Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: I think for many of us, the last twenty four
Speaker 3: hours certainly have been a bit shaking with the reporting
Speaker 3: coming out in The Atlantic donald Trump's dissension into madness.
Speaker 2: Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes? I do, Yes,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: It was right when we got off the air yesterday.
Speaker 2: So this is all clearly orchestrated, which fine people always
Speaker 2: act like that's a crime. I don't mind that you
Speaker 2: orches straight a campaign. I mean that seems like a
Speaker 2: smart thing to do. Actually to me, it's called a campaign.
Speaker 2: It's a little frustrating when it includes major media that's
Speaker 2: supposed to not have their thumb on the scale. But please,
Speaker 2: I'm a grown up. So Kamala Harris made the turn
Speaker 2: what last weekend into Trump's hitler and a fascist and
Speaker 2: scary and deranged and has dementia and like went hard
Speaker 2: on it all weekend. It was clear like, okay, is
Speaker 2: this going to be their closing message? Which is obviously true. Now,
Speaker 2: then the Atlantic magazine piece comes out, including the interview
Speaker 2: with former Chief of Staff John Kelly, the general saying
Speaker 2: I think he wants to be a fascist, and he
Speaker 2: admires Hitler and all that sort of stuff. And then
Speaker 2: yesterday morning, and this is not something you throw throw
Speaker 2: together quickly. Right after we get off the air, Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris at a I don't know where she was, but
Speaker 2: it looked like it had the White House look to it,
Speaker 2: with a US flag behind her and another flag behind her,
Speaker 2: a very presidential looking thing. She walked out to a
Speaker 2: podium and gave an address about how dangerous Trump is
Speaker 2: we now know, given the comments of John Kelly, that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is hell bent on being a fascist, and
Speaker 2: so like it was like her State of the Union
Speaker 2: address about Trump's brain.
Speaker 1: This is a moment of critical choice for the American people.
Speaker 2: And then you had uh old Walls out there yesterday,
Speaker 2: well play fifty one, that whole thing.
Speaker 3: I think for many of us, the last twenty four
Speaker 3: hours certainly have been a bit shaking, with the reporting
Speaker 3: coming out in the Atlantic donald Trump's dissension into madness,
Speaker 3: so that.
Speaker 2: Dissension acting like you know, I'm as shocked as anybody
Speaker 2: that this has come upon its as opposed to, we've
Speaker 2: got laid out the way all this is going to work,
Speaker 2: and the things we're going to say. But I mean,
Speaker 2: the whole dissension, the madness. I mean, that's a pretty
Speaker 2: dramatic phrase. Don't you think it's a bit much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And then they don't really have to coordinate with the
Speaker 2: dominant media, because the dominant media is so all in
Speaker 2: on stopping Trump from being president that they play a lot.
Speaker 2: Here's Lester or Holtz intro on the NBC Nightly News.
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris on the attack after disturbing new allegations by
Speaker 5: Donald Trump's former White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly,
Speaker 5: the retired Marine general and mister Trump's longest serving chief
Speaker 5: of staff, warning his former boss meets the definition of
Speaker 5: a fascist and that mister Trump praised Adolf Hitler. The
Speaker 5: Trump campaign disputing at all, the Vice President saying Kelly's
Speaker 5: remark show mister Trump is unhinged and seeking unshacked power.
Speaker 2: So that's the way it was on all the newscasts
Speaker 2: all day long. So I assume this is actually the
Speaker 2: closing argument, as opposed to, I can see why you'd
Speaker 2: have a dose of that, given Trump's personality. I am
Speaker 2: surprised though, that they're not running on. Look, the economy
Speaker 2: is turned around, here's all the examples, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: I'm going to help the working class.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, well they must have internal polling and analysis
Speaker 1: that says it's not working. I was led understand that
Speaker 1: Kelly had made several of these statements years ago in
Speaker 1: his book and in other interviews.
Speaker 2: And just the audio is the new part. It doesn't
Speaker 2: really matter. The audio is the only new part.
Speaker 1: Which okay, Well, then Lester Holt saying what he said
Speaker 1: is just Petentley falls new allegations of surfaced.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you're right to call it. That isn't
Speaker 2: but but that, yeah, that happens a lot where old
Speaker 2: allegations get dredged back up and they're treated new. But yeah,
Speaker 2: the fact that he'd done an interview was the new thing,
Speaker 2: and they had audio, and so then Jeffrey Goldberg of
Speaker 2: the Atlantic went around did all the interviews. So it
Speaker 2: was a giant hit on Trump all day long. All right, Uh,
Speaker 2: it's a heck of a thing. I mean, it's where
Speaker 2: we are as a as a country. For I was
Speaker 2: about to say, for better or worse. It's clearly for worse.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's better down this road. Lies madness.
