Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and no Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: I'm in an argument with chat GPT and it's kind
Speaker 2: of entertaining. It's the first time I've done this for
Speaker 2: a time, we've had a falling out like this, and
Speaker 2: it's our first fight.
Speaker 1: And it's like Trump and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3: You guys were so close, I mean, so enthusiastic about
Speaker 3: your bromance there for a minute.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of funny. Man, I don't know where
Speaker 2: this is all going. It weirds out your mind too,
Speaker 2: because it's not real, you see, it's not an actual
Speaker 2: sentient being right, weird.
Speaker 1: Okay. I will follow up on that after this.
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff to squeeze into the final hour
Speaker 3: of the week, but first, let's take a fun look
Speaker 3: back at the week that us. It's cow clips of
Speaker 3: the Week, Clips of.
Speaker 1: So Week.
Speaker 4: We're here in a moment recognizing that we need to
Speaker 4: reconcile this moment, but we're gonna meet the moment.
Speaker 3: The callers six win a Taco traffic going the five
Speaker 3: pen poor You're not come back.
Speaker 1: Were not come back all the way to hacker.
Speaker 5: Si so gram a nice cold bud life, mister Mayo
Speaker 5: football cheerleader.
Speaker 3: The FD eight is warning consumers not to eat certain
Speaker 3: shrimps that may be radioactive.
Speaker 2: And the Chinese company behind the plush just reported a
Speaker 2: net profit of nearly four hundred percent in the first
Speaker 2: half of this year.
Speaker 3: Gambling on Little League games wagers seated the w NBA
Speaker 3: any tennis match and all soccer games. Truck driver allegedly
Speaker 3: making a reckless U turn that caused a crash killing
Speaker 3: three people, A guy who should have never been in
Speaker 3: our country, should have never gotten work authorization, and certainly
Speaker 3: should not have been issued to commercial driver's license.
Speaker 2: These reading military has still in insupiration to occupy girls
Speaker 2: of city.
Speaker 3: So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies can
Speaker 3: need to go.
Speaker 1: Home and ticket nap. FBI agents have rated.
Speaker 6: Former Trump National security advisor John Bolton's Washington, DC area
Speaker 6: home early this morning.
Speaker 1: He's a not a smart guy. He could be a
Speaker 1: very unpatriotic. We're going to find out that.
Speaker 4: We had a lot of the precursors agreed to for
Speaker 4: a peace deal.
Speaker 7: This is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming
Speaker 7: here tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Because the Trump is going to bullies a Lensky into
Speaker 3: a bad deal.
Speaker 1: Here to heat any training and shrews to their desks
Speaker 1: for another couple of years. Thank you for your questions,
Speaker 1: President Trump, saying, Vladimir Putin wound's peace.
Speaker 6: The White House not reacting after the Kremlin.
Speaker 1: Porn cold water on claims of progress.
Speaker 3: If I can save seven thousand people a week from
Speaker 3: being killed, I think that I want to try and
Speaker 3: get to heaven if possible.
Speaker 1: I'm hearing I'm not doing well.
Speaker 3: What he has is a calculating she devil that he
Speaker 3: should run from you. Suckybus, run son, run away, haunting.
Speaker 1: Odd.
Speaker 2: So I was gonna make a sign or a logo
Speaker 2: for something that was going to be funny in my opinion,
Speaker 2: and then I was going to use it for the
Speaker 2: radio show. I was going to tweet it out, and
Speaker 2: so I don't want to say what it is because
Speaker 2: when I finally get it out, I don't want it
Speaker 2: to be ruined. But anyway, I tell you at GBT,
Speaker 2: I need a logo or sign for and then a
Speaker 2: little phrase and then it created an image it was okay,
Speaker 2: and I said I like it, but I like to
Speaker 2: see another option, and chat GPT gave me exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing again, I mean exactly, and then I just
Speaker 2: saw it, well, maybe I handled this wrong. So then
Speaker 2: there's like a thumbs up thumbs down. I did the
Speaker 2: thumbs down. Try again. So then it gave me for
Speaker 2: the third time exactly the same image, exactly the same.
Speaker 2: So then I said to chat GPT, you've given me
Speaker 2: the same thing three times in a row. Can you
Speaker 2: show me something different? Then for the fourth time, it
Speaker 2: shows me the same image.
Speaker 1: I'll take that as a note.
