WEBVTT - Oh Goodie!

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at

0:00:08.420 --> 0:00:12.789
<v Speaker 1>the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:13.010 --> 0:00:29.110
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty. And now. Live from Studio C. Si, senor.

0:00:29.300 --> 0:00:30.110
<v Speaker 1>We are in.

0:00:30.050 --> 0:00:32.420
<v Speaker 2>A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the

0:00:32.500 --> 0:00:38.059
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty communications compound. Surrounded by razor wire and

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>German shepherds. And today we are toiling under the title

0:00:41.020 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 2>of the show. Two Huangs don't make a right. They

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:51.659
<v Speaker 2>make a national security nightmare. Or if you'd prefer, fatties, weirdos, beardos,

0:00:51.740 --> 0:00:53.500
<v Speaker 2>and trannies take their revenge.

0:00:56.490 --> 0:01:00.730
<v Speaker 1>The Hexeth impeachment. That's correct. That's what I was hinting at.

0:01:00.770 --> 0:01:02.100
<v Speaker 1>You picked up on it immediately.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:11.140
<v Speaker 2>So you said something during the pre-show meeting. Oh, that

0:01:12.380 --> 0:01:13.890
<v Speaker 2>you said the impeachment is ridiculous.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:14.770
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:01:14.860 --> 0:01:17.709
<v Speaker 1>Why is it ridiculous? Oh, my gosh.

0:01:17.750 --> 0:01:19.570
<v Speaker 4>A number of things. And we'll go through the charges,

0:01:19.670 --> 0:01:23.110
<v Speaker 4>quote unquote, in a little bit. But it essentially blames

0:01:23.150 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 4>the secretary of defense for carrying out the president's orders,

0:01:26.730 --> 0:01:29.660
<v Speaker 4>which is not a thing we do here.

0:01:29.819 --> 0:01:32.260
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard anybody address that part of it. I'm

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.700
<v Speaker 2>not sure even I don't think Pete even addressed that.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.899
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he didn't think that was a good political move

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.740
<v Speaker 2>because I watched most of his response today.

0:01:41.260 --> 0:01:43.980
<v Speaker 1>Was he defiant? I hope he was defiant.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Of course, he's defiant if the waitress comes to the

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>table and says, are you ready to order, please? I'm

0:01:49.780 --> 0:01:52.860
<v Speaker 2>not worked up either way about Pete Hegseth just in

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.580
<v Speaker 2>general for or against. I don't have any emotion attached

0:01:57.620 --> 0:02:03.910
<v Speaker 2>to that. But I thought he made good points with

0:02:04.490 --> 0:02:07.860
<v Speaker 2>we didn't impeach the secretary of defense over Kosovo. Or

0:02:08.020 --> 0:02:11.739
<v Speaker 2>the disaster of leaving Afghanistan. And he went through a

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:12.900
<v Speaker 2>whole bunch of different examples.

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.510
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah. Probably a thousand. No, we did not.

0:02:17.190 --> 0:02:19.809
<v Speaker 2>And what was he supposed to do when the president

0:02:19.850 --> 0:02:20.850
<v Speaker 2>decides to go to war?

0:02:20.990 --> 0:02:23.230
<v Speaker 1>Resign? Well, right.

0:02:23.270 --> 0:02:25.590
<v Speaker 4>If Trump is sitting there at the resolute desk saying,

0:02:26.150 --> 0:02:28.070
<v Speaker 4>wait a minute, he attacked who?

0:02:28.130 --> 0:02:28.389
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:02:28.410 --> 0:02:28.790
<v Speaker 3>Exactly. Yes.

0:02:28.810 --> 0:02:29.010
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:02:29.050 --> 0:02:29.170
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.930
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is this is Thomas Massey, who's right about

0:02:34.990 --> 0:02:36.930
<v Speaker 4>some stuff, but he is a crackpot.

0:02:37.169 --> 0:02:40.070
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Massey, on the other hand, who he is a crackpot.

0:02:40.090 --> 0:02:41.850
<v Speaker 2>But he said something I thought was really interesting to

0:02:41.889 --> 0:02:44.340
<v Speaker 2>remind me of something our friend Tim Sandefur said many

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:50.140
<v Speaker 2>years ago around impeachment. God, what was it? Trump's first impeachment?

0:02:50.180 --> 0:02:55.350
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's Trump anyway. And Tim said, I think we

0:02:55.370 --> 0:02:57.850
<v Speaker 2>should have more impeachments of more people. It would make

0:02:57.889 --> 0:03:00.750
<v Speaker 2>more sense that that's the way the system was set up.

0:03:01.190 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>And Massey said, we need to change the word impeachment

0:03:04.419 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to just removal. It doesn't sound as scary because you

0:03:07.580 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 2>don't go to jail. You don't get a fine. You

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>just get removed from your office.

0:03:12.350 --> 0:03:15.669
<v Speaker 4>The bulk of the people's representatives have announced, we don't

0:03:15.690 --> 0:03:16.870
<v Speaker 4>think he's any good at this.

0:03:17.210 --> 0:03:19.589
<v Speaker 2>Or, you know, we'd like to try somebody different or whatever.

0:03:19.710 --> 0:03:22.230
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't even have to be as mean as we

0:03:22.270 --> 0:03:24.590
<v Speaker 2>don't think you're good at it. And the president says,

0:03:24.850 --> 0:03:25.750
<v Speaker 2>all of you think that?

0:03:25.889 --> 0:03:28.350
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Okay. And they swap out the job. You're right.

0:03:28.370 --> 0:03:29.290
<v Speaker 1>It's not crazy.

0:03:29.510 --> 0:03:34.540
<v Speaker 2>No, no. We confirmed you because we thought you would

0:03:34.580 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>be a certain set of person. You've turned out to

0:03:36.060 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>be a different sort of person. And we'd like to

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>try somebody different. It's not as... Exciting is the way

0:03:42.780 --> 0:03:46.540
<v Speaker 2>impeachment is presented, like it's the death set, like you're

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>going to the guillotine if you're convicted or something.

0:03:49.340 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Right. Exactly.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:50.339
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:50.700 --> 0:03:54.550
<v Speaker 4>Which is not to say these particular allegations, charges, et cetera,

0:03:54.670 --> 0:03:57.070
<v Speaker 4>are worth a damn. But again, it's the eye of

0:03:57.090 --> 0:03:59.650
<v Speaker 4>the beholder. It's a political process, not a legal process.

0:03:59.690 --> 0:04:02.260
<v Speaker 4>So if the bulk of the House and Senate say,

0:04:02.300 --> 0:04:05.180
<v Speaker 4>you know what, he does suck. He will go, which is,

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.060
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's that's that's our system.

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.260
<v Speaker 2>I thought him making the point that we didn't impeach

0:04:09.340 --> 0:04:11.410
<v Speaker 2>Lloyd Austin after leaving Afghanistan.

0:04:11.430 --> 0:04:11.780
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:12.030 --> 0:04:14.230
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you were going to impeach a second death.

0:04:15.450 --> 0:04:18.670
<v Speaker 2>But again, well, I don't know the I don't know

0:04:18.710 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>all the details on the implementation of Biden's ridiculous plan.

0:04:22.190 --> 0:04:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Who gets all the credit or blame for that? But anyway,

0:04:25.700 --> 0:04:26.500
<v Speaker 2>back to Pete Hegseth.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>You're right.

0:04:27.700 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>If Trump had said, you know, they wake him up

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>at three in the morning. Pete Hegseth just attacked Iran.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:42.729
<v Speaker 1>What? Why? Well, let's get to impeaching. I mean, what happened? Right, right. Yeah,

0:04:42.750 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>so the charges, I think, are ridiculous. It was funny.

0:04:45.710 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I was reading Mark Halpern's newsletter, and we'll play a

0:04:48.420 --> 0:04:50.260
<v Speaker 2>little bit from Pete Hegg's press conference.

