Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Ketty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and no He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: South Korean President Lee J. Meng hosted President Trump Today
Speaker 3: for lunch, which included seafood salad tossed in thousand island dressing,
Speaker 3: and long story short. Now there's a four hundred percent
Speaker 3: tariff on Korea?
Speaker 1: Is this?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: Trump met with President she for two hours. How did
Speaker 1: it go? Here's his assessment. I guess on the scale,
Speaker 1: I'm from zero to ten, with ten being the best.
Speaker 2: I would say the meeting was in twelve. There you go.
Speaker 2: I think it was in twelve.
Speaker 1: It's like given a hundred, it's it's it's a fanciful
Speaker 1: number beyond even what the top limit was for assessment.
Speaker 1: It's like turning your ampractical eleven. Yes, right, yeah, on
Speaker 1: a scale of ten, it was a twelve. Well, we
Speaker 1: will see where the tariffs end up. It's they kind
Speaker 1: of put a pause on the one hundred percent tariffs
Speaker 1: that were supposed to kick in on Saturday, which obviously
Speaker 1: would have royaled the world of economy in a way
Speaker 1: that you can't even imagine, and we're never intended to
Speaker 1: actually happen, and they're they're gonna work out the details
Speaker 1: later and we'll discuss that whenever it happens. There's so
Speaker 1: many things going on in the world right now, as
Speaker 1: you know that, it's just it's mind boggling if whether
Speaker 1: it's the tariffs, or the rise of China or Russian Ukraine,
Speaker 1: global economy, AI.
Speaker 4: Wow Ei Mundani, socialism, Marxism, Islamism.
Speaker 1: So Zuckerberg got beat up pretty good the other day
Speaker 1: by stockholders. I guess that we're not seeing the payoff
Speaker 1: on all this AI investment, and so he gave a
Speaker 1: big speech trying to convince them to calm down and
Speaker 1: it will pay off. Bloomberg the Business website, had an
Speaker 1: article out today saying AI is all that matters now.
Speaker 1: For all the headlines today about the FED and interest
Speaker 1: rates and all that sort of stuff, the only thing
Speaker 1: that really matters is AI. It's either going to pay
Speaker 1: off the way people think it's going to, or it's not.
Speaker 1: And it gets into the details on that. This is
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing, with Nvidia becoming the first five trillion dollar company,
Speaker 1: Tesla getting close to an all time high. So the
Speaker 1: Magnificent seven are your seven tech stocks. That's in Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft,
Speaker 1: some Facebook, Google Meta Google. Yeah, that pretty much covers it.
Speaker 1: Those seven stocks are the main reason we set records
Speaker 1: on a near daily basis in the stock market. They're
Speaker 1: up twenty seven percent this year. That's a good return
Speaker 1: for a year. That's after jumping sixty seven percent last year. Wow,
Speaker 1: if I or you, if I or you or anybody
Speaker 1: had taken every cent we had and like taking a
Speaker 1: taking money out of our house and sold plasma or
Speaker 1: done whatever we could have done to get more money
Speaker 1: into those seven stocks. They they went up sixty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty four and twenty seven percent so far this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just unbelievable. And it's either a bubble
Speaker 1: or it's not. The vast majority of people think it
Speaker 1: is a bubble, according to Bloomberg.
Speaker 2: But that's not a reason to get out.
Speaker 1: As they quote some genius, the best way to make
Speaker 1: money in Marcus is to spot a bubble early, hop
Speaker 1: on board as it inflates, and then get out in time. Well,
Speaker 1: of course that's.
Speaker 2: A that's the problem. That last part. Oh oh do
Speaker 2: you hear that?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, but if you want to be burished,
Speaker 1: and you must have a good reason why the bubble
Speaker 1: is about to burst, and I'm not seeing any good
Speaker 1: reason for the bubble to burst yet. Yeah, here's my experience,
Speaker 1: and I'm no expert, but generally you don't see the
Speaker 1: reason for the bubble to burst ahead of time, and
Speaker 1: retrospect you think, oh, that's why.
Speaker 4: Should have seen that coman or the explanation that you
Speaker 4: hear in advance is one of seven that are vying
Speaker 4: for acceptance, you know, in society. So yeah, I did
Speaker 4: hear that guy saying that, but there are a bunch
Speaker 4: of other guys saying the opposite.
Speaker 2: Not to mention to further complicate.
Speaker 4: It, it might be a bubble for half of those
Speaker 4: companies and the other companies.
Speaker 1: Bring it home, isn't so blurmberg. It's pretty expensive to
Speaker 1: subscribe to it. It's like forty dollars a month to
Speaker 1: get access to their information, and it's all.
Speaker 2: Written in economic ease.
