Now, broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gaddy. Armstrong and Technic enough. Armstrong Getty It's Friday live from Studio C. See, senor. A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong in getting communic ations compound and headed into the weekend we are toiling under the title of the show. My most literary title ever. Fantastic. Casca reacts to slush fun scandal. What's Cascade? Of course, Jack, you recognize Casca . In Julius Caesar, I'm sorry, in uh William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, he was the first to stab Caesar. Okay. Did not remember that. Caesar Trump has been stabbed and the knives are coming out is my uh contention. Alternate title if you prefer something less uh obscure. Platiner is a Nazi creep, and the party that calls everybody a Nazi and started hashtag MeToo is standing by him. Cool. It's funny you break up Shakespeare 'cause I'm like on the I'm I'm I was thinking yesterday. I'm about to go on a the biggest Shakespeare dive of my life. I've decided I'm gonna make that my next mission, having just finished Ulysses almost all the way through the second time. Um, I'm gonna go on a Shakespeare kick. Wow. Because there's like a really, really long chapter in Ulysses that I did not understand a lot of the references, and I thought I need to be better read on this stuff. So your intellectual uh explorations. Oh I gotta. I'm just so bored with all this p politics crap. I'm bored to death of it. I have n it's very difficult for me to talk about it at this point . I'm just so bored with it. It's the same freaking thing every day. I was listening to Chuck Schumer on the floor after last night. What the Republicans just showed us is they have no and I thought, how do you people do this for fifty years? You politicians, how do you get on both sides? It's exactly the same thing. How do you get up there every day for 50 years and pretend you care about this crap? And say the exact same thing over and over again. Chuck Schumer, just stand up and say, I'm going to say the usual things about Republicans being bad, but I won't waste your time And then the Republicans chick it up and say the same thing. Here is the I see previous comments from the last thirty years and then sit down. Right. The usual stuff about radicals and open borders and balancing the budget and uh not waste any more of your time. Now is this just uh a product of um what can happen in life through age? Or is it because I think it's because I feel like things used to happen, like legislation got passed and things happened. And then you talk about that. But nothing ever happens now. It's just the sniping behind the scenes. And then some people get a kick out of talking about the sniping as if it's relevant, but it usually isn't. Yeah, there used to be a pretty significant performative edge to the actual business of legislation. Now it's just performance. There is virtually nothing happening happening legislatively, although they did pass a big bill financing uh border security. Uh but yeah, the the work of Congress has become the showmanship. Well, and I guess And it's not even very good showmanship. That's the problem. It's not good entertainment. And then oh it's entertainment though. So that they they get to the that's the perfect word. So and then in terms of having entertaining things to talk about on this program, that's our shared soap opera now. That didn't used to be true either. That that was everybody's number one show that they they they they followed was freaking presidential politics. Right, right. Well see, I would never traffic in the kind of uh droning schumerisms that you're referring to. What I am bringing politically today is fascinating and revealing turning points in American history. So you're in good hands. Oh yeah . I wouldn't merely fascinate you. That's a child's play for a man like me. I must also reveal. I should play a game with myself or maybe on the air where 'cause we got TVs on in the studio. I should turn my back to MSNBC and Fox and try to guess what they've got on the screen and then turn around and see if I'm right. Like today I feel like I could have guessed I turned around, I looked up at Fox and they've got what's his name, Platner's Bear Chest with his Nazi Nazi tattoo up on the screen. Yep. And then on MSNBC they had a shot of Trump appearing to be asleep at a meeting yesterday, which I might have been able to guess too. Do you think he's dozing off in those meetings? Looks 100%. Looks 100%, at least the one from yesterday. Which doesn't really bother me that much. I'd like to doze off right now. I'm staying up too late watching sports. Damn it. I think it was his energy guy with the cool hair, the billionaire from North Dakota. Um he was uh he was um going on and on about shale or something like that. You know, middle of the day, maybe a little hot in the Oval Office, had a big lunch. I can see I could see snoozing