WEBVTT - I'm Feeling Pretty Thrivey 0:00:09.220 --> 0:00:13.080 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:13.100 --> 0:00:15.090 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:15.140 --> 0:00:17.349 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:17.530 --> 0:00:18.890 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:19.070 --> 0:00:24.579 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:30.690 --> 0:00:35.690 So in light of the Shane Gillis controversial Saturday Night 0:00:35.750 --> 0:00:39.630 Live monologue in which he hatefully attacked women and did 0:00:39.770 --> 0:00:42.810 so much damage across the country to the fairer sex. 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.080 Here's Jimmy Kimmel commenting on Trump's new White House press secretary. 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.460 I want to introduce you to the new kid. 0:00:49.909 --> 0:00:50.659 In Trump land. 0:00:50.700 --> 0:00:53.980 It was the first day of kindergarten for the new 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.400 White House press secretary, Katie Zachariah. In order to keep 0:00:57.460 --> 0:00:59.760 him awake and interested, every six months they bring in 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.580 a new fawning blonde adult. 0:01:02.220 --> 0:01:03.590 To add to the rotation. 0:01:04.430 --> 0:01:06.610 Things did not get off to a great start for 0:01:06.790 --> 0:01:10.369 Malibu Katie today. Her first briefing was brief. It was 0:01:10.430 --> 0:01:12.790 only 14 minutes long, but even in that short time, 0:01:12.810 --> 0:01:15.410 she accomplished exactly what she was brought in to do, 0:01:15.690 --> 0:01:18.459 which is slobber a whole tube of lip gloss all 0:01:18.540 --> 0:01:20.290 over the president's Behind. 0:01:20.830 --> 0:01:22.650 And really, that's all it takes nowadays. 0:01:23.330 --> 0:01:25.590 All it takes is that and dressing like you're about 0:01:25.630 --> 0:01:28.670 to announce pre-boarding on a Delta Airlines flight. 0:01:29.860 --> 0:01:34.440 Commenting on a woman's appearance. Insulting her intelligence over and 0:01:34.459 --> 0:01:34.800 over again. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:35.100 Yes. 0:01:35.300 --> 0:01:39.319 Oh, my God. Calling her a prostitute for the president. Yes. Man, 0:01:39.540 --> 0:01:43.800 I am. So since Saturday, which I watched the Shane 0:01:43.819 --> 0:01:47.720 Gillis thing live. and then played it for my kids, 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.540 and I didn't even consider that this would turn into 0:01:51.580 --> 0:01:56.240 a controversy. Has it really? That's how it landed with me. 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.580 But since it has become a controversy and the hateful, misogynistic, well, 0:02:02.620 --> 0:02:04.650 they talked about it on The View for an hour yesterday. 0:02:04.670 --> 0:02:07.090 It's the number one daytime TV show. Oh, my God. 0:02:07.110 --> 0:02:09.630 About how awful it was and how hurtful it was. 0:02:10.810 --> 0:02:13.450 So many people have brought up the various Saturday Night 0:02:13.530 --> 0:02:19.089 Live bits where they insult... Every white male in America 0:02:19.270 --> 0:02:21.989 or every Republican voter or everyone in the South, whatever, 0:02:22.030 --> 0:02:27.240 and a perfectly comfortable calling you a Nazi, a racist, whatever. 0:02:29.300 --> 0:02:31.200 And that's just funny because the crowd laughs like crazy. 