<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the

0:00:11.940 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

0:00:16.340 --> 0:00:17.660
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:17.860 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>And now, here's Armstrong and Getty.

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:34.530
<v Speaker 2>I don't think my hat matches my jacket. That's not good. Live,

0:00:34.700 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>live from Studio C.

0:00:37.860 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>A dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the

0:00:40.460 --> 0:00:43.860
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And hey, today, two weeks

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>from the midterm elections. I'll be glad when they're over

0:00:45.979 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>so I don't have to hear about them anymore. We're

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.580
<v Speaker 2>under the tutelage of the title of this show.

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:55.590
<v Speaker 3>A great sports rivalry returns. Milwaukee versus Tampa Bay. Or

0:00:56.790 --> 0:01:00.810
<v Speaker 3>if you prefer our second headline... Title, are you looking

0:01:00.870 --> 0:01:03.390
<v Speaker 3>for something both ugly and stupid?

0:01:03.690 --> 0:01:09.410
<v Speaker 2>Try politics. Yeah, the Tampa Bay Rays' best record in

0:01:09.430 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the American League. Take on the Milwaukee Brewers, the best

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>record in the National League. 162 games. They won the

0:01:16.980 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>most in their respective leagues, and they're going to play

0:01:19.500 --> 0:01:22.660
<v Speaker 2>each other in the World Series. Probably record low ratings,

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.620
<v Speaker 2>which is too bad, because it's pretty good baseball.

0:01:26.790 --> 0:01:28.630
<v Speaker 1>I would say great fun teams to watch.

0:01:28.709 --> 0:01:30.650
<v Speaker 2>If you want to talk about sports, the bee that's

0:01:30.670 --> 0:01:32.350
<v Speaker 2>in my bonnet, I can't believe I never got to

0:01:32.370 --> 0:01:34.410
<v Speaker 2>this yesterday because I was angry about it all weekend.

0:01:35.010 --> 0:01:35.569
<v Speaker 2>Now it's happened twice.

0:01:35.590 --> 0:01:37.570
<v Speaker 1>Your unmatching bonnet, by the way.

0:01:37.590 --> 0:01:40.330
<v Speaker 2>My bonnet does not match in my blouse. I've never

0:01:40.350 --> 0:01:44.030
<v Speaker 2>said the word blouse before, I don't think. I'm wearing

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.140
<v Speaker 2>a sport coat and a hat that does not match it.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.380
<v Speaker 2>Game two of the WNBA finals last night, and for

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the second game in a row, both teams walked off

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>the court for the national anthem. Both teams walking completely

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.470
<v Speaker 2>off the court into the locker room for the National Anthem.

0:02:00.490 --> 0:02:02.590
<v Speaker 2>They may come back when it's over. Two games in

0:02:02.650 --> 0:02:06.690
<v Speaker 2>a row. The finals of the WNBA. The DEI League.

0:02:06.770 --> 0:02:11.430
<v Speaker 2>The league that thinks we owe them having that league.

0:02:12.410 --> 0:02:14.780
<v Speaker 2>Regardless of what they do or how low the ratings

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.700
<v Speaker 2>are or how much money they lose.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Or how racist they are or anything else.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 2>It's 100% subsidized by the, not 100%, but it's 100% true.

0:02:25.940 --> 0:02:30.589
<v Speaker 2>The only reason it exists is the subsidy of the NBA.

0:02:31.100 --> 0:02:34.390
<v Speaker 2>If the NBA didn't subsidize it, it would go away today.

0:02:35.010 --> 0:02:38.790
<v Speaker 2>Yet they think they're entitled enough. that they can walk

0:02:38.850 --> 0:02:40.730
<v Speaker 2>off the court for the national anthem and the fans

0:02:40.770 --> 0:02:42.310
<v Speaker 2>will just have to put up with it. And we'll

0:02:42.330 --> 0:02:44.169
<v Speaker 2>still get to play basketball for lots of money.

0:02:44.650 --> 0:02:44.770
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.380
<v Speaker 3>They're a bunch of woke America haters. They absolutely are, including,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>in many cases, the ownership. I have this on good authority.

0:02:52.820 --> 0:02:55.980
<v Speaker 3>I cannot divulge more. But, yeah, it is a DEI

0:02:56.040 --> 0:03:01.530
<v Speaker 3>league full of, you know, neo-Marxist, critical theory-loving activists.

0:03:01.850 --> 0:03:04.370
<v Speaker 2>But to take it to the level of you think

0:03:04.430 --> 0:03:07.690
<v Speaker 2>you can do anything and you still get to exist.

0:03:08.250 --> 0:03:11.230
<v Speaker 2>I think the NBA is in a tough situation now.

0:03:11.530 --> 0:03:15.690
<v Speaker 2>They're probably grandfathered in. by wokeness to where they can't

0:03:15.790 --> 0:03:17.889
<v Speaker 2>ever pull the plug on the damn thing, no matter

0:03:17.950 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>how much money it loses because of the blowback. They

0:03:22.220 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>probably figure out what it costs us in blowback. We'll

0:03:25.139 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>just eat that money.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.260
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right.

0:03:27.419 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a great illustration, though, of when the normal incentives

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.049
<v Speaker 3>of the marketplace are removed and you go with DEI,

0:03:34.970 --> 0:03:35.570
<v Speaker 3>what happens?

0:03:35.730 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Because the players... can't be.

0:03:38.060 --> 0:03:41.590
<v Speaker 3>Compelled to, hey, you're going to run off our fan base.

0:03:41.970 --> 0:03:44.790
<v Speaker 3>You can't crap on the American flag, in effect, or

0:03:45.110 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 3>send the unmistakable message, I'm not a patriot. In fact,

0:03:48.820 --> 0:03:51.490
<v Speaker 3>I think this country's evil, and it stinks. And I'd

0:03:51.530 --> 0:03:54.050
<v Speaker 3>love to see it overthrown. You can't send that message.

0:03:53.770 --> 0:03:56.510
<v Speaker 1>Over and over. We're running a business here.

0:03:56.850 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 3>But they're not. They're running a DEI department. So the

0:04:00.750 --> 0:04:01.970
<v Speaker 3>most woke rules.

0:04:02.410 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Not just one player getting lots of attention for kneeling

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 2>during the national anthem. The entire team, both teams, in

0:04:11.220 --> 0:04:12.500
<v Speaker 2>the finals of their sport.

0:04:13.260 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:04:14.750 --> 0:04:19.210
<v Speaker 3>I remember that from various NBA, especially, I guess, back

0:04:19.230 --> 0:04:21.390
<v Speaker 3>in the day when we were closer to the woke apocalypse,

0:04:22.150 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 3>that that was the compromise. Look, are we going to

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.140
<v Speaker 3>have half of our guys kneel and half of our

0:04:27.180 --> 0:04:29.740
<v Speaker 3>guys standing proudly gazing at the flag with their hand

0:04:29.779 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 3>over their heart, or do we just go to.

0:04:31.380 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>The locker room? And they said, we'll just go to

0:04:33.060 --> 0:04:33.580
<v Speaker 1>the locker room.

0:04:34.089 --> 0:04:38.210
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the inaction speaks louder than words. The reason

0:04:38.230 --> 0:04:40.109
<v Speaker 3>they're going to the locker room, I guess, is to

0:04:40.150 --> 0:04:42.130
<v Speaker 3>get around the rules. The league has rules.

0:04:42.390 --> 0:04:48.770
<v Speaker 2>You're required to stand in an appropriate manner quietly for

0:04:48.810 --> 0:04:52.210
<v Speaker 2>the national anthem. That's in the rule book of the WNBA,

0:04:52.290 --> 0:04:54.969
<v Speaker 2>all players. So I guess they feel like they're getting

0:04:55.130 --> 0:04:57.070
<v Speaker 2>around it by, we're not on the court, so we

0:04:57.100 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>don't have to. I don't know why anybody would support

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>that league.

