Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack ar'm Strong and Joe, Katty arm Strong and Petty
Speaker 2: and Key.
Speaker 3: Army from the studio Clay Senior.
Speaker 2: It's a dimly lit room. Where are we deep within
Speaker 2: the bowels of the.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and getting communications compound on Little Friday and today
Speaker 1: we're under the tutelage of our general.
Speaker 2: Manager anonymous sources.
Speaker 1: Awesome, fantastic, how y'all doing. I'm working on this. Come
Speaker 1: to music, Michael here, I'm working on Oh oh, wait
Speaker 1: a minute. On the twelfth day of the election, my
Speaker 1: drill Love gave to me three cackling VP. He's two
Speaker 1: knuckleheads and a fascist in a pear tree.
Speaker 2: Wah wah, love it, love it. Twelve days ago was
Speaker 2: the point of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're through silly season into stupid season, and tomorrow
Speaker 1: is the dawn of are U f and kidding this season?
Speaker 2: Boy? As you about to find out when we get
Speaker 2: to our opening clips. It is.
Speaker 1: Clear the closing argument on Trump is he's a deranged fascist.
Speaker 1: Wow wow. I'd be more concerned if he was a
Speaker 1: coherent fascist. Honestly, that is because I need to be effective.
Speaker 1: What a crazy closing argument that is. I mean, and
Speaker 1: some of you believe it's true, so okay, fine, but wow,
Speaker 1: I mean, that is just absolutely amazing. I'm not a
Speaker 1: fan of Hitler, of all the things. Next, she's a robot.
Speaker 1: He's a lizard in a skin suit. Yeah, okay, here
Speaker 1: we go. Right, he's two midgets in a man's suit,
Speaker 1: shoulders like the vertical horse outfit, right right. And nobody's
Speaker 1: no I was watching taking in like the punditry from
Speaker 1: all my favorite people with inside scoops and all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yesterday.
Speaker 1: Nobody's sure why they made the turn or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's no reporting on that yet, Like how they decided,
Speaker 1: because up until like three days ago, it was we're
Speaker 1: here to help the middle class, we're gonna bring prices down,
Speaker 1: you know, various those kind of normal running for president issues.
Speaker 1: But they made the hard turn up he's a mentally
Speaker 1: ill fascist, and now it's.
Speaker 2: Just the message.
Speaker 1: The same reason a football team that's dedicated to establishing
Speaker 1: the run goes away from the run because it's not working.
Speaker 2: And that's that's the speculation.
Speaker 1: It's difficult to come up with an alternate explanation that
Speaker 1: makes any sense.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it is. Yes, Michael, I'm.
Speaker 1: Already picturing some of the networks now showing Trump waving
Speaker 1: and then saying, if you look at that wave, We're
Speaker 1: we're close to that, Michael, we are this close to
Speaker 1: As you can see, his wave is reminiscent of this
Speaker 1: picture in those show were this Just John and the
Speaker 1: retired paratrooper sent us a funny picture. It's entirely a visual,
Speaker 1: but it was from CBS News's website, uh having to
Speaker 1: do with Trump in January sixth, and Trump is a
Speaker 1: black and white picture him in profile, looking very serious
Speaker 1: and evil and because the lighting the shadow of his
Speaker 1: nose gave him just a bit of saying the moustasia
Speaker 1: and this CS News when with Ted for their illustration, Wow,
Speaker 1: so come on, Wow, We're into are you effing kidding me?
Speaker 2: Season?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, I like when I learned something new.
Speaker 1: Here's something I learned yesterday about campaign stuff like that,
Speaker 1: because I'd just been rolling my eyes at the Bruce
Speaker 1: Springsteen concert and the Taylor Swift to rally and that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: More or less. Oh oh, and violent Jay from Insane
Speaker 2: Clown Pop.
Speaker 1: He has come out in favor of Kamala Harris to
Speaker 1: joining the list of.
Speaker 2: Greats violent j from an insane clone posse I did that.
Speaker 2: I don't know that insane clown icp con. They're Juggalows
Speaker 2: Chuggleonation rising up.
Speaker 1: So, Uh, Springsteen's in Georgia, and I think Tea Swizzle's
Speaker 1: doing a Wisconsin thing next week. And uh, there's a
Speaker 1: rumor going around that Lizzo got paid two and a
Speaker 1: half million dollars for her deals she did in North
Speaker 1: Carolina or wherever she was. And uh, and I was
Speaker 1: listening to a Democratic strategist said that would be cheap.
