Speaker 1: all right, go go, Mr President, wake up Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty Why from the studio seeing the order. It is
Speaker 1: a dimly lit room, deeper than the bowels of the
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getting Communications compound. And hey everybody today we're
Speaker 1: under the tutelage of our general manager John Bolton's beard
Speaker 1: is a beard? Now, no never has That's my point.
Speaker 1: The mustache, yes, the beard? Where is it? What is
Speaker 1: he hiding? Why? No beard? So do we have access
Speaker 1: to that little Biden clip? He just that just happened
Speaker 1: just before the intro. Okay, hold On sens the music
Speaker 1: before we gotta play this because I had heard it described,
Speaker 1: I hadn't actually heard it. Oh boy, I heard a
Speaker 1: Biden came out of his cave yesterday and and I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: he sounds like he's got a cold or or something
Speaker 1: or a foot in the grave. He's got a cold
Speaker 1: or a foot in the grave. And I thought it
Speaker 1: was interesting because Trump had tweeted he had two points.
Speaker 1: The first point was why is Biden hiding? Is it
Speaker 1: because he can only read things on a teleprompter? You
Speaker 1: know whatever, That's your kind of typical shot. But then
Speaker 1: the next, the next blast from Trump against Biden was
Speaker 1: did they think the more he's exposed, the worst he does?
Speaker 1: And I thought, well, that is exactly what they're doing,
Speaker 1: and most strategy agree. Biden has said it out loud. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he would he would agree with that. Um
Speaker 1: that yeah. But anyway, so this this is one of
Speaker 1: his statements. Here, folks. If you thought Trump v. Hillary
Speaker 1: was a trouble election, Trump v. Near dead Biden is
Speaker 1: whole boy and heard the American He's a president who
Speaker 1: would do the work. I'm ready in day one after
Speaker 1: more than three years in office, Why isn't Donald Trump ready?
Speaker 1: Mr President? Wake up? Wow, get to work. There's so
Speaker 1: much more to be done. Wow. If Jeb was low energy,
Speaker 1: there's more. Thank you, Holy that was the end. That
Speaker 1: was the hammer. That was quite something that would drop him.
Speaker 1: Wake up. And then like five seconds past thank you
Speaker 1: with the little breath he had left. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: if you have an earpiece in it, And there was
Speaker 1: one of his campaign trying to wake up, and he
Speaker 1: just repeated what they were saying to him. Up and
Speaker 1: there's the left foot, both feet in the grave, like O,
Speaker 1: thank you, Mr wake up? Wow. I thought when I
Speaker 1: heard him yesterday, I thought, does he have a cold
Speaker 1: or something? That that that made me sad. What he
Speaker 1: has is a case of mortality. He got a cute mortality,
Speaker 1: acute case of the time. I'm gonna need you to
Speaker 1: sit down. You have what we refer to as calendaritis.
Speaker 1: He've been around far too long. Just turn around. I
Speaker 1: need to look at the back of your neck. I'm
Speaker 1: taking your expiration data. It's best buy. Um. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking on the way in if I
Speaker 1: were like a regular person, didn't have this job. Even
Speaker 1: with this job, I want to do it, But um
Speaker 1: I would I'd like like hike the Appalachian Trail the
Speaker 1: week before the election, in the week after the election,
Speaker 1: miss all of that week run up and all the
Speaker 1: craziness election day, the aftermath, in the week after, regardless
Speaker 1: of how it turns out out and then come back
Speaker 1: and somebody can tell me who's president that time and
Speaker 1: I'll just say, Okay, anyway, that's fine and move on
Speaker 1: with my life. But the the the dust up the
Speaker 1: week before, in the week after, it's gonna be exhausting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be eating could I need to
Speaker 1: start working out, eating vegetables to be physically ready for
Speaker 1: a grueling couple of weeks. Start eating vegetables. He's serious, folks,
Speaker 1: trust me. Wow. Yeah, I pray that is not the case.
Speaker 1: Like I said the other day, whoever wins, I hope
Speaker 1: it's a blowout. It would be good for the country
Speaker 1: because if it's close either way, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a disaster. I think that's entirely possible. Yeah, um, this
Speaker 1: is the president away, Mr President, wake up, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. That was weaker than John McCain's thank you
Speaker 1: when Joe the Flower didn't show up at the rally. Well, all,
Speaker 1: Joe the plumber, we might have to later compare the two.
