Introduction

In the latest episode of Armstrong & Getty On Demand, hosted by Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, listeners are treated to a candid and spirited discussion on pressing political issues, media integrity, and societal trends. Entitled "Does He Wear Panties?", the episode delves deep into the tumultuous relationship between the United States and Canada, critiques mainstream media practices, and touches upon cultural phenomena affecting today’s society.

---

US-Canada Relations Under Scrutiny

[03:18] The episode opens with Armstrong and Getty addressing the escalating tensions between the US and Canada, sparked by comments from former President Donald Trump suggesting that Canada might be better off as the "51st state." Jack Armstrong highlights the fallout from these remarks, emphasizing how they have strained a long-standing friendship and trade partnership.

Jack Armstrong [03:46]: "Marco Rubio doubled down yesterday. 'I haven't seen any indication that they are in better financial shape now.'"

Joe Getty counters by pointing out the flawed portrayal of Canadian immigrants in the media, particularly criticizing the narrative around a two-year-old with cancer being labeled a gang member.

Joe Getty [03:49]: "That's the portrayal of mainstream media."

The hosts discuss the resultant "brain drain," referencing a Wall Street Journal headline about smart Canadians moving to the US for better opportunities. Armstrong attributes this exodus to detrimental fiscal and regulatory policies initiated by Canadian leadership decades ago.

Jack Armstrong [07:23]: "Retaining and attracting skilled, disciplined people who believe in their country's future does."

---

Media Critique and Trust Issues

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting the declining trust in mainstream media. The hosts reference statements made by Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes, critiquing his resignation and the perceived loss of editorial independence due to corporate mergers and political pressures.

Joe Getty [34:40]: "We know, we all know. Literally everyone knows you missed it."

Armstrong and Getty argue that media outlets like 60 Minutes have become compromised, prioritizing corporate interests over unbiased reporting. This sentiment is supported by alarming poll statistics indicating that 92% of Americans lack confidence in mass media to report news fully, accurately, and fairly.

Joe Getty [35:34]: "Clearly true. Between senile Biden and not only misreporting the truth about so many Covid related issues... all had their facts twisted."

The discussion underscores a growing skepticism towards media institutions, attributing it to perceived biases and failures to cover significant stories objectively.

---

Societal Trends and Cultural Observations

Transitioning from politics, Armstrong and Getty explore cultural shifts, notably the resurgence of the "tramp stamp" tattoo among Gen Z. They humorously debate its renewed popularity, reflecting on how societal perceptions evolve over time.

Joe Getty [47:50]: "Apparently young women have decided it's cool again."

Additionally, the hosts touch upon the NBA playoffs, critiquing team performances and the overall structure of the season.

Joe Getty [14:20]: "The NBA playoffs should play better. The NBA playoffs last two months. That's ridiculous."

---

Current Events and Commentary

The episode also covers recent law enforcement actions, specifically a DEA raid in Colorado Springs targeting an underground illegal nightclub. Armstrong provides a detailed account of the operations, arrests, and the implications of sanctuary policies.

Jack Armstrong [44:40]: "Aliens in our country. Arrested them, two with warrants, 12 guns seized."

Getty emphasizes the need for stricter enforcement of federal laws concerning sanctuary cities and states, predicting significant legal battles in the Supreme Court.

Joe Getty [47:13]: "Can you do this? Can you be a sanctuary city or state? I can't."

---

Notable Quotes

• Jack Armstrong [07:24]: "He doesn't wear panties."

  (In reference to Pierre Poliev, highlighting his association with Trump-like politics and questioning his capabilities as Canada’s prime minister.)

• Joe Getty [31:01]: "You realize that? I mean, you all hate Trump, but you're the number one reason he got elected, probably because you lied to everybody and obviously lied."

• Jack Armstrong [36:30]: "Between senile Biden and not only misreporting the truth about so many Covid related issues... all had their facts twisted."

---

Conclusion

In "Does He Wear Panties?", Armstrong & Getty offer a sharp, unfiltered examination of international relations, media integrity, and cultural dynamics. Their candid dialogue, punctuated by humor and pointed criticism, provides listeners with a thought-provoking perspective on the current socio-political landscape. The episode not only highlights the challenges in US-Canada relations and diminishing media trust but also underscores the hosts' commitment to holding power structures accountable.

