[0:11] Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the
[0:14] Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center.
[0:16] Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
[0:19] Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. live
[0:32] Speaker 3: from studio c c senor it is a dimly lit
[0:36] Speaker 3: room deeper than the bowels of the armstrong and getty
[0:39] Speaker 3: communications compound and today we are toiling under the title
[0:43] Speaker 3: of the show oh my omar better price real estate
[0:47] Speaker 3: mogadishu or if you prefer kimberly guilfoyle states of course
[0:53] Speaker 3: i'm a grifter we all are She did? I didn't
[0:57] Speaker 3: hear that. What'd she say? She did not say. I
[0:58] Speaker 3: put those words in her ample mouth. Wow. She looks
[1:03] Speaker 3: like the Joker. A little bit. Man, you went too far. Yes.
[1:08] Speaker 3: That's what those people do, the people who get carved on.
[1:11] Speaker 3: They take it a step too far. Does anybody stop?
[1:13] Speaker 3: An ample bosomed Joker, yes. Does anybody stop in time?
[1:16] Speaker 3: Or I guess the ones that stop in time, you
[1:18] Speaker 3: don't remark on them because they still look like human beings.
[1:21] Speaker 3: She's always been a quirky looking gal. Not like this, though.
[1:25] Speaker 3: I wouldn't have run in terror. And run off. It's
[1:30] Speaker 3: just not that crazy. Oh, you got to see a good,
[1:35] Speaker 3: like a candid shot. That's not like the perfect lighting
[1:37] Speaker 3: and everything like that. And besides, I don't think her
[1:40] Speaker 3: looks are fundamental to the story before us. You like
[1:43] Speaker 3: talking about El Syed's height when he's an active supporter
[1:46] Speaker 3: of jihadis. I feel like it makes you a certain
[1:48] Speaker 3: sort of person. Maybe if you get your face all
[1:51] Speaker 3: carved up, it's a little weird, isn't it? Probably, yeah. Yeah,
[1:53] Speaker 3: they call it Mar-a-Lago face. We talked about that a
[1:56] Speaker 3: couple of months ago. That's the way you show that
[1:59] Speaker 3: you're really wealthy, that you'll go to extraordinary lengths of
[2:03] Speaker 3: plastic surgery to preserve your quote-unquote youth. Interesting. You don't
[2:08] Speaker 3: want it to look natural. I was at a hipster
[2:10] Speaker 3: barber place yesterday that my son likes to go, and
[2:13] Speaker 3: they're all, you know, they're living on the edge of
[2:18] Speaker 3: society there. And one chick shows up and like the
[2:24] Speaker 3: person doing my son's hair, who is very, very nice
[2:26] Speaker 3: and very good. And he likes her. And I'm glad
[2:28] Speaker 3: she's found a career path and all that. But she
[2:31] Speaker 3: probably has 20 things in her face. 20. And so anyway.
[2:37] Speaker 3: Can't get through the airport metal detector. How do they
[2:40] Speaker 3: do that?
[2:42] Speaker 2: Do you know?
[2:42] Speaker 3: They don't make you take all those out and put
[2:44] Speaker 3: in a little dish, do they? Every single one of them?
[2:46] Speaker 3: Or do they just wand your face? Okay, I can
[2:48] Speaker 3: see what's going on here. Katie, you're a young hipster.
[2:51] Speaker 3: Any idea? No.
[2:53] Speaker 2: I mean, I've never been stopped for my nose ring.
[2:55] Speaker 2: I don't think that it's a.
[2:57] Speaker 3: But she had like a pound of metal in her face.
[2:59] Speaker 3: You'd think that'd go beep. Anyway, some woman walks up
[3:03] Speaker 3: that works there, young woman, and one of the guys
[3:06] Speaker 3: who works there says, Oh my gosh, you have a
[3:08] Speaker 3: new hole in your face. Tell me about it. It
[3:10] Speaker 3: looks fantastic. which I thought was an interesting expression. You
[3:13] Speaker 3: have a new hole in your face. But because she
[3:16] Speaker 3: added to her dozen and a half metal things on
[3:19] Speaker 3: her face. But so that's the look in that crowd.
[3:24] Speaker 3: And you got a signal that, you know, I'm part
[3:26] Speaker 3: of this crowd. This is the crowd I'm part of.
[3:29] Speaker 3: So for Kimberly Guilfoyle, you're saying the way you symbolize,
[3:32] Speaker 3: you make it clear I'm part of this crowd is you.
[3:35] Speaker 3: She would walk in. They'd say, oh, my gosh, your
[3:37] Speaker 3: eyes are so squinty you can't see it. It looks fantastic. Right.
[3:40] Speaker 3: You look permanently surprised. You know, this is obviously not
[3:45] Speaker 3: an original observation, but the incredible conformity of the nonconformist
[3:49] Speaker 3: crowd has long amused me. Right. Among the most conformist
[3:53] Speaker 3: of crowds. That's a good point. I mean, in that place,
[3:56] Speaker 3: there were 15 people that looked basically exactly the same
[4:00] Speaker 3: as people who are, you know, going to do their
[4:02] Speaker 3: own thing. That's I did the same. Yeah, I get it. Yeah,
[4:05] Speaker 3: I was young, too. Not to that extreme, but I
[4:07] Speaker 3: did the same thing. Here's the most interesting thing I've
[4:10] Speaker 3: heard today. The polling, whatever polling place they used on
[4:16] Speaker 3: News Nation, it was the first time ever in their
[4:19] Speaker 3: polling that independents made up a majority of the voters
[4:24] Speaker 3: they were polling. It's a bigger percentage than Republicans and
[4:28] Speaker 3: Democrats added together. That is interesting. Isn't that something? National poll? Yeah,
[4:33] Speaker 3: national poll. News Nation doing the national Congress number where
[4:38] Speaker 3: Democrats are up eight or something like that in the
[4:40] Speaker 3: national poll, which is basically a useless number because there
[4:44] Speaker 3: are states where. Republicans hold sway. But anyway, what does
[4:50] Speaker 3: that mean that we're now a majority declare ourselves? And
[4:54] Speaker 3: what we are is and I think almost everybody listening
[4:58] Speaker 3: who calls himself an independent is this. I used to
[5:02] Speaker 3: be pretty solidly one of the parties, but I don't
[5:05] Speaker 3: tell myself that anymore because there's too many crazy people
[5:08] Speaker 3: in it. That's what that majority is, isn't it? Right. Yeah.