Speaker 1: The other guys a df That's what the campaign is
Speaker 1: boiled down to. He's deranged, fascist descent into madness.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jonathan Turtley's right, that is a heck of a
Speaker 2: thing to say about your opponent. Of course Trump says
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff all the time, and it I
Speaker 2: don't know what lands differently because you don't take him seriously,
Speaker 2: I guess, or some of you do, some of us don't.
Speaker 2: When he says she's an idiot or crazy or whatever.
Speaker 2: Vice president. Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's just rude. She's to had many great
Speaker 1: achievements as vice president. She dealt with the root causes,
Speaker 1: she ended price gouging at grocery stores, so many achievements.
Speaker 1: I think you're right to earlier when you said that
Speaker 1: this is not an effort in any way to sway anybody.
Speaker 1: I mean the whole Trump's like Hitler. Please, how many
Speaker 1: times have we heard that it's an effort?
Speaker 2: Bush was Hitler, and then Romney was Hitler, and McCain
Speaker 2: was Hitler. It is an.
Speaker 1: Effort to terrotivate their core boy, I don't know that word.
Speaker 1: That's a terrify and motivate, motivates through error. They're trying
Speaker 1: to terrotivate the Democratic Corps voter into turning out.
Speaker 2: I like that word. That's a good one. You've got
Speaker 2: to put a little TM next to that one. Make
Speaker 2: money off of it. Is that a thing? Can I
Speaker 2: do that? Have the lawyers get started? Yeah, that's clearly
Speaker 2: the strategy.
Speaker 1: I mean, because it just seems so unhinged speaking of
Speaker 1: unhinged to be like the closing argument, he's senile and
Speaker 1: by the way, deranged and by the way, a fascist.
Speaker 6: I got lot or not.
Speaker 2: Say he's got a master plan he's going to carefully
Speaker 2: orchestrate through his madness somehow right and his dementia and
Speaker 2: his dementia. So it could be just a you're trying
Speaker 2: to make him so unpalatable you wouldn't vote for him
Speaker 2: or bring down his numbers. Wall Street Journal's pull out
Speaker 2: today has Trump with the highest approval rating he's ever had.
Speaker 2: That is meaning he's over fifty percent for the first
Speaker 2: time I think ever in any poll of approval. That's
Speaker 2: got to be that's got the Harris people have to
Speaker 2: be walking around like with their head in their hands, saying,
Speaker 2: how is this possible that he's getting more popular? Right?
Speaker 1: Well, I just think it is America being held by
Speaker 1: the shirt by assistant coach Waltz, his spittle flying into
Speaker 1: our faces as he announces that we have to vote
Speaker 1: for his boss lady because the other guys had deranged
Speaker 1: Nazi You.
Speaker 2: Gotta vote Peck whatever.
Speaker 1: What havever, and America saying, you know what, the other
Speaker 1: quit yelling at me because there's no other way to
Speaker 1: explain Trump having his highest approval ratings at this point
Speaker 1: other than as a rejection of the unhinged other side.
Speaker 2: And you know me Trump pleas Eve.
Speaker 1: Well, I'd like to you know what, I would like
Speaker 1: to see Trump get the inauguration, give a speech and say,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, I'm old and fat.
Speaker 2: Jd. Vance is brilliant. He's the president that would make
Speaker 2: me happy. You want to know what Joe Getty wants.
Speaker 2: That's what Joe Getty wants.
Speaker 1: Having said that Harris Walltz have given America virtually no
Speaker 1: reason to vote for them, and that approval number is
Speaker 1: an expression of that.
Speaker 2: It's got to be Well, I guess they're rolling the dice.
Speaker 2: I guess David Pluff decided the best bet is Trump
Speaker 2: is too unpalatable to vote for. Nobody voted for Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: No Boddy. He got eighty two million votes, and not
Speaker 2: a single one of them was for Joe Biden. They
Speaker 2: were all doctor jail, not a ill doctor. She just
Speaker 2: didn't like Trump. They were all he didn't even vote
Speaker 2: for him. And I guess they must have thought that'll
Speaker 2: be the case again, There'll be enough people turn out
Speaker 2: that just don't want Trump. All we gotta do is
Speaker 2: not have Kamma do anything awful to you. What we'll
Speaker 2: go ahead, which they've tried kind of succeeded Airsdal.
Speaker 1: I think it might have worked had Joe Biden not
Speaker 1: in the tradition of and this is this is the
Speaker 1: theme of a lot of Senate races and House races
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: They're trying to do what.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden did, which was say, hey, I'm a moderate,
Speaker 1: I work across the aisle, or in the case of
Speaker 1: some of the races right now, I've worked with Trump before,
Speaker 1: I can work with him again. But Joe Biden made
Speaker 1: that claim then pivoted way to the left. We got
Speaker 1: the Elizabeth Warren administration. We got an administration that made
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders say too much, You've gone too far, and so.