0:02:32.419 --> 0:02:34.780 But the saying women dress like whores at the gym, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.530 which many women do, is somehow out of bounds, which, 0:02:38.710 --> 0:02:38.870 you know. 0:02:39.850 --> 0:02:44.149 Well, look, it's the permanently aggrieved set. It's the always 0:02:44.270 --> 0:02:45.130 offended set. 0:02:45.230 --> 0:02:46.170 Shut up. I don't care. 0:02:46.230 --> 0:02:49.650 That's the only proper response to these people. Please, it's 0:02:49.710 --> 0:02:50.809 a power grab. 0:02:51.230 --> 0:02:53.130 I'd like to... You're a bad person. You have to 0:02:53.169 --> 0:02:53.809 be quiet now. 0:02:53.910 --> 0:02:55.970 That's what every single message is. 0:02:56.350 --> 0:02:58.430 Shane Gillis is on podcasts all the time. I don't 0:02:58.450 --> 0:03:00.890 know if he's done one since Saturday. I'd like to 0:03:00.910 --> 0:03:03.330 know what he thinks of this. I would guess he's 0:03:03.370 --> 0:03:06.450 not digging it, really, just because he tries to be 0:03:06.630 --> 0:03:10.200 not really political. He doesn't want to be... And why 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.730 would you want to be coded one way or the other? 0:03:13.770 --> 0:03:16.270 But he certainly doesn't want to get coded Republican. And 0:03:16.310 --> 0:03:17.989 then all of a sudden, oh, you're going to see 0:03:18.010 --> 0:03:19.910 the Trump comic, you know, that sort of thing, how 0:03:19.970 --> 0:03:22.530 everybody puts you in a camp and then that's where 0:03:22.570 --> 0:03:23.880 you are for the rest of your life. 0:03:24.540 --> 0:03:26.799 Yeah, well, I would counsel Mr. Gillis as if he 0:03:26.900 --> 0:03:30.350 needs my counsel. You can't win with these people. So 0:03:30.410 --> 0:03:33.210 don't adjust what you're doing one iota. They're going to 0:03:33.270 --> 0:03:36.230 label you no matter what you do. Again, it's an 0:03:36.330 --> 0:03:37.550 effort to silence. 0:03:37.630 --> 0:03:40.030 That's what all of it is. I like one of 0:03:40.070 --> 0:03:42.030 his jokes where he says, I know what I look like. 0:03:42.310 --> 0:03:43.680 I know what I look like. I know my body 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:50.360 type screams. Let's wait until the body cam video comes out. See, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:50.880 that's the thing. 0:03:50.900 --> 0:03:52.460 That's the brilliant part of a lot of those jokes 0:03:52.500 --> 0:03:54.830 was he always ended up being the butt of the joke. 0:03:55.010 --> 0:03:55.130 Yeah. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.050 You know, I'm a fool, I'm flabby, I am actually 0:03:59.350 --> 0:04:02.170 gaping at the women at the gym, whatever. He was always, 0:04:02.290 --> 0:04:05.350 but see, that proves it. You can't win with these people. 0:04:05.650 --> 0:04:09.940 They're professional scolds. They're 24-7 scolds. 0:04:10.090 --> 0:04:12.560 Screw them. Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. 0:04:12.580 --> 0:04:14.590 And in this case, they're not. They're idiots. Shut up. 0:04:14.780 --> 0:04:18.240 I don't care. Shut up. I don't care. That's the response. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.880 I wonder if a lot of the podcasts who have 0:04:20.900 --> 0:04:22.790 him on all the time are all of a sudden 0:04:22.810 --> 0:04:24.700 going to think, ah, we better not have Shane Gillis on. 0:04:27.620 --> 0:04:33.080 A lot of our crowd thinks he's a right-winger misogynist. Yeah, 0:04:33.180 --> 0:04:34.440 I wonder. I wonder. 0:04:34.740 --> 0:04:39.730 I'm so not in that world that the so-called controversy 0:04:39.750 --> 0:04:42.130 to me sounds like, please, where is it? 0:04:43.130 --> 0:04:47.390 Stop it. I don't know. I'm just tired of these people. 0:04:47.490 --> 0:04:50.690 I know their game. As I've said, but you know 0:04:50.730 --> 0:04:53.669 how these things get coded like masks or vaccines or 0:04:53.770 --> 0:04:57.469 people or sports. But there's nothing you can do about it. 0:04:58.810 --> 0:05:01.450 Because the scolds will scold scolds going to scold. That's 0:05:01.470 --> 0:05:03.990 what I say. Oh, speaking of scolding. Yeah. 0:05:04.089 --> 0:05:09.180 Katie Zachariah's debut was a little rough. She sounded really nervous. 0:05:09.210 --> 0:05:11.960 She misspoke a couple of times. But number one, it's 0:05:11.980 --> 0:05:14.659 her first day in an incredibly high pressure. 0:05:14.700 --> 0:05:15.560 Where's her law degree? 