0:10

It is Armstrong

0:12

and getting the first place a tall

0:15

radio. All these idiots of foods and jackets

0:17

on radio. What an introduction that was. Holy

0:20

gosh, my gosh. Nobody does it better.

0:22

We don't want another incident here, good. Yeah,

0:25

it's such a bizarre I

0:27

apologize for that, all right, go

0:29

go, you're having bedlam

0:31

already in the screets MC

0:34

and he Armstrong

0:39

and getting who

0:45

I've even from the studio. See

0:49

Joe is still wiping off with Clarkes

0:52

wipes over there, even though I don't think anybody comes

0:54

in here while we're gone. But you don't know if Cretan's are

0:56

in this studio while yeah, I don't know. Sometimes

0:59

somebody else is signed out to my computer. Bus

1:01

boys, Jack, little

1:04

freaks, bring your bags up to the room over

1:06

night ers Jack, weekend

1:09

DJ's Jack. I know

1:12

those are extra chloroxy. I know I'm gonna

1:15

drink a little of it, just like the President

1:17

said I should, because the President said you should. Do

1:19

you remember when that was a story I had still a

1:21

story I saw saw story

1:23

on yesterday. Please anyway,

1:26

dimly let room, et cetera, et cetera. It's a

1:28

little Friday, right, We're that close to the weekend of

1:30

the day. We're under the two ledge of our general manager,

1:32

Georgia and other

1:35

states and municipalities that

1:37

as of a couple of weeks ago substantially

1:40

open Georgia to a large

1:42

extent. Now listen, some

1:44

of you, if leap in the conclusions

1:46

was an Olympic event, you'd be gold medalists.

1:48

But I will tell you this and

1:52

don't leap. But thus far,

1:54

two weeks down the road, which is about

1:57

what you'd expect to be the time period

1:59

where you see a spike in cases

2:02

in places that have opened up, there's not only

2:04

been no spike, there's been a decline. Yeah.

2:07

I saw somebody tweeted yesterday. Remember

2:10

when we were told that Georgia opening up would

2:12

lead to many deaths? That was those were good times.

2:15

So it was two weeks ago and uh, and they've had

2:17

a decrease. Yeah, it's just

2:19

it's continued to decline slowly. It's

2:23

a good sign. Let's see how it goes. But

2:25

it's a very good sign. God God.

2:27

The constant alarmism of the media to

2:29

keep it tuned in is so irresponsible. So much

2:31

of all this stuff we're only going to know with the

2:34

benefit of twenty twenty

2:36

hindsight. Yep. And of course we

2:38

all will have various declarations of

2:40

how I knew it. Oh,

2:42

you know, once all that's revealed. But if if

2:45

that one story turns out to be true, remember

2:47

from a couple of weeks ago that the thing

2:49

has got like a seventy day cycle, whether

2:51

you clamp down or not, you know, And

2:53

that's been backed up by a few countries and cities

2:56

and states in that right, it's got a cycle

2:58

to its existence. Um,

3:01

no matter what you do. Yeah, and the curve remarkably

3:03

similar in all the country studied, whether they clamped

3:05

down hard sum or not much. I

3:09

was I was thinking driving in I

3:11

don't know what you think. We're not paying you to think.

3:14

Oh, that's right, we are sorry back to you. Um,

3:20

how much to talk about going forward

3:23

today and going forward this whole Flynn

3:26

unmasking Russia

3:29

collusion story, you

3:33

know in terms of you know, well, for

3:36

our purposes, we're we're in the business of making

3:38

a living, and the more people that listen, easier

3:40

it is to continue making a living. So

3:43

that's really goal number one. Very

3:45

solid analysis gone and

3:48

uh and and so you don't have to start with

3:50

how much how interested people are in that story,

3:53

and then secondly, you know how important

3:55

it is all over overall. But it reminds

3:57

me of a story that was huge

4:01

Jee's Now it's a

4:04

dozen or more years ago, and some

4:06

of you probably don't even won't even remember

4:09

this, the Valerie Plame story.

4:11

Oh yeah, and she was

4:14

married to somebody, and

4:16

it featured Dick Cheney

4:18

and the run up to the war in Iraq and or uranium

4:21

tubes and and somebody did go

4:23

to prisons. Scooter Libby, who was uh, Dick

4:25

Cheney's chiefest staff, ended up going to prison and

4:27

stuff like that. But it was non

4:30

stop on your left leaning cable

4:32

news channels, right and they were just sure this

4:34

was the biggest scandal of all time. And and

4:36

and I remember at the time thinking, I don't know what you're

4:38

talking about. And I'm positive that eight out

4:40

of ten Americans are not paying attention to this, And

4:43

I just wonder if that's going to be true for this story.

4:45

That doesn't doesn't not speaking to the importance

4:48

of it, but just whether it's

4:50

gonna, you know, reach out to most

4:53

Americans. Nobody

4:55

on the left's gonna hear about it at all, oh no, Whereas

4:57

in the Valerie plame thing, the entire

5:00

either left media

5:03

inflamed it constantly as much as

5:05

they possibly on the right was talking about it.

