WEBVTT - I Struggle With Accents 0:00:07.180 --> 0:00:11.040 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:11.060 --> 0:00:13.039 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.860 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:23.910 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:29.170 --> 0:00:32.650 If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the 0:00:32.710 --> 0:00:36.910 United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a 0:00:36.950 --> 0:00:40.449 dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of 0:00:40.530 --> 0:00:45.470 America for $ 5, 000. 0:00:44.550 --> 0:00:45.120 There you go. 0:00:45.170 --> 0:00:48.559 We are not burying the lead. We're doing like what 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.300 they do on a lot of those TV shows. Animal attacks. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.220 And then all the promos have a really exciting animal attack. 0:00:55.500 --> 0:00:57.120 And then you watch the show and find out that's 0:00:57.140 --> 0:01:01.110 the only interesting one there. That's kind of like... Trump 0:01:01.130 --> 0:01:02.890 spoke for about two hours last night. And if you 0:01:02.910 --> 0:01:06.280 like his his act and his riffs, it was the 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.020 normal thing throughout. But that is that is the punch 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.459 line right there. That is going to give every American 0:01:12.700 --> 0:01:17.180 adult citizen five thousand dollars if the Republicans win, which 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:18.759 is a heck of a thing. I got a little 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.060 analysis on that, but let's hear let's hear it couched 0:01:21.100 --> 0:01:23.690 in the in the whole explanation here of what's going on. 0:01:24.250 --> 0:01:27.110 Even though President Trump's name isn't on the ballot this fall, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.480 he is still in full-on campaign mode right now. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.820 He spoke here for nearly two hours straight last night. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.520 I'm sorry, I gave you the wrong number, Michael. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:35.619 42. 0:01:35.620 --> 0:01:39.220 This is the full version of Trump explaining what's going 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:39.520 on here. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.880 Here is my promise. 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.200 If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.390 United States Senate, both. 0:01:47.170 --> 0:01:50.490 Of them, because of our economic. 0:01:51.510 --> 0:01:55.889 Tremendous economic success, like In history, we've never had anything 0:01:55.930 --> 0:01:59.890 like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and 0:02:00.330 --> 0:02:05.710 success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult 0:02:05.750 --> 0:02:11.250 citizen in the United States of America for five thousand dollars. 0:02:11.850 --> 0:02:12.810 Here is my promise. 0:02:14.690 --> 0:02:17.740 OK, so it goes on to say explaining that the 0:02:17.790 --> 0:02:20.660 money is because of the tariffs. We got all that 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.660 money sloshing around because the tariffs have been so successful 0:02:24.300 --> 0:02:28.340 that everybody's getting five thousand dollars back. That doesn't make 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.989 sense on any level whatsoever of the way any of 0:02:33.030 --> 0:02:33.530 this works. 0:02:33.590 --> 0:02:35.950 But so J.D. 0:02:35.970 --> 0:02:38.550 Vance immediately went on Fox and was talking to Brett Baer. 0:02:38.610 --> 0:02:41.410 Brett Baer said five thousand dollars for every adult citizen. 0:02:41.430 --> 0:02:45.310 That's about one point three trillion dollars. The critics will 0:02:45.370 --> 0:02:48.380 say this is, you know. The critics will say the 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.000 president is bribing voters and he's bankrupting the country. 