A (3:06)

Yes, that is a disturbing leap forward in the world of sex bots. My hey, it pays well. How my do you get like a couple of bucks per unit sold or was it a flat fee thing?

B (3:22)

Yeah, royalties. I definitely get a cut of each one. Okay, moving away from the fact that it looks like Katie. One thing about attractive people is they all look alike.

A (3:34)

Robot Katie will not get pregnant, by the way. Oh, we're moving on from that.

B (3:38)

Like, like all little attractive blondes look mostly alike. It's just like we get to the high attractive level of people. Everybody looks the same. It's all of us down here in the bottom area that have varied appearances.

A (3:51)

We're much more interesting.

B (3:52)

All look the same. But how do you have a world where you can have a robot that looks like that talks to you, you know, tells you you're funny and smart and everything like that has sex parts. I can't picture a way in which mankind survives that.

A (4:15)

Nor I people.

B (4:17)

People already are not having. Dudes especially are not leaving their houses and like chasing sex anymore. Robots when they have this girl in their your bedroom doing whatever you want. People are falling in love with robots that are, don't even have faces and aren't physical. You know.

A (4:36)

Now you give them that with warm skin.

B (4:40)

Ew.

A (4:45)

I've given up on humanity. It's actually quite liberating.

B (4:48)

Okay, a little bitter. Bigger picture here. Let's talk about God and the meaning of life a little bit. So you got the whole thing. Trump's in an argument with the Pope. Quite a. I don't know how this all came about. So 60 Minutes did a big feature piece on the Pope and the Pope came out pretty hard anti war the last couple of weeks in this piece on 60 Minutes, which I assume Trump watched. I assume that's why Trump made the comments he made about the Pope not being a good Pope and ought to keep his mouth shut and all that sort of stuff. So that started the dust up between the Pope and Donald Trump. A number of people have pointed out, by the way, and I did some googling on this to see if it's actually true. And it is. The Pope had no condemnation of Iran's massacre of tens of thousands of demonstrators. Oh, that's nothing to say about it. Um, and I, I looked several different places. Pope Leo made no reference to Iran regime's cold blooded slaughter of thousands of. Of citizens. The silence of the killings was notable and controversial, says Chat GPT and his later statements focused on opposing the US Israeli military response rather than condemning Iranian government's crackdown on its people.

A (6:05)

I mean the fact that they would subjugate the entire world and all of its people in the name of fundamentalist Islam. Mr. Pope, does that ring a bell?

B (6:13)

Well, you just, you. I didn't care much what the Pope thought about war and peace and politics anyway, but you lost all credibility. You had nothing to say when 30,000 protesters were murdered in the street. Me, you're going to criticize Trump. Whatever.

A (6:28)

Yeah.

B (6:28)

So you pick and choose the easy battles and the ones that'll get you a lot of social cred. Good for you. You get on 60 Minutes by and all the cool shows by denouncing Trump. It would be a kind of a difficult to denounce, you know, a dangerous. A religion that might put a hit on you and this and that.

A (6:48)

Well, he's very much of the mainstream of the American left. All you criticize is America. You never criticize other regime or religions or whatever. Unless they momentarily cooperate with Trump, then they're fair game. It's ridiculous. He has no credibility.

B (7:03)

But with the Pope in the news, I re looked up how many dang Catholics there are in the world and everybody else, because it helps to have a little perspective on that. If you consider. Catholic part of Christian as opposed to its own thing. It depends on how Christianity is the biggest religion on the planet. But if you don't, if you separate them out as Catholic or whatever, Islam is now the biggest. There are a billion, almost 2 billion. 2 billion Muslims in the world, but about a quarter of the world's population, about 2 billion Muslims. There are 1.4 billion Catholics, just Catholics alone. And then you add in the Protestants, who are about a billion, and you're at 2.4 billion. So there are more Christians than Muslims. But depends on whether or not you consider Catholic part of the whole thing.

