within moments, As the Internet does, so,
Hailey Welch wasted no time turning her viral fame into
a thriving business. She earned an impressive sixty five thousand
dollars through a partnership with a clothing line she did not.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yes, she did.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
She also started accepting exclusive party invitations, raking it up
to thirty thousand per night.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Just to make an appearance at parties.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Oh boy, you better go to eight parties that week
because this is not gonna last long.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
She also signed with a music management company.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
See I'm horrified and understand the same. If I'm a
rich guy and this is two days after she's gone
viral and I'm having a party on a Friday night.
What is more hilarious than ladies and gentlemen? The Hawk
to a girl? I have not gotten to the good part.
Her rise to internet fame.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Has brought high profile collaborations, including with Jake Paul, who
is promoting her brand to a large audience. N he
was somewhat involved in crypto. Even Mark Cuban, a big
name in the cryptocurrency world, got involved with her meme
coin project.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So she now has a.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Like a cryptocurrency.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Now the hawkt a coin or what's it called? I
can't find it here, So it's like Trump shoes, it's
a hawk to a coin.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Well, she's trying to get a cryptocurrency, going.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (36:54):
But what happened next was pure chaos. Taking the hype
and drama to her new level. The hawk coin launched
and rapidly hit a five hundred million dollar market cap
within minutes, only to crash and lose ninety five percent
of its value in the next five minutes.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
So the whole thing lasted like seven minutes.
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Yes, I hope you didn't lose your family fortune in
the Hawk to a coin, A wise investor
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Armstrong and Getty
