Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty,
and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This week, Kamala Harris will give her first public remarks
since leaving office in January, and to preparees, he's been
working with two new speech writers named Gray and Goose.
Wow the continuing season, Harris will be speaking at an
event that trains women to run for office as Democrats.
According to Kamala, step one is writing a great concession speech.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I was looking up at the TVs on this the
one hundredth day of Trump being president, which they make
too big a deal out of, but it's funny. Cnnn
SNBC have varieties of headlines like one hundred days of
turmoil and that sort of thing, disastrous start, and Fox
had historic start to presidency one hundred days, which is accurate.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well literally, Yes, historians will write about it.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes, although this is worth pointing out. This is a
big thing they're talking about on Fox and Friends day.
The total media coverage, mainstream media coverage for Trump has
been ninety two percent negative. Wow, even with all the
things he did that have majority support. Yeah, especially going
back to the first part of one hundred days, ninety
(01:39):
two percent negative.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Amazing that any Republican doesn't spend their lives at twenty
percent approval with the media coverage you get.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So wonder Republicans ever win an election. Yeah, wildly unfair.
But who will win the next time around? Jack? Perhaps
it's young Gavin Newsom of California. Young? But who old
is Gavin Newsom? I think he's my age. I think
I've looked this up before you we're exactly the same age. Okay,
So who is this young Gavin Newsom? He says, continuing,
(02:17):
and they start with a question. Bill Maher asked Newsom
not long ago, your future is in Iowa. Let's dispense
with the bull crap. Are you gonna do it or not?
I don't have any grand plans like why you know,
that's one of the reasons Barack Obama got elected is
he was just honest about that when he was asked
those kind of questions. Yeah. Yeah, Well. John McCormack wrote
(02:38):
a great piece for The Dispatch against or about Newsom
rather and include some handy biographical stuff. As we discuss
our he'p been helping a Gavin with a side dish
of JB. Prisker. Stay tuned, but from a young young
I don't have any grand plans. Who is that for?
(02:59):
Gavey has Harbard presidential ambitions? His political patron, former San
fran mayor Willy Brown. What that under plays who Willy was?
He was the most speaker of pro temothcent. He's the
most powerful politician in California for like twenty years. Anyway.
He recalled in a recent interview that the first time
Newsom was elected to the Board of Supervisors in nineteen
(03:19):
ninety eight, one of his buddies proceeded to toast him. Quote,
mister mayor, the next time we'll be toasting this man
on his birthday, he'll be in the White House, sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, and you're invited. And that was before
he was anything, said Willy Brown in twenty twenty three,
when asked if Newsom had his eyes on the White House. Quote,
there's no way in the world anybody who's ever met
(03:39):
him would answer that question any differently. He'd all he
would like already to be president. It's a weird thing.
Bill Clinton has talked about this.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That we we admire ambition in every realm of life
except being president of the United States. For some reason,
we act like, you know, if you want to be
the greatest guitar player in the world, the greatest basketball
player in the world, the greatest car maker in the
world from a.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Young age, it's admired.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But if you ever say you want to be president
at any point in your life, it's held against you.
Is like something bad, which is weird, and.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Then what the hell is going on? And then you
have it. But that's a tradition or a value that
goes back a couple hundred years. I get it, but.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Why is it still around? I don't I don't understand
it. It doesn't make any sense to me. And then why
do people obviously lie about it?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It makes sense to me because you're not saying I
want achievement. It's I want power, or that's the way
it's seen, I want power, and that's scene as unseemly.
I don't think anybody ad buys it when they hear it.
So well, yeah, that's a good point. So Gavy grew
up in a politically connected San Francisco families father was
(04:52):
a judge who was close to the Getty family, not
Joe Getty, but the oil people and art museums and
all heirs to an ill fortune, the bankrolled democratic politics
in the Bay Area, and his aunt married Nancy Pelosi's
brother in law. But Newsome tells the story of his
mother motivating him blah blah blah after graduating in nineteen
(05:13):
eighty nine from the University of Santa Clair after a
fake baseball career. He was a legacy who was admitted
only because he was from a rich family. Really, yeah,
oh yeah, his baseball career was fake. I've heard about it,
but yeah, yeah, yeah. He claims that he was a
baseball scholarship admit blah blah blah, But no, he never
played these I don't even think he's listed on rosters, okay,
(05:34):
something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So he was doing that before it became popular or
well known.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's probably been popular forever, but oh forever. Oh wow, Okay,
the Getty family got him in. We're all the way,
we all fall short sometimes after Now, granted, he has
also struggled with dyslexia his whole life, and I would
never mock anybody for that. You know, he is pursuable.
Get your b's and ds straight. Wow, Wow, that is
so wrong. After graduating in eighty nine from the Universe
(06:00):
Santa Clair, he launched a wine shop and restaurant business
bankrolled by the Getties in nineteen ninety six before turning
thirty and dowso got to start in politics when Willy
Brown named it him to San Francisco's Parking Commission, you know,
because of all of Gavin savvy and expertise on parking.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So the next year Brown gave Newton, but he didn't
have to sleep with Willy Rown.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Not that I know of. The next year, Brown gave
Newsom a vacant spot on the Board of Supervisors, etca,
et cetera. And it's a very Kamala Harris esque rise.
If you get California, if you get tagged by the
powerful in certain cities in certain states, man, you're.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You are really set. I mean, you have to go
out of your way to screw it up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, well said so. Shifting over to something Jeff
Blair wrote for The National Review, he comments on the
conversation Gavy Boy had with Charlie Kirk that made waves
by conceding that there's unfairness in men competing in women's sports.
Anybody would half a brain knows that barely. The Supreme
(07:03):
Court of Britain just ruled unanimously that no, you're not
a woman just because you declare yourself a woman. Anyway,
but Jeff points out that there have been multiple opportunities
for Gavin to turn that belief into influence or legislation
(07:24):
or a rule or anything in California since that conversation,
and it's just absolutely disappeared. He has had multiple opportunities
to say, hey, remember why I said that's unfair. But no,
he is a politician with an extremely close eye on
which side his bread is buttered, as Jeff pointed out,
(07:46):
and he also says, remember this is the guy who
appointed the president of Emily's List. That's the big lefty fundraiser,
a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, to phill Diane Feinstein's
vacant Senate seat for a year because he knows exactly
whom he wants to owe him favors when the time comes. Anyway,
that's just a little more about Gavy than I move
(08:07):
on to this drill, baby drill, and Gavin's hair. Alicia here,
I laughed. Alicia Finley of The Wall Street Journal wrote
a great piece that, you know, I wish we had
time to just read the whole thing. The title is
California keeps declining and Newsom tries to blame Trump. Say
(08:29):
this for Gavin Newsom, He's a master of misdirection. California
is losing jobs fifty four thousand, eight hundred during the
first three months of this year. That's right, almost fifty
five thousand jobs. Valero this month announced plans to close
a major refinery portending gasoline shortages and price bikes. Insurance
and electricity rates are soaring. Fifty four percent of Californians
(08:51):
say things are going generally in the wrong direction, which
is up fifteen points to see became governor. But by
his telling, everything in the Golden State is going swimmingly,
or was until Donald Trump started his tariff barrage. And
one interesting factoid within this article, which is one of
the more intelligent and effective takedowns a gavvy boy that
(09:14):
I've read in a long time. They point out that
Gavin was just boasting that California last year overtook Japan
to become the world's fourth largest economy. California is and
just keep it pace with the world. We're setting the pace,
he tooted. While we celebrate this success, we recognize that
our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of
(09:36):
the current federal administration. Were't no fans of the tariff
policies around here, But Alicia points out that a tortoise
can beat a snail, but that doesn't mean it's fast.
