1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. How do you like

4
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: my garbage truck?

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: That is Donald trumk Donald Trump in a garbage truck

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: yesterday in the Orange Vest. And that was that alone

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: before he did his rally in the Orange Vest which

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: we're about to play from. Was well, we got this text.

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Many of them like it. That garbage truck routine was

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: one of the best political stunts I've ever seen. That

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: was good and well pulled off, good idea. I think

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: it landed it in every way. I would agree, regardless

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: of the origin of the garbage phrase and apostrophes and

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: gaffs and or senility or whatever, if it creates enough

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: wind to blow this ship across the ocean, that wind

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: is real. It doesn't matter if the origin was funky.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: It's one of the great gaffs in political history. Now

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: the media went out of its way to do the

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: whole It's a cliche. If you're into this, once you

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: become aware of it, it becomes so obvious and an omnipresent.

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: But the whole Republicans pounce. Usually they use a different

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: version of Republicans pounce, They word it in a different way.

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: David Muir ABC News last night actually led with I

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: think it was the first words out of his mouth,

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: Republicans pouncing today on comments by Joe Biden. So if

27
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: it had been the other way around, it would been

28
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump calls half of Americans trash, and then you know,

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: put the Republicans in the position of defending that. If

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: a Democrat says it, it's Republicans pouts. They don't have

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: to defend that. The Democrats don't have to defend it.

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: It's just the way the Republicans are trying to use

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: something right. The discussion is about, indeed, the evil Republicans

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and how they're trying to exploit something usually unfairly. A

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: more direct and concrete example the headline for Days and

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Days and Days, Trump holds racist rally at Madison Square Garden, right,

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. Not and then when Biden says what he says,

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Republicans pounce, attempting to exploit Joe Biden's gaff that's funny

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: how you look at those things the sum total. In

40
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: the New York Times of Politics yesterday, at rallies, Harris

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: stresses unity as Trump attacks Biden's garbage comment. So Trump's

42
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: attacking a comment, they're not having to defend it. Well,

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Harris is just stressing unity. Oh who's against unity? It's

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's amazing how far they're willing to go.

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: It's oh, sorry, dropped my water bottle. Okay, right, Oh yeah,

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: I think so it remained closed. You got to do

47
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: an endorsement deal with that water bottle. That's amazing it

48
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: stayed closed. Anyway. So Trump does a rally last night.

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: He leaves the garbage vest on and starts talking about it.

50
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: At the rally. I'm in this beautiful plane.

51
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying myself, have a wonderful suit on.

52
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: And one of my people came in.

53
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: He said, sir, you know, the word garbage is the

54
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: hottest thing right now, the hottest thing out there. Sir,

55
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: would you like to drive a garbage truck?

56
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Listen to the crowd reaction to that, and what a

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: great setup. The word garbage is the hottest thing right now.

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Don't need to explain the whole thing. He knows all

59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: the people in Marina are completely aware of it. Yeah,

60
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. And then he tells this story, I climbed into.

61
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: The truck, but he so, I said, how the hell

62
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: do you get into this truck?

63
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: It's way up high, it's a big way. This was

64
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: a beauty. I said, you didn't have.

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: To buy it that big, right, you have to get

66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: it that big? And I said, man, this is bad

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: because now I have all the cameras or all what look,

68
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: look at all the fake news there were most of them.

69
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: So I said, man, if I don't get up there,

70
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: this is going to be very embarrassing.

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: He's stupid people.

72
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: They'll say, he's cognitively and physically appeared. So look, so

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: the stairs, the first stair is like up here.

74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: I was like, so, I had the adrenaline going, and

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: I made it. I don't hear many politicians do that self,

76
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: deprecating about age, weight, his hair thing, the way he

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: does for all his vanity and everything like that. What

78
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: he talks about. I hope it's not windy, you know,

79
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I got that whole hair thing going, or talking about

80
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: the vest that they said it makes you look thinner. Okay,

81
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: there's unquestionably a vein of hanger running through our politics

82
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: right now. But who's laughing, who's having fun? Where's the

83
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: actual joy? I don't think it's commless peeps. Oh, I

84
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: mean about fascists and Nazis. I watched this video like

85
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: twice last night. When he drops that S bomb, he said,

86
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: I look at that first step and I said S.

