Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty,
Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: This week, Kamala Harris will give her first public remarks
Speaker 2: since leaving office in January, and to preparees, he's been
Speaker 2: working with two new speech writers named Gray and Goose.
Speaker 2: Wow the continuing season, Harris will be speaking at an
Speaker 2: event that trains women to run for office as Democrats.
Speaker 2: According to Kamala, step one is writing a great concession speech.
Speaker 3: I was looking up at the TVs on this the
Speaker 3: one hundredth day of Trump being president, which they make
Speaker 3: too big a deal out of, but it's funny. Cnnn
Speaker 3: SNBC have varieties of headlines like one hundred days of
Speaker 3: turmoil and that sort of thing, disastrous start, and Fox
Speaker 3: had historic start to presidency one hundred days, which is accurate.
Speaker 1: Well literally, Yes, historians will write about it.
Speaker 3: Yes, although this is worth pointing out. This is a
Speaker 3: big thing they're talking about on Fox and Friends day.
Speaker 3: The total media coverage, mainstream media coverage for Trump has
Speaker 3: been ninety two percent negative. Wow, even with all the
Speaker 3: things he did that have majority support. Yeah, especially going
Speaker 3: back to the first part of one hundred days, ninety
Speaker 3: two percent negative.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: Amazing that any Republican doesn't spend their lives at twenty
Speaker 3: percent approval with the media coverage you get.
Speaker 1: So wonder Republicans ever win an election. Yeah, wildly unfair.
Speaker 1: But who will win the next time around? Jack? Perhaps
Speaker 1: it's young Gavin Newsom of California. Young? But who old
Speaker 1: is Gavin Newsom? I think he's my age. I think
Speaker 1: I've looked this up before you we're exactly the same age. Okay,
Speaker 1: So who is this young Gavin Newsom? He says, continuing,
Speaker 1: and they start with a question. Bill Maher asked Newsom
Speaker 1: not long ago, your future is in Iowa. Let's dispense
Speaker 1: with the bull crap. Are you gonna do it or not?
Speaker 1: I don't have any grand plans like why you know,
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons Barack Obama got elected is
Speaker 1: he was just honest about that when he was asked
Speaker 1: those kind of questions. Yeah. Yeah, Well. John McCormack wrote
Speaker 1: a great piece for The Dispatch against or about Newsom
Speaker 1: rather and include some handy biographical stuff. As we discuss
Speaker 1: our he'p been helping a Gavin with a side dish
Speaker 1: of JB. Prisker. Stay tuned, but from a young young
Speaker 1: I don't have any grand plans. Who is that for?
Speaker 1: Gavey has Harbard presidential ambitions? His political patron, former San
Speaker 1: fran mayor Willy Brown. What that under plays who Willy was?
Speaker 1: He was the most speaker of pro temothcent. He's the
Speaker 1: most powerful politician in California for like twenty years. Anyway.
Speaker 1: He recalled in a recent interview that the first time
Speaker 1: Newsom was elected to the Board of Supervisors in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight, one of his buddies proceeded to toast him. Quote,
Speaker 1: mister mayor, the next time we'll be toasting this man
Speaker 1: on his birthday, he'll be in the White House, sixteen
Speaker 1: hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, and you're invited. And that was before
Speaker 1: he was anything, said Willy Brown in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: when asked if Newsom had his eyes on the White House. Quote,
Speaker 1: there's no way in the world anybody who's ever met
Speaker 1: him would answer that question any differently. He'd all he
Speaker 1: would like already to be president. It's a weird thing.
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton has talked about this.
Speaker 3: That we we admire ambition in every realm of life
Speaker 3: except being president of the United States. For some reason,
Speaker 3: we act like, you know, if you want to be
Speaker 3: the greatest guitar player in the world, the greatest basketball
Speaker 3: player in the world, the greatest car maker in the
Speaker 3: world from a.
Speaker 1: Young age, it's admired.
Speaker 3: But if you ever say you want to be president
Speaker 3: at any point in your life, it's held against you.
Speaker 3: Is like something bad, which is weird, and.
Speaker 1: Then what the hell is going on? And then you
Speaker 1: have it. But that's a tradition or a value that
Speaker 1: goes back a couple hundred years. I get it, but.
Speaker 3: Why is it still around? I don't I don't understand
Speaker 3: it. It doesn't make any sense to me. And then why
Speaker 3: do people obviously lie about it?