A (7:57)

I do. I think for the purposes of our discussion, to not include Catholics and Protestants together would be hilariously foolish for the

B (8:07)

point of we're in a war with a fundamentalist Islam. Yeah, I would agree.

A (8:11)

Well, not only that, but just as we've discussed in relation to the brilliant book, what's its face?

B (8:20)

Moby Dick.

A (8:22)

That's right. Moby Dick.

B (8:23)

No.

A (8:23)

What the hell is that? Dominion. Tom Holland. Is that right? Yeah. The entire underpinning of virtually everything we do as a society is based on Judeo Christian principles. So on a very, very fundamental way.

B (8:37)

Yeah.

A (8:38)

You've got to group those together. Christianity is absolutely the biggest. But Islam is coming on strong partly because it is so conquest oriented and will do so slaughtering people as they go.

B (8:51)

So then to make it century's nightmare, jihadism. Thank you, Mick.

A (8:55)

Thank you.

B (8:56)

To make it simple, just round it, just for your own memory, in case you're ever wondering, there are about 2 billion Muslims. About 2 and a half billion Christians. So that's roughly what you got going on in the world. And about 60 million Catholics in the United States. That's the biggest group of anybody in the United States. About 60 million. Here's the number I don't think most people know, and it's fascinating. How many Jews are there in the world? You heard those other numbers, remember? Two billion Muslims, two and a half billion Christians. How many Jews are there in the world? 15 million, period. 15 million. Hardly anybody. Israel's got 7 million. United States has 6 million. That's practically everybody. Couple more million spread around the world. That's really quite amazing that there is so much controversy and hate and, and achievement out of such a tiny religion.

A (9:53)

Look at Nobel Prize winners.

B (9:55)

Oh, yeah, it's just, it's. It's really nonsense.

A (9:57)

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

B (9:58)

So is that where the oldest conspiracy, as some people call it, the fact that the Jews caused this and that been going on for thousands of years, is it because Jews are so successful and people are envious, or it seems. How could that be? How could there be so many wealthy Jews and so many Nobel Prizes? There's gotta be something going on. Is that it?

A (10:22)

Yeah, it's a combination of envy and a weird sort of admiration. The fact that Jews are, whether by choice or by the other people's choice, often a distinct community in various countries. And so it's easy to view them with suspicion. And you combine that with jealousy and you get for centuries everything from the Jews are actually vampires sucking the blood of our women to, you know, your Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson crap, that they're dictating American foreign policy. Which is hilarious. But, yeah, the common thread is, yeah, it's. It's the Jews doing it. And if you look at like all the incarnations of it, it's impossible to take it seriously, except that it ends up with Jewish people being killed.

B (11:10)

I feel like it's just so much better to look at it culturally. Like the reason that it's always a kid who's. Who wins the spelling bee every year is families from Asia or the middle, you know, or Southeast Asia, in short.

A (11:29)

Yeah, it's because they control the world. Or all those engineers being Indians because they control the world.

B (11:38)

Or it's a cultural thing to value, in this case, spelling more than I think you should. But I just assume. Have you known many Jewish people? They value education and they live way below their means. I've known so many rich Jewish people. It's impressive how below their means they live and the way they. What they drive and what you wear and stuff like that. It's a cultural thing.

A (12:03)

You should.

B (12:03)

We should all do it.

A (12:05)

Scholarship and financial sanity. Yeah. Are some of the tenets that you grow up with in Judaism? I was I going to say it seemed important at the time. I flit it out of my head. Yeah, it's. It's. It's ugly. It's ugly and it's stupid. So I hate it.

B (12:20)

So we were talking. When were we talking about the AI Sex bot? Was that this segment?

A (12:27)

Yeah, earlier.

B (12:28)

This segment. Wow. It seems like a lifetime.

A (12:30)

Seems like ages ago, doesn't it?

B (12:31)

But that looks just like Katie and we went through that whole thing.

A (12:34)

That's right. Good times, memories made.

