Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Kaddy Armstrong and Jackie
Speaker 1: and he.
Speaker 2: Arms I'm a from studio scene see Senior. It's frie
Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving week and today we are under the tutelage
Speaker 2: of our general manager.
Speaker 3: The humble American traveler who seeks only to reach the hearth.
Speaker 1: And home of his hearth?
Speaker 3: Are they themse loved ones to break bread and give
Speaker 3: thanks for the bounty they have received, and perhaps a drink.
Speaker 1: Or two to take the edge off.
Speaker 3: There you go exactly, or to tolerate to some uh,
Speaker 3: you know, your your niece's boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Perhaps for instance, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: You got a minor guy said, it's a medium sized gathering.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be my mom and dad, me, my brother,
Speaker 3: and my two kids. So that's nice.
Speaker 1: That's very nice.
Speaker 3: But we always did nuclear family for Thanksgiving always, I think,
Speaker 3: every year of my life, and then I know other
Speaker 3: people who do, mostly because we didn't live around people.
Speaker 3: But I've been to many people like girlfriends. I guess
Speaker 3: you got the big twenty five people gathered together and
Speaker 3: everything like that. That's just freaking awesome. If you do
Speaker 3: that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's festive. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: I've done those, you know, each and all points in between,
Speaker 3: and yeah they're all nice in their own ways. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they all are. And h Hanson and I were talking
Speaker 3: about this yesterday, just the if you go somewhere else
Speaker 3: and you kind of arrive for the meal and everything
Speaker 3: like that. We're just discussing the idea of kids not
Speaker 3: seeing the everything that goes into the Thanksgiving meal and
Speaker 3: sort of making the emphasis on this is a big deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, look how much work we put into this.
Speaker 3: Mom got up at five in the freaking morning to
Speaker 3: get the turkey out of the freezer like my mom
Speaker 3: always did, and you know, works all damn day long
Speaker 3: a number of people usually, and getting that whole meal
Speaker 3: together and everything like that. Although we were discussing as
Speaker 3: a kid, it's just such a you know, because food
Speaker 3: doesn't matter that much to you as a kid generally.
Speaker 3: Maybe the pieta is kind of but mostly not. I
Speaker 3: remember Thanksgiving and I'm gladys do you work anymore? Jake? Sad?
Speaker 1: That was sad. That was a quick, quick la.
Speaker 3: She's just cilar to me that this was a story
Speaker 3: from your yesteryear at all. And she's trying to get
Speaker 3: off the caffeine too. She told me, yesday she drinks
Speaker 3: she drinks red Bulls all day long, and she's trying
Speaker 3: to quit the caffeine.
Speaker 1: And I said to her, you're too old. You're a
Speaker 1: World War One veteran.
Speaker 3: You're too old to be pounding red bull.
Speaker 1: Plus all that prune juice to keep a regular.
Speaker 3: So, oh, yeah, my god, I remembered Henry was probably
Speaker 3: five maybe. Anyway, We're sitting at the Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: had been building up and building up and building up,
Speaker 3: and then we sit there at the table and he said,
Speaker 3: this is all that it is because he didn't really
Speaker 3: know what it was. He just knew there was a
Speaker 3: thing coming, Thanksgiving is coming. And then we sat down
Speaker 3: to me and he's just like, he's like, this is
Speaker 3: the whole thing?
Speaker 1: Is this? I don't even care about this.
Speaker 3: A slightly different array of food here on the table.
Speaker 3: I uh that there's no presence. We're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: There's nothing you'll misled, no.
Speaker 3: Kidding, well, you know, getting back to seeing the you know,
Speaker 3: the preparations and stuff too. Things Number one, it sends
Speaker 3: the lesson that, Hey, it takes work to get special things.
Speaker 3: And secondly, I think it sends a message about the
Speaker 3: importance of coming together and giving thanks and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing. If that is indeed part of your Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: And if it's not, read the name of the freaking.
Speaker 4: Holiday again, Huh, you're sticking a thumb in a Lincoln's eye.
Speaker 4: He declared the holiday and this is a Lincoln creation.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, yeah, he decreed a day of Thanksgiving that
Speaker 4: evolved into something then got fixed on a date.
Speaker 1: The story's a.
