WEBVTT - A D.F. 0:00:07.330 --> 0:00:11.180 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:11.220 --> 0:00:15.450 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:15.650 --> 0:00:33.540 Armstrong and Getty. And now. From Studio C. C. A. Senior. 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.600 Midweek, deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty 0:00:36.620 --> 0:00:38.000 Communications compound. 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.140 Hey, y'all, today we are toiling under the title of 0:00:40.180 --> 0:00:43.490 the show. A bloodbath inside a dumpster fire out back 0:00:43.590 --> 0:00:44.669 behind the poop show. 0:00:44.690 --> 0:00:45.610 Oh, that's gross. 0:00:45.630 --> 0:00:49.290 Or if you prefer, vote as if I'm on the ballot. 0:00:49.570 --> 0:00:51.350 America says you got it. 0:00:53.530 --> 0:00:56.600 It is an interesting strategy when you're the second least 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.950 popular person president going into a midterm in the last 0:00:59.950 --> 0:01:01.530 80 years or something like that. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:07.840 I i don't know how to analyze that psychologically well 0:01:07.900 --> 0:01:10.380 unless it's just self-delusion. 0:01:09.860 --> 0:01:12.399 Yeah it's an odd thing to try to do but 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.330 i'm not sure what it made any difference to not 0:01:15.450 --> 0:01:17.650 go around saying that i'm not sure a lot of 0:01:17.690 --> 0:01:19.790 things would have made any difference as as you've been 0:01:19.810 --> 0:01:21.850 saying for a long time and it's just you know 0:01:21.870 --> 0:01:24.090 when when everything's really expensive. 0:01:24.069 --> 0:01:28.330 That's that's the issue that's the issue Well, and what if, 0:01:28.530 --> 0:01:33.459 on top of that, you took a big running leap 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.000 of faith gamble on a guy you weren't really sure 0:01:38.060 --> 0:01:42.179 about purely because you thought the one thing he does 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.090 right is the economy and keeping prices down. 0:01:46.250 --> 0:01:46.390 Right. 0:01:46.930 --> 0:01:49.530 I am going to put all of my doubts and 0:01:49.570 --> 0:01:53.690 misgivings aside. I'm going to clamp my jaw shut and 0:01:53.770 --> 0:01:55.930 I am going to make that leap of faith because 0:01:56.010 --> 0:02:00.930 by God, this man will do. 0:02:01.910 --> 0:02:05.000 It'll be interesting to see if the Democrats can keep 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.140 from overreaching because neither party has been able to do 0:02:08.180 --> 0:02:10.120 that for a lot of cycles now. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.060 I was going to say, how did you say that 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.100 with a straight face? Where you. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.060 You think, well, we've been voted into completely up in 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.510 society and the economy and everything that's ever happened. That's 0:02:23.530 --> 0:02:26.049 what people voted us in for, as opposed to we 0:02:26.070 --> 0:02:27.510 don't like what's currently happening. 0:02:28.230 --> 0:02:28.590 Right. 0:02:29.590 --> 0:02:29.690 And. 0:02:30.990 --> 0:02:32.769 I stole this from somebody else, but I tweeted it 0:02:32.830 --> 0:02:35.090 out before I went to bed last night. Hey, Democrats, 0:02:35.110 --> 0:02:38.109 you're still the least popular you've ever been in your 0:02:38.150 --> 0:02:43.530 party's history. That's statistically true. 28% approval for the Democratic 0:02:43.590 --> 0:02:45.270 Party in the United States of America. It's the least 0:02:45.330 --> 0:02:47.950 popular they've ever been in their history. So the idea 0:02:48.010 --> 0:02:52.030 that because you beat the party that brought gas prices, 0:02:52.070 --> 0:02:54.060 Warren Iran tariffs, all that sort of stuff, that all 0:02:54.070 --> 0:02:58.280 of a sudden you're not living with 28% approval rating. 