Transcript

[Jack Armstrong]

Foreign.

[Joe Getty]

From the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Michael]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here, Armstrong.

[Jack Armstrong]

Welcome to the last Armstrong and Getty show of the year, 2024.

[Michael]

Oh, my, senor, where did the year go?

[Jack Armstrong]

It just whizzed by. No, it didn't. Seemed like 10 years. Seemed like 10 years.

[Michael]

Felt like a beating.

[Jack Armstrong]

When will it end? When did we first start the whole, thank God this year's over thing? That was 2020. 2020.

[Michael]

Yes, 2020.

[Jack Armstrong]

The first big year. Covid and had George Floyd and all that sort of stuff. And as it got, you know, thank God, 22. And every year now is just crazy. Every year. And that's got to end sometime, I would assume, or. We had a weird period in. In history where things were calmer than they're supposed to be and this is normal.

[Michael]

I found this year weird and wild and troubling, but also somewhat entertaining in a way that, like, the COVID years were not.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, a good point. There's nothing entertaining about COVID especially if you had kids. Now, that was horrible. But following the whole presidential election and lot, lots of the ins and outs was pretty entertaining. I mean, some of, some of the interviews that went south and all that sort of stuff.

[Michael]

My God, the dramatic plot shifts and twists and, and surprise. What do you call it, the surprise guests or whatever it was. It was fantastic. If you'd laid out. All right, all right, here, here's how it's going to go. Biden's going to be plainly senile and, like, stumbling around and making a fool of himself. But then he's going to swear he's going to run again and all the Democrats are going to swear he's great. But then he's going to totally crack up on, like, the biggest debate ever on tv. And then. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me come up with something. Oh, the moron vice president's going to run. How's she going to run? She couldn't win a primary. They'll decide not to have a primary. I'm like, I'm not watching this movie. It's too stupid. It could never happen.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, we're about to get an eclipse to the year, and I think we're all going to be reminded of all the things that happened. Attempting to tear down Trump throughout the year with the various court cases and all that sort of stu stuff where you wondered if he was, you know, finally dead and turns out he was not, I guess.

[Michael]

Right. I'm sorry, I'm GIGGLING I'm marrying the ho. The invaluable, the lovely, the fabulous Marion. The ho has sent the list of the band names that we came up with this year as well as albums, songs, books and that sort of thing. And the first on the list is the Rambling Putin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, that. You know what that was? That was probably he had just done his press conference that he did yesterday. What was it, four and a half hours long. He does one of these a year where he sits down and takes questions that like, you know, if you ask a question he doesn't like, you're going to fall out a window later. But four and a half hours and you, you got to sit there and pretend you're interested for that amount of time.

[Michael]

They probably. Fidel Castro was legendary for that sort of thing too. Just rambling manifestos.

[Jack Armstrong]

One more thing before we start to get the clips of the year that I wanted to say. Oh, the only like news of the day question I have. Has Elon specifically come out and said he wouldn't take the speaker of the House job? Because that's being floated out there and that'd be an exciting development. Man, if you, if you're not aware of this, you don't have to be a member of Congress to be speaker of the House. It's just whoever gets 200 and whatever it is, 12, 13 votes, half to 17, I guess. I don't know how many people are.

[Michael]

Whatever.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, whatever it is if you can get the majority and get it and there's several Republicans came out and said they wanted Elon for speaker and other bunch jumped in. I don't know if there's enough to get him to be speaker but. And I don't know if he wants it. But you talk about an exciting wrinkle. That would be one boy, that would be crazy.

[Michael]

So we need to get to the clips of the year soonish. Michael suggested an opening clip. Jack in the traditional way has one he likes.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, go ahead.

[Michael]

So let's begin the show officially now. I'm not doing final. What?

[Jack Armstrong]

I'm not doing it. I refuse to do it. Go ahead if you want.

[Michael]

Refuse to do what?

