WEBVTT - F-Yall-icans 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.400 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:10.119 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty Armstrong and 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:24.480 Jettie and Ke Armstrong and Yeddy Line Dannie Darnie. I 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.640 thought I could make it through it without coughing, live 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.600 from studio C season your a dimly lit room deep 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.920 with them the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:35.600 And to kick off the brand new week. Oh boy, 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.479 the new Week headed into Memorial Day. This could be 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.000 a big week for your life today. Today you're under 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:46.720 the tutelage of our general manager, the Republican Party, both 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.639 Houses of Congress and the White House. And they're going 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.160 to grow the DEAFA sets and leave bloated entitlements alone. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.360 What's the point anymore? Wow, I'm forming a new political 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.400 party of given up. Wow, coming out angry hot on 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:08.800 a Monday morning, exactly well offended, righteously angry. Not like 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.600 I lost my temper because I'm drunk angry, No righteous indignation. 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.640 It's a stupidity, that hypocrisy, the lack of principle. I 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.840 got three names, so party, so not I lost my 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.000 temper because I'm drunk angry, like that's the only other 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.480 golf shot. Now I'm helicoptering my club angry. No, this 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.840 is righteous, biblical anger. How about how about the door 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.040 dash was so slow by the time the yogurt got 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.920 to me it was all melted angry, which I had. Yes, 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:42.200 that's legit to me and pays for yogurt. You know 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.600 he expects it to be nice and chili. All right, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.440 So I got three possible names for a new political party. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:54.760 I assume you'll join me on this question. Angrytarians referencing 0:01:54.880 --> 0:02:01.560 my being pissed off. Enough is enoughocrats, gotcha? Or finally, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.840 f Yawlikins. That's pretty good too. I'd wear that T 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.160 shirt and whatever the flag looks like, I'm flying it 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:14.040 in the back of my truck. F Yaolickins. I thought 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.040 the general manager would be Joe Biden's prostate. No, No, 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.839 an old man has cancer. There's no humor there. It's 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.639 just it's terrible to be humorous. It's just a big 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:30.680 news story I adopted for Huber. I'll tell you something though, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.000 interesting wrinkle on this that just happened, and I want 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.280 to get to it before you hear somewhere else to 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:42.480 tell that came up on Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.000 and he didn't state it outright, but he was certainly 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.760 hinting at it strongly. So it turns out according to 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.280 the doctor they had, Well, there's a whole bunch of 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.760 stuff I can say about this as a guy who 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.799 had cancer. The reporting on everything that happens in the 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:03.160 mainstream news is so horrible. But as usual with this, 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.960 there are a number of things I keep hearing over 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.840 and over again. They keep saying an aggressive cancer, as 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.280 if that absolutely means something, and it doesn't at all. 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.359 Having had concert and talked to doctors before, uh back 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.480 in the day, many many many years ago, in general, 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.840 aggressive was bad and not aggressive was good, but not anymore. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.240 My cancer was worse because it was not aggressive, because 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.360 I found fascinating at the time. Yeah, because it wouldn't 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.600 take the bait. As my doctor said, you're trying to 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.400 poison the cancer with the chemotherapy, and it wouldn't take 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.200 the bait, like trying to catch a rat with you know, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.200 rat poison. It wouldn't take the bait because it was 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.119 so slow moving and aggressive cancer. He told me, well, 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.440 grasp on to the we're gonna get you and grasp 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.400 on to the poison and die faster. So often that 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.200 is better, so that that using that word every single 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.640 time in every story is meaningless. So there you go, 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.920 let's start there. I'm exciting. But the interesting thing is 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.560 that I learned from from Scarborough showed and again this 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.640 is what they kept hitting it. He's had it for 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.960 probably a decade at least through his presidency, absolutely minimum 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:16.360 several years, but probably a decade. And it's impossible they 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:21.960 either well almost certainly, they just didn't test for it, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.880 or or just didn't do anything and or just kept 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.239 it quiet because as we've said many times, the president 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.040 decides what to reveal from that presidential exam, what not 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.520 to reveal it. It is the ultimate. This tells us 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.000 nothing possible that they did that, although you'd had to 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.160 kept it, keep it quiet every year for many, many 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.200 many years. I mean, because the president, you know, gets 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.440 a yearly physical and everything like that. And did he 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.279 get tested for it every year and keep it quiet 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.640 throughout his entire presidency, probably years before his presidency so 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.680 that he could maybe run again or whatever. Or this 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.120 is what I think Scarborough was hinting at. It's just 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:08.080 is overall medical health, including his brain. They just didn't 