Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2: Jetty and no Key.
Speaker 3: Armronge Well, I hadn't seen the breaking news that similar
Speaker 3: might be dead.
Speaker 2: The leader of hamas trying to nail that down. That's
Speaker 2: what that would be a big deal. Live from a
Speaker 2: studio c a dimly lit room deeper in the bowels
Speaker 2: of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. I don't know
Speaker 2: why we had to work the word bowels into our intro.
Speaker 2: It seems like that kind of a rough start.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, which
Speaker 2: has got to be the presidential election because it's getting hotter,
Speaker 2: it feels to me and more intense, and people are
Speaker 2: getting to like panicked fever pitch as I'm watching my
Speaker 2: cable news shows on every single dang topic as we're
Speaker 2: nineteen days out, and headline number one would be I
Speaker 2: don't think a single thing is gonna change out of
Speaker 2: the Kamala Harrison interview with Brett Bair from yesterday, We're
Speaker 2: going to play a whole bunch of highlights for you
Speaker 2: coming up here pretty soon. I was thinking about it,
Speaker 2: and what is regularly forgotten is that there's just a
Speaker 2: few thousand people that that interview really matters for or
Speaker 2: any of these stories, absolutely any story, every single day.
Speaker 2: It's a handful. By handful, we mean thousands, But it's
Speaker 2: a small percentage, very small percentage of undecided people that
Speaker 2: could go either way. Like ninety nine percent of us
Speaker 2: are gonna vote a specific way, almost regardless of anything
Speaker 2: that happens in the next nineteen days.
Speaker 4: Not completely.
Speaker 2: There could be an event, I think, although I can't
Speaker 2: imagine one off the top of my head that would
Speaker 2: persuade people to switch sides.
Speaker 4: But just ninety nine percent of us are going to
Speaker 4: vote a certain way.
Speaker 2: So you've only got seven states that could possibly go
Speaker 2: all one way or the other. And then within those states,
Speaker 2: like ninety eight percent are already decided. So it's just
Speaker 2: a certain percentage of people who knows how they get
Speaker 2: their information or how they make their decisions. But this tiny,
Speaker 2: tiny group of people that are going to decide the election.
Speaker 2: And I just feel like we forget that as we're
Speaker 2: watching the sport and the TV show. It's like the
Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor or something we watched this TV show called
Speaker 2: the presidential election.
Speaker 4: But almost everybody you know has already made up here.
Speaker 2: Do you know anybody that you think is still on
Speaker 2: the fence that could go either way? I don't even
Speaker 2: understand that mindset at this point. What I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Talk more about that later as I watch day focus
Speaker 2: group yesterday of undecided voters, and it's an interesting crowd.
Speaker 2: I haven't quite nailed down what their deal is yet,
Speaker 2: but with that tiny percentage being involved, I don't know
Speaker 2: how many of them watched the Kamala Harris interview on
Speaker 2: Brett Baar, but it was it was incredibly feisty. If
Speaker 2: you didn't see it, it was well, we were all
Speaker 2: texting each other. Katie, you said you were uncomfortable. I
Speaker 2: was uncomfortable. I was like I was uncomfortable in my
Speaker 2: own home watching it.
Speaker 5: It was one of those moments where you just kind
Speaker 5: of recoil, you know.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, why was that so uncomfortable? I don't know,
Speaker 4: but it's just like, eh, it's.
Speaker 5: Her, she's she's she came off as mean, you think,
Speaker 5: so heck yeah, dude, yeah, well with an attitude problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on your point of view obviously, Yes, Michael,
Speaker 2: what was your takeaway?
Speaker 6: Well, exactly what Katie said, But I was gonna say
Speaker 6: Brett bhar had pointed out that apparently she arrived late.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was something, huh.
Speaker 2: So she showed up like fifteen minutes late when they
Speaker 2: already had a narrow window for the interview anyway, to
Speaker 2: try to really compress it and make it even shorter.
Speaker 5: Well, apparently it had been mentioned to her team that
Speaker 5: they had until five point fifteen for the turnaround, and
Speaker 5: she walked in at five seventeen.
Speaker 4: So that explains the ending of the interview.
Speaker 2: If you saw it where you said, I'm getting a
Speaker 2: hard out, we got to stop and then basically just
Speaker 2: got cut off because they didn't get the allotted time.
Speaker 2: And you know that wasn't an accident. She wanted that
Speaker 2: to be as short as possible.
Speaker 4: I got.
