WEBVTT - Spain is About To Get Messi! 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:11.440 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jettie 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:26.520 and he arms yet from the studio CE season your 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.280 a dimly lit room deep with them the bowels of 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.600 the Armstrong Ngetti Communications Compound. And today today, y'all, on 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.840 Little Friday, we are toiling under the title of the show. 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:41.120 If your election lasts more than four years, seek medical attention. 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.120 That's a good one, thank you. Or if you prefer, 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.000 Spain is about to get a little messy. 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.040 Oh you're really uncool, but so yeller that you bound 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.440 out of today. You come in with the A plus material. Yes, 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.880 how about that pass for me? 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.880 See on the second goal, the touch is stunning. Yeah, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.600 with supposedly his opposite foot. To kick that far that 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:15.240 fast and put it with that placement and running down 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.960 the field, it's just amazing. It reminds me of a 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.959 when an NBA player like drives hard into the lane 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.320 and then throws up that little tear drop shot. It's 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.480 it's speed and force then finis and there are a 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.200 few that can do it like that. That was something else. Yeah, 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:40.560 So we got final of Argentina Spain. Is that right, Yes, 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.440 that is correct. I'll be rooting hard for the Argentine side. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:50.760 Jack Javire Melai's boys embracing the free market as Britain crumbles. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.000 I mean it was there was no symbol there that 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.640 that Britain ruled. They ruled for a long time, and 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.760 but their weakness, their ultra, their lack of imagination, their 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.840 lack of dynamic play slash economy, dragged them down in 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.440 the end. It was a perfect metaphor. Yeah, kind of 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:12.400 a passive let's just hope things turn out. Okay, it's 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.400 sort of added ude. Yet they went into a socialist 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.239 game plan. They did nothing dynamic. They just kind of 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.160 took this. It just took their benefits and tried not 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.840 to give up a goal. I like that eat them 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.680 in the announcer. They're just taking their benefits, retiring early 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:35.520 exactly exactly. They're dependent. That's just terrible, expecting their health 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.360 care to be paid for by the taxpayer. Oh my gosh, 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.079 I was just reading some statistics about British healthcare. There's 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.400 something like forty percent of Brits are now doing their 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:49.680 own dentistry because the cant They're pulling their own teeth. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.880 Forty of Brits and pulling their own Wait a minute, now, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.840 I didn't say that, per se, but I won't. I 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.760 won't get those. I can't even remember what I've got 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:03.120 them somewhere. But oh my god, Oh it's shocking. Anybody 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.560 who wants universal healthcare Medicare for all, for instance, look 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.919 into what it looks like everywhere that tries it. I'm 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.880 not saying our system is good right now. Our system 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.679 is bizarre and broken right now. Reference to Jack's great 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.320 conversation with Greig Gotwaals while I was on vacation. But 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:21.959 the idea that do a need to move to a 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:29.360 British style system, You're an idiot. Yeah, So Trump's addressing 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.400 the nation to night, correct, that is correct. Yes, if 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.720 your election lasts more than four years, seek medical attention. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.200 And that's all about the twenty twenty election that he 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.840 says he's got new evidence that it was stolen or 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.320 any interference from other countries or something. Yeah. The preview 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:50.840 from the White House is essentially securing elections, how to 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.120 have good, secure elections going forward. And I think some 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.880 will have echoes of twenty twenty. Some actually is going 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.840 to be about, you know, foreign intelligent services efforts to 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.560 screw with us. Yeah. See Martin Mark Awprin's newsletter today 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.320 said you cannot underestimate how angry other Republicans are that 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.280 the President is digging this back up for a primetime 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:16.280 national address. Oh boy, oh boy, I'll bet that's true. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.760 Really well, of all the things, especially where the war's going. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.479 Got something on that in a second, especially with where 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.240 the war's going and everything else gonna get back into 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:32.040 the twenty twenty election. Really, that is really quite astounding. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.080 Here's the most interesting thing I've read today, Wall Street 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:40.600 Journal with a piece that basically says, the Pentagon is 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.159 telling the White House for us to open the Strait 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:49.680 of Hormuz would be very very difficult and very very costly. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.479 You're talking about a major ground operation with many losses 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.480 if you want to actually open the straight so ships 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.280 would feel comfortable enough to sail through there. Right. That's 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:09.560 that's the most stark presentation of that that i've heard reported. 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.800 It absolutely squares with everything I've heard and everything I know. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.280 But if that's if that's what they've been telling him 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.280 all along, oh my god, all this talk about the 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.719 strait is open or will open the strait or whatever. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.040 I think he's really been firing off his mouth without 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.680 there's since he's not even willing to go the length 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.400 he's talking about with the bombing, and maybe for good reason, 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.800 maybe you agree with that. But since he's not really 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.320 even willing to follow through with the like really really 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:42.160 heavy bombing, there's no way he's interested in a major 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.120 ground operation with heavy losses. We got to talk to 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.839 Mike Lyons. Let's let's see if we can. We should 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.560 based on the information. Yeah, yeah, I'm willing to put 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.920 aside the merits of any of this for the purpose 0:05:55.000 --> 0:06:02.239 of this discussion. I think we have to. It's unquestionable. 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:08.680 You can't completely suppress a regime, and it's you know, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.039 it's various proxies. Their ability to shoot a missile at 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.440 a ship. It's too easy, it's too cheap. It's like 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.599 me going to the store and buying a new driver. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.520 You can't eliminate that. You've got to eliminate their will 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.719 to use those weapons through total defeat or negotiation, neither 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.280 of which is seem has come about or come even close. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.560 Somebody tell me this is wrong. Trump has gotten himself 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.680 into a situation he has no idea how to get 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:44.000 out of. Is he aware of that? I think he is. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.400 I think that's the reason you're hearing all this ridiculous 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.160 bluster from him. He doesn't know what else to do, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.200 and I wouldn't know what to tell him to do, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.960 honestly at this point. The summary of the Wall Street 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.240 Journal piece about it today is the Pentagon has long 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.720 told the White House that's securing the Strait to safely 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:05.160 escort ships through tune is uh, somewhere between extremely dangerous 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:13.760 and totally impossible. Wow, that's a problem. That's uh, that's rough. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.760 I had I had been talking about this under the 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.920 assumption that it's it's doable. It'd be costly, but doable. 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:29.040 Sounds like it's costly is understating it, and barely doable 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.520 because it would take it take It would take so 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:37.560 little to disrupt shipping that you really would when that's 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.600 what the article says, You'd basically have to occupy that 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.840 half of Iran to be able to stop, you know, 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.920 any rogue person from firing a single rocket, because if 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.120 any rockets in any day, if you got one rocket 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.560 into the straight of day, ships ain't gonna go through 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.440 right right, all right, here's the new Iranian playbook. It 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.800 just unfolded in my mind. So the US grabs them 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.840 by the cards, uh, grabs like carg Island, their their 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.600 oil refining capacity. That that's a choke hold. Okay off 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.400 and they say, we give, we give, we've had enough. Uncle, 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.360 let us up and and and they suppressed the attacks 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.280 on the straight for a little bit, wait until the 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.880 heat is off. Then the attacks continue and they say, 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.200 golly gee, these are rogue elements and we could really 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.400 really really go after them if you want, but it's 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.319 gonna cost you. It's gonna cost you this, this and this, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.640 and they will get the concessions they want. They will 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.079 get the nuclear dogs pulled back. Maybe I don't know, 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.719 I've I've said several times the straight Orfward moves is 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.120 the new nuclear weapon. That's what they want control of. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:51.040 That's their the toe against anybody messing with them. And 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.640 then the minute they need it, they will start shooting 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.600 at chips again and say, gosh, dang it. Yeah, well 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.800 we'll go We'll please them even harder if you want, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.199 but we want this. I'm glad you brought up to 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.000 the rest of our lives by the way, enjoy because 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.360 I'd like to know if Mike Leons will say that's 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.520 absolutely true or say that's that's not true. Somebody is 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.160 spinning it that way because of who knows what. Because 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.240 if it is true that it's somewhere between extremely difficult 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.079 and impossible, it changes my entire view of this whole thing. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.839 That what I've been assuming all along. I thought it 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:29.360 was doable and costly, as opposed to barely doable and 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.880 the sort of cost that there's not a chance we're 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.720 willing to put up with. Well, that's second part I believe. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.800 I don't think it's undoable. Well, of course it's doable. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.320 We'd have to take over the country like a rack style, right. 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.400 That ain't gonna happen, right, So yeah, if you put 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:49.080 any reasonable parameters around it, yeah, it's it's it's undoable, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.880 close to undoable, given the American will for that sort 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.719 of fight, particularly over what we're talking about. I mean, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.360 if China had invaded California, well America might say you 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:06.559 canna have it, But I don't know. It's just so implausible. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.959 But if you know, if China tried to invade the 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.760 West Coast or something like that, we as a country 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.560 would go crazy and we would summon up the great 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.760 American will that's won many wars and struggles through the centuries. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:24.720 But for this right, we're gotter start the show officially. 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.679 Have more thoughts on that, and there's more information on that, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.480 But that's a man, that's a heck of a situation 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.520 we're in now and then, So with all that in 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.000 the background, tonight's speech is going to be about the 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.400 twenty twenty election. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.480 It is Thursday, July sixteenth, the year twenty twenty six. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.600 We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.440 Let's begin then officially, according to FCC rules and riggs, 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.840 here we go at Mark. That series sets Matsy driving again. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:11:07.640 Stop time, God, Entina, it just can you do it 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.920 one more time? For some reason, as a Chiefs fan, 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.079 it reminds me of that season where the Chiefs had 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.720 went wod They go sixteen and one, fell behind every 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.040 game and pulled a rabbit out of a hat every 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.480 single game, but didn't in the Super Bowl. Is Argentina 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:22.959 gonna be the same thing? Because can you pull a 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:26.200 rabbit out of the hat. Every single time you fall behind, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.520 you have to come from behind with magic goals and 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.360 then do it one more time for the championship. In 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.960 the knockout round, Argentina has scored nine of eleven goals 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.600 after the seventy fifth minute of play. That's amazing. Seventy 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.040 five ninety plus a few extra minutes. But yeah, that's amazing. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:50.079 That is incredible. Wow, it's fun to watch them. We've 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.040 got a lot to get to. We got some more headlines. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.400 I want to I really want to address this whole 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.560 issue of the twenty twenty election. And because I did 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:02.959 it on Twitter a little bit, got a lot of 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.880 pushback from a lot of you who can't believe, we believe. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.040 I'll talk with me with a single person identifier. You 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.240 can't believe that I believe that Trump actually lost. You 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.040 can't believe I'm so stupid to believe that Trump actually 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.839 lost the twenty twenty election. I want to revisit the 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.480 facts around their challenges in the courts and how it went. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.120 And if you've got pushback on that, fine, but I 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:30.599 can't imagine what it would be because he's going to 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.280 reliigate twenty twenty well, I don't want to Trump is 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.400 he's speaking to the nation about it tonight? Yeah, I know, 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.720 I know, man seem to talk about soccer more. Yeah, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:45.920 all right, we got a lot on the way to 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:56.000 stay here. So Trump is speaking from the East Room tonight, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.240 nine Eastern, six Pacific. That's the big ceremonial room room 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.559 usually used for nationally televised presidential speeches. You know the 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.480 look you can walking down the hall and he got 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.600 the flags behind you, So I mean it's he's treating 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.199 it like a big address. All the cable news channels 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.040 are expected to take it live. It's not known at 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.120 this moment whether ABC, CBS, NBC will take it live. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.599 They've not confirmed it. You know, they don't have to. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:27.520 The The White House generally asks for airtime, and the 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.800 networks generally give it because it's the President United Strates 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.400 addressing the nation. Since the topic is the twenty twenty election. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.040 I don't I've since the networks hate him, I would 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.520 think they'd want to take it just because it's kind 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.960 of ridiculous that this is what the topic is, as 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.920 opposed to ignore it. Although I guess their ultimate goal 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.320 is to make money and maybe they lose money by 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:57.080 not running their primetime shows. Right, yeah, definitely, So I'm sorry. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.559 Have you have you heard what the decision is from 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.280 most of them? No, they haven't announced that yet. The 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.839 table news channels will take it live, of course, because 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.199 they take you know, a guy who saw an alligator 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.080 walk across the road in South Florida. Look, I got 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:16.200 a video of it. Sure, but yeah, it's not known 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.880 yet whether the major networks will take it live. Right, 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.360 And so the guy who wants to be the new DNI, 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.400 remember Telsea Gabbert is out of the head of the 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.960 intelligence agencies, the new guy in there. He was getting 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.840 grilled yesterday for his confirmation hearing and they ask him 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.160 endlessly who won the election, and he would not answer 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:40.600 that question. So you know, you said, you're gonna bring 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:45.440 this back up again. Well, I don't know. The president's 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.880 speaking about it in prime time tonight and his new 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.080 DNI director wouldn't answer the question, and his confirmation hearing yesterday. Right, 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.120 we can get into this a little bit more later. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:15:00.840 But there's a new poll out and Trump's haunted instincts 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.800 they're not serving him well. His support among Republicans is 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:09.040 eroding pretty seriously. Among independents, that's kind of cratered. Democrats 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.920 are going to be Democrats. That's fine, But yeah, things 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.680 things are not going great. It's it's a it's a 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.360 rough patch for the White House right now. And will 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.040 tonight help or hurt? Who knows, We'll see, I guess. So. Yeah, 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.800 you had a couple of big hearings on the Hill 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:28.120 that Washington's obsessed with Todd blanche for Attorney General and 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.320 Jay Clayton for National Intelligence useless office. Probably that's who 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.840 I was. You had the back and forth, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.720 you had the back and forth on Ice traffic stops. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.600 We haven't really talked about this much because not because 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.040 of any particular loyalty you're having one side or the other. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.280 It's just that it's so hard to get the fact. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.040 You get a spin version from the administration, honestly, and 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.240 a couple of them have not panned out or even 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.760 close and are our good close friend Mark Wayne Mullen 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.800 said he was going to straighten all that out. And 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.840 then you've got the inevitable activist story that you know, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.160 Ice just busted into the house and shot people as 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.360 they were eating dinner, and that always turns out to 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:14.400 be completely fictional too. But the main shooting of that 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:19.200 young man who is here illegally lawfully or a primary 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.280 Maine with an E? Did I not pronounce the e 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.840 loudly enough? Maine? Anyway? Yeah, the state of Man. Did 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.520 you not hear my capital m The story from Maine 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.800 where the fellow from Columbia who was here lawfully and 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.800 working and had a little kid and all, and there 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.320 was a car chase of some sort and the the 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.480 ice guy said, I feared for public safety is why 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:45.080 I shot him. This doesn't mean it's not legit. But 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.840 that's not great. No, No, it's not. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:51.080 Yeah. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:55.800 Yeah, Royal waters for the Union right now, Jack and 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.280 the Democrats are holding up the defense appropriation that's always 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.440 been by Partisans to protest Iran. But it's leaving our 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.040 troops underpaid and undefended, and it's just terrible. And these 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.480 are ugly times and I hate it. Royal waters. You say, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.760 royal waters. We need a bridge over these royal waters. Okay, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.520 we got to get a little deeper on some of 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.520 these stories and some stuff you haven't heard about yet. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.480 That's a lot more fun, Strong and getty. Some more 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:24.399 political news. 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.159 Former President Joe Biden just announced that he's written a 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.680 book about his presidency that's coming out in November. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.600 Yep. The book was written by a ghostwriter, Joe Biden. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:36.840 It's the second book Biden has written. 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.000 The first was The Odyssey. 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.359 The book is about what Biden remembers from his presidency. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:44.840 So it's three pages. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.119 It's kind of a strange book because towards the end 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.800 it starts being written by Kamala Harris. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:18:00.520 Wow, those are pretty good jokes. But you know what's 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:07.080 interesting about that? If that's the mainstream doesn't get into 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:13.320 politics jokes the day the book is announced, what's it 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.480 gonna be like once it's been around for a while 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.920 and Joe's out there doing interviews and embarrassing himself again. Yeah, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.359 I know. It's just it's a ship of fools. It's 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.399 heading straight into disaster. There's just no way this can 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.600 go well. Reminds me of the Kamala book launch. Everybody 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.240 was snickering and laughing out loud before anybody'd read a page. Yeah, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.480 but you can believe that she wrote a book and 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.760 she's as sharp as she ever was, to whatever extent 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.520 that is for them. But Joe Biden, there's no way, 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.600 Joe Biden wrote a book, and he's two years further 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.840 down the line. He's gonna do a book tour and 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.960 do interviews, they said in November, two years further down 0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:55.640 the line than he was the last time you heard 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.080 him do lots of interviews. Where's it three years by 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.440 the time he gets around to it. We still have 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.280 the audio we played yesterday from the Yeah, oh yeah, 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:04.920 that's right, we should play that again. This is their 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.520 actual they put this out. Joe Biden's people put this 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.920 out as a promo piece and if this is the 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.200 best you could do with him and a studio and 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:14.119 multiple takes. 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.440 It's about the challenge we faced as a nation, about 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:27.879 the decisions I made, why I made them, leading the 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:32.320 country through COVID, we're building our economy and they're restoring 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:36.879 our democracy after the attack on January sixth, any in 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:43.959 our nation's longest war in Afganestania, and supporting Ukraine. That's 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.240 about why I chose to run for election and why 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.760 I chose to step aside. 