Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Jettie and he arm get It's fine Yay live from studio.
Speaker 2: CE sees in your hang Jim let llam deeper in
Speaker 2: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getdy Communications compound. Hey,
Speaker 2: y'all heading into the weekend, runder the tutelage of our
Speaker 2: general manager.
Speaker 1: Don't really feel strongly about anything could go with pennies
Speaker 1: are coming to an end as a part of American life,
Speaker 1: or Chinese drones which they're way too many of. Was
Speaker 1: just reading about that where the stock market was took
Speaker 1: quite a dump yesterday and might be an indication of
Speaker 1: something huge. Who knows, Michael, where's our sound? Where's our
Speaker 1: stock market sound? Remember Michael's very very busy. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: our old producer Scott decided to no, no, no, no, no. Sean,
Speaker 1: our old producer Sean decided he needed to get really
Speaker 1: educated about the stock market, and he did, which was
Speaker 1: an admirable He just likes a grown man. He decided,
Speaker 1: here's something I'm going to get really interested in it,
Speaker 1: and he did a lot of studying and everything like that,
Speaker 1: but he pointed out, and I'd never noticed it before,
Speaker 1: but once he pointed it out, I have never been
Speaker 1: able to stop thinking about it. In that all your
Speaker 1: economic report reporting says as, they don't say because they
Speaker 1: just say as, So my first is appropriate, yeah, because
Speaker 1: they don't have any idea what they're talking about, their guessing.
Speaker 1: So my first as I had yesterday that I saw
Speaker 1: was a stock market, big giant drop yesterday by the
Speaker 1: nip by the nip, as uh investors realize AI ain't
Speaker 1: going to turn out to be what they thought it was,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, okay, it's the AI bubble crashing.
Speaker 1: So that was just in my head. Then this morning
Speaker 1: I saw stock market dropped a lot yesterday as the
Speaker 1: FED announced they may not lower interest rates. No, that's it, okay,
Speaker 1: when they said they were going to drag it the
Speaker 1: mono cause I can't, So they don't have the this
Speaker 1: happened because they can't say it is because of this,
Speaker 1: because nobody knows. It's way too complex, so they always
Speaker 1: throw it an ass. And then it kind of goes
Speaker 1: into your head as because sure and once you catch causation,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Yeah, once you catch on to that, you
Speaker 1: notice they do it all the time, and they're just guessing.
Speaker 1: They're absolutely guessing. Obviously, those are two very different stories,
Speaker 1: whether AI is not all cracked what it's cracked up
Speaker 1: to be, or the whole interest rate thing. But man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've studied the stock exchange, but
Speaker 1: there are lots of different stocks and they respond to
Speaker 1: different things at different times. So yeah, it's it's much
Speaker 1: more complex and subtle than added ainstream media would have it.
Speaker 1: Added in with the fact that it's mostly computers trading
Speaker 1: now gazillions of decisions per half a second and reacting
Speaker 1: to each other and everything like that, and it's really
Speaker 1: hard to figure out what's going on. But in video,
Speaker 1: the big AI chip maker has had quite a drop
Speaker 1: from their high. Yeah, and who knows if that will
Speaker 1: bounce back or not. And the whole is AI, the
Speaker 1: AI thing gonna bul If that bubble breaks, there won't
Speaker 1: be an ass as this happens or as that It'll
Speaker 1: all be holy crap, the world has changed quite a
Speaker 1: bit because the stock market is built on AI right now,
Speaker 1: right there it is, there's our stock market sounds that's
Speaker 1: the one I was looking for Ah, well, bubble, was
Speaker 1: that a bubble? I think people are starting to reckon
Speaker 1: with the spectacular obligations or commitments. I should say that
Speaker 1: the various tech companies are making towards spending incomprehensible amounts
Speaker 1: of money more and more each year over the next
Speaker 1: several years, and people are starting to think, you know,
Speaker 1: I make a lot of money on this stock already,
Speaker 1: and that sounds crazy. It might be like crazy great,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely crazy. So I think I'll unload these stocks.
Speaker 1: The Trump administration huge push the last couple of days
Speaker 1: to make it sound like they're super concerned about affordability.
Speaker 1: I since everybody's decided that's the topic for the voting
Speaker 1: populace is affordability. And JD. Vance's out giving speecheses yes
Speaker 1: day and everything like that. And so I was just
Speaker 1: reading a newsletter that was including a bunch of regular
Speaker 1: people talking about how much more things cost and comparing
Speaker 1: their grocery bill now to five years ago and all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. But the one thing a couple
Speaker 1: mentioned that they said they can't that really makes the difference.
