Pointless exercise in monarchy. Oh, he's back. Okay. That's one take.

Always a joy to welcome Deborah Saunders White House correspondent for the Las Vegas Review Journal to the Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:41.3

Deborah, thank you for honoring us with your presence once again. Good morning, gentlemen. There was a huge controversy last time,

0:47.8

Iran. I'm not sure you were aware of this. Did it reach your ears? I, Joe Getty, stumblingly and russically introduced you as White House correspondent.

0:58.5

I said, I've been accused of accusing you of prostitution, which was obviously slip of the tongue merely my own, you know,

1:07.5

mush-mouthed slip of the tongue. So in case that comes up on Twitter or something like that, I wanted you to hear it from me.

1:13.7
