Speaker 2: According to Google trends leaving up to Halloween, candy corn
Speaker 2: was the most searched candy in thirty four states between September.
Speaker 1: Third and October third.
Speaker 2: I assume the top search on the subject was ran
Speaker 2: out of cat litter.
Speaker 1: Candy corn also worked.
Speaker 2: Who is strange line? Who is searching? Well, he's pointing
Speaker 2: out that candy corn sucks.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: That's like your opinion? Man, who's searching on candy corn?
Speaker 3: The delicious multi hued candy corn, Three delicious flavors in
Speaker 3: one candy in case you run out of crayon, stitue on. Wow,
Speaker 3: you're heard of tasting.
Speaker 2: You don't get to say anything about candy or food
Speaker 2: in general. All right, this, I'm blind man reviewing an
Speaker 2: art display.
Speaker 1: What the hell? What kind of monster are you?
Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal I mentioned this the other day.
Speaker 2: America's newest hit candy is gummy, crunchy and printing money nerds.
Speaker 2: Gummy clothes clusters are everywhere this Halloween born from years
Speaker 2: of geeky research.
Speaker 1: And executives going with their gut.
Speaker 2: It's actually a pretty interesting story about how they came
Speaker 2: up with the idea of putting.
Speaker 1: This various flavors together.
Speaker 2: Katie, you said you like the Nerds gummy clusters, but
Speaker 2: they are They are the hottest candy in America by far.
Speaker 1: I describe the flavor for anybody who hasn't my had one,
Speaker 1: it's sour ish.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you've had Nerds, it's basically a sticky
Speaker 4: candy covered in nerds.
Speaker 1: I've been a nerd.
Speaker 3: I haven't had a nerd'jut, so I don't know much
Speaker 3: about candy. But you said the other day it was
Speaker 3: like multi flavors as you go. It is like a
Speaker 3: nicely structured wine that opens with brambleberry and gives way
Speaker 3: to peach.
Speaker 1: And I put one in my mouth.
Speaker 2: We bought them the other day because I'd read about
Speaker 2: it in the Wall Street Journal, and I put one
Speaker 2: in my mouth and I spit it out immediately. I
Speaker 2: found the taste so unbelievably appealing. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I've ever spent anything out before like that, but it's
Speaker 2: the hottest candy in America.
Speaker 1: The COVID has bent your brain, right, Sure, Michael, if
Speaker 1: you had one of these, no, No, okay, Well I'm
Speaker 1: the only child, and I think they're delicious. Well, Michael's
Speaker 1: got diabetes.
Speaker 2: COVID ruined my sensitive taste, and so yeah, it's a
Speaker 2: we're not good for candy.
Speaker 3: I'll be having some smoked salmon with a bit of
Speaker 3: camon bear.
Speaker 1: Whatever that word means. By fantastic.
Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about movies because I think
Speaker 2: my thirteen year old feels like he's too old to
Speaker 2: trig or treat now. And we're gonna stay home and
Speaker 2: watch a movie now and hand out candy if anybody
Speaker 2: comes by, although I don't know if anybody's going to
Speaker 2: come into my cult set.
Speaker 3: Hey, for what it's worth, when my kids made the
Speaker 3: transition from getting to giving, they loved it, They loved
Speaker 3: greeting the little kids at the door, and just feel
Speaker 3: enjoy it.
Speaker 1: He wants to do that.
Speaker 2: I just don't think we're gonna get any treaters where
Speaker 2: we live currently. Unfortunately. I'd love it if a bunch
Speaker 2: of kids came by. That'd be fantastic. So we might
Speaker 2: watch a scary movie and trying to figure out what
Speaker 2: to watch. We came across this. This is I've never
Speaker 2: seen The Exorcist. I don't think came out in seventy three.
Speaker 2: I'd have been way too young to watch a movie
Speaker 2: like that, And then I've never gotten around to it.
Speaker 2: But here's here's people reacting to The Exorcist back in
Speaker 2: the day when it first came out.
Speaker 1: I think it's disgusting.
Speaker 3: What's is The thing I've ever seen is weird turn
Speaker 3: her head around. We have a lot of people throwing
Speaker 3: up and a lot of people shuddering.
Speaker 1: But the thing that really surprises me is people faint.
Speaker 4: I mean, I have never in my life known a
Speaker 4: movie where people would faint.
Speaker 5: I never took my coat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So a famous scene the Exorcist, which I have seen
Speaker 2: clips of as our headspins completely around, was that woman
Speaker 2: laughing or crying?
Speaker 3: Was she crying because weeping? Yeah, she couldn't compose herself.
Speaker 3: Was this before special effects were a thing?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: No, no actors were harmed in the making of this
Speaker 2: head spin? I mean I think it was fine.
