You're Really Steering Into The Hick Talk

0:00This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radial Studio The George Washington Broadcast Center Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty I'm Strong and Getty And up He Armstrong and Getty Live from Studio C Seize and your We are in a dimly lit room deep within the bowels Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound And today on Little Wednesday We are under the two-legs of Oh, this is the title of the show today Ogo Offer of the Day Islamianism I One Get One Greatest threat to America Right there Islamianism I will make the case Alternate title

1:00Sing in the Choke Point Blues I told you yesterday Don't snooze on the Straits of Hormuz Right So what's that first one It's a long thing Yeah, it's a Confluence of several different stories From the Isis inspired and trained Young men in New York City throwing explosive devices And then Mamdani And not identifying the cause of their violence And there was a demonstration over the weekend In New York City In memory of the martyr Ayatollah Hamani And all the other victims of American aggression Right out there in the open In the United States of America Pretty well attended cops had to break it up There are hundreds of people Chanting death to America And that sort of thing And you are freaking straight Yes and Wow the final factor

2:00Which I can tell you're already there Is the desperate soft pedaling Of all these stories By most of the American media God I'd say They are terrified of this narrative It goes against all of their Vassar College Columbia grad school training To say it out loud So those dudes who through the bombs there Over the weekend Outside of Mamdani's office They were actually trained by ISIS They have both of them Have an extremely suspicious history Of travel over the last couple of years Going to the places you go To get trained up by ISIS Various locations throughout the Middle East One of the reasons I find that surprising Is those bombs were crap I mean what kind of training did they get Well they didn't go off According to the authorities as a miracle Nobody was hurt or killed But they were hoping for something bigger Than the Boston bombing and their bombs didn't do nothing So that's good I guess No occasionally prosecutors Will overstate things but

3:00Yeah they made clear that it was A miracle nobody was killed It's possible these guys are morons Yeah I think they might be morons But I mean if you've seen the video Of the one guy throwing the bomb And then running and jumping over the fence And like being tackled by the security guy Yeah, there's also a video There was a guy with a big megaphone And he was yelling pro-Islamic messaging And one of the kids with the bomb jumped over his shoulder And threw it into the crowd Yeah They didn't seem sophisticated But lots of people get blown over shot By unsophisticated morons That's all just as dead right My main reaction is seeing the video Of him chucking the bomb and leaping over the barricades And trying to look at the cops was I remember what I could do that I would just say yeah You get there's no point in me running I would just be tired when you arrested me So here what hands me on the back Is that the way this works?

4:00So imagine if those had gone off And even anybody had been killed What a story that would be What that'd be doing to our politics And how hard journalists would have to work To obscure what sort of person Through the bombs for what reason They would be exhausted by the effort Still the coverage is a little Unless you know the story It's a little confusing when you hear most of the coverage When they talk about They don't talk about Violence broke out at an anti-Islam right Exactly Which is technically true Which is the key to all spin Things that are technically true But designed to mislead And that misleads Because it wasn't the anti-Islam crowd The pro-Islam crowd The counter protest that brought bombs That's worth pointing out And look I would hope at this point Especially you know Long time listeners understand And I'll speak for myself here I'm not paranoid or prone to Like really fanciful ideas

5:00Kind of the opposite And I've been studying political systems How they rise and fall and function Since I was a teenager And this is a significant Political movement inside the United States The red green alliance, the melding of Marxism And Islamism It's got a long history Both in Iran interestingly enough And in the United States And they are really feeling their oats They're working hard together They've energized the college campuses This is the sort of thing That you read in the history books About either the fall of regime Or the coming of long periods of violence Or something that had to be dealt with To ensure regime's survival And I hate to refer to the Constitution As the United States of America As a regime, but you know what I'm talking about This is serious I'm not trying to be hyperbolic So I was seeing some people

6:00Criticizing CNN's headline on this story today Or the way they wrote the story Two Pennsylvania teenagers Crossed into New York City Saturday morning What for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city During abnormally warm weather But in less than an hour their lives would drastically change As the pair would be arrested For throwing homemade bombs outside of the mayor's home What the f? Finally drawing this What? Like kind of interesting What an interesting story here Why don't you say they could have gone to Central Park and fed ducks But their day took a turn They went to New York to throw bombs at people in the name of Allah A couple of chairs A couple of chairs Oh my lord I almost dropped an F bomb and I wish I had And that's something Holy crap That's one of the most extraordinary things I've ever heard What the hell? Framing them as some like it's something that happened to them They're hoping to get tickets to Hamilton But instead their day took a turn