Speaker 2: The whole I'm a Democrat.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you what any of my
Speaker 1: policies are, but trust me when I say I'm a moderate.
Speaker 1: There's a significant chunk of America that thinks, no fool
Speaker 1: me twice, shame on me.
Speaker 2: So on the other side of things, to the Trump is,
Speaker 2: I don't think he's got a descent in Amandess and
Speaker 2: I don't think he wants to be a fascist, but
Speaker 2: he is all kinds of odd and uh oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Like yesterday his truth social post about General the general
Speaker 2: what's his name, Kelly Kelly. I was gonna say Millie who.
Speaker 2: He's also disparaged quite a bit his post yesterday about
Speaker 2: General Kelly about how he's a bad general and a loser.
Speaker 2: And I fired him because come on, why do you
Speaker 2: got to say stuff like that? It's just that free
Speaker 2: it is. It is definitely childish. It's just it's just insane.
Speaker 2: There's nobody who thinks General Kelly was a bad general
Speaker 2: or a loser. Nobody, I mean, why say stuff like that?
Speaker 2: It's just like, what are you seven years old, say
Speaker 2: I did not say anythings. I have great respect for
Speaker 2: the general and the service to our country, and i'm
Speaker 2: and he was a great chief of staff, but I
Speaker 2: did not say those things right period. For some version
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's here's in defense of Trump, though, it's very
Speaker 1: easy to understand why a lifelong CEO, and we talked
Speaker 1: about this at fair length yesterday. If you ever missed
Speaker 1: a chunk of the show, grab it via podcast Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty on demand. In fact, you should subscribe. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it's easy to understand. I've seen this over and over
Speaker 1: again that a CEO, particularly of a privately owned business
Speaker 1: like Trump Enterprises, who is used to quasi dictatorial powers.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what being a CEO is.
Speaker 1: You might have a board of directors, you might have shareholders,
Speaker 1: but if you tell the you know, your manufacturing department
Speaker 1: to start building another plant, they will build another plant.
Speaker 1: And it happens over and over again that a CEO
Speaker 1: comes into politics and he realizes that, oh, I do
Speaker 1: not have those same powers. And it would be easy
Speaker 1: to see to portray a CEO chafing at the limitations
Speaker 1: of executive power in the executive branch coming off like
Speaker 1: a fascist. He wants generals who do what he says
Speaker 1: the minute he says it. That's just not the way
Speaker 1: our system works. It does Trump go too.
Speaker 2: Far in that direction.
Speaker 1: Does he have a lack of regard for the norms
Speaker 1: of the office and why they're important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he does.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the idea that just because
Speaker 1: he wants a government to move more quickly, he's some
Speaker 1: sort of avowed fascist, I think he's just silly.
Speaker 2: So I want to get this on because this is
Speaker 2: absolutely true. There's a steady stream of warnings. We got
Speaker 2: this text from somebody pushing back against our being too
Speaker 2: easy on Trump. Sure, there's a steady stream of warnings
Speaker 2: and of dangers of another Trump presidency coming from the
Speaker 2: men and women who work directly with him, and most
Speaker 2: of them, almost entirely all of them are Republicans. Ex
Speaker 2: Mobile CEO Rex Tillerson, his first Secretary of State, you know,
Speaker 2: calling him an effing moron. I mean you probably remember
Speaker 2: most of the examples, but John Bolton, Mike Pence, Mark Milli,
Speaker 2: Mark Esper's former Defense secretary there. I mean, that is extraordinary.
Speaker 2: I can't remember that ever happening ever where You've got
Speaker 2: all these high, high level people that were in your
Speaker 2: orbit that come out and say, look, I worked with
Speaker 2: the guy. He's a dangerous, lyumitic.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Trump is a highly flawed individual. He is, and
Speaker 1: his flaws need to be insured against. They need to
Speaker 1: be opposed, They need to be watered down or cooled
Speaker 1: off or whatever. That's part of the deal with Trump. Well,
Speaker 1: some of you rather, a lot of people would rather
Speaker 1: have his policies and his judges the rest of it
Speaker 1: than Kamala Harris. That's not some sort of endorsement of
Speaker 1: his sanity or good judgment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big America doesn't feel like they can roll
Speaker 2: the dice on his temperament. And then I think fifty
Speaker 2: plus one or a little more is going to say
Speaker 2: I'm willing to roll the dice on his temperament. Well summarized,
Speaker 2: I think that's what's going to happen. More on the
Speaker 2: way Armstrong Hetty.
