Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty. I'm strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty, and he armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: And by the way I looked at her this morning,
Speaker 2: she had a little news conference lasted for like two minutes.
Speaker 1: She's exhausted. You know, she's exhausted.
Speaker 2: She's a train wreck who is totally unqualified to be
Speaker 2: the president of the United States of America. There are
Speaker 2: some people who thrive under pressure, and there are some
Speaker 2: people who crack under pressure.
Speaker 1: She's a cracker. And the more.
Speaker 2: Pressure Kamala, the more pressure Kamala has, the more you
Speaker 2: see it happening.
Speaker 1: No, she's cracking now. So you got to play nothing
Speaker 1: but cracker bumper music for the rest of tower. Michael, So,
Speaker 1: this is a delicate topic since we're talking about a woman, obviously,
Speaker 1: but Trump talking about how she looks exhausted, as she
Speaker 1: looks terrible. Somebody on our staff who watched her appearance
Speaker 1: yesterday said she looked really rough yesterday. And I would
Speaker 1: just like to say, as someone who is exactly the
Speaker 1: same age as her, it happens. There are days where
Speaker 1: you look in the mirror and you think looking pretty good.
Speaker 1: And then some days you look at the mirror and think,
Speaker 1: good lord, what happens a gesture day? I don't know
Speaker 1: why that is. I've eaten in the night. I don't
Speaker 1: recall it. It's just like some days I feel ten
Speaker 1: years younger and some days I feel ten years older.
Speaker 1: It's like I even say to people, I'm having an
Speaker 1: old day. Sorry, it's not a good extreme one of
Speaker 1: my old days where I feel ten years older most
Speaker 1: of time out And I think she was having one
Speaker 1: of her old looking days yesterday, which happens when you're
Speaker 1: this age. Yeah, well, especially if you're kind of hungover.
Speaker 1: Because she well known get the old shardonnay in excess
Speaker 1: probably shows going with this show's going with that. She's
Speaker 1: a drunk angle. Yes, we need a woman involved. Katie
Speaker 1: as a woman, as a woman, can confirm she looked
Speaker 1: like hell really. Yeah, as a person her age, I
Speaker 1: can confirm some days are rougher than others. So I
Speaker 1: don't know a play you know this is? This is
Speaker 1: for the beloved female listeners of the Armstrong and Getty show,
Speaker 1: where we know what a woman is? Uh? Play that?
Speaker 1: Uh that? Kamala drunkenly shouting again Michael about if that
Speaker 1: ain't a gal three glasses of shardenay in, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, that's that's like, my friends, I recognize that, Cadence,
Speaker 1: this is your wheelhouse, and we're going to like an
Speaker 1: expert commentator on someone who knows what a woman who's
Speaker 1: had a few glasses of wine sounds like, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a native guide to that culture.
Speaker 2: What fucking about?
Speaker 1: Here's here's where we are as a country. Maybe we
Speaker 1: deserve to die as a democracy. So I got ABC
Speaker 1: on and CBS and CNN and Fox on at least
Speaker 1: three of them, not Fox at the same time. J
Speaker 1: Loo's face. She was at the rally, Jennifer Lopez dressed up. Man,
Speaker 1: when she is, she does not look tired. She's fifty
Speaker 1: two or O my god, she gets dulled up. Man,
Speaker 1: that's an attractive woman. But anyway, Jaen and a long
Speaker 1: time consort of the rate DP Diddy, as I recall,
Speaker 1: weren't they married, were dating certainly together. I think they're
Speaker 1: yeah engaged one of her six engagements. Uh, j Lo
Speaker 1: on three of my televisions at the same time. And
Speaker 1: no democracy deserves to survive. That can be evolved at
Speaker 1: that level with a celebrity pushing one candidate and the
Speaker 1: news reacting to it like it freaking matters. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: You give me thirty seconds, I can list for you
Speaker 1: my ten favorite musicians of all time. I'd be leaving
Speaker 1: out a lot, but uh, and then if you told
Speaker 1: me all ten of those have endorsed Kamala Harris, my
Speaker 1: reaction be oh m, I don't care. I don't even
Speaker 1: think you'd get a reaction out of me. Why did
Speaker 1: you tell me that might be my reaction? I don't care.
Speaker 1: What sort of silly person could possibly give even half
Speaker 1: a crap? I don't know. He's a brilliant guitar player.
