WEBVTT - A Good Slapping 0:00:07.590 --> 0:00:11.450 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:11.470 --> 0:00:13.460 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.239 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:17.420 --> 0:00:31.630 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. This running of this 0:00:31.810 --> 0:00:36.070 miscellaneous character with the same name as the incumbent Republican Senator... 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.900 It's a dirty trick if there ever was one, and 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.920 it's about as cynical politically as anything you could imagine. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:45.870 And I think if we had a different media climate 0:00:46.229 --> 0:00:51.090 in the country and in Alaska, this would have been 0:00:51.110 --> 0:00:53.409 a subject of a great deal of coverage and a 0:00:53.450 --> 0:00:55.790 lot of pressure on the Democrats to get this guy 0:00:55.810 --> 0:00:56.550 to drop out. 0:00:56.980 --> 0:01:00.560 Wow, that's interesting. Britt Hume, senior political analyst and old... 0:01:01.210 --> 0:01:06.050 You know, he's still got the sensibilities of a bygone era. 0:01:06.630 --> 0:01:09.680 Because that's, you know, clearly never going to happen now 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.360 or in the future. But you've got that extra Dan 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:14.680 Sullivan running in Alaska. And the reason I wanted to 0:01:14.700 --> 0:01:18.750 bring this up is... uh i think it was face 0:01:18.790 --> 0:01:21.330 the nation it was one of the sunday shows doesn't 0:01:21.370 --> 0:01:24.790 matter which one where the uh female host had on 0:01:24.850 --> 0:01:26.690 the current attorney general and they were talking about this 0:01:26.810 --> 0:01:30.429 extra dan sullivan running in alaska thing and and the 0:01:30.450 --> 0:01:33.750 attorney general kept talking about the term extra dan sullivan 0:01:33.950 --> 0:01:35.370 you know in case you need one in this case 0:01:35.390 --> 0:01:38.209 the first one breaks down yes runs out of matter 0:01:38.270 --> 0:01:42.530 sullivan yeah um and uh The attorney general kept talking 0:01:42.550 --> 0:01:45.050 about like humor, like this is clearly a dirty trick 0:01:45.090 --> 0:01:47.810 and the person should should should drop out or the 0:01:47.830 --> 0:01:50.550 Democrats should condemn it or whatever. And the host and 0:01:50.590 --> 0:01:53.190 I think it was Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation 0:01:53.230 --> 0:01:55.670 kept saying, look, there is no evidence that this is 0:01:55.730 --> 0:01:57.930 not just a coincidence. I mean, she was just sticking 0:01:58.010 --> 0:02:00.290 with the this is not a dirty trick. No, there's 0:02:00.330 --> 0:02:02.970 no proof that this is a dirty trick. Give me 0:02:03.090 --> 0:02:03.590 a break. 0:02:04.450 --> 0:02:08.660 Wow, that's one of the most stark examples of willful 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:09.920 blindness I've ever heard. 0:02:09.980 --> 0:02:14.739 That's hilarious. Hilarious. No court has ruled that this is 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.540 illegal or on purpose. Are you kidding me? 0:02:20.550 --> 0:02:23.530 Wow, she is such a nasty woman. 0:02:23.750 --> 0:02:28.010 You're assuming an intent to confuse voters with another guy 0:02:28.050 --> 0:02:29.310 with exactly the same name. 0:02:30.660 --> 0:02:33.359 I almost used an unfortunate term for females. I'm glad 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.310 I didn't. Yes, back to you. It's just funny. 0:02:36.060 --> 0:02:36.320 Oh, yeah. 0:02:36.750 --> 0:02:39.230 And I agree with Brent Hume. In a different era, 0:02:40.370 --> 0:02:42.910 a lot of these contests were talking about the U.S. 0:02:43.190 --> 0:02:46.850 effing Senate. We're not talking about the House. All kinds 0:02:46.889 --> 0:02:48.810 of weirdos get elected a House member. 0:02:49.250 --> 0:02:51.130 And who cares? They're gone in two years. You forget 0:02:51.169 --> 0:02:51.510 their names. 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.380 Being a U.S. Senator is a big deal. Six years, 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.080 and there's only 100 of them. And and this is 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.630 one of the races and help decide the power. So, yeah, 0:03:04.669 --> 0:03:05.549 what a crazy one there. 