WEBVTT - Go Ahead Turd Boy 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:25.040 Jettie enough He Armstrong and Yehetty have an updated you 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.760 on this. We probably should have. Control of the House 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.360 is still uncertain as of this time, with more than 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.120 a dozen close races remaining undecided. They're still countant votes. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.560 Republicans have won two hundred and eleven compared to Democrats 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.120 one ninety nine. The total is four thirty five. Obviously 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.640 you need half or more of that to be in control. 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.320 They're currently leading in enough races, though mostly in Arizona 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.559 and California, which looks like took back a lot of 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.480 spots and created some new ones. It looks like the 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.480 Republicans are definitely going to reach the two hundred and 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.480 eighteen seats needed to hold the majority. Currently have fifty 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.600 three Senate seats, with a possibility of a few more. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:11.160 So Donald freaking Trump is easily won and is going 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:16.360 to have a solid Senate majority and slim to slightly 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.560 more than slim House majority. So be interesting to see 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:20.880 what the Republicans can do with that. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.560 Really glad to hear that I just read on day one, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.360 which is a silly cliche. Really, the first couple of months, 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.039 it'd be fine. But on day one, Trump will sign 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.520 an executive order to cut federal funding for any school 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.640 pushing transgender insanity and other inappropriate sexual content on our children. 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.200 And he will ask Congress to send a bill to 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.800 his desk prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all fifty. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.640 States, something they've already done in lots of other countries. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.200 Yeah, and a number of US states too. It's close 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.440 to the majority at this point. You haven't heard about 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.920 it because it's never reported on by the lying legacy 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.920 media unless it's to point out the horrors of the 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.760 bigotry quote unit quote Anyway, a lot of stuff to 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.840 squeeze into the last hour of the week. But first, 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.160 it's a fond look back at the week that was. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.440 It's an emotional journey taken by our friends on the 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.200 left side of the aisle. It's cow clips of the week. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.240 Look what happened? Is this rare? Is anyone else humming 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:18.680 the meltdown? You got to put a turd on the 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:24.760 front of that thing, which for the week. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.600 I'm exhausted, I'm babbling, I'm doing crazy things with the microphone. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.560 The American people want to stop the chaos and end 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.359 the DRAMAA. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.960 It is entirely possible that we will not have the 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.040 opportunity to ever cast a ballot again. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.359 You have to defeat him. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.080 They did the kind of guys you're like, just smacking 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:51.640 the ass. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.959 America is ready for a fresh start. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.160 I'm going to be toasting Madam President tonight. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.280 And it just came over the wires that Joe Rogan 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.280 just endorsed me. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.800 Is it? People believe they're voting for a way of life. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.800 Donald Harris is a bigger problem among men than Donald 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.440 Trump does among women. On election night, don't expect to 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.919 know the winner. The winner is Donald Trump only smokes. 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.720 Look what happened? Is this crazy? 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.800 Maybe America great again? 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.600 Clearly fear and anger is what he was marketing, and 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.960 it worked. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.880 I can't help but wonder if the American people have 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.880 given up on democracy. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.880 The majority has spoken and they said they don't care 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.400 that much about democracy, and. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.960 Shall we keep it a lot of our fellow women 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.600 Americans say we shouldn't. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:07.040 There's misogyny. Some of the most misogynist things I've heard 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.640 came from Bright me in what the Alice in Wonderland nightmares? 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.480 Is going on? Right now? 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:15.560 Did we get here? 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.480 And I hope you go jump off of a thick bridge. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:30.839 It's the economy, stupid, the revenge of just a regular, old, 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.279 working class America, the anonymous American who has been crushed. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.440 Do you want to stand up to Trump? I suggest 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.559 you don't ever mention him. I suggest you governed well. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:46.919 The American experiment endors We're going to be okay only 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:57.000 when it is dark enough. Can you see the stars? Marria? 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.960 Lady jaw jaw? Is that the way pronounce it? There 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.600 at the end, I'm singing the national anthem, jajaw Jeebiden. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.600 I had a thought as we were listening to that, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.040 and I hope I can express it with the eloquence 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:24.720 it deserves. 