Speaker 3: Little vague in my mind. Macy's and then Macy's had
Speaker 3: an inflatable snoopy. It's a long story, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We always do the going around the things you give
Speaker 3: thanks for. That's a huge part. It's really interesting to
Speaker 3: watch that with your kids too, as a grown up.
Speaker 3: They tend to be the same every year.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of health and thank god I haven't
Speaker 4: been afflicted with many of the terrible things that you
Speaker 4: know people around me have been.
Speaker 3: Thank God Trump one will be a popular one. And Thanksgiving, wow, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know what lead with that. That's great, especially if
Speaker 3: it's a big family gather. I was just reading, so
Speaker 3: I am not in the mood to talk about really
Speaker 3: any of the news, though it's sort of contractually required.
Speaker 3: But I was listening to music my car and trying
Speaker 3: to sing in the high harmony parts and just you know,
Speaker 3: I have no pam BONDI whatever. I'll talk about it
Speaker 3: next year. But I was just reading this piece of
Speaker 3: the New York Times about, well, the headline is this
Speaker 3: is Thanksgiving related the turkeys did nothing wrong? What the
Speaker 3: turkeys have done nothing wrong? And it's centered around the
Speaker 3: idea of how so many turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: and maybe we should eat something else, so you'd rather
Speaker 3: slaughter a cow. I don't understand why unless we're not
Speaker 3: gonna eat meat, you're just gonna slaughter a different animal.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of weird.
Speaker 3: Yes, many more turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving than other days,
Speaker 3: but if we don't eat the turkey, we're preak gonna
Speaker 3: eat you know, a cow or a lamb or something else.
Speaker 3: But anyway, they also centered around the presidential pardon of
Speaker 3: the turkey, which we have mocked every single year of
Speaker 3: our radio careers, and how what are you pardoning the
Speaker 3: turkey for? The turkey has done nothing wrong? The turkey
Speaker 3: can do nothing wrong. Number one, just when.
Speaker 4: You have thought they were is loopy and ridiculous as
Speaker 4: they could possibly get.
Speaker 3: You come across that. I have two thoughts number one,
Speaker 3: and they're both obvious. Number One, those turkeys would not
Speaker 3: exist were it not for the fact that they would
Speaker 3: be harvested to put be put on a plate. If
Speaker 3: people ate ham exclusively, those turkeys would not be slaughtered
Speaker 3: because they never would have been hatched. Secondly, deliciousness is
Speaker 3: a crime, and the penalty is death. Sorry, the penalty
Speaker 3: is gravy. That's just the way the world works. But
Speaker 3: the turkey has done nothing wrong and can do nothing wrong.
Speaker 3: The turkey is innocent. And I think they're writing that
Speaker 3: with a straight face. I think they are.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, you all. I was thinking about this morning
Speaker 1: for some reason. In the show. You all just keep
Speaker 1: going with that stuff. Good luck with your future elections.
Speaker 3: Just keep going with that crazy crap of all different
Speaker 3: sorts of stripes.
Speaker 1: Just keep pushing. That's so many good exams apples of that.
Speaker 1: Knock yourself out. I'm not even gonna try to argue
Speaker 1: out of your positions. Just go ahead. No au contraire.
Speaker 4: Specifically, I was corresponding with a friend of Armstrong and
Speaker 4: Getty and reading an article, and it would appear that
Speaker 4: large swallows of the left are utterly unaware of what
Speaker 4: just happened and why it happened. I mean, like completely
Speaker 4: in denial, to which I say, deny away, friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding, go ahead, keep thinking it was racism
Speaker 3: because she was a woman.
Speaker 1: There's a reason.
Speaker 3: And then we on the other side will win a
Speaker 3: lot for their age. Misspent the ad dollars slightly. Yes,
Speaker 3: that was it.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, nailed it. Let's start the show officially.
Speaker 3: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Friday,
Speaker 3: November twenty second, the year twenty twenty four. Life will
Speaker 3: not be born twenty four were Armstrong and getting We
Speaker 3: approve of this program. Let's begin then, officially according to
Speaker 3: FCC rules and regulations, leaping into action at mark.
Speaker 1: I am not suicidal. I am not suicidal, And I
Speaker 1: could have.
Speaker 3: Said that I was guilty a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Not one of his better performances.
Speaker 3: In my mind, the great Jesse Smolette, or as Kid
Speaker 3: Rock said, you're Jesse now.
