Speaker 2 (00:19):
Armstrong and Deciding and he.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Arms who live the from studio see see Senior Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Didn't we let Rome put them the bowels of the
Armstrong in getting communications compound cameras everywhere in case anybody
tries to kill themselves or do anything, or somebody tries
to sneak in and strangle us. Right, we'll have it
on tape. Neil and Jersey Witz is standing by, and
today we are under the tutelage of our general manager,
Jeff Bezos. Although in a greater sense, the free Market
(01:02):
today is a very special birthday, which we'll tell you
about in a couple of minutes. Okay, cool, I want
to hear that. That sounds fantastic. The free Market is
a superhero. It makes Superman look like I wish I
had a punchline. But the point is it's incredibly impressive.
My god, the good it's done. It's lifted humanity, it's
(01:24):
healed the sick, it's lifted the lame. It's it's it's
it's done all sorts of good stuff, lifting the blame yeah, lifted.
The idea is that people think, yeah, we got to
get rid of capitalism, we got to have socialism. Man,
you people are ignorant, just to a degree which I
cannot explain. You have no idea, how little you know? Well,
(01:47):
I told you when we were in New York City.
I took a picture of my kids in front of
the New York Stock Exchange there on Wall Street and
talked about it. This is the most important thing probably
in America right here. This, This is why we're so
rich and so powerful, because we unleash humanity to go
out and do what it can do in a way
that other countries never have. That's why we're the most
(02:07):
powerful country that's ever lived. This right here Wall Street.
The free market and every exchange is voluntary. It has
to satisfy both sides or everybody does something different. The
incentives to be better never end in the free market
when government, they don't exist. One thing that I really
(02:29):
appreciate that my son, who is in a private school,
that they talk a lot about that that I never
ever heard ever in my life, even back in the day.
I don't think we ever talked about the free market
and its importance in public school. I don't remember it
all right. This is something I think a lot about,
the evolution transition from it's assumed everybody gets why liberty,
(02:56):
including economic liberty, is so important. It's what the country
was found it on. We sing songs about it, we
have festivals about it. Everybody loves it and everybody knows it.
And then that next phase was those who would overthrow
all of it, teaching the kids to you know, not
love liberty and to think that this is a bad
country blah blah blah, and a lot of us were
(03:17):
asleep at switch and didn't understand that. No, no, you
need to pass this on to your children overtly. It
doesn't just happen by osmosis. You have to teach them.
And I think now we're into that third phase, which
is what you're describing, where whether it's people like us
or the great people and I salute them at your
son's school, are saying, no, we need to help people
(03:37):
understand capitalism isn't like greed and exploitation, it's the opposite. Yeah,
we should. Let's get to the opening clip, just because
it's such a good discussion. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty.
Welcome to Wednesday, July sixteenth, the year twenty twenty five.
Were armstrong and getting. We approve of this program. Let's
leap into action then immediately, according to FCC rules and riggs,
(03:58):
here we go at Mark.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Jeff Bezos, and the founder of Amazon dot Com three
years ago, came across the startling statistic the web usage
was growing a twenty three hundred percent a year. So
I decided I would try and find a business plan
that made sense in the context of that growth, and
I picked the books as the first best product to
sell online because there are more items in the book
(04:20):
category and there are items in any other category by far.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Interesting that was thirty years ago today, Michael, correct, Wow,
because I always remember that. For jeez a decade, the
laughing story on economics was always Amazon, which still has
never turned a profit. Jeff Bezos, who nobody knew his
name at the time, continues as primer cool. Yeah, yeah,
(04:44):
so I didn't realize that he I'd never is there
a book. There's got to be a book about Amazon
and how it got started in growing at Amazon dot com,
if you'd like. I didn't realize he started with books
just because it was such a broad category with the
expectation of going to other fans. But I mean, has
there ever been a more amazing free market? You couldn't
(05:07):
start that anywhere else in the world, but in America's
story than Amazon, and then the way it changed everything
and you know, including some things that a lot of
us would would call negatives. Right, But that's that's the
thing about the free market is because no one controls it.
