Bản chép lời đầy đủ của Just Do Better

of a head-scratcher, yeah. It's very... Also, I think it's crappy that Biden released it in his desperate ploy to sell his crappy book. Oh, really? I was just wondering why he did it, if he is like in his final days on Earth thinking, you know, I want to try to bring people together and show that Trump's not a complete non-patriotic nut job. Because the letter is very, very nice and grown up. Yes, indeed. It's remarkably tender and positive, yeah. The gulf between my analysis and yours is a wide one. And, you know, I'm feeling kind of bad again about my analysis. Wow. It's a rough start to the show today, Michael. It seemed like the sort of letter George H.W. Bush would have left in his desk for Bill Clinton. Right. Not Donald Trump, who days earlier... had survived impeachment to be removed from office for encouraging slash idly standing by allowing an attack on the Capitol. I mean, that's just days later, really. Oh, right. And then he writes this letter, and why doesn't he show that side of him more often if he has that side? Does he think it looks weak? Well, you know... The only thing I came up with in thinking about this very question is there's the real Trump, the Trump you might get when you're working with him on a golf course and hotel project. And then there's the I'm the public President Trump Trump. And the version of himself that he crafts for that purpose is kind of insulting to all of our intelligences. And it's pitched kind of at the everyman, and it worked for a while. But a little more of the real Trump would be helpful. And then there's the Trump if you're in a short skirt at Studio 54 in like the 80s or something. Then you're going to get grabbed by the, well, crotchal area. Who among us was not a different person in the 80s, including some of us who were unborn at that time? So, yeah. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trump, what are you going to do? Highly troubled by that spying story, though. Gosh darn it. You don't think you got to worry about your own soldiers spying for Russia. Holy crap. Well, you certainly hope not. Man, you're a bad person if you do that. A really, really bad person. And it's not just like Russia during... peacetime, which would be bad enough, while they're prosecuting one of the worst wars in modern history. Yeah, cruel and horrifying. God dang it. Be better, is what I would say to that. There you go. The theme has emerged. Got some more inflation news out. When people do the math on this and add it up, it's not surprising why we're all shocked when we go to the grocery store or anywhere else. Right. The cumulative adding of inflation is what is not reported on enough. We get the monthly numbers. Tell us what this cost a year ago today. They ought to do that more often. Right. And if you add to the inflation of the currency, keeping in mind inflation isn't really, and we're the only ones who know this, friends, inflation isn't rising prices. It's cheapening of the currency. Right. So if you add to that the loss of buying power because of the deliberate plot by the government to cheapen the currency to pay off the debts they've accumulated and because it's a tax, if you add to that the tariffs, I mentioned this, I think it was late in the show, I can't remember if it was on air or off and it doesn't matter, but I passed on buying a bike rack. I wanted a really good, high-quality, last bike rack I'm going to buy, easy to put the bikes on and off. I'm an old guy. I've got arthritis in my hands, blah, blah, blah. Wanted a good bike rack. I passed on it a couple of years ago because it was $ 800. I'm like, $ 800 for a bike rack? But now I really, really want a bike rack. I went back. Now it's $ 1, 200. Like, holy crap, really? And yeah, I know there are cheaper ones than that, but I want a good one. So yeah, yeah, it's brutal. Cumulatively, it's sickening. God, vote against inflationary policies all the time. It should be everybody's jihad. That and resisting jihadis, which we're going to get to later on in the show. Inflation like that's like Hungary in 1946, if you didn't catch that One More Thing podcast from a couple of weeks ago, which was about the pango. And that was really quite amazing. Fascinating. The pengo, that was the beast that spread the COVID in the Chinese wet markets. The Hungarian money. Oh, shoot. I totally misunderstood that. Things were doubling every 15 hours. That's the worst inflation in world history is what we were talking about. Yes, Michael? I just wanted to say one thing. Biden's letter to Trump. My wife can't help you. She isn't a real doctor. Beautiful. Can you imagine? So prices were, what did you say? Doubling every 15 hours. Wow. So if like I decided, all right, screw it. I'm going to buy the bike rack at $ 1, 200. And I wandered down the hall to the laundry room to get my wallet out of the drawer. There's my credit card. I bring it back to the kitchen where I got my laptop set up. Now it's $ 1, 275 just in walking up and down the hall. Yeah. Yikes! It'd be a crazy way to live. Let's start the show officially here on Veterans Day. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. On this, it is Wednesday, November 11th, the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program. All right, let's begin officially then. According to FCC, rules and regulations wouldn't want to end up in a cell next to that spy guy in Britain. Here we go, at Mark. 00:09:52 Speaker 4: The press reports that Trump was briefed more than a year ago that NVIDIA's CEO was having an affair with a suspected Chinese police and Trump didn't do anything, anything about it. 00:10:03 Speaker 2: Can you believe that? We just saw it. That was such a poor job of Chuck Schumer acting. Can you believe that? Have you ever noticed he can't tell you it's Tuesday? I can't wait for the weekend without reading it. It's very old. Very old. The Bidens got pelted with refuse yesterday in Ireland for this ridiculous award they were in Dublin for Hunter.

