I Knew Modern Art Was A Buncha Crap! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I knew modern art was a load of crap. It's
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: one more thing, Armstrong and Getty.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: One that's like your opinion. Man.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Before we get to this list of CIA documents that
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have been disclassified, I'm gonna have to read through all these.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: There's some interesting stuff in here. Things get declassified after
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of time, you know, yeah, just does
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: so a big treasure trove of these just came out.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: But first I wanted to hit this so during Super
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Interesting Cool during the Armstrong Angetty radio show, I angered
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: some people by not taking Nicky Haley seriously enough or something.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've taken it fairly seriously from the beginning.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But I can vouch for that he has yes.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But I guess if you don't do it every single time,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and somebody only hears one comment, like me commenting on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: her dress today, I feel like that's the only thing
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I've ever thought about her. She was wearing a red
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: dress and I said, man, it's some nice dress. In
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: defense of Jack, red is a bold color for a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: politician to wear. It is. If you wear a bright
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: red dress, I assume you're trying to do some attention
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to yourself.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But isn't there some forbidding of doing that in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Book of Leviticus or something like that, wearing a red dress.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But this person went on to say, if a man
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: made a speech wearing a red suit, I'll bet you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: would have mentioned that first as well. And then the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: women get that you have all the options for all
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: these different clothes you can wear. If Mitt Romney came
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: out in a bright red suit, I mean, the first
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: thing anybody said, holy crap.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Like he's sindbad or something.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, for instance, a professional pool player or something out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You know you will see this at the State of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the Union address too, if you torture yourself by watching
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it Thursday as we record this March seventh. It's always
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: struck me. You see the Senate Chamber or the House chamber,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and you have every single guy in a dark suit,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a white or light blue shirt, and a red or
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: blue tie, every single damn one of them. And then
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you've got the many colors of the rainbow of the coals.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: They're wearing white and yellow and red and blue and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: whatever they want, dresses, pants, suits, brooches, no brooches. You
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: got all the options to you. If you're a woman, Katie,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: but only of course. The downside is, I know I've
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: heard women say this before, is I got to come
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: up with something to wear where you get to just
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: throw on a suit and always call yourself dressed up correct,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Which is handy.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely well, especially because it's also simpler. You have
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: your your pants, your shirt, your jacket, which is what
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you guys wear usually.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I wear a suit to work most every day,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and it is it is. It is easier than dressing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: casual to wear a suit.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely true. If you have two suits, you've
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: covered it. If you have three, you're trying too hard.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is about suits is you can
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: gain five pounds loose five pounds. They fit fine.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got four suits. I rotate a bunch of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: dress shirts. It's super easy to drive. But if I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was trying to dress up without a suit, that'd take
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of money in time.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, dresses are not forgiving, guys. I'll tell you that
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: those things do not.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Give Either it fits the way it did when you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: bought it or not.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, or and it'll never fit that way again.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, I've not had that situation.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I haven't tried on many dresses. Huh.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So, the CIA has done a lot of wacky things
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: throughout the years, and a whole bunch of it has
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: been declassified because after twenty five years, or thirty years
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: or fifty years, there are different rules for different levels
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of stuff. Some of this stuff comes out. Some of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: this I've heard before. Some of this I'd never like.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: All this stuff about the way these ways we tried
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to kill fidela Castro, I've heard many many times. Oh,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a classic, We actually did try to poison his cigars
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: or have exploding cigars and kill him, or at least
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: considered it. And a bunch of other stuff. But some
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of this new stuff I had not heard. The Osama
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: bin Laden demon toy. The plan after nine eleven was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: going to make figurines that looked like Osama bin Laden
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and give them to kids in South Asia. After being
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: left in the sun for a certain amount of time,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: its face would peel off to reveal a demon like
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: vision with red skin, green eyes, and black markings. The
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: objective was to scare kids and their parents, so Ben
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Laden and al Qaida would lose support.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Points for creativity. Geeze, how about a stick with me? Now?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: How about a melting faced demon figurine.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like they were on some bad acid. Yeah, wow,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there are no bad ideas, Joe. Let's go with the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Osama bin laden demon face. This one's from the Cold War,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but I don't think i'd heard this one before. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Cold War. Condom drop plan, CIA operatives drew up a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: plan to have packets of extra large condoms labeled small
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: dropped on the USSR. The idea was to lower their morale.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That would work. Wow, I can't a small condoms? Still
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: way too big for me. Wow, my penis must be
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: tiny compared to the West.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: With this tiny penis, I see no reason to fight
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for the Motherland. If I had a giant penis, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: would lay down my life gladly for this correct till
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the end. Yes, But with this minuscule penis, I am
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just going home right. This is a devilish plan.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It's hilarious.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The acoustic Kitty. They basically put a microphone in a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: radio and a cat and released it in the Soviet
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: embassy to wander around eavesdropping since nobody suspects a wandering cat.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Wow, wow, poor a cat.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: All of these ideas just sound like somebody was really
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: high to me, They really do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Dude. What if you're like, put a microphone up a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: cat and then turn it loose because nobody's gonna think
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: of cat's a spy, d most What if the cat
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: spy pooped out the mic, Dude, then it totally be busted.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: What are they gonna do? Question the cat man?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Most cat evert most places of work I've been in.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: You just don't ignore wandering stray cats in the hallways. Huh,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's a different time, another straight cat. Anyway, Jim as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was saying, the place to attack the United States
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is eh, boy, but this is the one I wanted
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to get on because it backs up. I believe Hitler
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and I agree on one thing, and that is modern
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: art is bogus.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: But modern art as a CIA weapon. Back during the sixties,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the CIA noticed that artists tend to lean towards socialism communism.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They realize the best way to prevent this or discredit
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: these political positions was to make them wealthy so that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: they would be more invested in capitalism. To do this,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the CAA anonymously bought modern art pieces, no matter how nonsensical,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for very high prices, making a whole bunch of modern
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: artists rich, so they would embrace capitalism. So a lot
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of that modern art that got successful and sold was
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a CIA plot, not some discerning art collector.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, that makes the cat Ass mic sounds like a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: really good idea. I mean, good, lord, really what the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: wow sounds like.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: A massive waste of money?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I know it will do. I mean what if they
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just like donated to the Communist Party? I mean, I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: don't like, that's just that is weak.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So liked the cat Ass microphone store better than the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: big fan of that one by buying modern art huge,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not a cat.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Did they give any any specific examples? I mean, like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was Andy Warhol entirely a product of the CIA's right,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you know, writing checks?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Nobody had any interest in those soup cans except for
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the CIA. Could be I don't know, doesn't say.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, how interesting.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Cat Ass microphone that's your favorite idea for a number.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Of reasons, exactly of course, the way they walk around
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: with their tails up in the air. You could a camera,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, when he turns that toward you at the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: camera at the wide angle, Well, it has to be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm here, love, I'm not a cat, says the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Cat wandering around the embassy, Well, I guess that's it.