0:03:07.150 --> 0:03:07.709 The other. 0:03:09.590 --> 0:03:15.850 Many interesting stories unfolding a week from today, we have 0:03:15.900 --> 0:03:18.580 the dang midterm election. Thank God that'll be over. And 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.840 as everybody has pointed out, starting as soon as the 0:03:20.900 --> 0:03:25.560 polls closed. Tuesday night, the race is on for the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.680 presidential election for twenty twenty eight, because that's the way 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.320 we do politics now. And I'm excited about trying to 0:03:30.340 --> 0:03:34.139 figure out, are the Democrats going to decide we're all 0:03:34.180 --> 0:03:37.220 in on socialism or are we going to try? We 0:03:37.250 --> 0:03:40.310 think that there's no way we can nominate a socialist 0:03:40.350 --> 0:03:43.550 candidate to run for president. We'll get we'll lose forty 0:03:43.570 --> 0:03:45.130 nine states. I think you would, too. 0:03:45.510 --> 0:03:47.740 I hope you would. Or will it be a long 0:03:47.780 --> 0:03:51.410 and bloody battle, an antietam of politics as the two 0:03:51.470 --> 0:03:52.830 sides go at each other? 0:03:52.970 --> 0:03:54.670 But if you're listening on, I guess it was Thursday, 0:03:54.710 --> 0:03:58.250 had Lonnie Chen on. This idea of Gavin Newsom is, 0:03:58.810 --> 0:04:01.270 you know, got to pick a lane. Is he going 0:04:01.290 --> 0:04:02.450 to pick a lane? Is he going to go with, 0:04:02.670 --> 0:04:08.250 I'm going to be the moderate choice, not a crazy 0:04:08.310 --> 0:04:11.100 AOC sort of candidate. I'm going to get the nomination, 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:12.830 and I'm going to get elected president of the United States, 0:04:12.890 --> 0:04:14.930 or is an AOC type going to win? Well, so, 0:04:15.450 --> 0:04:17.849 I haven't heard this. This is Newsom weighing in on 0:04:17.890 --> 0:04:20.570 where things are with the whole battle, internal battle in 0:04:20.589 --> 0:04:23.150 the Democratic Party. Who's in charge, DSA or who? 0:04:23.170 --> 0:04:26.130 I was wondering, because I'm a younger voter, and a 0:04:26.150 --> 0:04:29.110 lot of us, like, we want to see the Democratic. 0:04:28.710 --> 0:04:29.589 Party move forward. 0:04:29.610 --> 0:04:31.489 You know, we don't want more Kamala Harris. 0:04:31.690 --> 0:04:35.210 We want, you know, more, I guess, Democratic Socialist politics. 0:04:35.250 --> 0:04:37.710 Like, where do you see, I guess, the Democratic Party going? 0:04:37.870 --> 0:04:38.890 I think it's, I mean, I think. 0:04:40.220 --> 0:04:42.640 No one is arguing to manage the status quo or 0:04:42.700 --> 0:04:47.960 fail more efficiently. So I think that the DSA, the 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:53.409 energy and the desire and demand for bold change, non-incremental change, 0:04:53.670 --> 0:04:56.430 is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's 0:04:56.470 --> 0:04:58.210 going to be a mainstream democratic movement. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:04:59.140 Absolutely. 0:04:59.180 --> 0:05:02.200 No question in my mind. Wow, that's so interesting, especially 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.480 because one of the emails that we didn't get to 0:05:04.500 --> 0:05:06.200 finish was talking about how a lot of the chaos 0:05:06.220 --> 0:05:08.320 that's going on right now was deliberate in order to 0:05:08.339 --> 0:05:11.320 break the system. Because if you can claim that as Gavin. 0:05:11.180 --> 0:05:12.700 Newsom just did, look, the system is broken. 0:05:29.860 --> 0:05:33.240 The time for incremental change, managing the decline, that's over. 0:05:33.300 --> 0:05:36.320 You need wholesale change. That is straight out of the 0:05:36.339 --> 0:05:37.320 Marxist playbook. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.540 Is that what he believes? Is that how he's going 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.529 to run? Or is he just telling that one person 0:05:42.589 --> 0:05:45.310 who asked him the question in a loud hall that 0:05:45.430 --> 0:05:47.029 to make the young person happy? 