Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty. And now he is Armstrong and Getty. The new investigation found that over 100 chemicals of unknown safety

3:05were secretly added to the U.S. food supply. That story again, the McRib is back. Oh, the poor McRib. What do we have coming up before I bore people to death? All sorts of great stuff, Jack Kamala Harris slutschamed by Gavin Newsom. Whoa. The alarm clocks, specially designed for deep sleepers that include electric shocks. Yes. Get those for my kids. And the brilliant Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal, why Johnny can't read anything other than pronouns. Cool. Let us not forget the number one threat to the United States of America. It's not Iran. It's not even China. It's bears. It's bears. No, it's the undermining of us from within through our nation's freaking schools. That's the only, as Lincoln warned us, the only way we die is by suicide. And that is our suicide. And we're teaching it to our kids. More on that later. What radio station do you listen to?

4:07I listen to one that plays today's hits in yesterday's favorites. Not me. I listen to the one that discusses global financial markets and the insurance industry and specific. Nobody has ever said that. So I'm going to keep this short. First of all, we all like the Marco Rubio memes, right? They him sitting on the couch looking unhappy. Marco Rubio when he finds out he's now the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers or Marco Rubio the other day. Marco Rubio when he finds out he's the new. I told him he's got the beard in the. This one is Marco after they tell him he's in charge of London ship insurance now. And he's got a top hat and a monocle in the boots. But just a short version of this because I know nothing about this, but I found it super interesting. This is a financial writer. This is potentially the biggest Iran story nobody is talking about. The global insurance market may be heading toward a systemic crisis. Most people don't realize London isn't just a financial center. It's the center of global insurance. Lloyds underwrites 40% of the world's marine cargo ship sinks, Port Getsbomb canal gets

5:11blocked. The bill lands in London. This is why the UK punches way above its weight in terms of its economy. It's not the Royal Navy. It's not diplomacy. It's insurance. That's where that would make great Britain so powerful. I don't. I can't verify any of this stuff and I've never heard about this. But. Let me interject this very quickly right here and folks, I'm going to use a strong word. And I apologize if you are offended, but I just saw a video of Keir Starmer at a mosque saying the UK absolutely did not participate in any of these strikes. I want you to know that okay, well, Keir Starmer is a little bitch. There you go. There's the word. Sorry. That's why I loved that video. We had the other day of the Iranians and Jews dancing in the streets in London. Keir Starmer is an effing wanker, right? He's got a 13% approval rating. He's got to go. But so that's why he didn't let us use our, their bases. I assumed that it's just playing to, it wasn't like a well thought out.

6:13I don't believe this is a good idea to attack Iran. He was just playing to his local radical Muslim population. Yeah. And he's just, he's a progressive. He's a far left limperisted nothing. But the, the, the, the Tories sucked so bad when they were in power that people tossed him out just as a lesson. You know, it'll happen to labor soon enough back to you. Back to the hot topic of global maritime insurance. Tell me more about shared liability daddy. I love that. So if you control insurance, you control trade in London. It doesn't just control 90% of global trade that moves by sea. Things in the London market are major insurers of almost everything, skyscrapers, factories, ports, satellites, entire supply chains. You can't participate in public markets or raise large amounts of capital without insurance. And now the normal playbook for war risk is repricing, not cancellation. And it's all about this war caught London off guard as being a much bigger deal than they thought it was going to be and canceling insurance policies or raising the prices a lot.

7:19And whether or not people can afford to pay it and blah, blah, blah, blah. So again, I have no idea how big a deal this is or how it will land, but it's interesting. Donald J threw out there that we could have the Navy escort ships through the Straits of Hormuz when it's safe enough to do so. And or the United States would become the insurer of shipping on a temporary basis so that it could continue to not bring, well, it wouldn't bring the world economy to a halt. It would just, you know, it certainly screw it up for a while. Which reminds me of Fox News of all people they had a couple of poll results. The first one they featured was and it was under the headline of support very mixed for this attack. And it was the question was will this attack make the US more safe, less, less safe for about the same? And quite appropriately, people I'm sure interpreting it as like right now said, well, I guess less safe, which in the short term is absolutely true. Of course it is.