0:05:03.500 --> 0:05:03.580
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:04.660
<v Speaker 1>Screw them.

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Luckily, few people do.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:07.940 --> 0:05:10.540
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's more popular than it's ever been, partially because

0:05:10.620 --> 0:05:15.570
<v Speaker 2>of Caitlin Clark, who they abuse and in all kinds

0:05:15.610 --> 0:05:18.510
<v Speaker 2>of different ways. But yeah, it's nutty. You're right. When

0:05:18.529 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you take away the normal incentives... Imagine how lots of

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.740
<v Speaker 2>businesses would act if they didn't. NPR might be a

0:05:24.750 --> 0:05:27.410
<v Speaker 2>good example. Imagine how lots of businesses would act if

0:05:27.430 --> 0:05:29.490
<v Speaker 2>they don't actually have to worry about making a profit.

0:05:30.029 --> 0:05:31.430
<v Speaker 1>Let's ask Colin Kaepernick.

0:05:31.870 --> 0:05:34.530
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Colin, given the choice between a player with a

0:05:34.670 --> 0:05:39.330
<v Speaker 3>skill set of, say, X who angers three-quarters of the

0:05:39.380 --> 0:05:41.820
<v Speaker 3>fan base and a player with skill set X who

0:05:42.020 --> 0:05:44.620
<v Speaker 3>doesn't anger the fan base, who do you reckon you're

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 3>going to hire?

0:05:45.300 --> 0:05:46.500
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet Colin could tell us.

0:05:49.060 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>And we got this text, and we bailed Brittany Griner

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:51.799
<v Speaker 2>out of Russia.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.900
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah. No kidding. In line before real American patriots

0:05:56.940 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and innocents.

0:05:59.580 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it's like for y'all. I don't

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.230
<v Speaker 2>know if it's age or it's this job, but I

0:06:07.390 --> 0:06:13.350
<v Speaker 2>just can't take in this midterm election stuff. The same

0:06:13.430 --> 0:06:16.050
<v Speaker 2>speeches I've heard my entire life.

0:06:16.740 --> 0:06:21.810
<v Speaker 3>I'm fascinated by it. It's so interesting. Every single two years,

0:06:21.870 --> 0:06:26.290
<v Speaker 3>you get the same flippin' speeches. I like some of

0:06:26.330 --> 0:06:29.289
<v Speaker 3>the dynamics of what people said in the past about

0:06:29.330 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 3>each other who are now campaigning together, like old Islamist

0:06:34.500 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 3>Al-Sayed and Obama. He was a harsh, bitter Obama critic

0:06:38.500 --> 0:06:41.099
<v Speaker 3>for a long time, including recently. But they'll be on

0:06:41.140 --> 0:06:44.650
<v Speaker 3>stage together tonight, I think. I don't think long line

0:06:44.670 --> 0:06:44.950
<v Speaker 3>of that.

0:06:44.890 --> 0:06:45.190
<v Speaker 1>Sort of thing.

0:06:45.310 --> 0:06:47.550
<v Speaker 2>So are we back to our conversation of last week?

0:06:47.630 --> 0:06:49.870
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't think any of this stuff has an

0:06:49.910 --> 0:06:53.609
<v Speaker 2>effect on like anybody I know, really, in the way

0:06:53.650 --> 0:06:56.169
<v Speaker 2>they're going to vote. So is all of this noise

0:06:56.550 --> 0:07:01.300
<v Speaker 2>just for that crowd that barely pays attention, hoping it

0:07:01.330 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>will seep through to them somehow and sway that and

0:07:04.700 --> 0:07:06.180
<v Speaker 2>turn out and turn out?

0:07:06.670 --> 0:07:09.790
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, because the vast majority of voters, or at

0:07:09.830 --> 0:07:13.270
<v Speaker 3>least a pretty good plurality of them, have no idea

0:07:13.300 --> 0:07:17.460
<v Speaker 3>what they're talking about and are as likely to vote

0:07:17.580 --> 0:07:20.180
<v Speaker 3>as they are to eat pork tonight.

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>It might happen.

0:07:22.380 --> 0:07:24.940
<v Speaker 3>And so you desperately try to get them motivated to

0:07:24.980 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 3>show up.

0:07:25.580 --> 0:07:28.300
<v Speaker 1>So that's what a lot of it is, these rallies. Wow.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:30.910 --> 0:07:35.460
<v Speaker 2>I also have no idea where this whole supporting Russia

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.300
<v Speaker 2>or not story is going or landing with most Republicans.

0:07:40.900 --> 0:07:42.890
<v Speaker 2>It's not what I want to be true, but I'm

0:07:43.130 --> 0:07:47.810
<v Speaker 2>not sure most Republican voters care about the whole Ukraine

0:07:47.830 --> 0:07:48.490
<v Speaker 2>thing very much.

0:07:50.290 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd love to see those numbers. I would, too.

0:07:54.290 --> 0:07:57.030
<v Speaker 3>It's not at the top of the list, I would say,

0:07:57.070 --> 0:07:58.970
<v Speaker 3>of things people are critically interested in.

0:07:58.970 --> 0:08:01.860
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it ranks in the top five, maybe

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.460
<v Speaker 2>not in the top ten. I don't know. I'd like

0:08:04.500 --> 0:08:06.980
<v Speaker 2>to see some polling also. I just don't think it matters,

0:08:07.020 --> 0:08:11.580
<v Speaker 2>and Trump probably senses that. Now, why you have to

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.940
<v Speaker 2>get on board with Russia, I do not know. Zelensky's

0:08:15.980 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>going further and further in the things that he says.

0:08:19.570 --> 0:08:22.470
<v Speaker 2>And Trump is reacting the way Trump reacts when he

0:08:22.510 --> 0:08:25.050
<v Speaker 2>feels like he's been slighted. And so that divide is

0:08:25.170 --> 0:08:27.790
<v Speaker 2>growing on a day-by-day basis. We'll have to play the

0:08:27.830 --> 0:08:33.930
<v Speaker 2>latest clips later in the show. But I don't know.

0:08:34.350 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>The idea that Zelensky wants this war to continue, wants

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>these deaths, etc., etc.

0:08:41.580 --> 0:08:42.540
<v Speaker 1>is just absurd.

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>It is absurd.

0:08:44.340 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, he wants the war to continue if the alternative

0:08:46.740 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>is capitulation to Russia and the inevitable slaughter that would result.

0:08:51.100 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 2>We did get one text yesterday. It was, I guess

0:08:53.179 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>you guys want hundreds of more thousands of people to die.

0:08:58.500 --> 0:09:01.020
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting way to look at it in that.

0:09:01.780 --> 0:09:06.270
<v Speaker 2>So if we hadn't invaded Europe in World War II

0:09:06.350 --> 0:09:10.229
<v Speaker 2>in June of 44, fewer people would have died if

0:09:10.270 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 2>you let Germany have Europe. I mean, isn't that analogy perfect?

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.330
<v Speaker 2>You're saying let the aggressor have the land so there

0:09:19.370 --> 0:09:21.650
<v Speaker 2>are no more deaths. Isn't that what you're saying?

0:09:22.350 --> 0:09:24.730
<v Speaker 1>Don't defend your country. Don't defend your family. No, let

0:09:24.750 --> 0:09:25.150
<v Speaker 1>them have it.