Speaker 1: That was interesting, like one person saying, Okay, we make
Speaker 1: up for the groceries, like we've quit going to Starbucks,
Speaker 1: and we canceled one of our streaming subscriptions, and you know,
Speaker 1: kind of evens out. But the thing that is killing
Speaker 1: them is homeowner's insurance going up. Car insurance going up
Speaker 1: as much as it has. And that is true, man,
Speaker 1: that is a chunk of money. Oh yeah, whoah, many
Speaker 1: many times, well maybe not many times, but a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot more than the rate of inflation, especially
Speaker 1: over the last five years. Yeah, skyrocketing. And then add
Speaker 1: to that medical costs, none of which are you know,
Speaker 1: your two be subscription whatever that is. It keeps jumping
Speaker 1: up on my TV trying to get me to subscribe.
Speaker 1: Those are obligations. You legally can't not have a couple
Speaker 1: of those, Yeah, exactly. You can cut back, you can
Speaker 1: change a way by groceries, you can eat different things, whatever,
Speaker 1: But if you got to drive a car, your car
Speaker 1: insurance going way up. Yeah, is a lot. And how
Speaker 1: come I haven't heard any politicians bring that up. I
Speaker 1: constantly hear about the price of eggs, but not the
Speaker 1: price of insuring my twenty fifteen Honda Accord that is
Speaker 1: tripled or whatever it has as in the last several years. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I tell you what. I get tired and discouraged even
Speaker 1: thinking about this because the insurance industry is a lot
Speaker 1: like the medical field, as described by Stephen Brill in
Speaker 1: his brilliant book Bitter Pill, which came out. Gosh, I
Speaker 1: was at least a decade ago, now, wasn't it. Maybe
Speaker 1: even more I think more than yeah. But he said,
Speaker 1: the government is not involved where it's bitterly needed, and
Speaker 1: is overly involved where it shouldn't be. If I had
Speaker 1: to go back in time to when I was, you know,
Speaker 1: we were early in our careers and I didn't make
Speaker 1: that much money, my biggest the thing that would be
Speaker 1: hardest to adjust to would be the insurance thing. And
Speaker 1: I have to drive a completely different vehicle than I
Speaker 1: drove at the time. You have to go older and
Speaker 1: cheaper and less insurance to be able to afford it. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a problem. I don't know what's going to be
Speaker 1: done about that. The whole affordability thing, when you package
Speaker 1: the whole all of it together, that's something. This is,
Speaker 1: this is going to be the topic of the next
Speaker 1: year leading up to the election, and both parties battling
Speaker 1: to at least look like they're the party that cares
Speaker 1: about it, right right, Well, and Trump with his misstep.
Speaker 1: I keep hearing the quote from Laura Ingram. The only
Speaker 1: time the mainstream media ever pays attention to Fox News
Speaker 1: is when you know something bad happens for Republicans. But
Speaker 1: when Trump's told the Laura that, no, that affordable ability
Speaker 1: thing is a Democrat con job, everything's great. I'm just
Speaker 1: not getting credit for it. Oh was that a misstep? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's why they've been out the last couple
Speaker 1: of days. I don't know if I'm buying this new
Speaker 1: argument that rents and housing prices are high because of
Speaker 1: illegal immigration and Joe Biden letting all the illegals in.
Speaker 1: That's what j D. Bance rolled out yesterday. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it's not a non factor, but it's not the factor.
Speaker 1: It's a good one though, if you want to completely
Speaker 1: blame a different administration for something, though, all your rent
Speaker 1: is too damn. I agree with you, sir, and and
Speaker 1: point to something that you know your base is with
Speaker 1: four square on right. But I've done something about clearly. Yeah, yeah, there.
Speaker 1: You can fool some of the people some of the time,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to their budgets, their dollars and cents,
Speaker 1: putting food on their table, and you know, having enough
Speaker 1: money to pay for medicine for their kids. People are
Speaker 1: very realist and have very little patience for for spin.
Speaker 1: I hope this all gets fixed when we go to
Speaker 1: war with Venezuela. I think that's the answer to all
Speaker 1: our problems. Freaking get into a war footing, give Venezuela
Speaker 1: what they've been asking for. Tired of the way they act. Huh,
Speaker 1: fifty first state Canada, and yet I can't remember fifty first,
Speaker 1: fifty second. Whatever we're at now, we Streeland, we haven't
Speaker 1: forgotten about you. We should start the show officially, because,
Speaker 1: as Taylor Swift says, we're married to the hustle. We're
Speaker 1: here to intorm you. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty
Speaker 1: on this It is Friday, November fourteenth, year, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: where I'm strong and getting. We approve of this program,
Speaker 1: all right, Let's begin then officially, according to that SEC
Speaker 1: rules of regulations. Here we go at Mark.
Speaker 3: The US men yesterday ended production of the Penny after
Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty two years.