Speaker 1: He really bends his noteswell, and he likes that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's thanks for telling me. It's not anti Jhillo or
Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan or any of these people. Really, It's just like,
Speaker 1: how could you possibly be influenced by somebody like that
Speaker 1: for your vote? It just that makes no sense. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've got a nice dining room table. You talk about
Speaker 1: a useless room, the formal dining room. Yeah, anyway, what
Speaker 1: a useless square footage? They should subtract that from the
Speaker 1: square footage of the house to give you the LB
Speaker 1: your houses. That's why there was rooms for a pool
Speaker 1: table and your cues in there. There'd be a pool
Speaker 1: table in there anyway. Don't tell my wife I said that.
Speaker 1: But so we got a nice dinning room table. If
Speaker 1: the guy who like carved that table came in said,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm for Kamala Harris, I'd be like, why
Speaker 1: are you telling me you're a nice You're a skilled carpenter,
Speaker 1: and I congratulate you. Why would I give a boy
Speaker 1: almost said an unfortunate word? Folks, what do you think
Speaker 1: about politicians? I just I honestly, I guess you admire
Speaker 1: those people on some level. And if you're young and impressionable.
Speaker 1: It's like actors, we imbue them. We kind of associate
Speaker 1: them with the qualities of the characters they've played. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's that. Also, I remember from being young, you get
Speaker 1: the sense that, well, this is the cool party and
Speaker 1: that's the uncool party. So because all the cool people
Speaker 1: are on this side, and I want to be at
Speaker 1: the cool people, just like in high school. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: George Washington would slap you with the broadside of his sword. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Certainly there's an opinion that one half of the electorate
Speaker 1: is garba what the old man say the other day, Michael.
Speaker 1: The only garbage I see flowed down there is his
Speaker 1: supporters and the White House in mainstream media trying desperately
Speaker 1: to spin that as some sort of uh, missing apostrophe
Speaker 1: or misspeaking or something. It occurred to me as we're
Speaker 1: getting ready for the show today, one thing I'd forgotten
Speaker 1: about is the tendency of older men and women to
Speaker 1: completely lose their filter, to say things that may be
Speaker 1: true and they may think, but you would never say
Speaker 1: in polite society. I think many of us have observed that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I've experienced that in my real life, including with good
Speaker 1: and decent people who mean no harm. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to that era of my own life. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: write it prematurely. I do it for a living, anyway,
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's what happened with Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: He said what he was thinking because he's his filter
Speaker 1: is gone with some of his other neurological function. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be in Scranton, Pennsylvania this weekend
Speaker 1: campaigning for Harris. I heard a one strategist say he's
Speaker 1: likely to be put in American Samoa until Tuesday nights
Speaker 1: campaigning by the Harris campaign. Yeah, so, I want to
Speaker 1: share with you just a bit of what the brilliant
Speaker 1: Kimstrecell wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion page. She
Speaker 1: is so good. Should Republicans lose this election, it will
Speaker 1: be in some part due to the contempt Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has shown his opponent. Should Democrats lose this election, it
Speaker 1: will be in large part due to the contempt they
Speaker 1: routinely show tens of millions of voters. The media is
Speaker 1: doing its best to play down Joe Biden's casual insult
Speaker 1: of half of America's garbage. He was misunderstood it was
Speaker 1: a gaff. Let's meditate on Donald Trump's garbage trunks truck
Speaker 1: stunt instead. Why on earth would anyone assume mister Biden
Speaker 1: would again show derision for voters he's labeled as semi fascists,
Speaker 1: MAGA extremist, and proponents of Jim Crow two point zero.
Speaker 1: Of course, it wasn't a gaff. It's the latest injection
Speaker 1: of time sick democratic arrogance, and it explains the party's
Speaker 1: electoral struggles. It's of a piece with the open dismissal
Speaker 1: by the media and elites of critics as idiots, yokels,
Speaker 1: and deplorable yocals. The men accused of toxic masculinity, the
Speaker 1: women written off as handmaids. The religious are fanatics, the
Speaker 1: millions the left scorn with a long list of ist
Speaker 1: and fobe words. If you don't bout a progressive dogma,
Speaker 1: you're a fascist, sexist, racist, nationalist, insurrectionists, domestic terrorist, extremist,
Speaker 1: far rightist and homophobe, and nazi who is bitter and
Speaker 1: cleaning the guns and religions. These labels are now even
Speaker 1: being employed as an election strategy, pejoratives to be ascribed
Speaker 1: to people based on their vote. Michelle Obama lectures the
Speaker 1: men in our lives that only vote for that only
Speaker 1: a vote for Kamala Harris will prove that they take
Speaker 1: women's health seriously. Don't be misogynistic. Barack Obama explains to
Speaker 1: black men that a failure to vote for commaed as
Speaker 1: evidence Kamala is evidence that you just aren't feeling the
Speaker 1: idea of having a woman as president. Don't be a sexist.
