• Katie Greene:
  “Violence is not the answer. The answer is open history book.” [04:18]

• Michelangelo:
  “Under Mayor Johnson, Chicago has already spent a whopping $527 million taxpayer dollars on the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants living there.” [26:35]

• Katie Greene:
  “So far, it could really be argued the city of Chicago has, checking the Constitution, zero constitutional responsibility for the border.” [27:58]

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Katie Greene]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. How y'all doing?

[Michelangelo]

Good to hear. I got a couple of sick kids in my house. Always a drag.

[Katie Greene]

Oh, man, there's so many bugs going around.

[Michelangelo]

Yeah, this one includes vomiting, which hasn't happened yet in my home, thank goodness. That's. That's a. That's a long night.

[Katie Greene]

Whenever that happens, stop at the Walmart or the Target. Your choice. Buy a bunch of bathroom sized trash cans, litter them around, seed them around the house, everywhere.

[Michelangelo]

I got one kid that can make it to a trash can when that happens, but one that can't. I've never been. An instant. Like I mentioned, this happened at band practice. I'm sorry, this is gross, but somebody at the band practice the other night vomited all over the drum and then the band teacher was running around. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[Katie Greene]

But I've never. So gross.

[Michelangelo]

I've never had the out of nowhere. Mine's always like way lead up. It's almost like I get an email, you're going to vomit in about a half an hour. And I mean, I got a tremendous lead up and time to deal with it.

[Katie Greene]

You end up having to root for it. Yeah. Can we get this over with, please?

[Michelangelo]

Right. I've never had the just out of nowhere surprises me me. Unless it was drinking, apparently. I've been told that I have had that happen a few times when I was drinking. I'm not aware of this situation, but those would have been described to me all over the inside of my friend's new car. Yep.

[Katie Greene]

Oh, boy, oh, boy. This is apropos nothing. Then we can get onto the business of the day. But JP in central Illinois, where I used to live, just sent this. This tweet from this woman I've never heard of. But this is the entire thing. Violence is not the answer. The answer is opens history book. Oh. Frantically starts flipping through the pages. Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no. Uh. Oh, yeah, I get the point. Yeah, yeah. Violence has never solved anything except Nazism, communism, England's oppression of the colonies, on and on and on and on.

[Michelangelo]

Ending slavery. All kinds of different things. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So much is being made of the moment Trump is having right now where he's never been higher in his life than he is at age 78. The highest approval ratings, the highest people from all quarters coming to try to get, you know, his approval or wanting to wanting his approval. It's just, it's stunning. It's quite stunning. And I'll read through some of the analysis of this today in Mark Halperin's newsletter that I thought was really, really interesting. And you're going to like it if you're a Trump fan. But here's an example of a different Trump, because you can picture other ways he would have answered this. There was. I don't know if the question's in this or not. I'll mention it just in case. It's about Republican senators who don't vote for your Cabinet picks. Are you going to go after them? Are you going to try to, you know, boot them out of office? Here's Trump Senators who oppose your nominees.

[Roku Channel Ad]

Your cabinet nominees, should they be primary?

[Michelangelo]

If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different answer, an answer that you'll.

[Katie Greene]

Be shocked to hear. If they're unreasonable, if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or stupid reasons, I would say has nothing to do with me.

[Michelangelo]

I would say they probably would be, primarily. But if they're reasonable, fair and really disagree with something or somebody, I could see that happening. But I do believe that if they're unreasonable, I think we have great people. I think we have a great, a great group of people. That's not Donald Trump of the last nine years.

[Katie Greene]

No, no. As long as you're reasonable, yeah, we can talk about it.

[Michelangelo]

That is just a new thing. And who convinced him of this? Well, you could ask, how did it take you this long to figure out this is a better way of speaking about things? But who convinced of this? Is it Susie Wiles? Is it his campaign manager, now chief of staff, who is the brush with death? Maybe. Maybe both. I'll read you a couple of these things I thought were really, really interesting. What's happening during this second Trump transition is notable and maybe historic, seminal and auguring for the future of this country. Going through some of the examples here, Trump's underappreciated human intelligence has allowed him to size up the macro situation in some of the individual relationships and herd behavior of certain categories of homo sapiens, business leaders, heads of government, congressional bigwigs, etcetera, to figure out what they want and need from him. He's always had that, but maybe he's just utilizing it better now, while as many opponents in the press and the Democratic Party still, amazingly, don't get this. Trump's issue agenda has significant appeal beyond the say it with me extreme MAGA base and is backed by a broad center right coalition in this country. Border, energy, forever, wars, taxes, deregulation, woke and much, much more. That's probably the number one thing the press doesn't get. He's on the right side of like all the biggest issues in the country.