Speaker 1: Thank you little compare and contrassed to be enlightening a
Speaker 1: couple of old friends there. Good point, yes, um uh
Speaker 1: so yeah, well that's something. Let's introduce somebody in the
Speaker 1: squad calendaritis. Uh there's Michael Angelo, our board operator, pressent
Speaker 1: button slipping all those pullinge levers here this morning. Michael,
Speaker 1: I've been all right, um, do your spouse's backseat drive
Speaker 1: because I having an issue with my fiance back seat driving.
Speaker 1: The other day. We were driving down the road and
Speaker 1: GJ just goes look out, look out, look out, look out,
Speaker 1: and she doesn't say what, So I have no idea.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes she does, y'all, honey, honey, honey, you stop. Stop,
Speaker 1: And I don't know if she's having a physical problem.
Speaker 1: So I started like almost swerving the car to avoid
Speaker 1: something that I don't know what. I'm looking for a break?
Speaker 1: What what do you want if you've got a backseat drive,
Speaker 1: Describe what in detail what the problem is, you know,
Speaker 1: car on the right, look out for that truck, you know,
Speaker 1: don't just start screaming and you know, well, I we
Speaker 1: had early in our relationship. I made it clear to
Speaker 1: Judy because I usually drive that, please don't if on
Speaker 1: a rare occasion, usually just in an emergency, I'm exceeding
Speaker 1: the posted speed limit, don't say. Hey, Up on the right,
Speaker 1: a little past that bridge, the blue bridge up there
Speaker 1: with the blue paint. Yes, over there, just beyond it,
Speaker 1: you'll see a police officer and I'm by that time
Speaker 1: I've passed it. Me so, and I discussed it, and
Speaker 1: the new policy is just a cop cop puzz right.
Speaker 1: That's what many of my friends would do. That's that's
Speaker 1: how you know when you see a cop? Why are
Speaker 1: you in a gang? We got it from outcast. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I have had that experience and oh no, and I
Speaker 1: think should I stop? Speed up? Are you choking? Which?
Speaker 1: Which of the many scenarios that are possible is when
Speaker 1: I was just choking, I would just drive immediately into
Speaker 1: the ditch. Michael, That's what I would suggest, probably good advice.
Speaker 1: It was. It was quite interesting and some of you
Speaker 1: know this probably from watching TV. Many of you don't.
Speaker 1: We're doing a ride along with the San Francisco Police Department.
Speaker 1: A number of years ago in one of the more
Speaker 1: uh difficult districts of that increasingly formerly great city. But
Speaker 1: we rolled into a housing project with the coppers and
Speaker 1: immediately echoing from end end to this giant like apartment
Speaker 1: that was several acres. You heard who everywhere? Has everybody
Speaker 1: learned everybody else that the coppers were on hand? It
Speaker 1: was interesting they could teach my wife something. Now she knows. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on the on this
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, little Friday, June eighteenth, the year were Armstrong
Speaker 1: and getting We approved of this program. Thank you. Let's
Speaker 1: begin officially now. According to CC rules and regulations at Mark,
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is pro moding the extremist. I'm because Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is actually his site. The Zuckerberg site has actually
Speaker 1: set up set up like add promotions that actually push
Speaker 1: people towards expremis. Yp Scarborough is yelling about Facebook. Apparently
Speaker 1: there that's a joy Scarborough. Um, yeah, it seems to
Speaker 1: me just from watching the MSNBC, is that Facebook is
Speaker 1: the right wing crazy channel. Now according to MSNBC, okay,
Speaker 1: for those what's the rights Twitter, it's it's gonna be Facebook,
Speaker 1: And I don't know how terms would feel about that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, which is interesting because you know, it's certainly
Speaker 1: not what Martin Zuckerberg's politics are, so Mark Zuckerberg him.
Speaker 1: He also just Joe Scarborough there, he's uh, he's also angry.
Speaker 1: There was a lot, apparently of the stuff about him
Speaker 1: murdering that girl. Um was floating around Facebook and not
Speaker 1: being taken down. And he's claiming that some of the
Speaker 1: guidelines or whatever. Um, how's mail bag? Look? Oh, it's
Speaker 1: it's nice, a little humor, a little insight, good, good,
Speaker 1: well balanced, like your diet now that you're eating vegetables.