5:07

I remember, because I would, you know, I'd watch my Fox

5:09

shows and stuff like that, and there'd be zero information

5:11

on a particular day. You know, I managed to

5:13

come across a fair amount, but I don't remember where

5:15

I was looking. I would watch, you know, an episode

5:17

of a Hardball and it'd be an hour

5:20

of Valerie playman, uranium tubes and lying,

5:22

and then you know, weapons of mass destruction and this

5:24

is going to be so huge and investigations and allays,

5:27

and then on Fox, I wouldn't hear one word about

5:29

it. And I don't think middle of the road people

5:31

were following either, And I just wonder if that's not

5:33

gonna be the case with this story. Didn't Scooter Scooters

5:36

let me get busted for making false statements? Yeah?

5:38

Yeah, same thing. Yeah. Oh, Speaking

5:40

of which, oh my god, what a blockbuster turn

5:42

of events in the Flynn deal where

5:45

the judge has

5:48

appointed another judge

5:51

to figure out whether we should recharge

5:54

Flynn. The government said no, that there's

5:56

no crime here. We're not going to charge him. We're

5:59

a limitating this prosecution. The judge

6:01

said, no, no, no, I'm having too much fun. I'm

6:04

having this retired judge step in, and

6:06

even the New York Times said this is unprecedented.

6:09

Judges will occasionally appoint a special

6:11

advocate. For instance, like a case

6:13

involving children. You have your costa

6:16

programs, your court appointed special advocates

6:18

who represent the interests of the child. Well,

6:20

in this case, the judge is appointed a

6:22

special advocate to represent the interests

6:25

of the government after the government said

6:27

no, we don't want to prosecute. This

6:29

is a strange, strange turn. Tell

6:32

you more about that to come. Well, I have a conclusion

6:34

of what I think is a very

6:36

similar to the whole Michael Flint's story, and

6:40

I'll talk about that later. It's just my opinion. It could be

6:42

wrong. I don't know. I think eighty percent of America

6:44

won't care about this story. I guarantee it, and

6:47

or you know, it's complicated, it's

6:50

partisan, and then even once you cross into

6:52

the other side of the partisanship, it's just complicated.

6:55

And then will anything ever happen of

6:57

significance in terms of being anybody being

7:00

charged or anything happening, anybody

7:02

being punished. Well, you could certainly accuse

7:04

me of having an inflated ego

7:07

or regard for the show. But I think the answers

7:09

of those questions depending on people like

7:11

us. Honestly, I think it's an ecregious

7:14

miscarriage of justice. I think it's a perversion

7:16

of what the FBI is supposed to be and

7:19

what the FISI courts are supposed to do and how they're

7:21

supposed to absolutely is well, I'll tell you, I'll

7:23

tell you a short version of

7:26

what I think this is. Like. I think it is just

7:28

like now. It's partially because I'm so cynical

7:30

about government. I'm very cynical about government,

7:33

and I'm very cynical about our intelligence services

7:35

have been ever since the Edward

7:38

Snowden thing, because I think he I

7:41

think he absolutely let us all know the way

7:43

this works. I think this whole thing

7:45

is very similar to the um

7:49

the College scandal of rich people getting

7:51

the under kids into universities. It'd

7:54

been running that way forever, and

7:56

people and it was just it was happening

7:59

all the time all over the place. And know the people

8:01

at the top knew it, and they got so

8:03

sloppy at some point that it's spilled out

8:05

into the real world and people said, oh, we went a little

8:07

too far. I think this is exactly the same

8:10

story. I think our intelligence services

8:12

listen to whoever they want, They read

8:14

their emails, they listen to you, they follow you whatever.

8:16

I think they do it whenever they want to, whoever

8:19

they want. They can get the FISA

8:21

warrant anytime they want to, talking FBI, NSACI,

8:24

all these people. I think they do whatever the hell they

8:26

want all the time. And

8:29

they and unmasking people. It's

8:31

just it's they're rules in place, but it's so willy

8:33

nilly, and I think they crossed the line

8:36

toward the end of the Obama administration into

8:39

you know, they're photoshopping the head of

8:41

a kid onto a pole vaulter that's not even the

8:43

same race, and getting into usc

8:45

in terms of the FISA court applications. I think

8:47

that's a great meta all of it, listening to people,

8:50

following people, unmasking the whole

8:52

thing. I think I think they just I think it just

8:54

got so sloppy. They're so comfortable

8:56

and entitled. But it's been going on

8:58

forever and they and and

9:01

now it's crossed the line, and you know how

9:03

how much anybody's going to pay a price for Anno. But

9:05

they'll pull back a little bit, and they'll continue to spy

9:07

on this one Unmascus and do all that sort of stuff, but a little

9:09

more quietly in administrations to come. That's what I

9:12

believe. Yeah, well, there could be some

9:14

reform, though, I mean, you can't deny the existence

9:17

of reform in the past. When it

9:19

will knock it down a little bit, they'll knock it down a little

9:21

bit, but we'll go away. Not a chance. Okay,

9:25

I'm too cynical about it. Well, if the best

9:27

you can do is knock it back a little

9:29

bit, let's knock get back. Sure, that's

9:32

Edward Edward Snowdon. His whole

9:34

thing was, Look, they're not supposed to do this, but they

9:36

do it whenever they want. If they want to look

9:38

at your records, they come up with a reason and they do

9:40

it right. And I'm sure that's what they do in all these

9:43

intelligence agencies. Yeah, and then they got

9:45

so sloppy at the end of the Obama administration.

