WEBVTT - Just Put A Bow On Her Chest 0:00:08.230 --> 0:00:12.069 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:12.110 --> 0:00:14.070 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:14.150 --> 0:00:16.349 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:16.530 --> 0:00:17.880 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:18.360 And now. 0:00:30.100 --> 0:00:34.050 The Victoria's Secret fashion show was held yesterday in Los Angeles, 0:00:34.090 --> 0:00:38.190 and reality star Kylie Jenner wore this year's fantasy bra. 0:00:39.010 --> 0:00:40.710 I don't have a joke, I just need to prove 0:00:40.729 --> 0:00:41.970 that I googled it for work. 0:00:47.030 --> 0:00:48.940 We're not going to talk Russia-Ukraine here, but there are 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:53.300 a couple of breaking pieces. So Putin has just agreed 0:00:53.340 --> 0:00:58.080 to trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine. So 0:00:58.420 --> 0:01:01.720 Trump's probably on board. Putin's on board. Is Zelensky on 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.860 board with having those talks? Also, Zelensky announcing that he'd 0:01:05.900 --> 0:01:09.479 be willing to look at a peace plan that includes 0:01:09.620 --> 0:01:11.700 freezing the front lines where they are, which I think 0:01:11.780 --> 0:01:14.200 is a big deal because in the past he hasn't 0:01:14.250 --> 0:01:16.190 been willing to give up the land that they've lost. 0:01:17.550 --> 0:01:21.190 And then Wall Street Journal with ongoing reporting that Elon 0:01:21.250 --> 0:01:24.610 Musk ordered the Starlink slowdown that blindsided Ukraine. 0:01:25.090 --> 0:01:25.190 And. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.120 There's a lot to that story that we'll probably get 0:01:28.190 --> 0:01:28.700 to later. 0:01:29.500 --> 0:01:33.210 I was going to say the part that's not clear 0:01:33.230 --> 0:01:36.110 to me, and there are good reporters on it, but 0:01:37.130 --> 0:01:41.490 if he ordered it at the president's behest, then that's 0:01:41.990 --> 0:01:43.430 yet another different story. 0:01:44.610 --> 0:01:47.290 And is Elon trying not to throw Trump under the bus? 0:01:47.510 --> 0:01:48.830 What's going on with that whole story? 0:01:49.010 --> 0:01:51.370 I don't know. Has Trump asked Elon to take one 0:01:51.430 --> 0:01:53.050 for the team? I don't know. 0:01:53.230 --> 0:01:53.450 Right. 0:01:54.210 --> 0:01:56.530 Elon, with an interesting interview yesterday, I meant to grab 0:01:56.570 --> 0:01:59.690 some of that, saying he went too far with his 0:01:59.730 --> 0:02:02.400 whole politics thing. He said, I got kind of caught 0:02:02.460 --> 0:02:03.840 up in the whole getting to be in the Oval 0:02:03.940 --> 0:02:06.100 Office where the big decisions are made and traveling on 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.960 Air Force One. And I went too far and stayed 0:02:09.980 --> 0:02:12.100 in it too long. I should have focused on AI 0:02:12.139 --> 0:02:14.660 and other things. I thought that was interesting. He seems 0:02:14.700 --> 0:02:18.030 to be very willing to admit mistakes. 0:02:19.270 --> 0:02:19.490 Yeah. 0:02:19.550 --> 0:02:21.470 Which is part of what allows him to do what 0:02:21.490 --> 0:02:22.010 he does, I think. 0:02:23.220 --> 0:02:27.550 Right, that's the corporate philosophy that he flies his ships by. 0:02:27.570 --> 0:02:31.290 They'll learn faster. This is kind of a breaking news 0:02:31.350 --> 0:02:33.590 thing they'll have to dig into more because it sounds complicated. 0:02:33.610 --> 0:02:39.110 AI just found a bug that puts up to 70% 0:02:39.110 --> 0:02:44.040 of the world's websites at risk. AI tools helped find 0:02:44.100 --> 0:02:47.480 one of the most severe online bugs ever. Cyber experts 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.120 are racing to patch it up before hackers use AI 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.610 to exploit it. I hope they win more. I'll look 0:02:53.650 --> 0:02:55.950 into that story deeper because it just broke. 