You May Borrow A Few Craps To Give

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

Armstrong and Jette and he.

Arms a disgusting abomination, the Armstrong and Getty Show.

I could be a new liner from a dimly lit room deep with them, the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound.

Which sometimes is a disgusting abomination. You should see behind.

Me today we are under the tutelage of our general manager. You stole my general manager. I'm faster, so I guess our general manager. More less is the Elon story the DA the DA certainly Yeah. I had a couple of alternates, but that one is too amusing to pass up. Elon Musk calling the Big Beautiful Bill not a big and beautiful, but a disgusting abomination.

Here's my favorite part of the coverage.

Course, if you're going to participate in an abomination, it is going to be disgusting.

True.

My favorite part of this is the glee with which all the lefty media is taking it. I wonder if people will stop flipping me off in my cyberbeast. I got another one yesterday. It wasn't a flip me off. But this young person was walking in front of me in the crosswalk as stopped at the red light. They went eo boo, boo boo.

And thumbs down to me in my Tesla cyber truck.

So I wonder if that'll stop now that the glee has begun with the lefty media. NPR was jutting up and giving you high fives. Now roll down your window, high five, then way to go, NPR, and just so excited about this and what I like about it the best is and this is what I felt about last week because I thought that was way overblown, the end of the bromance.

They're way more interested in the high school gossip. Ye who's friends and who's not?

Then how about you look at the actual issue of the debt and whether this is a good idea or not. I don't give a crap about the relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

I give many craps, as many craps.

As you can give about may borrow a few craps to give right about whether or not the country goes broke. The horrifyingly moronic irony of the lefty media cheering Elon Musk for his criticism. Yeah, you criticize Elon, I'll it crazy over spending and going into debt and social programs that are too big. You plas trump over that? Are you serious? Are you people really serious? I know, God say there aren't nearly enough slappings in this country. These

It's crazy. It was crazy in two thousand.

And people talked about it regularly, but it was a tiny amount compared to the way we overspend now right right. If I were to sound one note of hopefulness, it would be this. I was just reading Jason rilesyd soon is that your notable?

It won't matter when you're dead.

No, I was reading Jason Riley's column for the Wall Street Journal, and he was talking about how the Democrats have hemorrhage support among various minority voters and his analysis, which we may dive into a little bit later because he's a terrific writer, but his analysis essentially boils down to all of the rhetoric and the race baiting and all that just it. People see through it. They want to know about is my neighborhood safe? Do I have

You know.

I had this thought as we were just about to jump on the air this morning. A disgusting abomination, that's right. Ah. You remember, back way way way back two thousand and three, Gladys good times, George W. Bush had a brilliant idea, We're going to bring a Jeffersonian democracy to Iraq. Work beautifully. Anyway, we were waiting for the Shock in Awe to begin, and CNN, which wasn't crappy back then, was broadcasting live from Baghdad. You remember old bag Dad Bob tanks. What day?

You can't argue with a word of that.

No, it's absolutely correct. Some of the criticism I've heard coming back at that is, yeah, that's what these bills look like always yo.

Yeah, well that'll be my point always.

Yeah. And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, Yeah, your party doesn't overspend at all, Biden. Biden didn't run multi trillion dollar deficits. And you, of course were screaming and yelling about fiscal responsibility at the time. Oh please, subscene, it's the whole thing is obscene.

Of course. The Republicans are disgusting, abomination.

That's what it is. The Republican Party is supposed to be the party that calls out the spending. And now this, Yeah, we tried that, nobody wanted it. Yeah, good point, sign the Republican Party. We should start the show officially before we lose everybody. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this How did it already get to be Wednesday, June fourth year, twenty twenty five or Armstrong and getting We

How to eat a banana. Now we don't pick it up and peel it like a primate. Instead, we use a knife and fork. First, going from one end, cut it off, then cut off the other end, turning your knife on its side, score down the skin, peel back.

And he likes, that's a guy explaining how to eat a banana, and not like a damn primate with a little class, except that we are quite literally primates for almost apens. If I ever sat down with somebody and they ate a banana with a knife and fork, I feel like I might have to just get up and leave without a word. I would don't even say anything. I wouldn't even say excuse me. I would just stand up,

Yeah, that's a good point.

Maybe I should stick around and see what other disgusting abominations occur.

You're eating a banana with a knife and fork.

You cut off one end, then the other. Now ton your knife sideways and scalf the banana. What how does he eat an apple? I can't imagine. Similarly, it's classy, however he does it. My guy was wearing an ascot, wasn't he, Michael, Yeah, to be of course, I eat soup with my hands, so I'm the wrong guy to house. Oh, we have a lot more news of the day to get to some good stuff.