0:02:51.380 --> 0:02:51.639 J.D. 0:02:51.660 --> 0:02:55.150 Vance said tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The 0:02:55.169 --> 0:02:57.010 president is saying if you keep us in power, then 0:02:57.030 --> 0:02:58.910 you will share in some of the benefit of this 0:02:58.970 --> 0:03:03.859 incredible wealth that we have created. That's where we are now. 0:03:04.060 --> 0:03:08.290 If we can discuss it in like. real world, a 0:03:08.370 --> 0:03:11.090 grown up terms like, you know, where's the money coming 0:03:11.150 --> 0:03:13.090 from and whether it's a good idea fiscally and whether 0:03:13.350 --> 0:03:16.660 whether the tariffs are actually generating revenue that's sitting in 0:03:16.690 --> 0:03:19.519 a pot somewhere that you can draw from. But then 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.500 there's also the political thing, which Mark Halperin looks at 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.180 a lot. And he said Trump got what he wanted. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.700 Most of the coverage, especially in local news around the country. 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.579 Frames this as a straightforward presidential idea with none of 0:03:32.620 --> 0:03:35.350 the but it'll cost one point three trillion dollars, but 0:03:35.490 --> 0:03:36.750 tariff money, blah, blah, blah. 0:03:37.050 --> 0:03:38.850 It's just a flat out. 0:03:40.170 --> 0:03:42.830 Trump said that cool and other news and a lot 0:03:42.870 --> 0:03:46.330 of voters are just saying, wow, I'm. 0:03:46.010 --> 0:03:47.730 Going to get five thousand dollars if I get out 0:03:47.770 --> 0:03:52.750 and vote Republican. So politically, it's a win. I appreciate 0:03:52.790 --> 0:03:55.150 for practically the first time in the last 30 years, 0:03:55.210 --> 0:03:59.900 the drive by media's half inch deep coverage. Benefits Republicans. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.880 So that is novel. I was going to say I'd 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.310 be delighted to discuss this, but I'm going to have 0:04:06.330 --> 0:04:11.570 to work to avoid dropping a BSC. That is my 0:04:11.610 --> 0:04:14.150 new acronym I will use to save time in place 0:04:14.190 --> 0:04:25.050 of that. Crazy. Yes. Golly gee, I don't I am 0:04:25.190 --> 0:04:28.480 so disillusioned. I wish I was wearing my F. Yollican 0:04:28.650 --> 0:04:32.620 party T-shirt that I helped Hanson design for those of 0:04:32.700 --> 0:04:35.099 us who just are so disgusted with both the parties. 0:04:35.140 --> 0:04:35.919 We don't know what to do. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:37.580 When. 0:04:39.580 --> 0:04:43.780 Joseph R. Biden, senile Delaware. was telling all of us 0:04:43.860 --> 0:04:47.400 to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. There is, 0:04:48.170 --> 0:04:51.489 there is, these are not the droids you are looking for. 0:04:51.870 --> 0:04:58.289 There is no inflation. Your economic situation is fine. We 0:04:58.610 --> 0:05:02.200 berated him for that. And here's Trump who just, he 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.520 finds it impossible to explain anything more complex than I'm 0:05:08.740 --> 0:05:13.620 going to give you money. He blames Biden for the inflation. Okay, 0:05:13.980 --> 0:05:18.700 take 20 seconds and explain that to people. But he doesn't. 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:20.080 I just, I've had enough. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.880 Well, like, so even the community note on Twitter, which 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.830 is really pretty good, I think, the community notes thing, 0:05:28.770 --> 0:05:33.130 says annual tariff revenue cannot fund a $ 1. 3 billion payout 0:05:33.170 --> 0:05:36.150 and distributed funds requires congressional approval and the money from 0:05:36.170 --> 0:05:38.589 the tariffs actually went to blah, blah, blah. So even the, 0:05:39.380 --> 0:05:44.240 you know, We mentioned last hour, Elon has come out today, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.780 and the story is he's willing to spend up to 0:05:47.779 --> 0:05:53.390 $ 200 million in Texas alone to make sure that Trump's 0:05:53.430 --> 0:05:56.950 win that Senate seat and hang on to the U.S. 0:05:57.010 --> 0:05:57.310 Senate. 0:05:57.390 --> 0:06:00.150 So it's not like Elon's not all in on making 0:06:00.190 --> 0:06:03.469 sure the Republicans and Trump have a good midterm. 