Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Techie and Key Arms who live from studio c Hey
Speaker 1: dimple let room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Getty Communications Compound. And hey y'all, today we're under
Speaker 1: the two ledge of l Signor Mencho, El signor Mencho.
Speaker 1: I'll explain what that is in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Joe is not here. He's playing golf at some fancy,
Speaker 1: fancy golf course. I think he's going to call in
Speaker 1: at some point. He's playing at one of those golf
Speaker 1: courses that he got to know somebody special to play at,
Speaker 1: I think. Or he's just playing Pebble Beach, which is
Speaker 1: no minor thing either, but that is a public course.
Speaker 1: If you don't know anything about golf, that's a very
Speaker 1: big deal. Some of the best golf courses in the
Speaker 1: very world. Joe's a big golfer and that's where he is,
Speaker 1: and he will call in later. What is El sennor Mencho.
Speaker 1: El Sennor Mencho is the biggest drug kingpin in the
Speaker 1: world right now. He is in Mexico, he has been
Speaker 1: able to displace some of the bigger cartels down there
Speaker 1: that you've heard of for a variety of reasons, partially
Speaker 1: because the biggest cartels have been at war with each
Speaker 1: other and the Trump administration decided to crack down on fentanyl,
Speaker 1: as we all know, cracking down on a lot of
Speaker 1: drugs see boats exploding at sea, et cetera. But it
Speaker 1: has opened up an avenue for this guy, Senor Menchow,
Speaker 1: the biggest drug kingpin in the world for cocaine, has
Speaker 1: made a comeback in the United States, and apparently America's
Speaker 1: love of cocaine is driving Mexico's new drug king to
Speaker 1: cash in. Here's some of the stats that I thought
Speaker 1: were interesting that I did not know anything about because
Speaker 1: I'm not in that world. I've never been in that world,
Speaker 1: but I'm certainly not in that world now. Cocaine sold
Speaker 1: in the United States right now is cheaper than it
Speaker 1: has been in forever, and more pure that it has
Speaker 1: been forever. Consumption in the Western United States. Hey, that's
Speaker 1: where I live has increased one hundred and fifty four
Speaker 1: percent since twenty nineteen. WHOA how about that? And it's
Speaker 1: funny that I had that conversation. Did you hear that
Speaker 1: conversation I had yesterday, Katie. I was watching Bill Mars's show.
Speaker 1: Is actually the episode where he had on Charlie Kirk
Speaker 1: from just a couple of months ago. And Charlie Kirk,
Speaker 1: if you know Charlie kirk'said act at all. He doesn't drink,
Speaker 1: he doesn't do drugs of any kind, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And see he and Bill maher we're talking about that.
Speaker 1: And Charlie Kirk was making the argument that he said,
Speaker 1: I assume since he legalized pot that pot sales are up.
Speaker 1: And Bill Marherson, you know what, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he said, when I go to Hollywood parties, the young
Speaker 1: people don't have any interest in pot. They have interest
Speaker 1: in the old fashioned hard drugs like cocaine. I said
Speaker 1: that yesterday, and Joe and I were both like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I didn't think anybody was doing that sort
Speaker 1: of thing anymore because of fentanyl and all that. Well,
Speaker 1: here we are today with the Wall Street Journal saying
Speaker 1: cocaine is more pure than it has been in many,
Speaker 1: many years in the United States, and cocaine uses up
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four percent since twenty nineteen, So
Speaker 1: throw all through the whole pandemic and everything. Ohoh, and
Speaker 1: it's the belief that there ain't no fentanyl in that
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and warring factions have really taken down
Speaker 1: a lot of the fentanyl trades. You know.
Speaker 2: I know Joe said this a few times, but I
Speaker 2: still don't understand. And I get the fentanyls down, But
Speaker 2: how you could even play that kind of game?
Speaker 1: I know, either you're just hoping that. I guess you
Speaker 1: just know it's true. I mean, obviously people believe, and
Speaker 1: a part of that is how you get to be
Speaker 1: the world's richest drug kingpin. I guess word gets out
Speaker 1: that your stuff is pure, and people are I don't
Speaker 1: know how you trust your drug dealer that he's given
Speaker 1: you this stuff from this guy and not from somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Oh no, Kaman, he's a good guy, right.
Speaker 1: According to The Wall Street Journal, for new users, cocaine
Speaker 1: doesn't carry the stigma of fentnyl addiction, middle class addicts
Speaker 1: and the tragic spectacle of homeless crack cocaine users in
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties helped put a lid on America's last cocaine.
Speaker 1: Cocaine epidemic, but right now it's vaccine is like back
Speaker 1: being seen, is like what cool successful people do as
Speaker 1: opposed to people on the street leaning against the overpass
Speaker 1: with a hole in their leg from drank. So good
Speaker 1: luck to those of you out there doing the cocaine.
