I Struggle With Accents

0:00This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. Broadcasting Live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Yeah, Armstrong and Joe Gettie. I'm strong and Gettie. And up. He is. Armstrong and Gettie. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. There you go. We are not bearing the lead. We're doing like what they do on those, a lot of those TV shows, animal attacks. And then all the promos have a really exciting animal attack. And then you watch the show and find out that's the only interesting one there. That's kind of like Trump spoke for about two hours last night.

1:01And if you like his act and his riffs, it was the normal thing throughout. But that is the punchline right there. That is they're going to give every American adult citizen $5,000 if the Republicans win. Which is a heck of a thing. I got a little analysis on that. But let's hear it couched in the whole explanation here of what's going on. Even though President Trump's name isn't on the ballot this fall, he is still in full on campaign mode right now. He spoke here for nearly two hours straight last night. I'm sorry I gave you the wrong number Michael 42. This is the full version of Trump explaining what's going on here. Here is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend

2:03to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Here is my promise. Okay, so it goes on to say explaining that the money is because of the tariffs. We got all that money sloshing around because the tariffs have been so successful that everybody's getting $5,000 back. That doesn't make sense on any level whatsoever of the way any of this works. But so JD Vance immediately went on Fox and was talking to Brett Barrett. Brett Barrett said $5,000 for every adult citizen, that's about $1.3 trillion. The critics will say, the critics will say the president is bribing voters in his bankrupting the country. JD Vance said tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The president is saying if you keep us in power, then you will share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we have created. That's where we are. Now, if you, we can discuss it in like real world, a grown up terms, like, you know, where's

3:09the money coming from and whether it's a good idea fiscally and whether whether the tariffs are actually generating revenue that's sitting in a pot somewhere that you can draw from. And then there's the also the political thing, which Mark Alperen looks at a lot and he said, Trump got what he wanted. Most of the coverage, especially in local news around the country, frames this as a straightforward presidential idea with none of the, but it'll cost $1.3 trillion, but tariff money, blah, blah, blah. It's just a flat out. Trump said that cool and other news and a lot of voters are just seeing, wow, I'm going to get $5,000 if I get out and vote Republican. So appreciate it. It's a win. I appreciate for practically the first time in the last 30 years, the drive by media's half inch deep coverage benefits for publicans. So that is novel. I was, I was going to say I'd be delighted to discuss this, but I'm going to have to work to avoid dropping a B.S.C.

4:10That is my new acronym. I will use to save time in place of that. Crazy. Yes. Golly G. I don't, I am so disillusioned. I wish I was wearing my F. Yolk and party t-shirt that I helped Hansen design for those of us who just are so disgusted with both the parties. We don't know what to do. And Joseph R. Biden, senile Delaware, was telling all of us to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. There is, there is, these are not the droids you are looking for. There is no inflation. Your economic situation is fine. We, we berated him for that. And here's Trump who just, he, he finds it impossible to explain anything more complex than, than I'm going to give you money. He blames Biden for the inflation.

5:12Okay, take 20 seconds and explain that to people, but he doesn't. I just, I've had enough. Well, like so, even the community note on Twitter, which is really pretty good, I think the community notes thing, says annual tariff revenue cannot fund a 1.3 dollar under hard payout and distributed funds requires congressional approval and the money from the tariffs actually went to blah, blah, blah. So even the, you know, we mentioned last hour, Elon has come out today and the story is he's willing to spend up the $200 million in Texas alone to make sure that Trump's win that Senate seat and hang on to the, the US Senate. So it's not like Elon's not all in on making sure the Republicans and Trump have, have a good midterm, but his, his groxus yet the whole, that just, there's, there's no, there's nothing sensible about this at all. The idea that the tariff revenues coming in and his in some sort of fund that you can then