Speaker 1: I mean if that, he's worth every dollar and explained
Speaker 1: why that it's to go into the Springsteen concert, the
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift event, Lizzo or whatever. You have to give
Speaker 1: over your your email address, name, that sort of stuff
Speaker 1: that's part of the deal, and they turn out, he said,
Speaker 1: if they turn out half, which would be a low number,
Speaker 1: if they turn out half the people that showed up
Speaker 1: to see Lizzo to vote, that is easily worth two
Speaker 1: and a half million dollars compared to spending that much
Speaker 1: money on a big ad buy where there's no way
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that many people to turn out. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's bang for your buck. It's incredibly effective. And
Speaker 1: I'm guessing. And then a bunch of people disputed that
Speaker 1: I'm guessing. Springsteen and Taylor Swift aren't taking a dime
Speaker 1: for this. But the idea is not, Oh, look, the
Speaker 1: freaking singer likes the Democrat, big deal. It's that they're
Speaker 1: gonna turn you know, half the sixty thousand people that
Speaker 1: showed up to the concert out on election day or
Speaker 1: get them to a vote early. It's like everything else
Speaker 1: in the modern world. It's a data graph. It's like
Speaker 1: everything everything sign up for this. It ain't about it
Speaker 1: ain't about to winning the hot tub. It's about them
Speaker 1: having your email address for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: You're right, isn't that interesting? Though I had no idea
Speaker 1: it was that effective. And here I sit unhot tubbed
Speaker 1: and bespammed, right, having learned a bitter lesson. Yeah no kidding, well,
Speaker 1: it starts suo officially. She can hear Tim Walls and
Speaker 1: Kamala Harrison will contune our conversation. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Speaker 1: Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, twelve days out
Speaker 1: October twenty four, the year twenty twenty four, where Armstrong
Speaker 1: are getting. We approve of this program.
Speaker 2: To quote the late great Hunter S.
Speaker 1: Thompson, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro
Speaker 1: So let's begin officially now according to FCC rules and regulations.
Speaker 2: Leaping into action at mark, I thank for many of us.
Speaker 1: The last twenty four hours certainly have been a bit shaking,
Speaker 1: with the reporting coming out in the Atlantic donald Trump's
Speaker 1: dissension into madness.
Speaker 2: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes? I do, Yes,
Speaker 2: I do. How about um dfs around here? Deranged fascists?
Speaker 2: That's where we are twelve days out.
Speaker 1: The VP wall says his descent into madness as if
Speaker 1: that's just a given, and we all agree, oh, agreed, yes,
Speaker 1: And then a president, one of the two main presidential
Speaker 1: candidates calling their opponent fly out fascist.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, it is just.
Speaker 1: It's teetering between hilarious and incredibly troubling.
Speaker 2: Second to second, I changed my opinion. It's both.
Speaker 1: It's horrifarious. It's definitely both. It is horrifying and hilarious.
Speaker 1: It is wild man, whoa you're a fascist? Man? Well
Speaker 1: as we've seen right, Well, they all, they both used
Speaker 1: their super serious tones yesterday, so this was clearly orchestrated.
Speaker 2: Nobody's nailed that down yet.
Speaker 1: But obviously she didn't start making her he's a fascist
Speaker 1: argument like three four days early. Then the Atlantic piece
Speaker 1: landed with the interview from John Kelly by accident, so
Speaker 1: somebody came up with the here's our closing argument, he's
Speaker 1: a fascist. He's a he's a lunatic fascist. That's a's
Speaker 1: dark descent into madness. That's our closing argument. So all
Speaker 1: that clearly was coordinated, maybe like the births of the
Speaker 1: Resist peanut butter cuffs according to the old commercials. So
Speaker 1: you had your he's a fascist crowd. You had there
Speaker 1: it's a descent in a madness crowd, and they realized,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, let's combine these two fabulous ideas into
Speaker 1: one tasty political treat He's a deranged, fashion arranged and fascist,
Speaker 1: two great tastes that tastes great together.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, you got fascist in my deranged, you got deranged
Speaker 1: in my fascist.
Speaker 2: That's the closing argument. Oh my god, there you go.