0:06:03.870 --> 0:06:07.770 But his groksis, yeah, the whole... That's just. 0:06:07.940 --> 0:06:13.720 There's... There's nothing sensical about this at all. The idea 0:06:13.740 --> 0:06:15.960 that the tariff revenue is coming in and is in 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.640 some sort of fund that you can then draw on 0:06:18.700 --> 0:06:21.799 and pay people out and that the president can decide 0:06:21.860 --> 0:06:26.500 to take $ 5, 000 to give to every citizen. 0:06:26.850 --> 0:06:29.790 None of that is doable. And then the initial promise 0:06:29.810 --> 0:06:32.589 got revised a couple of times within a couple of hours. 0:06:32.850 --> 0:06:34.990 To various income levels. Yeah, it's not for everybody. You 0:06:35.010 --> 0:06:36.410 have to be below. Just floundering. 0:06:36.410 --> 0:06:40.440 150 000 household or whatever the number is yeah to 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.610 get that number down from 1.2 or 1.3 trillion dollars 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.500 but the president doesn't have the power to do this 0:06:45.900 --> 0:06:51.730 it's not even worth talking about really so um this 0:06:51.790 --> 0:06:54.770 is this is what politics all is now yeah it 0:06:54.870 --> 0:06:57.870 always has been to a certain extent if. 0:06:57.830 --> 0:07:02.390 The president had promised to suspend gravity every july 4th 0:07:02.770 --> 0:07:05.570 so we could all flap our arms and fly around 0:07:05.650 --> 0:07:08.710 in celebration of our nation's birthday it would have an 0:07:08.770 --> 0:07:11.000 equal chance of happening as this from. 0:07:10.900 --> 0:07:13.840 Now on every fourth of july in honor of this 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.620 great country we will so i will suspend gravity so 0:07:17.660 --> 0:07:19.770 that you and your children can wave your arms and 0:07:19.890 --> 0:07:22.390 float around this great nation with american flags in your 0:07:22.410 --> 0:07:23.730 hand and. 0:07:23.690 --> 0:07:27.370 View it from above Every American, every adult American, every 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.450 adult American less than $ 150, 000 in joint income filing separately 0:07:31.530 --> 0:07:32.950 as an adult. 0:07:32.970 --> 0:07:34.810 Now, I don't know, do I need to throw in 0:07:34.830 --> 0:07:37.810 this caveat to not make some of you really, really angry? 0:07:38.230 --> 0:07:40.090 The socialists stand up there. 0:07:39.950 --> 0:07:47.440 And say stuff that is absolutely, completely badass, crazy, undoable, immoral. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.940 Hundreds of trillions of dollars of ridiculous promises. Yeah, that 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:59.060 just make no sense whatsoever, but... Oh, no. You know, 0:07:59.070 --> 0:08:01.180 we ought to give a little credit to that side 0:08:01.190 --> 0:08:03.880 of the conversation. There are a couple of notable things 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.660 that happened. Number one, absolutely flogging the Democratic Party for 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:14.840 going socialist slash communist, radical, out of control, every syllable 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:20.760 of which is true. You want to let's hit Tim Scott. Yes. Yeah, 0:08:20.780 --> 0:08:21.920 go ahead. Fifty two, Michael. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:29.130 The only way to keep dangerous, radical, weird out of 0:08:29.170 --> 0:08:34.360 the Senate is a united Republican Party! 0:08:37.580 --> 0:08:41.450 Standing with our President Donald J. 0:08:41.500 --> 0:08:41.800 Trump. 0:08:42.070 --> 0:08:44.910 Stand for the President Donald J. 0:08:44.970 --> 0:08:45.290 Trump. 0:08:45.730 --> 0:08:48.870 This is a battle for the heart of our nation. 0:08:48.929 --> 0:08:54.400 I said the heart of our nation. The Democrats, extreme. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.170 Candidates, will rip that heart out of our chest. They 0:08:58.190 --> 0:09:02.429 hate our culture. They hate what it means to be American. 0:09:02.460 --> 0:09:12.400 Hear me, Dallas. Not on our watch. We will not 0:09:12.500 --> 0:09:13.420 back down. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.929 We will not grow weary. So much yelling. Are you 0:09:19.250 --> 0:09:19.670 with me? 0:09:19.770 --> 0:09:19.970 Yes! 0:09:22.620 --> 0:09:27.689 I suspect from their previous reactions. Are you with me? 0:09:27.830 --> 0:09:28.910 They are indeed with you, sir. 0:09:29.070 --> 0:09:29.890 Yes. 0:09:31.150 --> 0:09:34.089 And then, as long as we're playing Tim Scott, Hanson 0:09:34.110 --> 0:09:36.910 really wanted us to play 53. 