Speaker 1: It makes sense to me because you're not saying I
Speaker 1: want achievement. It's I want power, or that's the way
Speaker 1: it's seen, I want power, and that's scene as unseemly.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody ad buys it when they hear it.
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, that's a good point. So Gavy grew
Speaker 1: up in a politically connected San Francisco families father was
Speaker 1: a judge who was close to the Getty family, not
Speaker 1: Joe Getty, but the oil people and art museums and
Speaker 1: all heirs to an ill fortune, the bankrolled democratic politics
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, and his aunt married Nancy Pelosi's
Speaker 1: brother in law. But Newsome tells the story of his
Speaker 1: mother motivating him blah blah blah after graduating in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty nine from the University of Santa Clair after a
Speaker 1: fake baseball career. He was a legacy who was admitted
Speaker 1: only because he was from a rich family. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, his baseball career was fake. I've heard about it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, yeah. He claims that he was a
Speaker 1: baseball scholarship admit blah blah blah, But no, he never
Speaker 1: played these I don't even think he's listed on rosters, okay,
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 3: So he was doing that before it became popular or
Speaker 3: well known.
Speaker 1: It's probably been popular forever, but oh forever. Oh wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: the Getty family got him in. We're all the way,
Speaker 1: we all fall short sometimes after Now, granted, he has
Speaker 1: also struggled with dyslexia his whole life, and I would
Speaker 1: never mock anybody for that. You know, he is pursuable.
Speaker 1: Get your b's and ds straight. Wow, Wow, that is
Speaker 1: so wrong. After graduating in eighty nine from the Universe
Speaker 1: Santa Clair, he launched a wine shop and restaurant business
Speaker 1: bankrolled by the Getties in nineteen ninety six before turning
Speaker 1: thirty and dowso got to start in politics when Willy
Speaker 1: Brown named it him to San Francisco's Parking Commission, you know,
Speaker 1: because of all of Gavin savvy and expertise on parking.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So the next year Brown gave Newton, but he didn't
Speaker 3: have to sleep with Willy Rown.
Speaker 1: Not that I know of. The next year, Brown gave
Speaker 1: Newsom a vacant spot on the Board of Supervisors, etca,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And it's a very Kamala Harris esque rise.
Speaker 1: If you get California, if you get tagged by the
Speaker 1: powerful in certain cities in certain states, man, you're.
Speaker 3: You are really set. I mean, you have to go
Speaker 3: out of your way to screw it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well said so. Shifting over to something Jeff
Speaker 1: Blair wrote for The National Review, he comments on the
Speaker 1: conversation Gavy Boy had with Charlie Kirk that made waves
Speaker 1: by conceding that there's unfairness in men competing in women's sports.
Speaker 1: Anybody would half a brain knows that barely. The Supreme
Speaker 1: Court of Britain just ruled unanimously that no, you're not
Speaker 1: a woman just because you declare yourself a woman. Anyway,
Speaker 1: but Jeff points out that there have been multiple opportunities
Speaker 1: for Gavin to turn that belief into influence or legislation
Speaker 1: or a rule or anything in California since that conversation,
Speaker 1: and it's just absolutely disappeared. He has had multiple opportunities
Speaker 1: to say, hey, remember why I said that's unfair. But no,
Speaker 1: he is a politician with an extremely close eye on
Speaker 1: which side his bread is buttered, as Jeff pointed out,
Speaker 1: and he also says, remember this is the guy who
Speaker 1: appointed the president of Emily's List. That's the big lefty fundraiser,
Speaker 1: a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, to phill Diane Feinstein's
Speaker 1: vacant Senate seat for a year because he knows exactly
Speaker 1: whom he wants to owe him favors when the time comes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's just a little more about Gavy than I move
Speaker 1: on to this drill, baby drill, and Gavin's hair. Alicia here,
Speaker 1: I laughed. Alicia Finley of The Wall Street Journal wrote
Speaker 1: a great piece that, you know, I wish we had
Speaker 1: time to just read the whole thing. The title is
Speaker 1: California keeps declining and Newsom tries to blame Trump. Say
Speaker 1: this for Gavin Newsom, He's a master of misdirection. California
Speaker 1: is losing jobs fifty four thousand, eight hundred during the
Speaker 1: first three months of this year. That's right, almost fifty
Speaker 1: five thousand jobs. Valero this month announced plans to close
Speaker 1: a major refinery portending gasoline shortages and price bikes. Insurance
Speaker 1: and electricity rates are soaring. Fifty four percent of Californians
Speaker 1: say things are going generally in the wrong direction, which
Speaker 1: is up fifteen points to see became governor. But by
Speaker 1: his telling, everything in the Golden State is going swimmingly,
Speaker 1: or was until Donald Trump started his tariff barrage. And
Speaker 1: one interesting factoid within this article, which is one of
Speaker 1: the more intelligent and effective takedowns a gavvy boy that
Speaker 1: I've read in a long time. They point out that
Speaker 1: Gavin was just boasting that California last year overtook Japan
Speaker 1: to become the world's fourth largest economy. California is and
Speaker 1: just keep it pace with the world. We're setting the pace,
Speaker 1: he tooted. While we celebrate this success, we recognize that
Speaker 1: our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of
Speaker 1: the current federal administration. Were't no fans of the tariff
Speaker 1: policies around here, But Alicia points out that a tortoise
Speaker 1: can beat a snail, but that doesn't mean it's fast.