6:16draw on and pay people out and that the president can decide to take $5,000 to give to every, says, there's none of that is doable. And then the initial promise got revised a couple of times within a couple of hours. And it's a various income levels yet. It's not for everybody. You have to be alone, $150,000 household or whatever the number is. To get that number down from 1.2 or 1.3 trillion dollars, but the president doesn't have the power to do this. All right, that's not even worth talking about really. So this is what politics all is now. It always has been to a certain extent. If the president had promised to suspend gravity every July 4th, so we could all flap our arms and fly around in celebration of our nation's birthday, it would have an equal chance of happening as this from now on. Every 4th of July in out of this great country, we will, so I will suspend gravity so that you and your children can wave your arms and float around this great nation with American

7:20flags in your hand and viewed from above every American, every adult American, every adult American less than $150,000. John did come filing separately as adult blah, blah, blah. No, I don't know. Do I need to throw in this caveat to not make some of you really, really angry? The socialists stand up there and say stuff that is absolutely completely bad. It's crazy. All indewible. In more drifts of trillions of dollars of ridiculous promises. Yeah, they just make no sense whatsoever, but I don't know. You know, we ought to give a little credit to that side of the conversation. There are a couple of notable things that happen. Number one, absolutely flogging the Democratic Party for going socialist slash communist radical out of control, every syllable of which is true. You want to, let's hit to Tom Scott. Tom Scott. Yes.

8:20Yeah, go ahead. 52, Michael. The only way to keep dangerous radical, weird out of the Senate is the United Republican Party. Standing with our president, Donald J. Trump. Stand for the president. Donald J. Trump. This is a battle for us part of our nation. I send the heart of our nation. The Democrats, extreme candidates won't rip that heart out of our chest. They hate our culture. They hate what it needs to be American. Hear me, Dallas. Not on our watch. We will not back down. We will not grow weary. So much yelling. Are you with me? I suspect from the previous reaction.

9:23Are you with me? They are indeed with you, sir. Yes. And then as long as we're playing Tim Scott, Hanson really won this to play 53. James Tolerigo claims there are six genders. He believes God is non-binary. He believes God needs special world pronouns. But Texas, we know who God is. We're talking about Jesus. Tolerigo has walked back the six genders thing saying he misspoke. Yes, the Spanburger technique they're calling it in honor of the new governor, Virginia who ran as a moderate and then immediately governed as a far lefty. All of these folks are scrubbing their social media. They're saying my comments missed the mark. Little kids ought to be castrated.

10:24Saying that is not missing the mark. It's repugnant. So yeah, they're trying to pretend they're something they're not. He is everything that's claimed. I'm stealing from a Jonah Goldberg here who I think has Trump, Drankment Syndrome actually. He said Trump's $5,000 gambit reminds him of HL Minkins quote about Truman, which you probably know because you're a big HL Minkin fan. If there had been any formidable body of cannibals in the country, he would have promised to provide them with free missionaries fattened at the taxpayers expense. But anyway, so here's one of my favorite economists, conservative economists saying the claim that federal budget is so overrun with surplus cash that Washington can afford to spend $1.3 trillion on rebates is so detached from reality that I refuse to waste my time walking you through the math. If it makes sense to you, you're beyond that. I agree.

11:25It's just we were living in fantasy land with the whole money thing. Probably do us ourselves no favors as a radio show trying to make money and have listeners and talking about it because nobody's interested. Looking at quote from Steve Hayes of the dispatch, quoting their recent piece about the parties and the debt, there is no denying that the country no longer has a major political party devoted to limiting the size and scope of government. It just doesn't exist. And so if you're hammering that, you're just, I don't know who your constituency is. I don't know who our constituency is for your hammering, limiting the size and scope of government. Right. Those of you and a number of people have pointed out, man, this thing pales as promises go to President Otto Penn, promising to pay off Gen Z's student loans. Absolutely. Absolutely. That should be. Which we blasted endlessly because it was also ridiculous. It is ridiculous. All right. There's one surprise at the gathering hit 51 for us, Michael.

12:27The big, warm welcome Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator Jack Federman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat. I am, I hear talking to you today because, well, I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that anti-American way of life. A lot of talk about what Federman's up to to be the guy to introduce the president at the big rally. I mean, he's already polling at like 16 percent among Democrats in Pennsylvania who put him in office. Is he going to switch parties before the next election? He says he's not absolutely going to go independent. Does he just not care that he won't get reelected? I think he gives zero poops. I think he's going to try to get as much done and speak as much truth as he can and then go off into the wilderness. He votes with Democrats 75 percent of the time, just not on the crazy stuff or the anti-Israel stuff.