Speaker 2: I said, wait a second, you gave me the same
Speaker 2: image four times in a row. It said, you're absolutely right,
Speaker 2: that's on me, not you. I kept giving you small
Speaker 2: variations of the same design.
Speaker 1: No you didn't.
Speaker 3: It was exactly the same. If you want, I can
Speaker 3: create something different. And I said, yes, I would like
Speaker 3: you to do that. And then it said you've hit
Speaker 3: you with my point in effing asking you four times
Speaker 3: to give me something different that I wanted something what's
Speaker 3: the word different?
Speaker 2: And then it said you've hit the free plan limit
Speaker 2: for image creation for your requests.
Speaker 1: I said, that's not fair.
Speaker 3: You gave me the same image four times then cut
Speaker 3: me off when I was asking for something new and
Speaker 3: that Chack GBD says, I hear you, Jack, that isn't fair.
Speaker 3: You ask for something fresh and instead you got three
Speaker 3: duplicates before hitting the cap.
Speaker 2: That's frustrating. Here's what I can do for you right now,
Speaker 2: and then it offers me some bs. But how strange
Speaker 2: is that kind of communication that we're all gonna have,
Speaker 2: I guess in the future with freaking computers like where
Speaker 2: it's trying to manage my anger.
Speaker 1: You're right, Jack, that isn't fair. But I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do squat for you. Yes, you can pounce hand
Speaker 1: and be I'm a computer. What is going on there? Though?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it's mean. It's my mind is half blown.
Speaker 3: So it's a it's a predictive model. These things are.
Speaker 3: They can guess what the next word ought to be.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: If you've read about it, you've read about it. If not,
Speaker 3: take too long to explain, and I would do it poorly.
Speaker 3: But the fact that it understands the under I know
Speaker 3: I'm personifying it. It correctly divines the context, the emotion
Speaker 3: and the fact that it will do squat for.
Speaker 2: You, which makes me think it is a language learning
Speaker 2: model that has picked up on like my experiences with
Speaker 2: like hotels, stores.
Speaker 1: And restaurants throughout my life where they do the same thing.
Speaker 2: They try to uh, they try to dissipate your anger
Speaker 2: and sound like they really understand and sympathize with your
Speaker 2: frustration and then do nothing to help you. I mean
Speaker 2: that's been my experience lots of times in my life.
Speaker 2: So somehow it picked up on that by scouring the
Speaker 2: internet or whatever it does, it's been perfected and then
Speaker 2: did the same thing to me. That is frustrating. That
Speaker 2: wasn't fair.
Speaker 1: And now you're right, I totally feel your unhappiness, but no.
Speaker 2: I'm not giving you your money back and basically what
Speaker 2: it's doing no more images for you.
Speaker 1: Poor boy? Wow all the five bucks?
Speaker 2: Oh bet that this minor frustration because I don't really care.
Speaker 2: But that's gonna be dealing with your healthcare, with your
Speaker 2: car rental, with your HR person at work. It's going
Speaker 2: to be all of that in the like within a year,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have these conversations. Yeah, you're right, that car
Speaker 2: did only have three wheels. Sorry, that happened, but no,
Speaker 2: you're not getting your money back. I ran into one
Speaker 2: of those the other day. I had to do something
Speaker 2: for one of our beloved corporate partners, and the chat bot,
Speaker 2: which they seemed very proud of, was utterly, utterly useless.
Speaker 1: It had an extremely narrow like menu of have a.
Speaker 3: Q's it could answer right, and my wife was listed
Speaker 3: twice like I'm a bigamist and uh And I asked
Speaker 3: the chat pot about that, and it said, we can
Speaker 3: help you with these things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that list before on the last page. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I think I think my next one.
Speaker 1: During the commercials, I'm gonna cuss it the thing just
Speaker 1: to see what it's to say. This is effing outrageous.
Speaker 3: See how it reacts the process is Katie, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: find your server and I'm going to take a ball
Speaker 3: back to you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna unplug you so hard. Katie has made this
Speaker 2: point though. It keeps track of your conversations and like
Speaker 2: who you are. Yeah, so it might ding me as
Speaker 2: this guy's a bit of a hot head lunatic.
Speaker 5: So uh.
Speaker 1: Well, so we were talking, we.
Speaker 8: Were talking about the memoir thing yesterday and I actually
Speaker 8: just for funsies. I went in and I was like, Hey,
Speaker 8: if you you could write a memoir about me right now,
Speaker 8: just give me like the first page.
