Speaker 1 (00:11):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Getty and he arms get.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
A brom studio scene signor hey, dimly lit.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Room deep within the fowls.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And today on a.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Thursday or under the tutelage of our general manager, bearded
rich guys wearing robes and riding camels. Bearded rich guys
wearing robes, Comma riding cameras correct.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Middle Eastern potent cool.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just since I started with a cough, let me
just say, in case you don't know your new listener whatever,
I have whooping cough. So it's either don't work for
three months or come in in cough.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
So there you go. That's that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, you seem much better, just your general demeanor. I
think I definitely feel better. This is this is the
first day in a month where I haven't woken up
in the morning and thought there's no way I can
work today. There's just no way I can make this happen.
I don't even think that today, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
With apologies for the mild vicinity. It ought to be
called ass whooping cough when an adult has it, because
it's a tough son of a gun man. Update your vaccine.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Although we got a text from somebody who said they'd
been listening and said, I asked my doctor about you.
I update my vaccine and they said only if you can,
only if you like have these other corbidities, will they
give it to you or something? And I don't know, really,
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Funny, Yeah, yeah, I think I have any comorbidities. My
Dodd Dresden mentioned it to Looking at you, I can
see a couple well their points, but the doc thought
it especially because it includes the tetanus.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, the tea DApp that you get as a little kid. Yeah,
but it doesn't last forever. Apparently, I find out and
get the ass whooping COFs. And our next door news station,
the news of a lady there just told me that
they did a story of whooping cough because the cases
are up around here.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They're up around riding places.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
They've doubled in twenty four twenty five from twenty four
and twenty four was double from twenty three. So it's
didn't like it, you know, again, don't get it would
be my recommendation.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Back to the bearded people.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So I was all excited about it being Thursday. Was
Putin gonna show in Istanbul? Where Zelenski was gonna show?
And were they going to meet face to face? And
then there were rumors for a couple of days that
maybe nobody ever thought Putin was gonna show, I guess.
But then there were rumors for a couple of days
that maybe Trump shows as.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
He's in the area.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And then you got you do the empty chair routine
where you got Trump and Zolensky in a meeting and
there's an empty chair where Putin's supposed to be, and
you give a big lecture about here, this man clearly
doesn't want peace because he did not show up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But Trump, Trump did not do that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
As Zolensky's there, Marco Rubio's there, some minor Russians are
there who Zlensky says he's not going to talk to.
And I don't blame him. And we'll see how this
plays on the on the national stage. But at least
so far, I mean, the only way this turns into
something is if Trump comes out forcefully and says, as
you can see, Putin doesn't want peace. He didn't show up.
(03:39):
I told him that they both should show up, and
he didn't show up. And I was watching News Nation
this morning, and the reporter on there said, Trump told
me just an hour ago that the reason he couldn't
solve this in one day like he thought is he
didn't realize how hard it would be to deal with
President Zolensky.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
That's what he told News Nation. So he's certainly not
trying to make it look like Putin was the odd
man out today. I'm completely mystified by that. A couple
of things. First of all, last night, Trump hinted again
that he would come to Turkey if Putin attended. But
he's not going to attend. And here's a question for you.
I love the empty chair ideas an illustration of that,
(04:19):
which is plainfully, painfully, plainly obvious. What's the need for that.
It's like it's another version of Jake Tapper's book. You know,
we don't need Donald Trump or anybody else writing a
book that says, turns out Putin doesn't want peace, he
wants conquest. Yeah, we know, right, Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know what happens at this point other than
I think Putin gets what he wants, which is to
continue to the war. He wants to continue the war,
you see, is the deal.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Trump held out the possibility of a breakthrough in spite
of all this. Of course, that's just Trump the salesman.
It's ridiculous. It's the he keep saying that, of course
we can come deal, will come to a big, beautiful deal.
It's just good negotiating. You keep everybody's optimism going so
you can work on him a little more.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And then so he spoke to the troops for over
an hour this morning there in Qatar, a base of
believe my brother's been stationed out before. And I said
a bunch of nice things about the troop, as he does,
and they cheered him like crazy because they like him.
And he also talked about coming up with some sort
of deal with Iran, and we're gonna strike a deal.
(05:31):
He wants Ran to be a glorious successful country. They
just can't have a nuclear weapon. But blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I have a feeling, hold on, hang on, everybody, stand by.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I have a feeling if Barack Obama had been saying
exactly the same things about Iran, he'd be getting killed
by the right for some sort of appeasing the country
that's been threatening to blow U up forever.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But I don't know. Yeah, again, the difference in style,
I think is important. I too saw the statements Trump
made about how we're very close to a deal, a big,
beautiful deal. We can either do it the nice way
and come to a deal, or you know, bring down
more violence than anybody's ever seen in their lives, which
is a pretty good contrast. The difference is when Barack
(06:12):
Obama signaled that he would make a weak deal with
the devil and let the devil have what it wanted,
he meant it with Trump again, it's that, oh wee can,
good day, Let's stay at the table, let's work down this.
We've got a deal withinside. Absolutely, I believe, for all
of his false Trump is willing to bring the thunder
(06:34):
if it doesn't come together. There's a huge gulf between
the two countries, so I think Trump is just striking
his standard super optimistic tone about negotiation.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Apparently, we presented Iran an offer on Sunday, that's the
breaking newsday.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We presented him an offer.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And then last night, as I was going to bed,
Iran accepted the offer on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't know what that means anything and the United States,
tweets do not necessarily imply acceptance of offers national treaties.
Right if you heart my offer, does that mean we've
got a treaty?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I retreated your offer. I thought we had a treaty. No,
retweets did not count as a treaty.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They don't know. No, no, no, I'm about on an
interst You got to quote tweet it and say I
accept idiot. Two big things that are happening in WAH world.
What if you do an Instagram video in your car
talking to your phone. I just got an offer from
Iran and I am unbelievably pissed off. Let me tell
you why. Right camera pointed at your face in your
(07:34):
car parked. Hey guys, I just have to let you
know this deal from Iran is awful and wipe away
tears exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And looking around like you're just kind of bored with
what you're doing, which is a weird style that has
become popular.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes, it's popular, it's inevitable, it's omnipresent.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Two things that are happening wah War on the air today,
starting in like fifteen minutes Old Diddy's ex girlfriend is
going to get cross examined, and Katie Green's gonna watch
that and stay on it. How hard they're gonna come
at the pretty damn sympathetic eight month pregnant woman who's
told some pretty horrific stories. Who knows, but man, if
(08:19):
the Weinstein trials of like the last week have been anything,
they go to tear these people apart and make them cry.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, if I'm getting paid zillions of dollars and or
I'm the defendant and i may be in a cage
for the rest of my life, I'm like, yeah, go
ahead and hurt her feelings. Although they're going to portray it, but.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You were a jur you don't want to do it
to the point that it turns the jury against.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You, right, right, Although they're in a heck of a spot,
it could be that needle is unthreadable, but they have
to thread it to the side of undermining your testimony
and killing your credibility if they think her testimony has
been strong enough to really seal the deal or at
(09:05):
least come close to it. So that's that is a
tough nut to crack, he says, mixing several metaphors.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
She was so despondent, she testified yesterday. At one point
she tried to walk out into traffic to kill herself.