Japan's sluggish growth, weakened currency, and relatively low inflation over
the past several years allowed California to surpass its nominal
gross domestic product, But it's a economy. California's economy grew
(10:01):
at half the pace of Florida's over the last five years.
Didn't know that. And here's the really interesting part. And
I tweeted about this the other day because people don't
get this. If your like average income is in country
A is seventy five thousand dollars a year, and country
B it's ten thousand dollars a year, well you're going
(10:24):
to assume immediately that country B is downtrodden in a
horrible place to live. But if the average home in
country A is forty thousand dollars and it's fifteen hundred
dollars in country B. It's a very different, you know, adjustment.
So interestingly, this isn't exactly an indictment of Gavin Newsom.
I just find it an interesting fact. The Golden State's
(10:47):
GDP would rank eleventh in the world when adjusting for
purchasing power. Oh wow, that according to a report by
the California Center for Jobs in Economy.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That is something I have explained to people ever since
I moved to California about salaries, because I've known people
who came to California because they're gonna pay, you know,
multiples more than they were making for the same job
in whatever state they were in. And I point out, well,
let me explain you how much more expensive it is
to live here. Right, You're purchasing power with the money
(11:19):
you're gonna make, And.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's Alicia's main point in this. Yeah, you're gonna earn more,
but your paychecks won't go as far. Filling up a
Jeep will cost you one hundred dollars. Charging a Tesla
is and much cheaper. Since California's electricity rates are double
the rest of the countries and continue to climb owing
to Newsom's reckless and idiotic climate policies.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I plugged in the cyberbeast the other day, and at
the end of it, I thought, that costs that much
to charge that up?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's the advantage here? Listen to this? Would you? After
all the rate hikes, nearly one in five households is
behind on their utility payments oof in California. To afford
a typical home in the state eight median sales price
eight hundred and eighty four thousand dollars. Wow, Californias need
(12:07):
to earn nearly two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Wow, it wouldn't have been that long ago. You'd have
thought even in California, let alone the rest of the country,
you have a nine hundred thousand dollars house. You're really
doing well. Now it says you're right in the middle.
There's as many people with more expensive as less expensive.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, and you're struggling to afford it. Many are increasingly
struggling to find works as employers layoff workers and move
jobs to more business friendly states like Texas. Since January
of twenty twenty, California has lost jobs in information about
fifty four thousand lost sixty two thousand jobs in finance,
lost forty nine thousand in professional and business services, lost
fifty nine thousand in leisure and hospitalities, and lost seventy
(12:48):
thousand jobs in manufacturing. There has been a bounce back
after a pandemic, but more industry has been losing jobs
since summer of twenty twenty two. But Gavy boy is
going to try to blame Donald J. Trump and blame
him all the way to the White House. There's more
in the more evidence in the prosecution of Gavin Newsome,
but we're out of time, and I think the point's
(13:09):
been made for now. More to come.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, and he's probably gonna run, so we'll get this
pay attention to that. Then we have a new wrinkle
in the Bill Belichick and his fifty year younger girlfriend's story.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And hot, I mean, that's that's just a bad head.
Unless you have the word hot in there, I'm not
buying your headline. Gotta have a picture of her in
her outfit when she was runner up and miss USA.
Rovo Hot, among other dollar pissed a lot other things
on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Twenty four year old Jordan Hudson his creative muse as
he writes in his book, Jordan was a constant presence
during our interview.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
to try to do what I feel like is best
for me and what's right. How did you guys meet?
Not talking about this?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
No, no, So that's the story. From CBS Sunday Morning
did a long interview with Bill Belichick, former football coaches.
Has nothing to do with sports. He's a rich, famous
old man. His girlfriend is fifty years younger, which is
a lot a literal beauty queen. Yeah, actual beauty queen,
(14:26):
and she kept interrupting the interview. The very confident, very successful,
very glib Bill Belichick apparently needed his twenty four year
old girlfriend to jump up when he was asked certain
questions and intervene so he wouldn't answer.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That is I'd be like me.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Jumping in if Joe's asking a question because I don't
think he can handle it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean, that's cra I might be offended by, Oh,
we're not talking about that, right, vice versa.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's just crazy, and so what is going on there
exactly now? Megan Kelly on her podcast called it elder abuse,
which might be the reason that they put out this
email just in the last couple of hours. So they
released an email in the last couple of hours. That's
(15:21):
Bill Belichick emailing a number of people about the rollout
of his book, which is what the interview is about,
and how unfair the media coverage is and they're focusing
on the wrong things in the book and blah blah blah.
It's unclear as to why they put this email out.
It's not connected to the controversy. The controversy is your hoty,
young girlfriend decides what questions you can answer, and how
(15:44):
that just seems weird.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You're the guy who isn't intimidated by anything, right, pays
fines in the NFL rather than answer questions he doesn't
want to answer, and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
So now you've got this young girlfriend. So I guess
that's why Megan Kelly claimed held her abuse, like is
he not capable of taking care of him? And he
so anymore? And here's Greg Guttfeld's joke about the relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Finally, Bill Belichick's twenty four year old girlfriend was criticized
for repeatedly interrupting his interview on CBS Sunday Morning. She
also pulled the plugs of several cameras, which she called
practice for later.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's what a bell. That's one of gutfells better jokes. Joke.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, I don't so nobody knows why they put out
this email. It doesn't it doesn't address the her interrupting
unless this was like the show. See he's still got
his mental faculties. Look how detailed this email is. I
don't know what's going on there. And she said she'll
have a full statement later today about the CBS thing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Okay, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I mean, nobody really cares. It's just kind of an
interesting gossip.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Issue statement about your previous statements. Nobody can figure out
why you stated them. She always dresses like super hot.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I mean, she doesn't downplay the fact that the why
he might be with her again.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Really admirable level of physical fitness for that young lady.