Speaker 2: What nazis. That's what we're talking about. Nazis. Thanks, what
Speaker 2: we're talking about? Crazy Nazis.
Speaker 1: That's Trump Nazis, but kind of you know, Nundy on
Speaker 1: the hinge the Nazis. And then it helps to have
Speaker 1: the full buy in of the dominant media where they
Speaker 1: all opened with their somber tones yesterday.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, it turns out, is a fascist. I'm Nora
Speaker 2: o'donald with the CBS Evening News.
Speaker 1: And then you go to the Tim Wallas Cliff, Well,
Speaker 1: we've all observed his descent into madness.
Speaker 2: Whoa Hitler fanboy?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump took to the stump in Pennsylvania today. Okay,
Speaker 1: and it I guess the question is is that you
Speaker 1: know it's all about moving the undecided voters? Is that
Speaker 1: doing it? Is that making anybody think? You know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of on the fence. But now that Tim Walla
Speaker 1: said he's descended into madinus, I suppose I better go
Speaker 1: with hairs or is it eight?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's difficult for me to picture what levers, if you will,
Speaker 1: are effective or ineffective in moving a voter who at
Speaker 1: this moment could be swayed by that sort of rhetoric.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that feels like, what that sounds like.
Speaker 1: Maybe they've switched gears, which David Ploff running her campaign
Speaker 1: is one of the best ever at this sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just gone with no, it's turnout. We just
Speaker 1: turn out all our people.
Speaker 2: We will win. Screw the undecided voters.
Speaker 1: We turn out way bigger number, and we're gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna motivate.
Speaker 2: People were all worked up in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: They were so worked up against Trump and probably not
Speaker 1: as worked up now, and they're trying to get him
Speaker 1: at that fever pitch of fear about Donald Trump to
Speaker 1: get that level of turnout again, which reminds me. I
Speaker 1: just saw an account I can't remember where I read it.
Speaker 1: I read all day long, but it was talking about
Speaker 1: several different states that have the early voting going where
Speaker 1: the lines yesterday were an hour and a half long
Speaker 1: yesterday Wednesday, October the twenty third. Who stands in line
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half when you've got thirteen
Speaker 1: days to do this.
Speaker 2: I show up on the lines that long and think, Okay,
Speaker 2: we'll do this a different day. I ain't doing it today.
Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you, and they actually quoted people
Speaker 1: saying that very thing. But the existence of the lines
Speaker 1: is the story. Obviously, what's going on there?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then this little nugget before this polling obviously happened
Speaker 1: before the last two days of news. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: any of this stuff has any effect on anybody. That's
Speaker 1: the problem with hyperbole, as we all know, boy crying wolf,
Speaker 1: et cetera.
Speaker 2: Or you know, turn it if.
Speaker 1: You've ever been in music, everybody turning their amps up
Speaker 1: to eleven, eventually everybody's as loud as they can go.
Speaker 1: Just I just don't know if any of this stuff
Speaker 1: means anything to anybody anymore.
Speaker 2: I mean, you go back.
Speaker 1: To the middle of the two thousand and eight one
Speaker 1: candidate saying the other candidate has descended into madness. It
Speaker 1: had all been stood there with our mouths open. What well,
Speaker 1: and as a co headliner with he's hitler, I mean,
Speaker 1: what the what? And I just don't know if any
Speaker 1: of this because everything is turned up to eleven, don't
Speaker 1: I don't actually know.
Speaker 2: But this, in.
Speaker 1: Fairness, the counter argument, at least to some extent on
Speaker 1: the other side, not officially, but is she's a halfwood
Speaker 1: have slept her way to the top. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: not exactly a Jeffersonian counter argument. Well, Some of the
Speaker 1: counter argument is is Trump is a wacky, wacky dude,
Speaker 1: and his comments about John Kelly yesterday were out of line,
Speaker 1: so far overboard. In my opinion, I just thought, why
Speaker 1: do you got to be that way, dude? Why do
Speaker 1: you got to be that way? Because he is that way?
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Yeah, we'll we'll talk about that later. But Trump,
Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal poll that's out today, has
Speaker 1: the highest approval rating he's ever had running for president.
Speaker 1: He's more popular than he's ever been. People liked his
Speaker 1: approval is deranged?
Speaker 2: Fascist?
