Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jackie and he Armstrong and Eddy. You know, that
Speaker 1: whole mommy party daddy party thing is a pretty decent
Speaker 1: like shorthand for describing Republicans versus Democrats a lot. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I hate the being the eat your
Speaker 1: vegetables person because that's not like who I am in
Speaker 1: real life. I never eat vegetables, but uh, just dealing
Speaker 1: with you know, the realities of life and things you
Speaker 1: gotta do and that sort of thing. But that's a
Speaker 1: little bit of what this segment is going to be.
Speaker 1: So there's a Bricks conference going on in in Russia.
Speaker 1: So the Bricks Group, back before we realized Putin was
Speaker 1: completely evil, and definitely before we realized China was evil
Speaker 1: or were admitted to ourselves that China was evil, people
Speaker 1: started talking about the bricks countries, the emerging economies and
Speaker 1: countries that were going to play a big role in
Speaker 1: the world stage. Brazil, Russia, India, China. It was just brick.
Speaker 1: And now they've added South Africa to make it bricks.
Speaker 1: And now they've actually gone plus where they add in
Speaker 1: a couple of other countries, including Iran. Now many of
Speaker 1: these countries are enemies of the United States, but they're meeting.
Speaker 1: They're having their big conference, kind of trying to offset
Speaker 1: the g seventh Summit, which is like, you know, the
Speaker 1: United States and Britain and France and people like that.
Speaker 1: This bricks thing is in Russia. So this whole idea
Speaker 1: that Putin was going to become a pariah and isolated
Speaker 1: on the world stage and their economy was going to
Speaker 1: tank and no country would want to do business with them,
Speaker 1: not so much. No, they started their own club. They
Speaker 1: started their own club, and leaders of enough countries to
Speaker 1: add up to well more than half the world's population
Speaker 1: are meeting Putin in Russia. And guess who's gonna be
Speaker 1: there with them. The General Secretary of the UN unbelievable.
Speaker 1: That guy's a monster. He is a piece of crap.
Speaker 1: So he lectures Israel about committing a genocide or whatever,
Speaker 1: but goes to Russia to meet with Putin and she
Speaker 1: for the Brick Summit. Here's a little news story about
Speaker 1: what Putin is doing in Ukraine right now.
Speaker 2: This is the safest way out of Bahmut, but not
Speaker 2: really safe at all. Video obtained by CNN of the
Speaker 2: view from a Ukrainian armored vehicle shows the wasteland the
Speaker 2: city has become. And it was in a vehicle like
Speaker 2: this that Marina and Yevhenia escaped from Bahmut. Their building
Speaker 2: was hid in a bombardment last Thursday, killing three among them.
Speaker 2: You have Hennia's thirty three year old grandson. I had
Speaker 2: to help him, she recalls, but I couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2: They waited in their ruined homes with the dead for
Speaker 2: three days before the army could rescue them. Marina's daughter
Speaker 2: was married to Ye have Henya's grandson. What will I
Speaker 2: tell my daughter? Cries Medina. She and my grandchildren are
Speaker 2: in Poland. The shelter nearby, chase Yare, provides them some
Speaker 2: comfort and warmth, but they're still not out of danger.
Speaker 1: So Putin continues to bomb these little towns, just completely indiscriminately.
Speaker 1: In fact, if it's a hospital or a school, that's
Speaker 1: a better target. Just one more. This is a very
Speaker 1: short clip of what Than's doing.
Speaker 2: This town is well within range of Russian guns, and
Speaker 2: since the battle for Bahmut began seven months ago, it
Speaker 2: has regularly come under shelling. On this day, the Russians
Speaker 2: were firing incendiary munitions over the city designed to cause
Speaker 2: fires when resident showed a suspent capsule from the rocket.
Speaker 1: So, how in the world can there be any public
Speaker 1: opinion criticizing Israel for defending itself against Hamas and Iran
Speaker 1: while being okay with Russia doing what they're doing in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you possibly square that circle?
Speaker 3: Because most appeals to morality or principle, whether in domestic
Speaker 3: politics or in international politics, are completely false. They are
Speaker 3: a cover they are accustom for naked self interest.