[Jack Armstrong]

Starts show officially.

[Michael]

You want to run afoul of FCC rules and regs?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, I am. I'm flouting them. The government's shutting down tonight. I don't care. Go ahead, fcc. What are you going to do?

[Michael]

State's evidence in a moment.

[Jack Armstrong]

The government's shutting down. What are you going to do? FCC officials will be home without pay.

[Michael]

They got no power he's got a point. Anyway, let's start the show at Mark. Today, thousands of Amazon workers went on strike. It's not good. But everyone who waited too long to order a gift is, like, sweet.

[Jack Armstrong]

There's my excuse. Freaking Amazon.

[Michael]

You believe this?

[Jack Armstrong]

And I was going to surprise you. Okay, we're not doing news of the day today. Really? Because we got the clips of the year. But everybody's portraying that story as it's. If it's the Teamsters, have they play a minor role in this? Like barely any role in this whatsoever. All right, that's just. You're being misled by the media. But anyway, nobody wants to hear that.

[Michael]

Oh, boy. Terrible. Terrible. I don't actually have the. The sheet with the clips of the year in front of me.

[Jack Armstrong]

I suggest we start with the first one. That's. I'm gonna go crazy here.

[Michael]

Well, yeah, I was gonna get there.

[Jack Armstrong]

I think that's the place to start.

[Michael]

I approve of your plan. Let's take a fun look back at the year that was. This is January, right? Clips of the year.

[Joe Getty]

Let's be grown up about how we deal with our responsibilities. Let's talk about the fact that President Trump insisted an erection. What's gonna happen in this next election? I am terrified.

[Jack Armstrong]

We don't need another mealy mouth politician.

[Michael]

Who just tells you what she thinks.

[Jack Armstrong]

You want to hear.

[Joe Getty]

But every time he lies. Drake University. Don't turn this into a drinking game because you will be overserved by the end of the night.

[Michael]

She's gonna get smoked and you and I both know it. She's not up to this.

[Katie]

I've already started to like Christy better.

[Listener]

No.

[Michael]

No.

[Katie]

I am not gonna be today with Hunter Biden going into the. Going into Congress and just sitting down and the bedlam that's been caused.

[Joe Getty]

What are you afraid of? You have no balls.

[Michael]

Oh.

[Joe Getty]

Hunter Biden is terrified of strong, conservative Republican women.

[Michael]

Do you have a dad?

[Listener]

Does he call you?

[Katie]

Yes.

[Michael]

Answer the phone.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Michael]

I'll answer your question if you be quiet and let me make a statement. Okay. What crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden? Let me start again. How can anybody be certain that the.

[Jack Armstrong]

Administration would not go to the same.

[Michael]

Lengths to keep secret problems with President Biden's health? The studio crew taken hostage for at least 15 minutes on air as the country watched the big difference between the.

[Katie]

Golden Globes and the NFL?

[Jack Armstrong]

On the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift. I swear, there's just more to go to.

[Joe Getty]

Thank you for sharing your life with Me and for giving me two amazing kids Zisu and Wilder Wolf.

[Michael]

I love, I love my family Treshi.

[Joe Getty]

And Mac and Rizzo and Aussie.

[Listener]

I'll say my kids names appreciate very much. I also want to mention Congressman Deborah Ross. Where's Deborah? You. Oh, she couldn't be here. Actually that's not true. I got mixed up.

[Katie]

They'll pay the share. Sharon Stone, the Stone Temple Pilots.

[Michael]

But it's such boxing.

[Katie]

Cher, Sonny, listen, boxing match, match, game to get it on.

[Jack Armstrong]

First of all, if you do have the power to an incite an erection, I would like to have you on speed dial in case I need you on a Friday night. Wow.

[Michael]

Okay. Now is that worthy of making it to the finals for clip of the year? Now as we go through them we all are making mental notes and you good people drop us a note [e-mail] or email 415295kftc. What is the clip of the year?

