WEBVTT - What Language Do You Need?! 0:00:06.620 --> 0:00:10.600 Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at 0:00:10.619 --> 0:00:12.810 the George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:12.910 --> 0:00:15.090 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:15.290 --> 0:00:16.590 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:16.790 --> 0:00:17.110 And now. 0:00:31.460 --> 0:00:37.300 Jeez, thank God it's almost over live from Studio C. Si, senor. 0:00:37.460 --> 0:00:40.080 A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the 0:00:40.140 --> 0:00:44.420 Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. It's actually a polling place. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.460 The Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. So there'll be a 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.540 lot of people coming in and out throughout the day voting. 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.080 And we make them show their ID. Yeah, and then, 0:00:53.100 --> 0:00:54.760 you know, while I'm trying to do this show, I 0:00:54.780 --> 0:00:57.040 got to, like, check their ballots and all that sort 0:00:57.060 --> 0:00:57.380 of stuff. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.819 It's kind of annoying. Anyway, today we are toiling under 0:00:59.860 --> 0:01:02.120 the title of the show. There is somebody voting right now. 0:01:02.340 --> 0:01:08.700 Yes. Yes. She doesn't speak English. I have no idea 0:01:08.740 --> 0:01:10.560 if this is a citizen or not. What language do 0:01:10.610 --> 0:01:16.850 you need the ballot? What language do you need? Maybe 0:01:16.890 --> 0:01:19.050 we should prop that door open so it doesn't click 0:01:19.110 --> 0:01:20.830 open and close like that. I don't know what that 0:01:20.870 --> 0:01:23.890 language is. They have no ID. All right. 0:01:23.940 --> 0:01:24.110 No. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.209 Funny. Anyway, we're toiling under the title of the show today. 0:01:28.709 --> 0:01:32.729 One title. Only one title today. Unifying title. E Pluribus title. 0:01:34.010 --> 0:01:37.520 This is the most important election of this week. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.060 Am I wrong? 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.720 I guess I should come over by the microphone. Whatever. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.940 Am I wrong? Or did midterms used to not get 0:01:48.970 --> 0:01:51.920 this much attention? I feel like midterms used to come 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.580 and go. You barely knew they were happening. That might 0:01:56.660 --> 0:02:00.500 overstate it somewhat. But yes, the fever pitch of it 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.830 in the age of hyperbole has definitely boiled to the top. 0:02:06.570 --> 0:02:08.809 I have two theories on that. Yeah, go ahead. 0:02:09.870 --> 0:02:13.110 One, of course, Trump drives everything. But the whole, it's 0:02:13.150 --> 0:02:16.950 our national television show. We don't have any other shared experiences. 0:02:17.550 --> 0:02:23.149 This is our national obsession. Politics is our national television show. 0:02:23.690 --> 0:02:25.510 Well, that's part of it. The other part of it 0:02:25.620 --> 0:02:28.820 is that it's our identity as well as human beings 0:02:29.740 --> 0:02:32.660 in a way that was never true before. As we've 0:02:32.740 --> 0:02:35.859 reviewed many times, it's worth repeating. If you asked somebody 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.510 not very long ago, Not very long ago at all. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.600 We'll say the 90s. Tell me about yourself. Give me 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.940 a list of five things that tells me who you are. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.780 Politics might not make the list at all. And if 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.280 it did, it would be number five at best. Now 0:02:52.340 --> 0:02:54.760 it's like number one or two for everybody. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.260 Damn it. 0:02:55.900 --> 0:03:00.360 I've been watching the evening news every night my whole life. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.450 And I don't remember every single night the whole episode 0:03:05.510 --> 0:03:10.350 being about midterm elections. Ever? I would have not watched 0:03:10.430 --> 0:03:13.049 it because I wouldn't have cared. So I just I 0:03:13.090 --> 0:03:15.980 don't I don't get it. But I guess you explained it. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.660 I care. I care deeply. Well, also, and again, another factor. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.060 My God, I have to keep repeating myself. Why am 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:30.470 I teaching this remedial class? The gulf between the parties 0:03:30.610 --> 0:03:38.080 policy wise is the widest it's been since 1861. Vote R, 0:03:38.140 --> 0:03:42.000 vote D 30 years ago. Small tweaks around the edges. 0:03:42.020 --> 0:03:44.420 A little more emphasis on this. A little less emphasis 0:03:44.500 --> 0:03:48.850 on that. Fine. Now you've either got grown-ass men showing 0:03:48.890 --> 0:03:55.810 their genitals to your 8-year-old girl and welfare, sex changes 0:03:55.870 --> 0:03:59.030 for illegal immigrants, or you've got whatever the hell Trump 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:05.100 is at this point. So that's the other aspect of it. Oh, 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.720 you're worried about. 0:04:07.210 --> 0:04:11.170 Grown-ass men showing their genitals to your children? I've got 0:04:11.190 --> 0:04:13.650 a response to that. You have a cell phone in 0:04:13.670 --> 0:04:15.490 your pocket, don't you? Is it a Samsung or is 0:04:15.530 --> 0:04:18.010 it an iPhone? We ought to run that again. Look, 0:04:18.029 --> 0:04:23.230 you're carrying a cell phone in your pocket. Abdul Al-Said's 0:04:23.290 --> 0:04:29.310 bizarre answer to the gender-bending madness question on 60 Minutes, 0:04:29.390 --> 0:04:35.770 specifically on boys running roughshod over little girls on sports fields. 0:04:36.130 --> 0:04:37.630 You know, one thing that didn't get left out of 0:04:37.830 --> 0:04:41.890 our October surprise, which actually ended up being November surprises 0:04:41.950 --> 0:04:45.750 in a couple of cases. That was the surprise. They 0:04:45.770 --> 0:04:50.290 got you. Oh, October's over. No surprises. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.360 And then day one of November, boom. Because we have 0:04:55.460 --> 0:04:58.700 voting month now, which is a terrible idea. Like half 0:04:58.779 --> 0:05:00.880 the votes in in all the states where they had 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.120 the November surprise. 0:05:02.140 --> 0:05:04.400 It's hard to have it. It's still going to take 0:05:04.500 --> 0:05:06.420 weeks to figure out, you know, most of the Western 0:05:06.460 --> 0:05:10.080 states for some reason. That's worth letting you know is 0:05:10.140 --> 0:05:14.970 that the last two house races, 24 and 22, took 0:05:15.029 --> 0:05:20.640 them eight days to call who won. had control of 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.830 the House. So don't be expecting that. 0:05:23.210 --> 0:05:25.529 If you grew up like I did, if you always 0:05:25.550 --> 0:05:28.750 had the result that night before you went to bed, 0:05:28.770 --> 0:05:33.360 that ain't going to happen. I love the states where 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:38.200 they don't open the mail-in ballots until the polls close. 0:05:38.540 --> 0:05:42.279 What is the theory on that? What is that? Why 0:05:42.300 --> 0:05:45.150 do you do that? Oh, you know, Wanda, the votes 0:05:45.210 --> 0:05:49.340 counted and leaks and affecting turnout or something, something. You know, 0:05:49.420 --> 0:05:52.000 Florida does it. The minute they get them, they count them, 0:05:52.020 --> 0:05:56.039 they tabulate them. They just don't distribute that information. Works perfectly. 0:05:56.380 --> 0:06:00.430 Works great. States that make you show I.D. works perfectly. 