WEBVTT - The All Time Suckiest Suckage

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. How do you like

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>my garbage truck?

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 2>This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>That is Donald trumk Donald Trump in a garbage truck

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>yesterday in the Orange Vest. And that was that alone

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 1>before he did his rally in the Orange Vest which

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>we're about to play from. Was well, we got this text.

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Many of them like it. That garbage truck routine was

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the best political stunts I've ever seen. That

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>was good and well pulled off, good idea. I think

0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it landed it in every way. I would agree, regardless

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of the origin of the garbage phrase and apostrophes and

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>gaffs and or senility or whatever, if it creates enough

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>wind to blow this ship across the ocean, that wind

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is real. It doesn't matter if the origin was funky.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the great gaffs in political history. Now

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the media went out of its way to do the

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>whole It's a cliche. If you're into this, once you

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>become aware of it, it becomes so obvious and an omnipresent.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>But the whole Republicans pounce. Usually they use a different

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>version of Republicans pounce, They word it in a different way.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>David Muir ABC News last night actually led with I

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>think it was the first words out of his mouth,

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Republicans pouncing today on comments by Joe Biden. So if

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>it had been the other way around, it would been

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump calls half of Americans trash, and then you know,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>put the Republicans in the position of defending that. If

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a Democrat says it, it's Republicans pouts. They don't have

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to defend that. The Democrats don't have to defend it.

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way the Republicans are trying to use

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>something right. The discussion is about, indeed, the evil Republicans

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and how they're trying to exploit something usually unfairly. A

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>more direct and concrete example the headline for Days and

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Days and Days, Trump holds racist rally at Madison Square Garden, right,

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. Not and then when Biden says what he says,

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Republicans pounce, attempting to exploit Joe Biden's gaff that's funny

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>how you look at those things the sum total. In

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times of Politics yesterday, at rallies, Harris

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>stresses unity as Trump attacks Biden's garbage comment. So Trump's

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>attacking a comment, they're not having to defend it. Well,

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Harris is just stressing unity. Oh who's against unity? It's

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's it's amazing how far they're willing to go.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 1>It's oh, sorry, dropped my water bottle. Okay, right, Oh yeah,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I think so it remained closed. You got to do

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>an endorsement deal with that water bottle. That's amazing it

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>stayed closed. Anyway. So Trump does a rally last night.

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>He leaves the garbage vest on and starts talking about it.

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>At the rally. I'm in this beautiful plane.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm enjoying myself, have a wonderful suit on.

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>And one of my people came in.

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>He said, sir, you know, the word garbage is the

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>hottest thing right now, the hottest thing out there. Sir,

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 2>would you like to drive a garbage truck?

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the crowd reaction to that, and what a

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>great setup. The word garbage is the hottest thing right now.

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't need to explain the whole thing. He knows all

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the people in Marina are completely aware of it. Yeah,

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>that's fantastic. And then he tells this story, I climbed into.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>The truck, but he so, I said, how the hell

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 2>do you get into this truck?

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>It's way up high, it's a big way. This was

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a beauty. I said, you didn't have.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>To buy it that big, right, you have to get

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>it that big? And I said, man, this is bad

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>because now I have all the cameras or all what look,

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>look at all the fake news there were most of them.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>So I said, man, if I don't get up there,

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be very embarrassing.

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>He's stupid people.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>They'll say, he's cognitively and physically appeared. So look, so

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the stairs, the first stair is like up here.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, so, I had the adrenaline going, and

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I made it. I don't hear many politicians do that self,

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>deprecating about age, weight, his hair thing, the way he

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>does for all his vanity and everything like that. What

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>he talks about. I hope it's not windy, you know,

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I got that whole hair thing going, or talking about

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the vest that they said it makes you look thinner. Okay,

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>there's unquestionably a vein of hanger running through our politics

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>right now. But who's laughing, who's having fun? Where's the

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>actual joy? I don't think it's commless peeps. Oh, I

