00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: You're a dimly let room deep with on the bowels

5
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Hey y'all, today Halloween,

6
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Your los

7
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: angele listen, dudors, honorary honorary general manager. Garbage. That's you,

8
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: your garbage. Oh wow, we're still talking about that. Hell yes, hell, yes,

9
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. Awesome, greatest gaff in the history

10
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: of politics in I am ho, I am h O.

11
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: I love when you're talking online textees, that's right. And

12
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: nacronyms or whatever you call that acronyms, that's funny. I

13
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: finally went and got some tense steaks to stake down

14
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: my giant inflatable jack lantern in the front lawn because

15
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: it kept blowing down the street and the neighbors seemed

16
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: to be horrified by this. So I went and got

17
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: some tent steaks. I got that thing nailed down so

18
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: it shouldn't go anywhere, no matter how windy it gets.

19
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Katie, I feel like you impacted my life

20
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: somehow because I came home from the gym yesterday and

21
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: my inflatable Jack o' lantern was at the end of

22
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: my Drivewax.

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens.

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: I blame you.

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Those inflatable stakes very susceptible to wind apparently. Let's see,

26
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: you've seen it in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade where

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Snoopy gets out of control and hoists some people to

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: their death. Dangerous exactly. So I'm ready for Halloween. I've

29
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: got full sized candy bars. I eat way too many

30
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: of the bite sized candy bars last night. Man, if

31
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: you have bags of those around there, I mean, good

32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: for you if you're the sort of person that can

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: walk by them. But I'm not. That's funny. My bride

34
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: and I were walking our dog and reminiscing about when

35
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: Halloween meant something to us as young parents and living

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: in a different neighborhood and all, and she said, boy,

37
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: but I don't miss having that candy left home. Oh,

38
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: no kidding. So watching the World series last night, and

39
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: you know every time I go by it, tell it's

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: not even a full bite of a Snickers. I mean,

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: come on, it's like a fimble full of Snickers. It's

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna got hurt to pop one of those in my mouth. Sure,

43
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: what is that twelve calories? Pay thirty of those later. Oh,

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: feel so good. I felt better than the Yankees did

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: after the worst inning in the history of the World

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Series by a team, The New York Yankees inning five

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: of Game five of the World Series will be remembered

48
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: forever by baseball fans. Yeah, I felt like I was

49
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: watching Little League again, speaking of my younger days. It

50
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: was they if you weren't watching the game, the Yankees

51
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: committed no less than three horrific physical endormenttal errors and

52
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: let the Dodgers back from a five hotes. Yeah. That

53
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: a sign is you do that you deserve to lose,

54
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: you do. The headline is the inning started five nothing Yankees.

55
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: The inning ended five to five, all five unearned runs,

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Oh, it was incredible. Garrett called a

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: pitcher who contributed to the stupidity by the way committing

58
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: one of the more egregious mental errors in the history

59
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: of the World Series. He had to be homicidal. Yeah,

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: at the end of that to uh. I won't belabor

61
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: this for you non sports fans, but as I read

62
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: somebody in the New York Post last night, one rider

63
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: said it would have been much less humiliating to lose

64
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: in a sweep the night before. Much less humiliating. Oh wow,

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: that's a take. Here's another take, and then we'll move on.

66
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Since the Japanese superstar failed to materialize in the World Series,

67
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: now I call him no show. Hey o Tani. Wow

68
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, he was a non factor

69
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the biggest star in all baseball. So, as I texted

70
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: somebody last night, it's nice to see a plucky little

71
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: team that has one hundred million. Their payroll is one

72
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: hundred million more than the league average. The one hundred

73
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: million more than the league average under dugs, they were

74
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: playing against the team with even a higher payroll, so

75
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: it didn't really matter of the two teams. I mean,

76
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: this is just kind of interesting for pro sports. Six

77
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: of the ten baseball players in the world were on

78
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: the field last night, the highest paid best statistically. Oh

79
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: I see, okay, Yeah, they bought all the best players.

80
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, And so you know that's what Yankees and

81
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: Dodgers have always done. But just you know, it sucks

82
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: if you're like a Royals fan or an A's fan,

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: or a Brewers fan or anything else trying to get

84
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a sniff of anything. How do we feel about Donald

85
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: Trump donning the orange vest getting into them? Dumb trick?