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:30.950
<v Speaker 3>Whoever gets meanest first gets everything in their worldview. Or,

0:09:31.170 --> 0:09:33.339
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's an argument of ignorance. I don't even

0:09:33.380 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 3>feel like casting my pearls before that swine. It's a

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.140
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous argument. It ignores all of history. It ignores Russia.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 3>It ignores Russian policy. It ignores their recent activity. Not

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:51.460
<v Speaker 3>to mention, it rewards violent adventurism just after we'd finally gotten.

0:09:51.270 --> 0:09:54.570
<v Speaker 1>Rid of that for a little bit. How many lives is.

0:09:54.809 --> 0:09:57.829
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my why am I arguing with somebody with a

0:09:57.910 --> 0:09:58.850
<v Speaker 3>position that simple?

0:09:58.870 --> 0:10:00.910
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, that's not just a texture. That

0:10:01.010 --> 0:10:05.220
<v Speaker 2>is Trump's position. That is the position of, you know,

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>basically the position of the Republican Party right now. The

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 2>leader of the Republican Party.

0:10:11.340 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that.

0:10:14.460 --> 0:10:15.939
<v Speaker 2>I just want the killing to stop.

0:10:16.470 --> 0:10:19.929
<v Speaker 3>You're going to see much, much more public splits very,

0:10:19.980 --> 0:10:23.220
<v Speaker 3>very soon, maybe the day after the midterm with Trump

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:29.740
<v Speaker 3>on Ukraine policy in particular and other things, too. The

0:10:29.780 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 3>last two years of his second term, if he survives

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.900
<v Speaker 3>that long, he's old as the hills, is going to

0:10:34.940 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>be tumultuous.

0:10:39.140 --> 0:10:40.980
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so here's where we are with the opening clip

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>to start the show officially, which we need to do.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:47.090
<v Speaker 2>It's a Greg Gutfeld joke. which we're trying to predict

0:10:47.210 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 2>just how far he's going to go given the target

0:10:50.340 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>of this joke.

0:10:51.900 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Would you like me to repeat what I said in

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 3>the pre-show meeting? So the joke involves Greta Thunberg, and

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:02.350
<v Speaker 3>Joe said... I said, what's the punchline? That she's ugly, fat,

0:11:02.490 --> 0:11:05.030
<v Speaker 3>and nobody can ever love her? Or a combination of

0:11:05.070 --> 0:11:09.310
<v Speaker 3>those things. And Michael said essentially....

0:11:11.610 --> 0:11:13.630
<v Speaker 2>Greg Kudfeld is willing to say some really mean things,

0:11:13.650 --> 0:11:16.010
<v Speaker 2>so let's do that. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.

0:11:16.070 --> 0:11:19.390
<v Speaker 2>On this, it is Tuesday, October 20th of the year 2026.

0:11:19.390 --> 0:11:22.010
<v Speaker 2>We're Armstrong and Getty, and we approve of this program.

0:11:22.550 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Let's begin the show officially, then, according to FCC rules

0:11:25.100 --> 0:11:26.900
<v Speaker 3>and regulations. Here we go at Mark.

0:11:27.220 --> 0:11:30.959
<v Speaker 4>Greta Thunberg has found a new cause supporting the riots

0:11:31.020 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 4>in France, although she still hasn't succeeded in her most

0:11:34.660 --> 0:11:37.710
<v Speaker 4>urgent crusade, which is to find someone who will finally.

0:11:39.220 --> 0:11:46.860
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:11:46.940 --> 0:11:47.900
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry.

0:11:50.660 --> 0:11:53.429
<v Speaker 3>I realize I look like a dog who's heard an

0:11:53.510 --> 0:11:55.300
<v Speaker 3>odd noise and is trying to identify it.

0:11:56.429 --> 0:11:57.330
<v Speaker 1>What the hell?

0:11:57.350 --> 0:11:58.750
<v Speaker 2>That was close to what you guessed.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.370
<v Speaker 1>What the hell? That's exactly what I guessed.

0:12:03.130 --> 0:12:04.830
<v Speaker 2>What a mean thing to say to a young woman.

0:12:04.890 --> 0:12:05.710
<v Speaker 2>He just spilled it.

0:12:05.790 --> 0:12:08.850
<v Speaker 1>All down into describing her as essentially unlayable.

0:12:09.170 --> 0:12:10.949
<v Speaker 2>That's among the worst things you could say to a

0:12:10.970 --> 0:12:13.570
<v Speaker 2>young woman, isn't it, Katie? Doesn't that rank right up there?

0:12:13.830 --> 0:12:17.710
<v Speaker 2>It's top three. Nobody would ever have sex with you? Yeah.

0:12:17.730 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty bad. Not only would they never love you,

0:12:20.010 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>they would never even use you. Yes. That's delightful.

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.699
<v Speaker 3>A friend of mine did clue me in, though, because

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.459
<v Speaker 3>I don't really watch Gutfeld.

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm aware of him. I see him on The Five

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.660
<v Speaker 1>occasionally before Special Report.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:35.949
<v Speaker 3>But part of his act is, all right, how sledgehammery

0:12:36.110 --> 0:12:38.110
<v Speaker 3>is this punchline going to be?

0:12:38.929 --> 0:12:40.490
<v Speaker 1>And if you're like, oh, my God, here it comes,

0:12:40.530 --> 0:12:42.230
<v Speaker 1>here it comes, here it comes, and he hits.

0:12:42.090 --> 0:12:45.740
<v Speaker 2>You with that, it's like, ah! That's pretty good.

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.610
<v Speaker 1>Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

0:12:50.850 --> 0:12:55.550
<v Speaker 3>Greta is actually an absolutely perfect illustration of what I'm

0:12:55.610 --> 0:12:58.550
<v Speaker 3>always droning on about. And I happen to have just

0:12:58.610 --> 0:13:01.900
<v Speaker 3>seen a picture of her, which I believe to be legitimate.

0:13:02.179 --> 0:13:06.540
<v Speaker 3>She and her parents are all wearing, are they from Sweden?

0:13:06.660 --> 0:13:08.380
<v Speaker 1>Is that it? Sweden, yeah.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:16.500
<v Speaker 3>The Swedish Antifa t-shirt logo. And they're all Marxists, essentially.

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.580
<v Speaker 3>And so why would the climate change girl then be

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.290
<v Speaker 3>the Palestinian girl and now be the French rioting girl?

0:13:24.309 --> 0:13:27.170
<v Speaker 1>It's because she's a freaking Marxist. That's why.

0:13:27.429 --> 0:13:31.930
<v Speaker 3>Wherever there's a struggle against the status quo, she is

0:13:31.950 --> 0:13:35.209
<v Speaker 3>there to help overthrow it straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

0:13:35.250 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>That's what's going on here.

0:13:36.910 --> 0:13:37.850
<v Speaker 1>You're a commie.

0:13:38.390 --> 0:13:39.030
<v Speaker 2>Unlayable.

0:13:39.250 --> 0:13:45.650
<v Speaker 1>Wow. That punchline was wrong, Greta. I'm with you.

0:13:45.790 --> 0:13:49.309
<v Speaker 2>There's some young Marxist noodle boy who'd be interested.

0:13:49.990 --> 0:13:50.809
<v Speaker 1>Oh, sure.

0:13:50.929 --> 0:13:54.530
<v Speaker 3>With linguine arms and lack of hair on his upper

0:13:54.590 --> 0:13:58.230
<v Speaker 3>lip and looking forward to a nice vegan burger for lunch.

0:13:58.330 --> 0:14:00.110
<v Speaker 2>Probably watches so much porn he can't, though.

0:14:00.830 --> 0:14:01.710
<v Speaker 1>Right, right.

0:14:01.730 --> 0:14:02.370
<v Speaker 2>Probably got that going.

0:14:03.610 --> 0:14:05.349
<v Speaker 1>Can't lift 50 pounds over his head.

0:14:05.370 --> 0:14:06.650
<v Speaker 2>Blah, blah, blah.