[Jack Armstrong]

How many nominees are we going to have? 5, 10?

[Joe Getty]

4?

[Jack Armstrong]

9?

[Michael]

One of those numbers.

[Jack Armstrong]

5 seems number 10's a lot. I don't know.

[Michael]

Sure. Well, as many as are worthy. Why artificially impose a framework?

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good.

[Michael]

Right.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a good idea. One thing that I was reminded of by that clip, which was obviously from January of this year, is. Oh, that's right. The primary was still going on and there was some belief that Trump might not get it. I completely forgot that that was even out there as a conversation.

[Michael]

Sure, yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh yeah. Maybe Nikki Haley will win. Whatever. Oh my God. How much of your life is spent on stories you didn't need to follow? I mean just in general for everyone. A lot.

[Michael]

Oh goodness. Yeah, I suppose so. But I don't know if. Imagine if everything you thought about was the opposite had like permanent heavy importance. You would go mad.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, but that's not.

[Michael]

We need frivolous.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's not the. Can't frivolous be like watching a sitcom or listening to music or something as opposed to really learning a lot about Nikki Haley Tweets their own.

[Michael]

I say.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, so we got more clips of the year and that is a good thing to listen for something that you think might be the clip of the year and then you can text us. I'll be excited to see what you guys think. And women, when I say guys, I mean that colloquially as kind of a figure of speech that includes men and women and trans and children. So all that's on the way. 415295 KFTC Armstrong and Gettysburg.

[Joe Getty]

Ding dong ding Ding dong ding. The Armstrong and Getty Show.

[Jack Armstrong]

Katie, you have to stay tuned because we will get to one of our favorite end of the year segments, which is the list of things I have never done.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, good. Okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

That is kept track of by a listener.

[Michael]

The Fabulous Mary in the Hoe. Indeed. Who compiles our new band names, including Nervous Monkey, Cocaine Hippos. They play heavy riffs, but crazy fast. Syphilitic Sore. Almost nobody goes to their shows, apparently. We said Mutant Wolves.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hi. That's one of our worst band names ever.

[Michael]

That's terrible. Good Lord. Hey. We haven't even made it through January yet. Let's get down to work. It's time to take a vow. Stop saying that. It's still January. The clips of the year. CNN projects that Donald Trump will win the Iowa caucuses.

[Katie]

I want to congratulate Ron and Nikki for having a good time together. We're all having a good time together.

[Joe Getty]

You don't fix Democrat chaos with Republican chaos.

[Michael]

Now, going forward, he will have my full endorsement.

[Listener]

My family lives in New York. They say this whole city's being overrun. It's awful.

[Michael]

I honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we.

[Jack Armstrong]

We need a secure border.

[Listener]

Don't mess with the mineral unless you want to get the benefit.

[Joe Getty]

House Republicans get in the way. They wanted to literally eliminate 2,000 Border Patrol agents. That claim is not true. There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things.

[Michael]

We need a president who will unite our country.

[Katie]

You know Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley.

[Joe Getty]

The worst kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump.

[Michael]

Trump's a loser.

[Joe Getty]

He's a loser.

[Katie]

I find in life you can't let people get away with bull.

[Michael]

Are you filming it?

[Joe Getty]

I want you guys to get this.

[Listener]

I want them to destroy every element.

[Joe Getty]

Of Hamas they can get their hands on. You don't care about the babies that are being killed every day.

[Michael]

I think it's terrible and I think Hamas is 100% to blame. United Airlines says it has found loose bolts in the door plug that needed additional tight. There was, I guess a boy and his mother were sitting in that row and his shirt was sucked off him.

[Listener]

And out of the plane.

[Joe Getty]

Don't give up on us, baby. When I grow up, I want to work for a woke company like Super Woke.

[Jack Armstrong]

To my surprise, I never got sick.

[Michael]

Of eating hot dogs once, despite my.