I hope you can stick around for Yeah.

Honestly, some of the analysis of the bill is pretty interesting going. More and more is emerging about the giant Ukrainian drone attack, really revealing and fascinating and somewhat troubling. Yeah. Also, there was a Speechifian thing that was big in the Beltway, probably most people didn't hear about it, but in which JD. Vance and Marco Rubio offered up a vision of the future post Trump that as a conservative, if you are

You really should not, because this is coming like a steam train, I would agree. Yeah.

Anyway, We've got lots of stuff on the way, including Katie's headlines to stay.

Here summertime and the living is easy? Huh is it?

I hadn't noticed you left early yesterday. You didn't get to see Michael and I. Michaelangel and I doing planks based on a new study of how long you should be able to do a plank at various ages. So I was attempting to make up for my inexcused absence last night by working, and my wife came into the room where I was watching news and going through news sources, and she's cracking up. She has tears in her eyes, she's laughing so hard. She says, have you heard the

That's fun.

You both get Katie Green. Yes, what's that? They both did well over fifteen issue? Yea is that was? That's a hell of a planking performance. Salute you both. Although how strict were we about formed?

I was two and a half. I wasn't gonna quit until Michael Okay, yeah.

I finally just had to quit. Or there's give me a nine to one one call on epic Paddle. I'd love to hear more about it, but it's time to figure out who's reporting. What's the lead story with Katie Great Katie all right?

Starting with USA Today, Bolder attacked suspects family cooperating in probe, but could be deported soon.

Yeah, they've already been grabbed by Ice. Interesting story about his daughter, we'll get to a little bit later. Who loves America. Came to the United States to go to medical school. She is the last daughter that he waited for to graduate.

She seems like she loves this country.

And are we even her out?

I think so.

I don't think that's a plan, which sucks for her. Hey, dad, thanks for being a terrorist and ruining my entire life.

Orron from NBC.

Trump ratchets up steal tariffs to fill percent.

Yeah, they double. They were twenty five, now they're fifty. And we'll see what this does to prices.

From the Wall Street Journal, Iran's supreme leader rejects US nuclear deal offer.

Yeah, where is this going? And the spicy spicy time. Right, And in case you've forgotten, the biggest war we've been engaged in in a quarter century is what the threat is.

That's US bombing Iran, As you guys mentioned from.

The Washington Post, Musk rails against Trump tax bill, calling it a quote disgusting abomination.

Well, he's right, but they all have been to see that. That's the missing piece of this. They have been year after year after year after year. I agree completely with Elon Musk, but again I think what the headline here is a brilliant billionaire pays attention to government for first time.

For ABC.

Two Chinese nationals charged with smuggling potential agro terrorism fungus into the United States.

Wow, she thought that this was not some sort of Yeah, he had a little athlete's foot when I came through customs. No, this is a pathogen designed to do damage. Wow, this is an act of war in my opinion. Wow, if the investigation pairs out, I.

Want to hear more about that.

Yeah. If you see the pictures that they've posted of this, they're in like specimen bags labeled.

I want to hear more about this story. Somebody needs to take give them of this. I suppose could get me to get back to Elon Musk. I heard some guys who ought to know better the other day talking about Elon Musk and saying, well, yeah, I guess he's you know, he's a kind of bright guy. He's done some stuff. But what is it with the need to denigrate Elon Musk whether you agree with him or not, Well.

That's over. Barack Obama had like.

The top one percent of political instincts and ability to connect with audiences. He was once in a generation political you know talent who I disagreed with on virtually everything. But I don't hesitate to say the guy was really bright. What is it what the need to say, yeah, Elan Ana know, he's I got I don't know.

From the New York Post, Tiffany Gomes, the crazy plane lady who went viral after the not real Grant launch his new career.

Yeah, it's kind of only fans issue for you pay various things to talk to her and stuff. She's being very coy about what she will or not do won't do on this website. Do you pay a subscription for private? Yeah? Whatever, good for you, crazy saxy plain ladies. I see the appeal. Yeah, unfiltered and unapologetic. She's calling provocative.

And finally the Babylon Bee Hamas agrees to surrender if Europe will take Gretaitunberg back.

So we stole my dreams. We teased about a dozen different stories. We will hit on some of those and we will try to make them interesting for you. That's what we do right here on the Armstrong and Getty Show. Armstrong and Getty.