Speaker 2: I took in a lot of the lefty media, as
Speaker 2: I predicted. They saw her as strong and combative and
Speaker 2: pushing back against the evil Fox hosts. So you know,
Speaker 2: it's all in the eye of the beholder. And this
Speaker 2: happens with every debate, every interview. If you like the person,
Speaker 2: their anger comes off as the sort of standing up
Speaker 2: for you you like, and if you don't like the person,
Speaker 2: they seem bitchy or like a jerk or whatever. And
Speaker 2: again that's because most of us have made up our
Speaker 2: minds about these candidates, and.
Speaker 4: There's just a tiny crowd of people that haven't yet.
Speaker 2: I was thinking the whole time watching Brett Baer, and
Speaker 2: he did his darnedest to try to ask the questions
Speaker 2: that people have wanted to asked and get them answered
Speaker 2: and follow up if she didn't answer him. And he
Speaker 2: was semi successful a couple of times, mostly not successful.
Speaker 2: Although I would say, and most of you have never
Speaker 2: had this experience, Joe and I have.
Speaker 4: And I'll only speak for myself here.
Speaker 2: I've never had a successful interview against a politician with
Speaker 2: a politican. I shouldn't say against, but I've never had
Speaker 2: a successful interview with a politician that I wanted to
Speaker 2: challenge on something. It's really really hard. If you think
Speaker 2: it's not, it is. It's really really hard. Unless you're
Speaker 2: going to jump in and like be a jerk. It's
Speaker 2: almost impossible. You ask them a question and they will
Speaker 2: ramble on until the time is all used up, and
Speaker 2: they will have said nothing and you'll and you'll be done.
Speaker 2: And as soon as you ask, you know, you think
Speaker 2: you just asked for a twenty percent increase in blah
Speaker 2: blah blah tax.
Speaker 4: How do you support that?
Speaker 2: Well, the people of California deserve And then and then
Speaker 2: you realize, okay, here we go. And then like four
Speaker 2: minutes later and you're almost used up. All the time
Speaker 2: they haven't said anything, so now you either got to
Speaker 2: interrupt them and look like a jerk and then they say, hey,
Speaker 2: let me finish.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's really really difficult.
Speaker 2: And even Brett himself on Fox yesterday was talking about
Speaker 2: how usually you have to wait for the breaths because
Speaker 2: at some point they have to take a breath and
Speaker 2: then you jump in.
Speaker 4: But I mean that's.
Speaker 2: Actually the way it is. It's almost like a fight.
Speaker 2: You have to wait until they take a break, then
Speaker 2: they get distracted so you can swing.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 2: It's really real boxing. Yeah, it's really really hard to do.
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure most people realize that. And Brett
Speaker 2: had decided clearly Brett Baer from the get go that
Speaker 2: he wasn't to let her do that first answer. When
Speaker 2: she started in on one of those things, he started
Speaker 2: interrupting them interrupting her, and that's when you get the
Speaker 2: split envisions. If you don't like her, you thought that
Speaker 2: was awesome. If you like her, you thought that was horrible.
Speaker 2: Gonna play a clip of Mika Brazinski as I saw
Speaker 2: her on Morning Joe on MSNBC This Morning talking about
Speaker 2: formally respected Brett Behar acting like an aggrieved child as
Speaker 2: he took on blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: I mean, so so again.
Speaker 5: These people are insufferable.
Speaker 4: It's in the e of the bolder. Oh, it's hard
Speaker 4: to take. It is really really hard to take.
Speaker 2: We'll get to some clips right away, but the main
Speaker 2: takeaway is I don't think it's going to move the
Speaker 2: needle at all, And it might move the needle, and
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know which direction. With these undecided voters, it
Speaker 2: you could have an event that doesn't move the polls
Speaker 2: but does decide the election because everything's within the margin
Speaker 2: of error. Every single state is within the margin of error,
Speaker 2: so you don't actually know where it is. So you
Speaker 2: could have something like the interview yesterday move enough people
Speaker 2: to cause one candidate or the other to win, but
Speaker 2: it wouldn't show up in the polls because it's too tiny,
Speaker 2: so we won't know until I was gonna say, election day,
Speaker 2: but as we've been saying, we're not going to find
Speaker 2: out an election day days later when they finally count
Speaker 2: the votes. It is so flipping up in the air,
Speaker 2: and anybody who claims they know what's gonna happen is
Speaker 2: a flat wrong. So I'm looking at the breaking news
Speaker 2: justin Israel is checking the possibility that Hamas leader yah
Speaker 2: Ya Sinwar was I don't know how you say his
Speaker 2: first name. Sinwar was among three people killed in the
Speaker 2: Gaza strip. He is the leader and has been for
Speaker 2: a long time of Hamas.
