1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: A lot of you won't hear this live. But as 5 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: of our speaking, the Nasdaq is down, SMP's down about 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: two twenty three, the Dow is down about fourteen hundred. 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: This is just today. We're not talking about yesterday and today. 8 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about since the Dow is down almost 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds just today from last night's big drop and 10 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: then you got your nasdack down about six fifty. 11 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of percentages, just because the Dow 12 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: Jones industrial average is worth forty thousand dollars. In the 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: S and P five hundred is five thousand, so you 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: have to do a bunch of math in you had 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 3: to understand. But so it's the S and P which 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 3: is really to me the one to look at, is 17 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: down just under four percent on the day. 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: After going down what four percent yesterday. 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Something like that. Yeah, let me do one week. 20 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. None of this is step back from the cliff. 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: None of this is proof that this isn't gonna work out. 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: But it's not good news. Anybody who claims it's yeah, 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: I would say. 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: It's concerning correction. 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: Territory down ten percent. Anyway, I saw yesterday year over year, 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: I think it was the S and P was still 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 3: up four percent. Well, it may not be true anymore, 28 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: but again, this all could be so wildly different. 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: Tuesday of next week. 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely if if Trump announces over the weekend we won. 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: We did it.

That's pretty good, Hike who 347 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: you get it? 348 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: And then one more attempted humor from my own phone 349 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: from somebody who's not having a good day, who texted, 350 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: I want to move to a land where I don't 351 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: speak the language and hand out melons on the beach. 352 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: That is really funny. We've all had that feeling. 353 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, a little bonus mail bag for you 354 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: here you can drop this line. If you want mail 355 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: bag at Armstrong getty dot com, you got to get 356 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: the website right, Joseph mail bag at Armstrong and getty 357 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 3: dot com. 358 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: And rights. 359 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: Why Democrats go to the twenty side of eighty twenty issues? 360 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: I think we're talking specifically about California Democrats and the 361 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: boys and girls sports madness that not even twenty percent 362 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 3: of American sport the. 363 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: Same nationally with a bunch of different things that they're 364 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: on the wrong side of. Why are you doubling down 365 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: on something that you're clearly lost on, like booting illegals 366 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: out of the country? Right? 367 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 3: So Ann Wright say, I understood the power of political 368 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 3: imagery and symbolism as a young child in the eighties. 369 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 3: I remember when Jesse Jackson was running in the Democratic primary, 370 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: and to me, the most powerful asset his campaign had 371 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 3: was a black and white picture of a young Jesse 372 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: arm in arm with civil rights leaders including MLK, marching 373 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: in the South in the sixties. No doubt it was 374 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: extremely powerful proof of commitment to a righteous cause at 375 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: a time when that cause was controversial and when being 376 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 3: on the wrong side could put you in danger, not 377 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 3: of having your Columbia scholarship young but being killed. 378 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: It's true. 379 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 3: I view progressive behavior as this generation's attempt to get 380 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: their civil rights march photo to canonize their moral superiority, 381 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 3: per Ezra Cline's idea that we should give power to 382 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 3: the most morally superior and superficially selfless of us. They're 383 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: stuck in this cycle, going back to black civil rights 384 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: and passing through gay marriage and other important breakthroughs. Their 385 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 3: hope is that in ten years transgenderism is more popular 386 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 3: than today, that men slamming volleyballs into women's faces will 387 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: be thought of like black folks were intimidated away from 388 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 3: polling places. 389 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hell of a stretch. 390 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: But what scares me is that I know now this 391 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: appetite is insatiable. If we declared every civil right for 392 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: the transgender community they've requested, they would simply look to 393 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 3: the next group to victim afy to be saved by 394 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 3: another group of progressives. 395 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: That could be pedophiles. Oh no, it's not pedophiles. 396 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: It's what is the There's a term, a cleaned out 397 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: term that they use now on the far progressive left 398 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: about a minor, minor attracted individuals. 399 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: Right, that's right. 