WEBVTT - Egg Is My Option 0:00:12.270 --> 0:00:16.100 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:16.140 --> 0:00:18.100 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:18.180 --> 0:00:20.390 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:20.570 --> 0:00:27.660 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:33.729 --> 0:00:36.790 El-Sayed spent the day with progressive Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, 0:00:37.229 --> 0:00:40.030 pushing their common message of Medicare for all and higher 0:00:40.070 --> 0:00:44.000 taxes on millionaires and billionaires, all one day after Congresswoman 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.279 Haley Stevens, who lost the Democratic nomination by less than 0:00:47.300 --> 0:00:51.560 a percentage point to El-Sayed, flipped her endorsement to Republican 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.590 Mike Rogers over El-Sayed's stance towards Israel. Elsa's campaign says 0:00:55.650 --> 0:00:58.430 it raised nearly two and a half million dollars yesterday 0:00:58.670 --> 0:00:59.770 after the Stevens announcement. 0:01:00.450 --> 0:01:02.350 It shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and 0:01:02.380 --> 0:01:04.119 know that that money is going to be spent on 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.819 you and your kids instead of. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.780 Dropping bombs on somebody else and their kids. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:10.820 Shouldn't be this hard. 0:01:13.300 --> 0:01:18.060 OK, I don't know. Was that him referencing that ad 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.780 that got so much attention? I mean, in that ad, 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.170 they specifically talk about dropping bombs and On other countries 0:01:25.290 --> 0:01:27.450 is why things are so expensive, and that was. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.330 Well, yeah, that ad paraphrased his campaign, which is why, 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.500 I mean, he made like a weak disavowal of it. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.420 But no, why would he? That's his campaign. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:39.759 Wow, that's the one thing I'm staying up for tonight 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.270 is to watch his acceptance speech if he wins. 0:01:43.190 --> 0:01:48.990 Speaking of Al Sayed, this is brand new. John Fetterman, 45. 0:01:48.990 --> 0:01:53.530 I mean, he's absolutely pro-Iran and Hamas. I mean, he 0:01:53.590 --> 0:01:57.490 even said he wants to defund the police. And he's 0:01:57.570 --> 0:02:02.020 in a spiritual union with Hassan Piker, who really thinks 0:02:02.060 --> 0:02:07.120 that we deserve 9-11. I mean, so overall, I don't 0:02:07.140 --> 0:02:10.480 get along with communists and socialists and people that hate 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:15.399 America or people that pick on women, you know, like El-Sayed. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:21.109 They're going to be caucusing together if El-Sayed wins. And 0:02:21.130 --> 0:02:24.350 have there ever been in either party in my lifetime? 0:02:24.370 --> 0:02:28.510 A couple of people who would hate each other as 0:02:28.570 --> 0:02:31.920 much as those two were outside of like a personal grudge. 0:02:33.620 --> 0:02:36.220 I can't think of maybe back in the day when 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.260 you had the hardcore racists that were still in the 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.620 Senate that didn't want black people to get to vote 0:02:42.650 --> 0:02:44.369 or anything like that. That might be the only other. 0:02:45.310 --> 0:02:46.709 as far back as you'd have to go to where 0:02:46.730 --> 0:02:47.669 you got that sort of thing. 0:02:48.230 --> 0:02:52.490 Yeah, Fetterman is going to be a very, very welcome 0:02:52.669 --> 0:02:58.030 thorn in El-Sayed's side, if indeed El-Sayed wins tonight. An 0:02:58.110 --> 0:03:00.210 outcome I despise even thinking about. 