WEBVTT - Now You're Both Lost! 0:00:06.820 --> 0:00:11.270 Now broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at 0:00:11.310 --> 0:00:13.389 the George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:30.780 --> 0:00:33.150 Comes spinning out of the parking lot, charging through the 0:00:33.229 --> 0:00:36.610 hallways and onto the elevator with the one-nosed lead, Jack Armstrong. 0:00:36.670 --> 0:00:40.250 Coming out of turn number one into the hallway by 0:00:40.290 --> 0:00:42.570 the studio, he has really got a head of steam. 0:00:42.610 --> 0:00:45.340 You see the white flash? Yeah, he's still here. Oh, 0:00:45.380 --> 0:00:53.569 there he is. Play the door, Mike. Sure am. I 0:00:53.590 --> 0:00:55.630 had this good line I was going to use for 0:00:55.980 --> 0:00:56.720 the very opening. 0:00:57.340 --> 0:00:59.980 I wrote it down and somewhere in my car and 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.220 I was for my truck and I was digging around 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:08.690 under the seat in that whatever is the horrible region 0:01:08.730 --> 0:01:10.410 of the world that is the under the seat of 0:01:10.450 --> 0:01:13.920 a car. With all the wires and pointy things and 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.399 inexplicable stickiness. 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.860 Right, what is going on under there? Anyway, I couldn't 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.240 find it. So where are we? Did you give the 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.780 title of the show yet? Oh, no, no. 0:01:21.819 --> 0:01:23.960 I was just pretending you were a horse in a 0:01:24.020 --> 0:01:25.930 race and spinning around the turn and coming out of 0:01:25.940 --> 0:01:26.810 the elevator itself. 0:01:26.830 --> 0:01:28.330 That's pretty funny. Eh, what the hell. 0:01:28.490 --> 0:01:30.610 And today, here on the Armstrong and Getty Show, we're 0:01:30.630 --> 0:01:32.050 toiling under the title of the show. 0:01:32.510 --> 0:01:38.350 I See London, I See France Dying. Or if you prefer... 0:01:38.810 --> 0:01:41.850 Pretty good. Thanks, I enjoyed that myself. 0:01:42.450 --> 0:01:46.000 If you prefer a cheerier note, the midterms will be 0:01:46.110 --> 0:01:48.120 over soon, proving there is a God. 0:01:48.260 --> 0:01:52.840 Yeah. Does everybody understand at this point the Republicans pounce 0:01:53.020 --> 0:01:55.660 thing in journalism? I know we've talked about it a 0:01:55.690 --> 0:01:57.750 bunch of times, but I was just listening to NPR 0:01:57.810 --> 0:02:02.560 driving in and... Republicans capitalize is the same as Republicans pounce. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.170 Right-wingers in France are capitalizing on the protests over the weekend, 0:02:07.190 --> 0:02:09.609 and then they do a negative story about Marine Le. 0:02:09.550 --> 0:02:11.930 Pen, acting like that's the story. 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.440 Anytime you hear Republicans pounce or right-wingers capitalize or whatever, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.400 what they're doing is they're ignoring the story. The story 0:02:21.580 --> 0:02:23.919 is they have the worst riots in France they've had 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.280 in a half a century. 0:02:25.540 --> 0:02:27.840 And they're dying of socialism, yes. It's also a story. 0:02:27.910 --> 0:02:29.250 And rampant immigration, yeah. 0:02:29.350 --> 0:02:31.690 It's also a story that Marine Le Pen will probably 0:02:31.710 --> 0:02:35.270 get elected. President of France and she would be the 0:02:35.550 --> 0:02:37.130 most extreme right wing candidate, blah, blah, blah. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.560 It's also true. But to only frame everything as Republicans pounce. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.990 Or right wingers capitalize or whatever and ignore the story 0:02:46.370 --> 0:02:48.290 is what journalism does over and over again. And I'll 0:02:48.310 --> 0:02:51.000 tell you, once you become aware of it. You won't 0:02:51.060 --> 0:02:52.430 believe how often you see it. 0:02:52.770 --> 0:02:53.890 Oh, it's omnipresent, yeah. 0:02:54.330 --> 0:02:58.090 You got two senators murder somebody. Republican, the headline is 0:02:58.150 --> 0:03:01.950 Republican Senator Accused of Murder. Democratic Senator, the headline is 0:03:02.250 --> 0:03:05.590 Republicans Pounce on Accusations of Crime. 0:03:05.870 --> 0:03:06.870 Right, right. 0:03:06.950 --> 0:03:09.049 It won't even say Democrat crime or anything. It'll just 0:03:09.070 --> 0:03:12.090 say Republicans Pounce. That is exactly right. 0:03:12.310 --> 0:03:14.730 So have you nailed down the Wall Street Journal's big 0:03:14.770 --> 0:03:18.850 story that they reported yesterday was Elon shut down the Starlink, 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.489 Star whatever that thing is, He shut. 0:03:21.300 --> 0:03:22.600 That star shield. 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.840 That Elon was the guy that slowed that stuff down 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.340 so Ukraine couldn't defend itself. 0:03:28.500 --> 0:03:31.000 It wasn't the president. It wasn't the White House. It 0:03:31.020 --> 0:03:31.620 was Elon. 0:03:32.180 --> 0:03:35.170 Despite Elon's pretty strong denials last week. 0:03:36.250 --> 0:03:37.730 What do you know about it? 0:03:37.730 --> 0:03:41.490 I know somebody's lying. Multiple somebodies are lying. And it 0:03:41.590 --> 0:03:44.720 is impossible to figure out what the hell is going on. 0:03:45.060 --> 0:03:47.880 That's what I've nailed now. Is there a reason for 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:53.130 Elon to lie about it? Uh, yeah. 0:03:53.270 --> 0:03:53.690 Oh, yeah. 0:03:53.810 --> 0:03:57.000 Possibly. Sure. Let me, I'll give you the brief outline. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:02.740 So the journal, the headline is Elon Musk ordered the slowdown, blah, blah, blah. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.000 Decision sparked panic in Kiev, et cetera, and confusion inside 0:04:06.020 --> 0:04:06.930 the Trump administration. 0:04:07.340 --> 0:04:07.990 According to U.S. 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.990 Officials and people familiar with the matter, people unfamiliar with 0:04:11.010 --> 0:04:11.830 the matter probably. 0:04:11.610 --> 0:04:13.510 Shouldn't be commenting at all. No, don't ask them. That's 0:04:13.530 --> 0:04:15.010 just me. If somebody says, I don't know what you're 0:04:15.030 --> 0:04:15.950 talking about, just move on. 0:04:16.470 --> 0:04:18.950 Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which the Ukrainian 0:04:18.970 --> 0:04:21.690 hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network. 0:04:21.730 --> 0:04:22.490 Et cetera. Okay. 0:04:22.510 --> 0:04:22.589 Yeah. 0:04:23.570 --> 0:04:26.029 Musk and Trump discussed the Starlink decision in a call 0:04:26.130 --> 0:04:29.909 soon after the slowdown became public. After, while the president 0:04:29.930 --> 0:04:32.310 was campaigning, one of the people also claimed Musk and 0:04:32.330 --> 0:04:35.929 Trump discussed the matter prior to the decision to throttle Starlink. 0:04:37.290 --> 0:04:41.929 Wait a minute now. That's completely different. During the uproar, 0:04:41.970 --> 0:04:48.020 SpaceX representatives called White House counterparts seeking a unified understanding 0:04:48.380 --> 0:04:51.820 and subsequent message that the company and Trump could coordinate 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.200 ahead of Musk's directive, the people said. Then Musk himself 0:04:56.290 --> 0:04:59.610 posted on X hours after the slowdown became public. Any 0:04:59.690 --> 0:05:01.950 limits on speed or usage are decided by the U.S. 0:05:01.990 --> 0:05:07.750 military and ultimately POTUS. Oh, and then Trump said, I 0:05:07.790 --> 0:05:09.890 don't know who's responsible. I'd like to find out. 0:05:10.050 --> 0:05:12.940 So somebody's lying. Or ass covering. 