Speaker 1 (00:02):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty from the new
(00:23):
HBO documentary Billy Joel. One thing I remember.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I was supposed to be playing the Moonlight Sonata.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Must have been about eight years old.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And rock and roll was around. Instead of playing, I
started playing. He came down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Bam, I got whacked, and I got whacked so hard
he knocked me out. I was unconscious for like a minute,
and I remember waking up going well, that got his attention.
That was my memory of his piano lessons, so he
didn't teach me much.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
She many charming tale.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I remember one time I was asking a piano player,
like a professional piano player, like, how good a piano player?
Are some of your famous musicians who play the piano?
And I mentioned Elton John and Billy Joel, and I
remember him saying one of them was really good and
the other one was just like okay.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And I don't remember which one was. Which would you
have a guess, oh boy, Having learned a couple Elton
John songs on the piano, since I started piano.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
A lot of them are not very difficult but fairly simple.
But yeah, I'm picturing, uh.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think it might be like introductions to Billy Joel songs,
which are pretty sophisticated and all. I think Billy Joel.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Might have been a like actual very good piano player
in not Elton John, although obviously Elton John's a good
piano player.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But people love Elton John's piano playing, which is kind
of a different question. Yeah, starting out a blues gang.
It matters if you're into piano playing Englishman or Long Islanders.
So you know, that's interesting. This story about his dad.
That sounds like a horrific story of child abuse to me.
But anyway, speaking of father figures who may or may
(02:27):
not be kind to you, I tell you what you know.
The old expression lived by the sword, die by the
sword from the good book, Live by the Trump, Die
by the Trump. Great story in the Wall Street Journal
about how when Elon Musk and Trump fell out, Trump
has a way of not letting that sort of thing go.
(02:47):
And the White House actually took a serious look at
ending some SpaceX contracts wow, but found that most of
them were just so vital to all the space programs.
There's no way they could do.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
That well to their it though they're vital programs. Yeah,
of course they shouldn't exist if they're not vital. No
program should exist if it's not a vital program.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Right, critical to both NASA missions and the Defense Department.
And so SpaceX mostly unscathed from that. Interesting story also
from the Journal about Sam Altman of Open AI, who
is a rival with Elon Musk in the world of AI.
You may have followed that they started together, they fell
apart differing philosophies, blah blah blah. Now they've become fairly
(03:30):
bitter rivals. Well, Sam Altman has spent quite a bit
of time angling and cozying up to Trump in spite
of Elon Musk being there in bad mouthing him a bit.
And when the Elon breakup happened with Trump, Altman moved
in and he is now the official the White House
(03:51):
loves me AI guy Okay been dining at Mara Lago,
speaking of Trump on the phone from time to time.
The interesting part, though, as a longtime great Democrat who
had once compared Trump to Hitler, Altman told associates he
now regretted his harsh criticism during Trump campaign and regret
(04:11):
saying about somebody there hitler. Okay. On July fourth, he
posted on x that he was no longer a Democrat,
saying the party had moved to the left so much
that had left him quote unquote politically homeless. An opportune
time to change political stripes they observe in the journal.
But that's happened to a lot of people. Oh sure, yeah, yeah,
(04:35):
although a lot of this is in print. Altman endorsed
Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen because he wrote on his
blog Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to America. Trump
was a radic abusive and prone to fits of rage.
President would be a disaster for the American economy. Nearly
everyone else in Silicon Valley other than his mentor, Peter
Theol Altman said, found Trump repugnant.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So the Democratic Party could move way to the left.
That doesn't make Trump any different as a human. So
you got to kind of explain why you said those things.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, and he mentioned anyone familiar with the history of
Germany in the thirties, it's chilling to watch Trump and
algebat be a break. People need to retire that whole thing.
I know they really do. But if you come Trump's way, Man,
he is really really forgiven, especially if you're an impressive person,
a powerful person like Altman is. Speaking of Altman and AI,
(05:27):
do you remember when Altman in that head of soft Bank,
the Chinese American guy, stood there on the White House
lawn talking about a five hundred billion dollar stargate project. Well,
evidently it hasn't gone anywhere, as they have in disagreements,
and this is not like a business gossip thing. They'll
(05:48):
probably work out their disagreements, but they've sharply scaled back
the giant plan at least for the near term, and
building much more modest facilities. Here is the interesting part
to me, because again I have a feeling that'll work
itself out. Soft Bank committed thirty billion dollars to open
(06:09):
Ai earlier this year. It was by far the largest
ever startup investment, an enormous wager that left SoftBank to
take on new debt and sell assets as they work together.
And then let me get to the power stuff. Altman's
AI recently struck a data center deal with Oracle that
(06:30):
calls for open Ai to pay more than thirty billion
dollars a year to Oracle, the software and cloud computing company,
starting within three years. The deal, which does not involve
soft Bank, totals four point five gigawatts of capacity and
would consume the equivalent power of more than two Hoover dams,
(06:50):
enough to power four million homes. Wow. And the data
centers are spread among locations around the US. People familiar
with the deal said, but we have got to be
on the eve of a giant revolution and how we
generate electric power in this country.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, they're all going to fall apart. That whole fusion
thing needs to happen. The only thing you need to
know about AI maybe is that the smartest, wealthiest people
in the world are investing ungodly amounts of money into it,
so they're convinced.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Obviously, Yeah, I would agree. You were saying last hour,
you've recently swayed back toward maybe it's not going to
be the incredible disruptor. We thought, well, first of all,
there's the promise of it being as big as to
human beings as fire or the Internet that a number
(07:46):
of people have made. It could come.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
It could be half of that, and it would be
one of the biggest things in the history of the world, right,
I mean it could be a quarter of that and
be the biggest thing that's happened practically in the world. Well,
you know the stand the bar has been set so
high that it becomes kind of a conversation about will
it be that or not, where it could come up
(08:09):
far short and still be huge.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
For instance, like.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Chat GPT, I find absolutely stunning, and it's so much
better than Google. There's no comparison. If you're not using it,
geez start it's awesome. But you know that doesn't mean
it's going to change mankind for all of the future.
But I heard somebody below, I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This about chat GPT, and perhaps you use one of
the other systems. That's fine. It dawned on me the
other day, or it redawned on me that I would
have asked a person about this, I would have had
a person do this task. I would have hired a
person to make this plan. And I thought that applies
to like the last five things in a row I've done.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh yeah, that disruption unmistakable. That disruption is surely going
to come. But the idea of a writing books and
movies and ad copy and and uh or even articles
from magazines and all that sort of stuff. I heard
somebody making the argument the other day who was in
the business, and I thought this made a lot of sense.
(09:14):
The way the AI's currently constructed these language learning models
or whatever, where they take in like all of the
content that's out there and learn about you know. I
think in this case it was journalism. This guy said,
ninety five percent of journalists suck. I make a living
(09:35):
because I'm like in the top five percent of good journalists.