[Katie Greene]

Right, right. And we looked at poll after poll of issues before the election and you know, in retrospect, it's like, how could Trump lose?

[Michelangelo]

He talks about how Trump is just flat out the second greatest political athlete since Reagan, second only to Bill Clinton, and is using those skills. Points out that Trump went five for six in nomination and generation and general election contests. Yep, three nomination contests got the three nominations, three presidential got two out of three and almost that other one. So that's pretty impressive record actually. And that's your only political record. Trump is a great student of how to obtain and use power in general and within the specific context of the presidency. He is a. His goal is to accomplish things, accomplish the things he wants. It only makes sense that if he is determined at some point, oh, I will be more likely to be successful this way than that way, that he changes his way of doing it.

[Katie Greene]

Right. And even I have to remind myself. Why did I say even? I have to remind myself. What Trump says can make you insane at times, although he's been much more measured as we're discussing. But if you look at the record of things he actually did and accomplished and the way he approached various problems, it's, it's very solid.

[Michelangelo]

It is hard to fit this all together with the guy who claimed, you know, the 2000 mules election stolen, took it all the way to the mat, you know, on all that stuff.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah, yeah, he is an odd and complex dude.

[Michelangelo]

I'd say another point, but I'd rather.

[Katie Greene]

Have that odd and complex dude in the seat when China does something ugly than Joe Biden. But not even close.

[Michelangelo]

Oh, this is a good one. The cultural moment that we are experiencing with the decline of woke culture and the rise of all the attitudes, ideas, characters, themes and memes of the Trump moment is the supercharger on the ascent of Trump's political power. No doubt the dominant media is weaker and more defanged than ever, making Trump's familiar litany of charges against how they operate now seem to many years less like sour grapes and more like righteous truth. From the coverup of Biden's loss of acuity to The ABC News settlement the other day, to the destruction of their business model for newspapers and tv, to the rise of alternative media, to the loss of public trust, all has given Trump the whip hand, the ox whip hand.

[Katie Greene]

If you were listening, the weapon of choice on today's Armstrong and Getty show. Not only that, but, and I'm reminded I keep going back to the various polls we saw prior to the election about the issues as opposed to the candidates. And there was widespread perception among all sorts of people that the law fare against Trump was political and unfair. And I think a lot of people who even, you know, still hung with the mainstream media, saw all the coverage of the coverage of all of those cases and never heard a George Stephanopoulos say, of course, all of this stuff is just going after Trump because for political reasons. And I just, I think that factored in along with, you know, the covering up for Biden's senility. The rest of it got.

[Michelangelo]

Some of these are good. I won't read all of them and bore you with them, but just a couple more of my favorites. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter has leveled much of the high ground Democrats thought they stood on to try to diminish Trump regarding democracy, special treatment, rules of the game, fidelity principle. Absolutely, really, really took a lot of the power that they might have had to be, you know, above Trump away.

[Katie Greene]

I'm telling you, the 11 year pardon is one of the most transparently evil things ever done by a president in certainly in the realm of pardons.

[Michelangelo]

I want to save that one for last because it's one of my favorites.

[Katie Greene]

You're not boring anybody, by the way. I'm enjoying this list.

[Michelangelo]

I'd never heard this before. Trump is a practitioner. Oh, this is the one I definitely wanted to get on because I'd never heard before. Trump is a very hard worker when he needs to be. Unlike George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who did in many instances what they perceived to be just enough to get the task done at hand. Trump leaves his leans his shoulder on the grindstone, several extra beats to make sure if he wants something done. I thought that was interesting. I've never heard that before. Trump is a practitioner of the dictum that if one political actor is constantly moving at 800 miles per hour, then his adversaries cannot keep up with him. In fact, they fall further and further behind. He just goes hard and fast. Yeah, but this is the one I absolutely wanted to do because I think it is so true. And I was actually thinking about this in my car the Other day. Let me find it, because I got a long list here.

