Speaker 1 (00:08):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and Key Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Why from Studio C see sayor it is a dimly
lit room deep put them the bowels of the Armstrong
and getting communications compound the bowels, I tell you. And
today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Bombs, yink, no bombs Psike, Fike.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
This is the worst thing Joe Biden's ever done. It's
up there, absolutely the worst thing Joe Biden has ever done.
But this could he could be known throughout history for
this alone, depending on how things go.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But we'll see how y'all doing. It's a little Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
The weekend is like who stared us in the face? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Could he?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You can smell the weekend from here? Is that what
I smell? I can't tell. COVID ruined my sense of smells.
It's hard for me to know. Yeah, I just had
a fabulous lunch with another friend who has a similar
fate from COVID. What's that? This smell is completely messed up?
He can smell a little, but man, it was breaking
my heart. He said, like when the winter turns to
(01:39):
spring and the grass's growth, the new and mowan lawn
and stuff, he can barely smell it. Now, I didn't
lose my smell, It just changed things. So like all
kinds of like a bad smell is just like makes
me want to throw up, and then lots of just
okay smells are now horrible. The idea of a upper
(02:00):
respiratory infection that also crawls into your brain and screws
you're RFK junior, right, come on, wuhan install some filters
in your lab or something. Sorry, I just saw another
mention of Anthony Fauci and Peter Dazak and blah blah blah.
(02:20):
The fact that those guys have not been called to
account is never mind. People's sense now overwhelmed me. People's
sense scent, their scent, Yeah, just overwhelms me. Like they're
just like if they're wearing perfume or just the the
scent of a person. Yeah, well yeah, they're scent. If
(02:41):
there's like the slightest well I don't even know if
it's good or bad because I think my brainschack. I
can't stand my own scent I've tried. I've tried every
kind of anti perse print there is or whatever. It
doesn't matter how showered I am or whatever it is.
I just I feel like I smell terrible to me, wow,
and other people smell terror to me.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now you just walk by me, you smell fine.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It took me, which you know, it took me a
while to catch on by kids, because I do have
teenage boys who can smell. It's not as bad as
I think it is. So I was constantly like, you
smell like a horse. When's the last time he showered.
It took me a while after the COVID to figure
out it's a lot of it's me. So I got
to lighten up on that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Smells like a Mumbai subway car in here.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So all the time I'm around people, I think, jeez,
you smell horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But I think put on some extra old spice or obsession.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I have said, no, you can't throws together obsessions like
one hundred dollars a bottle, a great product that women
find romantic. Old spice is a completely different thing. It's
like ten dollars a gallon and you throw it on
to sleep at the bus stop. Yes, Katie.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wow, impressive aftershave knowledge there, Yes, old knowledge.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Old spice takes me back to the horrible days of
just getting blasted with that smell when you're walking down
the hall in high school.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, yeah, I xpactly high that's what your vice principal wore.
If you don't know, old spike smells like that was
what your vice principal was wearing.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But so I have a question, did anybody ever like say, hey, Jackie,
smell at some point in your life, because someone did
that to my husband and he.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Is convinced he smells bad all the time and he doesn't. Wow,
that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, I've never had anybody say that to me, but
it would stick with you.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Forever, lodged in his psyche his formative years.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm guessing yeah, back back in the day and we're
talking like a couple showers a day and always checking himself.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, what he needs counseling. I'll pay for thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll take that. My brother has that like to the
level of OCD for different reasons. When he was in
Iraq in the war, he went thirty days without a
shower in the one hundred and twenty degree heat. Wow,
and I think in the same clothes that whole time,
thirty days.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And so now he changes jeans like five times a day. Really, yeah,
how interesting? Is obsessed with being clean because of that
experience and that interesting?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I don't know if he still does that. So he
told me one time. I don't think I have anything
like that, other than at one point when I was
a kid, I asked my mom, what would happen if
And I can't imagine why I asked this. It must
have been something that happened the water service got cut
out or something momentarily, And I said, what would happen
if you were like soaping yourself in the shower and
(05:18):
it turned off the water turned off so you couldn't rinse.
And she told me, well, probably irritate your skin and all.
And that was probably at a similar age as we're
talking about, not your brother's experience, and and so I've
always had this like weird fear that the water's going
to go off, the soap's going to be on my skin,
it's going to hurt my skin, and and it wouldn't.
(05:40):
I wouldn't even remember it except in that award winning
drama of the eighties was it ten soldiers or somebody?
Timothy Hutton the it was about the military academy. Kids
took over the academy and like grabbed the guns out
of the armory for some reason.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I can't remember. It's pretty compelling at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And they had a scene where several of the kids
were showering up and they turned off the water as
part of the the effort to flush him out.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And I was like, oh, no, no, there it is there.
It is the worst scenario. Somebody.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's interesting. So something that I assume has never happened
in your life, and it's very unlikely to happen, and
even if it did, it'd be of no consequence. I
just take the towel and wipe it off. It's not
a particularly horrific outcome if the raredy occurs.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, not really, not really.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Uh. And Gladys nice job playing the harp. Gladys has
that unique smell that old women have, and I don't
know what that smell is.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't think it's a special perfumer. It's lavender perfume.
Ben Gay, we should mixed with Ben Gay.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We should start the show Officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, May ninth, year,
twenty twenty four. Life will not be a boor in
twenty four or Armstrong you getting we approve of this program.
Let's begin that officially according to FCC rules and regulations,
here we are leaping into action.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
At mark.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Reality of this is this is like the congressional version
of a temper tantrum. Most of us, by the time
we turned twelve years old, figure out the tantrums don't
actually work.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And apparently not everybody in Congress has got the memo.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That is a shot.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So that's old Marjorie Taylor Green who went up to
the microphone yesterday. Did she think she was going to
get support, But she was going to try to bring
down the Speaker of the House as that as she
and her ILK have done before. And everybody booed, and
she got shut down pretty hard by both parties. Yeah,
and even Trump truthed out to her. Now is not
(07:34):
the time, Marge.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know, as long as we're discussing it, hit us
with three with thirty three that is really funny and
very Trumpian. Thirty three.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Marjorie Taylor Green basically said that Mike Johnson was unfit
to be a speaker.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She criticized him over FIZA. She criticized it to be
a Chad program. It's the MTG tape her talking. Is
that not thirty three?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
How is this happened? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Here, I have a disaster, whereas excuses like this is
just how you have to govern and divided government are pathetic,
weak and unacceptable even with our razor thin Republican majority
at least.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Less enough, Marge, Now is not the time, Marge Trump said,
woman's got a voice like a.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Motor boat, and everyone knows it, you know what.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I What I don't understand is how they kind of
got away with her and Gates with acting like Kevin
McCarthy was siding with Democrats too often, and she's she
Her claim is that Johnson sided with Democrats too often
when to boot them out, you need the Democrats to
join you. That is the whole thing, unless you got
(08:47):
everything unless but you're never going to No, it was
the Democrats that allowed them to boot McCarthy. But I
don't Yeah, so I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I think this might actually be a useful little exercise,
and we don't get deep into Beltway wankery because most
of it doesn't matter. It's just at Washington gossip.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But the dysfunction of the Congress because of grandstanders who
make a living claiming that we kind of have a
whole wolf. We could have everything we want if only
people were dedicated to not rhinos.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's just not the way where it's not the way
it's ever.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Especially if you're in the minority. You can be as
loud as you want and every tweet is all caps,
but if you're not in the majority, you can't get over.
