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

Armstrong and Getty.

Unnamed Co-host
And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

Unnamed Guest
Three tough hearings loom. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. Kash Patel to head the FBI and RFK junior to run hhs. Kennedy met with GOP North Dakota Senator John Hoeven today. Farm state Republicans worry about Kennedy wanting to cut high fructose corn syrup from food.
- [00:46]
Unnamed Co-host
There is nobody who is sane that can defend high fructose corn syrup in food, but the farmers love it because it makes them money.
- [00:55]
Joe Getty
Or what about from a freedom standpoint? People get to. Companies get to put it in their food if it's cheaper and you get to decide you don't want to eat stuff that's got high fructose corn syrup in it. How about that?
- [01:07]
Unnamed Co-host
I. I have no problem with that.
- [01:10]
Joe Getty
I go back and forth on that one. I mean, ultimately I land on the freedom side of it, but I wish a lot of this stuff didn't exist. Yeah. Just. There's no benefit to us to have that around. Just get the hell rid of it. But that, that's one of the Kn. RFK Jr. Even if you agree with some of the stuff, is he wants big government to decide what should and shouldn't be in food. And they have made many mistakes over the years. As we've talked about before, big government told us margarine was better than butter. Turns out margarine, which is just a tub of trans fat, is the single worst thing you could possibly give your body. But we did it for our entire childhoods because the government told us it was best. That's why you don't want the government in charge of that sort of thing.
- [01:49]
Unnamed Co-host
Yeah, the government is more prone to being perverted by bribery or various other pressures than normal, normal human beings. Not less. More.
- [01:58]
Joe Getty
The RFK Jr hearing has begun and we're gonna when the questioning starts, especially where we'll bring in some highlights. I think it's going to get exciting right off the bat. Democrats, I'm guessing particularly are going to try to tab him as anti vax, which is interesting given the fact that that was the Democrat Lane. My whole life was being anti vax, but it flipped during COVID because of Trump and all kinds of different reasons. First this. So tan. So freaking tan. He looks like my dad's saddle that I've got sitting in the corner of my bedroom.
- [02:34]
Unnamed Co-host
Makes Trump look like an albino.
- [02:38]
Jack Armstrong
Right?
- [02:41]
Joe Getty
Makes Trump look like your Goth 19 year old daughter who lives in the basement. What is Kennedy's thing for getting tan? Is he a tanning bed guy? Does he lay out in the sun? Do we know that is extraordinarily tan. It's like, it's like he thought this week, oh, I got my hearing coming up. I better get good and tan.
- [03:00]
Unnamed Co-host
Yeah. Oh, he's, he's definitely a fake baked guy. 100%.
- [03:03]
Joe Getty
You think? Is there any chance he's shirtless by the end of the hearing? Because he likes to be. He likes to go to those outdoor gyms where there's cameras around and lift weights and jeans and work boots. He is a very fit dude. No doubt.
- [03:13]
Unnamed Co-host
Sure.
- [03:16]
Joe Getty
Mark Halpern wrote an interesting paragraph today about how this whole thing is going to go down. Should I do that first or maybe I'll do that first and then we'll get to his, his cousin Caroline Kennedy's blast and all that sort of stuff. Which is all is what it is. So Mark Halpern in his newsletter today, what to watch for. How the chairman today and tomorrow the chair different chairman today and different chairman tomorrow conduct the hearings as compared to the pro hexif manner in which the chair ran the Hegseth thing, you know, because some of the Republicans, a lot of the Republicans are anti RFK Jr. So the chair could, you know, doesn't necessarily have to be all in for trying to get him nominated. So that's unknown. How much team MAGA mobilizes in favor. See further comparison how efforts crushed the opposition to Hegseth. So is MAGA going to get all in on you better not cross us or not. That's unknown. If, if Trump's really bought in and it's how the nominee does testifying his own behalf. If the Maha make America healthy again. Grassroots explodes with outrage at those threatening to vote no. Whether RFK Jr. Can draw any Democratic support. You'd think he could because he's for a lot of the things. I mean, he's a, he's a, he's a pro choice guy. He's a lot of the things that Democrats want in hhs. Whether the hearing process and news coverage define him as a vaccine, skeptic, wackadoodle or as an historic champion for the health of our children. Whether Trump goes all in on the wavering Rs and puts pressure on them, we don't know that or not. But mark Halperin says 77% chance of confirmation, so that's pretty high.
