1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty and he I'm strong and yetty.

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 3: So a few more editors have quit at the LA

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: Times over the refusal of the owner to allow them

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: to endorse Kamala Harris, or to have an endorsement at all,

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: be more fair way to say it, but they wanted

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: to endorse Kamala Harris and their belief is at the

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: LA Times, this is an important election. We're dealing with

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: the fascists here. This is a different situation. We have

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: to listen to me the last election over lifetimes and

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: the owner had this crazy idea at the LA Times.

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: How about you list to all the positive and negatives

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: of both candidates from their terms and then let people decide.

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: And the editors are staunchly against that. Talking about Hitler

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: here it's Hitler versus some mother Teresa.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: So the head person quit and now more people have quit.

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: But I got I got more on that. The national

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: mental health crisis that is coming our way, I don't

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: think can be overstated.

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: Because Trump is gonna win more on that in a minute.

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: But first, let's take a fond look back at the

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: week that was. It's the Friday tradition cow clips of

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: the week.

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: So here it goes. I'm kind of a nerd, sometimes.

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: Given like a gift.

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: Those whips of the Vice president.

30
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is calling Donald Trump increasingly unhinged.

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: Increasingly unhinged and unstable. Do you think Donald Trump is

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: a fascist?

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I do.

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: Surely you can't mean Hitler's generals, And Trump said, yeah, yeah,

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 5: Hitler's generals.

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 6: Leo Nazis fascists in America.

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: People, so follow this fascist pig. Then, I don't know

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: what else to say.

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: Spring time for hip Lo and Germany.

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's dissension into madness. I had a lot of

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: fun here, everybody.

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 7: No tax on tips, no tax on over time, no

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 7: tax on social Security benefits.

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 6: But the way Trump is talking about cutting social Security

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 6: is crazy.

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, here's Harris leading a rally that apparently came with

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: free vodka.

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: What I'm talking.

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 5: About renewed and intense push to possibly get two of

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 5: the nation's most infamous convicted killers out of prison.

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 7: We're gonna recommend to the court that the life without

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 7: the possibility of parole be removed.

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: There will be eligible for parole immediately.

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 8: Is the talk of the baseball world in English and

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 8: Spanish and any other language that's close at hand. Fernando Valenzuela.

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: The Dodgers have captured the national legue pennant and they're

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: headed to the World Series.

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 8: Can I go back? Can I go back?

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Please? Prosy I got.

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: Come in?

62
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: How is that? Even for Hospitalian? That didn't even make

63
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: any sense?

64
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: Topsy Turvy whirlwind, So h could you dig up that

65
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: Kimberly Stressll thing that you had earlier that I said

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: was such a great quote inside, because I really thought

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: it was kind of fixing with war about the talk

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: about here I, as I've been mentioning, I take in

69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: both of Mark Halprin's zoom two way calls. It's a

70
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: form called two way, but it's like a zoom every

71
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: day where he has all these different insiders, strategists, Republican

72
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: and democraties really really trying to be down the middle, nonpartisan,

73
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: well not even down the middle, just report what all

74
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: the smart people are telling him, and then you know,

75
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: do what you want with the information.

76
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: But I find it fascinating.

77
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: But I will tell you this, the Democrats on that

78
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: show are they seem to be just resigned to the

79
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: fact that unless there's some craziness going on in all

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: the polls that we don't see, Trump is going to win.

81
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: It's just it's hard to look at it any other way.

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: Right now, I'm looking at the Hills ride up today.

83
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: The Hill No Right linging publication, their interpretation of the

84
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: New York Times Siena pole that came out today bad

85
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: news for Harris campaign because it's tied forty eight to

86
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: forty eight. And more than that, Trump's got his highest

87
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 3: approval in that poll, just like the Wall Street Journal

88
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: poll yesterday that he's ever had. He's more popular than

89
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: he's ever been. It's just it's shocking to me.

