I'll stay tuned for whatever the hell that is. Okay. 0:00:48.690 --> 0:00:51.010 So now, Katie, you need to... So this happened a 0:00:51.050 --> 0:00:55.170 few minutes ago. And I want you to start it 0:00:55.210 --> 0:00:58.250 the same way. And I want you, the listener, to react... 0:00:58.770 --> 0:01:03.400 You either understand what Katie's talking about or you're going 0:01:03.420 --> 0:01:05.060 to react the same way we did with what the 0:01:05.140 --> 0:01:05.899 F are you talking about? 0:01:05.980 --> 0:01:07.660 Do you want me to do the story or you 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:08.140 just want. 0:01:08.180 --> 0:01:11.980 What did you say that started this conversation? I think 0:01:12.020 --> 0:01:12.980 you asked the question. 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.820 I said you guys don't do the thank you carts 0:01:16.980 --> 0:01:18.959 for the delivery drivers during the holidays. 0:01:19.940 --> 0:01:21.780 Like Amazon drivers and. 0:01:21.830 --> 0:01:22.120 Yeah. 0:01:22.250 --> 0:01:22.910 No, you asked. 0:01:23.130 --> 0:01:26.270 You guys do the thank you carts and whatever you 0:01:26.310 --> 0:01:28.030 said for the Amazon drivers, right? 0:01:28.050 --> 0:01:28.869 Okay. 0:01:28.890 --> 0:01:31.730 We're like, what the hell are you talking about? Yeah. 0:01:32.030 --> 0:01:34.700 I don't understand how you. 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.080 You have like a cart or a little table that's 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.720 by your front door, and it has snacks and drinks 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.340 and all sorts of stuff, and it has a little 0:01:42.380 --> 0:01:43.540 thank you note attached to. 0:01:43.819 --> 0:01:45.560 For the probation.... 0:01:47.540 --> 0:01:51.060 People that are going out and making these deliveries from 0:01:51.100 --> 0:01:53.880 four o'clock in the morning job. 0:01:54.300 --> 0:01:56.610 So, no. So anyway, but neither one of us had 0:01:56.690 --> 0:01:57.830 ever heard of this. No. 0:01:57.860 --> 0:02:02.390 So, so either we're out of the loop and everybody is, is, 0:02:02.590 --> 0:02:04.990 is like you and saying the loop being society. 0:02:05.070 --> 0:02:05.670 How have you. 0:02:05.570 --> 0:02:08.650 Guys not heard of this? Or people are reacting the 0:02:08.669 --> 0:02:11.070 way we're reacting with like, who do you hang out 0:02:11.130 --> 0:02:13.850 with Katie? Who is, who's giving, setting out a cart 0:02:13.889 --> 0:02:15.649 full of treats for the Amazon driver. 0:02:16.669 --> 0:02:19.190 So the question is, how widespread is this? How long 0:02:19.230 --> 0:02:20.870 have you been doing that? Like a long time? 0:02:21.550 --> 0:02:23.530 I've done it for two years. 0:02:23.590 --> 0:02:26.820 My parents do it for the delivery drivers and for 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:27.780 the trash collectors. 0:02:27.900 --> 0:02:29.860 I've never heard of it ever in my life. 0:02:30.220 --> 0:02:33.600 So you moved from one hood to another. Did this 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.019 start in your new hood? No, it's just been a 0:02:37.060 --> 0:02:38.560 thing everywhere I've been. 0:02:39.060 --> 0:02:43.040 I haven't got the slightest idea which it is, which 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.419 of us are on the wrong end of this. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.880 I greet these guys with a warning shot, not treats 0:02:48.900 --> 0:02:50.760 and drinks. I check the batteries in my taser. 0:02:52.050 --> 0:02:53.410 It's pretty sweet when I would go over to my 0:02:53.430 --> 0:02:54.950 mom and dad's house before I did it on the 0:02:54.990 --> 0:02:55.270 way out. 0:02:55.310 --> 0:02:56.930 I'd be like, oh, yeah, there's snacks on the way 0:02:56.970 --> 0:03:02.650 out the door. And I'd take some. You're leaving snacks 0:03:02.710 --> 0:03:04.550 and tips and gifts, and then you have to give 0:03:04.570 --> 0:03:06.270 a foot rub sometimes if it looks like they've been 0:03:06.290 --> 0:03:08.510 working hard for the Amazon driver? Mm-hmm. 0:03:09.970 --> 0:03:12.620 Now, where do you stand on the holiday tip for 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.280 the mail carrier, Jack? Have you ever done that? No, 0:03:15.300 --> 0:03:19.130 I have not. Okay. See, I've got to admit, and 0:03:19.250 --> 0:03:23.250 that's edging close to the same thing. We have engaged 0:03:23.290 --> 0:03:23.700 in that. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.460 I've moved so many times. I don't know if I've 0:03:26.500 --> 0:03:28.360 ever lived anywhere long enough where I would have the 0:03:28.419 --> 0:03:30.000 slightest idea who my mail carrier was. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:31.880 I move a lot. 0:03:33.150 --> 0:03:36.590 On the lam, you know, trying to avoid the law. No, 0:03:36.650 --> 0:03:41.110 I've never even considered a tip for the person that 0:03:41.150 --> 0:03:43.630 works for the federal government and gets to retire before 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.960 me with full all kinds of health care. 0:03:46.620 --> 0:03:49.800 You're an angry man. Well, they took that job, I 0:03:49.820 --> 0:03:52.340 took this job. Are they tipping me? Are they leaving 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:53.020 tips for me? 0:03:53.220 --> 0:03:55.540 We each took jobs that pay a certain amount and 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.380 have certain benefits. 0:03:56.580 --> 0:03:57.200 You took that one. 0:03:57.250 --> 0:03:57.820 I took this one. 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.550 They took that one. They don't all tip. 0:03:59.810 --> 0:04:02.110 How do we decide which ones get treats at the 0:04:02.150 --> 0:04:05.190 door and which ones just do their job and save 0:04:05.270 --> 0:04:06.030 for their future? 0:04:06.350 --> 0:04:08.990 How do we make this decision? Hey, Michael, Ian, we're 0:04:09.010 --> 0:04:10.010 all going to turn on Jack. 0:04:10.030 --> 0:04:12.340 I'm happy to join in. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.140 Excellent. It's all coming together. I never understood this. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.580 And then eventually at some point society adjusts to where like... 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.940 Servers at restaurants, they don't get paid much with the 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.479 idea that you make tips. So there was an adjustment 0:04:28.500 --> 0:04:30.859 over time. But does that happen for mail. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:38.729 Carriers or Amazon drivers or whatever? Amazon drivers, yeah. There 0:04:38.770 --> 0:04:42.430 are different kinds of tips. There are tips that are 0:04:42.529 --> 0:04:46.430 sincere appreciation, which it sounds like Katie may be coming 0:04:46.470 --> 0:04:50.490 from that place. There are tips of please don't screw 0:04:50.529 --> 0:04:55.130 with me. I mean, that's like, and or, you know, 0:04:55.190 --> 0:04:56.950 if it comes to crunch time, maybe you could do 0:04:57.170 --> 0:05:00.310 the extra mile for me. Do me a little solid. 0:05:00.690 --> 0:05:05.360 Please don't screw with me as extortion. That's what that is. 0:05:05.500 --> 0:05:06.380 You could make that case. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.160 That's what the Soprano, that's what you're paying Pauly Walnuts for. 0:05:09.180 --> 0:05:11.539 It'd be a shame if something happened to your nice 0:05:11.620 --> 0:05:12.860 Amazon packages, huh? 0:05:13.860 --> 0:05:16.700 I was going to kind of flip on Jack for 0:05:16.740 --> 0:05:18.980 this whole attitude about it, but I do remember now 0:05:19.140 --> 0:05:21.640 that you did not tip the housekeeping when you sent 0:05:21.660 --> 0:05:23.700 them into the trash to get your clothes that you 0:05:23.740 --> 0:05:24.660 had thrown into the. 0:05:25.180 --> 0:05:28.140 Oh, that's right. God dang it. 0:05:28.140 --> 0:05:29.940 I'm never going to live that down. That will be 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.360 a big point of conversation at the family Christmas gathering 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:32.790 this year. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.690 It'll be in your obituary. 0:05:34.910 --> 0:05:37.010 How charitable were you this year, Jack? Well, let me 0:05:37.050 --> 0:05:37.310 tell you. 0:05:38.740 --> 0:05:41.599 Yeah, I can't. What, you'd soiled your pants or something 0:05:41.620 --> 0:05:43.640 and made the housekeeper dig them out? Or I can't 0:05:43.660 --> 0:05:44.240 remember the details. 0:05:44.260 --> 0:05:46.500 No, I always, I've been doing this my whole life, 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:47.460 and it's always worked. 0:05:48.490 --> 0:05:51.310 Throw your clothes in the garbage after one wearing because 0:05:51.330 --> 0:05:53.570 you're that wealthy. Because it's always worked. 