The innovation is incredible in AI and what is going on. Don't tell me that it's impossible for those innovators, those people who are brilliant at technology, to devise the ways to protect our children, and I think we should. There's Waste of Skin, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Great Britain talking about their social media bad for kids, which we're going to talk a little bit about here, but want to let you know this. Later this hour. We'll play a little of what Gavin Newsom had yesterday. I mean, he came out yesterday, angry and had a big standing in front of the flags with a tie on. Oh, wait, a tie? Presentation about how the Biden Justice Department, I'm sorry, the Trump Justice Department is going after him and trying to bring him down and investigating him and his wife. And he's very, very angry about it. And you can, you'll hear how you can come after me all you want. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. But don't you go after my wife? So we'll have that for you a little bit later in the hour and get into the, whether or not he's actually done anything. Also, the terrorist plot that has been foiled, thank God. There was, it looks like an attempt to kill, geez, could have been a lot of people at that UFC event at the White House over the weekend. To their credit, the Washington Post is on the story, and it's their second leading story after the cost of the Trump ballroom. But they are covering it and taking it seriously. Yeah, I just saw ABC's on it on television now, so it just took them while to get around to it. Boy, they are so uncomfortable, guaranteed with how clearly left-wingy. It was, to the extent that it was real and we don't know that. Is it left wing? It's the MAGA crowd mostly that believes the baby stuff. Oh my gosh, horseshoe theory. Yeah, that's right. The Wackadoodle. branch of MAGA, although they were talking about capitalists and people who take money from Israel, it could be anybody. Right. Well, just report it. How about you report it regardless of whoever's ideology is involved in the madness? And we label them dangerous crackpots regardless. Yeah, here, here. Okay, so they're going to try something in Great Britain. They believe that social media is bad for kids. We all believe that. As I've said multiple times, I get annoyed every time I hear. A new study says cell phones and schools are bad. Really? A new study says social media for kids staring at their phones is bad. Really. Anyway, so they quoted some studies there in Great Britain that this stuff is bad for our kids, which we all know, and they're going to try to actually ban it. Here's a little more of that information.
Britain joins a growing global list in banning social media for young people under the age of 16. Prime Minister Keir Starmer asking why the owners of social media companies won't pass their own restrictions. I do not accept, and I will never accept. that you can't be both pro-tech and AI, and at the same time, say, we must protect our children. While the tech companies argue such a blanket ban will drive kids into even more dangerous, unregulated parts of the internet, Keir Starmer disagrees, calling the ban a big moment for Britain. So, as I said earlier, what do you mean by social media? Well, the ban is expected to cover platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube? Twitter? YouTube, as a number of people point out, there's all kinds of stuff on YouTube that's got nothing to do with being social media. My son watches endless educational YouTube videos. Just endless stuff about paleontology and history and this and that. You're going to ban any kid under 16 from seeing YouTube? That's nuts. Without specific parental consent, I would guess. Because you have the YouTube shorts and you can absolutely doom scroll on YouTube, but I agree. It feels like a different case to me. Well, then we're getting back to the... case we had against, I guess it was Facebook in the United States. I saw it up on the TV, one of the things they were talking about, the endless scrolling. Okay, I don't get that. I don't get that. I don't understand how endless scrolling is any different than at the end of the NFL game on a Sunday afternoon. They say, coming up next, we've got the Giants and the Patriots. Oh, no, they just introduced another thing I like, and now I'm going to sit here and watch another game. What's the difference? I don't see a difference. You're just presenting a good product. You're going to ban that somehow for kids. Yeah, I'm troubled by all of this. I agree with the intent. Sure, of course. No, Keir Starmer is a waste of skin, as you pointed out. And in fact, I think his bones and internal organs could go to better uses as well. You know, I said it, but when you hear somebody else say it, it's pretty harsh to call someone a waste of skin. I love that expression because he is, he's a waste of everything that he is. I do like the national expression of recognizing how awful.