I congratulate her. Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
On India's streets. Anger at Pakistan is burning, India is
flexing military muscle at sea. Pakistan warrns of war if
India threatens its water supply. One of the deadliest attacks
in years, an Indian administered Kashmir gunman opened fire on
sightseers in the remote mountain valley of Pehelgum twenty five
(17:39):
Indian citizens and an appal national dead. Police on the
Indian side named three suspects, claiming two are Pakistani nationals.
They link the attack to a Pakistan based Islamis group
called lush garay Tayabah. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif denies
any involvement.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That's interesting. So I had.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
A Pakistani uber driver in San Francisco on Saturday night
and I brought this up. I asked him, Mari he
was from. Very interesting young dude, really a go getter,
I could tell. And I asked him, Mari he's from?
And he said Pakistan? And I said, well, boy, are
you and India going to go to war? He said, now,
(18:22):
We're not going to go to war. We do this
every so often. They sell patriotism. They both have reasons
now and then to get everybody else stirred up again
to cover up various other stories, he said, like, for instance, Mody.
You probably haven't heard this, but one of the people
that was trying to run against mody Is got thrown
in jail and it was turning into a big story.
So now this is happening, said, this happens on both
(18:43):
sides all the time, and we've just gotten used to it.
And I said, well I've and I don't know how
much is this chorre now. I mean, he's just a
regular guy, and he could have warped political views just
like anybody you know could, or being misled by his
own bubbled media.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
But I brought up the I said, well, I've seen
that whole thing at that one gate that they do
every night, like at sunset, where the Pakistani guards.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
In the India.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He said, yeah, that's my hometown. I said, it's a
right by where I live. It's like two miles from
my house.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh wow. So if you've never seen this video, you
should look for it on YouTube. It's something. There's a
bridge that goes over a little river.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It's a border between Pakistan and India, and they have
soldiers on each side and they huff and puffin like
glare at each other and slammed the gate closed and
say various things.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He said, but it's all very ceremonial, like they march looking.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hanged right, agitated, Yeah, right, he said, they just they're
selling patriotism to tourists and people in their own countries
to keep us all, you know, fired up about our
own countries. It's all just fake for the politicians. And
so that was his take on it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Although somebody slaughtered all those poor tourists.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
True, and like years ago when that horrifying Islamic mob
I think from Pakistan went into that big ho hotel
in I call it Bombay and slaughtered all those people.
I mean that was real obviously hundreds dead. Yeah, but
(20:11):
prize me that on a semi regular basis, you do
a little dust up if it's of convenience to either side.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, there are certainly Islamist mobs and Hindu mobs
who are trying to get rid of the Muslims who
you know, commit terrible, terrible crimes and provide you an
excuse to fire everybody up. Yeah, I don't think it's
probably like false flag operations, But.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Different topic on this dude. Let's just ask him how
why he came here or how he likes the United
States or whatever. And he likes it, and he likes
the culture of getting ahead and succeeding and doing things
or coming up with an idea and everything He said
that doesn't exist in his country, said.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Everybody wants to be It's funny Americans are trying to
squash that. But back to you, I know he didn't
white supremacy, does he that Pakistani man understand he's part
of white supremacy. The idea of that ambition and working
hard will get you ahead is white supremacy, and he
is how insidious I hate it.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He was really happy that San Francisco had cleaned up
the homeless situation, which they have by the way, if
you haven't been into the like shopping areas of San
Francisco lately, he was happy that they'd really cleaned it up,
and how it was damaging business and all that sort
of thing. He didn't throw out a single I feel
so bad for those drug addicts. But he's talking about
(21:32):
how people in the Middle East, he said, we have
a different view in Middle East. Everybody wants to be rich,
but nobody wants to accomplish anything. I'm using his words.
I don't have any idea to what extent this is true.
You know, maybe society is structured in such a way.
I mean, mobility is difficult in most countries. You can't
like go out and start a business and get ahead
(21:53):
very easily. AnyWho, he said, everybody wants to show off
how wealthy they are. He said, it's so such a
big deal where I'm from to if you have an iPhone,
you carry it in your front pocket and you put
enough stuff in your pocket so that your iPhone sticks
up out of your pocket so people can see the
lens to make sure that they know you have an iPhone.
I thought, wow, it was an interesting flex. And then
(22:15):
he talked about his wife's from Dubai, and he said,
even in Dubai, he said, you know what it costs
to have to He said, like the most expensive car
you can buy in the world is like eight million dollars,
he said, but if you want to be impressive in Dubai,
you have to spend sixty three million dollars. That's what
license plate number one costs. The rich people buy the
(22:39):
most expensive license plate, the higher the number of the
rich you are. So license plate literally number one. So
you're driving around a car I'm sure, a very expensive car,
but has license number one on it. It's just a flex.
It's no purpose other than the show how rich you are.
He said, Like number five is like forty eight million dollars.
Everybody knows this because that's the whole point is to
(23:01):
show how you wealthy you are, which is, yeah, we
wouldn't do anything. I mean, we do tawdry obviously, there's
a lot of tons of conspicuous consumption and everything like that, but.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Not at that level. I mean, that's I mean, that
is one hundred percent pure.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You might as well just I don't know why you
just don't have a website where people can go look
at your bank account.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know. That is I'm trying to think of other,
you know, manifestations of that urge that I'm familiar with,
But no, that's the most egregious one I've ever heard
of in my life. I think you can go farther
than that. If I'm Mark Zuckerberg wearing an eight hundred
thousand dollars watch that nobody knows is an eight hundred
thousand dollars watch except other super rich people. That's just
(23:48):
eight hundred thousand dollars, I mean next to a sixty
million dollar license plate. Please, that's that's a silly little babble.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, Bezos's yacht, which I think was like a quarter
dollar I mean that that. That's pretty conspicuous consumption. And
it's not because he needed a yacht that big. He
wanted to have the biggest yacht. But man, that's still
pales in comparison to I have license plate number two
(24:16):
and you can look it up. It's because I spent
fifty six million dollars. It's crazy, isn't that what an
interesting culture to me?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
License Plate number two is the first loser. Yeah, if
you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. You know,
this is funny. I'm googling google most expensive yacht, but
I haven't gotten past most expensive. First thing that pops up,
most expensive Pokemon card, then most expensive car, watch, lego set,
(24:48):
and baseball card.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's funny, Anus Wagner, isn't it the most expensive baseball card?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm sorry? What was that name again, Honus swag there, oh, homeless?
The most good Lord. The most expensive yacht ever built
is the History Supreme, with the staggering price tag of
four point eight billion dollars. This yacht is owned by
Robert Kuaki, Malaysian businessman known for its extravagant design and materials.