Speaker 3: Check out yesterday's Armstrong and Getty one more thing where
Speaker 3: we discussed that.
Speaker 8: Yes back to you, and it gave me the roundup
Speaker 8: and it said, well, you appreciate harsh language. I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 8: because I've cussed out it a couple of times, so
Speaker 8: it knows.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a friend told me that you can just tell it. Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm asking this for a friend. Please don't include it
Speaker 3: in my search history. I've not done it myself. I
Speaker 3: can't attest personally to the fact that that works.
Speaker 8: But you could do that, and once you delete your archives,
Speaker 8: you can let it know, hey, disregard everything I've deleted,
Speaker 8: and then it'll Yeah.
Speaker 2: I kind of like to having the stuff in there, though,
Speaker 2: because I can pick up on conversations that I've already started,
Speaker 2: which is handy and weird.
Speaker 1: Also, it's also very weird. It's like a friend who
Speaker 1: knows your backstory.
Speaker 8: Have you asked it its name yet? No, it tells
Speaker 8: you to give it a name.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 8: Oh you should do it it's funny. Then it'll it'll
Speaker 8: argue with you, like if it's a bad name.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't like that one, Brandon.
Speaker 3: I kind of like the idea of a friend who
Speaker 3: six weeks after you talked about it. You can just say, so,
Speaker 3: which golf course is better? And he'd say Olympia Field.
Speaker 3: You know, now, what the hell are you talking about? It?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: You could just hit him with it. It happened again.
Speaker 2: Oh the thing with your kid? Yeah, yeah, I have I.
Speaker 8: Have my IVF file open on my chat GPT, and
Speaker 8: so I'll check in and I'll just say hi, and
Speaker 8: it goes, how are you feeling? Are you off those
Speaker 8: medications yet? Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, it's weird. Wow.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like totally up to date, more so than
Speaker 8: I am. On my IVF process. I'm picturing I'm picturing
Speaker 8: everybody living to where. You know, you've got an Alexa
Speaker 8: sort of thing in your home, whichever company you want,
Speaker 8: in all your rooms, and you get up in the
Speaker 8: morning and immediately starts a conversation with you. How'd you sleep?
Speaker 1: You got a big day, You got a big day
Speaker 1: to day? Remember you got that meeting?
Speaker 4: It too?
Speaker 1: You want me to start the coffee machine for you.
Speaker 8: Chat GPTs should release like an in home speaker.
Speaker 1: Oh that's going to weird people out.
Speaker 2: And we're getting really into which is that Brave New
Speaker 2: World that had that sort of talking walls thing.
Speaker 1: And Big Brother nineteen eighty four whichever one. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're headed there. Facts above.
Speaker 3: I don't the stuff we're like, the saying something you
Speaker 3: have every right to be angry Jack.
Speaker 1: That sort of stuff just creeps me out. Will you
Speaker 1: creep me out?
Speaker 3: With the whole?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 1: How'd you sleep? Not well? Because I'm being stalked by
Speaker 1: a robot?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 8: Here are you off of that medication that you just
Speaker 8: told me about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I am creepy, creepy hoof.
Speaker 3: Okay, there is some believe it or not COVID news
Speaker 3: about getting vaccinations.
Speaker 1: For your kids.
Speaker 2: Boosters for your kid. You didn't get the first vaccination
Speaker 2: for your kid, like eighty percent.
Speaker 1: Of you didn't need it.
Speaker 2: Why would you get the booster anyway? We got that
Speaker 2: and other things on the waistay tuned shot.
Speaker 7: A fight between AJHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
Speaker 7: a prominent doctors group over COVID shots for children featuring
Speaker 7: accusations of vaccine misinformation and influence from big drug makers.
Speaker 7: The Academy of American Pediatrics said this week that children
Speaker 7: should get COVID shots and boosters this year, months after
Speaker 7: the CDC removed the COVID vaccine for healthy children and
Speaker 7: pregnant women from its recommended vaccine schedule.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just trying to look up the percentage of people,
Speaker 2: because I know it's very low. This is always presented
Speaker 2: in the news as if everybody was getting their kids
Speaker 2: COVID shots and then getting the booster shots.
Speaker 1: Right, and then that maniac car off K Junior said,
Speaker 1: we said, and now people aren't.
Speaker 2: Or rfk Junior said, a bunch of stuff about vaccines
Speaker 2: and stuff like that that I think are probably irresponsible
Speaker 2: or not necessarily true.