Speaker 1: Some of those towns in Arizona I visited a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago are now passing ordinances that you have
Speaker 1: to wear masks. So remember I was astonished that it's
Speaker 1: as if the virus doesn't even exist here. It's like
Speaker 1: in a life. Well, they've decided that was a bad
Speaker 1: idea right in the midst of when I was there,
Speaker 1: So I gotta admit I'm keeping an eye on getting
Speaker 1: any symptoms and need to check in with my parents also,
Speaker 1: since we are all, you know, out and about and
Speaker 1: around them and they're they're old Uh yeah, some of
Speaker 1: the places where they were not treating it quite as
Speaker 1: as scary. I've changed their mind. They would seem, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's sensible. If you don't have many cases, you don't
Speaker 1: have much exposure, it's just not a problem. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: be acting like it's a big problem. The key is,
Speaker 1: you know, not acting too late, especially if you're on
Speaker 1: the older side or more vulnerable. Uh So, I got
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, we got all this stuff to catch you
Speaker 1: up on. We'll have to listen to the more energetic
Speaker 1: Joe Biden compare and contrasting with the energetic John McCain
Speaker 1: from back in the day. I think that's really a
Speaker 1: good comparison right there. Our text line is FO five
Speaker 1: k f TC are strong and show. See former Sex
Speaker 1: Death and c I chief Robert and Gates yesterday saying
Speaker 1: they should take those Confederate generals off of our basis.
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. That decides it for me.
Speaker 1: I'm now fully in that camp. Yeah, I like old
Speaker 1: man Gates and he man good. But he said we
Speaker 1: don't have a fort Ulysses grant. Yeah, how can that be? Well,
Speaker 1: it can't be saved the union. You can't you can't
Speaker 1: have that. They don't have a Fort Patton in spite
Speaker 1: of the soldier slap an incident. Well, the grand one
Speaker 1: is particularly uh makes the point because most of these
Speaker 1: are named after Confederate generals. If we're on a Confederate
Speaker 1: if we're on a Civil War kick for naming basis,
Speaker 1: you might want to throw in the winning general. I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, yeah, that was an excellent point. Mailbag down.
Speaker 1: There's part of me the things. It's kind of cool
Speaker 1: that this country, you know, we healed and came together,
Speaker 1: and and part of the healing process was Okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: Proberty Lee was an honorable man, and he was doing
Speaker 1: what he thought was right. All Right, we'll name stuff
Speaker 1: after him. Okay, we don't hate chi. We want you
Speaker 1: back in the Union. It's the very American thing to do.
Speaker 1: It's it's a little odd anyway. I didn't go to
Speaker 1: a Grant grade school. I think school named Grants. So
Speaker 1: there are schools named after but no major military basis.
Speaker 1: Never in my life have I attended a school named
Speaker 1: after anything except the town I lived in. I guess
Speaker 1: that town just wasn't in the name of the things.
Speaker 1: I went to a Jefferson. I went to a grant.
Speaker 1: I went to a number of schools. I went to
Speaker 1: a Suttur there you go, oh California, probably, Well, what
Speaker 1: was the school I went to? Kindergarten? I think it
Speaker 1: was just like, uh, you know, it's just named after
Speaker 1: where it was. More or less. Um, I've never had
Speaker 1: these issues. Here's your freedom, love and quote of the day.
Speaker 1: It's from Evie Lucas. I didn't know Evie Lucas, so
Speaker 1: I went googling around her. I'm binging around. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Google is evil. He was a humoriston writer lived from
Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds into like the nineteen thirties or something.
Speaker 1: He was a brit A thinker. He said, the truth
Speaker 1: is the only thing worth having, and in a civilized
Speaker 1: life like ours, where so many risks are removed, facing
Speaker 1: it is almost the only courageous thing left to do.
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty good stuff, and I went
Speaker 1: looking for more E. V. Lucas quotes and I found
Speaker 1: lists of them, and none of them was very good.
Speaker 1: Apparently this was his you know, shot her and around
Speaker 1: the world. But that's a great quote. Facing the truth
Speaker 1: is about the most courageous thing we can do. These days.
