Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty arm Strong, and
Speaker 1: Jetty and He Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: In honor of Jimmy Carter's hundredth birthday, more than four
Speaker 2: thousand children around the country sent him hand drawn cards
Speaker 2: bearing messages like who are you? And my mom made
Speaker 2: me do this?
Speaker 3: That was a well crafted joke because the setup led
Speaker 3: everybody's mind to would these little kids and even know
Speaker 3: who Jimmy Carter is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is perfect? Who are you? And my mom
Speaker 1: made me do this?
Speaker 3: Oh that's funny? Well, yeah, and I thought this joke
Speaker 3: was a striking from Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2: President Biden made a surprise appearance at a White House
Speaker 2: press briefing on Friday, And it's not a great sign
Speaker 2: when you're at the White House and people are like, whoa,
Speaker 2: what's the president doing here?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is going to grow toward election day and
Speaker 3: certainly towards January twentieth.
Speaker 1: Of what the hell?
Speaker 4: So we just sounds awful and incoherent and is on
Speaker 4: the decline by December January. I think the president may
Speaker 4: be hospitalized.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just thought of this.
Speaker 3: So if Trump wins, you know, a pretty good move
Speaker 3: for kamalas she should be angling for this would be
Speaker 3: Biden stepped down. I am the first woman president. I
Speaker 3: am the first woman president. Get it, you know, I
Speaker 3: get it notched, it goes down in history. I'm the
Speaker 3: first female president of American history for the final two months,
Speaker 3: three months or whatever until Trump takes over.
Speaker 1: Because Biden shouldn't be president.
Speaker 4: I'd throw an asterisk up there next to her name
Speaker 4: of the Wikipedia, but I guess it's legit. It's like
Speaker 4: Cayu who served for three weeks while McKinley was recovering
Speaker 4: from a sprained ankle or something. Is there have been
Speaker 4: a couple of guys like that who've officially been president
Speaker 4: for a cup of mead?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she could have a good couple month run though. Sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: declare war on Australia or something. Who knows. We have
Speaker 1: some breaking news here.
Speaker 3: Hurricane Milton is now a category five after strengthening it
Speaker 3: at an exceptional pace as CNN, and is expected to
Speaker 3: hit Florida in less than two weeks, less than two
Speaker 3: weeks after Helene, but it's expected to hit Wednesday so
Speaker 3: you know, they've been My whole life had been terrible
Speaker 3: at predicting how strong hurricanes are gonna be and where
Speaker 3: they're gonna hit one going to hit. They're wrong so often,
Speaker 3: So who knows what's going to happen. But if this
Speaker 3: hits Florida and it's really powerful, with FEMA stretched as
Speaker 3: thin as it is, this could really explode. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's already a big political story on the right.
Speaker 4: Holy con and again with the caveat that frightening you
Speaker 4: about weather is a mainstay of modern media. According to
Speaker 4: the National Hurricane Center, Milton's mind boggling rapid intensification is
Speaker 4: nearly without precedent.
Speaker 3: It's a superstorm because a climate change and Donald Trump
Speaker 3: said climate change is a hoax.
Speaker 1: Is what you'll hear for a while.
Speaker 4: According to more than forty years of data from the
Speaker 4: National Hurricane Center, Milton's wind speeds have increased by ninety
Speaker 4: miles per hour in less than twenty four hours. The
Speaker 4: storm has nearly tripled the rapid intensification criteria. Bab bah
Speaker 4: Bah intensified faster than any other storm in the Gulf
Speaker 4: of Mexico. Only two hurricanes strengthened more than Milton in
Speaker 4: a twenty four hour period, two thousand and five's Wilma
Speaker 4: in two thousand and seven's Felix.
Speaker 3: Now Ron DeSantis, the incredibly competent governor of Florida has
Speaker 3: done a fantastic job with a couple of these storms
Speaker 3: in his tenure, so he'll be on top of it
Speaker 3: as much as anybody can be. But in terms of
Speaker 3: the federal response, this could you really ramp up what
Speaker 3: is already a huge political story, some of it true,
Speaker 3: some of it not true. But as we played earlier,
Speaker 3: Tom Cotton on Meat the Press yesterday explaining, how wait
Speaker 3: a second, that whole we don't have money for the hurricane,
Speaker 3: but we've got money for illegal immigration. We got money
Speaker 3: anytime you need to bail out college students. We got
Speaker 3: money for all kinds of different things. If you need it,
Speaker 3: you find it somewhere. But for this, you don't have money.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about.