[Jack Armstrong]

Bowel movements resembling Willy Wonka's.

[Michael]

Sometimes I get Sent out with a shopping list. And my wife's like, do you want.

[Joe Getty]

Me to explain that to you?

[Michael]

And I'm like, I think I can handle it. And then I got to the grocery store. I'm like, what is a shallot? I definitely think the rambling Biden.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Good.

[Michael]

From that list was. Was worthy of perhaps inclusion in the Clips of the year finalists.

[Jack Armstrong]

I forgot to be listening for a clip of the year. I have one job and I can't do it.

[Michael]

Wow. Wow. However many shows we've done this year, he had one less than that worth of concentration.

[Jack Armstrong]

I. No kidding. I was reminded with that one that I'm excited about Marco Rubio being our Secretary of State and being on all those talk shows, being interviewed about all these topics all the time.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah, that. That was absolutely terrific. There are so many clips of significance there. Yeah, it's. It's just, it's. It's fun to look back and be transported to that place where Nikki had a chance and Ron was coming up on the inside, but she never had a chance.

[Joe Getty]

Trump was.

[Michael]

Still appears to have. Oh, now you're Mr. I know everything because it's. In hindsight.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, no. Everybody was saying and knew it was obvious Trump was not going to lose. And the. The pretending there was a chance he wouldn't. I never understood even at the time.

[Michael]

Yeah, well, it's clearly. Clearly right. Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

That was a manufacturer. They do it every year, though. They manufacture. Every four years you manufacture a race. Because, God dang it. If you're a cable news network, you are hoping for a race place.

[Michael]

As we've said many times, it's like a football game that's out of hand. I don't know. With Miami's explosive offense, Jim, they could. They could score those 35 points. They're behind in the blink of an eye. Please don't turn out. Please don't do it out. I nominate that Biden clip, the one where he says, don't mess with America.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that is good.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Don't mess with the minimum, Eric, unless you want to get the benefit.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's definitely.

[Michael]

Hello. You know, we are gonna do another one. Why don't we just plunge right into it? Into February. We don't have time. Michael informs us we don't have time. We are already behind schedule.

[Jack Armstrong]

We've ruined the last show of the year, which means we've ruined the year. We've ruined the entire year.

[Michael]

Please. You're on a date with somebody special, right? You hit it off the Meal's fantastic. You share dessert, your eyes meet. Oh, my gosh. And then you puke all over. I mean, it's.

[Jack Armstrong]

Please.

[Michael]

That was not a good date.

[Jack Armstrong]

So do you understand, and I really don't want to get into this much, but the government's going to shut down at midnight tonight, Very likely, and I don't care. But do you understand why the Trump endorsed bill didn't pass yesterday?

[Michael]

Yeah, that's a complicated answer.

[Jack Armstrong]

Trump and Elon said no to the one on Wednesday, so that one got shot down. But they said yes to the one yesterday, and still 40 Republicans were against it and all the Democrats.

[Michael]

Yeah, it was missing a lot of stuff that a lot, a lot of Republicans consider to be important. I don't have the list in front of me. Too hasty, Too much, too soon.

[Jack Armstrong]

I don't know, it sounded to me like the thing I was yelling for yesterday. Just get the basic stuff. Do you need to stay open? And then. I don't know.

[Michael]

Well, yeah, that's just. What's on that list differs from person to person.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, why do they act like you only have one shot at this? You can pass a bill anytime you want.

[Michael]

Oh, they're. I don't think they are. They're. They're back at work this morning. Johnson Co. Trying to craft something that'll pass. I think there may be just a little bit of institutional pride going on, too. The president doesn't tell Congress what to do, and Elon Musk certainly doesn't either. I'm not defending that point. I'm just saying that could be mixed in.

[Jack Armstrong]

Did you pick up on the talking point of the day, which you're going to hear so much of? It's going to make you want to puke in the coming days and weeks?

