WEBVTT - Let Love Bloom! 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:07.760 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:10.400 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:17.400 Arm Strong and Getty, and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:28.320 This is certainly about the tragic. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:34.919 Death assassination political assassination of Charlie Kirk, but it is 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.680 also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.120 is an attack on all of us. It is an 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.120 attack on the American experiment. 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:47.319 It is an. 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.120 It's Governor Cox from the other day after the Charlie 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:54.560 Kirk assassination of Utah, and he got a lot of 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.640 play and a lot of attention across the country, and 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.480 a lot of people thought he sounded like a rock star. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.080 And then it came across one of our favorite pundits 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.360 who thought, and that ain't going to work. So we 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.920 thought we would talk to that pundit, favorite friend of 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.680 the show, David Drucker. David Druncker is with The Dispatch, 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.160 a senior writer, author of In Trump's Shadow, The Battle 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.920 for twenty twenty four, in the Future of the GOP. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.440 David Drucker, Welcome back to the Armstrong You Getty Show. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.200 Yeah, good to be back. 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:22.920 How do you like the Dispatch. By the way, I'm 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.480 one of the founding joiners. I paid the big check 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.600 right off the bat, so I could be a lifetime member. 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.080 That's how much I like the Dispatch. But how do 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:30.679 you like working that. 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.840 We appreciate it. I think we're building something really great here. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:35.320 I agree. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.400 They give me the freedom, They give me the freedom 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:43.280 to report news, to report good stories. They they invest 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:49.240 in campaign travel, and I just can't say enough about 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.600 what I think we're building here. But also the sort 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.240 of trust they give me to pursue really good stuff, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.160 and the fact that we just don't do clifbait. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.480 Nothing that we think is clifbait. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.640 Right, Yeah, I know, I know, Stephen Jonah. One other 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.680 things is, and I see this every time there's a big, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.600 giant breaking story like Charlie Kirk's assassination. You don't see 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.000 a bunch of comments immediately out of people with the Dispatch. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.160 They wait until, you know, facts come out and things 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.320 settle down a little bit before you start shooting your 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:16.959 mouths off or tweeting your mouths off. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.880 Yeah, it's a philosophy with us, and sometimes we've had 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.560 to move quicker. After the attempted assassination, of Donald Trump, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.480 the president at that time of presidential candidate. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:30.200 In Butler, Pennsylvania. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.400 We moved very quickly to at least post the news 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.640 and probably moved quicker with our follow up coverage the 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.959 next day. But in general, we like to make sure 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.320 we know what we're talking about, or that we don't 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.160 sort of report anything in the seat of the moment 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.880 that then just turns out to be all wrong in 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.239 terms of the context. Context is a very big deal 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:57.760 with us. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.200 So I have a pretty healthy dose of bipartisan discussed 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.480 with politics all the way around, and you know, just 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.880 the tone of things for quite a while now, and 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.760 be nice if we can calm that down. And it 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.080 kind of fits it with what I saw you saying 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.760 the other day. I don't remember where I caught you, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:19.320 but you were a little not so fast on Governor 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.760 Cox of Utah, even though I liked what he had 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.919 to say. You don't think his tone is gonna work 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.079 in our current politics? 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:26.720 Is that correct? 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:28.040 No? 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.000 No, I don't think I meant that. I think what 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.800 I was probably, of course, like you, I've been sort 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.720 of providing so much analysis that I don't totally remember 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.280 everything I said. But I think what I think the 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:43.920 discussion you're probably referring to. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:49.040 Was a question of whether or not Governor. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:56.240 Box's approach to politics can can travel be on Utah, 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.120 And I think I was trying to make the particular 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.360 point that one of the reasons you can have a 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.320 Governor Cox who is a Republican in Utah is because 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:11.400 the incentive structure that he gets from Utah Republican voters 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.240 is different than Republican voters in other states. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.000 So this, I love this, explain that to us. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.400 So and I'm not I'm not saying necessarily every single 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:28.600 Republican leaning state would reject Governor Cox in a Republican primary, 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.280 But if you're looking for reasons why, For instance, in 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.040 twenty eighteen, Mitt Romney was able to win a Republican 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:40.760 primary being exactly who He was critical of Trump at 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.159 times enough that people noticed, so it was a regular thing, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.400 but was still able to be the overwhelming favorite in 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.000 the Republican primary. The reason Governor Cox has been able 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:55.120 to succeed in Republican politics in Utah despite being critical 0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:00.520 at times enough that everybody notices of President Trump because 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.760 Republican voters in Utah, although they're although they are supportive 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.000 of Trump, and there is a strong you know, like 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.000 sort of Maga faction or populist or just throw Trump 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:16.600 faction of Republicans in Utah. The broad Republican electorate in 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.839 Utah is basically a very very Republican state. By the numbers. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.520 They you know, look at politics and a sort of 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:31.680 Reagan era with a Reagan era sense of of rules 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:37.080 and decency and decorum. You know, they look at even 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.960 the issue of illegal immigration, they look at a little 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.200 bit differently and that they want a secure border, but 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.279 you know, they believe in more immigration, and they believe 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:52.080 that immigrants, even illegal immigrants, should be you know, treated 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.560 not necessarily as criminals unless they are criminals. And so 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.159 you can be critical of Donald Trump in Utah and 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.359 win a Republican primary. Now, I don't think that you 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.839 can be an opponent of Donald Trump and win a 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.320 Republican primary in Utah. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.159 They still would prefer. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.160 Trump as president because he's a Republican and more likely 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:21.520 to push conservative policies and support conservative values. But they 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.440 will brook criticism and they will see that as a 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.680 sign of leadership. And yes, there are Republicans in Utah 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.279 that will run against that or speak out against that 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:37.240 as being insufficiently conservative and too critical of Trump when 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.720 we should be critical of the Democrats instead. They will say, 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.680 but Utah is just a different sort of place, and 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.080 it gives Governor Talk, you know. And I'm not taking 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.599 away from his willingness to speak out in this way, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.800 But what I am saying is he does not have 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.040 to now look over his shoulder in a primary for 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.040 future office should he choose to run for another office 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.200 after his time as governor is up, and he does 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.919 not have to worry about a complete revolt of the 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.320 Republican Party in Utah because of the things that he 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:11.720 has said. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.960 Do you think he has any interest in running for president, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:15.440 like trying to beat up JD. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:16.400 Vance for the nomination. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.440 Well, I don't know, because I haven't asked him, and 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.000 I never put it past the idea that somebody that 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.680 rises to the level of governor or senator, you know, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.440 let alone dogcatcher, doesn't have it in their hand that they. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:31.680 Should be president. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.800 I don't know that a Republican like Governor Talks can 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.920 win a Republican primary against a combative populist like JD. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.440 Vance or you know, pick somebody else. Because I think 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:51.880 Republicans broadly, and particularly when you're looking in a lot 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:52.600 of these early. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.600 States, but even beyond that, have. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:02.840 Would prefer somebody that they is left conciliatory and appears 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.920 to be more of a fighter. One of the yeah, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.360 I mean, I mean think one of the reasons that 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.880 a lot of Republican voters may at times look past 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.920 Donald Trump's provocative language and behavior, even though they don't 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.560 agree with it, is because they say to him, says, well, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.200 he's a fighter. He's fighting for us. He is not 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.920 allowing the Democrats to do the sort of unfair things 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.160 that we believe for years they were doing, and that 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:36.360 the more sort of rules following the Korum following statesman 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.960 like Republicans were allowing them to do. This idea of 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:45.280 traditional conservatism where we're gonna again, I mean, Democrats will 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.360 look at this differently, right, but like if you're an 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.600 old school conservative of the Reagan mold, Reagan was plenty 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:53.080 of fighter. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.600 I mean, let's not forget that. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.880 But this idea that listen, there are just rules we 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.880 don't break, and even if they break them, we're going 0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:01.800 to argue that they shouldn't have broken the rules. 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.280 But we're not going to do what they do. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.839 It's just out of fashion right now, Republicans. If you 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:13.280 look at how Republicans conduct themselves broadly speaking, meaning lawmakers 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.960 and the president, they really have adopted many of the 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.880 tactics of the left and the Democratic Party, at least 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.800 those that the Democratic Party and the left practiced, you 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.200 know in my lifetime. 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.720 In the nineteen eighties and the nineteen nineties. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.600 And the early offs that Republicans used to complain about. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.119 And now what they've what they've done, is adopt those tactics. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:43.319 And you know, whether it's boycott's or cancel culture or 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:49.600 stretching the bounds of executive authority by the president. I mean, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.040 in all these ways, and so. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:53.760 And the people. 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.800 I can just hear people texting or saying to their 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.520 radio right now, yes and now, and we control all 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.079 three brands. So is the government from doing that? So 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:03.000 it's been successful. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.480 Yeah, no, I think so. And look I think for 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.240 you know, Republicans look at it this way too. I 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.960 mean to be and I didn't I don't think my 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.160 other comments were unfair, but you know, the old thing, 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.160 to be fair, they watched Bill Clinton have an affair 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.440 in the Oval office and lie about it. Democrats didn't 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.320 have any problems with that. They never complained about it. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.440 They never said Bill Clinton should resign, They never said 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.240 it was wrong. They basically were tribal. Well, Bill Clinton's 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160 our guy. He's doing a good job. Voters seem to 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.840 like the job he's doing. Look what we've won because 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:37.360 of Bill Clinton, and so that's okay. And and they, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.080 you know, from from a conservative point of view, they've 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.800 seen all sorts of things like that. And so I'm 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.760 not saying the right answer is therefore to act like them. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.440 But if you talk to Republicans, they're going to say, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.559 why are you on our case? Democrats have been doing 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.760 this for years. The bra or analytical point I was 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.880 making was we're you know, Republicans in a sense that, well, 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.360 if you can't beat him, join a right, that's what 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:01.880 they did. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.320 Right, How do we whether it's political violence? Though just 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.040 you know x's and o's tactics in politics, how do 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.840 we stop the race to the bottom? Though each side 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.160 thinks the other side fights dirtier than them, so we 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.400 need to adopt their tactics. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.600 Both sides think that. I mean, so where do you 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:20.960 end up? 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.960 I mean, you don't go anywhere good with that attitude. 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.960 It's the biggest consistency in my twenty plus years of 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:32.920 covering politics, both Republican operatives and Democratic operatives, never mind 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:37.120 elected officials, consistently tell me the other side, the other 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.480 side plays dirtier than us. I wish we played as 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.640 dirty as them, then we would win as much as 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:43.040 they did. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:45.280 That's incredible. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.600 The way the only way that any of this stops 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:53.640 is somebody or both sides stop keeping score and just stop. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.959 You know, my this is I don't normally do personal 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.000 anecdotes here, but I feel like it's like the best 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.680 analogy I have. Some years back, four years ago or whatever, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.600 we were celebrating my in law's fiftieth wedding anniversary, and anyway, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.520 the rabbi who married my wife and I is a 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:15.000 a a relative A couple of times removed something like that, 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.680 Jimmy Kessler, who passed away since, but Rabbi Kessler was 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.480 there and we were, you know, asking him because he 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.440 had been married fifty plus years, and I think my 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.000 wife or I asked him like, how do you do it? 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.559 How do you know we've been married at this point 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.120 maybe ten years, nine years? I don't know, like, how 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.320 how did you get to fifty plus years? And he 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.240 just looked at Fuss and he said, you have to 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.800 sometimes you have to know when to punt. And that 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.280 sticks with me because you know, that's. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.280 What marriage advice right there. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.599 If nobody tells anything else from this, that is a 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:45.400 good marriage advice. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.520 Yeah. But I mean, if you look at the United 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.319 States of America like an extended big family, we never punt. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.320 Well, either side ever punts. You go for it on 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.599 fourth down always. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.680 Yeah, I mean, if that's not to say that what 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.840 the assassination Charlie Kirk wasn't a distinct act with this 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:09.880 with the suspect doing it for distinct political reasons. But 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.720 when I'm asked the question where does this end, well, 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.320 it either ends very badly or at some point people 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:26.040 stop keeping score and say stop. Yeah, okay, Well I'm. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.240 Afraid we're out of time. David. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.880 I don't know if I like our chances at least 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.800 in the short term on that. But appreciate your talk today, 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.360 David Drucker of The Dispatch, Thanks for coming on, David. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.280 An Yeah, I want to talk more about that a 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.400 little bit later, but I need to tell you about 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.040 simply Safe. I pull away from my house every single 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.640 day and see the simply Safe sign, and it makes 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.319 me feel better about leaving my home because I got 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:49.920 all the stuff there that is going to protect me 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:57.080 and my script protect me with the AI powered cameras 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.560 and all that sort of stuff. I got the censors 0:13:58.559 --> 0:13:59.920 on the doors and the windows. I got the lights, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.760 I got all those different sorts of things. You can 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.720 get two way audio to confront people that are lurking 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.560 around your house, trigger sirens, spotlights, contacting the police, all 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.640 this stuff. I mean, it's the best security out there. 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.880 All kinds of publications have said this sixty day money 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.760 back guarantee, no contract. What does that mean to you? 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.600 That means simply Safe believes in their product and thinks 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:21.240 you're gonna like it. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:22.360 Visit simply safe. 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.480 Dot com slash armstrong to claim fifty percent off a 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.920 new system that's simply safe dot com slash armstrong.