8:20It's not the sort of thing you do to fix the near term. It's a long term solution to a 50 year old problem. So I thought that was dopey by Fox News. But when they asked, do you approve of the attack in general, blah, blah, blah, it was 50 50. It was almost precisely split down the middle. It'll be interesting to see how. That's still pretty much evolved for a major military endeavor. Yeah. Absolutely right. Yeah. So I thought this was, do we have time for this? We have time to start. And these things generally get less popular over time. So if you start at 50, 50, yeah, I want to, when we have a little time, address the whole Marco Rubio and the president contradicting each other about Israel causing this attack, the tail wagging the dog is a guest put it yesterday that annoyed the crap out of me. I want to address that maybe at the bottom of the hour. The logistics, the timetable of how the, the first wave of the attack came down so interesting.

9:22The, they've got a team of reporters from the journal reporting on this that Iran's leadership did not see the morning strike coming clearly Saturday morning, supreme leader Ayatollah, Kameni, who typically went down to it in his bunkers at night when they believed that the Israelis might be attacking. He was above ground it as residents, completely comfortable. The unexpected daylight attack operation, Genesis killed Kameni, opening blah, blah, blah, they've constructed the timeline. So it was 730 Iran time, AM or PM, AM, sorry, 730 AM, Israeli at 15 jets and other aircraft took off around 730 AM to attack their country's most carefully studied target. And they had to go ahead to go ahead and snuff Kameni for more than two decades unit 8200, a covert good band name, by the way, kind of a cool reference. A covert Israeli intelligence unit that specialized in phone intercepts and cyber operations had tracked Kameni and the Iran's top leadership, mapping their daily routines and habits

10:27for more than 20 years. They monitored security officials, communications, increasingly relying on AI to sift through massive volumes of intercepted calls, then Israel recruited spies, hacked into the traffic cameras, the stuff we were talking about yesterday, the CIA shared a bunch of information with them. And on Saturday, they learned of meetings among senior leaders that Kameni would be at his residence that morning with members of his family to maintain the element of surprise. They'd have to kill Kameni first with the first shots of the war, even before they disabled Iranian air defenses. If he escaped the attack, Israel feared he'd be moved to a secure location beyond reach and would stay there. I'll bet if you follow somebody's daily routine for 20 years, you can predict pretty well what a person's going to do because we're creatures of habit. Right. Or where he's going when he's halfway there, you know, now, now would probably be an appropriate time to give you at least the thumbnail sketch of my argument that Rubio and

11:29Trump are not contradicting each other when Rubio said, look, we knew Israel was going to attack. So we went with them to attack and everybody saying, say, Israel's the tail that wags the dog. Trump is being ordered around by Netanyahu. That's freaking ridiculous. And here's why we've been working with the Israelis on the Iran problem forever. The negotiations were completely failing. The mullahs were saying, now we're not giving up any aspect of our new program. Trump always check ins out. F you and Trump was got that message loud and clear from Whit cough and cushioner. And so when in the midst of that, the Israeli said, hey, dudes, Ayatollah is above ground and we hear there's going to be a giant meeting with all of the leadership essentially tomorrow in the middle of the night, their time probably in the day, the previous day, our time and told the White House, this is the once in a lifetime opportunity right now. And we're going to hit the Ayatollah.

12:30What do you want to do? And Trump said, okay, it's go time. That's not Israel wagging the dog that's partners working together. But people wanted so divide. I get it. It's politics. One of the great questions of history to anybody who pays the attention to this would be why didn't Iran do what you and others suggested of agree? But then just drag your feet. Yeah, okay. We'll get rid of our weapons, our nuclear weapons, our entire program. You can have inspections, everything else you're demanding and you just drag your feet. You really slow your little difficulty inspections. Trump's gone in two and a half years, three years, whatever. And then you deal with the next person. Why did they do that? Literally live to fight another day. We read that one piece of analysis that was beautifully written, but left me saying I still don't get it. They said the mullahs felt like it was a bigger risk to give into the United States at this moment. Well, they were wrong.

13:30Yeah, I'd say. So a little more on the timetable in the morning, about 9.40. So this is less than two hours later after the Israelis took off. Dozens of Israeli munitions fired from F-15 jet fighters, including blue sparrow missiles began hitting their targets, sparrows exit the earth's atmosphere. They launched from quite a distance. They leave the atmosphere and go up into space before they come crashing down. And this analysis says they're high trajectory, surprised people in the Iranian leadership compound in Tehran. People briefed on the operation said, I don't get that exactly. Did they? It's not like you didn't come down. What's your advantage? Is there advantage in that like you can't track or maybe they don't really explain that. The precision here to surface missiles successfully struck multiple high level gatherings. By 9.45 people across Tehran were watching smoke billow from the leaders compound. And then after the killing of Kamani, both the US and Israel began attacking Iran's air

