Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong, Joe Gatty Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Jet Taky and no he Armstrong and Getty Strong
Speaker 2: and why we're not here? It's the Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 2: repe wet you see this story. This is while Tom
Speaker 2: Brady just revealed.
Speaker 3: That his dog is a clone of his family's old dog.
Speaker 2: Then a second time Brady ran into the room and YO,
Speaker 2: don't listen to him.
Speaker 4: He's not the real Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, many football teams, like the Jets, for instance, You're thinking,
Speaker 5: can we.
Speaker 2: Clone the owner of the dog? Is there any chance
Speaker 2: of that?
Speaker 5: That would actually be an interesting uh cloning, although I'm
Speaker 5: against cloning humans. To make the point about cloning, if
Speaker 5: you cloned it to Tom Brady, he would have the
Speaker 5: same genetics, but a different brain and probably a brain
Speaker 5: that doesn't decide to take a moderately athletic body at
Speaker 5: age twenty two and turn it into something completely different
Speaker 5: with an amount of work and dedication that has rarely
Speaker 5: been seen on planet Earth.
Speaker 4: Well, and that Tom Brady Junior would not interact with
Speaker 4: Tom Brady's parents in the way that Tom did, nor
Speaker 4: his friends, nor that girl who gave him an admiring
Speaker 4: look after he threw his first touchdown pass or whatever
Speaker 4: that shapes a person.
Speaker 5: Anyway, Tom Brady cloned his dog, but he's invested heavily
Speaker 5: in this company that does that.
Speaker 2: So there you go. Please, I understand. So there's lots
Speaker 2: of dogs, Tom, your numbskull.
Speaker 5: First of all, not all the reporting has been good
Speaker 5: over this major announcement by the Transportation Secretary that they're
Speaker 5: going to cut ten percent of flights at the forty
Speaker 5: forty airports that they haven't named, but as Joe said,
Speaker 5: the're probably gonna be the forty biggest airports. And I
Speaker 5: was listening to one newscaster they said it could be
Speaker 5: hundreds of flights.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no. They say it's going to
Speaker 2: be more like forty five.
Speaker 4: Hundred flights canceled on Saturday, for instance, on Saturday, just Saturday,
Speaker 4: forty five hundred flights, not hundreds of flights.
Speaker 2: Four five hundred flights on Saturday.
Speaker 4: So that is technically hundreds of flights, yeah, forty five hundred,
Speaker 4: but it does not send the message that is what
Speaker 4: you need. Then we got this text because I said, man,
Speaker 4: it's really gonna be. There's no way they allow us
Speaker 4: to go through Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: We got this.
Speaker 5: There are millions of us working men and women who
Speaker 5: could give a gd about taking a flight over the holidays.
Speaker 5: It's just you whiny small men like Jack who care
Speaker 5: about s like that.
Speaker 4: But wow, I pity you, my friend, to have a
Speaker 4: pinched heart full of dark hatred like that. You have
Speaker 4: that attitude about family who don't see each other nearly
Speaker 4: often as often as they'd like getting together for the holidays.
Speaker 4: That's that's troubling. I mean, it was a pinched heart
Speaker 4: that killed Dick Cheney. A pinched heart. I've never heard
Speaker 4: that term. That's a good one. I'm gonna start using it.
Speaker 5: You and your pinched heart, get out of here, your
Speaker 5: bad attitude.
Speaker 2: You gotta pick your spots.
Speaker 4: But anyway, aside from just replying to that's got to
Speaker 4: be trolling or somebody who's just profoundly unhappy. Seriously, sir,
Speaker 4: I will I will pray for you and hope for
Speaker 4: your finding joy someday.
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna get into this.
Speaker 5: Let me turn amateur therapist for a moment. My guess
Speaker 5: would be, you've got a family dynamic that you wish
Speaker 5: was different for all kinds of reasons that may or
Speaker 5: may not be any of your fault. And it makes
Speaker 5: you angry that other people put so much effort into
Speaker 5: getting together on Thanksgiving. Because we used to work with
Speaker 5: a guy who's dad had left when he was a
Speaker 5: little kid, and his take on Father's Day that it
Speaker 5: was just a day to try to rub it in
Speaker 5: the face of people who don't have dads. It was
Speaker 5: like an angry, vengeful day, is what Father's Day was.
Speaker 5: And I thought, God, that's horrible. And you know, I
Speaker 5: can't really blame him. I didn't have that experience, thank God,
Speaker 5: of my dad walking out the door when I was
Speaker 5: two years old.
Speaker 4: But still, I mean, today's word is projection, projection or projecting,
Speaker 4: putting your psychology on somebody else.
Speaker 5: That's sad, that's too bad, right, And I guess I'm
Speaker 5: guessing that's what's going on with this Thanksgiving thing here.