0:14:06.700 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Blah, blah, blah. All right.

0:14:08.460 --> 0:14:16.260
<v Speaker 2>We got Katie's headlines next. Armstrong and Getty. Maybe I'm

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.830
<v Speaker 2>too precious for the world of politics. I probably am.

0:14:19.210 --> 0:14:21.370
<v Speaker 2>I got a couple examples of that coming up a

0:14:21.410 --> 0:14:21.950
<v Speaker 2>little bit later.

0:14:22.450 --> 0:14:24.270
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's League

0:14:24.290 --> 0:14:26.030
<v Speaker 1>Story with Katie Green. Katie, take it away.

0:14:26.270 --> 0:14:28.220
<v Speaker 5>All right, it's all Middle East with the Alphabet Network,

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 5>starting with Fox. Iranian army official warns U.S., Israel against

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 5>a miscalculation. CNN, the world will be amazed. Iran's commanders

0:14:37.700 --> 0:14:41.990
<v Speaker 5>prepare for further war. And then on ABC, Trump says U.S.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.270
<v Speaker 5>is winning war and can leave Iran right now.

0:14:45.290 --> 0:14:47.370
<v Speaker 2>Do you think there's any chance we're going to hit

0:14:47.390 --> 0:14:49.790
<v Speaker 2>Iran hard, that Trump thinks that that would be some

0:14:49.830 --> 0:14:51.660
<v Speaker 2>sort of October surprise that would help him?

0:14:54.150 --> 0:14:55.970
<v Speaker 3>Oh, boy, I'd have to think about whether it would

0:14:56.010 --> 0:14:59.330
<v Speaker 3>help him before I would predict whether it'll happen. He

0:14:59.350 --> 0:15:00.250
<v Speaker 3>would think it would help him.

0:15:00.830 --> 0:15:03.630
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know that it would. From The Guardian,

0:15:04.150 --> 0:15:05.570
<v Speaker 2>Zelensky claims U.S.

0:15:05.650 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 5>Is deliberately delaying interceptor missile deliveries to Kiev.

0:15:11.700 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:15:12.460 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Trying to pressure Zelensky to give up the country. As

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.220
<v Speaker 3>if he can declare that. They'd throw him out on

0:15:19.260 --> 0:15:21.780
<v Speaker 3>his ear. The people of Ukraine would. The government would.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.190
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to listen to him. Nobody in Ukraine

0:15:24.210 --> 0:15:24.990
<v Speaker 1>is going to give up.

0:15:25.670 --> 0:15:27.610
<v Speaker 2>If China, the United States, and Russia come up with

0:15:27.650 --> 0:15:29.910
<v Speaker 2>a deal, how do they make it stick with Zelensky?

0:15:30.150 --> 0:15:30.670
<v Speaker 2>How does that work?

0:15:30.690 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 3>By punishing the Ukrainians, good and hard, for failing to

0:15:34.020 --> 0:15:35.460
<v Speaker 3>accept their new reality.

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.979
<v Speaker 5>From the Washington Post... France Prime Minister promises more curfews

0:15:42.100 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 5>as authorities seek to regain control.

0:15:45.260 --> 0:15:47.739
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I read some good stuff about the

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>whole France situation yesterday. Douglas Murray, some great, it's the

0:15:52.660 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>end of France, maybe the end of Western civilization stuff.

0:15:56.420 --> 0:15:58.470
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's too bad. Well, we had a good run.

0:16:00.030 --> 0:16:00.910
<v Speaker 1>USA Today.

0:16:01.630 --> 0:16:03.990
<v Speaker 2>Judge scrutinizes Trump's D.C.

0:16:04.130 --> 0:16:07.990
<v Speaker 5>Golf overhaul as he calls her a crazed lunatic.

0:16:09.140 --> 0:16:12.420
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at the headlines yesterday around Trump knocked

0:16:12.460 --> 0:16:15.620
<v Speaker 2>down some trees and widening the golf course or whatever

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.490
<v Speaker 2>the heck. How does that stuff rise to the level

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.070
<v Speaker 2>of a 15-minute panel on MSNBC with all the things

0:16:23.110 --> 0:16:27.130
<v Speaker 2>that are going on? Let's keep our eye on the ball, people.

0:16:27.630 --> 0:16:29.010
<v Speaker 1>It is just ridiculous.

0:16:30.180 --> 0:16:34.330
<v Speaker 5>New York Post. Indiana Democrat Jamie West reveals how many

0:16:34.450 --> 0:16:37.410
<v Speaker 5>beers she downed before train wreck interview.

0:16:37.430 --> 0:16:40.430
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I saw the headline. I didn't listen to any

0:16:40.470 --> 0:16:42.010
<v Speaker 2>of it. How was she when she was sober?

0:16:42.610 --> 0:16:43.410
<v Speaker 1>Oh, beer gal.

0:16:43.650 --> 0:16:43.970
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:44.170 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that she was sober when she made

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:47.420
<v Speaker 5>this statement either.

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I think she said she had two or three.

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.540
<v Speaker 5>She said she had three Coors Lights, which, yeah, okay.

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.300
<v Speaker 2>Which is more or less what Highway Patrolman will tell you.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.850
<v Speaker 2>Everybody says who's drunk. I had two or three.

0:17:00.330 --> 0:17:01.870
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah. If she was 16 years old, I might

0:17:01.930 --> 0:17:02.770
<v Speaker 1>believe her, but no.

0:17:03.150 --> 0:17:06.230
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And finally, the Babylon Bee. Cute.

0:17:06.490 --> 0:17:09.270
<v Speaker 5>Katie Zachariah to dress up as a lawyer for Halloween.

0:17:10.130 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no. No.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 2>We got to talk about that. We failed to talk

0:17:14.820 --> 0:17:17.020
<v Speaker 2>about that yesterday because she resigned right after we got

0:17:17.060 --> 0:17:20.340
<v Speaker 2>off the air on Friday. We missed it. Missed that

0:17:20.380 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 2>great soap opera.

0:17:20.900 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>She did not have a good one.

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>No, she did not.

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.350
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:26.820 --> 0:17:31.179
<v Speaker 6>A devastating diagnosis for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 6>rattling the sports world, with backlash growing against the Eagles

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.220
<v Speaker 6>and their medical staff. Earlier this month, team doctors discovered

0:17:38.260 --> 0:17:41.619
<v Speaker 6>a superficial blood clot in the quarterback's calf. He traveled

0:17:41.660 --> 0:17:44.570
<v Speaker 6>to London and played the Jaguars on no sleep. They

0:17:44.609 --> 0:17:49.090
<v Speaker 6>diagnosed Hurts with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli,

0:17:49.290 --> 0:17:51.970
<v Speaker 6>with a blood clot in his leg traveling to his lungs.

0:17:52.410 --> 0:17:55.050
<v Speaker 6>Sports analysts are now questioning why he was cleared to

0:17:55.109 --> 0:17:57.629
<v Speaker 6>play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first place.

0:17:57.990 --> 0:18:00.129
<v Speaker 2>So I have a medical question on a sports question.

0:18:00.150 --> 0:18:02.590
<v Speaker 2>So is a big sports deal in the NFL because

0:18:02.609 --> 0:18:04.170
<v Speaker 2>he's one of the best players. He was the Super

0:18:04.210 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Bowl MVP year before last.

0:18:06.340 --> 0:18:08.020
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Eagles are a little sucky this year, but

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:08.940
<v Speaker 1>it's a big story. Sure.