- [05:06]
Unnamed Co-host
Wow. Wow. That is. I'm surprised. I internally, I Had the number lower. You know, we had a discussion about this before the show and I thought you said something really interesting, which is a big factor with rfk, because I threw a couple of quotes at Jack, things he said in recent years, I mean, like in 2023, which is pretty recently, he said there is no vaccine that is safe and effective, which is really. Well, it's, it's dumb, it's wrong.
- [05:32]
Joe Getty
But you replied, he's a bomb chucker and always has been. And it's a good way to get attention. And sometimes you have to pay a price for your bomb chucking. You have to, you have to explain them away. People, people who do the bomb chucking thing and we do that and talk radio, you do it all the time. But there's not a lot of nuance to bomb chucking. It, it's exciting, it gets attention, but a lot of times you don't mean it 100%. It's just direct.
- [05:55]
Unnamed Co-host
Every word I say, every single word.
- [05:57]
Joe Getty
Without exception, it's directionally right. But there are caveats and I think he's going to have to get into that today. He's gonna have to explain, I know, I didn't mean every vaccine. There's never been a safe vaccine. That, that would be ridiculous. I don't know if you'll say, yeah.
- [06:14]
Unnamed Co-host
I'm so conflicted about RFK because I think he's right on a lot of things that are really important. I also think he's a phony and agreed head, honestly. But there are times I get that sort of bomb chucking. It reminds me of what the Trump administration is doing right now when they temporarily suspended the grants and loans and stuff and then temporarily suspended all foreign aid. It's zero sum budgeting where you say, all right, let's pretend that, well, let's declare we don't need to spend a day dollar on this stuff. Now let's talk about how much we really want to spend. Let's not just blindly go from year to year because we spent X last year, we're going to spend X this year. And I think at times a guy like rfk, what he's doing is saying there are no vaccines that are safe and effective. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, there are. Let's start with this vaccine. And then you have a discussion about how safe and effective that vaccine is and then you go to the next one. It's like zero sum budgeting. I don't think it's necessarily useless. On the other hand, I also Think some of his methods are highly questionable, but they would take a long time to describe. It has to do with how friendly is with trial lawyers who make zillions of dollars on class action lawsuits that I believe are one of the forces ruining America.
- [07:33]
Joe Getty
Well, I'll tell you what I'm hoping they get to the bottom of in the hearing today. But first, let's hear from Caroline Kennedy before we get too far away from that. She is, you know, she's a Kennedy. And I kind of loathe the Kennedys, actually.
- [07:46]
Unnamed Co-host
You know, they get.
- [07:46]
Joe Getty
They get worse as you get further away from John F. K the Kennedy down the line, living off the name Kennedy. Kennedys are so annoying as you get further along.
- [08:00]
Unnamed Co-host
Well, right. And you know how I'm always saying I'm as interested in an orthodontist's opinion on an issue than I am as an actress or whatever? Why would I pay attention to that line of work over another? I'm as likely to listen to the Smiths and the Johnsons and the Schwarzes as the Kennedys. Why the hell is Kennedy worth anything more than anybody else?
- [08:23]
Joe Getty
So what is she, a cousin anyway?
- [08:24]
Unnamed Co-host
She wrote a letter's daughter, for God's sake. Oh, cousin Bobby, right?
- [08:29]
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. This is what she said about RFK Jr yesterday.
- [08:34]
Caroline Kennedy
I've known Bobby my whole life. We grew up together. It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because Bobby himself is a predator. He's always been charismatic, able to attract others through the strength of his personality, his willingness to take risks and break the rules. I watch his younger brothers and cousins follow him down the path of drug addiction. His basement, his garage, his dorm room were always the center of the action where drugs were available. And he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.
