Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:13.060 --> 0:00:16.500 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:16.739 --> 0:00:18.700 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:31.510 --> 0:00:39.670 Brief yet disgusting. Play it one more time, Michael. All right. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.240 This does not deserve the national attention it's getting, but 0:00:42.260 --> 0:00:44.640 it's kind of interesting. You got a bunch of hot 0:00:44.740 --> 0:00:49.300 white chicks out for the evening. Old Miss students in Mississippi. 0:00:51.180 --> 0:00:53.020 Who were Oxford University. 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.270 Cool town. Cool campus. 0:00:56.030 --> 0:00:57.110 Oxford, Mississippi. 0:00:57.130 --> 0:00:57.470 Yeah. 0:00:58.020 --> 0:01:01.860 Oxford University is a different place. But anyway, yeah, in Oxford, 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.860 I've never been to Oxford. Oh, cool town. I'd like 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.480 to spend more time in Mississippi. What's stopping me? Anyway, work, 0:01:07.690 --> 0:01:10.710 that is. Anyway, so these three hot white chicks who 0:01:10.730 --> 0:01:13.090 are working their way through the apartment complex on their 0:01:13.130 --> 0:01:15.690 way out to party, judging by the way they're dressed, 0:01:15.709 --> 0:01:21.580 either that or to turn tricks, have stopped outside this 0:01:21.700 --> 0:01:25.350 black girl's, several black young women's apartment. and made ape 0:01:25.430 --> 0:01:28.050 noises and laughed and, and, and et cetera. 0:01:28.290 --> 0:01:28.550 Okay. 0:01:28.930 --> 0:01:31.730 It was caught on a, uh, some sort of doorbell camera. 0:01:32.370 --> 0:01:34.850 As many things are these days, I would suggest that 0:01:34.870 --> 0:01:37.330 this is as much a test of intelligence as racism. 0:01:37.950 --> 0:01:40.310 I saw them that idiotic. I saw the video over 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.480 and over again. I never heard it. And, uh, so 0:01:43.500 --> 0:01:44.500 that's the first time I've heard it. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.060 Hmm. 0:01:45.500 --> 0:01:47.300 Pretty clear what it is there. I was wondering when 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.240 the scene, the video is like, well, how do you 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:50.980 even know what they're doing? Well, when you hear it, 0:01:51.020 --> 0:01:51.420 it's different. 0:01:52.140 --> 0:01:55.220 Uh, yeah, absolutely. And they're right there. They're like, making 0:01:55.420 --> 0:01:58.240 ape gestures and that sort of thing it's it's appalling 0:01:58.300 --> 0:02:01.720 and and they're stupid idiots you know you know who's 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.580 underrated as being really rotten is is hot chicks together 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.400 they're some of the bullionist bullies that ever. 0:02:09.300 --> 0:02:12.359 Bully oh man yeah i've heard moms talk about that 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.960 dealing with uh the high school high school. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.340 Ages yeah yeah so this story has progressed and there's 0:02:18.370 --> 0:02:20.690 been ongoing coverage of it let's uh let's hear from 0:02:20.750 --> 0:02:23.560 some of the young ladies who were On the receiving 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.820 end of this stupidity. 26, Michael. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:32.450 We actually went outside and tried to, like, approach them and, like, 0:02:32.910 --> 0:02:35.889 get them to, like, explain why they did that. One 0:02:35.930 --> 0:02:39.519 girl was apologizing. She was like, I'm sorry. We did 0:02:39.540 --> 0:02:41.880 that to, like, four doors. And she was like, we 0:02:41.900 --> 0:02:42.860 didn't mean any harm. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.380 Okay, next one. 0:02:45.470 --> 0:02:48.530 He continued to make the gestures after the girl was apologizing. 0:02:48.550 --> 0:02:49.930 It was like a slap in the face. Yeah. 0:02:50.030 --> 0:02:53.090 What did you guys say back when she continued? 