Speaker 1: So your theory is they don't believe the crap they're saying,
Speaker 1: almost never at that level. So at the college kid level,
Speaker 1: they believe it, but they're just ignorant of the reality
Speaker 1: of the world. They were focused on the Israeli Palestinian
Speaker 1: thing by professors and just don't have this on their radar,
Speaker 1: the fact of what Russia is doing to Ukraine and
Speaker 1: over half the world's meeting there right now and slapping
Speaker 1: backs and drinking fine wine and discussing finding a way
Speaker 1: to be able to do this more often rather than
Speaker 1: less often.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the kids, the college kids were indoctrinated successfully by
Speaker 3: the very people who I'm talking about, who again will
Speaker 3: use principle or morality occasionally as an argument, but they
Speaker 3: don't mean it for a second. It's all about the
Speaker 3: raw exercise and accumulation of power that it's horrifying.
Speaker 1: The whole world could look like bach Moot if Russia
Speaker 1: and China get their way, and they're working on it,
Speaker 1: where they just take whatever they want and they kill
Speaker 1: whoever they want the whole I was listening to a
Speaker 1: story today about how Israel bombed another hospital. It's funny,
Speaker 1: you know, I live in an area not that much
Speaker 1: different than the size of Gaza. We have like two hospitals.
Speaker 1: They seem to have a hospital on every block in Gaza.
Speaker 1: It's always a hospital. They claim everything in the hospital,
Speaker 1: but they actually bomb standalone hospitals. Russia does, and China
Speaker 1: would do the same thing, and there's nothing.
Speaker 3: Going on at those hospitals except the care of patients,
Speaker 3: in contrast to in the various Islamist sections of Lebanon
Speaker 3: or Kaza.
Speaker 1: And if you don't think Russia would do that to
Speaker 1: the hospital near you and your town in wherever you
Speaker 1: live in the United States or China would do the
Speaker 1: same thing, or Iran would do the same thing. You're
Speaker 1: just you're delusional. Yeah, it's a little tiring.
Speaker 3: The Western world, in short and ato if you want,
Speaker 3: was born of necessity and a recognition of cold reality,
Speaker 3: and through the yers of success and affluence, we have
Speaker 3: descended into a incredibly self indulgent, self congratulatory illusion that
Speaker 3: everything is about principle and morality.
Speaker 1: It's not, it's not. It is until the moment that
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 3: The moment somebody is willing to challenge that with the
Speaker 3: raw exercise of power, it gets back to being about
Speaker 3: power period.
Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be horrifying that these countries are getting
Speaker 1: together with Putin. Well, Putin can't go anywhere, he'd get
Speaker 1: taken out or arrested by us. But the fact that
Speaker 1: these countries are meeting Putin in Russia is unbelievable and
Speaker 1: there should be protests in the street. Whether you care
Speaker 1: about genocides or the environment, is the environment you think?
Speaker 1: These are the biggest polluters in the world, representing over
Speaker 1: the half country. They don't give a crap about solar
Speaker 1: and wind and recycling plastics and electric cars.
Speaker 3: Other than if it helps out their economy. Are you nuts? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree with you one hundred percent. My only quibbal
Speaker 3: is that it's completely unsurprising that these people are meeting
Speaker 3: with Putin in Russia if you understand the way the
Speaker 3: world really works. The part that is astounding and you
Speaker 3: want to slap people is that second half of what
Speaker 3: you're saying, that people conveniently ignore it when the very
Speaker 3: principles they screeched at the top of their lungs, with
Speaker 3: their eyes aflame and spittle falling on Jewish students, they
Speaker 3: conveniently forget about the next week. If it isn't Israel
Speaker 3: they're screaming about, it's just utterly moronic.
Speaker 1: Iran, China and Russia getting together for a conference, and
Speaker 1: then these other countries perfectly willing. I mean, India is
Speaker 1: not evil, but they're perfectly willing to meet with these
Speaker 1: people if it helps them out business wise. They're willing
Speaker 1: to turn a blind eye to whatever China and Russia
Speaker 1: does if it's a better business idea.
Speaker 3: Power and self interest run the world. I always have,
Speaker 3: always will correct well when we do it. This is
Speaker 3: my favorite thing that Henry Kissinger would always say, countries
Speaker 3: are it's okay for a country to look out for
Speaker 3: its self interest, including the United States, but how many
Speaker 3: ever includes the United States. Other countries can look out
Speaker 3: for their self interest, but not the United States.
