In hour 1 of The Armstrong & Getty Show:
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack arms Strong and show Katty arm Strong and Jettie and he.
Arms Yet, good God, it's cold in here, sixty four degrees in the studio.
I'm vote it's uping you up.
I vote for don't air condition the place to sixty four degrees in the heart of summer, and give everybody a raise.
Because what's that cost? Good Lord, I wouldn't worry about it live from the studio.
See you see senor as all right, people catch one too, that it's gonna be like eighty eight in the.
Studio for the rest of the summer, because.
You got to be one of the extremes. It can be somewhere in between, like comfortable, like room partuer. There's a there's there's a something called room temperature. That's what you're shooting fordmnitly let room et cetera, et cetera. Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Let's go with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, the moderators of the upcoming debate, painstakingly neutral, scholarly wise. So the latest reporting about the debate, I don't remember it came from Politico. Somebody has got it is that Biden is preparing for both Trump's hot angry interrupting Trump even though he can't interrupt in the uh format that they've got going here, and calm presidential Trump, in which case the plan is, according to the reporting, that Biden is going to attempt to get under his skin to try to get him back to being crazy yelling Trump by bringing up the twenty twenty election results or something like that. Yes, Unfortunately, if you're a Trump supporter, that getting under Trump's skin is effortless.
Can Trump?
No, can Biden bring up the twenty twenty election in a really sort of pushy way about he won't even admit that he lost in twenty twenty and Trump just let it go by and stick with inflation and immigration? Can this we talk about the future? The little devil and the little Angel sitting on Trump's shoulders. The little Angel's got to say, you'll be president again if you just let it go, just let it go. Yeah, I'm just afraid that the angel is a little androgynous wafboy and the devil is built like the rock is Steve Bennon, Yeah, exactly, big old brawler.
Come on, now, let's get this own.
Isn't that something, though, that they're planning for because they've been watching Trump and he's been more disciplined than he's ever been in his political career, which is not very long, and they've got plans of the key phrases they think are triggers to get him back into you know, Trump mode. Yeah, I wonder, and I can't wait to find out. I do believe it's apparent that somebody or somebodies could be Laara Trump Don Junior, who knows some pros on the staff have told them, you want to beat these bastards, Here's how we beat these bastards. I'm a specialist, and I'm telling you this is how we do it.
And he believed it. On the other hand, it's easy to go back to your old form.
If the year, if this is kind of a new swing thought for you to use a golf analogy, Trump may revert back to good old.
Trump at the you know, drop of a hat.
So why did you make Dana Bash and Jake Tapper the general managers today a lot of conversation about how anti Trump they've been through the years, how They've been leading the resistance ever since Trump came on the scene, and the idea that their appropriate moderators is troubling to to folks who tend to support.
Trump are just Republicans. Well, I don't know.
Has have there been many moderators that weren't anti whoever the Republican candidate was either only or almost certainly in private. Has there ever been a moderator who you'd have any reason to believe was anti the Democratic candidate?
I don't. First of all, I don't think it's all again name one.
You're absolutely correct, whether it was open or hidden bias, it hasn't been this egregious as CNN decided their ratings ploy you know several years ago, we're going to be part of them. We're gonna lead the resistance. We're gonna beat MSNBC at their own game. We're gonna lead the resistance. So it's just been egregious and open.
I tell you what.
One of the great disappointments of my taking in broadcasting slash politics life was when Fox News hosted a couple of debates or one debate, whatever it was, and they asked the questions from the perspective of the liberal media. Of course they they are so part of that heard that they found it impossible or are they couldn't even imagine asking questions from a conservative perspective.
That was a terrible night. It's awful.
I picture Martha mccallums sitting there asking her her like she works for the Washington Post, questions, and it just hurts my heart. I would like to hear a question ever asked on behalf of the law abiding taxpayer. That'd be the first one that I can remember, right, never comes from that standpoint, even though that's almost everyone who's watching. Yeah, ask all right, I know you can cook one up on the spot. What would you ask Joe Biden about immigration?
For instance?
The immigration questions always come from the angle of the person that came across the border and how awful you're being to them with this policy or that policy, and never from the what would you say to the taxpayer whose emergency rooms are clogged with people who came here illegally, whose schools can't function even though they are tax paying, law abiding citizens. Nobody ever says that no, And that is not only an appropriate question, that is by far the most appropriate question, given the fact that taxpayer slash voters are in charge of this country. This is our country. You get to say this so in the constitution, we the people. Perhaps you've seen it. You can say the same thing about the street population or lots of different things, but nobody ever does. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, June twenty fifth, the year twenty twenty four. Life will not be a born twenty four. We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program. All right, then let's swing into action officially according to FCC rules, Reggs, the show starts at mark.