[5:12] Speaker 3: I don't want to be thought of as being like them. So, yeah,
[5:16] Speaker 3: I'll just call myself independent. I will frequently vote in
[5:18] Speaker 3: one direction or another. But no, I don't I don't
[5:20] Speaker 3: want to walk around with the same, you know, team
[5:23] Speaker 3: jacket on. So the same piercings, as it were. So
[5:26] Speaker 3: a lot of the people that used to be Republicans
[5:28] Speaker 3: just have had enough Trump and call themselves independents. And
[5:31] Speaker 3: then there's the crowd I grew up with, like you're
[5:33] Speaker 3: all your Democrats that are farmers and whatnot. They're not
[5:36] Speaker 3: into it. The trans stuff, socialist stuff, and the Islam stuff,
[5:42] Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff. Right, exactly. They don't
[5:44] Speaker 3: want to call themselves Democrats. I don't know. That seems
[5:47] Speaker 3: like a pretty major inflection point to me. What, a
[5:50] Speaker 3: majority of people don't want to be either of the
[5:52] Speaker 3: two parties that have dominated our politics for 150 years? Sure,
[5:56] Speaker 3: in a system that elects folks via majorities, yeah, I'd
[6:01] Speaker 3: say that is important. You know, I would love to see,
[6:04] Speaker 3: now we have to have a poll of the independents
[6:06] Speaker 3: to figure out what brand of independents they are. I mean,
[6:09] Speaker 3: they might split right down the middle, left and right,
[6:12] Speaker 3: leftish and rightish, but I don't know. But clearly, you know,
[6:14] Speaker 3: it's the inevitable result of the utter incompetence and ridiculousness
[6:19] Speaker 3: of both political parties. I mean, I get it. So
[6:24] Speaker 3: their headline out of that was first time ever that
[6:27] Speaker 3: a majority of people call themselves independents. And then a
[6:29] Speaker 3: majority of those say they are either undecided or their
[6:33] Speaker 3: votes could change before three weeks from today. So not
[6:37] Speaker 3: very solid either direction. Everybody's looking for something. That's enough
[6:43] Speaker 3: people you could sway an election either way. Although I
[6:45] Speaker 3: think I would assume most people come home to whatever
[6:49] Speaker 3: party they used to call themselves before they were embarrassed
[6:52] Speaker 3: by the party. That they no longer want to have
[6:54] Speaker 3: attached to their name. I would assume that's what happens
[6:57] Speaker 3: most of the time. Yeah, I would agree. I don't know.
[7:01] Speaker 3: So does it seems like it ought to be fertile
[7:04] Speaker 3: ground for some third way to come through finally, as
[7:08] Speaker 3: has been talked about my whole life? You'd think when
[7:11] Speaker 3: a majority are calling themselves independents, but. Yeah, it's promising. Honestly,
[7:15] Speaker 3: it's not out of the question. The one thing the
[7:18] Speaker 3: Republicans and Democrats can agree on is we want to
[7:22] Speaker 3: keep being the duopoly. And so the Coke and Pepsi
[7:26] Speaker 3: of politics will squeeze the RC Cola right out into
[7:30] Speaker 3: the cat food aisle. Yes, they're going to make sure
[7:32] Speaker 3: the American Party is not on the end cap at
[7:36] Speaker 3: the grocery store with the Coke and the Pepsi. You're
[7:37] Speaker 3: going to have to walk down the aisle if you
[7:39] Speaker 3: want the American Party. Right, because they're all grifters. Everyone's
[7:42] Speaker 3: a grifter. Everyone's a thief. And those of you who
[7:45] Speaker 3: are exceptions to that in D.C. or the statehouse of
[7:48] Speaker 3: your choice, I apologize. But it's the 95% that are
[7:52] Speaker 3: giving the 5% a bad name. Yeah, that's what causes it. Yeah.
[7:56] Speaker 3: We should start the show officially because we've got a
[7:58] Speaker 3: juicy one to get into. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.
[8:00] Speaker 3: On this, it is Tuesday. Why is my watch in...
[8:05] Speaker 3: Airplane mode. It's October 13th here, 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty,
[8:10] Speaker 3: and we approve this program. There we go. Officially, according
[8:13] Speaker 3: to FCC rules and regs, leaping into action at mark. Well,
[8:16] Speaker 3: I understand they're looking at her very carefully. I've always
[8:20] Speaker 3: vowed to be totally crooked personally, but that has nothing
[8:23] Speaker 3: to do with me. What is he talking about, Joe?
[8:26] Speaker 3: I recognize that voice of Donald J. Trump. Former real
[8:30] Speaker 3: estate developer from New York. That's correct. He's now the president.
[8:34] Speaker 3: He's talking about the investigation, the raid of Ilan Omar's Washington, D.C.
[8:40] Speaker 3: area abode. Charges pending, lurking, justice seeking to be done.
[8:48] Speaker 3: This is finally, finally being done. So she's a Somali-American
[8:53] Speaker 3: who got elected to Congress. So she's one of the
[8:55] Speaker 3: Somalis that came here to Minnesota, like so many did. Correct.
