Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now he's Armstrong and Getty. Authorities in Peru recently arrested a man who allegedly tried to smuggle hundreds of live spiders and insects out of the country by strapping them to his body. He might have gotten away with it except for the fact that he never stopped screaming.
Jack Armstrong
No kidding. God, I would. Oh, geez. We have some breaking news. This is actual breaking news, Michael. Actual breaking news. But I want you to.
Joe Getty
When news breaks, the donkey brays.
Jack Armstrong
This is breaking news. I want you to hear it here before you hear it on the playground. First of all, this from the New York Times. A hacker. And I'm using my finger quotes because it might have been a hacker, technically, but were they directed or helped? Anyway, a hacker is said to have downloaded the file containing the testimony about Matt Gates from that House committee. No, the file is said to include the sworn testimony by the woman who said she had sex with Gates when she was 17. So that whole committee report that was supposed to come out Friday, that didn't. Now a hacker has hacked in and gotten it, which might be true and might be somebody said, hey, if you go to this website at 2:00, I'll post it for you. And you grab it. All right? And it could be a password is.
Joe Getty
Congress, but with dollar signs instead of the s's.
Jack Armstrong
Right? And would be as likely a Republican as a Democrat because he has very few friends. And then this related to it, which is a heck of a bum from your close friend, Marjorie Taylor Green.
Joe Getty
Oh, yeah, we bonded. We. We met in an airport and we had a brief but Tor affair and everyone knows it.
Jack Armstrong
Marjorie Taylor Green just tweeted this out, man. She and Gates in those. That crowd play hardball for my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate. If we're going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed and then put it let. Then let's put it all out there for the American people to see. Yes, she says, dot dot, dot. All the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed. All your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled, paying off victims with taxpayer money. The entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews, and not just those. There's more than Epstein. He wasn't the only one. If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do.
Joe Getty
Wow, that's bringing it.
Jack Armstrong
That is bringing it. Because there are. Remember that report that came out of several years ago where we found out There was like 300 people in Congress or something like that that had settled claims out there, taxpayer paid claims, and then that stuff all went away. And she's saying, well, let's release all that. Let's hear from all these people that you. That you settled with over the years and what you were accused of doing, et cetera, et cetera. If we're going to dance, let's dance in the sunlight.
Joe Getty
She says, yeah, this is. This is a beautiful example of when you can hold two, you know, somewhat opposed thoughts in your head. I'm not a big fan of Matt Gaetz. I don't think he's a good guy. I don't think he would be a good attorney General, even though the dog DOJ really needs a shake up. On the other hand, in D.C. and this is fairly well known, getting called on your sins is entirely a matter of who's mad at you and once you want you out of way, because there are plenty of sins going on that never get called out because you've got friends, you got a support structure, you're the in crowd.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. I don't know this, but I suspect it heavily. If there are like a hundred other guys who have done exactly the same thing in positions of power. They just. It just didn't, you know, make the light of day for some reason. I could see why you'd be a little annoyed at the idea. Annoyed at the idea of, oh, so Matt Gaetz doesn't get to be Attorney General because of this. How about you on this committee? Are you that cabinet position?
Joe Getty
Yeah, as long as it doesn't get witch hunty. I could see, you know, let's just like my sweetheart says, let's just sign, shine the light on it and take a look at it. The. My hesitance in going along with their plan is that. And we've seen this in our professional lives, a lot of lawsuits are bull crap.
Jack Armstrong
Right.
Joe Getty
They're an effort to get a check. Yeah. I'm going to accuse you of sexual harassment. Well, we'll settle for 25 grand. Okay. We're done here.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah. Well, that's the Hegseth claim. Right? The guy that is up for Department of Defense. Yeah.
Joe Getty
And that accusation went nowhere.
Jack Armstrong
Secretary of Defense. That he did pay a woman for the case to go away, but that doesn't mean he did it.
Joe Getty
Mm. Yeah, Settlements happen all the time. When lawyers say, okay, you can settle this for 10k or defend it for 100k.
Jack Armstrong
It'S ugly situation because possible it's forever.
Joe Getty
No man do we need tort reform, but that's a different subject for a different day.