But now the Trump presidency is coming to an end, with so many squandered opportunities and ruined potential, but also an era of.
Just plain meanness.
It must be said, to paraphrase President Ford, for tens of millions of our fellow Americans, their long national nightmare is over.
Oh my god, Yeah, I got Inde the mother here for the debate, the calls.
When Trump lost barely lost in an election, he got nearly eighty million votes, the second most votes anybody's ever gotten in a presidential election. And you say the nation's nightmare is over right, and the ear of meanness is over Somebody should have told Joe Biden that before he started saying Maga, Republicans were gonna, you know, put black people back and change and change. And it was Jim Crow on steroids. Oh, they've got one hundred other examples. They've got a new ad out, an official Biden ad first to his row. Now they're coming for this and that, including a contraception. So the Joe Biden himself has got an ad out saying Republicans are going to try to do away with birth control, which is hilarious, but you know a certain number of people will buy that. Wow, you're talking about the uninformed voters. You saw on one of your Sunday shows the other day and got a great email from a chap about that, and he said, yeah. One of the people said, yeah, I heard that Trump is in favor of just shooting people as they come across the border. And another person said, yeah, I hadn't heard that. Wow, Holy cow, don't rock the vote, please stay home. Well, I can tell you how's a guy who's done this many times. Go to your local watering hole, sit there at the bar with a beer, and listen to some people talk about politics and you'll realize they're not. I don't know where a lot of people get their information, but they're living in a different world. Although if you try really really hard, especially now, to you know, read the paper, watch TV, listen to the radio, whatever, you can be pretty off off track. Also, how does mail bag look? So democracy doesn't work? In other words, time for monarchy?
Monarchy now?
Yes, mail bag is outstanding. Include and it includes rich In San Francisco's bizarre fantasy.
All right, fantastic. I don't know why you had to use that really creepy voice. I feel like I.
Should have maced you, because it's fun gonna mace you right in the eyes just for talking that way.
What rich in San Francisco dreams of at night? You gotta get a restraining order.
That's coming up on our text line is four one, five, two nine, five k FTC Armstrong and Alex Trebeka Jeopardy stamps starting next. Finally, of all the people that various presidents, civil rights leaders, icons, Alex Trebek, I don't feel like putting out a stamp has quite the mind share it did in nineteen seventy five.
Now, I use about three stamps a year. I forgot they existed. Yeah, yeah, uh. Here's your freedom.
Loving quote of the day. I love this from Margaret Thatcher. You can always count on the Iron Lady for a good quote or two. This is one of the great paradoxes of history. The socialism, which has done so much harm, was born of a great humanitarian urge, the desire to give people dignity and security. The trouble is that too much security removes a man's dignity by attenuating his freedom's You know, I haven't gone off on this screen for a long time. But the problem with socialism is that it requires a certain degree of control, and for it to work, it's a great deal of control. Well, and the flip side is the problem with capitalism, as it requires a certain amount of risk and it's on you and not everybody wants that.
True.
Yeah, absolutely true. Which brings us back to our red state, Blue state experiment. That will divide the country in two and form up two countries for ten years and then come back and compare notes and see who did better than just enact those policies. Wouldn't that be grand? Yeah, hippies mail bag how'd you do over here, you hippies? That's all we'd say when we walked into their country. Seem I'm about healing, bringing people together your belligerents does not appreciated.
I'm about a fortnight you're a loser dance.
Now. The shocking fantasy from Rich in San Francisco today is Tuesday, Biden is the questioned away doing debate prep prep. I'm having fantasies that Biden's team is quietly whispering to each other that there's no way they can send him out on stage without notes in a teleprompter. So sometime either late today or tomorrow, the campaign announces that unfortunately President Biden has lost his voice or make up some excuse not.
Be able to debate.
Ah, watching the announcement on CNN would make it hit that much sweeter. That's what they would do if they couldn't get him ready. So reporting in Mark Alpern's newsletter today, I thought was interesting. Everybody's wondering why is he so much debate prep. I mean, he was been a senator and vice president and president for fifty years. He doesn't need debate prep. He knows everything there is to know he needs rest. He's there with nothing on his schedule to rest. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, and then he gets the great big shot in the ass on Thursday night and off he goes gibbering like a tweaker like he did at the State of the Union, and they.