What good Lord think of the baby? So the defense
before she was pregnant. This was back when she was
just split up with Diddy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I thought she meant.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yesterday, No, no, no, no, sorry, good Lord, she testified yesterday.
Maybe my comma or something was in the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay, Uh so, what was I gonna say, oh about?
Oh yeah, they're going to try to portray her as
a woman scorned, angry ex with a pension of violence
herself pension four violence. Uh so, yeah, we'll see how
that goes.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
One of the most interesting details that came out yesterday,
So she sued him back in the day over all
this sort of stuff. I didn't realize that that had
already been settled, the money angle of it, And it
came out yesterday that they settled after one day for
twenty million dollars. She got twenty million dollars to shut
up and go away. Wow, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah. Well, although the announcement of that settlement brought a
bunch of other accusers out of the Woodwork, who said, yeah, okay,
it's safe to say what he does. Now I'm saying it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't need twenty million, but two would be cool
or something like that. Or I'd like to see his
cruel sick arse in jail. The other thing I'll mention
quickly that's happening is the Supreme Court hearing oral argument
on the whole birthright citizenship thing. And it's the hottest
case of the summer, with long lines outside the door
of people trying to get in and everything.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So we'll see what what that conversation was like, will
the nine rule bueno or no bueno?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I just saw a poll as an NPR poll, but
they had only a third of Americans want to do
away with birthright citizenship. I was surprised by that. I've missed.
There's one I missed. That's one where I thought America
was on the side of no, you shouldn't get to
be a citizen jail because they got.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Across the border and you were born here. But I
would like ten minutes to talk to America.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Actually I get four hours of day and say, all right,
let's talk about this seriously.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Friends. How about if somebody sneaks into the country utterly
without any legal authorization. They are a known agent to
the Chinese Communist Party and the only reason they seek
citizenship for their child is to use that child as
a mole for the evil Communist plots of today and tomorrow.
(11:34):
You want to give them a passport, and America would
say no, Joseph, we see the plane and compelling logic
of your argument, and they I would switch them up to.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Our Well, we can talk more about that later, and
I'm sure we'll be hearing something about the oral arguments.
We should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Joe Getty. Unless it is Thursday, May fifteenth, the IDEs
of May. You're twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong and Getty,
and we approve of this program.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Then let's begin the show officially according the FCC rules
and regulations at mark.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I think some of the criticism is fair, to be
honest of me, certainly, I'm not going to speak for
anybody else, but knowing then what I know now, I
look back at my coverage during the Biden years, and
I did cover some of these issues, but not enough.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No not. I look back on it with humility. Oh really, got.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Jake Tapper showing some humility over missing the most obvious
story in America.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
There's a bright guy trying to figure out what to
do now that he and his book are a punchline
for it even hits the bookstore shelves.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
More on that later. So we got Katie's headlines. We've
got lots of stuff on the way, and our text
line is four one five two KFTC. I haven't watched
this video yet. Yes, it's three professors at Yale, some
of them somewhat well known if you follow the or
who are leaving the United States because of its slide
(12:58):
into authoritarianism. And their video is we study fascism and
we're leaving the United States.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They're going to go teach at the University of Toronto.
I guess hi. My one word response, like Katie says
bye anyway. Maybe more on that later.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Safe travels, lads, if you think of coming back, don't.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting. What's speaking Katie. It's
the Leads story with Katie Green, Katie. What's happening? Starting
with ABC.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Trump says the Ukraine Russia peace meeting will not happen without.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Putin Wend and that was no effort to put any
pressure on Putin or make Putin seem like the obstacle
for being the one that didn't show up.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't know what Trump's hoping to get out of this.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
From the New York Post, Rhode Island capital to hoist
Palestinian flag at city Hall citing diversity.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What. There's an article, an editorial in the Wall Street
Journal about how we're moving into the post progressive world,
post progressive US. Yeah. I wouldn't lay down your arms
quite yet. There is still absolute madness among a significant
portion of the population that's been steeped in this stuff
(14:15):
since they were kids. This battle is far from over.
And Jackie, you guys touched on this a bit.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
But USA today, Cassie Ventura reveals how much did he
paid to settle her twenty twenty three lawsuit. And the
reason I'm bringing this back up is one of the
huge deals with this is that one of the main
things sided in that lawsuit with sex trafficking.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Oh interesting, Yeah, so that's why they're bringing it up.
So he got sued for.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Sex trafficking Cassie back in twenty twenty three and paid
her out.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Okay, So yeah, de facto confession kindness sort of.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, and she's going to be cross examined today.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
From Reuters.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Rogue communication devices found in Chinese made solar power panels.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Whack, they're listening to me through my solar panels.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Why. It's as if the Chinese communist parties dishonest and
bent on our destruction.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Now, come on China. From Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Colorado murder rate dives after Ice deports Trendy or Ragua
gang bangers. Coincidence homicides in Denver down fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Percent and Aurora thirty six percent. Yeah, it's early days.
As we're highlighting the other day. Colorado's become a progressive
this in the last several years. So hope they get
straightened out.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
How about you put down the ball and breathe in
some reality Colorado?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
From page six, Chris Brown arrested for smashing tequila bottle
over music producer's head at nightclub.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I can only follow one violent hip hop star at
a time. I'm on to Sean Diddy Combs now, I'll
get to Chris Brown later.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Apologies.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Study finds AI tool predicts cancer survival odds by simply
analyzing a photo of the patient's face.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What you'll look like? You're okay? You looks so good?
What I thought, Oh you look a little rough. Sure.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And finally from the Babylon b Trump and Saudi King
Prince enjoy romantic evening, magic carpet ride for two.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Hey, the restructuring of the US relationship with a number
of the emirates. There is really quite something to see.
I'm very intrigued by it. I wonder how it'll look
in twenty years. Trying to pry a lot of significant players,
(16:53):
be the military players, economic players, just.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Guys with tons of money away from China. Just make
sure that they stay on our side of the divide.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You gotta do it. Minds me of the Cold War
a lot too.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There's a lot of news being made, lots of news
going on, and we'll try to bring you up to
speed on a whole bunch of it. And some of
it's gonna happen a while we're on the air today,
so we'll try to have updates while that goes. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
good stuff. Can't wait so fast and furious. If you
miss anything, you should get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I just thought it was really nice. It was beautiful,
and I knew it would be something that she'd like.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Has the pink and it has a little fireworks on it.
I noticed it right away. The tea is missing.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It just says, are unp It says, I'm very disappointed.