Speaker 1: You know you gotta earn Jesse you're Jesse's you see Smolley,
Speaker 1: as Steve Chappelle would call him.
Speaker 3: We're gonna revisit, in fact, retry that case as as
Speaker 3: a lot has happened in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: And we've got some audio for you that maybe you
Speaker 3: haven't heard or have heard, but it's good to hear
Speaker 3: again of him describing is made up freaking crime of
Speaker 3: the bodyblders who attacked him, explaining how they did it.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is just crazy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well see Armstrong in getting court of justice will
Speaker 4: be gabbled into session and justice will be swift and harsh.
Speaker 3: Some of these is just thinking we have to do
Speaker 3: our Thanksgiving talk now kind of because we're off next week.
Speaker 3: One girlfriend I went to her house. She was a
Speaker 3: German family and her like parents still spoke German. Her
Speaker 3: grandparents almost exclusively German, as a lot of Germans South
Speaker 3: Many Many.
Speaker 1: Germans, regular Old Germany Many Germans settled in uh in Kansas.
Speaker 3: Read the book The Worst Hard Times about the depression
Speaker 3: into the dust dust Bowl for that.
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3: But anyway, they had at Thanksgiving, and man was she
Speaker 3: a good cook. They were all just amazing cooks. And
Speaker 3: they called things by names I couldn't pronounce. But they
Speaker 3: put a pig's head on the table, like an entire
Speaker 3: pig's head, Like it looked like a pig's head.
Speaker 1: It wasn't there.
Speaker 3: They didn't have to tell you it was a pig's head.
Speaker 3: It was clearly a pig's head when they set it
Speaker 3: on the table, is looking right at you, unmistakable, And
Speaker 3: then it was. And then it was had been cooked
Speaker 3: and boiled in or whatever in such way that then
Speaker 3: the you just with a fork, you just kind of
Speaker 3: meat just fell right off the face. It was a
Speaker 3: little too farmed a fork for me, you know, I
Speaker 3: like a layer between the farm to fork, just like
Speaker 3: one layer of grocery store plastic around it or something.
Speaker 1: It's like you're in the pen with a gun and
Speaker 1: a cleaver.
Speaker 3: I mean, like you practically still hair oinking. It was
Speaker 3: a little too close for me.
Speaker 1: You know, I can handle.
Speaker 3: I can handle a fish looking back at me. Oh,
Speaker 3: it's a fish. It's got the mind of a fish. Sure,
Speaker 3: I got porky staring me in the eyes. I'm thinking
Speaker 3: you're you're accusing me of and I'm guilty. I've murdered
Speaker 3: that was rough. It was good, but I found it
Speaker 3: hard to get down. I didn't say anything, of course,
Speaker 3: because I'm blanked. How does mailbag look?
Speaker 1: What's good? Plus we have clips of the week.
Speaker 3: Right, and we will get into some of the news
Speaker 3: of the day. And the Gates story went away fast
Speaker 3: soon as they named somebody k new huh.
Speaker 1: That's a good way to do it.
Speaker 3: If you got somebody who steps down in controversy or whatever,
Speaker 3: name with new person and everybody's onto the Hey, who's
Speaker 3: this new person?
Speaker 1: So fast? A lot of reasons.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to talk about Gates and his nomination and
Speaker 4: the rest of it.
Speaker 1: Let's just move on. Yeah, uh.
Speaker 3: Oh, scary announcement out of South Korea about North Korea
Speaker 3: and what's going on there. So a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: different stuff for you. Our text line is four one, five,
Speaker 3: two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1: I'm reading that.
Speaker 3: Entire essay in the New York Times about pardoning turkeys.
Speaker 1: How it got started, and.
Speaker 3: Then this person is horrified about the idea of suggesting
Speaker 3: the turkey is committed a crime.
Speaker 1: I'll have to get into that later. It's hilarious, is
Speaker 1: it tongue in cheek? No? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no.
Speaker 3: These are people that have stopped eating turkey at their
Speaker 3: at their tables because of the way turkeys are treated.
Speaker 1: Okay, that I get. But the whole Pardons thing, it's
Speaker 1: it's an idiotic little thing for kids.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize how it started. It's pretty interesting. So
Speaker 3: stick around. Okay, if I must, then I must. I've
Speaker 3: read the contract, all right.