Speaker 1: So louck. I hate that news though, I mean because
Speaker 1: I got two teenagers headed out into the world. We'll
Speaker 1: see where this goes. The big news of the day,
Speaker 1: and I could have made the general manager is Jerome Powell,
Speaker 1: the chair to the Fed, as he is going to
Speaker 1: announce a rate cut today. The media is acting like
Speaker 1: it's a drama. It is not one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: economists to believe he's going to cut rates today. So
Speaker 1: that's a done deal. The only open question is heany
Speaker 1: give you that, Michael? The only question is how much?
Speaker 1: And practically all economists say a quarter point, some say
Speaker 1: possibly a half point. But the market has already reacted
Speaker 1: to that news. The effect on home mortgages and credit
Speaker 1: card rates is going to be pretty dang small. It's
Speaker 1: just it's the first step in the right direction. In
Speaker 1: the right direction if it continues to go those way
Speaker 1: to where people want to get. We're never going to
Speaker 1: get back to home interest rates that we had there
Speaker 1: for a while. Ever, it'll never it may never happen
Speaker 1: again in the history of capitalism. But it's tough because
Speaker 1: I've got in my head, just like you've gotten your
Speaker 1: that a three percent mortgage makes sense. I'm not getting
Speaker 1: a house until the mortgages get down to three. Well,
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. Currently, a thirty year mortgage is
Speaker 1: averaging six point three percent across the nation. That sounds
Speaker 1: insanely high based on what we've had for quite a
Speaker 1: few years. Historically, it's quite low. Historically you'd run out
Speaker 1: and buy a house if you had one, you'd go
Speaker 1: out and buy another one to take advantage of these
Speaker 1: six percent mortgage rates. But they feel really, really high.
Speaker 1: If you're locked into something in the threes, you're not
Speaker 1: going to sell your house because you go out and
Speaker 1: buy a smaller house at six point three percent with
Speaker 1: maybe a higher mortgage payment every month, and you're actually
Speaker 1: making for a smaller house. Mean, why would you do
Speaker 1: that unless you have to move so anyway, the rate
Speaker 1: adjustment today is not going to be enough to shake
Speaker 1: loose the housing market. Or make much of a debt
Speaker 1: in your credit card debt. Maybe we'll talk to some
Speaker 1: expert a little bit later about that, but they are
Speaker 1: going to rates today. That's almost guaranteed. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: in Great Britain. He's having a fancy pants dinner with
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister and going to meet the King later.
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting to stun a queen anymore. She passed
Speaker 1: long leave the King, King Charles, and so they'll meet
Speaker 1: and whoop whoop d s. I almost said a bad word.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you had some restraint.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a phrase my dad had used before, whoopd
Speaker 1: s saying the actual which I like that as a
Speaker 1: phrase too. Whoo whoop d s.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start using that.
Speaker 1: In terms of yeah, big deal. And that's the way
Speaker 1: I feel about President Trump meeting the King. Whoop d s.
Speaker 1: So anyway, there are some news that could come out
Speaker 1: of that, because they're probably going to they are going
Speaker 1: to have a one on one meeting Trump and Starmer,
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister, and they're going to talk about Ukraine, guaranteed,
Speaker 1: and hopefully some news will leak out of that. As
Speaker 1: far as the Charlie Kirk assassination. The latest is all
Speaker 1: these texts that we've learned between the killer and his
Speaker 1: boyfriend roommate. You got to help me out on this.
Speaker 1: I haven't been following this closely. When they say trans
Speaker 1: roommate lover boyfriend, do they mean it was a girl
Speaker 1: and now it's a boy.
Speaker 3: No, it is, it's a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be saying it. But this person was a
Speaker 1: girl and is now a boy or is a boy
Speaker 1: and his has always been a boy, but is hoping
Speaker 1: to become a girl.
Speaker 2: That the latter, So it is he is still a
Speaker 2: boy working on transitioning to be a girl.
Speaker 1: Okay, So anyway, the text to his boyfriend, and we'll
Speaker 1: read him verbatim a little bit later, but man has
Speaker 1: some rough stuff in there.
Speaker 3: Oh. In the media going on and on about how
Speaker 3: touching it was.
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that emotional touching moments between
Speaker 1: the two. He's a freaking cold blooded assassin. It doesn't
Speaker 1: the boyfriend girlfriend into it anyway. They might be a
Speaker 1: perfectly nice person, I don't know. And they're they're cooperating
Speaker 1: completely with law enforcement, which is nice. But yes, some
Speaker 1: of the texts about I just can't stand his hate anymore.
Speaker 1: I've got to do something, and then explaining how. So
Speaker 1: his plan was, according to the text to the boyfriend,
Speaker 1: was he'd dropped that gun in the woods. I guess
Speaker 1: he tried to go back and get it, but there
Speaker 1: was too many cops around, and he was planning to
Speaker 1: try to go back later and get the gun. And
Speaker 1: he said to the roommate boyfriend that if I can
Speaker 1: get the gun, I think I'm gonna get away with this.