9:47

The ambassador to Italy can say I'd like all

9:49

this unmasked, and they said, okay, here. It's all their names,

9:51

whoever whoever wants an Okano. It reminds

9:53

me very much of what a baseball insider once

9:56

told me. The steroid tests in

9:58

baseball are so easy to get around. They're

10:00

not a steroid test, They're an intelligence test.

10:03

And come and Clapper and and Obama

10:05

and Biden and and Susan Rice

10:08

and the rest of them. Um, they

10:10

just got so sloppy

10:12

that they failed the intelligence test. Yeah. All

10:14

built around the fact that they didn't think a Trump would

10:16

win, so nobody would know in another one right exactly.

10:18

They knew and loved and owned the referee

10:20

who was going to make the call right when

10:23

Hillary got inaugurated. We got

10:25

a bunch of other stuff though. Let's introduce remain the

10:27

squad. There's our board operator, Michael Angelo,

10:29

pressing button's flipp and tagles, pulling levers hard this

10:31

morning. Michael, I'm very frustrated. UM, I

10:33

have a wedding in October and we're trying to we're

10:36

trying to decide I want to send out. I've sent out

10:38

these well, they

10:39

save the days. We've got ours on the refrigerator.

10:42

Michael. The date has been send out

10:44

the actual invitations soon, But I'm

10:47

I'm hoping that by you know, October,

10:49

this stuff has gone away. Is it early October

10:52

or late October? October eleventh, mid

10:55

October, that's what I feared. I haven't saved

10:57

the date in my mind. I do have it on my calendar,

10:59

but I have a memorized it. Right. So we're

11:01

trying to decide how to plan this thing. Is everything

11:03

going to happen or you know, I can

11:06

understand why you'd be concerned, because do you have people flying

11:08

in and stuff like that or yeah, yeah,

11:12

plus you have to put down deposits and stuff.

11:14

And my biggest worriors, we're trying to hold the money till

11:16

the last minute because if you that's a tough

11:18

call. But because you know, will we be flying and staying

11:20

in hotel rooms and all that sort of stuff come October?

11:23

I sure as now hope so, but

11:25

who knows? I know we will?

11:27

You think so? You don't think there's gonna be a second wave? And

11:30

I don't know. I don't know. I'm just trying

11:33

to keep the segment moving on. We're

11:35

running late. There's positive Sean,

11:38

who smile lights up the room. How are you, Sewan? Doing

11:40

very well? It was on this day in our history,

11:42

in the year seventeen hundred and eighty seven,

11:44

May fourteenth, delegates to the Constitutional

11:47

Convention began to assemble in Philadelphia

11:49

to confront a daunting task, the peaceful

11:51

overthrow of the new American government as defined by

11:54

the Article of Confederation. That sounds

11:56

like really important. It sounds like something that I

11:59

should know more about. I'm assuming that has

12:01

to do with the whole you know, America

12:03

being a great nation sort of thing. And it's

12:05

good. And Alison, am I correcting and piecing

12:08

this together in that wheelhouse? Yes? Exactly.

12:10

Yeah, Um, I'm Jack Armstrong.

12:12

He's Joe Getty on this. How did it get to be already

12:15

the day of How come my sphones now some days my

12:17

phone doesn't show the date, which

12:20

is weird. Well, it's someday. I

12:22

don't know what date is. I'm

12:24

guessing it's Thursday the fourteenth,

12:26

I believe. Okay, my phone doesn't tell me that. Yeah, okay,

12:28

let's begin now officially according to FCC

12:31

rules regulations at Mark and

12:33

I saw Joe Biden on television yesterday,

12:36

and if you watch him, he knows nothing. He knows

12:38

absolutely nothing. It's

12:45

a blanket statement. That's some high

12:47

flying political rhetoric there. Joe

12:50

Biden is day dummy. So we got lots

12:52

to come on that other stuff Trump said too

12:54

about Biden, which is kind of fun. How does

12:56

mail bag next

12:59

on the Armstrong can get Armstrong

13:02

and Getty.