Speaker 4: We have mailback coming uh mailback coming up.
Speaker 1: Freedom loving quote of the day. But first, let's take
Speaker 1: a fun look back at the week. It was. It's
Speaker 1: cow clips of the week. Which of the week.
Speaker 5: It's increasingly clear it is Donald Trump's world and we're
Speaker 5: just living in it. Joe and I went to mar
Speaker 5: A Lago to meet personally with President like Trump, Why
Speaker 5: wouldn't we He's killing us.
Speaker 1: We cooked a crap here.
Speaker 2: I am very fastly picking the most epic cabinet of
Speaker 2: all time.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking about? Well, we've got Elon and
Speaker 1: Matt Gates. That's an alien versus predator. Gates listened to
Speaker 1: what the senators had to say. Great day momentum for
Speaker 1: the Trump vance administration. I prefer to call it fun
Speaker 1: fueled camaraderie. You have this stunning reversally, it.
Speaker 3: Is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a destruction.
Speaker 1: I mean, frankly, it's been a wink of escalations.
Speaker 3: Firing the first American made long range missiles into Russia, but.
Speaker 1: That could now trigger a nuclear response.
Speaker 3: Ukraine and listening saying is an ICBM striker.
Speaker 6: This trial is seen as the most significant sign of
Speaker 6: Beijing tightening its control of Hong Kong Yea.
Speaker 3: The great thing about this age you don't learn by
Speaker 3: your mistakes.
Speaker 1: You just keep doing the same stupid things. Everything's cutting up, milhouse.
Speaker 1: Is there anything do they like? Shelax the banana? Praise?
Speaker 3: Shellac in the banana is not something we need at all,
Speaker 3: not during the holiday season.
Speaker 2: It's always nobody counts here, but nobody wod the president.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my god, we need chester.
Speaker 3: And then he hit them with a right along tyson
Speaker 3: coming forward.
Speaker 2: But all it's landing the cleaner effective punchet there.
Speaker 1: Guys, how are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: That reminds me that piece of art the banana taped
Speaker 3: to the wall that sold for one point six million dollars.
Speaker 3: My son said, this would have been a good bit too.
Speaker 3: Mister beast should have purchased it then just eaten it,
Speaker 3: just torted off the wall and eating it. That'd a
Speaker 3: been a very mister beast thing to do.
Speaker 4: Well again, my question is, given the legendarily short shelf
Speaker 4: life of the humble banana, do you like constantly get
Speaker 4: new bananas like it's a subscription or do you just
Speaker 4: have the same rotten banana that rots away to a
Speaker 4: little black piece of shoe leather.
Speaker 3: Decent point that piece of art only looks like the
Speaker 3: picture for like two days, right, and you'd you'd be
Speaker 3: very disappointed.
Speaker 4: Here's your freedom well up in Quota today, sent along
Speaker 4: by Alert listener Corey from Yuval Noah Harari in his
Speaker 4: book Homodeis quote in the twenty first century, we will
Speaker 4: create more powerful fictions and more totalitarian religions than in
Speaker 4: any previous era. Being able to distinguish fiction from reality
Speaker 4: and religion from science will therefore become more difficult, more
Speaker 4: vital than ever before.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's his follow up book to Homo Sapiens, which I'm
Speaker 3: reading currently. Homo dais would be a man as God,
Speaker 3: especially I don't know man in God God?
Speaker 1: Man? What's up? Man?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I want to pursue that conversation.
Speaker 4: I've came across something very interesting on that very topic,
Speaker 4: fake religions, quasi religions, particularly the woke one mail bag
Speaker 4: who you gotta write them together as they used to say,
Speaker 4: drop us note mailbag at Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 1: Guys, you nailed it. You totally called it.
Speaker 3: Like yesterday, you said Gates would be fired and replaced
Speaker 3: by a hot chick. It wasn't months, it was mere hours.
Speaker 3: That's right, Pambondie, former Age of Florida, holy cow, not
Speaker 3: only a great lawyer, but an agg.
Speaker 1: Gilf an age.
Speaker 3: I would love to friend tell you what I would
Speaker 3: give her, a corpus, a rid of habeas all night long.
Speaker 1: I hadn't sentence you to ecstasy. WHOA, Okay, you're not
Speaker 1: done yet.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize the prediction had included replacing him with
Speaker 3: a hot ship.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yes, of course you're talking Trump here. Guys.