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.760 Why do you think the Wall Street Journal reported it 0:05:14.779 --> 0:05:15.960 is that they've figured it out? 0:05:16.339 --> 0:05:18.800 Because they like their sources. They believe these people. 0:05:19.580 --> 0:05:22.480 Although there is that conflict between they talked about it after, 0:05:22.500 --> 0:05:24.780 they talked about it before. I mean, if they talked 0:05:24.820 --> 0:05:27.180 about it before and Trump hinted strongly that it ought 0:05:27.220 --> 0:05:30.799 to happen, and Elon said to the SpaceX people, yeah, 0:05:30.860 --> 0:05:34.450 slow down the speed limit on Starshield for the Ukrainians. 0:05:34.810 --> 0:05:37.609 Okay, so I don't know. 0:05:37.630 --> 0:05:41.730 So I'm pro-supporting Ukraine, as I've said 8 million times, 0:05:41.750 --> 0:05:43.990 so that's not a surprise. But if it turns out 0:05:44.110 --> 0:05:47.089 Elon slowed it down, more than just the, I don't 0:05:47.130 --> 0:05:49.200 agree that he should have done with that, That'd be 0:05:49.220 --> 0:05:51.730 a heck of a thing. Has that ever happened in 0:05:52.710 --> 0:05:57.210 recent world history? Where one businessman has the power to 0:05:57.550 --> 0:06:01.029 have an opinion on a war and greatly affect its outcome? 0:06:01.310 --> 0:06:03.469 One guy? Sure. Can you imagine if. 0:06:03.450 --> 0:06:08.520 Lockheed or General Dynamics or something decided, you know, our 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.500 ally Australia, for instance, is. 0:06:12.110 --> 0:06:14.910 I'm not loving their policies toward India. You know what? 0:06:15.270 --> 0:06:16.990 I'm going to slow down the submarines. 0:06:17.370 --> 0:06:20.210 I've got a kill switch or, you know, they depend 0:06:20.310 --> 0:06:22.820 on us for this software or whatever. I'm going to 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.479 slow down the submarines. I mean, that would be an 0:06:26.540 --> 0:06:30.599 enormous change in the way defense technology works and who's 0:06:30.900 --> 0:06:31.820 got the power. 0:06:32.490 --> 0:06:33.020 Well, right. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.089 And then so going forward, if you're the president of 0:06:36.110 --> 0:06:37.950 the United States and you decide to go to war 0:06:37.990 --> 0:06:41.210 with a country, you've got to make sure– Zuckerberg's on 0:06:41.270 --> 0:06:43.950 board and Elon Musk and a couple of other people, 0:06:44.350 --> 0:06:46.750 Dario and Anthropic, make sure they're on board because they 0:06:46.790 --> 0:06:48.690 have the ability on their own. 0:06:49.510 --> 0:06:50.909 To affect our policy? 0:06:52.450 --> 0:06:55.150 So I suspect very strongly, this is just my gut feeling, 0:06:55.190 --> 0:06:57.680 that the source that said, oh yeah, they talked before, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.400 knows more than the source that said they just talked after. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.700 And that it was made clear to Elon. 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.120 Again would fit a pattern of quite a few statements 0:07:08.140 --> 0:07:10.500 he's made in recent days and he wanted to uh 0:07:10.540 --> 0:07:12.320 send a shot across the bow or just mess with 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.500 them or or something or other and then elon obliged 0:07:17.140 --> 0:07:21.120 and then when it became public and virtually everybody went 0:07:21.140 --> 0:07:25.030 nuts everybody's like yeah it wasn't my decision it wasn't 0:07:25.050 --> 0:07:28.410 my decision he did it you told me to do it. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:30.780 I think it's one of those. 0:07:31.380 --> 0:07:33.620 One more thing on this topic, which I continue to 0:07:33.670 --> 0:07:37.150 claim is going to tear the Republican Party apart. I 0:07:37.170 --> 0:07:39.210 was watching Fox and Friends this morning, and they went 0:07:39.250 --> 0:07:43.330 to their correspondent Hoffman. I don't know if we've ever 0:07:43.370 --> 0:07:47.130 had this guy on. He's there in Russia, I guess. 