[8:59] Speaker 3: And many of them decided to figure out how to
[9:01] Speaker 3: get on government dole and rip us off. But she
[9:05] Speaker 3: became a congressperson. Correct, yes. And they raided her house,
[9:08] Speaker 3: which seems like a pretty big deal, especially this close
[9:10] Speaker 3: to an election. Immigration crimes, don't you know? Misrepresentation of herself,
[9:17] Speaker 3: her age, her husband, brother, her brother-husband. The family's full
[9:24] Speaker 3: of weird hidden identities and deceptions, which we will discuss later.
[9:29] Speaker 3: But yeah, so whether this is three weeks before an election,
[9:35] Speaker 3: it's rather precedent-breaking since she is on the ballot. On
[9:38] Speaker 3: the other hand, I believe her to be an Islamist,
[9:44] Speaker 3: and I think she hates America and is bent on
[9:46] Speaker 3: the radical changes that her ilk seek. Well, the studious
[9:51] Speaker 3: Noah Rothman of National Review pointed this out last night
[9:55] Speaker 3: to all the news networks that are going with the narrative.
[10:00] Speaker 3: that this is just Trump lawfare trying to sway the election, blah, blah, blah.
[10:07] Speaker 3: Noah Rothman stating on CNN last night that, hey, this
[10:10] Speaker 3: investigation began under Joe Biden, was conducted by the U.S.
[10:15] Speaker 3: Attorney's Office in Minneapolis and has been going on for
[10:17] Speaker 3: quite some time. The New York Times and NBC reporting
[10:21] Speaker 3: saying this goes way beyond the allegations that were started with.
[10:24] Speaker 3: It involves whistleblowers, documents, prolonged investigations, all kinds of contacts
[10:28] Speaker 3: between Omar and foreign individuals, campaign finance, all kinds of
[10:32] Speaker 3: different stuff that has been going on for a long time. Again,
[10:34] Speaker 3: that started under the Biden administration. So the idea that. Trump,
[10:39] Speaker 3: you know, was storming around the Oval Office the other day,
[10:42] Speaker 3: say arrest her and then the Justice Department runs out
[10:44] Speaker 3: and raids her house is not accurate. She is certainly
[10:48] Speaker 3: so closely tied to the hundreds of millions of dollars
[10:53] Speaker 3: Somali mob in Minnesota that there's plenty to look at there.
[10:59] Speaker 3: If it turns out that whole marriage between her and
[11:02] Speaker 3: her brother, is that what was going on there? Yeah.
[11:05] Speaker 3: That's right. I said marriage between her and her brother
[11:08] Speaker 3: to get him into the country or whatever. If there's
[11:09] Speaker 3: some good stuff there, that'll be a fun story. We'll
[11:12] Speaker 3: break it down for you. Break it down.
[11:14] Speaker 2: Break it down.
[11:16] Speaker 3: Wow. That is a heck of a thing. The Justice
[11:19] Speaker 3: Department has unofficial rules that you don't do this sort
[11:22] Speaker 3: of stuff this close to election. See Hillary Clinton and
[11:26] Speaker 3: James Comey a month before the presidential election in 2016,
[11:30] Speaker 3: but sometimes they do it. So we've got Katie's headlines
[11:33] Speaker 3: on the way and lots of good stuff today. Stay here.
[11:36] Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
[11:40] Speaker 3: Great Monday night football game last night. Holy cow. Like
[11:43] Speaker 3: 19 lead changes and overtime and everything like that. But
[11:47] Speaker 3: the L.A. Rams, who were the odds-on favorites to win
[11:51] Speaker 3: the Super Bowl this year, are 2-3. That was not expected. Meanwhile,
[11:56] Speaker 3: the Dodgers down 2-0 to the Brew Crew. It was
[11:59] Speaker 3: a rough day for Los Angeles sports, no doubt. Oh, my.
[12:02] Speaker 3: Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's Leeds Truth. Katie Green. Katie.
[12:05] Speaker 3: All right.
[12:06] Speaker 4: Alphabet Network's outraged over Ilhan Omar's house being raided. NBC,
[12:10] Speaker 4: Trump attacks Representative Ilhan Omar and Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed
[12:15] Speaker 4: at Ohio rally. CBS, Representative Omar's D.C. home searched by
[12:20] Speaker 4: Homeland Security investigators. And PBS, Omar accuses Trump of a
[12:26] Speaker 4: political intimidation after agents search her home.
[12:31] Speaker 3: Investigation started under Biden and also in the state of
[12:36] Speaker 3: Minneapolis before Trump was president again.
[12:43] Speaker 2: New York Times.
[12:45] Speaker 3: Yeah. It's a bad thing, in my opinion. Not super popular.
[12:54] Speaker 2: Washington Post.
[12:55] Speaker 4: As the Houthis strike, Saudi Arabia confronts the cost of
[12:59] Speaker 4: the U.S.
[13:00] Speaker 2: War on Iran. Sorry.
[13:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, the Middle East is a boiling cauldron of angst
[13:08] Speaker 3: and horror, and always has been, and it's moved into
[13:11] Speaker 3: a new phase. Nobody knows who's in charge. The alliances
[13:14] Speaker 3: are crumbling. Everybody's searching around for what's next, and there's
[13:18] Speaker 3: violence in the air. So, anyway. Boiling cauldron of hate
[13:22] Speaker 3: sand and camels. Hmm.
[13:25] Speaker 2: ABC News.
[13:27] Speaker 4: Anthropic warns AI models could soon copy themselves in small devices.
[13:33] Speaker 3: And what would that do to me?
[13:35] Speaker 4: They're talking about basically if you have a small wearable,
[13:39] Speaker 4: that AI could team up with, let's say, if you
[13:42] Speaker 4: have a smart oven or something like that.