Speaker 1: They won't have any way to figure out who I
Speaker 1: am or track me. So he dropped that rifle in
Speaker 1: the woods, thinking he could go back and get it
Speaker 1: and then dispose of it well, and he made a
Speaker 1: big mistake he left.
Speaker 2: Apparently he left a screwdriver up on the roof where
Speaker 2: he actually shot Charlie Kirk from and they got his
Speaker 2: DNA off of that, so he would have been screwed
Speaker 2: either way.
Speaker 1: What did he need the screwdriver for?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Did he I think there wasn't going to be this
Speaker 1: level of FBI manhunt action going on after he shot
Speaker 1: as high profile of person as Charlie Kirk. And then
Speaker 1: he planned poorly, but he thought, well, they'll just look
Speaker 1: around a little bit to leave. People will move on.
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the woods to get my gun.
Speaker 1: Wasn't the best plan in the world for somebody who
Speaker 1: supposedly had a very, very high IQ. But we can
Speaker 1: get into the actual details of those texts, and yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll listen to that news reporter who talked about the
Speaker 1: touching moments between the two. Sure, that's a sick way
Speaker 1: to look at this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, Cash Btello runs the FBI, was in front of
Speaker 1: Congress yesterday and he got into some great screaming matches
Speaker 1: with senators in the classic clown circus way that all
Speaker 1: of these hearings turn out to be. I think they
Speaker 1: should ban hearings. I don't think they do any of
Speaker 1: us any good. We'll play some highlights from that a
Speaker 1: little bit later. Might check in with one of our
Speaker 1: military analysts on where things are with Israel with one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty strikes in Gaza. You know, Gaza is
Speaker 1: not a very big area. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: are aware of this, if you've ever looked on to Matt,
Speaker 1: all of Gaza is smaller than the footprint of Chicago,
Speaker 1: the entire area, country, whatever you want to call. It's
Speaker 1: not a country obviously is pretty small. So one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty strikes in that are oh imagine one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty strikes on Chicago. That would seem like a lot.
Speaker 1: But we'll check in on that war and a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff. Let's start the show officially before
Speaker 1: I get in trouble at the FCC and they cracked
Speaker 1: me down and throw me in prison. I'm Jack Armstrong,
Speaker 1: He's Joe Getty on. This is a Wednesday up day.
Speaker 1: That's why we have a camel in the studio. Kind
Speaker 1: of large it is. It takes up a lot of
Speaker 1: space soon and Michael's job is to clean up after it,
Speaker 1: which is you know, another reason he doesn't like Wednesdays.
Speaker 1: I hate him Wednesday, September seventeenth. They are twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: We are Armstrong in Getty. We approve of this program,
Speaker 1: and we will begin the show following all FCC rules
Speaker 1: and regulations at mark but true, let getting a great
Speaker 1: stat I guess who does You didn't ever know it?
Speaker 2: Tou leg but out out he got Drake.
Speaker 1: The rake should be much Flawa, much much Flawa. That's
Speaker 1: Donald Trump referring to the Federal chairman that he chose
Speaker 1: as too late. He's done a poor job. He's called
Speaker 1: him stupid in the past and said he's like talking
Speaker 1: to a chair anyway, Jerome Powell will lower the interest
Speaker 1: rates a little bit later. No, we had a camel
Speaker 1: out at the farm for a while. Remember when I
Speaker 1: wanted to get a giraft, Michael, That was before you
Speaker 1: were on Katie was trying to get a giraffe. We
Speaker 1: had a camel okay for a while, and pretty nice beast.
Speaker 1: It walked around with the sheep and the horse and
Speaker 1: everything else. Theypit Uh, it didn't spit on me. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's spit occasionally, but it never. It never spit
Speaker 1: on me. That's a pretty decent beast. But it's harder
Speaker 1: to get a draft than you would think once you
Speaker 1: really look into it. You need all new fencing and yeah,
Speaker 1: it becomes a hole. It becomes a whole thing. When
Speaker 1: you decide to get a.
Speaker 3: Giraft, I can imagine that could be complicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what are you gonna do? Uh? We got
Speaker 1: Katie's headlines on the way and we gets into some
Speaker 1: of that news that we mentioned. Here's our text line
Speaker 1: four one, five, two, nine five kftc art he came
Speaker 1: across the details. So the reason the idiot murderer had
Speaker 1: a screwdriver up there on the roof and left it behind, Well,
Speaker 1: this isn't the reason he left it behind. That was
Speaker 1: an accident and had DNA on it, which will probably
Speaker 1: be enough to convict him, and they're gonna shoot him.
Speaker 1: So more on that later, the death penalty. But he
Speaker 1: had the screwdriver, he had taken apart the rifle so
Speaker 1: he could carry it in two parts in his pants
Speaker 1: to get up there, and then had to reassemble it,
Speaker 1: so that.
