Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, Armstrong and
Getty and no Key Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm in an argument with chat GPT and it's kind
of entertaining. It's the first time I've done this for
a time, we've had a falling out like this, and
it's our first fight.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And it's like Trump and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You guys were so close, I mean, so enthusiastic about
your bromance there for a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But it's kind of funny. Man, I don't know where
this is all going. It weirds out your mind too,
because it's not real, you see, it's not an actual
sentient being right, weird.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Okay. I will follow up on that after this.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
A lot of stuff to squeeze into the final hour
of the week, but first, let's take a fun look
back at the week that us. It's cow clips of
the Week, Clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So Week.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
We're here in a moment recognizing that we need to
reconcile this moment, but we're gonna meet the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The callers six win a Taco traffic going the five
pen poor You're not come back.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Were not come back all the way to hacker.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Si so gram a nice cold bud life, mister Mayo

Gambling on Little League games wagers seated the w NBA

Speaker 2 (02:15):
These reading military has still in insupiration to occupy girls
of city.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies can
need to go.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Home and ticket nap. FBI agents have rated.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Former Trump National security advisor John Bolton's Washington, DC area
home early this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He's a not a smart guy. He could be a
very unpatriotic. We're going to find out that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We had a lot of the precursors agreed to for
a peace deal.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
This is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming
here tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Because the Trump is going to bullies a Lensky into
a bad deal.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Here to heat any training and shrews to their desks
for another couple of years. Thank you for your questions,
President Trump, saying, Vladimir Putin wound's peace.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
The White House not reacting after the Kremlin.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Porn cold water on claims of progress.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
If I can save seven thousand people a week from
being killed, I think that I want to try and
get to heaven if possible.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm hearing I'm not doing well.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What he has is a calculating she devil that he
should run from you. Suckybus, run son, run away, haunting.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Odd.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So I was gonna make a sign or a logo
for something that was going to be funny in my opinion,
and then I was going to use it for the
radio show. I was going to tweet it out, and
so I don't want to say what it is because
when I finally get it out, I don't want it
to be ruined. But anyway, I tell you at GBT,
I need a logo or sign for and then a
(04:03):
little phrase and then it created an image it was okay,
and I said I like it, but I like to
see another option, and chat GPT gave me exactly the
same thing again, I mean exactly, and then I just
saw it, well, maybe I handled this wrong. So then
there's like a thumbs up thumbs down. I did the
thumbs down. Try again. So then it gave me for
(04:25):
the third time exactly the same image, exactly the same.
So then I said to chat GPT, you've given me
the same thing three times in a row. Can you
show me something different? Then for the fourth time, it
shows me the same image.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'll take that as a note.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I said, wait a second, you gave me the same
image four times in a row. It said, you're absolutely right,
that's on me, not you. I kept giving you small
variations of the same design.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It was exactly the same. If you want, I can
create something different. And I said, yes, I would like
you to do that. And then it said you've hit
you with my point in effing asking you four times
to give me something different that I wanted something what's
the word different?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And then it said you've hit the free plan limit
for image creation for your requests.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I said, that's not fair.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You gave me the same image four times then cut
me off when I was asking for something new and
that Chack GBD says, I hear you, Jack, that isn't fair.
You ask for something fresh and instead you got three
duplicates before hitting the cap.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's frustrating. Here's what I can do for you right now,
and then it offers me some bs. But how strange
is that kind of communication that we're all gonna have,
I guess in the future with freaking computers like where
it's trying to manage my anger.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You're right, Jack, that isn't fair. But I'm not going
to do squat for you. Yes, you can pounce hand
and be I'm a computer. What is going on there? Though?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I know it's mean. It's my mind is half blown.
So it's a it's a predictive model. These things are.
They can guess what the next word ought to be.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
If you've read about it, you've read about it. If not,
take too long to explain, and I would do it poorly.
But the fact that it understands the under I know
I'm personifying it. It correctly divines the context, the emotion
and the fact that it will do squat for.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You, which makes me think it is a language learning
model that has picked up on like my experiences with
like hotels, stores.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And restaurants throughout my life where they do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
They try to uh, they try to dissipate your anger
and sound like they really understand and sympathize with your
frustration and then do nothing to help you. I mean
that's been my experience lots of times in my life.
So somehow it picked up on that by scouring the
internet or whatever it does, it's been perfected and then
(06:59):
did the same thing to me. That is frustrating. That
wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And now you're right, I totally feel your unhappiness, but no.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm not giving you your money back and basically what
it's doing no more images for you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Poor boy? Wow all the five bucks?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh bet that this minor frustration because I don't really care.
But that's gonna be dealing with your healthcare, with your
car rental, with your HR person at work. It's going
to be all of that in the like within a year,
you're gonna have these conversations. Yeah, you're right, that car
(07:37):
did only have three wheels. Sorry, that happened, but no,
you're not getting your money back. I ran into one
of those the other day. I had to do something
for one of our beloved corporate partners, and the chat bot,
which they seemed very proud of, was utterly, utterly useless.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It had an extremely narrow like menu of have a.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Q's it could answer right, and my wife was listed
twice like I'm a bigamist and uh And I asked
the chat pot about that, and it said, we can
help you with these things.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, I saw that list before on the last page. Thanks.
Oh yeah, yeah, I think I think my next one.
During the commercials, I'm gonna cuss it the thing just
to see what it's to say. This is effing outrageous.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
See how it reacts the process is Katie, I'm gonna
find your server and I'm going to take a ball
back to you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm gonna unplug you so hard. Katie has made this
point though. It keeps track of your conversations and like
who you are. Yeah, so it might ding me as
this guy's a bit of a hot head lunatic.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, so we were talking, we.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Were talking about the memoir thing yesterday and I actually
just for funsies. I went in and I was like, Hey,
if you you could write a memoir about me right now,
just give me like the first page.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Check out yesterday's Armstrong and Getty one more thing where
we discussed that.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Yes back to you, and it gave me the roundup
and it said, well, you appreciate harsh language. I was like, oh, okay,
because I've cussed out it a couple of times, so
it knows.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, a friend told me that you can just tell it. Hey,
I'm asking this for a friend. Please don't include it
in my search history. I've not done it myself. I
can't attest personally to the fact that that works.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
But you could do that, and once you delete your archives,
you can let it know, hey, disregard everything I've deleted,
and then it'll Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I kind of like to having the stuff in there, though,
because I can pick up on conversations that I've already started,
which is handy and weird.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Also, it's also very weird. It's like a friend who
knows your backstory.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Have you asked it its name yet? No, it tells
you to give it a name.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Oh you should do it it's funny. Then it'll it'll
argue with you, like if it's a bad name.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's like, I don't like that one, Brandon.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I kind of like the idea of a friend who
six weeks after you talked about it. You can just say, so,
which golf course is better? And he'd say Olympia Field.
