0:00:03.670 --> 0:00:07.510
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:07.550 --> 0:00:12.580
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:19.190
<v Speaker 1>and Getty. And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:19.450 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think my hat matches my jacket. That's not good. Live,

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:35.110
<v Speaker 2>live from Studio C. A dimly lit room deep within

0:00:35.130 --> 0:00:38.930
<v Speaker 2>the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, today,

0:00:39.090 --> 0:00:41.230
<v Speaker 2>two weeks from the midterm elections. I'll be glad when

0:00:41.250 --> 0:00:42.850
<v Speaker 2>they're over so I don't have to hear about them anymore.

0:00:43.390 --> 0:00:46.220
<v Speaker 2>We're under the tutelage of the title of this show.

0:00:46.770 --> 0:00:52.379
<v Speaker 3>A great sports rivalry returns. Milwaukee versus Tampa Bay. Or

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.470
<v Speaker 3>if you prefer our second headline... title are you looking

0:00:56.510 --> 0:01:00.990
<v Speaker 3>for something both ugly and stupid try politics.

0:01:02.510 --> 0:01:05.550
<v Speaker 2>Yeah the Tampa Bay Rays best record in the American

0:01:05.610 --> 0:01:08.310
<v Speaker 2>League take on the Milwaukee Brewers the best record in

0:01:08.330 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>the National League 162 games they all the both they

0:01:11.340 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>won the both in the most in their respective leagues

0:01:14.620 --> 0:01:16.140
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna play each other in the World Series

0:01:16.420 --> 0:01:19.300
<v Speaker 2>to probably record low ratings which is too bad because

0:01:20.420 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty good baseball.

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.259
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would say great fun teams to watch.

0:01:24.340 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>If you want to talk about sports, the bee that's

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.980
<v Speaker 2>in my bonnet, I can't believe I never got to

0:01:28.020 --> 0:01:30.059
<v Speaker 2>this yesterday because I was angry about it all weekend.

0:01:30.660 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Now it's happened twice.

0:01:31.260 --> 0:01:33.140
<v Speaker 3>Your unmatching bonnet, by the way.

0:01:33.220 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 2>My bonnet does not match in my blouse. I've never

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 2>said the word blouse before, I don't think. I'm wearing

0:01:39.700 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a sport coat and a hat that does not match it.

0:01:44.540 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Game two of the WNBA finals last night, and for

0:01:47.020 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the second game in a row, both teams walked off

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the court for the national anthem. Both teams walking completely

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.100
<v Speaker 2>off the court into the locker room for the National Anthem.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.220
<v Speaker 2>They may come back when it's over. Two games in

0:01:58.260 --> 0:02:02.350
<v Speaker 2>a row. The finals of the WNBA. The DEI League.

0:02:02.410 --> 0:02:07.140
<v Speaker 2>The league that thinks we owe them... Having that league,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.399
<v Speaker 2>regardless of what they do or how low the ratings

0:02:10.500 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>are or how much money they lose.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Or how racist they are or anything else.

0:02:16.300 --> 0:02:21.540
<v Speaker 2>It's 100% subsidized by the, not 100%, but it's 100% true.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:26.210
<v Speaker 2>The only reason it exists is the subsidy of the NBA.

0:02:26.730 --> 0:02:30.010
<v Speaker 2>If the NBA didn't subsidize it, it would go away today.

0:02:30.650 --> 0:02:34.419
<v Speaker 2>Yet they think they're entitled enough. that they can walk

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 2>off the court for the national anthem, and the fans

0:02:36.380 --> 0:02:37.940
<v Speaker 2>will just have to put up with it, and we'll

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.810
<v Speaker 2>still get to play basketball for lots of money.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:41.389
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. F you!

0:02:41.410 --> 0:02:45.010
<v Speaker 3>They're a bunch of woke America haters. They absolutely are, including,

0:02:45.130 --> 0:02:48.350
<v Speaker 3>in many cases, the ownership. I have this on good authority.

0:02:48.470 --> 0:02:51.650
<v Speaker 3>I cannot divulge more. But yeah, it is a DEI

0:02:51.690 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 3>league full of... you know, neo-Marxist critical theory loving activists.

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But to take it to the level of you think

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.329
<v Speaker 2>you can do anything and you still get to exist.

0:03:03.889 --> 0:03:06.870
<v Speaker 2>I think the NBA is in a tough situation now.

0:03:07.150 --> 0:03:11.330
<v Speaker 2>They're probably grandfathered in by wokeness to where they can't

0:03:11.430 --> 0:03:13.550
<v Speaker 2>ever pull the plug on the damn thing, no matter

0:03:13.610 --> 0:03:17.830
<v Speaker 2>how much money it loses because of the blowback. They

0:03:17.870 --> 0:03:20.750
<v Speaker 2>probably figure out what it costs us in blowback. We'll

0:03:20.770 --> 0:03:21.710
<v Speaker 2>just eat that money.

0:03:22.330 --> 0:03:22.889
<v Speaker 3>I think you're right.

0:03:23.070 --> 0:03:23.230
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:23.950 --> 0:03:26.630
<v Speaker 3>It's a great illustration, though, of when the normal incentives

0:03:26.669 --> 0:03:29.669
<v Speaker 3>of the marketplace are removed and you go with DEI.

0:03:30.590 --> 0:03:35.030
<v Speaker 3>What happens? Because the players can't be compelled to, hey,

0:03:35.050 --> 0:03:37.980
<v Speaker 3>you're going to run off our fan base. You can't

0:03:38.100 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 3>crap on the American flag, in effect, or send the

0:03:41.100 --> 0:03:44.700
<v Speaker 3>unmistakable message, I'm not a patriot. In fact, I think

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.300
<v Speaker 3>this country is evil and it stinks. And I'd love

0:03:47.340 --> 0:03:49.580
<v Speaker 3>to see it overthrown. You can't send that message over

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 3>and over. We're running a business here. But they're not.

0:03:53.410 --> 0:03:57.590
<v Speaker 3>They're running a DEI department. So the most woke rules.

0:03:58.050 --> 0:04:02.090
<v Speaker 2>Not just one player getting lots of attention for kneeling

0:04:02.110 --> 0:04:06.750
<v Speaker 2>during the national anthem. The entire team, both teams, in

0:04:06.850 --> 0:04:08.130
<v Speaker 2>the finals of their sport.

0:04:08.910 --> 0:04:09.110
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:04:10.370 --> 0:04:14.860
<v Speaker 3>I remember that from various NBA, especially, I guess, back

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.060
<v Speaker 3>in the day when we were closer to the woke apocalypse,

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 3>that that was the compromise. Look, are we going to

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.790
<v Speaker 3>have half of our guys kneel? And half of our

0:04:22.810 --> 0:04:25.370
<v Speaker 3>guys standing proudly gazing at the flag with their hand

0:04:25.410 --> 0:04:27.070
<v Speaker 3>over their heart? Or do we just go to the

0:04:27.089 --> 0:04:28.750
<v Speaker 3>locker room? And they said, we'll just go to the

0:04:28.770 --> 0:04:29.210
<v Speaker 3>locker room.

0:04:30.700 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the inaction speaks louder than words. The reason

0:04:33.860 --> 0:04:35.740
<v Speaker 2>they're going to the locker room, I guess, is to

0:04:35.779 --> 0:04:39.339
<v Speaker 2>get around the rules. The league has rules. You're required

0:04:39.420 --> 0:04:45.170
<v Speaker 2>to stand in an appropriate manner quietly for the national anthem.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.450
<v Speaker 2>That's in the rule book of the WNBA, all players.

0:04:48.610 --> 0:04:51.070
<v Speaker 2>So they guess they feel like they're getting out around

0:04:51.089 --> 0:04:52.890
<v Speaker 2>it by we're not on the court. So we don't

0:04:52.910 --> 0:04:56.310
<v Speaker 2>have to, I don't know why anybody would support that league.