All of this tech stuff is for kids. In terms of how enforceable it'll be, like you've indicated, there are a lot of question marks here. I mean, the implication is that there's something more useful you could do with the skin than carrying around his liquids and bones. Oh, sure. Burn victims. Yeah. Folks disfigured in accidents. Yeah. Skin Keir Starmer today. That's what I say. The government of Great Britain says the goal is to address mental health concerns. I actually heard some decent pushback on NPR. For all we hear about the dangers of social media for young people, and it's absolutely true, there's lots and lots and lots of young people that aren't really being damaged by YouTube or a couple of other things. It doesn't affect everyone. But it does make everyone suicidal and miserable. It's probably not good for anybody. But then you got to get into junk food and, you know, watching cartoons or anything else if it's just, you know. not great for me, as opposed to dangerous for me, if you're going to try to ban something. The government says the goal is to address mental health concerns, cyberbullying, grooming, and exposure to harmful content. Well, we'd all like that to not happen. According to consultation results cited by the government, roughly 90% of parents supported a minimum age of 16 for social media access. I would guess, though, that that was a very broad question in which I would probably say yes also. But then I'd also say, well, do you mean YouTube? Because YouTube, I'm not against YouTube in general. Right. Right, yeah. I think it may be an expression of whenever we're half-jokingly talking about unplugging the internet, internet. It's at a lot of wonderful advantages to modern life. But, you know, on the whole net, yeah, yeah, a negative. So this, I can't believe this did not get more attention. Jennifer Valentino DeVries writes about technology for the New York Times. And this came out a couple of weeks ago, and I've held on to it a week ago anyway. The headline of the story is teachers are going to hate it, how social media apps hooked teens at school. They came across a bunch of internal documents that showed that the tech giants knew precisely what they were doing, how they were trying to get kids to scroll at school. Snapchat sent phone alerts to adolescents during school hours, urging them to share what was going on in their classrooms specifically. Why are they looking at social media at school? What's going on in your classroom? Share it with your friends and contact.
Meta-paid teen ambassadors to promote Instagram and hand out swag to their friends at school. TikTok gave the national PTA millions of dollars in part to throw school events about online safety and provide favorable comments to journalists about TikTok. Again and again, the world's leading social media companies have targeted students at school, even as complaints amounted that they're hurting teenagers, mental health, and academic performance. Well, one way to deal with that would be you don't get to have your phone at school and the computer you have is not set up to have any of that stuff at school hours either. You shouldn't be spending any time during school hours on social media. TikTok leaders specifically looked at disabling notifications during school hours and rejected that. A Snapchat strategy document referred to classroom phone uses under the desk time and how we can maximize that. Google manager's new YouTube was recommending videos to students during the school day that had nothing to do with their lessons, et cetera, et cetera. More on this in a moment after a word from our friends at Incogni. You're getting spammed and scammed all day long, right? So are we.

I assume that we'll get to a place within a couple of years where the idea of having your smartphone at school or even having your computer available to look at this stuff. will be absolutely a no-go. Nope, won't be allowed any new schools. I think we'll get there. And those of us who had kids during this crazy era where they allow kids to sit in the classroom and scroll through TikTok will, you know, just be a bad luck for us, I guess. It's nuts. Yeah, boy, they're talking about one of the founders of Snapchat being really pleased to hear that kids are using Snapchat to pass notes in school. Great. instead of the old timey way. So they knew exactly what they're doing. Wouldn't we do that if you didn't have your phone in the classroom? What's the opposite of the benefit of the doubt? Whatever that is, give that to or wield that over all social media all the time. So the terrorist plot, we know what at least one guy thought because he has spoken to someone already today.