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.120 Don't hold your breath. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.400 I'm thinking of one of those moments, like in high school, 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:36.039 where a teacher is saying something dumb or whatever, but 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.080 his back is turned as he writes on the chalkboard, 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.440 and all the kids in the school, in the class 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.760 are looking at each other silently kind of given each 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.120 other the nonverbal wink. We all get how silly this is, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.039 and we're all on the same page. Nothing has to 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.520 be said. It's kind of a fun moment when you 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.080 have those in life. It occurred to me, especially listening 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.320 to Oprah, and then Old David came part the New 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:05.680 York Times columnists who said America has given up on democracy, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:12.479 and then Colbert echoed that apparently we've abandoned democracy looking 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.680 at the election results, and a lot of the sayanocrats 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.080 as I'm calling them, the sane Democrats have come out 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.920 afterward and they despised the woke lunatics as much as us. 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.039 All across this country. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.800 People heard the most famous woman in America, certainly one 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.520 of them, Oprah amplified on all the most important legacy 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.599 media saying, if you don't vote for Kamala, there'll never 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.360 be another election. And we all looked at each other, 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.719 stifling a giggle and all agreed, these people are nuts. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.680 And it wasn't amplified by the mainstream media. It was 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:54.919 on like Twitter, but a big, big cohort of Americans 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.160 thought exactly what you thought when you heard that crap. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:06.039 You just didn't know it. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:13.160 It's Friday. My thoughts are with other things. I was 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.400 just watching Kelly RiPP and her husband on TV. It's 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.480 up on the television up there. I've never actually seen 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.320 the show, but if you've never seen the Kelly Rippa show, 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.760 she at the beginning they have somebody out of the audience, 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.480 or when they come back from commercial, they have people 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:29.280 out of the audience dancing to popular music on the stage. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.360 And sometimes and this is my question is going to 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.440 because so I've got the volume down, I can't even 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.400 hear the music. But you can tell the people that 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.080 have no rhythm even without being able to hear the music. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.080 So what is it? What is the ability to dance? 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:55.040 Do you have any idea? Is it rhythm? Is it athleticism? 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:01.040 Is what's a unique sort of athleticism. It's it's a 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.960 mind body connection that some people have and some don't. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.520 I mean, to me, it's like being able to throw 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.040 a breaking pitch for a strike. Some people you can 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.320 work with them the rest of their lives. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.600 They can never do it. It's not it's it's it 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.160 doesn't fit in with all other athleticism. I mean, usually 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.840 people who are athletic are good at a whole bunch 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.560 of different things. But I've known good athletes that couldn't 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.080 dance and I've known people that could dance like crazy 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.800 that you know, couldn't throw a ball to save their lives. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.320 So yeah, they don't fit together like that. So you 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.559 think it's a unique brand of athleticism. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.040 Well yeah, this is straight out of the seventeenth chapter 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.079 of the first volume of my autobiography Sports. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.280 Yes, dancing, No, do we have anybody who can? Michael, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:44.880 can you dance? 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:45.880 No? Not at all. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.920 Hanson, are you a dancer? I've never seen you dance, 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.200 But can you dance? Well? No, thank you means you 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:52.840 don't like it? Well, you probably can't. If you don't, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.680 I think if you can dance, people like it. Katie, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.400 are you a dancer? Can you dance? I am you can't? Cool? Cool? 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.000 Good for you. Many more women than men are dancers. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.439 Tah danced ballet, jazz, all of it for like fourteen years. 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.000 I wish I could. It looks like life would be 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.760 a lot more fun if you could run out there 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.440 on the dance floor all through junior high, high school, 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.360 every wedding, you go to everything like that and like one, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.160 enjoy it and not feel like you're making a fool 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.560 of yourself. Do you have a sense of why, what 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.320 skill it is. It allows you to do it that 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.280 the rest of us don't have. Keeping a beat. Yeah, 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.240 But like I said, I can look true, I can 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.000 look up at the TV what do you mean and 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.320 tell the people that can't dance without even knowing what 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:32.880 the beat is. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:38.160 No, I can explain to you and play polyrhythmic patterns 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.680 on several different instruments, and I cannot dance a leg. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.520 I got my best example that I've always used for this. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.000 Have you ever seen Ringo star dance. Maybe the world's 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:52.079 most famous drummer. He has no rhythm whatsoever when he's dancing. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:56.120 He ye, but obviously he has rhythm. So there's some 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:01.560 disconnect there. I think that's commonly what people say, that 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.360 you have no rhythm. But you know, like I said, 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.480 there's all kinds of musicians that can't dance. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.199 I think being able to keep a beat and keep 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.480 an account with what's going on with the music has 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.560 everything to do with it. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.880 Well, it's helpful. In the absence of it, you will 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.080 be a bad dancer. But in this, you know, there 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.040 are a thousand examples of this. All a rhythmic people 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.400 are bad dancers. Not all bad dancers are a rhythm. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.040 Yeah, that makes sense. I wonder why this hasn't been 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.840 studied more like that might be the best ex ex. 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.839 Nobody cares. It's a either can or you can't. Y 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.719 past past a certain age you don't need to care. 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.680 But like my kids are in the age where you 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.560 got to care, and it'll last a while. I dreaded, 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:44.440 Oh no. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.040 No, no, I'm not saying they don't care about the 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.400 If they don't care about the why every wedding I 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.520 went to through my twenties and thirties, I was glad 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.480 when I finally aged out of weddings. 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.360 I thought, I may never have to dance again in 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.560 my life. Yeah, I mean never be put in this 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.800 position again in my life, Thank freaking God. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.800 Yeah, I remember fairly vividly, Katie. You might be amused 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.200 by this as I because as a kid, I was 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.800 a really good athlete and stuff. But and then I 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.120 got into like drama and music and stuff like that, 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.640 and I could sing and I could act and the 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:14.120 rest of it. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.520 And then it came time. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.960 It was in high school for the musicals to do 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.959 some choreography for the musical numbers, and I thought, all right, 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.240 here we go, and uh, and I was I was 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.959 bad at it, and so I thought, you know what, 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.920 this is something I gotta work on. I'm gonna get 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.440 good at it. And I tried and I tried, and 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.920 I tried, and I just sucked at it. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.800 I could not improve on it. It's like my joke 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:37.520 about bowling. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.000 If twelve year old Joe, twenty five year old Joe 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.280 and current Joe had a bowling tournament, we would hold tie. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.880 I've never improved a lick for some reason, at the 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:47.640 game of bowling. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.160 Okay, yeah, except for one. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.200 One day I bowled a ninety five, A two twenty 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.360 seven wow in a one oh five? 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:01.520 Kid, You freaking not? WHOA? Ask Rich the bass player 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.200 from the Dead Flowers. He saw it all. What was 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.000 your level of inebriation? Oh yeah, good point. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:08.760 No, I don't think we were drinking at all. We 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.760 were bowling with his son. It was like eleven o'clock 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:11.240 in the morning. 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.800 I get better with I get better at stuff with. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.439 It's very weird. Do we get do we get better 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.240 at dancing with drinking, or do we just think we 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.280 do it? I misthink we have never seen a video 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.800 of myself dancing when I'm drunk, but I certainly felt 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.280 like I was. I think it's both. It's both interesting enough. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.559 I danced for years, great memory with the routines, get 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.160 up on stage one, trophies, all that stuff. I was 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.640 in a wedding five months ago and had to remember 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:43.319 a bridesmaid's dance. I almost said an unfortunate word bride'smaids dance, 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:48.400 and uh wow was that difficult? And I don't know 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.880 what that was. But yeah, I finally got it down. 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.600 But I was up there watching all the other girls. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.360 I was like, wow, I am. I am not as 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.959 good as this, and. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.720 I'm telling you I've tried as hard as I could. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.720 But like dancing the hook, you poke, you put your 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.559 right foot in, you put your right foot out, I'm like, well, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:03.480 slow down, slow. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:10.880 Down, oh man, getting old sucks. I was watching Jimmy 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.800 Fallon on so he dances with people a lot. I 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.720 saw something on the Tonight Show the other night where 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.480 this dancing instructor came out and taught him so do 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.720 a couple of like heel toe cross kicks or whatever, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.559 and he'd be like picked it up and like immediately 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.040 was doing it. Like I don't know, I mean, that's 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.520 like speaking Latin to me as far as imagining being 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.360 able to pick that up and do it instantly. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.880 One thing I can do is Irish dance with your 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.680 hands at your side, and yeah, hands at your side 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:35.680 and you click your heels together. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:36.040 I can. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.440 Maybe this is my kind of dancing. Maybe waste up. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.920 I'm a bad dancer. Waist down, let me try it me. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.760 I'm I'm jigging like a natural. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.600 Yeah, guys, just cut it off at the waist your 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.240 river dancing. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.800 You wouldn't even know. We'll try to jam in somewhere. Friday, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:14:04.840 Goodness into the show, stay with us, stress teams it away. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:12.360 Did the vision kick the race a fourteenth point deficit 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:13.720 to lead by seven? 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.240 You know you're right, Hanson. That was a terrible call. Awful, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:18.280 not even worth area way. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.200 Why did we play that? That's hard to imagine. This 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.880 was one of the more exciting games I've seen in 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:28.120 recent years, and that was our clip anyway, ninety year 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.160 old all Michael's doing TV commentary. Very exciting game on 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.880 Thursday Night football came down to the last play of 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.000 the game where it was tie it with a field 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.200 with an extra point kicker go for two, and they 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:47.720 went for two and lost to the Ravens. So but 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.440 that is a what do you do? What do you do? 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.440 You do the coach thing you're on the road, win 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.840 or go home with the extra point? Or do you 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.560 kick the extra point and hope for the best in 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:04.120 overtime on the road. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.760 Probably try to win the game, especially if I've got 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:07.920 like a losing record. 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.360 Yeah, because last week whoever is playing the Chiefs, they 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.480 kicked the extra point and went into overtime at Arrowhead 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.520 in the rain, which seemed like a terrible idea to me, 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.040 go for the two and get out of Arrowhead with 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.360 a win. But anyway, enough of that, here's something damned 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.840 interesting you might not know. We did mention that the 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.760 Republicans controlled the Senate with fifty three and they might 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.200 have more. Chris Steierwald and Sarah i Isger of The 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.520 Dispatch pointing out that the difference between a fifty two 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.560 seat majority and a fifty four seat majority, which they 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.240 might end up having, could be huge for the success 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:48.920 of any super Magan nominees to Senate confirmed posts. Moderate 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.800 Republicans like Lisa Markowski and Susan Collins. Those are always 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.160 the moderates that have a tendency to try to rein 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.360 in what they see as their extremist friends would likely 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:04.280 blanch it, say a Robert F. Kennedy junior cabinet nomination, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.960 But if you got fifty four seats, you might have 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.120 enough Republicans and say, sure, rfk Junior can be in 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.000 the cabinet. I think that would be pretty crazy. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.680 But I find myself rooting for a fifty two seat majority. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:23.760 Yeah. Interesting there. The Senate needs to pick a new leader. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.680 Mitch McConnell been a very successful leader of the Republicans 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.200 in the Senate for a very long time. It is 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.840 you know, he retired. He's a gazillion years old. Top 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.480 two contenders for the job are Senator John Thune of 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:38.080 South Dakota Senator John Cornyn of Texas. They're both acolytes 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.760 of McConnell and in the same vein. They have a 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.000 secret vote though there in the Senate, so Trump can't 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.920 really have as much influence as he does in a 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.040 lot of the House votes for leadership. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.360 Right, and the Senate is very into being the Senate. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:58.480 They have great institutional pride and they remember unlike the House. Hey, 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.680 we're like the pre eminent part of the government, the legislature. 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.399 So yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah, so we'll have 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.919 a handsome So I'm rooting for him. 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:13.040 Armstrong and Getty. When news breaks, the Donkey braves on 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:17.879 the Armstrong and Getty Show. We have breaking news. That 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.679 is the breaking news. Donkeys Patta does not like what 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:23.119 we do to the donkey to get him to make 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.359 that noise, but just to keep that behind the curtain. 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.200 They can mind their own business. So when I first 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.360 saw the headline, we all, I think, know that the 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:38.479 Iranians had a plot to kill Trump and our government 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.520 announced that. Well, when I saw this headline just come 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.760 across the Washington Post, three men have been indicted, I thought, okay, 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.480 that's one of those deals where you know, they indicted 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.640 a couple of Russians. They'll we'll never get a hold 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.000 of them. But it's just kind of a gesture of no. 