[Michael]

I've already puked.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, President Musk, that is the nonstop MSNBC talking point from all Democrats.

[Michael]

Hashtag Republican shutdown. Well, Mr. President Musk.

[Jack Armstrong]

President Musk said no to the bill or this or that. All right, so look forward to hearing that until you throw up your gravy.

[Michael]

I'm just going to look forward to vacation where I can jam Amish milk farmers into my earbuds. Another one of our new band names.

[Jack Armstrong]

Fantastic. More clips of the year coming up. Stay with us.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty, The Armstrong and Getty Show.

[Jack Armstrong]

There are already 300 flights canceled across the country on one of the bigger travel days that we're gonna have this year because of crazy weather in various parts of the nation. So.

[Michael]

Oh, my.

[Jack Armstrong]

Bring a book to the airport or something.

[Michael]

Well, and in case life ever has the feel of, I don't know, biblical plague, Condemnation of the Almighty being visited upon us. Enjoy this sentence. Ground squirrels usually eat seeds and nuts. But in a park in California, these cute furry creatures have turned into carnivorous killers, mercilessly hunting down voles to peel the flesh from their bones.

[Jack Armstrong]

Ew.

[Michael]

So Herta four herbivores are now ripping the flesh from the bones of their neighbors.

[Jack Armstrong]

Freshly skinned vole.

[Michael]

Ooh, golly. Well, we need to squeeze in a whole lot of clips of the year. We're into February, it's clips of the year, clips of the year. Taylor Swift, Super Bowl.

[Joe Getty]

Now we're all about them big dumb cubs. We are not looking for a war with Iran.

[Jack Armstrong]

And we will respond when we choose.

[Michael]

At the time and place of our choosing. The Republican led House Homeland Security Committee releasing articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. There is no greater impeachment offense than for an officer of the United States to violate their oath. The resolution is not adopted.

[Jack Armstrong]

This is an abject failure of leadership. I've got a busy day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and so on.

[Michael]

China. China. China. China. China.

[Joe Getty]

China.

[Michael]

China.

[Joe Getty]

The President has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has. But we noticed middle class migrants from China arriving with rolling bags.

[Jack Armstrong]

The border patrol has apprehended more than 160 migrants with known gang affiliations.

[Michael]

The four that are arrested should be sitting in Reich is right now. There's no consequences and we must change this. End of story.

[Listener]

Later on. From Germany. I mean from France.

[Katie]

No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.

[Michael]

Helping a free people defend their freedom is simply the right thing to do.

[Jack Armstrong]

One of the most charismatic and prominent.

[Joe Getty]

Opposition figures Russia has indeed known has lost his life.

[Michael]

That every leader kills people, including my leader.

[Jack Armstrong]

Every leader kills people.

[Michael]

Some kill more than others.

[Jack Armstrong]

Leadership requires killing people.

[Michael]

Sorry, I. I don't have time to hear more than two hours of about this interview with a killer. Mr. Zuckerberg, you have blood on your hands.

[Jack Armstrong]

I take this very seriously.

[Michael]

Let me ask you this. There's families of victims here today. Have you apologized to the victims? Would you like to do so now?

[Joe Getty]

When you say open up the way. But I don't know what he's talking about.

[Listener]

Is he talking about confessing?

[Michael]

I will engage in a romantic act with my dog before he slumbers in My bed. It's an illustration.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, what was O.J. talking about there? What happened?

[Michael]

There's a podcast and somebody asked him, do you ever feel the need to open up emotionally?

[Jack Armstrong]

You're talking about a confession.

[Michael]

Woman's head off. I'm not going to confess. So clearly. Mayorkas, please.

[Jack Armstrong]

Obviously. Nominee for clip of the year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And by the way, Democrats in. In that little montage was why you lost the election. One of many reasons. One of the main reasons. All those Chinese people coming across the border.