0:07:47.150 --> 0:07:48.960 He's a correspondent over there in that part of the world. 0:07:50.950 --> 0:07:54.090 And he was very negative on this whole peace plan thing. 0:07:54.490 --> 0:07:56.290 And one of the hosts on Fox & Friends sitting 0:07:56.310 --> 0:07:58.290 on the curvy couch was even like, yeah, a lot 0:07:58.310 --> 0:08:00.890 of our viewers, you know, they notice how negative you 0:08:01.050 --> 0:08:02.050 are on this whole thing. 0:08:02.190 --> 0:08:04.920 Yeah, and he said, yeah, I have. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.100 Never seen one indication whatsoever that Vladimir Putin has any 0:08:09.220 --> 0:08:12.100 interest in stopping his goal of taking over Kiev and 0:08:12.140 --> 0:08:14.060 installing a puppet government. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.030 I mean, he was not even close to. 0:08:18.300 --> 0:08:21.180 Even want to throw out, there's a possibility that this 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.120 is going to be a deal the world should like. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:29.730 That's on Fox. Yeah, yeah. So, I don't know where 0:08:29.750 --> 0:08:31.690 this is going to end up politically. Well, he's right. 0:08:31.750 --> 0:08:33.530 Anybody who thinks Putin is going to come around to 0:08:33.550 --> 0:08:36.550 a peaceful resolution, and it's all about NATO. He was 0:08:36.570 --> 0:08:40.689 just worried about NATO. You've been lied to. You've been fooled. 0:08:40.770 --> 0:08:42.150 Well, the reason they're talking about it, and we haven't 0:08:42.170 --> 0:08:44.170 brought it up yet, so we got a guy back. 0:08:44.530 --> 0:08:48.770 Russia scooped up an American citizen. who was in Ukraine 0:08:48.790 --> 0:08:50.690 at the beginning of the war, grabbed him illegally, and 0:08:50.710 --> 0:08:53.120 has been holding him all this time, and by many accounts, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.440 torturing him and making his life quite miserable. We've been 0:08:57.460 --> 0:08:59.339 trying to get this guy back for quite a while, 0:08:59.540 --> 0:09:01.900 and Putin announced that he's going to give the guy back. 0:09:02.770 --> 0:09:06.540 And the correspondent, this Hoffman guy on Fox, said it's 0:09:06.660 --> 0:09:10.600 such a clear trying to play Trump by acting like, oh, well, 0:09:10.620 --> 0:09:13.260 I'm a good guy. See, I'm giving me when you 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.000 shouldn't have taken him in the first place. You're holding 0:09:15.020 --> 0:09:17.540 this guy illegally. You should get no credit for this. 0:09:18.179 --> 0:09:20.960 Go ahead, Mike. Go ahead. I think we all know 0:09:21.020 --> 0:09:27.130 with Trump, this sort of thing could work. Michael, play 81. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.420 This is Steve Witkoff, as long as we're talking about this. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:34.460 You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.260 a humanitarian. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.080 You are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that 0:09:40.100 --> 0:09:42.100 and I commend you and I thank you again. 0:09:42.500 --> 0:09:46.220 That's Steve Witkoff saluting and commending Vladimir Putin for being 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:51.920 a humanitarian. I get if you're in charge of freeing 0:09:51.980 --> 0:09:54.160 Americans and getting them loose, you know what? I would 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:59.050 call an octopus a lion, I suppose. But that, those words, 0:09:59.150 --> 0:10:01.420 I think those words work. choking in his throat. He 0:10:01.460 --> 0:10:04.620 kept stumbling. I don't think it was jet lag. His 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.900 conscience punching him in the face. 0:10:07.300 --> 0:10:09.319 It's hard to imagine a situation in which calling an 0:10:09.340 --> 0:10:11.720 octopus a lion would be of any benefit to anyone. 