just a little bit there. Right, yeah, yeah. Oh god, not shale, I guess. I can remember I Gladys, I can call back this feeling at will whenever I want to. What it was like the first class after lunch, like in high school. Oh. Any class. And if it was like social studies or something like that, and it was hot in the room because you know the the heat of the spring and summer was starting to come, and they didn't run the air conditioner that much. So it's hot in there. And the person's droning on about something, something, something, Bueller, anyone, Bueller, and it just just oh my head weighed eight thousand pounds. Oh, I know. You could have drifted off in a second. I know. Like one second if you'd you know per mitted yourself. And I was never the kind of guy that could do what some of the other people did who just flat out laid their heads down on the desk and went to sleep. You know, you weren't trying to hide it at all. I could j I just never could I think I probably did that once or twice. I I know I didn't. I I looking back on it, I wish I would have. Like I've said many times, I wish I'd have skipped school once. I never did one time, ever. Neither did I . I don't know. Should have walked on to me. Because uh because I know this now as a parent who has high schoolers. You don' don'tt you want to, you know, start down a path and you think if they if your kids get sk skip school, you think it's gonna be a lifetime of of of lack of responsibility and all that sort of stuff. That's what you're worried about. But looking back on it when everything's turned out, it seems like one time on a nice day when everybody went to the lake or something, I should have done that once in my life. Yeah. See, I engaged in all of my reckless behavior and there was quite a bit of it on my own time. So I didn't fe likeel I needed to opt out of school. But you gotta admit there's a different feeling if you're doing something naughty. That's a different feeling. Oh, please, the forbidden fruit. Exactly. So yummy. Yeah, so yummy. Hmm, should have done it once. But you know, what are you gonna do? Um let's start the show officially before we get in trouble with the FCC. Who knows who the FCC director is? I'm Jack Armstrong and he's Joe Getty on this. It is Friday, June 5th of the year, 2026, where Armstrong and Getting we approve of this program. Let's begin then officially according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we go at Mark. On the view, Dr. Jill asserted that Joe would have beaten Trump in 2024. Not to the White House, to the White Light. Oh boy. Did not see that coming. Ah, that's a great joke. That's a pretty good joke. I like that a lot. Yesterday was my uh sophom ore uh his last day of school. So uh are you officially a junior once you You're a rising junior. I'm not gonna use that term. That's not gonna happen. Why not? Anyway, so it's his last day of the sophomore year and he went over to a friend's house after school and I went to pick him up last night and man the smiles on their faces just the happiness that was exuding from the I I almost caught some of it. I almost got happy for a second. They were so happy. Oh no. Just with the fact that summer was here and one more year behind them. Oh, they were just floating. They were so happy. Jack Sophom ore from the Greek Sophos meaning wise and moros meaning fool. Okay. How about that? Huh? I was mostly. Then what do you 've quoted Shakespeare and ancient Greek. Oh but unfortunately that's all I got. That's it. Uh what's junior mean? Just less than a senior? Yes, younger than a senior, but older than a sophomore from the ancient Greek sophos, meaning wise. Oh, I I did that one. Do you have any idea where freshmen comes from? Uh I think it's self evident, isn't it? Freshmen . It's like freshmen. Brand new. Okay. Gotcha. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Why they had to work a little Greek in just for a year or two, I have no idea. Right. They don't teach them that or anything else. And and some my favorite professor in college, Ira H. Carmen, who uh introduced me to that. Uh brilliant man, brilliant. Fantastic, and that's stuck in your head. Yeah, I don't know why. Mm-hmm. I thought I've been s I've been hearing this word my entire life, and it never occurred to me to ask what it means other than second year. So there are new jobs numbers out that are good according to people who look at that sort of thing. And uh cool. And we'll look into that and the unemployment rate and uh a a bill that did pass last night. Yes. And I do want to get into the stabbings of Trump. It is an open season now on people who have been grumbling about Trump to now just say it openly. You think? We've heard this a few times. Over 15 years. If you were a junior like me and not a sophom ore from the ancient Greek Sopho speaking wise , you would know this already . Okay, and we've got our headlines with Heather Myers next. Stay here .