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban reminds us Donald Trump is never in a
Speaker 1: company of strong intelligent women, don't be a weak, dumb
Speaker 1: GOP voting broad then she gets into the awful Julia
Speaker 1: Roberts women terrified of their idiot maga husbands or a
Speaker 1: progressive activist. Jeff Piper tweeted this to white women this month.
Speaker 1: I don't care what kind of sign your husband has
Speaker 1: put in the yard or what your pastor preaches on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You can vote your conscience. You can vote for your
Speaker 1: children and grandchildren. No one will know. Thanks for the stereotypes, ladies.
Speaker 1: No doubt millions of US females, as soon as we've
Speaker 1: unchained ourselves from the sink and reread Ephesians five twenty two,
Speaker 1: we'll go mindlessly vote for more inflation and border chaos
Speaker 1: and debt. After all, we wouldn't want to check the
Speaker 1: boxes spineless, stupid, and baby hating. But that's the joke.
Speaker 1: The contempt isn't working. It's alienating large segments of the country,
Speaker 1: including once key sections of Democratic coalition. And you know
Speaker 1: who those are. GOP blue collar voters, black folks, Hispanic folks,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Boy, I don't know if it's I don't
Speaker 1: know why this has happened to me now age or
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I've been a parent for quite
Speaker 1: a while, but I've never voted on the abortion issue.
Speaker 1: They're not with that in mind, really, But man, when
Speaker 1: I see the focused groupie woman on the street talking
Speaker 1: about it's my body, since keep your hands off my body,
Speaker 1: I find that just freaking maddening. If you want to
Speaker 1: make the argument for why it should be okay to
Speaker 1: abort a baby in the first trimester, I'm fine with
Speaker 1: you making that argument. A majority of Americans think that
Speaker 1: should be legal. I'm fine. I underget all that, but
Speaker 1: please lay off the whole my body. There's another body
Speaker 1: involved at some point. We all don't know where to
Speaker 1: draw the line. But to act as if there's not
Speaker 1: even a question, and if you have that opinion, you're
Speaker 1: a monster, is just it's again, incredibly insulting. It is.
Speaker 1: It's insulting. That's why it pisses me off so much.
Speaker 1: You act like I don't know the spin you're making.
Speaker 1: It infuriates me, you know. Final note, this is our
Speaker 1: freedom loving quote of the day, last hour from Richard Nixon,
Speaker 1: of all people. But it's absolutely brilliant politics. People will
Speaker 1: vote for you, even if they don't like you, they
Speaker 1: will never vote for you if you think if they
Speaker 1: think you don't like them, I'm sorry, I screwed up
Speaker 1: the genius of the great Richard Nixon. Nixon, But if
Speaker 1: you give the impression that you are contemptuous of people,
Speaker 1: and that's what I've been saying of the left in
Speaker 1: America for a very long time. They are so superior, condescending,
Speaker 1: just pretentious and contemptuous of the voters, which is kind
Speaker 1: of the mood of the over educated white Democratic voter.
Speaker 1: They just think they're better and smarter than everyone, and
Speaker 1: that is rubbing people the wrong way. It's taken a
Speaker 1: little while for certain segments of the population to catch up.
Speaker 1: But man, that is electorally speaking, and just in terms
Speaker 1: of human beings, dealing with human beings at work, in
Speaker 1: your relationships whatever, that's poisonous. And I'm just looking at
Speaker 1: the headlines. I don't want to talk about Moza. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just this dumb misstep gaff made up controversy versus
Speaker 1: this dumb misstep gaff controversy over the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: It just I guess that's the way it's gonna be
Speaker 1: up to the finish line. Oof tiring. I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: football or listen to music or something these last three
Speaker 1: days induced coma. I'm telling you, yes, medically induced coma.