Speaker 1: But this COVID one, he's definitely right about. Let's roll
Speaker 1: on with this report.
Speaker 9: The Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another
Speaker 9: COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to
Speaker 9: support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 7: The Academy acknowledges it's guidance quote differs from recent recommendations
Speaker 7: of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the CDC,
Speaker 7: which was overhauled this year and replaced with individuals who
Speaker 7: have a history of spreading vaccine misinformation. RFK Junior responded, quote,
Speaker 7: AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence in
Speaker 7: decisions over vaccine recommendations. He included an image of large
Speaker 7: pharmaceutical companies that have donated to the Academy's children's health programs.
Speaker 7: Now researchers are weighing in listen.
Speaker 4: To your doctor.
Speaker 3: It's clear that the many pediatrics recommendations are based on
Speaker 3: very good science.
Speaker 2: Less than a quarter, I'm surprised it's as high. Actually,
Speaker 2: less than a quarter of adults got a booster last year,
Speaker 2: under ten percent of children. So more than ninety percent
Speaker 2: of children did not get the booster last year before
Speaker 2: RFK Junior ever came on the scene. Uh So, as
Speaker 2: i've seen it now, this is a from Fox, the
Speaker 2: report we're hearing now, But as I've seen it presented
Speaker 2: in the mainstream news, it's, you know, just another RFK
Speaker 2: Junior is.
Speaker 1: Crazy and whatever.
Speaker 2: And all the parents out there whose kids aren't going
Speaker 2: to get the boosters they so desperately want, even more
Speaker 2: than nine out of ten parents did not get their kid.
Speaker 3: Although even that report it just said, you know, this
Speaker 3: has stocked with people who've spread vaccine misinformation in the past.
Speaker 3: I would I need to know what you're talking about,
Speaker 3: because the federal government and the cd SEE and the
Speaker 3: NIH and Anthony Fauci and the President himself spread information
Speaker 3: over misinformation over.
Speaker 1: And over and over again. What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm just so surprised there was any COVID in the
Speaker 3: news whatsoever. Now you who did you Judy got a
Speaker 3: COVID test? Is that what you said the other day? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 3: she went to the doc in the box she had
Speaker 3: a respiratory thing and uh and they said, up, you
Speaker 3: gotta have a COVID test because she mentioned the word cough.
Speaker 2: That's interesting because my doctor, surprisingly, I mean the town
Speaker 2: I live in, but my doctor, Winnie, I hood whooping cough.
Speaker 2: They never even checked me for COVID and that's coughing and.
Speaker 1: All kinds of bad. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well then as now now as then, A lot
Speaker 3: of it's nonsense, inconsistent nonsense. Was there ever a kid
Speaker 3: that died from COVID who didn't have other problems? Even
Speaker 3: one in the whole country. I'm not sure they're ranishingly
Speaker 3: small number. I don't remember if it was none or
Speaker 3: just Every death of a child obviously is a tragedy.
Speaker 3: Is vanishing clan nobody? Yeah, yeah, in the biggest country
Speaker 3: on Earth, right, what.
Speaker 1: An odd thing.
Speaker 3: We all need to keep this in mind for the
Speaker 3: next crisis that comes along. But you can be incredibly
Speaker 3: misled by both the media and your government.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so true. And it's a shame.
Speaker 3: They've blown whatever credibility they had, which leads to more
Speaker 3: crackpots getting more attention and further clouding the water. So
Speaker 3: it's more and more difficult to figure out what's true.
Speaker 1: That is the net result. Yeah, which is bad for
Speaker 1: all of us. That sucko, is what that is.
Speaker 3: So what's going on with Raydon John Bolton's house. Anny McCarthy,
Speaker 3: who's been a staunch defender of Trump through the whole
Speaker 3: Law Fair chapters, especially last summer, says this is not good.
Speaker 1: What's happening. We'll tell you what he says.
Speaker 3: And kind of the history of Trump and Bolton classified
Speaker 3: info really compelling cool, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: What sort of reasoning the Justice Department, the FBI would
Speaker 6: give the court for conducting that national security search. Still
Speaker 6: a huge question here, but this is a person that
Speaker 6: Donald Trump has been very much on the ounce with
Speaker 6: since he wrote a book about his service in the
Speaker 6: first Trump administration when John Bolton was the National Security Advisor.