For those seeking an unapologetic and insightful commentary on today's hottest issues, this episode of Armstrong & Getty On Demand is a must-listen.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty Ready.

[Joe Getty]

So much radio goodness for you. I mean a six pound show at a five pound bag. That's what we've got crafted for you to kick off a brand new week.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Going to be really challenging to squeeze it all in. We ought to talk about the giant bust of illegal immigrants including many, many gang members, guns, drugs, etc and charming Colorado Springs. The budding relationship between the US and India. That might be among our most important going, you know, through the next 50 years.

[Joe Getty]

Joe doesn't want to talk about the 2 year old who was booted out of the country without due process, who has cancer. That's the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That two year old was a gang member. I'm fine with it.

[Joe Getty]

That's the portrayal of mainstream media. Marco Rubio has a different take on that story. We can get to later this hour.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes, yes. But first, a brand new featurette. And because I like to put names on featurettes, we need to choose a name. And Michael, I'm going to leave this up to you. You know how we have a look in the China cabinet about stories about China? Yeah. Well, these are all stories about Canada.

[Joe Getty]

I got it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I got it already. Well, you've got it. I have three choices here.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I had my own, but go ahead. Well, let's, let's hear your. What's yours? Moose musings. Oh, Lord.

[Joe Getty]

Moose musings from Canada.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wow. Well, let's, you know what, we'll take your consideration under, under advisement and keep it on file. Here are your three choices. Opening a can of Canada. Not good. Two Canada More than snow and Moose. Another moose reference. Or yes, We Canada.

[Joe Getty]

I like that. I do.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that one's good.

[Joe Getty]

That is pretty good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Welcome to yes We Canada, a look at our neighbo the North. That's a very churchy version of the national anthem.

[Joe Getty]

Canada does have a cool national anthem that I only hear if the Toronto Blue Jays are in the World Series or the, you know, if you're a.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hockey fan, you hear it all the time. Yeah, that's. I hate to interrupt it and cause more strength between our two countries. So here are a couple stories about Canada. Label Obsession Grips. Canada shoppers have shunned American products. You know, maybe I shouldn't have led with that one. The Trump unnecessarily humiliating Canada over and over again. This is my opinion, in the name of humiliating young Mr. Trudeau. Pennywise Trudeau there has turned Canada staunchly against the United States. A lot of Canadians because they are patriots and they're proud of their country. And there was just no reason to bait them like that. But probably most significantly, Marco Rubio doubled.

[Joe Getty]

Down on that yesterday. What'd he say on Face the Nation? Well, he was asked about does Trump want to make Canada the 51st state? And, and Marco said, well, the reason for this was Canada saying that they can't support themselves with their current blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so Donald Trump just made the point that, well, if you can't support yourself financially on your own, maybe you should become the 51st state. And he said, I haven't seen any indication that they are in better financial shape now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So yeah, that is absolutely why he said that. But he laid it on a bit thick, in my opinion. One of our closest friends and trading partners has now been turned against us. And old Pierre Poliev, who I liked very much, who looked like a shoo in to be the next prime minister because he is somewhat associated with Trumpiness. And the left Labor Party has gone full on anti Trump. It looks like they might win the next election, which is this week actually. But we'll see, we'll see. Polls are often misleading.

[Joe Getty]

And this guy, that if he won, the left guy won, would he be to the left of Trudeau?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hard to say. He's a much more practical guy. He's a banker and diplomat and doesn't wear panties.

[Joe Getty]

Does he wear panties?

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know what? There he is in a pink tie. Maybe Jerry's still out. So we'll have to see how that election goes. But evidently, boycotting American products has really taken hold in Canada. Canada has a label fixation. As tensions with their neighbors rise, Canadians are turning away from US Made products to appeal. Increasingly anti American shoppers, brands and retailers are touting and in some cases embellishing their Canadian credential in a practice that's become known as maple washing or maple glazing.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. I always wonder to what extent this stuff is actually happening. I remember after France wouldn't help us in the Iraq war, there was the whole freedom fries thing, which was more, which was more words than. I don't know. I mean, did you, did you abandon French fries? I don't know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, no, I should, but I didn't. Labels like designed in Canada, prepared for Canada, distilled in Canada, and proudly serving Canadians are proliferating, puzzling shoppers looking for country of origin information. Anyway, so that's a thing. How long it's a thing and how big a thing? I don't know, let's see, we already did that. And then I thought this was interesting. Here's a headline from the Wall Street Journal, why smart Canadians are fleeing for the U.S. and this is to the truth behind what Trump said and what Rubio was, was echoing. Although sometimes you can do the right thing in the wrong way. And I still say there was no reason to alienate our good buddies, the Canadians. But the subhead to this article is it started with Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre, who destroyed accountability in Ottawa. And this is the interesting part to me. And they quote, actually, Jack, what you're describing. When Justin Trudeau responded to Trump's suggestion that the threat of tariffs might prompt Canada to spend more on defense and border protection, Trudeau said, Canada cannot then survive as a nation state. And Trump said, well, maybe Canada be better off as the 51st state.