0:04:58.970 --> 0:05:01.450
<v Speaker 2>I screw them. Absolutely.

0:05:01.510 --> 0:05:03.510
<v Speaker 3>Luckily few people do. Yeah.

0:05:03.529 --> 0:05:06.170
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's more popular than it's ever been partially because

0:05:06.250 --> 0:05:10.310
<v Speaker 2>of Caitlin Clark, who they abuse and, uh, and, uh,

0:05:10.690 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and all kinds of different ways, but It's nutty. You're right.

0:05:14.020 --> 0:05:17.550
<v Speaker 2>When you take away the normal incentives, imagine how lots

0:05:17.580 --> 0:05:20.330
<v Speaker 2>of businesses would act if they didn't. NPR might be

0:05:20.350 --> 0:05:22.930
<v Speaker 2>a good example. Imagine how lots of businesses would act

0:05:22.990 --> 0:05:25.110
<v Speaker 2>if they don't actually have to worry about making a profit.

0:05:25.670 --> 0:05:29.330
<v Speaker 3>Let's ask Colin Kaepernick. Hey, Colin, given the choice between

0:05:29.370 --> 0:05:32.969
<v Speaker 3>a player with a skill set of, say, X who

0:05:33.490 --> 0:05:36.310
<v Speaker 3>angers three quarters of the fan base and a player

0:05:36.330 --> 0:05:39.170
<v Speaker 3>with skill set X who doesn't anger the fan base,

0:05:39.470 --> 0:05:41.230
<v Speaker 3>who do you reckon you're going to hire? I'll bet

0:05:41.250 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Colin could tell us.

0:05:44.710 --> 0:05:46.830
<v Speaker 2>And we got this text, and we bailed Brittany Griner

0:05:46.870 --> 0:05:47.429
<v Speaker 2>out of Russia.

0:05:47.450 --> 0:05:52.549
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah. No kidding. In line before real American patriots

0:05:52.589 --> 0:05:53.070
<v Speaker 3>and innocents.

0:05:55.210 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it's like for y'all. I don't

0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:02.860
<v Speaker 2>know if it's age or it's this job, but I

0:06:03.020 --> 0:06:08.980
<v Speaker 2>just can't take in this midterm election stuff. The same

0:06:09.060 --> 0:06:11.700
<v Speaker 2>speeches I've heard my entire life.

0:06:12.370 --> 0:06:14.750
<v Speaker 3>I'm fascinated by it. It's so interesting.

0:06:14.850 --> 0:06:19.650
<v Speaker 2>Every single two years, you get the same flippant speeches.

0:06:21.089 --> 0:06:23.990
<v Speaker 3>I like some of the dynamics of what people said

0:06:24.050 --> 0:06:27.300
<v Speaker 3>in the past about each other who are now campaigning together,

0:06:27.740 --> 0:06:32.820
<v Speaker 3>like old the Islamist Al-Sayed and Obama. He was a harsh,

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 3>bitter Obama critic for a long time, including recently. But

0:06:36.300 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>they'll be on stage together tonight, I think. I don't

0:06:39.660 --> 0:06:40.840
<v Speaker 3>think long line of that sort of thing.

0:06:40.940 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>So are we back to our conversation of last week?

0:06:43.140 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 2>So because I don't think any of this stuff has

0:06:45.430 --> 0:06:49.150
<v Speaker 2>an effect on like anybody I know, really, in the

0:06:49.170 --> 0:06:51.230
<v Speaker 2>way they're going to vote. So is all of this

0:06:51.390 --> 0:06:56.849
<v Speaker 2>noise just for that crowd that barely pays attention, hoping

0:06:56.890 --> 0:07:00.029
<v Speaker 2>it will seep through to them somehow and sway that

0:07:00.190 --> 0:07:01.830
<v Speaker 2>and turn out and turn out?

0:07:02.290 --> 0:07:02.530
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:02.770 --> 0:07:02.950
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:03.250 --> 0:07:05.870
<v Speaker 3>Because the vast majority of voters, or at least a

0:07:06.350 --> 0:07:09.180
<v Speaker 3>pretty good plurality of them, have no idea what they're

0:07:09.220 --> 0:07:13.500
<v Speaker 3>talking about, and are as likely to vote as they

0:07:13.660 --> 0:07:18.310
<v Speaker 3>are to eat pork tonight. It might happen. And so

0:07:18.330 --> 0:07:21.070
<v Speaker 3>you desperately try to get them motivated to show up.

0:07:21.210 --> 0:07:23.950
<v Speaker 3>So that's what a lot of it is, these rallies. Wow.

0:07:26.570 --> 0:07:31.100
<v Speaker 2>I also have no idea where this whole supporting Russia

0:07:31.190 --> 0:07:34.900
<v Speaker 2>or not story is going or landing with most Republicans.

0:07:36.190 --> 0:07:38.510
<v Speaker 2>It's not what I want to be true, but I'm

0:07:38.750 --> 0:07:43.430
<v Speaker 2>not sure most Republican voters care about the whole Ukraine

0:07:43.470 --> 0:07:44.110
<v Speaker 2>thing very much.

0:07:45.910 --> 0:07:48.510
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'd love to see those numbers. I would too.

0:07:49.940 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 3>It's not at the top of the list, I would say,

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.630
<v Speaker 3>of things people are critically interested in.

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.500
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it ranks in the top five, maybe

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.100
<v Speaker 2>not in the top ten. I don't know. I'd like

0:08:00.140 --> 0:08:02.630
<v Speaker 2>to see some polling also. I just don't think it matters,

0:08:02.670 --> 0:08:04.290
<v Speaker 2>and Trump probably senses that.

0:08:04.690 --> 0:08:06.130
<v Speaker 3>Now why, why.

0:08:06.010 --> 0:08:08.270
<v Speaker 2>You have to, uh, you know, uh, get on, on

0:08:08.330 --> 0:08:11.850
<v Speaker 2>board with Russia. I do not know. Zelensky is going

0:08:11.990 --> 0:08:15.330
<v Speaker 2>further and further in the things that he says, and

0:08:15.450 --> 0:08:18.350
<v Speaker 2>Trump is reacting the way Trump reacts when he feels

0:08:18.390 --> 0:08:21.250
<v Speaker 2>like he's been slighted. And so that divide is growing

0:08:21.330 --> 0:08:23.310
<v Speaker 2>on a day by day basis. We'll have to play

0:08:23.350 --> 0:08:28.290
<v Speaker 2>the latest clips, uh, later in the show. Uh, but

0:08:29.230 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the, the idea that Zelensky wants this

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:37.140
<v Speaker 2>war to continue. Wants these deaths, et cetera, et cetera.

0:08:37.230 --> 0:08:38.170
<v Speaker 3>It's just absurd.

0:08:38.630 --> 0:08:39.210
<v Speaker 2>It is absurd.

0:08:39.970 --> 0:08:42.130
<v Speaker 3>Well, he wants the war to continue if the alternative

0:08:42.370 --> 0:08:46.490
<v Speaker 3>is capitulation to Russia and the inevitable slaughter that would result.

0:08:46.750 --> 0:08:48.790
<v Speaker 2>We did get one text yesterday. It was, I guess

0:08:48.809 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>you guys want hundreds of more thousands of people to die.

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.660
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting way to look at it in that.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>So if we hadn't invaded Europe in World War II

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.859
<v Speaker 2>in June of 44... Fewer people would have died if

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.660
<v Speaker 2>you let Germany have Europe. I mean, that's the that's this.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that analogy perfect? You're saying let the let the

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.210
<v Speaker 2>aggressor have the land. So there are more no more deaths.

0:09:16.330 --> 0:09:17.250
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that what you're saying?

0:09:17.970 --> 0:09:20.350
<v Speaker 3>Don't defend your country. Don't defend your family. No, let

0:09:20.370 --> 0:09:24.890
<v Speaker 3>them have it. Whoever gets meanest first gets everything in

0:09:24.929 --> 0:09:28.540
<v Speaker 3>their worldview. Or, you know, it's an argument of ignorance.