0:05:49.050 --> 0:05:53.190 I'm going to answer this very sincerely because I have 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.539 bashed Gavi for various reasons through the years. He doesn't 0:05:56.580 --> 0:06:00.930 like me. That's fine. I have no idea what he believes. 0:06:01.589 --> 0:06:03.350 I don't know if he believes anything. 0:06:04.250 --> 0:06:07.409 Oh, I don't. I don't think in terms of politics, 0:06:07.450 --> 0:06:09.969 he does believe anything. I think he believes I'm going 0:06:10.010 --> 0:06:12.510 to craft whichever message will get me elected to the 0:06:12.550 --> 0:06:14.930 next highest office. I think he's definitely one of those people. 0:06:15.490 --> 0:06:19.529 But I doubt that he's all in on the socialism. 0:06:19.830 --> 0:06:22.240 I think if he if he if he goes that direction, 0:06:22.300 --> 0:06:23.979 it will be in a cynical way. 0:06:24.010 --> 0:06:24.940 It'll be. Well, this is the. 0:06:25.260 --> 0:06:27.660 Oh, sure. This is the moment we're in. So this 0:06:27.700 --> 0:06:30.930 is what I'm going to do. But I don't think 0:06:30.990 --> 0:06:33.850 he believes that that's the way to go. There's no 0:06:34.130 --> 0:06:36.570 way he can, as a guy who's run a business, 0:06:36.710 --> 0:06:38.750 think that that makes any sense. 0:06:39.510 --> 0:06:42.380 No, no, but he's in a different business now with 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.540 different incentives and disadvantages. So Gavin's greatest strength is that 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.219 he's very bright. His greatest weakness is that he's not 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.799 quite as bright as he thinks he is. And so 0:06:52.220 --> 0:06:54.740 what he is going to do, and you heard it there, 0:06:54.940 --> 0:06:58.670 is he is going to Call for no more incremental 0:06:58.910 --> 0:07:02.650 managing the decline, no more yesterday's Democratic Party. It's time 0:07:02.690 --> 0:07:06.510 for big change, wholesale change, changing the system because the 0:07:06.589 --> 0:07:11.239 system's broke. But he's going to keep it pretty vague. Yeah, 0:07:11.300 --> 0:07:13.520 he's going to. And, you know, it's the classic politics, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.350 hope and change. He's going to go with hope. In fact, 0:07:16.380 --> 0:07:19.360 he probably. has a team of people working on, all right, 0:07:19.380 --> 0:07:21.620 we need something that short, that punchy, and that appealing, 0:07:22.130 --> 0:07:23.410 and that vague. 0:07:23.870 --> 0:07:26.130 Bring it to me by the close of business Friday. Well, 0:07:26.190 --> 0:07:28.150 I think he's going to be on a debate stage, 0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:29.010 and I don't know when. 0:07:29.330 --> 0:07:31.030 He'll probably just go with change and hope. 0:07:32.570 --> 0:07:35.460 This summer? Next summer? When did the debate start? I 0:07:35.460 --> 0:07:36.200 don't even know. 0:07:36.300 --> 0:07:36.900 Any minute now. 0:07:37.700 --> 0:07:39.420 He's going to stand there, and somebody's going to ask 0:07:39.460 --> 0:07:42.740 the question with the 15 candidates up there, ranging from 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.170 AOC to Gavin to whoever else. Raise your hand if 0:07:48.210 --> 0:07:51.150 you're in favor of cradle-to-grave health care. Raise your hand 0:07:51.230 --> 0:07:54.810 if you're for abolishing the prisons. I mean, there's going 0:07:54.830 --> 0:07:58.890 to be some pretty serious questions. They've got to pick 0:07:58.910 --> 0:08:00.070 a lane. I mean, you're not going to be able 0:08:00.110 --> 0:08:01.650 to be wishy-washy on those, I don't think. 0:08:02.430 --> 0:08:04.050 Yeah, depending on the moderators, of course. 0:08:04.090 --> 0:08:06.929 And then that's hung around your neck, as Kamala Harris found. 0:08:10.470 --> 0:08:14.260 You got to, yeah. I don't know. If I was 0:08:14.340 --> 0:08:17.060 a cynical person who only wanted to get the nomination, 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.620 I don't know what I would do. If I care 0:08:19.660 --> 0:08:22.740 about the country and humanity, I would, you know, I'd 0:08:22.820 --> 0:08:25.030 run away from socialism and try to convince people why 0:08:25.070 --> 0:08:27.430 it doesn't work. I was listening to Bill Mars down 0:08:27.470 --> 0:08:32.330 in the basement pot smoking podcast he had on Justine Bateman. 