Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jetty and he
Speaker 2: Armsrong get live from the studio.
Speaker 1: See we are in a dimly lit room deep from
Speaker 1: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound on
Speaker 1: Little Friday, and today we're.
Speaker 2: Under the tutelage of our general manager Trump. She deal
Speaker 2: makers or not.
Speaker 1: I meant to say that the compound now has We
Speaker 1: had to put up new fencing. We've got some now
Speaker 1: diseased monkey proof fencing because we had prepared fencing for
Speaker 1: all kinds of different situations, but we hadn't thought of
Speaker 1: diseased monkeys, so had to electrify.
Speaker 2: So Michael, don't brush up against the fence on your
Speaker 2: way in tomorrow.
Speaker 3: It's h it's like four hundred volts.
Speaker 1: Good to know Trump and g were our general manager.
Speaker 1: Trump announced how did the meeting go? After sitting down
Speaker 1: and talking to g for two hours, he said it
Speaker 1: is a twelve out of ten. Yes, it's how he
Speaker 1: announced the meeting that wrapped up not too long ago.
Speaker 3: More neutral observers, not quite as it's cheerful about twelve
Speaker 3: lot of test results, right, what do they know?
Speaker 2: Huh? What are they? What are they? What's what's the
Speaker 2: claim from so called neutral observers? What's the problem? Uh,
Speaker 2: hang on a second.
Speaker 1: Oh, for God's sake, I mean big, you know, the
Speaker 1: biggest story, I think to me, because you know this
Speaker 1: is my lane. Trump announcing We're going to resume nuclear
Speaker 1: weapons testing. Right, it's a pretty big deal, tit for
Speaker 1: tat with the Chinese and Russians nuclear tests?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Essentially, the claim by those who were critical of the
Speaker 3: meeting was that she walked away with what he wanted.
Speaker 3: Trump announced we got a great deal. It was a
Speaker 3: great meeting, but really got vague promises in return.
Speaker 2: Okay, so whatever.
Speaker 3: I have two very distinctly contrasting accounts of the meeting
Speaker 3: and its results. It just goes to show you the
Speaker 3: nature of journalism. Well yeah, okay, whatever, what a wastever
Speaker 3: he said? Was?
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's either true or one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty degrees opposite of what happened. And I haven't got
Speaker 1: the slightest idea And you can't tell from modern reporting
Speaker 1: when people hate Trump so much.
Speaker 3: So whatever, which is ironically exactly what Ishijin Ping and
Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin have been trying to do to our society.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point, but it's so frustrating. What's the point
Speaker 1: of even reading the newspaper to try to figure out
Speaker 1: what happened when there's.
Speaker 2: A decent chance that they're giving you one hundred and.
Speaker 3: Eighty degrees opposite of what occurred, right right, Well, it's
Speaker 3: interesting because I check in with the New York Times
Speaker 3: in particular and several other liberal outlets just to see
Speaker 3: what's being said, you know, what arguments will be answering
Speaker 3: that sort of thing, And increasingly lately I've come away
Speaker 3: jack Is, You've talked about this before, thinking, now I
Speaker 3: get why people have a completely wildly different version of
Speaker 3: what's happening in the world than a lot of us
Speaker 3: in conservative America. They never see the stories that we
Speaker 3: frequently think are important and the ones that both sides
Speaker 3: agree are important. They get a completely wildly different version
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, makes it tough.
Speaker 3: You can't hate people for trying to stay informed and
Speaker 3: just going to what they perceived to be solid news.
Speaker 2: Outlets that are just overwhelmingly lefties. So we'll try to
Speaker 2: wrestle that to the ground, although it will not be easy.
Speaker 1: This soon after the meeting happened to how things went
Speaker 1: with President she but Trump directs Pentagon to test nuclear weapons,
Speaker 1: and they announced that right before meeting with President g
Speaker 1: which I find interesting because since he said that right
Speaker 1: before walking into talk to the President of China, I
Speaker 1: would have thought it was mostly about China. But I
Speaker 1: was just listening to an interview with David Ignatius of
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, who's considered kind of the dean of
Speaker 1: that sort of thing with his contacts and the Pentagon
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and he said it was all about Russia,
Speaker 1: all about Russia, and Russia's big announcement over the weekend,
Speaker 1: which I mentioned earlier in the week that they had
Speaker 1: tested some sort of unstoppable delivery system and that perhaps
Speaker 1: Trump's were going to start testing is nuclear weapons?
Speaker 2: Is testing the delivery.
Speaker 1: Systems rather than, you know, set off a bomb somewhere
Speaker 1: to show that we got those.
Speaker 2: We have those, We have plenty of those.
Speaker 1: We have more than those than practically anybody. But the
Speaker 1: delivery system thing, that's a big deal. Because Russia claims
Speaker 1: they've got a new Nobody could stop it under any circumstances.