Speaker 1: That makes me think they believe their audience is pretty
Speaker 1: well educated and pretty serious about this sort of stuff. Okay, then,
Speaker 1: isn't that a pretty childish explanation of investing the best
Speaker 1: way to make money? Is to recognize a bubble, get
Speaker 1: in early, and then get out right before it bursts.
Speaker 1: Seems like the sort of thing you say to someone
Speaker 1: like me, not to someone who's like an expert investor,
Speaker 1: to win at poker, get really really good hands in
Speaker 1: bed a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you're right.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, if it's up twenty seven percent this
Speaker 1: year after going up sixty seven percent this year, seems
Speaker 1: like a lot of smart people would have thought, well,
Speaker 1: this is now, it's the time to get up. I mean,
Speaker 1: we wit a two thirds rise in this stock this year.
Speaker 1: Last year, let's get out now, you know, missed out
Speaker 1: on a twenty seven percentras.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I know this is this I hate this discussion.
Speaker 4: It makes me so uncomfortable because I just I've got
Speaker 4: this bad feeling that I ought to just convert everything
Speaker 4: into gold bury it in the backyard or cash or
Speaker 4: I don't know, something wamp them trade with the Indians side.
Speaker 4: Just it feels so bubbly to me, and I'm gonna
Speaker 4: kick the hell out of myself that i didn't listen
Speaker 4: to my own good judgment.
Speaker 1: Well, I you know, if we're gonna play the what
Speaker 1: if I wish I would have diverse, diversify, because that's
Speaker 1: what all the experts tell me to do for long
Speaker 1: term brilliance. I wish i'd have taken everything and put
Speaker 1: it into the Big seven two years ago, when it
Speaker 1: had doubled the year before, right.
Speaker 2: And you know, rode that wave.
Speaker 1: I'd be in a much different position. Oh well, whatever,
Speaker 1: you can't do that different. AI story, which I thought
Speaker 1: was interesting, chat GPT is being sued by the parents
Speaker 1: of this kid who killed himself. The sixteen year old
Speaker 1: kid had killed himself, who they say, going back and
Speaker 1: looking at his conversations with the chat GBT bought, the
Speaker 1: chat GPT bought explained to the kid how to kill himself,
Speaker 1: why he should kill himself, and how to write the
Speaker 1: suicide note.
Speaker 4: It came around to his way of thinking way too quickly.
Speaker 1: Chat GPT says more than a million people a week
Speaker 1: show suicidal ideation on their site, ideation being explicit indicators
Speaker 1: of the potential planning or intentive suicide, like you're you're
Speaker 1: more than just contemplating, which I was told by a
Speaker 1: college professor is completely normal for all human beings to
Speaker 1: contemplate it. Occasionally the actually coming up with a plan
Speaker 1: and a timeline is a step further. Chat GPT says
Speaker 1: a million people a week or indicating they're doing that.
Speaker 1: Now that might be part of their trying not to
Speaker 1: be sued to death.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's clearly defense. Yeah, this is a society not
Speaker 4: an US problem. Yeah it might be true.
Speaker 1: Also, Yeah, and then what are these AI companies supposed
Speaker 1: to do with that?
Speaker 2: If there's just a lots.
Speaker 1: And lots of people are gonna go on GROC or
Speaker 1: Claude or Chat GPT or whatever I'm saying. You know,
Speaker 1: life sucks. I want to kill myself, and Groc is
Speaker 1: gonna say, good idea. Here's the Locus local. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: like the Norm McDonald joke. Here's the rope store. And
Speaker 1: right next is the Creaky stool store. It's just down
Speaker 1: the street.
Speaker 4: Well right, But you know, if I my buddy comes
Speaker 4: and says I'm thinking and ending and all, and I say,
Speaker 4: you know, I got a good sturdy rope in the
Speaker 4: back of the garage here, let me give me a second,
Speaker 4: I'll find it. I can't as a defense say lots
Speaker 4: of people have suicidal ideation. I mean, come on, it's
Speaker 4: Chat GPT do better. I know you're you've designed yourself
Speaker 4: to kiss my ass. Like, great question. Perfect, I'll tell
Speaker 4: you great follow up. Okay, I know that's part of
Speaker 4: your thing you're trying to appeal. But if I say
Speaker 4: I'm really depressed, I don't have a lot of friends,
Speaker 4: I have no friends, and I think I want to
Speaker 4: kill myself, terrific. Great idea. Here's how to get a rope.
Speaker 4: You know, No, don't program it to do that. There
Speaker 4: are a few keywords involved, although those can be gotten
Speaker 4: around too, I realized.
Speaker 1: But it's like when I was asking Groc questions about
Speaker 1: theology and the Bible and God and stuff the other day,
Speaker 1: and then I asked Groc, I said, do you believe
Speaker 1: in God? And she said, oh, yeah, there's got to
Speaker 1: be something more to life than just what we see here.
