Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty and he arms yet.
Speaker 2: Wrong studio see see Sanor.
Speaker 1: It is a dimly lit room, larnty within the bowels,
Speaker 1: the freezing bowels. It's self Harman here we need to organize.
Speaker 2: And strike like coal miners or something for better work conditions.
Speaker 1: I think this is taking years off my life. It's
Speaker 1: sold here.
Speaker 2: This must be an old joke, and I'm just really
Speaker 2: late to the party. But a buddy of mine the
Speaker 2: other day mentioned his age, and this other friend of
Speaker 2: mine looks at him and says, did you work in
Speaker 2: a coal mine?
Speaker 1: That's funny?
Speaker 2: And did I heard somebody else making a reference to it?
Speaker 2: And is that a common thing? Now? I never heard
Speaker 2: a very funny thing to say to somebody. I will
Speaker 2: do that from now on. You ask me with the
Speaker 2: right people. But when I find out their age'll look shocked. Wow,
Speaker 2: did you work in a coal mine or something?
Speaker 1: That's beautiful? That is funny.
Speaker 2: So we're in a dimplely lit room and today we're
Speaker 2: under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, gracious loser.
Speaker 2: All right, go do whatever it is you're gonna do,
Speaker 2: be president of a university or something or something or
Speaker 2: nothing or nothing or whatever. I probably won't be sure
Speaker 2: to not update me as you know your plans.
Speaker 1: I probably won't hear about it. This caught my eye.
Speaker 2: Wall Street salivates over new Trump boom. How about yes,
Speaker 2: and the stock market went crazy yesterday. As as you know,
Speaker 2: if you pay the attention, you knew US stock capitalization
Speaker 2: rose one point six trillion dollars yesterday, the fifth best
Speaker 2: one day showing ever in the history of the stock market.
Speaker 2: The surge highlights the opportunity that investors, bankers, and others
Speaker 2: in finance are hoping to embrace over four years of
Speaker 2: tax cuts, deregulation, and economic expansion. Is all based on
Speaker 2: what they actually think is going to happen because of
Speaker 2: a different, you know, view of the relationship between business
Speaker 2: in America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of points.
Speaker 2: Number one, the idea that Trump and is crushing tariffs
Speaker 2: and ugliness and everything is going to bring the economy
Speaker 2: to its knees. Obviously, those who make their living actually
Speaker 2: knowing whether that's true or not, disagree vehemently. With the media. Secondly,
Speaker 2: I heard it put and I think it's true. There
Speaker 2: are a lot of explanations for the recent political events
Speaker 2: we've all been discussing, but I think one of them,
Speaker 2: and it's significids is people would rather have economic opportunity
Speaker 2: than a government check. I hope that's true, certainly enough
Speaker 2: people of various socioeconomic and ethnic descriptions, which again have
Speaker 2: been discussed at length recently. Yeah. One of my favorite
Speaker 2: things that seems to be happening in America that we
Speaker 2: learned this week, and I've heard discussed in left leaning
Speaker 2: punditry is how and they almost seem bothered by this. Hispanics,
Speaker 2: particularly Hispanics men, have seemed to assimilated to a point
Speaker 2: that they're more interested in and they say this again,
Speaker 2: like they're disappointed in this. Hispanic men seem to have
Speaker 2: assimilated to the point that they're more interested in their
Speaker 2: own personal situations than there I forget how they put it.
Speaker 2: Then they're than they're than focusing on themselves as a group.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, and that's a normal thing, thank you about.
Speaker 2: It is such a challenge if if you even want
Speaker 2: to to get into the head of somebody who sees
Speaker 2: everything through the lens of identity politics, right. I mean
Speaker 2: that statement that you just related to us is I mean,
Speaker 2: that's like coming across somebody from a culture that believes
Speaker 2: in newborn baby is the reincarnation of some sort of
Speaker 2: God and they worship the kid, and it's like, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, what and you got one of those like
Speaker 2: every couple of generations.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a fascinating system. How foreign that is?
Speaker 2: You're surprised that, guys, And the idea with that anybody
Speaker 2: who has callouses on their hands or or you know,
Speaker 2: a woman, maybe it's a woman who has a job
Speaker 2: where she rubs her feet at the end of the
Speaker 2: day because it's tiring. One of my kids has one
Speaker 2: of those jobs. The idea that they would rather have
Speaker 2: a government check than opportunity. They'd slap you for suggesting that.
