Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe.
Speaker 2: Getty, Armstrong and Getty and no he.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really good, really good.
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Geddy hot Dogs are Dogs T shirts.
Speaker 2: Already let me see finally, I haven't seen the picture yet.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I also like the AI created models. But anyway, those
Speaker 1: are AI models. That don't they almost got to be.
Speaker 2: Those aren't real people.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe they are, it isn't he you can't tell anymore.
Speaker 2: No, although I see a lot of the AI stuff,
Speaker 2: although it's usually like you're trying to do a really
Speaker 2: hot chick. It's it's so much. It's obviously AI. It's
Speaker 2: too much. Yeah, so you got to take it down
Speaker 2: like eight percent or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, make them look human. Hot Dogs are dogs. I
Speaker 1: would wear that shirt. I wear that shirt.
Speaker 2: That might be like my uniform the rest of my life,
Speaker 2: Like I'm Steve Jobs. I'll only wear this shirt.
Speaker 1: If If you're unfamiliar with the reference, it is a
Speaker 1: reply or rejoinder to trans women are women?
Speaker 2: Hot Dogs are Dogs? I like the one on the
Speaker 2: dude a lot. I'm gonna wear that T shirt.
Speaker 1: Yes, Michael, I'm told that one is an AI and
Speaker 1: one isn't. Oh, which is the answer.
Speaker 2: I think the dude is AI. The woman isn't. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because because his skin I can always tell by the
Speaker 2: skin on the AI creations. It's unrealistic. Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 2: either he would either be a silver devil or silver fox.
Speaker 2: He doesn't exist, Joe. H the skin is too smooth,
Speaker 2: So it's either AI or they overdid the you know
Speaker 2: the air brushing thing that you can do on photos now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hot dogs are dogs available at Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Oh what a funny idea. Kamala Harris is being interviewed
Speaker 2: by Brett Baar to day. I don't know what the.
Speaker 1: Different bear that's the director there Special Report.
Speaker 2: It's time to interview Kamala Bear Bear Bear. And the
Speaker 2: hope is that finally we see the Kamala Harris that
Speaker 2: we saw so much before she got denomination. Uh, where
Speaker 2: she just rambles and rambles and rambles and embarrasses herself
Speaker 2: because he's gonna ask her some of the things she
Speaker 2: hasn't been asked and follow up and not edit out
Speaker 2: the crazy stuff. Like sixty minutes, did right? Right?
Speaker 1: You know, we've discussed on and off what we think
Speaker 1: Brett ought to ask her.
Speaker 2: I think so you're a no on the president's brain.
Speaker 2: You don't think that should come up in thirty minutes? Interesting?
Speaker 1: Okay, No, although you know I stand ready to be
Speaker 1: reasoned out of that position. I'm not hardcore about it.
Speaker 1: I just think for number one, national security reasons and
Speaker 1: number two, it's just too easy to dodge. You won't
Speaker 1: get anywhere. I was just going to say, and this
Speaker 1: would be weird, but he ought to do fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: on the economy and inflation, what's happened under Biden her watch?
Speaker 2: In fifteen minutes of Willie Brown.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, and ask her about the anti gouging crap
Speaker 1: and grocery prices and well, if you can cure it,
Speaker 1: why haven't you cured it? Or why didn't you earlier?
Speaker 1: And then fifteen minutes on the border on immigration. God,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good examples. You've been talking lately
Speaker 1: about how you own a glock. You tried to ban
Speaker 1: that very gun in two cities you lived in.
Speaker 2: What gives? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you put people in jail for marijuana offenses with
Speaker 1: enthusiasm and then now you want to legalize it everywhere,
Speaker 1: and so.
Speaker 2: The border stuff, he's going to be prepared. But one
Speaker 2: thing Brett Bear does is he's very very prepared on everything. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so when she starts throwing around some stuff that is
Speaker 2: crap about the border was actually worse under but Trump
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah blah. I don't think she's going
Speaker 2: to get away with.
Speaker 1: That, right, Oh yeah, he'll hammer her on that.
Speaker 2: Katie.
Speaker 4: I just hope Brett opens it by going, what's up?
Speaker 4: Cackles McNee pads.
Speaker 1: Oh no, stop it. No, that's an unauthorized comment by Katie.