[Joe Getty]

I still find that funny.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It is. Look, just because it's funny doesn't mean you should have said it. Didn't your dad say that to you at some point?

[Joe Getty]

Many times.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Yeah, as did mine. Anyway, and they go into Canada. 40 million people, enormous natural resources, vast swathes of land, natural wealth, blah, blah, blah. And Trudeau thought a tariff renegotiation could be the end of his country. I mean, come on now. But this is where it gets so interesting. Missing in debates about free trade and tariffs is discussion about the movement of people, people between us and Canada. The Census Bureau says 126,000 Canadians moved to the U.S. in 2022, which is up from 75,000 2012. That's almost double. It's two thirds more. Among those headed south are Canada's top technical talents, attracted by high salaries, wide varieties of work, and greater career options. You got the University of Waterloo software engineering class that sits one of the top ones up there. More than 70% accepted jobs in the US and a calculation puts the wealth transfer from the exodus of so many smart young Canadians at tens of billion dollars a year, if not hundreds of billions, it's difficult to put a financial value on that. But if all of your best and brightest say, yeah, thanks for the education buy, I'm off to the states. Sure, the numbers floating around the tariff debate are a rounding error compared to the brain drain numbers. And the weakening of Canada has a lot to do with the disastrous fiscal and regulatory policies started by old man Trudeau in the 70s. And that's when Canada's brain drain began. And accountability's never been restored. And here's the part that's all about governance. If Canada wants stronger negotiation positions on trade. It should reform domestic fiscal and regulatory policies to retain talent and attract more from the rest of the world. Instead, Canada is trying to force people to stay. This week, Quebec's provincial government passed a bill compelling new doctors to spend their first five years of their careers working in Quebec's public health network.

[Joe Getty]

Wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And doctors who take a job in the private sector move to another province before their five years are over, face fines of as much as two daily fines of up to 200,000 Canadian dollars per day.

[Joe Getty]

When you're having to fine or threaten people to get people to stay in your country, that's a problem.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I would say tariffs and taxes don't make societies prosper. Retaining and attracting skilled, disciplined people who believe in their country's future does. Think of 17th century Amsterdam, post war West Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel and the US all experienced a massive in migration of drain of brains. All had decentralized deep financial markets and decentralization, I should say, and gradual access to welfare benefits. Not you move in and you've got free welfare like Canada does. They're even worse than us. Restricting the movement of people only leads to morose unstable societies that blame others for their failures. I had never heard a word about the brain drain from Canada. I found that very enlightening. That's your yes, we Canada.

[Joe Getty]

I like it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A moose noise and then it ends. I don't know, Michael something.

[Joe Getty]

A moose noise.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The bellow of the mighty moose.

[Joe Getty]

So whenever I drive away from my house, my, my house. That's funny.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh wow. It's like Canadian is infectious, right?

[Joe Getty]

We talk about Canada and that just slips into my vocabulary.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It slipped out of you.

[Joe Getty]

When I drive away from my hoose, I'm happy to see my simply safe sign that alerts people that I've got cameras indoors, outdoors, active guard, live protection there going on that keeps my house safe. And it costs about a dollar a day, which is amazing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, it's amazing. Especially given the technology that's behind their monitoring. And FBI crime data shows break ins are more likely during the day than under the cloak of night, which is interesting. So you got Simplisafe Active guard Outdoor protection that helps prevent break ins before they happen. AI powered cameras backed by live professional monitoring agents monitor your property, deter suspicious act or detect suspicious activity.