Speaker 1: Way to send a bomb around the world. Right, it's funny,
Speaker 1: that's an interesting topic. But I've always thought at the
Speaker 1: point that we're hurling nuclear ordinance.
Speaker 3: At each other, is some of it's going to get through,
Speaker 3: even like the old style missiles, some of it will
Speaker 3: get through.
Speaker 2: There are so many warheads. Boy, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think if it's true, I think it's a pretty
Speaker 1: big deal. If Russia could put a nuclear weapon into Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And we didn't even have a blip on
Speaker 1: a radar anywhere when it went off, I don't.
Speaker 3: See you could respond to that. Well, right, but again,
Speaker 3: and you're not wrong. It's a really it's something we
Speaker 3: need to deal with. But at the point the Russians
Speaker 3: take out DC with a nuclear bomb, it's nuclear holocaust.
Speaker 3: It's full on Planet of the Beaver's nuclear winner for
Speaker 3: the next five hundred years, disaster.
Speaker 2: I'll see you in heaven. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see your point, But yeah.
Speaker 2: That's a heck of a thing.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, so much for the peace dividend after
Speaker 1: the Cold War ended and all that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: the end of history and whatnot.
Speaker 2: Fools, we have the.
Speaker 1: US president talking about resuming nuclear testing, which we haven't
Speaker 1: tested any nuclear bombs since the early nineties, so it's
Speaker 1: been thirty plus years.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 3: I don't know how often you need to test nuclear
Speaker 3: weapons pertainly, don't.
Speaker 2: That's super familiar with that.
Speaker 1: That's why there's an assumption that he's talking about nuclear
Speaker 1: weapons delivery systems. But we'll look into that more later.
Speaker 1: Is he just announced that, you know, in a Trump
Speaker 1: sort of way. He just announced it out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: with no like briefing papers or nobody underneath him, perhaps
Speaker 1: even knowing he was going to say that.
Speaker 3: So right right, Yeah, well I have to ask my
Speaker 3: dad about that. That's what he did in the Air Force,
Speaker 3: was dealt with our nuclear arsenal. A lot of it's
Speaker 3: still I think classified, but sure, you know, I don't.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what his level of knowledge of
Speaker 3: the various things we've been talking about, Hey, Dad, how
Speaker 3: often you have to test nuclear weapons? He might be
Speaker 3: able to respond with like specific models of missiles and warheads,
Speaker 3: or he may say, I don't know, I was just
Speaker 3: keeping inventory.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I or you.
Speaker 3: Might answer me in a thick Russian accent, and the
Speaker 3: truth would finally emerge.
Speaker 2: Well, probably not.
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning with a pretty bad sore throat,
Speaker 1: and I thought, why do I have a sore throat?
Speaker 1: Sore throats worry me based on various diseases I've had
Speaker 1: throughout my life. Of course, sometimes it's just you know,
Speaker 1: you had the heater on too much last night and
Speaker 1: you laid on your back or.
Speaker 2: Something that goes away. But I was so I was.
Speaker 1: I'm walking out mount doing my evening walk, beautiful sunset,
Speaker 1: nice weather this time. I don't know if you're watching
Speaker 1: the World Series. Last time, it was ninety degrees at
Speaker 1: first Pitch in Los Angeles, ninety degrees, And I remember
Speaker 1: as a kid living in Wisconsin, where it was already,
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen degrees by the time you get to October,
Speaker 1: watching the World Series when it'd be the Dodgers, and
Speaker 1: thinking there are places in the United States where it's
Speaker 1: eighty five and sunny sorts as a kid, but anyway,
Speaker 1: it's ninety degrees. There's a nice evening in northern California too,
Speaker 1: and I'm walking run I see a monkey. It's got
Speaker 1: a couple of sore yeah, and it's its eyes are
Speaker 1: a little oozy, but I thought it looks so cute,
Speaker 1: so I pet it.
Speaker 2: It bites me a couple of times. You're a compassionate man. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I wake up with a sore throat and I hope
Speaker 2: it's not related. Huh oh, how are your glands a
Speaker 2: little swollen? Monkey sized?
Speaker 1: We do have an update on the diseased monkeys that
Speaker 1: can escape the other day.
Speaker 2: That's our favorite story. How can it know that's America's
Speaker 2: lead story? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: We've got diseased, wild, angry monkeys running around. The authorities
Speaker 3: warned us they may be aggressive toward human why because
Speaker 3: they've been jabbed with diseases for the last year or so.
Speaker 2: That had pissed me off.
Speaker 1: To see, what's there to be angry about. I was
Speaker 1: living in the jungle and I got captured and put
Speaker 1: in a cage and people started injecting me with diseases.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of pissed off right right here, little
Speaker 2: monkey here, little monkey. I was such a fool. I
Speaker 2: out for it. Oh god, oh my god.