90
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'm really persuaded by the number of congress people

91
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: and senators or candidates for those offices who have hastily

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: produced ads. These are Democrats saying I've worked across the

93
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: aisle with Trump and I'll do it again. I'm very moderate,

94
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: He's okay with me, so it's okay to vote for

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: him and me too. They're not doing that accidentally.

96
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: Well, the guy that is on the Mark Alprin Show

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: to boost to speak for the Democrats, said democrats he

98
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: was talking to after town hall performance on Wednesday night.

99
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: We played the highlights yesterday.

100
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: That was the last straw for a lot of them

101
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: of having any hope that she could turn this around,

102
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: because there she was on the CNN town hall being

103
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: asked for the fifteenth time, you know, how would you

104
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: be different than Joe Biden? Well, I'm not Joe Biden,

105
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: you know. Okay, that joke is not landing the way

106
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: you think. And people have been looking for an answer

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: and they still don't get one, and so people are

108
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: just Democrats are just given up on like the high

109
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: level strategists are given up on her being a good campaigner,

110
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: like why would it change at this point.

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Which brings us quite beautifully to the Kimstrecel piece that

112
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: we referenced unless you have something else, you got more

113
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: about and it is okay fine. Kim is making the

114
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: point that essentially Kamala's repraising Hillary Clinton's campaign basketed aplorables,

115
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: and she goes through in very amusing fashion a recent

116
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: rally where Kamala and Liz Cheney ran through the list

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: of what's wrong with Trump, depravity, misogyny, vicious, vitriolic, erratic, unstable, fascist, hitler, venom, dangerous, cruel,

118
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: on and on and on and on to the point

119
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: of hilarity, near hilarity. But then she gets to her

120
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: point that we've all heard this thousands of times, every

121
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: voter has for going on a decade. And I love

122
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: this sentence. This is so familiar by now that the

123
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: definition of an undecided voter is someone who is aware

124
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: of mister Trump's problems yet unpersuaded to vote for his opponent.

125
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was beautifully simple. And then she goes

126
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: on to say, miss Harris is giving them nada. Undecided

127
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: participants in this week's CNN town hall pleaded with her

128
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: for details. She responded with the barest of platitudes, and

129
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Kim goes through half a dozen examples of questions and

130
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: answers of undecided voters begging for something to hang on to,

131
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: and Kamala responding with pablem with nothing.

132
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: That seems so incredibly obvious that it's hard to imagine

133
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: why the really top notch strategist Kamala Harris has working

134
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: for have gone the direction they've gone. Everybody knows this argument,

135
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: and it clearly didn't work on these people. So you

136
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: got to come up with some different and as turn

137
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: unless it's turnout, because turnout can change everything.

138
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: As we head for the first game of the World Series,

139
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: or as I'm calling it, the Payrolls.

140
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: Series, Hey, now it's the rich kid richer.

141
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if a sports fan is sitting there yelling

142
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: at their TV asking of the picture, throw the breaking ball,

143
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: why doesn't he throw the breaking ball?

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: You know why? Probably because he's got a bad breaking ball.

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: He's not good at it. He would go to it

146
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: if he could.

147
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: Why isn't Kamala wowing us all with the specifics of

148
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: her transcendent policies?

149
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: Well answer, you know, at home or in your car

150
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: wherever you happen to be listening.

151
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 3: Oh, I loved this conversation they had on the call

152
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: yesterday with all the strategists with Mark Alpern asking. So

153
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: there are really only two choices here on her answering

154
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: the questions at the CNN town hall. Either inexplicably they're

155
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: not coaching her up on these answers like why didn't

156
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: you do this stuff on the border earlier? How would

157
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: you be different than Joe Biden, you know, fracking whatever

158
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: the obvious ones that she still hasn't nailed down. They

159
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: either inexplicably aren't coaching her on this stuff, or the

160
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: are and she forgets them.

161
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean, those are your only two. There are two

162
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: choices total. There's not a third option.