0:02:57.490 --> 0:03:00.130 Right, right. Not that I'd be able to comprehend much 0:03:00.169 --> 0:03:02.530 of it, but I'd like to know more. Yeah, oh boy, 0:03:02.630 --> 0:03:05.570 oh boy. Oh, speaking of AI and also Ukraine, a 0:03:06.610 --> 0:03:10.690 really interesting account of how AI guidance systems are now like, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:15.320 are you familiar with the last mile problem of transportation 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.600 or shipping or whatever? How do I get it from 0:03:17.620 --> 0:03:21.180 the airport to the house or the depot to the house, whatever? Yeah. 0:03:22.710 --> 0:03:25.970 That's one of the problems with drone systems and attacks 0:03:26.050 --> 0:03:28.460 and stuff like that. And if you can have a 0:03:28.500 --> 0:03:31.780 drone that once you lose touch with it, it then 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.200 manages itself and hits the target, that's obviously very advantageous. 0:03:36.220 --> 0:03:38.740 You don't need to guide it all the way to Kablooey. 0:03:39.420 --> 0:03:43.830 And evidently, they're successfully innovating and using AI to do 0:03:43.890 --> 0:03:50.770 that now in Ukraine. But the Ukrainians are specifically... But 0:03:50.870 --> 0:03:54.290 that moves us one step closer to AI and robots 0:03:54.470 --> 0:03:58.400 fighting it out. And whoever runs out of machines first loses, 0:03:58.500 --> 0:04:01.360 I guess. Then you start killing the people. And we 0:04:01.380 --> 0:04:04.020 all sit and watch it on TV like it's a sport. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.740 And then at some point, ah, man, we lost that battle. Crap. Shoot, 0:04:08.820 --> 0:04:10.440 I have no more rights. I'm going to have to 0:04:10.490 --> 0:04:11.210 get used to that. 0:04:11.270 --> 0:04:13.790 We lost, honey. With no people involved. 0:04:14.950 --> 0:04:16.110 Right, right. 0:04:17.410 --> 0:04:17.730 Right. 0:04:17.830 --> 0:04:20.989 I don't know. I'm not a science fiction writer, but 0:04:21.390 --> 0:04:22.670 what does war look like? 0:04:23.810 --> 0:04:27.680 Ooh, ooh. Just saw on the news up there, TB, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.200 we're not on this story yet. We got to get 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.120 on it. Do we have the audio for that ad 0:04:32.180 --> 0:04:35.670 that Ramaswamy's people put out in Ohio? Are you on 0:04:35.700 --> 0:04:36.190 this story? 0:04:36.210 --> 0:04:37.330 I'm not. 0:04:37.350 --> 0:04:38.430 Ooh, wow. 0:04:38.450 --> 0:04:38.529 Ah! 0:04:40.370 --> 0:04:43.919 He swung for the fences. So Vivek, remember Vivek Ramaswamy? 0:04:44.250 --> 0:04:47.650 I found him highly annoying. Ran for president as Republican. 0:04:50.140 --> 0:04:51.979 He's running for governor in Ohio. 0:04:52.020 --> 0:04:52.740 Is that right? 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:59.080 Anyway, he's losing. And he put out an ad in 0:04:59.140 --> 0:05:02.240 which the Democratic candidate, who part of her story is 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.360 overcoming child sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather, 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:11.260 put out an ad with moms saying she's a liar 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.409 it's her own mom on there saying she's a liar 0:05:14.610 --> 0:05:17.250 she was never sexually abused there's seems to be all 0:05:17.330 --> 0:05:20.490 kinds of documentation that she was abused i mean she 0:05:20.510 --> 0:05:22.230 was taking she and her brother were taken out of 0:05:22.250 --> 0:05:25.570 the home by the county and all kinds of stuff 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.979 and oh boy his stepfather was charged and all kinds 0:05:29.020 --> 0:05:31.720 of or at least investigated i shouldn't say charged but 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.710 not positive that's right but anyways That seems to be 0:05:34.740 --> 0:05:37.920 fairly accurate. And Vivek ran an ad with this kind 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.039 of crazy looking old woman. We got to get the 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.640 audio saying she's a liar. You don't want her as governor. 0:05:43.740 --> 0:05:46.460 She's a liar. All that stuff she said about my 0:05:46.500 --> 0:05:53.029 husband is a lie. Oh, my gosh. How tawdry is that? 0:05:54.190 --> 0:05:58.280 Oh, if if. It is a crazy old bitty who 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.700 doesn't want to be blamed for letting the predator into 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.720 the home, victimizing her children. Because that's something, you know, 0:06:06.779 --> 0:06:09.230 especially a certain sort of person, I can picture that 0:06:09.290 --> 0:06:15.150 sort of rationalization and weird psychological somersaulting happening. If that's 0:06:15.190 --> 0:06:18.330 what it, if it's what it sounds like, that's horrifying. 