Speaker 1: As we have an update on that story, that's absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1: And the shutdown rolls on into another day in the
Speaker 1: mainstream media, of course, making the biggest deal about the
Speaker 1: various food benefits that come to an end at the
Speaker 1: end of the month, which is rapidly approaching. Tomorrow is
Speaker 1: the thirtieth day, and trying to use that as a
Speaker 1: leverage point. Now, I don't I have no idea. The
Speaker 1: people I follow that I trust in politics say the
Speaker 1: polling is all over the place, and who's to blame.
Speaker 2: I was just watching MSNBC.
Speaker 1: They were claiming that most polls show the Republicans are
Speaker 1: being blamed.
Speaker 3: If that is because their messaging is D minus level
Speaker 3: communicating the American people, it is inexcusably bad.
Speaker 1: Republicans are horrible message messaging. But you're also up against
Speaker 1: all of the mainstream media trying to present it as
Speaker 1: the Republican's fault, so that makes it a little difficult.
Speaker 3: Also, oh yeah, one hundred percent. But that's why you've
Speaker 3: got to be good. That's the game we play on
Speaker 3: the right side of the aisle. Got to be sharp
Speaker 3: with your messaging.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought John Thune and the Republican leader of
Speaker 1: the Senate, was pretty good yesterday. I gave a pretty
Speaker 1: fiery speech. We'll play a little of that for you later,
Speaker 1: trying to make it clear that. Hey, we vote every
Speaker 1: single day, we vote to have the stuff continue.
Speaker 2: Everything be fine, all right, every day.
Speaker 3: And he's thirty five years younger than miss McConnell's, so
Speaker 3: that helps a little bit too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now we'll get to that coming up. Let's start
Speaker 1: the show officially before we get into trouble. I'm Jack Armstrong,
Speaker 1: He's Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, October, thirtieth
Speaker 1: day before Halloween, the.
Speaker 2: Year twenty twenty five or Armstrong and getting we approve
Speaker 2: of this program. Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3: En.
Speaker 2: All right, let's begin then officially.
Speaker 3: According to FCC Wolves Eggs, the show starts at mark
Speaker 3: He's he's.
Speaker 4: On the prow There an urgent surge to find three
Speaker 4: lab monkeys still on the loose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mar.
Speaker 4: The primates gave Tuesday afternoon when a trunk carrying them
Speaker 4: crashed on the interstate in Jasper.
Speaker 2: County, Mississippi.
Speaker 4: Tulane clarifying saying while they provide monkeys for research, the
Speaker 4: primates in question belonged to another entity and are not infectious.
Speaker 3: So yesterday it was one monkey, now it's three. What
Speaker 3: did they clone it? Did it have sex and have
Speaker 3: baby monkeys?
Speaker 2: No? Lie number one line number two.
Speaker 3: Oh, these monkeys are not infectious from our university running
Speaker 3: around biting people.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. I have two comments. One, do
Speaker 2: you believe? And you're a fool.
Speaker 1: We're into the second day of coverage and we're still
Speaker 1: relying on that tongueless gentleman to let us know what's happening.
Speaker 1: I can't believe we haven't gotten a better authority event.
Speaker 1: And secondly, basically their message was that's not our monkey,
Speaker 1: that's not my monkey, that's somebody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got diseased monkeys and undiseased ones. Yeah, these
Speaker 5: are the undiseased ones. Yeah, they're fine. Don't worry somebody
Speaker 5: else's or anything. Our monkeys weren't nearly that free, is
Speaker 5: I recall?
Speaker 2: Am I actually worried about this? No?
Speaker 1: But do I think a university would claim monkeys that
Speaker 1: have injected with all kinds of diseases aren't injected?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do think they would lie about that.
Speaker 3: Well, let me take a quick call hello Joe Hare, Yes,
Speaker 3: oh hi doctor Fauci. Yes, okay, all right, okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It turns out people lie about that sort of thing
Speaker 3: all the time. If they create a heinous disease that
Speaker 3: gets loose and killed lots of people. They pretend like
Speaker 3: it's a zero chats, that that's what happened, even though
Speaker 3: everybody can see that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Me with my sore throat. Why did I pet that monkey?
Speaker 1: I was there at the back of my mind. He say,
Speaker 1: don't pet it. Don't pet it. It just looks so sad,
Speaker 1: well because of its sores. Right, Yes, Okay, We've got
Speaker 1: Katie's headlines on the way, more news of the day
Speaker 1: on the big news day, so stay with us.
Speaker 2: While Joe tried to put a negative.
Speaker 1: Spin on Trump's meeting with President g I went to
Speaker 1: a couple of sources myself, who mostly say it's.
Speaker 2: Too early to tell.
Speaker 1: There's no way to know what the hell happened yet.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was one of the criticisms I think
Speaker 3: is that it's all fairly vague.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. It's early days. Let's find out.
