Jack Armstrong
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.
- [00:24]
Joe Getty
You look at their theories on tax. You know, all my life I've watched politics. I've always liked it. I've watched it. I participated, but from the standpoint of a donor. But I participated and all my life I've watched politicians. We will cut your taxes. We will cut your taxes. These people say, we're going to raise your taxes. This is the only time it's never said. I've never heard it. They say it, even if they don't mean it. We will cut you to. These people say that we're going to give you the biggest tax increase you've ever had. And that's what they're running on.
- [00:59]
Unnamed Guest
That is an interesting point. And I wonder if it's just the realization of half the country doesn't pay taxes. So they don't care. I mean, they want that. Yeah. It's just. It's just there's a bigger chunk of America than has ever been. You can look at the charts that doesn't care if taxes go up.
- [01:18]
Jack Armstrong
Right.
- [01:19]
Unnamed Guest
So maybe it's a winning issue now.
- [01:21]
Jack Armstrong
It's more services for them, honestly.
- [01:23]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah.
- [01:24]
Jack Armstrong
Keep that gravy train a rolling. Unlike the bullet train, the gravy train is a rolling.
- [01:30]
Unnamed Guest
I feel like we found out in the last 24 hours that this is absolutely true, that Trump's got a grand strategy to deal with China, knowing they think long term and we think short term, to try to bring manufacturing back to the United States, because that's the direction the world is going. More on that in a second. As far as the tariffs and how that's going to affect our economy. He's asked a. The kind of question presidents, speaking of. Presidents always say they're going to lower taxes. Presidents always say, no, there's not going to be a recession. But that's not what Trump said here.
- [02:07]
Joe Getty
Look, I know that you inherited a.
- [02:09]
Unnamed Guest
Mess and you said that the other day.
- [02:10]
Joe Getty
I've only been here.
- [02:12]
Unnamed Guest
Are you expecting a recession this year?
- [02:16]
Joe Getty
I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing. And there are always periods of. It takes a little time. It takes a little time. But I don't. I think it should be great for us. I mean, I think it should be great.
- [02:39]
Unnamed Guest
That's definitely not a no. I don't think there's going to be session. He was, you know, his mind's whirling. He understands the way the media works and politics works. If he says no, and then there is one he has that know running on a loop constantly.
- [02:51]
Jack Armstrong
Sure. Right. For what it's worth, I thought this was interesting. You, if you ask a quote unquote expert, it's mostly going to be a, a professor. And professors are all lefties, as we've all realized in recent days. But when you ask like business slash financial experts about this sort of thing, I think it's a much better, you know, gauge. For instance, the Journal asked economists at some of the global banks about the chance of recession. The JP Morgan Chase guys raised the risk of recession from 30% to 40% from the start of the year till now. So they see it as less than half likely but more than they did before the tariffs.
- [03:35]
Unnamed Guest
I meant to inject earlier because we've, we've said this many times over the years. Recession gets thrown around like, like, do you even remember the last recession? Of course you do, because half your neighbors starved to death.
- [03:48]
Jack Armstrong
Sure. The body's piled in the streets. Who could forget?
- [03:50]
Unnamed Guest
I've lived through so many recessions and I don't remember when the last one was. I mean, they're not enjoyable and if you lose your job, obviously it's awful, but they come now. It's not, it's not, it's. How does that get presented in the news? Like it's, I don't know, the COVID pandemic or like something so incredibly disruptive to your life?
- [04:11]
Jack Armstrong
Oh yeah, they really ought to have a low voice guy with lots of echo, say Russia. That's it. That's it. I said the way they talk about it, I mean, I don't want one.
- [04:20]
Unnamed Guest
But they're not, they happen every now and then anyway.
- [04:24]
Jack Armstrong
Goldman Sachs said it's now 20% likely, up from 15%. And Morgan Stanley folks say yeah, growth around one and a half percent, kind of not a recession, but minor growth. So, you know, nobody's panicking, everybody's thinking, yeah, it might be more likely.