B (12:42)

It's just fascinating that we could have this budding revolution around AI that's, you know, going to change the world and this and that and things that couldn't even imagine, while at the same time we got the oldest battles that have been going on for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. Blaming the Jews for things. You wouldn't think those two things could exist simultaneously.

A (13:05)

Yeah, I know.

B (13:05)

Like the whole blaming juice for things is hotter than it's ever been in my lifetime. At the same time that AI is going to, you know, make it so you don't have to work.

A (13:14)

Yeah. Never again is now. It's right now. It's all over the world. I've got a dozen different headlines from different countries.

B (13:21)

Or I guess the lesson that it doesn't matter what kind of advancements you make in science or medicine, the whole hating each other over religion and skin color ain't going to go away.

A (13:30)

You want to read a good book that just don't give a damn. Moby stuff.

B (13:34)

Dick.

A (13:35)

Not Moby Dick, The Bible. Moby. The Triple Package by Amy Chu and Jeb Rubenfeld argues that the success of certain cultural groups in America stems from three traits. A belief in their own not. Well, they call this superiority. I wouldn't use that word at all. Although the way they explain it is a deep seated belief that the group is special, exceptional or chosen. A sense of insecurity. A feeling of being inadequate. That one must constantly prove themselves despite their belief that they are special. And a strong and strong impulse control. Discipline. The discipline to resist temptation and work for future goals rather than immediate gratification. And they go through all sorts of cultures and subcultures.

B (14:17)

Yes, I want to hear all those slower. That was interesting. That was super interesting. Can I hear those slower? I'm trying to figure out how to be successful myself. I Need this.

A (14:28)

That's too late for you.

B (14:30)

One foot in the grave. Maybe I can pass it along to my kids. Okay, that and other stuff on the way. Stay here.

A (14:36)

Armstrong and Getty

B (14:40)

Joe, right before the break, was laying some life truth bombs on us. And I wanted to slow down and hear these so I could take notes and maybe apply them in my own practically failing life. Well, we.

A (14:55)

We talked about this years ago when the book came out. Amy Chua, who was known as the author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Oh yeah, you recall that book. In this stupid, stupid controversy. It was mostly from people who didn't read the whole thing. She and her husband wrote a book called the Triple Package. How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural. It's cut off greatness or something. Anyway, they argue that the success of certain cultural groups in America stems from three traits. A belief in their own superiority or that they're special or ought to be special.

B (15:29)

That's controversial.

A (15:32)

Yeah, I guess not in my world it's not. But a sense of insecurity and a strong impulse. And strong impulse control, I should say. So the superiority thing is a deep seated belief that the group is special, exceptional or chosen, or that we ought to be exceptional, including our children. Insecurity, a feeling of being inadequate or that one must constantly prove themselves despite the belief in superiority and impulse control, the discipline to resist temptation and work for future goals rather than immediate gratification.

B (16:03)

That third one is an obvious and might be the most important thing in all of life. But those first two are really interesting. I'd like to hear somebody explain that to me at length because I mean, you know, obviously there's a tension there between the. We are either it's our family or our race or our state or whatever superior and I suck and I need to try harder. I'm going to fail.

A (16:24)

Yeah, it's mostly it has to do with cultural groups that come to the United States so they feel like they have to prove themselves. So I wouldn't. I would put it that way and not the way you put it. But anyway, just to flesh it out a little more, the book challenges the idea that sex success, rather not sex, but success is solely due to individual merit, suggesting culture factors are a key. Everything is downstream of culture.

B (16:50)

Everything.

A (16:52)

Examples. It highlights groups like Chinese Americans, Jews and Mormons as examples of the triple package in action, while also also discussing groups that lack it, such as some white, black and Hispanic communities. Read Hillbilly Elegy. Whatever you think of J.D. vance, an absolutely defeatist excuse making sub category of Irish and Scottish immigrated white people in Appalachia. They don't have any of those things. Well, they have like one of them and it's killing them. Also controversy, of course everybody. Critics accused it of racism while supporters defended it as a necessary uncomfortable intellectual inquire inquiry.