- [09:11]
Unnamed Co-host
Whoa.
- [09:12]
Caroline Kennedy
It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.
- [09:16]
Joe Getty
What did she say he was putting in the blender? Kittens and what?
- [09:19]
Unnamed Co-host
Chickens and mice.
- [09:21]
Joe Getty
Oh, no. Kittens, chickens and mice. Chickens in the blender downstairs, high blended up. Chickens and mice. The Kennedys. Camelot. Yes. We cannot die, Doctor. My cousin planted up chickens in the basement.
- [09:45]
Unnamed Co-host
She also went on at length about how he's unqualified. He's addicted to intention. He's a hypocrite. He vaccinated his own kids with the full slate, even as he was saying they were dangerous. And I. I don't know.
- [09:57]
Joe Getty
Well, let's hear that, because that's an interesting angle. That one. That's 23.
- [10:03]
Caroline Kennedy
Bobby is addicted to attention and power. Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children, vaccinating his own kids while building a following, hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs. Even before he fills this job, his constant denigration of our health care system and the conspiratorial half truths he's told about vaccines, including in connection with Samoa's deadly 2019 outbreak of measles.
- [10:34]
Joe Getty
I'm sorry, that cost lives. I can't even as interesting as some of that is and should be looked into, I can't get past the video I saw yesterday of her not that long ago standing with the Bidens and talking about how Joe Biden is ready to go for another four years and fit and ready and as sharp as he. So she's completely full of crap. Completely full of crap. Whenever it's something she wants. So whatever.
- [10:58]
Unnamed Co-host
Who's with me? Deport all the Kennedys back to Ireland or whoever will take them. All of them. And if you're a Kennedy, totally unrelated, you gotta change Your name to O'Harla Hand or something else Irish.
- [11:10]
Joe Getty
My favorite Kennedy story. This is Kennedy OG Joe Kennedy. The the original dad of JFK and RFK seniors him on his knees with his with his pants down in front of FDR because FDR told him to and FDR just did it. A show of how Joe Kennedy will do anything I tell him to do. Wow, I love that story.
- [11:43]
Unnamed Co-host
Coming up, we were way too easy on Selena Gomez. I will explain her wackadoodle Oscar bait movie. But first a word from our friends at prize picks. The big game is almost here and it's now or never. Don't miss out on the last football game of the season with prize picks. The best way to win cash while watching the big contest.
- [12:02]
Joe Getty
Yeah, how many yards do you think Travis Kelsey is going to have catching the ball? You go with more or less on the number that they have. There are all kinds of different stats on the big game and you can win a lot of money and all you do is you download the app today, get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup.
- [12:21]
Unnamed Co-host
And listen to this. Prize picks is giving away a free pick for the big game where one of the starting quarterbacks will only need to throw 1 yard to win. So if you're correct on at more stat projection you can win real cash. You just have to go one for one.
- [12:36]
Joe Getty
Will Wordy have more than 56 and a half yards? That's clearly a yes, in my opinion.
- [12:40]
Unnamed Co-host
But anyway, is he worthy of your beliefs? Jack, download the Prize Picks app today. Use that code Armstrong. Get $50 instantly. Just. We're playing a $5 lineup. Whether you win or lose doesn't matter. Prize picks run your game. Remember that Code Armstrong.
- [12:54]
Joe Getty
The thing I'd like them to nail down in the hearing today, and I think a lot of these people are going to come loaded with stats to argue with RFK Jr. Is his claim that American children are the sixth children in the world. What does he mean by that? And is that true or not? Because I actually don't know. Do we have more autism, anxiety, depression, obesity than other countries? And if we do, we ought to spend a lot of time talking about that.
- [13:19]
Unnamed Co-host
And if that's true, all the more reason to be very, very careful who we put in charge of hhs. But yeah, well, there's much to be discussed.
