WEBVTT - There's A Moron 0:00:08.430 --> 0:00:12.250 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:12.289 --> 0:00:14.270 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:14.330 --> 0:00:16.529 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:16.710 --> 0:00:18.070 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:18.230 --> 0:00:25.200 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.919 And you boys ought to be awfully proud to know 0:00:32.979 --> 0:00:37.580 that you're the first ever Milwaukee Brewer team. to be 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:47.420 world champion. So this is a non-sports comment about the 0:00:47.460 --> 0:00:50.120 Milwaukee Brewers winning the World Series last night. Pat Murphy, 0:00:50.140 --> 0:00:55.040 their manager, got his first full-time Major League Baseball managing 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.360 job at age 64. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:57.780 Wow. 0:00:58.700 --> 0:01:03.250 And was National League Manager of the Year that year 0:01:03.370 --> 0:01:05.970 and the next year and won the World Series last night. 0:01:06.830 --> 0:01:07.130 Right. 0:01:08.110 --> 0:01:12.089 But he'd been chasing that job his entire post-playing career, 0:01:12.550 --> 0:01:14.590 and they get it until he was in his mid-60s. 0:01:15.170 --> 0:01:20.080 Rejected over and over again. Wow. And that's never too late. 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:21.600 Or something. 0:01:21.620 --> 0:01:22.119 Until it is. 0:01:23.060 --> 0:01:23.539 Until it is. 0:01:24.060 --> 0:01:26.779 Oh, so exciting. Or it's idiotic to take your golden 0:01:26.819 --> 0:01:28.940 years and continue to chase a dream that clearly is 0:01:28.980 --> 0:01:29.800 not meant for you. 0:01:29.819 --> 0:01:32.940 The trick is knowing which. 0:01:33.110 --> 0:01:34.509 Yeah, exactly. 0:01:34.970 --> 0:01:41.360 Yeah. Like Churchill said, never, never, never give up. Unless 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.420 you're one of those American Idol contestants who suck and 0:01:44.459 --> 0:01:46.980 you really ought to. Yeah, you're never going to be 0:01:47.340 --> 0:01:49.500 an accounting. It's an honorable profession. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.180 You're not going to make your living as a professional singer, 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.070 which is fine. Do something else. That's the problem with 0:01:55.270 --> 0:01:58.390 a lot of those things is that the saying of 0:01:59.110 --> 0:02:02.270 if you're going the wrong direction, the best thing you 0:02:02.310 --> 0:02:04.690 can do is turn around and go the other direction. 0:02:05.450 --> 0:02:07.520 Correct. Yes, that's progress. 0:02:07.860 --> 0:02:08.100 Yeah. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.720 Yeah. Well, that's the trick in knowing, though. If you 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.609 are a Pat Murphy, never, never, never give up. 0:02:16.750 --> 0:02:20.270 So we'll go big a little bit later, maybe even 0:02:20.290 --> 0:02:22.480 this hour, on the Alaska story. So the New York 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.359 Times breaks the story that the extra Dan Sullivan, you know, 0:02:26.380 --> 0:02:29.200 it's always good to keep an extra around in case 0:02:29.220 --> 0:02:29.660 you need it. 0:02:29.700 --> 0:02:30.799 Decoy Dan! 0:02:30.940 --> 0:02:34.040 In Alaska was on purpose. Yeah, no freaking kidding. But 0:02:34.090 --> 0:02:36.090 so the New York Times, that was an exclusive. Here's 0:02:36.110 --> 0:02:39.550 their big exclusive today. NVIDIA chief seen as target of 0:02:39.630 --> 0:02:43.130 Chinese spy plot. So, oh, Wang with the cool leather 0:02:43.169 --> 0:02:45.630 jackets running the most valuable company in the world. And 0:02:45.669 --> 0:02:49.290 more importantly than that, NVIDIA has the best chips in 0:02:49.330 --> 0:02:53.250 the world that everybody wants, including China, for, you know, 0:02:53.290 --> 0:02:55.150 the big AI wars that are going to take over 0:02:55.190 --> 0:02:59.400 the world. And it turns out this very attractive Chinese 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:04.420 woman named Alice Wang. Hey, China, get some more names. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:05.200 Yeah. 0:03:07.350 --> 0:03:10.290 You need more names. Everybody's named Li and Wang. You 0:03:10.330 --> 0:03:13.980 can't have... It's hard to follow these stories. Sounds like 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.040 racism to me, round eye. They're not relatives or married 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.400 or anything like that. He was just... It just keeps 0:03:19.460 --> 0:03:25.220 saying a close relationship. All right. Whatever that is. Turned 0:03:25.310 --> 0:03:30.630 out she's a Chinese citizen. She had been funneling intelligence 0:03:30.710 --> 0:03:35.070 information to Beijing. Don't trust China. For a long time. 0:03:35.900 --> 0:03:37.700 And they're not exactly sure what. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.040 Mr. 0:03:39.100 --> 0:03:42.040 Wang, one of the most powerful figures in the AI revolution, 0:03:44.380 --> 0:03:50.340 was unaware of this, obviously. The White House was tipped 0:03:50.470 --> 0:03:53.610 off on this last year. Trump was briefed about the 0:03:53.650 --> 0:03:57.070 intelligence findings, which have not previously been reported in the media, 0:03:57.430 --> 0:03:59.930 and chose not to do anything with the information. Now, 0:03:59.950 --> 0:04:01.990 this is the New York Times take on this, although 0:04:02.030 --> 0:04:02.970 it rings true to me. 0:04:03.740 --> 0:04:04.000 Mr. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:08.540 Trump has been wary of disrupting NVIDIA's chip sales, which 0:04:08.580 --> 0:04:11.160 are driving the economy in the stock market. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.609 Yeah, yeah. Well, letting a guy know, hey, your squeeze 0:04:16.730 --> 0:04:20.010 is not what she seems to be, probably wouldn't disrupt 0:04:20.850 --> 0:04:26.560 the market, would it? I mean, I don't get the 0:04:26.580 --> 0:04:30.180 part that would be that disruptive, but clearly I'm missing something. 0:04:32.470 --> 0:04:36.130 His girlfriend is funneling secrets to the Chinese government. 0:04:38.089 --> 0:04:41.090 You don't think that might change stock market thinking about 0:04:41.170 --> 0:04:44.849 how valuable and unique NVIDIA chips are if you feel 0:04:44.870 --> 0:04:49.130 like China now has that technology and can start selling 0:04:49.190 --> 0:04:49.700 them too? 0:04:49.950 --> 0:04:50.460 Sure, yeah. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.320 I'd want to know a lot more about how significant 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.700 the leaks were, but my takeaway, as if I needed 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:01.770 to take this away, is any Chinese citizen or any 0:05:02.310 --> 0:05:05.630 human who has family they care about who is a 0:05:05.690 --> 0:05:10.560 Chinese citizen, is a potential tool of the Chinese Communist Party. Always, 0:05:10.660 --> 0:05:11.659 every day, never forget. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.760 So this New York Times article is based on interviews 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.900 with people briefed on the surveillance who spoke on the 0:05:15.940 --> 0:05:20.440 condition of anonymity, as usual. American officials had already suspected 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.380 that Ms. Wang was helping China evade constraints on its 0:05:24.420 --> 0:05:28.430 ability to gain access to advanced AI chips, which ain't good. 0:05:30.140 --> 0:05:33.050 But the revelation that she was feeding information directly to 0:05:33.089 --> 0:05:36.390 Beijing raised more troubling possibilities, including that Mr. Wang had 0:05:36.430 --> 0:05:39.310 insights into Mr. Trump's thinking on an issue of vital 0:05:39.350 --> 0:05:42.550 importance to both nations. One likely to come up when 0:05:42.570 --> 0:05:44.529 the president visits China next month. 