Speaker 1: When we do it, it's somehow awful.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, according to Howard Zinn and our entire educational
Speaker 3: system and what we've been teaching our kids for generations.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't mean to just depress the crap
Speaker 3: out of everybody, but we have. We are the limousine
Speaker 3: liberals of the globe. The United States is that rich,
Speaker 3: entitled person who has completely forgotten about how Grandpa built
Speaker 3: the wealth of the family two generations ago and the
Speaker 3: work in the hard scrabble of reality, and now indulges
Speaker 3: themselves in these you know, it gives it generously to
Speaker 3: the opera in the art museum, and gush is on
Speaker 3: and on about liberal values because that gets them cachet
Speaker 3: among their fans friends. But if they lost their wealth
Speaker 3: and their limousine and were put out on the streets
Speaker 3: and had to make a living and live in the
Speaker 3: real world, they would fail immediately. They have completely lost survivability.
Speaker 3: I feel that way about our country sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wanted to bring up that bricks conference
Speaker 1: just so if you end up in a situation where
Speaker 1: you're talking with or arguing with people who are all
Speaker 1: about the awful things Israel's doing. When you got the
Speaker 1: UN Secretary General showing up to meet Putin and she
Speaker 1: and the leaders of Iran in Russia, I've got some
Speaker 1: perfect example of what I was drawning on about. Coming
Speaker 1: up next after a quick break has to do with
Speaker 1: China and their infiltration of the United States. There is
Speaker 1: a Chinese agent within ten miles of you if you
Speaker 1: live anywhere but like farm country. Wow guaranteed. And Liz
Speaker 1: Cheney actually brought up an interesting thing opposite direction of
Speaker 1: what she was in intending about who you would let
Speaker 1: babysit your kids. I want to ask that questions. See
Speaker 1: what Joe's answered, Michael's answer, Katie's answers. I know what
Speaker 1: my answers, So we'll see what your answer is at home.
Speaker 1: You can scream it at your radio. Stay here.
Speaker 4: Mastrongyoc asked election workers to go door to door to
Speaker 4: interrupt Sunday's Philly Eagles game to encourage them to vote.
Speaker 4: It's part of a new assisted suicide campaign.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bother much of Eagles fans, Philly fans watch their
Speaker 3: favorite teams.
Speaker 1: Is that a sports joke, That's that's the point they're
Speaker 1: intense fans. Jeck, Okay, gotcha, Yeah, that's the nature of
Speaker 1: the joke.
Speaker 3: So ranting earlier about how the United States and the
Speaker 3: Western world has to a large extent become like an
Speaker 3: aging limousine liberal our. The hard scrabble generations are years
Speaker 3: in the past, and we've become very, very comfortable, and
Speaker 3: we go from you know, wealthy person soiree to soaree
Speaker 3: spouting you know, progressive valueues because we've built.
Speaker 1: Such a secure and.
Speaker 3: Prosperous world through the opposite of those values, that we
Speaker 3: have the luxury to do that. And I worry that
Speaker 3: that's just the natural trajectory of empires, and that we've
Speaker 3: completely lost touch of what Jack and I were discussing
Speaker 3: last segment, which is, in the real world, nothing matters
Speaker 3: but power and self interest. If you can use your
Speaker 3: power and self interest to get yourself a certain amount
Speaker 3: of security, then you can indulge those better angels of
Speaker 3: your nature, to paraphrase Lincoln. But once you lose lose
Speaker 3: sight of the fact that the quest for power around
Speaker 3: the world is an utterly practical one and is not
Speaker 3: all flowery and filled with principle. Once you lose sight
Speaker 3: of that, you're in serious danger. Anyway, I've referenced this
Speaker 3: story many times because it's so instructive. And this was
Speaker 3: a number of years ago that a certain federal counterintelligence
Speaker 3: agency went to a certain major American university that may
Speaker 3: or may not rhyme with the Bouniversity of Ballifornia at Bavis.
Speaker 3: I think enough years have passed that I can be
Speaker 3: a little more specific than I used to be. And
Speaker 3: they were alerting the university president that there were a
Speaker 3: large number of Chinese nationals on the campus, many of
Speaker 3: whom were their in official capacities, that had close ties
Speaker 3: to the Chinese Communist Party and had a pattern of
Speaker 3: contacts that was highly suspicious, to say the least. The
Speaker 3: response to that American university president, getting back to my
Speaker 3: aging limousine liberal metaphor, the response to that president was
Speaker 3: get off my campus, euracists. So some of the most
Speaker 3: practical people in America saying, hey, we've got foreign agents,
Speaker 3: in all likelihood operating on your campus. The response was
Speaker 3: go away, you racists. Because even to bring that up
Speaker 3: was somehow racist. If that is not a triumph of
Speaker 3: self indulgent principle over practicality.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a better example, because I would
Speaker 1: assume that university president believes we spy on other countries. Well,
Speaker 1: of course we do, right, But they don't believe China
Speaker 1: would spy on us, what out of the goodness of
Speaker 1: their hearts or what?