0:02:53.430 --> 0:02:55.250 I don't think they should go around. Even if they 0:02:55.290 --> 0:02:57.130 did go to other people's door and do that, I 0:02:57.130 --> 0:02:59.400 don't think they should do that because it's very disrespectful. 0:03:00.300 --> 0:03:03.639 Right. So the one girl was apologetic and the other 0:03:03.740 --> 0:03:07.740 one doubled down and started making ape gestures or what 0:03:07.780 --> 0:03:10.860 have you to their faces. And here's some of the 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.950 back and forth that I find interesting. Because this story 0:03:13.970 --> 0:03:17.080 in and of itself is not worth It's not emblematic 0:03:17.139 --> 0:03:21.040 of anything. It's not some great George Floydian thing. America 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.030 should fall down on its knees and weep over. But 0:03:24.090 --> 0:03:28.510 the mom of one of the the gals, the black gals. 0:03:30.690 --> 0:03:31.250 Said. 0:03:32.950 --> 0:03:35.710 Because one of them, at least one of them, has 0:03:35.770 --> 0:03:38.520 withdrawn from the campus, has dropped out of school, essentially. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.500 And mom said, I hate that she withdrew from the school. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.020 You see what I'm saying? Because the course of her life, 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.700 that's going to affect her, too. That's somebody's child. So 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.600 that bothers me because I don't like to see kids, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.460 you know, just starting these babies. They're 18. So I 0:03:51.500 --> 0:03:53.860 hate for the young people. I hate that for the 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.020 young people. I wish people would be mindful and just think, wow, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.170 God bless you, mom. God, we need more people like you. Anyway, 0:04:02.950 --> 0:04:07.360 one of the girls issued a groveling apology via a 0:04:07.420 --> 0:04:10.100 law firm after fessing up to being one of the 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.860 women involved. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.640 Which means she's probably a very wealthy, hot Ole Miss chick. 0:04:17.180 --> 0:04:19.050 Would you guess that? Some would seem, yeah. 0:04:19.610 --> 0:04:21.089 I'll read it to you. To the women I offended 0:04:21.130 --> 0:04:23.910 into the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize. Before the 0:04:23.950 --> 0:04:26.770 incident on November 6th, I never met the women involved 0:04:26.850 --> 0:04:29.409 and was unaware of their race. However, I recognized my 0:04:29.490 --> 0:04:33.460 actions were insensitive. and deeply harmful. I would never intentionally 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.450 made those noises or gestures toward a person of color. 0:04:37.210 --> 0:04:42.170 So her contention is that they were just making monkey noises. 0:04:42.270 --> 0:04:45.950 Cause monkey noises are kind of funny. Hmm. 0:04:48.070 --> 0:04:50.200 Yeah. I, uh, I'm a, I'm a benefit of the 0:04:50.220 --> 0:04:52.920 doubt guy on lots of this sort of stuff. Not 0:04:52.980 --> 0:04:53.420 on this one. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:54.680 Yeah. 0:04:55.300 --> 0:04:57.159 And you know us, we don't rush to call everything 0:04:57.220 --> 0:04:58.960 racism when it's just people being a holes. 0:04:59.580 --> 0:05:04.200 Um, Well, yeah, it's it's I don't know. I don't 0:05:04.230 --> 0:05:08.729 know what their deep seated beliefs are about race or 0:05:08.770 --> 0:05:11.130 if they just thought this would be the most the 0:05:11.190 --> 0:05:13.270 meanest thing we could do to these particular girls. 0:05:13.850 --> 0:05:18.070 But wait, there's more. The family of the very young 0:05:18.130 --> 0:05:21.480 woman I just quoted who issued the apology through an attorney. 0:05:22.220 --> 0:05:27.839 You'd think you could write your own anyway. Her family 0:05:27.860 --> 0:05:33.130 is embroiled in their own legal battle stemming from racism allegations. Evidently, 0:05:33.270 --> 0:05:38.610 her family has a Wisconsin-based automotive empire. Her father, Scott, 0:05:38.670 --> 0:05:41.430 is the former COO of a big auto company in 0:05:41.450 --> 0:05:45.810 that part of the world. And her grandfather also holds 0:05:45.850 --> 0:05:46.910 an executive position. 