Speaker 1: Well, still not the worst thing that ever happened to Lincoln?
Speaker 1: Huh he was murdered. Hey, you guys agree, right? I
Speaker 1: had a gun with Johnny Carson's classic Too soon, right right?
Speaker 1: I I don't mind a Lincoln assassination joke, really, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. Goodbye Penny. You'll be missed. Nope, hated
Speaker 1: carrying around my whole life and you're really worthless now,
Speaker 1: So goodbye Penny. Yeah? How long? Since there are gazillions
Speaker 1: of pennies out there? How long will they be in circulation?
Speaker 1: And I've heard lots of people ask this, and I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about it. I'm sure it will be worked out.
Speaker 1: But how is the whole things are nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 1: My whole life, your whole life, everybody's whole life. Everything
Speaker 1: has been priced at eight ninety nine. How's that whole
Speaker 1: thing going to get fixed? Everything in round up or
Speaker 1: round down? Is it gonna be ninety five? Is everything
Speaker 1: going to be ninety five?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Eighteen ninety five? I think if unless you live somewhere
Speaker 1: with zero sales tax, that wouldn't be what you'd pay anyway. No,
Speaker 1: But just as a well, you're saying psychologically that we'll
Speaker 1: just stay it with everything's something ninety OUs, Oh I
Speaker 1: think so? Yeah, okay, and you don't think it'll immediately
Speaker 1: go into our head. But wait a second, nobody has pennies.
Speaker 1: Of course, who pays cash anyway? Right? Who are you
Speaker 1: paying cash for anything? I don't know. These questions are silly.
Speaker 1: I guess it's not. I guess it's a non problem.
Speaker 1: How much for someone's thoughts A nicol A penny's kind
Speaker 1: of an insulting offer. Not for mine? Well, it's about
Speaker 1: market value. I will not comment. Look forward to talking
Speaker 1: about some of the news today, and I actually looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what the stock market does. So Verizon
Speaker 1: announced they're going to cut about fifteen thousand jobs. That's
Speaker 1: with a couple other companies that have mention things like that,
Speaker 1: and several last week as we talked about on the air,
Speaker 1: and there were no none of your jobs numbers came
Speaker 1: out over the last month because of the shutdown, which
Speaker 1: I mocked a lot at the beginning of the shutdown,
Speaker 1: right right, but after you know, didn't think the shutdown
Speaker 1: was going to last almost a month and a half.
Speaker 1: So there's a whole bunch of data that hasn't been
Speaker 1: put out in the normal way during a time when
Speaker 1: many major companies announced tens of thousands of layoffs, So
Speaker 1: that next number that comes out next month could be
Speaker 1: pretty shocking. I've got to add in this unintentionally funny
Speaker 1: headline from the Wall Street Journal, which, oh, you'll probably
Speaker 1: react the way I did as the words unfolded in
Speaker 1: my brain. Worst market for college grads in four years
Speaker 1: was the headline. I'm thinking, you know, you look at
Speaker 1: those four years. One of those years has got to
Speaker 1: be the worst one. I mean, you're not saying much.
Speaker 1: I think that lands the way they think it's gonna land.
Speaker 1: All I know is the Mega Millions jackpots almost up
Speaker 1: to a billion dollars. That's my answer. Yes, that will
Speaker 1: get me out of a jam. How long before the
Speaker 1: federal government starts like plowing ten million dollars per week
Speaker 1: into the lotto to try to pay off the government debt?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Wow? See somebody federal government ends up winning the lotto
Speaker 1: like get Free Time, a national lotto, all the money
Speaker 1: goes to pay down the debt. Oh wow, that's a
Speaker 1: better idea. Yeah, we don't have to think about that.
Speaker 1: We got mail bag on the way, We got clips
Speaker 1: of the week today and more news to catch up on.
Speaker 1: I hope you can stay here. For instance, I dropped it,
Speaker 1: and consurance jumped up quite a bit in several states
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and Minnesota went up fifty eight
Speaker 1: percent in one year, in Maryland fifty three percent, California
Speaker 1: forty eight percent in twenty twenty four. Pennsylvani is up
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent, Virginia thirty three percent. Car insurance is
Speaker 1: out of control, and then homeowners insurance if you own
Speaker 1: a home similar yipes. That is that the Eggs Schmegs
Speaker 1: do something about the car insurance and homeowners insurance, right,
Speaker 1: I agree completely. You know, there are plenty of people
Speaker 1: who thought the Grock guys should have been primarily concerned
Speaker 1: with going after all the regulations that clog up the economy.
Speaker 1: It's not too late. I would love to see that
Speaker 1: become a priority. Anyway. Let's talk about who's reporting what
Speaker 1: it's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie starting
Speaker 1: with the Washington Post.