Or if you have a one vote majority in the
House but you lack the White House and the Senat,
yeah you can. You can all cap it all you
want on Instagram. It's not gonna help. Yeah, you gotta
(09:43):
win elections and then have a big enough of majority
and enough majorities to win anyway that's been lost. You're right,
Maybe we had to go through this exercise and it'll
stick around for a while people remember, oh, yeah, that
doesn't really accomplish anything. Although I guarantee you Marjorie Taylor
Green raised a ton of money. Will she may be
in Congress the rest her life in her district, so
you know this is a principle. I want to I
(10:04):
want to hone this because I use a golf metaphor
for it, but people who don't play golf.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Wouldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I've characterized it as you're not playing very well and
then you make a swing so bad you realize, oh,
that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But there's got to be a better metaphor for it.
The more people can relate to. I don't don't. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Maybe you hit that weight on the scale that you say,
oh my god, I got to live differently, or it's
something I don't know, it's a hitting bottom moment. Maybe
it's a little light. Because I had this the other day,
I had so I was recording Henry was recording his
video for school, and so I had my laptop open
with the camera on, which I never have on facing
(10:48):
dis direction. And so he was done and everything like that,
and I was getting dressed and I walked by the
camera thought, who's that fat guy? I mean, I actually
kind of thought that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It was me. Oh lord, I.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Saw myself from an angle away. I don't ever see myself.
I was like, wow, wow. I almost had to sit
down for a while. And uh, maybe that's what's going on.
Now we're gonna be able to take a look at
ourselves from an angle, you know, see ourselves as other
people see us. Maybe that's what's going Oh please, no,
it's so weird when you see yourself from a different angle. Yeah,
(11:18):
and it takes a while to register it to you.
Oh that's interesting. That's what I look like. That's not
how I was picturing myself looking like.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
H again, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh okay, oh we got we started the show. How
does mailbag look?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh it's fine, cool.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah. And Joe Biden holding up the bombs for Israel
I think is just really really outrageous. We're gonna talk
to Mikelines about that. What that means militarily, it's all political,
I think. I don't think he's doing this because he
thinks it's the best strategy or whatever. But anyway, more
on that later. Yeah. Yeah, I have kind of a
multi layered point of view on this. I can't wait
(11:57):
to hear it. It's all on the way. What's your
point of view? Text line four one two nine KFTC.
I wonder if the West, for better or worse, has
just lost the capacity to identify an enemy and eliminate
(12:17):
it and just decide you're my enemy. I'm going to
destroy you. We just don't do that anymore. It's just
not a good look. It's not a good look. It
doesn't look good because you can see it. You didn't
used to be able to see it, right, you can
see it. Yeah, harrowing reports would issue forth from the
war zone, but you didn't see it. It reminds me
(12:38):
of this just so so strange phenomenon we're all familiar with.
You can read one hundred reports that an NFL running
back beat down his wife in an elevator.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
People are like, wow, if that has it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
One can be can be eye witnesses and everything. Then
everybody kind of goes about their business. Then a video
emerges and people are like, she's got to be banned.
If you see it, you believe it. That's the way
human beings are made. Here's your freedom loving quota the Day,
sent along by Tom and Sokow Albert Einstein. The world
(13:14):
will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but
by those who watch them without doing anything. It's commonly
expressed sentiment mailbag Philip, like this Babylon b headline sent
it along breaking Hamas offers to release zero hostages in
exchange for all Jews being wiped from the face of
(13:35):
the earth.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's about like their recent offers.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't get off of this topic, but the mention
of Hamas. How about Joe Biden and that interview he
sat down for yesterday, how about just say awful things
about Hamas. Ever, ever, how about you warn Hamas if
you're even if I agree with you and withholding the
bombs and all your warnings to Israel and your red lines,
you have any red line for Hamas or even say
(14:02):
and part of the reason the civilians are at such
risk is because Hamas uses human shields. Didn't even work
that in are there any red lines for Hamas? You
haven't mentioned them?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All Right, We'll move on, guys. The de people are
good at their job.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I worked as a teacher in an affluent Bay Area school.
Rights anonymous, one of the recent high priests Awoke, retired
a few years ago. Looking through some budget stuff, I
found that he's getting twenty five grand on an ongoing
yearly expense. It certainly seems to be for his works
as an instructor in what our district is calling e
(14:39):
Equity University. This is a nineteen hour course that's taught
by this retired teacher. He has the assistance of the
company we paid to consult our DEI Initiatives. Even if
this teacher takes thirty one hours of prep time, giving
us a nice out round number of fifty man hours,
that's still five hundred dollars an hour to indoctrinate us
in DEI. Quick Google search you'll f a cardiac surgeon
(15:01):
in California makes about one hundred and sixty seven dollars
an hour, not five hundred. I hate it, but this
man is a genius. Al That is one way to
look at it. That is some Speaking of the wook
stuff in school, the mentally deranged so called transgender boy
(15:22):
who beat down a girl on video getting a lot
of attention. I have a strong feeling that if this
happened in my son's high school, a mirror six to
ten years ago, there would have been another beat down.
I have sympathy for the father of this young high
school girl that got beaten down by a dude.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They were letting.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Troubled men into the girl's bathrooms in the name of
equity and non transphobia. We'll have to weigh the consequences
on whether to take physical action leading to rest or
hope for the justice system to correct. I don't want
to come off as a tough guy, but I'm pretty
sure my wife and kids would understand if I had
to go away for a while. KLDBDGA FOB keep letting
(16:01):
dudes beat down girls and find out beashes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Ooh, that's strong stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, well, I'd be so mad, like you couldn't restrain
me mad.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, there would.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
If one of my daughters had been beaten down by
a troubled young man who was let into their toilets
by SICKO administrators because that troubled person said yeah, I'm transgender,
there would have been militancy.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'll just put it like that. Moving along, we don't
really have time for that. That's more outrage. Oh, we'll
just say.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Aleen Anonymous his daughter participated in the anti Israel protests
at USC. She claimed up and down, it's not pro Hamas,
it's pro Palestinian. I told her if she gets arrested,
she'll be killed by her father or myself. It's funny
because they structured the whole thing like a Marxist camp
with Communist policies, and it completely fell apart.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It was a disorganized mess.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
She finally stepped away and disc discussed good learning experience
and to study for her finals.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So Stormy Daniels is back on the stand, taking on
two dudes at once, the lawyer's cross examining her. Oh
and on CNN it says the defense has changed their
strategy for questioning her.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know that story. We'll have a look into that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Exciting and we have a retired judge to comment on
the Monkey Court Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of
those bombs and other ways in which they go after
population centers. I made it clear that if they go
into Raffa, they haven't gone on Raffa yet. If they
go in to Raffa, I'm not supplying the weapons that
have been used historically to deal with Raffa, to deal
(17:51):
with the cities, to deal with that problem.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So Joe Biden canceling the shipment of big giant bombs
that he had approved and argued for, and when the
Republicans were holding it up as leverage for this or
that or we couldn't get this legislation passed. He was
really cheerleading, this stuff has got to pass, and then
it passed. And now he's holding up the big bombs
because Israel was gonna do the only thing anybody ever
(18:17):
thought they were going to do, which was eliminate Homas.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't even know where to begin.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He went on to say, I made it clear to
BB in the War Cabinet, They're not going to get
our support if in fact they go on these population centers,
meaning we have given one percent assurance to Hamas that
they will not be attacked as long as they hide
in population set. So he did an interview with CNN yesterday,
and this is where this conversation comes from. But I
(18:46):
watched the whole damn thing, and it's red line after warning,
after disparaging comment about Israel and nothing about Hamas. At
no point are there red lines for Hamas or does
he point out, as Joe said a little bit ago,
that the reason Hamadi, even even if I was gonna
disagree with him, he ought to make the argument that
(19:09):
it's outrageous that Hamas has driven the people of Gaza
into one city to use them as human shields right,
But I don't believe that it's the right way to
handle it for Israel to go in or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
But he doesn't say that at all.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's embarrassing, it is, it's mortifying. Yeah, we need to
get more of that interview from CNN guys, when you
get a chance.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But how does so ian?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And again I mentioned I said a little bit ago.