I wanted to be a special thing for her, and
we had expected that it would have the integrity of
the President of the United States and an apology would
be nice for making my wife cry Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Nice Tim Pettitive Rhode, I'm sorry. What's the guy's name,
It doesn't matter. Tim. He wanted to buy his wife
something nice. Here's the radio ad for the limited edition
pink inauguration first Lady model Trump watch. He buys it
for and it's not a Trump watch, Jack, I don't
know if you caught it. It's a Rump watch. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Is this poor quality control by the Trump people or
did he get ripped off, like like I could go
online right now and try to buy an Apple watch
and it turns out to be a fake. Oh no,
he ordered it through the official uh ok okay, So
it's poor quality control on the on the end of
the president. Yes, Michael six hundred dollars, by the way,
six hundred dollars and forty. Ye, you can buy a
(18:39):
nice Apple watch for six hundred and forty dollars. Yeah,
but the Pope was wearing an Apple watch the other day.
By the way, Apple was very excited about that. When
he got sworn in or whatever, he put his hand
up and showed his Apple watch. A Trump watch had
been pretty funny. Or if it said Rump watch Rump
they left the tee off. That's particularly bad. If you're
going to live off any of the letters, that's probably
the worst one.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This fella nice fella again, he loves his wife, God
bless him. Does not look like maybe the cleverest operator.
I think it's worth a hell of a lot more
as a Rump watch, probably just one of the however
many he Trump sold. Wow, how could you criticize him?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
The guy trying to get his wife a gift.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I buy my wife something really special. Oh see now anyway,
sorry about your own watch, sir. Speaking of Donald J.
He issued an executive order not long ago saying that,
as we mentioned briefly, we want to reinterpret the Fourteenth Amendment.
(19:42):
You want to he wants to exclude from birthright citizenship.
Baby's born in the US to parents here illegally or temporarily,
including on student or tourist visas. You got to have
a legal reason to be here on a permanent base,
so a semipro basis. You can't for your kid to
(20:02):
get automatic citizens You.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Can't just be a rich Chinese family that flies to
San Francisco and stays at a hotel towards the end
of your pregnancy to make sure your kid has American citizenship.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Right. Well, and what's especially funky about this? And it'll
be interesting to hear the arguments before the soups and
see what they have to say.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, the Kanji Jackson Brown will talk for forty five minutes,
and then the guys, we'll get to throw in a
word here and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
There after rolling their eyes a great deal as the newest,
most progressive justice attempts to fill a buster her way
into the history books or something. But anyway, there are
laws and regulations and such designed to discourage the birth
tourism because everybody knows it is contrary to the purposes
of the fourteenth Amendments. So the idea that there's no
(20:49):
interpreting this or it's clearly one or the other is
just not so. And the interesting part is there are
two questions. First, can President Trump de ice and ship
to the US born children of legal aliens? Can we
reinterpret the fourteenth Amendment, which we'll get into in a second.
Second question, though, and this one's super interesting. Can a
(21:09):
solitary federal judge in any quadrant of this big, beautiful
nation halt the government from sea to shining sea? As
the Wall Street Journal puts it, can they issue these
temporary injunctions just out of some you know, backwater and wherever?
And said, no, no, no, Or is that stopped this nationwide?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Or I took something from your tone of voice? Or
is that exactly the way the system should work? Legitimate question.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No is the answer, and only a fool would advocate
for that position. But guess that is a question before us.
So the Justice Department, Oh, a couple of judge panels
said no, no, no, you can't do that. It's meant
what it's meant for a long time now, and we're
not gonna mess with it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Here's a question while we're on this fourteenth Amendment partner,
I forget who posed this the other day, some university
or a newspaper anyway, The question was should the media
always attached to judges' names who appointed them? That has
(22:17):
become It didn't used to happen, and now it happens always.
Always a judge stepped in and ruled today the birthright
citizenship is not legal. The judge appointed by Barack Obama
or the judge appointed by Donald Trump, or you know,
that always happens now. I think it does this more
harm than good. Yeah, make sure I agree with you, But.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If it doesn't, if an article doesn't say it, I
wonder it. And if an article tells me the Reagan
or Bush or even Trump appointed judge ruled against the president,
I think, wow, that has extra weight, so he probably
wasn't the wrong. I do think that.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Two.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You got me there.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
If it's the opposite, if it's a Trump judge it
rules against Trump, it carries more weight for me than if.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was a Biden judge or Obama judge. Right, because
the difference in judicial philosophy among lefty judges who rule
for results and conservative judges who rule or at least
auto rule for what does the constitution say? No matter
whether I like the results or.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Not, Even though we have the examples of lots and
lots of justices famously ruling opposite of what they're A
pointer might have wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Sure over the either suitor who made an entire career
of shocking everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, John Roberts single handedly upheld Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right with his bizarro tax argument. Right. So back to
the straightforward question of whether illegal aliens are subject to Oh,
I'm sorry, So the amendment begins fourteenth Amendment, which was
ratified after the wretched dread Scott decision which said black
former slaves and their descendants were excluded from US citizenship. Okay,
(24:07):
the amendment begins All persons born or naturalized in the
United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
of the United States.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I should read more about the dread Scott decision, and
I probably did as a sophomore or something, but don't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
How the hell did we ever come to that conclusion.
Racism just flat out racism, I think, so, yeah, gotta
be yeah, although racism then had a different look than
racism now. I don't want to get off on that
tangent because books have been written about it, but it's
dangerous to apply presentism to that time because you misunderstand
what was happening. Anyway, the dispute as whether illegal aliens
(24:44):
are subject to US jurisdiction. You know, I have always
sympathized with the Trump view of this because it says
all persons born are naturalized in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof. But a long time interpretation suggests, yeah,
they ought to get birthright citizenship. According to a Supreme
(25:05):
Court case in eighteen ninety eight held in a man
born in San Francisco to alien parents was a citizen.
That fits the plane rating of the amendments text, is
there any is there.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Any wight dispute, but it's in any way to carve
out so you don't have vacation, you know, citizenship tourism,
because I don't think anybody thinks that's cool, do they.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I don't think so. No, And if they do, they're
a jackass. And I hope they don't vote. I would
like to see.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Surely that I call it up today in the arguments
right right, Yeah, it will, it absolutely will. And to
the extent that this is about immigration, it's got to
be within the bounds of lawful immigration, right Otherwise that is,
there are too many nefarious things that can happen and
have happened. No, if you can get across our poorest
(25:58):
border in Texas during the years and have your kid
born here, then that kid is a US citizen with
everything that comes with it, all the social welfare welfare
state that we have. And then of course, with the
way we do chin chain migration, you'd get to bring
in your extended family forever because you're a citizen here.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I got to believe that. If Abe Lincoln were here,
he'd tell us, don't go to that play.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's not very funny and people get shot. Good luck,
And he would all brighten here it's electric lighting, sir,
and he would he would say, if you explain this
to him, he'd say, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
This was about the slaves. This is about saying no,
if you're born here and live here, your kids are citizens.
Not if you come in for two days, what are you?
You out of her mad? And then he'd wrestle me
and then pin me to the ground.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And then I'd say to Lincoln, what about when Asian
parents fly their kid in so they can.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Who does what? You can't fool me? Soon no human
can fly, and you'd have to do a long explanation.
Uh correct. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So that'll arguments for today, and we'll have some of
that for you hopefully later in the show before we
get to Joe's mailbag. I just saw in and Out.