There are things that you don't love, but don't succumb
(05:31):
to the temptation to say, therefore I should be in
charge of it, or the people I vote for should
be in charge of it and take the.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Winners and losers.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And it's tough because the like if you're talking about
the negative of your local bookstore going away, I hate that.
But then at the same time, I can get any book,
any version of any book, any translation of any book,
softcover or hardcover, probably to my house if you live
in a city today, if you don't live in a
city tomorrow, that's pretty freaky handy. Yeah, it's amazing. And
(06:02):
the charm, the tradition, you know, whatever words you want
to describe to you know, to evoke the things that
have changed that you kind of miss I totally sympathize
with that. But you know, John the hog Butcher, Noella
hog Butcher's a little specific, but you know your neighborhood.
(06:23):
Butcher was charming and funny and the rest of it.
He was supplanted by grocery stores that had much more volume,
much more variety. That sort of thing just nothing lasts
forever in the world of economics, and you have to
find that satisfaction in other ways, in other places. But
and it reminds me very much about the discussion of
(06:45):
democracy and that it's the worst system except for all
the rest that have ever been tried. Yeah, capitalism, or
as I prefer call the free market, it has some downsides,
but man, the alternatives are horrific. I'm not even willing
to present them as outside. It's just part of the process.
If I understand why it feels like a downside. I'm
in an industry that's going the wrong direction because other
(07:06):
things are changing and there are new things coming about. Yes, uh,
I hate that, But you know what do you How
would you stop it in a way that wouldn't destroy
the whole, you know, everything we've just been talking about.
You'd need a time machine for one thing, just regulatory wise.
Although what's interesting about our business is that while the
deregulation radio, which was a terrible idea, took place and
(07:30):
changed the industry forever, the advent of the internet and
podcasting and the rest of it would have brought that
cataclysmic change. Anyway, Yeah, that's funny. I talked to my kids.
So we were in Key West. My son is on
a bunch of different medications and somehow, oh, we decided
to stay extra day. That's what it was.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
In me.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I just counted out the pills. I didn't put an
extra one in there as a dope when we stayed
extra day and it needed an extra and needed a pill.
There was a CBS there in Key West, and talk
to my kids about I said, you know, there's certain
things about like a CBS coming in. I'm sure there
was a drug store here, mom and pop shop that
had been here forever and CBS came and drove them
(08:10):
out of business. On the other hand, we walked into
the CBS and they pulled up your prescription from three
five hundred miles away and handed me a pill in
like two seconds. Yeah, so yeah, you know that again,
the free market. It's it works his way around to
whatever generally, to whatever serves customers best. M not always
(08:30):
the best thing for you as the employee. There if
something new comes along at some point today, I hope
to get into this. Part of me thinks maybe we
grabbed Craig, the healthcare guru, to join us in this.
But you want an example of an unholy accommodation of
the free market, yet heavily government involved dynamics, the worst
(08:53):
sort of crony capitalism. It's our healthcare system. I mean,
that is a perversion of the free market that's just awful.
Doesn't serve patients. But it's so damn complicated, it's so important.
It's one of the frustrations of this job that I
wish we could help people understand our healthcare system and
what's wrong with it and what could be done about
it more effectively. But man, you'd need like two years
(09:15):
in a good, solid college, I think to really grasp
what's going on. Two years of classes. I mean, oof,
I know, oof, But there are people making a hell
of a lot of money and or getting a hell
of a lot of money from lobbyists. Because all of
us our eyes glazed and rolled up in our heads
when we try to think about it anyway, speaking of
the free market people who don't in Amazon again, we'll
(09:37):
have to talk more about that later the thirty year anniversary.
It's one of the biggest things in the history of capitalism.
Amazon is coming along. Wow, he's the fellow hamming his
weird wedding. I wish we hadn't we were off that week.
It was a week or fourth of July. I would
have liked to have talked about that more so strange,
I just don't understand that personality at all. Yes, you
(10:00):
have to be a certain sort of person that wants
to walk out of a building fifteen different times over
three days and have people applaud I'm intrigued by the young, scrappy,
innovative entrepreneur who builds something that becomes a phenomenal success
and then goes a little bit nuts. I mean, it's
(10:21):
a fairly common narrative, whether Howard Hughes or I don't
know a Hugh Hefner. There a thousand examples. It might
fit in with that golfer clip that we got. We're
gonna play later, Oh, Scott Scheffler, Yeah, believe it or not.