[Katie Greene]

He's making a list. He's checking it twice. Gonna tell us why Trump is so nice.

[Michelangelo]

Oh, this one. I love this one. And I was thinking about this when I was hearing more people talk, just endless talk on MSNBC about whether Pete Hegseth is gonna get confirmed or not. Trump is not afraid of failure, which means he can take the risks necessary for success. Another transitioning president elect would be crying over the spilt milk of Matt Gaetz, whereas Trump moved on with the same consideration one would experience and move from eating the fourth tortilla chip to the fifth. Trump, as a guy who had the number one TV show in America and understands media better, he understands the culture and media better than any of these politicians do. He knows this is crap. These inside the Beltway Washington battles where somebody wins and somebody loses. He knows no real person pays attention to this. You can talk all day long on cable news about whether they'll get confirmed or whether it's a Supreme Court justice or Cabinet nominee or whatever, and where they won't and who will win and who will lose. And then when it ends, nobody freaking cares except for you D.C. pundits. Trump knows that he's so much more right about this than they are. You know how many real. Looking back to George W. Bush, he had some, and I only know this because I'm in this business, he had some famous Supreme Court nominee that he put out and got shot down real fast. No real person thinks about that ever, ever, ever, ever, and hasn't since that day. And Trump understands that while D.C. plays the game of, ooh, his nominee might not, not might, might not make it through. He knows that just doesn't matter. He put up a different one. They do.

[Katie Greene]

Right. It's high school gossip in a very real way. And add to those factors the fact that Elon Musk, who he's so close with right now, he is the king of let's try it. If it doesn't work, we'll learn from it. Don't be afraid of failure. So I think you are. You're going to see that spirit.

[Michelangelo]

Yeah.

[Katie Greene]

Which I think is great. Because I tell you what, if you. If you could pick one, the problem with the federal government is that it's too bold and innovative and willing to change itself. Or the opposite. Which would you choose?

[Michelangelo]

Right. They're having the first Doge meeting today with various congressional people. I saw one congressperson, I forget the name, who went and told Mike Johnson, I don't want to be on any committees but the Doge committee. So I hope there's like a fever to be part of the fixing of this problem.

[Katie Greene]

Is that actually going to be a committee? Because I mean Doge is outside the government, but right.

[Michelangelo]

There are going to be. I don't know if it's a, I don't know if you call the committee or whatever. They're going to be. They're going to be congress people involved in I think a committee and then they report to the Doge people. The Doge people have no power to actually get anything done. It's just, it's, you know, it's, it's basically people want to pay attention to how things are spent and not spent and recomm. Make recommendations to Doge.

[Katie Greene]

Sure. It's an independent commission. Has a bully pulpit. That's great. That's very American, right?

[Michelangelo]

And a bully pulpit, as we talked about earlier, according to the Washington Post, the bully pulpit in America through Elon Musk. He's got the loudest political voice in the whole country and can reach the most people the most quickly. So I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, but I'm more optimistic than any other way to go about this. We've got more on the way. Stay tuned.

The food company Post has announced it's launching a new Oreo themed cereal which features crunchy and chocolatey puffs with mini marshmallows. Oh cool. That sounds awesome, said Dentistry.

[Michelangelo]

Oh that sounded horrible. Oh that made my teeth hurt.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah, just. Yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't like pump vitamins into candy and feed it to kids and call it cereal.

[Michelangelo]

A bowl of candy for breakfast.

[Katie Greene]

Wow. Wow. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the very adult drinking of Guinness. Apparently there is a worldwide shortage of delicious Guinness.

[Michelangelo]

I went through a Guinness phase. Really enjoyed it. The black and tan. Oh man.

[Katie Greene]

Oh yeah. Yeah. Pubs up and down in the UK are saying they're running low on Guinness after a surge in demand that caught the beers brewers off guard. Jack. Like everything, it has to do with an Internet trend or craze or sensation or viral something or other.

[Michelangelo]

A challenge.

[Katie Greene]

Exactly. It's called splitting the G. Splitting the G, the social media phenomenon which requires drinkers to down enough Guinness in a single gulp so that the beer sits halfway across the G on the branded Guinness glass.