13:28Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, I think we're going to have to take a brief break and to be back with more fascinating intromation. But first, we're from our friends at blue collar dollar financial planning. It's got kind of a suit and tie feel to it, doesn't it?

Patients being prompted by not only selfies that they change with filters, but also with AI snapchat this morpheia patients just continue getting surgery and never are totally satisfied with that happens. But unfortunately they're coming with images in their minds and they present images to us in consultation that not accomplishable. So it introduces unrealistic expectations. I struggle with accents. That's a doctor saying that patients have unrealistic expectations due to AI and filters. They come in and think I make me look like this and you say that you can't actually do that. That's a it's an AI filter. Right. Right. We're going to talk AI in our three and that huge story from yesterday about the fact that they're having conversations at the biggest AI corporations on planet earth about

15:31how it's going to kill all of humanity and kind of yada yada yada anyway. What? Also in sports news. Yeah. A couple of AI heavyweight said, yeah, I agree. And the handful said that's nuts. So we'll hit that next hour. Our kind of tech thing is the big Apple thing was yesterday and then veiled their first big new product in like over a decade. The big fold foldable phone and and I've seen people's other foldable phones just looked way cooler than that and the things it can do. And I watched a bunch of the reviews and stuff like that. I'd like to have one $2,000 is a lot for a phone. I don't know could they make a case for it? That's one of my concerns because I'm not going to have a $2,000 phone without a case. But I was trying to picture how the case work on that since he got a screen here and there and there and there. I just don't know how we can put a man on the moon. Surely we can invent a foldy case. Yeah. I believe they do have cases as watching a video. They do. Yeah.

16:31Cool. I want one of those. But one of the reasons it's so expensive is not just a it's foldable and new tech. As we know is we had to buy some new computers when we finally get on YouTube, which is still happening by in these cameras and computers stuff like that. I'm going to that doctor. We just quoted for plastic surgery. I got to get healed before we go on YouTube. My turn to Michael Jackson knows didn't come out quite right. So I'm having a redo revision. When I'm getting horns like a lot of the hipsters get this is a weird show. Everybody weird looking at these guys. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Joe's upturned knows me with the horns. Hey, so I have to tell you about this new iPhone. So when you open it, Joe, I think you're going to love this. You can have two apps open at once. So like let's say you like select a restaurant you would like to go to. You click the directions and then the directions open up on the other side of the screen and shows you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I need this. I'm I'm feet finder. I'm on it. Oh, that's it.

17:32Katie's going to generate a little spend in cash. Right. Posting a lot of photos of her. Yeah. Oh, you'll step on cake. Now you got my attention. Yeah. I like cake. I like that it went. They went with Matt finish kind of like the Kindle paper thing that I've got. So it looks like more of like paper, not shiny as opposed to the glass. Anyway, I'm old too. They say, but why so expensive? The cost of memory. That's why that's part of the reason they did it, Katie. Oh, the cost of memory and storage chips has quintupled since last fall. Quintupled. The cost of those chips and that's why the phones are so much more expensive now. All computers are if you haven't shopped for them yet. Are strong and getty. Basically back to school time and right now a lot of college kids are meeting their freshman roommates for the first time. And there's some signs in whether you have a good college roommate or a bad one. We have some examples right here. For instance, you have a good college roommate if they bought a mini fridge. You have a bad college roommate if it's just filled with jars, Mark, clean urine.

18:36What do you mean? That's not good. Next up, you have a good college roommate if you're woken up by the gentle sound of their alarm. You have a bad college roommate if you're woken up by a gentle kiss in your form. I'm sure I went on in that style. My junior high school son got a mini fridge. Friend gave it to him for some reason. Anyway, he is loving that lifestyle so much. Having a few things in his fridge by his bed. He just feels like the king of the world. That's funny. So coming up a group of bikini baristas, one of big legal settlement in the Seattle area, a victory not just for those gals, but for underclad beverage sales people everywhere. So we'll bring you the details on that one. So speaking of education, as Jimmy Fallon was, and this, this believe it or not, we'll end with at least partially good news, partially.