Speaker 5: But as I pointed out with Joe coming with the
Speaker 5: fantastic word cascading, if you'll remember from past holiday flubs
Speaker 5: with the airlines and everything like that, even if people
Speaker 5: are just driving, there won't be a rental car.
Speaker 4: The roads will be absolutely packed, and people won't be
Speaker 4: able to get anywhere or stay at a hotel while
Speaker 4: they're traveling or anything, because it all just it just
Speaker 4: all falls apart, the whole travel thing. And it's the
Speaker 4: busiest travel weekend of the flip and year, whether you
Speaker 4: travel a sert or not. Right, So anyway, well, I
Speaker 4: can yeah, you can't interesting with somebody like that.
Speaker 2: I find it interesting though.
Speaker 4: Well, And while we're preoccupied trying to figure out what
Speaker 4: flight to take, the turkeys will flee into the woods
Speaker 4: not to be seen again. We'll be forced to eat
Speaker 4: I don't know what hamburgers are, something terrible awful. So
Speaker 4: the word of the year, if we're picking a word
Speaker 4: of the year based on the last thirty six hours,
Speaker 4: would be affordability. All of your pundits claiming that's why
Speaker 4: Democrats won, and the Republicans talking about we need to
Speaker 4: start talking more about that, and et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5: You know why, because it's true. It is one of
Speaker 5: the biggest problems we've got going in. It's COVID and
Speaker 5: then all these ridiculous bills we went and an inflation,
Speaker 5: and we've never adjusted emotionally to the new prices. I know,
Speaker 5: I haven't. I'm still shocked. Every time I go to
Speaker 5: the grocery store or go to a restaurant. I'm still
Speaker 5: surprised at the end by the bill, and for isn't
Speaker 5: much more rapidly than wages, and everything is so expensive,
Speaker 5: Like they were using an example I think is New Jersey.
Speaker 5: Their energy prices had gone up twenty percent in last year. Yeah,
Speaker 5: well California were like, well, we'd love it if it
Speaker 5: were only twenty percent.
Speaker 2: So many things are so expensive.
Speaker 4: I think regularly, how would twenty five year old me
Speaker 4: have survived. I probably have a couple of roommates and
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe take the bus because I couldn't
Speaker 4: afford car insurance.
Speaker 2: It's just crazy.
Speaker 4: My son, my high school son, last night, was saying,
Speaker 4: I don't understand how I'm going to be able to
Speaker 4: move out when I'm eighteen. I just don't understand how
Speaker 4: I'm ever going to be able to afford it. And
Speaker 4: I said, well, you're fifteen, so we don't have to
Speaker 4: worry about that right now.
Speaker 2: But I wonder about that too.
Speaker 5: Car insurance is very insane, energy bills are insane, and
Speaker 5: of course rent and home prices are crazy. And one
Speaker 5: of the big numbers that came out yesterday that got
Speaker 5: so much attention that I wanted to talk about is
Speaker 5: the median age of a first time home buyer hit
Speaker 5: a record high forty years old in the most recent survey.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Comparing that fairly recently to it was thirty three in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, it was twenty Wait wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 4: it's moved seven years in four years.
Speaker 2: That's practically impossible. That's crazy. Well, what was an interest
Speaker 2: rate in twenty twenty one? Two percent?
Speaker 5: Yeah, granted right, and again it hit forty average, The
Speaker 5: median age of first time home buyer hit forty It
Speaker 5: was twenty nine in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2: That's how much it has changed now.
Speaker 5: And over the last year, first time home buyers made
Speaker 5: up just twenty one percent of purchases. That's the lowest
Speaker 5: it's ever been in terms of a percentage of people
Speaker 5: buying houses. First time home buyers. Now there is the
Speaker 5: not just can you afford it or not? I'm a renter,
Speaker 5: I can afford to buy a house. I'd thought it
Speaker 5: was a bad idea. A lot of people are doing that,
Speaker 5: even younger where you you know, you might have come
Speaker 5: to the legitimate conclusion that I'm better off renting right
Speaker 5: now than buying a house, even though I've got enough
Speaker 5: saved up i could buy a house or whatever.
Speaker 2: So that factors in somewhat, doesn't it. Ah?
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, Yeah. The housing market is in a very
Speaker 4: weird spot. As we've talked about many times. It's stuck.
Speaker 4: All the people who had crazy low interest rates on
Speaker 4: their mortgages can't give that up. They can't move up,
Speaker 4: they can't downsize, and that, you know, clogs everything up,
Speaker 4: as we've discussed.
Speaker 2: But major changes like this should get more attention.
Speaker 5: And I guess that's what's happening over the last thirty
Speaker 5: six hours with both parties realizing what's people's top issue.