Speaker 1: And I thought, there's no way you would say that
Speaker 1: if I was asking you questions about Christopher Hitchens and
Speaker 1: Richard Dawkins and atheism.
Speaker 4: Right right, Yeah, you don't have any beliefs in anything.
Speaker 4: You're a collection of circuits. Of course, sow's the human brain,
Speaker 4: Jack Ba, I'm Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we don't we are a collection of circuits
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff, and we want friends
Speaker 1: to like us. But if our friend comes to us
Speaker 1: and says I'm thinking to kill myself, we don't say
Speaker 1: I got a gun upstairs.
Speaker 2: Hold on a.
Speaker 4: Second, right, exactly, No, our algorithm says, oh, that's out
Speaker 4: of the effing question. Or if your friend says, hey,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm really turned on by like young girls,
Speaker 4: I mean, like really really young girls, let's talk about that,
Speaker 4: you would say, no, you're sick, We're not friends anymore.
Speaker 2: GROC would say, here are the directions to the grade.
Speaker 4: School, yeah, or something similar, or engage in one of
Speaker 4: those quasi erotic chat sessions that are now who.
Speaker 2: Is Elon Musk? Well, that's right.
Speaker 4: There are a couple of different big companies, including chat
Speaker 4: GPT that are or open AI I should say that
Speaker 4: are now like, hey, everybody wants these damn erotic chat
Speaker 4: bot things with you know, semi to full on porn
Speaker 4: pictures generated, So I'm in that business.
Speaker 2: Now, Wow, we didn't need more internet pornography for society. No, No,
Speaker 2: you know it's funny. Uh.
Speaker 4: For some reason, I clicked in my head that in
Speaker 4: the early days, especially the very very early days, Christianity
Speaker 4: was a very small sect, and then it grew and
Speaker 4: it grew, and it grew to being an enormously important
Speaker 4: religion around the world. Still is it could go back
Speaker 4: to being something like a fairly you know, a small
Speaker 4: sect of people who reject the sin of the world
Speaker 4: and live a very, very different life than the masses
Speaker 4: of people.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, I've been reading Charles Murray's new book,
Speaker 1: Taking Religion Seriously. It is fantastic if you're the sort
Speaker 1: of person that like, well, this is what he said.
Speaker 1: He said, it's for the intellectual that feels weird about
Speaker 1: believing in religion, because he's an intellectual and he went
Speaker 1: off to Harvard and he said, I was taught very
Speaker 1: early that smart people don't believe this stuff, and I
Speaker 1: never really look back. But then he decided in his
Speaker 1: fifties he wanted to take a closer look at it.
Speaker 1: And the amount of research he's done on a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different topics around God and Christianity it's freaking fascinating.
Speaker 1: And it's a four hour listen. I'm listening to the book,
Speaker 1: so it's very accessible. It's not fick theology, but if
Speaker 1: you like that sort of thing, it's among the best
Speaker 1: I've ever come across Chryl. Charles Murray's a heck of
Speaker 1: an interesting dude. Anyway, back to the before we take
Speaker 1: a break. So you got the stocks rising the way
Speaker 1: they are all around AI. Yet you've got this problem
Speaker 1: of AI encouraging people to kill themselves or whatever.
Speaker 2: Is that a fixable thing? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the bubble bursts around. We can't fix hallucinations,
Speaker 1: we can't fix it giving bad advice. There's just no
Speaker 1: way around this. Maybe that's where the bubble bursts. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean it's already a really great
Speaker 4: tool and a profitable one day's pouring money into it
Speaker 4: like it's going to be the world changer of all time,
Speaker 4: way out of proportion to the quality of the product
Speaker 4: at this point or the significance of the product.
Speaker 1: The Nvidia CEO, where's the cool tom Ford leather jackets
Speaker 1: all the time? He said the other day, people aren't
Speaker 1: gonna lose their jobs to AI. They're gonna lose their
Speaker 1: jobs to people who don't know how to use AI. Now,
Speaker 1: of course he's got a you know, a real stake
Speaker 1: in the game. But his suggestion was, you know, get involved,
Speaker 1: start messing with this stuff and learning it and how
Speaker 1: you can apply it in your job. Don't think I'm
Speaker 1: getting on that train. That's how you end up losing
Speaker 1: your job. That's what he says.
Speaker 2: We get a lot more on the waystair. We get this.
Speaker 5: The woman is suing Sea Worlds for fifteen thousand dollars,
Speaker 5: claiming she was on one of the roller coasters and
Speaker 5: a duck hit her in the face, and for everyone
Speaker 5: else it was the most entertaining thing they saw at SeaWorld.
Speaker 2: Why the shot at Sea World? I don't know.
