WEBVTT - I Pray For Your Soul 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:15.420 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.419 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.680 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:19.860 --> 0:00:26.890 Armstrong and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:34.220 --> 0:00:35.979 If you watch what he does in these town halls, 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:37.640 and by the way, the format is excellent. 0:00:37.700 --> 0:00:39.879 I do agree that having the voters sit down and 0:00:40.020 --> 0:00:42.620 ask questions themselves and follow-ups, it's great. 0:00:43.020 --> 0:00:44.610 But I don't think the answers were any better. 0:00:44.729 --> 0:00:48.430 People have seen this in the recent past with Barack Obama. 0:00:48.550 --> 0:00:53.370 Obama was excellent at reciting conservative arguments back at voters 0:00:54.210 --> 0:00:56.570 to make them believe that he was on their side. 0:00:57.050 --> 0:01:00.510 But he would then choose the most radical left-wing position 0:01:01.130 --> 0:01:03.710 and You saw that with Tallarico tonight because he danced 0:01:03.750 --> 0:01:05.170 around some of the questions he was asked. 0:01:05.610 --> 0:01:06.970 That's Joel Pollack. 0:01:07.010 --> 0:01:10.770 Dancing. That's another clue. Stay with us. Wow. 0:01:11.950 --> 0:01:15.479 That's Joel Pollack of the California Post. And I don't 0:01:15.500 --> 0:01:17.700 know if you know this, but there's no law that 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.800 says you actually adhere to the policy you claimed on 0:01:22.819 --> 0:01:25.970 the campaign trail. Right. So you can say whatever the 0:01:25.990 --> 0:01:29.090 hell you want. I'm surprised more politicians aren't better at this. 0:01:30.010 --> 0:01:31.550 Of course, you have to you have to thread the 0:01:31.590 --> 0:01:34.669 needle of you don't want to lose your own crowd 0:01:34.870 --> 0:01:37.709 where they think, oh, he doesn't agree with me at all. 0:01:37.770 --> 0:01:40.300 So you lose those votes. So it takes some skill. 0:01:40.819 --> 0:01:44.280 And James Tallarico, the Democrat running for the Senate in Texas, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:51.120 is currently leading over Ken Paxton, the Republican, who is 0:01:51.180 --> 0:01:54.570 the sitting attorney general of Texas and a crook, I believe. 0:01:57.030 --> 0:02:04.360 She got the woke vote. Communist liar, weirdo minister running 0:02:04.380 --> 0:02:08.430 against kind of an old school corrupt crook was the 0:02:08.490 --> 0:02:12.290 race in Texas. And five hundred million dollars has been 0:02:12.330 --> 0:02:14.330 spent in that race. The race, the most expensive race 0:02:14.350 --> 0:02:16.430 in the country, the most expensive race outside of a 0:02:16.470 --> 0:02:21.250 presidential race there's ever been. Because the Senate is basically tied, 0:02:21.290 --> 0:02:25.200 the House is basically tied, we've got 19 days to go, 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.500 and we are full into silly season already. So the 0:02:29.540 --> 0:02:33.640 last couple of weeks of people throwing around garbage and 0:02:33.820 --> 0:02:37.990 trying to find things to damage their opponent with could 0:02:38.030 --> 0:02:43.630 get really entertaining. Or depressing, depending on how you look 0:02:43.650 --> 0:02:47.530 at it. So I want to get into the I 0:02:47.570 --> 0:02:51.570 love trans children controversy, which has not been, I know 0:02:51.610 --> 0:02:55.220 you're going to find this shocking, has not been fairly 0:02:55.260 --> 0:03:02.440 portrayed in all campaign ads. But before we get to that, J.D. 0:03:02.500 --> 0:03:07.019 Vance said this yesterday, doing a speech, and he brought 0:03:07.100 --> 0:03:10.020 up James Tallarico of Texas in this little speech. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.799 Now, before we get started, I love you too, sir. 0:03:13.650 --> 0:03:19.510 In a totally platonic way. To be clear. I'm the 0:03:19.550 --> 0:03:22.960 vice president, not James Tallarico. But I gotta. 