Speaker 1: Japan's sluggish growth, weakened currency, and relatively low inflation over
Speaker 1: the past several years allowed California to surpass its nominal
Speaker 1: gross domestic product, But it's a economy. California's economy grew
Speaker 1: at half the pace of Florida's over the last five years.
Speaker 1: Didn't know that. And here's the really interesting part. And
Speaker 1: I tweeted about this the other day because people don't
Speaker 1: get this. If your like average income is in country
Speaker 1: A is seventy five thousand dollars a year, and country
Speaker 1: B it's ten thousand dollars a year, well you're going
Speaker 1: to assume immediately that country B is downtrodden in a
Speaker 1: horrible place to live. But if the average home in
Speaker 1: country A is forty thousand dollars and it's fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars in country B. It's a very different, you know, adjustment.
Speaker 1: So interestingly, this isn't exactly an indictment of Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1: I just find it an interesting fact. The Golden State's
Speaker 1: GDP would rank eleventh in the world when adjusting for
Speaker 1: purchasing power. Oh wow, that according to a report by
Speaker 1: the California Center for Jobs in Economy.
Speaker 3: That is something I have explained to people ever since
Speaker 3: I moved to California about salaries, because I've known people
Speaker 3: who came to California because they're gonna pay, you know,
Speaker 3: multiples more than they were making for the same job
Speaker 3: in whatever state they were in. And I point out, well,
Speaker 3: let me explain you how much more expensive it is
Speaker 3: to live here. Right, You're purchasing power with the money
Speaker 3: you're gonna make, And.
Speaker 1: That's Alicia's main point in this. Yeah, you're gonna earn more,
Speaker 1: but your paychecks won't go as far. Filling up a
Speaker 1: Jeep will cost you one hundred dollars. Charging a Tesla
Speaker 1: is and much cheaper. Since California's electricity rates are double
Speaker 1: the rest of the countries and continue to climb owing
Speaker 1: to Newsom's reckless and idiotic climate policies.
Speaker 3: I plugged in the cyberbeast the other day, and at
Speaker 3: the end of it, I thought, that costs that much
Speaker 3: to charge that up?
Speaker 1: What's the advantage here? Listen to this? Would you? After
Speaker 1: all the rate hikes, nearly one in five households is
Speaker 1: behind on their utility payments oof in California. To afford
Speaker 1: a typical home in the state eight median sales price
Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty four thousand dollars. Wow, Californias need
Speaker 1: to earn nearly two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Wow, it wouldn't have been that long ago. You'd have
Speaker 3: thought even in California, let alone the rest of the country,
Speaker 3: you have a nine hundred thousand dollars house. You're really
Speaker 3: doing well. Now it says you're right in the middle.
Speaker 3: There's as many people with more expensive as less expensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're struggling to afford it. Many are increasingly
Speaker 1: struggling to find works as employers layoff workers and move
Speaker 1: jobs to more business friendly states like Texas. Since January
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, California has lost jobs in information about
Speaker 1: fifty four thousand lost sixty two thousand jobs in finance,
Speaker 1: lost forty nine thousand in professional and business services, lost
Speaker 1: fifty nine thousand in leisure and hospitalities, and lost seventy
Speaker 1: thousand jobs in manufacturing. There has been a bounce back
Speaker 1: after a pandemic, but more industry has been losing jobs
Speaker 1: since summer of twenty twenty two. But Gavy boy is
Speaker 1: going to try to blame Donald J. Trump and blame
Speaker 1: him all the way to the White House. There's more
Speaker 1: in the more evidence in the prosecution of Gavin Newsome,
Speaker 1: but we're out of time, and I think the point's
Speaker 1: been made for now. More to come.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's probably gonna run, so we'll get this
Speaker 3: pay attention to that. Then we have a new wrinkle
Speaker 3: in the Bill Belichick and his fifty year younger girlfriend's story.