Speaker 3: Well, there were all sorts of the head spin and
Speaker 3: then throwing up green glop as I recall all sorts
Speaker 3: of jump Scares and horrors where a little girl turns
Speaker 3: into an evil demon.
Speaker 2: Hey, I so there was a I saw an ad
Speaker 2: the other night. I should have written it down for
Speaker 2: a new movie. I imagine it's out right now. I
Speaker 2: suppose you put out scary movies for Halloween. It's some
Speaker 2: new movie and the the taglines were all about how
Speaker 2: it's Oh, I know what I saw.
Speaker 1: Let me site I can find the notes on it.
Speaker 1: How many huh? I think it was Terrifier three.
Speaker 2: Probably is, Yeah, what do you know about terrifier three?
Speaker 4: It's it's obviously it's a third of the these movies
Speaker 4: about this just horrifically creepy clown and they're very gory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so people are the very title of the movie
Speaker 2: has to tell them what happens in the movie. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I read like laughing haha one through seven or I
Speaker 2: guess comedies. This is what got me on the topic
Speaker 2: of I don't understand people who like these movies. And
Speaker 2: I have plenty of friends who love gory, scary movies.
Speaker 2: I don't get it at all. I have zero interest.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of them. I just don't find them
Speaker 2: in the least been entertaining personally me either.
Speaker 3: Oddly, my son is not only a connoisseur of these movies,
Speaker 3: but has written brilliantly. He does blogs and stuff on
Speaker 3: horror movies. He's got the Jason tattoo on him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's its own.
Speaker 2: It's like you either like country music or not, or whatever,
Speaker 2: or candy Corner not it's it's it's a thing and
Speaker 2: some people love it and I have no interest in it.
Speaker 2: But Terra Fire three used twenty gallons of blood for
Speaker 2: this vomit inducing kill scene. All right, yay, see, I
Speaker 2: love you love horror movies.
Speaker 1: You're in that character? Yeah, what's your what's your like? Quick?
Speaker 1: Off the top of your head? Your favorite? Top three?
Speaker 4: The show, top three, the Shining, conjuring and the bludgeting, Shining,
Speaker 4: the contrig and the Bloodgerd. I would say boys, probably
Speaker 4: Ring the Ring.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you know that twenty.
Speaker 3: Gallons of blood reminds me of my favorite joke. Tried
Speaker 3: to donate blood at the Red Cross the other day
Speaker 3: and they said, where'd you get all that blood?
Speaker 1: And why is it in a bucket? Exactly? I guess
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't let me Anyway, anyway, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: blood back to you.
Speaker 1: You you have a you have a favorite scary movie.
Speaker 2: I do have a favorite because I I've watched them
Speaker 2: with like girlfriends or friends over the years, and that
Speaker 2: sort of thing I really liked. I really actually enjoyed
Speaker 2: the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie back in the day.
Speaker 1: It was so.
Speaker 2: Something about how poorly filmed it was made it seem real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of the Blair Witch project. He captured
Speaker 3: that feel years later that that's one of my favorites,
Speaker 3: although it turns stupid toward the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm I don't like horror movies really, and my wife doesn't,
Speaker 3: so I'm really stretching to find a good example.
Speaker 1: Michael, have you ever seen the movie break Down with
Speaker 1: Kurt Russell.
Speaker 3: Yes, that one actually really frightened me because you know,
Speaker 3: you're stuck out in the middle of the desert and
Speaker 3: you break down.
Speaker 1: Ye movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I actually do like that one, and it's horrifying. Well,
Speaker 2: what's the appeal, Katie? Can you explain it to us?
Speaker 2: For those of us who aren't into the scary movie.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the appeal is. It's just I
Speaker 4: I like getting creeped out.
Speaker 2: Because Joe's about to explain it to us from a
Speaker 2: psychological perspective, but you personally do kind of do you do?
Speaker 1: You do they scare you?
Speaker 4: No, there's something about that feeling of like eerily haunting,
Speaker 4: Like I love going to haunted places and old places
Speaker 4: that have you know, eerie pasts or whatever.
Speaker 1: I there's something about that adrenaline.
Speaker 2: Maybe, so like if I put a sheisty over my
Speaker 2: face that's what the kids call them. Now, if I
Speaker 2: put a schisty over my face and you're walking from
Speaker 2: your car at night and I jump out from behind
Speaker 2: it with a knife, do you see all that was cool?
Speaker 1: That was fun? Or oh you're getting shot? Now? What
Speaker 1: is a shisty?
Speaker 3: They laughing hard in Germany, by the way, that expression,
Speaker 3: what does that?
Speaker 1: What does it mean? In German? The s word poopy?
Speaker 2: Oh really, it's interesting, and shisty is basically a mask
Speaker 2: over your face.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, skiing or whatnot.