0:05:45.330 --> 0:05:48.010 Oh, my gosh. The number of contacts he's had with 0:05:48.110 --> 0:05:50.360 Trump and the whole leadership team. Yeah. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:50.650 Wow. 0:05:52.730 --> 0:05:52.950 Mr. 0:05:52.970 --> 0:05:56.490 Wang has not received a defensive briefing warning sometimes given 0:05:56.529 --> 0:05:59.250 to Americans who are being targeted by foreign intelligence services. 0:05:59.310 --> 0:06:01.830 People briefed with the surveillance. So the New York Times 0:06:01.940 --> 0:06:05.620 is beyond hinting that the Trump administration could have done 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.219 more to warn Wang, Mr. Wang, not Mrs. Wang, because 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.440 they're both named Wang or go with first names. That'd 0:06:13.460 --> 0:06:13.920 be a good idea. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:14.560 Yeah. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.070 And I mentioned last week, I guess, for the super 0:06:17.110 --> 0:06:20.670 cool and hip people, you only call him by his 0:06:20.690 --> 0:06:23.839 first name anyway. He's one of those first-name people like Elon. 0:06:24.339 --> 0:06:27.850 I find that so annoying, but go ahead. 0:06:29.270 --> 0:06:36.910 NVIDIA said that the company employed Ms. Wang was like 0:06:37.050 --> 0:06:40.270 any other regional customer that had previously investigated and bugged 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.980 claims that the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So NVIDIA 0:06:43.020 --> 0:06:46.820 is denying this, I guess, which you do, especially if 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.080 you don't want the stock to drop all of a sudden, 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:54.089 I suppose. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see more information 0:06:54.130 --> 0:06:57.640 that comes out on that whole story. It's very troubling 0:06:58.980 --> 0:07:01.859 and has been for a very long time that the 0:07:01.900 --> 0:07:06.890 United States is far and away the innovator in practically everything. 0:07:07.900 --> 0:07:13.050 golf club technology computers cell phones computer chips we're the 0:07:13.150 --> 0:07:14.970 best at everything ai. 0:07:14.730 --> 0:07:17.850 Everything jets yes fighter jets all. 0:07:17.750 --> 0:07:20.530 Kinds of weapons systems we're the best at that in 0:07:20.570 --> 0:07:23.210 the world by far because of our system where the 0:07:23.270 --> 0:07:26.710 smart people come here and less regulation and blah blah 0:07:26.730 --> 0:07:29.650 blah blah blah but then we let our number one 0:07:29.710 --> 0:07:32.630 enemy on earth steal it right away skip all the 0:07:32.670 --> 0:07:35.670 hard part and have exactly the same thing. They got 0:07:35.690 --> 0:07:37.640 a fighter jet that is same as our fighter jet. 0:07:37.910 --> 0:07:40.010 We should have been, we should have had the dominant 0:07:40.090 --> 0:07:42.530 fighter plane on planet earth for. 0:07:42.530 --> 0:07:45.030 Decades before anybody could catch up to us. Nope. 0:07:45.370 --> 0:07:47.590 They stole all the technology and caught up to us 0:07:47.630 --> 0:07:47.970 right away. 0:07:48.470 --> 0:07:53.420 Our naivete, our naivete in engaging with China from the 0:07:53.450 --> 0:07:57.880 Nixon administration on and getting addicted to cheap Chinese crap 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.860 in our markets and our households and our lives is, 0:08:00.150 --> 0:08:03.410 It's one of the great geopolitical miscalculations in human history. 0:08:04.190 --> 0:08:07.110 And it was absolutely deliberately planned by the Chinese from 0:08:07.150 --> 0:08:10.420 the beginning. Read the 100-Year Marathon by Michael Pillsbury. Is 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:10.700 that it? 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.160 Yeah, it's... Whoops. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:15.560 Yeah, whoops. 0:08:16.100 --> 0:08:18.740 So NVIDIA's got the best, fastest chips that drive the 0:08:18.780 --> 0:08:21.320 whole AI thing, and now hopefully China doesn't have a 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.080 lot of the information you need to make the same chips. 0:08:25.500 --> 0:08:28.850 And she tried to reach Nelson through his... I'm not 0:08:28.900 --> 0:08:31.750 saying it. It's unfortunate and childish. 0:08:31.890 --> 0:08:32.429 Oh, you're right. 0:08:32.450 --> 0:08:32.690 It is. 0:08:32.890 --> 0:08:33.150 Yeah. 0:08:33.350 --> 0:08:33.570 Yeah. 0:08:33.929 --> 0:08:34.290 Anyway. 0:08:34.610 --> 0:08:34.870 Yeah. 0:08:35.110 --> 0:08:38.790 Wow. Wow. Wow. Hey, there's this hot young girl who's 0:08:38.910 --> 0:08:40.290 really Chinese citizen. 0:08:40.910 --> 0:08:43.090 Really, really took a shine into you. 0:08:43.970 --> 0:08:46.750 Weirdly, weirdly, she's the Chinese, as it turns out. Isn't 0:08:46.770 --> 0:08:49.099 that funny? She's such a sweetheart. I can't wait till 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.860 you meet her. Oh, Lord. 0:08:51.420 --> 0:08:52.500 God dang it, people. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:59.439 There's not some nice statuette Swedish blonde you're interested in or. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.180 You're kind of a, you know, a silver haired fox 0:09:03.460 --> 0:09:06.290 guy anyway. And you're one of the most richest people 0:09:06.390 --> 0:09:09.030 on earth. Can't you get a girlfriend who's not a 0:09:09.070 --> 0:09:11.370 Chinese spy? Yeah. 0:09:12.530 --> 0:09:16.510 You'd think, you know, his dating pool would be fairly extensive. 0:09:16.710 --> 0:09:16.950 Yeah. 0:09:17.530 --> 0:09:19.880 How about weed out Chinese spies? 0:09:21.450 --> 0:09:24.550 Boy, Eric Swalwell is nodding sadly in his home right 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.120 now listening to us. Tell me about it, he's thinking. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.700 I'm saying, yeah. I mean, come on. Your Bumble profile, 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:39.630 you should just put on there, Jensen, like turn-offs, turn-offs, 0:09:39.730 --> 0:09:40.890 communist party members. 0:09:41.670 --> 0:09:41.890 Right. 0:09:41.929 --> 0:09:42.030 Right. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:43.900 Yeah. Don't even call. 0:09:44.059 --> 0:09:44.479 Yeah. 0:09:44.580 --> 0:09:45.780 Don't swipe. Whatever. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:46.560 I don't know how it works. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:47.080 I'm married. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.480 People are putting no MAGA on there or whatever for 0:09:49.500 --> 0:09:52.250 their profiles. He needs to put on there no communist spies. 0:09:52.970 --> 0:09:55.130 Yeah. Dang it. It's an oversight. What are you going 0:09:55.150 --> 0:09:57.550 to do? He's busy running the company. Oh, speaking of 0:09:57.630 --> 0:10:00.910 foreigners on the run, have you followed the bullshit? story 0:10:01.130 --> 0:10:06.740 out of Brazil? They just had, you know, we are 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.980 so headed for this with the lawfare culture that's going 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.500 on right now. The guy almost wins the presidency a 0:10:14.740 --> 0:10:20.900 couple of nights ago. But the winners, the left-wing strongman, 0:10:22.020 --> 0:10:25.920 what's his name, Lalo or Taco or whatever his name is, 0:10:29.429 --> 0:10:32.250 while he's a left-wing strongman, he's going to arrest Bolsonaro 0:10:32.309 --> 0:10:34.830 and charge him with all sorts of crimes, real and imagined. 