B (17:31)

Of course somebody who's successful the other day said to me, she said every successful person I've known, including myself, she said, has imposter syndrome. You think that's true?

A (17:42)

I think nine tenths of us them, yes.

B (17:45)

Drives people well.

A (17:47)

That's that insecurity feeling that I have to prove myself over and over again. The authors note that the triple package often fades by the third generation, explaining the typical arc of immigrant group success.

B (17:58)

Ah, the impulse.

A (17:59)

Very honest. I've read it. The last thing it was was racist. It was just honest but uncomfortable.

B (18:05)

The shirt generation doesn't have the impulse control. Shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations. There you go.

A (18:11)

No matter what color you are.

B (18:12)

That's some good stuff there. Armstrong and Getty New round of music legends have earned spots in the Rock

A (18:20)

and Roll hall of Fame.

B (18:22)

The performer category includes everyone from Phil Collins to Iron Maiden, New Order to Wu Tang Clan, as well as Luther Vandross and Oasis. And the man who may have the

A (18:31)

most famous snarl of all all time

B (18:34)

will also be inducted this coming November. Billy Idol.

A (18:40)

I once saw Luther Vandross and Iron Maiden together and that was just such a great show.

B (18:46)

The list always includes people that you can't believe aren't already in the Rock and Hall of Fame. People you would think. Why would they be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and people you've never heard of. Graham Parsons is on the list too. I'm a big giant Graham Parsons fan and was surprised that he's not already in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

A (19:01)

Actually yeah.

B (19:05)

Most disappointing tourist thing I've ever gone to. In my opinion though in term in terms of expectation versus what I got. I've gone to things where I had low expectations and they were met like like the world's largest ball of twine. I went to see that. I wasn't expecting much and it matched what I was expecting. It was a very large ball of twine, but I was better grade.

A (19:27)

Would you give it relative to your

B (19:29)

expectations, the Rock and Roll hall of Fame or the ball of twine? The ball of 20.

A (19:35)

Rock and roll hall of Fame to my level of expectations cares about the GD ball was an A. We got a 12 hour h o

B (19:45)

f we got a couple of 12 packs of beer and we drove to Cawker City, Kansas, and we drank beer looking at the ball of twine. That was a great day.

A (19:52)

All right, fine. How about the. The Cleveland tourist site?

B (19:56)

I. I'm a C or a D?

A (19:57)

I'd give it a solid B. I

B (19:59)

thought it was fun.

A (20:00)

Yeah, it was fine.

B (20:02)

A couple other news stories for you. The CEO of Ford has warned Chinese car sales in the United States would be devastating to domestic automakers and says that the current tariffs of 100% on Chinese carmakers need to continue, which effectively blocks the vehicles from being sold in the United States. We should not let them into our country, says the CEO of Ford. Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country, and for us to lose that to those experts would be devastating to our country.

A (20:34)

It's an interesting talk to somebody very, very knowledgeable about the car business over the weekend, and he agrees completely.

B (20:41)

Huh.

A (20:41)

Extremely high quality, extremely low price.

B (20:44)

So should we have done that back in the 80s when our cars sucked and the reason our cars, our American cars got better was people started buying Japanese cars because they were like what Fords and Chevys used to be, and then Ford and Chevy got way, way, way, way better to compete? Should we have done the same thing back then? Isn't it the same scenario? A foreign country making a better product at a better price?

A (21:10)

Yeah. The difference was Japan was a democracy and had a fairly modern economy, although there was some subsidizing of industry. But China's an entirely different beast. It's a communist system where their chosen industries are heavily subsidized. They dump product to wreck competition. They're evil. Evil economically speaking.

B (21:30)

That's right. The government would subsidize the car industry if they thought they could destroy our manufacturing, for instance. It has nothing to do with competition or whatever.

A (21:39)

Not only for fun and profit, but to then beat us in wars.

B (21:44)

Okay, we have a bit of a breaking news.