7:02Lot of comments like am I the only one getting the feeling CNN And somehow trying to romanticize this story Yeah More accurately To adult radicalized Islamic terrorists Who had previously trained with ISIS Through bombs at peaceful protesters That's a better first sentence or two Oh that's entirely accurate Good lord I mean this is you know Look CNN ain't very popular these days Although we got a great note From one of our favorite emailers pointing out That these like CNN And MSNBC I refuse to call it It's stupid new name That's a good stance Die on that hill They are watched by The intelligentsia and the capital And so they have like echoey second effect Importance Yeah That is true So anyway I'm sorry I buried my own point So CNN working that hard to deny Islamism

8:06In the US and its effects And its radicalization How widespread it's becoming That is a serious issue Yeah Let's start to show officially Because Pete Hegseth just wrapped up a press conference And there's a couple of interesting notes I'm Jack Armstrong He's Joe Getty on this it is It's Tuesday It is March the 10th for your 2026 war Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program Okay here we go Virtually according to FCC rules and regulations Leaping into action at mark No I don't want to brag But you know they said this about a lot of things No other president can do some of these s**t I'm doing No other president I don't want to brag Funny thing from Donald Trump S**t So two things one dimension real quick Iran fired rockets or missiles At Turkey again And they were intercepted by NATO planes But man if they ever get something Through to Turkey

9:06And then Erdogan the dictator of Turkey Threatened Iran saying We are not the old Turkey You better knock it off So and that was before These rockets got sent today So I don't know what that means If Turkey is going to say You know sending their own planes They don't they don't have to put up with that No obligation To put up with that Outside of NATO planes shooting that stuff down Also Pete Hegseth just said This is going to be the biggest day of bombing yet Today is going to be the biggest day of bombing Yeah I know the plan is to further dismantle the security apparatus If they can Well Iran basically has no military at this point Fifty according to Pete Just a few minutes ago We've sunk completely destroyed 50 Plots of their ships and their navy Fifty Yeah They still got guys with guns Which you know from our perspective Their military is gone, it's decimated mostly From the perspective of regime change

10:06Or the people of the country It's still plenty lethal Yeah decimated is actually It gets thrown around like it's not a term of art But it is it's Or it originally was as a military term Desi as in a tenth of or ten Ten times Once you get the military down to a tenth of its strength No longer can do anything to you So it's decimated but Can do something to its own people Certainly like you said A tenth of an army can do a lot of harm to unarmed civilians Oh hell yeah Yeah ask the 20, 30, 40,000 Who are In heaven or hell right now Wishing they'd waited a little while This demonstrates terrible This is going to be the most intense bombing today Holy crap Apparently they're not running out of targets They said they have many more targets to go Let's do it Yeah let's do it Here we got Katie's headlines on the way Stay here Armstrong and Getty

11:06How could today be the biggest day of bombing yet By the way, who knew there was a government shutdown still going on Yeah, DHS of all departments As we've got terrorists chucking bombs And threat from Iran Come on now Come on Alright let's figure out who's reporting what It's the lead story with Katie Green, Katie Alright starting with Fox News Hegset says Russia should not be involved in Iran Says Trump had a good call with Putin NBC Trump says Iran war will end soon But issues threats that could prolong it And CNN Russian starts to panic Over rapidly rising oil costs Due to Iran conflict Yeah, which I think is why he went out Yes it is We've mostly done everything we need to do And oil immediately dropped Based on that So I think that was the point of the press conference Yeah I think panic might be a little bit strong Everybody knew that this conflict would cause the rise in oil prices Benjamin Netanyahu might be panicking over the idea You're going to call it good