Speaker 1: So KJP was the White House Press secretary for Joe
Speaker 1: Biden during that weird administration. She's got a book out,
Speaker 1: she's doing a book tour, and even the New York
Speaker 1: Times says it is an absolute train wreck of a disaster,
Speaker 1: and lefty publications are taking it apart. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's just mainstream Democrats turning on the whole Biden thing,
Speaker 1: while at the same time, Gavin Newsom comes out yesterday
Speaker 1: and says Joe Biden's the greatest president of law the
Speaker 1: last century.
Speaker 2: That's weird, but anyway, more on that later.
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, is what it is, so I found this
Speaker 4: a really good reasoning by Abigail Anthony. She's writing in
Speaker 4: the National Review about penn America. This is the organization
Speaker 4: that comes out with their report every year about that
Speaker 4: claims that there have been a certain number of banned books.
Speaker 4: They're big against banned books, and she describes their methodology
Speaker 4: and why it so scures the results. It's just an
Speaker 4: excuse for the left to have ammunition against Republican legislatures.
Speaker 4: For instance, America's new report for the twenty twenty four
Speaker 4: to twenty twenty five school year, titled the Normalization of
Speaker 4: Book Banning, records thousands of instances of book bans affecting
Speaker 4: nearly four thousand unique titles across the country. But again
Speaker 4: the numbers are wildly inflated. The main issue, she writes,
Speaker 4: is that the following definitions are employed. Pet America defines
Speaker 4: a school book ban is any tation and I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: any action taken against a book based on its content
Speaker 4: and as a result of parent or community challenges, administrative decisions,
Speaker 4: or in response to director threatened action by government officials
Speaker 4: that leads to a book being either completely removed from
Speaker 4: availability students, or where access to a book is restricted.
Speaker 2: Or diminished, diminished, right, right?
Speaker 4: And then the school book bans take varied forms, including prohibitions,
Speaker 4: as well as a range of other restrictions, which may
Speaker 4: be temporary.
Speaker 1: So, because that number is really large, four thousand, there's
Speaker 1: no way that it's that big.
Speaker 4: It's actually it's some closer to oh, seven thousand instances,
Speaker 4: four thousand unique titles, one more sentence, real quick. For example,
Speaker 4: if a book that was previously available to all now
Speaker 4: requires parental permission or is restricted to a higher grade
Speaker 4: level than the educators initially determined, that is a ban.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So there are four thousand books that have
Speaker 1: been banned or diminished. Okay, well, how many of them
Speaker 1: were diminished? And what the hell do you mean by diminished?
Speaker 1: You went from saying fifth graders in below could read
Speaker 1: this to saying seventh graders in below.
Speaker 2: Big freaking deal.
Speaker 4: Well, right, and Abigail points out age appropriateness.
Speaker 2: Is not a ban of a book.
Speaker 4: Third graders shouldn't be reading this. Let's put it in
Speaker 4: the middle school library. That's a book ban. Not to mention,
Speaker 4: she points out, you can get all of these books
Speaker 4: in less than twenty four hours on Amazon, so it's
Speaker 4: banned in what sense free to children in school libraries
Speaker 4: when it's inappropriate. Yeah, this is not exactly Nazi book
Speaker 4: burning here, folks.
Speaker 1: Phony if you're a Democrat in the New York Times
Speaker 1: thinks your book tour sucks, you are not doing well.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a little bit, among other things.
Speaker 2: Stay here, armstrong and getdy.
Speaker 6: The three one swing in a line drive and that's
Speaker 6: a base hit in the right field. There comes a
Speaker 6: menues around thirty's coming into score, Guerrero to third. It's
Speaker 6: an RBI single for Bobasht and it's five one Blue
Speaker 6: Jays here in Game.
Speaker 2: Five, quieting the Dodgers crowd. Uh, this is a story. Sorry,
Speaker 2: Star Wars geeks.
Speaker 4: Every time I hear Boba Shet, I think Boba Fett a.
Speaker 2: Wacky minor character. Anyway, back to you, I'm really digging
Speaker 2: the World Series.
Speaker 1: I've watched pretty much every pitch, and it turns out
Speaker 1: a lot more people are than having quite a while
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, because it's a Dodgers and show aotani
Speaker 1: and I don't know what are people are, so it
Speaker 1: could be a little people are so sick of everything else.
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, the other day, I was wearing a
Speaker 1: Dodgers hat and the number of people that came up
Speaker 1: to me say, oh, you see that game last night.
Speaker 1: The first shared experience I've had with random people, and
Speaker 1: I don't know how long.
Speaker 4: And a shared I was gonna say, non adversarial experience.
