Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: Hits another eat your vegetables and You'll get dessert segment
Speaker 3: on the Armstrong and Getty Show, the vegetables being the
Speaker 3: stupid election story of the day, which is important but dumb,
Speaker 3: and then the dessert will be Hanson, our executive producer, claims,
Speaker 3: we've got the song that will change the election, that
Speaker 3: it's very entertaining coming on.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it sounded like you said the song that
Speaker 2: will change the election exactly what I said.
Speaker 1: Now you can maintain if you like you cynical man,
Speaker 1: I am. The big political story of the day is
Speaker 1: what do you call it? Silly, stupid, dumb, whatever. But
Speaker 1: this is the flip side of, you know, in a
Speaker 1: time of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
Speaker 1: or being the smartest horse or something.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly, but.
Speaker 1: If dumb rhetoric is ruling the media, it takes fire
Speaker 1: to fight fire, it takes dumb to fight dumb.
Speaker 2: That's what I say.
Speaker 3: It's a different approach is so I'm going with the
Speaker 3: whole Puerto Rico is garbage flap was stupid also and
Speaker 3: shouldn't have been covered at all.
Speaker 2: Right, and how do you fight that? And this one
Speaker 2: is stupid?
Speaker 3: You're going with the Well, if the coin of the
Speaker 3: realm is stupid stories.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they bring it absure toity, We bring a stupidity.
Speaker 2: That's the Washington way. No kidding, that's really good.
Speaker 3: So we're on day four of the mainstream media writing
Speaker 3: about and talking about the comedian's joke about Puerto Rico,
Speaker 3: which is freaking unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Who was on the stage briefly hours and hours before
Speaker 1: Trump was even in the building.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, mainstream media not as interested in And that
Speaker 3: was a comedian again, like Joe just said, surrogate hours
Speaker 3: away from the current candidate himself. This is the actual
Speaker 3: president of the United States, Joe Biden last night talking
Speaker 3: about the Puerto Rico story.
Speaker 2: Here we go or Puerto Rico where I'm in my
Speaker 2: home state of Delaware.
Speaker 4: They're good, decent, honorable people.
Speaker 2: The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
Speaker 3: The only garbage I see out there are his supporters.
Speaker 3: The White House blames a missing apostrophe from the interpretation
Speaker 3: of the comments the official transcript of what the President
Speaker 3: of the United States said, And you do have to
Speaker 3: be reminded that Joe Biden is the sitting president of
Speaker 3: the United States.
Speaker 2: The official transcript.
Speaker 3: It says, the only garbage I see floating out there
Speaker 3: is his supporters with an apostrophe. Yes, his demonization of
Speaker 3: Latinos is unconscient. That could be true. I'm not even
Speaker 3: sure it's not true. But as you know, if it
Speaker 3: were Trump saying this sort of thing, he would not
Speaker 3: be getting the benefit of the doubt from any.
Speaker 2: Of course not.
Speaker 1: And it would be a four day apparently maybe five days.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 3: Well, if Trump said it clear up till election day
Speaker 3: and if he's elected president, they would quote this forever,
Speaker 3: like he promised to be a dictator on day one,
Speaker 3: he promised a blood bath. He called you said, there
Speaker 3: were good people on both sides, right, and it would
Speaker 3: live on forever. But because it's Biden, they're going with no,
Speaker 3: there was an apostrophe in there, and if you didn't
Speaker 3: hear it, well then you're just, you know, a Trump
Speaker 3: lunatic or something like that. Here's Trump responding to what
Speaker 3: Biden said please forgive him for he not knoweth what.
Speaker 2: He said, which I actually think is a pretty good reason.
Speaker 3: It's terrible, terrible, terrible to say a thing like that,
Speaker 3: But he really doesn't know.
Speaker 2: He really, honestly he doesn't.
Speaker 5: And I'm convinced that he likes me more than he
Speaker 5: likes Kamala Convil.
Speaker 2: But that's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know where that came from, but I like
Speaker 3: the idea of just mocking the guy's brain, and I
Speaker 3: think it's probably a pretty good idea. As Britt Hume
Speaker 3: tweeted out a Brit Hume of Fox, It's one thing
Speaker 3: for media outlets to dismiss Biden's calling Trump supporters garbage
Speaker 3: as an idiotic remark by a senile old man long
Speaker 3: prone to gaffs, But to pretend he didn't say it,
Speaker 3: or to ignore it completely is another matter. Entirely an
Speaker 3: example of media corrupted by politics.