Speaker 4: He was behind the.
Speaker 2: October seventh attack. He ordered it, and they've been trying
Speaker 2: to get him for years and years and years. So
Speaker 2: if he is actually dead, that would mean that in
Speaker 2: the span of about a week and a half, Israel
Speaker 2: killed the leader and then everybody below of Hesbalah, who
Speaker 2: they'd been trying to kill for decades, and the leader
Speaker 2: of Hamas, So that would be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2: We'll keep our eye on this story. It'd be a
Speaker 2: shame if that evil bastard was dead.
Speaker 4: He is hye buye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a horrible human being he had been
Speaker 2: vowing thousands more October seventh, so it's not like he
Speaker 2: was ready to negotiate a ceasefire. We'll stay on top
Speaker 2: of that story. We got some clips from the interview.
Speaker 2: If you didn't hear it, obviously you want to stick around.
Speaker 2: If you did hear it, I would say, oftentimes, when
Speaker 2: you hear it the second time, it sounds a little
Speaker 2: different for variety of reasons, and we got that coming up.
Speaker 2: Let me start the show officially so we don't get
Speaker 2: in trouble with the FCC. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe
Speaker 2: Getty on this It is Thursday, October seventeenth, the year
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Life will not be a born twenty four.
Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: Let's begin it at how about Mark?
Speaker 7: Not to mention how Donald Trump has has treated and
Speaker 7: talked about America's military and military service people losers has.
Speaker 6: Diminished talking over each other.
Speaker 7: I poloiticize, and I would like that we would have
Speaker 7: a conversation and see.
Speaker 4: That's what the politician always says. Well, let's just happen
Speaker 4: back and forth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when I ask you a question, you go
Speaker 2: off into left field and just try to kill five
Speaker 2: minutes with your answer. It's really really hard and frustrating,
Speaker 2: and so I gave up on it. I don't know
Speaker 2: what Joe's opinion is. Maybe I have to ask him
Speaker 2: Monday when he's back, but I have no interest in
Speaker 2: even trying it. I've seen very few successful interviews by
Speaker 2: people who do it for a living, specifically interview politicians.
Speaker 4: It's hard to do.
Speaker 2: It's one of the reasons also that they get edited,
Speaker 2: so Heavenly, if you have an interview with any politician
Speaker 2: and you leave everything in, there's going to be a
Speaker 2: lot of blah blah blah that kills a lot of time,
Speaker 2: and then pretty soon as a listener you forget what
Speaker 2: it words evening happening.
Speaker 4: You start the space off. I've done that. I've done
Speaker 4: that out.
Speaker 2: On't know how many times were we have politicians we
Speaker 2: interview and they're in their answer and I'm thinking about, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I got to pick up the kids at three,
Speaker 2: and then I guess I'll swing by the girl.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be interviewing this person, and that's their goal.
Speaker 2: Their goal is to have you space out in the
Speaker 2: middle of their answer, and they're really good at it.
Speaker 4: Out what pizza you want? Yeah, exactly. Oh that's right.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to nail you down on your text hike.
Speaker 4: That's what they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happened with Kamala last night when he finally
Speaker 2: let her speak, like in that first chunk about immigration.
Speaker 4: Pretty soon I was like.
Speaker 2: How long is this supposed to be? Thirty minut Oh
Speaker 2: that's right, I'm supposed to be paying attention to this.
Speaker 2: They're just killing time. Anyway, we'll get to some of
Speaker 2: the highlights coming up. I'd like to hear some of
Speaker 2: your opinion on it. Our text line is four one
Speaker 2: five two nine five KFTC. We're just going to roll
Speaker 2: this from the beginning yesterday's debate interview between Brett Bear
Speaker 2: who is really really a good journalist, but as I said,
Speaker 2: interviewing politicians is damn hard, and Kamala Harris. I'm not
Speaker 2: exactly sure still why she went on Fox, other than
Speaker 2: so she can say she does tough interviews. I don't
Speaker 2: know if she needed to say that with nineteen days
Speaker 2: to go or not. But anyway, again, Brett Baar, you'll
Speaker 2: hear the way she answers the first question, and Brett,
Speaker 2: I can tell I knew in Brett, in Brett's mind,
Speaker 2: in my mind, I was thinking, Okay, she's going to
Speaker 2: kill a lot of time here. And he jumped in
Speaker 2: right away to try to not let her. But let's
Speaker 2: let this run for a while. Here's how it went.