Speaker 1: There's some quote from Orwell, though I don't have it memorized,
Speaker 1: about how difficult that is. Though sometimes even when it's
Speaker 1: right in front of your nose, it's just and everybody's
Speaker 1: pitching a different version of it too. Here's a note
Speaker 1: from Hendricks. I'm sorry, Hendrick. This is on the topic
Speaker 1: of Aunt Jemima, the Syrup brand mascot. I believe there's
Speaker 1: a Miss Buttersworth controversy today actually, so we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: The syrup battles so Uh, the PepsiCo that owns Uh
Speaker 1: and Miamma. The aunt Jemima brand has ended it because
Speaker 1: of racist connotations that nobody's quite sure what they mean.
Speaker 1: But um, I guess in the past it wasn't anyway.
Speaker 1: The name itself was from like a play about I
Speaker 1: think that the slave Mammy that that kind of archetype
Speaker 1: with the actual name fair enough, and the idea that
Speaker 1: a slave mammy came up with a great syrup recipe
Speaker 1: is bad. That's that's what I don't get it. Hendrik
Speaker 1: Rice says young immigrant. Many years ago, I moved into
Speaker 1: my own place for the first time, go to the
Speaker 1: grocery store. I bought food, toiletries, cleaning suplies. I was
Speaker 1: not fluent in English, so I relied in many cases
Speaker 1: on pictures on the products I thought I needed and
Speaker 1: the cleaning supply section. I noticed a bottle with a
Speaker 1: picture of a bald headed muscular man. I decided to
Speaker 1: buy it. I used it for spills, clumsy Baba. Ever
Speaker 1: since then, I've had very favorable first impressions when I
Speaker 1: meet bald headed muscular men. This goes to your point
Speaker 1: that I don't think using the syrup has led me
Speaker 1: to any negative feelings about black women. I never thought
Speaker 1: about it at all, right, and I certainly didn't look
Speaker 1: up his privilege. I certainly didn't look up the history.
Speaker 1: The first green giant I see, Jolly are not is
Speaker 1: getting a earful for me to right or otherwise? Dan writes,
Speaker 1: Now if another company uses the aunt Jemiama logo, will
Speaker 1: PepsiCo sue saying they own her? Oh that's uh, that's uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: Mike says, I fear for the nation. As we approached
Speaker 1: in November election, good chance the virus will still be
Speaker 1: impacting our movements. Walking not bowel and blanket and mail
Speaker 1: voting is already in place, and and he imagines the
Speaker 1: scenario that you imagine, Jack, Um, there are widespread reports
Speaker 1: of voter fraud, missing ballants, people that couldn't get into
Speaker 1: the polls, et cetera. Um, and and the media will
Speaker 1: frame it is Trump trying to stay in office pass
Speaker 1: January the usual. Trump declares without evidence and it just
Speaker 1: melts down. Either way, we'll have another case of the
Speaker 1: Scotis deciding when to stop investigations. And we know how
Speaker 1: well that worked for Bush. The Internet and cell phone
Speaker 1: videos are single handedly changing our nation culture for the worst.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I agree with that completely with its Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't need to the internet is I don't know
Speaker 1: about cell phone videos we're seeing in It allows you
Speaker 1: to for the videos to fly around. Yeah. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: how much time do we have my thirty seconds? We
Speaker 1: don't really have time, um Her Alex from Terrytown. I
Speaker 1: found a couple of things. One of that was the
Speaker 1: White House Gift Shop selling commemorative coins for how well
Speaker 1: the government is doing in his fight against COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: That's making you know, it's going around left laning circles.
Speaker 1: The White House Gift Shop is not affiliated with the
Speaker 1: White House. It's just a gift shop. They can sell
Speaker 1: whatever they want, ulysses, grant, bubble heads, commemorative coind whatever,
Speaker 1: Armstrong and see Armstrong Andy Show, quake up. Thank you.
Speaker 1: So that's our clip of the day. We'll be digging
Speaker 1: into that in more detail coming up later than you.
Speaker 1: That was so Biden's impassioned. He came out of the
Speaker 1: basement for a for a little statement. He hasn't done
Speaker 1: taken questions. I think you're incorrect. I think that is
Speaker 1: one nursing home resident to another. I mean that is
Speaker 1: that had the feel of hey, they're servant, jella, wake up,
Speaker 1: wake up, thank you, thank you you. Oh. I'm saddened
Speaker 1: by that. I hear a man and I believe him
Speaker 1: to be a good man. Misguided in many cases, he's
Speaker 1: been wrong about all sorts of foreign policy things, but
Speaker 1: I think it has sold Joe Biden's a good man,
Speaker 1: and I swear I am having a When you're ready
Speaker 1: to ride Metro, we want you to know we're ready
Speaker 1: for you. Here are just a few of the people
Speaker 1: at Metro to tell you how we're doing our part
Speaker 1: to keep riders safe. Were cleaning before you've found Hassoun
Speaker 1: of Sis of statist, no masks, no metro me one.