0:05:16.390 --> 0:05:19.430 Well, yeah, that's the other thing. She graduated from Pepperdine 0:05:19.470 --> 0:05:21.620 Law but did not pass the bar. She only took 0:05:21.740 --> 0:05:23.880 one hack at it. Then she and her husband got 0:05:23.900 --> 0:05:26.880 married and moved to China and decided not to come back. 0:05:26.980 --> 0:05:32.390 And she's called herself a lawyer at times. I don't 0:05:32.430 --> 0:05:33.290 really care. 0:05:33.310 --> 0:05:37.990 Well, Trump thought she was a lawyer because he was 0:05:38.130 --> 0:05:41.100 asked the– So the press got on this fast. We 0:05:41.140 --> 0:05:43.039 should have gotten the clip. We got on this fast, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.480 like moments after her first appearance the other day. Trump 0:05:46.500 --> 0:05:49.250 was asked on the rope line, hey, where where did 0:05:49.290 --> 0:05:50.990 she get her? Where did she pass the bar? What 0:05:51.029 --> 0:05:52.570 state she passed the bar? And Trump turns to me, said, 0:05:52.610 --> 0:05:53.990 where did you pass the bar? They want to know. 0:05:54.790 --> 0:05:57.919 And she said something about China that made no sense. 0:05:58.010 --> 0:06:01.480 After I went to China. Yeah. Which is not an answer. 0:06:02.029 --> 0:06:04.190 to where did you pass the bar and trump just 0:06:04.210 --> 0:06:06.950 said after she went to china so but then i'll 0:06:06.970 --> 0:06:09.070 bet he was thinking because he knows how these things 0:06:09.089 --> 0:06:13.070 work i bet he thought uh-oh what's going on here it's. 0:06:12.970 --> 0:06:14.970 Not a good look absolutely not a good you don't 0:06:15.010 --> 0:06:16.370 have to be a lawyer to be a white house 0:06:16.390 --> 0:06:20.580 press secretary i'm thinking probably most of them not hardly 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:21.960 any of them ever have been i don't know if 0:06:22.020 --> 0:06:24.039 any of them have ever been a lawyer you don't 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.500 need to be a lawyer you usually come out of 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.210 the media Has nothing to. 0:06:27.190 --> 0:06:27.750 Do with the job. 0:06:27.810 --> 0:06:29.630 It's just, again, it's not a great look if you're 0:06:29.650 --> 0:06:31.390 calling yourself a lawyer for years and years and you 0:06:31.420 --> 0:06:32.150 never pass the bar. 0:06:32.500 --> 0:06:34.560 And one of her old professors, just to stand up 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.679 for the lovely, what's her name? I haven't even memorized 0:06:37.700 --> 0:06:42.020 her name yet. One of her old professors at Pepperdine said, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.980 all I remember about her is she was a good student. 0:06:44.020 --> 0:06:46.860 And by the way, many great legal minds never took 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.990 the bar. Right. Including judges. 0:06:49.170 --> 0:06:49.350 Yeah. 0:06:49.830 --> 0:06:51.470 You don't have to be a great legal mind to 0:06:51.510 --> 0:06:53.359 be the White House press secretary, by the way. We're 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.339 we're like jumping to some sort of thing that doesn't exist. 0:06:56.779 --> 0:06:56.940 Right. 0:06:56.980 --> 0:06:57.340 Exactly. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:57.580 Yeah. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.720 And the other thing was she was juggling her family's 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.760 move to Washington, had less than 24 hours to prepare. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.360 She got her briefing materials that morning, according to a 0:07:07.420 --> 0:07:12.280 senior administration official. And several former press secretaries have come 0:07:12.380 --> 0:07:13.020 out and said. 0:07:13.860 --> 0:07:16.080 Why did they throw her out there on her first day? 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:17.790 You got to ease into that job. 0:07:17.830 --> 0:07:21.950 That's a hard job. Well, but here's here's my here's 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.420 my go ahead. 