Speaker 5: But you go from meeting home first time home buyer
Speaker 5: twenty nine when I was in high school to forty now,
Speaker 5: that's a pretty big change in the structure of society, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: And there are sociological causes to I'm quite confident of that.
Speaker 4: I mean, you just look at the prolonged adolescence of
Speaker 4: young adult porn. You do have porn. I hadn't thought
Speaker 4: of that. But and and also, and this is digging
Speaker 4: a bit deep, but I think we need to dig
Speaker 4: more to fundamental reasons than we do. Because I've been
Speaker 4: reading about this a lot and it's one of my
Speaker 4: top five or sog Hods Joe's top five ghods. Will
Speaker 4: do that Friday at eight ought to actually list them anyway.
Speaker 4: One of them is the idea of free range parenting
Speaker 4: and how just read a great great thing piece that
Speaker 4: I'll share with you at some point to parent better,
Speaker 4: parent less, and how the style of parenting that has
Speaker 4: removed all risk, all failure and learning to overcome failure,
Speaker 4: free play decision making, just the whole free range parenting
Speaker 4: thing or three free range child thing has contributed to
Speaker 4: people who do not do the things it takes to
Speaker 4: get ahead because they're still learning how to be an
Speaker 4: adult at a much later age.
Speaker 2: But it all factors in. You can't just cite one thing.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're much less likely to buy a house if
Speaker 5: you're not getting married and having kids, true, much less
Speaker 5: likely if your focus is I want to be a
Speaker 5: world traveler, so I want to have an apartment and
Speaker 5: travel around a lot, which is a lot of young people.
Speaker 5: You're you're putting your money into a backpacking through Europe.
Speaker 5: You're not putting your money into a down payment on
Speaker 5: a house, just yeah, And you get to do that
Speaker 5: as long as as long as at some point you
Speaker 5: don't come to me and say I need some of
Speaker 5: your money.
Speaker 4: Right, or we need policies that will allow me to
Speaker 4: buy a house quickly in spite.
Speaker 2: Of my backpackings.
Speaker 4: So a couple of headlines really quickly to your point
Speaker 4: about afford a bill being a great message. And my
Speaker 4: one big caveat about this is that it is yet
Speaker 4: another perversion of how we ought to look at life
Speaker 4: and government, that if the economy is good, we credit
Speaker 4: the president and his party, and if the economy is
Speaker 4: bad the opposite that's dumb for the opposite president.
Speaker 2: What's that? That's dumba. It is dumba, and it's it's.
Speaker 4: It's worse than dumba because we don't believe in silent letters, because.
Speaker 2: That excuse me. First of all, the economy takes care
Speaker 2: of the economy. The government just.
Speaker 4: Screws it up with a handful of exceptions. Yes, I'm
Speaker 4: for reasonable regulations of the food industry and that sort
Speaker 4: of thing.
Speaker 2: Reasonable ones.
Speaker 4: But once people get it into their head that if
Speaker 4: the economy is good, I will reward this party, and
Speaker 4: if the economy is bad, I will reward the other party.
Speaker 4: They have I've made the assumption that the government ought
Speaker 4: to run the economy, which is an incredibly stupid and
Speaker 4: dangerous thing to do. You don't want that. Central planning sucks.
Speaker 4: In words of a single syllable, anyway, a handful of
Speaker 4: headlines I have assembled over just a few days. The
Speaker 4: average cost of a family health insurance plan is now
Speaker 4: twenty seven thousand dollars a year. WHOA, maybe you don't
Speaker 4: you know pay it all? But somebody is. Maybe your
Speaker 4: employer does. Wow, we all know what our deductible is.
Speaker 4: If you're old enough, you can compare to what it
Speaker 4: used to be. Yeah, indeed, I'm sorry, I've got so
Speaker 4: many tabs open. We'll get to it as bear with me,
Speaker 4: Stand with me. The average Oh there it is. Run
Speaker 4: away insurance costs bring back talk of price caps. Increasingly,
Speaker 4: insurers we're talking about homeowners and car insurance in both
Speaker 4: red and blue states are being told to cap prices
Speaker 4: as lawmakers come under pressure.
Speaker 2: Car insurance, at least I Live is not Armstrong.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty show.
Speaker 6: More than thirty years after the murders of Nicole Brown
Speaker 6: Simpson and Ron Goldman, attorneys for O. J. Simpson's estate
Speaker 6: finally agreeing to accept a nearly fifty eight million dollar
Speaker 6: claim from the Goldman family.
Speaker 2: Wow, damn fifty eight. Of course OJ is dead.
Speaker 5: I think Goldman going after his money all those years
Speaker 5: was to make OJ miserable because he feels like OJ
Speaker 5: got away with murdering his daughter.
Speaker 4: But son, yeah, her son, sorry, yeah Goldman. Yeah, although
Speaker 4: the Brown family was after him too. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: How much money is there in the estate.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Coming up.
