## Transcript

[0:08] Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the
[0:11] Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
[0:16] Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
[0:17] Speaker 1: And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.
[0:24] Speaker 2: I don't think my hat matches my jacket. That's not good. Live,
[0:34] Speaker 2: live from Studio C.
[0:36] Speaker 1: C-C-R.
[0:37] Speaker 2: A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the
[0:40] Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, today, two weeks
[0:43] Speaker 2: from the midterm elections. I'll be glad when they're over
[0:45] Speaker 2: so I don't have to hear about them anymore. We're
[0:47] Speaker 2: under the tutelage of the title of this show.
[0:51] Speaker 3: A great sports rivalry returns. Milwaukee versus Tampa Bay. Or
[0:56] Speaker 3: if you prefer our second headline... Title, are you looking
[1:00] Speaker 3: for something both ugly and stupid?
[1:03] Speaker 2: Try politics. Yeah, the Tampa Bay Rays' best record in
[1:09] Speaker 2: the American League. Take on the Milwaukee Brewers, the best
[1:12] Speaker 2: record in the National League. 162 games. They won the
[1:16] Speaker 2: most in their respective leagues, and they're going to play
[1:19] Speaker 2: each other in the World Series. Probably record low ratings,
[1:22] Speaker 2: which is too bad, because it's pretty good baseball.
[1:26] Speaker 1: I would say great fun teams to watch.
[1:28] Speaker 2: If you want to talk about sports, the bee that's
[1:30] Speaker 2: in my bonnet, I can't believe I never got to
[1:32] Speaker 2: this yesterday because I was angry about it all weekend.
[1:35] Speaker 2: Now it's happened twice.
[1:35] Speaker 1: Your unmatching bonnet, by the way.
[1:37] Speaker 2: My bonnet does not match in my blouse. I've never
[1:40] Speaker 2: said the word blouse before, I don't think. I'm wearing
[1:44] Speaker 2: a sport coat and a hat that does not match it.
[1:48] Speaker 2: Game two of the WNBA finals last night, and for
[1:51] Speaker 2: the second game in a row, both teams walked off
[1:53] Speaker 2: the court for the national anthem. Both teams walking completely
[1:58] Speaker 2: off the court into the locker room for the National Anthem.
[2:00] Speaker 2: They may come back when it's over. Two games in
[2:02] Speaker 2: a row. The finals of the WNBA. The DEI League.
[2:06] Speaker 2: The league that thinks we owe them having that league.
[2:12] Speaker 2: Regardless of what they do or how low the ratings
[2:14] Speaker 2: are or how much money they lose.
[2:17] Speaker 1: Or how racist they are or anything else.
[2:20] Speaker 2: It's 100% subsidized by the, not 100%, but it's 100% true.
[2:25] Speaker 2: The only reason it exists is the subsidy of the NBA.
[2:31] Speaker 2: If the NBA didn't subsidize it, it would go away today.
[2:35] Speaker 2: Yet they think they're entitled enough. that they can walk
[2:38] Speaker 2: off the court for the national anthem and the fans
[2:40] Speaker 2: will just have to put up with it. And we'll
[2:42] Speaker 2: still get to play basketball for lots of money.
[2:44] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[2:45] Speaker 3: They're a bunch of woke America haters. They absolutely are, including,
[2:49] Speaker 3: in many cases, the ownership. I have this on good authority.
[2:52] Speaker 3: I cannot divulge more. But, yeah, it is a DEI
[2:56] Speaker 3: league full of, you know, neo-Marxist, critical theory-loving activists.
[3:01] Speaker 2: But to take it to the level of you think
[3:04] Speaker 2: you can do anything and you still get to exist.
[3:08] Speaker 2: I think the NBA is in a tough situation now.
[3:11] Speaker 2: They're probably grandfathered in. by wokeness to where they can't
[3:15] Speaker 2: ever pull the plug on the damn thing, no matter
[3:17] Speaker 2: how much money it loses because of the blowback. They
[3:22] Speaker 2: probably figure out what it costs us in blowback. We'll
[3:25] Speaker 2: just eat that money.
[3:26] Speaker 1: I think you're right.
[3:27] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[3:28] Speaker 3: It's a great illustration, though, of when the normal incentives
[3:31] Speaker 3: of the marketplace are removed and you go with DEI,
[3:34] Speaker 3: what happens?
[3:35] Speaker 1: Because the players... can't be.
[3:38] Speaker 3: Compelled to, hey, you're going to run off our fan base.
[3:41] Speaker 3: You can't crap on the American flag, in effect, or
[3:45] Speaker 3: send the unmistakable message, I'm not a patriot. In fact,
[3:48] Speaker 3: I think this country's evil, and it stinks. And I'd
[3:51] Speaker 3: love to see it overthrown. You can't send that message.
[3:53] Speaker 1: Over and over. We're running a business here.
[3:56] Speaker 3: But they're not. They're running a DEI department. So the
[4:00] Speaker 3: most woke rules.
[4:02] Speaker 2: Not just one player getting lots of attention for kneeling
[4:06] Speaker 2: during the national anthem. The entire team, both teams, in
[4:11] Speaker 2: the finals of their sport.
[4:13] Speaker 5: Right.
[4:14] Speaker 3: I remember that from various NBA, especially, I guess, back
[4:19] Speaker 3: in the day when we were closer to the woke apocalypse,
[4:22] Speaker 3: that that was the compromise. Look, are we going to
[4:24] Speaker 3: have half of our guys kneel and half of our
[4:27] Speaker 3: guys standing proudly gazing at the flag with their hand
[4:29] Speaker 3: over their heart, or do we just go to.
[4:31] Speaker 1: The locker room? And they said, we'll just go to
[4:33] Speaker 1: the locker room.
[4:34] Speaker 3: I mean, the inaction speaks louder than words. The reason
[4:38] Speaker 3: they're going to the locker room, I guess, is to
[4:40] Speaker 3: get around the rules. The league has rules.