0:09:28.580 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't even feel like casting my pearls before that swine.

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a ridiculous argument. It ignores all of history. It

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.510
<v Speaker 3>ignores Russia. It ignores Russian policy. It ignores their recent activity.

0:09:40.130 --> 0:09:46.150
<v Speaker 3>Not to mention, it rewards violent adventurism just after we'd

0:09:46.250 --> 0:09:49.270
<v Speaker 3>finally gotten rid of that for a little bit. How

0:09:49.290 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 3>many lives is... Oh, my goodness. Why am I arguing

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.470
<v Speaker 3>with somebody with a position that's simple?

0:09:54.490 --> 0:09:54.970
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, no.

0:09:54.990 --> 0:09:58.150
<v Speaker 2>That's not just a texture. That is Trump's position. That

0:09:58.190 --> 0:09:59.030
<v Speaker 2>is the position of.

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.740
<v Speaker 2>You know, basically the position of the Republican Party right now.

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:06.860
<v Speaker 2>The leader of the Republican Party.

0:10:06.980 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that.

0:10:10.110 --> 0:10:11.609
<v Speaker 2>I just want the killing to stop.

0:10:12.150 --> 0:10:15.569
<v Speaker 3>You're going to see much, much more public splits very,

0:10:15.630 --> 0:10:18.830
<v Speaker 3>very soon. Maybe the day after the midterm with Trump.

0:10:19.990 --> 0:10:25.380
<v Speaker 3>On Ukraine policy in particular and other things, too. The

0:10:25.410 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 3>last two years of his second term, if he survives

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.540
<v Speaker 3>that long, he's old as the hills, is going to

0:10:30.580 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 3>be tumultuous.

0:10:34.780 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so here's where we are with the opening clip

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.390
<v Speaker 2>to start the show officially, which we need to do.

0:10:38.570 --> 0:10:40.050
<v Speaker 2>It's a Greg Gutfeld joke.

0:10:40.870 --> 0:10:41.070
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:10:41.330 --> 0:10:44.550
<v Speaker 2>Which we're trying to predict just how far he's going

0:10:44.590 --> 0:10:46.590
<v Speaker 2>to go given the target of this joke.

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.030
<v Speaker 3>Would you like me to repeat what I said in

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 3>the pre-show meeting?

0:10:49.970 --> 0:10:53.290
<v Speaker 2>So the joke involves Greta Thunberg, and Joe said.

0:10:54.250 --> 0:10:58.210
<v Speaker 3>I said, what's the punchline? That she's ugly, fat, and

0:10:58.270 --> 0:11:01.250
<v Speaker 3>nobody can ever love her? Or a combination of those things.

0:11:01.670 --> 0:11:01.949
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

0:11:02.010 --> 0:11:05.020
<v Speaker 3>And Michael said essentially....

0:11:07.250 --> 0:11:09.260
<v Speaker 2>Greg Cutfeld is willing to say some really mean things,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>so let's do that. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.

0:11:11.700 --> 0:11:14.980
<v Speaker 2>On this, it is Tuesday... October 20th of the year 2026,

0:11:14.980 --> 0:11:17.620
<v Speaker 2>we're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's begin the show officially then, according to FCC rules

0:11:20.710 --> 0:11:22.490
<v Speaker 3>and regulations. Here we go at Mark.

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.569
<v Speaker 4>Greta Thunberg has found a new cause supporting the riots

0:11:26.630 --> 0:11:30.109
<v Speaker 4>in France. Although she still hasn't succeeded in her most

0:11:30.270 --> 0:11:33.310
<v Speaker 4>urgent crusade, which is to find someone who will finally

0:11:33.330 --> 0:11:33.390
<v Speaker 4>f *.

0:11:33.340 --> 0:11:34.110
<v Speaker 5>* * her.

0:11:34.830 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow.

0:11:37.700 --> 0:11:48.270
<v Speaker 3>Wow. I'm sorry. I realize I look like a dog

0:11:48.309 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 3>who's heard an odd noise and is trying to identify it.

0:11:52.030 --> 0:11:52.979
<v Speaker 3>What the hell?

0:11:53.100 --> 0:11:54.380
<v Speaker 2>That was close to what you guessed.

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 3>What the hell? That's exactly what I guessed.

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.580
<v Speaker 2>What a mean thing to say to a young woman.

0:12:00.620 --> 0:12:04.460
<v Speaker 3>He distilled it all down into. Describing her as essentially unlayable.

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.540
<v Speaker 2>That's among the worst things you could say to a

0:12:06.580 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 2>young woman, isn't it, Katie? Doesn't that rank right up there?

0:12:09.420 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 7>It's top three.

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.710
<v Speaker 3>Nobody would ever have sex with you?

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:13.300
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:12:13.330 --> 0:12:15.610
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty bad. Not only would they never love you,

0:12:15.650 --> 0:12:19.510
<v Speaker 3>they would never even use you. Yes. That's delightful. A

0:12:19.550 --> 0:12:21.610
<v Speaker 3>friend of mine did clue me in, though, because I

0:12:21.630 --> 0:12:24.380
<v Speaker 3>don't really watch Gutfeld. I'm aware of him. I see

0:12:24.410 --> 0:12:27.380
<v Speaker 3>him on The Five occasionally before Special Report. But part

0:12:27.460 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 3>of his act is, all right, how sledgehammery is this

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.610
<v Speaker 3>punchline going to be? And if you're like, oh, my God,

0:12:35.630 --> 0:12:37.250
<v Speaker 3>here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, and

0:12:37.309 --> 0:12:38.870
<v Speaker 3>he hits you with that, it's like, ah!

0:12:38.890 --> 0:12:42.309
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good.

0:12:42.330 --> 0:12:44.490
<v Speaker 1>Oh, boy.

0:12:44.730 --> 0:12:50.900
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy. Greta is actually an absolutely perfect illustration of

0:12:50.940 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 3>what I'm always droning on about. And I happen to

0:12:53.860 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 3>have just seen a picture of her, which I believe

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 3>to be legitimate. She and her parents are all wearing...

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:06.020
<v Speaker 3>Are they from Sweden? Is that it? The Swedish Antifa

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:13.300
<v Speaker 3>T-shirt logo. And they're all Marxists, essentially. And so why

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:18.010
<v Speaker 3>would the climate change girl then be the Palestinian girl

0:13:18.190 --> 0:13:20.589
<v Speaker 3>and now be the French rioting girl? It's because she's

0:13:20.630 --> 0:13:25.459
<v Speaker 3>a freaking Marxist. That's why wherever there's a struggle against

0:13:25.620 --> 0:13:28.839
<v Speaker 3>the status quo, she is there to help overthrow it

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.819
<v Speaker 3>straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

0:13:30.860 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>That's what's going on here.

0:13:31.620 --> 0:13:32.500
<v Speaker 1>How dare you?

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 3>You're a commie.

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Unlayable.

0:13:34.860 --> 0:13:39.020
<v Speaker 3>Wow. See, there's somebody for everybody. This is all wrong.

0:13:39.070 --> 0:13:41.270
<v Speaker 3>That punchline was wrong, Greta. I'm with you.

0:13:41.429 --> 0:13:44.929
<v Speaker 2>There's some young Marxist noodle boy who'd be interested.

0:13:45.590 --> 0:13:49.729
<v Speaker 3>Oh, sure. With linguine arms and lack of hair on

0:13:49.770 --> 0:13:52.900
<v Speaker 3>his upper lip and Looking forward to a nice vegan

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.819
<v Speaker 3>burger for lunch.

0:13:53.940 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Probably watches so much porn he can't, though.

0:13:56.460 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, right.

0:13:57.340 --> 0:13:59.180
<v Speaker 2>Probably got that going.

0:13:59.220 --> 0:14:00.980
<v Speaker 3>Can't lift 50 pounds over his head.