We're gonna play you some clips from a golf press conference.
It's a no reach for that, Doby. I suggested it,
(10:41):
so that should give it some credibility because I have
zero interest in golf, and I didn't know who this
guy was. Oh my god, he's the greatest golfer on
the planet. I wouldn't have known how if he walked
up to me and asked me for a dollar. He
is one of the eternal stars of the sport. His
name will be spoken in one hundred years. But I
liked what he had to say about the purpose of
life and that sort of stuff, as somebody has been
(11:02):
successful in their field. One of the things, speaking of
the free market, the opposite side of the free market
is communism, and the communist mayorro candidate is I'm Mamdi
is gonna be in Washington, d C. Today. He's trying
to build more democratic support since no big time Dems
have come out and supported him other than AOC. So
(11:23):
she invited him to DC and he's going to be
there and uh, and he's he he already today is
distancing himself from that whole globalized the Intifada thing that
he refused to contemnp barely right, barely, very weakly. Yeah,
but we'll have to talk about him later. I've got
all sorts of great Mum Donnie stuff. I'm Donnie. The
(11:43):
Kami Epstein continues to be a story. I don't know
if there's ever been a big story I get less
than this one. Okay, here you go. Uh, if you
can't beat them, join them. Here's your click baity joke,
Eddie tease. Mam Donnie's attorney breaks his silence. What he
(12:04):
reveals will shock you. Ma'm Donnie's attorney. Did I say, Mom, Donnie,
can I have a second take? Do we have enough
tapes there? Michael? Yeah, go ahead. Epstein's whole attorney breaks
his silence. He says, it's a completely different story, completely difference.
What he says will shock you. But now Speaker Johnson
(12:27):
is talking about Epstein and how they need to release
the files and what everybody wants to stay on the
right side of the hardcore. That that that's that subset
of MAGA that's super into this. Okay, the qan on set, gotcha. Well,
(12:48):
we will talk more about that and all these different
things coming up a little bit later. We got Katie's headlines. Next,
there most underappreciated story right now is those inflation numbers.
It was a little bit, but the key is if
it turns out this is the beginning of inflation really
(13:10):
growing because of the whole tariff thing. Like many many
economists predicted simultaneously, there was a notable lack of growth
in any industry that depends on illegal immigrants. I really
was interesting to read the Wall Street Journal just state that, Yeah,
there are serious sectors of the economy that depend on
illegal immigrants. That's the system we've built. I don't know
(13:33):
if America can handle another round of big inflation. I
can't imagine how we would react. Let's figure out who's
reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
All right, guys, well, speaking of inflation, starting with CNN.
US wholesale inflation was unchanged last month despite tariff rollout.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, we'll get more into this later, but there were
a lot of things that companies and businesses and importers
did preemptively when they heard their tariff's coming so that
they could put off the impact. And that period is
going to run out soon.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Go back to you from ABC Ukraine braces for Trump's
fifty day window amid escalating Russian strikes.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, putting isn't back and off. Wow, what his game is?
I don't know. His game might just be I'm trying
to take over Ukraine no matter what anybody says or does.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
From the Free Beacon, Israel begins talks with countries that
could take in Gossen's under Trump's plan.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Uh yeah, really interesting. Cleaning the House.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
USA today, nude photos for cash. Illegal immigrants go to
new lengths to raise funds to cover legal fees, like
only fans, Like only fans and go fund me.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So if you're a hot illegal and you get detained,
you go to only fans to ford a lawyer. Hey,
that's an interesting wrinkle. Hey, hey, it's the free market again.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
It is.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
From the Washington Post, the rich are pre selecting their
children based on their genes and calling it the future
of making babies.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Oh boy, oh boy, we got to get into that story. Boy,
it's a humanity. Don't buy any green apples, humanity. I
don't like your chances or green bananas.