Speaker 6: And when you came into office, your administration immediately reversed
Speaker 6: a number of Trump border policies, most significantly the policy
Speaker 6: that required illegal immigrants to be detained through deportation, either
Speaker 6: in the US or in Mexico. And you switched that policy,
Speaker 6: they were released from custody awaiting trial, so instead included
Speaker 6: in those were a large number of single men, adult
Speaker 6: men who went on to commit heinous crimes. So, looking back,
Speaker 6: do you regret the decision to terminate remain in Mexico
Speaker 6: At the beginning of your administration.
Speaker 7: At the beginning of our administration, within practically hours of
Speaker 7: taking the oath, the first bill that we offered Congress,
Speaker 7: before we worked on infrastructure, before the Inflation and Reduction Act,
Speaker 7: before the Chips and Science Act, before any before the
Speaker 7: Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the first bill practically within hours
Speaker 7: of taking the oath, was a bill to fix our immigration.
Speaker 6: System this, ma'am. It was called the US Citizen Citizenship
Speaker 6: Act of two thousand exactly twenty one. It was essentially,
Speaker 6: I've waded a citizenship for the finished.
Speaker 7: I finished responding, you have to let me finish.
Speaker 6: You had the White House and the House and the Senate.
Speaker 4: I mean, they didn't bring.
Speaker 7: Up responding to the point you're raising, and I'd like
Speaker 7: to finish, So.
Speaker 4: Can we stop there?
Speaker 2: So right there already I was uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable here
Speaker 2: did again skin crawling and uh again from taking in
Speaker 2: some of the lefty media. That is a look at
Speaker 2: the evil Fox host doing their thing, interrupting women because
Speaker 2: she's black and because she's a woman woman, Brett bar
Speaker 2: the white straight male not allowing her to talk exactly
Speaker 2: what we expect that on Fox News. So that's what
Speaker 2: the crowd at MSNBC and CNN saying, I mean seriously,
Speaker 2: that I watched it.
Speaker 4: I've got we've got some clips of.
Speaker 5: That that that fell right into the folder of the
Speaker 5: I'm speaking right exactly the exact same thing.
Speaker 2: And uh and and then Brett Behar is in the
Speaker 2: situation of, well, you either let her say that or
Speaker 2: you interrupt her, and the reason he is interrupting her
Speaker 2: trying to interrupt her, and I'm not sure unless you
Speaker 2: know the backstory you're able to fill figure out from
Speaker 2: them talking at the same time was actually going on.
Speaker 2: There was a piece of legislation that was introduced by
Speaker 2: the White House around a gration was basically an amnesty bill.
Speaker 2: It didn't even get taken up by the Democratic Senate,
Speaker 2: her own party, their own party, because Biden's president.
Speaker 4: Their own party didn't take it up.
Speaker 2: So it's why even talk about it, Why even mention it?
Speaker 2: You put out an amnesty bill that your own party
Speaker 2: said no to. So that was her opening, And if
Speaker 2: Brett hadn't interrupted her, she was going to kill a
Speaker 2: minute talking about some legislation that never even made it
Speaker 2: to the floor.
Speaker 4: Let's let it roll on a little bit longer.
Speaker 7: We recognized from day one that to the point of
Speaker 7: this being your first question, it is a priority for
Speaker 7: us as a nation and for the American people, and
Speaker 7: our focus has been on fixing a problem. And from
Speaker 7: day one then we have done a number of things,
Speaker 7: including to address our asylum system and put more resources,
Speaker 7: getting more judges. What we needed to do to tighten
Speaker 7: up penalties and increase penalties for illegal cross what we
Speaker 7: needed to do to deal with points of entry between
Speaker 7: border entry points. That's the work we did, and we
Speaker 7: worked on supporting what was a bipartisan effort, including some
Speaker 7: of the most conservative members of the United States Congress,
Speaker 7: to actually strengthen the border. That Border bill would have
Speaker 7: put fifteen hundred more border agents at the border, which
Speaker 7: is why I believe the border patrol agents supported the bill.
Speaker 7: It would have allowed us to stem the flow of
Speaker 7: fentanyl coming into the United States, which is a scorge
Speaker 7: affecting people of every background, every geographic location in our country,
Speaker 7: killing people. It would have allowed us to put more
Speaker 7: resources into prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, which I have done
Speaker 7: as the attorney general, former attorney general of a border state.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're going to take a breakreat there, and
Speaker 2: then we're going to come back and we're going to
Speaker 2: get into the pushback from Brettbeaer and then the reaction
Speaker 2: from some people on the left to the interview with
Speaker 2: Brettbeer pressing her in all that sort of stuff. So
Speaker 2: you'll have an idea of where, you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know how you felt about the interview, but you'll you'll
Speaker 2: have an idea of how both sides felt about the interview,
Speaker 2: and we'll see if it matters or not.