That's the terrorist plot against the UFC event that the FBI luckily stopped. Then we're going to get into the whole Gavin Newsom thing, too. Wait a little you hear how mad he was. He was man. Oh, no. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty. Jim Rome takes on sports. Part of what makes this show, the show, is the show within the show. The biggest topic on the show always seems to be the show itself. This is a way to give you clones a way to interact with one another. Yes, we will be going through the chat. Yes, it'll be a part of the program. The only thing that could ruin the show are the old school clones spitting up the same bull crap that they always have. The jungle is out taking names and ready to dominate. Let's get it. The Jim Rome Show podcast. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. form. The Armstrong. The Armstrong and Getty show.
with this story. It took most mainstream media a while to get around reporting it for whatever reason. This is the terrorist plot that was stopped by the FBI before it happened gladly around the whole UFC event at the White House. Here's some of the reporting from CNN. Federal officials have arrested multiple people who they say discussed plots to attack that UFC event at the White House on Sunday, including by using drones and by using gunmen. The official says a law enforcement team, including Secret Service and FBI personnel, uncovered messages, messages discussing this plot between multiple individuals. The FBI director, Kash Patel, confirmed the arrest in a post on X this morning. that the law enforcement effort to actually disrupt to thwart this allegedly planned plot was a, quote, multi-state operation and involved actors from outside the Washington, D.C. area. So here's the important part because this is like, you know, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already in the United States, but they were going to do this. Our law enforcement source said that this group of people discussed in messages attaching deadly payloads to drones in order to cause panic at the UFC event and then to use gunmen to shoot at the crowds. But it is not clear, this is an important detail here. It is not clear right now how far this group was in the planning before law enforcement became aware of these messages allegedly sent between these people. Right. You know, did they actually purchase any drones? Did they have the wherewithal? to put any sort of explosive device on a drone? Are any of them snipers? My question in general is, did they have any actual intent to pull this off, or were they just jawing online? Did they make any specific preparations? I was looking at some of the screenshots. I guess the FBI put these out. Bill Malusion of Fox has them on his site. The maps from their conversations, they have maps of the White House grounds and like, here's where we should put the snipers. I mean, so they put some time into it. Now, again, whether or not any of them are snipers and own sniper rifles or they bought any drones or anything like that, I don't know. But the intent seems to be pretty serious. Now, what they were all about, there's talk. Well, that's right. I'm sorry. I need to point out that at least a couple of them had already traveled to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where they were going to meet. So traveling from your home is a pretty good indication. You were serious. And some of the conversations were around, we got to do something about the billionaires, we got to do something about the Epstein class, any of these people that take all this money from APEC, that's anybody who takes money from the Israeli lobby. And then this that built Bill Malusian, this is from one guy that was arrested in California.
Feds say that he admitted this guy that was arrested in California. He believes the U.S. government, are you ready for this? He believes the U.S. government is run by elites who sacrifice and eat children had involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and are protected by President Trump. So he's one of those people. I've talked about this before because I know a couple in my real life that honestly believes sincerely, like get very upset talking about it because it's so disturbing to them, Like the Bush family, the Obamas, they rape and eat children. I feel like when I say this to people, they don't take me seriously. No, there are people who think this is happening that the Hollywood crowd, the political or presidents and stuff like that, rape and eat children. Is that into the ground that we've discussed many years where if your neighbor, and it's a disgusting metaphor, but if your neighbor is on the ground, on the hands and knees, ingesting his dog's leavings, telling him, hey, Steve, you shouldn't do that is a waste of time. It's an indication that he's too crazy. I think we're there. What do you say to somebody you believe something that insane? I've said nothing in the cases where people have brought it up to me. I just look at the ground and shuffle my feet and say, well, I need to get going. What are you going to say? That's badass crazy. Yeah, I'm sure you've tried.