[Michelangelo]

Gotcha.

[Katie Greene]

And evidently the sheep of the Internet are so numerous and so enthused about whatever craze is put in front of them, it's now caused a like a UK wide shortage of Guinness.

[Michelangelo]

Do you like it with the nitrogen or without?

[Katie Greene]

Either way, not a huge fan. There are other things I'd rather have.

[Michelangelo]

It'll definitely make you fat if you drink much Guinness. It's a lot of calories.

[Katie Greene]

I don't need much help on that. But bigora, they've got to brew up more Guinness. He says in a terrible Irish brogue. Which brings me to this. The Irish and Scots are some of the best on earth of picking out a fake accent. Science for some reason. In the Journal of Evolutionary Human Sciences tested a bunch of people from Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Northeast England, central England, London, Essex, Bristol. If they could pick out who was faking their accent. And you can't fool Irishman or Scotsman.

[Michelangelo]

Interesting.

[Katie Greene]

Probably because it's much more homogenous in London. You got a dozen accents, 15 ethnicities, whatever. But you go to Scotland, fake a Scottish accent, you're going to be on the receiving end of the shillelagh. Or is that Ireland? I can't remember.

[Michelangelo]

Huh. I'm trying to figure out evolutionary, evolution wise, why that would be. There's got to be a reason.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah, I guess it'd be they'll. They'll leave that big trunk they throw around in Scotland, a big red haired man in a skirt will hit you over the head with a big trunk.

[Michelangelo]

I know, I like it. Anytime other people do an American accent, I love that.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, Armstrong and Getty.

The council meeting got ugly. They narrowly approved Mayor Johnson's 2025 budget, which includes a controversial $40 million short term loan for a city already swimming in debt. All part of a chaotic hearing last night. Got so heated, Mayor Johnson actually kicked out the public. This meeting will stay in resource. That's Chicago Mayor. Let's go. Brandon Johnson and people very upset about how much money they're spending on illegals. The report on Fox goes on. One of the main reasons residents are so upset is the Democratic mayor's lack of transparency when it comes to using taxpayer funds to take care of illegal immigrants. Under Mayor Johnson, Chicago has already spent a whopping 527 million taxpayer dollars on the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants living there. Half a billion dollars they've spent on illegals.

[Katie Greene]

So far, it could really be argued the city of Chicago has, checking the Constitution, zero constitutional responsibility for the border. So why would they spend any local money? Why wouldn't they loudly petition the federal government? You caused this. You fix this. I get that there are people on the streets. You can't have children starving. But how? Why isn't everybody outraged by this?

[Michelangelo]

Here's a reporter in Chicago. These real Chicagoans, they made their voices heard. They made it clear they don't trust Brandon Johnson. Mayor Johnson with 50 cents, okay? They know he's just gonna spend that money on migrants and violent teenagers. Brandon Johnson says it himself to your question. I think at least initially it was probably, holy crap, we're a sanctuary city. And now we've got these people here, we gotta get them off the streets and put them somewhere or this is gonna become a problem and everybody's gonna know that the whole sanctuary thing don't work.

[Katie Greene]

Right? Yeah, I was just reading about San Diego's decision to become some sort of sanctuary city on steroids where there is no cooperation with ice. You've got the most horrendous character ever in your jail and you've got to turn them loose for whatever reason. You will just never inform ice. There will never be any voluntary transfer, no notification that somebody's going to get released. You know, you got to get a warrant or we're not going to tell you whether this murder is in our.

[Michelangelo]

Jail, like I said Friday when we covered this or yesterday or. I always say I don't understand how you make this your cause. My cause in life with my limited time and resources is going to be making sure criminals don't get deported who aren't supposed to be here in the first place. That's my cause. Not foster kids. Not, you know, pick, pick, pick all the great causes that exist. This is my one. Some guy who's a rapist who comes in the United States and rapes somebody. They're illegal. I don't want them deported. That's what I'm going to make my cause. You people are weird. Very weird.

[Katie Greene]

I would say you're right. I mean, put a randomly assembled list of 100 different causes in front of people and they would choose that one. That's very strange.