Speaker 1: Can you hire a doctor to do that? Just put
Speaker 1: me down almost all the way down enough that you
Speaker 1: can bring me back maybe like Tuesday night. Hey, you
Speaker 1: were a doctor, you lost your license, you still got
Speaker 1: some of the drugs around Texas four on five two
Speaker 1: nine five KFTC more on the way takes the snap
Speaker 1: four man rush blobs, one left in at the ends,
Speaker 1: one for Garrett Wilson. What pave Garrett Wilson He makes
Speaker 1: his second one handed touchdown catch of the night. One
Speaker 1: of the sickest catches I've ever seen. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: haven't seen that, it is. It is one of the
Speaker 1: coolest catches in the history of the NFL. As the
Speaker 1: last place Jets beat the first place Texans and whatever.
Speaker 1: Maybe you care about this, that's exciting. Stop texting, stop,
Speaker 1: says The Wall Street Journal. To those political ads, it
Speaker 1: makes it worse. They determine. Oh no, if you text
Speaker 1: stop to one of those, their internal algorithm is, ah,
Speaker 1: we got a live number and send you more. So
Speaker 1: your only options are to not text, stop report is junk,
Speaker 1: and get a spam filter, says the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: and you know, wait patiently for the election to be
Speaker 1: over and hopefully they go away. But texting stop is
Speaker 1: not the right answer, which I've been doing endlessly, which
Speaker 1: is probably why I get about fifty brazilion of those
Speaker 1: texts every single day because I text stopped all of them. Right, wow, interesting,
Speaker 1: and there are laws against that, but I mean, you
Speaker 1: can bash somebody over the had and take their watch
Speaker 1: in most blue cities and not get arrested. So yeah, right,
Speaker 1: nobody's running around in forcing that, right, please, So we
Speaker 1: didn't get I live at a different house than I've
Speaker 1: lived the last several halloweens, and I knew I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of trick or treaters because it's
Speaker 1: a round about road that doesn't give a traffic done
Speaker 1: a cul de sac on it, So it's just I
Speaker 1: don't know why you'd walk down that unlikely, but a
Speaker 1: couple families did, and one group with like five kids, young,
Speaker 1: younger kids and super cute, and I'm glad they came by.
Speaker 1: I wish it could have been more. I love that,
Speaker 1: and my son really wanted to hand out candy because
Speaker 1: we had full sized bars and he wanted to make
Speaker 1: an impression. It was a flex, no doubt, full sized Snickers.
Speaker 1: I only ate candy for dinner last night. Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a Snickers, a kit Cat and then just
Speaker 1: a plain chocolate bar for dessert. Child, You had dessert
Speaker 1: after your candy dinner? Yeah, yeah, I have nothing to add.
Speaker 1: I did not feel good when I went to bed.
Speaker 1: Any who really, So they knock on the door. I
Speaker 1: step outside to get him the candy so the dog
Speaker 1: doesn't run out the door. And I said, oh, you're cute.
Speaker 1: The littlest one. How old is she? And uh, mom
Speaker 1: said he's three and a half. I misgendered a little
Speaker 1: kid in this turbulent era in California where it's a crime.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, no criminal, And you just admitted to it. Ah,
Speaker 1: what were what were the clues? Why did why did
Speaker 1: you miss gender this person? And that's quotes, folks. I
Speaker 1: will never use that terms extraordinarily long hair. I just
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't actually feel bad about it, but
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a little boy is going to
Speaker 1: have and I don't just mean long hair like some
Speaker 1: boys have long hair. I mean like way down to
Speaker 1: the middle of your back, like really only girls usually
Speaker 1: have or rock stars. You just don't see that not
Speaker 1: that long anyway. I don't know what am I supposed
Speaker 1: to do. I guess not pick a gender. And the
Speaker 1: costume was lean in a little that direction. But you
Speaker 1: know none of my business. Hey, you say, hey lady,
Speaker 1: your lad looks like a little girl. That's why I
Speaker 1: said she happy Halloween.
Speaker 2: Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
Speaker 1: Don't feel like they needed to do that. Er treat
Speaker 1: dang it. So texting stop back to them is an
Speaker 1: indicator that it's a live phone. Now send me all
Speaker 1: your emails and say, hey, JD vans here, I personally
Speaker 1: typed you this text. I know it's not you, JD.