0:03:00.450 --> 0:03:03.650 Here's the latest from somebody who knows what the private 0:03:03.710 --> 0:03:09.130 polling is. Mark Halperin on his show today. The private 0:03:09.169 --> 0:03:12.630 polling is within the margin of error in almost every 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:17.000 single one of these polls. Senate races everybody's talking about 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.359 other than North Carolina. So if you think that a 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.780 single Senate race that's currently red is going to flip 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.780 blue and is a sure thing, I would tell you 0:03:24.820 --> 0:03:27.310 you're wrong. I wouldn't say there's a single one that 0:03:27.330 --> 0:03:29.730 would surprise me if it stayed red. Not one, not Ohio, 0:03:29.750 --> 0:03:32.329 not Kansas, not Texas, not Iowa, not Alaska. He didn't 0:03:32.350 --> 0:03:35.290 mention Michigan. Of course, Michigan's already blue. It's the stain blue. 0:03:35.510 --> 0:03:37.970 So that would be that. Not one of them would 0:03:37.990 --> 0:03:41.030 surprise me. In the private polling, they've closed up. And 0:03:41.070 --> 0:03:43.130 what Republicans are counting on is that the voters in 0:03:43.150 --> 0:03:45.880 those states today will overcome, in some states, an early 0:03:45.910 --> 0:03:46.620 vote deficit. 0:03:46.630 --> 0:03:47.630 And Republicans turn out. 0:03:47.660 --> 0:03:49.760 So when it's this close within the margin of error, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.420 it could all go one way and it could all 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.960 go the other way and have, you know, major difference 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:54.720 either way. 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:56.580 Or half and half. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:57.100 Or half and half. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.240 It doesn't tend to go that way a lot, it 0:03:59.260 --> 0:04:05.610 doesn't seem like. With all these close Trump elections, And 0:04:06.090 --> 0:04:08.450 I've never quite understood how this happens, but it's amazing 0:04:08.490 --> 0:04:11.740 how often a whole bunch of different states, counties, districts, whatever, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:12.820 break the same direction. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.540 Like there's a national mood going on. 0:04:16.100 --> 0:04:18.880 Yeah, yeah. Well, throw the bums out. It's definitely the 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.150 national mood, but they're all bums, which leaves you in 0:04:21.190 --> 0:04:25.650 a bit of a spot. Although certainly I prefer free 0:04:25.670 --> 0:04:29.250 market bums to communist bums. You know, an interesting point 0:04:29.270 --> 0:04:31.950 about all this is that the number one issue for 0:04:31.980 --> 0:04:36.120 a lot of people is affordability, inflation. Again, as we 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.360 pointed out last hour, and I've got this somewhere, but corruption, 0:04:39.420 --> 0:04:42.979 government corruption, was the number one issue in a recent 0:04:43.220 --> 0:04:47.000 Fox poll, which I found really, really interesting. 0:04:47.220 --> 0:04:51.450 And were those people polled by Fox thinking about the 0:04:51.490 --> 0:04:52.990 Trump family or the Biden family? 0:04:53.870 --> 0:04:56.410 Or all of the above. Or maybe both. I think 0:04:56.470 --> 0:04:57.050 it should be both. 0:04:58.220 --> 0:05:01.240 And the issue of Congress profiting from stock deals has 0:05:01.260 --> 0:05:01.820 gotten a fair. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.810 Amount of attention. Yeah, of course it should be both. 0:05:04.620 --> 0:05:08.750 But what's interesting, as Greg Hitt points out, is that 0:05:09.110 --> 0:05:11.910 anybody hoping for a fix for quote-unquote affordability is going 0:05:11.930 --> 0:05:18.349 to be disappointed because the factors that– folks, you're about 0:05:18.390 --> 0:05:19.790 to be more disappointed than anybody. 0:05:20.350 --> 0:05:22.510 That's our job. That's what we come into work for 0:05:22.550 --> 0:05:25.420 every single day. What can we do to disappoint people today? 0:05:26.420 --> 0:05:29.400 Joy crushing. That's how I see my job. I see joy. 0:05:29.620 --> 0:05:32.640 I want to crush it. Joy crushing. Nothing makes me 0:05:32.779 --> 0:05:36.020 angrier than somebody who's joyful. Oh, please. It's got to 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:37.119 be a way to bring them down. 