Speaker 3: To even alleged it is racist? Yeah, which is so
Speaker 3: effing stupid. I want to slap them like a cartoon character.
Speaker 1: And a wackon awacon. Although I don't.
Speaker 3: Think that person has been in charge for a number
Speaker 3: of years, but their successors, I'm sure I have similar attitudes.
Speaker 3: But which brings us to this story from the Wall
Speaker 3: Street Journal how Beijing recruited New York China towns for
Speaker 3: its influence campaigns, and a congresswoman's link to a Communist
Speaker 3: Party initiative ran through one of these local hometowns associations.
Speaker 1: I will spell it out for you.
Speaker 3: In April of nineteen, a representative of Grace Meng was
Speaker 3: launching into a busy legislative week on Capitol Hill. The
Speaker 3: same day, in the central Chinese province of Henan, two
Speaker 3: Meng associates were.
Speaker 1: Delivering a letter of.
Speaker 3: Appreciation from her to the chief of an international influence
Speaker 3: operation managed by the Chinese Communist Party. She was sending
Speaker 3: him a thank you note. A common denominator in both
Speaker 3: the China trip and in Meng's political rises in New
Speaker 3: York association of Chinese Americans.
Speaker 1: Like her.
Speaker 3: The two travelers to China were leaders of the Heenan
Speaker 3: Association of Eastern America, a fixture of Congresswoman Meng's life
Speaker 3: for decades, including the over fifteen years the Democrat has
Speaker 3: represented one of New York's chinatowns.
Speaker 1: The association is.
Speaker 3: Central to bombshell federal allegations that Beijing had a mole.
Speaker 1: You may remember the story in the New.
Speaker 3: York Governor's office, and the congresswoman is now distancing herself
Speaker 3: from a group that for years described her as its
Speaker 3: vice chair. The idea is these hometown associations, because their
Speaker 3: members hail from the same place in Communist China, are
Speaker 3: best known across the US for promoting lunar New Year parades.
Speaker 1: And dragon dances and that sort of thing.
Speaker 3: But the same year Meng was elected to Congress, Shijinping
Speaker 3: took power in Beijing. And breathed new life into a
Speaker 3: Communist Party instrument known as the United Front Work Department,
Speaker 3: which operates through these hometown associations. They're all across America
Speaker 3: spreading pro Communist information, rooting out dissenters. You remember those
Speaker 3: secret jails we've talked about. We are absolutely infested with
Speaker 3: Chinese intelligence agents and spies.
Speaker 1: Would you let Trump babiesit your kids? Is a question
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney asked yesterday, and I think she thought the
Speaker 1: obvious answer would be no. Anyway, that and other stuff
Speaker 1: on the way, stay tuned, arms strong, and getty. That's right.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be the Yankees versus the Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 5: in the World Series, and tickets are already going for
Speaker 5: over one thousand dollars by Game three. The only people
Speaker 5: who'll be able to afford tickets will be the players.
Speaker 5: New York and LA are both great cities, but of
Speaker 5: course they each have some danger. I mean, in LA
Speaker 5: there's wildfires, flooding, mud slides, earthquakes, extreme heat, and in
Speaker 5: New York there's Times Square.
Speaker 1: Do you think this will get huge ratings in the
Speaker 1: back in the day, I mean, it's been forty years
Speaker 1: since this has happened. But back in the day, a
Speaker 1: Yankees Dodgers series would get huge, huge ratings. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the baseball is the same way anymore.
Speaker 3: Well for the modern era, for the present day, they
Speaker 3: couldn't do better. I don't think will it equal the
Speaker 3: ratings in you know, nineteen seventy eight, No as percentages,
Speaker 3: But I think this is going to be a great series.
Speaker 1: But will people outside of LA and New York watch
Speaker 1: because I just think so. I've been following this for
Speaker 1: a couple of years. It's baseball more than the other sports.
Speaker 1: For some reason, It's become so regional and people watch
Speaker 1: if their local team is in and just don't have
Speaker 1: much interest. As opposed to the NFL. People will watch,
Speaker 1: you know, a Monday night football game with two teams
Speaker 1: that are very far away from them. They just like
Speaker 1: the NFL. But it's not the same him for Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball for some reason, that's true.