[Michael]

I was going to say it's not going to meet the. Or I'm sorry, it's not going to reach the finals. But in terms of significance, all of those Chinese nationals at our southern border, doesn't that strike you as odd? Great significance. Lasting significance. God help us. We may, you know, we may realize the actual significance of all those Chinese nationals coming into this country in terrible ways in the future. Who knows? Anyway, did I mention herbivore squirrels are ripping the flesh off of their neighboring animals?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. Is there greatest significance of this? Or is just.

[Joe Getty]

Yes.

[Michael]

Yes. Hello. The book of Exodus.

[Jack Armstrong]

Okay, I'll do that during this next montage here.

[Michael]

All right. And then God visited the plague of the coven.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Michael]

With the help of Anthony Fauci, it'll say in parentheses. And then the plague of the. The killer squirrels. Not a bad band name. Last show of the year. Anyway, why don't we plunge on and finish up the. The month of February. It's cow koi Eclipse of the year.

[Jack Armstrong]

Dead down this road lies madness.

[Michael]

My assessment in the report about the relevance of the president's memory was necessary and accurate and fair. Most importantly, what I wrote is what I believe the evidence shows and what I expect jurors would perceive and believe. I did not sanitize my explanation, nor did I disparage the president unfairly.

[Listener]

I will. Meaning I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I guess I should wear my mind here a little bit.

[Katie]

He was always sort of semi declined. If you go back 25 years, Donald.

[Joe Getty]

Trump may have authored the art of the deal, but he perfected the art of the steel. But how much is the bond? But you're looking at roughly, let's call it close to $400 million. I like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates. You and I go shopping. We're going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes.

[Michael]

I was like, why am I spending $380? Everyone can walk the hell right out. Not fair. The Berkeley Apple Store Robbed seven times this year. It's mid February. Some of you gonna go home tonight and feel like you've been robbed.

[Jack Armstrong]

Some of you made it. Rob teenagers, young people that are going out and committing a home invasion.

[Michael]

I want you to just say that's just human nature.

[Joe Getty]

You think we give a damn about some equipment? Not at all. Not at all.

[Michael]

She utilized both male and female names.

[Jack Armstrong]

Houston Police Department reports she has been.

[Michael]

Identified this entire time as female.

[Joe Getty]

There are, you know, people of every Asian and gender.

[Michael]

By the way, this is pretty wild. This elementary school is up in the Bay Area.

[Jack Armstrong]

They spent a quarter million dollars in.

[Michael]

Federal money for what's being called a WOKE program. The US Federal government's on an unsustainable fiscal pattern. Some restaurants charging up to $18 for.

[Jack Armstrong]

A big Mac combo meal.

[Joe Getty]

You're confused. You think I'm on trial. I'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. If they lie.

[Michael]

Part of your cash horde that you had collected over time.

[Joe Getty]

Cash? What horde?

[Michael]

H O R D E. I thought.

[Joe Getty]

You said something different, Sir.

[Jack Armstrong]

A Boeing 757 making an emergency landing. Video showing damage to the wing.

[Michael]

Going to suspend beverage service until we can be sure the wing isn't going to fall off completely. J, J, J, right side draw. Touchdown K Z City.

[Joe Getty]

It feels great.

[Michael]

I'm telling you.

[Joe Getty]

I blacked out when I caught the ball.

[Michael]

Though.

[Jack Armstrong]

That montage also including the seeds of Trump's win. The rampant crime. Crime is actually down according to FBI statistics. Statistics. The. That whole thing.

[Michael]

Yeah. The Berkeley Apple store story was telling. Again, not a great clip exactly, but yeah, that was of huge importance. And there was also a hell of a lot of Lawfare.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Michael]

In that series as well. Which is one of the reasons Trump won. People perceived that as being despicable.