Speaker 2: I hope that yesterday was a start toward or the
Speaker 2: end of identity politics. That would just it was bad
Speaker 2: when it came on the scene, and maybe it goes away,
Speaker 2: that'd be fantastic. And you just look at all these
Speaker 2: individual groups based on they're all looking out with it's
Speaker 2: best for them, what's going to make a cheaper place
Speaker 2: to live, better wages, better healthcare, whatever, don't have anything
Speaker 2: to do with your man or woman or your skin color.
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome, I would agree, But as I've said
Speaker 2: many times, this is not the beginning of the end.
Speaker 2: It's the end of the beginning. We are arrayed, or
Speaker 2: we are fighting the forces arrayed across academia and the
Speaker 2: media and entertainment who believe that stuff to their very
Speaker 2: marrow and are still teaching it to our children. Man,
Speaker 2: I'm excited to get back to looking at other parts
Speaker 2: of the world life and everything that goes on, you know,
Speaker 2: international affairs, what countries might be coming for us, or
Speaker 2: advances in science, or problems in schools or healthcare or whatever.
Speaker 2: But one of the things is China is announcing today
Speaker 2: they're unveiling their newest stealth jet fighter to the J
Speaker 2: thirty five, which looks exactly like our stealth fighter, because
Speaker 2: they stole all the plans from I guess a British
Speaker 2: firm that had them, but anyway, China stole all the
Speaker 2: technology for our super cool, best in the world fighter
Speaker 2: jet and their unveiling one today that is basically exactly
Speaker 2: the same thing, which is highly troubling.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is, and I am gratified to have.
Speaker 2: A unmistakably China focused foreign policy administration come in office.
Speaker 2: It's utterly we are not a quarter of the way
Speaker 2: as the American people, I think toward a full enough
Speaker 2: awareness of the fight we're in. Well, heck no, we
Speaker 2: got to get back to I got more information on
Speaker 2: because I'm following Josh Rogan's Twitter feed who we had
Speaker 2: Josh on last week the biggest hack in American history
Speaker 2: by China that experts in the government told him, Look,
Speaker 2: this is bigger than the election, Please write about it. Yes,
Speaker 2: So we need to say, hacked into all the major
Speaker 2: phone carriers through the back door installed for the purposes
Speaker 2: of the NSA and the FBI, and have been reading
Speaker 2: and listening to all of our conversations, including our leaders.
Speaker 2: Our foreign policy teams are counter intelligence agents. It's an
Speaker 2: enormous and horrifying hack by our adversary. Your enemy isn't Trump,
Speaker 2: Your enemy isn't Kamala Harris. Your enemy is China, China's
Speaker 2: and we haven't booted them out. We don't even know
Speaker 2: if we know how if we can. They're listening to
Speaker 2: our phone calls right now. Chinese I mean, you can
Speaker 2: listen to my phone calls, you're going to be pretty bored.
Speaker 2: But we have tens of the hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 2: Chinese spies in this country. And anybody who says, hey,
Speaker 2: these like neighborhood associations, A lot of these grad students,
Speaker 2: the researchers, blah blah blah. They are having their chain
Speaker 2: yanked by the Chinese Communist Party, who can make them
Speaker 2: do anything they want.
Speaker 1: You shut up, you big it, You're just a racist.
Speaker 2: Holy fee Have you seen the side by side of
Speaker 2: China's new J thirty five plan that they unleashed today
Speaker 2: in are at thirty five? The fact that I have
Speaker 2: he gave it the same name, basically, it's also a
Speaker 2: bit of a jab. I think, Yeah, we.
Speaker 1: Got a plane called the same name as yours and
Speaker 1: it looks the same. I'll be darne.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a bit of a touchdown tanks, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It is bit of a flex.
Speaker 1: Let's start the show. Officially, I'm Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this at his third Michigan came in,
Speaker 2: by the way, Officially, Trump won freaking Michigan. He won
Speaker 2: freaking everything. Yeah, everything, Please it's underappreciated. Almost one New Jersey, Virginia.
Speaker 2: All starts up Blue States. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe
Speaker 2: Getty on this Eljoly Thursday, November seventh, or twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: We are armstrong in getting and we approve this program.
Speaker 1: Let's speakin.
Speaker 2: Then, Officially, according to FCC rules and regulations, the show
Speaker 2: starts at mark.
Speaker 3: Americans should be bracing for a total change in economic policy. Republicans,
Speaker 3: likely controlling Capitol Hill, will be able to extend the
Speaker 3: Trump tax cuts from twenty seventeen to a certain extent,
Speaker 3: as well as have sweeping tariffs across the board. Couple together,
Speaker 3: that will be the Trump economic plan. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of change, so much change, so much change there.
Speaker 2: You go, so much change, Jack, so much change. There
Speaker 2: will not be sweeping teriffs across the board. It's an
Speaker 2: opening bargaining position. Everybody, calm down.