Speaker 3: But this is as good as it gets with Sho
Speaker 3: Hey o Tani and Aaron Judge and there are other stars.
Speaker 3: If you're a baseball fan, you know their names, but
Speaker 3: this is a great great.
Speaker 1: Sure, you got Billy Martin and Tommy Lussorda and Reggie
Speaker 1: Jackson and Ron Say and maybe you ought to hit
Speaker 1: refresh there on your Internet. A couple of dumb things
Speaker 1: I've come up with around the election. There is actually
Speaker 1: something you can refer to as Trump derangement syndrome, where
Speaker 1: it makes people so crazy with their dislike of him
Speaker 1: that they, well, they get crazy. I think there's all
Speaker 1: kinds of reasons you can not want Trump to be
Speaker 1: president of the United States, and on some of them
Speaker 1: I would agree with you, But the he's going to
Speaker 1: become a dictator or whateverything I just find nutty. Like,
Speaker 1: for instance, Liz Cheney yesterday when she was campaigning with
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and I don't quite get that. I get
Speaker 1: being against Trump. I don't get if you're a staunch
Speaker 1: conservative standing up with the person that is a one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty degrees from you onlike every other topic
Speaker 1: that you care about, seems weird to me. But it's bizarre,
Speaker 1: it's indefensible, she said. One of our things she said
Speaker 1: on stage, Liz Cheney said, was if you wouldn't trust
Speaker 1: a person to babysit your kids, how can you trust
Speaker 1: them with our foreign policy, and I thought, it's to
Speaker 1: me that you're taking that as a given you can
Speaker 1: in a Kamala Harris rally, I think, but I think
Speaker 1: Trump's all kinds of a whack job, But I'd be
Speaker 1: fine with him watching my kids. Wouldn't bother me a bit?
Speaker 3: Oh number before I dignify that notion with a response,
Speaker 3: and I will.
Speaker 1: That's an idiotic framing of a foreign.
Speaker 3: Please discussion exactly, so hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I did see some responses to it by I don't
Speaker 1: know if I'd let Winston Churchill maybe sit my kids,
Speaker 1: but I'm glad he was, you know, running England during
Speaker 1: World War Two. It's not the way I choose my leaders.
Speaker 1: I was going to offer up a different one, but
Speaker 1: that one's better. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In fact, I would definitely not trust Winston Churchill with
Speaker 3: my children, not even close. On the other hand, as
Speaker 3: foreign policy was spot on, that is an absolutely idiotic framing.
Speaker 3: Having said that, even Hillary Clinton back in the day
Speaker 3: famously that twenty sixteen debate question, say something nice about
Speaker 3: the other candidate, and Hillary said he's done a great
Speaker 3: job with his kids, his kids are terrific. So idiotic
Speaker 3: question and the opposite answer of what you intended, Liz,
Speaker 3: other than that, thanks for your contribution to the National Conversation.
Speaker 1: Well, the reason I brought it up is the whole
Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome where she hates him so much that
Speaker 1: she just assumes there's giants swathes of America that think
Speaker 1: he's not capable of watching kids because he's so deranged.
Speaker 1: And I just okay, And for what it's worth, I
Speaker 1: would I would be delighted to have Kamala Harris take
Speaker 1: care of my kids when they were kids, like Lady
Speaker 1: Joe Biden hope but but nice or Joe Biden prior
Speaker 1: to his dementia. I wouldn't now because he might, you know,
Speaker 1: forget what he's doing. And I'd have to warn my kids.
Speaker 3: Look, he's gonna sniff your hair a lot, all right,
Speaker 3: just don't let it go beyond that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to come home and they're sitting in
Speaker 1: dirty diapers and haven't been feding three meals. Uh what
Speaker 1: what damn it? Look it that's not a joke. And
Speaker 1: I would warn my kids reach in the pool and
Speaker 1: rub my leg down. Joe was trained and watched the
Speaker 1: hair come back up again. That's right.
Speaker 3: He When I would tell my kids, look, if you
Speaker 3: feel a little sick and doctor Jill offers to treat you,
Speaker 3: she's not a real doctor.
Speaker 1: He would regale them with some interesting tales, none of
Speaker 1: which are true, but they would be very entertaining stories.