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.
Speaker 3: Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, was on CNN when
Speaker 3: this was blowing up yesterday. He said, I'm giving you
Speaker 3: my fresh reaction to it. I would never insult the
Speaker 3: good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they
Speaker 3: chose to support a candidate that I didn't support, which
Speaker 3: is a really good way to just like have it
Speaker 3: be over and you don't have to deal with it anymore,
Speaker 3: although he was.
Speaker 1: Not denying its existence or significance, which I thought was interesting.
Speaker 1: As Josh Shapiro continues to angle for the presidency and
Speaker 1: presumably continues to work on his Barack Obomba imitation.
Speaker 3: Kamala could have chosen him as a VP and would
Speaker 3: have been in much better shape. But Kamala was asked
Speaker 3: today about the garbage trash comments. This is what she
Speaker 3: said President Biden about garbage.
Speaker 4: Listen. I think that, first of all, he clarified his comments.
Speaker 2: But let me be claire.
Speaker 4: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on
Speaker 4: who they vote for. As you've heard in my speech
Speaker 4: last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that
Speaker 4: the work that I do it's about representing all the people,
Speaker 4: whether they support me or not. And as President of
Speaker 4: the I sais I will be a president.
Speaker 2: For all Americans, whether you.
Speaker 4: Vote for me or not.
Speaker 2: You know, that was a crock crap, but it was
Speaker 2: it was well done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was fine, A typical sort of thing to do.
Speaker 3: And I heard part of her speech last night on
Speaker 3: the Ellipse drawing the parallels to January sixth sixty thousand
Speaker 3: people showed up.
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a crowd. I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is politics and this is common I
Speaker 3: couldn't quite square the whole. I'm the champion of all
Speaker 3: of you, no matter who you vote for. But he's
Speaker 3: an evil dictator and we all know it. Those don't
Speaker 3: quite fit together because the people who vote for him,
Speaker 3: in your mind know he's an evil dictator and are
Speaker 3: still voting for him, but you're claiming that you like
Speaker 3: them and whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That doesn't matter, and it's all.
Speaker 1: In the recent history of it is okay, you're running
Speaker 1: to be a bland, run of the mill, moderate Democrat,
Speaker 1: but then your old boss there, he'd ended up governing
Speaker 1: like Jay Guavera. So you just you have no credibility,
Speaker 1: especially given the only policy pronouncements you've made.
Speaker 2: Throughout your career have been wildly left.
Speaker 3: So I see Tim Walls is up on CBS and
Speaker 3: he's being asked about the Puerto Rico thing.
Speaker 2: My question is.
Speaker 3: If this actually is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2: And it could be.
Speaker 3: How in the last five days before election time are
Speaker 3: we discussing for multiple news cycles a comedian's joke and
Speaker 3: this whole trash, senile.
Speaker 2: Old man thing. I mean, you would think if.
Speaker 3: It's the most important election of our lifetimes, we'd be
Speaker 3: heavy into border policy, economic policy, something sure the last days,
Speaker 3: but we're not. So is that just sprint flailing DF?
Speaker 3: Is that just the nature of media? Is that what
Speaker 3: that means?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it's it's also the nature of turnout in
Speaker 1: a situation where there's nobody left to persuade, and so
Speaker 1: they're trying to go with all the levers of the
Speaker 1: most base human emotions anger, fear, greed.
Speaker 2: Haven't gone to lust yet. I hope they will.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's it's really it's the caveman emotions
Speaker 1: period of the race.
Speaker 3: So Biden cleaned it up fairly quickly, saying that's not
Speaker 3: what he meant. My personal stance is a guy who
Speaker 3: talks for a living, is I regularly say things that
Speaker 3: I wish I had worded differently or went too far,
Speaker 3: and would like the ability to say that's not what
Speaker 3: I meant.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have said that.
Speaker 3: And that's the end of it, as opposed to once
Speaker 3: you say something, it's stamped in the National archives for
Speaker 3: all of history, and that's what you meant and we
Speaker 3: know it, and just seems like a silly way to
Speaker 3: run conversations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your taking the high road when the other side
Speaker 1: has the entire might of the media and academia and
Speaker 1: entertainment and they're taking the low road. At some point,
Speaker 1: you have to win elections, though, even if the methodology
Speaker 1: is stupid, but.
Speaker 3: Maybe part of it is. I actually believe they're making
Speaker 3: a mistake. I think making that comedian's Puerto Rico joke
Speaker 3: a four day story is not good for Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: to have that be your closing four days of the
Speaker 3: last week.