It has the West lost its capacity to define an
enemy and then just destroy them, regardless of college kids
or world opinion. You just win a war.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
What a great court.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We lost the ability to do that. In Bremer tweeted
out Israel's move into Rafa is escalatory, but don't lose
hope of a temporary cease fire. It's escalatory, that's the point, exactly,
escalating it until victory.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And that's been everything. Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
We don't want to give Ukraine these tools because it
would be escalatory. We don't want to do this against
Irana would be escalatory. The other side gets to escalate, escalate,
but you're never supposed to match them or go far.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Enough to beat them to win. So it's over. It is.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I don't understand. It's a denial at its root. It
is denial that war is ever necessary. And I know
there are utopians and piece nicks among you who believe
that to be true. And it's a beautiful sentiment. It's
never proven out in history. The problem being it's like
disarming cops but allowing the bad guys to have guns.
(20:47):
Then you got arm the cops, and if the bad
guys shoot at the cops, the cops have to shoot back.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And kill them. They've got to, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I used the example of the gunfight at the OK
Corral because my son and I watched Tombstone, which is.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
A fabulous movie.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The Tombstone was the nineties version of the story. Yeah,
two thousand, Yeah, that's worth Kurt Russell and the amazing
Val Kilmore as Dac Holliday, which you know everybody quotes
all the time. I'm your huckleberry. You look like somebody
just walked across your grave.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Uh. Fabulous movie.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But that movie lays out so clearly the situation law
and order is always in They could they they they decided, Okay,
no guns in town. That's how they're gonna try to
deal with criminals. The bandits causing all the problems in town,
and the IRP said no guns in town. And the
guys showed up with guns, and they found out, and
(21:41):
they had to make the choice, are we gonna go
down there and take their guns away from them? Or
are we gonna pretend we didn't notice that they're violating this.
They decided let it all unravel, and let it all unravel,
let them get their way. Yeah, and they decided, all right,
we're gonna go down there and we're gonna deal with this.
That is escalatory because you have to win handful of
tangents here.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Forgive me for it, but we'll pursue them as we desire.
I listened to a long interview with a CIA agent yesterday.
He's retired now he's doing other things. But it was
a very good primer in.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Utterly unsentimental real politic, foreign relations, warfare, just reality. It
was very very good in thought provoking as in aside.
It also made very clear to me that just because
somebody knows a lot about something doesn't mean their judgment
(22:41):
is great. This guy was very intelligent and very good
at spycraft, but his judgment about global politics, I thought
was terrible anyway. But his point was the CIA, their
job and the reasons he brought it up is because
(23:01):
he is flabbergasted, or at least he thinks it's important
that the head of the CIA is heading up the
negotiations for a ceasefire with Amas, which is the job
of a diplomat or a states statesperson, not a spy
chief whose job is to sneak around and lie and
cheat and get information. It's a very odd assignment, and
(23:22):
it shows you the nature of what we're dealing with.
But anyway, what he said was the CIA and the
American government, their job all the time is to protect
and advance of the interest of the American people period
the interests of the American people, and we will help
(23:43):
our allies to the point that it no longer helps
the American people, and then they're on their own. And
he was portraying what's going on in Israel right now
as what's best for America and the American people is
a two state solution, no matter how painful or long
it takes to get together for Israel and the Palestinian people,
(24:05):
because of the need to forge that alliance with Saudi
Arabia and to counter Iran and to bring back some
semblance of.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Stability, to the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He was very, very weak on Wait a minute, how
is Israel supposed to live with it? And his idea
was there'd be lots of trade between the Palestinian territories.
Just divide the country and half half is Israel, half Palestinians,
lots of trade and that would calm the place down.
And so Israel's just supposed to constantly be looking around
waiting for the next nightmarish, horrific, holocaust like attack from Hamas.
(24:42):
And I thought it was utterly unrealistic. I yeah, what
are they supposed to do about Hamas for instance? So
he got these organizations with well, that's their problem. You've
got these organizations Hamas and as well. And it's all
stems from Iran, who can't even pretend.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
They hate to Jews so.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Much they can't even pretend by saying we're okay with
Israel existing will will be good people. Now they can't
even in the face of all this. They keep saying
over and over again, No, no, no, we're gonna do October
seventh again. All Jews need to die, Israel needs to
go away. They can't even pretend that's how that's how
(25:22):
dedicated they are to this right, the Voss leaders.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So what are you supposed to do with that?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is Israel? And and I like Ian Bremer personally, we've
had them on many times. We'll have them on many
times again. But this this the idea that Israel's move
into Rafa is escalatory, Yeah right, exactly. That that is
Obama Biden disease. The most important thing is to come
together and negotiate D Davis esculatory is clearly, clearly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
To negotiate D Day was escalatory.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Lots of attempts to end a war by winning it
our escalatory. Burglar breaks into your house, he clubs your wife,
the head, puts a knife to your throat, you pull
out your gun, and he says.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's escalatory.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Come on, and also went on to say the United
States and specifically the Biden administration is by far the
strongest and closest ally Israel has in the global stage.
The red line on the Rock invasion should be viewed
in that context. So, because we have this weird view
of planet Earth and that somehow everything can be negotiated,
(26:28):
Israel supposed to go along with that, or has to
go along with that, because we have so much leverage
over them. I guess Lindsey Graham not happy about this move,
the senator from South Carolina. Let's air him.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Here's what Joe Biden is asking.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
He's asking the Israelis to turn the war over to
him and Lloyd Austin. To my friends in Israel, don't
do that fight without the weapons. Do not let Joe
Biden and Lloyd Austin run this war. They will do
for you what they've done for America. My fear is
it don Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's another that one. That's not the clip I thought
it was where he's yelling and screaming and a hearing yesterday,
which was fantastic. We'll get that for you. Lindsey Graham
very upset, and I think he should be. This is
this is the worst thing Joe Biden has done in
his career, in my opinion, just absolutely outrageous for us
to say out loud, you know, you need to you
need to do like we're doing in Ukraine, just enough
(27:17):
to kind of push back, but we don't want you like,
you know, killing a bunch of people and blowing a
bunch of things up and possibly escalating. And it's just
not good, so so just you kind of just kind
of keep it simmering forever with lots of people dying. Oh,
I heard a great argument yesterday. That's one thing I
want to ask Mike Lyons about, since I'm no military
strategy or expert, but the idea that more people are
(27:39):
dying or going to die with this view than if
Israel had just done the job as fast as they
could ended it. And and then you move.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
On, William T. Sherman, the quickest way to end the
suffering is to win the war. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Another point that this CI is CIA guy made, and
this is leading to an ultimate theme that we've been
hitting in recent weeks, was that Iran learned from us.