Hunter received some sort of. Irish Freedom Gold Medal or something like that? Ridiculous. Craft Buying Customer of the Year? Anyway, they got stuff thrown at them, which is wild. I don't know if this is one of Katie's headlines, and then we'll take a break so she can get to those, but our Secretary of the Treasury is more or less in hiding on a military base because Iran's trying to kill him. Some more on that coming up. Good Lord. Headlines all on the way. Stay here. Yeah, so it's funny. I was thinking about where I keep my wallet and if I should have disclosed that on the air. But thank goodness we have SimpliSafe Home Security with its fabulous, fabulous technologies. I mean, for instance, you've got these smart AI-powered cameras that watch for potential threats and alert a live U.S.-based security specialist ready to intervene. So if they get an alert and say, wow, that is a burglar stalking the place, They can intervene in seconds, speaking through the camera to stop the intruder in their tracks, call in the cops for an urgent 911 dispatch. It's amazingly advanced. So we're going to tell you about this special 70% off deal here in just a little bit. But one of the most amazing things about SimpliSafe is they don't lock you into a contract. They believe their product is good enough, and millions of people like me are using it month by month and staying with it just because we like it. It makes us feel better and more secure. And I tell you what, I'd like to shoot him in the liver for this, but scumbags target homes during the holidays. So get the SimpliSafe going now. You get 70% off your new system. SimpliSafe.com slash Armstrong. That's SimpliSafe.com slash Armstrong. Right in Armstrong and Getty. A checkout helps the show. SimpliSafe.com slash Armstrong. Ahead of crime in real time. Armstrong and Getty. You know what I had for dinner last night? I was doing a lot of running around, so I didn't have time to organize anything. Deviled eggs. I stopped at the grocery store and got a big package of deviled eggs and ate them in my truck as I drove home. I haven't had grocery store deviled eggs in an age. They're generally high-level grocery stores. Yeah, but the deviled egg is a delicious treat. Oh, very good. Very good. Yeah. Very good. Love it. Katie, your stance on deviled eggs? No, I think they're delicious. I don't know about them being dinner. But it's protein-y. Resting them between your legs as you eat them driving down the highway to get home. Yeah. That's so disturbing. Okay. Wow. Bon appetit, everybody. Drive carefully. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's Lee's story with Katie Green. Katie. All righty. 00:13:10 Speaker 3: Starting with the Alphabet Networks, and they're sticking with the politics. ABC, House tables Hegseth impeachment, effectively killing it in current Congress. NBC, Democrats deeply skeptical Trump wants to work with them after his elevation of Stephen Miller. 00:13:29 Speaker 2: And then, Jack, you mentioned this. 00:13:30 Speaker 3: CBS Besant relocates from D.C. area home to military base after Iran threatens to kill him. 00:13:37 Speaker 2: So on the Pete Hegseth impeachment, the biggest mystery to me is why were there 11 Democrats that didn't make it there? If they'd have showed up, they could have won. But they didn't. They're back at home. And they weren't going to fly back for that charade. Well, they said they were stuck in traffic was the claim. But, I don't know, did they not want to vote him out and start an impeachment, rather, proceeding and muck up the words? So it's an even more cowardly version of voting present. Well, it was a Republican. Yeah, yeah, it got stuck in traffic. Yeah, that was it. It was a Republican that put forward the impeachment articles. I'm not sure the Democrats want to go through an impeachment to start their new term. Right, that's true, too. 00:14:26 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:14:27 Speaker 2: Massey's marginally a Republican. Massey is a Masseyist, or a Masseyist, if you will. 00:14:34 Speaker 3: From Reuters, hoax bomb alerts sent to schools in Italy, in the UK, and Ireland in latest cyber attack disruption. 00:14:45 Speaker 2: Overnight, 300 schools got the same bomb threat message. Is this Russia doing the same thing they were doing with the freezers? is the question. It certainly could be. It probably is. 00:14:59 Speaker 3: Speaking of Russia, from the AP, Russia and Ukraine agree to a large prisoner exchange as talks conclude with no major breakthrough. 00:15:10 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Russian, one of the Russian diplomats just came out and told cameras, we will not stop until all Russian land is ours or something like that. So it seemed like a step backwards for the so-called ongoing negotiations. 