Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Finally, Lebron James and
Speaker 1: his son Brown yesterday became the first father son duo
Speaker 1: would have played together on an NBA team. Well, I
Speaker 1: probably haven't. With Will Chamberlain, you know, he just didn't know.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain FA stat stuff famously had sex with ten
Speaker 1: thousand women.
Speaker 3: I think he caimed back to the fifty thousand. It's incomprehensible. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's fairly disgusting.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly nothing to aspire to.
Speaker 3: So there's a gigantic hurricane bearing down on Tampa Bay,
Speaker 3: Hurricane Milton.
Speaker 4: They don't everything they need.
Speaker 1: They're very happy about the boards board getting everything they need.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're decimated in North Carolina, and the response of
Speaker 3: the federal government has become, as it often does, pretty controversial,
Speaker 3: often politicized. On the other hand, according to many folks
Speaker 3: who listened to The Armstrong and Getty Show and have
Speaker 3: dropped us a line at Mailbag at Armstrong and Geeddy
Speaker 3: dot com. That's our email address. Mail Bag at Armstrong
Speaker 3: and geedddy dot com.
Speaker 5: UH.
Speaker 3: Dealing with FEMA has not been a pleasure at all.
Speaker 3: By the way, last hour, I used a phrase to
Speaker 3: characterize Alejandro Majorcis which was harshly critical, and I won't
Speaker 3: apologize for that.
Speaker 1: I think he is.
Speaker 3: A rotten, useless, drain on humanity, soulless bureaucrat. Yes, yes,
Speaker 3: the worst sort of ineffective taxpayer money guzzling sons of
Speaker 3: bitches Apart from me. The only thing I want to
Speaker 3: apologize for is it was inelegant. It was like a
Speaker 3: third grader. I'm better than that. I'm a wordsmith, and
Speaker 3: I went with stupid waste of skin. Just's like, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm a major league ballplayer. I went, oh
Speaker 3: for three.
Speaker 1: They had a bad day.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I thought this was so interesting. A couple of notes.
Speaker 3: This is from UH. He signs off his four it's
Speaker 3: a nickname. I don't want to give his real name.
Speaker 3: Back in twenty nineteen, I was in a federal community
Speaker 3: service program for people aged eighteen to twenty four called
Speaker 3: AMERICRPS NCCC, which you may remember.
Speaker 1: I think Bill Clinton started that AmeriCorps. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: And we had responded to a hurricane in Florida doing
Speaker 3: a bunch of disaster relief stuff on the ground, work
Speaker 3: like gutting mold out of houses, tarping roofs, picking up
Speaker 3: large heavy debris.
Speaker 1: We have an and good for you.
Speaker 3: By the way, I used to do that sort of thing,
Speaker 3: especially in high school, and it was very satisfying. We
Speaker 3: have another branch of our program called NCCC FEMA. From
Speaker 3: what I understand, they do exactly what FEMA does. I'm
Speaker 3: not entirely sure if they're separate organizations. Anyway, The point
Speaker 3: is that when we AmeriCorps guys America or NCCC guys
Speaker 3: would come around, people had a really good attitude toward
Speaker 3: us because of the work we did. But the FEMA
Speaker 3: guys were normally met with annoyance and anger because so
Speaker 3: many people have been burnt by the government helped counsel
Speaker 3: canceling out private sector help. And we've heard of that
Speaker 3: phenomenon before, and I think was FEMA. The disastrous Paradise
Speaker 3: fire in northern California that killed so many and destroyed
Speaker 3: so much property a few years ago is not terribly
Speaker 3: far from the Radio ranch and a lot of folks
Speaker 3: in that area. Listen to the show, and anyway, they
Speaker 3: talked about how when the FEDS come in, they come
Speaker 3: in with a heavy hand and they take control and
Speaker 3: they shove aside the locals and the rest of it,
Speaker 3: and that really caused a lot of resentment. But anyway,
Speaker 3: the hostility to the FEMA AmeriCorps people grew so great
Speaker 3: that they actually had to take our guys out of
Speaker 3: their uniforms and dress the FEMA people in them so
Speaker 3: they wouldn't be hassled and in some cases actually assaulted.