[4:42] Speaker 2: You're required to stand in an appropriate manner quietly for
[4:48] Speaker 2: the national anthem. That's in the rule book of the WNBA,
[4:52] Speaker 2: all players. So I guess they feel like they're getting
[4:55] Speaker 2: around it by, we're not on the court, so we
[4:57] Speaker 2: don't have to. I don't know why anybody would support
[5:00] Speaker 2: that league.
[5:03] Speaker 6: No.
[5:04] Speaker 1: Screw them.
[5:05] Speaker 2: Absolutely.
[5:05] Speaker 1: Luckily, few people do.
[5:07] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[5:07] Speaker 2: Well, it's more popular than it's ever been, partially because
[5:10] Speaker 2: of Caitlin Clark, who they abuse and in all kinds
[5:15] Speaker 2: of different ways. But yeah, it's nutty. You're right. When
[5:18] Speaker 2: you take away the normal incentives... Imagine how lots of
[5:22] Speaker 2: businesses would act if they didn't. NPR might be a
[5:24] Speaker 2: good example. Imagine how lots of businesses would act if
[5:27] Speaker 2: they don't actually have to worry about making a profit.
[5:30] Speaker 1: Let's ask Colin Kaepernick.
[5:31] Speaker 3: Hey, Colin, given the choice between a player with a
[5:34] Speaker 3: skill set of, say, X who angers three-quarters of the
[5:39] Speaker 3: fan base and a player with skill set X who
[5:42] Speaker 3: doesn't anger the fan base, who do you reckon you're
[5:44] Speaker 3: going to hire?
[5:45] Speaker 1: I'll bet Colin could tell us.
[5:49] Speaker 2: And we got this text, and we bailed Brittany Griner
[5:51] Speaker 2: out of Russia.
[5:52] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. No kidding. In line before real American patriots
[5:56] Speaker 1: and innocents.
[5:59] Speaker 2: I don't know what it's like for y'all. I don't
[6:04] Speaker 2: know if it's age or it's this job, but I
[6:07] Speaker 2: just can't take in this midterm election stuff. The same
[6:13] Speaker 2: speeches I've heard my entire life.
[6:16] Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by it. It's so interesting. Every single two years,
[6:21] Speaker 3: you get the same flippin' speeches. I like some of
[6:26] Speaker 3: the dynamics of what people said in the past about
[6:29] Speaker 3: each other who are now campaigning together, like old Islamist
[6:34] Speaker 3: Al-Sayed and Obama. He was a harsh, bitter Obama critic
[6:38] Speaker 3: for a long time, including recently. But they'll be on
[6:41] Speaker 3: stage together tonight, I think. I don't think long line
[6:44] Speaker 3: of that.
[6:44] Speaker 1: Sort of thing.
[6:45] Speaker 2: So are we back to our conversation of last week?
[6:47] Speaker 2: Because I don't think any of this stuff has an
[6:49] Speaker 2: effect on like anybody I know, really, in the way
[6:53] Speaker 2: they're going to vote. So is all of this noise
[6:56] Speaker 2: just for that crowd that barely pays attention, hoping it
[7:01] Speaker 2: will seep through to them somehow and sway that and
[7:04] Speaker 2: turn out and turn out?
[7:06] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because the vast majority of voters, or at
[7:09] Speaker 3: least a pretty good plurality of them, have no idea
[7:13] Speaker 3: what they're talking about and are as likely to vote
[7:17] Speaker 3: as they are to eat pork tonight.
[7:20] Speaker 1: It might happen.
[7:22] Speaker 3: And so you desperately try to get them motivated to
[7:24] Speaker 3: show up.
[7:25] Speaker 1: So that's what a lot of it is, these rallies. Wow.
[7:29] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[7:30] Speaker 2: I also have no idea where this whole supporting Russia
[7:35] Speaker 2: or not story is going or landing with most Republicans.
[7:40] Speaker 2: It's not what I want to be true, but I'm
[7:43] Speaker 2: not sure most Republican voters care about the whole Ukraine
[7:47] Speaker 2: thing very much.
[7:50] Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to see those numbers. I would, too.
[7:54] Speaker 3: It's not at the top of the list, I would say,
[7:57] Speaker 3: of things people are critically interested in.
[7:58] Speaker 2: I don't think it ranks in the top five, maybe
[8:01] Speaker 2: not in the top ten. I don't know. I'd like
[8:04] Speaker 2: to see some polling also. I just don't think it matters,
[8:07] Speaker 2: and Trump probably senses that. Now, why you have to
[8:12] Speaker 2: get on board with Russia, I do not know. Zelensky's
[8:15] Speaker 2: going further and further in the things that he says.
[8:19] Speaker 2: And Trump is reacting the way Trump reacts when he
[8:22] Speaker 2: feels like he's been slighted. And so that divide is
[8:25] Speaker 2: growing on a day-by-day basis. We'll have to play the
[8:27] Speaker 2: latest clips later in the show. But I don't know.
[8:34] Speaker 2: The idea that Zelensky wants this war to continue, wants
[8:38] Speaker 2: these deaths, etc., etc.
[8:41] Speaker 1: is just absurd.
[8:43] Speaker 2: It is absurd.
[8:44] Speaker 3: Well, he wants the war to continue if the alternative
[8:46] Speaker 3: is capitulation to Russia and the inevitable slaughter that would result.
[8:51] Speaker 2: We did get one text yesterday. It was, I guess
[8:53] Speaker 2: you guys want hundreds of more thousands of people to die.
[8:58] Speaker 2: It's an interesting way to look at it in that.
[9:01] Speaker 2: So if we hadn't invaded Europe in World War II
[9:06] Speaker 2: in June of 44, fewer people would have died if
[9:10] Speaker 2: you let Germany have Europe. I mean, isn't that analogy perfect?
[9:15] Speaker 2: You're saying let the aggressor have the land so there
[9:19] Speaker 2: are no more deaths. Isn't that what you're saying?
[9:22] Speaker 1: Don't defend your country. Don't defend your family. No, let
[9:24] Speaker 1: them have it.
