WEBVTT - I Can't Handle Life 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:07.720 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.080 Jack Armstrong's Joe Getty arm Strong. 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:12.560 And Getty and he. 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:25.520 Armstrong and Yetty these poles. This is not a leap. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:26.920 There are only two choices. 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.120 You have a fifty percent chance of being right. It's 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.520 not like you picked the trifecta at the Belmont States. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.600 There's no magic involved. It's heads or tails. At the 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.800 end of this, the pollsters were wrong will quietly disappear. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.800 The other ones will be like I told you one percent. 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.199 What did you tell us? You called eight hundred losers 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.200 who didn't have enough sense to not answer an unknown call. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.400 That's all you did. The results of the polls on 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.120 family feud are more. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:01:00.120 Scientific than survey, says oh Bra RFK Junior, Donald Trump R. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.520 Nobody knows everything. I don't know. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.679 I was in this conversation with some of the other 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.160 day and the age old conversation of have. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.399 You ever been pulled? I've never been polled. I don't 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:15.760 know anybody who's ever been pulled. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.880 I mean, it's amazing how many people are in that situation. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.720 It does make you wonder about all the polls that 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.160 are constantly coming out. It's not like I get called 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.880 every other day by some major poll. I never have 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.640 been called by a major poll. 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.480 Right, But there's three hundred and forty million people in 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.440 the country and a major poll polls eleven hundred. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.119 People, right. I mean that's really, really thorough. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.959 And as we pointed out yesterday, the posters would tell you, 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.240 we never claimed. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.080 To be that accurate. It doesn't exist. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.640 There's an expectation in America for something that doesn't and 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.480 can't exist. That's an accurate polling about presidential elections. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.400 It's not a thing well, right, And. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.760 They're not to blame. It's the media that's to blame. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.720 This constantly saying a one point move, it appears Trump 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.760 is really gabblyzed on Harris's gas. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.960 You're absolutely right. And when any polster would tell you no, no, no, no, 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.120 forty nine to forty seven is a tie statistically, it 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.680 says so right in our look at our graph, plus 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.080 our mind is to say somebody's ahead is ridiculous. But 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.520 they do it all the time. Move one point and 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.919 it's a headline. So yeah, you trained people to think 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.440 it's a science. It's like putting a thermometer in your 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.440 mouth and figuring out one degree in your temperature, which 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:36.240 you know is a. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.320 Deal, but polling is not. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:44.040 No, no, indeed more important than that's certainly a peanut. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.359 The squirrel update. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.079 I was late to this story. I saw all the headlines. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.360 I did not grasp the significance of the peanut the 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:56.720 squirrel story, and I am late to being outraged, where 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.840 some of you have been outraged now for quite a while. 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.360 It's freaking, yeah, unbelievable that this happened. 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.880 Yeah, in a in a country, in particularly a state, 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.959 a blue state where lawlessness is running anock. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.639 Yeah, boy, you put into the context of current society, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.240 and it's extra outrageous. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.360 And the authorities raid this couple's house. They're there for 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.120 five hours, grilling the woman about our immigration status. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.000 They order you out of the house and you're sitting 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.560 on the curb while feds go through all your stuff 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.959 because you got a squirrel in your home. 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.520 And you can't pee unless they come with you to 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.840 keep you from hiding evidence of what squirrel trafficking and 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.760 and so. And then they take away these people's pets 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.200 because they could be dangerous and euthanize them even though 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.560 they've been living with them for years. Just it's it's 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:49.600 the sort of brutality by bureaucrat. Yeah, that and that's 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:55.360 that's that's the importance of it. It is unelected, unaccountable 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.200 bureaucrats with powers far beyond what you think they have. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.360 And please the New York State Anti squirrel Police, I 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.840 don't know, Wildlife Commission, whatever they are, their. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.840 Powers are are are are ants. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.440 Compared to the EPA, for instance, the Department of Energy, 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.000 you know in cal Unicorny. I just read an outrageous 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.080 couple of stories about the Air Resources Board, which. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.000 Is just running a muck anyway. 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.599 Yeah, it's it's it's the oppression of the bureaucracy that 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.360 it's all about. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:33.440 Now here's the twist, Jack, What I. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.280 Was gonna say. I came across some mem yesterday I 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.599 thought was really good. There's a Babylon Bee headline. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.320 Yeah, do do everything you got before I get to 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.840 the twist, because once I hit you with the twist, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:45.479 it's gonna go down that. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:46.320 Road at one hundred miles. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.120 Fron, Well, this is not about the squirrel thing specifically, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.360 but the word you just used. Babylon Bee's headline was 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.920 If Trump wins, it will win bureaucracy as we know it, 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.480 which uh uh you know is what Elon musk goal 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.440 is to end bureaucracy as we know it. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:08.360 That I am all on board for. Yeah, I love 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.719 that idea, all right? 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.240 So who rated out the long goes that's the family and. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.360 You rat out a squirrel? Is that does that work 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.240 that way? Three? 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.840 That is probably an unfortunate metaphor choice of words. Anyway, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.640 who ratted out the squirrel? 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:30.880 And why the squirrel was nationally famous? Right?