Speaker 4: I know the only guy on happy Gates about out.
Speaker 4: I'll bet Diddy is like really unhappy. He probably Gates
Speaker 4: was probably his only real chance, considering their shared interest.
Speaker 4: Sean nice job, Sean and uh oh. The other big topic, dude,
Speaker 4: az tech death whistle is the name of my Latin
Speaker 4: beat metal death Jethrow Cullover Jethrow tull cover band. Turns
Speaker 4: out they sell Aztec death whistles on Amazon.
Speaker 3: Really, I wonder how good they are because they can't
Speaker 3: just sound like a whistle. They got to sound like
Speaker 3: that horrible shrieking sound you played yesterday. Let's see, all right,
Speaker 3: well that's not even worth airing. We've got shirts that
Speaker 3: say that astet deck whistle at.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and getting dot again, among other things.
Speaker 3: Some more news of the day on the way, so
Speaker 3: stay here, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: The fa has been short air traffic controller for a
Speaker 5: long time now. Really they're working overtime and mandatory six
Speaker 5: day weeks, and the FAA says it's been scrambling to
Speaker 5: hire more controllers. The FAA says the number of flights
Speaker 5: will peak on Tuesday, that is when fifty thousand flights
Speaker 5: will be handled by controllers nationwide. FAA Chief Mike Whittaker says,
Speaker 5: do not be surprised if the FAA slows the pace
Speaker 5: of flights. Simply put, that means delays.
Speaker 3: Oh they're going to purpose flee slow the pace of
Speaker 3: flights on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I'm flying on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: So did we all decide a couple of years ago
Speaker 3: or something that I know I'll beat the system. Getaway
Speaker 3: day is Wednesday. I'll fly on Tuesday, so there are
Speaker 3: more flights on Tuesday than Wednesday. Now, maybe I should
Speaker 3: change my flight to Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's because of all the delays and cancelations in
Speaker 4: recent You just give your fake I want to get
Speaker 4: to Granny's house by Thursday.
Speaker 3: So I gotta leave Tuesday. You gotta leave a buffer day. Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe that's it. I didn't know Tuesday was the busiest
Speaker 3: traveling day. Wow.
Speaker 1: Well, see all in Denver. Well, all hang out at
Speaker 1: the airport, sitting over by the outlet.
Speaker 3: I'll be the guy sitting by the outlet, a couple
Speaker 3: of kids, or Atlanta, Atlanta or Denver.
Speaker 1: We'll all meet in Atlanta or Denver. Wow. Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 4: And that air traffic controller thing is before you even
Speaker 4: add the layer of the weather on.
Speaker 1: Top of it.
Speaker 3: And that's not like you can't just allow Elea Venezuelans
Speaker 3: to come across the border and fill the spots of
Speaker 3: air traffic controllers like you can picking grapes or something. Hey,
Speaker 3: I say to you, you pilots you use soft, little
Speaker 3: pampered pussy cat pilots.
Speaker 4: Hey, every day we commute, we drive, we run errands.
Speaker 4: We don't have a car controller. Yeah, look out, check yeah,
Speaker 4: check your blind spot.
Speaker 3: You have heard of a window? Look out the damn
Speaker 3: window and fly The plane fits your.
Speaker 1: Turnal land land all right? Moving along?
Speaker 3: You look left, you look right, you look left again,
Speaker 3: you do, that's right. A couple of notes from the
Speaker 3: world of politics. Uh. First of all, is Sean White,
Speaker 3: the big I'm sorry, Dana White, the great wrestling empressario
Speaker 3: who endorsed Trump and was there at the convention, and
Speaker 3: they had that big event the other night where Trump
Speaker 3: got the huge ovation, uh at Medison Square Garden, the
Speaker 3: same venue where they once had a Nazi rally, and
Speaker 3: then Trump held another Nazi rally and then they had
Speaker 3: a Nazi wrestling match.
Speaker 1: I guess anyway.
Speaker 4: Uh So the New Yorker asked Dana White, so you
Speaker 4: into the politics thing? Now he's going forward, You're gonna
Speaker 4: and he said, I'm never effing doing this again. I
Speaker 4: want nothing to do with this. S it's gross, it's disgusting.
Speaker 4: I want nothing to do with politics.