[13:45] Speaker 2: And they're talking about how these two could be able
[13:47] Speaker 2: to communicate.
[13:48] Speaker 3: So my watch and my oven are going to gang
[13:50] Speaker 3: up on me?
[13:50] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[13:52] Speaker 3: You're watching your aura get together and take over your hand.
[13:56] Speaker 3: My watch is going to say, hey, your next fitness
[13:58] Speaker 3: goal is to see if you can fit in the oven.
[14:01] Speaker 3: Then the oven will say, quick, turn on, turn on. Wow. Yes,
[14:05] Speaker 3: that's right. Got a Hansel and Gretel view going.
[14:14] Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, President Trump says that he is, quote,
[14:17] Speaker 4: looking at firing Kimberly Guilfoyle.
[14:21] Speaker 3: Why? Because she's a crook? No. Because he's not happy.
[14:24] Speaker 3: Everybody's a crook.
[14:25] Speaker 2: He's not happy with her.
[14:26] Speaker 3: I swear. We'll go into the accusations. It's all so tawdry.
[14:35] Speaker 3: New York Post.
[14:37] Speaker 4: The future of fitness is robotic. Exoskeletons promise to supercharge
[14:42] Speaker 4: your workout.
[14:44] Speaker 1: Huh.
[14:45] Speaker 3: That's interesting. So it would be kind of along the
[14:47] Speaker 3: lines of the motorized bikes with pedals where it kind
[14:50] Speaker 3: of helps you do your thing?
[14:53] Speaker 4: Yeah, this woman is wearing, like, a belt, and then
[14:56] Speaker 4: it has hinges on her hips, and it connects to
[14:59] Speaker 4: her knees, and apparently it helps her for long-distance running.
[15:02] Speaker 3: And then it teams up with your oven? But then
[15:06] Speaker 3: she's not long-distance running. A machine is. Well, that's what
[15:09] Speaker 3: I say about people on the bikes. Then you're not
[15:10] Speaker 3: riding a bike. The machine is. But people are kind
[15:13] Speaker 3: of pedaling, so... Right. I mean, it's not doing nothing.
[15:17] Speaker 1: It's fine.
[15:18] Speaker 3: If you want to, go ahead. But don't say, yeah,
[15:21] Speaker 3: I got 30 miles in today. I hide my own
[15:24] Speaker 3: chest with an exoskeleton on.
[15:28] Speaker 4: Study finds, survey says, nearly two in three Gen Z
[15:33] Speaker 4: daters have tried psychics and spells to find love.
[15:38] Speaker 3: Two out of three?
[15:39] Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
[15:43] Speaker 3: Psychics I'll do, but spells, that's just ridiculous. Let me
[15:45] Speaker 3: do a psychic reading on them. You're going to lose
[15:48] Speaker 3: all your money before you're 30. That was my prediction. Oof.
[15:53] Speaker 2: Also, oof, from the Babylon Bee.
[15:56] Speaker 4: Trump tells liberals uncomfortable with public execution to just imagine
[16:01] Speaker 4: it's a healthcare CEO.
[16:04] Speaker 3: Oh, that's a pretty good line. That's fabulous. That's a
[16:09] Speaker 3: pretty good line. Yeah, yeah. So, back to Kimberly Guilfoyle's face.
[16:17] Speaker 3: What the what?
[16:18] Speaker 2: Sense.
[16:19] Speaker 3: I am a serious analyst of events and policy. Since
[16:24] Speaker 3: we got the cameras in here, and Hanson, I don't
[16:26] Speaker 3: know when we actually start on YouTube. I don't know.
[16:28] Speaker 3: It's a complicated process, apparently. But anyway, so Hanson has
[16:32] Speaker 3: been making promos and videos and stuff like that and
[16:35] Speaker 3: post them in various places. Some of you have seen
[16:37] Speaker 3: them on Facebook or Twitter or wherever. Lots of comments
[16:42] Speaker 3: on me obviously having Botox, which I found interesting. I
[16:47] Speaker 3: just am not a very wrinkled man. I am a
[16:49] Speaker 3: bald person, but I don't have many wrinkles. But I
[16:51] Speaker 3: am not Botoxing. I would say it out loud. He
[16:53] Speaker 3: shoots himself up every day when he comes to the studio.
[16:56] Speaker 3: What have I ever not said out loud? Probably not wisely.
[16:59] Speaker 3: Everything that I'm doing or not doing. Right. Right. I
[17:05] Speaker 3: have never known Mr. Armstrong to Botox. I'm looking at
[17:08] Speaker 3: a picture of Kim Guilfoyle. I'm telling you, I don't
[17:11] Speaker 3: think she's had a lot of work. I just think
[17:13] Speaker 3: she was a quirky looking gal who is not aged
[17:18] Speaker 3: as well as some. Okay. If you say so. I'm
[17:21] Speaker 3: going to come up with some different pictures. This needs
[17:24] Speaker 3: to be a full debate.
[17:25] Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
[17:28] Speaker 3: I've got an idea for a running topic based off
[17:32] Speaker 3: Shane Gillis' monologue from Saturday Night Live the other night.
[17:35] Speaker 3: Because we got a few texts about that yesterday. I'll
[17:39] Speaker 3: explain that coming up and maybe you can weigh in. Excellent. Meanwhile,
[17:45] Speaker 3: a figure familiar to West Coasters and increasingly to all
[17:49] Speaker 3: of America through her exciting career on Fox News and
[17:53] Speaker 3: then briefly fiancé to Don Jr. They were actually engaged. Yes,
[17:59] Speaker 3: and now ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. I didn't follow
[18:04] Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. What happened to their engagement? I
[18:07] Speaker 3: had to be reminded of it. I don't know. They
[18:08] Speaker 3: broke up. That doesn't happen very often, does it? Sure
[18:11] Speaker 3: it does. One out of three. Nobody knows. I don't care. Oh,
[18:18] Speaker 3: I don't. I'm OK. I'm OK. If you are formally engaged,
[18:22] Speaker 3: meaning you have told people you're engaged, perhaps a ring
[18:25] Speaker 3: has been exchanged, et cetera. What percentage of those break up?