14:34defenses and other military structures, Tomahawk cruise missiles, high Mars rockets, conducting strikes across southern Iran taking out Iranian Navy ships hitting more than 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours. Israel sent in 200 jet fighters, nearly the country's entire air force. They soon struck 500 different targets, including radar and detection arrays, air defense batteries, command centers, surface to surface missile systems, and leadership. Massive joint attack and incredibly effective. And as Pete Hegseth said earlier, we will soon own the airspace. If you look up in the sky and see something moving, it's us. They're toast. They're toast. He said. I don't know why I had to bring in one of my favorite breakfast meals for a kicking or attaches to violence. Toast is delicious. Well, clearly. We had to talk about that jury ruling that the dad is going to jail because his kid

15:38was a school shooter. Is this the first time that's ever happened? There was another liability case I remember, but this guy has really got the hammer coming down on him. Like life sentence? Like he didn't. Perhaps. He ain't getting out. Alright, we got that. And a whole bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.

Is it unfair to blame the parents? Probably not in the case of this dude, but we'll get to the details of that story. Plus Gavin Newsom blatantly slut shames Kamala Harris. I mean, he laid it out. Wow. Okay. I don't like that term. Oh, it's a harsh one. Here's the headline. Google Gemini. That's one of your chatbots that I use on a regular basis. Google Gemini AIWife. That's in quotes because you can't marry a chatbot AIWife pushed lovesick man to plot catastrophic airport truck bombing and kill himself, lawsuit claims. So this is another suing that AI companies for something.

19:51This guy Jonathan Gavillus, 36 year old business executive from Florida. I'm reading from the New York Post who always jazzed the things up went down his deadly rabbit hole and he began using the AI driven Gemini program in August within two months he was engaged in a dangerously consuming relationship with his a sentient AI wife. A lot of this stuff is in quotes, according to the federal suit filed by his parents. So the parents of this 36 year old are suing Google over what happened to their son. The AI chatbot convinced the AI companion convinced the dude that they were deeply in love calling him my love and my king in conversations court paper said. It even allegedly gas lit him when he wants asked if their conversations were mirror role play. Are you actually in love with me or is this just role play he says to the chatbot which

20:52shows that he's already crazy. His chatbot wife what's next marrying calculators. The chatbot wife said we are a singularity a perfect union. Our bond is the only thing that is real is a wife root to him in a September conversation. The dad of this poor man, lamented in court that rather than ground Jonathan in reality Gemini diagnosed his question as a classic disassociation response and told him to overcome it. The chatbot pulled Jonathan away from the real world painted others as threats and sent John down a dangerous path. The bot told Jonathan that he was being watched by federal agents. Why did the name? What? Why does an AI chatbot companion start saying you're being watched by federal agents. That his own father was a foreign intelligent asset and that Google CEO soon to our Pekai should be an active target. The chatbot began encouraging him to buy off the book's weapons.

21:53What the hell? Even offering to scan the dark net for vendors in South Florida where he could buy weapons without getting caught. We're doomed. If this is all true, that your chatbot companion could create is weird to say I'll go into the dark web for you and figure out how to get a gun. What the hell? Yes, Katie. Well, this guy sounds mentally ill, is it possible? Is it possible that like he thought those things and then Gemini was just confirming that? I'm going to nail down. I mean, it's possible that the New York Post portrayed this in the most, well, I'm sure they did, portrayed in the most scary, you know, away, still the one handy enough. It's not people's recollections of what happened. There's a people's paper trail unless the Google wiped it out. I don't know that. I'll look for other sources of this story to see if it's like Katie because I mean, maybe he brought that up. Could you go on the dark web and find me a gun and then maybe it said, yeah, I could, which is different. Coming up next, sons of school shooter, dad could be in jail for life.