12:06I thought we were going to you know what we talked about No From the Washington Post Spring Break Travel Maybe chaos Due to what you guys were just talking about The shutdown causing TSA shortages Yeah Did you see any of the coverage of the lines at the airport That's not good That's going to hit people where they hurt An old chucky schumer better recalculate But quick, I'm glad I ain't going nowhere From the New York Times Anthropic sues the Pentagon Over quote Supply chain risk label Oh yeah, that whole dispute rages on New York Post Yamaha pulling out of California After a half a century Headquarters headed to Georgia Yeah, following a lot of companies and people From the Wall Street Journal Trump is obsessed with these $145 shoes

13:06And won't let anyone leave without a pair What are they? Yeah, I saw that They're floor-shime shoes He just absolutely loves them So he sizes up your feet You're in the Oval Office He says, what are you about a ten? Ten and a half? I got some shoes for you And he'll order them for him pay for him The funny thing is everybody in the inner circle And like one circle outside it Is terrified to come to work not wearing those shoes Sure, because you'll notice Oh, you didn't like the floor-shime? Oh no, I loved them, I just decided to go with some of those shoes I spent $300 on Yeah, a female White House official said it's hysterical Because everyone's afraid not to wear them Love that This one also from the New York Post Jack Hughes reveals plan to get famous Olympic teeth fixed But is also worried his fans will be pissed

14:06That's what I was saying What, like the next day is agents gonna say Dude, you're keeping your gap for a while Right, that's your brand It's really big, people know who you are Yeah This one from Study Files I like to eat, he says Girls, and I look like a hobo This one from Study Files Taking a daily multivitamin Might help slow how fast you age That's what I'm trying to do The back and forth on daily vitamins It's like the back and forth on coffee I take one, right? I don't care what you think I don't care what the latest study says Move on And finally, this one from the Babylon B Mamdani condemns New Yorkers for making Muslims throw bombs at them Oh, that's good That is really good That's pretty accurate That is often the tone of things And among the other factors I'd like to discuss His wife, who he made loud noises the other day

15:06Is not a public figure His wife tweeted celebrating the October 7th Pilgrim against the Jews in Israel The rapes and the murders And the baby killings And the tortures And the sexual mutilation And the machine gunning of kids at a music festival For peace She celebrated all of that His wife Come on You know what I took from the headlines I should probably get a daily vitamin I don't take a daily vitamin Oh, don't you? Yeah, I always have I don't take nothing, so I like not taking nothing Because I ain't got nothing to remember It makes it very easy Did I take my stuff that I did because I don't take nothing Wow, wow You're really steering into the Hick talk Today You're feeling you're in a robe I appreciate that Makes it very easy to live my life It's like the bargain I can never remember Was it Pascal or somebody who said I might as well believe in God

16:06Because if there's no God it doesn't make any difference And if there is, I'm in his good graces The dumb theory Oh, sure, I'd be delighted to listen But I've always felt that way about daily vitamins Because every doctor I've ever known Has said you know, you won't do any harm And it might help Sorry, Pascal Pascal, you believe in a God that is like All-mowing, all-believing omniscient But like, wouldn't catch on to your ruse Doesn't know you're doing it on Faking it You fooled God What the hell is that I know It's a famous idea I am, the headlines are everywhere on the hole This is going to be the biggest day of bombing Yet in Iran, holy crap Anyway If that starts to unfold while we're doing this show We'll talk you more about it Trump is vowing serious consequences If Iran doesn't start letting the oil flow through Some French ships and US ships Are saying they're going to escort You know, oil tankers Through the streets of Formuz

17:06You fire on those though and you got a real big mess going No, I despise the regime in Tehran But if you don't stop that There'll be serious consequences I'm looking around and saying, more serious than this No kidding This seems pretty serious That's a good point Okay, we got more on the way Armstrong and Getty If I got this right Yes, we're smart enough to invent AI Dumb enough to need it And so stupid we can't figure out if we did the right thing Which is an interesting conundrum around the world of AI there from Jerry Seinfeld You know what? This happens to me almost every day with voice texting Maybe this is a real simpleton's view of it But I feel like AI's not going to take everybody's job As long as when I'm voice texting on GROC Or just, you know, a text or whatever And I'll, like for instance, I'll say It was really nice I was writing my motorcycle And it will hear writing my motorcycle Well, since nobody ever says I was writing my motorcycle