0:14:01.300 --> 0:14:02.260
<v Speaker 2>Blah, blah, blah.

0:14:02.300 --> 0:14:03.559
<v Speaker 5>Blah, blah, blah. All right.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.580
<v Speaker 2>We got Katie's headlines next.

0:14:07.380 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Armstrong and Getty.

0:14:16.630 --> 0:14:18.310
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:14:21.250 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm too precious for the world of politics. I

0:14:23.540 --> 0:14:26.550
<v Speaker 2>probably am. I got a couple examples of that coming

0:14:26.590 --> 0:14:27.290
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit later.

0:14:27.820 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the

0:14:29.540 --> 0:14:30.540
<v Speaker 3>lead story with Katie Green.

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:31.380
<v Speaker 2>Katie, take it away.

0:14:31.620 --> 0:14:33.580
<v Speaker 7>All right, it's all Middle East with the Alphabet Network.

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 8>Starting with Fox, Iranian army official warns U.S., Israel against

0:14:37.940 --> 0:14:39.260
<v Speaker 8>a miscalculation.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 7>CNN, the world will be amazed.

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.890
<v Speaker 8>Iran's commanders prepare for further war. And then on ABC,

0:14:46.170 --> 0:14:47.350
<v Speaker 8>Trump says U.S.

0:14:47.490 --> 0:14:50.630
<v Speaker 7>Is winning war and can leave Iran right now.

0:14:50.650 --> 0:14:52.690
<v Speaker 2>Do you think there's any chance we're going to hit

0:14:52.750 --> 0:14:55.150
<v Speaker 2>Iran hard that Trump thinks that that would be some

0:14:55.170 --> 0:14:57.010
<v Speaker 2>sort of October surprise that would help him?

0:14:59.550 --> 0:15:01.310
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy, I'd have to think about whether it would

0:15:01.370 --> 0:15:04.020
<v Speaker 3>help him before I would predict whether it would. I

0:15:04.020 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 3>think it's unlikely.

0:15:04.660 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>He would think it would help him. Yeah, I think

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:07.260
<v Speaker 2>it's unlikely.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 7>From The Guardian, Zelensky claims U.S.

0:15:11.020 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 8>Is deliberately delaying interceptor missile deliveries to Kiev.

0:15:17.070 --> 0:15:20.730
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Trying to pressure Zelensky to give up the country.

0:15:21.510 --> 0:15:24.470
<v Speaker 3>As if he can declare that. They'd throw him out

0:15:24.530 --> 0:15:27.150
<v Speaker 3>on his ear. The people of Ukraine would. The government would.

0:15:27.850 --> 0:15:29.530
<v Speaker 3>They're not going to listen to him. Nobody in Ukraine

0:15:29.550 --> 0:15:30.330
<v Speaker 3>is going to give up.

0:15:31.030 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 2>If China, the United States, and Russia come up with

0:15:33.010 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 2>a deal, how do they make it stick with Zelensky?

0:15:35.500 --> 0:15:36.060
<v Speaker 2>How does that work?

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 3>By punishing the Ukrainians good and hard for failing to

0:15:39.380 --> 0:15:40.780
<v Speaker 3>accept their new reality.

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.370
<v Speaker 8>From the Washington Post, France Prime Minister promises more curfews

0:15:47.470 --> 0:15:50.230
<v Speaker 8>as authorities seek to regain control.

0:15:50.630 --> 0:15:53.130
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I read some good stuff about the

0:15:53.150 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>whole France situation yesterday. Douglas Murray, some great It's the

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.910
<v Speaker 2>end of France, maybe the end of Western civilization stuff.

0:16:01.790 --> 0:16:03.830
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's too bad. Well, we had a good run.

0:16:05.370 --> 0:16:09.330
<v Speaker 7>USA Today. Judge scrutinizes Trump's D.C.

0:16:09.490 --> 0:16:13.430
<v Speaker 8>Golf overhaul as he calls her a crazed lunatic.

0:16:14.510 --> 0:16:17.790
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at the headlines yesterday around Trump knocked

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.979
<v Speaker 2>down some trees and widening the golf course or whatever

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the heck. How does that stuff work? Rise to the

0:16:24.500 --> 0:16:28.020
<v Speaker 2>level of a 15-minute panel on MSNBC with all the

0:16:28.140 --> 0:16:29.570
<v Speaker 2>things that are going on.

0:16:30.910 --> 0:16:33.230
<v Speaker 3>Let's keep our eye on the ball, people. It is

0:16:33.410 --> 0:16:34.410
<v Speaker 3>just ridiculous.

0:16:35.550 --> 0:16:36.250
<v Speaker 7>New York Post.

0:16:36.850 --> 0:16:41.140
<v Speaker 8>Indiana Democrat Jamie West reveals how many beers she downed

0:16:41.220 --> 0:16:42.780
<v Speaker 8>before train wreck interview.

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I saw the headline. I didn't listen to any

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.340
<v Speaker 2>of it. How was she when she was sober?

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:48.780
<v Speaker 3>Oh, beer gal.

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:49.340
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.780
<v Speaker 8>I don't know that she was sober when she made

0:16:51.820 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 8>this statement either.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.110
<v Speaker 2>I think she said she had two or three. She

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.470
<v Speaker 2>said she had three Coors Lights, which, yeah, okay. Which

0:16:58.490 --> 0:17:01.650
<v Speaker 2>is more or less what Highway Patrolman will tell you.

0:17:01.770 --> 0:17:05.710
<v Speaker 2>Everybody says who's drunk. I had two or three. Yeah.

0:17:05.730 --> 0:17:07.709
<v Speaker 3>If she was 16 years old, I might believe her,

0:17:07.730 --> 0:17:08.130
<v Speaker 3>but no.

0:17:08.510 --> 0:17:08.710
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:17:09.250 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 7>And finally, the Babylon Bee. Cute. Katie Zachariah to dress

0:17:13.190 --> 0:17:14.619
<v Speaker 7>up as a lawyer for Halloween.

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:16.500
<v Speaker 5>Oh, no.

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:17.580
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.140
<v Speaker 2>We got to talk about that. We failed to talk

0:17:20.180 --> 0:17:22.379
<v Speaker 2>about that yesterday because she resigned right after we got

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.540
<v Speaker 2>off the air on a Friday. We missed it. Missed

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:26.220
<v Speaker 2>that great soap opera.

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:27.780
<v Speaker 3>She did not have a good run.

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 2>No, she did not.

0:17:29.580 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:39.540 --> 0:17:41.230
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:17:44.690 --> 0:17:49.060
<v Speaker 6>A devastating diagnosis for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.660
<v Speaker 6>rattling the sports world, with backlash growing against the Eagles

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.100
<v Speaker 6>and their medical staff. Earlier this month, team doctors discovered

0:17:56.140 --> 0:17:59.510
<v Speaker 6>a superficial blood clot in the quarterback's calf. He traveled

0:17:59.530 --> 0:18:02.470
<v Speaker 6>to London and played the Jaguars on no sleep. They

0:18:02.510 --> 0:18:06.970
<v Speaker 6>diagnosed Hurts with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli,

0:18:07.170 --> 0:18:09.850
<v Speaker 6>with a blood clot in his leg traveling to his lungs.

0:18:10.270 --> 0:18:12.929
<v Speaker 6>Sports analysts are now questioning why he was cleared to

0:18:12.990 --> 0:18:15.490
<v Speaker 6>play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first place.

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.020
<v Speaker 2>So I have a medical question, not a sports question.

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.459
<v Speaker 2>So is a big sports deal in the NFL because

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.060
<v Speaker 2>he's one of the best players. He was the Super

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.980
<v Speaker 2>Bowl MVP year before last. Yeah, the Eagles are a

0:18:24.980 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>little sucky this year, but it's a big story.

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:26.820
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 2>And and then I don't know about the whole the

0:18:30.300 --> 0:18:32.860
<v Speaker 2>Eagles made him fly. He's a grown up. He could say, no,

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.180
<v Speaker 2>I would assume I would assume he has, you know,

0:18:35.380 --> 0:18:37.980
<v Speaker 2>makes some of his own medical decisions in his life anyway.