Speaker 3: So this dude, Charles Trapanni wrote a piece I go
Speaker 3: through hunted houses and watch horror movies to relax.
Speaker 1: Is there something along with me to relax? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And he goes into a fair amount of detail, loves
Speaker 3: slasher movies. They make him feel meditative and they help
Speaker 3: him relax. Haunted houses also feel like home. Halloween's my
Speaker 3: favorite time of year, and he's really into it. Goes
Speaker 3: to Universal Studios Hollywood La Haunted hay Ride and Creep
Speaker 3: ex Ghosts La Experience, both of which left me feeling.
Speaker 1: Relaxed and refreshed.
Speaker 3: Humm All this led me to wonder, what is it
Speaker 3: about horror I find so appealing? And is something wrong
Speaker 3: with me? And then he goes into their our various
Speaker 3: psychological explanations, some of which he rejects because he spoke
Speaker 3: with multiple therapists and two immediately asked me the same question.
Speaker 1: He writes, did I have a traumatic childhood? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And he said, thankfully no. I tell him my upbringing
Speaker 3: was all in all pretty great.
Speaker 2: And they say some people who have experienced trauma find
Speaker 2: horror comforting because they can go through it until they've
Speaker 2: mastered it.
Speaker 1: But that view is controversial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't believe much in people's ability to
Speaker 2: figure these things out either.
Speaker 3: So dude says he's quite anxious. Is that why I
Speaker 3: like haunt? Haunted houses? And psychotherapist Stephanie Sarks says maybe.
Speaker 3: After all, people cope with anxiety in a variety of ways.
Speaker 3: For some, horror is a useful way of releasing stress.
Speaker 3: It allows them to safely face their fears and even
Speaker 3: have fun with them. It lets us imaginarily enter into
Speaker 3: terrifying situations and ultimately feel as if we survive them.
Speaker 3: You get a shot of adrenaline and you feel like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know what, I really am safe.
Speaker 1: Everything's fine.
Speaker 4: No, that's fascinating because I have horrific anxiety and there
Speaker 4: have been times where I'm like, I'm just gonna sit
Speaker 4: down the couch, I'm gonna tront a horror movie and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna chill out. Wow, And so I'm wondering if
Speaker 4: there's something to that.
Speaker 1: It's like, is it you can be honest now? Is
Speaker 1: it working with Jack every single day? I would up
Speaker 1: trying it.
Speaker 2: It's just so it's like people with ADHD drink those
Speaker 2: energy drinks that calm them as opposed to ramp them up.
Speaker 1: I know people like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder wonder I would like to know for
Speaker 2: the horror movie crowd, is it more women than men?
Speaker 1: Does it tend to be people without kids?
Speaker 2: Or a certain age, because, as I've mentioned, since I
Speaker 2: had kids, I have no interest in practically any movie
Speaker 2: or TV show that has any drama, really, because I
Speaker 2: have so much drama in my life and things to
Speaker 2: worry about. The last freaking thing I want to do
Speaker 2: in the world is worry about, you know, to take
Speaker 2: on somebody else's difficult dynamics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, horror, stress, sadness, no, thanks, yeah, accidents, whatever, I
Speaker 3: just yeah.
Speaker 1: So, I just wonder if it tends to be younger, childless.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to
Speaker 1: come off as jd vance or something. Yeah, childless.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the matter with you, you monster, No wonder
Speaker 3: Kidie's anxious. Half of the people who like these movies
Speaker 3: are trash in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Oh no, supporters, it's a garbage watching these movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of mummies and zombies and other stories things. Hey,

Speaker 1: We're about at the time.
Speaker 2: But a number of people mentioned The Ring, which I've
Speaker 2: never even heard of, Katie, So a lot of other
Speaker 2: people like that, Rosemary's Baby, Uh, that's old timey, The
Speaker 2: Shining Get the Living Dead, the Exorcist. A number of
Speaker 2: people said though Young Frankenstein, while not actually scary, it
Speaker 2: would be kind of a funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Halloween movie to watch.
Speaker 4: Maybe on the Shining is a classic The Ring I
Speaker 4: saw in eighth grade, and if I watch that today.
Speaker 1: It'll still creep me out. Really, Yeah, it's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw some movie I don't think anybody's ever heard
Speaker 2: of called Burnt Offerings. My brother and I did when
Speaker 2: my parents were gone one time when we were teenagers,
Speaker 2: like our first time home alone without a babysitter, and
Speaker 2: we watched it and we were both so creeped out
Speaker 2: we couldn't go to bed that way. So being young helps.
Speaker 2: We got more on the way. You can keep texting
Speaker 2: if you want to brand its side.