Speaker 7: Video released by the Ukrainian government shows North Korean troops
Speaker 7: receiving military gear in Russia. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong
Speaker 7: Un have their troops training side by side at three
Speaker 7: specialized military sites inside of Russia. Ukrainian President, Zelinsky warned
Speaker 7: that Russia may send those forces to Ukraine, proving Putin
Speaker 7: seeks to escalate, not negotiate, and axis of US adversaries
Speaker 7: are now helping Russia. Iran sent personnel and drones, China
Speaker 7: lent much needed financial support, and North Korea sent munitions.
Speaker 2: When you put it like that, Margaret, that's a problem,
Speaker 2: I'd say.
Speaker 1: And I always think of North Korea as a small,
Speaker 1: poorish country.
Speaker 2: But they've got a massive army. That's the second biggest
Speaker 2: army in the world, one point two million soldiers. Yeah. Crazy,
Speaker 2: that's their only priority.
Speaker 1: Everybody else starves, although I got a feeling they got
Speaker 1: the skinniest soldiers on Earth too. But wow, troubling time,
Speaker 1: so domestic story, a complete change of pace. I found
Speaker 1: it surprising and interesting. Indeed, Boeing's largest union rejected a
Speaker 1: new labor deal yesterday that would have extended a six
Speaker 1: week strike.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The rejection extended a six week strike that's plunged the
Speaker 1: jetmaker into increasing financial peril. The members of the machinist
Speaker 1: union voted by a large percentage against a proposed contract
Speaker 1: that would have delivered a thirty five percent way increase
Speaker 1: over four years, and so without a deal, the factories
Speaker 1: that build all their big airplanes remain idled, further sapping
Speaker 1: the company's revenue and risking more disruption that supply chain.
Speaker 2: Shale shares have continued to decline. Well, first of all,
Speaker 2: if they're struggling, are they gonna have to cut back
Speaker 2: on bolts like they did before? Can't can't put all
Speaker 2: the bolts in the doors. Let's just hope they stay
Speaker 2: in unfortunate. So I've been following this at all. Did
Speaker 2: some genius think now's a good time to strike after
Speaker 2: the endless stream of bad Boeing.
Speaker 1: Stories over the last year, and they're incredible financial distress.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is from the department of Golden gooses.
Speaker 1: This is Hey, the golden goose is coughing up blood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's sit on its chest till it lays more eggs.
Speaker 1: The golden goose is sick.
Speaker 2: Punch it. Maybe a leather egg will come out. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: John Holden, president of the local International Association Machinists. But
Speaker 1: I said members are angry over years of concessions made
Speaker 1: on the threat of losing jobs.
Speaker 2: Dudes, that wasn't an idle threat. They're hurting bad.
Speaker 1: Ending the stoppage is a priority for the new chief exec,
Speaker 1: who recently set plans to cut seventeen thousand jobs and
Speaker 1: still at least ten billion dollars in shares to plug
Speaker 1: the company's cash drain. I think Boeing is sick and
Speaker 1: not in like the kids would say. Man, that concert
Speaker 1: was sick now, like like they have a disease.
Speaker 2: Tough is what you say now? For everything? Is that
Speaker 2: good or bad? Good? Tough? All those shoes are tough.
Speaker 1: They're not tough. Boeing is not tough. No Boeing is bad.
Speaker 1: What would I say if it's bad?
Speaker 2: I don't know, sus I said that the other day
Speaker 2: and my son said, please don't ever say that again.
Speaker 2: So nobody says that.
Speaker 4: Dad.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't. I can't keep up. They changed too fast. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not in your little tribe. Boy.
Speaker 1: That would have been my response. I found high handedness
Speaker 1: was the best way to parent.
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris CNN town Hall. We got some highlights for
Speaker 2: you that are something coming up. It was not tough,
Speaker 2: armstrong and getty.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 6: Henderson Jackson. Think you're taking that time to be here.
Speaker 6: Two vis Pasiing Harris, thank you. Regarding the rapid increase
Speaker 6: in the migrant population, how are you ensure that every
Speaker 6: immigrant is integrated into American society safely? What benefits and
Speaker 6: subsidies will you provide them with? And how long will
Speaker 6: these benefits and subsidies last for an individual? Most importantly,
Speaker 6: will the American citizens taxes pay for these benefits and subsidies?
Speaker 6: And if so, how much money? How much money will
Speaker 6: be allocated?
