1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: and Jaki and he Arms from the studio.

4
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: C Please in your.

5
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: The throat clearing you just heard was one Joe Getty.

6
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong here in the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.

7
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: Glad you didn't hear what I did right before that.

8
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: I'd like to clear out the whole system that you know,

9
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 3: Michael firing up to Mike's Prematureley.

10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Needed all the pipes reamed out. Oh yeah, And today

11
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: we're under the two legs of our general.

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Manager, Vans and Walls, super heavyweight squaring off in the

13
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Battle of.

14
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: The centre for the week. What a vice presidential debate?

15
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: The battle of the century.

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: Tell you what, I got a feeling just judging by

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: the pre show meeting, we're gonna hear some vehement disagreements

18
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: between the co hosts today. I thought the debate was

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: both unprecedentedly entertaining for a VP debate and also many

20
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: times more significant than any other VEEP debate in history.

21
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Cool.

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear why because I thought it

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: was insignificant and it's so tedious.

24
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I cannot hear another forty minutes about abortion. I just can't.

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: I just can't listen any more talk about abortion.

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: I realize the average woman in America gets three abortions

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: a year, sometimes more on a good year and sometimes

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: less if on a slow year, but abortions just constantly,

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: every couple of months. Every woman gets abortion. So that's

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: what we got to talk about it the whole time.

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: I know, we've been talking about abortion forty minutes, gentlemen,

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: but we need to move on to climate change, which

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: nobody freaking cares about.

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. And the constant non fact checking

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: fact checking.

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: I just I can't do you combine inconsequential with liberal

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: policies only and fact checking.

38
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Debates on one side? It makes me insane. Well see,

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: that's the difference between us. I enjoyed the hate. I

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: was reveling in the hatred. God Dans.

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: Plus, you have a life, you got kids, you got craziness.

42
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: I'm living the empty and pointless life of the empty nester.

43
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: So I had more than enough time to watch those

44
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: two go at it.

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: That's what I used to say before I had kids,

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: living the inconsequential life of the childless this weekend, I

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: planned to you're one of those cat ladies Jadie Vance's

48
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: talked about. I took a couple of took in a

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: couple of different round tables last night online if you

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: want good analysis. I don't know how cable news channels

51
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: stay afloat at all, because like the best one, I

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: go to the Dispatch, they have a great roundtable with

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: all their heavyweights there, and then Mark Alprin puts one

54
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: together with pundits on left, right and center and everything

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: like that, and they're way better than anything you get

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: on cable.

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, Mark Alpern's first comment was, I don't know

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: what to say. I don't, I don't.

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: I don't know why that the networks keep doing it.

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: The only the only excuse I can come up with

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: is they do it on purpose. And he was talking

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: about the un hidden and not even tried to hide

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: the bias that they bring to these things anymore.

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: It used to me somewhat subtle.

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: Now it's just we're here to debate the Republican, so

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: it's us two and you against the Republican.

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: Is everybody an agreement on that? M?

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I was just in the mood last night,

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: but I enjoyed it and that they utterly exposed themselves.

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: They made it clear to everyone in jd Vance in

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: case anybody had missed it, made it perfectly clear.

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: You said there'd be no fact checking. Now your quote

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: unquote fact checking me. Here are the facts. Uh, it was,

74
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it was just it was egregious, unmissible.

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I won't bog down the conversation with the question

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: I always ask, do they not know they're doing it?

77
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: Or are they just so deep and biased they they

78
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: actually just don't even notice, because that's what.

79
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Bias is really. Yeah. Yeah, the unconscious stuff is the

80
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: most powerful part of you.

81
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: You're just unaware of your year. Your worldview is so different.

82
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: But it's just amazing to me. Hey, y'all, you don't

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: notice that when it's walls turned to ask you a question,

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: you just asked the question. But when it's Dvance's turned,

85
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Vance's turn, you throw in a sentence that is a

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: fact in your mind that is disputable by many.

87
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: So what yeah?

88
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: All, yeah, you know what I struggle with and everybody

89
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: struggles with this. I've actually read about this in the past.

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: When you would like to say something harshly critical of

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: a woman, there is almost always an element of her

92
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: womanhood in the insult.

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: It's a female specific.

94
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: Epithet or or insult, whereas dudes are usually not always certainly,

95
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: but usually there's there are like gender neutral insults. But

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 3: if I was going to describe the obnoxious, smug Margaret

97
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: Brennan and the superior and utterly biased Noro O'Donnell.