0:05:47.390 --> 0:05:52.760 Yeah, Ole Miss is deep with the generational wealth thing. 0:05:52.820 --> 0:05:55.180 I mean, it's a big deal for that part of 0:05:55.220 --> 0:05:55.680 the world. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:56.599 Interesting. 0:05:56.620 --> 0:05:57.180 Yeah. 0:05:57.779 --> 0:06:03.090 Interestingly, this is a Midwestern, a Wisconsin auto dynasty, but, 0:06:03.190 --> 0:06:05.250 you know, it's big money anyway, and a lot of 0:06:05.270 --> 0:06:08.650 folks from the North go South. But so this all 0:06:08.690 --> 0:06:12.289 stems from a complaint in August of this year after 0:06:12.310 --> 0:06:17.900 a Wisconsin woman, a black woman, purchased her car. went 0:06:17.940 --> 0:06:21.560 back months later for the complimentary oil change, and after 0:06:21.620 --> 0:06:24.719 the oil change, the N-word was reportedly printed on the 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.060 service sticker that was placed on her windshield. I'm looking 0:06:28.100 --> 0:06:33.480 at a picture of it right now. So this is interesting. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.760 Because initially I heard, all right, her family's been accused 0:06:38.820 --> 0:06:41.290 of racism. Okay, the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. 0:06:41.310 --> 0:06:46.169 But so what we're supposed to believe now is that 0:06:46.230 --> 0:06:53.890 racism is so... flowed from this executive that mechanics who 0:06:53.950 --> 0:07:00.279 are doing oil changes in wisconsin are are dropping n-bombs 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:05.700 on people for their own amusement or something i don't 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.140 know i don't know. 0:07:08.500 --> 0:07:11.300 So the reason I was in Oxford driving around the 0:07:11.340 --> 0:07:13.780 South one time was to see William Faulkner's house. So 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.500 that's a big literature, literary history town, Oxford, Mississippi. William 0:07:18.540 --> 0:07:21.940 Faulkner's from there. John Grisham, Larry Brown, another author I really, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.380 really like. So they're really the literary scenes really big there. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.760 But it is very fancy town. And it's I mean, 0:07:26.820 --> 0:07:32.420 it's like it's like the poster for old South generational wealth. 0:07:32.460 --> 0:07:34.690 And I'm sure you don't have to go back very 0:07:34.730 --> 0:07:39.179 many generations with a lot of those generational wealth kids 0:07:39.500 --> 0:07:41.460 go to that school where you get to some serious 0:07:41.540 --> 0:07:43.340 racism given the state. 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:44.600 Oh yeah. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:45.160 Yeah. 0:07:45.180 --> 0:07:46.050 A hundred percent. Yeah. 0:07:47.790 --> 0:07:47.930 Yeah. 0:07:48.030 --> 0:07:50.610 If you ever want to read some interesting stuff on that, 0:07:50.650 --> 0:07:53.550 which is also a fabulous, just read. If you're a 0:07:53.550 --> 0:07:57.970 music fan, read Robbie Robertson's autobiography, where he talks about 0:07:58.090 --> 0:08:00.910 being in the South, the deep South with Levon Helms, 0:08:00.950 --> 0:08:03.490 seeking out some of their blues heroes and the way 0:08:03.530 --> 0:08:06.830 they were treated in 1960s because they wanted to associate 0:08:06.850 --> 0:08:07.430 with black men. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:08.450 Wow. 0:08:09.510 --> 0:08:11.820 It's disturbing. It really is disturbing, and it's worth knowing. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.780 One more story about racism, kind of, sort of. Do 0:08:15.300 --> 0:08:21.280 you remember the former North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson? 0:08:21.860 --> 0:08:25.560 He was the Republican lieutenant governor of North Carolina, a 0:08:25.620 --> 0:08:30.780 black fella, called himself a black Nazi on a porn 0:08:30.900 --> 0:08:31.660 message board. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.980 Oh, right. That guy. I didn't remember the name, but 0:08:35.020 --> 0:08:36.620 I remember that weird thing. 