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:55.340
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this might be an impeachable offense. It was his first.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.619
<v Speaker 2>Press conference in six months. Should the guy running the war,

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.529
<v Speaker 2>we're at war, not have a press conference over the

0:05:03.570 --> 0:05:04.310
<v Speaker 2>last six months?

0:05:04.630 --> 0:05:06.589
<v Speaker 1>What the hell is that? It's up to his boss.

0:05:06.950 --> 0:05:11.390
<v Speaker 1>Ask his boss. In my world. I don't have any

0:05:11.450 --> 0:05:13.670
<v Speaker 1>idea who calls press conferences.

0:05:13.710 --> 0:05:16.770
<v Speaker 4>The president's the head of the executive branch. So if

0:05:16.790 --> 0:05:18.750
<v Speaker 4>he tells Pete to clam up, Pete's going to clam up.

0:05:18.890 --> 0:05:21.110
<v Speaker 4>If he tells him to have a press conference, he'll have.

0:05:21.089 --> 0:05:24.140
<v Speaker 1>A press conference. I have no concept of the way

0:05:24.180 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>that works.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.980
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if the SecDef can do a press conference

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.420
<v Speaker 2>without clearing it with the president or not.

0:05:28.500 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Probably not. I don't know.

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 4>He just has a schedule of it. But no, if

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.100
<v Speaker 4>the president tells him don't do that and he does it,

0:05:34.140 --> 0:05:34.740
<v Speaker 4>he will be gone.

0:05:34.860 --> 0:05:38.430
<v Speaker 2>My ultimate point would be it seems like we ought

0:05:38.450 --> 0:05:40.370
<v Speaker 2>to be getting more press conferences out of the secretary

0:05:40.390 --> 0:05:44.260
<v Speaker 2>of defense during wartime. It seems like the more proper

0:05:44.300 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>way for things to happen. Well, things are going not great. Right.

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 4>Or super or according to plan or we don't know.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Very quickly on the Nelson Wong thing.

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. Yeah, Nelson. That's right. Jensen. That's right. Jensen

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and Nelson are too similar. Different guy. Here's the encapsulation.

0:06:04.860 --> 0:06:06.580
<v Speaker 1>And this is, I grant you.

0:06:06.610 --> 0:06:10.750
<v Speaker 4>A little prejudicial, but it is 100% true. During the

0:06:10.790 --> 0:06:14.169
<v Speaker 4>time he was having an affair with a Chinese spy...

0:06:14.290 --> 0:06:17.909
<v Speaker 4>He was advocating the president forcefully to sell more chips

0:06:17.970 --> 0:06:21.979
<v Speaker 4>to the Chinese government or Chinese industries, which is the

0:06:22.010 --> 0:06:25.460
<v Speaker 4>Chinese government. That's not a great look there, Jensen. It's

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.020
<v Speaker 4>not a great Nelson, whatever your name is.

0:06:27.100 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>The pushback on that is that all the indications are

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to do that before he met this chick,

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.180
<v Speaker 2>during meeting this chick, and since he met this chick.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what he wants to do. He wants to sell

0:06:38.140 --> 0:06:40.370
<v Speaker 2>as many chips as possible. And for whatever reason, he

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.350
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care near as much as I think he should

0:06:42.410 --> 0:06:46.410
<v Speaker 2>about selling them to Chinese companies. But that was his

0:06:46.490 --> 0:06:49.450
<v Speaker 2>position regardless. But no, it's not a great look.

0:06:50.130 --> 0:06:53.370
<v Speaker 4>The other aspect of that story that annoys and fascinates me,

0:06:54.150 --> 0:06:57.850
<v Speaker 4>the president, our president, went ahead and said, yeah, you

0:06:57.890 --> 0:07:01.130
<v Speaker 4>know what, those pretty damn good chips, you can go

0:07:01.150 --> 0:07:03.670
<v Speaker 4>ahead and sell them to the communists if you cut

0:07:03.770 --> 0:07:08.220
<v Speaker 4>us in on the profits. us being the government of

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.940
<v Speaker 4>the United States. Number one, what the hell is that?

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.390
<v Speaker 4>What are we talking about? And number two, are you serious? Well,

0:07:16.430 --> 0:07:18.530
<v Speaker 4>it's a national security thing, but we could use a

0:07:18.530 --> 0:07:20.810
<v Speaker 4>little help with the budget, so let's just go ahead.

0:07:20.830 --> 0:07:21.770
<v Speaker 1>That's awful.

0:07:22.590 --> 0:07:29.310
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of tech giants, Anthropic announced their IPO, whatever level

0:07:29.330 --> 0:07:33.050
<v Speaker 2>of the announcement was today. The trading starts next week.

0:07:34.390 --> 0:07:37.830
<v Speaker 2>But it was quite a bit less than they were expecting. Weirdly,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.140
<v Speaker 2>it was quite a bit less than they announced last night.

0:07:40.260 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So they put out paperwork last night, then came back

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 2>hours later with a smaller number, and nobody's exactly sure why.

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.780
<v Speaker 1>Did you make an arithmetic error or change your mind,

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:51.580
<v Speaker 1>or what happened there?

0:07:52.230 --> 0:07:54.530
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if somebody said, look, if we come off

0:07:54.570 --> 0:07:57.830
<v Speaker 4>like we're trying to overvalue our company and everybody says that,

0:07:57.870 --> 0:07:58.290
<v Speaker 4>that's going.

0:07:58.190 --> 0:08:01.870
<v Speaker 1>To be a horrible look. Better to undershoot. It's going

0:08:01.890 --> 0:08:02.170
<v Speaker 1>to be around.

0:08:02.170 --> 0:08:06.020
<v Speaker 2>$ 1. 3, $ 1. 4 trillion in that range when, you know, it

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.900
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that many months ago people were talking.

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>About $ 2 trillion.

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.450
<v Speaker 2>So that's the bloom off the rose of some of

0:08:12.510 --> 0:08:13.450
<v Speaker 2>the AI stuff.

0:08:14.170 --> 0:08:14.750
<v Speaker 1>So it would seem.

0:08:14.930 --> 0:08:15.250
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:15.730 --> 0:08:17.570
<v Speaker 2>Let's start the show officially before we get in trouble

0:08:17.590 --> 0:08:20.310
<v Speaker 2>with the FCC and we get impeached. I'm Jack Armstrong.

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.020
<v Speaker 2>He's Joe Getty. On This It Is, how did it

0:08:22.060 --> 0:08:25.780
<v Speaker 2>already get to be? Tuesday, November 10th of the year, 2026.

0:08:25.780 --> 0:08:28.059
<v Speaker 2>We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve this program.

0:08:28.470 --> 0:08:30.870
<v Speaker 4>If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will

0:08:30.910 --> 0:08:33.590
<v Speaker 4>not serve. All right, let's begin officially now. According to

0:08:33.610 --> 0:08:35.490
<v Speaker 4>FCC regs, here we go at Mark.

0:08:35.790 --> 0:08:38.670
<v Speaker 3>I hope he addresses the eight articles and doesn't get

0:08:38.770 --> 0:08:42.809
<v Speaker 3>up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and

0:08:42.830 --> 0:08:47.070
<v Speaker 3>do some pull-ups and, you know, call everybody fat and gay, like,

0:08:47.290 --> 0:08:48.770
<v Speaker 3>for being for this impeachment.

0:08:49.050 --> 0:08:51.150
<v Speaker 1>There you go. Like, I may have just given you

0:08:51.190 --> 0:08:51.890
<v Speaker 1>half his speech.

0:08:51.950 --> 0:08:52.329
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:08:53.630 --> 0:08:55.459
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's pretty funny.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:08:57.210 --> 0:09:01.310
<v Speaker 1>Mark Halpern wrote in his newsletter. That was Thomas Massey, correct? Yes.