0:03:25.530 --> 0:03:28.940 Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute, is he hinting 0:03:28.980 --> 0:03:31.080 that Mr. Tallarico is a homosexual? 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.500 Well, and I think also hinting that there's something wrong 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.820 with that, isn't he? So... I don't know that I 0:03:39.900 --> 0:03:42.180 dig that joke, but here's two takes on it, and 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:46.050 then you tell me where you land. First, Caitlin Flanagan 0:03:46.270 --> 0:03:48.230 of the Free Press, who I often like. She is 0:03:48.250 --> 0:03:49.770 to the left of me. I often like her writing, 0:03:49.790 --> 0:03:54.370 but this is what she said about that quip and 0:03:54.410 --> 0:03:57.610 the cheering from J.D. Vance and his crowd. The miracle 0:03:57.630 --> 0:03:59.910 of the last 20 years has been that Americans finally 0:03:59.960 --> 0:04:02.660 realize that everyone has a gay friend or family member 0:04:02.740 --> 0:04:05.160 or hillbilly and that the time for this kind of 0:04:05.260 --> 0:04:07.380 ignorance is over and everyone can go home where they're 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.980 truly loved. Pray for this suffering man. I don't know 0:04:10.020 --> 0:04:12.220 if he meant, if she meant J.D. Vance is a 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.180 suffering man for still making gay jokes. And she is 0:04:15.260 --> 0:04:17.839 right about there is a major change. Man, in the 0:04:17.860 --> 0:04:20.520 amount of time we've done this radio show where everybody 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.349 realized I do know plenty of gay people and they're 0:04:23.370 --> 0:04:26.090 perfectly fine. And so what do I care if gay 0:04:26.230 --> 0:04:27.930 people get married or whatever? That's where the polls are. 0:04:27.950 --> 0:04:31.909 They're not flaming leather freaks. You know, it's some people 0:04:31.930 --> 0:04:35.580 are fair in California. Most people aren't right. Then there's 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.560 this take on the joke. Vance makes a cheap joke 0:04:38.620 --> 0:04:40.960 and you turn it into a sermon about gays, hillbillies, 0:04:41.260 --> 0:04:44.860 America's moral evolution and praying for his tortured soul. Just 0:04:44.900 --> 0:04:47.700 call the joke tasteless and move on. Not every effing 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.820 wisecrack requires a Ken Burns documentary about humanity. 0:04:50.850 --> 0:04:55.250 I would love that whether I agree with it or not. 0:04:55.410 --> 0:05:03.360 That's beautiful. Yeah, look, it was tasteless and not great. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:03.560 J.D. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.180 Vance, he's saying to Texans who might be on the fence, 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.740 by the way, he strikes me as kind of a queer. Because, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.510 you know, in Texas, you know, Texas men are men and, 0:05:15.950 --> 0:05:18.950 you know, the cattle are concerned or whatever. Yeah, it 0:05:18.990 --> 0:05:21.910 was just, it was not even a dog. It was 0:05:22.010 --> 0:05:23.230 just a joke about a joke. 0:05:23.910 --> 0:05:24.690 I pray for your soul. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:30.510 It wasn't even a dog whistle. It was here, boy. Here, boy. 0:05:31.070 --> 0:05:33.010 Hinting that, you know, by the way, he strikes me 0:05:33.070 --> 0:05:38.750 as kind of a queer. Like a very Texan crowd 0:05:38.790 --> 0:05:44.400 of Texans. That's it. Is that not cool? Not great? Yeah, fine. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.000 But I don't need a Ken Burns documentary either. I 0:05:47.020 --> 0:05:53.919 agree with both of them. I'm just so tired. 0:05:53.940 --> 0:05:54.660 I know. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.860 Of the scolding i i i think the reason that 0:05:59.900 --> 0:06:02.279 was unfortunate the vice president of the united states should 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.380 not have said that well. 0:06:03.300 --> 0:06:08.869 And i just think i really think this we we 0:06:08.890 --> 0:06:12.909 i i uh i'm not a republican but i am 0:06:13.089 --> 0:06:17.230 a conservative slash libertarian this the the crowd i'm with 0:06:18.070 --> 0:06:20.849 should be able to beat these people if you point 0:06:20.910 --> 0:06:24.750 out their bad policies and why they don't work. And 0:06:24.810 --> 0:06:28.560 that matters for not just this race, but all races 0:06:28.630 --> 0:06:31.740 for the rest of our lives. Making the argument of 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.960 why this is a better policy than that is. And 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:39.800 I'd rather all time was spent on that than, you know, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:40.860 the cattle are nervous. 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:46.710 This so-called controversy will vanish into the air. perhaps by 0:06:46.750 --> 0:06:50.489 the time this sentence is through, and it's just stupid. 0:06:51.529 --> 0:06:53.230 In his defense, he was just riffing in front of 0:06:53.310 --> 0:06:55.470 a crowd. He might want that line. He probably wishes 0:06:55.510 --> 0:06:56.330 he had that line back. 0:06:56.350 --> 0:06:58.000 He sounded to me like he had that one loaded. 0:06:58.010 --> 0:07:01.920 I think he had that one ready to go. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.740 He's very, very glib. But at the same time, and 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.099 this is true, and you can never get political pros 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:13.580 to confess up to this unless they're drunk. The race 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:14.400 is in the. 0:07:16.050 --> 0:07:20.830 You know, he's a queer reaching those voters stage. 0:07:21.530 --> 0:07:23.150 Yeah, that's why it's silly season. Yep. 0:07:23.850 --> 0:07:32.200 It is the lowest information, crudest herd animal voter period. 0:07:33.220 --> 0:07:36.000 So Tallarico is an odd duck. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:37.540 Oh, yeah. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.340 And in all kinds of different ways. Remember, he was asked. 0:07:42.620 --> 0:07:45.680 Who your favorite drag queen is, and he had a name. 0:07:46.170 --> 0:07:47.030 Oh, yeah. 0:07:47.250 --> 0:07:48.550 And he was enthusiastic about it. 0:07:48.590 --> 0:07:51.270 Oh, he's like, oh, my gosh. It's got to be, 0:07:51.370 --> 0:07:54.450 you know, Betty Bangles or whatever. So he had to 0:07:54.510 --> 0:07:57.890 think real quick. It's like asking me, who's your all-time 0:07:57.930 --> 0:08:01.680 favorite starting pitcher? Oh, my gosh. Got to be Greg Maddox. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.840 I mean, he answered exactly like that. 0:08:03.860 --> 0:08:04.740 That's a pretty good choice. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.940 You know, I loved Greg. Oh, I loved him. And 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.820 as a pitcher, I didn't have overpowering power, so I 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.020 modeled how I pitched after him. 0:08:16.180 --> 0:08:17.960 Of course, if he pitched today, he got pulled in 0:08:17.990 --> 0:08:20.090 the fourth inning of every game, no matter how well 0:08:20.130 --> 0:08:22.630 he was doing because of the metrics. 0:08:24.870 --> 0:08:27.440 The metric system. I thought this was America. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:27.900 So. 0:08:30.020 --> 0:08:33.260 I'll bet James Tallarico, who, by the way, may be 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.420 a queer, is in favor of the metric system. 