86
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: Maybe the greatest pr move in the final week of

87
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: a campaign ever. It is one of the most effective

88
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: fun capitalizations on a gaff. I have ever seen Joe

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Biden that ahead a kef care handed his opponents not

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: a hammer to hit him with, but a machine gun

91
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: of a rhetorical opportunity. Whether the senile old fellow deserves

92
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: to be kicked for it or not, it was one

93
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: of the greatest gaffes in the history of presidential politics.

94
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: And the Trump campaign is going nuts with the The

95
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: only garbage I see is his followers a clip we

96
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: need to hear fifty times today. By the way, Uh yeah,

97
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: let's make sure we have that at our fingertips. But

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: I know you're busy, Michael, but we got to have

99
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the whole Biden calling people trash thing, the short one

100
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: ready to go all time, thousand times a day, including now,

101
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: if we happen to have it. It's these that we

102
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: hold these truths to be self evidence of the twenty

103
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: first century. There's something or Puerto Rico where I'm in

104
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: my home state of Delaware.

105
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see

106
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 3: flowed down there is his supporters.

107
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: So I missed this yesterday. We missed this yesterday on

108
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the show. So Tim Walls before they even got to

109
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: Kamala was on ABC this week with George Stephanopoulos, and

110
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: we played that clip. But I'm so used to the

111
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: mainstream media with this bias between Republicans and Democrats. When

112
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: there's a bad thing on the Republican side, for instance,

113
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Sunday night in Madison Square Garden, it's the horrible thing

114
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: that someone said about Puerto Ricans. When a Democrat says

115
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: something bad, it is Republicans pounce on this thing always,

116
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: once you become aware of it. It's omnipresent. And so

117
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: George Stephanoppolis asks it, says to Tim Walls, Republicans are

118
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: already trying to utilize the president's comments. It was a

119
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: disruption of Kamala's message, wasn't it. And then Tim Walls

120
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: gets to restate their message as opposed to that was

121
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: a hateful thing to say. Tell me how you don't

122
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: hate all Puerto Ricans and put them in a difficult situation.

123
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Why do you hate all Puerto Ricans? You hating Nazi

124
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: like they did with every Trump surrogate who had to

125
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: defend that comment. For Democrats, it was, this is an

126
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: interruption of your message of hope and justice and everything wonderful.

127
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: Let's get back to that. It's just it's incredible. I mean,

128
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the level of bias that I don't even think they

129
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: know they do. It's just so ingreat. Like I said,

130
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I missed it yesterday because I'm so used to it.

131
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm just so used to the double standard. Yeah, yeah, well,

132
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: may they fail. May they continue to see declining ratings

133
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: and revenue and go away forever. I think both scandals

134
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: are stupid, but they do exist, and they're being treated

135
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: completely differently by the media. Of course, we should start

136
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: the show officially just to give you a little flavor

137
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: of how Trump handled this yesterday. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's

138
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, Halloween. It's our

139
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: special Halloween show, regular show with occasionally some Halloween music

140
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: and probably me eating Snickers bars during commercial breaks. Oh,

141
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: this is what did I say? Halloween the thirty first year,

142
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. We are armstrong and getting we approve

143
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: of this program. All right, let's begin booting rhetorical fly

144
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: balls precisely according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we

145
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: go at mark as they get me my jacket.

146
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: But if you did, you know it actually makes you

147
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: look thinner, I said, got me, I said I want

148
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: to wear it on stage.

149
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: When they said I looked thinner, I said, in that case,

150
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: I'll wear an I'm set.

151
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 4: I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go,

152
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: I may go in this They said that that was

153
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: my that was the word.

154
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: That was the key. So you look thinner. So Trump

155
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: did like an entire comedy routine around his orange dump

156
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: truck vest or a garbage truck vest that he wore

157
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: last night. And it was really good. I mean, it

158
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: was Trump at his best right. They had to make

159
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: America great again dump truck referring, of course, to the

160
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: Biden gaff calling his supporter's garbage or did he the

161
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: apostrophe heard around the world? But man, they made Hay

162
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: with it quick and brilliantly. You know what's interesting, I

163
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: heard a podcast talking about this the other day. They

164
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: turned garbage into gold. Jackage out there is his supporters.