Speaker 1: And hot, I mean, that's that's just a bad head.
Speaker 1: Unless you have the word hot in there, I'm not
Speaker 1: buying your headline. Gotta have a picture of her in
Speaker 1: her outfit when she was runner up and miss USA.
Speaker 1: Rovo Hot, among other dollar pissed a lot other things
Speaker 1: on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: Twenty four year old Jordan Hudson his creative muse as
Speaker 4: he writes in his book, Jordan was a constant presence
Speaker 4: during our interview.
Speaker 1: Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
Speaker 1: to try to do what I feel like is best
Speaker 1: for me and what's right. How did you guys meet?
Speaker 1: Not talking about this?
Speaker 3: No, no, So that's the story. From CBS Sunday Morning
Speaker 3: did a long interview with Bill Belichick, former football coaches.
Speaker 3: Has nothing to do with sports. He's a rich, famous
Speaker 3: old man. His girlfriend is fifty years younger, which is
Speaker 3: a lot a literal beauty queen. Yeah, actual beauty queen,
Speaker 3: and she kept interrupting the interview. The very confident, very successful,
Speaker 3: very glib Bill Belichick apparently needed his twenty four year
Speaker 3: old girlfriend to jump up when he was asked certain
Speaker 3: questions and intervene so he wouldn't answer.
Speaker 1: That is I'd be like me.
Speaker 3: Jumping in if Joe's asking a question because I don't
Speaker 3: think he can handle it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's cra I might be offended by, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about that, right, vice versa.
Speaker 3: That's just crazy, and so what is going on there
Speaker 3: exactly now? Megan Kelly on her podcast called it elder abuse,
Speaker 3: which might be the reason that they put out this
Speaker 3: email just in the last couple of hours. So they
Speaker 3: released an email in the last couple of hours. That's
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick emailing a number of people about the rollout
Speaker 3: of his book, which is what the interview is about,
Speaker 3: and how unfair the media coverage is and they're focusing
Speaker 3: on the wrong things in the book and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: It's unclear as to why they put this email out.
Speaker 3: It's not connected to the controversy. The controversy is your hoty,
Speaker 3: young girlfriend decides what questions you can answer, and how
Speaker 3: that just seems weird.
Speaker 1: You're the guy who isn't intimidated by anything, right, pays
Speaker 1: fines in the NFL rather than answer questions he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to answer, and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: So now you've got this young girlfriend. So I guess
Speaker 3: that's why Megan Kelly claimed held her abuse, like is
Speaker 3: he not capable of taking care of him? And he
Speaker 3: so anymore? And here's Greg Guttfeld's joke about the relationship.
Speaker 2: Finally, Bill Belichick's twenty four year old girlfriend was criticized
Speaker 2: for repeatedly interrupting his interview on CBS Sunday Morning. She
Speaker 2: also pulled the plugs of several cameras, which she called
Speaker 2: practice for later.
Speaker 1: That's what a bell. That's one of gutfells better jokes. Joke.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't so nobody knows why they put out
Speaker 3: this email. It doesn't it doesn't address the her interrupting
Speaker 3: unless this was like the show. See he's still got
Speaker 3: his mental faculties. Look how detailed this email is. I
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on there. And she said she'll
Speaker 3: have a full statement later today about the CBS thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody really cares. It's just kind of an
Speaker 3: interesting gossip.
Speaker 1: Issue statement about your previous statements. Nobody can figure out
Speaker 1: why you stated them. She always dresses like super hot.
Speaker 3: I mean, she doesn't downplay the fact that the why
Speaker 3: he might be with her again.
Speaker 1: Really admirable level of physical fitness for that young lady.
Speaker 1: I congratulate her. Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5: On India's streets. Anger at Pakistan is burning, India is
Speaker 5: flexing military muscle at sea. Pakistan warrns of war if
Speaker 5: India threatens its water supply. One of the deadliest attacks
Speaker 5: in years, an Indian administered Kashmir gunman opened fire on
Speaker 5: sightseers in the remote mountain valley of Pehelgum twenty five
Speaker 5: Indian citizens and an appal national dead. Police on the
Speaker 5: Indian side named three suspects, claiming two are Pakistani nationals.