I hope this doesn't steal a headline from Heather, but Trump said he's gonna go to at least one home Knicks game . Which would be pretty big. The president of Madison Square Garden, I assume, to an arena full of booze. I don't know. Probably though. Top ticket price documented so far for the first Knicks game in New York, $1 7 6,000 . That's a lot. Boy. Nosebleeds are going for high thousands, high four figures. Yeah, and the other day they said uh they expect your Tim F Chalamet seats to maybe be in seven figures that front row uh for all the stars. Anyway, uh resumes tonight in San Antonio game too. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Myers. Heather, take it away. Happy Friday, Jack Joe. Good morning to you let's find out how the networks are covering the news. Starting with CNN. Senate passes massive immigration bill and big win for Trump From MS Now, Senate Republicans fall in line with Trump and passed reconciliation bill. And from the Associated Press, Senate OK's $70 billion immigration bill after rejecting efforts to per manently ban Trump's settlement fund. Frankenstein like surely not. From the BBC this morning, Zelensky proposes direct meeting with Putin to end war. I saw that. Malkarp Mark Cowperin's newsletter about the animosity between Putin and Zelensky is now part of the problem of getting any end to this war. They hate each other so much. I have no doubt. It's far from unanimous, but there are some serious Russian heavyweights who are now saying we gotta end this. Can't win it. It's too costly. We've got to end it. Interesting developments. Could you imagine after all of this, the two of them meet face to face and settle this . I can't imagine how that would go down. I don't know how you could secure the safety on either side where you could have something there where they both feel like they're not gonna get snatched or killed. I don't know what that would look like. It would almost have to be in I don't know Geneva as administered by the United States, China, and the entire UN or something. I mean, I get you're right. What a logistical nightmare. From the LA Times this morning, California election results. Rahman makes gains, but Spencer Pratt remains ahead in LA mayor race. Yeah, there's still way too many votes out to predict anything. Yeah, they say 64% they assume are in right now. From NBC News, U.S. added 172,000 jobs in May, even as inflation squeezes consumers. Once again, adding lots of jobs in the health care sector. How do we add so many tens of thousands of jobs in healthcare every month. That's amazing. And government. And government. From CNN Kennedy Center orders staff to remove Trump's name. All right . There's a story I haven't been following also. Well, you've missed the fascinating developments then. Trump putting his name on the Kennedy Center and then the artsy fartsy crowd just being up in arms over it. All right, whatever. From Newsmax, 20% of young people use AI chatbots for mental health advice. Only 20% would be my response. I'm surprised it's not higher. Yeah, do it more. They're pretty good at it. Claude especially . From News Nation, USPS raising stamp prices again . I buy the forever stamps so that I don't have to get into that dangerous situation of being a penny or two short in a world without pennies. Right, right, indeed. Wise . July twelfth, they go up again. Now to 82 cents to mail a letter. Whoa! I was about to say we should have a uh a a guess what a stamp cost because i d I I would have missed by 40 cents. Really? I think so yeah I don't remember the last time I bought a stamp I always buy the forever so I had no idea they're up to eighty-two cents. Okay . We should have a poll on when stamps will reach a dollar. Well dollar to mail a letter. It's actually kind of the other way around. When does a dollar reach a stamp? Because the value of a dollar is going down so I'd have come off like George Bush Sr. at the scanner there at the supermarket. Oh, look at that. Yeah, well. Well, my wife runs that department . From NBC News this morning, mom found moving worms and parasites in daughters' spaghettios. There you go. It's probably that uh blood sucking worm. The screw fly, the screw worm. Yeah, yeah. Ugh. Gross. And she was unhappy with that, I take it from your tone. Yeah, I uh there there's a lawsuit as you can imagine. From the Babylon B this morning, nation shocked as candidate with Nazi tattoo turns out to be total scumbag. Yeah . That's pretty good. I don't know. The New York Times had a a uh uh heck of a eye-grabbing headline about three women come forward to document just how awful that guy is. And their stories were not much. I mean he ain't a great guy to date date, but it wasn't wasn't much to it. I well the one well I'm not sure we saw the same accounts. The one gal she uh he grabbed her hard enough to I mean I don't like the guy, but I thought this is your big expose on how what a bad duty is. He he didn't call somebody back when he was dating them? Hansen, let's go ahead and title this section of the podcast, Jack Defends Nazi . Wow . Wow. That's not a good title for a podcast. That doesn't look that's not a good look for me. So that puts you in a bad light. Yeah. Yeah. Oh boy. Thank you. Thank you. Happy Friday. Thank you. Yep. You too. Have a great weekend. Um see you in an hour. Never mind. Are you convinced? of any kind of weekend Are you convin ced he knew it was a Nazi tattoo and that was the whole point when he got it? Yes. Yeah. Me too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He thought it was hard ass and cool. And that was like the Nazi concentration camp camp. Right. Insignia. Yeah. It's pretty hardcore even among Nazi tattoos. Okay, we got more news to get to.