87
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: Everybody behind him threw back their heads in laughter, right right,

88
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: because it's real. I always remembered the one that made

89
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: the biggest impression. This was way back in twenty sixteen

90
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: when he showed up to the big motorcycle rally in

91
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: a limo and his suit, and he did the opposite

92
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: of what every single politician my whole adult life is done,

93
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: where they put on the motorcycle vest that somebody bought

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: for him and they ride in on her life if

95
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: they know how to, or on the back of one

96
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: if they don't, and you know, to be part of

97
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the crowd and their genes that are obviously brand new.

98
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: He showed up in his suit and he said I

99
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: like motorcycles. I like limos, and the crowd howled with laughter,

100
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, that is a good one. I know,

101
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I know it's I was watching it just loving it, laughing.

102
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: I laughed out loud like it was a comedy routine,

103
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: like five times watching his setup to the whole Orange

104
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Vest thing, and I thought, man, there's so many people

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: that just hate him so much. There's no way they

106
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: could possibly enjoy this on any level. It's an odd comment,

107
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: but I've read a couple of my favorite thinkers making

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: the same comment, and that is when we know the

109
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: result in retrospect, it's going to be so obvious how

110
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: we got. Oh yeah, absolutely in either direction, which is

111
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: a head scratcher. Yes it is. It doesn't make sense,

112
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: but either one wins. You could say, well, of course

113
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: half the country hates Trump, always has. He's never gotten

114
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: above of forty eight percent. Of course he lost, or

115
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the other way around, inflation, she's a dunce, etc. With

116
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: no track records running on a fourth Obama term, nobody's

117
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: going to vote for that. Of courtine, fun and laughter

118
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: was on Trump's that's obvious that he pundit who said

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: otherwise is right. So we'll just all find out together,

120
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: I hope Wednesday morning. Back to Biden's what is the

121
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: comment we got it there, Michael, the short version there

122
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Biden garbage I see flowed out there is his supporters.

123
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: You can hear the apostrophe. Yes, my headphones must not

124
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: be working. Didn't sound like an apostrophe to me, as

125
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: Charlie she Cook of National Review tweeted out last night,

126
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: I listened to it again. I think I heard an umlot.

127
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Garbage I see flowed out there is his supporters.

128
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Oh, anyway, whether this apostrophe or not, I was watching

129
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: one of my podcasts last night, this Democratic strategist, and

130
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: he said, he said, I'm sorry to say this to

131
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: other Democrats, but we all know it's true. Whether he

132
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: meant it in that context or not, that is how

133
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: he feels about Trump supporters for real. He thinks they

134
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: have the garbagetic definition of a gaff accidentally saying what

135
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: you really believe? Right. And Mark Alpern, who talks to

136
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: so many people, he said, every Democrat I know in

137
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: government feels that way about Trump supporters. They just do

138
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: so it. You know, if you have that level of

139
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: contempt for that voter, how does that sort of thing

140
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: not come out? You know, I'm a reasonably bright guy,

141
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: but that had escaped me. That is beautifully, simply, powerfully true.

142
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: The reason it landed so fertilely is that it confirms

143
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: what is true, even if the old man misspoke. I mean,

144
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 1: you can't portray a candidate as a racist, fascist, sexist

145
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: monster Hitler fan, but exact as followers from the accusation

146
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: of being evil. I understand the people who support them

147
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: are actually nice people. No, that math doesn't work. No, no,

148
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: you can't have Hitler packing arenas, but distance put distance

149
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: between Hitler and the people who are following him. It

150
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: just yeah, it does not work, right' the good Germans argument.

151
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: If you're familiar with that part of history. Anyway, this

152
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: I still say, And I got to work through my

153
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: memory banks. I mean, maybe somebody said something stupid in

154
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Douglas debates that I've forgotten, But I think

155
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: this may be the most impactful gaff in presidential campaign history.