Speaker 1: Isn't fifty two percent approval forty eight percent disapproval in
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal pole today, it's.
Speaker 2: Not what Kyell he's ever been.
Speaker 1: I know, you know what it's getting beyond my astonishment,
Speaker 1: it's everything we've been talking about. It is that is
Speaker 1: a vote of disapproval of those who are a rated
Speaker 1: against him. That is when their excesses and their dishonesty,
Speaker 1: they're one sided. This including to a large measure, to
Speaker 1: large measure, the media. Yeah, when Tim Wall says we've
Speaker 1: all seen his descent into madness, I think, all right, dude,
Speaker 1: whatever I mean that makes me want to go the
Speaker 1: other direct not because try's any less deranged.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an expression.
Speaker 1: Of disapproval as much as approval df deranged fascists.
Speaker 2: How does vailbag look? It's actually very good.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is going to be a wild last twelve days.
Speaker 1: Our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 2: Armstrong Andngetti plug it in some.
Speaker 1: Of the news of the day. Also, North Korea sending
Speaker 1: troops to Russia is a thing because now South Korea
Speaker 1: is sending weapons to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: So there you go. Oh boy, here's your freedom loving
Speaker 2: quote of the day.
Speaker 1: Oddly a series that will be introduced for the next
Speaker 1: several days by the sitting Vice President of the United States,
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5: Ours is an administration that is always focused on equity.
Speaker 5: Are all people having the same experience and if not,
Speaker 5: in particular, what they are entitled to, such as the
Speaker 5: right to clean up water, the right to clean air.
Speaker 5: Then let's address that. So ronmental justice is a phrase
Speaker 5: that we used to talk.
Speaker 2: All right, Michael, turn it off.
Speaker 1: We'll just use the beginning the fight for equity and
Speaker 1: which your mental justice. Oh there are one hundred different
Speaker 1: fuzzy terms they throw around, but anyway, we'll just use
Speaker 1: the very beginning of that. The argument for equity meaning
Speaker 1: equal outcomes, got some interesting folks talking about this. We'll
Speaker 1: start oddly with doctor phil but what he said was great.
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything more destructive to a society
Speaker 1: than teaching everybody that we're going to work towards an
Speaker 1: equality of outcome.
Speaker 2: That's been tried.
Speaker 1: We got one hundred million corpses to prove that doesn't
Speaker 1: work well, said Philip mailbag and again more to come
Speaker 1: clear into next week. Was our freedom loving quote of
Speaker 1: the day from doctor philm I believe that's correct.
Speaker 2: We're checking the record. Yes it was a good quote,
Speaker 2: but drop us.
Speaker 1: A note mail Bag at Armstrong you getty dot com. Gentlemen,
Speaker 1: I'm a fagstough friend of Armstrong you Getty since day one,
Speaker 1: thanks to my mother and he he mentions to folks,
Speaker 1: you can't tell which one of us is which, or
Speaker 1: which voices which go to YouTube. There are a number
Speaker 1: of A and G YouTube clips that you could survey.
Speaker 2: So that's anyway, thank you for the note. It's actually
Speaker 2: quite lovely, but we have no time.
Speaker 1: Rich in beautiful green oregan rights based on my explanation
Speaker 1: of why saying Hitler didn't do anything good is an
Speaker 1: idiotic way to approach the rise and follow Third Reich.
Speaker 2: He said, So, I guess if Joe went back in
Speaker 2: a time machine, he would not kill baby Hitler. All right,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: I love that as a discussion. Would you kill baby Hitler?
Speaker 1: That's a good one.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: This is from Brian, Hello, Jack and Joe. If I
Speaker 1: was drive by media, I'd worry all this taka Hitler
Speaker 1: might turn college young women for Trump. After all, they
Speaker 1: would like the final solution. By all the signs I've
Speaker 1: seen on campus. Whoa, whoa, they're flaming angry anti semitism.
Speaker 1: Interesting take Brian from Santa Rosa. How about Burbank Luke Guys,
Speaker 1: of course Trump is Hitler. I was hiding liberals under
Speaker 1: my floorboards when he invaded British Columbian twenty seventeen. That's
Speaker 1: some good sarcastic. You're really minimizing the evil of the
Speaker 1: Third Reich by comparing Trump to Elois Schickeldruper. Oh and
Speaker 1: he says you better bring the Hitler bell. It cracks
Speaker 1: my daughter up. And Michael's been slacking lately.