0:09:01.390 --> 0:09:04.010
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the guy who's trying to impeach Hegseth for

0:09:04.070 --> 0:09:06.890
<v Speaker 2>some reason. Don't know why he's got a bee in

0:09:06.910 --> 0:09:10.130
<v Speaker 2>his bonnet about that. Doesn't like him. Mark Halpern wrote

0:09:10.150 --> 0:09:12.090
<v Speaker 2>in his newsletter, Pete Hegseth should get up there and

0:09:12.130 --> 0:09:16.330
<v Speaker 2>be as least like the Colin Jost impersonation as he

0:09:16.370 --> 0:09:17.030
<v Speaker 2>possibly can.

0:09:18.110 --> 0:09:19.770
<v Speaker 1>Which would probably be a good idea.

0:09:20.070 --> 0:09:23.189
<v Speaker 2>Don't come off exactly like Colin Jost does on Saturday

0:09:23.230 --> 0:09:23.609

<v Speaker 3>Woof.

0:10:18.630 --> 0:10:21.130
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that reminds me. I read an amazing story about

0:10:21.170 --> 0:10:21.750
<v Speaker 1>a dog.

0:10:21.770 --> 0:10:26.610
<v Speaker 4>This poor gal, well, her baby had a terrible health

0:10:26.670 --> 0:10:30.150
<v Speaker 4>problem that they didn't realize the dog was freaking out

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 4>around the baby, whining and licking it and trying to

0:10:33.420 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 4>get attention.

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.860
<v Speaker 1>And nobody had any idea but the dog.

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.180
<v Speaker 2>What kind of health problem? A heart rhythm problem. And

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.260
<v Speaker 2>the dog sensed it. Yes, the dog sensed the baby

0:10:44.300 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>was in distress. Dogs, truly our best friends. Certainly not

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you damn humans.

0:10:50.020 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Backstabbing bastards.

0:10:52.540 --> 0:10:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Hmm. And that dog has been given an honorary medical

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.580
<v Speaker 2>degree in opening a practice.

0:10:58.140 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Indeed.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.070
<v Speaker 4>It's now committed $ 100 million of Medicaid fraud already.

0:11:02.510 --> 0:11:05.390
<v Speaker 1>Woof!

0:11:07.970 --> 0:11:09.670
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, we got a lot of other news of the day.

0:11:09.870 --> 0:11:12.010
<v Speaker 2>I'm already looking up there and seeing lawyers weighing in

0:11:12.070 --> 0:11:14.890
<v Speaker 2>on the impeachment articles. That's what always happens with these impeachments,

0:11:14.929 --> 0:11:17.750
<v Speaker 2>and it's so damn maddening. It's not a court of law.

0:11:17.970 --> 0:11:19.589
<v Speaker 2>How many times do you have to scream that at

0:11:19.630 --> 0:11:23.370
<v Speaker 2>the top of your lungs to get cable news hosts

0:11:23.850 --> 0:11:25.930
<v Speaker 2>from talking about it like it's a court of law?

0:11:26.030 --> 0:11:30.870
<v Speaker 1>It's not. It's just the whims of the public. They're

0:11:31.050 --> 0:11:32.010
<v Speaker 1>so bad at their jobs.

0:11:32.030 --> 0:11:35.150
<v Speaker 2>And the cowardly people in government will vote with the

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.020
<v Speaker 2>whims of the public, and if people are mostly okay

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.819
<v Speaker 2>with keeping the guy, they'll keep him, and if they're

0:11:39.860 --> 0:11:41.099
<v Speaker 2>mostly okay with getting rid of him, they'll get rid

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 2>of him.

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:46.970
<v Speaker 1>That's how that's decided. God dang it. Let's talk about

0:11:47.050 --> 0:11:54.179
<v Speaker 1>high crimes and misdemeanors, Matt. Right. So tiring. We might

0:11:54.260 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>live through five of these over the next two years.

0:11:57.059 --> 0:11:57.540
<v Speaker 3>Oh, goody.

0:11:59.020 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, goody. Okay, we got Katie's headlines on the way next.

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:08.309
<v Speaker 1>Stay here. Armstrong and.

0:12:10.830 --> 0:12:11.030
<v Speaker 3>Getty.

0:12:11.050 --> 0:12:19.290
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show. I feel like Thanksgiving's getting

0:12:19.350 --> 0:12:23.449
<v Speaker 1>very close. Very close. Just feeling the pressure of the holidays.

0:12:23.530 --> 0:12:26.050
<v Speaker 2>Sneaking up on me. Kids starting to mention things they want.

0:12:26.570 --> 0:12:27.429
<v Speaker 2>All that sort of stuff.

0:12:27.970 --> 0:12:30.350
<v Speaker 1>Pressure's weighing down. And feel it. Feel it pushing on me.

0:12:31.100 --> 0:12:31.660
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:12:31.820 --> 0:12:34.820
<v Speaker 1>Wow. That's not the reason for the season. No, it's not. No,

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not. A lot of good stuff to get to today.

0:12:38.380 --> 0:12:41.459
<v Speaker 4>I mean, just a tremendous amount of really interesting fare

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:45.250
<v Speaker 4>to cover some politics, but a lot of not politics.

0:12:45.390 --> 0:12:49.309
<v Speaker 1>Stuff that affects your real life. So stay tuned.

0:12:49.330 --> 0:12:51.130
<v Speaker 4>Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

0:12:51.150 --> 0:12:52.929
<v Speaker 4>with Katie Green. Katie, hit it.

0:12:53.150 --> 0:12:53.750
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ready.

0:12:53.990 --> 0:12:59.130
<v Speaker 5>Alphabet networks are all Hegseth this morning. ABC, Hegseth dismisses

0:12:59.190 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 5>impeachment effort as political spectacle. NBC, Trump defends Jensen Huang

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.579
<v Speaker 5>and Pete Hegseth at surprise news briefing with Dana White.

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 5>And CNN, Hegseth says impeachment effort is driven by policy disagreements.

0:13:17.470 --> 0:13:21.100
<v Speaker 2>Um, the other annoying thing about this sort of stuff

0:13:21.340 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 2>is the tribalism and the.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.300
<v Speaker 1>Media focus on D.C. that most people don't have. Exactly.

0:13:28.580 --> 0:13:32.179
<v Speaker 2>If you can push out anybody from the other administration's,

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.900
<v Speaker 2>you know, inner circle.

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:36.140
<v Speaker 1>Yay!

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.650
<v Speaker 2>We moved the ball one inch down the field in

0:13:38.690 --> 0:13:40.750
<v Speaker 2>a way that normal people don't really give a crap.

0:13:41.190 --> 0:13:44.820
<v Speaker 1>We got a scalp. Exactly. That's a big sport in D.C.

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.860
<v Speaker 2>We made him fire him and hire somebody else with

0:13:47.940 --> 0:13:49.620
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same policies.

0:13:49.980 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes!

0:13:51.500 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>And to quote Abdul Al-Sayed, that's not going to do

0:13:54.420 --> 0:13:55.620
<v Speaker 2>anything about the price of gas.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.490
<v Speaker 1>Oh, boy. New York Times.

0:14:01.470 --> 0:14:05.510
<v Speaker 5>Wang told Trump he did not know Chinese woman was

0:14:05.570 --> 0:14:06.809
<v Speaker 5>a suspected spy.

0:14:06.850 --> 0:14:09.069
<v Speaker 2>That's one of my favorite quotes from Trump yesterday. I

0:14:09.110 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>talked to Wang. I asked him, did you know she

0:14:11.390 --> 0:14:13.439
<v Speaker 2>was a spy? He said, I had no idea, and

0:14:13.500 --> 0:14:13.980
<v Speaker 2>I believe him.

0:14:15.100 --> 0:14:18.300
<v Speaker 1>All right. What? Okay. So there's part of the whole

0:14:18.380 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>spying business.

0:14:19.540 --> 0:14:21.580
<v Speaker 2>Was there a possibility in your world that he knew

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.950
<v Speaker 2>all along she was a Chinese spy? Because that would

0:14:24.990 --> 0:14:25.950
<v Speaker 2>seem pretty crazy.