00:15:27 Speaker 3: From the Wall Street Journal, anthropic founders' stakes. 00:15:32 Speaker 2: Are worth $ 18. 00:15:34 Speaker 3: Billion apiece at IPO price. 00:15:38 Speaker 2: Really? Really? Surprised there's not more. Yeah, they crafted something pretty amazing in an amazingly short amount of time. Yeah, they did. New York Post. 00:15:49 Speaker 3: Caped nut job in a wizard hat. 00:15:53 Speaker 2: Wow, you got my attention. Go on. 00:15:56 Speaker 3: Attacks Turning Point USA group at Texas University event. 00:16:00 Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Yeah, not so funny. 00:16:02 Speaker 3: This guy was walking around with a shillelagh. 00:16:07 Speaker 2: And using it as a weapon? 00:16:08 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:16:10 Speaker 2: I gotta admit, I don't know what a shillelagh is. It's a club. A club? Yeah. You know, that reminds me of the woke podcasters who are now in trouble for joking about Charlie Kirk's assassination and how all their sponsors are leaving them. We gotta talk about that later on, but What struck me about them is they are so utterly convinced of their rightness. And it reminded me of several other really ugly political movements going on around the world right now. That is what you look out for.

The utter fanatical conviction that you can't possibly be wrong in the slightest degree. Doesn't matter the ideology underpinning it. If you have that, you have danger. Fox News. 00:16:56 Speaker 3: Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle's father, cut off ankle monitor after child porn arrest. 00:17:02 Speaker 2: How about that? What kind of nut is he? A nutty one. And the judge said, these ankle monitors are not suggestions. It's the law. And now you're going to be in jail. Now you don't get to be out at all. Boy, he is a nut. 00:17:19 Speaker 3: Study finds morning work dread... Linked to bedtime worry. 00:17:28 Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for that. How much do you get. 00:17:30 Speaker 3: Paid for that? 00:17:30 Speaker 2: So what you're saying is the things you were really worried about when you went to bed are similar to those when you wake up? This is a breakthrough. Wow. And finally, the Babylon Bee. 00:17:47 Speaker 3: Heartbroken, Eric Swalwell learns Chinese intelligence has been seeing other people. 00:17:53 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a funny thing from the Babylon Bee they put out yesterday. Ten ways to tell your girlfriend's a Chinese spy. It's pretty funny. I love it. Get a little humor up in her. Oh, and it's fairly insulting to poor Mr. Huang. Got a great gender-bending madness update later on. Jihad Watch. Today in racism, I've got all sorts of feature ads for you. Fantastic. You gave them all a name. That's good. Yeah, of course. Armstrong and Getty. 00:18:23 Speaker 5: Her legal name is Wang Le. She's 43 years old and a Chinese citizen. Wang is from Hunan province in southern China and studied in Hong Kong before working for state-run TV and later in investment banking at HSBC and CITIC Securities. She went on to high-level positions at Shanghai Hoshi Investment Firm starting in 2015. By 2023, Alice Wong was a director at the Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, which would quickly become one of the largest buyers of NVIDIA chips in Asia. It's unclear exactly where and when the two Wongs met. But by 2024, the U.S. government was investigating whether Megaspeed and Alice Wong were helping companies in China... Get around American export restrictions on NVIDIA chips. 00:19:04 Speaker 2: She then moved on to a career of sleeping with old men to try to influence their policy. We haven't found an age on her anywhere. Job market's tough for younger professionals these days. I read that in the journal. Katie, you're probably better as a woman guessing ages. How old do we think this woman is? Jensen is 63. She's 38. You think she's in her 30s? I can't tell. That's my guess. You have a guess, Katie? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. I was going to say somewhere in her early 30s. Okay. That's pretty young. Half his age, practically. What do you got? 00:19:39 Speaker 3: Oh, hang on. 00:19:40 Speaker 2: Nobody's been reporting his age. I've Googled it. 00:19:45 Speaker 3: The executive late is estimated to be 49. 00:19:49 Speaker 2: She's estimated by who to be 49. Arborists. I've gone through and looked at her rings. I've gone through all the chat bots and nobody knows her age. She's not. She's not that old. 00:19:59 Speaker 3: Anyway, 49 earlier report media reports incited her age to be 42. 