- [04:38]
Unnamed Guest
Just a little perspective, but I think what Trump is hinting at, and I think he might be better off if he just say it out loud is, look, the world is changing a lot. It's going to be us versus China. China's going to have their big chunk of the world. We're going to have our big chunk of the world and we got to make everything over on our chunk of the world. Preferably in the United States or we're doomed. He talks a little bit about that here.
- [05:02]
Joe Getty
You said, look, we're going to have.
- [05:04]
Unnamed Guest
A disruption, but we're okay with that. Is that what you meant?
- [05:07]
Joe Getty
The stock market going down was the disruption.
- [05:09]
Unnamed Guest
What other disruption were you alluding to?
- [05:11]
Joe Getty
Look, what I have to do is build a strong country. You can't really watch the stock market. If you look at China, they have 100 year perspective. We have a quarter, we go by quarters.
- [05:22]
Unnamed Guest
That's true.
- [05:22]
Joe Getty
And you can't go by that. You have to do what's right. What we're doing is we're building a tremendous foundation for the future. Tremendous foundation. Everything's been taken away. We don't make ships anymore. We don't. You know, you just saw one of the biggest shipbuilders in the world, one of the biggest shipping people in the whole world in the Oval Office with you in the Oval Office, he's announcing a $20 billion investment in the United States, which he would have never, except for this.
- [05:47]
Unnamed Guest
You know, Trump gets knocked a lot by people for just, you know, doing whatever he's got to do to make these poll numbers go up or the economy good or whatever so that he can, you know, win the next election or stay in office. This is not something that's benefiting him personally. He's, he's going to take a tremendous amount of political heat for this if he tries to enact this entire plan that he has.
- [06:10]
Jack Armstrong
Well, he can't run for reelection, so, you know, maybe that insulates him free. He's like a, what's the opposite of a lame duck, A steroid crazed, huge, muscular duck.
- [06:20]
Unnamed Guest
But is he operating, is he operating out of patriotism slash reality of he just thinks this is the direction the world's going and somebody needs to do it and it's going to be him, I think.
- [06:33]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, clearly. Yeah. This is one of my favorite things he's doing and it could well be a bumpy ride, but democracies are famously reactive. You just, nobody solves a problem until it's a crisis because it's so easy to demagogue. They're trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor or the old or whatever. And, and, and you know, you can't get elected doing the right thing. You get elected by giving out treats. And, and Trump is saying we can't be reactive because China will stomp us because they are a evil, nasty, hateful, malevolent superpower. We need to change before, you know, the barbarians are actually through the gate. And I think he's exactly right. I'm a little concerned. Even if he's 100% right, he doesn't have time right. In one term because it could take 30 years to really, really, you know, get our ducks in a row. The second duck related metaphor in the segment.
- [07:28]
Unnamed Guest
Well, I know most of you don't watch the evil MSNBC and for good reason. But even they seem to be understanding his overall plot at this point. Here's David Ignatius of the Washington Post on Morning Joe.
- [07:42]
Jack Armstrong
He made a very interesting comment yesterday that I did pay attention to where he said China works on a hundred year cycle of planning and the United States goes quarter to quarter. Something I've heard from corporate CEOs for years. And I think he's right about that. I mean, it's not to endorse the policies, but we do tend to get so caught up in these short term movements that we forget about what would be good for the long run in the country. In any event, Wall Street's got the.
- [08:11]
Unnamed Guest
Jitters today is, well, like, you know, and that's Trump's point. So they got the jitters today. They'll really have the jitters in 10 years if we don't, if we don't start preparing for the direction the world is going. Wow, is Trump actually like thinking long term what's good for the country at great personal harm to himself? That's not his brand. For a lot of Trump haters, yeah, momentary popularity.
- [08:38]
Jack Armstrong
There's a lot of damage he could do to himself. But if he truly believes this, I think he's trying to set him up, set himself up to be remembered as a great president who made an incredibly difficult, controversial decision and reordered the world.
- [08:55]
Unnamed Guest
Elon, I don't have it in front of me, but he made some comment on Friday, I think about having to take a look at Social Security. And of course that was attacked hard from the left. You see it.
- [09:08]
Jack Armstrong
He said it out loud.
- [09:09]
Unnamed Guest
He said the quiet part out loud. They want to take away your Social Security. That is the most childish, moronic discussion. I mean, that makes me.