Speaker 3: They had to hide the fact that they were the
Speaker 3: FEMA affiliated types that didn't come from nowhere.
Speaker 1: I'm from the government and I'm here.
Speaker 3: To help you exactly in Charlotte, political refugee from California Rights,
Speaker 3: I had to tell you about our encounter with FEMA
Speaker 3: in the aftermath of the Joplin, Missouri tornado several years ago.
Speaker 3: I believe that all local state VA insurance companies, FEMA
Speaker 3: and many more were located in the YMCA.
Speaker 1: Of all, FEMA was the least helpful.
Speaker 3: Two representatives dress shirts faces in their phones only to
Speaker 3: tell us go online fill out an application. I understand
Speaker 3: there's a vetting process to make sure you're truly one
Speaker 3: of the victims of the disaster. There are criminal low
Speaker 3: LIFs that take anything they can. But here's what really
Speaker 3: gets my panties in a bunch a vetting process for
Speaker 3: citizens and not illegals. Almost four years of very little
Speaker 3: vetting and given EBT, housing, medical cash, legal aid. The
Speaker 3: list goes on and on, while on the nightly news
Speaker 3: we see total devastation of homes and businesses. So who
Speaker 3: truly helps Samaritans, purse Red Cross, United Way, surrounding communities
Speaker 3: and churches, other states, neighbors, strangers. There needs to be
Speaker 3: a financial accounting of FEMA. Apologies for the long rant, No,
Speaker 3: not at all. I think it's all part of our
Speaker 3: insane practically a cult of deciding the federal government ought
Speaker 3: to be in charge of everything. There is no more bloated, inefficient,
Speaker 3: and unresponsive government entity you could possibly look to than
Speaker 3: the federal government, and yet we look to them for everything.
Speaker 1: What is wrong with us? Maybe they're very happy off
Speaker 1: the board, they're very happy across the board. What a
Speaker 1: dumb thing to say. But his brain doesn't work, so
Speaker 1: it's not Yeah, he can't blame him for that. He
Speaker 1: can blame him for staying in office or his wife
Speaker 1: allowing him to stay in office.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an act of treason, it really is, or
Speaker 3: terror over his aging that he can't come to terms with.
Speaker 1: I don't know to wrap that up. That's why we're
Speaker 1: pairing with a local United Way chapter and you can
Speaker 1: go to Armstrong in getty dot com if you want
Speaker 1: to donate there, and we're gonna be talking more about
Speaker 1: that in the coming days and we're hoping to have
Speaker 1: somebody on maybe tomorrow. Complete change of gears here. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get this on this is Have you heard this?
Speaker 1: Did you listen to the Elon Musk Taylor Tucker Carlson thing?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I'm a big Elon Musk fan,
Speaker 1: as you know if you listen, A big fan of his,
Speaker 1: and a lot of different ways I like now that
Speaker 1: he's gone all in on Trump. I keep seeing him
Speaker 1: referred to as an oligarch. You don't refer to all
Speaker 1: of the you don't. I don't hear anybody refer to
Speaker 1: Soros is an oligarch or what's his name at the
Speaker 1: Washington Post. I can't think of any of these billionaire's
Speaker 1: names as Alwigars or whatever, because they're on the side
Speaker 1: on your side. But Elon Musk, since he's on Trump's,
Speaker 1: it is an oligarch suggesting it's such transparent. I know
Speaker 1: it's just dumb. But Elon I admired on one hand
Speaker 1: the fact that he's got such a powerful position and
Speaker 1: so much sway, but he still he still has no
Speaker 1: f's to give. He just says whatever he wants to
Speaker 1: say all the time, which would be a fun way
Speaker 1: to live your life. Man. I mean, he got all
Speaker 1: the money in the world, you just say whatever you
Speaker 1: want to say. From the standpoint of like accomplishing some
Speaker 1: of the things I think he wants to accomplish. I
Speaker 1: don't think he does himself any good. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean like backing Trump. I just mean some of the
Speaker 1: things he says, like this interview he did with Tucker Carlson, Like,
Speaker 1: for instance, I think, if you want to help Trump,
Speaker 1: don't sit down with Tucker Carlson. I think if you
Speaker 1: want to the most people. But he sat down with
Speaker 1: an interview for Tucker Carlson. I'm going to read this
Speaker 1: first before we play it. See, you kind of have
Speaker 1: an idea of what you're about to hear breaking. This
Speaker 1: is from a Twitter feed. Elon Musk just straight up
Speaker 1: said the reason some billionaires are supporting Kamala is because
Speaker 1: they're terrified that Trump will released the Epstein Island list
Speaker 1: and includes this guy, Reid Hoffman. I don't know his name.