98
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Joe used a word to describe.

99
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: One of the moderators that I'm telling you would get

100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: us fired behind the scenes.

101
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Mind, I don't. I don't recall that at all.

102
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: And so what I want to I want to fashion

103
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: the proper epithet, But as I treasure and respect women,

104
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to come off as sexist.

105
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll just call them.

106
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: Well, I can't call them jackasses because that is a

107
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: male reference, right, She asses Jenny's obnoxious, biased, smugged Jenny's

108
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: I will say this, I do want to play in entirety.

109
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: Tim Wallas's response to the you said you were the

110
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Tienman square masking her, but record show you weren't. His

111
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: explanation for that was one of the funniest things I've

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: ever seen in my life. And to Margaret Brennan's credit,

113
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: who I was angry at the entire debate. She followed

114
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: up and said, the question was why did you say

115
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: you were there when you weren't.

116
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Shed let him get off the hook with that rattling answer,

117
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: which I appreciated.

118
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: We'll have to play that later, having made a trip

119
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: to his boss's salad bar. Yeah, he tossed that for everybody,

120
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: but nobody was buying it. That's ridiculous. Another complaint, and

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: then we can get to your positive stuff. I suppose

122
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: when we go big at the bottom of the hour

123
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: with clips and everything like that. The amount of time

124
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: they spent on Israel Iran was way too little given

125
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: the what's going on right at the moment.

126
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: No China at all, No Ukraine in Russia? Are you

127
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: kidding me?

128
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: No COVID of course, even though that was the biggest

129
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: story of the last decade, because that would have been

130
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: really bad for Tim Walls.

131
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: There's a number of budgets, but plenty of abortion and

132
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: climate change. Glad we got that in there. You're so right.

133
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: Climate change just forget it, forget it, nobody cares. But

134
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: the abortion thing.

135
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: They make it seem like women get abortions with the

136
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: same frequency.

137
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: That they go to grocery stores. It's like at least

138
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: once a week. Uh, judging by the omnipresence of the issue,

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable.

140
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and once again the fact checkers, who weren't supposed

141
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: to fact check, were wrong about a major point that

142
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Tim Walls made around abortion and the law that they

143
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: had in Minnesota. But the fact checkers feel free to

144
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: weigh in even when they're wrong about the facts. But

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: you can get all that later. We should start the

146
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this

147
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: What the hell the heck is it? Wednesday, October second,

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: Your twenty twenty four life will not be a born

149
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: twenty four.

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: I'd say we are armstrong and getting we approve of

151
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: this program.

152
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: Let's begin that officially according the FCC rules or rags,

153
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: the show starts at Mark Governor.

154
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: You previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it only

155
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: later in your political career did you change your position?

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: Why?

157
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I set in that office with those Sandigog parents.

158
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: I've become friends with school shooters. I've seen it.

159
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Wow, that's an odd circle to run with assuming didn't

160
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: mean that, uh, and I believe the old coach miss

161
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: Folk there. Maybe another off putting thing was the number

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: of times I didn't agree with either candidate, which I

163
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: don't think has ever happened to me watching the debate before.

164
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: Like I didn't like JD's Bands's answer on the school

165
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: shootings thing at all. I don't agree with that at all.

166
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to turn schools into fortresses and have

167
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: endless drills and all that sort of stuff at all.

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: And then of course Walls blaming the guns, which is

169
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: just insane. Yeah. Yeah, So there were a number of

170
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: things like that.

171
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: Anyway, we got obviously plenty more on that, and who

172
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: knows what Israel might do today or tomorrow or next week.

173
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: I took in a ton of coverage on that yesterday.

174
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: I didn't see a single expert, like, not just like

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: cable news puntit, but foreign policy expert or military expert

176
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 2: who didn't think this is going to escalate dramatically. Not

177
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: one that there's a chance this is over. I think

178
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: there's an ability to cool.

179
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Not one.

180
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: Every single person said this is going further. Well, that's odd.

181
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: The president in the United States said, take the win.

182
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course he did. That's not as clay.

183
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was the biggest ballistic missile attack

184
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: in world history, in addition to the fact that each

185
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: one of those ballistic missiles had twelve hundred pounds of

186
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: TNT on it and would have leveled multiple buildings. If

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,479
Speaker 2: one had gotten through, it had killed hundreds, maybe thousands.