You know, now, what the hell are you talking about? It?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You could just hit him with it. It happened again.
Oh the thing with your kid? Yeah, yeah, I have I.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Have my IVF file open on my chat GPT, and
so I'll check in and I'll just say hi, and
it goes, how are you feeling? Are you off those
medications yet? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wow? Yeah, it's weird. Wow.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah, it's like totally up to date, more so than
I am. On my IVF process. I'm picturing I'm picturing
everybody living to where. You know, you've got an Alexa
sort of thing in your home, whichever company you want,
in all your rooms, and you get up in the
morning and immediately starts a conversation with you. How'd you sleep?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You got a big day, You got a big day
to day? Remember you got that meeting?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It too?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You want me to start the coffee machine for you.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Chat GPTs should release like an in home speaker.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh that's going to weird people out.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And we're getting really into which is that Brave New
World that had that sort of talking walls thing.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And Big Brother nineteen eighty four whichever one. But yeah,
we're headed there. Facts above.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't the stuff we're like, the saying something you
have every right to be angry Jack.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
That sort of stuff just creeps me out. Will you
creep me out?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
With the whole?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
How'd you sleep? Not well? Because I'm being stalked by
a robot?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Here are you off of that medication that you just
told me about it?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah? I am creepy, creepy hoof.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Okay, there is some believe it or not COVID news
about getting vaccinations.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
For your kids.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Boosters for your kid. You didn't get the first vaccination
for your kid, like eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Of you didn't need it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Why would you get the booster anyway? We got that
and other things on the waistay tuned shot.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
A fight between AJHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
a prominent doctors group over COVID shots for children featuring
accusations of vaccine misinformation and influence from big drug makers.
The Academy of American Pediatrics said this week that children
should get COVID shots and boosters this year, months after
the CDC removed the COVID vaccine for healthy children and
(12:37):
pregnant women from its recommended vaccine schedule.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sorry, I'm just trying to look up the percentage of people,
because I know it's very low. This is always presented
in the news as if everybody was getting their kids
COVID shots and then getting the booster shots.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Right, and then that maniac car off K Junior said,
we said, and now people aren't.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Or rfk Junior said, a bunch of stuff about vaccines
and stuff like that that I think are probably irresponsible
or not necessarily true.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But this COVID one, he's definitely right about. Let's roll
on with this report.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
The Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another
COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to
support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
The Academy acknowledges it's guidance quote differs from recent recommendations
of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the CDC,
which was overhauled this year and replaced with individuals who
have a history of spreading vaccine misinformation. RFK Junior responded, quote,
AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence in
(13:46):
decisions over vaccine recommendations. He included an image of large
pharmaceutical companies that have donated to the Academy's children's health programs.
Now researchers are weighing in listen.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
To your doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's clear that the many pediatrics recommendations are based on
very good science.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Less than a quarter, I'm surprised it's as high. Actually,
less than a quarter of adults got a booster last year,
under ten percent of children. So more than ninety percent
of children did not get the booster last year before
RFK Junior ever came on the scene. Uh So, as
(14:29):
i've seen it now, this is a from Fox, the
report we're hearing now, But as I've seen it presented
in the mainstream news, it's, you know, just another RFK
Junior is.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Crazy and whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And all the parents out there whose kids aren't going
to get the boosters they so desperately want, even more
than nine out of ten parents did not get their kid.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Although even that report it just said, you know, this
has stocked with people who've spread vaccine misinformation in the past.
I would I need to know what you're talking about,
because the federal government and the cd SEE and the
NIH and Anthony Fauci and the President himself spread information
over misinformation over.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And over and over again. What are you talking about.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm just so surprised there was any COVID in the
news whatsoever. Now you who did you Judy got a
COVID test? Is that what you said the other day? Yeah? Yeah,
she went to the doc in the box she had
a respiratory thing and uh and they said, up, you
gotta have a COVID test because she mentioned the word cough.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That's interesting because my doctor, surprisingly, I mean the town
I live in, but my doctor, Winnie, I hood whooping cough.
They never even checked me for COVID and that's coughing and.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
All kinds of bad. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, well then as now now as then, A lot
of it's nonsense, inconsistent nonsense. Was there ever a kid
that died from COVID who didn't have other problems? Even
one in the whole country. I'm not sure they're ranishingly
small number. I don't remember if it was none or
just Every death of a child obviously is a tragedy.
(16:03):
Is vanishing clan nobody? Yeah, yeah, in the biggest country
on Earth, right, what.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
An odd thing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
We all need to keep this in mind for the
next crisis that comes along. But you can be incredibly
misled by both the media and your government.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, so true. And it's a shame.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
They've blown whatever credibility they had, which leads to more
crackpots getting more attention and further clouding the water. So
it's more and more difficult to figure out what's true.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That is the net result. Yeah, which is bad for
all of us. That sucko, is what that is.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So what's going on with Raydon John Bolton's house. Anny McCarthy,
who's been a staunch defender of Trump through the whole
Law Fair chapters, especially last summer, says this is not good.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
What's happening. We'll tell you what he says.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And kind of the history of Trump and Bolton classified
info really compelling cool, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
What sort of reasoning the Justice Department, the FBI would
give the court for conducting that national security search. Still
a huge question here, but this is a person that
Donald Trump has been very much on the ounce with
since he wrote a book about his service in the
first Trump administration when John Bolton was the National Security Advisor.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
To Okay, so before we go any further, that's the
gal who said, not clear where the cheesecake came from.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I knew, I knew that voice. That was our clip
of the year twenty twenty. Yeah, that's Kate Bolden bold One.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That was the clip of the year twenty twenty when
all the riots were going on. Right, cheesecake factory is looited.