Speaker 4: Jonathan Martin, the dean of political writers at Politico, says
Speaker 4: Gavvy boy is the clear front runner for the presidency.
Speaker 5: Let's say it out loud. We'll share that terrifying information.
Speaker 5: That's you got his new book coming out soon. We
Speaker 5: gotta tell you about that.
Speaker 2: Oh good lord, I wouldn't use it to line my parrot.
Speaker 4: A young man in a hurry speaking of at the
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty superstore, going Strong.
Speaker 2: It's order now, just in time for Christmas.
Speaker 4: Ruin the entire country New some twenty twenty eight people
Speaker 4: are loving that t shirt. Both cal Unicornians and those
Speaker 4: who dislike progressive mismanagement of our nation's affairs again ruin
Speaker 4: the entire.
Speaker 2: Country New Some twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4: Oh in the Armstrong and Getdy air Force blue stainless
Speaker 4: steel water bottle with heavy duty straw lid.
Speaker 5: So Katie's wearing an Armstrong and Getdy sweatshirt today, hoodie,
Speaker 5: one of my favorites. That's great, so comfortable. So we
Speaker 5: were told by Hansen, you have a news headline for us.
Speaker 2: Is this true? Do you know anything about that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know. If you're wrong, the most important
Speaker 2: story of the day, he says, I do what I do?
Speaker 2: Is it better not be idiotic? Because I'm yeah mood?
Speaker 5: Because we do not like people just messing around saying
Speaker 5: weird crap.
Speaker 4: We mean not a salary, Harry Michael, what is our story?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: There are twenty six letters in the alphabet, but one
Speaker 3: is just not getting in off love. Linguists say the
Speaker 3: letter T is being dropped from words like kitten, mountain
Speaker 3: and interview coast to coast, and no one knows why,
Speaker 3: but they have named it. It's called T glottalization, and
Speaker 3: it's a speech error that's happening mostly in the under
Speaker 3: twenty five age range.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. My son does that, and I have no idea.
Speaker 2: So it's it's so annoying, it's.
Speaker 5: It's a it's a well, you know, it's like up talk.
Speaker 5: Originally was highly annoying, but it's just so common now
Speaker 5: I don't even notice it.
Speaker 2: It's like everybody does it.
Speaker 5: So yeah, the dropping the tee thing, my son has
Speaker 5: done that since he was younger, but I didn't realize
Speaker 5: maybe he picked that.
Speaker 2: Up from other youth. You know, it's a Southern California thing.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 4: Originally, like so many annoying speaking whether the Valley Girl,
Speaker 4: the up talk in general. Now this I happen to
Speaker 4: notice it from a couple of bands out of the
Speaker 4: LA area who like, there's a one line was weight in,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, wait, why did you say wait in
Speaker 4: instead of waiting wait.
Speaker 5: I'm waiting for Executive producer Mike Hanson joins us handsome.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this has been a problem in our society for
Speaker 7: quite some time, and it needs to come to an end.
Speaker 2: And it's not just the twenty somethings.
Speaker 7: This is crept up into people in their late thirties
Speaker 7: and early forties taking over our society. I've been bothered
Speaker 7: by it for years. It needs to come to an
Speaker 7: end immediately. My children are being effected.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. Bring back the tea. You've noticed
Speaker 2: it in your kids. I've noticed that my kids.
Speaker 7: One of our beloved colleagues is the first person that
Speaker 7: started doing it.
Speaker 2: It was such a bothered I couldn't understand. Why are
Speaker 2: you dropping your teas? Ye name names off the air myself?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? What's wrong with you? We have cats?
Speaker 4: And he says, oh, it's a kitten. And what I
Speaker 4: never said anything about it? That is so great ing.
Speaker 4: Oh goodness, I want to hit them.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, well it's not just my son.
Speaker 5: I thought, actually thought maybe he had like a speech
Speaker 5: impediment or something with his tongue or something that.
Speaker 2: And it sounds like it doesn't it? Yes, stop it,
Speaker 2: stop it. But it's just picked up a social trend.
Speaker 2: Oh darn. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. That
Speaker 2: is an important story. You were right.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Showy or Jack or Show podcasts
Speaker 1: and our Hot Lakes, The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 8: The irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone
Speaker 8: if President Trump was a king, the government would be.
Speaker 2: Open right now.
Speaker 8: If President Trump was a king, they would not have
Speaker 8: been able to engage in that free speech exercise out
Speaker 8: on the mall by the way, which was open, because
Speaker 8: President Trump hasn't closed it. So I mean it's they
Speaker 8: needed a stunt, they needed a show. Chuck Schumer needs
Speaker 8: cover right now. He's closed the government down because he
Speaker 8: needs political cover, and this was a part of it.