188
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 2: And will you talk about the war we'd be in then?

189
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: Holy crap?

190
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Take the win? Right?

191
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 2: Right? Worst president ever? Did he watch the debate or

192
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: was he already sound asleep dreaming of is on the

193
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: East coast?

194
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: It aired at nine o'clock. He was asleep four hours

195
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: before it started. He was dreaming of being shirtless on

196
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: the beach. Just two more days and I'll be back

197
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: on the beach laying in the sun. How does he

198
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: got Harry Legs? How does they bring up the dock

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: workers strike either? How does mailbag look? It's coming together?

200
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: It's fine, that's awesome.

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: We do have a lot of highlights from the debate

202
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: and punditry around man. I saw some people representing Israel

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: on various cable news channels.

204
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: They were hot yesterday.

205
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 6: We have a lot to get to ahead gentlemen on

206
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: many topics.

207
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, right, Darres Margaret reminding us that we need

208
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: to break.

209
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: Okay, our text line is four one five, two nine

210
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: five KFTC.

211
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: That's funny.

212
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what the ratings were for the

213
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: VP debate. I gotta believe by the end of it

214
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: there was freaking nobody watching. But both of their approval

215
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: ratings went up. According to CNN snappole, they both went

216
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: up like about a dozen points each.

217
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: E've an angry, nervous tim which doesn't surprise me.

218
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: I think if you had heard what an evil, awful

219
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: person he was, he came off it just kind of

220
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: a uh, somewhat ditzy, nice enough guy. And jad Vans

221
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: came off as obviously not evil and very smart and

222
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: so yeah, both their approval ratings went up.

223
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: That's funny.

224
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 3: I thought Walls constantly looked either a angry or b

225
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: about to crawl out of his skin with nerves.

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: He did not impart a sense of confidence to me.

227
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: He didn't your business. He definitely looked nervous. I suppose

228
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: it's a matter of taste whether that makes you dislike

229
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: someone or not.

230
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: And angry, just a seething seething with anger and hate.

231
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: It's terrible. It hard to watch. Had to avert my eyes.

232
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: He's your freedom loving quote of the day. I love

233
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: this from the great Thomas Soa. He said, along by

234
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 3: alert listener Steve. There's usually only a limited amount of

235
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: damage that can be done by dull or stupid people.

236
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: For creating a truly monumental disaster, you need people with

237
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: high IQs.

238
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh that is so true. Pretty good.

239
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: It's been a long running conversation on the show about

240
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: the Gulf, the difference between intelligence and wisdom. And you

241
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: can have somebody who's extremely bright but utterly lacking in

242
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: realism or wisdom understanding how human beings in the world work.

243
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe it gives you a hubris.

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: Also, you know you're smart, so you're more likely to

245
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: take a big bite or take a big swing or

246
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 2: whatever I mean, like the geniuses that put together the

247
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Iraq war.

248
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Right.

249
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Well that and you're much more effective in

250
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 3: going shit exactly the wrong direction. So between all of

251
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: those factors. Yeah, the great soul Man, you cannot read

252
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: him enough. Mailbag, Oh well, drop us note mail Bag

253
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Going with a smattering

254
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: of reactions to the debate and no particular order. Darren

255
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: and Seattle, just take a second to think about it.

256
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: Close your eyes and imagine JD. Van's debating Kamala would

257
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: be like the Yankees playing a little league team on

258
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: a little league field.

259
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: Why can't he just be the nominee not the only

260
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: person who expressed that sense. JD.

261
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: Vance clearly the best of the four Oh yeah, oh

262
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: by Miles, Bryan and Sacramento. I'm betting I'm not the

263
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: first with this thought, but this VP debate is more

264
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: presidential than any of the last dozen presidential debates. Why

265
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: can't our presidential candidates be this well spoken? Walls can

266
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: actually put together thoughts, and Vans is trying hard to

267
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: hit issues. Can we just make it a wash and

268
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: make the veeps the candidates?

269
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: And then how about just the stability of it? Did

270
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: you like that or not?

271
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: And then he signs off with f exclamation book, the

272
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: guttural cry of the frustrated voter. I fail you, brother,

273
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: TJ in the dang writes key Thoughts said to my

274
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: wife multiple times, I wish Vance was running for president.

275
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: Waltz was fine, seemed a bit nervous, won't move the

276
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: needle either way. I actually agree, and I'll explain in

277
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: a little bit.