A (21:47)

Uh. Oh.

B (21:49)

So Eric Swalwell, Congressman, California, high up in the polls, running for governor. You know, the whole story's out now. A bunch of women came forward over the weekend saying he'd done a variety of things to them. I had thus far not heard anything that sounded like a crime. A lot of getting drunk and having sex with women. Not his wife, Everybody barely remembering what happened. Woman that we played yesterday said she was right, but she also said she doesn't really remember it. So I don't know.

A (22:23)

She just has a flash of memory and I'm sorry, really. But we can't help you. Yeah.

B (22:28)

I hope you weren't raped. And if you were, that's really, really awful. But I, I'm not sure in a court of law, that crime. We have a new accuser who has just spoken out, and apparently she's a little more specific. Here we go.

A (22:40)

I arrived at his hotel room. I was already incapacitated and I couldn't.

B (22:45)

Okay.

A (22:46)

Move my arms or my body. He raped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity. That sure sounds like she's accusing him of drugging her.

B (23:17)

Yeah, but. Yeah, but neither of them have said, I think I was drugged. As far as I know, that's all

A (23:25)

I've heard of that clip.

B (23:26)

So I don't know, I would think you need to say, I think I was drugged. I like, I know what it feels like to get drunk, and that's not what it felt like. It felt like something different.

A (23:35)

Right. Yeah. I need to hear the rest of

B (23:37)

that because that would get you into a different category of what was going on.

A (23:41)

She couldn't move her arms or legs at the point she arrived in his hotel room.

B (23:46)

I've been every phase of drunk from the first sep sip to probably nearly dead end in between, and I know what it feels like. I've never had felt like my arms couldn't move ever.

A (24:01)

Right.

B (24:02)

So that is an odd thing. Okay. Accuser believes Swal drugged my drink. She specifically said she believes he drugged my drink. That's a. That's a. We're into a different category now. Still probably can't prove it in a court of law. He's already resigned from Congress and he's out of the governor's ra.

A (24:25)

What.

B (24:26)

What is this is now is just women feeling like they. Who feel like they were raped by him. Feeling comfortable coming forward.

A (24:35)

And hit us with clip 61.

B (24:37)

Michael Manhattan prosecutors are now investigating claims that Swalwell assaulted a former staffer in a New York City hotel back in 2024. And Lisa Bloom, she's representing one of the alleged victims here. There's going to be a press conference in California to shed more details on this as well, so perhaps we'll learn even more. Certainly not going to be a good look, one would think, for Eric Swalwell.

A (25:04)

Yeah. So there's the possibility of criminal charges. Although Lisa Bloom, that's the daughter of Gloria Allred. Right. They're famous for high dollar representation of these women, lot of publicity, blah, blah, blah. And the women never get anything. But that's another story.

B (25:20)

The story to me is, well, there's two things. One, it's still awful that. There are so many women out there feel like their boss or co worker would have raped them and they can't get any justice for it, so they keep their mouths shut for years. That's horrible. But the main fact to me in this story is the Democratic Party knew he was this kind of guy and these stories were out there. From everything I've read, everybody knew these stories were swirling around him. And if he was going to get elected governor and be able to help the Democratic Party out, everybody's fine. Just him continuing to climb the ladder of power. Eventually he would run for president, but because there were a whole bunch of Democrats running for governor, somebody I'll bet it's Katie Porter, said, I'm gonna take him down and did.

A (26:12)

Well, first of all, he already ran for president, was laughed out of it. But secondly, when did this story break?

B (26:19)

Friday.

A (26:20)

Today's Tuesday, so we'll say Friday. So we'll say as of a week ago, none of this was known.

B (26:27)

Right.

A (26:27)

But then it broke Friday and all the victims were assembled and ready and the microphones were ready and the press conferences were scheduled. This is an elite level hatchet job. It could be entirely fact based on.

B (26:41)

You said it. Yeah, it's a hatchet job on a bad guy.