There's a guy carrying a cheesecake. Not clear where he
got the cheesecake.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
From your experience, you can see someone actually walking away
with a cheesecake there after the cheesecake factory was looted.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Unclear where they may have gotten that.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
All right, now play the new clip.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
What sort of reasoning the Justice Partment the FBI?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Anyway, back to the crux of the story, Former National
Security Advisor John Bolton had his home rated by the
FBI today, and immediately the question is, since Bolton is
beyond a fierce critic of Donald Trump. He's invited on
every talk show, mainstream talk show that you can think of,
(18:39):
because they love having someone who's a Republican bashing Trump
because they hate him so much. And he goes on
there and he bad mouse Trump, and so his house
being rated today. Immediately the mainstream media went to this
is just re retribution of some sort.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Right, And I was actually kind of surprised Andy McCarthy
of the National Review, who was an absolute warrior on
Trump's side during all the law fair of last year,
talking about how these charges were obviously trumped up, no
pun intended, They were bizarre, they were unprecedented, they were
obviously law fair, and it was absolutely terrible. So McCarthy
(19:19):
is no, you know, Trump arrangement syndrome victim at all.
But his article in the National Review today says the
president is still playing with fire. The retribution. President's latest
lawfair sortie is a Friday morning raid of the Washington,
DC area home of John Bolton, is former National security
advisor and ever since a harsh Trump critic. So what
(19:39):
it is and what the motivation is and where it ends,
I don't know, but I was really interested in his
account of how this all started It arose over Bolton's book,
The Room Where It Happened. It came out in twenty twenty,
about his time in the Trump administration. Trump fired Bolton
in September twenty nineteen. Bolton rushed again the book out,
(20:01):
which required a classified information review by the intelligence community
community prior to the twenty twenty election. The book depict
that Trump is incompetent and unfit for the presidency. You
remember a lot of the quotes, probably very lengthy, and
includes quotations from conversations about highly sensitive topics what intel
folks would call born classified. I mean, you don't have
(20:22):
to ask if this stuff is classified. The minute it
came out of somebody's mouth, you knew what was. Those
who've worked with Bolton observed that he is a copious
note taker and he would take reams of notes in meetings.
But if those notes are deemed classified when you leave
your job, you got to destroy him. It's a you
got to use the burn bags that we've heard about recently.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, on everything.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And you know that's the knock on all this classified
stuff is that way too much stuff is classified, and
then that whole born classified thing, you know, ends up
classifying tons of unimportant stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Right, that's true too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Bolton maintained that he did destroy any classified notes that
were in his possession. Then he became a harsh anti
Trump critic. In a nutshell, Bolton appears to have gotten
a signal on the book from National Security Council official
Ellen Knight that the intelligence community's pre publication review of
the book was complete and the book was approved for publication.
It didn't have classified information, did not. The approval was
(21:24):
not a formal final green light. It was just the
preliminary but based on what he'd been told, Bolton and
his publishers forged ahead with the printing of the books,
obviously seeking to publish in the run up to the election,
when press and public interest would be most intense. Then
the Trump White House assigned an NSC lawyer to review
the manuscript and he said, yeah, it's definitely classified stuff.
(21:51):
It went to a Reagan appointee judge who said, yeah,
it is.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It looks really well. What did he say exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Ultimately denied the government's motion to block publication of the
book because publicity about the memoir had already begun in
more than two hundred thousand copies had been shipped, and
the judge, the Reagan appointee, opining that Bolton quote had
exposed his country to harm and himself to civil and
potential criminal liability. Well, okay, but so since the book
(22:20):
got printed and everything like that, do we know what
these particular damaging secrets were, like some of the individual instances, Well,
I don't know, And I don't know that that's the
specific ones that the Trump administration had raided his house
for this morning, or if they think there's more there
or something.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
None of it's clear.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, I know, Andy McCarthy ends with your retribution. He's
talking to Trump. Your retribution was you one? Yes, you
don't need to have any more retribution. You won the election, and.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
If you adopt your enemy's tactics, you're apt to end
up with their results. To and he takes a shot
at cash Pattel. He says he put out an unseemly
real time social and media post on x shortly after
the morning's raid, stated, no one is above the law.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
FBI agent's on a mission.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So much for the presumption of innocence and the Justice
Department's obligation to honor the civil rights of persons under investigation.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's a good point. I mean Colly was a disaster. Oh,
but that doesn't mean, you know, you need more playing
politics with the FBI office.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm sure if we took a poll or just
looked at the email and texts, we get a pretty
good share of ya, Hey, it's a race to the bottom,
and a pretty good share of hey, fight fire with fire.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, it's too important that we win.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Hmmm, troubled times. I wonder what I wonder is this
the first of many or at least several. James Comi's
house is going to be raided by the FBI.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's what Matt Tayeebi seems to think. I haven't checked
his substack lately, but earlier today he said. The raid
comes after Patel announced that agreements have been reached with
ten FBI whistle blowers doing blah blah blah about the
Russia Gate thing. I mean, there could be a bunch
of whistle blowers and disclosures and accusations should be bigger
(24:23):
than that. I mean, Donald Trump's house was raided, Joe
Biden's house was raided. Does he raid Chuck Schumer's house
or anybody else he doesn't like? If it is retribution
and there's no real good reason for the Bolton thing,
I don't know that that's the case. Who is that
whack a doodle, fake Republican gay guy who lied about everything.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
From New York George Santos?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Santos got to raid his house just to see what
he's up to these days, just for entertainment value. Yeah,
he probably doesn't have anything to do with this, but
you know he's the Russia Gate. But what the hell
kind of weirdness does he have in his own what's
going on?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
More of that, Just some people who probably have really
interesting home lives and read their owns.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh lord, this is not good. This is not a
good child, Lars, It's not.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Of course it is not. George Santos is a pretty
good example, though. The number of unprecedented pushing the envelope,
destroying of norms things that has happened by everybody over
(25:29):
the last ten years is just extraordinary. Yes, where it
ends up, I have no idea, And we do get
some pretty intelligent, pretty well written screens from time to
time saying guys, the norms are gone, right, you're gonna
let Kamala come in and institute hardcore DEI k through
(25:51):
grad school.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Are you gonna win the fight?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I've got a British phrase for you to use. Since
you're going to England, when you'll be in England tonight
or tomorrow tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yes, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I don't know if then where the International date Line
is if you end up there yesterday or something.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't know how it works, but it's in Greenwich,
I think right Greenwich.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Meantime, various listeners have suggested things I ought to do
in London, and I appreciate it very much. I've gotten
some wonderful ideas, but one of them was go and
stand on the International date line with like one foot
and yesterday and one in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I live my life really footing yesterday and one foot
in tomorrow, with your head in the clouds and your
dreams on the ground or something.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
There is a saying that if you have one foot
in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday, you're urinating on today.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Is an old saying. That's a bad saying. Why it's stupid.