Speaker 1: You don't think there will be.
Speaker 2: There'll be some particularly where worry of being dumped on
Speaker 2: by you know, for instance, communist Chinese steel.
Speaker 1: For instance, I haven't followed the tariff talk. I let
Speaker 1: that be your arena. Oh I get the tariff deest.
Speaker 2: Yes, congratulations, Oh my God, how does mail bag look?
Speaker 1: It's outstanding. There's really good.
Speaker 2: There's some new Alzheimer's research with the help of AI
Speaker 2: that's very interesting. Let me you something of our artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence before it dooms humanity. Helps with Alzheimer's, so people
Speaker 2: can be more alert in their old age to the
Speaker 2: fact that AI has doomed to humanity.
Speaker 1: That'd be handy, wouldn't It might be completely aware. Is
Speaker 1: our overlord's drainer vital fluids.
Speaker 2: That is a beautiful gift as robots put a pillow
Speaker 2: over your face exactly all that stuff on the way,
Speaker 2: and our text slite is four one five two nine
Speaker 2: five k f TC.
Speaker 1: Terrific, terrific.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm starting to feel the pressures of the holiday approaching,
Speaker 2: as my kids mention things they want for Christmas and
Speaker 2: making Thanksgiving travel plans and whatnot.
Speaker 1: The the looming holiday season, big giant specter coming across
Speaker 1: the landscape.
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, Yeah, undeniably the reality of it, folks have
Speaker 2: observed for many, many owns.
Speaker 1: It's not supposed to It's supposed to be joyous, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: it is in all the songs. It's supposed to be joyous.
Speaker 2: Why do none of the songs mentioned stress or it's
Speaker 2: stopid songwriters or expense. There should be more songs about
Speaker 2: just how expensive holidays are. No kidding, here's your freedom
Speaker 2: loving quote of today. I'll tell you why I picked
Speaker 2: this one out. I have been pouring through various accounts
Speaker 2: in some of the mainstream media think pieces of folks
Speaker 2: on the Democratic side trying to analyze why the election
Speaker 2: went the way it was and dealing with their shock
Speaker 2: and horror and the rest of it. And I am
Speaker 2: absolutely astounded by the lack of clear eyed absorption of
Speaker 2: what is clearly true. And I went digging around and
Speaker 2: found this quote from Dostaevsky and the Brothers Karamazov. I
Speaker 2: haven't read Dostoievsky in a long time. I should, because
Speaker 2: I just he's an unbelievable author. But above all, don't
Speaker 2: lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and
Speaker 2: listens to his own lie comes to a point that
Speaker 2: he cannot distinguish the truth within him or around him,
Speaker 2: and so loses all respect for himself and for others,
Speaker 2: and having no respect, he ceases to love.
Speaker 1: That's a good one.
Speaker 2: To thine owns, above all, to thine own self be true.
Speaker 2: The Bard if you need him mailbag, drop us a
Speaker 2: note which you have mailback at Armstrong and Getty dot com.
Speaker 2: There's no from Nick from the future Jack Joe in
Speaker 2: fourteen hundred and sixty three days I planned to vote
Speaker 2: for NICKI Haley to beat Mayor Pete and take my
Speaker 2: sort from Donald John, how.
Speaker 1: Do you see it shaving up damck neck from the future.
Speaker 2: Mayor Pete's given a speech tomorrow, I think, and it's
Speaker 2: seen as the first shot across the bow of the.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight primaries for Democrats.
Speaker 2: Ray from San Pablo Wrights, guys, still the best show
Speaker 2: on the air. But today you lied to your audience.
Speaker 2: I'll assume you don't know which is absolutely correct. It's
Speaker 2: that clip from CNN where the map guy, the host
Speaker 2: Jake tapperrass the map guy John King where Harris out
Speaker 2: drew Biden in the counties and yeah, the map was blank.
Speaker 1: And then Ray points out that if you.
Speaker 2: Kept watching, John King says, oh, whoops, that's the state
Speaker 2: by state, here's the county by county, and it showed
Speaker 2: a couple of dozen counties where Kamala Harris did do
Speaker 2: better than Joe Biden did four years ago.
Speaker 1: So Ray You're absolutely correct. I had seen that clip.
Speaker 2: Twenty times, edited the way we played it, I had
Speaker 2: no idea that when it kept going John King corrected.
Speaker 2: Is there which I think is, you know, a cautionary
Speaker 2: tale for all of us, is if we needed it.
Speaker 1: It is so easy.
Speaker 2: To manipulate perception and conclusion based on fairly subtle alterations
Speaker 2: of what happened or just when you cut off a clip.