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.340
<v Speaker 2>And and then I don't know about the whole the

0:18:12.420 --> 0:18:14.979
<v Speaker 2>Eagles made him fly. He's a grown up. He could say, no,

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.300
<v Speaker 2>I would assume I would assume he has, you know,

0:18:17.500 --> 0:18:19.379
<v Speaker 2>makes his some of his own medical decisions in his

0:18:19.420 --> 0:18:23.580
<v Speaker 2>life anyway. So he got kicked in the calf. Can

0:18:23.619 --> 0:18:25.899
<v Speaker 2>you get struck, like, kicked in the calf, and it

0:18:25.940 --> 0:18:28.130
<v Speaker 2>turns into a blood clot? That works that way? Apparently.

0:18:28.190 --> 0:18:28.810
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that.

0:18:29.430 --> 0:18:31.430
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it makes sense, I guess, but I'd never heard

0:18:31.450 --> 0:18:35.550
<v Speaker 3>of it before. He's lucky to be alive. He's got

0:18:36.150 --> 0:18:39.649
<v Speaker 3>pulmonary emboli in both lungs. Good Lord, they call that

0:18:39.690 --> 0:18:43.470
<v Speaker 3>the widowmaker. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's when a

0:18:43.510 --> 0:18:47.060
<v Speaker 3>blood clot breaks free, and it jams into the artery

0:18:47.450 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 3>that either takes blood to your lung or the one

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.359
<v Speaker 3>that takes it away.

0:18:51.580 --> 0:18:52.580
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, it's very bad.

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:54.060
<v Speaker 2>I know no medical terms.

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.419
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they thought I had a deep vein thrombosis. I

0:18:58.460 --> 0:19:06.149
<v Speaker 3>played the thrombone recently to no acclaim in high school. Yeah, but, yeah,

0:19:06.250 --> 0:19:11.560
<v Speaker 3>it's very, very dangerous. That was the day that my cardiologist— said, hey,

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 3>call your wife.

0:19:12.420 --> 0:19:13.940
<v Speaker 1>We've got to take you to the hospital right now.

0:19:14.260 --> 0:19:14.619
<v Speaker 5>Really?

0:19:15.060 --> 0:19:17.460
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, wait, what? So they had like a

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 2>scan or something? Turned out fine. And when they looked

0:19:20.140 --> 0:19:20.859
<v Speaker 2>at it, they called you?

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.370
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he called in the vein specialist. He said, no, no, no, no,

0:19:24.510 --> 0:19:26.010
<v Speaker 3>not a deep vein, shallow vein, shallow vein.

0:19:26.070 --> 0:19:28.050
<v Speaker 1>He'll be all right. And it turns out he was right.

0:19:28.490 --> 0:19:31.729
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, if it is a deep vein thrombosis, very dangerous.

0:19:32.690 --> 0:19:35.390
<v Speaker 2>And apparently him flying back and forth across the ocean

0:19:35.450 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't help anything. Well, and he was up.

0:19:38.220 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 3>All night because they couldn't let him sleep for some

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.820
<v Speaker 3>reason because of the danger of that.

0:19:42.900 --> 0:19:44.140
<v Speaker 1>I'm totally unfamiliar with that.

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.270
<v Speaker 3>And so he played without sleeping in a foreign land

0:19:48.690 --> 0:19:50.490
<v Speaker 3>with his lungs full of clots.

0:19:50.550 --> 0:19:52.810
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute. Was somebody trying to kill him?

0:19:55.310 --> 0:19:56.650
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to go through a couple of different

0:19:56.670 --> 0:19:58.409
<v Speaker 2>news stories for you. I do want to get to

0:19:58.430 --> 0:20:02.659
<v Speaker 2>this Douglas Murray piece later from the Free Press. France

0:20:02.780 --> 0:20:07.020
<v Speaker 2>stares down the abyss of history, basically talking about listing

0:20:07.180 --> 0:20:11.010
<v Speaker 2>many civilizations that have come and gone. in the long

0:20:11.230 --> 0:20:16.430
<v Speaker 2>epic of human civilization. And ours will go away, too, someday.

0:20:17.330 --> 0:20:20.130
<v Speaker 2>And this might be what it looks like. We might

0:20:20.150 --> 0:20:21.330
<v Speaker 2>be watching it in France right now.

0:20:22.410 --> 0:20:23.379
<v Speaker 1>Right, right.

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, humans, you know, the old, it's practically cliche goes,

0:20:29.300 --> 0:20:30.740
<v Speaker 3>the only thing we learn from history is that we

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:36.680
<v Speaker 3>learn nothing from history. People of this time, particularly Americans,

0:20:36.740 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 3>have known stability and peace, relative peace, And prosperity, for

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.900
<v Speaker 3>so long, they think it's inevitable. I mean, they truly,

0:20:45.300 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 3>in their bones, can't be convinced that it could go away.

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.379
<v Speaker 3>They think you're a nut job for suggesting it.

0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:20:55.960 --> 0:21:02.050
<v Speaker 2>So, California, people call the UC system in California the

0:21:02.090 --> 0:21:05.369
<v Speaker 2>best college system in the world. I've heard that many times.

0:21:05.510 --> 0:21:06.790
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they made that up. I don't

0:21:06.810 --> 0:21:07.850
<v Speaker 2>know what statistics do.

0:21:07.869 --> 0:21:09.609
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 2>These numbers came out yesterday. Nearly one in five UC

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:21.580
<v Speaker 2>freshmen are flunking math. Flunking, as in earning a failing grade, withdrawing,

0:21:21.780 --> 0:21:28.540
<v Speaker 2>or otherwise failing to pass. And given the epidemic of

0:21:28.580 --> 0:21:32.620
<v Speaker 2>A's in colleges and universities, like at Harvard, where they're

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>giving out 80% A's. Hold on.

0:21:35.700 --> 0:21:37.290
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my God. It's the Ebola.

0:21:37.790 --> 0:21:38.950
<v Speaker 2>No, I think it's that Russian thing.

0:21:40.450 --> 0:21:41.190
<v Speaker 1>Is there a Russian thing?

0:21:41.210 --> 0:21:42.889
<v Speaker 3>I've lost track of all the diseases.

0:21:43.430 --> 0:21:44.330
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he's dying.

0:21:44.350 --> 0:21:46.609
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the plague. Remember they got the plague in Russia?

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:48.540
<v Speaker 2>And it broke loose.

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.540
<v Speaker 1>Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, the gal who died, yeah.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what I got.

0:21:53.420 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the Ebola.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.540
<v Speaker 2>So in Harvard, they were giving out 80% A's. Up

0:21:58.580 --> 0:22:00.640
<v Speaker 2>until recently when they decided maybe we ought to slow down,

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.990
<v Speaker 2>including A-minuses. But A-minus are about 80% of the grades,

0:22:04.130 --> 0:22:05.830
<v Speaker 2>which is insane. So I don't know what it is

0:22:05.890 --> 0:22:07.530
<v Speaker 2>at the UC systems. I don't know how hard it

0:22:07.550 --> 0:22:10.730
<v Speaker 2>would be to flunk a class is my question. But

0:22:11.090 --> 0:22:15.100
<v Speaker 2>you got nearly one in five UC freshmen flunking math

0:22:15.660 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 2>at your UCs, San Diego's, UC, LA, UC, Santa Barbara,

0:22:20.060 --> 0:22:23.540
<v Speaker 2>all your UCs. And it varies from school to school. Yeah.

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:30.060
<v Speaker 2>For instance, at the worst one, UC Merced, 36% of

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 2>freshmen failed introductory math.

0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:33.820
<v Speaker 3>36%!

0:22:33.820 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:22:34.460 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>One out of three? Because they weren't taught it in school. Well, right.

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not their fault. It's not their fault at all.