Give him a big fat shot in the ass allegedly.
Let's see, Uh, this is from rich Papa pu up.
Oh.
So the first question Dana Bash will ask Trump is something like this, President Trump, who you now can see the President Biden won the election. It was not rigged, and he is legitimately elected president of the US. No matter what he answers, you will follow up at least trice twice trying to get him to say those exact words. Also, whatever Trump says, Jake Tapper will quickly slip in a fact check counting every answer he gives, and it'll eventually lead to a Trump Tapper debate instead of a Trump Biden debate.
Oh yeah, I could.
I could easily see Dana Bash is Danna or Dana whatever it's Dana. Uh she, I could easily see her pokin' Trump over the twenty twenty election or January sixth, in an attempt to get him going.
And they won't poke Biden.
You know, experts say that your student loan debt has caused.
The economy this, and that they're not going to say that. No. No, Oh, let's see what do we want to go with next. Let's see.
Diane points out that Elon talks about having lots of children all the time. Civilization will crumble if we don't have more children.
I know an article. We got fifty of those texts yesterday.
I know.
But you're not going to change it yourself. Oh, he's trying to do it single hand. The tanks here. The man is a hero that's got nothing to do with having twelve kids.
That's some sort of weird ego thing or I don't know what that is, but it's weird.
Things are getting weird, and they getting weird fast. Yeah, and you're leading the way anyway.
Rick says, guys, as somebody enlightened me, why are all the people that come into our country illegally called migrants?
Now? My question constantly.
Yet when the same politicians refer to migrants, and I'll see they say the opposition party will not vote for comprehensive immigration policy.
Am I missing something? Yeah?
Rick all you're missing is the effort by the left to change the language again, to make it to GluR the fact that these people are coming from one country and immigrating into another. They call them migrants like they're ducks. They're not migrating. They're not gonna fly south for the winner. They're immigrating. They're staying, migrating south for the winner. The one that's bothering me now is they've gone even further with the changing the language. The new Biden ad is that about that reproductive healthcare. I'll keep doing everything I can to protect access to reproductive healthcare in the wake of the Dobbs decision.
Now you talk about a lie.
Hey, if you want abortion legal at very stages, have the.
Freaking guts to say it.
Good God, there's a perfect example of something a moderator. The moderators will use some sort of term like reproductive healthcare.
Into affirming care, which doesn't good. Question.
Nobody's trying to mess with reproductive healthcare. It's a question over when does that massive cells that is alive, When can you legally kill it?
That's the question. Why don't you have the guts to say it? Are you ashamed of it? A couple more.
I'd love to squeeze in old school versus new school journalists. This from Henry. Old school usually did not have journalism degrees, starting out at a small town paper radio, where they learned their craft and earn and earn their cynicism about all politicians. They learned how to write and what to write from tough editors and older staffers. They saw the grid of police and court beats. Today they come out of propaganda ivory tower mills with their utopian loyalty to their causes. Today they're like old Soviet factory managers, reporting on what the party wants to hear, not the reality of the poor production. I think that's well spelled out, Henry. True, you know at your big newspapers and cable news channel and stuff like that, But they're going to be replaced by anybody with a computer and who's smart. And you don't have to have any qualification whatsoever to be a person who owns a smartphone and have your own substack or blog or whatever.
Right.
And then finally, this Jack was talking the other day about how it's such a seller's market in real estate because I know houses on the market. I joked that you could walk in the owner punch you in the stomach and you'd say, oh, now can I see the kitchen? Because there's so few houses that choose from. Got this note from Nick. Why did you do that? That's a nice backyard, Nick says, I'm a real estate agent property manager, and I see stuff that makes me sick. I went looking for a ranch property for myself, and all joking aside, there were at raise yourselves, folks, there were actual cat turds inside the house, multiple rooms.
Owner couldn't even be bothered to pick.
Up the fecal matter to show us the house. It was a vacant property too, so it's not like the tourds were hiding in corners, just right out in the middle.
Of the rooms.
Well, that is worse, but the exact I got the house, buy it turns and all. I went to look at a house and the door handle for the screen door front doors hanging off. Nobody even took the time to go get a Phillip screwdriver and tighten it up.
I don't care. You don't want to buy it.
The next person will's that's nuts, Armstrong and getty.