- [09:20]
Jack Armstrong
And it works every time. That's the part that makes me despondent in both parties.
- [09:25]
Unnamed Guest
It makes me sad for the idea of self governance. It makes me think democracy actually can't work, that there aren't grownups in both parties who say, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is dumb. Look, we got a program here you like, but as it's currently constituted, it won't last, so we have to change it it's just math, people. This isn't politics, all right? I don't have an. I don't have a dog in this fight. It's just, it's just math. We can't keep giving out this much for taking. We have to change it. But you can't do that. And it's nuts.
- [09:58]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. And it's frustrating. And this, this change from a global free trade, you know, utopia to, you know, whatever's in the future is going to be really, really bumpy ride and it's going to be super easy to demagogue it. And there will also be legitimate programs or problems, rather. I'm sorry, I'm always trying to read while I talk. So you've got people pointing out that if we are indeed going to change, well, we'll just say away from global free trade as the model. Not that it exactly was, but it was as close as we've ever come. That's going to bring in a whole new set of problems about picking winners and losers. For instance, what industries do we protect? What industries do we give giant tax incentives to onshore them? Because in the long term, it's going to be great for the American people. You know, what industries don't get that treatment? And I'm reminded of the utterly unholy litany of gigantic handouts that the Biden administration did in their final hours in office. I mean, there's just graft, corruption of the highest level. But the beautiful thing about the free market is that the money just chases the best deal and the best goods and, you know, the most productive relationships. If we indeed start to engage in more protectionism, you're going to see more and more corruption of that sort. It's just, it's trading one set of problems for another. But I just, the idea that we could continue on the current course with China being our manufacturer of virtually everything, that just won't work.
- [11:38]
Unnamed Guest
Obs, obs. We have a new prime minister of Canada. His name is Mark Carney, and he's going to be the one that tries to keep Trump from making Canada the 51st state. I guess I'm sure that name will become familiar to most of us at some point. And a bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here.
- [11:58]
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty.
- [12:00]
Unnamed Guest
All right, so I look up at CBS EARLY SHOW today and they do a long. Hansen actually timed it, five and a half minute segment with Dylan Mulvaney. Do you remember him, the Bud Light spokesman? Because Dylan Mulvaney has a new book out about her transgender journey. And CBS gave this person the sort of time like you usually give Bruce Springsteen if he's got a memoir out or something. I mean, like five minutes on the. That's a. That's a big chunk of time.
- [12:43]
Jack Armstrong
Yet more proof that the media subculture is a weird little representative of very few Americans.
- [12:48]
Unnamed Guest
And I thought, who do you think your audience is? First of all, your audience is old, which tends not to be super into, you know, young transgender people. Anyway, let's hear a little bit of the interview with Mulvaney.
- [13:02]
I have been to the movies.
- [13:04]
I have seen how it is. As she blew up online, the trans influencer became a regular on red carpets.
- [13:14]
Jack Armstrong
She idolized as a child, like Kristin Chenoweth became allies.
- [13:19]
Unnamed Guest
You told your mom at just four years old, God made a mistake.
- [13:24]
Yeah, I knew I was a girl. That was one of the purest thoughts and intentions I've ever had throughout my entire life, was to be brought into this world and to so clearly know who I was and then to be told otherwise. It's very conflicting.
- [13:40]
I've raised a couple of kids through that age.
- [13:45]
Jack Armstrong
Just four year olds say lots of crazy stuff, interestingly, and we don't have much time for this, but the old gender dysphoria world was almost entirely adult men who'd felt. Felt they were women their entire lives, and that was it. The idea of adolescent girls deciding I'm a dude is like out of nowhere and all of a sudden, a huge social contagion.
- [14:16]
Unnamed Guest
I want to hear a little about the Bud Light thing.
- [14:18]
It took a lot to not feel guilty about that experience because I felt like it was my fault. And in that me taking this one brand deal was affecting trans people globally. I think extremists and transphobic media needed a poster child. But I would have never taken any deal that I thought could negatively impact me or the community.