Speaker 3: Any kids, you ever leave the switch playing out on
Speaker 3: the rain barrel, we get it all rusty, all right,
Speaker 3: we're not having Joe and Jill you bang them on
Speaker 3: the no no, and you're not baby singing our kids anymore.
Speaker 1: Right. I'd come home and the kids would tell he
Speaker 1: told us this great story about how he got a
Speaker 1: chain fight at the pool with this guy.
Speaker 3: If you around your head, if you bend your knife
Speaker 3: and make it rusty, it leaves a jagged wound in
Speaker 3: your enemies. Daddy, Okay, that's the last time you stay
Speaker 3: at the bidens. So the other Trump arrangement thing before
Speaker 3: we get to an ad that is the other side.
Speaker 3: Just make him crap up so it happens all the
Speaker 3: way around. Quit acting like the Republicans have cornered the
Speaker 3: market on deceptive ads or crazy talk or appealing to
Speaker 3: the lowest common denominator.
Speaker 1: Quit acting that way. That's what bothers me y'all do
Speaker 1: it anyway. Here's an article in Politico this is new
Speaker 1: the very real scenario where Trump loses power but takes
Speaker 1: power anyway, on how Trump could lose the election but
Speaker 1: end up just taking the presidency. The very real scenario
Speaker 1: says politically not, it's not not in the least reel.
Speaker 1: So why would you put that again? Trump arrangement syndrome.
Speaker 1: You think you have tons of readers that, yeah, that
Speaker 1: could happen where he loses, but he just you know,
Speaker 1: he orders the army to surround the White House or something.
Speaker 3: You're crazy, Wow, that is some crazy bullplate, right, Oh, that's.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. It's all, isn't. And then this ad
Speaker 1: that Joe, did you record this off of your television?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: That's old school man, and it started like in the
Speaker 3: middle because the way that it DVR. But it's an
Speaker 3: old gal talking about how much she needs her Social
Speaker 3: Security tired.
Speaker 6: I need that money for groceries and bills. But the
Speaker 6: way Trump is talking about cutting social Security, it's crazy.
Speaker 6: Cutting social Security is like giving the middle finger to
Speaker 6: the middle class. Kamla Harris will protect social Security, not
Speaker 6: cut it.
Speaker 1: Ef The fact is responsible for the content of this ad.
Speaker 1: The only thing he's made more clear, perhaps than the
Speaker 1: fact that he is not going to cut Social Security,
Speaker 1: is that he will not sign an abortion band and
Speaker 1: the Democrats are acting like he's going to do both
Speaker 1: of those. So where's the whole.
Speaker 3: Thing he claimed without evidence that Trump would cut Social Secure?
Speaker 1: No, you're never going to hear that, or where's the
Speaker 1: have to fact check Trump because he lies constantly? Any
Speaker 1: of that from the because that's an official Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: had any of that from the Kamala hair that was
Speaker 1: a pack Okay, fine, closely associated the same thing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: same thing. So does anybody talking about how you need
Speaker 1: to fact check the left when they make those two
Speaker 1: claims about an abortion ban and he's gonna take away
Speaker 1: your social security flat out on four Pinocchio made up lies, yes,
Speaker 1: which happens in politics all the time. Well everyone knows it. Again,
Speaker 1: it makes my head explode that it's treated in all
Speaker 1: of corporate media and our debates and everything else like
Speaker 1: it's a one sided deal.
Speaker 3: And that side that ran that ad insists to you
Speaker 3: that they are so noble and above it all that
Speaker 3: they should be gifted with the power to censor what
Speaker 3: they perceive to be misinformation, disinformation and malinformation, which was
Speaker 3: the greatest example ever of people using lots of words
Speaker 3: to sound smart, even though those all are the same insane.
Speaker 1: God would load a crap. I know that's incredible, it
Speaker 1: really is. That can't last, right, Don't enough people see
Speaker 1: through this at this point? Then it becomes so cynical
Speaker 1: that you just don't believe either side is telling the truth.
Speaker 3: No, because the old stor who watches the Alphabet Networks
Speaker 3: evening news heard that is terrified is going to vote
Speaker 3: for Commlin.
Speaker 1: There's no time to get through to them.
Speaker 3: And because a fascinating aspect of human psychology, which you've
Speaker 3: highlighted through the years, you tend to believe that which
Speaker 3: you hear first, even after it's refuted.