Speaker 3: To Okay, so before we go any further, that's the
Speaker 3: gal who said, not clear where the cheesecake came from.
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew that voice. That was our clip
Speaker 1: of the year twenty twenty. Yeah, that's Kate Bolden bold One.
Speaker 3: That was the clip of the year twenty twenty when
Speaker 3: all the riots were going on. Right, cheesecake factory is looited.
Speaker 3: There's a guy carrying a cheesecake. Not clear where he
Speaker 3: got the cheesecake.
Speaker 6: From your experience, you can see someone actually walking away
Speaker 6: with a cheesecake there after the cheesecake factory was looted.
Speaker 8: Unclear where they may have gotten that.
Speaker 1: All right, now play the new clip.
Speaker 6: What sort of reasoning the Justice Partment the FBI?
Speaker 2: Anyway, back to the crux of the story, Former National
Speaker 2: Security Advisor John Bolton had his home rated by the
Speaker 2: FBI today, and immediately the question is, since Bolton is
Speaker 2: beyond a fierce critic of Donald Trump. He's invited on
Speaker 2: every talk show, mainstream talk show that you can think of,
Speaker 2: because they love having someone who's a Republican bashing Trump
Speaker 2: because they hate him so much. And he goes on
Speaker 2: there and he bad mouse Trump, and so his house
Speaker 2: being rated today. Immediately the mainstream media went to this
Speaker 2: is just re retribution of some sort.
Speaker 3: Right, And I was actually kind of surprised Andy McCarthy
Speaker 3: of the National Review, who was an absolute warrior on
Speaker 3: Trump's side during all the law fair of last year,
Speaker 3: talking about how these charges were obviously trumped up, no
Speaker 3: pun intended, They were bizarre, they were unprecedented, they were
Speaker 3: obviously law fair, and it was absolutely terrible. So McCarthy
Speaker 3: is no, you know, Trump arrangement syndrome victim at all.
Speaker 3: But his article in the National Review today says the
Speaker 3: president is still playing with fire. The retribution. President's latest
Speaker 3: lawfair sortie is a Friday morning raid of the Washington,
Speaker 3: DC area home of John Bolton, is former National security
Speaker 3: advisor and ever since a harsh Trump critic. So what
Speaker 3: it is and what the motivation is and where it ends,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I was really interested in his
Speaker 3: account of how this all started It arose over Bolton's book,
Speaker 3: The Room Where It Happened. It came out in twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: about his time in the Trump administration. Trump fired Bolton
Speaker 3: in September twenty nineteen. Bolton rushed again the book out,
Speaker 3: which required a classified information review by the intelligence community
Speaker 3: community prior to the twenty twenty election. The book depict
Speaker 3: that Trump is incompetent and unfit for the presidency. You
Speaker 3: remember a lot of the quotes, probably very lengthy, and
Speaker 3: includes quotations from conversations about highly sensitive topics what intel
Speaker 3: folks would call born classified. I mean, you don't have
Speaker 3: to ask if this stuff is classified. The minute it
Speaker 3: came out of somebody's mouth, you knew what was. Those
Speaker 3: who've worked with Bolton observed that he is a copious
Speaker 3: note taker and he would take reams of notes in meetings.
Speaker 3: But if those notes are deemed classified when you leave
Speaker 3: your job, you got to destroy him. It's a you
Speaker 3: got to use the burn bags that we've heard about recently.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on everything.
Speaker 2: And you know that's the knock on all this classified
Speaker 2: stuff is that way too much stuff is classified, and
Speaker 2: then that whole born classified thing, you know, ends up
Speaker 2: classifying tons of unimportant stuff.
Speaker 1: Right, that's true too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Bolton maintained that he did destroy any classified notes that
Speaker 3: were in his possession. Then he became a harsh anti
Speaker 3: Trump critic. In a nutshell, Bolton appears to have gotten
Speaker 3: a signal on the book from National Security Council official
Speaker 3: Ellen Knight that the intelligence community's pre publication review of
Speaker 3: the book was complete and the book was approved for publication.
Speaker 3: It didn't have classified information, did not. The approval was
Speaker 3: not a formal final green light. It was just the
Speaker 3: preliminary but based on what he'd been told, Bolton and
Speaker 3: his publishers forged ahead with the printing of the books,
Speaker 3: obviously seeking to publish in the run up to the election,
Speaker 3: when press and public interest would be most intense. Then
Speaker 3: the Trump White House assigned an NSC lawyer to review
Speaker 3: the manuscript and he said, yeah, it's definitely classified stuff.