Speaker 4: We'll be diving back into that very topic in a
Speaker 4: few minutes. Stay two and if you.
Speaker 1: Can wow you know, I was thinking about this.
Speaker 3: When I was reading about rond de Santis being so
Speaker 3: competent handling the hurricane. What you want out of an
Speaker 3: executive you see, the president of the United States is
Speaker 3: the leader of the executive branch. They're an executive, like
Speaker 3: the executive that runs your company, and you shouldn't care
Speaker 3: whether you want to have a beer with them, or
Speaker 3: whether they.
Speaker 1: Stand correctly or smile.
Speaker 3: The right way, or have a pleasing voice, or any
Speaker 3: of the other things that we choose our chief executive
Speaker 3: of the whole freaking country on. You don't care about
Speaker 3: that for your business. You just want them to be really,
Speaker 3: really damn smart and competent. And that's what Ron de
Speaker 3: Santis is. But he couldn't smile naturally for some reason,
Speaker 3: and he didn't know where to put his hands, and
Speaker 3: so he can't be president.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. He's an idiot. Get right of him.
Speaker 4: Ustream the minute Trump announced he was coming back. But yeah,
Speaker 4: you're right, you're right. Yes, it's it's beyond frustrating. It's
Speaker 4: it's practically it's borderline insane. I mean, it's like as
Speaker 4: somebody opting for a meal that looks really good even
Speaker 4: they know it's even though they know it's riddled with tomain,
Speaker 4: just go ahead and shout out on that instead of
Speaker 4: the more humble looking meal that will nourish their bodies.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's insane.
Speaker 3: It's similar to picking your mate based on how hot
Speaker 3: they are. That will that will, that will reveal itself
Speaker 3: fairly quickly, and I think we do that with our presidents.
Speaker 4: Also, uh yeah, certainly hotness can factor in sexual attraction.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if.
Speaker 4: You put all other concerns aside in favor of that,
Speaker 4: you are going to be unhappy.
Speaker 3: So I want to do this. Just briefly, I thought
Speaker 3: this was damn interesting. I read this last night when
Speaker 3: I was at a restaurant waiting for my giant Fudge
Speaker 3: Sunday to show up.
Speaker 1: I ordered a Fudge Sunday as a g a grown man.
Speaker 3: How's by myself. It's not like I was with my
Speaker 3: kids and we're doing something as a family. I was
Speaker 3: by myself in ordered a giant, not even the small one,
Speaker 3: a giant fudge Sunday.
Speaker 1: You were a child.
Speaker 4: I believe this is an expression of your desire to
Speaker 4: return to the simplicity of childhood.
Speaker 3: And it's funny. I wasn't high, which this story is
Speaker 3: about marijuana. I was reading this.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 3: I was reading about marijuana, not high, reading about marijuana
Speaker 3: while I wait for an.
Speaker 1: Ice cream Sunday.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I got a contact high from reading about it.
Speaker 3: Article in the New York Times. As America's marijuana use grows,
Speaker 3: so do the harms. The drug, legal in most of
Speaker 3: the country now, is widely seen as non addictive and
Speaker 3: safe for some users. These assumptions are dangerously wrong, and
Speaker 3: a couple of the points in this article that I
Speaker 3: thought were interesting.
Speaker 1: They focused on.
Speaker 3: Mid Coast main a pediatrician who sees teenagers so dependent
Speaker 3: on that they consume it practically all day, every day.
Speaker 3: A remarkably scary amount, said this doctor, and from Washington
Speaker 3: State to West Virginia, psychiatrists are treating a rising number
Speaker 3: of people who use the drug that have brought on delusions, paranoia,
Speaker 3: and other symptoms of psychosis. In the emergency departments of
Speaker 3: small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike, physicians
Speaker 3: encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug marijuana,
Speaker 3: a potentially devastating condition that was once rare but now common.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here come the inevitable emails.
Speaker 1: I've been smoking pot for years. I've never had a problem.
Speaker 1: All right, look, let me read this paragraph.
Speaker 4: Smoked cigarettes for sixty five years, and he didn't get
Speaker 4: lung cancer.