Anyway, so I don't know how many of the people involved in the plot believed that particular part of the story, the Epstein thing. And by the way, that's stuff, that's crazy people talk that came out of some of that grand jury testimony that should have never ever been released because it was completely unverified because it's crazy talk. And they connect on the Internet, which, as we discussed earlier this hour, should probably be unplugged. There is no idea so bat-ass nuts that you can't find dozens, if not hundreds, if not thousands of people who are in with you on the Internet. Can humanity deal with that? Every village idiot is in touch with every other village idiot. It'll be interesting to see how close to actually doing this they got. I don't think it would take a tremendous amount of talent to have drones have something you could drop from the drones or crash the drones into people, just whatever to cause a panic and get people's attention and then have people with rifles start shooting. I don't think that'd be super hard to pull off. Oh, boy. Anybody got a time machine? I got a couple of different dates I'd like to return to. Last Tuesday. I had a really good meal last Tuesday. I've had a time machine and go back to last Tuesday. I was going to go back further than that. Probably buy some Apple stock while I'm there. NVIDIA. So Gavin Newsom very, very angry. He put out a, he went before a podium yesterday with flags and a tie even and yelled at people. So we'll play that for you coming up. Armstrong and Getty. Scrolling with Haley, join Haley Caronea as she scrolls through the biggest headlines. If you haven't watched this show before, we do blind reactions.

The Armstrong and Getty Show. California Governor Gavin Newsom coming before cameras to accuse President Trump of using the power of the Justice Department to launch a political hit job against him. In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family friends and former employees, not because they found a crime, because they're simply trying to find one. So Gavin Newsom with a FOIA request, Freedom of Information Act request, which gives anybody the right to access records, if you didn't know that, from executive branch agencies of the U.S. government, he wants anything that's got his or his wife's name on it that they're looking into because he believes the Justice Department is coming after him. That's right. Now, what could they possibly be investigating? All the weird financial maneuvers where millions of dollars flow to his wife's non-profit and these mysterious houses that are bought for him and that sort of thing. That's probably part of it. But first, defiant Gavi is mad and he wants you to know it. I've learned that his campaign has reached my own home to get me. He's coming after my wife, Jen. A public servant, a woman who's dedicated her life to supporting women and girls. Someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in. If they can't intimidate me, they'll go after the mother of our children. Donald Trump picked the wrong target. We have nothing to hide. I have a message for you. You can subpoena my records. You can investigate me. You can harass me. Put my name on every and any enemy's list you have. But lead my wife and family out of your personal vendetta. He has a weird speaking style. And his hand gestures are particularly odd. Did you watch this? Very weird. I couldn't tell if he'd like been practicing it earlier and trying to remember, do I raise my arm at this point? I mean, it's just like, it's like a robot the way he moves his arms around. It's very weird. He's always been a little bit like that. Yeah. Let's finish up Gavi's blast. I'd like to say something to my wife. These times are not normal. They're not ordinary. I love you and I'm sorry he's doing this. You have not earned a single one of the indignities that he's trying to inflict on you and our children. Mr. President, come after me. I'm not going anywhere, and the country is watching. How can you not say, I'd like to say this to my wife, I love you and I'm going to protect you, or whatever he just said, as opposed to, I would like to say, like he's Captain Kirk, to my wife, I love you and will stand up for you. It's just weird. I mean, I know that's got nothing to do with this story, but his inability to sound.