Speaker 6: Lizzo Nobody at first incredible patrocious defense from the Yankees,
Speaker 6: leading directly to a Dodger run in the Fed.
Speaker 7: Another party in the streets of East Los Angeles where
Speaker 7: thousands flooded into local neighborhood streets to celebrate the Dodgers
Speaker 7: World Series win Air seven, capturing many instances of street takeovers,
Speaker 7: cars spinning out in these crowded intersections.
Speaker 1: This is dangerous. We saw it happening over and over again.
Speaker 7: Lots of fireworks being shot off as well street takeovers.
Speaker 1: Sure society should just put up with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, your favorite baseball team just won, although that's
Speaker 2: barely related. I mean sometimes in a college town people
Speaker 2: go nuts when their team wins.
Speaker 1: It's mostly about the team.
Speaker 2: I think in LA when the Dodgers or Lakers do something, eh,
Speaker 2: we know, we get to riot tonight.
Speaker 3: I don't live in the right hood, but I'm certain
Speaker 3: there is terminology that they use for there is a
Speaker 3: large crowd on the streets for something. This gives us
Speaker 3: cover to do crimes, right because it's a well known phenomenon.
Speaker 1: God dang it, I find that so maddening.
Speaker 2: Back to the baseball thing though, So Dodgers are down
Speaker 2: five to nothing, then tie it five to five, all
Speaker 2: on unearned runs in the worst inning in the history
Speaker 2: of professional baseball, maybe certainly in.
Speaker 1: A consequential game. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of the most miserable little leaguish
Speaker 3: defense I've ever seen in a baseball game. And it
Speaker 3: was in the World Series, in an elimination game.
Speaker 2: So that pitcher that didn't run over to where he
Speaker 2: was supposed to be to cover first.
Speaker 1: That was Garrett Cole, who's a fantastic pitcher. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and they left him in and he did well. Afterwards.
Speaker 2: So good on him for having the mental toughness. But hell,
Speaker 2: that'll haunt him the rest of his life.
Speaker 1: Won't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of the most impactful mental airs
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in baseball. Bill Buckner, who got a
Speaker 3: pretty rough hop and had the ball go between his legs,
Speaker 3: was like a joke, a goat for kids after that,
Speaker 3: Garrett Cole failing to cover first terrible.
Speaker 1: You work on that in spring training, Garrett, What are
Speaker 1: you doing? Man?
Speaker 2: Sometimes you deserve to lose. That'd be an example of
Speaker 2: deserving to lose.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no kidding anyway, So that's over. So I
Speaker 3: don't have to watch baseball all the time anymore. I
Speaker 3: love it, but it becomes kind of a compulsion, like foma,
Speaker 3: I fear of missing out.
Speaker 1: I can't not watch it as.
Speaker 2: It it is time consuming because I watched a lot
Speaker 2: of the game the last couple of nights and it
Speaker 2: took out.
Speaker 1: It ate up some hours that I just really don't have.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I under now I can get back to
Speaker 3: my book and talking to my wife and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Ye parenting my kids using my finger quotes.
Speaker 3: So we were talking about horror movies last segment and
Speaker 3: This is horror ibyl the North Korean troops being sent
Speaker 3: to be a machine gun fodder in Ukraine. The word
Speaker 3: is a lot of them have no idea what they're
Speaker 3: being assigned to do.
Speaker 1: They're just sent there.
Speaker 3: And as we mentioned the other day, their families are
Speaker 3: now being round off around it up and sent to
Speaker 3: remote locations so that the families can't tell the other
Speaker 3: people in their starving villages. Hey, my kid just got
Speaker 3: sent to die in Ukraine. So goes totalitarian governments. But
Speaker 3: not only is Russia now hitting up North Korea for
Speaker 3: machine gun fodder, they are using young men from impoverished
Speaker 3: countries like India, Cuba, Zambia all over the world. They
Speaker 3: answer Facebook ads offering construction or other civilian jobs, sometimes
Speaker 3: in Russia, sometimes in Ukraine, sometimes in like unrelated countries
Speaker 3: in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: It says you'll work construction at the UAE.
Speaker 3: Then these guys get shipped to Russian and Russian puts
Speaker 3: them in front of the machine guns in Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Wow, third worlders, who you know, they don't have the
Speaker 2: political power to make us think about it, right, And
Speaker 2: if you followed the stories, they make it clear to
Speaker 2: you by torturing and killing some people in front of
Speaker 2: you that you run forward, or we're gonna torture and
Speaker 2: kill you.
Speaker 1: I mean, so those are your options.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, grucive some torture and the abuse, sexual and
Speaker 3: otherwise the hazing of the new troops.
Speaker 1: It's unspeakable. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Those of you who think put in somehow protecting the West.
Speaker 3: Good lord.
