[Joe Getty]

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

[Michael]

And now he Armstrong and Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

So before we go to our London bureau for a special guest, I'm a little bit embarrassed that I had to look this up, but I think for most of my life I would use Great Britain and England interchangeably, not knowing that they were different things. I think that happens with a lot of people. Great Britain means. If you say Great Britain, you mean England, Scotland and Wales. Those three places are Great Britain. But if you say uk, I didn't know this. If you say the United Kingdom, it's those places plus Northern Ireland. So Great Britain's three countries. United Kingdom is four countries. Okay, I didn't know that and I probably won't remember it anyway. In England, Joe Getty, the other half of the Armstrong and Getty show, probably in London. How are you this morning? Joe?

[Michael]

I am indeed in London and it is five o' clock in the evening here, roughly. I am ridiculously jet lagged and sleep deprived but otherwise in fine fettle.

[Jack Armstrong]

Still, after we got there Friday.

[Michael]

No Saturday morning, late Saturday morning here for some Reason? I just couldn't sleep last night. Wired too much espresso or something. But anyway, I celebrated total sleeplessness by walking for six hours straight with sweet wife around London town today. It's a good idea, seeing a museum and that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

So did you. Five. Five o' clock in the afternoon. Are you supposed to do afternoon tea or some BS or something?

[Michael]

I could use a beer. Yeah, I think we may do high tea at some point. Depends on how hard my wife twists my arm. But mostly we've just. We did the British Museum today.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's. That's awesome. That's one of the greatest museums in the world. Oh, it's.

[Michael]

It's breathtaking. It's. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I hadn't done a lot of research, honestly. But their collection of antiquities from the ancient world. You're. You're Goths and Visigoths, you're Romans, you're Greeks, et cetera. Your Persians, throwing a few Persians there. And Assyrians. Yeah, it's. It's amazing though. I saw the. The oldest book that exists and the oldest library and I was gazing at the Rosetta Stone. The actual thing, just. Just amazing.

[Jack Armstrong]

So how is the weather?

[Michael]

It's balmy. It's absolutely beautiful. 75. There are no bugs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's not. No, it's not. That's Fahrenheit. What is it in Celsius?

[Michael]

Let's see the air conditioner set at 22, whatever that means.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh my God. That's warm or cold? I don't know.

[Michael]

Yeah, I don't know. It's fairly comfortable.

[Jack Armstrong]

Honey, the air conditioner set at 22. What do we do? We'll die.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I don't want to get into serious stuff, really, but I just. Katie mentioned there were huge anti immigration protests over the weekend. Did you? Are you become aware of that? No, not really.

[Michael]

We saw cops going here and there and we saw somebody sporting. They don't look like bobbies, they just look like cops.

[Jack Armstrong]

You're talking Fahrenheit and cops. I just don't know. You're not taking to England?

[Michael]

No, not yet. But yeah, we saw a couple of smallish protests. They didn't seem to be anti immigration protests. But here's something interesting for you. Every Londoner we have talked to for an extended period, be they Uber driver, tour guide, waiter, etc. Has mentioned the immigration situation.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really? Unprompted.

[Michael]

I didn't ask them about it. In describing various things to see and do in London, it comes up that's pretty interesting. And I tell you what it's not. These damned anti immigrant jerks are. No, it's like you probably don't want to go there and over here. You hear a lot, frankly. It's funny, I'm hesitating to say this out loud, but what it was said to me, you hear a lot of so many Arabs.

[Jack Armstrong]

Really.

[Michael]

It's funny, they refer to them as Arabs mostly, but. Yeah, yeah, it's. It's interesting. There is tension, no doubt.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Well, that's good information. I didn't know. I suppose I never thought about it. They have Uber in London.

[Michael]

Oh yeah?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, exactly the same. Using the same app you used here.

[Michael]

Oh yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay.

[Michael]

Easy peasy. No lift though. Don't even try. I'll tell you another thing about London is it is more teeming with humanity than. Well, it's like Times Square in New York in the summertime or like Union Square in San Francisco before it got all poopy. I mean, just millions and millions of human beings everywhere. Oh, really? It's unbelievable. Yeah. I mean you can still have a good time and see the sights and, and such, but it's, it's. It's a thriving metropolis. No doub. And today's some sort of. Or this weekend a giant bank holiday, they call it. It's a three day end of summer holiday. So it's. It's extra crazy.

[Jack Armstrong]

What have you been eating?