0:10:11.780 --> 0:10:14.520 Yeah, I think I illustrated the point just fine. Everybody 0:10:14.580 --> 0:10:14.950 found it. 0:10:15.700 --> 0:10:20.520 I just think you're picking nits off of an elephant, lion, octopus, creature. 0:10:20.700 --> 0:10:21.559 I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:10:21.580 --> 0:10:22.200 He's Joe Getty. 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.460 On this, it is Wednesday, middle of the week, October 21st, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.020 the year 2026. We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve 0:10:28.059 --> 0:10:28.640 of this program. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:29.360 Here we go, then. 0:10:29.420 --> 0:10:31.780 Officially, according to FCC rules and regs, the show starts 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:32.340 at mark. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.910 Wait, wait, wait. I'll be quiet. Be quiet. What's wrong 0:10:36.950 --> 0:10:38.390 with you? Are you a sick person? 0:10:39.090 --> 0:10:39.850 Not that at all, sir. 0:10:39.990 --> 0:10:43.319 Mr. President, I'm a sick person. I actually think there's 0:10:43.340 --> 0:10:49.020 something wrong with you. Go ahead. I've felt that way before. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.319 I just don't have enough power like the president does 0:10:53.380 --> 0:10:55.660 in a meeting to say, quiet, quiet, quiet. 0:10:56.740 --> 0:10:58.880 What's wrong with you? I think there's something wrong with you. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:10:59.859 That was a new move. 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:00.460 Grrr, grrr. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:10.480 Katie, how are the headlines looking? Depressing? Oh, always. Tedious? No, 0:11:10.540 --> 0:11:13.500 they'll be delightful and informative. That's the way you should 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.140 have described them. A delight. They will be delighted. We've 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:33.420 got them next. Stay here. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:11:33.450 --> 0:11:40.949 I don't know why, but the 21st of October, I 0:11:40.990 --> 0:11:43.110 feel like I can smell Thanksgiving from here. 0:11:43.610 --> 0:11:45.570 That's how close we are. We're that close to the 0:11:45.590 --> 0:11:46.130 holiday season. 0:11:46.570 --> 0:11:48.449 Had to go to any of the big stores, you'd 0:11:48.470 --> 0:11:49.709 think Christmas is tomorrow. 0:11:49.870 --> 0:11:54.490 Oh yeah, no doubt. No doubt. Let's figure out who's 0:11:54.550 --> 0:11:57.030 reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green. 0:11:57.050 --> 0:11:57.170 Katie? 0:11:57.190 --> 0:11:57.430 Katie? 0:11:58.170 --> 0:12:01.710 All right, well, the Alphabet Networks are all covering how 0:12:01.770 --> 0:12:08.000 Russia freed the Americans. CNN, Russia frees 74-year-old American captured 0:12:08.050 --> 0:12:12.960 in occupied Ukraine. ABC, detained American released by Russia as 0:12:13.100 --> 0:12:19.179 Witkoff meets Putin. And CBS, U.S. citizen released by Russia 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.850 after four years in jail and Trump said no swaps. 0:12:24.429 --> 0:12:24.689 Good. 0:12:24.710 --> 0:12:27.990 Glad to hear that. Because last time there was. 0:12:27.929 --> 0:12:29.600 Some sort of swap, we gave him back like one 0:12:29.620 --> 0:12:31.000 of the worst terrorists in the world. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:37.520 Wrong. The swap is for Ukraine. Hmm. 0:12:38.710 --> 0:12:39.160 Yeah. 0:12:39.260 --> 0:12:41.670 Yeah, I realize that's going to happen. But I'm glad 0:12:41.730 --> 0:12:43.890 in addition to that, we're not giving them a bad criminal. 