Speaker 3: China's new aircraft supercarrier challenges US dominance in Pacific.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that ain't good. That ain't good, Man, That underappreciated
Speaker 1: change in the structure of the world defense. Everything is
Speaker 1: China have an aircraft carriers that can because we didn't
Speaker 1: use that. There didn't used to be anybody could touch
Speaker 1: us when it came to aircraft carriers.
Speaker 3: Breitbart dot Com US aircraft carrier near Venezuela in flex
Speaker 3: of American military power.
Speaker 1: Take that, Venezuela tired of us, We'll show you by
Speaker 1: sailing ships at you. I guess.
Speaker 3: Business Insider TSA agents who served during the shutdown to
Speaker 3: receive ten thousand dollars bonuses.
Speaker 1: I don't hate this idea. I don't think I like
Speaker 1: rewarding people who knew they were going to get paid,
Speaker 1: who kept coming to work, including the air traffic controller guys.
Speaker 1: Ten grand sounds awfully ye generous though. Yeah.
Speaker 3: From the New York Post, fundraiser for Dave Portnoy's student
Speaker 3: Harasser raises over thirty six thousand dollars after anti Semitic rant.
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry the fund was for the kid, Yeah, alright.
Speaker 3: From The Independent, Elon Musk says Tesla's robot could follow
Speaker 3: people around to stop crime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to be better than that video that
Speaker 1: came out the other day where it just stood there
Speaker 1: and looked at him. I want to ask where can
Speaker 1: I get a coke? Just stood there? Did you see
Speaker 1: when the Russian tech firm trotted out their new robot
Speaker 1: all that video goell on its face and broke? That
Speaker 1: video is fantastic. We should talk more about that later.
Speaker 1: This one's from the Daily Star.
Speaker 3: Betty Boop turns bloodthirsty and twisted new horror with gruesome
Speaker 3: scenes galore.
Speaker 1: There's a new cartoon of what the thirties? There's a
Speaker 1: new edgy or Betty Boop.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a horror movie of Betty and she
Speaker 3: attacks podcasters. Okay, but apparently it is one of the
Speaker 3: gorrier horror movies that has been released. Oh boy, all right,
Speaker 3: study fines thirty minutes of sitting, fifteen minutes of standing.
Speaker 3: It's the best ratio for back pain relief.
Speaker 1: Say it again, thirty minutes of standing, fifteen minutes of sitting.
Speaker 3: Now, thirty minutes of sitting, okay, fifteen minutes of standing.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll do both. Sounds good. Send an alarm siris. ABC.
Speaker 3: Epstein appeared to offer political advice on dealing with Trump
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were very snarky. They didn't like each other.
Speaker 1: So ends my discussion of Epstein. It was a lead
Speaker 1: story again on MSNBC This Morning and Morning Joe. So
Speaker 1: that's four days in a row. Yeah, I'm Cianna's shovelers.
Speaker 1: Please it's ridiculous. There's nothing there.
Speaker 3: And finally from the Babylon Bee, Nancy Pelosi prepared for
Speaker 3: sad future of outsider Trading.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Y, that is funny. Keep our eye
Speaker 1: on the stock market to see if that was a blip.
Speaker 1: They got caught off guard by the announcement that maybe
Speaker 1: there won't be an interest right hack again, or if
Speaker 1: it is the AI bubble starting to burst. That's a
Speaker 1: big one. In addition all the other news we got
Speaker 1: to get to. If you miss it, get the podcast
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'm just my coffee intake is off today
Speaker 1: or what. Like I feel okay, but mentally, I really
Speaker 1: feel like things are about to collapse. Like not for
Speaker 1: me personally, but the world of all this financial news.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you sound sharp enough to me.
Speaker 1: All this financial news has just got me feeling ah eh,
Speaker 1: Jerry the word of the year. I hate when they
Speaker 1: come out with that because it always annoys me. But
Speaker 1: the word of the year should be precarious. Yeah, everything
Speaker 1: feels precare That's exactly right. That's what I feel. That
Speaker 1: is the feeling that you nailed my feeling precarious. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to ah. So a lot to squeeze in,
Speaker 1: but the first the Friday tradition, it's time to take
Speaker 1: a fun look back at the week that was. It's
Speaker 1: caw clips of the week. Margat's government shutdown in American
Speaker 1: history could be coming to an end. Democrats nationwide feeling
Speaker 1: about Chuck Schumer. I think the word of the day
Speaker 1: is terrible. No way to defend this. You are right
Speaker 1: to be angry, I.
Speaker 2: Hella, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: The bomb show release of what House Democrats say are
Speaker 1: emails to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: This vote is going to be on your record for
Speaker 1: longer than Trump is going to be president. And Lauren
Speaker 1: Boebert herself was called to the White House, had a
Speaker 1: meeting inside the Situation Room.