Speaker 1: We have a few extras at Metro. We're doing our
Speaker 1: part to keep the DC area moving. Find out more
Speaker 1: at well mata dot com slash doing our part. We
Speaker 1: begin today's meditation with a few sipping exercises to remind
Speaker 1: us a little treat can go a long way. So
Speaker 1: pick up your McCafe iced coffees, close your eyes, and
Speaker 1: deep sipping and deep satisfaction out. Take a treat retreat
Speaker 1: at McDonald's right now. Get mccaffee iced coffee in any
Speaker 1: size and any flavor for just nine cents until a
Speaker 1: m participation may ary. Deep human reaction like my caveman
Speaker 1: brain is telling me, oh, he's near death. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Unlike one of those dogs that can
Speaker 1: smell cancer, I can hear he's dying. Wow. I can
Speaker 1: hear when people are dying. And it's it's it's hit
Speaker 1: me and my soul. Uh. Some more on that later.
Speaker 1: A couple of more coffee, A couple of big news headlines.
Speaker 1: We need to hitch with one. The unemployment numbers always
Speaker 1: come out on Thursday, and they're just out another million
Speaker 1: and a half people filed for unemployment help and uh,
Speaker 1: that brings the number up to forty five million somewhere.
Speaker 1: Is it that many? It can't be that many, is it.
Speaker 1: It's a heck of a lot. It's a lot um uh,
Speaker 1: and that those are still just experience, way down from
Speaker 1: where it was, but it's still it's just an extraordinary humer.
Speaker 1: If this number had hit out of the blue in January,
Speaker 1: it would be the only thing on the news all
Speaker 1: day long and be like, holy cow, what has happened? Yeah, oh, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: because there's never been anything like the number that came
Speaker 1: out today ever prior to, you know, ten weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So that's worth mentioning and maybe talking about again later.
Speaker 1: So the charges did come out yesterday from the on
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Police Department Fulton County charging that officer who
Speaker 1: shot the dude at the Wendy's. If you've been following
Speaker 1: that story, he is facing eleven charges in all, and
Speaker 1: could be sentenced to death in if convicted, felony murder charges.
Speaker 1: In light of that huge uptick in the number of
Speaker 1: officers there in Atlanta calling in sick, um, I'm not
Speaker 1: coming to work, Atlanta announced we do have enough officers
Speaker 1: to keep the city safe. But we have had an
Speaker 1: uptick in the number of officers calling out of work tonight.
Speaker 1: That's right after the chargers came in. It's interesting we
Speaker 1: played that clip. Maybe we had to play it again.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what time in the show we played it.
Speaker 1: That Georgia sheriff who's been training training officers in Atlanta
Speaker 1: for years, as he said, hundreds officers over all kinds
Speaker 1: of counties for years, and he said that was a
Speaker 1: perfectly justified shooting. Um he's a black guy, by the way,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he's right. I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not a lawyer or whatever.
Speaker 1: But that's an interesting conundrum there. You got a guy
Speaker 1: who's trained officers all over the states in in in
Speaker 1: that state saying that wasn't okay shooting, and he got
Speaker 1: charges of felony murder with the with the death penalty
Speaker 1: hanging out there. Um. Well, the the latest is that
Speaker 1: video has emerged of the cop after the the gentleman
Speaker 1: was down shot of kicking him, and the thinking on
Speaker 1: the prosecutors is that helps established that he wasn't shooting
Speaker 1: them in any public interest. He was shooting him because
Speaker 1: he was super angry that the guy had fought him.
Speaker 1: You know that certainly was not cool that he kicked him.
Speaker 1: The other guy stood on him. I haven't seen the videos.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine any balanced like with both feet. Um.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I I suggested yesterday, and I believe
Speaker 1: I am correct that they were going to overcharge to
Speaker 1: keep peace in the streets. They're gonna go way over
Speaker 1: the top with the charges. And you know, during the
Speaker 1: whole lawyer's john at each other process, a lot of
Speaker 1: those charges will be reduced or dropped and or the
Speaker 1: prosecutors will make sure if it goes to trial, and
Speaker 1: probably will that the jury has multiple options, including lesser charges. Guarantee.