Speaker 2: But she can say slip at the top. She can say,
Speaker 2: we can't say Bear. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, here's one that he ought to ask. And I'm
Speaker 1: going off script here, Michael, give us a thirty five.
Speaker 1: This happens to be Eric Trump, but he absolutely ought
Speaker 1: to go here.
Speaker 5: That's all she does. Let's turn the page. Let's turn
Speaker 5: the page. Well, comal it Democrats have occupied the White
Speaker 5: House twelve out of the last sixteen years. What page are
Speaker 5: you turning? What proposal? What policy have you put in place?
Speaker 5: What quantitative measure have you put in place in the
Speaker 5: last four years, that's a single thing to further this
Speaker 5: country And the answer is absolutely none.
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't ask a single thing about abortion
Speaker 2: or climate change. Oh, that certainly gets covered enough in
Speaker 2: all the other interviews.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no, don't even.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Not to get too excited. The reason I
Speaker 2: think it's worth asking about the current president's mental health
Speaker 2: is just I just think it exposes or is such
Speaker 2: a liar and fraud and everything that's true. You think
Speaker 2: it'd be easy to dodge. How would you dodge it?
Speaker 2: I don't understand how you dodge the fact that. Look, Bratt,
Speaker 2: I wish I do have did a better Kamla. Eighty
Speaker 2: percent of the country believed he shouldn't be president again
Speaker 2: based on observing him. You didn't observe that. He came
Speaker 2: out and did his debate and immediately everybody knew he
Speaker 2: couldn't be president again. Yes, you said he could be clear,
Speaker 2: Yes said he still does. To be clear, I'm speaking,
Speaker 2: I'm speaking. I'm sorry. I'm a white straight male. I
Speaker 2: better shut up now.
Speaker 1: The president had a bad night. We all have bad nights,
Speaker 1: don't we, And but he is as sharp as can
Speaker 1: be he just knew because he is a patriot, it
Speaker 1: was time to turn the page to a new generation
Speaker 1: of leadership. But eighty percent of people said.
Speaker 2: The guy's too freaking old.
Speaker 6: Bett.
Speaker 2: Let me be clear.
Speaker 1: The President is great, he's fine. I just spoke with
Speaker 1: him last week.
Speaker 2: It is hard to get around if they're going to
Speaker 2: claim that he stepped down voluntarily, Yeah, because he thought
Speaker 2: it was time for a new generation. And what are
Speaker 2: you going to say to that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nancy Pelosi's out there saying I didn't force anybody
Speaker 1: to do anything.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: No, hey, hey, you're holding the bloody knife, Nancy.
Speaker 2: Oh, at least wipe off the knife or setting down,
Speaker 2: do the OJ thing, throw out the bushes. I mean,
Speaker 2: you gotta do something, right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't see.
Speaker 1: I don't see getting anywhere with that line a question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've convinced me, so that's a dry hole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hammer the economy, hammer the turning the page narrative,
Speaker 1: and in fact, I guarantee asks this. It got a
Speaker 1: fair amount of attention when recently you're asked by both
Speaker 1: The View and Jimmy Kimmel what policies you would change
Speaker 1: from the Biden administration. You're always talking about turning the
Speaker 1: page in a new generation. What policies would you change?
Speaker 1: Guaranteed goes there. And if she can't answer that question,
Speaker 1: she will be mocked.
Speaker 2: Well she should be. My values haven't changed. What does
Speaker 2: that mean? It means my values haven't changed.
Speaker 1: All right, So your values are the same. Why are
Speaker 1: your policies different? I was raised in the middle class household.
Speaker 1: My mother worked very hard. Then he just leaps across
Speaker 1: the table and says that she runs off the room.
Speaker 7: Eh, boy, Yeah, I am generally disappointed in an attempt
Speaker 7: to nail down any politician, although she's worse at it
Speaker 7: than most.
Speaker 2: Oh she's terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, huh, okay, here you go.
Speaker 2: Here's your question. She's got to ask her the is
Speaker 2: there anything you would have done differently? Because she whipped
Speaker 2: on that twice last week. I got a ton of criticism,
Speaker 2: right exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. What is your prediction of the letter grade
Speaker 1: performance she gives tonight?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Unfortunately, probably.
Speaker 1: See I'm probably there too.
Speaker 2: And then that won't do anything. That won't do anything.