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.359 Now that part we know, We figured that out in 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:57.159 the last thirty seconds. Yeah wow, wow, wow wow. I 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.600 think it's driven by one thing that broke the Biden 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:04.520 family is broken, and this is their last ditch effort 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.199 until Hunter decides to be a sculptor. This is their 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.840 last ditch effort to make any money. Doctor Jill's gonna 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:17.920 have to go back to working in the er. You 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.000 love that joke, and you know that the road is 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.360 over soon for that, so you've got to take advantage 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.640 of it. I know it's such a good road. I've 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:31.440 enjoyed it so much. Not a real doctor. So you 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:38.200 want to run for president? Do you? Gavin Newsom has 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.320 got a problem. Here's a fun name to say, Ruby Rippy, giveney. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.280 Just say it with me, Ruby Rippy. Give me Ruby Rippy, 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.840 Give me Ruby. It's fun. Anyway. She was the wife 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.359 of Gavin's best friend back in the day, who Gavin 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.000 Newsom had an affair with. And she's got a big 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.960 piece coming out in Vanity Fair, where apparently she is 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.120 going to tell her the whole story and all kinds 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:06.080 of ugly details and redig up that embarrassing chapter of 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.280 his life, which I would imagine is maybe, quite possibly, 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.120 almost certainly the most embarrassing chapter of his entire life. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.960 It erupted back in two thousand and seven when he 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.080 was mayor of San Francisco. It came out that he 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.480 was having an affair with her. She was involved in 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.000 his in city hall with something or other. He was 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:30.200 Gavin's campaign manager and longtime friend. The husband and Gavin 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.160 was having an affair with his wife, and Gavin said 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:36.400 at the time that it was a horrible personal lapse 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:38.720 of judgment, and he said, I want to make it 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.400 clear that everything you've heard about and read is true, 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.879 and I'm deeply sorry about that. That's the sort of 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.920 thing you say when you're mayor of San Francisco. That 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:48.439 is not the sort of thing you say when you're 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:51.679 running for president. Probably. I mean, when's the last time 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:55.119 you heard anybody say that. Yeah, I've heard all the rumors. 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.680 They're true. I did all those things. It is horrible. 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.359 I think that's smart. Well, people don't do it when 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:02.200 they running for president. 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:02.960 Yeah. 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:06.120 Yeah, It depends what the content is though. If she says, yeah, yeah, 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.520 we're both having troubles with our spouses and he's really 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.760 suave and we got together and I'm ashamed of it, 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:16.200 and blah blah blah. Okay, nobody's gonna care. We're all human, 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:21.800 we all short. Because con Man So the California Post 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.400 presented it as it's going to be a damning piece 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:28.600 that rejredges up an embarrassing instant incident. But they said 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.920 they don't know anything about the article on what she says. 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:36.640 So you're saying it's possibly a helps Gavin out, what's 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.840 it the old saying, Oh, hangs a lantern on it, 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.760 Hang a lantern on it, Hang a lantern on one 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.720 of his biggest personal crisises of his life. Early, get 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:48.680 the actual participantion participant out there saying, my husband and 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:52.040 I were barely of marriage at that point. It's a 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.000 catch and kill. It's just like the New York Times 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.879 with the Graham Platner, the rape, fake oysterman. Yeah. I 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.000 didn't even think about that possibility. But I'll bet your eyes. 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:02.399 I mean, Vanity Fair is not going to run a 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:07.520 hit piece on Gavin Newsom. No, no, you wouldn't think so. Well. 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:11.000 They have had some pretty good, fairly centrist articles of 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:12.760 like no, no, no, I'm sorry, I was thinking of 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:15.879 the Atlantic. No, Vanity Fair is shameless. Yeah, this is 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.400 this is a catch and kill. Okay, well, let's let's 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:23.560 get this. Let's get this out. Early, I made let's 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:27.080 publish this down before the primaries. Yeah, they're getting rid 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:31.440 of it. I was talking to a I don't know 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.760 his actual politics, but I assume because of where I 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.840 live that he's a lefty. I could be wrong, but 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:42.679 he thought he was really hoping Gavin Newsom runs for president, 0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:49.639 just so uh, all of this gets exposed and dooms 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.920 Gavin Newsom. The crime, the drug addicts in the streets 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:57.000 all over the place, the fraud, all that sort of 0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:01.680 stuff that maybe it wakes up California politics too, that 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.960 we can't keep doing it this way. I mean, a 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:08.080 guy tried to run for president on our state and 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.679 just got humiliated when people started looking at the tents 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:14.080 up and down the streets in Los Angeles and Sacramento 0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.840 and everywhere else. I have a featurette coming up later 0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:22.000 on in the show, just a review of how almost 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:27.360 hilariously incompetent LA has been dealing with bombs and junkies. 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.920 It's the numbers. They staggered the mind five years ago, 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:39.040