Speaker 2: So that was the first question in the town hall
Speaker 2: last night, which had me pulling my hair out metaphorically,
Speaker 2: I don't have any hair, As questions are always asked
Speaker 2: from the single most progressive point of view, at least
Speaker 2: that first part with how are you going to ensure
Speaker 2: that all these people have everything they need? Is that
Speaker 2: my role is that any I didn't take those questions
Speaker 2: that way. He took me say that kids should be
Speaker 2: the head of CBS News. He said, how are you
Speaker 2: going to successfully integrate these people? Will taxpayers be paying
Speaker 2: for it? How many benefits will they get and for
Speaker 2: how long? Well, I'll tell you this or her answer
Speaker 2: is not worth playing. All right, maybe we're gonna play it,
Speaker 2: but it's your typical Kamala Har's answer long, rambling whatever,
Speaker 2: But I don't know who the people were asking the questions,
Speaker 2: but somebody didn't point this out. Here's the woman up there,
Speaker 2: and it sat on the bottom. Carol Knackernoff, who's her name?
Speaker 2: Something like that political science professor at Swarthmore College claiming
Speaker 2: to be an undecided voter. Excuse me? And then he died.
Speaker 1: Holy count, you got a soft science professor at Swarthmore
Speaker 1: who might swing.
Speaker 2: Right, it's an undecided voter, as a Charles cw A
Speaker 2: Cook retweeted, I don't know how they pulled it off,
Speaker 2: but for the Harris town Hall, CNN managed to find
Speaker 2: a woman registered Democrat, poly side professor at a liberal
Speaker 2: college who's undecided.
Speaker 1: Boy, if she is, she's as lonely as a polar
Speaker 1: bear in the Sahara. I mean, my heart hurts for
Speaker 1: that poor game.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 1: So rolling along, this is Kamalin rough Tough Anderson Cooper
Speaker 1: and i'll, i'll, I will explain why I characterized himself
Speaker 1: that way in a moment.
Speaker 2: We'll go with thirty six Michael and roll from there.
Speaker 8: You talk about the bill that Donald Trump quashed that
Speaker 8: was in twenty twenty four. You talk about the bill
Speaker 8: he tried to get passed in twenty twenty one that
Speaker 8: wasn't able to get passed. Twenty twenty two to twenty
Speaker 8: twenty three, there were record border crossings. Your administration took
Speaker 8: a number hundreds of executive actions. It didn't stem the flow.
Speaker 8: Numbers kept going up. Finally, in twenty twenty four, just
Speaker 8: in June, three weeks before the last the first presidential
Speaker 8: debate with Joe Biden, you in executive actions that had
Speaker 8: dramatic impact, really shut down people crossing over Why didn't
Speaker 8: your administration do that in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 9: First of all, you're exactly right, Anderson, And as of today,
Speaker 9: we have cut the flow of immigration by over half.
Speaker 9: In fact, the numbers I saw most recently illegal immigration.
Speaker 8: But with that executive action, why not do it in
Speaker 8: twenty twenty two to twenty.
Speaker 9: Twenty three, because we were working with Congress and hoping
Speaker 9: that actually we could have a long term fix to
Speaker 9: the problem instead of a short term thing.
Speaker 2: You couldn't have done one in the both of the
Speaker 2: same time. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 9: We have to understand that ultimately this problem is going
Speaker 9: to be fixed through congressional action. Congress has the authority
Speaker 9: and the purse. I'd hate to use DC terms, but
Speaker 9: literally they write the checks.
Speaker 1: That is some excellent questioning by Anderson Cooper, who's no
Speaker 1: right wing bond chucker. I mean that was very skillfully done.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, it's funny that they.
Speaker 1: Mocked Brett Bhaer for trying to ask roughly the same questions.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was skillfully done. It is the obvious questions
Speaker 2: that should have been asking every interview she's done. But
Speaker 2: it was still well done. That stuff. You keep talking
Speaker 2: about Trump killing the border bill, Yeah, years after this
Speaker 2: problem had been going on, and then you fixed it
Speaker 2: by going back to some of the Trump policies with
Speaker 2: a stroke of a pen that you could have done
Speaker 2: three years earlier. So why didn't you? There's no good
Speaker 2: answer to that. The problem she's got is there is
Speaker 2: no good answer. I mean, I don't know what I
Speaker 2: would say if I was her. No, she's defenseless.
Speaker 1: There's there isn't an argument other than what she offered,
Speaker 1: which is obfuscation. Thirty nine, Michael, Under Donald Trump, you
Speaker 1: criticized the wall more than fifty times. You called it stupid, useless,
Speaker 1: and a medieval vanity project is a border walls upid.
Speaker 9: Well, let's talk about Donald Trump in that border wall.
Speaker 9: So remember Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it.