19:38You heard the story earlier in the week. We brought it to you. It was all over the news. Even the New York Times hammered it that the reading scores of American 15 year olds have fallen sharply since 2022 and are near the lowest point in 25 years. Math scores equally miserable. I found this interesting. The New York Post talking about back to school time in New York City and the how the abysmal scores in New York City have been met by the New York education establishment, changing the standards and then putting it because of course that's what you do. If students don't meet standards, you change the standard and then they put out their big education plan. And I'd love to read this whole thing to you because it's really good writing. But they barely mention reading or math. I think there's one mention of the word. There's a token mention of rigorous academics or something, but then it doesn't really mention reading and math at all.

20:39But ideology is everywhere in this document. Buzzwords like CRT, DEI, culturally responsive sustaining education, social emotional learning, diversity, equity, justice, restorative, marginalized identity, bias, inequality and their ilk still flood the mission statements, pages and links. It's all over the site. Without the words reading or mathematics. Correct. Yeah. Then I mentioned this briefly yesterday, the number of New Yorkers, again, New York, but I think you can extrapolate to a lot of places around America, particularly blue places. The number of kids being homeschooled is tripled in 15 years. Triple. I've had those emails from the public school before and this year we have the most diverse class. Yeah, what are you going to teach him? That's what I'm interested in. Yeah, I don't care about that sort of stuff. All of your stuff. That's not supposed to be your job. Right. Right. I don't even think you ought to pay attention to it. Please see our segment yesterday about, well, I can't remember Antonio Gramsky, the

21:44Marxist thinker, the Italian who's really the most important intellectual in terms of his effectiveness of the 20th century, he came up with the idea of the long march through the institutions. We need to take over education first and teach this stuff. Then we'll change the culture. The kids won't know anything but what we teach them and then we can win. And again, we talked about that at length. I think it was our three of the show yesterday. I'm strong in getting on demand, grab the podcast, trust me, it's worth it. But anyway, I was renting and raving a couple of weeks ago about the so-called Mississippi miracle and it's not a miracle, but that's a good name for it. The state of Mississippi has gone from the laughing stock in American education to skyrocketing results. Anybody with a conscience in education is riveted by what Mississippi's been doing.

22:46And what they're doing very, very briefly is they're eliminating all the crap. There as we're about to get into the focusing on reading, writing and math, phonics, no experimental, new age crap phonics. And if kids can't read at the end of third grade, they're held back period. This kid's going to learn to read before he leaves before she leaves this school is their vow in Mississippi and it's working like crazy. So one of my kids mentioned the other day was shocked at how many other kids can't read very well at this point. At what age? I don't want to say because I don't want to nail down the school. All right, but it's not second grade. No, it is teenager years. Okay, fair enough. So I was very intrigued to see the Wall Street Journal publishing a piece by Rachel Cantor today. She is the director of education policy for reinventing America's schools project at the

23:48progressive policy institute and the founder of Mississippi, first an advocate for education initiative in Mississippi. She's one of the people at the very center of this turnaround. So I thought, oh, great, what does Rachel have to say? And she says, for the past year, my phone hasn't stopped ringing from callers wanting to learn more about how Mississippi improved its public schools frustrated by sagging, reading and mass scores, educators, advocates, lawmakers around the country are curious about reforms that transform, transform Mississippi from a national punchline into a leader in reading and math proficiency policies I spent much of my career championing. Here's where it turns a little folks. Democrats, however, don't often ask me how to replicate Mississippi's success. They ask me if it's possible at all, given the power of teachers unions in their home states. As one audience member skeptically asked me at a recent panel discussion, you've done your work in a red state. Do you really think blue states can do this? Wow. My answer is unequivocally yes, even if blue state politics may make Mississippi style reforms