I think because we're going this direction RFK Junior's pushing
it this way. The restaurant In and Out says they're
going to do away with some of their food coloring.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
So get used to gray special sauce or you with
your standing up first red dye number three horrors, Why your.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Food will be the color it's supposed to be. It'll
be food colored. I think a lot of stuff. You're
going to be surprised at the color of it. I
think all your cereal would be gray, wouldn't it your
brightly colored cereal?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No, no, this is this is your dopious jib. I
will not pretend it's not the fruit loops all fake coloring,
isn't it? The red, the bright red, the bright green,
the bright yellow? Yeah? Yeah, But like as the Canadians
could tell you, uh fifty one, give them the fife
and the wanda of them. As the Canadians can tell you, know,
(28:04):
we just used like natural fruit based dyes. We wanted blue.
We use blueberry juice, not some horrendous chemical cranked out by.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Dow Let's see good for in and out. We have
some mor FK Junior stuff. He did some testifying too.
We've got mail bag on the way. What was the
other big one I talked about? Oh, how about uh
the diddy thing. He's looking more like like, uh, like
your Italian mob boss type people. The further this trial
(28:36):
goes along. Oh yeah, and the way she started dating
a new guy and he threatened to blow up the
dude's car, and then the dude's car blew up coincidence.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Among other things we can talk about. Stay here.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Trump in the Middle East on Air Force One asked
questions about Putin not showing up in Istanbul to meet
with Selenski.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Maybe we'll get to that in an hour two.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Alrighty, then here's your freedom loving quote of today from
the Great Patrick Henry, fabulous patriot.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is he I get him mixed up.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He's a liberty or death. Give me liberty or give
me death. I regret that I have but one life.
That's Nathan Hale.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Nathan Hale, Yeah, correct, Yes, name's worth remembering. I may
get this one tattooed upon my corpus. Yes, I love
it that much. What is your corpus? That's my body,
you know me. I like to throw around the Latin
now and again, being you know Latino. I've been looking
(29:38):
for the right patriotic tattoo and this one might be it.
Although there's gonna be a lot of grimacing here. It is.
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty suspect everyone who
approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force.
Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
(29:59):
That's pretty good. Maybe just guard with jealous attention the
public liberty suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Stay away
from a jewel? Right? I love that. Well done, Patrick,
Well done, Mailbag. Feel free to drop this note anytime
you want, mail Bag at Armstrong and getty dot com.
(30:19):
Maybe you want to register in an opinion, agree to disagree,
send along something we ought to be talking about. That's fine,
you know, keep it as short as you can. But oh,
and a number of folks, having heard that I am
going to venture to London later in the summer and
I'm so excited about it. I have suggested, Joe, dude,
you're into history. You've got to do this in this
and I really appreciate those tips. Feel free to, you know,
(30:40):
send those to mail bag A Armstrong in getty dot com.
Are you familiar with Bucking Palace? I have heard of it. Yes,
the fellows with the fuzzy ats. They have soccer there too.
Soccer I've heard that. Yeah, if that's soccer everywhere, let's see.
Here's a note from Dick in Pennsylvania. Jake Tapper's new
book and the income he gets from it reminds me
of a control worker who injects killer bees into a
(31:02):
homeowner's attic. The knocks on the door the next day
to see if they need any best control services.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Kind one pretty exciting revelation they leaked out yesterday as
part of their pre publicity.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You off to get to that next hour. Hadn't heard
this right, all right? Tom from SoCal Dear Jackie, Joe
recently went to Washington, DC on business. Had some extra time,
so I went to Lincoln Memorial the White House to
soak it all in. Very enjoyable. Uh oh, you know
that stupid idiotic eyes sore outside the White House. They're
talking about getting rid of that. If you've been there
in recent decades, you know what I'm talking about. More
(31:34):
on it. It's a pretty interesting story anyway, he says,
as much as I had my issues with Trump, it
felt good to know that the Biden circus was no
longer in town. One of the most positive changes I
noticed while waiting in the TSA line at the airport.
No longer do we have to see and hear waste
of skin? ALEJANDROI New yorkis drone on about homeland security
and the border being secure. Now we get the siren
(31:55):
song of impressive use of skin. Christinome God Bless America.
That is a pretty impressive use of skin. And then
Tom signs off with a variation on something Kanye said
the other day. Do we have that handy Michael? Wait now,
right now? You're not going to take inches off my
bro Oh yeah, but I don't think Yeah. And this
(32:16):
is this is It involves a popular English dessert with
a funny name to Americans. Yes, anyway, it's clever Tom,
but probably not arable. JT in Beautiful Livermore writes, I
think the criticism of Tappers burying the lead. I agree
with you, guys. Nobody in the media participating in the
(32:40):
cover up should be allowed to pretend to now have
inside information on the cover up. That said, I think
we're bearing the lead. It was the actual Democratic insiders,
including Jill Joe Hunter, the whole Biden crime family, in
every top level Democrat and leadership, and all their handlers
that put America's national security at risk by allowing a
failing mummy to remain in the White House and even
get a sniffet running for re election. And he goes
(33:01):
on and give some examples, the whole Saudi Arabia Variah thing,
strategic inflationary policies. That's a decent point.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
My outrage at Jake Tapper of CNN, for instance, for
trying to get away with what he's getting away with,
does obscure the biggest problem is, or certainly a very
big problem the people around the president that were they
were hiding the fact that the guy shouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
In charge of the country. That should be a big story. Yeah,
let me finish the note that I've got a response. America,
less than any country in the world, cannot function with
a puppet administration run by unelected bureaucrats. I wish we
could find and punish everybody who took part in that
conspiracy to cover up the truth. But the least we
can do is not get distracted by Jake Tapper's book. Well, yeah,
I would agree, although the media is an important part
(33:47):
of a functioning democracy and when they need a kick
and we got to kick them in. So here's the
response by folks in Jake Tapper's world, and I find
this at least half true. The Biden insiders kept his
dementia and his decline from everybody, including democratic leaders. They
(34:10):
lied to their own staffers about how sharp he was.
The inner circle lied to everyone, and therefore the Pelosis
and Schumers and company, they were late to realizing it
because of the cover up. My response to my response is,
I don't have any inside sources, and it was utterly
obvious to me that the guy couldn't conceivably run foreign
(34:32):
serve as president. Again, what are you a doctor? Right? Yeah,
let's see. On the Pete Rose story, JT writes it
was a lifetime ban. He isn't alive anymore, enough said,
good pss. You always point out it's a TV show.
Even players call it the show, so they're on solid ground.
If they block anybody they deemed to reflect poorly on
(34:53):
their TV show, then you got this Tom and Danville.
Peter Rows was such an a hole he should be
banned for lif life because he ruined Dray Fossey's career
during an All Star game. Wow, he crushed a catcher
during a meaningless exhibition game and ended his career. That's
going way back. It is rest in what's the opposite
(35:16):
of a piece? Anguish Pete Rose for what you did
to Fosse.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I had a pretty miserable rest of his life for
Pete Rose, so that's a good point. I retract that
that was mean of me and vicious. We got those updates.
I mentioned a bunch of good stuff for hour two.