- [14:43]
All right, I just. I can't believe CBS gave. First of all, I can't believe somebody gave a book deal to Dylan Mulvaney for Paper Doll. Who's gonna read that? And then CBS giving five and a half minutes to it. But I'm kind of interested in what the answer is on this question.
- [14:59]
Jack Armstrong
What do you say to those who.
- [15:00]
Unnamed Guest
Do question gender affirming care, believing that.
- [15:04]
Jack Armstrong
It could be irreversible and lead to.
- [15:06]
Unnamed Guest
Problems later in life, even cause regrets?
- [15:09]
I don' have the lived experience of a trans child that was able to seek out that care, but I ultimately do believe that parents know their child better than a government does. We should let those families figure out what is best for them.
- [15:25]
Wow. At least, at least goes that far. School shouldn't be doing this. Let the parents figure out, you know. But I appreciate that it should be against the law to get any sort of medical treatment for someone underage, regardless of what the parents think. Think that is really interesting that CBS feels like one. They need to feature Dylan Mulvaney for half an five and a half minutes and then need to present that question in kind of a. There are those out there that think that transitioning a child could have negative repercussions. What do you think of that? I mean, who do you think your audience is?
- [16:10]
Jack Armstrong
That is how bubbled and strange they are.
- [16:13]
Unnamed Guest
Right? Have you looked at the polling on this stuff?
- [16:17]
Jack Armstrong
Wow. The blindness is amazing.
- [16:19]
Unnamed Guest
It really is.
- [16:20]
Jack Armstrong
There's a great new piece out from this Finnish doctor. This gal is a psychiatrist, child psychiatrist, and was one of the leading lights in trying to deal with adolescent gender dysphoria back in the day. And she is completely against it. She and like all of Europe used the Dutch model, which I could bore you to death with how that developed and how it went sideways and how it's completely disavowed now in Europe because they've worked through all this stuff and they are astounded and amazed that so many medical professionals in the United States are ignoring them. They can't shout loud enough. This doesn't work. It's a bad idea. And the captured far left ama, for instance, continues to ignore them.
- [17:10]
Unnamed Guest
That's pretty damned interesting. Armstrong and Getty, scientists hoping to revive the extinct woolly mammoth have taken a first step by genetically engineering a long haired woolly mouse. Now it's on to step two. Getting it drunk enough to have sex with an elephant.
- [17:31]
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
- [17:34]
Unnamed Guest
We have a little piece of breaking news to hit you with. Marco Rubio, Secretary of state, said 83% of the USAID programs funded by his agency are being canceled or in his agency are being canceled. So, you know, there was a lot of talk on whenever it was Elon can't come do this and Marco's mad that you're blah, blah, blah. Anyway, Marco announced today that 83% of the programs being funded are being canceled. So there you go.
- [18:06]
Jack Armstrong
New York Times was going big with the various things that were being canceled or defunded that everybody's in favor of and are wonderful, which is obviously going to be what they tend to do.
- [18:15]
Unnamed Guest
Sure.
- [18:17]
Jack Armstrong
Some of them included, you know, cutting edge experiments on healthcare for veterans and that sort of thing. And I certainly hope that sort of thing is reinstated as quickly as possible. But it's just, it's very, very difficult to trust the message.
- [18:30]
Unnamed Guest
I'm not worried about it. We throw around so much money to so many things. Let's. Let's go way too far the other direction just for once.
- [18:37]
Jack Armstrong
Let's just for a little while.
- [18:39]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah. Yeah.
- [18:39]
Jack Armstrong
It's got to happen.
- [18:40]
Unnamed Guest
I am going to read the rest of this article. I started during the commercial break. I don't know if you saw this. There's a piece in the Wall Street Journal about Gloria Allred, the great champion of women and how mean she is to women behind the scenes.
- [18:55]
Jack Armstrong
I've got it right in front of me. Yeah. Oh, the champion of the Me Too movement and fighting for women and sexual this and that and the other. Oh, no, those women were. They were just grist for her mill.
- [19:07]
Unnamed Guest
Well, we've been saying that forever, but having it proven or validated is making me feel good.
- [19:14]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. And they all had to sign non disclosure agreements, which she condemns in public all the time. But non disclosure against her and her law firm. So they could treat them any way they wanted and abuse them and, and use them and the rest of it. And the women could never speak out or they'd get sued by that same law firm.