(25:22):
I'll bet it is, yes, but there's something.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
There's something awful about it being just the license plate because.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It's more on expensive yachts after this rans and I.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Think part of it is practically everybody unless you're Saint
Francis of Assisius, aspires to more wealth and then perhaps
more stuff. Although I've told my kids a bunch of
times they get they always ask me, what would you
do if you won the lottery when it's a billion dollars? Said,
I don't think I would change really anything, And.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I got you lack imagination, sah, I get pretty much
all the stuff I want. I don't know i'd buy
myself this four point eight billion dollar yacht. It appears
to be entirely gold plated. I'm not kidding, but so.
It also features a statue made from Tyrannosaurus rex bones
and a liquor bottle adorned with eighteen and a half
(26:20):
carrot diamonds. Oh my, you know what, that's a little
showy for my tastes. T rex bones? Good lord, just
you know, whip it out and lay it on the table.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Well exactly, why not just have a website? Here's you
can go. Look at my bank account. Now it goes
up every day at least with the stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Watch house, boat car.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I feel like there's one one degree better aspiring to
own that than just have the higher number lower number
license plate.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I mean that is just nothing. Well right, I mean again,
dollars per I mean, obviously, if I have a solid
twelve hundred dollars watch, you're not telling time any better
with your million dollar watch than me.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, but you could, well you can, but you could
admire the craftsmanship of a million dollar watch, like, yes,
the intricacy of the parts, that's usually what they are.
They are incredibly complicated that have to be made by
by by by.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Artisans, et cetera, et cetera. The same with aesthetically placing
in a way that you find delightful. Boyeah, you could
at least make the case.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
As artistic value to it on some level will be around,
you know, centuries from now probably and go. You know
the boat, you know, I don't know the view you
come right on the water on a boat, you got
a basketball court. Whatever. The license plate is nothing, it's
it's entirely I'm better than you.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I mean, it's just nothing else but that. No, it
has zero function, zero esthetic appeal, zero anything.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Anyway, That was his point that that's the culture in
the Middle East that he doesn't feel like exists in
the United States to a certain extent.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's true. I don't know, it's it's an interesting one. Yeah,
I can't find bezos yacht. I thought I saw his
picture in Thish. Oh there's you know, it's funny. I'd
forgotten completely that we were talking about your Pakistani friend.
But yeah, that is that is an astonishingly disgusting, you know,
just thing to exist Jeffrey Bezel. I mean it takes
(28:47):
gratuitous to another level. Yeah. Oh that's a video. That's
no good. Oh, there we go. How much does Jeffrey
bezos yacht cost five hundred million dollars to build? That's
a nice yacht. It's a nice boat though. It's very
very pleasing lines to it. Too bad he can't get
a T shirt the right size. I guess they spent
(29:08):
all his money on his yacht. Maybe he ought to,
you know, click on Amazon and get an Excel or something.
You'd think he'd know how anyway.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh and two, Yeah, the the iPhone thing. I mean,
I assume iPhones are per capital way more expensive. It
is a more but that's something you gotta have. It
sticking out of your pocket.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah yeah, it seems pathetic, but we do. We do
versions of that, it just just not quite as gratuitous.
Yeah yeah, do you have neck pain? I might be
able to tell you why without a physical exam, although
if you'd like one, give me a call. I'll swing
by your place.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I know a few people who seemed to be the
source of the pain in my neck, or at least
I've said that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
We'll finished strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Katie Vance was one of the last people to see
Hook France is alive, having a meeting within the day
before he died.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
This pope had literally touched lepers, He drank sewage water
in slums and survived.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Ten minutes, ten minutes talking with JD.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Vance, and the Pope is like, God, check, please, God, God.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I can't. I can't do it. I've been celibate eighty
eight years.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
This is the longest ten minutes of my life.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
An unfair portrayal of the last moments of the Pope
from the leftist comedian John Stewart, Right, you can get
to your neck pain or this story. Lawyers for Mike Lindell,
the my Pillow Guy, slept on one last night, his
(31:10):
lawyers could face discipline after admitting to filing a court
document generated by AI that was rife with errors, including
citing legal cases that do not exist.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I must say, without having a very strong opinion on
Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, he did have an
odd demeanor when I met him at the convention and
tried to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, he's a quirky fellow, no doubt, an amazing success story.
He seemed very distracted as I tried to engage you.
He's looking for a bigger name, probably, and who can
blame him? So your neck pain is probably from staring
at your phone. Six hours of sedentary behavior day linked
(31:58):
to neck pain, most particularly in partically in particularly small screens,
because people tend to sit hunched and bend their necks
and slouch their shoulders when using the device. According to
a recent study, compared with not engaging in sedentary behavior,
(32:24):
sitting four hours a day increase the risk of neck
pain by forty five percent. For periods exceeding six hours
a day, the risk of neck pain is nearly eighty
eight percent greater than for non sedentary individuals. I think
we think of exercise making a sore. Not exercising is
what really makes us sore. What did we do and
(32:44):
what that long ago?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
What did we do with those four to six hours
per day when we before smartphones?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
What were we doing?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Not like we were building log cabins. It wasn't that
many years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I was watching TV, flipping through people mag.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yes, I was behind an OX team myself those six
hours a day.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Thought, here's your hosts for final thoughts, Joe Kin, let's
get a.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things
up for the day. There he is, pressing the buttons.
Michael Angelow in the control room. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Okay, miche Yeah Michael, Michael, you're not answering that. I
love it. Very well done, not talking about that. Go ahead, Michael,
if she'll let you. My final thoughts is I would
rather have a raft with a hole in it than
all the problems of a billionaire yacht. There you go,
(33:51):
There you go. It's something to say, so she could
interrupt me. It's sweet, beautiful, it came together beautifully. Katie
Greener esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I'll never forget when my parents were going to get
their house painted and something on the boat broke, So
my mom looked at my dad and went, well, I
guess we're not getting the house.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Painted now, are we? How much the damn things cost? Wow?
He knew the deal, Yes, Jackie.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Final thought for us, Yeah, Tomorrow the GDP numbers come out,
and it's expected that it will show that we shrunk
as an economy. And if that's the case, I think
it's going to be a really really big news story.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So hopefully it'll turn out to be wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
My final thought is I wish we'd gotten to the
Shador Sanders prank call case because it was a very
bad thing to do, and then a very good apology.
Do I think we could all learn from perhaps tomorrow?
I didn't hear that? Really interesting? If Armstrong you Getty?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, so many people to.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Think, so little time. Go to Armstrong and Getty dot
com hot links. Pick up some ang swag for your
favorite a g fen even if it's you hoodie, your
T shirt hat. We'll see tomorrow. Bless America. I'm Strong
and Getty. That was even dumber and more annoying than usual.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Are you whatever, mofo.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
One final message I've said at this point twice, at
this point, at this point even I think you've sufficiently
covered at what point we're at. Yes, we are at
no other point than this, clearly so. Concluded by remarks
thank you all very much, Bye bye are I'm strong
and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Jetty,
and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This week, Kamala Harris will give her first public remarks
since leaving office in January, and to preparees, he's been
working with two new speech writers named Gray and Goose.