0:08:36.620 --> 0:08:38.199 So some of you will hate this and it doesn't 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.020 make any difference. I don't I'm not a James Tallarico 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.050 fan of his politics, although I wish he was running 0:08:43.110 --> 0:08:48.829 against somebody else. But the whole I love trans kids 0:08:49.290 --> 0:08:52.570 thing has definitely been pulled out of context and is 0:08:52.610 --> 0:08:55.309 not the most fair ad out there. But, man, they're 0:08:55.330 --> 0:08:56.170 running the hell out of it. 0:08:56.170 --> 0:08:57.150 Yeah. 0:08:58.500 --> 0:09:03.900 Everywhere in, in which they, they go with the, the question, what, 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.580 which was name something you love other than your family 0:09:08.620 --> 0:09:12.929 and friends. And then they go to trans kids, which is, 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.480 When I heard it, because I thought that was the 0:09:15.500 --> 0:09:20.460 whole exchange, seems like a nuts answer. That's the first 0:09:20.500 --> 0:09:23.520 thing that comes to mind. But the whole thing, if 0:09:23.540 --> 0:09:25.360 you listen to it, and I actually took this from 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.020 the dispatch yesterday and they are not Tallarico fans there either. 0:09:29.540 --> 0:09:34.439 But the full quote was he was talking about, you know, today, 0:09:34.500 --> 0:09:37.860 just because I was at an event yesterday yesterday. I 0:09:38.100 --> 0:09:40.420 the trans kids yesterday who showed up yesterday at the 0:09:40.460 --> 0:09:43.880 state capitol to advocate for their humanity in the face 0:09:43.990 --> 0:09:45.380 of hate and all this sort of stuff. He's on 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.250 the wrong side of this issue. And I, you know, 0:09:47.929 --> 0:09:49.550 trans kids in sports and all that sort of stuff. 0:09:49.870 --> 0:09:53.770 But it's much, much different than the than who do 0:09:53.790 --> 0:09:56.990 you love other than your family? Trans kids said today 0:09:57.010 --> 0:09:59.310 I was at this event yesterday and they stood up 0:09:59.350 --> 0:10:01.600 in the face of it. bunch of people attacking them. 0:10:01.660 --> 0:10:03.520 And I thought that was really impressive. So that's on 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.920 my mind today is a different answer. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:12.210 I think. Not very. I'm not still odd. 0:10:14.110 --> 0:10:17.809 But I just I don't like hacked up quotes from people. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.260 Just put it all out there and, you know, make 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.540 your argument. Again, make your argument about whatever position you have. 0:10:28.010 --> 0:10:33.150 Because the first version, you've got to admit, is extraordinarily weird. 0:10:33.450 --> 0:10:35.110 This one is just, okay, you're down with the whole 0:10:35.130 --> 0:10:38.170 trans thing and I don't agree with you. The number 0:10:38.270 --> 0:10:40.770 one thing that comes to mind to you for anything 0:10:40.790 --> 0:10:43.840 you could possibly love other than your family is trans kids. 0:10:47.220 --> 0:10:53.010 That might dilute it 2% to me. I'm not impressed 0:10:53.490 --> 0:10:54.910 by the context. Okay. 0:10:55.570 --> 0:11:01.490 I feel differently. Why, though, why do you suppose he's 0:11:01.730 --> 0:11:04.910 stuck with that through this campaign? Why did he go 0:11:04.970 --> 0:11:07.880 there at all when you want to be the senator 0:11:07.910 --> 0:11:08.600 from Texas? 0:11:08.620 --> 0:11:10.880 Because that's what he believes? 0:11:10.900 --> 0:11:10.980 Yeah. 0:11:11.340 --> 0:11:14.520 I mean, come on now. What are you, a child? 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.700 People saying things because of what they believe. 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.920 I mean, no, he's that he's that guy. 