Speaker 1: Now you can root for a crack up that doesn't
Speaker 1: make you a bad person. Well, she was pretty awful
Speaker 1: last week though, and those were all friendly interviewing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and as Charles Cook point out, the reason she hasn't
Speaker 1: gotten any better is she can't get any better, So
Speaker 1: it could be a crack up.
Speaker 2: The fact that on the View when she was asked,
Speaker 2: I don't know how hard it is to find that clip,
Speaker 2: but when she was asked on the View that she
Speaker 2: clearly had never considered it before, because she said, nothing
Speaker 2: that I can think of, You've never considered this question
Speaker 2: as you're running on turning the page, and I'm a
Speaker 2: obviously I'm not Joe Biden. I mean Bradle's say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I can see that. But see, that's got to be
Speaker 2: that's when David Plouf comes out and writes his book
Speaker 2: after she loses this.
Speaker 1: We went over that.
Speaker 2: A thousand times. We went over that a thousand times.
Speaker 2: And then she was asked on the View and she said,
Speaker 2: nothing that I can think of.
Speaker 1: The book will be entitled There's no fixing stupid.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's such an easy dodge too, I mean
Speaker 1: it's effortless. Both the President and I have learned based
Speaker 1: on the changing face of America and the economy, global conflict.
Speaker 1: We're advancing down the field with the policies that make
Speaker 1: sense for the current situation. I wouldn't undo what we did.
Speaker 1: I would respond to the new challenges in a new way,
Speaker 1: full of newness. I mean it's not hard. Nothing comes
Speaker 1: to mind now why I think of it.
Speaker 2: The way Fox led the charge on the immigration situation
Speaker 2: for the past several years. I'll bety they really really
Speaker 2: lean on that. That might be fully half the interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, m hm oh, oh oh. Uncomfortable questions about Israel.
Speaker 1: M although she's gotten better, her rhetoric has gotten better.
Speaker 1: On that, she's condemned Hamas and Hezbola said, Israel has
Speaker 1: a right to defend itself, but they need to come
Speaker 1: to a ceasefire and get all the hostages home, which
Speaker 1: is I mean, it's a patently ridiculous thing to say,
Speaker 1: but it's a decent enough dodge. So some of you
Speaker 1: out there are concerned that Fox hates Trump and Brett
Speaker 1: Bear is a softy. Even Trump himself said it in
Speaker 1: a tweet today that she chose a friendly interviewer in
Speaker 1: Brett Behar. The Bears are who we thought they were.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with Trump, but there are times. And
Speaker 1: I really like Brett Bear. There are times I think
Speaker 1: he and many conservative journalists are affected by the Beltway culture,
Speaker 1: cocktail circuit, private school narrative, conventional wisdom.
Speaker 2: We pass each other as our private jets refuel at
Speaker 2: one of those private airports.
Speaker 1: Right, and it seeps into you in for instance, my
Speaker 1: favorite for instance is he and they will use the
Speaker 1: term gender affirming care when that is a blatant twisting
Speaker 1: of language to prejudge the argument of sex change procedures
Speaker 1: for kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're taping it right before he goes on the air.
Speaker 2: It will air six eastern and three o'clock Pacific, unedited, unedited.
Speaker 2: He says, Oh, I believe him. So we mentioned this
Speaker 2: the other day. Greg Guttfeld on Fox was talking about
Speaker 2: last night the California Coastal Commission is not going to
Speaker 2: let Elon Musk do his rocket thing in California because
Speaker 2: they hate his politics. It's crazy. And more on that
Speaker 2: coming up. I just saw this headline Coca Cola recalls
Speaker 2: over thirteen thousand zero sugar drink drinks after finding they're
Speaker 2: actually packed with sugar.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not cool.
Speaker 2: Not if you're, like, you know, diabetic or something. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're just trying to keep your love handles, you know,
Speaker 2: in check.
Speaker 1: Sure, why are you looking at me.
Speaker 2: From the should we talked about this a little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm glad Greg Guttfeld is on it. It's not getting
Speaker 2: much attention in most news, as most things don't.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, who launched the world's biggest rocket the other
Speaker 2: day and then caught it when it came back down
Speaker 2: and it was absolutely amazing, wants to do some of
Speaker 2: his launches in California and as as NASA has, and
Speaker 2: he has for many, many years, and now the California
Speaker 2: Coastal Commissions saying no because of the politics. It's crazy anyway,
Speaker 2: here's the explanation.