Wow the continuing season, Harris will be speaking at an
event that trains women to run for office as Democrats.
According to Kamala, step one is writing a great concession speech.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I was looking up at the TVs on this the
one hundredth day of Trump being president, which they make
too big a deal out of, but it's funny. Cnnn
SNBC have varieties of headlines like one hundred days of
turmoil and that sort of thing, disastrous start, and Fox
had historic start to presidency one hundred days, which is accurate.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well literally, Yes, historians will write about it.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes, although this is worth pointing out. This is a
big thing they're talking about on Fox and Friends day.
The total media coverage, mainstream media coverage for Trump has
been ninety two percent negative. Wow, even with all the
things he did that have majority support. Yeah, especially going
back to the first part of one hundred days, ninety
(01:39):
two percent negative.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Amazing that any Republican doesn't spend their lives at twenty
percent approval with the media coverage you get.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So wonder Republicans ever win an election. Yeah, wildly unfair.
But who will win the next time around? Jack? Perhaps
it's young Gavin Newsom of California. Young? But who old
is Gavin Newsom? I think he's my age. I think
I've looked this up before you we're exactly the same age. Okay,
So who is this young Gavin Newsom? He says, continuing,
(02:17):
and they start with a question. Bill Maher asked Newsom
not long ago, your future is in Iowa. Let's dispense
with the bull crap. Are you gonna do it or not?
I don't have any grand plans like why you know,
that's one of the reasons Barack Obama got elected is
he was just honest about that when he was asked
those kind of questions. Yeah. Yeah, Well. John McCormack wrote
(02:38):
a great piece for The Dispatch against or about Newsom
rather and include some handy biographical stuff. As we discuss
our he'p been helping a Gavin with a side dish
of JB. Prisker. Stay tuned, but from a young young
I don't have any grand plans. Who is that for?
(02:59):
Gavey has Harbard presidential ambitions? His political patron, former San
fran mayor Willy Brown. What that under plays who Willy was?
He was the most speaker of pro temothcent. He's the
most powerful politician in California for like twenty years. Anyway.
He recalled in a recent interview that the first time
Newsom was elected to the Board of Supervisors in nineteen
(03:19):
ninety eight, one of his buddies proceeded to toast him. Quote,
mister mayor, the next time we'll be toasting this man
on his birthday, he'll be in the White House, sixteen
hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, and you're invited. And that was before
he was anything, said Willy Brown in twenty twenty three,
when asked if Newsom had his eyes on the White House. Quote,
there's no way in the world anybody who's ever met
(03:39):
him would answer that question any differently. He'd all he
would like already to be president. It's a weird thing.
Bill Clinton has talked about this.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That we we admire ambition in every realm of life
except being president of the United States. For some reason,
we act like, you know, if you want to be
the greatest guitar player in the world, the greatest basketball
player in the world, the greatest car maker in the
world from a.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Young age, it's admired.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But if you ever say you want to be president
at any point in your life, it's held against you.
Is like something bad, which is weird, and.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Then what the hell is going on? And then you
have it. But that's a tradition or a value that
goes back a couple hundred years. I get it, but.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Why is it still around? I don't I don't understand
it. It doesn't make any sense to me. And then why
do people obviously lie about it?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It makes sense to me because you're not saying I
want achievement. It's I want power, or that's the way
it's seen, I want power, and that's scene as unseemly.
I don't think anybody ad buys it when they hear it.
So well, yeah, that's a good point. So Gavy grew
up in a politically connected San Francisco families father was
(04:52):
a judge who was close to the Getty family, not
Joe Getty, but the oil people and art museums and
all heirs to an ill fortune, the bankrolled democratic politics
in the Bay Area, and his aunt married Nancy Pelosi's
brother in law. But Newsome tells the story of his
mother motivating him blah blah blah after graduating in nineteen
(05:13):
eighty nine from the University of Santa Clair after a
fake baseball career. He was a legacy who was admitted
only because he was from a rich family. Really, yeah,
oh yeah, his baseball career was fake. I've heard about it,
but yeah, yeah, yeah. He claims that he was a
baseball scholarship admit blah blah blah, But no, he never
played these I don't even think he's listed on rosters, okay,
(05:34):
something like that.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
So he was doing that before it became popular or
well known.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's probably been popular forever, but oh forever. Oh wow, Okay,
the Getty family got him in. We're all the way,
we all fall short sometimes after Now, granted, he has
also struggled with dyslexia his whole life, and I would
never mock anybody for that. You know, he is pursuable.
Get your b's and ds straight. Wow, Wow, that is
so wrong. After graduating in eighty nine from the Universe
(06:00):
Santa Clair, he launched a wine shop and restaurant business
bankrolled by the Getties in nineteen ninety six before turning
thirty and dowso got to start in politics when Willy
Brown named it him to San Francisco's Parking Commission, you know,
because of all of Gavin savvy and expertise on parking.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So the next year Brown gave Newton, but he didn't
have to sleep with Willy Rown.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Not that I know of. The next year, Brown gave
Newsom a vacant spot on the Board of Supervisors, etca,
et cetera. And it's a very Kamala Harris esque rise.
If you get California, if you get tagged by the
powerful in certain cities in certain states, man, you're.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You are really set. I mean, you have to go
out of your way to screw it up.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, yeah, well said so. Shifting over to something Jeff
Blair wrote for The National Review, he comments on the
conversation Gavy Boy had with Charlie Kirk that made waves
by conceding that there's unfairness in men competing in women's sports.
Anybody would half a brain knows that barely. The Supreme
(07:03):
Court of Britain just ruled unanimously that no, you're not
a woman just because you declare yourself a woman. Anyway,
but Jeff points out that there have been multiple opportunities
for Gavin to turn that belief into influence or legislation
(07:24):
or a rule or anything in California since that conversation,
and it's just absolutely disappeared. He has had multiple opportunities
to say, hey, remember why I said that's unfair. But no,
he is a politician with an extremely close eye on
which side his bread is buttered, as Jeff pointed out,
(07:46):
and he also says, remember this is the guy who
appointed the president of Emily's List. That's the big lefty fundraiser,
a resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, to phill Diane Feinstein's
vacant Senate seat for a year because he knows exactly
whom he wants to owe him favors when the time comes. Anyway,
that's just a little more about Gavy than I move
(08:07):
on to this drill, baby drill, and Gavin's hair. Alicia here,
I laughed. Alicia Finley of The Wall Street Journal wrote
a great piece that, you know, I wish we had
time to just read the whole thing. The title is
California keeps declining and Newsom tries to blame Trump. Say
(08:29):
this for Gavin Newsom, He's a master of misdirection. California
is losing jobs fifty four thousand, eight hundred during the
first three months of this year. That's right, almost fifty
five thousand jobs. Valero this month announced plans to close
a major refinery portending gasoline shortages and price bikes. Insurance
and electricity rates are soaring. Fifty four percent of Californians
(08:51):
say things are going generally in the wrong direction, which
is up fifteen points to see became governor. But by
his telling, everything in the Golden State is going swimmingly,
or was until Donald Trump started his tariff barrage. And
one interesting factoid within this article, which is one of
the more intelligent and effective takedowns a gavvy boy that
(09:14):
I've read in a long time. They point out that
Gavin was just boasting that California last year overtook Japan
to become the world's fourth largest economy. California is and
just keep it pace with the world. We're setting the pace,
he tooted. While we celebrate this success, we recognize that
our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of
(09:36):
the current federal administration. Were't no fans of the tariff
policies around here, But Alicia points out that a tortoise
can beat a snail, but that doesn't mean it's fast.