[Michael]

A lot of fish and chips. No joke.

[Jack Armstrong]

I know when I. When I was in England I had fish and chips every meal and they were all different, which was interesting. Well, right.

[Michael]

Yeah, we, we like to. When like in Mexico, we'd always try the guacamole. And when I was in Vienna, not that I travel that much. It sounds like I'm some sort of world traveler, but I'm not. I would try the wiener schnitzel everywhere we went.

[Jack Armstrong]

What did you eat when you were in Hambur Burg?

[Michael]

A hot dog. But yeah, it's. And had a couple of pints and as I mentioned last week, I guess we had dinner with our next door neighbors at home last night here in London. They. They happen to be here too. So. That was. That was delightful. It was funny.

[Jack Armstrong]

What, what beer are you drinking that they have on tap there?

[Michael]

You know, honestly, I. I can't even.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's not Bud Light, is it?

[Michael]

Oh, good lord, no. No. I did have a Peroni at lunch today. That's an Italian lager, I think. But you know, I'll go in and you know Order whatever's on tap and they'll do that weird tap that's not even refrigerated and it's like more of a pump than a right like electrified American tap. But I do enjoy the pub thing though. I remember you saying how much you enjoyed Epic in your drinking days. I love the atmosphere.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, it's very, very cool.

[Michael]

Yeah, it's, it's, you know, quietish. Unless there's a soccer match going. I'm sorry, football. Football match going on. And just, I don't know, it's, it's, it's good. I like it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. Michael has a question. Yeah. Do you constantly hear the Benny Hill theme? Streets of England and you're walking one.

[Michael]

And a half speed.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's right, yeah.

[Michael]

No, Michael, no. For God's sake.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that is funny.

[Michael]

We did the big double decker bus trip, bus tour thing yesterday. Just rode around more or less all day. I never did that and saw the sights. It was fun, it was good. You know, just get the lay of land, get in, get a mental picture of the city and how it lays out and make mental notes of places you want to go back to. Got an eight and a quarter hour walking tour tomorrow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Michael]

So all day. Sucker. Yeah. I don't know what I was thinking. That's a lot of hours. God help me.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey. Anyway, I, I yelled at an old man at sailing lessons, so you missed that story.

[Michael]

Oh really?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Michael]

You haven't come any old bastard.

[Jack Armstrong]

The old man in the sea. He was about to be. The old man in the sea. Yeah, he had it coming. He kept telling me what to do. Me and him were sharing a boat.

[Michael]

Telling you what to do?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, I certainly don't, I don't like some guy who's also in the beginning sailing class telling me what to do. Yes. K. Katie.

[Katie Green]

Yeah, Joe. This man has no name. He's just known as Sir.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I yelled at him, sir. I'm going to do what the instructor told me to do, Sir. Wow.

[Michael]

Well, there you go. Sorry it turned ugly.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, me too. Anyway, back to England.

[Michael]

So Katie might be interested in this. It's a never ending fashion show. Walking the streets here. I guess most big cities are really, but because it's, you know, the cosmopolitan euro and you know, just. Yeah. Good lord, the things the women wear. It's amazing. Everything from the full beekeeper to like. Are they filming a porn around here? A porn and like, you know, that's, that's within five people walking by you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Michael]

I've never seen so many navels. In my life before. But it's very summery here in. In London.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, as Samuel Johnson said, when a man is tired of London, he's tired of life. You can drink at the pub where he used to write all that stuff. By the way. Maybe you've done that. Oh, you know what I did.

[Michael]

Oh, I was thinking of you. I gotta send you the pictures. I. I stood next to the desk where Karl Marx wrote Dusk Hapita.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, wow. Awesome.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah. Leech ne' er do.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, money should have urinated on it.

[Michael]

And. And even. But did you tell me this? He impregnated the maid or something?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Schwarzenegger style. And then asked his friend Engels to take the blame for it.

[Joe Getty]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

He was all kinds of awful. It's unbelievable that anybody respects him. When I had another question about England and the pubs and the. What you were doing in the. And I remember what it was. It'll flip back into my head. I'm an old man.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Going to the part of the tour tomorrow is the Tower of London. Spending a couple hours there then.

[Jack Armstrong]

Super fascinating. Cool. Yeah.