Actress Sidney Sweeney has partnered with a men's personal care brand to offer a new soap made from her bathwater, because you want to be nice and clean when the FBI shows up to your apartment.

So we were just talking about the fungus that these kamis tried to sneak in from China, and that seemed to be a pretty accurate statement. By the way that what I just said So this Chinese national couple, they both study funguses and that sort of stuff in China. She's a known member, like active member, of the Chinese Communist Party. She comes to the United States and starts studying at university in Michigan. And he tries to smuggle in this fungus that would kill crops, could kill livestock.

You're right, how this isn't an act of war, I don't know.

And I think a presumption that, let's see, communist agents, known communist agents, snuck this in not for innocent research, but to do damage, is a presumption. We're absolutely well. I think it's incumbent on us to make that presumption. If we don't, we're just too stupid naive to have a superpower anymore. You've got a sworn enemy bringing pathogens into the country that could do billions and billions of dollars of damage to agriculture, and then lying about it repeatedly.

Well, right, and there lie.

If they're both really super to researching this thing and they just you know, he brought it in here so they could do more research, so they could be university stars or whatever, that's a pretty good lie. I mean, that'd be a pretty good story to throw out there, as opposed to all this pretending you didn't do it and then looking through the communications and figuring out, yeah, you did it and you'd been working on it for quite some time. Wow.

Yeah, Wow, that's something I hope we take this seriously.

Whole of society effort to overcome the United States, that's what China is engaged in. From the bankers to the scientists, to the soldiers to the shopkeepers, they're all tasked at times with finding a way to end the Great Satan's rule. A little follow up on Katie's other story about the daughter of that freaking crazy flamethrower terrorist dude from Colorado.

He had been the.

Cover feature of a glowing profile that the oldest daughter in the Denver Gazette about winners of its best and

So what the hell's going on in that family?

I don't know if she's an outlier and the other four are, you know, or or terrorist sympathizers or whatever mom and the other kids, or or if he was just a went off the rail or I don't know what's going on there, but that's.

Quite the story.

Yeah, I would guess we're going to find out he just went off the rails. What a kook? Did you see the latest video where you see him show up in his gardener outfit? Uh? Sus, Yeah, I think I saw it. So he shows up in saw him in his vest in Hi? Yeah? He shows up in orange vests they bought at home depot or whatever with and he bought some flowers to make it look more like

I'd never thought about this before.

There will be a lagging productivity with AI, likely in the same way there was a lagging productivity with computers and the Internet. So there's a lot of talk about how AI is going to make us so more productive that even if it eliminates jobs, will be as a very productive society. And maybe, you know, AI and computers can do all the producing and we'll just live off their producing, which is great, not gonna work. But that aside, I had never heard this before, and I should read more about it.

So when.

It became a thing that you didn't have to sit down at a typewriter and uh and and type out a long letter or you know, dictate to your secretary and then they tape type out along that or other you know, word processors or voice texting or all these different sorts of things happened. We didn't immediately become x, you know, more productive. Because of that, we had x more time to screw around. And that's what most people did. You just had a less busy day.

For the most part.

You'd get you could get, you could get, you know, you could get out a proposal in and half the time with computer or the internet or whatever. But it seems that we use that other half hour that we would have used before having to write it out by end and then type it out by in you know, surfing the internet or talking to.

People are on the coffee or whatever, as opposed to being more productive.

And then over time, in the way that the private sector does, you know, they squeeze more out of you, and then they should and then you know, eventually they hire Bill and give you Bill's job. Now you've got two jobs and you're making the same salary you made before. But you're happy for it because the Bill has no job.

Political problem for them.

You know, there's gonna be there's gonna be blowback to that, and companies are gonna have to figure out do I, you know, how much do I of this?

Do I want to do?

Even though financially it's a good idea, I don't need these people, but I don't want to be you know, I don't know, I don't need people picketing outside my house and all that sort of stuff.

So that'll be a heck of a thing to watch.

Well, hear at Getty Incorporated, we don't give a damn about you, your family, your hopes, or your dreams. And what we will be doing is laying off precisely, and we will use a hi to determine this number precisely the maximum number of people we can that still is below the threshold of anybody really paying attention to. Right, we will lay off two hundred and ninety eight people every other.

Right until we're done. Right, But that is gonna be the way it has to unroll.

Yeah, But then it becomes a political problem for politicians, and it could be a mass in the whole country, and and then one party is going to take the reins of something. One party will claim we'll bring back all those jobs even though they can't, and you get elected over and over again. Would never claim that. Hilarious. Oh speaking AI, one more note on that topic. Apparently an increasing number before we move on. Do you buy that?