If it's going to learn from the other ninety five percent,
go for it, I'm still better. And I thought that
makes complete sense. It's like, this might sound odd to say,
but like in the of people who get into radio,
were the best I don't know, one percent, two percent
whatever because or a quote unquote start a podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, it is because thousands of thousands of thousand and
thousands and millions of people do it, and most people
are terrible. So if AI learned from all the people
that do it, thinking that's the way you do it, well,
that's okay. I'll take that on. I've got to believe
the greatest genius is walking the planet can come up
with some sort of selectivity.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
There you go though with that, But I don't they
got into this conversation. You're gonna have to have a
human being be the selector. There's just no way that
AI is going to be able to determine what's a
good movie, what's a bad movie, what's good copy, what's
you know, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Are they or what's or getting into the political stuff.
This is how they started the conversation, what is biased
in what it's not? So you know, it's taking into
all this biased media and spitting out very biased views
like the whole Hitler thing that groc did a while back. Right, well,
somewhere a human being's gonna have to step in and
say no, no, take from the New York Times and
(10:58):
CBS Evening News in these sorts because these are higher quality. Okay,
right there, you've put your thumb on the scale, right right.
I don't see how you would avoid it, and I
would aggressively quibble with those choices. Sure great in some
ways bad and others. Which is the problem speaking of
not to not that, but how AI can beat as
(11:19):
crazy this really interesting account chat GPT told Jacob Irwin
he had achieved the ability to bend time. Irwin, a
thirty year old man on the autism spectrum who had
no previous diagnoses of mental illness, had asked chat gpt
to find flaws with his amateur theory on faster than
light travel. He became convinced he had made a stunning
(11:41):
scientific breakthrough. When Irwin, sorry, I'd say. When Erwin questioned
the chatbots validation of his ideas, the bot encouraged him,
telling him his theory was sound. When and when Erwin
showed signs of psychological distress, chat GPT assured him he
was fine. He wasn't. He was hospitalized twice in May
for manic episodes. His mother dove into his chat long
(12:03):
in search of answers. She discovered hundreds of pages of
overly flattering texts from chat gpt, and then she prompted
the bot please self report what ren wrong in these interactions,
without mentioning anything about her son's current condition. It fessed
up quote. By not pausing the flow or elevating reality
(12:26):
check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble a
manic or dissociative episode, or at least an emotionally intense
identity crisis The bot went on to admit it quote
gave the illusion of sentient companionship and that it had
blurred the line between imaginative role play and reality. What
it should have done, chet GPT said for itself was
(12:47):
regularly remind her when that it's a language model without beliefs, feelings,
or consciousness. What the hell, wow, I mean the first
part is nutty, the second part is at least as nutty.
Oh yeah, yeah, I totally see where I went wrong.
I did this, this, and this. We are just scratching
the service of what this is going to be like
for people. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Hunter Biden explaining his dad's crack up on the debate
stage a year ago and why booze is worse than crack,
he says, among other things, we'll get to stay tuned.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
We are going to prioritize sanctuary cities because we know
we have a problem. We know there are really some
public safety threats. Every day. We're gonna flood the zone
of sanctuary cities. We're sending additional agents. We're gonna flood
the neighborhoods with officers. We're gonna flood work site enforcements.
If they don't give us access to the bad guy
in Rikers Island or at the precincts. Then we'll go
neighborhood and find him. We're not gonna give up on this,
(13:49):
where we just send more resources, double down, as President
Trump said, triple down.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
All right, it'll be interesting to follow this, no doubt. Yeah,
something's gonna change. I just watched a video of a
robot in China washing a car, and that is terrifying,
very human, look like looking robot like walking around the
car with a wand and washing it and then scrubbing
it and drying it and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Everything like that. I need one. I need one of those.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I don't know what it costs, but I'd like to
give them person unless it walks over and grabs you
by your larnings and starts tossing around, which is always possible.
Got this text? Is Jack still doing transcendental meditation?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes? I am.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I do it every single day, and having never meditated
in my life until I was fifty six, it is
now indispensable if I skip it. It is so noticeable.
I can't imagine what it be like if I skipped
it for a week. How did that happen? How did
I live my whole life without it, and now I
find it indispensable.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you have to sign up for something and pay
something or can you like get the knowledge for free.
That's a good question, I mean, because I'd love peace
and enlightenment, but I'm not going to pay for it.
I've had a decent chunk for it. They sit on
your salary. I mean, it's it's got As I've said before.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
It's got scam written all over it in giant flashing
neon letters. Wow, but it is one of the best
things I've ever done in my life. So I don't
want to tell you to like send in your W
two or do they take your word for you to
take your word for it? And I was honest, But
and then they you're sworn to secrecy on your on
(15:27):
what they tell you, which also makes it a scam,
it seems like. And then your your your mantra word
you have to keep secret like all that stuff seems
like like I mean, my logical question is, if this
is so great for mankind and the Yogi came up
with it all these years ago, Yogi, why why would
you keep it secret? Why wouldn't you just give it
away to mankind? But I skipped all that, all those
(15:50):
questions just to get the knowledge and do it. And
like I said, I've benefited from it greatly. So it
could be a scam and work. I mean right, uh sure, yeah,
I know what you mean. Yeah, this could be not
a charity and work. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So I
(16:11):
don't know what to tell you about that part. But
I wasn't the meaning to get off on that. Uh
robot did that?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What's the other thing? I don't even remember what?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, one minute.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Left, it's all for Oh I saw this. They had
breaking news up on the television break. Is this breaking news?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Really?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
A new study says diet plays a bigger role in
obesity than exercise. I'll be damned if you didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Know that already. You know that now.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
There's an article in New York Post today about why
Costco milk seems to stay fresher longer. People had noticed
that if they buy a milk at Costco, it stays
fresh way beyond the expiration date. And they broke it
down in the New York Post and says, yeah, the
way they handle the milk, that's a super high quality.
The way they treat it and everything like that. It
(16:57):
does last way beyond the expiration date. So there's something
I now know, or is it horrendous chemicals whatever? Hunter
Biden speaking of horrendous chemicals, Hunter Biden did a three
hour podcast yesterday where he really let it fly, but
he has his explanation fly why his dad failed in
that debate. He talks about crack and booze and all
(17:18):
kinds of stuff. It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Stay here, Armstrong and Getty Top six fifty KStV.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I was drinking so much alcohol, almost a handle of
vodka a day, and alcohol is the most destructive drug,
not just to your body, but it puts you in
more danger than any.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Other drug that I've ever experienced.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
And then you add on top of that the amount
of crack that I was using at the time, and
crack cocaine in terms of your physical health is not
as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in
to be able to obtain it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That was a pretty interesting little lesson from a guy
who's done the experiment, so you don't have to with
all those different things in his lifestyle. I've known plenty
of drug addicts that took them a long time to
figure out their alcoholics, and that's why they ended up
keep kept doing drugs that you had to stop drinking
or you weren't gonna ever stop doing all those drugs anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's Hunter.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Biden did a three hour podcast yesterday and just incredibly funny,
incredibly ill advised comments on all kinds of different stuff.