A (26:45)

Yeah. But it's absolutely a Democratic Party hatchet job. Completely justified. But it's fun, funny in a, in a sick way to watch it unfold and yet the media goes along with as if, oh my God, these revelations have just come out. This fellow who he thought was a good man is now, it turns out he's rapey. And good Lord, when it's all orchestrated by the Democrats. Then again, he probably has it coming. But the fact that they didn't out him, it's like Ro Khanna, who's one of the. Ro Khanna is now out condemning Falwell. He's known him for years. Years. This same Ro Khanna who's the lead cheerleader. And we must release all the Epstein files. He never breathed a word about Epstein during the Biden administration. He's on zero committees that have to do with sexual trafficking or rape or anything like that. No, he's a publicity hungry complacenc. Complete grifter. They're all grifters. Good Lord.

B (27:43)

And we now know it's pretty clear China got word. Hey, you got a congressperson on a variety of committees. He's going after every Chick in the bar. They knew he was an easy mark and found, you know, what kind of. What kind of girls he seemed to like. How tall, what body shape do you like him? Tall and skinny. He's like short and curvy. What does he like? Okay, they found somebody who's, you know, doing her military duty and going in there and sidling up to Swalwell at the bar and spying for the Chinese and having sex with Swalwell.

A (28:20)

There are lots of stories. You got to credit China for doing that with, like, up and comers, low level people before they're on anybody's radar screen. But they think, okay, that guy is. He is a hot prospect in that part of America. Let's undermine him right now. You almost have to admire it.

B (28:39)

So Lisa Bloom. I didn't realize. So she's the daughter of Gloria Allred?

A (28:44)

I'm pretty sure, yeah.

B (28:45)

Can somebody. Can you look that up? Katie? Not surprising that she's not going by the last name Aldred Allred. I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to attach myself to her either.

A (28:54)

Yeah, that's her. The two of them work together, though, and it's. It's an unholy alliance.

B (28:59)

If they come to you, they're not there to help you. They're there to get rich. They're not there to help you. But anyway, she has said three other women have contacted her and we'll be hearing from them soon. So there is a beyond drip, drip, drip, drip of women coming forward. Who knows how many times Swalwell has done this sort of thing.

A (29:20)

You know what Swalwell's done. Jack and Michael, get ready with clip number 64. He busted the trust.

B (29:28)

How's your relationship with Eric? Are you guys still friends? Ericu. Is that clear? Don't bust the trust. You bust the trust, okay?

A (29:46)

You don't exist in my life. You don't bust the trust. That's eccentric billionaire Swalwell supporter. Until five minutes ago, Stephen Klubeck of Los Angeles. Don't bust the trust. You don't bust the trust.

B (30:05)

And do we have the other one where he gets all high pitched? We like that one, too. No, I was blown away,

A (30:12)

Cartoon dog.

B (30:14)

So Swalwell was living with this billionaire who gave him at least a million dollars for his campaign, which the billionaire is now demanding back. I don't think it probably works that way.

A (30:24)

But

B (30:26)

Swallow was listening to his probably nonsense and pretending to like him because he needed a billionaire supporter to run for office. Probably work the other way. The billionaire is probably putting up with his smarmy ass because he was hoping to get somebody in the governorship that could help him out on a variety of projects.

A (30:44)

Yeah, exactly. Politics. Yummy. Wow.

B (30:49)

The. The Democrats had a problem in our primary in California in June. Here in a couple of weeks, not that far off, everybody's going to go vote and the top two vote getters run against each other. And if they're both Republicans, they're both Republicans.

A (31:05)

Steve Hilton will mop the floor, paint the walls and dust the ceiling with Katie Porter in a debate.

B (31:12)

Get out of my shot.

A (31:15)

That's not going to change a single vote among the public employee unions who run the state and the trial lawyers. But it'll be interesting.

B (31:23)

But the Democrats had a serious problem. They weren't going to have anybody running because their votes are being split too many different ways. And Katie Porter said, I'll take care of that. Probably somewhat angry that Swalwell never hit on her and brought out the knives.