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.650 Yeah, yeah. But so what's affecting affordability or what's continuing 0:05:41.670 --> 0:05:45.990 to stoke inflation a little bit? It's mostly the tariffs, 0:05:46.650 --> 0:05:51.150 which is not helping. The war against Iran, necessary or not, 0:05:51.190 --> 0:05:56.420 that sent energy prices higher. and a couple of other things, 0:05:56.460 --> 0:05:59.120 but it was all done by the executive branch. Congress 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.529 didn't vote on any of it, and their avenues for 0:06:02.670 --> 0:06:08.070 overturning it are very, very few. And Greg actually goes 0:06:08.110 --> 0:06:13.270 into the history of Congress's ability to rein in conflicts, 0:06:13.330 --> 0:06:16.210 if you don't want to call it war, but it's 0:06:16.410 --> 0:06:19.490 almost hilarious. Its inability to halt the Vietnam War led 0:06:19.510 --> 0:06:25.370 Congress in 1973 to pass the famous War Powers Resolution 0:06:26.210 --> 0:06:29.000 requiring that within 60 to 90 days of committing forces 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.980 to military action, the president either withdraw or obtain congressional authorization. Well, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.880 presidents have since responded with various claims of complying without 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.900 an actual halt to hostilities. Reagan sent Marines to Lebanon 0:06:42.020 --> 0:06:45.030 in 82 through 84, Navy to escort tankers in the 0:06:45.070 --> 0:06:48.770 Persian Gulf, 87, 88. Bill Clinton intervened in Kosovo, Barack 0:06:48.790 --> 0:06:52.350 Obama in Libya, Iraq and Syria, Joe Biden in Iraq 0:06:52.550 --> 0:06:53.210 and Syria. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.620 Trump in iran then he. 0:06:55.580 --> 0:06:58.020 Said well no because there's that ceasefire so it reset 0:06:58.060 --> 0:07:02.410 the clock again and congress is reduced to just sputtering and. 0:07:02.500 --> 0:07:05.729 Stamping their little feet there's no or else in that 0:07:05.790 --> 0:07:07.020 thing or will. 0:07:06.850 --> 0:07:10.450 Right exactly and and the tariff thing trump has kind 0:07:10.470 --> 0:07:12.270 of gone way out on a limb on his own 0:07:12.730 --> 0:07:13.990 and so here's. 0:07:13.810 --> 0:07:15.910 The here's where i crush your hope. 0:07:17.470 --> 0:07:23.980 So what's left redistribution of wealth writing you checks, making 0:07:24.020 --> 0:07:29.590 you promises, subsidizing things, but because other than millionaires and billionaires, 0:07:29.630 --> 0:07:34.030 which wouldn't cover a tenth of the tab, they're unwilling 0:07:34.070 --> 0:07:36.610 to raise taxes, it's all going to be borrowed from 0:07:36.630 --> 0:07:37.710 the kids and grandkids. 0:07:41.350 --> 0:07:42.700 We had a good run. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.580 We're going to talk to Lon He Chen coming up 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.820 here in about...

I was thinking about my 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.640 hair or lack of it. My oldest is convinced that 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:16.429 he has my hair genetically. And that he will be 0:09:16.730 --> 0:09:19.850 a bald man before he knows it. And he's trying 0:09:19.870 --> 0:09:23.490 to prepare himself emotionally for that result. Trying to convince 0:09:23.530 --> 0:09:25.550 him that my life has not been that horrific because 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.360 of my hair situation. I'm not sure it's held me 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.100 back in any way whatsoever, actually. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:31.920 He's pretty worried about it. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.740 My dad was bald. Both of my grandfathers were bald. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.300 And I just assumed my entire life I would be balding. 0:09:38.340 --> 0:09:41.940 And it kind of accepted it emotionally and then haven't. 0:09:42.059 --> 0:09:45.819 So clearly I was adopted. Parents should have shopped another 0:09:45.860 --> 0:09:48.050 couple of minutes at the orphanage before they picked me, 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:48.850 but what are you going to do? 0:09:49.210 --> 0:09:49.910 Buyer beware. 