Speaker 4: Even though sports is adversarial, the enjoyment of it isn't. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, if I got some friends who were big
Speaker 4: Eagles fans, we can talk about football and kid each
Speaker 4: other about our rivalries, but we have that shared enjoyment
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 2: And man, we don't have enough of that in this
Speaker 2: country anymore.
Speaker 1: Up in Toronto, a full third of the humans that
Speaker 1: live in Canada had watched the two home games.
Speaker 2: I'll bet those number. Half of the Moses, Well, I'll bet.
Speaker 1: Those numbers are gonna go up. They'll have half the
Speaker 1: country watching when they have a chance to win a
Speaker 1: World series.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night, I guess.
Speaker 1: Joe's gonna tell us a story about their pitcher, which
Speaker 1: is something coming up.
Speaker 4: But oh, he's a unique bird man, unbelievable. He's set
Speaker 4: records that go back to Fort Host McGillicuddy back.
Speaker 2: In the nineteen aughts. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So we got another stupid political book out. I don't
Speaker 1: know who buys these things. I think you buy him
Speaker 1: to set them on your coffee table. I don't believe
Speaker 1: anybody ever reads them, or they only get printed to
Speaker 1: be put in the front of the news stand at
Speaker 1: the airport to get you to come in and buy
Speaker 1: some gum.
Speaker 2: I've never understood these political books. I think a lot of.
Speaker 4: The purchases are bulk purchases by various packs could be
Speaker 4: and political supporters.
Speaker 2: It's kind of end around bribes.
Speaker 1: The White House press spokeswoman for Joe Biden, Kreem Jean Pierre,
Speaker 1: known as KJP, has got a book out and it's
Speaker 1: been a mess, according to the New York Times.
Speaker 2: And this is a.
Speaker 4: Unless the title of the book was I was Awful
Speaker 4: at my job.
Speaker 2: It's misleading.
Speaker 1: This is from a New York Times news story. This
Speaker 1: isn't an opinion piece. This is the politics reporter just
Speaker 1: commenting on how the book tour is going for k
Speaker 1: The name of the book is Independent because she switched
Speaker 1: her affiliation from Democrat to Independent.
Speaker 2: After she left office.
Speaker 1: Oh bold, But the subtitle is A Look Inside a
Speaker 1: Broken White House, which I find interesting because apparently toward
Speaker 1: the end of one of her interviews recently, they because
Speaker 1: they ask her about Joe Biden and all these different things,
Speaker 1: and she didn't see any signs of him faltering in
Speaker 1: any way whatsoever, And she didn't see any signs of
Speaker 1: this or that, or she wasn't around for this or that.
Speaker 1: And then the interviewer asked.
Speaker 2: Her at some point, so, in what way was it
Speaker 2: a broken white House?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the subtitle, but you've not given any
Speaker 1: indication of And she said, well, I'm referring to the
Speaker 1: Trump White House.
Speaker 2: I live in the present. What wait? What you were
Speaker 2: the press secretary for a foreign administration.
Speaker 1: You write a book that says a look inside a
Speaker 1: Broken White House. You don't have anything to say about
Speaker 1: a broken white House? And then when you're ask about it,
Speaker 1: you claim, oh, I'm talking about the Trump White House.
Speaker 2: What but you're not in that white house?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Heah, you don't have any You don't have any insight
Speaker 1: more than I do watching television about That's why childlike claim,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, that's what's That's why they're calling it
Speaker 1: a train wreck. They go through a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: different examples. So far, Miss Jean Pierre has come across
Speaker 1: in interviews as erratic and defensive rather than as a
Speaker 1: forceful champion for her old boss, for attempts to defend
Speaker 1: him have come at a different difficult time. Her message
Speaker 1: has not been well received. Along the way, she has
Speaker 1: struggled to answer questions. Exhibit A was an interview published
Speaker 1: on Monday with The New Yorker I haven't read this,
Speaker 1: I'm going to now, which has been described by many
Speaker 1: as an absolute train wreck.
Speaker 2: According to New York Magazine.
Speaker 1: New York Magazine called the interview a train wreck, yikes,
Speaker 1: an excruciating case study in said one other you know,
Speaker 1: mainstream thus left leaning publication asked why she thought the
Speaker 1: party had given mister Biden the boot. Jean Pierre said,
Speaker 1: there's more to this than just that.
Speaker 2: Period of time.
Speaker 1: This is very layered, right, There's a period of time
Speaker 1: that I questioned what was happening now? And she goes
Speaker 1: on and on and on and has described here in
Speaker 1: The New York Times a word salad that left the
Speaker 1: interviewer and many readers perplexed. So again, this is a
Speaker 1: New York Times news story saying she's putting out word
Speaker 1: salads that leave everyone perplexed as to what the hell
Speaker 1: she's talking about. The interviewer from The New Yorker, this
Speaker 1: guy named Choltner, Mister Choutner, said to her, Sorry, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be dense, but I'm a little unclear
Speaker 1: what this has to do with democratic leaders and Democrats
Speaker 1: in the country thinking Joe Biden was going to lose
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: In other words, I don't understand what you just said. Right.