0:10:35.150 --> 0:10:37.110 So you lose the election, you have. 0:10:36.990 --> 0:10:41.520 To flee overland to, what was it, Ecuador, and then 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.280 he jumped on a private jet and now he's in 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:48.189 Miami because he's friendly with the Trump family. So you 0:10:48.210 --> 0:10:51.470 lose the election, you have to flee the country. And 0:10:51.490 --> 0:10:55.350 we're close to that. There are folks, we reported this 0:10:55.370 --> 0:10:58.310 a week or so ago, all over D.C., everybody involved 0:10:58.350 --> 0:11:00.930 in the administration is getting lawyered up for when and 0:11:01.010 --> 0:11:04.030 if the Democrats take the House and the Senate because 0:11:04.110 --> 0:11:09.570 it's going to become lawfare mania again. I accuse the 0:11:10.030 --> 0:11:13.990 Democrats of really starting the modern lawfare, trying to prosecute 0:11:14.300 --> 0:11:18.560 trump for ridiculous imagined crap and then the trump administration 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.400 is gleefully joined in the fray and is prosecuting everybody 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.500 that's in their sights including ridiculously and comey's a villain 0:11:26.540 --> 0:11:30.420 but this latest one indicting comey it's just it's a 0:11:30.660 --> 0:11:34.190 joke um and so how how far till we're in 0:11:34.309 --> 0:11:37.470 banana republic zones and and and but you know throwing 0:11:37.490 --> 0:11:42.229 people in jail you don't hold a uh hey it 0:11:42.270 --> 0:11:45.780 was a great effort sorry we lost rally or speech 0:11:45.820 --> 0:11:47.420 or whatever, you flee for your lives. 0:11:48.860 --> 0:11:49.160 Nice. 0:11:49.179 --> 0:11:50.600 Yeah, I know. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.740 We can dig into the economic numbers that came out today. 0:11:53.820 --> 0:11:55.960 I guarantee you Donald Trump and the Republicans are happy 0:11:55.980 --> 0:11:59.400 about because pretty strong overall GDP growth. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.100 But did they exceed expectations? 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.610 And plenty of other stuff that we can get into. 0:12:04.620 --> 0:12:04.970 Stay here. 0:12:06.490 --> 0:12:07.730 Armstrong and Getty. 0:12:13.530 --> 0:12:19.600 The Armstrong and Getty Show. Apple's new foldable iPhone is 0:12:19.670 --> 0:12:23.320 cracking after just days or hours of use. The situation 0:12:23.380 --> 0:12:26.560 is so bad, several teenagers actually looked up from their phones. 0:12:31.100 --> 0:12:33.980 Speaking of things cracking, that's going to be a huge 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.240 problem if that turns out to be like an actual 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.850 problem and not just a very rare. They misused it 0:12:41.900 --> 0:12:42.280 or something. 0:12:43.070 --> 0:12:48.270 Do we have a term for the, because this could 0:12:48.290 --> 0:12:50.480 be an actual problem and an issue that Apple has 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.580 to grapple with, or it could be incredibly rare, utterly insignificant, 0:12:54.620 --> 0:12:58.400 but because it's tied to the hot thing, it gets 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:03.020 lots of clicks. Is there a remora? Is that the 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:08.530 fish that latches onto a shark? It's like a parasite story. Yeah, 0:13:08.550 --> 0:13:09.729 there should be a term for that. 0:13:12.380 --> 0:13:19.160 My son's MacBook Air, which is fairly old, got a 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.670 cracked screen somehow. He doesn't seem to understand, know how 0:13:22.750 --> 0:13:26.709 that happened. I try to remind them. I do this. 0:13:26.809 --> 0:13:29.069 I think a lot of us do this. You have 0:13:29.090 --> 0:13:32.020 these things that your phone is the best example. They're 0:13:32.059 --> 0:13:34.660 so expensive. You get so used to carrying them around 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.310 all the time. You treat them like they're You know, 0:13:37.610 --> 0:13:39.850 like a $ 5 Atom or whatever, and toss it on 0:13:39.870 --> 0:13:40.690 the bed or whatever. 