Speaker 1: What so my final comment on the Joe Biden the
Speaker 1: only garbage I see is his supporter's comment is he
Speaker 1: is an elderly man in the grips of dementia and
Speaker 1: what he sees says should not be taken seriously in
Speaker 1: the least. The obvious reply to which is he's the
Speaker 1: effinger President Joe.
Speaker 2: To which I, in turn reply, yeah, got a point,
Speaker 2: no kidding.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how scary is that I've been counting. I've
Speaker 1: done it on the air some I've been counting the
Speaker 1: weeks that he is still Potus praying with the p
Speaker 1: get through it without some sort of cataclysm.
Speaker 3: Right, some giant mead quick reaction, and like you know,
Speaker 3: Cuban missile crisis type decisions need to be made.
Speaker 2: Not a chance he could do that.
Speaker 3: You have a Cuban missile crisis type situation where JFK
Speaker 3: had to make some of the biggest decisions in our
Speaker 3: nation's history with no sleep over days.
Speaker 2: We do not have a president that could do that.
Speaker 2: Other people would have to do.
Speaker 1: It for him, which is frightened, right, And I wonder
Speaker 1: I was noodling this through before the show. I wonder
Speaker 1: has there been some sort of triple classified communications sent
Speaker 1: to some of the evil doers on the planet from
Speaker 1: Giggles herself. I don't know, Joe Biden, Blink and Sullivan,
Speaker 1: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I don't know, some
Speaker 1: cabal of the highest echelons of American power saying, you know,
Speaker 1: the president's failing badly and we know it too, But
Speaker 1: guess what, we're all unified that if you all get nuts.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go full on, screaming eagle on you, so
Speaker 1: just do not exploit that.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't surprise me that they've made it clear, probably blinking
Speaker 3: Secretary of State. No people are there are people in charge.
Speaker 3: Me and sect deaf Austin everybody, we're still in charge.
Speaker 3: Don't think that there's gonna be any hesitation to react.
Speaker 1: I wonder whether they got like the Speaker of the
Speaker 1: House and the minority leader of the Senate to sign
Speaker 1: on and say hey, we're with them.
Speaker 3: Could be very well. Could be, Man, I'll be interesting
Speaker 3: history to read. Okay, so we got through the vegetables.
Speaker 3: We promised you dessert. I don't even know what this is.
Speaker 3: Hanson said, this is a game changer for the election.
Speaker 3: This music, let's hear it, Trump, I vote.
Speaker 2: You know what this is. This is a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of happy Puerto.
Speaker 3: Ricans showing that they're not upset they're voting for Donald Drums.
Speaker 2: I'm digging this, Yes, Hanson, what do you know about this?
Speaker 3: I was watching the video earlier, and good job whoever
Speaker 3: put this together to push back on the whole Puerto
Speaker 3: Ricans trash thing immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why the speed with which this stuff comes down now.
Speaker 1: I mean it's oh, I love I love the Caribbean
Speaker 1: feel and the rhythms and the steel drums and everything
Speaker 1: since I was a little kid.
Speaker 2: Us you want to drink. Even Commo is down with
Speaker 2: this tune. Everybody loves it.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll be back soon with more of the news
Speaker 3: of the day.
Speaker 6: Stay with us, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Trump.
Speaker 2: So you got to see the video.
Speaker 3: It starts in an office full of Puerto Ricans and
Speaker 3: then goes down the street with all these different vehicles
Speaker 3: and flags and everything like that to try to make
Speaker 3: thinks they.
Speaker 2: May be Cubans, aren't they. I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3: It seems pretty clear to me that they're trying to
Speaker 3: make it seem like, you know, people of island nature
Speaker 3: who are brown are all into Donald Trump. Days after
Speaker 3: the whole Puerto Rican thing, the idea that.
Speaker 1: Hispanic people are some sort of electoral monolith has been fictious.
Speaker 2: It's like first that uttered by Absolutely the video is great.
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, we'll post that at Armstrong
Speaker 3: and Getty dot com. So the whole thing is stupid, right,
Speaker 3: The joke was stupid, And then Biden responded to it,
Speaker 3: and now he's on the hook for it. And so
Speaker 3: they haven't had Biden out there campaigning for him, which
Speaker 3: in political circles has been a story not so much
Speaker 3: to me for obvious reasons. He's unpopular and he's got
Speaker 3: his brain don't work, right. Why would you have an
Speaker 3: unpopular president who's brain doesn't work come out and campaign
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Tim Wall, and where is that on the
Speaker 1: list of most important issues for Americans?