Speaker 5: That's a pretty decent point. I'd forgotten the shutdown was
Speaker 5: going on.
Speaker 2: I believe he forgot. Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 4: And if Trump was a king, he could also do
Speaker 4: something pretty quickly about our vulnerability to China in the
Speaker 4: whole world of rare earth materials.
Speaker 2: This is really an.
Speaker 4: Interesting quandary for a free society and people who prize
Speaker 4: the free markets. So as recently as nineteen ninety one,
Speaker 4: the US led the world in the production of rare
Speaker 4: earth minerals, partly because we had a giant mine in
Speaker 4: California Mountain Pass. But when China faked out the US
Speaker 4: and said, we're just a poor developing country and I
Speaker 4: don't know, maybe communism isn't so great, and maybe we
Speaker 4: could be friends, and maybe if if you help us
Speaker 4: build our economy will become more like a democracy. Completely
Speaker 4: duped us for decades. Read Michael Pillsbury's one hundred Year Marathon.
Speaker 4: Its brilliant really describes it.
Speaker 2: But one of the.
Speaker 4: Things they did was they poured government money into their
Speaker 4: rare earth mining and refining operations, and then when anybody
Speaker 4: in the West, like the US, tried to compete, they
Speaker 4: dumped their goods the supplies into the market, just crushed
Speaker 4: the market. And so our companies went out of business
Speaker 4: or sold themselves to Chinese entities, and then China consolidated.
Speaker 4: There are hundreds of rare earth companies into a few
Speaker 4: super giant powerhouses that could work with the communist Chinese.
Speaker 4: And so even now as we're trying to resurrect our
Speaker 4: domestic rare earth industry, China is doing it's using all
Speaker 4: the levers a dictatorship can to try to crush that.
Speaker 4: And so the u US is going to have to
Speaker 4: take the US government, it's going to have to take
Speaker 4: probably a more and more activist goal role rather in
Speaker 4: fulfilling the goal of building up our domestic capabilities. And
Speaker 4: you know, Trump's already got big investments in various companies
Speaker 4: whatever the hell that means, and we might have to
Speaker 4: get into these quasi public private partnerships that are really
Speaker 4: really unhealthy for a system like ours for reasons I could,
Speaker 4: you know, drone on about. But the point is when
Speaker 4: you have the government controlling billions and trillions of dollars
Speaker 4: worth of industry, then you get a situation where it's
Speaker 4: just asking for good governance that has anything to do
Speaker 4: with the needs of the people.
Speaker 2: Forget it. There's too much money at stake.
Speaker 5: But you can't let your number one enemy control the
Speaker 5: entire supply klonamdium or whatever red metal is important.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because they
Speaker 4: could crash the stock market in a day. Oh they
Speaker 4: could bring all of our car companies and most of
Speaker 4: our tech companies to their knees in a day if
Speaker 4: they were to announce, Hey, by the way, you can't
Speaker 4: buy any of this stuff fu which is why.
Speaker 2: China enacted some new restrictions.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to describe them because it's kind of
Speaker 4: technical and boring, but they essentially said, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 4: make it a lot higher for y'all to get this stuff.
Speaker 4: And Trump that's when he responded with one hundred percent
Speaker 4: tearoff on bunches of Chinese goods.
Speaker 2: Are all Chinese goods that I can't remember everything because.
Speaker 4: That's I mean, they have us buy the you know,
Speaker 4: use whatever descriptor you prefer. We are in a terribly
Speaker 4: vulnerable spot. So what do we do. The sack, that's
Speaker 4: a good one. They got us buy the sack, the nerds,
Speaker 4: the nagils. Sure, yeah, it's large.
Speaker 2: When I heard it come out of my mouth. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: perhaps a little restraint, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Uh So, one of the aspects of this that's so
Speaker 4: annoying to me, well two of them. Every time we
Speaker 4: in the past, pre Trump and for all my problems
Speaker 4: with Trump, he was the guy who said, China's screwing us.
Speaker 2: Why are we letting them? Anyway?
Speaker 4: Every time past administrations would go to China and say, hey,
Speaker 4: y'all are dumping uhe made up Tonia into the market,
Speaker 4: and you're killing us, and they would turn out their
Speaker 4: pockets and.
Speaker 2: Say, oh, we're a poor developing economy.
Speaker 4: You've got to let us do this for a while,
Speaker 4: just till we're up on our feet.
Speaker 2: Then we'll compete fairly.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, China, so long as you promise us you're reforming. Oh,
Speaker 4: we're reforming, they would say. And so we just got
Speaker 4: caught with our pants down and now we're again incredibly vulnerable.
Speaker 2: Oh the other aspect of China that is ahole. You
Speaker 2: know what. Our guy is asleep at the switch there
Speaker 2: he is.