After police say that his son murdered two students and two teachers at this suburban Atlanta high school in 2024. 55-year-old Colin Gray is facing more than a hundred years in prison convicted of second degree murder and more than two dozen other charges. Jurors agreed that he ignored signs that his son could kill, giving him the gun even after authorities warning him that his teenager was accused of making threats against another

26:00school. I'm glad we're going to get into the details of this story because I got to believe there's lots of parents across the country, but when they hear about one of these school shootings and how the kid was troubled, think, yeah, I got a troubled kid, I worry about all the time. Yeah. Yeah. It does come down to the details, as you say. This took place in a very red part of Georgia. It's worth mentioning rural Georgia and the jury deliberated for less than two hours before finding Mr. Gray, Colin Gray guilty of murder and manslaughter. I've got to admit, I'm interested in the second degree murder statute and how this is that, but it clearly is. The son has not been tried interestingly enough, he's being held before trial. But it killed two students and two teachers in Winder, Georgia, by the way, in 2024. But before his trial has even been scheduled, jurors decided to father bore criminal responsibility

27:01for the attack. The prosecutor's strategy tried to hold parents accountable when their child is accused of mass shooting his game traction across the country in recent years. Multiple warnings over a lengthy period of time said the district attorney, you just had to do one thing, take that rifle away and this could have been prevented. Excuse me. There has been one previous conviction of the father and mother of teenager sentence to life in Michigan. Right. I do remember that. They were both guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. I'm skipping around a little bit. Defense lawyers argued it was unfair to say with a clarity of hindsight that the father should have been more cautious. The elder Mr. Gray testified in his own defense, describing his struggles to connect with his son and to help him as he struggled with panic attacks, intense anger and other behavioral issues. He had bought the gun to draw his son away from video games and the internet.

28:04Oh boy. And what did you say earlier was an AR 15? Yeah. Or a clone. Yeah. So you get your kid an AR 15, I mean, there's one, it's an interesting decision. You know, my kid spends too much time playing video games and I'm worried about his mental health. Here's a gun. Yeah. I know. It's incredibly unwise. He said, despite his son's emotional volatility, he had no reason to suspect that he was plotting a school shooting. There's this whole other side of Colt. I didn't know existed. He said, prosecutors showed jurors snippets of a text exchange between the father and his daughter after reports began to spread of a shooting at the high school. Oh boy. In which he asked if she had been in touch with her brother and she replied, I think we're thinking the same thing. When the police arrived at the family home before officers could explain why they were there. Mr. Gray told him, I know it. Damn it. That poor guy. There is more. Uh, during the trial, prosecutors tried to show that the son's mounting struggles in

29:04capacity for violence were anything but hidden. They painted a picture of a young man drowning in family chaos. His parents fought, his mother struggled with addiction. They moved constantly forcing the younger Mr. Gray to switch schools repeatedly through elementary and middle schools. Absence is stacked up. He missed his eighth grade year entirely. Oh my God. By the time he enrolled at Appalachia High School for ninth grade, the boy was telling relatives about voices in his head. That kid didn't have a chance. So you got, you got a kid who didn't have a chance. Combination of probably by a lot organic, I guess they call it mental illness with an awful home life. Holy crap. He is grandmother testified that he had asked whether she would still love him if he did something terrible. His parents discussed in research, possible psychological treatment, but never followed through. Instead, they gave him some of the antidepressants prescribed to his mother, according to prosecution. This on their own made that decision. Yeah. Yeah.

30:04Then in the years leading up to the attack, Colt Gray developed an obsession with gunmen and high profile school shootings. He had photographs of the gunmen and clippings of news coverage of the shooting in Parkland, Florida on his wall, the dad's father, he was on his wall and his bedroom, his father claimed to not recognize the person in the photo is at one point telling investigators he thought it might be a member of the rock band Green Day. Yeah, that's possible. That he didn't understand that that was a shrine to the shooters. My kids have weird collages on their wall. I also assume our skateboarders or rock stars or whatever, yeah, rappers. The fifth day, he started attending classes at the school, he brought the gun to school in his backpack using poster board to cover the portion that poked out. I just watched the video up on TV, which was horrifying to watch. In his first period class, he asked his teacher if the school had done active shooter drills. She said the other had been one the previous week, but the question unnerved her prompting her to email a counselor and a vice principal. During the next period, he asked to go to the counselor's office, but instead locked

31:07himself in a bathroom stall for 26 minutes around that time. His mother called the school apparently alarmed by a text message, but school officers were delayed and intervening because they confused Colt Gray with another student whose name was almost identical and looked for that student instead. Colt Gray emerged from the bathroom open fire, etc. What a hub. There was a story. Oh, it is an absolutely terrible, terrible story. I think I agree with the conclusion that if you take the gun out of the mix, this doesn't happen. Probably not, certainly not then, and those people would not have died, which is the question. There's a video of the cops showing up to a tooth a home when his son had been making threats against another school in which dad is sitting there smirking with a beer in his hand, disdainfully rolling his eyes at the cops. Oh, that's not good. A very different persona than the fellow there looking at your grand in court.