[Joe Getty]

So we were my son and I were in San Francisco Saturday night when the warriors were playing in the NBA playoffs and they were just down the street and I wish I had popped into my head, I'd have gotten a ticket, gone to a game we I really should have done that. Anyway, Steph Curry looked like he was 25 and not 35 and warriors up to one. But Lakers are down 3:1 in their first round series. That's bad news for the NBA if their biggest stars get eliminated.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Anywho.

[Joe Getty]

The NBA playoffs should play better. The NBA playoffs last two months. That's ridiculous.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Duh.

[Joe Getty]

That's ridiculous. That's like a season.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes.

[Joe Getty]

And teams make the playoffs who are way below.500.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Also, that's also a. What is the word? Joke.

[Joe Getty]

So we never got to Scott pelley, who ended 60 Minutes last night with a bit of a blast about you never got to Scott Pelly independence in journalism and how important it is. Which is kind of funny on the heels of a few things 60 Minutes has done in the last couple of years.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But it's kind of funny on the.

[Joe Getty]

Heels and if you're gonna do a Scott Pelley, you gotta wear a tight dress shirt with your big giant arms.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So everybody knows giant arms.

[Joe Getty]

I'm not sure everybody can see my biceps in this shirt. Do we have a Can we tailor.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This shirt a little tighter? What? Scott, the fabric is straining to contain your guns.

[Joe Getty]

So that and other stuff on the way. Stay here.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We should pump the brakes on the.

[Joe Getty]

New trend of selling pharmaceuticals by way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Of promotional tie ins with movies for children. Yeah that's right. Snow White has partnered with Allegra because.

[Joe Getty]

Allegra helps you not be sleepy or Sneezy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Get it? So, kids, remember, if you're bashful, try Ritalin.

[Joe Getty]

If you're dopey, take Adderall.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And if you're grumpy, ask Doc if Prozac is right for you. Some fine chicken jokes, but, yeah, that. That movie's got to partner with something. Well, he's going to see it.

[Joe Getty]

Those are, as you pointed out, some good dwarf jokes based on their nicknames. But am I bothered that major pharmaceutical company is joined with a promotion of a movie? I don't think I am. Of all the things I need to be worried about in the world, that's not one of them.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It was an excuse to get to those jokes.

[Joe Getty]

Could be those.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Those dwarfs, they get their nickname, like Sneezy. What if I have a cough? Hey, let's call him Coffee for the rest of his life. Whoa, dude. I've got, like, a respiratory thing for a week, and now I'm Cougho. That's Sneezy. Please.

[Joe Getty]

I might be Coffee. I've been sick for going on three weeks. Same disease for three weeks. Although I get sick easily, I'm weak. The herd should kick me to the side and let the lions eat me.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, we're having the final vote today because of that.

[Joe Getty]

But anyway, so Bill Maher, Friday night, hbo, he has Al Gore on who Al Gore was elected as vice president 32 years ago. Is that right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

And is still a year long younger than our current president. That's quite shocking, the math on that. Anyhoo, he was talking to Bill Maher about the Internet, and you really did. You really were instrumental in the Internet.

[Scott Pelley]

I never claimed to have invented it, but not invented it, actually. Moving the. What was a small network in the Defense Department to public access that became the Internet was something that I worked on with others when I was in the House and the Senate. And then it really came into fruition after I got into the White House. But we passed legislation putting a billion dollars a year into it, and that's what really lifted it up.

[Joe Getty]

As I say, you're the devil for doing that. Well, they really went after you for that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Scott Pelley]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And you know, the Internet, we all.

[Joe Getty]

Use it every day, honest to God. Not being jokey here. Are we better off with the Internet or without it? That is, I think we're better off without it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If there were a way to achieve some of the positives that avoided the negatives, I would be in favor of.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Willing to spend time and money to pursue it.

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. There are tremendous benefits.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But if don't give me, you know, some youth feel more connected thanks to social media. Go to hell.

[Joe Getty]

Well, you didn't give that person much time. I. If it destroys society, which it's working on, I think.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't know.

[Joe Getty]

No positives outweigh that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do they not really know.

[Joe Getty]

If people stop having kids because of Internet porn and human beings go away, you can't say. Yeah, but it was easier to read the New York Times. I mean, come on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right, right. I get pictures of my grandchildren more quickly. Okay, wait, wait. You don't have any grandchildren in this scenario. Yeah. What a.

[Joe Getty]

That might be among the most consequential decisions humankind ever made. Right up there with Split in the Atom is deciding to fund taking that primarily military academic thing and making it available to everyone.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but you know, the AI will kill us while the Internet is still working at killing us, so.