0:08:37.390 --> 0:08:39.689 Yeah, I'm a black Nazi, he wrote in 2010. On 0:08:39.870 --> 0:08:44.950 a porn message board of all places. Where you post 0:08:45.030 --> 0:08:48.190 comments on the porn. Boy, I really like the way 0:08:48.270 --> 0:08:50.550 he went with she and they did this. 0:08:50.610 --> 0:08:52.270 What are you doing with your life? 0:08:52.570 --> 0:08:53.590 That was good stuff. 0:08:54.030 --> 0:08:56.100 I'll overlook the fact that you're spending so much time 0:08:56.150 --> 0:08:58.900 watching porn, but then you comment on the video and 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.520 get into arguments with other people. 0:09:00.900 --> 0:09:03.819 Nice job. High five. So let me remind you of 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.939 exactly what this guy said, and then I'll get to 0:09:05.980 --> 0:09:09.339 the story. I'm a black Nazi, he wrote, adding that 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.900 same month slavery is not bad. Some people need to 0:09:11.940 --> 0:09:14.120 be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I 0:09:14.140 --> 0:09:18.949 would certainly buy a few. In other posts, Robinson referred 0:09:18.970 --> 0:09:23.550 to Muslims as, quote, little raghead bastards. Recalled peeping on 0:09:23.610 --> 0:09:26.030 women showering in the public gym for about an hour 0:09:26.090 --> 0:09:29.570 when he was 14. 14 said he enjoyed watching pornography 0:09:29.690 --> 0:09:33.840 featuring transsexual performers. Because it takes the man out while 0:09:33.940 --> 0:09:38.440 leaving the man in. Well, that's a nuanced view, certainly. Whoa. 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.950 That brand of pornography. Well, Jack, I'm afraid he has 0:09:43.030 --> 0:09:44.230 filed for bankruptcy. 0:09:44.550 --> 0:09:44.870 What? 0:09:45.590 --> 0:09:47.710 With he and his wife claiming they had fewer than 0:09:47.710 --> 0:09:48.230 $ 800 to their name. 0:09:48.230 --> 0:09:48.790 $ 800? 0:09:48.510 --> 0:09:49.890 Yeah. He reported having $ 766. 98 in liquid assets while owing 0:09:50.450 --> 0:09:54.949 dollars to their name eight hundred dollars yeah yeah he 0:09:55.010 --> 0:09:57.760 reported having six seven hundred and sixty six dollars and 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.720 ninety eight cents in liquid assets while owing creditors nearly 0:10:00.780 --> 0:10:04.700 eight hundred thousand dollars including approximately one hundred and twenty 0:10:04.740 --> 0:10:07.400 dollars in credit card debt another ninety four thousand another 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.000 debt in about a hundred thousand from collections accounts, and 0:10:10.020 --> 0:10:12.420 a fair number of unpaid porn subscriptions, I'm guessing. 0:10:12.540 --> 0:10:14.939 Well, that's too bad. He should have spent less time 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.240 in the comment section of his porn sites and more 0:10:18.300 --> 0:10:20.420 time brushing up on marketable skills. 0:10:20.940 --> 0:10:23.320 He may have to sell some of his slaves to 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:24.820 cover his bills. Oh, that's right. 0:10:24.940 --> 0:10:25.080 No. 0:10:25.460 --> 0:10:28.560 In spite of his urges, his wishes, as a black man, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.679 we don't have slaves and haven't for quite some time. Wow. 0:10:32.820 --> 0:10:34.380 I got to admit, I didn't know there were comment 0:10:34.420 --> 0:10:39.160 sections for porn videos. What would that I don't know. 0:10:39.910 --> 0:10:43.110 Other than I found that sexually arousing or I didn't. 0:10:43.150 --> 0:10:44.309 We kind of have to assume. 0:10:44.550 --> 0:10:48.589 What would one say? I wonder if some of your 0:10:48.650 --> 0:10:51.650 favorite authors in Mississippi would have an opinion on that. 0:10:51.950 --> 0:10:52.690 Ask Faulkner. 0:10:53.210 --> 0:10:55.830 Oh, I got a tease that'll annoy you. Oh, boy. 0:10:56.309 --> 0:10:57.850 Before we get into our ad here. 0:10:59.309 --> 0:10:59.610 Hit me. 0:11:00.860 --> 0:11:03.400 Brain stacking is the latest way to get away from 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:04.439 doom scrolling. 0:11:04.900 --> 0:11:08.110 Oh, good Lord. Yeah. Everything doesn't need a name. 0:11:08.130 --> 0:11:10.390 Brain stacking. Tired of doom scrolling? 0:11:10.410 --> 0:11:14.570 A clever name. Try brain stacking.

Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:33.730 --> 0:12:35.640 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:12:38.340 --> 0:12:42.280 And finally, Starbucks this week unveiled a new snow-capped marshmallow mocha, 0:12:42.340 --> 0:12:47.630 which features espresso mocha sauce, chocolate syrup, milk, melted marshmallow, 0:12:47.730 --> 0:12:51.809 cold foam, and crispy cookie topping. And if you order one, 0:12:51.990 --> 0:12:55.810 maybe it's time to admit you just don't like coffee. 0:12:55.830 --> 0:12:59.059 Yeah. Let's go get a coffee. 0:12:59.740 --> 0:13:00.040 Yeah. 0:13:01.610 --> 0:13:06.910 Brilliant, though. You got to give the, what's his name? Schwartz? Smith? 0:13:07.070 --> 0:13:07.770 Something like that. 0:13:07.970 --> 0:13:11.449 Howard Schwartz. 0:13:12.470 --> 0:13:20.060 Brilliant to let people feel like they're going to get 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.760 a cup of coffee. That's normal. There's nothing out of 0:13:21.780 --> 0:13:23.819 bounds about that when you're having a milkshake for breakfast. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.700 They noticed that the women were ordering milkshakes, essentially, and said, 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.140 let's be a milkshake shop. You can't open a store 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.360 that says, who wants to have milkshakes for breakfast? Because 0:13:32.420 --> 0:13:34.180 nobody wants to think bad about themselves. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:35.360 Right. 0:13:38.059 --> 0:13:38.439 Wow. 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.980 Coming up a little more on Jensen Huang, the guy 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:48.449 who used to run NVIDIA. And there are a lot 0:13:48.470 --> 0:13:51.870 of people reading Glenn Beck's post from yesterday, what he 0:13:51.890 --> 0:13:55.319 was talking about on his radio show. Just there's a 0:13:55.340 --> 0:13:56.840 fair amount of people out there that think this is 0:13:56.860 --> 0:14:05.300 a little too convenient. So you got Anthropic and Elon 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.420 and a variety are saying we need to put guardrails 0:14:07.540 --> 0:14:10.449 on this. It's going to ruin mankind, kill us all, 0:14:10.490 --> 0:14:12.530 all the different sorts of stuff. And Jensen was was 0:14:12.610 --> 0:14:14.170 not a doomer. He was more of a no full 0:14:14.210 --> 0:14:16.850 speed ahead and blah, blah, blah. And then the powerful 0:14:16.929 --> 0:14:21.100 brought him down. brought him down. So he has a 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.920 girlfriend who happens to be Chinese and all of a 0:14:23.970 --> 0:14:28.130 sudden she's a spy is the angle that a lot 0:14:28.170 --> 0:14:30.950 of people are taking. And I don't know if it's 0:14:30.970 --> 0:14:34.050 just people who enjoy conspiracies or they actually believe that 0:14:34.170 --> 0:14:35.550 or what. 0:14:35.590 --> 0:14:39.030 The key to being a conspiracy pitcher of one sort 0:14:39.090 --> 0:14:43.440 or another from Glenn, who I think usually his heart's 0:14:43.460 --> 0:14:45.860 in the right place, but we haven't known him for years, 0:14:45.900 --> 0:14:52.410 but to the utter soulless scum grifters, is that what 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:57.460 is apparently true can never be true. You've got to 0:14:57.580 --> 0:15:01.020 constantly sell this idea that I know better than the mainstream, 0:15:01.060 --> 0:15:03.100 and if you listen to me, then you'll know better 0:15:03.140 --> 0:15:05.400 than the mainstream, and you'll be much, much smarter. Some 0:15:05.420 --> 0:15:07.800 things are precisely what they appear to be. 0:15:10.140 --> 0:15:14.120 Spend too much time doom-scrolling? Maybe you need to start brain-stacking. 0:15:14.140 --> 0:15:15.360 Oh, boing. 0:15:15.870 --> 0:15:17.150 Actually a good idea i don't know why it needs 0:15:17.190 --> 0:15:19.130 this name but and i kind of do this myself 0:15:19.970 --> 0:15:22.250 it's a gen z trend that grew out of last 0:15:22.270 --> 0:15:25.050 year's analog revival the idea is to keep a small 0:15:25.150 --> 0:15:28.410 pile of offline things within reach at all times a 0:15:28.470 --> 0:15:32.550 stack a book a magazine a crossword a notebook so 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.360 that when you feel the urge to grab your phone 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.920 within reach there's something else you can grab from your 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.050 pile Brain maxing instead of doom scrolling. The concept is 0:15:41.210 --> 0:15:42.910 proactive stacking, right? 