Speaker 3: It's a complicated, complicated relationship, double complicated, all right, let's
Speaker 3: figure out who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie
Speaker 3: Green and Katie waiting for Jack's joke.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, I can't give a joke when I
Speaker 2: got a sore throat.
Speaker 6: After being attacked by the research jack all right, starting
Speaker 6: with the Washington Post. In South Korea, Trump secures a
Speaker 6: trade deal and a glittering crown, which I found hilarious
Speaker 6: in light of the no king's protests.
Speaker 2: That's why she did. It's funny. I'd forgotten about those
Speaker 2: protests already, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eh, you know, the biggest protest in US history
Speaker 1: saying you're a king and you go around the country
Speaker 1: people giving you.
Speaker 3: Crowns and chuckling about it. Yeah, that's you know, that's
Speaker 3: the way to deal with it, Honestly, silly.
Speaker 6: CNN Western Intelligence says Iran is re arming despite you
Speaker 6: and sanctions, along with China's help.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's second part.
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised Iran is attempting to rearm, although
Speaker 1: they got another bombing coming.
Speaker 2: But if China is helping him, that's something.
Speaker 3: And Trump is not going to sit still for that either.
Speaker 3: That would rouse his personal eyre.
Speaker 2: From Bloomberg.
Speaker 6: AI is all that matters right now.
Speaker 2: I want to get.
Speaker 1: Into that article in Bloomberg about how much of the economy,
Speaker 1: the stock market, all the good feelings out there are AI,
Speaker 1: and it's either a bubble or it ain't, but the
Speaker 1: numbers around it are incredible, just absolutely incredible. Tesla hit
Speaker 1: a near high yesterday, which I thought the bloom was
Speaker 1: off the rows on Tesla.
Speaker 2: But they're into the AI world though.
Speaker 3: Well, Nastacs just sky high, and that's just insanely high.
Speaker 6: From the New York Post, NFL Hall of Famer Antonio
Speaker 6: Gates allegedly hosted and played and rigged Miami poker game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this should be a big deal if it all
Speaker 1: gets nailed down as true big giant star.
Speaker 2: Beloved player for the Chargers, and if.
Speaker 1: He was in those games as the face and knew
Speaker 1: what was going on, I'd have some serious implications for
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 2: Hold on to your hats, guys. From Breitbart dot com,
Speaker 2: New York.
Speaker 6: City musical titled Slam Frank portrays Holocaust victim and Frank
Speaker 6: as a pan sexual Latina with a non binary lover.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, that's actually a conservative written parody of
Speaker 3: lefty lunacy. I've read some people say, oh my god,
Speaker 3: you've got to see it. It's the best thing ever,
Speaker 3: saying decent enough idea, but it doesn't quite land the beholder.
Speaker 3: But it's a parody, which is good and I love
Speaker 3: how over the top it is.
Speaker 1: Well and the fact that I couldn't obviously.
Speaker 2: Tell it was a parody shows you where we are
Speaker 2: now that could happen.
Speaker 6: Indeed, yes, daily mail flight delayed by more than four
Speaker 6: hours after the cabin crew starts to fight.
Speaker 2: Oh cool, I wonder what they were fighting about.
Speaker 6: It didn't give detail on that, which is irritating.
Speaker 2: Gotta be relationships, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking it wasn't a heavyweight about if you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, there's a lot of splat.
Speaker 3: Lap and scratching, hair pullings, no matter which sexes were
Speaker 3: involved in.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, study fines, junk food, fuels, one hundred
Speaker 6: or more gut changes that can tank your mood. Only
Speaker 6: exercise can fix them.
Speaker 2: Okay, I would like to read more about that. I
Speaker 2: don't want my mood tanked.
Speaker 6: And finally, from the Babylon Bee newsome Can continues to
Speaker 6: endanger the public by issuing drivers' licenses to women.
Speaker 2: Oh wow wow.
Speaker 1: Wait, now he's about to have a huge political win.
Speaker 2: We can talk about that coming up later.
Speaker 1: But you want to feel bad about things as an investor,
Speaker 1: Wait till I hit you with the numbers of what
Speaker 1: the stock market has done around AI that you missed
Speaker 1: the boat on probably no.
Speaker 2: Stop it Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: For the second time this year, the Federal Reserve now
Speaker 7: cutting interest rates by a quarter point that brings rates
Speaker 7: below four percent for the first time in three years.
Speaker 7: Economists point to inflation picking up and hiring that has slowed.
Speaker 7: FED chair Jerome Powell signaling a potential December rate cut
Speaker 7: quote is not a foregone conclusion, and.
Speaker 1: The markets dropped some on the idea that it's not
Speaker 1: given that there'll be a market or a interest rate
Speaker 1: cut in December. Anyway, it's down to the lowest in
Speaker 1: three years, and we'll see what that does to the
Speaker 1: housing market in particular, and anything.