0:06:18.490 --> 0:06:21.150 There are quite a few people right, left, and center 0:06:21.220 --> 0:06:24.680 are calling out of bounds on this ad. including lots 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.919 of Republicans. It smacks of Vivek to me. I know 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.240 some of you are Vivek fans, but he's willing to 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.870 say or do whatever he's got to do. I think 0:06:32.910 --> 0:06:35.530 his run might be about over, and he'll just have 0:06:35.550 --> 0:06:37.090 to go back to being, he's a billionaire, isn't he? 0:06:37.110 --> 0:06:40.250 I think he'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, clearly. 0:06:40.290 --> 0:06:43.409 I thought he'd win that race, honestly, because he's very, 0:06:43.450 --> 0:06:46.740 very smart, but he's just so off-puttingly slick. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.900 This adds a lot. We'll get the audio, and then 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.880 you can see what you think of it. 0:06:53.420 --> 0:06:57.060 Speaking at least very, very briefly of the midterms, there 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.890 are a couple of different polls out that are miserable 0:06:59.930 --> 0:07:03.089 indicators for the Republicans. Both the Fox News poll that 0:07:03.110 --> 0:07:06.349 came out earlier this week that had Trump's approval ratings 0:07:06.450 --> 0:07:11.010 at record lows, and now the New York Times Siena poll, 0:07:11.070 --> 0:07:13.080 which is among the most respected. I know it's got 0:07:13.100 --> 0:07:16.690 the New York Times in there, but... Just 36% of 0:07:16.710 --> 0:07:20.600 likely voters say they approved Mr. Trump's performance. 59% said 0:07:20.620 --> 0:07:24.120 they disapproved. That's a big number. People don't look at 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.239 the disapprove that. 0:07:25.140 --> 0:07:29.800 Often, but oftentimes you can have a low approval, but 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.000 your disapproval. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:31.400 Isn't that high. 0:07:31.430 --> 0:07:35.750 It's not the commensurate rounds out to 100 number. With Trump, 0:07:35.770 --> 0:07:36.270 it often is. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.520 Yeah, yeah, well that makes 95%, 5% apparently. No opinion. 0:07:42.630 --> 0:07:46.250 I don't know, Trump's president, I'll be damned. 0:07:46.350 --> 0:07:48.990 I need a little more exposure to Trump before I 0:07:49.010 --> 0:07:52.070 make a decision on what I think of Trump. I'm 0:07:52.110 --> 0:07:54.490 going to give him a little more leash to see 0:07:54.530 --> 0:07:54.930 what I think. 0:07:56.030 --> 0:07:59.250 More than two-thirds of independent voters say they disapproved of 0:07:59.290 --> 0:08:02.340 the way he has handled his job as president. Why 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.120 don't you just give me the number, New York Times? 0:08:04.140 --> 0:08:06.550 You make me go to the study. More than two-thirds. 0:08:06.590 --> 0:08:07.110 That could be 67%. 0:08:07.110 --> 0:08:12.830 It could be 100%. Likely voters said they prefer Democrat 0:08:12.930 --> 0:08:16.630 candidates over Republicans by 11 percentage points, etc., etc. The 0:08:16.710 --> 0:08:21.290 national political environment is bleak for Republicans. So you're saying 0:08:21.310 --> 0:08:23.510 there's a chance. There are a number of things Trump 0:08:23.930 --> 0:08:25.190 is doing right now that I don't like. 0:08:25.380 --> 0:08:28.240 But if right now, today, I had to pull the 0:08:28.260 --> 0:08:31.380 lever for him being in charge for Kamala Harris, I'd 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.939 still go Trump. So, you know, it always comes down 0:08:34.980 --> 0:08:37.760 to that. You can disapprove of something, but what's the 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.420 alternative in this case? The alternative, you know, I guess 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.239 in just an approval rating is I want the guy 0:08:42.260 --> 0:08:46.230 to do more stuff that I like. But in reality, it's, 0:08:48.309 --> 0:08:49.050 what's the other choice? 