Speaker 1: That proves nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's different. Now read this paragraph. This is
Speaker 3: the really the main reason I want to bring you
Speaker 3: this story. A thirty three billion dollar industry has taken root,
Speaker 3: and I'm sure it's growing, turning out an ever expanding
Speaker 3: range of cannabis products so intoxicating.
Speaker 1: They bear little resemblance to.
Speaker 3: The marijuana available a generation ago, a generation, a generation ago.
Speaker 3: So we're not even talking about hippies from the sixties
Speaker 3: what they were smoking. We're talking about what you were
Speaker 3: smoking in the eighties. Yeah, bears little resemblance. So if
Speaker 3: you think you have in your mind what pot is
Speaker 3: based on your smoking it in the early nineties in college,
Speaker 3: you don't. That's whatever. That to me, that was the
Speaker 3: key to the article. I wish that had been the headline.
Speaker 3: That's what everybody should realize. They should give it a
Speaker 3: different name. We're talking about something different than what you
Speaker 3: were doing, and that would be helpful for pot, Yes,
Speaker 3: that would be helpful for talking about, you know, what
Speaker 3: the youth are doing today. Many users believe, for instance,
Speaker 3: they couldnt become addicted to cannabis, but millions do.
Speaker 1: Sains the new York Times.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's one psychological addiction that may be a
Speaker 4: physical addiction, and the other thing is And I realized
Speaker 4: this later life than I should have, but I tell
Speaker 4: everybody who wants to talk about it. It finally dawned
Speaker 4: on me as a guy who was I mean, I
Speaker 4: was never like out of control or anything like that,
Speaker 4: but I've definitely enjoyed walking on the wild side at
Speaker 4: various points in my youth. The idea that I will
Speaker 4: mess with my brain chemistry, then it will go back
Speaker 4: to normal, and then I'm gonna mess with my brain
Speaker 4: chemistry again, and it'll go back to normal, and over
Speaker 4: and over and over again. Eventually, your brain chemistry does
Speaker 4: not go back to normal. You've changed it forever. Sometimes
Speaker 4: you damaged it terribly, sometimes somewhat. The idea that you
Speaker 4: can just mess with your brain without end and it'll
Speaker 4: be fine is a strange notion.
Speaker 1: Well, and again, I'll say it for the fifth time.
Speaker 3: The pot, the marijuana products that your high schooler's take
Speaker 3: is using now bears little resemblance to what you were doing.
Speaker 1: So throw all that out the window. This is a
Speaker 1: new thing.
Speaker 3: That is that is troubling, and and I and I hope,
Speaker 3: I hope society catches up to talking about it in
Speaker 3: a different way or whatever instead of it just being
Speaker 3: kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Haha. Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're right, and that is disturbing, but it's
Speaker 4: you know, if you if dope is super intense, you
Speaker 4: don't smoke as much of it.
Speaker 3: Well, these kids that they were you're using as example
Speaker 3: in the newspaper apparently were all day every day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get what you're saying. You just you don't
Speaker 4: take as many hits of it because you don't need to.
Speaker 4: You're already wasted. So there's kind of a counterbalancing thing.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there were not emergency rooms full of psychosis
Speaker 4: cases back when it was illegal. Why part of its
Speaker 4: societal but part of it's legal too. It's just the
Speaker 4: whole decriminalizing drugs thing has been a really interesting experiment
Speaker 4: to watch play out, whether it's in Oregon, which is
Speaker 4: reeling from thousands and thousands of overdose deaths and a tragedy,
Speaker 4: a human tragedy, to the problem with psychosis from too
Speaker 4: much marijuana smoking. I think we've all learned something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a devastating condition that was once rare but now common,
Speaker 3: say physicians all across the country. That ain't good an
Speaker 3: Oregon hippiest place you can come up with, they tried
Speaker 3: it and thought it is ain't working, and change the
Speaker 3: laws back again. You think there's any chance we do
Speaker 3: anything around marijuana or have like limitations on its, how
Speaker 3: powerful can be or something like that.
Speaker 4: Those tens of billions of dollars you're talking about the
Speaker 4: industry is worth now and growing.
Speaker 1: Are going to be arguing against that excellent point. We
Speaker 1: got a lot more in the way. Stay here. Played
Speaker 1: this audio earlier.
Speaker 4: It's a mob ransacking a seven to eleven in beautiful Anaheim, California.