00:20:03 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody knows. This is from the Babylon Bee. Top 10 signs your girlfriend is a Chinese spy. Oh, good. This is the sort of analysis we need more of. It's pretty insulting to Jensen Huang. But could happen to anybody, any older man, I suppose. She's a gorgeous Chinese woman who wants to go on a date with you. This is your first clue. Number two. A babe. A smoking hot babe from the Orient wants to see you romantically. You don't have that kind of game. Get it through your head. Number three. A woman of Chinese descent who is conventionally beautiful is expressing a modicum of interest in you. It's a spy or nothing, bud. Number four. She is female, Chinese, and not ugly, yet wants to go out with a giant dweeb like you. This should be concerning. Number five. A real-life human being of the opposite sex who hails from the Far East and is a total smoke show claims to be physically attracted to you. Be honest with yourself, bro. I'm seeing a pattern here. Number six, she is not blind. She has seen you and looks like a supermodel from the continent of Asia. Bad news on the spy front. And then finally, she is a Chinese 10 and you are a whatever number you are. Espionage is literally the only explanation. Oh, that's really good. 00:21:30 Speaker 3: Love that. 00:21:31 Speaker 2: Oh, that is funny. I was laughing in bed reading that last night. She is a hottie from the Orient. So I was reading Holman Jenkins, who's a really interesting thinker. He writes for the Journal's Opinion page, among other things. But he was talking about this whole deal. And actually, he starts talking about the term AI Chernobyl, which he thought he'd coined. But an AI search, ironically, had showed up like two weeks before somewhere else. But anyway, he's talking about how, number one, he says something to the effect of, It appears Chinese intelligence approached her after they were involved. I had not heard that previously. One need not be a trained Chinese intelligence agent to become an intelligence asset. I happen to know a little bit about that, having studied this academically, blah, blah, blah. And also, I knew somebody who was similarly employed by the United States government. And sometimes they realize, hey, you travel a ton. You talk to these people. You're, in our case, either a patriot or, in their case— I'll behead your aunt if you don't. And employed her and said, look, you got to push hard for him to sell chips to China, which he already wants to do. So I thought that was interesting. But the second thing that he said. A lot of spying over, as I've read lots of books about this, a lot of the spying that went on during the Cold War, particularly, always seemed like just such a waste of time

to me. You're pretending to be somebody living in America as a Russian or living in Russia as an American. And you're like sending back newspaper clippings about farm harvest results and stuff like that. And I always said, is that really doing that much good? Is anybody actually even looking at this stuff? Absolutely. 100%. It's incredibly important. Yeah. If you're going to, especially if you're engaging in, and that was actually Mr. Jenkins' ultimate point was, They're ultimately engaged in trying to fill us with doubt and lack of confidence and being at each other's throats, which is, you know, the old Russian plan to undermine their adversaries. So you really have to get a complete understanding of what's going on in society to do that effectively, I think. I know it sounds— it' s the grunt work. It's the blocking and tackling of intelligence. But anyway, so his point is— Of course, American intelligence is going to become aware that this chick's hooked up with Chinese intelligence agencies. It's practically hilarious to think that they wouldn't. And they figured it out a long, long time ago. Here's this incredibly important executive in the cutting edge technology that the world is pursuing. And he's an American. And oh, he's got a Chinese girlfriend. That's nice. I love when Love Blooms said the CIA. No, they said, wait a minute. Who is this chick? Like the second they cited her. I love when Love Blooms with older married men and younger out of his league. Going back to that list, yeah. Hilarious. But so his point is, they knew that we would know and figure it out really quickly. They want Americans' faith in our AI leaders and industries to be shaken, to grow suspicion, giving them the edge. And then I read another great piece, can't remember who wrote it, but they were making the point that, look, for all of the hazards of AI. 00:25:20 