Speaker 4: Among other things coming up, stay.
Speaker 2: With us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 6: This was kind of a sense that she was going
Speaker 6: to keep on talking and that if I wanted to
Speaker 6: get through and redirect, I was going to have to interrupt.
Speaker 6: I don't particularly love to do that, but if I
Speaker 6: didn't do it, there may have been, you know, four
Speaker 6: answers in the interview.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's the situation you're always in when you're
Speaker 2: interviewing a politician, is if they if they they always do.
Speaker 2: They come in with the plan they're going to answer
Speaker 2: as few questions as possible, and on the particularly difficult
Speaker 2: questions are going to go all kinds of sideways and
Speaker 2: tangents and whatever. And if you don't jump in, you
Speaker 2: you don't have a chance to get in an answer.
Speaker 2: But when you jump in, you always run the risk
Speaker 2: of being called bad names or looking like a jerk.
Speaker 4: So that's a situation. So this is the very beginning.
Speaker 2: This is the very beginning of the interview with Brett
Speaker 2: Bahar and Kamala Harris yesterday you know.
Speaker 6: Voters tell polsters all over the country and here in
Speaker 6: Pennsylvania that immigration is one of the key issues that
Speaker 6: they're looking at this election, and specifically the influx of
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants from more than one hundred and fifty countries.
Speaker 6: How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
Speaker 6: released into the country over the last three and a
Speaker 6: half years.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration, because
Speaker 7: I agree with you it is it is a topic
Speaker 7: of discussion that people want to rightly have, and you
Speaker 7: know what I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're just a number. Do you think it's
Speaker 6: one million? Three million?
Speaker 7: Brett, Let's just get to the point, okay. The point
Speaker 7: is that we have a broken immigration system that needs
Speaker 7: to be repaired.
Speaker 6: So your Homeland Security secretary said that eighty five percent
Speaker 6: of apprehension.
Speaker 7: I'm not finished.
Speaker 5: We have a.
Speaker 6: Refreshment of six million people have been released into the country.
Speaker 6: And let me just finish. I'll get you the question
Speaker 6: I prompt I.
Speaker 7: Was beginning to answer.
Speaker 2: So, as you heard there, he asked her about illegal
Speaker 2: immigration and how many millions were let in, and she says,
Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked that because a legal immigration is
Speaker 2: a topic that people rightly want to discuss in America.
Speaker 2: Right then, you know, okay, I mean, what the hell?
Speaker 2: What a weird sentence that is? That is a topic
Speaker 2: of Americans rightly want to discuss at this time.
Speaker 5: And what what what is that that is so wild?
Speaker 2: So then he's got the option. His only option is
Speaker 2: to think, Okay, here we go. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: get an answer. She showed up fifteen minutes late to
Speaker 2: a half hour interview. I'm not going to get a
Speaker 2: chance to talk about anything if I don't interrupt her.
Speaker 2: So he starts an interrupter, and then she but I
Speaker 2: was about to answer, But I was just about to answer,
Speaker 2: and then he kept trying to ask a question whatever.
Speaker 2: So just to let you know how the other side
Speaker 2: feels about this, in case you don't take in other
Speaker 2: side media, This is Maka Berzsenski on Morning Joe, the
Speaker 2: most popular important progressive cable news show in America, on
Speaker 2: how she saw it.
Speaker 1: It was supposed to get viewers an opportunity to actually
Speaker 1: hear her plans as president. Instead, as you saw it
Speaker 1: almost immediately devolved into an embarrassing bad faith effort by
Speaker 1: a once respected host to play to an audience of one.
Speaker 1: The host's constant rude interruptions were designed to distract from
Speaker 1: the issues and facts that Trump and his accolytes try
Speaker 1: and twist and distort every day, and on Fox News
Speaker 1: they try and avoid and they couldn't.
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 2: Oh oh.
Speaker 4: That so that's the way they see it. What was
Speaker 4: she watching again?
Speaker 2: It's just I guess it's a rushock test these things.
Speaker 2: I mean, because I only know inside my own head.
Speaker 2: To me as a guy who's tried to interview politicians before,
Speaker 2: it was a okay, here she goes, she's not going
Speaker 2: to answ so the question. So he tried to jump in,
Speaker 2: which is always hullibuster, right, but for the left crowd,
Speaker 2: it was he jumped in to try to distract her
Speaker 2: from giving the answers Americans want to you know, need
Speaker 2: to hear or something. Once respected Fox News host. That
Speaker 2: was so dramatic. I know, Well, she goes on, let's
Speaker 2: hear a little more.