Speaker 4: Kelly Unicorney have beset with lawlessness more or less from
Speaker 4: one end to the other, although in the Red counties
Speaker 4: it's not nearly as bad.
Speaker 1: That's highly troubling.
Speaker 3: And as executive producer Hanson just said, in my ear
Speaker 3: these mobs are almost always kids on se bikes, which
Speaker 3: my son has, when they're expensive bicycles, and so what
Speaker 3: are you doing riding around one thousand dollars bikes then
Speaker 3: smashing the guy in the convenience store and robin and
Speaker 3: so it's probably not out of you know what the
Speaker 3: left would claim they're hungry, they need baby medicine.
Speaker 1: They're just vandals.
Speaker 4: Please a bunch of seventeen year olds. These se bikes,
Speaker 4: I'm not hip to that. Are they electric type bikes.
Speaker 3: Or just a bike, like a particular kind of bike,
Speaker 3: and like they'refore tricks and stuff. Like my son Wheeli's
Speaker 3: everywhere he goes. He does not ride with what both
Speaker 3: ways on the ground ever, just as back and go
Speaker 3: around corners and stuff like that. Some but they've become
Speaker 3: kind of a cultural thing. Like some old guy yelled
Speaker 3: at him at the other day, he said, get your
Speaker 3: effing wheel down, dropped an F bomb on him. So
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's like the people have a
Speaker 3: view that the people in the se bikes are.
Speaker 1: Thugs or what that is.
Speaker 3: I kind of got mobbed by a group of se
Speaker 3: bikes one time and it scared the crap out of me.
Speaker 1: They're riding straight at me doing wheelies.
Speaker 3: And I thought, oh my god, I'm gonna hit him,
Speaker 3: and then they turn at the last second.
Speaker 1: That's a trick. It's got a name. I forget what
Speaker 1: it's called.
Speaker 3: Scaring old guys, Scaring old people, Yeah, scaring.
Speaker 1: People who don't want to run over you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to hang on a second. I'm going
Speaker 4: to edit my list of things to worry about. I've
Speaker 4: got to insert bicyclists having both tires down right behind
Speaker 4: people who have too many white flowers in their landscaping
Speaker 4: and not enough color.
Speaker 3: I think the I think maybe I could be wrong.
Speaker 3: I could have just been a crazy old guy. But
Speaker 3: the whole se bike craze thing has gotten attached to
Speaker 3: like this mob mentality violence that we were just playing
Speaker 3: for you. Yeah, attacking convenience store. They ride those bikes.
Speaker 3: So speaking of that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Peter Helmsley or Hemsley is a hell of a chef.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's also a good writer.
Speaker 4: He is closing down a restaurant in San Francisco and
Speaker 4: the crime ridden downtown just two years after opening it.
Speaker 4: This restaurant won like all of the global honors in
Speaker 4: its first year of operation. It was getting Michelin stars
Speaker 4: and stuff. I haven't said it yet, apa tic or
Speaker 4: a photic. I'm not sure how you pronounced it exactly,
Speaker 4: but it was mostly fish seafood focused menu. But I
Speaker 4: mean just amazing acclaim and he's shutting it down because
Speaker 4: of the state of the city. He cites being and
Speaker 4: I quote, at the ugly butt end of a desolate
Speaker 4: convention center suckhole in post pany apocalypse as being a
Speaker 4: key factor in the restaurants demise. Again, great chef, better writer,
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to say that again. At the ugly
Speaker 4: butt end of a desolated convention center suck hole in
Speaker 4: the post pany apocalypse.
Speaker 1: What's the panny is in pandemic?
Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, okay, that's where I was confused. Butt end
Speaker 3: of good freeze.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let's see.
Speaker 4: And he talked about some of the accomplishments even in
Speaker 4: the right part of town. These these would be huge
Speaker 4: accomplishments in that timeframe for any operation. But the fact
Speaker 4: that we did this at the ugly butt end of
Speaker 4: a desolation convenor center suck hole in the convention post
Speaker 4: panty apocalypse is nothing short of a small miracle. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 4: And then they get into in the Daily Mail. It
Speaker 4: happens to be the list of closures in downtown San Francisco,
Speaker 4: including the gigantic Macy's that's been a been a fixture
Speaker 4: in Union Square since nineteen forty seven. They just revealed
Speaker 4: sixteen percent of their stock was stolen.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, almost.