You finance and build proxies, you support them, and they
do your dirty work for you in various places around
the world.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
We're involved in proxy battles right now.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's easy to argue that the Ukrainians are doing that
for us, and we have various allies.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And you know, all over the world.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And he said they've they've learned from us, And I'm like, yeah, okay,
that's fine. That's not a moral argument. I'm not even
making a moral argument. Sometimes it is a moral argument,
I think, for instance, a society where my daughters can
grow up and do anything they dream of, he's better
than the society in Iran where.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
They get beaten to death and raped.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
For showing their hair. I think ours is better morally.
But even if I didn't feel that way strongly, and
I do, having the Western US led World Order for
very very strongly to having the Ayatolahamani and the Iranian
(29:05):
National Guard in charge of the World Order or Chairman
Shjin Ping. So on a purely practical level, I want
to wipe out our enemies when we can. If we can't,
guess because I'm no warmonger, resist our enemies, hold them
back economically, diplomatically, blah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But on both a moral and a practical level, you've
got to win. So you remember, especially if you're Israel,
you remember old Jamal Bowman. He's the representative who pulled
the fire alarm. He's kind of a member of the squad,
and a whole bunch of bad stuff just came out
about him the other day. We ought to get to
like hilariously bad stuff America hating bum and jackass. Yes, Anyway,
I came across this tweet. Jamal Bowman has joined aoc CARE.
(29:48):
That's that group of people that are pro Islamists Canz
Counsel on American Islamic Relations, Yes, that the FBI stopped
working with because they have too many ties to terrorism.
So Jamal Mohman, aoc care, and Bernie sand The all
welcoming Biden's decision to block arms to Israel if it
continues its RAFA operations. So that's the crowd that supports
this sort of thing. You know, you look around sometimes
(30:10):
when you make a decision and see who's on your side,
and me Adi, honestly, I don't know if I want
to be part of that crowd. I'm paraphrasing a great
song slash verse I heard. Once you know you've sunk down,
you wonder how deep it's easy to look around or
find out by looking around at the company you keep.
Congratulations Jamal, Yeah, that's not good company for Joe Biden.
(30:33):
What an interesting decision. I like I said, I can't
wait to talk to Mike Leines about this, just to
understand militarily what it means for Israel or what going
into RAFA might look like. Without these weapons. We've got
Katie's headlines coming up and a lot more to discuss.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Somehow I got on the topic of showering and smelling
or something earlier, and I mentioned my brother going like
a month without a shower when he was in Iraq
in the same uniform, and now he's like obsessed with cleanliness. Anyway,
we got this text. My record in Iraq was twenty
four days without a shower in two pairs of clothes,
one going and one coming back pair coupled up, cooped
(31:14):
up in a little armored car. We smelled right by
the time we got back to base, I guess, But
you know, the smell and all of it, that's one thing.
But just your skin, I mean, what sort of nasty,
nasty skin issues what you have? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He said you crossed some sort of line after a
few days into where it's just kind of like a baseline.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Discomfort. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So, how off the rails was the stormy Daniels testimony
the other day and the cross examination likely to be today. Well,
we have the privilege of talking to a gentleman who
is a Superior Court judge for thirty one years tried
innumerable cases. So can't wait for that conversation that is
right after the top of the hour. But first let's
(32:01):
figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with
Katie Green, Katie, thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Starting with Fox News, Biden vows to withhold weapons from
Israel if met and Yahoo goes forward with Ratha invasion.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I can't believe we're doing this. I really can't. I
can't believe it's happening out loud. I'm playing out this way.
It's just it's Oh, it's an ugly look in so
many different ways. More on that to come from CNN.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
House votes to block Green's effort to oust Johnson from speakership.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I hope that's the end of her, And in terms
of her having any power, it's definitely not the end
of her. She'll probably be in Congress till she dies
because her peeps like her and she raises lots of money.
But I hope it's the end of her feeling like
she can jerk the country around.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
From NBC News, Stormy Daniels returns to witness stand for
more cross examination in Trump trial.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I'm not proud of how excited I am about this.
Do you know what they mean?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
On CNN up there where it says, uh, defense changing
strategy for questioning Stormy Daniels. I don't know what the
details on that. I'm intrigued though, can't wait to hear.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
From The New York Times, Baron Trump will be a
delegate at the Republican Convention. Oh really, Yeah, he's getting
into politics all right?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Not surprisingly right, Oh he's nine already.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Last week from The Wall Street Journal, homeless or over
housed boomers are stuck at both.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Ends of the housing spectrum.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
They're saying, older baby boomers aren't moving out of their homes,
while younger boomers are reaching retirement and facing homelessness.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Wow, homelessness.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
How'd you get yourself in a position where you're gonna
be homeless?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Okay Boom from ABC News show, Hey Toni's interpreter to
plead guilty to stealing millions from.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Star baseball player. Yeah, dude was a degenerate gambler, and
he's just got to throw himself on the mercy of
the court and hope to get his life together.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
How much money did you steel? Sixteen million dollars?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So, for some reason this came up at dinner last
night with my kids, and they said, does show hey
get his money back? And I thought, who would he
get it back from? Is he just out of the money?
Who would he possibly get it back from a bunch
of mobsters and gambling websites?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Good luck? So are you actually just you just lost
sixteen million dollars?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I mean lucky luckily he's got an eight hundred million
dollar contract. He can probably absorb it. But I am
not an attorney, but I would guess you would have
to prove that the gambling sites knew it was stolen
money and could easily track it. But they you probably can't.
I don't know that my amil sites problem. No, So
are you actually just out of it? Like if I
had somebody like that was a helper and spent all
(34:45):
my money, I'm just screwed, I would guess.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So wow, interesting question.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
From the New York Post, Denver migrants sent Mayor Mike
Johnston a list of thirteen demands they refuse to clear
their encampment. Oh my on a free immigration, lawyer and
fresh cooking ingredients.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I need a lawyer and some ingredients because I've got
a plan for dinner. The phenomenon of people who have
no bargaining power and no right to be asking for anything.
Making demands seems to be a little more common these days.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And finally, the Babylon Bee dead worm found an RFK
junior's brain already pulling higher than Biden in eleven states.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh no, no, that's it, that's inaccurate. Come best.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
We'll do a late night joke off later, because every
late night comic took a swing at the brain eating
worm story. Retired judge commenting on the Stormy Daniels Frykus
Stay with Us, Armstrong and Geeddy
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Getty and Key Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Why from Studio C see sayor it is a dimly
lit room deep put them the bowels of the Armstrong
and getting communications compound the bowels, I tell you. And
today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Bombs, yink, no bombs Psike, Fike.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
This is the worst thing Joe Biden's ever done. It's
up there, absolutely the worst thing Joe Biden has ever done.