13:16

The Armstrong and Getty show how

13:21

the corn industry is going to lead away

13:24

lead the way to the country

13:26

opening back up again. Also,

13:30

a judge said no to a governor who wanted

13:32

to extend stay at home order, So we'll

13:34

look at that state. Yes, indeed,

13:36

an interesting decision, and we

13:38

will consider I've been considering your

13:41

quote unquote cynicism,

13:44

and I've been exploring in my

13:46

own mind and in the minds of others, Jack, the

13:48

difference between cynicism and realism,

13:52

and I'd like to talk about it that a

13:54

little bit later on. We will

13:57

also, Oh, oh man, did we get

13:59

a lot of great email about teaching

14:02

your kids at home and distance learning

14:04

in a lot of texts too. I know we'll be

14:06

talking about that right now. Mailback.

14:13

So anyway, Jeff was talking about the percentage

14:15

of people who will even hear about this Flynn stuff

14:17

and the miscarriage of justice and the rest

14:19

of it. And I was reminded of one of my

14:21

favorite Samuel Adams quotes, and this will be our

14:23

freedom loving quote of the day. It

14:26

does not take a majority to prevail, but

14:28

rather an irate, tireless minority,

14:31

keen on setting brush fires of freedom

14:33

in the minds of men

14:38

and girls too. They just always

14:40

said men back in the day. Sorry about

14:42

that. More proof you've

14:44

made the big time, writes Ron. I

14:46

was using ord Callie Unicornia in a

14:49

text for the very first time this morning, and

14:51

it was already in my phone's dictionary.

14:53

Whoa really, you guys are all over the

14:55

place. Go man, go

14:58

man, Thank you. Hilarious

15:02

love. I see a person up that drives

15:04

me crazy. Got you

15:06

got a congress person with a mask on

15:09

on TV. But it's down around their chin, it's

15:11

not over their mouth. I see this all the time,

15:13

dummy. That's she's

15:15

got it there. She got it on her mouth

15:18

and knows and then she takes it down to be interviewed. That

15:20

lifts it back up again, as in a restaurant,

15:22

to show that she's still wearing

15:24

right right, right right. But you're not using

15:27

it in a way that's that's doing anything. Um

15:29

as at a restaurant drive through yesterday and I looked through

15:31

there and somebody was doing that in the restaurant, and

15:34

I just either wear a mask or don't. Don't

15:36

I just for some reason that really bothers me the

15:38

whole I got it on. I'd

15:40

rather you didn't have one on. Well,

15:42

then I get fired. Yeah, exactly,

15:45

I have to have it down around my chin. Here's another

15:47

encouraging note, this time from Ken Working

15:50

people in small businesses have a message

15:52

for democrats in our government. America

15:54

needs will do not mildew.

15:57

Now, I guess he's working

16:00

on a chant. America needs

16:02

will do not mildew.

16:05

What what's getting moldy in the economy

16:09

is shut down. That's mild It's getting

16:12

moldy and mill dude is dusty.

16:14

Jack. We need to dust it off. We

16:16

need a real We need to pull the chain,

16:19

we need to turn the key, we need to kick it

16:21

in its ass, and we will

16:23

do not mildew. Yeah.

16:28

Having a good time, Joe, Hey,

16:30

Jim and Chula Vista, California.

16:33

With a great, great point here.

16:36

The feminists and

16:39

I actually I've found this fairly persuasive,

16:41

but have created what they call the Bechdel

16:44

test to determine whether a fiction

16:46

or a movie is woken off. I

16:48

would say whether it takes women seriously

16:51

as as real beings as opposed to

16:53

sex objects. The test is if

16:56

there's a scene with two or more women where

16:58

they're talking to each other. There has

17:00

to be a scene with two or more women where they're talking

17:02

to each other about a topic that's not

17:05

a man, the leading man just

17:07

portraying women as having lives outside

17:10

of you know, whatever, the hot man, um blah

17:13

blah blah. Imagine if this type

17:15

of test was turned on the mainstream media whenever a

17:17

piece of media could exist blah blah, whether

17:20

in the story a conservative or conservative

17:22

policy position is

17:24

stated, not purely

17:27

for the purpose of refuting it. If

17:29

it doesn't pass this test, the piece of media is designated

17:32

as left propaganda and derided. I

17:34

think that's a really good point, Jim, in a good comparison.

17:38

We got a lot to catch you up on on the way. I hope

17:40

you'll stay here, um, and I'm out

17:42

of time. We're all out of time, and

17:45

get the

17:58

armstrong and getting like

18:05

most of us, Biden has been hunkered and bunkered

18:07

at his home he's been holding online

18:10

campaign events and that's not going to change anytime

18:12

soon. According to his team, Biden

18:14

plans to continue campaigning virtually

18:17

from home. It makes sense, you

18:19

know, the old saying, if it ain't broke,

18:21

don't fix it, and if it is broke,

18:23

but rising in the polls, lock it in the basement.