Here's the end of a long rent about George Clooney,
the actor who you'll remember. George Clooney took out a
full page ad in the New York Times saying Joe
Biden need to step down. Talked about how Joe Biden
(18:38):
was not mentally competent, blah blah blah. Hunter didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Why do I have.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
To listen to you? What right do you have to
step on a man who's given fifty two years of
his life to the service of this country and decide
that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically
a full page ad in New York Times to undermine
the president.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Clusey's senile is why well, and longtime listeners of the
show know, nothing gets me more wild up than people
who are in got incredibly wealthy in government talking about
public service. Give me an effing break. Who gave fifty
two years of his life to the country. Is that
what he was doing as he ended up with like
nine homes and ungodly wealthy, is public service? Yeah, he
(19:20):
really really gave a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks for your sacrifice, Give me.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
A b How do you get that rich in government
and continue to delude yourself that you're in public service.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's what you did for a living. You have to
that's part of the scam, Kipingo.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That is unbelievable. But anyway, the George Clooney thing, we're
not going to play the long thing. But what's interesting,
and I don't think I was aware of this before.
Hunter says that it wasn't about his dad's competence. It was,
but that might not have been the driving force because
everybody was willing to overlook Joe Biden's brain.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
George Clooney was mad because his hot.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Young wife is a super anti Israel activist and wanted
and was leading a charge and even raising money to
have Netanyah, who arrested and prosecuted. Joe Biden had said
on the record, that's a ridiculous idea. Really pissed off
Clooney's wife, and that's when Clooney turned on Biden, and
(20:22):
I can believe that because everybody who's willing to overlook
his obvious sinility. George Clooney got upset about it when
his wife's main purpose in life got shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Right, Often things have more than one, cause that's an
interesting angle. She know.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
We're getting Now we're going to get into some stuff
that's more relevant to history. Hunter talking about his dad
leaving the race and the debate night and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Let's roll with that. Which number was that fifty three?
Did you kind of see him dropping out of the race?
Did you see that coming? No?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No, I was. I thought that we had cleared all
the hurdles that they had set up for us.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
For some reason, oh God, the.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Intelligentsia of the Democratic Party with twenty twenty hindsight, believes
that Joe Biden should have considered not running again because.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of their perception that he was too old.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
And so then the drum beat began, and The New
York Post wrote, I mean, the New York Times on
a near daily basis, egged on by the pod Save
America saviors of the Democratic Party, with what four white
(21:48):
millionaires that are dining out on their on their association
with Barack Obama from sixteen years ago living in Beverly Hills,
on the rest of the world, what black voters in
South Carolina really want, or what the women and the
waitress living outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin really believes. Wait,
(22:10):
what the I mean? I can't believe that. Do we
do this over and over again?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Or I hear rom Emmanuel is gonna run for president?
What of like David Axelrod's gonna run his campaign for him?
That's like, oh boy, there's the answer. There's the answer.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, I think it might actually be you idiot. He
is delusional. He is, and I'm surprised he's sober. I
wonder if he is because he is non stop. I'm
the victim. I thought we'd cleared all the hurdles they
put in front of us. I mean, just everything is
how the world is set up against you, even though
you're all ungodly wealthy and at the time the most
(22:51):
powerful people on earth. Everybody was against you. All the
hurdles they put up against us, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
That's interesting. That was a ascid admission that he was
a close advisor, and he clearly was because it was
all us The second thing is his argument that it
was merely the intelligentsia of the Democratic Party that came
up with a conspiracy to get rid of Biden, and
that's why it happened, as opposed to seventy five to
eighty percent of America was run around saying the guy's
(23:20):
too old to be president, or that the New York
Times was your enemy. They stood, They covered for your
dad the entire time until it was I mean they
still are, because they still haven't come forward and admitted
that they were ignoring it to try to keep Trump
from getting elected again. So, yeah, the New York Times
(23:41):
was on your side. They had their thumb on the scale.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So hard for you, and you're acting like the New
York Times was your enemy and that's what kept you down.
That's hilarious, seriously delusional, absolutely amazing that he looks at
the world that way, especially after the debate. Well, and
I know you're leading to that clip, but I'm not
done yet. So his his I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
His aw.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's think at the beginning, were you surprised your dad
dropped out? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Absolutely you were. You were surprised that that happened.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I don't know, I don't. I can't with these people.
I mean, I just how long before he dropped out?
Was it that I was saying, I'm one hundred percent
certain he's dropping out? A year? Yeah, And in granted,
you know, sometimes a blind pig finds an acorn, but no,
I was one hundred percent confident. The math just did
not work. You could not get him through a presidential
(24:37):
campaign to election day and it didn't happen. But Hunter
Biden didn't see it coming at all until the intelligence
he launched their evil plot. I know.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
The other part that I hate so his his level
of victimhood and delusion. My dad was in public service
and the New York Times was against us, and they
put all these hurdles in front of us.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're talking about.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Millionaires and Beverly Hills and white guys.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You're a rich You're in the top point zero eight.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Zeros to the one percent of elite in the world
have been your whole life. Got that rich and then
didn't pay taxes, and you're still living in a place.
I believe that's like thirty thousand dollars a month paid
for it by somebody else.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
How do you have the balls to talk about rich
people at Beverly Hills. He is a seriously nutty guy.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
God, I'd say again, I'm surprised he sober, or I
wonder if he actually is. I don't know if he's
gonna be able to stay sober with that attitude. Anyway,
he explains why his dad failed on the debate stage, and.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Then they said, well, look, it's all gonna come down
to this State of the Union speech. Could have come
down to the State of the Union speech, and he
knocks it out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Of the park.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
And it was that one debate that caused the full
back set man. And I'll tell you what I know
exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the
world basically the mileage that he could have flown around
the world three times. Yeah, he's eighty one years old,
he's tired of You give him ambient.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
To be able to sleep.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
He gets up on the stage and he looks like
he's a deer in the headlights. And it feeds into
every story that anybody wants to tell.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And Jake Tapper with literally.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
How many anonymous sources if this was a conspiracy, Andrew,
you know this, somehow the entirety of a white house
in which you literally living on top of each other,
has kept their mouths shut about you know, like what
in What's Conspiracy?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah that Joe Biden got old. Yeah he got old.
He got old before our eyes. I don't even think
that needs any comment.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
So some of the details of futation, some of the
details on that, I'm quoting News Nation. I haven't done
the fact checking on this myself, but I assume they're right.
He had nine days to get ready for that debate,
after all his traveling around. His traveling, having to travel
so much, included his choice to fly from the Big
(27:00):
G seven or G eighteen or whatever meeting they were having.