163
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: They're either and again, it would be inexplicable that these

164
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 3: are some of the best campaign people in the history

165
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: of modern politics have failed to prepare her for questions

166
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: that much of America is I wondering, scratching their heads,

167
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: wondering I did not have an answer for that, or.

168
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: When the lights come on? She forged What was I

169
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: supposed to say about how I'm different than Joe Biden? Again,

170
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: I just I know I had sure.

171
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Somewhere in America, David Pluff has his head in his

172
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: hands and he's rubbing his forehead. He's listening to our show.

173
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, David, and he's saying, I tell you, what,

174
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: how about you train your dog to preheat your oven

175
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: so you can throw dinner.

176
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: In as soon as you get there. All right, great,

177
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: We'll have a race.

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: I'll train Kamala up to deliver incisive policy prescriptions, and

179
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: you do the dog, preheat the oven thing.

180
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: We'll see who wins.

181
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gotta be because he ran Barack Obama's campaign,

182
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: so he was working with Barack Obama. So it's got

183
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: to be like whoever Tiger Woods coach was, Like if

184
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: he had Tiger Woods all those years coaching them up

185
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: and then you had me, you're doing the same stuff,

186
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: but you aren't getting the same results. And listen, I

187
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: got under different clay. Yeah.

188
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I can hear myself talking. And and if you're a

189
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: person of the left or whatever, I can hear you saying,

190
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: all right, listen to mister big right wing ye talk

191
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: show guy saying Kamala is dumb and dismissing her and

192
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: the rest of it would challenge you, my friend, and

193
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: we can absolutely still be friends. Can you come up

194
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: with another answer as to why, especially especially given Kim

195
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Chris Strassell's excellent point that an undecided voter is someone

196
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: well aware of Trump's flaws but has not yet been

197
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: persuaded to vote for his opponent. Can you come up

198
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: with a solid answer for why she has not offered

199
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: that reason or set of reasons why you should vote

200
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: for her in terms of policy? And I mean for instance,

201
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: to get back to Kim's thing, what specific actions would

202
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: you take to bridge the partisan divide was one of

203
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: the questions asked.

204
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: And that's a man that is a softball.

205
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: But she just babbled something about I'll be a president

206
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: for all Americans with common sense and practical solutions. Okay, well,

207
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: one policy goal would be your priority in Congress.

208
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: There's not just one.

209
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: We need to get past this era of politics and

210
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: partisan politics.

211
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that one, I'd forgoten. We didn't play that one.

212
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable after four years of Biden.

213
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Please please please differentiate your policies from him, I said

214
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: one of the questioners. He didn't say please, please, please,

215
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: but she responded, I represent a new generation with new approaches.

216
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: I will bring my experience actually taking care of my mother.

217
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: A pardon me, who ordered a bag full of nothing burgers?

218
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Nothing burgers?

219
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: Well, so again, then this mythical person you're talking to

220
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: who's on Comma's side, do you have another option other

221
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: than those two They are either not coaching or the

222
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: answers for these obvious questions where she's incapable of remembering them.

223
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: We're saying a third possibility and I'm not saying this

224
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: because I believe it. I'm just trying to be fair.

225
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Is that they've done enough internal polling.

226
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: She has a warm eating or brain. No, that's RFK.

227
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: No, that they've done a polling that shows that a

228
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: virtually any answer she gives just detracts from her.

229
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: I'm new Joy Joy.

230
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: Saying you're losing. I mean, well, yeah, you could make

231
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 3: you can say that two months ago, but now you'd

232
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: have to say, well, it's not working. Maybe if that

233
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 3: was your theory, fine, but it's not worked. I mean

234
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: you've got Anderson Cooper and people on the left slapping

235
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: their heads like, are you ever going to answer this question?

236
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

237
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, with all due respect to Madame Vice President, you

238
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: didn't answer the question. That is hard hitting right winger

239
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Andy Cooper.

240
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: One interesting thing about how election Day could turn out

241
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: from Nate Silver and an op ed in the New

242
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 3: York Times.