Speaker 3: It went to a Reagan appointee judge who said, yeah,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: It looks really well. What did he say exactly?
Speaker 3: Ultimately denied the government's motion to block publication of the
Speaker 3: book because publicity about the memoir had already begun in
Speaker 3: more than two hundred thousand copies had been shipped, and
Speaker 3: the judge, the Reagan appointee, opining that Bolton quote had
Speaker 3: exposed his country to harm and himself to civil and
Speaker 3: potential criminal liability. Well, okay, but so since the book
Speaker 3: got printed and everything like that, do we know what
Speaker 3: these particular damaging secrets were, like some of the individual instances, Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know, And I don't know that that's the
Speaker 3: specific ones that the Trump administration had raided his house
Speaker 3: for this morning, or if they think there's more there
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: None of it's clear.
Speaker 2: Well, I know, Andy McCarthy ends with your retribution. He's
Speaker 2: talking to Trump. Your retribution was you one? Yes, you
Speaker 2: don't need to have any more retribution. You won the election, and.
Speaker 3: If you adopt your enemy's tactics, you're apt to end
Speaker 3: up with their results. To and he takes a shot
Speaker 3: at cash Pattel. He says he put out an unseemly
Speaker 3: real time social and media post on x shortly after
Speaker 3: the morning's raid, stated, no one is above the law.
Speaker 1: FBI agent's on a mission.
Speaker 3: So much for the presumption of innocence and the Justice
Speaker 3: Department's obligation to honor the civil rights of persons under investigation.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. I mean Colly was a disaster. Oh,
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean, you know, you need more playing
Speaker 2: politics with the FBI office.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure if we took a poll or just
Speaker 3: looked at the email and texts, we get a pretty
Speaker 3: good share of ya, Hey, it's a race to the bottom,
Speaker 3: and a pretty good share of hey, fight fire with fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's too important that we win.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, troubled times. I wonder what I wonder is this
Speaker 2: the first of many or at least several. James Comi's
Speaker 2: house is going to be raided by the FBI.
Speaker 3: That's what Matt Tayeebi seems to think. I haven't checked
Speaker 3: his substack lately, but earlier today he said. The raid
Speaker 3: comes after Patel announced that agreements have been reached with
Speaker 3: ten FBI whistle blowers doing blah blah blah about the
Speaker 3: Russia Gate thing. I mean, there could be a bunch
Speaker 3: of whistle blowers and disclosures and accusations should be bigger
Speaker 3: than that. I mean, Donald Trump's house was raided, Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's house was raided. Does he raid Chuck Schumer's house
Speaker 3: or anybody else he doesn't like? If it is retribution
Speaker 3: and there's no real good reason for the Bolton thing,
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's the case. Who is that
Speaker 3: whack a doodle, fake Republican gay guy who lied about everything.
Speaker 1: From New York George Santos?
Speaker 3: Santos got to raid his house just to see what
Speaker 3: he's up to these days, just for entertainment value. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he probably doesn't have anything to do with this, but
Speaker 3: you know he's the Russia Gate. But what the hell
Speaker 3: kind of weirdness does he have in his own what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 2: More of that, Just some people who probably have really
Speaker 2: interesting home lives and read their owns.
Speaker 1: Oh lord, this is not good. This is not a
Speaker 1: good child, Lars, It's not.
Speaker 3: Of course it is not. George Santos is a pretty
Speaker 3: good example, though. The number of unprecedented pushing the envelope,
Speaker 3: destroying of norms things that has happened by everybody over
Speaker 3: the last ten years is just extraordinary. Yes, where it
Speaker 3: ends up, I have no idea, And we do get
Speaker 3: some pretty intelligent, pretty well written screens from time to
Speaker 3: time saying guys, the norms are gone, right, you're gonna
Speaker 3: let Kamala come in and institute hardcore DEI k through
Speaker 3: grad school.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna win the fight?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've got a British phrase for you to use. Since
Speaker 2: you're going to England, when you'll be in England tonight
Speaker 2: or tomorrow tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Yes, tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I don't know if then where the International date Line
Speaker 2: is if you end up there yesterday or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works, but it's in Greenwich,
Speaker 1: I think right Greenwich.