Speaker 2: Yes, he has. There's never been a time, Michael, where
Speaker 2: it's been more important to play the Hitler bell.
Speaker 1: We need a national Hitler bell like the whole country
Speaker 1: rings every time one of our candidates says Hitler.
Speaker 2: The point of the.
Speaker 1: Hitler bell being on the Armstrong and Getty show that
Speaker 1: it would draw a little extra attention to any gratuitous
Speaker 1: use of Hitler as an example of anything right, Uh
Speaker 1: Jack Joe Kamala should run an ad showing a sixteen
Speaker 1: year old boy coming home from school and telling his dad, Hey, Dad,
Speaker 1: I know that you're only forty, but you can retire.
Speaker 1: Thanks to President Harris's efforts to raise the minimum wage
Speaker 1: to a living wage. I can now support our family
Speaker 1: of four with the job I just got at McDonald's.
Speaker 1: I don't even have to finish high school. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: That is more great sarcasm. Well done, don Oh, we
Speaker 1: don't have time. Who is the real threat to democracy?
Speaker 1: John with a great answer to that question. We'll slip
Speaker 1: it in the next half hour.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 1: That's all on the way. Lots of news today. I
Speaker 1: hope you can stay with us if you miss an hour.
Speaker 1: Get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, I saw that last night in Detroit former President
Speaker 6: Obama campaign with eminem and he recited he recited a
Speaker 6: few lines of lose yourself.
Speaker 4: Now, I notice my palm's a sweating week, has a
Speaker 4: heaven swallow runners the gunner.
Speaker 2: All right, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 6: The crowd loved it, while Sasha and Malia were like, well,
Speaker 6: we lost our votes.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: That is one of the great ald time songs. But
Speaker 1: whenever I do that, my kids are like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I hope nobody saw us. What is so off putting
Speaker 1: about dad trying to be cool? I don't know, but
Speaker 1: not trying to be cool, just doing what you've always done.
Speaker 1: But man, does it make my kids cringe? I mean
Speaker 1: just oh, I've got something just popped into my head
Speaker 1: as a theory, all right, that this we haven't seen
Speaker 1: the October surprise yet, which is quite possible so as
Speaker 1: taken in some of the information during the commercial break,
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris once again with a late start to
Speaker 1: the day. She's not getting out and doing stuff till
Speaker 1: one o'clock, which is unprecedented in major candidates running.
Speaker 2: For president, sleeping off or drunk. As we've said many times.
Speaker 1: I mean the common thing is like you're up at
Speaker 1: five and at your first rally on the west coast,
Speaker 1: East coast, West east coast, and then you work your
Speaker 1: way across the country against the time zones and everything
Speaker 1: like that, and close late and fly back and sleep
Speaker 1: four hours in your bleary eyed and everybody wonders how
Speaker 1: you do it.
Speaker 2: And I mean that's the way. It's all happy, full
Speaker 2: of metamphetamines. Like Hitler's troops. Hitler again, always come up again.
Speaker 1: She rolls out one o'clock, does cup things, goes back
Speaker 1: whatever she's doing, I think again to the point of
Speaker 1: them being all in on this whole Trump's deranged, mentally
Speaker 1: ill fascist, I think they're gonna drop some big bomb
Speaker 1: of some sort opo research thing that they think is
Speaker 1: gonna make all the difference, and they're just all in
Speaker 1: on this, and like, you know, don't worry about you know,
Speaker 1: the rallies or whatever.
Speaker 2: That's not what's gonna win or lose.
Speaker 1: This. This big piece of information we got coming out
Speaker 1: in the last ten days is the thing.
Speaker 2: And that's either gonna convince people or it's not. That's
Speaker 2: my current theory.
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, I wonder if it'll be a thing or
Speaker 1: it will be several things.
Speaker 2: And I bring because I don't think we have the
Speaker 2: audio ready yet.
Speaker 1: But you mean like starting with the Atlantic interview yesterday
Speaker 1: and then building with more and morleys. Well, yeah, except
Speaker 1: specifically targeted to certain groups. For instance, the Atlantic hit
Speaker 1: piece that's getting a fair amount of discussion includes a
Speaker 1: section whereby and I don't.
