Oh that's right, they aren't. Okay, sorry, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:00.440 I'm spoke. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.760 Before we get to that. I've got so many things 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.640 to say about that. Did anybody beat me? And did 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.280 anybody beat me? In weight gain? 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.040 Since we were last on the air. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:11.160 I'm not me. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.119 I am a full three and a half. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.160 It comes three and a half pounds heavier than I 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.080 was when I last joined you. There's more of me 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.600 to love, is the way I look at it. Pretty good, 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.880 pretty respected. Yeah, how three and a half pounds in 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.440 a week is not bad. But like Wall Street, you'd 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:27.840 failed to meet expectations. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.480 I thought I was gonna hear five honestly, little disappointment 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:31.880 on the. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:38.200 Road travel failed to meet expectations. Your earnings were excellent, 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.200 but failed. The good thing is that even though I 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.560 was at Arrowhead Stadium on a cold winter day Friday 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.440 for the Chiefs Raiders game, it's colder in the studio 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.840 right now than it was there, so hopefully it will 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.800 burn off some of these pounds. Trying to stay alive. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:55.560 Anyway. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.360 Yeah, three and a half pounds. My PI can feel it. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.720 My pants are tighter. Yeah, I got the whole thing going. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.320 That's a good start, though, that's a good start. I 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.560 got several weeks now before Christmas and then a week 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.440 in between New Year. I mean, I really I could 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.600 hit double digits. I could easily gain ten pounds, So 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:11.280 that's not the goal. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:16.800 But well, in a shocking revelation, I am down a 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.920 pound and a half, which means either my practice of 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.720 eating my big meal in the middle of the day 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.960 and that are very light dinners paying off, or I'm 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.200 dying because I don't quite get how I'm down, but 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:28.720 I'm down. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.679 I don't want to have the darkest joke of all time, 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.200 but there was a time when I thought, wow, I 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.720 am really doing well with this that Oh I have cancer. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.600 Oh okay, that's why the way it's just melting away. Yeah, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.160 let's hope it's not that. Let's hope it does exercised 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.960 a lot. So back to Hunter Biden. So you're telling 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:51.480 me that the party of the rich get away, particularly 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.520 white males. I mean, it's the rich in general that 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.160 get to abuse the system with all kinds of different 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.480 ways and don't pay their taxes. And then guns, Oh 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.440 my god, nobody should even be allowed to have a gun. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.440 But then the people breaking the lava gun. You're telling 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:10.800 me the party of that just the president just pardoned 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.560 a rich white guy so he doesn't go to jail 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.960 over tax evasion because he was getting so rich, probably illegally, 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.560 but in regard no conspiratory he didn't pay his taxes. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.520 He gets pardoned and doesn't have to pay a price 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.960 for it, And you're gonna you were going to campaign 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.080 on the rich don't pay their fair share, and then 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.479 when what you want of your own rich and again 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.239 white guys does it, he gets pardoned by the President. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:40.080 That's freaking, freaking unbelievable. Well, it's the truth laid there. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.600 I mean, on the rank and file level of the 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:47.200 college kids and the over educated gender studies, suburban moms 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:52.039 who vote Democrats, they're sincere. They're deluded and dopey, but 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.400 they're sincere. On the elite level, not a single word 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.279 of that is sincere not a word. It's merely a brand. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:07.560 It means as much as always Coca cola? Does that 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.679 mean how about sometimes Coca cola? 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:10.039 No? 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.440 No, always? So does that mean that for the rest 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.919 of my life? When I hear a Democrat saying the 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.240 rich don't pay their fair share? 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.520 Why other rich gonna except for Honor Biden? 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.680 Can we just chant that back at whoever's giving us 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.919 the rich don't pay their fair share next time for 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.560 Hunter Biden. That would be delightful. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.400 Yeah, it's sort of like I've been saying. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.240 I'm happy that an entire new generation of young people 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.160 coming out of the presidential election learned that, oh, it's 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.880 all phony, since they went on and on about it 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.920 was Hitler, and then as soon as he wins, they're like, oh, well, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.400 we'll get him next time and let's go down there 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.320 and visit him. So okay, So you're just lying to 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.400 me about the Hitler stuff. And then this another generation 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.039 will think, oh, okay, they're all hypocrites. The rich don't 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.240 pay their fair share. And when our guys who's rich, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.200 really rich, whole family is rich, doesn't pay his taxes, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.120 pays zero taxes, not only isn't paying a high enough 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.520 tax rate, doesn't pay any taxes, we pardon him. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.280 And despite Joe Biden's claims that it was all about 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.560 addiction and a bad habit and all, he signed all 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.120 of those tax returns post sobriety, okay, worth mentioning. 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.240 So to me, this is I didn't realize it. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.240 You know what, JT and Livermore, maybe a matthe Idaho farmhand, Jeff, 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.880 some of our Jeff the honorary producer. I need you 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.520 to remind me of this regularly place or maybe my 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.360 wife can do it. I need to gamble on politics. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.760 I was dead certain he would pardon Hunter. I didn't 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.919 even have any doubt, no doubt. This is the absolute 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.960 definition of shocking yet unsurprising. It was a certainty, and 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.800 I need to start profiting from that. But it is 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.320 also and I'm heartened somewhat by the fact that the 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:56.280 truce will. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:57.599 Absolutely come out at some point. 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.640 It's not all about electoral cycles and and momentary political gains. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.520 I think historians will dig their teeth into this. Joe 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:10.840 Biden's serial liar and money launderer will be exposed eventually 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.960 as one of the most corrupt presidents in American history. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.520 It'll be eventually he'll be long, cold and dead in 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.040 the grave, But yeah, soon enough. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.200 Is there anybody who wouldn't pardon their own kid if 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.120 they had the chances they were heading out the door 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.880 for the offenses before us. Specifically, if you assumed, as 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.160 he does, that your kid had their act together. Now, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.920 it'd be pretty hard to not pardon mem go with 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.040 the you know what, tough love. Everybody has to blah 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.360 blah blah. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.040 It's my kid. Everybody's going to be mad. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.200 But I can let him get on with his life, 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.400 or he can go to prison for maybe the rest 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.400 of his life. I mean, he's in his mid fifties. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.200 If he gets fifteen twenty years, that could be the 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.960 rest of your life. I'm Joe Biden. I'm about dead. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.400 I'm thinking to Hella, Oh you're mad at me. Okay, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.120 you know what. I'm going to be dead soon, so 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.960 don't worry about it. Yeah, I could see No, if 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.240 you know, God forbids somebody's kid like axe murdered eleven 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.960 people or something like that. No, no, I wouldn't pardon them. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:14.120 But yeah, it's it's it's hypocrisy laid there. It's practically 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.680 a guilty plead of money laundering in my mind. Oh yeah, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.560 that's interesting. I don't remember Jonathan Earli or somebody I 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.800 heard say there's practically an admission here that there are 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.360 more things we don't know about that he hasn't been. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.600 Charged with that are out there. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.160 If you're going with the whole, not specific to these 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.400 you know charges, you're going just any and everything for 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.000 ten years, right right, Well, there are a couple of 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.960 reasons he played guilty eventually. Number one, he was guilty 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.280 as sixteen dogs, as hunter Thompson would have put it. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.040 And secondly, to put this all on trial, you get 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.079 into where did the money come from and where did 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.280 it go, which is what I was hankering for the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.720 whole time. Yeah, and he does get to go with 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.280 the uh who what father wouldn't pardon their son and 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.400 ignore the fact that it was going to bring down 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:02.240 the whole family. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.200 Then final brief irony, and I will read you the 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.800 utterly vomit inducing letter of pardon from the President in 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.560 a minute. But the fact that a couple of Trump 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:18.920 aids got charged with the operating is undeclared unlicensed lobbyists 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:23.560 for foreign powers during the Russian collusion hoax, and Hunter 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.599 labored for millions of dollars for a variety of loathsome 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.760 foreign regimes and was clearly lobbying for them. But he 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.959 doesn't get so much as a traffic ticket for it. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.240 And then the great irony, sorry, the sickening irony and 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.280 the letter of pardon is that is that Biden makes 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.839 it clear that his son's been treated unfairly. This is 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.520 gotten noney, even treatment he'd been treated more harshly than. 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:54.599 Anyone else would have without his name. It's absurd yeah, yeah, 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.720 one sentence on that. But after we start the show 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.720 officially so we don't get in trouble with the FCC. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.240 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty, that Tell guy or 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.599 whatever his name is, Kutel. You know he and some 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.560 charge the FBI. We're not starting our show in time. 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.360 We could end up in prison. You don't know the retribution. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.000 I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday, 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.000 brand new month, ran his dude, December second, my mom's birthday, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.600 the year twenty twenty four. We are Armstrong in Getty 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.800 and we approve of this program. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.920 All let's begin officially now according to FCC rules and regulations. 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.400 Leaping into action at Mark, Have you. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.880 Ruled out a pardon for your son? Yes, but the 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.720 commute his. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.480 Son, I was very clear and I said no. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.680 I've been very clear. The President has been very clear 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.120 when we've been asked us question, and he. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.280 Said he would not pardon his son. Always made up. 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:38.079 It's still a no. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.720 It will be a no. It is a no. And 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.000 I don't have anything else to add. Will he pardon 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:43.440 his son? 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:43.720 No? 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.480 Breaking news tonight. 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.120 President Biden has made a decision to pardon his son Hunter. 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.800 Okay, so's going to read from Biden's letter, But including 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.960 that letter, Biden talks about how politics corrupted the justice system. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.839 Oh wit a second, that's interesting. So Trump's bringing all 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.760 these people in saying you got to clean out the 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.280 justice department because it's been corrupted, corrupted by politics. Oh no, no, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.320 you all been claiming he's a fascist for one to 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:17.840 do that. Now you say Hunter Biden wrongly attacked because 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.720 politics corrupted the justice department? How are you gonna square 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.840 that circle?