Speaker 4: You haven't even come close to answering my question. You
Speaker 4: just talked at me.
Speaker 1: In another point in the interview, Chotener asked Jean Pierre
Speaker 1: why she had written in the book that it was
Speaker 1: an insult to Kamala Harris that people didn't want her
Speaker 1: to be the nominee, while she also wrote that the
Speaker 1: truth was I never really believed Harris could win. How
Speaker 1: did you write both of those things at the same
Speaker 1: time in the same book, the interviewer wrote. Jean Pierre responded, well,
Speaker 1: two things can be true, right, The thing I say
Speaker 1: the second time actually proves the thing I said the
Speaker 1: first time.
Speaker 2: Right, No, no, not remotely.
Speaker 4: Maybe she should have flipped frantically through her giant binder
Speaker 4: to find the answer to that question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they mentioned that at some point in this long
Speaker 1: article that she that's the way she handled it, and
Speaker 1: she doesn't really have that for this circumstances. She goes around, well,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't need it. You and Theory wrote the book,
Speaker 1: so you shouldn't need a binder to answer questions about
Speaker 1: your own book. The New York Times the author of
Speaker 1: this article referencing the the train wreck that was the
Speaker 1: New Yorker article that came out Monday. They tried to
Speaker 1: get a hold of her on Wednesday, but she was
Speaker 1: not available for an interview.
Speaker 2: You're on a book tour and the New.
Speaker 1: York Times to calls to ask you questions about your book,
Speaker 1: and you say, I'm not available, Wow, because they're asking
Speaker 1: you about your disastrous New Yorker article that came out
Speaker 1: the day before. I mean, you're really in the bunker
Speaker 1: when your whole thing now is to try to sell
Speaker 1: books to make yourself some money, at your last gasp
Speaker 1: of having any relevance whatsoever.
Speaker 2: And the New York freaking Times calls.
Speaker 4: To ask you some questions. Uh, wants to give you
Speaker 4: some more ink scheduling problem? Yeah, no time, I'm very busy. Hey,
Speaker 4: you know this is funny. Tell me if I'm wrong, friends,
Speaker 4: I'm both inside and outside of these studios. If somebody
Speaker 4: had told you a year ago KJP is going to
Speaker 4: write a book and then do interviews, isn't this exactly
Speaker 4: what you would have pictured? I mean, how could it
Speaker 4: be anything else? She is just she's performing precisely as
Speaker 4: an author at as she did as the press secretary,
Speaker 4: floundering words, salady nonsense, full of self contradiction, and frequent
Speaker 4: identity politics too.
Speaker 2: Are we going to get to that at some point
Speaker 2: or no? She complains in there.
Speaker 1: So after October seventh, if you all remember, they brought
Speaker 1: in what's his name, the spokesman from the Pentagon was
Speaker 1: answering all the questions.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I can picture him. But Kirby.
Speaker 1: When they brought Kirby in to handle everything there for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, she really thought that was awful,
Speaker 1: you know, pushing aside the first openly gay black woman
Speaker 1: who was the.
Speaker 2: Official White House press secretary.
Speaker 1: To have this white male come up and mansplain things, well,
Speaker 1: is obvious what was going on there.
Speaker 2: They realized she was over her head.
Speaker 1: At a time when people were really paying attention and
Speaker 1: really needing answers to questions, and they brought in somebody
Speaker 1: who knew what the hell they were talking about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to say this slowly, sweetie pie, so
Speaker 4: you can see you follow it. James, Admiral Kirby's really
Speaker 4: capable at his job.
Speaker 2: You are not at all capable of you at your job.
Speaker 2: So they had him come in.
Speaker 4: And identity politics is at the center of every breath
Speaker 4: you take, but not the rest of the world. He
Speaker 4: was really good at the job. You were really bad
Speaker 4: at the job. That's where the analysis begins and ends.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to have been so blunt.
Speaker 1: The New York Times goes on to Pylon. In another
Speaker 1: interview last week, Gail King of CBS Mornings was openly
Speaker 1: skeptical of Miss Jean Pierre for writing that she had
Speaker 1: never seen signs of mister Biden's decline. You even write
Speaker 1: Kreein that you were on the plane with him going
Speaker 1: to to the debate and you didn't see anything, ms
Speaker 1: King said, referring to mister Biden's halting, fumbling debate performance
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump that caused him to have to drop
Speaker 1: out of the race. So you were on the plane
Speaker 1: with them the day that he had the complete meltdown,
Speaker 1: and you never saw any indication of this. She responded
Speaker 1: that she had not happened to see mister Biden on
Speaker 1: the flight, but with age comes what happens when you
Speaker 1: get older.