[Joe Getty]

But would we. Would AI be a. The thing that it will be without the Internet? I'm not, I don't know if you can separate them like that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, Bill.

[Joe Getty]

Mark clearly had the attitude of you're, you're the devil for bringing us in. And I think a lot of people feel that way.

So thumbs up and point. Two very different hand gestures, right? I would have taken off to steal second and they'd have been like, what are you doing? Get thrown out by a mile. I thought you gave me the slide. That's the steel signal. No, that's the stay there, you idiot.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Get on the bench, Armstrong.

[Joe Getty]

You're a loser. The White House correspondence dinner was over the weekend. I didn't even know it happened. And it got no attention because Trump doesn't do them, remember? And for good reason. I mean, it would just be ridiculous because they all hate him so much and they're so incredibly unfair. I mean, there'd be no fun in it. It would just be vicious hatred, show.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Up to be abused. Yeah, sounds great.

[Joe Getty]

Of course, the interesting thing about the White House Correspondents Dinner is that's what started the whole thing. Trump at 1, while Obama was President Obama making fun of Trump because Obama was pissed off about the whole birth certificate thing. Trump sitting there stewing as everybody laughed at him. And there grew the kernel of hatred that became his presidential run. The rest is history. Speaking of the media, so. Oh, we're going to play a little bit of the lead speaker was a guy from Axios calling out the media for not doing a good job. And I guess we have it. Let's listen to it now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

President Biden's decline and its cover up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story, and some people trust us less because of it. Wow. We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows.

[Joe Getty]

I want to talk to these people. I think he's sincere.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I want to talk to him and say, dude, let me tell you how it looks to the rest of us. It looks like you'd have to be mentally to not pick up on the fact that the president was completely out of it. And you know what my proof is? 85% of America agreed with me and not you and your other media people. How do you explain that?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, he's quite correct, but it feels like you walk into a room and there's a guy clutching an axe surrounded by dead bodies, and he says, you know what? I need to admit I think I have an anger problem. Well, it's true as far as it goes, but come on, buddy.

[Joe Getty]

I don't think there's any answer he could give other than we're so married to the idea of pushing our political point of view that we blind ourselves to obvious things. I've blinded myself to some obvious things in my life, so I know it can happen. It's highly troubling when you come to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

A realization because you wonder human condition. Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

You wonder, how many other things have I done this with or I'm doing right now? It's highly troubling.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But if I might punch up your script for a second, I would say you need to admit that you will miss stories that are so enormous, historic and career making. They would be great for you as a journalist, but you ignore them because they make you uncomfortable politically.

[Joe Getty]

Well, I don't know if they would have. I think if you'd have stuck your neck out, you'd have been. You'd had your head cut off, you'd have lost your job.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ah. You'd have gotten a gig hosting an evening show on Fox News and become rich.

[Joe Getty]

That is wild, though. We missed a story.

[Lenovo Representative]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

One of the biggest stories in US History that again, everybody else saw. It's not like it was a 5050 issue out in the country or nobody knew and you should have uncovered it or something.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right, right. Not the water keep breaking. Good lord. Yeah, I know. How about that? Pull that bad and kept care.

[Joe Getty]

I think that fits in a little bit with what you're about to hear from Scott Pelley. So we mentioned last week the guy who runs 60 minutes resigned or stepping down. He's leaving his job, and they've only had three people in that job since the early 60s when 60 Minutes started it. It's not like there's high turnover rate in that job. He feels like he, he. His statement last week was the, the. He doesn't have independent control now to do whatever he wants. He's being told what stories he can cover and what can't cover. All right, so I guess Scott Pelly, one of the lead hosts on 60 Minutes, felt like at the end of the show he needed to weigh in.

[Scott Pelley]

Bill resigned Tuesday. It was hard on him and hard on us, but he did it for us and you. Stories we pursued for 57 years are often controversial lately. The Israel, Gaza war and the Trump administration. Bill made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough that way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, he did.

[Scott Pelley]

Our parent company Paramount is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories has been blocked. But Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing. He was the right person to lead 60 minutes all along.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, so both things are true. Yes. They're trying to curry favor with the Trump administration. So the DEA or Justice Department or FEC or FCC approves the murder. Meanwhile, the idea that we have been honest and true and fair and balanced all these years, and now our overlords are twisting our arms. You're ridiculous, Scott.

