It is 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.880 a dimly lit room, deeper than the bowels of the 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.200 Armstrong and Getting Communications compound. And hey everybody today we're 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.440 under the tutelage of our general manager John Bolton's beard 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:39.959 is a beard? Now, no never has That's my point. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.840 The mustache, yes, the beard? Where is it? What is 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:51.920 he hiding? Why? No beard? So do we have access 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.400 to that little Biden clip? He just that just happened 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.600 just before the intro. Okay, hold On sens the music 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.200 before we gotta play this because I had heard it described, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.280 I hadn't actually heard it. Oh boy, I heard a 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.360 Biden came out of his cave yesterday and and I thought, wow, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.480 he sounds like he's got a cold or or something 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:18.120 or a foot in the grave. He's got a cold 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.520 or a foot in the grave. And I thought it 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.400 was interesting because Trump had tweeted he had two points. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.760 The first point was why is Biden hiding? Is it 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.800 because he can only read things on a teleprompter? You 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.560 know whatever, That's your kind of typical shot. But then 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.960 the next, the next blast from Trump against Biden was 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.600 did they think the more he's exposed, the worst he does? 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.920 And I thought, well, that is exactly what they're doing, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.799 and most strategy agree. Biden has said it out loud. Yeah, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.440 I think he would he would agree with that. Um 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.160 that yeah. But anyway, so this this is one of 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.160 his statements. Here, folks. If you thought Trump v. Hillary 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.600 was a trouble election, Trump v. Near dead Biden is 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.760 whole boy and heard the American He's a president who 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:14.160 would do the work. I'm ready in day one after 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.440 more than three years in office, Why isn't Donald Trump ready? 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:27.520 Mr President? Wake up? Wow, get to work. There's so 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.120 much more to be done. Wow. If Jeb was low energy, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:37.640 there's more. Thank you, Holy that was the end. That 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.680 was the hammer. That was quite something that would drop him. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.840 Wake up. And then like five seconds past thank you 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.800 with the little breath he had left. Oh my gosh, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.400 if you have an earpiece in it, And there was 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.560 one of his campaign trying to wake up, and he 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.800 just repeated what they were saying to him. Up and 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.960 there's the left foot, both feet in the grave, like O, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:07.840 thank you, Mr wake up? Wow. I thought when I 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.640 heard him yesterday, I thought, does he have a cold 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.000 or something? That that that made me sad. What he 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.160 has is a case of mortality. He got a cute mortality, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.680 acute case of the time. I'm gonna need you to 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.039 sit down. You have what we refer to as calendaritis. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.560 He've been around far too long. Just turn around. I 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:30.680 need to look at the back of your neck. I'm 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:37.240 taking your expiration data. It's best buy. Um. Yeah. So 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.200 I was actually thinking on the way in if I 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.840 were like a regular person, didn't have this job. Even 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.960 with this job, I want to do it, But um 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.599 I would I'd like like hike the Appalachian Trail the 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.480 week before the election, in the week after the election, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.599 miss all of that week run up and all the 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.320 craziness election day, the aftermath, in the week after, regardless 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:00.880 of how it turns out out and then come back 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.160 and somebody can tell me who's president that time and 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.760 I'll just say, Okay, anyway, that's fine and move on 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.680 with my life. But the the the dust up the 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.400 week before, in the week after, it's gonna be exhausting. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.680 I'm gonna have to be eating could I need to 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.720 start working out, eating vegetables to be physically ready for 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:23.000 a grueling couple of weeks. Start eating vegetables. He's serious, folks, 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:28.840 trust me. Wow. Yeah, I pray that is not the case. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.520 Like I said the other day, whoever wins, I hope 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.120 it's a blowout. It would be good for the country 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.520 because if it's close either way, it's going to be 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.240 a disaster. I think that's entirely possible. Yeah, um, this 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:46.320 is the president away, Mr President, wake up, thank you, 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.360 thank you. That was weaker than John McCain's thank you 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.400 when Joe the Flower didn't show up at the rally. Well, all, 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.880 Joe the plumber, we might have to later compare the two. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.760 Thank you little compare and contrassed to be enlightening a 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.720 couple of old friends there. Good point, yes, um uh 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.719 so yeah, well that's something. Let's introduce somebody in the 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.960 squad calendaritis. Uh there's Michael Angelo, our board operator, pressent 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.159 button slipping all those pullinge levers here this morning. Michael, 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.160 I've been all right, um, do your spouse's backseat drive 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.760 because I having an issue with my fiance back seat driving. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.440 The other day. We were driving down the road and 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.360 GJ just goes look out, look out, look out, look out, 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.000 and she doesn't say what, So I have no idea. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.679 You know, sometimes she does, y'all, honey, honey, honey, you stop. Stop, 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.760 And I don't know if she's having a physical problem. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.719 So I started like almost swerving the car to avoid 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.120 something that I don't know what. I'm looking for a break? 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.800 What what do you want if you've got a backseat drive, 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.440 Describe what in detail what the problem is, you know, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.520 car on the right, look out for that truck, you know, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.400 don't just start screaming and you know, well, I we 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.960 had early in our relationship. I made it clear to 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.400 Judy because I usually drive that, please don't if on 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.480 a rare occasion, usually just in an emergency, I'm exceeding 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.120 the posted speed limit, don't say. Hey, Up on the right, 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.160 a little past that bridge, the blue bridge up there 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.560 with the blue paint. Yes, over there, just beyond it, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.560 you'll see a police officer and I'm by that time 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:21.240 I've passed it. Me so, and I discussed it, and 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.760 the new policy is just a cop cop puzz right. 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.560 That's what many of my friends would do. That's that's 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:34.200 how you know when you see a cop? Why are 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.720 you in a gang? We got it from outcast. Yeah, okay, 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.080 I have had that experience and oh no, and I 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.800 think should I stop? Speed up? Are you choking? Which? 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.040 Which of the many scenarios that are possible is when 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.120 I was just choking, I would just drive immediately into 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.240 the ditch. Michael, That's what I would suggest, probably good advice. 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:56.800 It was. It was quite interesting and some of you 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.560 know this probably from watching TV. Many of you don't. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.800 We're doing a ride along with the San Francisco Police Department. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.320 A number of years ago in one of the more 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:13.320 uh difficult districts of that increasingly formerly great city. But 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.600 we rolled into a housing project with the coppers and 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:21.120 immediately echoing from end end to this giant like apartment 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:27.160 that was several acres. You heard who everywhere? Has everybody 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.240 learned everybody else that the coppers were on hand? It 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:36.679 was interesting they could teach my wife something. Now she knows. Um, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.800 I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on the on this 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.880 It's Thursday, little Friday, June eighteenth, the year were Armstrong 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:50.720 and getting We approved of this program. Thank you. Let's 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.720 begin officially now. According to CC rules and regulations at Mark, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:03.240 Mark Zuckerberg is pro moding the extremist. I'm because Mark 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:10.200 Zuckerberg is actually his site. The Zuckerberg site has actually 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:18.560 set up set up like add promotions that actually push 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:28.160 people towards expremis. Yp Scarborough is yelling about Facebook. Apparently 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:33.160 there that's a joy Scarborough. Um, yeah, it seems to 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:38.480 me just from watching the MSNBC, is that Facebook is 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.800 the right wing crazy channel. Now according to MSNBC, okay, 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.640 for those what's the rights Twitter, it's it's gonna be Facebook, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.920 And I don't know how terms would feel about that, 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.400 but yeah, which is interesting because you know, it's certainly 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:58.800 not what Martin Zuckerberg's politics are, so Mark Zuckerberg him. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.199 He also just Joe Scarborough there, he's uh, he's also angry. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.960 There was a lot, apparently of the stuff about him 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.880 murdering that girl. Um was floating around Facebook and not 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.599 being taken down. And he's claiming that some of the 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.120 guidelines or whatever. Um, how's mail bag? Look? Oh, it's 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.600 it's nice, a little humor, a little insight, good, good, 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.000 well balanced, like your diet now that you're eating vegetables. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.040 Some of those towns in Arizona I visited a couple 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.640 of weeks ago are now passing ordinances that you have 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.000 to wear masks. So remember I was astonished that it's 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.720 as if the virus doesn't even exist here. It's like 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.520 in a life. Well, they've decided that was a bad 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.120 idea right in the midst of when I was there, 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.800 So I gotta admit I'm keeping an eye on getting 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.280 any symptoms and need to check in with my parents also, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.280 since we are all, you know, out and about and 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:50.160 around them and they're they're old Uh yeah, some of 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.280 the places where they were not treating it quite as 0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.560 as scary. I've changed their mind. They would seem, well, yeah, 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.400 that's sensible. If you don't have many cases, you don't 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.480 have much exposure, it's just not a problem. You shouldn't 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.720 be acting like it's a big problem. The key is, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.120 you know, not acting too late, especially if you're on 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.040 the older side or more vulnerable. Uh So, I got 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:18.760 Joe Biden, we got all this stuff to catch you 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.600 up on. We'll have to listen to the more energetic 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.280 Joe Biden compare and contrasting with the energetic John McCain 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:27.559 from back in the day. I think that's really a 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.640 good comparison right there. Our text line is FO five 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:59.480 k f TC are strong and show. See former Sex 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.960 Death and c I chief Robert and Gates yesterday saying 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.920 they should take those Confederate generals off of our basis. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.000 I thought that was interesting. That decides it for me. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.600 I'm now fully in that camp. Yeah, I like old 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.360 man Gates and he man good. But he said we 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.720 don't have a fort Ulysses grant. Yeah, how can that be? Well, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.200 it can't be saved the union. You can't you can't 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.840 have that. They don't have a Fort Patton in spite 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.680 of the soldier slap an incident. Well, the grand one 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.480 is particularly uh makes the point because most of these 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.320 are named after Confederate generals. If we're on a Confederate 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.360 if we're on a Civil War kick for naming basis, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.960 you might want to throw in the winning general. I 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:51.439 would say, yeah, yeah, that was an excellent point. Mailbag down. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.160 There's part of me the things. It's kind of cool 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.400 that this country, you know, we healed and came together, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.559 and and part of the healing process was Okay, Uh, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.320 Proberty Lee was an honorable man, and he was doing 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.160 what he thought was right. All Right, we'll name stuff 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.280 after him. Okay, we don't hate chi. We want you 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.439 back in the Union. It's the very American thing to do. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:17.040 It's it's a little odd anyway. I didn't go to 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.640 a Grant grade school. I think school named Grants. So 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.440 there are schools named after but no major military basis. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.240 Never in my life have I attended a school named 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.640 after anything except the town I lived in. I guess 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.480 that town just wasn't in the name of the things. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.240 I went to a Jefferson. I went to a grant. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.120 I went to a number of schools. I went to 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:45.760 a Suttur there you go, oh California, probably, Well, what 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.480 was the school I went to? Kindergarten? I think it 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.560 was just like, uh, you know, it's just named after 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.280 where it was. More or less. Um, I've never had 0:13:55.280 --> 0:14:00.000 these issues. Here's your freedom, love and quote of the day. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.480 It's from Evie Lucas. I didn't know Evie Lucas, so 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.080 I went googling around her. I'm binging around. I'm sorry. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.240 Google is evil. He was a humoriston writer lived from 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.000 late eighteen hundreds into like the nineteen thirties or something. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:16.280 He was a brit A thinker. He said, the truth 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.160 is the only thing worth having, and in a civilized 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.240 life like ours, where so many risks are removed, facing 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.760 it is almost the only courageous thing left to do. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.360 I thought that was pretty good stuff, and I went 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.800 looking for more E. V. Lucas quotes and I found 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.800 lists of them, and none of them was very good. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.040 Apparently this was his you know, shot her and around 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.160 the world. But that's a great quote. Facing the truth 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.560 is about the most courageous thing we can do. These days. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.360 There's some quote from Orwell, though I don't have it memorized, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.200 about how difficult that is. Though sometimes even when it's 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.280 right in front of your nose, it's just and everybody's 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.760 pitching a different version of it too. Here's a note 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:01.160 from Hendricks. I'm sorry, Hendrick. This is on the topic 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:06.280 of Aunt Jemima, the Syrup brand mascot. I believe there's 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.880 a Miss Buttersworth controversy today actually, so we'll get into that. 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:16.720 The syrup battles so Uh, the PepsiCo that owns Uh 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.800 and Miamma. The aunt Jemima brand has ended it because 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.120 of racist connotations that nobody's quite sure what they mean. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.400 But um, I guess in the past it wasn't anyway. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.840 The name itself was from like a play about I 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.280 think that the slave Mammy that that kind of archetype 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.160 with the actual name fair enough, and the idea that 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.600 a slave mammy came up with a great syrup recipe 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:46.720 is bad. That's that's what I don't get it. Hendrik 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.200 Rice says young immigrant. Many years ago, I moved into 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.040 my own place for the first time, go to the 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.840 grocery store. I bought food, toiletries, cleaning suplies. I was 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.280 not fluent in English, so I relied in many cases 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.760 on pictures on the products I thought I needed and 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.280 the cleaning supply section. I noticed a bottle with a 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.760 picture of a bald headed muscular man. I decided to 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.560 buy it. I used it for spills, clumsy Baba. Ever 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.520 since then, I've had very favorable first impressions when I 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.800 meet bald headed muscular men. This goes to your point 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.880 that I don't think using the syrup has led me 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.720 to any negative feelings about black women. I never thought 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.800 about it at all, right, and I certainly didn't look 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.280 up his privilege. I certainly didn't look up the history. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.440 The first green giant I see, Jolly are not is 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:32.920 getting a earful for me to right or otherwise? Dan writes, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.160 Now if another company uses the aunt Jemiama logo, will 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:45.320 PepsiCo sue saying they own her? Oh that's uh, that's uncomfortable, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.520 Mike says, I fear for the nation. As we approached 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.720 in November election, good chance the virus will still be 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:58.160 impacting our movements. Walking not bowel and blanket and mail 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.200 voting is already in place, and and he imagines the 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:06.440 scenario that you imagine, Jack, Um, there are widespread reports 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.320 of voter fraud, missing ballants, people that couldn't get into 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.200 the polls, et cetera. Um, and and the media will 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.000 frame it is Trump trying to stay in office pass 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.080 January the usual. Trump declares without evidence and it just 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.720 melts down. Either way, we'll have another case of the 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.760 Scotis deciding when to stop investigations. And we know how 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.880 well that worked for Bush. The Internet and cell phone 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.760 videos are single handedly changing our nation culture for the worst. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:34.720 I'm not sure I agree with that completely with its Okay, 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.080 I don't need to the internet is I don't know 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.879 about cell phone videos we're seeing in It allows you 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.199 to for the videos to fly around. Yeah. Yeah, And 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.280 how much time do we have my thirty seconds? We 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:51.480 don't really have time, um Her Alex from Terrytown. I 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.800 found a couple of things. One of that was the 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.680 White House Gift Shop selling commemorative coins for how well 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.679 the government is doing in his fight against COVID nineteen. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.160 That's making you know, it's going around left laning circles. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.000 The White House Gift Shop is not affiliated with the 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.320 White House. It's just a gift shop. They can sell 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.479 whatever they want, ulysses, grant, bubble heads, commemorative coind whatever, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:35.320 Armstrong and see Armstrong Andy Show, quake up. Thank you. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.960 So that's our clip of the day. We'll be digging 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.119 into that in more detail coming up later than you. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.159 That was so Biden's impassioned. He came out of the 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.560 basement for a for a little statement. He hasn't done 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.240 taken questions. I think you're incorrect. I think that is 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.919 one nursing home resident to another. I mean that is 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.840 that had the feel of hey, they're servant, jella, wake up, 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:02.840 wake up, thank you, thank you you. Oh. I'm saddened 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.440 by that. I hear a man and I believe him 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.520 to be a good man. Misguided in many cases, he's 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.240 been wrong about all sorts of foreign policy things, but 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.360 I think it has sold Joe Biden's a good man, 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:18.240 and I swear I am having a When you're ready 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.760 to ride Metro, we want you to know we're ready 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.000 for you. Here are just a few of the people 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.160 at Metro to tell you how we're doing our part 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:31.200 to keep riders safe. Were cleaning before you've found Hassoun 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:36.240 of Sis of statist, no masks, no metro me one. 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.159 We have a few extras at Metro. We're doing our 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.840 part to keep the DC area moving. Find out more 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:46.240 at well mata dot com slash doing our part. We 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.720 begin today's meditation with a few sipping exercises to remind 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.520 us a little treat can go a long way. So 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.720 pick up your McCafe iced coffees, close your eyes, and 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:07.800 deep sipping and deep satisfaction out. Take a treat retreat 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.040 at McDonald's right now. Get mccaffee iced coffee in any 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.040 size and any flavor for just nine cents until a 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.080 m participation may ary. Deep human reaction like my caveman 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:25.360 brain is telling me, oh, he's near death. I'm not kidding. 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.040 I'm telling you. Unlike one of those dogs that can 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:36.480 smell cancer, I can hear he's dying. Wow. I can 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.040 hear when people are dying. And it's it's it's hit 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.200 me and my soul. Uh. Some more on that later. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:47.159 A couple of more coffee, A couple of big news headlines. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.320 We need to hitch with one. The unemployment numbers always 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.879 come out on Thursday, and they're just out another million 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.720 and a half people filed for unemployment help and uh, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.679 that brings the number up to forty five million somewhere. 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.040 Is it that many? It can't be that many, is it. 