18:26

Yeah, that's absolutely true. Struck

18:29

by his opening statement, though like most of us,

18:33

it's confined to home. I ain't

18:35

the way it looks out there in my life driving back

18:37

and forth to work, and things are so close to back

18:39

to normal now it's almost hard to remember this is

18:41

going on right as I go to like, you

18:44

know, only the fact that a lot of the stories of the Strip

18:46

Marl are closed, but there's still a ton of cars about

18:48

in traffic. Traffic is now. Yes,

18:50

there's a place on my way home. For the past two months, I've

18:53

been stopping to relieve myself along the highway,

18:57

very earthly, very classy. I realized

18:59

a little bit of an overs couldn't

19:01

do it. Yes, somebody had to say it couldn't

19:03

do it yesterday because there's

19:05

too many cars. Got care's

19:08

a car coming, wait, comes by, there's an our car coming

19:10

it's back to the way it used to be where I couldn't

19:13

stop there because so many cars out and about

19:15

it. Wow, so many questions. Maybe

19:19

later you can see my privates?

19:21

Ken ye, ken ye? Can you see my privates?

19:24

Ken ye? Ken? Yet you've got to get to a

19:26

porta potty, put it on a trailer and

19:28

just pull it everywhere you go or commute

19:30

in your RV. It's not Fourth and Broadway

19:32

in a city, it's out in the country, or

19:35

there's seldom traffic commuting

19:37

in an RV. Would that not be the ultimate

19:40

American act? Oh? Yes, yes,

19:43

it would be. Oh boy, we gotta mention

19:45

this. You know, it's Thursday, So that means

19:47

the jobless claims come out almost three million

19:49

people again, three million more,

19:52

three million more jobless claims

19:55

adding to the two month tally. We're now eight weeks

19:58

in with thirty six million people. Afit

20:00

we open too quickly, though, there

20:02

are risks. Thirty

20:05

six million people that are out of work that weren't

20:07

out of work just eight weeks ago, And

20:09

how many of us have taken a pay cut in

20:12

that amount of time and will for a while

20:14

to come. I know we had a somewhat different

20:17

plan for what we were going to do with this segment,

20:19

but I cannot restrain myself. That

20:23

quote from what's his face there, Colbert?

20:26

That was Colbert, wasn't it? Yeah? About

20:29

everybody in their basement reminds

20:31

me of one of the great A and G truths.

20:34

We ought to come up with the ten Truths.

20:36

That's our DJ book, that's

20:39

our talk show host book, the Ten

20:41

Truths of Armstrong in Getti. Maybe

20:43

we can come up with a better Are we on the title? Are

20:45

we on the cover standing back to back with arms

20:47

crossed its mile in at the camera? Yes, but in

20:50

dark suits? Okay, so we look like

20:52

serious people anyway. One

20:54

of the great truths is you should

20:56

not take in life through the eyes

20:59

of the media, because they are a

21:01

unique brand of human clustered

21:04

tightly in Manhattan's words

21:06

shot up there a lot of words just because

21:08

you don't know what they mean. That was unnecessary.

21:11

Why would I demean I

21:14

have a lot of anger. I was thinking, like, if

21:16

thou shalt not kill right, we need direct calls

21:19

to action or in action? Okay,

21:21

all right, at the head of the chapter, I'll

21:24

boil it down. This is the rough draft. Here's

21:26

the text. Of the chapter, don't

21:28

take in the world through the media.

21:31

They are clustered in Manhattan, the

21:33

belt Way of DC, and Los

21:35

Angeles and live extremely

21:38

different lives than you do. For one

21:40

thing, and most of them are either

21:42

crazy rich or under contract

21:44

and have no fear of losing their jobs. Thou

21:46

shalt not kill would be New York

21:49

is not America nice, Which

21:51

this is why I need a co author. I'm so scattered.

21:54

But I heard somebody say the other day

21:57

that their fear is we

21:59

close down as if everywhere

22:02

is a New York and we're opening up,

22:04

as if everywhere is rural Montana.

22:06

Well, I don't know if I Well, I don't

22:08

agree with that. Well, that was their concern. Absolutely,

22:11

the first part is certainly true. Right, we closed

22:13

down as if everywhere is New York. Right, And

22:16

if you take the world in through the eyes of the

22:19

media, the waitresses

22:21

and plumbers and retail

22:24

workers, and the millions, the thirty

22:26

six and a half million people in counting, and

22:28

the numbers way higher than that because the

22:30

you know, delay in getting jobless claims filed

22:33

and getting somebody to pick up the phone, etc.

22:35

But so you're looking at forty forty five

22:37

million Americans who are out of work. Now,

22:40

where is their voice among the media

22:42

elite? You people claim to be so you

22:44

know, into the little guy, but you're they're

22:46

in Manhattan terrified of the COVID

22:49

And that's fine. But for instance,

22:51

un nakedly progressive radio. This morning, I happened

22:53

to hear a guy reporting on the Wisconsin

22:55

story where the governor slash

22:57

health ladies order was over

23:00

turned by the court, and the anchor

23:02

at was asking indignantly about

23:04

what's happening there? Does anybody and he

23:06

said, you know, really, county by county, it's a patchwork.

23:10

The urban counties are still locking down

23:12

the and the rural counties seem

23:14

to be mostly open. And they were expressing

23:16

that as if it was a terrible problem.

23:18

And it's just so confused. Oh,

23:21

it's enough to make me insane listening to this.