0:02:58.340 --> 0:03:00.299 Don't fool yourself. You're still not popular. 0:03:01.330 --> 0:03:05.670 Yes. And I would say and I agree completely, given 0:03:05.910 --> 0:03:12.470 the incredible. Low regard with which the Democratic Party is 0:03:12.570 --> 0:03:17.530 held in which at which by America, I mean, they're loathed. 0:03:17.550 --> 0:03:24.120 To go that far. blue in in the reddest of 0:03:24.300 --> 0:03:29.090 states is a repudiation that is beyond belief your swing 0:03:29.150 --> 0:03:32.290 states go your independent minded go the other way that's 0:03:32.630 --> 0:03:40.400 that's midterms that happens texas south carolina georgia again this 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.540 is a brutal repudiation brutal. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:51.040 Yeah um The candidate choice stuff, which we can talk 0:03:51.060 --> 0:03:53.660 about more later, but I don't think Cornyn would have 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.700 won in Texas either. When the governor gets booted out, yeah, 0:03:57.740 --> 0:04:00.090 I don't think it would have made any difference. Yeah, 0:04:00.190 --> 0:04:03.010 Texas is a special case. I've been looking at the 0:04:03.050 --> 0:04:06.670 red estates that got overturned. I mean, for instance, in 0:04:06.750 --> 0:04:11.750 South Carolina, and this is striking, the statehouse stayed red. 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:18.190 The governorship, the attorney general... The Congress flowed way blue 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.029 compared to past results, but it's still a red state. 0:04:23.910 --> 0:04:27.130 But Darlene Graham got absolutely whooped. 0:04:27.430 --> 0:04:30.100 And should. There's no way she should be in the Senate. 0:04:30.540 --> 0:04:32.020 And you know what? She didn't want to be in 0:04:32.060 --> 0:04:32.460 the Senate. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.980 But she licked Trump's boots so clean. They were shiny. 0:04:39.140 --> 0:04:41.880 She didn't do it to get the nomination, though. She's 0:04:41.900 --> 0:04:43.150 just being nice. You know what? 0:04:44.420 --> 0:04:46.880 You're right. You're right. That is unfair to that poor, 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.940 nice old lady who really just wants to advocate for 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.760 the blind and got caught up in a whirlwind. That 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:53.960 describes Paxton. 0:04:54.100 --> 0:04:54.320 Yeah. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.300 Darlene Graham was just seen by Trump as somebody who 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:57.900 will vote for me. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.039 All the time. No, she wasn't maneuvering behind the scenes 0:05:00.100 --> 0:05:02.660 to get the job. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.380 She was begging to be let out of it, I 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:05.200 would guess. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.940 Oh, I guarantee you. Like I said yesterday morning, I 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.960 guarantee you, in deep inside her, it was relief last night. 0:05:13.170 --> 0:05:16.370 I don't have to go there. And my, but the, 0:05:16.670 --> 0:05:18.510 a lot of funny tweets I got that I gathered 0:05:18.529 --> 0:05:20.340 throughout the night, but this one from Ann Coulter, I 0:05:20.380 --> 0:05:23.099 thought was funny. Hard to believe the Darlene Graham era 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.360 is coming to an end. The lioness of the Senate. 0:05:27.900 --> 0:05:28.239 Okay. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.300 That's funny. 0:05:31.900 --> 0:05:32.920 That's really funny. 0:05:33.420 --> 0:05:37.320 I like the people who are tweeting out ridiculous exaggerations 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.359 of how awful everything is going to be now. Oh, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.640 Every cheesecake factory is going to be an abortion clinic. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:45.540 Oh, my God. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.180 Starting tomorrow, you have to put your pronouns on your 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.380 tax forms. That sort of thing. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.550 Oh, boy. I tell you what, and I, trust me, 0:05:56.610 --> 0:06:00.390 for a variety of reasons, I don't even think about 0:06:00.450 --> 0:06:06.450 this until after it's happened. But for our jobs, the 0:06:06.490 --> 0:06:10.590 amount of insanity we're going to be talking about reporting 0:06:10.830 --> 0:06:16.110 on the maneuvers, the efforts to view this as some 0:06:16.190 --> 0:06:18.909 sort of mandate from the American people to go completely 0:06:19.029 --> 0:06:22.740 woke again, is going to be just a prairie fire. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.099 And it's going to be interesting as hell. 0:06:25.300 --> 0:06:31.780 Well, getting back to the whole over-reading the election... There 0:06:31.820 --> 0:06:34.520 are a handful of DSA members that got elected, but 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.520 that's not who won all across the country. It's tons 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.580 and tons of moderate Democrats who booted out the Republican 0:06:42.020 --> 0:06:45.370 all across the country, tons of them. So if the 0:06:46.170 --> 0:06:48.589 AOCs of the world or whoever or the media or 0:06:48.630 --> 0:06:52.549 whoever thinks it's a giant DSA takeover is what happened yesterday, 0:06:53.089 --> 0:06:53.830 they're just wrong. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:59.100 Right. There was definitely progress. If you are on the 0:06:59.140 --> 0:07:03.260 DSA side of things, they definitely clawed more ground, clawed 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.920 their way to more ground. Not a ton. 0:07:07.060 --> 0:07:09.760 There's like six. There's like six DSA members in the 0:07:09.780 --> 0:07:10.500 entire house. 0:07:11.980 --> 0:07:15.100 Oh, no, no, no. Being an open member is that's 0:07:15.340 --> 0:07:19.910 that's no way. No, they're sympathetic with their their policies. 0:07:20.210 --> 0:07:23.090 They are not openly members because they know that's poison. 0:07:23.470 --> 0:07:26.610 Abdul El-Sayed could get elected the president. Do they have 0:07:26.630 --> 0:07:29.650 a president of the DSA tomorrow? He is so down 0:07:29.690 --> 0:07:31.830 with their program. But he said, no, I'm not an 0:07:31.890 --> 0:07:33.740 active member. Come on. Come on. 0:07:34.700 --> 0:07:37.200 I think the vast majority of all those those districts 0:07:37.260 --> 0:07:39.720 all across Texas and all those different states, it's just. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.480 It's more regular. Who's been serving kind of the regular Democrat? Well, 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.640 first of all, just because you voted Democrat doesn't make 0:07:46.660 --> 0:07:48.820 you a Democrat. Yesterday, there's a whole bunch of people 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.900 that voted Democrat. There aren't that many Democrats. You're a 0:07:50.900 --> 0:07:55.090 Trump rejecter. Yeah, you're a Trump rejecter. Probably maybe a 0:07:55.130 --> 0:07:58.470 former Democrat, maybe a former Republican. Probably haven't been either 0:07:58.530 --> 0:08:02.030 party for many, many years. That's who won all those 0:08:02.610 --> 0:08:06.050 House seats all across the country. The interesting thing is. 0:08:07.550 --> 0:08:11.610 The redistricting ploy in Texas completely went the wrong direction. 0:08:12.530 --> 0:08:12.830 Whoops. 