Joe Getty
And now here's Armstrong and Yeti. In a recent interview, Kamala Harris told
Jack Armstrong
Don Lemon that, quote, we each have
Joe Getty
a light inside us.
Jack Armstrong
True.
Joe Getty
Hers is called Bud
Jack Armstrong
Greg Gutfeld with an opportunity to bring back his Kamala Harris is a drunk line of humor.
Joe Getty
We have some really fresh prime new Kamala audio to play for you later.
Jack Armstrong
I haven't heard all of it, but I have heard the response to Don Lemon, which was just classic Kamala Harris nonsense.
Joe Getty
Oh, I can't wait.
Jack Armstrong
We'll have to get to a little bit later.
Joe Getty
Yeah. So, big day today. It's toward the end of June and the SCOTUS, the SUPEs, the berobed wonders are about to unleash a bunch of big decisions on us.
Jack Armstrong
One has already them robes get hot in the summertime, so it gets about this time of year and they're like, God dang it, I'm sweltering under this thing. So they release their things and they hightail it out of there, right?
Joe Getty
Well, first they strip down naked under the robes just to get a little air circulating. But then it's. It's all just too much and they leave town. You. Hey, you would do so one decision is out. Jack helpfully blowing his nose into the microphone.
Jack Armstrong
I thought I turned my microphone off. I meant to.
Joe Getty
I usually do. That's beautiful. Thanks for that. The first ruling is out.
Jack Armstrong
Edit that out of the podcast.
Joe Getty
Hansen, don't. Cisco Systems Inc. Versus Do a fascinating case having to do with the Chinese persecution of Falun Gong members and how they browbeat Cisco Systems into something, something online surveillance, blah, blah. Could you prosecute under the alien tort statute, aiding and abetting, blah, blah, blah. Okay, that's as far as I'm even going to try to go with it. Very technical having to do with some specific statutes.
Jack Armstrong
But the main, the crux of it being that the Falun Gong people saying that the Chinese Communist Party had established a nationwide surveillance program in our country.
Joe Getty
Correct, Correct. Yeah. But the case itself, remember the Supreme Court's answer settles questions more than makes rulings. And, and this was a very technical one about 28 USC 1350. And so again, it just, it failed because Congress needs to do more. Blah, blah, blah.
Jack Armstrong
We probably just don't even know that. Scratching the surface of how much the Chinese Communist Party does have a surveillance system for our entire nation.
Joe Getty
Oh yeah, yeah. Oh, we've got ExxonMobil Corp. Vs Corporation CMEX of Cuba. Oh, it has to do with the Cuban government confiscating the property of American nationals in 1960 and transferring it to state owned enterprises.
Jack Armstrong
Anything like really big, like gay marriage
Joe Getty
or, or bigger than Cuban property confiscation
Jack Armstrong
or Roe versus Wade or maybe taking your gun rights away from you or anything like that today.
Joe Getty
No indeed. Now, I might be missing something. I read a preview last week where they pointed out that what's big this week is the supes may well spank Trump on a couple of things including birthright citizenship. And what was the other big one? I can't remember. And I remember reading the preview and thinking, all right, that's kind of through the lens of your either feverish for Trump or feverish against Trump. And could this cause an even greater rift between Trump of the Supreme Court, Blah, blah, blah. I just want to see the rulings so we'll bring them to you when they come.
Jack Armstrong
So there is a. I don't know if it's big enough to call a crash yet in the stock market started yesterday. And your tech stocks, all your biggest stocks in the world that are making everybody rich are AI Related things. And they went down a lot yesterday. Wall Street Journal. As of right this moment, the tech sell off is accelerating with the NASDAQ composite tumbling more than 2%. Alphabet, Google, Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, Oracle, Tesla, all opened sharply lower following steep losses in big tech stocks yesterday. I only mention this because it's certainly possible at some point we have a giant crash around this whole I. AI thing and I'm not smart enough to understand why things continue a while. It's like watching an authoritarian regime fall. Everything seems fine up until the moment it's not.
Joe Getty
And then before you know it, you're hung by your heels in the town square. Yep.
Jack Armstrong
And we've seen this with stock market stuff before where everything's cruising along fine and some people are worried about a bubble until the moment that it's not fine. And then, man, everything changes overnight and your 401k is worth half what it was last week and you feel like a doofus buy.