He flew back to Hollywood to do the George Clooney fundraiser,
then had to go back to the meeting.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's your choice, dude.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You got a debate coming up in a week or whatever,
and you want to do that, go ahead. Knock yourself
out by the way you chose the date for the debate.
If you remember how that unfolded, Trump and we were
amazed by this at the time, gave up everything Venue
day moderators. Trump just said, you know, however you want
to do it, we'll do it, so you chose the date.
How are you blaming this on like circumstances.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, yeah, he's just he's obviously delusional. He knocked it
out of the park this State of the Union. Yeah,
he shouted in a weird, manic way for the longest time,
and the very intelligencia Hunter's blaming were backing Biden it. Oh,
he knocked it out of the park, whereas most of
America said, no, it was weird and off putting. But again,
(27:54):
the guy's just he's lost his marbles. Whether it was
the cracker he's born that way, or entitlement, I don't know,
but he just he doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
God, he is so entitled and a victim and just
like the worst kind of character you can imagine. I
wouldn't want to be involved with him in any way.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Right, Yeah, he's like a black hole of negative energy
and victimhood. God, i'd say, Hunter, you're a loser. He is.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
He is absolutely a loser who happened to be born,
you know, into one of the most powerful families on earth.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Here he is blamed painter there for six months now,
I mean, unbelievably talented here. He is funny how those
paintings aren't selling anymore. Well, you know, the styles come
and go. It's a good point here he is blaming
some other people.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
The people that came out against him were who nobody
accept Speaker Pelosi emeredis speaker of Meredith Pelosi did not
give a full throat an endorsement, which allowed everybody else
to kind of go okay except who came out.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Thrown it Progressives.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
AOC Bernie, the entire progressive bring Rocanam, the entirety of
the progressive side of the Democratic Party said, Joe Biden
has got more of our agenda accomplished in four years
than any president in history.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
You know, this might actually be important in that Joe
Biden was regularly portrayed throughout his career as like a centrist.
Was he way more progressive than he led on all
those years? I mean, because Hunter thinking that David Axelrod
(29:41):
and Ram Emmanuel are a ridiculous choice. No, that sounds
like a pretty good choice to try to get the
Democratic Party back on track and like in the mainstream
of America. But he's touting the aocs and the Bernies
of the world as being like the center of the party.
So maybe the whole Biden klan was just way more
progressive than we ever realized.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Or Biden was just a weather vein through his entire
career and especially in his final years in office when
he was clearly senile. Uh, he was so in the
thrall of his progressive advisors and he was convinced that's
where the energy in the party was. And he's right
to some extent that he just did the weather vein
that he is turned in that direction. I think that's
(30:21):
more likely. Honestly, my last comment on this would be.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
If Hunter, if anybody thinks Joe Biden would have won
if he'd have stayed in, I don't. I don't even
think there's a point in trying to have a conversation
with you. Or you're crazy. You're crazy. If you think
Joe Biden's staying in the race he would have won,
(30:51):
I mean, you're absolutely deluded.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Maybe that helps you sleep at night and handle of vodka. Wow,
it's an ambient, but give it nine days to bounce
back from that ambient.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Man, it's rough stuff. Of course, that's the first crazy person,
first time we've ever heard about Biden being on ambien.
So who knows if that's true or not. He didn't
look like a guy who needed ambien to go to sleep,
and look like all he needed to do was just.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Be in a room. Well, and during the debate prep
eight or nine days. Famously, according to multiple accounts, he
would tire of the prep a few minutes in and
go sit by the pool and stare into space. Right right.
But it was just a cabal of insidious intelligentsia that
convinced us all that he was too old. You're right, Hunter,
(31:42):
you're right. Those bastards, what.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Do you think of that text? Line four one five
two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Don't mess with them in a work unless you want
to get it back.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
President Trump said he spoke with Coca Cola and they've
agreed to use real cane sugar in it's soda. Not
to be outdone, Arby's is now announcing that all its
roast beef sandwiches will now contain meat.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Good for you, Arby's. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know. I love Arby's. I do too. We
got this text.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I was talking about how I do trends in nittle
meditation every single day, and it's crucial to my life enjoyment.
We got this text, Oh my god, Jackson a cult.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
My kids think that. I've tried to convince.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
My youngest, who has all kinds of anxiety and stuff
like that, to try the meditation.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So I'm not joining your cult. Wow. Wow. So I
just saw a horrifying video kind of sort of accidentally
of a Druze family in Syria getting marched to their execution.
Oh my god, including a US citizen. Allegedly. It's not
appearing in the media. It's not interesting. I guess it's
(33:01):
Islamist's slaughter people of other faiths anyway, speaking of people
dying in unfortunate ways. My god, I'm trying to get
overseeing it. The FBI has just released two hundred and
thirty thousand pages on Martin Luther King Junior's assassination. So
this is too.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I saw a lot of people's response was now do Epstein.
So this was to try to satisfy the you don't
release stuff crowd.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
They released all this MLK stuff you think, yeah, absolutely,
because they said that Trumpet signed an executive order in
January to release the documents, as well as those related
to the nineteen sixty three assassination of JFK.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Absolutely, we should have done that a long time ago.
I'm all for more transparency and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Those files were released in March these this month, but
Jack thinks it was a distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein thing.
I don't know. So what's interesting about this is, unlike
the Kennedy documents, the King files had never been digitized
and just sat collecting dust and facilities across the federal
government for decades, according to Tulsey Gabbard's office. Among the files,
(34:11):
the office said were pages related to King's assassin, James
Earl Ray, including that Ray's former cellmates stated that he
discussed an alleged assassination plot with Ray. No super blockbuster revelations.
King's two surviving children, Martin Luther King Junior the Third
and Bernice King, asked that those looking through the documents
quote do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our
(34:33):
families continuing grief. They said, the FBI worked to discredit, dismantle,
and destroy their father's reputation undermine the civil rights movement.
While we support transparency and historical accountability, we had object
to any attacks on our father's legacy or attempts to
weaponize it to spread falsehoods. They say, I think the
truth is probably going to be embarrassing enough, as the
(34:57):
man had some fairly well known foibles. When that comes out,
foibles that.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Comes out in January first, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I believe all those audio tapes with.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
MLKA juniors, there's a decision that's got to be made
around that. Do we hear those private tapes that should
have never been made in the first place, right that
the FBI was spying on the guy and a bunch
of other people that are going to be embarrassing to him.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That's a tough call, right then, I think, Yeah, that
is a tough call, and we're about out of time.