Speaker 2: Else but.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg the business website speaking of Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg, which
Speaker 1: that website is named after, Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire who
Speaker 1: was New York mayor as a Republican and then an
Speaker 1: Independent and then was a ran for president as a Democrat.
Speaker 2: He's all over the place.
Speaker 1: He threw a million and a half dollars at the
Speaker 1: Cuomo campaign and yesterday, and the theory is that a
Speaker 1: guy like him he'd been on the sidelines for this
Speaker 1: whole mayoral race for some reason, which is interesting as
Speaker 1: a two time New York mayor that he hasn't gotten
Speaker 1: more involved, although he is one hundred and fifty years old.
Speaker 2: But he threw a million in all, probably out of
Speaker 2: disgust with the alternatives. Good point.
Speaker 1: He threw a million and a half dollars at Andrew Cuomo,
Speaker 1: and the theory is that he wouldn't be doing that
Speaker 1: if he didn't have some internal polloing that shows.
Speaker 2: There's some sort of shot for Cuomo to still win
Speaker 2: this thing. Excelseor I hear you, brother.
Speaker 3: The chorus of voices out in the last forty eight
Speaker 3: hours pointing out how dangerous and radical Mamdanni truly is
Speaker 3: is notable. I've got a bunch of examples of that
Speaker 3: in a little bit. But it's it's.
Speaker 2: Coming from a lot of different quarters. God, if you
Speaker 2: had just like.
Speaker 1: A regular old gray boring somebody wants to be mayor
Speaker 1: with no baggage, they would absolutely win. But because there's
Speaker 1: enough resistance to the Communists Israel hating Mamdani, but the
Speaker 1: backup plan is a scumbag.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it really is astonishing. It's an example or
Speaker 3: illustration of how mobbed up New York is, how crooked
Speaker 3: and mobbed up it all is. How is there not
Speaker 3: some you know, the vice mayor from the last competent mayor,
Speaker 3: you know some Bloomberg endorsed.
Speaker 2: Wall Street who's reasonable? How can that not happen? Anyway?
Speaker 1: So the interest rate cut and all that sort of stuff, Well, Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: the news website, the business news websites, their big headline.
Speaker 2: Is AI is all that matters right now.
Speaker 1: For all the headlines about the Fed and the trade
Speaker 1: deals and rate cuts, AI is still by far the
Speaker 1: dominant story in global markets.
Speaker 2: Here's a couple examples why.
Speaker 1: Despite the fact that the vast majority of people in
Speaker 1: market see a bubble around this AI stuff. So that
Speaker 1: is the zeitgeist right now, that this is a bubble,
Speaker 1: That's not a reason to be bearish right now, writes Bloomberg.
Speaker 1: The best way to make money and this is interesting
Speaker 1: and this is where all this is where the talent
Speaker 1: comes in, and I don't have it.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm going to stay on the sidelines probably.
Speaker 1: But the best way to make money and markets is
Speaker 1: to spot a bubble early and hop on board. As
Speaker 1: it inflates, and then obviously get out before it pops.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the hard part.
Speaker 1: How many people actually do that, get on at some
Speaker 1: point on the rise up knowing it's a bubble, get
Speaker 1: out on time. That's got to be a pretty small
Speaker 1: group of people. Well, there are ways to do that.
Speaker 3: You sell off a certain percentage, then you wait a
Speaker 3: few days, sell off another percentage, sell off another percentage.
Speaker 3: But it's hard to walk away from a slot machine, right,
Speaker 3: just pouring money.
Speaker 2: Right, let me give you the numbers here.
Speaker 1: I mean, I even if I had gotten in at
Speaker 1: a great level out I gotten out a long time ago.
Speaker 1: So Nvidio became the world's first five trillion dollar company yesterday.
Speaker 1: Tesla is getting close to a fresh all time high.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Magnificent seven index, that's the the big AI companies,
Speaker 1: the tech companies that are throwing heavily invested in AI
Speaker 1: right now is up twenty seven percent this year after
Speaker 1: jumping sixty seven percent in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, how are you a guy who.
Speaker 1: Doesn't get out after that and hangs on for this
Speaker 1: net twenty seven percent ride? And that was after more
Speaker 1: than doubling in twenty twenty three, i'd've.
Speaker 2: Gotten out then my money doubled. This has been a
Speaker 2: great ride.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's gonna pop soon, and I've gotten out
Speaker 1: two full years early, missed out on everything.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: I've had the conversation over and over with our main
Speaker 3: financial guy, this is crazy.
Speaker 2: This can't last. You know.
Speaker 3: That's what we said last year too, So maybe let's
Speaker 3: hang in that way. It just feels insane right now.
Speaker 2: Those of you who got in it, you know, and
Speaker 2: hung on.
Speaker 1: Up twenty seven percent this year for all your tech
Speaker 1: stocks after going up sixty seven percent the year before
Speaker 1: and doubling the year before that.