0:14:28.230 --> 0:14:29.170
<v Speaker 1>From the Washington Post.

0:14:29.910 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 5>California voters reject billionaire tax that divided Democrats.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.580
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we need to talk about that. It's notable. Here's

0:14:38.620 --> 0:14:43.250
<v Speaker 4>your bigger story, Katie, your 30,000 feet. There were many, many,

0:14:43.590 --> 0:14:48.650
<v Speaker 4>many ballot measures across the country that were unquestionably not

0:14:48.810 --> 0:14:54.780
<v Speaker 4>progressive that won. Office holders swung way to the left,

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.580
<v Speaker 4>or to Democrats anyway, but a lot of the questions

0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.700
<v Speaker 4>before the people were pretty moderate to conservative, so how

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.020
<v Speaker 4>you interpret the election, that might shade it a little bit.

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 4>It's just a wholesale rejection of the Republican Party at

0:15:08.340 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 4>this moment.

0:15:09.540 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the way I rate it. Plus, prices are high.

0:15:11.980 --> 0:15:14.860
<v Speaker 1>People are pissed. Wall Street Journal.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 5>Anthropic to seek $ 1. 3 trillion valuation in IPO.

0:15:22.750 --> 0:15:26.270
<v Speaker 2>Why did they come in significantly higher than that last night,

0:15:26.410 --> 0:15:27.690
<v Speaker 2>then change the numbers overnight?

0:15:27.710 --> 0:15:30.030
<v Speaker 1>It's a very unusual move, and nobody's sure why.

0:15:31.450 --> 0:15:34.989
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I wonder if somebody called from the something or

0:15:35.030 --> 0:15:38.700
<v Speaker 4>other department and said, hey, you know, Project Gorilla?

0:15:41.180 --> 0:15:41.660
<v Speaker 1>Who knows?

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:51.020

0:15:58.610 --> 0:16:01.790
<v Speaker 1>Because of her penis? Because of her penis.

0:16:02.430 --> 0:16:06.050
<v Speaker 4>She laid le slap de biche on him, as we

0:16:06.070 --> 0:16:07.070
<v Speaker 4>discussed yesterday.

0:16:07.430 --> 0:16:09.020
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who to root for in this story.

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't really care about the McCrones and their weird marriage.

0:16:12.370 --> 0:16:16.890
<v Speaker 4>Right and yeah yeah the whole she was a 40

0:17:19.869 --> 0:17:22.210
<v Speaker 2>lately just trying to spread more good in the world

0:17:23.470 --> 0:17:30.270
<v Speaker 2>rather than uh than than the opposite yes yeah you

0:17:30.290 --> 0:17:32.970
<v Speaker 2>know what's weird and i had not anticipated this and

0:17:33.130 --> 0:17:36.260
<v Speaker 2>it's funny it's the inverse of those admittedly very amusing

0:17:36.300 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>commercials where young homeowners are becoming their parents yeah insurance

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 2>company but Once you get to a certain age, you're

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.379

<v Speaker 1>Helps. So I can.

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.940
<v Speaker 4>Say to people who I pass on a walk, hey,

<v Speaker 4>how are you all doing?

0:17:52.060 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>And they're not going to think, all right, what's he

0:17:53.859 --> 0:17:56.409
<v Speaker 1>trying to sell me? He's hitting on me. Does he

0:17:56.430 --> 0:17:57.190
<v Speaker 1>want to fight me?

0:17:57.830 --> 0:18:00.310
<v Speaker 2>The woman doesn't think you're hitting on them, and the

0:18:00.570 --> 0:18:02.510
<v Speaker 2>other people don't think you're trying to rob them.

0:18:02.650 --> 0:18:05.270
<v Speaker 1>Right, or challenge them, or sell something to them. You're

0:18:05.290 --> 0:18:09.910
<v Speaker 1>just a lost old man. I'm lost. I'm lost. Maybe

0:18:09.930 --> 0:18:12.709
<v Speaker 1>a dollar to get to the bus station. No, see,

0:18:12.750 --> 0:18:13.570
<v Speaker 1>that would be a scam.

0:18:14.010 --> 0:18:15.670
<v Speaker 4>You're taking this in a weird direction.

0:18:16.890 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get into some of the news of the

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>day in a little more depth coming up. We do

0:18:20.140 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot of segments. The way to get all of

0:18:21.900 --> 0:18:24.280
<v Speaker 2>them would be to subscribe to the podcast, Armstrong and

0:18:24.300 --> 0:18:26.260
<v Speaker 2>Getty On Demand. And you'd also get one more thing.

0:18:26.300 --> 0:18:28.369
<v Speaker 1>So that's cool. All of it's on the way. Stay here.

0:18:30.390 --> 0:18:31.490
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:43.510 --> 0:18:45.430
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:18:48.820 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 5>On this day in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell.

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 4>And it also marks the day that West Berlin got

0:18:56.510 --> 0:18:57.810
<v Speaker 4>all their Frisbees back.

0:19:03.490 --> 0:19:06.530
<v Speaker 1>So a new inflation number. Can I try that again?

0:19:06.910 --> 0:19:07.290
<v Speaker 1>Take two.

0:19:07.510 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I put an M in there and there's no M

0:19:08.980 --> 0:19:13.370
<v Speaker 2>in the word. Inflation is back in the news as

0:19:13.490 --> 0:19:17.350
<v Speaker 2>a monthly report came out and went up 0.4% or

0:19:17.530 --> 0:19:20.020
<v Speaker 2>something like that. Anyway, the Wall Street Journal makes the

0:19:20.060 --> 0:19:24.630
<v Speaker 2>point that over the past three months, prices have now

0:19:24.730 --> 0:19:27.780
<v Speaker 2>risen at 5.7% annualized pace.

0:19:28.660 --> 0:19:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:19:29.380 --> 0:19:31.010
<v Speaker 1>We all grew up used to 2%.

0:19:31.010 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 2>5.7% is damn near three times over the last three

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.580
<v Speaker 2>months annualized. So that's just in the last three months.

0:19:42.390 --> 0:19:44.710
<v Speaker 2>So if it feels like things are more expensive, that's.

0:19:44.550 --> 0:19:45.250
<v Speaker 1>Because they are.

0:19:45.850 --> 0:19:47.330
<v Speaker 4>I know I speak for all of us when I

0:19:47.390 --> 0:19:49.890
<v Speaker 4>say Judy and I had a what the hell?

0:19:50.630 --> 0:19:52.490
<v Speaker 1>Experience again yesterday.

0:19:52.510 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't even remember what it was, and it hardly matters. Yeah,

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 4>and you're living paycheck to paycheck, man. That's not a theoretical. Wow,

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 4>what's happened?

0:20:02.100 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. I wonder if wages have kept pace. No, it's

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:10.020
<v Speaker 1>a gut punch. Yeah, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

0:20:10.690 --> 0:20:13.570
<v Speaker 2>Until that gets under control, we could have seriously wild

0:20:13.670 --> 0:20:15.490
<v Speaker 2>swings in our elections like we've been having.

0:20:16.210 --> 0:20:17.110
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would agree.

0:20:17.330 --> 0:20:20.090
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting as the dust has settled, it's become more

0:20:20.130 --> 0:20:22.830
<v Speaker 4>and more clear to anybody who takes a serious look

0:20:22.890 --> 0:20:24.830
<v Speaker 4>at it that the election was about a couple of things,

0:20:24.850 --> 0:20:28.710
<v Speaker 4>but it wasn't about a swing to the left. For instance,

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you a couple of for instances, then we'll

0:20:30.380 --> 0:20:34.340
<v Speaker 4>get more into the analysis. But California voters, for the

0:20:34.460 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 4>love of all that is holy, to the shock and

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:43.310
<v Speaker 4>delight of anybody sane, have rejected apparently the billionaire tax,

0:20:43.369 --> 0:20:46.300
<v Speaker 4>the wealth tax, and the.