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.450 And so you you think he'd be willing to lose 0:11:24.550 --> 0:11:25.070 rather than. 0:11:26.330 --> 0:11:30.050 That's that's the old sarcastic definition of a gaffe when 0:11:30.270 --> 0:11:34.540 a politician accidentally tells the truth. Oh, yeah, if you 0:11:34.570 --> 0:11:36.450 know this guy in his background, I mean, he is 0:11:36.770 --> 0:11:39.710 all about the rainbow thing. 0:11:40.030 --> 0:11:42.150 Wow, I would think you'd try to hide that more 0:11:42.370 --> 0:11:44.750 running in Texas. And if you want to be out 0:11:44.790 --> 0:11:49.530 and proud about it when you win. But, man, in 0:11:49.550 --> 0:11:51.690 a close race in Texas, it's just crazy that he's 0:11:51.710 --> 0:11:52.709 sticking to his guns on that. 0:11:54.650 --> 0:11:57.349 I think he sees his constituency as Austin in the 0:11:57.390 --> 0:11:57.930 big cities. 0:11:58.230 --> 0:12:03.100 And if he wins, ladies and germs... You got to 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.640 hang the whole thing around Trump. Choosing Paxton to be 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.179 the guy to run against him. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:10.820 What? 0:12:11.580 --> 0:12:12.500 Very unfortunate. 0:12:12.900 --> 0:12:16.250 God, I would say so. Oh, my gosh. Cornyn would 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:17.890 have walked away with this thing, I think. 0:12:18.490 --> 0:12:20.870 I think so, yeah. Speaking of the Senate, and this 0:12:20.929 --> 0:12:24.190 is super interesting, and I've seen practically nobody reporting this. 0:12:24.230 --> 0:12:27.550 Maybe I've just missed it. But John Fetterman was asked 0:12:27.610 --> 0:12:34.340 the other day, the hulking... bald-headed stroke survivor John Fetterman, 0:12:34.460 --> 0:12:41.250 the besweat-suited giant of Pennsylvania, if he was going to 0:12:41.290 --> 0:12:44.030 jump ship to the Republicans, because he sounds and votes 0:12:44.110 --> 0:12:46.809 a lot like a Republican, not completely. And he said, 0:12:46.890 --> 0:12:48.830 I don't have a reason to jump ship, so I'm 0:12:48.870 --> 0:12:53.730 not going to. But then he said, if I'm 51... 0:12:54.210 --> 0:12:57.150 then i don't know let's revisit that after the midterms 0:12:57.230 --> 0:13:02.740 meaning if he's the 51st democrat i don't know let's 0:13:02.780 --> 0:13:06.980 revisit that after the midterms that would make him i 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.240 didn't hear him say that oh yeah i know that's 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.719 why i'm astounded that nobody's reporting this it's in the 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.219 new york post um who is he talking to uh 0:13:15.059 --> 0:13:17.180 oh he was actually talking to major garrett on cbs 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.170 two weeks ago um If the Republican Party had a 0:13:22.210 --> 0:13:25.850 chance to lure him over and make it a 50-50 tie, 0:13:26.390 --> 0:13:28.990 they would let him move into the White House. They 0:13:29.010 --> 0:13:31.489 would evict the president. They would give him the White House. 0:13:31.530 --> 0:13:34.950 Air Force One is now for you to go wherever 0:13:35.150 --> 0:13:38.429 you want. Every street in Pennsylvania is now paved with gold. 0:13:38.470 --> 0:13:42.790 Or would you prefer platinum, Senator? That could be interesting. 0:13:42.830 --> 0:13:44.630 And again, nobody's reporting this. 0:13:45.410 --> 0:13:47.239 Take your choice of the finest hoodies. 0:13:49.230 --> 0:13:54.270 Kashmir hoodies from Persia. Of course, that's Iran, so that 0:13:54.309 --> 0:13:54.990 would not be good. 0:13:55.610 --> 0:13:56.750 Wow, that would be something. 0:13:57.410 --> 0:13:57.969 Yeah, I'd say. 0:13:58.690 --> 0:14:02.630 He will be like added together old mansion and cinema 0:14:02.670 --> 0:14:04.969 back when they controlled the whole Senate. Everybody had to 0:14:05.030 --> 0:14:07.670 dance to their tune because you couldn't get anything through 0:14:07.710 --> 0:14:11.430 without getting them on board. Hi, good night, everybody. He's 0:14:11.470 --> 0:14:12.830 doing better now, Michael. That's not fair. 0:14:12.850 --> 0:14:15.069 Yeah, the man was a victim of a stroke. 