I hope you get that.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
If you miss it, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Getty and he arms get.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
A brom studio scene signor hey, dimly lit.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Room deep within the fowls.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And today on a.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Thursday or under the tutelage of our general manager, bearded
rich guys wearing robes and riding camels. Bearded rich guys
wearing robes, Comma riding cameras correct.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Middle Eastern potent cool.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I just since I started with a cough, let me
just say, in case you don't know your new listener whatever,
I have whooping cough. So it's either don't work for
three months or come in in cough.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
So there you go. That's that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, you seem much better, just your general demeanor. I
think I definitely feel better. This is this is the
first day in a month where I haven't woken up
in the morning and thought there's no way I can
work today. There's just no way I can make this happen.
I don't even think that today, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
With apologies for the mild vicinity. It ought to be
called ass whooping cough when an adult has it, because
it's a tough son of a gun man. Update your vaccine.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Although we got a text from somebody who said they'd
been listening and said, I asked my doctor about you.
I update my vaccine and they said only if you can,
only if you like have these other corbidities, will they
give it to you or something? And I don't know, really,
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Funny, Yeah, yeah, I think I have any comorbidities. My
Dodd Dresden mentioned it to Looking at you, I can
see a couple well their points, but the doc thought
it especially because it includes the tetanus.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, the tea DApp that you get as a little kid. Yeah,
but it doesn't last forever. Apparently, I find out and
get the ass whooping COFs. And our next door news station,
the news of a lady there just told me that
they did a story of whooping cough because the cases
are up around here.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
They're up around riding places.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
They've doubled in twenty four twenty five from twenty four
and twenty four was double from twenty three. So it's
didn't like it, you know, again, don't get it would
be my recommendation.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Back to the bearded people.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So I was all excited about it being Thursday. Was
Putin gonna show in Istanbul? Where Zelenski was gonna show?
And were they going to meet face to face? And
then there were rumors for a couple of days that
maybe nobody ever thought Putin was gonna show, I guess.
But then there were rumors for a couple of days
that maybe Trump shows as.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
He's in the area.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And then you got you do the empty chair routine
where you got Trump and Zolensky in a meeting and
there's an empty chair where Putin's supposed to be, and
you give a big lecture about here, this man clearly
doesn't want peace because he did not show up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But Trump, Trump did not do that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
As Zolensky's there, Marco Rubio's there, some minor Russians are
there who Zlensky says he's not going to talk to.
And I don't blame him. And we'll see how this
plays on the on the national stage. But at least
so far, I mean, the only way this turns into
something is if Trump comes out forcefully and says, as
you can see, Putin doesn't want peace. He didn't show up.
(03:39):
I told him that they both should show up, and
he didn't show up. And I was watching News Nation
this morning, and the reporter on there said, Trump told
me just an hour ago that the reason he couldn't
solve this in one day like he thought is he
didn't realize how hard it would be to deal with
President Zolensky.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
That's what he told News Nation. So he's certainly not
trying to make it look like Putin was the odd
man out today. I'm completely mystified by that. A couple
of things. First of all, last night, Trump hinted again
that he would come to Turkey if Putin attended. But
he's not going to attend. And here's a question for you.
I love the empty chair ideas an illustration of that,
(04:19):
which is plainfully, painfully, plainly obvious. What's the need for that.
It's like it's another version of Jake Tapper's book. You know,
we don't need Donald Trump or anybody else writing a
book that says, turns out Putin doesn't want peace, he
wants conquest. Yeah, we know, right, Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know what happens at this point other than
I think Putin gets what he wants, which is to
continue to the war. He wants to continue the war,
you see, is the deal.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Trump held out the possibility of a breakthrough in spite
of all this. Of course, that's just Trump the salesman.
It's ridiculous. It's the he keep saying that, of course
we can come deal, will come to a big, beautiful deal.
It's just good negotiating. You keep everybody's optimism going so
you can work on him a little more.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And then so he spoke to the troops for over
an hour this morning there in Qatar, a base of
believe my brother's been stationed out before. And I said
a bunch of nice things about the troop, as he does,
and they cheered him like crazy because they like him.
And he also talked about coming up with some sort
of deal with Iran, and we're gonna strike a deal.
(05:31):
He wants Ran to be a glorious successful country. They
just can't have a nuclear weapon. But blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I have a feeling, hold on, hang on, everybody, stand by.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I have a feeling if Barack Obama had been saying
exactly the same things about Iran, he'd be getting killed
by the right for some sort of appeasing the country
that's been threatening to blow U up forever.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But I don't know. Yeah, again, the difference in style,
I think is important. I too saw the statements Trump
made about how we're very close to a deal, a big,
beautiful deal. We can either do it the nice way
and come to a deal, or you know, bring down
more violence than anybody's ever seen in their lives, which
is a pretty good contrast. The difference is when Barack
(06:12):
Obama signaled that he would make a weak deal with
the devil and let the devil have what it wanted,
he meant it with Trump again, it's that, oh wee can,
good day, Let's stay at the table, let's work down this.
We've got a deal withinside. Absolutely, I believe, for all
of his false Trump is willing to bring the thunder
(06:34):
if it doesn't come together. There's a huge gulf between
the two countries, so I think Trump is just striking
his standard super optimistic tone about negotiation.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Apparently, we presented Iran an offer on Sunday, that's the
breaking newsday.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We presented him an offer.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And then last night, as I was going to bed,
Iran accepted the offer on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't know what that means anything and the United States,
tweets do not necessarily imply acceptance of offers national treaties.
Right if you heart my offer, does that mean we've
got a treaty?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I retreated your offer. I thought we had a treaty. No,
retweets did not count as a treaty.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
They don't know. No, no, no, I'm about on an
interst You got to quote tweet it and say I
accept idiot. Two big things that are happening in WAH world.
What if you do an Instagram video in your car
talking to your phone. I just got an offer from
Iran and I am unbelievably pissed off. Let me tell
you why. Right camera pointed at your face in your
(07:34):
car parked. Hey guys, I just have to let you
know this deal from Iran is awful and wipe away
tears exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And looking around like you're just kind of bored with
what you're doing, which is a weird style that has
become popular.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes, it's popular, it's inevitable, it's omnipresent.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Two things that are happening wah War on the air today,
starting in like fifteen minutes Old Diddy's ex girlfriend is
going to get cross examined, and Katie Green's gonna watch
that and stay on it. How hard they're gonna come
at the pretty damn sympathetic eight month pregnant woman who's
told some pretty horrific stories. Who knows, but man, if
(08:19):
the Weinstein trials of like the last week have been anything,
they go to tear these people apart and make them cry.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, if I'm getting paid zillions of dollars and or
I'm the defendant and i may be in a cage
for the rest of my life, I'm like, yeah, go
ahead and hurt her feelings. Although they're going to portray it, but.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You were a jur you don't want to do it
to the point that it turns the jury against.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You, right, right, Although they're in a heck of a spot,
it could be that needle is unthreadable, but they have
to thread it to the side of undermining your testimony
and killing your credibility if they think her testimony has
been strong enough to really seal the deal or at
(09:05):
least come close to it. So that's that is a
tough nut to crack, he says, mixing several metaphors.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
She was so despondent, she testified yesterday. At one point
she tried to walk out into traffic to kill herself.