Speaker 1: You're not following me. Yeah, well, we all suspected as much,
Speaker 1: and now we know. I can't believe those things work
Speaker 1: since they're free. They might not work, but it costs
Speaker 1: them nothing really to send those emails, so they keep
Speaker 1: sending them. It's just who even reads them. You just say,
Speaker 1: damn another politically email and try to get rid of it. Yep,
Speaker 1: we got a lot more of the way. I hope
Speaker 1: you can stay with it us Miss narget the podcast
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. So I guess it's somewhat our duty
Speaker 1: to go through the controversial clips of the twenty four
Speaker 1: hour news cycle. We've done some of them already. This
Speaker 1: is Trump at an event with Tucker Carlson in Arizona,
Speaker 1: which they're hoping to win. I gotta believe if you're
Speaker 1: a Trump hater, it makes your head explode. Trump with
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and the fact that there's a decent chance
Speaker 1: he's going to win. But Trump took the bait, as
Speaker 1: he regularly does, on something Liz Cheney said negative about him,
Speaker 1: so he had to really fire back at Liz Cheney.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, and this is what he said. She's a
Speaker 1: radical warhawk.
Speaker 3: Let's put her with a rifle, standing there with nine
Speaker 3: barrel shooting at her. Okay, let's see how she feels
Speaker 3: about it. You know, when the guns are trained in
Speaker 3: her face. You know, there are all walkhawks when they're
Speaker 3: sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh, Gie,
Speaker 3: will let's send let's send ten thousand troops right into
Speaker 3: the mouth of the enemy. But she's a stupid person.
Speaker 1: So it's being portrayed by the left as a threat
Speaker 1: of violence against Liz Cheney and the talk of a
Speaker 1: fascist dictator as usual. I don't agree with well, I
Speaker 1: don't even know. I'm not sure what Trump's stance is
Speaker 1: on Ukraine and Israel actually, which is a little troubling.
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure what kamalus stance is on those either,
Speaker 1: which is also someone troubling, as these are major issues.
Speaker 1: But that's just a it's easy to be for war
Speaker 1: if you're not actually fighting an argument that people have
Speaker 1: been making for you know, ever, Sure, and it's a
Speaker 1: legitimate argument. It's one of the balancing forces that must
Speaker 1: be at play as we make those decisions. Sure, in play,
Speaker 1: not at play anyway. So either you think that was
Speaker 1: violent rhetoric threatening Liz Cheney, that's ridiculous. Please. And then
Speaker 1: Joe Biden says his supporters are garbage and no, that's
Speaker 1: not what he meant. Please, Okay, that's the flat of
Speaker 1: the Night's a nice try again. Never in the last well,
Speaker 1: just restricted to the last three months, the critical phase
Speaker 1: of the election, not once has any human being, citizen
Speaker 1: or immigrants uttered the words. I wonder what Liz Cheney thinks.
Speaker 1: That's enough for me a couple of developments in the
Speaker 1: world of journalism worth following and we've been talking about.
Speaker 1: Is the trend now it would seem I hope it's
Speaker 1: a trend that you're increasingly meaningless yet still how high
Speaker 1: profile news sources like the New York Times, the Washington Post,
Speaker 1: the LA Times. They don't endorse a candidate. What the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal does is publish their best attempt at
Speaker 1: two uh rigorous honest editorials about the two candidates, and
Speaker 1: then they trust their listeners, they're their readers, rather to
Speaker 1: make the judgment, like to them, like is it too
Speaker 1: arguing pro for each or just pro and con? Okay,
Speaker 1: an honest, an attempted, and honest assessment of each candidate. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not a child. I know the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: swings conservative. It's why I love it so much, even
Speaker 1: when I disagree with it. It's it's worth reading. Uh
Speaker 1: So they they are definitely a little more sympathetic to
Speaker 1: Trump and and and scathing of Kamala. How could they
Speaker 1: not be scathing? The woman has no talent, She's accomplished nothing,
Speaker 1: She's a DEI higher. She slept her way to the
Speaker 1: top of California. Wow, misogyny dripping from your fangs. Fangs anyway,
Speaker 1: Katie's clapping though you may, I would make me so proud.