I used the example yesterday 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.920 just to explain it a little more. Where we were 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.440 looking into on our farm with all our goats of 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.400 make of either selling goat milk or making goat soap, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.800 and we got informed by various people who had done 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.199 that and run afoul of whatever state regulations and had 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.880 their homes raided or fined or whatever.

But America is 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.280 a generous country, Jack And a go fund to me 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.440 page set up for Peanut is raised more than one 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.199 hundred and thirty two thousand. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.439 To do what. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.959 You know what I would like to say, see one 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:26.280 of those big elaborate like not what do you call it, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:32.840 like a little mini mausoleum slash giant gravestone for peanuts? 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:33.199 Do you want? 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.120 You want like what they got in Red Squirrel, like 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:36.480 what they got in Red Square for Lennon? 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.920 You want that sort of thing? Yeah, that sort of thing. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.280 Maybe you have them lie in state. I don't know. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.440 This'll probably go to some sort of loss suit or 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.360 legal something or other. But seriously, these people make millions 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.920 of dollars doing porn. They don't need your twenty dollars 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.720 in the memory of their squirrel. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.520 Well, okay, that's a decent point. Yeah, why are you 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.200 sending them ten bucks when they made eight or one 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.760 thousand dollars a month doing important. The fact that they 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.520 do horn though, doesn't change the story at all for me. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:04.600 No, not at all. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.120 I'm sure he got quite attached to the squirrel based 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.200 on some of the videos I've seen over a period 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.120 of time, and the idea of the government coming in 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.280 ordering you out of your own home and going in 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.640 and killing your pet. WHOA, well again with everything else 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.840 that's going on, violent gangs running the streets? 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.760 Are you kidding me? Illegals? By the way, Violent gangs 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.760 of illegals running the streets. Oh, that will make you. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.319 That will make you nuts, yeah, and make you a 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:34.480 little militant. Maybe. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.319 Ah, I don't want wild animals in my home. Squirrel, 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.760 I would be a little concerned about me. No way, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.520 I'm having a freaking raccoon in my house. I would 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.280 think you're just just waiting for the day that it loses. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:51.080 Its s and claws your eyes out right? Right? 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.760 But come on, it's not like they had a tiger 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.760 no now. 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:02.840 Or a bobcat. They didn't have that one of those either. Wow. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:08.400 Okay, and Kamala Harris on stage, we believe in freedom. Now, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.000 all you believe in is abortion. You don't believe in 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:16.320 property rights? You don't believe in You don't believe in 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:20.200 any freedom except the freedom to abort a baby and 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.199 the freedom to show porn to kids in school. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.760 That might your own damn business. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.920 That is absolutely true, and I wish the Republican side 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:33.720 could have made a better argument about that. One thing 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.960 I'm noticing on all the cable news panels. That's not 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:40.360 a shock. Among other things we've got coming up, stay tuned. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.720 I was thirty years old before I could vote. I 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.840 was born in nineteen thirty five. Civil rights movement was 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.360 high when I was about thirty thirty five years Oh, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.400 I had seen so many young men and women die 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.040 because of a right to vote. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.200 And I said, I've got a vote. 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.080 That people have to realize the price that was paid 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.000 for them to vote. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.760 I've been driving Lyft for nine years. 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.240 Even when I drive locals, I ask him, maybe he 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:05.200 registered the vote. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.600 A lot of them say, my vote doesn't count. Oh. Yes, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.840 one voat can change. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.880 A conversation, one vote can change a whole society. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.120 That is a good, true, and uplifting a little speech 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.160 about voting. I wish the majority of our media and 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:25.280 certainly our politicians, cared about democracy near as much as 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.440 that guy or people. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.800 Who say that sort of thing, Hey, I would agree. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.920 They don't, and I've got some examples of that coming 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:31.720 up next segment. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.080 More significantly, that's an eighty nine year old lift driver. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.760 Can we keep our lift drivers? I don't know, seventy 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.720 five or younger? Well, he can general. He sounds pretty 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.800 sharp and he could be really sharp. 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.240 But if I got in my lift and he happened 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.400 the driver happens to mention he's eighty nine, I would think, Wow, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.880 I probably ought to be ready to grab the wheel 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:55.440 if I need to. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.320 Eighty nine is old. That's getting up to I love this, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.640 love his attitude though maybe yeah, I know what you're saying. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.240 Yeah I do so. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.360 I found this very very interesting. The good folks that 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.400 fire the Foundation for Individual Rights, and what is the 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.640 E stand for now that it's not education anymore, I 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.120 can't remember. They're the free speech people and they do wonderful, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.480 wonderful work. They talk about, you know, various laws having 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.960 to do with going to the polls. Can you wear 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.680 a mega hat, a Harris Walls T shirt? Is it 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.840 legal to have a no campaigning zone? All sorts of 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.120 different issues that are complicated because of very. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:35.360 State by state. But is it anima? Probably not. Pardon 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.160 me the E for enema. I doubt it. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:44.040 Yeah, can you take ballot selfies? There are a number 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.480 of states around the country, including some of my faves, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.600 where it is prohibited that you take a selfie of 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.800 yourself at the in the voting boost because to say, hey, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.320 I voted, because. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.200 I don't know exactly. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.480 I'm sure I've read it more than once in my 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.800 life and forgotten it because it's not very interesting. They 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:07.920 just don't want detailed maps of the voting places for 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.280 people to commit. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.240 Fraud or something. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.680 But there are also quite a few states where you 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.920 can absolutely take a ballot selfie, and the good folks 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.320 at Fire point out that the laws banning ballot selfie 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:25.040 stand on very shaky constitutional ground, and Fire is indeed 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.560 currently challenging North Carolina's selfie ban in court. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.280 I like Fire a lot. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.000 I just don't know if this is the best use 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.360 of your resources going after this one. 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:35.280 Is it? 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.800 I think it's more about the broad principles than the 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:39.880 specifics of it. 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.680 It's probably no photography inside the polling place, which I 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.320 can understand why you'd want that. 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.920 Yeah, I think and again I'm half tempted to read 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.920 up on the issue, probably not tempted enough actually do it. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:56.280 But the idea is, you are restricting my freedom without 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.560 a sound rationale for it. 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.800 We're not going to put up with that. Fight it 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.560 everywhere all the time. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.360 One of the many reasons this was such a depressing 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.240 election coming up. 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.520 If you want to be depressed, who tuned into that? 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:18.480 Who tune into that? Nice job? Yeah, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:25.679 If we don't show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.600 that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:30.880 a ballot again. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:37.440 That is either dumb or incredibly irresponsible. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.560 From open ruined free last night at a Kamala Harris rally, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.119 It's just ridiculous to stay stuff like that. And I 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.600 know Trump is saying the same stuff, but all the 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.240 surguates don't need to jump on board with the candidates 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.000 and claim that the other side is Hitler or a 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.160 fascist or a communist or democracy ends if the other 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:55.800 side wins. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.399 It's just it's why how could we not be better 0:17:59.440 --> 0:17:59.679 than that? 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.679 As I quoted someone earlier, when people say this is 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.080 the most divided we've ever been, that's wrong. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.440 But the most. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:14.040 Divided and stupid we've ever been definitely true, which is 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.560 very disappoint. 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:22.160 I'm so aghast at what Oakpriss said. I just there 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.800 ought to be and this is probably an incursion against 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:26.720 the First Amendment. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.680 But if somebody says something like that, there. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:33.720 Should be heavy, heavy fines when they inevitably turn out 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:38.440 to be completely wrong, I'm not serious with that proposal. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.679 But you can say crap like that. You can have 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.720 people stirred up to violence and insanity and never pay 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:44.359 a price for it. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.879 That's a little frustrating, but right, what are you gonna do? 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.280 David Birds, who we regularly quote from his Twitter feed, 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:52.960 said love him. 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:53.919 I have to chuckle. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.920 How all these cable news channels that have spent the 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.880 last thirty years pumping insane hysteria take a quick break 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.400 election day to tape up some patriotic bunting and talk 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.680 about quaint Dixville, Notch and bell Weather, Ohio and whatnot. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.120 That is true, After just all the nutty, crazy, over 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.760 the top stuff everybody says on election day, you put 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.080 up some red, white and blue crape paper and good 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:16.560 old time. 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:17.720 He put on a straw hat. 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.679 Right, but more importantly, so I was, I wish I 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.760 could just grab the clip and play it of Charles C. W. 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.960 Cook on the National Review podcast yesterday. Now we're having 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:35.960 a conversation about where you are on the election, or 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.719 how you feel after election day or whatever, and and 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.720 his take was, how incredibly sad he is just for 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:48.959 the civic health of the country, no matter what, based 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:55.000 around all of the insanely over the top misleading stories 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:58.120 the mainstream media has gone with in the last week, 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.080 really in the last you know, on the entire Trump era, 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:07.359 but in the last several days, our most important institutional 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:13.119 media sources, whether it's CBS News, Washington Post, New York 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:18.440 Times or whatever, you know, talking heads that people respect, 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.919 acting like Trump threatened the life of Liz Cheney or 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.800 good for instance, being willing to play the abbreviated clip 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:31.080 of there will be a blood bath or whatever, which 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:32.960 and utterly unforgiven. 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:33.800 And Charles C. W. 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.639 Cook could not hate Trump more. I mean, he is 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.960 an anti he's absolutely man is not fit for the office. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.040 But as he says, our civic health we have none. 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.080 If if Trump is not the sort of person that 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:52.280 you can with real quotes and real statistics and real 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:57.160 arguments defeat and you're gonna just go with lies. You're 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.000