0:18:39.109 --> 0:18:42.510
<v Speaker 2>So he got kicked in the calf. Can you get struck, like,

0:18:42.570 --> 0:18:44.830
<v Speaker 2>kicked in the calf, and it turns into a blood clot?

0:18:44.950 --> 0:18:45.609
<v Speaker 2>That works that way?

0:18:45.630 --> 0:18:45.990
<v Speaker 3>Apparently.

0:18:46.070 --> 0:18:46.670
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that.

0:18:47.410 --> 0:18:49.290
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it makes sense, I guess, but I'd never heard

0:18:49.310 --> 0:18:53.450
<v Speaker 3>of it before. He's lucky to be alive. He's got

0:18:54.050 --> 0:18:57.530
<v Speaker 3>pulmonary emboli in both lungs. Good Lord, they call that

0:18:57.550 --> 0:18:58.410
<v Speaker 3>the widowmaker.

0:18:59.010 --> 0:18:59.410
<v Speaker 5>Oh, really?

0:19:00.010 --> 0:19:02.970
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah, yeah. That's when a blood clot breaks free,

0:19:03.230 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 3>and it jams into the artery. that either takes blood

0:19:07.020 --> 0:19:09.690
<v Speaker 3>two year long or the one that takes it away. Anyway,

0:19:09.910 --> 0:19:10.450
<v Speaker 3>it's very bad.

0:19:10.590 --> 0:19:11.930
<v Speaker 2>I know no medical terms.

0:19:12.770 --> 0:19:16.149
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. They, they thought I had a deep vein thrombosis.

0:19:16.230 --> 0:19:20.300
<v Speaker 3>I played the thrombone recently, uh, to no acclaim, uh,

0:19:20.380 --> 0:19:24.020
<v Speaker 3>and in high school. Uh, yeah. Um, but yeah, it's,

0:19:24.140 --> 0:19:29.450
<v Speaker 3>it's very, very dangerous. That was the day that my cardiologist, uh, said, hey,

0:19:29.750 --> 0:19:30.950
<v Speaker 3>call your wife. We got to take you to the

0:19:30.990 --> 0:19:34.449
<v Speaker 3>hospital right now. Really? And I'm like, wait, what?

0:19:34.490 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 2>So they had like a scan or something?

0:19:36.260 --> 0:19:36.620
<v Speaker 5>Turned out fine.

0:19:36.780 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 2>And when they looked at it, they called you?

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he called in the vein specialist. He said, no, no, no, no,

0:19:42.380 --> 0:19:44.260
<v Speaker 3>not a deep vein, shallow vein, shallow vein. He'll be

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 3>all right. And turns out he was right. But yeah,

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 3>if it is a deep vein thrombosis, very dangerous.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 2>And apparently him flying back and forth across the ocean

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't help anything.

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, and he was up all night because they couldn't

0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.250
<v Speaker 3>let him sleep for some reason because of the danger

0:20:00.350 --> 0:20:03.369
<v Speaker 3>of that. I'm totally unfamiliar with that. And so he

0:20:03.410 --> 0:20:07.590
<v Speaker 3>played without sleeping in a foreign land with his lungs

0:20:07.650 --> 0:20:10.330
<v Speaker 3>full of clots. Wait a minute. Was somebody trying to

0:20:10.369 --> 0:20:10.689
<v Speaker 3>kill him?

0:20:13.190 --> 0:20:14.530
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to go through a couple of different

0:20:14.550 --> 0:20:16.300
<v Speaker 2>news stories for you. I do want to get to

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.540
<v Speaker 2>this Douglas Murray piece later from the Free Press. France

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:24.900
<v Speaker 2>stares down the abyss of history, basically talking about listing

0:20:25.060 --> 0:20:28.899
<v Speaker 2>many civilizations that have come and gone in the long

0:20:29.100 --> 0:20:34.300
<v Speaker 2>epic of human civilization. And ours will go away too someday.

0:20:35.220 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And this might be what it looks like. We might

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 2>be watching it in France right now.

0:20:40.260 --> 0:20:45.300
<v Speaker 3>Right, right. You know, humans, you know, that is the

0:20:45.380 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 3>old it's practically cliche goes. The only thing we learn

0:20:47.900 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 3>from history is that we learn nothing from history. People

0:20:51.420 --> 0:20:56.660
<v Speaker 3>of this time, particularly Americans, have known stability and peace,

0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.010
<v Speaker 3>relative peace and prosperity for so long. They think it's inevitable.

0:21:01.990 --> 0:21:05.590
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they truly in their bones can't be convinced

0:21:06.650 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 3>that it could go away. They think you're a nut

0:21:10.020 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 3>job for suggesting it. Right.

0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:19.919
<v Speaker 2>So California, people call the UC system in California the

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.220
<v Speaker 2>best college system in the world. I've heard that many times.

0:21:23.380 --> 0:21:24.629
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they made that up. I don't

0:21:24.650 --> 0:21:26.629
<v Speaker 2>know what statistics.

0:21:27.430 --> 0:21:27.510
<v Speaker 1>Are.

0:21:29.550 --> 0:21:32.389
<v Speaker 2>These numbers came out yesterday. Nearly one in five UC

0:21:33.050 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 2>freshmen are flunking math. flunking as in earning a failing

0:21:37.900 --> 0:21:43.409
<v Speaker 2>grade withdrawing or otherwise failing to pass and given the

0:21:43.430 --> 0:21:49.850
<v Speaker 2>uh epidemic of a's in colleges and universities like at

0:21:49.869 --> 0:21:54.030
<v Speaker 2>harvard where they're giving out 80 a's although oh my

0:21:54.090 --> 0:21:56.990
<v Speaker 2>god it's the ebola no i think it's that russian thing.

0:21:56.850 --> 0:22:00.110
<v Speaker 3>Is there a russian thing i've lost track of all

0:22:00.130 --> 0:22:03.530
<v Speaker 3>the diseases oh he's dying have a plague remember they

0:22:03.550 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 3>got the plague in russia Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah,

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:09.380
<v Speaker 3>the gal who died, yeah.

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:10.310
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what I got.

0:22:11.290 --> 0:22:12.270
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the Ebola.

0:22:12.510 --> 0:22:16.450
<v Speaker 2>So in Harvard, they were giving out 80% As up

0:22:16.490 --> 0:22:18.550
<v Speaker 2>until recently when they decided, man, we ought to slow down,

0:22:18.790 --> 0:22:21.900
<v Speaker 2>including A-minuses. But A-minus are about 80% of the grades,

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:23.740
<v Speaker 2>which is insane. So I don't know what it is

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 2>at the UC systems. I don't know how hard it

0:22:25.460 --> 0:22:28.640
<v Speaker 2>would be to flunk a class is my question. But

0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:32.959
<v Speaker 2>you got nearly one in five UC freshmen flunking math.

0:22:33.550 --> 0:22:37.930
<v Speaker 2>At your UCs, San Diego's, UC, LA, UC, Santa Barbara,

0:22:37.950 --> 0:22:40.950
<v Speaker 2>all your UCs. And it varies from school to school.

0:22:42.750 --> 0:22:47.980
<v Speaker 2>For instance, at the worst one, UC Merced, 36% of

0:22:48.100 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>freshmen failed introductory math.

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 3>36%. Yes. One out of three. Because they weren't taught

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.380
<v Speaker 3>it in school. Well, right.

0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:57.900
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:22:57.940 --> 0:23:00.550
<v Speaker 2>It's not their fault. It's not their fault at all.

0:23:01.510 --> 0:23:05.550
<v Speaker 2>The problem is you graduated probably with really well, you

0:23:05.570 --> 0:23:07.429
<v Speaker 2>almost had to graduate. You know more about this than

0:23:07.470 --> 0:23:09.630
<v Speaker 2>I do, because I've never tried to get a kid

0:23:09.670 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 2>into any school. But to get into a UC school,

0:23:14.150 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I assume you had to get pretty good grades in

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:16.340
<v Speaker 2>high school.