Speaker 1: When Kamala Harris realized the host was not going to
Speaker 1: let her speak, the only way the Vice president could
Speaker 1: give Fox viewers an opportunity to hear what she had
Speaker 1: to say was to talk back over him. Was he
Speaker 1: making sure that happened? I personally think absolutely. Did she
Speaker 1: do well in this environment? Of course she was great.
Speaker 1: She's a former prosecutor, attorney general, senator, current vice president.
Speaker 1: She's fine with a situation like that and even flourishes.
Speaker 2: This is why I always say, you ought to watch
Speaker 2: take in news from different sources so you know what
Speaker 2: the other half of America feels like. And I say
Speaker 2: that to everyone, like I have friends that would never
Speaker 2: ever dare to watch Fox News. Okay, well you're missing
Speaker 2: out on half the news in America or or as
Speaker 2: Brett pointed out to her at one point where he
Speaker 2: was asking, well, why does half the country agree with him?
Speaker 2: If he's as evil as you say? It's worth here
Speaker 2: on the other side, Like, you would never know, would you, Katie,
Speaker 2: unless you watch that. The Mika Brazinski crowd took that
Speaker 2: clear victory for Kamala Harris absolutely owned the interview with
Speaker 2: the evil interrupting Brett Bhaer, who was just trying to
Speaker 2: distract while she tried vainly, too desperately to answer the
Speaker 2: questions for Americans.
Speaker 4: He kept jumping in and stopping her.
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I do. Obviously, I do this for
Speaker 5: a living, and I listened to the other side frequently,
Speaker 5: but I damn near dislocated my jaw listening to her.
Speaker 4: And that incredible.
Speaker 5: It's like, I don't even think we watched the same thing, Like, Wow,
Speaker 5: it's something.
Speaker 4: It is something.
Speaker 5: The fact that they actually think that.
Speaker 2: Way, I know, and they would say the same thing
Speaker 2: about me, I suppose.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: And when she says, well, one thing that's definitely wrong,
Speaker 2: designed for an audience of won that's implying that Brett
Speaker 2: Behar only asks questions to.
Speaker 4: Please Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: I freaking guarantee you what Donald Trump thought of the
Speaker 2: interview never crept into Brett Bear's mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the tiniest bit.
Speaker 2: He of all people on Fox does not care what
Speaker 2: Donald Trump think. If it was handity, perhaps, but Brett
Speaker 2: bar doesn't care what Brett Bar makes thirty five million
Speaker 2: dollars a year. Do you see the picture of the
Speaker 2: home he just sold. He's fine, is.
Speaker 5: Moving into like a seventeen million dollar home, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: in a different location. But yeah, it's so that whole
Speaker 5: thing that Trump runs Fox News, which is interesting given
Speaker 5: the fact that in the lead up to the debate.
Speaker 5: We were getting so many texts from people that Fox
Speaker 5: hates Trump, so they're going to do soft balls, et cetera,
Speaker 5: et cetera. One other thing that they said later on
Speaker 5: MSNBC in the criticism was that the the questions that
Speaker 5: Brett bhar asked and we'll get to some more of
Speaker 5: the interview coming up later in the show, but the
Speaker 5: questions that Brett bhar asked were clearly practically written by
Speaker 5: the Trump campaign. Okay, you really think immigration and the
Speaker 5: economy and taxpayer funded surgeries for trans prisoners has to
Speaker 5: be written by the Trump campaign that any person who
Speaker 5: leans right couldn't come up with those questions.
Speaker 2: On their own. I mean, this is pretty obvious questions
Speaker 2: to me. I mean, play that one clip again of
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. This is from the very beginning and then
Speaker 2: just right after her opening sentence, because her opening sentence
Speaker 2: is so amazing.
Speaker 6: You know, voters tell polsters all over the country and
Speaker 6: here in Pennsylvania that immigration is one of the key
Speaker 6: issues that they're looking at this election.
Speaker 4: And specifically the flux of.
Speaker 6: Illegal immigrants from more than one hundred and fifty countries.
Speaker 6: How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
Speaker 6: released into the country over the last three and a
Speaker 6: half years.
Speaker 7: Here you go, Well, I'm glad you raised the issue
Speaker 7: of immigration because I agree with you. It is a
Speaker 7: topic of discussion that people want to rightly have.
Speaker 4: And yeah, but what what is that? What the hell
Speaker 4: is that?
Speaker 5: Set filler filler?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that is obviously you might as well just
Speaker 2: put up a flag to break. I'm going to try
Speaker 2: to kill time here. See if you can stop me,
Speaker 2: go good luck, try to stop me. Ready you go.