- [19:31]
Unnamed Guest
They got audio tapes too, of phone calls and that sort of stuff, including one where this 24 year old and I don't know, you know, in what way something horrible happened to her. She was raped by somebody or something. Gloria Allred sees an opportunity to sue a big corporation or something like that. And you, you know, you've, you've seen this. If you've listened to our show, you know, we talk about it a lot. Gloria Allred, she'll hug these people on camera and put her in front of a microphone and have tears in her eyes. Anyway, behind the scenes, this girl was crying and Gloria Red suck crying. Grow up.
- [20:00]
Jack Armstrong
She said to her. How old are you?
- [20:02]
Unnamed Guest
24. Grow up.
- [20:04]
Jack Armstrong
So you're raped. Get over it. Yeah.
- [20:06]
Unnamed Guest
Wow. Wow, wow, wow.
- [20:09]
Jack Armstrong
Oi. Crazy. So speaking of sexual activity, consensual and otherwise, a couple of stories you might enjoy here. Boy, people are, people are digging this and I don't approve of it. I don't think schadenfreude is a healthy, you know, emotion at all. But Hunter Biden has fallen on tough financial times.
- [20:28]
Unnamed Guest
Oh, you hate to hear that.
- [20:30]
Jack Armstrong
Amid his legal woes and his dad's departure from the White House. I don't understand how that's related. Since all of Hunter's Earnings were completely legitimate. But the former first son and filing with federal court this week, said he's struggling to sell his artwork, and his book sales have plummeted as well. He lost his rental home in the California wildfires. Can't find a place to live. He's told the judge he's in such financial straits that he has to drop us a law, drop a lawsuit he'd filed against a former Trump aide, and hinted some other civil lawsuits he's filed may also have to come to an end.
- [21:03]
Unnamed Guest
I can't believe that he actually had his lawyer state in the paperwork. My art isn't selling since my dad left the White House. Wow. Huh? That's. How would that have enough? I mean, because arts aren't totally unrelated.
- [21:18]
Jack Armstrong
Totally unrelated.
- [21:19]
Unnamed Guest
Van Gogh isn't worth more or less based on what his dad, the pastor, was doing.
- [21:25]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, well, for, again, reasons that are completely unrelated. During his mummified father's term in the White house, he sold 27 pieces of art for an average of nearly $55,000 a piece.
- [21:39]
Unnamed Guest
You know, you're right. Joe Biden, this close to the same condition Gene Hackman was found in, but.
- [21:45]
Jack Armstrong
Very similar of 23. He sold just one for $36,000.
- [21:51]
Unnamed Guest
Wow. What was that person thinking?
- [21:53]
Jack Armstrong
And his sales of his memoir, Beautiful things, dropped from 500 books a month to fewer than 200. I can't even imagine. Oh. Oh. Plus, he was really expecting to obtain paid speaking engagements and paid appearances, but that has not happened.
- [22:13]
Unnamed Guest
He thought he was going to go around and spe to people. Wow.
- [22:18]
Jack Armstrong
Or so he claims, anyway.
- [22:20]
Unnamed Guest
You know, if Kamala had won, though, I could see where they could have perhaps made it kind of a. You know, him standing up to Maga and overcoming his addiction and turning it into some sort of TED Talk sort of thing. Goes around, gets paid to do.
- [22:38]
Jack Armstrong
Yeah.
- [22:41]
Unnamed Guest
His art, though, was so obviously, it was just a different way of buying access than what the Ukrainian oil company did. I mean, it's the same thing. It's just a slightly different one. Okay. I'll buy you the expensive painting, and you're gonna get me on a phone call with your dad. All right.
- [22:59]
Jack Armstrong
And. Or my hastily created social justice Green energy empowerment group will receive $50 million as you go out the door.
- [23:10]
Unnamed Guest
Which might have happened.
- [23:12]
Jack Armstrong
Right. Is the thieving mummy. Anyway, this had be an interesting. It's like. It's like the mummy meets the Godfather. We got a mummy who's a thief. He's like a gangster mummy. That was Joe Biden. A gangster mummy.