Speaker 6 (15:29):
From the New York Post, gen z and millennial women
are now rejecting once trendy breast implants.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
And face fillers.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
This is called the glowdown trend, and they're dissolving lip
fillers and removing implants glow down.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I didn't know about the lip fillers. I knew that
the breasht implants where a like scene as like something
mom or Grandma did for the younger crowd. Not cool.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
From CBS News, women arrested for allegedly enticing Thai Buddhist
monks into sex and then blackmailing them.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Oh wow, ah, those poor lonely monks. They hadn't even talked,
let alone had sex.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
From study Fines, musical training may hold the key to
fighting age related brain decline.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh wow, you know that that rings true. There are
a number of different things you can do with your
brain that are difficult and frustrating, and that's the feeling
you're going for, because that indicates that you're actually helping
your brain. And finally, from the Babylon B.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Long line for bathroom as, there's only one fire hydrant
outside of furry convention.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Hilarious, hilarious, I get it. Animals p on fire hydrants, Yes,
sometimes some do, certainly dogs in particular. Yes. And if
you're a furry dressed as a dog. Be a funny
leap that you go out and peeing the fire hydrognolsis
because you're playing the part exactly right right, You're really
really taking it to the eighth degree. Some good stuff.
(17:09):
So I hadn't read what Epstein's lawyer, the famous famous
Alan Dershowitz, wrote yesterday. It's pretty interesting. Yeah, yeah, huh,
I'll be darned. Did he commit suicide with Helpwi Armstrong
and Getty?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I would say that, you know, these files were made
up by Tomy, they were made up by Obama, they
were made up by the Biden from you know, uh
we and we went through years of that with the
Russia Russia Russia hoax, with all of the different things
that we had to go through. We've gone through years
of it. But she's handled it very well and it's
(17:47):
going to be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible,
she should release.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
So okay, we're about to get into more of what
Trump said yesterday, which has it's I have no idea
if this is important or not. I lean toward thinking
it's not. I think mainstream media is making a big idea,
a big deal out of this because they see division
in magaworld and they got nothing else to attack Trump
(18:12):
on because things are going his way right now. Well,
and they've shown great the lights through the years in
portraying anybody on the right as a whackydoodle conspiracy theorist,
even when the truth was one hundred percent on our
side see COVID in its many aspects. Thankfully, it's just
luck that I happen to know a couple people too.
I mean, actually too. I only know two in my
(18:34):
whole life, or at least they have said it out loud,
but that I know a couple of people who actually
were voting for Trump mainly because there is a child
pedophile ring run by the powerful in politics and business
in this country that's been going on for decades, hundreds
of thousands of children being trafficked around the world, and
(18:55):
it needs to be stopped. That was the main reason
they voted for Trump. Wow. And it's all around and
Jeffreys Epstein is the key to it. He was a
masaon agent blackmailing people blah blah blah blah. And so
with that being said, this next chunk that Trump said
is a pretty big shot at that crowd here.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
We go, well, I don't understand why they would be
so interested. He's dead for a long time. He was
never a big factor in terms of life. I don't
understand what the interest or what the fascination is. I
really don't. And if the credible information has been given,
don't forget.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
We went through years of the Muller witch hunt and
all of.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
The different things to steal dossier which was all fake.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
All that information was fake. But I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Why the Jeffrey Epsy case would be of interest to anybody.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
It's pretty boring stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
It's sorted, but it's boring, and I don't understand why
it keeps going.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I think, well, really, only pretty.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like
like that gud.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But credible information. Let them give it.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Anything that's credible, I would say, let them have it.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now. I have no idea how many thousands or millions
of people their maga inclinations are driven by the child
pedal ring thing that they that you believe if you're
listening right now, But Trump calling it the same as
the Russia hoax that was perpetrated, and it's boring and
(20:32):
you and it's bad people that are trying to keep
this alive. I don't know how that lands. Yeah, I
don't know about driven by, but I was really struck
by the unanimity of the reaction at that turning point
USA gathering that we played the audio of this week,
where very speakers said, are you satisfied with the Jeffrey
Epstein outcome?