[9:25] Speaker 3: Whoever gets meanest first gets everything in their worldview. Or,
[9:31] Speaker 3: you know, it's an argument of ignorance. I don't even
[9:33] Speaker 3: feel like casting my pearls before that swine. It's a
[9:37] Speaker 3: ridiculous argument. It ignores all of history. It ignores Russia.
[9:40] Speaker 3: It ignores Russian policy. It ignores their recent activity. Not
[9:44] Speaker 3: to mention, it rewards violent adventurism just after we'd finally gotten.
[9:51] Speaker 1: Rid of that for a little bit. How many lives is.
[9:54] Speaker 3: Oh, my why am I arguing with somebody with a
[9:57] Speaker 3: position that simple?
[9:58] Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, that's not just a texture. That
[10:01] Speaker 2: is Trump's position. That is the position of, you know,
[10:06] Speaker 2: basically the position of the Republican Party right now. The
[10:09] Speaker 2: leader of the Republican Party.
[10:11] Speaker 1: I agree with that.
[10:14] Speaker 2: I just want the killing to stop.
[10:16] Speaker 3: You're going to see much, much more public splits very,
[10:19] Speaker 3: very soon, maybe the day after the midterm with Trump
[10:24] Speaker 3: on Ukraine policy in particular and other things, too. The
[10:29] Speaker 3: last two years of his second term, if he survives
[10:32] Speaker 3: that long, he's old as the hills, is going to
[10:34] Speaker 3: be tumultuous.
[10:39] Speaker 2: Okay, so here's where we are with the opening clip
[10:41] Speaker 2: to start the show officially, which we need to do.
[10:42] Speaker 2: It's a Greg Gutfeld joke. which we're trying to predict
[10:47] Speaker 2: just how far he's going to go given the target
[10:50] Speaker 2: of this joke.
[10:51] Speaker 3: Would you like me to repeat what I said in
[10:53] Speaker 3: the pre-show meeting? So the joke involves Greta Thunberg, and
[10:56] Speaker 3: Joe said... I said, what's the punchline? That she's ugly, fat,
[11:02] Speaker 3: and nobody can ever love her? Or a combination of
[11:05] Speaker 3: those things. And Michael said essentially....
[11:11] Speaker 2: Greg Kudfeld is willing to say some really mean things,
[11:13] Speaker 2: so let's do that. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.
[11:16] Speaker 2: On this, it is Tuesday, October 20th of the year 2026.
[11:19] Speaker 2: We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.
[11:22] Speaker 3: Let's begin the show officially, then, according to FCC rules
[11:25] Speaker 3: and regulations. Here we go at Mark.
[11:27] Speaker 4: Greta Thunberg has found a new cause supporting the riots
[11:31] Speaker 4: in France, although she still hasn't succeeded in her most
[11:34] Speaker 4: urgent crusade, which is to find someone who will finally.
[11:39] Speaker 1: Wow.
[11:46] Speaker 2: Wow.
[11:50] Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
[11:50] Speaker 3: I realize I look like a dog who's heard an
[11:53] Speaker 3: odd noise and is trying to identify it.
[11:56] Speaker 1: What the hell?
[11:57] Speaker 2: That was close to what you guessed.
[11:59] Speaker 1: What the hell? That's exactly what I guessed.
[12:03] Speaker 2: What a mean thing to say to a young woman.
[12:04] Speaker 2: He just spilled it.
[12:05] Speaker 1: All down into describing her as essentially unlayable.
[12:09] Speaker 2: That's among the worst things you could say to a
[12:10] Speaker 2: young woman, isn't it, Katie? Doesn't that rank right up there?
[12:13] Speaker 2: It's top three. Nobody would ever have sex with you? Yeah.
[12:17] Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. Not only would they never love you,
[12:20] Speaker 1: they would never even use you. Yes. That's delightful.
[12:23] Speaker 3: A friend of mine did clue me in, though, because
[12:25] Speaker 3: I don't really watch Gutfeld.
[12:27] Speaker 1: I'm aware of him. I see him on The Five
[12:29] Speaker 1: occasionally before Special Report.
[12:30] Speaker 3: But part of his act is, all right, how sledgehammery
[12:36] Speaker 3: is this punchline going to be?
[12:38] Speaker 1: And if you're like, oh, my God, here it comes,
[12:40] Speaker 1: here it comes, here it comes, and he hits.
[12:42] Speaker 2: You with that, it's like, ah! That's pretty good.
[12:46] Speaker 1: Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
[12:50] Speaker 3: Greta is actually an absolutely perfect illustration of what I'm
[12:55] Speaker 3: always droning on about. And I happen to have just
[12:58] Speaker 3: seen a picture of her, which I believe to be legitimate.
[13:02] Speaker 3: She and her parents are all wearing, are they from Sweden?
[13:06] Speaker 1: Is that it? Sweden, yeah.
[13:09] Speaker 3: The Swedish Antifa t-shirt logo. And they're all Marxists, essentially.
[13:16] Speaker 3: And so why would the climate change girl then be
[13:20] Speaker 3: the Palestinian girl and now be the French rioting girl?
[13:24] Speaker 1: It's because she's a freaking Marxist. That's why.
[13:27] Speaker 3: Wherever there's a struggle against the status quo, she is
[13:31] Speaker 3: there to help overthrow it straight out of the Communist Manifesto.
[13:35] Speaker 2: That's what's going on here.
[13:36] Speaker 1: You're a commie.
[13:38] Speaker 2: Unlayable.
[13:39] Speaker 1: Wow. That punchline was wrong, Greta. I'm with you.
[13:45] Speaker 2: There's some young Marxist noodle boy who'd be interested.
[13:49] Speaker 1: Oh, sure.
[13:50] Speaker 3: With linguine arms and lack of hair on his upper
[13:54] Speaker 3: lip and looking forward to a nice vegan burger for lunch.
[13:58] Speaker 2: Probably watches so much porn he can't, though.
[14:00] Speaker 1: Right, right.
[14:01] Speaker 2: Probably got that going.
[14:03] Speaker 1: Can't lift 50 pounds over his head.