Speaker 3: Makes sense, and then he left it behind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you'd probably be in a little bit of
Speaker 1: a panic when you'd just taken someone's life. All right,
Speaker 1: God dang it, how anybody does that? Okay, let's find
Speaker 1: out what's going on headlines with Katie Green.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll start with Breitbart.
Speaker 2: Older man initially arrested after Charlie Kirk shooting confessed to
Speaker 2: distracting police from the real shooter.
Speaker 1: I saw this story. We've got to go into the
Speaker 1: details on this. How weird, and that is going to
Speaker 1: help conspiracy people think that this was more than just
Speaker 1: a lone gunman. Who would have those thoughts immediately? It
Speaker 1: was me. It was me to distract the police to
Speaker 1: help somebody get away. I mean that, who would think that?
Speaker 2: Well, a guy who, within further investigation, was also just
Speaker 2: busted for possessing and distributing child porn obvios.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's all kinds of crazy. But that's still say.
Speaker 1: More on that coming up. That's a heck of a
Speaker 1: story from ABC.
Speaker 2: The Federal Reserves set to unveil its latest decision on.
Speaker 3: The level of interest rate.
Speaker 1: I call him too late. He's like talking to a chair.
Speaker 3: From The New York Times.
Speaker 2: Israel pounds Gaza City as fears mount for hostages and
Speaker 2: those inside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure, and the chance of getting the hostages
Speaker 1: out alive is very very low. The problem is, after
Speaker 1: all of this time, Israel's made the determination, and I
Speaker 1: think they're right. They ain't get the hostages back alive anyway,
Speaker 1: and they.
Speaker 3: Think there's still twenty that are a lot. Wow.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 3: From NBC.
Speaker 2: Four arrested after photos of Trump and Epstein projected onto
Speaker 2: Windsor Castle during President's UK visits.
Speaker 1: I saw that so Joe was in England and found
Speaker 1: this out. Epstein is a bigger story there in London
Speaker 1: than it is here in the United States, really because
Speaker 1: of Prince Andrew and everything like that. Oh yeah. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons they're keeping Trump away from crowds is
Speaker 1: there's concerns there's gonna be all kinds of people screaming.
Speaker 1: Epstein questions at him.
Speaker 2: From CNN, More families sue character AI developer alleging app
Speaker 2: played role in teams suicide and suicide attempts.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is wild. I haven't had conversations, and maybe
Speaker 1: I should just to check it out. I haven't had
Speaker 1: like heart to heart conversations with the with the chatbots
Speaker 1: I have. It feels weird you.
Speaker 2: Have, I have, and it's it's very personable.
Speaker 1: Like you feel like you're talking to somebody. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: passes the Turing test. It seems like a human.
Speaker 3: Roh.
Speaker 2: And you know to a kid, I mean, I'm thirty
Speaker 2: six years old to a fourteen year old, that's a human.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 3: From The Washington.
Speaker 2: Post, Jerry leaves Ben and Jerry's saying parent company silenced
Speaker 2: his activism.
Speaker 1: I saw that. Man. Those ice cream dudes are crazy.
Speaker 1: Their politics are nuts. The ice cream is delicious.
Speaker 3: His quote goes it's about more than just ice cream.
Speaker 3: All right, No, it's not. You're an ice cream company.
Speaker 1: Just be a non important hippie there in Vermont.
Speaker 2: Go Thank you from Study Fines Beauty Sleep isn't a myth.
Speaker 2: Neurologist explains how rest can keep your skin youthful.
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that. That's why I look like the
Speaker 1: way a lizard. That's why I look like a lizard.
Speaker 1: Not enough sleep.
Speaker 2: And finally from the Babylon Bee Satan blowing up as
Speaker 2: top influencer on Blue Sky.
Speaker 1: So a bunch of those stories we need to fill out,
Speaker 1: especially that old man who distracted the cops, and he
Speaker 1: did a good job of it. I mean that that
Speaker 1: had all the attention there in the first fifteen twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: If you were following the assassination on Twitter, would you
Speaker 1: come up with that off the top of your head?
Speaker 1: Or was he working with the numb nuts a lot
Speaker 1: on the way. I hope you can stay here. If
Speaker 1: you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: on demand. Armstrong and Getty. You can't lecture me.
Speaker 4: You can tell her Tiget.
Speaker 1: But I am, mister chairman, not afraid of you. Verbal
Speaker 1: fireworks on Capitol Hill today as FBI.
Speaker 5: Director Cash Pattel took incoming criticism from both sides of
Speaker 5: the aisle.
Speaker 1: He saved your plates pretty full.
Speaker 5: I would urge you get with your people and if
Speaker 5: you think you need more people, now's the time to
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 1: Will you look, I will look, sir. So that's a
Speaker 1: little bit of the hearing yesterday that had the FBI
Speaker 1: Director Cash Pattel there in front of some Senate and
Speaker 1: that was Senator Corey Booker yelling you can't intimidate me
Speaker 1: or fright me or I'm not scared of you or
Speaker 1: whatever it was. He said, I wasn't paying attention. And
Speaker 1: we'll have more of that one because that was pretty
Speaker 1: fiery a little bit later. But we've got a different
Speaker 1: one to feature this segment. I forgot I came across this.