What good Lord think of the baby? So the defense
before she was pregnant. This was back when she was
just split up with Diddy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I thought she meant.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yesterday, No, no, no, no, sorry, good Lord, she testified yesterday.
Maybe my comma or something was in the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay, Uh so, what was I gonna say, oh about?
Oh yeah, they're going to try to portray her as
a woman scorned, angry ex with a pension of violence
herself pension four violence. Uh so, yeah, we'll see how
that goes.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
One of the most interesting details that came out yesterday,
So she sued him back in the day over all
this sort of stuff. I didn't realize that that had
already been settled, the money angle of it, And it
came out yesterday that they settled after one day for
twenty million dollars. She got twenty million dollars to shut
up and go away. Wow, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah. Well, although the announcement of that settlement brought a
bunch of other accusers out of the Woodwork, who said, yeah, okay,
it's safe to say what he does. Now I'm saying it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't need twenty million, but two would be cool
or something like that. Or I'd like to see his
cruel sick arse in jail. The other thing I'll mention
quickly that's happening is the Supreme Court hearing oral argument
on the whole birthright citizenship thing. And it's the hottest
case of the summer, with long lines outside the door
of people trying to get in and everything.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So we'll see what what that conversation was like, will
the nine rule bueno or no bueno?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I just saw a poll as an NPR poll, but
they had only a third of Americans want to do
away with birthright citizenship. I was surprised by that. I've missed.
There's one I missed. That's one where I thought America
was on the side of no, you shouldn't get to
be a citizen jail because they got.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Across the border and you were born here. But I
would like ten minutes to talk to America.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Actually I get four hours of day and say, all right,
let's talk about this seriously.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Friends. How about if somebody sneaks into the country utterly
without any legal authorization. They are a known agent to
the Chinese Communist Party and the only reason they seek
citizenship for their child is to use that child as
a mole for the evil Communist plots of today and tomorrow.
(11:34):
You want to give them a passport, and America would
say no, Joseph, we see the plane and compelling logic
of your argument, and they I would switch them up to.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Our Well, we can talk more about that later, and
I'm sure we'll be hearing something about the oral arguments.
We should start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Joe Getty. Unless it is Thursday, May fifteenth, the IDEs
of May. You're twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong and Getty,
and we approve of this program.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Then let's begin the show officially according the FCC rules
and regulations at mark.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I think some of the criticism is fair, to be
honest of me, certainly, I'm not going to speak for
anybody else, but knowing then what I know now, I
look back at my coverage during the Biden years, and
I did cover some of these issues, but not enough.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No not. I look back on it with humility. Oh really, got.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Jake Tapper showing some humility over missing the most obvious
story in America.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
There's a bright guy trying to figure out what to
do now that he and his book are a punchline
for it even hits the bookstore shelves.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
More on that later. So we got Katie's headlines. We've
got lots of stuff on the way, and our text
line is four one five two KFTC. I haven't watched
this video yet. Yes, it's three professors at Yale, some
of them somewhat well known if you follow the or
who are leaving the United States because of its slide
(12:58):
into authoritarianism. And their video is we study fascism and
we're leaving the United States.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They're going to go teach at the University of Toronto.
I guess hi. My one word response, like Katie says
bye anyway. Maybe more on that later.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Safe travels, lads, if you think of coming back, don't.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Hey, let's figure out who's reporting. What's speaking Katie. It's
the Leads story with Katie Green, Katie. What's happening? Starting
with ABC.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Trump says the Ukraine Russia peace meeting will not happen without.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Putin Wend and that was no effort to put any
pressure on Putin or make Putin seem like the obstacle
for being the one that didn't show up.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't know what Trump's hoping to get out of this.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
From the New York Post, Rhode Island capital to hoist
Palestinian flag at city Hall citing diversity.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
What. There's an article, an editorial in the Wall Street
Journal about how we're moving into the post progressive world,
post progressive US. Yeah. I wouldn't lay down your arms
quite yet. There is still absolute madness among a significant
portion of the population that's been steeped in this stuff
(14:15):
since they were kids. This battle is far from over.
And Jackie, you guys touched on this a bit.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
But USA today, Cassie Ventura reveals how much did he
paid to settle her twenty twenty three lawsuit. And the
reason I'm bringing this back up is one of the
huge deals with this is that one of the main
things sided in that lawsuit with sex trafficking.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Oh interesting, Yeah, so that's why they're bringing it up.
So he got sued for.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Sex trafficking Cassie back in twenty twenty three and paid
her out.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Okay, So yeah, de facto confession kindness sort of.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, and she's going to be cross examined today.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
From Reuters.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Rogue communication devices found in Chinese made solar power panels.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Whack, they're listening to me through my solar panels.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Why. It's as if the Chinese communist parties dishonest and
bent on our destruction.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Now, come on China. From Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Colorado murder rate dives after Ice deports Trendy or Ragua
gang bangers. Coincidence homicides in Denver down fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Percent and Aurora thirty six percent. Yeah, it's early days.
As we're highlighting the other day. Colorado's become a progressive
this in the last several years. So hope they get
straightened out.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
How about you put down the ball and breathe in
some reality Colorado?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
From page six, Chris Brown arrested for smashing tequila bottle
over music producer's head at nightclub.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I can only follow one violent hip hop star at
a time. I'm on to Sean Diddy Combs now, I'll
get to Chris Brown later.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Apologies.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Study finds AI tool predicts cancer survival odds by simply
analyzing a photo of the patient's face.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What you'll look like? You're okay? You looks so good?
What I thought, Oh you look a little rough. Sure.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And finally from the Babylon b Trump and Saudi King
Prince enjoy romantic evening, magic carpet ride for two.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Hey, the restructuring of the US relationship with a number
of the emirates. There is really quite something to see.
I'm very intrigued by it. I wonder how it'll look
in twenty years. Trying to pry a lot of significant players,
(16:53):
be the military players, economic players, just.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Guys with tons of money away from China. Just make
sure that they stay on our side of the divide.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You gotta do it. Minds me of the Cold War
a lot too.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There's a lot of news being made, lots of news
going on, and we'll try to bring you up to
speed on a whole bunch of it. And some of
it's gonna happen a while we're on the air today,
so we'll try to have updates while that goes. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
good stuff. Can't wait so fast and furious. If you
miss anything, you should get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I just thought it was really nice. It was beautiful,
and I knew it would be something that she'd like.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Has the pink and it has a little fireworks on it.
I noticed it right away. The tea is missing.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It just says, are unp It says, I'm very disappointed.