[Michael]

Off to Parliament in the afternoon. I think so. Yeah. I'm super excited about it. It's just. Oh my God, the walking we've done. But it's good. This may be the first vacation in my life. I'm going to lose weight. We're on that trend so far.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that a lot. If you go to big cities like that and you. And you walk most places, you. You couldn't eat enough calories to counterbalance how much walking you're doing. When I, you know, my. My trip got kind of was weird. I've only been to England once and. And it was there over 9 11, so everything got really weird. Right. When 911 happened. Everything was locked down and all that sort of stuff. But one of the coolest things I ever got to see was just because the timing of it all is when they did the national anthem in front of Buckingham Palace.

[Michael]

Oh, wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

To try to stay in solidarity with the United States, that had to be moving. And they had a. There's a giant. Is it Eisenhower or FDR statue? I don't remember which. I think there's both. But one of them where everybody was. And it was putting flowers and everything like that. And it was interesting to me that I think it was fdr, that they hold FDR in such high regard there for helping win England and. But you know, half the country doesn't in the United States. Doesn't like fdr. And the reverse with Winston Churchill there. We so idolize Winston Churchill over here and over there. It's kind of. Yeah, it's a mixed bag.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah. Indeed. It was interesting. The tour guide and I were chatting about contemporary politics a little bit. We hired a guide for the British Museum. We went a little nuts, but it was. It was super interesting. This guy was a history professor and oh my God, did he have a grasp of the ancient world. I mean, it was all a bit of a swirl by the end. End. But I'll tell you what, a couple of takeaways. Number one, what I was going to say is he was talking about how the country's growing broke and they've over promised pensions to all the civil service. Just like, you know, I talked about the pension bomb in California in the US and the other thing he said that was interesting was after Covid, they can't get anybody to work. There's a worker shortage.

[Jack Armstrong]

It's just like in the States because people got used to not working, getting a check.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah. People are on the dole on one program or another. And what are he talking about? Oh, one of the galleries was closed. He said, yeah, they can't get workers. Can't get workers over here. He pointed into a restaurant. We can't get security people over here. Just nobody wants to work.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow. So we had that, but it didn't. It wasn't that bad for that long. I remember at the beginning when things opened up, all kinds of restaurants, you know, they. They'd have half the thing knocked off because they didn't have enough people to work there. But that's still going on there. Wow.

[Michael]

Right, Right. And then the, the other takeaway, the final takeaway from the big tour. What time is it? I'm talking your ear off. The other big takeaway was that as we went through the various wrestling matches over who would control what ground across Europe and Asia and North Africa and everything like that. The idea that the people just before you who had the land, they rightful owners.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Michael]

And you should feel guilty that now you and your people are sitting on it is hilarious when you're in Europe.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, definitely. Oh, my God.

[Michael]

Every square inch of the earth has traded hands so many times through the millennia. It's just, just silly. But, you know, as I'm always lecturing people, it's not about justice or anything like that. It's a. It's a method of. It's a tool of takeover. It's a way to cow you into saying sorry. Sorry, it's yours.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey, before we take a break and I hope you can call in again maybe tomorrow. But what's, what's the conversion rate on the, the money?

[Michael]

I think it's about a buck 35 to a pound. The dollar is a little weaker than it's been in recent years from what I understand.

[Jack Armstrong]

I remember back in the day though when it was like 2 to 1 so it was really expensive to go to Europe.

[Michael]

Yeah, the dollar was crazy strong there for a while. But no, it's, it's not bad.

[Jack Armstrong]

Cool.

[Michael]

It's not bad. Big city prices. But you know, we went out to big steak dinner last night and it was about what a big steak dinner is going to cost you.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. And did you yell bloody hell when you saw the check?

[Michael]

I wish I had.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. Okay, maybe. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Joe Getty our from our London bureau. Thank you, Michael. We got more and all more on the way. Stay here.

[Jack Armstrong]

Time flies and all too quickly. It was in the country. There was no electricity, no running water, so everything had to be done the hard way.

[Michael]

The wedding was at 7 o' clock and Mr. Tardy was late, so the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wedding was at 7:30.

[Michael]

The Guinness World Record for longest marriage is 88 years, 349 days. That means currently Ray and Jean Mackay are just under 14 years shy.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think probably we'll get divorced before then. No secret, just patience and keep on talking. Couple celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary. Which obviously you got to be pretty old to be able to pull off Even if you're 15 when you got married. I don't know how they were in this. In this case of course Mr. Tardy was late. So the wedding started at 7:30. That's funny. She still remembers that he was late for their wedding 75 years ago.