Jack Armstrong
How about that from Marjorie Taylor Green. Hmm. I wonder if that goes.
Joe Getty
Dance. Let's Dance in the Sunlight, which sounds like a soft rock tune from the 1970s, but.
Jack Armstrong
Well, you do have a lot of Democrats and Republicans saying we need to re. We need to release the committee report on Matt Gaetz. You want to. Let's release all of these reports over the years from the various settlements. Let's just get them all out there.
Joe Getty
So were there two pieces of breaking news? Was that the two? Yeah, the download in the. Marjorie.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Getty
Okay, cool. Okay. I didn't want to jump in, you know, ahead of schedule here, so at the end of last hour, I was discussing the banana duct tape to the wall, which is modern art worth over $1 million according to Sotheby's.
Jack Armstrong
What is it? What is it supposed to portray? What is it?
Joe Getty
And by the way, it's literally. That's what exactly what I'm to get to. Literally a banana duct tape to all. It's not like an exquisite oil painting by one of the Italian masters of. Well, they didn't have duct tape back in the day, but a banana duct tape to all. No, it's literally that.
Jack Armstrong
I'm going to assume it represents man's inhumanity to man. That's what I always say about modern art.
Joe Getty
Whoa. How many did you. You got a PhD in art history, is that right? Yeah. Because you're close. I will tell you this, though. This is. And I'm not automatically contemptuous of anybody who's a quote unquote expert or learned or whatever, but this is such a beautiful example of exactly what Thomas Sowell was talking about. There are some ideas, so crazy, stupid, ill advised, whatever, that only an intellectual could hold them. And my theme for the first couple hours of the show. And if you didn't hear them, I beg of you, perhaps hour two. Cut the crap. Don't be bamboozled by these ridiculous things we're being told. A man can become a woman if he just says he's a woman. No, he can't.
Jack Armstrong
Before you get to telling us what a banana duct tape to a wall means. Yes, if you walked into someone's home and they showed you that, and even if they didn't hit you with the number, they said, yeah, this is from the Italian artist.
Joe Getty
So?
Jack Armstrong
And so. And I tell you what, Maurizio Catalan, I paid a pretty penny for this. I had to out several versions. Wouldn't your immediate, immediate thought be you're an idiot.
Joe Getty
I would look for a long moment or two for signs that they were kidding, that it was a joke.
Jack Armstrong
And then if it wasn't a joke, I would think you're an idiot.
Joe Getty
Then I would think you're an idiot. All right, so here you go. It's a banana, duct tape to walt the end.
Jack Armstrong
That's it. That's the whole thing.
Joe Getty
According to Sotheby's, it's worth between 1 and $1.5 million.
Jack Armstrong
Sure it is.
Joe Getty
Even though this guy has sold several editions of it. Tears the duct tape, grabs banana off the, tapes it to the wall. There's another 150k. Honey, this is the best idea I've ever had. But anyway, back to soul.
Jack Armstrong
So it's like his. It's like the signed lithograph copy thingy when he tapes another banana to the wall, I guess.
Joe Getty
Yeah, it's a fruitograph. Anyway. David Galperin, Sotheby's head of contemporary art, told the Associated Press that Catalan, Maurizio Catalan, created a provocative work of art. And I quote, what Catalan is really doing is turning a mirror to the contemporary art world and asking questions, provoking thought about how we ascribe value to artworks, what we define as an art work. Galpin went on, what you buy when you buy Catalan's Comedian. I didn't mention that. The banana duct taped to the wall. The title of it is Comedian.
Jack Armstrong
That seems like a wink to me.
Joe Getty
It's a little on the nose, honey. Old schnazola. Anyway, when you buy Catalan's Comedian, what you buy when you buy Catalan's Comedian is not the banana itself, but a.
Jack Armstrong
Million and a half dollar banana.