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.520 test for things. They just didn't ask any questions about 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.160 anything because it was all gonna be bad news and 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.800 they didn't want to have to discuss anything, so better 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.040 just to not know. I think that is by far 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.600 the most likely theory. And I hate to steal the 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.960 thunder of our own featurette, but we got this note 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.520 from Jacob that I was going to include in mailbag 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.240 later on in the hour, he says, Hey, guys, do 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.800 you remember that speech where President Biden randomly said I 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.159 just found I have out I have cancer or something 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.160 like that. Then he moved on and nobody commented on 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.800 it in the White House right down? Do you remember that? Yeah, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.680 that's right, although he accidentally let it slip. Although there's 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.960 no way he just fouled out he had cancer because 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.200 he's had it for a very very long time. But Christmas, 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.760 they just gave him a PSA test for the first 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.960 time ever. Possibly although we're going to play some of 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.360 the her tapes later, he didn't know when he was 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.960 president or vice president or when his son died by years, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.400 So him saying I just found out I got cancer, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.080 who knows what that means that could have been him 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.839 remembering from ten years ago. But I'm talking about his brain. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.640 The fact that you know him having prostate cancer and 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.000 hiding it or whatever, I find that kind of a 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.720 non story actually, But the fact that it fits in 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:28.000 with just the overall ignoring everything about his body and brain, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.080 I think it's pretty interesting. Oh on how widespread the 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.080 knowledge was. And I've read a great piece we'll share 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.320 it with you later about why this all matters. Now. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.240 This is not just looking in the rear view mirror 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.160 and kicking Democrats for the fun of it. This is 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.320 one of the great cover ups in American history. All Right. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.040 Mark Alper keeps making it about the media, which I 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.720 think is a good thing. It's the biggest failure of 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.200 the media ever. Period. I don't know what second place 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.480 would be biggest failure of the media period. And again, 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.520 I just think it's mostly interesting from the hiding his 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.560 brain thing, and over the weekend, Maureen dud in the 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:12.040 New York Times, who's the guy they always quote in 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.040 the Washington Boast, the senior man. We had him on 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.640 the show when we were out there in Chicago. Dad Balls, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.280 like some of the biggest heavyweight Hitters wrote some major 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.160 pieces over this weekend about how awful it is that 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.600 this was hidden for all this time, kind of like 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.840 they're discovering it, which is weird but shocking. I mean, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.800 it's really comes to the top of everybody's consciousness as 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.240 a what the hell sort of story? Right, Well, more 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.520 on that later. It's just it's absolutely amazing. But wow, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.800 So I wonder, see he got crazy Jill involved. You 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.480 got to go to crazy Jill and the artist Hunter, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.440 who's also crazy. They might have just been saying, no, Dad, honey, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.800 no tests. Let's just do no tests, no tests about anything, 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.880 and then we don't have to lie, and then we 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.840 can just go out there and say everything's fine. It 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.920 is gratifying and somewhat shocking to look back and see 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.400 how right we were about all of this, not that 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.480 we had any unique knowledge. Look at the polls at 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.400 the time. And I said this not to pat ourselves 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.920 on the back, but virtually everything we said about Jill 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.960 is the evildoer in this. You can tell doctor Jill 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:27.800 not a real doctor. She's a crazy person. She's a 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.480 for real crazy person. Yes, she is absolutely unhinged, but 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.439 everybody in the cabinet who knew and was silent or 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.520 denied it vociferously. Chuck Schumer, who's a congenital liar. I 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.160 don't know why anybody ever listens to him on any topic. 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.760 He couldn't tell the truth unless he accidentally did it. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.800 You know, mayor Pete, you know, all of these people 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.319 who continue to be significant to you know, persons in 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:58.199 American politics. We cannot just let them get away with it. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.840 They should never be in office again. They should never 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.559 be entrusted with power again. God, who's the guy I 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.839 don't remember his name, Democrat? He's the chair of the 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.800 Armed Services Committee, like you know, a big committee. Never 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.880 talked to Joe Biden once, right, which is just incredible. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.400 Well because he in previous administrations had regularly talked to 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.320 the president as the head of the important Defense Committee. Yeah, 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.959 of course you would. Yeah. So anyway, there's a lot 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:35.120 on that Joe Biden's prostinct, you know. I hope they 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.880 get him a treatment and he's fine and all that. Oh, 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.400 he's come on, he's on DSD anyway, true, that door 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.600 uh one foot. Trump's about to talk to Vladimir Putin. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.079 That's gonna happen all on the air. I don't know 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.880 if we'll get any details about that or not, but 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:57.199 that's a big deal, yes, Michael, Well, Putin played the 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.160 power play where he makes Trump wait, I don't know. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.520 I'm actually nervous about this, just because I don't want to. 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.280 I don't, I don't. I just don't want to have 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.400 to deal with it with I hope Trump doesn't handle 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.680 it in a really horrible way. There is no chance 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:22.880 of a good outcome. There you go, war Wire's the reality. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.440 Enjoy it. Roll it around in your mouth for a while. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.840 You'll get used to the taste or a little bitter. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.120 You mean, just the war. Are you talking about us 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.920 having to talk about Trump and how he handles Putin today? Well, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.320 that too, Actually, No, I was talking about the call 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:41.480 and the quote unquote peace process. This is a dry hole. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:47.240 Nothing will come of this call except deception, and it's terrible. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:52.200 Well he got right after Trump announced the phone call 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.560 with Putin, Putin launched the largest drone attack on Ukraine 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.920 since the war started. So that targeting civilian targets. So 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.720 that happened over the weekend. Specifically, let's start show. Officially, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.120 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty, on this It is Monday, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.560 May nineteenth, Viere twenty twenty five. Were Armstrong and getting 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.199 and we approve of this program. One final thought on 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.599 that while Putin has the phone with Trump to his 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.839 right ears, shieshen ping will be in his left ear. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.040 He may even hold two phones up to his head 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.360 in classic movie gag fashion from back in the day, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.000 anyway worth remembering. All right, let's begin in the show 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.520 officially now according to FCC rules of regulations, here we go, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.480 leaping into action at mark. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.760 No, I'm not here to testify for the Didty trial 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.880 that I know I've hosted on my Instagram that I 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.959 was here in New York and enjoying myself, because I 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.400 wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.640 not here testifying. You could potentially be in danger. You 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.000 definitely don't travel openly and let everyone know where you're 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.120 staying and who you're with. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.440 You said at all, So I thought, I was, like, yeah, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.880 in danger from whom I mean? New York is Diddy City, 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.120 a potential witness in the trial who said they won't 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.079 travel to New York less they can let everyone know 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.600 where they are because it's too scary, because it's Diddy City. Well, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.720 that's interesting. They might get rubbed out like the mob 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.120 or something that was some pop culture curiosity from back 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.599 in the day. So we've got the Didny trial going on, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.880 some of the details that came out on Friday, maybe today. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.719 The why is the Mexican Navy attacking our bridges? We've 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.520 got to get to that right, this means under attack 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.880 and uh and a lot of other stuff. Katie's headlines 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.000 on the way our text line four one nine KFTC. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.959 There's a deadline you don't have, Katie. Sean Davis, a 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:39.760 well known provocative Twitter sort of person, tweeted out, it's 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:45.120 amazing the media did not discover Joe Biden's prostate cancer earlier, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.760 given how far up his butt they have been for 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.079 the last several years. Ah. Yes, I've seen that from 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.640 a couple of quarters. That is not helpful. I don't 0:12:53.640 --> 0:13:00.640 feel like that's helpful. That's sort of commentary, medically accurate enough. Yes, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.800 so great stuff to talk about as usual today, Let's 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.120 get right into it. Who's reporting what it's the least 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:07.240 story with Katie Green? 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.880 Katie starting with NBC, Trump set to push Putin to 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.000 end the quote bloodbath in Ukraine and high stakes phone call. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.960 We'll see. Trump's a great deal maker, approaching a deal 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.679 that neither side wants. That's a tough deal. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.760 if you were just playing coming at it from the 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.319 standpoint of how do you solve this problem? But if 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:36.400 he says something very harsh about putin to putin, it'll 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.559 be the first time. So we'll see what happens. It 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.720 could be a turning point, no doubt from writers. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.960 Iran says nuclear talks will fail if the United States 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:49.680 pushes for zero enrichment. 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.840 Well, according to Marco Rubio yesterday on one of those shows, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:59.160 that's a mandatory, speaking of posturing before negotiations, posture away, 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.920 mullus can nowhere defense from. 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:07.880 ABC Trump's quote big Beautiful Bill passes House Budget. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:13.080 Committee vote last night. It did, Yeah, made the first step. Okay, 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.400 The Big Beautiful Bill is a horrific betrayal bill. I'm 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.040 so second by it. I don't even want to think 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.840 about it. Joe's gonna explain it later because you are 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.120 what what is your mood for the day. Oh, I'm 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.280 just angry. I say you mentioned it a little bit ago. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.240 It's so angry and betrayed or fined. He's an f yollikin. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.360 That is what I believe. Well, that's the party's political party, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:39.480 h F yolikins, and like you guys just discussed. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:43.120 From News Nation, euroyllogist says Biden likely knew he had 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.480 cancer for a very long time. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.440 He might not have known if he didn't get tested. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.440 If he didn't get tested, it was on purpose. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:50.680 Though. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.360 Here's here's one thing I think we can all agree on. 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.520 Absolutely nothing that is being said about this at this 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.920 point can be trusted even ten percent. They lie, and 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.640 they lie, and they lie. From the Washington Post. 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.240 Seven escaped inmates still at large after three day. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.840 Manhunt in New Orleans. This story is amazing. I just 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.120 love that they let everybody know. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.600 Yeah, a couple of them are murderers, but don't worry. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:23.000 You're not in any danger. Really. I mean they escaped 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.840 old timey Shawshank style, Yeah, and then left behind an 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.280 illiterate note. We'll get to that later. From Breitbart. 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:35.040 Organizers are planning a nationwide protest for Trump's birthday. 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:42.800 It'll be called No Kings Day. Alright, alrightey, maybe they 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:48.040 can have Bruce Springsteen play slash lecture US. Oh Yeah, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.440 Trump blasted Bruce over the weekend. We gotta get to 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:50.880 that later. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:57.000 From the New York Post, LA business owner blasts the 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.760 song baby Shark on repeat, ward off. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.360 Homeless, encampments it, whatever it takes. The bums say it's 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.920 driving them nuts. Little Sentinel, knock that back, you'd be fine. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.360 And finally, from the Babylon Bee, ghost of Pete Rose 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.240 bets on Hall of Fame induction. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.160 How much time I got? I go twenty five seconds. 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.000 That's not enough time. I want to tell you my 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.240 favorite thing from the opening of Saturday Night Live. We 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.560 don't even need the clip. I just want to tell 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.440 you what it is because it was so funny. Later, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.160 but Joe, who's embittered? That's the word you used, embittered. Yes, 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.200 we'll explain to us why he's embittered. I can't wait 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.880 to hear that. Do you even want to hear it? 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.440 I don't want to drag anybody down with me. I'll 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.000 get I'm in a good mood. I'll keep us pumped 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.960 up no matter how bitter you are. All right, armstrong 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:49.600 and getdy. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.800 Trump loves these rich Arab guys. Can they set up 0:16:53.840 --> 0:17:00.520 a mobile McDonald's there lit a little different out there, Donalds. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.520 The happy meal toy is a little bone. 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:13.359 Saw made me laugh? Did you writeen that joke? Here's 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.600 the funniest thing I thought that happened on the Saturday 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.000 Night Live Go Open with the guy who does Trump. 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.720 He was talking about anyway in Abbi Dobby, Abby, Dabby 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:28.840 Abby Dobby do like the late great friends Flintstone. I 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.200 thought that was so funny. Oh boy, the late great 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.240 Fred Flintstone. So I saw then news yesterday that they 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.480 were going to have a voting session on the Big 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.600 Beautiful Bill at ten o'clock Sunday night, And because it's 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.640 the weekend and I'm a normal human being, I didn't 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.480 like take a second to look into that because I thought, 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.760 what the hell kind of a procedural deal is a 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.919 Sunday night at ten o'clock thingy? But I just did 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.680 see that the four holdouts went along with whatever and 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.000 it passed, So there you go. You know, the four 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.320 holdouts went along with whatever is a pretty good description 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.040 of it. I will be a bit more detailed. And 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.200 this is the reason I'm disgusted and embittered. This is 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.440 the most sausagey of sausage making. If you're familiar with 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:21.080 the old reference to politics. Here's your headline from the wappole. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.080 I'm gonna read you just a little bit because it's 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.600 kind of revealing of at least a couple of things. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.920 Trump's tax and immigration bill clears Hurtle after late night 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.800 vote to the House Budget Committee, passed to a massive 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.399 tax and immigration package central President Trump's agenda late Sunday, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:43.959 overcoming opposition from hardline conservatives, overspending four fiscal conservatives all 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:48.800 deficit hawks aligned with the old truck conservative House Freedom Caucus, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:54.399 change their vote to present, allowing the legislative monstrosity I 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:59.160 injected that package to be recommended favorably to the House 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.600 by a vote seventeen to sixteen. But their hesitance to 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.800 vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act out of 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.040 committee is a reminder that the far right flank of 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.960 the Republican Conference remains skeptical. I think I see where 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:17.119 you're going here. Yeah. Now, it could just be your 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.399 typical wah po journalistic bias, although the wa poe has 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.880 improved somewhat lately a little bit. Anyway, I think it's 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:30.760 unfortunately closer to true that I'm comfortable with that there 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:35.080 are only a handful of like lunatic hard liners who 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:40.359 are against the following headlines. This is from the Richard 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.280 Ruben writing in the Wall Street Journal, the stark math 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.680 on the GOP tax planet doesn't cut the deficit, It 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.560 grows the deficit. The Republican Party, with both Houses of 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.920 Congress and the White House, are going to grow the deficit. 