Speaker 9: Come on, they didn't. How much of that wall did
Speaker 9: he build? I think the last number I saw I
Speaker 9: was about two percent. And then when it came time
Speaker 9: for him to do a photo op, you know where
Speaker 9: he did it in the part of the wall that
Speaker 9: President Obama built.
Speaker 8: But you're agreed to a bill that would hear more
Speaker 8: like six hundred and fifty million dollars to continue building that, Okay, I.
Speaker 9: I pledge that I'm going to bring forward that bipartisan
Speaker 9: bill to further strengthen and secure our border.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper, again, the right wing bomb chucker is a
Speaker 1: very bright man, and I was definitely getting the feeling
Speaker 1: toward the end that he's like, you know, you can
Speaker 1: treat the voters as stupid, but I'm sitting right here
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to feel like you're treating me as stupid.
Speaker 1: And you could hear the resentment in his voice.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess unless you're a real part is it,
Speaker 2: I don't know how you'd come away from that other
Speaker 2: than she said all that stuff about the wall being
Speaker 2: evil and now she's behind the wall because the walls
Speaker 2: work and we need one, right.

Speaker 2: maybe that's her best bet because there's no good answer
Speaker 2: on a lot of those things. You had policies that
Speaker 2: made inflation go up. You know, what are you going
Speaker 2: to say about that. Your policies allowed gazillions of people
Speaker 2: to come in into the country, and you didn't do
Speaker 2: anything about it until it became such a political liability.
Speaker 2: There's no good answer for that either, So word salad
Speaker 2: seems like the best policy.
Speaker 1: Saw a brief clip of the panel after the town
Speaker 1: hall meeting in which Dana Bash, you'd been trying to
Speaker 1: defend Kamalas said, a lot of people did come here
Speaker 1: to hear what her foreign policy might be, and I'm
Speaker 1: afraid they didn't get anything.
Speaker 2: You know, I want to do discourage away. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: want to do this one since we got a little
Speaker 2: bit of time here, because this topic just drives me nuts.
Speaker 2: Clip thirty two, Michael, So.
Speaker 10: My question is concerning groceries. Grocery prices have gone up
Speaker 10: quite a bit in the last four years, and some
Speaker 10: people blame former President Trump, some people blame President Biden.
Speaker 10: Who would you say is correct and what would you
Speaker 10: do to bring prices down for Americans?
Speaker 9: Thank you, Eric, And you're absolutely right. You know what,
Speaker 9: I know what I think most Americans know it. Price
Speaker 9: of grocery is still too high, and we need to
Speaker 9: address it in a number of ways. One of my
Speaker 9: aspects of doing what we need to do to bring
Speaker 9: down the cost of living for working people in the
Speaker 9: middle class in America is to address the issue of
Speaker 9: grocery prices. Part of my background and how I come
Speaker 9: to it is probably a new approach grounded in a
Speaker 9: lot of my experience and as a former Attorney general
Speaker 9: getting I took on price gouging, price gouging, and part
Speaker 9: of my plan is to create a new approach. That
Speaker 9: is the first time that we will have a national
Speaker 9: ban on price grier go, which is companies taking advantage
Speaker 9: of the desperation and need of the American consumer and
Speaker 9: jacking up prices without any consequence or accountability.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is who's a fascist?
Speaker 1: That is rhetoric by the ignoramus for the ignoramus, and
Speaker 1: of the ignoramus.
Speaker 2: To her credit. Though from what I understand, that polls
Speaker 2: really well because most people don't understand that that is
Speaker 2: all kinds of undoable, illegal, illogical, bad economics everything. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just it's horrible on every no matter how you
Speaker 2: twist it and hold it up to the light, it's
Speaker 2: bad from every angle.
Speaker 1: But it polls pretty well. Yeah, well, that's that's troubling.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a national ban on price price gouging.
Speaker 2: How the f are you going to do that?
Speaker 1: How much it's gound do It'll never happen. Who's gonna happen?
Speaker 2: In no form? Who's but even if you could, even
Speaker 2: if you get together through Congress and the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: let you and everything like that, who's gonna set the
Speaker 2: price of bacon? And how is that gonna play out?
Speaker 2: All the way down to the farmer with the pig.
Speaker 2: Explain that to me. It's just since childish, it's laughable. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get that on. God it, dang it.
Speaker 2: And she's so bad at she's even bad at her
Speaker 2: own stuff. She should have jumped on it right away.
Speaker 2: But she always has like forty five seconds of meandering words.
Speaker 2: He can't even tell what she's talking about. She should
Speaker 2: have if that's your policy, that's one thing Trump is
Speaker 2: good at. She'd have jumped on it right away. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you how I'm gonna deal with it. We're gonna
Speaker 2: make a law against price gouging nationwide. Instead.
Speaker 1: Second career as a prosecutor, I've taken on in a
Speaker 1: unique way.