He ain't got any of that Clinton or Obama or any of the people that come off as normal juice. He has none of that. No, no, the whole comfortable in their own skin. I just quickly to my wife, I would like to say, what? The Wall Street Journal says Siebel Gavin Newsom is a documentary filmmaker and founder of the... Public servant, Joe, public servant. He's coming after my wife, Jen. A public servant. It sounded like he chuckled her. Sorry, I almost got through it. Can we do another take? This is live, Gavin. You know how much I'm annoyed by the term public servant? I feel like maybe the test is if you have to say you're a public servant, you're not. Because otherwise, it's obvious. That is 100. That's a great question. Well. Yeah, thanks, Ginny. Anyway, she's the, according to the Wall Street Journal, the founder of the Representation Project, an advocacy group that uses film to challenge gender stereotypes. No, they use film to sell young children on transgenderism in schools and are richly rewarded for it. And guess what? California schools are super anxious to take those films from the governor's wife. But anyway. The California Globe doing some great reporting on this. Their executive editor, Megan Barth, reporting on the long-listed dubious financial dealings by California's first couple. The Globe's reporting is consistently highlighted how vendors and donors connected to the Newsomorbit have profited handsomely while the first partner's nonprofit extracted millions through salaries and licensing fees from an organization she controls. They're coming after my wife, a public servant. Damn it, Spock. The Baldusians want democracy. Let me hear that one again, the short one there, Michael. Go ahead. I'd like to say something to my wife. These times are not normal. They're not ordinary. I love you, and I'm sorry he's doing this. You have not earned a single one of the indignities that he's trying to inflict on you and our children. Mr. President, come after me. I'm not going anywhere. And the country is watching. That's funny you would say that. Fascinating. Because that's what I thought yesterday. When I was watching him, I thought, is this him trying to do an Obama? Yeah, I picked up on that too. There were some of the inflections. There were a couple of hand gestures, I thought. You grabbed those from Barack Obama. Just out of curiosity, Michael, where is that? I know we've got some Obama in the Iran section. There it is. Give us 42. It is doubtful that any agreement that arises.
is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from. You're right. That cadence is it. Yeah, he's trying to do Obama. That's good. Yeah, that's what he's doing. He just isn't good at it. Yeah, yeah. So the Globe has reported on many questionable personal financial issues with the Newsoms, including their two large mansions secretively purchased by shady LLC's only days before closing. Where did the money come from? Who's the LLC? The $4 million mansion in Sacramento magically appeared for the Gavin Newsom shortly after the election, despite the renovation of the governor's mansion that cost $4 to $4.5 million. You know, the kind of places public servants live. And then in 2018 and 2019, an LLC tied to Gavin Newsom's cousin business partner and Plump Jack co-president Jeremy. Sure, that's his restaurant and wine company. I thought you were talking to me. I said yes. Plump Jack, indeed. Paid almost $4 million in cash for a Fair Oaks, California estate. In 2019, in October of the next year, the LLC gifted the home to the Gavin Newsom's free and clear, claiming Gavin Newsom was a member of the LLC in order to avoid roughly $4,000 in transfer taxes. The Gavin Newsom's reportedly spent several nights a week at the estate. Then there is another hairy transaction in Marin County. There you go. In 2024, Gavin Newsom and... Transgender children activist first partner Jennifer Seabull at Gavin Newsom purchased a $9 million home back in Marin County. Whoa! Marin Mansion is 5,600 square feet, and Gavin Newsom paid 7% above the asking price. How much income does it take to purchase a $9 million home? A buyer would need to make an annual income of nearly $2 million to qualify for a $9 million house. It purchased on a 30-year mortgage, which is unlikely. But the home was purchased in cash. Ah! Like a rock star professional athlete or hedge fund manager was involved. Certainly not a pair of public servants. as Gabby claimed in his statement. Gavin said, Donald Trump isn't just, I'll just read it like a regular person. Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He's coming after me because I'm considering running for president because he hates that I've consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit. Now, the California Post says that Gavin Newsom's wife's nonprofit work appears to be a key part of the probe. Good. I'm glad they're looking into that. Yeah. The Post had previously revealed that the governor directed more than $4.4 million from special interests and wealthy individuals to the California Partners Project. That is Siebel's signature initiative. Oh, yeah. He makes strong suggestions to Indian casinos and unions that they make enormous donations. And they do. Isn't that generous of them? They're not going to get anything for it because that would be a bribe. Yeah. Yeah, clearly.