Speaker 8: The California Coastal Commission rejected space request to launch more
Speaker 8: rockets from the Vandenberg Space Force Space, which is about
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty miles north of LA. The commission
Speaker 8: claims they're worried about the environmental impact and the sonic
Speaker 8: booms that ring out for hundreds of miles, but launches
Speaker 8: like these have been done for the past seventy years.
Speaker 8: But the commission's own words prove they're less worried about
Speaker 8: SpaceX environmental impact than Musk's social impact.
Speaker 2: Listen to Commissioner Mike Wilson.
Speaker 3: This company is owned by the richest person in the world,
Speaker 3: with direct control over what could be the most extensive
Speaker 3: global communication system on the planet. And just last week
Speaker 3: that person was speaking about political retribution on a national
Speaker 3: stage and how and it was very glib. But yet
Speaker 3: he was standing next to a person, a candidate that
Speaker 3: openly promotes and is working to normalize that language.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodn yes, so, oh, you poor thing are angry.
Speaker 8: At Musk for not throwing his intellect and wealth behind
Speaker 8: their idiot Kamala and they're abusing their power to punish him.
Speaker 2: Can you believe that that's the guy's own words. I
Speaker 2: can't believe he said it out loud. I would have
Speaker 2: thought they'd have just gone with sonic booms and environment
Speaker 2: and whatnot. Yeah, he actually set out loud. So elon
Speaker 2: is sewing him as a free speech issue. You canceled
Speaker 2: a government contract over something?
Speaker 1: I said, Yeah, that's it's it's he convicted himself. It's over.
Speaker 2: That's how delusional those people are. Correct. Wow, and uh,
Speaker 2: and you know he's a left to you who cares
Speaker 2: about the environment everything. I get the only guy that
Speaker 2: made a dent in the hope of electric cars, you're
Speaker 2: shutting down. And he wants to go to Mars because
Speaker 2: he thinks we're destroying the planet because of climate change.
Speaker 2: Elon does. Elon's full on believer in climate change and
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, But you're gonna shut him
Speaker 2: down because he's too trumpy for you.
Speaker 1: This might be the ultimate taking one for the team.
Speaker 1: It's almost worth it to see the progressive experiment played
Speaker 1: out in a one party state as a warning shame.
Speaker 1: Forty million people have to suffer for it. But uh,
Speaker 1: that's I'm so outraged by that. I'm trying not to
Speaker 1: go there. I'm utterly unsurprised by it. But that is obscene. You, sir,
Speaker 1: are the very monster you claim to be against.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we don't have time for the clip. But
Speaker 2: Gutfeld goes on to say, disagreeing politically shouldn't be a
Speaker 2: reason to stop science. Yeah, no, kidding you. You believe
Speaker 2: in the science people, You're not gonna allow scientists who
Speaker 2: don't agree with you politically. That's a good way to
Speaker 2: move forward.
Speaker 1: And another point Greg makes is that Elon and entrepreneurs
Speaker 1: like them run rings around government programs and bureaus and
Speaker 1: the rest of it. They make them look as pathetic
Speaker 1: and slow and ineffective they are, and a lot of
Speaker 1: big government people hate.
Speaker 2: Him for that. Yeah, that is absolutely true. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: is awful. They accomplished too much for a tiny fraction
Speaker 2: of the money, and that makes them look bad.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: I don't remember the last time I was this excited
Speaker 2: about a news thing like I am about the Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris Brett Berry interview and the other thing I'm really
Speaker 2: excited about because I was just reading about it Israel
Speaker 2: striking Iran. The story is out like in the last
Speaker 2: couple hours. They're ready to go. Net Yahoo has stated
Speaker 2: he's going to do it in such a way as
Speaker 2: to not interfere with the presidential election. Will the election's
Speaker 2: twenty days away? See you? But he said it's going
Speaker 2: to be before it. But yeah, they have stated it's
Speaker 2: we have stated we know it's going to be before
Speaker 2: the election. He said it won't interfere. You better do
Speaker 2: it like this afternoon. I mean, it's the election is
Speaker 2: getting very very close.
Speaker 1: This is like one of the those riddles. My brother's
Speaker 1: not my sister. But my dad is my mother? Who
Speaker 1: am I You know, I didn't wait a minute before,
Speaker 1: but not affected?