Speaker 5: I was watching with close caption and it was nothing
Speaker 5: but question mark.
Speaker 4: That is I'm glad you brought up immigration.
Speaker 2: That is a topic that Americans rightly need the decisions
Speaker 2: of the people to what are you talking about? But
Speaker 2: of course, one thing they don't want to answer is
Speaker 2: how many millions of working age men have disappeared into
Speaker 2: this country from who knows where?
Speaker 4: Millions.
Speaker 2: They don't want to get into that topic, and then
Speaker 2: they get into the back and the forth, and then
Speaker 2: him trying to talk over and well, we all.
Speaker 5: Have dreams and aspirations.
Speaker 2: Right, But well, I'll read this summary from Mark Alprin's
Speaker 2: newsletter Today, Team Harris and Dominant Media argue that her
Speaker 2: sitting down with Brettbear was a triumph and Trump's town
Speaker 2: hall was a disaster, while mar A.
Speaker 4: Lago makes the opposite case.
Speaker 2: He says, and this was my point at the opening
Speaker 2: of the show, I defer to undecided voters in the
Speaker 2: battleground states on this one. Yeah, whether you're pleased with
Speaker 2: her or outraged by her, you almost certainly have already
Speaker 2: made up your mind on this. And it's just that
Speaker 2: crowd of people in you know, the states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada,
Speaker 2: and North Carolina that are undecided for whatever reason, how
Speaker 2: they saw it, if they saw it, or the clips
Speaker 2: that they see, how they felt about it's the only
Speaker 2: thing that matters out of that. And the campaign was
Speaker 2: playing to that crowd now, I would say, on the
Speaker 2: topic of undecided voters, and I find this fascinating.
Speaker 4: I said this the other day. If you heard it,
Speaker 4: then I apologize. But I was watching.
Speaker 2: I've seen a couple of town hall or panels now
Speaker 2: with undecided voters from the swing states, and in my mind,
Speaker 2: these people were morons. I just assumed they were idiots,
Speaker 2: like just the dumbest people you've ever met in your life.
Speaker 2: But that hasn't been the case. They all they're all
Speaker 2: like Jim from.
Speaker 4: Michigan. You haven't made up your mind the Yetdea.
Speaker 2: Tell me what you do for a living, Jim, Well,
Speaker 2: I'm an orthodonist and I got four kids and I
Speaker 2: was a marine.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jim, why haven't made up your mind yet? Well,
Speaker 4: I'm still looking forward.
Speaker 2: And they're well spoken, successful, seem educated people that have
Speaker 2: some quirk or something where they just haven't latched onto
Speaker 2: one side or the other. I don't I don't quite
Speaker 2: get it. But they're definitely not dumb. I haven't seen
Speaker 2: any of the undecided voters at least in any of
Speaker 2: these focus groups that I've watched, that you would describe
Speaker 2: as dumb or even or even they call them low
Speaker 2: information voters. Usually I wouldn't even call them low information voters.
Speaker 2: They seem to have watched the debates and the interviews
Speaker 2: and the rallies and all the stuff. They're taking in
Speaker 2: the information and they just for I don't know what
Speaker 2: it is if they're I wonder if they're really they
Speaker 2: have a hard time making the decision. We still don't
Speaker 2: have a car because I haven't decided if I want
Speaker 2: to hont to a quarter or fort f one fifty.
Speaker 2: So I'm still weighing the facts and the tooking a
Speaker 2: look at the insurance and the car payments.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're just hard at making decisions. Maybe they practically
Speaker 2: starve to death sitting at a restaurant. I have no idea,
Speaker 2: but they can't make up their mind.
Speaker 5: Yes, Katie, Oh no, sorry you said that, and it
Speaker 5: made me jump. I dated somebody like that that couldn't
Speaker 5: make decision. Could. We went to a shoe store and
Speaker 5: it took an hour and forty minutes for him to
Speaker 5: pick out a pair he wanted to try on our
Speaker 5: forty It was it was insane. I was like, you
Speaker 5: need help.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so maybe that's it. Maybe I've struck upon it.
Speaker 2: It's people who just have trouble making decisions.
Speaker 4: Mm hm.
Speaker 5: We'd go to a restaurant menu waitress would come up
Speaker 5: and he actually looked at me once and went, I'm panicking.
Speaker 4: I'm panicking.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, So it's some sort of decision paralysis, That's
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna call it.
Speaker 5: That's a that's actually perfect.