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.520 They actually have two of three men in custody. Oh wow, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.159 from the alleged Iranian plot to killed Trump while he 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.320 was campaign. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.720 Man James Colemy is still at large. The third person. 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.280 The third person and they believe maybe the mastermind I 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.680 just saw on Fox is still at large. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.919 Huh. Okay, now ABC is on it. Three people have 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:22.280 been charged in the plot tour in custody. It'd be 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.400 interesting to see what information comes out of this. And 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.920 I was on the side of people saying this, Why 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:34.240 in the hell weren't Biden and Kamala Harris out saying 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.639 loud and clear, hey, n you take out Trump. That 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:43.200 is an act of war, right, you cannot be assassinating 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.800 presidential candidates or really anybody but presidential candidates in the 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.399 United States of America. But they kept their mouths shut 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.560 about it, which was about the country. They're about power, 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:57.720 They're about party. That is that's a major deal. How 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.000 could will you tell me? How could have Iran actually 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.919 been trying to assassinate Donald Trump? They had to know 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:05.800 that would be an actor, or maybe it wouldn't be 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.760 in the Biden administration. I don't know. We don't want 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:08.360 to escalate. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.880 Well, as you've made clearer, at least as far as 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:18.640 Bob Woodward and his sources believe, Russia would not have 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.800 invaded Ukraine but for Trump leaving the White House and 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:29.119 Biden's incredible timidity in Afghanistan and virtually every other you know, 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:34.159 geopolitical hotspot. So Yeah, I think maybe the Mullah's and 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.560 the Republican guards. God, this guy is so timid, Wow, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.480 that we could do it. I mean they'd go crazy, 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:41.760 but we could get away with it. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:46.240 And you know why Iran hates Trump because they know 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.240 he is going to crack down on them and it's 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:49.440 going to be a lot harder for them to get 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.760 a bomb, right, And he. 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.000 Took out old man Sulimani as well. It was a 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.040 bit of a sore respot. 0:19:55.080 --> 0:20:00.000 Wow. They actually arrested a couple of people, Dick Cheney 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:01.399 in there in a car, battery and a pan of 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.280 water and get some information out of those people. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.000 Yeah, well what they find out could be interesting. Anyway, 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.639 we'll follow that story for you among others. Speaking of 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:18.879 the transition of power, it had somehow escaped me that 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.720 the United States two hundred and fiftieth birthday is coming 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.399 right up in the term of the next president. I 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:34.720 remember vividly as a lad the bi centennial in nineteen 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:39.520 seventy six, and what great fun and wonderful patriotism that was. 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.679 And the two hundred and fiftieth one is coming up 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.360 in twenty twenty six. For those who are not gifted mathematics, 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.800 and it will be, you know, barring the Good Lord 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.840 interceding or Trump resigning in jd vance, you know, taking 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.560 the throne will be during the Trump administration. And look, 0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:00.159 there are a plenty of Democrats, many many Democrats who 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.760 are our patriots and love the country as much as 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.639 I do. There are also a hell of a lot 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:09.280 of Democrats who don't. They're ashamed of America, and I, 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.800 for one, am glad We're going to have the birthday 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.720 party under people who love America and aren't the least 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:15.439 bit ashamed of it. 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:16.600 Donald J. 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.520 Came out and made a big announcement about the plans 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.000 for the big birthday party. Let's roll twenty five, Michael. 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.480 Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:32.120 biggest and most important milestone in our country's history, two 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.680 hundred and fifty years of American independence. 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.399 What a great country and we have to keep it 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:38.879 that way. 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:43.080 But that's why, as a nation, we should be preparing 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.000 for a most spectacular birthday party. 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:48.119 We want to make it the best of all time. 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:52.840 Here is my plan to give America's founding in seventeen 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.040 seventy six the incredible anniversary. 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.280 It truly deserves. 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.800 On day one, I will convene a White House task 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:00.960 for course called. 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:02.719 Salute to America two fifty. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:06.720 It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.720 governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.919 an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:19.960