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>mean about fascists and Nazis. I watched this video like

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>twice last night. When he drops that S bomb, he said,

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>I look at that first step and I said S.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Everybody behind him threw back their heads in laughter, right right,

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>because it's real. I always remembered the one that made

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.799
<v Speaker 1>the biggest impression. This was way back in twenty sixteen

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>when he showed up to the big motorcycle rally in

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a limo and his suit, and he did the opposite

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>of what every single politician my whole adult life is done,

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>where they put on the motorcycle vest that somebody bought

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>for him and they ride in on her life if

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>they know how to, or on the back of one

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 1>if they don't, and you know, to be part of

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the crowd and their genes that are obviously brand new.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>He showed up in his suit and he said I

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>like motorcycles. I like limos, and the crowd howled with laughter,

0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>right right, Yeah, that is a good one. I know,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I know it's I was watching it just loving it, laughing.

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>I laughed out loud like it was a comedy routine,

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>like five times watching his setup to the whole Orange

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Vest thing, and I thought, man, there's so many people

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>that just hate him so much. There's no way they

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>could possibly enjoy this on any level. It's an odd comment,

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>but I've read a couple of my favorite thinkers making

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the same comment, and that is when we know the

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>result in retrospect, it's going to be so obvious how

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we got. Oh yeah, absolutely in either direction, which is

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.799
<v Speaker 1>a head scratcher. Yes it is. It doesn't make sense,

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>but either one wins. You could say, well, of course

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>half the country hates Trump, always has. He's never gotten

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>above of forty eight percent. Of course he lost, or

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the other way around, inflation, she's a dunce, etc. With

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.239
<v Speaker 1>no track records running on a fourth Obama term, nobody's

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>going to vote for that. Of courtine, fun and laughter

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>was on Trump's that's obvious that he pundit who said

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>otherwise is right. So we'll just all find out together,

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I hope Wednesday morning. Back to Biden's what is the

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>comment we got it there, Michael, the short version there

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Biden garbage I see flowed out there is his supporters.

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>You can hear the apostrophe. Yes, my headphones must not

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>be working. Didn't sound like an apostrophe to me, as

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Charlie she Cook of National Review tweeted out last night,

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I listened to it again. I think I heard an umlot.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Garbage I see flowed out there is his supporters.

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, anyway, whether this apostrophe or not, I was watching

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>one of my podcasts last night, this Democratic strategist, and

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he said, he said, I'm sorry to say this to

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>other Democrats, but we all know it's true. Whether he

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>meant it in that context or not, that is how

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>he feels about Trump supporters for real. He thinks they

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>have the garbagetic definition of a gaff accidentally saying what

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you really believe? Right. And Mark Alpern, who talks to

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>so many people, he said, every Democrat I know in

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>government feels that way about Trump supporters. They just do

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>so it. You know, if you have that level of

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>contempt for that voter, how does that sort of thing

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>not come out? You know, I'm a reasonably bright guy,

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>but that had escaped me. That is beautifully, simply, powerfully true.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>The reason it landed so fertilely is that it confirms

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>what is true, even if the old man misspoke. I mean,

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:44.479
<v Speaker 1>you can't portray a candidate as a racist, fascist, sexist

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>monster Hitler fan, but exact as followers from the accusation

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of being evil. I understand the people who support them

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.959
<v Speaker 1>are actually nice people. No, that math doesn't work. No, no,

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't have Hitler packing arenas, but distance put distance

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 1>between Hitler and the people who are following him. It

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>just yeah, it does not work, right' the good Germans argument.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're familiar with that part of history. Anyway, this

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I still say, And I got to work through my

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>memory banks. I mean, maybe somebody said something stupid in

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the Lincoln Douglas debates that I've forgotten, But I think

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>this may be the most impactful gaff in presidential campaign history.