[Jack Armstrong]

We can't rediscuss every clip, but some of them. Do you remember, Katie, because we covered this a fair amount. The Bay Area school that spent all that money on the war thing. I remember being really outraged about that, but I don't remember what it was exactly. Do you remember, Joe?

[Michael]

I'm scanning.

[Jack Armstrong]

It was such a good story, and it's just. Ah, dang it.

[Joe Getty]

Hayward elementary School. WOKE Kindergarten program.

[Michael]

Yes. Some of that madness, whatever the falling.

[Jack Armstrong]

All I remember happened to be I was outraged. This is not a surprise.

[Michael]

Among our other band names, Haitian Cannibals. That was actually Listener, Dr. Brian's band. A rare listener band. London Breed, my 80s band that had two hits on MTV and did a brief tour With Dexie's Midnight Runners and the Alarm London Breed. Actually, the. Oh, right, the former mayor San Francisco Trachea Bronchus and Long Jack. Saw them when they opened for. Yes, their songs are really long. Boy. Well, we should probably break some high on time because we need to squeeze in March. Next segment that's on the way.

[Jack Armstrong]

And a whole bunch of other stuff to discuss. Stay here.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty show.

[Michael]

Clips of the year show. Last show of the year.

[Jack Armstrong]

Last live show of the year. Anyway, so Katie dug it up. Now I remember. I remember the Bay Area kindergarten that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new woke program had the lowest reading and math scores in the state going in. And they took the money and spent it on being more woke.

[Michael]

Those teachers are not there to teach the children to read and write. They are there to turn them into little revolutionaries.

[Jack Armstrong]

And when you aren't joking and when you're already failing, you have to say they don't care if your kid fails at life. Yes, Katie, right? Yeah.

[Joe Getty]

This line. Less than 12% of the students can read at their grade level and under 4% are proficient in math.

[Jack Armstrong]

And you spend your money on woke stuff. You are evil. I don't know how you sleep at night. I honest to God don't know how you go to bed at night and sleep with a clear conscience. You're evil.

[Michael]

It's Marxism. It is Maoist Marxism in the US Fight it to your dying breath. I know I will. But we must forge ahead in our Looking back back. It's March. The clips of the year.

[Listener]

I'd be a winner. Not really.

[Michael]

I.

[Listener]

Lincoln. Lincoln Riley. An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That's right. But how many of thousands of people being killed by legals? I shouldn't have used the legal. I should. It's undocumented. Look, they built the country.

[Michael]

Smokin.

[Jack Armstrong]

Joe Biden was on fire.

[Michael]

He was lit. I was so excited by how Biden presented himself and what he said. This version of Biden is the best bias Biden ever.

[Listener]

My God, what freedom else would you take away?

[Jack Armstrong]

The Republican response was delivered by Alabama Senator Katie Britt.

[Joe Getty]

Right now, the American dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families. We smell you. We're inside your kitchen right now looking through your fridge. And what's that on the top shelf? Migrants. I think that analogy went well. The fifth Circuit granted the state of Texas a stay and ordered that this law, this controversial law go into effect.

[Michael]

We're not imposing a Texas Border policy. Texas very simply is enforcing the laws that are the policy of the United States Congress that there were a number several hundred migrants that essentially overwhelmed a number of Texas National Guard soldiers.

[Katie]

Joe Biden was more than a participant in and a beneficiary of his family's business. He was an active, aware enabler.

[Michael]

Joe Biden failed to properly secure classified information. And Joe Biden shared classified information with.

[Joe Getty]

People he wasn't supposed to.

[Jack Armstrong]

The President. I did not share classified information.

[Michael]

I did not share it.

[Jack Armstrong]

I guarantee I did not.

[Michael]

That's not true, is it? Mr. Her that is inconsistent with the findings based on the evidence in my report.

[Katie]

Yeah.

[Michael]

So it's a lie. It's just what regular people would say, right? Yeah. All right.

[Joe Getty]

Republicans have used the special counsel's report to further their long standing efforts to re elect the former white supremacist in chief, Donald Trump.