Speaker 1: It kind of gets explained during the clip. And also
Speaker 1: when they refer to Gates, it's Bill Gates for Microsoft.
Speaker 1: Here's Elon tucking to talking to Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 5: You know, I think part of why Kamal is getting
Speaker 5: so much support is that if Trump wins, that fine
Speaker 5: client list is going to become public. Yes, and some
Speaker 5: of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think read Hoffman's uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Yes at Gates? Yes, read Hoffmin was my vice president
Speaker 5: is development at PayPal? Yeah, twenty four years ago.
Speaker 1: Does he seem nervous to you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's terrified of the Trump.
Speaker 1: Victory because of this closure that would follow. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean I think it is certainly ideologically not aligned
Speaker 5: with Trump anyway, but I think he is concerned about
Speaker 5: the the Stine situation.
Speaker 1: That's a hack of a thing to come out and
Speaker 1: say about two very prominent, very wealthy men. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just doing that because they're afraid the Epstein list that's
Speaker 1: gonna go out. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I let Jack jump in there first, not because I'm polite,
Speaker 3: but because I was speechless.
Speaker 1: Well, wow, things are getting weird.
Speaker 5: They getting weird fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah they are. Why would you say that? I mean,
Speaker 1: why would you say that about your friends, former former associates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not everybody I've worked with in my life as
Speaker 3: my friend, but uh wow wow, Okay, all right then
Speaker 3: here here, let's let's strip this down. No pun intended
Speaker 3: to the basics, leaving out the underage sex, which is
Speaker 3: the most infamous part of the whole Epstein thing and
Speaker 3: indefensible on any level.
Speaker 1: Now, if you knowingly did that, they you should be executed, right.
Speaker 3: But putting that aside for the moment, because I think
Speaker 3: it's entirely possible that there were people who participated in
Speaker 3: the hijinks who assumed everybody.
Speaker 1: Was of age. Some were looking for teenagers. What's wrong
Speaker 1: with an eighteen and over? A freak cough?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: And then when you're released, some stress, thank you, mister Z. Anyway,
Speaker 1: not a bit ditty, not jay z, I get rappers
Speaker 1: mixed up. Wow, Okay, jay Z has lawyers, like lots
Speaker 1: of them. Well, I just admitted my mistake.
Speaker 3: He's a fine, respectable fellow and a great American anyway.
Speaker 3: But so putting aside the underage thing, momentarily, the idea
Speaker 3: that there are guys, there's a group of guys that's
Speaker 3: so rich that they flew off to the one dude's
Speaker 3: private islands and there was all the food, drink, and
Speaker 3: hose you could possibly want.
Speaker 1: Is not a It does not take a stretch of
Speaker 1: the imagination. Wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened
Speaker 1: on planet Earth. I've known guys who are like the
Speaker 1: son of.
Speaker 3: The big car dealer in town who lived that life,
Speaker 3: never mind being a billionaire. And so if I am
Speaker 3: and I'm being charitable here, if I am.
Speaker 1: Say.
Speaker 3: Bead Bepstein, I'm a tech executive and I partied with
Speaker 3: guys like that, and I had no experience with underage girls.
Speaker 3: I had no idea or whatever. But I know I'm
Speaker 3: going to be tarred with that. I am terrified.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, Well that's what Elon says. Elon, who has
Speaker 1: a dozen kids but maybe doesn't live a promiscuous lifestyle.
Speaker 1: He's an odd duck. Euylan's pretty odd all the way around. Yeah, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: that's quite so sary all right, Yeah, and to just
Speaker 1: come out on Tucker and say that for some reason,
Speaker 1: Oh this is important. Got to get to this coming up,
Speaker 1: what Israel's plan is? In response to Iran, the New
Speaker 1: York Times says they know, oh hello, that's new and
Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with sixty Minutes.