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And as I've heard other people say, so, is it

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 1>still a mystery why Kamala doesn't have Biden on the

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>campaign trail with him? Oh? Yeah, Oh, I tell you

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>what is a mystery? Unless you had more to say

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>on that thing. If I got him, he's handed out

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>candy to babies for Halloween. I mean, he's not eating them.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>That's what got to me. Eats babies. That's my headline.

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Please walking dead, some beats babies. But if you get

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a mic in his face, he's gonna say something that's,

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, a forty eight hour news story. So you

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>got to keep on mind I go away from him.

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>They should lock him up. Yeah, it's gonna be more

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>than forty eight hours. People are going to be talking

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>about that waiting to vote on Tuesday. I guarant freaking

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>tee it. Speaking of mysteries, why the hell does Donald

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Jay not have Nicki Haley out campaigning for him. I

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's that, you know, there are many aspects of

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump's personality that are awful, awful, and he wins despite

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>many aspects of his personality. I think this is one

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of them where he's just so petulant about the fact

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that she ran against him, because it makes no political

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 1>sense whatsoever. She's saying nice things out there even at

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this linked date, and and she said the other day

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>she hasn't talked to him since June. They haven't had

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>a conversation since June. She's made clear in interviews that

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 1>she's willing to go out there and campaign for him,

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and he won't do it because he's petulant, because he's child.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>They furnish the campaign with a list of dates that

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 1>she'd be willing to travel in do campaign events. Yeah,

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>she is the perfect emissary to the undecided suburban woman,

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and because of his petulance, he wont to utilize. Oh yeah, yeah.

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>The whole argument that I keep hearing from strategists on

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC and CNN as they're trying to get the Nicki

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Haley voter. Kamala Harris is trying to get the Nicki

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Haley voter in the suburbs, those people that you don't

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>send Nicki Haley out to get the Nicki Haley voter.

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.319
<v Speaker 1>What's what's the best way to appeal to the Nicki

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Haley voter? Maybe with Nicki Haley and she wants to

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>do it, but because you're a child, you won't let

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>her go out there. Tell you what if we end

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>up with President Kamala, Oh shutter runs through everyone on

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>this Halloween. Yeah, that's the sound right there. But if

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>we end up with President Kamala, this will be his

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Hillary didn't go to Wisconsin. Ah, that's a good one.

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a good one, one hundred percent. It will live

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in infamy. It's embarrassingly dumb to not have Nicki Haley

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>in the suburbs of Detroit today. Sure, yeah, yeah, giving

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you talk about permission structure, giving all those people who

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>like Nicky Haley women the permission structure to vote for Trump.

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>But she is so articulate as a prosecutor of Kamala's

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>inadequacies and a grudging supporter of Trump's. Yeah, yeah, it's

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's ella fantine idiocy on Trump's part, sorry,

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and born out of just childish emotions. Struck. It's it's

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>very it's very magning. On the other hand, the dump

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>truck gag is one of the funniest and best political

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>uh stunts I've ever seen in my life. It's perfect.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>It was really good. What do you think of it?

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Text line four one five two KFTC. How do you

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>like my garbage truck?

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>This truck is an honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Up charge shuttles under this ball, but DoD dropshon Can

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez get to the back before the flow he dodges?

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>There are coal flows in a ground ball left side

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>will be with another break for away grand blead side rizzle.

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Nobody at first. Freddy Freeman on one too in the

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>center field of baser Tabo runs the score. The Dodgers

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of the bad defense from New York in

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the air to left center field. Judge on the run,

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>dead's sprinting out of the track that's over his head.

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Send a score, Freddie Freeman for the play, and this game.

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna turned upside down? Was that me in the outfield?

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>That was me as an eleven year old in the outfield?

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>The error after error compounded by mental errors by the Yankees.

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>They were If it was a high school team, there

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>would have been a serious chewing out of the defense.