156
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: And as I've heard other people say, so, is it

157
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: still a mystery why Kamala doesn't have Biden on the

158
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: campaign trail with him? Oh? Yeah, Oh, I tell you

159
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: what is a mystery? Unless you had more to say

160
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: on that thing. If I got him, he's handed out

161
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: candy to babies for Halloween. I mean, he's not eating them.

162
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: That's what got to me. Eats babies. That's my headline.

163
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: Please walking dead, some beats babies. But if you get

164
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a mic in his face, he's gonna say something that's,

165
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, a forty eight hour news story. So you

166
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: got to keep on mind I go away from him.

167
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: They should lock him up. Yeah, it's gonna be more

168
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: than forty eight hours. People are going to be talking

169
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: about that waiting to vote on Tuesday. I guarant freaking

170
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: tee it. Speaking of mysteries, why the hell does Donald

171
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Jay not have Nicki Haley out campaigning for him. I

172
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: think it's that, you know, there are many aspects of

173
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Trump's personality that are awful, awful, and he wins despite

174
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: many aspects of his personality. I think this is one

175
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: of them where he's just so petulant about the fact

176
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: that she ran against him, because it makes no political

177
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. She's saying nice things out there even at

178
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: this linked date, and and she said the other day

179
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: she hasn't talked to him since June. They haven't had

180
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: a conversation since June. She's made clear in interviews that

181
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: she's willing to go out there and campaign for him,

182
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: and he won't do it because he's petulant, because he's child.

183
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: They furnish the campaign with a list of dates that

184
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: she'd be willing to travel in do campaign events. Yeah,

185
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: she is the perfect emissary to the undecided suburban woman,

186
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: and because of his petulance, he wont to utilize. Oh yeah, yeah.

187
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: The whole argument that I keep hearing from strategists on

188
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: MSNBC and CNN as they're trying to get the Nicki

189
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Haley voter. Kamala Harris is trying to get the Nicki

190
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: Haley voter in the suburbs, those people that you don't

191
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: send Nicki Haley out to get the Nicki Haley voter.

192
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: What's what's the best way to appeal to the Nicki

193
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Haley voter? Maybe with Nicki Haley and she wants to

194
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: do it, but because you're a child, you won't let

195
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: her go out there. Tell you what if we end

196
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: up with President Kamala, Oh shutter runs through everyone on

197
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: this Halloween. Yeah, that's the sound right there. But if

198
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: we end up with President Kamala, this will be his

199
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Hillary didn't go to Wisconsin. Ah, that's a good one.

200
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: That's a good one, one hundred percent. It will live

201
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: in infamy. It's embarrassingly dumb to not have Nicki Haley

202
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: in the suburbs of Detroit today. Sure, yeah, yeah, giving

203
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: you talk about permission structure, giving all those people who

204
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: like Nicky Haley women the permission structure to vote for Trump.

205
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: But she is so articulate as a prosecutor of Kamala's

206
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: inadequacies and a grudging supporter of Trump's. Yeah, yeah, it's

207
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's ella fantine idiocy on Trump's part, sorry,

208
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: and born out of just childish emotions. Struck. It's it's

209
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: very it's very magning. On the other hand, the dump

210
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: truck gag is one of the funniest and best political

211
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: uh stunts I've ever seen in my life. It's perfect.

212
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: It was really good. What do you think of it?

213
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: Text line four one five two KFTC. How do you

214
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: like my garbage truck?

215
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

216
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Up charge shuttles under this ball, but DoD dropshon Can

217
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Hernandez get to the back before the flow he dodges?

218
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: There are coal flows in a ground ball left side

219
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: will be with another break for away grand blead side rizzle.

220
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: Nobody at first. Freddy Freeman on one too in the

221
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: center field of baser Tabo runs the score. The Dodgers

222
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: take advantage of the bad defense from New York in

223
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: the air to left center field. Judge on the run,

224
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: dead's sprinting out of the track that's over his head.

225
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: Send a score, Freddie Freeman for the play, and this game.