[Joe Getty]

That is hilarious. Really. I mean, come on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

Wow. Especially now. I mean, because there have been stories in the last couple of months that we remarked on on Monday mornings. Like, did you see that on 60 Minutes last night? Oh, my God. How about they talk to one person with a different point of view on this story? I mean, it was. He did this for himself and for us and for you. Oh, vomit. Vomit.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah. We could get back into the numbers, which are quite astounding of people's attitudes about the media, which have declined because of this.

[Joe Getty]

Because of what you just heard.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, both things. The guy from Axios. We missed a big story.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What?

[Joe Getty]

Scott Pelosi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We know, we all know. Literally everyone knows you missed it. We were talking about it while you were missing it. Right?

[Joe Getty]

Yeah. It's not like. It's not like we even kept a secret. We were waving our. Hey, have you noticed how the president is senile?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he's sharper than ever. And if you don't like it f you. This is the best Joe Biden ever.

[Scott Pelley]

Don't mess with him in work unless.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You want to get the benefit.

[Joe Getty]

And then the 60 minutes things a little more subtle because I'm sure there are people on the left who think 60 minutes is playing it fair down the line, but that's not the way most of America feels about a lot of those stories on 60 Minutes. And so you claiming being fair was his ultimate goal every single day. What are you talking about? So you end up with these poll numbers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Do you have a great deal of trust and confidence in the mass media when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly. 92% of Americans say no. Only 8% responded thumbs up to that. That sentiment. And in response, well, actually almost five times as many Americans. Four and a half times as many Americans say I have no confidence at all.

[Joe Getty]

I would be in that group.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Clearly true. Between senile Biden and not only misreporting the truth about so many Covid related issues, from the shutdown to the lab leak, to the kids being vectors to the schools being closed. Far from just missing all of those truths they aggressively stamped out wherever they could find it, anybody was telling the truth.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and then how many times did you have to hear during the campaign Donald Trump, who promised a bloodbath if he loses.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

I mean, there's so. There are so many examples of you're not even trying.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Right, right. That's how blind and bubble there. So, yeah. Anyway. That's cute, Scott. All right, fine. You've become insufferable in a shadow of what you once were. And Paramount is Saying, hey, dudes, you've become a joke. You gotta hew a little closer to the center just so you're, you're, you get your blinders off. And for that, Scott Pelly talks in his sad voice.

[Joe Getty]

Well, and they left out that Redstone woman who is the incredibly wealthy daughter who owns cbs. She, she said, oh, some of these stories you've done recently, what the heck?

[Ryan Seacrest]

She.

[Joe Getty]

She could see them.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Israel, Palestine conflict, and the Trump administration. Oh, yeah, because your coverage of those two things has been just spot on. Scotty boy, please, you're a joke.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, and I don't think he's being. I don't think he's lying. I think he believes it. Just like that Axios guy. Watch out for self delusion. Watch out for self. You're deluding yourself almost certainly about something right now today. Try to figure out what it is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Axios did some of the best mainstream coverage of Joe Biden's senility. I think that guy is just trying to bring his friends along because there's friends. Yeah, he's being a bit more gentle than I might be.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, I was watching the video as he said that, and the crowd didn't look like they were particularly digging that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wow, that delusional.

[Joe Getty]

I would love to have been there and not. And not been snarky. Just saying. I mean, you, you all, you literally got Trump elected. You realize that? I mean, you all hate Trump, but you're the number one reason he got elected, probably because you lied to everybody and obviously lied.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's not true. That is absolutely so.

[Joe Getty]

Doesn't that bother you on that face? Since this is not the result you wanted, Wouldn't you like to be more accurate just for that reason?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, you know, that reminds me. I came across this. I'm glad I thought of it. You remember Nina Jankowicz? She was going to be the misinformation czar in the Biden White House until it was discovered that she was just a flaming progressive nutball. But. So she was doing a speech in front of the EU Parliament about Russian misinformation, disinformation, that sort of thing. She says, before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy, the United States of America. And again, this is the woman appointed by the Biden administration to be the top sensor in charge of drawing the lines between what is appropriate speech and what should be cut out of social media. Standing up there saying, America is no better than Russia.

[Joe Getty]

All Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right.