Joe Getty
Seems outrageous. They got him by the bunch down there to Kroger. Anyway, let me get through this. When you. What you buy, when you buy a Catalan's Comedian is not the banana itself, but a certificate of authenticity that grants the owner the permission and authority to reproduce this banana and duct tape on their wall as an original artwork by Maurizio Catalan. Chloe Cooper Jones, an assistant professor at the Columbia University School of the Arts. Is there any more corrupt and perverse institution in America than Columbia University, I wonder. She said the piece, quote, stands at the intersection of the sort of humor and the deeply macabre. He's quite often looking at ways of provoking us, not just for the sake of provocation, but to ask us to look into some of the darkest parts of history and ourselves. What the what?
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Advertiser 1
Here it is.
Joe Getty
Here it is. It would be hard to come up with A better, simpler symbol of global trade and all of this, all of its exploitations, than the banana. No important, profound, meaningful artwork of the past 100 or 200 years or our history for that matter, did not provoke some kind of discomfort when it was first unveiled.
Jack Armstrong
Wow.
Joe Getty
Cooper Jones noted that the banana itself is a symbol for colonialism and corporate power. Wow.
Jack Armstrong
That is something. Wow. It's one. I'm a big Andy Warhol fan and one of the reasons I like Andy Warhol is I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. He went to his grave thinking, you all are crazy.
Joe Getty
I think you still don't know I'm messing with you. Wow.
Advertiser 3
Wow.
Joe Getty
Exactly. So if I were to go down to the local grocery store and grab some duct tape out of the garage and duct tape a banana to my wall, would that be some sort of copyright violation or.
Jack Armstrong
Good question.
Joe Getty
What if it was a spoiled banana to symbolize the spoiled colonialism that is rotted out equatorial somebody or other?
Jack Armstrong
Or a green one?
Joe Getty
Oh.
Jack Armstrong
Underripe portrayal of the flattening of the world economy.
Joe Getty
It symbolizes the exploitation of brown youth in the third world. Look at that. The banana symbolizes the young people because it's a young banana. Do you get it? Do you get it?
Jack Armstrong
You are an idiot.
Joe Getty
Should be in charge of nothing.
Jack Armstrong

So I was watching MSNBC this morning. I do that to see what they're talking about. I think everybody should Ian Bremmer's got an interesting pinned tweet at the top of his Twitter. It says, if you're not following somebody you don't agree with, you're doing it wrong. And I feel the same way about, yeah, Twitter, reading newspapers, watching TV channels. Watch, watch the channels you don't like because there's, there's a lot to learn from that. Anyway, on msnbc, they were discussing that Pew study that came out about how many young people get their news from social media. And Mike Barnacle, who's an old Boston Globe writer who's like 80 years, I mean, like really from old school journalism, saying, I don't know if we can ever be relevant again in newspapers and television. And, you know, one of the reasons it's going to be hard to be relevant again is the crap that you put out. Stop putting out crap. And it'd be a lot easier to be relevant. So on that very channel we played yesterday, their morning host, Joe Scoreborough and Mika Brzezinski, who are actually big deals in Democratic politics, even though you've never watched them, went and visited Trump over the weekend. They went and sat down with Trump and tried to have some sort of. We need to understand the Trump voter or something. I don't know what they're.
Joe Getty
They bent the knee, Jack. They bent the knee.
Jack Armstrong
I don't know if that's what happened. But anyway, it's kind of hilarious. They, they went down and met with Hitler after all the awful things they had said about Trump leading up to the election. Here's a little montage of that. I could go back and talk about Nazi Germany, and I do it. I do it without any concerns whatsoever. And if people can't start drawing the par. Parallels, well, you're just stupid or you have your head in the sand or you're one of them. It's just staggering that people that I know, people that I grew up with, could still even consider voting for this autocrat.
Joe Getty
As important as Trump's fascism is and is the lead story every day. His cozying up to dictators, his obsession with Hitler. But this is what voters know right now, that he is killing us. I'm talking about us women. He's killing us.
Jack Armstrong
Well, she's barely holding it together emotionally because of the damage that's going to be done to women. But then you go down there, you fly down there in your private plane and you, you meet with him for whatever reason because. Well, I think it's because you got no ratings and you're trying to figure out how to save Your careers. That whole. If you don't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, you're either stupid or you're one of them. Wow, that's pretty over the top. Holy.
Joe Getty
We're heading down for lunch.