Each day I go up a canyon down a canyon to the next waterfall and sit down by the waterfall and trink water out of my boot. I felt comfortable the whole time I was out there. I wasn't worried about I had a mountain lion that was following me. He kept his distances. I think it was just somebody watching over me. Just help, help, I'm over here. I want a burrito in a taco bowl. That's what I thought about every day when I after the first five days, when I started like kind of realize that I might be over my head.
So maybe you saw this on the news. A California man I got lost in the woods for ten days. I gotta admit when I first saw it, I thought, are you just trying to go viral?
Wow? Is that what's going on here? But I don't know.
The the tear of joy with him and his wife looked pretty real.
Yeah. Whereabouts? Was it Soca somewhere up in the mountains? Yeah, plenty of mountains in California.
Lord knows, it's a beautiful place, and yet people are leaving in droves.
I wonder why could it be the California's crub Like, oh no, thanks, metal guy?
So a handful of stories here, culminating in a very very funny one headline that I missed at the time, but an alert listener centered along. You know what a side show is when the young people take over bearded lady.
Little guy, no.
Dog faced boys joined the twins, No, sir, it's when they take over an intersection or a street or whatever and do the drifting with the cars and everybody's partying and shooting off fireworks and all. It's illegal and people often get hurt, but the cops have now just let it happen. And the San Francisco to Oakland Bay Bridge was shut down for half an hour late late Saturday night by a big side show, shut down the whole bridge for half an hour, hundreds of people involved.
Zero arrests.
Got to admit, I'm a little soft on on the cracking down on the side shows.
I don't want it in my neighborhood.
I don't want it blocking traffic, but just in general, y out somewhere and you're spinning around, Hey, either watch or don't. Yeah, but shutting down the Bay Bride, No, that's no good at all, and lots of people should be arrested for that because you're affecting. You might affect tens of thousands of people by doing that right right now.
This was late at night, so it was less effect.
But can you you can now if you have enough people literally shut down the Bay Bridge into San Francisco for your hijakes, just for fun, and nobody will do anything about it. So is that just that they don't want to deal with the hassle, the hassle of the pushback and what is that? Yeah, there are a lot of people, a lot of people of color. It's politically inconvenient, there could be violence, so they just think that we'll let the lawless take over the streets.
Nobody's gonna get prosecuted. So why am I gonna get through all that paperwork and everything? Right?
But man, is that not a powerful symbol? You can now if you can get one hundred people together shut down the Bay Bridge and nobody will do anything about it, that is amazing. More specifically, yes, metal guy, thank you. You perhaps around the country heard about the disastrous Props. Forty seven and fifty seven California. The voters in California, you're trying to overturn Prop forty seven, and there's an insidious plan that sheriffs are now starting to talk about, where the phony union owned California Assembly has passed a bunch of laws to help crack down on crime. But if this nasty voter driven prop passes, they're gonna all of those bills or all of those laws are rescinded, they'd be automatically repealed, and you would ruin our good reforms if you vote for this nasty prop. And yes, yeah, it's this weird poison pill. It's a strategy I've never seen before in my.
Line, no kidding, Yes, yeah, it's bizarre.
And of course, if the prop should fail thanks to this insidious poison pill, will those eleven wonderful bills, which are watered down versions of what the propositions trying to do, will they actually pass, will they actually be enacted, or will they be repealed the next freaking day by the supermajority of corrupt dems. Is that sounds like an abusive relationship. Oh, don't make me hit you right, Yeah, it's terrible, and law enforcement is trying to speak up against this and tell the voters what's up. But here's the super insidious part of it. They've now empowered even more the Attorney General and the Secretary of State to write the descriptions of the ballot measures. And so they're going to in the official voter Guide say hey, if you pass this, it's going to overturn all sorts of great criminal justice reforms that are.
Aimed to make you safer. What's going to be in the effec official guy? Why are these people so pro crime? I just don't get it.
Man, you might as well move the rusher Hungary or North Korea or something like that. Anyway, speaking to that sort of thing, the hilarious Adam Carolla Lifetime and Los Angelino has announced that he is going to move. He has twins in their senior year of high school. He says, I'll be attending their high school graduation in a U haul, and he talks about how unthinkable it was to leave LA for like he mentions the Carolinas or Nashville or something. He talks about watching the Beverly Hill Billies. We don't go there. They come here in funny fashion. But he has no respect for us. So I have trouble listening to Adam Corolla stories, but it is would you like to explain why we had him on the show, and he urinated while he was talking to us, Yes, and.