400 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so, yeah, sure enough, And they've already begun with pedophiles, 401 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 3: maybe asexuals, I don't know, but they will find the 402 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 3: next group to lift up and save with the moral 403 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: superiority as if they are ending segregation. It feels too 404 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: good and it is too politically powerful one, as James 405 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: Lindsay would point out, that if you are on the 406 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: wrong side of that, they shame you and cancel you 407 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: and take your power away from you and appropriate it 408 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 3: to themselves with these fake moral arguments. I thought this 409 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: was good, talking about the question of free will and 410 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 3: how your ezraklines and your progressives believe you just got lucky. 411 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 3: You didn't make your success, you were just born in 412 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: a place and had these genetic gifts and parents or whatever, and. 413 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 2: So we need to equalize everything. 414 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. And the more important part is that's a fine belief. 415 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 1: Then you go to the and the government's role is 416 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: to deal with those you know, unfair situations, try to 417 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: level them out. Okay, how are you going to do that? 418 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 8: Yeah? 419 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: And we read one note earlier that was great from 420 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 3: Turlock Holmes. I'll skip to the the second half. This 421 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 3: is the gospel, the new gospel that the individual is powerless. 422 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 3: Personal achievement is a mirage, and redemption lies not an effort, 423 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: but in obedience to the system. They've merely swept God 424 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: for the system, sin for privilege, and grace for ideological compliance. 425 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 3: It's original sin and woke clothing. When you're born guilty, 426 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 3: you can't redeem yourself and must submit to the new priesthood. 427 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 3: Let's see. And then this from Powello. You guys, we're 428 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 3: talking about how some people suggest there's no free will. 429 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: We just do what we do in the idea that 430 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: we actually choose anything or have any ability to influence 431 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 3: our outcomes in life is just an illusion. We can't 432 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 3: actually prove or disprove that idea, but it's easy to 433 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 3: see how believing it and acting accordingly is foolish. If 434 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 3: we really have no free will and no ability to 435 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 3: influence our lives and our outcomes, then it doesn't really 436 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 3: matter what we believe or what we do. Whatever we 437 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: will be will be no matter what choices we think 438 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 3: we're making. That's another way of saying that we have 439 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 3: nothing to lose by believing in free will, and we 440 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: have a lot to lose by not believing in it. 441 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 3: In fact, a belief that we have no real agency 442 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 3: robs us of whatever agency we have. 443 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 2: Wow. 444 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: Man, We should. 445 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 3: View anyone who tries Here's the key part. This is 446 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: your takeaway. We should view anyone who tries to convince 447 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 3: us of our lack of agency and free will as 448 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: a person trying to appropriate it for their own purposes. 449 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: We should assume that they have every belief in the 450 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: our own agency and free will, and we should not 451 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: trust them to use it in our best interests. Wow. 452 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Does Ezra Kleine, for instance, does he believe that he 453 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: got to where he is one of the most important 454 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: journalists in America, certainly for the left anyway? Does he 455 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: really think he got to where he is? Surely through 456 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: like luck. Surely somewhere in his mind he thinks, yeah, 457 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: I did that. You know, I worked my ass off, 458 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: I did this, I made that choice. I turned down 459 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: this job but took that one. 460 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 3: I think if you fed them sodium pentathal or put 461 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: him on the rack or something, he might shriek. Finally, 462 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: you're right, I believe that about everybody but me. I 463 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 3: think I did it and I deserve the credit. But 464 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 3: everybody else it was just luck. Therefore, we even need equity, 465 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 3: and no, I'm not writing checks to the government from 466 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: my princely salaries, even though I say that everybody should 467 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: pay higher taxes. 468 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: Please, shit app unfair. 469 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 3: One final note from the world a mail bag on 470 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: the topic of the culture of instant gratification. We were 471 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 3: talking about that and how it exists today and how 472 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: it's allowed to exist today, and the nexus between instant 473 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 3: gratification and cheap, crappy stuff from China. Got this from K. 474 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 3: I think large international corporation started outsourcing before the culture 475 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: of instant gratification really took hold. In fact, I think 476 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 3: the outsourcing is partly to blame. They saw an opportunity 477 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: to make products incredibly cheaply, and the Chinese companies saw 478 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 3: a market for their cheap garbage. In many cases, the 479 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 3: Chinese government subsidized production to lower the cost and intentionally 480 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: undermine the market for higher quality American made goods. We 481 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 3: used to own one or two pairs of really nice genes, 482 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: one pair of good shoes because that's all we could afford. 