Jack Armstrong
We're gonna go talk to Hitler because, you know, our ratings are low. Speaking of that, Glenn Greenwald put out yesterday lots of articles on how MSNBC's audience has completely collapsed. Disappeared once Kamala lost. But the full extent is shocking. They're primetime shows, and he's got the list here of all the shows on CNN and msnbc, particularly on msnbc, since that's what we're talking about. Their primetime shows can't even get 75,000 people watching in demo nationwide, and their weekend shows get less than 30. A weekend show on MSNBC in the country of 340 million people gets less than 30,000 viewers.
Joe Getty
There are 50, 100 podcasts.
Jack Armstrong
Oh, God.
Joe Getty
Have much more reach than that, including ours. I mean, why does anybody talk about them at all now? I know. Morning, Jose. Moving leading up to the election was getting a million people.
Jack Armstrong
That's still not much compared to, like, your big podcasts and everything like that. It's. It's not enough to make you a household name. No, definitely not.
Joe Getty
D.C. is a high school. It's a big high school. And they are the publishers of the high school newspaper.
Jack Armstrong
And if you're Mr. Beast or Jake Paul or any of the YouTube sensations, you'd be like, why does anybody even know who they are? I mean, with the relative number.
Joe Getty
Try yourself to sleep at night with their numbers. Yeah.
Jack Armstrong
Isn't that amazing? So a lot of that is just the older generation still in your mind thinking cable news is a big deal. These newspapers are a big deal. The evening news a big deal. They aren't actually. And when we're all dead, which won't be that long, the next generation is not going to care about that stuff at all. They don't now. Right?
Joe Getty
Right. Absolutely outrageous. I have some gender bending madness coming up. We could consider Tulsi Gabbard. Oh. The most entertaining, entertaining, interesting, revealing statistic I've heard yet about the election. All sorts of good stuff to come.

Elect Donald Trump confirming once he takes office he will declare a National emergency and use the military to help carry out his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. Tom Homan saying criminals will be the first to go. Homan says he's heading down to Mar a Lago this week to put the, quote, final touches on a plan. So that's going to be one of the biggest stories of the very early part of the Trump administration. I just saw a Washington. No, the Hill. The Hill had the headline, Trump promised to be a dictator on day one. How Democrats can push back.
Joe Getty
So that, seriously.
Jack Armstrong
I know, I know you realize that sort of talk got Trump elected. But anyway, that is going to be the, probably the first biggest thing he says that that's going to be the priority on day one is to get the deportation thing started. So that'll be your first hullabaloo. Then you got the confirmation process for a bunch of different candidates. We all know that one. And then the whole tax thing hits the Trump tax cuts and how they're going to be handled. So the first year is going to be jazzy, man.
Joe Getty
Well, and we're going to hear hot and cold running fake outrage, for sure. I like that. The clip we played earlier, Scott Jennings saying, and you know, during Obama's time, he was deporting people like crazy. Where was your outrage then, you phony.
Jack Armstrong
Right. Which is worth bringing up in a second. We'll get back to the deportations. Wanted to hear from Tom Holman, who is going to be Trump's immigration czar.
Joe Getty
Is that his official title, Head of the cbp? What is he going to be?
Jack Armstrong
He's a guy yelling and talking about illegals. And this is particularly talking some about the deportation and the Lake and Riley trial that's going on. She was killed by an illegal. Here's him yesterday.
Advertiser 8
Look, he should have been, he should have been arrested by ICE in New York City, by their sanctuary city. He should never be in the country under President Trump. He wouldn't have been here. He would have been waiting in Mexico on the Remain in Mexico program. But here's what I want for all those mayors and governors who said they're going to push back on ICE to do this operation, I want you to listen to that tape of the young, that young lady fighting for her life, fighting for her breath. She did not want to die and she fought hard. Listen to it. Just don't say, okay, another one died. No, I want you to listen to the struggles because that happens across this country almost every day by an illegal alien. So I want those sanctuary city people out There saying they're going to push back on ice. Listen to that and tell me. I just said President Trump wants to take public safety threats off the street. That's a priority as elected mayor, elected governor. Are you telling me that you don't want public safety threats out of your communities? That is your number one responsibility to protect your community. So smarten up and work with us.