Speaker 2: So while I was highly amused by that, it was
Speaker 2: misleading in for that I apologize. Yeah, but the result
Speaker 2: was damn near the same in this case, as opposed
Speaker 2: to being, as is often the case, the exact opposite
Speaker 2: of what the you know, original clip tells you, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: if we had gone on with the tape, it would
Speaker 2: have been oh boy, twenty in a nation of seven
Speaker 2: million counties. Right, So physically criticism, but basically the same result.
Speaker 2: Perspective from a female, former female Democrat, this is an
Speaker 2: anonymous I'm a paull that I had to vote for
Speaker 2: someone as crass and undisciplined as Donald Trump. Frankly, I
Speaker 2: almost tossed my ballots selecting Trump after a couple of
Speaker 2: recent things.
Speaker 1: She mentions, and I'm beyond disappointed.
Speaker 2: That the Republican Party thought re up in this flame
Speaker 2: in hot Cheetoh as the nominee was a good idea. However,
Speaker 2: I still voted for him only because the Democratic Party's
Speaker 2: judgment was unfathomably worse. I voted against the person who
Speaker 2: tried to sell Americans for nearly four years that Biden
Speaker 2: was on his a game. My mom passed away after
Speaker 2: a long battle with Alzheimer's in twenty twenty three, and
Speaker 2: she recognized it. I voted against illegal immigration and elite
Speaker 2: liberal unaffected voters deciding we should have open borders without
Speaker 2: having to bear any of the consequences of their virtue signaling.
Speaker 2: I voted against politician who directly contributed to the societal
Speaker 2: breakdown of California, state I love and where I was
Speaker 2: born and raised. She mentions as an unmitigated disaster the
Speaker 2: governance of California and liberal California is above revealed the
Speaker 2: true Marxist that she is. I voted against two hundred
Speaker 2: dollars a week spent in groceries to sustain one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty pounds adult spending five bucks per gallon for gas,
Speaker 2: four hundred dollars per month for heat, and air conditioning,
Speaker 2: and she gets into college costs, which are are stunning,
Speaker 2: whose primary purpose seems to be indoctrinating young adults to
Speaker 2: Marxist ideology. I voted against a Democratic party that's become unrecognizable.
Speaker 2: Gay marriage, Hell yeah, decriminalizing cannabis, Why not ensuring we
Speaker 2: are working against racial injustice, of course. But now a
Speaker 2: few moments, a few years later, Democrats expect me to
Speaker 2: support tax funded transition surgeries for imprisoned felons, men competing
Speaker 2: in women's sports, accepting the hundreds of thousands of young
Speaker 2: Americans are dying from fentyl overdoses as a direct result
Speaker 2: of the non existent borders, homeless encampments, and walking zombies everywhere,
Speaker 2: and that I should accept that my white privilege was
Speaker 2: to blame for blm riots, the increasing crime rate, and
Speaker 2: mass looting. Then she mentions the mainstream media, the tyranny
Speaker 2: of the left, be it antifar riots, COVID lies, the
Speaker 2: erosion of individual freedoms, college campuses, an empty vessel candidate.
Speaker 1: It's all beautifully.
Speaker 2: Written, an anonymous that is really good, that ought to
Speaker 2: be in the New York Times, not in my greasy myths.
Speaker 2: I just saw this on the topic of sticker shock,
Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough floored when his wife Mika Brazinski informs him
Speaker 2: butter costs seven dollars. What is it framed in gold?
Speaker 2: Scarborough says, yeah, it's quite possible that a lot of
Speaker 2: people like him aren't going to the grocery store and
Speaker 2: don't know that normal things cost ridiculous. Every time I
Speaker 2: get a box of cereal, it's like, what this is
Speaker 2: eleven dollars dollars for this cook coast to the grocery
Speaker 2: store unless she's busy, and then the butler goes, I've
Speaker 2: got more great email on that sort of topic. Stay
Speaker 2: with us, we'll sprinkle them in. You have a voice
Speaker 2: on the Armstrong Engeddy Show. Don't ever say that again.
Speaker 2: That's horrible, Okay, So oh, there's so much to talk about.
Speaker 2: I hope you can stick around, and if you miss
Speaker 2: an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on.
Speaker 1: Demand Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: I taught my son the word shottenfreud last night, and
Speaker 2: how while it's something none of us should be proud of,
Speaker 2: it is a common human emotion reaction that is taking
Speaker 2: pleasure in someone else's pain.
Speaker 1: That is what I'm doing here with Jimmy Kimmel. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest. It was a terrible night last night.