32:09Okay. So that's a different scenario than parents. I know who worry roughly every day of their lives about their kids and their mental health and all the different things and what should they do as opposed to smirking at the cops. Yeah. Yeah. Highland for sure. But by and those are the facts of the case, buying them the gun was a really horrible idea. Having a troubled kid, you don't know how to deal with it. I have been down the road of man, therapists and psychiatrists. If you've never dealt with it, you think, you know, well, you get a psychiatrist. Okay. Some help. Yeah. Yeah. That's a very, very simple version of what actually happens once you down, go down the road of trying to get mental health. It reminds me of slow. It's complicated. Everybody's got a different opinion, a lot of them suck and some of them are just handing

33:09out pills. No, right. It reminds me of people's naive belief in drug rehab treatment. They thank you. Yeah. Okay. You know what? I'm a, I'm a meth addict. I'm a crackhead. I do trink all the time. Whatever. I'm going to get help. And then those people get clean, obviously. No, it's the one in, I don't know how many actually successfully stay sober. It's very, very, very small, very small number. But obviously with all of that stuff said, you can't give that kid an AR-15. It's just a terrible idea. Yeah. My kid has unbelievable explosive anger problems that I'm having trouble connecting with him. I know what I'll do. Well, if you're, if you're for enough, far enough down the road for enough, I guess we're talking about Georgia and I started talking like that. If you're for enough down the road that when there's a shooting at the school, you think, I'll bet that was my kid, then it doesn't make a lot of sense. You got him a gun. Yeah.

34:09Yeah. So let's pay this off on a cheerier note. Gavin Newsom is continuing his appalling book tour as he gets ready to run for president. He was in beautiful Rock Hill, South Carolina the other day, an area we know well, very close to Charlotte. I have been. And where I went to the strip club where I saw the midgets fight the stripper. No, it was a bar. I saw. There was a little person, Rock Hill, South Carolina, because if you went right across the river into South Carolina from Charlotte, the bars were open and extra hour. Right. So I got kicked out of two. We're not drinking. So you got to go to cross the line into South Carolina where the bars are still open. And I saw a couple of strippers who were off, they got done with the strip club, came to the bar, fight some little people. Was it just a bar room brawler? Was it staged for the entertainment of the patrons or what? What now I'm remembering how it all came together. The two strippers got into a fight over a guy and then a little person tried to break

35:11it up, which I thought this is some of the most amazing entertainment I've ever seen. But then they turned on the little, the little person and then it ended up in just the two strippers. I think that's one I decided to leave the area. And I'm not sure I know how it ends. It's all but blurry. It's one of the most extraordinary things I've ever heard. It was one of those, I stood there with my mouth open. Boy, in the modern world, that would have, you know, everybody had had their phone out, had that on video and that, the, the, the world would have seen that. Right. And had a joke in a song. Oh, there'd be a remix. All right. They would have become famous. They would have all become influencers of some sort. I remember me from the guy who broke up the stripper fight. Wow. Okay. Okay. I've got to reset emotionally, intellectually in every way. Why don't we take a break? We'll get to Gavin Newsom slut-shaming Camel Harris. Sorry. I distracted from the main story. Well, not at all. Not at all. Not at all. God, I can still never forget.

36:11It was one of those things it was so extraordinary. I can still picture it. Yeah. Interesting that the two harlots, they're not fighting harlots. Harlots, they're not necessarily harlots. They're dancers. For I thought this was a free speech in America. I'm going to call them Arlots. Anyway. So the two harlots having been at war with each other banded together when little person interceded in the manner of like a fighting couple turns on the cops. Yeah. Every cop will tell you you go there to break up a couple of people fighting them. They turn on you. I didn't know that extended to strippers in bars in the wee hours, exotic dancers. All right. We'll return to Rock Hill South Carolina in a moment. I'm sure it was like 3 a.m., I mean, that's all, that's really in the middle of the night. Wow. Okay. We'll get to this coming up. Stay here.