Joe Getty
We will. We will, sir. Thank you. Yeah, I've intentionally not been looking at anything for the last couple of weeks because the tech stocks were so, so frothy, as the late Alan Greenspan once said about the housing market, and he was right. Should have done more. Yeah, it's. It's so wild and so disconnected from conventional stock valuations. I've just kind of been waiting for it. I'm not happy about it, but those gains were insane. So if some of them go away, I don't know, how much can I grind?
Jack Armstrong
Well, a lot of the gains are based just on the CEO of whichever company making some sort of promise that nobody has any idea if it'll ever come true.
Joe Getty
All right. And a lot of the revenue is from themselves or the companies they just bought and what have you. Oh, we have Landor vs. Louisiana Department of Corrections and Public Safety. Jackson.
Jack Armstrong
Back to the tech stocks crashing briefly.
Joe Getty
It's a religious freedom thing in prison.
Jack Armstrong
I guess one of your big tech CEOs dismissed the idea of building AI data centers in space, saying, yeah, the cost really weighs out, outweighs the benefits. It's just not going to happen. So, whoa, wait, what? You got Elon and others saying this is absolutely the future and it's going to make SpaceX is going to be 50 times more valuable than it is now and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And then you got this other tech guy saying, yeah, it's never really going to happen and I haven't got the slightest idea which is true or when. But so much speculation. Has there ever been this much speculation outside of the dot com boom ever in the stock market where it's just fanciful. I think this could be huge.
Joe Getty
1929. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to admit, it's, it's all pretty worrisome, but can you cut a Rastafarian's hair in prison? That is the question on most people's minds today, Jack.
Jack Armstrong
And the Supreme Court has ruled on that.
Joe Getty
Yes, after word from our friends at Rough Greens, America's number one dog supplement. Perhaps you have a. No, that's not good. That's disrespectful.
Jack Armstrong
Well, he wouldn't want that, right?
Joe Getty
Rough Greens has all the stuff that your dog's food is missing. You don't have to buy a crazy expensive new food. Just sprinkle rough greens on top of your dog's food.
Jack Armstrong
So you can ask any dog owner in a vet's office who hears the word cancer. Joint deterioration, organ failure. Everybody has the same feeling. They'd have done anything to prevent that. Well, maybe you can prevent that, or at least put it off for a while. With rough greens for pennies a day, you can give your dog what their food is missing. Life. Probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, 20 other vitamins and minerals. And it's all natural, made in the United States. And why wouldn't you try it? Because it costs nothing but the shipping.

R u f f greens.com code ARMSTRONG rough greens makes any dog food better. So you got Damon Landor, who sued the Louisiana Corrections Department and some of the prison system's individual officers in their individual capacities, personal capacities. Seeking damages from them is a Rasta. It requires him to leave his hair uncut. He claims that the officers, despite being aware of his religious beliefs, forcibly shaved his head. The officers moved to dismiss. Held individuals may not be held liable in their personal capacities under a spending clause statute unless those individuals have voluntarily and knowingly consented to answer lawsuits under the statute because the individual defendants in this case did not voluntarily and knowingly consent to face liability, blah, blah, blah, they proceed against him. It sounds like some of the limited immunity stuff.
Jack Armstrong
So the guy getting his haircut. See, my. My initial thought is that as a dullard would be, hey, you're in prison, we get to cut your hair. But I suppose somebody could explain to me various religious freedoms that need to be upheld and that could matter to all of us someday. But my initial thought is, you're in prison. Get a haircut.
Joe Getty
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This has to do with the prison guards and being able to sue them. You know, on the merits of what you're talking about, I'd have to know, what's the state's interest in not having a guy have hair down to his arse? I don't know. You go to prison, you give up a lot of your rights, some of your most precious rights, but not your religious rights. Not religion, not most of the First Amendment. You can't peaceably assemble necessarily. You can when they tell you it's all right in the yard, but you can't just say, hey, I'm going to peaceably assemble with the snake face over there. It's not the way it works.