0:09:51.050 --> 0:09:52.990 Shopped at the orphanage. 0:09:56.190 --> 0:09:59.050 Anyway. You have thoughts on the balding conversation? I do. 0:09:59.110 --> 0:10:01.470 Let your son know that. bald is in right now 0:10:02.350 --> 0:10:02.970 with the ladies. 0:10:03.270 --> 0:10:07.320 Well, uh, like I said, I don't feel like it's 0:10:07.340 --> 0:10:12.680 held me back in any way. And yeah, it, since what? 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.560 The mid nineties. Did Michael, does Michael Jordan get the 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.660 credit for being the first person to shave their head 0:10:17.700 --> 0:10:21.089 and like really make it mainstream. But anyway, Um, after 0:10:21.130 --> 0:10:22.670 it went mainstream to shave your head, if you don't 0:10:22.690 --> 0:10:24.130 have much hair, it just, it doesn't matter anymore. 0:10:24.290 --> 0:10:27.490 I don't feel it. And being behaired isn't a drawback either. 0:10:27.690 --> 0:10:27.890 So. 0:10:27.929 --> 0:10:30.790 No, no. You can't lose. No, no. 0:10:30.970 --> 0:10:31.090 Yeah. 0:10:31.110 --> 0:10:32.109 I don't think it's that big a deal. 0:10:33.100 --> 0:10:35.080 I mean, if you want to have options, I do, 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.920 I do tell my kids that like my youngest has 0:10:36.940 --> 0:10:41.500 got serious rock and roll hair and just fantastic hair. And, uh, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.360 and where's the thusly? And I, so he's got options. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:45.420 I've never had options. 0:10:46.220 --> 0:10:46.380 Yeah. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.760 My option is this egg. Egg is my option. 0:10:48.780 --> 0:10:49.040 Yeah. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.970 And you can't afford eggs because we're bombing the Palestinians. 0:10:54.070 --> 0:10:57.380 Thanks to the Jews. That's what I hear. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:57.470 Wow. 0:11:04.010 --> 0:11:05.270 Where do you go from there? 0:11:05.490 --> 0:11:08.750 They say that the baldness comes from your mom's side. 0:11:08.860 --> 0:11:10.720 I mean, that's the old saw, right? 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.160 Yeah. Get a new saw. Go down to the Home Depot. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.260 But all the men in my family look exactly the same. Me, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.679 my brother, my dad, his dad, his brothers all look 0:11:21.740 --> 0:11:25.579 exactly the same. Same hair exactly. So you can say 0:11:25.620 --> 0:11:27.620 it came from mom, but I don't know. There's three 0:11:27.660 --> 0:11:29.580 generations there and all going through the man. 0:11:29.900 --> 0:11:32.140 So if your mom's bald, you'll be bald. That's what 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.650 they claim. That's all bullcrap. I think it is bullcrap. 0:11:35.670 --> 0:11:41.150 Nobody's sure. She's an egg. Bald as an egg. 0:11:42.830 --> 0:11:44.490 We will talk to Lon He Chen coming up in 0:11:44.530 --> 0:11:47.369 a little bit about where things are. He's actually one 0:11:47.390 --> 0:11:49.330 of the smartest political pundits out there. He worked on 0:11:49.429 --> 0:11:52.490 Rubio's campaign back in the day when Rubio was running 0:11:52.510 --> 0:11:55.590 against Trump in 2016. So he probably has a soft 0:11:55.630 --> 0:11:57.990 spot for Rubio. I definitely have a soft spot for 0:11:58.050 --> 0:12:01.050 Rubio running for president. I hate the fact that he 0:12:01.100 --> 0:12:02.459 says he won't run if J.D. 0:12:02.500 --> 0:12:02.720 Does. 0:12:03.450 --> 0:12:05.290 Why'd he do that? I'd have to ask Lonnie that. 0:12:05.309 --> 0:12:07.130 Do you know? Have you had personal conversations? 0:12:07.150 --> 0:12:07.750 I have. 0:12:07.870 --> 0:12:09.970 Yeah, I do. I absolutely have an idea. 0:12:10.210 --> 0:12:12.230 Well, I was going to ask Lonnie if he knows, 0:12:12.490 --> 0:12:15.500 because he might actually have corresponded, and then he would 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.760 tell us, sharing their intimate conversations, of course, on the 0:12:18.780 --> 0:12:19.280 radio show. 0:12:19.500 --> 0:12:22.900 If he doesn't know, I will tell him, because I've 0:12:22.940 --> 0:12:24.880 figured it out. How handy. So lots on the way. 0:12:24.980 --> 0:12:25.339 Stay here. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:37.140 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:12:38.290 --> 0:12:41.329 The New York City Marathon on Sunday. More than 60,000 0:12:41.330 --> 0:12:46.270 runners and among them 90-year-old Marty Granoff who says absolutely everyone. 0:12:45.890 --> 0:12:48.430 Told him he's nuts. But you know what? 0:12:48.470 --> 0:12:51.210 He ran it along with his son and grandson crossing 0:12:51.230 --> 0:12:54.050 the finish line in 8 hours 26 minutes. He says 0:12:54.270 --> 0:12:56.390 age has nothing to do with it. 0:12:57.730 --> 0:12:59.690 It has something to do with it, old man, but 0:13:00.010 --> 0:13:02.350 well done. 90 years old. 0:13:03.809 --> 0:13:07.120 To get Through 26 miles, whether you walked, crawled, or 0:13:07.179 --> 0:13:08.500 jogged is amazing. 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.420 Yeah, it's astonishing. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.460 I walk a couple of miles a day, and if 0:13:12.540 --> 0:13:14.699 I go like an extra mile, I'm tarred. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:20.020 I've been running every other day following my close chat 0:13:20.059 --> 0:13:23.300 GBT regimen for my 10K I'm going to run next year. 0:13:23.860 --> 0:13:25.699 Good man. Excellent. Glad to hear it. 0:13:26.340 --> 0:13:28.300 Maybe when I'm 90, I'll try to run a marathon. 0:13:29.460 --> 0:13:31.140 It's important to have plans. There you go. 0:13:31.179 --> 0:13:34.949 Put it on the calendar. Probably want an alert. like 0:13:34.990 --> 0:13:37.330 an alarm because it'd be easier to forget. 0:13:37.910 --> 0:13:38.209 Jeez. 0:13:38.270 --> 0:13:38.770 That's right. 0:13:38.809 --> 0:13:40.750 And then the alarm goes off and then I guess 0:13:40.770 --> 0:13:43.390 I'm supposed to run a marathon. I haven't exercised in 0:13:43.390 --> 0:13:44.230 30 years. 0:13:46.050 --> 0:13:46.410 Shoot. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.180 I should have set the alarm 10 minutes before the event. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.239 So when can we expect any results? Well, not, not 0:13:55.300 --> 0:13:58.300 for a while. I'm looking at the map of when 0:13:58.340 --> 0:13:59.959 you get election results and. 0:13:59.920 --> 0:14:02.260 It's, it's just, it's so stupid. 0:14:03.250 --> 0:14:07.190 There are, it looks to be a quick count, 10 0:14:07.190 --> 0:14:09.939 states that will have the results on election night. 0:14:09.980 --> 0:14:11.500 There are 50 states, Joe. 0:14:12.660 --> 0:14:15.590 There are 10 or so that will have their results 0:14:15.910 --> 0:14:21.270 on election night. Oddly, they're all in the eastern half geographically. 0:14:21.340 --> 0:14:23.740 The country more or less Oklahoma kind of pokes over 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.160 onto the western half, but I don't know why that is. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.920 And then you've got states that will have the results 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.580 before noon tomorrow, and they are all in the eastern 0:14:32.710 --> 0:14:36.950 two-thirds of the country. But practically the entire western United States, 0:14:38.090 --> 0:14:42.370 with the exception of Wyoming and New Mexico and They 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:43.730 all make you wait days and days. 0:14:44.010 --> 0:14:47.190 Okay, well, the two that I'm really most interested in, 0:14:48.470 --> 0:14:50.830 Michigan by far number one, then Texas. 0:14:51.110 --> 0:14:52.590 When's Michigan close their polls? 0:14:53.430 --> 0:14:56.770 Well, I could get into when they close them, but 0:14:56.790 --> 0:14:58.870 what's more important is when you get the results, and 0:14:58.890 --> 0:15:00.890 they're both by noon tomorrow. 0:15:00.950 --> 0:15:01.170 What? 0:15:01.350 --> 0:15:04.470 So we might not know if Syed won tonight? That's correct, yeah. 0:15:05.540 --> 0:15:08.140 Unless they do exit polling and projections and stuff like that. 0:15:08.260 --> 0:15:10.520 I don't know how they release results in Michigan, whether 0:15:10.540 --> 0:15:11.320 it's district by district. 