[18:28] Speaker 3: I don't have the slightest idea. National conversation. It was
[18:31] Speaker 3: they were engaged. It makes it harder if you're a celebrity. Yeah. Yeah.
[18:37] Speaker 3: But then Don Jr. went to the old man. He said, hey,
[18:40] Speaker 3: I'm breaking up with Kim. She's kind of a pain
[18:41] Speaker 3: in the ass. Any chance you could get her out
[18:43] Speaker 3: of the country? And Papa obliged. Gave her the gig
[18:46] Speaker 3: as ambassador to Greece, which would be a fantastic job. Oh,
[18:49] Speaker 3: my God. I would love to be an ambassador to somewhere.
[18:53] Speaker 3: To some cool place. And nobody, and I mean nobody,
[18:58] Speaker 3: is trying to keep track of whether you did a
[19:01] Speaker 3: good job or not. No, and everybody knows how you
[19:04] Speaker 3: get an ambassadorship. You donate an enormous amount of money
[19:07] Speaker 3: to the politician and their PACs and the rest of it,
[19:10] Speaker 3: and then you're tabbed to do that. Is it accurate,
[19:18] Speaker 3: the common version of this story, when it's not a
[19:20] Speaker 3: country like, the ambassador to Russia or whatever, you know, China,
[19:26] Speaker 3: those could be some very difficult positions. But like here,
[19:29] Speaker 3: you know, some friendly country that's a nice place to be.
[19:32] Speaker 3: You're really just going out to eat and living in
[19:35] Speaker 3: a really cool house, right? Yeah, you go to receptions.
[19:38] Speaker 3: You make nice with the leadership there. You occasionally deliver
[19:41] Speaker 3: a message. And if, you know, uncomfortableness breaks out between
[19:46] Speaker 3: your countries, they summon you to the office, say, I'm
[19:49] Speaker 3: going to say I really like you. you the riot act.
[19:50] Speaker 3: All right. What are you doing the rest of the day?
[19:53] Speaker 3: I may play golf. Oh, that's nice. Where are you playing? Okay.
[19:55] Speaker 3: And then they can announce that, yes, I summoned the
[19:57] Speaker 3: ambassador to the presidential palace and made clear our feelings
[20:03] Speaker 3: on this matter. Yes, exactly. You show up and you
[20:06] Speaker 3: go to a fancy meal, leave your fancy house. They
[20:09] Speaker 3: limo you over to your fancy meal. I'd like to
[20:12] Speaker 3: propose a toast. to the continued relationship between our two countries.
[20:17] Speaker 3: May it prosper forever. And everybody claps and you sit
[20:19] Speaker 3: down and you eat your fancy meal and then you
[20:20] Speaker 3: go back to your fancy house. That's your job. Allegedly,
[20:24] Speaker 3: you have responsibilities for dealing with Americans who come to
[20:28] Speaker 3: the country. That's what your staff does. But that's, yeah,
[20:31] Speaker 3: staff manages that. I mean, if some incompetent old boob
[20:35] Speaker 3: gets appointed ambassador to Denmark because he donated a zillion
[20:40] Speaker 3: dollars to somebody's inauguration, the fate of Americans in Denmark
[20:44] Speaker 3: does not rise and fall on his competence. No, there's
[20:47] Speaker 3: professional staff that do this as a career. Of course,
[20:48] Speaker 3: if you need something with the ambassador to Greece, you
[20:51] Speaker 3: pay off her credit card. Is that how it works?
[20:53] Speaker 3: You grease her palm, exactly. So as she was preparing
[20:56] Speaker 3: for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece,
[20:59] Speaker 3: Kim Guilfoyle reached out to a Trump donor who had
[21:02] Speaker 3: been more than generous with an urgent request. She needed $ 100, 000.
[21:06] Speaker 3: She said she owed to American Express, but she needed
[21:09] Speaker 3: it in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.
[21:11] Speaker 3: It won't show up anywhere if you wire the money
[21:13] Speaker 3: to American Express, please. Sweet, what do you call them? Honey,
[21:19] Speaker 3: I need this. Honey, please, I need you to get
[21:21] Speaker 3: this done for me today. She texted Eric Dieters, former
[21:25] Speaker 3: congressional candidate in Kentucky, who was seeking her help in
[21:28] Speaker 3: getting the attention of the new Trump administration on some
[21:31] Speaker 3: personal tax and legal issues. What do we know about
[21:33] Speaker 3: this guy? Married, age, anything like that? Yeah, yeah, he
[21:36] Speaker 3: is married, actually. He's a business guy who, again, had
[21:38] Speaker 3: some tax and legal issues and was looking for Trump
[21:41] Speaker 3: to let him off the hook, like so many people do.
[21:44] Speaker 3: and Kim was trying to pass herself off as a
[21:46] Speaker 3: way to get to the inner circle. This guy also, interestingly,
[21:51] Speaker 3: he's a patriot, it would seem, and he has these events,
[21:56] Speaker 3: Up With America-type events, and in one of them, let
[21:59] Speaker 3: me click over here, I got way too much information
[22:01] Speaker 3: for a story of this non-importance. Are you kidding? It's
[22:06] Speaker 3: the crucial ambassador to Greece. Oh, my God. So he'd
[22:10] Speaker 3: previously paid Guilfoyle You know, that's a decent point. Speaking fees.
[22:14] Speaker 3: This will be my last interruption for at least a while.