A (31:45)

I'm not going there, but I hear you.

B (31:50)

I mean, you can only get so

A (31:51)

drunk right then, you know that you're that drunk you can't show up to play.

B (31:58)

No, no, no. I left my bat and glove in the dugout, I'm afraid.

A (32:04)

Face like a clenched fist.

B (32:06)

Sure. Well, it's her personality that is the.

A (32:08)

Yeah, it doesn't help. Oh, it's the package. It's the complete package.

B (32:13)

I haven't listened to the reasoning. Why, Mark Halpern is pretty astute observer. Politics says Tom Steyer is the next governor of California and here's why. But I haven't read the here's why. I'll look into that and have that for you tomorrow.

A (32:25)

Call you, Hall.

B (32:26)

Now, if Steyer's the governor, we will finish strong.

A (32:32)

Next Armstrong and Gettys.

B (32:37)

So here's the follow up on the latest Swalwell accuser. And this is. I don't know what this is even. You don't need a nail in the coffin. He already left Congress and is out of the California race. I guess the nail in the coffin is him going to jail. I hope there's justice for all these women. But aside from there needing to be justice, I don't care what happens to Eric Swallow. Just go away. And he's gonna go away anyway. Her story is this. In 2018, while I was living and working as a model in Beverly Hills and I also owned a fashion software company, I had contact with Eric Swalwell on three separate occasions. I knew he was married at the time and that his wife was pregnant. He was my friend. On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink, then tells a story about. Why did you go to his room, though? Why'd you go up to his hotel room and knock on the door? Anyway, My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power, his background as an attorney and his family law enforcement ties. Yeah. Taking on somebody who's an attorney. So their legal work is free and paying to take them on. And they got ties within the. In the Justice Department. That's. I could see why you'd think, you know what? I should be more careful in the future. And what do you.

A (33:49)

And they have far more dogs than themselves to set upon you, too, right?

B (33:59)

With Armstrong and Getty, you'll get the facts. They're sharp and steady.

A (34:05)

Tune in tomorrow.

B (34:06)

Don't you forget it.

A (34:08)

For more from Armstrong and get.

B (34:16)

Springsteen did that song last night right before he lectured us about the tax system. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

A (34:22)

Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew to wrap up the show for the day. There he is. Press the buttons. Michelangelo in the control. Michael, you know how we have the AI robot that looks just like Katie? How about we have some of the entire staff? We just bring them out like every six months. You collect them like bobbleheads.

B (34:41)

Like bobbleheads, yeah.

A (34:42)

Don't worry about the Joe Bot. It doesn't do much. You don't have to charge its batteries very often.

B (34:46)

I feel like the Jack Sex Bot is not going to get a lot of. A lot of clicks.

A (34:50)

Oh, boy. Katie Greener, Steam Muse woman. The real one, not the robot, has a final thought.

B (34:55)

Katie. It's kind of a serious one, but through all this, I feel awful for these women, but, like, I'm thinking about Swal's kids, man. Oh, yeah. Several people have mentioned that. You keep talking about his wife and how bad is. Yeah, how about your freaking kids?

A (35:10)

Jack, final thought for us.

B (35:11)

I was having that thought last night, taking my kids to the concert, and it was a school night. We had to stay up late and this and that. But it's fun when you're a parent doing the whole thing. You know, they're going to remember this for the rest of their lives, and you get to give them those experiences that you just know that they're going to remember forever.

A (35:27)

Yeah, that is great. My final thought is the Armstrong and Getty design team is hard at work on the Don't Bust the Trust T shirts. They should be available very soon.

B (35:38)

Armstrong and Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

A (35:41)

So many people. Thanks a little time. Go To Armstrong and getty.com for the hot links for the swag store. Give it an hour or so and we'll see if we can get those Don't Bust the Trust t shirts going.

B (35:50)

We'll see y' all tomorrow. God Bless America.

A (35:54)