- [23:28]
Unnamed Guest
Well, and Not a joke. What is hunter in his mid-50s. He's got a lot of life left to live if he's broke and no obvious means of making more money.
- [23:40]
Jack Armstrong
Right, Right. How old is he? Usually they give an age for people in every news article about them, but for whatever reason, the Washington Times does not engage in that. Katie, what do you have for us? He.
- [23:51]
Unnamed Guest
He is 55 years old.
- [23:53]
Jack Armstrong
Okay. Yeah, it's a little young to be highly in debt with no way to.
- [23:59]
Unnamed Guest
Make any money, and I'm sure not a dollar saved.
- [24:02]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, right, right. And speaking of sexual activity, again, the FBI is investigating a secret honeypot operation that targeted President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. According to a recent report, apparently Cash Patel and Dan Bongino are looking for two female agents who took part in an off the books investigation that former FBI Director James comey launched in 2015. According to the Washington Times, the agents who were undercover, and again, this was off the books, were so called honeypot agents, a term that refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman who feigns sexual romantic interest to obtain information from a target.
- [24:53]
Unnamed Guest
That would make me so mad. You find out, ah, you just wanted to get some secret information on me. Ah, crap.
- [25:03]
Jack Armstrong
You're not hot for me. Dang it. I thought this was my big comeback as a stud. So this comes after the Times reported in early or in October 24th that the House Judiciary Committee was looking into whistleblowers claim that the agency, the FBI, targeted Trump, quote, soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015 in what was described as a fishing expedition, to find something which is a little bit redundant. But in a protected disclosure, the hawaiistol blower, an FBI agent claimed that two undercover agents had infiltrated Trump's presidential campaign and been instructed to act as honey pots while traveling with Trump, according to the outlet. And this whistleblower personally knew that Comey had ordered an FBI investigation against Trump and personally directed it.
- [25:55]
Unnamed Guest
Wow.
- [25:57]
Jack Armstrong
And again, it did not appear to target a specific crime, but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating about Trump.
- [26:05]
Unnamed Guest
I don't like the term honeypot.
- [26:09]
Jack Armstrong
We'll come up with a different one, too. Sticky hot babe. It's. It's very much. It's not law enforcement, it's espionage, political espionage. I wonder if they'll find anything on this and if, you know, they'll identify the honey pot agents and whether they'll pose provocatively and skimpy where. I'm just asking the questions.
- [26:35]
Unnamed Guest
Everybody's Thinking, oh my God.
- [26:39]
Jack Armstrong
I mean, it's. How sweet is the honey?
- [26:42]
Unnamed Guest
So tawdry on both ends. Just, you're, you're pretending I'm giving up secrets because I think I might, you know, get some friction from you.
- [26:58]
Jack Armstrong
Wow, that's a, that's a romantic way to put it all.
- [27:01]
Unnamed Guest
I'm telling you, it ain't Atlantic. So, so that's my point. It's just tawdry on both ends.
- [27:07]
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Wow. Yeah. No kidding. You're pretending to want me to, like. Well, and let's not forget all of this is completely inappropriate or of course, that you're, you're doing this at all, but you're going to pretend to be hot for me to get some sort of incriminating information against the guy who's like, unindicted and, you know, there are no warrants or anything like that. And in the meantime, I'm gonna go ahead and spill the beans, hoping I'm, I'm gonna get my blank. Blank or whatever. Yeah, that's just all.
- [27:39]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, I know.
- [27:40]
Jack Armstrong
Let's be better than that, America.
- [27:42]
Unnamed Guest
Yes, let's be better than that.
- [27:44]
Jack Armstrong
Says Hunter Biden with a schlong out and a gun in his hand. Let's do better, America, and buy my own one of my paintings. Would you?
- [27:52]
Unnamed Guest
Is he going to be able to stay on the right side of sobriety now that he's broke? And, and, and, and, and it starts to become more obvious to him that the days of driving around in a $180,000 Porsche and having hot chicks at my side are over and are never coming back.