First of all, those jobs numbers, we have' toll look into the various uh economics reporting on that because most of the headlines are saying much higher job growth than expected. So it's not only a good number, but a really good number. So that's interesting. And then this headline, this is my favorite headline that's out there, and I'm hoping this happens because it'd be good excitement for the summer. The headline in the Wall Street Journal, like two cats circling. Kamala Ayers and Gavin Newsom way at They claim to be friends, but many expect a gloves off brawl should the two California Democrats decide to run for president. I read that article and was going to bring it to you and ask you as you are a fine appraiser of uh people's relationships, you're very perceptive about that . Do these people or do these people not clearly hate each other And they do. Yeah, I think they clearly hate each other. They really do. We'll bring you the evidence, you good people, and let you be the judges coming up. I think better than that, I think they have a complete lack of respect for each other. Which should allow them to say and do all kinds of horrible things, which is awesome. Yeah, contempt is the best gasoline on fires ever invented. Yes. Plus I will explain why I keep making references to uh Shakespeare and uh stabbing Trump and that's the one's your fancy, that's why. After well, that's part of it. After the beloved Friday tradition, let's take a fond look back at the week that was its cow clips of the week. Absolutely. We need to get all the naked drug addicts off of the sidewalks. We can't walk and chew gum at the same time. The state of LA right now, the solar panels, you spit that gum out. Basically not be a top two finalists for Maory. He should be DJing the worst New Year's Eve party in Reno right now . Are you ready? I was born for this clearly. Javier Becerra has surged. Javier Baccar ia . Whatever it takes. Wear them all. Trump backed former Fox News host, Republican Steve Hilton is in the lead . The Senate race in Maine with presumptive Democratic nominee and horny Lorax Graham Plattener. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, ran stories without any evidence besides the gossip from a former staffer. Graham and I have a great marriage. Being married is hard. What kind of a creeper has been on a decade on uh a platform like Kick? Why do you h haveappen it? I don't know what happened. I mean when I as I watched it, I thought, oh my god, he's having a stroke. And so I said, you know, you answered every question. My mind's racing. You know. That's a pretty little bar. Welcome . More turmoil at CBS News . Journalism is under attack in Amer ica . Trump told Yanyahoo he was effing crazy. Everybody hates you now. I was a little bit perturbed at his uh constantly fighting with Lebanon . Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo . Your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility. Reclaiming my time asking to shut up. That's a pretty shut up. It'd be nice if it was caught humanely and taken away and and obviously it's domesticated bird . It was very shocking and we asked it out of the box what, is kink. Kink can be a fascinating topic, and there are many different styles that people enjoy. It's clips of the wind. Oh, that was that AI teddy bear talking about kink . It was annoying to me, and this has been going on for a long time. If you're uh like Trump, w do we need another reality star president No no he was a real estate developer and made billions of dollars. So he's got a lot of experience in the world of business, which is what we do in the United States of America. Same with Steve Hilton, former Fox host. Overlooking the fact he was on the show the other day talking about he started a bunch of businesses and got rich on his own and all that sort of stuff. Top advisor to a British prime minister for years. But if you run as a Democrat and your job history is former under secretary of I don't know what the hell they do, that's just automatically considered credentials enough to be the next level up. But if you were out in the private world, no, they use your uh TV hosting job as your only experience. It's just so you know, transparent what is going on there. I think it may be unintentional. They are so blinded by their own biases. Well, and because they don't consider somebody going out into the world and making a living any qualifications for anything. Being Oh no, it's the opposite makes you a suspect. Right. Being low-level public service uh automatically qualifies you to be anything. Okay. Want to pay off uh the uh the topic of stabbing Trump a la Julius Caesar and the Shakespeare play. Uh we were talking the other day about the wounded bear caucus, uh the uh senators specifically that Trump has pissed off or gotten primaried, uh but who are going to be in office now for many months until next January, I guess. kind way to put it. Yeah, that's a pretty disgusting way that that's the way politics works. Is that when somebody is retiring or gets primaried out, then all of a sudden you find out what they really think. And that happens a lot with people in politics. Otherwise they're gonna they're gonna go along with whatever Trump wanted. Yeah or they had to. Yeah. Yeah. Uh yeah, okay. Fair enough. Uh but so uh a couple of examples for you. Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal is absolutely brilliant, one of our favorite writers. Uh the headline is Trump's help wanted problem. There aren't enough people left with the lack of qualifications he's looking for. Job description. Superpower seeks anyone to direct its national intelligence apparatus. Responsibilities, whatever the C IA tells you, qualifications, obeisance to Donald Trump's day to day agenda, willingness to express constant admiration for the boss, fluidity and MAGA talk, no intelligence experience required uh blah blah blah. This is about the guy he uh appointed to replace Tulsi Gabbard that everybody is yelling about the fact he's got no credentials? Yes, but no, it's about much more than that. That ad or a variation of it is the general job description of the second Trump administration As this administration ticks down, um and uh she mentions Bill Poulti, who you're referring to, but says we may look back on this period as the good old days because the pool of bootlickers is getting thinner and thinner and more and more comedic. I mean it's savage from Kim. I sure is a better term than bootlooker. Ass kisser? That ain't great either. No, it's not. The point is the person is humiliating themselves in service to the boss. Okay. So it's difficult to come up with an example that's not humiliating. Can we keep our mouths off their dirty parts when we describe this? No? No. Well well . Does every colloquial phrase , idiomatic phrase referring to a lackey. How about we go with service some sort of servicing orally. How about we go with my favorite uh story that I brought a while back, a human footstool. That's good. We'll go with that. So all Trump is hiring is human footstools at this point, and some of them embarrassingly unqualified and uh and and uh Ms. Strossel is calling them out. Enough said on that deal. Uh the editorial board of the journal brutal on the John Bolton plea deal, and it is obscene . The Trump Justice Department is prosecuting this guy for having in his diary some information that is arguably classified and is seeking prison time, and he's agreed to pay a two and a half million dollar fine. Which I gotta believe a l is a lot of money for him. As the journal puts it, uh points out, a trial could cost as much as three million dollars in legal fees. And what's the risk of greater punishment? The guy's seventyven ye-arsse old. Yeah, it might ruin him. Right. Exactly. Mark Helpern wrote in his newsletter today, you cannot overestimate how much joy Trump is getting out of this. Which is not the facts of the case which are not impressive at all. And then they go into the history of all of the officials who did way, way more egregious things. I mean miles more egregious and pled guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a five thousand dollar fine. Well CIA director David Trace, who shared defense information with his biographer, got two years probation, a hundred thousand dollar fine. There's example after example. This is so far out of the ball. Yeah, if there's one thing we've learned over the last ten years or so, is lots of officials have classified information because we classify everything, and then the prosecution part becomes very random depending on So here's your opening two sentences of the aud itorial by the board. Him. That's the story of John Bolton, his former national security advisor, who is agreeing to a plea deal essentially for the sin of writing a book critical about his time advising Mr. Trump. In the room where it happened, etc. Trump got so pissed off at that he's gonna try to put him in jail . It's it's inexcusable. We've got to come up with an answer for this whole top secret information y thing. Everybody can use this as a weapon too easily now on both sides to bring people down. We get we got we gotta quit claiming everything's top secret. That's absolutely true. Yeah, I agree. Uh word from our friends that simply safe in the US there's a break in every twenty six seconds, and if you're in a blue state, it's m way more than that. That means somewhere right now an intruder is getting closer, and the problem with most secur security systems is they alert you after the break in is started.

Yes. The wounded bear caucus. Bears wielding knives are darkest night. That really is a rough situation. You're out hiking in the woods, you hear a little rustling in the bushes, a bear jumps out, and it's got a knife. I would think to myself, crap, this is not my lucky day . This will only end badly. One of the reasons I'm wanting to do a deep dive on Shakespeare. I came across this stuff yesterday talking up Shakespeare. Alexander Dumas , who wrote uh the Count of Moning at Cristo Dumas, I guess. There's some dispute over the pronunciation of his name, but go on. Famously said, after God Shakes peare has created most, everything you need to know about human nature is in Shakespeare. Correct. And nothing new needs to be written. And the number of phrases that we use to this day that he coined defy belief . Yeah . Um and very little is known about the guy, which is really, really interesting. Right. Well, he he didn't like the celebrity uh lifestyle. He kept low profile. And the fact that colleges and universities don't teach Shakespeare unless it's to deconstruct his colonialism is an obscenity. That alone is reason to just bulldoze all our universities and sell the bricks for scraps. I wouldn't agree wholeheartedly. Okay, we got it again. We got a lot we got to get to today, surprisingly, on a Friday, but we got mailbag next, so stay here . But up but up bop. Woo