Joe Getty
I loved what he said the other day, too. He said, all right, you're a city, you're a sanctuary city. You're not going to work with us. We're going to send enough ICE agents to get the job done. It's not going to impede us for a minute. You're going to make it harder for us to do our jobs. We are going to flood your city with ICE agents.
Jack Armstrong
That Lake and Riley trial is going on. It's pretty damn gruesome. So I haven't followed it.
Joe Getty
It's heartbreaking.
Jack Armstrong
Yeah, it's just awful. It's not surprising, I guess, that practically all headlines about it, when they covered it all, don't mention the guy being illegal, like in the first paragraph or anything. That's why you've heard her name. Lots of people get killed, unfortunately, across the country, and they don't become a national story. Do you know why this one's a national story? Because she was killed by an illegal. That's the whole reason it's a story.
Joe Getty
And I heard, I haven't independently verified this, that the federal government shipped the guy, having not booted him out of the country, shipped the guy to Georgia because they're redistributing various illegal immigrants all over the land. And that's where he murdered poor Ms. Riley.
Jack Armstrong
So we were talking deportation some last hour, and the idea that there are 600,000 convicted criminals currently in the United States, that's the government's own numbers. That's the number Martha Raditz used on ABC this week Sunday morning. 600,000 criminals. And that's who the Trump administration says they're going to start with in terms of deport, deporting. And I was saying, how can you, how can you be against that? So our friend Tim Sandifer, Tim, the lawyer weighed in, texting me on my personal phone. He is, don't want to put words in his mouth, but he leans way more toward the libertarian open borders view of the way the world's drawn, which would be easier if we didn't have a welfare state. But I won't get hung up on that. He texted this. If there are 600,000 illegals who are criminals and you want to deport them, you give them due process of law. Right. So at least a hearing. Let's say each Hearing lasts only 10 minutes. That's 6 million minutes. That's 11 years. Unless Trump succeeds at his next January 6th attempt to stay in office illegally, his term won't last that long. So no due process of law. What due process do you get isn't illegal, or do you have to have process to figure out if you're illegal?
Joe Getty
Well, I've got a philosophical problem with that. I also have a mathematical problem with that. If you have 100 courts nationwide doing these hearings, you've cut that timetable by 1 to 1 100th of that or maybe 500 courts. Right? Sure, yeah. Or set up a quote unquote court in every storefront in Amarillo. I don't know. And as far as due process is concerned, I'm not an expert on immigration law. I would certainly say, yeah, it's got to go through that process, whatever that is. On the other hand, you don't deserve.
Jack Armstrong
Due process if you're here illegally, do you? But so the due process comes in trying to figure out if you're illegal or not. So you don't snatch citizens or people who have the proper documentation and send them out. Is that the whole thing?
Joe Getty
Well, we'll see.
Jack Armstrong
That's the problem.
Joe Getty
We've gotten to a weird space, and again, if I were an actual legal expert on this, I'd be able to unleash a more informative screed than I'm about to. But we have reached a point where merely being in the country illegally is not deemed reason to deport.
Jack Armstrong
Right. And this has been the problem with illegal immigration. We've been talking about this for 30 years. And it's always the same thing. You allow so much illegal immigration that it gets into the fabric work of everything. And then you've got all this pushback about why you. Well, who's going to pick the tomatoes? Well, we wouldn't have gotten so off track with the way our system of labor works if we hadn't allowed so many illegal immigrants. And then, you know, well, we got to give them driver's license because how are they supposed to get to work if they're already here working? So tell them they can't drive is dumb. You just keep back during all these things.
Joe Getty
And they're getting free education and health care and taxpayer fund are not free. And by the way, they get scholarships to our universities. And now you're going to boot them out. That's bizarre. Well, you know, given the reality of the blue states. Yeah, it is kind of bizarre, honestly.
Jack Armstrong
But you see what I mean? It's just, it's. So the argument is always, you let them all in and then you come up with all the reasons that you can't do anything about it now. Well, they had a kid here, so the kid's a citizen. So what are you going to do? Boot the kid out with the. And make the parents go, or is the kid going by himself? And the kid has to go to school. It's the law. And they don't speak English, so we got to have a teacher that speaks to several languages to make sure that it just gets more and more complicated all the time.