23:24

All right, Michael transition music go

23:26

ahead. I

23:37

don't remember what we were talking about, the right

23:40

on to something else. So I got a couple of school age

23:42

kids, a second grade in the fourth grade, and we were talking yesterday

23:44

a little about the lockdown, how it's affecting schools.

23:46

Oh, I know what started it. It hadn't

23:49

even considered the fact that there might

23:51

not be school in the fall, And now it's regularly

23:53

being discussed that school won't

23:55

come back in the fall. Some giant college

23:57

systems of all are already announced that. And

24:00

I was thrown out the question of what percentage

24:02

of of you know, a regular

24:04

school day do you think your kids are getting in terms

24:06

of education and everything, like, what percentage of learning?

24:09

Yeah? Yeah, so far?

24:11

How far behind are we getting? And if

24:13

we add a whole nother you know, half a year to

24:16

it, And I threw out I said, I'd

24:18

like to say fifty percent, but I think if I'm being

24:20

realistic with my own son, a fourth grader, probably

24:22

thirty percent. And you know, part of it

24:24

is the limitations on the school

24:27

end of it, and then part of the limitations on my

24:29

end of it of you know, not doing as good a job as I

24:31

could have overseeing it and all that sort of stuff because

24:34

I have a job and whatnot. But

24:37

so I threw that out to the listeners, expecting higher

24:39

numbers, and got lots of texts. I don't think anybody

24:41

said over fifty percent. There's like one fifty

24:43

percent, a whole bunch of thirties and forties and quite

24:46

a few five tens and twenties of

24:48

what percentage of a regular school they think their

24:50

kids are getting out of this. I'll hit you with

24:52

a couple of texts my

24:55

ninth grader. A couple of things I got

24:57

out of this is it varies from teacher

24:59

to teacher, which is not surprising, varies

25:02

from kid to kid because like I said, there's two ends of

25:04

it. There's there's the other end of

25:06

the screen, and there's this end of this of course. Yeah,

25:08

my ninth grader is getting about twenty five to thirty

25:10

percent of learning of a normal day. Not all his classes

25:13

are participating online. My seventh grade probably

25:15

fifty to sixty percent. Although he's struggling

25:17

with depression. He needs the socializing aspect

25:19

of school. Yeah, my fourth grader is that way.

25:21

He's so social and that's so

25:24

important to him. It's just killing him that

25:26

he's at home and all his friends are out there and they facebook.

25:28

But you know it's not the same. Yeah, there is allegedly,

25:31

and I believe this a huge increase

25:34

an explosion in anxiety

25:36

and depression among young kids right now because

25:39

they're not having the interaction that they crave

25:42

again again, We're gonna

25:44

trust science and data.

25:47

We're not going to reopen. We're not gonna

25:49

make this about politics. Such a stupid

25:51

dodge depressed, so many factors

25:54

involved, another one. One kid,

25:56

third grade is getting a great amount of organized video,

25:58

zoom, written content and support. The other

26:00

fifth grade is getting a confusing bulk

26:03

mass of content with little direction. It

26:05

seems to have cornered the old school teachers

26:07

and caught them unaware. I don't know if

26:09

that's true or not. I know that there's certainly got

26:12

to be an element of that. I like this one.

26:14

This might relate to you. We thought our fourth

26:16

grade son might be actually learning more at

26:18

home when we first started in March, but with

26:20

a full time job, it's getting steadily harder to find

26:23

the time. Besides, I don't know how to teach his math. I

26:25

underwrite millions of dollars in business

26:27

loans, but I don't understand the way they do their

26:29

fractions. No, so we just hired a math tutor

26:31

to work with him once a week, and we make him read. Other

26:33

than that, we kind of called the year done. I

26:36

think there's a lot of that. Well, yeah, the common

26:39

core math has got to be an enormous problem.

26:41

Yeah, we hired a tutor. Two, if

26:43

you can do that, it's great. If you can't. If

26:45

we couldn't, we'd be so far behind. And one

26:47

more I want to hit you there, specifically up on common

26:50

core and that's yeah, because

26:53

after thousands of years

26:55

of modern mathematics, they've

26:57

changed it. Archimedes

27:00

would have to hire a tutor. Well,

27:02

I won't name the name, but I know a

27:05

Stanford PhD

27:07

professor who said they had to hire a tutor once

27:10

they got to seventh grade to deal with the math portion.

27:12

Guh. And this is somebody who deals in a you

27:15

know, a stem sort of world. Yeah, but

27:17

don't worry. It's not just a fad and a trend

27:19

in education. It's it's it's this is the good

27:21

way. But back to the shelter

27:24

at home distance learning. Hey, Jack, listener

27:26

for twenty years. I'm a male teacher.

27:28

I'm zooming my fourth grade class and I'm

27:30

still getting thirty out of thirty participation

27:33

because of isolation. My students don't

27:35

know the lack of attendance in other classrooms

27:37

and I haven't told them it's not graded, so their

27:39

output work is constant. I can't imagine

27:41

the education gap even between classes.