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>That was awful. You fifth inning turned the whole game

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and won the series for La last night. You often

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.400
<v Speaker 1>here in Super Bowls, World Series, or whatever, it's a

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>shame either team has to lose. That wasn't a shame

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Yankees had to lose. They sucked. Nobody's ever sucked like

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that in one inning ever in the history of the

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>World Series. That was the all time suckiest suckage ever

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.040
<v Speaker 1>in the World Series. That's correct. It's been confirmed by

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>baseball historians. The only appropriate response, of course, torches city Boss.

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 3>This has really been sideways here in the last half hour.

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 3>It's been going on for at least thirty minutes. The

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 3>initial calls came in about thirty minutes ago. Reports are

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 3>four to five hundred people inside of this Nike flagship store.

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 3>It's a Jordan flagship store in downtown La at Broadway

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 3>in six. You can see thirty minutes later there are

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 3>still tons of shoes walking away. We're watching people going

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 3>in and out. As you have mentioned, there have been

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 3>a number of getaway vehicles waiting for the merchandise to

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 3>walk out. They stuffed the trunks, they get in the

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 3>car and they drive away.

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we call it what crime if you want, I

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>call it looting back, systemic racism or something. Oh boy, yeah,

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>which brings us to what this stuff actually is. It's portrayed,

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason by the media, is LA fan Dodgers

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>fans rioted last night, their enthusiasm God blah blah blah blah. No,

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>whenever there is a crowd, there are those who would

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>exploit it to commit crimes and commit mayhem. We saw

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it in the Black Lives Matter rallies and marches. Some

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of those people were just out there marching in favor

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>of what they thought was, you know, civil rights. It

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was actually in favor of Marxism. But the criminals and

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 1>scumbags exploit that and commit crimes and we let them

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 1>get away with it. Now, my whole life, I've never

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>understood why we taxpayers have to put up with if

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>our team wins, we let people set a bus on fire.

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going to cost a hundred thousand

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>dollary play one hundred thousand dollars of tax paramony to

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>replace a bus because you know, they get to do

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>that for some reason. What the hell More From KABC Michael,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it seems like.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 4>The celebrations definitely got out of hand last night, people

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 4>doing donuts, even setting an MTA bus on fire. I'll

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 4>step out the way because they're actually crews are here

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 4>trying to actually toe that bus from the scene here,

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 4>But there is debris all over the road here, and

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 4>a spokesperson for Metro tells Ewen as sneeze, a bus

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 4>operator and five people had to evacuate.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, people who are probably fearing for their lives.

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>In addition to the cost the taxpayers have to pay

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>for the bus. We just put up with it because

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>lawlessness is okay, I guess the celebrations got out of hand, okay?

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that what happened? It wouldn't be very hard to

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>make it clear going forward in all cities that you

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>don't do this, you'll spend so much time in jail

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>or get hit in the head so hard with a

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>stick or whatever it takes that you just don't do

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>it because you don't need to do it. It's not

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what's happened. Is there's this weird belief that you

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>need to have that happen. There's just no stopping it,

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 1>and there's zero chance to George Giscones of the world whatever,

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>prosecute the looters around right.

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 5>Hey, you guys see this today Arnold Hoarzenegger endorsed Vice

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 5>President Harris.

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Although everything Arnold says sort of sounds like Kama.

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.640
<v Speaker 6>Kammara, let's get to the kamala Kama.

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Is the orient omelet. What does he say out of

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 1>the the mont thermometer. I read that long piece from

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Schwarzenegger, all the stuff about how government sucks and

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>how much he hates politicians I really really liked. Then

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. Then I didn't quite get the turn toward

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris at the end. But boy, I read it

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and I had the same reaction. I was like, wait, wait, wait,

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>how did we get here? All right? Hey, we were

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>just talking about the riot in La that happened. No, no, no, no,

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this too good. Just real quickly

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>before we get back to that, this is Ai Arnold

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Schwarzenegger bringing it all together twelve Michael.