Speaker 3: You know. I we broadcast from Sacramento, California, the capital
Speaker 3: of the biggest state in the country, fifth biggest economy
Speaker 3: in the world. So there's a lot of government going on.
Speaker 3: And I have known so many people who are kind
Speaker 3: of lifetime government people, and I always ask them. I
Speaker 3: always ask them the same question. Or reporters who follow
Speaker 3: it closely. You know a lot of reporters who get
Speaker 3: inside the capitol and do that all the time. Do
Speaker 3: you come away like I know what the answer is
Speaker 3: going to be? More cynical, less cynical, believing in government?
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's ditch. Oh no, yeah, I don't even
Speaker 3: you wonder why you even vote. That's the way almost
Speaker 3: everybody always answers. Yeah, including people who work for the parties.
Speaker 3: Let's take no.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, the answer is obvious, but the particulars are
Speaker 4: often really really interesting.
Speaker 1: God dang it. Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 4: Uh So, speaking of cynicism and politics and that sort
Speaker 4: of thing, I'm gonna I'll skip first of all to
Speaker 4: the email from JT and Livermore. He said, as I've predicted,
Speaker 4: the left just doesn't get why they lost, and he
Speaker 4: includes a link which I'll get to in a moment,
Speaker 4: and he like I says like us, says, I couldn't
Speaker 4: love it more even if they could accurately discern why
Speaker 4: they lost, and they can't. They're structurally and psychologically incapable
Speaker 4: of making changes to almost all the reasons they lost.
Speaker 4: They've become the party of extremists and extremism trans rights,
Speaker 4: for instance, but they are unable to pull back from
Speaker 4: their extremism even if it had helped them win going forward.
Speaker 4: Then he makes a point that you know, I'd love
Speaker 4: to hear your comments, obviously, but Jack and anybody else
Speaker 4: frankly at a mail bag at Armstrong Yetty dot com
Speaker 4: or text four one five two ninety five KFTC. But
Speaker 4: he says, I used to think they cherish Democrat power
Speaker 4: over what's good for America. For example, they have no
Speaker 4: problems stirring up race hatred in order to win politically,
Speaker 4: which is horrifying. But the fact that they can't even
Speaker 4: bring themselves to take up positions that more than sixty
Speaker 4: percent of their country support on abortion, border security, crime,
Speaker 4: experimental surgeries on children, trillion dollar inflation causing green energy
Speaker 4: virtue signaling, blah blah blah, makes me think they love
Speaker 4: their insanity even more than they love the power.
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm surprised they can't figure this out by
Speaker 3: reading the polls or seeing the results of the elections.
Speaker 3: Way too many people in the Democratic Party think Twitter's
Speaker 3: real life. And I can't believe that they haven't learned
Speaker 3: that lesson yet. That the Elizabeth warnkrowd is not the
Speaker 3: majority of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: It's not the majority of anything.
Speaker 3: It's a tiny slice of America that's really, really loud
Speaker 3: and represents a lot.
Speaker 1: Of the media.
Speaker 4: But I just can't believe they haven't figured that out,
Speaker 4: given the fact that all of us have gone from
Speaker 4: living what's the right term, actual reality lives to virtual
Speaker 4: reality lives or media lives. Our connections are not the
Speaker 4: people geographically next to us. We brush up against it, work,
Speaker 4: the guy at the shop, whatever, our personal friends, our
Speaker 4: civic organizations. Now it's our favorite Twitter accounts that.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Will we get a handle on the whole bubbling thing?
Speaker 4: Will there be a back to reality movement of some
Speaker 4: kind of I would still like to form my old
Speaker 4: school throwback unplugged society. Maybe we'll buy up a bunch
Speaker 4: of land in Nebraska or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there's the different issue that's not just politics,
Speaker 3: but politics fits in it because of the way we
Speaker 3: live our lives now.
Speaker 1: It's our favorite TV show.
Speaker 3: I know someone in particular that I'm concerned about who
Speaker 3: clearly thinks the people they interact with on their particular
Speaker 3: social media platform are their friends, like they have no
Speaker 3: because I know them. They have no real social life
Speaker 3: of any kind, like nobody, but they have a fairly
Speaker 3: large online presence. How's that going, Well, it seems to
Speaker 3: satisfy them. Maybe that you know, if you're satisfied, you're satisfied,
Speaker 3: but it ain't real.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to observe well.