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.500
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. I knew people who were

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 3>just absolute certified geniuses, great extracurriculars, stunning GPAs earned who

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.590
<v Speaker 3>couldn't get into their UC school of choice. I mean,

0:23:30.630 --> 0:23:33.470
<v Speaker 3>it was too crowded, partly with Chinese nationals paying full boat,

0:23:34.190 --> 0:23:36.190
<v Speaker 3>full price. Just partly.

0:23:36.369 --> 0:23:43.150
<v Speaker 2>So then your freshman math class flunked it. You probably

0:23:43.170 --> 0:23:45.470
<v Speaker 2>got A's in math in high school and thought you

0:23:45.490 --> 0:23:47.490
<v Speaker 2>were good at math. Not your fault. The teacher told

0:23:47.530 --> 0:23:47.830
<v Speaker 2>you that.

0:23:48.310 --> 0:23:51.270
<v Speaker 3>B's at worst. Absolute worst. Yeah.

0:23:51.530 --> 0:23:55.570
<v Speaker 2>And then you flunk freshman math. And that'd be quite

0:23:55.609 --> 0:23:56.550
<v Speaker 2>the shock to your system.

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.859
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah. Some days I feel like the guy who

0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 3>got to the restaurant early, but, you know, the lobby's comfortable,

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 3>so I'll sit here. I'll flip through some news headlines,

0:24:06.380 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 3>get some work done while I'm waiting for everybody to

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:13.889
<v Speaker 3>show up. The showing up being realizing how utterly corrupt

0:24:14.590 --> 0:24:17.550
<v Speaker 3>our government schools have become, how corrupt and useless they are,

0:24:17.869 --> 0:24:22.250
<v Speaker 3>how underachieving they are, how powerful and destructive the teachers'

0:24:22.369 --> 0:24:25.270
<v Speaker 3>unions have become. A lot of us are clinging to

0:24:25.490 --> 0:24:30.149
<v Speaker 3>our memories. of what public schools were back in the day.

0:24:31.150 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 3>It's a different piece. Not to say all teachers are

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 3>bad or all schools are bad. There are some that

0:24:35.780 --> 0:24:38.679
<v Speaker 3>are doing their damnedest, but all the tides are flowing

0:24:38.740 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 3>against them. It's a terrible failure.

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 2>The courses included calculus and pre-calculus, which I assume you

0:24:45.420 --> 0:24:47.460
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't take unless you thought you were pretty good at

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:51.919
<v Speaker 2>math because there's also preparatory math classes that are like

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.189
<v Speaker 2>your basic math just because you need a math credit

0:24:55.270 --> 0:24:55.930
<v Speaker 2>to graduate.

0:24:55.950 --> 0:24:56.090
<v Speaker 3>Mm-hmm.

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Also algebra and trigonometry.

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 3>But you can't explain away much of this with, you know,

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:04.540
<v Speaker 3>that person thought they were ready for calc, but it

0:25:04.580 --> 0:25:07.619
<v Speaker 3>turns out they didn't realize they weren't. No, my recollection

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:11.140
<v Speaker 3>of the educational process is it's a pretty step-by-step thing.

0:25:13.210 --> 0:25:16.490
<v Speaker 3>You don't go from basic math to trigonometry, for instance.

0:25:17.430 --> 0:25:17.630
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:25:18.830 --> 0:25:19.610
<v Speaker 3>That is something.

0:25:19.950 --> 0:25:20.110
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:25:20.609 --> 0:25:24.030
<v Speaker 2>And, of course, that brings up the argument in California

0:25:24.230 --> 0:25:28.470
<v Speaker 2>about bringing back the SAT or the ACT scores. He's

0:25:28.490 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 2>starting to do those tests again.

0:25:31.180 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Even the utterly corrupt universities are saying, hey, come on,

0:25:34.380 --> 0:25:38.860
<v Speaker 3>this is stupid. Here's the metaphor for you. And it'll

0:25:38.900 --> 0:25:40.859
<v Speaker 3>take a long time culturally for the reasons we've been

0:25:40.900 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 3>talking about. But people need to start looking at government

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:51.780
<v Speaker 3>schools as like some sort of paupers clinic for medical

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 3>care that you only go there if you're desperate because

0:25:58.619 --> 0:26:02.100
<v Speaker 3>it's moving in that direction and i realize that's incredibly

0:26:02.220 --> 0:26:04.820
<v Speaker 3>disappointing and scary to folks who are living paycheck to

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:07.060
<v Speaker 3>paycheck and the idea of a private.

0:26:06.780 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 2>School is is terrible yeah the the idea of needing

0:26:10.420 --> 0:26:12.400
<v Speaker 2>to do that is terrible it's galling when you swear

0:26:12.420 --> 0:26:14.300
<v Speaker 2>to god i it is galling and you have my

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.500
<v Speaker 2>sympathy if you pay high taxes when you write that

0:26:16.580 --> 0:26:18.540
<v Speaker 2>check for a private school it's like what is going

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 2>on here.

0:26:19.460 --> 0:26:22.949
<v Speaker 3>Yeah You're being thieved from is what's going on here.

0:26:23.310 --> 0:26:25.389
<v Speaker 2>Hey, one more story I wanted to jam in. J.D.

0:26:25.430 --> 0:26:30.490
<v Speaker 2>Vance declined to endorse Netanyahu in a re-election bid. So

0:26:30.570 --> 0:26:34.649
<v Speaker 2>Trump came out strong over the weekend endorsing Netanyahu. The

0:26:34.690 --> 0:26:38.850
<v Speaker 2>election is coming up the 27th, so just a week away.

0:26:39.670 --> 0:26:42.570
<v Speaker 2>Pretty big deal. Netanyahu is the longest serving prime minister

0:26:42.609 --> 0:26:45.889
<v Speaker 2>in Israel's history. Trump endorsed him. Vance did not. Vance

0:26:46.050 --> 0:26:48.770
<v Speaker 2>going with the, well, I'm not going to. We've got

0:26:48.810 --> 0:26:51.570
<v Speaker 2>our own elections going on. I'm not going to get

0:26:51.609 --> 0:26:55.070
<v Speaker 2>involved in another country's politics, keeping in mind that he

0:26:55.130 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>went over to Hungary and endorsed Orban, for instance.

0:26:59.940 --> 0:27:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.850
<v Speaker 2>Or went over to France and endorsed that ADF guy,

0:27:03.900 --> 0:27:07.189
<v Speaker 2>far right guy. So he's endorsed other people in other countries,

0:27:07.230 --> 0:27:08.050
<v Speaker 2>but not Netanyahu.

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 1>J.D.

0:27:08.980 --> 0:27:11.750
<v Speaker 2>Vance is trying to play pretty careful with the whole

0:27:11.770 --> 0:27:15.370
<v Speaker 2>I ain't a big Israel guy lining up to run

0:27:15.390 --> 0:27:16.710
<v Speaker 2>for president. No doubt.

0:27:17.270 --> 0:27:21.909
<v Speaker 3>He's trying to keep the anti-Semite right on his side.

0:27:22.130 --> 0:27:23.750
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what, if I was Jewish, I would

0:27:23.790 --> 0:27:25.859
<v Speaker 2>be worried about the direction of things. When J.D. Vance

0:27:26.020 --> 0:27:29.459
<v Speaker 2>is like distancing himself from Israel and then you got

0:27:29.500 --> 0:27:33.740
<v Speaker 2>the left doing what the left's doing around the Jews. Yeah,

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:34.460
<v Speaker 2>that's rough.