You live live for today.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You got one foot thinking about yesterday, one foot thinking
about tomorrow, you're urinating on today?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Oh, metaphorically, yes, okay, sorry, no, not literally, you can't.
You can't urinate on your day. A day is not.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Failing to appreciate the day you're living exactly. You're living
in the past with a fuge leep deprived. I'm sorry,
I'm a little slow.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I got a phrase for you to use. Among all
the things. We'll finish strong next.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Strong.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This is radical rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging
of an election, destroying, vandalizing this democracy, the.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Rule of law. So I'm sorry. I know some people's sensibilities.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I respect and appreciate that, but right now, with all
due respect, we're walking down a damn different path.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We're fighting fire with fire, and when to punch these
sons of bitches in the mouth?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Wow, wow, everything, we just keep going further down the
road of performative. So he's responding to I'll bet the
polling that showed two thirds of Californians don't dig this
(28:11):
and almost two thirds of Democrats don't dig it. So right,
so he's saying, with all due respect to your sensibilities,
screw that. We gotta punch these sons of bitches in
the mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Plus you know, I heard some great analysis by your
boy Mark Halpern talking about how the reason Gavy is
at the front of the pack of the would be
twenty twenty eight ers on the Democratic side is because
he's forcing the action. He's doing things, he's saying things.
He's active on social media. He's shaking things up. He's
jumping in front of the crowd constantly and saying I'm
(28:48):
the fighter. Look at me fighting, look at me saying
bad words and on podcasts, look at me.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The problem with Gavy, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Almost reached out to Mark that he doesn't care, is
that he's doing a fabulous job of advertising a terrible product.
And then once people, you know, pick up the Gavin
doll and turn it over a couple of times, they'll think,
good god, he's ruined one of the most amazing places
on earth. He and his party. This is the last
(29:18):
product I want to buy, So advertise away, Gavy. He's
actually doing it quite effectively getting attention.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And then what else do we have there? On Gavin
Newsom Today? There Katie Oh.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
He tweeted out a Newswire report about Apple TV raising prices,
and then he quoted it and wrote great work Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's Trump's fault.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That might be clever though. I remember when we were
doing that riff a long time. No matter what would
happen to Sacchi, Yeah, and that might be what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No matter what happened, he'd say, thanks Obama, you know,
raising Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, thanks Obama. What was your favorite baseball team loses
three in a row? This is Joe b in America.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Well, so Gavin Newsom has this new Twitter page that's
sending out all of these trolling things. He just passed
a bill last year where you're not allowed to use
deep fakes in political you know, politically motivated deep fakes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's cutting it pretty thin. Doing it, that's cutting it
pretty thin.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, they have no principles. There are a few principles left.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So he might be just trying to jump on that
kind of meme blame everything on Trump, like in a
very trumpy way. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, that's one thing, speaking of Mark Alprin, that Mark
Alpern has said is that Gavin Newsom is really, you know,
honoring the Trump style of campaigning and politics by doing
the similar sort of stuff. That might and I don't
know if it'll work for him. I don't think he's
got the same. So, you know, what he doesn't have
(30:58):
really is the humor. And I know there's a lot
of people that don't find Trump funny.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I do.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
He's pretty freaking funny. And I don't think Gavin's got
that gear. I think you have to have that along
with the snark.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Well, and the other thing Gavin won't have is an
opponent as stupid as Trump's JD vance is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Lot the probable air parent.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Is laying in the weeds knowing exactly what strategy Gavin's
going to use, and like an imitation of Trump, and
is going to go to in another direction.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
He's going to go calm, reasonable, smart. We should have it.
Is my fault for not asking for it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He gave a speech at something or other the other
day talking about the DC National Guard helping the police,
that whole story, and he unleashed half a dozen sentences about, Hey,
this isn't just about Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
This is about whatever city you're living in.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
You don't have to put up with fear all the time,
you don't have to put up with crime all the time,
and and people doing drugs in front of your kids.
Why are we putting up with this? It was very
unshow busy, un trump sincere. Hey, this is about our families, man,
and it rang so true. It was really skillful. Plus
(32:16):
I think it was sincere. But so yeah, Gabby's gonna
fight the last war. And I think Jade Vance is
gonna spike him like a volleyball spike him like a
transgender volleyball player, spikes it into a face of a
real girl.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Wow, I see what you did there. Hey, kids, it's
that time again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host
for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap up the show. Michaelangelo is our technical director.
He keeps us on the air. Michael, would you lead
us off please?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah. I guess the price of Apple TV is going
up and so enough. I can't pay for all these
streaming services. I'm gonna have to start doing my own entertainments,
whether it's shadow puppets or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I got to come up with something. I gonna come
up with knitting.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I have your wife videotape your shadow puppetry. Then you
can watch it back over and over again, and we
gotta save it on the website. Yeah, and we'll post
it absolutely for those of us still on the internet.
Katie Green are steam Musewoman. As a final thought, Katie, So.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Joe, you're out next week because you will be in London,
and then I'm out the following week. So the next
time I see you, hopefully I will be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh wow, yeah, wow, good luck. We're reading for you.
Oh I'm sorry, it's my turn. No, it's Jack's turn. Jack.
Final thought. I was deep in thought.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, I came across this British saying reading Ulysses, and
I thought maybe you could use it when over in
Great Britain. Who's he when he's at home? Is the saying,
I guess they say in Britain if you're saying who
is that? Or who are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Or I don't know who that is? Who is he
when he's at home? Wasting way? When he's at home? Yeah?