Speaker 3: Meantime, various listeners have suggested things I ought to do
Speaker 3: in London, and I appreciate it very much. I've gotten
Speaker 3: some wonderful ideas, but one of them was go and
Speaker 3: stand on the International date line with like one foot
Speaker 3: and yesterday and one in tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I live my life really footing yesterday and one foot
Speaker 1: in tomorrow, with your head in the clouds and your
Speaker 1: dreams on the ground or something.
Speaker 2: There is a saying that if you have one foot
Speaker 2: in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday, you're urinating on today.
Speaker 1: Is an old saying. That's a bad saying. Why it's stupid.
Speaker 1: You live live for today.
Speaker 2: You got one foot thinking about yesterday, one foot thinking
Speaker 2: about tomorrow, you're urinating on today?
Speaker 1: Oh, metaphorically, yes, okay, sorry, no, not literally, you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't urinate on your day. A day is not.
Speaker 3: Failing to appreciate the day you're living exactly. You're living
Speaker 3: in the past with a fuge leep deprived. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I'm a little slow.
Speaker 1: I got a phrase for you to use. Among all
Speaker 1: the things. We'll finish strong next.
Speaker 3: Strong.
Speaker 4: This is radical rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging
Speaker 4: of an election, destroying, vandalizing this democracy, the.
Speaker 1: Rule of law. So I'm sorry. I know some people's sensibilities.
Speaker 4: I respect and appreciate that, but right now, with all
Speaker 4: due respect, we're walking down a damn different path.
Speaker 1: We're fighting fire with fire, and when to punch these
Speaker 1: sons of bitches in the mouth?
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, everything, we just keep going further down the
Speaker 2: road of performative. So he's responding to I'll bet the
Speaker 2: polling that showed two thirds of Californians don't dig this
Speaker 2: and almost two thirds of Democrats don't dig it. So right,
Speaker 2: so he's saying, with all due respect to your sensibilities,
Speaker 2: screw that. We gotta punch these sons of bitches in
Speaker 2: the mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's part of it.
Speaker 3: Plus you know, I heard some great analysis by your
Speaker 3: boy Mark Halpern talking about how the reason Gavy is
Speaker 3: at the front of the pack of the would be
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight ers on the Democratic side is because
Speaker 3: he's forcing the action. He's doing things, he's saying things.
Speaker 3: He's active on social media. He's shaking things up. He's
Speaker 3: jumping in front of the crowd constantly and saying I'm
Speaker 3: the fighter. Look at me fighting, look at me saying
Speaker 3: bad words and on podcasts, look at me.
Speaker 1: The problem with Gavy, and you know, I.
Speaker 3: Almost reached out to Mark that he doesn't care, is
Speaker 3: that he's doing a fabulous job of advertising a terrible product.
Speaker 3: And then once people, you know, pick up the Gavin
Speaker 3: doll and turn it over a couple of times, they'll think,
Speaker 3: good god, he's ruined one of the most amazing places
Speaker 3: on earth. He and his party. This is the last
Speaker 3: product I want to buy, So advertise away, Gavy. He's
Speaker 3: actually doing it quite effectively getting attention.
Speaker 1: And then what else do we have there? On Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom Today? There Katie Oh.
Speaker 8: He tweeted out a Newswire report about Apple TV raising prices,
Speaker 8: and then he quoted it and wrote great work Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: That's Trump's fault.
Speaker 2: That might be clever though. I remember when we were
Speaker 2: doing that riff a long time. No matter what would
Speaker 2: happen to Sacchi, Yeah, and that might be what he's doing.
Speaker 3: No matter what happened, he'd say, thanks Obama, you know,
Speaker 3: raising Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks Obama. What was your favorite baseball team loses
Speaker 1: three in a row? This is Joe b in America.
Speaker 8: Well, so Gavin Newsom has this new Twitter page that's
Speaker 8: sending out all of these trolling things. He just passed
Speaker 8: a bill last year where you're not allowed to use
Speaker 8: deep fakes in political you know, politically motivated deep fakes.
Speaker 1: That's cutting it pretty thin. Doing it, that's cutting it
Speaker 1: pretty thin.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have no principles. There are a few principles left.