Jack Armstrong
I see Kenny G up on the TV and I'm reminded that we would not have Kenny G if it weren't for Clive Davis who died yesterday. And it's getting a lot of attention and maybe Joe can explain to me why it's getting a lot of attention. We got a little bit on that
Joe Getty
baby boomer's self obsession.
Jack Armstrong
If you like music, it's a big deal. Apparently, if you like, like pretty much any kind of music, he, he, he had a lot to do with that. Yeah. And then we'll get to that Kamala Harris nom sense. It's kind of fun. It's like, it's like slipping into a warm tub. It's so comfy.
Joe Getty
Oh, it's familiar. It's funny. You're right. It's perfect. It's the perfect summertime fair.
Jack Armstrong
You get to look down on someone, which is always fun.
Joe Getty
An idiot.

Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll hall of Famer Clive Davis died on Monday at 94 years old. The man with the Golden Year is responsible for discovering dozens of powerhouse names in the music industry. At 28 years old, he joined Columbia Records as associate counsel. By 35, he was president of the label. His family says he died from an age related illness at his home in New York City.
Jack Armstrong
So Clive Davis, a name that I've heard for many years and I feel like I knew something about him long ago. But I have done a successful job of pushing almost all music information out of my head. Stuff that I used to know no longer exists there. So I don't really know what he was was responsible for these people. I'm looking at the list here.
Joe Getty
Go ahead.
Jack Armstrong
Janis Joplin, Santana, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Pink Floyd, Chicago, Lou Reed, Whitney Houston, Barry Manlow, Carly Simon, Kenny G, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Jennifer Hudson, Notorious B.I.G. sean Combs, Outcast, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Kerry Underwood. I mean, the list is insane.
Joe Getty
So I think you left out Chicago, Earth, Wind and Fire, Aerosmith, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Ace of Bass, for goodness sakes, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow.
Jack Armstrong
You probably mentioned in what way is he responsible for Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel and all those other people? I mean, that's quite a list.
Joe Getty
Yeah, he was, as the news report said, he was a young attorney who got a gig as an attorney for a record company in the 60s. And he had an incredible passion for music. He just loved music. And he had, you know, they called him the man with the golden ear. So he was a really interesting combination of he had the business and legal smarts to handle the business end, but he had like an unbelievable ear for oh my God, we gotta sign those people. And so he would go like he was talked into going to the was it the Monterey Jazz Festival or Pop Festival? Monterey pop festival in 1967, got talked into it. He immediately signed Janis Joplin and the Big Brother in the holding company there and then went on to sign Laura Nero Electric Flag, Santana, Chambers Brothers, Springsteen, Chicago, Billy Joel, et cetera, in quick succession after that. So, you know, that's the story. And then he was super artist friendly. You know, he was an ass kicking exec in a time when artists didn't get great deals. And there are some kind of funny sarcastic mentions of him in songs throughout the years. But yeah, he was, he was one of the super heavyweights of the music industry who didn't play.
Jack Armstrong
What's interesting is that across so many different genres, I get how you could have an ear for country or rock or what, but, but having an ear for, you know, Chicago and Janis Joplin and Whitney Houston and you know, just like very, very different kinds of music. Yeah, and having an ear means. Because it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, it's whether you think it's something the public would buy because it's all about making money.
Joe Getty
Right, right. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
My favorite part of the story that they had on the CBS news was last night was so then he starts at Columbia, whatever they said there. He's 28, he's running the place by 35 or something like that. Then he gets caught stealing office supplies basically and gets fired from the place and sued. And then he starts his own company, Arista. Was that the one he started? Yeah, yeah, he started Arista and saw Whitney Houston in a club and hired her immediately and that launched that thing. And then he kind of had like a second act with a whole bunch of different people.
Joe Getty
Then he started a label with LA Reid and Baby Face and signed all sorts of with them, you know, soul and R and B acts and stuff like that. So yeah, he was fired actually From CBS in 1973, this says, allegedly for using company funds to bankroll his son's bar mitzvah, which you mentioned. And then he. Another article said he got fired amid allegations of misuse of funds and providing drugs to artists and disc jockeys as part of an alleged payola scam.
Jack Armstrong
Shocking.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I know. Cocaine and cash. Yeah, we missed that era of radio probably. Fortunately, I'd have taken the cash. The coke wouldn't have done me any good.