165
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm clicking today. Everybody stay tuned. Who knows what you're

166
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna hear? Turn no show. Hey, Atana the garbage and

167
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: I just turning garbage into gold. You are rolling. I

168
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: heard some strategists talking the other day, like people who

169
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: have worked on presidential campaigns before, talking about how you

170
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: never put your candidate in the apron, You never put

171
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: them in the hat, you never want to put them

172
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: into whatever, because they always end up looking ridiculous. The

173
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: most famous one, if you're old enough to remember it,

174
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: is Michael Ducaccus in the tank. He puts on the

175
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: tank helmet, he gets in the tank and for whatever reason,

176
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: he looked ridiculous and they thought it was a campaign killer.

177
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: So especially ever since then, they never put a candidate

178
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: in an apron or something like that. For whatever reason,

179
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Trump puts on the McDonald's apron and it's it's perfectly fine.

180
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's a combination of funny and cool. Same

181
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: thing with the dump truck or him doing the rally

182
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: last night in the best you could see For many, many,

183
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: many candidates who weren't TV stars their whole life. He

184
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: was the host of the number one TV show in

185
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: America for years. I mean, he's got, you know, a

186
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: talent for this that makes a difference. But you can

187
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: imagine so many candidates trying to wear the garbage truck

188
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: vest at the rally and it coming off as so lappable.

189
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: People talk about it for decades. Right. A couple of things.

190
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Number One, he's got the undercover CEO thing going. It's

191
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: just fun to see a rich real estate developer wearing

192
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: the garb of the working man, working woman, et cetera.

193
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: And and this is you cannot you cannot teach this.

194
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: He has fun with it without disrespecting the people who

195
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: do that for a living for a minute. The fun

196
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: is at his expense. Us makes me look thinner, or

197
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, the whole prize untouched by human hands. I mean,

198
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: it's never about disparaging the workers. I don't know, but

199
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: I was watching his whole comedy routine we'll play more

200
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: of it later at the rally last night, and I thought,

201
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: I know, there's a big chunk of America that hates this,

202
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: but this is really really good. I mean, it just

203
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: makes me insane and I supported DeSantis, but he has

204
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: an incredible gift for connecting with working people that we

205
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: may never see again. Oh man, it was something, Yes, Michael,

206
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: I always go back.

207
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: People want to be entertained, not informed, and this will

208
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: entertain a lot of people and get votes.

209
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of truth to that, Michael. I hate

210
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: for that to be true, especially when it comes to

211
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: debates and stuff like that. I don't want that to

212
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: be true, but it is. How does mailbag look? Oh,

213
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: it's terrific. One of my favorite notes of the last

214
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: six months. What are we five days out? Now? Our

215
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.

216
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I just read the strategy. It's all about fifty three percent,

217
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: fifty three percent, fifty three percent. Kamala Harris can get

218
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: three percent? All right. If Kamala can get fifty three

219
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: percent turnout among women, I guess she can't be beaten. Mathematically.

220
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: It's impossible. And that's so that's what they're trying to drive.

221
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: That's what the commercials about. HUSB. Don't you don't have

222
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: to vote that way just because your mean husband makes

223
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: you go in the booth and then lie to him.

224
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: You can do it that sort of thing.

225
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 5: Okay, ay, right, I requested yesterday after Dad, I think

226
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 5: it was off the air, I said, can I be

227
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 5: put pleased into a medically induced coma and woken up

228
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 5: on Wednesday?

229
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: Just tell me what happened, including we don't know yet.

230
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: That's fine, I just I can't take another minute of this.

231
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, and I

232
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: think that sentiment is shared by many many Americans. Can

233
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: we get this? Oh please? This is an odd moment,

234
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: the freedom loving quote of the day. In that D said, guys, Joe,

235
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: yesterday you dropped the truth grenade that resonated with me,

236
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: which I'm paraphrasing and is paraphering paraphrasing of it. Something

237
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: of the effect of well, one of the feelings of

238
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: democracy is you can't hurt people's feelings. I will remember,

239
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about the high cost of childcare, and we

240
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: can't talk about the skyrocketing rate of single parenthood, specifically

241
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: women who decide to have a kid without a marriage

242
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: or stable relationship, and then they find themselves in a

243
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: situation where they need childcare but their job maybe doesn't

244
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: pay enough. And that's fine, we can talk about that

245
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: is a body politic, but to not recognize why it's

246
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: such a crisis now because the rearranging of the American

247
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: families just you can't talk about that because people don't

248
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: want to hear it anyway. Paraphrasing myself, I worked on

249
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: this for a couple of minutes. Now, this is the

250
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: freedom of quote of the day for me, Joe getting

251
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: The great weakness of democracy is that it depends in

252
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: large part on an electorate that can handle the truth.