- [13:28]
Joe Getty
We've had people in charge who didn't bring up the topic hardly at all. It would seem to. So, yeah, more on the way. Stay here.
- [13:35]
Jack Armstrong
Armstrong and Getty.
- [13:43]
Unnamed Co-host
The Biden administration spent $15 million to hand out contraceptives and condoms in Afghanistan. This after failing to convince the goats to go on the p. Goat blankers.
- [13:59]
Joe Getty
Wow, that's. I believe that's what he's suggesting.
- [14:01]
Unnamed Co-host
That was the inference I took from it, Jack.
- [14:07]
Joe Getty
Oh, my God. So have you been following this? I'm. I'm glad I've caught on to this or that. I hope enough people have caught on to it. I'm afraid it's not true. So we have talked about. There's a name for it. What is the name for it? This trick, I can't remember, but it's from the lefty playbook. We've been using the example of your Republican legislature in some state bans porn in the school libraries. Then the activist librarian takes out Romeo and Juliet because it's got sex scene in it and blames the porn ban. And then the media goes crazy about how they've banned Romeo and Juliet.
- [14:57]
Unnamed Co-host
Right.
- [14:57]
Joe Getty
Because the media eats it up and willfully misinterpreting. And people are pointing out this and it's not. Hasn't caught on as much yet. Because I'm hoping enough people have caught into the playbook. I think it's going to catch fire, though. So ending DEI in the military, you got. I forget where it was, but somebody, some deep stater in the military removed any teaching in military schools about the Tuskegee Airmen, you know, the Black Airmen during World War II, and said they're not allowed to teach it because of the DEI stuff that Trump banned. It doesn't have nothing to that. That's made up and then, you know, hoping the media will jump on it. They no longer teach black history. They're hiding from people now the fact that we once had black pilots during World War II.
- [15:44]
Unnamed Co-host
Right. Trying the Ron DeSantis maneuver again. The don't say gay bill, the don't teach about the Tuskegee Airmen bill, even though that's completely different.
- [15:54]
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. So I hope that. Yeah, I hope everybody doesn't fall for it the same way. An interesting chart came across yesterday. Apparently young people aren't digging living with their parents as much as they thought they would or as much as kids used to or something. But finally it's trending the correct direction in terms of young people still staying at home. This is 25 to 34 year olds, as Joe and I are each in our mid-80s, but we're always talking about how when we were younger, if, when we were 25, if you'd have come across another 25 year old that still lived with his parents, it would have been extraordinary.
- [16:31]
Unnamed Co-host
I mean, you'd have told everybody, you know, because it was so rare and odd.
- [16:35]
Joe Getty
And then it became relatively common, for instance, 18% at the peak in 2018, and it had been climbing year by year from the 90s to that 18%. Wow. That's pretty high. But it started dropping back down again. So for the first time since the 80s, it is trending downward for whatever reason. And I don't know what that reason is. No, there's some belief that that's why rents have gotten higher. There's more demand because there's more people. That's decided I need to get out of here. But I don't know why the current crop of 20 year olds are saying, I can't live with my parents versus the crop of 27 year olds from 10 years ago that thought, this is perfectly cool with me.
- [17:23]
Unnamed Co-host
I realize this isn't a very scholarly sounding explanation, but living at home with your parents at the age of 25 is a bad idea. It's bad for them, it's bad for you. It's just bad. Could it be that as a society we've cumulatively discovered it's bad?
- [17:40]
Joe Getty
Wow.
- [17:41]
Unnamed Co-host
And it's, it's, it's in the air.
- [17:42]
Joe Getty
It's also funny that I only looked at it from one end. Maybe parents have changed as much, deciding, I don't want you living at my house. I got all kinds of plans. I mean, I liked raising you, but I'm done now and I'm ready to move on to the next stage of my life.
- [17:57]
Unnamed Co-host
Sure. Tough love and. Or a reasonable setting of boundaries.
- [18:01]
Joe Getty
Yeah. You have any guess why it's trending down now? Text line 415295 KFTC.