0:07:23.660 --> 0:07:27.060 You've got a well. I'm not looking for scandal around this. 0:07:27.260 --> 0:07:30.179 I don't really care. But according to the Wall Street Journal, 0:07:30.380 --> 0:07:33.990 the bigger story is, did she pass herself off as 0:07:34.030 --> 0:07:37.350 an attorney in China? It would seem that the Chinese 0:07:37.530 --> 0:07:40.710 thought she was an attorney. You don't need to have 0:07:40.790 --> 0:07:43.970 a U.S. pass the bar to do this in China 0:07:43.990 --> 0:07:46.650 or whatever. But she may have been portraying herself. So 0:07:46.730 --> 0:07:51.540 Mark Halpern wrote today, the whole... Did she pass the 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.800 bar at Pepperdine is not a story. Some of this 0:07:53.860 --> 0:07:57.140 other stuff might turn into a story. So keep your 0:07:57.220 --> 0:07:58.920 eye on that, I guess. That's funny. I didn't at all. 0:07:59.420 --> 0:08:03.040 I didn't really take that from the journal article. But anyway, 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.900 what I was going to say is this just illustrates 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:11.730 the the obsession, the self-obsession in Washington, D.C. Why are 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:16.110 we all talking about this? The person who walks out. says, yeah, 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:21.530 the president's new agriculture policy is expected to bring more soybeans, blah, blah, blah. 0:08:21.750 --> 0:08:22.550 What does that have to do? 0:08:22.790 --> 0:08:25.030 I mean, you had to be such a politics junkie 0:08:25.450 --> 0:08:28.770 not terribly long ago to have any clue who Ari 0:08:28.870 --> 0:08:32.490 Fleischer was or any of the many folks whose names 0:08:32.550 --> 0:08:34.890 don't leap to mind for the reasons I'm describing. 0:08:34.990 --> 0:08:38.130 You're 100% right, and I retract everything I said and 0:08:38.170 --> 0:08:42.030 wish I hadn't brought it up because who freaking cares? Yeah, okay. Well, 0:08:42.050 --> 0:08:44.230 that was a very long segment that was intended to 0:08:44.270 --> 0:08:48.010 be Who cares about this story? And I ruined it. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.220 And I take full responsibility. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:50.760 No, no, no. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.620 I take 85% responsibility. Wow. I'm going to leave 15% 0:08:55.620 --> 0:08:57.880 of responsibility on the table for anybody who wants to 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:58.240 grab it. 0:08:58.980 --> 0:09:01.950 Michael, if you could transcribe that, print that out. Michael 0:09:01.970 --> 0:09:03.420 took the 15%. 0:09:03.420 --> 0:09:03.730 And Mr. 0:09:03.780 --> 0:09:08.710 Armstrong signed that statement at the next break. Talked about 0:09:08.750 --> 0:09:14.870 this briefly last hour. San Francisco Playground. There's probably human 0:09:14.929 --> 0:09:18.030 feces all over the place. That's gotten worse in the Tenderloin, 0:09:18.330 --> 0:09:20.390 according to a new report. But we're not here to 0:09:20.410 --> 0:09:20.730 talk about poop. 0:09:20.770 --> 0:09:21.810 That's not possible. 0:09:22.270 --> 0:09:22.790 It is possible. 0:09:23.030 --> 0:09:25.670 To get worse? Where there's a will, there's a way, Jack. 0:09:26.050 --> 0:09:27.439 How could it be worse? 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.380 At the Bums and Junkies meeting, they said, look, folks, 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.920 we're doing a good job of pooping in the streets. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:41.699 But not good enough. Right?