Speaker 5 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I mean they went crazy again. I think it's worth
pointing out that that was a young crowd, and of
course it's young people that tend to be into this
story because it's an entirely online story. It wasn't being
reported anywhere else. If you watch if you read newspapers
like actual newspapers, and watch TV news like anybody over
I don't know, forty five or fifty years, maybe including
(21:16):
aggressive conservative outlets, they.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Weren't covering this at all.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
You would be, like, I use my parents as an example,
have to be completely unaware of this story, that it
exists at all, the pedophile ring. However, if you're younger
and you get all of your news online and zero
of it from mainstream media, this is a giant story
for you. I guess, yeah, yeah, you know, it's funny.
I was just thinking about one of the hallmarks of
(21:44):
these things is that everything they say is unfalsifiable. And
the reason that thought popped up is I was a
picture and Charlie Kirk himself the other day we played
the audio I should ask for it, came out and said, yeah, yeah,
I'm not going to talk about this anymore for now.
Now I trust the people within the administration. He got
a call from Donald Trump who said, hey, this is
(22:05):
really a distraction and screwing up the good things we're doing,
and so Charlie said, okay, I won't talk about it anymore.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
The question pops up if it was a cabal of
evil child predators and he was one of the brave
crusaders against it, and all it took was a single
call from Trump to flip him, what's missing there? But
then the answer would be, well, they got to him,
they got to him. Well, he changed his tune a
little bit in the last twenty four hours from that though,
(22:34):
And I don't know. I think it's because, well, well,
go ahead. I think because he recognizes his audience, which
is the core of the mag of world that believes
the Epstein stuff, didn't like him saying that, and so
Rogan went on a rant yesterday on his show about
Trump's handling of the Epstein files the Trump Justice Department,
(22:55):
particularly about how they're covering it up. And then Charlie
Kirk put out a statement immediate credible action items, and
it's ten things DOJ should move to unsealed the Maxwell
grand jury testimony, bring a cost in for a full
interview to find out what he knew about Epstein working
for foreign intelligence. It's a whole list of all things
(23:15):
that he demands that the Justice Department does in terms
of getting to the bottom of this. I'll bet he
got a monster backlash, a monster from what he said.
He must have released the names of prisoners on the floor, Knight.
Epstein was murdered, overruled the prisoner privacy rules. So that's
I guess the idea that the prisoners were the killers.
(23:37):
I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. They're a handful
of these topics, whether it's the vaccine thing in general,
not the COVID vaccine, but vaccines in general and autism
or or this or what are a couple other examples
of the kind of out there, kind of fringy, sort
of on the right wing y ideas and just to
(24:00):
pull back the curtains a little bit. Whether it's Charlie Kirk,
or or or US or Laura Ingram or you know
any other commentator who's who's of the right, Generally you
have varying degrees of complete brutal honesty at all times,
and then it moves toward the other end. The other
(24:24):
extreme is complete pandering, enthusiastic, profitable pandering like Geno was
probably doing. Who's now the number two at the FBI
Department and cash Hotel? Yeah, absolutely they they made a
good money and I could name other people, but I
don't particularly want to get in the fight. I got
a tea time later. But in between those two extremes
(24:46):
are various levels of I don't want to run those
people off, even though I think they're wrong, or in
some cases even though I think they're nuts. Varying levels
of that. And what you're seeing from Charlie Kirk, who
was way down the road and I love a lot
of things that turning Point USA does. I mean, among
(25:08):
young people, I am thrilled with what they do. But
he was way toward the end of We're completely into this,
we're gonna promote it, We're gonna push it, and I
think most of it, ninety percent of it is complete
bunk personally. But now Charlie's in a difficult position because
(25:31):
you know, he got the call from Donald J. And
I think he knows precisely what he's been doing, and
he thought, all right, we'll rein it in a little bit.
But then he got on the wrong side of the
energy of his audience, and now he is scrambling backward.
It's interesting to watch anyway. So what's the highlight from
Dershowitz's letter, Alan Dershwitz, Maybe the most famous lawyer in
(25:53):
America was Epstein's lawyer. Yeah, the inside scoopon Jeffrey Epstein
is his lawyer. He rights. I know things that court
orders won't allow me to disclose ah bo bob because
it is privileged or a subject to court imposed sealing orders.
But what I can disclose makes several important things clear.
Epstein never created a quote client list. The FBI interviewed
(26:17):
alleged victims who named several clients. These names have been redacted.