226
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: Is gonna turned upside down? Was that me in the outfield?

227
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: That was me as an eleven year old in the outfield?

228
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: The error after error compounded by mental errors by the Yankees.

229
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: They were If it was a high school team, there

230
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: would have been a serious chewing out of the defense.

231
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: That was awful. You fifth inning turned the whole game

232
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: and won the series for La last night. You often

233
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: here in Super Bowls, World Series, or whatever, it's a

234
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: shame either team has to lose. That wasn't a shame

235
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Yankees had to lose. They sucked. Nobody's ever sucked like

236
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: that in one inning ever in the history of the

237
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: World Series. That was the all time suckiest suckage ever

238
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: in the World Series. That's correct. It's been confirmed by

239
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: baseball historians. The only appropriate response, of course, torches city Boss.

240
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: This has really been sideways here in the last half hour.

241
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: It's been going on for at least thirty minutes. The

242
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: initial calls came in about thirty minutes ago. Reports are

243
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: four to five hundred people inside of this Nike flagship store.

244
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: It's a Jordan flagship store in downtown La at Broadway

245
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: in six. You can see thirty minutes later there are

246
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: still tons of shoes walking away. We're watching people going

247
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: in and out. As you have mentioned, there have been

248
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: a number of getaway vehicles waiting for the merchandise to

249
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: walk out. They stuffed the trunks, they get in the

250
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: car and they drive away.

251
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: Well, we call it what crime if you want, I

252
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: call it looting back, systemic racism or something. Oh boy, yeah,

253
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: which brings us to what this stuff actually is. It's portrayed,

254
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: for whatever reason by the media, is LA fan Dodgers

255
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: fans rioted last night, their enthusiasm God blah blah blah blah. No,

256
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: whenever there is a crowd, there are those who would

257
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: exploit it to commit crimes and commit mayhem. We saw

258
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: it in the Black Lives Matter rallies and marches. Some

259
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: of those people were just out there marching in favor

260
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: of what they thought was, you know, civil rights. It

261
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: was actually in favor of Marxism. But the criminals and

262
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: scumbags exploit that and commit crimes and we let them

263
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: get away with it. Now, my whole life, I've never

264
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: understood why we taxpayers have to put up with if

265
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: our team wins, we let people set a bus on fire.

266
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to cost a hundred thousand

267
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: dollary play one hundred thousand dollars of tax paramony to

268
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: replace a bus because you know, they get to do

269
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: that for some reason. What the hell More From KABC Michael,

270
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: it seems like.

271
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: The celebrations definitely got out of hand last night, people

272
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: doing donuts, even setting an MTA bus on fire. I'll

273
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: step out the way because they're actually crews are here

274
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: trying to actually toe that bus from the scene here,

275
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: But there is debris all over the road here, and

276
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: a spokesperson for Metro tells Ewen as sneeze, a bus

277
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: operator and five people had to evacuate.

278
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, people who are probably fearing for their lives.

279
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: In addition to the cost the taxpayers have to pay

280
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: for the bus. We just put up with it because

281
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: lawlessness is okay, I guess the celebrations got out of hand, okay?

282
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? It wouldn't be very hard to

283
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: make it clear going forward in all cities that you

284
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: don't do this, you'll spend so much time in jail

285
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: or get hit in the head so hard with a

286
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: stick or whatever it takes that you just don't do

287
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: it because you don't need to do it. It's not

288
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: That's what's happened. Is there's this weird belief that you

289
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: need to have that happen. There's just no stopping it,

290
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: and there's zero chance to George Giscones of the world whatever,

291
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: prosecute the looters around right.

292
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: Hey, you guys see this today Arnold Hoarzenegger endorsed Vice

293
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: President Harris.

294
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Although everything Arnold says sort of sounds like Kama.

295
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 6: Kammara, let's get to the kamala Kama.