Speaker 2: And what I think it's gonna happen really soon. It's
Speaker 2: gonna happen the next week. Here's your prediction of the
Speaker 2: day question standard kinetic warfare.
Speaker 1: Bombs from planes, missiles, et cetera, or something weird and unexpected.
Speaker 2: Huh. They seem like exploding pages.
Speaker 1: And I believe Israel has infiltrated the Mulla's beards. Their
Speaker 1: beards catch fire, they have a beard on the inside.
Speaker 1: You know, I was gonna I was picturing conventional, but
Speaker 1: they keep talking about how, Oh it'll be big and impressive.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure planes dropping bombs would be that shocking.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen that so much in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it would. What if they sank two
Speaker 1: thirds of the Iranian navy? Whoa something like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no idea. Yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 1: Anyway, what was I going to say? I said something
Speaker 1: about the interview. Oh. The one thing I hope Brett
Speaker 1: Bear asks and nails her down on is what economic
Speaker 1: level or class was her family growing up, because that's
Speaker 1: been unclear to me.
Speaker 2: Anyway. So this is you know, ninety percent of people
Speaker 2: consider themselves middle class.
Speaker 1: I have seen that sort of status.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the higher you go in income or net worth,
Speaker 1: the higher people say you have to be to be rich,
Speaker 1: which is interesting. We have culturally demonized is that too strong?
Speaker 1: Or success or wealth or being rich? I mean, because
Speaker 1: you'd think if it were in a cultural vacuum.
Speaker 2: People should be perfectly comfortable saying, you know, I'm pretty
Speaker 2: well all, I've become very successful. Yeah I'm rich.
Speaker 1: I mean if if I guess.
Speaker 2: If you want to be an ass hat, well no.
Speaker 1: Oh great, you fed up the cultural vacuum. I was
Speaker 1: a vacuum you brought, you brought You're a whore. Oh
Speaker 1: that's not what that word means. Yeah, you infected the vacuum.
Speaker 2: Are created.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think of parallels. Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: It has no objective meaning. The term rich, well, well,
Speaker 1: the term middle class clearly has no objective meaning.
Speaker 2: So it's used all the time. Each presidential candidate will
Speaker 2: say it ten times today, and it means nothing.
Speaker 1: It's obligatory to use that meaningless phrase. But you're an
Speaker 1: he had a if you use the other meaningless amorphous phrase.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about our culture and how odd
Speaker 1: it is. I'm trying to side if I'm against this
Speaker 1: or not. Well, if there's no objective meaning, all you
Speaker 1: have is amorphous terms. So who cares? We have real
Speaker 1: problems to solve, including this one with three weeks to
Speaker 1: go until election day. Advocates of mass mail voting and others.
Speaker 1: I'm quoting from a journal opinion piece here, but everybody's
Speaker 1: worrying about the reliability of mass mail voting. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: said this before. I shouldn't jump to the end at
Speaker 1: the beginning, but that's what I do. If you want
Speaker 1: to save this democracy, have everybody but the handicapped and
Speaker 1: soldiers on duty show up and vote in person. That
Speaker 1: will save democracy.
Speaker 2: What was the original push for all this? I grew
Speaker 2: up in a world where voting day was voting day
Speaker 2: pretty much period. What was the push for all this?
Speaker 1: Getting the lazy, the stupid, the indigent to get ballots?
Speaker 1: Why they lean much more heavily Democrats.
Speaker 2: Why did Republicans go along with that?
Speaker 1: Because it's difficult to argue against the the argument that's made.
Speaker 1: We want more people to vote, we want to make
Speaker 1: voting easy for people, it's your right, it's your sacred thing.
Speaker 2: Blah blah, that's our most sacred gay. Get off your
Speaker 2: lazy ass, which somehow is a hat, and get to
Speaker 2: the bowling place on election day. Right, Well, anyway, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right, it is so easy to DemoGod demogog Oh
Speaker 2: so the single mother with two jobs, if she can't
Speaker 2: vote on election day, she has no voice.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good argument, it is. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: although you know, certainly experts in this are probably screaming
Speaker 1: at the radio. Well there's a middle ground that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: But allowing vote harvesting and mass mailings of ballots all
Speaker 1: over the place for a month, oh it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's a fraud factory anyway.