To his shirt.
As I recall and retrospect, you could hear it. But then he did talk to on his podcast some about Yeah, I was doing an interview and I had to go, so I just went because there are a bunch of unimportant jackasses. So I just went at and urinated. I told that's what he says, what he was implying paraphrasing here, yes, exactly. Putting aside jack who being able to hold a grudge for decades, I've got to hit you with this.
Yes, Joe, actions speak louder than words. And look what he was doing.
Exactly, all right, urinated while he was talking to hus. He had to go. It was a long interview. He's an older man. Perhaps he should mix in some saw palmetto or something. But then here, next time you're standing around talking to somebody, just turned it aside on zip and whizz on the ground.
This wallder talking to you. I'm still listening.
But here's here's one of my favorite paragraphs. He says, it's sad because I don't even have a place I need to go. There's a difference between going I want to live out my retirement years in Maui, or I gotta move to Arizona because I have bronchitis or something. This ain't that right, This is I just have to leave. I don't even know where I'm going. This isn't me cheating on you for another woman. This is I hate you so much. I'm moving into a motel room and not dating for six years.
That's pretty funny. Yeah yeah.
And then he goes into the syringes and drugs and baggies of heroin and and just the streets and how it just keeps getting worse and worse, and he, like us, he's wondering aloud, how much worse does it have to get before anything's done about it? And then he went on to a tear against Gavin Newsom, who he called a narcissistic douchebag and a slippery eel of nothingness.
He laughed, I laughed, Yeah, yeah, it's.
A shame California's crumbling Los Angeles lives. A metal guy really thorough today, appreciating the yeah yeah, the ads for California with the surfers and the movie stars.
If you ever come to California, let me drive you around and show you some places.
Yeah, it ain't surfing in movie stars. It's heartbreaking if you know, think about it long enough.
Just awful.
A couple of stories that we should mention that are pretty big deal. Julian Assange is getting out. It looks like he's not going to be coming to the United States. He's not going to be prosecuted for all the horrible things he did, all those secrets that he released around the world that did so much damage to us from that weirdo.
Chelsea Manning person.
Yeah, now, he did spend quite a bit of time in jail, and he's pleading guilty to some lesser charges in exchange for time served. Well, he's spend most of his time in an embassy, living a pretty comfortable wife.
Remember he had all that.
They finally booted him out because he had his cats running around, he wouldn't clean up after him and all that sort of stuff. Well, trapped in an embassy, it's not as terrifying as being trapped in a vestibule, for instance, exactly experiencing a moment of panic in a vestibule. But I wouldn't want to be trapped in an embassy.
It sounds sucky.
Juliannisanchu's held up as some sort of truth teller something by a certain crowd, even though the only truths he was willing.
To tell was against the West.
He didn't have any truths to tell about China or Russia or North Korea. Nope, nope, just disclose tons of classified information about the US. He's a very different case than Edward Snowden, in my opinion. Snowden, who is in the warm embrace of vlat Putin right now. I'm sure he's enjoying his life a great deal. But at least he was trying to disclose the fact that the intelligence services were spying on America, which they were.
Idlighted about in.
Front of Congress under oath, and they earned severe punishment of becoming CNN commentators. Right and quickly this before we take a break. Ford is recalling more than a half a million pickup trucks. They sell the most popular pickup truck in the world F one fifty uh, recalling more than half a million trucks due to transmissions that usually recalls are minor, but they got to do the recall just in case. You know, it's some tiny little thing you're your glove compartment box will fall open or something like that. No, this recall one car.
Caught fire somewhere in Indiana.
This one transmissions that can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. Well, I don't want I don't want that. That's that's a recall. Seems like a flaw. We got Katie's headlines on the ways stay with us in a moment of panic, was trying to escape a vestibule.
Oh terrifying arm trong Hetty.
The Supreme Court announced they're changing their way they do things. In this week, the last week of June, they are going to be releasing opinions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. They added some days to the usual Monday Thursday schedule, so it could be today or Friday. Today tomorrow, no, sorry, tomorrow or Friday. I think the big immunity thing. Don't release that on Thursday morning ahead of the debate. I don't think. But oh yeah, I wonder if that's a key factor. Should it be or should it not? I don't feel like there's anything wrong with that. The announcement of a decision, understanding the politics just yeah, I'd have to think that through I don't intriguing question, it might save us wasting time listening to questions that become irrelevant the next morning.
I like all the arguments I keep hearing on cable news.