Speaker 4: And then back to the main threat of the conversation,
Speaker 4: you can find yourself way way way off. Oh what
Speaker 4: like everybody believes, including.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party.
Speaker 3: But the article I referenced, it's The Fabulous Byron York
Speaker 3: in the Washington Examiner, and it's about how the recriminations
Speaker 3: are heating up after the lost election, and it goes
Speaker 3: through the things Democrats are angry about, and they spend
Speaker 3: a bit of time on the massive amount of money
Speaker 3: Harris spent and where it went.
Speaker 1: And then evidently there's a big flap.
Speaker 4: Over the prominent role Harris gave to Liz Cheney, and
Speaker 4: as Byron York points out, as if anybody needed him to,
Speaker 4: nobody cares what Liz Cheney thinks. Really, I mean, there
Speaker 4: aren't that many moveable, swayable Republicans who think, wow, Liz
Speaker 4: Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris with the open borders and
Speaker 4: the deficit spending and the inflation and the woke stuff.
Speaker 4: But by Gully, if Liz Cheney says that radical lefty
Speaker 4: lunatic is good enough, she's good enough for me. I
Speaker 4: mean nobody has said that, so I thought that was
Speaker 4: I mean, this is what you're arguing about. But then
Speaker 4: it gets to the part I really wanted to talk about,
Speaker 4: and that is Democrats are becoming angrier and angrier at
Speaker 4: the media. All of the coverage bias toward Democrats, all
Speaker 4: the celebrations of Harris, how she's great and popular and
Speaker 4: the switcher roof from Biden can absolutely run to Biden
Speaker 4: must go. And Harris is not crazy, unpopular, she's wonderful.
Speaker 4: They didn't notice that all the condemnations of Trump weren't enough.
Speaker 1: They think that.
Speaker 4: The liberal media establishment in New York Times, Washington Post,
Speaker 4: the Alphabet Networks, Hollywood music industry, academia. They were too
Speaker 4: timid in reporting on Trump's liabilities. And then it gets really,
Speaker 4: really crazy. In a new piece in the New Republic,
Speaker 4: longtime lefty journalist Michael Tamaski asked why voters could not
Speaker 4: see that Trump was so self evidently horrible and Harris
Speaker 4: was so good in comparison. The answer is right wing media,
Speaker 4: Timaski said. Today the right wing media, Fox News, Newsmax.
Speaker 1: One, American News Network, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 4: iHeartMedia, bah bah bah, the podcasting world. They set the
Speaker 4: news agenda in this country. Wow, all right, who sets
Speaker 4: the agenda? No, not the New York Times, Timaski continued,
Speaker 4: Not the Washington Post, not the Alphabet Networks. The agenda's
Speaker 4: set up by all the outlets I listed. Even the
Speaker 4: mighty New York Times follows in its wake. All right,
Speaker 4: so you got one lunatic. So what everybody knows that
Speaker 4: you got them yelling at fire hydrants in every city
Speaker 4: in America these days. But then John Stewart told Vanity
Speaker 4: Fair that media outlets on the Democratic side need to
Speaker 4: get tough. Quote, the media has to work more as
Speaker 4: a symbiotic organism in the way that weaponized media does.
Speaker 4: One thing that the right wing media does really well
Speaker 4: is work together as a unit.
Speaker 1: He's completely insane. Huh.
Speaker 3: That's interesting that that's the way they see it, because
Speaker 3: it looks sure looks like they work together as a unit.
Speaker 3: From our side, it looks like they get a memo
Speaker 3: on you know, Sunday morning of how to handle every issue.
Speaker 3: Everybody says, he uses the same phrases as the same
Speaker 3: point of.
Speaker 1: View, the same Yeah, exactly. That's hilarious.
Speaker 3: And John seriously, because I like you, You're a smart guy,
Speaker 3: very funny. That is the opposite of what's happening over here.