0:14:15.330 --> 0:14:16.350 I just needed a short clip. 0:14:16.809 --> 0:14:22.030 That was distasteful. I think Caitlin Flanagan needs to lecture you. 0:14:22.550 --> 0:14:25.790 Yeah, no good. Don't need an effing Ken Burns documentary 0:14:25.850 --> 0:14:29.230 about the nation's soul. That's pretty funny. More on the way. 0:14:29.250 --> 0:14:40.680 Armstrong and Getty. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.420 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:14:45.190 --> 0:14:45.270 Mr. 0:14:45.310 --> 0:14:47.290 Tallarico, so nice to meet you. Sorry, I broke my head. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.240 I was there when you defended the drags. Who's your 0:14:50.260 --> 0:14:52.900 favorite drag queen in Texas? Oh my gosh, probably Alyssa Edwards. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:53.480 Alyssa Edwards? 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.500 I love Mikey Mays. 0:14:54.540 --> 0:14:55.140 Thank you so much. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:02.780 Who in the hell has multiple drag queen names bouncing 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.730 around in their head? What's your favorite album all the time? Oh, wow. Today, 0:15:07.750 --> 0:15:08.470 my favorite album? 0:15:08.490 --> 0:15:09.530 That's a tough one. 0:15:09.550 --> 0:15:10.870 Oh, boy. 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.740 Anyway, that's James Tallarico. So we just got a text 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.960 from somebody and then we'll wrap this conversation up. Um, 0:15:19.490 --> 0:15:22.610 I'm an ex California, new Texas resident to be pointing 0:15:22.710 --> 0:15:25.990 out that, uh, JD Vance is just trying to get 0:15:26.050 --> 0:15:30.430 into the conversation that Tallarico is secretly gay and hiding 0:15:30.470 --> 0:15:32.990 who he is, which is a big conversation in Texas, 0:15:33.150 --> 0:15:37.290 I guess. And also some people concerned that he is 0:15:37.350 --> 0:15:40.270 a pedophile though. I don't know what evidence you're using 0:15:40.290 --> 0:15:40.609 for that. 0:15:41.290 --> 0:15:47.800 Um, The whole drag queen, gender bending crowd is really 0:15:47.860 --> 0:15:49.520 comfortable with sexualizing children. 0:15:50.020 --> 0:15:53.680 But so he claimed he had a girlfriend for years, 0:15:53.740 --> 0:15:56.440 but was keeping her a secret for privacy reasons. And 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:02.360 that actually fed the flames of you're secretly gay. There's 0:16:02.380 --> 0:16:05.140 nothing wrong with being gay. Pretending you're one thing and 0:16:05.660 --> 0:16:08.290 you're something else is a little weird, if that were 0:16:08.310 --> 0:16:11.740 the case. But his girlfriend has since come out. And 0:16:11.780 --> 0:16:13.460 they know who she is and everything like that. And 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.400 then they found an ex-girlfriend, according to the New York Post. 0:16:16.500 --> 0:16:19.970 So the whole he's secretly gay thing has apparently been 0:16:20.010 --> 0:16:20.550 put to rest. 0:16:21.310 --> 0:16:23.350 And she just broke up with him because he dates dudes. 0:16:23.370 --> 0:16:28.730 So I don't I don't know. I don't care. He's 0:16:28.810 --> 0:16:30.070 a socialist. 0:16:30.150 --> 0:16:30.770 Right. 0:16:30.820 --> 0:16:31.100 Job. 0:16:31.170 --> 0:16:31.600 Right. 0:16:31.940 --> 0:16:34.280 Argue the policies. Right. 0:16:35.180 --> 0:16:35.359 Right. 0:16:35.580 --> 0:16:36.470 See how that one turns out. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.530 Oh, man. Oh, back to Fetterman just briefly, as we 0:16:40.550 --> 0:16:43.990 were discussing during the break. Fetterman said a while ago, 0:16:44.010 --> 0:16:45.570 a few months ago, I think it was that he 0:16:45.610 --> 0:16:47.750 was asked, would you leave the Democrat Party? He said, well, 0:16:47.850 --> 0:16:50.670 if my party became the anti-Israel party, that would cross 0:16:50.690 --> 0:16:54.160 the line for me. And they have. Absolutely. So that'll 0:16:54.180 --> 0:16:56.200 be interesting to watch develop. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.619 Let's put this to bed then while we're doing it. 0:16:59.660 --> 0:17:03.080 Byron York has a piece out today about the coverage 0:17:03.140 --> 0:17:08.680 and the reality of whose degrees count for what. El-Sayed 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.900 has an M.D. but is not licensed to practice medicine. 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.159 The new White House press spokesman has a J.D. but 0:17:15.220 --> 0:17:19.000 is not licensed to practice law. The mainstream media refers 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.380 to one as doctor, while the New York Times does 0:17:21.420 --> 0:17:23.050 a deep dive on whether or not she should be 0:17:23.090 --> 0:17:26.250 calling herself a lawyer. So that's how that works out. 0:17:26.770 --> 0:17:31.090 Gosh, that's just shocking. Plus, speaking of politicians, you remember 0:17:31.130 --> 0:17:35.869 that semi-unhinged speech Nancy gave, Nancy Mace gave about sexual 0:17:35.910 --> 0:17:38.040 assault in the House of Lords? New development. 0:17:38.300 --> 0:17:53.680 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:57.070 --> 0:18:01.230 President Trump is campaigning for Republicans in Alaska, and AOC 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.340 has already chimed in asking, what is he doing in 0:18:04.380 --> 0:18:07.899 Alaska when we have trouble right here in the United States? 0:18:08.100 --> 0:18:14.879 I don't know why that just hurt me. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:16.820 Took the wind out of my sails. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.670 What was that supposed to do, Michael? What emotion was 0:18:20.730 --> 0:18:21.830 I supposed to get from that joke? 0:18:23.369 --> 0:18:24.410 Just kind of shaking your head. 0:18:24.430 --> 0:18:24.990 Sadness? 0:18:25.150 --> 0:18:26.570 That's where our politics is. 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:28.560 All right. 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.170 Wow, that took the wind out of me. What else 0:18:31.210 --> 0:18:31.629 you got? 0:18:32.250 --> 0:18:33.250 You got to have a funny joke. 0:18:33.310 --> 0:18:34.530 Is there a joke that's funny? I mean, she is 0:18:34.609 --> 0:18:36.570 a dope. I get it. Yeah, but that's a horrible joke. 0:18:37.130 --> 0:18:38.010 It's not a good joke. 0:18:38.109 --> 0:18:38.270 No. 0:18:39.050 --> 0:18:39.310 No. 0:18:39.450 --> 0:18:40.330 Give it another shot, Mike. 0:18:40.350 --> 0:18:41.270 How about five? 0:18:41.390 --> 0:18:44.110 And just, you know, no pressure, but it's all on you. 0:18:44.590 --> 0:18:45.830 Yes. All right. 0:18:45.950 --> 0:18:46.380 Here we go. 0:18:48.460 --> 0:18:51.800 Minnesota Democrat Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan posted. 0:18:52.330 --> 0:18:54.250 that her Native American name. 0:18:54.109 --> 0:19:02.100 Is Giz Haiwi Widamukwi. Coincidentally, this is also what Kamala 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.580 calls herself after three drinks. 0:19:05.580 --> 0:19:09.430 She's a drunk, you see. 0:19:09.470 --> 0:19:12.630 The ongoing Kamala Harris is a drunk thing that he's 0:19:12.650 --> 0:19:13.669 been doing for years. 0:19:14.450 --> 0:19:22.540 You redeemed yourself, Michael. Barely. Speaking of attractive politicians, AOC, undoubtedly. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.820 I mean, she's a crackpot and a socialist. 0:19:24.940 --> 0:19:26.840 Wow, Joe's going all Shane Gillis on us. 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.340 Oh, that reminds me. Holy cow, is France screwed? France 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.220 is in trouble. I just saw a poll of French people. 