0:05:53.610 --> 0:05:56.539 When I'm traveling, we put like our, now I do 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:57.980 it with the kids because I've always done it. You 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.520 put your dirty underwear and socks into the trash can 0:06:01.540 --> 0:06:03.700 because it's got that plastic bag in there. And then 0:06:03.740 --> 0:06:05.940 when you leave, you got the little bag, you seal 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.920 up your dirty clothes and put them in your suitcase 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.320 to travel back home. It's very handy. Well, this one time, 0:06:11.339 --> 0:06:14.140 I think my kids did this. They forgot or whatever. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.570 Where do you throw your garbage? There's like eight trash 0:06:17.620 --> 0:06:20.380 cans in every hotel room. So you've got a designated 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.740 underpants trash can. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.920 Okay. Yeah. That's totally normal. Go on. Well, it's always 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.900 worked for me perfectly. Well, what do you do with 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:27.960 your dirty socks and underwear? 0:06:27.980 --> 0:06:29.620 Do you just put them in your bag with your 0:06:29.660 --> 0:06:31.540 other stuff smelling everything up? 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.679 No, I use the laundry bag from the closet, generally speaking, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.320 although I keep them. So I always have a laundry 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.520 bag with me. Okay. 0:06:38.580 --> 0:06:40.219 So I use a different plastic bag. I use one 0:06:40.260 --> 0:06:42.360 from the trash can, which is already ready to go there. 0:06:42.380 --> 0:06:43.960 Your underpants trash can. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:45.420 Anyway. 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.020 So last year at the family Christmas gathering, the maid 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.980 service came and took it like it was trash because 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.520 it was in the trash can and threw it away. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.870 And I said, hey, that's like I went down to 0:06:57.890 --> 0:07:00.510 the front desk. I said, hey, there's like four days 0:07:00.529 --> 0:07:02.250 with the underwear, socks and T-shirts in there. 0:07:02.270 --> 0:07:03.070 Could I get that back? 0:07:03.550 --> 0:07:06.950 And they had some poor immigrant crawl through the garbage 0:07:07.010 --> 0:07:11.170 to get my underwear. Rich man's underwear. I had thrown 0:07:11.210 --> 0:07:14.300 into the trash. They hadn't made a mistake. I apparently had. 0:07:14.850 --> 0:07:16.690 And they had to dig through and get the stuff. 0:07:16.810 --> 0:07:18.350 I didn't make them do that. I just said it'd 0:07:18.370 --> 0:07:20.410 be nice if you could. I actually ask, like, if 0:07:20.470 --> 0:07:22.970 it hasn't already gone to the trash, if it's just 0:07:23.030 --> 0:07:25.410 like with the main person on floor two, can I 0:07:25.450 --> 0:07:26.310 go get that back? 0:07:26.390 --> 0:07:29.010 Yeah, and of course you left a really nice tip 0:07:29.050 --> 0:07:29.929 for all of their effort. 0:07:30.970 --> 0:07:32.250 I don't think I could or did. 0:07:32.270 --> 0:07:34.850 No, they have a job and I have a job. 0:07:35.490 --> 0:07:37.870 They shouldn't take that job if they don't want that 0:07:37.910 --> 0:07:42.170 job because I got a job. Should have chewed them out. 0:07:42.190 --> 0:07:51.420 Tell them what time it is. Oh, my God. This 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:58.390 is shocking. Shocking and disappointing. So, Katie, you leave out snacks. Yeah, 0:07:58.430 --> 0:07:59.290 it's just a little. 0:07:59.310 --> 0:08:02.060 I mean, it's like. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.400 Does this attract animals or other undesirable people that you 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:05.900 don't want? 