Hour 4 of A&G features...
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center.
Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty Show. Somehow I got on the topic of mocking the fact that there's an NBA playoff team called the Pelicans. I guess I knew that, but I'd forgotten that they play the Sacramento Kings tonight. Pelicans is I feel like a really dumb sports team name. But then, as I was thinking, a lot of them, we've just gotten used to over generations, and so you know, Lakers sounds cool, or Cubs sounds cool.
Or.
Man just doesn't make any sense. Well, I like your example, the Pittsburgh Penguins. I mean, unless you're a mackerel, you're not really threatened to buy a penguin. Somebody said, there are lots of not tough sounding names. You got Cardinals, you got dolphins, you got all kinds of things. Oh, I got to disagree with dolphins. I almost brought that one up. But to a dolphins or rapie, b they are one. They want you animal your mascot because our animal rapes animals kind of weird. I don't think that's why people wanted dolphins. They're also pretty and intelligent and interesting. They're one of the few animals that will murder one of their fellow dolphins. There are plenty of animals that will rough the hell out upbout you. That sentence didn't quite work. They will rough you up there for territorial reasons, but they don't generally kill you. You just run off with your tail between your legs. Dolphins will murder. Actually, the best names are like giant is a pretty good name. Yeah, hey, Michael, you like this. If Arnold Schwarzenegger was portraying a dolphin, he'd say, and you better leave it up room for my snout because I'm going to ram it into your stomach. Wow. We were watching We were about halfway through Kindergarten Cop, which I had never seen before. M Arnold from the early nineties. He's surprisingly svelt.
In this movie.
It must have been after must have been after his roid days, but before he just started to get a little bigger from age than he's spicing thin.
But anyway, his acting is.
So horrible in that movie, My kids, we're just dying laughing, Like every single thing he says is hilarious unintentionally, every single thing. Yeah, just absolutely wouldn't. I've never gotten I've never been able to get past that and enjoy his movies like people seem to. It is not a tuma. What just wouldn't We got to finish that the night? God, we were having fun watching that. Oh that's great, Hey, beautiful. Hey, We've got a lot to squeeze in the final hour of the week, But first we need to take a fond look back at the week that was. It's cow clips of the.
Rama also builds back in the house, I expressed in opinion, we'll.
Murder you well, those whips of the weak.
Scotty, Scotty, he's done it again.
He's a matter of people. You know, I'm a cat right now, I'm a giant cat regular.
It's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage. Did squatters have rides?
Property shouldn't just sit empty, and if they are, they should be seized by people who need them.
Iran has just responded.
About thirty minutes ago, more than three hundred drones and missiles launched at Israel, the US fighters alone shooting down those eighty armed drones. I can't imagine a better day.
It's the same eneity it's the same mine enemy.
That's how Israel.
Looked at it. I don't have faith that you'll do this.
You guys are all horrible human beings.
And Jesus probably would have killed you himself.
You are.
Squeezing, You are funding Danna side.
In fact, a reference for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.
Yes, yeah, I asked him to resign what he thinks he said he would not.
I am not resigning. My son is going to begin and to enable academy this fall.
This is a lot of fire exercise for me.
Is it is so many American families.
It is the people of the state of New York versus Donald J.
Trump and then freezing. Everybody was freezing in there.
I mean, it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible and so beautiful in so many different ways.
He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be There are a lot of cannibals, for real in that part of New Guinea.
It's easy to focus on Joe Biden making up yet another fanciful tale about his uncle being consumed by cannibals and overlook the fact that he sounds like the world's oldest man being interviewed. Right, is energy lest whisper of a fellow who's nearing the end of his life. Yeah, it's not talked about enough, the idea of him just flat out dying before November. Yeah, well, I've tried to talk about it. It seems obvious to me. They've been dealt with people I love very much, You've neared the end of their lives, and he reminds me of them.
Right.
There have been a number celebrities die younger than him. Recently Dicky Betts, the guitar player, who I was happy to see he made the evening newscasts I watched because I'm a giant Dicky Betts fan.
But anyway, he died at age.
Also posted at armstrong in Giddy dot com under hot links Dicky Betts's best work with the Allman Brothers. Bunch of links from a beloved listener's son who works for Rollingstone dot com. Awesome, Well that's fantastic. But Dicky Betts died at aj eighty. There was some other celebrity died the other day, like seventy nine. I mean, that's not it's not uncommon to die at that age. And you're right, this is kind of what it looks like toward the end. I mean, yeah, yeah, hey, Michael, help a brother out. Do we have that short? Catherine Marr clip the Marxist lunatic from NPR.
In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way a finding common ground and getting things done.
She is so straight out of orwell, let me translate in a very simple way, the truth, knowing history, independence of thought will interfere with us marching in lockstep to overthrow the system. Play it one more time. Does this not mean the truth interferes with us marching in lockstep to overthrow the system?
In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.
I don't know how you get past just YadA, YadA, YadA in reverence for the truth?
Well said, Uh, I'm sorry you just dismissed reverence for the truth because it will help us get stuff done. Oh, the lack of wisdom and life experience it would take to fall for that garbage. That's why propagandists always target children. Always, you build your army with young people.
Isn't she forty one?
Though? I thought she's young, Yeah, what does that have to do with anything? Well, she's she's not on the receiving into propaganda. She's not like a twenty two year old kid, you know.
I see.
Oh No, Marx and Lennon knew that the people would have to have Marxism shoved down their throats by force, which was why they mobilized stupid young people. That's the way that scam works. Jack back to you, big economic news. Maybe Bitcoin's having event is today they're gonna have their stock. I read a long, interesting article about when stocks get had the other day in the Wall Street Journal. I didn't know this. I just always been going along with it my whole life. And the smart people know. They're not exactly sure why stock prices go up with the half, but they do always, So everybody's just.
Knows that that's part of the deal.
If you if you take a big stock and it's value to a certain level, and then you cut it in two, the two halves are worth more than the whole almost always. So if I have one share, I end up with two shares each worth half the value, well more than they're more shares available.
Yeah, but they always they always goes Initially it's.
Half the value, and then it goes up. It always goes up, and they're not But what I didn't know is that even experts don't exactly know why it just does. It might be psychological whatever bitcoin having happens today.
This is from a Texter.
All bitcoin enthusiasts say that this will cause a massive increase in value within a few months. Well, history with most stocks would show you it will be at least an increase due to limiting the supply. If this happens, it'll be sufficient proof that these significant increases in value can be predicted by yourself. Some bitcoin or sato s statoh shsh. I don't know that one. There's a lot of ask for it by name. There are a lot of cryptocurrencies.
But yeah, I.
Wish I had gotten in bitcoin a number of times, and there have been a number of times I thanked God I didn't, but maybe I should get in today. Well, it's it's like sports betting. Don't gamble more than you can lose. It might go way up, but it might not. Saw this headline in the Wall Street Journal that chilled me a bit. Pension funds are pulling hundreds of billions of dollars from stocks. Some turned to bonds or private markets after the major indices run to records. So you got some of the super giants saying that's enough, let's get out of the market. I know you're not supposed to time the market because you can't and historically blah blah blah. But I see a headline like that and I think, well, we sit on the sidelines for a minute. Yeah, by the nip, that's good advice, Thank you, sir. Eh boy, what do you want to squeeze in this hour? I got so many things to choose from.
I've got a bunch of shower thoughts I grabbed from Reddit yesterday. I thought i'd run through on a Friday that are pretty both entertaining and interesting. So we'll get to those before the hour is up.
Plus, because I loves me a political theory and the dynamics that kind of cause changes in society that people don't recognize. Have you ever heard the term negative exceptionalism? No, Once you understand what it is, you will see it everywhere.
Okay, I look forward.
It's a pretty pretty common rhetorical trick.
All kinds of wisdom coming your way. Just stay here. Wait a second.
What the hell does a double album mean in the world of everything? Shows up in my favorite streaming service. It could be nine hundred songs. I mean, Taylor Swift dropped a double album today. Those of us hold enough to remember Vinyl records know what that means. It had two LP's in there with four sides. But what does it even mean now? It's more songs? Okay, it's just describing it in a way that people comprehend.
I guess most of them, all those people the age of her, I don't know. What do I know? She's the billionaire I'm not.
Yeah, yeah, you got your shower thoughts? Is that what you might do that? Here?
I thought I was doing that here. I can't.
I don't know. You can do whatever you want, or I can do the other thing. I don't care. Whoop's failure to communicate? Got a cut? It's Friday. I mean we are both legs out the door, both feet out the door. Is still my head just in the door? Is what's going on here? A couple of headlines that I I think we had this one earlier family who got their nine year old son of pet octopus reveal how it up ended their life. Yeah, all right, all I hear there is your morons. You got your kid in octopus and didn't think it would be a big deal.
All right?
Like this headline, prostate cancer vows to find out who did this to oj find the real killer. Yeah, exactly, Babylon b. After workshopping several potential slogans with Democratic focus groups, the twenty twenty four Biden campaign has settled on death to America. This is what the Biden presidency is all about, announced President Biden. Is the campaign banner was unfurled, death to the Great Satan. Well, how much do you think the trial is gonna get coverage starting Monday? I mean Monday, it will because it's opening everything. But don't you think it like three days in it'll be just intricate campaign finance stuff that's not interesting to anybody. They're gonna have to, you make a good point, they're gonna have to work hard to ring interest out of a lot of the testimony. It could be one of those river or valleys and mountains and valleys things peaks and valleys. That's the phrase I'm looking for. Where you know, when Michael coh enters me Daniels the Mattress actress actually testifies, that'll make a big, big deal of it. Oh yeah, I'll be interested in that. But okay, here's some shower thoughts, which is a Reddit thread that we used to do all the time, but I just grabbed some at random yesterday. There is no way to gracefully chase a bouncy ball. I have found that true even recently. A bouncy ball is bouncing around, you look like a nut job trying to catch it. The probability of you dropping dead in the next five minutes is greater than zero. The fact that someone believes in horoscopes tells you much more about that person than the horoscopes ever would well stated, uh, I thought this one was just interesting and could be discussed at length. We're slowly going from an era of pure information to one of pure disinformation.
I think we actually are. We're just like almost everything you hear, or learn or come across is either wrong or spun so hard that.
Well, and you don't even need to get there. As Vladimir Putin could tell, you're the KGB. All you have to do is have enough disinformation that nobody knows which is which anymore, right, it gives up trying.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Yeah, And I don't know what the tipping point is on that we may have already done it. Tipping point to where what's the point of even paying attention. I don't know what's real and what's not. Here's another one. Most offense is taken by people on behalf of others. That is absolutely true. How often are are you Are these people actually offended? Or is that something someone shouldn't say because of what it would do to them?
Interesting?
Right? Performative?
Yeah, this one's just funny.
We can't seem to come up with a disposable drinking straw material that hits the sweet spot between lasting five minutes and five hundred years. I live in a town where they banned plastic straws, so we have the paper straws that disintegrate in your mouth thirty seconds after you use them. I remember there was a company that came up with biodegradable golf balls because they were better for the environment, and I asked him how long would it take? This thing about it? A great because it performed just like a regular golf ball. It was pretty good. And the guy said, I can't remember the precise number of it was something like, yeah, probably about ten thousand years. Wow, what I know. You don't get credit for being biodegradable. At some point in human evolution, there was the last guy to live his life naked. That's funny. I told this one of my kids last night, when my son told me I was wrong about something. Somewhere a fifteen year old is giving a thirty five year old life advice because I was telling him something they used to do with prepare for life for the world, And he said, no, I don't. Okay, the fourteen year old knows more than I do about going out in the world and surviving. Once you study medicine long enough, strangers are suddenly fine with showing you their genitalia if you're looking for that.
How about one more?
The previous generation went from paying for ring tones, I remember that, to wanting to smash their phone into pieces if it ever makes a sound.
Wow, that is very true. We got a lot more of the way.
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Two packed passenger planes narrowly missed colliding at Washington's Reagan National Air Porer. Federal investigators say an air traffic controller instructed that Southwest flight bound for Orlando to taxi across a runway. Seconds later, a Boston bound Jet Blue flight was cleared for takeoff, rolling down that same runway, setting both planes on a path to collision. Those Jet Blue pilots quickly aboarding takeoffs, slamming on the brakes, surprising passengers, the taxing Southwest plane stopping as well, both jets coming within four hundred feet of each other, just seconds away from disaster.
Well then the audio of the people in the air controlled tower was like, I love the planes coming down of the way. Stop the plane. I mean they were like, full on, this is going to be a crash. Panicked.
Oh yeah. They were shouting stop stop, which is not the way the system is supposed to work. All right, yiesh, Yeah, that's what you say. Is your kid's about to step into the bike lane when there's a bike coming Yeah, not crowded airliners. This might be the biggest story of the day, probably should be.
Is I just came across it.
I don't know the name Mike Steudman, he's the former commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Okay, because I'm about to quote him, and so remember who he is or was, the former commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
That's not a minor thing.
He believes China is on the warpath developments underway, suggests Taiwan will face an existential crisis in single digit years, most likely in the back half of the twenty twenties or front half of the twenty thirties. He wrote yesterday and says, despite the fact that Joe Biden and I would throw in Ian Bremmer and a lot of other thinkers believe that because China's got some economic problems and that sort of stuff, they're putting off the whole Taiwan delio and everything. This guy, again, former commander of the Office of Neighbor Intelligence, said unfortunately, the opposite is true. She is militarizing Chinese society and stealing his country for a potential high intensity war. China's trajectory signals deepening danger and a hardening of she's intent to execute an active aggression similar to what Russia did in Ukraine. A storm from Beijing is heading to Taiwan. Although hopes were high that the Russia Ukrainian War might deter you from folly over Taiwan. Nothing in his behavior, speech, or actions so far suggests he's learning anything other than how to better prepare to subjugate Taiwan. I hope he is wrong, But that is a guy who has a lot of knowledge and spent a lot of his life thinking about this sort of thing. Who thinks that the biden Ian Bremer view is incorrect. Well, the biden view on everything is in correct. Who will put him aside for a moment. I think both sides are correct. It's just a question of timeline. China's not going to move now. But he gave it the period. We're discussing single digit years up to nine years. Oh, I think absolutely give it four or five, six, seven years to turn around some of the economic headwinds they're facing. Look, they're given damn pandas back to the US again. This is so transparent. They're trying to warm relations, get the trade going again, revitalize their economy, beef up, and then you know, in twenty thirty two they march. That to me is very likely. Well, one thing I like, we like he rememory We have him on a show a lot, but he is a big It wouldn't be in their interest to do this guy. History is full of people doing things that was a bad idea that nobody from the outset.
It wasn't good idea for Hitler to go into Russia.
It wasn't a good idea for Putin.
To go into Ukraine.
And people do things against their interest all the time in the person of lives, as leaders of nations.
It's just human nature.
For whatever reason, hubrisk, miscalculation, whatever, Sure, and and.
The other thing. What was the other thing?
I'm old and it's slipped out of my mind.
It doesn't matter. This topic will be around for a long time.
But well, I think I think if I'm she, my calculation is I'm gonna I'm gonna take Taiwan like we've been saying we're gonna do for the last seventy five years, and and I'm gonna bet on the fact that the world won't rise up and stop us.
And I think he's right. I think he's right.
Probably, Yeah, Michael, let's isolate the phrase if I'm she, and then we'll announce that Jack has come out as transgender. If you'd be so kind. I saw the sweet the other day from an account I think it was an account I follow retweeted it, but this person tweets. Once you start looking for Alan Levi's negative exceptionalist in quotes in public policy, you will never stop seeing it. And maybe it would make more sense to explain it then give examples. But the best it's a kind of fake criticism. We're the most racist country on earth. There's no way we can clean up our city because this, that, and the other, or you know, it's it's it's weaponized in the opposite direction of usually this is the greatest country on earth. Where's the explanation. I'm sorry there. It is fake criticism as distraction from reform. The connection between negative exceptionalism and bad practices is that negative exceptionalism always tells the reformer, we're ungovernable. This can't possibly work here the case of proof of payment, that's the complicate. The examples are very complicated and very long. They're convincing, but they're too long for our purposes. Here frequently used to substantiate tearing down the system. Revolutionaries go with it all the time. The idea that the United States is the most racist country on Earth is hilarious. It's laughable. It's like, I don't know. It's like saying Barbados is the largest land mass on Earth. It's not even close. But if you say it often enough that you get buy in the system of covetching that empowers middle class. Now see again, that's into the specifics. It's too much, not the theory. Let's see they have a couple of examples. The best way to view this kind of fake criticism is I think through the lens of negative exceptionalism. Negative exceptionalism takes the usual exceptionalism and exactly inverts it. We have the most corrupt government, we have the worst problems, We are the most ungovernable people. The more left wing version also adds we also have the worst racism and sexism. In all cases, this is weaponized against the concept of learning from elsewhere. How can we learn from countries where I spent three days on vacation and don't feel viscerally disgusted by poor people. So it's a weird. Well, it's what it is. It's negative exceptionalism. Oh, that wouldn't work here because we're X, Y, and Z. Once you become aware of it. You see it everywhere. It's a weird sort of fatalism or giving up or I don't know, it's almost it's a weird sort of humble brag, isn't it.
Yeah. I wonder if there's a human nature aspect to it.
I'm just thinking about like my kids feeling like, you know, we have worst book vacations of any of my friends or something like that, you know, that sort of thing. I just wonder if it's kind of we're built that way unless we catch ourselves and use reason to straighten ourselves out. Yeah. Yeah, they mentioned that.
In fact, the more I think about it, the more I do think we're built this way.
These things always happen to me, like I'm uniquely exceptional in bad things happening to me, which is ridiculous.
Yeah.
They mentioned that there was a big movement in Sweden in the twenty twenty ten fourteen here, I can't remember what year that, And it almost worked that this activist group was saying Sweden is the most sexist country, the most deeply sexist place on Earth or in Europe or something like that, and any objective look at Sweden sociologically, legally speaking, by any measure. They're not not at all, but they got a bunch of people to believe it and got a bunch of stuff done and some of it almost done. You must, We'll pargue with the details.
It must make us feel good on some level, or it tickles some need we have. Yeah, it does.
It's it's a weird like cousin of the narcissism of small distinctions. It's like why the kids go on and on again about I'm a transgender, bi sexual polypan sexual gender because it makes you feel special. It's odd though, anyway, keep your eye out for it. Okay, I got to clean up the stupidest thing I've said this week. Hopefully I've said some things this week that weren't stupid, but the whole bitcoin conversation was stupid. And here's somebody pointing it out because I was, for some reason, assuming the word having was the same as stock splitting.
But it's not. It's a completely different thing. The bitcoin having is not as you described.
When a stock splits two for one example, owners of the stock get two shares for every share they own. I think everybody with even slight knowledge of the stock markets where that this is not the case for what bitcoin having event is having in this case means that the rewards for mining bitcoin is cut in half. Miners who were receiving one bitcoin as a reward for solving a cryptographic puzzle will not only receive half a bitcoin. Now, I don't know what any of that means at all, but it is not the same as just their stock is splitting today. Yeah, and we had somebody email on a similar note and said, there it is. This happens approximately every four years. I like, I know somebody who bought a really super powerful computer and they were talking about, Man, they could start mining bitcoin with that, but they're worried about the electricity bills and all this stuff.
I have no idea what that means.
I mean, you're going to take your fancy computer and mind bitcoin and it uses a lot of good energy for some reason.
You're minding.
A digger to it, a shovel, a power shovel to it. You dig down into the earth looking for bitcoins, simple and you know when you found one because they're shiny. Oh yeah, and they got a big B on them.
God, I'll tell you what.
I don't know if there's anything I've ever understood less than this, than the Secrets of the Inner Workings of a woman.
Bitcoin thing. You're gonna mine for bitcoin? Are you? Okay?
All right, he'll not be mining for bitcoin and you'll not be writing the sequel to Shades of Fifty Shades of Gray either.
We will finish.
Secret inner working sold.
That's weird. We'll finish strong next time, Armstrong.
Turning to international news, an Australian man took the largest pumpkin grown in the country this.
Year and paddled it down a river.
As far as why he wrote his pumpkin down the river, the man said his only real motive was to have fun and make people smile. Well, yeah, we kind of assumed that. Can you imagine if his motive had been literally anything else. I'm trying to find my daughter who's been taken. I have a very particular set of skills. Unfortunately, they are finding, carving and rowing pumpkins.
She's a gona.
That is one of the funniest things I've heard Colbert say in years. Right, any other explanation, nothing, You thought it'd make people smile. It's pretty pretty silly. Wow, that is a really funny joke. Hi, Michael, you're on a tear. You recommended that joke. He also said, this is pretty entertaining. Does it need any set up? I know, it's just informative.
Every single night you should be washing your toothbrush bristles with soap and water. Not only can this greatly impact the amount of bacteria and plaque build up in your mouth. Now studies are showing the bacteri in your mouth maybe linked to your cardiovascular health, including development of heart failure and atual fibrillation. And once a week soak this sucker and hydrogen peroxide or antibacterial mouth fine, if you get strip throat after twelve to twenty four hours, throw this thing away.