Jack Armstrong
You know, I don't condone all these sorts of things, but I'm sure he felt like as the guy who was just basically responsible for the whole flipping organization, that he thought, I spent $8,000 on my kids bar mitzvah. I've made $50 million for this company this year. Leave me alone.
Joe Getty
Right, right. So I sold a copier. It didn't work very well anyway.
Jack Armstrong
So I gave Bruce Springsteen some cocaine. Get off my back.
Joe Getty
The part of this you might find interesting as folks who, I presume at least a lot of you, love music. Was that the whole plugola thing? Payola thing was back when individual disc jockeys picked the records they played. Either they had 100% creative freedom or a hell of a lot of creative freedom. And that's what made radio so unique across America. And we're into the business just toward the tail end of that. But, man, some of the great freeform stations in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, Louisiana. For that matter, were amazing. I'm sure tapes of those exist. And the music they played, I'd love to hear more of it.
Jack Armstrong
How do you have an ear for, like, you. You hear this person and you predict, wow. They could make a lot of money for the company for both Kenny G and P. Diddy Combs.
Joe Getty
I mean, how does that even read?
Jack Armstrong
How is that even. What is it? I don't even know what that is.
Cindy Crawford
Right.
Jack Armstrong
He heard Kenny G and thought, oh, there's money to be made there, as
Joe Getty
opposed to, are you ready to soft rock?
Jack Armstrong
Like, I'm in a club and I hear Kenny G and I think, I gotta go see if I can get my money back. I paid $8 to get in here.
Joe Getty
Come on, Kenny Guts. And talented saxophonist
Jack Armstrong
Joe and I played a lot of Kenny G when we were working at a soft AC radio station, doing music radio as disc jockeys. Lots of Kenny G. All the begins.
Joe Getty
Oh, so lame. Oh, so we were working. I want to get up in the morning and listen to really soft music. All right.
Jack Armstrong
We were doing mornings at a soft rock radio station playing Kenny G. And during the records, we'd be thinking, what kind of person wants to start their day with this? And whoever they are, they're not the sort of people we want to talk to.
Joe Getty
And speaking for myself, I spend every minute thinking, what am I doing here? Oh, wow. Anyway, many, many years ago, shockingly many
Jack Armstrong
years ago, Clive Davis. You'll be missed. He shouldn't have stolen those office supplies. He could have stayed at the original company.
Joe Getty
But Clive Davis was smart. Kamala Harris is stupid. We've got some new Kamala audio for you at least. She's very bad at making words make sense.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, she ain't good at that. And a bunch of other stuff on the way.
Joe Getty

See full mobile.com it's always tough to predict that. I think if we continue to go down in the cases that we're seeing right now and more and more people get vaccinated as the dynamics of the outbreak, namely the amount of virus circulating in the community, goes down, I hope we'll be able to pull back on some of those restrictions to get closer to what we really feel is normal in the community. I hope that soon, but I can't give a prediction of a date on that.

Joe Biden with some unfinished business, issuing preemptive pardons for public officials who'd incurred Trump's wrath, including former top health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Jack Armstrong
Anthony Fauci named one of People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive. I represent science, the most respected voice of the pandemic.
Joe Getty
Oh, he kept us all safe, didn't he, Jack? By imposing ludicrous, unconstitutional restrictions that did no good. Thank God for Anthony Fauci.
Jack Armstrong
Way longer than needed to happen.
Joe Getty
Oh, right, yeah, and he caused it too. Probably so on her way out the door last Friday, Tulsi Gabbard released a bunch of classic declassified evidence accusing Fauci essentially of causing the COVID 19 pandemic, then engaging in a cover up about the virus's origins in China and then lying to Congress about it. And as Miranda Devine writes in the New York Post, perhaps most disturbingly, he was assisted by the U.S. intelligence Committee, which is why Tulsi Gabbard got into it. And you know, she I'll go ahead and just let Miranda say it. It's time you know the truth, she said Friday. This has Gotten no coverage in the mainstream media. For what it's worth, never before seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions of dollars in US taxpayers to fund dangerous gain of function. Research at the Wuhan Lab worked with politicized elements within the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus's lab leak origin. And then lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. The tactics used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Interestingly, two days after the Friday release, on her last day on Sunday, the Washington Post ran a 9,000 word hit piece accusing Gabbard of taking instructions from a Hindu cult leader, describing in the headline, described in the headline as her guru. I remember that whole weird religion thing her family was into came out when she first came on the scene and was running for president at one point and I thought, wow, that's odd. And some people say she's still into them. She says she's not. I thought that was odd, quirky. But that was years ago. Two days after she releases this information 9,000 word piece about her somewhat off kilter religious beliefs, past and or present.