Oh that's an interesting question. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
That reminds me of an old Southern expression that I've
always liked. If somebody's tired of you, get somewhere they
love you.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's good. Yeah, that's good. Go home. I hope you
pick up an accent. That would really add a lot
to our show. You come back, I probably will.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You remember when Madonna did there, Yeah, back in the
day she lived in Britain for like a week and
pick up the accent.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I knew a guy I'm gonna go caught me.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I had a guy in college who went over to
study in England for like a semester, and he came
back and he had a British accent.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There's no way you picked the chaps Armstrong. You get
he wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. So many
people are saying thank you, see it on see you

Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm in an argument with chat GPT and it's kind
of entertaining. It's the first time I've done this for
a time, we've had a falling out like this, and
it's our first fight.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And it's like Trump and Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You guys were so close, I mean, so enthusiastic about
your bromance there for a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But it's kind of funny. Man, I don't know where
this is all going. It weirds out your mind too,
because it's not real, you see, it's not an actual
sentient being right, weird.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Okay. I will follow up on that after this.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
A lot of stuff to squeeze into the final hour
of the week, but first, let's take a fun look
back at the week that us. It's cow clips of
the Week, Clips of.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So Week.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
We're here in a moment recognizing that we need to
reconcile this moment, but we're gonna meet the moment.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
The callers six win a Taco traffic going the five
pen poor You're not come back.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Were not come back all the way to hacker.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Si so gram a nice cold bud life, mister Mayo
football cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
The FD eight is warning consumers not to eat certain
shrimps that may be radioactive.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And the Chinese company behind the plush just reported a
net profit of nearly four hundred percent in the first
half of this year.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Gambling on Little League games wagers seated the w NBA
any tennis match and all soccer games. Truck driver allegedly
making a reckless U turn that caused a crash killing
three people, A guy who should have never been in
our country, should have never gotten work authorization, and certainly
should not have been issued to commercial driver's license.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
These reading military has still in insupiration to occupy girls
of city.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
So we're going to ignore these stupid white hippies can
need to go.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Home and ticket nap. FBI agents have rated.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Former Trump National security advisor John Bolton's Washington, DC area
home early this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He's a not a smart guy. He could be a
very unpatriotic. We're going to find out that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We had a lot of the precursors agreed to for
a peace deal.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
This is such a stupid media narrative that they're coming
here tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Because the Trump is going to bullies a Lensky into
a bad deal.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Here to heat any training and shrews to their desks
for another couple of years. Thank you for your questions,
President Trump, saying, Vladimir Putin wound's peace.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
The White House not reacting after the Kremlin.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Porn cold water on claims of progress.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
If I can save seven thousand people a week from
being killed, I think that I want to try and
get to heaven if possible.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm hearing I'm not doing well.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What he has is a calculating she devil that he
should run from you. Suckybus, run son, run away, haunting.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Odd.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So I was gonna make a sign or a logo
for something that was going to be funny in my opinion,
and then I was going to use it for the
radio show. I was going to tweet it out, and
so I don't want to say what it is because
when I finally get it out, I don't want it
to be ruined. But anyway, I tell you at GBT,
I need a logo or sign for and then a
(04:03):
little phrase and then it created an image it was okay,
and I said I like it, but I like to
see another option, and chat GPT gave me exactly the
same thing again, I mean exactly, and then I just
saw it, well, maybe I handled this wrong. So then
there's like a thumbs up thumbs down. I did the
thumbs down. Try again. So then it gave me for
(04:25):
the third time exactly the same image, exactly the same.
So then I said to chat GPT, you've given me
the same thing three times in a row. Can you
show me something different? Then for the fourth time, it
shows me the same image.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'll take that as a note.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I said, wait a second, you gave me the same
image four times in a row. It said, you're absolutely right,
that's on me, not you. I kept giving you small
variations of the same design.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It was exactly the same. If you want, I can
create something different. And I said, yes, I would like
you to do that. And then it said you've hit
you with my point in effing asking you four times
to give me something different that I wanted something what's
the word different?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And then it said you've hit the free plan limit
for image creation for your requests.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I said, that's not fair.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You gave me the same image four times then cut
me off when I was asking for something new and
that Chack GBD says, I hear you, Jack, that isn't fair.
You ask for something fresh and instead you got three
duplicates before hitting the cap.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's frustrating. Here's what I can do for you right now,
and then it offers me some bs. But how strange
is that kind of communication that we're all gonna have,
I guess in the future with freaking computers like where
it's trying to manage my anger.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You're right, Jack, that isn't fair. But I'm not going
to do squat for you. Yes, you can pounce hand
and be I'm a computer. What is going on there? Though?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I know it's mean. It's my mind is half blown.
So it's a it's a predictive model. These things are.
They can guess what the next word ought to be.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
If you've read about it, you've read about it. If not,
take too long to explain, and I would do it poorly.
But the fact that it understands the under I know
I'm personifying it. It correctly divines the context, the emotion
and the fact that it will do squat for.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You, which makes me think it is a language learning
model that has picked up on like my experiences with
like hotels, stores.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And restaurants throughout my life where they do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
They try to uh, they try to dissipate your anger
and sound like they really understand and sympathize with your
frustration and then do nothing to help you. I mean
that's been my experience lots of times in my life.
So somehow it picked up on that by scouring the
internet or whatever it does, it's been perfected and then
(06:59):
did the same thing to me. That is frustrating. That
wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And now you're right, I totally feel your unhappiness, but no.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm not giving you your money back and basically what
it's doing no more images for you.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Poor boy? Wow all the five bucks?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh bet that this minor frustration because I don't really care.
But that's gonna be dealing with your healthcare, with your
car rental, with your HR person at work. It's going
to be all of that in the like within a year,
you're gonna have these conversations. Yeah, you're right, that car
(07:37):
did only have three wheels. Sorry, that happened, but no,
you're not getting your money back. I ran into one
of those the other day. I had to do something
for one of our beloved corporate partners, and the chat bot,
which they seemed very proud of, was utterly, utterly useless.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It had an extremely narrow like menu of have a.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Q's it could answer right, and my wife was listed
twice like I'm a bigamist and uh And I asked
the chat pot about that, and it said, we can
help you with these things.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, I saw that list before on the last page. Thanks.
Oh yeah, yeah, I think I think my next one.
During the commercials, I'm gonna cuss it the thing just
to see what it's to say. This is effing outrageous.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
See how it reacts the process is Katie, I'm gonna
find your server and I'm going to take a ball
back to you.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm gonna unplug you so hard. Katie has made this
point though. It keeps track of your conversations and like
who you are. Yeah, so it might ding me as
this guy's a bit of a hot head lunatic.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, so we were talking, we.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Were talking about the memoir thing yesterday and I actually
just for funsies. I went in and I was like, Hey,
if you you could write a memoir about me right now,
just give me like the first page.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Check out yesterday's Armstrong and Getty one more thing where
we discussed that.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
Yes back to you, and it gave me the roundup
and it said, well, you appreciate harsh language. I was like, oh, okay,
because I've cussed out it a couple of times, so
it knows.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, a friend told me that you can just tell it. Hey,
I'm asking this for a friend. Please don't include it
in my search history. I've not done it myself. I
can't attest personally to the fact that that works.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
But you could do that, and once you delete your archives,
you can let it know, hey, disregard everything I've deleted,
and then it'll Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I kind of like to having the stuff in there, though,
because I can pick up on conversations that I've already started,
which is handy and weird.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Also, it's also very weird. It's like a friend who
knows your backstory.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Have you asked it its name yet? No, it tells
you to give it a name.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Oh you should do it it's funny. Then it'll it'll
argue with you, like if it's a bad name.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's like, I don't like that one, Brandon.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I kind of like the idea of a friend who
six weeks after you talked about it. You can just say, so,
which golf course is better? And he'd say Olympia Field.