296
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: Is the orient omelet. What does he say out of

297
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: the the mont thermometer. I read that long piece from

298
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger, all the stuff about how government sucks and

299
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: how much he hates politicians I really really liked. Then

300
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: I didn't. Then I didn't quite get the turn toward

301
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris at the end. But boy, I read it

302
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: and I had the same reaction. I was like, wait, wait, wait,

303
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: how did we get here? All right? Hey, we were

304
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: just talking about the riot in La that happened. No, no, no, no,

305
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this too good. Just real quickly

306
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: before we get back to that, this is Ai Arnold

307
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger bringing it all together twelve Michael.

308
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 6: I was working in the lab the night when my

309
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: eyes beheld from a monster from his slab begin to rise,

310
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: and suddenly, to my surprise, then.

311
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: It's okay. So that's what's going to be in the

312
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: big T. Humanity is fire or the Internet to Arnold

313
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger kind of be impersonated doing the monster mash. We're

314
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: thinking it it might replace the need for human beings

315
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: to work. But as it turns out, no, no, not

316
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: so much. Anyway, back to anger. So there was riding

317
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: in La last night after the World Series because the

318
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: Dodgers won, and then somehow society decided many decades ago

319
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: that if your team wins or loses, as you point out,

320
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: you get to destroy a whole bunch of public property

321
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: that taxpayers pay for, and then private property that insurance

322
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: companies then cover and boosting up the price for all

323
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: of us. And we just decided that's okay. I hadn't

324
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: I knew what had happened in La I read about it,

325
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: but I hadn't seen the picture. So I'm looking at

326
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: the guys walking out of the Nike store with boxes

327
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: stacked upon boxes of new shoes because why shouldn't they

328
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: get to steal shoes because the Dodgers won. They'll just

329
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: let them do it, I guess. And then all these

330
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: cops gathered around all these people who are rioting, just

331
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: letting them do it. I don't understand why. I'm a

332
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: law and order guy freaking bring them down. I don't

333
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: care what it takes. You don't get to do that.

334
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: And then guess what, next time it doesn't happen because

335
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: people realize that they don't put up with that anymore.

336
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: And then the bus, the bus covered in spray paint,

337
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: all the windows, bashed out, people on top of it,

338
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: setting it on fire. Why in the hell would society

339
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: put up with that? Tell you this NYPD cracked down

340
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: good and arrested a bunch of people after the rioting

341
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: and the anti Semitic riots that happened last year or

342
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: earlier this year, I guess it was and lost and

343
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: lots of those people sued for being maltreated or roughed

344
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: up or what have you. In the city settled with

345
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: him and wrote a ton of checks, and virtually nobody

346
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: was prosecuted. I feel like I feel like as a libertarian,

347
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, if I'm trying to destroy a city

348
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: bus that taxpayers paid for, a cop has every right

349
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: to hit me in the head with a stick if

350
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: he has to to get me to stop. After being

351
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: ordered to stop, I don't stop. I continue to destroy property.

352
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: Why why would society allow that? It's the overripe fruit,

353
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: It's the good times create soft people, the absence of

354
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: realism in the midst of affluence. I don't know however

355
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: you want to characterize it, but yeah, we've completely lost

356
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: the very basic principles of what keeps order in a society.

357
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not some sort of you know, right wing

358
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: lunatic or anything like that. I want fewer laws, but

359
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: just like good parenting, consistently enforced, study after study, shows,

360
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, in the field law enforcement, politics and policy

361
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. It's not the severity of

362
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: a punishment that increases deterrence. It's the certainty of the

363
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: punishment that gives you deterrence. And we have gone in

364
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: exactly the opposite direction as a society. I would feel

365
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: like there's almost zero chance I'm going to suffer any

366
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: repercussions for doing any of that stuff in La zero smashing,

367
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: screaming at Jews, whatever the case may be, looting during

368
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: a BLM oh BLM stands for by large mansions, somebody say, oh,

369
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: I get it anyway, Yeah, what are you gonna do?

370
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: All right? Complete transition from anger to frighten scary Michael scary.

371
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I expected the other sound, but that's

372
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: a good one. I like that scary. How many tiny

373
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: kit cats I ate last night? Good Lord, I'm not

374
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: going well. At least you're not eating babies like the

375
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: zombie President. I'm not going to tell you what this

376
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: article is about, because I like this opening so so much.