Joe Getty
Yeah. At a certain point, and, you know, corporations can certainly tell you this, those that have been, you know, picked up by the scruff of their dysfunctional neck and shaken and reformed and become successful again by some new CEO or whatever, you have to return to first principles. And then when somebody says, yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but, no, no, no, there's no compromising on your first principle. And then if you have to unknot a bunch of things you've knotted up through your terrible policies through the years, yeah, that's going to take some time and effort. But don't. Don't hit me with a yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but when I say if you're not here legally, you gotta go.
Jack Armstrong
Well, if I was gonna argue it on the other side, I would say good job on us. On the, we want as many illegals as possible, which again, we're all guessing as to why that is. Some of it is big. Labor needs the workers, so they're cool with it. And then Democrats wrongly assumed that they get enough people coming into this country from other countries, they'd all be Democrats for life. But that has turned out to absolutely not be true. So I'm surprised the Democratic Party hasn't turned somewhat on the immigration thing since a majority of Hispanic men voted for Trump this time around. But anyway, on the side of wanting it to happen. Yeah, it works pretty well. Once you get people here, it's just so damn difficult to boot them out without getting into the due process problem or the who's going to do the labor or separating families or all these other knots that you called them that get knotted up when you allow this in the first place.
Joe Getty
Yeah. And I would say also to folks expressing what Tim expressed, which is absolutely a valid point of view. I mean, clearly there's got to be due process. You can't just run around grabbing anybody who looks somewhat brown and heaving them into Juarez City. Okay, I get that. On the other hand, the idea that, I don't know, we might go a little too far in not letting illegal immigrants stay. I mean, we're like a thousand miles from that.
Jack Armstrong
Well. Right. But the question always to me is, so then what? So I guess there's nothing you can do. I mean, is that it? Guess there's nothing you can do. I guess we let in record number, week after week, month after month, year after year of illegal law, and there's just nothing you can do at this point because it'd violate this or that or be unfair here or there. And so I guess everybody just gets to stay. Is that the answer? Because that sounds like what the answer is.
Joe Getty
It's sure. Something like that, yeah. Yeah. On a completely different topic. Unless you have more on that.
Jack Armstrong
I don't.
Joe Getty
Well, and again, we've been at it for 30 years and God will be at it for 30 more. Actually, if I'm doing this in 30 years, God strike me down.
Jack Armstrong
Well, geez, you'd be in your. You'd be almost 90, right?
Joe Getty
Yeah. Yeah. Who'd want to hear that? I wouldn't want to hear that. It's not going to happen. The fabulous Andy ngo, who tracks the far left violence of antifa and folks like that. He's based out of Portland. He and some other Internet sleuths have come across this Secret Service agent who is a hardcore antifa supporter. Way lefty, pro lefty violence, absolute nut job. And the Secret Service hasn't figured this out or noticed it or whatever, what have you. But the, the online sleuths have, they've named the guy, they got pictures of the guy. Yeah, all it takes is, you know, an hour or two's worth of effort. And they found. What's the specifics of it? Um, they found his various social media accounts, even like music accounts and whatever, using the same screen name with the same profile, a lot of the same verbiage with his name and his face. The same screen name. He posts under these, to these antifa groups, talking about how he's been in law enforcement, but he hates it and he hates all his colleagues and he really wants to, you know, strike a blow for, you know, your, your radical leftists and all. Again, Internet sleuths could figure this out and there's two shakes of a lamb's tail, but it was beyond the abilities of the Secret Service to rat to Root this guy out. It's just unbelievable.
Jack Armstrong
I've got three quick celebrity stories before we wrap up this segment. One, the country music awards are tomorrow night. You know what's interesting about that? It's the most watched awards show in America now. Oscars, Grammys, whatever. Country music awards are the biggest one. Peyton Manning, one of the hosts. He's very funny and very popular. Other celebrity story. Rod Stewart has just announced his one last time tour. He's going to do a farewell tour and I'm sure those will be big tickets.
Joe Getty
Unless there's another one.