Speaker 4: Twenty percent of everything in the store was closing. So
Speaker 4: they're going to be shutting their doors. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. What does the states the storm zone need,
Speaker 1: mister president? What are the states and the storm zone?
Speaker 2: What do they need?
Speaker 1: What you saw today going the storm zone?
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I'm learning what storm you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's.
Speaker 6: Everything they need.
Speaker 1: They're very happy about the board.
Speaker 3: It's a national security issue, as you've pointed out many times.
Speaker 3: That's why the cover up is going on. It's kind
Speaker 3: of a weird thing in a democracy of how to
Speaker 3: handle this. But the current president is a brain is shot,
Speaker 3: like really shot, and oh how do you handle that
Speaker 3: without putting the country at risk? And it's going to
Speaker 3: be interesting to read the book someday. I'll tell you
Speaker 3: that what storm. I didn't know what storm you're talking about.
Speaker 3: You just went and flew in a helicopter to look
Speaker 3: at the storm damage that storm.
Speaker 4: Well, and with all the death and destruction, so many
Speaker 4: people still waiting to be rescued from Helene, never mind
Speaker 4: the incoming what's the Milton to say? Everybody's happy across
Speaker 4: the board. Yeah, and it's so astonishingly inappropriate. It's a
Speaker 4: measure of how bad his brain.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, from a gifted super you know, good at
Speaker 3: the whole empathy thing politician. That's not the way he
Speaker 3: would have handled it ten years ago.
Speaker 4: So one of the controversies emerging from the FEMA response
Speaker 4: to the last hurricane is the slowness of their response.
Speaker 4: Some of it might be fair criticism, some of it not.
Speaker 4: A disaster response always becomes politicized, but there is absolutely
Speaker 4: a legitimate question about FEMA and its resources. You may
Speaker 4: remember the world's most miserable waste of skin, Olihandra New
Speaker 4: Yorkis saying recently that FEMA was out of money. They
Speaker 4: couldn't take another hurricane, and several people have pointed out, well,
Speaker 4: you've had tens of million, hundreds of millions of dollars
Speaker 4: going to illegal immigrants now for a couple of years,
Speaker 4: and you're out of money. Those stories are closely related,
Speaker 4: but the reporting on that varies depending on who you ask.
Speaker 4: Let's go with thirty five here, Michael. This is from
Speaker 4: NBC Nightly News.
Speaker 7: Like many disaster responses, the recovery from Helene is proving
Speaker 7: to be complicated. And at times slow. Nine days after
Speaker 7: the storm, many residents here they may not have running
Speaker 7: water for weeks. Crews are still doing search and rescue missions,
Speaker 7: and the remote mountainous communities are still struggling with connectivity.
Speaker 1: In the last two.
Speaker 7: Years, FEMA has distributed more than one billion dollars in
Speaker 7: taxpayer money to shelter migrants in cities across the US,
Speaker 7: but the White House and FEMA say that's from a
Speaker 7: separate government program, not for disaster relief, and there's no
Speaker 7: evidence funds have been diverted.
Speaker 4: Okay, so money being fungible everything, honey, that's yeah. I
Speaker 4: spend a million dollars on motorcycles, but I'm out.
Speaker 1: Of golf money. I need golf money, right, Come on.
Speaker 4: So here is KJP the delightful Little White House paid liar.
Speaker 4: The first eight seconds or so of this are from
Speaker 4: last week, and then the next section is from October
Speaker 4: of twenty two.
Speaker 1: Note to the contrast in what she says.
Speaker 8: It's just categorically before No, Biden did not take FEMA
Speaker 8: relief money to use to use on migrants. So FEMA
Speaker 8: regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site
Speaker 8: to coordinate to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and
Speaker 8: other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency
Speaker 8: Food and Shelter Program to eligible local governments and not
Speaker 8: non for profit organizations upon requests to support humanitarian relief
Speaker 8: for migrants.
Speaker 4: Okay, so they've spent a billion dollars supporting quote unquote migrants,
Speaker 4: and it comes to rescuing Americans, they say, we're out
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 1: That was a different fund.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things that I have trouble
Speaker 3: grasping because it seems so obvious to me that it
Speaker 3: doesn't even require explanation, but apparently it does. I mean,
Speaker 3: how does everybody not understand fungible the whole concept, but
Speaker 3: it comes up all the time in politics. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: Aram's not going to use that money for nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: We gave it to him for food. What. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to.