Speaker 2: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister
Speaker 2: and Yahoo?
Speaker 6: I think, with all due respect, the better question is
Speaker 6: do we have an important alliance between the American people
Speaker 6: and the Israeli people?
Speaker 1: And the answer to that question is yes.
Speaker 3: Vice President Harris not answering the question about whether or
Speaker 3: not Prime Minister Natanna, who is a close ally of
Speaker 3: the United States.
Speaker 1: Good for Jake Tapper to point that out on CNN.
Speaker 1: Here's something very entertaining. Michael just played for me. This
Speaker 1: is fantastic. You're gonna love this. So this is from
Speaker 1: Greg Guttfeld last night Fox Show at Night. It's a
Speaker 1: you know, comedy based news and the guest you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear on there is Kevin McCarthy, former speaker. Wow, old friend.
Speaker 1: So first you're gonna hear them play a clip from
Speaker 1: Kamala at a rally the other day, and then Greg
Speaker 1: Gutfeld discussing with Kevin McCarthy.
Speaker 3: Kamala's brain breaks down badly today.
Speaker 6: I went up thirty two days and till the election.
Speaker 6: So thirty two days, thirty two days, Okay, we got
Speaker 6: some business to do. We got some business to do,
Speaker 6: all right, thirty two days, and we know we will
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 1: Congressman, you've spent time with her. Is she as bad
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and it appears that she's in front
Speaker 1: of the scenes. Yes. Let me put it like this.
Speaker 2: I would go in to negotiate with President Biden and
Speaker 2: he'd only speak from cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And she'd.
Speaker 2: Come in and he was still the smartest Democrat in
Speaker 2: the room.
Speaker 7: Oh oh oh, man, I realize he's out of office.
Speaker 1: He's playing to the crowd that's going to love him
Speaker 1: saying that. But that was going pretty far from a
Speaker 1: former Speaker of the House.
Speaker 3: I want to hear everything Kevin McCarthy wants to say
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 1: What he's been through and seen.
Speaker 3: I just bring it to us Kevin unfiltered, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Can you?
Speaker 3: But again, I'm the danger of it. You've got a
Speaker 3: senile guy and a half wit. The senile guy is
Speaker 3: holding on he's still the president, and the half wit
Speaker 3: may well be the next president. Because our politics is
Speaker 3: so broken. It's all about hanging on to power as
Speaker 3: opposed to generating excellence and candidates. The Democrats could have
Speaker 3: hastily done some sort of primary thing, but they didn't.
Speaker 3: They put the emphasis on what's quick and smooth and
Speaker 3: will help us agree keep our power.
Speaker 1: The idea that well, one that will likely know who
Speaker 1: won on election day is probably wrong. It might take
Speaker 1: a month to figure that out. But the idea that then, okay,
Speaker 1: it's settled, a choice has been made, and we get
Speaker 1: on with our lives. I just bet any either way,
Speaker 1: Trump or Kamala, it's it's gonna be dang it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what to do about it.
Speaker 1: But whatever happens on election day, we'll be here for you.
Speaker 1: We are going through a we're going through something as
Speaker 1: a country. Is it a going through something like you know,
Speaker 1: you go through tough times and you come out the
Speaker 1: other side stronger or wiser, or it's just part of life,
Speaker 1: or is it the end? Is this what it's like
Speaker 1: at the end? I don't I don't actually know which
Speaker 1: it's going to be like having a kidney stone on
Speaker 1: death row. I think if you can suffer through this.
Speaker 3: You'll get to the execution. So enjoy everyone. It's an election.
Speaker 1: Phil The New York Times says they know what Iran's
Speaker 1: plan is, our Israel's plan is for Iran, and a
Speaker 1: couple of our biggest allies say they won't help anymore
Speaker 1: if we decide to help Israel, which is interesting. It's
Speaker 1: getting complicated, but luckily we got a super smart guy
Speaker 1: in charge. All that on the way. Stay here if
Speaker 1: you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: on the Bend arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 8: Demonstrations groined and the anniversary of the October seventh attacks,
Speaker 8: especially at Columbia University, pro Palestinian demonstrators, many with faces covered,
Speaker 8: calling for an end to the war. Outside the gates,
Speaker 8: pro Israel demonstrators waved flags and prayed for the hostages.