I wanted to be a special thing for her, and
we had expected that it would have the integrity of
the President of the United States and an apology would
be nice for making my wife cry Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Nice Tim Pettitive Rhode, I'm sorry. What's the guy's name,
It doesn't matter. Tim. He wanted to buy his wife
something nice. Here's the radio ad for the limited edition
pink inauguration first Lady model Trump watch. He buys it
for and it's not a Trump watch, Jack, I don't
know if you caught it. It's a Rump watch. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Is this poor quality control by the Trump people or
did he get ripped off, like like I could go
online right now and try to buy an Apple watch
and it turns out to be a fake. Oh no,
he ordered it through the official uh ok okay, So
it's poor quality control on the on the end of
the president. Yes, Michael six hundred dollars, by the way,
six hundred dollars and forty. Ye, you can buy a
(18:39):
nice Apple watch for six hundred and forty dollars. Yeah,
but the Pope was wearing an Apple watch the other day.
By the way, Apple was very excited about that. When
he got sworn in or whatever, he put his hand
up and showed his Apple watch. A Trump watch had
been pretty funny. Or if it said Rump watch Rump
they left the tee off. That's particularly bad. If you're
going to live off any of the letters, that's probably
the worst one.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This fella nice fella again, he loves his wife, God
bless him. Does not look like maybe the cleverest operator.
I think it's worth a hell of a lot more
as a Rump watch, probably just one of the however
many he Trump sold. Wow, how could you criticize him?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
The guy trying to get his wife a gift.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I buy my wife something really special. Oh see now anyway,
sorry about your own watch, sir. Speaking of Donald J.
He issued an executive order not long ago saying that,
as we mentioned briefly, we want to reinterpret the Fourteenth Amendment.
(19:42):
You want to he wants to exclude from birthright citizenship.
Baby's born in the US to parents here illegally or temporarily,
including on student or tourist visas. You got to have
a legal reason to be here on a permanent base,
so a semipro basis. You can't for your kid to
(20:02):
get automatic citizens You.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Can't just be a rich Chinese family that flies to
San Francisco and stays at a hotel towards the end
of your pregnancy to make sure your kid has American citizenship.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Right. Well, and what's especially funky about this? And it'll
be interesting to hear the arguments before the soups and
see what they have to say.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, the Kanji Jackson Brown will talk for forty five minutes,
and then the guys, we'll get to throw in a
word here and.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
There after rolling their eyes a great deal as the newest,
most progressive justice attempts to fill a buster her way
into the history books or something. But anyway, there are
laws and regulations and such designed to discourage the birth
tourism because everybody knows it is contrary to the purposes
of the fourteenth Amendments. So the idea that there's no
(20:49):
interpreting this or it's clearly one or the other is
just not so. And the interesting part is there are
two questions. First, can President Trump de ice and ship
to the US born children of legal aliens? Can we
reinterpret the fourteenth Amendment, which we'll get into in a second.
Second question, though, and this one's super interesting. Can a
(21:09):
solitary federal judge in any quadrant of this big, beautiful
nation halt the government from sea to shining sea? As
the Wall Street Journal puts it, can they issue these
temporary injunctions just out of some you know, backwater and wherever?
And said, no, no, no, Or is that stopped this nationwide?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Or I took something from your tone of voice? Or
is that exactly the way the system should work? Legitimate question.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No is the answer, and only a fool would advocate
for that position. But guess that is a question before us.
So the Justice Department, Oh, a couple of judge panels
said no, no, no, you can't do that. It's meant
what it's meant for a long time now, and we're
not gonna mess with it.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Here's a question while we're on this fourteenth Amendment partner,
I forget who posed this the other day, some university
or a newspaper anyway, The question was should the media
always attached to judges' names who appointed them? That has
(22:17):
become It didn't used to happen, and now it happens always.
Always a judge stepped in and ruled today the birthright
citizenship is not legal. The judge appointed by Barack Obama
or the judge appointed by Donald Trump, or you know,
that always happens now. I think it does this more
harm than good. Yeah, make sure I agree with you, But.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If it doesn't, if an article doesn't say it, I
wonder it. And if an article tells me the Reagan
or Bush or even Trump appointed judge ruled against the president,
I think, wow, that has extra weight, so he probably
wasn't the wrong. I do think that.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Two.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You got me there.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
If it's the opposite, if it's a Trump judge it
rules against Trump, it carries more weight for me than if.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was a Biden judge or Obama judge. Right, because
the difference in judicial philosophy among lefty judges who rule
for results and conservative judges who rule or at least
auto rule for what does the constitution say? No matter
whether I like the results or.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Not, Even though we have the examples of lots and
lots of justices famously ruling opposite of what they're A
pointer might have wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Sure over the either suitor who made an entire career
of shocking everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, John Roberts single handedly upheld Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right with his bizarro tax argument. Right. So back to
the straightforward question of whether illegal aliens are subject to Oh,
I'm sorry, So the amendment begins fourteenth Amendment, which was
ratified after the wretched dread Scott decision which said black
former slaves and their descendants were excluded from US citizenship. Okay,
(24:07):
the amendment begins All persons born or naturalized in the
United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
of the United States.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I should read more about the dread Scott decision, and
I probably did as a sophomore or something, but don't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
How the hell did we ever come to that conclusion.
Racism just flat out racism, I think, so, yeah, gotta
be yeah, although racism then had a different look than
racism now. I don't want to get off on that
tangent because books have been written about it, but it's
dangerous to apply presentism to that time because you misunderstand
what was happening. Anyway, the dispute as whether illegal aliens
(24:44):
are subject to US jurisdiction. You know, I have always
sympathized with the Trump view of this because it says
all persons born are naturalized in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof. But a long time interpretation suggests, yeah,
they ought to get birthright citizenship. According to a Supreme
(25:05):
Court case in eighteen ninety eight held in a man
born in San Francisco to alien parents was a citizen.
That fits the plane rating of the amendments text, is
there any is there.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Any wight dispute, but it's in any way to carve
out so you don't have vacation, you know, citizenship tourism,
because I don't think anybody thinks that's cool, do they.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I don't think so. No, And if they do, they're
a jackass. And I hope they don't vote. I would
like to see.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Surely that I call it up today in the arguments
right right, Yeah, it will, it absolutely will. And to
the extent that this is about immigration, it's got to
be within the bounds of lawful immigration, right Otherwise that is,
there are too many nefarious things that can happen and
have happened. No, if you can get across our poorest
(25:58):
border in Texas during the years and have your kid
born here, then that kid is a US citizen with
everything that comes with it, all the social welfare welfare
state that we have. And then of course, with the
way we do chin chain migration, you'd get to bring
in your extended family forever because you're a citizen here.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, I got to believe that. If Abe Lincoln were here,
he'd tell us, don't go to that play.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's not very funny and people get shot. Good luck,
And he would all brighten here it's electric lighting, sir,
and he would he would say, if you explain this
to him, he'd say, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
This was about the slaves. This is about saying no,
if you're born here and live here, your kids are citizens.
Not if you come in for two days, what are you?
You out of her mad? And then he'd wrestle me
and then pin me to the ground.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And then I'd say to Lincoln, what about when Asian
parents fly their kid in so they can.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Who does what? You can't fool me? Soon no human
can fly, and you'd have to do a long explanation.
Uh correct. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So that'll arguments for today, and we'll have some of
that for you hopefully later in the show before we
get to Joe's mailbag. I just saw in and Out.
