Transcript

Joe Getty (0:00)

This is an iHeart podcast.

Jack Armstrong (0:15)

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Joe Getty (0:23)

I'm strong and Getty. And now here I'm strong and Getty.

Unnamed Contributor (0:38)

For some reason, it was extra delicious to listen to NPR report how their funding got cut. Last night I really listened to them report on their own funding being cut. Drove to work live from studio C C, Senor, a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And hey, y', all, little Friday, we're under the tutelage of our general manager.

Joe Getty (1:01)

She. I don't know. You got a nominee?

Unnamed Contributor (1:05)

Oh, wow. I don't know. I might go. NPR funding the general manager. I think this.

Joe Getty (1:13)

Wait a minute. Sorry, sorry. Obviously Elmo there.

Unnamed Contributor (1:18)

There you go.

Joe Getty (1:19)

Yeah. General manager. Is Elmo some sort of communist that the fascist Trump administration has got to take him out at his furry red knees?

Unnamed Contributor (1:28)

I was about to say so. Republican presidents and Republican Congresses have claimed they were gonna pull funding from NPR and pbs, but never did it. And just like so many things, only Trump actually has the balls to do it. But part of the pushback has always been Elmo and education for little children. And the Republicans get scared off. Oh, what the hell ever. First of all, Sesame Street's so damn woke now, you can't make that argument. But. And the. The pushback has always been, we don't get that much funding. Well, then fine, deal without it. If it's not that much, you shouldn't get a dollar from taxpayers with that absolutely progressive horse ass that you get to have commercial free in every city in America, including towns that can't afford to have any other kind of media. You got NPR there giving them crap news and I'm paying for it.

Joe Getty (2:22)

Right. Whenever we talk about cutting the funding, they respond by saying, but this is what we do. No, that's what you're supposed to do. You haven't done that for decades. You've been proselytizing for the dismantling of Western civilization for now, 30 years, not to mention insidious racialist policies. Now you've become a monster. You've become such a perversion of what you were. But it's interesting, too, the broader point about the number of things Trump has done, that the powers that be warned us the repercussions would be severe and unmistakable, unpredictable. And whether it's moving or just admitting the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, for instance, the chaos and hate that would unfurl from the now, now, now got.