0:08:32.570 --> 0:08:34.860 So it's interesting if you've ever followed her on Twitter, man, 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.580 she is an outspoken hater of the left. She was 0:08:38.620 --> 0:08:41.160 my first crush. So it's really interesting to watch her. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.280 She was on Family Ties as Michael J. Fox's sister. 0:08:47.330 --> 0:08:50.510 We're almost exactly the same age. So when I was 12, 0:08:50.510 --> 0:08:53.860 she was 12, watching her on TV. And I just thought, oh, 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.739 my God, she is the most amazing woman that has 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.140 ever existed. Girl at that time. And now she's a 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.050 grown up and has the same politics as me, which 0:09:02.100 --> 0:09:04.420 I just think is fantastic. But she and Bill Maher 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:05.300 reach out. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.540 You're famous. She's famous. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.660 She and Bill Maher were just going on about how 0:09:10.059 --> 0:09:13.020 insane the DSA website is. Bill Maher is just like, 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.800 this is cuckoo nuts. How can these people believe that 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.300 abolish the prisons, free housing? This is cuckoo land. How 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.960 are there people that believe this? Even Bill Maher thinks that. 0:09:25.030 --> 0:09:28.250 Yeah, clearly. I think what those of us on the 0:09:28.309 --> 0:09:31.170 right have to accept, and I don't know what to 0:09:31.370 --> 0:09:34.780 do about it, but acceptance is the first step. We 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.860 need to accept that people like that, especially young people 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.160 who have not really forged an identity yet, they haven't 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.350 forged a worldview yet, we've got to somehow accept that 0:09:46.429 --> 0:09:49.530 people who see the world through the lens of acceptability 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:55.170 as opposed to truth, logic, and consequences. All they know is, 0:09:55.230 --> 0:09:59.610 do I get social approval for saying this, for saying 0:09:59.630 --> 0:09:59.950 I believe this? 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:00.350 It? 0:10:01.700 --> 0:10:06.300 A person like me can't even conceive. I mean, I 0:10:06.700 --> 0:10:08.960 can conceive of it around the edges. If I say 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.160 something funny among a group of guys and they all laugh, 0:10:11.179 --> 0:10:16.110 that feels good. But to not even really spend any 0:10:16.190 --> 0:10:18.730 time thinking about what are the downsides of this policy 0:10:18.770 --> 0:10:19.440 I'm offering up. 0:10:19.790 --> 0:10:20.630 Have I heard the. 0:10:21.090 --> 0:10:24.250 Israel side of this dispute or anything? All you care 0:10:24.309 --> 0:10:27.510 about is getting social acceptance. It's difficult for us to 0:10:27.570 --> 0:10:29.730 see the world through their eyes and to figure out 0:10:29.770 --> 0:10:32.310 how to reach them. I don't know if it can 0:10:32.350 --> 0:10:35.510 be done. It probably can be done. Maybe a good slapping. 0:10:35.650 --> 0:10:40.410 I don't know. But that's the great divide and brings 0:10:40.470 --> 0:10:45.550 us back, as always, to Thomas Sowell's Conflict of Visions. Well, 0:10:45.830 --> 0:10:48.390 they just don't ask the same questions we do. This 0:10:48.510 --> 0:10:49.270 DSA stuff. 0:10:49.290 --> 0:10:51.390 So my son last night, I don't know how he 0:10:51.429 --> 0:10:55.140 got on this topic, but my junior in high school said, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.940 there's amazing how many kids in my class think socialism 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.050 is an awesome idea. And I thought, wow. So they 0:11:04.090 --> 0:11:06.550 haven't grown up with the lectures I've given my kids 0:11:06.570 --> 0:11:09.630 because my kids both like roll their eyes at the word. 0:11:09.650 --> 0:11:09.850 Right. 