27:44

Next year, my students should be getting uh, my

27:48

students will be sitting next to other classes

27:50

that are not doing as well. But I

27:52

agree the education gap is going to be the

27:54

problem. It varies so much from kid the

27:56

kid, class to class, district to district. How

27:59

in the world are you going to have kind of the standardized

28:01

this is what a fifth grader knows, right

28:04

right, Yeah, that's that's a great challenge.

28:06

And it also strikes me that for

28:09

teachers, this is a lot like taking a

28:12

great comedic actor and

28:14

saying, all right, now we're gonna do improv. Some

28:17

are gonna be pretty good at it, some are gonna

28:19

be utterly incapable. I mean, it's

28:21

just such a change in paradigm that, you

28:24

know, someone sink, some will swim.

28:26

If your kid has the sinking teacher, well they're

28:29

going to learn a hell of a lot less than the kid

28:31

on the next block. I Scott, you

28:33

know, you know more talented

28:35

teacher in this new media. I know you got

28:37

a bunch of emails about it, but it

28:39

reminds me that, um, and we've

28:41

said this several times, the whole fallen in love

28:43

with technology just because you can

28:46

do it this way doesn't mean it's the best way

28:48

to do it. I was on an appointment yesterday.

28:51

I'll be vague, but I was on an appointment yesterday

28:54

and the video kept cutting it out, and I

28:56

kept thinking to myself, why are we not just on the phone

28:58

together? This would be fine, we don't need to see

29:01

each other's faces. But everybody kept freezing

29:03

up, and if one person started to talk,

29:05

you couldn't heard this, and there's no way you could

29:07

interject. And why are we doing

29:09

this just because the technology exists?

29:11

Or why aren't you, you know, ten

29:14

feet apart in the courtyard of the building

29:16

where whoever works or whatever, in

29:19

a part of the world with practically no cases.

29:22

And I think there'd be an advantage to some of the schooling

29:24

to think, is there what are

29:26

ways to do it that don't have anything to do with

29:29

zoom or WebEx or maybe even the internet at

29:31

all. What are some of the things we could do? Yeah?

29:34

Yeah, well, you know, I excuse

29:36

the world to some degree for thinking, all

29:39

right, this is the most similar to what we've

29:41

been doing, and so

29:43

this is our first choice. It

29:45

takes going through stuff once or twice. It's funny

29:47

setting my mole traps the other

29:49

day, trying to murder the moles who were murdering

29:51

my yard. The first one was

29:54

quite difficult to arm and set up.

29:56

The second one was effortless. And that's the way

29:58

life is. A lot it is, and most of the time

30:00

you never do something so often, you never do

30:03

something twice. I think that all the time. I

30:05

now know how to reinsulate

30:07

the inside of a dryer right fifteen

30:11

hours. If I had to do it again, I could do it in thirty

30:13

minutes, but I'll never do it again.

30:15

Well, my favorite aspect of that sort of thing is

30:17

is the sort of job that you have to do like once

30:19

every six and a half years, and

30:22

so every single time it's the first

30:24

time and you think I did it, I

30:27

just can't remember. I know there's a

30:29

trick that no, it's terrible anyway,

30:31

So I think, well, I think we will

30:33

get a lot better at this sort of thing having

30:36

gone through it once. Let's hope China doesn't

30:38

unleash a new you know, bat fever

30:41

or monkey pock or or

30:44

kangaroo gnaria or whatever kangaroo

30:46

next year. What they're doing, God

30:49

forsaken communist labs. Did

30:52

somebody sets up a kangaroo or did it escape from

30:55

syn't escape from a lab? Oh,

30:57

the kangaroo escape from a lab. There's no proof of

31:00

but oh, we almost got through the entire

31:02

segment without mentioning Trump, Armstrong

31:06

and Jetty.

31:19

The Armstrong and Jetty Show, The

31:27

Disgrace Financier Jeffrey Epstein

31:30

is dead? Did

31:32

he kill himself? Wasn't killed?

31:37

There's something happening here that was bigger than just

31:40

Jeffrey Epstein. He

31:46

was known as the Gatsby

31:48

like figure of mystery. It was stunningly

31:51

rich. He had a twenty million dollar house.

31:53

His own private island in the Caribbean

31:55

has a nickname the Pedophile Island. War

32:00

new Netflix special about Jeffrey Epstein.

32:03

Yes, oh bet that's going to be pretty good.

32:05

The conclusion of unity to kill himself,

32:07

to somebody kill him could wear me out. But the

32:09

background we already know the answer to that. The

32:12

background I think is I think

32:14

a lot of Americans are going to be shocked. The politicians

32:17

and heavyweights in Hollywood and everybody

32:19

tied into his crazy lifestyle and how

32:21

he lived that way for so long openly,

32:24

and nobody seemed to care. Oh no, no.