But this could he could be known throughout history for
this alone, depending on how things go.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But we'll see how y'all doing. It's a little Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
The weekend is like who stared us in the face? Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Could he?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You can smell the weekend from here? Is that what
I smell? I can't tell. COVID ruined my sense of smells.
It's hard for me to know. Yeah, I just had
a fabulous lunch with another friend who has a similar
fate from COVID. What's that? This smell is completely messed up?
He can smell a little, but man, it was breaking
my heart. He said, like when the winter turns to
(01:39):
spring and the grass's growth, the new and mowan lawn
and stuff, he can barely smell it. Now, I didn't
lose my smell, It just changed things. So like all
kinds of like a bad smell is just like makes
me want to throw up, and then lots of just
okay smells are now horrible. The idea of a upper
(02:00):
respiratory infection that also crawls into your brain and screws
you're RFK junior, right, come on, wuhan install some filters
in your lab or something. Sorry, I just saw another
mention of Anthony Fauci and Peter Dazak and blah blah blah.
(02:20):
The fact that those guys have not been called to
account is never mind. People's sense now overwhelmed me. People's
sense scent, their scent, Yeah, just overwhelms me. Like they're
just like if they're wearing perfume or just the the
scent of a person. Yeah, well yeah, they're scent. If
(02:41):
there's like the slightest well I don't even know if
it's good or bad because I think my brainschack. I
can't stand my own scent I've tried. I've tried every
kind of anti perse print there is or whatever. It
doesn't matter how showered I am or whatever it is.
I just I feel like I smell terrible to me, wow,
and other people smell terror to me.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now you just walk by me, you smell fine.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It took me, which you know, it took me a
while to catch on by kids, because I do have
teenage boys who can smell. It's not as bad as
I think it is. So I was constantly like, you
smell like a horse. When's the last time he showered.
It took me a while after the COVID to figure
out it's a lot of it's me. So I got
to lighten up on that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Smells like a Mumbai subway car in here.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
So all the time I'm around people, I think, jeez,
you smell horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But I think put on some extra old spice or obsession.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I have said, no, you can't throws together obsessions like
one hundred dollars a bottle, a great product that women
find romantic. Old spice is a completely different thing. It's
like ten dollars a gallon and you throw it on
to sleep at the bus stop. Yes, Katie.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wow, impressive aftershave knowledge there, Yes, old knowledge.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Old spice takes me back to the horrible days of
just getting blasted with that smell when you're walking down
the hall in high school.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, yeah, I xpactly high that's what your vice principal wore.
If you don't know, old spike smells like that was
what your vice principal was wearing.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But so I have a question, did anybody ever like say, hey, Jackie,
smell at some point in your life, because someone did
that to my husband and he.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Is convinced he smells bad all the time and he doesn't. Wow,
that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, I've never had anybody say that to me, but
it would stick with you.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Forever, lodged in his psyche his formative years.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm guessing yeah, back back in the day and we're
talking like a couple showers a day and always checking himself.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, what he needs counseling. I'll pay for thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'll take that. My brother has that like to the
level of OCD for different reasons. When he was in
Iraq in the war, he went thirty days without a
shower in the one hundred and twenty degree heat. Wow,
and I think in the same clothes that whole time,
thirty days.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
And so now he changes jeans like five times a day. Really, yeah,
how interesting? Is obsessed with being clean because of that
experience and that interesting?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah? Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I don't know if he still does that. So he
told me one time. I don't think I have anything
like that, other than at one point when I was
a kid, I asked my mom, what would happen if
And I can't imagine why I asked this. It must
have been something that happened the water service got cut
out or something momentarily, And I said, what would happen
if you were like soaping yourself in the shower and
(05:18):
it turned off the water turned off so you couldn't rinse.
And she told me, well, probably irritate your skin and all.
And that was probably at a similar age as we're
talking about, not your brother's experience, and and so I've
always had this like weird fear that the water's going
to go off, the soap's going to be on my skin,
it's going to hurt my skin, and and it wouldn't.
(05:40):
I wouldn't even remember it except in that award winning
drama of the eighties was it ten soldiers or somebody?
Timothy Hutton the it was about the military academy. Kids
took over the academy and like grabbed the guns out
of the armory for some reason.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I can't remember. It's pretty compelling at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And they had a scene where several of the kids
were showering up and they turned off the water as
part of the the effort to flush him out.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And I was like, oh, no, no, there it is there.
It is the worst scenario. Somebody.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's interesting. So something that I assume has never happened
in your life, and it's very unlikely to happen, and
even if it did, it'd be of no consequence. I
just take the towel and wipe it off. It's not
a particularly horrific outcome if the raredy occurs.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No, not really, not really.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Uh. And Gladys nice job playing the harp. Gladys has
that unique smell that old women have, and I don't
know what that smell is.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't think it's a special perfumer. It's lavender perfume.
Ben Gay, we should mixed with Ben Gay.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We should start the show Officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's
Joe Getty on this It is Thursday, May ninth, year,
twenty twenty four. Life will not be a boor in
twenty four or Armstrong you getting we approve of this program.
Let's begin that officially according to FCC rules and regulations,
here we are leaping into action.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
At mark.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Reality of this is this is like the congressional version
of a temper tantrum. Most of us, by the time
we turned twelve years old, figure out the tantrums don't
actually work.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And apparently not everybody in Congress has got the memo.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That is a shot.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So that's old Marjorie Taylor Green who went up to
the microphone yesterday. Did she think she was going to
get support, But she was going to try to bring
down the Speaker of the House as that as she
and her ILK have done before. And everybody booed, and
she got shut down pretty hard by both parties. Yeah,
and even Trump truthed out to her. Now is not
(07:34):
the time, Marge.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
You know, as long as we're discussing it, hit us
with three with thirty three that is really funny and
very Trumpian. Thirty three.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Marjorie Taylor Green basically said that Mike Johnson was unfit
to be a speaker.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She criticized him over FIZA. She criticized it to be
a Chad program. It's the MTG tape her talking. Is
that not thirty three?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
How is this happened? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Here, I have a disaster, whereas excuses like this is
just how you have to govern and divided government are pathetic,
weak and unacceptable even with our razor thin Republican majority
at least.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Less enough, Marge, Now is not the time, Marge Trump said,
woman's got a voice like a.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Motor boat, and everyone knows it, you know what.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I What I don't understand is how they kind of
got away with her and Gates with acting like Kevin
McCarthy was siding with Democrats too often, and she's she
Her claim is that Johnson sided with Democrats too often
when to boot them out, you need the Democrats to
join you. That is the whole thing, unless you got
(08:47):
everything unless but you're never going to No, it was
the Democrats that allowed them to boot McCarthy. But I
don't Yeah, so I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I think this might actually be a useful little exercise,
and we don't get deep into Beltway wankery because most
of it doesn't matter. It's just at Washington gossip.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But the dysfunction of the Congress because of grandstanders who
make a living claiming that we kind of have a
whole wolf. We could have everything we want if only
people were dedicated to not rhinos.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's just not the way where it's not the way
it's ever.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Especially if you're in the minority. You can be as
loud as you want and every tweet is all caps,
but if you're not in the majority, you can't get over.
Or if you have a one vote majority in the
House but you lack the White House and the Senat,
yeah you can. You can all cap it all you
want on Instagram. It's not gonna help. Yeah, you gotta
(09:43):
win elections and then have a big enough of majority
and enough majorities to win anyway that's been lost. You're right,
Maybe we had to go through this exercise and it'll
stick around for a while people remember, oh, yeah, that
doesn't really accomplish anything. Although I guarantee you Marjorie Taylor
Green raised a ton of money. Will she may be
in Congress the rest her life in her district, so
you know this is a principle. I want to I
(10:04):
want to hone this because I use a golf metaphor
for it, but people who don't play golf.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Wouldn't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I've characterized it as you're not playing very well and
then you make a swing so bad you realize, oh,
that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But there's got to be a better metaphor for it.
The more people can relate to. I don't don't. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Maybe you hit that weight on the scale that you say,
oh my god, I got to live differently, or it's
something I don't know, it's a hitting bottom moment. Maybe
it's a little light. Because I had this the other day,
I had so I was recording Henry was recording his
video for school, and so I had my laptop open
with the camera on, which I never have on facing
(10:48):
dis direction. And so he was done and everything like that,
and I was getting dressed and I walked by the
camera thought, who's that fat guy? I mean, I actually
kind of thought that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It was me. Oh lord, I.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Saw myself from an angle away. I don't ever see myself.
I was like, wow, wow. I almost had to sit
down for a while. And uh, maybe that's what's going on.
Now we're gonna be able to take a look at
ourselves from an angle, you know, see ourselves as other
people see us. Maybe that's what's going Oh please, no,
it's so weird when you see yourself from a different angle. Yeah,
(11:18):
and it takes a while to register it to you.
Oh that's interesting. That's what I look like. That's not
how I was picturing myself looking like.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
H again, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh okay, oh we got we started the show. How
does mailbag look?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh it's fine, cool.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah. And Joe Biden holding up the bombs for Israel
I think is just really really outrageous. We're gonna talk
to Mikelines about that. What that means militarily, it's all political,
I think. I don't think he's doing this because he
thinks it's the best strategy or whatever. But anyway, more
on that later. Yeah. Yeah, I have kind of a
multi layered point of view on this. I can't wait
(11:57):
to hear it. It's all on the way. What's your
point of view? Text line four one two nine KFTC.
I wonder if the West, for better or worse, has
just lost the capacity to identify an enemy and eliminate
(12:17):
it and just decide you're my enemy. I'm going to
destroy you. We just don't do that anymore. It's just
not a good look. It's not a good look. It
doesn't look good because you can see it. You didn't
used to be able to see it, right, you can
see it. Yeah, harrowing reports would issue forth from the
war zone, but you didn't see it. It reminds me
(12:38):
of this just so so strange phenomenon we're all familiar with.
You can read one hundred reports that an NFL running
back beat down his wife in an elevator.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
People are like, wow, if that has it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
One can be can be eye witnesses and everything. Then
everybody kind of goes about their business. Then a video
emerges and people are like, she's got to be banned.
If you see it, you believe it. That's the way
human beings are made. Here's your freedom loving quota the Day,
sent along by Tom and Sokow Albert Einstein. The world
(13:14):
will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but
by those who watch them without doing anything. It's commonly
expressed sentiment mailbag Philip, like this Babylon b headline sent
it along breaking Hamas offers to release zero hostages in
exchange for all Jews being wiped from the face of
(13:35):
the earth.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's about like their recent offers.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't get off of this topic, but the mention
of Hamas. How about Joe Biden and that interview he
sat down for yesterday, how about just say awful things
about Hamas. Ever, ever, how about you warn Hamas if
you're even if I agree with you and withholding the
bombs and all your warnings to Israel and your red lines,
you have any red line for Hamas or even say
(14:02):
and part of the reason the civilians are at such
risk is because Hamas uses human shields. Didn't even work
that in are there any red lines for Hamas? You
haven't mentioned them?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
All Right, We'll move on, guys. The de people are
good at their job.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I worked as a teacher in an affluent Bay Area school.
Rights anonymous, one of the recent high priests Awoke, retired
a few years ago. Looking through some budget stuff, I
found that he's getting twenty five grand on an ongoing
yearly expense. It certainly seems to be for his works
as an instructor in what our district is calling e
(14:39):
Equity University. This is a nineteen hour course that's taught
by this retired teacher. He has the assistance of the
company we paid to consult our DEI Initiatives. Even if
this teacher takes thirty one hours of prep time, giving
us a nice out round number of fifty man hours,
that's still five hundred dollars an hour to indoctrinate us
in DEI. Quick Google search you'll f a cardiac surgeon
(15:01):
in California makes about one hundred and sixty seven dollars
an hour, not five hundred. I hate it, but this
man is a genius. Al That is one way to
look at it. That is some Speaking of the wook
stuff in school, the mentally deranged so called transgender boy
(15:22):
who beat down a girl on video getting a lot
of attention. I have a strong feeling that if this
happened in my son's high school, a mirror six to
ten years ago, there would have been another beat down.
I have sympathy for the father of this young high
school girl that got beaten down by a dude.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They were letting.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Troubled men into the girl's bathrooms in the name of
equity and non transphobia. We'll have to weigh the consequences
on whether to take physical action leading to rest or
hope for the justice system to correct. I don't want
to come off as a tough guy, but I'm pretty
sure my wife and kids would understand if I had
to go away for a while. KLDBDGA FOB keep letting
(16:01):
dudes beat down girls and find out beashes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Ooh, that's strong stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, well, I'd be so mad, like you couldn't restrain
me mad.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, there would.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
If one of my daughters had been beaten down by
a troubled young man who was let into their toilets
by SICKO administrators because that troubled person said yeah, I'm transgender,
there would have been militancy.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'll just put it like that. Moving along, we don't
really have time for that. That's more outrage. Oh, we'll
just say.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Aleen Anonymous his daughter participated in the anti Israel protests
at USC. She claimed up and down, it's not pro Hamas,
it's pro Palestinian. I told her if she gets arrested,
she'll be killed by her father or myself. It's funny
because they structured the whole thing like a Marxist camp
with Communist policies, and it completely fell apart.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It was a disorganized mess.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
She finally stepped away and disc discussed good learning experience
and to study for her finals.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
So Stormy Daniels is back on the stand, taking on
two dudes at once, the lawyer's cross examining her. Oh
and on CNN it says the defense has changed their
strategy for questioning her.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know that story. We'll have a look into that.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Exciting and we have a retired judge to comment on
the Monkey Court Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of
those bombs and other ways in which they go after
population centers. I made it clear that if they go
into Raffa, they haven't gone on Raffa yet. If they
go in to Raffa, I'm not supplying the weapons that
have been used historically to deal with Raffa, to deal
(17:51):
with the cities, to deal with that problem.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So Joe Biden canceling the shipment of big giant bombs
that he had approved and argued for, and when the
Republicans were holding it up as leverage for this or
that or we couldn't get this legislation passed. He was
really cheerleading, this stuff has got to pass, and then
it passed. And now he's holding up the big bombs
because Israel was gonna do the only thing anybody ever
(18:17):
thought they were going to do, which was eliminate Homas.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't even know where to begin.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
He went on to say, I made it clear to
BB in the War Cabinet, They're not going to get
our support if in fact they go on these population centers,
meaning we have given one percent assurance to Hamas that
they will not be attacked as long as they hide
in population set. So he did an interview with CNN yesterday,
and this is where this conversation comes from. But I
(18:46):
watched the whole damn thing, and it's red line after warning,
after disparaging comment about Israel and nothing about Hamas. At
no point are there red lines for Hamas or does
he point out, as Joe said a little bit ago,
that the reason Hamadi, even even if I was gonna
disagree with him, he ought to make the argument that
(19:09):
it's outrageous that Hamas has driven the people of Gaza
into one city to use them as human shields right,
But I don't believe that it's the right way to
handle it for Israel to go in or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
But he doesn't say that at all.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's embarrassing, it is, it's mortifying. Yeah, we need to
get more of that interview from CNN guys, when you
get a chance.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But how does so ian?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And again I mentioned I said a little bit ago.
It has the West lost its capacity to define an
enemy and then just destroy them, regardless of college kids
or world opinion. You just win a war.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
What a great court.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We lost the ability to do that. In Bremer tweeted
out Israel's move into Rafa is escalatory, but don't lose
hope of a temporary cease fire. It's escalatory, that's the point, exactly,
escalating it until victory.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
And that's been everything. Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
We don't want to give Ukraine these tools because it
would be escalatory. We don't want to do this against
Irana would be escalatory. The other side gets to escalate, escalate,
but you're never supposed to match them or go far.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Enough to beat them to win. So it's over. It is.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I don't understand. It's a denial at its root. It
is denial that war is ever necessary. And I know
there are utopians and piece nicks among you who believe
that to be true. And it's a beautiful sentiment. It's
never proven out in history. The problem being it's like
disarming cops but allowing the bad guys to have guns.
(20:47):
Then you got arm the cops, and if the bad
guys shoot at the cops, the cops have to shoot back.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And kill them. They've got to, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I used the example of the gunfight at the OK
Corral because my son and I watched Tombstone, which is.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
A fabulous movie.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The Tombstone was the nineties version of the story. Yeah,
two thousand, Yeah, that's worth Kurt Russell and the amazing
Val Kilmore as Dac Holliday, which you know everybody quotes
all the time. I'm your huckleberry. You look like somebody
just walked across your grave.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Uh. Fabulous movie.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But that movie lays out so clearly the situation law
and order is always in They could they they they decided, Okay,
no guns in town. That's how they're gonna try to
deal with criminals. The bandits causing all the problems in town,
and the IRP said no guns in town. And the
guys showed up with guns, and they found out, and
(21:41):
they had to make the choice, are we gonna go
down there and take their guns away from them? Or
are we gonna pretend we didn't notice that they're violating this.
They decided let it all unravel, and let it all unravel,
let them get their way. Yeah, and they decided, all right,
we're gonna go down there and we're gonna deal with this.
That is escalatory because you have to win handful of
tangents here.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Forgive me for it, but we'll pursue them as we desire.
I listened to a long interview with a CIA agent yesterday.
He's retired now he's doing other things. But it was
a very good primer in.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Utterly unsentimental real politic, foreign relations, warfare, just reality. It
was very very good in thought provoking as in aside.
It also made very clear to me that just because
somebody knows a lot about something doesn't mean their judgment
(22:41):
is great. This guy was very intelligent and very good
at spycraft, but his judgment about global politics, I thought
was terrible anyway. But his point was the CIA, their
job and the reasons he brought it up is because
(23:01):
he is flabbergasted, or at least he thinks it's important
that the head of the CIA is heading up the
negotiations for a ceasefire with Amas, which is the job
of a diplomat or a states statesperson, not a spy
chief whose job is to sneak around and lie and
cheat and get information. It's a very odd assignment, and
(23:22):
it shows you the nature of what we're dealing with.
But anyway, what he said was the CIA and the
American government, their job all the time is to protect
and advance of the interest of the American people period
the interests of the American people, and we will help
(23:43):
our allies to the point that it no longer helps
the American people, and then they're on their own. And
he was portraying what's going on in Israel right now
as what's best for America and the American people is
a two state solution, no matter how painful or long
it takes to get together for Israel and the Palestinian people,
(24:05):
because of the need to forge that alliance with Saudi
Arabia and to counter Iran and to bring back some
semblance of.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Stability, to the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He was very, very weak on Wait a minute, how
is Israel supposed to live with it? And his idea
was there'd be lots of trade between the Palestinian territories.
Just divide the country and half half is Israel, half Palestinians,
lots of trade and that would calm the place down.
And so Israel's just supposed to constantly be looking around
waiting for the next nightmarish, horrific, holocaust like attack from Hamas.
(24:42):
And I thought it was utterly unrealistic. I yeah, what
are they supposed to do about Hamas for instance? So
he got these organizations with well, that's their problem. You've
got these organizations Hamas and as well. And it's all
stems from Iran, who can't even pretend.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
They hate to Jews so.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Much they can't even pretend by saying we're okay with
Israel existing will will be good people. Now they can't
even in the face of all this. They keep saying
over and over again, No, no, no, we're gonna do October
seventh again. All Jews need to die, Israel needs to
go away. They can't even pretend that's how that's how
(25:22):
dedicated they are to this right, the Voss leaders.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So what are you supposed to do with that?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is Israel? And and I like Ian Bremer personally, we've
had them on many times. We'll have them on many
times again. But this this the idea that Israel's move
into Rafa is escalatory, Yeah right, exactly. That that is
Obama Biden disease. The most important thing is to come
together and negotiate D Davis esculatory is clearly, clearly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
To negotiate D Day was escalatory.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Lots of attempts to end a war by winning it
our escalatory. Burglar breaks into your house, he clubs your wife,
the head, puts a knife to your throat, you pull
out your gun, and he says.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's escalatory.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Come on, and also went on to say the United
States and specifically the Biden administration is by far the
strongest and closest ally Israel has in the global stage.
The red line on the Rock invasion should be viewed
in that context. So, because we have this weird view
of planet Earth and that somehow everything can be negotiated,
(26:28):
Israel supposed to go along with that, or has to
go along with that, because we have so much leverage
over them. I guess Lindsey Graham not happy about this move,
the senator from South Carolina. Let's air him.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Here's what Joe Biden is asking.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
He's asking the Israelis to turn the war over to
him and Lloyd Austin. To my friends in Israel, don't
do that fight without the weapons. Do not let Joe
Biden and Lloyd Austin run this war. They will do
for you what they've done for America. My fear is
it don Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's another that one. That's not the clip I thought
it was where he's yelling and screaming and a hearing yesterday,
which was fantastic. We'll get that for you. Lindsey Graham
very upset, and I think he should be. This is
this is the worst thing Joe Biden has done in
his career, in my opinion, just absolutely outrageous for us
to say out loud, you know, you need to you
need to do like we're doing in Ukraine, just enough
(27:17):
to kind of push back, but we don't want you like,
you know, killing a bunch of people and blowing a
bunch of things up and possibly escalating. And it's just
not good, so so just you kind of just kind
of keep it simmering forever with lots of people dying. Oh,
I heard a great argument yesterday. That's one thing I
want to ask Mike Lyons about, since I'm no military
strategy or expert, but the idea that more people are
(27:39):
dying or going to die with this view than if
Israel had just done the job as fast as they
could ended it. And and then you move.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
On, William T. Sherman, the quickest way to end the
suffering is to win the war. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Another point that this CI is CIA guy made, and
this is leading to an ultimate theme that we've been
hitting in recent weeks, was that Iran learned from us.
You finance and build proxies, you support them, and they
do your dirty work for you in various places around
the world.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
We're involved in proxy battles right now.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
It's easy to argue that the Ukrainians are doing that
for us, and we have various allies.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And you know, all over the world.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And he said they've they've learned from us, And I'm like, yeah, okay,
that's fine. That's not a moral argument. I'm not even
making a moral argument. Sometimes it is a moral argument,
I think, for instance, a society where my daughters can
grow up and do anything they dream of, he's better
than the society in Iran where.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
They get beaten to death and raped.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
For showing their hair. I think ours is better morally.
But even if I didn't feel that way strongly, and
I do, having the Western US led World Order for
very very strongly to having the Ayatolahamani and the Iranian
(29:05):
National Guard in charge of the World Order or Chairman
Shjin Ping. So on a purely practical level, I want
to wipe out our enemies when we can. If we can't,
guess because I'm no warmonger, resist our enemies, hold them
back economically, diplomatically, blah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
But on both a moral and a practical level, you've
got to win. So you remember, especially if you're Israel,
you remember old Jamal Bowman. He's the representative who pulled
the fire alarm. He's kind of a member of the squad,
and a whole bunch of bad stuff just came out
about him the other day. We ought to get to
like hilariously bad stuff America hating bum and jackass. Yes, Anyway,
I came across this tweet. Jamal Bowman has joined aoc CARE.
(29:48):
That's that group of people that are pro Islamists Canz
Counsel on American Islamic Relations, Yes, that the FBI stopped
working with because they have too many ties to terrorism.
So Jamal Mohman, aoc care, and Bernie sand The all
welcoming Biden's decision to block arms to Israel if it
continues its RAFA operations. So that's the crowd that supports
this sort of thing. You know, you look around sometimes
(30:10):
when you make a decision and see who's on your side,
and me Adi, honestly, I don't know if I want
to be part of that crowd. I'm paraphrasing a great
song slash verse I heard. Once you know you've sunk down,
you wonder how deep it's easy to look around or
find out by looking around at the company you keep.
Congratulations Jamal, Yeah, that's not good company for Joe Biden.
(30:33):
What an interesting decision. I like I said, I can't
wait to talk to Mike Leines about this, just to
understand militarily what it means for Israel or what going
into RAFA might look like. Without these weapons. We've got
Katie's headlines coming up and a lot more to discuss.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Somehow I got on the topic of showering and smelling
or something earlier, and I mentioned my brother going like
a month without a shower when he was in Iraq
in the same uniform, and now he's like obsessed with cleanliness. Anyway,
we got this text. My record in Iraq was twenty
four days without a shower in two pairs of clothes,
one going and one coming back pair coupled up, cooped
(31:14):
up in a little armored car. We smelled right by
the time we got back to base, I guess, But
you know, the smell and all of it, that's one thing.
But just your skin, I mean, what sort of nasty,
nasty skin issues what you have? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He said you crossed some sort of line after a
few days into where it's just kind of like a baseline.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Discomfort. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So, how off the rails was the stormy Daniels testimony
the other day and the cross examination likely to be today. Well,
we have the privilege of talking to a gentleman who
is a Superior Court judge for thirty one years tried
innumerable cases. So can't wait for that conversation that is
right after the top of the hour. But first let's
(32:01):
figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with
Katie Green, Katie, thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Starting with Fox News, Biden vows to withhold weapons from
Israel if met and Yahoo goes forward with Ratha invasion.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I can't believe we're doing this. I really can't. I
can't believe it's happening out loud. I'm playing out this way.
It's just it's Oh, it's an ugly look in so
many different ways. More on that to come from CNN.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
House votes to block Green's effort to oust Johnson from speakership.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I hope that's the end of her, And in terms
of her having any power, it's definitely not the end
of her. She'll probably be in Congress till she dies
because her peeps like her and she raises lots of money.
But I hope it's the end of her feeling like
she can jerk the country around.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
From NBC News, Stormy Daniels returns to witness stand for
more cross examination in Trump trial.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I'm not proud of how excited I am about this.
Do you know what they mean?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
On CNN up there where it says, uh, defense changing
strategy for questioning Stormy Daniels. I don't know what the
details on that. I'm intrigued though, can't wait to hear.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
From The New York Times, Baron Trump will be a
delegate at the Republican Convention. Oh really, Yeah, he's getting
into politics all right?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Not surprisingly right, Oh he's nine already.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Last week from The Wall Street Journal, homeless or over
housed boomers are stuck at both.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Ends of the housing spectrum.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
They're saying, older baby boomers aren't moving out of their homes,
while younger boomers are reaching retirement and facing homelessness.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Wow, homelessness.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
How'd you get yourself in a position where you're gonna
be homeless?
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Okay Boom from ABC News show, Hey Toni's interpreter to
plead guilty to stealing millions from.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Star baseball player. Yeah, dude was a degenerate gambler, and
he's just got to throw himself on the mercy of
the court and hope to get his life together.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
How much money did you steel? Sixteen million dollars?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
So, for some reason this came up at dinner last
night with my kids, and they said, does show hey
get his money back? And I thought, who would he
get it back from? Is he just out of the money?
Who would he possibly get it back from a bunch
of mobsters and gambling websites?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Good luck? So are you actually just you just lost
sixteen million dollars?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I mean lucky luckily he's got an eight hundred million
dollar contract. He can probably absorb it. But I am
not an attorney, but I would guess you would have
to prove that the gambling sites knew it was stolen
money and could easily track it. But they you probably can't.
I don't know that my amil sites problem. No, So
are you actually just out of it? Like if I
had somebody like that was a helper and spent all
(34:45):
my money, I'm just screwed, I would guess.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So wow, interesting question.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
From the New York Post, Denver migrants sent Mayor Mike
Johnston a list of thirteen demands they refuse to clear
their encampment. Oh my on a free immigration, lawyer and
fresh cooking ingredients.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I need a lawyer and some ingredients because I've got
a plan for dinner. The phenomenon of people who have
no bargaining power and no right to be asking for anything.
Making demands seems to be a little more common these days.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
And finally, the Babylon Bee dead worm found an RFK
junior's brain already pulling higher than Biden in eleven states.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh no, no, that's it, that's inaccurate. Come best.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
We'll do a late night joke off later, because every
late night comic took a swing at the brain eating
worm story. Retired judge commenting on the Stormy Daniels Frykus