Speaker 2: And how would you describe his intelligence highly intelligent. So
Speaker 2: there you go. It's not a dumb thing. It's just
Speaker 2: a can't make decisions thing. Yeah wow, how come I
Speaker 2: haven't heard any more people talk about this regularly. You
Speaker 2: hear the term low information voter. But like I said,
Speaker 2: that doesn't seem to be the case at all. And
Speaker 2: your your your friend here, he didn't. He wasn't lacking
Speaker 2: information about the shoes after an hour forty No.
Speaker 5: To make a decision and stick to it. Oh god,
Speaker 5: the cheesecake factory was our hell. Size of that menu. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's way too many choices. I do kind of like
Speaker 5: it when you go to a fancy restaurant. They got
Speaker 5: like five things, one fish, one steak, one pasta, one vegetarian.
Speaker 2: These are your choices, Yeah, these your choices? Yeah wow.
Speaker 2: So that's it. It's people have trouble making decisions. Well
Speaker 2: as if I'm running a campaign, how do you sway
Speaker 2: that person? Maybe that's why both candidates are running on
Speaker 2: giving you stuff. Now, I'll give you this much money.
Speaker 2: If you're this crowd, I'll give you this much money,
Speaker 2: or tax breaks if you that crowd. Maybe just giving
Speaker 2: people stuff, we'll get him over the hump. But that's fascinating.
Speaker 2: We got to talk about that more later. We've got
Speaker 2: Katie's headlines on the way. We're gonna talk to Mike
Speaker 2: Lyons at some point about a couple of different wars
Speaker 2: that have taken different turns.
Speaker 4: All on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here, we have at our store new T shirts.
Speaker 2: Hot dogs are dogs. That's one of our favorite sayings.
Speaker 2: It's about the whole trans issue, which came up during
Speaker 2: the interview between Brett Bahar and Kamala Harris sist and
Speaker 2: we'll play that portion for you a little bit later.
Speaker 2: Brett trying to nail her down specifically on the taxpayer
Speaker 2: funded sex change surgeries for inmates, which is really quite
Speaker 2: a topic. And but anyway, lots more on the way.
Speaker 2: Let's get the headlines now, who's reporting what Katie Green?
Speaker 5: All right? Starting with CNN. US officials have long looked
Speaker 5: to Sinwar's eventual death as a key opportunity to end
Speaker 5: the Israel Hamas war.
Speaker 2: And so there are a lot of headlines around that Sinwar,
Speaker 2: the leader of Hamas, may be dead.
Speaker 5: There are some gruesome photos on the Twitter machine.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Oh yeah, if you.
Speaker 5: Type in Sinwar, they're they're the body that they found
Speaker 5: that they're speculating as.
Speaker 2: Him is everywhere. Well, I'd be a crying shame. I
Speaker 2: sure hope he didn't, you know, suffer. Oh stop it,
Speaker 2: that was sarcasm.
Speaker 5: From ABC News. Biden will seek to shore up Ukraine
Speaker 5: support in Germany, according to a senior Administration official.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are going to be talking about a couple
Speaker 2: of different hotspots with Mike Lyons an hour two of

Speaker 4: Demand from CBS News.
Speaker 5: Independent panel investigating Trump rally shooting warns of quote deep
Speaker 5: flaws within secret surface, calls for quote fundamental reform.

Speaker 2: of them seemed incredibly obvious or weird, are fixed so
Speaker 2: this can ever happen again.
Speaker 5: Brightbart dot com, it's gotta stop. Brett Baar reveals for
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris. Staffers waved their arms pleading to end the
Speaker 5: Fox interview.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd seen.
Speaker 2: If you saw the interview there at the end, it
Speaker 2: was clear that he was getting the cut it off.

Speaker 5: and alcohol abuse according to a new study.
Speaker 4: Wow, hey, I.
Speaker 5: Have two friends on this. Both of them told me that,
Speaker 5: like they even the thought of drinking makes them not
Speaker 5: feel good. They were partiers.
Speaker 2: Really Yeah, wouldn't that be something that the curbing the
Speaker 2: craving to eat more than you should also does that
Speaker 2: for drinking and drugs?
Speaker 4: Wow, that could end up being a thing.
Speaker 2: Like you know, viagra was originally a blood pressure medicine
Speaker 2: and they realized, hey, your blood pressure's down, but look
Speaker 2: at that direction.

Speaker 4: a side benefit. Maybe this is gonna be one.

Speaker 2: him in rubble, dead at knee, ain't looking so good,
Speaker 2: and parts of his head.
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's dead. That that really looks like him.
Speaker 4: So the IDF was to put that out.