Speaker 3: There was no.
Speaker 1: Pressure, and I mean everybody was great. These emails proved
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. Twelve hundred flights have been canceled all across
Speaker 1: the US today. My little one has learned the word
Speaker 1: ice cream and she maybe make sure I promised her
Speaker 1: to get her ice cream when I get back home
Speaker 1: from the drip. That being said nothing, and I mean
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. I'd say it comes in to fit me,
Speaker 1: that little girl in her ice cream. Well, turmoil at
Speaker 1: Britain's premiere broadcaster with President Trump right in the middle.
Speaker 1: We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be
Speaker 1: there with you and we fight.
Speaker 3: We fight like hell any did ready, bunch of rassend
Speaker 3: he says, excuse me, sir, so mister gendering me right away.
Speaker 1: If you're not a woman, that's obvious. This is a
Speaker 1: police matter.
Speaker 3: No, they are not.
Speaker 1: They are men, say optimist. Do you know where I
Speaker 1: can get a coke? I can take you to the
Speaker 1: kitchen if you want to check for a coke there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: Go yes, let's do that. This is a very big play.
Speaker 1: Don't you think they have to get a touchdown. Let's
Speaker 1: put it differently, they just got a touch out. I'm
Speaker 1: reading this right like an actual real bull. Don't sleep
Speaker 1: all in the wet sheets, Sleep all in the wet sheets.
Speaker 1: If your name is Jack, don't sleep all the wet sheets.
Speaker 1: It's clips of the week. Gotta say, sleeping on dry
Speaker 1: sheets last night was a was a real treat. Enjoy
Speaker 1: it a lot. I'm sure it was signed the rest
Speaker 1: of humanity generally does signed non crazy people, so as always,
Speaker 1: cow was just dizzying and confusing and tiring in a
Speaker 1: good way. But all that stuff happened this week, including
Speaker 1: that one clip. Anytime any place, punch of fascists in
Speaker 1: the face, you're the young idiot shouting. And I want
Speaker 1: to follow up on that ugly, ugly situation in Berkeley,
Speaker 1: California as the turning point, USA tried to hold a
Speaker 1: very reasonable, intelligent, thoughtful event and I'll describe that in
Speaker 1: a second. But to get into that, I want to
Speaker 1: point this out Hassan Piker, who you've probably never heard of,
Speaker 1: and I hadn't really heard of until several people brought
Speaker 1: up the fact that he was at Mumdonni's rally and
Speaker 1: in a picture with him and other America hating type
Speaker 1: neomarxists and stuff, and he's just come up in the
Speaker 1: New again. He was in China. The dog abusing left
Speaker 1: wing edge lord who identifies as swagged out White Boy
Speaker 1: was in China with his sidekick who was like the
Speaker 1: captain of the squash team at a seventy nine thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year of prep school. Okay, these guys hate
Speaker 1: capitalism and they're preaching Marxi Marxism, typical Marxist actually, But
Speaker 1: the Chinese authorities approached him because he had some meme
Speaker 1: involving Chairman Mao on his phone that he was showing off.
Speaker 1: And these two China loving Marxists coward and fears. The
Speaker 1: Chinese authorities approached them then cut off their feet, and
Speaker 1: Andrew Styles at the Free Beacon mocks them roundly for that.
Speaker 1: But who is this guy who's such a an accepted
Speaker 1: part of the American left now and he's big, I
Speaker 1: guess he's he said on his live stream from China,
Speaker 1: like life, I just don't like I'm not I don't
Speaker 1: have any sort of patriotism in my heart from America.