Speaker 2: As well? You know, again the belt weigh's bizarre self obsession.
Speaker 7: But anyway, the old coach, Tim Wall's just a good
Speaker 7: old small town Nebraska, Minnesota communist coach who believes funded
Speaker 7: that organization that taught you how to put drugs up
Speaker 7: your butt, has discussed yesterday.
Speaker 2: On the show Mind your Own Dawn Business.
Speaker 3: I'm just a regular Midwest farmer who believes in late
Speaker 3: term abortion, in communism, just like everybody else, who wears.
Speaker 2: Flannel, and I'm a knucklehead at times. But he was
Speaker 2: asked out up with Biden, and this is what he
Speaker 2: said just a little bit ago.
Speaker 8: You know, there has been some reporting that President Biden
Speaker 8: has been sidelined during this campaign. One is there any
Speaker 8: truth to that, and if not, is this an example
Speaker 8: of maybe why he should be sidelined.
Speaker 5: Well, look, President Biden's the president of the United States,
Speaker 5: he's running it. Vice President Harris is our candidate and
Speaker 5: will be the next president. And I think there's two
Speaker 5: different positions there. The Vice president is out speaking about
Speaker 5: the things that we need to be done for the country.
Speaker 5: She's talking about all of those issues that matter to folks.
Speaker 5: And the president's doing what he needs to do, and
Speaker 5: that's making sure our country is reducing inflation, making sure
Speaker 5: that we're taking our leadership role in the world where
Speaker 5: American values are front and center.
Speaker 2: So no, it doesn't. These are just two different positions,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: So the president's out doing what he needs to do,
Speaker 3: stepping on rakes that make everybody's life more difficult.
Speaker 2: So keep in mind out of his face is what
Speaker 2: Tim Mals was thinking. Oh man, please let it be
Speaker 2: over soon.
Speaker 6: No, I know.
Speaker 3: Well, And to be fair, here's a stupid story the
Speaker 3: New York Post had the other day. Did you either
Speaker 3: one about Tim Wall's ex girlfriend from back.
Speaker 2: In the day, Oh the Chinese coal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was so distraught when he broke up with
Speaker 3: her that she contemplated suicide. Okay, how's that on Tim Walls?
Speaker 3: I mean, are you familiar with you as the daughter
Speaker 3: of a prominent communist official, Jack? Are you familiar with
Speaker 3: the whole love and loss and all that sort of
Speaker 3: stuff add seff and very painful.
Speaker 1: One person decides I'm out, and the other person is like,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be out.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's painful, it's awful.
Speaker 3: I don't understand why that was even in the New
Speaker 3: York Post. I don't go to the New York Post
Speaker 3: for that kind of story. I want to see stories
Speaker 3: like they said my boobs were too big to be
Speaker 3: a fifth grade teacher, and I think they're wrong.
Speaker 1: That and Hunter's laptop sooe things the Post does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just and it goes against my nature. But I
Speaker 1: am reminded over and over again by undecided voters saying,
Speaker 1: over and over again, yeah, all that stuff y'all are
Speaker 1: talking about. I still haven't heard anything of so distins
Speaker 1: from Kamlaw. So let's get together Wednesday and talk about
Speaker 1: the election next week.
Speaker 2: All right, that's enough trash and garbage. We'll move on.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Jadie Vance is doing Joe Rogan's podcast today. Trump's podcast
Speaker 3: with Joe Rogan has been seen sixty million times. You
Speaker 3: could go on Face the Nation and be seen by
Speaker 3: a million people maybe, or he could go on Joe
Speaker 3: Rogan and be seen sixty million times. Or a better
Speaker 3: example would be since he refused to go on sixty minutes,
Speaker 3: which is a tradition, he could have gone on sixty
Speaker 3: minutes and been seen by thirteen million maybe, but they
Speaker 3: sixty million with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 2: Uh jad Van's doing today.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris refused to do the Joe Rogan podcast, saying
Speaker 3: he wanted her to go to Austin.
Speaker 2: She won't. Okay, that's getting out of it.
Speaker 3: So we could have two presidents elected in a row,
Speaker 3: Biden Harris, who went out of their way to not
Speaker 3: expose themselves because they were terrible twice in a row.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm reminded of our theme of you know,
Speaker 1: a month ago or whatever, and yet they're tied.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just much of situation because you're running against Trump
Speaker 3: and half of America can't stand him. Right.