Speaker 1: That's what's happening here. Yeah, Well, the police chief did
Speaker 1: resign immediately. You never know what that means though, there
Speaker 1: are so many different circumstances saying I do know what
Speaker 1: it means. But she did resign immediately, and uh she
Speaker 1: said she was horrified at what she saw. So what
Speaker 1: is trying to keep a city from burning down is?
Speaker 1: And what is what police officers actually think? I don't know,
Speaker 1: right right, hey, And everybody's so on edge if you
Speaker 1: do the wrong thing, everything goes kurb bluie. One more time.
Speaker 1: I just need to hear but after this, after this,
Speaker 1: I need to hear the Biden clip one more time.
Speaker 1: I want to hear his whole ending because it trails.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a downward trend. And Michael, you
Speaker 1: said you have another example, one of the clips of
Speaker 1: him a little longer, but maybe we'll look into that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I have a theory why he's doing that. I
Speaker 1: think he may be overdoing it. But I'll hit you
Speaker 1: what why Joe Biden is taking the I'm just so
Speaker 1: calm approach. Okay, you could probably read my mind. But
Speaker 1: first note from our friends. It's simply safe, fabulous sponsor
Speaker 1: of the Armstrong and get a show leaving us on
Speaker 1: the air, so support them best. Overall, home security, according

Speaker 1: all but I wasn't alone. I was raising my concerns.
Speaker 1: But how we need to take this virus seriously? We
Speaker 1: still don't have what we need when it comes to
Speaker 1: rapid results testing, contract contract contact tracing capacity that happens
Speaker 1: I do that every day, stumbling, fumbling, bumbling. I do

Speaker 1: so much more to be done. Will you do that
Speaker 1: this half hour? Second? Nap? No, I won't do that.
Speaker 1: That is a slow pace. So I assume you're you're
Speaker 1: thinking you want to be the contrast to the loud,
Speaker 1: frenetic controversy every day, everybody at each other's throats Trump era.
Speaker 1: But I think you're right. I think he's going a
Speaker 1: little too far. He sounds sorry to throw around medical terms.
Speaker 1: What he sounds outfitting one ft in the grave? Oh
Speaker 1: some of them in Laudon is famous for saying when
Speaker 1: and I never agreed with this and thought it was
Speaker 1: a horrific, But he was famous for saying, when people
Speaker 1: to see two horses fighting, they root for the strong horse,
Speaker 1: and that we just have a human nature to be
Speaker 1: rooting for the strong, the person that appears to be strong.
Speaker 1: How many horse fights have you attended? I have never
Speaker 1: either and and the idea that and the idea that
Speaker 1: if I do see a horse fight, I'm root for
Speaker 1: the one that's dominating the other one to like really
Speaker 1: put an end to it. I just that's not the
Speaker 1: way I would react that as a different sort of person.
Speaker 1: But that was his talking about base human emotions. He
Speaker 1: thought people would rally to the strong side his side. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that factors in with Biden and Trump,
Speaker 1: where you know he's trying. Biden's trying to be, as
Speaker 1: you said, the counterweight to frenetic and loud, but or
Speaker 1: are people going to react with I just think I
Speaker 1: need something with a little more zip exciting He ain't. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, exciting is not what I need out of
Speaker 1: a president. But just I mean subconsciously energizing, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody who makes you well, who gives you energy, energy
Speaker 1: for the country to accomplish something inspiring, little inspired. I
Speaker 1: would love to be in those rooms on the Biden
Speaker 1: campaign where they're making the decisions on how to handle this,
Speaker 1: because this is some really fascinating um what do you
Speaker 1: call it strategy? Um? How to handle this they they
Speaker 1: have It would seem such an opportunity to win if
Speaker 1: people are just tired of the craziness, right, whether whether
Speaker 1: whether a lot of the craziness is Trump's fault or not,
Speaker 1: just people they just you know, I need I need
Speaker 1: to rest. I think everybody feels like they need a
Speaker 1: break from the news cycle. And if to the extent
Speaker 1: that they can feel like, you know, if you got
Speaker 1: rid of Trumpet, would it would be easier? But how
Speaker 1: far can you go with that and keeping your guy
Speaker 1: under wraps. Well, they're looking at the polls and thinking
Speaker 1: so far, so good. Well, yeah, why they put him
Speaker 1: out yesterday? He's going up and they barely did you
Speaker 1: heard the speech? What was the thinking that we need
Speaker 1: to put him out yesterday? Well, they have to have him.