0:19:35.740 --> 0:19:40.310 The lefty candidate, Melenchon, who we've mentioned, who's with all 0:19:40.330 --> 0:19:44.110 the communists trying to pump up these student riots. They're 0:19:44.130 --> 0:19:49.070 not student riots anymore. It's 90% now. leftists, but his plan, 0:19:49.130 --> 0:19:53.760 if he gets elected president, is to cancel a good 0:19:53.800 --> 0:20:00.020 deal of France's debt, which would be suicidal as a country. 0:20:00.460 --> 0:20:02.400 I mean, the only reason France is functioning is that 0:20:02.420 --> 0:20:05.060 they can sell bonds to people who think And I'll 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.680 probably go broke after I get paid back. So, yeah, 0:20:08.740 --> 0:20:10.500 I'll take the interest rate and lend him a little 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:10.980 more money. 0:20:11.020 --> 0:20:12.459 What does that mean? I'm not smart enough to know 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:13.820 what that means to cancel your debt. 0:20:15.420 --> 0:20:17.480 You just announced, yeah, we're not going to pay off 0:20:17.790 --> 0:20:22.530 those debts, those bonds anymore. We're writing them off. You'll 0:20:22.570 --> 0:20:22.950 get nothing. 0:20:23.330 --> 0:20:25.210 Well, if you do that in your personal life, you 0:20:25.270 --> 0:20:26.570 can't get any credit after that. 0:20:26.970 --> 0:20:29.780 For like seven years, yes. Yes, exactly. So, yeah, France 0:20:29.820 --> 0:20:31.620 would be just defaulting on their debt. 0:20:31.619 --> 0:20:36.030 $ 40, 000? 0:20:33.090 --> 0:20:37.720 1% of French people think that's a good idea. And 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.629 this article I was reading, it may have been the dispatch, 0:20:40.670 --> 0:20:44.070 might have been the free press, can't remember. Dispatch was saying, 0:20:44.109 --> 0:20:46.970 you know, it's encouraging that the majority of French people 0:20:47.010 --> 0:20:51.420 have rejected this plan. No, no, no, no. That's like 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.879 saying you're really proud that two of your three children 0:20:54.940 --> 0:20:57.460 are against burning down the house. I mean, the fact 0:20:57.500 --> 0:21:01.420 that anybody would be in favor of it is absolutely abhorrent. Anyway, 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:07.280 good luck, France. Nice architecture. So speaking of attractive politicians, 0:21:07.340 --> 0:21:09.919 he says, perhaps you recall that like from three and 0:21:09.940 --> 0:21:13.260 a half minutes ago. Do you remember when Nancy Mace, 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:20.070 the very attractive, somewhat nutty Congress gal from South Carolina, 0:21:20.690 --> 0:21:22.850 gave that speech on the House floor? It was last year. 0:21:24.790 --> 0:21:28.800 Alleging that she was the victim of. mysterious sexual assault, 0:21:28.900 --> 0:21:31.139 and she was naming names, including her ex-fiance. 0:21:31.180 --> 0:21:33.820 If I remember correctly, it was difficult to tell what 0:21:33.859 --> 0:21:34.540 she was alleging. 0:21:35.570 --> 0:21:37.109 Yeah, it was all very veiled. 0:21:37.130 --> 0:21:40.270 Kind of hinted around things, like those of you who 0:21:40.330 --> 0:21:42.609 know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about, 0:21:42.730 --> 0:21:43.250 sort of thing. 0:21:44.109 --> 0:21:49.450 Right, right. But it was all very odd. Well, after 0:21:49.930 --> 0:21:55.179 a year-long investigation, charges have been filed against the four guys, 0:21:55.580 --> 0:21:59.760 three of the four... That she named, I believe she 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:03.270 named at least one or two of them. Anyway, including 0:22:03.350 --> 0:22:08.850 her former fiance. This all happened in 2018. She was 0:22:09.310 --> 0:22:13.230 wasted drunk. So drunk she fell into a swimming pool 0:22:13.310 --> 0:22:16.410 at the one guy's, Sullivan's Island residence. 0:22:16.690 --> 0:22:22.310