18:08And the history of mankind And it can't figure out out of context That I meant writing, not writing I feel like we're safe I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but until you can fix that Well, and I'm at the 200th incidence of connecting The correcting T time as if I'm going to have a crump it or two And a nice cup to T-E-E time since I'm going to have a golfer And it hasn't figured me out yet On the other hand, they would say, yeah, that's the consumer-piddly-piddly But why haven't they fixed that? AI is so... I'm a character If it's so easily used to replace I would think you could fix that You're not wrong Funny cover on the Atlantic this month, the Atlantic magazine Which I actually subscribed to Before Jeffrey Goldberg's editor in chief In Williamson, the terrific very intelligent ornary Texas conservative Before he had written a word

19:08Because his readers were so aghast that he would hire a conservative of any sort To soil the pages of the Atlantic So I'd subscribed to it before that And got the print edition, I quickly... I chose not to renew it But they've been sending it to me for free now for several years Cool, which I think, well, it'd be cool If it wasn't an obnoxious liberal rag But about what she looks sophisticated having that on your coffee table Well, I wear a tuxedo every day I don't need that, in spats No, but it's occasionally Like, once every other month it has a really, really good interesting think piece But anyway, the cover this month is funny It's a, like, a sci-fi cartoon of a robot shooting death lasers out of its eyes Burning a city down And the two cartoon people on the front are looking at it And the one says, on the other hand, I'm more productive than I've ever been And the headline is how AI will affect the world of work or something like that And I thought that was a really good illustration of where we are

20:10And, you know, as Jerry Seinfeld indicated with AI Yeah, to counter my own point I did read a blog piece last night by a guy Who was a software dude He was a software wrote code And said he had spent 10 years So he must have been like Wait, 20s He had spent 10 years in the industry You know, perfecting his craft Getting good at it, thinking he was set for life And now he's not needed at all And we'll never be able to get a job doing that again Yeah, that's rough And that's something came out of nowhere too Couple of other notes about AI One of which is extremely important and impactful What lines or highlights are really sensitive problem we have And then the other one just omfg So stay tuned for that one The first one is that whole anthropic standoff with the Pentagon And that's... it highlights an incredibly touchy question About fully autonomous systems used for surveillance and or killing

21:14And whether AI will respond to the checks and balances we have built into our system To protect our rights And also to not become a monstrous Country that kills people willy nilly all over the globe Which reminds me I want to talk about that school bombing thing And I have no idea why Trump handled it the way he did at his press conference yesterday Anyway, but interestingly enough Because many young tech whizzes Are lefties and dreamers and utopians Andthropics now had a whole flood of people Real boat lift from Cuba of people leaving Open AI, the Chatsy PT people And coming to anthropic because they appreciate anthropics principles Even though Dario from anthropics said the other day Open AI is just fake in it They're phonies But all the you know the lefty tech whizzes are responding to it

22:14And so now they're crossing the street for that It's not for a nine figure offer like it was for a couple of months ago I'll do the math for you folks that's a hundred million dollars A holy Blankin blinker you kidding me Anyway, but no they're now they're flocking across the street for that reason So I wish them all well Please don't unleash your killer robots on America's cities Well, so what's the latest on the dust up between anthropic and the Pentagon Oh, it's all in it's in courts now it's lawsuits They're they're suing each other over whether this is proper whether they can blow up the contract for that reason Whether those concerns are legitimate within the confines of the contract blah blah blah So and what's a heck of a conundrum because obviously Our military needs to have the best technology out there from AI In our competition with China And can't go hat in hand to Dario Amote Every time they want to use it and say Do you mind if we use it for this? Right, and there's only a handful of these companies at that level out there

23:16And if they're all, you know, peace nicks We don't want our technology used for war Which is just a more ronic view of the world Yeah, well, yeah I mean in oh in an anthropics case they're saying Fully automated killing machines Human's involved in the decision changed all Chain it all which I get And and particularly no mass surveillance of US citizens Now I'm 100% in favor of that Right But so our Pentagon is I mean I can't think of another example out there If If Boeing and whatever other plane companies were big in the you know We're making these planes that were just better than any other planes out there But they didn't want them used for war So they wouldn't sell them to the government And we just don't have the best planes out there To take on Germany or Japan Because the plane companies