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.260 This is one of the more miserable elections I've ever 0:08:53.330 --> 0:08:56.150 witnessed in that for all the great stuff Trump has done, 0:08:56.410 --> 0:08:58.430 issue number one is always how am I doing? How 0:08:58.450 --> 0:09:01.270 do I feel about my finances, my family's finances, my job, 0:09:01.330 --> 0:09:04.770 et cetera? Every American family practically. And I think he's 0:09:04.790 --> 0:09:10.780 just terribly mismanaged that stuff. And 69% disapprove of his 0:09:10.820 --> 0:09:13.220 handling of the cost of living. 65% disapprove of his 0:09:13.740 --> 0:09:16.080 handling of the war in Iran, especially as it relates 0:09:16.100 --> 0:09:21.559 to gas prices. So you've got that and a legitimate 0:09:23.809 --> 0:09:26.189 breeze blowing in the direction of, all right, we need 0:09:26.230 --> 0:09:28.469 change because this guy hasn't been doing the one thing 0:09:28.510 --> 0:09:29.630 I really wanted him to do. 0:09:30.300 --> 0:09:33.260 Who are you going to vote in? The frigging Democrats? 0:09:33.460 --> 0:09:43.290 Good Lord, the party of socialism and sky-high inflation and racism. Well, 0:09:43.690 --> 0:09:44.429 you have to put it all. 0:09:44.390 --> 0:09:48.390 In the bigger picture, too. All your Western society culture 0:09:48.530 --> 0:09:51.949 countries are, we're not like an incumbents. And then when 0:09:51.970 --> 0:09:53.950 the next party takes charge, we don't like them either. 0:09:54.380 --> 0:09:58.140 We're not happy with our governments all across Europe and 0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:58.760 the United States. 0:10:00.260 --> 0:10:04.080 So coming up speaking of that France too big to 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:10.130 fail Well, it rhymes, so it's got to be true. 0:10:10.250 --> 0:10:14.949 People are saying about France, they're falling apart economically. They're collapsing. 0:10:14.990 --> 0:10:17.750 They're in a doom spiral. But it's way too big 0:10:17.770 --> 0:10:20.730 to bail out the rest of Europe. What's the alternative? 0:10:20.770 --> 0:10:25.820 Because remember, it's the one euro zone with their one currency, 0:10:25.910 --> 0:10:27.840 the euro. So what do you do about that? We're 0:10:27.860 --> 0:10:29.280 going to go big on France at the bottom of 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:29.679 the hour. 0:10:30.300 --> 0:10:33.540 So we've got the audio feed. From the ad with 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.459 mom saying she's a liar. She was not abused by 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.370 my husband, her stepfather. We'll get to that next segment. 0:10:40.770 --> 0:10:42.410 I want to pay this off because I thought this 0:10:42.429 --> 0:10:46.470 was interesting. I often get inelastic and elastic mixed up. 0:10:46.770 --> 0:10:52.530 Elastic stretches as an economic term. So when I was 0:10:53.490 --> 0:10:57.400 taking my one economics class I took in college, the most... 0:10:58.330 --> 0:11:02.410 inelastic yeah the most inelastic product that they often use 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.120 as an example is salt you use the same amount 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.080 of salt pretty much if it doubles in price or 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.800 cuts in half it's just you know you need a 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.880 little bit of salt not a ton and that's how 0:11:13.900 --> 0:11:16.120 much you buy period and then there are other things 0:11:16.179 --> 0:11:18.170 that are very elastic price goes up a little bit 0:11:18.190 --> 0:11:20.170 you just stop buying it goes down a little bit 0:11:20.190 --> 0:11:24.170 maybe you get more And my economics advisor told me Estee, 0:11:24.210 --> 0:11:27.250 he's good friends with a plastic surgeon and that that 0:11:27.670 --> 0:11:30.930 is one of the greatest indicators out there. Boob jobs 0:11:31.370 --> 0:11:33.750 is one of the best indicators for how the economy 0:11:33.770 --> 0:11:36.990 is doing because it's incredibly elastic and stretchy and springy, 0:11:37.050 --> 0:11:38.050 if you'll pardon the expression. 