And there's a bunch more stuff like this. All right. A couple of like caveats. I don't know if they're caveats. Number one, there's way too much law fair going on. Yeah. The left made Trump into the monster might be a little strong, but the aggressive, aggressive pursuer of this. He figured, what, there are no rules. There are no ethics. These people who claim ethics, look what they're doing to me in Manhattan and the rest of it. Screw it. I'm doing it to them. So, you know, what goes around comes around. Secondly, and Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel Gavin Newsom are absolutely taken money from all sorts of different sources. You think they're corrupt? That's a great question. Well, you think Gavin and his wife are corrupt. In essence, yeah. Not just kind of, but like for real. They're smart enough to do it in a way that they can get away with it for now. But yeah, 100%. Yeah. And she's a Marxist, and I can't stand that. But the other aspect of it is, you know, honestly, the Trump family is making money hand over fist. That doesn't help. Based on Donald being in the White House. So, you know, I'd love to, you know, be chucking stones. I'm not Trump. I don't live in his glass house. But, man, it's just, it's everywhere. It's discouraging. Tis. Tiz. Well, that'll be exciting. Gavin's always got the option of thinking, you know what? Screw it. I'm wealthy. I'm young. I got a hot wife. I'm not going to run for president. I'm just going to enjoy my great life. I don't think he's going to. He craves that the highest pinnacle of power. That's what they say about running for president. It's a fever. It's not like. You know, maybe I'll learn to speak Spanish. You take a class and they go out.
Yeah, yeah. All right. A quick word from our friends at Rough Greens. Your dog's food may be yummy to your dog, but it probably doesn't have all the nutrition. It needs. You know, it's lacking in all sorts of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and enzymes and omega oils that'd be great for. That's why you use Rough Greens. America's number one dog supplement.

It's about your dog living longer and happier and more energetic from the inside out. Are you FFF Greens.com discount code Armstrong? Rough Greens, they make any dog food better. Wolf. Do you think he's worried? I think Gavin Newsom's worried. I mean, if I found out the feds were knocking on my friend's doors and asking him questions, I'd be horrified. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's concerned. His lawyers are going to earn their money. Maybe he saw this coming. I mean, you get into the blood sport of presidential politics and, you know, you're in the hardest of hard ball when you get into that arena. I guarantee you Gabby and the misses have been studying the Clinton Foundation and how they got to do what they got to do and how they got away with that three years. That's what I was going to say. The Clinton, nobody, the Clintons didn't go to jail. None of the Bidens have gone to jail. The Trumps are going to get wealthy. So, yeah, if I had him, I'd think, yeah, we're doing this stuff, but we'll get away with it. Everybody gets away with it. I think Jennifer Siebel Gavin Newsom is a sincere Marxist, really wants to overthrow the patriarchy, believes little boys should turn into little girls. She's sincere about that. And if she can make an enormous paycheck and travel like a sultanate, what's a female sultan? All the better. Yeah. I don't know much about the Iran match. Iran and New Zealand tied 2-2 in L.A. yesterday in the World Cup. There were lots of protests. What were people protesting? The regime. Protesting the Iranian regime. Yeah, yeah. Like Iranian Americans? Yeah. Yeah, that was my understanding of it. Anyway, we probably should check in on the Iran deal a little bit later since there is a lot floating around out there, including every media organization seems to be against this deal, what we know of it. Or at least is holding their nose and saying, what is this? Anyway, lots to talk about. Stay here. Armstrong and Getty.