We got everything for you, plus all 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.000 the news of the day. Naturally, here's your freedom loving 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.680 quote of the day. It comes from Henry Brooks Adams, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.400 an American historian, a member of the Adams political family, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.199 descended from q US presidents. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.360 Oh yeah, quinc Yeah, the right of some people will 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.679 say the best nonfiction book of the twentieth century, The 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.600 Education of Henry Adams, which he wrote himself. Excellent. So 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.960 here is his quote as I click back. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.480 To that chaos was the law of nature, order was 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:20.200 the dream of man. Yet another reminder that the natural 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:29.679 state of everything is chaos and decay and violence. Order compassionate, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.720 of course, order that respects the human rights. It's a miracle. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:39.080 Don't give it away, Mailbag. You can write us a note, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.640 would you? Mailbag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Gary Musquite, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.040 Nevada writes, and I agree, obviously, proving what we already know, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.760 Biden is the most corrupt president in our history. When 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.600 the stories come out over the next several years, his 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.079 name will be synonymous with the worst and most corrupt. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.240 Let's see, this is John Obviously Hunter made a deal 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.240 with his dad. Daddy promised to pardon if you would 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.320 plead guilty to tax charges, then Joe would avoid accountability 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.480 for receiving ten percent of the dirty millions. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:06.480 Let's go, Brandon. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:07.600 We got this text. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.319 I think I've seen this in a couple of lames. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.480 So Joe Biden pardoned three turkeys. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.040 Hauh, what I got it? That's kind of an old 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:19.560 timey con there, you're a loser. Calling somebody a turkey 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:26.840 not exactly modern insult. Yeah, that's rather mild by today's standards. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.080 Let's see. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.280 This is from jishn Wright's Glad you lazy bastards are 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:31.880 back to work. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:32.280 Ah. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.680 I've read multiple articles now in regard to Trump's appointees. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.680 They all talk about how these people are going to 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.960 bring a campaign of retribution. But they failed to tell 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.280 me what the retribution is for. If I'm seeking retribution 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.320 because it's someone has wronged me, are they saying he 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:47.960 was wronged? 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:49.040 Oh? 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.320 If I'm seeking retribution it's because someone has wronged me. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.560 Are they saying he was wronged and is now going 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.360 to seek retribution. Well, if he was wronged, why shouldn't 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.960 he seek retribution? Get these people out of government. Please 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.160 tell me what the retribution is for. Maybe he should 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:02.920 be seeking it. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.640 Yeah. The New York Times writes about that today. We'll 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.600 talk about that later. There's a paragraph in there that 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.160 says this is going to make it more difficult for 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.920 Democrats to complain about Donald Trump going after the Justice Department, 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:19.000 since the current Democratic president just said the Justice Department 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.880 has been doing things for political reasons. 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.240 All right, In cash Patel, who's been nominated to run 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:26.760 the FBI. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.240 Very controversial choice. We'll talk about that some. He will 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.080 just quote Jo. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:36.920 Widen please you wrote him hisistimony, right right, A total 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:37.640 change of topic. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:38.080 I'd like this. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.080 David and Umquah, a beautiful organ who's supplied to a 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.160 number of interesting things about education. Parents write to know 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:50.000 solution to teachers grooming children and doctrinating them, sexualizing them, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.800 and man, we have stories about all that stuff in 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.880 different ways. The cure for that is parents' access to classrooms, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.720 video proof, real time proof of what school are teaching. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:07.960 Government teachers need to be monitored by parents. Should the 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:14.400 government schools be operating without scrutiny? I mean, I realized 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.520 there are children involved, and you can't, you know, have 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.520 generally available videotapes of children doing stuff. It's just it's 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:27.880 full of problems. But our justice system famously is absolutely 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:34.280 ironclad in its openness. Everything happens in front of the people, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.200 and you're judged by a jury of your peers. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.920 Why wouldn't your schools. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.440 Are a darklyistered environment where are secrets unfolded. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.760 Why wouldn't you have a nannycam in every classroom? You 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.760 can just log on and seeing what's going on in 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.720 your kid's class. Why wouldn't it be that way? 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.360 I get the logistical problems in the modern age, teachers 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.600 would go viral and like the so called Karen who 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.280 had a legitimate complaint or it was out of context 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.200 or whatever, all of a sudden, they'd be and doxed 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.560 and terrified or whatever. 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.440 I don't know. Maybe it would it's a conundry. Maybe 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.520 it would protect you as a teacher if everybody got 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:11.120 to see how unruly students are out of control. Blah 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:11.520 blah blah. 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:11.840 I don't know. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.480 The other to absolutely be an upside, that's an interesting question. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:16.920 We've got a lot of news to catch up on. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:18.479 We've been gone for a week. Stay with us if 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.000 you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.240 On demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.000 I have to mention the most embarrassing part of the 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.439 whole milkshake fiasco that probably helped me gain. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:30.840 Three and a half pounds over the last week. I'll 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:31.800 get to that in a minute. 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.320 Uh, Joe is going to read from Joe Biden's letter 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.360 explaining his pardon, in which he is getting beaten up 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.280 by lots of people on the left also on how 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.000 this opens the door for Trump and a lot of 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.000 arguments that Trump makes, So we'll get to. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.080 That coming up a little bit later. 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.400 I can't believe we're a half hour into the show 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:56.120 and we haven't mentioned cyber Monday. Everybody, It's cyber Monday. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.320 But I don't know if we need that sound hopefully 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.879 he's lost his mind. That seems like an odd sound 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.000 for cyber Monday. It's like, oh, is that a warning? 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.119 It's like when there's a tornado or a train coming 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.840 or something. Uh, it's cyber Monday's ever been very stressed today? 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.760 Cyber Monday. Up, It's cyber Monday. Of course this follows 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.320 Black Friday. Yes, Michael, I'm surprised we're not running best 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.479 of I thought cyber Monday we'd be off to Why 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:25.000 aren't we home holding our children and singing cyber Monday songs? Well, 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.399 because cyber Monday is when you buy a lot of 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.919 stuff online at work, because you have a faster internet 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.600 connection at work than you do at home. Heading back 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:37.800 to nineteen eighty nine, cyber Monday stopping. 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:37.520 So. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.800 I just wanted to mention this relating to I went 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:49.320 to an outlet mall yesterday and I was so frustrated. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.639 There was not a parking spot anywhere. There were just 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:58.200 cars circling around this gigantic place, everybody frustrated, so many 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.040 people walking you could barely draw. I have never in 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.360 my life, I've been going to this same giant outlet 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.439 mall for twenty five years, never seen a crowd like this, 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.000 even close yesterday afternoon. So I mean that is as 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.400 anecdotal as anecdotal evidence can get about where people are 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.439 with shopping and consumer confidence and all that sort of stuff. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:24.399 But it was nuts, absolutely nuts, And all the stories 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:25.560 in there, I said, has it been like this the 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.439 whole weekend? When I finally got the park and go in, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.959 So oh yeah, it's been crazy Friday, Saturday and today 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:31.960 just crazy. 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.320 So I don't know, I don't know. I don't know 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:34.879 what's happening. 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.959 You know, Black Friday, the name of it is ridiculous, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.040 but it is a time. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.879 It's the first time that kmart goes into the black 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.399 for the year because so many people got in shop 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:46.360 after Thanksgiving. 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.960 But you know, after Thanksgiving you do think start thinking 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.080 about Christmas shopping and the rest of it. But as 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.760 an informal measure, Black Friday sales were up significantly from 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:02.080 last year. So boys, trying to get your wrap your 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.960 arms around this economy and who it's good for and 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:07.919 who it's not for. It's it's definitely not a simple picture. No. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.920 I was watching all this and thinking about all those 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.080 stats we've heard about people have run out of money 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.600 and they've maxed out their credit cards, and thinking, so, 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:17.280 did you open a new credit card? Did you get 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:19.800 a raise? I mean, is what is going on with everybody? 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.399 But I mean, it's just nuts. I didn't declare to 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.520 my kids this is the last time I will be 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.320 at a retail outlet until January. I will not do 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.880 that under any circumstances. Again, it was miserable, Absolutely miserable. 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.320 Oh yeah, yeah, I have no doubt whatsoever. But that's 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:40.280 consumer spending is two thirds of the economy, So that's 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:44.040 good for the economy. Although if everybody's putting on their 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.159 credit cards and can't actually afford it, it's not so. 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.760 I don't have any idea. 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.960 I read a pretty detailed and persuasive account a few 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.040 weeks ago from the Wall Streets Journal that said, there's 0:20:55.080 --> 0:21:01.000 a real demarcation between homeowners and owners of stocks and 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.440