32:27

If you can spread money around in

32:30

good times, the politicos

32:32

won't hesitate to hang around you place. You

32:34

can be as filthy as can be. Netflix with a

32:36

new documentary. But does he own a tiger or at

32:38

all? They? And this is a single time,

32:41

This is a docuseries also

32:45

many I don't know. I haven't seen a number

32:47

yet years later on this month. Well, if a

32:49

single NBA season is ten, I

32:52

gotta believe a guy's entire life as a pedophile

32:55

board it's got to be a thirty or forty episodes.

32:57

Butty is the soul of documentary's

33:00

come on before we go on. That

33:02

was the one of two kind of big profile

33:05

documentary trailers that dropped yesterday. The other

33:07

one is about Lance Armstrong, and I want to play this

33:09

one simply because I think you'll

33:11

recognize some similarities in the tonal

33:13

qualities of these two trailers

33:15

for documentaries. Okay, all the

33:17

praise that we put upon him was

33:20

all well deserved. Winning seven

33:22

Tour de Fronces is not easy. That's extremely

33:25

difficult to do. The French media

33:27

began taking shots at Armstrong last week, so

33:30

I see your point. So documentaries might have a

33:32

problem in terms of pr You've got to

33:34

differentiate yourself somehow.

33:36

I think, well, there seems

33:38

to be exactly armstrong

33:42

tiger that killed Jeffrey

33:44

Epstein. I'm confused that

33:49

well known French tour to tiger Um.

33:51

There are apparently two voiceover guys

33:53

for the entire industry. There are three

33:56

pieces of moody and slightly ominous music.

34:00

And whoever invented boom

34:04

has gotten very, very rich or is

34:06

getting ripped off because it is completely

34:09

obligatory. I dare you to make a

34:11

documentary. Add with that the trailer

34:13

that doesn't have a we

34:16

might have to have that sound around just for whenever. And

34:20

then and then

34:22

Michael Flynn stepped into the room.

34:27

And then my wife said to me, Joe,

34:33

oh my god, that's funny in

34:35

a world. So I

34:39

just came across this video. We'll have to post. It

34:41

won't be available till later. I gotta get it to

34:43

Hanson. But alarming video shows how quickly

34:46

all right, alarming

34:48

video shows how quickly coronavirus can spread.

34:51

At a restaurant, they did something kind of interesting. They got

34:53

some liquid fluorescent

34:55

paint and they put it on one person's hand

34:58

a little bit like if they had s eased into

35:00

their hand. Yeah, then all these people ate

35:03

at a buffet for an hour. Ten people ate

35:05

at a buffet at an hour with one person who had

35:07

sneezed into their hand with this little fluorescent

35:09

paint. Then at the end of the hour they turned off the

35:11

lights, yes, to see where the virus

35:14

would have spread in that hour, And it was on practically

35:17

freaking everything. It was shocking

35:19

and amazing. Then I read some

35:21

of the comments from scientists that

35:24

said, well, list doesn't mirror

35:26

in any way how a virus should blah blah blah,

35:28

And that's how I thought. But then then I thought,

35:30

Okay, you people are being a little precious about

35:32

this, because it's just it's extraordinary.

35:35

I mean, you know, a bacteria

35:37

or a virus or whatever. Even if the effect isn't

35:39

quite what the what it suggested it

35:41

is, it's still amazing.

35:43

Oh yeah, I was reading the story yesterday about somebody

35:45

coughing in a room and then an hour

35:48

later, droplets still hanging in the air and all that

35:50

sort of stuff. You

35:52

walk into a room, hasn't met anybody in there in forty

35:54

five minutes. Yeah, but forty five minutes ago

35:56

somebody sneezed in there. You know, I

35:58

do not bring this up to be gross or

36:00

childish for once, but

36:03

smells are organic

36:06

particles floating in the air an

36:08

aggressive sense that you that

36:10

you are made to sense. That's

36:12

one of the reasons I've never thought flatulence

36:14

is funny, like

36:16

you third graders. I

36:19

don't think flatulence is as

36:21

funny as you and your

36:23

attitude toward flatulence is. But

36:26

it's funny. But yeah, that's that's organic

36:28

particles. So yeah, for instance,

36:32

and they hang in the air for quite some time. You may have

36:34

noticed that. I mean, did you see

36:36

that. Where is that old folks home? Was that New Jersey

36:38

where seventy three people died?

36:41

I mean, that's extraordinary. It's

36:43

terrible, and it was under

36:46

appreciated, under reported. I think that the folks

36:49

who work in those homes were crying

36:51

out for personal protective gear for

36:53

themselves and their patients. The number of nursing

36:56

home workers who've died is

36:59

shocking, terrible. You

37:02

know, if you get this stuff concentrated enough and get

37:04

enough cases of it, you'll see horrific results,

37:06

particularly among the old. For the

37:08

rest of us not so much so.

37:11

Wisconsin opened back up and people descended

37:13

upon the bars. I think that's kind of funny. Yeah,

37:15

I hate are welcome to Wisconsin.

37:18

Was going to go to the bar and get a beer there? Bars

37:20

openlessar Wisconsin, right um,

37:23

And the new jobless numbers are out and

37:26

oh boy, oh boy, you're right Barmstrong