Speaker 1: Wow, if you miss an hour of the show, get
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm strong and getty on the man, We're
Speaker 1: strong and gety.
Speaker 5: Do only garbage I see floating down there's his supporters.
Speaker 8: Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,
Speaker 8: which is why he put out a statement that clarified
Speaker 8: what he meant and what he was trying to say.
Speaker 4: So I don't understand why you clutching your pearls because
Speaker 4: you're trying to make something out of a tomslimp.
Speaker 7: As someone who had a start growing up, it's very
Speaker 7: obvious to me if there's an apostrophe at the end
Speaker 7: of supporters there, he was referring to the garbage viewed
Speaker 7: by supporters, not simply the supporters themselves.
Speaker 5: I don't understand why he's walking that back, because I mean,
Speaker 5: based off the examples he gave you. If you are
Speaker 5: a person who supports those examples that he gave you
Speaker 5: are garbage.
Speaker 1: Well, at least that's the more honest of you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why I believe Biden's gaff, whatever the
Speaker 3: explanation you want to offer for it, is maybe the
Speaker 3: most consequential gaff in the history of presidential campaigns. Trump
Speaker 3: and company have seized on it brilliantly with the Trump
Speaker 3: dump truck ride and the address in the crowd on stage,
Speaker 3: with the reflective vest of a sanitation worker, and I mean,
Speaker 3: they're making beautiful hey with it. And Jack, well, I'll
Speaker 3: let you make the point again that you made earlier.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it.
Speaker 2: Was about why it's landed so so resoundingly, I don't remember.
Speaker 1: That's what.
Speaker 2: For goodness sakes, somebody's got to write down Jack's pearls
Speaker 2: wisdoms like he's chairman MAO, so he can remember them. No,
Speaker 2: you made the point that that's what Kamala and her
Speaker 2: people actually think about Trump supporters.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that probably is true. How would it
Speaker 1: not be, I mean.
Speaker 3: Everybody's so true the Beltway establishment has nothing but contempt
Speaker 3: for Trump support of course, Yeah, of course they do,
Speaker 3: and so that that is probably why it sticks, is
Speaker 3: because you know, we know that's how you actually feel.
Speaker 1: It's not like.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's you you can slip up anything. Do you
Speaker 2: think that. No, no, no, I don't think. Oh good,
Speaker 2: I didn't think you probably did. Well, this is not
Speaker 2: one of those. This is a I assumed you thought that.
Speaker 2: Now you've confirmed it. At the risk of muddying the metaphor.
Speaker 3: I'm reminded of some scenes in various movies, and it's
Speaker 3: it's kind of a common trope, but where you have
Speaker 3: the person who is trying to fit into high society
Speaker 3: for one reason or another, and they think they're doing okay,
Speaker 3: and then somebody makes a snide, condescending comment and the
Speaker 3: person realizes, oh no, I'm not fitting in at all.
Speaker 3: In fact, they're all making fun of me. And it
Speaker 3: has that same feel. Even if Biden's senile and he
Speaker 3: meant an apostrophe or whatever, it just rang true anyway.
Speaker 3: In other news, What a great pleasure of this pleasures
Speaker 3: of this job, which if we ever give it up,
Speaker 3: I will miss bitterly, is the ability to tell the
Speaker 3: truth in spite of social pressures, you know, and political correctness,
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. And those of you in blue states,
Speaker 3: blue professions, you know, that's funny.
Speaker 1: I'd never used that. That's what just before? What do
Speaker 1: you call a blue profession.
Speaker 3: That's like, if you're in education, if you're in entertainment,
Speaker 3: you were in media, you're in a blue profession where
Speaker 3: you dare not speak your mind, which is a hell
Speaker 3: of a thing.
Speaker 1: And I would say, that's yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Even if you're not, you're in a profession where it
Speaker 2: would be uncomfortable to be a person of the right.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, that's one of the great things about our
Speaker 3: job is we can tell the truth and I don't
Speaker 3: give a single fly and you know what who it offends,
Speaker 3: which is why we prepare pretty carefully for the show.
Speaker 3: So I don't want to be wrong and defensive. But
Speaker 3: if I'm right and offensive, too bad. Anyway, here's the
Speaker 3: headline for you have forty one illegal aliens arrested for
Speaker 3: looting after Hurricanes Helene and Milton Pinellas County, Florida. The sheriff,
Speaker 3: Bob goldt Airy says from October second through October twenty third,
Speaker 3: roughly three weeks, the Panelas County Sheriff's office arrested a
Speaker 3: total of forty five individuals on sixty eight charges, including
Speaker 3: armed robbery, burglary, loitering and prowling, ground theft, grand theft, vandalism,
Speaker 3: trespass them all trespassing, all having to do with the hurricane.
Speaker 2: I'm going to handle this the way they would handle
Speaker 2: it on face the nation or meet the press, or
Speaker 2: debate or something. I'm going to jump in while you're
Speaker 2: saying that and say, fact check, illegals commit crimes at
Speaker 2: a lower rate than other citizens, and we need to
Speaker 2: move on so on the question of the economy, because
Speaker 2: that's why they do the fact check.
Speaker 1: They land the fact check, and then they move on
Speaker 1: to a different topic so you can't respond to it.
Speaker 3: Of those forty five arrested during that three week post
Speaker 3: hurricane period, forty one are illegal aliens. Forty one out
Speaker 3: of forty five from Mexico. K you about Columbia, Honduras,
Speaker 3: Venezuela and other countries, again according to the sworn sheriff
Speaker 3: of Penelus County, And if you.
Speaker 2: Have pointed out many times, even if people here illegally
Speaker 2: do commit crimes at a lower rate, and I don't
Speaker 2: know how you would possibly know that.
Speaker 1: But even if it were true, what difference does it make.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a less one less crime, or in this case,
Speaker 2: forty two less crimes that would have been.
Speaker 1: Committed if you had a secure border.
Speaker 3: Well, it's forty one fewer criminalles who were committed multiple crimes.
Speaker 3: In addition to the arrests Gualtier, he said, the deputies
Speaker 3: encountered almost two hundred other individuals who were in Penelas
Speaker 3: County immediately after the hurricane, who did not have any
Speaker 3: explanation for why they were there. But they were not
Speaker 3: arrested because the deputies did not have probable cause, but
Speaker 3: they suspected strongly that they were there to graze.
Speaker 1: If you will.
Speaker 3: Speaking of political incorrectness, this is well, there's a little
Speaker 3: there's a there's a jug in the road, there's a switcher. Uh,
Speaker 3: there's a plot whist towards the end. But first, this
Speaker 3: happened on CNN the other day. Here are your players.
Speaker 3: You have Ryan James Gerdosky, who is a Trump surrogate
Speaker 3: and writer commentator, and he is talking to Mede Hassan,
Speaker 3: who is a Muslim commentator and frequent panelist on CNN psycho.
Speaker 1: I get it. Nobody wants to be called Nazis. It's
Speaker 1: very inflammatory. But if you don't want to be called Nazis,
Speaker 1: stop table and people are by me. I never called you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying her saying I'm one of
Speaker 1: the Pudestinians. I'm used to it. Yeah, well, I hope
Speaker 1: your beeaper doesn't go off. The thing is is that
Speaker 1: you should know you just said I should be kill No,
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: Not say let me, let me just.
Speaker 1: Guys. Let's are you apologize?
Speaker 8: Ryan?
Speaker 1: Right? That is completely apology. The first block say the
Speaker 1: Muslim guys should be blown up. I apologize on TV.
Speaker 5: Don't say don't say then I apologize you literally.
Speaker 1: You didn't think said so you're a great guest to
Speaker 1: be here n ones today and so this is this
Speaker 1: is America. Say, okay, I didn't follow all that. There was.
Speaker 1: There was a lot there, Yes there was. It was
Speaker 1: better in headphones.
Speaker 3: But those of you listening, they are arguing back and
Speaker 3: forth and making excuses and are you trying to kill?
Speaker 3: Are you calling for me to be killed? Live on TV?
Speaker 3: Did you just say I should be killed? Lockbown CNN?
Speaker 3: That's disgusting. All sorts of you.
Speaker 1: Doesn't go off. Oh my god, yeah, that's that.
Speaker 3: That is a hell of a thing to say. So
Speaker 3: when the commercial when they then the show returned from
Speaker 3: a commercial break, mister Gerdusky was no longer on the set,
Speaker 3: and miss Phillips, whoever a hell at particular talking twit
Speaker 3: on CNN, said there, I said twit. There is Oh please,
Speaker 3: CNN's got practically nothing but twits on the air. Anyway,
Speaker 3: they came back from the break.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be.
Speaker 2: Dressed as a misogynist for Halloween, I said twit, said
Speaker 2: Miss Phillips, the aforementioned twit. There is a line that
Speaker 2: was crossed there and it's not acceptable to me.
Speaker 1: Statement you blow up. No, that's not what he said.
Speaker 1: You're paraphrasing.
Speaker 3: CNN issued, there's a plot twist, remember there, laughing boy.
Speaker 3: CNN issued to statement shortly afterwards, quote, there is zero
Speaker 3: room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air.