Speaker 1: There continues to be a lot of blowback around the
Speaker 1: horrifying assassination for people who are either cheering it on
Speaker 1: or taking odd views on it. Former Batman Michael Keaton
Speaker 1: got the rough edge of the internet yesterday as he
Speaker 1: was given a speech somewhere where he said the irony
Speaker 1: was he was killed with a gun, and that is
Speaker 1: unbelievable because he believed in the Second Amendment and people's
Speaker 1: right to own a gun. I do not get how
Speaker 1: that is ironic. What is that?
Speaker 3: It's nothing?
Speaker 1: It's nothing. It's a nothing, unless unless you're taking some
Speaker 1: sort of absolutist you think there's a world we could
Speaker 1: live in where nobody had guns, I mean a deer rifle.
Speaker 1: Nobody has ever even considered the idea that we're gonna
Speaker 1: outlaw deer rifles, which is what was used to kill
Speaker 1: poor Charlie Kirk. So I don't, I don't even. I
Speaker 1: don't even. I don't what is your point? I guess
Speaker 1: it makes you sound you feel like that makes you
Speaker 1: sound enlightened or cool around this issue.
Speaker 2: I don't know well, and these people are unhinged. You know,
Speaker 2: you know who Jennifer Coolidge is. She was Stiffler's mom,
Speaker 2: an American pie. Okay, yeah, she's great. She is such
Speaker 2: a wonderful person. I've actually had the privilege of meeting her.
Speaker 2: What these people are doing is they're going to all
Speaker 2: of their favorite celebrities and seeing who they follow. And
Speaker 2: Jennifer Coolidge followed Charlie Kirk's page every single post on
Speaker 2: this woman's Instagram right now is flooded with comments.
Speaker 3: You followed Charlie Kirk, You're a Nazi, and it's like, ah, yeah,
Speaker 3: they're unhinged.
Speaker 1: Wow. And part of it is the belief of and
Speaker 1: I definitely think this is mostly the Left, that the
Speaker 1: real world is online. That's where everything important occurs is
Speaker 1: in the you know, the direct messages of Twitter people
Speaker 1: or Blue Sky people, and that is not where the
Speaker 1: real world is. But right, okay, we'll have more on
Speaker 1: that a little bit later. So back to the hearing
Speaker 1: yesterday with the FBI director. There, these things always devolve
Speaker 1: into shouting matches, with people talking over the top of
Speaker 1: each other. I don't know if anything is ever accomplished
Speaker 1: in these hearings. As I've pointed out many times before,
Speaker 1: and this is true, each congressperson, senator, their goal is
Speaker 1: to get on the evening news in their state or
Speaker 1: district looking like a hero, and that's that's there's really
Speaker 1: no attempt to accomplish anything beyond that. But anyway, Adam Schiff,
Speaker 1: who I'm embarrassed to say is my one of my
Speaker 1: US senators. Here in one last hold on, hold on, uh,
Speaker 1: here's Adam Scheff Scheff. He is one of the senators
Speaker 1: here in the state of California, and I think he
Speaker 1: is a absolute, complete, top to bottom fraud. And they
Speaker 1: had just got into the discussion of why was g
Speaker 1: dog Gislaine Maxwell moved from a real prison to a
Speaker 1: phony prison, which is a question I actually have, But
Speaker 1: he is talking to the FBI director about it, and
Speaker 1: then it started to go off the rails.
Speaker 6: Let me ask you one last question, and that is,
Speaker 6: right after she gives this testimony front of an FBI agent,
Speaker 6: among others, she's transferred to a minimum security prison not
Speaker 6: suitable for a sex offender like herself.
Speaker 3: Who made that decision and why.
Speaker 1: The Bureau of Prisons, the.
Speaker 6: Bureau of Decisions made it in prisons, The Bureau Prisons
Speaker 6: decided on their own, without any consultation with Blanche or
Speaker 6: anyone else, that they were gonna suddenly, after this interview,
Speaker 6: completely unrelated to this interview, completely unrelated to anything she said,
Speaker 6: move her to a prison not suitable for a sex offender.
Speaker 1: You want the American people to believe that?
Speaker 6: Do you think they're stupid?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I think the American people believe the truth that I'm
Speaker 4: not in the weeds on the everyday movements in what
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 7: Doing is protecting this country, providing historic affairs, and I'm
Speaker 7: batting the weaponization of intelligence by the likes of Europe.
Speaker 7: And we have talentlessly proven you to be a lawyer
Speaker 7: in Russia Gate in January sixth, brought to ever since
Speaker 7: the United States Senate.