377
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: It got me. Ever, use the office printer for your

378
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: kid's homework assignment, or your own resume, or just the

379
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: forms you needed for your dentist. There's not a chance. Ever,

380
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: that's the only thing I've ever used the office printer for. Literally,

381
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I've ever used the office

382
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: printer for is if I had to print out personal

383
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: stuff and my printer's not working at home. You understand

384
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: this is being aired? Correct anyway, continuing me on, ever

385
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: scrolled Facebook Marketplace during an all hands a zoom meeting

386
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: that's turned boring, or Twitter or whatever. Fair warning your

387
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: employer may be paying close attention. The newest trend among

388
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: big companies on the hunt for efficiency that need to

389
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: pare down the workforce is firing people, busting them for

390
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: seemingly minor infractions, but by the letter of your employment agreement,

391
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: can result in termination. Oh so it gives them they

392
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: wanted to fire you anyway, Well, they need to fire somebody,

393
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: They need to fire people, and this gives them an

394
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: out where they probably don't know you severance and stuff. Yeah, correct, exactly.

395
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: It's like the death penalty for parking tickets of Corporate America.

396
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: There's this gal. She's the US director of Payhawk, which

397
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: administers company credit card accounts and then watches for misuse.

398
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: She said, Oh, we've had lots of requests for new controls.

399
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: For instance, clients ask Payhawk to restrict when and where

400
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: company cards work. Maybe you've got a lunch allowance can

401
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: only be used on weekdays between eleven and two, can

402
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: be used at Chipotle but not at Kroger whatever. Wow,

403
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting. They're developing a feature that sends real time

404
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: spending alerts to corporate finance teams and allows them to

405
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: instantly block suspicious transition transactions by employees. You know now

406
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: that this is popping into my head. We're going to

407
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: get something a private version of the social credit score

408
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: that they have in China for companies, and so they'll

409
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: have all your entry, exit keyfob information. They'll have everywhere

410
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: you've gone, because you've got the company phone, every single

411
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: place you've gone anyway, they'll have a database of reasons

412
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: to fire you if they ever need to fire you.

413
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: And then they don't have to pay a severance or

414
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: anything like that or giveing any kind of are any

415
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: of the rules that exist. They're out of it because

416
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: they got this is how many times you were late

417
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: coming in the door. This is how many times you

418
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: were someplace you weren't supposed to be on company time.

419
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: This is how many times you use the copier for something,

420
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: and they'll have all of that. There'll be enough to

421
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: fire you whenever they want. It's like the social credit

422
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: score in China. I think you're absolutely right. A couple

423
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: more quick examples. Meta fired employees for spending their twenty

424
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: five dollars meal allowances on other items. Ernst and Young

425
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: dismissed workers who watched multiple training videos at the same time. Ah,

426
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: those idiotic corporate training videos that are merely so the

427
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: lawyers can say it's not our fault, we trained them. Yeah,

428
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: and they know they're pointless. But if they need to

429
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: get rid of you, then they can say, well, you

430
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: were supposed to watch it and you didn't, so we

431
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: got to let you go. And in a true sin

432
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: against humanity and decency, Target canned employees who jumped the

433
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: line to buy the coveted Big Stupid cups ahead of

434
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: the general public the coveted Stanley water bottles. So anyway,

435
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: the whole you can give the finger to your boss

436
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: and kick them in is junk, and they can't fire

437
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: it because they're so desperate for workers. Phase of American

438
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: commerce that's over man, that is over mind your peas,

439
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: comma your cues. After a quick word from our friends

440
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: that simply say, if I've got another scary work, please

441
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: story for you. It will scare you. My goodness, oh

442
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: my god, that seems to be a ghost or apparition

443
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: of some sort. Correctly appraised, sir, Now speaking scary, you

444
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: got your criminals and scumbags and junkies that the progressives

445
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: are letting oots around on the streets enough to make

446
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,760

450

451
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: and neighbors, which it would recognize, and potential threats, alerting

462
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: There's no safe like simply Safe. I want to throw

463
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: out a quick question before we get back to the content.