Speaker 1: Supreme Court cleared the way today for Virginia officials to
Speaker 1: remove about sixteen hundred voters from the state's registration roles
Speaker 1: less than one week before the presidential election.
Speaker 2: The way some of this is worded in the WAPO
Speaker 2: had a bunch of candaders on the rolls. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure that's a fair assessment.
Speaker 1: Governor Young can ask the justices to interview after intervene
Speaker 1: after two lower courts blocked his efforts to cancel the
Speaker 1: registrations of voters who seem to.
Speaker 2: Be non citizens.
Speaker 1: And as always, since it's left the media, they've got
Speaker 1: to point out non citizen voting is extremely rare. One
Speaker 1: of my finest tweets of all time. I wish I
Speaker 1: had it in front of me, because I worked on
Speaker 1: the wording a bit. Was it had something the effect
Speaker 1: of non citizens don't vote, Well, we would like to
Speaker 1: make sure of that they don't vote. How do you
Speaker 1: know you won't let us check you're a racist? Well,
Speaker 1: there's no mechanism for uncovering voter fraud and non voter voting,
Speaker 1: and they won't permit a mechanism to function. And they
Speaker 1: simultaneously claim the reason there's no need for checking into
Speaker 1: non citizen voting is because there isn't any.
Speaker 3: And if even if there were only a dozen nationwide,
Speaker 3: if you could easily stop it.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you. We don't need a Geiger counter. There's
Speaker 2: no radiation here.
Speaker 3: Well, wait, is there any argument? What was the argument
Speaker 3: for leaving those names on the voter roll?
Speaker 1: They might actually be citizens, the information's outdated or something,
Speaker 1: and you're disenfranchising them.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, that's the argument. I want to get back to
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court and.
Speaker 1: The fact that they are an issue in the election,
Speaker 1: But first to the topic of the security of the
Speaker 1: ballot in people's perception of it, which is incredibly important.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley was on Fox and Friends and said the
Speaker 1: following We'll start with sixty.
Speaker 9: Michael, but we've seen this pattern. You have a sort
Speaker 9: of a cottage industry of registering people. There's a lot
Speaker 9: of money from the parties, from the government to register,
Speaker 9: and they are registered by obviously the number of people
Speaker 9: that they can effectively harvest or get registrations from, and
Speaker 9: that produces a rather negative incentive. You know, some of
Speaker 9: these people begin to cut corners or according to some
Speaker 9: of these accusations, just knowingly create in valid registrations. So
Speaker 9: it's good that they're picking it up. We just don't
Speaker 9: know the scope of this. We're seeing this in multiple districts.
Speaker 9: And that's what we don't quite know at this point.
Speaker 3: Oh man, this could be the ugly and not in
Speaker 3: the least bit entertaining part of the post election day
Speaker 3: stuff is all the legal wrangling and just waiting days
Speaker 3: or weeks or hopefully not months for various rulings and uh.
Speaker 1: And you've got the Democrat dominated states like California, for instance,
Speaker 1: that you're automatically registered to vote when you register your
Speaker 1: car or get a driver's license. I think it is,
Speaker 1: and you've got to affirmatively state wholl no, stop, don't
Speaker 1: do this, I'm a non citizen. Otherwise you're assumed, of course,
Speaker 1: to be a citizen in eligible to vote. And whether
Speaker 1: it's an oversight or malfeasance or as Turtley was suggesting,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money in these registration drives and
Speaker 1: you get paid per you know, scalp as it were,
Speaker 1: there are all sorts of perverse incentives to do the
Speaker 1: wrong thing.
Speaker 3: In California, you're automatically registered to vote when you get
Speaker 3: your abortion of your second change.
Speaker 2: Oh that was good. I guess adamants are feeling very
Speaker 2: red meaty today. Good good, Ah, do you want to
Speaker 2: hear more from Turley. Ah, sure, part of the figures.
Speaker 9: There are a lot of states have tried to make
Speaker 9: it easier to register. There's a lot of money going
Speaker 9: to registration drives, but that can be a perfect storm
Speaker 9: when when those are in the hands of the wrong people.
Speaker 9: And so we're seeing a lot of these these forms
Speaker 9: that are highly suspicious and potentially criminal, but many of
Speaker 9: these are simply invalid, and so these officials are trying
Speaker 9: to do a catch up game because you know, we
Speaker 9: don't have a lot of runway here. When these registration
Speaker 9: forms come in, they've got to spot them, pull them,
Speaker 9: investigate them.