Jack Armstrong
For some reason I don't remember the religious belief story.
Joe Getty
Yeah, her family grew up in a weird Hawaiian pseudo pineapple cult. Yeah, something like that, says Miranda. It was a gratuitous exercise. Gratuitous exercise in guilt by association masquerading as an investigation. Another tactic straight from the Deep State playbook. Meanwhile, the Washington Post did not publish a word about Gabbard's Fauci revelations, nor for that matter did any mainstream outlet on the left. The same news organizations that helped cover up the origins of the COVID 19 pound pandemic, now overwhelmingly believed to have come from a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, are still refusing to come clean on liberal social media platform Blue Sky. They're still talking about wet markets and pangolins.
Jack Armstrong
So I believe Anthony Fauci is a villain in this whole thing and always will. But why did Tulsi Gabbard wait until the day she's headed out the door to release this stuff?
Joe Getty
I don't know.
Jack Armstrong
That doesn't make sense.
Joe Getty
I'm scanning to see if they address that at all. And on a Friday. Right, right, yeah, yeah. Miranda goes into a great deal of length and detail about how the intelligence community helped him out on this. Fauci was the behind the scenes advisor who along with his hand picked so called experts, pushed the intelligence community to endorse a natural animal origin to Hide his dangerous gain of function research that he funded using taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, Fauci's nemesis, maverick senator Red Rand Paul, was again sent criminal referrals to the DOJ. Perhaps more significantly, Paul insisted the 11 year blanket pardon President Biden issued for Fauci on his last minutes in office should be challenged in court because it was signed with an auto pen and because of its rare retrospective nature.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, so like you, you said yesterday you wanna see him punished. I don't care about that as much as the truth coming out. He's a very old man. I'd be perfectly fine with him going to jail, but I just don't wanna get bogged down in that versus everybody knowing what he actually did. I wish somehow that could come to light.
Joe Getty
Yeah, I think we're into. Well, I'll start at the beginning. I don't think the mainstream media left of center America and our institutions will ever say out loud, it started in the lab. Fauci funded it. We helped cover for the communist Chinese. Many of the restrictions were useless. We let people die alone so they without a hug from their family members when their young strong family members were utterly not in any danger. And the list could go on and on. They can't because it was so a part of their identity. It was who they were. They were doing what they were told against Covid and anybody who didn't was a monster. It wasn't a scientific belief at all. It was a moral framework.
Jack Armstrong
Well, and a lot of it driven by Trump said what? Okay, I'm against that.
Joe Getty
Right.
Jack Armstrong
And I will always lead that list with keeping kids out of school because my kids were in great school at the time and I think it did them and their friends great damage.
Joe Getty
Right, right. Yeah, it's horrific. It almost. It would be like a Nazi disavowing anti Semitism or, you know, there have been cases, you know, Christopher Hitchens went from a flaming lefty to a much more center guy, still had some leftist beliefs and we're not going to get that. And I think hoping the evildoers learn from and confess to their evil, it's beginning to look like to me that that will never happen. And so the only thing the sane can take away from it is don't be cowed into obedience next time.
Jack Armstrong
Well, Fauci believes, as we've discussed many, many times, I'm sure he sleeps soundly thinking, look, I'm smarter than everybody else in the world and I know the importance of this research that is going to save us from an awful pandemic by creating the worst pandemic in a century, you've saved us from a worse pandemic is what he believes.
Joe Getty
They're really criticizing science because I represent science. Oh, yeah, that's what we were doing. We were criticizing science when we said open the schools like Europe, like all the private schools because the little kids are fine. Yeah, we're ignoring science.
Jack Armstrong
Stand six feet apart, which we now know had no scientific basis whatsoever. They just picked a number at random.