0:22:43.310 --> 0:22:47.550
<v Speaker 2>That's the problem, is you graduated probably with really... Well,

0:22:47.570 --> 0:22:49.409
<v Speaker 2>you almost had to graduate. You know more about this

0:22:49.430 --> 0:22:51.590
<v Speaker 2>than I do, because I've never tried to get a

0:22:51.609 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 2>kid into any school, but... To get into a UC school,

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:57.939
<v Speaker 2>I assume you had to get pretty good grades in

0:22:57.980 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>high school.

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:00.500
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

0:23:00.580 --> 0:23:06.310
<v Speaker 3>I knew people who were just absolute certified geniuses, great extracurriculars,

0:23:06.810 --> 0:23:11.450
<v Speaker 3>stunning GPAs, earned. Who couldn't get into their UC school

0:23:11.490 --> 0:23:14.030
<v Speaker 3>of choice. I mean, it was too crowded. Partly with

0:23:14.070 --> 0:23:17.409
<v Speaker 3>Chinese nationals paying full boat, full price.

0:23:17.830 --> 0:23:18.270
<v Speaker 1>Just partly.

0:23:18.470 --> 0:23:24.110
<v Speaker 2>So then your freshman math class flunked it. You probably

0:23:25.290 --> 0:23:27.570
<v Speaker 2>got A's in math in high school and thought you

0:23:27.590 --> 0:23:29.590
<v Speaker 2>were good at math. Not your fault. The teacher told

0:23:29.630 --> 0:23:29.950
<v Speaker 2>you that.

0:23:30.410 --> 0:23:33.369
<v Speaker 1>B's at worst. Absolute worst. Yeah.

0:23:33.630 --> 0:23:37.690
<v Speaker 2>And then you flunk freshman math. And that'd be quite

0:23:37.710 --> 0:23:38.650
<v Speaker 2>the shock to your system.

0:23:39.260 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah.

0:23:40.420 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Some days I feel like the guy who got to

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:45.939
<v Speaker 3>the restaurant early, but, you know, the lobby's comfortable, so

0:23:45.980 --> 0:23:48.620
<v Speaker 3>I'll sit here. I'll flip through some news headlines, get

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.740
<v Speaker 3>some work done while I'm waiting for everybody to show up.

0:23:51.820 --> 0:23:57.340
<v Speaker 3>The showing up being realizing how utterly corrupt our government

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.160
<v Speaker 3>schools have become, how corrupt and useless they are, how

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 3>underachieving they are, how powerful and destructive the teachers' unions

0:24:04.740 --> 0:24:08.260
<v Speaker 3>have become. A lot of us are clinging to our memories.

0:24:09.250 --> 0:24:13.390
<v Speaker 3>of what public schools were back in the day. It's

0:24:13.430 --> 0:24:16.510
<v Speaker 3>a different piece. Not to say all teachers are bad

0:24:16.550 --> 0:24:17.970
<v Speaker 3>or all schools are bad. There are some that are

0:24:17.990 --> 0:24:21.310
<v Speaker 3>doing their damnedest, but all the tides are flowing against them.

0:24:21.369 --> 0:24:23.510
<v Speaker 3>It's a terrible failure.

0:24:23.990 --> 0:24:27.500
<v Speaker 2>The courses included calculus and pre-calculus, which I assume you

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't take unless you thought you were pretty good at

0:24:29.619 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 2>math because there's also preparatory math classes that are like

0:24:34.060 --> 0:24:37.300
<v Speaker 2>your basic math just because you need a math credit

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:38.020
<v Speaker 2>to graduate.

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 3>Mm-hmm.

0:24:39.170 --> 0:24:40.590
<v Speaker 2>Also algebra and trigonometry.

0:24:40.950 --> 0:24:44.479
<v Speaker 3>But you can't explain away much of this with, you know,

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 3>that person thought they were ready for calc, but it

0:24:46.700 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 3>turns out they didn't realize they weren't. No, my recollection

0:24:49.740 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 3>of the educational process is it's a pretty step-by-step thing.

0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:58.609
<v Speaker 1>You don't go from basic math to trigonometry, for instance.

0:24:59.550 --> 0:24:59.730
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:25:00.910 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 2>That is something. And, of course, that brings up the

0:25:04.420 --> 0:25:08.899
<v Speaker 2>argument in California about bringing back the SAT or the

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>ACT scores. They're starting to do those tests again.

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Even the utterly corrupt universities are saying, hey, come on,

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 3>this is stupid. Here's the metaphor for you. And it'll

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:22.959
<v Speaker 3>take a long time culturally for the reasons we've been

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:28.140
<v Speaker 3>talking about. But people need to start looking at government schools.

0:25:29.590 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 3>as like some sort of pauper's clinic for medical care.

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:40.830
<v Speaker 1>That you only go there if you're desperate. Because it's

0:25:40.869 --> 0:25:41.830
<v Speaker 1>moving in that direction.

0:25:42.390 --> 0:25:46.010
<v Speaker 3>And I realize that's incredibly disappointing and scary to folks

0:25:46.030 --> 0:25:48.440
<v Speaker 3>who are living paycheck to paycheck and The idea of

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.260
<v Speaker 3>a private school is terrible.

0:25:51.140 --> 0:25:53.889
<v Speaker 1>The idea of needing to do that is terrible. It's galling.

0:25:53.930 --> 0:25:56.270
<v Speaker 1>I swear to God, it is galling, and you have

0:25:56.310 --> 0:25:56.830
<v Speaker 1>my sympathy.

0:25:56.869 --> 0:25:58.910
<v Speaker 2>If you pay high taxes when you write that check

0:25:58.930 --> 0:26:01.770
<v Speaker 2>for a private school, it's like, what is going on here? Yeah.

0:26:02.390 --> 0:26:05.540
<v Speaker 3>You're being thieved from is what's going on here. Hey,

0:26:05.619 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 3>one more story I wanted to jam in.

0:26:07.220 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 2>J.D. Vance declined to endorse Netanyahu in a re-election bid.

0:26:11.619 --> 0:26:16.660
<v Speaker 2>So Trump came out strong over the weekend endorsing Netanyahu.

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:20.340
<v Speaker 2>The election is coming up. The 27th, so just a

0:26:20.380 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 2>week away. Pretty big deal. Netanyahu is the longest serving

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.540
<v Speaker 2>prime minister in Israel's history. Trump endorsed him. Vance did not.

0:26:27.660 --> 0:26:30.770
<v Speaker 2>Vance going with the, well, I'm not going to. We've

0:26:30.790 --> 0:26:33.570
<v Speaker 2>got our own elections going on. I'm not going to

0:26:33.590 --> 0:26:36.990
<v Speaker 2>get involved in another country's politics. Keeping in mind that

0:26:37.070 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>he went over to Hungary and endorsed Orban, for instance. Right.

0:26:42.540 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Or went over to France and endorsed that ADF guy,

0:26:46.020 --> 0:26:49.270
<v Speaker 2>far right guy. So he's endorsed other people in other countries,

0:26:49.330 --> 0:26:50.150
<v Speaker 2>but not Netanyahu.

0:26:50.750 --> 0:26:51.010
<v Speaker 6>J.D.

0:26:51.090 --> 0:26:53.869
<v Speaker 2>Vance is trying to play pretty careful with the whole,

0:26:53.890 --> 0:26:57.500
<v Speaker 2>I ain't a big Israel guy, lining up to run

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:58.820
<v Speaker 2>for president. No doubt.

0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:04.020
<v Speaker 3>He's trying to keep the anti-Semite right on his side.

0:27:04.260 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what, if I was Jewish, I would

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 2>be worried about the direction of things. When J.D. Vance is, like,

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:11.990
<v Speaker 2>distancing himself from Israel, and then you got the left

0:27:12.070 --> 0:27:15.070
<v Speaker 2>doing what the left's doing around the Jews.