0:08:13.030 --> 0:08:16.940 Lost every single one of those. The what was the 0:08:16.980 --> 0:08:19.640 term they were using at the time? Dummy districting or 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.460 dummy mandering instead of gerrymandering. That's one of the problems 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.880 with the gerrymandering thing is you take a really solid 0:08:25.980 --> 0:08:28.230 district and spread it out to a whole bunch of 0:08:28.260 --> 0:08:33.189 other ones thinking you can, you know, put some of 0:08:33.250 --> 0:08:34.870 it here, put some of it here, put some turn 0:08:34.890 --> 0:08:38.490 it into five, win them all. But in a wave election, 0:08:38.530 --> 0:08:40.929 they're all weak districts and they all go. And that's 0:08:40.950 --> 0:08:42.750 what happened in Texas. Every single one of them. 0:08:43.570 --> 0:08:46.350 So getting back to the question of to what extent 0:08:46.370 --> 0:08:49.190 the far left gained ground, it is so difficult to tell. 0:08:49.210 --> 0:08:52.250 There are a handful of races I was following where 0:08:53.050 --> 0:08:57.170 the Democratic candidate absolutely tacked to the center for the 0:08:57.210 --> 0:09:01.190 purposes of running. But I know enough people like this, 0:09:01.250 --> 0:09:07.230 and I have studied them like a primatologist studies apes. 0:09:08.950 --> 0:09:11.429 a lot of these people said whatever it took to 0:09:11.470 --> 0:09:14.470 be in the in crowd during the woke thing. And 0:09:14.550 --> 0:09:17.189 so they have this history of saying the wokiest woke 0:09:17.290 --> 0:09:21.790 things from the woke apocalypse. To what extent did, do 0:09:21.830 --> 0:09:24.189 they really mean that? To what extent do they mean 0:09:24.370 --> 0:09:27.750 anything or do they just, as we often describe, as 0:09:27.809 --> 0:09:30.189 I often describe, do they view the entire world and 0:09:30.210 --> 0:09:33.290 policy through the lens of acceptability? They just go with 0:09:33.380 --> 0:09:36.070 what everybody around them is saying and, Because they want 0:09:36.090 --> 0:09:38.950 to go along to get along. So like the chick 0:09:38.990 --> 0:09:42.610 who beat down Luann from King of the Hill, Darlene Graham, 0:09:44.030 --> 0:09:46.750 she is on record as being super soft on the 0:09:46.809 --> 0:09:51.750 transgender stuff, really woke on that stuff. Now she says, oh, no, no, no, no, 0:09:52.130 --> 0:09:54.990 I didn't mean that stuff. What does she actually believe? 0:09:55.050 --> 0:09:59.209 Who knows? Here's one of my favorite tweets from somebody 0:09:59.250 --> 0:10:03.020 I'd never heard of before. Since I'm one of like 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.720 four limited government conservatives left in the entire country, here's 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.240 my election season reminder that if government did less and 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.620 spent less, election outcomes would matter less. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.340 That's true. 0:10:13.380 --> 0:10:16.080 If the government wasn't so all-pervasive and all-powerful and took 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.319 so much of your money, these elections wouldn't be as. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.000 Big a deal. I wish I'd thought to make that 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.729 point a million freaking times. Let's start the show officially, 0:10:25.130 --> 0:10:26.230 which makes a point also. 0:10:26.610 --> 0:10:29.850 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Wednesday, 0:10:30.330 --> 0:10:33.890 November 4th, the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and 0:10:33.929 --> 0:10:34.970 we approve of this year's program. 0:10:35.450 --> 0:10:38.530 All right, let's begin managing the inevitable decline, precisely according 0:10:38.590 --> 0:10:43.579 to FCC rules and regulations, impeaching the liars at mark. Well, 0:10:43.620 --> 0:10:46.819 I say this. Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.170 good job. They've been looking for this one for 11 years, 0:10:50.820 --> 0:10:53.240 and they finally got it. But I don't view it. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:54.640 As a hit on me. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:11:00.260 But I say congratulations to the Democrats. They worked very 0:11:00.300 --> 0:11:01.480 hard and long. 0:11:02.820 --> 0:11:07.340 As you heard it there, he's denying the election results. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.640 He has called in the Army. They've gone to polling places. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.500 They've grabbed the ballot boxes. As everyone predicted, Trump would 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.819 act when he lost. Made Tehran look like a May 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.540 Day parade. Can we get away? 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:21.900 The blood. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.360 Can we get away from acting like every election is 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:29.500 the last election of our lifetime? Can we do that? 0:11:29.540 --> 0:11:32.740 Can we just move past the whole era of that? 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.839 The Flight 93 election idea. 0:11:36.500 --> 0:11:40.330 Oh, my Lord. That's distasteful. But it's clear enough as 0:11:40.370 --> 0:11:43.530 a metaphor. I'd like to sit down with Chuck Schumer 0:11:43.550 --> 0:11:45.850 and ask him, that whole we're all going to die, 0:11:45.870 --> 0:11:48.720 the next election will be the last one, etc. Is 0:11:48.750 --> 0:11:52.819 that just like for 27 and unders? And he'd say, oh, yes, yes. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.600 They'll fall for anything. So you tell them, yes, you're 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.860 going to die if you don't vote Democrat. The rest 0:11:58.900 --> 0:12:01.300 of the people we have to make kind of an argument. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.839 But the youngsters, oh, they're so easy. 0:12:04.580 --> 0:12:06.260 Definitely once you get older and you've lived through a 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.120 whole bunch of these swings back and forth, all the 0:12:09.210 --> 0:12:12.630 cheering crowds acting like the world has changed forever in 0:12:12.650 --> 0:12:16.810 their direction. I mean, whatever. I remember when Obama was 0:12:16.870 --> 0:12:19.230 running and was really hot in 2008 and I live 0:12:19.250 --> 0:12:21.210 in a blue town and I'm, I'm certain this person 0:12:21.230 --> 0:12:22.830 was a Democrat, but I knew this young woman who 0:12:22.850 --> 0:12:25.620 wore a button that said, you're going to be disappointed. Um, 0:12:26.100 --> 0:12:30.100 and I thought, well, that's interesting. You are, you are, you're, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.500 if you're young and you're, and your team finally won 0:12:33.540 --> 0:12:38.059 and you think everything's fixed forever, you're going to be disappointed. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.099 The graft is going to flow in a slightly different 0:12:42.140 --> 0:12:45.160 direction and, Dumb policies are going to be enacted in 0:12:45.220 --> 0:12:46.040 a different way. 0:12:46.070 --> 0:12:49.230 There's an election every two years. Reagan lost eight Senate seats. 0:12:49.250 --> 0:12:50.069 Don't you threaten me. 0:12:50.550 --> 0:12:53.910 Reagan lost eight Senate seats in the midterm, won 49 0:12:53.910 --> 0:12:57.930 states two years later. Trump got hammered two years later. 0:12:58.090 --> 0:13:04.360 Obama lost 63 seats two years after everybody's cheering because 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.260 everything's fixed forever. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.140 He lost 63 freaking House. 0:13:06.980 --> 0:13:09.819 Seats, then got reelected. If Trump were on the ballot 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.240 to run again, I wouldn't bet against the idea that 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.480 he gets reelected in two years. That's how much we 0:13:14.500 --> 0:13:15.480 swing back and forth. 0:13:16.260 --> 0:13:20.280 Yeah, but oh, my God, his approval ratings are just historic. 0:13:21.260 --> 0:13:23.530 So was Reagan. He was like 40 or something like that. 0:13:23.910 --> 0:13:27.309 Fate 39 when it made the midterms came back and 0:13:27.570 --> 0:13:30.670 won 49 states. We are just we are just so 0:13:31.070 --> 0:13:32.929 flitty as a as an electorate. 0:13:33.410 --> 0:13:35.540 Just I thought you were going to do better than that. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.099 And then you go the other direction. Yeah. Of course, 0:13:38.700 --> 0:13:40.180 most of us don't go back and forth as we 0:13:40.210 --> 0:13:41.770 keep talking about it. It's the people that don't pay 0:13:41.790 --> 0:13:43.330 that much attention that swing back and forth. 0:13:43.770 --> 0:13:45.270 I saw a bunch of men on the street interviews 0:13:45.309 --> 0:13:47.349 last night, and every single person they talked to, I 0:13:47.370 --> 0:13:50.290 would describe as a practically no information voter. 0:13:50.830 --> 0:13:50.990 Yeah. 0:13:51.510 --> 0:13:53.650 But one more thought, then we need to take a break. 0:13:53.690 --> 0:13:55.920 Your scenario where if Trump were running again, he could 0:13:55.980 --> 0:13:59.640 actually win again. For that to happen, the Democrats would 0:13:59.700 --> 0:14:04.110 have to run an absolute idiot campaign. So pretty good chance. 0:14:04.130 --> 0:14:05.309 There you go. That's what I'm saying. 0:14:05.490 --> 0:14:05.710 Yeah. 0:14:05.790 --> 0:14:07.670 You got, you know, you're not running against God almighty 0:14:07.730 --> 0:14:09.650 is the late Joe Biden used to say, Oh, he's 0:14:09.670 --> 0:14:10.209 still alive. 0:14:10.630 --> 0:14:10.850 Okay. 0:14:10.870 --> 0:14:13.810 Well, technically we got Katie's headlines next. 0:14:14.990 --> 0:14:17.170 Armstrong and. 0:14:19.890 --> 0:14:23.500 Getty. 0:14:23.510 --> 0:14:25.170 The Armstrong and Getty show. 0:14:27.900 --> 0:14:33.080 Voters overwhelmingly rejected data centers across the country. Big blow 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.920 to the world of AI. So was that one of 0:14:35.940 --> 0:14:38.040 your headlines, Katie? I'm sorry. 0:14:38.890 --> 0:14:39.310 Do it again. 0:14:39.390 --> 0:14:42.610 Do it anyway. Do it every time. Do it anyway 0:14:42.670 --> 0:14:44.970 and then pretend I didn't say it. We'll all pretend 0:14:45.010 --> 0:14:46.190 I didn't say it. Okay. 0:14:46.630 --> 0:14:49.950 Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story 0:14:50.010 --> 0:14:52.140 with the victimized Katie Green. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:52.400 Katie? 0:14:52.420 --> 0:14:55.060 It's because I'm a woman, huh? It's because you're a woman. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.100 That's the only reason I do it. 0:14:56.620 --> 0:14:59.540 Oh, the ugly head of misogyny. All right. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.300 Shocking. All of the alphabet networks sticking with the midterms. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:05.640 ABC. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.210 Trump says he was a little bit surprised after Democrats 0:15:08.250 --> 0:15:11.930 win big. NBC wants me to subscribe. 0:15:12.010 --> 0:15:12.729 Absolutely not. 0:15:12.850 --> 0:15:13.450 NBC. 0:15:14.710 --> 0:15:19.970 Democrats capture full control of Congress. NBC News projects fueled 0:15:20.030 --> 0:15:25.770 by victories in deeply Republican states. And CNN, a historic 0:15:25.890 --> 0:15:27.990 blue wave in all caps. 0:15:28.230 --> 0:15:30.290 I wasn't surprised at all by the blue wave because 0:15:30.330 --> 0:15:32.390 we had that information yesterday morning. That's one of the 0:15:32.430 --> 0:15:35.890 reasons you should listen. But Texas surprised me as thoroughly 0:15:36.230 --> 0:15:37.190 as Texas went blue. 0:15:37.250 --> 0:15:37.510 Wow. 0:15:39.590 --> 0:15:43.530 New York Times facing return to war. More Iranians want 0:15:43.630 --> 0:15:44.630 a nuclear missile. 0:15:47.660 --> 0:15:51.340 The Iran war. What exit polling said about that issue 0:15:51.700 --> 0:15:55.330 is interesting. We'll talk about that later. Washington Post. 0:15:55.810 --> 0:15:59.510 Voters reject data centers across the country. 0:15:59.590 --> 0:16:02.989 I haven't heard that. Fascinating. Shut up. 0:16:04.370 --> 0:16:07.500 Across the country as the AI backlash grows. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.560 That is something, though. That is something. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:11.900 We've got to figure that out. 0:16:12.700 --> 0:16:15.240 We are a country full of jerking knees. I'll tell 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.100 you what. We are. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.280 Reading Chinese bots. 0:16:20.110 --> 0:16:20.370 Yeah. 0:16:21.630 --> 0:16:22.250 Wall Street Journal. 0:16:22.900 --> 0:16:27.180 Americans cut back on boats and RVs but can't stop 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.940 buying Harley Davidsons. 0:16:29.620 --> 0:16:32.000 Wow. Harley's doing great. 0:16:34.380 --> 0:16:35.090 Daily Mail. 0:16:35.900 --> 0:16:40.890 Passenger slams airport store for charging mandatory, quote, employee and 0:16:40.970 --> 0:16:44.470 retention fee despite using the self-checkout counter. 0:16:46.330 --> 0:16:49.450 Now you have to pay for the kiosks. 0:16:51.590 --> 0:16:51.930 All right. 0:16:54.210 --> 0:16:55.630 New York Post. 0:16:56.650 --> 0:17:00.240 New York dog moms are lavishing pooches with $ 100, 000 a 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.020 year luxury retreats and themed birthday parties. 0:17:03.460 --> 0:17:05.300 Okay, if you have a themed birthday party for your dog, 0:17:05.340 --> 0:17:08.080 I do want you taxed at a higher rate. I'm sorry, 0:17:08.100 --> 0:17:09.359 I have to go against my own principles. 0:17:09.980 --> 0:17:13.439 Well, people, people, no, no, private enterprises figuring out how 0:17:13.460 --> 0:17:15.840 to steal these people's money, and I say go for it. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.480 That's a good point. Don't give it to the government. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.600 That's a good point. Yeah, you want a themed birthday 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.120 party for your dog? You got it. Name the date. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.450 And finally, the Babylon Bee. Vote goes uncounted after woman 0:17:26.530 --> 0:17:29.850 fails to post a selfie with her, quote, I voted sticker. 0:17:30.350 --> 0:17:34.230 That's part of the requirement, constitutionally. We've got so much more. 0:17:34.290 --> 0:17:35.909 Stay here. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.580 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:54.109 --> 0:17:58.770 My name is Abdulrahman Muhammad Al-Sayed. 0:18:04.300 --> 0:18:08.220 And I am so proud and honored to stand here 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:14.820 as your senator-elect from the great state of Michigan. Up 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:19.100 until right about now, you might have noticed I always say, inshallah, 0:18:19.220 --> 0:18:23.119 or God willing, whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned, 0:18:24.250 --> 0:18:26.470 But today, tonight, we can. 0:18:26.390 --> 0:18:34.379 Turn that, inshallah, into alhamdulillah. Super. 0:18:35.780 --> 0:18:37.980 Well, it wouldn't be such a big deal that we 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.160 elect the Muslim senator who comes out there and does 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.119 his name like that and everything like that if he 0:18:44.180 --> 0:18:47.090 was also a, I'm so happy my family came to 0:18:47.130 --> 0:18:49.869 this country, I love America, blah, blah, blah, as opposed 0:18:49.890 --> 0:18:52.270 to a guy who hates the country and everything we do. 0:18:52.290 --> 0:18:52.430 Right. 0:18:53.530 --> 0:18:58.070 Yeah, Muslim and Islamist are two different things. And America 0:18:58.190 --> 0:19:00.510 is about to learn this, I think. To be a 0:19:00.530 --> 0:19:03.209 Muslim or Islam is a religion. It's a personal religion. 0:19:03.430 --> 0:19:06.409 It's fine. An Islamist believes in the fundamentalist version of 0:19:06.490 --> 0:19:09.550 Islam that says Islam should be in charge of everything 0:19:09.970 --> 0:19:14.510 and that Muslims and non-Muslims are treated very, very differently 0:19:14.590 --> 0:19:19.209 under the law. Non-Muslims are allowed to keep their blood 0:19:19.390 --> 0:19:23.730 in them But only under very specific and limited circumstances. 