Speaker 1: I have disgrace to this, Michael, just because my head's
Speaker 1: gonna explode. We'll get back to this for a second.
Speaker 1: But they're so pointless, Oh they really are. We need
Speaker 1: to figure something out. Maybe they should do it. It
Speaker 1: should be written you you, you send questions and then
Speaker 1: they send a written response, and if we all want
Speaker 1: to read the questions response, we could do that. That
Speaker 1: might actually be a pretty good idea because it would
Speaker 1: it would eliminate all the showmanship and the talking over
Speaker 1: each other and all that sort of stuff. Now, I
Speaker 1: actually am very interested in the why did you get
Speaker 1: moved to the lesser prison? And whose idea was that?
Speaker 1: And everything like that, But what in the FBI director
Speaker 1: He doesn't have anything to do with it, and then
Speaker 1: he turns it into Russia Gate and all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff, which Adam Shift was the greatest proponent of
Speaker 1: and as a complete fraud, as I already said. But
Speaker 1: let's get back to them talking at the same time.
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised.
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised.
Speaker 7: You continue to lie from your person and put on
Speaker 7: the show so you can go raise money for your charade.
Speaker 1: You are political buffoon at best.
Speaker 8: Oh well, you can take the FBI protected the state
Speaker 8: and citicize California Historic.
Speaker 1: Order.
Speaker 4: But all you care about is a child sex predator
Speaker 4: that was prosecuted by a prior administration and the Obama
Speaker 4: Justice Department and the Biden Justice Department did squad?
Speaker 3: And what did President Trump do?
Speaker 7: Bring new charges courageously?
Speaker 1: And what have we done?
Speaker 7: Transparent FBI director in history thirty three thousand pages of
Speaker 7: information to you, I challenge you to say anything credibly.
Speaker 1: To the truth. Go ahead and run to the cameras
Speaker 1: where you want to go next. Both of you'll be quiet.
Speaker 1: Both of you be quiet, said the one hundred and
Speaker 1: five year old Grassley of Iowa.
Speaker 2: I just bang that gavel, dude.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how we
Speaker 1: break out of these hearings that turn into this all
Speaker 1: the time. Now, Cash Mattel making a good point there,
Speaker 1: that needs to be made over and over. I would
Speaker 1: prefer he makes it calmly. But the Obama administration had
Speaker 1: this information. The Biden administration had this information. If you
Speaker 1: wanted to do anything as a bunch of Democrats around Epstein,
Speaker 1: you had the chance. If there's any there there, you
Speaker 1: could have released it at the time. The whole Epstein thing,
Speaker 1: I don't get it at all, but I guess so
Speaker 1: at some point, maybe we don't have that or maybe
Speaker 1: it doesn't work for audio. They Shift wouldn't stop talking.
Speaker 1: So Grassley, who is the senior member there in the
Speaker 1: chair of the committee, had the ability to turn off
Speaker 1: Adam Shift's microphone. So Adam Shift's microphone was turned off
Speaker 1: for a while. Or maybe that's what was going on there.
Speaker 1: Is that why Hanson? Is that okay? So that's why
Speaker 1: Patel was going on and on and Shift stopped talking.
Speaker 1: Ship's microphone got turned off beautiful by the chair.
Speaker 2: Now, while these things are stupid, I do appreciate the
Speaker 2: political buffoon line.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and if we could isolate that, I thought
Speaker 1: that was really cool. You are a buffoon and the
Speaker 1: Ship said, well, his response was, well, hell, I didn't
Speaker 1: know what to say to that exactly. I'm a phone,
Speaker 1: am I. I guess that's the advantage of it being
Speaker 1: in the majority, so that it's your party that holds
Speaker 1: the little microphone button, because obviously you could have turned
Speaker 1: off either one of their microphones or both their microphones
Speaker 1: there when they're shouting over each other, but they turned
Speaker 1: off poor Adams Shift's microphone. Finnest neck I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Yes, Michael, you didn't say no when you know he's
Speaker 3: asked that question.
Speaker 1: He just kind of went, well, are you a bufore me?
Speaker 1: You know you got it like you caught me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: caught me, befu you dead. You caught me with my buffoonery.
Speaker 1: There's my buffoonery that gave me away. I had another
Speaker 1: point to make. What was it? When you get to
Speaker 1: be old, your points flit out of your head now
Speaker 1: and then I think a ton and yelling each other
Speaker 1: and the FBI Adam Shift in his thin neck and not.
Speaker 3: A long hitter, Mike being turned off, Mike.