Speaker 8: Amid heightened security nationwide, universities have been bracing for protests
Speaker 8: at USC and the University of Maryland, you know, more
Speaker 8: than ten thousand anti Semitic incidents in the last year.
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, what's amazing to me is that
Speaker 1: of all the causes in the world, this is the
Speaker 1: one you've decided to dedicate yourself to. As a college kid.
Speaker 1: There's so many, like, really, just clear, you know who
Speaker 1: the bad guy is causes? Why this one? It's got
Speaker 1: to be because you've been so steeped in this weird
Speaker 1: ideology that comes out of colleges. Yeah, I don't. It's
Speaker 1: not like they got to this point and chose it.
Speaker 3: They have been indoctrinated to be concerned about whatever settler,
Speaker 3: colonialist injustice they are pointed toward. Whoever has more power
Speaker 3: is always wrong and can do no right. Whoever has
Speaker 3: less powers always right and can do no wrong. You know,
Speaker 3: there's the neo Marxists theory that these kids have been
Speaker 3: steeved in every society, whether good, just and kind or
Speaker 3: utterly evil and inhumane, attempts to spread their beliefs to
Speaker 3: the children because it's so easy to imprint children, and we,
Speaker 3: under our watch have allowed the evil doers to imprint
Speaker 3: our children these Marxist views.
Speaker 1: It's awful, so I've got a number of pieces of
Speaker 1: information around this topic. I heard a high number of
Speaker 1: Muslims and I didn't catch though, whether it was in
Speaker 1: the United States or worldwide. I assumed it was in
Speaker 1: the United States. Anyway, way too high a chunk of
Speaker 1: Muslims believe that October seventh didn't happen. So that's troubling.
Speaker 1: Got this pole, gallop pole of Americans. Do you think
Speaker 1: that a permanent piece between Israel and Palestine will ever
Speaker 1: be achieved? Two thirds of Americans say never, it will
Speaker 1: never happen. Two thirds of Americans say it will never happen,
Speaker 1: which they're right, You're all right, but it's it's hilarious
Speaker 1: that every administration has to go through the two state
Speaker 1: solution process. We're working on it thing, you know, vast majority,
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's nineteen percent say yes, So it's
Speaker 1: only one out of five people that think it can happen.
Speaker 1: You know, I could answer yes, but it would be
Speaker 1: an intellectual exercise in imagining, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do. Extremely unlikely. Another headline yesterday was troubling. France
Speaker 1: and the UK told the United States they will not
Speaker 1: join any attack on Iran and ask Israel not to respond.
Speaker 1: Is that because of business ties with Iran? Financial dealings
Speaker 1: with Iran? Is that what that is all about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean it maybe partly that a lot of former
Speaker 3: superpowers that are now crumbling social democracies, since they really
Speaker 3: don't have agency anymore, they really can't lead the world
Speaker 3: anymore war, They're desperate to just have everything be okay.
Speaker 1: They're also actual former colonizers unlike the United States, and
Speaker 1: are a lot of their populations don't dig getting involved
Speaker 1: in this stuff, so they get their own domestic politics.