Speaker 5: They link the attack to a Pakistan based Islamis group
Speaker 5: called lush garay Tayabah. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif denies
Speaker 5: any involvement.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So I had.
Speaker 3: A Pakistani uber driver in San Francisco on Saturday night
Speaker 3: and I brought this up. I asked him, Mari he
Speaker 3: was from. Very interesting young dude, really a go getter,
Speaker 3: I could tell. And I asked him, Mari he's from?
Speaker 3: And he said Pakistan? And I said, well, boy, are
Speaker 3: you and India going to go to war? He said, now,
Speaker 3: We're not going to go to war. We do this
Speaker 3: every so often. They sell patriotism. They both have reasons
Speaker 3: now and then to get everybody else stirred up again
Speaker 3: to cover up various other stories, he said, like, for instance, Mody.
Speaker 3: You probably haven't heard this, but one of the people
Speaker 3: that was trying to run against mody Is got thrown
Speaker 3: in jail and it was turning into a big story.
Speaker 3: So now this is happening, said, this happens on both
Speaker 3: sides all the time, and we've just gotten used to it.
Speaker 3: And I said, well I've and I don't know how
Speaker 3: much is this chorre now. I mean, he's just a
Speaker 3: regular guy, and he could have warped political views just
Speaker 3: like anybody you know could, or being misled by his
Speaker 3: own bubbled media.
Speaker 1: Who knows.
Speaker 3: But I brought up the I said, well, I've seen
Speaker 3: that whole thing at that one gate that they do
Speaker 3: every night, like at sunset, where the Pakistani guards.
Speaker 1: In the India.
Speaker 3: He said, yeah, that's my hometown. I said, it's a
Speaker 3: right by where I live. It's like two miles from
Speaker 3: my house.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. So if you've never seen this video, you
Speaker 1: should look for it on YouTube. It's something. There's a
Speaker 1: bridge that goes over a little river.
Speaker 3: It's a border between Pakistan and India, and they have
Speaker 3: soldiers on each side and they huff and puffin like
Speaker 3: glare at each other and slammed the gate closed and
Speaker 3: say various things.
Speaker 1: He said, but it's all very ceremonial, like they march looking.
Speaker 3: Hanged right, agitated, Yeah, right, he said, they just they're
Speaker 3: selling patriotism to tourists and people in their own countries
Speaker 3: to keep us all, you know, fired up about our
Speaker 3: own countries. It's all just fake for the politicians. And
Speaker 3: so that was his take on it.
Speaker 1: Although somebody slaughtered all those poor tourists.
Speaker 3: True, and like years ago when that horrifying Islamic mob
Speaker 3: I think from Pakistan went into that big ho hotel
Speaker 3: in I call it Bombay and slaughtered all those people.
Speaker 3: I mean that was real obviously hundreds dead. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: prize me that on a semi regular basis, you do
Speaker 3: a little dust up if it's of convenience to either side.
Speaker 1: You know, there are certainly Islamist mobs and Hindu mobs
Speaker 1: who are trying to get rid of the Muslims who
Speaker 1: you know, commit terrible, terrible crimes and provide you an
Speaker 1: excuse to fire everybody up. Yeah, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: probably like false flag operations, But.
Speaker 3: Different topic on this dude. Let's just ask him how
Speaker 3: why he came here or how he likes the United
Speaker 3: States or whatever. And he likes it, and he likes
Speaker 3: the culture of getting ahead and succeeding and doing things
Speaker 3: or coming up with an idea and everything He said
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist in his country, said.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be It's funny Americans are trying to
Speaker 1: squash that. But back to you, I know he didn't
Speaker 1: white supremacy, does he that Pakistani man understand he's part
Speaker 1: of white supremacy. The idea of that ambition and working
Speaker 1: hard will get you ahead is white supremacy, and he
Speaker 1: is how insidious I hate it.
Speaker 3: He was really happy that San Francisco had cleaned up
Speaker 3: the homeless situation, which they have by the way, if
Speaker 3: you haven't been into the like shopping areas of San
Speaker 3: Francisco lately, he was happy that they'd really cleaned it up,
Speaker 3: and how it was damaging business and all that sort
Speaker 3: of thing. He didn't throw out a single I feel
Speaker 3: so bad for those drug addicts. But he's talking about
Speaker 3: how people in the Middle East, he said, we have
Speaker 3: a different view in Middle East. Everybody wants to be rich,
Speaker 3: but nobody wants to accomplish anything. I'm using his words.