Japan's sluggish growth, weakened currency, and relatively low inflation over
the past several years allowed California to surpass its nominal
gross domestic product, But it's a economy. California's economy grew
(10:01):
at half the pace of Florida's over the last five years.
Didn't know that. And here's the really interesting part. And
I tweeted about this the other day because people don't
get this. If your like average income is in country
A is seventy five thousand dollars a year, and country
B it's ten thousand dollars a year, well you're going
(10:24):
to assume immediately that country B is downtrodden in a
horrible place to live. But if the average home in
country A is forty thousand dollars and it's fifteen hundred
dollars in country B. It's a very different, you know, adjustment.
So interestingly, this isn't exactly an indictment of Gavin Newsom.
I just find it an interesting fact. The Golden State's
(10:47):
GDP would rank eleventh in the world when adjusting for
purchasing power. Oh wow, that according to a report by
the California Center for Jobs in Economy.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
That is something I have explained to people ever since
I moved to California about salaries, because I've known people
who came to California because they're gonna pay, you know,
multiples more than they were making for the same job
in whatever state they were in. And I point out, well,
let me explain you how much more expensive it is
to live here. Right, You're purchasing power with the money
(11:19):
you're gonna make, And.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's Alicia's main point in this. Yeah, you're gonna earn more,
but your paychecks won't go as far. Filling up a
Jeep will cost you one hundred dollars. Charging a Tesla
is and much cheaper. Since California's electricity rates are double
the rest of the countries and continue to climb owing
to Newsom's reckless and idiotic climate policies.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I plugged in the cyberbeast the other day, and at
the end of it, I thought, that costs that much
to charge that up?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
What's the advantage here? Listen to this? Would you? After
all the rate hikes, nearly one in five households is
behind on their utility payments oof in California. To afford
a typical home in the state eight median sales price
eight hundred and eighty four thousand dollars. Wow, Californias need
(12:07):
to earn nearly two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Wow, it wouldn't have been that long ago. You'd have
thought even in California, let alone the rest of the country,
you have a nine hundred thousand dollars house. You're really
doing well. Now it says you're right in the middle.
There's as many people with more expensive as less expensive.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, and you're struggling to afford it. Many are increasingly
struggling to find works as employers layoff workers and move
jobs to more business friendly states like Texas. Since January
of twenty twenty, California has lost jobs in information about
fifty four thousand lost sixty two thousand jobs in finance,
lost forty nine thousand in professional and business services, lost
fifty nine thousand in leisure and hospitalities, and lost seventy
(12:48):
thousand jobs in manufacturing. There has been a bounce back
after a pandemic, but more industry has been losing jobs
since summer of twenty twenty two. But Gavy boy is
going to try to blame Donald J. Trump and blame
him all the way to the White House. There's more
in the more evidence in the prosecution of Gavin Newsome,
but we're out of time, and I think the point's
(13:09):
been made for now. More to come.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, and he's probably gonna run, so we'll get this
pay attention to that. Then we have a new wrinkle
in the Bill Belichick and his fifty year younger girlfriend's story.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And hot, I mean, that's that's just a bad head.
Unless you have the word hot in there, I'm not
buying your headline. Gotta have a picture of her in
her outfit when she was runner up and miss USA.
Rovo Hot, among other dollar pissed a lot other things
on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Twenty four year old Jordan Hudson his creative muse as
he writes in his book, Jordan was a constant presence
during our interview.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
to try to do what I feel like is best
for me and what's right. How did you guys meet?
Not talking about this?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
No, no, So that's the story. From CBS Sunday Morning
did a long interview with Bill Belichick, former football coaches.
Has nothing to do with sports. He's a rich, famous
old man. His girlfriend is fifty years younger, which is
a lot a literal beauty queen. Yeah, actual beauty queen,
(14:26):
and she kept interrupting the interview. The very confident, very successful,
very glib Bill Belichick apparently needed his twenty four year
old girlfriend to jump up when he was asked certain
questions and intervene so he wouldn't answer.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That is I'd be like me.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Jumping in if Joe's asking a question because I don't
think he can handle it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I mean, that's cra I might be offended by, Oh,
we're not talking about that, right, vice versa.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's just crazy, and so what is going on there
exactly now? Megan Kelly on her podcast called it elder abuse,
which might be the reason that they put out this
email just in the last couple of hours. So they
released an email in the last couple of hours. That's
(15:21):
Bill Belichick emailing a number of people about the rollout
of his book, which is what the interview is about,
and how unfair the media coverage is and they're focusing
on the wrong things in the book and blah blah blah.
It's unclear as to why they put this email out.
It's not connected to the controversy. The controversy is your hoty,
young girlfriend decides what questions you can answer, and how
(15:44):
that just seems weird.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You're the guy who isn't intimidated by anything, right, pays
fines in the NFL rather than answer questions he doesn't
want to answer, and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
So now you've got this young girlfriend. So I guess
that's why Megan Kelly claimed held her abuse, like is
he not capable of taking care of him? And he
so anymore? And here's Greg Guttfeld's joke about the relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Finally, Bill Belichick's twenty four year old girlfriend was criticized
for repeatedly interrupting his interview on CBS Sunday Morning. She
also pulled the plugs of several cameras, which she called
practice for later.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's what a bell. That's one of gutfells better jokes. Joke.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, I don't so nobody knows why they put out
this email. It doesn't it doesn't address the her interrupting
unless this was like the show. See he's still got
his mental faculties. Look how detailed this email is. I
don't know what's going on there. And she said she'll
have a full statement later today about the CBS thing.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Okay, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I mean, nobody really cares. It's just kind of an
interesting gossip.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Issue statement about your previous statements. Nobody can figure out
why you stated them. She always dresses like super hot.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I mean, she doesn't downplay the fact that the why
he might be with her again.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Really admirable level of physical fitness for that young lady.
