WEBVTT - I Flipped Myself Off 0:00:04.470 --> 0:00:08.330 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:08.350 --> 0:00:12.600 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:12.780 --> 0:00:14.140 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:19.880 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.820 Restaurant closings are adding up. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.680 In the first six months of the year, more than 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.620 7,500 locations have closed nationwide. What? 0:00:46.250 --> 0:00:47.530 Wow. 0:00:47.530 --> 0:00:49.970 7,000 restaurants have closed so far this year. But you 0:00:50.010 --> 0:00:52.630 know what that stat doesn't include? How many restaurants closed 0:00:52.670 --> 0:00:54.850 most years? I don't have the slightest idea. 0:00:56.050 --> 0:00:57.950 Hell of a lot of restaurants in America, based on 0:00:57.990 --> 0:01:01.170 my observations. So, yeah, that's a great question. Does that 0:01:01.190 --> 0:01:04.090 depart from the baseline? The average restaurant closes in the 0:01:04.130 --> 0:01:06.690 first year after they open. So I don't know, but 0:01:06.730 --> 0:01:08.630 it sounds like an awful lot there. So we got 0:01:08.650 --> 0:01:11.889 some economic stuff for you later. We got some France stuff. 0:01:12.150 --> 0:01:14.990 We got some elections a week from tomorrow stuff. I'll 0:01:15.010 --> 0:01:17.060 tell you one thing I definitely want to talk about, 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.720 although I have to be careful. I went to the 0:01:21.740 --> 0:01:23.780 number one movie in the country. You can see everything 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:28.230 over the weekend. Go before you hear all the spoilers. 0:01:28.470 --> 0:01:34.810 It's freaking unbelievable. Freaking incredible work of art. That movie 0:01:35.090 --> 0:01:41.480 just so good. No wonder all of the smart people 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.280 are saying it could win Best Picture. It could be 0:01:43.300 --> 0:01:45.000 the first documentary to ever win Best Picture. 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.380 Absolutely. Yeah, it's funny you should say that. 0:01:47.420 --> 0:01:50.220 I read some really, really intriguing stuff about it and thought, okay, 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.380 I need to stop reading about this. 0:01:52.110 --> 0:01:55.070 Oh, I'm so glad that I hadn't. I don't ever 0:01:55.110 --> 0:01:56.610 read about things before. If I know I'm going to 0:01:56.650 --> 0:01:58.529 see him because I don't want to ruin. I'm glad 0:01:58.570 --> 0:02:00.130 I didn't know the spoilers before I saw him because 0:02:00.170 --> 0:02:03.610 it was the number of gasps in the theater. I've 0:02:03.650 --> 0:02:05.470 never heard that many gasps in the theater. First of all, 0:02:05.730 --> 0:02:09.590 the theater was packed. 150 people in there. And it's 0:02:09.620 --> 0:02:14.459 been packed every night. When I went to get popcorn, 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.609 she told me, she said, everybody comes out raving about it. 0:02:17.460 --> 0:02:22.380 Gasps, lots of laughs. It's hilarious. And applause at the end. 0:02:22.419 --> 0:02:24.100 I think I've been to two movies in my entire 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.820 life where people applauded at the end. It's just it 0:02:26.860 --> 0:02:31.700 was just a stunning work of art and so multilayered 0:02:31.940 --> 0:02:33.500 in a way that I wasn't expecting at all. I 0:02:33.540 --> 0:02:35.139 thought I was I thought I just OK, you know, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.540 it's a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes and the fraud. But 0:02:37.580 --> 0:02:42.400 it's so deeply layered about celebrity and marriage and truth 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.760 and all these different sorts of things all swirled into one. 0:02:45.780 --> 0:02:47.430 It's just it's absolutely amazing. 0:02:48.620 --> 0:02:52.000 So can they analyze one drop of blood or can't they? 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.570 That actually plays such a small role in the whole thing. 0:02:56.050 --> 0:02:56.290 Right. 0:02:56.370 --> 0:02:58.090 That's what I understand. Yeah. 0:02:58.530 --> 0:03:00.610 But I couldn't recommend it more highly. I would like 0:03:00.630 --> 0:03:01.850 to see it again. I wish I could have convinced 0:03:01.889 --> 0:03:04.700 my kids to go because they thought, well, I don't 0:03:04.740 --> 0:03:05.799 want to see it. And I thought, well, I don't 0:03:05.820 --> 0:03:07.619 know what's going to be, but it's so entertaining. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.959 I'm going to check the schedule in my town, USA. 0:03:12.050 --> 0:03:14.650 So I don't understand why this. Well, I do understand 0:03:14.710 --> 0:03:16.850 why this is not getting more attention. This story broke 0:03:16.910 --> 0:03:19.389 on Friday. First of all, stories that break on Friday disappear. 0:03:19.750 --> 0:03:21.769 I don't know why news outlets haven't figured we got 0:03:21.790 --> 0:03:23.630 a really great story here, but let's not waste it 0:03:23.690 --> 0:03:28.640 on a Friday. The media, I don't know why it 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.579 just didn't it didn't occur to me until just today 0:03:30.620 --> 0:03:33.750 when I was watching the cable news this morning. They're 0:03:34.350 --> 0:03:36.790 because almost all media leans left. 0:03:36.830 --> 0:03:36.970 Right. 0:03:36.990 --> 0:03:37.810 And they all hate Trump. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:43.080 They're so excited about any pushback against Trump. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:48.110 This last two years has been so painful for all 0:03:48.130 --> 0:03:49.210 the mainstream media. 0:03:50.210 --> 0:03:53.410 That Trump and the Republicans won, they'd have been hungering 0:03:53.690 --> 0:03:56.130 for some sort of pushback for so long. That's why 0:03:56.150 --> 0:04:00.270 they're covering this election every second, every race, like it's 0:04:00.290 --> 0:04:01.950 the most important thing that's ever happened. 0:04:01.730 --> 0:04:04.330 In their life. It's a version of Trump derangement syndrome, 0:04:04.470 --> 0:04:07.270 because there's no reason a midterm election should be getting 0:04:07.310 --> 0:04:09.770 this amount of attention. It's just no way. 0:04:10.490 --> 0:04:11.750 You're right. Yeah. 0:04:12.030 --> 0:04:12.770 They're just so exciting. 0:04:12.830 --> 0:04:15.410 I was wondering why I was so exhausted by it. 0:04:15.450 --> 0:04:18.570 To put some brakes on Donald Trump. That's just all 0:04:18.589 --> 0:04:21.690 they're talking about. OK, fantastic. So when when they win 0:04:21.710 --> 0:04:24.270 the House next week, look forward to your all your 0:04:24.470 --> 0:04:27.070 lefty friends or the lefty media acting like they just 0:04:27.210 --> 0:04:28.789 really accomplished something. 0:04:28.850 --> 0:04:33.130 Important, whatever. But so this story got buried. New York Times. 0:04:33.330 --> 0:04:36.690 And this was with several of their biggest reporters, including 0:04:36.750 --> 0:04:43.000 Jonathan Swan. Iran in advanced stages of planning attacks against Americans, 0:04:43.070 --> 0:04:43.880 officials say. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:44.560 The U.S. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.100 Government has ordered diplomats and other federal employees to leave 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.260 Saudi Arabia. It is also drawing down staff at other 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.400 missions in the region. Intelligence officials raised alarms to Marco 0:04:54.460 --> 0:04:56.560 Rubio in a memo on Friday that warned about the 0:04:56.610 --> 0:05:01.580 dangers to State Department employees and also... Plotting efforts by 0:05:01.620 --> 0:05:04.680 the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.179 both the Middle East and certain other. 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.600 Countries, including in the U.S. 0:05:09.580 --> 0:05:10.260 Oh, boy. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:15.940 Why wouldn't this get more attention? 0:05:16.250 --> 0:05:20.410 Iran, we've briefed the Secretary of State and the president, 0:05:20.810 --> 0:05:23.850 the intelligence people, that Iran is planning attacks on Americans 0:05:24.070 --> 0:05:26.070 all around the world, including in the United States. 0:05:26.589 --> 0:05:28.690 Doesn't that seem like a big story with a country. 0:05:28.490 --> 0:05:29.159 We're at war at? 0:05:31.900 --> 0:05:36.380 The derangement syndrome you spoke of extends to if we 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.750 recognize that Iran is evil and would hurt us. And 0:05:39.770 --> 0:05:43.550 that sounds to it kind of feels like supporting Trump. So, 0:05:43.990 --> 0:05:46.110 I mean, they could even spit it if they wanted. Look, 0:05:46.150 --> 0:05:49.120 Trump's ill-advised illegal war has whipped up this sort of anger. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.440 But but no, to report on this is to risk 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.140 rallying the American people. 0:05:55.190 --> 0:05:55.430 U.S. 0:05:55.490 --> 0:05:58.030 Agencies assessed that the threat against Americans in the Middle 0:05:58.089 --> 0:06:00.830 East and other countries, including the U.S., as I said earlier, 0:06:01.190 --> 0:06:03.409 is at the highest level since the start of the 0:06:03.450 --> 0:06:04.290 war in February. 0:06:06.089 --> 0:06:07.310 That seems like a big deal to me. 0:06:07.940 --> 0:06:08.539 You would think. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.279 Material indicates Iran may have operatives in the United States. 0:06:15.180 --> 0:06:18.460 Iranian plans also include potential targets in Europe, U.S. 0:06:18.500 --> 0:06:22.640 Officials said. So there you go. Hopefully that doesn't happen. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:24.110 Yikes. 0:06:24.370 --> 0:06:24.550 Yeah. 0:06:26.270 --> 0:06:26.890 I happen to. 0:06:26.850 --> 0:06:30.890 Be venturing overseas later this year. I will keep my 0:06:30.910 --> 0:06:31.570 head on a swivel. 0:06:31.690 --> 0:06:35.070 Well, you're not going to Yemen, are you? 0:06:35.510 --> 0:06:36.250 That's classified. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.279 Why would you go to Yemen? 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.440 This time of year, it's so nice, so dusty. 0:06:42.660 --> 0:06:43.780 You got a really good deal. 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.980 So sandy. Oh, my God. Yeah, the dollar goes a 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:48.200 long way there. 0:06:48.339 --> 0:06:51.480 It's like when I was traveling during COVID. Man, we 0:06:51.500 --> 0:06:54.280 were flying for nothing, staying at nice hotels for nothing. 0:06:56.029 --> 0:06:58.250 Because nobody else was traveling. So you're doing that by 0:06:58.300 --> 0:06:59.020 going to the Middle East. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.640 Right, right. Excuse me, do you take U.S. dollars, American dollars? 0:07:04.740 --> 0:07:06.620 I'm an American, please? 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:07.560 No? 0:07:09.260 --> 0:07:13.370 Has there been any threat to, Michael, clip 33, please. 0:07:13.850 --> 0:07:17.270 Has there been any threat to America's greatest asset? 0:07:17.890 --> 0:07:19.490 By the way, I looked at one hell of a 0:07:19.510 --> 0:07:21.800 beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj, that ass. 0:07:24.540 --> 0:07:26.360 Has there been a threat to Nicki Minaj's ass? 0:07:27.060 --> 0:07:27.980 That's hard to miss. 0:07:30.820 --> 0:07:31.760 That's stand-up. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.179 That's hard to miss. 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:35.750 The Washington Monument. 0:07:37.110 --> 0:07:37.910 Yellowstone. 0:07:38.050 --> 0:07:41.290 The Capitol. I'm not... Nicki Minaj's gluteus. 0:07:42.010 --> 0:07:43.790 I'm not offended by that or bothered by that, really, 0:07:43.810 --> 0:07:46.750 but you wouldn't have to go back very many years. 0:07:48.050 --> 0:07:50.670 And if you played me that clip and said, here's 0:07:50.910 --> 0:07:53.470 a president of the United States in the year 2026 0:07:53.470 --> 0:07:54.250 at a campaign rally. 0:07:54.730 --> 0:07:55.370 In public. 0:07:55.450 --> 0:07:57.750 Talking about a chick's ass. Telling her to stand up 0:07:57.770 --> 0:07:59.550 so we can look at her ass. Using the word ass. 0:08:00.090 --> 0:08:02.110 It's very base. It's very. 0:08:02.130 --> 0:08:03.880 I would have thought, how would that. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.180 How do we get from where we are now in 0:08:06.180 --> 0:08:07.460 2012 to that? 0:08:07.860 --> 0:08:13.620 Yeah, nobody's sure past you. Nobody's really sure. Speaking of 0:08:13.700 --> 0:08:16.800 vacationing in Yemen, I thought this was interesting. The Iranian-backed 0:08:16.820 --> 0:08:21.310 Houthi militia in Yemen... is waging a propaganda war on 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.260 the kingdom in social media. As we explained to you all, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.160 was it last week or something like that? This is 0:08:28.220 --> 0:08:35.490 a huge battle between modern, Western-leaning, hey, let's do business, Islam, 0:08:36.179 --> 0:08:44.140 and 13th century crazy-ass fundamentalist let's-kill-all-the-infidels Islam. And the Houthis 