Speaker 3: I don't have any idea to what extent this is true.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe society is structured in such a way.
Speaker 3: I mean, mobility is difficult in most countries. You can't
Speaker 3: like go out and start a business and get ahead
Speaker 3: very easily. AnyWho, he said, everybody wants to show off
Speaker 3: how wealthy they are. He said, it's so such a
Speaker 3: big deal where I'm from to if you have an iPhone,
Speaker 3: you carry it in your front pocket and you put
Speaker 3: enough stuff in your pocket so that your iPhone sticks
Speaker 3: up out of your pocket so people can see the
Speaker 3: lens to make sure that they know you have an iPhone.
Speaker 3: I thought, wow, it was an interesting flex. And then
Speaker 3: he talked about his wife's from Dubai, and he said,
Speaker 3: even in Dubai, he said, you know what it costs
Speaker 3: to have to He said, like the most expensive car
Speaker 3: you can buy in the world is like eight million dollars,
Speaker 3: he said, but if you want to be impressive in Dubai,
Speaker 3: you have to spend sixty three million dollars. That's what
Speaker 3: license plate number one costs. The rich people buy the
Speaker 3: most expensive license plate, the higher the number of the
Speaker 3: rich you are. So license plate literally number one. So
Speaker 3: you're driving around a car I'm sure, a very expensive car,
Speaker 3: but has license number one on it. It's just a flex.
Speaker 3: It's no purpose other than the show how rich you are.
Speaker 3: He said, Like number five is like forty eight million dollars.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows this because that's the whole point is to
Speaker 3: show how you wealthy you are, which is, yeah, we
Speaker 3: wouldn't do anything. I mean, we do tawdry obviously, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of tons of conspicuous consumption and everything like that, but.
Speaker 1: Not at that level. I mean, that's I mean, that
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent pure.
Speaker 3: You might as well just I don't know why you
Speaker 3: just don't have a website where people can go look
Speaker 3: at your bank account.
Speaker 1: You know. That is I'm trying to think of other,
Speaker 1: you know, manifestations of that urge that I'm familiar with,
Speaker 1: But no, that's the most egregious one I've ever heard
Speaker 1: of in my life. I think you can go farther
Speaker 1: than that. If I'm Mark Zuckerberg wearing an eight hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars watch that nobody knows is an eight hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars watch except other super rich people. That's just
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars, I mean next to a sixty
Speaker 1: million dollar license plate. Please, that's that's a silly little babble.
Speaker 3: Well, Bezos's yacht, which I think was like a quarter
Speaker 3: dollar I mean that that. That's pretty conspicuous consumption. And
Speaker 3: it's not because he needed a yacht that big. He
Speaker 3: wanted to have the biggest yacht. But man, that's still
Speaker 3: pales in comparison to I have license plate number two
Speaker 3: and you can look it up. It's because I spent
Speaker 3: fifty six million dollars. It's crazy, isn't that what an
Speaker 3: interesting culture to me?
Speaker 1: License Plate number two is the first loser. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. You know,
Speaker 1: this is funny. I'm googling google most expensive yacht, but
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten past most expensive. First thing that pops up,
Speaker 1: most expensive Pokemon card, then most expensive car, watch, lego set,
Speaker 1: and baseball card.
Speaker 3: That's funny, Anus Wagner, isn't it the most expensive baseball card?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? What was that name again, Honus swag there, oh, homeless?
Speaker 1: The most good Lord. The most expensive yacht ever built
Speaker 1: is the History Supreme, with the staggering price tag of
Speaker 1: four point eight billion dollars. This yacht is owned by
Speaker 1: Robert Kuaki, Malaysian businessman known for its extravagant design and materials.
Speaker 1: I'll bet it is, yes, but there's something.
Speaker 3: There's something awful about it being just the license plate because.
Speaker 1: It's more on expensive yachts after this rans and I.
Speaker 3: Think part of it is practically everybody unless you're Saint
Speaker 3: Francis of Assisius, aspires to more wealth and then perhaps
Speaker 3: more stuff. Although I've told my kids a bunch of
Speaker 3: times they get they always ask me, what would you
Speaker 3: do if you won the lottery when it's a billion dollars? Said,
Speaker 3: I don't think I would change really anything, And.