Speaker 1: It's a proof of life video effect. They have to
Speaker 1: have him do something. When Kim Jong un showed up
Speaker 1: at that ribbon cut, right, finally he still alive with
Speaker 1: his nasty sister exactly. You just gotta set the rumors
Speaker 1: to rest that he's dead and then he goes back
Speaker 1: to doing whatever he was doing. In Joe Biden's case,
Speaker 1: it's just watching the polls and you know, honestly, and
Speaker 1: this is proof of what we've been saying for years
Speaker 1: and what y'all have been feeling for years. If Joe
Speaker 1: Biden didn't say a damn syllable, and neither did Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump until let's say October the first, that would be fine.
Speaker 1: About five weeks that would be plus painting. I am awake.
Speaker 1: I think if I'm running, I think I keep him
Speaker 1: under wraps. Have him show up at things like ribbon
Speaker 1: cutting ceremonies. You know that kind of thing where there's
Speaker 1: really nothing to say. You smile and and say night.
Speaker 1: No no speeches, no, no nothing. Maybe you have like
Speaker 1: free go two sentences about it's time we move into
Speaker 1: the future together. You know, just something some just what
Speaker 1: bred nothing, little positive sounding speech you repeat everywhere you
Speaker 1: go and just keep your head down. That's obviously what
Speaker 1: they're doing. Why a lot of our strength is our
Speaker 1: optimism or something. And then you go back in your house.
Speaker 1: Diversity is the strength of America's future. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: I swear I want give him my jello. You know what,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have my jello. I don't he doesn't have
Speaker 1: long He should be happy if he's like that on
Speaker 1: a debate stage. Did the numbers flipping like a day
Speaker 1: to the paramedics over come on. Paramedics are down by
Speaker 1: the stage like the guys in the ring and a
Speaker 1: boxing match. And then right you hear murmuring should we
Speaker 1: should we go in? Is he having an episode? I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it's a democratic party, and I know this
Speaker 1: is a positive. Sean's head is gonna explode, But explode
Speaker 1: the party of allegedly the young and the progressive and
Speaker 1: the innovative. And come on, you got some of these
Speaker 1: great granddad running the guy's barely hanging on. Well he
Speaker 1: put the old back and old white male, no doubt
Speaker 1: about that. Our text line is four nine five a
Speaker 1: k FTC. Hey the NBA teams ready to get back
Speaker 1: to work. Yesterday, the league proposed a hundred thirteen pages
Speaker 1: or of safety rules and procedures for the rest of
Speaker 1: a shortened season. First of all, all the games will
Speaker 1: be played at Disney World, which, right off the bat,
Speaker 1: seems like the least safe place to be during a
Speaker 1: peter pandemic, But they do have many precautions in place.
Speaker 1: The players will be housed together, they'll quarantine ahead of
Speaker 1: time and be tested every day. Players will be discouraged
Speaker 1: from licking their fingers and clearing their noses on the court.
Speaker 1: Were they encouraged to do that before this? UM? And
Speaker 1: uh so, NBA, it looks like is coming back. Hockey
Speaker 1: is going to come back. That's almost certain at this point, NHL,
Speaker 1: so if you like that with no fans obviously, So
Speaker 1: we have a couple of pieces of breaking news. One
Speaker 1: pretty big earthquake off the coast of New Zealand. Hobbits
Speaker 1: run for your lives. So there's tsunami warming mornings in
Speaker 1: this they live in the ground more or less. And
Speaker 1: this which I uh I think means something for the
Speaker 1: whole country. Governor Gavin Newsom of California said he's considering
Speaker 1: announcing mandatory masks for the entire state. So we are
Speaker 1: definitely not moving away from that sort of thing. We're
Speaker 1: moving toward it. Party ideas. So you can keep stuff open,
Speaker 1: I guess, so you don't have to close businesses back down.
Speaker 1: That's all we should have done in the first place.