Do you buy that?

I'd never heard that before. Do you think we just had more more screwing around time at work? Maybe that's when, like, you know, March madness, brackets really took off or whatever, when the word.

Process are hit.

Yeah, I don't know if it'll be uh, you know, just three months or five years. But retrospect, do you exist? But do you think that happened before? Because I'd never heard anybody say that before. Oh yeah, yeah, I think so, just because you know the methods by which you can monitor precisely how productive your people are at every minute. It doesn't exist in white collar jobs. Uh huh. It might, you know, if you're if you're screwing a nut onto

You know.

This reminds when I was working in the feed lots. Take Gladys. I was a high school kid. I was working in the feed lots and I was a feed truck driver for a while, and at one feed lot i worked at, I would I went out there, and after a couple of weeks of doing it, I could get it all done in like forty five minutes.

And people actually came to me, other feed truck drivers who made.

A day out of it, who came to me and were like, what are you doing this is Why are you doing it so fast? I was like, well, that's all it takes. I mean, I just figured out what the you know, the right route is, and it just that's all longer it takes like what are you doing? Wow? So they proudbeach out of it. Huh No, I kept doing it that way. But there's a lot of that in every industry. I think. You know, you make your

So yeah, when new tech hit, you just stretched it out.

I'm sure there are really interesting books that are best sellers that some of you, you know, sophisticated business people are aware of that I'm not. But that deal with that phenomenon and how different it is in say startup culture, where everybody's hustling seventy five hours a week, I mean, and like trying to outvie each other. It's productivity on steroids under their desk, not eating lunch. Yeah, the startup

No?

I think I would remember if I had. Yeah, yeah, Okay. Mailbag's coming up in a couple of minutes, and then I want to get into the search for the future and both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Perhaps next hour.

Also, we need to take a look in the China cabinet, the trade war negotiations, fraud. Relationship with China is getting more complicated. Wow, and we've got a Russia's about to hit a milestone in casualties that is worth noting.

It's amazing and historic. And Joe's got mail bag.

Next the I'm Strong and Getty show disgusting ab elimination. The custume tours is going up, but our bock jest is.

A great deal. I'm Strong and Getty one. What did he say?

It was a good deal.

The Armstrong on Getty pod day, Armstrong and Getty on Demand, it's our new jingle. We would have paid one thousand dollars for that, more than well back like in the eighties. That'd be like a five thousand dollars project and eighties dollars and Hanson did it twenty. It's taking it like nine months to get it right, at which point it was irrelevant. Yeah yeah, wow, wow, here is your nomination.

Mail bag, that's no joke either. That's not eneration at all I know.

I was tempted to go off on one of my endless streets, but I held myself back.

There's a crazy breath.

No reason slavery in kings and serfs can't come back as the dominating form. That's been the reality for ninety nine percent of humanity from the moment we emerged from the primordial ooze until the moment of the recent disgusting abomination, human existence has been slavery and depression and then then horror. Anyway, drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and getdy dot com. Note here from Michael Hey, King of the

Oh, my son will be so excited to hear about that. He watches Hagan Hill every day.

Yesterday we went for our walk and he said Dale bought some alien blood from a guy in a garage.

Oh, you know, they've got to have and I.

Know Mike Judge will do this. Mike, if you're listening, thank you for listening. And secondly, have a transgender guy running against the girls at ARLN High School. Yes, but Peggy, he's a boy anyway, let's see, or Bobby decides he's trans Oh no, no, no, no, we can't go no no, no, no, too much? All right? Moving along on the topic of AI behaving badly JT and Livermore. I've said this before.

You're obviously a very knowledgeable person.

But I've read enough about AI to know there are other very knowledgeable AI people who disagree with you completely.

That's one of the interesting things about AI.

There are one hundred and eighty degree differences among the smartest people in the world on this stuff.

So how it shakes out, I don't know.

His final point is that these llmai's development is based on the actions and lives of billions of flawed humans. Humans. Lies, cheat steel that sometimes right and wrong or black and white most of the times. More compliment that is. One of the concerns is that if it takes in all the information human beings have ever had, we are a flawed species. We are a greedy, selfish, self interested species. I am. Let's see this from damon Beautiful San Jose, California.

That is an excellent point.

How come there aren't any trans girls, trans boys, boys, whatever, I get them all mixed up. Yeah, anyway, we'll talk about it late if you miss the segment of the podcast.

As you heard in the songs are Strong and Getty