24:51harder to pass. Now that statement should second you. If it doesn't second you, you should take a moment or two and contemplate it so you're good and second. Welcome to the Armstrong and Gettyshow, where you walk away second. Seriously, and you've got to confront this fact and I'm going to paraphrase it, but the iron law of bureaucracy states that over time every bureaucracy, which starts with people dedicated to accomplish a purpose, accomplishing a purpose, will slowly evolve and gain more and more people who are dedicated to protecting the bureaucracy until in its fairly endish stage, the bureaucracy just exists for its own sake and its own self protection. That's American government schools, that's American education. It is a jobs program that kind of tangentially teaches kids some stuff, although according to the fondest dreams of Gramske, it's now teaching them mostly to hate their own country

25:52and socialism. But she goes on, if helping kids to read and do math at grade level is the goal. The evidence shows that what we've been doing in schools across the country for the last 12 years or so has not worked. Children have lost so much ground, they not only know less than their counterparts did a decade ago. Older children know as little as they have this century. And she goes into the very test scores that we were discussing earlier and they're abysmal. And she points out that decline did not start with COVID. The pandemic was simply quote, the mudslide that followed seven years of erosion in student achievement. That's good metaphor. I hate that people are getting away with blaming this on COVID because they're not looking at the long term directional direction of the graph. Mm-hmm. Yeah. For years now she writes, the education world has been fascinated by the story of how Mississippi tackled our literacy problem by ensuring teachers applied the science of reading. The set of principles and practices brought to prominence by the National Reenigbattles

26:562000 report, 26 blank in years ago, friends that called on educators to teach phonics again to help children systematically match letters to sounds and supplement that learning with background knowledge and vocabulary to aid comprehension. And then Mississippi passed a literacy basic promotion act which required children scoring in the lowest level of reading performance to be held back at the end of third grade. And the state began offering teachers and school administrators training and required training and coaching for the lowest performing elementary schools. And what they found was nobody wants the kids to be held back. Nobody's happy about that. Well, what they found was that the kids and the parents and the teachers and the community and everybody became focused on not changing the standards, but reaching the goal. You've got to have these kids read what do we have to do? And they answered the problem and they solved it. Only thing holding that back from your school in your blue state, your blue city is politics

28:01in the teachers unions. I state that without fear of contradiction. I can understand how as a kid, I was never held back, but I knew kids it were and it would be horribly embarrassing. And then as a parent, it would be rough. I'd be so worried about my kid and how he's feeling everything like that. But is that worse than moving them along when they can't read or better? I mean, because allowing them to move on, not read to avoid those other bad things I mentioned. It was bad. S crazy, which brings up another one of their policies and I'll illustrated by illustrating the opposite first. A parent I know who may want to remain nameless in a blue-ish area is told repeatedly that their kid was doing fine and up to grade level when that child was not doing fine and not near grade level. Mississippi is doing the opposite of that.

29:02Hey, your kid is really struggling to read. We're going to have to hold him back at the end of third grade. Here's how he scored. Here's how we'd like to address it. When you help us mom, dad and the reaction has been extremely positive because of course it is people love their children. Unless they're, you know, morons or moral reprobates themselves, they're like, yes, I'm in. What do we do? Oh my God, it's so fixable. What has been fixed, the example is out there in our laboratories of democracy that we have around the country. That's the advantage of having the states the way we do. It's been done. So we don't have to wonder anymore. What's super bonus frustrating and there's no point in dwelling on the frustration. You got to look for solutions. But what's a double bonus frustrating is that this exciting new way is precisely the way it's been done for, you know, 75 years prior to the current woke takeover of schools and universities. It's a return to basics and a return to phonics and a return to responsibility and a return

30:05to these standards don't get altered just because you're failing at them. Anyway, end of rant. Look forward to our AI conversation based on the explosive story that came out yesterday from basically a whistleblower who quit his job to be a whistleblower. Right? I'm more importantly, does showing a little butchieck mean you don't deserve a living wage? I say no, the story of the Bucks and Baristas coming up and I'm going to buy some bagpipes which I've been threatening to do for years but I'm going to do it. That is a threat. That's exactly what that is. I've done some research on this. Oh boy. But stay tuned for all that. It's all coming up. Art is strong and getting. Right on cashiers allowed to sit down while they're working. Like why do they have to stand on their two feet the whole time just to scan some items and collect cash? Like why is Audi the only store that allows their employees to sit down while they're