0:11:10.770 --> 0:11:12.500 Because I've been telling them since they were little kids 0:11:12.790 --> 0:11:14.820 how it doesn't work. The same way my dad told me. 0:11:14.860 --> 0:11:17.120 I remember explaining it to me as a little kid. Well, 0:11:17.340 --> 0:11:20.920 if everybody got stuff the same amount and for nothing, 0:11:20.980 --> 0:11:22.660 then nobody would work. So then you'd have no money. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:23.220 Oh, okay. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:24.699 That makes sense. And that was the end of it 0:11:24.740 --> 0:11:26.579 for me. That was the end of the discussion. I've 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.540 never needed to think about it again because that's 100% true. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.229 That is the whole flaw right there. It doesn't work. 0:11:34.790 --> 0:11:35.189 Right. 0:11:35.210 --> 0:11:38.150 There's no complex. You don't need to write a thousand 0:11:38.210 --> 0:11:41.459 page book. das capital or anything like that it just 0:11:41.580 --> 0:11:44.439 doesn't work you run out of money very quickly um 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.640 but his friends have never heard that i guess and 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.150 then their parents don't understand well you're watching it. 0:11:53.150 --> 0:11:57.510 In france yeah i know i know it's it is 0:11:57.910 --> 0:12:01.929 a stark it's literally on fire and there are videos 0:12:02.030 --> 0:12:05.880 of it what happens with socialism and people don't connect 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:11.190 those things Which, I mean, it's incredibly frustrating. It's why 0:12:11.290 --> 0:12:16.569 politics is so stupid, because if that giant intellectual leap 0:12:16.670 --> 0:12:20.570 can't be made by people, how do you design your 0:12:20.590 --> 0:12:25.050 political messaging? The problem is incredibly frustrating. I know there 0:12:25.070 --> 0:12:30.120 are millions of people in my fantasies. hundreds of thousands anyway, listening, 0:12:30.300 --> 0:12:30.640 who are. 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.040 Thinking, I'm frustrated too. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.920 It makes me insane. But by golly, that's the challenge 0:12:36.980 --> 0:12:40.280 we have. We've got to communicate. And maybe it's as 0:12:40.340 --> 0:12:43.780 simple as this. When somebody proposes this crap, young or old, 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.760 say that's completely impractical or that's insane, it would never work. 0:12:49.260 --> 0:12:54.360 Why not? Well, because, and then give them 30 seconds on, well, 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.339 there are, and opening up the prisons. Well, there are 0:12:58.380 --> 0:13:01.560 some people who are just greedy and want other people's stuff. No, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.660 they only steal because of capitalism, blah, blah, blah. But see, 0:13:04.700 --> 0:13:07.380 that's the problem. We're not fighting common sense with common sense. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:13.079 We're fighting common sense against indoctrination. And you have to 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.459 be a little more versed in the arguments than I 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.360 was suggesting you do. I retract my comments. It's hard. 0:13:19.420 --> 0:13:24.540 The pitch, though, is so good. Free health care, free housing. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:25.949 Then you don't have to worry about where you live. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:26.800 Oh, awesome. 0:13:27.650 --> 0:13:29.030 You're about to come out of high school and you're 0:13:29.050 --> 0:13:30.250 wondering how you're going to make a living and you 0:13:30.290 --> 0:13:34.719 hear about AI. You're hearing free housing, free health care. 0:13:35.420 --> 0:13:35.800 Cool. 0:13:36.380 --> 0:13:36.939 Yeah. Yeah. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.660 It's an effective con for sure. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.350 Free needs to be banished from the English language. 0:13:44.170 --> 0:13:44.429 Wow. 0:13:44.470 --> 0:13:47.890 That's a bit of an extreme move, but. We'll consider that. Plus, 0:13:48.130 --> 0:13:51.189 the term Islamophobia. Why you should never permit it to 0:13:51.230 --> 0:13:53.930 be used in your presence. And when speaking of words, 0:13:53.970 --> 0:13:57.290 I got a big scrabble question. Major scrabble question. I 0:13:57.330 --> 0:14:00.110 want to get to people washing people's feet back in 0:14:00.250 --> 0:14:01.290 biblical times. 