0:19:24.670 --> 0:19:28.159 It's awful. Awful. It's the most dangerous political movement on 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.200 earth by far. Jim Garrity writes for the National Review. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.800 And if you don't follow the National Review or whatever, 0:19:34.260 --> 0:19:39.060 Garrity is a very reasonable, amiable, funny, very smart guy. 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:40.940 But he's the kind of guy you could picture being 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.510 a great neighbor and you'd laugh in your your driveway 0:19:43.550 --> 0:19:46.929 having a beer together and he wrote a column uh 0:19:47.109 --> 0:19:50.909 islamism is on the ballot and he goes over the 0:19:50.970 --> 0:19:56.780 whole uh objectionable horrific chink wieger tv ad that it 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.100 was the jews causing high prices and and uh and 0:20:00.619 --> 0:20:03.300 as he put it even a certain failed german painter 0:20:03.340 --> 0:20:06.750 would have found the ad's message a little heavy-handed And 0:20:06.790 --> 0:20:09.810 he goes through that, but then he goes on. And 0:20:09.830 --> 0:20:13.470 this is worth, I think, checking off this list. 0:20:13.820 --> 0:20:16.380 Did we make it clear El-Sayed won in Michigan last night? 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:17.820 Oh, yeah. We don't want to be too hip for 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:18.100 the room. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.199 He is going to be the Democratic senator. It's not 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.500 surprising to have a Democrat win in Michigan. In fact, 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.560 a Republican hasn't won in a very, very long time. 0:20:25.619 --> 0:20:29.369 But having a guy who's so anti-Israel as him and 0:20:29.410 --> 0:20:33.770 so comfortable with all the socialism stuff win. And he 0:20:33.810 --> 0:20:35.590 won easily. About, what, eight, nine points? 0:20:35.609 --> 0:20:35.709 Yeah. 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.119 Yeah, he whooped up on Mike Rogers. Yeah, absolutely true. So, 0:20:41.050 --> 0:20:43.430 and Garrity's main point is, if you're a Jewish American 0:20:43.490 --> 0:20:45.890 for whom the continued existence of Israel as a Jewish 0:20:45.930 --> 0:20:48.970 state is important, it's getting increasingly difficult to remain in 0:20:48.990 --> 0:20:51.430 the Democratic Party. And he points out it's not just 0:20:51.510 --> 0:20:55.149 Abdul El-Sayed or New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani in 0:20:55.190 --> 0:20:57.720 his declaration that he has no opinion about the future 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:01.600 of Hamas. It's Milet Kouros, all but certain to be 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.900 Colorado's first to be elected, declining to describe a Molotov 0:21:06.980 --> 0:21:12.110 cocktail attack on a Gaza hostage demonstration. He declined to 0:21:12.910 --> 0:21:16.070 describe that as an act of anti-Semitism. She did. Stating 0:21:16.150 --> 0:21:19.690 she did not know the perpetrator's intention or the protesters' beliefs. 0:21:20.270 --> 0:21:23.090 They were demonstrating on behalf of the hostages in Gaza. 0:21:23.550 --> 0:21:27.770 It is unsuccessful Texas Democratic House candidate Maureen Galindo contending 0:21:28.170 --> 0:21:31.650 we have Israeli Zionists who are influencing our local politics 0:21:31.670 --> 0:21:34.229 and our South Texas politics. Do you know that ICE 0:21:34.330 --> 0:21:37.740 trains with the IDF in Israel? It's the Democratic Socialists 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:43.480 of America Liberation Caucus, a self-described Marxist-Leninist-Maoist caucus within the DSA, 0:21:43.900 --> 0:21:47.710 calling for the release of Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners. 0:21:48.190 --> 0:21:52.610 Elias Rodriguez shot and murdered Yaron Lashinsky and Sarah Lynn 0:21:52.670 --> 0:21:56.070 Milgram in cold blood after they left the young diplomat's 0:21:56.109 --> 0:21:59.600