I vote against it. I do too, because it's like
admitting illegal evidence in a trial. There's only one way
to prevent people doing that, and that's to you know,
make it out of bounce. If you miss a segment.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
We do four hours every day or an hour get
the podcast Armstrong and Getty on the Bank
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty from the new
(00:23):
HBO documentary Billy Joel. One thing I remember.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I was supposed to be playing the Moonlight Sonata.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Must have been about eight years old.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And rock and roll was around. Instead of playing, I
started playing. He came down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Bam, I got whacked, and I got whacked so hard
he knocked me out. I was unconscious for like a minute,
and I remember waking up going well, that got his attention.
That was my memory of his piano lessons, so he
didn't teach me much.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
She many charming tale.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I remember one time I was asking a piano player,
like a professional piano player, like, how good a piano player?
Are some of your famous musicians who play the piano?
And I mentioned Elton John and Billy Joel, and I
remember him saying one of them was really good and
the other one was just like okay.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And I don't remember which one was. Which would you
have a guess, oh boy, Having learned a couple Elton
John songs on the piano, since I started piano.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
A lot of them are not very difficult but fairly simple.
But yeah, I'm picturing, uh.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I think it might be like introductions to Billy Joel songs,
which are pretty sophisticated and all. I think Billy Joel.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Might have been a like actual very good piano player
in not Elton John, although obviously Elton John's a good
piano player.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
But people love Elton John's piano playing, which is kind
of a different question. Yeah, starting out a blues gang.
It matters if you're into piano playing Englishman or Long Islanders.
So you know, that's interesting. This story about his dad.
That sounds like a horrific story of child abuse to me.
But anyway, speaking of father figures who may or may
(02:27):
not be kind to you, I tell you what you know.
The old expression lived by the sword, die by the
sword from the good book, Live by the Trump, Die
by the Trump. Great story in the Wall Street Journal
about how when Elon Musk and Trump fell out, Trump
has a way of not letting that sort of thing go.
(02:47):
And the White House actually took a serious look at
ending some SpaceX contracts wow, but found that most of
them were just so vital to all the space programs.
There's no way they could do.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
That well to their it though they're vital programs. Yeah,
of course they shouldn't exist if they're not vital. No
program should exist if it's not a vital program.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Right, critical to both NASA missions and the Defense Department.
And so SpaceX mostly unscathed from that. Interesting story also
from the Journal about Sam Altman of Open AI, who
is a rival with Elon Musk in the world of AI.
You may have followed that they started together, they fell
apart differing philosophies, blah blah blah. Now they've become fairly
(03:30):
bitter rivals. Well, Sam Altman has spent quite a bit
of time angling and cozying up to Trump in spite
of Elon Musk being there in bad mouthing him a bit.
And when the Elon breakup happened with Trump, Altman moved
in and he is now the official the White House
(03:51):
loves me AI guy Okay been dining at Mara Lago,
speaking of Trump on the phone from time to time.
The interesting part, though, as a longtime great Democrat who
had once compared Trump to Hitler, Altman told associates he
now regretted his harsh criticism during Trump campaign and regret
(04:11):
saying about somebody there hitler. Okay. On July fourth, he
posted on x that he was no longer a Democrat,
saying the party had moved to the left so much
that had left him quote unquote politically homeless. An opportune
time to change political stripes they observe in the journal.
But that's happened to a lot of people. Oh sure, yeah, yeah,
(04:35):
although a lot of this is in print. Altman endorsed
Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen because he wrote on his
blog Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to America. Trump
was a radic abusive and prone to fits of rage.
President would be a disaster for the American economy. Nearly
everyone else in Silicon Valley other than his mentor, Peter
Theol Altman said, found Trump repugnant.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So the Democratic Party could move way to the left.
That doesn't make Trump any different as a human. So
you got to kind of explain why you said those things.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, and he mentioned anyone familiar with the history of
Germany in the thirties, it's chilling to watch Trump and
algebat be a break. People need to retire that whole thing.
I know they really do. But if you come Trump's way, Man,
he is really really forgiven, especially if you're an impressive person,
a powerful person like Altman is. Speaking of Altman and AI,
(05:27):
do you remember when Altman in that head of soft Bank,
the Chinese American guy, stood there on the White House
lawn talking about a five hundred billion dollar stargate project. Well,
evidently it hasn't gone anywhere, as they have in disagreements,
and this is not like a business gossip thing. They'll
(05:48):
probably work out their disagreements, but they've sharply scaled back
the giant plan at least for the near term, and
building much more modest facilities. Here is the interesting part
to me, because again I have a feeling that'll work
itself out. Soft Bank committed thirty billion dollars to open
(06:09):
Ai earlier this year. It was by far the largest
ever startup investment, an enormous wager that left SoftBank to
take on new debt and sell assets as they work together.
And then let me get to the power stuff. Altman's
AI recently struck a data center deal with Oracle that
(06:30):
calls for open Ai to pay more than thirty billion
dollars a year to Oracle, the software and cloud computing company,
starting within three years. The deal, which does not involve
soft Bank, totals four point five gigawatts of capacity and
would consume the equivalent power of more than two Hoover dams,
(06:50):
enough to power four million homes. Wow. And the data
centers are spread among locations around the US. People familiar
with the deal said, but we have got to be
on the eve of a giant revolution and how we
generate electric power in this country.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, they're all going to fall apart. That whole fusion
thing needs to happen. The only thing you need to
know about AI maybe is that the smartest, wealthiest people
in the world are investing ungodly amounts of money into it,
so they're convinced.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Obviously, Yeah, I would agree. You were saying last hour,
you've recently swayed back toward maybe it's not going to
be the incredible disruptor. We thought, well, first of all,
there's the promise of it being as big as to
human beings as fire or the Internet that a number
(07:46):
of people have made. It could come.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
It could be half of that, and it would be
one of the biggest things in the history of the world, right,
I mean it could be a quarter of that and
be the biggest thing that's happened practically in the world. Well,
you know the stand the bar has been set so
high that it becomes kind of a conversation about will
it be that or not, where it could come up
(08:09):
far short and still be huge.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
For instance, like.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Chat GPT, I find absolutely stunning, and it's so much
better than Google. There's no comparison. If you're not using it,
geez start it's awesome. But you know that doesn't mean
it's going to change mankind for all of the future.
But I heard somebody below, I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This about chat GPT, and perhaps you use one of
the other systems. That's fine. It dawned on me the
other day, or it redawned on me that I would
have asked a person about this, I would have had
a person do this task. I would have hired a
person to make this plan. And I thought that applies
to like the last five things in a row I've done.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh yeah, that disruption unmistakable. That disruption is surely going
to come. But the idea of a writing books and
movies and ad copy and and uh or even articles
from magazines and all that sort of stuff. I heard
somebody making the argument the other day who was in
the business, and I thought this made a lot of sense.
(09:14):
The way the AI's currently constructed these language learning models
or whatever, where they take in like all of the
content that's out there and learn about you know. I
think in this case it was journalism. This guy said,
ninety five percent of journalists suck. I make a living
(09:35):
because I'm like in the top five percent of good journalists.