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:06.480 No. 0:08:06.900 --> 0:08:09.140 First of all, I don't leave them out overnight, so 0:08:09.180 --> 0:08:11.280 there aren't going to be any trash pandas dealing with 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.250 it in the morning, but no. I don't get bums 0:08:14.330 --> 0:08:15.890 coming up and taking the Cheez-Its. 0:08:16.290 --> 0:08:20.530 I always wonder about stuff like this, how you, you know, 0:08:20.570 --> 0:08:23.240 the whole bubble thing, you're bubbled. So I'm in a 0:08:23.310 --> 0:08:25.940 bubble where nobody's ever discussed this or brought it up 0:08:25.980 --> 0:08:28.040 or anything like that. And you're in a bubble where 0:08:28.100 --> 0:08:30.960 people talk about it and it's normal. I mean, because 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.620 I was completely unaware, like completely. There are some things 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.069 that people tip for I'm aware of but choose not 0:08:37.110 --> 0:08:40.210 to do. But this one I didn't, wasn't on my 0:08:40.270 --> 0:08:40.710 radar at all. 0:08:41.340 --> 0:08:43.400 I got a vague memory of my wife putting out, like, 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.040 candy canes for people. For the Amazon driver? No, I 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.939 can't remember. But anyway, so do what you think is appropriate, folks. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.780 And have you heard of this? Do you do this? 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.579 Mailbag at armstrongandgetty.com. It's the email address. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.089 How common is the garbage man thing? I think a 0:09:00.150 --> 0:09:01.990 lot of these people have better jobs than you do. 0:09:02.110 --> 0:09:03.470 Whoever you are, you're tipping them. 0:09:04.010 --> 0:09:06.790 Tipping the garbage man? Yeah. So they don't throw your 0:09:06.809 --> 0:09:09.190 garbage all over your lawn. Well, that's extortion! 0:09:09.470 --> 0:09:13.670 So if the only reason you're doing it is because 0:09:13.690 --> 0:09:16.250 to get the service that you're supposed to get, what 0:09:16.290 --> 0:09:17.670 kind of agreement is that? 0:09:18.030 --> 0:09:20.990 I tell you what, I played a lot of guitar yesterday. 0:09:22.290 --> 0:09:24.730 Plucking you is like plucking a G-string. You know you're 0:09:24.750 --> 0:09:25.410 going to get a G. 0:09:25.850 --> 0:09:28.670 It was just, God, I saw you just wind up 0:09:28.990 --> 0:09:29.690 and bam! 0:09:29.710 --> 0:09:35.449 Oh! Oh, my God. Like a fatal jack. 0:09:35.470 --> 0:09:35.830 Okay. 0:09:37.110 --> 0:09:39.350 All right. You know what we have to get to 0:09:39.470 --> 0:09:45.750 is young lunatic leftist women. It seems like every day 0:09:45.809 --> 0:09:47.910 more and more video comes out of people like this. 0:09:47.970 --> 0:09:52.110 I mean, they're so angry and so troubled. It's kind 0:09:52.150 --> 0:09:55.590 of amusing in a way, but kind of not. Oh, 0:09:55.730 --> 0:09:58.709 and speaking of Amazon, let me hit this really quickly. 0:09:58.890 --> 0:10:00.469 Or go ahead. Did you have a comment? on that first? 0:10:00.510 --> 0:10:02.880 I need to prepare you for what might happen tomorrow 0:10:03.010 --> 0:10:06.100 so that you're not catatonic on Wednesday or Tuesday night. 0:10:06.540 --> 0:10:09.540 I hate to be catatonic. And I can give you 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.740 the very short version of this, but shopping bots are 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.880 coming for Amazon. I tell my bot, and they mentioned 0:10:17.950 --> 0:10:22.230 the meta one that's fairly popular, Muse. And there have 0:10:22.270 --> 0:10:25.410 been some fairly funny examples of it, like does unauthorized 0:10:25.470 --> 0:10:28.929 stuff and buys stuff you don't want and goes off 0:10:28.970 --> 0:10:33.090 the reservation. But they'll perfect them more, I think. But anyway, 0:10:33.550 --> 0:10:36.429 I would say to Muse, hey, Muse, what did I 0:10:36.429 --> 0:10:40.680 just buy? Get me some liquid IV at the best 0:10:40.780 --> 0:10:44.660 price possible. The lemon lime and the fruit punch flavor, please. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.949 One package each. And it would do it. I wouldn't 0:10:46.970 --> 0:10:50.170 have to go on Amazon and scroll through and stuff. 0:10:50.309 --> 0:10:54.580 And Amazon, big part of Amazon, $ 70 billion last year 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.380 was ad revenue. Because you're scrolling and you're looking and 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.600 you're seeing the ads. Not to mention your featured product. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.870 Why are they featuring that one? Because it's the best 0:11:03.929 --> 0:11:04.970 one for me, I hope so. 0:11:05.630 --> 0:11:07.729 They may have screwed themselves the same way Google did. 0:11:08.130 --> 0:11:11.020 So Google got worse and worse over the years. And 0:11:11.059 --> 0:11:13.939 then when AI came along, Chat bots for a lot 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.660 of us was like, oh, this is like Google used 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.840 to be asking a question and gives me the answer 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.819 and not 15 ads or sponsored or blah, blah, blah. 0:11:21.300 --> 0:11:24.060 Amazon might be in the same situation. Something will come 0:11:24.100 --> 0:11:25.920 along and be like, oh, this is like Amazon used 0:11:25.950 --> 0:11:28.090 to be. If I search on number two pencils, you 0:11:28.130 --> 0:11:30.170 don't give me a whole bunch of other products up front. 0:11:30.210 --> 0:11:32.790 I got to scroll for for two minutes to get 0:11:32.830 --> 0:11:35.910 to what I searched. So they may they may be doing, 0:11:35.929 --> 0:11:37.270 you know, dooming themselves. 0:11:37.770 --> 0:11:42.620 Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. For everything, there is a season, 0:11:42.660 --> 0:11:44.470 and it's getting shorter and shorter in tech. 0:11:44.630 --> 0:11:48.429 It's not an accident that the word sponsored is in tiny, tiny, 0:11:48.850 --> 0:11:55.660 not as bright, dark letters. It's faded, gray, tiny, says 0:11:55.700 --> 0:11:57.660 sponsored on the thing you searched on. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.700 Yeah, yeah. And when my chatbot or my agent does 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.080 get me my liquid IV, I always tip it a Bitcoin, 0:12:04.100 --> 0:12:05.590 because that's just a decent thing. 0:12:05.610 --> 0:12:11.160 Why, you tip your chatbots. Katie probably does. Tips the chatbots. 0:12:11.220 --> 0:12:13.540 Leaves out Cheez-Its. It's the holiday season, guys. 0:12:13.700 --> 0:12:16.260 Come on. I do enjoy a Cheez-It now and again. 0:12:16.540 --> 0:12:18.260 I want to tell you about our friends at Warrior 0:12:18.300 --> 0:12:22.100 Foundation Freedom Station. This Thursday, November 5th, is the annual 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.579 Warrior Foundation Freedom Station Give-A-Thon for more than 20 years. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.300 This effort has helped provide flights home for ill and 0:12:28.340 --> 0:12:31.839 injured warriors during the holidays because after everything they've sacrificed 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.480 for our country, being with family during the holidays shouldn't 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:35.260 be out of reach. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.320 And your tax-deductible donation is more than a gift. It's 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.880 a heartfelt way to say thank you to the men 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.240 and women who've served and sacrificed so much and who 0:12:42.260 --> 0:12:44.970 would never ask for help, but you can help them. 0:12:45.070 --> 0:12:46.729 And this year, your support does even more. If a 0:12:46.770 --> 0:12:49.329 warrior isn't able to travel, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station helps 0:12:49.370 --> 0:12:52.130 bring their loved ones to them so families can still 0:12:52.150 --> 0:12:53.150 spend the holidays together. 0:12:53.590 --> 0:12:55.980 For over a decade, folks have been donating and making 0:12:56.010 --> 0:12:58.500 this mission possible. And for that, we thank you. This Thursday, 0:12:58.540 --> 0:13:00.280 help bring a warrior home for the holidays. To make 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:06.980 a tax-deductible donation, call 619-WARRIOR. That's 619-WARRIOR. Or visit warriorfoundation.org. 0:13:07.020 --> 0:13:08.679 Make sure you get the name right. It's not like 0:13:08.700 --> 0:13:12.150 that similar named organization. Warriorfoundation.org. 0:13:12.450 --> 0:13:16.150 I'm going to emotionally prepare you for what might be 0:13:16.190 --> 0:13:20.690 happening tomorrow. And I think that'll be helpful. Among all 0:13:20.710 --> 0:13:23.130 the things Joe also mentioned on the way. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.700 Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:28.220 --> 0:13:31.180 Scientists studying Vincent Van Gogh's starry night now believe that 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.160 it wasn't a product of his imagination, but the actual 0:13:34.270 --> 0:13:38.010 sky he saw one night in 1889. And I think 0:13:38.050 --> 0:13:41.070 if Van Gogh were alive today, he'd say, what? 0:13:43.850 --> 0:13:51.080 It's an air joke. So I came across this Haley Stevens. 0:13:51.140 --> 0:13:54.679 She's she's the Michigan Democrat who ran against El Sayed, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.890 barely lost. And then yesterday announced she's voting for the 0:13:57.929 --> 0:14:00.870 Republican Mike Rogers. Either know that story or don't. Anyway, 0:14:00.970 --> 0:14:03.630 I came across this wide world of news. If you 0:14:03.670 --> 0:14:07.150 have not watched Haley Stevens interview with Anderson Cooper from 0:14:07.250 --> 0:14:10.100 Sunday night, please do. Do you want to see how scattered, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.940 unprincipled and absurd a figure she is right now? And 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.040 I watched about a third of it. It's 15 minutes long. 0:14:16.250 --> 0:14:18.970 Don't lift her up as some sort of hero, Republicans. 0:14:19.350 --> 0:14:23.000 She is, I don't know what she is, not the 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.780 brightest bulb, I would say, at the very least. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.300 She's a multi-term Democratic congresswoman from Michigan, Jack. 0:14:29.700 --> 0:14:33.280 Okay, well, that doesn't go against not being the brightest bulb. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.930 Right, no kidding. I don't know what pushed her over 0:14:36.970 --> 0:14:39.170 the edge. I mean, I know what she says, but 0:14:39.370 --> 0:14:43.660 who knows? Anyway. Yeah, I've heard the interview described as painful. 0:14:44.110 --> 0:14:47.490 It is. I watched some of it. It's 15 minutes long, 0:14:47.530 --> 0:14:54.730 but man, it's not good. So, before Trump got re-elected, 0:14:55.190 --> 0:15:01.200 and the biggest upset in maybe the history of politics 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.330 going back to the Greeks... Trump winning again, the only 0:15:05.890 --> 0:15:08.650 person out there who wasn't just a rah, rah, rah, 0:15:08.690 --> 0:15:12.820 always rooting for your side person in media that was saying, hey, 0:15:13.350 --> 0:15:15.990 don't be surprised if Trump wins was Mark Halperin. He 0:15:16.010 --> 0:15:19.200 was saying regularly, look, I know what the polls are 0:15:19.220 --> 0:15:22.979 showing and what you're talking about, but everybody I'm talking to, 0:15:23.180 --> 0:15:26.340 all their internal polls say Trump's got a decent chance 0:15:26.380 --> 0:15:28.680 of winning all seven swing states. He was the only 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.420 person I knew, again, that was like, you know, trying 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.580 to be a fair broker. saying that, and then Trump 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:38.180 won all seven swing states. Well, Halperin's saying basically the 0:15:38.220 --> 0:15:40.700 same thing again, and he's been going on and on 0:15:40.740 --> 0:15:43.220 for the last several days saying, because he gets beat 0:15:43.260 --> 0:15:45.080 up for this a lot, I'm not rooting for anybody, 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.060 I'm not predicting anything, I'm just telling you, all I'm 0:15:48.100 --> 0:15:52.600 doing is reporting what? sources are calling me and telling me. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.820 And he says that the Republican pollsters, the internal polling, 0:15:58.220 --> 0:16:02.290 which is more accurate than any public polling is telling 0:16:02.370 --> 0:16:05.490 him that there has been movement in the last week 0:16:05.530 --> 0:16:08.450 or so, all of it toward the blue. And there 0:16:08.490 --> 0:16:12.550 is a decent chance of a generationally large blue tsunami 0:16:13.700 --> 0:16:18.220 hitting tomorrow in which there is, um, I'll read, I'll 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:25.530 read it from his newsletter. Uh, Um, let me be 0:16:25.550 --> 0:16:27.220 the first to tell you that it is possible. He 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:32.440 puts possible in all capitals. Not, you know, because when 0:16:32.460 --> 0:16:34.880 you got close races, anything could happen. You never know 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.380 what turnout is going to be or anything like that. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.800 But it is possible and not just possible like that. 0:16:38.860 --> 0:16:40.820 Anything is possible. I could get hit with a meter today. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.620 It's like within the realm of serious possibility. It's like 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.160 reasonable doubt in the courtroom. 0:16:45.210 --> 0:16:45.420 Yeah. 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.470 The Democrats end up with a filibuster proof 60 votes 0:16:48.530 --> 0:16:49.050 in the Senate. 0:16:49.550 --> 0:16:49.810 What? 0:16:50.430 --> 0:16:53.990 And that the Republican or the they pick up a 0:16:54.030 --> 0:16:56.670 huge number of House votes. That is like really for 0:16:56.750 --> 0:17:00.120 real within the realm of possibility based on the internal 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.100 polling that he's been getting from the Republican campaigns. 0:17:05.430 --> 0:17:07.870 Wow that's not the most turning on trump is going 0:17:07.910 --> 0:17:12.500 to be unbelievable among republicans that was his point really 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.719 is the what would the outcome of this would be 0:17:15.940 --> 0:17:19.680 really something i mean when moving pieces. 0:17:19.420 --> 0:17:24.330 Of he thinks uh uh both the current leader of 0:17:24.369 --> 0:17:28.320 the house mike johnson and um the Republican in the 0:17:28.340 --> 0:17:30.439 Senate would both have to step down and blah, blah, blah. 0:17:30.460 --> 0:17:32.730 There'd be all kinds of different stuff. But so just 0:17:32.869 --> 0:17:35.330 throwing it out there that don't be shocked if that 0:17:35.369 --> 0:17:36.090 happens tomorrow. 0:17:37.550 --> 0:17:38.850 Right. Wow. 0:17:39.109 --> 0:17:41.590 And would it, would it, would it be shocking to 0:17:41.650 --> 0:17:45.250 you given the current climate price of gas price of 0:17:45.310 --> 0:17:48.270 diesel and popularity of the war? A lot of things. 0:17:48.310 --> 0:17:50.070 Trump has said the tariffs, lots. 0:17:49.910 --> 0:17:50.580 Of different things. 0:17:50.890 --> 0:17:52.780 Ice. It wouldn't be shocking. 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.340 It wouldn't be inexplicable. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.520 It is bizarre and unwise to look to the Democrats 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.770 to solve that stuff. Of course. But it's also the 0:18:02.810 --> 0:18:06.850 way politics works. So, yeah. Oh, boy. Well, isn't that exciting? 0:18:07.170 --> 0:18:10.109 Yeah. Just trying to be emotionally prepared for the possibility. 0:18:12.130 --> 0:18:13.320 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:15.120 What? 0:18:15.420 --> 0:18:18.460 I asked you what? No, this is f * * * 0:18:18.300 --> 0:18:22.940 ing stupid, bro. No, no, we're done with the conversation. 0:18:23.020 --> 0:18:25.760 We're done with the conversation. 0:18:25.780 --> 0:18:27.379 Where's your f * * * ing permit? 0:18:27.420 --> 0:18:29.340 Where's your f * * * ing permit, bro? 0:18:29.380 --> 0:18:30.120 I didn't smack you. 0:18:30.260 --> 0:18:30.619 Yes, bro. 0:18:30.660 --> 0:18:33.139 You want to victimize yourself as a fully grown man. 0:18:33.220 --> 0:18:34.590 I have it on camera. 0:18:34.619 --> 0:18:36.050 I have it on camera. Oh, my God. Do you 0:18:36.070 --> 0:18:38.170 want to arrest me? Like, did you just see that? 0:18:38.210 --> 0:18:40.170 I have it on camera. Okay. All right, so that's 0:18:40.210 --> 0:18:44.610 an unhinged University of Michigan female student who went to 0:18:44.710 --> 0:18:49.980 a table of a conservative organization. And attacked them verbally, 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.840 then physically, then denied it and screeched all sorts of 0:18:53.980 --> 0:18:55.410 lunatic things like this. 0:18:56.630 --> 0:18:59.330 The anti-Muslim people here who want to say I put 0:18:59.369 --> 0:19:00.310 a hand on him, bro. 0:19:00.430 --> 0:19:01.450 I can, you can. 0:19:01.540 --> 0:19:03.320 She couldn't go in public in Iran. 0:19:03.460 --> 0:19:05.179 She'd have to cover up. 0:19:05.260 --> 0:19:05.600 Am I wrong? 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.740 If she walked around like this in Iran, what would happen? 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.780