Wow. 0:10:47.940 --> 0:10:52.300 It sounds to me like you're suggesting that women will 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.210 alter their standards based on a man's finances. 0:10:55.790 --> 0:10:56.670 That's shocking. 0:10:57.510 --> 0:11:00.890 Here's a financial story worth taking a look at. The 0:11:00.910 --> 0:11:06.680 housing market, the crazy kind of constipated housing market is 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.030 about to loosen up. 0:11:08.650 --> 0:11:12.080 Ew. I so regret that metaphor. Why did you need to? 0:11:12.110 --> 0:11:14.170 I really do. Why did you need to turn? Yeah, Katie, 0:11:14.250 --> 0:11:16.730 I agree. Hey, wipe that look on your face, sister. 0:11:17.220 --> 0:11:21.020 I miss who I was before you said that. 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.000 Why take an economic story and turn it toilet related? 0:11:24.059 --> 0:11:27.340 I don't understand that. It was stopped up. The housing 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.660 market's not moving. It's not getting better. It's off the 0:11:29.700 --> 0:11:32.760 top of my head. I just big shovel digging hole. 0:11:34.510 --> 0:11:38.589 But will the laxative of lower rates. 0:11:39.929 --> 0:11:43.589 Stop him? All right. All right. Here's the actual story. 0:11:43.710 --> 0:11:46.449 All right. I feel like. 0:11:48.330 --> 0:11:51.430 I feel like perhaps the other side of the break 0:11:51.490 --> 0:11:54.660 is the time to actually talk about this.

The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:18.940 --> 0:13:23.400 President Trump is expressing doubts about live streaming the execution 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.560 of the Fort Hood shooter, who is, after all, in 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.200 a wheelchair. I mean, the least they can do is 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.160 give him a head start. 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:36.480 Oh, there you go. We have an update on that story. 0:13:36.500 --> 0:13:38.440 I was listening to a podcast yesterday where they were 0:13:38.460 --> 0:13:42.760 talking about this, the televising, the execution. The guy is 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.979 in a wheelchair, paralyzed because of the, did he get shot? Yeah. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.500 Too bad he didn't die at the time would have 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.740 saved us all this trouble. But anyway, how do you 0:13:51.780 --> 0:13:54.460 do that in a way that doesn't look extra gruesome? 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.370 Do you leave him in a wheelchair and execute a 0:13:57.410 --> 0:13:59.690 guy sitting in a wheelchair? Do some people come out 0:13:59.730 --> 0:14:01.630 and lift him out of the wheelchair since he can't 0:14:01.690 --> 0:14:04.390 walk on his own and like set him in a chair? 0:14:04.450 --> 0:14:06.970 That doesn't look good either. Anyway, none of that matters. 0:14:07.330 --> 0:14:09.590 As Donald Trump has just announced, this is breaking news. 0:14:09.929 --> 0:14:13.189 The execution of the Fort Hood terrorist Nadal Hassan will 0:14:13.230 --> 0:14:18.429 not be live streamed. Will not. Be watchable. Right, right. Well, 0:14:18.500 --> 0:14:20.840 it was a ridiculous idea, and it was never going 0:14:20.860 --> 0:14:22.760 to happen. So now it's official. But that is, you've 0:14:22.780 --> 0:14:27.880 got to admit, that is a visual nightmare, kind of. No, 0:14:27.900 --> 0:14:29.420 it could be stage managed. You don't think so? How 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:30.880 would you do it? FDR got away with it for 0:14:30.900 --> 0:14:35.570 an entire administration or two. Stage managed. You lift him 0:14:35.620 --> 0:14:37.150 out of it, put him in the chair before you 0:14:37.170 --> 0:14:39.250 go to the live stream? Exactly. Okay. 0:14:39.270 --> 0:14:40.030 Yeah, yeah. 0:14:40.390 --> 0:14:42.310 Mm-hmm. All right. 0:14:42.890 --> 0:14:45.770 So back to the housing market. 0:14:45.790 --> 0:14:51.730 It's so interesting right now. The constipated housing market? That's it. Yep. 0:14:51.790 --> 0:14:54.880 That's the one. The interest rates are going to loosen 0:14:54.900 --> 0:15:00.020 things up so much I'm going to need a diaper. Oh, okay. Wow. Wow, Katie. 0:15:00.140 --> 0:15:02.300 Now who's the bad guy? I think he's out of 0:15:02.340 --> 0:15:04.700 control today. Are you all right? 