Unnamed Co-host
Speaking of young people with problems, Selena Gomez blubbering online. A bit was made of that. Back and forth. The story behind the story and the story behind that. Coming up next, Armstrong and Getty. So many controversies. RFK junior Tulsi Gabbard. That's another can of worms arguing about immigration, crime, blah, blah. This segment, something we can all just enjoy Kicking the hell out of Hollywood. Okay. Oh, and what a kicking it's going to be. I've been so excited about this since yesterday when it all came together. First of all, starlet and struggling with mental illness, young actress Selena Gomez. From the Internet.
- [18:57]
Selena Gomez
I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. All my people are getting attacked and children, they don't understand. I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something, but I can't. I don't know what to do. I'll try everything, I promise.
- [19:26]
Unnamed Co-host
As America's immigrant community was crying out for Selena Gomez to do something or not. Or look, she's a young gal, struggles with mental illness. That's fine. We were very easy, very fatherly with her yesterday.
- [19:41]
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah. She, she went with the no makeup look, which is very popular in those videos. You do the no makeup thing for some reason that lends it credibility or.
- [19:51]
Unnamed Co-host
Something because you've got to be vulnerable and compassionate. As we were discussing yesterday, those are the two things that get you a lot of social approval, especially as a. And if you look beautiful and glam, you're not as vulnerable. Anyway. Tom Holman, who's heading up ICE these days, had a reply.
- [20:08]
Tom Holman
We got a quarter million Americans dead from fentanyl cross the open border. Where's the tears for them? I met with hundreds of angels, moms and dads who were separated from their children because they buried them because they were killed by illegal alien. We got a half a million children were sex trafficked into this country, put separated from their families, put in the hands of criminal cartels to be smuggling the country this administration can't find worth 300,000. Worst of tears for them.
- [20:33]
Unnamed Co-host
Okay, we're going to get back to Selena Gomez and her horrific new movie and why she might be blubbering about immigration online in a moment.
- [20:41]
Joe Getty
Hey. Wow.
- [20:42]
Unnamed Co-host
After first this Hollywood reeling After Kamala's loss, quote, biggest stars in the world are losing their relevance. And the industry is realizing it won't be able to repeat its Trump resistance playbook, according to a couple of big time Hollywood insiders quoted on the condition of anonymity.
- [21:03]
Joe Getty
Yeah, I don't want to derail this at all, but we've been talking a lot about tipping points on various things like where we all, we all agree criminal legals shouldn't be here. Oh, we're all in agreement. Why were we scared to say so? Okay, let's say so. And now it's just okay. And a couple other issues on like that trains to a certain extent, the Hollywood thing too, I think. Like the country's just decided to. You know what, I don't care what Bruce Springsteen says. You know, I don't either. And now that seems silly that anybody ever did.
- [21:33]
Unnamed Co-host
A prominent Hollywood talent manager believes Kamala Harris lost to President Trump in November shows that Hollywood no longer drives the culture as it once did. Wow. Since the plethora of celebrities endorsed Harris failed to alter the outcome of the election. Hollywood doesn't matter as much as it thinks it's matter. I screwed up the key line. Hollywood doesn't matter as much as it thinks it matters, the unnamed talent manager with a list clients told Vulture pop culture website. Also a fantastic bird of prey among the scavenger.
- [22:09]
Joe Getty
I believe technically you're right. That's a different thing.
- [22:13]
Unnamed Co-host
Bright parts reported among the stars to publicly back Harris were Taylor Swift, Beyonce, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Stiller, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Lopez and Julia Roberts and more. Tonight on the Night of a Thousand Stars who are completely irrelevant. Why would were they ever relevant? And they go into some specifics of Disney pulling an anti Trump theme from their new Marvel superhero movie, Captain America, Brave New World, the star of which, by the way, is an America hater. Oh, more on that another time. Anyway, he's this very powerful general who becomes kind of a fascist and turns into a raging red Hulk. That was seen as an allusion to Trump, the source told Vulture. So they've soft pedaled it. Anyway, let's get back to little Selena Gomez and her blubbering over immigration.