Speaker 4: He was taking a smoke break. He smokes a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm worried about him. But one of the aspects of
Speaker 4: it that bothers me so much is and the whole
Speaker 4: woke environmental thing. And there's there's smart, reasonable environmentalism, then
Speaker 4: there's the Gavin Newsome woke crap. And what annoys me
Speaker 4: so much is we.
Speaker 9: Still use every bit as much oil, we still use
Speaker 9: every bit as much natural gas, and every bit as
Speaker 9: much of these rare earth minerals, but we have third
Speaker 9: world countries mine it and refine it for us, so
Speaker 9: we can tiptoe around in our white gloves and say,
Speaker 9: look how clean we are.
Speaker 4: We don't rape the environment by mining these materials. Now,
Speaker 4: we just use them and let somebody who's way less
Speaker 4: concerned about the environment get them for us. That's the
Speaker 4: opposite of being an environmentalist. You flame and blanket hypocrites.
Speaker 4: So China trust me. They know the hole they have
Speaker 4: over us, and they're not gonna let it go easily.
Speaker 2: And so what do we do as a government? I
Speaker 2: don't know, Jack, Do you have the answer?
Speaker 4: Do we built up us? Did you say it's a
Speaker 4: condom conundrum? Why would I say it's a condom? It
Speaker 4: sounded like condom? You was your your idiotic adolescent choe. No,
Speaker 4: well I didn't. I said it's conundrum, which is a
Speaker 4: perfectly so you claim. So you claim anyway, go to
Speaker 4: my doctor and get my ears de waxed again.
Speaker 2: Where was I?
Speaker 4: Oh, you know Uncle Sam's mining. Do we have a
Speaker 4: government controlled giant mining apparatus? Or do we actually have
Speaker 4: the government pick winners and losers and invest in giant
Speaker 4: companies that can get us back to self sufficiency.
Speaker 2: It's it's a tough one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: We painted ourselves into a strategic corner through the naivete
Speaker 4: of the past.
Speaker 5: And Trump's supposed to meet with the President sheet at
Speaker 5: some point here and soon.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know.
Speaker 5: Our frenemies, the Chinese you might be meeting with, you
Speaker 5: might be meeting with Putin soon. They announced that last
Speaker 5: week and they're trying to put that together.
Speaker 2: Got to take a turn the screws on Putin Trump.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you can explain that to me, I'm interested.
Speaker 5: I'm hoping there's something behind the scenes we don't know about,
Speaker 5: because the stuff that's on the face of it is
Speaker 5: he pressured the hell out of Zelensky over the weekend.
Speaker 5: He talked about it last night on the plane that, Uh,
Speaker 5: Zelensky's got to give up the don Bass region, that's
Speaker 5: the Donetsk basin don Bass, big chunk of Ukraine that
Speaker 5: Russia has taken chunks of. And uh, and Trump really
Speaker 5: pressured Zelensky to give up on that, saying no to
Speaker 5: the Tomahawk missiles.
Speaker 2: And when does he ever pressure Putin? Does that happen?
Speaker 2: And why not? He pressured Netan Yahoo?
Speaker 5: I mean, that's all the credit everybody gave him for
Speaker 5: making this amazing Middle East piece deals that he pressured
Speaker 5: both sides.
Speaker 2: Does he pressure Putin ever? Well? He, I think, why not?
Speaker 4: To the point it's much more, you know, the pressure
Speaker 4: on net and Yahoo existed, but he exercised well, he
Speaker 4: enacted the policy that all right, you've gotten intransigent, you know,
Speaker 4: a party to these negotiations. Put maximum pressure on him.
Speaker 4: Take out fodoh. Let the Israelis drop a bomb in Dohar.
Speaker 4: You know, kill off hesbela, kill off a moss, go
Speaker 4: into Gaza City. Maximum pressure. It's worked a couple of
Speaker 4: times now. But with Putin it's kid gloves. And by
Speaker 4: the way, don't give me well he has nukes. World
Speaker 4: War three, blah blah blah. You lost the right to
Speaker 4: make that argument with Tucker Carlson said bombing the Foido
Speaker 4: plant would lead to World War three.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 4: It led to a whimpering and just ballless Iran begging
Speaker 4: for mercy.
Speaker 5: I finished the Tucker Carlson fourth episode of the World
Speaker 5: Trade Center nine to eleven documentary. Oh oh boy, here's
Speaker 5: a hint. It's the Jews. But uh was I going
Speaker 5: to say about.
Speaker 4: Not the people who are swearing for decades that they
Speaker 4: would kill us and we know them by name and right.
Speaker 2: That's something else I was going to say about Putin
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 5: So the Financial Times is reporting that Trump and Zelensky
Speaker 5: were shouting at each other in their Oval office meeting
Speaker 5: on Friday, and when Trump finally decided NA not giving
Speaker 5: tomahawks to you?