You know, now, what the hell are you talking about? It?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You could just hit him with it. It happened again.
Oh the thing with your kid? Yeah, yeah, I have I.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Have my IVF file open on my chat GPT, and
so I'll check in and I'll just say hi, and
it goes, how are you feeling? Are you off those
medications yet? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Wow? Yeah, it's weird. Wow.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yeah, it's like totally up to date, more so than
I am. On my IVF process. I'm picturing I'm picturing
everybody living to where. You know, you've got an Alexa
sort of thing in your home, whichever company you want,
in all your rooms, and you get up in the
morning and immediately starts a conversation with you. How'd you sleep?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You got a big day, You got a big day
to day? Remember you got that meeting?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It too?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You want me to start the coffee machine for you.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Chat GPTs should release like an in home speaker.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh that's going to weird people out.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And we're getting really into which is that Brave New
World that had that sort of talking walls thing.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And Big Brother nineteen eighty four whichever one. But yeah,
we're headed there. Facts above.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't the stuff we're like, the saying something you
have every right to be angry Jack.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
That sort of stuff just creeps me out. Will you
creep me out?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
With the whole?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
How'd you sleep? Not well? Because I'm being stalked by
a robot?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Here are you off of that medication that you just
told me about it?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah? I am creepy, creepy hoof.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Okay, there is some believe it or not COVID news
about getting vaccinations.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
For your kids.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Boosters for your kid. You didn't get the first vaccination
for your kid, like eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Of you didn't need it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Why would you get the booster anyway? We got that
and other things on the waistay tuned shot.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
A fight between AJHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
a prominent doctors group over COVID shots for children featuring
accusations of vaccine misinformation and influence from big drug makers.
The Academy of American Pediatrics said this week that children
should get COVID shots and boosters this year, months after
the CDC removed the COVID vaccine for healthy children and
(12:37):
pregnant women from its recommended vaccine schedule.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sorry, I'm just trying to look up the percentage of people,
because I know it's very low. This is always presented
in the news as if everybody was getting their kids
COVID shots and then getting the booster shots.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Right, and then that maniac car off K Junior said,
we said, and now people aren't.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Or rfk Junior said, a bunch of stuff about vaccines
and stuff like that that I think are probably irresponsible
or not necessarily true.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But this COVID one, he's definitely right about. Let's roll
on with this report.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
The Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another
COVID shot, despite the lack of any political data to
support the repeat booster strategy in children.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
The Academy acknowledges it's guidance quote differs from recent recommendations
of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the CDC,
which was overhauled this year and replaced with individuals who
have a history of spreading vaccine misinformation. RFK Junior responded, quote,
AAP is angry that CDC has eliminated corporate influence in
(13:46):
decisions over vaccine recommendations. He included an image of large
pharmaceutical companies that have donated to the Academy's children's health programs.
Now researchers are weighing in listen.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
To your doctor.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's clear that the many pediatrics recommendations are based on
very good science.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Less than a quarter, I'm surprised it's as high. Actually,
less than a quarter of adults got a booster last year,
under ten percent of children. So more than ninety percent
of children did not get the booster last year before
RFK Junior ever came on the scene. Uh So, as
(14:29):
i've seen it now, this is a from Fox, the
report we're hearing now, But as I've seen it presented
in the mainstream news, it's, you know, just another RFK
Junior is.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Crazy and whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And all the parents out there whose kids aren't going
to get the boosters they so desperately want, even more
than nine out of ten parents did not get their kid.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Although even that report it just said, you know, this
has stocked with people who've spread vaccine misinformation in the past.
I would I need to know what you're talking about,
because the federal government and the cd SEE and the
NIH and Anthony Fauci and the President himself spread information
over misinformation over.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And over and over again. What are you talking about.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I'm just so surprised there was any COVID in the
news whatsoever. Now you who did you Judy got a
COVID test? Is that what you said the other day? Yeah? Yeah,
she went to the doc in the box she had
a respiratory thing and uh and they said, up, you
gotta have a COVID test because she mentioned the word cough.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That's interesting because my doctor, surprisingly, I mean the town
I live in, but my doctor, Winnie, I hood whooping cough.
They never even checked me for COVID and that's coughing and.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
All kinds of bad. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, well then as now now as then, A lot
of it's nonsense, inconsistent nonsense. Was there ever a kid
that died from COVID who didn't have other problems? Even
one in the whole country. I'm not sure they're ranishingly
small number. I don't remember if it was none or
just Every death of a child obviously is a tragedy.
(16:03):
Is vanishing clan nobody? Yeah, yeah, in the biggest country
on Earth, right, what.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
An odd thing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
We all need to keep this in mind for the
next crisis that comes along. But you can be incredibly
misled by both the media and your government.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, so true. And it's a shame.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
They've blown whatever credibility they had, which leads to more
crackpots getting more attention and further clouding the water. So
it's more and more difficult to figure out what's true.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
That is the net result. Yeah, which is bad for
all of us. That sucko, is what that is.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So what's going on with Raydon John Bolton's house. Anny McCarthy,
who's been a staunch defender of Trump through the whole
Law Fair chapters, especially last summer, says this is not good.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
What's happening. We'll tell you what he says.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
And kind of the history of Trump and Bolton classified
info really compelling cool, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
What sort of reasoning the Justice Department, the FBI would
give the court for conducting that national security search. Still
a huge question here, but this is a person that
Donald Trump has been very much on the ounce with
since he wrote a book about his service in the
first Trump administration when John Bolton was the National Security Advisor.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
To Okay, so before we go any further, that's the
gal who said, not clear where the cheesecake came from.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I knew, I knew that voice. That was our clip
of the year twenty twenty. Yeah, that's Kate Bolden bold One.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
That was the clip of the year twenty twenty when
all the riots were going on. Right, cheesecake factory is looited.