[22:17] Speaker 3: That's a decent point you just made. If it weren't
[22:20] Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is a celebrity because of the Trump
[22:24] Speaker 3: family and Gavin and all that sort of stuff and
[22:27] Speaker 3: has been portrayed on Saturday Night Live. We barely even
[22:30] Speaker 3: know this story exists. Yeah, Gavin Newsom's sexy young ex-wife
[22:36] Speaker 3: back in the day, just in case you're unfamiliar. But
[22:39] Speaker 3: so anyway, Dieters, this guy had previously paid Guilfoyle a
[22:43] Speaker 3: bunch of money in speaking fees. He made a similar
[22:45] Speaker 3: $ 200, 000 payment to Donald Trump Jr. Wow. And $ 100, 000 to
[22:47] Speaker 3: Eric Trump. Wow. For alleged speaking fees. Speaking fees. God,
[22:56] Speaker 3: there's so much of this that goes on in all
[22:58] Speaker 3: levels of politics and has been for a very, very
[23:01] Speaker 3: long time. See, that's the thing. Well, go ahead. I
[23:05] Speaker 3: think the Biden administration, you know, Joe Biden and his family,
[23:10] Speaker 3: they put the gas pedal to the floor on this
[23:12] Speaker 3: sort of stuff. And then the Trump family said, you know,
[23:15] Speaker 3: hold my Diet Coke and took it even farther. I mean,
[23:19] Speaker 3: it's just completely out of hand. Yeah, it's just wildly,
[23:23] Speaker 3: wildly out of hand because access is so important. But, yeah,
[23:28] Speaker 3: they're absolutely making the Biden family look like the amateurs
[23:33] Speaker 3: they were. So the fact that Kim Guilfoyle's begging some
[23:37] Speaker 3: sugar daddy who says, no, it would cost me my marriage,
[23:39] Speaker 3: I can't do that, and now it's a scandal. Oh,
[23:42] Speaker 3: there's one more story that's kind of interesting. You call
[23:44] Speaker 3: some guy honey who's going to pay off your credit card?
[23:46] Speaker 3: It's not a good look. No, no. So apparently she
[23:50] Speaker 3: was at the big Davos conference. Of course she was.
[23:54] Speaker 3: The rich and famous go-to. And evidently she was just,
[24:00] Speaker 3: she was absolutely flapping her ample lips about how connected
[24:05] Speaker 3: she was with Greek businessmen. She was, she was, let's see.
[24:11] Speaker 3: She was flexing her connections to wealthy Greek businessmen in
[24:13] Speaker 3: January as she made the urgent request to the guy
[24:19] Speaker 3: for money. You know, I can deliver the world to you,
[24:21] Speaker 3: which you deserve. I'm going to make you a lot
[24:23] Speaker 3: of effing money, she said in another point in an
[24:27] Speaker 3: exchange with a businessman. Is it the same businessman? Oh, no. Yeah,
[24:33] Speaker 3: different guy. She was being blocked from attending an upcoming
[24:36] Speaker 3: dinner being held for Eric Trump in Greece. and was
[24:42] Speaker 3: begging this American businessman for help getting into the dinner
[24:46] Speaker 3: with her former soon-to-be brother-in-law because she was being snubbed,
[24:51] Speaker 3: and she promised him, I'm going to make you a
[24:53] Speaker 3: lot of effing money. I can deliver the world to you,
[24:55] Speaker 3: which you deserve. She expressed fury at not being on
[24:59] Speaker 3: the list for the dinner, which was all taped somehow
[25:02] Speaker 3: or other. Oh, it was organized by Greek House Davos.
[25:08] Speaker 3: You don't have the effing U.S., you know, ambassador to Greece.com.
[25:11] Speaker 3: You should be kissing my effing ass, she said to
[25:14] Speaker 3: the events organizer. Wow. In the end, she was able
[25:19] Speaker 3: to score a last-minute seat. Various people made mumbling. There
[25:22] Speaker 3: was a small crisis, confusion, miscommunication. So anyway, so at Davos...
[25:31] Speaker 3: She was bragging about how she was flying that month
[25:34] Speaker 3: to Paris on a jet with Greek shipping tycoon Nicholas
[25:38] Speaker 3: Tsakos to attend his wife's fashion show. They had spent
[25:42] Speaker 3: part of the holiday season together already in the ultra-luxury
[25:45] Speaker 3: Swiss resort of Gstaad. I wonder how often there are
[25:49] Speaker 3: flirtation and hints of possible, let's call it romance, or
[25:53] Speaker 3: how often there actually is a let's call it romance.
[26:00] Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know either, but if you're
[26:03] Speaker 3: calling somebody honey and asking for them to pay off
[26:06] Speaker 3: your credit card, I feel like you're hinting towards something. Yeah.
[26:09] Speaker 3: At the very least. Though time and gravity have had
[26:11] Speaker 3: some effect on her as they do us all. Are
[26:14] Speaker 3: we getting back to her face? Here's a picture of
[26:15] Speaker 3: her in a little cocktail dress, and she is still
[26:19] Speaker 3: a sexpot material. But wait, wait, she said of this Nikos,
[26:24] Speaker 3: the Greek shipping guy, I see Nikos every effing day.
[26:27] Speaker 3: I'm flying with him to Paris. I'm with him for
[26:29] Speaker 3: an effing week. He loves me. Honey, I spent Christmas
[26:32] Speaker 3: with him. New Year's, okay, Gestad, like everywhere. Yeah, okay.
[26:37] Speaker 3: There's another magnate that she has similar questions. So your
[26:39] Speaker 3: talent is being hot and hinting at romance. That's my guess.