Speaker 2: Why I don't know that seemed like that was the
Speaker 2: directtionh is going.
Speaker 5: But anyway, Ran Paul was on one of the talk
Speaker 5: shows yesterday and he said, people keep talking about sticks,
Speaker 5: how about carrots. We're hitting them with pretty hard sanctions
Speaker 5: right now. Why don't what if we tell Russia will
Speaker 5: release all these sanctions if you end the war, which
Speaker 5: of course will be criticized by some as rewarding a
Speaker 5: completely illegal move of just attacking the country next year
Speaker 5: and taking their land.
Speaker 2: But correct, it would end the war, could end the war?
Speaker 2: M No, got it.
Speaker 4: I don't think it would. It would not end Russian
Speaker 4: aggression in any way.
Speaker 5: Lost it for appearances, you'd have to put some sort
Speaker 5: of peacekeeping forces in there, triggers.
Speaker 2: Then would you take from that?
Speaker 5: If you were putin I would get my ducks back
Speaker 5: in a row and take more.
Speaker 2: Land, take Estonia. Yeah. The message is you push hard enough,
Speaker 2: the West backs down, gives you what you want. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well the real I wasn't gonna give Johnny the candy,
Speaker 4: but he threw a tantrum. I'm sure it won't happen again.
Speaker 4: Please right exactly? So similar to the Middle East? Is
Speaker 4: this the thing with Russia and Ukraine? Who's gonna be
Speaker 4: the international force that keeps things in place there in Gaza,
Speaker 4: who's gonna put troops on the ground or whatever? And
Speaker 4: then that it would be the day after situation Russia Ukraine,
Speaker 4: if you come to some sort of agreement, who's gonna
Speaker 4: be the force that keeps the agreement? These questions have
Speaker 4: not been answered. Yeah, it's still it seems like it's
Speaker 4: thin ice to me. But we'll see. There are twists
Speaker 4: in the road ahead.
Speaker 2: Everybody knew it.
Speaker 4: Brief version is because I want to be I want
Speaker 4: to be helping Ukraine. More very brief version is Trump
Speaker 4: was talking really tough about sending tomahawks and all these
Speaker 4: different things, spent two hours on the phone with Putin
Speaker 4: and then seemed to flip completely back over to that side.
Speaker 2: Again. That's what it looked like to me.
Speaker 4: So Putin may be the greatest manipulator currently doing business
Speaker 4: on the planet, where Trump just really.
Speaker 2: Likes being his friend or something. And I'm not exactly
Speaker 2: sure what that is. I hope that's not the case.
Speaker 2: I suspect it may be.
Speaker 4: Yikes, Yeah, Armstrong Andy.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty shirt.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 10: Tom Brady's cloned dog the revelation from Tom Brady about
Speaker 10: his family pet. The former NFL star says his new dog, Juni,
Speaker 10: is a clone of his previous dog, Lua, who died
Speaker 10: in twenty twenty three. Brady says he worked with a
Speaker 10: biotech company he has invested in to clone his beloved
Speaker 10: pitbull mix using a blood sample collected while Lua was
Speaker 10: a first of all, you know it's.
Speaker 4: A publicity stunt for this company's invested in plays.
Speaker 5: Your beloved family dog was a pit bull mix. You're
Speaker 5: freaking Tom Brady. What are you doing getting pit bull
Speaker 5: mixes for the family dog?
Speaker 2: An? That was the last straw I Giselle dumped him.
Speaker 2: Could be any.
Speaker 5: Who Katie, you love your dog, Joe loves his dog.
Speaker 5: Michael's got cat? Yeah? Hey, hey what that was speciesist?
Speaker 4: Michael. I'm standing up for you. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: have this, this casual derision of your lifestyle choices.
Speaker 5: I'm not allowed to say Michael has cats. It was
Speaker 5: the way you said it. I didn't notice it.
Speaker 2: Michael less cats.
Speaker 5: How do you feel about the need to clone our
Speaker 5: dog because we like the current one so much?
Speaker 2: Now, no even than idiotic. I thought you might be
Speaker 2: a yes on that, Katie, No, I because it's not
Speaker 2: the same dog.
Speaker 5: Ah, you are well read enough on this topic to realize, yes,
Speaker 5: it is not the same dog. It will not behave
Speaker 5: the same It's well, it's not the same dog, period.
Speaker 2: You don't even really need anything after that. It's not
Speaker 2: the same dog.
Speaker 4: But it's a particular source of self indulgent more money
Speaker 4: than sense madness. And that that's the one chink in
Speaker 4: the armor of my hero Javier and Milai. Didn't he
Speaker 4: clone his dog?