Speaker 1: Businesses stay open. But we have to wear masks. That's
Speaker 1: what we should have done in the first place, and
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have another million and a half people out
Speaker 1: of work today. Did you hear Dr fauci Is essentially said, yeah,
Speaker 1: we we said, don't wear masks because we didn't want
Speaker 1: you to buy them all up because the first because
Speaker 1: the medical pros needed him. Um, we're just afraid you'd
Speaker 1: all buy all the masks. That is, that is not
Speaker 1: a nine trillion dollar decision. I want him to make
Speaker 1: a nine trillion dollar decision. And that's what they think
Speaker 1: it's gonna end up costing shutting down the economy. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not for sacrificing nurses and doctors to figure something out.
Speaker 1: Figure something out, make it, you know, make it like
Speaker 1: a World War two style. We send every plane we've
Speaker 1: got to other countries something right, but you don't shut
Speaker 1: down the economy. And it cost the nine trillion dollars
Speaker 1: because you're worried about running out of mask. You just can't.
Speaker 1: Very crazy to me. The combination of the modern need
Speaker 1: for complete safety and and our willingness to let governments
Speaker 1: just run our lives, and the flaws of international supply chains. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that too, That is absolutely a good point, especially depending
Speaker 1: on dirty commies for your critical needs. Yes, sir, that
Speaker 1: is who I was referring to. There aren't actually hobbits
Speaker 1: in New Zealand, right, that's just where they filmed those movies.
Speaker 1: You believe what you want to believe this. If you
Speaker 1: go there, can you capture when and bring it home?
Speaker 1: Or is that Scott? They're human more or less? Kind of?
Speaker 1: They looked a lot like humans, Sir, disgusting. You can
Speaker 1: catch you a wizard, though. What you do is you
Speaker 1: put them up on top of your tower and enchant
Speaker 1: them with a naval spell. Then kick him around a
Speaker 1: little bits of the movies, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Keep your eye out for giant moths though, that's how
Speaker 1: they escape, or a bird or something. Anyway, we've observed
Speaker 1: many times recently in recent years, Americans have an odd impulse.
Speaker 1: When they're moved by something, they want to hurl money
Speaker 1: at it via the Internet. And sometimes it doesn't really
Speaker 1: make any sense. You know, if somebody does something nice,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's three hundred thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: to go fund me for him, which is you know,
Speaker 1: I like the idea of rewarding or whatever. But somebody's
Speaker 1: a victim of something and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they're rich. A small nonprofit is feeling the heat, oddly enough,
Speaker 1: after receiving more than thirty million dollars in the wake
Speaker 1: of George Floyd's death. According to The New York Times,
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which had only one full time
Speaker 1: worker earlier this month, became a popular cause somehow for
Speaker 1: activists and celebrity donors. Now the fund says it's spent
Speaker 1: two dollars on bailing people out since since protests began,
Speaker 1: and his work on working on doing more. So that's
Speaker 1: their main expenditure of bailing out looters. But uh, blah
Speaker 1: blah bah. A number of critics of now a murd Yes,
Speaker 1: the backlash, including the Chima Levy Armstrong, former head of
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is in double a CP. This is unacceptable. She tweeted.
Speaker 1: We literally have buildings burning down North Minneapolis and black
Speaker 1: businesses and families without essential resources, and there's not a
Speaker 1: single black person on your board who Indeed, the Funds
Speaker 1: board appears to consist of only white people. But that's
Speaker 1: become yet another hot potato because the funds executive director
Speaker 1: Tanya Hansi has been accused on Facebook of lying about
Speaker 1: her indigenous background. O Boy, Little boy, we gotta bring
Speaker 1: in Elizabeth Warren on this one. Hans says the accusations
Speaker 1: are untrue. And her daughter was Native American on her
Speaker 1: grandfather's side. Her daughter what but now she's an arbitration
Speaker 1: over her job. Meanwhile, the board's former president who left
Speaker 1: over disputes is back. She's black, um and and everybody's
Speaker 1: angry at each other in arguing. Okay, she wants to
Speaker 1: help people impacted by the harms of mass incarceration. All
Speaker 1: anybody knows is they have thirty million dollars and everybody's
Speaker 1: at each other's throats. Thirty million. Yes, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of money to spread around to employees of your organization. Ah. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: this organization will quickly become a profitable racket for somebody.
Speaker 1: A burgeoning chas in Portland gets shut down pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: And we'll check in on the original I would be
Speaker 1: South Chaz. We'll check in on the original chairs in Seattle,
Speaker 1: among other things coming up, arm Strong and Getty. When