Joe Getty
Oh, so fauci to your how he rationalizes it. Yeah, we were doing important research to prevent a pandemic and this was a 1 in 5,000. Terrible coincidence. But you can't restrict science to prevent a 1 in 5,000 happenstance. That's too restrictive. So, yeah, it was super unfortunate what happened. But I can't allow people to clamp down on my sort of important research by telling the truth. That would do more harm than good. So I will remain silent. That's the attitude the New York Times and the Washington Post. That's just psychosis. That's just being a cultist and ignoring facts because they don't conform to your worldview. I will never forgive them for that.
Jack Armstrong
What is your level of belief that anybody will ever pay a price for this? Mine is low, Very low.
Joe Getty
I mean the teachers unions, and let's not leave them out of the equation. I think the bad will against teachers unions fueled by the COVID monstrosity. I think that's starting to accumulate some weight in a good way. But that might be one of the few examples.
Jack Armstrong
Do we have an ad here? Michael?
Joe Getty
Okay, would you like to do one?
Jack Armstrong
I'm Jack Armstrong from a car I'm trying to sell.
Joe Getty
This car is a smooth riding beauty
Jack Armstrong
on it.
Joe Getty
Power windows, power brakes, power steering.
Jack Armstrong
I do that because Auto World. I used to do these ads with this guy for Auto World. It was what they call a pot lot. It's like a gravel lot with crappy old cars that they find somewhere at auctions and sell them to people. I bought two cars there because I was very poor. It was all I could afford. But yeah, and they were crappy cars. Anyway, this guy with this gravelly voice would come in and I'd record his commercials every week. Michael. And those were his lines. Got four new tires, ice cold air conditioning. This one's a beauty at eighteen hundred dollars.
My Favorite Murder Host
And it was.
Jack Armstrong
It was always stuff you hope you expected to have on a car. It's like would hope.
Joe Getty
Oh, boy.
Jack Armstrong
This one's got a crack fury windshield. Yeah, good. Wow.
Joe Getty
That's what you're featuring.
Jack Armstrong
That's.
Joe Getty
This one ain't on fire.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, exactly. This one will actually start. $999. Wow.
Joe Getty
And I, adjusted for inflation, that's 2,000.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know how we got on this story the other day about people. Oh, Michael, is your story about you agreed to buy a car one time and the guy jumped up and down. You realized you had overpaid?
Ryan Reynolds
Yep.
Jack Armstrong
I was very young, which is very funny. But my favorite story on that is
Joe Getty
Jim, Jim, good job selling that car. But you gotta wait till the guy's off the lot to jump up and down.
Jack Armstrong
The most obvious ruse that. Thank God I wasn't too stupid to fall for. My buddy Chris and I, we drove. We had his sister drop us off in Denver, Colorado. We each had a thousand bucks, and we were going to buy cars because we each needed a car. We're 19, 20 years old, and we're each going to get a thousand dollar car. So we were going around to some really crappy car lots. I mean, this is a long time ago, but a thousand dollars wasn't much then either for a car. But so we're going around to these really, really crappy car lots. And the crappy car lots are usually run by not the most honest people. Anyway. So we're looking at this car, it's priced at $900, and we're talking to the salesman, and his boss rides up and says, hey, hey, hey, I told you, there's supposed to be a one in front of that number. All right, well, if they decide to buy it, go for it. But as soon as they leave, put the one back up there. My buddy Chris and I both looked at each other like, wow, they think we're that dumb?
Joe Getty
We need to dress my haircut if I look that stupid.
Jack Armstrong
No kidding. Oh, my God, they forgot to put the one there. We're saving up. He actually did that. That's a true story.
Joe Getty
Oh, that's beautiful. I bet he had a dozen of those maneuvers, you know, rifle throw him.
Cindy Crawford
Wow.
Jack Armstrong
That is really a caviar emptor or e pluribus unum or whatever it is.
Joe Getty
Yeah, that one.
Jack Armstrong
I think one of those things you. You get what you deserve if you fall for that one. Holy crap.
Joe Getty
All right, so we've got some fresh new Kamala goodness. Let's. Let's play that for the good people. They deserve it.