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.040 are absolutely part of that latter group. So a key 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.800 character in Yemen's propaganda for the Middle East right now 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:56.010 is Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, they're going big with these claims 0:08:56.030 --> 0:08:59.970 that show associates of the Saudi royal court sent tapestries 0:09:00.470 --> 0:09:04.030 that had draped the holiest site in Islam to Mr. 0:09:04.150 --> 0:09:09.030 Epstein's rapey island. So apparently they'll believe anything in the 0:09:09.070 --> 0:09:12.950 Middle East, too, if it's on the Internet. So they're claiming, yeah, yeah, 0:09:13.010 --> 0:09:15.980 the very shrouds of Mecca, the Saudis sent them to 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:21.640 Jeffrey Epstein, his rapey island. So, yeah, that's what I heard. Yeah. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:22.880 And I didn't think I was going to hear the 0:09:23.020 --> 0:09:23.420 E word. 0:09:24.670 --> 0:09:29.809 They portray themselves as defenders of Islam against corrupt foreign influences. 0:09:31.630 --> 0:09:32.740 Oh, boy. 0:09:32.860 --> 0:09:37.020 If you thought around 2005, 2006, the whole radical fundamentalist 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.059 Islam battle thing was over, you're incorrect. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.079 Are you sure, Michael, that we're supposed to do that? 0:09:43.500 --> 0:09:44.059 Yeah. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:50.000 I thought specifically we had a conversation about that. I 0:09:50.020 --> 0:09:51.900 want to wait on this, Michael. I want to wait 0:09:52.020 --> 0:09:54.540 on this. I want clarification. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.660 Stand down, everyone, for whatever the hell. 0:09:58.140 --> 0:09:58.780 I have no idea. 0:10:00.380 --> 0:10:04.340 I won't do it. You can't make me do it. 0:10:04.500 --> 0:10:05.120 Bill Maher. 0:10:06.500 --> 0:10:10.820 Went to dinner with Trump again. And we might have 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.560 to play some of that a little bit later because 0:10:12.620 --> 0:10:14.840 his crowd hates that. The people who like Bill Maher 0:10:14.860 --> 0:10:17.180 hate the fact that he went to eat with Trump 0:10:17.540 --> 0:10:19.920 like he was going to eat with Hitler, remember, a 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.760 year or so ago. Bill Maher went out to eat 0:10:21.780 --> 0:10:26.950 with Trump again. And a lot of his supporters have 0:10:26.970 --> 0:10:27.850 gone crazy over that. 0:10:28.429 --> 0:10:30.990 But then did Trump not blast Maher? 0:10:31.170 --> 0:10:31.490 Yeah. 0:10:31.550 --> 0:10:32.010 So, yeah. 0:10:32.030 --> 0:10:34.689 And then so that's the follow up. So Bill Maher 0:10:34.730 --> 0:10:38.349 does his show Friday night. Talks about going to dinner 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:44.330 with Trump and says to his audience, shut up, bees. 0:10:44.570 --> 0:10:46.370 You know, I'm going to do whatever I want. And 0:10:48.470 --> 0:10:51.230 I think I can get further talking to Donald Trump 0:10:51.870 --> 0:10:53.650 face to face than you're going to get with your 0:10:53.690 --> 0:10:54.510 hashtag this. 0:10:54.410 --> 0:10:56.090 Or that on your Twitter feed, which is true. 0:10:56.550 --> 0:10:59.190 And according to sources, he and Trump had a very 0:10:59.650 --> 0:11:02.949 heated exchange about a bunch of topics throughout the meal, 0:11:03.470 --> 0:11:06.450 but parted as friends who agree to disagree or whatever. 0:11:08.140 --> 0:11:13.960 Trump then yesterday put out the longest truth social he's 0:11:14.140 --> 0:11:16.580 ever put out. It looks like Moby Dick in its 0:11:16.700 --> 0:11:18.940 length to very long. 0:11:19.020 --> 0:11:19.359 So long. 0:11:19.380 --> 0:11:20.000 I haven't read it. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.700 I mean, it's just a gazillion words about how much 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.720 he hates Bill Maher and what a loser he is 0:11:25.780 --> 0:11:28.220 and a pothead with no ratings and all these different sorts. 0:11:28.300 --> 0:11:29.660 I don't know where that came from. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:30.720 Oh, boy. 0:11:30.740 --> 0:11:35.160 I mean, we can't read it on there because we 0:11:35.179 --> 0:11:38.510 don't have time. We'd have to. you know, stay on 0:11:38.550 --> 0:11:39.220 for an extra hour. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.400 I have some excerpts, but yeah. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.100 Well, I would like to hear some excerpts, but they 0:11:43.420 --> 0:11:44.640 certainly can't read the entire thing. 0:11:45.660 --> 0:11:47.500 But do we have any idea what set him off? 0:11:49.300 --> 0:11:52.060 Well, here's one part of it. No sooner... Oh, that 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:58.730 was the first dinner. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, my God. Oh, 0:11:58.809 --> 0:12:00.370 holy cow. It's still going on. 0:12:00.490 --> 0:12:03.469 Yeah. It's insanely long. 0:12:03.710 --> 0:12:04.160 Well.... 0:12:06.570 --> 0:12:09.360 All I've seen is the screenshot of the two posts, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.060 and it looks crazy without even reading it. 0:12:13.100 --> 0:12:19.180 I mean, who goes on a rant like that? And why? 0:12:20.150 --> 0:12:23.490 Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine going on for that long. 0:12:23.510 --> 0:12:30.080 And Bill's been attacking woke super effectively, too. 0:12:31.309 --> 0:12:31.730 Oh, yeah. 0:12:31.850 --> 0:12:34.220 And standing up for we needed to stop Iran from 0:12:34.270 --> 0:12:38.140 getting a the bomb. He had Sam Harris on in 0:12:38.179 --> 0:12:42.480 his basement show. Sam Harris, who hates Trump, atheist Sam Harris, 0:12:42.820 --> 0:12:46.600 said Obama and Biden did nothing to stop Iran from 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.030 getting a nuclear weapon. And somebody had to. So, I mean, 0:12:49.309 --> 0:12:52.010 there are people in the Bill Maher world who stand 0:12:52.050 --> 0:12:53.930 up for some of Trump's policy. So I don't know 0:12:53.970 --> 0:12:56.890 why Trump went on such a how many words do 0:12:56.910 --> 0:12:58.230 you suppose the two of those are? 0:12:59.190 --> 0:13:02.550 I guess he really, judging from the context here in 0:13:02.610 --> 0:13:07.010 Chapter 11, he's blasting the show from the other night 0:13:07.070 --> 0:13:12.360 for being dishonest with Caroline Leavitt about illegal voters in 0:13:12.460 --> 0:13:14.080 California or something. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.020 You know something about this, Katie? It is 1,300 words. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:17.600 Total? 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.420 Total. That's a long post. That's a long one. Well, 0:13:22.580 --> 0:13:24.480 Joe will dig out the highlights of that later. 0:13:25.260 --> 0:13:28.319 Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he's a major pothead, 0:13:28.500 --> 0:13:31.740 all caps. He's got to stop. It's very bad for 0:13:31.780 --> 0:13:33.460 his health. He looked like hell this time. Bill was 0:13:33.540 --> 0:13:35.680 drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked 0:13:35.700 --> 0:13:38.860 through the White House. Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock 0:13:38.940 --> 0:13:41.260 came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:47.830 good meeting. 1,300 words later. This is better art than 0:13:47.870 --> 0:13:49.470 that damn Elizabeth. 0:13:49.130 --> 0:13:49.910 Holmes movie I'm talking about. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.339 OK, and then we got to get into some of 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.160 what Barack Obama had to say on the campaign trail 0:13:56.179 --> 0:13:57.270 and a bunch of other stuff coming up. 0:13:57.290 --> 0:13:57.570 Stay here. 0:13:59.110 --> 0:14:08.140 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:14:10.270 --> 0:14:12.510 If you can find a set or photo than these 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:16.500 grown men at Comic-Con trying and failing to break the 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.320 world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Spider-Man, 0:14:20.340 --> 0:14:24.710 I don't want to see it. Let me put it 0:14:24.750 --> 0:14:27.150 this way, guys. I know your name is Peter Parker, 0:14:27.210 --> 0:14:29.170 but I can think of one place you won't be 0:14:29.230 --> 0:14:30.030 parking your Peter. 0:14:31.950 --> 0:14:32.830 Oh, no! 0:14:32.890 --> 0:14:35.200 That was a double waiting there. That was an entendre. 