Speaker 2: I've taken on the challenges.
Speaker 1: And you know, at this point, the whole we agree
Speaker 1: grocery prices are too high.
Speaker 2: At this point, who.
Speaker 1: Needs the the hand holding the by the It's like
Speaker 1: calling one of those phone trees in India trying to
Speaker 1: get tech support for your malfunctioning TV. The whole first,
Speaker 1: express sympathy with the situation. Nobody needs to hear somebody
Speaker 1: say yes, I agree, grocery prices are high. We're way
Speaker 1: past that sister. Anyway, boy, what a load of crap
Speaker 1: that was.
Speaker 2: I like when you say stuff like that, honey, stuff
Speaker 2: like what I tell it? Like it is all right?
Speaker 2: This is this is speaking of gibberish.
Speaker 1: This is again right wing bomb chucking inquisitor Anderson Cooper
Speaker 1: asking Kamala about why she doesn't have any damn policies
Speaker 1: forty two Michael.
Speaker 9: So, I take my role and responsibility, okay, as an
Speaker 9: elected leader, very seriously, and I know the impact it
Speaker 9: has on so many people I may never meet, and
Speaker 9: that is why I engage and bring folks around. So
Speaker 9: I may not be quick to have the answer as
Speaker 9: soon as you ask it about a specific policy issue
Speaker 9: sometimes because I'm going to want to research it. I'm
Speaker 9: going to want to study it.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a.
Speaker 9: Nerd sometimes, I confess, And some might call that a weakness,
Speaker 9: especially if you're you know, in an interview or just
Speaker 9: off you know so much with being asked a certain
Speaker 9: question and you expect to have the right answer right away.
Speaker 9: But that's how I that's how I work.
Speaker 2: That is hilarious. That is, that is the funniest answer
Speaker 2: by a my a major presidential candidate to that sort
Speaker 2: of question I've ever heard. I mean, that is hilarious. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, As I said earlier, you're not applying to medical school.
Speaker 1: You're applying to be the chief surgeon of the United
Speaker 1: States of America. I just asked you, you know, what's
Speaker 1: your experience in stomach cancer and you say, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I got to look into it. I guess. Come on,
Speaker 2: we're twow, we're twelve days out, and when you're asked
Speaker 2: about your economic policy, your border policy, or foreign policy
Speaker 2: or whatever, I am kind of a nerd. I need
Speaker 2: to study it, you know. I like to relate to
Speaker 2: the person who asks the question. An Yet I'm not
Speaker 2: the sort of person that's going to come up with
Speaker 2: an answer just on the spot. Okay, well on the spot,
Speaker 2: like months into a presidential campaign and you've been vice
Speaker 2: president for three years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, we're not This is not some sort of
Speaker 1: gotcha question, who's the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe? We're asking you, what,
Speaker 1: in general is your view of American power around the world.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of a nerd. I'd have to ask people.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of a nerd sometimes, And like I said earlier,
Speaker 4: to me, this is the final word on why she
Speaker 4: didn't do many interviews, why they don't put her out
Speaker 4: that much.
Speaker 2: She's horrible. Dummy, she's horrible as a candidate.
Speaker 1: I think she's a dummy, not in terms of being stupid,
Speaker 1: although you know, I'm not denying that she's a dummy,
Speaker 1: in terms of she is a inanimate object that others
Speaker 1: speak through white.
Speaker 2: Pumpet, like a mannequin sitting on your knee, A dummy,
Speaker 2: a ventral dummy.
Speaker 1: Okay, dummy, dummy. Dummy is the word. It's a dummy.
Speaker 1: She's a dummy.
Speaker 2: I have a different word for dummy, like you're not
Speaker 2: very smart and dummy, like sits on your lap and
Speaker 2: you have a string in his mouth.
Speaker 1: No, they're both the same word. That was my point.
Speaker 1: It's the two meanings of that word.
Speaker 2: Dummy, so she's both of them. Yes, she's a dummy, dummy, dummy,
Speaker 2: she's not a very bright dummy, or she's a dummy mannequin,
Speaker 2: however you want to phrase, yes, exactly, we're jogging past
Speaker 2: each other. Stay with us. I'm kind of a nerd.
Speaker 11: Sometimes Paul shows Trump with a slim lead over Harris
Speaker 11: with Arab Americans. Harris would attempt to speak directly to
Speaker 11: those voters, but she hasn't yet nailed the accent.
Speaker 1: A comment on her tendency to pander to audiences by
Speaker 1: assuming their regional accent back to you.