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.960 It's a heck of a lot. It's a lot um uh, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.359 and that those are still just experience, way down from 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:07.720 where it was, but it's still it's just an extraordinary humer. 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.960 If this number had hit out of the blue in January, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:12.480 it would be the only thing on the news all 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.280 day long and be like, holy cow, what has happened? Yeah, oh, yeah, absolutely, 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.240 because there's never been anything like the number that came 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:24.360 out today ever prior to, you know, ten weeks ago. 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.560 So that's worth mentioning and maybe talking about again later. 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.879 So the charges did come out yesterday from the on 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:34.320 the Atlanta Police Department Fulton County charging that officer who 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.200 shot the dude at the Wendy's. If you've been following 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.000 that story, he is facing eleven charges in all, and 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:44.400 could be sentenced to death in if convicted, felony murder charges. 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.080 In light of that huge uptick in the number of 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:54.959 officers there in Atlanta calling in sick, um, I'm not 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.120 coming to work, Atlanta announced we do have enough officers 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.119 to keep the city safe. But we have had an 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.159 uptick in the number of officers calling out of work tonight. 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.439 That's right after the chargers came in. It's interesting we 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:07.800 played that clip. Maybe we had to play it again. 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.359 I don't remember what time in the show we played it. 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:14.320 That Georgia sheriff who's been training training officers in Atlanta 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.320 for years, as he said, hundreds officers over all kinds 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.040 of counties for years, and he said that was a 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:23.320 perfectly justified shooting. Um he's a black guy, by the way, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.119 it doesn't mean he's right. I don't know. I'm not 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.520 I'm not you know, I'm not a lawyer or whatever. 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.440 But that's an interesting conundrum there. You got a guy 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.919 who's trained officers all over the states in in in 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.880 that state saying that wasn't okay shooting, and he got 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:40.040 charges of felony murder with the with the death penalty 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:44.119 hanging out there. Um. Well, the the latest is that 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.960 video has emerged of the cop after the the gentleman 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:54.440 was down shot of kicking him, and the thinking on 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.800 the prosecutors is that helps established that he wasn't shooting 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.440 them in any public interest. He was shooting him because 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:05.200 he was super angry that the guy had fought him. 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:09.360 You know that certainly was not cool that he kicked him. 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.119 The other guy stood on him. I haven't seen the videos. 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.360 I can't imagine any balanced like with both feet. Um. 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:20.639 But anyway, so I I suggested yesterday, and I believe 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:24.119 I am correct that they were going to overcharge to 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.800 keep peace in the streets. They're gonna go way over 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:29.359 the top with the charges. And you know, during the 0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.679 whole lawyer's john at each other process, a lot of 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.679 those charges will be reduced or dropped and or the 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.840 prosecutors will make sure if it goes to trial, and 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:44.320 probably will that the jury has multiple options, including lesser charges. Guarantee. 0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:49.080 That's what's happening here. Yeah, Well, the police chief did 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.840 resign immediately. You never know what that means though, there 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:56.359 are so many different circumstances saying I do know what 0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:01.879 it means. But she did resign immediately, and uh she 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:05.000 said she was horrified at what she saw. So what 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:07.359 is trying to keep a city from burning down is? 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:10.679 And what is what police officers actually think? I don't know, 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.240 right right, hey, And everybody's so on edge if you 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:20.960 do the wrong thing, everything goes kurb bluie. One more time. 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.879 I just need to hear but after this, after this, 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:24.439 I need to hear the Biden clip one more time. 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:29.159 I want to hear his whole ending because it trails. 0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.639 I mean, it's such a downward trend. And Michael, you 0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:33.480 said you have another example, one of the clips of 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:39.639 him a little longer, but maybe we'll look into that. Yeah, 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:43.119 and I have a theory why he's doing that. I 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:45.560 think he may be overdoing it. But I'll hit you 0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:50.800 what why Joe Biden is taking the I'm just so 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:55.199 calm approach. Okay, you could probably read my mind. But 0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.600 first note from our friends. It's simply safe, fabulous sponsor 0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:00.560 of the Armstrong and get a show leaving us on 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:04.760 the air, so support them best. Overall, home security, according 0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:06.600 to US News and World Report, it's all the good 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.240 stuff you want from a home security system, like the doorbell, 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.320 camera and the sensors and the rest of it, none 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:14.199 of the bad stuff, the annoying stuff, the expensive stuff, 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.360 and five people will come to your home, be there 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.280