[Katie Green]

She is still bringing that up.

[Jack Armstrong]

Of course. Mr. Tardy here.

[Katie Green]

That was precious.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that was cute and I like that. I don't know that I liked whoever the news correspondent was having to present it as like a failure. Of course the world record is 80 some years. So they're a long way from that.

[Katie Green]

These guys got him beat so there's.

[Jack Armstrong]

No point in really talking about this at 75 since the world record is 14 years longer than this. What you throw in that nugget for.

[Katie Green]

Gene is 96 and Ray is 102.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't like their chances for breaking the all time record. He'd have to be 116.

[Michael]

Wow.

[Katie Green]

You never know.

[Jack Armstrong]

102 and 98 to four years apart. They made it work. Patience is the key. I would say that is true with all relationships of any kind. Yeah, patience is a key. And the, and the recognizing that you always ain't so great to deal with yourself is also a very big help.

[Katie Green]

I'm looking at another quote from then. I tell Gene that. I tell people that Gene and I do a little bit of traveling these days. I drive her up the wall and she drives me up the other wall.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hey now. Ah, they got.

[Katie Green]

They're darling. I love this story.

[Jack Armstrong]

They got a comedy routine. Good for them. That's fed the man. That is a long time.

[Michael]

Wow.

[Jack Armstrong]

Coming up, Donald Trump had a impromptu, as he always does, press conference practically every day. Took a ton of questions on a ton of issue, ton of issues and some of them are pretty darn interesting his replies. So we'll get to that coming up. We still got a minute left. Cool. I was just reading over the protests from the weekend. They had protests just this weekend. Really big protests in England where Joe is. It's around a hotel on the outskirts of London where immigrant somebody from the Middle east tried to kiss a 14 year old girl. That's what is being alleged. He says he didn't. Other people say they saw it. That has been the issue in a lot of the dust ups with immigration over there. They have, you know, in the Middle east have a different view of the relationship between men and women and no age barrier on any of that, as you might be aware of. So that's what caused the spark and they're hoping it doesn't turn super violent like it did last year, but they're up 50% in terms of illegal channel crossings this year from last and they set the record two years ago. So they got a lot of people still coming in and things could turn even uglier. All right, what Trump had to say and a whole bunch of different topics coming up next. Some of it's pretty entertaining.

[Donald Trump]

We want to go from here to other places, but I was, I was telling some of the people that in a certain way you really want to be asked to go. You know, I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians. Like a guy like Pritzker. He ought to spend more time in the gym. Actually.

[Jack Armstrong]

He had to do a fat shot at the fat governor of Illinois there at the end. Spend more time on the gym, by the way.

[Katie Green]

I love it.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is funny. Donald Trump saying he'd like to be invited before he sends the National Guard troops into Chicago. That's what Republican house member Tom McClintock said on our show a little bit earlier that he'd be okay with it if they were asked, but he doesn't like the idea of the federal government just sending troops unasked. Anywho, Trump talking about D.C. and how crime is there since he decided to get involved.

[Donald Trump]

But in the last 11 days, we've had no murders and that's the first time that's taken place in years, actually. Years. We always have a murder a week. They call it a murder a week. You come here from Iowa, you come here from Indiana, you come here from Idaho.

[Jack Armstrong]

Ho.

[Donald Trump]

Because you're so proud of your country, you love your country. And then you get murdered. Your son gets murdered, your daughter gets murdered, you get murdered. See the media, you get murdered. Many of you have been mugged in Washington. You just don't want to talk about it. And I know that every time I do this with you, you almost everything. But every time I do this with you, people are saying to yourselves, he's right, he's right. And then you write a negative.

[Jack Armstrong]

The crime statistics in Chicago are being argued just like what happened in Washington D.C. a week or so ago. The mayor of, the socialist mayor of Chicago and the fat governor of Illinois are both claiming crime is actually down in Chicago, so they don't need the National Guard troops. So we'll see how that story turns out later in this week. But Trump, doing his impromptu press conference today, did get asked about Gavin Newsom.

[Christina Quinn]

Gavin Newsom.

[Jack Armstrong]

You've mentioned Gavin Newsom on crime.

[Donald Trump]

Yes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is there a federal mechanism you're hoping to use to fight back against his.

[Joe Getty]

Redistricting constitutional amendment, or is that.

[Donald Trump]

Well, I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon and I think we're going to be very successful in it. We're going to be filing it through the Department of Justice. That's going to happen.