Speaker 1: And then he watched the ceremonial flag raising near Mao's
Speaker 1: portrait at Tianmin Gate. He marveled at the pride of
Speaker 1: the older Chinese subjects who were and this is a quote,
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to experience a radical transformation in their lifetimes
Speaker 1: unlike any other country. He's talking about Mao's cultural revolution
Speaker 1: the resulted in tens of millions of deaths. Not only that,
Speaker 1: but he said, what was the other thing? Oh? He
Speaker 1: is an addition to loving red China and this authoritarian
Speaker 1: speech police Piker is also a toxic ami anti semi
Speaker 1: who's argued landlords should be mass slaughtered until the streets
Speaker 1: soak in their red capitalist blood. He claimed that the
Speaker 1: United States deserved to be attacked on nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: and many other heinous remarks. He's been openly embraced by
Speaker 1: like the pods Save America Pros, which is a huge
Speaker 1: podcast on the left and other mainstream elements of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. It is astonishing. And then you go to
Speaker 1: Berkeley the reason I mentioned that event, Also, where's the
Speaker 1: left calling that out the way the right has been
Speaker 1: calling out the Nick Puentez Tucker Carlson thing right right, exactly,
Speaker 1: they're nowhere to be seen. In fact, they're embracing this guy.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Andrew Doyle is an author. He's written a
Speaker 1: couple of great books, Free speech and why it matters
Speaker 1: and the New Puritans. And he was at the Turning
Speaker 1: Point USA event in Berkeley the other day, which was
Speaker 1: even uglier than I'd realized because as I'd just seen
Speaker 1: some of the footage that was on the news, and
Speaker 1: he writes, the dark void of ideological thinking has really
Speaker 1: been more evident than in the celebrations following the assassination
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk. Even committed leftists were horrified to witness
Speaker 1: the sheer relish expressed online from those who seemed to
Speaker 1: oddly eager to advertise their lack of basic humanity, and
Speaker 1: that ugliness was still evident this week at the University
Speaker 1: of California at Berkeley, Turning Point USA held an event
Speaker 1: on campus in defiance of those who gloated over his
Speaker 1: death on what would have been Charlie's final stop on
Speaker 1: his college tour that was planned and he talks to
Speaker 1: it was Rob Schneider was there, the comedian Peter Bagosian
Speaker 1: great thinker friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show, and
Speaker 1: the Christian apologist Frank Turrek, and they were fielding questions
Speaker 1: from the audience discussing their shared commitment to liberty despite
Speaker 1: their many differences of opinion. It was, as expected, a
Speaker 1: jovial and good natured exchange of ideas. Outside, things were
Speaker 1: not so serene. Protesters had gathered early, threatening attendees and
Speaker 1: obstructing them as they tried to enter the building. There
Speaker 1: were pyroateectics being ignited, grass I'm sorry, glass containers being thrown,
Speaker 1: attempts to break through barriers, attendees scattering as a car
Speaker 1: was apparently made to backfire to create the illusion of gunshots.
Speaker 1: Though the speakers inside unanimously emphasized a commitment to nonviolence
Speaker 1: and open dialogue, the mob outside appeared set on menacing
Speaker 1: anyone suspected of being a ticket holder. One woman's necklace
Speaker 1: was snatched, people were bloodied, there were brawls. In a
Speaker 1: video of the incident, you can hear someone gleefully calling out,
Speaker 1: you're bleeding, white boy. Those assembled f you're dead Homeie
Speaker 1: exalting in Kirk's death, and he compares them to the
Speaker 1: Westboro Baptist church that would pick soldier's funerals to go
Speaker 1: their grieving families. And so when you get you know,
Speaker 1: you got this hassan piker guy who's embraced by the
Speaker 1: center ish left and a super popular podcaster. Well, no
Speaker 1: wonder people get the ideas the sick and are proudly
Speaker 1: chanting in the street. Unbelievable. Also, it sounds like the
Speaker 1: news coverage of that nationally was wanting as opposed to
Speaker 1: if it had been some violence of that level trying
Speaker 1: to stop some mainstream left thing. Yeah, all three IT
Speaker 1: networks would be doing hour long specials about it. Yeah. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of sick thinking on the left. Hey,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the clips of the week and the cavalcade
Speaker 1: of sounds that were on there, and there were a
Speaker 1: lot of things on there. I could comment on all
Speaker 1: of them. I guess I did comment on all of
Speaker 1: them during the week. But the Tesla robot, we posted
Speaker 1: that video at Twitter if you haven't seen it, the
Speaker 1: optimist robot that Elon's rolling out, And that's Elon's new focus, right,
Speaker 1: the robots and all that sort of stuff, as opposed
Speaker 1: to the electric car. Yeah, I mean they gave him
Speaker 1: a trillion dollar incentive package at Tesla to perfect this robot.
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm picturing that like in five years,
Speaker 1: maybe not even that long, it'll be very common for
Speaker 1: everybody to have a robot in their house. Just like
Speaker 1: when the dishwasher showed up or the microwave oven, people
Speaker 1: will spring for that next appliance that is a robot
Speaker 1: that either folds laundry or I don't know what it'll
Speaker 1: be doing exactly. Yeah, I have follow up questions, but
Speaker 1: why don't we deliver a quick word from simply Safe
Speaker 1: home security. When you think of security, you probably think
Speaker 1: of an alarm in a house that reacts after somebody
Speaker 1: smashes your window. That's too little, too late. Simply Safe
Speaker 1: is different. It's the only home security you can actually
Speaker 1: call real security because simply Safe keeps watch outside your
Speaker 1: house and takes action before a criminal breaks in. I
Speaker 1: got to simply save myself. I love the cameras indoor
Speaker 1: and outdoor, and the center's on the doors and the
Speaker 1: windows and all that different sort of stuff. It is
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic, and it's not that expensive, about a dollar
Speaker 1: a day. You can set it up yourself. It's simple
Speaker 1: to use, and there are no long term contracts and
Speaker 1: a money back guarantee, So why not try it? And
Speaker 1: here's how it works. Before the break and if someone's
Speaker 1: lurking or doing something they shouldn't be, simply saves live
Speaker 1: agents immediately, let them know they're on camera and if
Speaker 1: they don't believe, the cops will be dispatched. Simply Safe
Speaker 1: is so much better. And right now go to simplysafe
Speaker 1: dot com slash armstrong. You will get sixty percent off
Speaker 1: any new system. It's their best deal of the year.