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:39.510
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah, it's 1936. Definitely. Yeah, and I don't say

0:27:39.550 --> 0:27:41.889
<v Speaker 3>that lightly. I just wanted to say about Vance, you know,

0:27:41.910 --> 0:27:45.730
<v Speaker 3>it is somewhat defensible in that there are other, you know, good,

0:27:45.850 --> 0:27:51.610
<v Speaker 3>strong pro-defense patriots in Israel who are like Netanyahu's got

0:27:51.630 --> 0:27:53.859
<v Speaker 3>too much baggage. He's got to go. We need a

0:27:53.859 --> 0:27:57.540
<v Speaker 3>new generation of leadership. And that's not an illegitimate point

0:27:57.580 --> 0:27:57.860
<v Speaker 3>of view.

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.100
<v Speaker 2>He's also given speeches in which he talked about Israel

0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:03.540
<v Speaker 2>dragging us into a war.

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no, no, no, no. J.D. is absolutely kowtowing to

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:08.379
<v Speaker 3>the anti-Semite.

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:09.899
<v Speaker 2>The Jews.

0:28:10.380 --> 0:28:10.740
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.959
<v Speaker 3>He's absolutely kowtowing to them. I'm just saying in general

0:28:15.020 --> 0:28:18.060
<v Speaker 3>for you, me and everyone listening, you know, Netanyahu is

0:28:18.140 --> 0:28:21.220
<v Speaker 3>not the only choice in Israeli politics.

0:28:21.310 --> 0:28:23.530
<v Speaker 2>By the way, here's an inside media comment on this.

0:28:24.330 --> 0:28:27.969
<v Speaker 2>I heard somebody commenting. So that that J.D. Vance story

0:28:28.030 --> 0:28:30.629
<v Speaker 2>came out of an interview Mark Halperin did with J.D.

0:28:30.670 --> 0:28:35.390
<v Speaker 2>Vance on Air Force Two. And somebody commented, I haven't

0:28:35.430 --> 0:28:39.530
<v Speaker 2>watched the whole interview, but somebody commented, lots of news

0:28:39.590 --> 0:28:42.630
<v Speaker 2>made here. That's what happens if a journalist sits down

0:28:42.670 --> 0:28:45.780
<v Speaker 2>with the idea of trying to reveal positions or make

0:28:45.860 --> 0:28:49.959
<v Speaker 2>news rather than has an ax to grind politically. And

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 2>that's true. I'm so used to interviews on either Fox

0:28:54.980 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 2>or MSNBC where you're there to prop up somebody that

0:28:59.060 --> 0:29:01.830
<v Speaker 2>you like or tear down somebody you hate as opposed

0:29:01.870 --> 0:29:03.310
<v Speaker 2>to just get information out of them.

0:29:03.770 --> 0:29:04.830
<v Speaker 1>Right. Yeah.

0:29:06.330 --> 0:29:06.530
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:29:06.690 --> 0:29:11.490
<v Speaker 3>Journalism may not be dead, but it's very, very ill. Oh,

0:29:11.610 --> 0:29:14.930
<v Speaker 3>I've got my favorite political candidate, perhaps of all time.

0:29:16.490 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Brady Rogers is running for the city council of his

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:24.980
<v Speaker 3>British Columbia city. He's a Canucker, a Canadian. He's gained

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 3>attention for his campaign signs, which bore slogans such as,

0:29:28.540 --> 0:29:30.900
<v Speaker 3>I barely want to do this. Just trying to pay

0:29:30.940 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 3>my rent. Fine, I'll do it. And How hard can

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:37.130
<v Speaker 3>it be? Even his campaign website opens with the message.

0:29:37.370 --> 0:29:39.010
<v Speaker 3>Do I enjoy politics? No.

0:29:39.250 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Do I?

0:29:39.990 --> 0:29:43.650
<v Speaker 3>Know what I'm doing? No. But am I qualified? Also, no.

0:29:43.670 --> 0:29:49.860
<v Speaker 3>I have a feeling we're about to get your attention.

0:29:49.900 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 2>So talking a lot about the midterms, with DraftKings, you

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:58.100
<v Speaker 2>can now follow election season in a new way. Make

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:01.410
<v Speaker 2>predictions on the races you're watching. From control of Congress

0:30:01.450 --> 0:30:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and governor races to local contests getting attention where you live.

0:30:04.940 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe whether old Brady wins or not. As new polls

0:30:07.540 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 3>come out and headlines develop, you can follow the percentages

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.060

0:30:59.620 --> 0:31:03.020
<v Speaker 2>Usually we're talking about sports, NFL, Monday Night Football. Last night,

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:06.180
<v Speaker 2>the San Francisco 49ers are now undefeated in 6-0. Did

0:31:06.220 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you know that Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the 49ers,

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:12.220
<v Speaker 2>I don't know after last night, because last night was

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:15.770
<v Speaker 2>his 51st game, but going in, 50 games in, he

0:31:15.830 --> 0:31:22.250
<v Speaker 2>had the highest quarterback percentage, your rating, in the history

0:31:22.270 --> 0:31:22.930
<v Speaker 2>of the NFL.

0:31:23.410 --> 0:31:23.950
<v Speaker 3>That is correct.

0:31:24.190 --> 0:31:26.010
<v Speaker 2>Through 50 games. That's incredible.

0:31:26.030 --> 0:31:26.570
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Midway through the game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were

0:31:30.540 --> 0:31:32.830
<v Speaker 3>fitting him for his Hall of Fame jacket. They were

0:31:32.870 --> 0:31:35.570
<v Speaker 3>down on the field with the measuring devices and the

0:31:35.590 --> 0:31:38.370
<v Speaker 3>rest of it. And then the last three series, the

0:31:38.450 --> 0:31:41.810
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco 49ers ran three and outs, and they about

0:31:41.970 --> 0:31:46.459
<v Speaker 3>lost to the lonely Washington Commanders. So they sputtered to

0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 3>the finish.

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Has something. The last guy in the draft has the

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 2>highest quarterback rating in NFL history.

0:31:53.940 --> 0:31:56.930
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah. Doesn't that say something about something? I'm sure

0:31:56.970 --> 0:31:57.270
<v Speaker 3>it does.

0:31:57.590 --> 0:31:59.210
<v Speaker 2>Their ability to evaluate talent.

0:31:59.590 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 3>You figure it out.

0:32:00.210 --> 0:32:03.050
<v Speaker 2>That means every team passed on him six times?

0:32:03.630 --> 0:32:06.710
<v Speaker 3>Try, try again or something. Takes one to know one.

0:32:06.890 --> 0:32:08.710
<v Speaker 2>Six times you had a chance to draft him as

0:32:08.750 --> 0:32:12.150
<v Speaker 2>a team. You're like, no, no, no, not him. Every team,

0:32:12.250 --> 0:32:12.810
<v Speaker 2>six times.

0:32:13.590 --> 0:32:14.180
<v Speaker 1>No, not him.

0:32:14.930 --> 0:32:15.130
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:32:15.470 --> 0:32:16.230
<v Speaker 3>Anybody but him.

0:32:16.330 --> 0:32:19.310
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't you be embarrassed? Wouldn't you want to quit and

0:32:19.330 --> 0:32:19.850
<v Speaker 2>find new work?

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 3>We'll take the hot dog vendor out of Michigan State.

0:32:23.620 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 3>That dude can really carry that thing up and down

0:32:25.700 --> 0:32:26.620
<v Speaker 3>the stairs. We'll take him.

0:32:27.180 --> 0:32:29.860
<v Speaker 2>Just not Brock Purdy. We got mailbag next.

0:32:31.660 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 5>Armstrong and Getty.

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:42.870
<v Speaker 1>The Armstrong and Getty Show.

0:32:46.660 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Seven times, a texter pointed out. So the guy most

0:32:49.340 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 2>likely to be MVP in the NFL this season, Brock Purdy,

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 2>was passed on by every single team seven times before

0:32:57.900 --> 0:33:00.260
<v Speaker 2>the 49ers said, I guess we got to take somebody.

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 3>They were picking punters and just long snappers.