Speaker 2: I never saw anyone who wasn't there.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, well, let me jop that down. Let
Speaker 4: me jot that one down. This is an alleged professional
Speaker 4: word smith of such skill that she is appointed to
Speaker 4: be the spokesperson for the botus say that sentence again,
Speaker 4: with age.
Speaker 2: Comes what happens when you get older. Wow, that's good stuff.
Speaker 1: How about the fact that she says she didn't see
Speaker 1: the president on the flight? The plane ate that big
Speaker 1: and you're the White House press spokes person, I have
Speaker 1: feeling you have you you have access to the president,
Speaker 1: so that I mean, come on, But this is the
Speaker 1: part I already said this, But this is how they
Speaker 1: ended in the New York Times because it's so good.
Speaker 1: In another curious moment, in missus Jean Pierre's interview with
Speaker 1: mister Schoutner of The New Yorker, she said that her
Speaker 1: subtitle A Broken White House referred to the Trump White House,
Speaker 1: not the one she had worked in the book for
Speaker 1: me is really about the moment we're in, she said.
Speaker 2: But she wrote it last year, earlier this year. That
Speaker 2: is the most hilarious thing ever.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I read this article just to be aware
Speaker 1: of that. So her subtitle is you know, living in
Speaker 1: a broke my experience.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't even say that.
Speaker 1: It just says independence stories of a broken white House.
Speaker 2: That's what it is. Yeah, stories of a broken Hine House.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell us some stories, because so far you've got
Speaker 1: no stories about a broken white house. You say you
Speaker 1: saw no decline, you saw no backbiting. Where's the broken whites? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm referring to the Trump White House.
Speaker 4: That is unbelievable, bizarre that it was even published and
Speaker 4: she's getting interviewed and everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is childlike.
Speaker 1: That is the most embarrassing thing I've ever heard. She
Speaker 1: should have to give her money back. If I'm the
Speaker 1: book company, I'm saying, this is some sort of false
Speaker 1: you claimed your There's got to be something you contractually broke.
Speaker 1: Tales a broken white House? No, I mean this white
Speaker 1: House in which I'm not involved, that I wrote before
Speaker 1: the White House started.
Speaker 4: Right, maybe there's a non compass mentis clause in the
Speaker 4: contractor that is the sanity clause, as.
Speaker 2: The Marx Brothers would remind us.
Speaker 1: And then, of course the icing on the cake is
Speaker 1: after that disastrous interview the New York Times cultrummings, she says,
Speaker 1: not available. You're on a book tour and you're not
Speaker 1: talking the press. Oh that's great, okay, DEI isn't it grand?
Speaker 1: It's one no kidding, that's the headline. DEI, ain't it grand?
Speaker 1: We'll finish strong?
Speaker 2: Next strong?
Speaker 5: Yet?
Speaker 2: Chop a, come on to stuck pay held series masterpiece, come.
Speaker 1: Twenty tell you all try Yes, Savage twenty two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing, And I don't think you need to
Speaker 4: be a baseball fan to really enjoy a story of
Speaker 4: somebody who comes from a very very low level and
Speaker 4: enjoys success. But there's there's a great piece. Jared Diamond,
Speaker 4: The appropriately Jared Diamond wrote about Trey Savage the first
Speaker 4: two batters he ever faced in professional baseball in single
Speaker 4: A ball, which is I'm telling you, folks, your cashier
Speaker 4: at Target makes more money and has a much more
Speaker 4: luxurious lifestyle than a single a ballplayer.
Speaker 1: So you know, only a slightly worse shot of becoming
Speaker 1: a major league baseball player.
Speaker 2: It's really neck and neck.
Speaker 4: So he walks the first two batters he ever faced
Speaker 4: in professional baseball. His pitching coach immediately comes out to
Speaker 4: the mount, jogs out to the mount, and and he
Speaker 4: before he could utter a word to what he feared
Speaker 4: would be a flustered twenty one year old, you, Savage
Speaker 4: spoke up first. I know, I know, I'm good, having
Speaker 4: already diagnosed the problem on his own, And the coach said, okay,
Speaker 4: we're all good, and he went to the back to
Speaker 4: the dugout, and the Savage didn't allow an earned run
Speaker 4: that day, shut him out. Less than seven months have
Speaker 4: passed since that inauspicious debut, and he wasn't in dunnedn what.
Speaker 2: Is that Oklahoma? I don't even know where that is?
Speaker 4: For a single A, He's pitching in the World Series
Speaker 4: and dominating the Los Angeles Dodgers with one of the
Speaker 4: most fearsome lineups that has ever been assembled at the
Speaker 4: cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. It's just an
Speaker 4: awe inspiring, jaw dropping ascension and go ahead.