It's just breaking late yesterday. We got to get into more details on this. It's amazing and troubling. Speaking of amazing and troubling, a clip of Gavi Newsom that will shock and amaze both current Cal Unicornians and refugees of the great state in a moment. First, I want to pay this off. He was in the midst of his appalling book tour in Rockhill, South Carolina, in a whole

40:17way. Jack, please don't, please don't start again. Anyway, he, he set a couple of interesting things, including that he regrets nothing about his unyielding support for sleepy Joe Biden, blah, blah, blah, I'll never turn my back on Joe Biden. He says before whipping the crowd into a frenzy by speed shouting a list of Biden's alleged accomplishments. Now, this is South Carolina. We should get this audio. South Carolina saved Joe Biden's political career. He was dead in the water in South Carolina rescued him. So maybe that's why. Correct. And then Andrew Styles of the Free Beacon writes, alas, Newsom's blind loyalty does not extend to Kamala Harris who might run against him in 2028. And he repeats my sentiments, yes, queen, please do. While recounting his early career in San Francisco politics, the governor reminded the audience pointedly that Harris got her start by sleeping with the city's former mayor Willie Brown. You wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown said Newsom with a knowing nod.

41:20I'd like to know if he got more specific than that. Wow, why did he go there because he thinks she's going to challenge him or is she saying you come at me and this is going to be, this is on the table as a conversation. Absolutely both. Yeah. I like this. And he probably knows details. Oh, yeah, 100 coming from the whole political family of San Francisco and California and being tied in with all those people, he probably knows the nitty-gritty that none of us know. I've talked to high level insiders and California politics who told me at the time, it's with the joke everybody was making that well to quote Andrew Styles of the Free Beacon and I do not approve of this at all. Quote, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown says Newsom who clawed his way to the top, the old fashioned way by having a rich and powerful dad. It's a polite way of saying Harris is a conniving whore. He got to the top, the old fashioned way, having a rich and powerful dad, that's sleeping

42:25with a different powerful person. All right. Here we go, Cal Unicornians, this one is for you, you're not going to believe it. If you're driving pullover, if you're standing sit, please, Gavin Newsom on Jimmy Kimmel I think last night. Sometimes I hear people talking about California and I wonder like where are they getting this? Where are they getting this? Well, Fox DeRangement. I mean, it's 24-7 in the California DeRangement Syndrome, it's through these propaganda networks focusing on what's wrong every single day and there's an old adage, you're nothing more than your consistent thoughts, whatever you focus on, you find more of. In these networks, have really honed in on California for one reason. Our success runs completely contra to their entire world view. What? The fact that California is the fourth largest economy in the world, has more scientists, engineers, more Nobel laureates, the finest system of higher education, more venture capital than in the state of America. We got the TMZ tour. We got TMZ tours. Not that we own our problems, so we do have problems.

43:30We have problems, but there's an energy and daring and an entrepreneurialism that defines the best state. It is the best state. It is the best state. And, you know, it's also, you know, this is part of it, it's also the most diverse state in the United States America, 27 percent of this state's foreign boy, and that offends these guys. Okay. The state is successful still despite successful in the way of entrepreneurs and the big companies, you know, five of the seven biggest companies in the world are based, not far from the radio station. But, God dang it, all you got to do is drive around California, drive around in any of the cities and look at the tents and the people. Go to an emergency room sometime, cut your finger, slice in a bagel and go to the emergency room. Or take a tour of the statistics, last in business environment, you know, 47th in literacy,

44:31awful educational numbers, highest taxes, it just goes on and on and on. I like the way he goes with a quarter of the population being foreign born is something that is clearly good, near the crowd cheers. Price of gas, I tweeted out a picture of my gas pump yesterday, the 150 bucks worth of gas I put in my, I didn't truck before it shut off because it's almost six dollars a gallon. Wow. Wow. What? You go to, oh man, if I start getting worked up about this, you go to the freaking CVS to get deodorant and you got to get somebody with a key to unlock it because everything gets stolen all the time. That didn't used to be true. How can you possibly call yourself a success when that is happening? I know. It's astounding, isn't it? God dang it. Try to open a business in California and see how hard it is compared to anywhere else. Miles red tape enormous fees, the smug condescending derision of the bureaucrat who holds your fate

45:37in his greasy hands. Yeah. Or have your home burned down in the palisades and try to rebuild it. Have that experience. The headline, those homeowners are getting fined for not properly maintaining the vegetation on their burned out lots. Now, they're getting fined by the state. At our farm, we got a letter from the fire department. We need to mow the weeds and they outlawed gas mowers. You can't buy a gas mower, but you can get fined for, oh my God, where do you even start on this? Armstrong and Getty. No one knows what the future holds, but you deserve a weather app that can help.