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 6>I was working in the lab the night when my

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 6>eyes beheld from a monster from his slab begin to rise,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 6>and suddenly, to my surprise, then.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's okay. So that's what's going to be in the

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 1>big T. Humanity is fire or the Internet to Arnold

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Schwarzenegger kind of be impersonated doing the monster mash. We're

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 1>thinking it it might replace the need for human beings

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>to work. But as it turns out, no, no, not

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 1>so much. Anyway, back to anger. So there was riding

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in La last night after the World Series because the

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers won, and then somehow society decided many decades ago

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that if your team wins or loses, as you point out,

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you get to destroy a whole bunch of public property

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that taxpayers pay for, and then private property that insurance

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 1>companies then cover and boosting up the price for all

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 1>of us. And we just decided that's okay. I hadn't

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I knew what had happened in La I read about it,

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>but I hadn't seen the picture. So I'm looking at

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys walking out of the Nike store with boxes

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>stacked upon boxes of new shoes because why shouldn't they

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.920
<v Speaker 1>get to steal shoes because the Dodgers won. They'll just

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 1>let them do it, I guess. And then all these

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.520
<v Speaker 1>cops gathered around all these people who are rioting, just

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.520
<v Speaker 1>letting them do it. I don't understand why. I'm a

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 1>law and order guy freaking bring them down. I don't

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 1>care what it takes. You don't get to do that.

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And then guess what, next time it doesn't happen because

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>people realize that they don't put up with that anymore.

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.120
<v Speaker 1>And then the bus, the bus covered in spray paint,

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 1>all the windows, bashed out, people on top of it,

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>setting it on fire. Why in the hell would society

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>put up with that? Tell you this NYPD cracked down

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>good and arrested a bunch of people after the rioting

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and the anti Semitic riots that happened last year or

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier this year, I guess it was and lost and

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>lots of those people sued for being maltreated or roughed

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 1>up or what have you. In the city settled with

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>him and wrote a ton of checks, and virtually nobody

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>was prosecuted. I feel like I feel like as a libertarian,

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, if I'm trying to destroy a city

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>bus that taxpayers paid for, a cop has every right

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to hit me in the head with a stick if

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he has to to get me to stop. After being

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>ordered to stop, I don't stop. I continue to destroy property.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Why why would society allow that? It's the overripe fruit,

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>It's the good times create soft people, the absence of

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.879
<v Speaker 1>realism in the midst of affluence. I don't know however

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to characterize it, but yeah, we've completely lost

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the very basic principles of what keeps order in a society.

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not some sort of you know, right wing

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.439
<v Speaker 1>lunatic or anything like that. I want fewer laws, but

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>just like good parenting, consistently enforced, study after study, shows,

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the field law enforcement, politics and policy

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>and that sort of thing. It's not the severity of

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a punishment that increases deterrence. It's the certainty of the

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>punishment that gives you deterrence. And we have gone in

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:32.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly the opposite direction as a society. I would feel

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>like there's almost zero chance I'm going to suffer any

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.680
<v Speaker 1>repercussions for doing any of that stuff in La zero smashing,

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 1>screaming at Jews, whatever the case may be, looting during

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a BLM oh BLM stands for by large mansions, somebody say, oh,

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I get it anyway, Yeah, what are you gonna do?

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 1>All right? Complete transition from anger to frighten scary Michael scary.

0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. I expected the other sound, but that's

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a good one. I like that scary. How many tiny

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 1>kit cats I ate last night? Good Lord, I'm not

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>going well. At least you're not eating babies like the

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>zombie President. I'm not going to tell you what this

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>article is about, because I like this opening so so much.