464
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: Michael Katie, everybody think about what's your favorite scary movie?

465
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you listeners, also, you can text us. We'll get

466
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: to that later, because I think that's what I'm gonna

467
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: do with my son, who feels like he's too old

468
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: for trigger treating. But we thought maybe we'd stay home

469
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: and watch a scary movie. So what's your favorite. We'll

470
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: get to that coming up. Oh yeah, I came across

471
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: an interesting piece of psychology journalism. If you're one of

472
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: those people who really likes horror movies, I do slasher

473
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: movies whatever. In fact, they relax you. Wow, Is there

474
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: something wrong with you? Clearly the answer is clearly yes,

475
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that probably next hour.

476
00:27:53,520 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 7: So imagine being trapped underground in a coffin or a

477
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: union you want to get out of very similar scenarios.

478
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: This story is crazy and it is, among other things,

479
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: an indictment of And we haven't talked about this, and

480
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: I've come across example after example, but it's a little dry.

481
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: The National Labor Relations Board under Biden is so in

482
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: the bag for unions. I mean, it is a perverse law.

483
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: What's the office. It's not a law enforcement a labor

484
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. It's a labor law breaking agency. They

485
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: are actively breaking the law. And this is from Hadley, Massachusetts.

486
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: It's co written by a man and a woman who

487
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: work at the Trader Joe's in Hadley, and they write,

488
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: apparently it's okay to unionize, but not get rid of

489
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: our labor union. Here's the story. They both worked at

490
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's for ten years. In twenty twenty two, the

491
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: story became the first in the company to unionize. They

492
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: write both of us a post it, but we were outnumbered.

493
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Forty five of our fellow crew members voted to join

494
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's United, while thirty one of us voted against

495
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: it and seven abstained. But the union wasn't what many

496
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: of our coworkers expected. The officers basically selected themselves. Then

497
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: they delayed negotiations with Trader Joe's while forfeiting our annual

498
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: bonus retirement contribution. Amid growing discontent in the store, the

499
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: two of us attended a bargaining session in February twenty three,

500
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: which the union president invited all crew members to join.

501
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: We were shocked at what we saw. We thought the

502
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: union would focus on things that matter, like wages and benefits. Instead,

503
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: union representatives negotiated over things like pronoun pins, which the

504
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: company already provides. They demanded that Trader Joe's cover abortion

505
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: and gender affirming care what the company pronoun pin. The

506
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: company's response, the health plan already covers those things. Either

507
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: the union negotiators were embarrassingly uninformed or they were playing

508
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: a political game with workers as the pawns. Either way,

509
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: our team deserved better. We wrote up what we saw

510
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: at the bargain session and posted it on the break room.

511
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: In the break room within hours, the union asked the

512
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: store captain to take it down. He refused. When we

513
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: showed up to the next bargaining session in April twenty three,

514
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: only for our own union to deny us entry and

515
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: ask security to escort us from the building. Why don't

516
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: the people who have a legal duty to represent our

517
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: interests want us to see what they're saying and doing.

518
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Our frustration kept building, so last November, we told our

519
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: fellow crew members we were gathering signatures to hold a

520
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: decertification election. We need the support of only thirty percent

521
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: of the bargaining unit to force a new election. We

522
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: thought this would be tough, since many of our colleagues

523
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: told us they were afraid of the union and its

524
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: reprisals and would sign only if we kept their names secret.

525
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, unions are nothing but wonderful for workers. Yet

526
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: by July of this year, forty six percent of our

527
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: coworkers had signed our petition. We felt we had a

528
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: real shot, especially since the majority of the crew members

529
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: who initially voted for unionization have left. They didn't like it,

530
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: they were unhappy, and they left. In July, we filed

531
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: our petition with the National Labor Relations Board. Two months later,

532
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: our hooks were dashed. The NLRB's regional director dismissed our

533
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: petition on grounds that Trader Joe's is under investigation for

534
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: unfair labor practices at our store. The company's accused of

535
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: everything from having a quote overly broad dress code to

536
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: giving one of our coworkers a quote negative appraisal. The

537
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: union has also claimed that managers in our store made threats,

538
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: though in our experience they did nothing of the kind.