They should be disclosed, but the courts have ordered them sealed.
I know who they are. They don't include any current
office holders. We don't know whether the accusations are true.
The courts have also sealed negative information about some of
the accusers to protect them. Neither the Justice Department nor
private defense lawyers are free to disregard court sealing orders.
(26:41):
The media can and should petition the courts for the
release of all names and information so the public can
draw its own conclusions. There have also been speculation about
incriminating videos taken by hidden cameras in Epstein's guest bedrooms.
There are videotapes, but they are of public areas of
his Palm Beach, Florida home. He reported the theft of
money and a license firearm from a drawer in his
(27:02):
living room, so the police installed the video camera. I
am not aware of video cameras in guest bedrooms. Then
he deals with the Trump relationship, but there's practically none.
It is clear from the evidence that Epstein committed suicide.
What isn't clear is whether he was assisted by jail personnel.
That's interesting if you're assisted in your suicide. I'm not
(27:24):
sure it was a suicide. Of course, yeah, it absolutely was,
one hundred percent, And this is what I've suspected all along.
In fact, I've said it on the air once or twice,
but it seems likely to me based on the evidence
of allegedly broken cameras, transfer of his cellmate, and the
absence of guards during relative relevant time periods. He was
(27:45):
a very rich guy who lived a life of debauchery
and pleasure and was going to live the rest of
his days in a cage eating crap food off a tray,
and so he decided to offer himself on very easy
thing to picture. Yeah, that's what I believe from the beginning.
But what does assisted in his suicide mean? They turned
(28:06):
a blind eye, They transferred to cell mate on they
didn't inspect to sell for long enough to let him die.
They wanted him to commit suicide, or knew he wanted
paid he paid them to. Well, I was about to
get there, yeah, I mean, anybody in the prisoner or
jail system can tell you people reach out to people
outside all the time. You know, there are guys who
(28:29):
run giant criminal gangs from jail. So yeah, Epstein was
able to get payoffs to guard. So you think your
current working theory is he paid a variety of people
to make it easier for him to kill himself essentially. Yeah,
interesting listen, I need you to not come by the
cell for an hour Thursday night, whatever. I'll make it
(28:52):
worth your while. Sure, wow, let's see. How about another
important point. I have absolutely no doubt that Epstein never
worked for any intelligence agency, says Dershawitz, who is a Jew. Exactly.
That's what the conspiracy to people would say. And there's
no comment I think needed on that beyond what we've
(29:14):
already said. Dershowitz goes on to say, though if he had,
he would surely have told me and his other lawyers,
who would have used that information to get him a
better deal. He wasn't satisfied with the so called sweetheart
deal he got, which required him to spend a year
and a half in local jail and register as a
sex offender. My sources in Israel have confirmed to me
he had no connection to Israeli intelligence. That false story
(29:35):
recently peddled by Tucker Carlson probably emanated from credible allegations
that Robert Maxwell, fatherte Epstein's former girlfriend Julaine Maxwell, worked
with the masade. That there's such a leap here and
we got to take a break. But then, we've talked
about this so much, but there's such a leap here
I don't get because it's I don't think this happened.
But it's possible that Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and you
(29:58):
know name, your big powerful person was at a party
of Epstein's and had sex with a seventeen year old,
either on purpose or not knowingly. That's possible and believable.
Wouldn't shock me completely. But even if that happened, how
do you make the leap to massade and everybody running
(30:18):
a child sex ring? Those are such different things. I
don't understand the good because that makes it a much
more exciting novel. But where's the evidence for that? I mean,
there is plausible evidence for the first thing I mentioned, right,
but zero for the next thing. Well, no, not zero,
just enough to sustain it. Just intriguing tidbits like her
(30:40):
dad worked with a massad. That's all you need to know,
to which I replied, no, that's not all I need
to know. My dad dealt with nuclear weapons when he
was in the Air Force. It's all classified, so I
don't know much about it. I don't know which end
of the nuclear weapon theyond button is. Haha, I don't know.