- [28:13]
Jack Armstrong
Has he been disbarred after his convictions and stuff? Because, I mean, he could open a personal injury shop or something like that. You know, big billboards by the side of the highway. I give you my word as a Biden, we'll get the top settlement. Got to do something.
- [28:32]
Unnamed Guest
That's pretty funny. Been rear ended. Does your neck hurt? Well, it certainly should.
- [28:38]
Jack Armstrong
Call Hunter. We'll hunt for the best settlement the law allows.
- [28:43]
Unnamed Guest
Exactly. We'll finish strong.
- [28:46]
Jack Armstrong
Next, Armstrong and Getty.

Vance with his three year old daughter approached on the sidewalks of Cincinnati on.
- [28:53]
Saturday by protesters supportive of Ukraine.
- [28:57]
Vance posting that the protesters followed us.
- [28:59]
Around and shouted as my daughter grew.
- [29:01]
Increasingly anxious and scared, though noting it.
- [29:04]
Jack Armstrong
Was a mostly respectful conversation.
- [29:07]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, that was on NBC News even. I appreciate that. I don't, I don't like that new thing that we do in America on either side. So let's stop doing that. God, especially when they got their kid with them. Oh, my God.
- [29:19]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah. Berating somebody loudly, angrily in public while they're with their children. You're. You're a monster. Speaking of being like, he's gonna say, you know. You know, your loud, unhinged yelling has really convinced me that I've been wrong all along. Thank you for sharing.
- [29:36]
Unnamed Guest
Well, it's an attempt to scare you into doing it, that you'll be physically scared to go a certain direction, which is not a good way to run a country. My. Speaking of kids, I was with my son, had his birthday on Friday. I talked a lot about that, and we went and did something. Maybe I'll talk about tomorrow, but. But we. Saturday did his birthday meal, and I was kind of making plans, and then I decided, well, I ought to ask him what he wants to eat, so if he could eat anywhere, you know, when close enough we can get to. Where would you like to eat for your birthday? He said, can I choose whatever I want? And I said, yeah, I think so, if it's a legitimate restaurant. Kentucky Fried Chicken. I said, really? I said, I mean, you know, I know you like Kentucky, but of all the places we could eat, that's what you said? That's what I want more than anything. So.
- [30:26]
Jack Armstrong
Sounds like you're trying to put a greasy thumb on the scales here.
- [30:29]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, I was. I can't even. I can't even wolf that down anymore.
- [30:32]
Jack Armstrong
You just can't, because you know what's coming.
- [30:37]
Unnamed Guest
I didn't need that. Nobody needed that.
- [30:39]
Jack Armstrong
Why did you say, be honest?
- [30:41]
Unnamed Guest
Who's listening that wants to hear you say that?
- [30:42]
Jack Armstrong
Honesty is my hallmark in accuracy.
- [30:45]
Unnamed Guest
But, yes, we went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for his birthday meal. Yeah.
- [30:50]
Jack Armstrong
I gotta admit, I would be somewhat disappointed.
- [30:54]
Unnamed Guest
I was.
- [30:54]
Jack Armstrong
Because I might get it announced.
- [30:55]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah. I thought we were gonna go eat a, you know, a decent meal somewhere. I was kind of excited about it, but.
- [31:02]
Jack Armstrong
I was talking meatballs at home. That was my choice, as you recall, just a few weeks ago.
- [31:07]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, I don't. I can't cook, really. So that's. That's what limits that. I don't. That's. It's an unfortunate. And I hate the fact that that's true, that I don't have some meal that I craft for them that is one of their favorite meals. But I don't. And I don't suppose at this point I'm gonna change that. What was I gonna say?
- [31:25]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, well, you can. I mean, doing pasta is not. Surely you can cook pasta, right?
- [31:29]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, but not in a way that's gonna make it your Favorite meal, probably, yeah.
- [31:34]
Jack Armstrong
Good sauce out of a jar. Good meatballs out of the. Whatever. A meat case.
- [31:39]
Unnamed Guest
Good meatballs out of the meat case.
- [31:42]
Jack Armstrong
Wherever you get meatballs.