[Michelangelo]

Different topic. I just came across this. PolitiFact is some sort of political something rather. They released their Lie of the Year. Their political lie of the Year. A lie that marked a town and its residents in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd. It was consequential. Our Lie of the Year goes to Donald Trump and J.D. vance for false claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating pet dogs and cats. I don't know who this pundit is who responded, but they're right. I would have gone with Joe Biden is perfectly fine and fit to serve as president again is my Lie of the Year. But that's just me.

[Katie Greene]

I didn't want to blow the punchline or anything. But yeah, political, political. What is it? PolitiFact.

[Michelangelo]

PolitiFact.

[Katie Greene]

PolitiFact is a left wing media hack outfit.

[Michelangelo]

They're honestly on both sides all the way around. They're a lot of lies to compete with Lie of the Year. I mean, you could discuss. But seriously, how does it get much bigger than the current president is okay to be president another four years when you know he's not. Holy crap.

[Katie Greene]

When he's seen island dying. But I don't remember the whole eating the pets thing. Michael, do we have any audio that might.

[Michelangelo]

They're eating the dogs. The people that came in.

[Roku Channel Ad]

They're eating the cats.

[Katie Greene]

They're eating.

[Michelangelo]

They're eating the pets of the people that live there. So he said that in the second debate, which was the first Kamala Harris debate and only Kamala Harris debate. Yeah. Which she roundly trounced him, as everyone saw. And of course was going to go on to victory at that point.

[Katie Greene]

Getting back to sweet home Chicago I grew up right outside the city. I love Chicago. Is just talking about some, talking to rather some fellow part time Chicagoans who are telling stories of crime and how their kids don't want to go to their place anymore. And there was a terrible, terrible incident involving a friend of a friend in which, and I'll keep it vague because it was very traumatic, but their daughter was hassled by guy A on the street corner. Guy B walks up, shoots guy A dead and keeps walking.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Katie Greene]

And they were like, I didn't see nothing. I got no part in this. We were just standing here really. Hey, guy with gun, I can't identify you. Goodbye.

[Michelangelo]

Wow. I don't know what I would do in that circumstance.

[Katie Greene]

Absolute insanity.

[Michelangelo]

Would you do? I think I might do the same thing.

[Katie Greene]

Oh, yes. Well, especially since he has a gun and I don't. I'd be like, dude, you and me are never going to meet again. See you later.

[Michelangelo]

Well, plus, they helped me. I hate to go like wild west, sort of, you know, rules of the game, but you, you helped me out, so good on you.

[Katie Greene]

It was a neighborhood beef, by the way, as it turns out. But anyway, back in Jack, they probably.

[Michelangelo]

Had several beeves over the years.

[Katie Greene]

Okay, folks, that was just an excuse for jack to use the plural of beef, which is again, beeves. Look it up. It is so this is so interesting. They did a study of people who carry guns, including in Chicago. They found that nearly one third of urban residents have carried a concealed firearm by the time they, each, by the time they reach age 40. But there are third. Yes, but there are very different patterns between those who began caring as teenagers versus adults. The teens were carrying guns because they had a serious need to protect themselves from other teens with guns.

[Michelangelo]

Well, can you imagine parenting in a, in a neighborhood where you think, well, I don't want you involved in this sort of stuff, but I think for your own safety, you need to carry a gun. You say to your 16 year old, wow.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah. Yeah. And this, for what it's worth, this study's been going on for something like 30 years as it follows people into adulthood and that sort of thing. Participants from 80 of Chicago's 343 different neighborhoods. Anyway, they say among adolescents, we found a strong association between either witnessing a shooting or being shot or shot at and beginning to carry soon after. The research shows the teenagers who witnessed or experienced gun violence were twice as likely to start carrying a gun themselves. Of course, however, once those teens hit adulthood, large numbers of them stopped carrying guns. They thought, I Don't need it anymore. I've got a job, I've got a family, whatever. I'm not in that life anymore. Whereas people who started as adult carriers started because of a generalized concern about crime and violence they were not victims of or witnesses to gun violence. No direct link that they could find to direct exposure. And they kept carrying and carrying and carrying.

[Michelangelo]

That's interesting. So some of those young people who give up carrying a gun would say to some of those adults, I think, what are you doing carrying a gun? You don't need a gun around here.

[Katie Greene]

Right. Unless you're living a life where people engage in gun play fairly routinely, you're not going to need it.