0:27:15.390 --> 0:27:21.180
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's rough. Oh, yeah, it's 1936, definitely. Yeah, and

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:23.220
<v Speaker 3>I don't say that lightly. I just wanted to say

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.780
<v Speaker 3>about Vance, you know, it is somewhat defensible in that

0:27:25.820 --> 0:27:31.399
<v Speaker 3>there are other, you know, good, strong, pro-defense patriots in

0:27:31.500 --> 0:27:34.540
<v Speaker 3>Israel who are like, Netanyahu's got too much baggage.

0:27:34.580 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 1>He's got to go.

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 3>We need a new generation of leadership. And that's not

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 3>an illegitimate point of view.

0:27:39.980 --> 0:27:43.740
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's also given speeches in which he talked about

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:45.660
<v Speaker 2>Israel dragging us into a war.

0:27:46.330 --> 0:27:49.409
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, no, no, no. J.D. is absolutely kowtowing to

0:27:49.430 --> 0:27:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the anti-Semite, the Jews, right?

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:57.100
<v Speaker 3>He's absolutely kowtowing to them. I'm just saying, in general,

0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:00.460
<v Speaker 3>for you, me, and everyone listening, you know, Netanyahu's not

0:28:00.500 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 3>the only choice in Israeli politics.

0:28:03.420 --> 0:28:05.670
<v Speaker 2>By the way, here's an inside media comment on this.

0:28:06.470 --> 0:28:10.350
<v Speaker 2>I heard somebody commenting, so that J.D. Vance story came

0:28:10.450 --> 0:28:13.540
<v Speaker 2>out of an interview Mark Halperin did with J.D. Vance on...

0:28:14.410 --> 0:28:17.869
<v Speaker 2>Air Force Two. And somebody commented, I haven't watched the

0:28:17.910 --> 0:28:22.150
<v Speaker 2>whole interview, but somebody commented, lots of news made here.

0:28:22.490 --> 0:28:25.100
<v Speaker 2>That's what happens if a journalist sits down with the

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:29.120
<v Speaker 2>idea of trying to reveal positions or make news rather

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 2>than has an ax to grind politically. And that's true.

0:28:32.740 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm so used to interviews. On either Fox or MSNBC,

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 2>where you're there to prop up somebody that you like

0:28:42.000 --> 0:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>or tear down somebody you hate as opposed to just

0:28:44.420 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 2>get information out of them.

0:28:45.890 --> 0:28:46.070
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:28:46.790 --> 0:28:46.970
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:48.470 --> 0:28:53.650
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Journalism may not be dead, but it's very, very ill. Oh,

0:28:53.730 --> 0:28:57.010
<v Speaker 3>I've got my favorite political candidate, perhaps of all time.

0:28:58.610 --> 0:29:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Brady Rogers is running for the city council of his

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:04.540
<v Speaker 3>British Columbia city.

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He's a Canucker, a Canadian.

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.930
<v Speaker 3>He's gained attention for his campaign signs, which bore slogans

0:29:09.990 --> 0:29:12.710
<v Speaker 3>such as, I barely want to do this. Just trying

0:29:12.730 --> 0:29:15.630
<v Speaker 3>to pay my rent. Fine, I'll do it. And how

0:29:15.690 --> 0:29:18.820
<v Speaker 3>hard can it be? Even his campaign website opens with

0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 3>the message. Do I enjoy politics?

0:29:20.940 --> 0:29:21.140
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:29:21.860 --> 0:29:22.780
<v Speaker 1>Do I know what I'm doing?

0:29:23.180 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:29:23.700 --> 0:29:25.780
<v Speaker 1>But am I qualified? Also, no.

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:31.980
<v Speaker 3>I have a feeling we're about to get your attention.

0:29:32.030 --> 0:29:36.930

0:30:41.730 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Usually we're talking about sports, NFL, Monday Night Football. Last night,

0:30:45.260 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the San Francisco 49ers are now undefeated in 6-0. Did

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:51.580
<v Speaker 2>you know that Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the 49ers,

0:30:52.740 --> 0:30:54.350
<v Speaker 2>I don't know after last night because last night was

0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:57.910
<v Speaker 2>his 51st game, but going in, 50 games in, he

0:30:57.950 --> 0:31:04.390
<v Speaker 2>had the highest quarterback percentage, your rating, in the history

0:31:04.410 --> 0:31:04.780
<v Speaker 2>of the NFL.

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:04.990
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:31:05.530 --> 0:31:06.070
<v Speaker 1>That is correct.

0:31:06.310 --> 0:31:08.130
<v Speaker 2>Through 50 games. That's incredible.

0:31:08.650 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 3>And midway through the game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman

0:31:12.420 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 3>were fitting him for his Hall of Fame jacket. They

0:31:14.820 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 3>were down on the field with the measuring devices and

0:31:17.620 --> 0:31:20.260
<v Speaker 3>the rest of it. And then the last three series,

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 3>the San Francisco 49ers.

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Ran three and outs.

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:27.290
<v Speaker 3>And they about lost to the lonely Washington Commanders. So

0:31:27.330 --> 0:31:28.990
<v Speaker 3>they sputtered to the finish.

0:31:30.260 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Has something. The last guy in the draft has the

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.580
<v Speaker 2>highest quarterback rating in NFL history.

0:31:36.060 --> 0:31:39.060
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah. Doesn't that say something about something? I'm sure

0:31:39.100 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>it does.

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Their ability to evaluate talent.

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:42.330
<v Speaker 1>You figure it out.

0:31:42.340 --> 0:31:45.180
<v Speaker 2>That means every team passed on him six times?

0:31:45.770 --> 0:31:48.850
<v Speaker 1>Try, try again or something. Takes one to know one.

0:31:49.050 --> 0:31:50.850
<v Speaker 2>Six times you had a chance to draft him as

0:31:50.890 --> 0:31:54.290
<v Speaker 2>a team. You're like, no, no, no, not him. Every team,

0:31:54.370 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 2>six times. Nah, not him.

0:31:57.050 --> 0:31:57.250
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:31:57.630 --> 0:31:58.370
<v Speaker 1>Anybody but him.

0:31:58.470 --> 0:32:01.090
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't you be embarrassed if the... Don't you want to

0:32:01.150 --> 0:32:02.070
<v Speaker 2>quit and find new work?

0:32:02.570 --> 0:32:05.330
<v Speaker 3>We'll take the hot dog vendor out of Michigan State.

0:32:05.750 --> 0:32:07.790
<v Speaker 3>That dude can really carry that thing up and down

0:32:07.830 --> 0:32:08.250
<v Speaker 3>the stairs.

0:32:08.270 --> 0:32:10.710
<v Speaker 1>We'll take him. Just not Brock Purdy.

0:32:10.910 --> 0:32:11.990
<v Speaker 2>We got mailbag next.

0:32:13.780 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong and Getty.

0:32:18.500 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Seven times a texter pointed out. So the guy most

0:32:21.180 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 2>likely to be MVP in the NFL this season, Brock Purdy,

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>was passed on by every single team seven times. Before

0:32:29.740 --> 0:32:32.100
<v Speaker 2>the 49ers said, I guess we got to take somebody.

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>They were picking punters. Just long snappers. Guys who had

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:42.740
<v Speaker 2>never played but were pretty big and work in the office.

0:32:43.370 --> 0:32:44.250
<v Speaker 3>Right, right.

0:32:44.910 --> 0:32:45.430
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:32:45.810 --> 0:32:47.010
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag. Oh, I'm sorry.

0:32:47.250 --> 0:32:49.890
<v Speaker 3>Freedom-loving quote of the day first. Almost went with a

0:32:49.910 --> 0:32:51.650
<v Speaker 3>political one, but then I came across this and I

0:32:51.690 --> 0:32:54.910
<v Speaker 3>really liked it. It's from Oscar Alec Ice, whose work

0:32:54.950 --> 0:32:56.950
<v Speaker 3>I do not know. I hope he's not somebody loathsome.