Jack Armstrong
We got that and then some. The latest studies on teens, and they're all going this direction. They don't drink, they don't date, they don't drive, they don't do anything. What is going on there? Lots of stuff to talk about today. Stay here.
Joe Getty

this Walking Last night with my son. I made the claim that walking faster burned more calories, he said. I don't think that's true. He challenged me. He was right. I have to get to that next hour. God dang it.
Joe Getty
What?
Jack Armstrong
I know it doesn't make sense to me.
Joe Getty
I'm disputing this. It's counterintuitive and I like my intuitions. So Kamala Harris is not had the dignity to vanish from the scene and indeed keeps rearing her her head at various think tanks and speechifying get togethers and whatnot podcasts. This first clip will see how far we get. It was that Arnold Schwarzenegger has this big forum thing where you discuss lots and pecs and such. I don't even know what the point of it is.
Jack Armstrong
Your triceps are very wimpy.
Joe Getty
Apparently somebody invited Kamala and she and the moderator were talking about her her plans. Wink wink.
Jack Armstrong
You've talked about that. You're thinking about running for president, right? How is that thought process going? What's the process in that? And I know you're on a listening tour and I'm curious what you're hearing from people as you've gone around the country. What People are telling you that maybe you've learned that you didn't know before the process of doing so.
Kamala Harris
What people are telling me includes that they want to believe in systems, and they've lost trust in those systems. What I hear a lot is that people know that at the end of this administration, there will be a lot of debris. I tell them often. I can't guarantee that it won't get worse before it gets better, but the one thing I do know is at the end of it, there will be a lot of debris. And it would be irresponsible to then address that in a way that we only talk about. What should we do? What do we need to do to rebuild? If we do that with any sense of nostalgia.
Joe Getty
What? Can you pause that? See, this is. This is how she gets you. This is how she gets you, idiot. I. You. Everybody is just continually thinking, surely she's gonna get to the point.
Jack Armstrong
Right? Just a second or two, and then she takes a detour. And you think, okay, she's not right. Where is my maid? Oh.
Joe Getty
Oh, the way she vacuums. Oh, my God. Back and forth, back and forth.
Jack Armstrong
You know, it's as dusty. You know what needs dusting?
Joe Getty
My penis.
Ryan Reynolds
That's why.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, my Lord.
Joe Getty
So, you know, at that point, kid with her. All right, all right. The statute of limitations. The kids, like, 30. Come on. Anyway, so at this point, everybody's thinking, I don't even remember what the dude asked her.
Jack Armstrong
Right, right. Got. And talk about a softball where you're allowed to just really lay out your. Your agenda. I mean, that's just basically saying, here's your chance to hit your talking points.
Joe Getty
Yes.
Jack Armstrong
What people are telling me as I go around is affordability, affordability, affordability. It's on everybody's lips, you know, something like that. But no, she just can't do it.
Joe Getty
Trump has done a lot of damage, and he's going to keep doing damage. But what we need to be ready to do is to step in, work together, horse crap, bull crap, blah, blah, blah.
Jack Armstrong
But at least it's terrible.
Joe Getty
All right, do you want to set this one up?
Jack Armstrong
Oh, this was on Don Lemon the other day, and I heard this one, and I thought, oh, that's right. Like, slip it into a warm tub. Here we go.
Kamala Harris
I really, truly believe this. We each have light inside of us,
Jack Armstrong
and we wish we had Don Lennon, because he asked her a specific question, and I don't remember what the specific question was. It's a very short question. He asks her something about something. Maybe this will work.
Kamala Harris
Even without the question, I really, truly believe this. We, we each have have light inside of us. And we need to know that that is what inspires our hope as much as anything external to ourselves. And when we feel that and not allow an election or an individual to dampen that light, and instead light let that light kind of carry us, in particular through moments of darkness, that we not only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope in each other. And in particular at this moment, it is so important that we not only have hope, but that we understand that that should be a verb.
Jack Armstrong
And so on and so forth. Oh boy, isn't that incredible? She's got something wrong. So if she's not dumb, as some people close to her say, she's not, she's got some sort of processing disorder where she just can't speak in paragraphs that make sense.
Joe Getty
Well, then stop babbling.
Jack Armstrong
Stop talking.