Speaker 2: That's one of the great rises in any particular.
Speaker 1: Thing ever moving up, which we may look back on
Speaker 1: this year's from now if AI becomes as dominant and
Speaker 1: big a deal as a lot of people claim it's
Speaker 1: going to be, and think, how did everybody.
Speaker 2: Not realize this?
Speaker 1: How did I not realize this and put all my
Speaker 1: money in the next big thing. It's like not recognizing
Speaker 1: that gas powered engines were going to be a thing
Speaker 1: or something right right, being the it'll never replace the
Speaker 1: horse voice of the twenty first century. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be that, Yeah, I came across and I can't
Speaker 1: decide whether to group this with AI stuff for medicine stuff,
Speaker 1: because I've got a lot of interesting information about well,
Speaker 1: it's not interesting as much as it's depressing about insurance
Speaker 1: cost and medical costs and how screwed up our system is.
Speaker 1: But the piece that Daniel Axt wrote was I finally
Speaker 1: have a physician who's available and who gets me meet
Speaker 1: doctor Grock. And this is not about like the you know,
Speaker 1: look at this diagnosis part of medicine. He's talking about
Speaker 1: how it's practically impossible to get him to get to
Speaker 1: see his primary care physician.
Speaker 2: So all he sees are special lists.
Speaker 3: Who are are tree doctors who can't see the forest,
Speaker 3: he says, And there's nobody to quarterback his care in general,
Speaker 3: to kind of coordinate it and be well the quarterback.
Speaker 2: And so he's started.
Speaker 3: He's healthy, a sixty nine year old guy, but he
Speaker 3: says he has various level low level chronic disorders. He says,
Speaker 3: I get most of my healthcare from constellations of a
Speaker 3: highly trained specialist. He's focused on his or her narrow
Speaker 3: realm rather than my overall health. Not only are these
Speaker 3: tree surgeons flying to the forest, but they're also overwhelmed
Speaker 3: with patients, which makes appointments scary, scarce and brief. Often
Speaker 3: during our fleeting time together, they're more focused on their
Speaker 3: computers than me.
Speaker 2: Always we're all familiar with that. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 3: At my last annual physical I told my primary care
Speaker 3: guy I desperately needed somebody to quarterback my care, but
Speaker 3: that it was nearly impossible to get in to see him.
Speaker 3: He said, quote, yes, it's like getting in an audience
Speaker 3: with the Pope.
Speaker 2: I can't quarterback anything.
Speaker 3: And and he gets into the fact that a blood
Speaker 3: test showed he had low iron, and one hurried physician
Speaker 3: sent me a message said, eat lentils, but I already
Speaker 3: eat lots of iron rich meat. Lentils contain non heme
Speaker 3: iron hemi iron, which is poorly absorbed unless accompanied by
Speaker 3: food containing vitamin C, all of which the physician left unset.
Speaker 2: I didn't know any of that. I'd have to look
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 3: Contrast his terse advice with what I got from groc
Speaker 3: My go to AI chatbot when I asked what I
Speaker 3: ought to eat if my iron levels are a little low.
Speaker 3: The response a model of clarity and nuance. Was immediate
Speaker 3: and free quote. To raise low iron levels, focus on
Speaker 3: iron rich foods and pair them strategically to boost absorption.
Speaker 3: It then listed foods that might help, starting with meats,
Speaker 3: followed by three helpful bullet points. Pair non hemi irons
Speaker 3: with vitamin C sources gives a bunch of examples to
Speaker 3: increase absorption. Avoid consuming calcium rich foods, dairy tea or
Speaker 3: coffee with iron rich meals as they can inhibit absorption.
Speaker 3: And cook and cast iron pants to add small amounts
Speaker 3: byron to food. Blah blah blah. Yeah a second, probably
Speaker 3: quite ready yet, but that could be the role of AI.
Speaker 3: It's like a supervising health quarterback.
Speaker 1: I know this is about AI and not about iron,
Speaker 1: But you want to raise your iron and you eat
Speaker 1: foods cooked in a cast iron pot because it picks
Speaker 1: up some of the iron.
Speaker 3: That's what it's said. Wow, I know, I know I
Speaker 3: had the same reaction. I'm like, really, how much? So
Speaker 3: you used to take in chunks of iron if your
Speaker 3: iron is low? Okay, how about I just you know,
Speaker 3: take some sandpaper and you know, get some good iron
Speaker 3: dust going and then just lap it up.
Speaker 1: If I go to home, deepot and get a bowl
Speaker 1: of bolts and I just sit and lick on them.
Speaker 2: During while I'm watching the World Series. Well, you kid,
Speaker 2: it's very relaxing. Yeah, low calorie. What'd you say, Michael?
Speaker 2: What do you Oh? My gosh.