253
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: M hmm.

254
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, I collect these. I'm going to write me

255
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: under that the saying that wherever it came from is

256
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: clearly true, is just one thousand percent true. The hard

257
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: times make tough people. Tough people make good times. Good

258
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: times make weak people. Yeah, and weak people make weak times.

259
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: That is one thousand percent true. And we're in that

260
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: pendulum swing and unfortunately we're really making for hard times.

261
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Is usually phrased, Yeah, Yeah, we're in the hard times

262
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: being made by soft people phase. And it's frustrating. If

263
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: you're you can recognize it. Yeah, Mailbag, our email address

264
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: is mail Bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. I'm

265
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: not sure there's anything that can be done about it.

266
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: It's is unavoidable to sunrise, sunset, and the ripening of fruit. Yeah, anyway,

267
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: this note from Aaron uh, somebody may have suggested that

268
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: some of the reaction to various gaffes in the late

269
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: stage of the campaign is either fake or people with

270
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: their panties wanted and Aaron Rice handies aren't watted. I

271
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: was just calculating my taxes when that story dropped about

272
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: what Biden said. Now, I don't appreciate a coffin case

273
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: head of the government calling one hundred and fifty million

274
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: people garbage when we're paying eighteen or more percent forty

275
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: five grand a year of our combined income to a

276
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: government that calls us trash, because we don't want our

277
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: children taught by some drag queen that they were born

278
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: in the wrong body and that bacon is unaffordable. Subway

279
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: sanders cost fifteen dollars in the Secretary of Health looks

280
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: like Rick Moratus on estrogen. Look when they say stuff

281
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: like that, I start to hear the menacing sound of

282
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: fifes and drums in my head. Wow, oh there you go, baby,

283
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: huh three. I'm not calling anybody, I'm calling that a

284
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: great email. You got one of those angry maga people

285
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: that I hear so much about.

286
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: The only garbage I see floating down there is just supporters.

287
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got more on why. He probably said that

288
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: from a prominent Democratic strategist coming up that I congratulate

289
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: them for being honest. We're almost out of time. What

290
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: the heck? John m and San Diego sent this Happy Halloween.

291
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Now our who fears razor blades and drugs and their

292
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: kids hallowing candy? It submits something possibly worse. My friends

293
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: sent me this picture. It appears to be super high

294
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: end chocolates wrapped in foil with a little sticker on it.

295
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: But what this friend does is wraps Brussels sprouts to

296
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: look like candy. No, remember you got to get the

297
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: nerds gummy clusters. It's the most popular candy in America,

298
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the most delicious candy in America, according to the Wall

299
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: Street Journal, Get those for your picks. Brussels sproutch.

300
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: President Biden and First Lady Doctor Jill Biden hosted a

301
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 6: Hallo Read event today at the White House, which included

302
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 6: a Spooky Storytime corner. Incidentally, spooky story time is just

303
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 6: what they call it anytime President Biden makes unscripted remarks,

304
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 6: hooray everybody.

305
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to write this down. So how about

306
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: him sticking all the baby's feet in his mouth? Have

307
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: you seen that montage? I haven't. Oh so creepy for

308
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: babies now, it's it's a perfectly nice grandpa sort of

309
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: thing to do with their own grandkid. Oh yeah, but

310
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: intimate thing. But an old stranger baby after baby putting

311
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: their bare feet in his mouth is weird. I think.

312
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought the video was weird, and that,

313
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: by the way, not a real doctor. She was dressed

314
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: as a panda, which is kind of funny. Joe Biden,

315
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: we got a text that just said I'm nonplussed, which

316
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: is a word I need to use more often. Non

317
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: plus excellent of a person surprised and confused so much

318
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: that they're unsure. I'll react. There you go. That's what

319
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: we got. So I'm angry about well, I don't know

320
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: if I'm angry. Yeah, I'm angry, and I apologize if

321
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: you're tired of hearing me say this, because I've been

322
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: saying it now for three years, but it still amazes me.