0:33:08.140 --> 0:33:10.100
<v Speaker 2>Guys who had never played but were pretty big and

0:33:10.140 --> 0:33:10.900
<v Speaker 2>work in the office.

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:12.420
<v Speaker 3>Right, right.

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.710
<v Speaker 3>Mailbag. Oh, I'm sorry. Freedom-loving quote of the day first.

0:33:17.450 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Almost went with a political one, but then I came

0:33:19.130 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>across this, and I really liked it. It's from Oscar

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:23.940
<v Speaker 3>Alick Ice, whose work I do not know. I hope

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:27.140
<v Speaker 3>he's not somebody loathsome. But I like this quote. The

0:33:27.180 --> 0:33:31.430
<v Speaker 3>greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are. The

0:33:31.610 --> 0:33:34.350
<v Speaker 3>second greatest is being happy with what you find.

0:33:34.670 --> 0:33:37.450
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's good. Who said that?

0:33:38.650 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 3>Oscar Alick Ice. Dash Ice. A-U-L-I-Q Ice.

0:33:43.780 --> 0:33:46.810
<v Speaker 2>I do not know.

0:33:47.740 --> 0:33:49.270
<v Speaker 3>I'll leak ice, baby.

0:33:49.410 --> 0:33:49.970
<v Speaker 5>Stop. Right.

0:33:50.050 --> 0:33:51.150
<v Speaker 2>Collaborate and listen.

0:33:51.830 --> 0:33:57.310
<v Speaker 3>Oh, no. Make him stop. Mailbag. Wow, that's terrible. Mailbag

0:33:57.350 --> 0:34:00.190
<v Speaker 3>at armstrongandgetty.com. Nobody should know the words to that song,

0:34:00.230 --> 0:34:02.460
<v Speaker 3>including the guy who wrote it. Got sued for it.

0:34:03.350 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's see. On this topic, Jack, I know this will

0:34:05.960 --> 0:34:07.300
<v Speaker 3>be near and dear to your heart. We've been talking

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:11.470
<v Speaker 3>about this both on and off the air from Gabrielle. Writing, guys,

0:34:11.510 --> 0:34:14.649
<v Speaker 3>on the topic of wokeness replacing religion, I was just

0:34:14.730 --> 0:34:17.210
<v Speaker 3>listening to part of a podcast about wokeness filling the

0:34:17.230 --> 0:34:20.069
<v Speaker 3>void of Catholicism. I live in a part of Idaho

0:34:20.090 --> 0:34:23.500
<v Speaker 3>with a high LDS population. That's the Mormons. And the

0:34:23.540 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 3>most serious lefties I know are ex-LDS. You spend your

0:34:27.460 --> 0:34:31.259
<v Speaker 3>whole childhood hearing about unquestionable moral authority. Who knows what's

0:34:31.300 --> 0:34:32.930
<v Speaker 3>best for you, even if it doesn't make sense to

0:34:32.950 --> 0:34:35.089
<v Speaker 3>you in the moment. No wonder you're searching for something

0:34:35.130 --> 0:34:37.469
<v Speaker 3>else that gives you the same moral comfort. Thanks for

0:34:37.510 --> 0:34:40.950
<v Speaker 3>keeping me entertained on long drives across Idaho. It's our pleasure, Gabriel.

0:34:41.050 --> 0:34:44.919
<v Speaker 3>Thank you. That's a good point. I think it's true.

0:34:45.020 --> 0:34:48.899
<v Speaker 3>It seems a little odd to me, but it's true.

0:34:50.100 --> 0:34:54.760
<v Speaker 3>People generally go from one fundamentalism to another. In short,

0:34:55.260 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 3>let's see. Sarah with two R's in Kentucky writes, guys,

0:34:58.660 --> 0:35:01.450
<v Speaker 3>on the topic of Paris, it's sobering to realize that

0:35:01.489 --> 0:35:04.310
<v Speaker 3>the rioters in France are treating the country's architectural gems

0:35:04.370 --> 0:35:05.770
<v Speaker 3>worse than the Nazis did.

0:35:05.810 --> 0:35:05.910
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:06.989 --> 0:35:09.270
<v Speaker 3>It's true, and it's depressing to hear the young female

0:35:09.330 --> 0:35:11.770
<v Speaker 3>shop owner shown in so many photos now memes begging

0:35:11.810 --> 0:35:15.230
<v Speaker 3>looters to stop destroying her life's work, but she still

0:35:15.320 --> 0:35:19.340
<v Speaker 3>supports immigration, rampant immigration. I guess suicidal ideologies are a

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.240
<v Speaker 3>human right. Though Paris is now the city of light,

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.400
<v Speaker 3>it could still be the city of love. Tim Walz

0:35:24.420 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 3>could whisk his wife away on a romantic trip where

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:30.730
<v Speaker 3>she can sleep in ennui and languidly smoke French cigarettes

0:35:31.050 --> 0:35:36.350
<v Speaker 3>while huffing the aroma of burning tires. That's a beautiful sentence. Yeah.

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:41.010
<v Speaker 3>Let's see. Another J in San Jose says, I think

0:35:41.140 --> 0:35:44.890
<v Speaker 3>France should immediately enact under emergency powers that any naturalized citizen,

0:35:44.910 --> 0:35:48.490
<v Speaker 3>refugee or other non-citizen status who participate in riots, destruction,

0:35:48.530 --> 0:35:51.450
<v Speaker 3>theft and other behavior will be deported. Then based on

0:35:51.530 --> 0:35:55.450
<v Speaker 3>French revolutionary history, let's get through the establishment executions quickly.

0:35:55.790 --> 0:35:58.430
<v Speaker 3>One week max. Then let's welcome the new revolutionaries, give

0:35:58.489 --> 0:36:01.109
<v Speaker 3>them control of the government. France is nuclear, so that's

0:36:01.140 --> 0:36:02.940
<v Speaker 3>a concern. This means we'll have to hurry up the

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.239
<v Speaker 3>executions of the revolutionaries that had shades of Robespierre I

0:36:06.260 --> 0:36:08.879
<v Speaker 3>proposed within two weeks. We could probably wrap up this

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:11.259
<v Speaker 3>whole thing within a month and get back to 40-hour

0:36:11.300 --> 0:36:15.299
<v Speaker 3>work weeks, retirement at 65, and shut the blank up.

0:36:16.610 --> 0:36:20.669
<v Speaker 3>That's good stuff, another J. I love that. Let's see.

0:36:20.770 --> 0:36:22.629
<v Speaker 3>Amani points out that the NFL is supposed to play

0:36:22.670 --> 0:36:27.629
<v Speaker 3>in Paris this weekend. They say it's still on. We'll see.

0:36:28.030 --> 0:36:28.690
<v Speaker 3>We'll see if it's on.

0:36:29.350 --> 0:36:32.150
<v Speaker 2>What a great thing to disrupt. What a symbol of

0:36:32.230 --> 0:36:34.589
<v Speaker 2>Western civilization to disrupt an NFL game.

0:36:35.270 --> 0:36:39.359
<v Speaker 3>And how much would France hate that? Yeah. We got

0:36:39.410 --> 0:36:42.259
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of emails on the topic of Trump and

0:36:42.340 --> 0:36:44.339
<v Speaker 3>Russia and Ukraine and that sort of thing.

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Want to do that for a standalone segment?

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:48.230
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why don't we do that later on? I'll collect

0:36:48.250 --> 0:36:50.370
<v Speaker 3>the good ones. Both agree and disagree. Obviously, you're more

0:36:50.410 --> 0:36:53.090
<v Speaker 3>than welcome to dissent around here. We think it's a

0:36:53.190 --> 0:36:55.590
<v Speaker 3>good thing. Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com.

0:36:55.690 --> 0:36:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to get into that in an hour

0:36:56.860 --> 0:36:58.660
<v Speaker 2>or two. That's a heck of a topic which I

0:36:58.700 --> 0:37:01.100
<v Speaker 2>think could really explode in the Republican Party. If you

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 2>miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.