0:15:11.340 --> 0:15:14.710 If we're going to find out tomorrow, then all the 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:20.650 news coverage today is really stupid. Acting like something is happening. 0:15:20.850 --> 0:15:24.650 It's not even happening today, let alone happening tonight, let 0:15:24.670 --> 0:15:25.850 alone now. 0:15:26.450 --> 0:15:27.470 Yeah. 0:15:27.510 --> 0:15:29.990 Like they've got the clock down in the corner on CNN. 0:15:30.370 --> 0:15:34.570 Four hours and 35 minutes. until coverage begins coverage of 0:15:34.730 --> 0:15:39.050 what showing pictures of people in line and discussing the 0:15:39.090 --> 0:15:40.270 same thing you've discussed for. 0:15:40.210 --> 0:15:44.650 Two months yes so this is inexplicable to me in 0:15:44.740 --> 0:15:48.780 south cackalack 96 of the votes will be counted by 0:15:48.860 --> 0:15:54.460 midnight at least that's what happened in 2024 96 in 0:15:54.700 --> 0:15:58.840 michigan it's 46 now they'll both have her done by 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:04.310 tomorrow at noon so that's that's great but Here's. 0:16:03.690 --> 0:16:06.510 A question about South Carolina. Do you think in her 0:16:06.550 --> 0:16:09.990 heart of hearts, Lindsey Graham's sister wants to win or lose? 0:16:10.370 --> 0:16:11.710 I'll bet she wants to lose. 0:16:12.250 --> 0:16:15.650 I think she's extremely ambivalent about it. I'll bet she 0:16:15.670 --> 0:16:18.570 goes back and forth wondering how the hell this ever happened. 0:16:18.650 --> 0:16:22.460 If she got to choose, she might choose winning. But 0:16:23.300 --> 0:16:26.440 if she loses, when she gets that word, she is 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.060 going to have relief. And not that, what usually happens 0:16:30.100 --> 0:16:34.080 with politicians, just devastating rejection. And what am I going 0:16:34.100 --> 0:16:35.790 to do with my life now? She's not going to 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:36.380 have any of that. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.000 You are 100% correct, I believe. 0:16:39.090 --> 0:16:39.250 Yeah. 0:16:39.620 --> 0:16:42.650 I think if you could probe into her heart of 0:16:42.730 --> 0:16:46.390 hearts and put a percentage on it, I think she 0:16:46.430 --> 0:16:46.970 wants to win 51-49. 0:16:46.970 --> 0:16:47.110 Yeah. 0:16:50.290 --> 0:16:57.710 Anyway, so one more interesting bit of timeline stuff. In 2022, 0:16:57.710 --> 0:17:02.920 the House was called eight days after the election. The 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:08.220 Senate was called four days after the election. In 2024, 0:17:08.220 --> 0:17:12.679 the House was called eight days later. The Senate was 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.359 called at midnight 06 Eastern on election night. 0:17:18.180 --> 0:17:24.409 So, you know. We'll call it the way we see it. 0:17:27.900 --> 0:17:31.859 I'm keeping my eye on El-Sayed's acceptance speech if he wins. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:33.420 Why? 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.440 I want to know if he's going to try to 0:17:35.540 --> 0:17:38.800 moderate it all or if he's going to think, ah, here. 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:39.510 We go, bitches. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:45.110 No, I still, my theory remains no. As a dedicated Islamist, 0:17:45.150 --> 0:17:47.709 he has a very, very long view. Now, you have 0:17:47.770 --> 0:17:51.149 pointed out that he doesn't seem willing or able to 0:17:51.270 --> 0:17:52.629 discipline himself at times. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:53.820 He just can't. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.070 Like that Ross Dutha interview on 60 Minutes. All he 0:17:58.090 --> 0:18:00.430 had to say was, does Israel, does Palestine have a 0:18:00.430 --> 0:18:00.830 right to? 0:18:00.930 --> 0:18:01.110 Yes. 0:18:01.490 --> 0:18:04.129 Does Israel have a right to? Yes, of course. Both do. 0:18:04.570 --> 0:18:06.230 We need a Tuesday. But no, he couldn't. 0:18:06.290 --> 0:18:09.930 No, Israel can only exist if they, and if we 0:18:10.050 --> 0:18:13.130 see this, he just, he doesn't have the discipline. But 0:18:13.950 --> 0:18:17.310 if he is reminded by his imam, what's at stake, 0:18:17.350 --> 0:18:20.090 he'll clamp down and continue to pretend to be what 0:18:20.130 --> 0:18:21.129 he's been pretending to be. 0:18:22.730 --> 0:18:25.320 One of the best political pundits in America with all 0:18:25.340 --> 0:18:28.640 the knowledge to back up his punditry. Lon Heachin coming 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:28.960 up next. 0:18:29.820 --> 0:18:42.330 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:18:44.790 --> 0:18:46.550 I was talking to my daughter, who's four years old, 0:18:47.470 --> 0:18:49.570 and I said, honey, we're going to start getting ready 0:18:49.630 --> 0:18:52.550 for our toy drive. We try to, you know, Give 0:18:52.690 --> 0:18:55.630 some toys to Toys for Tots. We're now in November 0:18:55.690 --> 0:18:59.810 getting ready for Christmas. And I'd like you to identify 0:18:59.869 --> 0:19:02.330 maybe a couple toys you'd like to donate here. So 0:19:02.369 --> 0:19:08.659 she brings me two of her brother's toys. And I 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.040 realized that despite my best efforts, ladies and gentlemen, I 0:19:12.060 --> 0:19:13.899 have apparently raised a Democrat. 0:19:15.300 --> 0:19:16.359 Hey, J.D. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.000 Vance working the room there. He is currently leading in 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.050 the polls. You average all the big polls. Who's going 0:19:24.070 --> 0:19:26.150 to be the nominee for president for Republican? 0:19:26.190 --> 0:19:26.470 J.D. 0:19:26.490 --> 0:19:28.100 Vance is in the lead by quite a bit. On 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:29.820 the Democratic side, it's Kamala Harris. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:30.540 So it's going to be J.D. 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.379 Vance versus Kamala Harris for 2028 for president, except for these. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.200 Early polls are always, always wrong. 0:19:38.380 --> 0:19:38.880 Oh, boy. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.730 To discuss this and much, much more, Lonnie Chen, David 0:19:42.750 --> 0:19:45.450 and Diane Steffi Fellow in American Public Policy Studies at 0:19:45.470 --> 0:19:48.780 the Hoover Institution. Lonhee's also the Director of Domestic Policy 0:19:48.820 --> 0:19:50.340 Studies at Stanford University. 0:19:50.380 --> 0:19:52.120 And he joins us now. Lonhee, how are you, sir? 0:19:52.940 --> 0:19:54.659 I'm doing well. Great to be with you both on 0:19:54.700 --> 0:19:55.240 Election Day. 0:19:55.380 --> 0:19:57.899 So here's our theory in talking to you, because we're 0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.520 going to have you on tomorrow when we'll actually have 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.340 some results to talk about. But since we ain't got 0:20:01.380 --> 0:20:03.560 no results today, thought we thought maybe we'd talk about 0:20:04.410 --> 0:20:07.750 the presidential election, which I'm told kicks off tonight when 0:20:07.790 --> 0:20:10.180 the polls close. So let's start with the premise. All 0:20:10.220 --> 0:20:14.020 the pundits out there that say the race for 2028 0:20:14.020 --> 0:20:15.919 for the presidency begins tonight. 0:20:15.980 --> 0:20:16.440 Is that true? 0:20:17.820 --> 0:20:21.220 The race for the 2028 presidency began two years ago. 0:20:22.619 --> 0:20:25.100 It's just that we'll see it bubble up, you know, 0:20:25.140 --> 0:20:27.740 beyond the surface tonight. I mean, the funny thing is 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.940 you interview not you, but the media has interviewed all 0:20:31.980 --> 0:20:33.810 of these people who are probably going to run and 0:20:33.850 --> 0:20:38.070 they've had to basically not say they're running. But somehow 0:20:38.150 --> 0:20:41.370 it becomes acceptable starting tomorrow for them to say they 0:20:41.430 --> 0:20:44.609 are running. And this stupid charade we play in American 0:20:44.650 --> 0:20:47.970 politics where, oh, you know, I'm really focused. 0:20:48.030 --> 0:20:48.760 I heard J.B. 0:20:48.790 --> 0:20:51.399 Pritzker, the governor of Illinois. I'm really focused on the 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.920