Speaker 1: I got you lack imagination, sah, I get pretty much
Speaker 1: all the stuff I want. I don't know i'd buy
Speaker 1: myself this four point eight billion dollar yacht. It appears
Speaker 1: to be entirely gold plated. I'm not kidding, but so.
Speaker 1: It also features a statue made from Tyrannosaurus rex bones
Speaker 1: and a liquor bottle adorned with eighteen and a half
Speaker 1: carrot diamonds. Oh my, you know what, that's a little
Speaker 1: showy for my tastes. T rex bones? Good lord, just
Speaker 1: you know, whip it out and lay it on the table.
Speaker 3: Well exactly, why not just have a website? Here's you
Speaker 3: can go. Look at my bank account. Now it goes
Speaker 3: up every day at least with the stuff.
Speaker 1: Watch house, boat car.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's one one degree better aspiring to
Speaker 3: own that than just have the higher number lower number
Speaker 3: license plate.
Speaker 1: I mean that is just nothing. Well right, I mean again,
Speaker 1: dollars per I mean, obviously, if I have a solid
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars watch, you're not telling time any better
Speaker 1: with your million dollar watch than me.
Speaker 3: No, but you could, well you can, but you could
Speaker 3: admire the craftsmanship of a million dollar watch, like, yes,
Speaker 3: the intricacy of the parts, that's usually what they are.
Speaker 3: They are incredibly complicated that have to be made by
Speaker 3: by by by.
Speaker 1: Artisans, et cetera, et cetera. The same with aesthetically placing
Speaker 1: in a way that you find delightful. Boyeah, you could
Speaker 1: at least make the case.
Speaker 3: As artistic value to it on some level will be around,
Speaker 3: you know, centuries from now probably and go. You know
Speaker 3: the boat, you know, I don't know the view you
Speaker 3: come right on the water on a boat, you got
Speaker 3: a basketball court. Whatever. The license plate is nothing, it's
Speaker 3: it's entirely I'm better than you.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just nothing else but that. No, it
Speaker 1: has zero function, zero esthetic appeal, zero anything.
Speaker 3: Anyway, That was his point that that's the culture in
Speaker 3: the Middle East that he doesn't feel like exists in
Speaker 3: the United States to a certain extent.
Speaker 1: That's true. I don't know, it's it's an interesting one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't find bezos yacht. I thought I saw his
Speaker 1: picture in Thish. Oh there's you know, it's funny. I'd
Speaker 1: forgotten completely that we were talking about your Pakistani friend.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that is that is an astonishingly disgusting, you know,
Speaker 1: just thing to exist Jeffrey Bezel. I mean it takes
Speaker 1: gratuitous to another level. Yeah. Oh that's a video. That's
Speaker 1: no good. Oh, there we go. How much does Jeffrey
Speaker 1: bezos yacht cost five hundred million dollars to build? That's
Speaker 1: a nice yacht. It's a nice boat though. It's very
Speaker 1: very pleasing lines to it. Too bad he can't get
Speaker 1: a T shirt the right size. I guess they spent
Speaker 1: all his money on his yacht. Maybe he ought to,
Speaker 1: you know, click on Amazon and get an Excel or something.
Speaker 1: You'd think he'd know how anyway.
Speaker 3: Oh and two, Yeah, the the iPhone thing. I mean,
Speaker 3: I assume iPhones are per capital way more expensive. It
Speaker 3: is a more but that's something you gotta have. It
Speaker 3: sticking out of your pocket.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it seems pathetic, but we do. We do
Speaker 1: versions of that, it just just not quite as gratuitous.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, do you have neck pain? I might be
Speaker 1: able to tell you why without a physical exam, although
Speaker 1: if you'd like one, give me a call. I'll swing
Speaker 1: by your place.
Speaker 3: I know a few people who seemed to be the
Speaker 3: source of the pain in my neck, or at least
Speaker 3: I've said that.
Speaker 1: We'll finished strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 6: Katie Vance was one of the last people to see
Speaker 6: Hook France is alive, having a meeting within the day
Speaker 6: before he died.
Speaker 3: This pope had literally touched lepers, He drank sewage water
Speaker 3: in slums and survived.
Speaker 5: All of it.
Speaker 4: Ten minutes, ten minutes talking with JD.
Speaker 3: Vance, and the Pope is like, God, check, please, God, God.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it. I've been celibate eighty
Speaker 1: eight years.