Speaker 4: Explain that sort of thing and not be too hip
Speaker 4: for the room, because not everybody that's as much time.
Speaker 3: You're stupid. If you don't understand it, you're just bone stupid.
Speaker 3: Oh if you don't get it, you're stick. How can
Speaker 3: you not understand that if you spend your money on
Speaker 3: a fancy vacation and don't have money for rent. You
Speaker 3: could have used the vacation money for your rent.
Speaker 1: How do you not get that? I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: I'm willing to call people bone stupid, but that argument
Speaker 4: is pretty strong. Speaking of strong arguers, none other than
Speaker 4: Tom Cotton, let's jump down, turn around, and pick a
Speaker 4: bail of Tom Cotton arguing with d NC spokeswoman Kristin
Speaker 4: Welker on Meet the Press. It's clip number eighty one,
Speaker 4: Michael hit It.
Speaker 9: My broader question to you, I think is about this misinformation.
Speaker 5: Do you think this is a time to put falsehoods aside?
Speaker 5: Like the idea that FEMA funds are being redirected to migrants,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 1: Just not true.
Speaker 5: It is true that FEMA and the Department of Homeland
Speaker 5: Security have been spending billions of dollars on migrants. I
Speaker 5: understand some people say they're separate fines, but we just
Speaker 5: passed a short term spending bill. It's very common for
Speaker 5: the administration to come and ask for permission to move
Speaker 5: money between fines, especially to prepare for emergencies. And second,
Speaker 5: I would note that this administration seems to have no
Speaker 5: problem finding money when they want to spend it on
Speaker 5: their priorities. When they need hundreds of billions of dollars
Speaker 5: to pay off student loans for graduate students and gender
Speaker 5: studies programs, they somehow find it. When it's trying to
Speaker 5: get helicopters to deliver food and water and cellular service
Speaker 5: and life saving medicine into these mountain valleys, they somehow
Speaker 5: can't seem to find the money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's really two different issues. There's the fungibility
Speaker 3: issue of well, you spend a ton of money from
Speaker 3: your department on illegals, so if you're out of money,
Speaker 3: But then also the whenever you're out of money actually
Speaker 3: legitimately out of money or don't have money, you find
Speaker 3: it somewhere, even if it's illegal, but not in this case.
Speaker 4: I think this is a governmental example of what we've
Speaker 4: talked about in the context of living your personal life.
Speaker 4: What you do, how you spend your time, those are
Speaker 4: your priorities. You work seventy five hours a week, but
Speaker 4: you say my priority is my kid and your kids
Speaker 4: like I haven't seen in a week, your priority is work. Well,
Speaker 4: the administration has made clear what its priority is.
Speaker 1: In that whole.
Speaker 4: Well, that's from a different fund, Well, you spent a
Speaker 4: billion dollars on that, and now you're saying we don't
Speaker 4: have money for this and we can't get enough helicopters there.
Speaker 1: Sorry, you have told us what your priorities are. Right.
Speaker 3: And Hurricane Milton, which is the least threatening name I
Speaker 3: can possibly imagine, How could Milton hurt me? Hurricane Milton
Speaker 3: that's bearing down on Florida is now a Category five.
Speaker 3: Who knows what it'll be when it finally hits land Wednesday,
Speaker 3: but man, if it does much damage and FEMA gets
Speaker 3: stretched even thinner, and there are you know, people standing
Speaker 3: on roofs or any of those images happening, this is
Speaker 3: a growing political issue for a presidential campaign.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and most days I've given up on any hope
Speaker 4: for the government being rained in and.
Speaker 1: It's made me happy here.
Speaker 4: But today is one of those those awful days where
Speaker 4: I feel like maybe we the people can do some good.
Speaker 4: And I will point out again, and I say this
Speaker 4: especially to my more progressive friends, but everybody, really, if
Speaker 4: you join with us in being a fiscal conservative, a
Speaker 4: real budget hawk, and just squeeze out the waste, the fraud,
Speaker 4: the abuse, the redundancy, the unnecessary departments, the giant, bloated
Speaker 4: bureaucracy join with us and doing that, we will have
Speaker 4: scads of money to accomplish what you want to accomplish.
Speaker 4: We will have all sorts of money for mental health care,
Speaker 4: for disaster relief.