Speaker 2: And we've got an election barreling down this track.
Speaker 3: Well that's totally from yesterday, and this is breaking now.
Speaker 3: The Trump people are suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania, saying they're
Speaker 3: turning away Trump voters, are not allowing Trump voters to
Speaker 3: be registered or something. They're going to be endless lawsuits
Speaker 3: around this if it's super super close.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Allegedly, there was a huge flood of conservative voters trying
Speaker 1: to register and the computers went down midday and so
Speaker 1: on the last day to register, half the day.
Speaker 2: Was cut off.
Speaker 1: Sorry, folks, I mean computer systems screw up all the time.
Speaker 1: It could be one hundred percent innocent, or it could
Speaker 1: be malfeasance of the highest order. But in an atmosphere
Speaker 1: of mistrust and playing fast and loose with ballot securities,
Speaker 1: people are on the alert.
Speaker 2: We it's so week from today will be the day
Speaker 2: after the election? Will we be talking about this crap?
Speaker 2: Or will we know who the president is? Your guests,
Speaker 2: they'll still be counting.
Speaker 1: I guess that we will know. I think we'll have
Speaker 1: a fairly decisive result. Although my level of confidence is
Speaker 1: fifty two percent. I agree, But yeah, well, within my
Speaker 1: personal margin of error. You have, no you have a
Speaker 1: personal margin of error within your body. So I don't
Speaker 1: particularly care who you all vote for or what you do.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a small libertarian. I believe in free
Speaker 1: will and free thought and that sort of thing. But
Speaker 1: I would tell you this, for all of Trump's flaws,
Speaker 1: you got some of the absolutely odious policies being pushed
Speaker 1: by Kamalin company. Like you know, the editorial board in
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal was right in the other day
Speaker 1: about how Kamala was asked at a CNN town hall
Speaker 1: last week, and of course This got next to no
Speaker 1: attention because the Left owns the media.
Speaker 2: Whether she supports packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: By adding three justices, and as they point out, that
Speaker 1: was a great chance to present herself as a a
Speaker 1: pair of hands to hold the union. Miss Harris wants
Speaker 1: to win so badly among disaffected Republicans. She's taken a
Speaker 1: bragging about a Dick Cheney endorsement. Right, So they asked
Speaker 1: her about court packing, Harris says, and I quote, American
Speaker 1: people increasingly are losing confidence in the Supreme Court in
Speaker 1: large part because of the behavior of certain members of
Speaker 1: that court and because of certain rulings, including the Dobbs
Speaker 1: decision and taking away a president that's been in place
Speaker 1: for fifty years protecting a woman's right to make a
Speaker 1: decisions about her own body. So I do believe that
Speaker 1: there should be some kind of reform of the court,
Speaker 1: and we can study what that actually looks like.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: So, whether it's packing the court or imposing quote unquote
Speaker 1: with ethics rules which are essentially congressional control over which
Speaker 1: justice gets to hear which case, she is for utterly
Speaker 1: trashing the Supreme Court and the courts as an independent
Speaker 1: branch of government.
Speaker 2: That is enormous.
Speaker 1: Trump is an a hole, okay, and he's rude and
Speaker 1: he's a loose cannon. But somebody openly proposing to pack
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: I mean, even my liberal.
Speaker 1: History professor said, yeah, FDR went way too far. Even
Speaker 1: his own party said, hey, that's being a dictator. That's obscene,
Speaker 1: and they stopped him in his tracks.
Speaker 3: Well that's the argument Neil Ferguson, the historian who we
Speaker 3: really like, was making in the Telegraph. I guess the
Speaker 3: other day that who's who's the fascist here talking about
Speaker 3: Biden Harris and wanting to expand the Supreme Court and
Speaker 3: pack it full of people from their sides so it
Speaker 3: will dominate for years to come. End the filibuster, you know,
Speaker 3: the workaround Supreme Court, I mean student loan stuff, you know, and.
Speaker 1: So come on, none of the fact they want to
Speaker 1: end this filibuster for the purpose of packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Right, different topic. Do you remember those tennis rackets you
Speaker 3: gave me? Oh goodness, yeah, your family, your kids were grown.