278
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: But that was the first debate in a long time

279
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: that actually felt like a debate, actually answering some of

280
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: the questions, arguing important Democrat Republican differences, showing at least

281
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: some respect for each other, and explaining things so people

282
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: can understand.

283
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: I'll be voting for Trump. I can't wait for the

284
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: Trump Air to be over with.

285
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: At the same time, and then he says very nice

286
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: things about the whole crew here, the team, Michael Catie Hanson,

287
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: behind the scenes mostly and more.

288
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: Is there more?

289
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: I don't think there's more, seems like there should be.

290
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: Let's pretend there is old Joe from Dayton, Ohio. Not

291
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: that he's old, but he's a longtime correspondent and a

292
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: fine fellow. Last night I was watching my first VEEP

293
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: debate since ninety two, Quail Gore Stockdale, Who am I?

294
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Why am I here?

295
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: And I concur ninety minutes is too long. Nonetheless, I've

296
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: found it refreshing political opinions. Notwithstanding, I simply appreciated their

297
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: cordiality to weave viewers on each other. I would not

298
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: be adverse to them running again to each other as

299
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: Potus Macca make America civil again.

300
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you feel about the civility? Did you

301
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: like it? I did?

302
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: I absolutely did. I think both fellas tend to be

303
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: more civil. And also JD is smart enough to know

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: he had to counter the narrative that he's some sort

305
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: of maga demon from hell.

306
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Right, but he is.

307
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: I mean hell, We've talked to him for a very

308
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: long time. He's an extremely thoughtful in both senses of

309
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: the word person. But they both did a lot of

310
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: just a lot of complimenting each other with a variety

311
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: of things, or being polite more than I than we've

312
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: seen it debated in quite a few cycles, deliberately gentlemanly

313
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: in a way that used to be obligatory. I miss it,

314
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: Billy and Irvine. Let's see, let's ditch Trump and Harris

315
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: and elect these guys. But they have to switch Potus

316
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: and VP roles every four months. This will force them

317
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: to cooperate with themselves in both parties in the House

318
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: and Senate. Too bad, the Constitution wouldn't allow it. Yeah,

319
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: not even close.

320
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: But I like the idea. Let's be horrified at a

321
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Tim Walls presidency. Me too.

322
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: I am seriously I would be terrified Arizona Brandon right, so,

323
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: I thought jadvanced, absolutely brilliant. I had my doubts about

324
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: Trump choosing him as the VEEP candidate, but I have

325
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: to give him credit.

326
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: PS.

327
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: I would rather watch Roseanne Bard to a strip tease

328
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: than hear Jack talk about AI again. I don't know

329
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: why the somewhat zoftig and aged Roseanne Barr comes in

330
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: for a kicking and Jack.

331
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: I find Jack's AI screeds fascinating.

332
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: It's damn important whether you whether you want it to

333
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: be or not. Roseanne Barr, what an odd choice. And

334
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: we don't have time for this right now, but I

335
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: want to get to this in a little bit.

336
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: Loyal listener Robert, who has been in the midst of

337
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: a natural disaster, talking about what an enormous counterproductive pain

338
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: in the acid is when big time politicians show up.

339
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't doubt that a bit. So it's not

340
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: only not helpful, it's miserably unhelpful. Doesn't surprise me.

341
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: The dumbest thing we do around disasters is decide governors

342
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: need to put on some sort of barn coat and

343
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 2: act like they're in charge in presidents whatever.

344
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: More on the debate and some of the analysis from

345
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: smart people stay.

346
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 7: With us, Armstrong and Getty should.

347
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: We got a lot for you today and a bunch

348
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: of different things. Some things learned yesterday about the doc

349
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: strike that are super interesting. Got that guy who's the

350
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 2: head dude for the union who talks so tough they

351
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: ever gave an ass about us until now. Guy makes

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: seven hundred grand a year plus benefits, and the benefits

353
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: add up to a hell of a lot. So he

354
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: actually makes a lot more money than that. Drives a Bentley,

355
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: has a yacht.

356
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

357
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

358
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: And the doc worker they don't do like, no care

359
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: about us work guys.

360
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 3: Well, and you may recall from yesterday's show we pointed

361
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: out that he'd been investigated for mob ties. Some details

362
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: of that trial because it actually went to trial, including

363
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: the fact that one of the defendants disappeared mid trial

364
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: and was later found in a shallow gray Really no.