0:11:38.690 --> 0:11:38.930 Wow. 0:11:39.190 --> 0:11:39.530 In that. 0:11:40.150 --> 0:11:43.130 Times get a little tough. The first thing you cut 0:11:43.250 --> 0:11:46.439 out is I'm not getting a job. I mean, that's 0:11:46.500 --> 0:11:48.920 the easy thing. Times are good and you're feeling flush. 0:11:49.580 --> 0:11:52.260 I've been wanting to do something about this. Come on. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.240 It's time. I owe it to myself. Or for your wife, 0:11:55.300 --> 0:11:55.640 I guess. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.719 Wall Street is seeing firm indications of a bounce in 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:00.490 the economy. 0:12:00.540 --> 0:12:02.270 That kind of makes sense, though, doesn't it? As a 0:12:02.410 --> 0:12:07.790 pretty high on the list of things you'd do without 0:12:08.350 --> 0:12:12.190 when times are tough. Sentiments are sagging as Wall Street 0:12:12.250 --> 0:12:14.290 reports lower earnings. No, I'm just going to keep going 0:12:14.309 --> 0:12:18.709 with this. I've known guys that got their wife a 0:12:19.190 --> 0:12:22.650 breast augmentation, if you want to give it a fancier term. 0:12:22.950 --> 0:12:24.890 Like as a birthday present or Christmas present or something 0:12:24.910 --> 0:12:27.830 like that. How do you have that conversation? Yeah, you're 0:12:27.850 --> 0:12:31.550 kind of not turning me on anymore. So here's what 0:12:31.650 --> 0:12:32.790 I got you. What is that? 0:12:33.210 --> 0:12:36.939 No, she brings it up. She brings it up, says, 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.110 you know, I'm thinking about this. And you agree, boy, 0:12:39.140 --> 0:12:42.750 it's pretty expensive. And then you say, you know what, 0:12:42.790 --> 0:12:43.969 if it's important to you, I'll do it. 0:12:44.630 --> 0:12:47.410 I think you both have the presents ready. You say 0:12:47.450 --> 0:12:49.990 to her, you've been kind of, I don't know, a 0:12:50.429 --> 0:12:52.100 little saggy lately. So here, I got this for you. 0:12:52.110 --> 0:12:54.340 And she said, okay, well, that's kind of funny. I 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.560 got these pills for you. Supposed to enlarge and lengthen 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.640 or something. Take some of these. What the hell? 0:13:03.020 --> 0:13:04.780 No, this is bad. We should take a break. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.470 It's a couple that's not happy with each other, is 0:13:06.490 --> 0:13:07.380 what I'm portraying. 0:13:07.610 --> 0:13:07.880 Wow. 0:13:08.150 --> 0:13:12.429 You could just put a bow on her chest. But anyway, 0:13:12.470 --> 0:13:15.890 so look for that. Ask your local plastic surgeon, how's 0:13:15.950 --> 0:13:18.110 the boob jobs? Are you staying busy or no?

We've seen people who are horrifying 0:14:55.100 --> 0:14:58.980 abusers deny it, and it turns out they're guilty. We've 0:14:59.020 --> 0:15:03.020 seen people accused of horrifying things. Turns out they're completely innocent, 0:15:03.330 --> 0:15:06.490 and the other person's a crackpot, and then every gradation 0:15:06.550 --> 0:15:09.470 in between. So that's why these stories are always different. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.660 You've got this Ohio governor's race that features somebody you 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.660 probably don't know unless you live in that area or 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.710 you're a political junkie at a weird level. Amy Acton 0:15:19.770 --> 0:15:22.570 is the Democrat who's currently in the lead in the polls. 0:15:23.030 --> 0:15:27.250 She's running against Vivek Ramaswamy, who, if you follow politics 0:15:27.290 --> 0:15:30.550 at all, you know his act. He was trying to 0:15:30.570 --> 0:15:34.320 be the nominee for president on the Republican side for 0:15:34.340 --> 0:15:37.700 a cup of coffee and then went very in on 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.280 Trump and all that sort of stuff. And some of 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.140 you really like him. Anyway, so this ad started running 0:15:42.180 --> 0:15:44.600 just two days ago. I mean, this is an October 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:50.220 surprise sort of ad. An ad ran with Amy Acton, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.840 the Democrat, who is a 60-year-old woman who it's worth 0:15:53.900 --> 0:15:57.830 knowing her backstory, a big part of her story. And 0:15:57.870 --> 0:15:59.990 we were mocking last week how when you run for 0:16:00.070 --> 0:16:01.850 office in the United States for whatever reason, you got 0:16:01.870 --> 0:16:05.350 to have some sort of tragic background. You were so poor, 0:16:05.410 --> 0:16:08.060 this and that. These are all the things you overcame. 