0:12:44.950 --> 0:12:47.110 Fair enough. New York Post. 0:12:47.770 --> 0:12:52.120 Ukraine's Zelensky says he'd accept a peace deal with Russia that, quote, 0:12:52.300 --> 0:12:55.940 freezes the front lines and that's, quote, the real way 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:56.819 to end the war. 0:12:56.980 --> 0:12:59.920 I feel like that's new information. I don't remember hearing 0:12:59.940 --> 0:13:02.540 him say that before. Freezing the front lines would be 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.280 giving up a pretty big chunk of the country. Maybe 0:13:06.300 --> 0:13:08.160 he just realizes that's the best he can. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.010 Do at this point. This one from NBC. 0:13:12.450 --> 0:13:17.010 Trump keeps promising goodies on the campaign trail, but only 0:13:17.030 --> 0:13:18.319 if Republicans win. 0:13:19.100 --> 0:13:22.620 Yeah, $ 8 billion or $ 80. 0:13:21.900 --> 0:13:24.520 Billion, however much money it was to help out farmers 0:13:25.580 --> 0:13:28.059 because of the high costs from diesel and everything else. 0:13:29.420 --> 0:13:32.339 Yeah, the list is actually getting a little bit comical. 0:13:33.690 --> 0:13:35.850 And if you poll people, do you think this will 0:13:35.870 --> 0:13:36.350 ever happen? 0:13:36.370 --> 0:13:42.020 You'll ever get it? They say overwhelming. No. Financial Times. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.780 Musk backs SpaceX Tesla merger idea as both boards form 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:48.599 special committees. 0:13:48.940 --> 0:13:49.219 It's funny. 0:13:49.260 --> 0:13:54.320 I was talking to my financial advisor yesterday who actually said, man, 0:13:54.340 --> 0:13:57.160 SpaceX is looking good because I'm my first ever. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.620 What did I call it? Emotional stock purchase ever. 0:14:03.950 --> 0:14:05.250 But I just got into it because I just think 0:14:05.290 --> 0:14:06.410 it'd be cool to be in it, not me, because 0:14:06.450 --> 0:14:08.970 I think it's the best idea out there. But SpaceX 0:14:08.990 --> 0:14:12.069 had a really good start since their IPO, and SpaceX 0:14:12.130 --> 0:14:14.270 and Tesla are going to merge. And that's part of 0:14:14.330 --> 0:14:16.630 what you saw with that rocket car last week, is 0:14:16.650 --> 0:14:18.869 just the merger of those two companies. 0:14:20.710 --> 0:14:21.350 Fox News. 0:14:22.130 --> 0:14:28.229 Obama campaigning for Al-Sayed in final stretch before the midterm elections. 0:14:31.740 --> 0:14:35.450 Interesting poll out showing the Democrats way too close in 0:14:35.470 --> 0:14:40.010 the governor's race in Florida where they could be take 0:14:40.090 --> 0:14:42.630 over the governor's house in Florida for the first time 0:14:42.670 --> 0:14:46.130 in 30 years or something yeah that's wild is Byron 0:14:46.150 --> 0:14:49.230 Donald just a weak candidate I haven't followed it much. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.740 Also the New York Post creep in a Joe Biden 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.960 mask terrifies Texas family by eating a banana at. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:03.730 Their front door in the dark So I hear a noise. 0:15:03.790 --> 0:15:05.430 I go out to my front door and there's somebody 0:15:05.450 --> 0:15:07.150 in a Joe Biden mask eating a banana. 0:15:07.370 --> 0:15:09.690 Well, and of course, it's a ring camera because those 0:15:09.730 --> 0:15:11.130 videos are everywhere now. 0:15:11.230 --> 0:15:14.560 Not sure how I'd react to that. It is creepy looking. 0:15:14.860 --> 0:15:20.820 I would not be pleased. Hey, kids, look. Some stranger in. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:24.680 A Biden mask eating a banana on her patio. 0:15:24.980 --> 0:15:27.270 I wasn't super nice to a guy that came to 0:15:27.310 --> 0:15:29.190 my door. Was it yesterday or the day before? I 0:15:29.230 --> 0:15:30.090 ought to tell that story. 0:15:30.820 --> 0:15:31.100 Uh-oh. 0:15:31.460 --> 0:15:32.000 Please do. 0:15:32.260 --> 0:15:33.740 I don't like it when people come to my door 0:15:33.780 --> 0:15:34.460 selling me stuff. 