243
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: Worth passing along and then we'll move on to something else.

244
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: Stay here.

245
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: A woman in Bangladesh recently said the Guinness World Record

246
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: for most grains of rice eating one at a time

247
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: using chopsticks.

248
00:13:53,320 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: Cool, said the couple waiting for the table. I like that.

249
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: I've come across that with comedians. John Oliver does it

250
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: now and then as a response to things. When they

251
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 3: do things, people do something of a certain like that

252
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: reresponses cool. I felt that way yesterday I saw I

253
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: wanted to do that to a guy. I saw a

254
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: guy in the parking lot wearing a foxtail. I don't

255
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: know he was a furry in the tail of position,

256
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: or on a hat or on.

257
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Mab He's not in her head coming out the back

258
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: of his pants.

259
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: Yes, Ka, you spotted a furry in the wild jack. Yeah,

260
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: and so it's a big fox tale. And I wanted

261
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: to say him, hey, cool, wow, I told my son

262
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: I really was cracking him up. I want to say, hey,

263
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: like your foxtail, really like your fuck? Is that a

264
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: fox or a lemur?

265
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Cool? What the hell? Yeah? Yeah? So many wackeddoodles? Oh

266
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: my god?

267
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

268
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: Are we at peak wackadoodle in America? I hope, jeez,

269
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: I hope.

270
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

271
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: What are the chances when I was my son's age,

272
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: my dad and I walking through the parking lot of

273
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: the grocery store.

274
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: Seeing a grown man with an animal tale zero.

275
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Because that was a time of oppression and harsh judgment

276
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: over alternate lifestyles e racist or something.

277
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, is fox a race? I don't know.

278
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, certainly a species. Do we have time

279
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: for this? I don't know.

280
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: It's we mentioned the allegation, So let's mention the response.

281
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: Mark Poletta, who was the chief of staff for Mike

282
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Pence and Mike pens and his people have more than

283
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: enough for reason to hate Donald Trump, said of General

284
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: Kelly's allegations that Trump was a Hitler fan, which came

285
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: out in a bunch of articles two years ago, it's

286
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: worth mentioning, Uh, Polticist, I worked in the White House

287
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: with John Kelly. I don't believe of a word he

288
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: says is a terrible chief of staff who dishonestly kept

289
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: information from the president to pursue his own agenda. An

290
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: unelected former military official substituting his judgment for.

291
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: The duly elected president.

292
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: Heir two examples, and he gives several pretty good examples

293
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: of Kelly being blatantly dishonest. And then this is Martha

294
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: McCallum and Nick Airs, who's a different aid sixty.

295
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 6: Please, Michael, so tell me why have you decided to

296
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 6: speak out?

297
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: Well, I know the President personally, Martha, he is my

298
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: friend and I know his heart, and this unequivocally did

299
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: not happen, full stop. John Kelly was never to shy to,

300
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: you know, to point out the senior staff when he

301
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: differed with the president, often behind President Trump's back. So

302
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: I can assure you had those comments been made, the

303
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 5: national media would have known, all of us would have

304
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 5: known instantly.

305
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: That's interesting. I'm sorry. That was Pence's chief of staff.

306
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Pouletta has been a White House counsel involved in white

307
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: houses going back to Bush forty one.

308
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: One of his other chiefest as, Mick mulvaney, says, he

309
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: did a bunch of phone calls this week around other

310
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: people that were in a lot of rooms of Trump,

311
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: said did you ever hear anything like that? And they

312
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 3: all said they didn't, and he's not really a Trump fan.

313
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: Did not yet. Armstrong and Geeddy.

314
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 6: Trump actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in nineteen

315
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 6: thirty nine. Neo Nazis fascists in America.

316
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: We have a new winner, that's Hillary Clinton, and we

317
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: got eleven days to go, so there's plenty of running

318
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: room left in this race. But that is so far

319
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: the craziest ass anybody has said, and that is saying something.