Speaker 2: Every AI type attack, and no, I'm not going to say freaking SI, Mr. President. And it's kind of cloying when people do. Oh, that's right. It was Scott Besson writing in the journal who said superintelligence, the president's much better term for artificial intelligence. He had in parentheses in his opinion piece. Oh, my God. He put fluffing in parentheses? Yes, he did. He's absolutely overt fluffing. But in fact, I can read it to you. It's right here. American superintelligence models, a newer and more accurate term for artificial intelligence from President Trump, have had advanced cyber capabilities for months. But his point is the only defense. against China's AI is if we keep developing our AI full speed. Yeah, there are hazards. Yeah, there's uncertainty. Yeah, we're worried. Yeah, we saw that the data centers are kind of unpopular in the last election. But that's the only thing keeping us safe from the evildoers' AIs. And it's a pretty good point. I think AI Three Mile Island is better than AI Chernobyl because it was a Three Mile Island mild accident in the United States that Stopped us from using nuclear power here. If there was some sort of AI mistake like that, I wonder if the United States would really turn on AI. Although you'd think that the hugging face thing would have been that. Right. I'm going to agree with you and disagree with you. I think AI Chernobyl is short, rolls off the tongue. People get it. A disaster that changes everything. Your analysis, though, not your analysis. Your analysis. Your analysis is important. I don't mean to demean the work of urologists and lab technicians. Are you getting enough sodium? I'm afraid I'm getting distracted here. The analysis you brought forth is like your next level smart analysis I might read in the journal. Let's not get freaked out by AI three-mile islands. They're inevitable. It's a developing technology. It's a good point. God, every once in a while I forget that we're living through this. Oh, yeah, that's right. Everything we've ever known is going to change like any day now. I'll wake up tomorrow to the headlines. Seriously. Everybody's unemployed and the dollar has no value. Anyway, have a good day. One guy now controls all the militaries. Oh, okay. Interesting. He just got done reading Mein Kampf. Wow. Holy crap. So does Jensen keep his job? Yeah. I've heard a bunch of people say, there's no way he could possibly stay in that position, given what happened. And then others saying he is NVIDIA. He is the company. Everybody reports to him. He makes all the decisions. Yeah. The board is weirdly structured to his favor. His kids are top executives in the company. Yeah, he is NVIDIA. Holy crap. He's got to read that list from the Babylon Bee. Yeah. And you know what? I get it. You're incredibly smart. You're incomprehensibly successful. You're a good looking guy. The jacket works. And a younger gal comes along. It's not unprecedented. If you're one of the world's most powerful men and richest men, you don't need to have any of those other things even mentioned. You don't have to be a good-looking guy. You don't have to be well-dressed. You don't have to be anything. If you're one of the most powerful, wealthy men in the world. I'm talking about being swept away as opposed to seeing it as a transaction. But I'm telling you, no matter what the circumstances are... I'm involved in something incredibly important. Cutting edge has all sorts of stuff to do with national security, etc. And my new beau is a Chinese national. I mean, do you need more than that? Yeah. Even if she's my age. Come on. So I saw a thing yesterday. I was trying to understand a meme that was floating around the Internet. It was. the entire world economy. It was like a Jenga tower with one tiny little thing holding it up. The entire world economy and the tiny little thing holding up the world economy was Jensen Huang's wife. A woman scorned? I guess. If she wanted to, like, blow up their marriage and all these finances and take over his life with more stress than he's ever had, ever. That could be. That's a

bit too much effing perspective to quote Spinal Tap. Or maybe she knows things that could really do it. Who knows? Got a great freedom-loving quote of the day for you, not to mention mailbag after a word from our friends at Blue Collar Dollar. Speaking of amassing a little bit of wealth, you've been busting your ass. You've been doing it the traditional American way, small business person, farmer, entrepreneur, whatever you are. And you want some down-to-earth financial advice without the pretension? Get in touch with our friends at Blue Collar Dollar. Yeah, it's a pretty cool idea.