[14:05] Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah.
[14:06] Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah. All right.
[14:08] Speaker 2: We got Katie's headlines next. Armstrong and Getty. Maybe I'm
[14:16] Speaker 2: too precious for the world of politics. I probably am.
[14:19] Speaker 2: I got a couple examples of that coming up a
[14:21] Speaker 2: little bit later.
[14:22] Speaker 1: All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's League
[14:24] Speaker 1: Story with Katie Green. Katie, take it away.
[14:26] Speaker 5: All right, it's all Middle East with the Alphabet Network,
[14:28] Speaker 5: starting with Fox. Iranian army official warns U.S., Israel against
[14:32] Speaker 5: a miscalculation. CNN, the world will be amazed. Iran's commanders
[14:37] Speaker 5: prepare for further war. And then on ABC, Trump says U.S.
[14:42] Speaker 5: is winning war and can leave Iran right now.
[14:45] Speaker 2: Do you think there's any chance we're going to hit
[14:47] Speaker 2: Iran hard, that Trump thinks that that would be some
[14:49] Speaker 2: sort of October surprise that would help him?
[14:54] Speaker 3: Oh, boy, I'd have to think about whether it would
[14:56] Speaker 3: help him before I would predict whether it'll happen. He
[14:59] Speaker 3: would think it would help him.
[15:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that it would. From The Guardian,
[15:04] Speaker 2: Zelensky claims U.S.
[15:05] Speaker 5: Is deliberately delaying interceptor missile deliveries to Kiev.
[15:11] Speaker 1: Wow.
[15:12] Speaker 3: Trying to pressure Zelensky to give up the country. As
[15:16] Speaker 3: if he can declare that. They'd throw him out on
[15:19] Speaker 3: his ear. The people of Ukraine would. The government would.
[15:22] Speaker 1: They're not going to listen to him. Nobody in Ukraine
[15:24] Speaker 1: is going to give up.
[15:25] Speaker 2: If China, the United States, and Russia come up with
[15:27] Speaker 2: a deal, how do they make it stick with Zelensky?
[15:30] Speaker 2: How does that work?
[15:30] Speaker 3: By punishing the Ukrainians, good and hard, for failing to
[15:34] Speaker 3: accept their new reality.
[15:37] Speaker 5: From the Washington Post... France Prime Minister promises more curfews
[15:42] Speaker 5: as authorities seek to regain control.
[15:45] Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I read some good stuff about the
[15:47] Speaker 2: whole France situation yesterday. Douglas Murray, some great, it's the
[15:52] Speaker 2: end of France, maybe the end of Western civilization stuff.
[15:56] Speaker 1: Oh, that's too bad. Well, we had a good run.
[16:00] Speaker 1: USA Today.
[16:01] Speaker 2: Judge scrutinizes Trump's D.C.
[16:04] Speaker 5: Golf overhaul as he calls her a crazed lunatic.
[16:09] Speaker 2: I was looking at the headlines yesterday around Trump knocked
[16:12] Speaker 2: down some trees and widening the golf course or whatever
[16:15] Speaker 2: the heck. How does that stuff rise to the level
[16:19] Speaker 2: of a 15-minute panel on MSNBC with all the things
[16:23] Speaker 2: that are going on? Let's keep our eye on the ball, people.
[16:27] Speaker 1: It is just ridiculous.
[16:30] Speaker 5: New York Post. Indiana Democrat Jamie West reveals how many
[16:34] Speaker 5: beers she downed before train wreck interview.
[16:37] Speaker 2: Oh, I saw the headline. I didn't listen to any
[16:40] Speaker 2: of it. How was she when she was sober?
[16:42] Speaker 1: Oh, beer gal.
[16:43] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[16:44] Speaker 5: I don't know that she was sober when she made
[16:46] Speaker 5: this statement either.
[16:47] Speaker 2: I think she said she had two or three.
[16:49] Speaker 5: She said she had three Coors Lights, which, yeah, okay.
[16:52] Speaker 2: Which is more or less what Highway Patrolman will tell you.
[16:56] Speaker 2: Everybody says who's drunk. I had two or three.
[17:00] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. If she was 16 years old, I might
[17:01] Speaker 1: believe her, but no.
[17:03] Speaker 2: Yeah. And finally, the Babylon Bee. Cute.
[17:06] Speaker 5: Katie Zachariah to dress up as a lawyer for Halloween.
[17:10] Speaker 1: Oh, no. No.
[17:13] Speaker 2: We got to talk about that. We failed to talk
[17:14] Speaker 2: about that yesterday because she resigned right after we got
[17:17] Speaker 2: off the air on Friday. We missed it. Missed that
[17:20] Speaker 2: great soap opera.
[17:20] Speaker 1: She did not have a good one.
[17:22] Speaker 2: No, she did not.
[17:24] Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
[17:26] Speaker 6: A devastating diagnosis for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is
[17:31] Speaker 6: rattling the sports world, with backlash growing against the Eagles
[17:34] Speaker 6: and their medical staff. Earlier this month, team doctors discovered
[17:38] Speaker 6: a superficial blood clot in the quarterback's calf. He traveled
[17:41] Speaker 6: to London and played the Jaguars on no sleep. They
[17:44] Speaker 6: diagnosed Hurts with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli,
[17:49] Speaker 6: with a blood clot in his leg traveling to his lungs.
[17:52] Speaker 6: Sports analysts are now questioning why he was cleared to
[17:55] Speaker 6: play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first place.
[17:57] Speaker 2: So I have a medical question on a sports question.
[18:00] Speaker 2: So is a big sports deal in the NFL because
[18:02] Speaker 2: he's one of the best players. He was the Super
[18:04] Speaker 2: Bowl MVP year before last.
[18:06] Speaker 1: Yeah, the Eagles are a little sucky this year, but
[18:08] Speaker 1: it's a big story. Sure.