0:09:36.910 --> 0:09:40.100 James Tallarico claims there are six genders. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.860 He believes God is non-binary. 0:09:47.900 --> 0:09:51.000 He thinks God needs special woke pronouns. 0:09:51.020 --> 0:09:51.120 Yes. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:10:01.650 But Texas, we know who God is. We're talking about it. Jesus. 0:10:02.030 --> 0:10:06.360 Tallarico has walked back the six genders thing saying he misspoke. 0:10:07.220 --> 0:10:10.719 Yeah, it's the Spanberger technique they're calling it in honor 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.020 of the new governor of Virginia who ran as a 0:10:13.059 --> 0:10:17.340 moderate and then immediately governed as a far lefty. All 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.370 of these folks are scrubbing their social media and They're 0:10:20.390 --> 0:10:24.150 saying my comments missed the mark. Little kids ought to 0:10:24.170 --> 0:10:29.850 be castrated. Saying that is not missing the mark. It's repugnant. So, yeah, 0:10:29.870 --> 0:10:32.030 they're they're trying to pretend there's something they're not. He 0:10:32.130 --> 0:10:33.810 is he is everything that's claimed. 0:10:34.490 --> 0:10:38.170 I'm stealing from Jonah Goldberg here, who I think has 0:10:38.230 --> 0:10:42.480 Trump derangement syndrome, actually. But he said Trump's five thousand 0:10:42.500 --> 0:10:48.360 dollar gambit. reminds him of H.L. Mencken's quote about Truman, 0:10:48.390 --> 0:10:50.140 which you probably know because you're a big H.L. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:50.900 Mencken fan. 0:10:51.700 --> 0:10:54.420 If there had been any formidable body of cannibals in 0:10:54.460 --> 0:10:56.699 the country, he would have promised to provide them with 0:10:56.820 --> 0:10:59.440 free missionaries fattened at the taxpayer's expense. 0:11:03.059 --> 0:11:03.820 That's beautiful. 0:11:03.860 --> 0:11:09.210 But anyway, so here's one of my favorite economists, conservative economists, saying, 0:11:10.090 --> 0:11:12.710 The claim that federal budget is so overrun with surplus 0:11:12.750 --> 0:11:15.270 cash that Washington can afford to spend one point three 0:11:15.370 --> 0:11:18.750 trillion dollars on rebates is so detached from reality that 0:11:18.790 --> 0:11:21.270 I refuse to waste my time walking you through the math. 0:11:21.610 --> 0:11:23.750 If it makes sense to you, you're beyond help. 0:11:25.630 --> 0:11:26.339 I agree. 0:11:26.460 --> 0:11:29.760 It's just we're living in fantasy land with the whole 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.469 money thing. Probably do us ourselves no favors as a 0:11:34.590 --> 0:11:37.140 radio show trying to make, you know, money and have 0:11:37.179 --> 0:11:40.660 listeners and talking about it because nobody's interested. I'm looking 0:11:40.780 --> 0:11:46.179 at a quote from Steve Hayes of The Dispatch. Quoting 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.260 their recent piece about the parties and the debt, there 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.920 is no denying that the country no longer has a 0:11:52.990 --> 0:11:55.710 major political party devoted to limiting the size and scope 0:11:55.750 --> 0:11:58.010 of government. It just doesn't exist. And so if you're 0:11:58.070 --> 0:11:59.850 if you're hammering that, you're just I don't know who 0:11:59.870 --> 0:12:02.810 your constituency is. I don't know who our constituency is 0:12:02.870 --> 0:12:05.510 for your hammering, limiting the size and scope of government. 0:12:06.070 --> 0:12:06.230 Right. 0:12:06.570 --> 0:12:09.380 Now, those of you and a number of people have 0:12:09.420 --> 0:12:12.760 pointed out, man, this this thing pales as promises go 0:12:12.900 --> 0:12:18.160 to President Autopen promising to pay off Gen Z's student loans. Absolutely. 0:12:19.780 --> 0:12:23.569 Which we blasted endlessly because it was also ridiculous. It 0:12:23.610 --> 0:12:27.010 is ridiculous. All right. There is one surprise at the gathering. 0:12:27.030 --> 0:12:28.109 Hit 51 for us, Michael. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:35.710 Big room of Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, 0:12:35.809 --> 0:12:40.410 I'm a Democrat. Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, 0:12:40.450 --> 0:12:43.870 I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm always going to stand 0:12:43.890 --> 0:12:47.210 with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes and 0:12:47.370 --> 0:12:50.750 socialism and that anti-American way of life. 0:12:50.950 --> 0:12:53.070 A lot of talk about what Fetterman's up to to 0:12:53.110 --> 0:12:56.510 be the guy to introduce the president at the big rally. 0:12:56.700 --> 0:12:59.939 I mean, he's already polling at like 16 percent among 0:13:00.020 --> 0:13:02.700 Democrats in Pennsylvania who put him in office. Is he 0:13:02.740 --> 0:13:04.599 going to switch parties before. 0:13:04.340 --> 0:13:07.679 The next election? He says he's not. Absolutely not. Is 0:13:07.700 --> 0:13:10.080 he going to go independent? Does he just not care 0:13:10.140 --> 0:13:12.920 that he won't get reelected? I think he gives zero poops. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.740 I think he's going to try to, uh, get as 0:13:15.780 --> 0:13:18.250 much done and speak as much truth as he can 0:13:18.260 --> 0:13:20.729 and then go off into the, uh, the wilderness. 0:13:20.850 --> 0:13:24.990 He votes with Democrats 75% of the time, uh, just 0:13:25.030 --> 0:13:28.429 not on the crazy stuff or the anti-Israel stuff. 0:13:28.950 --> 0:13:29.130 Yeah. 0:13:29.410 --> 0:13:29.530 Yeah. 0:13:29.550 --> 0:13:32.490 All right.

The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:14:53.390 --> 0:14:58.760 Patients being prompted by not only selfies that they change 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:05.030 with filters, but also with AI, Snapchat, dysmorphia. Patients just 0:15:05.110 --> 0:15:10.450 continue getting surgery and never are totally satisfied with what happens. 0:15:10.810 --> 0:15:14.780 But unfortunately, they come in with Images in their minds 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.800 and they present images to us in consultation that are 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:22.380 not accomplishable. So it introduces unrealistic expectations. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:23.580 I struggle with accents. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.650 That's a doctor saying that patients have unrealistic expectations due 0:15:27.670 --> 0:15:30.370 to AI and filters. They come in and think, make 0:15:30.410 --> 0:15:32.970 me look like this. And you say, you can't actually 0:15:33.050 --> 0:15:35.930 do that. That's an AI filter. 0:15:36.490 --> 0:15:37.330 Right, right. 0:15:38.530 --> 0:15:41.970 We're going to talk AI in hour three. And that 0:15:42.130 --> 0:15:45.340 huge story from yesterday about the fact that they're having 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.620 conversations in the biggest AI corporations on planet Earth about 0:15:48.660 --> 0:15:50.560 how it's going to kill all of humanity and kind 0:15:50.580 --> 0:15:52.210 of yada, yada, yada anyway. 0:15:53.170 --> 0:15:53.530 What? 0:15:54.430 --> 0:15:55.910 Also in sports news. 0:15:56.190 --> 0:15:56.370 Yeah. 0:15:57.510 --> 0:16:00.630 A couple of AI heavyweights said, yeah, I agree. And 0:16:00.750 --> 0:16:04.350 a handful said, that's nuts. So we'll hit that next hour. 0:16:04.810 --> 0:16:07.730 A different kind of tech thing is the big Apple 0:16:07.750 --> 0:16:10.070 thing was yesterday and then unveiled their first big new 0:16:10.110 --> 0:16:14.390 product in like over a decade. The big foldable phone. 0:16:14.820 --> 0:16:17.550 And I've seen people's other foldable phones. This looked way 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.540 cooler than that. And the things it can do. And 0:16:20.660 --> 0:16:22.800 I watched a bunch of the reviews and stuff like that. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:23.620 I'd like to have one. 0:16:23.620 --> 0:16:27.350 $ 2, 000 is a lot. for a phone. 0:16:28.130 --> 0:16:30.239 I don't know. Can they make a case for it? 0:16:30.260 --> 0:16:32.020 That's one of my concerns because I'm not going to 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.980 have a $ 2, 000 phone without a case, but I was 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.680 trying to picture how would a case work on that 0:16:35.740 --> 0:16:37.600 since you got a screen here and. 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.540 There and there and there. I just don't know how 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:40.960 it works. We can put a man on the moon. 0:16:41.060 --> 0:16:42.940 Surely we can invent a foldy case. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:43.720 Yeah. 0:16:43.940 --> 0:16:46.180 I believe they do have cases. I was watching a video. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:46.600 They do. 0:16:46.780 --> 0:16:47.600 Yeah. Okay. 0:16:47.940 --> 0:16:49.260 Cool. I want one of those. 0:16:49.580 --> 0:16:51.520 But one of the reasons it's so expensive is not 0:16:51.570 --> 0:16:54.270 just that it's foldable and new tech. As we know 0:16:54.330 --> 0:16:56.900 is we had to buy some new computers. When we 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.500 finally get on YouTube, which is still happening, buying these 0:16:59.540 --> 0:17:01.060 cameras and computers, stuff like that. 0:17:01.380 --> 0:17:03.810 I'm going to that doctor we just quoted for plastic surgery. 0:17:03.850 --> 0:17:05.790 I got to get healed before we go on YouTube. 0:17:07.350 --> 0:17:10.210 My upturned Michael Jackson nose didn't come out quite right. 0:17:10.230 --> 0:17:12.370 So I'm having a redo, a revision. When I'm getting 0:17:12.410 --> 0:17:15.340 horns like a lot of the hipsters get. This is 0:17:15.380 --> 0:17:20.760 a weird show, everybody. Weird looking at these guys every day. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:21.199 Oh, yeah. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.540 Joe's upturned nose, me with the horns. Hey, so I 0:17:23.580 --> 0:17:25.419 have to tell you about this new iPhone thing. 0:17:26.210 --> 0:17:28.649 So when you open it, Joe, I think you're going 0:17:28.670 --> 0:17:31.450 to love this. You can have two apps open at once. 0:17:31.470 --> 0:17:35.350 So like, let's say you like select a restaurant you 0:17:35.390 --> 0:17:37.949 would like to go to. You click the directions and 0:17:37.990 --> 0:17:40.220 then the directions open up on the other side of 0:17:40.260 --> 0:17:43.360 the screen and shows you. Yeah. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:43.960 Yeah. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:49.199 Oh, I need this. I'm I'm feet finder. I'm on it. Oh, 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.840 that's it. Katie's going to generate a little spending cash, right? 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:52.220 Yeah. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:53.649 Posting erotic photos of her. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:53.840 Yeah. 0:17:54.420 --> 0:17:57.060 Don't care. Oh, you'll step on cake. Now you got 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:57.660 my attention. 0:17:57.820 --> 0:17:58.159 Yeah. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.100 I do like cake. 0:17:59.220 --> 0:18:02.180 I like that they went with matte finish, kind of 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.780 like the Kindle paper thing that I've got. So it 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.379 looks more like paper, not shiny, as opposed to the glass. Anyway. 0:18:09.740 --> 0:18:14.250 Hides the fold, too, they say. Why so expensive? The 0:18:14.310 --> 0:18:17.070 cost of memory. That's part of the reason they did it, Katie. 0:18:17.750 --> 0:18:22.010 The cost of memory and storage chips has quintupled since 0:18:22.070 --> 0:18:26.160 last fall. Quintupled. the cost of those chips. And that's 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:28.240 why the phones are so much more expensive. Now, all 0:18:28.300 --> 0:18:30.200 computers are, if you haven't shopped for them yet. 0:18:32.530 --> 0:18:33.729 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:39.869 --> 0:18:41.770 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:43.010 --> 0:18:46.270 Officially back to school time. And right now, a lot 0:18:46.290 --> 0:18:48.320 of college kids are meeting their freshman roommates for the 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.439 first time. And there's some signs on whether you have 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:51.500 a good college. 0:18:51.180 --> 0:18:53.899 Roommate or a bad one. We have some examples right here. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.190 For instance, You have a good college roommate if they 0:18:57.210 --> 0:19:00.000 bought a mini fridge. You have a bad college roommate 0:19:00.060 --> 0:19:02.220 if it's just filled with jars marked clean urine. 