320
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton claiming that Trump's Madison Square Garden rally tonight

321
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 3: is reenacting the famous I you've ever seen. The pictures

322
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: are amazing nineteen thirty nine Nazi rally and Madison Square Garden.

323
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: So just out of curiosity, is Hillary going to accuse

324
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: the New York Knickerbockers of recreating the nineteen thirty nine

325
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Nazi rally or the or that known fascist Billy Joel

326
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: every time he plays MSG is he re enacting the

327
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Nazi rally?

328
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: That is so unbelievable.

329
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: Nate Silver, the polster who I'm about to talk about,

330
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: tweeted out yesterday, in the last two weeks of a

331
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: presidential election, everybody's IQ drops by twenty five points, and

332
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: that seems to be true of like people I know.

333
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: Pundits, journalists, everyone.

334
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: Hillary's main problem, and she would have been at least

335
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: one term president if this were not her problem, is

336
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: that she doesn't know any normal people. She hasn't hung

337
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: out with normal people for probably fifty years and has

338
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: no idea how they think. And I'm sure the last

339
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: probably ten years that she was around quote unquote normal people,

340
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: which probably when Bill was the governor of Arkansas, she

341
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: had nothing but contempt for them.

342
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: Trump's going to reenact the Nazi rally from nineteen thirty

343
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: nine at Madison Square Garden a night. I mean, that

344
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: is full on basket of deplorables talk right there.

345
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: Oh, it's beyond it. I mean it's it's unhinged. Speaking

346
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: of being unhinged. Oh, and I was thinking about something

347
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: you said last segment or so ah, Democratic operatives who

348
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: are about to be part of a losing campaign against

349
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: the unhinged Nazi Trump, an unlosable election which you're about

350
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: to lose, Well, what do we have?

351
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: The walls cut from yesterday where he talks about Trump

352
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: descending into madness.

353
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: Honey, wow, right, yeah, yes, an unhinged fascist do you have?

354
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: I think for many of us, the last twenty four

355
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 7: hours certainly have been a bit shaking with the reporting

356
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 7: coming out in the Atlantic Donald Trump's dissension into madness.

357
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah wow wow. And just when you think something's over

358
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: the top of the a new top. Anyway, what I

359
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: was about to say is, as you pointed out, the

360
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: moment is coming for the Democratic operatives to start finger

361
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: pointing and blaming others so they don't come off as

362
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: the loser, not only because it'd be embarrassing, but that

363
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: would impact their careers absolutely. So the backbiting and blame

364
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: gaming and the rest of it is about to begin.

365
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: And the message I have for democratic operatives is, I

366
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: don't care whether you're like doing a murder podcast or

367
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: videos on guitar stumpboxes, effects or whatever.

368
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: First in matters, Oh yeah, no doubt, First.

369
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: In matters, draw your gun first, David Pluff, any of

370
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: you other ones who's to blame?

371
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: Even Brock Brock. You don't want to be tied to

372
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 2: a loser. Start blaming.

373
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: So poster Nate Silver used to run five thirty eight.

374
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: He's since left it, and he ran in five thirty eight.

375
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 3: Now he got his own thing. But anyway, he wrote

376
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: a guest essay the New York Times Nate Silver, here's

377
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: what my gut says about the election, And he talks

378
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: about how incredibly close it is, and he says it's

379
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: it's kind of ridiculous to make a prediction with the

380
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: polls diff close. He said, Yet, when I deliver this

381
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: unsatisfying news to people, because I'm sure, can you imagine

382
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 3: being him. It's like this guy in town who's the

383
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: TV weatherman, the best known TV weather man you're.

384
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: Telling me about.

385
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 3: One night when we're drinking, he's telling me about how

386
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: his life is hell because everybody asks him what the

387
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: weather's going to be like, and then they're mad at

388
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: him if it doesn't turn out to be the same way.

389
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: Hey, I had a soccer game with my kids, and

390
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 2: you said it wouldn't write. You know that sort of.