Speaker 4: It was a terrible night for women for children show,
Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of them.
Speaker 1: Can you stop that?
Speaker 2: Try? I don't even know if I can listen to this.
Speaker 2: Give me a freaking break. God, what happened to the
Speaker 2: co host of The Man show you a.
Speaker 1: Brain? It's a termin like for children for women? Oh
Speaker 1: my god? Do you actually believe it?
Speaker 2: So you think fifty five percent of the country is
Speaker 2: just hates women, hates children, wants a bad economy, wants
Speaker 2: unfairness everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what the majority of us want, in
Speaker 1: every state, including most of the blue states. We all
Speaker 1: just want bad things to happen to everyone. We're just
Speaker 1: evil trolls.
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to help me out. I'm not even familiar
Speaker 2: with the wacky Doodle fever dream that that is. That's
Speaker 2: a bad night for children. I don't know about Katie anybody.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 5: Maybe the whole trans thing, but that clip gets a
Speaker 5: million times worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's the night for people who mutilate confused
Speaker 2: children for a living. To me, okay, I just I
Speaker 2: wasn't a piece of garbage. I didn't have my feet
Speaker 2: at shoulder width. Yeah he started that clip. I hang on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, take a deep breath, brace yourself, because if you've
Speaker 1: just been I can take another blow getting worse. Katie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh no, start from the beginning. Here we go.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. It was a terrible night last night.
Speaker 4: It was a terrible night for women, for children, for
Speaker 4: the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make
Speaker 4: this country go.
Speaker 1: For healthcare, for environment, for.
Speaker 2: Science, yeah, sciences, for justice, for free speech.
Speaker 4: It was a terrible night for poor people, for the
Speaker 4: middle class, for seniors to rely once social security, for
Speaker 4: our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, or the truth and
Speaker 4: democracy and decency. And it was a terrible night for
Speaker 4: everyone who voted against him. And guess what, it was
Speaker 4: a bad night for everyone who voted for him too.
Speaker 4: You just don't realize it yet.
Speaker 1: And oh, thank you for that, yay, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: A conscension that for the fifty five percent of people
Speaker 2: that voted for.
Speaker 1: Trump, that you're just too stupid to realize that you
Speaker 1: voted for hell yeah, wow, wow, it is.
Speaker 2: It's just amazing to observe that beast in its natural environment.
Speaker 2: The delusional lefty. Let me hit you with this, Well,
Speaker 2: go ahead, if you're dying too, I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: I guess that must explain.
Speaker 2: So if you weren't listening late in the show yesterday,
Speaker 2: started talking about therapists that I was aware of. I
Speaker 2: came across this information. I can't even say how, and
Speaker 2: I can't be specific. I wish I could, because it's
Speaker 2: so freaking good. I shared it with Joe off the air.
Speaker 2: It's therapists talking to each other yesterday, in a chat
Speaker 2: about how I don't know if I can go to
Speaker 2: work today.
Speaker 1: I'm crying.
Speaker 2: How can I help other people who are crying? You know,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to deal with my trauma, and everybody's calling
Speaker 2: me looking for answers.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: But I guess if you believe, they must believe, like
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel does, that things just got worse for children, women,
Speaker 2: hard working immigrants all across this country. Journalism, free speech
Speaker 2: are your pocket book, all this if you actually believe it.
Speaker 2: So you also must believe that, like over half the
Speaker 2: country's evil and voting for this stuff, Wall Street is
Speaker 2: completely a moral and evil.
Speaker 1: Well, Wall Street is kind of a moral, that's part
Speaker 1: of the whole free market thing, but.
Speaker 2: That Wall Street is just evil because the stock market
Speaker 2: shot up because finally we get to stick it to
Speaker 2: children and women and working people. Oh finally in science
Speaker 2: all we hate science. Uh, you must actually believe that
Speaker 2: if you're breaking down, crying, or are full d trauma
Speaker 2: because of this.
Speaker 1: What struck me about his list.
Speaker 2: Was that some are fairly you know, classic Democrat tropes,
Speaker 2: but some were just absolutely unhinged delusional, like the old
Speaker 2: people who depend on social Security.
Speaker 1: Trump has one too far in saying he will.
Speaker 2: Never reform social Security in any productive way. So there
Speaker 2: were a lot of examples there that were inexplicable except
Speaker 2: that he's part of a fairly significant part of the
Speaker 2: country that is so utterly bubbled there in the hysterical
Speaker 2: rhetoric of politics as opposed to the actual reporting of
Speaker 2: people's positions on issues, that he has no idea that
Speaker 2: Trump is too soft on social Security and medicare. I
Speaker 2: wish I had no idea. I wish I could talk
Speaker 2: to a guy like Jimmy Kimmel. Here, here's a tissue,
Speaker 2: blow your nose and then say, so let's go buy
Speaker 2: these one by one. Why are you worried about social Security? No,
Speaker 2: that's not sure right. So John from San Diego wrote
Speaker 2: us a great email. Guys, I'm glad we won. Relieved.