0:14:01.309 --> 0:14:03.870 What the hell? I did some research on this. Ripped 0:14:03.890 --> 0:14:06.740 from today's headlines. I could not have lived back in 0:14:06.750 --> 0:14:07.380 those times. 0:14:07.820 --> 0:14:08.560 Oh, my God. 0:14:08.580 --> 0:14:10.140 Because I ain't washing your feet. 0:14:10.990 --> 0:14:14.810 So maybe you're not that down-to-earth, but you're a down-to-earth person. 0:14:14.890 --> 0:14:17.240 You're hardworking. You're an entrepreneur. You're a farmer. You've been 0:14:17.270 --> 0:14:19.120 busting your ass. You've saved some money, and you want 0:14:19.140 --> 0:14:20.900 to do some financial planning. But there's a lot of 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.280 the financial planning world that strikes you as a little 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.080 highfalutin and pretentious, and the rest of it gets to 0:14:26.100 --> 0:14:27.500 know our friends at Blue Collar Dollar. 0:14:28.690 --> 0:14:31.310 Yeah, this is very cool.

Some new science 0:15:32.990 --> 0:15:34.610 on that. That'd be interesting. 0:15:34.630 --> 0:15:36.450 I hope having a giant head is a good thing. 0:15:36.470 --> 0:15:39.510 Oh, we have lots to get to today. So, um, 0:15:40.270 --> 0:15:42.750 I don't remember how I got started on this recently. 0:15:42.770 --> 0:15:46.250 It was probably some biblical verse about, uh, Jesus washing 0:15:46.290 --> 0:15:48.620 people's feet. And, you know, I've been hearing that since 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.990 I was a little kid, uh, sitting in church and 0:15:52.230 --> 0:15:55.210 foot washing came up all the time. And so I 0:15:55.230 --> 0:16:00.320 did some research on that and, uh, people almost exclusively 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.860 wore sandals thousands of years ago in the, you know, 0:16:05.620 --> 0:16:10.720 they were hippies, but so it was a thing. If 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.830 you went to somebody's house, it was considered good hospitality 0:16:13.930 --> 0:16:16.770 is you, you would, they you'd welcome into your house 0:16:16.810 --> 0:16:18.310 and then you'd go over and you'd kneel down and 0:16:18.350 --> 0:16:21.680 wash their feet. Everybody did that at your house. And 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.880 I just, man, I don't have anybody come over to 0:16:24.900 --> 0:16:27.850 my house now, but if I had to wash your feet, 0:16:27.900 --> 0:16:30.030 it'd really be off the table. I am not washing 0:16:30.070 --> 0:16:30.630 somebody's feet. 0:16:31.410 --> 0:16:31.870 No! 0:16:31.970 --> 0:16:34.550 Can you imagine how gnarly people's feet were back then? 0:16:35.170 --> 0:16:38.510 You're making God sad with this talk. You're not willing 0:16:38.550 --> 0:16:40.770 to serve others. That's the point. It's the ultimate act 0:16:40.830 --> 0:16:41.230 of service. 0:16:41.290 --> 0:16:43.810 I'm fine with it as a metaphor. 0:16:44.450 --> 0:16:45.230 No, no, no, no, no. 0:16:45.270 --> 0:16:47.150 But I'm not getting down on my knees and washing 0:16:47.170 --> 0:16:47.830 your freaking feet. 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.410 Metaphors don't feed the bulldog. We're talking about actually doing 0:16:52.470 --> 0:16:56.430 the thing. Ew. Ain't God sad. 0:16:57.010 --> 0:17:01.310 Big old bunion. Oh, what? But I was just trying 0:17:01.330 --> 0:17:04.520 to imagine what feet must have been like when all 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.359 you had was whatever crappy hand-hewn sandals they had. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:09.160 Sure. 0:17:09.220 --> 0:17:11.820 That's all you ever had walking around with little to 0:17:11.859 --> 0:17:13.400 no bathing. Those toenails. 0:17:13.420 --> 0:17:14.450 It's very sandy. 0:17:14.730 --> 0:17:14.990 Very. 0:17:15.050 --> 0:17:16.730 Oh, yeah. The toenails had to be horrendous. There were 0:17:16.790 --> 0:17:19.550 not clippers. There were not pumice stones. There were not. 0:17:20.010 --> 0:17:20.490 Oh, wait a minute. 0:17:20.530 --> 0:17:23.530 A pumice stone is a stone. Literally, the Stone Age 0:17:23.570 --> 0:17:25.830 had stones. So I'm going to stop you there. 