Speaker 1: But anyway, somebody put this quote attached to that article
Speaker 1: from Norman Schwarzkow. Remember him, He ran the Gulf War,
Speaker 1: the first Golf War for the United States. Anyway, his
Speaker 1: quote at the time was because France said they wouldn't
Speaker 1: join us in that going to war without France is
Speaker 1: like going hunting without an accordion. In other words, mood
Speaker 1: needs you, right right? I like this. This is some
Speaker 1: reporting that has been out now for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: but this is a little more in depth. Senior US
Speaker 1: officials have now given up on attempting to revive any
Speaker 1: kind of ceasefire deal between Israel and Hesbelah and instead
Speaker 1: of moved towards shaping and limiting the Israeli ground operation
Speaker 1: in southern Lebanon and their retaliation against Iran though conure peace,
Speaker 1: let them win. How do you like that? Though? Concerns
Speaker 1: what the Biden administration are said to be running high,
Speaker 1: as officials believe that the ongoing limited Israeli ground operation
Speaker 1: in southern Lebanon counsume turn into a full scale invasion
Speaker 1: and regional war in which we could quite possibly be
Speaker 1: sucked into. And here's more information from the New York
Speaker 1: Times which is interesting. According to the New York Times,
Speaker 1: Israel's initial retaliatory strike against Iran. This is for last
Speaker 1: week's ballistic missile attack, is expected to likely target military
Speaker 1: bases and sites linked to Iranian intelligence and leadership, with
Speaker 1: strikes against the Iranian nuclear program being reserved for later
Speaker 1: if Iran decides to respond to the initial strikes. Whether
Speaker 1: that's true or not, I don't know, but that's you know,
Speaker 1: people with knowledge on conditions of anonymity to the New
Speaker 1: York Times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be so interested to hear some really
Speaker 3: good analysis of why they're going about it that way.
Speaker 3: I mean, because you've got malign regime in Iran. Their
Speaker 3: weapons are it's ballistic missiles, it's proxies, and then it's
Speaker 3: potential to become a nuclear power. Really that are it's
Speaker 3: only deterrens. Well, the ballistic missiles thing is just not
Speaker 3: nearly as fearsome as it seemed, especially visa the Israel,
Speaker 3: which can knock them out of the sky. Their proxies
Speaker 3: are defeated and humiliated, and Israel is going to keep
Speaker 3: mopping it up. As I said, you want peace, let
Speaker 3: them win, And so to me, I have assumed the
Speaker 3: mullahs in the Revolutionary Guard are desperate to speed up
Speaker 3: the nuclear program because they're otherwise. They're they're weaponless, their
Speaker 3: pants are down in public. They have very little to
Speaker 3: offer as a deterrent, all right, and look at the
Speaker 3: power it gives Russia to do whatever the hell they want.
Speaker 3: So I'm wondering what is the Israeli calculs. Do they
Speaker 3: have doubts about the stability of the Iranian regime.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine why you wouldn't take out that nuclear facility.
Speaker 1: I really, I really don't even understand the argument against it.
Speaker 1: You'll never have a better way too hard to do.
Speaker 1: Could be that just can't pull it off, That that
Speaker 1: could be a possibility.
Speaker 3: It would take an attack so enormous that you know
Speaker 3: you'd lose even the United States.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Somebody put out these
Speaker 1: stats yesterday on the one year anniversary of the war,
Speaker 1: because the war began obviously the day they were attacked.
Speaker 1: More than forty thousand targets have been bombed by Israel.
Speaker 1: Forty thousand, Yeah, mostly in Gaza, but also in Lebanon.
Speaker 1: Now that's a lot of targets. Forty seven hundred tunnel
Speaker 1: shafts were found. That's an you can't wrap your head
Speaker 1: around that number. Nearly five thousand tunnels, a thousand rocket
Speaker 1: launcher sites have been destroyed, and three hundred thousand reservists
Speaker 1: have been enlisted in the last year in Israel. That
Speaker 1: is something. And then one more thing came across this
Speaker 1: particular poll. This is a you gov poll. Do you
Speaker 1: sympathize more with the Israelis, the Palestinians or about both equally?
Speaker 1: The numbers have not changed that much going back to
Speaker 1: the beginning, but right now and I find this troubling.
Speaker 1: So again the question is do you sympathize more with
Speaker 1: the Israelis the Palestinians are both equally. I may I
Speaker 1: sympathize with more with the Israelis. What would your answer be? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: that is the plurality at thirty three percent, But nineteen
Speaker 1: percent say the Palestinians and twenty four percent say about equal,
Speaker 1: So that adds up to forty three Forty three percent
Speaker 1: say Palestinians are equal as opposed to only thirty three
Speaker 1: for the Israelis of US opinion. I was shocked by that.
Speaker 1: I would have guessed that it would have been an
Speaker 1: overwhelming win for the Israelis. Yeah, I think I would
Speaker 1: have too. I think I get it.