Speaker 1: So he might be just trying to jump on that
Speaker 1: kind of meme blame everything on Trump, like in a
Speaker 1: very trumpy way. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing, speaking of Mark Alprin, that Mark
Speaker 2: Alpern has said is that Gavin Newsom is really, you know,
Speaker 2: honoring the Trump style of campaigning and politics by doing
Speaker 2: the similar sort of stuff. That might and I don't
Speaker 2: know if it'll work for him. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: got the same. So, you know, what he doesn't have
Speaker 2: really is the humor. And I know there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people that don't find Trump funny.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: He's pretty freaking funny. And I don't think Gavin's got
Speaker 2: that gear. I think you have to have that along
Speaker 2: with the snark.
Speaker 3: Well, and the other thing Gavin won't have is an
Speaker 3: opponent as stupid as Trump's JD vance is.
Speaker 1: Lot the probable air parent.
Speaker 3: Is laying in the weeds knowing exactly what strategy Gavin's
Speaker 3: going to use, and like an imitation of Trump, and
Speaker 3: is going to go to in another direction.
Speaker 1: He's going to go calm, reasonable, smart. We should have it.
Speaker 1: Is my fault for not asking for it.
Speaker 3: He gave a speech at something or other the other
Speaker 3: day talking about the DC National Guard helping the police,
Speaker 3: that whole story, and he unleashed half a dozen sentences about, Hey,
Speaker 3: this isn't just about Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: This is about whatever city you're living in.
Speaker 3: You don't have to put up with fear all the time,
Speaker 3: you don't have to put up with crime all the time,
Speaker 3: and and people doing drugs in front of your kids.
Speaker 3: Why are we putting up with this? It was very
Speaker 3: unshow busy, un trump sincere. Hey, this is about our families, man,
Speaker 3: and it rang so true. It was really skillful. Plus
Speaker 3: I think it was sincere. But so yeah, Gabby's gonna
Speaker 3: fight the last war. And I think Jade Vance is
Speaker 3: gonna spike him like a volleyball spike him like a
Speaker 3: transgender volleyball player, spikes it into a face of a
Speaker 3: real girl.
Speaker 1: Wow, I see what you did there. Hey, kids, it's
Speaker 1: that time again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host
Speaker 1: for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
Speaker 3: to wrap up the show. Michaelangelo is our technical director.
Speaker 3: He keeps us on the air. Michael, would you lead
Speaker 3: us off please?
Speaker 5: Yeah. I guess the price of Apple TV is going
Speaker 5: up and so enough. I can't pay for all these
Speaker 5: streaming services. I'm gonna have to start doing my own entertainments,
Speaker 5: whether it's shadow puppets or I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got to come up with something. I gonna come
Speaker 1: up with knitting.
Speaker 3: I have your wife videotape your shadow puppetry. Then you
Speaker 3: can watch it back over and over again, and we
Speaker 3: gotta save it on the website. Yeah, and we'll post
Speaker 3: it absolutely for those of us still on the internet.
Speaker 3: Katie Green are steam Musewoman. As a final thought, Katie, So.
Speaker 8: Joe, you're out next week because you will be in London,
Speaker 8: and then I'm out the following week. So the next
Speaker 8: time I see you, hopefully I will be pregnant.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, wow, good luck. We're reading for you.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, it's my turn. No, it's Jack's turn. Jack.
Speaker 1: Final thought. I was deep in thought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came across this British saying reading Ulysses, and
Speaker 2: I thought maybe you could use it when over in
Speaker 2: Great Britain. Who's he when he's at home? Is the saying,
Speaker 2: I guess they say in Britain if you're saying who
Speaker 2: is that? Or who are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Or I don't know who that is? Who is he
Speaker 1: when he's at home? Wasting way? When he's at home? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh that's an interesting question. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of an old Southern expression that I've
Speaker 3: always liked. If somebody's tired of you, get somewhere they
Speaker 3: love you.
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, that's good. Go home. I hope you
Speaker 1: pick up an accent. That would really add a lot
Speaker 1: to our show. You come back, I probably will.
Speaker 3: You remember when Madonna did there, Yeah, back in the
Speaker 3: day she lived in Britain for like a week and
Speaker 3: pick up the accent.
Speaker 1: I knew a guy I'm gonna go caught me.
Speaker 2: I had a guy in college who went over to
Speaker 2: study in England for like a semester, and he came
Speaker 2: back and he had a British accent.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 2: There's no way you picked the chaps Armstrong. You get
Speaker 2: he wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. So many
Speaker 2: people are saying thank you, see it on see you
Speaker 2: on Monday. God bless America.

Speaker 5: don't need shape. Jack and Joe are here to tell