0:14:36.030 --> 0:14:39.930 Bill Maher, I was trying to pick through the 1,200-plus 0:14:39.950 --> 0:14:42.730 word Trump screed against Bill Maher to have some more 0:14:42.770 --> 0:14:45.550 fun with it, but it's like one of those Atlantic 0:14:45.750 --> 0:14:49.670 cover articles that just stretches on page after page, and 0:14:49.710 --> 0:14:52.130 he goes into all sorts of detail about the genesis 0:14:52.170 --> 0:14:54.460 of The Apprentice and how that dragged other shows along 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.400 and how The Apprentice really made a bunch of people's careers, 0:14:57.460 --> 0:14:59.320 and some people think it actually made my career, but 0:14:59.380 --> 0:15:01.979 I would have won anyway. Anyway, Bill Maher, blah, blah, blah. 0:15:02.180 --> 0:15:02.940 I just gave up. 0:15:04.180 --> 0:15:05.320 What do you suppose happened there? 0:15:09.570 --> 0:15:11.590 The thing that seems to really have set him off 0:15:11.650 --> 0:15:15.190 was talking about voting in California, I guess. I don't know. 0:15:15.310 --> 0:15:19.170 Or Caroline Leavitt being on his show. I don't know. 0:15:19.250 --> 0:15:21.430 He goes into the whole history of the first dinner 0:15:21.510 --> 0:15:24.260 and mocking his low ratings. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.640 And he doesn't think that that drew more attention to 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.920 Bill Maher and things Bill Maher said as opposed to 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:30.820 just ignoring it. 0:15:32.890 --> 0:15:35.430 After the second dinner, Bill's show was far worse than 0:15:35.450 --> 0:15:38.080 the first. He went crazy. He's gutless because he enjoyed 0:15:38.130 --> 0:15:40.800 every minute at the White House. Also, I am not 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.720 building a swimming pool in the White House briefing room 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.260 and never had any intention of doing so. Were there 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.979 jokes made about that? I don't know. How does he 0:15:48.020 --> 0:15:50.040 have time for this? Because he doesn't sleep, I guess. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.060 Not that many people watch Bill Maher. To ignore it 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.460 would have been a better strategy. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.160 Yeah. Yeah. 0:15:58.880 --> 0:15:59.140 Yeah. 0:15:59.500 --> 0:16:00.340 Wow. Okay. 0:16:00.860 --> 0:16:04.320 It's not worth talking about. So I love this headline. 0:16:04.340 --> 0:16:08.440 AI hacks are coming thick and fast and overwhelming the Internet. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.340 Criminals are turning to next generation AI powered hacking tools 0:16:12.420 --> 0:16:16.220 as a serious Internet flaw gives birth to Black October. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.000 This was the one we were talking. 0:16:17.820 --> 0:16:19.100 About last week. 0:16:20.660 --> 0:16:24.480 Wave of artificial intelligence powered hacks. Blah, blah, blah. I 0:16:24.500 --> 0:16:27.150 could give you all the details. words that don't mean 0:16:27.310 --> 0:16:29.090 anything to most of us about what sort of hack 0:16:29.130 --> 0:16:31.150 it was and how it worked but i came across 0:16:31.210 --> 0:16:34.930 this uh column by james lilacs whose work i had 0:16:35.050 --> 0:16:38.710 not known but he describes the thing in some you 0:16:38.730 --> 0:16:41.450 know with some sarcasm about the complexity and the sort 0:16:41.470 --> 0:16:44.650 of bug it was blah blah blah um and he 0:16:44.710 --> 0:16:48.010 talks about one ai expert he saw who is discussing 0:16:48.070 --> 0:16:52.280 this um One sober account on X compiled a long 0:16:52.300 --> 0:16:54.060 list of breaches and events, each of which would have 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.540 been the worst thing to happen in a year, and 0:16:55.620 --> 0:16:57.140 concluded with a list of things you can do to 0:16:57.180 --> 0:17:00.600 be safe, like enabling two-factor identification on your bank accounts, 0:17:00.900 --> 0:17:03.090 making sure your phone number was locked down, and also 0:17:03.300 --> 0:17:05.369 you might want to buy some bottled water and have 0:17:05.430 --> 0:17:06.190 cash on hand. 0:17:06.630 --> 0:17:08.399 Seriously. What was that last one? 0:17:08.890 --> 0:17:11.050 Well, exactly. He said, apparently in the modern era, we 0:17:11.090 --> 0:17:15.300 go from bank scramble to water purification system shutdown in 0:17:15.300 --> 0:17:17.540 48 hours. This is like being told you should make 0:17:17.580 --> 0:17:20.399 sure your doors are locked before you go to sleep 0:17:20.820 --> 0:17:24.110 as a normal, sensible precaution, but also hang some