365
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: Mob involvement at all here, nothing to see. Wow, I

366
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: hadn't heard that. Oh, this guy is straight out of

367
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: you the Godfather, goodfellas you name it.

368
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: Also, we got to check in on Iran Israel that

369
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: whole thing that could explode into like a major major

370
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: people talk about it years from now war at any moment,

371
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: So we've got that coming up a little bit later.

372
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: And then you had the vice presidential debate last night,

373
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: which Joe believes is interesting and consequential. I believe is

374
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: not consequential and only made me sad and angry.

375
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: Well, I certainly won't debate that last part, although I

376
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: found it fairly entertaining at least for the first hour.

377
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: So I can't stick with those things much more than

378
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: an hour.

379
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: And it's funny how often the big singer, the big

380
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: haymaker is lneded, like in the last five minutes.

381
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: Well, that's fine.

382
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: I've heard from a number of people, including people on

383
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: the right who are being fair that the last answer

384
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: Vance gave on January sixth, with his worst moment. Well,

385
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: the saving grace for that would be if it's true

386
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: and I didn't see the end, is nobody watched it.

387
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Nobody saw the end, so he's safe there. It was

388
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: just him and the moderators and Tim Walls and their

389
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: wives the only people that are aware that that happened.

390
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 2: So here is my very brief take on why I

391
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: think it's going to be much much more consequential than

392
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: any VEEP debate in history. And that is because you

393
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: have two unpopular presidential candidates who seem to have topped

394
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 2: out their appeal and seem unable to do.

395
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: Anything about moving the needle. Just their last efforts have

396
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: been floundering. Kamala's honeymoon is over and people have woken

397
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: up to the fact that she's an empty headed puppet.

398
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: And Trump just finds it completely impossible to be appealing

399
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: to anybody but those who already love him. So you

400
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: have a highly unhappy electorate thinking all right, which way

401
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: do I go on this? And you had the extremely

402
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: articulate and intelligent jd.

403
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: Vance.

404
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: Unless you find, you know, whatever policies he's advocating abhorrent.

405
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Then you're not going to vote for him anyway.

406
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 3: And you had Coach Walls, who came off as the

407
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: self effacing midwesterner who we've been introduced to, but he

408
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: also came off as a nervous, angry, stumbling guy who

409
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: wasn't near ready for the awesome powers of the presidency.

410
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: People came away from that debate thinking that guy crazy sharp,

411
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: that guy not so much absolutely could be a couple

412
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: of percent in the Swing States.

413
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: We'll see.

414
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: Luckily they take a poll on November fifth and we

415
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: get a chance to find out. So here's the highlight

416
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: of the debate to me, and it's incompletely inconsequential. I

417
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: think the exchange other than it's just the worst job

418
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: of lying I've ever seen. So here's the original lie

419
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: that sets it up. Tim Wall's interview from twenty nineteen.

420
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: This guy's a fabulous every topic he makes a little

421
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: better than was real, His jobs, whatever, everything.

422
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: When did you live in China.

423
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: About late eighties?

424
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know I was there.

425
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 5: I see this happening in Hong Kong. As a more

426
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: serious note, I was in Hong Kong on June fourth,

427
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty nine, when of course Tanneman Square appened. Then

428
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 5: I was in China after that. It was very strange

429
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: because of course all outside transmissions were blocked Voice of America.

430
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 5: I mean there was no phones or email or anything,

431
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 5: so I was kind of out of touch. It took

432
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: me a month to know the Berlin Wall had fallen

433
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: when I was slipping there.

434
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: Wow.

435
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: So what's interesting about that, having never heard that before,

436
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: is there's way more detail there.

437
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: That I was aware.

438
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 2: So it's a little hard for it to be just

439
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: a All of us are stories of thirty years ago

440
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: or wrong. All of us, every human being on earth,

441
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: are stories of what happened thirty forty years ago or

442
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: wrong because of just the way the human mind works.

443
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: I thought maybe he might add to some of that

444
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: drift or whatever. But he had a lot of detail

445
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: in there what it was like while he was there,

446
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: and he wasn't there right exactly, and again inconsequential, but

447
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: it fits his patterns. So you have not just Margaret

448
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: Brennan asked him about that.