323
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: Here's a headline in the New York Times, their latest

324
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: polling on people's attitudes about the economy, which is what

325
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: the number two issue in America behind immigration. Right now,

326
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: inflation is basically back to normal. Why do voters still

327
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: feel blah, wow, wow, that is just profoundly ignorant. I

328
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: don't understand. I couldn't believe that reporters didn't get this

329
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the conversation. I don't even know.

330
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm nonplussed about how they can still not get this.

331
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: Let me read the opening paragraph from the New York

332
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Times economic person. Grocery inflation has been cooling sharply, but

333
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Tamra Flamer twenty seven, she hasn't noticed. What she knows

334
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: is that paper plates and meat remained more expensive than

335
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: they were a few years ago. Yes, you freaking morons.

336
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: You don't notice a deep increase in the increase of prices.

337
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: It would be impossible. Nobody could do of the rate. Yes,

338
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: nobody would notice a slowing of the rate of inflation.

339
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: It's impossible to notice. It's just a it's a dumb concept. Yeah,

340
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it goes on. Voters say they are very

341
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: focused on the economy as they head the polls, yet

342
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: surveys suggest they feel relatively glum about its recent track record.

343
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: The lingering pessimism is something of a puzzle, says The

344
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: New York Times. Is it? Is it? Really? Do you

345
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: know a single normal human being? You must not, or

346
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: you would hear people say I went to Wendy's last

347
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: night and it cost sixty bucks for me and the kids.

348
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: Or I filled up with gas yesterday. I don't know

349
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: how people do it. Or let me stop you there, Jim,

350
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: let me stop you there. Now Wendy's went from fifty

351
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: two dollars to sixty dollars in the course of seventeen months.

352
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Now it's only gone from sixty to sixty two dollars

353
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: in the course of the last nine months. So as

354
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: you can see, inflation is cooling a Jamner Hamburger right

355
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: in your face. If you tried that to somebody. What

356
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: did band these people? Where do they live? Mars? I

357
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: don't know. And like I said, do you not have

358
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: a single normal friend? Not one in your circle? Whoever

359
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: walks in and you know, at a party and says man,

360
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: I stopped by the liquor store. I got this bottle

361
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: of wine. It used to be eight bucks, now it's fifteen.

362
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. That's reality for everyone, but people

363
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: who write economics stuff, it's not. There's more on this.

364
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: The lingering pessimism is something of a puzzle, which makes

365
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: you a moron. The job market has been chugging along,

366
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: overall growth has been healthy, and inflation is back to normal.

367
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: It says here. How is that a puzzle? Things cost more,

368
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: way more than they did not very long ago. Period,

369
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: you morons, And let me speak for thousands and thousands

370
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: of people listening right now. The job market is hot. Okay,

371
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: I've still got one job, or I used to have one.

372
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: I still have one, and my money, my wages have

373
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: not kept up with inflation, not even close. So and

374
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: then I'll shut up about this because it's you know,

375
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm belaboring the point, but I just it's I actually

376
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: can't believe it. I find it difficult to believe that

377
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: the journalists who cover the economy are still saying this

378
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: crap five days out from a presidential election that Trump

379
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: is set to win, maybe mainly because of the price

380
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: of stuff, and they don't get it. I don't understand

381
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: inflation's back to normal. God, you're so dumb. I don't

382
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: even know where to start with you? Here you are

383
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: belaboring the point which points to arise in the belaboring

384
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: statistics any like that, the labor market. You just can't

385
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: be stopped today with your workplay anyway. You just a

386
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: non stop fountain wordplay like a Nigo Montoya over here

387
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: of my words. Yes, I don't know what you call

388
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: the subheadline halfway through an article that's in bold or

389
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: what what do you call those things? But anyway, it

390
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: says here consumers may focus more on price levels than

391
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: price changes. Okay, al right, well that's that's correct. Yes, yes,

392
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: it is correct and obvious to anyone over the age

393
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: of five. Yes, good look, I can't. I'm reeling from

394
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: that one. You know, I thought it was the beating

395
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: was about over, and you caught me right in the

396
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: jyms with that, I mentioning consumers worry more about fing

397
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: prices than the rate of efing change, which they can't

398
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: observe day to day because they're busy with they're real lives.

399
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: Oh it's so funny. So I mentioned as a target.