0:15:43.070 --> 0:15:45.240 You got to have the name. What did I see name? 0:15:45.290 --> 0:15:47.860 It's what it's all about. Brain maxing. No, you're thinking 0:15:47.900 --> 0:15:49.280 of shrimp brain stacking. 0:15:49.780 --> 0:15:50.020 Yes. 0:15:50.540 --> 0:15:52.880 To avoid doom scrolling. It's got nothing to do with 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.140 shrimp maxing, which we talked about earlier in the show. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.140 All right. How about we just call it? Get offline 0:15:58.180 --> 0:15:58.580 now and again. 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.890 Yeah. I do do this. I didn't intentionally do it, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.690 but I keep my book right next to me. It's 0:16:08.750 --> 0:16:11.150 amazing how often, though, and I hate this. Reading is 0:16:11.190 --> 0:16:15.310 my favorite thing to do that doesn't require a willing participant. 0:16:16.190 --> 0:16:20.010 Reading is my favorite thing to do. And it's amazing 0:16:20.050 --> 0:16:21.450 how often I get to bed. I got into bed 0:16:21.510 --> 0:16:23.690 early while I could probably knock out a whole chapter 0:16:23.710 --> 0:16:26.010 of whatever it is I'm reading at the time. Just 0:16:26.030 --> 0:16:28.650 got to check my phone real quick. Next thing I know, 0:16:28.730 --> 0:16:30.670 I've been on it for too long. Now I'm tired. 0:16:30.690 --> 0:16:33.230 I'm going to go to sleep. Freaking hate when I 0:16:33.270 --> 0:16:37.270 do that. So maddening. And it must be a common thing. 0:16:38.300 --> 0:16:40.600 But I do keep the book really handy right there. 0:16:40.900 --> 0:16:41.600 Hopefully I grab it. 0:16:42.330 --> 0:16:43.210 I got to stop myself. 0:16:43.230 --> 0:16:46.030 It's always show prep. I think I need to just check. 0:16:46.050 --> 0:16:48.090 Are there any headlines I need to know for tomorrow? 0:16:48.290 --> 0:16:49.910 But then I get sucked into something. 0:16:50.270 --> 0:16:53.450 Yeah, it's like a professional FOMO. I suffer from that myself. 0:16:54.130 --> 0:16:56.250 You don't want to miss the big story or the 0:16:56.330 --> 0:16:59.230 great angle or the really clever take or whatever. 0:17:00.090 --> 0:17:00.380 Right. 0:17:00.910 --> 0:17:03.730 Right, right, right. So.... 0:17:07.190 --> 0:17:09.370 Do you buy any of that with the whole Jensen Wang? 0:17:09.390 --> 0:17:12.290 This is a setup. They're trying to bring him down 0:17:12.609 --> 0:17:21.129 because he was one of the super pro AI. No limits, guys. 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.260 No, no, no. That seems like a real stretch to me. 0:17:24.300 --> 0:17:26.300 I'm not saying that there's not more than meets the 0:17:26.420 --> 0:17:32.600 eye because we're talking about, you know, gigantic, important industries 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.399 and the people who run them and intelligence services and 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.169 the Chinese government. Communist Party and the rest of it. So, yeah, 0:17:38.230 --> 0:17:40.610 there's all sorts of skullduggery going on. But, I mean, 0:17:41.369 --> 0:17:46.189 NVIDIA and through Wong's leadership is so involved in so 0:17:46.210 --> 0:17:49.399 many of these companies, like financially involved. So the idea 0:17:49.460 --> 0:17:52.440 that let's bring down NVIDIA and then we'll be able 0:17:52.460 --> 0:17:55.300 to advance our scurrilous plans. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:18:01.010 Isn't Occam's razor 100% send a Chinese spy a honeypot 0:18:01.109 --> 0:18:05.149 at him because they're trying to catch us? In the 0:18:05.190 --> 0:18:07.190 biggest race for technology in the history of the world? 0:18:07.270 --> 0:18:07.870 I mean, that's just. 0:18:08.690 --> 0:18:10.830 Yes. That's what I would do if I were a 0:18:10.850 --> 0:18:11.470 commie dog. 0:18:11.650 --> 0:18:14.550 That's not a crazy plan. That's like the most obvious one. 0:18:15.210 --> 0:18:15.570 Right. 0:18:16.070 --> 0:18:16.290 Yeah. 0:18:16.310 --> 0:18:18.179 Okay, we got more on all this stuff coming up. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.040 If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:18:20.060 --> 0:18:20.919 Getty On Demand. 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:24.859 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:35.450 --> 0:18:37.330 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.800 Lambert had a long-running dispute with his condo association and 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.710 had filed a lawsuit complaining about mice, water damage, and mold. 0:18:47.830 --> 0:18:50.619 It sounded like He was kind of desperate for someone 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:51.540 just to hear him out. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.240 The suspect sat down for a series of articles on 0:18:54.270 --> 0:18:57.350 the condition of his apartment with Michael Bryce Sandler. 0:18:57.710 --> 0:18:58.950 He felt like he'd been wronged. 0:18:59.010 --> 0:19:02.109 Lambert describing his relationship with James Stewart and the building 0:19:02.150 --> 0:19:04.490 management as psychological torture. 0:19:04.650 --> 0:19:08.869 How about that weird story? Guy was a doctor and 0:19:08.910 --> 0:19:11.880 had a dispute with the guy who manages his building 0:19:11.900 --> 0:19:14.369 where he rents And he ends up going into the 0:19:14.430 --> 0:19:16.429 gym and shooting him, then go up and up the 0:19:16.530 --> 0:19:18.470 seventh floor or whatever it is and shoot people on 0:19:18.490 --> 0:19:20.810 the street and set it on fire. What a kook. 0:19:21.470 --> 0:19:24.930 And off at himself. I'd say he's a kook. Yeah, 0:19:24.950 --> 0:19:29.119 just because you're good at science and MD doesn't mean 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.280 you're not a kook. Wow. 0:19:30.540 --> 0:19:31.060 No kidding. 0:19:31.619 --> 0:19:34.240 Yeah. There are more productive ways to deal with a dispute. 0:19:35.180 --> 0:19:38.580 So a couple of a handful of foreign stories here 0:19:38.660 --> 0:19:41.600 are friends, enemies and allies around the world that I 0:19:41.619 --> 0:19:45.660 found interesting. Good analysis by Thomas Grove and Marcus Walker 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.350 in the journal about Putin and Russia and Ukraine. They 0:19:49.450 --> 0:19:53.190 posit that Putin had four plans to defeat Ukraine and 0:19:53.230 --> 0:19:57.280 only two of them are left. The first two, Ukraine's 0:19:57.340 --> 0:20:02.540 army will break. We'll just invade and win. Nope. Or 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.480 that the Trump administration is going to force Kiev to 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:10.040 submit to Moscow's terms. That's not going well. Trump has 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.600 said a number of things and denied aid of various 0:20:13.700 --> 0:20:16.580 sorts that have bothered those of us who support Ukraine 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.700 a great deal. But especially with the Democrats coming into Congress, 0:20:20.340 --> 0:20:22.979 I don't think it's going to go that way. But 0:20:23.340 --> 0:20:25.580 Putin's other two bets have a better chance of succeeding 0:20:25.619 --> 0:20:30.359 by next year, paralyzing Ukraine's economy with relentless missile and 0:20:30.420 --> 0:20:35.909 drone strikes and terrifying the populace into submitting. and waiting 0:20:35.970 --> 0:20:39.540 for European support to falter as political parties that oppose 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:45.680 aid for Ukraine gain popularity. They mentioned that the U.S.-mediated 0:20:45.740 --> 0:20:48.840 talks in Abu Dhabi, which is what a waste of time, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.580 showed that the Kremlin remains committed to its original war aims, 0:20:52.700 --> 0:20:57.950 dismembering and subjugating Ukraine and rewriting Europe's post-Cold War order. Quote, 0:20:58.350 --> 0:21:00.810 all of the objectives we have set for ourselves will 0:21:00.850 --> 0:21:03.350 be achieved, said Moscow's lead negotiator. 0:21:03.580 --> 0:21:05.379 Yeah, I've been wanting to talk about that today just 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.700 because I heard that report that they made statements yesterday 0:21:08.740 --> 0:21:11.720