[Michelangelo]

Hmm, that's interesting.

[Katie Greene]

It is thought provoking.

[Michelangelo]

How different is that kid's childhood than mine who needs to carry a gun?

[Katie Greene]

Yeah, no kidding. No kidding. Thought that was interesting. Chicago so troubled, so desperately in need of law enforcement, better education. The teachers unions are standing in the way of that.

[Michelangelo]

By the way, the school stats out of Chicago are what are the most amazing to me, even with all the shootings, on how the many of the schools you could shut down and there would be no negligible. It'd be negligible difference from the schools being open other than it would save a lot of money. So then at least maybe taxpayers would get back some money to buy a tutor for their kid because your kids were learning literally nothing at school. That's amazing.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah. You know what? Somebody remind me, I want to bring this up again tomorrow. At some point during the show of the soft bigotry of low expectations. And there are some statistics that have come out recently from medical schools and other places. The punchline of it is the response to black kids not achieving is to give them the fruits of achievement, whether they've earned them or not. In my opinion, and I'm right, because actually solving the problems would be uncomfortable and politically incorrect. You would have to say things and do things that make people feel bad. And so instead of doing that, you have bunches of folks graduating medical school, for instance, who got no business being doctors. It's horrible and it dooms. And here's the part that matters. It dooms more generations of young kids, particularly of color in urban areas, to crappy educations and no chance to actually earn the good stuff in life. It's cruel, it's not kind.

[Michelangelo]

That's what hurts my heart, is that. And parents who are either not. I don't know what the right word would be with it enough or just too busy working a Couple of jobs or whatever you're assuming. And you should be able to assume that your kid going to school is learning to read and write and be able to go out in the world when they graduate high school. There's nothing wrong with you assuming that. You should be able to assume that you set your kid to grade school, junior high and high school and they're going to graduate. You should be able to assume that they learned. But because you weren't paying attention, you don't know that they didn't learn any of that stuff. There are schools in Chicago where they have 0% people that meet the proficiency in math and reading and writing.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah, nobody, nobody does.

[Michelangelo]

And those poor parents think they're, they've got, they made their kid go to school, they did the right things and their kids are going to be doomed. I mean, it's just awful.

[Katie Greene]

And then when those parents say, hey, my kid has learned nothing three years in a row. I want the right to take them to a different school. Brandon Johnson and his teacher union buddies all across the country, Randy Weingarten will say no frickin way. No way. You take that kid out of that miserable failure of a school, we won't let you. And they're the progressives, they're the folks who are concerned about young black kids. What a crock of crap, right?

[Michelangelo]

It's just horrifying.

[Katie Greene]

I wish, you know, that there are days I just, I wish I could reach more people with that knowledge. I mean, because once you're aware of it, it's inescapable. I mean, what would be better for the kids? It's just, there's no argument there. But people persist in thinking, yeah, public schools are such a gift to the poor kids and all.

[Michelangelo]

Boy, I don't know how you sleep at night running schools where nobody is learning anything and is going to graduate and then just be standing there looking at the world. How am I supposed to make it? I don't know how you sleep at night. Being part of continuing that.

[Katie Greene]

I know they're evil.

[Michelangelo]

They are evil. They're absolutely evil. We will finish strong.

The FBI Newark office now warning. Don't try to shoot a drone out of the sky. You may be hitting a helicopter, a plane, a legitimate drone. It's a felony. In addition, that debris could cause serious injury or kill somebody on the ground or Santa. It's December. Hello. Somebody's going to shoot Santa out of this guy. That's going to.

[Katie Greene]

No, no.

[Michelangelo]

Shh.

[Katie Greene]

So, Kirby, everybody knows that the bottom of Santa's sleigh is bulletproof.

[Michelangelo]

John Kirby, probably the best spokesman the Biden administration has, was out there yesterday and saying a lot of these are commercial drones doing nothing illegal. I know a lot of them are, but what about all of them? What about the ones that aren't? That's the question. And they say we still don't exactly know what it is, but there's nothing to worry about. Okay, that drives me nuts because those two sentences don't fit together and it still might be something illegal. He said. So here's a mayor of a town in New Jersey responding to Kirby's press conference. We had a briefing yesterday with the White House, FBI, dhs, faa, and they said the same thing. I don't want to speculate, but someone is making a really bad, really bad decision by not coming clean and say that these are our drones. We're doing some sort of an operation. Nothing to see here.