Speaker 2: I understand some of the gloating and reveling in the
Speaker 2: left wing freakouts. Oh you can enjoy quite a bit
Speaker 2: of that today, as a matter of fact. But just
Speaker 2: as we point out how crazy it is that they
Speaker 2: demonize half the country, we also need to realize how
Speaker 2: many people are on their side, and we have an
Speaker 2: opportunity here to not rub it in their face, but
Speaker 2: to give them a reason to join us. They have
Speaker 2: such a false view of us and of what the
Speaker 2: next few years may hold. Yeah, no kidding, ding that
Speaker 2: they might be genuinely surprised to learn that things aren't
Speaker 2: what they seem. If we can find friends, coworkers, classmates
Speaker 2: on left and engage them in respect respectful debate, debate,
Speaker 2: or even just get them to know without hiding, get
Speaker 2: to know them, I'm sorry, without hiding our own opinions,
Speaker 2: they might realize how much they've been lied to and
Speaker 2: that we're not that bad, and we can finally see
Speaker 2: the gap between left and right start to narrow.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely true.
Speaker 2: I think for somebody who comes with a list, like
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel did, you could say, hey, whoa, whoa, I
Speaker 2: can hear your upset, but let's let's talk about a
Speaker 2: couple of those in a friendly and outgoing way.
Speaker 1: I think I think that.
Speaker 2: Would be very helpful for the country and just on
Speaker 2: a human level. And it's easy to blame and hate,
Speaker 2: and I've both blamed and hated Left for their absolutely
Speaker 2: crazy ass. I wouldn't date someone who voted for Trump.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't shop in their business. I wouldn't even pass
Speaker 2: them on the street. I'd crossed to the other side.
Speaker 2: I mean, that is so self indulgent, indulgently unhinged that
Speaker 2: I just can't stand it. On the other hand, I
Speaker 2: like John's theme, We're not all those things that you
Speaker 2: think we are to people who can be reached everybody.
Speaker 2: This happens time after time. If you get older, you
Speaker 2: recognize it. The winning side overreads why they won, the
Speaker 2: losing side overreads why they lost. And then that's part
Speaker 2: of the whole veering from guardrail to guardrail thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: because the vast majority of why Trump won could be
Speaker 2: like one omp ed in the Wall Street Journal today.
Speaker 2: In the end, it was sticker shock. Things are just
Speaker 2: too expensive. The end, I mean, you could and then
Speaker 2: you can throw in all these other things. But maybe
Speaker 2: they at some play, But it might have just mostly
Speaker 2: been Butter's eight dollars. That makes a lot of people unhappy,
Speaker 2: always has. I would like to think some of my jihads,
Speaker 2: some of the issues that I'm most fired up about,
Speaker 2: played a big part, but it's possible that even in
Speaker 2: their absence it would have gone the way it went.
Speaker 2: Although judging by your email, I think the whole critical theory,
Speaker 2: trans lunacy, gender bending, little boys commenstrument thing that really
Speaker 2: is off putting.
Speaker 1: But my only quibble with you is that.
Speaker 2: And I've I've spent quite a bit of time in
Speaker 2: the last twenty four hours reading the autopsies from the
Speaker 2: liberal media, and I think the winning side might well
Speaker 2: over how did you phrase it? Overread, over read why
Speaker 2: they won? The Democrats are underreading it. They have lost
Speaker 2: an astounding lack of insight as to what happened.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, yeah, I agree, I must. I must
Speaker 1: say this. People like Jimmy Kimmel, who have trot.
Speaker 2: Out issues like that, perhaps we can reach them and
Speaker 2: have a civil conversation.
Speaker 1: People like this.
Speaker 2: Uh less so Uh now where is that's that's the
Speaker 2: wrong montage? Oh there it is eighty Michael eighty.
Speaker 1: How did we get here? How did we get here?
Speaker 1: What in the Alice in Wonderland nightmares is going on
Speaker 1: right now? All I can say is, how dare you
Speaker 1: if you voted for that man?
Speaker 2: I chose family, I chose women, I chose America.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 6: If this guy does end up winning again, all of
Speaker 6: the people who voted for him will be like happy
Speaker 6: and they'll just be celebrating, and everyone else, everyone who
Speaker 6: feels threatened by him is scared, Like we're scared for
Speaker 6: our lives, We're scared for our friends.