Speaker 1: You will not see a better price against sixty day
Speaker 1: money back guarantee. Get sixty percent off your new system.
Speaker 1: Simplysafe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, are you picturing like a
Speaker 1: humanoid robot or just I mean cause, like a super
Speaker 1: good roomba to vacuum and do floors. I could send
Speaker 1: purpose robot. Yeah, had to be multi purpose in that.
Speaker 1: But it's funny. I started my sentence with you, and
Speaker 1: five years from now, will will it be common to
Speaker 1: have in your household? If you're old enough, you remember
Speaker 1: when like the dishwasher showed up, or the microwave or whatever,
Speaker 1: and it became affordable that most people and it was
Speaker 1: an expensive item, but eventually you and all your friends
Speaker 1: had one because it just became something that every family
Speaker 1: wanted to have. Will the robot be like that? But
Speaker 1: at the end of my sentence when I got to
Speaker 1: that that can, I didn't have any real good examples.
Speaker 1: What would it be doing? What would it do that
Speaker 1: would be worth I don't know. I'm picturing it being
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars at least at first. It'll yeah, be
Speaker 1: at least that, but as you pointed out, it'll get
Speaker 1: cheaper and cheaper as mass production moves in. Uh wow,
Speaker 1: I don't need it to load my dishwashers. Being of
Speaker 1: the dishwasher, it's not that much trouble. No, neither is
Speaker 1: folding launchy. Although if it did everything, if a loaded
Speaker 1: a dishwasher and folded laundry and picked up around the house,
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, we just did a commercial
Speaker 1: for Simply Safe, not to put them out of business,
Speaker 1: but maybe it just, you know, kind of wanders around
Speaker 1: the house at night keeping an eye on things with
Speaker 1: a machine gun and metal teeth. Right. So well, I've
Speaker 1: got to disagree with you, though, And I would love
Speaker 1: folks input, whether if via text or email. Uh, if
Speaker 1: you could dump a load of laundry straight out of
Speaker 1: the dryer into a machine and it would fold everything
Speaker 1: perfectly and neatly, they would sell out. I mean initially
Speaker 1: to the rich, but that would be a popular item.
Speaker 1: I think. I don't know. Maybe it's just because I
Speaker 1: despise you must. I would not buy a five thousand
Speaker 1: dollar robot, or even a two thousand dollars robot, just
Speaker 1: to fold laundry. How about it be enough four hundred
Speaker 1: dollars robot four hundred dollars. Yeah, that they'll never be
Speaker 1: that cheap. It's going to be an expensive item. It
Speaker 1: will have to because it's going to be have to
Speaker 1: be so complex to be So I would like to
Speaker 1: know what the end of Elon sentences. Okay, you've dedicated
Speaker 1: your life to building these robots that can. Maybe he's
Speaker 1: mostly thinking warehouses. It's going to stack stuff, get stuff,
Speaker 1: down load trucks, pick up bales of hay, all kinds
Speaker 1: of different stuff. The assembly line. Sure work the assembly line.
Speaker 1: He's not thinking about it for home use, like I think.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I think the future is probably, at
Speaker 1: least in the near term, single use. You know, robotic equipment,
Speaker 1: just like it is an industry. Most of those robots
Speaker 1: have one job. But we'll say, if you haven't seen
Speaker 1: the video of them rolling out the Russian version of
Speaker 1: that and it falling off the The best part of
Speaker 1: that to me is the Russian engineers walking behind it
Speaker 1: like with their arms out ready to catch it, because
Speaker 1: they knew it was going to fall over at some point.