0:06:00.690 --> 0:06:04.270 Works great. States that limit who get an absentee ballot 0:06:04.290 --> 0:06:06.390 and you've got to reapply for it every two years 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.000 or whatever. Works great. Works absolutely perfectly. The idea of 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:16.599 election six weeks where we blanket the landscape with mail-in 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.580 votes and you vote when and where you please. No, 0:06:20.860 --> 0:06:24.560 that's not healthy for reasons we're going to do a 0:06:24.580 --> 0:06:29.080 little more later. And not just the logistical stuff. It 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.850 takes so freaking long to figure out who won an 0:06:31.089 --> 0:06:34.089 election and the potential for vote fraud, which is vast. 0:06:34.670 --> 0:06:35.490 It's just, it's not. 0:06:37.230 --> 0:06:41.310 You lose the coming together aspect of the election that 0:06:41.670 --> 0:06:46.200 I think is more spiritually important than people realize or contemplate. 0:06:47.580 --> 0:06:50.839 The only interesting thing I've heard today, because I took 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.560 in a lot of broadcast media and all of it 0:06:53.620 --> 0:06:58.330 was completely useless election information. 0:06:58.450 --> 0:07:02.960 And I mean completely useless information. You couldn't even stretch 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.360 to pretend that there was any value in any of 0:07:06.380 --> 0:07:09.000 the things they were saying on any of the shows. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.780 No use. So why are you doing it? Don't you 0:07:13.820 --> 0:07:17.870 know it's useless? It's completely useless. Anyway, the only interesting 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.110 thing I came across was Trump did go on Hannity 0:07:20.150 --> 0:07:21.570 yesterday and say at the end of the year, we're 0:07:21.590 --> 0:07:25.010 not giving any more military aid to Israel. That comes 0:07:25.050 --> 0:07:29.030 to an end. Our $ 4 billion annual aid to Israel 0:07:29.110 --> 0:07:31.950 comes to an end. That's an idiotic decision. One in 0:07:31.990 --> 0:07:34.570 a series. Way to go. Netanyahu was for it, if 0:07:34.590 --> 0:07:37.390 you'll remember, a month or so ago. He thinks it's 0:07:37.450 --> 0:07:40.370 both in both cases. It's they just think it'd be 0:07:40.450 --> 0:07:43.410 it'd be better for Israel politically to not be getting 0:07:43.450 --> 0:07:46.610 any aid so that people can't, you know, do their whole. 0:07:46.890 --> 0:07:50.390 That's why eggs are expensive. All right. So I will 0:07:51.190 --> 0:07:55.710 extend and revise my comments, Mr. Chairman. That is an 0:07:55.870 --> 0:08:01.530 incredibly unfortunate decision. Well, it's a perhaps sound decision based 0:08:01.690 --> 0:08:06.570 on an incredibly unfortunate and psychotic state of political affairs. 0:08:08.770 --> 0:08:11.950 I think Netanyahu is for it because of what I 0:08:12.050 --> 0:08:15.970 just said. Israel's in such bad shape in terms of 0:08:16.690 --> 0:08:18.970 its approval in the United States at this point. They 0:08:18.990 --> 0:08:20.550 don't want to be getting any money, so you can't 0:08:20.610 --> 0:08:23.650 hang that around them. Yeah, yeah. You know, this is 0:08:23.710 --> 0:08:26.930 a disappointing midterm election for Katie and me. We were 0:08:26.950 --> 0:08:30.150 working on a project where we would send correspondence to 0:08:30.380 --> 0:08:33.260 each of the swing states that everybody's paying attention to. 0:08:33.700 --> 0:08:36.579 And we would go to them and they would each 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.120 tell us what everybody already knows. And we would go 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.600 around in the circle to each one of them all 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:47.160 day long, just over and over again. Katie had them 0:08:47.220 --> 0:08:50.220 coached up on saying gas and diesel prices were going 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.949 to be a big factor. It was artwork, to be honest. Oh, 0:08:53.950 --> 0:08:56.980 it was all, but we couldn't get funding. Oh, geez. 0:08:58.250 --> 0:09:02.820 Really disappointing. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It is 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:10.140 just unbelievable. I also think it's interesting that I've been 0:09:10.179 --> 0:09:13.440 watching Mark Halperin's YouTube show. It's like a TV show, 0:09:13.460 --> 0:09:16.300 but it's on YouTube every day. He says he doesn't 0:09:16.340 --> 0:09:19.079 even look at the public polls that everybody talks about endlessly. 