0:20:47.100 --> 0:20:50.220
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. It's not funny. It's annoying. The New York Times.

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 4>Just never even got into the fact that it has

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.340
<v Speaker 4>been denounced by any sane economist on Earth as having

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.700
<v Speaker 4>failed miserably everywhere it has been enacted. They didn't mention that.

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:03.980
<v Speaker 4>They just mentioned this person's in favor of it. This

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 4>person's against it. But other than the money-grubbing unions... that

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.980
<v Speaker 4>we're going to get the wheelbarrow full of cash, dump

0:21:12.030 --> 0:21:16.629
<v Speaker 4>truck full of cash. Even lefty California politicians, some of

0:21:16.650 --> 0:21:18.490
<v Speaker 4>them said this is going to hurt us long term.

0:21:18.550 --> 0:21:19.229
<v Speaker 1>We can't have this.

0:21:19.530 --> 0:21:23.810
<v Speaker 4>Although the California Democratic Party did support it. Worth mentioning

0:21:23.890 --> 0:21:28.300
<v Speaker 4>that the greed head union mobsters who supported this, including

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:33.180
<v Speaker 4>Dave Regan, the president of the Service Employees International Union,

0:21:33.940 --> 0:21:37.899
<v Speaker 4>have vowed, quote, that is, oh, that They're going to

0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.659
<v Speaker 4>put it back on the ballot in two years. That

0:21:39.700 --> 0:21:42.120
<v Speaker 4>is our plan. We will build on the coalition that

0:21:42.140 --> 0:21:45.900
<v Speaker 4>brought us here. We welcome more stakeholders in the process, meaning, hey,

0:21:46.310 --> 0:21:48.669
<v Speaker 4>you give us your support, we'll spread out the cash,

0:21:49.050 --> 0:21:51.610
<v Speaker 4>and we'll put forward a proposal informed by everything we've

0:21:51.650 --> 0:21:53.090
<v Speaker 4>learned in this campaign.

0:21:53.350 --> 0:21:56.550
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought about that yesterday when it finally became

0:21:57.890 --> 0:22:00.210
<v Speaker 2>official that it lost in California.

0:22:01.859 --> 0:22:07.750
<v Speaker 1>The nation's first wealth tax... It would have been, but

0:22:07.810 --> 0:22:08.830
<v Speaker 1>lost in California.

0:22:08.850 --> 0:22:10.930
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, yeah, I've lived through this sort of

0:22:10.970 --> 0:22:14.270
<v Speaker 2>thing before with driver's licenses for illegals, where when you

0:22:14.290 --> 0:22:15.870
<v Speaker 2>run it up the flagpole the first time, it's like,

0:22:16.390 --> 0:22:19.470
<v Speaker 2>are you crazy? Of course not. And everybody agreed and

0:22:19.490 --> 0:22:21.820
<v Speaker 2>we voted against it. And within a couple of years,

0:22:22.340 --> 0:22:26.500
<v Speaker 2>you chip away a couple of tries later, it becomes

0:22:26.580 --> 0:22:28.580
<v Speaker 2>just the law of the land. And I worry that

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>that's going to happen with these wealth taxes, not just

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 2>in California, but across the country.

0:22:33.380 --> 0:22:36.530
<v Speaker 4>Right, and the important, the insidious part about them is,

0:22:36.700 --> 0:22:39.790
<v Speaker 4>and clearly we're no billionaires, is that, so we don't,

0:22:40.010 --> 0:22:44.090
<v Speaker 4>I don't, I have no personal interest in this whatsoever,

0:22:44.810 --> 0:22:47.810
<v Speaker 4>but the California measure in particular said this sort of

0:22:47.869 --> 0:22:49.390
<v Speaker 4>tax is okay going forward.

0:22:49.770 --> 0:22:53.530
<v Speaker 1>That's the big deal. Okay, wow, you've got a house

0:22:53.570 --> 0:22:55.190
<v Speaker 1>worth what?

0:22:55.190 --> 0:22:59.240
<v Speaker 4>$ 1. 8 million? You ought to be paying your fair share.

0:22:59.619 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Once you open that gate.

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's there's a couple of big deals. One of

0:23:03.700 --> 0:23:06.640
<v Speaker 2>them is that because you've you've now, you know, moved

0:23:06.700 --> 0:23:10.810
<v Speaker 2>the Overton window into the world of wealth taxes. The

0:23:10.850 --> 0:23:14.070
<v Speaker 2>other part is the billionaires leave and you have the

0:23:14.130 --> 0:23:17.730
<v Speaker 2>same bills and everybody else has to pay them and

0:23:17.750 --> 0:23:18.710
<v Speaker 2>you don't have as much money.

0:23:18.730 --> 0:23:23.310
<v Speaker 4>All right. Which justifies dropping the standards for the wealth tax,

0:23:23.850 --> 0:23:28.230
<v Speaker 4>among other measures. But I mean, there it is. I mean,

0:23:28.250 --> 0:23:31.510
<v Speaker 4>the argument's right itself. Well, wait a minute, a billionaire,

0:23:31.550 --> 0:23:35.710
<v Speaker 4>somebody with $ 800 million, somebody with $ 10 billion, $ 5 billion,

0:23:35.710 --> 0:23:38.740
<v Speaker 4>$ 4 billion, $ 2 billion, they've got plenty of money. So

0:23:38.859 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 4>it's just the government and the cronies still get paid

0:23:41.820 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 4>no matter what. Another topic near and dear to our hearts,

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:50.260
<v Speaker 4>and this is absolutely worth noting, is that virtually, I believe,

0:23:50.300 --> 0:23:50.820
<v Speaker 4>every state.

0:23:52.660 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that had a Keep.

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 4>Boys Out of Girls sports measure passed it by wide,

0:23:57.460 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 4>wide margins.

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:00.660
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:08.030
<v Speaker 4>The Protect Kids Colorado advanced measure. Oh, an increasingly liberal Colorado.

0:24:08.070 --> 0:24:09.790
<v Speaker 4>I'll just read this, make sure I get it right,

0:24:10.609 --> 0:24:13.830
<v Speaker 4>where the governor's race was won by nearly 30 points.

0:24:14.630 --> 0:24:15.390
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:24:16.170 --> 0:24:19.540
<v Speaker 2>To me, what this points out is these cowardly politicians

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.540
<v Speaker 2>on the left are who could have stood up for

0:24:22.700 --> 0:24:25.090
<v Speaker 2>what practically everybody agrees on.

0:24:25.609 --> 0:24:27.350
<v Speaker 4>Let me finish the sentence first. Let me tell you

0:24:27.369 --> 0:24:31.350
<v Speaker 4>what passed. He won by nearly 30 points. Prop 134,

0:24:31.330 --> 0:24:38.130
<v Speaker 4>an initiative to require sex-based teams from kindergarten through college, passed.

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.379
<v Speaker 1>Oh, sports teams, 52%.

0:24:40.380 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 4>Protect Kids Colorado advanced that measure along with a companion proposal, 135, that, quote,

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 4>prohibited surgery for a minor for the purpose of altering

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:50.140
<v Speaker 4>the minor's.

0:24:50.150 --> 0:24:56.190
<v Speaker 1>Biological sex characteristics. That passed with 52%. 52? Even though opponents, yeah,

0:24:56.230 --> 0:24:58.010
<v Speaker 1>just barely. Both of them just barely.

0:24:58.930 --> 0:25:02.250
<v Speaker 4>Even though opponents of the measures outspent Protect Kids Colorado

0:25:02.570 --> 0:25:08.100
<v Speaker 4>more than 18 to 1. Nebraska, Washington State, et cetera. Arizona,

0:25:08.300 --> 0:25:08.700
<v Speaker 4>one big.