[18:09] Speaker 2: And and then I don't know about the whole the
[18:12] Speaker 2: Eagles made him fly. He's a grown up. He could say, no,
[18:15] Speaker 2: I would assume I would assume he has, you know,
[18:17] Speaker 2: makes his some of his own medical decisions in his
[18:19] Speaker 2: life anyway. So he got kicked in the calf. Can
[18:23] Speaker 2: you get struck, like, kicked in the calf, and it
[18:25] Speaker 2: turns into a blood clot? That works that way? Apparently.
[18:28] Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
[18:29] Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes sense, I guess, but I'd never heard
[18:31] Speaker 3: of it before. He's lucky to be alive. He's got
[18:36] Speaker 3: pulmonary emboli in both lungs. Good Lord, they call that
[18:39] Speaker 3: the widowmaker. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's when a
[18:43] Speaker 3: blood clot breaks free, and it jams into the artery
[18:47] Speaker 3: that either takes blood to your lung or the one
[18:50] Speaker 3: that takes it away.
[18:51] Speaker 1: Anyway, it's very bad.
[18:52] Speaker 2: I know no medical terms.
[18:54] Speaker 3: Yeah, they thought I had a deep vein thrombosis. I
[18:58] Speaker 3: played the thrombone recently to no acclaim in high school. Yeah, but, yeah,
[19:06] Speaker 3: it's very, very dangerous. That was the day that my cardiologist— said, hey,
[19:11] Speaker 3: call your wife.
[19:12] Speaker 1: We've got to take you to the hospital right now.
[19:14] Speaker 5: Really?
[19:15] Speaker 2: And I'm like, wait, what? So they had like a
[19:17] Speaker 2: scan or something? Turned out fine. And when they looked
[19:20] Speaker 2: at it, they called you?
[19:21] Speaker 3: Yeah, he called in the vein specialist. He said, no, no, no, no,
[19:24] Speaker 3: not a deep vein, shallow vein, shallow vein.
[19:26] Speaker 1: He'll be all right. And it turns out he was right.
[19:28] Speaker 3: But yeah, if it is a deep vein thrombosis, very dangerous.
[19:32] Speaker 2: And apparently him flying back and forth across the ocean
[19:35] Speaker 2: didn't help anything. Well, and he was up.
[19:38] Speaker 3: All night because they couldn't let him sleep for some
[19:40] Speaker 3: reason because of the danger of that.
[19:42] Speaker 1: I'm totally unfamiliar with that.
[19:44] Speaker 3: And so he played without sleeping in a foreign land
[19:48] Speaker 3: with his lungs full of clots.
[19:50] Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Was somebody trying to kill him?
[19:55] Speaker 2: So we're going to go through a couple of different
[19:56] Speaker 2: news stories for you. I do want to get to
[19:58] Speaker 2: this Douglas Murray piece later from the Free Press. France
[20:02] Speaker 2: stares down the abyss of history, basically talking about listing
[20:07] Speaker 2: many civilizations that have come and gone. in the long
[20:11] Speaker 2: epic of human civilization. And ours will go away, too, someday.
[20:17] Speaker 2: And this might be what it looks like. We might
[20:20] Speaker 2: be watching it in France right now.
[20:22] Speaker 1: Right, right.
[20:23] Speaker 3: You know, humans, you know, the old, it's practically cliche goes,
[20:29] Speaker 3: the only thing we learn from history is that we
[20:30] Speaker 3: learn nothing from history. People of this time, particularly Americans,
[20:36] Speaker 3: have known stability and peace, relative peace, And prosperity, for
[20:41] Speaker 3: so long, they think it's inevitable. I mean, they truly,
[20:45] Speaker 3: in their bones, can't be convinced that it could go away.
[20:50] Speaker 3: They think you're a nut job for suggesting it.
[20:53] Speaker 1: Right.
[20:55] Speaker 2: So, California, people call the UC system in California the
[21:02] Speaker 2: best college system in the world. I've heard that many times.
[21:05] Speaker 2: I don't know if they made that up. I don't
[21:06] Speaker 2: know what statistics do.
[21:07] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[21:11] Speaker 2: These numbers came out yesterday. Nearly one in five UC
[21:15] Speaker 2: freshmen are flunking math. Flunking, as in earning a failing grade, withdrawing,
[21:21] Speaker 2: or otherwise failing to pass. And given the epidemic of
[21:28] Speaker 2: A's in colleges and universities, like at Harvard, where they're
[21:32] Speaker 2: giving out 80% A's. Hold on.
[21:35] Speaker 1: Oh, my God. It's the Ebola.
[21:37] Speaker 2: No, I think it's that Russian thing.
[21:40] Speaker 1: Is there a Russian thing?
[21:41] Speaker 3: I've lost track of all the diseases.
[21:43] Speaker 1: Oh, he's dying.
[21:44] Speaker 2: Yeah, the plague. Remember they got the plague in Russia?
[21:47] Speaker 2: And it broke loose.
[21:48] Speaker 1: Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, the gal who died, yeah.
[21:51] Speaker 2: I think that's what I got.
[21:53] Speaker 1: I think it's the Ebola.
[21:54] Speaker 2: So in Harvard, they were giving out 80% A's. Up
[21:58] Speaker 2: until recently when they decided maybe we ought to slow down,
[22:00] Speaker 2: including A-minuses. But A-minus are about 80% of the grades,
[22:04] Speaker 2: which is insane. So I don't know what it is
[22:05] Speaker 2: at the UC systems. I don't know how hard it
[22:07] Speaker 2: would be to flunk a class is my question. But
[22:11] Speaker 2: you got nearly one in five UC freshmen flunking math
[22:15] Speaker 2: at your UCs, San Diego's, UC, LA, UC, Santa Barbara,
[22:20] Speaker 2: all your UCs. And it varies from school to school. Yeah.
[22:24] Speaker 2: For instance, at the worst one, UC Merced, 36% of
[22:30] Speaker 2: freshmen failed introductory math.
[22:33] Speaker 3: 36%!
[22:33] Speaker 2: Yes.
[22:34] Speaker 1: One out of three? Because they weren't taught it in school. Well, right.
[22:39] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not their fault. It's not their fault at all.