539
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: The federal government told a little trader Joe's in Massachusetts.

540
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: You voted for a union. Now you can't vote it out.

541
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: We won't let you. Wow. Not very many people know

542
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: that's the way it works. Yeah. Interesting, Well the unions

543
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: write them gigantic checks, you see, son, So I don't know,

544
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: go work at the Whole Foods or something. Sorry, what

545
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: scary movie should I watch? Stay tuned. It's hair. It

546
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: was perfect part of the song before we get any

547
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: you're thing real quick. I just saw the funniest political

548
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: meme I've seen in a very long, very long time.

549
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: And it's even funnier because it's from Tom Cotton, who's

550
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: not known for funny. Not really. No, it's a picture

551
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: of Trump serving up the French fries and then Trump

552
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 1: sitting in the garbage truck, and Cotton says, the Biden

553
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: Harris economy is so bad that seniors have to work

554
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: two jobs just to make ends meet. That's pretty funny.

555
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That is pretty good. So we're health

556
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: nuts here. At the Armstrong and Getty Show. Everyone who

557
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: listens knows, and we're a little concerned. On Halloween, you're

558
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna beating so much candy you're not gonna get any roughage.

559
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: So we're serving up on behalf of Kamala Harris some

560
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: delicious word salad.

561
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 5: What I'm talking about doing right now is based on

562
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 5: long standing work. It's not new, but as President of

563
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 5: the United States, part of why it is important is

564
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 5: it is a new approach to that job that brings

565
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 5: my commitment to the work I am talking about and

566
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 5: to being You cannot ever be burdened by other people's

567
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 5: limited ability to understand who you are like, don't let

568
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: their limited ability burden you about your own ability. You know,

569
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 5: we also have the honor and the duty of excelling

570
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: in every way possible, being able to see what is

571
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: possible and not be burdened by other people's limited ability

572
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 5: to see the same.

573
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: She almost was going to go into the unburdened by

574
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: what has been, but she's been mocked so much for

575
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: that she knows that she shouldn't go there, so she

576
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: does a different wording of that. That's wild. She has

577
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: a weird way of speaking that doesn't necessarily make her

578
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: dumb or anything like that, but she's got a weird

579
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: parenthetical tangential way of speaking where she just has trouble

580
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: getting to her points. I would say, if you are

581
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: limiting your vision of what you can be by other

582
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: people's opinions or something, she should not run for president. Yeah. Anyway,

583
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: if she gets elected, if she ends up winning, I

584
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: hope she can curb that to some extent, just because

585
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: it would be better for the country if she could

586
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: speak more directly about you know, if the S go,

587
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: if the S hits the fan, which it very may

588
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: well in the next four years. Did you see I

589
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: saw the New York Times headline. I thought, Holy crap,

590
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is a headline. And then we

591
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: just don't talk about this stuff. Some more headline in

592
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: the New York Times. As I woke up this morning,

593
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: as the chances of war with China increase, Hello, I

594
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: mean hello, is right, And that's a heck of a

595
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: sentence to throw off as just kind of a oh,

596
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: by the way, is the chances with war between the

597
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: United States and China, the two most powerful economies on Earth,

598
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: the second, the first and third biggest nuclear arsenals on

599
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: earth as the chance of war between those two countries increases.

600
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Are we not talking about this more? Are just so

601
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: busy these days prior to the election. I haven't gotten

602
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: into a look inside the China cabinet, one of my

603
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: beloved futuretts. Here on the show, We've got a series

604
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: of stories that make it utterly indisputably clear that China

605
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: is fighting to surpass and suppress the United States all

606
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: over the globe and raping the globe as they go.

607
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: By the way environmentalists, they are unquestionably a potent force

608
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: for evil, working as hard as they can as we speak.

609
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a dangerous world to make as much

610
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: of the world fall under their spell as opposed to

611
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:44,440