Speaker 2: Think we have this audio yet, no worries, we'll get
Speaker 2: to it later.
Speaker 1: But the accusation being that Trump met with the family
Speaker 1: of a murdered service person and told them that, according
Speaker 1: to the Jeffrey Goldstein Atlantic thing, he said something of
Speaker 1: a pain for the funeral, and then when it turned
Speaker 1: out it was going to be expensive, he said, I'm
Speaker 1: not paying fifty thousand dollars to bury an effing Mexican. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then the entire family is outraged and saying not
Speaker 1: only did he never say anything like that, he wouldn't have.
Speaker 1: He was incredibly helpful and kind and sympathetic in the
Speaker 1: rest of it. That other people are at that meeting,
Speaker 1: or like he didn't say that. It's just unhinged, but
Speaker 1: it's directly going at Latino's who are flocking toward Trump.
Speaker 1: So CBS led with that last night. I got Hanson
Speaker 1: grabbing that just so you can hear how Nora o'donald
Speaker 1: introduced it. It was like the first sentence out of
Speaker 1: her mouth practically last night, and I hadn't heard that
Speaker 1: story until you just described it. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: she was talking about because I didn't finish the newscast
Speaker 1: a single anonymous source worth mentioning we have it.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and play it there, Michael.
Speaker 7: It's less than two weeks to go to election day
Speaker 7: and Vice President Kamala Harris is calling Donald Trump increasingly
Speaker 7: unhinged and unstable. That comes after the former president's own
Speaker 7: former chief of staff, John Kelly said on the record
Speaker 7: and on tape that Trump repeatedly praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 7: He also said his former boss fits the definition of
Speaker 7: a fascist. Kelly is a retired four star Marine general
Speaker 7: who also served as Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security.
Speaker 1: Oh dang it, it's the next sentence I think where
Speaker 1: she says and he used the F word when describing
Speaker 1: a Hispanic something or other.
Speaker 2: That's the part we need, Hansen. But wow, that was lead. Lead.
Speaker 1: The intro is repeating every hit piece talking point from
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, even though it incredibly thinly sourced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: repeating as fact all the October surprise stuff. Right, I
Speaker 1: didn't even news network. I hadn't even heard this F
Speaker 1: word one. I didn't know what I didn't know what
Speaker 1: she was talking about. And again then, and this is
Speaker 1: interesting about the voters because even I, as a guy
Speaker 1: who does this for a living, is like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: wonder what it is now, but wasn't interested enough to
Speaker 1: even stick around and find out because there's just so
Speaker 1: many of them all the time. It just like, I
Speaker 1: wonder what it is now, But it didn't move the
Speaker 1: needle on me. I wonder if moves the needle on
Speaker 1: anybody else. I actually assumed it was fag the slur
Speaker 1: for gay people when they said she said F word
Speaker 1: the way she put it in context, I didn't know
Speaker 1: what it was.
Speaker 2: But so wow, so you might be right. So it's
Speaker 2: gonna be go after this group with a story.
Speaker 1: This group is a story now that there'll be something
Speaker 1: about black men that he has said older against black
Speaker 1: men today, probably roughly three o'clock this afternoon. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's going to work.
Speaker 2: You know to that topic.
Speaker 1: Marina from San Diego dropped us a note mail bag
Speaker 1: at armstrong eddy dot com and said, you guys talk
Speaker 1: about the possible October surprise. Any day the Left could
Speaker 1: have a verified document showing Trump plans to sell off
Speaker 1: Alaskan Hawaii to Russia, and those of us would still
Speaker 1: vote for Trump because we would believe it was fake.
Speaker 1: After the past eight plus years of the Left crying wolf.
Speaker 1: If we wake up January twenty first and Trump is Hitler,
Speaker 1: my bad. That's quite a my bad, Marina, but I
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Great note.
Speaker 1: There is a lot to that you can't claim, Adam Schiff,
Speaker 1: I have the documentation this will end his presidency over
Speaker 1: and over and over again for a day about various things,
Speaker 1: much of it and just never panning out and expect
Speaker 1: people to believe some of this stuff. Here's an interesting
Speaker 1: place to land on the whole general Kelly fascist thing.