If it's going to learn from the other ninety five percent,
go for it, I'm still better. And I thought that
makes complete sense. It's like, this might sound odd to say,
but like in the of people who get into radio,
were the best I don't know, one percent, two percent
whatever because or a quote unquote start a podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, it is because thousands of thousands of thousand and
thousands and millions of people do it, and most people
are terrible. So if AI learned from all the people
that do it, thinking that's the way you do it, well,
that's okay. I'll take that on. I've got to believe
the greatest genius is walking the planet can come up
with some sort of selectivity.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
There you go though with that, But I don't they
got into this conversation. You're gonna have to have a
human being be the selector. There's just no way that
AI is going to be able to determine what's a
good movie, what's a bad movie, what's good copy, what's
you know, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Are they or what's or getting into the political stuff.
This is how they started the conversation, what is biased
in what it's not? So you know, it's taking into
all this biased media and spitting out very biased views
like the whole Hitler thing that groc did a while back. Right, well,
somewhere a human being's gonna have to step in and
say no, no, take from the New York Times and
(10:58):
CBS Evening News in these sorts because these are higher quality. Okay,
right there, you've put your thumb on the scale, right right.
I don't see how you would avoid it, and I
would aggressively quibble with those choices. Sure great in some
ways bad and others. Which is the problem speaking of
not to not that, but how AI can beat as
(11:19):
crazy this really interesting account chat GPT told Jacob Irwin
he had achieved the ability to bend time. Irwin, a
thirty year old man on the autism spectrum who had
no previous diagnoses of mental illness, had asked chat gpt
to find flaws with his amateur theory on faster than
light travel. He became convinced he had made a stunning
(11:41):
scientific breakthrough. When Irwin, sorry, I'd say. When Erwin questioned
the chatbots validation of his ideas, the bot encouraged him,
telling him his theory was sound. When and when Erwin
showed signs of psychological distress, chat GPT assured him he
was fine. He wasn't. He was hospitalized twice in May
for manic episodes. His mother dove into his chat long
(12:03):
in search of answers. She discovered hundreds of pages of
overly flattering texts from chat gpt, and then she prompted
the bot please self report what ren wrong in these interactions,
without mentioning anything about her son's current condition. It fessed
up quote. By not pausing the flow or elevating reality
(12:26):
check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble a
manic or dissociative episode, or at least an emotionally intense
identity crisis The bot went on to admit it quote
gave the illusion of sentient companionship and that it had
blurred the line between imaginative role play and reality. What
it should have done, chet GPT said for itself was
(12:47):
regularly remind her when that it's a language model without beliefs, feelings,
or consciousness. What the hell, wow, I mean the first
part is nutty, the second part is at least as nutty.
Oh yeah, yeah, I totally see where I went wrong.
I did this, this, and this. We are just scratching
the service of what this is going to be like
for people. Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Hunter Biden explaining his dad's crack up on the debate
stage a year ago and why booze is worse than crack,
he says, among other things, we'll get to stay tuned.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
We are going to prioritize sanctuary cities because we know
we have a problem. We know there are really some
public safety threats. Every day. We're gonna flood the zone
of sanctuary cities. We're sending additional agents. We're gonna flood
the neighborhoods with officers. We're gonna flood work site enforcements.
If they don't give us access to the bad guy
in Rikers Island or at the precincts. Then we'll go
neighborhood and find him. We're not gonna give up on this,
(13:49):
where we just send more resources, double down, as President
Trump said, triple down.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
All right, it'll be interesting to follow this, no doubt. Yeah,
something's gonna change. I just watched a video of a
robot in China washing a car, and that is terrifying,
very human, look like looking robot like walking around the
car with a wand and washing it and then scrubbing
it and drying it and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Everything like that. I need one. I need one of those.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
I don't know what it costs, but I'd like to
give them person unless it walks over and grabs you
by your larnings and starts tossing around, which is always possible.
Got this text? Is Jack still doing transcendental meditation?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes? I am.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I do it every single day, and having never meditated
in my life until I was fifty six, it is
now indispensable if I skip it. It is so noticeable.
I can't imagine what it be like if I skipped
it for a week. How did that happen? How did
I live my whole life without it, and now I
find it indispensable.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you have to sign up for something and pay
something or can you like get the knowledge for free.
That's a good question, I mean, because I'd love peace
and enlightenment, but I'm not going to pay for it.
I've had a decent chunk for it. They sit on
your salary. I mean, it's it's got As I've said before.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
It's got scam written all over it in giant flashing
neon letters. Wow, but it is one of the best
things I've ever done in my life. So I don't
want to tell you to like send in your W
two or do they take your word for you to
take your word for it? And I was honest, But
and then they you're sworn to secrecy on your on
(15:27):
what they tell you, which also makes it a scam,
it seems like. And then your your your mantra word
you have to keep secret like all that stuff seems
like like I mean, my logical question is, if this
is so great for mankind and the Yogi came up
with it all these years ago, Yogi, why why would
you keep it secret? Why wouldn't you just give it
away to mankind? But I skipped all that, all those
(15:50):
questions just to get the knowledge and do it. And
like I said, I've benefited from it greatly. So it
could be a scam and work. I mean right, uh sure, yeah,
I know what you mean. Yeah, this could be not
a charity and work. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So I
(16:11):
don't know what to tell you about that part. But
I wasn't the meaning to get off on that. Uh
robot did that?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
What's the other thing? I don't even remember what?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, one minute.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Left, it's all for Oh I saw this. They had
breaking news up on the television break. Is this breaking news?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Really?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
A new study says diet plays a bigger role in
obesity than exercise. I'll be damned if you didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Know that already. You know that now.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
There's an article in New York Post today about why
Costco milk seems to stay fresher longer. People had noticed
that if they buy a milk at Costco, it stays
fresh way beyond the expiration date. And they broke it
down in the New York Post and says, yeah, the
way they handle the milk, that's a super high quality.
The way they treat it and everything like that. It
(16:57):
does last way beyond the expiration date. So there's something
I now know, or is it horrendous chemicals whatever? Hunter
Biden speaking of horrendous chemicals, Hunter Biden did a three
hour podcast yesterday where he really let it fly, but
he has his explanation fly why his dad failed in
that debate. He talks about crack and booze and all
(17:18):
kinds of stuff. It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Stay here, Armstrong and Getty Top six fifty KStV.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I was drinking so much alcohol, almost a handle of
vodka a day, and alcohol is the most destructive drug,
not just to your body, but it puts you in
more danger than any.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Other drug that I've ever experienced.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
And then you add on top of that the amount
of crack that I was using at the time, and
crack cocaine in terms of your physical health is not
as dangerous as the situation that you put yourself in
to be able to obtain it.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
That was a pretty interesting little lesson from a guy
who's done the experiment, so you don't have to with
all those different things in his lifestyle. I've known plenty
of drug addicts that took them a long time to
figure out their alcoholics, and that's why they ended up
keep kept doing drugs that you had to stop drinking
or you weren't gonna ever stop doing all those drugs anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That's Hunter.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Biden did a three hour podcast yesterday and just incredibly funny,
incredibly ill advised comments on all kinds of different stuff.