Speaker 1: That was perfect, Thank you. I was reminded by the
Speaker 1: great Katie Grimes of the California Globe the other day
Speaker 1: that Willie Brown, her boyfriend who gave her phony bologny
Speaker 1: bored appointments that made her hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Speaker 1: then lifted her up to the highest reaches of California politics,
Speaker 1: including being the Attorney General. When she was Attorney General,
Speaker 1: several investigations that would have ensnared Willy and his buddies
Speaker 1: quietly went away, well as the nine your own damn
Speaker 1: business as the non misogynist who's not trying to smear
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I would say that the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: might be on solid ground as a business newspaper to
Speaker 1: be pretty against her based on just her policies like
Speaker 1: price fixing, rent control, anti gouging laws, equity as a goal,
Speaker 1: I mean, like everybody being equal. What are you talking about? No,
Speaker 1: you could not design a worse candidate, honestly, unless I
Speaker 1: had fangs, for instance, for eight babies like the current
Speaker 1: sitting president. Well known infanty, dogs, cats, and babies all
Speaker 1: being eaten in a cycle. It's amazing, that's right anyway.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal's editorial about Trump, I thought was
Speaker 1: very interesting. It's entitled how risky is a second Trump term?
Speaker 1: He'd slow the left's coercive march, but his policies are
Speaker 1: likely to be a jump ball, and he says the
Speaker 1: Democrat is a California progressive elevated at the last minute,
Speaker 1: who looked unprepared for a world on fire. The Republican
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump, who still denies he lost in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: has done little to reassureed swing voters that his second
Speaker 1: term will be calmer than his rancorous first. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call out my friends at the Journal for that. The
Speaker 1: first term was rancorous, and for the millionth time, I'm
Speaker 1: no great fan of Trump. But the ranker didn't come
Speaker 1: from Trump was directed at him. The Russia collusion hoax
Speaker 1: occupied in an enormous amount of time and energy, the
Speaker 1: fifty one intelligence professionals, Russia Hunter's laptop, Russian disinformation, all
Speaker 1: of that stuff, trying to oppose him even when he
Speaker 1: was doing good stuff. That's where the ranker came from
Speaker 1: and Trump's a jackass anyway. The best argument for a
Speaker 1: Trump victory is it would be suitable penance for the
Speaker 1: many democratic failures at home and abroad. And they touch
Speaker 1: on inflation, adversaries, on the march abuses of regulatory power,
Speaker 1: law fair All of that marching forward, unchecked would be awful.
Speaker 1: Second argument is that mister Trump's first term was better
Speaker 1: than expected. His leadership was often chaotic and caustic, and
Speaker 1: he rolled through multiple chiefs of staff and security advisors,
Speaker 1: but voters were called at home. He presided over a
Speaker 1: strong pre COVID economy or deregulation, tax reformed. Additional nominees
Speaker 1: were terrific, broke many diplomatic rules. His praise for dictators
Speaker 1: was disconcerting, but the enemies stayed quiet on his watch,
Speaker 1: kept her on in the Bronx Abraham Accords. All that
Speaker 1: stuff's pretty damned good. What do you think about the
Speaker 1: argument that some people make, Like if I I know
Speaker 1: some people that won't vote for Trump because of January sixth,
Speaker 1: I think that's a perfectly reasonable argument that I have
Speaker 1: no response to. Really, I mean, if you just can't
Speaker 1: vote for a guy because of that, you know, I
Speaker 1: get it. But to the terms of him being a
Speaker 1: fascist or a dictator, he was president for four years
Speaker 1: and he didn't try. He didn't take over. He laugh,
Speaker 1: here's how he yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he did leave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in spite of his claims that he won. It's funny.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal puts it. The authoritarian rule the
Speaker 1: Democrats and the press predicted never appeared. Mister Trump was
Speaker 1: too undisciplined and his attention spent too short to stay
Speaker 1: on one message. That's much less stature. Coo.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: That's one of my reasons that what I realized is
Speaker 1: not the greatest argument for a guy that like, I
Speaker 1: just don't think he's got the energy or the the
Speaker 1: like ideology to be a dictator. He just or the youth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they touched on January sixth, Mister Trump's attempt to overturn
Speaker 1: the election was appalling and for many Americans is disqualifying
Speaker 1: for a second term. We thought he shouldn't win the
Speaker 1: nomination again, they write, blah blah. The one thing they
Speaker 1: are concerned about is that his chiefs of staff and
Speaker 1: his cabinet in general, even some of the leadership of
Speaker 1: the Senate and the House checked his worst impulses consistently.