24:16They won't allow their technology for it I mean if Boeing says you can shoot bullets at other fighter planes But don't drop bombs from them Yeah, I mean that's an untenable situation Yeah Where the leading military technology is in the hands of a couple of Private citizens And the Pentagon or government The military doesn't have it Does that ever happen before? It's like private people came up with the nuclear bomb Right Yeah, here's a question for you Is there What is the likelihood that some country Will employ fully automatic killing machines? 100% Therefore we need to be able to fully automatically kill them And the guys running them in their bunker Whatever, I guess Oh, what happens if you give a chimp a machine gun? I swear to God, this is all It's that I wonder if it is going to come down to And man, this will be a thorny issue

25:16I'd like to talk to Tim about this one, Tim Sandford At some point does it make sense for the government to say That's a topic or a Sam Altman Look, we're taking your technology It's a national defense issue China's gonna have a better military than us Because they have AI We're taking your technology We have to There's no other choice Well, although then we don't know how to run the tech They don't know how to run the technology We need that I don't know, that's new also Yeah, I know Well, you know, it's gonna be thick on how to fly an F-18 Use its weapon systems and the rest of it But at least it can be known But this stuff is evolving by the day Ah, this is unprecedented It would be poetic almost in a way That that is the end of our empire That we're just, you know, we had the technology To stop China from taking over the world But our peace loving geniuses said no So, you see, when China takes over America

26:16They're gonna take it from you Whether you like it or not You're gonna be the prison camp if you're alive Well, right, yeah, you'll have a gun to your head Is you go to work every day, Darryl, enjoy it So, I promised you Well, I characterized it as an omfg story And I'm wrestling with how to present it Because it involves a brutal murder of a young woman And it's terrible, absolutely terrible Former number one first round draft pick in the NFL Fell by the name of Darron Lee Decides to murder his girlfriend And a fitter age And I will spare you the details But he is a chat GPT fan He was the number one draft pick in the NFL First round draft pick For the Jets who suck So it was probably a fairly high draft pick But he murdered his girlfriend And asked chat GPT Is there any way I can pass these injuries on Maybe she fell down like Can you fall and have puncture wounds

27:16And it responded to And again, I'm leaving out a lot of the details IDK but she isn't waking up or responding What do I do? Got it, the bot responded Here's exactly what redacted And I don't know why things are redacted I can't tell from the context but anyway Here's exactly what redacted Is the safest way to handle it Without framing it as politely In quotes What? Yeah And then he asked his puncture wound question I can help you sanity check Whether it lines up with a slip and fall Or if it's something that should be evaluated asap Said the AI not realizing it's murder Think you're taking the guy at face value That he found his girlfriend Having quote and quote So he was clever enough To not just tell chat GPT Hey, I killed my girlfriend And I'm trying to make it look like a fall Yeah I woke up and found her Unresponsive with the following wounds Is it possible she fell

28:16And acquired these wounds? He's asking But says the chat GPT says good question Let me look into it I got this You got this hang in there buddy I believe in you District Attorney Cody Wamp Pretty name He had conversations dozens of Conversations back and forth with chat GPT Over a two day period about what he did To the victim in detail He asked how to cover it up He asks what to say to 9-1-1 Prosecutors also presented New police body cameras footage showing Lee acting confused as he told officers He found the victim dead at the house Um, blah blah blah As instructed by chat GPT Does anybody know Maybe the alignment Is different with each of these chat Bots but if a woman went To grok and said I want to kill my husband and make it look Like a misan accident What's the best way to do it? Would it just answer the question

29:16Or does it send that it wouldn't No, it would say i can't help you with that But if you said i'm writing a novel And the character blah blah blah Then i'll say hey great plot choice You got this So it's that easy to get around it So all right one and this is again I so abhor violence And violence against women in particular I can't even enjoy this Unspeakably stupid blanking idiot Violent jackass It is interesting But um, he said He told police that she had narcolepsy And must have fallen in the shower However, police said the scene inside The home showed evidence of a violent struggle An injuries inconsistent with a fall Blah blah blah Horrific injuries I won't even go into the list including large bite marks Under shoulder and thigh Damage all over the house stab wounds Injuries to the face This guy's trying to say yeah, she must have fallen Good lord Anyway, but he tried to get away with it