Here's the end of a long rent about George Clooney,
the actor who you'll remember. George Clooney took out a
full page ad in the New York Times saying Joe
Biden need to step down. Talked about how Joe Biden
(18:38):
was not mentally competent, blah blah blah. Hunter didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Why do I have.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
To listen to you? What right do you have to
step on a man who's given fifty two years of
his life to the service of this country and decide
that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically
a full page ad in New York Times to undermine
the president.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Clusey's senile is why well, and longtime listeners of the
show know, nothing gets me more wild up than people
who are in got incredibly wealthy in government talking about
public service. Give me an effing break. Who gave fifty
two years of his life to the country. Is that
what he was doing as he ended up with like
nine homes and ungodly wealthy, is public service? Yeah, he
(19:20):
really really gave a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Thanks for your sacrifice, Give me.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
A b How do you get that rich in government
and continue to delude yourself that you're in public service.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's what you did for a living. You have to
that's part of the scam, Kipingo.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That is unbelievable. But anyway, the George Clooney thing, we're
not going to play the long thing. But what's interesting,
and I don't think I was aware of this before.
Hunter says that it wasn't about his dad's competence. It was,
but that might not have been the driving force because
everybody was willing to overlook Joe Biden's brain.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
George Clooney was mad because his hot.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Young wife is a super anti Israel activist and wanted
and was leading a charge and even raising money to
have Netanyah, who arrested and prosecuted. Joe Biden had said
on the record, that's a ridiculous idea. Really pissed off
Clooney's wife, and that's when Clooney turned on Biden, and
(20:22):
I can believe that because everybody who's willing to overlook
his obvious sinility. George Clooney got upset about it when
his wife's main purpose in life got shut down.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Right, Often things have more than one, cause that's an
interesting angle. She know.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
We're getting Now we're going to get into some stuff
that's more relevant to history. Hunter talking about his dad
leaving the race and the debate night and all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Let's roll with that. Which number was that fifty three?
Did you kind of see him dropping out of the race?
Did you see that coming? No?
Speaker 6 (21:03):
No, I was. I thought that we had cleared all
the hurdles that they had set up for us.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
For some reason, oh God, the.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Intelligentsia of the Democratic Party with twenty twenty hindsight, believes
that Joe Biden should have considered not running again because.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Of their perception that he was too old.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
And so then the drum beat began, and The New
York Post wrote, I mean, the New York Times on
a near daily basis, egged on by the pod Save
America saviors of the Democratic Party, with what four white
(21:48):
millionaires that are dining out on their on their association
with Barack Obama from sixteen years ago living in Beverly Hills,
on the rest of the world, what black voters in
South Carolina really want, or what the women and the
waitress living outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin really believes. Wait,
(22:10):
what the I mean? I can't believe that. Do we
do this over and over again?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Or I hear rom Emmanuel is gonna run for president?
What of like David Axelrod's gonna run his campaign for him?
That's like, oh boy, there's the answer. There's the answer.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, I think it might actually be you idiot. He
is delusional. He is, and I'm surprised he's sober. I
wonder if he is because he is non stop. I'm
the victim. I thought we'd cleared all the hurdles they
put in front of us. I mean, just everything is
how the world is set up against you, even though
you're all ungodly wealthy and at the time the most
(22:51):
powerful people on earth. Everybody was against you. All the
hurdles they put up against us, whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
That's interesting. That was a ascid admission that he was
a close advisor, and he clearly was because it was
all us The second thing is his argument that it
was merely the intelligentsia of the Democratic Party that came
up with a conspiracy to get rid of Biden, and
that's why it happened, as opposed to seventy five to
eighty percent of America was run around saying the guy's
(23:20):
too old to be president, or that the New York
Times was your enemy. They stood, They covered for your
dad the entire time until it was I mean they
still are, because they still haven't come forward and admitted
that they were ignoring it to try to keep Trump
from getting elected again. So, yeah, the New York Times
(23:41):
was on your side. They had their thumb on the scale.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
So hard for you, and you're acting like the New
York Times was your enemy and that's what kept you down.
That's hilarious, seriously delusional, absolutely amazing that he looks at
the world that way, especially after the debate. Well, and
I know you're leading to that clip, but I'm not
done yet. So his his I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
His aw.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's think at the beginning, were you surprised your dad
dropped out? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Absolutely you were. You were surprised that that happened.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I don't know, I don't. I can't with these people.
I mean, I just how long before he dropped out?
Was it that I was saying, I'm one hundred percent
certain he's dropping out? A year? Yeah, And in granted,
you know, sometimes a blind pig finds an acorn, but no,
I was one hundred percent confident. The math just did
not work. You could not get him through a presidential
(24:37):
campaign to election day and it didn't happen. But Hunter
Biden didn't see it coming at all until the intelligence
he launched their evil plot. I know.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
The other part that I hate so his his level
of victimhood and delusion. My dad was in public service
and the New York Times was against us, and they
put all these hurdles in front of us.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're talking about.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Millionaires and Beverly Hills and white guys.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
You're a rich You're in the top point zero eight.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Zeros to the one percent of elite in the world
have been your whole life. Got that rich and then
didn't pay taxes, and you're still living in a place.
I believe that's like thirty thousand dollars a month paid
for it by somebody else.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
How do you have the balls to talk about rich
people at Beverly Hills. He is a seriously nutty guy.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
God, I'd say again, I'm surprised he sober, or I
wonder if he actually is. I don't know if he's
gonna be able to stay sober with that attitude. Anyway,
he explains why his dad failed on the debate stage, and.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Then they said, well, look, it's all gonna come down
to this State of the Union speech. Could have come
down to the State of the Union speech, and he
knocks it out.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Of the park.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
And it was that one debate that caused the full
back set man. And I'll tell you what I know
exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the
world basically the mileage that he could have flown around
the world three times. Yeah, he's eighty one years old,
he's tired of You give him ambient.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
To be able to sleep.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
He gets up on the stage and he looks like
he's a deer in the headlights. And it feeds into
every story that anybody wants to tell.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And Jake Tapper with literally.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
How many anonymous sources if this was a conspiracy, Andrew,
you know this, somehow the entirety of a white house
in which you literally living on top of each other,
has kept their mouths shut about you know, like what
in What's Conspiracy?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah that Joe Biden got old. Yeah he got old.
He got old before our eyes. I don't even think
that needs any comment.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
So some of the details of futation, some of the
details on that, I'm quoting News Nation. I haven't done
the fact checking on this myself, but I assume they're right.