0:15:06.340 --> 0:15:06.520 Hmm. 0:15:06.540 --> 0:15:08.360 I thought we got past that. 0:15:08.380 --> 0:15:14.040 Yeah. You've got like a you're a maniac. So the 0:15:14.220 --> 0:15:16.320 housing market's weird. It's long been a hobby of mine 0:15:16.340 --> 0:15:18.360 to follow real estate. I bought and sold a bunch 0:15:18.380 --> 0:15:18.580 of houses. 0:15:18.660 --> 0:15:23.370 I'm just really interested in it. I've never seen anything 0:15:23.390 --> 0:15:23.710 like this. 0:15:24.170 --> 0:15:27.630 There is a wide gap between the number of sellers 0:15:27.770 --> 0:15:30.450 and buyers in the housing market right now. You got 0:15:30.470 --> 0:15:32.670 a million and a half Americans trying to sell their homes. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.260 and only about 929 who are buying. So that should 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.760 mean housing prices would drop, especially because higher interest rates 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.920 put pressure downward. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.460 On housing prices. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.850 Because look, if all I can afford is $ 3, 000 a month, 0:15:48.290 --> 0:15:50.010 it doesn't really matter to me how much of that 0:15:50.090 --> 0:15:51.770 is the price and how much of that is the 0:15:51.830 --> 0:15:54.190 interest rate. That's all the money I got, for instance. 0:15:54.450 --> 0:15:58.030 So it puts downward pressure on houses. And so housing 0:15:58.620 --> 0:16:03.550 prices should be tumbling, but they're not. They're starting to 0:16:03.630 --> 0:16:07.750 show weakness as about a third of folks who had 0:16:07.790 --> 0:16:12.720 the old ultra cheap mortgages don't have the, I'm sorry, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.520 but today more than a third of outstanding home loans 0:16:15.780 --> 0:16:20.440 have a rate above 5%. So at least a third 0:16:20.460 --> 0:16:25.720 of them aren't the ultra cheapos and those are more 0:16:25.780 --> 0:16:29.330 likely to be sold. But here's the really, really weird part. 0:16:30.990 --> 0:16:33.460 The number of people who put their house on the 0:16:33.500 --> 0:16:37.280 market then say, never mind, is at an all-time high. 0:16:38.100 --> 0:16:40.700 If they can't get the price they want, they just say, yeah, 0:16:40.740 --> 0:16:43.420 we'll stay, I guess. 0:16:43.610 --> 0:16:45.850 That's an interesting situation to be in. 0:16:46.370 --> 0:16:50.470 Yeah, other than divorces and job transfers and death and 0:16:50.510 --> 0:16:53.430 that sort of thing. People are just not selling in 0:16:53.470 --> 0:16:56.110 the normal ways and in the normal intervals, at least 0:16:56.170 --> 0:16:56.670 for now. 0:16:56.770 --> 0:16:58.770 Isn't people just wanting to see what they could get 0:16:58.810 --> 0:17:00.470 for it? And if they got enough money, they'd go 0:17:00.490 --> 0:17:03.230 ahead and move? Because I've never moved just for the 0:17:03.250 --> 0:17:06.850 hell of it. So I don't know what that is. 0:17:06.869 --> 0:17:10.649 Well, I think people do have a certain expectation what 0:17:10.690 --> 0:17:13.910 their house is worth, and often it's unrealistic. But especially 0:17:13.990 --> 0:17:16.250 since housing prices have been pretty high for a pretty 0:17:16.290 --> 0:17:20.649 long time, if you bought three, four years ago and– 0:17:21.850 --> 0:17:24.750 You realize nobody can give you anything close to what 0:17:24.790 --> 0:17:26.070 you thought you might be able to get. 0:17:26.090 --> 0:17:28.450 You just stay put. Every move I've ever made in 0:17:28.470 --> 0:17:33.290 my life, though, is job, school district, something. It was 0:17:33.310 --> 0:17:35.090 a reason, wasn't it? Just like list it and if 0:17:35.130 --> 0:17:36.450 it doesn't sell, we'll just stay here, I guess. 0:17:37.010 --> 0:17:40.149 Right. So you've got this huge oversupply of houses for 0:17:40.230 --> 0:17:42.330 sale and an undersupply of buyers. I mean, come on, 0:17:42.350 --> 0:17:44.410 supply and demand. Econ 101, right? 