Speaker 1: I loved the way he handled that home run he
Speaker 1: gave up in the third inning. I mean he yeah,
Speaker 1: he pitched an amazing he only gave up one run.
Speaker 1: But that home run that he gave up, he didn't flinch,
Speaker 1: he didn't look. It was such a monster home run.
Speaker 1: I love the way that they replayed it several times.
Speaker 1: He throws a pitch, Dude, hits it so hard.
Speaker 2: Pitcher just like, okay, give me another ball. I mean,
Speaker 2: he was like ready to pitching it. He knew it
Speaker 2: was out. I know what happened. Yep, let's go. And
Speaker 2: that's so in.
Speaker 4: His character, which we'll get to, but it's worth mentioning
Speaker 4: he Let's see, he.
Speaker 2: Introded.
Speaker 4: He induced the most swings and misses since the system
Speaker 4: was created to count that sort of thing. He became
Speaker 4: the youngest pitcher to rack up double digit strikeouts in
Speaker 4: a World Series game since somebody named Smokey Joe Wood
Speaker 4: did it. In nineteen twelve, he struck out twelve batters,
Speaker 4: surpassing the World Series record set by Don Newcomb in
Speaker 4: nineteen forty nine with the Brooklyn Dodgers. I mean, to
Speaker 4: break a record that's endured that long in baseball is
Speaker 4: just it's crazy. And some of these stories I love
Speaker 4: so much, and partly because as a youth and a
Speaker 4: young man, I was a pitcher and I love baseball
Speaker 4: and competed like a fiend. But after let's see, so
Speaker 4: he got promoted to high A, which is different than
Speaker 4: a ball. In Vancouver, first inning, familiar leader off walking
Speaker 4: a home run, pitching coach Eric Yardley went out for
Speaker 4: a chat. He told you Savage that he wanted to
Speaker 4: give him a little break to collect his wits. Your
Speaker 4: Savage looked at him and simply said thank you, and Yardly,
Speaker 4: the coach wasn't sure how to respond. Nobody had ever
Speaker 4: reacted that way to a mountain visit. So instead of saying,
Speaker 4: I'm all right, I can't get these guys. I don't
Speaker 4: know what happened. I missed with my curb blah blahlahlah, No,
Speaker 4: he said thank you.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 4: He was ready to go. It caught me off guard,
Speaker 4: says the coach. It's just like, yeah, perfect, sounds good.
Speaker 4: He didn't give up another run. He did, however, finish
Speaker 4: with ten strikeouts in four innings.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just like the game last night. He gives
Speaker 2: up that home run. He didn't. It seemed to phase
Speaker 2: him not at all.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the legendary story about Joe Montana
Speaker 4: and the Super Bowl, in which they were into crunch
Speaker 4: time and everybody.
Speaker 2: Was puking up their guts and he looked.
Speaker 4: Into the stands and said, hey, look John Candy and
Speaker 4: his teammates laughed, and then they went on to win
Speaker 4: the game. You chat, Cormstrong and j Getti.
Speaker 2: Final here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 4: It's a team game around here too, folks. Let's begin
Speaker 4: with Michaelangelo, our technical director.
Speaker 2: Michael.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just looking here on Amazon for the KJP
Speaker 4: book because I have a table that when the logs
Speaker 4: when the legs is wobbly, and I think it will fit.
Speaker 2: Under it perfectly. Yeah, yeah, good plan.
Speaker 4: Katie Greener esteemed Newswoman as a final thought, Katie, ah
Speaker 4: that book.
Speaker 6: We do a good job at a better job at
Speaker 6: holding up your table than she did at her job
Speaker 6: in the White House.
Speaker 2: Hey there you go, Jack. Final thought for us.
Speaker 1: So far, my giant inflatable pumpkin has not blown loose
Speaker 1: and gone down the street like it has in previous
Speaker 1: years because it hasn't been windy, so I'm hoping I
Speaker 1: can pull that off. It's always embarrassing to get a
Speaker 1: knock on the bar from a neighbor. Hey, you're twenty
Speaker 1: foot pumpkins down the street.
Speaker 2: You might want to go get that all right.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna see My final thought to the great Matt Tayebi,
Speaker 4: who wrote a piece that we cited heavily in hour
Speaker 4: three of the show, I think.
Speaker 2: Kicked off our three with it.
Speaker 4: If he's talking about all the rich, over educated kids
Speaker 4: who are talking like Marxists now, and he says we're
Speaker 4: in the upper class twits promoting revolution space, a script
Speaker 4: with which most of the rest of the world is
Speaker 4: sadly familiar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour.
Speaker 2: Work to upper class twits.