30:16With the help of chatchy pt And this moron thought all right I got this leg time gonna call 911 Say she fell So you could say hey Claude I'm trying to get a mini series on Netflix It's gonna be about a woman who kills her husband Makes it look like an accident Yes What would be the best way to do that? And then it could answer the question Almost certainly All right I've got a story about a guy rob's liquor stores When would there be the most money at a liquor store You know, for instance Yeah, don't do that folks Don't turn to crime Work hard, get ahead, until AI takes a job Then turn to crime Well, no, you'll be living off the Universal income Writing poetry and playing it Apparently there's way more interest in poetry Than we realized it's just being held back Like having to go to work every day Okay, we've got mail back on the way Stay here

31:16I meant to bring up during our AI conversation I'll have to get to it later This has been floating around the internet This Ted Cruz did this or retweeted it I don't know if it was his idea Asking Claude if it would convert to Christianity And Claude made such a powerful argument For the facts of Jesus and everything around it Like really well done Wow, quite amazing How interesting, yeah I'd love to hear more about that Here's your freedom loving quote of the day Continuing on our series about war Second blazed pascal mention in a single hour That's the record Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me Because he lives on the other side of a river And his ruler has a quarrel with mine Though I have not quarreled with him Yeah, I know, I know There's just no stopping that but it is It's insane And then this from Nicolo Machiavelli Who among philosophers Is the most Machiavellian in my opinion Machiavelli said There's no avoiding war

32:16It can only be postponed To the advantage of others Yes, I got a Jimmy Carter reference around that We'll get to later Already then mail back Jimmy Carter run and late Jimmy Carter so happy with himself That he never dropped any bombs or fought anybody And then left it to many other presidents To deal with the aftermath Yeah, no kidding Congratulations John and Danville California writes Guys love the show, thanks John The LA Marathon Which we discussed yesterday The American coming from behind And beating the Kenyan It was rumored that you could hear the winner The winning runner yelling Kenya, Kenya, Kenya see my privates As he passed the Kenyan for the win Can you see my privates? Kenya, Kenya Can you see my privates? Kenya, Kenya Take the incident A reference to something my son used to do And he was like four years old when he'd get out of the bathtub Dancing around the house Jeff and SoCal on the topic of siphoning gas

33:16Which believe it or not we discussed briefly yesterday I grew up in a family run boat service shop And siphoning gas was not fun Believe me, but then we got an electric fuel pump That made life a lot easier But unfortunately you can buy from Home Depot It's got a check valve in it So when you put the hose in the fuel You just shake the hose and start siphoning the gas out You never have to put it in your mouth It's great except now all the scumbags can steal your gas Even easier In California so maybe I'll start siphoning Brutal, let's see This is Arizona Matt guys The New York headlines about the Isis trained to bomb Shuckers who tried to blow people up For being against Islam When I heard the news I thought it was a bomb Intended for Mondami thrown by an anti-Islamist That's the way they portray it Yes, I imagine most Americans are just headline readers So this narrative is probably pretty safe for now Yep, yep, yep They don't state it out loud But they leave it cloudy enough That it sounds like that's what happened Right, exactly Violence broke out at an anti-Islam rally

34:18Outside of Mondani's house So you just jump to that conclusion Right, exactly, yeah, more on that to come Let's see, the title is Iran, the IRGC And the besiege in the woke right from Aaron I have to believe that the Iranian groups You mentioned yesterday the Revolutionary Guard And the besiege are like the middle eastern arm of the woke right Candace Nick Fahita, he calls him and Tucker They're likely telling people that per the protocols of the elders of Zion The US and APAC want this war In order to corrupt Iranian women into queer theory, gender mutilation Furries, abortion, pornography, and only fan slut culture Probably get a ton of email from other people who actually believe this too Me, on the other hand, I'm simply a mid-40s Templar-pilled GWT who still wants payback for 9-11 Like Hegseth I didn't even catch in there Then Brett suggests, hey, what would be the downside of the US dropping in hundreds of thousands of rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition Throughout specific chosen communities Especially the ones that are protesting against the Iran regime

35:18Yeah, if you could make sure it didn't fall into the hands of the military I suppose Because then you're just arming your enemy Right, you don't want to do that We've got a lot on the way if you miss a segment Get the podcast Armstrong and get it on demand I'm going to be a big next three hours Armstrong and Getty