[Katie Greene]

They are safe.

[Michelangelo]

They're saying they're safe, but we see them on top of our reservoir, the schools, the grid. And these are large drones. These are not small drones. These are probably car size, small dining room table size, flying at night with lights on. So that's one of the best answers I've heard yet from this mayor, saying somebody's making a bad decision. I'm not telling you. It's just kind of what Trump said yesterday. He said the military knows what they are. We have the ability to know what they are, he said. I don't know why they're not saying anything.

[Katie Greene]

Let me tweak the John Kirby exchange slightly. Nine, one, one. I just got home. There's a man in my house. Most of the people who come into your house are friends and neighbors or.

[Michelangelo]

Okay, I won't worry about it then.

[Katie Greene]

9, 1, 1. Hey. I just got home and there's a man in my house. Well, we don't know who he is, but we're sure you're not at risk. What the hell? Of course we just Found out that there's going to be a classified briefing of the Intelligence Committee.

[Michelangelo]

Yes, yes. Who is a briefing? Somebody debrief, Obviously. The White House is briefing a House Intelligence Committee today. A little late. Yeah. Is it going to be innocuous? I don't think so. I think it's going to be significant. Not. Not significant in, like, it was a threat or anything like that. I think we're going to find out about some significant military program or technology or threat we're worried about or something.

[Katie Greene]

Yeah. Or test of our abilities, which I hope we're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Michelangelo]

But why wouldn't they tell us? No, we have this drone capability. You know, you've seen what's happening. You see what Iran did to Israel. We just were testing our ability to intercept these sorts of things.

[Katie Greene]

Well, there's Jack and there's Job, and it's kind of close to show with the help of Katie Green and Michelangelo. They're our friends.

[Jack Armstrong]

[Katie Greene]

And they're on our radio. So let's hear their final thoughts before they have to go. Oh, Jackson creeps. Freaky horror show villain thing. He's swaying back and forth with a weird hypnotized look on his face. Oh, that was too creepy. I'll see that in my nightmares. Yeah. Katie's not going to be able to sleep tonight. Thanks.

[Michelangelo]

Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

[Katie Greene]

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things up for the day. Michelangelo, what's your final thought? I had my wife give me some Christmas parts, maybe to pass out co workers or something, but I opened them up and read it and it said, and the best feelings are those of the heart. And I thought, no, this is just too sappy. Sorry. A Katie Greene, our esteemed newswoman, has a final thought.

[Roku Channel Ad]

Katie, I have decided to send out Christmas cards and I gave myself too.

[Michelangelo]

Big of a task and I'm now.

[Roku Channel Ad]

Regretting it, but I'm going to do it anyway, so.

[Katie Greene]

Oh, yeah, Guilt. Guilt feelings. I've been saying I'm going to do it next year for like 25 years. Jack, final thought.

[Michelangelo]

It's funny you'd say that. I figured you did do it. I figured you were that sort of person. I just. I admire other people that do every year, and they send one every single year. They not only got their act together to get the family picture, but then they got it in the mail and got it to me. And I think, you know, I'd like to be that kind of person apparently. I know I wouldn't like to be that kind of person enough to actually do it because I still haven't.

[Katie Greene]

Well, I'm going to do it next year anyway. Came across this, mentioned it early in the show. My final thought is daily calories consumed by America in 1961, it was 2900. By the way, the recommended daily calorie intake for women's 2000. For men, 2500. But it was 2900 back in the day. It's now 3700.

[Michelangelo]

The average calorie intake is 3700.

[Katie Greene]

Where is the obesity coming from? I don't get it.

[Michelangelo]

That's amazing. Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

[Katie Greene]

[Michelangelo]

Yep, absolutely.

[Katie Greene]

Are you sure? Oh, dead sure. I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug.

[Michelangelo]

Get the hell out of here.

[Joe Getty]

Don't you think that's a little odd?

[Michelangelo]

It's 100 on the crazy meter.

[Katie Greene]

Are you? Yep.

[Jack Armstrong]

So let's go out with a bang.

[Michelangelo]