[22:43] Speaker 2: That's the problem, is you graduated probably with really... Well,
[22:47] Speaker 2: you almost had to graduate. You know more about this
[22:49] Speaker 2: than I do, because I've never tried to get a
[22:51] Speaker 2: kid into any school, but... To get into a UC school,
[22:56] Speaker 2: I assume you had to get pretty good grades in
[22:57] Speaker 2: high school.
[22:59] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.
[23:00] Speaker 3: I knew people who were just absolute certified geniuses, great extracurriculars,
[23:06] Speaker 3: stunning GPAs, earned. Who couldn't get into their UC school
[23:11] Speaker 3: of choice. I mean, it was too crowded. Partly with
[23:14] Speaker 3: Chinese nationals paying full boat, full price.
[23:17] Speaker 1: Just partly.
[23:18] Speaker 2: So then your freshman math class flunked it. You probably
[23:25] Speaker 2: got A's in math in high school and thought you
[23:27] Speaker 2: were good at math. Not your fault. The teacher told
[23:29] Speaker 2: you that.
[23:30] Speaker 1: B's at worst. Absolute worst. Yeah.
[23:33] Speaker 2: And then you flunk freshman math. And that'd be quite
[23:37] Speaker 2: the shock to your system.
[23:39] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
[23:40] Speaker 3: Some days I feel like the guy who got to
[23:42] Speaker 3: the restaurant early, but, you know, the lobby's comfortable, so
[23:45] Speaker 3: I'll sit here. I'll flip through some news headlines, get
[23:48] Speaker 3: some work done while I'm waiting for everybody to show up.
[23:51] Speaker 3: The showing up being realizing how utterly corrupt our government
[23:57] Speaker 3: schools have become, how corrupt and useless they are, how
[24:00] Speaker 3: underachieving they are, how powerful and destructive the teachers' unions
[24:04] Speaker 3: have become. A lot of us are clinging to our memories.
[24:09] Speaker 3: of what public schools were back in the day. It's
[24:13] Speaker 3: a different piece. Not to say all teachers are bad
[24:16] Speaker 3: or all schools are bad. There are some that are
[24:17] Speaker 3: doing their damnedest, but all the tides are flowing against them.
[24:21] Speaker 3: It's a terrible failure.
[24:23] Speaker 2: The courses included calculus and pre-calculus, which I assume you
[24:27] Speaker 2: wouldn't take unless you thought you were pretty good at
[24:29] Speaker 2: math because there's also preparatory math classes that are like
[24:34] Speaker 2: your basic math just because you need a math credit
[24:37] Speaker 2: to graduate.
[24:38] Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
[24:39] Speaker 2: Also algebra and trigonometry.
[24:40] Speaker 3: But you can't explain away much of this with, you know,
[24:44] Speaker 3: that person thought they were ready for calc, but it
[24:46] Speaker 3: turns out they didn't realize they weren't. No, my recollection
[24:49] Speaker 3: of the educational process is it's a pretty step-by-step thing.
[24:55] Speaker 1: You don't go from basic math to trigonometry, for instance.
[24:59] Speaker 5: Right.
[25:00] Speaker 2: That is something. And, of course, that brings up the
[25:04] Speaker 2: argument in California about bringing back the SAT or the
[25:08] Speaker 2: ACT scores. They're starting to do those tests again.
[25:13] Speaker 3: Even the utterly corrupt universities are saying, hey, come on,
[25:16] Speaker 3: this is stupid. Here's the metaphor for you. And it'll
[25:21] Speaker 3: take a long time culturally for the reasons we've been
[25:23] Speaker 3: talking about. But people need to start looking at government schools.
[25:29] Speaker 3: as like some sort of pauper's clinic for medical care.
[25:35] Speaker 1: That you only go there if you're desperate. Because it's
[25:40] Speaker 1: moving in that direction.
[25:42] Speaker 3: And I realize that's incredibly disappointing and scary to folks
[25:46] Speaker 3: who are living paycheck to paycheck and The idea of
[25:48] Speaker 3: a private school is terrible.
[25:51] Speaker 1: The idea of needing to do that is terrible. It's galling.
[25:53] Speaker 1: I swear to God, it is galling, and you have
[25:56] Speaker 1: my sympathy.
[25:56] Speaker 2: If you pay high taxes when you write that check
[25:58] Speaker 2: for a private school, it's like, what is going on here? Yeah.
[26:02] Speaker 3: You're being thieved from is what's going on here. Hey,
[26:05] Speaker 3: one more story I wanted to jam in.
[26:07] Speaker 2: J.D. Vance declined to endorse Netanyahu in a re-election bid.
[26:11] Speaker 2: So Trump came out strong over the weekend endorsing Netanyahu.
[26:16] Speaker 2: The election is coming up. The 27th, so just a
[26:20] Speaker 2: week away. Pretty big deal. Netanyahu is the longest serving
[26:24] Speaker 2: prime minister in Israel's history. Trump endorsed him. Vance did not.
[26:27] Speaker 2: Vance going with the, well, I'm not going to. We've
[26:30] Speaker 2: got our own elections going on. I'm not going to
[26:33] Speaker 2: get involved in another country's politics. Keeping in mind that
[26:37] Speaker 2: he went over to Hungary and endorsed Orban, for instance. Right.
[26:42] Speaker 2: Or went over to France and endorsed that ADF guy,
[26:46] Speaker 2: far right guy. So he's endorsed other people in other countries,
[26:49] Speaker 2: but not Netanyahu.
[26:50] Speaker 6: J.D.
[26:51] Speaker 2: Vance is trying to play pretty careful with the whole,
[26:53] Speaker 2: I ain't a big Israel guy, lining up to run
[26:57] Speaker 2: for president. No doubt.
[26:59] Speaker 3: He's trying to keep the anti-Semite right on his side.
[27:04] Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if I was Jewish, I would
[27:05] Speaker 2: be worried about the direction of things. When J.D. Vance is, like,
[27:09] Speaker 2: distancing himself from Israel, and then you got the left
[27:12] Speaker 2: doing what the left's doing around the Jews.