Speaker 1: For the downtrodden, for.
Speaker 4: Tutors, for our underprivileged kids in cities, you name it.
Speaker 4: We'll have more money than we can spend. Don't let
Speaker 4: the guver be the most powerful lobbyist of the government anymore.
Speaker 1: And there's a way out of this. Scads is a
Speaker 1: good word. I haven't used scads much lately.
Speaker 3: It felt good, So right before we go to break,
Speaker 3: I want to mention this because I thought it was interesting.
Speaker 3: Political had quite a story over the weekend, with nearly
Speaker 3: two dozen Democrats describing Kamala Harris as running a do
Speaker 3: no harm risk averse race in which she's not really campaigning,
Speaker 3: complaining to political behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Now, the whole do.
Speaker 3: No harm risk averse is clearly a strategy, and it
Speaker 3: might work for she might get elected. But the not
Speaker 3: working very hard part that's a little hard to explain.
Speaker 3: Political writing of the remaining days blah blah blah, oh,
Speaker 3: get back to here. She has spent more than half
Speaker 3: of the day since the convention in Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: Not doing anything, and a lot of people in the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party can't understand why Democratic operatives, including some in
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's own staffers, tell Political they're growing increasingly concerned
Speaker 3: about our relatively light campaign schedule, which has her holding
Speaker 3: fewer events than Donald Trump and avoiding unscripted interactions. But
Speaker 3: just the fact that she's not doing much at all
Speaker 3: in a tied race. People are bitching to political behind
Speaker 3: her back about it.
Speaker 1: And I get that.
Speaker 4: I just think, and this is obvious, but in twenty twenty,
Speaker 4: they had a weak candidate who they hid in the
Speaker 4: basement and they won barely.
Speaker 1: They have a weak candidate, they're hiding her in the basement.
Speaker 1: But how do you handle the candidate on that?
Speaker 3: Does she say, okay, so where we're going today and
Speaker 3: you say, we've decided to take the day off, give
Speaker 3: you a little rest.
Speaker 1: But shouldn't I be out campaigning?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, we think it's best because you.
Speaker 3: Can't say to her, yeah, we're keeping your events light
Speaker 3: because you're kind of a dunderpat and every time you
Speaker 3: talk it does this more.
Speaker 1: M than yeah. Well, and she's actually.
Speaker 4: Decent enough on this campaign stage reading her stump speech.
Speaker 3: Well, it should be great on Kimmel tomorrow night or
Speaker 3: whenever she's on. I'm sure, Yeah, she'll be good on
Speaker 3: our stern. She'll be good on a view tomorrow. She's
Speaker 3: doing a bunch of that sort of stuff this week. Well,
Speaker 3: and it's the luxury of being the Democrat. If she's
Speaker 3: not good, you won't hear about it except on conservative media.
Speaker 3: To the sixty Minutes Interview tonight with Kamala Harris. I
Speaker 3: love sixty Minutes. I've been watching it since I was
Speaker 3: a little kid. I've hardly ever missed an episode in
Speaker 3: like forty years. But I don't have much confidence that
Speaker 3: if she did one of her you know roundabout weird
Speaker 3: doesn't say anything circular, non nail silence, right, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't believe they'd are it, don't. I don't break.
Speaker 4: Now we can do a little preview and see what
Speaker 4: we think of the clips they've released so far.
Speaker 1: Cool, that's on the way.
Speaker 6: If the entire sixty minutes Interview with Kamala Harris tonight
Speaker 6: has no negative moments for Kamala Harris, then you know,
Speaker 6: it was.
Speaker 3: A a hack effort at journalism, because there's no way
Speaker 3: she could sit for a long interview and not have
Speaker 3: a negative moment.
Speaker 4: Let's see how we liked the clips they've released thus far.
Speaker 1: Start with sixty seven, Michael.
Speaker 9: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyah who is not listening.
Speaker 10: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
Speaker 10: in a number of movements in that region by Israel
Speaker 10: that were very much prompted by or a result of
Speaker 10: many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen
Speaker 10: in the region.
Speaker 3: I don't know what she said there. I don't know
Speaker 3: what she said. She is it was really hard. That
Speaker 3: was also not the clip on my list. I mean
Speaker 3: it was fine. Uh, what's the next clip you got?
Speaker 1: Michael?