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:25.680
<v Speaker 1>It got me. Ever, use the office printer for your

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>kid's homework assignment, or your own resume, or just the

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 1>forms you needed for your dentist. There's not a chance. Ever,

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing I've ever used the office printer for. Literally,

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the only thing I've ever used the office

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 1>printer for is if I had to print out personal

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff and my printer's not working at home. You understand

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>this is being aired? Correct anyway, continuing me on, ever

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>scrolled Facebook Marketplace during an all hands a zoom meeting

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 1>that's turned boring, or Twitter or whatever. Fair warning your

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 1>employer may be paying close attention. The newest trend among

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 1>big companies on the hunt for efficiency that need to

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>pare down the workforce is firing people, busting them for

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 1>seemingly minor infractions, but by the letter of your employment agreement,

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>can result in termination. Oh so it gives them they

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 1>wanted to fire you anyway, Well, they need to fire somebody,

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>They need to fire people, and this gives them an

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 1>out where they probably don't know you severance and stuff. Yeah, correct, exactly.

0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like the death penalty for parking tickets of Corporate America.

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 1>There's this gal. She's the US director of Payhawk, which

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.880
<v Speaker 1>administers company credit card accounts and then watches for misuse.

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 1>She said, Oh, we've had lots of requests for new controls.

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.160
<v Speaker 1>For instance, clients ask Payhawk to restrict when and where

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 1>company cards work. Maybe you've got a lunch allowance can

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>only be used on weekdays between eleven and two, can

0:23:56.760 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>be used at Chipotle but not at Kroger whatever. Wow,

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. They're developing a feature that sends real time

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>spending alerts to corporate finance teams and allows them to

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:12.880
<v Speaker 1>instantly block suspicious transition transactions by employees. You know now

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that this is popping into my head. We're going to

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>get something a private version of the social credit score

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>that they have in China for companies, and so they'll

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>have all your entry, exit keyfob information. They'll have everywhere

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you've gone, because you've got the company phone, every single

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 1>place you've gone anyway, they'll have a database of reasons

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to fire you if they ever need to fire you.

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And then they don't have to pay a severance or

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>anything like that or giveing any kind of are any

0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of the rules that exist. They're out of it because

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 1>they got this is how many times you were late

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>coming in the door. This is how many times you

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.880
<v Speaker 1>were someplace you weren't supposed to be on company time.

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 1>This is how many times you use the copier for something,

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and they'll have all of that. There'll be enough to

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.080
<v Speaker 1>fire you whenever they want. It's like the social credit

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>score in China. I think you're absolutely right. A couple

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>more quick examples. Meta fired employees for spending their twenty

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>five dollars meal allowances on other items. Ernst and Young

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 1>dismissed workers who watched multiple training videos at the same time. Ah,

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>those idiotic corporate training videos that are merely so the

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 1>lawyers can say it's not our fault, we trained them. Yeah,

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and they know they're pointless. But if they need to

0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 1>get rid of you, then they can say, well, you

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>were supposed to watch it and you didn't, so we

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>got to let you go. And in a true sin

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>against humanity and decency, Target canned employees who jumped the

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 1>line to buy the coveted Big Stupid cups ahead of

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the general public the coveted Stanley water bottles. So anyway,

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:39.639
<v Speaker 1>the whole you can give the finger to your boss

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and kick them in is junk, and they can't fire

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 1>it because they're so desperate for workers. Phase of American

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:48.119

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>out a quick question before we get back to the content.

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Michael Katie, everybody think about what's your favorite scary movie?

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you listeners, also, you can text us. We'll get

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to that later, because I think that's what I'm gonna

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 1>do with my son, who feels like he's too old

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>for trigger treating. But we thought maybe we'd stay home

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and watch a scary movie. So what's your favorite. We'll

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.959
<v Speaker 1>get to that coming up. Oh yeah, I came across

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:38.399
<v Speaker 1>an interesting piece of psychology journalism. If you're one of

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.640
<v Speaker 1>those people who really likes horror movies, I do slasher

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>movies whatever. In fact, they relax you. Wow, Is there

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>something wrong with you? Clearly the answer is clearly yes,

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:52.920
<v Speaker 1>So stay tuned for that probably next hour.