[27:15] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's rough. Oh, yeah, it's 1936, definitely. Yeah, and
[27:21] Speaker 3: I don't say that lightly. I just wanted to say
[27:23] Speaker 3: about Vance, you know, it is somewhat defensible in that
[27:25] Speaker 3: there are other, you know, good, strong, pro-defense patriots in
[27:31] Speaker 3: Israel who are like, Netanyahu's got too much baggage.
[27:34] Speaker 1: He's got to go.
[27:35] Speaker 3: We need a new generation of leadership. And that's not
[27:38] Speaker 3: an illegitimate point of view.
[27:39] Speaker 2: Well, he's also given speeches in which he talked about
[27:43] Speaker 2: Israel dragging us into a war.
[27:46] Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no. J.D. is absolutely kowtowing to
[27:49] Speaker 1: the anti-Semite, the Jews, right?
[27:53] Speaker 3: He's absolutely kowtowing to them. I'm just saying, in general,
[27:57] Speaker 3: for you, me, and everyone listening, you know, Netanyahu's not
[28:00] Speaker 3: the only choice in Israeli politics.
[28:03] Speaker 2: By the way, here's an inside media comment on this.
[28:06] Speaker 2: I heard somebody commenting, so that J.D. Vance story came
[28:10] Speaker 2: out of an interview Mark Halperin did with J.D. Vance on...
[28:14] Speaker 2: Air Force Two. And somebody commented, I haven't watched the
[28:17] Speaker 2: whole interview, but somebody commented, lots of news made here.
[28:22] Speaker 2: That's what happens if a journalist sits down with the
[28:25] Speaker 2: idea of trying to reveal positions or make news rather
[28:29] Speaker 2: than has an ax to grind politically. And that's true.
[28:32] Speaker 2: I'm so used to interviews. On either Fox or MSNBC,
[28:38] Speaker 2: where you're there to prop up somebody that you like
[28:42] Speaker 2: or tear down somebody you hate as opposed to just
[28:44] Speaker 2: get information out of them.
[28:45] Speaker 5: Right.
[28:46] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[28:48] Speaker 3: Yeah. Journalism may not be dead, but it's very, very ill. Oh,
[28:53] Speaker 3: I've got my favorite political candidate, perhaps of all time.
[28:58] Speaker 3: Brady Rogers is running for the city council of his
[29:03] Speaker 3: British Columbia city.
[29:04] Speaker 1: He's a Canucker, a Canadian.
[29:06] Speaker 3: He's gained attention for his campaign signs, which bore slogans
[29:09] Speaker 3: such as, I barely want to do this. Just trying
[29:12] Speaker 3: to pay my rent. Fine, I'll do it. And how
[29:15] Speaker 3: hard can it be? Even his campaign website opens with
[29:18] Speaker 3: the message. Do I enjoy politics?
[29:20] Speaker 5: No.
[29:21] Speaker 1: Do I know what I'm doing?
[29:23] Speaker 3: No.
[29:23] Speaker 1: But am I qualified? Also, no.
[29:25] Speaker 3: I have a feeling we're about to get your attention.

[30:41] Speaker 2: Usually we're talking about sports, NFL, Monday Night Football. Last night,
[30:45] Speaker 2: the San Francisco 49ers are now undefeated in 6-0. Did
[30:48] Speaker 2: you know that Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the 49ers,
[30:52] Speaker 2: I don't know after last night because last night was
[30:54] Speaker 2: his 51st game, but going in, 50 games in, he
[30:57] Speaker 2: had the highest quarterback percentage, your rating, in the history
[31:04] Speaker 2: of the NFL.
[31:04] Speaker 3: Wow.
[31:05] Speaker 1: That is correct.
[31:06] Speaker 2: Through 50 games. That's incredible.
[31:08] Speaker 3: And midway through the game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
[31:12] Speaker 3: were fitting him for his Hall of Fame jacket. They
[31:14] Speaker 3: were down on the field with the measuring devices and
[31:17] Speaker 3: the rest of it. And then the last three series,
[31:20] Speaker 3: the San Francisco 49ers.
[31:21] Speaker 1: Ran three and outs.
[31:23] Speaker 3: And they about lost to the lonely Washington Commanders. So
[31:27] Speaker 3: they sputtered to the finish.
[31:30] Speaker 2: Has something. The last guy in the draft has the
[31:33] Speaker 2: highest quarterback rating in NFL history.
[31:36] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Doesn't that say something about something? I'm sure
[31:39] Speaker 1: it does.
[31:39] Speaker 2: Their ability to evaluate talent.
[31:41] Speaker 1: You figure it out.
[31:42] Speaker 2: That means every team passed on him six times?
[31:45] Speaker 1: Try, try again or something. Takes one to know one.
[31:49] Speaker 2: Six times you had a chance to draft him as
[31:50] Speaker 2: a team. You're like, no, no, no, not him. Every team,
[31:54] Speaker 2: six times. Nah, not him.
[31:57] Speaker 4: Right.
[31:57] Speaker 1: Anybody but him.
[31:58] Speaker 2: Wouldn't you be embarrassed if the... Don't you want to
[32:01] Speaker 2: quit and find new work?
[32:02] Speaker 3: We'll take the hot dog vendor out of Michigan State.
[32:05] Speaker 3: That dude can really carry that thing up and down
[32:07] Speaker 3: the stairs.
[32:08] Speaker 1: We'll take him. Just not Brock Purdy.
[32:10] Speaker 2: We got mailbag next.
[32:13] Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
[32:18] Speaker 2: Seven times a texter pointed out. So the guy most
[32:21] Speaker 2: likely to be MVP in the NFL this season, Brock Purdy,
[32:25] Speaker 2: was passed on by every single team seven times. Before
[32:29] Speaker 2: the 49ers said, I guess we got to take somebody.
[32:35] Speaker 2: They were picking punters. Just long snappers. Guys who had
[32:40] Speaker 2: never played but were pretty big and work in the office.
[32:43] Speaker 3: Right, right.