Speaker 9: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister
Speaker 9: of net and Yahoo?
Speaker 10: I think, with all due respect, the better question is
Speaker 10: do we have an important alliance between the American people
Speaker 10: and the Israeli people?
Speaker 1: And the answer to.
Speaker 10: That question is yes.
Speaker 4: That was actually a pretty good answer that clearly this
Speaker 4: one was sad.
Speaker 1: That one was clearly one.
Speaker 3: She was ready to go on how to answer that,
Speaker 3: and she brought that she's good at remembering those things.
Speaker 3: The other one she was on her own, and I
Speaker 3: don't know what.
Speaker 1: She said, Michael, do you have sixty six handy?
Speaker 9: We supply Israel with billions of dollars in military aid,
Speaker 9: and yet Prime Minister of net and Yahoo seems to
Speaker 9: be charting his own course. The Biden Harris administration has
Speaker 9: pressed him to agree to cease fire, He's resisted. You
Speaker 9: urged him not to go into Lebanon.
Speaker 1: He went in. Anyway, he has.
Speaker 9: Promised to make Iran pay for the missile attack, and
Speaker 9: that has the potential of expanding the war.
Speaker 1: Does the US.
Speaker 9: Have no sway over Prime Minister net and Yahoo.
Speaker 10: The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to
Speaker 10: defend itself against two hundred ballistic missiles that were just
Speaker 10: meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel.
Speaker 10: And when we think about the threat that Hamas Hezbela
Speaker 10: presents Iran, I think that it is without any question,
Speaker 10: are imperative to do what we can to allow Israel
Speaker 10: to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now, the
Speaker 10: work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel
Speaker 10: is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which
Speaker 10: include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this
Speaker 10: war to end, the need for a deal to be
Speaker 10: done which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire.
Speaker 10: And we're not going to stop in terms of putting
Speaker 10: that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders.
Speaker 4: Okay, And then then he presses her and she gets
Speaker 4: into that whole rambling nonsense. The last part of that
Speaker 4: was actually pretty decent. The first two thirds, though, really
Speaker 4: struck me as a reasonably bright eighth grader who'd read
Speaker 4: the first chapter of a book and was giving an
Speaker 4: oral report on the entire book.
Speaker 3: Right because he had just asked, or he just pointed
Speaker 3: out that you've said, don't do this, don't do that,
Speaker 3: don't do this, don't do that, and they went ahead
Speaker 3: and did all of them. So do we have no
Speaker 3: ability to influenced them? And then she went into a
Speaker 3: long why they have a right to do what they want? Well, okay,
Speaker 3: but then why do you keep telling them not to
Speaker 3: do things?
Speaker 4: It would be so much easier if she could just say, look, Bill,
Speaker 4: we're pretending to pressure them because it's important to us
Speaker 4: in our electoral prospects, because people have no realistic grasp
Speaker 4: with the way the world works. But beyond the scenes
Speaker 4: worth telling, I'm gonna go ahead and whoop some ass.
Speaker 3: Which is the only thing that really makes sense is
Speaker 3: that all our statements of don't do this, don't do
Speaker 3: that are for Muslims in Michigan.
Speaker 1: They're not for Benjamin.
Speaker 6: Then.
Speaker 10: Now, Jack and Joe just had a very robust and
Speaker 10: productive conversation this morning, working together to discuss very important
Speaker 10: issues together in this moment in time, and now together
Speaker 10: in this moment they will have final thoughts with Armstrong
Speaker 10: and Getty. This is the most final thoughts of our lifetime,
Speaker 10: and it is time to share the final thoughts they

Speaker 6: It's been years since I've had an ice cream Sunday,
Speaker 6: but Jack said that now I want one, but no
Speaker 6: whip cream because I don't like whip cream.
Speaker 3: Now I don't either, whip cream disgusting? What's wrong with
Speaker 3: whipped creams? That delightful accompaniment?
Speaker 1: Gross? Jack?

Speaker 4: October seventh of last year, the new Israeli peace plan
Speaker 4: is to defeat their enemies, go get them.
Speaker 1: Wow, did you have to do that?
Speaker 3: I talk about Taylor Swift and you do the one
Speaker 3: year anniversary of Israel and make me look like a Puttz?
Speaker 1: Did you have to do that? Armstrong and Getty? I
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Wrap pick up another grueling for our work day.