Speaker 2: Five? He's got the city.
Speaker 4: He had a favorite dog, and he's got five of
Speaker 4: exactly it's the same and no kids. So that is
Speaker 4: a weird thing about it. But anyway, I don't want
Speaker 4: to get a hung up on that any port in
Speaker 4: a storm.
Speaker 5: So yeah, and Tom Brady's invested in this corporation that
Speaker 5: will do it. And from what I understand, I have
Speaker 5: no idea how true this is, particularly among the wealthy.
Speaker 5: Cloning their beloved Fufu who passed away is a thing
Speaker 5: because you're stupid and think it's going to be the
Speaker 5: same dog.
Speaker 2: It's a weird sort.
Speaker 4: Of conceit to think that Foolfu was just so special.
Speaker 4: She was the most special dog ever. I mean, I've
Speaker 4: got to say that. Because I'm a rich person, I
Speaker 4: can't say, you.
Speaker 2: Know, the dogs are great. The dog's a dog. The
Speaker 2: next one will be as good as this one.
Speaker 4: From them, No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go save another dog. Hit the shelter. That's a
Speaker 2: good way bull mix. There's plenty of them, no kidding, yeah,
Speaker 2: no kidding.
Speaker 4: Why do you serve a three hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 4: bottle of wine when there are plenty of seventy five
Speaker 4: dollars bottles that everybody's good. It's the same answer to
Speaker 4: a different question showing how rich you are.
Speaker 5: Got youa uh yeah, no kidding. Particularly in Tom Brady's case,
Speaker 5: you need to put bull mix. Go to your local shelter,
Speaker 5: maybe not where he lives, but drive a little further
Speaker 5: outside of town from where you live and go to
Speaker 5: a shelter.
Speaker 2: There are lots of pit bull mixes, oh plenty to
Speaker 2: choose from.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's part of the way I stay down
Speaker 4: on earth is though I am fabulously wealthy, I generally
Speaker 4: drink a prison toilet pruno. I've got well, I've got
Speaker 4: it my own, you know, pruno toilet that I use.
Speaker 4: We don't use it for anything but production of my
Speaker 4: prison style wine.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 4: It keeps me connected to you common people. You know
Speaker 4: that reminds me you're a I'm choking. You're a fan
Speaker 4: of speaking of being fancy. You're a fan of the bidet. Oh, yes,
Speaker 4: I am, and uh I the house I moved into
Speaker 4: it has a bidet in my bathroom and I have
Speaker 4: an actual bidet. You're like the seat of the day
Speaker 4: seat on top of your toilet that one, okay of
Speaker 4: a day is a separate thing, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, formally speaking.
Speaker 5: I stayed in a European hotel and it had the
Speaker 5: separate thing and I never used.
Speaker 2: It, and you gotta hop on over to use it.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. But I got the bidet thing that this is.
Speaker 2: Isn't that what most people get? Yeah? What's that? Exactly?
Speaker 2: The attachment?
Speaker 4: The attachment Okay, but I've never used it, and I
Speaker 4: just have never even thought about figuring. There's no instruction manual,
Speaker 4: and I don't want, you know, uh, water up my
Speaker 4: you hoo if I if I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 11: Stream cliching them. But I'm not gonna yield your money.

Speaker 2: gonna try? You a coward.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid I'll like it. You won't be able to
Speaker 5: get me out of there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I.
Speaker 5: Don't know, I really I just don't know how to
Speaker 5: use it, and I don't know who I would ask?
Speaker 5: Can you come into my toilet and show me how
Speaker 5: to use this?
Speaker 4: Ask you?
Speaker 2: Ask Groc right and have that record preserve forever? But
Speaker 2: what what? What's your hesitance here to?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Ask the internet? Or what brand is it?
Speaker 4: There's a number of knobs and buttons, and I just
Speaker 4: don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 5: You take a picture of it, send it to groc
Speaker 5: and say how do I use this thing? And I'm
Speaker 5: flipping sixty years old. I've lived in my whole life
Speaker 5: without one, and it's been fine. Although you say it's.

Speaker 5: act comparison of course, A right?
Speaker 2: Where were we? Well?
Speaker 4: It's so important stuff to discuss, Is it just? I've
Speaker 4: power washed many things in my life. I used to
Speaker 4: when I worked at the feed lot, I was regularly
Speaker 4: power washing things. Is that basically what you're doing? You're
Speaker 4: power washing your undercarriage right with the uh the water
Speaker 4: pressure appropriately dialed back. You're not taking the paint off
Speaker 4: the quarter panel and an old Chrysler.
Speaker 2: You're you're indeed just cleansing your your nether regions. Yes,
Speaker 2: and again, what if I like it so much? You
Speaker 2: can't get me out of there? Dad? We're hungry. I