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:14.020
<v Speaker 2>Man, the surgery thing only got 52%. I mean, the

0:25:14.420 --> 0:25:17.180
<v Speaker 2>boys playing in girls sports is a problem, obviously. But, man,

0:25:17.220 --> 0:25:22.659
<v Speaker 2>they operate on little kids. Is like, you know, Nazi

0:25:22.700 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Mengele stuff.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 1>It is. It's 52 percent. Wow. Yeah.

0:25:28.619 --> 0:25:28.939
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:29.850 --> 0:25:32.679
<v Speaker 4>You know, the the point was made by Hadley Arcus,

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.790
<v Speaker 4>who's a writer that, you know, remember the old Uncle

0:25:35.850 --> 0:25:37.710
<v Speaker 4>Remus stories about the tar baby?

0:25:37.770 --> 0:25:38.850
<v Speaker 1>It was a decoy.

0:25:39.660 --> 0:25:42.060
<v Speaker 4>Made from a mixture of tar and turpentine by the

0:25:42.100 --> 0:25:45.700
<v Speaker 4>crafty Br'er Fox to catch the elusive Br'er Rabbit. Once

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:48.609
<v Speaker 4>the doll was touched, Br'er Rabbit couldn't let it go.

0:25:49.450 --> 0:25:53.109
<v Speaker 4>And Hadley makes the point that the transgender thing is

0:25:53.150 --> 0:25:56.710
<v Speaker 4>a lot like that for Democrats. What's crazy about all

0:25:56.730 --> 0:26:00.610
<v Speaker 4>of this is the philosophical underpinnings of it so few

0:26:00.690 --> 0:26:06.120
<v Speaker 4>people get. And I wish more people got it. Critical

0:26:06.220 --> 0:26:11.020
<v Speaker 4>theory says there is no truth. This is the woke thing, folks,

0:26:11.180 --> 0:26:16.140
<v Speaker 4>in a capsule. There is no objective truth. It doesn't exist.

0:26:16.619 --> 0:26:21.390
<v Speaker 4>Truth is decreed by the powerful in a society to

0:26:21.550 --> 0:26:27.010
<v Speaker 4>serve themselves. And so these people, the actual ideological overlords

0:26:27.030 --> 0:26:30.170
<v Speaker 4>of these people, They believe there is no objective truth

0:26:30.290 --> 0:26:33.130
<v Speaker 4>and no objective like division between men and women.

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:35.500
<v Speaker 1>Everything. Listen now.

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:41.100
<v Speaker 4>Everything is a social construct, including there are men and

0:26:41.140 --> 0:26:46.290
<v Speaker 4>there are women. And if you admit, OK, wait, wait, wait, wait. No,

0:26:46.730 --> 0:26:49.690
<v Speaker 4>clearly there are men and there are women. Boys whoop

0:26:49.730 --> 0:26:52.730
<v Speaker 4>the hell out of girls in sports routinely. Not everyone,

0:26:52.770 --> 0:26:56.060
<v Speaker 4>but most of them. I mean, my God, men are

0:26:56.100 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 4>different from women, women from men, down to the cellular

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:07.189
<v Speaker 4>level biologically. But if you admit, okay, that's an objective truth,

0:27:08.430 --> 0:27:10.050
<v Speaker 4>critical theory falls apart.

0:27:10.869 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And I know a lot of you don't know this.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:16.740
<v Speaker 4>Critical theory has taken over our nation's teachers' colleges and

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:18.100
<v Speaker 4>now our colleges and universities.

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:20.060
<v Speaker 1>If you admit, yes, there are.

0:27:19.980 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Objective truths that we can all count on and all

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 4>agree on, it all falls apart.

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:26.419
<v Speaker 1>That's why they cling to it. It's insane. It's an

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:27.100
<v Speaker 1>insane theory.

0:27:27.340 --> 0:27:29.660
<v Speaker 4>And if you told me 15 years ago, oh, yeah,

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:31.570
<v Speaker 4>people are going to run around preaching this stuff, I'd

0:27:31.590 --> 0:27:37.430
<v Speaker 4>say no. Recalibrate your predictotron equipment because that's insane. Nobody

0:27:37.450 --> 0:27:39.750
<v Speaker 4>could believe that horse ass, and you shouldn't either.

0:27:39.910 --> 0:27:40.369
<v Speaker 1>End of screen.

0:27:40.730 --> 0:27:43.270
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would have really dominated the high school girls

0:27:43.330 --> 0:27:45.650
<v Speaker 2>golf team in my school if I could have played.

0:27:46.609 --> 0:27:50.190
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, please. Blowing it past him on the fairway.

0:27:50.210 --> 0:27:54.869
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding? Nice drive, sweetheart. What are you, a girl? Oh,

0:27:54.910 --> 0:27:59.090
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Yeah, you are. Oh, and so am I. So, so, so,

0:27:59.290 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>so am I. All right. Tell you what.

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Take your knife and your fork and cut into a

0:28:06.980 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 4>delicious steak from Omaha Steaks. That's my advice to you.

0:28:10.820 --> 0:28:13.260
<v Speaker 4>You know, we're hosting for the holidays, and Judy and

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:15.440
<v Speaker 4>I just really like a nice piece of beef, among

0:28:15.500 --> 0:28:19.870
<v Speaker 4>other things. And so both for ourselves and as gifts,

0:28:19.950 --> 0:28:21.430
<v Speaker 4>we love Omaha Steaks.

0:28:22.070 --> 0:28:24.969
<v Speaker 2>Super high quality, butchered and aged in-house, sourced right here

0:28:24.990 --> 0:28:27.669
<v Speaker 2>in the United States. Steaks are amazing. The burgers are amazing.

0:28:27.730 --> 0:28:29.530
<v Speaker 2>I had them last night. But what do they do

0:28:29.570 --> 0:28:32.409
<v Speaker 2>to those hot dogs? Why are the hot dogs so

0:28:32.950 --> 0:28:37.710
<v Speaker 2>freaking good? Why can't other hot dogs come within a

0:28:37.820 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>mile of that? Anyway, you're probably not getting Omaha Steaks

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>for the hot dogs, but throw in a couple of

0:28:41.660 --> 0:28:43.700
<v Speaker 2>hot dogs. The Jumbo Franks, they're really, really good. And

0:28:43.720 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the apple tartlets and all the other stuff. Your next

<v Speaker 1>Bon appetit.

0:29:14.780 --> 0:29:18.420
<v Speaker 2>I wish I didn't hate grilling so much. I tweeted

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.990
<v Speaker 2>out one of my hateful, God, I hate grilling posts.

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 2>How about this night when I was starting to grow?

0:29:23.580 --> 0:29:24.310
<v Speaker 1>I just hate it.

0:29:24.420 --> 0:29:26.980
<v Speaker 2>I hate everything about it. And I know one of

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the reasons it makes me so mad is I know

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 2>as a guy, I should be. I'll never I'll never

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:35.100
<v Speaker 2>get to have sex as a guy who hates grillers.

0:29:35.150 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:29:36.500 --> 0:29:38.180
<v Speaker 2>My son even said to me, he said, you hate

0:29:38.220 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>grilling and you take baths.

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:29:40.100 --> 0:29:41.959
<v Speaker 2>I took a bath once because I was sick. He

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 2>hangs it over my head all the time. You hate

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:45.860
<v Speaker 2>grilling and you take baths.

0:29:45.980 --> 0:29:48.290
<v Speaker 1>Okay. And cream in the coffee.

0:29:48.450 --> 0:29:48.970
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:29:49.070 --> 0:29:53.470
<v Speaker 1>I just started getting fitted for a skirt. Jack, don't grill.

0:29:54.270 --> 0:29:57.790
<v Speaker 4>You take a steak. And there's a little prep involved,

0:29:57.810 --> 0:29:59.990
<v Speaker 4>but just a little. You sear it in a cast

0:30:00.110 --> 0:30:02.820
<v Speaker 4>iron skillet. You stick it in the oven. You finish

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:03.410
<v Speaker 4>it in the oven.