Speaker 1: And the one thing the Journal is concerned about, and
Speaker 1: I share their concern, is that he is likely to
Speaker 1: surround himself to loyalists beyond like defense the Constitution, loyal
Speaker 1: attorney Defense, Attorney General Rudy Giuliani, right, Secretary of State
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, you know whatever. Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And he's literally talking about our k Junior is the
Speaker 1: Secretary of Health or whatever. Right. And then one final
Speaker 1: thing that concerns me seriously sincerely, after a quick word

Speaker 1: board brings up. But man, if you have not done

Speaker 1: the tone. Prize Picks Run your Game. It just came
Speaker 1: across this on the Trump clip we played about Liz
Speaker 1: Cheney and the guns being pointed at her and all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. Glenn Greenwald, who I rarely agree
Speaker 1: with lately, but he made the point all these people
Speaker 1: Morning Joe, everybody on MSNBC this morning screaming at Trump
Speaker 1: for criticizing Liz Cheney about wanting to get in wars
Speaker 1: when she doesn't have the guns pointed at her. Are
Speaker 1: all the people that have been screaming it that at
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney and her dad for like a decade and
Speaker 1: a half, word for word word, That's what the CNNMSNBC
Speaker 1: crowd has been saying. You're all about getting into wars.
Speaker 1: The guns aren't pointed at you, You're willing to send
Speaker 1: other people off to war. That's what they've been saying
Speaker 1: for years and now just for like twenty five years
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, and not Trump says
Speaker 1: it and he's the evil one. That is pretty hilarious.
Speaker 1: People are full of crap anyway. So one thing Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal Editorial Board said, other than the surrounded by
Speaker 1: sycophants thing which which concerns me a little bit, and
Speaker 1: this there are books written about this. There are libraries
Speaker 1: full of books written about this. The incredible challenge of
Speaker 1: for instance, in the wake of our need to decouple
Speaker 1: with the Chinese on shoring critical industry, be it pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 1: which I was just reading about we are so dependent
Speaker 1: on China for our pharmaceuticals, not just the final pills,
Speaker 1: but the raw materials, the chemicals, all of it military
Speaker 1: and semi military technologies. So the question of on shoring
Speaker 1: critical industries tariffs to protect US industry. I'm not for
Speaker 1: protecting US industry from competition with tariffs, but I am
Speaker 1: for protecting American jobs from unfair competition like subsidies given
Speaker 1: out by the EU or the Chinese or whatever to
Speaker 1: their companies, which is an unleveled playing field. For the
Speaker 1: longest time, Corporate America said, well, you know what, that
Speaker 1: sucks and it's not fair. But a trade war would
Speaker 1: be more expensive to the board of directors, the c suite,
Speaker 1: the stockholders than fighting for American jobs. We're not even
Speaker 1: going to bother to do that. There's a certain amount
Speaker 1: of that that's necessary. But as the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: puts it, if Trump goes with the protectionist industrial policy
Speaker 1: pro big labor voices who surround JD vance, the GOP
Speaker 1: will no longer be a party of free markets in
Speaker 1: small government. This is one way the US into slow
Speaker 1: growth Europe, where all the major parties are statists. I
Speaker 1: think that's a bit of a concern. But you know,
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, Trump is so hot
Speaker 1: to trot to the point of like obsessing over how
Speaker 1: hot the economy is and whether it makes him look good.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna employ measures that turn the US into
Speaker 1: a slow growth Europe or all the major parties are
Speaker 1: status I think he will probably balance those impulses and
Speaker 1: you know, back forth back forth. If the march toward
Speaker 1: neo Marxism continues, the radical gender theory, critical race theory,
Speaker 1: all the theories you hear that's all out of Marxism,
Speaker 1: if that were to march forward for another four years unchallenged,
Speaker 1: that would be utterly disastrous. So I'll roll my dice
Speaker 1: and hope Trump can stay under control.
Speaker 4: Speaking for myself, so you're not hearing a lot about
Speaker 4: the massive shootout involving four Hundre gang members in France
Speaker 4: and how it factors fits in with their whole immigration
Speaker 4: problem and everything. Wow, wow, blue heck of a story
Speaker 4: in Lion France. L Yo n not lyon Ted Cruz
Speaker 4: or lying Kamala Harris, but Lion France.
Speaker 1: It's Leon okay leic absolutely, proudly, proudly yes, if you
Speaker 1: haven't heard the Star State garbage. That's what I say
Speaker 1: about it. Guys, Like, if you haven't heard this story,
Speaker 1: it's something I'm not a lot of things on the way.