0:27:53.520 --> 0:28:00.159
<v Speaker 7>So imagine being trapped underground in a coffin or a

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 7>union you want to get out of very similar scenarios.

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>This story is crazy and it is, among other things,

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 1>an indictment of And we haven't talked about this, and

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I've come across example after example, but it's a little dry.

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.919
<v Speaker 1>The National Labor Relations Board under Biden is so in

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 1>the bag for unions. I mean, it is a perverse law.

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>What's the office. It's not a law enforcement a labor

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement agency. It's a labor law breaking agency. They

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>are actively breaking the law. And this is from Hadley, Massachusetts.

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It's co written by a man and a woman who

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 1>work at the Trader Joe's in Hadley, and they write,

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>apparently it's okay to unionize, but not get rid of

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>our labor union. Here's the story. They both worked at

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Trader Joe's for ten years. In twenty twenty two, the

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 1>story became the first in the company to unionize. They

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 1>write both of us a post it, but we were outnumbered.

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Forty five of our fellow crew members voted to join

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Trader Joe's United, while thirty one of us voted against

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it and seven abstained. But the union wasn't what many

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of our coworkers expected. The officers basically selected themselves. Then

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 1>they delayed negotiations with Trader Joe's while forfeiting our annual

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 1>bonus retirement contribution. Amid growing discontent in the store, the

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>two of us attended a bargaining session in February twenty three,

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>which the union president invited all crew members to join.

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>We were shocked at what we saw. We thought the

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:32.320
<v Speaker 1>union would focus on things that matter, like wages and benefits. Instead,

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>union representatives negotiated over things like pronoun pins, which the

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 1>company already provides. They demanded that Trader Joe's cover abortion

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and gender affirming care what the company pronoun pin. The

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>company's response, the health plan already covers those things. Either

0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the union negotiators were embarrassingly uninformed or they were playing

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a political game with workers as the pawns. Either way,

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>our team deserved better. We wrote up what we saw

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>at the bargain session and posted it on the break room.

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 1>In the break room within hours, the union asked the

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>store captain to take it down. He refused. When we

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>showed up to the next bargaining session in April twenty three,

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>only for our own union to deny us entry and

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>ask security to escort us from the building. Why don't

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the people who have a legal duty to represent our

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 1>interests want us to see what they're saying and doing.

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Our frustration kept building, so last November, we told our

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:25.960
<v Speaker 1>fellow crew members we were gathering signatures to hold a

0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:29.360
<v Speaker 1>decertification election. We need the support of only thirty percent

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 1>of the bargaining unit to force a new election. We

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 1>thought this would be tough, since many of our colleagues

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>told us they were afraid of the union and its

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>reprisals and would sign only if we kept their names secret.

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, unions are nothing but wonderful for workers. Yet

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>by July of this year, forty six percent of our

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>coworkers had signed our petition. We felt we had a

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>real shot, especially since the majority of the crew members

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>who initially voted for unionization have left. They didn't like it,

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>they were unhappy, and they left. In July, we filed

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 1>our petition with the National Labor Relations Board. Two months later,

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 1>our hooks were dashed. The NLRB's regional director dismissed our

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>petition on grounds that Trader Joe's is under investigation for

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>unfair labor practices at our store. The company's accused of

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 1>everything from having a quote overly broad dress code to

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>giving one of our coworkers a quote negative appraisal. The

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 1>union has also claimed that managers in our store made threats,

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>though in our experience they did nothing of the kind.

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>The federal government told a little trader Joe's in Massachusetts.

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>You voted for a union. Now you can't vote it out.

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>We won't let you. Wow. Not very many people know

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the way it works. Yeah. Interesting, Well the unions

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>write them gigantic checks, you see, son, So I don't know,

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>go work at the Whole Foods or something. Sorry, what

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>scary movie should I watch? Stay tuned. It's hair. It

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 1>was perfect part of the song before we get any

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you're thing real quick. I just saw the funniest political

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 1>meme I've seen in a very long, very long time.