I congratulate her. Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
On India's streets. Anger at Pakistan is burning, India is
flexing military muscle at sea. Pakistan warrns of war if
India threatens its water supply. One of the deadliest attacks
in years, an Indian administered Kashmir gunman opened fire on
sightseers in the remote mountain valley of Pehelgum twenty five
(17:39):
Indian citizens and an appal national dead. Police on the
Indian side named three suspects, claiming two are Pakistani nationals.
They link the attack to a Pakistan based Islamis group
called lush garay Tayabah. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif denies
any involvement.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That's interesting. So I had.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
A Pakistani uber driver in San Francisco on Saturday night
and I brought this up. I asked him, Mari he
was from. Very interesting young dude, really a go getter,
I could tell. And I asked him, Mari he's from?
And he said Pakistan? And I said, well, boy, are
you and India going to go to war? He said, now,
(18:22):
We're not going to go to war. We do this
every so often. They sell patriotism. They both have reasons
now and then to get everybody else stirred up again
to cover up various other stories, he said, like, for instance, Mody.
You probably haven't heard this, but one of the people
that was trying to run against mody Is got thrown
in jail and it was turning into a big story.
So now this is happening, said, this happens on both
(18:43):
sides all the time, and we've just gotten used to it.
And I said, well I've and I don't know how
much is this chorre now. I mean, he's just a
regular guy, and he could have warped political views just
like anybody you know could, or being misled by his
own bubbled media.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
But I brought up the I said, well, I've seen
that whole thing at that one gate that they do
every night, like at sunset, where the Pakistani guards.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
In the India.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He said, yeah, that's my hometown. I said, it's a
right by where I live. It's like two miles from
my house.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh wow. So if you've never seen this video, you
should look for it on YouTube. It's something. There's a
bridge that goes over a little river.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
It's a border between Pakistan and India, and they have
soldiers on each side and they huff and puffin like
glare at each other and slammed the gate closed and
say various things.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
He said, but it's all very ceremonial, like they march looking.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hanged right, agitated, Yeah, right, he said, they just they're
selling patriotism to tourists and people in their own countries
to keep us all, you know, fired up about our
own countries. It's all just fake for the politicians. And
so that was his take on it.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Although somebody slaughtered all those poor tourists.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
True, and like years ago when that horrifying Islamic mob
I think from Pakistan went into that big ho hotel
in I call it Bombay and slaughtered all those people.
I mean that was real obviously hundreds dead. Yeah, but
(20:11):
prize me that on a semi regular basis, you do
a little dust up if it's of convenience to either side.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, there are certainly Islamist mobs and Hindu mobs
who are trying to get rid of the Muslims who
you know, commit terrible, terrible crimes and provide you an
excuse to fire everybody up. Yeah, I don't think it's
probably like false flag operations, But.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Different topic on this dude. Let's just ask him how
why he came here or how he likes the United
States or whatever. And he likes it, and he likes
the culture of getting ahead and succeeding and doing things
or coming up with an idea and everything He said
that doesn't exist in his country, said.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Everybody wants to be It's funny Americans are trying to
squash that. But back to you, I know he didn't
white supremacy, does he that Pakistani man understand he's part
of white supremacy. The idea of that ambition and working
hard will get you ahead is white supremacy, and he
is how insidious I hate it.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
He was really happy that San Francisco had cleaned up
the homeless situation, which they have by the way, if
you haven't been into the like shopping areas of San
Francisco lately, he was happy that they'd really cleaned it up,
and how it was damaging business and all that sort
of thing. He didn't throw out a single I feel
so bad for those drug addicts. But he's talking about
(21:32):
how people in the Middle East, he said, we have
a different view in Middle East. Everybody wants to be rich,
but nobody wants to accomplish anything. I'm using his words.
I don't have any idea to what extent this is true.
You know, maybe society is structured in such a way.
I mean, mobility is difficult in most countries. You can't
like go out and start a business and get ahead
(21:53):
very easily. AnyWho, he said, everybody wants to show off
how wealthy they are. He said, it's so such a
big deal where I'm from to if you have an iPhone,
you carry it in your front pocket and you put
enough stuff in your pocket so that your iPhone sticks
up out of your pocket so people can see the
lens to make sure that they know you have an iPhone.
I thought, wow, it was an interesting flex. And then
(22:15):
he talked about his wife's from Dubai, and he said,
even in Dubai, he said, you know what it costs
to have to He said, like the most expensive car
you can buy in the world is like eight million dollars,
he said, but if you want to be impressive in Dubai,
you have to spend sixty three million dollars. That's what
license plate number one costs. The rich people buy the
(22:39):
most expensive license plate, the higher the number of the
rich you are. So license plate literally number one. So
you're driving around a car I'm sure, a very expensive car,
but has license number one on it. It's just a flex.
It's no purpose other than the show how rich you are.
He said, Like number five is like forty eight million dollars.
Everybody knows this because that's the whole point is to
(23:01):
show how you wealthy you are, which is, yeah, we
wouldn't do anything. I mean, we do tawdry obviously, there's
a lot of tons of conspicuous consumption and everything like that, but.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Not at that level. I mean, that's I mean, that
is one hundred percent pure.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You might as well just I don't know why you
just don't have a website where people can go look
at your bank account.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
You know. That is I'm trying to think of other,
you know, manifestations of that urge that I'm familiar with,
But no, that's the most egregious one I've ever heard
of in my life. I think you can go farther
than that. If I'm Mark Zuckerberg wearing an eight hundred
thousand dollars watch that nobody knows is an eight hundred
thousand dollars watch except other super rich people. That's just
(23:48):
eight hundred thousand dollars, I mean next to a sixty
million dollar license plate. Please, that's that's a silly little babble.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, Bezos's yacht, which I think was like a quarter
dollar I mean that that. That's pretty conspicuous consumption. And
it's not because he needed a yacht that big. He
wanted to have the biggest yacht. But man, that's still
pales in comparison to I have license plate number two
(24:16):
and you can look it up. It's because I spent
fifty six million dollars. It's crazy, isn't that what an
interesting culture to me?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
License Plate number two is the first loser. Yeah, if
you're not the lead dog, the view never changes. You know,
this is funny. I'm googling google most expensive yacht, but
I haven't gotten past most expensive. First thing that pops up,
most expensive Pokemon card, then most expensive car, watch, lego set,
(24:48):
and baseball card.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's funny, Anus Wagner, isn't it the most expensive baseball card?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm sorry? What was that name again, Honus swag there, oh, homeless?
The most good Lord. The most expensive yacht ever built
is the History Supreme, with the staggering price tag of
four point eight billion dollars. This yacht is owned by
Robert Kuaki, Malaysian businessman known for its extravagant design and materials.
