WEBVTT - Hell Yes We're Talking About It 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.840 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:19.959 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:33.080 and Jettie and he armsranget live from studio. See Sayson, 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.240 You're a dimly let room deep with on the bowels 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.880 of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. Hey y'all, today Halloween, 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.680 we're under the tutelage of our general manager. Your los 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:50.640 angele listen, dudors, honorary honorary general manager. Garbage. That's you, 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:56.639 your garbage. Oh wow, we're still talking about that. Hell yes, hell, yes, 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.800 we're talking about it. Awesome, greatest gaff in the history 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:07.960 of politics in I am ho, I am h O. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:13.400 I love when you're talking online textees, that's right. And 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:20.560 nacronyms or whatever you call that acronyms, that's funny. I 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.759 finally went and got some tense steaks to stake down 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.479 my giant inflatable jack lantern in the front lawn because 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.640 it kept blowing down the street and the neighbors seemed 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.720 to be horrified by this. So I went and got 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.640 some tent steaks. I got that thing nailed down so 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.640 it shouldn't go anywhere, no matter how windy it gets. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.440 Yes, yes, Katie, I feel like you impacted my life 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.680 somehow because I came home from the gym yesterday and 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.240 my inflatable Jack o' lantern was at the end of 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.440 my Drivewax. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:46.960 Yeah, it happens. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:47.760 I blame you. 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:53.480 Those inflatable stakes very susceptible to wind apparently. Let's see, 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.800 you've seen it in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade where 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.320 Snoopy gets out of control and hoists some people to 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.480 their death. Dangerous exactly. So I'm ready for Halloween. I've 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.040 got full sized candy bars. I eat way too many 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.079 of the bite sized candy bars last night. Man, if 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.799 you have bags of those around there, I mean, good 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.120 for you if you're the sort of person that can 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.600 walk by them. But I'm not. That's funny. My bride 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.720 and I were walking our dog and reminiscing about when 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.800 Halloween meant something to us as young parents and living 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.760 in a different neighborhood and all, and she said, boy, 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.520 but I don't miss having that candy left home. Oh, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.280 no kidding. So watching the World series last night, and 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.720 you know every time I go by it, tell it's 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.760 not even a full bite of a Snickers. I mean, 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.760 come on, it's like a fimble full of Snickers. It's 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.480 gonna got hurt to pop one of those in my mouth. Sure, 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.880 what is that twelve calories? Pay thirty of those later. Oh, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:50.440 feel so good. I felt better than the Yankees did 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.680 after the worst inning in the history of the World 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.440 Series by a team, The New York Yankees inning five 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.799 of Game five of the World Series will be remembered 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.720 forever by baseball fans. Yeah, I felt like I was 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.200 watching Little League again, speaking of my younger days. It 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.359 was they if you weren't watching the game, the Yankees 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:15.679 committed no less than three horrific physical endormenttal errors and 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.120 let the Dodgers back from a five hotes. Yeah. That 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.120 a sign is you do that you deserve to lose, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.800 you do. The headline is the inning started five nothing Yankees. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:30.080 The inning ended five to five, all five unearned runs, 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.880 which is amazing. Oh, it was incredible. Garrett called a 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.800 pitcher who contributed to the stupidity by the way committing 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.600 one of the more egregious mental errors in the history 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.440 of the World Series. He had to be homicidal. Yeah, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.080 at the end of that to uh. I won't belabor 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.320 this for you non sports fans, but as I read 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.280 somebody in the New York Post last night, one rider 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.360 said it would have been much less humiliating to lose 0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:01.640 in a sweep the night before. Much less humiliating. Oh wow, 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.280 that's a take. Here's another take, and then we'll move on. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:10.000 Since the Japanese superstar failed to materialize in the World Series, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.640 now I call him no show. Hey o Tani. Wow 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.640 that's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, he was a non factor 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.080 the biggest star in all baseball. So, as I texted 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.279 somebody last night, it's nice to see a plucky little 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.400 team that has one hundred million. Their payroll is one 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:33.120 hundred million more than the league average. The one hundred 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.960 million more than the league average under dugs, they were 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.480 playing against the team with even a higher payroll, so 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.200 it didn't really matter of the two teams. I mean, 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.200 this is just kind of interesting for pro sports. Six 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.279 of the ten baseball players in the world were on 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:54.920 the field last night, the highest paid best statistically. Oh 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.599 I see, okay, Yeah, they bought all the best players. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.680 Yeah okay, And so you know that's what Yankees and 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.919 Dodgers have always done. But just you know, it sucks 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.839 if you're like a Royals fan or an A's fan, 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.080 or a Brewers fan or anything else trying to get 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:15.320 a sniff of anything. How do we feel about Donald 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.480 Trump donning the orange vest getting into them? Dumb trick? 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.839 Maybe the greatest pr move in the final week of 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.719 a campaign ever. It is one of the most effective 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.479 fun capitalizations on a gaff. I have ever seen Joe 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.080 Biden that ahead a kef care handed his opponents not 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.240 a hammer to hit him with, but a machine gun 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.200 of a rhetorical opportunity. Whether the senile old fellow deserves 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.160 to be kicked for it or not, it was one 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.000 of the greatest gaffes in the history of presidential politics. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.200 And the Trump campaign is going nuts with the The 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.479 only garbage I see is his followers a clip we 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.680 need to hear fifty times today. By the way, Uh yeah, 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.960 let's make sure we have that at our fingertips. But 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.080 I know you're busy, Michael, but we got to have 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.240 the whole Biden calling people trash thing, the short one 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.240 ready to go all time, thousand times a day, including now, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.440 if we happen to have it. It's these that we 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.719 hold these truths to be self evidence of the twenty 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.360 first century. There's something or Puerto Rico where I'm in 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:22.600 my home state of Delaware. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.400 They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.039 flowed down there is his supporters. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.640 So I missed this yesterday. We missed this yesterday on 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.080 the show. So Tim Walls before they even got to 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.440 Kamala was on ABC this week with George Stephanopoulos, and 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.880 we played that clip. But I'm so used to the 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:51.000 mainstream media with this bias between Republicans and Democrats. When 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.080 there's a bad thing on the Republican side, for instance, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.320 Sunday night in Madison Square Garden, it's the horrible thing 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.920 that someone said about Puerto Ricans. When a Democrat says 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:10.040 something bad, it is Republicans pounce on this thing always, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.960 once you become aware of it. It's omnipresent. And so 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.960 George Stephanoppolis asks it, says to Tim Walls, Republicans are 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.480 already trying to utilize the president's comments. It was a 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.640 disruption of Kamala's message, wasn't it. And then Tim Walls 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:28.200 gets to restate their message as opposed to that was 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.000 a hateful thing to say. Tell me how you don't 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.760 hate all Puerto Ricans and put them in a difficult situation. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.560 Why do you hate all Puerto Ricans? You hating Nazi 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.840 like they did with every Trump surrogate who had to 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.960 defend that comment. For Democrats, it was, this is an 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.880 interruption of your message of hope and justice and everything wonderful. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.360 Let's get back to that. It's just it's incredible. I mean, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.080 the level of bias that I don't even think they 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.080 know they do. It's just so ingreat. Like I said, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.560 I missed it yesterday because I'm so used to it. 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:04.160 I'm just so used to the double standard. Yeah, yeah, well, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.880 may they fail. May they continue to see declining ratings 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.640 and revenue and go away forever. I think both scandals 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.440 are stupid, but they do exist, and they're being treated 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.480 completely differently by the media. Of course, we should start 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.880 the show officially just to give you a little flavor 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.880 of how Trump handled this yesterday. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:26.520 Joe Getty on this. It is Thursday, Halloween. It's our 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:31.280 special Halloween show, regular show with occasionally some Halloween music 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.000 and probably me eating Snickers bars during commercial breaks. Oh, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.640 this is what did I say? Halloween the thirty first year, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.840 twenty twenty four. We are armstrong and getting we approve 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.120 of this program. All right, let's begin booting rhetorical fly 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.360 balls precisely according to FCC rules and regulations. Here we 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.640 go at mark as they get me my jacket. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.800 But if you did, you know it actually makes you 0:08:54.840 --> 0:09:01.200 look thinner, I said, got me, I said I want 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.199 to wear it on stage. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.200 When they said I looked thinner, I said, in that case, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.200 I'll wear an I'm set. 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.280 I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.360 I may go in this They said that that was 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.080 my that was the word. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.760 That was the key. So you look thinner. So Trump 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.560 did like an entire comedy routine around his orange dump 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.920 truck vest or a garbage truck vest that he wore 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.120 last night. And it was really good. I mean, it 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.960 was Trump at his best right. They had to make 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.079 America great again dump truck referring, of course, to the 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.199 Biden gaff calling his supporter's garbage or did he the 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.040 apostrophe heard around the world? But man, they made Hay 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.760 with it quick and brilliantly. You know what's interesting, I 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.640 heard a podcast talking about this the other day. They 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.400 turned garbage into gold. Jackage out there is his supporters. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.880 I'm clicking today. Everybody stay tuned. Who knows what you're 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.040 gonna hear? Turn no show. Hey, Atana the garbage and 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:12.800 I just turning garbage into gold. You are rolling. I 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.000 heard some strategists talking the other day, like people who 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.360 have worked on presidential campaigns before, talking about how you 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.760 never put your candidate in the apron, You never put 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.760 them in the hat, you never want to put them 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.520 into whatever, because they always end up looking ridiculous. The 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.520 most famous one, if you're old enough to remember it, 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.599 is Michael Ducaccus in the tank. He puts on the 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.120 tank helmet, he gets in the tank and for whatever reason, 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.839 he looked ridiculous and they thought it was a campaign killer. 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.120 So especially ever since then, they never put a candidate 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.680 in an apron or something like that. For whatever reason, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:47.280 Trump puts on the McDonald's apron and it's it's perfectly fine. 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.800 I mean it's a combination of funny and cool. Same 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.959 thing with the dump truck or him doing the rally 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.520 last night in the best you could see For many, many, 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.560 many candidates who weren't TV stars their whole life. He 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.760 was the host of the number one TV show in 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.160 America for years. I mean, he's got, you know, a 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.679 talent for this that makes a difference. But you can 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:11.080 imagine so many candidates trying to wear the garbage truck 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.760 vest at the rally and it coming off as so lappable. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.120 People talk about it for decades. Right. A couple of things. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.400 Number One, he's got the undercover CEO thing going. It's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.959 just fun to see a rich real estate developer wearing 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.559 the garb of the working man, working woman, et cetera. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:32.600 And and this is you cannot you cannot teach this. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.079 He has fun with it without disrespecting the people who 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.000 do that for a living for a minute. The fun 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.560 is at his expense. Us makes me look thinner, or 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.960 you know, the whole prize untouched by human hands. I mean, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:54.880 it's never about disparaging the workers. I don't know, but 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.080 I was watching his whole comedy routine we'll play more 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.880 of it later at the rally last night, and I thought, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.800 I know, there's a big chunk of America that hates this, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.679 but this is really really good. I mean, it just 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.839 makes me insane and I supported DeSantis, but he has 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.760 an incredible gift for connecting with working people that we 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.880 may never see again. Oh man, it was something, Yes, Michael, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:16.800 I always go back. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.720 People want to be entertained, not informed, and this will 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.080 entertain a lot of people and get votes. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.520 There's a lot of truth to that, Michael. I hate 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.200 for that to be true, especially when it comes to 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.080 debates and stuff like that. I don't want that to 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:32.120 be true, but it is. How does mailbag look? Oh, 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.480 it's terrific. One of my favorite notes of the last 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.720 six months. What are we five days out? Now? Our 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.840 text line is four one five two nine five KFTC. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.120 I just read the strategy. It's all about fifty three percent, 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:53.280 fifty three percent, fifty three percent. Kamala Harris can get 0:12:53.280 --> 0:13:00.600 three percent? All right. If Kamala can get fifty three 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:05.199 percent turnout among women, I guess she can't be beaten. Mathematically. 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.040 It's impossible. And that's so that's what they're trying to drive. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.480 That's what the commercials about. HUSB. Don't you don't have 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.600 to vote that way just because your mean husband makes 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.480 you go in the booth and then lie to him. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.400 You can do it that sort of thing. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:23.839 Okay, ay, right, I requested yesterday after Dad, I think 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.400 it was off the air, I said, can I be 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.960 put pleased into a medically induced coma and woken up 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:28.600 on Wednesday? 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.199 Just tell me what happened, including we don't know yet. 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.240 That's fine, I just I can't take another minute of this. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.959 Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, and I 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.719 think that sentiment is shared by many many Americans. Can 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.120 we get this? Oh please? This is an odd moment, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.079 the freedom loving quote of the day. In that D said, guys, Joe, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.760 yesterday you dropped the truth grenade that resonated with me, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.120 which I'm paraphrasing and is paraphering paraphrasing of it. Something 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.360 of the effect of well, one of the feelings of 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.880 democracy is you can't hurt people's feelings. I will remember, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:05.720 you're talking about the high cost of childcare, and we 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.240 can't talk about the skyrocketing rate of single parenthood, specifically 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.040 women who decide to have a kid without a marriage 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.760 or stable relationship, and then they find themselves in a 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.040 situation where they need childcare but their job maybe doesn't 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.160 pay enough. And that's fine, we can talk about that 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.200 is a body politic, but to not recognize why it's 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.200 such a crisis now because the rearranging of the American 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.160 families just you can't talk about that because people don't 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.640 want to hear it anyway. Paraphrasing myself, I worked on 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:38.120 this for a couple of minutes. Now, this is the 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.040 freedom of quote of the day for me, Joe getting 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.320 The great weakness of democracy is that it depends in 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.160 large part on an electorate that can handle the truth. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.240 M hmm. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.400 You know, I collect these. I'm going to write me 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.280 under that the saying that wherever it came from is 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:03.800 clearly true, is just one thousand percent true. The hard 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.400 times make tough people. Tough people make good times. Good 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.800 times make weak people. Yeah, and weak people make weak times. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.360 That is one thousand percent true. And we're in that 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:21.800 pendulum swing and unfortunately we're really making for hard times. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.400 Is usually phrased, Yeah, Yeah, we're in the hard times 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.840 being made by soft people phase. And it's frustrating. If 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:35.200 you're you can recognize it. Yeah, Mailbag, our email address 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.480 is mail Bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. I'm 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.800 not sure there's anything that can be done about it. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:46.200 It's is unavoidable to sunrise, sunset, and the ripening of fruit. Yeah, anyway, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.600 this note from Aaron uh, somebody may have suggested that 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.000 some of the reaction to various gaffes in the late 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:57.160 stage of the campaign is either fake or people with 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.040 their panties wanted and Aaron Rice handies aren't watted. I 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.880 was just calculating my taxes when that story dropped about 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.800 what Biden said. Now, I don't appreciate a coffin case 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.120 head of the government calling one hundred and fifty million 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.600 people garbage when we're paying eighteen or more percent forty 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.560 five grand a year of our combined income to a 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.640 government that calls us trash, because we don't want our 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.480 children taught by some drag queen that they were born 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.640 in the wrong body and that bacon is unaffordable. Subway 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.480 sanders cost fifteen dollars in the Secretary of Health looks 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.120 like Rick Moratus on estrogen. Look when they say stuff 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.000 like that, I start to hear the menacing sound of 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:35.680 fifes and drums in my head. Wow, oh there you go, baby, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.680 huh three. I'm not calling anybody, I'm calling that a 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.320 great email. You got one of those angry maga people 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.440 that I hear so much about. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.720 The only garbage I see floating down there is just supporters. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.160 Yeah, I got more on why. He probably said that 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.960 from a prominent Democratic strategist coming up that I congratulate 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.320 them for being honest. We're almost out of time. What 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.320 the heck? John m and San Diego sent this Happy Halloween. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.720 Now our who fears razor blades and drugs and their 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:05.560 kids hallowing candy? It submits something possibly worse. My friends 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.480 sent me this picture. It appears to be super high 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.600 end chocolates wrapped in foil with a little sticker on it. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.320 But what this friend does is wraps Brussels sprouts to 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.199 look like candy. No, remember you got to get the 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.320 nerds gummy clusters. It's the most popular candy in America, 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.320 the most delicious candy in America, according to the Wall 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.160 Street Journal, Get those for your picks. Brussels sproutch. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.800 President Biden and First Lady Doctor Jill Biden hosted a 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.040 Hallo Read event today at the White House, which included 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.760 a Spooky Storytime corner. Incidentally, spooky story time is just 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.560 what they call it anytime President Biden makes unscripted remarks, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:47.560 hooray everybody. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:52.680 I don't want to write this down. So how about 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.639 him sticking all the baby's feet in his mouth? Have 0:17:54.720 --> 0:18:00.399 you seen that montage? I haven't. Oh so creepy for 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:05.000 babies now, it's it's a perfectly nice grandpa sort of 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:09.240 thing to do with their own grandkid. Oh yeah, but 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:15.639 intimate thing. But an old stranger baby after baby putting 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.080 their bare feet in his mouth is weird. I think. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.720 I don't know. I thought the video was weird, and that, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:28.919 by the way, not a real doctor. She was dressed 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.359 as a panda, which is kind of funny. Joe Biden, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.800 we got a text that just said I'm nonplussed, which 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.560 is a word I need to use more often. Non 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:41.080 plus excellent of a person surprised and confused so much 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:45.760 that they're unsure. I'll react. There you go. That's what 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.960 we got. So I'm angry about well, I don't know 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.679 if I'm angry. Yeah, I'm angry, and I apologize if 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.280 you're tired of hearing me say this, because I've been 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.600 saying it now for three years, but it still amazes me. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.919 Here's a headline in the New York Times, their latest 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.720 polling on people's attitudes about the economy, which is what 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.200 the number two issue in America behind immigration. Right now, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.320 inflation is basically back to normal. Why do voters still 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:20.439 feel blah, wow, wow, that is just profoundly ignorant. I 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:26.200 don't understand. I couldn't believe that reporters didn't get this 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:31.320 at the beginning of the conversation. I don't even know. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:38.000 I'm nonplussed about how they can still not get this. 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.680 Let me read the opening paragraph from the New York 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:45.720 Times economic person. Grocery inflation has been cooling sharply, but 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.960 Tamra Flamer twenty seven, she hasn't noticed. What she knows 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.239 is that paper plates and meat remained more expensive than 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.320 they were a few years ago. Yes, you freaking morons. 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:02.240 You don't notice a deep increase in the increase of prices. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:06.560 It would be impossible. Nobody could do of the rate. Yes, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.640 nobody would notice a slowing of the rate of inflation. 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:17.640 It's impossible to notice. It's just a it's a dumb concept. Yeah, 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:23.280 oh yeah, it goes on. Voters say they are very 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.520 focused on the economy as they head the polls, yet 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.919 surveys suggest they feel relatively glum about its recent track record. 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.040 The lingering pessimism is something of a puzzle, says The 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:38.560 New York Times. Is it? Is it? Really? Do you 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:43.879 know a single normal human being? You must not, or 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.560 you would hear people say I went to Wendy's last 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:48.919 night and it cost sixty bucks for me and the kids. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.480 Or I filled up with gas yesterday. I don't know 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.320 how people do it. Or let me stop you there, Jim, 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.800 let me stop you there. Now Wendy's went from fifty 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.720 two dollars to sixty dollars in the course of seventeen months. 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.280 Now it's only gone from sixty to sixty two dollars 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.920 in the course of the last nine months. So as 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:12.439 you can see, inflation is cooling a Jamner Hamburger right 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.760 in your face. If you tried that to somebody. What 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.439 did band these people? Where do they live? Mars? I 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.199 don't know. And like I said, do you not have 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.840 a single normal friend? Not one in your circle? Whoever 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.000 walks in and you know, at a party and says man, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:26.480 I stopped by the liquor store. I got this bottle 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.560 of wine. It used to be eight bucks, now it's fifteen. 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:34.320 I can't believe it. That's reality for everyone, but people 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:38.480 who write economics stuff, it's not. There's more on this. 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.320 The lingering pessimism is something of a puzzle, which makes 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:46.720 you a moron. The job market has been chugging along, 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.520 overall growth has been healthy, and inflation is back to normal. 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.440 It says here. How is that a puzzle? Things cost more, 0:21:56.000 --> 0:22:00.280 way more than they did not very long ago. Period, 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.520 you morons, And let me speak for thousands and thousands 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:08.199 of people listening right now. The job market is hot. Okay, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:11.199 I've still got one job, or I used to have one. 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.240 I still have one, and my money, my wages have 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:19.359 not kept up with inflation, not even close. So and 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.399 then I'll shut up about this because it's you know, 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.280 I'm belaboring the point, but I just it's I actually 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.920 can't believe it. I find it difficult to believe that 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.199 the journalists who cover the economy are still saying this 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:34.359 crap five days out from a presidential election that Trump 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:38.960 is set to win, maybe mainly because of the price 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.720 of stuff, and they don't get it. I don't understand 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.440 inflation's back to normal. God, you're so dumb. I don't 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.720 even know where to start with you? Here you are 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.040 belaboring the point which points to arise in the belaboring 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.880 statistics any like that, the labor market. You just can't 0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:58.800 be stopped today with your workplay anyway. You just a 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.960 non stop fountain wordplay like a Nigo Montoya over here 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:07.679 of my words. Yes, I don't know what you call 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.600 the subheadline halfway through an article that's in bold or 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:13.199 what what do you call those things? But anyway, it 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.560 says here consumers may focus more on price levels than 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:28.120 price changes. Okay, al right, well that's that's correct. Yes, yes, 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.920 it is correct and obvious to anyone over the age 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:35.119 of five. Yes, good look, I can't. I'm reeling from 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:37.320 that one. You know, I thought it was the beating 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:38.840 was about over, and you caught me right in the 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:44.280 jyms with that, I mentioning consumers worry more about fing 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:48.280 prices than the rate of efing change, which they can't 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.840 observe day to day because they're busy with they're real lives. 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:54.359 Oh it's so funny. So I mentioned as a target. 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.000 The other day, I get my normal allotment of stuff 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:58.720