0:09:19.100 --> 0:09:20.180 He says, I don't even look at them. 0:09:20.950 --> 0:09:23.790 Because the private polls are so much better. And those 0:09:23.830 --> 0:09:25.510 are the ones that tell you what's going to actually happen. 0:09:25.530 --> 0:09:28.860 So it's funny that the whole world of politics looks 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.459 at the polls, that experts who have better info, I don't. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.819 Even look at them. There's no, what's the point. Right. Right. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.740 My wife actually asked me about that, uh, yesterday or no, 0:09:39.860 --> 0:09:43.319 it was today about, um, you know, the polls show 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.760 this race dead even, and she's not terribly political. Uh, 0:09:47.820 --> 0:09:51.240 God bless her. Um, And I explained that, look, you've 0:09:51.260 --> 0:09:54.000 got a fairly significant margin for error. You have to 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.450 overweight every Republican respondee because they don't respond as often 0:09:57.470 --> 0:09:59.489 as Democrats. You've got the problem of reaching people on 0:09:59.510 --> 0:10:02.189 cell phones. Their accuracy is declining. And so you've got 0:10:02.210 --> 0:10:05.750 a couple of blobs of it's within like six or 0:10:05.809 --> 0:10:10.100 seven points of here. And then the blobs intersect. And 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.340 maybe this blob is correct. Maybe it's at the far 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.380 left of that blob and the far right of that one. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.640 And then you can say it's tied. But maybe it's 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.300 at the far right of this one and the far 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.480 left of that one. And they're actually 11 points apart. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:29.330 It's just blobs. So it's fine. It's just it's just yeah, 0:10:29.390 --> 0:10:34.429 it's it's not pinpoints is my my point. Well, as 0:10:34.490 --> 0:10:40.170 I mentioned yesterday. The internal polling from the campaigns, which 0:10:40.250 --> 0:10:43.790 is significantly better because they have all the interest in 0:10:43.820 --> 0:10:47.100 the world figuring out exactly who's voting on every block 0:10:47.140 --> 0:10:51.460 and every town. is that everything has been breaking toward 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.470 the Democrats last week or so. I just read where 0:10:56.660 --> 0:11:00.590 late deciders are breaking heavily toward Republicans. So you can 0:11:00.690 --> 0:11:05.690 take your liberal polls and shove them, Mr. Well, these 0:11:05.710 --> 0:11:08.870 are from Republicans, these liberal polls here. You can take 0:11:08.929 --> 0:11:12.170 your rhino polls and shove them, mister. 0:11:12.380 --> 0:11:15.939 All I will say is Mark Halpern was the only 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.000 person anywhere in America that was actually not just spouting 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.660 his opinion, was actually going with information, who was saying 0:11:22.700 --> 0:11:26.140 before the Trump election, Trump's going to win all the 0:11:26.179 --> 0:11:29.820 swing states. And I don't understand why everybody's not talking 0:11:29.860 --> 0:11:32.040 about this. He said that for weeks leading up to 0:11:32.090 --> 0:11:36.380 the election. Because that's what all the internal polling showed. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.320 They have way better polling than whatever you're looking at 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.380 in the New York Times or, you know, Quinnipiac or whatever. 0:11:43.220 --> 0:11:46.640 The people that make their livings, keep their jobs by 0:11:46.700 --> 0:11:49.160 figuring out what's going to happen, have better polling. 