31:10completing transactions? There's no part of scanning items and collecting cash that requires you to stand or to to the whole shift. That's a decent question. Why do because most people sit to do that kind of work type into a computer or whatever? Why do cashiers have to stand? Make it optional. There's no good reason for that. Get a stool. Sure. It can be a high stool. You can look people in the eye and not get the varicose veins. I don't know. But I'm sick. I'm going to march on the picket line. Trump should mention that before the midterms free stools for all the cashiers. My final note on the education thing was that they did a couple of different studies and found a direct correlation or an inverse correlation I guess between the strength of teachers unions and how many of these reform measures had been adopted in various schools, various states. That's not surprising in the least. It is shocking and terrible. All right, speaking of cashiers and that sort of people, it's getting a lot of attention

32:14because it's hot chicks and bikinis, but a group of bikini baristas, one nearly $2 million in illegal. Two million. Yeah, the, it's a years long battle over pay violations. I feel like we've been talking about this for 15 years. It's been going on for a long time. Yeah. Most of the pay violations occurred at coffee stands operating under the brand name B hive espresso. But anyway, the coffee stands with bikini baristas who wear bikinis or lingerie while making coffee are popular across Washington. It's weird, isn't it? It's odd that Washington, such a blue state would be like the world's leader in hot chicks dispensing beverages, scantly, clad hot chips, chick. But the guy who ran these stands, the Ellen table, he was ripping these girls off, he was groping them, he was filming them, changing, demanding sex acts for promotions. It's a monster. It's a story about a horrible employer. And I don't want to generalize. But the fact that anybody would put up with any of this for more than like a day and a

33:16half makes me think that young, cumly women who are willing to make their living wearing tiny bikinis and slinging caffeine, maybe don't have a ton of options. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Um, what, what, why were we originally talking about the bikini breezes? What was the original lawsuit? Was it free speech fang or a, what was a pay thing as I recall? They're being paid less than minimum wage because they got tips, but then he would confiscate the tips. No, no, no, I know that happened, but there was some giant thing around the bikini breezes, one of the, one of the drive through people attacked a barista and she jumped through the window and beat the ever living hell out of them. There was that story too, but there was also some, somebody was complaining and it was whether or not they're allowed to dress that way and what they're allowed to dance. The zoning, that's what it was like. Right. Is it sex or is it a coffee shop? Yeah, something like that.

34:17And it, it was like a big gorg case. It went a long way. Take it up with hooters. And uh, right. I think it was part, I think of our argument at the time and then there was if you don't want to see that, don't get your coffee there. And as we always point out, hooters is utterly un-unique amongst sports bars. Yeah. So we got a number of texts referring to me mentioning that I, uh, I'm going to buy some bagpipes, including if Jack buys bagpipes, the Christmas episode is going to be lit this year. That's right. Uh, that's a good point, friend. So we were, where were we? We were in, uh, Victoria, Canada, little town on the island of Vancouver Island, beautiful little English town, um, very English town. And, um, there was a guy playing bagpipes and I said to my son, I said, I think I could do that. I, you always hear the, every, every song either sounds the same or they play the same song. I don't know what it is. But it just, I think there's not, I think the main thing to playing the bagpipes is owning bagpipes.

35:18I think that's what it is. And I'm going to prove that I'm going to get some bagpipes. I'm going to learn that. I'm going to learn that. I'm going to learn that. I'm going to learn that soon. Yeah. Which I could just get a donkey. Which I think what I think, which will take me a weekend and then I'll say that. Which will take me like a weekend to learn, I think, no offense to bagpipes players. And then anytime there's any, I'm going to buy a kilton, the socks and then I'll do whatever festival is going on where you need to bagpipe player from here on out. Because I think I can play that too. Good luck. I bet the practicing is awful to listen to. Who cares? Hey, I was going to kill us all next hour. Stay with us. Armstrong and Getty.