[Jack Armstrong]

He had to get in the new scum thing. I don't know if that does him any good or not, but. So a different topic on Friday, the hot story was the FBI raiding John Bolton's home. Former national Security advisor under Trump who has turned a Trump critic and the mainstream media claiming it is some sort of retribution or he's just targeting people he hates unlawfully, that sort of thing. I was kind of surprised cuz Chris Christie, huge Trump critic, former governor of New Jersey, never has anything positive to say about anything Trump does was ask about the whole thing on ABC this week and his Answer was a little bit surprising to me. They had to get two separate judges to sign off on those search warrants. So they have to have some evidence of probable cause. Absolutely. And look, let's be fair.

[Michael]

When we talked about this in the context of the raid of Mar a.

[Jack Armstrong]

Lago, I said the same thing at.

[Michael]

That point, that a federal judge had.

[Jack Armstrong]

Found probable cause to sign off on.

[Michael]

A search warrant, which means there's something. It doesn't necessarily mean that there's evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of guilt to.

[Jack Armstrong]

A violation of a federal law, but.

[Michael]

It means there's probable cause that a crime. Evidence of a crime was kept at the residence where he was searched.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, so that's good for Chris Christie. So he was asked, was there a reason was this? And I think my. I watched it twice, actually, several times, to cause. It seemed to me that Jonathan Carl really thought he was teeing up Chris Christie to say Chris. So Chris Christie could say, this is a retribution presidency. All he's trying to do is target political enemies. And Chris Christie said no. Two federal judges signed off on warrants, so there's got to be something there. Um, or the federal. Doesn't mean the guy's guilty, but there is something there. It's. It's not just made up. So I was happy to see that. Now, Chris Christie might have been trying to stay on the good side of Trump, because Trump might be coming after Chris Christie. And, you know, federal agents go in there, and once they get past all the McDonald's rappers and everything like that, they try to find some classified documents of some sort.

[Katie Green]

Now he's taking fat shots.

[Jack Armstrong]

Exactly. I'm just working Trump's side of the street. I guess that's the way you do things. You constantly body shame people, body shaming.

[Katie Green]

That's where we're at, Michael.

[Jack Armstrong]

Anyway, this is Trump talking about Christie.

[Donald Trump]

Look, Chris is a slob. Everybody knows it. I know Chris better than anybody.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, stop it for a second. I need. I need to. I need to reset here. I need to reset. He just.

[Katie Green]

The gloves are always off.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, my God. He starts with that. Chris is a slob. Okay?

[Katie Green]

Chris is a slob.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right? I like the way Trump always presents that is like evidence of something else. A person being overweight or having a thin neck or not being able to hit a golf ball very far or being a slob is evidence of the other thing you're about to say. But anyway, let's get back to the response.

[Donald Trump]

Look, Chris is a slob. Everybody knows it. I know Chris better than anybody in the room. I always felt he was guilty. But what he did is he took the George Washington Bridge, which is very serious. He closed down the George Washington Bridge. And you had medical people, you had ambulances caught up. You know, this thing was closed down. And obviously he knew about it, but he blamed the young lady that worked for him and another person, and they got into a lot of trouble. She ultimately was, I don't know, exonerated, but she got out of it a little bit.

[Jack Armstrong]

But.

[Donald Trump]

But she went through hell. She was a young mother, nice person. I knew her a little bit. And another man went to jail and Chris got off. And so when I listened to Chris speak his hate, I say, oh, what about the George Washington Bridge? You know, tell me about the George Washington Bridge. He blamed other people, but he knew all about it. So, no, I don't know if they want to look, look at. It's not for me.

[Jack Armstrong]

We're not going to get into bridge Gate probably ever at this point. But Chris is a slob, as we all know. Which has to do with what? Not exactly sure. Did you see the video of speaking of politicians and criticizing their body shapes and strength? Did you see the video of Mamdani trying to lift the weights?

[Katie Green]

Just pathetic.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't. I can't imagine why he set himself up for that.

[Katie Green]

And it was at some event called Men's Day in Brooklyn. And yeah, like, this was a display of guys showing off their strength. And here comes this toothpick.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. So there's all these big giant dudes out there lifting weights, and he's doing the political thing, going around shaking babies and kissing hands and. And wants to get involved in the workout. Well, he. Was he unaware of his own physical strength?