It says, come on, but folk believe what you want
to believe. We can still be friends. Hmmm, is this
(31:03):
only fIF turns out you're right, I will jump on
the air, I will turn on my microphone and I
will say I was wrong and you were right, and
nobody told us to say this. By the way, we're
not being paid or uh. Now that Trump's camp out
and called it boring in a non space, they threatened me.
They threatened that they would kick my dog if I
(31:23):
didn't stand up for Jeffrey Epstein. Now that Trump's called
it boring in a non story, does it go away?
I guess we'll watch out over the next twenty four hours.
We got mail bag on the way. Next. Nvidia is
the most viable company in the world. If you ever
want to answer a trivia question about that, the most
valuable company in the world as of a week or
so ago. The most valuable company up in the video,
(31:45):
it's worth four trillion dollars. Why didn't I buy stock
in that evening? Well it's too late now, said people.
Two years ago, a year ago, six months ago, four
months ago, two weeks ago, three days ago. Blah blah, blah,
keeps going up. Here's your freedom, loving of the day
from the great Thomas Soil, still celebrating his ninety fifth birthday.
My favorite thinker, certainly in your top five. Elections should
(32:09):
be held on April sixteenth, the day after we pay
our income taxes. That is one of the few things
that might discourage politicians from being big spenders. Yeah. He
probably said that long before we reach the point that
half of people don't pay taxes. Yeah. Yeah, it's a
good point. It's insidious but successful. Political strategy. Mailbag. Drop
(32:30):
us a no mail bag at Armstrong you Getty dot
com if you like, keep it as short as you can.
Let's see. On the topic of conspiracy theories, John says.
We talked about that a great deal in the fourth
hour of yesterday's show. If you missed it, grab it
by a podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. You should
follow us or subscribe. The one thing every human has
to understand is that human nature never changes. Slavery wars
(32:51):
a conquest. It's been happening for thousands of years everywhere.
It's really that simple. Hug your kids, live your life,
especially if you're born an American. I feel sorry and
have compassion for people in many countries they don't have
the protections and constitution that we have here. That's all.
I'm going to grab my last beer for the night,
spend tomorrow running around from job to job trying to
get crap done. Fortunately, my wife and kids and I
(33:13):
will go to bed feeling safe. I say that all
the time. You should think every day you live in
the United States, where there's zero chance a rocket is
going to rain in to your house today. Zero. Yeah,
that's not one of the most lots of places. One
of the most interesting things I've ever learned about psychology
is that human beings seem to have a set point
for how much they need to worry, and if they
(33:34):
have little or nothing to worry about, the invent things
to worry about because they have to have that. It's
part of our animal psychology. Let's see how about this
JT and Livermore. I agree with Joe that the best
way to discredit lefty ideas is to implement them, unless
it isn't take the teach. For the record, I don't
advocate implementing them. I'm just saying if they are implemented,
(33:56):
they will be the most scathing indictment possible of those policies.
But anyway. Take the teachers unions. They implemented their policy
of getting rid of phonics, the most successful reading program
in the history of the world, and replaced it with
an unproven whole word concept that created worse outcomes for
many many children. Man my kids lived through that era.
(34:17):
They were betrayed. They were seriously betrayed. While it did
expose the left's willingness to experiment with children's educations absent
any proof that their new and improved concept was better
than phonics, the price for exposing their stupidity was way
too high, only a generation of children that have lower
and worse reading outcomes. Or take Biden's open border policy.
It exposed the stupidity of the left's love affair with
(34:39):
the legal immigration, but at the cost of education, healthcare, culture,
to say nothing of the financial cost. Voting in Mamdami
in New York would be like those examples. Sure, it
would once again discredit the ideas the Left, but at
a cost that is simply too high. So I'd like
to amend your philosophy. The best way to discredit left
the ideas is to implement them, but only if they
can be confined to being implemented against left and only lefties.
(35:02):
Let liberals opt in for the whole world reading and
new math and restorative justice, but don't expect me to
fund their failures. Amen to that, brother Boo. Yeah, truth
p T for the win, as they say, truth Bob,
that's right. I was just watching a video on CNN
with China's best robots, the robot dogs and robot athletes,
(35:25):
which they're going to use as soldiers. Horrifying, absolutely horrifying.
We've got more to talk about.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty