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's even funnier because it's from Tom Cotton, who's

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>not known for funny. Not really. No, it's a picture

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of Trump serving up the French fries and then Trump

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:19.479
<v Speaker 1>sitting in the garbage truck, and Cotton says, the Biden

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Harris economy is so bad that seniors have to work

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:25.400
<v Speaker 1>two jobs just to make ends meet. That's pretty funny.

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good. That is pretty good. So we're health

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 1>nuts here. At the Armstrong and Getty Show. Everyone who

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>listens knows, and we're a little concerned. On Halloween, you're

0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna beating so much candy you're not gonna get any roughage.

0:32:36.080 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So we're serving up on behalf of Kamala Harris some

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.000
<v Speaker 1>delicious word salad.

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 5>What I'm talking about doing right now is based on

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 5>long standing work. It's not new, but as President of

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 5>the United States, part of why it is important is

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 5>it is a new approach to that job that brings

0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 5>my commitment to the work I am talking about and

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 5>to being You cannot ever be burdened by other people's

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 5>limited ability to understand who you are like, don't let

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 5>their limited ability burden you about your own ability. You know,

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 5>we also have the honor and the duty of excelling

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 5>in every way possible, being able to see what is

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 5>possible and not be burdened by other people's limited ability

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 5>to see the same.

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 1>She almost was going to go into the unburdened by

0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>what has been, but she's been mocked so much for

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 1>that she knows that she shouldn't go there, so she

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>does a different wording of that. That's wild. She has

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a weird way of speaking that doesn't necessarily make her

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>dumb or anything like that, but she's got a weird

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 1>parenthetical tangential way of speaking where she just has trouble

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 1>getting to her points. I would say, if you are

0:33:56.600 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>limiting your vision of what you can be by other

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 1>people's opinions or something, she should not run for president. Yeah. Anyway,

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>if she gets elected, if she ends up winning, I

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>hope she can curb that to some extent, just because

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>it would be better for the country if she could

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.040
<v Speaker 1>speak more directly about you know, if the S go,

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 1>if the S hits the fan, which it very may

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 1>well in the next four years. Did you see I

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 1>saw the New York Times headline. I thought, Holy crap,

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.279
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe this is a headline. And then we

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't talk about this stuff. Some more headline in

0:34:29.520 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times. As I woke up this morning,

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:35.400
<v Speaker 1>as the chances of war with China increase, Hello, I

0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 1>mean hello, is right, And that's a heck of a

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>sentence to throw off as just kind of a oh,

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, is the chances with war between the

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>United States and China, the two most powerful economies on Earth,

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 1>the second, the first and third biggest nuclear arsenals on

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>earth as the chance of war between those two countries increases.

0:34:56.760 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Are we not talking about this more? Are just so

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.880
<v Speaker 1>busy these days prior to the election. I haven't gotten

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.520
<v Speaker 1>into a look inside the China cabinet, one of my

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 1>beloved futuretts. Here on the show, We've got a series

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of stories that make it utterly indisputably clear that China

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is fighting to surpass and suppress the United States all

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 1>over the globe and raping the globe as they go.

0:35:20.680 --> 0:35:27.280
<v Speaker 1>By the way environmentalists, they are unquestionably a potent force

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for evil, working as hard as they can as we speak.

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's a dangerous world to make as much

0:35:33.480 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of the world fall under their spell as opposed to

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Right awesome, through blackmail, debts, bullying, no

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>strings attached to bribery, they're efficient, among other things. An

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 1>hour three, we're going to talk scary movies in candy.

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 1>What candy you're handing out with the nerd cluster gummies

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.359
<v Speaker 1>being the hot candy of the season if you haven't

0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>had it during these anxious times, we're handing out zaz

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 1>ax at my house. Wow, that's probably a mission share

0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.319
<v Speaker 1>with one out of three kids suffering from anxiety. That's

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 1>probably just a kind thing to do if you miss

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.200