[Joe Getty]

Which is the problem, of course, with the whole censorship idea. Who gets to do the censoring?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yes. And anybody who can't see that is so stupid. You should refrain from joining in the conversation. The adults are talking.

[Joe Getty]

About the fact that Deion Sanders kid, who at one point people thought would be the number one pick in the NFL draft, went in the fifth round over the weekend. If you follow sports. Big story. If you follow sports.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shocking.

[Joe Getty]

Because of his attitude. They didn't like his attitude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's the, that's the inside word. He did a, an interview with a NFL coach. He allegedly had his headphones around his neck, but with music playing, wearing a big gold chain that said legend, I think, or something like that. And the coach said he came off as incredibly entitled and, and full of self regard in a way that was incredibly off putting.

[Joe Getty]

Okay, so you're acting like your dad acted, except your dad had already proved he was one of the best players in the history of the NFL when he started talking.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And evidently, you know, it's a small industry. Word got around.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Joe Getty]

Wonder what dad thought of that. How about you leave the headphones on the bus?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, and he took a video call in the middle of the interview. Wow. Now this is from a pretty good source. I have close to a source that's close to.

[Joe Getty]

That's not a sports thing. That's a your kid who's going to go out looking for a job someday thing. Yeah, teaching me. Can't be all cocky and whatnot. That's pretty good. More on the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

A massive raid in Colorado springs. More than 300 federal agents breaching what authorities say was an underground illegal nightclub at as part of a drug investigation.

[Scott Pelley]

What was happening inside was significant. Drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes of violence.

[Jack Armstrong]

All of this the results of a months long investigation. The DEA says ICE took more than 100 people who they say were here illegally into custody.

[Joe Getty]

100 people arrested at an underground club full of illegals. Many, many of them Ms. At 13 according to the Trump administration.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, who would you quote? They're the ones who busted them anyway. Yeah. So huge hotbed of illegal immigrants, please. Underground nightclub. It was a big building full of people drinking and dancing and parking their cars and the rest of it.

[Joe Getty]

And it's Colorado sex for money, also known as prostitution.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Good Lord. And because Colorado is super sanctuary, E, I'm sure the good people in the Colorado Springs Police Department were prevented from doing much about it. The attorney general spoke out on this. 71, Michael. During the Biden administration, they received 179, 11 calls to that club alone. That club, we were just watching 170 calls. Wouldn't you think that would have been a red flag? Nothing happened. Guns, shootings, ag batteries, nothing happened. So under Donald Trump, DEA, FBI, U.S. marshals, ATF, ICE, everyone went in together. DEA led this investigation, went in, got 115 illegal immigrants.

[Amica Insurance Representative]

Right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Aliens in our country. Arrested them, two with warrants, 12 guns seized.

[Joe Getty]

12 guns. Of course, I don't know how many guns are in the average nightclub actually. Might be. It might be about the average.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. It depends where you go. Interestingly enough, there were some active duty US Military folks, about a half dozen found at the club working as armed security or patrons. And the military justice people are going to take a look at that. Nobody's been detained, not under arrest so far. They're just working a side hustle. I guess that's the sort of thing that exists and functions in your sanctuary environments. And Trump just told the Justice Department put together a list of sanctuary cities and states. We're going to take a serious look at this, funding wise, especially.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, this, this is needed to come to a head at the Supreme Court for a long time. Can you do this? Can you be a sanctuary city or state? I can't. I can't believe we haven't looked at this yet, decided you can ignore federal law or not. I have a feeling they're going to say, no, no, you don't get to do that any more than you could say we don't allow the second Amendment here or anything else.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that'll be an interesting case to follow. I've got a preview of some of the cases the court is going to be looking at this year because there are some blockbusters coming down line. Also next hour. The idea of due process and deportations are really interesting and wise contrarian view.

[Joe Getty]

Also next hour. Gen Z is bringing back the tramp stamp. Apparently young women have decided it's cool again.

[Ryan Seacrest]

My interaction with the. The small of young women's backs is extremely limited. This these days. I didn't know the tramp stamp had left.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, you didn't? Oh, no, it's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Getty]

There's a reason it's called the tramp stamp. It had, it had been popular way back in the, what, early 90s and then it had become the sort of thing that you get removed or don't want people to see and really seen as kind of low rent. And now it's making a return, huh? Also, how much time I got my I got another good thing for our Ford. You'll have to take my word for it. So we do four hours every single day.