Speaker 3: You must have decided you were no longer going to
Speaker 3: play tennis. I guess, having not played it in many moons. Yes,
Speaker 3: you gave me tennis records, which luckily we have because
Speaker 3: Henry and I went and played tennis yesterday using them.
Speaker 3: Oh crazy, and that was really fun playing that for
Speaker 3: a while. I hadn't done that in a while. I
Speaker 3: can see why pickle ball. I have not played pickleball yet,
Speaker 3: but watching it, I can see why it's popular because
Speaker 3: it looks like it's easier to do than tennis. If
Speaker 3: you're not, you know, a good tennis player, or young
Speaker 3: enough or in shape enough to do all of that
Speaker 3: running well, you have to do so much running around
Speaker 3: when you if you play tennis with the full court,
Speaker 3: we didn't. I got it down to the smaller squares
Speaker 3: because I mean, you play on a full tennis court,
Speaker 3: you were running like crazy. I was getting so winded.
Speaker 3: And you do a lot of chasing the tennis balls.
Speaker 3: Unless you got a hundred balls in your pocket, you
Speaker 3: do a lot of okay, that's both of them.
Speaker 2: Let's you go get that one. Ok get that one?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, A lot of doing that playing tennis
Speaker 3: I hadn't played in many, many years. I have a
Speaker 3: feeling there's a decent chance the rackets go back into
Speaker 3: the closet for another decade or so.
Speaker 2: Before I give them to someone else. But we had
Speaker 2: a good time yesterday, fair enough. It's the circle of
Speaker 2: life or something.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I hadn't been on a tennis court in years.
Speaker 3: I played a lot in high school, played a lot
Speaker 3: of tennis, but I hadn't been on a tennis court
Speaker 3: in many, many years.
Speaker 2: I was on there thinking about the guys, you know, at.
Speaker 3: The top levels now who serve one hundred and forty
Speaker 3: miles an hour, and trying to picture that coming at
Speaker 3: you from that distance. Holy cow, how do you even
Speaker 3: see it, let alone get a racket on it with
Speaker 3: the desire to hit it to a certain spot.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, there are a couple of sports.
Speaker 1: Golf is the other one that leaves to mind that
Speaker 1: the equipment has changed the game so completely it's out
Speaker 1: of control. Yeah, I've you know, I've I've said many
Speaker 1: times when discussing the world of golf, where you got
Speaker 1: guys sometimes driving.
Speaker 2: It four hundred yards now, oh really.
Speaker 1: Three four hundred It happens occasionally, like downhill or I
Speaker 1: did not know that, And like the and like average
Speaker 1: PGA tour pro can carry the ball three hundred and
Speaker 1: ten yards in the air, and so like Arnold Palmer,
Speaker 1: even with his giant wang, how far would he have
Speaker 1: hit it back in the sixties. Choosing not to address that,
Speaker 1: he says he'd probably hit a two sixty five total
Speaker 1: in flitting rollout.
Speaker 2: Wow like that? Wow wow, Well that's that's a completely
Speaker 2: different thing then. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, And as I often say to people, if you
Speaker 1: went to a baseball game and guy started hitting eight
Speaker 1: hundred foot home runs, wouldn't that be absurd?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it would be.
Speaker 3: So do you think his enormous genitalia that Trump told
Speaker 3: us about help help torticle?
Speaker 2: You see what happened there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I saw it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I took the high road and he decided to exploit it,
Speaker 1: the low road being left to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you think that helped his gamersays for humor in
Speaker 3: your world? Or I can't believe that was a story
Speaker 3: for a day or two. Oh in the last two
Speaker 3: weeks of the election, we.
Speaker 1: Are supposed to not vote for Trump because he made
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer had unusually right.
Speaker 2: I'm not even going to go there. It's just so stupid.
Speaker 3: The most important election of our lifetime, and the closing
Speaker 3: discussions are about Arl Schwarzeneger's driver and Puerto Rico being
Speaker 3: trash or not.
Speaker 1: And Gerold Palmer Schwarzenegger whatever. I had known nothing about
Speaker 1: the big German's genitals. The Austrian do you well, given
Speaker 1: his steroid abuse, I can hazard.
Speaker 2: To guess yes, yeah, that's true. Anyway, where was I? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And if you are, for instance, a person who grew
Speaker 1: up reading the biographies of the founding fathers and studying
Speaker 1: the Constitution, the Federalists papers exactly, and the ideas that
Speaker 1: brought this country from the monarchies and wars of the
Speaker 1: sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the fact that it's come down
Speaker 1: to this is profoundly discouraged.