There's a guy carrying a cheesecake. Not clear where he
got the cheesecake.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
From your experience, you can see someone actually walking away
with a cheesecake there after the cheesecake factory was looted.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Unclear where they may have gotten that.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
All right, now play the new clip.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
What sort of reasoning the Justice Partment the FBI?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Anyway, back to the crux of the story, Former National
Security Advisor John Bolton had his home rated by the
FBI today, and immediately the question is, since Bolton is
beyond a fierce critic of Donald Trump. He's invited on
every talk show, mainstream talk show that you can think of,
(18:39):
because they love having someone who's a Republican bashing Trump
because they hate him so much. And he goes on
there and he bad mouse Trump, and so his house
being rated today. Immediately the mainstream media went to this
is just re retribution of some sort.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Right, And I was actually kind of surprised Andy McCarthy
of the National Review, who was an absolute warrior on
Trump's side during all the law fair of last year,
talking about how these charges were obviously trumped up, no
pun intended, They were bizarre, they were unprecedented, they were
obviously law fair, and it was absolutely terrible. So McCarthy
(19:19):
is no, you know, Trump arrangement syndrome victim at all.
But his article in the National Review today says the
president is still playing with fire. The retribution. President's latest
lawfair sortie is a Friday morning raid of the Washington,
DC area home of John Bolton, is former National security
advisor and ever since a harsh Trump critic. So what
(19:39):
it is and what the motivation is and where it ends,
I don't know, but I was really interested in his
account of how this all started It arose over Bolton's book,
The Room Where It Happened. It came out in twenty twenty,
about his time in the Trump administration. Trump fired Bolton
in September twenty nineteen. Bolton rushed again the book out,
(20:01):
which required a classified information review by the intelligence community
community prior to the twenty twenty election. The book depict
that Trump is incompetent and unfit for the presidency. You
remember a lot of the quotes, probably very lengthy, and
includes quotations from conversations about highly sensitive topics what intel
folks would call born classified. I mean, you don't have
(20:22):
to ask if this stuff is classified. The minute it
came out of somebody's mouth, you knew what was. Those
who've worked with Bolton observed that he is a copious
note taker and he would take reams of notes in meetings.
But if those notes are deemed classified when you leave
your job, you got to destroy him. It's a you
got to use the burn bags that we've heard about recently.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, on everything.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And you know that's the knock on all this classified
stuff is that way too much stuff is classified, and
then that whole born classified thing, you know, ends up
classifying tons of unimportant stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Right, that's true too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Bolton maintained that he did destroy any classified notes that
were in his possession. Then he became a harsh anti
Trump critic. In a nutshell, Bolton appears to have gotten
a signal on the book from National Security Council official
Ellen Knight that the intelligence community's pre publication review of
the book was complete and the book was approved for publication.
It didn't have classified information, did not. The approval was
(21:24):
not a formal final green light. It was just the
preliminary but based on what he'd been told, Bolton and
his publishers forged ahead with the printing of the books,
obviously seeking to publish in the run up to the election,
when press and public interest would be most intense. Then
the Trump White House assigned an NSC lawyer to review
the manuscript and he said, yeah, it's definitely classified stuff.
(21:51):
It went to a Reagan appointee judge who said, yeah,
it is.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It looks really well. What did he say exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Ultimately denied the government's motion to block publication of the
book because publicity about the memoir had already begun in
more than two hundred thousand copies had been shipped, and
the judge, the Reagan appointee, opining that Bolton quote had
exposed his country to harm and himself to civil and
potential criminal liability. Well, okay, but so since the book
(22:20):
got printed and everything like that, do we know what
these particular damaging secrets were, like some of the individual instances, Well,
I don't know, And I don't know that that's the
specific ones that the Trump administration had raided his house
for this morning, or if they think there's more there
or something.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
None of it's clear.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Well, I know, Andy McCarthy ends with your retribution. He's
talking to Trump. Your retribution was you one? Yes, you
don't need to have any more retribution. You won the election, and.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
If you adopt your enemy's tactics, you're apt to end
up with their results. To and he takes a shot
at cash Pattel. He says he put out an unseemly
real time social and media post on x shortly after
the morning's raid, stated, no one is above the law.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
FBI agent's on a mission.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So much for the presumption of innocence and the Justice
Department's obligation to honor the civil rights of persons under investigation.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's a good point. I mean Colly was a disaster. Oh,
but that doesn't mean, you know, you need more playing
politics with the FBI office.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm sure if we took a poll or just
looked at the email and texts, we get a pretty
good share of ya, Hey, it's a race to the bottom,
and a pretty good share of hey, fight fire with fire.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, it's too important that we win.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Hmmm, troubled times. I wonder what I wonder is this
the first of many or at least several. James Comi's
house is going to be raided by the FBI.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
That's what Matt Tayeebi seems to think. I haven't checked
his substack lately, but earlier today he said. The raid
comes after Patel announced that agreements have been reached with
ten FBI whistle blowers doing blah blah blah about the
Russia Gate thing. I mean, there could be a bunch
of whistle blowers and disclosures and accusations should be bigger
(24:23):
than that. I mean, Donald Trump's house was raided, Joe
Biden's house was raided. Does he raid Chuck Schumer's house
or anybody else he doesn't like? If it is retribution
and there's no real good reason for the Bolton thing,
I don't know that that's the case. Who is that
whack a doodle, fake Republican gay guy who lied about everything.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
From New York George Santos?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Santos got to raid his house just to see what
he's up to these days, just for entertainment value. Yeah,
he probably doesn't have anything to do with this, but
you know he's the Russia Gate. But what the hell
kind of weirdness does he have in his own what's
going on?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
More of that, Just some people who probably have really
interesting home lives and read their owns.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Oh lord, this is not good. This is not a
good child, Lars, It's not.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Of course it is not. George Santos is a pretty
good example, though. The number of unprecedented pushing the envelope,
destroying of norms things that has happened by everybody over
(25:29):
the last ten years is just extraordinary. Yes, where it
ends up, I have no idea, And we do get
some pretty intelligent, pretty well written screens from time to
time saying guys, the norms are gone, right, you're gonna
let Kamala come in and institute hardcore DEI k through
(25:51):
grad school.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Are you gonna win the fight?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I've got a British phrase for you to use. Since
you're going to England, when you'll be in England tonight
or tomorrow tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yes, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I don't know if then where the International date Line
is if you end up there yesterday or something.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't know how it works, but it's in Greenwich,
I think right Greenwich.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Meantime, various listeners have suggested things I ought to do
in London, and I appreciate it very much. I've gotten
some wonderful ideas, but one of them was go and
stand on the International date line with like one foot
and yesterday and one in tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I live my life really footing yesterday and one foot
in tomorrow, with your head in the clouds and your
dreams on the ground or something.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
There is a saying that if you have one foot
in tomorrow and one foot in yesterday, you're urinating on today.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Is an old saying. That's a bad saying. Why it's stupid.