Speaker 2: This is the longest ten minutes of my life.
Speaker 1: An unfair portrayal of the last moments of the Pope
Speaker 1: from the leftist comedian John Stewart, Right, you can get
Speaker 1: to your neck pain or this story. Lawyers for Mike Lindell,
Speaker 1: the my Pillow Guy, slept on one last night, his
Speaker 1: lawyers could face discipline after admitting to filing a court
Speaker 1: document generated by AI that was rife with errors, including
Speaker 1: citing legal cases that do not exist.
Speaker 3: I must say, without having a very strong opinion on
Speaker 3: Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, he did have an
Speaker 3: odd demeanor when I met him at the convention and
Speaker 3: tried to talk to him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a quirky fellow, no doubt, an amazing success story.
Speaker 1: He seemed very distracted as I tried to engage you.
Speaker 1: He's looking for a bigger name, probably, and who can
Speaker 1: blame him? So your neck pain is probably from staring
Speaker 1: at your phone. Six hours of sedentary behavior day linked
Speaker 1: to neck pain, most particularly in partically in particularly small screens,
Speaker 1: because people tend to sit hunched and bend their necks
Speaker 1: and slouch their shoulders when using the device. According to
Speaker 1: a recent study, compared with not engaging in sedentary behavior,
Speaker 1: sitting four hours a day increase the risk of neck
Speaker 1: pain by forty five percent. For periods exceeding six hours
Speaker 1: a day, the risk of neck pain is nearly eighty
Speaker 1: eight percent greater than for non sedentary individuals. I think
Speaker 1: we think of exercise making a sore. Not exercising is
Speaker 1: what really makes us sore. What did we do and
Speaker 1: what that long ago?
Speaker 3: What did we do with those four to six hours
Speaker 3: per day when we before smartphones?
Speaker 1: What were we doing?
Speaker 3: Not like we were building log cabins. It wasn't that
Speaker 3: many years ago.
Speaker 1: I was watching TV, flipping through people mag.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was behind an OX team myself those six
Speaker 3: hours a day.
Speaker 6: Thought, here's your hosts for final thoughts, Joe Kin, let's
Speaker 6: get a.
Speaker 1: Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things
Speaker 1: up for the day. There he is, pressing the buttons.
Speaker 1: Michael Angelow in the control room. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, miche Yeah Michael, Michael, you're not answering that. I
Speaker 1: love it. Very well done, not talking about that. Go ahead, Michael,
Speaker 1: if she'll let you. My final thoughts is I would
Speaker 1: rather have a raft with a hole in it than
Speaker 1: all the problems of a billionaire yacht. There you go,
Speaker 1: There you go. It's something to say, so she could
Speaker 1: interrupt me. It's sweet, beautiful, it came together beautifully. Katie
Speaker 1: Greener esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 3: I'll never forget when my parents were going to get
Speaker 3: their house painted and something on the boat broke, So
Speaker 3: my mom looked at my dad and went, well, I
Speaker 3: guess we're not getting the house.
Speaker 1: Painted now, are we? How much the damn things cost? Wow?
Speaker 1: He knew the deal, Yes, Jackie.
Speaker 3: Final thought for us, Yeah, Tomorrow the GDP numbers come out,
Speaker 3: and it's expected that it will show that we shrunk
Speaker 3: as an economy. And if that's the case, I think
Speaker 3: it's going to be a really really big news story.
Speaker 1: So hopefully it'll turn out to be wrong.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: My final thought is I wish we'd gotten to the
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders prank call case because it was a very
Speaker 1: bad thing to do, and then a very good apology.
Speaker 1: Do I think we could all learn from perhaps tomorrow?
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that? Really interesting? If Armstrong you Getty?
Speaker 3: Wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, so many people to.
Speaker 1: Think, so little time. Go to Armstrong and Getty dot
Speaker 1: com hot links. Pick up some ang swag for your
Speaker 1: favorite a g fen even if it's you hoodie, your
Speaker 1: T shirt hat. We'll see tomorrow. Bless America. I'm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty. That was even dumber and more annoying than usual.
Speaker 4: Are you whatever, mofo.
Speaker 1: One final message I've said at this point twice, at
Speaker 1: this point, at this point even I think you've sufficiently
Speaker 1: covered at what point we're at. Yes, we are at
Speaker 1: no other point than this, clearly so. Concluded by remarks
Speaker 1: thank you all very much, Bye bye are I'm strong
Speaker 1: and Getty