garlic 0:17:24.190 --> 0:17:27.810 and keep some sharpened steaks on hand. Uh-uh. Why? Just 0:17:27.850 --> 0:17:31.590 being doubly cautious. Yeah, but those are vampire-related things. Are 0:17:31.609 --> 0:17:36.210 there vampires about? No one is reporting vampires, although the 0:17:36.250 --> 0:17:39.270 attacks did stop when the white hat hackers started texting 0:17:39.330 --> 0:17:42.689 cross emojis. Anyway, remember, your bank will never text you 0:17:42.730 --> 0:17:44.889 for a password. If they do, hold the phone up 0:17:44.950 --> 0:17:47.230 to a mirror, and if the message does not have 0:17:47.260 --> 0:17:50.660 a reflection, it's a scammer. You mean a vampire. Well, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:55.450 let's just say a scampire. What he's saying is... You 0:17:55.490 --> 0:17:59.050 have these things we barely understand and predictions of horror. 0:17:59.070 --> 0:18:01.170 And it's like, how did we go from there to 0:18:01.230 --> 0:18:04.669 there so quickly? And how is everybody going to be unemployed? 0:18:05.050 --> 0:18:07.790 Because that's the feeling I have, too. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.080 Yeah, I had a lot of conversations last night with 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.720 a bunch of very successful people around this whole AI 0:18:15.780 --> 0:18:17.300 thing and how they're going to take the money and 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.879 doil it out and everything like that. I have to 0:18:18.940 --> 0:18:19.720 talk about that later. 0:18:20.220 --> 0:18:22.119 Dig up your guns and bury your gold. 0:18:22.140 --> 0:18:35.770 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:44.740 I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from 0:18:44.780 --> 0:18:47.160 becoming a United States Senator. 0:18:47.619 --> 0:18:50.440 And that's the fact. I'm not going to let that happen. 0:18:54.420 --> 0:18:59.100 Who's he talking about? He goes on in one of 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.350 his many campaign rallies he had over the weekend. 0:19:01.970 --> 0:19:04.950 Anyone with that record of support for jihadists would be 0:19:05.109 --> 0:19:08.480 screened and unable to get a seat on an airplane. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.540 They certainly should not give him a seat in the 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:12.760 United States Senate. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.850 So Obama is also out there on the campaign trail, 0:19:23.890 --> 0:19:25.770 and Obama's really good at that sort of thing. But 0:19:25.810 --> 0:19:28.270 he said one thing that I definitely want to straighten out, 0:19:28.330 --> 0:19:29.810 just in case it comes up ever in one of 0:19:29.830 --> 0:19:34.389 your conversations. This is one of Obama's blasts against Trump 0:19:34.609 --> 0:19:37.070 at a rally in Ohio over the weekend. 0:19:37.109 --> 0:19:39.629 This is about the war in Iran. 42, Michael. 0:19:40.150 --> 0:19:47.000 The current president chose to make a series of bad decisions. 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:54.419 Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:59.320 nobody asked for and nobody voted for. So seven months later, 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.420 how's that war going? Our allies and our bases have 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:10.970 been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have 0:20:11.030 --> 0:20:16.369 been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. 0:20:18.550 --> 0:20:22.450 And Iran now has veto power over the Strait. 0:20:22.170 --> 0:20:25.609 Of Hormuz where oil goes through to the world market. 0:20:26.890 --> 0:20:30.649 This is the reason why the price of oil is up. 0:20:31.710 --> 0:20:35.990 Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of 0:20:36.050 --> 0:20:40.510 diesel is up. This is the reason why the price 0:20:40.609 --> 0:20:42.950 of just about everything is up. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:49.980 So Obama, Obama, like Jimmy Carter, was so hell bent 0:20:50.340 --> 0:20:54.880 on having no military adventurism of any kind that they 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.900 ignored several problems around the world. Iran being big for 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.159 both of them. putting other presidents in the situation of 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:04.760 having to deal with it, but then they get to 0:21:04.820 --> 0:21:06.860