Speaker 1: Who the fuck is voting for him?
Speaker 2: Genuinely? Well, you're either mentally ill lets a lot of
Speaker 2: those people probably, or I was coming across some stuff
Speaker 2: yesterday where you clearly, like completely bought into all the
Speaker 2: crazy stuff you heard about Project twenty twenty five and
Speaker 2: everything like that. If I believed that, I might be
Speaker 2: upset too, But I don't believe it. So it's like
Speaker 2: the hardcore QAnon crowd just on the left. There were
Speaker 2: a couple of side by siders that were getting ready,
Speaker 2: I think, and they're almost entirely young women. More on
Speaker 2: that in a moment. But the one gal says, uh,
Speaker 2: I don't have any rights anymore as a woman, I
Speaker 2: don't have any rights, and she's going to pieces, and
Speaker 2: then it cuts to a black coal who's crying and says,
Speaker 2: I might wake up tomorrow an mfing slave.
Speaker 1: I'll be a slop, Oh my god, and I mean
Speaker 1: a Kimmel.
Speaker 2: Well, I could say, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, slow down, let's
Speaker 2: talk folks like that. I don't know even where to start,
Speaker 2: some sort of detox programmer deprogramming camp. And then they
Speaker 2: made a one hundred and eighty dollars an hour appointment,
Speaker 2: emergency appointment with their therapist who's just as freaking crazy
Speaker 2: as they are.
Speaker 1: Correct. Yes, yes, so I'm reminded.
Speaker 2: Well, a question popped into my head as I was
Speaker 2: listening to that, because I've talked about this in a
Speaker 2: number of contexts. How so such a high percentage of
Speaker 2: the radical college crowd are young women?
Speaker 1: And orwell?
Speaker 2: Famously Online for nineteen eighty four mentioned that it was
Speaker 2: always the young woman who became the most vicious adherents
Speaker 2: to the rhetoric and the party's pronouncements, that they were
Speaker 2: the most anxious to wrap people out and the rest
Speaker 2: of it. And it was true in The Red Guard
Speaker 2: in China too, And it's a particular and troubling facet
Speaker 2: of young woman that they need to belong so much
Speaker 2: that it's easy to seduce them with a feeling of
Speaker 2: a being doing the right thing and be belonging. And
Speaker 2: I say that as the loving dad of a couple
Speaker 2: of daughters and blah blah blah, but it's an undeniable
Speaker 2: facet of human psychology. And I don't know what we
Speaker 2: can do as a society and as parents, role models, mentors,
Speaker 2: whatever to help our daughters not be that, because I
Speaker 2: think we really need to turn our attention to that,
Speaker 2: because it's scary how far it's all going. And then
Speaker 2: it popped in my head something I learned years and
Speaker 2: years ago. They went around talking to all the female
Speaker 2: CEOs of Fortune five hundred companies or Fortune thousand, whatever
Speaker 2: was really successful female business people, and to a woman,
Speaker 2: and this is crazy, but it's true to a woman.
Speaker 2: Every single one of them did one thing is a
Speaker 2: kid they competed with their dad. They played basketball together,
Speaker 2: they played board games together, and they tried to win,
Speaker 2: and Dad tried to win, and Dad, through winning and losing,
Speaker 2: taught them it's okay to win and it's okay to lose,
Speaker 2: and taught them more. I mean, I'm not sure the
Speaker 2: two things that are at all related, but it just
Speaker 2: popped back into my head and I remember what a
Speaker 2: stunning insight that was when I was raising daughters.
Speaker 1: Hmm, certainly could be. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I live in a town where they would encourage the
Speaker 2: person who was falling apart that they're right and like
Speaker 2: raise them up as a ideal of the way we
Speaker 2: should all be reacting.
Speaker 1: So exactly, that's the thing.
Speaker 2: If there's nobody in their lives saying, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: we need to calm down a little bit, and let's
Speaker 2: look at the facts.
Speaker 1: We need to make sure we understand what's actually happening here.
Speaker 1: But you're right.
Speaker 2: If mom and even Dad alan alda esque modern twenty
Speaker 2: first century ashamed to be a man toxic masculinity, Dad
Speaker 2: probably has a sweater tied around his neck, right, is
Speaker 2: saying yes, you should go to pieces They are evil.
Speaker 2: They are coming for your rights. You probably will be
Speaker 2: a slave. I mean, what are you gonna do? My god,
Speaker 2: we got to take a break. But I was reading
Speaker 2: this piece in the New York Times. I think yeah,
Speaker 2: one of the New York Times columnists about how when
Speaker 2: the results came in, he went up to his three
Speaker 2: year old daughter's bedroom and while she was still sleep,
Speaker 2: he held her home and and he said to her,
Speaker 2: I'm going to protect you. I am going to protect you.