0:16:08.620 --> 0:16:11.920 And that's why you should be the candidate? Anyway, she's 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.940 got a pretty difficult background. Childhood involving poverty, homelessness, neglect, 0:16:15.980 --> 0:16:19.980 and sexual abuse that she talks about all the time 0:16:20.020 --> 0:16:21.660 on the campaign trail and it's been a big part 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.120 of her life. Well, this ad came out Monday without 0:16:24.310 --> 0:16:28.210 any acknowledgement of where it came from. and started running, 0:16:28.290 --> 0:16:31.250 and this is with Amy Acton's mom, as she described it. 0:16:31.270 --> 0:16:31.570 I'm Ms. 0:16:31.650 --> 0:16:34.840 Darla Arthur, and I'm Amy Acton's mother. 0:16:35.460 --> 0:16:40.080 I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one 0:16:40.100 --> 0:16:44.700 of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I 0:16:44.740 --> 0:16:47.920 love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about 0:16:47.980 --> 0:16:51.520 her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to say this, 0:16:51.820 --> 0:16:56.140 but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. 0:16:56.780 --> 0:17:00.090 She lies about her past. She says she grew up 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.370 living in a tent. None of that is true. She's 0:17:04.470 --> 0:17:08.850 lied her entire life. My daughter needs help. And she 0:17:08.910 --> 0:17:13.860 can't help you if she needs help herself. People can change. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.940 But first they have to tell the truth. And my 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.310 daughter still isn't doing that. Don't vote for people who lie. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.200 Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll 0:17:25.220 --> 0:17:28.050 make your life better, you're fooling yourself. 0:17:28.850 --> 0:17:30.129 It will only get worse. 0:17:31.570 --> 0:17:33.370 From her own mom. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:34.639 Woof. 0:17:34.980 --> 0:17:38.420 That's something. That ad comes out with no acknowledgement of 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.409 who was paying for it. So the media jumped on 0:17:41.450 --> 0:17:43.350 this right away, as they did, and they dug and 0:17:43.369 --> 0:17:48.330 dug and dug. And yesterday, Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign admitted, and 0:17:48.350 --> 0:17:53.370 I'm using a prejudicial term, announced, revealed, that they were 0:17:53.410 --> 0:17:57.790 behind the ad. And they stand by it. And the 0:17:57.890 --> 0:18:01.580 reporting is that they've spent $ 4 million on a campaign buy. 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.000 They're going to run the hell out of this ad. 0:18:03.780 --> 0:18:08.730 in ohio now amy acton with her brother have put 0:18:08.790 --> 0:18:10.550 out a response ad that we'll have to get to 0:18:10.570 --> 0:18:12.350 when we come back and then i've got some of 0:18:12.390 --> 0:18:14.530 the details i mean they're this is the sort of 0:18:14.570 --> 0:18:16.810 story when she was a kid that made the newspapers 0:18:17.670 --> 0:18:20.629 there's there there are stories from way back at the 0:18:20.730 --> 0:18:24.680 time that seemed to document her story this is some 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.400 ugly politics man that and other stuff we'll get to 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:28.000 later this. 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:45.760 Hour The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:53.930 My name is Darla Arthur and I'm Amy Acton's mother. 0:18:54.550 --> 0:18:59.149 I worked at Children and Family Service Association building one 0:18:59.170 --> 0:19:03.790 of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I 0:19:03.830 --> 0:19:07.010 love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about 0:19:07.070 --> 0:19:10.570 her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to say this, 0:19:10.910 --> 0:19:13.130 but Amy has a serious problem. 