0:11:49.340 --> 0:11:52.160 And their polling this time around says everything's breaking toward 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.580 the Democrats at the last minute. I'm not comfortable with 0:11:55.660 --> 0:11:59.490 the term internal polling. Can we find a different term? 0:12:01.890 --> 0:12:05.890 I feel threatened by it. Triggered. Triggered, exactly. I feel triggered, yeah. 0:12:06.130 --> 0:12:09.050 Or not safe. You don't feel safe with that. Right, yeah, 0:12:09.090 --> 0:12:11.600 you've made me feel unsafe. There you go. What's worth 0:12:11.650 --> 0:12:13.900 noting is this is radio, and we're not doing lots 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.400 of video yet on YouTube and other places and the socials. 0:12:19.260 --> 0:12:23.380 I am wearing my F-Y'all-ican party T-shirt in honor of 0:12:23.460 --> 0:12:24.059 Election Day. 0:12:24.730 --> 0:12:26.890 And I, of course, am wearing an Uncle Sam uniform, 0:12:26.910 --> 0:12:29.260 as I always do on Election Day. Let's start the 0:12:29.300 --> 0:12:31.000 show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:12:31.059 --> 0:12:32.949 He's Joe Getty. On this, it is getting to be 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.090 already Tuesday, November the 3rd, the year 2026. We're Armstrong 0:12:37.150 --> 0:12:39.690 and Getty, and we approve of this program. Let's begin then, officially, 0:12:39.710 --> 0:12:41.890 according to FCC rules and regs. Here we go. It's 0:12:41.929 --> 0:12:43.770 an Election Day special at Mark. 0:12:43.890 --> 0:12:45.110 You're going to zoom in. You're going to zoom in 0:12:45.170 --> 0:12:47.870 and get up here to 9321 Triangle Circle. That's what 0:12:47.910 --> 0:12:50.390 they call it, right around Nick and Jack Farms. Everyone 0:12:50.429 --> 0:12:52.250 knows that Nick and Jack Farms has always been Kerry 0:12:52.290 --> 0:12:53.750 Trump ever since 1884 when he only won 42%. 0:12:53.710 --> 0:12:54.050 Of the vote. 0:12:55.620 --> 0:12:56.939 We're going to go south. We're going to head our 0:12:56.980 --> 0:12:58.400 way south. We're going to zoom in a little bit. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.260 Right there, there's a green patch. We call this Elms 0:13:00.300 --> 0:13:02.699 Country Club. Back in the day, Elms Country Club is where, 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.260 of course, Hamilton lost the duel with Washington. Everyone knows 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.280 this is a huge Republican mainstay. We're going to back 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.100 up a little bit. I never stop talking. I always 0:13:10.140 --> 0:13:11.099 just keep moving the map. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.660 It's going to be a lot of that this afternoon. Oh, 0:13:14.730 --> 0:13:17.150 and that's the short version of that bit. Oh, my God, 0:13:17.190 --> 0:13:19.010 I got tears in my eyes. That is so good. 0:13:19.030 --> 0:13:20.450 It's going to be a lot of that this afternoon. 0:13:20.470 --> 0:13:21.910 And if you feel like you get something out of 0:13:21.950 --> 0:13:24.250 people doing that, rather than just waiting to see who won, 0:13:24.270 --> 0:13:24.830 then go ahead and. 0:13:24.790 --> 0:13:28.319 Knock yourself out. Seriously, we will tell you when, you know, 0:13:28.380 --> 0:13:31.060 various states close and when you're likely to know anything, 0:13:31.100 --> 0:13:33.020 because there's like a third of the populace of the 0:13:33.059 --> 0:13:36.250 country that they won't even be done like midday tomorrow. 0:13:36.309 --> 0:13:37.350 They go for days. 0:13:37.429 --> 0:13:37.729 Right. 0:13:38.170 --> 0:13:38.630 Really? 0:13:39.309 --> 0:13:42.250 Yes. Really? Katie's Headlines next. Stay here. 0:13:43.750 --> 0:13:49.650 Armstrong and. 0:13:49.340 --> 0:13:51.120 Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:54.030 --> 0:13:57.890 A couple of old school conservative stalwarts like Peggy Noonan 0:13:57.990 --> 0:14:02.350 and George Will in major publications are sort of embracing 0:14:02.470 --> 0:14:05.310 slash rooting for a bad night for the Republicans tonight 0:14:05.790 --> 0:14:08.510 with the idea that there's an entire remake of the 0:14:08.550 --> 0:14:14.309 whole conservative movement afoot. Let's start over from scratch. I 0:14:14.309 --> 0:14:17.430 don't know if that's going to happen. Well, let's talk 0:14:17.490 --> 0:14:19.990 about that and I will ruin it. So stay tuned 0:14:20.030 --> 0:14:22.460 for that. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the 0:14:22.500 --> 0:14:25.980 lead story with Katie Green. Katie, hit it. Big shocker. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.380 Lead story. All the alphabet networks. The midterms. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.260 We'll just do CNNs in all caps. America heads to 0:14:33.300 --> 0:14:36.500 the polls. Yeah, that's the way it ought to be. 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.420 CBS News. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.280 Trump says peace deal still possible with United States as 0:14:45.380 --> 0:14:49.420 United States launches limited strikes on eve of elections. 0:14:51.210 --> 0:14:53.030 Yeah, we've been hitting them now and then and not 0:14:53.330 --> 0:14:56.410 announcing it, which is interesting. Yeah, just kind of lawn 0:14:56.750 --> 0:15:00.630 mowing forays, as they say, just keeping their ability to 0:15:00.670 --> 0:15:04.890 threaten shipping in our bases at bay. Somebody asked Trump 0:15:04.910 --> 0:15:06.330 the other day, is there going to be an attack 0:15:06.390 --> 0:15:09.270 after the midterm? He said no. I mean, he just 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.820 stated it, and it's not getting much attention. Of course, 0:15:11.860 --> 0:15:15.160 he says all sorts of stuff. From the Washington Post. 0:15:15.810 --> 0:15:22.050 Nearly $ 1. 9 billion traded on midterms in booming prediction markets. 0:15:22.650 --> 0:15:23.050 Oh, yeah. 0:15:23.090 --> 0:15:25.210 The prediction markets are huge on this. We can tell 0:15:25.230 --> 0:15:25.810 you where they are. 0:15:28.010 --> 0:15:31.970 From the New York Times. Are freezers being hacked? Europe 0:15:32.090 --> 0:15:34.590 and the United States military investigate. 0:15:35.070 --> 0:15:36.190 What are you going to get out of hacking from 0:15:36.210 --> 0:15:38.270 my freezer? You going to thaw out my meat ahead 0:15:38.290 --> 0:15:41.630 of time? No, they're attacking grocery stores, freezers, and fridges 0:15:41.690 --> 0:15:43.430 all over Europe, and they're having to throw away all 0:15:43.450 --> 0:15:43.910 the food. 0:15:43.950 --> 0:15:44.390 Wow. 0:15:44.450 --> 0:15:44.630 Yeah. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.080 From the Wall Street Journal, people are using AI for 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.880 divorce advice, and it's driving their lawyers crazy. 0:15:53.660 --> 0:16:00.250 Oh, I'll be darned. I've done that myself. Mm-hmm. 0:16:00.270 --> 0:16:03.730 Your chatbot doesn't have an interest in dragging it out 0:16:03.810 --> 0:16:05.090 to get more billable hours. 0:16:06.930 --> 0:16:10.730 That's funny. That wasn't the lawyers. Take it all. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 0:16:12.690 --> 0:16:13.370 New York Post. 0:16:13.990 --> 0:16:18.210 AI-powered glasses could eliminate talking at work, but experts fear 0:16:18.310 --> 0:16:21.670 privacy concerns, quote, you never have to type. 0:16:21.630 --> 0:16:25.360 Or speak again. Oh, that'd be great for human beings. 0:16:25.620 --> 0:16:27.560 What the F are we doing here? I want to 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.100 talk about that one. How do you write that headline 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:34.340 with a straight face? Never have to talk again. Great, 0:16:34.380 --> 0:16:39.960 your brain will atrophy. What the hell? The monkey that 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:44.080 got too smart for its own good. Who are you 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:48.380 calling a monkey? Study finds. 0:16:49.300 --> 0:16:55.280 Study links regular cold showers to 26% fewer sick days. 0:16:57.660 --> 0:17:01.430 Toughen you up. It's like the cold plunge thing. I 0:17:01.450 --> 0:17:04.949 could do a chilly shower. The cold plunge ain't happening. 0:17:04.990 --> 0:17:06.930 I'd have a heart attack and die. We should talk 0:17:06.950 --> 0:17:07.970 about that, too. I have a theory. 0:17:07.990 --> 0:17:08.890 All right. 0:17:09.830 --> 0:17:11.670 And finally, the Babylon Bee. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:19.840 Decades of recycling progress undone by single midterm election. And 0:17:19.900 --> 0:17:23.280 it's got a picture with all of the campaign signs 0:17:23.859 --> 0:17:25.300 all over along. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.639 Maybe it was visual. We got this text. Quit talking 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:30.440 about it. Drives me nuts. Do sports talk. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.610 Talk about cats, anything, but don't dwell on the stuff 0:17:32.619 --> 0:17:34.290 that you've already determined. 0:17:37.030 --> 0:17:38.670 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.869 Martha Stewart is apologizing after posting and later deleting a 0:17:43.970 --> 0:17:47.170 photo of herself in a Halloween costume holding a sign 0:17:47.210 --> 0:17:51.109 that read, I am hungry, help me. Amid backlash, the 0:17:51.150 --> 0:17:53.390 lifestyle guru addressed the costume. 0:17:52.970 --> 0:17:54.429 But didn't fully apologize. 0:17:54.810 --> 0:17:58.070 But as the controversy grew, Stewart issued another more direct 0:17:58.130 --> 0:18:00.900 apology saying in part, it's hard to admit when you've 0:18:00.940 --> 0:18:03.580 really screwed up. She added, wearing a costume like I 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.619 did was insensitive and not funny. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:11.230 I am very sorry. Now there's a news story. I'm 0:18:11.250 --> 0:18:14.010 going to demand an apology for the apology. What are 0:18:14.030 --> 0:18:18.040 you apologizing for? Martha Stewart dresses up as a hobo 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:19.740 for Halloween. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.740 And then people complain because that's what people do. And 0:18:24.770 --> 0:18:28.410 then she apologizes grovingly, grovingly. 0:18:29.590 --> 0:18:34.060 Uh, we'll give you a few minutes to work on that. Uh, yeah, yeah. 0:18:34.180 --> 0:18:37.960 If you're offended, you have power. If you're aggrieved, you 0:18:38.020 --> 0:18:40.040 have the floor. No, shut up. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.359 Why do people apologize for this stuff? Do you realize 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.460 how long you have to wait for it to blow over? 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:49.090 Like another five minutes. Shut up, jackass. That's my apology. 0:18:49.490 --> 0:18:51.830 Good God, things come and go so fast in the 0:18:51.869 --> 0:18:55.980 modern world. Why does anybody react to any of this stuff? Again, 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.100 you got to apologize for the apology now, unless you 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:04.780 got a couple of hot stock tips for me. Thug life. 0:19:06.330 --> 0:19:09.090 We did have the headline from Katie about people who 0:19:09.150 --> 0:19:12.310 take cold showers get sick less. And that sort of 0:19:12.369 --> 0:19:15.869 stuff I've always been interested in. What is the name 0:19:15.950 --> 0:19:22.480 for that when it's. I know it's causality versus whatever 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:22.970 the other one is. 0:19:23.290 --> 0:19:24.310 Correlation. 0:19:24.730 --> 0:19:27.080 But trying to figure out what other things go with 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:28.740 that sort of person. So the sort of person that 0:19:28.780 --> 0:19:31.379 takes cold showers to try to be more energetic or 0:19:31.420 --> 0:19:33.619 more of a go-getter is more of a go-getter. And 0:19:33.660 --> 0:19:35.580 they probably go to the gym more often and they 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.260 probably eat healthier and they probably do all kinds of 0:19:38.340 --> 0:19:41.030 other things that makes them less likely to be sick, right? 0:19:41.050 --> 0:19:43.810 I mean, it's just almost guaranteed. The few people I 0:19:43.850 --> 0:19:46.390 know that do cold plunges are also fitness nuts. 0:19:47.910 --> 0:19:49.669 Not a surprise. You're not going to have. 0:19:49.550 --> 0:19:52.699 Many cold plunge people who take cold showers to give 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.399 themselves more energy or whatever, who also sit around on 0:19:55.420 --> 0:19:57.060 the couch all day long and eat chips. 