Speaker 1: Stay right here, Armstrong. The Weimo is stuck because the
Speaker 1: Weimo is trying to go behind the Amazon, but then
Speaker 1: it's stuck behind the Weimo and oh my god, there's
Speaker 1: another Weimo. What's everybody gonna do? It is a Weimo
Speaker 1: stand off? What is gonna happen? Who's gonna win? There's
Speaker 1: four of them stuck that way. Moo came through, so
Speaker 1: a bunch of the driverless taxi cars from one company.
Speaker 1: They're AI, how do we drive? They were facing each
Speaker 1: other and trying to figure out how to get out
Speaker 1: of it. My self driving Tesla does it every once
Speaker 1: in a while if there's like a bicyclist or a
Speaker 1: dog or something like that and it's at a crosswalk,
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know what to do. It just
Speaker 1: sits there. Nah, I don't know what to do. It's
Speaker 1: kind of funny those people behind you start honking. That
Speaker 1: was a woman laughingly mocking several computers, right, and it
Speaker 1: was very funny. Yeah, stupid computer cars it's a little scary.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the technology is like
Speaker 1: on those, but and it's way better on my Tesla
Speaker 1: than when I first bought it, So I've had it
Speaker 1: for three years, significantly better the self driving now than
Speaker 1: it was when I first got it. But every once
Speaker 1: in a while it'll just like practically lock up the
Speaker 1: brakes you're flying down the highway seventy miles nard. It's
Speaker 1: just like it senses something or I don't know what happens.
Speaker 1: It scares the crap out of you, and that you
Speaker 1: don't want that happening very often before you're just never
Speaker 1: going to use that technology. Good way to get rear
Speaker 1: ended too. Heck yeah. So, as is often the case
Speaker 1: with violence involving youths in Europe, particularly France and England,
Speaker 1: you can't find any reporting that lets you know perhaps
Speaker 1: what is exactly going on. First became aware of this
Speaker 1: with Mark Stein when he wrote a number of pieces
Speaker 1: and books and stuff like that, where he said, they
Speaker 1: always refer to the people as youths. They don't want
Speaker 1: to say out loud that it's immigrants from other countries,
Speaker 1: often Muslim immigrants, doing all this in England and France
Speaker 1: and wherever youths. But anyway, they had a shootout with
Speaker 1: somewhere between four hundred and six hundred people a couple
Speaker 1: of rival gangs in France last night. Let me read
Speaker 1: this to you from I thought this was a heck
Speaker 1: of a statement. What started as a shooting at a
Speaker 1: restaurant ended up as a fight between rival gangs. It
Speaker 1: involved several hundred people again four hundred and six hundred
Speaker 1: depending on who you're asking. The government spokesman said France
Speaker 1: was at a tipping point when it came to drug
Speaker 1: related violence. Trafficking gangs today have no limits. These shootouts
Speaker 1: are not in Latin America. They're in France and once
Speaker 1: tranquil western France. We have a choice between general mobilization
Speaker 1: or the Mexicanization of the country Holy Cow, which is
Speaker 1: a heck of a statement from a government official. General
Speaker 1: mobilization this sort of thing that a fascist like Trump
Speaker 1: would say, you know, sending out the France version of
Speaker 1: the National Guard or something I guess, or the Mexicanization
Speaker 1: of our country. It's so interesting that in so many
Speaker 1: quote unquote civilized nations, the allowing civilization to be destroyed
Speaker 1: is seen as much more enlightening than doing the thing
Speaker 1: or enlightened rather than doing the things it takes to
Speaker 1: preserve civilization, that is brutish and unacceptable. They talked about
Speaker 1: a lot of the drugs coming in from Southern Africa. Okay,
Speaker 1: So in other words, I'm sorry, just to refine my thought,
Speaker 1: allowing brutes to take control is less brutish than stopping them. Right,
Speaker 1: You will not summon up the strength and unkindness it
Speaker 1: takes to stop the brutes. Man, It'll be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how this plays out. One more reason Trump's got
Speaker 1: to be in charge. We cannot let the forces of
Speaker 1: lawlessness get another. Fourn the only one who is prosecuted
Speaker 1: trans gang trafficking drugs, prosecuted practically nobody when she was
Speaker 1: in office. Every aspect of her Her resume is inflated.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and getty. Mm hmm