Speaker 3: We got more in the way, stay with us, pretty
Speaker 3: decent economic news grew at two point eight percent. I
Speaker 3: don't know if that's going to have any effect on
Speaker 3: the election or.
Speaker 2: Not, but it's good for America.
Speaker 1: Probably decreases the chance of the FED slowing rates because
Speaker 1: it's still pretty robust.
Speaker 2: Right, So good news is bad news, right, the worst
Speaker 2: news is good news. So coming up next hour.
Speaker 1: The audio at least is this is a radio show
Speaker 1: slash podcast audio only of a commercial suggesting that the
Speaker 1: wives and girlfriends of Trump voters are so terrified of
Speaker 1: their men that they are afraid of voting their conscience,
Speaker 1: but that they should be brave and in the secrecy
Speaker 1: of the booth vote for common lift they want. So
Speaker 1: that coming up incredibly condescending and insulting, like a lot
Speaker 1: of lefty politics are. I thought this was a good,
Speaker 1: a really great encouraging son if indeed Trump were to
Speaker 1: win the election.
Speaker 2: This is a rarity. Excuse me, but.
Speaker 1: The name of billionaire investor John Paulson has been floated
Speaker 1: publicly as a Treasury secretary, and normally those names are
Speaker 1: kept under wraps until the election. For some reason, people
Speaker 1: are talking about him fairly openly, and this Paulson character
Speaker 1: said he would enthusiastically work with Elon Musk to enact
Speaker 1: massive federal spending cuts if he becomes Treasury secretary. He
Speaker 1: said in an interview that this priority would be extending
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen tax cuts, followed by wers.
Speaker 2: Oh that is such.
Speaker 8: You know what.
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger, for the love of all that is holy,
Speaker 1: just came out and endorsed Kamala Harris, and he repeated
Speaker 1: the blatant lie that the twenty seventeen tax cuts were
Speaker 1: for billionaires. Wow, and didn't help. And he actually said,
Speaker 1: and didn't help anyone else. That is one hundred per
Speaker 1: scent a lie.
Speaker 2: Stop whining. That's not even spin, that's just plain not true. Wow. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: way to go, Arnold, you jackass.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Paulson said his priorities would be extending those task cuts,
Speaker 1: followed by quote working with Musk to reduce federal spending,
Speaker 1: particularly by getting rid of the subsidies for green energy
Speaker 1: and the Inflation Reduction Act, which he referred to as
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal, which would have been a much
Speaker 1: more accurate name. Quote all of these tax subsidies for solar,
Speaker 1: for wind, inefficient on economic energy resources, eliminate that. That
Speaker 1: brings down spending. Now that would be a drop in
Speaker 1: the solar bucket, honestly. But I like the spirit of it.
Speaker 1: Anybody talking about reducing the size of government.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: And I don't know how Elon Musk takes on so
Speaker 3: many different tasks trying to get us to Mars and
Speaker 3: running Tesla in Twitter and robots and all the different things,
Speaker 3: but he says he's going to be part of that
Speaker 3: big Commissioner or whatever to try to reduce waste and
Speaker 3: be more efficient in government. I think as a businessman
Speaker 3: he is going to if Trump wins, be highly disappointed.
Speaker 3: And how difficult that is when you run into a
Speaker 3: bureaucracy that its goal is to stop you. And I'm
Speaker 3: not sure how much Trump cares either.
Speaker 7: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Trump cares about getting credit for it. Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: have the problem.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned many times that one of the most powerful
Speaker 1: lobbyists of the federal government is the government itself.
Speaker 2: It is such a colossus now it's difficult to.
Speaker 1: Fight just never ending growth between the unions and the
Speaker 1: self interested people. But I just I like the fact
Speaker 1: that somebody is talking about it again. Sure, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've got a story here about and it's a bit
Speaker 1: in the weeds, but it has to do with bond prices.
Speaker 1: But the point is that we have borrowed so much money,
Speaker 1: and we are playing to borrow so much more money
Speaker 1: next year, in the year after, in the year after that.
Speaker 1: The pros are starting to say, yeah, us debt, We're
Speaker 1: going to pass on this.
Speaker 2: That's not a topic for an election.
Speaker 3: The topic for an election is who called whose supporters
Speaker 3: garbage or trash.
Speaker 2: That's what you talk about. Huh. That's a good slender.
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico. We do four hours. If you missed an hour,
Speaker 2: get it in the podcast Armstrong and Getty