- [23:05]
Joe Getty
So Joe loves beating up on Disney prison princesses. That's his favorite thing. Oh.
- [23:11]
Unnamed Co-host
Oh, please. If I got a chance between playing pebble beach and beating up a Disney princess, please put the clubs away. Let's get to the beaten. Anyway, so Giancarlo Sopo in the National Review writes, selena Gomez, crocodile Tears were not for migrants. She just tried pulling off what she could not deliver in her latest box office flop, a convincing performance in a now deleted Instagram video. The entertainer sobbed over deportations. Blah, blah, blah. I wish I could do something, she whimpered, tears straining down her face. The problem with these theatrics is they're glaring inconsistency. And then he makes a couple of points about where were the sobbing displays when Barack Obama's immigration policies earned him the moniker deporter in chief? Where was her anguish when Joe Biden's border fiasco left thousands of migrant children at the mercy of cartel violence and human traffickers?
- [24:03]
Joe Getty
Well, for her, specifically on the Barack Obama thing, I think she'd have been like 9 years old or something, but.
- [24:09]
Unnamed Co-host
That'S a fair defense. Gomez claimed that Trump is targeting her people. Doesn't even make sense. Mexican nationals have been a minority of illegal border crossings since 2017, and she was born in Texas. And if she were concerned about attacks against her people, she'd be crying over the murder of Jocelyn Nungare, a 12 year old Houston girl who was sexually assaulted and killed by illegal immigrants from Venezuela. But that, that is. Those are good, solid arguments, but if you're talking about an always at risk of cracking up, mentally troubled Hollywood starlet, it's not about logic anyway. But this is the part I found really interesting. Her team, her tears, he writes, seem less like heartfelt concern, more like calculated form of damage control. After latest film Cartel Cabaret, Emilia Perez crashed and burned spectacular, spectacularly in Mexico last weekend. Uh, credit where it's due. Gomez, the ever, ever savvy self marketer, knows exactly how to spin a debacle to a cause celeb. It bombed so badly in Mexico. The new movie about a, a sex changing cartel boss who becomes a crusader for feminist rights, if you can believe that.
- [25:24]
Joe Getty
But this, this is the movie that's up for all the Oscars. Yes, but, but they didn't like it in Mexico.
- [25:31]
Unnamed Co-host
Oh, oh, they laughed at it during the dramatic scenes. It made something like $74,000. It's lost all sorts of money. It's been blasted by all the critics, all the, the popular, the like, the people's polls in Mexico. Her Spanish is being mocked constantly because she's not a native Spanish speaker. Didn't know it. And, and, and, and the Mexican people hate this movie. They just couldn't hate it more.
- [25:58]
Joe Getty
And it's nominated for more Oscars than any other movie.
- [26:01]
Unnamed Co-host
Which brings, exactly, which brings me to my favorite part. Amelia Perez and the curse of Oscar Bait by River Page. And I hadn't known a lot of this stuff because Hollywood isn't talking about it and nobody's seen this GD movie, so there's nobody to tell you about it.
- [26:18]
Joe Getty
First of all, I was predicting last week that the Oscar ceremony might be so bad I watch it in that they just fawn all over themselves about how great they are for nominating this trans movie and giving it awards. I mean, it'll be a night of a revulsion for me.