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 1: It's good to be right now, Back to the AI
Speaker 1: aspect of the medical thing. The whole joke about you know,
Speaker 1: you look up your symptoms and give yourself Internet cancer.
Speaker 1: I've always found that funny because no matter if you
Speaker 1: just go with Google and you put in some symptoms,
Speaker 1: it tells you you got cancer and some sort it's
Speaker 1: useless information, and the doctors will warn you against it.
Speaker 1: But I could see how hold the whole Grock Gemini
Speaker 1: chat GPT, if you're somewhat specific, could be very damned handy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, in fact, that's basically what the doctors do,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Don't they They go into their their available information,
Speaker 1: and I've seen it myself where they read off their
Speaker 1: screen what they're being told.
Speaker 2: Well, Grock can do you the same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my primary care doc, who thank god, is really
Speaker 3: good and we can see although it's you know, it's
Speaker 3: not what it used to be, but yeah, he'll literally say,
Speaker 3: that's a great question. Let's take a look, and you
Speaker 3: know you'll look it up. Essentially that men do that
Speaker 3: for you. Cool. Croc explains everything and if something seems unclear,
Speaker 3: I can ask a question or get clarification and ask
Speaker 3: again and again. It never out of time or patience free. Testosterone,
Speaker 3: for instance, can be expressed in several different units of measure.
Speaker 3: Groc explained, this translated my numbers is needed. I was
Speaker 3: set for the test because I was feeling tired. Doctor's
Speaker 3: web portal showed the results is slightly low, but the
Speaker 3: reference range for all men was for all men rather
Speaker 3: than those pushing seventy. Also, I was tested in the afternoon,
Speaker 3: when testosterone is typically lower. Groc said that the test
Speaker 3: should have been done in the morning, which nobody even
Speaker 3: the lab told me. Allowing for my age and time
Speaker 3: of day, my results were just fine.
Speaker 2: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: And I know, Katie, you've talked a lot about how
Speaker 1: much AI's helped you with all your pregnancy stuff.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, And it's great because it just creates one
Speaker 6: conversation and I don't have to go in and re
Speaker 6: explain myself every time.
Speaker 2: It just picks up right where we left off.
Speaker 1: That's one of the best things I like about the
Speaker 1: whole AI thing is you can just join back in
Speaker 1: the conversation like as a doctor or a friend, as
Speaker 1: opposed to starting from scratch every single time and you
Speaker 1: google it.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the other day. The other day, I said,
Speaker 6: I feel like crap. That was all I typed in,
Speaker 6: and it said, well, you're this far into your medication
Speaker 6: and this far.
Speaker 2: Along and this is why you don't feel well. I
Speaker 2: was like, this is wonderful. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The obligatory note of caution. This guy was trading stories
Speaker 3: with a buddy of his and his friends says, it
Speaker 3: has made two big mistakes with me, And when I
Speaker 3: challenged it, it said, you're right, and thanks for calling
Speaker 3: me out. But they were both kind of worrisome and
Speaker 3: made me at least somewhat more cautious.
Speaker 1: Is there a decent chance you type in your symptoms
Speaker 1: and chat GPT says, I think you should just kill yourself.
Speaker 2: That's what you should do now.
Speaker 3: It usually takes a while before it tells like a
Speaker 3: troubled teenager to off themselves.
Speaker 1: But yeah it works. You there, God, what is the
Speaker 1: stat I saw yesterday? I'll look it up on how
Speaker 1: many tens of thousands of people have been going to
Speaker 1: chat GPT and specific about wanting to kill themselves. I
Speaker 1: mean it's a common problem now, wow, social contagion probably, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: to some extent at least.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, we got mail bag on the way, lots
Speaker 2: of stuff. Stay here, I found the numbers what I
Speaker 2: was just talking about.
Speaker 1: Chat GPT says more than a million people every week
Speaker 1: are showing suicidal ideation that would be intent or planning.
Speaker 1: Now they are also being sued by the family of
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old went ahead and killed themselves because
Speaker 1: chat GPT told the kid that's what he should do.
Speaker 1: So they're probably trying to make it seem like, you know,
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do? This is such a
Speaker 1: common thing. But that's interesting if true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd say so. Yeah, let's talk about that
Speaker 3: more a little bit later. Here's your Freedom Love med
Speaker 3: quote of the day. It's sent along by Pawlow quoting
Speaker 3: John Adams. Papa, our constitution was made only for a
Speaker 3: moral and religious people. We have no government armed with
Speaker 3: power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality
Speaker 3: and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the
Speaker 3: strongest courts of our constitution. As a whale goes through
Speaker 3: the through a net. Our constitution was made only for
Speaker 3: a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
Speaker 3: the government of any other doomed mail bag.
Speaker 1: It reminds me We've got a new slogan, Starve the Lazy,
Speaker 1: Starve the Lazy.
Speaker 3: We're working on the T shirt slash hoodie slash hat
Speaker 3: design for the Armstrong and Armstrong and Getty Starved the
Speaker 3: Lazy campaign.