Katie got a project for you. All 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.280 other commercials are going figure out why keep seeing a 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.800 video on TV of a one legged woman hitting a 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.240 golf ball. Why do I keep seeing a one legged 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:46.440 woman hitting a golf ball? 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.680 Katie will explain when we come back. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:56.760 Armstrong that this pepsi is replacing the artificial dies in 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:02.880 Doritos and Cheetos with colors made from beats, radishes, and paprika. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.440 It's perfect for all those health conscious people who eat Cheetos. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:10.880 And dorita Right, that's a decent point if you're if 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.560 you're if you're a person who wants to eat Doritos, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.640 and I eat crap all the time. Everybody who listens 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.720 knows that the the fact that there's a dye in 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.480 there that one in eight million people could get some 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.280 kind of cancer from, is not you know, come on, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.480 you don't worry about that sort of things. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:30.120 You're eating freaking doritos. It reminds me. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.360 We had the conversation the other day Joe and I 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.400 about energy bars. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.760 They call them energy bars, or. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.680 You know, it's a candy bar with a different colored 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.440 wrapper on it, and they not all the time, but 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.720 most of the time it's just a danged candy bar. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.960 And they put a like a green wrapper and a 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.480 stalk of wheat on there and act like you know, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.280 it's it's not a candy bar. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.080 They say it's a protein bar. Yeah, and there's twenty 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.320 grams of protein and like thirty five. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.840 Grams of sugar yeah, and a whole bunch of fat. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.240 And it's chocolate and caramel and peanuts and it's just 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.040 like any other anymore. But one I grabbed at the 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:12.880 grocery store last night said all natural and artificial flavors. Okay, 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.720 I'm sure there are some natural flavors and everything. I 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:22.680 don't think everything is one artificial. That's funny. All natural 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:28.080 and artificial flavor to what? Okay, fantastic. So the one 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.680 legged chick playing golf, I keep seeing that up on television. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.920 Wondered with that. Was she's the poor girl we got 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.880 her leg bit off by a shark. Yeah, a arm 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:37.480 and leg. 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.920 Wow, she's she's hitting a golf ball with one arm 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:41.680 and one leg. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:42.080 Yeah. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.840 Lulu Gribbon, that's her name, and she's actually she's launching 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.200 something called Lulu Strong and it's gonna help, you know, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.000 amputees get into sports. 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:52.240 Here. 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.560 She's not entering an ass kicking contest? Is it? 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.480 Because the legend has it? That's a bad idea it's 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:03.200 very tiring, at least, that's what the legend is. Incredibly exhausting. Well, 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.480 good for her, I just yeah, yeah, obviously, good for her. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.639 She's overcoming something I can't even imagine. But man, I 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.040 think I just decide my golfing days are behind me. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.119 Man, she was fifteen years old when this, when she 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.160 got attacked by the shark. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.399 Horrible, horrible, amazing that she lived through that. 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.600 But so you sure it's the same person because the 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.720 woman I saw up there, I noticed the one leg 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.040 because she hits the ball and then she hasked to 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.920 hop afterwards, just from the momentum of the swing. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:35.680 But she's swinging with one arm too. Yeah, she should. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.399 Challenge all other one legged, one armed people do a 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:38.880 golf match. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.160 I'll bet she could beat them. Oh, I'm sure of it. Yeah, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:43.280 I think it's the same one. 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.800 Because she's going to be on one of our big 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:47.480 morning talk shows this morning. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.920 So oh, okay, Cools probably why good for her.

Okay, and yeah, it's 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:37.960 quite the story. 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.200 That can't be a scam, right, No, it's obviously a scam, 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.199 but it's pretty entertaining. And mostly what I'm getting out 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.840 of it is do people actually fall for this? And 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.960 if they do, how incredibly sad is that? I'll have 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:54.840 to read you some of the emails. I mean, they're 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.600 so over the top. Anyway, I'll get to that later. Currently, though, 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.040 we need to welcome the ga half of Armstrong and 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.400 Getty to the show, Joe Getty Joe Hey. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.280 During these ugly times.

If there's even a human involved, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.880 it might just be a bot. But you know it's 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:20.800 some scamsters. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.000 But there was nothing. 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.760 So somehow they they got my email and knew I 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.680 was a male. So this is a person portraying themselves 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.520 when they include pictures, and she's like twenty years old. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.600 Appears to me you're a little young for me, this 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.080 hot Ukrainian woman who has fallen in love with me 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.719 just from my picture. Somebody showed me your picture and 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.359 I just couldn't stop thinking about you, and so I 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.080 thought I would email you and think they see if 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.040 there's a chance we could be together or something, would 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.159 you please correspond with me?

I emailed back, 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:01.600 and and then since then I just get these regular 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.760 emails about it, how in love she is with me 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.760 and everything like that.

I was an art gallery today and I 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.560 saw a painting of a man and a woman holding hands, 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.320 and I thought of you and me and how we 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.479