Speaker 1: Why did they even do that? Demonstrate that was a
Speaker 1: bagby to post that at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's dig that up, guys and put it up on
Speaker 1: their hotline. I like the guy grabbing the curtain and
Speaker 1: he couldn't. They try to pull a curtain so people
Speaker 1: can't see it, but he can't grab the curtain, and
Speaker 1: it was classic Soviet Union nonsense. We've got mail bag
Speaker 1: on the way, stay here, Hartrong. We got this text
Speaker 1: from somebody who says, I have my own turing test
Speaker 1: for robots. As soon as one can rake leaves, put
Speaker 1: them in a pile out by the street for the
Speaker 1: truck to come by. Then I'm in, Yeah. If you
Speaker 1: could add one that could do all those things, rake
Speaker 1: the leaves, put them out, take the trash out, unload
Speaker 1: the dish, all that stuff, that'd be pretty handy. That
Speaker 1: had cut quite a bit of work. Here's your freedom
Speaker 1: loving quota of the day. John Stuart Mill from on
Speaker 1: Freedom continuing the series, neither one person nor any number
Speaker 1: of persons is warranted and saying to another human creature
Speaker 1: of right beers that he shall not do with his
Speaker 1: life for his own benefit what he chooses to do
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah. John Stuart Mill was unfamiliar with the
Speaker 1: modern welfare state, in which you can do whatever you
Speaker 1: want or do nothing at all, and taxpayers will be
Speaker 1: asked to pay for your Nintendo system mailbagoo and your
Speaker 1: useless grievance degree as well drop us note mailbag and
Speaker 1: Armstrong and giddy dot com. Got this from Shock about
Speaker 1: the Government shutdown, among other things, and government employee unions. Guys,
Speaker 1: if the purpose of unions is to extract more money
Speaker 1: from greedy shareholders, then who are the targets of public
Speaker 1: sector unions? A questions seldom asked and never answered. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see. Ben in Texas Rights is a longtime listener
Speaker 1: twenty plus years. Thanks Ben. I've disagreed plenty, but this
Speaker 1: might be the first time I've ever been disgusted by
Speaker 1: your take on something. I can't even imagine being one
Speaker 1: of the many Epstein survivors who have publicly come out
Speaker 1: and said there were other rich and powerful abusers who
Speaker 1: have been named in police and FBI reports that for
Speaker 1: some reason, to face zero consequences. We would like that
Speaker 1: to change. Only to hear radio hosts call their please
Speaker 1: domb and a nothing burner. I wouldn't say that's a
Speaker 1: dumb plea at all. I've never said that about that
Speaker 1: particular concern. You don't have to believe Israeli intelligence is
Speaker 1: behind the whole plot to show some empathy for rape
Speaker 1: victims who would just like some justice, do better. Please No, no, okay,
Speaker 1: So we got a text similar to that that I
Speaker 1: was happy to read a little bit later. But I
Speaker 1: think the guilty parties have been caught. That's where we
Speaker 1: differ Epstein and Maxwell, who are trafficking these people. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a giant group of rapists out there
Speaker 1: that are getting away with it. If I believe that,
Speaker 1: i'd be all I'd be with you. But I don't
Speaker 1: believe that. What do we put a pin in that?
Speaker 1: As they say, and we'll come back to it, let's see.
Speaker 1: Because I have a response to Ben too, John writes,
Speaker 1: I don't know if false flag is the right term,
Speaker 1: but maybe Trump fighting the Epstein files. As he knows
Speaker 1: nothing is in there keeps democrats busy and they look
Speaker 1: like fools when they find nothing. I don't know. Moving
Speaker 1: on joyfully, let's see David with a really interesting point
Speaker 1: of view about the unaffordability of housing, particularly for young people,
Speaker 1: young families. I'm bemoaning the lack of starter homes that
Speaker 1: allow younger people to get into the ownership game. And
Speaker 1: almost every municipality I'm aware of the mandated affordable housing
Speaker 1: is almost exclusively reneral properties. Yeah, the culture of expecting
Speaker 1: a home as nice as your parents who worked there
Speaker 1: were way up over thirty years is a big problem.
Speaker 1: But so is the crony capitalism of big developers getting
Speaker 1: a new apartment complex improved, while small individual starter homes
Speaker 1: almost never get approved. And he's been a general contractor
Speaker 1: in the West Coast for twenty years. That's interesting. Our
Speaker 1: first couple of houses were tiny, Judy and me and
Speaker 1: kind of crappy, and we fixed them up. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think about all the new suburbs I see springing
Speaker 1: up there and everywhere. They're all big houses. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Interesting, And my Montana wants to
Speaker 1: know about Katy Wilson, the new mayor of Seattle, who
Speaker 1: pays forty thousand dollars a year in childcare, And he writes, hey,
Speaker 1: Kitty Wilson has an unemployed husband. Can't he watched the
Speaker 1: kiddo's family situation sounds sketchy. Let's give her nine billion
Speaker 1: dollars to oversee. Yay, that's right. The new mayor of
Speaker 1: Seattle is still on her parents payroll. We had a
Speaker 1: lot on the way, a bunch of weight in on
Speaker 1: how much your car insurance is, speaking of affordability and
Speaker 1: other things to talk about Armstrong and Getty