- [26:35]
Unnamed Co-host
This may be the Oscar battiest movie of all time. River writes. The last week they nominated, they hit emilia Perez with 13 total Oscar nominations. A French produced Spanish language musical about a transgender Mexican drug lord and her underappreciated girl boss, defense attorney. The film has already lost tens of millions of dollars. It's what people call Oscar bait. Sort of film that's made seemingly for the express purpose, purchase. I'm sorry, purpose of catching the attention of the members of the Academy. Blah, blah, blah. Then he goes through the list of some of the best picture winners. Think of 2016's Moonlight, a tragedy about a poor gay drug dealer that grossed 65 million. It beat La La Land, which grossed 509 million. Or think of Nomad Land, which won best picture in 2020, follows a homeless widow who travels the country in a van after losing her job in the Great Recession. I didn't remember the titles of those movies, much less what they were about. The tastes of the Academy are so predictable that they've been delightfully parodied. Most succinctly, perhaps, in an episode of American Dad. The. The. The cartoon in which Roger the alien takes on the super villain Persona and produces a film called Oscar Gold, about an intellectually disabled Jewish alcoholic whose puppy dies of cancer while he's hiding in an attic during the Holocaust. The movie is intended to make viewers cry themselves to death.
- [28:03]
Joe Getty
Yeah, and your best bit would be if you gained £40 for the role. You add that in.
- [28:07]
Unnamed Co-host
Or lost it.
- [28:08]
Joe Getty
Or lost it. Exactly.
- [28:10]
Unnamed Co-host
You just can't be your normal weight. That's the point. Late Night with Seth Meyers did a similar parody in 2017, producing a trailer for a fictional film simply called Oscar Bait, featuring, quote, racial tension, latent homosexuality, the French language and dialogue that feels sort of profound. All right, so anyway, this Amelia Perez wasn't good enough trans representation for the professional schools. Over. Blah, blah, blah. They also. Oh, I'm sorry, he gets off on a tangent there. That's silly. So this musical about a cartel boss who decides to Transition to a woman and has a girl boss defense lawyer that helps him become a crusader for women's rights. I mean, if that's not Oscar bait, what is?
- [29:04]
Joe Getty
God, it's. That would be hard to watch it. But you add in, it's a musical.
- [29:07]
Unnamed Co-host
It's also an effing musical. Jack. Clip 11. Michael. Hello.
- [29:12]
Unnamed Character
Very nice to meet you. I'd like to know about sex change operations. I see, I see, I see.
- [29:18]
Joe Getty
No, no.
- [29:20]
Unnamed Character
From men to woman, a woman to men, man to woman. From penis to vagina.
- [29:27]
Unnamed Co-host
Yes.
- [29:28]
Unnamed Character
This is a dream for you.
- [29:30]
Unnamed Co-host
For me.
- [29:33]
Unnamed Character
What would you like to know about it? Ma, I want to know it all. What is the protocol, the techniques and the risks? How operations, how much time do you need? Mammoplasty.
- [29:48]
Unnamed Co-host
Yes.
- [29:49]
Unnamed Character
Vaginoplasty?
- [29:50]
Unnamed Co-host
Yes. First of all, I can't believe that's real. Impossible.
- [30:04]
Joe Getty
Yeah. I can't believe that's real. And it sounds like when we do our bit where we're like singing things and making up words on the spot, I mean, it sounds like if I'm gonna go get coffee now, Michael, how much time do I have? Do I have time to stop by the bathroom also, or should I just get coffee? I mean, it sounds like they're just making it up to have a song.

I know. So Amelia Perez, which currently has a 24% on the popcorn meter on Rotten Tomatoes. Not even Mexicans like it. When the film hit theaters south of the border, there were so many refund requests, a government consumer protection agency had to become involved.
- [30:43]
Joe Getty
God, those people are so pretentious. So those Oscar, the Academy, whoever they are, the people that vote, they feel so good about themselves nominating a trans movie. Oh, aren't we fantastic? See, trans is hot right now. So we nominated to trans movie.
- [30:59]
Unnamed Co-host
And Trump's in office of Trump, right? Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God. So in. In very much the same way Joe Biden is. This is the best version. He's sharp as hell. He's ready to go. You can't keep up with him behind the scenes. How that broke the mainstream media and to a large extent, Hollywood. I think this is gonna finish the job. It is so nakedly, stupidly Oscar bait and such a terrible movie. I hope it's been nominated for 13 Oscar nominations. This is the end.