[Jack Armstrong]

Enough is enough, man. I'm out. I'm done. I'm over it. And for those reasons and a whole buttload more that I won't bore you with, I've officially switched teams. I, Jack Armstrong, am now a card carrying member of the Communist Party. That was AI.

[Michael]

AI. Jack. Shocking. Disturbing. I wish we had time to discuss, but we don't. We need to jump right back into the second half of March. It's clips of the year.

[Joe Getty]

Tonight, Donald Trump ramps up his rhetoric on the campaign trail.

[Katie]

If I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath.

[Joe Getty]

Bloodbath. Bloodbath. Not only is it going to be a bloodbath, it's a bloodbath. An impending bloodbath. At some point, maybe we should say the reason that America keeps losing is because of Donald Trump.

[Katie]

She was going around every show. Donald Trump, Donald Trump this and that. That wasn't working too well. California, the same thing. Gavin Newscomb. Does anyone ever Gavin Newscom scum. Is his list all these local cases like Fonny Fawny. It's spelled Fanny. It's spelled Fanny like your ass. Right? Fanny. Look at Illinois. I don't know how it continues. You have this guy, Pritzker. I don't know. He's too busy eating. He wants to eat all the time. Would you like a hamburger? How many do you want? 5. Who the hell orders 5 burgers?

[Jack Armstrong]

Some 200 gangs are operating in Haiti and a major source of funding for them are those kidnappings.

[Michael]

The man behind it all, gang leader Jimmy Cherisier, known as Barbecue.

[Joe Getty]

And given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate.

[Listener]

Ceasefire it's hurting Israel more than helping Israel by making the rest of the world. It's contrary to what Israel stands for.

[Michael]

But you and I are going to have a come to Jesus meeting.

[Katie]

What do you mean by that?

[Listener]

What I meant was it's an expression used in the southern part of my state meeting. A serious meeting.

[Michael]

I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision making process about the future of Israel.

[Joe Getty]

Police say the burglary tourists are part of international crime rings traveling from countries in South America, the majority from Chile.

[Jack Armstrong]

Last year, burglars were caught staking out homes in Orange county while wearing a camouflage suit similar to ghillie suits worn by military snipers.

[Joe Getty]

We're California criminals. We're not po. We're just stealing because we can.

[Michael]

We're California criminals.

[Jack Armstrong]

Jail.

[Joe Getty]

Never heard of her.

[Katie]

England's National Health Service is banning the use of puberty blockers for children.

[Listener]

How many genders are there?

[Joe Getty]

It's a spectrum. So like a lot.

[Listener]

Zem, zirs, zemself.

[Joe Getty]

Chris, what are pronouns?

[Katie]

Those are pronouns.

[Listener]

Neo pronouns.

[Joe Getty]

All people of color. We have no white people on our team. I did that because I wanted to create a safe environment. These are the days. These are the days. These are the days of girlhood.

[Katie]

Okay, I feel like there was another.

[Jack Armstrong]

Click of the year in there, at least for me.

[Katie]

The.

[Jack Armstrong]

How many genders are there? I don't know.

[Michael]

Like a lot.

[Joe Getty]

Oh, I forgot about that.

[Michael]

A lot. That in Scarborough borrow. Clearly worthy of at least consideration. The bloodbath stuff probably won't quite get there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Also, I'm reminded that Joe Biden getting the right dosage of whatever drug that had him fired up for the State of the Union is the worst thing that could have happened to the Democrats. They would have been so much better off if he had flamed out way back in January and they could have gotten their act together than thinking they could have could pull that off.

[Michael]

And he wasn't good, but he was angry and manic, which was good enough.

[Jack Armstrong]

How many hamburgers do you like? 5. Who the hell eats five hamburgers?

[Michael]

More clips of the year on the way.

[Joe Getty]

Armstrong and Gettysburg.