Speaker 1: Boy, look for that in your own life. I run
Speaker 1: into that pretty regularly, and now that I know that,
Speaker 1: it sometimes pops into my head. Okay, you're fighting this
Speaker 1: because you heard first that this is true and now
Speaker 1: you know it's not, but you're still knee jerk fighting
Speaker 1: for the original position. It's just the way our brains
Speaker 1: are built for some reason. It's troubling actually, and shows
Speaker 1: you why salesmanship and politics are the way they are.
Speaker 1: And one more thing I'm on to thrown about this. Oh,
Speaker 1: there are two big articles today. The AP's got one
Speaker 1: that The New York Times got one about how Trump
Speaker 1: is basic going to base his first term off the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five project. It's just well known here are
Speaker 1: the ties between the Heritage fundation. And you know he's
Speaker 1: said over and over that he's not that he doesn't
Speaker 1: even know what it is. Which do you think Trump
Speaker 1: has read the twenty twenty five project. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's ever read anything.
Speaker 3: No, No, for goodness sakes again, project twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: is like so many other things churned out by think tanks.
Speaker 3: The Brookings Institution has cranked out some wish list of
Speaker 3: progressive crap recently, I'm sure, and a bunch of Obama
Speaker 3: heights and Biden Night's work at the Brookings Institution.
Speaker 1: It's fine.
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean Kamala Harris authored the damn thing. It's
Speaker 3: just more phoniness. Why are they resorting to outright lies
Speaker 3: and phone well? Can you can you think of a
Speaker 3: single reason why?
Speaker 1: Desperation? Maybe they're losing on the issues, So are you
Speaker 1: gonna do any of the too sy Friday night when
Speaker 1: you're partying. That's the hot new drug. I'm sorry, the
Speaker 1: what now, tucy? That's the hot new drug some some
Speaker 1: people some people t u s I. I'm not positive
Speaker 1: you pronounce it w uh or pink cocaine, pink colorcane
Speaker 1: or the toosy. It's a cocktail that contains ketamine, ecstasy
Speaker 1: in meth, actually doesn't have cocaine in it, but they call.
Speaker 3: It ketamine ecstasy and mad well it's a timesaver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow? Is that for people? That's like meth just
Speaker 1: not doing it for me, or ketamine or ecstasy.
Speaker 3: You know, I might have a glass of pinot with dinner,
Speaker 3: but I'll pass on the toosi.
Speaker 1: So if you hear anybody reference it, Hey, you want
Speaker 1: to do a little tuosie before we go to the concert.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. That would be a hard No.
Speaker 1: The pink can, the pink cocaine which has no oh
Speaker 1: cocaine in it. That's mislabeling kennemine rocks without evidence. That
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I have a warning for you if
Speaker 1: you're thinking of getting the iPhone sixteen, I have a
Speaker 1: warning before you do it. If you're at the Apple
Speaker 1: store right now, wait until you hear and my warning
Speaker 1: among other things coming up. Stay tuned, he getty.
Speaker 7: So a woman in Australia got stuck upside down between
Speaker 7: two rocks for seven hours, all because she lost her phone.
Speaker 7: She dropped it was trying to get it back when
Speaker 7: she fell into a ten foot crevice or is that curvross.
Speaker 7: When rescuers were finally able to get her out, she
Speaker 7: had only some scratches and bruises. The phone is still
Speaker 7: between the rocks.
Speaker 1: How do you fall and get wedged upside down and
Speaker 1: not get hurt? I would think you'd be terribly hurt,
Speaker 1: your head or somethinged and your head get it was
Speaker 1: a classic wedge to me.
Speaker 3: I don't know, so your hip Scott wedge, but your
Speaker 3: head was not being squashed by rocks or whatever. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe she's a little hippie. That doesn't make her a
Speaker 3: bad woman, right, women tend to accumulate weight or in
Speaker 3: the middle of the body.
Speaker 1: It's all right. That actually might be the answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she might be shaped in such a way that yeah, yes.
Speaker 3: Low center of gravity, Yeah, saved her life. Perhaps that's
Speaker 3: why if she was built like a little boy, like
Speaker 3: the damn magazine models.
Speaker 1: It's unrealistic. She just slipped right down and cracked her head.