Jack Armstrong
Unless he does it like four more times.
Joe Getty
But farewell tour is not a legally binding term.
Jack Armstrong
It's like organic apparently.
Joe Getty
True means whatever you want it to me.
Jack Armstrong
And then this one. Here's my favorite celebrity story of the day. Full team coverage on the fact that Betty White is going to get a new forever stamp. She will be on the forever stamp of the Betty White stamp. There you go. Super fantastic. I do think it's who have ever mailed anything in the last two years?
Joe Getty
Nobody cares. But the Country Music Awards, the CMAs. Is that what you said? Is the fact that that's the biggest, most watched is interesting to me. On the other hand, and I know a lot of folks agree, if it was the Joe Getty Society gives Joe Getty awards for being Joe Getty, I wouldn't watch that show.
Jack Armstrong
I like the performances. I'll probably watch. I want to see Shabuzi sing a bar song and what's his name, the big fat guy. Jelly roll is going to do a bunch of stuff.
Joe Getty
There are a lot of big fat guys, Jack, which one do you mean?
Jack Armstrong

That's livenation.com gifts Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro urging counties to respect the State Supreme Court's decision and stop counting disputed ballots, saying the following quote, any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. The rule of law matters in this commonwealth and as I have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions. Pennsylvania gets a kick out of calling themselves a commonwealth for whatever reason, but what's going on there?
Joe Getty
The recount of the Senate election, which was very, very close. There were a bunch of precincts where were in defiance of a judge's order Counting undated or unsigned ballots. And the Supreme Court came and said, y'all gotta stop and you gotta stop now. Now you said you saw a headline that implied that it was going both ways. I haven't come across that.
Jack Armstrong
Well, I think Josh Shapiro said that yesterday because the governor had not made a statement about it. And then he made a statement yesterday, the counties counting illegally, both directions, something or other. Maybe he just did that for cover. I don't know.
Joe Getty
I don't know. But I suspect rather strongly. It's like when Harvard comes out and says, yeah, we've had anti Semitism and anti Muslim sentiment too. Yeah, except it's been 101, you lying liars. Anyway, we'll look into that and bring it to you. I've got a couple of stories here briefly that have to do with putting people in groups. I think the way to bring people together is to divide them up into groups. So that's what we're going to do. First of all, skyrocketing property values are dividing Americans into three broad camps. Those that are now locked out of homeownership.
Jack Armstrong
That'd be me.
Joe Getty
Those that are effectively stuck in their current homes. And a lucky minority who have the flexibility to cash out at a historic cost. Although you gotta live somewhere, right.
Jack Armstrong
And rent is so high you almost have to move to make it work. You almost have to move someplace cheaper or really, really downsize, right?
Joe Getty
Yeah. Or if you've got a ton of equity, you. So you bank that, then you pay whatever you want in rent, I guess. But anyway, rent is that sane?
Jack Armstrong
At least we're around here. I mean the rent is too damn high.
Joe Getty
Thank you, sir. It's good point. All of it has changed. Who walks through real estate agents doors? The share of sales to first buyers has dropped to a record low 24%. They don't say what it has been historically, so that doesn't help me much anyway. And first time buyers do show up have aged almost a decade. Traditionally, Americans got a foothold on the property ladder during their late 20s. Today, the median age of first time buyers is 38.
Jack Armstrong
Wow. Wow.
Joe Getty
By the time Americans can afford a home now, they've missed out on 10 years of wealth creation that older generations enjoyed. I thought that was really interesting.
Jack Armstrong
If that's going to continue to be true. I mean, houses are so expensive. Are they going to continue to go up over the next 10 years the way they have historically or not?
Joe Getty
Geez, nobody knows. Unnoting the whole crazy, crazy low rates followed by much more historically normal rates how does that go? How does that not? Nobody knows for sure and I could go. We don't have much time. Oh, I really want to talk about this, but I refuse to rush through it. It. I refuse.
Jack Armstrong
It's tremendous discipline you're showing. Yeah, I feel like I got nothing to look forward to now that the Tyson Paul fight is over. I need something on my calendar to look forward to.
Joe Getty
You needed counseling and to be slapped.