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.320 It's undeniable. Next headline, National Review, Republicans should stay the 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.800 course on reducing Medicaid spending. They're not going to. They're 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.480 running in the other direction, partly because the incredibly smart 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.840 calculating what is he up to? Josh Hawley of Missouri 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.119 is all of a sudden, this is the guy now 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:17.400 who led the charge to repeal Obamacare. He's now out 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:23.720 shumering Schumer, saying that the party's Wall Street wing, a 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:28.160 noisy contingent of corporatist Republicans want to slash health insurance 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.240 for the working poor. Yeah, we mentioned that. On Friday, 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.479 he wrote that op ed piece that the Republicans need 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.959 to back off cutting medagare any Well, it's a reform 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.760 of Medicaid. Any reforms are a hidden tax on working 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:46.600 poor people. This is and he's referring to a thirty 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:52.640 five dollars copay for able bodied adults covered by Obamacare 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.240 Medicaid for a visit to the doctor. Thirty five dollars 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.800 copay is some sort of hidden tax on working for 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.000 And that's just the calculation that Republicans are now the 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.879 party of the working class, and they feel like they 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:06.840 got enough for working class that are on Medicaid that 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.600 they Josh Holley at least doesn't want to mess with it, 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.480 and they, uh, yeah, now the party of pandering to 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.960 and writing checks to people to win their votes. Yeah. 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.000 I was going to say that it's interesting they call 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.879 these people ultra conservative of right wing when not very 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.080 many years ago, you would have been the center of 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.359 the Republican Party. I mean that would have been I 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.760 mean as like what the Republican Party was. It was 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:33.440 it was, it was a term you would have used 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:38.720 to define the party exactly, so intrinsic to the Republican Party. 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.600 You'd feel silly even repeating what you just repeat it right, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:46.840 that no need fisically conservative. But I suppose in reality, 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.320 given where most of the party is, they are ultra 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.040 a right wing or ultra conservative because the bulk of 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:58.960 the party doesn't care apparently apparently not voters. So suspending 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.920 your children grandchill run into tax and spend oblivion. Well 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:04.879 all right, well this story got repeated a lot over 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:06.919 the weekend that we got downgraded on one of our 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.320 credit scores by one of the major organizations that does 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:15.040 that sort of thingiz. Yeah, And over the weekend it 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.480 kind of got put out there that it was like 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.680 a Trump thing because of tariffs or whatever. It was 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.640 basically around the fact that our debt is just so high. 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.760 It's just like that would happen to you if you 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.359 go to the bank and they take a look at 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.920 your well you've got with your car payments. Now you 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.040 bought like eight cars and two houses, and you're you're 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.800 just overmaxed. So we have eighty thousand dollars in credit 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.280 card bills and you only make ninety a year, right, right, 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.240 So they just down graded because you just spend more 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.440 than you make. That's what happened. That didn't happen just 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.760 in the last one hundred days under Trump. We've been 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.199 building this for a long time. And the final reason 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.080 I am completely embittered about the Republican Party in politics 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:03.080 and America and democracy and life on Earth is the 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:07.640 fact that, and it's a two part horror show. Part 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.960 number one is that there are a bunch of swing 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.840 district Republicans from big blue states California and New York 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:18.520 most notably, who are not only trying to defend the 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.879 idea of the salt deduction, the state and local tax deduction, 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.440 they want to raise it from ten thousand dollars to 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:29.680 at least thirty thousand dollars and maybe fifty thousand dollars. Meaning, 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.840 if you live in a tax and spend lunatic state 0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:37.360 like state California, all of those incredibly high taxes you're 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.119 paying you can deduct from your federal tax return. So 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:44.920 the other states will subsidize the tax and spend lunacy 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.240 of New York and California. So my brothers in Kansas 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.159 pay some of my taxes because I live in California. 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:55.400 That makes sense. Yeah, you get a giant subsidy from 0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.080 the other states, you pay a lower federal tax rate, 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:02.719 significantly lower depending on how much money you make. Then, 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:10.720
