This is an IHeart podcast.

Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center.

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

Armstrong and Getty.

And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

Live from Studio C. C, Signor. It is a dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Gettie Communications compound. We call ourselves the Laboo Boo-boo. Is that what the word is? Of talk radio. Is that the wrong word? I think it is. Whatever I say it, it sounds wrong. But it's right. Laboo. We're wrong. It would have been better if it had been smooth. We're the Laboubu of talk radio. And today we are under the tutelage of our general manager. China. China? China, I've done a computer simulation in my head. 15,000 times. China wins the next century, just like every single time.

China!

I've done the math.

I've assessed the issues.

I've looked at the landscape.

It's just indisputable.

With all the talk of Russia and Ukraine and everything else going on, I'm interested

in why you've chosen China as the general manager.

I just told you.

But why today? That was true yesterday and tomorrow.

Because it's infinitely true today.

I'm just looking at a couple of new stories about AI and just, you know,

military readiness and who's on the front foot, who's on the back foot. It's just, it's obvious. We've had a good run, though. Hey, rebuilding year. You know what? We've got some promising guys in AA. We're going to bring them up. We're going to give them a chance. Maybe China is the Laboo Boo-Boo of world powers. That is well, well put. I have a skip in my step today because of the last half hour of MSNBC's Morning Joe I just watched before coming on the air.

In which it sounded like the Armstrong and Getty show talking about the homeless situation in Washington, D.C.

Oh, my Lord.

And I was so excited.

On one hand, as always, it's frustrating