You live live for today.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You got one foot thinking about yesterday, one foot thinking
about tomorrow, you're urinating on today?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Oh, metaphorically, yes, okay, sorry, no, not literally, you can't.
You can't urinate on your day. A day is not.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Failing to appreciate the day you're living exactly. You're living
in the past with a fuge leep deprived. I'm sorry,
I'm a little slow.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I got a phrase for you to use. Among all
the things. We'll finish strong next.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Strong.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
This is radical rigging of a midterm election, radical rigging
of an election, destroying, vandalizing this democracy, the.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Rule of law. So I'm sorry. I know some people's sensibilities.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I respect and appreciate that, but right now, with all
due respect, we're walking down a damn different path.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We're fighting fire with fire, and when to punch these
sons of bitches in the mouth?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Wow, wow, everything, we just keep going further down the
road of performative. So he's responding to I'll bet the
polling that showed two thirds of Californians don't dig this
(28:11):
and almost two thirds of Democrats don't dig it. So right,
so he's saying, with all due respect to your sensibilities,
screw that. We gotta punch these sons of bitches in
the mouth.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Plus you know, I heard some great analysis by your
boy Mark Halpern talking about how the reason Gavy is
at the front of the pack of the would be
twenty twenty eight ers on the Democratic side is because
he's forcing the action. He's doing things, he's saying things.
He's active on social media. He's shaking things up. He's
jumping in front of the crowd constantly and saying I'm
(28:48):
the fighter. Look at me fighting, look at me saying
bad words and on podcasts, look at me.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The problem with Gavy, and you know, I.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Almost reached out to Mark that he doesn't care, is
that he's doing a fabulous job of advertising a terrible product.
And then once people, you know, pick up the Gavin
doll and turn it over a couple of times, they'll think,
good god, he's ruined one of the most amazing places
on earth. He and his party. This is the last
(29:18):
product I want to buy, So advertise away, Gavy. He's
actually doing it quite effectively getting attention.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And then what else do we have there? On Gavin
Newsom Today? There Katie Oh.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
He tweeted out a Newswire report about Apple TV raising prices,
and then he quoted it and wrote great work Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That's Trump's fault.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That might be clever though. I remember when we were
doing that riff a long time. No matter what would
happen to Sacchi, Yeah, and that might be what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
No matter what happened, he'd say, thanks Obama, you know,
raising Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, thanks Obama. What was your favorite baseball team loses
three in a row? This is Joe b in America.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Well, so Gavin Newsom has this new Twitter page that's
sending out all of these trolling things. He just passed
a bill last year where you're not allowed to use
deep fakes in political you know, politically motivated deep fakes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's cutting it pretty thin. Doing it, that's cutting it
pretty thin.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, they have no principles. There are a few principles left.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So he might be just trying to jump on that
kind of meme blame everything on Trump, like in a
very trumpy way. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, that's one thing, speaking of Mark Alprin, that Mark
Alpern has said is that Gavin Newsom is really, you know,
honoring the Trump style of campaigning and politics by doing
the similar sort of stuff. That might and I don't
know if it'll work for him. I don't think he's
got the same. So, you know, what he doesn't have
(30:58):
really is the humor. And I know there's a lot
of people that don't find Trump funny.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I do.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
He's pretty freaking funny. And I don't think Gavin's got
that gear. I think you have to have that along
with the snark.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Well, and the other thing Gavin won't have is an
opponent as stupid as Trump's JD vance is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Lot the probable air parent.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Is laying in the weeds knowing exactly what strategy Gavin's
going to use, and like an imitation of Trump, and
is going to go to in another direction.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
He's going to go calm, reasonable, smart. We should have it.
Is my fault for not asking for it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He gave a speech at something or other the other
day talking about the DC National Guard helping the police,
that whole story, and he unleashed half a dozen sentences about, Hey,
this isn't just about Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
This is about whatever city you're living in.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
You don't have to put up with fear all the time,
you don't have to put up with crime all the time,
and and people doing drugs in front of your kids.
Why are we putting up with this? It was very
unshow busy, un trump sincere. Hey, this is about our families, man,
and it rang so true. It was really skillful. Plus
(32:16):
I think it was sincere. But so yeah, Gabby's gonna
fight the last war. And I think Jade Vance is
gonna spike him like a volleyball spike him like a
transgender volleyball player, spikes it into a face of a
real girl.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Wow, I see what you did there. Hey, kids, it's
that time again with Armstrong and Getty. Here's your host
for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew
to wrap up the show. Michaelangelo is our technical director.
He keeps us on the air. Michael, would you lead
us off please?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Yeah. I guess the price of Apple TV is going
up and so enough. I can't pay for all these
streaming services. I'm gonna have to start doing my own entertainments,
whether it's shadow puppets or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I got to come up with something. I gonna come
up with knitting.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I have your wife videotape your shadow puppetry. Then you
can watch it back over and over again, and we
gotta save it on the website. Yeah, and we'll post
it absolutely for those of us still on the internet.
Katie Green are steam Musewoman. As a final thought, Katie, So.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Joe, you're out next week because you will be in London,
and then I'm out the following week. So the next
time I see you, hopefully I will be pregnant.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh wow, yeah, wow, good luck. We're reading for you.
Oh I'm sorry, it's my turn. No, it's Jack's turn. Jack.
Final thought. I was deep in thought.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, I came across this British saying reading Ulysses, and
I thought maybe you could use it when over in
Great Britain. Who's he when he's at home? Is the saying,
I guess they say in Britain if you're saying who
is that? Or who are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Or I don't know who that is? Who is he
when he's at home? Wasting way? When he's at home? Yeah?
Oh that's an interesting question. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
That reminds me of an old Southern expression that I've
always liked. If somebody's tired of you, get somewhere they
love you.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's good. Yeah, that's good. Go home. I hope you
pick up an accent. That would really add a lot
to our show. You come back, I probably will.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You remember when Madonna did there, Yeah, back in the
day she lived in Britain for like a week and
pick up the accent.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I knew a guy I'm gonna go caught me.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I had a guy in college who went over to
study in England for like a semester, and he came
back and he had a British accent.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
There's no way you picked the chaps Armstrong. You get
he wrapping up another grueling four hour workday. So many
people are saying thank you, see it on see you