Now, that last one about strip throat, I think we've all heard. But I've heard that the other one, unlike some of the various Internet you've been brushing your teeth wrong your whole life. You have been putting on your socks wrong your whole that's bold duty. But that sounds pretty reasonable to me because it sits there kind of wet, and it's in your mush. Another Bitcoin text on the day that it is going to have and some people think this is going to be a really big deal for.
The stock market.
Mining coin sounds complicated, but it's fairly straightforward. Powerful computers try to guess a really really big number. If you guess it correctly, they get a reward of a certain amount of bitcoin. The having means that the reward for guessing the right number is being reduced by fifty percent. Okay, fine, but the why if my computer guesses the right number it turns into money is completely lost on me. Two control the amount of currency in circulation. I mean, how is that different than you take these little rings that look like giant froot loops and you try to throw them on a bottleneck at the state fair, and if you can get it on four, it's worth something for the stock market. I mean, I don't see any difference. Well, because ring Chuckers didn't come up with blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. It was computer fiends.
I'll take your word for it.
I just I know it would be much better at the ring toss. This is similar to philosophy. I just recognize that I'm not going to understand it, and so I don't work at it harder. I'll understand other things that I can understand. Yeah, I'm working really hard on my my fomo fear of missing out just financially, not you just mean missing out of money in a lot of different ways. Okay, just to be more content with what I have, Like intellectually, I'll look at something and say, looks really interesting. Don't have the time, don't have the bandwidth, as they say, which is a bit of a cliche, but I think it's kind of a useful one. I'm realizing I can't do that. I would like to, but I'm only living one life. I'm busy with these things. I can't kick myself. It's like, my daughter's going to law school and I've been threatening to go to law school literally for forty five years, and I was actually I thought, you know, it would be so much fun and kind of a bonding thing that not that we need it. My daughter and I are best friends, which is one of the best things that it's ever happened to me. But I thought, I need to take one of those Masters of Legal Studies courses. It's like, you know, thirty units or whatever. You can spread it out over a couple of years. Then I looked at the time involved and I said, Nope, I can't do that, not with my job, not with my career and it's too bad, but you just got to let things go. I'm never going to be a concert cellist, well, probably not. I don't have a cello for one.
Hey, kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.
Yes, if you want to be a concert cellist, step one, get a cello.
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Yeah, but you gotta beware the syndrome where you buy yourself a really good chello, books and instructional vida and is the best bow available, and then you don't work at it.
Right.
Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew. Mike Langelow, fire away.
It's Friday.
I've got NBA Playoff basketball tonight and the Taylor Swift double album.
Maybe the greatest day since my wedding.
Awesome wow, happy for you, Katie Greener esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie Jack, I'm looking at this picture you posted on Twitter of your grilling situation, and I don't know where to start, either with the food on the ground or the plastic spatula right, I.
Couldn't find my metal spatula. Oh sad, sad, Jack, I said.
A final thought you'd like to share. I hate to go a serious final thought on a Friday, but I think this Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, going patriotic, patriotic and act actually doing what he thinks is right, and I happen to agree with him, is an interesting turn for our politics. It's going to get those bills through the House this weekend. You know, Durnett, we had vowed we were going to play that several times today and just kind of spaced it off. And that's too bad because I think he's a really, really honorable guy.
Well that was my final thought.
It'll be saluting Mike Johnson. That was certainly an honorable move for him to say. I believe Russia, China and Iran are together trying to dislodge the United States.
I believe the intel and we need to stop them.
Yeah, And the reporter asked him, aren't you worried about losing the speakership? And he's like, no, no, I'm going to do the right thing. As he said, I believable. Sons headed to the Naval Academy. It's not a joke. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, so many people, thanks so little time. Go to Armstrong in getdy dot com. If you see something all over the weekend we ought to be talking about sending it along. Mail bag at Armstrong and Geeddy dot com got some great hotlings for you today too.
Trump trial starts Monday. We'll see then.
God bless America.
Farm Strong and Getty the order.
Of the hell.
I'm gonna call my lawyer.
I hate that there's still an opportunity to join us and being adults in the room. It's it's it's really serious. I'm a cat right now.
I think if I'm she, my calculation is I'm not a cat.
You guys are all horrible human being.
Fine, have a great Friday, Mother, Armstrong and Getty