I think because we're going this direction RFK Junior's pushing
it this way. The restaurant In and Out says they're
going to do away with some of their food coloring.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
So get used to gray special sauce or you with
your standing up first red dye number three horrors, Why your.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Food will be the color it's supposed to be. It'll
be food colored. I think a lot of stuff. You're
going to be surprised at the color of it. I
think all your cereal would be gray, wouldn't it your
brightly colored cereal?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No, no, this is this is your dopious jib. I
will not pretend it's not the fruit loops all fake coloring,
isn't it? The red, the bright red, the bright green,
the bright yellow? Yeah? Yeah, But like as the Canadians
could tell you, uh fifty one, give them the fife
and the wanda of them. As the Canadians can tell you, know,
(28:04):
we just used like natural fruit based dyes. We wanted blue.
We use blueberry juice, not some horrendous chemical cranked out by.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Dow Let's see good for in and out. We have
some mor FK Junior stuff. He did some testifying too.
We've got mail bag on the way. What was the
other big one I talked about? Oh, how about uh
the diddy thing. He's looking more like like, uh, like
your Italian mob boss type people. The further this trial
(28:36):
goes along. Oh yeah, and the way she started dating
a new guy and he threatened to blow up the
dude's car, and then the dude's car blew up coincidence.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Among other things we can talk about. Stay here.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Trump in the Middle East on Air Force One asked
questions about Putin not showing up in Istanbul to meet
with Selenski.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Maybe we'll get to that in an hour two.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Alrighty, then here's your freedom loving quote of today from
the Great Patrick Henry, fabulous patriot.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Is he I get him mixed up.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He's a liberty or death. Give me liberty or give
me death. I regret that I have but one life.
That's Nathan Hale.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Nathan Hale, Yeah, correct, Yes, name's worth remembering. I may
get this one tattooed upon my corpus. Yes, I love
it that much. What is your corpus? That's my body,
you know me. I like to throw around the Latin
now and again, being you know Latino. I've been looking
(29:38):
for the right patriotic tattoo and this one might be it.
Although there's gonna be a lot of grimacing here. It is.
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty suspect everyone who
approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force.
Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
(29:59):
That's pretty good. Maybe just guard with jealous attention the
public liberty suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Stay away
from a jewel? Right? I love that. Well done, Patrick,
Well done, Mailbag. Feel free to drop this note anytime
you want, mail Bag at Armstrong and getty dot com.
(30:19):
Maybe you want to register in an opinion, agree to disagree,
send along something we ought to be talking about. That's fine,
you know, keep it as short as you can. But oh,
and a number of folks, having heard that I am
going to venture to London later in the summer and
I'm so excited about it. I have suggested, Joe, dude,
you're into history. You've got to do this in this
and I really appreciate those tips. Feel free to, you know,
(30:40):
send those to mail bag A Armstrong in getty dot com.
Are you familiar with Bucking Palace? I have heard of it. Yes,
the fellows with the fuzzy ats. They have soccer there too.
Soccer I've heard that. Yeah, if that's soccer everywhere, let's see.
Here's a note from Dick in Pennsylvania. Jake Tapper's new
book and the income he gets from it reminds me
of a control worker who injects killer bees into a
(31:02):
homeowner's attic. The knocks on the door the next day
to see if they need any best control services.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Kind one pretty exciting revelation they leaked out yesterday as
part of their pre publicity.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You off to get to that next hour. Hadn't heard
this right, all right? Tom from SoCal Dear Jackie, Joe
recently went to Washington, DC on business. Had some extra time,
so I went to Lincoln Memorial the White House to
soak it all in. Very enjoyable. Uh oh, you know
that stupid idiotic eyes sore outside the White House. They're
talking about getting rid of that. If you've been there
in recent decades, you know what I'm talking about. More
(31:34):
on it. It's a pretty interesting story anyway, he says,
as much as I had my issues with Trump, it
felt good to know that the Biden circus was no
longer in town. One of the most positive changes I
noticed while waiting in the TSA line at the airport.
No longer do we have to see and hear waste
of skin? ALEJANDROI New yorkis drone on about homeland security
and the border being secure. Now we get the siren
(31:55):
song of impressive use of skin. Christinome God Bless America.
That is a pretty impressive use of skin. And then
Tom signs off with a variation on something Kanye said
the other day. Do we have that handy Michael? Wait now,
right now? You're not going to take inches off my
bro Oh yeah, but I don't think Yeah. And this
(32:16):
is this is It involves a popular English dessert with
a funny name to Americans. Yes, anyway, it's clever Tom,
but probably not arable. JT in Beautiful Livermore writes, I
think the criticism of Tappers burying the lead. I agree
with you, guys. Nobody in the media participating in the
(32:40):
cover up should be allowed to pretend to now have
inside information on the cover up. That said, I think
we're bearing the lead. It was the actual Democratic insiders,
including Jill Joe Hunter, the whole Biden crime family, in
every top level Democrat and leadership, and all their handlers
that put America's national security at risk by allowing a
failing mummy to remain in the White House and even
get a sniffet running for re election. And he goes
(33:01):
on and give some examples, the whole Saudi Arabia Variah thing,
strategic inflationary policies. That's a decent point.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
My outrage at Jake Tapper of CNN, for instance, for
trying to get away with what he's getting away with,
does obscure the biggest problem is, or certainly a very
big problem the people around the president that were they
were hiding the fact that the guy shouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
In charge of the country. That should be a big story. Yeah,
let me finish the note that I've got a response. America,
less than any country in the world, cannot function with
a puppet administration run by unelected bureaucrats. I wish we
could find and punish everybody who took part in that
conspiracy to cover up the truth. But the least we
can do is not get distracted by Jake Tapper's book. Well, yeah,
I would agree, although the media is an important part
(33:47):
of a functioning democracy and when they need a kick
and we got to kick them in. So here's the
response by folks in Jake Tapper's world, and I find
this at least half true. The Biden insiders kept his
dementia and his decline from everybody, including democratic leaders. They
(34:10):
lied to their own staffers about how sharp he was.
The inner circle lied to everyone, and therefore the Pelosis
and Schumers and company, they were late to realizing it
because of the cover up. My response to my response is,
I don't have any inside sources, and it was utterly
obvious to me that the guy couldn't conceivably run foreign
(34:32):
serve as president. Again, what are you a doctor? Right? Yeah,
let's see. On the Pete Rose story, JT writes it
was a lifetime ban. He isn't alive anymore, enough said,
good pss. You always point out it's a TV show.
Even players call it the show, so they're on solid ground.
If they block anybody they deemed to reflect poorly on
(34:53):
their TV show, then you got this Tom and Danville.
Peter Rows was such an a hole he should be
banned for lif life because he ruined Dray Fossey's career
during an All Star game. Wow, he crushed a catcher
during a meaningless exhibition game and ended his career. That's
going way back. It is rest in what's the opposite
(35:16):
of a piece? Anguish Pete Rose for what you did
to Fosse.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I had a pretty miserable rest of his life for
Pete Rose, so that's a good point. I retract that
that was mean of me and vicious. We got those updates.
I mentioned a bunch of good stuff for hour two.
I hope you get that.