- [31:34]
Joe Getty
Yeah. And I wonder if it wins a bunch of them. And I hope that the Hollywood crowd hasn't caught on to this. And they do usual thing where they go up there when they win their awards and they just talk about how fantastic. I would like to dedicate this to the brave trans community. I mean, just really go over the top with it. Do it all. Do it, Hollywood. I dare you.
- [31:51]
Unnamed Co-host
Oh, I can't wait.
- [31:53]
Joe Getty
The only. The only thing that will save them is that nobody's gonna watch. I mean, the ratings are so low for the Oscars at this point. It's not like 10 years ago where 50 million people would tune in.
- [32:02]
Unnamed Co-host
They need will to come back and slap somebody. Yeah, the rematch. Oh, here's the deal. Also, much like senile Biden didn't require you to be a news junkie to get the. The, you know, the overall dynamics of the thing, the mockery which is going to follow a movie which nobody sees. Those who see it don't like it tanked in Mexico. The object of ridicule, winning all those Oscars. This is it. This is the coup de grace, the death knell for Hollywood. And I celebrate it.

Speaking of ratings, we were just talking about how the Oscar ratings ain't what they used to be. It used to be the second most watched show in America by a lot, behind only the super bowl. And now it's dropped off and it's just another show. But the super bowl, still a really big deal to that. Chiefs Bills on Sunday had almost 58 million viewers. Is a big number. And I just thought it was interesting because I was talking yesterday about. As a Chiefs fan, I realize how hated the Chiefs are now, but that's always the case with the dynasties. People claim they hate the same old team all the time, but way more people watch when it's the same old team or teams when it's a Chiefs, the Lakers, the Patriots, the Bulls, the whoever. Way more people watch then. So I want somebody different. I'm sick of this. And then you get, you know, Colts, Chargers, and a tenth as many people tune in. So it's just a fact as a TV show.

Unnamed Co-host
Yeah, there are a hundred examples of it in pop culture. It's. It's a game of stars. James Bond movies get made over and over again. Different dude, different characteristics, different adventures, some commonality. But it's.
- [34:04]
Joe Getty
It's the brand.
- [34:06]
Unnamed Co-host
It's. It's a big name. It's a big villain. You don't have unknown superheroes fighting against unknown villains these days. It'd probably be more interesting if you did. But the Chiefs are a brand. They're, they're the, you know, the. The big villain.

Joe Getty
That's Luther. That's a huge number for an AFC championship game, especially in the modern world where so many other things. Watch. Want to get this on? They think they've answered the drone question. Remember that? Drones over New Jersey. What was going on? Carolyn Levitt, who's Trump's press secretary, you'll get to know her name. She did her first thing yesterday, and this is what she said.
- [34:39]
I
And before I turn to questions, I do have news directly from the President of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office. From President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones. After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse. Due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.
- [35:16]
Joe Getty
So how are the people of New Jersey feeling about this?
- [35:20]
J
After more than two months of frustration and concern during the Biden administration, several residents in New Jersey tell Fox News Tonight that they're grateful to President Donald Trump for following through on his promise and explaining, at least to some extent, what was going on with the mysterious drones over New Jersey for the past two months.
- [35:38]
Joe Getty
So the FAA had authorized some research drones. Why didn't we get told that right off the bat? Does he mean know?
- [35:47]
Unnamed Co-host
I would just guess that the hugeness and unresponsiveness of bureaucracies, well, that's pretty weak.
- [35:54]
Joe Getty
Remember when the governor of New Jersey said, it's our highest priority as the governor of a state, your highest priority is to figure out what the drones were. And you couldn't get a call back saying, yeah, it's some research stuff. Yeah, we all know all about it. Why? What?
- [36:08]
Unnamed Co-host
Plus a handful of hobbyists. It's fine. Don't worry about it.
- [36:12]
Joe Getty
I still find it disturbing on some level, and not because I think the drones are space aliens or anything. Just the. Just the messiness of bureaucracy and answering questions and part of it, just what RFK Jr already said. Some interesting things. We'll have that for you in hour three.