0:30:03.430 --> 0:30:04.060
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:30:04.500 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I hate cooking in general. Grilling is even worse. You

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 2>know what I'd like to do is get in my car,

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>drive to the restaurant, order something, eat it, and go home.

0:30:12.620 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my.

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.940
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Katie. Oh, boy. I'm going to need your man card. Katie?

0:30:16.220 --> 0:30:18.850
<v Speaker 5>You probably don't like grilling because you have to squat

0:30:18.870 --> 0:30:20.850
<v Speaker 5>down like a freaking frog to do it.

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I grew a junkie in an alley. It really looks

0:30:25.340 --> 0:30:28.170
<v Speaker 1>like a homeless encampment grill. Oh, look at that.

0:30:28.230 --> 0:30:31.130
<v Speaker 2>Look at that junkie doing the lean over there.

0:30:31.170 --> 0:30:34.130
<v Speaker 1>He must be high on fentanyl. No, that's Jack leaning

0:30:34.250 --> 0:30:35.730
<v Speaker 1>over his homeless guy grill.

0:30:35.850 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 5>He didn't sweep all the leaves away. They're just under

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:40.760
<v Speaker 5>the grill plate on the ground.

0:30:41.550 --> 0:30:41.770
<v Speaker 1>True.

0:30:42.630 --> 0:30:44.370
<v Speaker 2>It is the grill they sell to meth heads. That's

0:30:44.390 --> 0:30:46.250
<v Speaker 2>the only reason Weber even makes that grill.

0:30:46.310 --> 0:30:50.020
<v Speaker 1>It's for people who live under overpasses. No, it's tailgating.

0:30:50.100 --> 0:30:53.020
<v Speaker 1>Come on. Oh, it's for tailgating? Yes. For people who

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 1>live under overpasses. This thing called camping. You used to

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 1>be an inveterate tailgater. I remember back in the day.

0:30:59.900 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't grill. I just don't like cooking. I just

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 1>hate it. I wish I liked it like a lot

0:31:06.460 --> 0:31:09.340
<v Speaker 1>of people do, like really enjoy it. I just find

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing annoying.

0:31:10.730 --> 0:31:13.130
<v Speaker 4>Yeah i kind of tolerate it i get it i

0:31:13.170 --> 0:31:14.750
<v Speaker 4>get it although the oh my god.

0:31:14.570 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>The steak is so good but no joke is a

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:19.860
<v Speaker 2>single guy it's just something i got to keep a

0:31:19.900 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 2>secret and hope that i could get somebody to like

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 2>me enough for other qualities before i lay on them

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:28.370
<v Speaker 2>the fact that i doubt it i i hate grilling

0:31:28.770 --> 0:31:32.330
<v Speaker 2>and i'm not going to because otherwise it's just i'm

0:31:32.530 --> 0:31:35.190
<v Speaker 2>i'm out they're out you You can fix stuff around

0:31:35.210 --> 0:31:35.990
<v Speaker 2>the house, though, right?

0:31:36.350 --> 0:31:36.690
<v Speaker 1>I can.

0:31:36.790 --> 0:31:38.590
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of things I can do, manly things I

0:31:38.610 --> 0:31:40.010
<v Speaker 2>can do. I'll do all kinds of things.

0:31:40.070 --> 0:31:41.690
<v Speaker 1>I'll change your tires. I'll fix things around the house.

0:31:41.730 --> 0:31:43.780
<v Speaker 1>I'll do whatever, but I'm not going to grill. I

0:31:43.820 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>hate it. You can achieve a state of readiness when

0:31:46.380 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 1>called upon.

0:31:46.860 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 5>Whenever.

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Right now. Right now. Give me two seconds. Oh, no, no, no.

0:31:50.260 --> 0:31:50.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready.

0:31:50.500 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>That's how long it took me. I don't like myself, Katie.

0:31:52.940 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:31:53.020 --> 0:31:53.620
<v Speaker 2>Very good. All right.

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:55.500
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to a break. Thank you, Joe. Good God.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>It just strengthens it.

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:59.140
<v Speaker 4>You're like a video game character, right? You got eight

0:31:59.180 --> 0:32:00.550
<v Speaker 4>over here. You're seven on that scale.

0:32:00.590 --> 0:32:02.450
<v Speaker 1>You're a four on that one. Well, what are you

0:32:02.470 --> 0:32:05.150
<v Speaker 1>going to do? Exactly. Mailbag next. Stay here.

0:32:06.630 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. Speaking of grilling,

0:32:23.150 --> 0:32:26.820
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street Journal with the shrinking U.S. cattle herd and

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.700
<v Speaker 2>why high beef prices are here to stay, which is

0:32:29.740 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 2>interesting because it's expensive.

0:32:32.740 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 4>I read that with concern. Yeah, really interesting topic, too. If,

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 4>like us, you love the beef, stay tuned. We'll talk

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 4>about that. First, it's your freedom-loving.

0:32:40.820 --> 0:32:44.810
<v Speaker 1>Quote of the day. Continuing on our series about forgiveness.

0:32:46.060 --> 0:32:48.820
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm looking at this, and I'm thinking about

0:32:48.860 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the concept.

0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:54.740
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure I could quickly define the word forgiveness.

0:32:55.590 --> 0:32:59.690
<v Speaker 1>But to forgive. I have to think about it.

0:33:00.470 --> 0:33:03.670
<v Speaker 4>Because what I found myself thinking about is, you know,

0:33:04.090 --> 0:33:07.970
<v Speaker 4>if somebody asks for forgiveness or is contrite, yeah, that's easy.

0:33:08.190 --> 0:33:09.070
<v Speaker 1>What if they don't?

0:33:10.230 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 4>Then what is forgiveness exactly? Maybe we can talk about

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.300
<v Speaker 4>that later. Because I've got a bunch of great quotes

0:33:14.340 --> 0:33:14.580
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 1>For instance.

0:33:15.590 --> 0:33:18.990
<v Speaker 2>You have to go with the idea that hanging on

0:33:19.050 --> 0:33:24.530
<v Speaker 2>to it is like drinking poison. You're drinking the poison.

0:33:24.550 --> 0:33:26.690
<v Speaker 2>You're thinking it's hurting the other person, but you're drinking

0:33:26.710 --> 0:33:28.810
<v Speaker 2>the poison. They're not even aware you're a mad.

0:33:30.230 --> 0:33:30.570
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:33:30.590 --> 0:33:31.090
<v Speaker 5>Exactly.

0:33:31.390 --> 0:33:33.810
<v Speaker 4>It's like drinking poison and waiting for the other person

0:33:33.850 --> 0:33:36.250
<v Speaker 4>to die. I've heard it described of on that theme.

0:33:36.770 --> 0:33:39.130
<v Speaker 4>Lewis Smedes, whose name I work, I do not know

0:33:39.470 --> 0:33:42.490
<v Speaker 4>to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover

0:33:42.530 --> 0:33:43.590
<v Speaker 4>that the prisoner was you.

0:33:44.810 --> 0:33:45.950
<v Speaker 1>There you go. Similar. Similar.

0:33:46.050 --> 0:33:46.210
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:33:46.230 --> 0:33:47.730
<v Speaker 1>Similar theme. Yeah. Yeah.

0:33:47.750 --> 0:33:50.470
<v Speaker 4>We'll get a little nittier and grittier tomorrow. Be sure

0:33:50.510 --> 0:33:52.690
<v Speaker 4>to tune in for the freedom loving quotes of the day.

0:33:52.730 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 4>I've got a great pair on forgiveness.

0:33:54.150 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag. Mailbag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.

0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:01.820
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:02.380
<v Speaker 1>We have a choice.

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.780
<v Speaker 4>We can either cut the music for something very serious

0:34:04.820 --> 0:34:05.740
<v Speaker 4>and important.

0:34:06.540 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's do that.