Speaker 3: We will not allow guests to be to mean or
Speaker 3: for the line of civility to be cross Ryan Gronowski
Speaker 3: will not be welcome back at our network. Well, as
Speaker 3: it happens, mister Hassan has a rather rich history of
Speaker 3: preaching at the local mosque. His his speeches are rife
Speaker 3: with non Muslims are animals, homo. He says stuff about
Speaker 3: gay people that if a conservative said it, they would
Speaker 3: be out of their job, if their job was a
Speaker 3: trash collector in Donald Trump's truck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm amazed that he works on a you know,
Speaker 2: a major cable network.
Speaker 1: The things that he says and tweets, it's just wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we ought to go more into his history because
Speaker 3: I've just got a couple of examples. But the one thing,
Speaker 3: and this is what makes me so angry, your preaching
Speaker 3: doesn't off well, that was out of line. It was
Speaker 3: certainly provocative. Yeah, I mean, I'm not defending that in
Speaker 3: the least. It's just the one sided outrage on CNN
Speaker 3: is so precious. And the fact that no he wants
Speaker 3: to talk about that, by the left's very definitions, not
Speaker 3: mine by the left, by CNN's very definitions. Mister Hassan
Speaker 3: and of broad broad stripe of Islam is extremely bigoted
Speaker 3: toward various groups that are protected fiercely on CNN.
Speaker 1: But if it comes from the mouth of a Muslim,
Speaker 1: it's okay.
Speaker 3: It's perfectly Okay, you're pathetic, you have no principles.
Speaker 1: See, wow, she got.
Speaker 2: That guy and all the things that he does and
Speaker 2: says and tweets follow look at his Twitter sometime.
Speaker 1: But and then guy threatened him with getting blown up.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't threaten him exactly. It made an ill
Speaker 1: considered a joke there. Wow, that's some uh, that's some
Speaker 1: discussion there on CNN. And it was impossible to follow also,
Speaker 1: which is what always happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there he is on his Twitter saying there's fascist
Speaker 3: and genocide on the ballot.
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: I think if you're being fair, you got to admit
Speaker 2: that Trump's garbage truck maneuver was pretty well wrought, well timed,
Speaker 2: well executed completely all the way around, from the driving
Speaker 2: the dump truck to the little speech he gave last
Speaker 2: night at the rally.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean we've often used the expression hand you're opponent
Speaker 3: a club to beat you with. Well, they handed him
Speaker 3: a club and he turned it into I don't know,
Speaker 3: an atomic bomb or something.
Speaker 1: They are making Hay with this like crazy. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you haven't heard any daw, we got some of that
Speaker 1: on the way, among other things. Stay here.
Speaker 9: So this guy David Muir, you know, pretty boy, he
Speaker 9: goes touched off. I don't think he's that good looking anymore.
Speaker 9: Time does that, time does that?
Speaker 1: What the hell.
Speaker 2: Trumps rally? But I like the self deprecating humor, you know,
Speaker 2: I think it works. I don't hear that very much
Speaker 2: from other politicians where they mock their weight, their hair, their.
Speaker 3: Age, other than I'm a knucklehead some times, right, and
Speaker 3: I'm a knucklehead at times.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so we know the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Right, There was the stupid joke about Puerto Rico that
Speaker 2: shouldn't have been much of a story anyway.
Speaker 1: Then Biden responded it to it.
Speaker 5: Like garbage I see flowing down there as his supporters.
Speaker 2: And that shouldn't be a story. But if you're gonna
Speaker 2: make the other one a story, you're gonna make this
Speaker 2: one a story. And I mean, it shouldn't certainly be
Speaker 2: multi day stories the last week of an election. But
Speaker 2: you played that game on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
Speaker 2: over the Puerto Rico joke. So everybody else gets to
Speaker 2: play this game with the president's comments, and you're not wrong.
Speaker 2: But move to a universe where this stuff doesn't matter politically, right.
Speaker 1: It seems too right.
Speaker 2: So Trump got in a garbage truck yesterday.
Speaker 1: And it sounded like this, how do you like my garbage truck?
Speaker 9: This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: And then he talked a lot about it at his rally,
Speaker 2: wearing the orange vest, and we played a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of it earlier. And he talks about getting in the
Speaker 2: truck and we drove like two feet and I got out,
Speaker 2: which I thought was hilarious to you know, admit to
Speaker 2: the photo op aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. But anyway, explains the orange vest.
Speaker 9: And then I gave a little news conference from the
Speaker 9: front of the you know, they asked their wise guy
Speaker 9: questions and everything, and then we drove about two feet.
Speaker 1: I got into the planet and then I got in the.
Speaker 9: Car and I'm driving over here and I have this
Speaker 9: still on. And I come into the arena and I said,
Speaker 9: where's my jacket? I want to get out of this stage.
Speaker 9: And they said it would be unbelievable if you could
Speaker 9: wear it on stage.
Speaker 1: I said, and I said, no way.
Speaker 9: I got twenty five thousand people say outside.