Speaker 2: But they're voting in person for a month somewhere, a
Speaker 2: couple of places in person voting for a month. What
Speaker 2: does that cost us?
Speaker 1: Why? Anyway, during the twenty twenty two mid terms, just
Speaker 1: over twenty three thousand mail ballots were rejected in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: That's almost exactly two percent.
Speaker 2: These are numbers we should all know, because there's going
Speaker 2: to be lots of stuff rejected, and we should all
Speaker 2: go in knowing that that's common to reject, like I
Speaker 2: forget what the percentage is. We all learned this in
Speaker 2: two thousand and then we relearned it in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: but we'll have to relearn it again. There's a chunk
Speaker 2: of votes that get rejected a lot more than you
Speaker 2: would think all the time.
Speaker 1: So it was two percent in Pennsylvania, one point four
Speaker 1: percent in Michigan, and two percent in Nevada. The nightmare
Speaker 1: scenario they write after November fifth is that Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: or Donald Trump might be leading by a few thousand
Speaker 1: votes or less, in which case ballot errors and how
Speaker 1: they're resolved could affect the outcome.
Speaker 2: Well as Okay, so earlier we talked about Nate Silver's
Speaker 2: polling averages. Right now have six of the seven states
Speaker 2: with than a percent yes, So any of those states,
Speaker 2: it's going to get decided by people opening ballots and
Speaker 2: deciding whether or not you count it or not.
Speaker 1: Right, and then you get into well, you get into
Speaker 1: us a number of different things, including.
Speaker 2: What a mess that is? Why were two percent of
Speaker 2: ballots rejected? It was you know, postmark problems, signature problems,
Speaker 2: the way it was filled out, or whatever. It depends
Speaker 2: on what state you're in, what the requirements are.
Speaker 1: But that is, as you point out, that's like twice
Speaker 1: as many as you'd need to sway the election.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a tough one because I am a quite
Speaker 2: honest guy. But if I've got the job of sitting
Speaker 2: there opening ballots and I'm the does a signature match guy,
Speaker 2: It'd be pretty hard to not say it's close enough
Speaker 2: that one's not, that's close enough that one's not.
Speaker 1: I mean, you would have to be a person of
Speaker 1: sterling honor to not just hedge a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, even subconsciously.
Speaker 1: Maybe well right, yeah, yeah. Pennsylvania is the likeliest culprit,
Speaker 1: in part because the divided government in Harrisburg hasn't substantially
Speaker 1: updated its voting laws. As of Tuesday, one point seven
Speaker 1: million mail ballot applications were approved. That's sixty percent for
Speaker 1: voters registered Democrat and twenty eight and a half for
Speaker 1: percent for Republicans. Many GOP voters prefer going to the
Speaker 1: polls in person, whether it's a civic writer or who avoid
Speaker 1: the problems that cause mail ballot invalidation. And then they
Speaker 1: point out that this gap and voting preference can produce
Speaker 1: a red mirage, as it did four years ago. Trump
Speaker 1: won sixty five percent of Pennsylvania's in person in person votes,
Speaker 1: while Biden won seventy six percent of the mail ballots,
Speaker 1: which take.
Speaker 2: Longer to count. That's only a mirage if you're really dumb.
Speaker 1: There are a huge number of people, including our listeners,
Speaker 1: who don't understand that or don't blame.
Speaker 2: Oh, I hope once it's explained. Well, don't believe it's
Speaker 2: a different thing, but I would hope was explained to you.
Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense, as they explained on if you're
Speaker 2: watching on voting night. Has been that way for years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's always been that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so these are the in person then the they'll
Speaker 2: add in the ones they opened up.
Speaker 1: Right, It's just never mattered that much because there were
Speaker 1: so few super super tight swing states anyway in most elections.
Speaker 1: And interestingly enough.
Speaker 2: Although this might be the other way around, and you
Speaker 2: might hear the same bellowing for Democrats this time around.
Speaker 1: Percent, they'll just flip the script.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. There are a couple of states where the
Speaker 2: early voting mail in voting looked like it looks like
Speaker 2: it's swinging way Republican, so it could be the other
Speaker 2: way around. Kamala takes a lead, and you go to
Speaker 2: bed with her leading by you know, five percent. You
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning and she lost because they
Speaker 2: opened up the ballots and they're way more Republican ballots
Speaker 2: this time. And for what it's worth, big critical Swing
Speaker 2: Pencil doesn't even permit mail votes to be handled until
Speaker 2: the morning of election day, right, which is you can't
Speaker 2: open them, you can't check the signal, you can't do anything.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how I feel about that or not. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can kind of see the point because if you
Speaker 2: have a long time to do it, and you have
Speaker 2: time to think, wow, it looks like we're losing. What
Speaker 2: do you think we ought to do? Nah, I don't
Speaker 2: want all that time just sit there and open them up.
