WEBVTT - I Ordered A Sandwich & Got A Bowl Of Mustard 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.840 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.400 George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:33.440 Armstrong and Joy and he Armsrong live from Studio C. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.800 See signor a Category six swirl of information coming your 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.480 way from the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And today 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.720 we're under the tutelage of our general manager. What's the 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.720 hurricanes name again, Milton Milton. I ken't want him to 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:52.440 say Winston. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.040 Winston would be a stupid name for a hurricane. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.319 That's the several hurricanes in the future. Milton is our 0:00:58.360 --> 0:00:59.800 general manager. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:00.400 Right. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.760 We are a Category six interimation storm, but we are. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:09.440 Expected to weakened quickly. We will. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.600 That's we will weaken by landfall, no doubt about it. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.039 That is funny. Yeah, some of us are starting off 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.520 a tad week. We will forge ahead. 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:19.680 Yeah. 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.440 I like the back and forth between DeSantis and Kamala Harris. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:24.280 I'm enjoying that. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.760 We'll have to play some of those clips a little 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.960 bit later. It's just it's kind of fuck phony, load 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:33.840 of hooey. Well, it's kind of funny because he clapped 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.720 back at her and she accused him of politicizing the hurricane, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.280 and he said, look, you're the vice president. Why would 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.520 I talk to you. You've never called before for any hurricanes. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.840 Of course she doesn't. The vice president doesn't call you 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.560 when there's a hurricane. The president might, the vice president 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.280 doesn't unless you're a candidate. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.080 So who's politicizing it? I mean, that's just kind of funny. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.880 Go get her, Go get her, Ronnie. I thought that 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:58.840 was a good response. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.400 She's never called me for any of the other hurricanes 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.120 over the last three and a half years. Oh, I 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.760 love that. Why would she if somebody said the vice 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.200 president's on the phone? Okay, well, maybe somebody ought to 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.800 be put in charge of hurricane response so it goes 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.280 better in the future. The more I learned, the more 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.920 I convinced I am that it's just floundering. Yeah, general 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.839 government is just floundering. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:23.160 I know. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.640 So I was. I heard a clip on the way in, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.880 and I well, I have a knee jerk. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.120 I've always had a knee jerk reaction to any of 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.040 these evacuate orders, just because the idea of the government 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.560 telling me I got to leave my home rubs me 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.720 the wrong way. I mean, just as much as anything 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.040 could rub me the wrong way in general, and then 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.640 you combine that with what are your other examples of 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.720 you being right and doing a good job? The response 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.520 to the last hurricane, how about the entire freaking pandemic. 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.760 How about making me eat saturated fat instead of eggs 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.840 as a kid. I mean, just endless examples of you 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.040 being so wrong. And now you're telling me to leave 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.520 my home behind so looters can have it. I'm not, 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.480 you know, and I'm I think in this case they're 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.240 probably right in the mayor saying you're gonna die if 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.639 you stay in that sort of sort, But the way 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.440 they come off, it's a we're the government, we know 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.080 when you're surrounded by examples of you not knowing that 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.680 are neck deep. Oh yeah, whether you know the question 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.079 in this case they might be right is kind of irrelevant. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.079 It's just if you have information for me, any recommendation, 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.240 I have no problem with receiving that. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.080 But yeah, don't come off as so high handed and authority. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:37.960 Are you the same people that said I got to 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.000 stand six feet apart and then we found out that 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.160 didn't mean anything, and you kept schools closed claiming this. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.080 I mean, you just there's all kinds of emergency things you. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.160 Covered for the Chinese communists because you hate Trump and 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.080 doctor Fauci something something. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.760 Yeah, yeah, you people are ridiculous. 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.320 You know what I had forgotten? And I want to 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.960 get off on this tangent. But I was listening to 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.240 a podcast the other day about experts. This is what 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.120 I'm complaining about right now because it came up in 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.120 the vice presidential debate, jd Vance being for the crowd 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.280 like me that don't believe in experts, and the response 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.720 to that is, oh, you will go to a brain surgeon. Well, yeah, 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.720 of course I believe a brain surgeon is an expert. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.560 But anything about the economy school from age four to 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:22.200 twenty four, the endless examples of no, I don't believe 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:27.240 the experts at freaking all. But one of the examples 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.159 who came up in this discussion about it was when 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.440 none of us could leave our homes, our kids couldn't 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.400 play in the park nearby, all that sort of stuff. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.560 Then George Floyd gets killed and you're allowed to ride 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.160 in the street, and they claimed that racism was a 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:46.000 health concern. Racism was a health concern. That was really 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.280 the end of I mean, come on, shut up. I 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.440 don't want to hear it maturing logic, like it was 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.120 a heretic in the Middle Ages. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.240 Yeah, cut it out. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.279 And then, like you just said to open with the 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.880 hurricane response, the same people are telling me we absolutely 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:01.400 know what this is going to be, like you need 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.640 to leave. Are the same people that are handling the 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.000 response so poorly? 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:05.880 Sound right? 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:06.680 You know? 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.080 Come on. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.120 The one part that really got to me was the timetable. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.279 And I had been looking for this and unable to 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:21.839 find it. So six days after Helene madelandfall, six days later, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.120 the Defense Department announced a thousand troops had been authorized 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.560 to deploy to the hurricane response zone. Okay, six days later, 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:34.400 as evening fell on Friday the fourth, which was two 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.279 days after that, that's day eight. Fewer than half of 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.359 the one thousand troops were conducting any operations and deployed 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.320 to western North Carolina. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.920 So it took eight days to get five hundred people there. 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:50.640 You see hurricanes coming. It's funny. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.039 I've lived all over the country and you hear people 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.760 talking about, oh, tornado, scare me, Oh Earth quite terrifying. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:56.960 Oh what about hurricanes? 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.200 The thing about hurricanes is you see them coming per 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.960 days sometimes well right, yeah, sometimes it's even a week, 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.559 we get alf two weeks. But sometimes they change tracks. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.560 Sometimes they're stronger than expected, or or do what they 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.560 did to the Carolinas, which was a bit of a surprise. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.640 But the idea that, oh, shoot, what do we do unders. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:22.400 Hurricanes troops, National Guard, eighty second Airborne from North Carolina, 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.000 from North Carolina, it's worth mentioning. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.360 Six days later they think, yeah, yeah, we ought to 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:30.279 authorize some troops. 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.159 Yeah, yeah, And it takes two more days to get 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.000 five hundred active duty military personnel to the other side 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.880 of the state. And what the hell is that? The 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.200 other aspect of it that rubbed me the wrong way, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.640 in addition to the fact that they the government has 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.599 been wrong about so many things my whole life, to 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.520 all of a sudden act like we should. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.400 You know, believe you know what you're doing or you're on. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.840 Top of it is they always claim they're doing a 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.640 good job. Always, that's the knee jerk reaction, whether it's 0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.720 Joe Biden the other day. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.839 No, everybody's go ahead, Michael. They're very happy Gulf the 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.159 boards and everything they need. They're happy across the board. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.120 Is the same thing as George Bush, and Brownie, you're 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.400 doing a hell of a job. That's what politicians do. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.600 They just say everybody's doing great all the time. That's 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.720 there without any knowledge. That's just what they do. So 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.160 aver ever ever admit to a mistake or even a 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.600 B minus performance. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.840 Yeah, and Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.800 Now, Bush was unfairly treated in that whole thing, a 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.040 different of course, but that particular thing was the same 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.600 thing as Biden did the other day, where you just 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.840 your knee, you're just automatic responses, Oh we're doing wrong. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.960 On top of everything, everything is fantastic. That's what they 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:48.360 always say. They're very happy gulf the boards. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.360 Yeah, the dead people aren't in their grieving relatives aren't 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.920 and those still waiting to be rescued, and those who 0:07:56.120 --> 0:08:00.200 won't have water electricity for months, they're not super happy 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:08.720 across the board, mister Rehobeth beach dwelling, sun soaking absentee 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:09.560 in chief. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.360 How about Harry Leggs? What we should get stay relevant? 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:14.680 Sir? 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.720 We should start the show officially. We got quite a 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.200 bit of news today and the elections getting dang close. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.480 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this How did 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.040 it already get to be? Wednesday, October ninth year, twenty 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.360 twenty four, Life Will Not be a Born twenty four. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.040 We're armstrong, you getting We approve of this program. Here's 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.600 the beginning of the show. Then officially, according to FCC 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.120 rules and regulations at mark. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.400 I imagine if I took your name out of it, 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.080 took away the awards and the acclaim, took the cover 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.560 off the book, the publishing house goes away. The content 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.880 of that section would not be out of place in 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:54.560 the backpack of an extremist. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:09:01.480 That was a segment of the incredibly controversial interview CBS 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:07.800 News had with the crackpot ideologue tnah See Coats the 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.120 toast of the limousine liberal East Coast set. 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.319 Which of the crap books did he write? White Fragility? 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.600 Is that other woman? Rob anti racist? Is the other dude? Kendy? 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:20.920 Yeah? 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.240 He uh. He wrote some books that were very well regarded. 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.679 I did not read, and they made me pretty good. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.040 I can't remember the latest one is the Message, which 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:35.640 is just a one sided He's given up on excoriating 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.319 and demonizing the United States, well at least partly and 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.199 now he's turned his gaze toward Israel. But the highlight 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.839 being he got pushed kind of hard on CBS the 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.040 Early Show the other day, and then there was a 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.520 backlash among the lefty young people in the newsroom and 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.080 it's turned into quite the scandal within CBS. We'll play 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.079 some of that interview later. I didn't I didn't hear it, 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.199 but the way i've I've read it being portrayed, admittedly 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.559 in conservative circles, as it was a perfectly appropriate pushback 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.120 and the newsroom woke people. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:15.000 Are not right. Yeah, I would say that's clearly true. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.960 And the allegation, and I don't want to spend all 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:25.400 our cash here, our rhetorical cash, but the allegation is 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.880 that this guy, this this Dacopel, is that his name 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:35.200 Tony Dcoppel, that he was biased in favor of Israel. 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:40.520 There was a biased journalist at CBS in the wake 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.240 of the recent debate where the two lovely ladies were 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.400 fact chacking only one side or if sixty minutes has 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:54.160 been a citadel of liberal journalism forever, edited kamaloa maker 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:55.240 sound less stupid. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.760 Even in the last three days. The fact that somebody 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.760 might be kind of pro Israel. Well, that's the sort 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.160 of bias we can't have at CBS. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.160 You just put on the full clown outfit, put on 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.200 the red shoes, put on the nose and the wig, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.199 and the weird jumpsuit. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:18.479 Clowns wear wear pants, clowns, but just you fully. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.920 Be clowned yourselves, You hypocritical jackasses. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.120 Clowns be clowning themselves. You hate to have that. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.000 Yeah, so we'll get into that. We'll play some of that. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.400 I can't wait to hear it. I've only read it 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.640 in print and a bunch of other stuff. I'm pretty 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:39.760 excited about this lawsuit going forward against TikTok and what 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.559 it might or might not mean for all of social media. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.520 It's a heck of an interesting topic. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.439 I've just learned more about how important TikTok is for 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.080 young people getting their news. 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.520 Shocking numbers. Wow, Yeah, I want to hear all that. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:54.760 So how does mailbag look? 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.199 Oh? Fine and andy cool? That's on the way, and 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:04.719 here's our text line four one, two, nine five. Man 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.520 I came across some punditry about the election and where 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.920 it stands now is really interesting and not good for 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.800 Kamala Harris but very thought provoking. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:15.480 I didn't realize. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.040 Jd. Vance has an opinion piece in the Wall Street 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.360 Journal editorial section today on how the Harris Biden team 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:23.760 has mismanaged the hurricane. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:24.480 Yes. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.800 Indeed, in fact, the timetable that I was describing in 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.760 the last segment was from it interesting. Yeah, and I 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.079 was skeptical going in too, I mean, because these things 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.559 are always criticized, but when he lays out the specifics 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.079 of it, it is it's an indictment. I think of, 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.120 you know, maybe one party over the other, and we'll 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.480 get into that later, but just the federal government in 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.480 general and the trust we put in it is just 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.520 it's it's psychotic to me. I don't get what y'all 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.440 are thinking. Not y'all the other y'all's anyway, fradom loving 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:02.040 quote of the day, Oh y'all, George All. Y'all's from 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:07.800 George Washington is farewell addressed, oft quoted wistfully. Let me 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.240 now take a more comprehensive view and warn you, in 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.959 the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:19.120 spirit of party generally, not party as in fighting for 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:19.840 your right. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:24.839 To get the keg we're passing the hat. No, no 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.439 political parties. Indeed he was right, he was prescient. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.319 That was never a good idea at one point in 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.439 my life, ever in my life, any party I was 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.600 ever at where they were like passion around a hat 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.600 for money for one more keg. The party was over. 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.959 The good times were over. There are no more good 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.319 times to be had. It was never worth getting the 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.280 money together, getting another keg, bringing it. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:46.120 In and everything, and it was. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.360 It was all over by them recognizing the peak of something. Yes, 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.040 it's a real gift. I didn't when fueled by the 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.520 grape you put Most people are very. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.440 Poor at that right. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:58.640 I know. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.480 I am mailbag. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.559 That is us a note recognizing the peak of a 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:10.120 of a of a party is not handled well by by. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.960 Some people, including me. Want to keep that peak going. 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.880 Tom and so Cal writes, it may not be a 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.439 freedom loving code of the day, but this is my 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.400 favorite quote from the show yesterday and we make a 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.120 great am G clip. Kamala Harris, when asked about what 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.800 she changed from the Biden administration, said there is not 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.600 a thing that comes to mind. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:30.600 I think we can all agree with that. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.880 So she was asked that question on the view and 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.680 then on Colbert last night, which I guess. She also 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.200 didn't have an answer or said nothing, so we'll play that. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:41.760 For you later. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.600 That was a great opportunity according to most pundits that 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:51.360 that that's your separate yourself carvenue way. I'm the change 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.960 candidate person in both cases, she went, not really, Oh yeah, yeah, 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.920 anybody with any political instincts, sir, indeed just reasonable for 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.880 verbal intelligence would be able to handle that question. 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:04.280 She's a dope. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.480 Let's see a gs and Newcastle writes, FEMA is hell, guys. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.480 In twenty seventeen, we lost our home two cars in 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.240 the Santa Rosa tubs fire, along with our community owned 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.560 water system. I worked with FEMA on a grant help 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.600 restore water to our community. Worst experience in my life. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.120 FEMA wasn't an insult in injury. They were the injury. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.600 I suffered more dealing with them than trying to put 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.920 my life in home back together. At one point, until 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.000 the FEMA representative that dealing with them was a kind 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.120 of living in Dante's inferno. They deserve their own circle 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.800 of hell, and he goes into some detail. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:36.880 Oh well, I'll go with it. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.880 Specifically, FEMA should be placed between the eighth circle of 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.000 hell fraud and the ninth circle of hell treachery. The 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.480 ninth round is reserved for traders to their lord's benefactors 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.720 or masters. The bureaucracy which FEMA exists only to serve 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:55.800 and grow FEMA, not to serve the taxpayers who fund FEMA. Well, yeah, glasses, 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.400 glad they used the word buocracy. That's the important thing 0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:59.960 to know. And I guess that was the point you're 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.120 making earlier, is who believes in all these giant bureaucracies. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.880 It's not the individual people at the VA that don't 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.320 care about veterans, or the people at FEMA that don't 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.920 they it's not that they don't care. Giant bureaucracies don't work. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.480 They just don't, right, it should be should be known 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.840 to everyone. Well, yes, indeed, they don't work in the 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.600 way we'd like them to. And I've got a brilliant 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.480 email on this topic that we're not gonna have time for. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.600 But they remember the iron law bureaucracy. They work quite 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.120 well at what their new priority is, which is serving 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:39.640 their own bureaucracy. They're very effective at that. Over time, 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.760 bureaucracies go from serving a purpose to serving themselves always 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:48.640 it's the iron law of bureaucracy. Anyway, JT and Livermore said, 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.600 we nailed it, then breezed right past it. The whole 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.840 back and forth with a FEMA funds as they exposed 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.960 the Dems with their proverbial hand in the cookie jar. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.360 At first I couldn't understand what they were doing and saying. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.320 But after what Joe said, it has become perfectly clear. 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.119 Money is fundaible and never let a crisis go to 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.280 waste is the DEM's political bible rolled up into one phrase. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.639 So they know national sympathy is going to be on 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:11.679 the side of funding all the poor souls devastated by 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.000 the hurricanes. So they have already started to make their 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.480 case for getting more and more money. We'll talk more 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.200 about this in the days to come. Absolutely, man, we 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.639 have so much to get to today. I hope you 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:21.280 can stick around. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:30.880 Armstrong and Getty, Well, if anything, would you have done 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.520 something differently than President Biden during the past four years. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.320 There is not a thing that comes to mind in 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.800 terms of and I've been a part of most of 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:42.679 the decisions that. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:47.400 Have had impact. So that was the first time yesterday 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.439 that Kamala Harrison. 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.560 One of her soft ball interview settings was asked, would 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.600 you have done anything differently. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.240 Than Joe Biden? 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.399 And it was an opportunity to separate yourself from a 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.360 very unpopular president and add to the narrative that you're 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:08.760 a change candidate. And in both cases she she took 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.159 a pass on it. We'll play the other one here 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:15.280 in just a second. Here is Here is the uh 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.800 punditry from Mark Halpern on his newsletter today around those answers. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.320 If these were prepared answers on which she executed, Heaven 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.480 help Wilmington. If these were ad libbed answers, Heaven help Wilmington. 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.080 How are you not? How did it not occur to anybody? 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.800 Because she seems to be incredibly prepared, Like I picture 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.440 her spending a lot of time in rooms with managers 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.480 trying to figure out how they want to massage various things. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.200 Definitely surely they touched on this topic at the right. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.119 That's what boggles my mind so much is that she 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:59.280 seems so you know, mechanical coached coached. Yeah, and yet 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.680 her coach answers are awful. Is there coaching that bad? 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.800 Does she forget or I mean, I could offer a 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.680 couple of great ways to answer that, And I'm not 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.960 saying I'm a political genius, quite the opposite. 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.760 Or can she not execute it? That's the question. Anyway, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.199 Let's hear the same sort of thing on Colbert last night. 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.800 Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters, 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.600 really want this to be a change election, and that 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.040 they tend to break for you in terms of thinking 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:29.840 about change. You are a numbered president administration under a 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:34.840 Harris administration. What would the major changes be and what 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:35.720 would say the same? 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.840 Sure, Well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:45.399 so that would be one change of But also I 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.600 think it's important to say with you know, twenty eight 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.160 days ago, I'm not Donald Trump. 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.359 So that's the line she used in that very first 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.119 sit down interview. Well I'm not Joe Biden and then 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.520 she laughs with the that's that's a major point I 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:02.000 just made. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:06.800 No, it's not uh wow again, Well. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.639 Like Helpin wrote, if those were prepared answers, God help Wilmington, 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.920 that's you know, that's where they're the campaign is based. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.080 And if their ad libs, God help Womington. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.240 I mean, neither way, it's not really good Anyway, she 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.520 goes on, here, I actually haven't heard this. Executive producer 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.119 Hanson says, this is what kind of a typical Kamala Harris. 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.520 Oh, it's a peach really. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.760 And so when we think about the significance of what 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.000 this next generation of leadership looks like were I to 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:42.000 be elected president, it is about Frankly, I love the 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:47.240 American people, and I believe in our country. I love 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.840 that it is our character and nature to be an 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:55.600 ambitious people. You know, we we have aspirations, we have dreams, 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:00.920 we are we have incredible work ethic and and I 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.080 just believe that we can create and build upon the 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.840 success we've achieved in a way that we continue to 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.159 grow opportunity and in that way grow the strength of 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.800 our nation. So, for example, my economic policies, I think 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.639 of it and I have named it as creating an 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:17.880 opportunity economy. 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.200 Wow. So she that was an answer to that, what 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:22.000 would you change? 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.200 That was her answer, right, And she went back into 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:27.200 the whole world, hard working people with aspirations and blah 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.200 blah blah. We have dreams and aspirations. I mean like Belgians, 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.000 for instance, they got no dreams. They don't dream at 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.359