0:19:02.619 --> 0:19:05.320 You know what I mean? That's not good. 0:19:05.500 --> 0:19:07.580 Next up, you have a good college roommate if you're 0:19:07.619 --> 0:19:10.260 woken up by the gentle sound of their alarm. You 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.260 have a bad college roommate if you're woken up by 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:17.560 a gentle kiss on your forehead. 0:19:17.619 --> 0:19:19.060 I'm sure it went on in that style. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:25.840 My junior high school son got a mini fridge. A 0:19:25.900 --> 0:19:27.400 friend gave it to him for some reason. 0:19:27.780 --> 0:19:28.580 Anyway, he is. 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.220 Loving that lifestyle so much. Having a few things in 0:19:32.260 --> 0:19:35.340 his fridge by his bed. He just feels like the 0:19:35.420 --> 0:19:35.960 king of the world. 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:42.790 That's funny. So coming up, a group of bikini baristas 0:19:42.830 --> 0:19:45.810 won a big legal settlement in the Seattle area. A 0:19:45.869 --> 0:19:49.970 victory not just for those gals, but for underclad baristas. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.459 salespeople everywhere. So we'll bring you the details on that one. 0:19:55.540 --> 0:19:58.820 So speaking of education, as Jimmy Fallon was, and this, 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.500 believe it or not, will end with at least partially 0:20:02.010 --> 0:20:06.670 good news. Partially. Partially. You heard the story earlier in 0:20:06.690 --> 0:20:07.950 the week. We brought it to you. It was all 0:20:07.990 --> 0:20:09.859 over the news. Even the New York Times hammered it 0:20:09.910 --> 0:20:13.520 that the reading scores of American 15-year-olds have fallen sharply 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.919 since 2022 and are near the lowest point in 25 years. 0:20:18.660 --> 0:20:21.780 Math scores equally miserable. I found this interesting. The New 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:24.140 York Post talking about back-to-school time in New York City 0:20:24.820 --> 0:20:28.909 and how the abysmal scores in New York City have 0:20:28.930 --> 0:20:32.770 been met by the New York education establishment changing the 0:20:32.850 --> 0:20:36.879 standards of And then putting, because of course that's what 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.440 you do. If students don't meet standards, you change the standards. 0:20:41.050 --> 0:20:44.729 And then they put out their big education plan. And 0:20:45.109 --> 0:20:46.990 I'd love to read this whole thing to you because 0:20:47.050 --> 0:20:54.830 it's really good writing. But they barely mention reading or math. 0:20:55.250 --> 0:20:57.990 I think there's one mention of the word. There's a 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:00.800 token mention of rigorous academics or something, but then it 0:21:00.820 --> 0:21:07.109 doesn't really mention reading and math at all. But ideology 0:21:07.369 --> 0:21:12.869 is everywhere in this document. Buzzwords like CRT, DEI, culturally responsive, 0:21:12.930 --> 0:21:21.970 sustaining education, social emotional learning, diversity, equity, justice, restorative, marginalized, identity, bias, inequality, 0:21:22.210 --> 0:21:25.040 and their ilk still flood the mission statements pages and 0:21:25.130 --> 0:21:29.619 links all over the site. Without the words reading or mathematics. Correct. 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:30.260 Yeah. Yeah. 0:21:31.070 --> 0:21:34.750 Then I mentioned this briefly yesterday. The number of New Yorkers, again, 0:21:34.810 --> 0:21:36.670 New York, but I think you can extrapolate to a 0:21:36.820 --> 0:21:42.580 lot of places around America, particularly blue places. The number 0:21:42.619 --> 0:21:46.480 of kids being homeschooled is tripled in 15 years. 0:21:47.500 --> 0:21:50.399 Tripled. I've gotten those emails from the public school before, 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.830 and this year we have the most diverse class. Yeah, 0:21:52.869 --> 0:21:54.470 what are you going to teach them? That's what I'm 0:21:54.590 --> 0:21:57.350 interested in. I don't care about that sort of stuff. 0:21:58.950 --> 0:22:00.490 That's not supposed to be your job. 0:22:01.609 --> 0:22:01.869 Right. 0:22:02.190 --> 0:22:02.450 Right. 0:22:02.570 --> 0:22:04.129 I don't even think you ought to pay attention to it. 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.820