0:15:34.540 --> 0:15:36.680 I hate that. Oh, sure. Yeah, get out. 0:15:36.700 --> 0:15:40.250 You have to get a no soliciting sign and then 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:41.130 just point at it. 0:15:41.570 --> 0:15:44.490 That's what I do. I feel like that should be 0:15:44.510 --> 0:15:46.230 an understood for all Americans. 0:15:46.490 --> 0:15:49.450 I don't want anything you have to sell at my 0:15:49.490 --> 0:15:52.710 front door. I know how to find everything. 0:15:51.930 --> 0:15:54.230 On planet Earth. Get away from me. 0:15:55.860 --> 0:16:00.400 Like, oh, some traveling salesman or door-to-door specialist once said 0:16:00.450 --> 0:16:03.450 to us, a lot of people see those signs and 0:16:03.470 --> 0:16:05.690 they think, oh, that's a person who doesn't have the 0:16:05.830 --> 0:16:07.110 will to say no. 0:16:07.730 --> 0:16:11.910 Oh, wow. And so that sign indicates an easy mark. Oh, wow. 0:16:12.370 --> 0:16:15.170 I'll have to tell my story because everyone can judge 0:16:15.190 --> 0:16:16.040 if I went too far or not. 0:16:17.670 --> 0:16:24.070 New York Times. Roadkill, meat cereal, and raw chicken. Inside 0:16:24.110 --> 0:16:26.250 the world of dark nutrition. 0:16:28.290 --> 0:16:34.410 What? It's a whole influencing channel, pretty much. Well, we'll 0:16:34.430 --> 0:16:38.510 get into that. Dark nutrition. Dark nutrition. It's a terrible name. 0:16:40.540 --> 0:16:42.660 And finally, the Babylon Bee. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:48.220 French shop owners hang hams over doorposts so rioters. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.820 Will pass them by. There was a story out. 0:16:51.950 --> 0:16:54.110 If true, pretty disturbing the other day that you could 0:16:54.250 --> 0:16:56.150 look at a street in one of your cities there 0:16:56.210 --> 0:17:01.670 in France and the shops owned by Muslim immigrants or 0:17:02.930 --> 0:17:05.790 people that had come to France and were Muslim had 0:17:05.810 --> 0:17:08.119 been bypassed and all the Jewish shops had been hit. 0:17:08.750 --> 0:17:09.790 I don't know if that's true or not. 0:17:09.810 --> 0:17:14.250 Well, I heard multiple, multiple reports from very reliable outlets 0:17:14.290 --> 0:17:18.070 saying that, yeah, the Jewish-owned businesses had been targeted. 0:17:19.330 --> 0:17:23.250 Crystal knocked, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Sure. Google it. 0:17:23.270 --> 0:17:26.910 I could spend the entire show talking about France. This 0:17:26.990 --> 0:17:29.830 is an amazingly important and troubling tale. 0:17:30.790 --> 0:17:31.170 Yeah. 0:17:31.859 --> 0:17:34.280 So is me dealing with the solicitor at my door. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:35.840 Lots of stuff on the way, sir. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:37.660 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:43.570 --> 0:17:46.770 Since it came up, Trump is doing tons of rallies. 0:17:47.310 --> 0:17:52.600 Just from a energy of an old man standpoint, it's 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.419 pretty damn impressive. That schedule is something else. But he 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.760 is at a rally last night and he promised another thing. 0:17:59.220 --> 0:18:04.350 And so he's $ 5, 000 to everyone if the Republicans take 0:18:04.390 --> 0:18:07.230 back the House and however many billion dollars to farmers 0:18:07.290 --> 0:18:10.330 if the Republicans... So we got this text. Trump promising 0:18:10.390 --> 0:18:15.290 stuff is ridiculous. Trump promising stuff in response to the socialist. 0:18:14.890 --> 0:18:16.670 Promising stuff makes sense. 0:18:16.690 --> 0:18:19.620 I don't know if I agree, but the Democrats calling 0:18:19.690 --> 0:18:22.600 out Trump for promising free stuff is the most ridiculous. 0:18:22.780 --> 0:18:28.159 That's true. That's true. That's true. You're giving out stuff 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:29.000 to the tune of. 0:18:29.740 --> 0:18:32.840 Two hundred trillion dollars was the number Bill Maher had 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.560 for if all of the DSA stuff came true, it 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:41.000 cost two hundred trillion dollars, which is obviously like, you know, 0:18:41.020 --> 0:18:42.220 a made up number practically. 