Speaker 1: Being turned off. I know I had a point. I
Speaker 1: don't it'll come back. It'll come back eventually. Whether we
Speaker 1: get anything out of those hearings, I really don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe the point will pop it into my head while
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Price Picks, which you should get into
Speaker 1: if you have strong sports opinions, and if you're a
Speaker 1: sports fan you do. You've got opinions. Put your money
Speaker 1: where your mouth is. Make money off of your opinions

Speaker 1: more passes than that, or fewer or whatever. If you
Speaker 1: get your picks right, you could cash in. Prize Picks

Speaker 1: good to be right, and there's some exciting games going
Speaker 1: on this weekend, and Joe Burrow is out for weeks
Speaker 1: for the Bengals, which really really sucks if you're a
Speaker 1: Bengals fan. So we got the Corey Booker and Cash
Speaker 1: Mattel's screaming at each other. We'll separate that by a
Speaker 1: couple hours because I can only take so much of that.
Speaker 1: I do want to hear the Cory Burker version, but
Speaker 1: I can't hear them back to back, so we'll separate
Speaker 1: that with some other stuff. We got some good guests
Speaker 1: coming up throughout the show to talk about a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different things. Lahy Chen a little bit later,
Speaker 1: who knows more about California politics than anybody I know,
Speaker 1: talking about that ridiculous referendum that Gavin Newsom is trying
Speaker 1: to get going in November to redistrict right. That's his
Speaker 1: attempt to take on Texas's redistricting. It's really Gavin Newsom's
Speaker 1: attempt to raise his name and face above everybody else
Speaker 1: to be the Democratic nominee. To that point, Governor Josh
Speaker 1: Shapiro Pennsylvania came out and gave a speech yesterday guaranteed
Speaker 1: that's funny. The first thing I thought when I saw
Speaker 1: Josh Shapiro on one of the cable news channels given
Speaker 1: a speech yesterday, and he was talking about the political
Speaker 1: discourse in this country and how we need to tone
Speaker 1: it down. And remember some nutjob tried to burn down
Speaker 1: his house while he was in it, him and his wife.
Speaker 1: That was a horrible story. It could have been really horrible. Anyway,
Speaker 1: The reason he gave that speech yesterday was he's like,
Speaker 1: Newsom's getting all the attention. I need to raise my
Speaker 1: profile a little bit. Gavin Newsom is going to get
Speaker 1: his hind end kicked on November fourth, because that prop
Speaker 1: he's pushing is polling horribly, even among Democrats. But we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that with a couple different people. And the
Speaker 1: prospects for Gavin Newsom of being the nominee and running
Speaker 1: against Trump in his third term or whatever it's going
Speaker 1: to be. Please. So the story of the old man
Speaker 1: who pretended he was the shooter to draw the attention
Speaker 1: away from the actual shooter. The details on that are interesting,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't know if I'm buying it.
Speaker 1: That's coming up next. Stay tuned.
Speaker 7: You are political buffoon at best.
Speaker 9: Well, guys, the stock markets has hit a record high,
Speaker 9: and there are a lot of interesting reasons why stocks
Speaker 9: go up or down.
Speaker 1: I'll show you what I mean. It's time for stockwatch.
Speaker 9: First, up, the Spirit Halloween stock is up because they
Speaker 9: just got a fresh shipment of Philly's Karen and Coldplay
Speaker 9: couple costumes.
Speaker 1: Here's another.
Speaker 9: Venmo stock is down because anyone who says all venmo
Speaker 9: U after brunch is a lying bass. And finally, Cracker
Speaker 9: Barrel stock is holding SETI because they're afraid to change anything.
Speaker 1: Ever again, noelb to move. If you're a woman, Philly
Speaker 1: Karen is a pretty good costume. If you're like a
Speaker 1: middle aged woman, that's a good and it's easy to
Speaker 1: throw together. That's what we're all looking for, right, something
Speaker 1: really easy. Absolutely, so you throwing a hat. This is
Speaker 1: before I get to real important stuff. This is the
Speaker 1: kind of headline that I miss back when Joe and
Speaker 1: I before the world went crazy like ten years ago
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, and we would like be scrambling
Speaker 1: to find things to talk about. This is the sort
Speaker 1: of thing that would make the news. American tennis star
Speaker 1: Taylor Townsend has apologized from the bottom of her heart
Speaker 1: for making disparaging comments about Chinese food. See that's the
Speaker 1: sort of controversy we need in this world. Yeah, American
Speaker 1: tennis star bad mouths Chinese food good or bad? Upper down?
Speaker 1: How outraged are you? So? This is a little from
Speaker 1: ABC News last night and their report on the latest
Speaker 1: with the scumbag killer.
Speaker 10: The man accused of gunning down conservative activist Charlie Kirk
Speaker 10: in front of hundreds of people, appearing before judge for
Speaker 10: the first time, now charged with seven counts, including aggravated murder.
Speaker 10: Prosecutors said they would be seeking the death penalty.
Speaker 1: So on the death penalty. They have the firing squad
Speaker 1: there in the Utah. So gotta believe that a guy
Speaker 1: who shot another guy to death standing there and getting
Speaker 1: shot to death himself would be I wouldn't mind seeing
Speaker 1: it go out that way. Here's the part that angered
Speaker 1: people from ABC News. We have seen an.