Speaker 3: I would have to talk to you know, the people
Speaker 3: pulled and try to understand if they're looking at it
Speaker 3: from a purely humanitarian point of view, you know, innocent shopkeepers,
Speaker 3: their wives.
Speaker 1: And children, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, on a human level, Yeah, I have equal
Speaker 3: sympathy in a way, although and I think you have
Speaker 3: to separate yourself from the human tragedy of this, otherwise
Speaker 3: you'll become paralyzed by compassion. The truth of being a
Speaker 3: human being is there are times you have to kill.
Speaker 3: There is a time to kill and a time to heal.
Speaker 3: Look at the good book. It's unfortunate. But if you
Speaker 3: deny it, you're a fool. And so once you accept that.
Speaker 3: The folks in Gaza, for instance, they're ruled by a
Speaker 3: regime that, in its founding charter vows the genocide of
Speaker 3: an entire religion and an entire people. Those people are
Speaker 3: not going to sit back and be slaughtered. They are
Speaker 3: going to fight back. And indeed, your brave overlords, they're
Speaker 3: in Hamas launched one of the most horrific attacks.
Speaker 1: In the lasts one hundred years.
Speaker 3: And so what do you explain to me the world
Speaker 3: in which the retribution for that isn't swift and terrible?
Speaker 3: Point out to me how that's going to work. Feel
Speaker 3: free to cite anything from human experience, please, So, yeah,
Speaker 3: once I separate myself from I don't want to see
Speaker 3: some little kid die under any circumstances. Yes, Israel has
Speaker 3: to defend itself, and the way to defend itself is
Speaker 3: to defeat its enemies.
Speaker 1: Period. Ooh, CNN, there's a new book out quoting Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: calling net and Yahoo a son of a bit and
Speaker 1: a horrible effing liar quoting quoting Joe Biden. I don't know. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a Bob Woodward book. There's a new Bob Woodward book. Whoa,
Speaker 1: his quotes are considered gold. Wow. Anytime there's a new
Speaker 1: Bob Woodward book out, there's going to be exciting stuff,
Speaker 1: no doubt called war. Huh. So is that old? Is old?
Speaker 1: Bob would word at this point one hundred and six
Speaker 1: as hell, Yeah, quite old. But he still he still
Speaker 1: has the same method of he goes to you and says, well,
Speaker 1: you can tell me or I'll find out from other
Speaker 1: people and they'll and they'll characterize you in a certain way.
Speaker 1: So would you like to have your side of the
Speaker 1: story out or would you rather have other people side
Speaker 1: of the story? And it seems to work. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I had the thing I wanted to tease, but I
Speaker 1: don't remember what it was. I have no idea. I
Speaker 1: never know. With you, No, there's no telling.
Speaker 3: How bad is the drought in Africa. They're killing elephants
Speaker 3: by the hundreds because they need the meat. They're eating
Speaker 3: the heffalumps of Africa.
Speaker 1: They're eating our elephants, they're eating our hippopotesmus So.
Speaker 3: They're eating the giant mammals of the people who live there.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a dark story among other things that are
Speaker 1: on the way stay here. So it's a cool moment
Speaker 1: during the Monday night football game last night. I'm a
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs fan and a Royals fan because I'm
Speaker 1: from Kansas and I've been to many many games at
Speaker 1: both stadiums. But so while the Chiefs were winning on
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, they're at the end of the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: they saw on the scoreboard that the Royals had beat
Speaker 1: the Yankees and tied up that series with a home run,
Speaker 1: and George Brett was in the stands cheering at a
Speaker 1: Yankee state, which is super super cool if you're an
Speaker 1: old time baseball fan. But I thought that was cool.
Speaker 1: What a fun time for that sports town. Good for
Speaker 1: that on both your teams winning at the same time.
Speaker 1: Is there something else you were going to do or
Speaker 1: are we ready? Okay?
Speaker 3: So Kamala Harris was local frying and the spouting nonsense
Speaker 3: on sixty minutes. I gave her a BP minus. It
Speaker 3: wasn't terrible, but it was her and old man Wall.
Speaker 3: So the old coach I guess did a turn as
Speaker 3: well and got grilled.
Speaker 1: Here's how it went.