(25:22):
I'll bet it is, yes, but there's something.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
There's something awful about it being just the license plate because.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It's more on expensive yachts after this rans and I.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Think part of it is practically everybody unless you're Saint
Francis of Assisius, aspires to more wealth and then perhaps
more stuff. Although I've told my kids a bunch of
times they get they always ask me, what would you
do if you won the lottery when it's a billion dollars? Said,
I don't think I would change really anything, And.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I got you lack imagination, sah, I get pretty much
all the stuff I want. I don't know i'd buy
myself this four point eight billion dollar yacht. It appears
to be entirely gold plated. I'm not kidding, but so.
It also features a statue made from Tyrannosaurus rex bones
and a liquor bottle adorned with eighteen and a half
(26:20):
carrot diamonds. Oh my, you know what, that's a little
showy for my tastes. T rex bones? Good lord, just
you know, whip it out and lay it on the table.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Well exactly, why not just have a website? Here's you
can go. Look at my bank account. Now it goes
up every day at least with the stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Watch house, boat car.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
I feel like there's one one degree better aspiring to
own that than just have the higher number lower number
license plate.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I mean that is just nothing. Well right, I mean again,
dollars per I mean, obviously, if I have a solid
twelve hundred dollars watch, you're not telling time any better
with your million dollar watch than me.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, but you could, well you can, but you could
admire the craftsmanship of a million dollar watch, like, yes,
the intricacy of the parts, that's usually what they are.
They are incredibly complicated that have to be made by
by by by.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Artisans, et cetera, et cetera. The same with aesthetically placing
in a way that you find delightful. Boyeah, you could
at least make the case.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
As artistic value to it on some level will be around,
you know, centuries from now probably and go. You know
the boat, you know, I don't know the view you
come right on the water on a boat, you got
a basketball court. Whatever. The license plate is nothing, it's
it's entirely I'm better than you.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I mean, it's just nothing else but that. No, it
has zero function, zero esthetic appeal, zero anything.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Anyway, That was his point that that's the culture in
the Middle East that he doesn't feel like exists in
the United States to a certain extent.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
That's true. I don't know, it's it's an interesting one. Yeah,
I can't find bezos yacht. I thought I saw his
picture in Thish. Oh there's you know, it's funny. I'd
forgotten completely that we were talking about your Pakistani friend.
But yeah, that is that is an astonishingly disgusting, you know,
just thing to exist Jeffrey Bezel. I mean it takes
(28:47):
gratuitous to another level. Yeah. Oh that's a video. That's
no good. Oh, there we go. How much does Jeffrey
bezos yacht cost five hundred million dollars to build? That's
a nice yacht. It's a nice boat though. It's very
very pleasing lines to it. Too bad he can't get
a T shirt the right size. I guess they spent
(29:08):
all his money on his yacht. Maybe he ought to,
you know, click on Amazon and get an Excel or something.
You'd think he'd know how anyway.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh and two, Yeah, the the iPhone thing. I mean,
I assume iPhones are per capital way more expensive. It
is a more but that's something you gotta have. It
sticking out of your pocket.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah yeah, it seems pathetic, but we do. We do
versions of that, it just just not quite as gratuitous.
Yeah yeah, do you have neck pain? I might be
able to tell you why without a physical exam, although
if you'd like one, give me a call. I'll swing
by your place.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I know a few people who seemed to be the
source of the pain in my neck, or at least
I've said that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
We'll finished strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Katie Vance was one of the last people to see
Hook France is alive, having a meeting within the day
before he died.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
This pope had literally touched lepers, He drank sewage water
in slums and survived.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Ten minutes, ten minutes talking with JD.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Vance, and the Pope is like, God, check, please, God, God.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I can't. I can't do it. I've been celibate eighty
eight years.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
This is the longest ten minutes of my life.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
An unfair portrayal of the last moments of the Pope
from the leftist comedian John Stewart, Right, you can get
to your neck pain or this story. Lawyers for Mike Lindell,
the my Pillow Guy, slept on one last night, his
(31:10):
lawyers could face discipline after admitting to filing a court
document generated by AI that was rife with errors, including
citing legal cases that do not exist.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I must say, without having a very strong opinion on
Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy, he did have an
odd demeanor when I met him at the convention and
tried to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, he's a quirky fellow, no doubt, an amazing success story.
He seemed very distracted as I tried to engage you.
He's looking for a bigger name, probably, and who can
blame him? So your neck pain is probably from staring
at your phone. Six hours of sedentary behavior day linked
(31:58):
to neck pain, most particularly in partically in particularly small screens,
because people tend to sit hunched and bend their necks
and slouch their shoulders when using the device. According to
a recent study, compared with not engaging in sedentary behavior,
(32:24):
sitting four hours a day increase the risk of neck
pain by forty five percent. For periods exceeding six hours
a day, the risk of neck pain is nearly eighty
eight percent greater than for non sedentary individuals. I think
we think of exercise making a sore. Not exercising is
what really makes us sore. What did we do and
(32:44):
what that long ago?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
What did we do with those four to six hours
per day when we before smartphones?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
What were we doing?
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Not like we were building log cabins. It wasn't that
many years ago.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
I was watching TV, flipping through people mag.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yes, I was behind an OX team myself those six
hours a day.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Thought, here's your hosts for final thoughts, Joe Kin, let's
get a.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap things
up for the day. There he is, pressing the buttons.
Michael Angelow in the control room. Michael, what's your final thought?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Okay, miche Yeah Michael, Michael, you're not answering that. I
love it. Very well done, not talking about that. Go ahead, Michael,
if she'll let you. My final thoughts is I would
rather have a raft with a hole in it than
all the problems of a billionaire yacht. There you go,
(33:51):
There you go. It's something to say, so she could
interrupt me. It's sweet, beautiful, it came together beautifully. Katie
Greener esteemed to use woman as a final thought.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I'll never forget when my parents were going to get
their house painted and something on the boat broke, So
my mom looked at my dad and went, well, I
guess we're not getting the house.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Painted now, are we? How much the damn things cost? Wow?
He knew the deal, Yes, Jackie.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Final thought for us, Yeah, Tomorrow the GDP numbers come out,
and it's expected that it will show that we shrunk
as an economy. And if that's the case, I think
it's going to be a really really big news story.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So hopefully it'll turn out to be wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
My final thought is I wish we'd gotten to the
Shador Sanders prank call case because it was a very
bad thing to do, and then a very good apology.
Do I think we could all learn from perhaps tomorrow?
I didn't hear that? Really interesting? If Armstrong you Getty?
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, so many people to.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Think, so little time. Go to Armstrong and Getty dot
com hot links. Pick up some ang swag for your
favorite a g fen even if it's you hoodie, your
T shirt hat. We'll see tomorrow. Bless America. I'm Strong
and Getty. That was even dumber and more annoying than usual.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Are you whatever, mofo.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
One final message I've said at this point twice, at
this point, at this point even I think you've sufficiently
covered at what point we're at. Yes, we are at
no other point than this, clearly so. Concluded by remarks
thank you all very much, Bye bye are I'm strong
and Getty