0:13:40.710 --> 0:13:42.670 Like a comb. 0:13:42.710 --> 0:13:46.670 Not like it's a $ 1, 000 computer that you're carrying around. Anyway, 0:13:46.690 --> 0:13:48.689 the screen got cracked on his MacBook, and so I 0:13:48.730 --> 0:13:52.390 took it to the local repair person to fix it. 0:13:52.390 --> 0:13:53.890 $ 450 to fix it. They got to put a new 0:13:53.929 --> 0:13:57.880 screen up. $ 450. So it's right on that edge of, well, 0:13:57.890 --> 0:14:00.530 is it better to just get a new one? because 0:14:00.550 --> 0:14:03.690 it's older, and it's right on the cusp, but I thought, geez, 0:14:03.710 --> 0:14:05.870 that's an expensive repair. What would it cost to fix 0:14:05.910 --> 0:14:07.490 those duos? I can't imagine. 0:14:08.090 --> 0:14:12.940 Well, with those expensive chips these days, we know computers 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.820 are really, really high, and thanks to old Jensen Wang 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.700 and his hot commie girlfriend, it might get worse or better. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.510 This guy, it's a one guy rented out a space 0:14:24.550 --> 0:14:26.890 in a strip mall that probably used to be a 0:14:26.910 --> 0:14:31.270 yogurt stand or whatever, and Uh, he fixes people's iPhones 0:14:31.330 --> 0:14:33.630 and computers. And I said, do you stay pretty busy? 0:14:33.650 --> 0:14:35.690 And he said, I am swamped all the time. Oh, 0:14:35.710 --> 0:14:39.180 but he can charge pretty much whatever the hell he wants. And, uh, 0:14:39.190 --> 0:14:41.010 he's on the West side of my town. He just, 0:14:41.150 --> 0:14:44.500 everybody in that end, probably he's the most convenient guy. And, uh, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.260 And what a skill to have. And I said, did 0:14:47.300 --> 0:14:50.120 you learn all this pretty much just by screwing around 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.820 with stuff? He said, yeah, just pretty much self-taught. Just 0:14:53.140 --> 0:14:54.480 I was interested in it. And then I'd start buying 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.100 parts and switching them out. And you learn by doing 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.160 and everything like that. And I said, man, AI is 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.820 not going to replace you. And he said, nope, not 0:14:59.860 --> 0:15:01.980 a chance. I'll be able to do this the rest 0:15:02.020 --> 0:15:02.540 of my life. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:03.680 Wow. 0:15:03.740 --> 0:15:04.260 Good for him. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:04.760 I love that. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.920 That's an American success. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.020 What a cool talent to have. I mean, that is 0:15:09.060 --> 0:15:11.500 something that will be in demand. Be like being somebody 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.230 who could like, uh, you know, like a farrier back 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.930 in the 1800s, shoe a horse or something like that. 0:15:16.950 --> 0:15:19.210 You are needed. Every town needs you. 0:15:19.850 --> 0:15:23.350 Right. Right. And, and I could totally see, you know, he's, 0:15:23.410 --> 0:15:27.430 he's charging 79 bucks for a iPhone repair or whatever. 0:15:28.130 --> 0:15:30.340 I could totally see him thinking, I'm going to tell 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.720 this guy 89. Let's try 99, you know, and just 0:15:34.780 --> 0:15:37.980 see what the market will bear. I show up, is 0:15:38.060 --> 0:15:40.630 it $ 79 or $ 89? I don't care. Tell me how 0:15:40.650 --> 0:15:43.570 much it is. Exactly. I mean, unless he went like nuts, 0:15:43.590 --> 0:15:47.210 that's $ 450 to replace it. You know, then you'd notice. 0:15:47.250 --> 0:15:50.300 But it's definitely there. You need it fixed. It's in 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:50.540 the last. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.880 You probably really need it fixed. Unless you're somebody who 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.000 has like multiple computers and you use this one sometimes 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.400 as opposed to this is the thing I use every day. Yeah, 0:16:00.450 --> 0:16:02.290 what a great business to be in. I got to 0:16:02.310 --> 0:16:03.710 teach one of my kids to learn how to fix 0:16:03.810 --> 0:16:06.910 iPhones and computers. As I was walking over to the 0:16:06.950 --> 0:16:09.190 place yesterday, I walked by a car in the street 0:16:09.210 --> 0:16:11.310 that had this, had a whole bunch of bumper stickers. 0:16:11.670 --> 0:16:14.380 People tend to either be bumper sticker person or not 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.320 bumper sticker person. Not a lot of people with one 0:16:17.500 --> 0:16:20.580 or two bumper stickers. You either have zero or eight 0:16:20.900 --> 0:16:23.170 for some reason. I don't know what that is. And 0:16:23.210 --> 0:16:25.050 I grew up in a household where my dad kind 0:16:25.070 --> 0:16:27.530 of looked down on bumper sticker people, so I've never 0:16:27.550 --> 0:16:29.670 been a bumper sticker person. If you grew up in 0:16:29.690 --> 0:16:32.630 a household where, absolutely, you fly your flag of what 0:16:32.670 --> 0:16:35.390 you believe on the bumper of your car, you probably 0:16:35.430 --> 0:16:37.790 do that as an adult, too, I guess. I don't know. 0:16:37.820 --> 0:16:40.220 Boy, just my kids' colleges, that's the only things we've 0:16:40.390 --> 0:16:41.960 ever had. Window sticker. 0:16:45.180 --> 0:16:48.740 This bumper sticker said, billionaires are a threat. 0:16:50.860 --> 0:16:51.060 You. 0:16:51.900 --> 0:16:53.820 are a moron. That's funny. 0:16:53.860 --> 0:16:56.400 That's exactly what I said to my son as we 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.420 walked by a car. Well, there's a moron. 0:17:00.850 --> 0:17:03.770 Isn't that nice? An America's son, a moron can afford 0:17:03.810 --> 0:17:07.250 a car. 0:17:07.550 --> 0:17:11.209 That tiny bumper sticker announced so much about them. Oh, 0:17:11.230 --> 0:17:14.190 but I could guess correctly like a hundred different things 0:17:14.270 --> 0:17:14.970 about that person. 0:17:15.430 --> 0:17:15.810 Correct. 0:17:16.030 --> 0:17:16.290 Yes. 0:17:16.630 --> 0:17:19.770 Yes, you could. Based on that one bumper sticker. So, 0:17:20.270 --> 0:17:25.960 conservatism is dead. In other news, rain is expected. Yeah, man, 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:27.360 you look at some recent polls. 0:17:27.380 --> 0:17:30.240 I ain't going to like this, am I? 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.040 The francification of America. Put on your beret, folks, and 0:17:34.060 --> 0:17:35.960 stay tuned. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:35.980 --> 0:17:43.140 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.109 Somewhere between 28 and 38, I would guess, based on 0:17:51.150 --> 0:18:00.530 the pictures. Jensen's Chinese spy girlfriend. He's 64. She's pretty young. 0:18:00.790 --> 0:18:03.230 Very attractive. New York Times has a lot of pictures 0:18:03.250 --> 0:18:05.369 of them, like, walking out of bars at night and 0:18:05.410 --> 0:18:06.050 stuff like that. 0:18:06.650 --> 0:18:07.330 Nice. 0:18:07.730 --> 0:18:10.710 Yeah. So the guy running the most valuable company in 0:18:10.730 --> 0:18:13.100 the world with the most exclusive chips had a Chinese 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.800 spy girlfriend, it appears. And she sent an info back to... 0:18:17.230 --> 0:18:19.429 the communist party fantastic. 0:18:20.430 --> 0:18:23.280 Michael play me a clip 55 would you please this 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.640 this fellow is the president of the united states. 