[26:44] Speaker 3: Maybe that is me. Showing a little boobie. Maybe some
[26:47] Speaker 3: of you are big fans of her and think I'm
[26:49] Speaker 3: being mean. So she's 57 years old. There are a
[26:52] Speaker 3: number of websites in which plastic surgeons take guesses as
[26:55] Speaker 3: to what she's had done over the last 25 years
[26:57] Speaker 3: with before and after pictures. Most experts believe she's had
[27:01] Speaker 3: a facelift or mini facelift, Botox, cheek fillers, lip fillers,
[27:05] Speaker 3: eyelid surgery, a brow lift, and possible rhinoplasty in the
[27:09] Speaker 3: last 20 years. So just a little nip and tuck. Yeah,
[27:13] Speaker 3: that's it. But that's it. Shoot, I had a 30-year-old
[27:18] Speaker 3: Honda Accord that had less work than that. Wow, wow. Yeah,
[27:25] Speaker 3: all the fillers and stuff. I don't think to look
[27:27] Speaker 3: for fillers. She's always had enormous lips, mouth, but yeah,
[27:33] Speaker 3: it is ridiculously flashy. I think we've crossed a line.
[27:37] Speaker 3: How so? I don't know. I just felt it as
[27:40] Speaker 3: I was going by it. You felt cheap and denigrating
[27:43] Speaker 3: an older woman's looks? Sometimes I only feel it in
[27:45] Speaker 3: retrospect and wish I had felt it at the time.
[27:47] Speaker 3: But I felt now that we crossed a line in
[27:50] Speaker 3: terms of commenting on someone's appearance. Let the record show
[27:53] Speaker 3: I was in favor of discussing ambassadorships and foreign policy
[27:56] Speaker 3: and the nexus between access and wealth and the rest
[27:59] Speaker 3: of it. You went there. I feel like it means
[28:03] Speaker 3: something about your personality, though. Now you're trying to justify it.
[28:07] Speaker 3: You're in a hole. Stop digging. That's what I'm saying. Yes, Katie.
[28:10] Speaker 3: They're all grifters. Everybody's a grifter. The government is a grift.
[28:12] Speaker 3: That's what the founding fathers wanted. Limited government. Very, very small,
[28:15] Speaker 3: limited government. There are trillions of dollars kicking around. We
[28:18] Speaker 3: have let our country be bought by the big government crowd.
[28:22] Speaker 3: God help us. Madison, who wore lifts in his shoes. Yes, Katie.
[28:26] Speaker 2: I'm with you, Jack. I think it says something about
[28:27] Speaker 2: the personality.
[28:30] Speaker 3: What it says is, I'm a sexpot. I'm a gold-digging sexpot.
[28:34] Speaker 3: That's my career. If she was a pitcher, she'd get
[28:37] Speaker 3: Tommy John surgery. She's getting the surgery to keep playing
[28:41] Speaker 3: her sport. I can push back against my own narrative, though.
[28:45] Speaker 3: That shows you're open-mindedness is very, very admirable. With the
[28:48] Speaker 3: example of Dolly Parton, who, as we all know, was
[28:50] Speaker 3: beloved by everyone. And she had tons of surgery and
[28:53] Speaker 3: seemed to be as giving and nice a person as
[28:55] Speaker 3: you're ever going to come across in your life. There
[28:58] Speaker 3: you go. I think we've all learned something. Okay. We've
[29:06] Speaker 3: got Mailbag coming up in a little bit. Go ahead.
[29:10] Speaker 3: I was just going to say, Wall Street Journal's got
[29:11] Speaker 3: a heck of an article about Iran and what they're
[29:14] Speaker 3: up to right now. And if they're accurate, it ain't good.
[29:17] Speaker 3: I was just going to say, you probably haven't vacationed
[29:21] Speaker 3: at Gestad with Nikos. You're a hardworking American, an entrepreneur,
[29:25] Speaker 3: a farmer. Blue Collar Dollar could be great folks for you.
[29:29] Speaker 3: It is real down-to-earth, normal people, financial planning for your
[29:34] Speaker 3: future and your retirement if that day ever comes. Yeah,
[29:37] Speaker 3: that's a good point. Blue-collar dollar is for the exact
[29:40] Speaker 3: opposite of the kind of people Joe was just describing
[29:42] Speaker 3: in the dinners and the clothes and the way they
[29:44] Speaker 3: talk and all that sort of stuff. You can get

[30:25] Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty.
[30:29] Speaker 3: Yeah, Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal, is really
[30:31] Speaker 3: gearing up for being attacked or going on the offensive.
[30:36] Speaker 3: It looks like they're ready to continue the war while
[30:39] Speaker 3: Trump's going around doing campaign speeches saying the war is
[30:41] Speaker 3: nearly over. But, you know, we all know what that's
[30:44] Speaker 3: all about. Here's your freedom-loving quote of the day. Continuing
[30:47] Speaker 3: our theme of progress is from George Orwell. Progress is
[30:50] Speaker 3: not an illusion. It happens. But it is slow and
[30:53] Speaker 3: invariably disappointing. Oh, that is so good. Mailbag. Outstanding mailbag today.
[31:02] Speaker 3: I'm glad we have a little bit of time. First
[31:06] Speaker 3: of all, Just Steve writes, When the movie Idiocracy came
[31:10] Speaker 3: out in 2006, I found it amusing, but most of
[31:13] Speaker 3: the jokes did not land well for me. As the
[31:15] Speaker 3: writer-director Mike Judge envisioned a world I did not yet recognize.
[31:18] Speaker 3: I watched the movie last year when it was on Netflix,
[31:20] Speaker 3: and I was laughing throughout as I had real-life experience
[31:23] Speaker 3: of exactly what I was watching on this prophetic movie. Yeah, absolutely.