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:10.750
<v Speaker 4>Just kill the music, Michael. Kevin, the Texafornia Marine, with

0:34:10.810 --> 0:34:13.570
<v Speaker 4>a quick shout-out to my fellow Marines. Happy birthday, brothers

0:34:13.610 --> 0:34:17.930
<v Speaker 4>and sisters in Semper Fi. It's the Marine Corps' 251st birthday.

0:34:18.630 --> 0:34:22.350
<v Speaker 4>I will be spending my day with about 10 other Marines. Firearms, Tannerite, and,

0:34:22.370 --> 0:34:25.590
<v Speaker 4>of course, alcohol. After the pew-pews and bang-bangs, of course.

0:34:26.310 --> 0:34:27.930
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's up to you, Kevin. I've done it both ways.

0:34:28.230 --> 0:34:30.270
<v Speaker 4>The first drink is where we go around the circle

0:34:30.330 --> 0:34:32.129
<v Speaker 4>and name a buddy that didn't come home.

0:34:32.410 --> 0:34:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Ooh.

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 4>This has become a tradition in our little group, and

0:34:35.060 --> 0:34:36.910
<v Speaker 4>last year we met up with a Marine friend from

0:34:36.950 --> 0:34:39.009
<v Speaker 4>one of my old units. We're both a bit grayer now,

0:34:39.050 --> 0:34:40.690
<v Speaker 4>but we hit it off like we hadn't had any

0:34:40.730 --> 0:34:44.810
<v Speaker 4>time apart. Then he sent along a video about the

0:34:44.950 --> 0:34:47.529
<v Speaker 4>Marine Corps birthday. Thank you, Kevin, and thank you for

0:34:47.570 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 4>your service, and that's a beautiful thing. I, too, have

0:34:52.300 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 4>mixed firearms and Tannerite, and it's an explosive. Google it,

0:34:55.380 --> 0:34:58.029
<v Speaker 4>and a good time was had by all. Shout out

0:34:58.070 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 4>to my redneck friends who I moved to a different hood.

0:35:00.700 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>And booze.

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:02.900
<v Speaker 2>Have I ever told the story about how I shot

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:04.620
<v Speaker 2>a hole through the bottom of my buddy's truck?

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.660
<v Speaker 1>Ever told that story? I think you have, yes. It's charming.

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:09.399
<v Speaker 1>That was a bad idea.

0:35:11.300 --> 0:35:14.839
<v Speaker 4>You should release a memoir. You have had a number

0:35:14.860 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 4>of entertaining mishaps. You may need people around you to

0:35:18.100 --> 0:35:19.100
<v Speaker 4>remind you of them.

0:35:19.219 --> 0:35:21.180
<v Speaker 1>I know I do. Anyway, moving along.

0:35:22.219 --> 0:35:25.240
<v Speaker 4>I didn't get this at first. There's a picture attached.

0:35:25.730 --> 0:35:29.509
<v Speaker 4>Loyalist Robert writes, L.A. has a new mayor. And it's

0:35:29.910 --> 0:35:34.469
<v Speaker 4>black smoke issuing forth from one of the fires in L.A.

0:35:35.130 --> 0:35:36.770
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It's a reference to the selection of

0:35:36.790 --> 0:35:38.990
<v Speaker 1>the pope. Took me a second.

0:35:40.730 --> 0:35:42.810
<v Speaker 4>On the topic of the lame duck session, I love this.

0:35:42.870 --> 0:35:43.710
<v Speaker 1>Ryan from Houston.

0:35:43.770 --> 0:35:47.310
<v Speaker 4>Nearly every company, when somebody gets fired or somebody quits,

0:35:47.370 --> 0:35:49.989
<v Speaker 4>we don't let them stay around and cause conflict. You

0:35:50.010 --> 0:35:52.800
<v Speaker 4>had a bunch of butthurt grifters in Congress saying, Losing

0:35:52.820 --> 0:35:55.100
<v Speaker 4>their money laundering job and we let them stick around

0:35:55.140 --> 0:35:55.700
<v Speaker 4>for months.

0:36:00.780 --> 0:36:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, true, true.

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:04.880
<v Speaker 4>And in fact, one of the more amusing slash disgusting

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 4>things I've heard about the recent election is the Republicans

0:36:07.380 --> 0:36:09.469
<v Speaker 4>still have a number of things. They could shove through.

0:36:09.510 --> 0:36:11.109
<v Speaker 4>And a lot of it's really good, and I hope

0:36:11.140 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 4>they do. One of their challenges is a lot of

0:36:14.460 --> 0:36:18.060
<v Speaker 4>the Congress people who lost don't even bother going back

0:36:18.100 --> 0:36:18.839
<v Speaker 4>to Washington.

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 5>Really?

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>To do their jobs. Wow. They just say, well, F you, voters.

0:36:23.100 --> 0:36:28.310
<v Speaker 1>F you, Congress. And they don't even go. They stay home. Wow. Yeah,

0:36:28.370 --> 0:36:31.190
<v Speaker 1>wow is right. God, there ought to be a thrashing

0:36:31.210 --> 0:36:31.469
<v Speaker 1>for that.

0:36:31.510 --> 0:36:35.850
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of punishments, Cascade John writes, it's interesting that Russell

0:36:35.890 --> 0:36:38.149
<v Speaker 4>Brand was sentenced to 10 years for what he did.

0:36:38.510 --> 0:36:41.860
<v Speaker 4>And the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs were given probation in

0:36:41.900 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 4>many cases. You know, I have not followed the Russell

0:36:45.620 --> 0:36:52.110
<v Speaker 4>Brand case specifically. The line between consensual and non-consensual and

0:36:52.150 --> 0:36:55.890
<v Speaker 4>when it was non-consensual and what was done, I'm not

0:36:56.070 --> 0:36:57.190
<v Speaker 4>up on it enough to comment.

0:36:57.650 --> 0:36:59.469
<v Speaker 1>He invited her back.

0:37:00.310 --> 0:37:04.180
<v Speaker 2>The first night they were together, man, she was quite

0:37:04.219 --> 0:37:07.899
<v Speaker 2>willing to do anything with a celebrity she had just

0:37:07.980 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 2>met like one minute earlier. I mean, that's a certain

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.919
<v Speaker 2>sort of person. But he invites her to his house

0:37:12.940 --> 0:37:14.380
<v Speaker 2>the next day and then full-on rapes her.

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:37:15.140 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, fair enough. Let's see. How much time do we have, Michael?

0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Not very much, huh?

0:37:20.650 --> 0:37:23.609
<v Speaker 2>Comedian russell brand who i've never heard anything say within

0:37:23.610 --> 0:37:25.900
<v Speaker 2>100 miles of funny same.

0:37:26.580 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Same all right so uh a couple of great emails

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:33.439
<v Speaker 4>on the topic of ai agents and whether they're ready

0:37:33.500 --> 0:37:36.210
<v Speaker 4>for prime time i'm sure it'll come up ai in

0:37:36.250 --> 0:37:38.690

0:37:38.710 --> 0:37:41.250
<v Speaker 4>good points from some of our tech savvy listeners so

0:37:41.850 --> 0:37:44.350
<v Speaker 4>that on the way plus beef prices are gonna stay

0:37:44.410 --> 0:37:47.870
<v Speaker 4>high why uh The answer will fascinate you and shock you.

0:37:48.090 --> 0:37:52.310
<v Speaker 1>More talk about the honeypot with Jensen Wang. I believe

0:37:52.370 --> 0:37:57.930
<v Speaker 1>it's Wong, but whatever. For the story, it just ain't. No, no,

0:37:57.950 --> 0:37:58.950
<v Speaker 1>be better than that.

0:37:59.170 --> 0:38:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Has that whole thing moved from government officials into the

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 2>private world in a way that it really hasn't been before?

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:08.260
<v Speaker 1>The spying and such, yeah.

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:10.060
<v Speaker 4>Armstrong and Getty.