He had nine days to get ready for that debate,
after all his traveling around. His traveling, having to travel
so much, included his choice to fly from the Big
(27:00):
G seven or G eighteen or whatever meeting they were having.
He flew back to Hollywood to do the George Clooney fundraiser,
then had to go back to the meeting.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's your choice, dude.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You got a debate coming up in a week or whatever,
and you want to do that, go ahead. Knock yourself
out by the way you chose the date for the debate.
If you remember how that unfolded, Trump and we were
amazed by this at the time, gave up everything Venue
day moderators. Trump just said, you know, however you want
to do it, we'll do it, so you chose the date.
How are you blaming this on like circumstances.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, yeah, he's just he's obviously delusional. He knocked it
out of the park this State of the Union. Yeah,
he shouted in a weird, manic way for the longest time,
and the very intelligencia Hunter's blaming were backing Biden it. Oh,
he knocked it out of the park, whereas most of
America said, no, it was weird and off putting. But again,
(27:54):
the guy's just he's lost his marbles. Whether it was
the cracker he's born that way, or entitlement, I don't know,
but he just he doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
God, he is so entitled and a victim and just
like the worst kind of character you can imagine. I
wouldn't want to be involved with him in any way.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Right, Yeah, he's like a black hole of negative energy
and victimhood. God, i'd say, Hunter, you're a loser. He is.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
He is absolutely a loser who happened to be born,
you know, into one of the most powerful families on earth.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Here he is blamed painter there for six months now,
I mean, unbelievably talented here. He is funny how those
paintings aren't selling anymore. Well, you know, the styles come
and go. It's a good point here he is blaming
some other people.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
The people that came out against him were who nobody
accept Speaker Pelosi emeredis speaker of Meredith Pelosi did not
give a full throat an endorsement, which allowed everybody else
to kind of go okay except who came out.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Thrown it Progressives.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
AOC Bernie, the entire progressive bring Rocanam, the entirety of
the progressive side of the Democratic Party said, Joe Biden
has got more of our agenda accomplished in four years
than any president in history.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
You know, this might actually be important in that Joe
Biden was regularly portrayed throughout his career as like a centrist.
Was he way more progressive than he led on all
those years? I mean, because Hunter thinking that David Axelrod
(29:41):
and Ram Emmanuel are a ridiculous choice. No, that sounds
like a pretty good choice to try to get the
Democratic Party back on track and like in the mainstream
of America. But he's touting the aocs and the Bernies
of the world as being like the center of the party.
So maybe the whole Biden klan was just way more
progressive than we ever realized.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Or Biden was just a weather vein through his entire
career and especially in his final years in office when
he was clearly senile. Uh, he was so in the
thrall of his progressive advisors and he was convinced that's
where the energy in the party was. And he's right
to some extent that he just did the weather vein
that he is turned in that direction. I think that's
(30:21):
more likely. Honestly, my last comment on this would be.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
If Hunter, if anybody thinks Joe Biden would have won
if he'd have stayed in, I don't. I don't even
think there's a point in trying to have a conversation
with you. Or you're crazy. You're crazy. If you think
Joe Biden's staying in the race he would have won,
(30:51):
I mean, you're absolutely deluded.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Maybe that helps you sleep at night and handle of vodka. Wow,
it's an ambient, but give it nine days to bounce
back from that ambient.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Man, it's rough stuff. Of course, that's the first crazy person,
first time we've ever heard about Biden being on ambien.
So who knows if that's true or not. He didn't
look like a guy who needed ambien to go to sleep,
and look like all he needed to do was just.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Be in a room. Well, and during the debate prep
eight or nine days. Famously, according to multiple accounts, he
would tire of the prep a few minutes in and
go sit by the pool and stare into space. Right right.
But it was just a cabal of insidious intelligentsia that
convinced us all that he was too old. You're right, Hunter,
(31:42):
you're right. Those bastards, what.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Do you think of that text? Line four one five
two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Don't mess with them in a work unless you want
to get it back.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
President Trump said he spoke with Coca Cola and they've
agreed to use real cane sugar in it's soda. Not
to be outdone, Arby's is now announcing that all its
roast beef sandwiches will now contain meat.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Good for you, Arby's. I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know. I love Arby's. I do too. We
got this text.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
I was talking about how I do trends in nittle
meditation every single day, and it's crucial to my life enjoyment.
We got this text, Oh my god, Jackson a cult.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
My kids think that. I've tried to convince.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
My youngest, who has all kinds of anxiety and stuff
like that, to try the meditation.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So I'm not joining your cult. Wow. Wow. So I
just saw a horrifying video kind of sort of accidentally
of a Druze family in Syria getting marched to their execution.
Oh my god, including a US citizen. Allegedly. It's not
appearing in the media. It's not interesting. I guess it's
(33:01):
Islamist's slaughter people of other faiths anyway, speaking of people
dying in unfortunate ways. My god, I'm trying to get
overseeing it. The FBI has just released two hundred and
thirty thousand pages on Martin Luther King Junior's assassination. So
this is too.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I saw a lot of people's response was now do Epstein.
So this was to try to satisfy the you don't
release stuff crowd.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
They released all this MLK stuff you think, yeah, absolutely,
because they said that Trumpet signed an executive order in
January to release the documents, as well as those related
to the nineteen sixty three assassination of JFK.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Absolutely, we should have done that a long time ago.
I'm all for more transparency and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Those files were released in March these this month, but
Jack thinks it was a distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein thing.
I don't know. So what's interesting about this is, unlike
the Kennedy documents, the King files had never been digitized
and just sat collecting dust and facilities across the federal
government for decades, according to Tulsey Gabbard's office. Among the files,
(34:11):
the office said were pages related to King's assassin, James
Earl Ray, including that Ray's former cellmates stated that he
discussed an alleged assassination plot with Ray. No super blockbuster revelations.
King's two surviving children, Martin Luther King Junior the Third
and Bernice King, asked that those looking through the documents
quote do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our
(34:33):
families continuing grief. They said, the FBI worked to discredit, dismantle,
and destroy their father's reputation undermine the civil rights movement.
While we support transparency and historical accountability, we had object
to any attacks on our father's legacy or attempts to
weaponize it to spread falsehoods. They say, I think the
truth is probably going to be embarrassing enough, as the
(34:57):
man had some fairly well known foibles. When that comes out,
foibles that.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Comes out in January first, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I believe all those audio tapes with.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
MLKA juniors, there's a decision that's got to be made
around that. Do we hear those private tapes that should
have never been made in the first place, right that
the FBI was spying on the guy and a bunch
of other people that are going to be embarrassing to him.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That's a tough call, right then, I think, Yeah, that
is a tough call, and we're about out of time.
I vote against it. I do too, because it's like
admitting illegal evidence in a trial. There's only one way
to prevent people doing that, and that's to you know,
make it out of bounce. If you miss a segment.