Speaker 1: I got all these people here. There's no way I'm
Speaker 1: wearing it on stage.
Speaker 9: They said, oh okay, sir, I.
Speaker 1: Said, get me my jacket.
Speaker 9: But if you did, you know it actually makes you
Speaker 9: look thinner, I said, and they got me. I said,
Speaker 9: I want to wear it on stage.
Speaker 1: When they said I looked thinner, I said, in that case,
Speaker 1: I'll wear it on set.
Speaker 9: I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go,
Speaker 9: I may go in this.
Speaker 1: I said that. That was my That was the word.
Speaker 1: That was the key. So you look thinner? So how
Speaker 1: does that play?
Speaker 2: Wearing the working class vest in front of a crowd
Speaker 2: full of overweight people like we all are.
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, and calling out the idiocy of politics for
Speaker 3: its idiocy, right in front of a crowd, having participated
Speaker 3: in it, winking at them, making them his confidant.
Speaker 1: Exactly, we drove like two feet I got out. Everybody
Speaker 1: laughs like right, So he.
Speaker 3: Does the beautiful political stunt that admits it's a stunt
Speaker 3: and laughs with his supporters about it.
Speaker 2: How that's look, Trump's got a thousand flaws, but that's brilliant. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he has got a talent for that. There's no doubt, sir.
Speaker 2: It makes you look thinner, like the way in his
Speaker 2: world everybody calls him sir and everybody they came to
Speaker 2: me and they said, sir.
Speaker 1: Oh, that reminds me.
Speaker 2: Speaking of behind the scenes and letting people in on things.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I retweeted this. Let me verify that.
Speaker 3: If you follow us on the Twitter sometimes known as
Speaker 3: x I won't call it x.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a videotape behind the scenes of Trump
Speaker 3: watching and reacting to Kamala's DNC speech and dictating what.
Speaker 1: To tweet to his assistant and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's really quite interesting.
Speaker 3: It's barely a minute long, but I just found it
Speaker 3: revealing and interesting to see trump worlds behind the scenes
Speaker 3: in action. Again, if you follow us on Twitter, Armstrong
Speaker 3: and Getty, you can get it.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll send it to the guys.
Speaker 3: We can post the video the link at armstrong and
Speaker 3: geddy dot com.
Speaker 2: See when none so biased they can't say it out loud.
Speaker 2: Pundit strategists say Trump is one of the most talented
Speaker 2: politicians ever.
Speaker 1: That's what they're talking about.
Speaker 2: What he just did, He clearly is he's one of
Speaker 2: the best politicians.
Speaker 1: He's ever lived.
Speaker 2: He's also a crazy person, and then he does things
Speaker 2: that are malpracticed, like not letting Nicky Haley campaign for him.
Speaker 1: Just out of spite. It's just dumb.
Speaker 3: But as I said earlier, if he loses, and he might,
Speaker 3: his not utilizing Nicky Haley to woo suburban women will
Speaker 3: be Hillary's didn't go to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: By the way, I watched.
Speaker 2: I listened to a podcast yesterday with Steve Kernaky of
Speaker 2: he's the NBC poll guy who's super you know, nerdy
Speaker 2: number guy, and I think very fair, even though he's
Speaker 2: on an incredibly unfair channel. But he said things to
Speaker 2: watch out for, and I hadn't thought of this before.
Speaker 2: The higher the turnout, the more it benefits Trump. A
Speaker 2: low turnout is good for Harris because so many of
Speaker 2: the Trump voters are people that don't regularly vote, and
Speaker 2: they came out of the woodwork in twenty sixteen, came
Speaker 2: out of the woodwork in twenty twenty, just not as
Speaker 2: many as the people that came out for Biden. But
Speaker 2: high turnout. So if you're seeing high turnout early in
Speaker 2: the evening, that's good news for Trump.
Speaker 1: Low turnout's good news for Harris.
Speaker 2: Also, the polling shows the gender gap favors the GOP,
Speaker 2: perhaps for the first time in history, in model since
Speaker 2: they've had polling.
Speaker 1: Well, it's always been.
Speaker 2: I'ven't hearing about the gender gap since I was a kid,
Speaker 2: and it was always because more women turnout for Democrats
Speaker 2: or whoever than men do. So it's could you even
Speaker 2: that up? For the first time ever, It's going to
Speaker 2: be more men than women determining an election based on
Speaker 2: the most recent polling, and that's never happened before. I'm
Speaker 2: sure it happened back in the day, like certainly pre
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty when women weren't allowed to vote, but in
Speaker 2: the modern era, the women are more dependable voters than men.
Speaker 3: I almost saw it's a good old days jokes. Thank
Speaker 3: god I restrained myself.
Speaker 6: I'm black.