Speaker 2: Apparently this was a thing back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I remember it or not. The
Speaker 2: Flamingo challenge to determine your health situation. But there's yet
Speaker 2: another study that has come out to confirm that how
Speaker 2: old is your body? Actually there's a test as hell's
Speaker 2: how this test can tell your biological age in thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: It's the Flamingo challenge, is what they used to call it,
Speaker 2: but they've added a few more things to it, walking
Speaker 2: and balanced, test your handgrip and knee strength. I don't
Speaker 2: know I test my knee strength. Eugh, I just need you.
Speaker 2: But the main thing is to stand on one foot
Speaker 2: far as long as you can your non dominant leg.
Speaker 2: You stand on your non dominant foot as long as
Speaker 2: you could. I just did it during the commercials. I
Speaker 2: did about a minute or so before the commercials were over.
Speaker 2: I think I could do it. I don't know for hour.
Speaker 2: I don't know how long I could do it, But anyway,
Speaker 2: did you know your your muscle mass decreases eight percent
Speaker 2: per decade starting at thirty. I did know that if
Speaker 2: you're over thirty, you've lost muscle mass sid well faster
Speaker 2: clip than you would like. Anyway, if you want just
Speaker 2: a basic look at it. In the Flamingo Challenge, middle
Speaker 2: aged people who cannot balance on one foot their non
Speaker 2: dominant foot for ten seconds faced a dramatically higher risk
Speaker 2: of early death. Ten seconds is not very long. Wow,
Speaker 2: I can do it. Wow a long time. My balance
Speaker 2: isn't great, but I've never but yeah, one point about
Speaker 2: it is I've all always found it difficult to stand
Speaker 2: on one leg. Like even when I was in high school,
Speaker 2: if you had to stand on one leg, I couldn't
Speaker 2: do it. I was a little wobbly, Yes, Katie, And
Speaker 2: that for ten seconds you're you're hammered. Well, well there's
Speaker 2: that officer. Yes, I don't know if you're supposed to
Speaker 2: be sober and yeah, and you also are supposed to
Speaker 2: say the alphabet backwards is part of this. There's no
Speaker 2: chance we're all standing with.
Speaker 1: Famingo challenge was the Flamingo Challenges. When you jump into
Speaker 1: the zoo's enclosure with a sledgehammer, and well it's not
Speaker 1: pretty from there. So if you'd like it broken, the
Speaker 1: terrible thing to say, and I retract it, if you'd
Speaker 1: like it broken.
Speaker 2: Down by age, if you're under forty, you should be
Speaker 2: able to do it continuously for forty three seconds, which
Speaker 2: which I can do if you have to.
Speaker 1: Like lift my other leg or stick my hands out
Speaker 1: or am I doing like curls at the same time.
Speaker 2: And your arms are supposed to be straight out to
Speaker 2: the side.
Speaker 1: Oh really according to the bill and I'm reading, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh that makes it easier, doesn't it does it? I'm
Speaker 1: old with terrible joints and this is effortless.
Speaker 2: Does that make it easier or harder to put your
Speaker 2: arms out? It seems like it makes it easier. I
Speaker 2: don't not as much difference. So you it to be
Speaker 2: on one leg anyway, So let me get to it. Yes,
Speaker 2: you're doin like, yeah, you're the leg. You don't kick
Speaker 2: field goals with how you doing my and I'm dead
Speaker 2: you you went over in like three seconds? Oh great, Scott?
Speaker 1: Whoa.
Speaker 2: If you're in your forties like Michael Angelo, you should
Speaker 2: be able to do it for forty seconds. In your fifties,
Speaker 2: thirty seven seconds you get up. If you're eighty or older,
Speaker 2: aim for a little over five seconds. My parents will
Speaker 2: probably be listening and do this as they hear to
Speaker 2: hear the show. A little over five seconds, Dad, Mom,
Speaker 2: if you can do it. And I remember when we
Speaker 2: mentioned the stand up Sit Down challenge. Remember that one.
Speaker 2: You sit on the edge of a chair with your
Speaker 2: arms folded over your chest, and you stand up to
Speaker 2: sit down as many times you can. Sixty minutes. Another
Speaker 2: really good one to figure out how early you're going
Speaker 2: to die.
Speaker 1: Sixty Yeah, sixty minutes. I'd be very tired at the
Speaker 1: end of.
Speaker 2: That, I'd give I'd go I just sit there and
Speaker 2: watch TV. Right. I like these little tests though, to
Speaker 2: see if you know, like if you're really off track
Speaker 2: or not, like a real quick how am I doing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I would agree. I would agree.
Speaker 1: It's good because you can slide further than you thought
Speaker 1: you had if you're not careful.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We do four hours of this every day. If
Speaker 2: you missed hour, get the podcast Armstrong and get You
Speaker 2: on demand Armstrong and Getty