Speaker 2: And he cried, holding his daughter's hand, even though she
Speaker 2: doesn't even know what's going on. Well good, you should
Speaker 2: protect your daughter. But from a testical implant from Trump appropriate?
Speaker 1: What are you talking? And you get testical implants?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? You crazy person? And you
Speaker 2: have a column in the New York Times. I'd be
Speaker 2: happy to donate my testicles. I'm more or less done
Speaker 2: with them.
Speaker 1: I like the way mine fill up my pants, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it on them. Did not need that?
Speaker 1: True hands? Who needed that?
Speaker 2: None?
Speaker 1: I did need it.
Speaker 2: We've got Katy's headlines coming up next. One of the
Speaker 2: main themes, maybe you've caught onto this is how.
Speaker 1: Elon musk No controlled the election and how awful.
Speaker 2: It is for America. We got to get into that
Speaker 2: an hour two. If you haven't heard all that stuff, seriously,
Speaker 2: why not?
Speaker 1: Is there a gravity in your world? Do the animals talk?
Speaker 1: What color is the sky?
Speaker 2: I have a boat, whole bunch of facts and graphs
Speaker 2: that can push back against the idea that Elon Musk
Speaker 2: was a major player in this thing. Yeah, I have
Speaker 2: so much I want to get to today, but let's
Speaker 2: figure out whose report he want.
Speaker 1: It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie ABC.
Speaker 5: Trump takes calls from growing list of world leaders following
Speaker 5: his election victory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got some of those.
Speaker 2: We'll read later as a statement from Zelenski and a
Speaker 2: number of other world leaders afterwards. All very good, very gracious.
Speaker 2: But I saw Drudge's headline yesterday world shocked. I've heard
Speaker 2: so much about the shocking win.
Speaker 1: How was it shocking?
Speaker 2: Were you paying attention? Every poster said it was a
Speaker 2: coin flip for the past two.
Speaker 1: Months a coin and everybody knew it. Are you from
Speaker 1: mirror the whole coin flip thing? It can go either way.
Speaker 2: It's fifty to fifty, so how would it be shocking
Speaker 2: if it lands?
Speaker 1: Heads?
Speaker 5: CNBC Dow soares fifteen hundred points to record high in
Speaker 5: best days since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: After Trump wins the election. All that is is a
Speaker 1: proof that in Trump's America, oligarch's rule. That's right.
Speaker 2: And I cry for our children whose bones are going
Speaker 2: to be harvested by Wall Street and sold is some bones,
Speaker 2: I guess to.
Speaker 1: Beat illegals with right, to beat.
Speaker 5: The old with New York Post squirrels spotted on stage
Speaker 5: before Kamala Harris's concession speech.
Speaker 1: The Internet thinks it's the ghost of peanut.
Speaker 2: Yes, clearly the ghost of peanuts. Long lived peanut.
Speaker 1: That's great, all right? You read with the day is
Speaker 1: actually a joke, says I just had a physical.
Speaker 5: The doctor said, don't eat anything, fatty, And I said,
Speaker 5: like bacon, cheeseburgers, And he said, no, fatty, don't eat anything.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite old time jokes. Oh that's
Speaker 1: unkind fatty Babylon Bee.
Speaker 5: Kamala calls for peaceful transfer of power to Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no kidding. It's time that we unite
Speaker 2: with our opponent. Wait wait, wait, you're gonna unite with
Speaker 2: the Nazis now? He said they were Nazis. I saw
Speaker 2: Jonathan Turley's tweet before I heard Kamala's speech yes day,
Speaker 2: in which he said it couldn't have been better, gracious, etcetera.
Speaker 2: And then I watched it and thought, yeah, that is
Speaker 2: the way it's supposed to look and go so cool.
Speaker 2: That's over now. I never need to hear about her
Speaker 2: or from her every again in my life, and we
Speaker 2: move on to the next chapter. I ran into a
Speaker 2: couple of friends who wanted to talk about the speech.
Speaker 2: They thought some of it was unnecessarily combative and not gracious.
Speaker 1: At all, and I was like, you know, she could
Speaker 1: have said anything she wanted. I don't care.
Speaker 2: Say what you want, recite the alphabet. I don't know
Speaker 2: the complete works, just Shakespeare backward, or I don't care.
Speaker 2: So how much influence did Elon have on the election?
Speaker 2: Among the things we'll be talking about. If you miss