This is particularly about the I guess the January sixth case and the Supreme Court in this. But various courts dragging their feet to help Trump, So you want them to speed up to hurt Trump? I mean, I mean, I don't know that they are dragging their feet to help Trump, but the wheels of justice grind incredibly slowly.
If you ever had any court thing.
It's shocking how slow and how long it takes to do anything. I mean, it's just crazy. But so uh, dragging their feet to help Trump is awful. Speeding it up to hurt Trump would be fine. Well, they're protecting democracy, you see, Jack. If Trump gets elected, we'll lose our democracy.
Gotcha? Nice?
Let's figure out who's reporting what it's Lee's story with Katie Green, Katie.
Thank you, guys.
Starting with CNN, outside advisors are urging Biden team to focus on Trump, not first term record.
Well, well for good reason, yeah, yea.
They're saying is talking about his quote achievements is not resonating with others.
Yeah, because inflation went from two and a half percent to nine percent under him.
From Politico, gun violence is fueling national trauma, Surgeon General warrens He's saying the growing number of victims, both direct and indirect, will persuade Congress to do more well.
And he said that we need to take guns out of the realm of politics and into the realm of public health.
No, no, we don't. The idea that.
This is a gun issue and not a cultural issue is wow. Yeah, it's not a people who are willing to shoot other people over practically nothing issue. If anything, guns are harder to get now than they were ten years ago, twenty years ago, fifty years ago. But everybody's shooting everybody in lots of different cities.
Why is that?
From the New York Times, next phase in Gaza war, with quote intense fighting set to end, Natanyahu said that the conflict is about to enter a new stage.
Yeah. Meanwhile, you have even the Joint the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs presenting the Biden administration just constantly warning Israel don't escalate in the North against Hezbollah.
We don't want a wider conflict. We won't back you, he said.
We won't back you in the way we have in the past if you broaden the war with hesball in the North, which absolutely encourages Hesbelah and Hamas to attack more.
Of course it does.
How about did you see any of those hostage videos that got released yesterday? Oh my god, just read about them every once in a while being reminded who Hamas is.
They are monsters, Yeah, torturing, raping monsters.
From Breitbart dot com.
Trans athlete who won nc double A title threatens to quote.
Take all of the records in future track events.
I think that would be the best thing for women's sports. Let everybody see how stupid and egregious and unfair it is. Let's do this all right, Let's have a dude when every event at the NCAA Finals, once again proving that men are better at everything, including being women.
Yeah, I think you're right. Take it to the absolute ultimate. That's a joke.
Take it to the actual ultimate limit there, and then everybody stand around say, so we all ca with this. A dude just won every event. Is that what we want or not? Well, there's no proof that a transgender man automatically has an advantage there.
Their arguments are so stupid.
Well, guys, transgender men or an it's a woman, it's a woman.
You guys, you're being haters.
Clean it's not used gendered language to address everyone.
Trans women are women and hot dogs are dogs.
Yes, from Fox News.
Who suffers from defunding the police?
This blue city has.
Over one thousand unsolved murders. We're talking about the city of Saint Louis, whoever, the last decade has a thousand murder cases that have remained unsolved because they have such a police shortage.
Lots and lots of murders have always not gotten solved. It's just something we don't talk about much. Yeah, Saint Louis is in rough, rough shape though, and they've got one of the most notorious non prosecuting prosecutors, Poor Saint Louis.
From USA today, Americans are the worst globally at taking vacation time for the lowest on the list, averaging eleven days a year.
Yeah, you're comparing us to an awful bunch, awful lot of European socialist countries where they take eight weeks of vacation every year, and and and don't don't pay for their military because we are, and stuff like that.
From the New York Post.
Top secret US aquatic drone named the Manta Ray spotted on Google.
Maps for to see. Ooh, did you guys see anything about this?
I did? They?
So apparently somebody got a hold of somebody at Google and it's been scrubbed.
They edited it out.
But I wondered, just because I'm reading David Sanger's New Cold War, it's possible that this leaked out on purpose and then they scrubbed it and put it away. But they wanted to scare somebody saying, hey, we got some things you don't know about. Yeah, I've got a couple of stories about drones in warfare. And if you're picturing the little one that your son got for Christmas, no, these are like, you know, mini speedboats, packed with explosives and stuff.
Both in the air and on the sea.
So clearly unmanned war is the next step.
And finally the Babylon Bee.
Trump preps for debate against Biden by going to nursing home and arguing with dementia patients.