[Katie Green]

Did he maybe think he could lift that? Well, he got a rude awakening if you're.

[Jack Armstrong]

If you're a regular gym goer. I've known at a glance what that weighs for, I don't know, 40 years. If you go to the gym a lot, one plate on each side on an Olympic bar is going to be 135 pounds. Yeah. And you can either lift that or you can. You get two plates on there. It's 225. I mean, people just know this. If you go to gyms a lot. Did he just not know? Apparently he did not know that. But anyway, he lays down underneath the bar. He really struggles. They have to help it up, Help him get it up off his chest or he would have died. They should have just left him there. You're on your Own dude, he would have died under that thing.

[Katie Green]

There was a guy on either side of the bar and one standing directly over mom Donnie with both of his hands under. I mean this, this I don't even know mom dummy was touching it.

[Jack Armstrong]

But why did he set himself up for that ridicule? What an odd thing to do. That would be like, would be an example of me. I don't know. I haven't played golf in 25 years. If there's some golf event, hey, let me take a shot and just step up there. Having not swung a golf club in a quarter of a century, I'm setting myself up for ridicule by shanking it off. I mean just why would I do that?

[Katie Green]

Do you think his ego's so big that that wasn't even on his radar that maybe he could just go in there and the fact that he was there was cool?

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know. That's a weird one though. And it's not significant. I don't care how much somebody can lift. I care about their brain and what their opinions are. But I just thought it was like such a weird self own.

[Katie Green]

I'm happy it happened.

[Jack Armstrong]

He is a, he is a scrawny little communist man.

[Katie Green]

Got those weird little hands.

[Jack Armstrong]

I haven't noticed his tiny little I.

[Katie Green]

Have a hand thing. I have a weird thing about hands and I just noticed like the way he, the way his mannerisms are and.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I've noticed a lot of women do. Why do, why do a lot of women pay so much attention to men's hands?

[Katie Green]

I, I don't know. I think, I don't know. I actually I don't have an answer for that. I think about it for a minute.

[Jack Armstrong]

I've known half dozen women who have comments about men's hands and I, I.

[Katie Green]

You now you know more than that because I'm the same way.

[Jack Armstrong]

I never think about somebody's hands. I wonder if it's some sort of strength thing or.

[Katie Green]

I think there's a strength and cleanliness aspect to. Yeah, okay, but like when you have like weak little like soft looking hands on a dude. I'm sorry for you.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's interesting. Okay, we will finish strong next Armstrong.

[Michael]

I don't think they were close friends.

[Jack Armstrong]

Or I certainly never witnessed the President in any of. I don't recall ever seeing him in his house. And did you ever hear Mr. Epstein or anybody say that President Trump had done anything inappropriate with masseuses or with anybody in your world? Absolutely never in any context. So that's Ghislaine Maxwell and the interview that she did with the number two at the Justice Department, what, a couple of Fridays ago, Eight, nine hours of questioning. Nobody's exactly sure why she was being questioned at all, but asked if Trump and Epstein, how good of friends they were, she said not close friends. And she never saw Trump do anything inappropriate ever. Of course, the backstory is that she did that interview, said that, and like three days later got moved from a pretty serious prison to a Club Fed, which is kind of like being at a community college campus. You're not allowed to leave as far as the prison goes. So, you know, there was some speculation that there was a, an exchange there. I don't know. I still don't have any. Even back to Chris Christie, who hates Donald Trump. He was asked about this yesterday on ABC this Week, and he said, he said, I have no indication in all my years of being around Donald Trump that he's the kind of guy that would have been involved in any of this sort of stuff. Even Chris Christie said that. Anyway. Anyway, I want to hear a little more from Maxwell. Does she think that Epstein killed himself or not?

[Michael]

So you think he was.

[Jack Armstrong]

He was. He did not die by suicide. Given all the things we just talked about, I do not believe he died by suicide.

[Michael]

And do you believe that?

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you have any speculation or view of who killed him? No, I don't. So she thinks Epstein did not kill Himself, which is interesting. And she goes on to explain a little bit about the blackmail and how easy it is to get somebody killed in prison. If you don't believe that there's any truth to the allegations of blackmail or that he had kind of a list or that he had reasons to have people hate him.

[Michael]

Why would somebody kill him in prison? Well.

[Jack Armstrong]

In prison, where I am, they will kill you or they will pay.

[Joe Getty]

Somebody can pay a prisoner to kill.