[31:27] Speaker 3: It's the greatest example of comedy turned documentary in the
[31:30] Speaker 3: history of filmmaking. Fast forward to this week. I spent
[31:33] Speaker 3: some time scrolling past the story that Kelly Clarkson was
[31:36] Speaker 3: internet shaming a small boutique for not treating her with
[31:39] Speaker 3: the appropriate level of deference in line with her celebrity status.
[31:42] Speaker 3: And the store's response, and Clarkson's response, and the store's response,
[31:46] Speaker 3: and now I'm going to feed all of my plants
[31:48] Speaker 3: Brondo instead of water. Are we better than this? No,
[31:52] Speaker 3: we are not. I know. Last night, ABC Evening News,
[31:54] Speaker 3: the most watched newscast in America, led with that actress
[31:59] Speaker 3: that went nuts on the plane and then Kelly Clarkson.
[32:03] Speaker 3: Feed your plants, Brondo. Yeah, go ahead. What was the slogan? Electrolytes.
[32:08] Speaker 3: That's right. Barry from Thailand here. Jack, you mentioned yesterday
[32:15] Speaker 3: that you were insulted by a cashier or your son
[32:17] Speaker 3: was or that sort of thing. Both of us. Yeah. Yeah.
[32:21] Speaker 3: Barry says, my insult from cashier came from many years ago.
[32:25] Speaker 3: I purchased a pint of ice cream and the cashier said,
[32:27] Speaker 3: you know, that's fattening. I was over 200 pounds back then.
[32:30] Speaker 3: Instead of getting angry, I replied, only if you eat it.
[32:34] Speaker 3: I don't. She said, what do you do with it?
[32:36] Speaker 3: I said, I let it thaw, then rub it between
[32:38] Speaker 3: my legs. I've never seen a woman turn a brighter
[32:41] Speaker 3: shade of red. Oh, Barry. I love that story. I
[32:46] Speaker 3: hope it's true. Let's see. Oh, on our topic of
[32:52] Speaker 3: how they've had to dumb down movies now because everybody's
[32:56] Speaker 3: flipping through their phone or whatever. So you have to
[32:58] Speaker 3: continually re-explain what's happening in the script. Honest to God.
[33:03] Speaker 3: Netflix tells people who put together shows, you need to
[33:06] Speaker 3: have the character every few minutes restate what they're doing,
[33:09] Speaker 3: why they're doing it, because people are looking at other
[33:12] Speaker 3: screens and stuff, which is okay. And then we joked
[33:16] Speaker 3: about certain perhaps romantic partners who are fond of saying,
[33:20] Speaker 3: why did he do that? And I like to say,
[33:24] Speaker 3: wondering is part of the entertainment here. We're trying to
[33:27] Speaker 3: figure that out, right? Well, Robert says, from this point forward,
[33:31] Speaker 3: when asked what's going on in a movie, I'll start
[33:33] Speaker 3: making crap up. Why did she do that? It's to
[33:36] Speaker 3: draw attention away from her mother's hidden mummified corpse. May
[33:39] Speaker 3: as well make it fun. I'd like to see the
[33:45] Speaker 3: spirit of that. All right, one serious one. I'm surprised
[33:48] Speaker 3: at you guys, writes Gary. You two are usually better
[33:51] Speaker 3: at analyzing what's going on. Why is it Iran? What
[33:55] Speaker 3: is it Iran and the Houthis are doing? This is
[33:58] Speaker 3: about Trump's wanting to buy diesel from Russia, which may
[34:02] Speaker 3: not even be legal, possible. But anyway, what is it
[34:06] Speaker 3: Iran and the Houthis are doing? Not winning at guns
[34:08] Speaker 3: and bombs where they can't. They're destroying refining capacity, holding
[34:11] Speaker 3: out and angering the big world, hoping the angry proles
[34:14] Speaker 3: will vote for more Obamas and Bidens to stop the pain.
[34:17] Speaker 3: Trump is not supporting Putin directly. He's getting diesel to market,
[34:20] Speaker 3: which messes with the enemy's plans. which directionally, Gary, would
[34:25] Speaker 3: be okay, except it's such a tiny, tiny, insignificant amount
[34:30] Speaker 3: of diesel fuel. I mean, it's not significant enough to
[34:34] Speaker 3: bump the price much. Trump has tried to be seen
[34:37] Speaker 3: by the farmers and Midwest voters, especially in truckers and all,
[34:40] Speaker 3: as trying to do something. It's politics. Let's see. Sergio,
[34:47] Speaker 3: good morning, folks. On the topic of the high-speed rail,
[34:50] Speaker 3: which came up, as it often does, in Calunicornia, you
[34:53] Speaker 3: forgot to mention its new projected finish date is sometime
[34:56] Speaker 3: in 2040. Sergio, who's a correspondent about his experience in
[35:01] Speaker 3: prison before, says, I went to prison for almost seven
[35:03] Speaker 3: years for possession of a stolen vehicle. Justice for all
[35:07] Speaker 3: who can afford it. Wow. Dude, you know, there's a
[35:10] Speaker 3: line in a Bob Dylan song, still little and they
[35:12] Speaker 3: throw you in jail still a lot and they make
[35:13] Speaker 3: you king. or a governor. That's interesting. I was talking
[35:16] Speaker 3: to a dude yesterday who, when he was young, he
[35:19] Speaker 3: spent some time in jail as the accessory to a crime.
[35:23] Speaker 3: He didn't steal it, but he was driving the car
[35:25] Speaker 3: with the guy, whatever, one of those kind of things.
[35:27] Speaker 3: And he got these people working for the high-speed rail
[35:31] Speaker 3: who are absolutely damned thieves on a higher level than
[35:35] Speaker 3: any of us can imagine, and they get to live
[35:37] Speaker 3: the rest of their lives like that. You laugh. I laugh.
[35:41] Speaker 3: They'll retire to wealth and comfort. Yep, yep. Uh, if