Speaker 1: As I was taking to Mark Alprin's round up yesterday afternoon,
Speaker 1: he said, he said, I know both of these guys,
Speaker 1: and I can't imagine either one of them. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine Kelly lying, said Mark Alprin about this, because I
Speaker 1: know what kind of guy is an honorable guy.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: I also can't imagine Trump saying this. It just doesn't
Speaker 1: fit with the way I know him, he said. He said,
Speaker 1: I realized those two things do those two things don't
Speaker 1: fit together. It's kind of impossibility, But he said, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine either one of these scenarios.
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump's tendency to praise hard asses for their hard ass
Speaker 1: ary is.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 1: I don't admire it exactly, but and sometimes that lapse
Speaker 1: into something that certainly appears to be praising dictators for
Speaker 1: a dictatorial behavior in ways that I would I find
Speaker 1: unconscionable honestly. But he's not praising the dictators per se.
Speaker 1: It's just that fairly pathetic schoolyard bully aspect of his
Speaker 1: personality getting out. But anyway, I's fair in love. In politics,
Speaker 1: the email I actually wanted to feature is this one
Speaker 1: from John Guys. Who's a threat to democracy? Not Kamala Harrison,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It's the American voter, The uneducated voter glancing
Speaker 1: at social media does not count as serious research. The
Speaker 1: identity voter voting based solely on immutable traits like skin color, sex,
Speaker 1: identity the party voter pick R or D, and vote
Speaker 1: only for those candidates. The pay me voter voting for
Speaker 1: the candidate that promises the most benefits from the public treasury.
Speaker 2: As long as we continue.
Speaker 1: Voting in these ways, we'll get leaders who are blindly
Speaker 1: loyal to party, promised to spend money we don't have
Speaker 1: in lack of common sense. If democracy fails, it won't
Speaker 1: because of a transitory leader who got elected by a
Speaker 1: frivolous electorate.
Speaker 2: It will be because too many of us vote like this,
Speaker 2: repeated like something that he said for that John, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Trump sitting around saying no, no, he
Speaker 1: had learned at some good things and going on off
Speaker 1: on a thing in a in a indelicate way that
Speaker 1: could really rub people the wrong way or allow sport.
Speaker 1: You know that doesn't surprise me. Actually, the effing Mexican thing.
Speaker 1: I doubt he said that.
Speaker 2: Right. I would agree, I and just from a self
Speaker 2: preservation standpoint of nothing else.
Speaker 1: And at some point, and this is back to your
Speaker 1: screed yesterday, which I agreed partly that it's a it's
Speaker 1: a binary choice, you get one or the other. I
Speaker 1: still am in favor of either not voting or voting
Speaker 1: third party as a protest vote.
Speaker 2: But anyway, but in terms of.
Speaker 1: Assuming you are going to vote for one or the other,
Speaker 1: if Trump said something horrible like that, and I found
Speaker 1: his foreign policy in an extremely dangerous world in the
Speaker 1: twenty first century to be markedly better than Kamala Harris's,
Speaker 1: I would have to put aside my disgust and vote
Speaker 1: for Trump. And if you see it differently, you would
Speaker 1: have to put aside your disgust or contempt for Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris or whatever and vote for her.
Speaker 2: It works both ways.
Speaker 1: But given the enormous stakes both economically you know, domestic policy,
Speaker 1: you know, freedom of speech and doctrination of the kids,
Speaker 1: and then into the geopolitics, which well could end humanity
Speaker 1: or lead to a nuclear holocaust or god knows what
Speaker 1: in the twenty first century, if he said something or
Speaker 1: she said something I found repugnant, and yet their policies
Speaker 1: I thought were much better crafted to guide us through
Speaker 1: these troubled times.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, come on, it's just not even
Speaker 2: a choice. Yeah. Oh, I was going to mention this
Speaker 2: before we take a break.
Speaker 1: Guys watching I remember what it was I was watching,
Speaker 1: But this journalist was talking about friends she has. She
Speaker 1: was explaining, Oh, it was the conversation of is there
Speaker 1: going to be a mental health crisis across this nation
Speaker 1: if Trump wins for half the country, and I think
Speaker 1: there is going to be. I would be if Trump wins,
Speaker 1: I will be shocked if my local University of California
Speaker 1: does not cancel classes the next day. If you can
Speaker 1: get a bet to bet people, because you're right, nothing,
Speaker 1: you know, we can't expect people to go to school
Speaker 1: or work on a on a day like today, there
Speaker 1: would be that sort of stuff happening all the time.