0:18:25.740 --> 0:18:30.440 Republicans win the house of representatives and the senate that's 0:18:30.660 --> 0:18:34.640 and remember house and senate i am going to give 0:18:34.940 --> 0:18:39.850 all adult citizens in the united states five thousand dollars. 0:18:43.290 --> 0:18:44.550 I hate to be negative, but I think at this 0:18:44.609 --> 0:18:46.210 point you could say, and I will ship an elephant 0:18:46.490 --> 0:18:47.250 to everyone's home. 0:18:47.630 --> 0:18:49.359 You'll have it by Tuesday. Oh, I've always wanted an elephant. 0:18:49.470 --> 0:18:51.960 There's no way the Republicans are going to take the house. 0:18:52.980 --> 0:18:56.879 Well, and nobody's going to get $ 5, 000. Putting aside the 0:18:56.940 --> 0:19:01.800 ridiculousness of that proposition, he sounds slurry to me in that. 0:19:02.740 --> 0:19:03.800 What are you insinuating? 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:06.699 Age finally catching up with him. 0:19:07.590 --> 0:19:08.970 Every once in a while he does, and I think 0:19:09.050 --> 0:19:11.989 it's a teeth thing. He's done that for years, where 0:19:12.010 --> 0:19:14.310 all of a sudden he gets the big, he's really slurred. 0:19:14.550 --> 0:19:17.070 I think his teeth slide looser. I don't know what happened. 0:19:17.109 --> 0:19:19.770 Yeah, it could be a dentures thing. I don't know. Anyway, 0:19:20.710 --> 0:19:25.120 we'll all keep an eye out for that. We will. Well, yes. 0:19:26.210 --> 0:19:30.280 I had to do something as a transition. Jason Riley, 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.120 great columnist for the Wall Street Journal. His column this 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.480 week was Hispanics ditch Trump for the same reason as 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.340 everyone else. which is a bit of a harsh headline, 0:19:39.380 --> 0:19:42.900 but what he's talking about is while there are some 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.670 signs that the manner in which the ICE crackdown has 0:19:46.730 --> 0:19:51.690 been conducted has cost votes in the Hispanic community, it's 0:19:51.750 --> 0:19:56.170 not the factor. And this is so interesting. It goes 0:19:56.230 --> 0:19:59.290 against so much of the popular narrative from the lame 0:19:59.470 --> 0:20:03.710 stream media. But a Pew Research Center survey this month 0:20:03.859 --> 0:20:06.680 asked Hispanic voters to name their top issues. Immigration ranked 0:20:06.900 --> 0:20:12.890 fifth after the economy. health care, education, and the future 0:20:12.990 --> 0:20:17.840 of democracy, whatever that means. Moreover, issues around race and 0:20:17.859 --> 0:20:22.119 ethnicity ranked second from the bottom in their list of concerns, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.520 which stands to reason, Jason points out, because that's not 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.900 what attracted them to Trump in the first place. It's 0:20:30.020 --> 0:20:34.760 kitchen table, how's the economy, how's my job issues. And 0:20:35.540 --> 0:20:38.580 they went way to Trump because they perceived him as 0:20:38.660 --> 0:20:42.240 a good manager of the economy. And now that they're 0:20:42.260 --> 0:20:46.800 frustrated by inflation and taxes and energy prices, they're going away. 0:20:46.900 --> 0:20:50.200 That's virtually all you need to know. 0:20:50.290 --> 0:20:52.910 I think it's just so hard for people who are, 0:20:53.630 --> 0:20:57.169 like the media particularly, most of whom grew up in 0:20:57.210 --> 0:21:00.909 a family that voted D for every race, local to 0:21:00.950 --> 0:21:05.449 president their entire lives, and now they have also. Uh, uh, 0:21:05.850 --> 0:21:08.770 and then they have their view of whatever Republican voters are. 0:21:08.950 --> 0:21:10.770 I think it's so hard for those people to imagine 0:21:10.810 --> 0:21:13.970 people that like, I don't care which who's going to 0:21:13.990 --> 0:21:16.220 make the groceries cheaper or the gas lower. I, I, 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.000 or I don't care at all. I don't ever think 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.980