391
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: Stuff, like, yes, sometimes it does, or there are things

392
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: I'd like to talk about other than what the weather

393
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: is going to be believe it or not.

394
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 8: Right.

395
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: Yes, but imagine if you're Nate Silver, could you ever

396
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: be at a dinner party or anything without having to

397
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: talk about current polling on something Anyway? He said, when

398
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: I deliver this unsatisfying news that it's too close to predict,

399
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: I get a question, Come on, Nate, what's your gut say? So, okay,

400
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. My gut says Donald Trump. And my

401
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: guess is that that's true for many anxious Democrats. So

402
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 3: that's what Nate Silver said. He said, here's another counterintuitive finding.

403
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: It's surprisingly likely that the election will not be a

404
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: photo finish with polling averages so close, even a small

405
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: systematic polling error like the one the industry experienced in

406
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: sixteen or twenty could produce a comfortable electoral college victory

407
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: for Harris or Trump.

408
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: According to my models.

409
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 3: And he runs all the numbers and through a computer

410
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 3: model thingy, and you believe it or you don't. He said,

411
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: there's about a sixty percent chance that one quantity candidate

412
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 3: will sweep at least six of the seven battleground states. Wow,

413
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: that's interesting. Isn't so sixty percent chance that somebody will

414
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 3: win six of the seven, in which case we'll have

415
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: a clear winner.

416
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: Although if the.

417
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: Numbers are small enough in the individual states, you can

418
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 3: still get into some real difficult you know, law fair.

419
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: Especially given and this is worth considering, but people don't

420
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: want to for whatever reason, especially considering the huge number

421
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: of mail in ballots, which are much more prone to

422
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: being questioned. You gotta have the postmark and this date

423
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: and this and the signature, and the signature's got a

424
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: match and the rest of it.

425
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 3: So if they the Pennsylvania doesn't start counting until that morning,

426
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: so it'd be it would have to be a blowout

427
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 3: for Trump for them to be able to call it

428
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: that day. Although the way the early voting's going in

429
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 3: the turnout, it could be a blowout. But if they

430
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: were able to call, say Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, all

431
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: East coast states, it's over, it's over. It doesn't matter

432
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: what happens anywhere else.

433
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: Trump is one.

434
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, and I wish I'd

435
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: thought of this earlier. I really need to make notes

436
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: or more notes. Brett Baer last night on Special Report

437
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: had his what is it the reaching across the aisle

438
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: or whatever?

439
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: Both sides now, the segment body language segment.

440
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's like the bipartisan thinging. But he

441
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of former governors of North Carolina on

442
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: to refute the idea that the voting was going to

443
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: be fast and loose or crooked or whatever, and they

444
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: did a very very nice job. And one of my

445
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: favorite parts, Roy Cooper's the fairly moderate left Democrat governor

446
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: of the purple state of North Carolina right now, and

447
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: the former Republican governor said that the Secretary of State's Office,

448
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: whoever's in charge of North Carolina, I'm not really familiar

449
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: with it, but whoever's in charge of voting under the

450
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: Democratic administration has done a whale of a job making

451
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: sure that the people in all those battered red counties

452
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: from Hurricane Helene. They've done fabulous work in making sure everybody's.

453
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: Vote is counted.

454
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: Heroic work in those red counties. That's America. Friends, Let's

455
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: not forget that you still exists. Yeah, that's the way

456
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: most people are. The vast majority of people.

457
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 3: As you saw when Trump was trying to you overturn

458
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty election, there were all kinds of Republicans

459
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: and Republican states, some of them been appointed by him

460
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: and said, no, it's just not happening, dude.

461
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just those things didn't happen, right, right.

462
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: And remember there are foreign agents, primarily Russia and Iran

463
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: and China as well, who are going to take every

464
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: single rumor of a problem with the vote and amplify

465
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: that and supply you video that may or may not

466
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: be real, or may or may not be related, and

467
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: try to whip us up into hatred of each other.