0:19:13.150 --> 0:19:15.450 Okay, we won't tell you the whole thing. We played 0:19:15.470 --> 0:19:17.730 it earlier. You can find it online. I'm sure that 0:19:17.850 --> 0:19:20.690 is the mom of the Democrat who's currently leading in 0:19:20.730 --> 0:19:23.090 the polls for governor in Ohio. The reason this is 0:19:23.130 --> 0:19:27.209 interesting is this woman, Amy Acton, who I didn't know 0:19:27.230 --> 0:19:31.660 anything about until this story broke this week, Her story 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:37.820 is growing up with sexual abuse, raped by her stepfather, 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.370 living in 18 different houses, a lot of poverty, et cetera, 0:19:42.390 --> 0:19:45.629 et cetera, but became a good student, went on to 0:19:45.670 --> 0:19:50.580 become a physician, blah, blah, blah, and the trouble background 0:19:50.660 --> 0:19:54.180 rags to riches thing is an American tradition in politics. 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.010 Then this ad comes out Monday with her own mom saying, yeah, 0:19:59.050 --> 0:20:00.350 she's lying about that stuff. 0:20:01.109 --> 0:20:04.890 She's a liar. No, I have no context. But mom 0:20:04.930 --> 0:20:08.150 didn't say she was lying about that stuff. Just that 0:20:08.530 --> 0:20:10.790 she lied about living in a tent and she lies 0:20:10.850 --> 0:20:13.669 all the time. But is that clearly the way everybody's 0:20:13.730 --> 0:20:14.109 taking it? 0:20:14.109 --> 0:20:15.690 That's the way everybody's taking it, is that the whole 0:20:15.730 --> 0:20:16.550 story is a lie. 0:20:16.750 --> 0:20:17.550 Fair enough, yeah. 0:20:18.070 --> 0:20:21.870 And what do you think she's suggesting? You think mom 0:20:21.890 --> 0:20:25.530 came out of the woods? Amy Acton has not seen 0:20:25.690 --> 0:20:29.410 or spoken to her mom in 48 years. The last 0:20:29.470 --> 0:20:32.139 time she had spoken to her mom was in the 0:20:32.220 --> 0:20:36.520 courtroom when they were indicting her stepfather for raping her. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.359 So I'll get to that story in a little bit. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:39.659 Oh, my. 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.140 No contact with her mom in a half a century, 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:43.869 and all of a sudden these ads show up on TV. 0:20:44.450 --> 0:20:47.170 That's my freaking mom, I guess. She's so old I 0:20:47.170 --> 0:20:47.910 haven't seen her in 50 years. 0:20:50.020 --> 0:20:52.480 Wow, this is one of the worst things I've heard. 0:20:52.500 --> 0:20:57.040 I know, and Vivek Ramaswamy, whom I've not liked. I 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.280 liked him in the beginning. He's very charming, and he's 0:20:59.300 --> 0:21:01.960 got cool lines, and he's very quick, but he is slimy. 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:06.340 He will say or do anything. His campaign is running 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.760 these ads and stands by them, he says, and they've 0:21:09.780 --> 0:21:12.379 got a $ 4 million buy. So we'll get to the 0:21:12.420 --> 0:21:14.439 response ad that our brother put up, but let me 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.850 give you a little bit of background here. It's quite 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:22.340 the damn story. So Acton, Amy Acton, is 60. You know, 0:21:22.420 --> 0:21:25.879 her story is her troubled childhood. Contemporary court documents and 0:21:25.940 --> 0:21:32.760 newspaper reporting substantiate key elements of her account. In 1975, Donna, 0:21:32.780 --> 0:21:35.590 the woman you just heard, Amy's mother, married Cletus Arthur, 0:21:35.900 --> 0:21:39.830 who had previously been indicted on incest charges. So her 0:21:39.890 --> 0:21:43.450 mom married a dude who had been indicted for incest before. 0:21:43.750 --> 0:21:44.040 Oh, wow. 0:21:46.300 --> 0:21:50.340 In 1978, Cledith Arthur was arrested and charged with raping 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:56.290 12-year-old Amy. Later that year, a grand jury indicted him. Then, 0:21:56.310 --> 0:22:00.010 a month later, he didn't show up in court. He 0:22:00.030 --> 0:22:05.129