449
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: We want to ask you about your leadership qualities. Governor Walls,

450
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 6: you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly

451
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 6: Tianeman Square protests in the spring of nineteen eighty nine,

452
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 6: but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting

453
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 6: that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of

454
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 6: that year. Can you explain that discrepancy?

455
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and to the folks out there, did get

456
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: at the top of this look.

457
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: I grew up in small rural Nebraska town of four

458
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 4: hundred town that you rode your bike with your buddy

459
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: still the street lights come on and I'm proud of

460
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 4: that service. I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked

461
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 4: on family farms, and then I use the GI Bill

462
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: to become a teacher, passionate about it a young teacher.

463
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 4: My first year out, I got the opportunity in the

464
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: summer of eighty nine to travel to China thirty five

465
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: years ago. Be able to do that, I came back

466
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 4: home and then started a program to take young people there.

467
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: We would take basketball teams, we would take baseball teams,

468
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: we would take dancers, and we would go back and

469
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 4: forth to China. The issue for that was was to

470
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 4: try and learn. Now, look, my community knows who I am.

471
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 4: They saw where I was at.

472
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: They look.

473
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 4: I will be the first to tell you I have

474
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 4: poured my heart into my community. I've tried to do

475
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 4: the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and

476
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: I'm a knucklehead at times. But it's always been about that.

477
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: Those same people elected me to Congress.

478
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh wow, holy cow, you need a road map and

479
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: a navigation system for that.

480
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: And then to Margaret Brennan's credit, and I was so

481
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: angry at her by that point in the debate, but

482
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: she followed up.

483
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 6: Governor just to follow up on that, The question was,

484
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 6: can you explain they All.

485
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 4: I said on this was is I got there that

486
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 4: summer and misspoke on this, so I will just that's

487
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: what I've said.

488
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: So I was in.

489
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in

490
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: and from that I learned a lot of what needed

491
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 4: to be in governance.

492
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 6: Thank you, governor.

493
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: Wow, that was just a train record.

494
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: I liked in his first answer how he essentially went

495
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: with I grew up middle class. That's the official campaign

496
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: answered everything, And my favorite part was I grew up

497
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: in a town where you'd ride your bike until the

498
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: street lights came on.

499
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of that service.

500
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: What I've actually got the quote a friend sent to

501
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: me the entire thing in print, So it's kind of funny.

502
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: Oh yes, the first part your answer to you claimed

503
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: you're at Tinaman Square, one of the biggest events of

504
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: the latter half of the twentieth century.

505
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: You claimed you were there. You were clearly not what Gibbs. Look,

506
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: I grew up in a small, rural Nebraska town already.

507
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: What what? Yeah? So take that, Margaret, I mean, that's

508
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: way worse than his boss Kamala's you know, explain your

509
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: economic policy.

510
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: Look, I came from a middle class family. You could

511
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: at least kind of think that might be going toward

512
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: the answer.

513
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: There's no way I grew up in a small rural

514
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: Nebraska town has anything to do with the answer for

515
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: why you claimed you're at Tinaman Square when you weren't. Look,

516
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: I grew up in a small rural Nebraska town, a

517
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: town that you rode your bike with your buddies till

518
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: the street lights come on.

519
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of that service.

520
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: You know, I never felt like I was providing a

521
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: service as I did that very thing in the Midwest.

522
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: But if you'd like to thank me, that'd be fine.

523
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: And I loved that so much.

524
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: Margaret Brennan Edson's the follow up, and he says, and

525
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: so yeah, and I said that, and so that's what

526
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: I've said. And then there's just silence as everybody's got

527
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: that weird because you've probably been in this situation before

528
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: where somebody's busted, and like everybody's okay with just leaving

529
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: it there because we all know what happened and going

530
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: any further would be uncomfortable.

531
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's waiting for everybody else to say something

532
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 3: so that the silence.

533
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: Is so uncomfortable it's broken to be fair.

534
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: Now, he said he was in Hong Kong during the

535
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: protests and then went into China when he was in

536
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 3: Nebraska during the protests.

537
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 4: Okay, I got Nebraska town of four hundred town that

538
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 4: you rode your bike with your buddy. Still the street

539
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: lights come on, and I'm proud of that service.

540
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, a great full nation, Thanks you.

541
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: I joined the National Guard at seventeen, worked on family farms,

542
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: and then used the GIL become a teacher. Okay, again,

543
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: did you say you were in China when you weren't.

544
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: What's especially hot about that is if he said, yeah,

545
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: it was so long ago.