468
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: That is their fondest goal. To not be a tool

469
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: of the Communists or the Russians or the Mullahs, please.

470
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Russians, I woke up to the headline

471
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: that Elon Musk has been in contact directly with Putin,

472
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: So I want to talk.

473
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: About that in just a second.

474
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: But a couple other Elon Musk for you things real quick,

475
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: and man, I like a lot about Elon. There's a

476
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff Elon does that I think I wish

477
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: you wouldn't do. But you know whatever, it'd be cool

478
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: to be able to just do whatever the hell you want,

479
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: wouldn't it. He might be that he seems like among

480
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 3: the more carefree people in public life.

481
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm just I just do my thing.

482
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: Man. I say what I want, I do what I want.

483
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 3: I pursue what I want. Sometimes I fail, sometimes to succeed.

484
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: I just move on. It's really quite amazing.

485
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 3: But anyway, Musk, the world's richest man spending huge sums

486
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: to help elect Trump, says CNN.

487
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: But here's here's the numbers.

488
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: He's donated so far one hundred and twenty million to

489
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: Trump and forty four million just this month. So the

490
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: closing months he's into it for forty four million dollars

491
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: already of his own money, although, as Charlie Cook pointed,

492
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: out today for whatever reason, obvious reasons. Actually, the Democrats

493
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: have their own crew of billionaires. Yeah, lots of them,

494
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: and they.

495
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: Spend tons of money all the time, and nobody pays

496
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: the attention. No, that's not worthy of report.

497
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: Billionaires mony on a Republican all of a sudden, Oh

498
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: my god, oligarchy, fascism, something or other. But anyway, so

499
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: Trump's Elon's in for a lot of money. And today

500
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: given a speech, he said, disinformation is a propaganda word

501
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: that is one hundred percent true.

502
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so as it.

503
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: Presumes that there is one side that is capable of

504
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: defining what is true and what is not, and that

505
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: you must trust them because they will be godlike in

506
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: their wisdom.

507
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, plenty of the things called disinformation were just facts

508
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: during the whole COVID thing. So it's a propaganda word.

509
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: Reminds me of the term fact check, which is not

510
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: at all what it claims to be in practice.

511
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: So I didn't click on the headline Elon Musk and

512
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: direct talks with Putin.

513
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: What is that story? It's interesting? It's should I be scared?

514
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: Should it be very alarmed?

515
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 8: Uh?

516
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: Well, only if you're alarmed by fascism and Nazis.

517
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 2: No, it's there. It's mostly just interesting.

518
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is one of the leading figures in space

519
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: exploration as obviously, and if you want to talk about

520
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: he is the leading figure, right And if you want

521
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: to talk about robust space programs, it's the United States

522
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: and Russia. And so yeah, he's in contact with the

523
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: Russians from time to time. He also was asked by

524
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: Putin on behalf of shijin Ping not to.

525
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: Fire up starlink around Taiwan. Oh wow, the way he

526
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: did around Ukraine in the early days.

527
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: Right, So there are at least troubling entanglements that he

528
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: could find himself in, Oh, no doubt, given the fact

529
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: that he's a multinational player in technology.

530
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something that Ian Bremer's written a lot about.

531
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: There's never been a situation where an individual could weigh

532
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 3: in on world events like this, whether it's Zuckerberg in

533
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: an election with Facebook or Elon. You know, beginning of

534
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: the war, Russia knocks out all the communications, I'll drop

535
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: a bunch of my starlink stuff so Ukraine can talk

536
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: to each other, which may have, according to David sangerbook,

537
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: may have been the difference.

538
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: And whether or not.

539
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: Ukraine fell in those first few days, Elon jumping in

540
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: with the starlink.

541
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

542
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: And so he could play the same role or not

543
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 3: in Taiwan, and who knows what pushes in what direction.

544
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: I think he would. I think he's a freedom guy.

545
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, like you, I'm mostly a big fan of Elon.