Speaker 1: She'd be dead now. Somebody texted this on the topic
Speaker 1: of would you like Saved by the Booty? That would
Speaker 1: be my headline, but the movie, the Hallmark movie, will
Speaker 1: be called Saved by the Booty. M Ellen DeGeneres used
Speaker 1: to do a comedy bit telling about how she won
Speaker 1: a survey once on who would be best to babysit
Speaker 1: your kid? She'd say me a childless lesbian comedian, which
Speaker 1: is pretty funny on the topic of would you let
Speaker 1: Trump baby sit your kid? So, speaking of phone, so
Speaker 1: you don't end up wedged upside down? Telling you about
Speaker 1: the iPhone sixteen. So one cool feature kind of in theory,
Speaker 1: it's a good idea is it's got a new button
Speaker 1: on the side that is quite sensitive. You click it
Speaker 1: once and you're in camera mode. And so the idea
Speaker 1: is instead of like, as something pops up you want
Speaker 1: to take a picture of, you know, your kid or
Speaker 1: I don't know, a fight starts at a McDonald's or
Speaker 1: whatever it is you want to do. Yeah, you just
Speaker 1: like just one click and you're you're immediately taking pictures
Speaker 1: and if you hold it for a second and then
Speaker 1: you're immediately taken video. So it's it's kind of handy
Speaker 1: and theory, but the problem is it's in a place
Speaker 1: where I'm constantly accidentally switching on the camera or the
Speaker 1: video all the time. And like, for instance, I was
Speaker 1: going through my photos yesterday to try to find some
Speaker 1: news thing. I screen capture news all day long. There's me,
Speaker 1: there's my wang, me completely naked. Oh lord, me completely
Speaker 1: naked in my bathroom. I'd gotten on my phone, you know,
Speaker 1: to check the news, and had taken a picture of
Speaker 1: me out fresh out of the shower. And I've learned,
Speaker 1: and I've never had picture like that in my phone,
Speaker 1: and I did. I didn't even know it was there
Speaker 1: because of that dang button. So you gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: I find all kinds of stray photos, like here's a
Speaker 1: trash can, here's the inside of my car, here's or whatever,
Speaker 1: because I grabbed and then I accidentally.
Speaker 3: But I'll text to a fifteen year old girl, you're
Speaker 3: on her anthony waynter.
Speaker 1: You got me, really careful or you're accidentally taking pictures
Speaker 1: all the time, I shay guilty the court of Judge Joe,
Speaker 1: why would I want that? That's the last thing I want.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine final thought, sweet thing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the fact that exists in the world is
Speaker 1: horrifying to me. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty. Hey,
Speaker 1: I about a final.
Speaker 3: Thought from everybody in the cruder wrap things up for
Speaker 3: the day. Michaelangelow Ar technical director, will lead the way, Michael, Well,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 7: Looking at getting the iPhone sixteen, but after hearing that,
Speaker 7: I might just go with thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 1: This, you know exactly don't need the newest stuff. No, no,
Speaker 1: you know it's it's too dangerous, Michael. Katie Greener seemed
Speaker 1: to Newswoman as a final thought. Katie, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that whole I was looking at the news naked
Speaker 1: and I accidentally took it. It sounds like groundwork there, Jack,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, somebody's going to get a picture.
Speaker 4: Well, what I do mean too?
Speaker 1: It was the platin Trust me, if I ever wanted
Speaker 1: to take a picture like that, the lighting and angle
Speaker 1: would be a lot better than was. That was not
Speaker 1: a flattering No lord portray naked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you encouraged this conversation Katie, You're to blame Jackie.
Speaker 1: A final thought for us if yesterday was in the indication,
Speaker 1: the lead story on ABC News being the ridiculousness about
Speaker 1: minimum wage, this last two weeks of the election is
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of really low brow pandering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would agree.
Speaker 3: My only final thought is that I've realized that Italian
Speaker 3: food is my kryptonite.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason is.
Speaker 3: It's the tomato sauce, the spices at it, whether it's
Speaker 3: pizza or I had this fabulous meat bald dish last
Speaker 3: night and I knew I should stop it. I went
Speaker 3: back for more. And I'm usually pretty disciplined, but it's
Speaker 3: Italian food. I can't resist.
Speaker 1: It's the food of my childhood. Armstrong and Getty wrapping,
Speaker 1: I'm another grueling four hour workday. What's the matter? You

Speaker 1: About I'm gonna stop you, get out of here.
Speaker 3: But I mentioned the burrito of deceit well, the tangy
Speaker 3: salsa of irony.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm not feeling good today. I'm not
Speaker 1: liking this. Can you do different metaphors that aren't like
Speaker 1: food that would make me feel bad? Parsley on the