546
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: I got the month wrong, but yeah, it was right

547
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: after the TM men's score stuff that I went, Is

548
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 2: that then we're done?

549
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, yeah.

550
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: I was watching the Dispatch podcast on that later and

551
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: Kevin Williamson of the Dispatch said, you kind of answered

552
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: that in two sentences.

553
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: Yes, I got it wrong. I don't know how my

554
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: memory is wrong about that, but I just had it

555
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: turned around somehow the end.

556
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: What are you gonna say? Funny how memories that all

557
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 3: get hazy? But yeah, it turns out was a couple

558
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: weeks after. Anyway, what I want to talk about is

559
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: the economy.

560
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: Come on, I came back home, and I came back

561
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: home and then started a program to take young people there.

562
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: We would take basketball teams, well and sort.

563
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Of young people. And does it include dancers? That's my question.

564
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: We would take basketball teams, we would take dancers, and

565
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 2: we would go back and forth to China for some reason.

566
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Oh, which is kind of funny.

567
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: I'm a knucklehead of as I make up stories about

568
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: major historic events that I claim to have been a

569
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: part of, like Forrest Gump, and then it turns out

570
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: you get caught because there's records of that.

571
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: So I'm a knucklehead.

572
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: And then I stammer and go down verbal cul de

573
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 3: sacs for about sixty seconds until uncomfortable silence takes over

574
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: the room.

575
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm Tim Walls, and I have this message.

576
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, play play seventy three again just because it's so

577
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: uncomfortably good.

578
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it.

579
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 5: Governor.

580
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 6: Just to follow up on that, the question was can

581
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 6: you explain theancy?

582
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: All I said on this was is I got there

583
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 4: that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just

584
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: that's what I've said.

585
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: So I was in.

586
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in

587
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 4: and from that I learned a lot of what needed

588
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 4: to be in governance.

589
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 6: Thank you, governor.

590
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: It reminds me of sometimes when when somebody's in too

591
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: big a hurry editing tape and they believe in sentence

592
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: fragments that they'd.

593
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Meant to cut out and all there was.

594
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: There's a handful of words in there that I'm not

595
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: sure what relationship they had to the other words.

596
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: He actually actually, if he had have begun with his

597
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: ending without the pauses, he would have been in a

598
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: lot more decent shape. Boy, I've got more punditry to

599
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: get on this. Let me read one more thing before

600
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: we head toward our break, because you'll like this, as

601
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: I did not get as much out of this as

602
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: you did. Joe Klein, who was on one of your

603
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: cable news channels, he's a super lefty. He was involved

604
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: in the Clinton administration or back then. He it doesn't matter.

605
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: He's a big time Democrat journalist, couldn't hate Donald Trump.

606
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: And JD vancemore open about it on all the cable

607
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 2: news channels last night, said it wasn't as bad as

608
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: Biden's debilitated performance in June, but it was close, yeah,

609
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: which remember that drove Biden out of the race.

610
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So happened to get this note from Jeff.

611
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: I just shut off the veep debate. Jd Vance was

612
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: correcting the moderator's fact check, which they swore they weren't

613
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 3: going to do, and they cut his mic and done

614
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: with this BS TV off. CBS continues to I can't

615
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: say that on the air, Jeff.

616
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: We will. We will demonstrate for you what he's talking about.

617
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: The outrageous bias of CBS rearing its pretty well coughed

618
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: head next hour. I hope you can stay tuned. Quick

619
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: word from our friends.

620
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 6: In America to get ahead, I know on many topics.

621
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: That's why I'm trying to go to the commercial Margaret

622
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: or Nora but yelling at me. So, the federal reserves

623
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: dropped interest rates, and you need to call our friends

624
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: at American Financing today. With mortgage rates and the force,

625
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,960

626
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: your monthly expenses.

627
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: So a lot of people been using.

628
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: Credit cards because of the prices at the grocery store

629
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: and gas and power and childcare. That debt is super

630
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: expensive with credit card rates being so high, but with

631
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: mortgage rates dropping, now's the time to wipe that debt out.

632
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,000

650
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: to back interviews with Harrison Trump. But Trump the headline

651
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: last night came out that he had backed out of

652
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: the sixty minutes debate with no explanation.

653
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,400

Speaker 1: So I don't know which is which.

655

00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: if you just just pissed off at CBS.

659
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,320