546
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: But it is, without questioning, a new paradigm. Forgive me

547
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: for using the word to paradigm to have individuals with

548
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: a nation state like state like influence over events.

549
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: True, and it's interesting that it's one person's decision, but

550
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: in terms of doing the right thing or the wrong thing,

551
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, when we were sanctioning Sadam Hussein and France

552
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: was claiming to be on our side, they were doing

553
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: business with them behind the scenes like their own personal reasons,

554
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: So it wasn't one person's decision.

555
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: But you know, did you know this Elon has deep

556
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: ties with US military intelligence agencies and has top secret

557
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: security clearance.

558
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: I did know that only from reading David Sanger's book. Yeah,

559
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: oh okay, yeah, yeah.

560
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: We can talk more about this in the days to

561
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: come if you like. It's it's intriguing. I don't see

562
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: any like obvious wrongdoing or anything. But again it's a

563
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: it's a new paradigm and one that we must consider

564
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: these significance of a.

565
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah and just a tech world in general. It was

566
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: it was Microsoft people that alerted our government to Russia's

567
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: going Now our military Pentagon government found out when the

568
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 3: Ukraine Russia was starting to work against Ukraine from Microsoft

569
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: because they had the ability to get that information that

570
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: nobody else could.

571
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: Wow, it is interesting. Well, we'll finished strong coming up.

572
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: Reminding you that fact checker David Muir during the obnaxious

573
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: ABC debate said President Trump, as you know, the FBI

574
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.

575
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: We fact checked the fact check and I just wanted

576
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: to throw in this that we were absolutely right. Crime

577
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: is on the rise according to the National Crime Victimization Survey,

578
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: which is a much much more thorough way of looking

579
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: into crime than the FBI statistics for reasons that we've

580
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: described in the past. But as that survey has now

581
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: been published and more and more stats come out, this

582
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: is so interesting. Most troublingly, perhaps a smaller percentage of

583
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: robbery victims were reported to police, down twenty two percent

584
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, sixty four percent reported robbery,

585
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: which is taking your stuff from your person like a

586
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: burglary had it went from sixty four percent to forty

587
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: two percent in a couple of years.

588
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: Who've been remote.

589
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Vehicle thefts being even reported went from eighty one percent

590
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: to seventy two percent. Americans have been comes so cynical

591
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: and discouraged that law enforcement will do anything about crime.

592
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: They don't even bother to call dad.

593
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: You're you get robbed at gunpoint or knife point, or

594
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: however they threaten you to take your stuff, and you

595
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: don't even call the police.

596
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: That's a rough way to live.

597
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the highest crime areas of America which frequently

598
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: have minority victims. If that sort of thing matters to you,

599
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: there's no point in calling the cops. You'd probably create

600
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: more trouble for yourself by getting the law involved because

601
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: your area is lawless.

602
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: David Mure You, Well, there's Jack Gan, there's Joe Man.

603
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: It's time to put the show with that couple. Kadie

604
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: Green and Michael Langelo. They're re friends. They're like dad,

605
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: they're on my radio, so let's here. They're clowning class

606
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: people or they have to go.

607
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Well, if you've never had stabbed by a clown nightmares,

608
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: you're about to right.

609
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night

610
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: screaming with that in my head. Hell that well, why

611
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: was that so frightening? I don't know, I'm chilled. Here's

612
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

613
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the

614
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: crew to wrap up the show in the week.

615
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: Mike Langelower, technical director, will lead the way. Michael Well,

616
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

617
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: What got into me this year, but I win.

618
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 5: I bought full size candy bars to give out to Halloween.

619
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: So nice. Yep, I'm gonna be that house this year.

620
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: That's the big big bars.

621
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: My kids still remember the old grandma who gave out

622
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: full size Snickers.

623
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: Wow, Katie Green are esteemed Newswoman.

624
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: As a final thought, Katie, I am participating in a

625
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: costume contest tomorrow and I will be going as a

626
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: giant pickle, so wish me luck coolow and thanks to Hanson,