Speaker 1: To process the shock of recent events. Oh, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear because I know this happened. Remember we heard
Speaker 1: about this happening in San Francisco, Katie.
Speaker 2: Was it you that told us this?
Speaker 1: I think were they were having counselors on hand or
Speaker 1: told people you didn't have to go into work.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there were a couple of people that there are
Speaker 8: a couple of places that were actually holding counseling. I
Speaker 8: just remember all the coworkers that were super left crying
Speaker 8: and they all had safety pins on because apparently that
Speaker 8: was like the symbol that you stood with Hillary.
Speaker 2: Well, right, but that was all, yeah, just you ought
Speaker 2: to be wearing diapers.
Speaker 1: But that was all over the imagined ills of Trump,
Speaker 1: and Trump has, like, you know, gone way beyond that
Speaker 1: for these people. I mean, many of the things they
Speaker 1: were concerned about he did do or say. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be worse this time around, is my point. The
Speaker 1: people that are horrified by Trump, they aren't gonna people
Speaker 1: who go to work. They're being going to be crying.
Speaker 1: They're gonna need the coloring books, they're gonna need puppies,
Speaker 1: they're gonna need a week off there, all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff. But I heard this pundit say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have friends who who really believe the chipping away
Speaker 1: at gay marriage. I have gay married friends who believe
Speaker 1: the chipping away at gay marriage will continue and their
Speaker 1: union might be dissolved if Trump is reelected, and they're
Speaker 1: very concerned about this.
Speaker 2: And what was the other one?
Speaker 1: Oh, I have I have friends who believe the government
Speaker 1: is going to start monitoring your minstrel cycle for a
Speaker 1: nationwide ban on abortion, and they're concerned about that.
Speaker 2: And I just thought, Okay, well, then your friends are
Speaker 2: mentally ill. Yeah, friends are mentally ill. Dumb, really too participate.
Speaker 2: What you just.
Speaker 1: Announced was you have mentally ill friends or really dumb friends,
Speaker 1: friends who will believe anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know what's especially disappointing slash amazing about
Speaker 1: that is if I were a gay fella and I
Speaker 1: were married and some dators say to yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: have you heard about Project twenty twenty five and all
Speaker 1: in Trump PC He's gonna end gay marriage? I would
Speaker 1: be like, wait a minute, what And I would not
Speaker 1: show up to work the next two days to carefully
Speaker 1: research that that idea, that proposition, and then honestly, it
Speaker 1: would take about twenty minutes, and at the end of
Speaker 1: that twenty minutes, I would realize, oh no, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That's got zero chance of happening, and I
Speaker 1: would go back to being a happily married gay fella.
Speaker 1: So anybody who persists in running around flapping their hands
Speaker 1: believing that is I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: A dope.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I was trying to find maybe you have
Speaker 1: it handy, because I was just trying to balance this
Speaker 1: out with Trump's truths social post about John Kelly yesterday,
Speaker 1: which was awful. John Kelly is a low life and
Speaker 1: a bad general whose advice is in the White House.
Speaker 1: I no longer saw it, and I told him to
Speaker 1: move on. He's a low life and a bad general.
Speaker 1: Why you gotta say stuff like that? I mean, why
Speaker 1: why can't you childish?
Speaker 2: Idiotic?
Speaker 1: Why can't you just go with I deny everything that
Speaker 1: was said. John Kelly is a great patriot and a
Speaker 1: great you know, citizen of this country, and I was
Speaker 1: honored to have him as my chief of staff.
Speaker 2: But I did not say those things.
Speaker 1: That's what any normal person would say or even say, Hey,
Speaker 1: he served the country with honor as a military a general.
Speaker 1: We clashed repeatedly, and there was resentments between us working
Speaker 1: in the White House.
Speaker 2: But you know, there it is. It's a low life
Speaker 2: in a bad general. What what is that?
Speaker 1: Well, that's like when he was running against Ben Carson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard he wasn't that good a surgeon. I said,
Speaker 1: God's sake, this country on Earth deserves a hell of
Speaker 1: a lot better.
Speaker 2: It just made me laugh with that one. We've got
Speaker 2: Kay's headlines coming up. Stay here.