Speaker 10: Alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged
Speaker 10: murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed,
Speaker 10: what was on it.
Speaker 1: But also it was very touching in a way that
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 5: Many of us didn't expect, a very intimate tortrait into
Speaker 5: this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself,
Speaker 5: with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling
Speaker 5: him my love and I want to protect you, my love.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's worse hearing it than in print. In print,
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, that's kind of a weird angle to take,
Speaker 1: but hearing it, it was really touching. Yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: the focus of the story. That's a weird way to
Speaker 1: look at that. You got a guy who at that
Speaker 1: point had he just killed Charlie Kirk. Was this just before?
Speaker 1: It depends on which text you're looking at, but you
Speaker 1: gotta a murderous scumbag. Let's not get into how touching
Speaker 1: his romance was with his boyfriend girlfriend. That's weird. That's
Speaker 1: a weird thing to do.
Speaker 3: That's just they're just reaching at this point.
Speaker 1: I'll get into those texts a little bit later because
Speaker 1: they are kind of interesting. So a story that we've
Speaker 1: already alluded to, more of the details on it, and
Speaker 1: it's weird. If you were following this on Twitter, which
Speaker 1: is the way to follow all news stories. If there's
Speaker 1: a big story that breaks the news and you're flipping
Speaker 1: on cable TV or looking at the new York Times,
Speaker 1: you're going to be hours behind getting information. You can
Speaker 1: get information immediately on Twitter. Now you have to be
Speaker 1: careful because a lot of it turns out to be
Speaker 1: fake or wrong, but the really information is usually in
Speaker 1: there somewhere if you dig hard enough. There was a
Speaker 1: video of an old guy being held down on the
Speaker 1: ground by cops and looked like maybe being cuffed. That
Speaker 1: came out Wow, within moments of Charlie Kirk being shot.
Speaker 1: That I saw on Twitter right and thought, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: they got the old guy. He was right there. And
Speaker 1: then it was later announced to know this person had
Speaker 1: been let go. Oh, and it's like, okay, boy, that
Speaker 1: was a heck of mistake. A poor old guy. How
Speaker 1: did that happen to him? Well, this is how it happened.
Speaker 1: I'm reading from the New York Post version. This guy
Speaker 1: named George Zinn, elderly rabble rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities,
Speaker 1: was being charged with the number of things yesterday, including
Speaker 1: child porn. Don't get confused by the child porn. That's
Speaker 1: a separate thing. It's awful, he's a scumbag, but that's
Speaker 1: a separal thing. This seventy one year old man started yelling,
Speaker 1: I did it, I did it. I'm the shooter, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, immediately after Charlie Kirk gets to the bullet
Speaker 1: in the neck and goes over backwards and dies right,
Speaker 1: he was taken into custodeer. They grabbed him right there,
Speaker 1: and then eventually he fessed up to not being the
Speaker 1: shooter and said that he was just trying to He
Speaker 1: actually said that he was just trying to help the
Speaker 1: shooter get away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which means authorities went all hands on deck with
Speaker 2: this guy, right, the actual the other scumbag, the actual
Speaker 2: killer got away.
Speaker 1: Now, they grabbed his phone, you know, because they thought
Speaker 1: he had done it. And when they were going through
Speaker 1: his phone, they found all kinds of childborn picks. And
Speaker 1: now he's going to prison for that because he's a
Speaker 1: childborn wordo. But is it even conceivable? So he obviously
Speaker 1: did not like Charlie Kirk. He was somebody who was
Speaker 1: there to like hate watch Charlie Kirk. Is it even conceivable?
Speaker 1: It'd be like if I went to I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to be in a good example
Speaker 1: of some lefty pundit who I can't stand, and I
Speaker 1: just wanted to see what they had to say. But
Speaker 1: is it even conceivable that he was there? A shot
Speaker 1: rings out, Charlie Kirk goes over backwards and he immediately thinks,
Speaker 1: I know what I'll do. I'll yell it was me,
Speaker 1: I'm the shooter, so that the person who did it
Speaker 1: can get away. I just find that very difficult to
Speaker 1: believe that anybody, especially a seventy one year old man,
Speaker 1: would have the presence of mind to up with that
Speaker 1: plan immediately with one second's notice.
Speaker 2: That that's his knee jerk reaction is to start yelling that.
Speaker 1: That just seems unlikely.
Speaker 2: Now I'm seeing this guy is known for being kind
Speaker 2: of a rabble rouser at political events and whatnot. He's
Speaker 2: actually had run ends with authorities. But because of this,
Speaker 2: but something's up here, I.
Speaker 1: Think it's just well, like I said, it just seems
Speaker 1: unlikely that you would have those thoughts immediately like that,
Speaker 1: and I guarantee it helped scumback get away. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: he didn't get away get away, but get away in
Speaker 1: the moment. If everybody's attention was on that guy, that's very,
Speaker 1: very weird, and certainly he's going to fuel conspiracy theories