400
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: The other day, I get my normal allotment of stuff

401
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: and it's two one hundred dollars. This is the first

402
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: time it's ever open over to dollars, and I said

403
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to the guy, two hundred dollars. He said, yeah, I

404
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: know everybody reacts that way. And I should have said

405
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: to the guy, Hey, whoa whoa, whoa whoa. Well, back off, buddy.

406
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: The rate of change is lower, all right. The percentage

407
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: increases lower than it was before, so you take it

408
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: down a notch. I guess I should be happy that

409
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: it's two hundred dollars because it's totally gone up two

410
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: percent in the last month, as opposed to the you know,

411
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: between three and nine percent for the previous three years.

412
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: I think that that that illustrates this case so beautifully.

413
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be absurdest humor for you to

414
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: say that to the cashier. And yet that is essentially

415
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: the inverse of what they're claiming with the straight face

416
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: in the New York Times. Oh, speaking of which, I'm

417
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: so glad you brought this up, because I've been sitting

418
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: on this for a while. Dave in Baltimore, I think, yeah,

419
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: Dave and Baltimore sent us this and the title of

420
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: the New York Times article speaking of the Old Gray Lady,

421
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: is which appears to be a senilist Joe Biden, when

422
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: it writes about economics, is wages heaven outpaced? I'm sorry,

423
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: let me do this again. The words are important. Wages

424
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: have outpaced inflation, but not for everyone. And here is

425
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: one of my favorite couple of sentences in the history

426
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: of my reading newspapers. The bottom line, most American workers

427
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: are probably making more money today adjusted for inflation than

428
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: they were in twenty nineteen, but not all have seen

429
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: their pay keep up with their own cost of living,

430
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: and many, perhaps most, are lagging behind where they would

431
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: be if pre pandemic trends had continued unabated. These complications

432
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: may help explain why so many Americans believe they have

433
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: fallen behind. They've fallen behind. Wow. The New York Times

434
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: is saying most Americans are making more money today adjusted

435
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: for inflation than they were pre pandemic. I have seen

436
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: that statistic nowhere. No, I don't see how that's possible.

437
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: They're wrong on the fact. But the second part, which

438
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: I've read a couple of times so I will parse

439
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: for you, is claiming that in spite of that fact,

440
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: that y'all and we are making more money adjusted for inflation.

441
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: Bacon is easier to buy for us than it was

442
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: pre pandemic. We're going out to eat and spending less

443
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: relative to our incomes than we were a while ago.

444
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: But in spite of that, because we have somehow projected

445
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: in our heads where we would be twenty nineteen to

446
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four if the inflation hadn't been so high

447
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: for several years, we're coming up with some sort of

448
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: fanciful Yes, bacon is easily affordable right now, but it

449
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: would be even more easily affordable if not for the

450
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: inflation of twenty twenty one through twenty twenty four. And

451
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, back to your question, do you know

452
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: any human beings have you spoken with them? That is?

453
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: That is blindness that goes beyond onto galling and is

454
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: absolutely in the realm of amazing, And I would like

455
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: to hear scientists explain it. Here's a director of consumer

456
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: surveys at the University of Michigan in the same New

457
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: York Times article. It's not that consumers have lost touch

458
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: with reality. It's just at high prices continue to weigh

459
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: down their personal finances. Thank you for Adam, you're a professor.

460
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're a university professor because none of us

461
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: regular people could figure that out at all. And then

462
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: they beIN of medicine at the University of Michigan said,

463
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: don't jam sharp objects into your eye. Where was your

464
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: article from your nonsensical article? New York Times, New York Times. Yeah,

465
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: so this says wages have climbed faster than prices for

466
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: many consumers. Okay, how many? Not very I don't know

467
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: anybody who got enough of a raise over the last

468
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: several years to put them even even, let alone ahead.

469
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody. Yeah, this is the first time

470
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: I've ever heard anybody that, And it's a couple of

471
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: times in the New York Times when you had to

472
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: that's the narrative. Wouldn't you had to have gotten like

473
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: a twenty percent race since twenty nineteen to keep up

474
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: with the overall prices stuff? That's crazy. Yeah, I mean

475
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: we could go on, because they quote a couple of

476
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: more Harvard economists who study how people experience inflation. You

477
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: need you all, all of you, all, all y'all, as

478
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: they say in the South, all y'all need to hang

479
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: around any normal human beings, go down to your corner

480
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: bar and have a conversation with some people, or turn

481
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: to someone at a you know, a high school basketball game.