0:19:57.740 --> 0:19:58.820 It's not going to happen. 0:19:58.900 --> 0:20:01.300 So I always like that out. 0:20:01.619 --> 0:20:04.610 I've always liked that about statistics, that sort of thing. Yeah, 0:20:04.650 --> 0:20:07.650 unless you tease out all of that stuff and equalize 0:20:07.750 --> 0:20:10.730 for A, B, C, D through Z, you know, probably 0:20:11.270 --> 0:20:14.149 it's a meaningless study. Yeah, it's like the– I was 0:20:14.190 --> 0:20:16.450 talking to my son about this the other day when 0:20:16.730 --> 0:20:18.880 we got onto the topic of– he was talking about 0:20:18.940 --> 0:20:24.770 how many kids at school vape nicotine and how– At 0:20:24.830 --> 0:20:26.910 least at least it used to be the studies where 0:20:26.930 --> 0:20:29.480 you're twice as likely to be divorced, get divorced. You're 0:20:29.500 --> 0:20:31.960 twice as likely to get divorced if you smoked. Well, 0:20:31.980 --> 0:20:35.380 the smoking doesn't cause the divorce. Obviously, it's the sort 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.200 of person that smokes and all the other lifestyle choices 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.400 that come with it tend to leave toward toward marriages 0:20:41.420 --> 0:20:45.110 that don't last. That's those sorts of stats I find fascinating. 0:20:45.630 --> 0:20:48.370 And they're underappreciated because people go with the original stat 0:20:48.390 --> 0:20:52.280 all the time and draw kinds of broad conclusions. Well, right, 0:20:52.380 --> 0:20:55.330 and I would prefer to be aware that there are– 0:20:55.350 --> 0:21:00.830 what term would you use? Personality clusters or lifestyle clusters 0:21:00.890 --> 0:21:04.970 that are shown by a variety of behaviors, and that 0:21:05.010 --> 0:21:09.130 way I could quickly label people and know who I'm 0:21:09.170 --> 0:21:09.530 dealing with. 0:21:09.550 --> 0:21:11.010 Because that's what you want to do. I want to 0:21:11.030 --> 0:21:13.300 be able to quickly know. That's what you need. You 0:21:13.340 --> 0:21:15.460 need the metaglasses that can put them in some sort 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.760 of group. Right, so I can immediately look down on them. 0:21:20.100 --> 0:21:22.179 And in a few cases, it would be look up 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.149 to them and fawn all over them to try to 0:21:24.210 --> 0:21:25.010 gain their favor. 0:21:25.330 --> 0:21:30.770 But it'll be one or the other. Oh, speaking of which, 0:21:30.810 --> 0:21:32.690 I got a handful of stories that are completely not 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.520 political that I find interesting. And I hope you do, too. 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:41.260 The best college bargain right now is a super pricey 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:48.889 elite liberal arts school. Nobody pays the rack rate at 0:21:48.930 --> 0:21:52.369 these schools. Nobody. And I'm looking down a list of 0:21:53.090 --> 0:21:56.770 some of your this seems to be fairly clustered in 0:21:56.990 --> 0:22:00.109 Iowa in the middle. I'm sorry, in in the East Coast, 0:22:00.230 --> 0:22:05.710 in the Midwest. But you got Williams College, Grinnell College. 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:09.840 That's in Iowa. Swarthmore is in Pennsylvania. I'd like to 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.570 go to a place called Swarthmore. I'd have to work 0:22:12.670 --> 0:22:15.190 on pronouncing it. And they go through a bunch of 0:22:15.230 --> 0:22:19.010 these places. Nobody pays the rack rate at all. In fact, 0:22:19.050 --> 0:22:23.609 the sticker price for Swarthmore, Jack's soon-to-be alma mater. I 0:22:23.670 --> 0:22:25.750 feel like you wear a cape if you go to Swarthmore. 0:22:26.770 --> 0:22:31.870 The cape is optional, but preferred. The sticker price, which 0:22:31.910 --> 0:22:36.639 includes costs like transportation. It's like door-to-door service for a 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:41.530 cruise or something. It's $ 98, 000 and change. But this year's 0:22:41.900 --> 0:22:46.250