483 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 3: But their high quality and lasted longer. The Chai comes 484 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 3: in their monthly. National corporations flooded the market with cheaply 485 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,719 Speaker 3: made crap. We bought it not realizing it was cheap garbage. 486 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 3: We just liked the price. But by the time we 487 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 3: realized we were being duped, all the high quality products 488 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 3: for a little more had been replaced by junk. Now 489 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 3: we can buy whatever we want for cheap, throw it away, 490 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 3: and buy another one in six months, which gives you 491 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 3: that shot of endorphins that you know retail therapy. 492 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 2: We didn't ask for this change. It was foisted upon us. 493 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: Again, this was an intentional strategy by the shy comms China. 494 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: That's right, sir. We talk about free trade and that's great. 495 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: But if we're the only ones engaging in the free 496 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 3: trade and everyone else is taking advantage of us, maybe 497 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 3: we need to fight back and try to coerce the 498 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 3: rest of the world to engage in the same kind 499 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 3: of free trade that we engage in. Yeah, I'm in 500 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: favor of that. If there's actual predatory trade. Sure, I 501 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: don't feel. 502 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: Like there's any reason. You know, I'm not a control 503 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: of the economy guy. Free market choices give people what 504 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: they want sort of thing. But I feel like there's 505 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: no reason there should be a thirty five dollars toaster. 506 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: That's actually worth four dollars. That exists on Earth. I 507 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: don't even know why it shouldn't be made. It shouldn't 508 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: be bought, shouldn't exist. 509 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 3: I'm traveling in a foreign country and I need a 510 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: toaster for four days. Yeah, that's about the only justification. 511 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 3: All right, one more dad joke, Frank, you're CUB reporter 512 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 3: in San Diego. Our CUB reporter says, this is just 513 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 3: in for Jack.

They did 534 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: the best one is escalators continue their slow to close. 535 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: We will finish strong next. 536 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: I like the sentiment so much. I want to move 537 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: to a land where I don't speak the language and 538 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: hand out melons on the beach. It's just something about that. 539 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great I'm done. 540 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: Just smile pleasantly at people and hand them a melon, right. 541 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I don't expect anything return, So I've always well, first 542 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: of all, this Russell Brand came on the scene as 543 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: a comedian, and I've never heard him say a single 544 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: thing that I thought was the slightest funny. So, but 545 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, to each their own, different people like different comedians, 546 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: but I've never thought he was funny at all. He's 547 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: in some TV shows, then he married Katie Perry for 548 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, and then he Maybe I'm wrong 549 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: on this, but in my mind the order is he's there, 550 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: starts to be burbling all kinds of me too problems. 551 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: Then he becomes super religious and becomes a Fox News favorite. 552 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I have the order wrong on that. I feel 553 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: like his is. 554 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: Uh, you're implying there's causation. Might merely be correlation or 555 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 3: vice versa. 556 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: No one or you could live a not so great 557 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: life and then decide, you know what, I was on 558 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: the wrong path and become religious. That's like the history 559 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: of every saint practically. Yeah, so you know, none wrong 560 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: with that. I'm not whether or not he's disingenuous or not. Anyway, 561 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: came out today the British police have charged Russell Brand 562 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: with rape and sexual assault or a period of many years. 563 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: And he was on Hannity like two nights ago for 564 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: a really long interview. Yeah, this is Russell Brand's first 565 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: response to that. 566 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 6: I've always told you guys that when I was young 567 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 6: and single, before I had my wife and family were 568 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 6: just that shot over there, my beautiful children. I was 569 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 6: a fool man. I was a fool before I lived 570 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 6: in the likely Lord. I was a drug addict, a 571 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 6: sex addict, and an imbecile. But what I never was 572 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 6: was a rapist. I've never engaged in non consensual activity. 573 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 6: I pray that you can see that by looking in 574 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 6: my eyes. And of course I'm not going to have 575 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 6: the opportunity to defend these charges in court, and I'm 576 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 6: incredibly grateful for that. In the meantime, you lot stay 577 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 6: free and we will be continuing to discuss this matter. 578 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean to be completely fair. I mean, you got 579 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: to be fair in that. Okay. 580 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 8: So he. 581 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: Apparently slept around a lot, by his own admission, and 582 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: so he got a lot of women out there. I 583 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: don't know if it's dozens or one hundred who now know. 584 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: He's really rich with deep pockets, and he probably barely 585 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: remembers that night. 586 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 3: Anyway, Although this is a criminal charge as opposed to 587 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 3: a civil action, they might go hand in hand. 588 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: True. 589 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: That also, Yeah, as we've seen with some of the 590 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: Trump stuff, starts with one thing that doesn't work, then 591 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: it becomes of this right right. 592 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: I wanted to get to the fact that Marine Lapenn, 593 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 3: the leader of the UH, the right wingie party in France, 594 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 3: has been charged, found guilty, and barred from holding office. 595 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: For five years. 596 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: Probably there's an appeal thing going on, but it sounds 597 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: very very Trumpian. 598 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: Currently leading in the polls right for the next presidential 599 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: election in France, and she's been barred from politics because 600 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: she has found guilty of embezzlement, which she claims she 601 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: didn't do. Now maybe she did, but also maybe she didn't. 602 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: It's a little fudgy, you know. I don't like to 603 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: leap to conclusions if I don't have all the facts. 604 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 3: But it had to do with the money was supposed 605 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 3: to be for aides who did A. She was accused 606 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: of having them do B and she just said, well, no, 607 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 3: they didn't do A all the time. They didn't have to, 608 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: so they did some B and they said, nope, that's embezzling. 609 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 3: So you're barred from politics. It has a trumpy feel, 610 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: very much persecution to trump feeling, very much so. 611 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: And it's a classic thing you do, and you know, 612 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: not good politics is to jail the person you're most 613 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: afraid of or ban them from politics. Somehow. She's a 614 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: right winger, by the way, politician in France who really 615 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: really her issue is this immigration has got to stop. Yeah, 616 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: And she's the subject of the book Submission, which we've 617 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: recommended many many times, which the whole fiction novel portrays 618 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: her finally win and then the turn on the other 619 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: side from the Muslim population and the politics and everything 620 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: like that. M that's right after it starts with her 621 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: winning the presidency. 622 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: I need to reread that. 623 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: At the time when I read the book, I thought, well, 624 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: that will never happen. Well, it's gonna happen, I think. 625 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,959 Speaker 2: And she could happen in the future. She's leading the polls. 626 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, getting back to the Russell brand thing, you know, 627 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 3: the whole admitting I'm half a dozen kinds of bad 628 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 3: or have been, but not this bad is a very 629 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: convincing argument. People do it all the time because it 630 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 3: makes them look sincere. Just gotta look at the facts. 631 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 632 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: Oh y, it's tough, but you can be all kinds 633 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: of a male slut, but not a rapist. 634 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: Right right, Hey, kids, it's that time again with Armstrong 635 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 2: and Getty. 636 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Ginny.

Katie, thanks a lot for that, Michael. 649 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 7: Every time we bring up the ninety eight inch TV, 650 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 7: my husband goes nuts. 651 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: So it looks like we're gonna go to Costco and 652 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: get it cool.

I'm an 657 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: Apple guy for my son to play video games on. 658 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: Having all kinds of problems laggy viruses, bugs, spent two 659 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: hours on the phone with the geek Squad yesterday. Nothing 660 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: got fixed going in today. I hate stuff like that. 661 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: That's like my least favorite thing to do in life. 662 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: Oh I know it. My final thought is the whole 663 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 2: tariff's thing. 664 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 3: I usually feel like I can make half a prediction 665 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 3: of how something is gonna shake out. 666 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: I kind of have today. I think there's gonna be a. 667 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 3: Real rewind, a claim of victory here there and there, 668 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 3: and then back to something like normal. I kind of 669 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: hope that's the case, right, but my degree of certainty 670 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 3: is low. 671 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: As opposed to really putting this to the test over 672 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: six months or a year or longer. I can't imagine 673 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: that Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, 674 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: so many people will think, so little time. 675 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 3: Go to Armstrong and Getty dot com.