Speaker 2: Very excited about this.
Speaker 3: More on that no moment drop us a note mail
Speaker 3: bag at armstrong he Getty dot com. Nice note from
Speaker 3: Barry in Thailand, who is frequently hear from. He says,
Speaker 3: My nine year old grandson, who lives with us in Thailand, came.
Speaker 2: Up to me today. I asked, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 3: He replied six seven and laughed and ran away, left
Speaker 3: me speechless. That's in Thailand, tired of humanity.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's see.
Speaker 3: On the topic of starving the lazy and capitalism.
Speaker 2: Uh, let's see.
Speaker 3: Curtis writes, my father taught us economics, so one of
Speaker 3: eight it's my father went to the third grade, started
Speaker 3: making money at eight years old selling cold pop dish
Speaker 3: shops in town, using a wagon with a free shaved
Speaker 3: dice kit keeping things cold.
Speaker 2: In nineteen twenty six.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Then he owned three dump trucks.
Speaker 3: Working on Route sixty six at age thirteen, hamburger stand
Speaker 3: in Clinton, Oklahoma. At sixteen, he died with much rental income.
Speaker 3: Of my seven siblings, five of us own businesses. We're
Speaker 3: all very wealthy, et cetera, et cetera. We started in
Speaker 3: real Lida. Still listening from Middle Tennessee. It's culture. There
Speaker 3: is a culture of success that some families and some
Speaker 3: people have. There's a culture of dependence. It's absolutely clear.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, you're from California, but you moved to Tennessee.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard of such a thing.
Speaker 2: That's weird. Let's see, Moving along, Mark writes.
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom said, the hunger is the point that may
Speaker 3: be correct, except it's the Democratic position, not the Republican position.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's encouraging people to be in poverty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Republicans are not making a good work of making
Speaker 1: that clear to people.
Speaker 2: All right, Oh, out of order?
Speaker 3: Stand bye, got of it, mornan Jack and Joe writes
Speaker 3: Mary in the Home. Shout out Mary, longtime listener, very
Speaker 3: helpful compiles our end of the year lists for us,
Speaker 3: just out of love and kindness. Thank you Mary anyway,
Speaker 3: she says to the anti work idiots on Reddit who
Speaker 3: said everything everyone should have free shelter, food, and water.
Speaker 3: You're on, bro. Here's your tenth for your shelter. Here
Speaker 3: are your seeds so you can grow your own food.
Speaker 3: Here's your spot down by the river. A filter for
Speaker 3: your water so you have something to drink. Oh sorry,
Speaker 3: there's no money for your cell phone or anything else
Speaker 3: for that matter. No electricity, no clothing, no bedding, certainly
Speaker 3: no food stamps or anything else for that matter. This
Speaker 3: is all you want. Go ahead and take it. That's it,
Speaker 3: that's what you wanted. Perfect, that's all you get here.
Speaker 3: You go happy to help now scram resist.
Speaker 2: Me much Marry in the Home. I love you, Mary.
Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome boy. A lot of people commenting on
Speaker 3: Bill Gates about face. Bill Gates writes, there and old
Speaker 3: global warming Bill Gates, the one that claims he's trying
Speaker 3: to help save the world, yet whose own company is
Speaker 3: stating for security reasons they're forcing Windows update that requires
Speaker 3: a certain chepst which sending over two hundred million perfectly
Speaker 3: good computers to the eWays dumpsters due to the incompatibility.
Speaker 1: That guy, great guy Lol. Then Bill, Steve Gilaine Maxwell
Speaker 1: says hey.
Speaker 3: Then Steve writes, get ready for the wave of influential
Speaker 3: people to soften their opinion on climate change, not because
Speaker 3: of some epiphany about how to attack this existential threat
Speaker 3: to all of mankind, as mister Gates has suggested. Bill
Speaker 3: is in the computing business. AI is the focus of
Speaker 3: his motives. Supercomputer data centers are growing fast and they
Speaker 3: gobble up electricity faster than the cities. Green energy can't
Speaker 3: keep up with the demands of AI. Bill needs power
Speaker 3: for his investments, simple as that.
Speaker 1: He could also also could be you know, reality hitting
Speaker 1: him with this, and this was the way into the reality.
Speaker 2: But that all makes sense.
Speaker 3: Well it does, and you're probably right, Steve, But he
Speaker 3: used to be wrong and what he's saying now is right.
Speaker 3: So isn't it least conceivable that he just realized that Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like the dark motives idea better.
Speaker 3: Got some good emails on the difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Speaker 2: Being proud of the country. We can get to it
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Even The New York Times says kjp's book tour is
Speaker 1: a train wreck. I can't believe the New York Times
Speaker 1: had such a negative review of what she's doing, So
Speaker 1: we'll have to get at that at some point too.