0:18:43.140 --> 0:18:45.920 So, yeah. And then complaining that Trump's trying to buy 0:18:45.980 --> 0:18:48.889 votes is pretty funny. It is indeed. 0:18:48.930 --> 0:18:51.149 Yeah, we've been talking about silly season for some time now, 0:18:51.190 --> 0:18:52.190 but it just keeps getting. 0:18:52.050 --> 0:18:55.580 Sillier and sillier. So, here's what happened. So, last night, 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.379 it's always busy at my house. Both kids are home 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.660 and everything like that. My youngest is at the table 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.850 with his math tutor working on math. I'm in the 0:19:03.990 --> 0:19:06.490 bedroom changing clothes because I got to go do something. 0:19:06.570 --> 0:19:08.970 I run to the pharmacy or something like that. And 0:19:09.130 --> 0:19:11.060 I didn't hear the doorbell, but my son comes and 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.939 knocks on the door. And Henry said, the doorbells rang twice. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.240 There's somebody at the door, and I'm trying to do 0:19:16.260 --> 0:19:17.380 my math. Can you go get the door? 0:19:17.420 --> 0:19:21.020 So I'm frustrated already because I'm like naked at this point, 0:19:21.060 --> 0:19:22.260 and I'm not going to go to the door naked. 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:23.699 I might have gone to the door naked if the 0:19:23.740 --> 0:19:26.510 math tutor hadn't been there, but I can't be naked 0:19:26.550 --> 0:19:27.370 in front of college girls. 0:19:27.450 --> 0:19:30.530 It's just not appropriate on any level. It won't end well. 0:19:30.910 --> 0:19:33.369 So I put on some pants and a T-shirt, and 0:19:33.390 --> 0:19:36.930 I go to the door, and I probably didn't start 0:19:36.950 --> 0:19:39.430 the best way. I mean, I wait to see, because 0:19:39.470 --> 0:19:42.040 it might be a Girl Scout selling cookies. I'm very 0:19:42.300 --> 0:19:45.680 friendly and open-minded to that sort of thing. Or, you know, 0:19:46.010 --> 0:19:48.610 our dog is lost. I'm very nice about that sort 0:19:48.630 --> 0:19:49.310 of thing. Anything. 0:19:49.869 --> 0:19:53.679 But this was clearly not that sort of thing and 0:19:53.740 --> 0:19:56.800 i'm lost get lost now you're both lost if you 0:19:59.000 --> 0:19:59.880 you're both lost. 0:20:01.690 --> 0:20:03.570 I opened the door and just got the look of 0:20:03.869 --> 0:20:05.449 somebody trying to sell me something. I said, are you 0:20:05.470 --> 0:20:06.470 going to try to sell me something? 0:20:06.490 --> 0:20:07.030 It was the. 0:20:06.990 --> 0:20:08.560 First thing I said. I don't even know if I 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.880 said hello. And he said, no, absolutely not. I'm here 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:17.080 to talk about electricity. I don't know if you've seen 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.960 on a lot of houses around here, there are white 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:20.200 boxes next to houses. 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:20.500 I said. 0:20:21.060 --> 0:20:23.340 And just so you don't waste your time or my time, 0:20:23.740 --> 0:20:25.659 I'm a renter. I don't own this place, so I 0:20:25.700 --> 0:20:29.399 can't do anything like that, any upgrades. I'm just talking 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.300 about electricity, if you've seen the white boxes around. And 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:33.800 he went a little bit longer, and I said, okay, 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.139 I'm going to give you 20 seconds to explain what 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:37.990