So for some reason, Biden released the letter Trump left in the Oval Office desk when Biden took office. And we can get to that now or two. It's a very grown up, nice, patriotic letter from Donald Trump. Yeah, it really is fascinating. So join us for that, won't you? Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. And our theme of forgiveness. Let's see. Oh, a couple. Based on the fact that Donald Trump said he couldn't forgive his enemies, he hates his enemies. Gandhi said the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. And similarly, Thomas Zsasz, and he can't be the only guy to say this, the stupid neither forgive nor forget. The naive forgive and forget. The wise forgive but do not forget. Mailbag. Drop us a note, mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. First of all, Russ from Portland has written us an hilarious, entertaining, and overly long email on the topic of public pooping. I will not be reading that. It is a comment on our shocking and controversial One More Thing podcast from yesterday, the 10th of November, the year of our Lord, 2026. Which I'm embarrassed to have taken part in. Listen if you dare. Or better yet, subscribe to Armstrong and Getty On Demand or follow us. You automatically get the One More Thing podcast downloaded without doing anything. Anyways, shocking and outrageous. I think we're all a little ashamed. Let's see. Occasionally I will share this from the mailbag guest pitches that we get from folks who spam us now that our email address has gotten out somehow because it's impossible to prevent that. Heather writes, are holiday pet gift guides on your editorial calendar? I'd love to introduce Blank's PetZen and CatZen for consideration in a product-led pet wellness story. Holiday pet gift guide. Yes, whether that's... Katie's applauding that. Katie's applauding that. There you go. Regular guest, weekly until the holidays. Weekly until the holidays. Do you get your dog a Christmas gift? 00:33:51 Speaker 3: Of course. 00:33:52 Speaker 2: And if you didn't, do you think your dog would be disappointed? Hell yeah. 00:33:55 Speaker 1: Yeah. 00:33:57 Speaker 2: Potty training out the window. We can get an interview with Michael there about how the team develops products for households with both children and pets. Boy, that does sound really interesting, but I'm afraid we must pass. Moving along, Lloyd from Indiana on the topic of Trump and forgiveness. I have a lot to say on this matter. No need to keep it short. Thanks, Lloyd. I don't think President Trump has true understanding of biblical forgiveness. He is engaged in a war and views forgiveness as surrender. Asking him to forgive those who oppose him is like asking him to surrender. His belief is that he must win at all costs so he can't fathom why anyone would ever surrender to their enemies. This is, of course, not biblical forgiveness as it involves surrender only to God and allowing him to direct our path and defend us against our enemies. That's true, Lloyd. Well, he's not a religious fellow at all, Donald Trump, though he claims to be. The Bible! That's right, sir. Sacrotarian writes, two quick things. First, on the Hegsath impeachment talk, I love that you called out. He hadn't stood in front of the press for six months while we're in the middle of a war. That's insane. But his lasting legacy won't be any single strike or scandal. It'll be dragging politically charged rhetoric into the military, and that corrosion will outlast him for years. Secretarian, I could not disagree more vehemently, sir. You're either a progressive or you've been completely hoodwinked by the progressives. They drag transgenderism into the military. and all sorts of bizarre, never-seen-in-our-military-again attitudes, or before attitudes, DEI, and the rest of it, incredibly awful and corrosive. And then Pete Hegseth saying, we're not having that anymore. That's dragging politics into the military? No, sir. I say no. It's the classic technique. You put the stories about trans families in the kids' library, and then when you try to take them out, you're the book banner. Right, exactly. Or porn. Just avert porn. On the other hand, a second point is an excellent one. I'm sick of Republicans now vowing to take on the Democrats come January 3rd with an energy they never showed when they held power. Too many of them would rather be the party out of power where you can say reckless things, argue endlessly, and never answer for any of it. It's 100% true, sir, 100%. Being the party out of power is vastly easier. Yeah, Jonah Goldberg's been arguing that for years, that deep down both parties want to be the one that's out of power complaining and raising money. And this from Doug in Portlandia. Remember how the talk of Biden resigning a little bit after the midpoint of his presidency so Kamala could have almost two years and then four more, ten years? What a joy. Trump thinks differently. Instead of setting up vans for a nice on-ramp and a ten-year journey, he will resign right before the midpoint of his presidency. Then he will announce his candidacy for 2028. He'll be fully eligible to be elected to his third term. Number one, he'd be 84 or 85. Number two, he would lose 49 states, Doug. It's an insidious plan, an unlikely one, however.