Speaker 1: And while our little discussion about the person saying that
Speaker 1: signature looks pretty good to me, that one not so much.
Speaker 1: We went further down the road than we had to
Speaker 1: because with the partisan divide in voting methods that many
Speaker 1: more Democrats vote by mail than Republicans. All it is
Speaker 1: all you have to do in the past. That might
Speaker 1: not be true in several states this year. Yeah, that'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see, I'll bet it's still true, just
Speaker 1: not as much. But anyway, we'll all find out together.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is, if you're a Democrat,
Speaker 1: you loosely interpret the rules. Like in Pennsylvania you have
Speaker 1: to fill out date and signed the official ballot declaration.
Speaker 1: The requirement of a handwritten date has been litigated for
Speaker 1: four years more to follow. At the moment, the status
Speaker 1: quo is that undated or obviously misdated ballots are set aside.
Speaker 1: But so you've got way more Democrats voting via mail
Speaker 1: than Republicans. So as a Democrat, I'm like, well, the
Speaker 1: right to vote is sacred. So a little date, what's
Speaker 1: a little date between friends? They thought it was the fourteenth,
Speaker 1: it's the thirteenth. I do that all the time. I'm
Speaker 1: still writing twenty twenty three on my checks. But if
Speaker 1: you're in a red state, it's that signature does not match.
Speaker 2: Ow wow. Well, if the polls are as close as
Speaker 2: a show, that's what I've been saying for a long time.
Speaker 2: I hope whoever wins wins easily, that it's not close,
Speaker 2: so we don't have this. If the polls are right,
Speaker 2: we ain't gonna know who's president for a month.
Speaker 1: Right, Jack wants a clear and decisive victory. Michael, what
Speaker 1: do I want under my Christmas tree? Michael, what what
Speaker 1: do I want under my Christmas tree?
Speaker 2: I don't know. A pony, always a pony, always a pony.
Speaker 2: Fun at a pony.
Speaker 1: Since I was a boy, and I'm as likely to
Speaker 1: get my pony as Jack is to get his decisive victory.
Speaker 1: You can afford a pony. Yeah, you always get a
Speaker 1: pony today. Boy, it'd be cruel as hell for me
Speaker 1: to climb on a pony. I mean, let's let's let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Get a sturdy pony. He's pony, particularly beefy
Speaker 1: and durable before I buy him a Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: the child in question is heavy set. Final note from
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, The litigation could wind up at
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and given the tenor of today's political times,
Speaker 1: god in the constant disparagement of the Supreme Court by
Speaker 1: the left, that dispute could make Bush v. Gore seem
Speaker 1: like a badminton scrimmage.
Speaker 2: I've not seen one of those, but I'm guessing they're
Speaker 2: fairly tepa.
Speaker 1: It's not even a badminton matched. Well, talk about practice
Speaker 1: badminton practice.
Speaker 2: Not even the game. Uh. I have kind of wanted this,
Speaker 2: but I also don't want it because I think it'd
Speaker 2: be bad for America. But to just watch it would
Speaker 2: be enjoyable to have it completely flipped, which could happen
Speaker 2: so easily, where you're seeing all the same arguments that
Speaker 2: Republicans were using last time around being made by Democrats,
Speaker 2: stolen election, all kinds of different stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I said about watching California crumble as
Speaker 1: some sort of progressive nightmare experiment. It's almost worth it
Speaker 1: to be able to see it.
Speaker 2: Almost And if the Supreme Court has to decide with
Speaker 2: the Trump appointees, then it's absolutely a stolen election and
Speaker 2: they'll talk stolen election for four years the rest of
Speaker 2: our lives. Oh my god, who's ready for this? We'll
Speaker 2: finish strong next. Here's this funny.
Speaker 9: Sends one high and deep to center field.
Speaker 2: Did he get it?
Speaker 1: Back on?
Speaker 9: It is Thomas, He's at the wall, he got it.