0:17:44.450 --> 0:17:45.369 Except it's not happening. 0:17:45.970 --> 0:17:49.050 In September, 6% of sellers pulled their property off the 0:17:49.070 --> 0:17:52.570 market after failing to get an acceptable offer. In Chicago, 0:17:52.630 --> 0:17:54.709 it was 18% of homes. 0:17:55.890 --> 0:17:58.450 Every state's different. Every town's different. And then even within 0:17:58.510 --> 0:18:00.590 a town, you can have different markets going on within 0:18:00.609 --> 0:18:03.469 the same town. So it's all anecdotal evidence, you know, 0:18:03.530 --> 0:18:05.710 for individuals. But, man, there's a lot of signs in 0:18:05.730 --> 0:18:07.710 my town. And there weren't any a couple of years 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.780 ago when I was looking. It'd be like one every 0:18:10.820 --> 0:18:12.560 couple of weeks, and it would last three days. Now 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.480 they're all– there was one corner I drove by the 0:18:14.500 --> 0:18:16.920 other day. There must have been eight signs there competing 0:18:16.940 --> 0:18:18.879 to try to get you to go that way and 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:19.660 go look at the house. 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:20.000 Right. 0:18:20.220 --> 0:18:22.380 Yeah, so check your local numbers, obviously. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:26.700 In Austin, for instance, home values are down 27% from 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:27.620 their peak in 2022. 0:18:27.619 --> 0:18:31.780 Whoa. Yeah. That's what I've been waiting for. I don't 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.720 live in Austin. We've got a lot more on the way. 0:18:35.510 --> 0:18:41.650 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:44.220 --> 0:18:48.219 He posted AI-generated video that shows him chasing and hugging 0:18:48.290 --> 0:18:51.090 a tiger, a video that appears to be a reference 0:18:51.170 --> 0:18:53.429 to an incident this weekend where a man in the U.K. 0:18:53.470 --> 0:18:56.929 was killed by a tiger after entering its enclosure at 0:18:56.950 --> 0:18:57.670 a wildlife park. 0:18:58.130 --> 0:18:58.410 Really? 0:18:58.450 --> 0:19:00.520 It appears to be a reference to that? Hmm, it 0:19:00.540 --> 0:19:04.580 does appear that way. Is that a report on a meme? Yes, 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.460 that was a news report on a meme. I would say, 0:19:07.500 --> 0:19:10.020 you talked the other day that you feel like we're 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:14.369 in a September 10th moment, people regularly... quote how we 0:19:14.390 --> 0:19:16.890 were into shark attacks was the big story right before 0:19:16.930 --> 0:19:19.760 september 11th we weren't paying attention to the world our 0:19:19.859 --> 0:19:24.580 news our mainstream news which few people watch anymore so 0:19:24.660 --> 0:19:27.240 maybe it's not an indication of anything but our mainstream 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.250 news our big evening newscasts are dumber than they've ever 0:19:30.290 --> 0:19:32.590 been ever and i mean i feel like it's gone 0:19:32.630 --> 0:19:34.530 off a cliff just in the last couple of weeks 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.510 with celebrity stories and YouTube videos of the day and 0:19:38.530 --> 0:19:41.550 all that sort of stuff, before they get to, you know, 0:19:41.550 --> 0:19:46.040 President Zelensky and the new diesel policy, will be six stories, 0:19:46.140 --> 0:19:50.740 six celebrity story or memes in before they get to that. 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.020 Something's going on there. So that might just be the 0:19:55.140 --> 0:19:57.600 state of media and have nothing to do with anything else. 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.750 I don't know. I don't watch the news. That's a 0:20:00.790 --> 0:20:01.690 wise decision, son. 0:20:01.730 --> 0:20:03.030 It might have more to do with the state of 0:20:03.050 --> 0:20:07.110