[32:44] Speaker 2: Wow.
[32:45] Speaker 1: Mailbag. Oh, I'm sorry.
[32:47] Speaker 3: Freedom-loving quote of the day first. Almost went with a
[32:49] Speaker 3: political one, but then I came across this and I
[32:51] Speaker 3: really liked it. It's from Oscar Alec Ice, whose work
[32:54] Speaker 3: I do not know. I hope he's not somebody loathsome.
[32:57] Speaker 3: But I like this quote. The greatest challenge in life
[33:00] Speaker 3: is discovering who you are. The second greatest is being
[33:04] Speaker 3: happy with what you find.
[33:06] Speaker 2: Oh, that's good. Who said that?
[33:10] Speaker 1: Oscar Alik-Ice. A-U-L-I-Q-Ice. I do not know. Alik Ice, baby. Stop.
[33:21] Speaker 2: Right. Collaborate and listen. Oh, no.
[33:24] Speaker 1: Make him stop. Mailbag.
[33:26] Speaker 2: Wow, that's terrible.
[33:28] Speaker 3: Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. Nobody should know the words to that song,
[33:32] Speaker 3: including the guy who wrote it.
[33:33] Speaker 1: Got sued for it.
[33:35] Speaker 3: Let's see. On this topic, Jack, I know this will
[33:37] Speaker 3: be near and dear to your heart. We've been talking
[33:39] Speaker 3: about this both on and off the air from Gabrielle. Writing, guys,
[33:43] Speaker 3: on the topic of wokeness replacing religion, I was just
[33:46] Speaker 3: listening to part of the podcast about wokeness filling the
[33:49] Speaker 3: void of Catholicism. I live in a part of Idaho
[33:51] Speaker 3: with a high LDS population. That's the Mormons. And the
[33:55] Speaker 3: most serious lefties I know are ex-LDS. You spend your
[33:59] Speaker 3: whole childhood hearing about unquestionable moral authority. Who knows what's
[34:03] Speaker 3: best for you, even if it doesn't make sense to.
[34:04] Speaker 1: You in the moment.
[34:05] Speaker 3: No wonder you're searching for something else that gives you
[34:07] Speaker 3: the same moral comfort. Thanks for keeping me entertained on
[34:10] Speaker 3: long drives across Idaho. It's our pleasure, Gabriel.
[34:12] Speaker 1: Thank you. That's a good point. I think it's true.
[34:16] Speaker 3: It seems a little odd to me, but it's true.
[34:21] Speaker 3: People generally go from one fundamentalism to another.
[34:26] Speaker 1: In short. Let's see.
[34:27] Speaker 3: Sarah with two R's in Kentucky writes, guys, on the
[34:30] Speaker 3: topic of Paris, it's sobering to realize that the rioters
[34:33] Speaker 3: in France are treating the country's architectural gems worse than
[34:36] Speaker 3: the Nazis did.
[34:37] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[34:38] Speaker 3: It's true, and it's depressing to hear the young female
[34:41] Speaker 3: shop owner shown in so many photos now memes begging
[34:43] Speaker 3: looters to stop destroying her life's work, but she still
[34:47] Speaker 3: supports immigration, rampant immigration. I guess suicidal ideologies are a
[34:51] Speaker 3: human right. Though Paris is now the city of light,
[34:54] Speaker 3: it could still be the city of love. Tim Walz
[34:56] Speaker 3: could whisk his wife away on a romantic trip where
[34:58] Speaker 3: she can sleep in ennui and languidly smoke French cigarettes
[35:02] Speaker 3: while huffing the aroma of burning tires.
[35:06] Speaker 1: That's a beautiful sentence.
[35:08] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[35:09] Speaker 1: Let's see.
[35:11] Speaker 3: Another J in San Jose says, I think France should
[35:13] Speaker 3: immediately enact under emergency powers that any naturalized citizen, refugee,
[35:17] Speaker 3: or other non-citizen status who participate in riots, destruction, theft,
[35:20] Speaker 3: and other behavior will be deported. Then, based on French
[35:23] Speaker 3: revolutionary history, let's get through the establishment executions quickly.
[35:27] Speaker 1: One week max.
[35:28] Speaker 3: Then let's welcome the new revolutionaries, give them control of
[35:31] Speaker 3: the government. France is nuclear, so that's a concern. This
[35:33] Speaker 3: means we'll have to hurry up the executions of the
[35:35] Speaker 3: revolutionaries that had shades of Robespierre I proposed within two weeks.
[35:39] Speaker 3: We could probably wrap up this whole thing within a
[35:41] Speaker 3: month and get back to 40-hour work weeks, retirement at 65,
[35:45] Speaker 3: and shut the blank up.
[35:48] Speaker 1: That's good stuff, another J. I love that. Let's see.
[35:52] Speaker 3: Amani points out that the NFL is supposed to play
[35:54] Speaker 3: in Paris this weekend.
[35:55] Speaker 1: Yep. They say it's still on. We'll see. We'll see
[36:00] Speaker 1: if it's on.
[36:01] Speaker 2: What a great thing to disrupt. What a symbol of
[36:04] Speaker 2: Western civilization to disrupt an NFL game.
[36:07] Speaker 1: And how much would France hate that? Yeah.
[36:10] Speaker 3: We got a bunch of emails on the topic of
[36:13] Speaker 3: Trump and Russia and Ukraine and that.
[36:15] Speaker 1: Sort of thing.
[36:16] Speaker 2: Want to do that for a standalone segment?
[36:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't we do that later on? I'll collect
[36:20] Speaker 1: the good ones.
[36:20] Speaker 3: Both agree and disagree. Obviously, you're more than welcome to
[36:23] Speaker 3: dissent around here. We think it's a good thing. Mailbag
[36:26] Speaker 3: at armstrongandgetty.com.
[36:27] Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to get into that in an hour
[36:28] Speaker 2: or two. That's a heck of a topic which I
[36:30] Speaker 2: think could really explode in the Republican Party. If you
[36:32] Speaker 2: miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty On Demand.
[36:37] Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