- [31:43]
Unnamed Guest
We. We had some good pizza the other night, and I was talking to about a pizza and how pizza has stayed roughly the same price since I was his age. And that's why it's so crappy now is that they must have just decided that they couldn't go up with inflation over the years, so they kept using. And there's a bunch of chains that have done this. I mean, this is documented using crappier and crappier ingredients over the years to try to keep the prices sort of the same. And. And, you know, a lot of pizza that I used to love is now not edible. I mean, various houses of pizza, if you know what I would. From saying, yeah, huts of pizza. I like my pizza to come in huts. I used to love their pizza and.
- [32:25]
Jack Armstrong
Unassuming huts of pizza, somehow they managed.
- [32:27]
Unnamed Guest
To have the same price now as they did in 1995. Something I had to give.
- [32:33]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, wait, what? Cat sausage.
- [32:38]
Unnamed Guest
It is time for Final Thoughts with.
- [32:43]
Jack Armstrong
Your host, Jack and Julie. I'm sure I approve of this.
- [33:04]
Unnamed Guest
Oh, wow.
- [33:04]
Jack Armstrong
Fireworks.
- [33:06]
Unnamed Guest
There's even a fireworks display at the end.
- [33:08]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, delightful.
- [33:09]
Unnamed Guest
Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
- [33:12]
Jack Armstrong
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the day. Michelangelo, do you have a final thought for us? Yeah, you know, this morning the elevators were broken and I got really winded.
- [33:21]
Unnamed Guest
If I had to go up another.
- [33:22]
Joe Getty
Floor or two, I would have just.
- [33:23]
Jack Armstrong
Got on my cell phone and called.
- [33:25]
Joe Getty
In sick, I think.
- [33:26]
Unnamed Guest
Oh, yeah.
- [33:26]
Jack Armstrong
From the stairway.
- [33:27]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah.
- [33:28]
Jack Armstrong
And slumped on down the stairs. You came up. Katie Greener, esteemed newswoman, is giggling. Do you have a final thought, Katie?
- [33:34]
Unnamed Guest
Yes. I had every intention of following my.
- [33:36]
Diet this weekend, but one of you guys last week mentioned a barbecue chicken pizza, so I went for it this weekend.
- [33:41]
Jack Armstrong
Oh, yeah.
- [33:42]
Unnamed Guest
So good.
- [33:44]
Jack Armstrong
Little onion on there. Barbecue sauce. Jack, final thought for us.
- [33:48]
Unnamed Guest
Yeah, funny you should mention diet, Michael. I need to use the stairs every single day. I should walk to work actually carrying a heavy weight. The scale was not kind to me this morning. The scale really showed me some tough love this morning.
- [34:03]
Jack Armstrong
Technically, you are walking to work carrying a heavy weight. It's your ass. My final thought. And I can't be the only one. Between the time change and allergies, I can't keep my eyes open. I just want to curl up and take a nap.
- [34:20]
Unnamed Guest
I am off, man. Allergies are bad right now, you know.
- [34:23]
Jack Armstrong
And it's just your eyes feel like they feel when you're super tired. So the combination of the things. Oh, I just want to take a nap.
- [34:29]
Unnamed Guest
Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
- [34:32]
Jack Armstrong
So many people to thank, so little time. Go to armstrong getty.com got some hot links for you there. Oh, some good thought provoking reads. You can drop us a note mail back@armstrong yeti.com if you see something we ought to be talking about. Pick up some Angie swag while you're at the site, huh?
- [34:46]
Unnamed Guest
Too much news every day. Somebody needs to do something about that. But whatever happens in the next 20 hours, we'll have that for you on the next Armstrong and Getty show. What's your name? Tell us your name. Armstrong and Getty.
- [35:01]
Joe Getty
I think it takes two to tango.
- [35:02]
Unnamed Guest
Match made in heaven. I think you're star spangled also so good. Repeat the line. So good.
- [35:10]
Joe Getty
Let's go with a bang.
- [35:11]
Jack Armstrong
And according to J.D. power, drivers are underwhelmed by gesture controls where one can say, increase the volume by rotating an imaginary knob in the air.
- [35:20]
Unnamed Guest
You're an imaginary knob.
- [35:22]
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
- [35:23]
Unnamed Guest
On that high note. Bye bye.

Jack Armstrong