Speaker 2: In your debate with jd Vance, you said I'm a
Speaker 2: knucklehead at times, and I think you were referring to
Speaker 2: the time that you said that you were in Hong
Speaker 2: Kong during the ten and Men Square unrest when you
Speaker 2: were not. Man is that kind of misrepresentation? Isn't that
Speaker 2: more than just being a knucklehead.
Speaker 4: I think folks know who I am, and I think
Speaker 4: they know the difference between someone expressing emotion telling your
Speaker 4: story getting a date wrong by a rather than a
Speaker 4: pathological liar like Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: But I think it comes down to the question of
Speaker 2: whether whether you can be trusted to tell the truth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I can't. I think I can.
Speaker 4: I will own up to being a knucklehead at times,
Speaker 4: but the folks closest to mean know that I keep
Speaker 4: my word.
Speaker 1: So one thing that is clearly true. I have no
Speaker 1: idea how many people probably watched that sixty minutes interview
Speaker 1: last night, but one thing is clearly true. The joy
Speaker 1: thing is over. Yes, they neither one of them came
Speaker 1: off as joyful. Kamala or Walls. That is over the
Speaker 1: so dope it couldn't last anyway. The your own damn business.
Speaker 1: We're on our heels trying to explain ourselves period. It's
Speaker 1: in full form, and the joy thing, you know, we're
Speaker 1: king of the world and have no worries, is completely gone.
Speaker 3: Well, Tim Wallas needs to ask his friends for a
Speaker 3: who are his friends again?
Speaker 1: I've become friends with school shooters, But his friends might
Speaker 1: tell them.
Speaker 3: Look, just say, hey, I exaggerate all my stories to
Speaker 3: make myself seem.
Speaker 1: Cooler, and I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 3: Just say that I enhance every story to make myself
Speaker 3: seem cooler.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're we, the country or this
Speaker 1: radio show is ready for what's going to happen after
Speaker 1: election day. Regardless of who.
Speaker 3: Wins, I see a metric ton of poo heading for
Speaker 3: the world's largest fan and no altering their collision no
Speaker 3: matter which way the election goes. The only conceivable, conceivable
Speaker 3: way the pooh doesn't hit the fan is if Kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: God save us, wins by an enormous margin that would
Speaker 3: prevent a complete society meltdown. That would also be I believe,
Speaker 3: miserable for the next four years. But if Trump wins
Speaker 3: by a lot or a little. The left is going
Speaker 3: to go completely ape and and and and trash the
Speaker 3: country right. Oh, speaking of apes, there is such a
Speaker 3: drought because of the El Nino in Africa, and there's
Speaker 3: such a famine. Uh in Namibia, for instance, they say
Speaker 3: they're going to kill a total of more than seven
Speaker 3: hundred hippos, heffalumps, zebras and other animals from a handful
Speaker 3: of national parks for the meat, just to feed people.
Speaker 1: Just to eat. Yeah, oh my god. And they're in
Speaker 1: national parks like they're protected. Yeah. Yeah, So they're not
Speaker 1: really wild animals eating zoo animals. Yeah, they are, they're
Speaker 1: protected wild animals. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, these these game preserves are are massive. They're
Speaker 3: the size of you know, can etiquette. Last month, Zimbabwe
Speaker 3: said it would call two hundred elephants in their country
Speaker 3: and distribute the meat to people suffering drought related food shortages.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is something well that's not getting much attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like sixty eight million people in the region
Speaker 3: in need of humanitarian age aid because of the drought.
Speaker 3: An elephant tastes like it doesn't matter if you're starving.
Speaker 1: No, man, that's that's rough. That is. I love elephants.
Speaker 3: I mean they are so close neurologically, socially to people.
Speaker 3: It's a shame to kill them at all. But well,
Speaker 3: if you're starving as an emergence, you'll lead another person. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 3: God that's grim. Yeah, it's grim. Thank god you're an American.
Speaker 3: Is there any way the world can help out with that?
Speaker 3: I mean, is there any hey you in drop some food?
Speaker 3: There some No? Yeah, Well that's why people from the
Speaker 3: southern hemisphere flocking to the northern of the hemisphere by
Speaker 3: the tens of millions.