Speaker 3: We disagree with each other vehemently on lots of different stuff,
Speaker 3: and we talk about it and we a jaw about it,
Speaker 3: and we say things like, well, at least those of
Speaker 3: us who are not lunatics who are just to make
Speaker 3: money say crazy stuff like wow, you have a point there,
Speaker 3: or huh, I'll have to think about that, or I
Speaker 3: guess we can give it a try.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Over here on the right, we do the opposite of
Speaker 4: what you're suggesting, Johnny Boy, the opposite the idea that
Speaker 4: we've the John Storre saying, the one thing that Democrat
Speaker 4: media needs to do is get more organized and work
Speaker 4: together more, and then we'll win elections.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Disregard everything else I said. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're right, that's exactly what needs to happen. Just double
Speaker 3: down on that. Now, a word from our friends. It
Speaker 3: simply save home security. Oh boy, Yeah, if you're an
Speaker 3: NFL football player, you need this. Oh how about that?
Speaker 3: They think it's venezuelan gang of some sort ride out
Speaker 3: American robber gangs has decided to target high profile athletes.
Speaker 3: It started with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, but now
Speaker 3: it's basketball players, football player, soccer players all across the country.
Speaker 1: And of course you and your home. That's right.
Speaker 3: And maybe the Trump administration can put simply safe on
Speaker 3: the border. I don't know if that would work. They
Speaker 3: would have to customize it obviously, that would be a
Speaker 3: big order. But right now they can get sixty percent
Speaker 3: off any new system with select professional monitoring plan like
Speaker 3: simply say active Guard outdoor protection. It prevents the crime
Speaker 3: before it happens. They can see a venezuela and caravan
Speaker 3: before it enters the country and speak to them, perhaps
Speaker 3: in Spanish, and tell them to get away.
Speaker 1: That's where it works at your health.
Speaker 3: If they see someone lurking around, the agents can talk
Speaker 3: to them in real time. No long term contracts, no
Speaker 3: cancelation fees. It's only about a dollar a day that
Speaker 3: Moosi your bastards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dollar a day, No, no long term contracts, no
Speaker 4: cancelation fees.
Speaker 3: How different is that from your old crappy system. And again,
Speaker 3: Simply Safe is offering our friends you early access to
Speaker 3: their Black Friday sale this week. You can get sixty
Speaker 3: percent off any new system with select professional monitoring plan.
Speaker 3: Again simp safe dot com, slash armstrong, simplysafe dot com,
Speaker 3: slash armstrong.
Speaker 1: There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 3: I think the surprising thing to all of us on
Speaker 3: the story about all the pro athletes is you don't
Speaker 3: have a better security system than that. You got a
Speaker 3: twenty million dollar home, but you don't have like I
Speaker 3: would have a human being there if I had that
Speaker 3: kind of money, let alone a security system.
Speaker 4: Well, and a lot of them have beautiful high deff
Speaker 4: images of the people breaking into their homes and walking.
Speaker 1: Around in there.
Speaker 4: Uh right, you really need a better alarm system or something,
Speaker 4: or or dogs or again just an assistant.
Speaker 1: Dog.
Speaker 4: Hey, an assistant like seventy five grand a year, right,
Speaker 4: your only job? You listen, hang out in my house
Speaker 4: when I'm not.
Speaker 3: There, exactly, That's what I would do. Anyway, we've got
Speaker 3: a Katie's headlines on the way. I hope you can
Speaker 3: figure out strong man. I think, based on the news
Speaker 3: clip we played a little bit.
Speaker 1: Ago, the story of.
Speaker 3: Next week, as it has been the last several holidays,
Speaker 3: is going to be traveled. The millions of people stuck
Speaker 3: in airports, very angry that they're not going where the
Speaker 3: ticket said they were going to go at a fairly
Speaker 3: high expense.
Speaker 1: That'll be fun.
Speaker 3: That's before you even get to I mean, so they
Speaker 3: don't have enough aircraft controllers or whatever they got, they
Speaker 3: don't have enough of those. And they're already announcing that
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, the busiest travel day, they're going to slow
Speaker 3: down flights. They're going to delay them just to try
Speaker 3: to keep from falling behind.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting thing to do.
Speaker 3: We'll fall behind on purpose to keep from falling behind.
Speaker 3: That's before Southwest computers go haywire or something like that.
Speaker 4: Also, don't even say it. Oh boy, yeah, yeah. The
Speaker 4: airlines that are running computer systems designed in nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 4: which is twenty years after the government's computer systems were designed.
Speaker 3: Who's going to a floppy disk? We need a floppy disc. Well,
Speaker 3: they're using punch cards at the IRS. So yeah, anyway,