0:32:57.490 --> 0:33:00.340
<v Speaker 3>But I like this quote. The greatest challenge in life

0:33:00.500 --> 0:33:04.860
<v Speaker 3>is discovering who you are. The second greatest is being

0:33:04.940 --> 0:33:06.180
<v Speaker 3>happy with what you find.

0:33:06.500 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's good. Who said that?

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:21.490
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Alik-Ice. A-U-L-I-Q-Ice. I do not know. Alik Ice, baby. Stop.

0:33:21.530 --> 0:33:24.130
<v Speaker 2>Right. Collaborate and listen. Oh, no.

0:33:24.230 --> 0:33:25.630
<v Speaker 1>Make him stop. Mailbag.

0:33:26.850 --> 0:33:28.020
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's terrible.

0:33:28.670 --> 0:33:32.010
<v Speaker 3>Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. Nobody should know the words to that song,

0:33:32.070 --> 0:33:33.590
<v Speaker 3>including the guy who wrote it.

0:33:33.610 --> 0:33:34.270
<v Speaker 1>Got sued for it.

0:33:35.170 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's see. On this topic, Jack, I know this will

0:33:37.780 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 3>be near and dear to your heart. We've been talking

0:33:39.140 --> 0:33:43.290
<v Speaker 3>about this both on and off the air from Gabrielle. Writing, guys,

0:33:43.350 --> 0:33:46.470
<v Speaker 3>on the topic of wokeness replacing religion, I was just

0:33:46.550 --> 0:33:49.060
<v Speaker 3>listening to part of the podcast about wokeness filling the

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.900
<v Speaker 3>void of Catholicism. I live in a part of Idaho

0:33:51.940 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 3>with a high LDS population. That's the Mormons. And the

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 3>most serious lefties I know are ex-LDS. You spend your

0:33:59.300 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 3>whole childhood hearing about unquestionable moral authority. Who knows what's

0:34:03.140 --> 0:34:04.780
<v Speaker 3>best for you, even if it doesn't make sense to.

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>You in the moment.

0:34:05.660 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 3>No wonder you're searching for something else that gives you

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:10.210
<v Speaker 3>the same moral comfort. Thanks for keeping me entertained on

0:34:10.250 --> 0:34:12.810
<v Speaker 3>long drives across Idaho. It's our pleasure, Gabriel.

0:34:12.890 --> 0:34:16.750
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. That's a good point. I think it's true.

0:34:16.850 --> 0:34:20.710
<v Speaker 3>It seems a little odd to me, but it's true.

0:34:21.930 --> 0:34:24.860
<v Speaker 3>People generally go from one fundamentalism to another.

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:27.470
<v Speaker 1>In short. Let's see.

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:30.660
<v Speaker 3>Sarah with two R's in Kentucky writes, guys, on the

0:34:30.700 --> 0:34:33.760
<v Speaker 3>topic of Paris, it's sobering to realize that the rioters

0:34:33.780 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 3>in France are treating the country's architectural gems worse than

0:34:36.620 --> 0:34:37.600
<v Speaker 3>the Nazis did.

0:34:37.660 --> 0:34:37.739
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:34:38.810 --> 0:34:41.110
<v Speaker 3>It's true, and it's depressing to hear the young female

0:34:41.150 --> 0:34:43.610
<v Speaker 3>shop owner shown in so many photos now memes begging

0:34:43.650 --> 0:34:47.070
<v Speaker 3>looters to stop destroying her life's work, but she still

0:34:47.150 --> 0:34:51.170
<v Speaker 3>supports immigration, rampant immigration. I guess suicidal ideologies are a

0:34:51.170 --> 0:34:54.050
<v Speaker 3>human right. Though Paris is now the city of light,

0:34:54.260 --> 0:34:56.220
<v Speaker 3>it could still be the city of love. Tim Walz

0:34:56.260 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 3>could whisk his wife away on a romantic trip where

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:02.540
<v Speaker 3>she can sleep in ennui and languidly smoke French cigarettes

0:35:02.860 --> 0:35:05.580
<v Speaker 3>while huffing the aroma of burning tires.

0:35:06.140 --> 0:35:07.260
<v Speaker 1>That's a beautiful sentence.

0:35:08.340 --> 0:35:08.500
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:35:09.610 --> 0:35:10.430
<v Speaker 1>Let's see.

0:35:11.110 --> 0:35:13.410
<v Speaker 3>Another J in San Jose says, I think France should

0:35:13.430 --> 0:35:17.130
<v Speaker 3>immediately enact under emergency powers that any naturalized citizen, refugee,

0:35:17.190 --> 0:35:20.569
<v Speaker 3>or other non-citizen status who participate in riots, destruction, theft,

0:35:20.610 --> 0:35:23.610
<v Speaker 3>and other behavior will be deported. Then, based on French

0:35:23.660 --> 0:35:27.300
<v Speaker 3>revolutionary history, let's get through the establishment executions quickly.

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:28.219
<v Speaker 1>One week max.

0:35:28.540 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Then let's welcome the new revolutionaries, give them control of

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 3>the government. France is nuclear, so that's a concern. This

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:35.540
<v Speaker 3>means we'll have to hurry up the executions of the

0:35:35.580 --> 0:35:39.219
<v Speaker 3>revolutionaries that had shades of Robespierre I proposed within two weeks.

0:35:39.460 --> 0:35:41.500
<v Speaker 3>We could probably wrap up this whole thing within a

0:35:41.540 --> 0:35:45.360
<v Speaker 3>month and get back to 40-hour work weeks, retirement at 65,

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and shut the blank up.

0:35:48.420 --> 0:35:52.500
<v Speaker 1>That's good stuff, another J. I love that. Let's see.

0:35:52.580 --> 0:35:54.470
<v Speaker 3>Amani points out that the NFL is supposed to play

0:35:54.489 --> 0:35:55.839
<v Speaker 3>in Paris this weekend.

0:35:55.910 --> 0:36:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yep. They say it's still on. We'll see. We'll see

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:00.580
<v Speaker 1>if it's on.

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>What a great thing to disrupt. What a symbol of

0:36:04.060 --> 0:36:06.419
<v Speaker 2>Western civilization to disrupt an NFL game.

0:36:07.120 --> 0:36:10.860
<v Speaker 1>And how much would France hate that? Yeah.

0:36:10.910 --> 0:36:13.450
<v Speaker 3>We got a bunch of emails on the topic of

0:36:13.570 --> 0:36:15.790
<v Speaker 3>Trump and Russia and Ukraine and that.

0:36:15.710 --> 0:36:16.189
<v Speaker 1>Sort of thing.

0:36:16.430 --> 0:36:18.170
<v Speaker 2>Want to do that for a standalone segment?

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:20.070
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, why don't we do that later on? I'll collect

0:36:20.090 --> 0:36:20.490
<v Speaker 1>the good ones.

0:36:20.530 --> 0:36:22.850
<v Speaker 3>Both agree and disagree. Obviously, you're more than welcome to

0:36:23.010 --> 0:36:26.270
<v Speaker 3>dissent around here. We think it's a good thing. Mailbag

0:36:26.310 --> 0:36:27.410
<v Speaker 3>at armstrongandgetty.com.

0:36:27.530 --> 0:36:28.670
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to get into that in an hour

0:36:28.690 --> 0:36:30.489
<v Speaker 2>or two. That's a heck of a topic which I

0:36:30.510 --> 0:36:32.930
<v Speaker 2>think could really explode in the Republican Party. If you

0:36:32.950 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 2>miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty On Demand.