482
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: Talk to any normal human being. All right, somebody who

483
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: doesn't work for the New York Times live in Manhattan,

484
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: is a childish catwoman with an advanced degree. And see

485
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: what they think about prices. I tell you what, If

486
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: you can bag this rare game, it would be rarer

487
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: than having a panda head on your wall. Okay, wow,

488
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: you you find me walk into your house and you

489
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: got a panda head on your wall? Do I pretend

490
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't see it? Right? I say, Hey, Jim, I

491
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: can't help, but notice that I'm I'm wondering what others

492
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: that person's up to. I mean, was that they'll do anything?

493
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: Was that Penda live? At one point? This is rarer game. Still,

494
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: you go down to the corner bar to this the

495
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: soccer game, waiting for kids in line at school, and

496
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: you find the person who says, in response to my god,

497
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: prices are so high. It's still shocking. They say, yes,

498
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: but the rate of increase has slowed, and that's what's important.

499
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: You bag that rare game, and I will salute you

500
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: a mighty hunter. Or the person who reacts with Yeah,

501
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: but my wages are up even more than inflation, so

502
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm happy. Oh please, that's like an albino panda head.

503
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, to forget it. You're never gonna find one

504
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: much of miss killing with six toes on each boot.

505
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's rare. That's the point. We've got Katie.

506
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: We've got Kate. These headlines on the way stay here.

507

Speaker 1: So this is the Eagles, witchy woman. It's Halloween. We're

508
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: trying to get a theme going here. People. We have

509
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: talking about scary. We have some witch legs stuck in

510
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: our bushes. Looks like a witch fell in the bushes

511
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: or dove in the bushes or something like that. I

512
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: guess that's just an elderly woman with the curious taste

513
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: and stockings. Yes, I love those.

514
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: Those witch legs are the ones that are just flown

515
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,200

518
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: of a new kind of drone that does not have

519
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: propellers and a loud engine. It it is a bird.

520
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: It looks exactly like a red tailed hawk or a

521
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: or a you know, a similar raptor like a falcon

522
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: maybe and it flaps its wings to fly. Oly crap.

523
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: If it flies, it's spine right, exactly like the owns.

524
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: That's right. Anyway, We'll post this at Armstrong and geddy

00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,600

00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: Biden's gaps complicate Harris's final stretch and is worrying Democratic insiders.

535
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: It's a gaff if he says it, If Trump or

536
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: anyone says it on their side, it's their stated position

537
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: and their deep core belief right right that we will

538
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: hold them too.

545
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: before election day. Yeah, I think early voting in Saturday

546
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,200

547

552
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,080

553
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: by some scumback group or another from Jordan. A few

554
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,800

Speaker 1: a bus on fire in the picture, big giant bus.

562
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: You got to set a city bus on fire. If

563
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: your team wins, it's just part of the deal, or

564
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: if they lose. I'm exactly, I'm being sarcastic. Of course,

565
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: I've never understood why we put up with this for

566
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: a second, and why we don't have the harshest of

567
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: physical or monetary penalties for this, to where nobody would

568
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: even dare to set a bus on fire because their

569
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: team wins that the taxpayers then have to pay for. Yeah,

570
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: we will address this more thoroughly. Next hour. We have reports,

571

Speaker 3: A chicken at White House Halloween party.

577
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Not sure how the kids costume matters, but is it

578
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: because the kid was dressed as a chicken. There's some

579
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: belief that the dementia ridden old man was hungry and

580
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: thought that it was a meal fla bat. I just

581

587
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: This inflatable pumpkin is huge, and the video the thing

588
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: just bounces over and lands on his head.

589
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: Don't disappointing. They don't teach you that what to do

590
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:29,120

Speaker 2: One kid goes a bill for thirty five trillion dollars.

595
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know, but I.

596
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: Think it's unconstitutional. And then another one asks, what's a

597
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: student loan deferment?

598
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: He wants something scary. That's scary.

00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: tell the wife that he's not voting for Kamala. This

605
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: is a real life example that mem reminded me of.

606
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: Russia has fined Google twenty decillion dollars? Have you ever

607
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,160