0:17:27.710 --> 0:17:30.100 An aggressive scent. You think people were making sure their 0:17:30.130 --> 0:17:31.380 heels were not too rough? 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.639 I don't know. So, Michael, there would not be an 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.560 aggressive scent because you're wearing open shoes. 0:17:39.310 --> 0:17:40.860 Yeah, I don't know about it. I don't know its smell, 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.020 but it'd be, oh, you'd be, oh, you'd be so 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.479 horrifically dirty. And then it's not like I can put 0:17:45.540 --> 0:17:47.560 on rubber gloves or anything. Like, I gotta touch your, 0:17:47.859 --> 0:17:49.460 oh God, just disgusting. 0:17:50.660 --> 0:17:53.280 You'd have made a bad Samaritan. Stone me. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:54.659 You've heard of the good Samaritan? Go ahead and stone me. 0:17:54.820 --> 0:17:58.159 Here's the bad one, folks. You'd have kicked the guy 0:17:58.200 --> 0:17:58.859 and kept walking. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.270 Or at least the not so hot Samaritan. God, I'm 0:18:02.350 --> 0:18:05.290 glad that that went. Mediocre Samira. I'm glad that's in 0:18:05.330 --> 0:18:06.990 the past, that whole thing. 0:18:07.010 --> 0:18:09.119 I say we bring it back just to annoy you. 0:18:09.150 --> 0:18:11.250 Have some guys come over to watch a football game, 0:18:11.270 --> 0:18:12.530 and the first thing I got to do is they 0:18:12.550 --> 0:18:14.310 take off their socks and shoes. I got to get 0:18:14.350 --> 0:18:16.510 down on the floor and clean their feet. Let's get 0:18:16.550 --> 0:18:19.230 this over with so we can get on to the charcuterie. 0:18:21.490 --> 0:18:26.129 Oh, boy. Never permit the word Islamophobia to be used 0:18:26.150 --> 0:18:26.970 around you. 0:18:27.270 --> 0:18:27.869 Why? 0:18:27.930 --> 0:18:30.990 Plus an update on old Abdul Al-Sayed. Coming up. 0:18:32.190 --> 0:18:37.450 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:40.070 --> 0:18:46.260 I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from 0:18:46.300 --> 0:18:48.700 becoming a United States senator. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.100 And that's the fact. I'm not going to let that happen. 0:18:58.020 --> 0:19:01.620 And is Trump referring to Abdul Al-Sayed in some fairly 0:19:01.740 --> 0:19:02.800 broad terms? 0:19:02.900 --> 0:19:05.119 That's a heck of a thing to just call him 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.380 a Muslim Brotherhood member. 0:19:07.090 --> 0:19:10.170 And a jihadist. I don't think it's inaccurate. It's a 0:19:10.190 --> 0:19:13.170 little broad, but that's a little sledgehammery, but that's Trump 0:19:13.210 --> 0:19:18.430 for you. The awful, insufferable Kristen Welker asked Mike Rogers, 0:19:19.030 --> 0:19:22.780 Al Sayed's opponent, about that sort of thing on Meet 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:23.739 the Press the other day. 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.130 Let me ask you about your words and the words 0:19:27.290 --> 0:19:30.310 of President Trump. President Trump says your opponent is a 0:19:30.490 --> 0:19:34.950 violent terrorist, violent. Again, there's just no proof of that. 0:19:35.050 --> 0:19:37.929 And he has denounced he was asked directly if he 0:19:37.970 --> 0:19:39.230 denounces the Muslim Brotherhood. 0:19:39.570 --> 0:19:39.970 He has. 0:19:40.010 --> 0:19:42.290 Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist? 0:19:42.350 --> 0:19:42.790 That's not true. 0:19:42.810 --> 0:19:43.070 Hold on. 0:19:43.250 --> 0:19:45.490 Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist? 0:19:45.980 --> 0:19:48.399 The guy said, are you going to answer the question, 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.340 will you disavow? And he said, yeah, absolutely. 0:19:51.380 --> 0:19:54.359 Do you agree with calling him a violent terrorist? Is 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:55.770 that up to your standard? 0:19:55.790 --> 0:19:59.950 No, I don't. I've never called him a terrorist. Here's 0:19:59.990 --> 0:20:03.510 my question. Does Kristen Welker know how biased she is 0:20:03.590 --> 0:20:05.369 and embrace it, or does she not get it? 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.560