Jim Rome takes on sports. Part of what makes this show, the show, is the show within the show. The biggest topic on the show always seems to be the show itself. This is a way to give you clones a way to interact with one another. Yes, we will be going through the chat. Yes, it'll be a part of the program. The only thing that could ruin the show are the old school clones spitting up the same bull crap that they always have. The jungle is out taking names and ready to dominate. Let's get it. The Jim Rome Show podcast. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Form. The Armstrong and Getty Show. I don't want to out anybody and get him in trouble. This is a friend of a friend. Now, Joe has long said, anytime somebody says, what do you call that, Fouf? Fulf. Anytime somebody says a friend of a friend, it's usually not true. It's something we do because if you... separate it more than friend of a friend, it doesn't have any... Loses its credibility. I can tell you in this case, it is literally a friend of a friend, like I could get them on the phone if I needed to. So this is a pilot who is flying into the United States and had this conversation the other day, and I'm surprised this hasn't made the news. You said emergency or medical emergency, just verify that for me. Please tell us off altimeter 29 or 80. 29 or 80 and yes, it's basically a medical emergency. We were notified that we have a possible Ebola case on board. Okay, New 979, Roger. Let me stay where they want you on 9-10-19. Roger, thank you. Reds United 979. We're, needs some information from you there. The seat numbers of the passenger or passengers. Unfortunately, we don't have any seat numbers. We were given information by ops that Customs and Border Control couldn't verify, but that we had a possible Ebola case on board. We're thinking that it's a family of five or six that came in from Uganda, but at this time we don't have any seat numbers. Okay. Thanks very much. And so it was a medical emergency. They landed. They did the whole, you know, they got ambulances there, the plane got them off, tested them, turned it out they didn't have Ebola. But they've been exposed to Ebola and not checked. And I'm just surprised this didn't make the news because usually we go nuts over things that we mock as nothing to worry about. This seems like a big deal. You had a family of five or six exposed to Ebola. They might have Ebola. Might be six people on a plane for hours. because it's an overseas flight who have Ebola who landed in the United States. I don't understand. And apparently I'm told that the airline didn't want that. Took that off TikTok or made him take it off TikTok and have been trying to squash the story. Oh, really? That's what I was told. I don't know. That one I can't verify. What was the communication chain? Prior to the pilot radar radioing ground control was like a stortist doing the beverage service. And somebody said, and then we got exposed to Ebola. And I thought, what next? And that stortis like, wait, wait, what? Or, hey, that guy I just gave peanuts to?
He appears to be bleeding from his nipples. Well, again, they were symptom-free in your telling of the account. Oh, that's right. They don't actually have a bull. Right, exactly, but they were exposed to it. So they were talking to their seatmate. Oh, you're coming from Uganda. You're kidding. I've never been there. Oh, it's a nice place. But occasionally you get exposed to Ebola like we did this week. How did this? What happened? Hey, I think the woman in 13 is sloughing off her skin. I don't know. That's right. I forgot again. They don't have the Ebola. As you yourself stated, they were symptom-free. Speaking of foreigners coming to the United States, have you followed Freddie, the viral German soccer fan? He was the guy we quoted the other day who he's making his way around America, mostly in the southeast so far. And, um... He ate a chicken sandwich for breakfast at a Walmart near Chattanooga, and he tweeted about it. He bought inexpensive shoes at the store because he'd ruined his other shoes and was talking about how wonderful it was. He drove through Alabama listening to country music. He stopped at the Buckees where he was struggling to comprehend it. Gas pumps as far as the eye can see in slow smoke, Texas barbecue inside. Or as Freddie put it with photos and three crying face emojis, dude, LMAO, this is a gas station. in America. Just fabulous. And then he, this is my favorite one. He was in Alabama. I love Americans, he posted after arriving. We were about to walk an hour to the stadium in the rain to save on an Uber, and the receptionist at the hotel we were parked in front of decided to drive us there. And then from inside Auburn University's 88,000 seat stadium being posted, this is the most, the European mind can't comprehend this moment of my life. There's an eagle flying around the stadium. Yeah, I hear Charles C.W. Cook of the National Review talks about this a lot because he's from England. He's now a U.S. citizen. He's from England. He said, People in America don't realize how much richer they are than all of the rest of the world, even advanced European countries. We have so much more of everything than anybody else does. And we take it for granted. Richer and more imaginative and really, really funny. We are a funny people. The Washington Post points out that sometimes it takes... Funny like a clown?