[Jack Armstrong]

You for 20, $25 worth of commissary is about the going rate for a hit with a lock today. So that goes to the third reason, which is kind of the mismanagement or the shortfallings or shortcomings of the Bureau of Prisons. Yes. So. Well, she's been lying her whole life, as we all know. She's a scumbag. She was finding teen, troubled teen girls, underage teen girls, and literally pimping them out, turning them into sex slaves, basically, for Epstein, for years. So she's a bad person and she got convicted and she's in a. Was in a real prison. But would she have knowledge that the going rate for a hit in prison is $25 worth of stuff at the commissary? I. I just find that hard to believe. I would. I would feel like there'd be a lot more prison murders if it were that. I mean, she made it seem like it's just constantly happening, People being killed. You only have to pay 25 bucks. It's just so easy to kill so many and you get away with it. I guess I just. I know it happens in prison, but it's not constant.

[Katie Green]

Yeah. And I didn't like the way that that whole clip was kind of mapped. The way she like. Well, in prison where I am, it was just like a real sob story almost.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Katie Green]

When she doesn't deserve that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to be in prison. Maybe don't find some troubled 15 year old and set her up to be raped by an old prince. And you weren't Prince Andrew.

[Katie Green]

This is a. I. I never really looked at the facility where she is now. You're right. It's a. It's a call. It's a community college campus. She can't leave.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh.

[Katie Green]

Sprawling grounds. I see a garden, some tables and chairs with umbrellas.

[Jack Armstrong]

And you basically have like dorm rooms for you for your cells. Using my finger quotes. I know. I mean, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be confined. Who would. Away from your family and all that. But I could spend the rest of my life somewhere there and be moderately happy. I mean, if I had to.

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

So what was that deal all about? Nobody's exactly sure. There's eight and a half hours of this audio tape. I've only heard those clips and it's been out since Friday, so I'm guessing there's nothing else there of any note or you would have heard it already. And we don't have any idea if she's being honest or not because she's a lion scumbag and she's going to say whatever benefits are the most. Which is the problem with ever talking to people in prison. They got lots to gain by lying sometimes, so they do. I would like to know why she got moved from a real prison to the. The cushy prison, though.

[Katie Green]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Do you think it's that easy to have somebody killed in prison?

[Katie Green]

No, I don't.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't think so.

[Katie Green]

25 bucks worth of commissary.

[Jack Armstrong]

I just. I don't believe that. We would know that, wouldn't we, if it was that. If it was that Shawshank Redemption in there.

[Katie Green]

Well, yeah, it would be. I mean, prison, like you said, prison hits would be way more common if it was 25 bucks a commissary.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. And there'd be protests and people standing up for it. It would be an issue about. We knew what we need to do to make our prison. Because I'm. I am not.

[Michael]

While.

[Jack Armstrong]

While on the one hand, I don't care much about what happens to scumbags, we can't have extrajudicial killings and rapings and that sort of stuff willy nilly because that's. That's not good for anybody. It's final Thoughts, boys.

[Michael]

That'll do, boys.

[Jack Armstrong]

Soon we'll hear your comments, entertain us.

[Michael]

Give us closure for the show. They nearly done.

[Jack Armstrong]

Love that, huh? Blind boys of Alabama there. Here's your host for final thoughts. Me, Jack Armstrong, as Joe is on vacation in Great Britain. Let's check in with our. What do we call you? Technical director Michelangelo are this morning. Michael, what do you got for us? All I can say, Jack, is I really wouldn't have blamed you if you.

[Katie Green]

Had tipped over that boat, you know, on.

[Jack Armstrong]

On that old man.

[Katie Green]

I think you were well within your right to tip over that boat on that guy.

[Jack Armstrong]

I almost did on after accident. Oh, that's what I mean, man. It's really easy to flip a sailboat. I didn't know that in finger quotes. Yeah, yeah. He was not wearing a life preserver. I'm swimming as fast as I can to save you. I really am. Here's our Katie. Katie the news lady. Katie Green with a final thought.

[Katie Green]

Mine's more of like a state. You never told us what you wore to your sailing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, I just wore stuff to keep the sun off me because it was so sunny out there. It was 104 degrees and sunny, but.

[Katie Green]

All right, fair enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

But one of the old women who did show up, I was the youngest person there. One of the older women that showed up, she showed up in a I'm super cute sailor outfit. She had a little sailor skirt and a sailor hat and everything like that. She didn't come back for day two.