Speaker 9: It's a two run home run. Aaron Judge finally connects
Speaker 9: his first home run of this postseason sound he makes
Speaker 9: six to two Yankees.
Speaker 2: So both series are playing today. The Yankees won last
Speaker 2: night they're up two to oh over Cleveland whatever they are,
Speaker 2: and Dodgers Mets are tied one one and they played
Speaker 2: a day. Dodgers Yankees is always exciting just because you
Speaker 2: got the two biggest markets and a lot of attention
Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. He's some big star
Speaker 2: power there show Hey Tani and Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, major League baseballs desperate for that. Yeah, Yankees, Dodgers,
Speaker 1: both coasts, et cetera.
Speaker 2: So Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Kelsey Grammar Travis Kelcey,
Speaker 2: that'd be weird.
Speaker 1: I'm listening.
Speaker 2: That'd be funny if Taylor Swift Kelsey they're up in
Speaker 2: the booth at the Yankee game, right because they're big
Speaker 2: times celebrities. And that's what you do, is you get
Speaker 2: when Yankee when when New York teams start winning, if
Speaker 2: your celebrity, you go. But they're up there, and she
Speaker 2: on that home run she did the big mouths clapped her.
Speaker 2: I mean she does that her red red lipstick. She
Speaker 2: does it for every every exciting moment in her life.
Speaker 2: She acts like it's the first time she's seen whatever.
Speaker 6: Look for the bearcessities, the simple fairnesscessities like final thoughts
Speaker 6: to and in the other show, I mean the bairncessities
Speaker 6: Mother Nay Sure's recipes.
Speaker 2: Like final thoughts from our host Jack and Joe, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Here's your host for final fus Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Oh is that a ukulele? I believe so some sort
Speaker 1: of bang Joe. Let's get a final thought from everybody
Speaker 1: on the crew, beginning with our technical director Michael Angelo. Michael,
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for a crack up tonight.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping Brett Bear fact checks her to the point
Speaker 4: that she gets up, tips over the chair and just
Speaker 4: walks out.
Speaker 1: That would be dramatic. Katie Green a final thought for us.
Speaker 4: I was just once I have one of those mind
Speaker 4: where as soon as you say something, the picture pops
Speaker 4: up and now all I can picture is you getting
Speaker 4: a pony.
Speaker 1: Joe, it needs to be a shirt.
Speaker 2: Try to picture the pony look on his face.
Speaker 1: A final thought, Uh, yeah, I got it with Michael,
Speaker 1: A pony, whe long face. I got a fat guy
Speaker 1: on me.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of kind of hoping that at some point
Speaker 2: Calmonly just breaks down.
Speaker 6: Says quid, I can't do it, I'm too stupid.
Speaker 2: And she walks out of the room, like Michael said,
Speaker 2: that's what I'm moping for. That's funny.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the perfect when did you stop
Speaker 1: beating your wife? Question would be some Republicans have claimed
Speaker 1: you're too stupid to be the president? How stupid are you?
Speaker 2: Geez? Go ahead for Hitler then and she slams the
Speaker 2: door and runs out.
Speaker 1: I grew up in a middle class family.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty rabbgain but another grueling four hour work.
Speaker 1: There so many people think so little time good Armstrong,
Speaker 1: getdy dot com. The hot dogs are dogs. T shirts
Speaker 1: are ready. They're available, order now. Your favorite A and
Speaker 1: G fan will love them. Stand with the woman women

Speaker 2: Ah, that T shirt would be good under the tree
Speaker 2: for Christmas, or maybe on the on the pony, maybe
Speaker 2: the pony wears.
Speaker 1: Do we have pony sizes?
Speaker 2: We'll see tomorrow with highlights from the Kamala Harrison interview.
Speaker 2: In lots of other stuff, God blessed America. I'm strong
Speaker 2: and Getty.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred on the crazy meter.
Speaker 2: I say this a.
Speaker 1: Lot, even the particular field and particularly we have aspirations,
Speaker 1: we have dreams, so let's go with it. Fine, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll hammer her on that, Katie.
Speaker 4: I just hope Brett opens it by going, what's up?
Speaker 4: Cackles McNee pads.
Speaker 1: Oh no, stop it. No, that's an unauthorized comment by Katie.
Speaker 2: But she can say slip at the tongue that high note.
